  The doctor of the future will give no medicine.
• 0:12
  You were an elite marathon runner.
• 0:14
  I would say the last thing you want to do is start running.
• 0:18
  Cancer is very preventable. It's not what do you believe,
• 0:21
  it's what the data tell us. The evidence is massive to
• 0:23
  support that. I could take you off of your
• 0:28
  medications. You've heard plenty about how
• 0:31
  fat he'd turn into ketones, and I'm here to tell you that you're
• 0:34
  not hearing enough. I want everyone in the world to
• 0:40
  know that. Welcome to the Spin.

• 1:53
  You can get more shirts if you want, but either way, if you're
• 1:57
  going to be in Knoxville, TN, you need this shirt because
• 2:00
  there's going to be some special stuff for you.
• 2:04
  Maybe get on the floor a little bit, Syndicate the spin
• 2:06
  showdown. So get that shirt and there
• 2:10
  would be some special stuff for you guys.
• 2:12
  Go do that now, Magnus, I've never need to go outside.
• 2:17
  Never seen that palace. The lighting.
• 2:18
  It's the lighting. We are doing some home
• 2:22
  renovations and it's a little bit a little bit chaotic here,
• 2:27
  so it's a makeshift. Seemed like it was going well
• 2:30
  when I talked to you earlier this week.
• 2:33
  Yeah. You mean when I was hanging out
• 2:34
  in the RV trying to manage the dogs as they're doing hardwood
• 2:37
  floors? Yeah, it was fantastic.
• 2:39
  John, imagine Spin as stressed as you saw him at at Crash.
• 2:45
  This was like maybe one 110th of what how stressed he was in the
• 2:50
  RV during the renovation. It's true.
• 2:54
  It is true. It.
• 2:57
  Was just chaos. The so we had we had hardwood
• 3:00
  floors being installed and the dogs were out in the RV Tyler
• 3:04
  and I were trying to have a call to try to talk about some
• 3:06
  planning for the live stream. And like, so one of the one of
• 3:13
  the people do like doing the flooring would walk outside.
• 3:15
  The dogs would see him and they would lose their mind and then
• 3:20
  like Gray would come in and then they would lose their mind.
• 3:24
  And then like it was just like constant there's barking going
• 3:27
  crazy. I'm in the RV like I don't have
• 3:28
  a lot of space. Contractor shenanigans, all the.
• 3:32
  Yeah, it was just insane. So.
• 3:34
  Just a lot of stuff going on I guess.
• 3:36
  Yeah, running, running the live stream at Crescendo was much
• 3:39
  easier. So anyway, all right, we got a
• 3:43
  good show for you in 15 minutes. The one and only Jr.
• 3:48
  Hal will be here to go through the workouts for the teams.
• 3:54
  The coolest team? Programming I've seen in years.
• 3:57
  I'm sure that it's the exact same program for individuals.
• 4:00
  So if you are an individual competing, I'm sure that's just
• 4:02
  what you need to watch because it'll be the exact same.
• 4:05
  We'll talk about some stolen tickets that may be preempted,
• 4:10
  though, by name that athlete, Mr. Dallin Pepper.
• 4:13
  No, he said 8:00. No now.
• 4:17
  Yeah, he changed it. Hey Dallin, why don't you text
• 4:19
  us? Tell us what?
• 4:19
  Yeah, tell us when you want to do this and just let us know
• 4:21
  whenever you show up. We're good.
• 4:23
  I'm sorry. Come on, John.
• 4:26
  It's all right. It's all right.
• 4:27
  And then finally, I want to talk about some fake IDs in the
• 4:31
  CrossFit Open breaking news this afternoon.
• 4:33
  But first, as always, viewer comments.
• 4:38
  We got some good ones and you know this is your reminder to
• 4:43
  sign up. We passed the 11,000 mark at
• 4:45
  Crash Crescendo. It's just that just blew past it
• 4:49
  and now we are on our on the March to 12,000.
• 4:53
  We are only 929 away. That's nine days away.
• 5:00
  So if we get to, I've heard if we get to 12,000 before
• 5:05
  syndicate, John will do 1 bar muscle up for every new
• 5:10
  subscriber up to that 12,000. So he's going to do at least
• 5:13
  929. I'll share the load with.
• 5:16
  John Oh yeah, split those. OK, 929 unbroken bar muscle UPS.
• 5:23
  Unbroken, yeah, bar muscle UPS I think would be easier on your
• 5:27
  body than rings. I mean not, I mean probably
• 5:31
  until you get about 900 and those last 20-9 would probably
• 5:34
  be a little too much for you, but.
• 5:35
  Hey now, I just started going too fast.
• 5:38
  Until then, I think you'd be fun.
• 5:40
  Just to switch it up every now to get like 900 of any one thing
• 5:43
  is crazy. Just to have the option of bar
• 5:47
  it would be nice. Yeah, just go for that.
• 5:50
  All right, First comment, just a reminder, leave a comment and we
• 5:53
  will get to your comments next week.
• 5:56
  First up, SPM 40. SPM 40 was at the World Fitness
• 6:02
  Project this weekend in London. The venue was nice, the event
• 6:06
  was well run. Seating was for about 4000
• 6:10
  people by his estimate. Attendance was probably 1500 to
• 6:14
  2000 on Saturday. 5 heats is a lot.
• 6:17
  Races in top 2 heats were good, $35,000 payout.
• 6:23
  Payout isn't bad either. All in all, SPM 40 was happy
• 6:28
  that he went good. Did you watch the any of the
• 6:32
  World Fitness project, Tyler? I don't think I did not one
• 6:37
  event. John, did you watch it?
• 6:40
  Yeah, I was. Do you agree with the five
• 6:43
  event? 5 heats was a little rough.
• 6:46
  I did not watch the first heat. So you watch some of it.
• 6:50
  Yeah, I, I didn't watch any. I didn't watch any of it live.
• 6:53
  So it wasn't. As you just Fast forward.
• 6:56
  Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I will say when you do 1010
• 6:59
  heats of the same event and the first couple are you know the
• 7:05
  ass heats could be a little rough.
• 7:07
  Yeah, hey, those people matter, but you know.
• 7:11
  Why did you watch them? John, I don't care to watch
• 7:13
  them. They don't matter that much.
• 7:17
  Brandon Gilbert. Brandon Gilbert, If I buy a
• 7:21
  shirt during this show, can I get a guaranteed pick?
• 7:26
  I think he means a picture with y'all at Knoxville, Yes?
• 7:30
  And you know what, Brandon, you'll also get.
• 7:32
  Maybe Brandon's competing? You'll also get 2 weeks free
• 7:36
  from JY Barbell Fitness. Go to jybarbell.com if you want
• 7:40
  to do CrossFit with a little bit of a strength bias to it.
• 7:43
  Get strong and get fit at the same time, Brandon, Yeah.
• 7:49
  Just go go to JY Barbell, tell them that you bought a Syndicate
• 7:53
  Crown shirt and John will give you 2 weeks free.
• 7:57
  So yeah, I was impressed by their production.
• 8:05
  Now their setup looks a little bit more expensive than our our
• 8:08
  setup at at Crescendo, but just a little bit.
• 8:13
  I wish their lighting was. I wish that the lighting was
• 8:15
  better until the Lyft event. I wish they would stop putting
• 8:18
  lights directly overhead. It's all about the the the the
• 8:23
  the atmosphere. I just want to see the athletes.
• 8:28
  I don't, I don't know. When you bend over and like the
• 8:31
  light is from the top of your head and I can't see your face,
• 8:35
  that's a problem. You're asking too much.
• 8:38
  But just watching it, I just felt meh.
• 8:41
  And I feel like that's where a lot of people are right now.
• 8:45
  It's just you go from watching, if you watch the legends and the
• 8:52
  race at the final, the final heat, final event for the women
• 8:57
  and you're watching and trying to see who's going to qualify
• 8:59
  out of Dome it Fish Brandon. And then you watch World fitness
• 9:06
  Project and it's like, that's cool, but it doesn't really
• 9:11
  matter until August. But then it doesn't really
• 9:14
  really matter until the finals in December, like right, the
• 9:18
  amount of time that you have. For anything to matter.
• 9:22
  Yeah. And I don't think we have the
• 9:23
  attention span for that. Like it's not.
• 9:27
  I've, I've said it before and I'll say it again, there's no,
• 9:30
  there's no story that's worth, it's really worth it to, to view
• 9:35
  the WFP. And I'm, I'm sorry I have to say
• 9:37
  that, but it's just like there's nothing really that matters
• 9:42
  until the last two events. I think the fake weights are
• 9:44
  pretty cool, but I I want to pull this up.
• 9:49
  I want to hold on, hold on. I want to pull this up really
• 9:50
  quick. CJ just had a baby with his wife
• 9:55
  on on Tuesday so. Does that mean he's coming to
• 9:59
  syndicate now? I do not know, I cannot speak
• 10:03
  for him, but. CJ Bron was 12 days old last
• 10:08
  year when I went. Just do it dude.
• 10:10
  Your wife won't be pissed at all.
• 10:12
  I was on a pod. I'd be happy for you.
• 10:14
  Happy gracious birth. And my wife is still not mad
• 10:18
  about it. That's.
• 10:19
  I don't think we let you do that show.
• 10:22
  Oh no, I was. I was on.
• 10:23
  Yeah, he did what? I remember he did.
• 10:25
  I was there for like 30 minutes. That's.
• 10:27
  Right, I wanted to put the birth on the screen.
• 10:30
  That would have been smart. She wasn't about it.
• 10:32
  I wanted to introduce Abby Grace to the world, but I'm glad and
• 10:37
  trust me, she's still not mad about it.
• 10:39
  So is Leslie. Yeah.
• 10:43
  Fake weights. There's no way they're fake.
• 10:47
  I'm not saying they are. I just want to know how you
• 10:50
  could I'm, I'm look, John, you're, you're in my sphere of
• 10:54
  of interest now. I know you're getting in there
• 10:56
  now. How would you?
• 10:58
  Do it if you could do it. I don't know, but like literally
• 11:02
  it like you make them 1020 lbs more, 10 to 20 lbs more and
• 11:08
  that's all that seems just happening.
• 11:11
  You don't think there's anything to the?
• 11:14
  Environment You saw the people in the.
• 11:16
  Stand no, not the environment. Super hyped.
• 11:19
  The fact that the that like they have 8 minutes to pull it off
• 11:24
  the events like they're like the event totally doesn't matter.
• 11:27
  Sure. I buy all of that.
• 11:29
  Then why have I ever seen that in training ever?
• 11:32
  They Max out in training too. I like, like.
• 11:35
  And there is no time, you know, you could take 12 minutes and
• 11:38
  none of them have done anything close to what they're doing
• 11:42
  there. I would say that almost none of
• 11:44
  them Max out their deadlift. It's not just deadlift dude.
• 11:47
  Go look at the jerk, the jerk, everybody PR D everything too.
• 11:50
  And then the clean. I want Austin Haffler to clean
• 11:53
  430 lbs tomorrow and see if he could.
• 11:55
  I bet money in his gym that he can't do it.
• 11:58
  I I want James to pull 570 tomorrow in his gym.
• 12:01
  I bet money he can't do it. If if it was anybody but Rogue,
• 12:08
  I'd lend lend a little bit more credence.
• 12:10
  There's zero chance that anybody is giving from Rogue, those guys
• 12:15
  a way to have less weight than it's.
• 12:17
  Yeah. No, listen, I think that it's
• 12:20
  real. I'm just saying it's worth
• 12:22
  looking into. I'll.
• 12:23
  I'll give you a different conspiracy theory around the
• 12:25
  same thing do. You think we landed on the moon?
• 12:29
  No. OK, so I think, I do think we
• 12:32
  landed on the moon. But if somebody said, but if
• 12:35
  somebody was like sheep, we didn't land on the moon.
• 12:38
  We didn't land on the moon. I'm you know, there's enough of.
• 12:42
  You're willing to hear them out? Yeah.
• 12:43
  No, no, no, I'm not going to say they're wrong.
• 12:47
  That's all I'm saying. I, I, I'm going to, if you ask
• 12:49
  me, I think we landed on it, but I'm not going to say they're
• 12:53
  wrong. That's all I'm saying.
• 12:56
  And that, that is how I feel about this fake weight thing.
• 13:00
  I believe they're real. I think there's enough like
• 13:05
  sketchiness out there that I'm not going to say somebody's
• 13:08
  wrong if they don't believe it. That's all that guys like me me
• 13:11
  need to convince you of a lot of things.
• 13:13
  You know, just leave that door open just a little.
• 13:15
  Bit see, I think the weights are real.
• 13:17
  However, have you noticed this? This was the first time that
• 13:20
  they they did pounds instead of kilos in any of the lifts.
• 13:25
  No, I'm pretty sure they did kilos every other time.
• 13:30
  I think at least in Copenhagen they did.
• 13:32
  And they didn't do kilos in London.
• 13:36
  I think they did it because they wanted to see that 600 number on
• 13:39
  the deadlift versus like 280. That's a good, that's a good
• 13:46
  point. Yeah.
• 13:48
  All right. We need to one question we got
• 13:51
  through one we got. No, we he can sit there.
• 13:53
  He can sit there. He's 5 minutes early.
• 13:55
  All right, Next up, we got to be fast.
• 13:57
  That's how I feel. Go ahead.
• 14:00
  Yeah, Next up, what am I doing? Nope, wrong one your comments.
• 14:05
  If he was at WFP this would have been £600.
• 14:07
  That's all I quit. All right, at Byron, Byron
• 14:10
  Smith. I don't think CrossFit as a
• 14:12
  sport will survive if Flow Elite takes over all the live streams.
• 14:16
  I doubt that enough people will pay to watch people exercise on
• 14:19
  their phones. The sport surviving is harsh.
• 14:24
  The it'll survive. We would have died already if it
• 14:27
  wasn't going to survive. We've tried to kill ourselves 18
• 14:30
  times. We're really, really bad at it.
• 14:33
  Flo Flo elite didn't work out before.
• 14:35
  Look, if if we have to have something behind a pay wall and
• 14:40
  has to be on one platform, why doesn't CrossFit just put it a
• 14:46
  membership behind CrossFit and everything is on there.
• 14:51
  I I would rather have my money go to CrossFit if every of all
• 14:56
  the competitions are there. Not saying you should do this.
• 15:00
  CrossFit. Don't do it.
• 15:01
  Don't. Oh, now that we're saying it,
• 15:03
  it's never going to happen. Bruce, don't do it.
• 15:06
  Don't do it, but that I'd rather do that than give my money to
• 15:09
  Flow Elite. That's just.
• 15:09
  No do do it. Do it for like 2-2 dollars.
• 15:12
  Don't do the whole 30 dollar thing.
• 15:14
  Just do it for $2.00. Do something like that.
• 15:17
  Don't do this $30 thing. Oh, go to YouTube.
• 15:19
  Do it on YouTube. That's what I mean.
• 15:21
  You do it on YouTube and you have a membership and you have
• 15:23
  all kinds of different other things that you could get.
• 15:26
  I don't know. Next up at should.
• 15:31
  Bob and Joe have been awesome for the Masters community, but
• 15:34
  it should not have been a surprise to anyone how this comp
• 15:37
  was programmed. There is plenty of evidence from
• 15:40
  past Legends events and the last two Masters Games for everybody
• 15:44
  to understand that this is how a Legend semifinal will be
• 15:48
  programmed. Any athlete that got shocked by
• 15:51
  it just didn't do their homework before choosing to go with their
• 15:54
  over a different semifinal competition.
• 15:58
  Didn't what's her face kind of say that that we had on John?
• 16:05
  Jamie. Jamie.
• 16:06
  Yeah. Jamie, Didn't she say that?
• 16:07
  She's like, I'm not really surprised.
• 16:09
  I think in the masters community.
• 16:11
  No, I mean like she expected it. Yeah.
• 16:15
  I mean yes, and again like knowing that the masters
• 16:18
  compositions have so many heats they have to be short.
• 16:21
  Yeah. They just have to be and.
• 16:23
  So what does that mean? It's going to be power output.
• 16:27
  Right. Next up at Ashley E People out
• 16:32
  here claiming it's autism and don't know anything about it.
• 16:35
  Well, I'll have you know that my daughter actually has the tism
• 16:40
  and if guess the athlete was the only clip I'd ever seen of John,
• 16:43
  I would have thought he had it too.
• 16:47
  You guys are great, thanks for the laugh.
• 16:49
  Dude, this comment is amazing this comment because the whole
• 16:53
  time you're like, oh, here we go and then and then it just it's
• 16:59
  definition of Haddis in the first half.
• 17:02
  Ashley, wonderful comment. Shout out when I read this the
• 17:06
  for the first time I did I did ILOLD it was very.
• 17:12
  Fun. Next up at Booty Cat 37 is back.
• 17:17
  Why are synchronized movements a valid test in a team
• 17:21
  competition? I mean, I kind of get it,
• 17:23
  fitness and cooperation, but I personally just find it
• 17:27
  completely uncompelling. I don't think you can answer.
• 17:31
  I don't think you can answer that job.
• 17:32
  I think I think the right person to answer that is Mr. Jr.
• 17:37
  Howell. That's right, Jr. are.
• 17:43
  They uncompelling. Sir.
• 17:44
  Yeah. Are they uncompelling you?
• 17:47
  Programmed Syndicate? We'll go through those here in a
• 17:48
  minute. Yeah, I, I I can.
• 17:53
  You say I'm Batman for us, please.
• 17:56
  I kind of get down. A touch.
• 17:58
  I kind of get why why he's asking.
• 18:01
  I think it's a valid test because if everyone was just
• 18:05
  gonna do the workout on their own relay style, we should just
• 18:09
  put them into an individual field.
• 18:11
  And I think, yeah, like, would it be awesome to put 40 judges
• 18:17
  out there and have everyone in 40 lanes, but every 4th person
• 18:21
  is on a team and just have them do every single workout straight
• 18:25
  through and then Add all the times together?
• 18:27
  But I think that would be even harder to watch than team
• 18:29
  programming already is to watch. But I mean, even in other
• 18:32
  sports, too. Yeah, there is a, there is a
• 18:35
  teamwork element to it. And I guess if you're not a die
• 18:39
  hard CrossFit fan, you can't see kind of the beauty and people
• 18:42
  moving as one unit. But like people watch sports,
• 18:45
  right. And when when lineman pole on a
• 18:48
  running play, it looks really cool, like when everyone is very
• 18:51
  In Sync and you see that in other sports.
• 18:55
  I don't know. Yeah, I don't, I don't know that
• 18:57
  synchronized movements are any less compelling than than
• 19:00
  individual movements are. But I do think it's necessary,
• 19:04
  especially to to get people to the CrossFit Games to know that
• 19:08
  whether they're all holding one thing or holding nothing at all,
• 19:12
  that they can all move as one collective unit I think is
• 19:14
  really important. Yeah, I mean, you need to have
• 19:19
  some form of teamwork and I don't know how else you do that
• 19:23
  than synchro. Or just carrying a litter 200
• 19:29
  meters. Something like that you could do
• 19:31
  that. It's like, it's like when birds
• 19:35
  fly, like if you just see a bunch of birds you see, you see
• 19:39
  a bunch of birds fly in the sky, like look at those birds.
• 19:41
  But when you see the Flying V, it's beautiful.
• 19:45
  The formation. Yeah.
• 19:48
  Speaking of synchro movements, I think we should probably get
• 19:52
  into Syndicate crown workouts because Jr. likes the synchro
• 19:59
  movements and we see that. Released the The Syndicate Crown
• 20:04
  team workouts were released this afternoon.
• 20:09
  John, what do you think of them because you have not seen these
• 20:12
  up until this afternoon? I'm excited to see Mayhem versus
• 20:19
  Whip I. My mind is fresh on off a crash
• 20:25
  and we saw repeatedly that Mayhem's teamwork kind of
• 20:29
  overcame whips greater individual talent, if you even
• 20:33
  want to call it that. And I would say that these
• 20:37
  workouts lend itself towards that again.
• 20:41
  So that's what I that that's where my mind jumped to the
• 20:47
  throat. The worm thruster workouts.
• 20:48
  My favorite one. Jr.
• 20:53
  For those who watch Crescendo and now they see these workouts,
• 20:58
  how do you see them differing just kind of in an overall
• 21:02
  structure? Yeah, I mean, I, I, I knew that.
• 21:05
  Well, I was, I was hopeful that a lot of the same teams would
• 21:08
  come to both. So because of that, when, you
• 21:11
  know, me and Wilson started talking about these workouts
• 21:14
  back in like Thanksgiving of 2025, I hadn't programmed
• 21:18
  Crescendo yet because Syndicate's kind of like the
• 21:21
  highlight of the year for me. And then when we got the
• 21:24
  Syndicate workouts, you know, maybe 90% done, I was like, OK,
• 21:29
  I, I don't want to be super repetitive at Crescendo.
• 21:32
  And I, and I, I need them to have maybe a little bit of
• 21:35
  overlap, right? Like, yeah, there's some grindy
• 21:38
  stuff like the litter workout. You know, the first workout is
• 21:42
  very basic classic, maybe even like Saturday partner workout
• 21:46
  style CrossFit. And then you see the trail run.
• 21:50
  So there's a little bit of grit, but I think actually Jessica and
• 21:53
  Rosick said this when I was at the main classic, she came up to
• 21:56
  me and she was like crescendo is really gritty.
• 21:59
  Like it's very it's a little bit and and she probably meant that
• 22:02
  like in a way that like it's not as as sexy or maybe as like it's
• 22:08
  not as yeah, it's not as skill dominant as I usually program
• 22:12
  competitions. It's a little bit more, you
• 22:14
  know, the kettlebell kettlebell workout.
• 22:17
  Well, you know, plate push, burpee, trail running and
• 22:20
  squats, heavy front squats. Like just trying to it's a
• 22:25
  little bit more attrition based programming and like base
• 22:29
  capacity with with some skill, but not as specific as honestly
• 22:34
  what I think Syndicate is so not.
• 22:36
  Like a sexy skill. Yeah, you you're, you're getting
• 22:39
  a lot more of the, of the, you know, three-way synchro muscle
• 22:42
  ups and, you know, 300 strict handstand push ups shared
• 22:46
  between four people. So if you have one or two people
• 22:48
  that aren't very good at them, someone's ended up doing 100,
• 22:51
  you know, so you have some more of the high skill stuff and then
• 22:54
  maybe some low skill stuff too. I mean, when's the last time we
• 22:57
  saw just straight up synchro pull ups and synchro chestabar?
• 23:01
  It's usually a little bit more spread out, like you might see
• 23:05
  that movement in a chipper or something, but to do like a
• 23:07
  back-to-back that's very, very upper body push and pull focused
• 23:12
  is is is not something you see very often for for competition.
• 23:16
  So without rambling too much about every single event, I
• 23:19
  tried to make them very different if I if I'm being
• 23:22
  honest. Did programming syndicate and
• 23:25
  then going back and doing crescendo to make that easier or
• 23:28
  more difficult? No, I, I think for me the most
• 23:32
  stressful part of it was thinking about what maybe people
• 23:36
  would do in quarterfinals because you know, a few years
• 23:38
  ago they had team quarterfinals and a lot of those workouts were
• 23:40
  really tough. There was like a four way
• 23:42
  synchro front squat with handstand walk.
• 23:44
  There was a, a synchro shuttle run, dumbbell thruster, like
• 23:48
  some really aggressive type workouts for teams.
• 23:51
  So I was kind of thinking to myself, what the, I wonder what
• 23:54
  the teams are going to do because I don't want them to do
• 23:56
  team quarterfinals and then crescendo and then syndicate and
• 24:00
  have a ton of overlap. But this year it it kind of
• 24:03
  worked out to where teams didn't do any intermediary step in
• 24:07
  between those two competitions in the open.
• 24:10
  So it kind of gave me a blank slate, you know, as far as, hey,
• 24:14
  hopefully they don't do a clean ladder in the open.
• 24:16
  But other than that, it was just kind of like, I think these
• 24:18
  events are going to be fine regardless of what comes out.
• 24:22
  Yeah. As we get into the workouts
• 24:25
  themselves, have you had people reach out to you asking any
• 24:29
  questions about details on it? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 24:33
  Lots of questions, most of which I can I could answer and a lot
• 24:36
  of which that I answered in the comments section.
• 24:38
  That's kind of what I've been doing all day today, to be
• 24:40
  honest. No, those questions were
• 24:41
  answered in the comments. You have to watch this show to
• 24:43
  get all the answers. Yeah, staying, staying on top of
• 24:46
  that. But you know, a lot of the flow
• 24:48
  and movement standard stuff will will come out soon, you know,
• 24:52
  and they'll be available online. But a lot of that stuff, you
• 24:56
  know, me and Wilson already talked.
• 24:58
  I'm going to I'm going to divulge some of that stuff here
• 25:01
  just because it's not anything advantageous.
• 25:05
  The only thing that you're really not going to get any
• 25:07
  information on is is the litter as far as you know what kind it
• 25:13
  is or what it, you know, people are going to get to touch it at
• 25:17
  Syndicate at the athlete brief. They're going to have like 90
• 25:20
  minutes to play with it, which is awesome that we're giving
• 25:23
  them a chance to do that. But other than that, I mean,
• 25:25
  anyone can Google a litter. It was at the CrossFit Games
• 25:28
  201617 and 18. So if you did your digging, you
• 25:31
  could you could buy one and and definitely practice with it.
• 25:36
  Thanks, Jeff. Say your name because I.
• 25:37
  Wouldn't not. It's not a whole bunch of
• 25:39
  kittens. Weird.
• 25:42
  Sorry. That godspin dude.
• 25:51
  That's good. Literally.
• 25:52
  Yeah. Just going to lunge in with the
• 25:53
  kittens. All right, First event, mirror.
• 25:56
  Mirror. I am not going to read through
• 25:58
  it and bore you to death with all of it, but it a lot of GHD
• 26:02
  sit ups, ski box jump overs, rowing burpees over the worm and
• 26:08
  then back through the other way. Yes, Ben, I would say that 50
• 26:12
  per person is actually the opposite of a lot.
• 26:14
  It's I would say it's very tame for the amount of the amount of
• 26:18
  GHDS. Rude, John.
• 26:20
  Rude. No, I'm trying to look at the.
• 26:22
  I'm trying to find it on Instagram.
• 26:24
  The. On the screen.
• 26:27
  To make it bigger for me, I'm getting old.
• 26:29
  But yeah, the basically the flow of this workout is everyone
• 26:34
  starts at the worm and then you have a male female pair, they'll
• 26:38
  go different directions. One will start working on 50
• 26:40
  synchro GHDS while the other ones start working on 50 synchro
• 26:43
  box jump over. When they get done, they'll move
• 26:46
  to their machine. They'll split those calories.
• 26:48
  And then when they're both done, they'll meet back at the worm.
• 26:51
  They'll be they'll be looking at each other, hence the name
• 26:55
  mirror mirror. So they're going to do the
• 26:56
  synchro burpees actually facing each other instead of all facing
• 26:59
  the same direction like we usually see for four person
• 27:02
  synchro. And then once they finish their
• 27:04
  fifty, they'll just crossover each other and move the opposite
• 27:07
  direction toward the implement they did not do before the
• 27:12
  burpees. So in essence, both pairs do up
• 27:15
  and back chipper, but they're both different up and back
• 27:17
  chippers. One will go in one order, one
• 27:19
  will go in the other. Do you find one of those
• 27:21
  finishing way faster than the other, or they're both going to
• 27:26
  end up about the same time? Hopefully not way faster or else
• 27:29
  I'm just very under overestimating teams abilities,
• 27:32
  but. Box jump over should be the
• 27:34
  slowest thing, yeah. I think the transition from
• 27:39
  Burpee, so you from trunk flexion to 2 trunk flexion
• 27:43
  movements on the GHD and the ski, I think that's the nastier
• 27:48
  of the order to go in. So I think actually on the back
• 27:52
  half, I believe that the the ski is going to be slower than the
• 27:55
  row and which will hopefully balance out that box jump over
• 28:00
  with the GHD. So if I had to bet, even though
• 28:03
  the transition in and out of the skier gets faster than getting
• 28:06
  on and off the rower, if I had to bet, I would think that the
• 28:11
  the skiers and the GHD set upers get done a little bit slower,
• 28:14
  but it could be the other way around.
• 28:16
  I think the timing is pretty close though now.
• 28:21
  This is a different like historically we've always seen
• 28:25
  the first event be the long run, but you wait a little bit to do
• 28:30
  that. Any reason on that?
• 28:32
  Just to mix it up? No, I actually kind of just
• 28:34
  wanted to to get the jitters out with something, I guess eat
• 28:38
  maybe equally as mindless as like a long aerobic workout with
• 28:42
  just something that like I said, this is just very, very pure
• 28:47
  base capacity type fitness. Can you go hard on machines?
• 28:51
  Can you not stop on the 50 synchro movement?
• 28:54
  And then can you not stop on 50 burpees?
• 28:56
  Because there are teams that will separate themselves a lot
• 28:59
  just on the speed that they're able to maintain on those 50
• 29:02
  burpees or not maintain. Yeah.
• 29:05
  So it's just really simple. No, weightlifting was 100% on
• 29:09
  purpose because as we see in this next workout, that's very,
• 29:12
  very weightlifting biased. It was really important to me to
• 29:14
  have at least one workout where there wasn't any weightlifting
• 29:18
  at all, and then some some other meaningful gymnastics and stuff
• 29:22
  mixed in too. And then you immediately change
• 29:25
  course and go to a very high execution workout.
• 29:29
  I mean, I guess it. Doesn't matter, I don't know.
• 29:33
  Last bar bell. Yeah.
• 29:35
  I don't really know if it's high execution.
• 29:36
  I think it's more of just you can or you can't.
• 29:38
  It's interesting. A lot of the comments, the
• 29:41
  private comments and text that I got about this workout was that
• 29:45
  it was too aggressive, that it was too heavy, which kind of let
• 29:48
  me know that I did it correctly because because I, I know that
• 29:55
  everyone's not going to finish it.
• 29:56
  I think maybe 5 teams do or have they have both pairs that finish
• 30:00
  because the workout is split 5050.
• 30:02
  So the females, they have 50 points and the males have 50
• 30:06
  points. So they're both trying to work
• 30:07
  toward their 30 cleans, but they're resting while the other
• 30:11
  pair is working. I didn't want there to be a
• 30:15
  situation where they were just helping each other out.
• 30:20
  Like if you had a really weak athlete, if the males just did
• 30:23
  better, they could take all the brunt.
• 30:26
  Like, hey, just get 60 however you want.
• 30:28
  If the if the males get 40 of them and the females get 20 of
• 30:31
  them, it's fine. So I think this will also do its
• 30:35
  purpose of showing if a team has one or two or three or even 4
• 30:41
  people that just are not very strong.
• 30:44
  I think rounds 1-2 and three, everyone gets to play.
• 30:47
  Those are all weights that are very reasonable.
• 30:50
  But I think once we get to the three, 05215 tie breaks come
• 30:53
  into play a lot. And I think for some teams it's
• 30:56
  just going to be we need to get through that third round of
• 30:59
  cleans as fast as we can because we might not be able to get but
• 31:03
  a couple at that 4th weight. So I think you see a big gap
• 31:06
  from the round of 6 to the round of four.
• 31:10
  And then I think you see another big drop off to the teams that
• 31:13
  can do 4 at the three 35235. And then again, I think maybe
• 31:18
  you have a handful of teams that can finish it.
• 31:21
  So that's that's definitely the that's definitely the point is
• 31:24
  that I know I know a lot of teams are not going to finish
• 31:27
  it. And also I'm going to make sure
• 31:30
  that they all at least do the buy in, which to me is very not
• 31:33
  aggressive. So 88 legless for the guys, 4
• 31:37
  for the girls, and then a total of 12 rope climbs each.
• 31:42
  I do want to make sure they do those in the 240 double under so
• 31:45
  all those reps will be counted toward the cap.
• 31:48
  Obviously you'd be silly not to do those, but I still want
• 31:52
  everyone to get that pulling volume in because as we'll see
• 31:54
  later on, while the competition is very press centric, in my
• 31:58
  opinion, there's a lot of shoulders.
• 32:01
  There is some meaningful pulling coming and I and I just want to
• 32:04
  make sure that everyone has to do those reps.
• 32:07
  Watching that 355 five bar up go up because there is going to be
• 32:11
  I think limited, more limited teams that can actually pull it
• 32:14
  off and the 2:45. I actually think the 2:45 will
• 32:17
  be more important than the 355. Yeah, it's just going to be
• 32:20
  crazy to see that much weight. It's.
• 32:23
  We haven't seen that in a while, right?
• 32:25
  No, I don't. I don't know that.
• 32:26
  I don't know that that loading for for teams has specifically
• 32:29
  ever been programmed. Typically we just get, you know,
• 32:32
  Max out and you see teams hit big numbers, but not in a
• 32:36
  fitness based workout like this. I mean, I've talked to a couple
• 32:40
  teams already that know that they're going to finish at least
• 32:43
  their their pair is going to finish.
• 32:45
  And it's just like, yeah, we'll finish it, but I don't know if
• 32:48
  our counterparts will finish it. So I don't think it's crazy.
• 32:52
  I think the weight is really heavy.
• 32:54
  But also in testing, one of our testing males did 4 at 3:15 and
• 33:03
  two at 3:45 by himself. So the other athlete couldn't
• 33:07
  help him pass the third bar. And he did it pretty easily,
• 33:10
  honestly. So and and listen, he's not he's
• 33:14
  not like someone anyone would know.
• 33:16
  And he it's not Toller, right? It's not someone like that.
• 33:19
  It is, it is, it is just a really young kid that's strong.
• 33:24
  But when he did that, I said, you know what, if if he can
• 33:28
  handle that by himself and I want to bump him up a little
• 33:30
  bit, I think I could do it appropriately.
• 33:32
  So yeah, that was it was really good that we tested it.
• 33:37
  Initially it was 3 minutes on three minutes off, but that
• 33:39
  honestly made it too fast to get through the first few bars and
• 33:43
  there would just be people doing the buy in and then looking at
• 33:46
  each other. So the good thing about this
• 33:48
  workout is the cleans are anyhow, and a lot of people have
• 33:51
  asked so they're not mandatory squat.
• 33:53
  You'll see a lot of teams power early on.
• 33:56
  But yeah, I think most teams will have a strategy, right?
• 33:59
  If Tyler is our only chance to get reps at that 4th or 5th bar,
• 34:04
  then I'm then, then I'm probably going to do most of the 10 and
• 34:08
  the 8 and the six, right? I'm going to do, I'm going to do
• 34:11
  my rope climbs first and then I'm going to do my double under
• 34:14
  second. And then I'm going to run right
• 34:16
  to the bar and start ripping it because I need Tyler to be as as
• 34:19
  strong as possible for those last weights.
• 34:21
  So I think there will be a lot of strategy for for for most
• 34:23
  teams. Dude, I think this is I'm going
• 34:28
  to have to do some investigative research.
• 34:30
  This might be the one that Whip gets hurt at.
• 34:34
  I know, I know, Jr. That's not like what you care
• 34:36
  about. You care about, you know, the
• 34:38
  programming most of. All but I I definitely don't
• 34:40
  care about that because when these workouts were written,
• 34:42
  whip wasn't a team that was competing this.
• 34:44
  One no, I I understand that's where my mind jumps to is I
• 34:50
  don't know if Molly or Zoe can clean that maybe they can't.
• 34:53
  I'm I'm saying I need to figure out if they can or not 'cause I
• 34:56
  feel like I. Know they're, they're not,
• 34:58
  they're not going to be alone. They're going to be, they're
• 35:00
  going to be lots of teams that are like, Hey, if we PR, we can
• 35:03
  finish it, but only if we PR. So and, and, and I, I want to
• 35:06
  give that opportunity for, for some teams, maybe the 3rd or the
• 35:09
  4th weight is APR for some people.
• 35:11
  So it's another opportunity to do that just just in fitness and
• 35:16
  not just, you know, here's 10 minutes, go as heavy as you can.
• 35:20
  I, I do like to make people lift with, with some fatigue for
• 35:24
  sure. And I think a lot of people lift
• 35:26
  better and lift heavier that way.
• 35:27
  So. We'll know if they're fake
• 35:29
  weights if everybody finishes. I was.
• 35:31
  Getting ready to say if Wilson's got WFP weights.
• 35:33
  I think I'm going to get the last three PRS last.
• 35:36
  Week I mean I I agree dude, I agree I bet you this 355 looks
• 35:40
  heavier than 420 did there so. And in in testing.
• 35:45
  Just good information to know. The buy in was done at about
• 35:49
  halfway through the interval. So the interval's 2:30 and they
• 35:52
  were going to the barbell at about 1:15.
• 35:56
  So you know, 120 double unders, 6 row climbs, the double unders
• 36:00
  get done a little bit slower. So I mean you could get there
• 36:03
  and take a big rest, right? You can get there and take a
• 36:05
  minute rest before you, even before you even try to try to
• 36:09
  pull, which is kind of what I want.
• 36:11
  I want people to push the pace of the beginning and then I want
• 36:14
  people to get chalk belt up. I want the fans to get into it
• 36:18
  and start cheering like I think that's going to.
• 36:20
  It's going to be some cool moments like that, and with each
• 36:23
  of the sexes working at different times, I think it's
• 36:25
  going to be cool to actually focus on 2 athletes at a time.
• 36:29
  Where'd the name came from? The Bible.
• 36:34
  Heavy light, John. Translate.
• 36:39
  Yeah, What was really cool about this workout is naming it this.
• 36:44
  A lot of people who know Scripture are like, well, I know
• 36:49
  it has a yoke. And I only know that because I
• 36:51
  know I know the Bible. And I was like cool, awesome,
• 36:54
  cool and. Then it's not that whatsoever.
• 36:58
  So that that's definitely one of those like some are clues, some
• 37:01
  are not clues on purpose, so. It's Matthew, Matthew 1128, if
• 37:06
  anybody's curious about it. Just a reminder, sign up for JY
• 37:10
  Barbell and you will 100% finish this workout.
• 37:13
  So you have 3 weeks. Two of those will be.
• 37:15
  Free. Oh God, I'm not a miracle
• 37:17
  worker. I.
• 37:19
  Mean or get your money back. Or get your money back.
• 37:22
  Yeah, yeah. Fair enough.
• 37:25
  All right, we're going to move into Saturday.
• 37:27
  That was that was just day one. All right, Littering.
• 37:30
  Only they weren't allowed to litter on your property, Jr.
• 37:34
  But they are about its syndicate.
• 37:37
  They have to yeah, they, yeah, they they have to litter.
• 37:41
  Yeah, they have to a good mile run that's a a straight mile run
• 37:46
  and then some strict handstand push ups, litter carry and a
• 37:50
  litter lunge. This is a.
• 37:54
  Big fan of this workout. How many over under 150?
• 37:58
  Strict handstand push ups from Chico.
• 38:04
  Well, he's not going to do all fifty for his pair every round.
• 38:10
  Oh, you have to be in pairs. I was thinking.
• 38:12
  I was thinking your whole team could split it.
• 38:14
  Yeah. So this is the way it works.
• 38:15
  So they're going to, they're going to run and they're going
• 38:18
  to go ahead and be set in those pairs.
• 38:19
  So they're going to hold a rope. So the pairs are going to both
• 38:22
  run a mile and when they all get back, they're going to go to one
• 38:25
  of two plexi setups and they're going to start working.
• 38:28
  So they'll each have a judge and they're going to start working
• 38:30
  towards 50, the male female pairs splitting, splitting it
• 38:33
  however they want. In testing, those teams were
• 38:36
  done in under 2 minutes for all three rounds and that was very
• 38:39
  impressive. You get this first round as a
• 38:43
  Gimme and then after that doing the carry and doing the lunge,
• 38:46
  holding that litter, the straight handstand push ups are
• 38:48
  just going to get much, much more difficult.
• 38:50
  So there's a lot of area to separate in this workout.
• 38:54
  What was really interesting to me though, was all the all the
• 38:58
  questions about the clean loading, but no one seemed to
• 39:02
  care about the fact that there's 300 gymnastics strength limiting
• 39:08
  reps here. So again, that's I think just as
• 39:11
  a community, we just, we see gymnastics and we don't think of
• 39:14
  it as strength. But in this setting, when it's
• 39:18
  strict, right, like legless rogue climbs, you can you can
• 39:21
  put this movement, I think into more of a strength limitation.
• 39:25
  And then obviously anthropometrics do help or hurt.
• 39:28
  But yeah, I think the best teams on this, you know, we'll have
• 39:32
  someone in the pair that's just going to do a little bit more,
• 39:34
  but a little bit more, right? Not a lot more because if they
• 39:37
  get back after the first carry and lunge and they're still
• 39:40
  having to do 30 or 40 of the 50, it's going to start really
• 39:43
  adding up. So yeah, it's it's cool.
• 39:47
  I mean, the litter is something that people have done at the
• 39:50
  games or I don't know, it's been since 2018.
• 39:52
  So maybe no one has done anything with a litter in a
• 39:54
  competition. And I kind of hope that's the
• 39:56
  case because all these teams aren't going to the games, just
• 39:59
  three. So luckily Wilson is is patient
• 40:03
  enough with me and willing to spend money just so that we can
• 40:07
  have a cool show. So hopefully this is like one of
• 40:09
  those memorable movements that. People look back on and say, oh
• 40:13
  man, that was creative and that was cool and if it flops, it
• 40:16
  flops. I'll take it.
• 40:17
  This is where like so with the the heavy laden and the the
• 40:21
  weight that is in that and then like I feel like regionals
• 40:25
  usually started with just a grit kind of workout.
• 40:28
  Am I wrong for teams? It, it depends on the year, but,
• 40:34
  but typically, yeah, you typically you definitely had
• 40:36
  something long and there was more capacity based, yeah.
• 40:39
  This so the the litter or the heavy laden, how heavy those
• 40:43
  those weights were and sort of the style in which it was
• 40:45
  written. And then this with the, with the
• 40:48
  litter and the run like this really started to feel old
• 40:52
  school. Like not old school, but that
• 40:55
  that mid range like 2014 through 2018 style workouts that we
• 40:59
  would see. Like this is where I started to
• 41:01
  get really excited when we were having our call about these
• 41:04
  workouts. I just started smiling ear to
• 41:06
  ear the whole time because of how cool I know that this is
• 41:09
  going to look when when it's when they're actually doing the
• 41:12
  test. Yeah, I mean it, it's a, it's a,
• 41:15
  it's a cool, you know, MWG type mixture.
• 41:19
  It's not really something that you see a lot, but honestly the
• 41:23
  Crucible qualifiers last year 1 was just had heavy dumbbell
• 41:26
  farmer carry with handstand walk and just something about that.
• 41:30
  We see it. We see it this weekend for the
• 41:32
  age group semis, right? They have the dumbbell.
• 41:34
  Is it a farmer lunge with the strictine stand push up?
• 41:37
  So we're just that, that antagonistic movement pattern of
• 41:41
  just like pulling down on the deltoids and then having to get
• 41:44
  inverted. Like doing it with one arm is
• 41:47
  kind of funky too with the litter because you're only going
• 41:50
  to be able to hold the litter with one hand at a time.
• 41:52
  So like, does that one arm get really blown up when you're
• 41:55
  going to kick upside down? It's a it's a unique stimulus,
• 41:58
  but it's still like to me, it, you can still see Diane in it.
• 42:02
  You can still see that like hang position into an inverted
• 42:06
  position. So that's that's kind of kind of
• 42:09
  was the inspiration from it, honestly.
• 42:12
  Do you see the three round or the what's probably more
• 42:15
  important, the mile or the three rounds?
• 42:18
  3 rounds for sure 3. Rounds the mile's almost
• 42:21
  nothing. I think the mile will separate
• 42:24
  the best teams. So like maybe the teams that win
• 42:27
  the workout versus the teams that don't because, hey, they
• 42:29
  had to wait an extra minute to get going on one of their team
• 42:32
  mates or on two of their team mates.
• 42:35
  But ultimately, no, I, I, I wanted everyone to run.
• 42:39
  We, we talked about having him run every round.
• 42:42
  There were different iterations to this workout, but I think it
• 42:46
  it's nice that once they run, now everything they're doing, we
• 42:50
  can really feature the litter, right?
• 42:52
  We can, we can, we can bring the attention to the litter unless
• 42:56
  they're upside down. And for most teams, that's a few
• 42:58
  minutes of work and then they're gone.
• 43:00
  So it's cool that most of the workout is going to be spent in
• 43:04
  that true teamwork environment. Like the last workout.
• 43:08
  There's nothing synchro, right? You, you got to work while your
• 43:11
  partner's working. But ultimately it's just OK when
• 43:13
  we get to these bars, like we're going to do what we can, but
• 43:16
  there's not anything truly teamwork focused within the
• 43:20
  movements in that last workout. Yep.
• 43:24
  Let's see, Saturday afternoon Amanda 3D1311975 is synchro
• 43:31
  muscle ups and synchro squat snatches. 3 working, one
• 43:36
  resting. That's a little bit different.
• 43:38
  It's two in the barbell and one of the rings, correct?
• 43:43
  Two on the pull up bar and one of the rings.
• 43:45
  Yeah, not barbell. Sorry, sorry.
• 43:47
  So yeah, it's going to be, someone will probably tell me
• 43:51
  I'm wrong, but I can't think of a competition where people have
• 43:55
  done trio three-way synchro muscle up last year.
• 43:59
  I know at Wadapalooza was the first time I ever saw the bar
• 44:02
  muscle up, ring muscle up combo. But I think that was 2 working
• 44:05
  at a time, which was really cool.
• 44:06
  And I think it kind of showed that everyone could do that
• 44:08
  movement safely. And locally Rogue was like, Yep,
• 44:12
  you can have two on the bar and one on the rings at the same
• 44:15
  time. So that kind of sealed it for us
• 44:17
  that we were going to do 3 in one out on both the muscle ups
• 44:22
  and the squat snatches. And something good to consider
• 44:25
  on the squat snatches like the sandbag squats for no littering,
• 44:30
  like the front squats for munchies, everything is going to
• 44:34
  be facing the same direction. So those synchro squat snatches
• 44:37
  are going to be all facing the finish line.
• 44:39
  So it will require a lot of communication, a lot of a lot of
• 44:45
  athletes that really know each other right.
• 44:47
  As far as you miss one and everyone's two people have done
• 44:51
  an extra squat snatch. So it's the weight's not heavy
• 44:54
  at all though, right? It's classic Amanda 45 was
• 44:57
  something that, you know, we didn't get to see in 2024, but a
• 44:59
  lot of people kind of wanted it and wanted it to come back.
• 45:03
  So instead of doing it for individuals, I was like, I think
• 45:06
  it'll be really cool for teams to try it so.
• 45:08
  That makes that synchro even harder though, because the
• 45:11
  barbell is light. I mean, we saw people mess up
• 45:13
  the front squats facing in the right direction, same direction.
• 45:17
  It'll be really interesting to see strategically how many reps
• 45:21
  people do before someone Subs out.
• 45:23
  And will the men stay in for bigger chunks on the barbell
• 45:27
  because they're going to be on the rings more than the females?
• 45:30
  Or will the females stay on more for the barbell work because
• 45:35
  they're going to be on the bar muscle UPS more?
• 45:37
  It'll, it'll just be interesting to see strategies and how people
• 45:40
  switch and when they switch. And this time cap is really,
• 45:43
  really a generous. I think it's the most generous
• 45:45
  all weekend. So hopefully everyone can finish
• 45:47
  this. Yeah, I think the the speed,
• 45:51
  because the weight's not heavy. Like they're going to focus on
• 45:55
  the speed of the squat snatches and that could be an issue,
• 46:00
  right? Like trying to go too fast and
• 46:02
  then they get out of sync, they miss one and then you're just
• 46:05
  all out of sorts. Yeah, And like, you know, not to
• 46:08
  talk team strategy too much, but if I'm on a team, I put my pacer
• 46:12
  in the back and I have them watch the two people in front of
• 46:15
  me. And when I yell go, I pull a
• 46:17
  little bit after they pull so that I know when I stand up I
• 46:22
  can yell drop. No matter if we can see the
• 46:24
  judge or not, we know that we're not going to get a no Rep from
• 46:26
  someone dropping the bar early. Like I think things like that
• 46:29
  will really will really matter a lot.
• 46:32
  Yeah, let's see. Next up, crazy eights Coed
• 46:39
  pairs, 4 * 64 synchro pull up, 16 synchro dumbbell shoulder to
• 46:44
  overhead. Rest a minute and then it's
• 46:47
  individual relay of 32 chest of our pull ups and 24 dual
• 46:52
  dumbbell shoulder to overhead. Yep.
• 46:56
  So this one's another 5050. The Co Ed pairs relay portion is
• 47:00
  50 points and then the individual relay is scored out
• 47:04
  of 50 points. So this one facing the same
• 47:08
  direction. So with that heavy single
• 47:09
  dumbbell, everyone's going to be looking toward the finish line
• 47:13
  and not looking at each other to see when they're locked out or
• 47:16
  not. Obviously, this workout for the
• 47:21
  historian. 64 and 8 right? Pull ups and overhead squats at
• 47:24
  regionals. That's kind of where the Rep
• 47:25
  scheme came from, 96 pull ups, a lot of pulling.
• 47:31
  I think a lot of people are just going to see the dumbbells and
• 47:34
  think man, doing 24 at the end is going to be tough.
• 47:37
  Can can people do it unbroken? Yes, they can do it unbroken,
• 47:40
  but not everyone can. So the order that you choose on
• 47:43
  that part is really important. On the first part, it's male
• 47:46
  female pairs. When they get done, they reset
• 47:49
  and at that point they can do what they want.
• 47:51
  So as long as they go male, female, male, female, they can
• 47:54
  go in any order they want. So if the male and female that
• 47:57
  actually finished the Co Ed pairs relay want to start to
• 48:01
  give that first pair even more rest, they can or they can stay
• 48:05
  in that same kind of order and the pair that went first can be
• 48:08
  the first individuals that go. So yeah, I think it'll be fun.
• 48:12
  I think it's again, it's just who cannot blow up.
• 48:16
  I mean, that's really kind of where we're at on this workout.
• 48:19
  I think we're going to get. A lot of no reps on the 16
• 48:22
  dumbbell shoulder to overhead. I don't think, I don't think so
• 48:25
  with three weeks of practice. I think that's another reason
• 48:27
  why we put these out a week early than we thought we were
• 48:30
  going to is not just for the nuance movements like the litter
• 48:35
  and the obstacle, but also for stuff like this.
• 48:37
  Like that's probably a new standard for a lot of people to
• 48:39
  practice. And I I think that movement has
• 48:43
  been around since what the triple G chipper like people can
• 48:45
  handle that dumbbell can both pairs handle it equally?
• 48:49
  That's a that's why we're doing it to make sure that both pairs
• 48:52
  are good at it. So yeah, it's I think this is as
• 48:56
  upper body push pull centric as the clean ladder is just who can
• 49:01
  stand up those squats and who can't.
• 49:03
  So. Yeah, I just see it as like it's
• 49:05
  a movement where like the faster you go, the the more in rhythm
• 49:09
  you can be. And it's tough to synchro that.
• 49:15
  Like I feel like people want to go, they'll want to go faster,
• 49:18
  and they can't in order to synchro it.
• 49:21
  Yeah, and again, I mean it, it, it they're fast, right?
• 49:24
  They're they're quick. Like the testing athletes did
• 49:27
  the first part in like two 2 1/2 minutes.
• 49:30
  So like they're they're maybe doing one hand change.
• 49:34
  I think some teams will just leave it in the dominant hand
• 49:36
  for all 16. That's fine too.
• 49:38
  We're not going to mandate anything like that.
• 49:40
  So, you know, does the first pair just try to give the second
• 49:45
  pair as much of that seven minute cap as possible?
• 49:47
  Maybe. But I think the best teams are
• 49:50
  like the testing pairs, which were really impressive on this.
• 49:54
  All my members were like with the same loading.
• 49:58
  They were like 2 1/2 and they were both sub 3.
• 50:01
  So I think the seven minutes appropriate to push the pace but
• 50:04
  also put people out of their misery if they're if they're
• 50:07
  failing. I mean, the thing I like about
• 50:10
  this is that generally most team workouts are long to give
• 50:15
  enough, give all the athletes enough like work this one,
• 50:20
  they're doing all of it and it's fast like.
• 50:23
  A 7 minute. Cap, you're gonna like if they
• 50:25
  both do it in 2 1/2 minutes, we're done super fast.
• 50:28
  Yeah. And then on the second part, I
• 50:30
  mean, they got 2 minutes each. That's all they get.
• 50:33
  So you better hope that somebody can bank you a little bit of
• 50:36
  time if you're going last and you're thinking that the double
• 50:38
  dumbbell is, is going to be like, man, I got to do three
• 50:42
  sets of eight, you know. So do you do the chest of bars
• 50:45
  unbroken? Maybe you don't have a choice.
• 50:46
  So that's to your point. I think normally team workouts
• 50:51
  have to be a little bit longer just because of the having four
• 50:54
  people out there. But I'm, I'm pretty confident
• 50:57
  that with that first workout being like a mid teens type
• 51:00
  workout. And then obviously the litter
• 51:01
  workout kind of having everybody working for 24 minutes, that
• 51:07
  this one in the in the finale can be fast and can be exciting
• 51:10
  for people to watch. Yeah.
• 51:12
  There'll be nothing worse though to see like the rely on one
• 51:15
  person with those final shoulder to overhead and they have to
• 51:18
  gain breaks and they're watching other teams pass them and be
• 51:22
  helpless. Yeah, like I said, there's a
• 51:24
  lot, there's a lot more loaded overhead than I typically
• 51:27
  program in competitions, like kind of on purpose because I
• 51:30
  think that's I've, you know, kind of showed my hand as being
• 51:33
  someone that really likes upper body pulling and maybe not so
• 51:36
  much pressing, but squat snatches, dumbbell shoulder
• 51:40
  overhead and then ending with the handstand walk, which is
• 51:42
  more of a skill. But if you don't think the hand,
• 51:45
  if you don't think the handstand walk is going to be harder after
• 51:48
  this work out, you're crazy. So it's going to make, it's
• 51:50
  going to make it a lot harder. Yeah, that's a lot of a lot of
• 51:55
  pressing overhead on on Saturday and then going into the Sunday
• 51:59
  morning and then the final workout to send three teams to
• 52:03
  San Jose for the 2026 CrossFit Games.
• 52:06
  The obstacle is the way worm thrusters and some handstand
• 52:10
  walk obstacles rampant stairs. Yeah.
• 52:16
  So this is one of those things that, you know, most teams are
• 52:20
  probably looking forward to or not looking forward to for
• 52:23
  crescendo. And when it wasn't there, it was
• 52:26
  just like, why is it not here? But it was because I didn't want
• 52:28
  to be super redundant, you know, and do that in back-to-back
• 52:31
  competitions. So very, very low volume of
• 52:34
  handstand walking, extremely low.
• 52:36
  This is all execution. And yeah, the thruster Rep
• 52:40
  scheme will be sneaky. And honestly, it just helps out
• 52:44
  the people that are not that, that are not good at the, the
• 52:47
  ramp and the stairs, because you do the least amount of
• 52:50
  interference first with 9. And so, OK, here's your chance,
• 52:55
  right? Take a big rest.
• 52:56
  If you think you can only do it once.
• 52:59
  You don't have to do a set of 21 to start.
• 53:01
  So as you go, the better and better teams are going to have
• 53:05
  to deal with more and more, you know, global aerobic.
• 53:11
  I'm just like blown up. I mean, this workout is an 8
• 53:13
  minute cap. Yeah, they're going to be teams
• 53:15
  that get cap for sure. But the teams that are going to
• 53:17
  have to race this to go to the games, it's going to be really,
• 53:20
  really fast. So this is Congo, Congo style.
• 53:24
  Also, people have been asking. So as soon as you think there's
• 53:27
  enough space between you and your partner to kick up, you can
• 53:29
  kick up. So you may see all four
• 53:32
  individuals working in that 30 foot section at the same time.
• 53:36
  So you're depending, depending on how confident you are.
• 53:38
  And then there's going to be teams that just say, hey, don't
• 53:41
  go until I finish my 30 feet. OK, cool.
• 53:44
  And then they're just going to go one at a time.
• 53:46
  And that's that just shows you in a short workout how much
• 53:49
  separation there could be. So.
• 53:51
  Dude, I, I, this is my favorite one because I just, I feel like
• 53:55
  the teams that are going to be good at the ramp, it's so like
• 54:01
  this is a workout you can just really, really push the
• 54:04
  threshold on. And I mean, I just think we're
• 54:08
  going to see somebody who's going down on the stairs while
• 54:11
  somebody is starting the ramp, potentially 2 people on the ramp
• 54:14
  at the same time. And that would be amazing.
• 54:18
  Regardless if it works out or not.
• 54:19
  I just think it would be an amazing thing to see and I just
• 54:23
  think it'll be a really, really good race at the end.
• 54:25
  Yeah. And there's no set order front
• 54:27
  on this either. So like what what you could do
• 54:29
  is, you know, after the thruster, you could have your
• 54:34
  person that's really scared that they can't do this three times.
• 54:38
  They kick up right away and they get over there, they take a big
• 54:40
  rest, all their team mates get over there and they say, OK, you
• 54:43
  guys all go and I'm going to wait and go last and then do the
• 54:47
  stairs. So I mean, the, the strategy
• 54:49
  that can be implored is is really good.
• 54:51
  We really didn't want to mandate an order.
• 54:53
  And if you see, like with all the gymnastics, especially the
• 54:56
  synchro stuff, there's no minimum work requirement.
• 54:59
  So we didn't say, hey, every single person has to be on the
• 55:02
  rings for five of the 45 or every single person has to do 10
• 55:05
  strict handstand push ups or your DQ.
• 55:07
  Like the workouts are hard enough for us not to mandate
• 55:10
  things like that. So this is another situation
• 55:12
  where we just kind of, hey, you all got to do it, but the way
• 55:15
  you get there is kind of up to you.
• 55:19
  Go ahead. Go ahead.
• 55:19
  No, you go ahead. Well, I was going to say the the
• 55:22
  moment I I don't want someone to lose their chance to the games
• 55:27
  because of this, but it's just it's made to do that.
• 55:30
  Like you're going to get in the last event and somebody's going
• 55:33
  to be tied or, or close going into the last event and then
• 55:36
  they're going to go into the handstand walk and it's they're
• 55:38
  going to watch it go away. They'll probably know yeah, or
• 55:42
  they'll know going in like it's over.
• 55:45
  Like we don't, we don't get to go.
• 55:48
  Yeah, and if. You knew that.
• 55:49
  You would know that right now. Right.
• 55:52
  I don't know, Like I, I, I push back on people a lot.
• 55:55
  And it's not because, you know, I've been lucky enough to just
• 55:58
  own obstacles for, I don't know, since 2021.
• 56:03
  But like, this thing's been out for eight years and it's not
• 56:06
  really something that is very hard to learn if you just say,
• 56:11
  hey, 30 minutes a week, 15 minutes two days a week.
• 56:15
  I'm just gonna practice it and see if I can do it.
• 56:17
  It's, it's not, it's not a crazy thing.
• 56:20
  But you got to get it out and then you got to put, you know,
• 56:23
  you got to get it all situated and then you got to put it back
• 56:26
  up. It's a lot of work.
• 56:29
  As, but if you're a games, if you're a games contender, you
• 56:33
  think you are. It's something that ever since
• 56:37
  it came out at regionals and then at the games and then every
• 56:39
  year for like 4 or five years, there was some kind of obstacle
• 56:43
  course. Like it's just something that
• 56:44
  you you thought was probably important to put into your
• 56:47
  program. I don't know.
• 56:49
  Yeah, I think, I think the final heat will be fine.
• 56:52
  I think they're that the race could make them go faster than
• 56:56
  they want to. But I think as you as you work
• 56:59
  early and earlier to the third, second first heats, like I think
• 57:04
  when you get to those, I don't think they have those ramps
• 57:08
  generally speaking or have may have ever touched it.
• 57:10
  So I feel like there's probably some teams out there that are a
• 57:14
  bit nervous, dude. Final.
• 57:16
  Yeah. But then that's why there's only
• 57:17
  9 worm thrusters in the beginning because those teams
• 57:20
  you're like, you're going to get your first ramp today.
• 57:23
  Yeah. And also also too, like, sorry
• 57:25
  for interrupting you, John. It's giving them three weeks.
• 57:29
  Like you're probably going to be able to find someone within an
• 57:31
  hour that has one and hopefully you're on it two or three times
• 57:35
  a week to at least practice it if you've never even tried it.
• 57:38
  But also there was no quarterfinals.
• 57:42
  There was no handstand walking for teams.
• 57:44
  So it's like, yeah, in a perfect world, we would have vetted
• 57:47
  these teams with just some handstand walking in general and
• 57:50
  then been like, OK, they can handle this.
• 57:52
  But that's not the way it went. I still think and admittedly,
• 57:56
  I'm I programmed these workouts thinking about the best teams in
• 58:01
  the world doing them. Obviously it's the best teams in
• 58:04
  North America, but it's the only in person team competition in
• 58:08
  North America this year. Like it needs to be robust and
• 58:12
  like, I mean, online is the weekend after and a lot of those
• 58:17
  teams will probably take those spots.
• 58:18
  Some of them which that come to syndicate, they'll take those
• 58:21
  spots. So it needed to be tough.
• 58:23
  And I think it's, I definitely think it's hard.
• 58:28
  As it should be. You don't want to send three
• 58:31
  teams without making it a a good test for sure.
• 58:34
  You would think. Most of the time, yeah, those
• 58:39
  are the six workouts. Jr. question for you, Are the
• 58:45
  team workouts in any way closely related to the individual
• 58:52
  workouts or are they completely different?
• 58:56
  Yes. Well, they're, they're
• 58:59
  completely different because they're individuals.
• 59:04
  No, I think another another reason why we put the team
• 59:10
  events out a week early was not just to try to get people
• 59:13
  excited about team programming, which is very hard to do, but
• 59:17
  because good coaches especially and smart athletes.
• 59:21
  We'll see what the teams are doing and they'll think, OK, if
• 59:26
  they're going to have it there for teams, surely we're going to
• 59:30
  use it. I know that.
• 59:33
  So some of that will be true and some of it will be absolutely
• 59:36
  false. So if you guys have, if you guys
• 59:39
  have seen The Princess Bride, it's one of my funny, it's one
• 59:41
  of my favorite movies. But the scene, you know, the
• 59:43
  poison scene is that's kind of like the game that I play.
• 59:47
  It's like, but you would have known that.
• 59:49
  I would have known that. So you would have never put the
• 59:51
  poison closer to you. So it's kind of that.
• 59:53
  So there, there's definitely going to be some overlap, but
• 59:56
  there's definitely going to be some things that when they don't
• 59:59
  come out, people are going to be shocked that the teams did it
• 1:00:02
  and the individuals did not. But see, I know that.
• 1:00:05
  You know that. I know that.
• 1:00:06
  And. Then so they are they are
• 1:00:10
  related. But what is the answer, John?
• 1:00:13
  The answer is just to inoculate yourself.
• 1:00:15
  You said you said 5050. Inoculate yourself regardless,
• 1:00:19
  or. 100% or it all, it's all the same movements and I just made
• 1:00:23
  them individual workouts or I just made them team workouts.
• 1:00:26
  I. Got that?
• 1:00:27
  More usually. It'd be easier for Wilson to
• 1:00:30
  manage all the equipment, though.
• 1:00:33
  I tell you what, if you did do that, I would say I would say
• 1:00:35
  that you were a little lazy. I've been I've been called
• 1:00:40
  worse. Awesome, hopefully people wanted
• 1:00:45
  to hear from Jr. Yeah, sorry, sorry for
• 1:00:48
  everyone's asleep. Now it's time for some time for
• 1:00:51
  some humor and stuff. But no, honestly, guys, I'm,
• 1:00:53
  I'm, I'm super grateful obviously for Wilson and the
• 1:01:01
  syndicate team for kind of just bringing me in last year,
• 1:01:04
  trusting that I could do a good job and then asking me to do it
• 1:01:07
  again. Like just being able to program
• 1:01:10
  a competition that goes to the games is like is a dream come
• 1:01:13
  true. So that's it.
• 1:01:15
  Yeah, it's dude. Go ahead, Go ahead.
• 1:01:17
  Spit Why is everybody asking about a trail?
• 1:01:19
  Or why is Kiefer asking about a trail?
• 1:01:24
  Kiefer Kiefer is a prisoner of his own thoughts, much like much
• 1:01:32
  like I am and other people that spend way too much time trying
• 1:01:35
  to trying to figure figure other people out right.
• 1:01:39
  Do you, do you think, I mean, last year the leaderboard was
• 1:01:42
  bouncing up and down just because like the workouts
• 1:01:45
  weren't always like, you know, they had different, you know,
• 1:01:50
  strengths and weaknesses. Do you think you'll see the same
• 1:01:53
  in teams this year? Where?
• 1:01:55
  People do well and 1:00 and then they'll struggle maybe on 2 and
• 1:01:58
  then bounce back in three. Yeah, I think that was a really
• 1:02:01
  nice way of you saying that. It tends to be clear what I'm
• 1:02:04
  trying to test when I where I had to work out, which I think
• 1:02:08
  at this level especially, that's what it needs to be.
• 1:02:14
  I think like Crucible or maybe some other things I can kind of
• 1:02:17
  play a little bit more, but this is really serious to me.
• 1:02:20
  And I think that when you look at the workout, you need to be
• 1:02:23
  able to say, OK, this is the straight pulling test, OK, this
• 1:02:27
  is the squat stamp of the test, OK, This is the long aerobic
• 1:02:30
  test, OK, This is the high skill inversion test.
• 1:02:33
  OK, this is the hinginging test. Like that's important because
• 1:02:38
  when you have 6 especially, it's more difficult to make sure that
• 1:02:43
  everything's there than when you have 10 or 12.
• 1:02:45
  And I think it's really important.
• 1:02:49
  I think certain things are really important in programming
• 1:02:51
  that other people might not agree with.
• 1:02:53
  But there's kind of just this, this, this check box.
• 1:02:56
  And I need to make sure that certain things are, are tested
• 1:03:00
  or else I walk away from it saying, you know, maybe that
• 1:03:03
  team made it because I didn't make them do whatever.
• 1:03:06
  And hopefully with this, there's something wrong.
• 1:03:10
  There's something heavy, there's some teamwork, there's some
• 1:03:13
  individual who has a weakness, There's some, there's some high
• 1:03:17
  execution, there's some really no execution.
• 1:03:20
  So hopefully everything's there. I mean, as long as the three
• 1:03:22
  teams you think should should make it their do, it'll be fine.
• 1:03:25
  Yeah, I mean, who cares, right, Jay?
• 1:03:29
  I will say, I think you and Wilson, you and Wilson are like
• 1:03:34
  a dream team because as much as much detail as Wilson gives to
• 1:03:38
  like how a competition is ran and put together, I feel like
• 1:03:42
  you give that same amount of detail to the programming of a
• 1:03:46
  competition. Just just trying to see no stone
• 1:03:50
  unturned and I am super, super excited to be a part of it.
• 1:03:55
  John, you just really amplified my stress for the broadcast.
• 1:03:59
  Yeah, I can't. I can't.
• 1:04:00
  I can't say enough. You're not even on the
• 1:04:02
  broadcast, are you? Me.
• 1:04:05
  Yeah. Yes.
• 1:04:07
  Oh Dang, never I OK, go ahead Jr.
• 1:04:11
  What you're. Saying no, I, I think Wilson's
• 1:04:17
  neurosis can, can only be matched by mine.
• 1:04:19
  So I'm, I'm really, I'm really grateful that that God put
• 1:04:23
  someone in my life that's that patient, because if it was
• 1:04:26
  anyone with that didn't have those same like quirks, it would
• 1:04:30
  not work out for sure. So it's good.
• 1:04:33
  Awesome. And I guess the the individuals,
• 1:04:36
  they'll get their workouts on Thursday night of right before
• 1:04:40
  the syndicate starts. Oh yeah, the briefing for
• 1:04:44
  individuals now the team names come out this Friday.
• 1:04:48
  So in two days we're going to release team names and then next
• 1:04:53
  Wednesday, individual workouts will drop.
• 1:04:56
  So two weeks out, kind of consistent with last year.
• 1:05:00
  That's the plan there. You go, so we'll see you in two
• 1:05:03
  weeks. Next week.
• 1:05:07
  Or next week. Maybe next week if if you guys
• 1:05:09
  want to sit through another one of these snooze fests.
• 1:05:11
  You're going to announce ND ND next week on the show.
• 1:05:15
  No, I, I it's not about me. I think we'll, I think doing it
• 1:05:19
  like it around noon with just one nice post for everyone to
• 1:05:23
  have instead of trickling it out.
• 1:05:24
  It seems like people dig that. So we'll, we'll, we'll keep
• 1:05:27
  doing that all. Right.
• 1:05:28
  Yeah, we'll do that. All right, Jr.
• 1:05:30
  Thank you. I'm excited to see the teams.
• 1:05:33
  Appreciate you Jr. Do that.
• 1:05:34
  Thanks, guys. Yeah, athletes that have
• 1:05:36
  questions, obviously you can hit me up or you can wait on the
• 1:05:40
  athlete packet, but it'll all the information will be given to
• 1:05:42
  you soon. Awesome.
• 1:05:44
  Thank you, Jr. Yeah, the trail.
• 1:05:47
  I don't, I don't don't know. Thanks, Steve.
• 1:05:51
  Yep. Thanks Jr.
• 1:05:52
  Steve. Oh God, oh oh, Dang it.
• 1:05:56
  Sorry, sorry Kiefer, I didn't just saw that.
• 1:05:59
  It's weird we didn't see your money in there.
• 1:06:01
  What was your question, Kiefer? We'll answer it to the best of
• 1:06:04
  our knowledge. What is he talking about?
• 1:06:08
  Was there a trail post? It's.
• 1:06:10
  A trail, Tyler. Got you if you don't understand
• 1:06:13
  it. It's like it's not paying.
• 1:06:14
  Attention. That's hey, keeper, just be
• 1:06:17
  where I am. Just let loose, yeah.
• 1:06:20
  That's it all right. There you go the the team
• 1:06:23
  workouts. Find out the individuals here
• 1:06:26
  soon enough there you. Go Tyler, the people are
• 1:06:31
  concerned about your microphone. I got 5 text messages.
• 1:06:35
  Saying. To tell Tyler to turn I, I don't
• 1:06:39
  think people didn't care. And I, I, I am all the way
• 1:06:44
  jacked up there's. No more is your.
• 1:06:47
  Is your actual mic on? Or is your computer?
• 1:06:49
  No, I'm on Check the settings. Check the settings.
• 1:06:54
  Yeah, there it is. There it is.
• 1:06:56
  There it is. Yeah, there it is.
• 1:07:00
  There it is. Yeah.
• 1:07:05
  This is sound great. I I stop yelling.
• 1:07:11
  You're hurting my ears, Tyler. I tell you guys every show,
• 1:07:14
  John, you're on your room, Mike. I sit here like an asshole for
• 1:07:18
  an hour and no word. Not a word.
• 1:07:21
  You. God spin, I talked to you for
• 1:07:25
  like 10 minutes for the show. No, you sounded fine.
• 1:07:27
  You sounded. Fun.
• 1:07:29
  To be fair, Tyler, I don't. I don't know.
• 1:07:32
  I just say oh, oh, his mic is low.
• 1:07:34
  Like I don't, I don't, I plead the 5th with that.
• 1:07:39
  They're not. That's the wrong thing.
• 1:07:40
  I don't know. I was reading all the comments
• 1:07:42
  and I was like I've done every. Now I am.
• 1:07:44
  Thanks for telling me, Tyler. Yeah.
• 1:07:46
  You don't need to know. Everything you just said was a
• 1:07:48
  lie. Yours you got some noise
• 1:07:50
  cancellation or something on yours?
• 1:07:51
  It makes it worse somehow. Yeah.
• 1:07:55
  How about that? Mute it completely.
• 1:08:00
  OK. All right.
• 1:08:03
  All right, Syndicate Crown workouts, stolen tickets, all
• 1:08:11
  those bad Mayhem athletes and Annika and Henrik and Syria
• 1:08:18
  going to their semifinals, not in their continent, taking away
• 1:08:23
  spots from South Americans and Asians.
• 1:08:26
  How dare they. How dare they?
• 1:08:30
  You can have it your way if you really want.
• 1:08:33
  If you want so those who. I think the Brazilians are
• 1:08:37
  ridiculous, dude. I think they are.
• 1:08:39
  So they live in a world of their own and it is it is amazing how
• 1:08:46
  unaware. Here we go, John's Brazilian
• 1:08:50
  hate segments. Well, I started cluing in on it.
• 1:08:54
  You're the. Worst on Saturday, so on
• 1:08:58
  Saturday the the the mayhem or the Henderson mayhem,
• 1:09:02
  Hendersonville mayhem team when they won and I don't know what
• 1:09:05
  happened, but I think there was maybe have been a little bit of
• 1:09:09
  altercation or I I don't know between teams or teams like them
• 1:09:14
  and the fans. I don't know.
• 1:09:16
  But Wes Peters was being interviewed and if you go watch
• 1:09:20
  after event, the final event for the teams, they're they're
• 1:09:23
  saying they're interviewing and I swear it, it sounded like they
• 1:09:27
  were booing them. Wes, can you confirm you usually
• 1:09:31
  TuneIn? He did he confirmed with me.
• 1:09:33
  I messaged him. I was like, did they really Boo
• 1:09:34
  you? Like I I could it could it
• 1:09:36
  wasn't like clear because you heard some cheering, but you
• 1:09:39
  also heard something that sounded like a Boo and I was
• 1:09:41
  like, no, apparently from what I understand is that some of the
• 1:09:47
  Argentinian. Argentine.
• 1:09:50
  Argentine fans, is that how you say it?
• 1:09:52
  Yeah, sure. Argentine, Argentine fans were
• 1:09:57
  unhappy with Hendersonville mayhem.
• 1:10:00
  And he said the Brazilians were happy.
• 1:10:03
  Now you, you, or at least were cheering them.
• 1:10:08
  Now when you look at what happened with Annika's post and
• 1:10:12
  Miley's post saying that they had qualified, I'm not sure that
• 1:10:15
  the Brazilians were thrilled either.
• 1:10:19
  But. God, they it wasn't.
• 1:10:21
  How about? How about get freaking fitter?
• 1:10:26
  OK, so we don't have to come down to South America and take
• 1:10:29
  your freaking spots. You think we want to give DEI
• 1:10:32
  invites out? No, get fitter.
• 1:10:35
  Come over here and take our spots.
• 1:10:37
  I would love for y'all's roided up selves to come over to
• 1:10:41
  America and try to take our freaking spots, but you can't
• 1:10:45
  because you're not freaking fit enough.
• 1:10:48
  You glorify some influencer who can't bite 50 cows without
• 1:10:51
  quitting. That's.
• 1:10:54
  These are John Young's opinions and not the official stance of
• 1:10:56
  the Barbell Spin podcast. Thank you very much.
• 1:10:59
  Gosh, I freaking hate Brazilians, man.
• 1:11:01
  They're just they just they all they do is exist in their own
• 1:11:04
  freaking think bubble. You know what they're, they're,
• 1:11:07
  they're, you know, hey, like, you know, if you want to think
• 1:11:12
  about the, the, the split, and I'm not going to get into it,
• 1:11:18
  just look at Brazil because that's why the split happened.
• 1:11:24
  Is that wrong, Tyler? North from the South.
• 1:11:26
  It's that wrong? Yeah.
• 1:11:28
  That's. Dude, dude, all right.
• 1:11:30
  They're, they're, they're just so stuck in the what good has
• 1:11:34
  Brazil ever brought the world other than freaking soccer
• 1:11:39
  players, right? What?
• 1:11:40
  What have they brought? Tell me.
• 1:11:42
  Big rainforest. Yeah, they do.
• 1:11:46
  Got that? They they.
• 1:11:49
  Do got that? No, their rainforest is pretty
• 1:11:51
  cool. They're getting rid of it
• 1:11:53
  though. Yeah, the people didn't even do
• 1:11:54
  that, though. God did that.
• 1:11:58
  But they, they embrace it. Acai bowls, they're nice, Jar
• 1:12:03
  Jar told us. Yeah.
• 1:12:04
  Cocaine. Also great.
• 1:12:06
  Carnivals. Women.
• 1:12:09
  The big Jesus coffee, the big juice.
• 1:12:13
  Hot girls. The big Jesus is great.
• 1:12:16
  That's that's amazing. Butt lifts Victoria's Secret
• 1:12:20
  models. Chocolate.
• 1:12:22
  You. Guys are rooted in sin, that's
• 1:12:25
  what y'all. Are Mr. Young the thong bikini?
• 1:12:28
  Yeah. I'd refrain from commenting.
• 1:12:30
  You're dad's iconic. Smell.
• 1:12:35
  So yeah, Brazil brings us a lot, but they can't, they can't
• 1:12:39
  qualify. The men can qualify.
• 1:12:41
  What? What?
• 1:12:42
  Was it the same in Asia? I don't, I didn't see any.
• 1:12:49
  Anybody comment on YEAH? It's a Kappa Lion and winning
• 1:12:54
  the one young was second and. So is it is it other regions or
• 1:12:58
  is it Americans? I really would like to know.
• 1:13:02
  No, they're just stuck in their own bubble.
• 1:13:04
  There was no hate from Asia. You know why 'cause the fittest
• 1:13:06
  freaking person. Well, no, I think what Tyler's
• 1:13:08
  saying is if somebody like, let's say Hendrick had gone to
• 1:13:12
  Brazil and qualified, would there have been the same hate
• 1:13:14
  as? I see.
• 1:13:16
  As what Annika and Miley received.
• 1:13:18
  I think so. I think there would have been
• 1:13:20
  OK. I'd like to think that there
• 1:13:21
  would. Be I would like to know.
• 1:13:22
  I would just like I, I'd really like to see that.
• 1:13:26
  So I would love for Kali and Sousa and Kaiike and Guy, if
• 1:13:32
  they came, if they came over here and did any competition and
• 1:13:37
  straight up, you know, got third place or second place or even
• 1:13:41
  whatever. And you know what, I would not
• 1:13:43
  badmouth them at all. I'd be like, wow, they have
• 1:13:46
  improved a lot. Like they might be somebody to
• 1:13:49
  watch for. That would be my reaction.
• 1:13:52
  I wonder if all the French, if all the French people will get
• 1:13:55
  pissed at Jason. If he goes.
• 1:14:00
  When we think of light, light minute, last minute withdrawal,
• 1:14:03
  that'd be rough. Well, look, Richard Hoffman.
• 1:14:05
  Rich's post was awesome. One mayhem, you know what I
• 1:14:08
  mean? Come out of nowhere and one
• 1:14:12
  mayhem, Is anybody mad? No, we're all like.
• 1:14:15
  But Mayhem invited him. Stole our spot.
• 1:14:18
  That's. Richard.
• 1:14:19
  At the games, he might be somebody to look out for it like
• 1:14:22
  like it's just the the reaction to it is is just insane.
• 1:14:27
  John, you're, you're think you're, you're doing this all
• 1:14:29
  wrong, dude. They're going to give you what
• 1:14:31
  you want. Crossfit's going to look at all
• 1:14:34
  the hate that they got and they're going to backpedal
• 1:14:37
  because that's what they do. That's not what I want.
• 1:14:40
  Then we're going to have locked regions and then we'll have 3
• 1:14:45
  DEI spots. That's why would I I OK?
• 1:14:49
  How would I want that? Because you, you didn't you say
• 1:14:52
  it was better than this current situation that we're in.
• 1:14:57
  No, I said we don't want to give DEI spots out.
• 1:15:01
  You should earn your way to the games.
• 1:15:02
  John just wants the draft. Keep it the way it is, but.
• 1:15:05
  I just want to draft. I don't ever want to hear about
• 1:15:06
  the draft ever again. I like I like go off, go off
• 1:15:14
  Brazil, get exactly what you want.
• 1:15:16
  Because you guess what? You're going to get one spot and
• 1:15:18
  that person's going to terrible at the games and you, but you
• 1:15:20
  got your spot. Also, maybe don't make the
• 1:15:26
  programming like a front squat in every single event, Annika.
• 1:15:32
  Annika disagrees with that. Look at that programming, look
• 1:15:35
  at that programming and a well known coach.
• 1:15:39
  I won't say his name unless he wants to be said like me and him
• 1:15:41
  were talking about this. I don't think there is a woman
• 1:15:44
  on the planet who could beat Annika Greer at that semi final.
• 1:15:50
  Go look at the programming and then tell me, tell me anybody,
• 1:15:54
  anybody that is doing CrossFit right now that could beat her.
• 1:15:57
  I don't think there is anybody like like truly no, no shot.
• 1:16:05
  Go look at the programming dude. Like it's I don't know like if
• 1:16:12
  you want to talk about a dominant victory, I know like
• 1:16:14
  down was pretty dominant legends right?
• 1:16:20
  Just go look at the programming and what Annika Grier did.
• 1:16:24
  There has not been a more dominating semi final than Tia
• 1:16:27
  Atorian when she had 6 firsts and lost once to Gracie right?
• 1:16:33
  There has not been a like that's the last time there was
• 1:16:36
  something more dominant than what Annika Grier did.
• 1:16:38
  Maybe make your programming more well-rounded and then that
• 1:16:41
  wouldn't happen and y'all would have a better shot you.
• 1:16:45
  Had a better shot, it probably would.
• 1:16:47
  Happen you know what Brazil, I would rather it is goes just
• 1:16:51
  South America. I'm just sick of y'all like like
• 1:16:53
  just get fitter, flip it. Maybe, maybe I would love for
• 1:16:58
  you to skew your competition just so your best athletes could
• 1:17:03
  go. Just put what they're the best
• 1:17:05
  at and skew it. And we're going to send freaking
• 1:17:08
  Jason Hopper down there because he can't figure out where he
• 1:17:11
  wants to go. So we're just going to tell him
• 1:17:12
  you have to go there. And then we'll see if you can
• 1:17:15
  beat him. Because you can't because you're
• 1:17:17
  not fit enough. And you shouldn't complain until
• 1:17:21
  you are fit enough. I like this idea honestly.
• 1:17:27
  You want to skew it, and we're going to send the people we want
• 1:17:29
  to send, and we'll see who wins. They tried that a couple years
• 1:17:33
  ago and then Gee didn't qualify. They.
• 1:17:36
  Screwed themselves. That's when Kaiki got to go.
• 1:17:40
  Dude, dude, it's just unbelievable the reaction to we
• 1:17:44
  hate white people. I can't believe this little.
• 1:17:47
  Freaking that's a race. Thing beat beat everybody.
• 1:17:50
  I can't. I can't.
• 1:17:51
  I can't believe that, right? By the way, Miley Wade is a
• 1:17:54
  little bitty thing. I don't know what she weighs or
• 1:17:57
  how tall she is, but she looks very small and she snatched 195.
• 1:18:02
  That's one of the most impressive things I've seen out
• 1:18:05
  of all of the semi finals. Miley would have qualified if
• 1:18:08
  they would have adjusted the programming because she would
• 1:18:10
  have run past her then probably. Absolutely, but but I just we
• 1:18:18
  should be talking about Miley Waite and what she did at that
• 1:18:22
  semi final. Instead, we're talking about
• 1:18:24
  how. Her.
• 1:18:25
  How her? How her?
• 1:18:26
  Argentina and Brazil are that their people don't go because
• 1:18:29
  we're not fit enough. I don't like, it's just sad.
• 1:18:33
  It's sad, it's sad when I go to a competition, I don't think,
• 1:18:38
  oh, why? I don't know any of the strong
• 1:18:39
  guys get to go to the games. It's 'cause we're not fit
• 1:18:43
  enough. Like it's not.
• 1:18:44
  It's really simple. Speaking of Miley, do you think
• 1:18:50
  Miley could beat Onica at the Games?
• 1:18:54
  No, I'm going to say no, I don't think.
• 1:18:58
  So even after what she did in that style of programming where
• 1:19:02
  Onica was had everything lined up for her, she still did still
• 1:19:07
  be very, very well. Yeah, it got second place in a
• 1:19:10
  lot of workouts like that. Second place would be 21st.
• 1:19:13
  Anonica would still be third or fifth and the and the workouts.
• 1:19:17
  Anonica but I'm saying like, but I'm saying the oh, the games are
• 1:19:21
  going to be a different style of test, right.
• 1:19:24
  And so like you're not going to you're going to have some type
• 1:19:28
  of long run. Miley could probably get top
• 1:19:31
  five. Yeah.
• 1:19:33
  Annika gets bottom 5. Yep.
• 1:19:36
  Like they're not gonna be all. Higher in the Games last year.
• 1:19:38
  Annika Greer, Haley Adams. That's a different Haley.
• 1:19:43
  OK, I I think that version of Haley is current Miley Wade, so.
• 1:19:49
  No. But OK.
• 1:19:53
  Who? Who would you say if if, if you
• 1:19:56
  put Haley down in Brazil last weekend, who qualifies?
• 1:20:01
  It depends if there's any double unders in the workout.
• 1:20:03
  Saying the. Programming Annika Greer still
• 1:20:05
  qualifies out of her. I'm saying I know, but does
• 1:20:08
  Haley or Annika Miley? Haley or Miley goes.
• 1:20:11
  Because of her snatch, because I mean, she had this, this crazy
• 1:20:14
  snatch. I don't know if that translates
• 1:20:15
  over to a freaking front squat or back squat.
• 1:20:18
  I just think Annika Greer. We're not talking about Haley.
• 1:20:20
  Haley versus Miley, Annika Greer has a lot of home runs that she
• 1:20:27
  is the best in the world at any squatting.
• 1:20:31
  She's going to be better than every single person at the
• 1:20:33
  Games. She has a very good CrossFit
• 1:20:36
  engine that does not translate at all to running.
• 1:20:41
  So like, yeah, there's a running workout.
• 1:20:43
  She's going to be, you know, her and Olivia are going to be high
• 1:20:46
  fiving it up next to each other. I, I, I understand that.
• 1:20:49
  But any high volume pressing, pulling, squatting, she's
• 1:20:55
  extremely good at now. I just think there are more
• 1:20:59
  points on the board, Veronica Grier than there are Miley.
• 1:21:02
  Miley Wade. Also, dude, she got ninth in the
• 1:21:05
  Games. And I know the programming that
• 1:21:06
  you can be whatever, but ninth in the Games, you got to respect
• 1:21:10
  it a little bit. It was a full test.
• 1:21:13
  Regardless if it's suede in her favor or not, you do need to
• 1:21:17
  give her respect. So like, absolutely.
• 1:21:19
  I'm I would still say Onika Greer.
• 1:21:21
  There's gonna be stuff that Miley Wade gets like halted in
• 1:21:26
  her tracks. Still.
• 1:21:28
  It's just even though I think Miley Wade is a bright future, I
• 1:21:31
  think in like if you say who is the most potential, who is can
• 1:21:34
  potentially get the highest in the games?
• 1:21:36
  I would say Miley Wade, but I it's she's what, 19?
• 1:21:43
  Something like that, yeah. Like, just not yet.
• 1:21:46
  I don't think there's. I don't think that's a bad thing
• 1:21:47
  to say. OK, that's fair.
• 1:21:55
  Did you watch any of the Far East throw down John?
• 1:22:01
  Yeah, yes, yes, yes. I watched Sven's Miraculous Best
• 1:22:09
  on a career. Now, did you check in on Bryant?
• 1:22:11
  Did you check out on Brian? When Sven Gaines failed his hang
• 1:22:14
  power clean like 3 times I didn't final.
• 1:22:17
  Run. No, I didn't ask him about it,
• 1:22:19
  but I'm sure he was devastated. I'm sure he was ready to text me
• 1:22:22
  about it. Freaking Sven Gaines.
• 1:22:29
  He's going to French throw down too.
• 1:22:33
  He got. Could he beat Jason Hopper?
• 1:22:37
  Dude, have you seen French throwdowns programming?
• 1:22:40
  I have not looked at it in depth.
• 1:22:41
  No. So when you look at it.
• 1:22:44
  Jason, go win. You'll understand why he
• 1:22:47
  switched. Like like I, I, I had the same
• 1:22:50
  reaction. And like when he, he, you know,
• 1:22:53
  he wasn't going to go to syndicate.
• 1:22:55
  I was like, dude, that's such a freaking that sucks.
• 1:22:58
  Like, and I was like, I, I felt like rich Froning.
• 1:23:00
  I was like good Rich. That's a good post, right?
• 1:23:03
  Like I, I, I, I'm with them. And I was like, Jason, after all
• 1:23:06
  we've been through, I slept at your house like I was just.
• 1:23:09
  And you do me like this, Like I. Heard you weren't there.
• 1:23:13
  Right. I wasn't there.
• 1:23:14
  I I mistaken my words. The if you look at the
• 1:23:18
  programming, you'll go. I get it.
• 1:23:22
  Yeah. It's it's just smart.
• 1:23:24
  Like Victor's not there, Roman's not there.
• 1:23:27
  And the programming is literally made for him.
• 1:23:30
  And three people go out of French. 3.
• 1:23:33
  Like like it's just a smart move.
• 1:23:35
  I, I, it sucks, I don't like it. I 100% understand it.
• 1:23:42
  Syndicate is packed and you don't know the programming and
• 1:23:48
  yes, you are the fittest man in the world.
• 1:23:50
  I think he's the biggest name on the list.
• 1:23:52
  He shouldn't be afraid of the other name.
• 1:23:54
  So I'm not saying he is afraid, but it's just being smart.
• 1:23:57
  One wrong move. And I and I understand that from
• 1:24:00
  his part. I understand that completely.
• 1:24:02
  Do you think there's some more pressure though, now that he's
• 1:24:08
  made this last minute move? He has to fly to France.
• 1:24:11
  Everybody expects him to mop up because of the programming.
• 1:24:14
  Sure there is. There is a little bit of
• 1:24:16
  pressure, but is there not pressure?
• 1:24:17
  You're the fittest man in the world to make the games at
• 1:24:21
  Syndicate. And what if you don't make it
• 1:24:24
  now He does French throw down? Like the chances of him making
• 1:24:30
  it, even though they're very high at syndicate, they are.
• 1:24:33
  I don't see how he doesn't make it short of injury.
• 1:24:38
  Just just look, look at the program.
• 1:24:40
  I mean, it's basically a Hanukkah Greer at Copa Sur I.
• 1:24:44
  Don't know if I'd say that. Dude, look, you don't know the
• 1:24:46
  programming. Look at it, dude.
• 1:24:47
  I'm telling you, you're like, OK, OK, OK, Like, like, like he,
• 1:24:51
  he should be amazing, but I think it's less pressure because
• 1:24:55
  you know the programming and you know who you're going against,
• 1:24:59
  Like, yeah, you should mop up. But is if he gets 2nd and still
• 1:25:02
  makes the games, like people will make fun of him, but he's
• 1:25:06
  still going to the games. Like the job got done, like, and
• 1:25:09
  then he could just be like, how am I on game day when it
• 1:25:11
  matters? I don't think anybody can argue
• 1:25:13
  that 'cause he's shown he's pretty great at that, right?
• 1:25:16
  I can't believe they invited him.
• 1:25:19
  Dude French throwdown invited Roman like.
• 1:25:22
  You would think they would have learned their freaking lesson.
• 1:25:25
  They had a cop out and then. They.
• 1:25:28
  Had a double cop out. Didn't they explicitly say we're
• 1:25:31
  not going to invite any more athletes?
• 1:25:32
  Yes, they said that. Well, they said at the very
• 1:25:34
  beginning they weren't going to invite any athletes.
• 1:25:36
  You have to qualify through the online their own online
• 1:25:38
  qualifier or if you were European, on the European
• 1:25:42
  quarterfinals leaderboard. We need that CrossFit
• 1:25:45
  disclaimer. We can.
• 1:25:46
  Do whatever we want. Brazil, France.
• 1:25:52
  What France? That's how the list goes.
• 1:25:55
  France has always been there for us.
• 1:25:56
  Jones it's it's read, it's read up to down France is the third
• 1:26:01
  least, the third least problematic thing they they give
• 1:26:05
  us. You get what I'm saying?
• 1:26:06
  You get what I'm saying? Is that were you answering
• 1:26:10
  Crossfat's question? I don't know.
• 1:26:13
  He didn't pay, so I can't find it, but yeah, I don't.
• 1:26:22
  I was a little surprised that the French Throwdown did offer
• 1:26:26
  that that invite, just given the controversy around when Roman
• 1:26:33
  was invited. You.
• 1:26:34
  I don't think they care at all. Obviously, I, I feel like the
• 1:26:42
  semifinals need to have a structure to it.
• 1:26:45
  Like if we're not going to do region based like there needs I
• 1:26:47
  I feel like there needs to be some type of.
• 1:26:50
  We're so past that. I'm saying next year though,
• 1:26:53
  like you know, Seth is the the CAC is asking about how should
• 1:26:57
  it be changed? Seth, hear me out.
• 1:26:59
  Even less structure. See if you can pull it off.
• 1:27:06
  Just yeah, just let them go anywhere.
• 1:27:08
  Just show up. Just.
• 1:27:10
  Show up whoever shows up 1st, 31st, 1st. 40 to check in are
• 1:27:15
  in, just race to the north. Korea qualify.
• 1:27:18
  What if we just put 40 people in North Korea and then whoever
• 1:27:22
  makes it out of the country they get?
• 1:27:24
  Just waiting on the other side of the fence if you made.
• 1:27:27
  It, and then if nobody makes it, nobody made it this year.
• 1:27:30
  Like a terrible joke. I mean, if a dude makes it out,
• 1:27:39
  though, you got to be like, we got to give him a chance.
• 1:27:40
  You got to make it out like a month early so we can get some,
• 1:27:43
  you know, get you some nutrition in.
• 1:27:45
  But after that, I really want to know what he's got.
• 1:27:48
  Yeah, if you make it out then you get a ticket to the games.
• 1:27:51
  You might be the fittest person on earth you make it out of.
• 1:27:53
  North Korea, you're definitely, you're definitely a great
• 1:27:56
  combination of smart and fit, right?
• 1:27:58
  So I think you've earned your ticket, quite frankly, more than
• 1:28:01
  anybody else has. You know what?
• 1:28:03
  One you can please, you can take somebody that you just pick.
• 1:28:07
  Yeah. That's fair as we wait for Mr.
• 1:28:10
  Pepper, WFP, Sarah Sigmund's daughter.
• 1:28:18
  I'm so hot. I'm so done with that name.
• 1:28:24
  She didn't do good 47th, something like that.
• 1:28:28
  It's. I mean, like, I don't, I don't
• 1:28:32
  even know if it's worth. I don't even know if it's worth
• 1:28:35
  highlighting because it's just like.
• 1:28:36
  It's not, it's. Not people.
• 1:28:40
  Still people, still morbid. Way to put it.
• 1:28:42
  But like my grandfather had Alzheimer's and when he died, I
• 1:28:45
  was like, he's been dead a long time.
• 1:28:47
  Like he's been living, but he's been dead a long time.
• 1:28:49
  I feel the same way about Sarah. I agree Sarah is your
• 1:28:52
  grandfather. I, I feel the same way of, of
• 1:28:57
  Sarah as Miko Salo. I don't know if you guys were
• 1:29:01
  watching like if you watched in real time as that happened.
• 1:29:04
  But like Miko Salo had all this hope in like coming into Carson
• 1:29:11
  and then he like ruptures his eardrum in the the first open
• 1:29:15
  water swim and he's out. And then he has like another
• 1:29:18
  injury the next year and he was out and I think he finally tried
• 1:29:21
  to come back. And he was.
• 1:29:23
  He was in the regional or something like that.
• 1:29:26
  And like, so he'd have been gone for two years.
• 1:29:27
  He came back that third year and like the athletes had passed him
• 1:29:32
  by, right? Like you still wanted him to go,
• 1:29:36
  but like he just didn't have that.
• 1:29:39
  Like he just didn't stay with the the the growth of the sport.
• 1:29:45
  And you're just like, oh man, like he's still doing like
• 1:29:48
  kipping. He's still doing kipping pull
• 1:29:50
  ups instead of butterfly pull ups like BE.
• 1:29:52
  Freaking rich in the open in a workout doing kipping pull ups.
• 1:29:57
  Yeah, it was just like, hey man, that's not cool anymore.
• 1:29:59
  Like we're. I just want to remember Miko
• 1:30:02
  Sayla from before. Not Yeah.
• 1:30:04
  And I feel. Like, that's why you don't you
• 1:30:07
  don't do what Muhammad Ali did and you don't try to extend your
• 1:30:10
  career like you do what? Who's the running back?
• 1:30:14
  Oh, it's the Detroit John Barry Sanders.
• 1:30:17
  Barry Sanders. Get out early.
• 1:30:19
  Get out when you're done. Calvin Johnson did that too.
• 1:30:22
  Yep, same thing with Brown's old school guy, Jim Brown.
• 1:30:28
  Jim Brown when he was done. Out how old is Sigma's daughter?
• 1:30:32
  Could she go to like Masters here soon?
• 1:30:34
  I don't know dude. I'm I'm.
• 1:30:35
  I'm done with it. You don't care.
• 1:30:37
  She can't beat my girl, so it doesn't matter.
• 1:30:39
  Dude, she's not. She's not good enough to hang
• 1:30:41
  with the Masters. No, I'm telling you right now,
• 1:30:46
  Marissa would crush. Yeah.
• 1:30:48
  I mean, Carolyn Prevo crushed her at World Fitness Project.
• 1:30:51
  Emily. Rolf crushed her.
• 1:30:52
  They're both masters. She's got like a size 5 shoe.
• 1:30:56
  Crush her, Marissa. Yeah, So that was your athlete,
• 1:30:59
  huh? What?
• 1:31:01
  At Magic City Games. I told you the winner.
• 1:31:04
  You were right, You're right, she crushed.
• 1:31:07
  Won four of the six events. Is that?
• 1:31:11
  Mean you're going, Is that mean you're going to the Masters
• 1:31:13
  games to coach? Yeah, dude, I'm going to be
• 1:31:16
  there like for a whole week. Like I think Leslie's already
• 1:31:20
  looking at tickets like for like to make it that long.
• 1:31:24
  I got to figure out how to stay somewhere but that.
• 1:31:29
  Makes sense? Yeah.
• 1:31:31
  But yeah, yeah. What do you think about Magic
• 1:31:33
  City? We haven't really talked about
• 1:31:34
  it because it's Masters. But yeah, dude, super well done.
• 1:31:38
  I think Micah Schumacher should have a chance at programming the
• 1:31:41
  games. I thought the I thought the
• 1:31:43
  programming was phenomenal and I like that they go outside, they
• 1:31:50
  try to do they try to make it as much of an experience as it can
• 1:31:55
  be. And everybody that was there
• 1:31:59
  equals the same sentiment or they've all said the same
• 1:32:02
  sentiment. I've not heard anybody say
• 1:32:03
  anything bad about really anything.
• 1:32:08
  Yeah, I I mean, I don't even know what to say from another
• 1:32:10
  been like it was really, really well.
• 1:32:12
  Ran Taylor was there. Me and him had a good talk, him
• 1:32:15
  and Bryson. But yeah, just all everything
• 1:32:20
  about it was great. I don't really know how about
• 1:32:23
  it. There he is.
• 1:32:25
  Looks like he just got finished jumping off that stepper
• 1:32:29
  machine. This.
• 1:32:30
  Podcast was dropping off so I had to get on here.
• 1:32:34
  We started talking about. Masters and Dallon was like
• 1:32:36
  enough of that. Yeah, yeah.
• 1:32:39
  That wasn't me, it wasn't you. Know the last Masters
• 1:32:41
  competition I was that it sucked that's what that was what Dallon
• 1:32:43
  said I didn't his words not mine, I.
• 1:32:45
  Did not. I did not say that.
• 1:32:49
  I did not say it though. I love all the Masters athletes,
• 1:32:53
  honestly. I spent a lot of good time with
• 1:32:54
  them back in the teenage days, sharing briefs in the horse
• 1:32:58
  arena in Madison. Yeah, we're kicked off to the
• 1:33:02
  side. Hey, at least you were together
• 1:33:05
  games. Yeah.
• 1:33:06
  How do you feel about Brazil? How do you feel about race
• 1:33:11
  relations? Let's go on this right now.
• 1:33:12
  Let's go. I mean, I was listening.
• 1:33:14
  I was listening. Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
• 1:33:17
  Just give me one word. One word.
• 1:33:18
  You don't got to go into. You don't got to, you know.
• 1:33:21
  Make it as explicit as possible. As one.
• 1:33:23
  Word. Fittest.
• 1:33:27
  Oh dude, I hate you right now. You're walking on the mountain.
• 1:33:31
  Why the fittest 1? Isn't that what you wanted to
• 1:33:33
  hear anyway? No.
• 1:33:35
  Oh, you wanted something? Oh, the Brazil the.
• 1:33:38
  People of Brazil say something the.
• 1:33:39
  People, the people of Brazil. Big Jesus.
• 1:33:44
  Portuguese. Playing word associations, John,
• 1:33:48
  you. Didn't send the rules.
• 1:33:49
  Very good. He's such a politician.
• 1:33:52
  That's good. Rio de Janeiro.
• 1:33:54
  Yeah, that's three. All right.
• 1:33:57
  I I heard you. I heard Dallin.
• 1:33:59
  You are quite the historian when it comes to games athletes.
• 1:34:05
  Yeah. I'm pretty good.
• 1:34:06
  So Tyler struggled at this segment.
• 1:34:09
  I don't. Bye, Dallin.
• 1:34:14
  Somebody called him. Of it you 100%.
• 1:34:18
  I don't struggle at this game John.
• 1:34:19
  I am useless at this game. I don't know if Down understands
• 1:34:24
  the game so. You know how when we play blind
• 1:34:28
  rankings and it's with shit you don't like?
• 1:34:33
  That's how I feel about this game, but I still try to
• 1:34:36
  participate. Dang, you think this is one of
• 1:34:38
  the sponsors that says hey man, you got we're?
• 1:34:40
  You got to get off that show. You're talking about Brazil
• 1:34:42
  like. Oh, here we go.
• 1:34:43
  See. Come back, Jason was probably
• 1:34:46
  calling him. Please put it in focus mode.
• 1:34:49
  Yeah, we're we're on focus mode. Now Tyler struggles at this game
• 1:34:53
  and he needs your help. OK, let's go, Tyler, me and you
• 1:34:57
  against the world. Well, your goal.
• 1:34:58
  Is to get you against the world. Your goal is to get it before I
• 1:35:02
  do I'll. Try.
• 1:35:04
  And then if you don't, I will explain who it is and then you
• 1:35:08
  can guess off my clues. Are the words going to be big?
• 1:35:11
  No, you'll see you'll. See.
• 1:35:12
  OK. Is it a race?
• 1:35:15
  You need to. You need to try to.
• 1:35:18
  You need to try to answer. I've given zero to this
• 1:35:21
  situation so far. Yeah, so I'm going to, I'm going
• 1:35:24
  to flash up a screen and it's going to show a history of a
• 1:35:28
  Games athlete and how what they placed in what year and we'll
• 1:35:33
  see. John struggled a couple times
• 1:35:36
  last week and got him in like 3 seconds really so he's he's
• 1:35:43
  something else. All right first one and these
• 1:35:46
  could be any any games athlete. You'll see what we're talking
• 1:35:51
  about here all right first one competed in 20/20/2015 his first
• 1:35:55
  time and finished 32nd went straight through 20/19.
• 1:35:59
  He was. Messing me up.
• 1:36:01
  And then came back in 2020. 14 Wow, that's 5432.
• 1:36:09
  All right. You ready, Galen?
• 1:36:11
  You ready? OK, he was fat.
• 1:36:13
  And then he got. Skinny Travis Williams.
• 1:36:15
  Got it. Good job down.
• 1:36:16
  So that's how we're going to play this game.
• 1:36:18
  OK. That's that's Tyler.
• 1:36:20
  Can get it that like that's how you play with Tyler.
• 1:36:23
  No, yeah, that's. How?
• 1:36:24
  That was an easy one, yeah. And Tyler struggles sometimes
• 1:36:28
  with my hands. OK.
• 1:36:30
  OK. Yeah, Tyler will not get one of
• 1:36:32
  these before John I I my odds of you getting one before.
• 1:36:36
  This is a good game. This is a good game guys.
• 1:36:39
  If you even get one before we before Jon gets hints, I'll be
• 1:36:43
  surprised. But I give you a 5 second
• 1:36:44
  countdown. Yeah, right.
• 1:36:46
  Could you do it quieter so I can actually think?
• 1:36:48
  Goodness. 5. All right.
• 1:36:53
  Next one, we're going to get a little older for Jon.
• 1:36:58
  Oh man, Oh gosh. There's Adam Romis.
• 1:37:05
  I think I stumped him. OK, I got it.
• 1:37:09
  That that took me. That took me a long time.
• 1:37:12
  All right, time's up. OK, baseball player.
• 1:37:18
  Baseball player Spencer Handel. Correct, Dallon.
• 1:37:22
  Wow. OK there.
• 1:37:26
  You go, Tyler. Was close.
• 1:37:29
  I was going Ben Smith and I was like, it's not Ben Smith.
• 1:37:31
  And my brain went Ben, Ben Smith.
• 1:37:34
  I I went. I went, Ben.
• 1:37:36
  I was. Like, well, no, there's not a
• 1:37:38
  win on there. I was really trying to use that
• 1:37:41
  5th. When they have, when they have
• 1:37:43
  like a lot of them, like I can't see all the numbers, you know
• 1:37:46
  what I mean? Like it's, they all meld
• 1:37:48
  together a little bit. Yeah, next one started a team,
• 1:37:53
  finished as a masters athlete. All right, I got it.
• 1:37:56
  Oh that, that's impressive. Right, this is a hard one to
• 1:38:00
  describe. A misfit girl.
• 1:38:03
  Oh, I know who it. Is China show?
• 1:38:06
  No. No, it's she's blonde, right?
• 1:38:09
  Yep. Alexis.
• 1:38:13
  Really good. Alexis Johnson.
• 1:38:14
  No, no, no, no. Maybe she's not blonde.
• 1:38:19
  She's just a name on her sheet for me.
• 1:38:22
  Give me another hint, John. All right, all right, she's a
• 1:38:24
  mom. What's the most popular food
• 1:38:27
  order at McDonald's? No Big Mac.
• 1:38:31
  Yeah, yeah, yeah. Now, what's the what's the
• 1:38:33
  second word of that? Mac.
• 1:38:35
  OK. It kind of starts with that.
• 1:38:39
  Mackenzie Riley. Got it.
• 1:38:41
  Tyler there. You go.
• 1:38:42
  Oh wow, good job, Tyler. Well done, well done.
• 1:38:47
  The Mac's a little off, but I was like, Godfather that was.
• 1:38:49
  Hard to be like. Here we go, another one from the
• 1:38:55
  the past. OK.
• 1:39:00
  I got it. You got it, You got it.
• 1:39:04
  You want to try to do it without me?
• 1:39:05
  Yeah, 2022, it's not Neil Maddox.
• 1:39:11
  No, but this guy kind of feels like a Neil Maddox.
• 1:39:15
  He won a. Sprint.
• 1:39:16
  He won a Sprint. He was the guy who won the
• 1:39:19
  Sprint against Matt Fraser in 2016 and nobody talks about it,
• 1:39:22
  but he actually won the Sprint. Matt Fraser was second.
• 1:39:24
  This is. Going to be embarrassing when
• 1:39:28
  you tell me. You ready?
• 1:39:31
  Yeah. OK.
• 1:39:32
  He's got a, he's got a Samoan name.
• 1:39:35
  Oh, Roy Gamboa. Yep, you you should have got
• 1:39:39
  that one. Man, I should have.
• 1:39:40
  Got that one that that Fraser hint was good.
• 1:39:43
  Yeah. If you noticed, 3/3 of the first
• 1:39:46
  four were misfit athletes. Oh, is that the game we're
• 1:39:50
  playing? He's going to try and trick us
• 1:39:52
  now. Maybe, I said three of the first
• 1:39:54
  four. All right, next, keep trying to
• 1:39:55
  give us a trend. Yeah, maybe I have to do
• 1:39:58
  anything I can to throw John off because it's my only chance.
• 1:40:02
  Here we go. There's been there two of the
• 1:40:05
  games a lot since 2012. Women, Zeroth Place, 2015.
• 1:40:10
  Got it. Yeah.
• 1:40:12
  What is that? Should drop out.
• 1:40:15
  No, he. You are giving me hard names
• 1:40:18
  though. Spin.
• 1:40:20
  OK, what do you call a girl who has been with a lot of guys?
• 1:40:28
  My God. Fun.
• 1:40:31
  A gardening tool. Hoe.
• 1:40:35
  OK, now what is the past form of run?
• 1:40:39
  Ran. Oh, Danny Haran.
• 1:40:43
  Yeah. Oh, Ran.
• 1:40:44
  Got it. What?
• 1:40:45
  Happened in the 20 what happened in 2015 she.
• 1:40:47
  You could. You could have said.
• 1:40:49
  You could have said, well, whatever Frazier's first gym
• 1:40:52
  was, that would have been no, that's no.
• 1:40:55
  That would have been Yeah, I have nailed that one.
• 1:41:01
  Yeah. All right, John, let's see if I
• 1:41:03
  can get you on this one. Here you go.
• 1:41:06
  OK, I got it. That one was.
• 1:41:09
  Good, that's crazy. Oh my God.
• 1:41:12
  Amanda Goodman. I'm not even going to.
• 1:41:13
  Yeah, no. That was no chance, are you?
• 1:41:15
  Getting I feel like I feel like, listen, me and John were talking
• 1:41:19
  and I I had tutors Max snatch right at the most recent
• 1:41:22
  competition and he had it wrong and I said some words to him and
• 1:41:26
  I feel like this is punishment for that.
• 1:41:31
  Let's see. All right, next one.
• 1:41:34
  It's more of Dallin's era. Here we go.
• 1:41:38
  All right. I got it, John.
• 1:41:40
  You could probably. You could probably.
• 1:41:41
  Get this one though. Insane 30 sorry. 3070 you gonna
• 1:41:46
  try? I don't know.
• 1:41:48
  I'm not in that. Heat, you could do this.
• 1:41:50
  He's got a he's got. A.
• 1:41:54
  Do it, You do you do it. It's so dirty.
• 1:41:55
  I. I know. 50 Shades of.
• 1:41:58
  Grey grey. Yep, in Star Wars it's really
• 1:42:04
  cool. Light Saber grey.
• 1:42:07
  Saber Colgate Grey. Saber.
• 1:42:08
  Oh, Grey, Saber. Shoot, we had the same coach for
• 1:42:12
  a long time. Well, you didn't know his name,
• 1:42:15
  so you didn't know I. Didn't know that's what he
• 1:42:18
  placed that was that's the fact that you got that off of
• 1:42:22
  placements. He.
• 1:42:23
  Got the same placement 2 times in a row and that that's
• 1:42:26
  significant. That's like you can tell because
• 1:42:28
  of the way it is. That's obvious.
• 1:42:36
  All right, you got three more going back again back early
• 1:42:40
  days. All right, I got it.
• 1:42:45
  That is absurd. 3 Give me the hints.
• 1:42:47
  Yeah, give me the hints. The screen does the screen
• 1:42:49
  faster. Houston, this guy had the long
• 1:42:51
  leggings. He he invented the ninja look.
• 1:42:54
  No, no, no, no, not the power. Sweet Kenny leverage.

• 1:43:17
  bunch of guys, it's awesome. Oh.
• 1:43:19
  He he did the Johnny Knoxville thing, but yeah, lifting all.
• 1:43:25
  Right Next up. Oh, OK. 5th is not helping me in
• 1:43:34
  2009. I got it.
• 1:43:37
  But this one, I Yeah, I mean, that was that was better.
• 1:43:39
  Let me try and feel like a hint. This is hard Hint.
• 1:43:42
  OK. Most common name in the world?
• 1:43:44
  John. Smith.
• 1:43:48
  Yep, that's your last name. This might be one that they
• 1:43:52
  don't even like. Rebuild OK.
• 1:43:54
  I don't know this one's. I got 2013 who was second and
• 1:43:58
  for the women? Oh yeah.
• 1:44:04
  Yeah, got it. 2013 she was second for the women.
• 1:44:08
  Who was it? Was that when Sam won?
• 1:44:11
  Yes, Yep. It was Lindsay Valance.
• 1:44:13
  Yeah, that's her first name. That's her first name.
• 1:44:15
  And then what? Was Lindsay Smith Lindsay Smith?
• 1:44:18
  Yeah, yeah, that girl. Yeah.
• 1:44:21
  If you asked me to say anything about her, I don't know, but
• 1:44:25
  I'm. Actually, she's married to Webb
• 1:44:26
  Smith. I'm impressed with my 2013
• 1:44:28
  women's podium knowledge right there.
• 1:44:30
  That was good. Thank you.
• 1:44:32
  That was. Like one of the most iconic
• 1:44:33
  podiums. Who was third?
• 1:44:37
  Valvo. Super, super impressive talent.
• 1:44:41
  I I had what I needed when it counted.
• 1:44:46
  OK, how about this? Is Tyler right or wrong?
• 1:44:50
  I think he's. Wrong.
• 1:44:52
  No, he's right. But Tudor did snatch 325 at
• 1:44:56
  2023. It was when she got called the
• 1:44:59
  Toyota Camry and. All of that she actually tied
• 1:45:02
  with Alessandra Bocelli. So if you remember Bocelli, that
• 1:45:07
  was when the whole legless Kip was invented.
• 1:45:10
  The Kip. Go back like a couple, spin the
• 1:45:16
  one he got in like half a second.
• 1:45:19
  All of them. Go back to 8.
• 1:45:21
  So like, no no, go, go to. 7 The one more, one more, yeah.
• 1:45:25
  So like when you're when you're looking at this, John, but let
• 1:45:30
  me tell you what goes through my brain.
• 1:45:31
  I go 2015, what happened in 2015, OK.
• 1:45:35
  And I just think about the program.
• 1:45:36
  What were the iconic moments? What happens in your brain?
• 1:45:40
  Amanda Goodman won the Clean and Jerk in 2013 and she literally
• 1:45:44
  did zero with any other event. She was the 1st place and she
• 1:45:48
  was 35th place and I just don't I that doesn't I don't forget
• 1:45:51
  that. That makes zero sense.
• 1:45:57
  You can tell by the way it is. All right, we got one more all.
• 1:46:04
  Of you. Oh, there is one more.
• 1:46:06
  There's one more. There's one more.
• 1:46:08
  All of you should be able to get this one.
• 1:46:10
  I doubt you get it faster than John, but I think there's a
• 1:46:13
  chance. I got it.
• 1:46:18
  I think they can get it though. I'm with you.
• 1:46:20
  I'm going to wait for. The first hold on, I should
• 1:46:25
  absolutely know this one. The 5th 14 to 15 gives it away
• 1:46:28
  dude. Tyler has it.
• 1:46:29
  Say it, Tyler, you're going to make the one so bad.
• 1:46:35
  Gosh Dang. It Mccary.
• 1:46:37
  Mccary. Dude, he would have been lost if
• 1:46:40
  you would have got that right. I.
• 1:46:42
  Would have. Dang it, Tyler.
• 1:46:47
  Oh, I was sorry. I did the Family Feud thing
• 1:46:49
  where I just hit the button even though I don't know the answer.
• 1:46:54
  I was missing, I was missing the 2022 because I forgot her back.
• 1:46:59
  Yeah, this is a This is a really weird way to look at athletes.
• 1:47:05
  I agree. It's challenging.
• 1:47:07
  For John, it's not that difficult, apparently.
• 1:47:10
  No, it's, it's, it's just I've, I've looked at the leaderboards
• 1:47:14
  whenever I make things and and whatever and.
• 1:47:19
  Like what if they? Programming and stuff, and then
• 1:47:21
  they just catalog in my brain and I never forget them.
• 1:47:24
  Yeah, yeah, wait, what if, what if you played it?
• 1:47:32
  Would it be easier or harder if you played it and it was just a
• 1:47:34
  screenshot of all the finishes from a games with no with no
• 1:47:40
  event names cake? I think I.
• 1:47:44
  Could and and you don't know the year, just a list of finishes I.
• 1:47:48
  Wouldn't need to know the year the.
• 1:47:49
  Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait wait.
• 1:47:51
  You just want the event, say. That event placement listed out
• 1:47:55
  from a random year at the games. A person.
• 1:47:58
  But you're not. You don't get the events, you
• 1:47:59
  don't get the year. It's just 1st 8th. 7th Event 2.
• 1:48:04
  The athlete's placement I I think, but you don't get the
• 1:48:07
  athlete names either. No, you don't get the athlete.
• 1:48:10
  Names that that would be really difficult.
• 1:48:12
  I think I could get there for most of them.
• 1:48:14
  But yeah, you'd have to. You'd have to do like some event
• 1:48:17
  wins like if they won the 3rd event at random CrossFit games.
• 1:48:22
  Yeah, No, I'm talking to like the person who gets like 17th
• 1:48:25
  and 11th in every single workout.
• 1:48:27
  Like I, I think I could, I think I could get there with pretty
• 1:48:30
  much everybody, but it would, I would have to like.
• 1:48:35
  Wow. I would have to like look at it
• 1:48:38
  for a while though. I'd have.
• 1:48:39
  To yeah, that one wouldn't be as fast.
• 1:48:41
  It'd probably be. I feel like you could be any
• 1:48:43
  faster if you had the year of the yeah yeah of the events.
• 1:48:47
  No, no, no 'cause I could. Oh, oh, I see what you're
• 1:48:49
  saying. Yes, yes, if I had event names.
• 1:48:52
  But based on number of events. One event name I could figure
• 1:48:56
  the whole. Thing it'll it'll tell you the
• 1:48:58
  entire standings. Yeah, that would be insane.
• 1:49:02
  John, if we gave you one event and if you got like 10 right, I
• 1:49:07
  would be dumbfounded. Hey, no, the best John is that
• 1:49:11
  guy in the clip where it's like, hey, the teacher said no test.
• 1:49:14
  If you can name every Piston Cup winner in history, this is John.
• 1:49:18
  It's like, there we go. Yeah.
• 1:49:20
  Yeah, dude, somebody put up NBA MVPS and I can do, I can pretty
• 1:49:24
  much do it all the way down to like 1970.
• 1:49:27
  Like it's not, it doesn't just it's not just CrossFit stuff.
• 1:49:31
  I wish you. See that post Sports.
• 1:49:33
  Do you like trains too? No, I don't.
• 1:49:36
  I missed that. I missed that boat did.
• 1:49:39
  You see that post CrossFit made with Danielle about her saying
• 1:49:42
  boys that are obsessed with like football and how much time they
• 1:49:45
  waste. I was just sitting here thinking
• 1:49:47
  about John not only does that with football, he does it with
• 1:49:49
  literally everything else and CrossFit.
• 1:49:51
  No, no. No, no.
• 1:49:54
  The difference is I can look at a sheet of paper and then I have
• 1:49:57
  all of that forever. I probably look at that stuff
• 1:50:00
  less than you guys. Do I doubt it?
• 1:50:09
  Oh my. Gosh, that's amazing.
• 1:50:12
  Like I'm not studying, it just doesn't leave my brain.
• 1:50:15
  Like when I pulled all the leaderboards for the open, I
• 1:50:18
  didn't look at a single one, I just was trying to figure out
• 1:50:20
  how to run data with it. Awesome down.
• 1:50:26
  Good job. Thank you.
• 1:50:28
  It's as good as John. I don't think it's been next
• 1:50:31
  week. We should we should do just a
• 1:50:33
  special on talent and be like in 20 25th PL. and then see who can
• 1:50:42
  name the event faster or or or you can name the event.
• 1:50:46
  Who will name that fast or? Like you.
• 1:50:48
  Want me to come up with some trivia about me?
• 1:50:50
  No like like cross, like cross country 5K and then first one to
• 1:50:54
  name your placement wins. You might, you could beat me on
• 1:50:59
  some of those. Dude, I.
• 1:51:03
  Think that'd be a good game? Yeah, yeah, that 5K wasn't so
• 1:51:08
  good, huh? It's.
• 1:51:08
  The 24th are you asking? Yeah.
• 1:51:12
  What was it, John? What was it?
• 1:51:14
  Don't look it up. What?
• 1:51:15
  Was it the field cut down to 30? I'll give you that hint.
• 1:51:20
  Not that you needed that hint, Nevermind.
• 1:51:22
  That's Hopper didn't get to compete.
• 1:51:24
  You're looking. You're looking at something I'll
• 1:51:26
  be looking at Chit. I don't know if he was 24th or
• 1:51:29
  not. I don't think he was.
• 1:51:30
  I don't think you were 24th. Well, now we got to check it.
• 1:51:34
  Now you can pull the number. You were either.
• 1:51:36
  You were either. You were either 25th or 26th.
• 1:51:39
  You weren't 24th. I think you might be right. 24th
• 1:51:43
  sounded better though. Let's see, are you looking it
• 1:51:47
  up? I'm looking it up.
• 1:51:48
  I I don't, I do not know you don't.
• 1:51:50
  You are not 24th. That was David Shirunke.
• 1:51:55
  Was that 23rd? I think I beat that would be
• 1:51:57
  Colton Mertens you. Were 25th or 26th?
• 1:52:00
  Yeah. By.
• 1:52:01
  One of the other colt down was 25th.
• 1:52:03
  He beat Jack Farlow by There You Go.
• 1:52:07
  See, so this would that would be harder, but if I had the if I
• 1:52:10
  had it in front of me with numbers or the the event by the
• 1:52:14
  event in front of me, I think I I think I could get there, but
• 1:52:18
  it's not the same when I have numbers in front of me.
• 1:52:20
  So you just have photographic memory?
• 1:52:21
  Yeah, yeah, yeah. If it was a Dallin Pepper 25th,
• 1:52:24
  5K would jump into my mind. Does that make sense?
• 1:52:27
  Yes, that makes. More sense, but Dallin Pepper 5
• 1:52:30
  K 25th does not jump into my mind as much.
• 1:52:35
  OK, I mean, I still did better than.
• 1:52:37
  You that makes makes perfect sense.
• 1:52:43
  That's it. All right, Dale.
• 1:52:45
  Appreciate it. Appreciate.
• 1:52:47
  The training finished. Later, Yeah, Thank you for
• 1:52:49
  coming on. Do you think, do you think Jason
• 1:52:52
  will win the French Throwdown? What are the odds that he
• 1:52:54
  doesn't win? Not very high.
• 1:52:58
  There's some great. It's like, it's like John when
• 1:53:00
  we talked before Legends and I saw the workouts like, well, I
• 1:53:05
  should be able to win this one. So he's got a good chance, but
• 1:53:10
  I'm rooting for Harry Lightfoot so.
• 1:53:13
  Why? Why?
• 1:53:15
  Did he never make it? And I would have beat him.
• 1:53:20
  I don't, I don't, I don't know if it's pot, do I?
• 1:53:23
  Hey, do you think any girl in the world could have beaten
• 1:53:27
  Anika Greer at Copa Sur? I'm going to be honest, I have
• 1:53:32
  not looked at the events close enough to answer that question.
• 1:53:34
  Do you think any guy in the world could beat down a Jason at
• 1:53:37
  French Showdown? Because I don't.
• 1:53:42
  Harry Lightfoot. Harry All right, We'll, we'll,
• 1:53:47
  we'll let you go. Appreciate it.
• 1:53:49
  All right. See you down.
• 1:53:50
  Thanks, dude. All right.
• 1:53:52
  Last up, little fake ID. This is the first time I had
• 1:53:56
  ever heard of this. But wait, wait, wait.
• 1:54:00
  We had one come in while we were Ashley E.
• 1:54:05
  Ashley E from the viewer comments late to the live.
• 1:54:09
  Glad my comment made you all laugh.
• 1:54:11
  If you can learn to find the humor instead of trying to find
• 1:54:13
  a fence then life is a lot more fun and a little less miserable.
• 1:54:17
  Lol, thanks guys. Thank you, Ashley.
• 1:54:19
  Thank you, Ashley. If you're lost, go back, go back
• 1:54:22
  to the viewer comments. And she explained John very,
• 1:54:27
  very well. Yeah.
• 1:54:30
  So this afternoon I reported that 4 athletes from this year's
• 1:54:36
  CrossFit Open received the received the sanction.
• 1:54:44
  And we knew Elsa. We knew Elsa Boy Boyvink.
• 1:54:47
  Is that what it was? Boyvink.
• 1:54:51
  Sure. John's frozen.
• 1:54:55
  That's good. He is now a What do they call
• 1:54:58
  that when you can talk without your mouth moving?
• 1:55:00
  Ventriloquist. Yeah, yeah.
• 1:55:04
  Elsa Bovink. We knew she got a four year fan
• 1:55:08
  for editing her video, but she was not the only one.
• 1:55:12
  Actually, there's this guy named Angelo De Milo, 50 to 54 year
• 1:55:16
  old division. If you look for him on the
• 1:55:19
  leaderboard, he is no longer there.
• 1:55:21
  But if you search for him and type in 26.126 point 226.3
• 1:55:28
  CrossFit, you actually have archived pages where his video
• 1:55:33
  submission was sitting that are now been taken down.
• 1:55:37
  He posted scores that were that Kale Lehman would be proud of
• 1:55:43
  7th and 26.1 in his age group, 17th and 3rd.
• 1:55:47
  It would have been him in second in the world.
• 1:55:51
  Looking at my Instagram post it sounds like some of his fellow
• 1:55:55
  competitors ratted them out and said I don't think these are
• 1:55:58
  legit and he deleted. Post.
• 1:56:02
  Yeah, 18 said that his 26.1 video needed to be reviewed 5 on
• 1:56:08
  26.25 on 26.3 all the scores were deleted.
• 1:56:14
  I don't know how like why his all the scores are off the
• 1:56:17
  leaderboard, but yeah, he he received another four year ban
• 1:56:22
  for editing his video. Just shout out to anybody else
• 1:56:27
  who wants to cheat in the future.
• 1:56:28
  If you get caught, don't delete your YouTube videos.
• 1:56:30
  It's just like it's more fun for the rest of.
• 1:56:32
  Us. Yeah, let us watch.
• 1:56:34
  Yeah, for sure. And then, and I had not heard of
• 1:56:38
  this before, but after posting it, I heard that there might be
• 1:56:41
  more of these. Oh if you want to go see his old
• 1:56:45
  videos go to at Built by Angelo on YouTube.
• 1:56:49
  And from 2022 there were two teenagers who falsified their
• 1:56:56
  age. 1 was 14 to 15. One was in the 16 to 17 year old
• 1:57:02
  division. Both of those have been removed
• 1:57:04
  from the leaderboard and have received a one year sanction for
• 1:57:09
  falsifying. CrossFit would not disclose the
• 1:57:13
  names because they are minors. However they are, they were
• 1:57:17
  torpedoed off the leaderboard. So I I assume because they're
• 1:57:22
  minors that they may have been like aging up.
• 1:57:25
  I don't know. They said that they weren't
• 1:57:27
  kids. That's what they said.
• 1:57:29
  Well, they're saying that they were not in the right age group,
• 1:57:32
  so I don't know if there's a whole like I don't know if
• 1:57:33
  there's a 16 year old trying to compete in a 1415 to have it
• 1:57:37
  advantage. I mean, they're, yeah, probably.
• 1:57:42
  You're not going to. I don't think you're going to
• 1:57:44
  dock on a year for like going up.
• 1:57:47
  My guess is that the 16 to 17 year old's still a minor who
• 1:57:51
  will like turn 18 before the cut off for the game.
• 1:57:54
  Yeah, it's probably how they're still a minor.
• 1:57:56
  They're trying to stay in the minor league and then try to
• 1:57:59
  win. Yeah, that makes that makes
• 1:58:00
  sense. And So what I've heard is
• 1:58:02
  actually if you go through some athlete profiles, especially in
• 1:58:05
  the team division, you'll see that they actually competed in
• 1:58:07
  the same year three time or the same Division Three times.
• 1:58:12
  So they. Adjusted they.
• 1:58:13
  Adjusted it. Some may be that they were 13
• 1:58:16
  and they're like, you know what, I'm just going to falsify so I
• 1:58:18
  can actually put myself on the leaderboard.
• 1:58:19
  I know there are some 13 year olds that like are good, good
• 1:58:24
  enough to like be competitive, but they're not allowed to
• 1:58:27
  compete. So that may be the case.
• 1:58:29
  I don't know all the examples, but yeah, apparently there were
• 1:58:33
  two teenagers that we're trying to skirt the system.
• 1:58:37
  Dude, in the Little League World Series, people do that all the
• 1:58:39
  time. There is a Chicago team that
• 1:58:42
  like just hit bombs off of everybody and like half the team
• 1:58:47
  was 15 and you're supposed to be 14.
• 1:58:50
  Right. It sucks.
• 1:58:52
  Like don't do that. Don't age down, aging up fine.
• 1:58:57
  Do it all day. That's cool as hell.
• 1:58:59
  There's a guy that Johnson, he played ball at UK and he in 8th
• 1:59:04
  grade was playing with high schoolers and I think in I think
• 1:59:07
  in 6th grade he was playing with high schoolers.
• 1:59:11
  Didn't Emma Kerry go to the Games at 17?
• 1:59:14
  She did. Yeah, and so, but the age.
• 1:59:18
  Now so did Emma. O'Brien.
• 1:59:22
  But like what if they're what's what's the date of the games and
• 1:59:25
  the date moves? The day the the day was still
• 1:59:28
  the same. Like it was still like it's like
• 1:59:30
  either June 1st or May 5th. Like it's a random like day in
• 1:59:33
  the middle of the summer. So imagine your birthday is like
• 1:59:36
  May 2nd or May. You know May.
• 1:59:38
  Yeah, it's like the day, the day after.
• 1:59:40
  And you're like, yeah, you're like, if I was just right.
• 1:59:43
  Don't do that. I understand it though.
• 1:59:46
  I mean, think about, I mean, a year when you're developing
• 1:59:49
  teenagers is a huge difference. Like and your boy is like
• 1:59:54
  whatever he's like what he's like if you're on the cut off
• 1:59:57
  date or the day after versus the day before and you're like,
• 2:00:00
  you're a whole year older than somebody that's competing when
• 2:00:02
  you're in like the 14 to 15, like that's light years ahead of
• 2:00:06
  everybody. It's crazy.
• 2:00:08
  Do you remember that scene in Hardball though, when Jamal was
• 2:00:11
  8 days older than what he was supposed to be?
• 2:00:14
  And then they said you can't be on the baseball team.
• 2:00:16
  And then you went and joined a gang and then got shot and died.
• 2:00:19
  And it was, it was horrible. Jamal didn't actually die, but.
• 2:00:24
  CrossFit sealed their fate. They're gonna turn into gang
• 2:00:27
  members. Rest in peace, Gee baby, that's
• 2:00:29
  all I'm saying. Gee, baby.
• 2:00:32
  Hey, I met this woman at Miss Lori Winkelman at Magic City.
• 2:00:38
  She said she was a big fan and she said she was Lori Winkelman.
• 2:00:41
  I was like, I know the name. She was very nice.
• 2:00:43
  Awesome. Yeah, this was, he was Michael B
• 2:00:47
  Jordan. That's the guy who was eight
• 2:00:49
  days, 8 days past the He played Jamal in hardball.
• 2:00:53
  Michael B Jordan played Jamal in.
• 2:00:55
  Hardball. Yeah, look it up.
• 2:00:56
  That's how I got to start. OK, weird.
• 2:00:59
  Yeah. Reeves great movie.
• 2:01:02
  Yeah, the date thing sucks. The the other guy just
• 2:01:06
  falsifying videos. Classic.
• 2:01:09
  I wish we would have seen him. Like I'm curious like were they
• 2:01:11
  legit videos? Did he really edit them?
• 2:01:14
  Who knows now? I know.
• 2:01:15
  We took them down. Hey, that whole J thing got real
• 2:01:19
  quiet, didn't it? We just dropped that right off
• 2:01:24
  the table, didn't we? Yeah.
• 2:01:27
  You're not wrong. We're like, well, are there any
• 2:01:29
  edited videos? Right.
• 2:01:31
  People will get there. It's fine.
• 2:01:34
  They must be or if I were Jay, I'd be throwing, I'd be throwing
• 2:01:37
  bows. I'd just be like ratting people
• 2:01:40
  out all day on on Instagram. But.
• 2:01:42
  Dude, it was insane that Dave said that Dallin kept such a
• 2:01:46
  straight face. What?
• 2:01:48
  What did Dave say to Dallin? When they were interviewing
• 2:01:53
  Dave, was he asked him if he watched the competition?
• 2:01:56
  He goes no, but I did see who went to the games and that's how
• 2:01:59
  I know it was like the right people got to the games and Alan
• 2:02:03
  just got the straight face and didn't say anything but.
• 2:02:09
