Ty Jenkins: "I was willing to forego my LCQ opportunity to go on this trip" · The Spin Podcast

• 0:32
  Welcome to the spin, Kevin Carrick is right.
• 0:37
  I bet it's John that's late. It was it was me this time.
• 0:42
  I apologize. It's.
• 0:43
  A good bet. Tyler was that.
• 0:47
  Morning. Am I out of sync again?
• 0:50
  You're really bad. It's literally the worst thing
• 0:53
  I've ever heard in my life. Like it's like your mic
• 0:58
  currently is worse than how Norcal was ran, that's how.
• 1:02
  Yeah, he got off on that one all right.
• 1:07
  We'll we'll bring it back. Maybe, maybe not.
• 1:10
  Maybe you need to start working on his muscle UPS.
• 1:13
  All right, well, we got the good show for you guys today, but on
• 1:17
  the far right, we have Mr. Ty Jenkins joining us.
• 1:21
  Welcome to the show. What's?
• 1:23
  Up thanks for having me on. Yeah, Tie, you qualify for the
• 1:28
  CrossFit Games and then what have you been doing the last few
• 1:31
  weeks? You've were you actually
• 1:33
  training for the Games or or going vacationing?
• 1:36
  So I came back and did like some very easy training for about a
• 1:41
  week and then last weekend I went down to Peru with the
• 1:45
  Mayhem Missions team for a short little 2 1/2 day trip and then
• 1:51
  just got back Sunday and games training started Monday.
• 1:54
  So we're getting after it now. OK, well what?
• 1:58
  Who all went down to Peru with you?
• 2:01
  So the Mayhem missions team has a has a pretty big staff, but as
• 2:06
  far as CrossFit athletes, it was Camilla who just qualified out
• 2:12
  of Copa Sur and then Fee and Luke Parker and then Jorge
• 2:18
  Fernandez, Rebecca Devine and then Bella Martin was down there
• 2:22
  as well. It's.
• 2:23
  Quite the crew. How'd you get connected with
• 2:25
  them on doing Mayhem mission? Is is that something you've been
• 2:28
  part of for a while, or is that something that's new?
• 2:31
  No, this is the first one I've been on.
• 2:33
  I got to know Luke in 2022. I stayed with him when I was
• 2:38
  training out at Mayhem. And then Fee was asked to go on
• 2:44
  the trip and was asked if anyone else she knew would be
• 2:47
  interested and she threw my name in there and that they were
• 2:50
  happy to extend the invite to me and I'm super grateful for that.
• 2:55
  Tyler, are you fixed? Who knows?
• 3:02
  Try your computer audio, Tyler. What?
• 3:07
  What? That's not going to matter.
• 3:10
  I. Mean it can't.
• 3:12
  It can't be worse. What is it doing?
• 3:17
  I am sorry, I should have told you.
• 3:18
  Tyler is not the biggest fan of yours and I did not think he was
• 3:23
  going to try to sabotage. Your.
• 3:25
  Your first appearance on here, that's much better.
• 3:28
  How is that better? Your connection?
• 3:30
  Your. Connection.
• 3:31
  You got to check your connection.
• 3:32
  Completely better. Computer, it's not plugged in
• 3:36
  all the way or something. It's.
• 3:38
  Not plugged in all the way. Well, my mic's working.
• 3:40
  So did going back to go ahead, going back to Peru after you
• 3:48
  qualified, were there any reservations about not going to?
• 3:53
  Peru. To to Peru, like after you
• 3:55
  qualified for the games, were you like, it's a little bit I
• 3:59
  should be games. Training.
• 4:01
  No, actually I like committed to this trip in April and it was
• 4:07
  the weekend of last chance and I was willing to forgo my last
• 4:10
  chance qualifier opportunity to go on this trip.
• 4:15
  The the trip was presented to me and then the next day I show up
• 4:19
  to church and it it's just a message about giving.
• 4:23
  And it totally convicted me. Just like not all giving is
• 4:26
  money and to donate my time and energy and potentially a chance
• 4:30
  at a CrossFit Games ticket to the last chance qualifier to
• 4:33
  help these people out and get them to hear the gospel was
• 4:36
  totally worth it in my mind. So I I was in the trip, no
• 4:40
  matter what happened, that's in the kit.
• 4:43
  Yeah, I think that's what that's what kind of what Luke did too,
• 4:45
  right? Like he was, you know, he could
• 4:47
  have done the Last Chance qualifier, but he had committed
• 4:49
  to it. So no, it's very cool that you
• 4:52
  guys go real quick. Lee Frazier 1999 Please buy
• 4:57
  Tyler a new company. He's got to do he's he's got to
• 5:00
  do 40 ring muscle UPS in 5 minutes for a new.
• 5:02
  It's not even the computer at this point, it's everything
• 5:05
  else. That's God.
• 5:06
  I can't win for losing this past two weeks.
• 5:13
  Going into the season, did you have like, obviously you want to
• 5:17
  go to the CrossFit game? What was that like the main goal
• 5:22
  or was it just let's just get better and see where the cards
• 5:25
  fall? If you're gonna be completely
• 5:27
  honest, Yeah. Yeah.
• 5:30
  So this last season I was looking for a change of coach
• 5:34
  and one of the highest things on the list of things I was looking
• 5:37
  for was someone who believes as much as I could that the games
• 5:40
  were in the cards this year. So I guess to answer your
• 5:44
  question, I wasn't certain. I wasn't 1000% certain that it
• 5:49
  was going to happen, but especially after the flow of the
• 5:51
  season came out and then we're looking at in person qualifiers
• 5:55
  after the best make it online, then I really thought there was
• 6:00
  a chance. And so I went into syndicate
• 6:03
  like feeling like I was going to puke a week out because I knew
• 6:06
  there was a chance and so put a lot of pressure on myself to to
• 6:10
  make it happen. But yeah, I would say I knew
• 6:12
  there was a chance. I wasn't.
• 6:14
  I wouldn't have put a whole lot of money on it, but I definitely
• 6:16
  knew there was a chance and that was the goal.
• 6:18
  You should stop listening to John for those all that pressure
• 6:22
  he puts on you. I'm.
• 6:23
  The one who told him it was possible.
• 6:24
  He exactly that's you should you should.
• 6:27
  Start with you weren't going to go to syndicate.
• 6:29
  That's what you should have started, right?
• 6:31
  Because you know why he wasn't going to go to syndicate?
• 6:33
  Because he didn't believe in himself.
• 6:36
  I was going to go to Norcal because I thought Syndicate
• 6:39
  would be more stacked, but thank you John for convincing me to go
• 6:42
  to Syndicate. How do you think you would have
• 6:44
  fared in Norcal amidst amidst all the hoopla?
• 6:49
  It was kind of high skill, so maybe good, but it's hard to
• 6:51
  tell because it seemed like there was a lot going on.
• 6:54
  I didn't keep up perfectly with it so.
• 6:56
  That's a little way to not support the team.
• 6:59
  I appreciate that time. Hey, you came up for the first
• 7:02
  one. Yeah, talk, talk about that.
• 7:05
  Like you, you went, you did the World Fitness Project Tour 1,
• 7:11
  then you turn around and go to syndicate.
• 7:12
  But at some point like when did you make that decision to say
• 7:16
  let's go to syndicate? Like was it a couple weeks out?
• 7:20
  Is it after they saw the workouts so.
• 7:23
  I mean, as soon as I got my invite, I'd accepted it and it
• 7:26
  was more of when was I going to let them know I wasn't going
• 7:30
  because I just had to choose. Obviously going to Norcal,
• 7:34
  back-to-back weekends, you're not going to perform 100% at
• 7:37
  Norcal. And I think I made the decision
• 7:39
  about two weeks out that I was going to stay in for Syndicate,
• 7:44
  which is better late than never. So then I got all my travel
• 7:46
  booked and headed up there and just decided it was it was time
• 7:50
  to go. I think when they released the
• 7:52
  workouts was when I decided. Because.
• 7:56
  You're such a big fan of Jr. Yeah, I love J Rs programming.
• 8:00
  No, it was really because there wasn't a Max lift along with
• 8:05
  heavy Isabel that was one of the leading ones.
• 8:07
  With knowing it was only going to be 6 events I was like a Max
• 8:11
  lift could be detrimental so I just kind of waiting to see.
• 8:18
  That's fair. What what is what was Torres
• 8:21
  kind of guiding you through on that?
• 8:22
  Like what is, what is that relationship like when it comes
• 8:25
  to like you're where you are in your.
• 8:29
  I think, I don't think Torres is.
• 8:32
  His coach. No, I work with Jayden.
• 8:36
  Oh, do you OK. But I mean, Torres watches me
• 8:39
  train in person every day. And he absolutely had a, you
• 8:43
  know, a seat at the table when we were discussing that stuff.
• 8:46
  And once those workouts were released and there was nothing
• 8:50
  like weird, he was like, let's go, this is your chance.
• 8:54
  Because like with Norcal, you can always count on something
• 8:57
  unique and that can be good or bad.
• 8:59
  And so when Syndicate was more just classic looking CrossFit,
• 9:04
  we decided to go all in for it. If you would have murdered a
• 9:08
  Norcal. Well, and he or Norcal would
• 9:12
  have murdered him just you know. But he, I'm pretty sure Ty
• 9:17
  didn't even book his flight to Norcal.
• 9:20
  He was like, all the chips are going to be in Syndicate.
• 9:22
  I don't even want to have that in the back of my mind.
• 9:24
  Yep, Yep, that's true. You're.
• 9:26
  Plan B. Nope, and it's going to be a
• 9:29
  really expensive Plan B if I didn't make it happen.
• 9:33
  You should tell them about the college thing Ty.
• 9:37
  Oh yeah, so are you? Allowed to.
• 9:38
  Are you allowed to like, say that?
• 9:40
  Yeah, I can say that I. Don't want to make Mama Jenkins
• 9:43
  mad? So I've been doing classes
• 9:47
  online. I've started my but I've always
• 9:50
  disliked school but I decided it was a smart thing to do was to
• 9:54
  start studying so I did. But I also like I I've been also
• 9:59
  been learning paintless dirt repair.
• 10:01
  So I kind of have like 3 things going on and one of them has to
• 10:04
  give because it's been so much. And so I made a joke with my mom
• 10:08
  earlier this year around the open.
• 10:11
  I told her if I made the games, can I not go back to college
• 10:15
  next year? And, you know, she was like,
• 10:17
  there's no chance. And she didn't believe in him at
• 10:20
  all, no. Chance you qualify.
• 10:23
  So I mean, the last two or the last three weeks or so, I've
• 10:28
  slowly been wrapping my head around the idea that I might go
• 10:31
  back for another semester. But my immediate thought was
• 10:34
  thank goodness I'm done with college.
• 10:36
  But I probably need to while it's cheap and while I can.
• 10:41
  Joe B499. Thank you Joe.
• 10:43
  Ty Jenkins needs to wear a Superman suit in one of the
• 10:46
  events. Big Superman fan.
• 10:49
  I don't, I don't know, not not particularly, but I look like
• 10:54
  Superman or I don't know. Who's the Who's the bad guy from
• 10:59
  Incredibles? What's his name or syndrome?
• 11:05
  Syndrome. Syndrome.
• 11:07
  Yeah, you do. You do look like Sandra.
• 11:09
  You do. Favorite syndrome?
• 11:10
  A little. I'll take that.
• 11:12
  It's it's, it's the smile you got, you got, you got these big
• 11:15
  teeth. And like, that's why it's it's.
• 11:18
  It's. Looking at syndicate, like
• 11:23
  obviously you were, you were in the hunt most of the time.
• 11:26
  What was that Saturday night going, you know, going to bed
• 11:31
  knowing that you're, you know, you're right on the verge of
• 11:33
  qualifying if you do have a 2 good final events.
• 11:37
  Like. What was that night like?
• 11:39
  Saturday night was fine. The events were so late I tended
• 11:43
  to be able to go to bed well, like easily.
• 11:46
  But then it was the getting up at 7:00 AM Sunday and having to
• 11:49
  kill 5 hours before I could even think about going to warm up.
• 11:52
  That was when I was just like so nervous trying to distract
• 11:56
  myself. Obviously you know, the
• 11:58
  preparation was in. I was confident in my ability in
• 12:01
  the events, but there's still always something could go wrong
• 12:04
  or or I might just not have enough.
• 12:06
  And so it was, it was stressful. It was by far the most stressful
• 12:10
  comp I've ever done. But I loved like that, that
• 12:13
  stress, then you go out on the floor and that just turns into
• 12:15
  adrenaline and energy. And it was awesome.
• 12:18
  Yeah, well, what was your mindset going into the final
• 12:22
  event? Like did you have a plan to to
• 12:24
  just go out? Were you looking at where Luke
• 12:27
  was, where Jack was? Did you know what you needed to
• 12:30
  do? So I was, I set myself up to
• 12:36
  pace the first half and then burn it down in the second-half
• 12:39
  and try to catch, catch up to both of them.
• 12:43
  But in my mind, I was like, they are the ones who have to take a
• 12:46
  risk. I can't dilly dally and you
• 12:49
  know, go super slow. But they're the ones who have to
• 12:51
  take a risk and try to beat me. So I run my race on this.
• 12:55
  I don't do something that would be dumb for me like trying to
• 12:58
  hold on to that first sandbag and then we'll do the
• 13:02
  second-half of the workout and hopefully have the gas to go
• 13:04
  touch. We go on the last 9, which I
• 13:06
  didn't but thankfully didn't need to.
• 13:10
  But it was just stay ahead of Luke and Jack or one or the
• 13:13
  other and I knew I had it. So then after the bar muscle up
• 13:17
  when I beat Luke to the bag and then I like saw his judge only
• 13:21
  put one finger down after his first sandbag clean like he
• 13:24
  didn't hold on to it. I knew it was over then, I just
• 13:26
  had to stay on it so. Is my mic better now?
• 13:31
  It is. OK, sweet.
• 13:33
  That was so that event like you really had to go all out and it
• 13:38
  was sort of like a defining event amongst that competition.
• 13:42
  Like to me, it was the IT was the staple of like, I am
• 13:45
  definitely able to go to the games.
• 13:47
  And Ty, to be honest with you, my faith in teen athletes is is
• 13:54
  a little lower. And I was not expecting you to
• 13:57
  just hang on and really like push everybody on that.
• 14:01
  And the moment that you came across the line, I just said, I
• 14:04
  said to whoever was next to me, I was like, I was totally wrong
• 14:06
  about Ty. Like you totally showed me up.
• 14:08
  So that was it was an amazing moment to watch.
• 14:13
  I I appreciate that. I'm glad I.
• 14:15
  What? Proved you wrong there.
• 14:19
  Your mic's messing up, baby. I so I mean to to Tyler's point,
• 14:28
  I think that is an event to prove like not that I'm fit
• 14:31
  enough, but I'm strong enough to go to the games because
• 14:35
  strength's always been your limiter.
• 14:36
  I would argue you probably had games lungs for a few years, but
• 14:41
  you look at what that event did to George Sterner.
• 14:44
  I think you a year ago would have been right with George
• 14:48
  Sterner. And like, it's not it's not that
• 14:51
  you have you have to have this overwhelming strength, but you
• 14:54
  do have to be strong enough. And like all it doesn't, it's
• 14:58
  not a barbell, but your strength gains over the last year or two
• 15:04
  I think showed through in that last event just to be strong
• 15:07
  enough to make the games. Vicky Dollar 99 towards a new
• 15:13
  mic cable for Tyler needs a lot of things.
• 15:16
  Give it up there. Was I the only guy in that last
• 15:18
  heat who broke the rings twice? I was thinking about that.
• 15:21
  Oh, no, a lot of people, a lot of people were breaking,
• 15:23
  breaking up a lot. They're a lot more than we
• 15:25
  thought they were going to. Maybe in your little like
• 15:28
  triumvirate, but a lot of people were breaking up a lot.
• 15:31
  Yeah, I know it was. I think people heard what Taylor
• 15:35
  had said, right? Like, oh, he's going unbroken on
• 15:38
  the on everything, and he's just burning it down.
• 15:40
  And like, yes, Taylor could do that, but not everybody is
• 15:45
  Taylor on those specific movements.
• 15:48
  I think Taylor was uniquely would have had like a top score
• 15:51
  at the games in that event. So like whenever they well, I
• 15:55
  mean, like when we heard his test scores, we expected more of
• 15:58
  like the field. But no, it turned out like, you
• 16:01
  know, he would have been with like Dallon and Jason in that
• 16:04
  event, you know, and you guys aren't Dallon and Jason, no
• 16:09
  offense. So.
• 16:15
  So now you're back in Jacksonville.
• 16:18
  Is it similar to Brute? Like we talked about talked last
• 16:22
  year, everybody does the kind of individualized programming, but
• 16:26
  you're kind of you're work, you're with Fee, my dogs are
• 16:29
  losing their mind, You're with Fee, you're with Dallin, but
• 16:32
  you're kind of doing your own track for the most part.
• 16:35
  Yeah, especially having a different coach, we kind of just
• 16:39
  all coexist in the gym. And then occasionally we'll hit
• 16:42
  like today down and I did a very similar piece that we had one or
• 16:47
  two movements differently, but still got to throw down a little
• 16:50
  bit. And as we approach the games,
• 16:52
  we'll do that a little more just to, you know, be competitive,
• 16:56
  bring the intensity up. But typically, yeah, we're not.
• 17:00
  We're not always doing every training piece together.
• 17:04
  Is that do you like that like kind of, I mean do you have
• 17:08
  anybody training with you or are you just on your own?
• 17:11
  Like does anybody else jump in and do those same pieces?
• 17:14
  Not really. I had a my buddy Landon Ryan
• 17:17
  drove down. He lives a couple hours away and
• 17:19
  did one with me Monday. And that was the first time in a
• 17:22
  long time someone's got a workout with me, which is nice.
• 17:24
  But when I was back in Missouri, for the most part of my team
• 17:29
  career, I trained alone. So just being in the gym with
• 17:32
  other people is nice and, and just being able to see how, even
• 17:36
  if we're not doing the same workout, just how Dowling moves,
• 17:38
  how he attacks things, how he transitions, how he doesn't ever
• 17:42
  rest, it feels like. So there's just, there's things
• 17:45
  like that that you still learn even though you're not directly
• 17:48
  throwing down every day. Is there a game plan to get you
• 17:52
  a girl to train, to train with? To train with?
• 17:55
  Not not Yeah, Yeah, Like not. And maybe even if it's not for
• 17:59
  this game season to like next year, to have like somebody to
• 18:02
  go head to head with just because those relationships have
• 18:04
  shown to be beneficial. I think eventually there's, I
• 18:09
  don't think there's a plan in place, but eventually like the
• 18:13
  goal would be for me to go back to the Midwest and hopefully
• 18:17
  find someone willing to go there and then train together.
• 18:22
  I wish you and Lydia Fish would be training partners.
• 18:25
  I think that would be amazing. You'd have to move up north.
• 18:29
  Yeah, isn't she? Is she Wisconsin or or Michigan?
• 18:32
  I mean, she can move down South, man.
• 18:34
  That's that's it's. I think she has a fiance and a
• 18:37
  house so she's a little more anchored.
• 18:39
  Down you're training partners. I think that fiance would
• 18:42
  understand. Are we games athletes or not?
• 18:45
  Is this is this your career or not?
• 18:47
  OK, it's for work. If you had, have you had talks
• 18:50
  with Dallon? Because Dallon seemed to
• 18:53
  transition probably one of the best.
• 18:55
  He never seemed to have gotten burnout like some of the other
• 18:57
  teams athletes, teen athletes did.
• 18:59
  Have you had talks with him and Jason about like managing that
• 19:02
  or is it just? It's not something that's really
• 19:07
  come up in in my life because I think I do a good job of not
• 19:10
  making CrossFit my purpose. And I think that's where these
• 19:13
  other teams struggle is that they like define themselves by
• 19:16
  their performance in CrossFit. And I think that's what leads to
• 19:19
  burnout. And I I think down and I've
• 19:24
  talked a little bit, it's like every summer training for the
• 19:26
  Games is hard. But we've never had moments
• 19:30
  where I want to quit the sport because ultimately it's, it's
• 19:35
  just not everything means a lot to us, but it's not everything.
• 19:40
  Could you see how that could change though?
• 19:42
  Maybe like for some, once they do get to that games and it's
• 19:45
  like they've been there, now it's all in, you see the
• 19:50
  improvement and then people just maybe lose sight of that.
• 19:54
  Is that maybe why a lot of some of the why some of those
• 19:57
  athletes end up burning out? Yeah, I mean, I someone who I
• 20:02
  think I'm pretty, pretty grounded and and who I am and
• 20:05
  not letting CrossFit define me. It's hard at times like it, it
• 20:10
  gets really hard to not let this sport define you and it's all
• 20:13
  you do every day. And especially for me when I
• 20:16
  move 1000 miles away from home to do this full time.
• 20:20
  And there are moments where it's hard.
• 20:22
  But I still don't think I've ever been close to that point
• 20:25
  where I hate the sport so much I want to get out of it or or I'm
• 20:29
  hating training so much I want to get out of it.
• 20:31
  Because I think Dowling just does a good job of making like
• 20:36
  it. There's there's more outside of
• 20:38
  training down here. Like we hang out just as friends
• 20:41
  sometimes, which is awesome. So.
• 20:43
  More you said there's, you know, bit CrossFit isn't everything.
• 20:47
  So is the more the bit, the larger thing in your life, the
• 20:51
  the faith part of your life? Yeah, yeah, for sure.
• 20:56
  I mean, I think like there, there was a moment where I
• 21:01
  didn't, even after having some success as a teen, where I still
• 21:04
  didn't know what I wanted to do with my life.
• 21:07
  And ultimately it was like my purpose is to, you know, put God
• 21:13
  on the pedestal pedestal and use whatever gifts he's given me.
• 21:16
  And so using CrossFit as a vessel for that keeps it where
• 21:19
  like CrossFit is, is something I do, but I, it still doesn't
• 21:23
  define me or it's like, that's my purpose.
• 21:25
  That's what means more to me. That's why I'm willing to go to
• 21:27
  to Peru instead of having a chance at the last chance
• 21:32
  qualifier had I needed it. It's interesting to think about
• 21:38
  that because Rich, Rich notoriously like that, that's
• 21:42
  the larger piece of his life, is his Faith Dallin I would say the
• 21:45
  same thing, but Emma Carey, It seemed like Faith was the thing
• 21:50
  that that made her leave it, which I guess is true for Rich
• 21:55
  for, you know, like 6 months. Yeah.
• 22:00
  But yeah, it's just interesting. I think there's I think there's
• 22:04
  a point where you can be aware if it's if it's taking away from
• 22:07
  other parts of your life and still step away respectfully in
• 22:11
  that. And obviously, I don't know what
• 22:13
  all goes on with Emma Carry, but it was almost like a she had
• 22:16
  gotten to the point where Faith is still so much more important
• 22:19
  to her and CrossFit was taking away from that for her.
• 22:23
  And for me, it's just been something to, to further my
• 22:26
  ability to, to share what I love with people.
• 22:28
  And so they've, they've Co aligned and it's been great.
• 22:31
  But yeah, I see. I see what you're saying.
• 22:35
  Grant said that CrossFit defines him and he's barely average.
• 22:40
  Emphasis on barely. Kevin Carrick has a good
• 22:44
  question. Is tie a button up or polo guy
• 22:47
  to church? Polo for sure.
• 22:50
  I I'm not sweating through some button UPS in here in
• 22:52
  Jacksonville, FL. It's 98° at 9:00.
• 22:56
  AMI have I have 3 polos and I just recycled them.
• 23:01
  I I don't and that's it like that I don't.
• 23:03
  I have 3 and my wife knows exactly all three of them and
• 23:06
  others wear them once a week and we just rotate.
• 23:10
  If I if I start going back to church, I'm suiting up for sure
• 23:14
  turn into one of those guys. The sewer sucker suit.
• 23:17
  Yeah, yeah. As you should.
• 23:21
  I appreciate it man. Good luck with your training and
• 23:25
  go get him at the games. So Talon says what 42 more, 43
• 23:30
  more days? Yeah, it's get, it's getting
• 23:32
  close. It's getting close.
• 23:34
  So awesome. Crazy.
• 23:36
  It's like 6 more Mondays I think is what we're talking about this
• 23:39
  last Monday. So it's crazy.
• 23:42
  What were you gonna say? I said I'm just excited to see
• 23:45
  you in Albany. Yeah, let's go where I assume
• 23:48
  you all be there. I will be.
• 23:53
  John has confirmed the other two are not he's.
• 23:56
  Putting the heat on. I didn't know if I was allowed
• 23:58
  to say you guys weren't going, but as of right now I'm the only
• 24:01
  one going. We're working it out.
• 24:03
  I like and I'll be a part of this Avanti.
• 24:05
  I was like ready to like, you know, we're just do what we did
• 24:08
  last year, but you know, it's going to be a little bit better
• 24:10
  than last year for obvious reasons.
• 24:12
  And then they're like, hey, we're not doing anything.
• 24:16
  I'm like, I'm like, all right, Savon.
• 24:18
  Well, you know, whatever you need, I'll be we'll.
• 24:21
  Be doing stuff we just we'll be doing.
• 24:22
  Stuff just yeah, that's. Right.
• 24:25
  So gotcha. Gotcha.
• 24:27
  Either way. All right, man.
• 24:28
  Well, I appreciate it and good luck out there.
• 24:31
  Yeah, thanks for having me on. See y'all.
• 24:32
  Bye, Ty Jenkins, Tyler. Yeah, yeah, you don't sound
• 24:41
  terrible. It's it's going through this mic
• 24:44
  on the camera. It's the best I got right now,
• 24:47
  guys. I actually do.
• 24:48
  The computer's being great. It's my wife's Mac.
• 24:51
  But the for some reason I think it's like I wonder if my little
• 24:55
  dongle that takes all the USBCS got fried at at Syndicate
• 25:02
  because it's not been normal since we came back.
• 25:05
  Yes, you have if you yes, if you'd have the the mic plugged
• 25:08
  into like multiple, yes, it can easily happen.
• 25:11
  Yeah, so. Got to get a better dongle.
• 25:15
  You need a new dongle. All right, all right, we got
• 25:18
  some viewer comments that will be a reminder for you guys to
• 25:21
  subscribe. We're we're still approaching
• 25:24
  the 10,000 mark. We're just slow and steady.
• 25:27
  We might get there by 2027. We'll talk about some last
• 25:31
  chance qualifiers. I have a good blind rankings for
• 25:33
  you guys and then some guardrails for the season.
• 25:37
  All right, first one, actually we have two of them before I
• 25:40
  pause. First one's from Kathy Stan.
• 25:43
  In regards to Norcal getting a semi final next year, you're all
• 25:47
  assuming the qualifying process will be the same.
• 25:50
  If CrossFit is true to form, there's zero chance of that.
• 25:53
  It won't be. That's excellent, Fairpoint.
• 25:59
  Yeah, and Phil de Pooper said calm down, Tyler.
• 26:03
  All the qualifiers should be like Norcal.
• 26:06
  Nothing emulates real life more than uneven lanes.
• 26:09
  These athletes earn their way without all things equal.
• 26:12
  So I would argue that they overqualified.
• 26:15
  We need to quit pampering athletes.
• 26:18
  So what if someone had to run 6 feet further than someone else?
• 26:21
  Go faster. As for the weight change
• 26:24
  debacle, that falls on nobody but Nate.
• 26:27
  Maybe he should do some flash cards on the minute.
• 26:30
  I. Don't know.
• 26:33
  I don't know about that last part, but I don't know.
• 26:35
  This person just seems like they're angry.
• 26:38
  I I appreciate the arguments that you're making, but this is
• 26:43
  a qualification system to go to the games and where every second
• 26:46
  matters, every little inch counts.
• 26:48
  I I'm not going to get on the all lanes can just be whatever.
• 26:52
  That makes zero sense. And then I don't think I don't
• 26:57
  think it's totally on Nate. I'm not buying that.
• 26:59
  And I I think I I said something to that effect to the Norcal
• 27:02
  guys on Hiller show. Like it's not that not all on
• 27:06
  Nate. And I think that's a cop out.
• 27:08
  I do think it's like 80% on Nate though.
• 27:11
  No, I would say I would not 40. I I think you just say no, I'll
• 27:21
  just clean the heavier weight and then do it and then you're
• 27:23
  fine. What Ilya did.
• 27:27
  Ilya didn't know well the. You're right.
• 27:30
  Blair, Blair, William fixed the IT didn't wait on the 1st going.
• 27:33
  On, Ilya didn't know what was going on at all.
• 27:35
  He just walked up and was like, I guess we're doing this now.
• 27:38
  And then he did it like there wasn't no like, Are you sure?
• 27:41
  I think it was little Blues, that thing said little Blues,
• 27:44
  like he just did OK, and then he lifted the weight.
• 27:48
  I'm just saying, you know, you just lift whatever you put on
• 27:51
  there. He could have put a white and a
• 27:53
  little blue on. It's still more than the weight
• 27:55
  that's prescribed. Like would have saved that.
• 28:02
  One thing I don't think anybody. Best take This is the best take.
• 28:07
  It is easier. I don't think anything was ever
• 28:12
  talked about, but I thought it was interesting that Blair is
• 28:16
  like Ilia goes to CrossFit anywhere I.
• 28:22
  Just know that. Ilya goes to whatever CrossFit
• 28:27
  anywhere or anywhere CrossFit or fitness or whatever it is.
• 28:31
  Blair's yes. Yeah, but Blair's not his coach.
• 28:37
  OK, it's. Not like they he just, you know,
• 28:41
  works out there. Right, I was pro putting plates
• 28:49
  on for Ilya because he doesn't speak English.
• 28:51
  Good. It's the wrong plates, but what
• 28:55
  are you freaking talking about? Thai.
• 28:59
  Yeah, but the whole idea was that Ilya didn't understand what
• 29:02
  plates you're supposed to put on him, Blair.
• 29:03
  And neither did Blair. Leave him.
• 29:05
  Well, that's. True, that's a whole different
• 29:08
  problem, but or they were the only.
• 29:10
  Two that understood. Who was?
• 29:14
  It was supposed to be. It was supposed to be 325.
• 29:16
  Right, Blair, Blair and Elia, that's what I'm saying.
• 29:18
  Or they were the only two that understood.
• 29:21
  Good, that matters. Because you know what people
• 29:25
  people are good at math in other places and America should be
• 29:28
  better. Yeah, this is what I'm trying
• 29:29
  to. Say make math.
• 29:30
  Great. It feels icky.
• 29:33
  I yeah, I didn't, I didn't like that.
• 29:37
  I knew that last year when he was going there.
• 29:42
  I it it just didn't didn't rub me the right way to drew peanuts
• 29:48
  JY Barbell shout out week two of the program a plus.
• 29:53
  I I don't know who this is. It's.
• 29:57
  Just the find out two weeks ago. I'm gonna guess it's it's
• 30:00
  Benjamin, but if I'm wrong on that, I'm sorry.
• 30:04
  I wouldn't. Say his name is Drew.
• 30:05
  But it could. It could just guess it.
• 30:07
  I don't have a drew. It could be one of three people
• 30:11
  and I'm going to guess it's it's Ben McNeese.
• 30:16
  But thank you. Yeah, hop on the train.
• 30:18
  DM me if you if you want to get strong.
• 30:21
  Yeah, that is a good point, Crossfat.
• 30:24
  Let's see. Oh, also Phil de Pooper says
• 30:28
  also buy your own computer, Tyler.
• 30:30
  There's no way you have 50 muscle UPS.
• 30:32
  Yeah, I so I don't. I tried to tell you 50 was too
• 30:37
  many. You guys just kept just.
• 30:39
  Freaking everybody was throwing out.
• 30:41
  No, I, I was saying, dude, he can't do 50 and then and then
• 30:45
  like you're like, I don't want to do it now.
• 30:47
  I'm like, OK, go ahead. Like I think 40 is the correct
• 30:53
  number in five. Here's the thing.
• 30:57
  I know that I can do 30 ring muscle UPS in 5 minutes.
• 31:00
  I can do. 40 in five I think. That's what I'm saying.
• 31:03
  And so it's it's like 32 small. I think 40 is a great number.
• 31:09
  Yeah, I can try that. The so I did the Community Cup
• 31:14
  last week. A lot more people did that than
• 31:17
  I expected. Like it was.
• 31:19
  It was pretty blessed with people there.
• 31:21
  Wasn't a ton of marketing. There wasn't a ton of marketing
• 31:23
  on it. No, and I did it because Mayhem
• 31:26
  programmed it. I did not sign up, so sorry
• 31:27
  about that. But I did do the workouts and
• 31:31
  there was a ring muscle up overhead squat workout.
• 31:35
  No, sorry. I did the last chance qualifier
• 31:38
  workout, the 185. Sorry.
• 31:41
  There wasn't. There wasn't a lot of marketing
• 31:43
  on that either. Oh my God 9/12/15 overheads or
• 31:53
  ring muscle UPS. Overheads.
• 31:54
  Hold on. No, I just did the class
• 31:56
  workout. That's what it was.
• 31:57
  It was just the class workout for the day.
• 32:01
  It makes more sense why you didn't sign up for it.
• 32:03
  I was warming up and I was like OK, I'm going to do 5 every 30
• 32:07
  seconds for four rounds and see what that feels like.
• 32:11
  Got 3 rounds in and was like I'm going to try this last one and
• 32:15
  then that last one. I was like I'm fucked for 50.
• 32:18
  There's no way I can do it. Look who's up coffee pots and
• 32:26
  what's why is he up so late? Why are you up?
• 32:30
  It's what, midnight over there? Children, children is the
• 32:33
  answer. Maybe I know he's going to like
• 32:36
  cross the drums. He's.
• 32:37
  In he's in Birmingham. Yeah, sounds nice.
• 32:41
  Birmingham, England. Yes.
• 32:43
  Same same time zone. Something like that, let's see
• 32:49
  at Jar Jar loves CrossFit. Sad I miss this live but I 100%
• 32:54
  agree with Tyler in all areas. And Jared Greyville said Tyler
• 32:59
  was on it today, so everybody liked your rants, so got that
• 33:04
  going for you. You'll have another one coming
• 33:06
  in four to six months. Yeah, at Jr.
• 33:10
  Gills time stamped an hour and 3 minutes and 6 seconds.
• 33:15
  Oh wait, so Tyler really didn't love Norcal?
• 33:18
  Forwarded 6 months. What is?
• 33:20
  What is in? Four, he only gets he only gets
• 33:22
  angry every like 2 to three times every year.
• 33:25
  I got you. I got you.
• 33:26
  That's right, that. Could that could be more like 2
• 33:28
  to 3 now that you have a child? That's true.
• 33:31
  I am. Yeah.
• 33:34
  Way more. Yeah, yeah, I find myself very
• 33:40
  calm, cool, collected, but then just snap so much.
• 33:45
  Not, not quicker, 'cause I was always a quick snapper and I'm
• 33:48
  quick to snap out of it as well, but so much more frequently.
• 33:53
  Does that make sense? We went to Chicago for the High
• 33:57
  Rocks Worlds. My wife and her sister qualified
• 34:04
  and bronze of a month old and by the.
• 34:09
  Jeanette and Janelle, Yeah. Did I see that Janelle was
• 34:12
  pregnant? She is so that's what's crazy is
• 34:16
  because Jeanette was like in her second trimester when she did
• 34:19
  high rocks with her sister and then now the the roles have been
• 34:22
  reversed and what's nuts is they only got 30 seconds slower.
• 34:27
  Jeanette being 4 weeks postpartum and Janelle being in
• 34:31
  the. Depth 4 weeks part of.
• 34:33
  Four weeks, part of. But anyway, there were so many
• 34:40
  moments where people would just like I was ready to hit people
• 34:45
  in the face immediately. CrossFit might have just outed
• 34:54
  himself. I think I know who you are now
• 34:57
  is. It Shane.
• 35:00
  I don't think it's Shane. It's not Shane.
• 35:02
  It's not Shane, it's obviously I he doesn't like me so if he's
• 35:05
  over at team proven, just think who doesn't like me.
• 35:09
  There's a lot to. Learn.
• 35:10
  But he has said that before to me before.
• 35:15
  If it's Kiefer, I'm going to be very upset because I thought me,
• 35:19
  I thought me and Kiefer were cool and this whoever this dude
• 35:23
  is, he like, he like, he like really doesn't like me.
• 35:25
  So I I don't know if I rubbed anybody the wrong way over
• 35:29
  there. I've said 2 words to Nick and
• 35:32
  they were both. What's up?
• 35:35
  Yeah, that's it. So anyway, high rocks, Tyler.
• 35:40
  Oh, I was just talking about how I was ready to go off on any
• 35:43
  anybody if they they slighted me in the in the in any kind of
• 35:47
  way. I was like in a way that I've
• 35:49
  never been like before. I'm usually very like able to
• 35:52
  handle just bullshit going on all the time.
• 35:54
  Here lately it's at an all time minimal.
• 35:58
  You get a homeless guy acting weird around me, I'm ready to
• 36:00
  kill him. How was the high rocks?
• 36:07
  We went on the Double S day, which was Sunday and everybody
• 36:13
  had kind of phased out. I did talk to Nick and he said
• 36:16
  that it was way the, the vibes were way more hype.
• 36:21
  The vibes were way more hype and a lot of people were there to
• 36:24
  watch Tia, a lot of people were there to watch Hunter.
• 36:28
  And so that that one was really, really big.
• 36:30
  We both went to the one before and so I trusted his sort of
• 36:35
  gauge on that. The the one I went to is a
• 36:38
  little bit more low key because it was the double S like
• 36:40
  basically there were no superstars there.
• 36:43
  Everybody there's really fit, but they're not they're like not
• 36:46
  the top 15 or whatever. And it was mostly just people
• 36:50
  there to compete or watch their, you know, whoever loved one
• 36:53
  compete so but it was still really cool.
• 36:55
  A lot of foreigners, a lot of Europeans, they.
• 36:59
  They made the trip to do. That yes, I, I mean like I would
• 37:03
  say over half the people there were European.
• 37:05
  European people love their endurance sports man.
• 37:08
  European people live for endurance well.
• 37:11
  I I get that. I was just curious, like if they
• 37:15
  traveled right. Like I, I wonder what high rocks
• 37:20
  last year, maybe not as it wasn't as big, Obviously it's
• 37:23
  growing, but how many people in the States who qualified made
• 37:27
  that trip to wherever it was last year in Europe?
• 37:33
  Yeah, it's a big commitment just to go race and finish 60th in
• 37:41
  your weight in your age group, right?
• 37:43
  Like, it's still pretty cool, don't get me wrong.
• 37:46
  But like, that's a big commitment to take yourself and
• 37:49
  maybe your family overseas to do that.
• 37:53
  Right. It it being worlds, I think
• 37:56
  there was a like a higher level of investment on that.
• 37:58
  I will say when we went to Chicago for the the qualifying
• 38:03
  event, it was mostly Americans. There were Europeans there, but
• 38:06
  it was mostly Americans. Yeah, a ton of Irish.
• 38:10
  I I notice now because I can, I can pick the accent out so much
• 38:14
  faster. Thanks, Pedro.
• 38:16
  And I was like, they're like 10,000 Irishmen here.
• 38:20
  And what the hell? And that and then the Irish are
• 38:22
  like the least endured of all the European countries, Like
• 38:26
  they're the worst cardio ones of all the European countries.
• 38:32
  Well, they they more of, of a drinking society.
• 38:35
  I think that contributes to their, you know, lack of cardio.
• 38:38
  I'm not one to talk but not with drinking but just lack of
• 38:41
  aerobic. Cardio.
• 38:42
  Yeah, Yeah, I don't think so. Did.
• 38:48
  I'm Scottish. What was it?
• 38:49
  What was the experience for those who were not running?
• 38:54
  Like, was there a vendor village?
• 38:55
  Was there anything to do other than stand there and watch
• 38:57
  people run? Couldn't tell you.
• 39:00
  I I had bronze strapped in my chest and it's loud as hell in
• 39:05
  there. I mean, take semi or take the
• 39:08
  old regionals days and put about 100 more decibels on there.
• 39:12
  And he was not like we got those little headphones, you know?
• 39:15
  Big headphones on him he was not.
• 39:17
  Having it, he was fighting me the whole time, so I was like,
• 39:19
  cool, I'll just fit. There's like this VIP area that
• 39:22
  I snuck into that I could see one like one part where they
• 39:27
  would run around the track and then they were gone.
• 39:29
  It is literally just like this. And then they were gone.
• 39:32
  And so I just sat there for 50 minutes.
• 39:37
  But they they reorganized their, their setup.
• 39:40
  Chicago. When I went to Chicago last
• 39:42
  time, it was a shit show. You had athletes and like
• 39:46
  regular, you know, just fans who are there to watch.
• 39:49
  They were all commingled and then like the eats would you
• 39:52
  know, you get in the the loading dock and the loading dock was
• 39:55
  like in with all the regular people and their warm up area
• 40:00
  was like in this this glass mezzanine or something.
• 40:04
  It was it was really cool. The warm up area is way more
• 40:08
  cool. I take that backspin.
• 40:09
  There was like a vendor village area.
• 40:11
  It was in like this domed. It looked like a Grand Central
• 40:18
  station from like the 40s or something.
• 40:20
  It was pretty neat. A lot more low key in there, but
• 40:25
  the vibes were pretty good. His I mean, it was really well
• 40:29
  run. It looked good, felt good.
• 40:31
  Oh yeah. But the the vendor village was
• 40:34
  sort of away from from stuff a little bit.
• 40:37
  It was like you went, as you walk through, you started in
• 40:40
  vendor village, they sort of forced you through that vendor
• 40:43
  village area to come in and check in and then you had to go
• 40:47
  back up into the athlete area and then into the main event
• 40:51
  space and. Then you leave, you go right
• 40:52
  back out the same yeah way. So you have to go.
• 40:55
  That's a good setup, I mean. Being at the Navy Pier is also
• 40:59
  clutch because there's like 18 places to eat at the Navy Pier
• 41:02
  and no one wants to travel far. And so, and it was, it's just,
• 41:06
  it's a good location. Yeah, I imagine it's hella
• 41:09
  expensive. Yeah, coffee pots and Watts.
• 41:13
  There's what usually Red Bull, Puma, Volitas and some protein
• 41:17
  company and a salt company with stands.
• 41:19
  Yeah, that's about it. OK, interesting.
• 41:24
  So that's it for viewer comments.
• 41:25
  Go subscribe. Help us get to 10,000 at some
• 41:28
  point. Where are we?
• 41:30
  Where are we at? We're at 9800 are.
• 41:34
  You kidding me? 200 more. 200 more.
• 41:38
  Let's see, where are we now? This is a. 98-O four, we gained
• 41:42
  one new subscriber. Because we were supposed to do a
• 41:46
  High Rocks race together and Tyler bailed.
• 41:49
  He did. And he left me with, he left me
• 41:52
  with Jason and Dallin, and they left me, period.
• 41:56
  And I do 1. With you, it was just me.
• 41:58
  You were supposed to do one with me there, man.
• 42:00
  And and and then he just, he, he just bailed on it.
• 42:05
  And then freaking Jason's already done with his ice bath
• 42:08
  by the time I'm on the wall balls.
• 42:10
  And it was. It was.
• 42:10
  It was not. It was not a fun time for me.
• 42:15
  Pedro is close, he's right behind us on subscribers.
• 42:20
  I remember when he beat us to 5000 and then we passed him.
• 42:26
  So if you're already subscribing here, go give Pedro a follow,
• 42:30
  get him close but not pass us. That'd be cool.
• 42:33
  Objects are closer than they appear though.
• 42:35
  I like Judy's idea. Just have everybody in the
• 42:37
  family just go subscribe, even if you.
• 42:39
  Yeah, yeah, whoever you know, all the people who watch,
• 42:43
  they're clearly subscribe. We have like a 97% subscription
• 42:46
  rate. One of the, you know, I know one
• 42:50
  of the tops in all of you, one of the tops in all of YouTube,
• 42:52
  go to your significant other and say, hey, can you just do this
• 42:56
  favor for me? You don't even got to watch
• 42:58
  them. Just hit, just hit play every
• 43:00
  night and then just go do something else.
• 43:02
  We like you could, if you have to listen with noise on 'cause I
• 43:05
  know I have to do this, then you could just let us play and you
• 43:08
  fall asleep. I watch.
• 43:10
  I watch the freaking child predators getting caught.
• 43:14
  And it puts me to sleep knowing that justice is being served.
• 43:19
  And that's, yeah, that's. Right.
• 43:24
  I know actually Domo Roderick, the meme for Time guy, he would
• 43:30
  go watch all of his stuff and like let the commercials run
• 43:33
  just to help him like his channel.
• 43:36
  Yeah, like I'm getting a full view and all the commercials.
• 43:39
  I know that was part of the Liver King documentary.
• 43:41
  He had like screens up and he was just playing his own stuff
• 43:44
  on Instagram. That's how you get to.
• 43:49
  Add subscribers dedication. That is good.
• 43:53
  I was like, I just buy the views.
• 43:55
  I'm not. I'm not going to have my.
• 43:56
  Shit running all day. Dude, I saw I saw a YouTube
• 44:01
  channel. Do you think how is it possible?
• 44:04
  I don't know how the whole views buying thing is works, but can
• 44:08
  you buy like a small amount of views and like a big amount of
• 44:11
  views? Are they like different prices?
• 44:13
  Like if you had like 12 views on a YouTube video and then like
• 44:17
  like that it was like 800 or something like that.
• 44:19
  Are you able to do that like a small amount too?
• 44:23
  Yes. Do you which one?
• 44:24
  I I feel like if I was gonna put YouTube I would wanna go like
• 44:27
  20,000. YouTube will go catch them like
• 44:31
  a lot of times they'll find them if it's not legitimate.
• 44:34
  So it'll show up really big and then it'll start to go back
• 44:37
  down. So it's not, it's not worth it,
• 44:41
  especially on like the live side.
• 44:44
  They'll they'll, they'll catch those for sure.
• 44:46
  I Hitler bought me followers on JY barbell like without telling
• 44:50
  me just to freak me out and I hate it because like I have a
• 44:55
  lot of people have followed JY barbell and I have no idea what
• 44:58
  the actual. Number.
• 45:00
  Is 'cause it's just a bunch of Indian people like that.
• 45:03
  I don't know if it's their job to follow people when you buy
• 45:05
  followers, but like, they just, they after a while they unfollow
• 45:12
  you. But I have no idea where that
• 45:16
  turn rate is and what the actual number is.
• 45:18
  So I just like, it's like, I get it just is what it is.
• 45:22
  It's highly annoying though, yeah.
• 45:24
  OK, where is Hike Melpin? You've not seen Hike in a while.
• 45:29
  He did. Oh.
• 45:31
  I don't know, I don't know. Mike killed him.
• 45:34
  OK, aren't they fake accounts? I have no idea what on
• 45:40
  Instagram. I don't know.
• 45:41
  I don't know how it works on. YouTube, I mean, I clicked on
• 45:43
  them all and it was all just a bunch of Instagram people with
• 45:46
  no followers or or Indian people.
• 45:49
  They were all Indian people. I'm sure it's like the whole
• 45:51
  farm stuff where they, they, they're just like farming.
• 45:54
  Like did Facebook? Facebook had it.
• 45:56
  You just get. Yeah, yeah, I don't know how it
• 45:59
  works but I wish I could like make them I delete their follow
• 46:05
  but I can't do that. I tried.
• 46:07
  I'm pretty sure you can. I couldn't.
• 46:09
  I couldn't. I couldn't figure it figure it.
• 46:11
  Out I mean it's like it's like me, I can't figure out how to
• 46:13
  unblock you if John goes rogue, but that's that's on you.
• 46:19
  Last chance qualifier. I guess it happened.
• 46:23
  At least the Hustle up Hustle Up app has scores in there.
• 46:27
  Tyler, you did the workouts. You think, oh, look at that.
• 46:30
  Hey, hey, you know for sure that this dude is already in the
• 46:36
  comments like whoever, whoever this dude is, like or girl or
• 46:41
  girl, they have been watching the show the whole time.
• 46:44
  They're all they're in the comments of somebody else.
• 46:46
  Like this could be Judy, it could be Grant, it could be
• 46:50
  Jenny. And like that guy is some is
• 46:52
  that he's one of these people. It could be Peter, you know,
• 46:57
  100%. Nice to.
• 47:01
  See. You wait to cover yourself up,
• 47:02
  Peter. Wait.
• 47:03
  Wait to. That's crazy.
• 47:09
  Welcome, welcome hike. It's good that.
• 47:11
  Oh good. Like helping dogs back, too.
• 47:19
  They watch on mute. I'm going to have cramps.
• 47:27
  Tyler, you did the workouts. I think maybe, maybe.
• 47:33
  Was it a good was it a good test of fitness to get a last chance
• 47:37
  qualifier through the door? Yeah, I think it was well
• 47:41
  balanced. I think it was good.
• 47:45
  Were you happy with how many people attempted to compete
• 47:50
  instead? Last chance qualifier.
• 47:52
  No, but it was not unforeseen by Syndicate, and that was probably
• 47:59
  a little late. Honestly.
• 48:01
  I was like, yeah, nobody's going to do Last Chance.
• 48:02
  Like you could just tell even at Syndicate that people were just
• 48:06
  dumped, dude. They were smoked.
• 48:08
  They didn't want to do this anymore.
• 48:10
  And that is the part that I was talking about.
• 48:13
  Things being on on Dave's shoulders is like.
• 48:18
  What's happening? Things being on Dave's shoulders
• 48:25
  like this was this design of semifinals like particularly
• 48:30
  putting the in affiliate? God, yeah, just hang on.
• 48:36
  John Yong all he's a pastor are making me sleepy $5.
• 48:41
  Thank you, John Yong. Dude, dude.
• 48:44
  I don't know if this is a real picture, like a fake one, but I
• 48:47
  don't know how. You catch that?
• 48:49
  Definitely. And make your and make it your
• 48:51
  thing. And I 100% was yawning whenever
• 48:54
  that came up. That that too wild.
• 48:57
  That's crazy. I we need to like find, find
• 49:01
  where that happened because that's that's that feels like AX
• 49:05
  files type deal. Anyway, Tyler.
• 49:09
  In affiliate semifinal should have been last.
• 49:14
  These athletes I I don't know that I liked it.
• 49:17
  I mean, in some ways it's cool that they can compete at
• 49:19
  multiple semifinals, but it makes things a little weird.
• 49:24
  This season was just so hard to advocate and it was tiresome
• 49:28
  and. And so when people didn't do
• 49:30
  last chance qualifier, I was like, yeah, I'd be up to.
• 49:35
  Don't you? I mean, did you guys watch
• 49:38
  Mayhem the Froning podcast at all?
• 49:41
  Today, the most recent one. No, I haven't seen it yet.
• 49:44
  I. Mean they talked about that too.
• 49:46
  Like I think maybe more Scott than anybody was like it's
• 49:50
  finally over. Like we made it through like
• 49:52
  this was a long grind of three months of just stuff or I guess
• 49:59
  2 1/2 months from April through mid June of something every
• 50:05
  freaking weekend. Yeah.
• 50:09
  Too much like everybody wanted to compete more, they had
• 50:13
  opportunities to compete more. Some people were flying back
• 50:15
  across around the world like Hannah Black was like, I want to
• 50:20
  go to TFX and I'm going to go to Tori and like.
• 50:23
  She was. I don't mind it.
• 50:24
  I don't mind it at all. Like if getting to the games is
• 50:27
  a grind, it's a grind. You know who it wasn't a grind
• 50:29
  for? Colton and Austin, you know.
• 50:34
  You know, You know who it wasn't a grind for?
• 50:36
  Jeff Adler, Dallin Pepper, Fees Agafi, Abby Dolman.
• 50:42
  They're chilling. I saw Abby Dolman on a beach the
• 50:45
  other day. She's not.
• 50:46
  She's not worried about it. In person, like in Houston?
• 50:49
  No. No, no, no, Houston don't have
• 50:52
  Houston don't have beaches, bro. Right.
• 50:54
  And if they do, Abby Dolman's not going to be at those
• 50:56
  beaches. But like I, you know, the people
• 51:02
  who are the best in the world, I don't think it was that hard for
• 51:05
  them to make it. And then if it was Yonkowski,
• 51:10
  like you've kind of earned it for earned it being that hard
• 51:14
  for not winning in another one or not getting through in
• 51:18
  online. Like that's and then you still
• 51:20
  get to make it like Yonkowski is a games athlete.
• 51:23
  I'm glad that he made it right. He's one of the fittest guys in
• 51:27
  the world. But it's on him that he didn't
• 51:29
  make it before. It's completely on him.
• 51:32
  So I don't mind it being a grind at all.
• 51:37
  What's going on? What all the fake, it's almost
• 51:41
  fake handles or it's just Mitch? Hooper watching?
• 51:47
  He blocked me on Instagram but he's still watching on YouTube.
• 51:50
  He's blocked you. He didn't block me.
• 51:52
  He blocked me bro. Oh, that's not his mooper.
• 51:55
  That's. It it's Mitch Hooper.
• 51:56
  Yeah. That's the real 1.
• 51:58
  You guys should not make fun of people.
• 51:59
  Regardless, I don't mind the grind at all because I think if
• 52:04
  you are fit enough, it's not a grind, you know, and it's only a
• 52:09
  grind for the people who are The Who are going to be, you know,
• 52:13
  25th through 40th or True games athletes.
• 52:19
  It was a grind and that's your fault.
• 52:21
  And then you can blame like you know, you have nobody to blame
• 52:23
  but yourself. I don't mind that at all.
• 52:25
  I like the multiple opportunities I want.
• 52:28
  Now obviously online should be the last thing and then last
• 52:35
  chance should be like the week after online.
• 52:38
  No more last chance, it's done. If you want it OK, like I'm with
• 52:43
  it, I'm with it. But if online is your last
• 52:45
  thing, then you can just say 12 spots, right?
• 52:47
  You don't have there is no last chance, right?
• 52:49
  You can. Just say that is the last
• 52:50
  chance. Yeah, correct.
• 52:51
  Right. And I think that's the best way,
• 52:53
  obviously. And they should have been all.
• 52:55
  Right. OK, Phil, you're right.
• 52:57
  Phil 20 to 30th. You're right.
• 52:59
  They should have been. I think we said this before like
• 53:04
  the last chance qualifier and make this what the N affiliate
• 53:07
  semifinals were. Should have been the same as the
• 53:09
  community cup and they should have been 5 workouts in the
• 53:14
  community cup is 3 of them. Yeah.
• 53:18
  I don't necessarily care about that.
• 53:20
  Yeah, it's much cleaner, but if. It's nobody.
• 53:22
  Nobody is focusing. Like nobody thought about the
• 53:24
  Community Cup again. Nobody knew about Last Chance
• 53:27
  Qualifier. It's sitting on an app that
• 53:29
  nobody wants to download. We don't see the videos.
• 53:33
  If it was part of the Community Cup in those three workouts, it
• 53:36
  ties everything in together, just like, you know,
• 53:40
  quarterfinals kind of did or the Open does.
• 53:44
  Sure, it should all be on one thing for sure.
• 53:46
  And then? Crossfit's thing.
• 53:47
  Yeah, and, well, there's those too many things going on at
• 53:52
  once. People aren't focused on any of
• 53:53
  it. And so you just tune out me so
• 53:57
  easy. I'm Halpin's mail order bride.
• 54:01
  You know, I feel really bad for helping when like things like
• 54:05
  this happen. We're like, you know, literally
• 54:08
  363 people just so you get like railed, but then like you just
• 54:15
  watch. You just look at one post and
• 54:18
  it's like the same post the next 15 post down and just how much
• 54:22
  you hate CrossFit and then I don't feel bad anymore.
• 54:27
  Also also, if all you do is speak badly about CrossFit, do
• 54:34
  you expect to get accepted? By who?
• 54:38
  What do you mean by who? For what?
• 54:41
  Nothing. OK.
• 54:44
  Nothing. I don't know who won the last
• 54:48
  chance qualifier, John. We don't know yet.
• 54:52
  I thought we did. I thought we didn't know
• 54:54
  unofficially. We unofficially know, yeah.
• 54:57
  Unofficially, Yonokoski and Lydia Fish and I'm I'm fine with
• 55:05
  not very many people doing it. If we have those, those winners,
• 55:11
  right, If like the winner is like some no name person that
• 55:15
  does well in online competition and is trash and in person
• 55:18
  competition, I'm not cool with it.
• 55:20
  Both of these people. Obviously Lydia far less so, but
• 55:24
  she she has shown that she she got fourth in syndicate after
• 55:27
  taking a like a 29th place or something in heavy Isabel, like
• 55:31
  she will not be she she she will be middle of the pack in games
• 55:36
  events and and I'm totally cool with that.
• 55:40
  Like those, those people coming out.
• 55:41
  And then I think 2nd place was Kyra Milligan.
• 55:44
  She's the same way, right. So like I right, but I'm saying
• 55:48
  like most events, she's like she could be middle of the pack,
• 55:52
  gonna be last in some things and then has a couple home runs up
• 55:56
  her sleeve. Lydia Fish, I think is in the
• 55:58
  same mold, maybe less so, but in the same mold.
• 56:02
  So like I'm good and Nate Ackerman's the same way, like
• 56:04
  he's weight like of Lydia Fish and like Kyra Milligan, like
• 56:08
  he'll be middle of the pack in a lot of events, maybe lower
• 56:11
  middle. He'll be last in some.
• 56:13
  But then he's also going to have home runs and that's what you
• 56:15
  want from your last people going And and Yonah obviously has has
• 56:22
  has, you know, very good pedigree.
• 56:24
  I don't think anybody's going to play about Yoner going to the.
• 56:26
  Game Yeah, Nate. Nate would not do so hot on the
• 56:28
  first workout. That's a lot of rough.
• 56:29
  No, but you know, there's going to be some lift in some legless
• 56:32
  rope climb workout that he is going to be great and it's going
• 56:35
  to be fun to show. Like, I want people who can
• 56:38
  throw a wrench into things. I don't want Mariana Meza, no
• 56:42
  offense to you, girl. You got a spot.
• 56:45
  Cool. That's going to be last place in
• 56:47
  everything. Yeah.
• 56:48
  I don't want somebody who's going to be 25th or lower in
• 56:50
  everything. I want somebody even if you are
• 56:53
  trash and you run a a 640 mile, like you're going to be able to
• 57:00
  throw a wrench in some events. That's what I want.
• 57:02
  And I think that we got that. David Oviedo Tyler, Are you
• 57:09
  Zinning? I am.
• 57:12
  I should've I I've stopped so many times and I've started so
• 57:15
  many times. I've lost count.
• 57:18
  Savon Fernandez says Abby was in Dominican Republic or another or
• 57:23
  another Dr. Do you know what guys?
• 57:25
  Do you know what this was in reference to?
• 57:26
  Grant thinks it's about him like he thinks everything is.
• 57:29
  Do y'all know what that was a reference to?
• 57:31
  Yeah, Tyler called it correctly. That's right, Tyler.
• 57:34
  Doesn't know what he's a reference.
• 57:35
  To. Oh yeah.
• 57:36
  Tyler doesn't know. I don't know, Matt Souza, Go
• 57:43
  watch his little funnel channel. Yeah, his, his show, the Today
• 57:51
  automating your leads coming in. Did somebody say opportunities?
• 57:56
  If you haven't seen my recent post, please do and comment
• 57:58
  opportunities to join this new movement.
• 58:01
  It was very profound. Was it really?
• 58:04
  Oh, it's very. Let me see.
• 58:06
  I'll, I'll. Talk about it he's doing.
• 58:08
  That. Figo, I hope that I am.
• 58:10
  I hope that I am. I don't hope ill will on
• 58:12
  anybody, but if I had a nickel for every time somebody said I'm
• 58:16
  going to be surprised by some girl I have not heard of before,
• 58:20
  I would have like $20. It's it's a lot guys, if we do
• 58:26
  the math on that, that's a lot. I was trying to be realistic.
• 58:29
  Remember when was it? Was it Shelby?
• 58:31
  Neal was like, John, I'm going to do so much better.
• 58:34
  And then she finished. Exactly.
• 58:35
  Exactly where I had Yeah. And you'd be shocked at how much
• 58:39
  that happens when they, like, look out for this person and
• 58:41
  they end up doing exactly what I thought they would be doing.
• 58:44
  Very rarely am I surprised. And then whenever I am
• 58:46
  surprised, I back this person forever, do I not?
• 58:50
  I said Alex Kazan was overrated the first her first year she
• 58:54
  came out and got 4th place. Now I'm like, I couldn't be more
• 58:57
  on Alex Kazan than ever. When I'm when I'm proven wrong,
• 59:00
  I'm all in on this person. Matthew Matthias Porter was the
• 59:04
  same. He was the same way that crash
• 59:06
  here. We go, let's see, go like this,
• 59:10
  everybody. I'm more excited about future
• 59:14
  opportunities for the sport to grow, for this community to
• 59:19
  thrive, and for gyms in general. This is Matt back here in my
• 59:24
  garage. I mean my gym with my people
• 59:26
  from the community. And what am I most excited
• 59:29
  about? Boots on the ground
• 59:31
  conversations. And what do those conversations
• 59:34
  lead to, you ask? Opportunities.
• 59:36
  And what do opportunities lead towards better conversations
• 59:40
  with partners in this space? It's not CrossFit.
• 59:43
  I mean, whoops, we can't say CrossFit.
• 59:46
  It's functional fitness, which are all just the same thing as
• 59:52
  CrossFit. But we're creating opportunities
• 59:55
  within this community. I could not be.
• 59:59
  Boots on the ground, baby. Boots on the ground, That's
• 1:00:03
  right. Hell yeah, that'll make you want
• 1:00:05
  to run through a wall. I don't know what does.
• 1:00:08
  That's that's true. Keeping it Real $2.00 John
• 1:00:11
  Project Ty Jenkins place in run row run 12th, 12th, 4th. 4th
• 1:00:23
  place Tyler, Where would where would Ben Smith right?
• 1:00:28
  Would he be 5th place? Yeah, Ben's a good runner.
• 1:00:35
  What did you say? 12th.
• 1:00:36
  Yeah, dude, there was. I remember when we first had
• 1:00:45
  Grace Walton on and I was like, because Grace Walton I was
• 1:00:51
  saying Grace Walton's praises before she like made the games
• 1:00:55
  and then she made it. And I think I think Barkley was
• 1:00:59
  either like against me or impressed with it in one or the
• 1:01:02
  other. Probably against season was
• 1:01:04
  never impressed with me. But and he goes what place?
• 1:01:08
  Because I think I said ficalsis place like perfect in like 2017
• 1:01:12
  or something like that in an in an event.
• 1:01:14
  And and I say grace Wall is going to be she's going to be
• 1:01:17
  23rd place or something like that.
• 1:01:19
  Like I already know what's going to happen.
• 1:01:20
  And this was like 6 months later and he wrote it down and there
• 1:01:23
  was a moment where she was 23rd place like after like the 5th
• 1:01:27
  event or something. And I was going to cry if I got
• 1:01:32
  that right. And then she ended up doing she
• 1:01:34
  she ended up doing much better and got like 12th place.
• 1:01:36
  And I was like completely wrong. But I love throwing out, I love
• 1:01:40
  throwing out just random placements on people.
• 1:01:44
  And then 'cause it there's, there's it's a win, win.
• 1:01:47
  One, nobody remembers if remembers it if you're wrong.
• 1:01:50
  And then two, if you're right, you get to bring it back up and
• 1:01:53
  say you like look, look at like. That's like look at this.
• 1:01:55
  Prediction. Have you seen the predictions
• 1:01:57
  like on Twitter where somebody calls like some no name team to
• 1:01:59
  win something and then they they made all 30 predict predictions
• 1:02:04
  like when their account was nothing and then they just
• 1:02:06
  delete 29 of them and then they show, yeah, look like predicted
• 1:02:09
  a year ago. Yeah.
• 1:02:10
  Or, or yeah, like Halliburton's going to make a buzzer beater on
• 1:02:14
  Game 3 Pacers one O 1, R 110 to one O 9 or something like that.
• 1:02:20
  And this person has said a million of these things, but
• 1:02:24
  then just boom, what's right on one of them.
• 1:02:26
  And it is like, if you do it, it don't matter how many times
• 1:02:29
  you're wrong if you call something like that.
• 1:02:31
  Perfect. It is impressive no matter what.
• 1:02:34
  Like Tyler's 640 call and Danny Spiegel is one of the most
• 1:02:37
  impressive things I've ever seen and I will go take this to my
• 1:02:42
  grave. There is nobody on this planet
• 1:02:46
  better at saying bad things are going to happen and then they
• 1:02:49
  happen exactly how they say it's going to happen than Tyler.
• 1:02:53
  My one skill, no one when the shit's going to hit the fan
• 1:02:56
  that. Was good.
• 1:02:58
  I wonder if I can find that one. I also cursed Tom Kingman in.
• 1:03:03
  The LCQ Oh dude, yeah. You can't call people doing
• 1:03:07
  good. You can't call people doing good
• 1:03:09
  for anything. You you got to get.
• 1:03:11
  Off of that damn kiss dude. Yeah.
• 1:03:14
  Let's be real though, like I don't think Tom was going to
• 1:03:17
  beat Yona in any way. This.
• 1:03:21
  Is not true. I'm an extremely good sports
• 1:03:23
  gambler, Tyler. Will he is He is really good at
• 1:03:28
  sports gambling like. Alarming.
• 1:03:30
  Yeah. I can't find it.
• 1:03:34
  You've you've been tagged too many times, Tyler.
• 1:03:37
  Oh yeah, my page was just you guys at this point.
• 1:03:41
  Yeah, me too. It it pretty much is.
• 1:03:44
  October 7th. Yeah.
• 1:03:46
  Don't burn salmon. That was a good day.
• 1:03:51
  I'm I'm convinced CrossFit changed their day just because
• 1:03:54
  we said it beforehand. Just to mess with you anyway,
• 1:03:59
  anything else on last chance qualifier?
• 1:04:01
  We still are we. Didn't find it.
• 1:04:02
  Dude, that was like one of the greatest times I was.
• 1:04:05
  I was ready to watch it again. I wish I could.
• 1:04:08
  Erica Folo. It's at the Games, it's in
• 1:04:10
  August. Yeah, I get it.
• 1:04:12
  Tyler's got a lot of stuff here. Let's.
• 1:04:17
  I went passing a lot of content guys.
• 1:04:21
  Last thoughts on this? Well, there's the tank, John and
• 1:04:23
  his tank. Do you remember that one?
• 1:04:27
  Yeah, it's got to be around there then.
• 1:04:29
  I John brought up Gracie Walton and I cannot for the life of me
• 1:04:32
  remember talking to her on this show.
• 1:04:36
  She was on the show. I had like I'm all RAM and no
• 1:04:41
  hard drive and John's all hard hard drive.
• 1:04:45
  What do you mean? You, the shit you keep in your
• 1:04:48
  brain, I don't know how you keep it there.
• 1:04:51
  Shit is random access memory for me at all times and after 10
• 1:04:55
  minutes it's gone. I don't know either, man.
• 1:04:59
  I got, I got, I've got like AI. It's not a photographic memory,
• 1:05:02
  but it's, it's pretty close. I can't do it with books, but I
• 1:05:05
  can do it with like movies or like things that I see happen.
• 1:05:10
  You know what I mean? Like I can't, I can't, I can't
• 1:05:15
  do it reading, but like if I see it happen it never moves.
• 1:05:21
  It is not here or I cannot forever.
• 1:05:24
  Yeah, I don't know anything else on last Chance qualifiers.
• 1:05:27
  We have until July 20th, Friday. That's ridiculous.
• 1:05:33
  Five days to review 30 people's videos.
• 1:05:36
  Not even like you literally just have to review.
• 1:05:41
  I guess you probably you probably need to review more
• 1:05:43
  than just the winner because if somebody else admittled
• 1:05:46
  somebody, but it's. Been I got it.
• 1:05:49
  I got it right here. It's right next to the O no
• 1:05:51
  post. So look at the O no post.
• 1:05:54
  For who? Like on on your little thing
• 1:05:56
  that you're scrolling on here? Yes.
• 1:05:58
  No, I was looking at Tyler's tags.
• 1:06:00
  I mean, well then it can be or go to mine, go to go to mine
• 1:06:03
  you. Just want you to send it to me.
• 1:06:04
  OK, that's. Fine, way easier.
• 1:06:07
  You don't have to. You don't have to like, be all
• 1:06:10
  smart about it. No, go.
• 1:06:11
  Left. Now, now down, down.
• 1:06:13
  Down let me, let me scroll. Through it's right next to like
• 1:06:16
  where it says Oh no. That's cool.
• 1:06:19
  Just. Send it to.
• 1:06:22
  Him, John. I sent it to him.
• 1:06:24
  OK, there it is. We're the greatest.
• 1:06:32
  Hang on, hang on. Please hold.
• 1:06:36
  Yeah. Wait, what's blue chew for?
• 1:06:41
  Why are we doing blue chew? Blue chew is for memory.
• 1:06:47
  Is it? I thought it was like Viagra.
• 1:06:50
  I thought I thought it was Viagra.
• 1:06:53
  Here we go 616, man, someone's running a 616.
• 1:06:58
  Mile in the first In the first. Slow smile, slow smile, slow
• 1:07:02
  smile No. 640. Freaking tutored at 5:30. 40 Oh,
• 1:07:05
  you come. On talking about you.
• 1:07:10
  A. Few moments later.
• 1:07:12
  No dude, I think. It's.
• 1:07:20
  Gonna land right on it. You're so good at calling bad
• 1:07:43
  people. Oh my God, there you go.
• 1:07:49
  It's uncanny, man. Cross that was there.
• 1:07:55
  It's definitely keeper. Wait, wait, wait.
• 1:08:03
  Maybe it's Travis. Oh.
• 1:08:09
  No. If Crossfat said some OGOG
• 1:08:13
  things, but there's no way Travis would know.
• 1:08:16
  OK all. Right, fair enough.
• 1:08:20
  Time for some. That was the best event.
• 1:08:24
  That was pretty fun to watch Friday night.
• 1:08:26
  Lights at the game saved the entire games.
• 1:08:28
  I was talking with somebody about this the other day and it
• 1:08:31
  was like, if that hadn't happened, I I feel like that was
• 1:08:33
  the moment that brought back the whole games.
• 1:08:36
  I don't know if the games ever got brought back.
• 1:08:38
  It it was never going to be 100%.
• 1:08:40
  But it was the best day of the games, Yeah, of all the days.
• 1:08:44
  Of the games, it lightened the whole mood.
• 1:08:47
  Like it? We were in the dumps.
• 1:08:48
  There was a lot of like good things from that that whole
• 1:08:52
  event. And we were all by ourselves in
• 1:08:54
  a giant. We were so late.
• 1:09:01
  Travis. Travis just messaged me.
• 1:09:04
  He says. I've lost access to my YouTube
• 1:09:06
  account. It's not me.
• 1:09:09
  I love. I love.
• 1:09:10
  We're just going to accuse everybody of being this guy and
• 1:09:13
  then wait. And then they just keep saying
• 1:09:15
  it's not me. I promise.
• 1:09:17
  Yeah, could be blind rankings. I have a good one for you guys.
• 1:09:21
  I think you'll like it. So did you guys see the news
• 1:09:26
  that Danny Spiegel's going to be on Gladiators?
• 1:09:29
  Yes. Could care less.
• 1:09:33
  How old is it? I mean, I know she's a fitness
• 1:09:36
  person, but that they're they're because she basically has an
• 1:09:42
  only fans now. It's not only fans, but it
• 1:09:44
  whatever it is, right? Passes.
• 1:09:46
  I got a story about that. Go ahead.
• 1:09:48
  I'm, I'm thinking about coming out with an only fans, yeah.
• 1:09:53
  We. Do like some scandalous Olympic
• 1:09:56
  lifts. There's already a girl who does
• 1:09:58
  that. Olympic lifts scandalously.
• 1:10:02
  Yeah, but I'm a guy. I'm a guy though.
• 1:10:04
  Like I would have far less of a following but my following would
• 1:10:08
  pay a lot because it would probably end up being like a gay
• 1:10:11
  following. Hey the.
• 1:10:16
  Following's the following. I don't.
• 1:10:17
  Know I'm thinking me and me and Matt Retay are thinking about
• 1:10:19
  starting it up. I don't hate it.
• 1:10:22
  Follow your dreams, John. Yeah, so I'm just, I'm just
• 1:10:25
  kidding. I know my mom.
• 1:10:27
  I know my mom's watching now. We're not, actually.
• 1:10:28
  Planning. There it is, Thomas.
• 1:10:30
  Thank you. Get the I know.
• 1:10:32
  Yeah, That let me down. I like her.
• 1:10:33
  My wife follows her. Her name's Madison Pannell, and
• 1:10:38
  she stopped following her after that.
• 1:10:40
  We were both disappointed. Go ahead, I'm.
• 1:10:44
  Sorry, Speaking of Danny Spiegel and passes.
• 1:10:49
  So back in like 2016, I did an interview with Danny worked with
• 1:10:56
  a photographer. It was like a written one of
• 1:10:58
  those written ones like interviews just basically like
• 1:11:02
  where she was because I had heard somebody had told me that
• 1:11:04
  like, hey, this woman from Orlando area is going to be
• 1:11:07
  really good. You should like interview her
• 1:11:09
  back, you know, before she becomes popular.
• 1:11:11
  So I made this article and the photographer that was there took
• 1:11:17
  photos of her and I just like I put them into this right.
• 1:11:21
  It just occur lifting in a gym or whatever.
• 1:11:26
  Last week I got a notice from Google that said that this
• 1:11:30
  article has been delisted on Google because the rights holder
• 1:11:37
  said that I was using copyrighted material.
• 1:11:41
  You're the rights. Holder Technically, the
• 1:11:44
  photographer is. I was given permission to use
• 1:11:47
  it. This was also nine years ago.
• 1:11:52
  Yeah, there's a statue of limitations on that copy.
• 1:11:54
  So yeah, I ended up just taking the photos down because I just
• 1:11:56
  didn't feel like dealing with it.
• 1:11:59
  But I thought that was crazy like.
• 1:12:00
  That is nuts. Yeah, that's like my.
• 1:12:02
  Do we know this? Photographer because I edited
• 1:12:05
  it. I don't think you do, no.
• 1:12:10
  What's funny though is I he actually he took photos of
• 1:12:14
  Cassie Lance Mcwhorter when she was becoming big and I did a
• 1:12:18
  same similar article with her. It got featured on one of those
• 1:12:22
  update shows like with Sean Woodland and stuff.
• 1:12:24
  They ended up CrossFit, ended up hiring the dude he was like he
• 1:12:27
  shot. He was like one of their
• 1:12:28
  photographers for CrossFit Games for years.
• 1:12:30
  I don't know if he still does or not, but yeah.
• 1:12:34
  You're welcome, buddy. Yeah, exactly.
• 1:12:37
  But no, like, and basically I looked at like you can go see
• 1:12:41
  like the, the IT gets all these copyright things go get put into
• 1:12:46
  a database and like it was my site.
• 1:12:49
  And then like a whole bunch of like adult sites that have like
• 1:12:52
  taken her material and put him on those this thing that's kind
• 1:12:57
  of kind of interesting. But anyway, I was like, that's
• 1:12:59
  nuts. Like it's not even anything.
• 1:13:02
  He doesn't even think that he gave her rights to it.
• 1:13:04
  So like it's all just garbage like.
• 1:13:07
  Oh, some AI thing working its way through.
• 1:13:10
  I I'm sure it is and like I could probably fight it, but
• 1:13:12
  like it's just, I don't care. It's not worth it at this point.
• 1:13:15
  It's nine years old. That's Souza Dollar, 99 for Jy's
• 1:13:19
  only fans. He wants that so.
• 1:13:22
  There you go, started John. Yeah, so while Danny Spiegel is
• 1:13:26
  going to be a gladiator at some point, I wanted to find out
• 1:13:29
  which athletes games at 2025 games athletes, who would be the
• 1:13:34
  best gladiators? I thought we were going to rank
• 1:13:37
  actual gladiators, like, you know, we got Maximus and then
• 1:13:42
  like we'll just call, we'll call Spartacus the gladiator 'cause
• 1:13:46
  he kind of was one we call Leonidas.
• 1:13:48
  Can we do a blind ranking on like not CrossFit stuff at some
• 1:13:51
  point, like like, like warriors your top five, like a blind
• 1:13:56
  ranking? A blind ranking, yeah, like
• 1:13:58
  Achilles would be #1. Yeah.
• 1:14:01
  I mean some knowledge of that I'm not sure that Tyler has.
• 1:14:04
  That it doesn't, but that's what makes it good is that we talk
• 1:14:07
  like like like I I think it would be fun to blind rank or or
• 1:14:11
  just just literally anything, anything.
• 1:14:14
  You know what comment if you don't leave a comment and you
• 1:14:16
  want us to blind rank anything. I know I'm kind of rigging this
• 1:14:20
  and hates it. Leave it in a in the comments.
• 1:14:24
  Something that you would want us to blind rank.
• 1:14:27
  We could know nothing about it. No, I know.
• 1:14:31
  I know. Some I know, some history.
• 1:14:33
  I, I know some history, like we'll throw Hector in there too,
• 1:14:37
  OK? We'll like we could do some
• 1:14:39
  stuff. Honestly, dude, honestly, Jacob,
• 1:14:44
  Jacob would be like a #1 where he beat Michael way back in
• 1:14:49
  Genesis times. OK y'all.
• 1:14:51
  Know that is that. Tyler, no, I'm going.
• 1:14:54
  I'm going with. God, God, he didn't beat Michael
• 1:14:58
  was God, but you know what I'm saying?
• 1:14:59
  Like like, like, like if you leave it in the comments,
• 1:15:02
  anything you want us to blind rank and we will blind rank.
• 1:15:05
  And that guy, the guy who's the Headless Horseman on Sleepy
• 1:15:11
  Hollow? Ichabod cranks.
• 1:15:14
  Hethian mercenary? Yeah, that guy.
• 1:15:16
  The best warrior. Oh, the actual horseman.
• 1:15:20
  Yeah, OK. Fico Gomez Best Taco Bell menu
• 1:15:24
  items. OK.
• 1:15:26
  All right, FICO all. Right.
• 1:15:30
  Where are you going to rank these CrossFit athletes as if
• 1:15:32
  they were going to be a gladiator on the TV show on
• 1:15:35
  Amazon Prime? First one is Brodus Law.
• 1:15:40
  Where'd you put Brodus Law? OK, this is for them to be
• 1:15:43
  American Gladiators. Yeah, they're they're one of the
• 1:15:45
  gladiators. They get.
• 1:15:46
  They get their name. He's not American.
• 1:15:50
  He'll be on the show. Then why?
• 1:15:53
  What is he? Get off the American bit.
• 1:15:56
  The Polish man, man, That's his gladiator name, yeah.
• 1:15:59
  Could be sure. Yeah, I don't know man 4.
• 1:16:06
  I would say 5 because he's short.
• 1:16:09
  He's too. Short.
• 1:16:13
  He's about to name just CrossFit people and he's in bonus law is
• 1:16:17
  6 foot ish. My standards for American
• 1:16:22
  Gladiator are humongous. I.
• 1:16:23
  I'm telling you, he's about he's about to name CrossFit people,
• 1:16:27
  though, and Bronislaw is one of our biggest people.
• 1:16:30
  Is he 6 foot? Yeah, he's like 6 foot 61I.
• 1:16:34
  Think he's I'm still saying 5. He's he's a cool character, but
• 1:16:39
  there's not that. I will not bend on this.
• 1:16:42
  I say 4. We will go to the chat if we
• 1:16:44
  disagree. Keep John 4.
• 1:16:47
  I don't want to fight it that. Hard Tyler.
• 1:16:51
  I wanted the chat to say something.
• 1:16:55
  The Winged Hussars were badass like Polish Spartans.
• 1:16:58
  There you go. The Winged Hussars.
• 1:17:01
  Sivan Fernandez knows a lot. 6 foot 275.
• 1:17:04
  He's not. I don't think he's 275.
• 1:17:10
  All right, here we go. All right, front of slot #4 Alex
• 1:17:15
  Gazan without a broken without a broken.
• 1:17:18
  Here's the thing, like ability, she would be 1, but like how
• 1:17:26
  marketable somebody is and stuff like that.
• 1:17:28
  I I would say 2. I'd say 2 She's got the look,
• 1:17:33
  she's, she's shredded her hair, creates this whole wow factor.
• 1:17:38
  She's got to be able to turn up the, you know, the, the, the
• 1:17:41
  showmanship. Yeah, I know.
• 1:17:45
  And I almost think you play her off as like this like sweet,
• 1:17:50
  kind little thing that wouldn't hurt a family.
• 1:17:53
  And then she and, and then she just takes.
• 1:17:55
  Tears. And tears people up.
• 1:17:57
  Yeah, yeah, I I can't see Alex Kazan having this fear.
• 1:18:00
  Someone to kill you look. But more like, oh, this is so
• 1:18:03
  awesome that we get to, you know, go, go play these things
• 1:18:06
  and then she like, you know, ruins.
• 1:18:08
  People just destroys them. Fair enough.
• 1:18:12
  Sauce it up, Yeah. Go for it.
• 1:18:15
  It's the American Gladiators. Next one.
• 1:18:19
  Annika Greer. Five.
• 1:18:22
  See. Aren't Aren't you glad we left
• 1:18:24
  it open? See, you want to talk about
• 1:18:26
  bigger than life? Annika Greer is 5 foot tall.
• 1:18:29
  She's a competitor, You bring her on as a competitor 'cause
• 1:18:32
  she is emotional and I do like that place for her.
• 1:18:35
  I don't think she's emotional. She is very emotional.
• 1:18:42
  What would Annika's What would Annika's gladiator name be?
• 1:18:46
  Purple Rain. Wow, spin.
• 1:18:49
  That was that was so good. That was amazing.
• 1:18:53
  Did you have that that that there's no.
• 1:18:55
  I just came up. I just came up with that.
• 1:18:57
  You had nicknames for all of these people.
• 1:18:59
  I did not. I don't have one for Bronislaw
• 1:19:01
  or Alex. Bronislaws is just Chekhov.
• 1:19:05
  No, he he's, he's the Polish assassin and, and Alex can be
• 1:19:11
  here. This could be a part of it.
• 1:19:12
  We should come up with nicknames for everybody.
• 1:19:15
  What's the what's the Irish girl?
• 1:19:19
  What is it? Tangled?
• 1:19:20
  What's her name? Meredith, See Mechanical.
• 1:19:24
  No. No, no, you're thinking of brave
• 1:19:26
  Meredith. Meredith.
• 1:19:28
  Meredith. That's not going to work.
• 1:19:31
  I think it should be like a lion something because she's got the
• 1:19:34
  big mane kind of hair looking thing.
• 1:19:36
  The lioness, well, it's just that that can be hers.
• 1:19:40
  You don't like it? I like.
• 1:19:43
  It What the hell, Larry? A little dump truck.
• 1:19:49
  I think that's for, I think that's for Annika, but probably
• 1:19:52
  yo-yo, Purple Rain is crazy. That's so.
• 1:19:57
  Little dump truck that's so. Good there.
• 1:20:01
  You. Go.
• 1:20:02
  How about that? I like this one.
• 1:20:03
  I like this one. Iron Heart.
• 1:20:07
  For Alex. Yeah, like Braveheart.
• 1:20:11
  Work. It can work.
• 1:20:12
  It can work. Here we go.
• 1:20:19
  Next 10. Who said Crossfad?
• 1:20:21
  They're all one word names without the It's what we're
• 1:20:24
  doing, it's fine. Next one.
• 1:20:27
  We don't. We're not putting rules on ours.
• 1:20:29
  Hopper. See, I think Hopper's made for
• 1:20:32
  shows like this. I think he like eats this stuff
• 1:20:34
  up the. My number one draft pick is
• 1:20:37
  Sprague. Yeah, James would be good too.
• 1:20:40
  He needs to be the Pink Pony Express.
• 1:20:45
  The Pink Pony Express. That's.
• 1:20:46
  Hopper would be platinum. No, he's something like he's
• 1:20:51
  like a stretched out Slim Shady. So we'll see if you would come
• 1:20:56
  up with like thicken them. That's easy.
• 1:21:00
  That's marketable. You like that?
• 1:21:02
  You like that? Thicken them.
• 1:21:04
  That's his that that feels like I'm saying a bad word.
• 1:21:08
  Thicken them. Yeah, yeah.
• 1:21:08
  Like, say it doesn't feel like you're saying something like you
• 1:21:10
  shouldn't say. Nope, but I'll go with #1 I
• 1:21:15
  don't think spray is going to pop up so I'm going with.
• 1:21:17
  I would 100% agree with you. I think James Sprague would be,
• 1:21:20
  would be your number one. I, I agree with you, but OK, I'm
• 1:21:24
  I'm with you all the way all. Right last one, right in the
• 1:21:27
  middle, it's another dude. Austin Hatfield.
• 1:21:31
  It's not Austin Hatfield. Is it James?
• 1:21:34
  Do we mess it up? No, it's not James.
• 1:21:36
  It is Roman. Roman Kredekov.
• 1:21:38
  OK, that's the easy the Russian every foreign person is just the
• 1:21:45
  country. I like it.
• 1:21:50
  Roman should be at 2. Gazan should be at 3:00.
• 1:21:53
  I, I, I concur, I concur. I would, I would, I would swap
• 1:21:57
  those two. We could probably can come up
• 1:21:58
  with a better name than the Russian.
• 1:22:04
  What are Russian things? Vodka.
• 1:22:09
  Ukraine's worst enemy? Sickle I.
• 1:22:14
  Don't know, Roman would just be Roman.
• 1:22:20
  Oh, I like that. I kind of like that.
• 1:22:22
  Yeah. Like that's just that's just
• 1:22:23
  yeah, he's just roaming. I like that too.
• 1:22:25
  Yeah, I like that. Let's OK, we're walking.
• 1:22:26
  Back Sprague be horrible he literally tea bagged it.
• 1:22:29
  Jason at WFP. Dude, Sprague would be great and
• 1:22:34
  he's he's. Got the part of that for sure.
• 1:22:36
  He's got a golden retriever personality.
• 1:22:39
  Like he would be great. That's the Pink Pony Express.
• 1:22:41
  Man, you can't stop that guy. You know how many like all the
• 1:22:46
  kids would love James? Like like he'd be the kids
• 1:22:49
  favorite Gladiator because he would walk out to Pink Pony Club
• 1:22:53
  and wear a little Tutu and then wreck people.
• 1:22:56
  Like I, I think, I think honestly, I'm mad that Danny
• 1:23:00
  Spiegel's doing it because James would have made it much better.
• 1:23:03
  Gladiator as we're thinking about it.
• 1:23:04
  I would watch the show if it was James Sprague and I know they're
• 1:23:08
  going to make it so not what it was.
• 1:23:11
  It's going to be lame because that's all TV does.
• 1:23:14
  If you ever watched Ninja Warrior back when it was in
• 1:23:16
  Japan, the Japanese version of Ninja Warrior, that's where it
• 1:23:19
  came from. It was called Sasuke back in the
• 1:23:22
  day. I don't know what channel it was
• 1:23:25
  on but me and my dad used to watch like just marathons and
• 1:23:27
  Ninja warrior. It was so much better, so much
• 1:23:31
  better. Dude.
• 1:23:32
  The announcers would be like, they'd fall in the water and the
• 1:23:34
  announcers would be like his fam.
• 1:23:35
  Their family must be so dishonored at this moment.
• 1:23:38
  Like and it was so amazing. Three people, only like 3 people
• 1:23:43
  won in like 20 years. Like got through all the stages
• 1:23:46
  and now it's just so Americanized and lame.
• 1:23:50
  And they're going to do the exact same thing with
• 1:23:52
  gladiators. Even though it was American
• 1:23:55
  Gladiators. They're going to make it 2025
• 1:23:57
  American Gladiators. And I want, I want the 90s
• 1:24:00
  gladiators. Honorable mention on Gladiators
• 1:24:05
  is Taylor Williamson. She would have been the best
• 1:24:08
  American Gladiator from the CrossFit realm.
• 1:24:10
  Of all again, maybe ability, but.
• 1:24:12
  You think personality? Wise.
• 1:24:14
  Panera will. Be the best gladiator.
• 1:24:20
  I think Danielle Brandon would make a good gladiator.
• 1:24:24
  Yeah. I think so.
• 1:24:26
  On the women's side, yeah, yeah, yeah, trying.
• 1:24:30
  To think of others, it might have been cool.
• 1:24:34
  I missed shows where we didn't care about being safe and like
• 1:24:38
  the human body and and the health like, like they roided
• 1:24:42
  every single gladiator up as much as they could.
• 1:24:44
  And I was, I'm here for it. Like if it's if it's, if it's
• 1:24:48
  entertainment and it's like, we want to like sell stuff.
• 1:24:52
  Like let's let this roided up peak athlete wreck this soccer
• 1:24:57
  mom. Like, let's do it.
• 1:24:59
  And then, and you could sign like a waiver, of course.
• 1:25:03
  But then 'cause when that soccer mom wins, she actually like, you
• 1:25:08
  know, did something pretty crazy and she should be like, it
• 1:25:12
  should mean something and it should be cool.
• 1:25:14
  And now it's just everybody's going to be as safe as possible.
• 1:25:17
  And it's, it sucks. And I like, like when somebody
• 1:25:20
  falls in the water and Ninja Warrior, American Ninja Warrior,
• 1:25:24
  I want the announcers to be like 7.
• 1:25:26
  Like, that was pretty terrible. Not like, I can't wait for her
• 1:25:31
  to go to her community and practice on the net some more.
• 1:25:34
  Like, I want kids to be afraid to do it.
• 1:25:37
  Not, you know, and it's, it's, it's, I don't know.
• 1:25:39
  Agreed John. It's been on the downhill since
• 1:25:43
  legend of the Hidden Temple was taken off the air.
• 1:25:47
  So. Vicky, Danielle or Folo would be
• 1:25:50
  good. Folo Polo, would you?
• 1:25:53
  Tried out for wrestling. It was not for her.
• 1:25:55
  So maybe, maybe not for gladiators.
• 1:25:59
  Not sure. So there you go, there's your
• 1:26:02
  gladiators. Congrats to Mr. Jason Hopper.
• 1:26:05
  That's right. That's that's how you win.
• 1:26:07
  I could mark it that's. Right, last one, guardrails.
• 1:26:12
  All right, so we just finished up the second stage, stage two
• 1:26:18
  of the 2025 CrossFit Game season.
• 1:26:23
  Some people think it was a lot. It was the Wild West.
• 1:26:26
  It wasn't quite 2019 or 2020's start of the season, but we had
• 1:26:34
  9 events at Renegade Games, we've had five events at Mayhem,
• 1:26:41
  we've had TFX and it's programming, we've had Norcal
• 1:26:45
  and everything in between all of that.
• 1:26:50
  Should there be some guardrails that these assuming we do
• 1:26:55
  something similar next year where these in person qualifying
• 1:26:59
  events have free reign to run their competition, should there
• 1:27:04
  be guardrails for those event organizers?
• 1:27:11
  Tyler, I'm. Going to start with programming.
• 1:27:18
  I think somebody just needs to like check to make sure it's not
• 1:27:21
  absolutely ridiculous. But for the most part, I like
• 1:27:25
  that they have freedom to kind of do their own thing.
• 1:27:29
  With the actual programming of. Events.
• 1:27:31
  The events, yeah. I I mean, we talked about this
• 1:27:36
  last week. I like the idea that Ben and
• 1:27:38
  Blair rail to just go. Oh wow.
• 1:27:42
  I think they need to do better testing and the the
• 1:27:46
  implementation of those needs to be better.
• 1:27:50
  But I'm all for them throwing in a car push, truck push, Gator
• 1:27:54
  push. If you can do it right.
• 1:27:58
  I'm OK with it being out in the field as long as you can make
• 1:28:00
  sure that lines are straight. I'm OK with doing a ladder, but
• 1:28:04
  make sure that there aren't too many weights out there.
• 1:28:06
  Like all those things are fine, but you just got to be able to
• 1:28:12
  run it properly in my opinion. So I don't I'd rather see that
• 1:28:16
  and have a different, different events every single time that
• 1:28:19
  have the same 6 like we had last year.
• 1:28:23
  And by week 3 you're like, oh, I don't, I don't this isn't as
• 1:28:25
  exciting. It does the old regionals where
• 1:28:30
  it was the same and last. Last year too, right?
• 1:28:34
  For yeah, for how many weeks? Four or five weeks that.
• 1:28:39
  Originals was rough. It was rough, like by the last
• 1:28:42
  one, like you, you watched because you did want to see if
• 1:28:44
  somebody broke a world record, as they said so many times back
• 1:28:47
  in the day, but he got a little bored with it.
• 1:28:53
  The opposite year is true where I was overwhelmed by the amount
• 1:28:57
  of programming that you had to kind of keep up on and like you,
• 1:29:04
  you guys nerd out on that. I like, I do look at the
• 1:29:07
  programming and I, I give it a glance, but like, like I said,
• 1:29:11
  I'm all ran and like 10 minutes after I've read the workout, I
• 1:29:14
  forget it immediately. That was debuted whenever we did
• 1:29:17
  the semifinals workout and I just did the order completely
• 1:29:20
  wrong. It, it, I, I feel like it's a
• 1:29:25
  little bit, it's a harder bridge for people to cross when they're
• 1:29:31
  like, OK, what's what's this event?
• 1:29:32
  What's this week? Where's this at?
• 1:29:34
  You know what I mean? And all the events are
• 1:29:35
  different. But do I want to get rid of like
• 1:29:39
  the freedom to program your own events?
• 1:29:41
  And no, but that that is something that's worth
• 1:29:44
  considering, I think. John.
• 1:29:47
  Yeah, I don't think it matters if you don't like know the
• 1:29:51
  events. And I think it's good that every
• 1:29:54
  different event has like their own flavor.
• 1:29:58
  But I do think you need you need some type of committee or like
• 1:30:06
  you be careful programming. No, I mean like an elected
• 1:30:11
  committee. The CAC?
• 1:30:13
  The CAC where? Is there?
• 1:30:16
  Is the CAC still around I. Don't know what where are.
• 1:30:21
  You. I don't think Taylor would know
• 1:30:22
  if it's still around either. But yeah, where you approve,
• 1:30:27
  approve a programming for for events.
• 1:30:30
  Like there needs to be something either Dave approves it, Baz
• 1:30:33
  approves it, or like a committee approves it.
• 1:30:37
  But I don't think like you should be able to do your own
• 1:30:40
  events, but it needs to be well balanced.
• 1:30:43
  Programming obviously can be biased towards certain things,
• 1:30:49
  but it cannot be as bad as TFX was.
• 1:30:52
  It cannot be as bad as Wildland was.
• 1:30:56
  Those are really the main 2 that I feel like were atrocious, but
• 1:31:01
  like I I think it needs to be balanced to a certain point.
• 1:31:07
  OK, and obviously it's OK to have bias or bias a certain
• 1:31:12
  thing. And if you want to bias power,
• 1:31:13
  you can, but the whole entire event cannot be power and speed
• 1:31:18
  bias, just like the games should not be endurance biased.
• 1:31:21
  It it should be well balanced to an extent.
• 1:31:24
  And then if there's like a one more polling workout than
• 1:31:27
  normal, that's totally fine. I I would agree only if you are
• 1:31:35
  limiting people to regions. From that standpoint having to
• 1:31:41
  be more fair and balanced. If it is wide open to anybody, I
• 1:31:46
  like the idea of it being skewed one way or the other.
• 1:31:52
  Yeah, no, I'm. Good with TFX, TFX turns out to
• 1:31:54
  be the power output and then you just get power output athletes
• 1:31:58
  after a couple years going there 'cause you know that's gonna be
• 1:32:00
  the case. You have higher skilled athletes
• 1:32:02
  going to Norcal. Like that would be interesting
• 1:32:06
  because then you could see like what happens when those types of
• 1:32:10
  athletes make it to the games. Like get really crazy and say
• 1:32:13
  there's a Hyrox event qualifier and you see that they take last
• 1:32:16
  every time. I know what happens.
• 1:32:19
  You know you can't. Trust it being skewed, Brian.
• 1:32:22
  I'm good with it being skewed, but it cannot be as bad as it
• 1:32:26
  was I don't think. It was that bad.
• 1:32:28
  I think it was terrible. And that's a there's a problem
• 1:32:31
  that you don't think it's that bad.
• 1:32:32
  I think if you asked Taylor, if you asked Bryson, if you asked
• 1:32:35
  Jr., who are three, I feel like everybody.
• 1:32:38
  I don't. I'm not saying it was good.
• 1:32:40
  I'm not saying they were not. Biased.
• 1:32:42
  No. No, not biased, Brian.
• 1:32:44
  Terrible, like local competitions are programmed
• 1:32:48
  better and the fact that you cannot see that is a problem.
• 1:32:52
  I don't you're sending, you're sending people through the
• 1:32:56
  games. He just said he didn't think
• 1:32:57
  programming was that bad. He just said he didn't think it
• 1:33:00
  was that bad there, right? It can, it can be, it can be
• 1:33:06
  biased, but not to the extent that it was, is what I'm saying.
• 1:33:12
  It it might not have even it might not have even affected who
• 1:33:16
  went, but their needs. Running needs to be tested.
• 1:33:20
  It needs to be tested. It's literally the one of the
• 1:33:24
  most important things in all of fitness.
• 1:33:27
  We'll find out. We'll find out when we get to
• 1:33:30
  the games in the first event where where the TFX athletes
• 1:33:33
  show up. It doesn't matter, dude.
• 1:33:35
  Nick Matthews going to have his home runs.
• 1:33:37
  Chris Ibarra is going to be middle of the pack.
• 1:33:40
  It doesn't. It doesn't matter where they end
• 1:33:42
  up at the games. I know what you're saying.
• 1:33:43
  You want everybody's flavor, and then you go to the Games, you
• 1:33:46
  see who wins, right? That's what you want.
• 1:33:48
  Cool. But the CrossFit Games is
• 1:33:50
  testing for the fittest man and woman on the planet.
• 1:33:54
  You need to be tested in all the things before you get there.
• 1:33:58
  But they're not. They're not the exact same
• 1:34:01
  though. Every single stage of the game.
• 1:34:03
  No it doesn't. It doesn't and it can have that
• 1:34:06
  bias. I I'm Nick Matthew would have
• 1:34:08
  still went to the games if a 5K run was in place of the clean
• 1:34:12
  event. He would have still went.
• 1:34:15
  And if he wouldn't, if he wouldn't, yeah, 'cause Nate
• 1:34:17
  Ackerman was third. You think he's doing very hot in
• 1:34:19
  that either? No.
• 1:34:20
  OK, Basically the top seven were all like Nick Matthew and just
• 1:34:25
  not as good as Nick Matthew, except, except for Chris.
• 1:34:28
  Except for Chris. Now what I'm saying it, I don't
• 1:34:33
  think it would have affected who went, but like if Hannah Black
• 1:34:36
  went to the games, that's that's a.
• 1:34:39
  Problem. You're you're right, Tyler, it
• 1:34:44
  should have happened if it wasn't.
• 1:34:45
  She just executed that workout very poorly.
• 1:34:47
  But I'm not and I'm not saying like like what I'm saying like
• 1:34:52
  maybe you appoint Baz to two competitions and then you
• 1:34:57
  appoint Dave to two competitions and then Jr. to two competitions
• 1:35:01
  just to approve programming, not change it, approve it and.
• 1:35:06
  Disapprove it. Then they need to come up with
• 1:35:09
  other events if, if so, like so for instance, for instance, if
• 1:35:12
  they submit, if they submit their workouts and Dave's like
• 1:35:17
  or like I know you, I know you don't like Dave's programming.
• 1:35:20
  So pick, pick who you want to pick, pick who you want to pick
• 1:35:22
  boss and boss is like boss is like guys, you have literally 0
• 1:35:27
  endurance. Your only long event has 60
• 1:35:31
  burpee dumbbell box step overs. Like that's the crux of the
• 1:35:35
  event. And your endurance event is
• 1:35:36
  dumbbell box step overs that you're only running is like the
• 1:35:41
  cleans are the only thing that matters.
• 1:35:42
  So you need to test running more and your long event, that should
• 1:35:47
  not be the crux. And then it's on them to fix it.
• 1:35:50
  They submit it again and then it gets approved.
• 1:35:52
  It's super easy. That's not hard.
• 1:35:55
  And then, and then the third, the last event is a 550 meter
• 1:36:00
  run every round, right? You go 550 meters, 3 cleans, 550
• 1:36:06
  meters, 2 cleans, 550 meters, one clean.
• 1:36:09
  I think we all agree that would be a better workout.
• 1:36:11
  You're still testing strength, you're still doing what you
• 1:36:14
  want. And you tested running, right?
• 1:36:17
  And like Nordicale's programming, I don't think was
• 1:36:19
  bad. The whole competition was just
• 1:36:22
  executed poorly. But I and like now when I'm
• 1:36:25
  saying approved programming, that's what I'm saying.
• 1:36:27
  I'm not saying no he like Dave programs 2 events.
• 1:36:31
  That's not what I'm saying. You still get to program.
• 1:36:34
  They say you need to change X&X and then you can and then it
• 1:36:37
  will work. That's what I'm saying.
• 1:36:39
  That's the thing, I actually got tired of Isabel by the end of
• 1:36:43
  it. I I like just didn't care
• 1:36:44
  anymore and and it was hurt by the fact that people did it
• 1:36:49
  multiple times like Jack did it how many times?
• 1:36:52
  It's like, but what you were saying about the there should be
• 1:36:58
  some standards on like I don't want to say safety, but like the
• 1:37:03
  lane should be the right size, like platform should be even
• 1:37:10
  different things like that. Like that one feels like you
• 1:37:14
  shouldn't have to write down or that you shouldn't have.
• 1:37:16
  Those weren't the guardrails I was thinking about, but yeah.
• 1:37:19
  Sure. That's on the.
• 1:37:20
  That's on the composition organized.
• 1:37:22
  What about and I, I go back and forth on this one rather than
• 1:37:26
  approving the workouts, but like, obviously Dave has an idea
• 1:37:30
  of what the games are gonna be. And like let's say Dave, let's
• 1:37:35
  say Dave was gonna have 225 LB snatches programmed in the games
• 1:37:42
  and then everybody starts doing heavy Isabel at these in person
• 1:37:47
  qualifying events. Should it more be like hey you
• 1:37:53
  need to program? For these things like you, you
• 1:37:56
  need to program a you. Gotta do a you gotta do a heavy
• 1:37:59
  clean and jerk or something like you gotta have running that's
• 1:38:02
  you know they got they got to be able to run over 2 miles in some
• 1:38:06
  form or fashion you. Have sort of like minimum work
• 1:38:08
  requirements. There has to be ring muscle.
• 1:38:10
  There has to be ring muscle UPS in there because we didn't do
• 1:38:12
  ring muscle UPS in the open. You got to do ring muscle UPS
• 1:38:14
  here. And like that way you have like
• 1:38:19
  movements that you have to do, but you can have your own flavor
• 1:38:22
  of it, right? Like do lighter snatches or
• 1:38:26
  heavier cleaning jerks or vice versa or deadlifts like so It
• 1:38:30
  does. It's not the exact same.
• 1:38:35
  Would that be OK with you, John, or do you want the actual
• 1:38:37
  workouts approved? Yeah, I mean, I think I, I think
• 1:38:41
  whenever you they put stipulations on the program, I
• 1:38:44
  don't have a problem with what you said.
• 1:38:46
  If they did that, that'd be fine.
• 1:38:48
  But I also think that people who actually put thought into their
• 1:38:52
  programming, now they're hamstrung by these rules that
• 1:38:56
  they wouldn't have otherwise. I don't want to put, I don't
• 1:39:00
  want to put like stipulations on how you program.
• 1:39:03
  It just needs to be somewhat well balanced.
• 1:39:09
  It's negated your entire argument.
• 1:39:11
  No, I didn't. No, you're talking about
• 1:39:12
  movements, for instance. Like if you want to do heavy
• 1:39:15
  snatches and heavy snatches in the games, you should be allowed
• 1:39:19
  to. You don't know what's at the
• 1:39:20
  games, right? That's that's a stipulation.
• 1:39:23
  Hey, you need to do lighter snatches.
• 1:39:25
  You can't do heavy snatches, all right.
• 1:39:27
  You need to do ring muscle UPS. That's a stipulation.
• 1:39:30
  Like I'm saying, just make it somewhat well balanced.
• 1:39:34
  That's not that's not putting like rules in your competition.
• 1:39:39
  Otherwise, we're not testing for the fittest people.
• 1:39:42
  We're testing for who is either like who's the most, who's the
• 1:39:46
  best high roxer or who is the most fast and powerful.
• 1:39:50
  We're not testing for all around fitness.
• 1:39:52
  And that's what we are testing. That's what CrossFit is.
• 1:39:56
  It's all around fitness, everything.
• 1:39:58
  It's not just who's really good at this one thing.
• 1:40:02
  I don't like saying this because it's a cop out so often of like
• 1:40:05
  the fittest did make it and in this case they do think the
• 1:40:10
  fittest did make it and therefore.
• 1:40:14
  That's how you get the 2024 Crosby games though, because
• 1:40:16
  Matt Fraser and Tiatumi bail you out every year games.
• 1:40:21
  Games is a bit different. I think the games needs to be
• 1:40:25
  balanced. It needs to be a good yeah,
• 1:40:27
  yeah, yeah, true test. I'm saying the people that get
• 1:40:29
  there. You don't think semi finals
• 1:40:32
  should be a true test of fitness?
• 1:40:35
  That's not what. We're saying, no, I'm not saying
• 1:40:37
  it. It doesn't have to meet, meet
• 1:40:39
  like some range of this is like balanced enough, right?
• 1:40:46
  Like there are times where you need more strength for more
• 1:40:50
  power than I. Honestly think TFX was balanced
• 1:40:53
  enough. If you do, we can just end the
• 1:40:55
  conversation because you we are not going to.
• 1:40:59
  I don't care if. I fundamentally disagree so
• 1:41:02
  badly, I think. You could be outside of this
• 1:41:05
  range of. You think TFX was balanced
• 1:41:07
  enough? I don't think it has to be.
• 1:41:09
  I don't think it was, but I think I'm OK with it not being
• 1:41:13
  as it was. It's not a powerlifting meet.
• 1:41:15
  They're still gonna follow the the type of CrossFit.
• 1:41:18
  You could probably argue that Rogue is not like it would fall
• 1:41:21
  outside of those rails of what balanced is like you'd be.
• 1:41:27
  A more balanced than TFX so. This is just the problem with
• 1:41:32
  TFX. Got it.
• 1:41:34
  And Wattland And Wattland. What's wrong with Wattland?
• 1:41:38
  That's they had the same problem TFX had.
• 1:41:40
  You have 6 events and one's heavy Isabel, the other's a Max
• 1:41:42
  out and then your your running event was handbags great when it
• 1:41:48
  was. In it, Brody's going.
• 1:41:49
  It's good. You see what I'm saying?
• 1:41:51
  And like, I don't think he earned it.
• 1:41:54
  I think he just picked the right competition.
• 1:41:55
  I think I and I don't like that at all.
• 1:41:58
  So did Gazan. I think Gazan would have made it
• 1:42:01
  any other way. No, I think I don't think Norcal
• 1:42:05
  was not I don't think Norcal was.
• 1:42:09
  I think Norcal was well balanced.
• 1:42:11
  The execution is just a problem. There is something to be said
• 1:42:15
  though, because back in the day, and maybe maybe I remember this
• 1:42:19
  differently than it really happened, but I feel like early,
• 1:42:22
  early days, people were saying like whose training program is
• 1:42:25
  the best even within CrossFit? Like who can get the athletes
• 1:42:28
  the farthest? Who's athletes, whose athletes
• 1:42:32
  are are most adapt to go to the games?
• 1:42:34
  And there was this difference in bias in programming.
• 1:42:37
  And so like if TFX it it was it's so far on the bad side that
• 1:42:44
  you can't see what what if it was, you know, what if they
• 1:42:47
  programmed well, they just programmed so different that you
• 1:42:50
  didn't like it. And then all of their athletes
• 1:42:52
  go to the games and they actually do really well.
• 1:42:55
  And then you're like, well, hold on.
• 1:42:57
  So it's like we have the worst case scenario that we can, we're
• 1:43:00
  arguing about, but it can easily be flipped on its head the other
• 1:43:03
  direction. Yeah, I would agree.
• 1:43:06
  OK, that's why I like it. Yeah, sure.
• 1:43:07
  If Nick Matthew gets top five of the CrossFit Games, then I'll
• 1:43:10
  say that I'm wrong. And you're right for sure, I
• 1:43:13
  would 100% would seek to that. Chris Ibarra.
• 1:43:15
  Absolutely. If If he gets top five of the
• 1:43:18
  CrossFit, you're absolutely right.
• 1:43:20
  If Bronislaw Linkowicz gets top five of the CrossFit Games,
• 1:43:23
  you're absolutely right. Brawny's great.
• 1:43:27
  I'm not mad that Brawny's going to be there.
• 1:43:29
  How about number of events? I do feel strongly about this
• 1:43:33
  one. I think it does need to be
• 1:43:34
  limited. There needs to be a minimum and
• 1:43:37
  a maximum. Yes.
• 1:43:40
  What if you're prepping to go to the CrossFit Games?
• 1:43:42
  What's wrong with doing that event?
• 1:43:43
  I agree. I think you just let the
• 1:43:45
  competitions do what they want. Oh, now it's OK to just let them
• 1:43:47
  do anything they want. Yeah.
• 1:43:51
  Again, I really liked. I just want good programming.
• 1:43:54
  I don't care about anything else, I just want solid
• 1:43:58
  programming. I really liked when I was there
• 1:44:01
  at Mayhem, I really liked that five event competition and how
• 1:44:07
  in the time frame of it. With that said, I think we do
• 1:44:10
  need teams back to qualify through these things.
• 1:44:15
  And so you, I don't think it works that same way.
• 1:44:17
  Like a 5 hour block is just going to be really tough unless
• 1:44:19
  you try to do teams all the morning, then you do individuals
• 1:44:22
  right after that. It's probably the most efficient
• 1:44:24
  use of your time that way. I I think going to night events
• 1:44:31
  is. It's so far out of the norm too.
• 1:44:36
  That's what that's what sanctions turned into like
• 1:44:38
  everybody one to one up. I mean sanctions back in the day
• 1:44:41
  they were swimming, they were doing like crazy run like it was
• 1:44:45
  literally a mini games in some of these these sanctionals.
• 1:44:49
  I think 6 is OK if you cannot program a good enough like set
• 1:44:55
  of workouts. You don't need more to do that.
• 1:45:00
  I'd give you 7. I'd I'd go as high as 7.
• 1:45:02
  I'm not going 7 scored six times.
• 1:45:04
  You're on the floor. OK, that.
• 1:45:09
  You have a very specific thing that you want, right?
• 1:45:13
  I just I I don't think. I think 6.
• 1:45:16
  I think 6 or 7 is fine. I think if if you are going to
• 1:45:19
  make it where everybody can go out everywhere and compete
• 1:45:23
  multiple times like we, first of all, we've already seen that
• 1:45:25
  trying to do back-to-back syndicate Norcal is really tough
• 1:45:31
  and that was just six, right. Right.
• 1:45:33
  But you start throwing in nine, nobody from Renegade games was
• 1:45:36
  going to have a shot at going to Norcal and qualifying.
• 1:45:39
  See, I don't care about that because if you were fit enough,
• 1:45:42
  you would have qualified already.
• 1:45:46
  Like you did not qualify. So now you have to do another
• 1:45:50
  event like, yeah, you're going to be shot.
• 1:45:52
  But John, think about think about this way, though, if, if,
• 1:45:56
  if the actual if it's the same same number of event in in
• 1:46:00
  person qualifying events and the in affiliate semifinals was the
• 1:46:05
  last chance qualifier. Imagine everybody going to in
• 1:46:11
  North America ends up going to TFX and Mayhem and syndicate
• 1:46:20
  Norcal, right? Like and there's only two spots
• 1:46:24
  up for grabs. Let's say that the east where
• 1:46:28
  more majority of them go, right, like Hopper, Dallin, Adler,
• 1:46:36
  Jack. I mean there's a bunch of them
• 1:46:38
  there. Only two qualify.
• 1:46:43
  And like, yes, you could probably rely on the last chance
• 1:46:47
  qualifier and going in getting in through online, but I nobody
• 1:46:50
  wants to do that, right? So you're probably going to go
• 1:46:54
  to another one. I think you changed if you
• 1:46:57
  change the season up and you put the last chance at the end, I
• 1:47:02
  mean even giving if everybody every big 13 invites, so the
• 1:47:07
  last chance is only like 5 spots or something like that.
• 1:47:11
  Like that gets pretty nerve wracking at the end, right?
• 1:47:14
  You start seeing the workouts. Do you actually even try or do
• 1:47:16
  you know you're going to get beat if it's only a handful of
• 1:47:18
  spots? So people, I think, start going
• 1:47:21
  to more competitions because you got third and you don't want to
• 1:47:26
  rely on it, so you try again. And if you start having
• 1:47:29
  competitions that are saying we're going to do 9 next year
• 1:47:32
  because we want to be more unique, I think it gets to be
• 1:47:35
  way too much. Are you saying there's too much?
• 1:47:39
  Are you saying we're working on too much?
• 1:47:41
  We're competing. Too much?
• 1:47:43
  Yes, very much so as. Far what?
• 1:47:49
  What other guardrails could they be there be?
• 1:47:56
  Timing right I I think putting four on one weekend may not be
• 1:48:01
  the best right have a bit better like forethought as to win
• 1:48:07
  competitions are scheduled. I think this year was probably a
• 1:48:13
  little bit of a weird one for that just because everybody was
• 1:48:16
  scrambling to figure it out and pull it off.
• 1:48:19
  If we go forward, I think that probably will be less than
• 1:48:22
  issue. Yeah, I mean, like again, you
• 1:48:25
  have two European ones and they're basically back-to-back
• 1:48:28
  or they're back-to-back weekends, right?
• 1:48:31
  Then you have North America, that you have three and four
• 1:48:33
  weeks at the very end of the season.
• 1:48:37
  I, I feel like if you could figure out a way to maybe spread
• 1:48:40
  those out more evenly so that they're, they're not all on the
• 1:48:43
  same weekend, that might help, You know, just try to see if
• 1:48:51
  there's anything else that you guys thought, like what, what
• 1:48:54
  oversight should CrossFit play when it comes to this?
• 1:48:59
  See, I like the grind. You just wanted to.
• 1:49:03
  No, I think I think you should be make a choice.
• 1:49:07
  I think I think most of them would do one and then I think a
• 1:49:11
  good portion of them would do 2. And if you don't make the second
• 1:49:15
  one, then you just prepare for the online qualifier and like
• 1:49:19
  you see who's made it and who has it.
• 1:49:22
  Like say somebody like like pick a name.
• 1:49:27
  Anybody really good name? Hopper.
• 1:49:33
  OK, so say Hopper. Didn't like it?
• 1:49:39
  My mom's leaving, say Hopper didn't make it.
• 1:49:44
  He's got to beat guys like like Ty Jenkins more Ex Phoebe,
• 1:49:48
  you're the last. Chance.
• 1:49:53
  The I wanted to bring up the points score or the scoring
• 1:49:56
  format. I understand the the point here.
• 1:50:00
  The problem is, is that there's different amounts of athletes at
• 1:50:03
  every single event. You can't.
• 1:50:05
  I guess you could use game scoring.
• 1:50:07
  That they use Should there be a limit?
• 1:50:09
  Should there be a limit on how many should be able to compete?
• 1:50:12
  Like are we OK with Wildland saying hey, 80 athletes is cool?
• 1:50:16
  No, I mean Tyler stay. On wildland next year.
• 1:50:19
  I think that's self limiting because athletes are going to be
• 1:50:23
  like, yeah, there's there's too many people going to that one.
• 1:50:26
  I'm just not going to go right. And so that'll start to
• 1:50:30
  recalibrate itself. I think I I don't really care.
• 1:50:33
  Like if you can sell those tickets, just sell them.
• 1:50:35
  I it's fine. I.
• 1:50:37
  Agree. The best like and again here I'm
• 1:50:41
  using this argument, the best will make it, but the top 20,
• 1:50:45
  like if you have 80 athletes, the top 20, we're going to.
• 1:50:48
  Be in the top 20, the bottom, the bottom 40.
• 1:50:50
  We're just not even close to what right needed to be.
• 1:50:54
  Are we doing it next year, Tyler?
• 1:50:56
  Yeah, Hell yeah. We'll.
• 1:50:57
  We'll spend, will you? Will you like combine with Savon
• 1:51:00
  to pay for our trip? Yeah, You guys actually qualify?
• 1:51:05
  I. Feel like I feel like qualified
• 1:51:06
  business. Expense a GoFundMe Oh yeah yeah
• 1:51:10
  counts as like a like a work thing it.
• 1:51:12
  Is not. We can write it off.
• 1:51:14
  Yeah, we can write it off on. What about qualifiers?
• 1:51:20
  No. You don't care, it's each
• 1:51:24
  competition gets their own. Opening.
• 1:51:27
  I'm I'm fine with how? It went this year.
• 1:51:29
  You're OK? You're OK with Mayhem just
• 1:51:31
  inviting people and then others have an online qualifier, others
• 1:51:35
  using the open? Yep, Yeah, OK, All that.
• 1:51:39
  It gave us a lot to talk about and I think it it pretty much
• 1:51:43
  worked out. I think it was good that the
• 1:51:46
  East and the West sort of split and then Norcal should have been
• 1:51:50
  like this last chance, this real last chance qualifier until it
• 1:51:53
  came out with the last chance qualifier on the American side,
• 1:51:58
  the European thing. It's sort of just, I don't know
• 1:52:02
  how that one worked. Anybody could go to those.
• 1:52:05
  Anybody could go to everything except for Rebel, Renegade
• 1:52:08
  Games, Syndicate and QFX and Copacur.
• 1:52:13
  Copacur was limited. Yeah, I'm good with it.
• 1:52:19
  OK. Now, if you're, if you're
• 1:52:23
  getting outside of the like, if you're going way outside the
• 1:52:25
  rails on this one and like you're just picking somebody
• 1:52:27
  who's terrible. But I mean, like even what was
• 1:52:30
  that guy that was on Pedro's show, on the debate show
• 1:52:35
  Australian Cat? And he had like he had done well
• 1:52:39
  years and years ago and then fighting it back.
• 1:52:41
  I mean, you can make the argument that that's way outside
• 1:52:43
  the rails, but I was still OK with it.
• 1:52:46
  Again, if you haven't, if you can put as many people in the
• 1:52:49
  competition as you want, it doesn't really matter.
• 1:52:53
  That's fair. OK.
• 1:52:57
  I, I like the Wild West as much as possible.
• 1:53:00
  I just think that number of events and some some timing of
• 1:53:04
  it and I think they got to figure out some way to to limit
• 1:53:07
  the number of online qualifiers in the season.
• 1:53:11
  I think we all like the wild, Wild West, we just care about
• 1:53:14
  different things. I would agree with that, yes.
• 1:53:19
  Yeah, that, that, that is for sure.
• 1:53:22
  All right. I think that's it.
• 1:53:23
  You didn't have one more thing you wanted to do.
• 1:53:26
  No, no. All right.
• 1:53:28
  I actually have something coming out here pretty soon.
• 1:53:33
  It's you got to. Go to the bathroom.
• 1:53:35
  No, it's a it's a bit of a challenge.
• 1:53:37
  More T-shirts. No, no, it's a it's going to be
• 1:53:40
  a challenge that I'm going to put out to everybody.
• 1:53:42
  And if somebody can do it, you'll get $1000.
• 1:53:46
  Better not be 50 ring muscle UPS.
• 1:53:48
  It's not 50 ring muscle UPS, but it's not for Tyler.
• 1:53:51
  But although we should, we should clarify your guidelines
• 1:53:53
  and we should plant, we should plan a date, but it's going to
• 1:53:55
  be called J Wise Gauntlet. So stay tuned.
• 1:53:58
  And if somebody can do it, I'll give you $1000.
• 1:54:01
  Well, I'm going to be partnered with a couple people to give you
• 1:54:04
  $1000. It is, I am, I am paying.
• 1:54:08
  I am paying too, but I can't do 1000.
• 1:54:11
  If a whole bunch of people do it, I can't do it do that right.
• 1:54:14
  So, but stay tuned. Awesome.
• 1:54:17
  So yeah, yeah, we can talk about after it's OK because you're one
• 1:54:20
  of the people that's going to help me pay for it.
• 1:54:22
  But Tyler let's we're going to go 40 for 5 minutes, right?
• 1:54:30
  Have you got in touch with Sarah?
• 1:54:33
  Why do I need to get in touch with Sarah?
• 1:54:36
  We're just going to buy you a computer if you can do it.
• 1:54:39
  At this point it was just a challenge I just throwing the
• 1:54:42
  computer out the window. I don't think you can do it.
• 1:54:46
  I don't think you can either. 45 minutes, I can do that.
• 1:54:50
  All right, cool, cool. So Susan's entered 42.
• 1:54:52
  Good deal. I mean, like we're going to I'm
• 1:54:54
  going to put some stuff behind it.
• 1:54:55
  I'm hoping to get like Jr. behind it and then step on
• 1:54:58
  podcast behind it. Hopefully Hitler behind it.
• 1:55:01
  It's going to be I'm going to try to make it a thing.
• 1:55:03
  And I don't think, I don't think anybody in the world can do it,
• 1:55:08
  putting that out. There except for you.
• 1:55:10
  JY is not it. Why does spin look like this is
• 1:55:13
  the first to hear of this? Because it is the first time I'm
• 1:55:16
  hearing it? I have no idea.
• 1:55:17
  Well, I had to like I had to like get it together, but so
• 1:55:21
  Tyler, 40 ring muscle UPS and 5 minutes.
• 1:55:25
  Do we want to we want to go live at some point this week for you.

  Like it's English. It's like, it like like say like
• 1:57:04
  The Avengers was like that. We watched The Avengers and then
