Transcript
- 0:24I'm in the zone now.
- 0:26You are.
- 0:28That's what the song said.
- 0:29I know you're about to be in the zone.
- 0:31I am shocked back into the zone.
- 0:34Let's do it.
- 0:34Let's shock, shock, shock.
- 0:37Yeah.
- 0:38Zappity zap.
- 0:40Yeah.
- 0:41So are you having any nerves
- 0:43about it and feeling worried or just,
- 0:46I was, and then,
- 0:47then I just kind of had
- 0:48this resolve last night that like,
- 0:51this is one of the most
- 0:52common things that are done
- 0:53medically and,
- 0:54and that you know it should
- 0:58be bing bang done and I'll
- 1:01feel 100 better so so what
- 1:05how does this go like they
- 1:07put you under so I go in
- 1:11they're gonna put me under
- 1:12they're gonna do a scope
- 1:14like an ultrasound through
- 1:15my esophagus to see the
- 1:17back of the heart okay I'll
- 1:19be out cold yeah right right um
- 1:23once they once they
- 1:25determine there are no
- 1:26blood clots in the back of
- 1:27my heart and that's clear
- 1:30then while I'm under they
- 1:31will get out the paddles
- 1:33and they will shock me on
- 1:35top of your chest yeah yeah
- 1:40I don't want to see that
- 1:43and then once they shock me
- 1:45hopefully it goes back into
- 1:47rhythm and then everything like picks up
- 1:52And from what I've been told
- 1:52by the family doctor,
- 1:53like this AFib could have
- 1:56been going on for a while.
- 1:58And I just didn't know it.
- 1:59And then that is,
- 2:01it could be the cause of
- 2:02like my coughing.
- 2:03Because if your blood is,
- 2:06if your heart is not pumping in rhythm,
- 2:08there's a backup of blood.
- 2:10And then the heart is
- 2:12connected directly to the lungs.
- 2:14And then there could be
- 2:15fluid in the lungs from the
- 2:17backup in the heart.
- 2:20Okay.
- 2:21And then once everything
- 2:22starts pumping correctly,
- 2:23that backup goes away.
- 2:28So will they have to monitor
- 2:31you frequently?
- 2:32I mean, once it gets back into rhythm,
- 2:33like what if it gets back out?
- 2:36So that's something I will
- 2:37have to monitor.
- 2:39And how?
- 2:41So I haven't been given
- 2:43medical advice on that.
- 2:44I've been given advice from listeners.
- 2:46Like a lot of people have
- 2:47reached out to me
- 2:49Have you seen the commercial
- 2:50for the cardia where you
- 2:52put two fingers on and it
- 2:54goes to your phone and it
- 2:57can detect AFib immediately
- 2:59within 30 seconds?
- 3:01Not immediately, 30 seconds.
- 3:02Okay.
- 3:04And it also detects a couple
- 3:07other heart issues.
- 3:09But one listener said that is what they...
- 3:14That is what they use all
- 3:16the time because it'll tell
- 3:17them immediately if they're
- 3:18back in AFib or not.
- 3:20Okay.
- 3:23And it's like 79 bucks on Amazon.
- 3:26Worth it.
- 3:27Yeah.
- 3:28You know what else is worth
- 3:29it for you to get?
- 3:33I don't know what.
- 3:34A blood pressure cuff.
- 3:36My blood pressure cuff.
- 3:37Yeah.
- 3:37I've yet to,
- 3:38my blood pressure has never
- 3:39been an issue.
- 3:40And like Friday, it was 115 over 70.
- 3:44So like everything,
- 3:46everything around my heart
- 3:47is structurally sound and
- 3:50it's just not beating in
- 3:51the right rhythm.
- 3:52Okay.
- 3:54But can you still feel the
- 3:56rhythm if you want to dance
- 3:59or have you lost all rhythm?
- 4:01That's what I'm more concerned about.
- 4:07Well, it does not play.
- 4:08My dancing does not play a
- 4:10factor in my workouts as
- 4:12much as yours does.
- 4:14Right.
- 4:15I'm just saying.
- 4:15Okay.
- 4:18Well, that's unfortunate.
- 4:20But what I was thinking is
- 4:23if that would be one form of movement,
- 4:27you know, like to help you back on your,
- 4:30you know,
- 4:31weight loss journey is that you
- 4:32could do dancing.
- 4:34I could, you know, I could.
- 4:38Do you know what the first
- 4:38thing I'm going to do when I feel better?
- 4:41Get a haircut.
- 4:42Oh, yes, for all of us.
- 4:46Yeah, my hair is so long right now.
- 4:48You're going to get ball cap, Scott,
- 4:50until I can get to my girl.
- 4:52So does that also affect
- 4:55your ability to shave?
- 4:56I'm just curious how those
- 4:58two things correlate.
- 5:05So you've known me for what?
- 5:0710 years now?
- 5:07I know.
- 5:08Yeah.
- 5:09Like if I grunt, I'd grow a beard.
- 5:11Yeah, I know.
- 5:14Like it's just, it is just ridiculous.
- 5:19So I just get bored
- 5:20sometimes and I don't want to shave.
- 5:22So I just let it go and I
- 5:24haven't felt good.
- 5:24So I've had an excuse.
- 5:27Yes.
- 5:29So, yeah.
- 5:32Um,
- 5:34Yeah,
- 5:34I'm excited to find out when you can
- 5:36get back to working out.
- 5:38I am too.
- 5:40I'm excited to hear when I'll be cleared.
- 5:44I know that, again, not medically,
- 5:49but listeners who have had
- 5:50this say that CrossFit is
- 5:53pretty hard on AFib,
- 5:55and you have to really kind
- 5:56of leak yourself back in.
- 5:58Sure.
- 5:58Or do other forms of
- 6:01exercise while getting there.
- 6:04Yeah, you can monitor your intensity.
- 6:06Right.
- 6:09While still doing CrossFit movements,
- 6:13you know.
- 6:16The people's champ is in the building.
- 6:17People's champ.
- 6:20So Corey says the cornrow
- 6:23Scott is my favorite Scott
- 6:24because earlier in the chat,
- 6:26someone said I should take
- 6:27my long hair and do my cornrows.
- 6:31I am not Dave Castro.
- 6:33And I am not doing the cornrow thing.
- 6:38Unless they have a little shed.
- 6:42You have not.
- 6:45There may have been a day,
- 6:46but it has not been recently.
- 6:50Yeah.
- 6:50You know, my Scott used to,
- 6:52he never wore it in a bun,
- 6:53but my Scott used to have long hair.
- 6:57You know.
- 6:58He just got a little haircut.
- 7:00Hmm.
- 7:04I think you're off a con.
- 7:05I think we haven't heard
- 7:06about him a long time.
- 7:07Nope.
- 7:08He's still there.
- 7:11But speaking of,
- 7:12I wore a dress this past
- 7:14weekend and I wore my hair down.
- 7:19You did.
- 7:19Didn't recognize you.
- 7:20Let's talk about how exhausted you were.
- 7:24I was socially exhausted.
- 7:27Because I had to,
- 7:30basically I was invited to
- 7:32make my husband look good.
- 7:34And because this was an
- 7:36event for his customers.
- 7:38And so I had to be talky talky.
- 7:41And usually when I go to big events,
- 7:44I don't like to talky talky.
- 7:46I like to dance or just do my thing.
- 7:50And I talky talky.
- 7:52But have I ever told you guys,
- 7:54listen to this.
- 7:54Okay.
- 7:55So this was a charity event.
- 7:57So they had, hold up, hold up.
- 7:59I've been around drunk.
- 8:01Amy drunk.
- 8:02Amy likes talkie talkie.
- 8:04Okay.
- 8:05With friends.
- 8:06Yeah.
- 8:07Not strangers, not strangers.
- 8:12And yeah, it takes me,
- 8:13I got to ease into that.
- 8:17So this was a charity event,
- 8:19which meant that we were
- 8:21given $25,000 and
- 8:25everybody to gamble and
- 8:29whatever your winnings were, by the way,
- 8:31just went into raffle tickets, of course.
- 8:33So lame, but it's for the children, right?
- 8:37So we, you know,
- 8:38did some gambling and then
- 8:39we got raffle tickets.
- 8:41There were three choices to
- 8:44put your tickets in.
- 8:45I told Scott, Hey, I'm pretty lucky.
- 8:49So I'm just telling you, I'm lucky.
- 8:51There's hundreds of people there.
- 8:54technically I didn't win the
- 8:55prize but I was holding the
- 8:59winning ticket for one of
- 9:00the prizes that doesn't
- 9:03make sense I know I'm going
- 9:04to tell you why though this
- 9:07this older couple comes up
- 9:08to me right when they're
- 9:09about to announce them
- 9:10they're like hey we forgot
- 9:11our readers and we can't
- 9:13read this the tickets can
- 9:15you read our tickets for us
- 9:18if they call it and I was
- 9:19like here you go you just
- 9:20won you're like sure hold on let me
- 9:24I know.
- 9:24I should have given them my
- 9:25tickets and been like, oh, here.
- 9:27You didn't win.
- 9:28Sorry.
- 9:29Like Beetlejuice.
- 9:31Oh, that's my number.
- 9:32But I'm just saying,
- 9:33that's still pretty lucky
- 9:34that I had a hold of the winning ticket,
- 9:36but I didn't win it.
- 9:40It's because you got to dress only,
- 9:41trust me.
- 9:42Yeah, you're right.
- 9:46Always doing the right thing.
- 9:47I know.
- 9:48It is.
- 9:48It's who I am, guys.
- 9:49It's who I am.
- 9:51I'd have taken that 25 grand
- 9:53and been out the door.
- 9:56I'll be helping children, all right.
- 9:59I'll be helping your children.
- 10:04These dinosaur nuggets ain't
- 10:06cheap out here.
- 10:07No.
- 10:07You got to go to Costco for
- 10:08the dino nuggets, though.
- 10:10Oh, Costco sees a lot of my money.
- 10:13Yeah, they do.
- 10:14You know what didn't see a
- 10:15lot of you was the CrossFit gym today.
- 10:18It's true.
- 10:21I got a double dip this weekend,
- 10:24a little run.
- 10:25Oh, pump and run.
- 10:28A little open.
- 10:31Oh, yeah.
- 10:31You have the open and the pump and run.
- 10:33That's right.
- 10:34So the key is just don't
- 10:36train all week and then
- 10:39dive all the way in.
- 10:40It's worked out well for me in the past.
- 10:43Scott knows.
- 10:44Yeah.
- 10:49How has it worked well?
- 10:52In what way?
- 10:54Well, I didn't die.
- 10:55So there's that.
- 10:56I'm already a leg up.
- 11:00Usually it ends with your
- 11:01wife yelling at you.
- 11:06And then you either in the
- 11:08hot ER or laying on the
- 11:11floor rolling around.
- 11:12Yep.
- 11:16All wins.
- 11:17All wins.
- 11:21This year,
- 11:22I got Corey I got to take care of, so.
- 11:26Yeah.
- 11:27Okay.
- 11:28He's not ready.
- 11:30So we got the open this week,
- 11:32and we put out some reels
- 11:34this weekend with
- 11:36everybody's kind of first open.
- 11:38So I wanted to ask, you know,
- 11:40as we're going into this open,
- 11:42what is your favorite open memory?
- 11:48And I can go while you think.
- 11:50Okay, yeah.
- 11:52So it's funny because you
- 11:54and Kat really got me fired
- 11:56up because my favorite open
- 11:58memory was 2014.
- 11:58I remember exactly what it was.
- 12:02Yep.
- 12:02It was 14.3,
- 12:03the deadlift box jump workout.
- 12:06I lifted weight that I had
- 12:08never lifted before,
- 12:09like 12 times in that workout.
- 12:12And I went toe to toe with
- 12:15Bob Harper from The Biggest Loser.
- 12:18Not actually in person.
- 12:20Right.
- 12:20But on the leaderboard.
- 12:21Yeah.
- 12:23And we were one rep apart.
- 12:26And I can't even remember if I won or lost,
- 12:29but I was one rep away from
- 12:31Bob Harper on that workout.
- 12:33And that was the highlight
- 12:35of all of my opens.
- 12:40I remember my favorite is
- 12:42probably it wasn't me.
- 12:46doing it but it was my son
- 12:48when he he was 16 and he
- 12:51got the 185 pound clean and
- 12:54that just like the picture
- 12:56of it is amazing like just
- 12:57because he failed it a
- 12:58couple times and then he
- 12:59made the lift and so I
- 13:01would say that's it now he
- 13:04works out with that yeah
- 13:06now he's a large larger
- 13:09individual I think it was
- 13:11because of his judge I think so
- 13:15Yeah, hold on.
- 13:16Let me, I'm gonna,
- 13:17I gotta check on something real quick.
- 13:18Sorry.
- 13:21One of my favorites is
- 13:22seeing people who are
- 13:24consistently on the top of
- 13:27the leaderboard throughout the year,
- 13:32every single week of the year.
- 13:36And then all of a sudden
- 13:37they just disappear.
- 13:39It's good times.
- 13:46Our, our opens were full of those people.
- 13:52Yeah.
- 13:52All of a sudden something, there's a,
- 13:55maybe it's a shoulder, maybe it's a knee.
- 13:59Maybe.
- 14:01What,
- 14:01did you ever find out what year you
- 14:02started Charlie?
- 14:05No.
- 14:05I'm going to go look for it
- 14:06right now while we're talking.
- 14:10And apparently Charlie has
- 14:11no documented proof that he
- 14:13ever existed in the open.
- 14:15Did you already look?
- 14:16Because we have no pictures, no videos.
- 14:18Oh, yeah.
- 14:19To be able to do a reel on Charlie.
- 14:21Well,
- 14:21I think I can find it if we... I just
- 14:24need to know what year he started.
- 14:26I believe it was 16.
- 14:26Okay.
- 14:29Well, we're going to confirm.
- 14:32So with this year's open...
- 14:35I've already announced that
- 14:36I'm not going to be able to
- 14:37do it this year.
- 14:39I did 11 in a row.
- 14:42This would have been my 12th year.
- 14:44I am not able to do it.
- 14:47What are your plans for the weekend?
- 14:49Wait a minute.
- 14:50Why are we not doing this?
- 14:52Work minimum?
- 14:53You're going to just ruin your streak?
- 14:57So you're saying I should pay $20, roll in,
- 15:00do one rep, and then call it a day?
- 15:03Yeah.
- 15:03Yeah.
- 15:05You're going to start over at zero again?
- 15:08Come on.
- 15:11Charlie,
- 15:12I don't know if you ever
- 15:13officially signed up for the workouts.
- 15:16When?
- 15:17Ever.
- 15:18I had to.
- 15:19Back then we did.
- 15:19Okay.
- 15:21I'm going to try again.
- 15:23Hold on.
- 15:24I'll go look at some point.
- 15:26Okay, fine.
- 15:27Here we go.
- 15:27I found you.
- 15:30So what's your guys' plan for the weekend?
- 15:352016 is correct.
- 15:36All right.
- 15:37I will look for your, I will look for.
- 15:40Since I have the race on Sunday morning,
- 15:45I won't be doing it Sunday.
- 15:47So I'm either going to have
- 15:47to go Saturday.
- 15:50Friday.
- 15:51Friday.
- 15:52You could do it Friday morning.
- 15:56Oh yeah.
- 15:56Then it gives me a chance to do it again.
- 15:58Cause why not get one more rep.
- 16:05And why at this stage?
- 16:06Like in these age divisions?
- 16:10Well,
- 16:11I also need to figure out when
- 16:12Corey's going so that I can
- 16:17get one more rep on that as well.
- 16:20Okay.
- 16:20Well,
- 16:20then it is worth going again if
- 16:22you're beating Corey.
- 16:23I forgot about that aspect.
- 16:25Mm-hmm.
- 16:25Mm-hmm.
- 16:25Mm-hmm.
- 16:26Yeah.
- 16:29Now he's going to put up a
- 16:30statement number,
- 16:31and then I'm going to
- 16:32question this judge.
- 16:32I'm going to just put that out there now.
- 16:36Yes, Scott.
- 16:38When are you planning on going?
- 16:39Because usually you go under
- 16:40the cover of darkness.
- 16:42I know.
- 16:43And sneak into the gym when
- 16:44nobody's watching.
- 16:44I know.
- 16:46Here's the deal, though.
- 16:47I actually have definitely
- 16:51feeling differently about
- 16:52the Open this year.
- 16:54In the past, I have been... Judy.
- 16:59It's been really important.
- 17:00My goal is to make quarterfinals.
- 17:04Um, that is not my goal this year.
- 17:07I,
- 17:07my goal is to do the open this year and
- 17:11that's what it is.
- 17:12So I actually,
- 17:13I'm feeling less nervous about it,
- 17:14more excited.
- 17:15Like I'm just here to do the open.
- 17:18I have other goals outside
- 17:20of the gym right now,
- 17:21which I'm hoping in a
- 17:28I'm training, and I'm showing up.
- 17:32We're fighting again.
- 17:33We're fighting again?
- 17:35You're fine.
- 17:36Nope.
- 17:37I don't know them, so we're fighting.
- 17:38You do know what they are.
- 17:39You're just not thinking about it,
- 17:40and we're not talking about
- 17:41it on the podcast.
- 17:42Okay, fine.
- 17:44Yeah.
- 17:48Okay.
- 17:49Yeah.
- 17:49So... Are we on the... So, just...
- 17:57Sorry.
- 17:57So just to let everybody know, um,
- 18:00in years past,
- 18:01we would try to do a show
- 18:02during the open
- 18:03announcement and kind of react to it.
- 18:06Um, we're not doing that this year.
- 18:08There's a lot of people doing that.
- 18:09We're going to lay back just
- 18:11to our normal Thursday
- 18:12night show and kind of go
- 18:13over it at that point.
- 18:15Um, and then what I would like to do is,
- 18:18um,
- 18:22get some look-ins at
- 18:23people's open workouts from
- 18:24our crew where we get some
- 18:27video and show that over the weekend.
- 18:30So if so inclined, Amy and Charlie,
- 18:34the train wreck, we will, we can do that.
- 18:38Um, hopefully throughout,
- 18:40throughout the weekends of the open,
- 18:42it doesn't have to be all beef week one,
- 18:44but just periodically just
- 18:46to kind of do that and talk
- 18:47about what the open is and
- 18:50what it does for us.
- 18:51So it's a cool way to kind
- 18:53of look at average Joe's
- 18:55out there hustling.
- 18:56Well,
- 18:57I'm definitely going to talk to my
- 19:01paparazzi and see if they
- 19:02can go ahead and, you know,
- 19:03do some filming or
- 19:04something like that so that we can, yeah,
- 19:06I'll talk to that, to that guy.
- 19:10Maybe I could even scoot
- 19:11over and shoot you with a camera.
- 19:19Then you can just get your
- 19:22one rep in and call it a open.
- 19:28I'm not letting you break this streak,
- 19:29buddy.
- 19:29Let's see what the workout
- 19:30is and then we'll decide.
- 19:32What does it matter?
- 19:33Yeah.
- 19:36Yeah.
- 19:38I've got like 95% of my friends saying,
- 19:41you need to take care of you.
- 19:42You need to get your health in order.
- 19:45Charlie's like, screw all that.
- 19:47Sacrifice it all for the Open.
- 19:49Yeah.
- 19:50I mean, what if it is one burpee?
- 19:51You could climb down onto
- 19:53the ground and get back up.
- 19:56That I could do.
- 19:57Right.
- 19:57But if it's like deadlift 225 pounds,
- 20:00probably not.
- 20:01Okay.
- 20:02So let's see what it is,
- 20:03and then let's talk.
- 20:05He's not from Chicago.
- 20:06No.
- 20:07I'm not.
- 20:09He just thinks he is.
- 20:14So the Arnold we have going
- 20:15on this weekend in Columbus.
- 20:17Yeah.
- 20:18We have a prospective
- 20:19sponsor who is giving us a
- 20:23podcast center in their
- 20:26apparel booth at the Arnold
- 20:28for us to interview people.
- 20:29We are going to try to.
- 20:32If I feel okay,
- 20:33go down and do some interviews.
- 20:35Charlie has agreed to do some.
- 20:39Jamie is going down on
- 20:40Saturday to do some.
- 20:41Oh, she is?
- 20:43Yeah.
- 20:44Okay.
- 20:45And if Amy wants to go, we have tickets.
- 20:50And Andrew Sten is lifting,
- 20:51so that could be someone we
- 20:53interview during the Olympic lifting.
- 20:57We know Kat and her son are coming.
- 20:59Correct.
- 21:00Correct.
- 21:01With all that,
- 21:02we're hoping to get a
- 21:02handful of interviews.
- 21:04They built us.
- 21:06And what's cool is they've
- 21:08got a shirts already.
- 21:10They're going to get us some
- 21:11more apparel kit for us.
- 21:14And then they're looking to
- 21:16maybe sell some merch for us,
- 21:21which would be cool.
- 21:22Yeah.
- 21:23And I have someone working on a new design,
- 21:26like an alternate design.
- 21:28based on WAD Zombies AI
- 21:30version of our logo, but less nipple.
- 21:37When has that ever been better?
- 21:43I got to go.
- 21:44I got to go.
- 21:44I got to go.
- 21:45I'm comfortable.
- 21:50And then Charlie's doing the
- 21:51pump and run on Sunday.
- 21:54And that is,
- 21:54if you don't know what a pump and run is,
- 21:56it is you bench,
- 21:58get as many reps as you can.
- 21:59Is it at body weight or at 225?
- 22:03At your body weight.
- 22:04At your body weight.
- 22:06And then depending on how
- 22:07many reps you get, that is,
- 22:11they take that off of your
- 22:12time for the 5K?
- 22:13Yep.
- 22:18So.
- 22:18I have two questions.
- 22:21Is it one unbroken set?
- 22:24Yes.
- 22:25Generally.
- 22:28So last year at Polaris, during that time,
- 22:32we did a pump and row.
- 22:35So the same thing, you bench,
- 22:37and then you rode 2,000 meters,
- 22:40and you got 10 seconds
- 22:41taken off for every rep of bench you got.
- 22:47My follow-up question to that is, Charlie,
- 22:52how much running have you done?
- 22:56So in a
- 22:57The year I've run twice.
- 22:58So we really want to see if
- 23:00this CrossFit thing really
- 23:02adapts to the rest of the world.
- 23:06But you do have a bionic hip.
- 23:08I do.
- 23:09I'll turn that on a simmer.
- 23:13So I've known you now, what, eight,
- 23:16nine years, Charlie?
- 23:17Yep.
- 23:18Are we going to go with the slow –
- 23:23And back and forth with the shuffle feet?
- 23:26No.
- 23:27For most of that 5K?
- 23:28No.
- 23:29We're going to a hot,
- 23:30full sprint first hundred.
- 23:32Don't tear your shit.
- 23:34So you get that picture in
- 23:35the crowd and you see, oh,
- 23:37who's this guy in the front?
- 23:42And then you get the finish
- 23:45line video of another full sprint.
- 23:48Like, oh, this dude is coming in hot.
- 23:52And what about the in-betweens?
- 23:53Don't worry about those.
- 23:57I am most worried about those.
- 23:59I might be in a cab.
- 24:00I don't really know yet.
- 24:03Well,
- 24:03I just checked the weather and it's
- 24:0565 and sunny for Sunday.
- 24:08And that's a good thing.
- 24:10Or if it was snowing,
- 24:12you would not have seen me out there.
- 24:15Why isn't Charlie doing the pumping room?
- 24:17Well, it snowed today.
- 24:19it's below 60 so so speaking
- 24:22of that scott the other day
- 24:25charlie and I were texting
- 24:26and we were asking about
- 24:29his running and he said
- 24:30it's snowing outside I'm
- 24:31not that's that's how
- 24:33people hurt themselves as
- 24:35is out to hurt themselves
- 24:36okay my rebuttal was
- 24:39actually doing a race and
- 24:41not training is how people
- 24:44hurt themselves
- 24:48Listen,
- 24:49if I can't run three miles after
- 24:51doing CrossFit,
- 24:53then we have larger issues.
- 24:55You can run it.
- 24:58So I would agree with you if
- 25:01the word consistency
- 25:02consistently was in front of CrossFit.
- 25:07You always got to bring
- 25:08technicalities onto this podcast.
- 25:10I'm about tired of it.
- 25:13I'm about tired of being called out here.
- 25:19Yeah.
- 25:19I mean,
- 25:20you'll definitely be able to do it.
- 25:23I'll do it.
- 25:24Yeah.
- 25:26Listen,
- 25:26we're going to get a home run on
- 25:28the bench,
- 25:28just to be completely blown up
- 25:31for doing 30 reps.
- 25:33And then... But then you
- 25:35don't have to go right away.
- 25:36Is that correct?
- 25:38I believe that to be correct.
- 25:40Okay.
- 25:41But I think I'd rather just go.
- 25:43So where are you sitting weight-wise?
- 25:48Oh, about 205.
- 25:48Ooh.
- 25:52I was saying if you were sub two, man,
- 25:54you could crank out some bench.
- 25:55No, I'm not really 205.
- 25:56I'm like 175.
- 25:58I was going to say.
- 25:59Okay.
- 26:00I just can't.
- 26:01Well, 175, man, you should like, like,
- 26:06I do have to give you,
- 26:07you are one of the best
- 26:09bench press people I've been around.
- 26:12Like you should rep out that.
- 26:15At a pretty good clip at 175.
- 26:16Well, for sure.
- 26:18Part of that reason is,
- 26:19is because his shoulders
- 26:21are permanently internally rotated.
- 26:23And I've been this long.
- 26:31Part of my daily routine,
- 26:33but you know what?
- 26:33There's a lot of things we
- 26:36should be doing.
- 26:40No, Charlie is going to crush it.
- 26:41We're just talking smack because it's fun.
- 26:44But he's going to crush it.
- 26:46Yeah.
- 26:48And where are they holding that?
- 26:49Are they holding that at the
- 26:50convention center or in the park?
- 26:53I couldn't tell you.
- 26:55Just minor detail.
- 26:57I'm just going to walk
- 26:58around and hope I see
- 26:59people running and then just fill in.
- 27:03Hop on a bench.
- 27:04Excuse me.
- 27:08Yeah, you guys.
- 27:09You guys done here?
- 27:09I need this.
- 27:12Oh, good Lord.
- 27:14All right.
- 27:15Well, just as out there,
- 27:19Dave Castro put out a
- 27:20picture of a mushroom.
- 27:22A mushroom hand?
- 27:23That's weird.
- 27:24So he did say on his week in
- 27:26review that that mushroom
- 27:27was real and it was
- 27:28actually on the ranch.
- 27:30And he went to pick it to use it as a demo,
- 27:35like a
- 27:36prop for the open
- 27:38announcement this week and
- 27:40it was gone so he doesn't
- 27:44have the prop so he's just
- 27:45going to have to do the
- 27:46open announcement without
- 27:47it but does the mushroom
- 27:50tell you anything because
- 27:53people be talking and what
- 27:57I want to know has any of
- 27:58the clues ever made sense
- 28:00have we ever gone back and
- 28:01looked and said oh this
- 28:03made sense to what it was
- 28:06They make something around about Ray.
- 28:09Like, oh, okay.
- 28:10Yeah.
- 28:11I guess I could see that.
- 28:13Cause I heard a couple of
- 28:15things where one person was like, well,
- 28:18if you eat shrooms, you're tripping.
- 28:21So it's double unders.
- 28:24And then, um, you know,
- 28:26Mario jumps on top of a box
- 28:29and to box to grow bigger
- 28:31with the mushroom.
- 28:32So it's gotta be box jumps, you know?
- 28:35So, I mean,
- 28:38Yeah, I think, like I said last week,
- 28:43I think it's 14.3,
- 28:47my favorite workout again,
- 28:49because of increasing weight,
- 28:51decreasing reps.
- 28:55I did like that one.
- 28:56I'd be cool with that.
- 28:56That'd be great.
- 28:58It's like an arrow point up?
- 29:02I'm not even saying that.
- 29:03What was 14.3?
- 29:05It was box jumps and
- 29:08deadlifts but couldn't you
- 29:09could could you box could
- 29:11you do step ups you could
- 29:13okay that's what I
- 29:14remembered yeah tall yeah
- 29:16it was very like um it was
- 29:20very open like anybody
- 29:22could do it right because
- 29:23you could step up and and
- 29:25the the weight started it
- 29:27for men at like 135 um and
- 29:30then it went up pretty
- 29:32rapidly to where like I
- 29:34think like I ended up at 315 or something
- 29:38In that workout?
- 29:41Carolyn, I hope it's not.
- 29:49Somebody said seven minutes of burpees.
- 29:51I would rather seven minutes
- 29:52of burpee than ten minutes
- 29:53of max burpee box jump overs.
- 29:55You're going to hurt your mushroom head.
- 29:58You will hurt that.
- 30:02Carolyn's choice is not
- 30:03popular in the crowd.
- 30:06No, it was.
- 30:06Here's what it was.
- 30:08It was in eight minutes,
- 30:1210 deadlifts at 135 and 95, 15 box jumps,
- 30:1315 deadlifts, 185, 135, 15 box jumps,
- 30:1520 deadlifts, 225, 185, 15 box jumps,
- 30:1725 deadlifts at 275, 185.
- 30:3015 box jumps, then 30 at 315 and 205.
- 30:34That's where you were talking about.
- 30:3715 box jumps and then 365 and 225.
- 30:40For the box jumps,
- 30:43athletes may jump or step
- 30:44up as long as both feet
- 30:46start on the ground and
- 30:46both feet end on the box in control.
- 30:52And that's when everybody
- 30:52started stepping up on the corner.
- 30:54Yeah.
- 30:55Which they've since outlawed, correct?
- 30:57Yeah.
- 30:59Oh, yeah.
- 31:00But I still think it's a
- 31:01good method to do step ups.
- 31:06Yeah.
- 31:08So I do have a change of
- 31:11subject real quick.
- 31:13I just finished behind the scenes,
- 31:15but I wanted to ask you, Amy,
- 31:17did you get a chance to
- 31:17watch the Haley video?
- 31:19I've been watching it.
- 31:20I'm not done, but I really like it.
- 31:23It is so good.
- 31:24It is very good.
- 31:26I'm I think I'm a little
- 31:28more than halfway through
- 31:29but I'm going to finish it
- 31:30today it's it's very um I
- 31:33think it's very well done
- 31:35um and yeah it's it's an
- 31:38interesting insight into
- 31:40into her um and her growing
- 31:43up and and training and
- 31:47There's a piece right before
- 31:48the end where like,
- 31:51where like he brings it all
- 31:52around and kind of does a
- 31:55synopsis with her and she
- 31:57starts tearing up and it is.
- 31:59Oh, good.
- 32:04That's what we're just talking about,
- 32:05Andrew.
- 32:06I think it is the best piece
- 32:09of content that's come out
- 32:11from CrossFit in 10 years.
- 32:14Yeah.
- 32:15Okay.
- 32:17Good.
- 32:17Well,
- 32:17let's give Bill some good props for
- 32:19that because this is on his YouTube.
- 32:24Yeah.
- 32:26So if you have not seen it,
- 32:28please go check it out.
- 32:29It is really good.
- 32:32Highly endorse that.
- 32:35I also finished Behind the Scenes.
- 32:36I know that the free
- 32:37versions are catching up pretty quickly.
- 32:39Yeah, they are.
- 32:42And, but what I will say is, man, I forgot,
- 32:45like,
- 32:46like I made a wild statement on
- 32:48Thursday night, not one, I believe.
- 32:50And I've been making this
- 32:52call that Emma Lawson will
- 32:53win the games this year.
- 32:55And I think she will shock the world,
- 32:56beat Tia and Laura.
- 32:58Okay.
- 32:59Then I watched the behind
- 33:00the scenes and I forgot she
- 33:01had the leaders Jersey
- 33:02until the last event.
- 33:04Alexis Raptors had it too early on.
- 33:08Yeah.
- 33:08Early on like day one.
- 33:10but emma had it for the
- 33:11whole middle of the
- 33:12competition and laura
- 33:14didn't get it back until
- 33:15the last event or didn't
- 33:16get it until the last event
- 33:18and if you think laura has
- 33:19a shot then you got to
- 33:20think emma has a shot
- 33:22because people have said
- 33:24that I'm crazy for the pick
- 33:25a few people have given me
- 33:27kudos but um but yeah that
- 33:31was pretty crazy to me I
- 33:33just forgot that that she
- 33:34was in the lead that far
- 33:36into the games yeah how
- 33:38does anyone say she doesn't have a shot
- 33:42So it started with Will
- 33:43Branstetter made the
- 33:45comment for the barbell
- 33:48spin pole that if you put Emma first,
- 33:51you should be kicked out of the pole.
- 33:53If you didn't put Tia first,
- 33:55you should be kicked out of the pole.
- 33:56Oh.
- 33:57Well,
- 33:57it's been two years since Tia set
- 33:59foot on the floor.
- 34:01So much can happen.
- 34:02And just like that,
- 34:03all of a sudden we get
- 34:04clips of her in a wrist
- 34:05brace going into the first
- 34:08week of the Open.
- 34:09Oh.
- 34:11Wow.
- 34:12She'll get through the open.
- 34:16Yeah, but what's wrong with her wrist?
- 34:20Is it going to affect her at some point?
- 34:23And I'm not saying that it is.
- 34:25I'm just saying nobody knows
- 34:26when that stuff's going to happen.
- 34:28So to make a blanket
- 34:29statement that a person is
- 34:31definitely going to win, it's sports.
- 34:34Stuff happens.
- 34:35Yeah.
- 34:36Roman.
- 34:38Right.
- 34:38Well,
- 34:42Which poll are we talking about?
- 34:47Yeah.
- 34:51Okay.
- 34:52Apparently this,
- 34:54the poll where they're
- 34:55talking about Alexis Raptus' mom,
- 34:57that poll is the only one
- 34:59that Amy Kringle has a shot on.
- 35:00Wait a minute.
- 35:05Wait a minute.
- 35:07I haven't seen the mom yet.
- 35:11because I know you're a fan
- 35:12of the daughter a huge fan
- 35:17yeah great athlete so um
- 35:25the last thing I wanted to
- 35:26bring up and that is just
- 35:27because they're a partner
- 35:27of ours um the teams have
- 35:30made an announcement that
- 35:31they have a venue for the
- 35:32games um and it is pretty
- 35:35sick so I'm going to share
- 35:36my screen super quick
- 35:41This is their new home.
- 35:43So of the three days of the
- 35:46teen CrossFit games, or four days,
- 35:48I can't remember,
- 35:50most of them will be at
- 35:51this arena in Kalamazoo, Michigan.
- 35:56It's a minor league hockey arena.
- 35:58So the teens get a jumbotron.
- 36:01They get an arena to hang out in.
- 36:05And then one day we'll be at
- 36:07the pit where it's an old –
- 36:11uh, gravel quarry, um,
- 36:13that they've been holding the pit at,
- 36:14or the,
- 36:15the pit throw down at for the last
- 36:17four years.
- 36:18So one day like outdoor events at the pit,
- 36:21the rest of it here in this arena.
- 36:23Um, so super stoked for them, uh,
- 36:27that they'll get to have that as a,
- 36:30as a teen athlete.
- 36:31And I heard rumor.
- 36:33I don't know if it's true
- 36:34that they got go rock as
- 36:36their apparel sponsor.
- 36:38So the teams are going to
- 36:39get outfitted pretty good.
- 36:40Um,
- 36:41Um, but yeah,
- 36:44so super stoked for the teens.
- 36:47Um, and that,
- 36:48that's a big move for them to have that.
- 36:51It's not a massive arena.
- 36:52It's just a little one,
- 36:53which is what they need for
- 36:54what they're doing.
- 36:55Right.
- 36:56They don't need 10,000 seats.
- 36:58They need a couple thousand
- 37:00and to make the kids feel special.
- 37:05So super stoked for them and
- 37:08shout out to Stephanie and
- 37:09Brock for pulling that off.
- 37:11Looks awesome.
- 37:14Yeah.
- 37:16So other than that, good luck this week.
- 37:19Thanks.

- 37:25Good luck to me.
