  Damn man. I'm, I'm honored to be able to

• 0:43
  originally and then you kept playing like it was a joke and I
• 0:46
  was sort of like, well, we'll see if I get an e-mail now
• 0:49
  there's a video. For it to be a joke, I was
• 0:52
  stoked. I was like, yes I'm running with
• 0:54
  this. Oh dude, Tyler shut James down
• 0:57
  so. Hard.
• 0:58
  I didn't. Know how to respond.
• 0:59
  And dude, he was gonna go, let's give it a day.
• 1:02
  And I'm like, no, no. Don't scare him away.
• 1:04
  We can't. Do that we want him, Tyler.
• 1:08
  You got me good 'cause I looked at my phone and I was like, oh,
• 1:12
  all right, well, moving on, you know, like I wasn't gonna go.
• 1:14
  I wasn't going anyway, so I was like, OK, you got me.
• 1:17
  Thank God I'm good. James is under selling this
• 1:19
  cause James was like, Oh my gosh, yes, I would love to.
• 1:23
  And Tyler goes. Tyler goes.
• 1:25
  We're just, we're just kidding. Send emojis.
• 1:29
  Send a bunch of heart emojis. Yeah.
• 1:32
  We had a lot of comments while we were late.
• 1:34
  I'm sorry guys, I was on my way back from the gym and I ran into
• 1:37
  some traffic. But I do want to pull up a
• 1:40
  couple of these while we do. You still have some.
• 1:44
  We do dude. We're thinking about doing a new
• 1:46
  batch and like doing a pre-order this time, but that's.
• 1:49
  A good idea? I don't know.
• 1:51
  I'd order another thousand. I think you got more popular
• 1:53
  than you were a couple years ago.
• 1:54
  I thought this one would was funny.
• 1:56
  Yeah, that means I should get 200 instead of 300.
• 1:59
  Maybe. Hold on, there's another one.
• 2:01
  This is funny 'cause my shirt is actually dirty.
• 2:05
  I don't know if you can see it, you can't really see it in
• 2:07
  there, but it's actually dirty. So I thought that was funny.
• 2:10
  Are. We are we rooming together JY.
• 2:13
  I think so. You are now that.
• 2:15
  'D be good, man I'm, I'm dirty. I'm a messy guy too, so that'll
• 2:17
  be nice. I'm not that messy.
• 2:20
  Just like pig pen living in squalor.
• 2:22
  No, no, no, I'm. I'm not really that messy.
• 2:24
  I just don't mind wearing dirty clothes.
• 2:27
  That's literally the definition of messy.
• 2:29
  But like my room is not my room is not messy.
• 2:32
  Does that make sense? Yeah, you don't live in a just.
• 2:35
  It lives on you. Yeah, yeah.
• 2:37
  As long as you can handle the the afterglow of McDonald's and
• 2:41
  Taco Bell, you should be fine. Yeah.
• 2:44
  Dude, times like Syndicate or anytime you're traveling like
• 2:46
  that to A to an event, that's the time to just live it up and
• 2:49
  be gross. I agree.
• 2:52
  James, what's your favorite? Fast food, MG drinks?
• 2:54
  Yeah. My favorite fast food, Yeah.
• 3:00
  I mean, oh, man, like real fast food.
• 3:03
  Like probably McDonald's. Like if it's real fast.
• 3:05
  Food. Let's go, James.
• 3:06
  Oh man. But when's the last time you've
• 3:08
  had McDonald's though, James? Within within the last six
• 3:13
  months. Little double cheeseburger now
• 3:15
  and then is nice there. We go.
• 3:17
  I like that a lot. Chick-fil-A pretty recently.
• 3:23
  Sonic is good too though. I like Sonic.
• 3:25
  I live. I lived in Tennessee for two
• 3:27
  years. Like I love fast food.
• 3:28
  So James, I think we should 20 piece nugget up and then go
• 3:31
  snatch A barbell after and that's just.
• 3:34
  That'll be a down, man. Bro date of all bro dates.
• 3:37
  I mean, I've I've walked through it.
• 3:38
  If you haven't walked through a McDonald's take out window and
• 3:42
  ordered and taken something and walked away, you haven't lived.
• 3:44
  So you've. Walked through 1.
• 3:47
  Oh yeah. That's going deep.
• 3:49
  I could not draw a reason. For it.
• 3:51
  I could not. It was a long time ago.
• 3:55
  Long time ago I could. I've never had that issue, but.
• 4:00
  Hey man, I think it might be your first time it.
• 4:04
  Was hard to keep this card close that James was coming.
• 4:08
  Especially since John do early on, yeah.
• 4:11
  Yeah, like I was, I was really close to smelling it.
• 4:14
  The room didn't even. Jon didn't even know what the
• 4:17
  what the other bean was. Sorry.
• 4:19
  Go ahead, James. Yeah, I was gonna say a couple
• 4:22
  people have have texted me and said that you're kind of like a
• 4:25
  bean Spiller. A little bit.
• 4:28
  I don't I Here's the thing, people don't tell me when I'm
• 4:32
  not supposed to say something. I literally told you.
• 4:36
  Don't. Tell the athletes the scores.
• 4:38
  And and that was one time, Tyler.
• 4:40
  That, that, that. And like like.
• 4:42
  The thing is, I am a bad decipher of we.
• 4:47
  We shouldn't say anything. We shouldn't say anything so.
• 4:51
  He doesn't get the like. I'll just, I'll just like be
• 4:54
  free flowing conversation and not and not be thinking.
• 4:57
  It's not like I'm doing it on purpose.
• 4:59
  But anytime somebody's like, hey, don't say this.
• 5:03
  Except for the one time with Tyler, then I've been really
• 5:07
  good. I've been really good about it.
• 5:10
  John's default is share, not withhold.
• 5:13
  But not like I'm going to go tell somebody.
• 5:16
  It's it's very like just in conversation.
• 5:18
  I didn't know we were supposed to keep that secret.
• 5:21
  Would you guys agree? It's not like I go out as soon
• 5:23
  as I hear. It No, you're not like a
• 5:25
  blabbermouth. Anytime besides that one time
• 5:28
  anytime you let stuff loose, I'm like never mad.
• 5:31
  I'm like, well, you know, we did.
• 5:33
  It's just John. We weren't directed on it, Yeah.
• 5:38
  I, I, I honestly do not know that I'm not supposed to get
• 5:42
  share this. And then and then, and then it's
• 5:44
  made abundantly clear after the fact.
• 5:46
  And then I was like, well, that's, I'm sorry, that's
• 5:48
  unfortunate. That's my fault.
• 5:50
  Not my bad. But if it's made clear to me
• 5:53
  that I'm not supposed to say it, I don't say it all.
• 5:56
  Right I'll. Make sure to do that.
• 5:59
  So next time, you know, HQ wants to tell me how things are going
• 6:02
  right now and like, just, you know, I'll be good.
• 6:05
  Good thing you weren't on before, James told us who the
• 6:07
  CEO was going to be. So.
• 6:08
  You missed it man. I cannot tell you now so.
• 6:11
  Dude, there was one. One time I said maybe it was
• 6:17
  Chad. I apologize if it wasn't Chad,
• 6:19
  but I said that CrossFit was going to do Chad joking like 5
• 6:24
  months before the games. And do you remember the spin and
• 6:28
  and Baz called me and I did not have his number.
• 6:32
  So it was like a random number and I don't know how he got my
• 6:35
  number. And he goes hey, is anybody like
• 6:38
  telling you stuff? And I was like, no, like, but I
• 6:45
  don't. It sounded like somebody
• 6:47
  absolutely was. And I'm just saying no.
• 6:50
  But I was like, hey, and I would tell you if like, you know, we
• 6:53
  know stuff we're not supposed to know.
• 6:54
  Like, I don't think, I don't think we know anything.
• 6:58
  But you did. But I didn't, and I just threw
• 7:01
  that out there. I didn't know it, you know what
• 7:02
  I mean? It was just a guess, but it
• 7:04
  wasn't even a guess. I was just kind of having fun.
• 7:06
  But, and it might not even been that, but there was a time that
• 7:08
  Baz called me that was like, why do you know this?
• 7:14
  And and I didn't even know that I knew something that I wasn't
• 7:17
  supposed to know. Why do you know this and why did
• 7:20
  you tell Jason the open workout? I do.
• 7:23
  That was all Jason. I didn't know the open one that
• 7:26
  that he somebody definitely told him that that wasn't wasn't for
• 7:29
  me. I promise.
• 7:30
  I was I was on Sivan's show when what was it, 24 point 323.3 got
• 7:36
  leaked. I just.
• 7:39
  Stopped there. Yeah, it was 24.3.
• 7:41
  I was at proven that was when it flashed up on the screen.
• 7:43
  Just like somebody's in trouble. I just sat.
• 7:46
  Pop took it. I was like that.
• 7:47
  That can't be it. I don't know.
• 7:49
  What it is, I think I said I know what it is and that's not
• 7:51
  it. I was at Proven.
• 7:54
  Yeah, I was at Proven and posted on Instagram.
• 7:57
  And then Dave, like, walks by. I'm like, hey, how?
• 7:59
  You doing? Oh, that's good.
• 8:02
  I don't know if you knew at that point that it was out, but.
• 8:05
  Have you ever commentated, James?
• 8:06
  Did we hire somebody? 2017, man.
• 8:09
  Yeah, 2020, yeah, 2017, I did what this, it was a regional, I
• 8:14
  think it was San Antonio. Yeah.
• 8:17
  And then I did the teams at the games with Jeff Brightwell.
• 8:21
  Yeah, Yeah. Way more professional than John
• 8:24
  and Tyler, Yeah. Yeah, man, I got a You're gonna.
• 8:26
  Get a lot less notes. Man, you need all the notes and
• 8:31
  the notes. A lot more knowledge, am I
• 8:33
  right, Tyler? Yeah.
• 8:36
  You guys have a lot more up there man.
• 8:37
  My brain is too old to remember anything but the notes they used
• 8:40
  to give us were crazy. Like we had a whole team of just
• 8:43
  like stats. You got Chad right next to you.
• 8:46
  Yeah, I just. I mean, you can't.
• 8:48
  You can't. It's hard to, it's hard to reel
• 8:51
  off stuff if it's not natural, like if you have just this sheet
• 8:54
  of stuff because everything's happening so fast and like by
• 8:58
  the time you're get to the stat that you want to say if somebody
• 9:01
  gives you a of somebody, yeah, we're on to somebody else.
• 9:04
  So you either got to know this thing like you just just know it
• 9:07
  and you could say it very quickly or it I don't think it
• 9:11
  comes off not great. I feel like I'm getting hazed
• 9:15
  right now. Yeah.
• 9:15
  You don't want to be like, you know, like, oh, she just hit 225
• 9:18
  LB clean and then all of a sudden I'm like in in 2012.
• 9:21
  She loves Teletubbies, you know, like just some random factoids.
• 9:27
  That's where I struggle 'cause I literally cannot remit.
• 9:30
  Like stats leave my, I have no like long term memory for those.
• 9:34
  They just leave my brain immediately and it's like kind
• 9:37
  of stupid 'cause like I'll spend a bunch of time like making and
• 9:40
  looking at stats and they'll be like all right, it's gone.
• 9:42
  I don't when. You're a numbers guy.
• 9:45
  There's too many numbers, is the thing.
• 9:46
  There's too many in there. Don't worry, James I, I got it
• 9:49
  all. Conspiracy.
• 9:51
  You got to keep us on the track, keep us on the track and then
• 9:54
  I'll reel off stuff as it happens.
• 9:56
  I can't wait, man. It's a stacked field.
• 9:59
  I haven't been to a competition like this in a long time
• 10:01
  outside, outside of the game, so I'm really excited.
• 10:04
  I've heard a lot of good things about Syndicate.
• 10:07
  They were super gracious, reaching out, getting things,
• 10:09
  you know, just chatting with them.
• 10:10
  So that's gonna. Be.
• 10:14
  You might either competing with Wilson running it.
• 10:18
  I don't. I don't think so.
• 10:21
  Maybe. You've been the you were in the
• 10:23
  Mac or Syndicate the last. Yeah, he did the Mac back in.
• 10:25
  Five years, I guess, yeah. Any any of the semi finals of
• 10:28
  those, Yeah. Yeah, I never, I never went down
• 10:31
  there for that. So dude, I'm pumped.
• 10:34
  It's. Great.
• 10:34
  It is a cool like the location in Knoxville is really it's
• 10:38
  really cool. It's old like the I think it's
• 10:41
  the oldest auditorium in Knoxville owned by the city.
• 10:46
  Maybe Tennessee? Like oil lights or something.
• 10:48
  It's like the big old ones like I, I think like 10 years ago
• 10:52
  everybody shifted out, you know, from the, you know, the big old
• 10:55
  can like YMCA style lights and it's, it's still got those.
• 11:00
  You got to go underground. Yeah, you got to go.
• 11:02
  You go. Down from the the you walk in,
• 11:04
  you go down to the the floor so. Yeah, I'm, I'm, I'm psyched for
• 11:08
  it, man. And like I said, I think it's as
• 11:11
  long as all the people who said they're going to show up, show
• 11:12
  up. A lot of invites going to be
• 11:14
  going out here soon too, so we'll find out who else is.
• 11:17
  Going what? What date is this?
• 11:19
  Invites going out April 10th. Soon.
• 11:22
  As soon. I'm not sure.
• 11:23
  Yeah, I. Don't want to say finalize
• 11:25
  leaderboard, I guess we'll talk about.
• 11:27
  That we'll get to that here in a second, but no, I'm not excited.
• 11:30
  As ones went out. Yeah, the Masters Legends just
• 11:33
  released their full invites. I know Magic City's been trying
• 11:37
  to get to it. Syndicates released the teams,
• 11:40
  but that was based off the open, so I don't know where they are
• 11:43
  on that process of filling, filling out the roster.
• 11:47
  I think teams addition to Syndicate will be awesome.
• 11:52
  Having having the fans, hopefully the the affiliate, you
• 11:56
  know, members will come and join and kind of get more crowd
• 11:59
  going. So that'll be good.
• 12:01
  Team registration also is looking real good right now.
• 12:04
  Is it? Yeah.
• 12:05
  Good. Well, that's good because
• 12:06
  athlete registration is not looking good.
• 12:09
  Well. That's, I'm saying in the world.
• 12:12
  In the world just in in general. In general, yeah, yeah.
• 12:15
  They're, I mean, they're in a position we can get to that
• 12:18
  later. Yeah, we'll get to that.
• 12:20
  But no guys, this the US four and Pedro, Pedro will join us.
• 12:25
  So we'll have a a mixed bag of of commentary from professional
• 12:29
  to John. Me.
• 12:32
  So. Say that I think I'm like the
• 12:35
  second most like. Something.
• 12:37
  Have done things out of all of us that didn't sound out of All
• 12:42
  Out. Of us for for sure just.
• 12:45
  Random things, well. No commentary.
• 12:47
  Honestly, if James is only that one time, I'm the most.
• 12:50
  I know, I know. That's true.
• 12:51
  That's rough. If I'm the most like what, what
• 12:55
  word am I looking for? Experience.
• 12:57
  If the most experienced commentator like we might be in
• 13:00
  trouble. That's not great, but no.
• 13:02
  Man, we're going to, we're going to, we're going to make it
• 13:04
  awesome and probably just say some crazy stuff.
• 13:07
  That's the best part, yeah, man, we got, we got in some of those
• 13:13
  lower heat athletes, the early heat athletes, man it.
• 13:16
  That was the best thing. What are you going to call them?
• 13:20
  The dregs? We got in some of those people
• 13:21
  who aren't that. Fit man and they took it too.
• 13:24
  They, they were playing ball with us.
• 13:25
  They were the IT was the best. I saw Theo Kemper commenting
• 13:29
  somewhere. Theo, you still have us through
• 13:31
  that jersey. I still got that jersey.
• 13:32
  I'm going to definitely wear that as syndicate this year.
• 13:34
  You should. You should James, you want to do
• 13:37
  some viewer comments to stick around and and.
• 13:40
  I mean, I've watched them so many times.
• 13:42
  Like I can't even like the fact that I'm here is like I feel
• 13:44
  like I'm in a fever dream or something.
• 13:46
  That's fair. That's fine.
• 13:48
  A lot, a lot of our guests say that.
• 13:49
  All right, first one at Brody Edge, listening to this episode
• 13:55
  that's last week and hearing the knocks on the quarterfinals
• 13:58
  takes me back to when you were analyzing the WFP and got a bit
• 14:01
  of backlash for your response to the WFP downfalls.
• 14:05
  I wonder if these people are still listening.
• 14:10
  Were we critical of quarterfinals last week?
• 14:14
  Yeah. I'm actually everybody needs
• 14:17
  more or less critical than anybody else.
• 14:22
  Yeah. I think we just call it like we
• 14:24
  see it like it's not about like criticizing WFP just to
• 14:27
  criticize them. It's our opinion of how things
• 14:30
  should be better. And I think we do the same with
• 14:32
  quarterfinals. Yeah, Brody, will you at all the
• 14:35
  people who are gone and not listening to us because we were
• 14:38
  harping on WFP get them to to rewatch last week?
• 14:42
  I mean, like, it's not that I'm like trying to tear it was the
• 14:47
  same thing. Like I'm not trying to tell it
• 14:48
  tear down WFP. I'm not trying to tear down
• 14:50
  CrossFit. Like just see it how I see it.
• 14:53
  I'm saying it. Like you were divisive and
• 14:56
  negative. Yeah, I was.
• 14:58
  Generally, that's how I operate. How do you how do you think I
• 15:00
  was James? You like left in the middle of
• 15:05
  the show or something? Vacant.
• 15:08
  Go on absent. What do you think, James?
• 15:12
  Like obviously you competed you're you're way up there in
• 15:16
  your Masters division. What do you think about the
• 15:19
  quarterfinals workouts? And that means you're old.
• 15:21
  You're unbiased. I'm right there with you.
• 15:23
  So I'm just not competitively. Was just right there with you.
• 15:28
  You know, I, I talked to some of a lot of people about this.
• 15:30
  I, I probably have an opinion. No one will like as an athlete,
• 15:32
  I'm like, I don't care, just give me more workouts.
• 15:34
  That's kind of how I feel. Fair enough.
• 15:37
  And then I was saying earlier like if it was up to me, it'd be
• 15:39
  all 20 minute Amraps. So I would like to see that.
• 15:43
  Make the community happy for sure.
• 15:45
  Yeah, I mean, I would. Just as happy as they are now I
• 15:49
  I personally. Yeah, I also fall into the camp
• 15:54
  because I suck at lifting that Yeah right.
• 15:58
  That I don't think we should have a single like a single
• 16:01
  modality element at this at this stage and let maybe maybe in A2
• 16:04
  parter, maybe in A2 parter. I would have liked to see some
• 16:08
  longer workouts I got I don't think I think that's a fine
• 16:11
  criticism of it. So I.
• 16:13
  Mean, I think, yeah, I think it's hard though when you're
• 16:17
  looking at the quarterfinals as 25% of like you're trying to be,
• 16:23
  I'll say it inclusive for 25%. I don't think it's hard at all.
• 16:26
  But you're looking at the people who are the top 102 hundred 300
• 16:31
  in the world who are fighting for one of these semifinal
• 16:34
  spots. And you've got a mere handful of
• 16:37
  seconds that are separating hundreds of, you know, places on
• 16:41
  the leaderboard. And, you know, you added some
• 16:46
  more complexity. You add workouts that have maybe
• 16:48
  more separation at the top. It's gonna.
• 16:52
  Be harder like how do you, how do you balance that?
• 16:56
  Yeah, John, for sure. It it falls in line with this,
• 16:59
  it falls in line with this. The the 4th workout is a 500
• 17:04
  meter row 30 cleaning jerks AT135500 meter row 30 strict
• 17:08
  handstand push ups, but it's a 20 minute AMRAP 500 meter row
• 17:13
  18030 cleaning jerks AT185500 meter row 30 strict deficit
• 17:18
  handstand push ups. That is a gated way to have
• 17:22
  harder gymnastics and harder barbell.
• 17:24
  You got to be pretty fit to get to it.
• 17:25
  Most people are stuck at the 185 LB cleaning jerks.
• 17:28
  The fittest in the world. Get to the deficit handstand
• 17:30
  push ups, 20 minute AMRAP. If you get to the row in the
• 17:34
  third round of rendition, it starts back at 30.
• 17:37
  Cleaning jerks at 1:35 'cause I think very very few people will
• 17:40
  get there. Thanks John for clarifying.
• 17:42
  You're welcome. And then it's much better.
• 17:44
  I just, I know that way. So everybody's quick.
• 17:46
  Do OK Third workout. Deadlift workout.
• 17:50
  No, no, just those two. Just.
• 17:51
  Those two, no, I'm just. I'm just getting ready for what
• 17:54
  I need to intake right now. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 17:56
  Just those two. You go 1231 round at 225, two
• 18:02
  rounds AT2753 rounds at 3:15. You keep the same time cap,
• 18:07
  right? That separates people.
• 18:10
  If you want the deadlift workout.
• 18:11
  I'm not a big fan of high Rep pinching, but it's just because
• 18:13
  I sucked at high Rep pinching. Would you get that workout?
• 18:18
  Like 636. Oh yeah, that's slower than I
• 18:20
  thought you'd be for sure. I'm I'm just not good at
• 18:23
  deadlift workouts period. My back, my back blows up.
• 18:25
  If it's squats, I'm really great.
• 18:26
  If it's deadlifts, I'm not great.
• 18:27
  But me beside the point like that separates people.
• 18:32
  You have 3 rounds at the end at 3:15, still 10 reps right, But
• 18:36
  then 50 dubs those two changes, 2 simple changes.
• 18:42
  Does that not make quarterfinals way better and everybody can
• 18:48
  still participate? And if you agree with that, if
• 18:52
  you say yes to that answer, why the freak can they not just do
• 18:56
  that at HQ? Because I don't think it's that
• 18:58
  hard. Was this a question?
• 18:59
  I don't think that's that hard. I I can be, I can be like the
• 19:04
  voodoo doll that you just poke with the knives.
• 19:06
  And I can take that. I'm, I'm here for it.
• 19:10
  I'll say this. I think gated workouts like
• 19:12
  skill gated weight gated workouts are a good way to
• 19:15
  achieve what it sounds like you desire in quarterfinals.
• 19:19
  And maybe having more of those would have helped that.
• 19:23
  I still fall into the camp. If feasible, I'd like more video
• 19:26
  review top to bottom, at least for a couple workouts further
• 19:29
  down the leaderboard. I don't, you know, there's
• 19:31
  obviously a lot of hurdles to get there, but yeah, I'll tell
• 19:36
  you what I'm saying. Problem I want to be a problem
• 19:39
  solver here that. Was on the fence answer well.
• 19:42
  I didn't like your your. Two rounds.
• 19:44
  This is such a freaking stupid thing.
• 19:46
  I made semi finals. This this.
• 19:48
  Freaking question. Crossfat and Hobart are in the
• 19:51
  same room together. This is crazy.
• 19:52
  Weird. I want to be a problem solver.
• 19:55
  Next year, CrossFit let us do the review.
• 19:57
  We'll do a 24 hour live stream of us just reviewing live.
• 20:02
  It's sort of a torture session for for, you know.
• 20:05
  Bashing on you, We'll just take it upon ourselves.
• 20:09
  Are you serious about that? That I would 100% do that can.
• 20:12
  You can you explain what you just said because I'm I don't.
• 20:15
  Understand like barstool as a punishment they made a dude stay
• 20:20
  up for like 36 hours straight. And no one was.
• 20:22
  Watching so they just turned off the stream but he stayed in the
• 20:24
  room himself for like 36 hours. But in our case, since we've
• 20:29
  been harping on CrossFit for not doing video review, just make us
• 20:32
  do it and we'll do a 24 hour live stream.
• 20:34
  We, we will do that. Freaking Andrew will do it by
• 20:37
  himself. But we, we will do that.
• 20:39
  Absolutely hire, hire us out. Listen, 50 grand.
• 20:43
  I'll do anything. It'll kill our YouTube channel.
• 20:45
  Views will be. Terrible, but.
• 20:46
  Views will be terrible. It's OK.
• 20:49
  It's OK because we're doing a service for the better of
• 20:53
  CrossFit 'cause that's what we all want.
• 20:55
  You imagine just watching 24 hours of videos?
• 20:58
  Oh. You're gonna.
• 20:59
  So bad. Listen, I would do it.
• 21:01
  I would do it absolutely for the betterment of CrossFit.
• 21:05
  I mean, Speaking of. We woke up at 3:00 AM to watch
• 21:08
  freaking strong women snort freaking sniff forever.
• 21:12
  Like absolutely, we were ever whatever smelling.
• 21:15
  Snort. Sniff.
• 21:16
  Forever. Smelling snort, smelling salt to
• 21:18
  our nosebleeds. These these she men.
• 21:21
  OK, we we woke up at 3:00 AM to watch that, OK.
• 21:25
  Weirdest James. Have you ever done smelling?
• 21:26
  Have you ever done smelling salts, Shawn?
• 21:28
  I have not. They're.
• 21:29
  Little ammonia. I'm gonna bring some.
• 21:31
  I'm gonna bring some to syndicate.
• 21:32
  We're gonna do some together. We're gonna have a whole morning
• 21:34
  routine. You. 3:15 on the bar and I'll do
• 21:39
  smelling salt and then try to snatch it immediately after.
• 21:42
  Oh my God, nothing would make me happier.
• 21:44
  Walk up to it, John and Clark it just don't even.
• 21:47
  No, no, no, no. I'm just going to do it cold.
• 21:50
  Oh, oh, just. That's what she did that long.
• 21:51
  Time like that girl, James, James and we'll get back on top
• 21:55
  of it. But James, this girl you're
• 21:59
  supposed to like, pick something up and move it or whatever,
• 22:02
  right? You need the strong, strong men,
• 22:03
  strong woman men events. I don't mean that in a trance
• 22:09
  way, just I'm trying to get the at least stop, stop, stop, stop.
• 22:13
  She she deadlift a minute. She sniffs this salt for a pure
• 22:17
  a full minute. A full minute gets her like gets
• 22:25
  a mirror out. See if her nose is bleeding.
• 22:27
  It's not yet. And then she keeps on sniffing
• 22:30
  it until her nose bleeds and then she walks out and then
• 22:37
  just, oh, it doesn't move. And then walked away.
• 22:41
  And I'm talking 8 minutes of build up of just putting your
• 22:46
  nose through God knows what. Pablo Escobar and a better nose
• 22:50
  than this woman or a more healthier nose than this woman
• 22:53
  and then just touch the barbell with two hands.
• 22:57
  That was it. $1,000,000 wind up 10 cent finish man you know it
• 23:00
  happens happens the. Best of us.
• 23:02
  One more. Note on on the quarterfinals,
• 23:06
  for me anyway, is I caught up with Rich or the Mayhem's
• 23:11
  podcast on this pretty good. And it was funny.
• 23:14
  I like I I agreed with Rich wholeheartedly.
• 23:17
  Like I just looked at the workouts and I was like, meh.
• 23:21
  Like they weren't. There was nothing that I wanted
• 23:23
  to chase in them and the only one that I redid, which was the
• 23:29
  burpee 1 is because I knew I could go faster and I was I was
• 23:32
  disappointed in it. But like, you know, I I told the
• 23:36
  guys this like I think the the deadlift bar should have started
• 23:39
  at 3:15 and gone up to 4 O 5I. Just I'm not in favor of that.
• 23:44
  That's not in favor of that. I want to know we've, we've not
• 23:47
  seen like really a barbell that heavy.
• 23:48
  It is still approachable for most people.
• 23:51
  I think, you know, you could start it at 275 or whatever, but
• 23:55
  I think it should have gone up to a weight that's enticing when
• 23:59
  you're like, oh, that's, that's fun.
• 24:01
  Like that's kind of heavy. And that's how I felt about all
• 24:03
  the workouts. They would just like there was
• 24:05
  something missing where the carrot at the end just wasn't
• 24:09
  what I wanted. The carrot at the end was like,
• 24:10
  get a faster time. And to me, that's just not
• 24:13
  enough of an answer. Yeah, that's fair.
• 24:17
  I think those are fair arguments.
• 24:18
  I, I don't know, I just, yeah, I think gated workouts might
• 24:21
  accomplish what you guys people are saying.
• 24:23
  I think that they want more out of it or what they want out of
• 24:27
  it, especially if you want to balance that community
• 24:30
  participation with separating top tip top athletes.
• 24:35
  Yeah, I think that's I think that's fair.
• 24:37
  Thank you. Do you not think it should be
• 24:39
  like that though? You said it's a fair argument
• 24:42
  and if you just say if you just plead the 5th James, if you
• 24:45
  don't? Want to keep asking you
• 24:47
  questions? Steve, I do not think it should
• 24:49
  be like that. And and like, I don't think it's
• 24:53
  hard to freaking make workouts that accomplish that.
• 24:56
  So when CrossFit continues to not do that, and this applies to
• 25:00
  the Open too somewhat, it's frustrating because y'all are
• 25:07
  better than this. You're better than this.
• 25:13
  Yeah, I mean, I like I said, I was telling you guys I've had we
• 25:16
  can. Tune bots in too then I will say
• 25:18
  the same things. Yeah, the least I've I've I've
• 25:21
  I've had to do with the game season.
• 25:24
  And I think the one of the major goals or maybe overriding goal
• 25:27
  was to make the workouts as appealing as possible for a
• 25:31
  broad mass and allow the fittest to separate themselves through
• 25:34
  finishing faster. And if the argument is that it
• 25:37
  was too tight at the top or it encouraged athletes to move
• 25:40
  poorly, I think it's a little bit of a that argument is a
• 25:43
  little derivative. Who knows, maybe next year
• 25:46
  you'll see more gated workouts and then, you know, we'll
• 25:48
  complain about something else or maybe everyone feels better
• 25:51
  about it. So.
• 25:52
  I don't 2023 I said it was like the greatest year they've had in
• 25:55
  like 5 years. Wasn't that the really hard
• 25:57
  quarterfinal year? That was 2121 was the pistol
• 26:02
  ropes and and like we were like. Front squat workout I.
• 26:07
  Think it was the four at Max front.
• 26:08
  Squat pistols. But it was the sixty, 5040
• 26:11
  pistol rope climb JHC workout. That's the one that.
• 26:15
  That was my first old guy year. Yeah, dude, that year wasn't
• 26:17
  that bad. Wow dude, I I love, I loved it
• 26:21
  then, but but I hear the argument.
• 26:24
  I hear the argument of like it was top 10% then it's top 25%
• 26:29
  now. If you want to say we can't be
• 26:31
  that hard, I'm fine with it, but we still need a way to separate
• 26:36
  the top people. I mean, if I was really picky, I
• 26:39
  would have liked to see 20 what year is it 26.3 as a
• 26:43
  quarterfinal workout and then have what was the first quarter
• 26:48
  final workout, the overhead squat, run, burpee, be the last
• 26:54
  open workout and then maybe you just do a thrust or more reps or
• 26:56
  something. That would have been cool that.
• 26:58
  Would have been neat. That would have hurt really bad.
• 27:02
  Yeah, I like that. I like that first quarter final
• 27:03
  workout more than I more than I thought, But I also I biased
• 27:06
  sword long workouts. So I like longer workouts.
• 27:08
  So that was if I had a complaint, that's what I would
• 27:10
  complain about because typically I'm not good at Sprint workouts
• 27:14
  did. You do that one.
• 27:17
  I did all the. Quarterfinals, that was the most
• 27:19
  painful one in my opinion. Oh, I don't know, man.
• 27:24
  Yeah, maybe it was. Yeah, that one was most painful.
• 27:26
  For me it was the most painful. Tyler Tyler was the most painful
• 27:31
  pulling the watching him pull the pulling the dumbbells back
• 27:34
  together after throwing them every Rep.
• 27:35
  God that was so funny. You stop and Rep 79.
• 27:40
  I know. I failed.
• 27:43
  I thought it was crazy. He told me his time and then
• 27:45
  whenever we watched it together I'm like dude like 8 reps to go
• 27:49
  we're at we have the same score like.
• 27:54
  Yeah, I guess I wonder with the with the, you know, hey, maybe
• 27:56
  the complaint is like one of the things I've always liked about
• 27:58
  CrossFit is like you're just test, the workout is a test.
• 28:01
  There's just a task in front of you and do it.
• 28:02
  And maybe I can accept that like, Hey, that's not
• 28:04
  appropriate for planning out like a, a, a progressive season
• 28:08
  that should like ladder up in terms of like difficulty and
• 28:11
  skill and loading. You got you guys get what I'm
• 28:13
  saying? It's hard for me sometimes
• 28:16
  because when I watch you do that workout and I'm like, God, that
• 28:19
  I, I hate the choose your own adventure workouts.
• 28:22
  Can't stand them. But then I was doing it and I
• 28:25
  was like, I don't know. I just think it's like, let have
• 28:27
  just make the test like the same for everybody.
• 28:30
  OK, whatever, Bill. Bill hates it too.
• 28:33
  Yeah, and who knows, maybe I don't have a good reason for it,
• 28:35
  but but then I did the work on, I liked it and I watched a lot
• 28:38
  of people do it and I liked it. Everyone, our gym, I wasn't
• 28:41
  going to program it. They all requested we put into
• 28:43
  the gyms programming. They all liked it.
• 28:46
  You know, I watched tower throwing dumbbells around like a
• 28:48
  toddler and, you know, tossing things out of a high chair and I
• 28:50
  was like, God, this workout's perfect.
• 28:52
  And so maybe the argument is, well, it's not perfect because
• 28:55
  guys at the top got to do so much shenanigans to get that
• 28:59
  extra edge. So you want something that's a
• 29:01
  little heavier, a little more high skill, I guess I can I can
• 29:04
  buy into that. And I'd be surprised if you
• 29:07
  don't see changes for next year. I think there's been, you know,
• 29:09
  there's always a little experimenting with the season.
• 29:11
  So yeah. That that one, I thought that
• 29:14
  one was fun. Like people don't like the
• 29:16
  choose your own adventure for some reason.
• 29:18
  I'll never understand that. But I thought that one was one
• 29:24
  where I was like you all, you all watched it, but I was
• 29:26
  challenged, like in a different way.
• 29:30
  You're to your you were challenged emotionally like he
• 29:33
  was. He was challenged as a man like.
• 29:36
  It's is there something about those dumbbell things?
• 29:38
  I just I couldn't figure them out.
• 29:41
  I think we're figuring out double dumbbell movements just
• 29:44
  aren't. You what I'm saying.
• 29:47
  Yeah, let me take something. Yeah, but I'll be right back.
• 29:49
  There you go doing a John, doing a JY.
• 29:51
  We'll. Change.
• 29:52
  We'll change topics and when you come back it'll be something
• 29:54
  different. Yeah, here we go.
• 29:58
  Yeah, real quick at Billiam Jones.
• 30:01
  I'd take Kyra watching you 2 work out over an hour over a
• 30:07
  panel trying to impose a sexuality on a married dude over
• 30:11
  T-shirt color and taste in European cars any day of the
• 30:15
  week. Who?
• 30:16
  Who are they referencing? You, you, you know who they're
• 30:19
  referencing. I appreciate you, Bill.
• 30:22
  We won't. I don't feel the need to get
• 30:24
  into that, but I appreciate you. I.
• 30:26
  I just still am confused anyway. Cars are cool depending on the
• 30:29
  ones you like. Man, he's way faster than JY at
• 30:35
  we prefer the hate. He got a, he got a little bite,
• 30:37
  he got in the oven. Jr. created a YouTube account.
• 30:41
  Yeah. How about that?
• 30:43
  Jr. did not write the Adventures for the boys, but it would be
• 30:46
  cool to know who did. Yeah.
• 30:49
  So Jr. didn't write those. Everybody thinks Jr. wrote them
• 30:51
  for some reason. Didn't one of the boys say that
• 30:53
  Jr. wrote them? Maybe the boys don't even know
• 30:56
  who wrote those. I thought.
• 30:58
  I thought he did too. I.
• 30:59
  Feel like James said that. Maybe, maybe Savon said that.
• 31:05
  I don't know. Somebody definitely said it and
• 31:07
  I like, I ran with it. I thought maybe.
• 31:11
  Somebody wrote them that wasn't Jr. but in Jr. circle and then
• 31:14
  he just gave them to. He was just the vector.
• 31:16
  I don't know. I don't know.
• 31:17
  Jr. is like tight circle. I don't know.
• 31:20
  I still want to see somebody try 1-2 and see how fast they could
• 31:23
  go. I thought James did that.
• 31:25
  No, it was like James had the ladder.
• 31:30
  Like what? Basically what Tyler would have
• 31:31
  said. Just three rounds.
• 31:35
  Yeah, that's how. Andrew did it.
• 31:37
  Andrew. Yeah, Justin did the 24.
• 31:39
  And he was slow. Yeah, Hopper did 48 I think it
• 31:43
  was and then down had the all the squat cleans at the end.
• 31:49
  I was going to redo that, like basically just front loading a
• 31:53
  little burpees or bar muscle ups and then do Hiller's method
• 31:57
  because Hiller got way faster than I did and I was like, I'm
• 32:00
  an idiot, like I can do what he did.
• 32:04
  Did he wear he wore a belt for that too, right?
• 32:06
  Yeah. It's interesting.
• 32:08
  I want to try that 40 and 80 just straight up.
• 32:12
  I had a buddy. Dude I started with 24 cleans.
• 32:17
  I had a buddy in Auburn, AL that did it straight up.
• 32:19
  He just did 40 and 80. How long it take him?
• 32:22
  Did he finish? He was, it was like 11 minutes
• 32:25
  or something. That's dude, he might have been
• 32:28
  he might have been like sub nine then if he did it.
• 32:30
  He. Would have broke 5 pairs of
• 32:32
  dumbbells if you did it that. Way he would.
• 32:37
  Have yeah. Do you remember when Rory
• 32:39
  Mckernan had like that big kettlebell?
• 32:41
  It was like the 100 pounder and he dropped it and it broke the
• 32:43
  handle off. It was like an old video out
• 32:47
  there that would have been Tyler just.
• 32:50
  I'm really like generally in the gym, I'm really good about the
• 32:53
  whole don't drop the dumbbells thing that that goes out the
• 32:56
  window during I've. Only seen you drop the dumbbells
• 33:00
  like a ridiculous amount. Of things, John, did you miss
• 33:04
  Count that workout? A lot of people in the comments,
• 33:07
  yeah, yeah. So like the first time I did it,
• 33:09
  my judge said I was done and I had one more squat clean left
• 33:13
  and so I had to redo it. Thank you, Mr. Judge.
• 33:16
  Yeah, ruined an hour of my time checking and double checking.
• 33:21
  No. Since video it was actually,
• 33:23
  yeah. Yeah.
• 33:25
  So I. It's it's fine.
• 33:26
  I redid it and I was faster so I'm glad.
• 33:29
  My conspiracy theory is that like, no one's ever done an RX
• 33:31
  workout unless it's been like judged.
• 33:34
  Define. Like you're in your like how
• 33:37
  many workouts you do in a year that people don't really judge?
• 33:41
  A million, Let's just say, yeah, a million.
• 33:43
  There you go, you do a million. How many of those do you think
• 33:45
  you've hit every single Rep range of motion 86?
• 33:50
  Give me a percent. You give yourself an 86%.
• 33:53
  Absolutely. I would say I would say most of.
• 33:56
  The time, unless there's double unders, I cannot.
• 33:58
  Count. No, I mean, I'm seriously, I
• 34:01
  mean, I think 70%. I I, yeah, I think it's probably
• 34:07
  like a 6070%. I think is is probably like a
• 34:09
  good. You guys are a bunch of
• 34:11
  cheaters. No, but like I'm, I'm thinking
• 34:14
  like if I'm in a race with somebody at the end, like you're
• 34:17
  trying to, you know, yeah. You're ending a Rep early.
• 34:19
  We already know that like we. No, not a Rep early, no, but
• 34:22
  you're shortening the range of motion like that.
• 34:24
  Stuff happens all the time, but you're in a race.
• 34:27
  Like, yeah, I guarantee somebody misses a wall ball and it's like
• 34:30
  an inch short. You're like, cool.
• 34:32
  Wall balls are. A big one or like a toe's the
• 34:35
  bar. You just like one toe touches,
• 34:36
  the other one just barely misses.
• 34:38
  You're like that counts. Yeah, no, stuff like that for
• 34:42
  sure. I mean, I've had wall balls
• 34:44
  where like they didn't hit the thing, but it was high enough.
• 34:47
  Just air ball that strict. Oh yeah, Oh yeah.
• 34:50
  And and I'm like 100% like I'm not, I'm not no Rep.
• 34:54
  Oh yeah, you know, like regular training.
• 34:56
  We're just working out. Like it's not, this isn't.
• 34:59
  But I've never been mad if I got no Rep in a, you know what I
• 35:04
  mean? Competition or open or.
• 35:06
  Whatever. That happens.
• 35:08
  I've never I watched you get no Rep in the.
• 35:10
  Open. No, no, no, I said.
• 35:11
  I've never been mad. If I get no reps for something
• 35:14
  like that, like then, then I need to be better, right?
• 35:18
  But if you're in the middle of a class workout or something.
• 35:21
  What do you think, Hobart? Do you think John's reps counted
• 35:25
  in the dumbbell? What did he?
• 35:28
  Was he one of the drop early guys?
• 35:30
  Little, little, little. No, they were saying I wasn't
• 35:32
  locking out. If you don't remember.
• 35:35
  Oh no, I don't. I don't.
• 35:36
  I didn't watch your bar. I didn't want to watch you do a
• 35:37
  bar muscle up. I just watched the I just
• 35:39
  watched the end with the meltdown.
• 35:41
  People are people are ridiculous.
• 35:43
  Like the camera. Yeah, yeah.
• 35:48
  I mean, I don't know why they're giving you a hard time about
• 35:50
  muscle UPS, man. You you.
• 35:52
  I know. 200 that you did dude. It's so 95195 muscle up again.
• 35:58
  People. People are the keyboard warriors
• 36:01
  James on me are are insane. It's.
• 36:04
  It's a good thing, man. You want you want you want
• 36:06
  haters. That's it's good that they pay
• 36:07
  so much attention to your life. It's it's flattering.
• 36:10
  I. Well, I think they're all
• 36:12
  ridiculous, but. Yeah, we still got 2.
• 36:16
  Two more viewer comments. Here we go at Boss Man
• 36:20
  Australia. I'm really sick of Max clean and
• 36:23
  jerk or Max snatch. The 1st 20 times it was
• 36:26
  exciting, but not so much anymore, at least for me.
• 36:29
  How about a Max snatch balance or squat jerk or properly heavy
• 36:33
  farmer's walk or kettlebell for height like the strongman do?
• 36:38
  Those are good. Idea.
• 36:39
  Very specific things. I think this guy's really good.
• 36:42
  At a strongman, yeah. But to his to play his point, I
• 36:48
  agree. I think the the tossing the
• 36:51
  sandbag over for height would be really really fun.
• 36:56
  Oh yeah, I know what you're talking about.
• 36:58
  Yeah, yeah, like a a they do K like a K for strongman.
• 37:01
  Yeah, but like a handle of a sandbag.
• 37:03
  And if the height just gets taller, I think it would be
• 37:07
  really really fun to do something like.
• 37:08
  That Dave would need to take a picture of that and leave some
• 37:12
  ominous comments that all the gyms could buy those now in
• 37:15
  preparation for next year. Rogue has those like those like
• 37:19
  fabric kettle bells you could do.
• 37:22
  Yeah, the bags are cool. Were you at CrossFit Reebok
• 37:25
  CrossFit One when the dumbbells came out in 17?
• 37:29
  Yeah. Was that you guys probably had
• 37:33
  more than enough dumbbells. Oh yeah, that place, it was
• 37:37
  like, like dripping with equipment.
• 37:38
  Yeah, it was kooky. Yeah, OK.
• 37:40
  Yeah, I. Just we had like 25 GHDS.
• 37:43
  It was outrageous. That gym was outrageous.
• 37:47
  It was the best man. I so to to his question.
• 37:53
  I think there are more creative ways that you can test strength.
• 37:57
  It doesn't have to be a Max cleaner jerk or a Max snatch,
• 38:00
  but. Maybe a bench?
• 38:01
  I also think that there should be like testing strength in the
• 38:05
  Olympic lifts should be a part. If we're talking like the
• 38:08
  CrossFit Games, it should be a part of it.
• 38:10
  So if you had like 20 calabyte 5 snatch at 22520 calabyte, 4
• 38:18
  snatch, 20 calabyte 3 snatch and it ended on one snatch at 275
• 38:22
  and that's the workout like that is a way of testing snatch
• 38:26
  Olympic strength and within a workout like if you like a top
• 38:31
  end strength, if it ended at 275, I think that's plenty heavy
• 38:33
  enough and it doesn't need to be just a Max snatch or a Max clean
• 38:37
  and jerk. That's an easy way to do it.
• 38:40
  And then, yeah, have something creative like like the strongman
• 38:44
  bag thing. I mean the the the sandbag lift
• 38:48
  from 23 was. No, it was fun.
• 38:51
  Right. Like doing something different.
• 38:55
  I think is is probably preferred at this point versus seeing the
• 38:59
  same Olympic lift as being that as a one Rep Max.
• 39:03
  I, I agree, have. A second thing like the yoke
• 39:05
  walk would be cool, like a 50 foot 100 foot.
• 39:07
  I just don't know if that would tax them.
• 39:09
  That would just tune them up too much.
• 39:11
  I know, I don't know if people might get hurt doing that.
• 39:13
  A Max. But it's so cool though.
• 39:15
  If you're going to test. If you're going to test, go
• 39:18
  ahead, Tyler. A Max lift.
• 39:22
  What do you think the appropriate like Rep range in
• 39:24
  quarterfinals is? Well, let's just go, let's just
• 39:31
  go with an exam like let's just go with clean a shirt.
• 39:33
  Do you think A1 Rep Max is is appropriate in in the
• 39:35
  quarterfinals? I don't think so.
• 39:38
  I don't I'm not a fan of Max's in online.
• 39:42
  I think online skews a Max skews online too much.
• 39:46
  But I do think there needs to be a gated strength wrap work out
• 39:49
  of some sorts. Oh yeah, we know that.
• 39:51
  Yeah. Don't we know that for sure?
• 39:55
  I'm trying to be on your team, James.
• 39:57
  I don't feel like you're not. I don't.
• 39:58
  Oh, I don't. I don't feel like we're you're
• 40:00
  not on my team. But I mean, this kind of like is
• 40:04
  I never really thought about it, but we'd have like the shuttle
• 40:07
  runs now that seem to be keep popping up.
• 40:09
  But like, when are we going to see like just farmers walk, like
• 40:12
  a farmers carry shuttle run like that?
• 40:14
  Would be cool just. Carry dumbbells back and forth
• 40:17
  like do 10 shuttle back and forth with hate that other
• 40:21
  stuff. Yeah, that would be cool.
• 40:23
  I think. I do think some sort of carry in
• 40:24
  the earlier stages would be really nice 'cause it's it's
• 40:27
  tested the game so often. I do think it's an area of
• 40:30
  fitness where I don't know it's. One of the most base.
• 40:34
  It's probably the most basic. That's what I'm trying to say.
• 40:37
  You could do a sandbag carry, I think £100 sandbag a hundred 150
• 40:40
  lbs. I'm just thinking about
• 40:41
  equipment for affiliates. But yeah, I think the weight,
• 40:43
  yeah, the 100 LB weight range is right.
• 40:45
  But yeah, like a dumbbell carry, kettlebell carry would be really
• 40:47
  cool for that reason, like the basic fitness application of it.
• 40:52
  Like anyone could do it. Some people might be really
• 40:54
  slow. Yeah, you get, you get pair.
• 40:57
  It with something else that's rippy.
• 40:58
  Toast bar dude. Pharmacare and Toast Bar would
• 41:01
  RIP people apart. You get some guy like Ben
• 41:03
  Smith's dad in there just beating everybody.
• 41:06
  Yeah, like some just like this. Imagine that's when like the
• 41:09
  6050 year old dudes just crush everybody and that they
• 41:12
  actually. Just they can hang on to
• 41:13
  anything, yeah. Their their hands can't
• 41:16
  straighten out from the other right.
• 41:18
  No, I'm just kidding. Much.
• 41:20
  Respect The very first time I like with the our gym bought a
• 41:25
  yolk and I was like oh sick we have a yolk now and I was like
• 41:28
  let's just like Max it out for 50 feet.
• 41:31
  I don't know why I thought that was a good idea and I ended up
• 41:34
  doing like 760 and I broke one of my ribs doing it and then I.
• 41:39
  Was yeah, that was one of my goals was to get up to an over
• 41:41
  £700.50 foot yolk walk. Speaking of.
• 41:45
  Me up, I was out for like 3 weeks doing anything.
• 41:50
  Oh my gosh. The heaviest thing you can move
• 41:53
  man. You should try to get to 1000
• 41:55
  lbs. I bet you could do 1000 LB yo.
• 41:56
  Dude the way that no I never went over 500 after doing that
• 42:00
  ever again. Thorax has to be pretty thick to
• 42:03
  do that. We got some more breaking news
• 42:05
  on Syndicate Crown filled up here.
• 42:10
  Invites are out individual invites have been sent athletes
• 42:14
  the first round 48 hours to accept your invite so if.
• 42:20
  I go ahead and do that. Check your e-mail address that
• 42:22
  was used to register for the CrossFit quarterfinals.
• 42:26
  That's where it is and go head over and accept via Competition
• 42:31
  Corner. Check John, we'll.
• 42:33
  Start seeing. Yeah, check it 19130, right?
• 42:39
  Dude, 1460, come on. You.
• 42:43
  Shorted me like 500 peoples man. That's close enough.
• 42:47
  So yeah, there we go. That one guy looks a lot like
• 42:53
  Oh, nevermind. Last comment real quick, and
• 42:56
  then we'll get James out of here and then we can start talking
• 42:59
  bad about CrossFit at Kathy Stan.
• 43:02
  Hey fellas, can you tell Kyra that she absolutely must come to
• 43:06
  Oz for Torian? She has lots of fans in
• 43:08
  Australia. She's going.
• 43:12
  Maybe. Maybe.
• 43:13
  Did you see everybody complaining?
• 43:15
  Explaining. About what?
• 43:17
  All the American, non Australians and New Zealanders
• 43:20
  getting into Torian Pro. Sorry, I'm not, I'm not.
• 43:28
  So there's a there's a political irony there that's good.
• 43:30
  I'm not. Won't bring it up but.
• 43:32
  Who's complaining about that? Australians.
• 43:36
  Australians are the John Cameron guys.
• 43:39
  Are you talking about? No, not John Cameron.
• 43:40
  Cameron Gray. Yeah.
• 43:43
  That's Oh yeah, that guy Israel was pretty good his.
• 43:46
  Real was good, his real was good.
• 43:47
  But yeah, that's yeah. There's also Luke Dejong.
• 43:55
  I've blocked all Americans from this story.
• 43:57
  Somehow I got it. Let's start sharing some
• 44:00
  propaganda about Brisbane so my homies can get a Torian spot
• 44:03
  drop. Bear attacks, kangaroo home
• 44:05
  invasions, mud shark sightings, Snakes per boot just increased.
• 44:10
  So yeah. That's funny because I I I saw
• 44:16
  the last is like a the last Masters comp is down in Columbia
• 44:20
  I think. Yeah, the lat AM.
• 44:22
  Yeah. And I was like, man, it'd be so
• 44:24
  cool to get an invite to that, just to be able to go down there
• 44:28
  and work out. But I think it's for only people
• 44:31
  in Latin America. I think no, I don't think so.
• 44:34
  I think it's open. Oh, shut up.
• 44:36
  Really. I heard Jamie Latimer say that
• 44:38
  she declined because she wasn't sure if she's going to be ready
• 44:40
  for. Her Check your e-mail, James.
• 44:43
  Come on, hit me up Columbia. Let's go.
• 44:46
  Little vacation with the wifey. Yeah, that'd be a good go,
• 44:50
  straight from Knoxville down to the Latin Masters.
• 44:54
  That'd be awesome. How many?
• 44:56
  Days ago was it? This is a This isn't sort of
• 44:59
  relevant. How many days ago was it that I
• 45:02
  text you guys about South Korea? I don't know you, Texas, North
• 45:07
  Korea, like every three days. No, I don't the, it's, it's like
• 45:11
  a, a situation I'm watching this stuff I find pretty interesting.
• 45:15
  So like I think it was like two or three weeks ago or South
• 45:18
  Korea had like they were releasing their oil reserves
• 45:21
  given the situation we're in. And I was like, how's that going
• 45:24
  to impact 'cause it was like, right.
• 45:26
  I think it was like right before what's the competition?
• 45:31
  Far East go down. Far East that it was.
• 45:33
  They were like hypothetically run out of oil reserves.
• 45:36
  And I was like, I wonder how that's going to impact their
• 45:40
  competition. Totally fine it'll.
• 45:42
  Be fine. There you go.
• 45:44
  How's. It going Colombia?
• 45:46
  Yeah, I think it's like an invite.
• 45:48
  Well, James, I, I appreciate you jumping on.
• 45:51
  Looking forward to having you on the broadcast.
• 45:54
  Dude, I'm excited. Now so.
• 45:57
  I'm I'm honored and pumped. It's going to shout over John
• 46:00
  all weekend. That's.
• 46:02
  What it takes we're. Going to get matching, matching
• 46:05
  beaters that we're going to wear.
• 46:06
  We can. We can do it dude.
• 46:08
  We're not doing that. I don't even drink.
• 46:11
  I don't do, I don't drink dare. I don't drink milk, but I'm just
• 46:13
  going to drink milk. Just just let it RIP just to be
• 46:15
  like with you, you know? Just be with you, We might as
• 46:20
  well wear a beanie as well and just do the full thing.
• 46:23
  Yeah, man, that hotel room is going to be a massacre.
• 46:26
  It's going to be awesome. I for real though, I'm, I'm
• 46:28
  super psyched to get back on it, start studying, see the event
• 46:31
  down there, heard lots of good things about it and appreciate
• 46:33
  you guys. That it wasn't a joke though.
• 46:36
  Tyler had me good like I was. I was like, well, you know, all
• 46:39
  right, it's probably more proud of you guys.
• 46:41
  James, you want me to bring one of these and you can try it on
• 46:44
  site. Hell yeah, done.
• 46:45
  I'll do it. Well.
• 46:47
  I told you, I don't know if you, I think I said this on the
• 46:49
  Glinton's podcast is we should have a challenge and the the
• 46:53
  penalty is to run a 400 with that thing.
• 46:56
  Squeeze between, between your cheeks.
• 46:59
  Yeah. You get somebody to agree to
• 47:01
  that challenge. I I'm all in favor of watching
• 47:04
  you guys. Do a little bit totally.
• 47:06
  Fine. Yeah, man, Bring that thing.
• 47:07
  I will. I'll bring some.
• 47:08
  I'm gonna bring some ammonia. So we can.
• 47:09
  I got two of them. I got 2 of them.
• 47:11
  Had to sniff the ammonia and then put it between your cheeks.
• 47:14
  And just eat it. Yeah, I'll eat it.
• 47:16
  Let's do it. Thank you guys so much.
• 47:19
  Yeah, man. Thanks, James.
• 47:20
  I appreciate it. See you soon.
• 47:22
  There we go. There we go, Mr. Hobart.
• 47:28
  Do we should do a whole bunch of like challenges and just kind of
• 47:31
  like document it all? While we're there.
• 47:36
  Yeah. Do we just have like fun little
• 47:37
  challenges every day before and after or something?
• 47:40
  Down. Surviving Syndicate and like, we
• 47:45
  just make it really hard, make it really bad, you know what I
• 47:49
  mean? Like one of us has to do
• 47:51
  something really bad. Like before and after Syndicate,
• 47:53
  we just, why don't you do your bad thing though?
• 47:55
  Like you're, you're, you're done, you know what I mean?
• 47:58
  And it's just all of us end up doing something.
• 48:00
  I think some C4 flavors would go decently with milk like that
• 48:04
  sounds. Disgusting.
• 48:05
  I don't, I don't. I don't mix my stuff like that.
• 48:07
  Be like some cereal. They have a cereal, a flavored
• 48:10
  1. The Skittles 1.
• 48:11
  Skittles and milk classic combo. Yeah, yeah.
• 48:16
  Who was that Australian guy? What was his name?
• 48:19
  Again, Cameron Gray. That's right.
• 48:22
  Let's. Go pull his up.
• 48:23
  Though he was like kind of whining.
• 48:25
  I agree completely. He's making some solid points.
• 48:28
  He's making some decent points. The the Australian thing is very
• 48:32
  like specific to him, but but he, I don't feel like he harped
• 48:36
  on that. I feel like he just said it.
• 48:40
  Here we go. Fine for the Torian pro.
• 48:43
  Damn, I wasn't even close. I can't believe you got less fit
• 48:46
  after two years of training. No, I'm way fitter now in pretty
• 48:49
  much every aspect. What did you rank?
• 48:52
  I placed 40th in Oceana. Well there's only 30 spots now
• 48:55
  and they were open to international competitors.
• 48:57
  So only 20 Oceana athletes actually qualified and I was
• 49:00
  40th. I guess you didn't improve that
• 49:02
  much then. Haven't you been training heavy
• 49:04
  lifts, high skilled gymnastics, and volume capacity?
• 49:07
  I've been specifically training for all of that, but we were
• 49:10
  tested on open style body weight sprints.
• 49:13
  There was 0 heavy lifting, challenging gymnastics or
• 49:16
  meaningful volume. But didn't you at least gain
• 49:18
  some places after other athletes had given penalties for no reps?
• 49:22
  I tried really hard to have clean reps, but there was no
• 49:25
  video review process so nobody above me was given penalties for
• 49:28
  poor repetitions or even checked to see if they submitted an
• 49:31
  honest score. Why just qualify for the?
• 49:35
  That's actually not true. Somebody who was penalized ahead
• 49:39
  of him. And an Australian.
• 49:42
  And it was an. Australian.
• 49:44
  What's the dunch? There it is on the CrossFit
• 49:52
  quarterfinals leaderboard. Jay Crouch is not your
• 49:54
  quarterfinal champion. He is now down in 38th place.
• 49:59
  He is 200 and 84th on the event. 1 So, John, you beat him, right?
• 50:08
  He beat me by one second. Really.
• 50:10
  Yeah, that's crazy. Damn.
• 50:13
  Oh no, dude, he beat me like a minute and one second.
• 50:16
  Yeah, yeah, I wasn't 646. I was going to give it to.
• 50:20
  You my my fault. I was like, I didn't have a
• 50:22
  score that high. So yeah, Jay Crouch is no longer
• 50:28
  the CrossFit quarterfinal champion.
• 50:30
  He does not win $5000. That award now goes to.
• 50:35
  Oh boy, John. Is he back?
• 50:40
  Austin Hatfield, Jeff Adler, Saxon Panchick, Spencer Panchick
• 50:44
  and Yonokoski are your top five now.
• 50:46
  Talk about a shit 26.1 looked terrible and then comes out and
• 50:52
  wins quarterfinals. Wild.
• 50:53
  Yeah, got absolutely thrashed. What's what's crazy is Colton
• 50:58
  dropped from Tide for 7th, now he stays 7th and Noah moves up
• 51:02
  because Colton had won event 1, Jay was behind him so didn't get
• 51:10
  a point, Noah got a point and so Noah moves up a point and takes
• 51:14
  6th on his own. Bogus.
• 51:20
  What I had heard prior to that was basically nobody outside the
• 51:26
  top five. I'm sure Leona did at this point
• 51:29
  had gotten a video review, but nobody outside the top five.
• 51:31
  Even if you were top five in an event, we're not getting your
• 51:36
  videos reviewed. But that's crazy.
• 51:38
  They have to review Austin now, right, Because he's got a 10th.
• 51:41
  No, they. Reviewed all top five.
• 51:43
  Oh, just. But like if you were let's say
• 51:48
  Tudor, I doubt his 7th place deadlift.
• 51:51
  Granted it was on, it was live streamed, but like who?
• 51:56
  Else down here 7th. Like a Ben Fowler, 6th, right?
• 52:01
  He's 15th overall. I don't think he got a video
• 52:04
  reviewed in fourth, you know, for Event 4.
• 52:07
  That sucks. I you have to go all the way to
• 52:09
  9th to find somebody that was on the podium last year.
• 52:17
  That is true. And then you don't.
• 52:21
  You don't. You don't, sure.
• 52:23
  But then you don't find anybody that's on the podium until you
• 52:26
  Scroll down. You keep scrolling, keep going.
• 52:32
  8, No, 19th, 19th place. That's how far you have to go
• 52:36
  down to find somebody on the podium.
• 52:37
  It's not bad, it's not bad. It's a worldwide competition.
• 52:44
  Fabian Benito is not the 13th fittest man in the world.
• 52:47
  Says who? Me and I have authority.
• 52:54
  He had the 13th best score in quarterfinals.
• 52:58
  Fake. Yeah.
• 53:01
  So that that is it. I don't think there's any
• 53:02
  adjustments on the women's side. Yet.
• 53:05
  Well, where are we going yet? I would think we send the kids
• 53:12
  sending out. Oh, let's.
• 53:16
  Get that Jay Crouch on there. There we go.
• 53:18
  Women's side top five has not changed.
• 53:20
  I would assume that they're probably done, but they're done.
• 53:24
  That's crazy. Should that have taken a whole
• 53:29
  week and 1/2? Yes.
• 53:30
  To figure out if you want to penalize Jay.
• 53:33
  For what, 20 videos? Do we really want to make 40?
• 53:37
  Head high right now. Maybe that's what they're.
• 53:40
  Oh yeah, 40. Yeah, 20 men, 20 women, 40
• 53:43
  videos. We could have done that in 24
• 53:45
  hours or less. We could have done that in one
• 53:48
  hour. We should do that for
• 53:51
  semifinals, the online semifinals, last chance, top
• 53:54
  seven spots. We should do it.
• 53:56
  You're right, you're right. Yeah, we no, no, we don't do it
• 53:58
  24 hours, but we could do the top doing it.
• 54:00
  We could do the top 20 scores, 48.
• 54:03
  No, no, no, we could. I'm saying we can do the top 20
• 54:05
  scores and literally just watch them all.
• 54:08
  How long is this going to take, John?
• 54:10
  Five hours. Not a chance.
• 54:15
  I mean, we can do the math. So let's see 12/13/17 and then
• 54:23
  10 minutes is 27. Half an hour per person and
• 54:26
  that's that. Doesn't count all their intros
• 54:29
  and crap. And I don't.
• 54:30
  I don't care about their intros. I know who freaking Kyra
• 54:32
  Milligan is. You got a check.
• 54:36
  It's part of the rules. So.
• 54:37
  Got to show your ID and everything to make sure that
• 54:39
  matches listen you want. Me to make you want me to get
• 54:41
  this done in a timely manner or do you want me to just like
• 54:45
  precision? You all do it right.
• 54:46
  Do it 30 minutes times 20 people, 600 minutes times 24
• 54:56
  minutes. It's 1200 minutes.
• 54:59
  Yeah, we could do it in 24. Hours I I know you're not a guy
• 55:02
  about the logistics of the, you know, the competitions, John,
• 55:05
  but I'll watch those parts and you can you can help with the
• 55:08
  reps. That's fair.
• 55:09
  We can have people watch different stuff at the same
• 55:12
  time. That's.
• 55:13
  Right, we'll just hand it over. No, you got a live stream?
• 55:15
  What We're watching, it's a live stream of.
• 55:18
  Do whatever he does and then come back can.
• 55:21
  You imagine like if we watch one, we see no reps and how many
• 55:23
  people would watch and they all just go hit like needs review,
• 55:27
  needs review. Yeah, that'll be good.
• 55:29
  Dude, I'm game. If you guys are game, we'll do
• 55:32
  it in shifts. No.
• 55:34
  Don't all that doesn't count. 48 hours.
• 55:37
  Just not sleep. Yeah, I don't know.
• 55:40
  Depth starts looking a lot higher.
• 55:44
  Sleep, sleep, sleep to. Start finding a lot less
• 55:48
  problems as we go. Yeah, I think we should start at
• 55:52
  20 then and then work our way up instead of the other way.
• 55:55
  The other way we. Can take bets on when we'll find
• 55:58
  our next no Rep. Sure.
• 56:01
  Yeah, I mean, now I guess with Syndicate putting theirs out,
• 56:06
  Legends putting theirs out, I guess the final leaderboard's
• 56:10
  final, I don't know. Or at least close enough to be
• 56:13
  final. What do you think of the whole
• 56:18
  invite process going on right now between Legends, Magic City,
• 56:24
  Syndicate? You've got Norcal just throwing
• 56:26
  out invites to whoever wants it, I guess.
• 56:28
  I don't know how they're working it.
• 56:31
  What are your thoughts there, Tyler?
• 56:32
  It's tough because like you need, it's like with the, the
• 56:37
  leaderboard, right. So if you review somebody and
• 56:42
  they got no reps like Jay and he drops the 248th and then you
• 56:45
  have to go to the next person and then somebody's got like a
• 56:47
  500th place score, you have to review them.
• 56:49
  If they move, it creates this cascading effect, right?
• 56:54
  And so similar with that, you like there should be some
• 57:00
  logistical oversight that CrossFit.
• 57:02
  I could see why they didn't do it.
• 57:04
  It's like, here's your semi final, you know, to invite how
• 57:08
  you want to invite, send out all that stuff, however you want to
• 57:11
  do it. But then you have this conflict
• 57:13
  between Magic City and Legends and people are waiting and no
• 57:19
  one ever stepped back and thought, oh, that's going to
• 57:21
  create a situation where the athletes are going to be like.
• 57:24
  They have to wait. No one like if you don't know
• 57:27
  if, because I saw somebody post that they were going to be they
• 57:30
  were close to Del Mar, but but they got their invite to Magic
• 57:34
  City and they were hoping they're going to get an invite
• 57:36
  to legends and it's like. And so it's like, will it make
• 57:42
  that much of a difference? I mean for Legends it might
• 57:45
  because like they got to do a lot of work really fast to fill
• 57:47
  out their stuff. Right.
• 57:48
  I think it was a bad idea to wait on quarterfinals.
• 57:52
  I've heard I've heard legends like if you emailed them and be
• 57:55
  like hey I'm in the top 2000 can I have a spot there?
• 57:59
  Top 2000. There because you have to do
• 58:01
  that for the to make semi quarterfinals.
• 58:03
  Yeah, yeah, yeah. And like they are just if you DM
• 58:06
  them they might give you a spot. Like it's more intense so that
• 58:10
  they could go get contact you sooner than later, no?
• 58:14
  No, no, no, I'm not talking about Morecal.
• 58:15
  I'm saying like right now, like they're in a rush to fill their
• 58:18
  spots and they're not John dude, dude.
• 58:22
  So like I actually I thought about that, but I'm either
• 58:26
  careful. Somebody might think you're
• 58:27
  serious right now. I'm I'm missing crash?
• 58:31
  If I can't do. That if I do Delmar.
• 58:33
  Never mind, you can't do that. Right.
• 58:35
  And I don't want to right and then.
• 58:37
  I won't. I won't let you.
• 58:39
  Syndicate said no, but it's still out there.
• 58:42
  It's still it's if you would like the invitation's out there.
• 58:45
  I want to jump at the chance at leaving Spin and Tyler out to
• 58:49
  dry. I just went I I am wanting to
• 58:53
  backstab them so badly. So Syndicate.
• 58:57
  You want to give me the first? Wouldn't be the last, I mean,
• 58:59
  yeah. Yeah, yeah.
• 59:01
  So if you want to, if you want to give me an invite, that's
• 59:03
  what I'm trying to do. And I think they're in favor for
• 59:06
  it. Aren't are you guys here in
• 59:07
  favor? I enjoy being backstabbed.
• 59:09
  Yeah, yeah, for sure. It's actually front stabbed
• 59:12
  because I'm telling you, right? But we're still going to be
• 59:15
  shocked when it happens the. I would be.
• 59:18
  Shocked in a good way. Y'all would be so happy about
• 59:21
  it. No, you'll tell me that you
• 59:22
  wouldn't be. But.
• 59:23
  Shocked but happy. Yeah, we, we figured it out.
• 59:26
  It'd be a blast, but anyway, whatever.
• 59:29
  Six men, six men. They have 20 spots to do.
• 59:34
  He's. 16 days until the start of it.
• 59:40
  Those are a pretty good six men, too.
• 59:43
  Well, EJ, yeah. The outlier though is EJ was
• 59:46
  like. 4. 140. Pound EJ commented on the the
• 59:51
  post where they're like, hey, drop us Adm if you're interested
• 59:54
  or something. And I think, you know, I think
• 59:56
  he took advantage of it and got that invite.
• 59:58
  Good for you, EJ. He was like top 30 in the in the
• 1:00:01
  quarterfinals, so. You think he saw these names?
• 1:00:03
  He was just like. Let's go.
• 1:00:06
  I didn't. I didn't think that was how it
• 1:00:07
  was going to be like. Those have been invited for a
• 1:00:11
  while, so. Only three go out of this group,
• 1:00:14
  right? No 22.
• 1:00:18
  Dude, syndicate baby. Come on, Justin.
• 1:00:23
  I mean, I, I have to imagine that those guys are rooting for
• 1:00:26
  Roman to qualify out of Mahis, out of Mayhem, so that it
• 1:00:31
  doesn't like, that's just one less person you have to worry
• 1:00:33
  about. Dude, Roman is hurting if he
• 1:00:36
  doesn't make it out of Mayhem. And then you have this and.
• 1:00:39
  Then he can go to French Throwdown a couple weeks later
• 1:00:41
  and then he can come to Syndicate.
• 1:00:44
  Doing the old Luke circuit. He'll make it out of French
• 1:00:47
  Throwdown, but I'm just saying he's he's hurting if he's doing
• 1:00:51
  that. I just, I just went through
• 1:00:52
  this. There's not a good time.
• 1:00:54
  There's not a good time. It's syndicate or bust, maybe.
• 1:01:00
  Copasur so like I don't think in the end this is going to cause
• 1:01:03
  that much like too bad issues, but it just looks bad.
• 1:01:11
  I mean, how do you, I don't know what time it takes to get like
• 1:01:14
  the little like name card placards or anything like that
• 1:01:18
  or if they had any plans for that, But that's a problem.
• 1:01:22
  Like that was your, you know, like hey printer, I have a week
• 1:01:26
  and 1/2 for you to make these things. 200 elite women.
• 1:01:30
  Yeah, these are some stacked lineups, dude.
• 1:01:33
  What is going on? Whoa.
• 1:01:35
  Oh no. You're a bot.
• 1:01:37
  Definitely. This, this lineup is everybody's
• 1:01:42
  going to syndicate or not syndicate.
• 1:01:45
  Mayhem, Mayhem, Mayhem Kyra. Lex, I don't know about that.
• 1:01:48
  Lydia. Calm down, John.
• 1:01:50
  That's I, don't I. Wouldn't it's stacked?
• 1:01:52
  On the women's side, I'm. Just saying all the names
• 1:01:56
  haven't been filled out. I'm like this is this is the
• 1:01:58
  start. I don't.
• 1:02:00
  I don't think you're going to see any of the top 20 names
• 1:02:05
  added to this list going forward.
• 1:02:08
  OK, OK. I, I think the problem is, I
• 1:02:11
  think if you were running this competition and you know that
• 1:02:15
  the leaderboard's going to get finalized 2 weeks before your
• 1:02:19
  competition, you have to use the Open.
• 1:02:22
  Like I don't think you can use wait until quarterfinals because
• 1:02:25
  now you have two weeks to send out invites.
• 1:02:30
  As an athlete, you have to now accept it, book travel, like do
• 1:02:34
  all that stuff to get ready. You may not be like, it's a lot
• 1:02:37
  of logistical stuff to go deal with and compete and like they
• 1:02:40
  don't show up on Friday, they're showing up on Wednesday
• 1:02:43
  probably. It's like there's not a lot of
• 1:02:46
  time and you start going through the list of, especially as you
• 1:02:50
  get to the older groups. I know there's only like 15
• 1:02:53
  athletes that are supposed to be in each, but two women 60 to 64.
• 1:02:59
  Shout out April Watkins. Mike Navarre is the only dude in
• 1:03:03
  the 60 to 65 division. Let's see, but Denise Moore
• 1:03:09
  looks like she's got that 65 to 69 wrapped up and Terry Carey,
• 1:03:13
  Terry Carey's got elite women 70 plus on lockdown right now.
• 1:03:18
  So invites have been sent several hours ago and I've we've
• 1:03:23
  had zero sign up in the last on the elite side and not many on
• 1:03:30
  the masters side. And then you got Magic City
• 1:03:36
  games. Theirs is locked down.
• 1:03:38
  We don't know. You've got Norcal asking for if
• 1:03:41
  you're in the top 200 of quarterfinals if you want to
• 1:03:44
  compete there. They'll send out invites.
• 1:03:46
  I've only seen a handful except those I don't know.
• 1:03:54
  You don't. You don't think they'll fill up?
• 1:03:57
  I mean, I think Norcal, well, you got plenty of time to go
• 1:03:59
  find, but between Magic City games and Legends Magic City
• 1:04:05
  games the weekend after. So it's the May 1st or 3rd I
• 1:04:10
  believe, and the age group semifinals, the online pieces
• 1:04:16
  the weekend after Magic City games.
• 1:04:20
  So if you're debating in between trying to compete in person at
• 1:04:26
  Magic City or online? Probably pick online.
• 1:04:32
  I mean, there's more spots available, but I don't know who
• 1:04:35
  you're competing against if you do in person because other
• 1:04:38
  people that may be thinking they have a chance online to say I'm
• 1:04:42
  just going to go online instead of in person.
• 1:04:44
  It's a game of chicken. And why could you not do both?
• 1:04:47
  You can sign up for both, but then you have to book.
• 1:04:49
  I don't think if you're 60, yeah, I don't know if you're 65
• 1:04:51
  years old, if you want to be doing a full competition and
• 1:04:54
  then travel home and then have to do a full online competition.
• 1:04:57
  Just stay in Birmingham bro. 66 year old.
• 1:05:00
  People, I'm just saying like, you know, as you get older, I
• 1:05:02
  don't know, the recovery on 2 back-to-back weekend
• 1:05:05
  competitions is your probably your best move when you're
• 1:05:08
  competing, when you're competing against others that haven't done
• 1:05:10
  it, Like they literally can rest the last you know, or you know,
• 1:05:14
  prep for it the last two weeks and you're sitting there in comp
• 1:05:16
  mode. I plan on going to Magic City.
• 1:05:22
  There you go. I have an athlete that's
• 1:05:24
  competing there. Who?
• 1:05:27
  The winner, the winner, the winner.
• 1:05:29
  OK. I'm serious.
• 1:05:31
  I'm so serious. Like I think I think like we're,
• 1:05:35
  we have a chance to win that. 'D be exciting, I've got a lot
• 1:05:39
  of travel coming up. Dude, you we haven't even talked
• 1:05:43
  about like grid stuff. Like, yeah, it's really bad.
• 1:05:47
  Bronze or John's a hot commodity?
• 1:05:49
  Magic City and then crash and then grid and then something or
• 1:05:54
  maybe nothing and then grid and then Syndicate.
• 1:05:58
  You got Zenom in a few weeks. Then Zenom.
• 1:06:01
  Zenom still. Waiting on that invite.
• 1:06:02
  You got grid and then you got Zenom again.
• 1:06:04
  Yeah, yeah, another grid than Zenom.
• 1:06:07
  That's what I'm saying. I'm not, I'm not a training for.
• 1:06:10
  Zenomom part time dad for a. While I'm not even training for
• 1:06:12
  semi finals, I'm just trying to make sure I don't F up this my
• 1:06:15
  responsibilities. Anyway.
• 1:06:19
  Where yeah are we getting in an invite for Xenon?
• 1:06:22
  I think so. Oh, Keith said.
• 1:06:24
  Yes, I'm sure he's. Down for it.
• 1:06:26
  Yeah, I've got my. E-mail I just I just haven't
• 1:06:28
  gotten. It I didn't know if you guys
• 1:06:29
  were going to back out because we haven't seen Event 6 yet.
• 1:06:31
  Dude I'm so pumped it could be A12K run I'm.
• 1:06:37
  He's getting a little late for me.
• 1:06:39
  I'm booked three months out these days.
• 1:06:41
  You think? All right, I'll take a.
• 1:06:42
  Look, you know what it You know what it is, though.
• 1:06:44
  You, you, you know what I mean. You plan for it.
• 1:06:47
  Tyler's training for Xenom. Dizzy.
• 1:06:52
  Yeah, Tyler wants to do to me what I did to him at Crash at
• 1:06:55
  Xenom. Hey.
• 1:07:01
  And I only practice in the run ski just so you can just.
• 1:07:03
  I'm promising, I promise you, Tyler, like the way I'm training
• 1:07:07
  right now, I'm giving you every opportunity because I I'm just
• 1:07:11
  trying to be strong right now. It's a because I'm not and I
• 1:07:15
  have to get to this certain point.
• 1:07:17
  So. Sorry, that one event will make
• 1:07:19
  up for all of it. That and the bike so.
• 1:07:20
  I'm not, I'm not looking forward to online semi finals if I'm
• 1:07:24
  being honest. I'll take, I'll do it for you.
• 1:07:27
  Are you the training, John? Is.
• 1:07:28
  That. What's going on?
• 1:07:29
  Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm, I'm, I tried to do some
• 1:07:32
  stuff and I can't do the stuff that I could last year so.
• 1:07:38
  JY Barbell team. Oh dude, I mean Leslie would be
• 1:07:42
  down if she got an invite. Now we're working on 4.
• 1:07:47
  Invites. I.
• 1:07:48
  Mean they're getting to be an expensive bill.
• 1:07:50
  We're not paying $1800 for our. But you're treated like Rockstar
• 1:07:56
  so it'd be fine. Can't put a price tag on that.
• 1:08:01
  Should you spell throw up? Don't worry about it man.
• 1:08:05
  My my. My.
• 1:08:07
  I tell you right now my. Man, I've been there.
• 1:08:10
  I understand. My CNS, my CNS has like rocked
• 1:08:14
  because like I'm, I'm having to, I'm, I'm, I'm weak.
• 1:08:19
  He's working. Like I'm I'm I'm I got decently
• 1:08:23
  fit for me, but I'm I'm weak I'm.
• 1:08:27
  Turning up the volume on the weight lifting.
• 1:08:29
  Dude, it's, it's Oh yeah. Like it's hot.
• 1:08:34
  Yeah, no, it'll be fine. This is just what it takes to
• 1:08:36
  like I'm, I'm, I'm in the process of building it back and
• 1:08:39
  I mean, it tears your CNS down. Yeah, that's a 3K run into a 2K
• 1:08:44
  ski is not going to go well. It'll be fine.
• 1:08:46
  I'll I'll be good enough to not walk.
• 1:08:48
  It'll be fine. It's not not that far.
• 1:08:53
  So yeah, I this week, really the last three days, the semi final
• 1:09:00
  structure is really irking me. OK.
• 1:09:05
  I just more chaotic than I thought.
• 1:09:07
  It's more chaotic than I thought it was going to be, I'll tell
• 1:09:09
  you that. It's almost as if you could have
• 1:09:12
  seen it coming. I knew everything would be like
• 1:09:16
  crunch time wise, but it's not. Going to be hard for athletes to
• 1:09:19
  figure out where they wanted to go, but not the actual like
• 1:09:25
  organization structure of getting invites out and having
• 1:09:28
  athletes like have to choose before they know what they're.
• 1:09:32
  It's all on the table. I also think that athletes are
• 1:09:35
  just waiting to see more workouts come out because you
• 1:09:38
  can't. Though you can't.
• 1:09:40
  Legends Championship You have 24 hours to accept your invite.
• 1:09:45
  Because, I mean, they have to fill the slots, right?
• 1:09:47
  So, yeah, yeah, yeah. So, but I, you know, the slots
• 1:09:51
  will get filled up. Like I I hear you and I'm with
• 1:09:53
  you and I agree with you. It still might be fine.
• 1:10:02
  You don't know. It's not going to be fine.
• 1:10:06
  I don't think you which way would you go on call sheet if
• 1:10:08
  this was if this was on call. Sheet OK, well what does not
• 1:10:12
  fine look like and what does fine look like I mean.
• 1:10:14
  I think not fine. Looks like when you have filled
• 1:10:18
  out 400 athletes are supposed to compete and you have less than
• 1:10:21
  400 athletes competing because you.
• 1:10:23
  Don't. You couldn't get the slots
• 1:10:25
  filled up in time, correct? Yes.
• 1:10:29
  We don't know that that's not going to happen.
• 1:10:31
  Heat 1 might be 600 place down the sheet like like they might
• 1:10:36
  get there. In Masters.
• 1:10:38
  Yeah, yeah, Yeah. No, I hear, I, I hear you.
• 1:10:42
  I'm just saying it's not a guarantee that it's not going to
• 1:10:46
  be fine. It might.
• 1:10:47
  Be but the heat's on. The heat, yeah, I agree.
• 1:10:49
  I agree. But I'm saying I don't think we
• 1:10:51
  should just freak out right now. But I, I, I think the reaction
• 1:10:56
  is appropriate. Spin.
• 1:10:57
  I'm not arguing your reaction. I think it's, I think it's
• 1:11:00
  appropriate. I'm just saying we don't know
• 1:11:02
  that it's not going to be fine. John's an optimist.
• 1:11:10
  Apparently. For this type of stuff, yeah.
• 1:11:12
  I mean, I just feel like eventually like it'll get time.
• 1:11:16
  Like you said 600th and that's like we're talking about age
• 1:11:19
  group, but if we go look at 600th and.
• 1:11:21
  Name them who are they and? Individuals.
• 1:11:26
  That's not the right one. Wrong monitor, Wrong tab. 600th
• 1:11:35
  Chase, Duke. Dude, Chase Duke can do some
• 1:11:38
  things, man. Chase. 653 on overhead squats.
• 1:11:44
  How old is Chase? What age division?
• 1:11:46
  This is just the open division. He's 3737 CrossFit proven he
• 1:11:51
  must be from Nashville. Weird. 9 minutes and 38 seconds
• 1:11:56
  in event two. What was your time, John?
• 1:12:01
  In event two, Yeah, 1136. OK.
• 1:12:05
  Was event 2 that was your hand clean six O 2 on the deadlifts?
• 1:12:15
  I was 636. And 11:22 on the final I.
• 1:12:20
  Was 1147. Jason, this guy would have no
• 1:12:25
  like, no disrespect, but he wouldn't have like if you're in
• 1:12:28
  a field of 20 at Legends and this guy's in one of the heats
• 1:12:34
  like. So this is a great example.
• 1:12:37
  Of. The case that I was trying to
• 1:12:39
  make is that like this guy's fitter than me by all accounts.
• 1:12:46
  Like he beat me in every. 100 spots.
• 1:12:48
  More Yeah, yeah, beat me in every single workout, but you
• 1:12:52
  need I I'm I'm a fan of people you don't.
• 1:12:55
  He might have home runs that just didn't show up is what I'm
• 1:12:57
  saying. You know, this guy might have
• 1:13:01
  like a £400 clean, you don't know.
• 1:13:04
  It's true. Well, he didn't test it.
• 1:13:06
  Like he might be a freaky handstand Walker like.
• 1:13:09
  More than just 4. £100 clean, nothing over 1. 35 He beat Matt
• 1:13:14
  in every single workout too. If Matt has a handstand walk
• 1:13:17
  workout, he's going to beat a lot of people, right?
• 1:13:19
  Like you don't know what these guys like.
• 1:13:22
  People might surprise you. You think?
• 1:13:26
  And, you know, maybe like, I'm just in the camp, but like, I
• 1:13:30
  get there's not a lot of mats out there and there's not a lot
• 1:13:32
  of like people like myself, like out there that aren't fit, that
• 1:13:37
  are kind of fit but have these crazy home run homers.
• 1:13:40
  Yeah, yeah, yeah. But they are out there.
• 1:13:43
  And I'm just saying you don't know that these people don't
• 1:13:45
  have something like that. They lurk, they lurk in the in
• 1:13:48
  the lower heats and that's that's cool.
• 1:13:52
  You want it like most people show up and you're like, well,
• 1:13:54
  there's. That's crazy. 2 heats though at
• 1:13:57
  legends like it's only 20 athletes right?
• 1:13:59
  Like, yeah, and we don't know what legends programming is
• 1:14:02
  going to be like, but if it's challenging.
• 1:14:06
  But what's wrong with him just being bad?
• 1:14:10
  That's what the first heat's supposed to be.
• 1:14:12
  There's only two heats though. Yeah.
• 1:14:15
  The first heat's supposed to be bad.
• 1:14:17
  Of 20. Yeah.
• 1:14:19
  Athletes total. The top ten are really good
• 1:14:22
  like. Preferably, there's no bad
• 1:14:23
  athletes there. I but we're in the situation
• 1:14:27
  where there could be what's wrong with him being bad is all
• 1:14:29
  I'm saying. Nothing all.
• 1:14:31
  Right. It's not the first seats, not
• 1:14:34
  entertaining. It's not freaking Rogue.
• 1:14:36
  For him, there's nothing wrong with it.
• 1:14:38
  For the the the sanctity of the test, the accuracy of the test
• 1:14:41
  there is. It's just, it's just, it's just.
• 1:14:45
  The way that the the, the way that it's set up, that's not who
• 1:14:48
  you're looking to fill for your 20th spot.
• 1:14:51
  And you might have to. What's wrong with that?
• 1:14:55
  It's a mess because you could have used the Open and probably
• 1:14:58
  gotten a better roster of athletes there.
• 1:15:01
  OK. OK, like why don't we just
• 1:15:06
  invite Kale? He'd be around 600th.
• 1:15:10
  He would. He would say no.
• 1:15:11
  No, he would not. No, he wouldn't.
• 1:15:14
  Yeah, I I beat Tyler, beat Kale and everything, so no.
• 1:15:18
  Semis are never 20 deep. It's always like the top five
• 1:15:20
  and then the rest. The problem with this thought,
• 1:15:22
  and you're not wrong, but that's at the end of the weekend,
• 1:15:26
  right? But during in the individual
• 1:15:28
  events, you have these people who come out just like John
• 1:15:31
  says, and they have some of these homers that they can hit.
• 1:15:34
  And when you have people who aren't 600th and more like 40th,
• 1:15:39
  50th, 60th, they're not going to make it to the Games, but
• 1:15:43
  they're going to affect how the the guys at the top do because
• 1:15:47
  they do have they can compete on some stuff.
• 1:15:50
  Yeah, no. And I, I, I, I hear your
• 1:15:53
  concerns spin. I'm saying it's not like that.
• 1:15:58
  Is it the worst competition ever because of that?
• 1:16:01
  I don't think so. It's just not like that.
• 1:16:03
  Like, and if you're going to like, if you think this is so
• 1:16:07
  bad, because there are eight people who are always the bottom
• 1:16:12
  eight people, the literal CrossFit Games are very similar
• 1:16:16
  to that. And and like whoever comes out
• 1:16:19
  on top still comes out on top. I don't think they like it's AI,
• 1:16:22
  don't think it's this terrible thing.
• 1:16:23
  It's just, it's how it is, I think.
• 1:16:25
  Generator is a very good swimmer.
• 1:16:27
  If they fill out their sheet like then that and then they
• 1:16:29
  just, they fill it out how they fill it out.
• 1:16:31
  And this is the competition that people agreed to be a part of.
• 1:16:33
  And that's just what's going to happen.
• 1:16:35
  I think a lot of semi finals will look like that.
• 1:16:38
  And if you you don't like it, like that's fine.
• 1:16:41
  I just don't think it ruins the competition.
• 1:16:43
  I would rather have six really, really good names and watch them
• 1:16:47
  go at it, then two good names and everybody be around the same
• 1:16:51
  fitness level and it's like it's like the 40th through 80th
• 1:16:57
  fitness level and two good names like.
• 1:16:59
  Backsliding here you always say you don't care about the lower
• 1:17:02
  tier athletes and here you are caring about the.
• 1:17:04
  Lower. No, no, no.
• 1:17:05
  You, you, you have me. You have me wrong.
• 1:17:06
  You just want. I just said I would rather watch
• 1:17:09
  the other. 14. Top athletes battle it out and
• 1:17:13
  then you know the next 14 are what they are.
• 1:17:16
  Then have two really good athletes but be 40th through
• 1:17:19
  80th type talent that fills the rest of your slots.
• 1:17:24
  Does. That make sense?
• 1:17:25
  Do you hear what? I'm saying, and they'll put you
• 1:17:28
  through 80th are fitter. They're fitter people, but you
• 1:17:31
  only have two really good people.
• 1:17:32
  For instance, what Syndicate was last year is a good example of
• 1:17:38
  what I'm talking about, right? Like I would rather like the way
• 1:17:42
  the semi finals are lining up to be where you're going to have 5
• 1:17:47
  or 6 really good names. The way Legends looks, I think
• 1:17:50
  Syndicate will look like that this year and Mayhem stack.
• 1:17:53
  But most of the semi finals will look like because of the way
• 1:17:57
  they've done it, I would rather watch that or call that or look
• 1:18:02
  at that or, you know, just have more fun with that type of a
• 1:18:05
  lineup. And your first heat is literally
• 1:18:10
  Duke, whatever, Chase Duke, whatever his name was and that
• 1:18:13
  guy's in it. But the you have 6 names that
• 1:18:15
  are freaking games people and somebody's not going to make it.
• 1:18:19
  Like I that's so much more drama.
• 1:18:21
  That's so much more fun to watch than what Syndicate was last
• 1:18:27
  year, where you have two pretty good people and then everybody
• 1:18:31
  else is like kind of good. Would you rather have at
• 1:18:36
  Legends, watch the top, you know, watch James, Justin and
• 1:18:41
  Dallin fight for those two spots, or would you rather have
• 1:18:43
  a rookie go in there and get one of the spots?
• 1:18:46
  I'd rather watch James Cheston and Dallin fight those spots and
• 1:18:49
  then one of them doesn't get it. Like the drama that regionals
• 1:18:52
  brought is because people who were the fittest people in the
• 1:18:55
  world, some people didn't make it.
• 1:19:00
  I feel like Tyler and I have a different opinion.
• 1:19:05
  We want to see the the underdog get in there.
• 1:19:08
  That's fine. I like watching people who are
• 1:19:11
  the fittest people in the world didn't make it and now they
• 1:19:15
  have. To go watching Josh Josh Bridges
• 1:19:17
  miss in 20, what year is that? 1314 was amazing.
• 1:19:25
  That's that's what I'm talking about Sam Briggs not making in
• 1:19:28
  20. 14 That's what he's saying. Spin.
• 1:19:33
  That's Christian. Lucero jumped in there and beat
• 1:19:35
  him or whatever. Like, yeah, but OK, if freaking
• 1:19:39
  who do you want to say Maddie Fouts if she comes in there and
• 1:19:42
  she beats Lucy Campbell? Or EJ Hind goes in there and
• 1:19:47
  takes second place on this guys that'd.
• 1:19:48
  Be great that would be amazing. But if that like there are so
• 1:19:52
  many regionals where like just the top guys got there, but
• 1:19:56
  there were a whole bunch of top guys like Graham Homberg didn't
• 1:19:59
  make it because there was Rich Scott and and I don't Jacob
• 1:20:04
  Hepner. I don't, I forget who.
• 1:20:05
  It was, but there's. Three people that made it and he
• 1:20:08
  didn't make it right. Fukowski didn't make it 2
• 1:20:11
  straight years. And like I'm saying, you get
• 1:20:15
  that happening with six big names and the rest are all trash
• 1:20:20
  people. I get what you're saying you
• 1:20:22
  don't want, you want higher people than the trash people.
• 1:20:25
  But we don't get that if it's like that.
• 1:20:28
  OK. Does that make sense?
• 1:20:30
  That makes sense. I want I want you to get your
• 1:20:31
  opinion real quick. Mr. John Wood, bring back
• 1:20:36
  regionals. Who's?
• 1:20:37
  Crossed it back to its roots on why it got successful.
• 1:20:41
  Crossed it got successful in the competitive landscape is because
• 1:20:44
  it had a high degree of representation of athletes.
• 1:20:48
  You could have people working normal jobs with normal
• 1:20:51
  responsibilities, training an hour and a half ish a day and
• 1:20:55
  they could get their fitness to a level where they could go to
• 1:20:58
  one of these events. And not only that is that their
• 1:21:01
  friends and family could go watch them compete.
• 1:21:04
  So when you have more athletes making a bigger emphasis in
• 1:21:08
  their life on fitness, trying to train for regionals, it's
• 1:21:11
  infectious. It rubs off onto their family.
• 1:21:13
  It rubs off onto their friends. More people go to the events and
• 1:21:16
  watch. More people buy into the
• 1:21:18
  CrossFit methodology rather than when you have semifinals at the
• 1:21:22
  StubHub Center and only 50 athletes from the entire western
• 1:21:27
  half of North America qualify. The representation of athletes
• 1:21:31
  at that point is far less. It's so easy to do.
• 1:21:34
  Bring regionals back. Contact large local affiliates
• 1:21:38
  per grouping. Easily big enough to hold a
• 1:21:40
  competition similar to the style that we saw across the crowd,
• 1:21:43
  brings Cross. He had me there until the end.
• 1:21:49
  I disagree with him, but what he's saying overall, it's almost
• 1:21:55
  as if I've said it before. You don't.
• 1:21:57
  You don't like going to a CrossFit crash as a semifinal or
• 1:22:01
  a new regional or whatever you want to call it for this?
• 1:22:03
  It would have to be, I mean, like you could do it at Mayhem,
• 1:22:07
  but I don't think you could do it at most affiliates.
• 1:22:09
  Like you need people to go. And I just think like it's going
• 1:22:12
  to be a madhouse sort of situation.
• 1:22:14
  I don't think it's going to work out in most situations.
• 1:22:16
  But something he said that I think would play is like local
• 1:22:20
  high school athletic facilities like we had.
• 1:22:25
  Yeah. Or a small college.
• 1:22:27
  Yeah. We number one in high school, we
• 1:22:30
  had a crazy, like Sports Center. And we weren't like, this is in
• 1:22:33
  the middle of Kentucky. Like people have these
• 1:22:36
  everywhere now. And it's like we.
• 1:22:38
  It would have been perfect for like a semifinal sort of
• 1:22:40
  situation or a regional situation.
• 1:22:42
  And then one of the coolest competitions I've ever been to,
• 1:22:45
  still to this day was in Marietta.
• 1:22:47
  OH, I know you don't know where that is.
• 1:22:49
  It's like South eastern Ohio on the river.
• 1:22:53
  It's middle of Appalachia, essentially.
• 1:22:56
  We did like 3 events on their football field and it was like,
• 1:23:01
  it made you feel really cool. And you could do that locally.
• 1:23:05
  And we don't have to, you know, Knoxville is its own sort of
• 1:23:08
  situation, but we don't have to rent out these big events and
• 1:23:11
  like venues. And the reason I think we keep
• 1:23:13
  doing that is because we set that baseline.
• 1:23:15
  But here's the thing, and it's uncomfortable, but we've gotten
• 1:23:18
  knocked down about 6 pegs and we got to fix this situation and
• 1:23:21
  you need to stop. You know, you need to make it as
• 1:23:25
  classy as you can. Jim Halpert stuck in my head
• 1:23:28
  right now. For those who know, hear me out.
• 1:23:32
  Even more classy. Just even more.
• 1:23:36
  Yeah. Like don't just bring regionals
• 1:23:38
  back, be. More.
• 1:23:39
  Regionals, right? But like we, we keep doing that.
• 1:23:44
  It's not financially feasible. It is financially feasible.
• 1:23:48
  I talked about this in my My Open Report video.
• 1:23:53
  The open report video is what people need to watch.
• 1:23:55
  I agree. Confirmed $1.4 million on a
• 1:23:59
  regional across all the regionals.
• 1:24:03
  Just stop. Just stop doing that.
• 1:24:06
  The budgets now are like $300,000.
• 1:24:09
  Yeah, literally just just say, hey, this is the regional.
• 1:24:14
  How much does crash cost to do Crescendo?
• 1:24:17
  I don't know. We prefer the.
• 1:24:20
  If you want to jump in at any time, let me know.
• 1:24:22
  I I bet you it's, I bet you it's less than 10,000.
• 1:24:26
  No. I understand.
• 1:24:28
  You don't think so? No.
• 1:24:30
  What cost so much money? They have they have prize money
• 1:24:34
  and. Oh yeah, yeah, I wasn't.
• 1:24:36
  The amount of tape that Jr. buys and he buys new GHD pads.
• 1:24:39
  And 30,000. That's all that stuff.
• 1:24:41
  I understand we need to go forward, but we've gotten
• 1:24:46
  knocked down a couple pigs. Like you got to go back.
• 1:24:48
  Sometime I would, I would say going, I would say going forward
• 1:24:50
  with bigger events like West Coast Classic shows, it's not
• 1:24:54
  working. I feel so bad for Dylan because
• 1:24:56
  it was a really cool venue and like it had I got.
• 1:24:59
  Excited. It had all the makings of being
• 1:25:03
  really cool and it didn't pan out well.
• 1:25:04
  You got to go back to the base. When you're not as fast as you
• 1:25:07
  want to be at some workouts, you got to ask yourself why, and
• 1:25:10
  usually it's because you're not good at the fundamentals.
• 1:25:11
  We got to get back back to the fundamentals.
• 1:25:15
  Let's start. Testing athleticism.
• 1:25:18
  I agree with him on that too, yeah.
• 1:25:20
  Go back. I just wanted to bring up
• 1:25:21
  another another John Wood video. John's hitting.
• 1:25:24
  John's hitting right now. He is and I and I was, I don't
• 1:25:27
  agree with him about everything he says, but but like 80% of it
• 1:25:33
  like he's, he's really, I'm rocking with what he's putting
• 1:25:37
  out there. Thanks, Lee.
• 1:25:39
  Yeppers, I hate that. I don't like that at all.
• 1:25:44
  What I tell you about Yeppers. I don't want to go.
• 1:25:46
  I don't want that to come out of my mouth.
• 1:25:48
  No, I just, I, I think his point about having smaller venues that
• 1:25:53
  are easily traveled to you can get your gym affiliate members
• 1:25:58
  to come watch you like that grows and then they ask you, why
• 1:26:04
  are you going to Knoxville today, this weekend I'm going to
• 1:26:07
  go watch my gym. You know, guy that I work out
• 1:26:10
  with the gym, go compete and it spreads that way or my team is
• 1:26:14
  going there. My, you know, team for my
• 1:26:15
  affiliate. When it's all super teams, it
• 1:26:18
  doesn't work. And that's very true.
• 1:26:21
  Get well Travis is a little biased.
• 1:26:25
  They look way cooler to you I bet.
• 1:26:29
  No. All right.
• 1:26:31
  Moving on, Blind. Rankings, when people have to be
• 1:26:33
  like outside because the venue's too too small, and then they
• 1:26:37
  just have to be where all the vendors are, like that's the
• 1:26:40
  cool that yeah. Standing room only.
• 1:26:44
  All right, blind rankings. We'll see if you guys like this
• 1:26:46
  one. Put your put your man sleep mask
• 1:26:52
  on Tyler, OH. Yeah.
• 1:26:54
  We have to sleep not sponsored by him, but go ahead and.
• 1:26:57
  Not sponsored. Yeah, King Kong bags.
• 1:27:00
  I'm making up for all the times I didn't wear this.
• 1:27:02
  That's. Right, that's right.
• 1:27:06
  Go to vindicate, actually get 15% off orders of was it $32 or
• 1:27:12
  more. You spend more money, you get
• 1:27:15
  more dollars off. Hey, that's how it works.
• 1:27:17
  travis.com, can you send, can you send Tyler like a little
• 1:27:21
  blindfold with Vindicate on it and then we'll wear that for our
• 1:27:26
  blind rankings? Yeah.
• 1:27:28
  Is that like, would that cost money?
• 1:27:29
  I feel it like just the cheapest thing.
• 1:27:31
  You've made absolutely free. That would be free.
• 1:27:34
  I'm that's what I'm saying. Use the cheapest thing you can
• 1:27:36
  do. But like it would be we would,
• 1:27:38
  we would wear it every time. Just saying.
• 1:27:40
  That's true. All right.
• 1:27:41
  This week, if we decided that we were done with CrossFit, we
• 1:27:46
  didn't want to do a CrossFit show.
• 1:27:48
  I want to know what sport would we do a podcast on?
• 1:27:53
  Oh, this is fine, this is fine. Now it's just tough because I'm
• 1:28:00
  the most other sport watcher of the group.
• 1:28:04
  Well, I mean we we would dive full, full into it.
• 1:28:07
  Hold on, Tyler. close your eyes. Wait.
• 1:28:09
  Wait, wait, I I had an idea for a blind rankings that I think
• 1:28:13
  would be fun. It would be I had this I think
• 1:28:17
  during your show with CJ is you guys are talking about who
• 1:28:21
  should be CEO and I said that we should do like a a Mr. deed
• 1:28:25
  situation and just pick a random person.
• 1:28:29
  I said like Kenneth the lap and so it's like ranking the random
• 1:28:33
  best. Commenters.
• 1:28:37
  The CEOs oh commenters to be the next Ceoi like that I like.
• 1:28:42
  That. Yeah, Crossfat comes up five
• 1:28:47
  automatic 5 minutes. He's been there.
• 1:28:49
  He literally lives it. Like, look at where we're at.
• 1:28:51
  Go ahead all. Right, here we go.
• 1:28:54
  Alternate sports. Who would?
• 1:28:55
  What would we? What would we do if we didn't
• 1:28:58
  have CrossFit first up? OK, RAR.
• 1:29:07
  Hey. What's the topic again?
• 1:29:12
  Alternate sports, But what kind of What kind of animal am IA?
• 1:29:16
  Lion. Keep going.
• 1:29:19
  Nope, keep going. Tiger.
• 1:29:21
  OK, there you go. Football.
• 1:29:28
  OK. Oh, shoot.
• 1:29:30
  I'm lost. I'm in the, I'm in the where.
• 1:29:33
  Jungle. Nope.
• 1:29:35
  Nope. Upside down the.
• 1:29:40
  OK, the Forbidden forest. What's another word for that?
• 1:29:44
  For forest? I'm in the I'm in the what
• 1:29:46
  woods. OK, now put those two together.
• 1:29:49
  Tiger Woods golf. OK.
• 1:29:50
  Thank you. Where?
• 1:29:52
  Where would we put golf? OK, this is tough because golf
• 1:29:55
  is boring, but like I'm into it when the majors.
• 1:29:58
  Are on. You can get a lot of
• 1:29:59
  commentating in on. Golf.
• 1:30:01
  You can. You can.
• 1:30:02
  A lot of colour. I can get into golf, but.
• 1:30:05
  This is not frisbee golf for. Anybody it is, it is not it's
• 1:30:09
  the real golf. It's not like if it's not one of
• 1:30:11
  the majors like then I'm like so not into.
• 1:30:15
  It. We'd have to get into it though,
• 1:30:16
  John. 4 It's not the worst thing, but boy, could you like
• 1:30:22
  now we got to go to like we got to go to Florida this weekend
• 1:30:25
  again and then we got to go to Georgia next weekend and sit
• 1:30:29
  there and watch 18 hours of golf.
• 1:30:31
  But think about how much content you'd have.
• 1:30:33
  It's 4-4 days of. I mean, yeah.
• 1:30:35
  Every week dude. People think like we watch
• 1:30:38
  people work out. How boring is that to a lot of
• 1:30:41
  people? That's even boring.
• 1:30:44
  The people that do CrossFit, that's.
• 1:30:46
  What? That's what I'm saying.
• 1:30:48
  Like I I hear that, I hear you that golf is boring, but I've
• 1:30:51
  just said what we do is boring. It I just don't like, I, I mean,
• 1:30:55
  I don't hate golf. It's just like I don't watch it
• 1:30:57
  myself. So this is like a personal
• 1:30:58
  thing. I no, I think 4 is perfect and I
• 1:31:01
  and I'm. Into it, We do it.
• 1:31:04
  I don't get into it. Our show would be great.
• 1:31:06
  Tiger gets into an accident. Dude, like I would try to get
• 1:31:09
  along, drive championships. The amount of.
• 1:31:12
  Figure out how to long drive through.
• 1:31:14
  Well, that's that's what I would end up doing.
• 1:31:16
  The amount of like color you could get in probably would make
• 1:31:20
  it worth it to me. Dude my dad back in the day did
• 1:31:23
  did long drive championships. Not no.
• 1:31:27
  I'm not surprised I'm. Just saying I.
• 1:31:30
  Could see that. All right, Next up.
• 1:31:36
  Secretariat. Horse racing.
• 1:31:40
  I don't think John knows anything else about it, so 2.
• 1:31:42
  What are you talking about? That was like the easiest hint
• 1:31:45
  ever. I mean, okay, I'll be more
• 1:31:50
  subtle, I'm sorry. Some people wouldn't get that.
• 1:31:55
  Yeah. I too for sure.
• 1:31:58
  Dude, those are exciting. They are exciting, but would you
• 1:32:01
  watch something that's not one of the Triple Crown ones?
• 1:32:03
  Like would you watch something that's not the best horses?
• 1:32:06
  You've seen like the the chart that's like interest in horse
• 1:32:11
  racing. It like peaks one day of the
• 1:32:12
  year on the line. It's the.
• 1:32:14
  Dirty, yeah. The thing about horse racing is
• 1:32:17
  like, we can't do it. Like I like being able to do it,
• 1:32:22
  you know what I mean? And even if I'm not like great
• 1:32:24
  at it, I like being able to go do it.
• 1:32:27
  If I got on Ozympic I might be able to do it.
• 1:32:32
  We'd have to like majorly get it to the betting aspect of it.
• 1:32:36
  Yeah, that's, I mean that's what it is and.
• 1:32:38
  That's what we'd have to get into.
• 1:32:39
  The guys who are into horse racing like that and they're all
• 1:32:42
  gamblers, unless you own a horse and like they, you have to go to
• 1:32:47
  like weird channels to watch the races and all that stuff or you
• 1:32:50
  got to be at the, the venue. I got into it for a little while
• 1:32:54
  because I was just like following the bar stool stuff.
• 1:32:57
  I mean, they're fanatics about it and I, I, I don't get it, but
• 1:33:01
  like the gambling aspect of it. I could 100%.
• 1:33:04
  The only reason you watch Horse. Racing, That's the only reason.
• 1:33:06
  Right, that's see that's my point.
• 1:33:07
  That's the only reason and I know I would get way to like it
• 1:33:12
  would be a problem. Most people, I'll tell you this,
• 1:33:15
  living in living in Lexington, Keeneland during the spring is
• 1:33:20
  just like every weekend, like all the college students are
• 1:33:24
  just going to tailgate it at Keeneland.
• 1:33:26
  And it's weird because they like won't watch the races, like
• 1:33:29
  they'll just party. And that was so always so
• 1:33:32
  strange to me. Real quick little slide tangent
• 1:33:35
  PC Nate Edwardson has found some great success covering golf.
• 1:33:39
  Nate Edwardson covers the YouTube golf drama.
• 1:33:43
  He doesn't cover golf. Dude YouTube golf is popping off
• 1:33:47
  though. But all he does, he's doing the
• 1:33:49
  exact same thing he did with the CrossFit.
• 1:33:50
  Is he like finds like So it's got a big.
• 1:33:54
  Online presence. Yeah.
• 1:33:55
  And then he just like latches onto it and like, whatever the
• 1:33:58
  good, good or whatever it was. Like I saw like that.
• 1:34:01
  Like he just covered that drama and then did the exact same
• 1:34:04
  thing, just replace the word CrossFit with golf and Danielle
• 1:34:08
  Brandon with good, good. And then they're just like, it
• 1:34:11
  was something new in that space of somebody talking about them.
• 1:34:15
  I'm not sure he's still doing it or gets as many views as he used
• 1:34:18
  to, but. My brother in law's dad is super
• 1:34:21
  into like the YouTube golf stuff.
• 1:34:23
  I swear to God every time I go to their house he's like got it
• 1:34:25
  on. He's telling me about all the
• 1:34:26
  stories about these dudes. I mean, it is pretty
• 1:34:28
  interesting. Three, maybe two or three horse
• 1:34:34
  racing. Horse racing.
• 1:34:35
  Three give me 3. I gave you 4 for golf.
• 1:34:43
  What were you going to rank golf?
• 1:34:46
  3. OK, 3.
• 1:34:51
  All right, I don't want to push. I don't want to put it too
• 1:34:53
  because I just know the only way to like really get into it is
• 1:34:56
  the gambling aspect that I. Just yeah, you'd have such a
• 1:34:59
  hard time doing. That it would lead to a dark
• 1:35:00
  thing it would be. It would end up being bad all.
• 1:35:06
  Right Next up. Dude #1.
• 1:35:12
  Love to know about it. No, I mean you could probably
• 1:35:15
  guess it. Football.
• 1:35:18
  Bam yes yeah, NFL. I'm already way into it dude.
• 1:35:24
  Football is by far, in my opinion, the best sport in
• 1:35:27
  America. It would be.
• 1:35:29
  The amount of sport in the world, I think the.
• 1:35:31
  NFL is. The NFL or college?
• 1:35:35
  It's NFL. It's NFL.
• 1:35:37
  Oh God. I I hear you.
• 1:35:40
  I hear you would call. We would, I know we would talk
• 1:35:42
  college football too. But in my in my opinion, it's
• 1:35:45
  the best sport in the world. I'd really like to cover
• 1:35:50
  baseball more than football. Baseball's so boring, Tyler.
• 1:35:54
  Dude. Again, it's like it's like the
• 1:35:57
  best of football and golf at the same time.
• 1:36:00
  You get a lot of color in. I can listen to Marty Brenneman
• 1:36:04
  for hours and Tom Brenneman for hours.
• 1:36:09
  Dude, you sit there. And talk, dude, they just it's a
• 1:36:12
  podcast. And then every now and then you
• 1:36:14
  get like a, you know, you'll get a double and you're like, look
• 1:36:16
  at that. You got a crazy behind the back.
• 1:36:18
  So like I actually want to be like into something, not just
• 1:36:22
  the boys being boy. You want bro time like I'm I'm
• 1:36:26
  fine. It needs.
• 1:36:27
  To. Be good that dude just got lit
• 1:36:29
  the F up like would. You rather do a sport?
• 1:36:34
  Would you rather have a sport that's like super popular like
• 1:36:36
  the NFL or something that's more niche?
• 1:36:40
  Depends on how. Interesting.
• 1:36:41
  Like how interesting the niche thing is, Yeah.
• 1:36:43
  Like you, you haven't brought up.
• 1:36:45
  We could talk about that after if you want.
• 1:36:48
  OK. I'll give you #1 it would be fun
• 1:36:52
  to cover. It would have the most fun.
• 1:36:54
  Tyler, you. Know like there's a, there's a
• 1:36:55
  ton of like the, you know, the like podcast circuit is, is
• 1:36:59
  gotten really big as far as the NFL goes.
• 1:37:01
  You know, those people have a lot of fun.
• 1:37:03
  There's a lot of characters. There's never, you know, you're
• 1:37:05
  never going to run out of stuff to talk about.
• 1:37:07
  Dude, the draft is great, free agency is great, it's literally
• 1:37:11
  a year round thing and then there's nothing bigger than the
• 1:37:13
  Super Bowl. The amount of it in it's, it's
• 1:37:17
  weird. I'm going to say this because
• 1:37:18
  the amount of work we like, we talk about CrossFit all day, but
• 1:37:22
  like dude, you get like full time job just studying what's
• 1:37:26
  happening. You know what we are if we cover
• 1:37:28
  football, we're Pat McAfee. I'm not Pat McAfee.
• 1:37:32
  That's what we are. I'm saying that's what that is.
• 1:37:36
  I'm like Pat Mcafee's driver or something.
• 1:37:39
  You know what I'm saying though? Yeah.
• 1:37:45
  Next up, two or five left. This is something I think I
• 1:37:50
  think we would all really like, but I don't know anything about,
• 1:37:55
  but I think we all could get into it.
• 1:37:58
  I know we all see. Just just get something off of
• 1:38:00
  that and then I'll give you a better hint.
• 1:38:03
  Spike ball. OK, No, that was bad, Brad.
• 1:38:07
  Spike ball would go. On Brad Pitt.
• 1:38:09
  Baseball. I see why you guessed that, but
• 1:38:12
  no. F1 I would say 4.
• 1:38:20
  We already said four. We have two and 45. 5.
• 1:38:22
  Why? What's your reasoning?
• 1:38:25
  Is the same from Kentucky? It's it's.
• 1:38:32
  It's not NASCAR. Racing.
• 1:38:34
  I tried real hard to get into racing after Dale passed.
• 1:38:39
  It just broke my heart. No, I just can't.
• 1:38:42
  I can't get into racing. It's one of those sports that I
• 1:38:45
  would love to do, but I don't give a crap about it outside of
• 1:38:48
  doing it. I could not get into that.
• 1:38:55
  I just couldn't. That'd be great.
• 1:38:57
  OK, I'll I'll give you 5, but why do you think?
• 1:39:00
  It would be so good, John. I I just think we.
• 1:39:02
  You don't know anything about it I.
• 1:39:08
  Think defend this. Yeah, Yeah, I think we could
• 1:39:13
  maybe maybe I'm just speaking for myself.
• 1:39:15
  I could see myself getting into the minutia, getting into the
• 1:39:18
  minutia of the sport. Like there's a lot of things
• 1:39:20
  that go into like building your car and the tires and and like
• 1:39:24
  trying to shave off half a second on every turn.
• 1:39:27
  Like like, I just think I could get into that and I but I don't
• 1:39:31
  know anything about it. You're the richest in that one.
• 1:39:36
  Yeah, dude, dude. And there's a lot of money that
• 1:39:38
  goes into it. I, I, I hear you.
• 1:39:40
  I hear you. I just think I could see myself
• 1:39:44
  getting into it if I wanted to. Does that make sense?
• 1:39:48
  And the that's all, that's all. But like I I hear you
• 1:39:51
  completely. The F1 movie with Brad Pitt's
• 1:39:54
  pretty good. That's, you know, and that's
• 1:39:56
  where I'm basing this off of because I watched that movie and
• 1:39:59
  that's all I know about F1. And at #2.
• 1:40:05
  OK, I don't think we did this that bad.
• 1:40:08
  I don't know. You'll see the new the new
• 1:40:15
  blacks. Rugby.
• 1:40:19
  Yep, that's right. There it is, number 2 rugby.
• 1:40:25
  Rugby be pretty good. I think it being right under NFL
• 1:40:28
  probably the right fitting. I think we we ranked these
• 1:40:32
  appropriately. Yeah.
• 1:40:34
  Going back to your answer about niche versus something that
• 1:40:37
  everybody's into, to be successful, I think is a lot
• 1:40:43
  harder to do when everybody's into it.
• 1:40:45
  But I would have fun with football, the most fun with
• 1:40:49
  football. I know that for a fact.
• 1:40:51
  Now you want to get in the niche side.
• 1:40:54
  I would have just as much fun covering cycling, nobody else.
• 1:40:59
  Are there are there any cycling podcasts out there?
• 1:41:01
  Yes, I I will. Are they good?
• 1:41:05
  I'm going to show you when we did our Spotify Wrapped, it was
• 1:41:12
  my like #2 and you guys were like, what is that?
• 1:41:15
  So if you look, if you look here on the top left, that red one,
• 1:41:23
  it's. There it is.
• 1:41:28
  It it, It's Zulia Basque. That's the best.
• 1:41:31
  It's a best. It's a it's a race that's going
• 1:41:33
  on right now, but it's called Lantern Rouge.
• 1:41:37
  Sounds terrible. The it's a.
• 1:41:40
  Terrible name to Google Lantern Rouge cycling podcast.
• 1:41:43
  But if you're dude, they get more views than we do.
• 1:41:47
  They get like 80,000 views every every show.
• 1:41:51
  But but the they they're called that because if you're last
• 1:41:57
  place in a race, you're the Lantern Rouge, you're the last.
• 1:42:01
  That's what that's from. OK.
• 1:42:04
  That's what that that that is. What do you talk about cycling
• 1:42:07
  for that long? They analyzed the races.
• 1:42:10
  They they like this is what how this broke down.
• 1:42:13
  Like their team, like it's a lot of stuff goes into it that most
• 1:42:16
  people don't realize. Like every team has a couple
• 1:42:19
  sprinters, a couple mountain guys and a couple guys who can
• 1:42:22
  kind of do it all. And there's a lot of strategy
• 1:42:26
  that goes into it. It's not just this guy's the
• 1:42:29
  fastest, so he wins. Like there's a lot of strategy
• 1:42:32
  that goes into. It it's probably more
• 1:42:34
  interesting to talk about CrossFit in a lot of respects.
• 1:42:36
  No, I'm not listen, I completely I completely understand why
• 1:42:40
  people like like no, but what do you how do you even talk about
• 1:42:45
  stuff? But like, it's, it's if you're
• 1:42:50
  in it, there's so much to talk about and I'm sure every sport's
• 1:42:54
  like that. I'm sure horse racing's like
• 1:42:56
  that. If you, if you held a gun in my
• 1:42:59
  head and said Tyler, you have to pick NASCAR or bike racing, I'd
• 1:43:04
  pick NASCAR. No, I know that Tyler, I would
• 1:43:06
  pick cycling, but I'm saying spin was like, would you rather
• 1:43:10
  cover a niche sport or something that everybody's a part of?
• 1:43:14
  I would say everybody said something that everybody likes
• 1:43:18
  because I know we would all be into it.
• 1:43:20
  We would all get into it like pretty hard where a niche sport
• 1:43:25
  like I'm really into cycling, nobody else is right, you are.
• 1:43:30
  You would be into NASCAR. I could care less, right?
• 1:43:33
  Spin, whatever. This is a gun in my head
• 1:43:35
  situation. Yeah, yeah, I get it.
• 1:43:36
  Spin is into hacky sack. Nobody else is, right?
• 1:43:40
  Like I couldn't get into what y'all's niche thing is, and I
• 1:43:44
  know you guys couldn't get into what my niche thing is.
• 1:43:47
  What? You know what?
• 1:43:48
  If it's something we can all get into that that's where I'm
• 1:43:52
  coming from, that's where I'm coming from.
• 1:43:53
  What I think is interesting is like, we go to Nashville SC
• 1:43:57
  games. And so like I've caught some of
• 1:43:59
  those, like try to see like what podcasts are out there talking
• 1:44:02
  about MLS and they get like 80 live viewers on a podcast.
• 1:44:08
  Like the biggest one out there on YouTube.
• 1:44:09
  I'm like, really? That's it.
• 1:44:12
  Oh, you're saying like we could take over a niche sport?
• 1:44:14
  We could take over like a niche are.
• 1:44:16
  You trying to tell us that's what we're you were just.
• 1:44:18
  Yeah, we're just going to go take over some other some other
• 1:44:21
  sport. And this was like a
• 1:44:22
  brainstorming activity, so. Cool.
• 1:44:25
  Yeah. So I don't know if rugby might
• 1:44:27
  be the most niche of that list. Highest ranking.
• 1:44:30
  They have 63,000 subscribers. We're close and.
• 1:44:35
  Speaking of which, go subscribe now so we can catch them and
• 1:44:38
  move on up. And then their videos our our
• 1:44:41
  video viewage is not actually not that far off 30,014
• 1:44:44
  seventeen 12/19 like. OK.
• 1:44:49
  Just I'm just saying, I guess we're.
• 1:44:50
  We're at 10,850, creeping up on 11,000 so.
• 1:44:55
  Go ahead. You're so close.
• 1:44:56
  Subscribe. I'd love to hit that before
• 1:44:59
  Syndicate. If you could pick a niche sport,
• 1:45:02
  which one would you pick, Tyler? Would it be NASCAR?
• 1:45:05
  No, I told you I don't like. I tried.
• 1:45:09
  I tried so hard to get in NASCAR.
• 1:45:10
  It's tough when you live in Kentucky and with.
• 1:45:12
  A bunch of What would it be? A niche sport.
• 1:45:19
  I'm not kidding about spike ball.
• 1:45:20
  Spike ball might be spike ball would be super fun to cover.
• 1:45:24
  You're going to be in cool locations.
• 1:45:26
  The plays are so cool and so fast.
• 1:45:30
  You got all kinds of care. You got people who like don't
• 1:45:33
  look like they'd be good at anything that are amazing at
• 1:45:36
  Spike. Ball, OK, it's been.
• 1:45:43
  You know, I would say it's probably not niche, but given
• 1:45:46
  that there's no viewers, I go to soccer.
• 1:45:49
  Soccer, OK. All right.
• 1:45:52
  And last up, I label it Mayhem. It's kind of just odds and ends.
• 1:45:57
  I changed my mind bull riding. That's different.
• 1:46:04
  Wasn't expecting that. Those dudes live so rough.
• 1:46:07
  They'd be the most interesting interview.
• 1:46:09
  They're small too, like you can't be big and be a gay.
• 1:46:12
  It's like a jockey, but you have to be like a freaking like Iron
• 1:46:16
  Man jockey. Anyway, sorry, Rd. bullying.
• 1:46:20
  Oh, this is killer sport. You just got a bunch of Irish
• 1:46:24
  people lined up on the road and they're throwing rocks down the
• 1:46:27
  road and they're like, look at that sucker go.
• 1:46:30
  Just saying it's been, it's good.
• 1:46:32
  It's a good, good comment right here by Mary.
• 1:46:34
  That's true. Spin Cycle channel, yeah.
• 1:46:40
  So you know, I got a couple things in the last 6 minutes.
• 1:46:42
  First, I have heard there might be some more mayhem, withdraws
• 1:46:48
  and additions. That's the rumor on the street.
• 1:46:55
  Are we upset about last minute changes?
• 1:46:58
  No. For Mayhem I.
• 1:47:01
  Mean it happened last year a lot.
• 1:47:03
  We had a bunch that drop out. We're seeing more and more again
• 1:47:06
  now. If you're going to go and you'd
• 1:47:11
  like really want to put your best foot forward at a semi
• 1:47:14
  final and like you're just like you're coming.
• 1:47:16
  Especially if you're a female, you're coming into a den of
• 1:47:19
  wolves and it's like it. Goes to John's point.
• 1:47:23
  Like there's ten women that are just going to be like knocking
• 1:47:30
  each other out. If you're not in the top 10,
• 1:47:33
  Even if you're in the top 10, there's only three spots.
• 1:47:35
  Like you've got to make a decision.
• 1:47:36
  Like what's the right move for you?
• 1:47:40
  So you got that. You've got a 5K run that was
• 1:47:43
  announced on Monday with some other stuff.
• 1:47:47
  Who knows what that is with Kyra.
• 1:47:51
  Get to go show how fast she is now.
• 1:47:53
  That'll be exciting. No other workouts announced
• 1:47:59
  though. I know it's killing me.
• 1:48:02
  I mean, they got what, another week?
• 1:48:05
  Week and a half, week and a half, nine days till it starts.
• 1:48:13
  Do you think as a semi final they should be announcing the
• 1:48:15
  workouts ahead of time? They don't have to.
• 1:48:19
  I think it's up to the competition.
• 1:48:21
  The fact that I want more means they're doing a good job.
• 1:48:26
  They're keeping me on the top of my seat.
• 1:48:28
  Very soon she's putting them out.
• 1:48:29
  I, I selfishly just want to know all the events, but it's more so
• 1:48:35
  I can like predict things than anything.
• 1:48:37
  That's a that's a selfish one. But I I truly believe like it's
• 1:48:43
  whatever the competition was. Would you rather have all the
• 1:48:45
  workouts? They're going to be announced
• 1:48:46
  ahead of time? Would you rather have them
• 1:48:47
  announced all at once or doled out?
• 1:48:50
  Trickled out? I would rather have them all at
• 1:48:52
  once. Trickle.
• 1:48:55
  You you like you're thinking from the trickle like a a build
• 1:48:58
  up standpoint. Yeah, like I'm excited for, like
• 1:49:01
  I'm itching to see what's next. The the the the whole game of
• 1:49:06
  crossing out, which workouts are not going to be included?
• 1:49:08
  I will say that that's cool. That works pretty well with that
• 1:49:10
  piece of it. Yeah, eliminating, but generally
• 1:49:14
  speaking, I like them all at once.
• 1:49:17
  Why what? Why over?
• 1:49:18
  Trickle because it's harder to talk about.
• 1:49:22
  If we knew all the workouts, we could talk about that now.
• 1:49:25
  Then we could go into a preview show.
• 1:49:26
  We could have a full show next week.
• 1:49:28
  Yeah, we could have a full show on just Mayhem and instead.
• 1:49:33
  We won't we we end the show saying, do you like there's a
• 1:49:38
  triple all at once? Yeah, we can't.
• 1:49:39
  We can't talk about who we think's going to really win
• 1:49:41
  because we're just speculating on who the best ones we think
• 1:49:45
  are out of the three, who's going to line up with the the
• 1:49:48
  workouts. Next week, we'll probably know.
• 1:49:52
  3-4 hopefully, hopefully. Then we can, we can do a good
• 1:49:58
  bit of pontificating next week, I think guessing about then
• 1:50:02
  we'll be able to guess about what the other workouts are.
• 1:50:04
  You know, I've limited it that the whole, you know, list of
• 1:50:08
  workouts thing really adds an element.
• 1:50:11
  CrossFit should steal that. But we've not seen like.
• 1:50:14
  I would assume maybe this Friday we'll get workouts to Legends.
• 1:50:19
  Like we're entering the period where we just talked about, you
• 1:50:23
  know, golf having something every week.
• 1:50:25
  NFL has everything, you know, every week during the season.
• 1:50:28
  We're getting to the point where we're going to have something
• 1:50:30
  every weekend for the next two months.
• 1:50:35
  Yeah, it's. Kind of crazy John's going to be
• 1:50:40
  traveling 90% of those weekends so we.
• 1:50:44
  Want to walk through? I have a picture of of my
• 1:50:48
  calendar. What are we going to do during
• 1:50:51
  mayhem? Do we have a plan?
• 1:50:54
  I don't know. Should we have a plan?
• 1:50:56
  Feel like we should. We're not really good at
• 1:50:58
  planning. We're.
• 1:51:01
  Better. We're better than some.
• 1:51:03
  Do you want to do just a pre pre post show?
• 1:51:09
  Maybe. End of the day wrap up.
• 1:51:14
  OK. Can you tell me what we're
• 1:51:16
  doing? Not not for Mayhem, Not for
• 1:51:19
  Mayhem. I'm saying like the weekends,
• 1:51:21
  like the weekends. You said there's something every
• 1:51:22
  weekend. Can you go down the line?
• 1:51:25
  John doesn't know the season first.
• 1:51:29
  It's mayhem starting next weekend.
• 1:51:31
  So next weekend is Mayhem Classic, the weekend after that
• 1:51:34
  we have Legends and Crash crescendo, so May 1st through
• 1:51:40
  3rd. The following weekend, Far East
• 1:51:42
  Throwdown, Copasur, Magic City Games and WFP London 4.
• 1:51:48
  Competitions and Magic City. The next weekend, May 11th, 7th
• 1:51:54
  to 11th, is the age group online semifinals.
• 1:51:58
  OK. The weekend after that, May
• 1:52:00
  14th, the 17th or 15th, the 17th, you have the Adaptive
• 1:52:04
  online semifinals and the French Throwdown.
• 1:52:07
  OK. The weekend after that, May 22nd
• 1:52:10
  to 24th, you have Torian Pro and Rebel Renegade games.
• 1:52:13
  And Grid League, if you want to watch that Miami.
• 1:52:17
  There you go. The following weekend, May 29th,
• 1:52:20
  the 31st, you have Syndicate Crown Norcal Classic in the Mad
• 1:52:24
  Fitness Festival out there in Spain.
• 1:52:28
  The weekend after that, June 4th to 8th, you have Team online
• 1:52:31
  semifinals. The weekend after that, you have
• 1:52:35
  the individual online semifinals on June 11th to the 15th and
• 1:52:40
  June 12th, the 14th, you have the LATAM Masters.
• 1:52:45
  Is The Grid the next weekend, John?
• 1:52:48
  So another one in June? Yes, grid is the 20th.
• 1:52:51
  The 20th is of June is Grid, June 27th, The 28th is Zenom
• 1:52:58
  Dallas and then we get to take a break off and it's CrossFit
• 1:53:02
  Games, so. I'm going to have my grid league
• 1:53:09
  match and then Zenom right after it.
• 1:53:11
  Let's go do it. I'm going to be in the worst
• 1:53:14
  shape possible, Tyler. I'm going to be able to clean
• 1:53:16
  400 lbs but like that 3K runs going to be rough.
• 1:53:21
  If we don't get the invite to Zenom, I would like to be fun.
• 1:53:24
  I wonder if we could talk Keith into letting us do some sort of
• 1:53:29
  are they going to live stream anything?
• 1:53:31
  I don't know. I don't know, Keith.
• 1:53:32
  I think Keith will let us do it. Yeah, because I think that that
• 1:53:36
  would be fun. I think it's a different we, we
• 1:53:39
  do a different sort of analysis than we do on most CrossFit
• 1:53:44
  events. On Zeno, yeah, we I'm really
• 1:53:46
  curious to know how much of A sports it is versus just a
• 1:53:50
  participation fun run, yeah. Me too.
• 1:53:54
  I I want it to be more of a sport.
• 1:53:58
  PCs throwing stuff out there. July is monster games you got.
• 1:54:02
  June is high rocks worlds. I Hunter will not win I guess.
• 1:54:07
  Is Kyra there? This is a good question Ryan.
• 1:54:11
  If a games contender who is already going to London IE
• 1:54:15
  Martins or Sprague do not qualify through Mayhem, what are
• 1:54:18
  the chances they pull out of London and go to where Syndicate
• 1:54:23
  or? Syndicate just not doing another
• 1:54:25
  competition. I mean, just probably wait until
• 1:54:28
  online. Here's the I've heard that a
• 1:54:31
  lot, John, Like if I don't qualify this one time, I'm going
• 1:54:35
  to go online because they think, well, there's seven spots I can
• 1:54:38
  qualify that way because everybody else is going to
• 1:54:41
  qualify in person and it'll just beat me left to beat everybody
• 1:54:44
  up like a like James Sprague or Colton.
• 1:54:46
  But if everybody does. But if that's not the case and
• 1:54:49
  you get some rookies that go in there and upset, the next thing
• 1:54:52
  you know you have 5 or 6 top guys and it's online and you're
• 1:54:57
  now risking yourself getting Jay crouched and you were first and
• 1:55:01
  now you're 38th. Anything, anything happens on
• 1:55:07
  anything happens online. Like it's not like it's not like
• 1:55:11
  you finish and you're like, I won.
• 1:55:13
  It's I finished submit my videos and I sit there for the next two
• 1:55:18
  weeks praying that I did everything right.
• 1:55:21
  You don't get. Jay crouched.
• 1:55:23
  I show all my videos, I show all the weights.
• 1:55:25
  I don't, you know, accidentally step out of frame and I didn't
• 1:55:28
  catch it like all those like I didn't squat properly.
• 1:55:32
  My judge didn't see it. Like all those things can
• 1:55:34
  happen. You think you qualify and then
• 1:55:37
  you're out. There's nothing you can do to
• 1:55:39
  remedy it. So like.
• 1:55:40
  If I thought there was a greater chance, like decent chance that
• 1:55:43
  I like qualify at a semi final, but a greater chance that I
• 1:55:47
  qualify online, I'm going. I'm going in person.
• 1:55:52
  Right. And so.
• 1:55:54
  I know Jeff. Jeff is probably safe.
• 1:55:56
  Jeff's always been phenomenal online, but the Jay Crouch thing
• 1:56:02
  is what I would be the most afraid of.
• 1:56:04
  Right. I mean, I don't think anybody
• 1:56:06
  expected him to get a penalty to drop him down.
• 1:56:09
  And all it takes is 1. And if they're going to do it
• 1:56:14
  the same way that they did quarterfinals where they only
• 1:56:16
  review the top 7 athletes, there's no way you get even a
• 1:56:19
  minor penalty drop down to 8th and then get to move back up
• 1:56:23
  because other people got penalized, right?
• 1:56:26
  Like you're, you get a penalty, you're gone.
• 1:56:27
  Like you're out. Like sorry, like you don't get
• 1:56:32
  even if everybody else has penalties in 8th through 30th,
• 1:56:36
  like you're not going to get moved back up because they're
• 1:56:39
  not going to get tested. So anyway, I think that's it.
• 1:56:45
  John will be a crash. That's right, he'll be a crash.
• 1:56:49
  We'll be live streaming it and. Drinking milk and C4.
• 1:56:54
  Basically a tune up for Syndicate, and I just like Crash
• 1:56:57
  Crescendo is for the teams kind of a tune up for Syndicate.
• 1:57:02
  This, this, It'll be the exact same deal for us.
• 1:57:05
  That's right. Be our our live test.
• 1:57:07
  All right, we'll see you guys next week.
