• 2:44
  That's true. Before we get into viewer
• 2:47
  comments, Grant Griffin is in the is out there in the chat.
• 2:50
  Will Mason and Trista be a topic tonight?
• 2:53
  Tyler, I know you like this one. Dude, I felt bad.
• 2:57
  I felt like I was stealing your Thunder or something, but I
• 2:59
  couldn't keep my hands off of it.
• 3:02
  Why? This is just This is too juicy.
• 3:05
  It's too much fun. I put, I mean, I put the the
• 3:09
  comment out there, the comment thread and then then it kind of
• 3:12
  just took off from there. Yeah, You know, it's great,
• 3:16
  Dave. I create the news and I let
• 3:17
  other people expand on it. It's.
• 3:19
  It's just, it's just one of the purest, most fun things that's
• 3:23
  happened in CrossFit in a long time.
• 3:24
  No bad stuff. That's right, Mason and Trister

  Yes. Am I?

  Right sounds. Crispy.
• 3:35
  Yeah, I like it. Sounds good.
• 3:38
  So yeah, that was crash is going to be very, very interesting to
• 3:42
  say the least. So interesting so.
• 3:46
  Can I follow you around with a camera, Gret Mason?
• 3:50
  That'd be a good one. Yeah.
• 3:52
  There you go. Yeah, I did ask for this.
• 3:57
  I mean, hey, that is true for all you losers who are not
• 4:02
  media. I have something that probably
• 4:05
  not many people do have. I have the Iceland Annie book
• 4:11
  fresh off the putting press, so I'm not giving it a read yet,
• 4:15
  but I'm sure there's plenty of adverbs and adjectives and
• 4:21
  supportives and all that stuff. Yeah, a lot of over the top
• 4:26
  language, but it's going to be great.
• 4:27
  I can't wait to read that I guess.
• 4:30
  Should we go to viewer comments? Viewer comments.
• 4:32
  Hold on, I'm going to. Oh, you got a thing?
• 4:35
  I'm going to no, I don't got a thing.
• 4:37
  I'm just, I'm going to, I, I feel very unprofessional now, so
• 4:41
  go ahead and read the first one, but I'm going to get more
• 4:44
  professional. This show is off to a
• 4:49
  resounding. Start killer.
• 4:50
  Start. Oh, geez.
• 4:53
  All right, well, first of all, I want to thank all of you who
• 4:58
  stayed with us. We are only down, I think 6
• 5:02
  subscribers on the channel after our intro last week, a net 6.
• 5:08
  So that's not bad. Yeah, given given what you know
• 5:14
  Royce Dunn saw on his Instagram page where he lost 10,000 people
• 5:19
  for his just posting Charlie Kirk, I thought we might be be
• 5:23
  in for a hurting but only down 6 hey.
• 5:27
  If you're not following, please help us recover those six please
• 5:31
  like, follow, subscribe, do all the stuff.
• 5:33
  I think. And I don't want the same 6, I
• 5:36
  want a different 6. You 6 that left you stay off.
• 5:39
  I believe in redemption. Do you guys?
• 5:41
  Come back. I don't.
• 5:42
  I don't, Tyler, listen to I'm, I'm alive now.
• 5:47
  I we're ready to, we're ready to rock.
• 5:49
  Now, Oh, you're, you're on fire now, huh?
• 5:51
  I got my beater rock. I got an Oreo in hand.
• 5:54
  I'm ready to rock. Only 9 minutes behind schedule,
• 5:57
  but all right, I'll take it. We're good.
• 6:00
  I think this guy probably unfollowed Woodsy or you know,
• 6:04
  Woody Woods. If I quote, I'm a Charlie Kirk
• 6:08
  guy, UN quote. Good grief.
• 6:10
  Never would I have thought JJY was into lunatic far right
• 6:14
  Christian conspiracy, anti LGBT nut jobs.
• 6:19
  In no way did he deserve to get shot.
• 6:22
  But to say he was a good guy and then go on about how quote all I
• 6:26
  know UN quote a shooter was trans and another was of color.
• 6:30
  Sad honestly. Better keep the politics
• 6:32
  entirely out of the show guys. So.
• 6:36
  There's there's good people on both sides of this.
• 6:41
  Of that comment thread. Just saw all of this.
• 6:47
  You know, there's good people on both sides.
• 6:49
  SGCG is giving us some productive feedback.
• 6:54
  Y'all got to stop breathing so heavily into the microphone.
• 6:58
  I think that's me. I'm not sure, but I think it's
• 6:59
  me. It was happening when I was
• 7:02
  talking. John Choose.
• 7:04
  He's fucking Oreo. I know, I know that it wasn't me
• 7:07
  because it was happening when you were when I was talking.
• 7:09
  Yeah, yeah, yeah. Let's see.
• 7:12
  Jr. Gills wants some credit for the
• 7:17
  blind rankings idea last week, so yeah.
• 7:21
  There's your credit. With Ty Jenkins.
• 7:22
  So yeah, I used it. I forgot who sent it.
• 7:26
  Sorry. Jr.
• 7:28
  Other Jr. back with this week in Murfreesboro.
• 7:32
  Andrew Farmer sends us in. Thank you Andrew. 4 Texas men
• 7:36
  were charged with a failed ATM theft in Murfreesboro.
• 7:40
  The theft almost occurred on August 1st when the local gas
• 7:43
  station and subsequent ATM owner opened fire on the delinquents
• 7:47
  and killed one of them. Oh geez guys, it's either talk
• 7:51
  about this or somebody getting fired at MTSU for saying
• 7:54
  insensitive things on social media about Charlie Kirk.
• 7:56
  Heavy stuff, not a lot to choose from so.
• 8:00
  Boy, you guys are having a week? Yeah, and the last one, Tessa,
• 8:06
  TTT 5241. Maybe a training think tank,
• 8:09
  Tessa, I don't know. Thanks, guys.
• 8:11
  It was a great list, great to listen to fitness news and just
• 8:14
  that. Plus Ty is golden.
• 8:16
  So apparently Tessa was not upset with our intro so she must
• 8:20
  still be a subscriber to our channel.
• 8:22
  So. Thank you.
• 8:24
  Yeah, lots of fewer comments. Drop those down below if you are
• 8:28
  watching after the fact or come back later and watch it again
• 8:32
  and then drop a comment. Chat there throughout the week.
• 8:36
  Treat it as your discord if you will.

• 8:40
  No, we're going to go with something else.
• 8:42
  Treat it like your Reddit. Reddit, yeah, the much better.
• 8:46
  Pay better. I'd like to go in maybe like
• 8:49

  That's when I throw my punches in the comments because on
• 8:56
  Saturdays and Sundays. So I appreciate it, appreciate
• 9:00
  the algorithm and then also, of course, subscribe if you are not
• 9:03
  a hater 2026 CrossFit game season.
• 9:09
  That's the big news today yeah, I was waiting for it.
• 9:13
  They they waited for Wednesday to release the information and.
• 9:16
  I'm a little dude. I was so freaking psyched to do
• 9:23
  the Challenger division for World Fitness project on tour
• 9:27
  stop one. I was so excited.
• 9:31
  He still came and and now I'm not it.
• 9:40
  Was all it took, huh? Yeah, yeah.
• 9:45
  So 2026 CrossFit game season let me we boot Will out of here and
• 9:51
  bring in a different screen. Get out of here.
• 9:53
  Will he sneaks in the back sometimes?
• 9:56
  Yeah, I don't. I don't know why.
• 9:57
  He's just always there. All right?
• 10:00
  2026 CrossFit game season. First off, in person qualifying
• 10:05
  events are no longer. They're just called semifinals.
• 10:08
  As God intended. And in affiliate semifinals are
• 10:11
  called online semifinals, so that's great.
• 10:15
  The 2026 CrossFit Open, we know. We've known this since a while
• 10:20
  back February 26th through Monday, March 16th, 3 weeks,
• 10:26
  basically the same three weeks as it was this year.
• 10:29
  No change to the Open. John will still hate the
• 10:32
  programming. It'll be fine.
• 10:34
  We'll move on through the Open. The season starts February 26th.
• 10:41
  The next news? What's that?
• 10:42
  The open is fine when you have quarterfinals.
• 10:46
  Is it he has said this? Absolutely.
• 10:50
  That's the preseason, right? I've been very consistent with
• 10:52
  this. Well, I'm talking about for
• 10:55
  general population. No, you know what I mean, The
• 10:58
  elites. The elites don't matter when it
• 11:00
  comes to like the Open or like before semi finals as as as you
• 11:05
  have alluded to, it's the preseason.
• 11:07
  Preseason games do not matter for the elites.
• 11:12
  But if you talk about general population, the open does
• 11:16
  matter. It's where people do a lot used
• 11:18
  to do a lot of firsts right, your first bar muscle up your
• 11:21
  first time snatching or cleaning a certain weight right like it's
• 11:25
  it's you know the magic of the open right?
• 11:29
  It gives people something to strive for if they don't have a
• 11:33
  certain movement. But it's not a true test of
• 11:38
  fitness anymore. It used to be with five weeks.
• 11:42
  Now when you go from the Open to just semifinals and it's the 1%,
• 11:47
  it goes Open. Elite people, right?
• 11:51
  And I know elite people is it is a little bit of a skewed thing.
• 11:57
  I wouldn't put Bryson as elite in me.
• 12:00
  He's in the top 1%, right? But like that when you just test
• 12:06
  aerobic capacity and that's it, I think there should be a way
• 12:11
  more well-rounded test to get to the top 1%.
• 12:14
  Like that should be the fittest 1% and I don't necessarily think
• 12:18
  you test for that. We're just testing for aerobic
• 12:20
  capacity. When you have a 10% or a 25%, I
• 12:25
  do not know these things, you know spin the details of
• 12:27
  quarterfinals, I do. We'll get into that.
• 12:29
  OK. We'll get into that.
• 12:30
  So when you, let's just call it 10%, when you have 10%, you
• 12:33
  almost have a catch. All that if you can't make it to
• 12:38
  the top 10%, you aerobically just aren't good enough to be
• 12:41
  there. You shouldn't like you need to
• 12:44
  work on that. All you need to work on is
• 12:46
  rowing burpees, toast to bar, chest to bar, lightweight
• 12:50
  snatches, wall walks. Like that's what you should
• 12:53
  train because aerobically it is the bottom of the pyramid.
• 12:57
  It is the most aerobic capacity is the highest skill set that we
• 13:02
  should as fitness people you should have in your repertoire.
• 13:06
  You know I go into most gyms I'm I'm gonna be 1 of the fittest,
• 13:12
  if not the fittest guy there Aerobically that is in that
• 13:17
  doesn't mean elite. I'm still trash right, right.
• 13:21
  I'll. Go with you, yeah.
• 13:23
  Most gyms Tyler like this. I'm not talking about competing
• 13:26
  gyms. Gyms where you know, the most
• 13:29
  people are over the age of 40, you know you have to be a
• 13:35
  certain level of aerobic to make those quarterfinals.
• 13:38
  I have no issue at all with that.
• 13:40
  But then quarterfinals is a well-rounded test.
• 13:43
  Quarterfinals, I don't think anybody, I wish I had a rainbow
• 13:47
  that I can make. You need to work on that
• 13:51
  quarterfinals. I believe it's a well-rounded
• 13:55
  test that nobody has an issue with where you are in that,
• 14:00
  where you're ranked in that. I think if you get 300 and 50th
• 14:03
  and quarterfinals, you're the 350th fittest man in the world.
• 14:06
  I have no problem saying that for, you know, for that year
• 14:09
  until and then obviously we get to semi finals and that's the
• 14:12
  way to get to the games and blah blah blah.
• 14:14
  I still miss the old ranking system.
• 14:18
  That was great. Remember that two years ago,
• 14:21
  Justin Berg's ranking system that ranked you?
• 14:23
  Yeah, Yeah, that's good stuff. Those are gone.
• 14:28
  Well, I'm glad that I'm. I think you're going to be
• 14:30
  happy, John, because the quarterfinals are back this
• 14:33
  year. Welcome back.
• 14:35
  Yeah, individuals and age group athletes will take on this
• 14:39
  online stage two weeks after the conclusion of the CrossFit Open,
• 14:44
  March 26th through the 30th. The top 25% of men and women
• 14:54
  worldwide will advance to the quarterfinals and the top 25% in
• 14:59
  each division of age group athletes, teens and masters will
• 15:03
  also advance to the quarterfinals.
• 15:06
  These quarterfinals are on the same weekend.
• 15:09
  So for those athletes who are like a Carolyn Prevo who can do
• 15:13
  both, she only has to pay once. So it's goes back to was it
• 15:17
  quarterfinals 2 years ago that was on the same weekend.
• 15:20
  So it's all going to be all be the same weekend.
• 15:24
  Is there an asterisk like top 20% or like 200 or whatever?
• 15:30
  At quarterfinals I did not see that I'm there probably is some
• 15:34
  type of like minimum of 200, but I don't think they had the had
• 15:38
  that in the the original article.
• 15:40
  So basically we're going back to the top 25% advance to
• 15:45
  quarterfinals out of the open. So John, you'll be upset they
• 15:50
  don't 25% advance because you were upset in 2024 about that?
• 15:55
  Yeah, I think it's too big of a number.
• 15:57
  I think top 10% gives people something to strive for.
• 16:01
  Top 25%, if you can do all the movements, you kind of make it.
• 16:07
  I've reversed, I would say, I would say 75% cannot make it,
• 16:11
  but. I, I've reversed, I, I've
• 16:16
  reversed my take on this. The open, though, I wish the
• 16:20
  programming was a bit harder in the open, You know, whether
• 16:24
  that's escalating in, in complexity workouts or whatever
• 16:28
  you want to say. I wish that they were a little
• 16:30
  bit more difficult. They really, or we got rid of
• 16:32
  the scale division. Like people just had to do the
• 16:34
  open as it's written. I think that would be a fair
• 16:37
  compromise. But I think the top 25% really
• 16:41
  captures everybody who's trying to like actually do it at a
• 16:45
  better level. And I'm not even saying an elite
• 16:47
  level, but they want to dabble in that, right?
• 16:50
  I think everybody in the top 25% like at least trains five days a
• 16:55
  week and they have like a a large amount of the skills.
• 16:59
  They might be weak at some stuff, like they might not be
• 17:01
  able to do unbroken sets of, you know, 10 ring muscle UPS or
• 17:05
  whatever, but they can do them even if it's just.
• 17:07
  Too, I just. I don't, I don't think you, I
• 17:09
  don't think that's the case. I think if you're 76 percentile,
• 17:12
  you make the quarterfinals without being able to do a bar
• 17:16
  muscle up and then you get hit with the ring muscle up, back
• 17:21
  squat, handstand walk workout that we did.
• 17:23
  Tyler, like you have it, it goes you did it.
• 17:27
  I did it wrong, but you know, we, but we, well, we did it.
• 17:30
  You know what I mean? Like it goes from you can't do a
• 17:34
  bar muscle. Now don't get me wrong, you got
• 17:36
  to be really aerobically fit to be that person, but you could,
• 17:40
  right? You can't do a bar muscle, up to
• 17:44
  30 ring muscle UPS, 30 back squats of 275, and 150 feet of
• 17:50
  handstand walking. Like that's the jump and I don't
• 17:53
  think that is inappropriate. Yeah.
• 17:56
  I mean, I, I made, I made the age group quarterfinals 2 years
• 17:59
  ago and that was but that, but those were the, that was the two
• 18:07
  workouts that were like in my wheelhouse, right?
• 18:09
  Sure. Sure.
• 18:10
  It was the burpees and the dumbbell snatch and the rowing.
• 18:14
  And then it was the rowing, rowing deadlifts and double
• 18:17
  unders, right? And I'm good at the rower.
• 18:20
  I'm good at double unders deadlifts.
• 18:21
  I was able to get through it because it wasn't heavy enough.
• 18:23
  If it was 225, probably don't make it as far.
• 18:27
  And then I just did trash on the wall walk workout and I slid
• 18:32
  back, but it still made it into my age group.
• 18:34
  So yeah, to Tyler's point, I don't think you you can have
• 18:38
  significant holes as long as you're still good at two of the
• 18:41
  workouts that come out. Yeah, I mean, it's fair enough.
• 18:45
  I guess I'm just speaking to like a it captures anybody who
• 18:49
  would want to go to another level.
• 18:51
  I maybe it could be a little lower, 20 or 15 percent. 10% was
• 18:56
  pretty tough. Like you have to train training.
• 18:59
  That's what I'm saying. You earn it.
• 19:01
  Yeah, if you, if you go to court like if it's when it's 10%, you
• 19:05
  are pretty fit. Yeah.
• 19:07
  Like no matter where you go, you know you're not a games athlete,
• 19:11
  but you are pretty fit. Right.
• 19:14
  And that's the shitty thing. Like I wish everybody who made
• 19:17
  the top 25% would actually sign up because then you'd be ranked
• 19:21
  again and like you would know your real percentage of how fit
• 19:25
  you were. But it's like I can't ever say
• 19:27
  I'm top 10% because I might be top 10% in the quarterfinals,
• 19:31
  but like that. But even even 10, the top 10%,
• 19:36
  only half end up doing doing it right.
• 19:39
  So like, you're going to be like, Oh well.
• 19:41
  And but a lot of people that don't do it are the ones who
• 19:44
  can't do all the things, right. My point is there, there are I
• 19:50
  would say more than half that make it through quarterfinals
• 19:54
  that can't do. Two of the five workouts in
• 19:58
  quarterfinals they like, they can't do.
• 20:01
  I would, yeah. I don't think I could have done
• 20:02
  the quarterfinal workouts. And.
• 20:05
  What is 2 years ago you? Know what I mean?
• 20:07
  You put 25% there for money. In my opinion, you put it there
• 20:12
  for money. I think the appropriate line is
• 20:15
  10% even if even with just the aerobic capacity testing at the
• 20:20
  open does now. But if you treat it like it,
• 20:22
  like the old Open was and say like for me, right, I qualified
• 20:27
  near the bottom of that court of that quartile now, it gives me a
• 20:32
  realistic look of what I'm capable of, just like the Open
• 20:36
  did back in 2014 when you just couldn't do something right.
• 20:40
  Like that's, that's that's. And so like, if you look at it
• 20:43
  that way, like I know a lot of people end up not doing it, not
• 20:47
  paying the extra money to do the do it and then just get smacked
• 20:50
  in the face. But part of it's because you get
• 20:52
  all the workouts at once and you see what they are.
• 20:54
  And yeah, you're like, I can't do two of those, so I screw it
• 20:57
  versus if you just do it, treat it like the open used to be and
• 21:02
  know that you're not going to do well on two of them.
• 21:03
  Well, let's just see how it pans out.
• 21:05
  I'll try right then. Maybe that's that's how people
• 21:09
  should kind of think about it in their.
• 21:11
  I think if everybody had that mindset though, then it would be
• 21:13
  they would be fantastic If everybody had that mindset spin
• 21:16
  then absolutely got no problem with it.
• 21:19
  You do quarterfinals basically if you just if you want, if this
• 21:23
  is important to you, right, like the open, you make your old, you
• 21:28
  know, a lot of gyms just make their old gym do it.
• 21:29
  But if this is important to you, you probably make quarterfinals
• 21:33
  and then quarterfinals is your legit.
• 21:35
  This is how fit you are in the world.
• 21:37
  But I don't think a lot of people have that mindset.
• 21:40
  If everybody had that mindset and they they marketed it that
• 21:43
  way, it would be amazing. I'm so all for that plan.
• 21:48
  I don't think that that happens. I think people see two workouts
• 21:52
  they can't do. They see weights that they can't
• 21:54
  snatch on the second round, and then they're like, why would I
• 21:58
  give them $50? And I think that's like that's a
• 22:01
  marketing issue. I don't, I don't know how they
• 22:03
  solve this, but it's like I think they, they should kind of
• 22:07
  like they used to do where they wanted to push everybody to do
• 22:09
  the open. Like you want to push everybody
• 22:11
  who's doing who can do quarterfinals to do
• 22:14
  quarterfinals. I mean, like when I saw that it
• 22:16
  was back, dude, I've been so checked out of training, like
• 22:19
  especially with a son being born and all that stuff.
• 22:21
  And like our schedule is a fucking mess all the time.
• 22:24
  My trainings gone so far down and I was basically like, just
• 22:28
  do like basically just check the box, try to get better at the
• 22:31
  stuff you want to get better at, but don't stress.
• 22:34
  And I see quarterfinals is released and I'm like, I wasn't
• 22:38
  joking with that post. I was like, I, I have to make
• 22:41
  top 10% again, Like I have to. And it, it was like a huge win
• 22:46
  to my sails of like, I want to do that.
• 22:48
  And it's like it's totally asinine for me to want to do it,
• 22:51
  but I don't care. Like I, I, I.
• 22:53
  Still want to? Try just with the amount of
• 22:57
  training that I used to do and now with the amount of training
• 23:00
  that I am doing, it'll be neat to see like where do I end up in
• 23:02
  quarterfinals training this much versus what I used to train?
• 23:07
  But I mean, I think people should get the same motivation
• 23:11
  out of it. Like if I'm get, if I'm feeling
• 23:13
  that way, I I don't see why other people, anybody who would
• 23:16
  make the top 25% wants to do yeah.
• 23:18
  It is 100% right. So anyway, I, I was stoked to
• 23:24
  see it was back and yeah, like the top 10% was like a huge
• 23:28
  thing because it was like a big accomplishment, like bad.
• 23:30
  It was a big badge. And this isn't this isn't the
• 23:34
  same badge anymore, but like. But I think to John's point, if
• 23:41
  you just make it into it and then do as well as you can in
• 23:46
  quarterfinals and see where you end up stacking up in in a rank
• 23:51
  like it gives you that extra opportunity.
• 23:53
  Yeah. Like you know, again, it it's a
• 23:57
  more rounded, well-rounded test, it's more difficult.
• 24:00
  It really separates those that you know then what the open
• 24:04
  tested for. You can see where you actually
• 24:07
  stack up, and I think I like it. And then you know what's going
• 24:12
  to happen is people, all of a sudden people are going to think
• 24:15
  I'm a lot fitter now and I'm not.
• 24:17
  We're just actually testing. I promise you I'm not.
• 24:21
  Me and Tyler share this and our you know it.
• 24:26
  It takes having a baby takes away some time from you.
• 24:29
  Believe it or not, but but. I had no idea like.
• 24:32
  All of a sudden people would be like, man, he's kind of getting
• 24:35
  after no, that can actually do all around fitness now.
• 24:38
  It's not just aerobic things every day.
• 24:41
  I'm still so trash at that. I'm just good at this other
• 24:44
  stuff. Crossfit's right, John did do a
• 24:47
  workout with Alexis Raptors. They were, they were on the
• 24:50
  same. Tyler did the workout with the
• 24:51
  Lexus. They were on the same floor.
• 24:53
  At the same, it worked out with her.
• 24:58
  Let's go back and look at that tape.
• 25:00
  Issues done probably like what, 6 minutes before me?
• 25:03
  I did a hyrox with Jason and down and I saw them in 5
• 25:06
  minutes. Bye, guys.
• 25:11
  Say, all right, this is just going to be me by myself for an
• 25:14
  hour. I just never forget.
• 25:16
  That's all I'm doing. Wall balls.
• 25:20
  Dude, Dallin's getting out of the cold tub and walks up and
• 25:23
  see and then I'm I'm on like 60 wall.
• 25:26
  I'm on 60. He's like, you good.
• 25:28
  I'm like, yeah, I'm fine. He looks so good.
• 25:33
  He goes, this was the this was the bad part for me too.
• 25:35
  I'm like, that's cool man. Like you're.
• 25:37
  Cool. That was 30 minutes ago.
• 25:39
  Thanks. Dude, Jason's, Jason's eating
• 25:41
  his next meal. Just, you know.
• 25:44
  Oh, it's great, yeah. So, so we'll do the
• 25:49
  quarterfinals, top 25% will advance to that.
• 25:53
  Now IPQES are no longer, it's back to semifinals.
• 25:57
  We're just going to call the semifinals the top 2000 men and
• 26:02
  women from quarterfinals. We'll then have the opportunity
• 26:06
  to compete at semifinals or the online semifinals.
• 26:11
  We have no idea how that will work when it comes to the in
• 26:14
  person ones, but you'll at least when it comes to the online
• 26:19
  semifinals, which last year was the in affiliate semifinals, Top
• 26:22
  2000 will be able to throw their hat in the ring.
• 26:25
  We do not know the list of semifinals, the dates, or the
• 26:30
  number of qualifying spots from each of those semifinals.
• 26:34
  We do know the semifinals will be hosted in April, May and
• 26:39
  partial the early part of June. Potentially so.
• 26:44
  Going back to Knoxville, baby. That's I hope so.
• 26:46
  I hope so. Teams, teams will.
• 26:50
  If you competed as a team in the Open, just like this year, you
• 26:53
  will be able to compete in semi on the online semifinals.
• 26:56
  So that's the same, no, no cut off between the two.
• 27:00
  But this year teams are going to a select number of in person
• 27:05
  semifinals. So we could see some teams in
• 27:10
  Knoxville. So thanks for how that works.
• 27:13
  We'll get that information here shortly.
• 27:15
  That that can't be really overstated.
• 27:17
  I mean, I think it's easy to glance across, but like the fact
• 27:20
  that teams didn't get their way to the games by going to in
• 27:24
  person semifinals, but every in person semifinal this year had
• 27:29
  teams there. It was such a.
• 27:30
  Waste of time. Yeah, it was, it was, it was an
• 27:33
  Uber waste. It, it really fucking
• 27:36
  handicapped the semifinals. Yeah, waste of personal.
• 27:40
  Qualifying events. Yeah, sorry.
• 27:46
  The no, I'm with it, man, No. It's been corrected me.
• 27:50
  Yeah, In personal qualifying events, age groups, the top 400
• 27:54
  in the 35 to 54 year old divisions, in the top 300 from
• 27:58
  the teenage and the 55 plus Masters divisions will advance
• 28:01
  to the semifinal stage. It's from quarterfinals.
• 28:04
  From quarterfinals, the top 400 slash 300 go to semifinals.
• 28:09
  Yeah. Is it, do they have an age group
• 28:12
  quarterfinals or is it the same quarterfinals, same?
• 28:15
  Quarterfinals, it's the same quarterfinals that's that's,
• 28:19
  it's the same as two years ago where you could do basically
• 28:21
  they're just gonna have all everybody do all the same stuff
• 28:24
  at the same time. Dude, why did we ever get rid of
• 28:27
  this? I was gonna ask at the.
• 28:29
  I was gonna ask at the very end of that, but we can start now.
• 28:32
  Like why? Yeah.
• 28:34
  Like this? Feels so much better.
• 28:37
  It was, it was a fun experiment. Let's just do 3 stages and it's
• 28:40
  like, no, let's do 4. How about not?
• 28:44
  Tyler, I know we're going to go, I know we're going to go head to
• 28:47
  head at crash. Do you want to do a Tyler versus
• 28:53
  Tyler versus JY for quarterfinals?
• 28:56
  Oh yeah, 100. Percent I I mean, I think we,
• 28:58
  but I know we kind of like half heartedly do these things.
• 29:01
  I think we should like, be serious about it.
• 29:03
  Yeah, I mean, I'm gonna be serious as I can training.
• 29:06
  For, for quarterfinals, not, not, not serious training wise,
• 29:09
  but like like, hey, no, we're doing this, we're posting this,
• 29:12
  we're doing the whole thing. I feel like we do like 3 or 4
• 29:15
  and then we just kind of Peter out a little bit sometimes and
• 29:18
  that'd be a. Good one to like.
• 29:19
  No, I I want to keep score. I want there to be like
• 29:22
  something on the line. I want, you know what I mean?
• 29:24
  Like, like, it's, it's a real deal.
• 29:27
  If we could meet up somewhere and like say we want to prove in
• 29:31
  or something or. All it's the it's the same
• 29:33
  weekend. Yeah, dude, it would be.
• 29:34
  It would be. It would be.
• 29:35
  Yeah. I've proven it'd be hard for me
• 29:38
  to get out to Tennessee, but I know Spin could film it like,
• 29:41
  like we could film it really good, you know what I mean?
• 29:44
  That's I think, I think, yeah, as soon as I saw it, I was like
• 29:46
  100% like me and John are going to do this because we know we're
• 29:49
  both going to do it anyway. Right, that'd be a good one.
• 29:52
  And we're both going to be excited about it regardless if
• 29:56
  we're going to be good or not, you know?
• 30:00
  Pool boy wants to jump in there. You cannot.
• 30:06
  Anybody else? Yeah, this is.
• 30:07
  No, no, dude, this is, I would love to make this to like really
• 30:13
  hype it up and make it a modern day Roe versus boss.
• 30:18
  Roe versus Boss was so fun, but they did it every year and they
• 30:22
  were very consistent with it and they hyped it up every year.
• 30:26
  You know, like I want, I want it like, you know, the loser has to
• 30:29
  do something crazy and everybody knows.
• 30:32
  Like a pink mullet. Oh, I don't know about that.
• 30:35
  I don't want to do anything without.
• 30:36
  Rock a pink mullet. I'll do painful things.
• 30:41
  I don't want to do a or hey, how about this?
• 30:44
  Like if I lose, I have to shake my head or like like I would do
• 30:47
  that and. Tyler has to grow his hair out.
• 30:49
  And Tyler has to grow his hair out.
• 30:53
  That that's a fun one. That that, that is fun.
• 30:55
  You can't tell me that's not fun.
• 30:57
  God, I think it'd be it would look rough for a while.
• 31:00
  You you have to grow your hair to to where it used to be that
• 31:04
  like dude. Like the morning chalk up hair.
• 31:07
  Like two of his shoulders. Oh, no, no, no, no, no.
• 31:11
  It's like a three-year ordeal. Dude, hair touches your eyebrows
• 31:15
  or something like that. Like like we have a way of
• 31:17
  measuring it. Go go straight Harry Potter
• 31:19
  style. I was looking through the
• 31:21
  YouTube channel last night actually like looking at like
• 31:24
  when we first started and it's like just the different setups
• 31:28
  we had like we used to have. It is like two of us at top and
• 31:31
  then one of us in the middle. At the bottom, we've been all
• 31:35
  over the place. But yeah, my hair has been about
• 31:38
  18 different directions since we started the show.
• 31:40
  He said he can go against po Boy and then they could be the warm
• 31:43
  up before us. They would have better scores.
• 31:46
  It's like. Yeah, it's a Betty Undercover
• 31:51
  Rowan Bozd had worse scores than the the Open.
• 31:54
  The elite this is like, this is like.
• 31:57
  Pre. Semis and then and like pre, pre
• 32:00
  semis, that's like that's like excellent, what are we doing
• 32:04
  here? Maybe we could have Mason and
• 32:07
  Trista try it out for us. Let's see age groups now.
• 32:13
  The semifinals will be online semifinals, but age groups will
• 32:17
  also be going to a select number of semifinal events.
• 32:22
  So we could possibly have age groups, teams, and elite
• 32:28
  individuals all at a single competition for semifinals.
• 32:33
  I'm so pumped. Like.
• 32:36
  Let. Us do that makes like syndicate
• 32:39
  way all that stuff like crazy. Oh man, it would.
• 32:44
  Be like there'd be stuff going on everywhere to try to fill
• 32:48
  that. I don't even know how it works.
• 32:49
  Like you'd almost have to utilize an outdoor.
• 32:52
  Outdoor space. Have we ever done that in the
• 32:54
  modern semi final era? I don't think we have right.
• 32:58
  Age groups have never gone to a semi final in person.
• 33:01
  Hell yes dude. And I know, Spin, I know you've
• 33:04
  texted me not to talk about this, but.
• 33:07
  Talk about it. Do it.
• 33:08
  Sort of Harkins back to the semi final or the regionals of old.
• 33:13
  Oh, never mind. Don't talk about.
• 33:15
  It no, it does. It gets it gets the community
• 33:17
  back there, it gets it gets all the locals back.
• 33:21
  It it gets more people back to those events.
• 33:24
  So I I dig it. Fucking do.
• 33:26
  That I mean they could, I mean, I guess they could probably
• 33:29
  still use the setup they had at Syndicate this past year where
• 33:33
  they had the 2nd floor in the back of the, you know, the other
• 33:36
  side of the the. It was vacant most of the time.
• 33:38
  Yeah, it was. It was just for community
• 33:40
  workouts and then I think teams did one event there like the
• 33:43
  lifting competition on Sunday morning.
• 33:45
  Other than that, I mean, you could always have non rig
• 33:51
  workouts over on that side, you know, and you could probably fit
• 33:56
  it in that way. So that would be interesting.
• 33:59
  I think it's it'll, I think it'll definitely add a lot of
• 34:03
  people in attendance to semifinals, just like the same
• 34:07
  reason I would say the games would get that if it was all
• 34:11
  together. Yeah, Where's Jason Grubb?
• 34:14
  He's West Coast. He's in Birmingham right now.
• 34:17
  Oh. Sweet.
• 34:18
  OK. So he would probably come up.
• 34:19
  Yeah. The adaptives, nothing really
• 34:23
  changes a whole lot for them. The top 20 from the Open and
• 34:26
  each division will go on to the online wheel lot adaptive
• 34:30
  semifinals. The online semifinal dates age
• 34:34
  groups May 7th through 11th. So they will not be after any of
• 34:43
  the I, I guess after the semifinals that are in person.
• 34:47
  Makes sense? Teams June 4th through 8th and
• 34:52
  the following weekend, individuals 11th through the
• 34:54
  15th and then the adapters. We don't know, but.
• 34:59
  How do you think this changes the online semifinals for the
• 35:02
  elites? It is after so it's almost their
• 35:06
  last chance qualifier. Yeah.
• 35:07
  So we, we, we're going to drop the last chance qualifier.
• 35:10
  We we don't, we don't know like the in person dates for the for
• 35:15
  the semi finals obviously. It's April, May, April, May,
• 35:18
  June. I imagine it's probably going to
• 35:20
  be mid to late April and I think May will probably be bananas.
• 35:26
  Sure, but like, like I said, Syndicate was one of the last
• 35:29
  ones, right? And it was June 1st.
• 35:31
  You know, the last weekend across over May and June, Yeah.
• 35:36
  Do they change the spot allocations to online?
• 35:40
  I think so. I think they're going to.
• 35:43
  I bet they do. I bet they do three at the
• 35:45
  semifinals. I mean, the big question I have
• 35:47
  just thinking about this now is does Mayhem have a semifinal
• 35:54
  this year? Just given where his head is at,
• 35:58
  whether he stays or goes, do they commit to him?
• 36:01
  Do what? Stay or do echo.
• 36:04
  Do they do they go back to a semi final standpoint where it's
• 36:09
  really just like it was back in the day of?
• 36:10
  I think it's just 7 total. East.
• 36:13
  West one Europe, more everywhere else.
• 36:16
  I hope they don't. Well, Dave talked about not
• 36:20
  dropping NCC like he was like those guys need to be around.
• 36:23
  He said it on one of those. Yeah, that was like the week
• 36:25
  after the show, after that competition.
• 36:28
  I would say. There's a lot that's going on.
• 36:30
  I don't I I don't know, I don't know if they'll, you know, if
• 36:34
  they have 7, they could do 3 each.
• 36:36
  Well, I don't think you'd really want to do 3 each because some
• 36:40
  of those don't don't don't need 3.
• 36:42
  But I mean, if you kept them all, I.
• 36:48
  Said keep them all. I mean, I think the online
• 36:51
  should be like five, yeah, 5 at Max.
• 36:57
  Like I don't, I don't want it to be like the rogue imitational
• 36:59
  where it's 2. Like I I think we saw the last
• 37:02
  chance qualifier, one spot available.
• 37:05
  You look at the workouts, you know you can't win it.
• 37:07
  You're you're not going to compete if you are.
• 37:10
  If it's two like Rogue, same, same thing.
• 37:12
  If it's five, I think you give yourself a shot.
• 37:15
  Sure. So how do you allocate 25 spots
• 37:17
  to 7 to 10? Regions.
• 37:21
  Regions, I think that's kind of how it needs to be Crossfat Rich
• 37:26
  said. Even leaving, he felt he'd keep
• 37:29
  some affiliate for his athletes. There's a difference.
• 37:33
  Yeah, that's not what he's talking about.
• 37:34
  There's a. Difference between keeping an
• 37:36
  affiliate and letting them do the workouts versus being like
• 37:40
  one of the flagship competitions to send people to the games.
• 37:44
  Dollar 99 from Julian. Thank you, Julian, Julian,
• 37:48
  Julian Eford, do you guys think this format will last a while?
• 37:52
  It will at least last 365 days. Mark it down.
• 37:59
  Prediction. If you go based on history.
• 38:02
  No, no, no, if we if you based off of history, next year it
• 38:07
  will be completely different and it'll be straight trash.
• 38:11
  Yeah, you got to keep. No, no.
• 38:13
  No. Yeah, Next year they're going to
• 38:14
  a season with points and multiple competitions where the
• 38:18
  points add up over the season, No.
• 38:20
  Points. No, the points don't matter.
• 38:21
  Yeah, I I don't. That's just a rumor out there.
• 38:27
  And then the CrossFit Games, it says in July.
• 38:33
  Exact. They used to be announced later.
• 38:36
  Last week. Last week of July, but the last.
• 38:38
  Week in the July is like July 31st and August 1st 2nd.
• 38:42
  I got to imagine it's that. I cannot imagine it's earlier
• 38:45
  than that. Sure, Carson, CA.
• 38:49
  No, it's San Francisco, John. It's not in that freaking WNBA
• 38:53
  stadium. Why not?
• 38:55
  It's not, I think. That was all just a missed
• 38:59
  reaction. Convinced.
• 39:00
  I think Dave just enjoys women's basketball.
• 39:05
  That's a. That's a.
• 39:06
  It's a bold, bold. No, it's a good, good
• 39:08
  assessment, John. I guarantee you that's what that
• 39:11
  is just. What if they do both take a
• 39:15
  little trip? Carson And that's not the short
• 39:19
  drive. Yeah, yeah, right.
• 39:24
  I think that's like several hours.
• 39:25
  What if one of the events was you get a bike and then just you
• 39:30
  got to go there? Dodge crack heads.
• 39:34
  Just a ride several 100 miles down the.
• 39:36
  Yeah, it's the first. It's the first event.
• 39:40
  Let's see, Daniel. Daniel Arson Aronson 499.
• 39:44
  Thank you, Daniel. I barely ever make lives.
• 39:46
  Make sure to mention how I in Grant I, how I Grant Hooper in
• 39:53
  today's Hillary Fit. Workout I want to say that how I
• 39:55
  beat. Grant Hooper in Hit Today's
• 39:57
  Hillary Fit Workout. Did you also have a stroke
• 39:58
  during this workout? Maybe so.
• 40:01
  At least he won. He, he put that in the he's at
• 40:04
  the gym right now trying to type that.
• 40:07
  Oh, there it is. Beat beat Grant.
• 40:09
  There it is. That's what that's what it is.
• 40:11
  He he is trying to do this like he's sweating so hard over a box
• 40:15
  right now trying to do this. Just star that Willie.
• 40:17
  If we pull another comment up, make sure we pull that one back
• 40:20
  up every time. Beat Grant.
• 40:22
  Beat Grant. The Savant Savant podcast.
• 40:24
  I'm here 'cause I heard that John doesn't think Bryson is
• 40:27
  semifinals material. I don't think I ever said that.
• 40:30
  I think. I think that's exactly what you
• 40:32
  said. I think I said Bryson wasn't a
• 40:34
  leap. I wouldn't categorize him as a
• 40:36
  leap. I heard Bryson's trash.
• 40:38
  He's not a semifinals. Look, dense updates.
• 40:41
  I'm here because I heard John said Bryson doesn't say finals.
• 40:44
  Material. We can we can rewind the tapes.
• 40:46
  Y'all of y'all want to make something out of nothing?
• 40:48
  Then you can't. That's tough to do.
• 40:54
  Not sure we can do that. So I think we're going to leave
• 40:56
  it at that. As for the field size, men and
• 41:01
  women 30 you. Know what, you know what?
• 41:03
  I, I, let's, let's set up a boxing thing like let's actually
• 41:07
  do that, 'cause I'm, I'm super game.
• 41:09
  Whoever wants it, whoever wants it, let's just do it.
• 41:12
  No weight classes. I'm fine.
• 41:13
  We'll both train for it and see what happens.
• 41:15
  I think you don't want this. You got the reach on Bryson for
• 41:19
  sure, but he's got that like slight crackhead track white
• 41:23
  trash energy. Like you might hit him 16 times
• 41:26
  in the face and he'll just look at you.
• 41:27
  Then we'll go bare knuckle. I'll do whatever you.
• 41:31
  Want that helps. You, I'll do Tyler, I'll do
• 41:33
  whatever y'all want to do, whatever y'all want to do.
• 41:35
  We can go UFC, we can go boxing and we'll just see what happens.
• 41:39
  I'm not even saying against Bryson, against who?
• 41:42
  Whoever is trying to make stuff happen right now, Griffin
• 41:45
  brothers, any day, any freaking day, 'cause I don't think y'all
• 41:53
  want that cause fitness is all like it's a it's not all about
• 41:57
  just. Where's Welburn when you need
• 41:58
  them? Where's Welburn?
• 42:01
  John well would would have been on.
• 42:03
  Welburn Not anybody who wants to fight me, Anybody who just.
• 42:07
  Said. Anybody, anybody who is trying
• 42:09
  to start stuff right now, 'cause I know the people, let's go.
• 42:15
  Got no problems. Leslie needs to get in here and
• 42:17
  calm John down. You lost that right when I
• 42:21
  turned 18. As for the games, same 30 men,
• 42:28
  30 women, 20 teams. Adapters will see 10 from each
• 42:31
  division and then the age groups.
• 42:34
  I think those are getting cut down. 20 in the teenage, 30 for
• 42:39
  the top, the youngest masters and then 20.
• 42:41
  If you wish to see Trista Smith Mason, you're going to cut it
• 42:44
  out right now. This, this is good.
• 42:48
  Like the only age groups that I won't say, the only age groups
• 42:51
  that I will say the only age groups that matter.
• 42:54
  The only age groups that matter get the 30.
• 42:56
  I'm OK with this. It does suck a little bit for
• 42:58
  the teens, but I don't know what their sign ups have been like.
• 43:03
  They're usually on the lighter side, I think.
• 43:05
  And I mean, I think you look at the mat, the age group games
• 43:09
  this year, I my guess is you probably get kind of bored if
• 43:12
  you look at the bottom half of those who were there.
• 43:14
  So I think they had 40 this year, which is kind of crazy
• 43:17
  when the end elites had less so, right?
• 43:21
  So I think this these are appropriate numbers.
• 43:23
  Yeah, I think the reason why they're lower is just because
• 43:25
  the bottom 10 for the teams are just worlds from the top 10.
• 43:31
  Sure, right. And like, I know, I know it's
• 43:33
  off it like some of it's off of sign ups, but I also think it's
• 43:36
  just kind of off of ability because especially for the team
• 43:39
  divisions, it's I don't think it's lacking for as far as sign
• 43:43
  ups, but just your ability that it's a very wide.
• 43:47
  I mean, it was the same thing as when we had 60 in the semifinals
• 43:50
  a few years ago. Like that was ridiculous.
• 43:52
  Like. Right.
• 43:53
  Yeah. 5050 sixth was not even close.
• 43:56
  Right. What are we doing here?
• 43:58
  Waste I. Got the wiggles or something
• 44:02
  today. I'm standing.
• 44:09
  That that's, that's what we should clip right there.
• 44:12
  Just those 3 seconds, then no contest.
• 44:17
  No contest. Where we go from here?
• 44:22
  Dave Castro tomorrow night is meeting with the Tear Cup
• 44:24
  athletes to talk, you know, what they liked about this season,
• 44:28
  what they didn't like. A little too late for that, what
• 44:31
  their thoughts are. Answer any questions about the
• 44:33
  upcoming 2026 CrossFit game season.
• 44:36
  We'll see if we get any feedback out of coming out of that.
• 44:40
  But we're kind of going back to what it was two years ago with a
• 44:45
  little bit modification. But all that leads me to think
• 44:50
  and and start wondering how does this impact the World Fitness
• 44:56
  project? Hey, before I know I know we're
• 44:59
  going to get in detail. Can you guys answer this please?
• 45:04
  With numbers. Do you do rounds and then reps
• 45:09
  of whatever the last round you were on?
• 45:10
  Oh, is this like an argument between you and summer?
• 45:13
  No, I think she's in. I think she just did the workout
• 45:17
  and is confused right now. I I would say like it depends to
• 45:22
  me on the workout, like if it's. Let me tell you.
• 45:25
  Let me tell you the word. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 45:27
  So 10/10/12 minute AMRAP OK it goes up every 33691215 OK and
• 45:38
  then the the reps are snatched with £95.65 for the girls
• 45:44
  handstand push ups and then calorie ski.
• 45:48
  And the way I scored it is if you completed the round of 15,
• 45:54
  it would be and then you got some snatches into the round of
• 45:57
  18, right? You said 15 plus however many
• 46:01
  snatches you did in the snatch if you.
• 46:04
  Reps Total. Reps I would do it.
• 46:06
  In that case, I would do what John did.
• 46:09
  So I didn't want to sit there and go 3 + 3 plus three, 6 + 6 +
• 46:12
  6, correct? Because people are going to mess
• 46:14
  up, correct? If it's ten, if it's 10/10/10
• 46:18
  each, like just over and over and over again.
• 46:20
  You can do the math and figure it out, and I would do that.
• 46:23
  Now, if you're scoring on a scorecard and it's in the open,
• 46:26
  it'd be total reps. If you're just doing this as
• 46:30
  training, it's just much more simple.
• 46:32
  Like on a scoreboard, it's much more simpler that.
• 46:35
  Way to me you only do rounds like if I'm like 10 plus.
• 46:39
  I'm saying like I only like doing that with workouts that
• 46:43
  are all the same reps. That's that's what I said.
• 46:48
  But like that. That way it's easier to eat,
• 46:51
  easier to add. Yeah, you just figure out your
• 46:53
  last round. It would take you.
• 46:56
  It would take you a with a. You'd need a calculator, Tyler
• 46:59
  to figure out how many total reps you just did in John's
• 47:01
  example. And like if you're taking scores
• 47:03
  from a class and you're like, what'd you get, what'd you get,
• 47:05
  what'd you get? It's very easy.
• 47:07
  I was 12 rounds in the round it I was 12 reps in the round at
• 47:10
  1815 + 12 I was. Does that make sense?
• 47:16
  Arnison couldn't even type text us and say that he beat Grant
• 47:19
  without making it look like he had a stroke.
• 47:21
  Like do you imagine him trying to add up his score?
• 47:24
  No. The context of it being in a
• 47:26
  class is different if you're writing it on the board.
• 47:28
  I don't want to know like 382 reps No, don't tell me.
• 47:31
  That exactly. Yeah, I want to know what round
• 47:34
  were you in, You know, which round did you finish?
• 47:37
  How many rounds do I have to finish?
• 47:38
  Yeah, Yeah. That's that's a little bit
• 47:39
  different of a context there. You go, Angela Cole subscribed.
• 47:44
  There we go. We're making up those six or
• 47:46
  seven lost people. So Will Morad did a little show
• 47:55
  today on his own. He shook his head and laughed at
• 48:01
  the notion that there was any exclusivity.
• 48:05
  Yeah. He laughed.
• 48:09
  He laughed from the throne of the Gillette, Hawaii house.
• 48:16
  And then hours later, CrossFit dumps this out.
• 48:19
  Basically, we're going to do quarterfinals most likely on the
• 48:24
  exact same weekend as your first tour stop in Spain.
• 48:29
  What? What?
• 48:34
  Who's? Seen it coming and then the
• 48:38
  second tour stop. The second tour stop is supposed
• 48:40
  to be in June. Right before the games.
• 48:46
  We. Are we already covered, June?
• 48:48
  Semifinals, yeah. The the semifinals go through
• 48:52
  June. The online semifinals are June
• 48:54
  11th through 15th. So if the games are really in
• 49:00
  July, let's say it's the weekend, not covering August,
• 49:03
  but it's what is that the 24th through the 26th or something
• 49:07
  like that? Do you try to do the online
• 49:15
  semifinals if you've not qualified, maybe then the
• 49:18
  following weekend go do World Fitness Project and then four
• 49:22
  weeks later you do the games. We already saw how it worked out
• 49:27
  doing the games and then three weeks later trying to do World
• 49:29
  Fitness Project. It didn't work out too hot.
• 49:33
  What is going to happen with all of this?
• 49:36
  Dude, Dallin's take on this, like, did you watch Peter's
• 49:39
  show? Yeah.
• 49:41
  Oh yeah. With Dallin, like, and he kind
• 49:43
  of already hinted on about it on the boys Interrupt, interrupt,
• 49:47
  boys, interruption. Mr. I don't.
• 49:51
  Think. I think interrupted.
• 49:55
  Mr. Adjust my training. I think we should leave him
• 49:59
  alone. No, I'm burying him in this.
• 50:03
  I, I feel like he feels buried. I, I, I think it's, I think he's
• 50:08
  been. He's not mad, he's just annoyed,
• 50:10
  dude, he's just annoyed. I just say I feel like he's
• 50:13
  taking it on the chin and like, and like he's, you know.
• 50:19
  I let go. I think he agrees that we were
• 50:21
  right and. I want to hear that All you have
• 50:25
  to say is maybe Tyler was. Right.
• 50:27
  This was tough. Yeah, Yeah.
• 50:29
  It's all right. No, I don't want to hear.
• 50:31
  This was tough. I don't want to hear Tyler.
• 50:33
  Tyler was right. I mean, I think spin was more
• 50:36
  right than you were right. No, I was right it.
• 50:41
  Has to start with, Tyler was right.
• 50:42
  I don't go from there. I don't know if he'll say that,
• 50:45
  but I just. But OK, that's fair.
• 50:47
  That's fair. If you want to, if you want to
• 50:49
  bury him until he says that. He doesn't know your job, Tyler.
• 50:52
  Keep. Going, he doesn't.
• 50:55
  I just I, I, I, I appreciate Dallin's outlook from an athlete
• 51:01
  perspective. I divorced the two things I I
• 51:04
  totally appreciate his his honesty about.
• 51:09
  Not every athlete's like that, not every athlete's like that.
• 51:12
  And I and I, I want to give that, you know, I want to give
• 51:16
  credit to that. Well, I, I also appreciate that
• 51:19
  he's like, yeah, this is really freaking hard.
• 51:22
  Me wanting to bury. I wouldn't bury him on this if I
• 51:24
  didn't like him or think we were cool.
• 51:26
  I think, I think he is like Kotler, right?
• 51:31
  Like from the way that they handle media, like they can be
• 51:33
  annoyed at what I post or what we say, but they still say, but
• 51:39
  they're still, they understand it.
• 51:42
  And like, yeah, you're going to get annoyed by it, right?
• 51:44
  But you're not going to just like shun them out or block us
• 51:47
  or they're going. To play, they're still going to
• 51:49
  play the game. Like Kotler, obviously he didn't
• 51:51
  like the CBD thing. I'm sure he didn't like the
• 51:54
  rumor about Tear Cup. But then when I reach out to him
• 51:57
  about him going to to HWPO, he messaged me right back.
• 52:00
  Like he gets it right. Like, you're not going to like
• 52:04
  everything that we write about or we talk about or what we say,
• 52:08
  but don't let that like create a wall where you don't talk to us
• 52:12
  at all ever again. Dallin, you don't have to give
• 52:15
  me fantastic bits, but you just you just line up these fantastic
• 52:19
  bits and I got to take them where I can get them.
• 52:21
  But it's it's really I'm paying homage to him.
• 52:24
  Thank you I. Think there should be a heat one
• 52:26
  that will down say Tyler was right before the date, no?
• 52:32
  I'm taking the no, I'm saying. No, if I put it in the app he
• 52:35
  definitely won't say it. No, he'll answer whichever way
• 52:38
  he's going to do to win. Yeah.
• 52:40
  I'll pick and then I answer no. I think he'll, I think.
• 52:43
  He'll nobody will pick yes except for him and they'd be
• 52:45
  like I apologize talking about it.
• 52:47
  Give me my. Points I was right I was right
• 52:49
  and then I do want y'all to see this right here OK, that's it
• 52:52
  and that's the heat one app but. So back to the whole Do they do
• 52:58
  it? I think people are feeling a
• 53:00
  little melted right now and I don't think they're going to
• 53:04
  feel much better going into it, especially like when tour event
• 53:07
  one is during the quarterfinals. That's the big one.
• 53:11
  That well, because it's going to be this, it's going to be the
• 53:13
  same thing as it was with the Open this year.
• 53:15
  You have to do quarterfinals to have to continue your season on
• 53:21
  right. So there's you could do an open
• 53:23
  workout and still do the tour stop quarter phones is 5
• 53:27
  workouts in a weekend like that's.
• 53:30
  Over 5, yeah. Like I, I mean, and you can, you
• 53:33
  could do that, but like, dude, that's, that's serious. 11
• 53:37
  workouts in five days, That's a lot.
• 53:39
  That's a lot. You basically go, OK, I've got a
• 53:41
  games in April and I've got a games in August like.
• 53:46
  Yeah, bad idea. I don't.
• 53:50
  I think a lot of them are kind of already wanting to drop it.
• 53:52
  This sort of seems like. You think so?
• 53:54
  I mean, they're getting paid. It's like you could want to drop
• 53:57
  something, You could want to drop something and then get paid
• 54:01
  and be like. Haley, Haley said.
• 54:03
  I don't need that money. You keep it.
• 54:05
  Yeah, Haley never started with it though.
• 54:07
  She didn't even. Get she signed it.
• 54:09
  She signed that contract and then said peace.
• 54:12
  No, thank you. But I'm just saying getting paid
• 54:16
  makes you do things that even if you don't want to do it, people
• 54:19
  do that for work. All all, all the all the time.
• 54:22
  It would only take you $50,000, right?
• 54:24
  My question is what is oh go go go?
• 54:26
  Ahead. Yeah, well, let's answer
• 54:27
  Tristan's here. Does World Fitness project
• 54:29
  backpedal and change the date of tour stop one, obviously they'd
• 54:34
  be adjusting it for the athletes so they can take every
• 54:36
  opportunity to compete. Still my question is.
• 54:39
  Athletes. That was a killer quote,
• 54:41
  Tristan. The right.
• 54:43
  So first of all, would they change it and then second of
• 54:47
  all, where? How would you even structure
• 54:49
  this to have at least they're gonna have 3 tour stops in a
• 54:54
  finals in a calendar year, and assuming the finals has to be
• 54:58
  December, where would you put 3 tour stops that does not create
• 55:03
  havoc on trying to do this? It's hard.
• 55:12
  I I think there are, I think there are a couple options.
• 55:14
  OK. Tyler, do you want to say
• 55:16
  something? I just want to hear like where
• 55:18
  would you put this? I know I got thoughts on this.
• 55:20
  I got thoughts but but if you got something to say it Tyler.
• 55:23
  Well, I was going to say. A little bit long winded.
• 55:26
  Oh. No way.
• 55:28
  Shocking September, October, November, December.
• 55:34
  What about Rogue? Fuck them, yeah.
• 55:39
  I don't think that's. Going to pay it out, buy it, buy
• 55:41
  it, you got the money. Really.
• 55:45
  So, John, do you want to give us a real answer?
• 55:47
  Go, go ahead, John. Yeah, yeah, Sorry to get in the
• 55:50
  way. I honestly think I, it's a
• 55:54
  genius move on Crossfit's part. If they wanted to crush them,
• 55:58
  honestly, they would have done this to begin with.
• 56:01
  They would have seen, oh, you want to put your dates here?
• 56:03
  Then we'll put our dates right here and we'll see who comes to
• 56:05
  what. Right?
• 56:06
  Like the very first one. But I mean, they're doing it
• 56:09
  now. So I think if if and this is on,
• 56:15
  this is on Jason, he's the one who makes these decisions for as
• 56:18
  far as where their tour stops are and what dates they are,
• 56:21
  right? So have you got to?
• 56:23
  I think so, I think. He's given the dates and he has
• 56:25
  to go find a venue that would work based off of those.
• 56:28
  OK. OK.
• 56:29
  So if they don't move dates, I think they are.
• 56:36
  I think there's, I think, yeah, I do.
• 56:37
  I think they're screwed. I think a lot of athletes won't
• 56:39
  do it. I think a lot of athletes won't.
• 56:41
  But there will be some that will.
• 56:43
  And then this will be the line drawn in the sand and then the
• 56:46
  exclusivity. Without saying it, you're doing
• 56:49
  it another snake kind of a way to do things.
• 56:53
  But and then so if you decide that route, you've decided this
• 56:57
  I'm we're drawing our line in the sand right now.
• 56:59
  The sale is going to happen. There's going to be fallout from
• 57:02
  that in some kind of form or fashion, especially with mayhem.
• 57:06
  You're going to try to strike it right now.
• 57:07
  This is going to be if we're going to make it or we're going
• 57:09
  to fail right now or you move the dates, you are ceding
• 57:16
  victory a little bit to CrossFit because Crossfit's basically big
• 57:21
  Dick in you, right, and you move the dates for the athletes, but
• 57:26
  it's for your survival. And then and then you know,
• 57:31
  everybody does everything still. The second one will be a little
• 57:35
  bit in the way with semi finals, but a lot of athletes be like,
• 57:38
  well, you should have made it here, like you have multiple
• 57:40
  opportunities still, right, So that's kind of you know, that's
• 57:44
  on them, right, But it's still there, still there.
• 57:46
  It's not directly in the way, it's in the way, but it's not,
• 57:50
  it's not like quarterfinals where it's like impossible.
• 57:53
  And then I honestly think if that would be the best decision
• 57:58
  to do, but. Where would you move?
• 58:00
  It if you're them, I don't know spin that's on them, but I don't
• 58:03
  think you can have it on the same date as quarterfinals.
• 58:06
  Like I think that's their best way to survive if they choose to
• 58:11
  be hard headed. The weekend between the Open and
• 58:14
  the quarterfinals. Yeah, but you know, it's better
• 58:17
  than on quarterfinals I. Mean they only have to be the
• 58:19
  top 2000 I guess. But but my guess.
• 58:23
  But. But I, I think, I think we
• 58:27
  haven't really talked about this in the in the previous part.
• 58:32
  Quarterfinals will probably be the way to qualify to
• 58:36
  semifinals, so if you want to get into Syndicate Crown or
• 58:41
  Taurian or wherever, you have to get through.
• 58:44
  You have to be in the top whatever in your region.
• 58:48
  It's not something you can just. Do top 30 in your region to
• 58:51
  qualify to syndicate, crown or wherever you want to go or can
• 58:55
  go. Now outside the box, and this is
• 58:58
  what I think would be genius on their part, but I don't think I
• 59:03
  don't think Will has the like. You're on the payroll, John,
• 59:07
  just. Ego tell us to.
• 59:08
  Do it. Is to make all of the workouts
• 59:11
  quarterfinal workouts. That would be the worst move
• 59:15
  ever. Why?
• 59:17
  They're all doing it. You would basically say that
• 59:21
  you're basically second fiddle to the games you have to.
• 59:25
  And you are? It's for the athletes spin.
• 59:28
  That like, if you want to say for the athlete, here's the
• 59:31
  thing, here's the spin, you are, you cede victory to CrossFit.
• 59:35
  You are, but you lost. The battle Do quarterfinals have
• 59:39
  to be in? Do quarterfinals have to be
• 59:40
  inside an affiliate? If there's video and a judge and
• 59:45
  then they would and then World Fitness project would have to
• 59:47
  this past season. What will the community do?
• 59:50
  What will the community do, John, if we don't take these
• 59:52
  athletes to the boxes? If it's top 25%, there's no way
• 59:55
  they're going to say you have to do it at an affiliate because
• 59:58
  people are going to be doing it in their garages like they're,
• 59:59
  they're, they want people to sign up.
• 1:00:01
  They're not going to have that regulation on it.
• 1:00:03
  They will have you have to have a a judge.
• 1:00:05
  And a video. You have to have a video, OK?
• 1:00:07
  Essentially. I, I side with John on this,
• 1:00:10
  this is actually would be they would have to eat, eat it so
• 1:00:14
  hard and have to stifle themselves so hard to do this.
• 1:00:18
  But I think it would be like a really smart move.
• 1:00:20
  It would be a really smart move because here's the thing that is
• 1:00:23
  for the athletes, yes, that is like that is like, listen, I
• 1:00:27
  know this is bad. We're do everything we can to
• 1:00:29
  make this good for you guys. And you make them do it at
• 1:00:33
  local. If they have a WFP affiliate
• 1:00:36
  nearby, you make them do it there and you pay them to go do
• 1:00:39
  it there. This.
• 1:00:39
  Is the competition. Yeah, he's saying, he's saying
• 1:00:43
  you're going to do it in different spots.
• 1:00:45
  You're going to do it at the affiliate that we choose for you
• 1:00:47
  to do it. Because you're instead of
• 1:00:49
  actually having like an arena, yeah, they've already done.
• 1:00:52
  They already paid for. They already put the money down
• 1:00:53
  on Mallorca The. The cycling center well, sucks
• 1:00:57
  to suck I. Guess.
• 1:00:57
  Well, I mean, well then you do it, then you do it in Mallorca.
• 1:01:00
  I mean the affiliates thing is like a nice touch, but it's not
• 1:01:02
  like a half two thing the you. Say they do quarterfinals, all
• 1:01:05
  of them in Mallorca, yeah. He's saying do it at.
• 1:01:08
  All of their events, all of them are the quarterfinal events and
• 1:01:12
  then in the order that they want to put them in.
• 1:01:15
  How hard would that be logistically to make sure you
• 1:01:17
  could do everything? It is the.
• 1:01:19
  Best way to ensure one, your survival two, you do seed to
• 1:01:27
  CrossFit, but Crossfit's making you right?
• 1:01:30
  And then three, the athletes you would have the respect of all of
• 1:01:35
  the athletes that do that contract.
• 1:01:36
  Here's the the athletes that one, everybody's going to sign
• 1:01:39
  up still you there's no line drawing the sand, right?
• 1:01:42
  You're they're all going to get money that like wow, like they
• 1:01:46
  would be on your side because you are trying to do everything
• 1:01:51
  you can while still trying to do what you want, right by still
• 1:01:55
  trying to be your thing and eventually outdo CrossFit and
• 1:01:59
  whatever you know you can't right now.
• 1:02:02
  So like, this is like taking a seat a step back to earn the
• 1:02:07
  respect of everybody you're trying to get on your side.
• 1:02:11
  And it's a bit of a slap in the face, 'cause like, there's no
• 1:02:14
  way CrossFit thinks they're going to do that.
• 1:02:16
  No. And like like Dave made it.
• 1:02:18
  I don't, I don't know who made this move.
• 1:02:20
  I don't know who made this move, but they made this move 100%
• 1:02:26
  like this is chess and they like this is right now we're in check
• 1:02:30
  and I'm saying if WFP were to do that and I agree spent it would
• 1:02:35
  be hard. But you got till April to figure
• 1:02:39
  it out like that. You have a long time to figure
• 1:02:43
  it out or February, whatever, whatever the date is like the
• 1:02:47
  logistics of it. I know you have the arena and
• 1:02:49
  all that but the like this would be a way to get out of check.
• 1:02:54
  I want, I want to hear from Jr. on this one.
• 1:02:57
  I know he'll watch it tomorrow morning.
• 1:02:59
  I want Jr. to be able to weigh in and say, all right, I don't
• 1:03:03
  know the workouts until Wednesday.
• 1:03:07
  Oh shit, from an organization? Standpoint And on Friday, I'm
• 1:03:10
  going to have to create a workout schedule plan for all of
• 1:03:16
  these. Well, you know, it's not going
• 1:03:18
  to be outside. You know, you don't have to
• 1:03:19
  worry about in that stuff. You just you need to you need
• 1:03:21
  equipment, you need ropes, but like it's it's in gym stuff, but
• 1:03:25
  you're not going to need special things.
• 1:03:26
  The. The think about this, John.
• 1:03:28
  Equipment. What do you?
• 1:03:29
  Need for equipment the rope climbs that are done at any semi
• 1:03:32
  final or any what they had there is no higher than 12 and a half
• 1:03:37
  13 feet. They don't have a 15 foot.
• 1:03:39
  They put a they put a 15 foot rope climb in their toast.
• 1:03:43
  You put, you put a, you put a white tape at the top.
• 1:03:46
  You say you have to touch the white tape.
• 1:03:47
  No, those rogue, the rogue semifinals.
• 1:03:50
  I know rigs are not tall enough. And then?
• 1:03:54
  You put a stick up above that and.
• 1:03:55
  Reach a ring. Yeah, yes.
• 1:03:57
  And you touch the you. Do what you have to do.
• 1:03:59
  You figure it out. Got to be a nightmare.
• 1:04:04
  Yeah, well, it moves. It moves to where?
• 1:04:07
  CrossFit waits to see if they do that because they're going to
• 1:04:11
  have to announce that they do it ahead.
• 1:04:12
  Of time. And then and then Dave goes
• 1:04:15
  cool, yeah, gotcha, dude. But like this is a move and I
• 1:04:20
  personally think that and and again, again, I don't know
• 1:04:25
  anything about anything. It would be WF PS way of being
• 1:04:30
  like you thought we were like you can't like we'll we'll play
• 1:04:33
  this game and I I know they're taking their back seat, but it's
• 1:04:36
  for the the end of it, right? You can't tell me they wouldn't
• 1:04:40
  get the respect out from everybody if they did that.
• 1:04:43
  And then even if it's terrible spin, even if like logistically
• 1:04:47
  it's a nightmare and it's really bad, right?
• 1:04:50
  But they're doing everything they can like it's still like
• 1:04:56
  you'd appreciate it. Now would they?
• 1:05:00
  I don't think they would. I don't, I put this they have
• 1:05:03
  too much pride. They have too much pride.
• 1:05:04
  I don't think they would. They have way too much pride
• 1:05:07
  because this is a will morad call.
• 1:05:09
  When has he ever done what we thought was the right thing to
• 1:05:11
  do? Rather when it's even if
• 1:05:14
  regardless if it's the right thing to do, if we thought, hey,
• 1:05:18
  this is the way, this is the best way probably if you're
• 1:05:21
  them, when has he ever done that?
• 1:05:23
  You know, and I, I regardless if it is right or not.
• 1:05:27
  In Spin's defense, it would be a bit of a sign that you're still
• 1:05:33
  playing our game. That's cute.
• 1:05:36
  Like you're, you're cute. You know what?
• 1:05:39
  I'm. Saying to be or you draw your
• 1:05:42
  line in the sand and and and or you move it.
• 1:05:45
  I get a sense like, you know, when you think about the age
• 1:05:49
  group semifinals, like I imagine that Taurine will probably have
• 1:05:55
  that if world fitness projects talking to Torian, like how much
• 1:05:58
  overlap are we going to see? Do you?
• 1:06:02
  Want to answer this. Tyler in the season. 50 five
• 1:06:05
  $50,000 We know. It takes US 50,000.
• 1:06:08
  Everybody knows that's. All it takes anybody out there
• 1:06:11
  you need to be a babysitter, $50,000.
• 1:06:14
  I wanted to say one thing about Torian real quick.
• 1:06:17
  Makes a lot more sense about how that fucking went, doesn't it?
• 1:06:23
  Can you? Think you think world fitness
• 1:06:25
  projects not they didn't take I would.
• 1:06:28
  Imagine Torian was presented with the dates that that from
• 1:06:33
  CrossFit and then Torian saw, oh shit, this is going to be right
• 1:06:38
  in line with where the tour event is.
• 1:06:41
  I'm going with CrossFit. We don't know.
• 1:06:44
  I would imagine that how that's how that went.
• 1:06:47
  We won't know until it it 100% it's going to line up with
• 1:06:50
  something. Right.
• 1:06:52
  Last year was the French throwdown.
• 1:06:54
  It wasn't a lot of lot of like drawback from it.
• 1:06:59
  What's the right word? I'm looking for spin fallout.
• 1:07:03
  There wasn't a lot of fallout from it was just French
• 1:07:05
  throwdown. There wasn't a ton of big names
• 1:07:06
  to the French Throwdown, but yeah.
• 1:07:08
  I think I think it was a bigger issue than some people that
• 1:07:11
  comment on my stuff would believe.
• 1:07:17
  BKG probably would be going to the games over brought us long.
• 1:07:22
  Yeah, I mean, if anything, it's just like a Dick thing to French
• 1:07:25
  Throwdown because it took, it took every eyes that would be on
• 1:07:28
  them. It took a lot of those away,
• 1:07:30
  right? Well, not only that, but yeah.
• 1:07:32
  But OK, so let's let's say John is right.
• 1:07:34
  They do they, they somehow pull off a miracle where they take
• 1:07:38
  four or five workouts, somehow weave it into their weekend last
• 1:07:42
  minute. It works.
• 1:07:44
  Whatever athletes who they can qualify, they can do their
• 1:07:47
  semifinals now. The Roger said in coffee pods
• 1:07:53
  and wads that June was the second tour stop.
• 1:08:00
  Do you do a second tour stop in the middle of Games training?
• 1:08:03
  That's four to five weeks ahead of the Games.
• 1:08:05
  You put, you just put like you're not trying.
• 1:08:11
  If oh oh so like yes. If you're going to go, you're
• 1:08:15
  just training. Take it as training.
• 1:08:17
  Yeah, it's training. When Dallin says adjust your
• 1:08:19
  training, he's saying I'm training here.
• 1:08:22
  I could be training at the gym or I could be training at this
• 1:08:25
  place right here. And I'm, I'm just, it's all I'm
• 1:08:28
  doing, OK. And that would be hey, hey,
• 1:08:31
  James, you're doing great. I'm training, but you're you're
• 1:08:35
  killing it. I'm training.
• 1:08:36
  Good job buddy. I think it's more like Pat.
• 1:08:38
  We'll see who beat 2 at the games this year, James, you
• 1:08:41
  know, yeah. Pat Yella.
• 1:08:44
  They're not fit enough to beat them anyway.
• 1:08:46
  This makes a lot more so pretty good.
• 1:08:50
  This makes a lot more sense about Pat coming back.
• 1:08:56
  I think it makes less sense. No, it makes more sense.
• 1:08:59
  Oh well, if they did the quarterfinals on if, if that
• 1:09:03
  happened, I could see Pat coming back.
• 1:09:06
  I don't think, I don't think WP will do the quarterfinals and I
• 1:09:09
  think Pat knew what was coming and he's he's coming back now, I
• 1:09:13
  don't think. Quarterfinals is what tipped Pat
• 1:09:15
  Bell. Not quarterfinals, just the the
• 1:09:17
  the overlap of WFP and the season.
• 1:09:20
  So this is. Hot dude he's he's team WFP
• 1:09:23
  though. When when everybody gets mad at
• 1:09:26
  me when all this started and saying I don't like the
• 1:09:29
  direction of this is going. 2026 is the exact same reason why.
• 1:09:35
  It's the exact reason why I don't like when this started up
• 1:09:39
  and the way that it started and how they've structured it
• 1:09:43
  because ultimately there was going to be a time, a time where
• 1:09:47
  athletes have to make a decision.
• 1:09:49
  A. Civil War.
• 1:09:50
  Yeah, if they don't change dates, Morat should be crucified
• 1:09:54
  for saying. They don't change.
• 1:09:56
  Dates Exclusivity. March.
• 1:09:59
  It's not real crucified but like online crucified.
• 1:10:01
  March and June are impossible for these guys to do this.
• 1:10:05
  Yes. Like to really actually compete
• 1:10:09
  like if they have the. Season.
• 1:10:12
  If they can figure out how to move it and not overlap, it's
• 1:10:18
  still going to be a huge burden on this.
• 1:10:24
  And you're going to have athletes who some go world
• 1:10:28
  fitness project, some go CrossFit Games, and now you're
• 1:10:32
  going to have two fields that don't feature the best athletes.
• 1:10:38
  Now, nobody wants that. Nobody you want to see, and I
• 1:10:43
  want to see him at the CrossFit Games.
• 1:10:45
  Some people want to see him at the World Fitness Project.
• 1:10:48
  In all cases, anybody that cares about watching and finding the
• 1:10:51
  fittest or who's the best at exercising want to see the best
• 1:10:56
  athletes in one spot fighting for that.
• 1:10:59
  You don't want to see half and half, half and half.
• 1:11:03
  You don't want to see five of the top ten in one place and
• 1:11:07
  five of the top ten in the other place.
• 1:11:09
  If you're yeah. If you're going.
• 1:11:11
  For that and it's going to and it and it hurts both now.
• 1:11:15
  I think World, I think CrossFit Games survives out of it.
• 1:11:21
  I'm not sure World Fitness Project does.
• 1:11:23
  No. Well, my follow up question to
• 1:11:26
  OK, so they, we have a, we've, we've presented a couple options
• 1:11:30
  that they can go with programmed quarterfinals, just go with it
• 1:11:34
  and say fuck it, the just go with it.
• 1:11:38
  How much do you have to pay the athletes now to compensate for
• 1:11:42
  that? Like John, your change.
• 1:11:45
  John John needs 50,000. John, you said it.
• 1:11:48
  You'll do anything. You'll do things you don't like
• 1:11:51
  for money. How much I'm just.
• 1:11:53
  Saying if I need 50, think how much they need a lot more.
• 1:11:59
  Danny Spiegel's more expensive than I am.
• 1:12:03
  Oh, that, that brings me up. So a lot of a lot of times
• 1:12:05
  sponsors care about the number of viewers.
• 1:12:10
  In a press release by the World Fitness Project, the World
• 1:12:13
  Fitness Project announced the tour stop to Mesa pulled in over
• 1:12:19
  8 or over 558,000 total views over the three day competition.
• 1:12:28
  I don't believe that. Me neither.
• 1:12:31
  But, well, let's go with it. That's fine.
• 1:12:33
  I have evidence. Do you have evidence for this
• 1:12:35
  man? No one has evidence.
• 1:12:37
  No, it's all on their back end. It's fine.
• 1:12:41
  I totally believe it. We sure they didn't mistake it
• 1:12:44
  for impressions? What I was confused.
• 1:12:47
  About that well, let me go to Let me go to CrossFit Games live

• 1:12:57
  Single days and scary times. There's no way 558,000 people
• 1:13:01
  were watching the world for. This project, the average
• 1:13:04
  viewing time was 22 minutes. For CrossFit Games.
• 1:13:07
  No, for the live stream of world fitness, How are.
• 1:13:12
  Views. Counted every time you click the
• 1:13:14
  play button. And there you go.
• 1:13:18
  So there were less than 558,000 people.
• 1:13:21
  If each person clicked on it three times, you're down to like
• 1:13:24
  100,000 people watching 100. 1000 views, yeah.
• 1:13:28
  If I'm a sponsor, where do I want the eyeballs?
• 1:13:31
  Do I want my athlete on? If you're a sponsor, do you know
• 1:13:34
  that though? It's on the press release,
• 1:13:37
  right? Here no that that this you
• 1:13:41
  think. You all think This is why they
• 1:13:43
  refused to go on YouTube? No, John, they're doing it for
• 1:13:50
  the language and they're just trying something out that has no
• 1:13:53
  incentive to it whatsoever. Doesn't work.
• 1:13:55
  They can move it. They close it to YouTube later
• 1:13:58
  right? They did.
• 1:13:59
  They did. How many total views were on
• 1:14:00
  that? 300 and six 306,000 total as of
• 1:14:04
  September 5th. I mean, that's, that's, that's
• 1:14:09
  more than I thought it would be. So they had. 252,000 live views
• 1:14:12
  on their platform watching it actually during the live like
• 1:14:16
  watching it live live. Which one do you divide by?
• 1:14:19
  Three at least. Yeah, YouTube.
• 1:14:22
  YouTube's going to be the most no matter what.
• 1:14:24
  People don't aren't going to go to your site to watch it.
• 1:14:27
  So if you want, if you, if you're a sponsor and you're
• 1:14:30
  going to know you're going to get eyeballs, if I'm Jason
• 1:14:32
  Hopper's sponsor, where do I want him to go?
• 1:14:37
  Somewhere that gets over 4 million views or somewhere that
• 1:14:40
  gets half a million? And as here's here's what I'm
• 1:14:49
  getting, I'm getting really here's what I'm tired of.
• 1:14:52
  Everybody's saying that the athletes have to have a large
• 1:14:55
  prize purse to survive. There are a lot of athletes who
• 1:15:01
  have never podiumed at the CrossFit Games who are making a
• 1:15:05
  lot of money. Kelsey Keel, there's a lot more
• 1:15:09
  than her, yeah. But I mean, she's a great
• 1:15:11
  example. She was rolling in it.
• 1:15:13
  Is there any men? Yes, yes.
• 1:15:17
  I'm I'm asking who are they? I know of men who are making
• 1:15:23
  that are in very, very nice houses as the sole owner, Gee.
• 1:15:28
  Saxon. Gee Gee.
• 1:15:30
  Saxon Gee, Gee's a great one. Right, like the sponsorships are
• 1:15:36
  carrying these athletes. There are athletes who have
• 1:15:40
  never made the podium, who have never made a a a paycheck from a
• 1:15:45
  from Saint on the podium more than worth more than $50,000,
• 1:15:50
  yet they are doing just fine. Yeah, Guy Danier cleaned 440 lbs
• 1:15:56
  and I promise you he's not going to get as much money.
• 1:15:58
  He he did from that then snatching three O 5 at the
• 1:16:01
  CrossFit game right? So like, there's a lot of money
• 1:16:04
  out there, and if you are going to forego sponsorship money for
• 1:16:08
  a guaranteed $100,000, I guarantee you're giving up a lot
• 1:16:14
  of money on the table. Guarantee it.
• 1:16:18
  OK, well what if they offer somebody like Chris Ibarra
• 1:16:22
  $100,000? Chris Ibarra could make
• 1:16:25
  $100,000. He chooses not to.
• 1:16:27
  Until he gets. I don't think so, man.
• 1:16:30
  Go look. So if you're, if you're not
• 1:16:32
  part, if you're not playing the social media game, it's your
• 1:16:37
  fault. I think that's.
• 1:16:39
  Easy look at Colton Merton. Colton Merton's had 40,000
• 1:16:42
  followers a year and a half ago. Look how he's changed in a year.
• 1:16:46
  In two years. I think we how he has losers and
• 1:16:49
  I. Think we helped Colton to an
• 1:16:50
  extent with that though. I'm not putting that on us.
• 1:16:53
  No, no, no, I said. To an extent, Our whole, the
• 1:16:57
  whole, the whole crew. You don't think we need to get
• 1:16:58
  behind anybody else that plays that game and it actually does
• 1:17:01
  one. 100% and puts. Out good content. 100%.
• 1:17:04
  Exactly. So somebody like Chris, you
• 1:17:06
  can't just say I post to Instagram three times every
• 1:17:09
  couple months. I don't know why I don't have
• 1:17:11
  sponsors. I'm not here.
• 1:17:13
  To I'm cold I'm cold Grishaver. I hate I'm cold grishaver.
• 1:17:17
  I post twice a year. Why don't I have sponsors?
• 1:17:19
  I get force first form. Cool.
• 1:17:22
  Like there are plenty of ways to to do well if you know what
• 1:17:27
  you're doing on social media and actually work that angle.
• 1:17:32
  Use the competition to to to your benefit.
• 1:17:36
  That's fair. I don't.
• 1:17:37
  I don't. Yeah, that's fair.
• 1:17:40
  It's the same thing in track. If you listen to people that
• 1:17:42
  that follow track within all the different Diamond League and all
• 1:17:45
  those other things that Grand Slam that don't pay their
• 1:17:47
  athletes, track has historically been a sponsored.
• 1:17:52
  You compete as a means to become sponsored.
• 1:17:56
  That's where you make your money.
• 1:17:58
  It's definitely being able to play the the social media game
• 1:18:03
  right. I I agree.
• 1:18:05
  You can't just go away and not do anything.
• 1:18:09
  I'm not great at it either, so I'm sympathetic to the people
• 1:18:12
  that that don't care. Yourself.
• 1:18:14
  I'm fantastic at it. I'm I wasn't speaking for you.
• 1:18:18
  I was speaking for me, yeah. Listen.
• 1:18:22
  Spin makes about 75% of my post. My page is Tyler's, yeah.
• 1:18:28
  It's. Basically, if you if you pull up
• 1:18:31
  my page, you wouldn't even know I had a family.
• 1:18:33
  There's so much spin stuff on on there.
• 1:18:36
  Here, David. David Gore, 499.
• 1:18:37
  Thank you, David. Chris Ibarra can't make good
• 1:18:39
  content. That's why he's wearing Flux.
• 1:18:43
  He had that one picture with him and Olivia and the sauna.
• 1:18:45
  That was pretty good. That was a good picture.
• 1:18:48
  Was he selling anything? Did she?
• 1:18:50
  Did she make it and then tag him and like he was selling?
• 1:18:54
  Rivers I I want to swing back to the metrics on their views, so I
• 1:18:59
  remember. So what percentage did it
• 1:19:01
  increase? Let's see.
• 1:19:06
  Oh, sorry, it was a 25% increase from Indianapolis.
• 1:19:10
  Weird because 500,000 is less than 800,000.
• 1:19:15
  That sounds like a 25% decrease. Weird.
• 1:19:19
  How does that work? How does that?
• 1:19:21
  Work I think is the I in the end close to the D and the E.
• 1:19:24
  Nope, they're on different sides of the keyboard.
• 1:19:35
  That, that should not have been that funny.
• 1:19:39
  You, you made it work. So yeah, yeah, I think people
• 1:19:43
  want to go where they're going to be viewed.
• 1:19:46
  And I think if you asked many of the athletes, those that are in
• 1:19:49
  the World Fitness Project specifically, who have pro
• 1:19:51
  cards, they make more money from sponsorships and their sponsors
• 1:19:56
  want them to go where there's gonna be more eyeballs.
• 1:19:59
  I OK, I agree completely. Good 'cause.
• 1:20:02
  It's true. Don't take, don't take.
• 1:20:04
  Well I I I'm not arguing at all. I do think there are athletes
• 1:20:08
  though that have a hard time with it, that the contract is
• 1:20:11
  way is worth more to them than that.
• 1:20:16
  But it would get down to people like that, like your Chris
• 1:20:19
  Ibarra, your Nick Matthews, your which I mean, I know.
• 1:20:22
  Nick actually probably did. No, no, I, I, I know he's got a
• 1:20:25
  hard time making the games. Like, like I'm saying, the
• 1:20:28
  people that have a hard time like making the games, like
• 1:20:30
  you're not going to make it every year.
• 1:20:32
  Those are the people Hannah Black like.
• 1:20:35
  Those are the people that will end up being your top people.
• 1:20:41
  Sure what she's Which brings me back to my point about what they
• 1:20:44
  should have done from the beginning is just have a
• 1:20:46
  competition where you give crazy buku's and money but you don't
• 1:20:50
  sign anyone and then everybody just flocks your league in the
• 1:20:52
  1st place instead of you just picking.
• 1:20:56
  Well, they want their, they want their system.
• 1:20:58
  They wanted three competitions since your last competition.
• 1:21:02
  They don't want to compete with CrossFit.
• 1:21:05
  I'm saying they want their system, so like, you can't do
• 1:21:08
  that without signing people. Yeah, so next year's going to be
• 1:21:13
  interesting. I imagine World Fitness Projects
• 1:21:15
  going to announce something soon.
• 1:21:16
  They keep teasing it, but they refuse to actually share it on a
• 1:21:19
  podcast. What are they teasing?
• 1:21:22
  Their season, yeah. I mean, Pedro's maybe they're
• 1:21:25
  waiting for CrossFit? Pedro asked.
• 1:21:26
  Jason. Pedro asked Rodger.
• 1:21:29
  Both deferred. Will's been asked on that
• 1:21:33
  Spanish podcast. He was asked on his own.
• 1:21:35
  And every time it's like more's coming out, we'll tell.
• 1:21:38
  I can't tell you right now. We got a plan and Roger's like
• 1:21:42
  we're still trying to finalize it.
• 1:21:45
  Things could change, so we'll we'll find out.
• 1:21:48
  But. Dude, I saw that clip of I think
• 1:21:52
  it was Seth who asked him like world, this world fitness
• 1:21:56
  projects, Instagram and he asked Will, is there any truth to the
• 1:22:01
  rumors of exclusivity or like that?
• 1:22:05
  All you got to say is no. And he goes, listen, it's all
• 1:22:10
  about the opportunity and we're not going to take away
• 1:22:12
  opportunity from anybody. We're you know, and I, I'm
• 1:22:15
  misquoting it hard, but it was continued it, it was like a, a
• 1:22:20
  22nd answer and none of that was yes or no.
• 1:22:25
  And like it, it didn't answer the question at all.
• 1:22:28
  And I feel like it was such an easy they've said no already.
• 1:22:32
  Well, he. Shook his head, though he shook
• 1:22:33
  his. Head but but dude, just say no,
• 1:22:39
  that's all you. Have to say.
• 1:22:42
  Well he he took a shot at Clydesdale doing that at the
• 1:22:44
  same also. Yeah, speaking, yeah.
• 1:22:48
  He said, he said watch the podcast.
• 1:22:50
  He said absolutely not before he said all this stuff.
• 1:22:52
  If your will, if you were the World Fitness Project, why would
• 1:22:55
  you not put that in the clip? No, you make your people sound
• 1:23:02
  bad. He looks good right now, don't
• 1:23:04
  he? It's a nice, nice house, looks
• 1:23:09
  great. I was kind of unhappy.
• 1:23:12
  I feel like he, I feel like he was attacking some other media,
• 1:23:18
  like, I don't know, maybe Jenny Denz, Clydesdale, maybe Buttery
• 1:23:24
  Bros, a bunch of bunch of people.
• 1:23:28
  I feel really bad for him. He was not very happy.
• 1:23:32
  Let's let's hear what he has to say about fake news.
• 1:23:35
  That was 2 for, you know, if I'm up sign pro and I missed two or
• 1:23:39
  one because I'm sick or something like that, I can still
• 1:23:42
  go to other events and earn some points and try to make sure that
• 1:23:46
  I'm in that top echelon of athletes that gets to go to the
• 1:23:48
  finals next. Year.
• 1:23:50
  Here we go. Very good.
• 1:23:54
  Yeah, I mean, if it's rolling just like as far as a lot of the
• 1:23:57
  false narratives that are put out there, you know, by media or
• 1:24:01
  whoever, I think it's important that people know that.
• 1:24:05
  Shame on you, Clydesdale, Shame on you.
• 1:24:08
  Like I said earlier, that tabloid media or whatever you
• 1:24:11
  want to call it, it is their. Definitely.
• 1:24:15
  That's definitely dense updates. Don't tabloid media.
• 1:24:18
  That's definitely dense job. To create false narratives.
• 1:24:22
  And it's, it's unfortunate because it's not just me, it's
• 1:24:27
  not just our team, it's not just the athletes that they're
• 1:24:29
  impacting, but it's, it's not their job to consider how it
• 1:24:35
  impacts the company. It's not their job to consider
• 1:24:38
  how to impact. How dare you wait what let.
• 1:24:43
  Them let them, let them talk. Let them cook, let them cook,
• 1:24:45
  let them cook. Athletes that they might be
• 1:24:47
  trashing, it's their job to just get click bait and it's our job
• 1:24:51
  as athletes, as business, as media for WFP to just continue
• 1:24:56
  to do our job. It doesn't mean it's easy.
• 1:24:58
  You know, it's hard when people are talking crap or if you have
• 1:25:01
  a bad weekend, you know some media is going to say, oh, this
• 1:25:04
  athlete's lost it. John, that's you.
• 1:25:09
  How? Dare you, Grand, And that'll go
• 1:25:12
  away there will. That's all it takes.
• 1:25:15
  Yeah, the amount of money you spend on things will just like,
• 1:25:19
  it'd be so easy to go away. I'm the I I think I'm the least
• 1:25:23
  hater. Of.
• 1:25:24
  All you you could have the World Fitness Mountain I right now,
• 1:25:28
  Yeah, 50,000. Dollars.
• 1:25:29
  I could, yeah. Cheap.
• 1:25:30
  If you ask me, it's too cheap. So it's a it's a steal.
• 1:25:34
  Yeah, that's unfortunate. They don't necessarily have to
• 1:25:36
  care about people's mental health or success as a business,
• 1:25:39
  but I think it's just important. The second you say mental
• 1:25:44
  health, I don't care. I don't care at all.
• 1:25:46
  Like, yeah, like just just ended it for me.
• 1:25:48
  I stop it. You want to be professional and
• 1:25:53
  you're going to talk about mental health?
• 1:25:57
  I did bad and he talked bad about me.
• 1:26:00
  How can you say we are professional if you can't take
• 1:26:04
  that? That is wild.
• 1:26:08
  I I like let's I I that. That might make me on your side
• 1:26:12
  spin I I I true. John's broken.
• 1:26:15
  I, I have the most hatred for them at this moment because of
• 1:26:20
  that, that that. Oh man, I I need stop letting
• 1:26:25
  him speak. You, you need to, you need to
• 1:26:29
  Jason needs to be the only one that talks about the world
• 1:26:32
  fitness project. Somehow he is the only one to
• 1:26:36
  make people see the side you guys want him to see.
• 1:26:39
  Everybody else makes it sound so much worse.
• 1:26:43
  I in my in my opinion, and I have to unbiased opinion, right?
• 1:26:47
  I truly, or the, oh it was, I'll say by the least, biased.
• 1:26:51
  Next time, next time you talk trash about something, I want
• 1:26:54
  you to think about their mental health first, John.
• 1:26:57
  I dude that struck such a nerd Jason Ansley is the only one
• 1:27:03
  that should be allowed to talk about the World Fitness project
• 1:27:05
  because the rest of you guys do it a disservice with answers
• 1:27:08
  about mental health. Now don't get me wrong.
• 1:27:12
  Listen, Spin hates the World Fitness Project.
• 1:27:15
  Spin hates Alex Kazan. He does.
• 1:27:18
  He does. He does.
• 1:27:20
  He does. I don't.
• 1:27:20
  I don't hate Alex. Kazan as much as some.
• 1:27:22
  People on her team? Not as many much as people on
• 1:27:25
  her team. To AT you don't like.
• 1:27:28
  That girl that had very little to do with Alex, that had
• 1:27:32
  nothing to. Do with that, I'm just talking
• 1:27:33
  about the history, Tyler. I I I like so.
• 1:27:37
  It had. It had nothing to do with her
• 1:27:38
  taking CBD either. She, she still has to be able to
• 1:27:43
  take that and keep competing regardless of what Spin says.
• 1:27:47
  She could not like Spin because he doesn't like her.
• 1:27:50
  They don't have to like each other at all.
• 1:27:53
  And I'll I that that is OK. You cannot say I'm a
• 1:27:58
  professional and then talk about mental health when somebody
• 1:28:02
  talks bad about you. What's a better mental health?
• 1:28:04
  You know what? You know what will First off, I,
• 1:28:11
  I want y'all to start talking bad about us.
• 1:28:13
  Like call us whatever you want to call us, tabloid media.
• 1:28:19
  You know, you can tell me I look like the freaking guy from the
• 1:28:22
  Goonies. Like, like you want to talk
• 1:28:24
  about mental health? We'll be it will make you
• 1:28:27
  mentally strong, not be freaking quaking when somebody talks bad
• 1:28:32
  about you. Oh my God, He said something
• 1:28:35
  mean to me. What are you doing?
• 1:28:38
  You're a grown man. They're grown people.
• 1:28:41
  They're grown women. If you're going to be a
• 1:28:44
  professional, you have to be able to take that.
• 1:28:47
  You have to. If you can't, then you're not a
• 1:28:51
  professional. You're just working out and
• 1:28:54
  you're good at it and people want to give you money.
• 1:28:56
  You are not a professional if mental health is something that
• 1:29:00
  is like you can't take it's that is insane.
• 1:29:04
  Now I like you want to talk about you want to talk about
• 1:29:06
  like I get I get I get like the 1617 year old girls that make
• 1:29:12
  the games and now and now now they have 100,000 followers and
• 1:29:16
  people in their DMS all the time.
• 1:29:18
  But it's not the media. That no, no, that's not the
• 1:29:20
  media. We we do not when they did not
• 1:29:23
  ask for that and then they get this influx of just so many
• 1:29:26
  people looking at you 100%. That's not what I'm talking
• 1:29:29
  about. Like that is a very unfortunate
• 1:29:33
  thing that happens that I think everybody needs to be caring,
• 1:29:38
  understanding and you need to nurture that and be like, it
• 1:29:41
  needs to be careful the way that is treated if you are grown and
• 1:29:48
  somebody in the media says something poorly about you.
• 1:29:52
  About your performance. You about your performance that
• 1:29:54
  you did it doesn't matter if you're hurt.
• 1:29:57
  It doesn't matter if you don't feel good and you're sick.
• 1:30:00
  If Alexis Alexis Raptis throws up every other event she can't
• 1:30:05
  help it. She's got it she has a great
• 1:30:08
  excuse. It doesn't mean we can't say you
• 1:30:10
  were bad and she has to take that and she does like on this
• 1:30:14
  on Alexis Raptis, but that is insane to make that excuse for.
• 1:30:18
  People, but you you gotta think about this, though, in in
• 1:30:20
  context the the injury example, when somebody doesn't do well
• 1:30:25
  and then they're like, well, they got they talked bad about
• 1:30:28
  me because I was I didn't do well.
• 1:30:29
  And then they know that they got hurt or they announced it after
• 1:30:32
  the fact. Will Morad was one of the most
• 1:30:36
  prime examples of that. I feel like he was hurt at every
• 1:30:40
  games, fighting some injuries. Yeah.
• 1:30:43
  And he's had a lot of stuff and he's went through a lot of
• 1:30:46
  stuff, sure, not just him, but his, his.
• 1:30:48
  His whole family, his wife and all that.
• 1:30:50
  Yeah, like, and that's all good. You have a great like, like you
• 1:30:57
  can say, yeah, This is why I did bad.
• 1:30:59
  Like they can say I did bad all they can say whatever they want.
• 1:31:02
  This is why. And that's what happened.
• 1:31:04
  We also follow it with those qualifiers.
• 1:31:07
  And then guess what? We're the Dick.
• 1:31:09
  We're the Dick. We're not but.
• 1:31:11
  No, I'm saying. No I'm saying if he goes This is
• 1:31:15
  why I did bad. They can say what they want to
• 1:31:18
  say but I did bad because of this like then I.
• 1:31:21
  Mean we're not. We're not in the wrong until we
• 1:31:22
  know that. But even then.
• 1:31:24
  So then when we are in the wrong, then we accept being in
• 1:31:27
  the wrong. Like we didn't.
• 1:31:28
  We never projected Bethany Flores to do well last year
• 1:31:31
  because of her back and then she comes out and takes 4th.
• 1:31:34
  Oh, oh, you're talking about. That right, Like Alexis Raptis,
• 1:31:38
  you know, we'd heard rumblings about it going into this games.
• 1:31:40
  Her back was covered in Kinesio tape and then she ends up
• 1:31:44
  withdrawing. We punches on those at the World
• 1:31:47
  Fitness Project. Yeah, you think?
• 1:31:49
  If I looked Austin Hatfield in the eyes and said, were you bad
• 1:31:52
  because your mental health, like kind of you take like a little
• 1:31:54
  bit of a graph at you, right? Like he'd be like, what are you
• 1:31:57
  doing? He said he'd say yeah, man, I'm
• 1:32:00
  pretty depressed, dude. Your mom and then you walk away.
• 1:32:05
  Your mom's depressed. I'm sorry to interrupt.
• 1:32:10
  That was So what? What's a good word to a
• 1:32:13
  triggering? I got triggered there.
• 1:32:16
  And if you and if some, you know, somebody wants to call me
• 1:32:18
  names because of it, that's OK. It's your right.
• 1:32:21
  Call me whatever you want to call me.
• 1:32:23
  I'm going to wake up the next day and do the same thing I did
• 1:32:25
  the other day. It's called having a job and
• 1:32:29
  being a professional. I I want to double back on what
• 1:32:33
  Jenny said about the rumors not hurting if they're not true.
• 1:32:38
  It's like Will thinks we just make up bullshit.
• 1:32:41
  It's like, it's like with the Alex Kazan thing.
• 1:32:44
  It's like, dude, we don't just spew shit.
• 1:32:48
  This is, we are, we are a mouthpiece.
• 1:32:51
  Do people who tell us stuff that we think is is good information.
• 1:32:55
  We're not just saying bullshit. Look.
• 1:33:00
  Whether you want to, whether you want to believe it or not, it's
• 1:33:03
  true. It's true, yeah.
• 1:33:07
  There is not one thing that's been has ever put out like that.
• 1:33:11
  That's that wasn't true. Now don't.
• 1:33:13
  He definitely does. And I think you will agree to
• 1:33:16
  this, but you have an agenda. But it's still not I yeah, you
• 1:33:21
  do push out CrossFit me. I'm saying that's not a bad
• 1:33:25
  thing. I don't.
• 1:33:26
  I don't need to. It's your your job to have one,
• 1:33:29
  all right, but you don't. You've never posted something
• 1:33:32
  that was a rumor. And if it is you.
• 1:33:36
  Without without anything. This is a rumor.
• 1:33:39
  Like like like it's you never put something out as fact that
• 1:33:43
  wasn't freaking fact. The rumors we get served that
• 1:33:46
  are just blatantly false. Like we sit on all kinds of shit
• 1:33:50
  like that all the time. Like if it makes it to you, I
• 1:33:54
  can't. Tell you how rude stuff Jenny
• 1:33:56
  doesn't say. Oh my God, how much this shit
• 1:34:01
  Hiller doesn't say. Yes, correct.
• 1:34:06
  So I like. You want to do?
• 1:34:07
  I feel like I did this clip of disservice.
• 1:34:09
  You want to play the whole thing.
• 1:34:11
  We'll get to it. Piggybacking off your
• 1:34:15
  professional sports and mental health and, and, and you've said
• 1:34:20
  this for John, how many people that follow the CrossFit Games
• 1:34:25
  or CrossFit in general don't watch other sports?
• 1:34:30
  So. They do not understand, like
• 1:34:34
  when I talk about the Alex Kazan thing I see on any sports site
• 1:34:43
  about some, I don't know, model that was supposedly dating two
• 1:34:47
  professional tennis athletes at the same time.
• 1:34:51
  And it was like so and so reportedly dating both these
• 1:34:54
  guys at the same time. 1 reportedly is the exact same
• 1:34:58
  thing as rumors. They didn't cite their sources
• 1:35:02
  because they don't want to out those sources.
• 1:35:03
  So they get more source, more information down the road and
• 1:35:07
  it's the exact same thing. Like if anything, it's probably
• 1:35:12
  worse than saying that somebody didn't want to compete with
• 1:35:15
  somebody who's not 100% and everybody's losing their mind on
• 1:35:19
  me. And like, go go search any type
• 1:35:22
  of gossip, like sports, anything.
• 1:35:26
  It's all over the place. If if the running backs at at or
• 1:35:32
  the OR some of the receivers at the Bears were like, I'm I'm
• 1:35:35
  gonna leave the team. If Caleb isn't taken off of
• 1:35:38
  quarterback, it would be all over the place.
• 1:35:41
  I mean fuck dude, he got his nails painted last week and it
• 1:35:44
  was a huge story. We don't do fucking nail stories
• 1:35:49
  right. You would want to know if the
• 1:35:52
  wide receivers are pulling out because Caleb is still
• 1:35:54
  quarterback. If Jason Hopper went to the same
• 1:35:57
  nail salon as Danny Spiegel and they got their nails painted
• 1:35:59
  together, it's been posted about it then like that's what that's
• 1:36:04
  what ESPN did. Yeah.
• 1:36:07
  That's what ESPN is doing. Like it.
• 1:36:09
  It's way more personal. And I know we're not at that
• 1:36:13
  level or anything, but it's, it's if you want, like the
• 1:36:18
  professional thing is laughable. Either let's be professional or
• 1:36:22
  let's just work out. Continue playing Patty.
• 1:36:25
  Cake Be a fun little community that wins gift cards to.
• 1:36:29
  I'm all for just working out. Chinese restaurants.
• 1:36:31
  But you can't have one without the other.
• 1:36:35
  All right, will take us home. Or anybody that's had to deal
• 1:36:39
  with that BS that you know, it's just part of the job.
• 1:36:43
  And it's important to understand like what you stand on and
• 1:36:48
  understand that as athletes, you're trying to do something
• 1:36:53
  that you're passionate about and that you love.
• 1:36:55
  And it's not always going to be easy.
• 1:36:57
  And as a business, when you're trying to create something great
• 1:36:59
  that may be considered disruptive by some, We think
• 1:37:03
  it's additive personally. And as an organization, I think
• 1:37:06
  it's important to just keep the people around you that are
• 1:37:09
  supportive. Make sure you lean on it's, it's
• 1:37:13
  like AI, forget what the saying is, but it's like, I wouldn't
• 1:37:15
  take advice from somebody that's never done what I've done.
• 1:37:21
  No one's ever done what you've done, you Jackass.
• 1:37:25
  What it wait, what do you mean? They've not started a fitness
• 1:37:28
  league to compete with the CrossFit Games.
• 1:37:30
  Like there's a thousand ways to carve that where you just like
• 1:37:33
  you've never done what I've done.
• 1:37:34
  Oh fucking K fucking idiot. That means that.
• 1:37:40
  Dave Castro is the only one that can criticize Will Morad.
• 1:37:43
  That was such a douchey comment. He's basically jerking himself
• 1:37:47
  off on the camera in front of all three of these people and
• 1:37:50
  everybody watching. You've never done what I've done
• 1:37:52
  and I only I only surround myself with people who support
• 1:37:55
  me. Because you're a fucking idiot,
• 1:37:56
  dude. Like John or me comes up with
• 1:37:58
  stupid ideas and, and, or anybody on this panel comes up
• 1:38:02
  with stupid ideas. And the other two are like,
• 1:38:03
  yeah. That's so, so spin.
• 1:38:07
  And they're the other two are like, that's fucking dumb.
• 1:38:10
  Like or we we constructively criticize like, hey, dude,
• 1:38:14
  that's not going to work the way you think it is.
• 1:38:16
  We don't just support hey, hey, hey, Tyler, that's a great idea.
• 1:38:20
  It's going to flop in about two days, but it's a good idea.
• 1:38:22
  I mean, I think you could just say the locker room.
• 1:38:24
  Yes, dude, we constantly bash each other and it's, it's not
• 1:38:28
  even like it's not bashing, it's constructive, it's challenging.
• 1:38:33
  What people are thinking or saying or doing, Oh 100%.
• 1:38:37
  You're in your own fucking echo chamber, Will, Like that.
• 1:38:40
  This is why your ship's sinking, because you have a bunch of glad
• 1:38:43
  handers around. He's like, that's a great idea,
• 1:38:45
  Will. It was a great idea to drink a
• 1:38:47
  bunch of fucking alcohol in the middle of the fucking hotel.
• 1:38:49
  But you did that anyway, didn't? You I actually I, I I think
• 1:38:53
  what? Go, go ahead, spin.
• 1:38:55
  I don't know. Will's getting drunk in a hotel.
• 1:38:58
  Cool, I I I feel I do want to say he just said he did say
• 1:39:03
  that's part of the job. So like my whole rant on the
• 1:39:08
  mental health thing, he did say that was part of the job.
• 1:39:10
  So yeah, but he talks. He talks on both sides though.
• 1:39:13
  100 I just want to acknowledge that he did just he did just say
• 1:39:16
  that. If he would have said that, I
• 1:39:18
  don't think I would have went quite as hard as I did.
• 1:39:20
  It's all. It's all.
• 1:39:21
  I'm glad you paused it then went.
• 1:39:22
  Hard. Yeah, yeah.
• 1:39:23
  It's all yeah, yeah, yeah. It was an unfortunate pause, but
• 1:39:28
  I feel like Will is, and I could be wrong, Tyler, you've met him.
• 1:39:34
  I've never actually met him in person.
• 1:39:36
  I've met him. He's bullshit.
• 1:39:37
  He was at the games, but I don't think they were trying to talk
• 1:39:40
  to us. I feel like Will is a different
• 1:39:43
  person in person from from Pete, from everybody I've talked to,
• 1:39:47
  they've said Will is like a cool guy.
• 1:39:50
  He just doesn't I, I get how he comes off on like these
• 1:39:54
  interviews, but he's, he's a really cool person and like he's
• 1:39:58
  a nice person, blah, blah, blah, all the, all the stuff like he's
• 1:40:01
  not. I've known him for nine years,
• 1:40:04
  probably like. 1520 years. And I mean if.
• 1:40:07
  That's the case I've had. I've had no issues with them.
• 1:40:09
  But already 4050 something years if that's if that's the case and
• 1:40:16
  it truly just comes off really poorly in interviews or he'd
• 1:40:19
  like can't stop word speaking word salad.
• 1:40:25
  If people don't know what that word, if you will, yeah, yeah,
• 1:40:28
  if you, if you will, then they should hire a a spokesperson, a
• 1:40:36
  WFP spokesperson that just announces all of their things
• 1:40:40
  and like that, that that will word things in a way people
• 1:40:43
  want. Will worked out with Miss Spin
• 1:40:45
  at the same gym, liked him a lot.
• 1:40:46
  He was a nice to to our boys and I'm sure he's still a nice guy
• 1:40:52
  in person, but like doesn't mean that I can't.
• 1:40:57
  The way he answers. Questions I cannot doesn't mean
• 1:41:00
  that just because he's been nice to my boys doesn't mean that I
• 1:41:02
  have to like agree with how he's running this thing or how he's
• 1:41:06
  doing it or just be totally on board and I am going to call out
• 1:41:14
  when things happen. I guess I go so hard at will.
• 1:41:19
  It's, it's a bit like the locker room where it's like you, we
• 1:41:22
  expect a certain amount out of everybody and it's like, will,
• 1:41:26
  you really had an opportunity here?
• 1:41:27
  Like I remember in the beginning when we were talking about the
• 1:41:30
  WFP, I was like, dude, this could, this could be a big
• 1:41:33
  thing, right? And then, you know, you've kind
• 1:41:36
  of shit all over it and it's like, I, I wanted you to do
• 1:41:39
  better. I really did.
• 1:41:41
  Now I see what your cards are. I don't really like it but it's
• 1:41:44
  like figure your shit out bro. I just think you need a
• 1:41:48
  spokesperson. Yeah.
• 1:41:50
  I think he's incapable of answering a question.
• 1:41:53
  Just straighten to the point. It's hard to do I.
• 1:41:59
  Don't think you have to do, I don't think you have to answer
• 1:42:01
  it straight to the point, but you got to be able to get to
• 1:42:02
  that point eloquently, I don't think.
• 1:42:05
  I mean, Glassman never just said yes.
• 1:42:11
  No, but Glassman would be like. The answer is yes, but let me
• 1:42:15
  tell you why you're retarded. Like.
• 1:42:18
  And then he would go on a spiel. He might have actually said
• 1:42:21
  that. Maybe so.
• 1:42:22
  And I think that's important for athletes for for, for media
• 1:42:26
  people that might be getting beat for people within our
• 1:42:30
  organization. So that was a little bit
• 1:42:32
  sporadic, but I, I think that's a good message.
• 1:42:34
  Like one don't believe everything you hear because a
• 1:42:37
  lot of those people might not even believe what they're saying
• 1:42:39
  and then. I don't believe anything I'm
• 1:42:42
  saying. I've never, I promise to all of
• 1:42:47
  the people that are listening, I've never said something that I
• 1:42:52
  didn't believe in. October 7th.
• 1:42:54
  It's and I believe, I believe that to my core.
• 1:42:58
  Don't stop believing, baby. That is, what is that about 13
• 1:43:04
  days away? Countdown.
• 1:43:06
  No, no, it's way one no. 1320 days away. 20 days away.
• 1:43:12
  We're winding down, folks. Yeah, 20 days away, it could
• 1:43:15
  happen. I think they're going.
• 1:43:16
  To sell it on October 8th I. Think they're going to do it on
• 1:43:19
  the 7th just. To think they are.
• 1:43:22
  Just to match it. If it, if it, if it, if it does
• 1:43:25
  come to fruitions, man, we need to go back to the and.
• 1:43:28
  The only thing that has it going against it is October 7th is on
• 1:43:30
  a Tuesday I think, not a Wednesday.
• 1:43:32
  Great day for yeah. News.
• 1:43:35
  I mean, it's not a coincidence that obviously all the CrossFit
• 1:43:38
  news comes out on a Wednesday. So I'm saying, you know, October
• 1:43:43
  8th might be the day. Spin pays CrossFit 50 grand for
• 1:43:46
  that. How it works So yeah.
• 1:43:51
  If people are talking shit, it's probably because you're doing.
• 1:43:55
  Something right? I do like the the, you know, I
• 1:43:59
  don't like it necessarily. People are talking shit in a in
• 1:44:01
  a negative way, as you put it. But I do think that when people
• 1:44:05
  talk about things, whether right, wrong or indifferent, it
• 1:44:08
  does give you an opportunity, anyone opportunity to respond to
• 1:44:12
  that and, and elevate whatever it is they want to talk about.
• 1:44:15
  Because if no one was talking about you, you wouldn't be
• 1:44:17
  relevant at all, whether it's good or bad, right?
• 1:44:19
  So even if you don't like some of the stuff they're saying, it
• 1:44:22
  gives you a chance to respond and, and put your actual message
• 1:44:25
  out there, whatever that message might be.
• 1:44:26
  So I, I, you know me personally and I'm not on the level of you
• 1:44:30
  and WFP and the things you have to deal with.
• 1:44:32
  But if someone's going to say something about me gives me a
• 1:44:34
  chance to put out there in the world what I want people to hear
• 1:44:37
  about me and what I'm doing. So that's that's kind of how I
• 1:44:39
  look at it personally. Yeah, that's great.
• 1:44:41
  It's. Because Seth is smart as fuck.
• 1:44:45
  I would say Seth put out probably the best 92nd
• 1:44:49
  explanation on the World Fitness Project season on his own page
• 1:44:55
  last week. Did you see that?
• 1:44:58
  Yeah. It took into like 2/3 of the
• 1:45:03
  season for that to come out, and he just did it on his own and it
• 1:45:06
  was probably the easiest consumption of how the actual
• 1:45:08
  season works. He's 100% right on that.
• 1:45:13
  Use whatever is being said to then clarify, amplify, make your
• 1:45:18
  point and be clear about it. Don't dance around, just be
• 1:45:21
  angry at what we say or talk about the rumors that are said.
• 1:45:25
  Come out and do something about it.
• 1:45:28
  Be like water, my friend. And adopt.
• 1:45:35
  So there you go. Thank you.
• 1:45:39
  Will anything else on World Fitness project?
• 1:45:42
  I guess we'll see what they come out with soon, yes?
• 1:45:47
  I am am looking forward to how they to see how they.
• 1:45:52
  Navigate the next. It's their move.
• 1:45:54
  Our our balls are in your court. Before we move on, what do you
• 1:46:00
  think that it was? Got them.
• 1:46:07
  Do you think World Fitness project caused CrossFit to come
• 1:46:12
  out with stuff earlier I. Think it'd be cool?
• 1:46:15
  I don't. I don't know, but it would.
• 1:46:18
  It would be funny. Dude they 100% did this.
• 1:46:20
  Sheer, sheer entertainment. Just to.
• 1:46:23
  It's so awesome. Well, it's awesome, but it it is
• 1:46:29
  our living like it, like it feels.
• 1:46:31
  It feels like a show and you're like, let's see what happens in
• 1:46:34
  the next episode, right? Like, I don't, you know, I don't
• 1:46:38
  know if it's going to go good or bad.
• 1:46:40
  I'm just, I'm just watching, you know, and it's.
• 1:46:42
  Entertaining. It's just like the sale of
• 1:46:44
  CrossFit. We have no idea what it's.
• 1:46:45
  Going to go. So so I'm I'm.
• 1:46:47
  With on a good end of it. So honest is a baller move.
• 1:46:50
  Like I just, I love, I hope I have no idea who made this call.
• 1:46:54
  I assume it was a group effort. But in my head I feel like
• 1:46:58
  somebody had baked it up and they were like, they might not
• 1:47:01
  go for this. And they're like, hey, Dave,
• 1:47:03
  like how about we do this exactly when they're doing it,
• 1:47:06
  and Dave goes, do it now. Before they come out with it,
• 1:47:10
  we're the ones that post it. They're the ones have to react
• 1:47:12
  to it. How?
• 1:47:13
  Odd is it that Dave is going to water Palooza and talking to the
• 1:47:16
  athletes? That's never happened.
• 1:47:20
  My money is on on Peter. He's going to talk to Peter?
• 1:47:23
  No. No, no, Peter's.
• 1:47:25
  Peter's the one who said to to do it that day.
• 1:47:31
  We don't have any control at CrossFit, What are you talking
• 1:47:33
  about? Pete.
• 1:47:34
  Oh, you're right. Let's move on.
• 1:47:36
  Move on. Next, next, next, next.
• 1:47:38
  Next. All right, we need to move on.
• 1:47:39
  We're we're that we've talked a lot, yeah.
• 1:47:42
  We're behind time. We're.
• 1:47:43
  Going to do this one quickly. We are going to do some blind
• 1:47:47
  rankings. It has nothing to do with
• 1:47:48
  anything. Still sponsored by Manta Sleep
• 1:47:51
  Mask. Is it?
• 1:47:53
  It. Should be it'd be cool.
• 1:47:56
  We should bring him back. I've been blinded to that fact,
• 1:47:58
  if that's the truth. I wear my mantis sleep mask
• 1:48:01
  every night. Same I still do.
• 1:48:03
  I wonder if I still have a code I don't know.
• 1:48:05
  Use code spin? Try it out.
• 1:48:06
  Try it out. I saw Leslie in it the other day
• 1:48:09
  and I was like, what are you doing?
• 1:48:10
  She just looks like a like a butterfly was on her face.
• 1:48:14
  Yeah, this one has nothing to do with CrossFit.
• 1:48:16
  It has nothing to do with anything.
• 1:48:17
  We are ranking states. Oh sweet, I'm down for that.
• 1:48:25
  Thomas and I are not gonna. We might I.
• 1:48:27
  Think so. I think we're we're uniquely,
• 1:48:31
  our haters are similar, I feel in this.
• 1:48:34
  Maybe our fans are gonna hate our rankings.
• 1:48:36
  I don't, I don't care. I don't care.
• 1:48:38
  I, you're gonna be, you're gonna say Alabama is like 2.
• 1:48:41
  So like, like we're gonna disagree with that.
• 1:48:44
  But but I I actually think we're gonna be more similar than you
• 1:48:47
  think. What's a as we always start?
• 1:48:50
  What's the number one state period?
• 1:48:56
  If the country goes to heck, Texas will be the last state
• 1:49:00
  remaining. They've already, they've already
• 1:49:02
  shown that they would be. Texas will rebel if like the
• 1:49:06
  government said, hey, we need to, we're taking all the guns
• 1:49:08
  back. Like if like, you know what I'm
• 1:49:09
  saying, Like if, if the country truly disintegrated, Texas would
• 1:49:14
  be the last state standing. I, I told Jeanette when there
• 1:49:17
  was like Texas was getting a little sideways and acting like
• 1:49:20
  they were going to secede for a second I was like, if they do we
• 1:49:23
  have to move Texas. I was like, we don't really have
• 1:49:25
  a choice. I was like, I have to know what
• 1:49:27
  that, that is. I I need to understand that?
• 1:49:33
  I think, I think we all kind of disagree with Christopher
• 1:49:36
  Rattray. New Jersey is.
• 1:49:39
  Didn't make the top 50. New Jersey is pretty rough, man
• 1:49:44
  all. Right.
• 1:49:45
  Let's see what you guys got. Here we go, Georgia.
• 1:49:52
  Here's the I like Georgia, but the problem with Georgia is it's
• 1:49:57
  the most boring state of all time to drive through.
• 1:50:01
  Wrong to drive through. Have you driven through
• 1:50:03
  Mississippi? Have you driven through
• 1:50:06
  Arkansas? I mean, they're all the same.
• 1:50:08
  I put them on the same plane. I put them on the same plane.
• 1:50:11
  Georgia's rough man. Dude, Arkansas sucks.
• 1:50:17
  Yeah, I mean, I'm not here to hate on Arkansas, man.
• 1:50:20
  I'll give it a four. I like parts of Georgia.
• 1:50:23
  Georgia has a really. Savannah.
• 1:50:25
  Savannah is very pretty. Parts of Atlanta are dope.
• 1:50:28
  Training think tank. Yeah, they got Savannah.
• 1:50:32
  I'll give it a four. I feel like, I feel like the
• 1:50:35
  girls are really pretty in Georgia.
• 1:50:38
  They got great sports in Georgia all across the board.
• 1:50:41
  College. Sports.
• 1:50:42
  College sports. The Hawks.
• 1:50:47
  I'll give it 4. All right, I'm good.
• 1:50:49
  I'm good all. Right 4 Next up, Vermont. 5.
• 1:50:58
  We have, we have to think through.
• 1:51:00
  This. No, we don't.
• 1:51:01
  We have to think through this because.
• 1:51:04
  It's cold as fuck. Vermont's not worse than
• 1:51:07
  Mississippi, dude. You know, You know.
• 1:51:13
  Don't let don't. Let hard work pay off.
• 1:51:16
  Like you have to think of like, you have to think of states like
• 1:51:18
  Arkansas and Mississippi. You know, if you live in
• 1:51:20
  Arkansas, your favorite state is Mississippi.
• 1:51:22
  Mississippi is not on this list. Did you know that everybody in
• 1:51:26
  Arkansas loves Mississippi? Really.
• 1:51:29
  Because Mississippi is the one state that separates Arkansas
• 1:51:32
  from being the worst state in the United States.
• 1:51:36
  I dig. I dig Gulfport, I dig Biloxi, I
• 1:51:38
  dig none of the rest of the state.
• 1:51:41
  Georgia needed to be 3 is what needed to happen.
• 1:51:45
  Georgia needed to be 3. I don't think there's.
• 1:51:49
  There are states worse than Vermont.
• 1:51:51
  Not on this list. All right, I'm going to ride
• 1:51:57
  with you. I don't want to put Vermont.
• 1:51:58
  I don't. I don't want to put Vermont.
• 1:52:00
  I, I, I putting Vermont 3 feels terrible.
• 1:52:03
  I mean, Vermont almost killed Jason Hopper.
• 1:52:05
  Jason Hopper is currently the fittest man in the world, and
• 1:52:08
  Vermont almost killed all. Right, 512 and three up next,
• 1:52:16
  Idaho. I'd give it a 2. 3 Why?
• 1:52:24
  3 dude? Because there's so many good
• 1:52:26
  states. Are they on the list though?
• 1:52:29
  Dude, freedom is free out in Idaho.
• 1:52:32
  They it really is. But is it as free as Montana?
• 1:52:37
  I would say yes. Like, let's just think, think
• 1:52:42
  through it. There's more shit to do in
• 1:52:43
  Idaho. I would pick Florida over Idaho.
• 1:52:46
  The geography is greater in Idaho than it is in Montana.
• 1:52:52
  Mount Rushmore's in North Dakota.
• 1:52:54
  What about that? North Dakota?
• 1:52:56
  South Dakota? South Dakota?
• 1:52:58
  Everything except for Mount Rushmore.
• 1:53:00
  OK but what I can Utah dude, Utah's so much better than Idaho
• 1:53:05
  not. Currently.
• 1:53:06
  I am dude you, but like I like like Utah.
• 1:53:11
  I mean, I would put obviously Texas.
• 1:53:16
  I would put Arizona above Idaho. I would put.
• 1:53:21
  I'll give it a three. There's other states that.
• 1:53:23
  Tennessee is above Idaho like like those type of states right?
• 1:53:28
  I would even Kentucky's probably with Idaho.
• 1:53:34
  Where are we putting it? What number?
• 1:53:35
  3. Virginia's above Idaho.
• 1:53:39
  Man no the the last South. Carolina, North Carolina are
• 1:53:42
  above Idaho. I'd give one and two, one and
• 1:53:44
  two. You guys are rolling the dice
• 1:53:46
  here next, John. We got to be careful here,
• 1:53:49
  buddy. Dude, you might have already
• 1:53:51
  blown it, who knows? You gave us a bunch of crap
• 1:53:54
  steaks, Ben. Come on now.
• 1:53:56
  You love Georgia. All right, Next up, Arizona.
• 1:53:59
  Oh, this is beautiful. Arizona's great.
• 1:54:01
  Oh God, Arizona's. Arizona's beautiful.
• 1:54:04
  What? What?
• 1:54:05
  It's below Georgia. I don't think so dude.
• 1:54:08
  You're wrong. The fuck's in Arizona besides
• 1:54:14
  Phoenix and Phoenix? World Fitness Project Tour Stop
• 1:54:21
  2. It's nice out 24/7.
• 1:54:24
  If I gotta go. There's a whole bunch of pretty
• 1:54:26
  golf. Courses in Arizona.
• 1:54:27
  Really hot. It's it, it is hot, but it's a,
• 1:54:30
  but like everybody in Arizona will tell you, it's a dry heat,
• 1:54:33
  right? It's not a, it's not a wet heat.
• 1:54:35
  It's Red River Gorge, the Grand Canyon, Red River Gorge.
• 1:54:39
  Every time I. Don't think people could agree
• 1:54:42
  with. You, because we always been to
• 1:54:44
  the Red River Gorge. Scottsdale.
• 1:54:46
  Scottsdale, I mean. How's the malls in Scottsdale?
• 1:54:49
  Really good. Beautiful a freaking hey Jan
• 1:54:52
  went to Scottsdale. I don't know how many times in
• 1:54:54
  the office. Just saying dude, Arizona.
• 1:55:03
  Arizona is very nice. He watched the episode 7 times
• 1:55:07
  though. Regardless, I I don't think we
• 1:55:11
  messed up. I think I think you can.
• 1:55:13
  I'm fine with putting Arizona too, but I don't think we have
• 1:55:16
  messed up yet. Arizona's too.
• 1:55:18
  I we're going to I think we're screwed.
• 1:55:20
  He's. Going to hit us with
• 1:55:22
  Mississippi. It's not Mississippi.
• 1:55:25
  It'd be hilarious if it were Mississippi.
• 1:55:28
  It's not sorry #1 the best state of this list.
• 1:55:33
  Kansas Kansas Scott, this sucks. Yeah, Kansas is not great.
• 1:55:40
  Spin, spin. You did not give us care of many
• 1:55:43
  good seconds. For me it goes Georgia, Idaho.
• 1:55:49
  Kansas is garbage man. I would say Georgia, Idaho,
• 1:55:53
  Vermont. Arizona, Kansas.
• 1:55:55
  I'm from Missouri and I went to Mizzou and we picked Kansas is
• 1:55:59
  #1 that's trash. OK.
• 1:56:03
  I would I would say Arizona and then Georgia.
• 1:56:07
  It's OK. We disagree on Arizona.
• 1:56:09
  That's fine. I would say, I would say Arizona
• 1:56:12
  and then Georgia and then Idaho and then Kansas and then
• 1:56:16
  Vermont. Vermont's definitely better than
• 1:56:19
  Kansas. This was a.
• 1:56:20
  This was hard to do though. I give you I give you northeast,
• 1:56:24
  southeast, southwest, northeast, middle of the.
• 1:56:27
  Country. I did not pick up on that.
• 1:56:30
  Did you pick up on that? Pulled it everywhere.
• 1:56:32
  I wish we would have picked up on that because then I think we
• 1:56:34
  would have fared better. In my head I was just hoping for
• 1:56:37
  all southern states so. Yeah, dude, I, I thought we were
• 1:56:40
  in Texas, California, Florida, Tennessee.
• 1:56:44
  That's way too. Yeah, yeah.
• 1:56:45
  Kentucky, Tennessee, Missouri, like like you know, you put like
• 1:56:49
  some of our home States and then and then, you know, the good
• 1:56:53
  ones. Well, there you go.
• 1:56:56
  Blind Rankings. Dude, there is nothing in
• 1:56:59
  Kansas. Nothing.
• 1:57:00
  That's why Vermont's. Been Grant.
• 1:57:02
  Grant is in Kansas, not bad Kansas.
• 1:57:05
  And you ranked him #1? I'm just kidding, Grant.
• 1:57:07
  I didn't mean that. That was me.
• 1:57:10
  Is he in Kansas? I thought he was in Iowa.
• 1:57:13
  No, he's in Kansas. They're the same thing.
• 1:57:15
  This ain't close enough. No, Caitlin Clark's not from
• 1:57:18
  Kansas. Iowa Tear Tear Cup.
• 1:57:21
  This weekend we will be doing spin cast.
• 1:57:24
  We will not have the stream on the screen because of copyright.
• 1:57:29
  Authoritarian governments, Yeah, governments and just regulations
• 1:57:34
  and rules and stuff. Not for trying, but we'll be
• 1:57:39
  doing it. It's going to be late as shit on
• 1:57:42
  Saturday and Friday and Saturday night, especially if you're on
• 1:57:44
  the East Coast. I'm ready.
• 1:57:46
  That works good for me. Better than 3:00 AM on for the
• 1:57:50
  rogue. Strong women what?
• 1:57:52
  Time are we starting? Are you East Coast Tyler now?
• 1:57:54
  Yeah, I've always been. It's Friday night I think is and
• 1:57:58
  it's like 11:50 East Coast. So buckle up, Bron might wake up
• 1:58:03
  at like when you're ready to be done so. 11:50 Yeah, not bad.
• 1:58:08
  That works out great for me. Yeah.
• 1:58:10
  Bron 8 * 8 o'clock. Real quick though I wanted to
• 1:58:15
  spend more time on it but is there a team you can make out of
• 1:58:19
  non selected tear cup athletes that could win?
• 1:58:24
  Austin Hatfield immediately. Yeah, it would be tough, but I
• 1:58:27
  think absolutely, can we pick from everybody?
• 1:58:30
  Yeah, that's not on the team right now.
• 1:58:31
  Can you pull up the roster, please?
• 1:58:33
  And then and we'll go through it.
• 1:58:35
  We'll the. Roster of all right.
• 1:58:36
  All right, sorry. Of who?
• 1:58:39
  Of just the world in North America.
• 1:58:41
  So we don't, we don't pick them. Correct.
• 1:58:43
  Like just so who we know not not to pick.
• 1:58:45
  All right, give me a second here.
• 1:58:48
  Yeah, Austin and James, How many men are we 4?
• 1:58:51
  It's four men, four women. Austin, James, Jeff.
• 1:58:59
  Why is there a roster nowhere to be found?
• 1:59:01
  Yeah, this one's probably the easiest way to see it.
• 1:59:07
  And then we need like an Invictor Hoffer.
• 1:59:10
  No. You need, you need like a
• 1:59:12
  specialist, dude. You don't.
• 1:59:14
  Because it's an All Star game. It's not a.
• 1:59:17
  You got 1, Austin. I I think.
• 1:59:22
  Colton on the list. Yeah, I think you could put
• 1:59:25
  Colton on the list, absolutely. So that's that's Sprague Austin,
• 1:59:30
  Austin Colton and Jeff, Jeff, Jeff, great team.
• 1:59:34
  Are we, are we going to say fit Jeff, Fit Jeff?
• 1:59:37
  Can we? Can we?
• 1:59:38
  Not, not hurt, Jeff. Yeah, we can't.
• 1:59:40
  OK. Yeah, Like, let's like make sure
• 1:59:42
  we could say fit Jeff because I don't want.
• 1:59:45
  I don't want not fit Jeff. OK, girls, I want.
• 1:59:51
  It's hard. I want to say we go Alex Kazan
• 1:59:53
  just to, just to. See, I think she doesn't count.
• 1:59:57
  I don't think she counts. And there's bring muscle up
• 2:00:00
  workout man she's. Yeah, what I'm saying that she
• 2:00:02
  would have been, she would have been Team Water.
• 2:00:04
  She would have been Team North America.
• 2:00:06
  OK, the women are a lot harder. Maddie Sturd.
• 2:00:13
  Mallow, Brian. You can't pick Mal.
• 2:00:17
  What are we not allowed to? I'm just, are we allowed to pick
• 2:00:19
  other people or no? They need to be relevant.
• 2:00:21
  Yeah, Laura. Horvath Mal's doing, you do,
• 2:00:24
  Laura. Horvath I.
• 2:00:26
  Would probably do. Laura, dude, she's one of the
• 2:00:28
  fittest women in the world. I'm not going to act like she's
• 2:00:30
  not one of the fittest women in the.
• 2:00:31
  World yeah she doesn't have to do the handstand push up workout
• 2:00:33
  she's. She doesn't.
• 2:00:34
  She doesn't. She's fully recovered.
• 2:00:36
  So Laura Horvath, Maddie Sturt. The The women are hard man, I
• 2:00:43
  want to say. Mirror.
• 2:00:48
  Yeah, I like Ariel. I just don't know if her heart
• 2:00:51
  is in it right now. Lucy.
• 2:00:54
  Lucy's on world. Ah shit, Dome it.
• 2:00:58
  Yeah, I like Abby Dome it. Lucy, what are you talking
• 2:01:03
  about? Lucy is not on team.
• 2:01:04
  World. Oh, well then Lucy Campbell,
• 2:01:06
  man. Yeah.
• 2:01:06
  What are you talking about? So Lucy, Ariel.
• 2:01:11
  Lucy, Laura. Ariel, Maddie.
• 2:01:15
  Yes. And then Jeff Austin Colton, and
• 2:01:25
  who was her 4th. Sprague.
• 2:01:27
  Sprague, it's pretty solid. I think they got a shot do.
• 2:01:33
  You think we should pick somebody stronger than Laura?
• 2:01:37
  Yeah, we don't really have a strong.
• 2:01:38
  Girl, no, you can't pick. Well, who would you give up?
• 2:01:41
  I would keep Lucy. I'd keep Laura.
• 2:01:46
  I think I mean you give up Maddie or Ariel.
• 2:01:48
  I'm probably keeping Ariel just because someone like some
• 2:01:50
  handstand walk thing. Dome is strong.
• 2:01:53
  Not she's not. Yeah, she's not technically
• 2:01:56
  strong. She's powerful.
• 2:01:59
  Yeah. She is strong but like I mean I
• 2:02:02
  think I'm still taking Tia. I don't think I'd take anybody
• 2:02:05
  else, Emma. Lawson's on North America, guys,
• 2:02:10
  Can you Scroll down North America 'cause everybody keeps
• 2:02:13
  freaking saying to Emma Lawson, mirror him.
• 2:02:15
  I thought about mirror him, but mirror him's just like squat
• 2:02:18
  strong. That's about it, right?
• 2:02:24
  I think you have two options, you can go with solid cross
• 2:02:26
  fitters or you can go kind of the specialist route.
• 2:02:31
  Like Ghee is good in these events 'cause you don't have to
• 2:02:34
  play him when he's gonna suck most of the time.
• 2:02:36
  Yeah, I'm, I almost think somebody like a Kyra Milligan.
• 2:02:41
  She could be good. Because she's very strong at
• 2:02:45
  every lift. She'd be a good team player.
• 2:02:48
  And and then I think she would just do her role and like, she
• 2:02:51
  doesn't have to be fit, she just has to be good where you put
• 2:02:54
  her. Right.
• 2:02:54
  She do the she do the strength pieces, the gymnastics pieces,
• 2:02:57
  correct? And then that's it.
• 2:02:59
  That's all you're doing. Yeah, she has to run.
• 2:03:02
  She just doesn't make it Lucy. Lucy's Lucy's our swimmer.
• 2:03:07
  Yeah. Lucy versus Gracie.
• 2:03:09
  Who are you taking? On the men's side you have Adler
• 2:03:11
  normally, so he'd be good on the swim side too, like.
• 2:03:13
  James, you have James and James. Yeah, dude, we're rocking the
• 2:03:17
  swim. Come on, Dylan.
• 2:03:19
  Hey, is there a last chance? Can we get those, get our team?
• 2:03:22
  Can we get the spin team out there?
• 2:03:24
  The fan team. North America versus world
• 2:03:26
  versus spin. Spin team.
• 2:03:29
  That would be amazing if they all agreed to it.
• 2:03:31
  That would be so amazing. And it's just who we picked,
• 2:03:35
  right? Oh man, dude, everybody would
• 2:03:38
  love our team. Are you kidding?
• 2:03:39
  North America versus the world versus.
• 2:03:41
  Take Anika over Kyra, either one probably is good.
• 2:03:44
  Either. Either.
• 2:03:47
  I'd take Kyra. I think I would take.
• 2:03:48
  I think Kyra could apply to more things than Anika could.
• 2:03:53
  Anika's got a stronger squat than Kyra has.
• 2:03:55
  I I think so but Kyra extremely good at deadlift, extremely good
• 2:04:01
  at clean and jerk, extremely good at squatting extremely good
• 2:04:04
  at ring muscle UPS like she just she has more of the specialties.
• 2:04:08
  Annika handstand push ups all day but.
• 2:04:12
  And Kyra. Was a team.
• 2:04:13
  That's what we got, Ariel. Yeah, unless he was great.
• 2:04:16
  Handstand push ups too so. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 2:04:20
  Yeah, Yeah. No, that'd be.
• 2:04:21
  We should. Come on, Dylan, let us get a
• 2:04:23
  team out there. We can take the misfits.
• 2:04:25
  The misfits of who you don't pick.
• 2:04:27
  There's still time we can call them, yeah.
• 2:04:30
  I mean, if the World Fitness project can do a work, can
• 2:04:32
  program an entire competition in two days using quarterfinals
• 2:04:37
  workouts, we can get these. Athletes out to Huntington?
• 2:04:39
  No problem. Dude, we will send invites out
• 2:04:41
  tonight. Yeah, Let us know, Dylan.
• 2:04:44
  Let us know. We can do this.
• 2:04:46
  Let's just send it and just if they show up, you'd be like, you
• 2:04:49
  got to do it. We got them here, they're here.
• 2:04:51
  I don't know why. Yeah, I mean, yeah, just have
• 2:04:54
  them show up, give them, give them team shirts.
• 2:04:58
  We got some JY barbell shirts. I think they probably.
• 2:05:00
  Could fit, yeah. Yeah, for sure.
• 2:05:01
  Is that why you don't want Alex? Because they're on the team?
• 2:05:03
  Because it's team spin, that's why.
• 2:05:05
  That's. It Yeah, I just don't.
• 2:05:06
  I hate Alex, I think is the story of that.
• 2:05:11
  I'm super down, man. I, I think they, I don't know if
• 2:05:13
  they would win, but they would be very, very competitive.
• 2:05:17
  Yeah, it'd be fun. It'd be fun to watch.
• 2:05:19

  We covered a quad. Arrangement I imagine they got.
• 2:06:19
  I imagine Tyler's a little bit crazier than John's.
• 2:06:22
  Yeah, yeah, no, they definitely in conspiracy theory.
• 2:06:25
  They're not. I, I told Chris, hey, ask
• 2:06:27
