Transcript
- 0:04so much has broken in the last fifteen
- 0:06to twenty minutes.
- 0:08We're going to talk about
- 0:20I love the chase and the hunt,
- 0:22and I set the pace when I'm running.
- 0:23I always take what I want,
- 0:25and I always give it one hundred.
- 0:26Don't need a bank, no I'm funded.
- 0:28Play the game like it's nothing.
- 0:29I'm always thankful for something.
- 0:31Don't take for granted, stay humble.
- 0:32Now wake up!
- 0:34It's time to look at the enemy.
- 0:36Look in the mirror if he is no
- 0:38friend to me.
- 0:39It's not working out,
- 0:40maybe it's the chemistry.
- 0:42It's time to break up so I can
- 0:43make a better me.
- 0:44D-E-M-M-E!
- 0:49It's lunchtime.
- 0:51It is just that.
- 0:53It is lunchtime.
- 0:54Lunch with the Clydesdale and the Cowboy.
- 0:59We are here live on a Friday afternoon.
- 1:01So good to be with you all.
- 1:05Helson Abernaz says, great day.
- 1:08Dad and mom hashing it out on Savan.
- 1:10Arnold Classic going on.
- 1:12Seven hundred and one pound deadlift for
- 1:13the women's record.
- 1:15And it's Friday.
- 1:16Let's go.
- 1:17Seven hundred and one pounds.
- 1:20So I've had marathon meetings this
- 1:22morning.
- 1:24So I have not been able to tune
- 1:25into the Arnold.
- 1:27I will.
- 1:28I'll go back and watch it.
- 1:30As you should.
- 1:31However,
- 1:32the one thing I am assuring you of,
- 1:36I am going nowhere near downtown Columbus.
- 1:39I would imagine not.
- 1:42There's like a force field bubble over
- 1:45that says Scott will not enter this area
- 1:49of Columbus this weekend.
- 1:53I don't blame you, dude.
- 1:54I don't like that many people.
- 1:56I just don't.
- 1:58It is one of the coolest events to
- 2:00come to this town.
- 2:01And if you live here and you've never
- 2:03gone, you should go one time.
- 2:05Right.
- 2:06I've gone eight.
- 2:08I am done.
- 2:09I feel like you've, yeah,
- 2:10you've hit your quota.
- 2:11Yeah, I, yeah.
- 2:14My daughter wanted to go watch the Strong
- 2:16Women one year.
- 2:17We went.
- 2:17It took us an hour to get from
- 2:19the front door to the stage where the
- 2:22Strong Women were competing.
- 2:24Mm-mm.
- 2:26Yeah.
- 2:27Thank you.
- 2:28Yeah.
- 2:29It was, it was horrific.
- 2:32Yeah.
- 2:32Horrific.
- 2:32Like I'm, I'm not okay with that.
- 2:36I'm just telling you right now,
- 2:38I would not be okay with that.
- 2:40And back when, when I took her,
- 2:41it was like, it was like,
- 2:42it was like, it was like,
- 2:43it was like, it was like,
- 2:44it was like, it was like,
- 2:44it was like, it was like,
- 2:45it was like, it was like,
- 2:46it was like, it was like,
- 2:47it was like, it was like, yeah,
- 2:48that's even, that's just, you just adding,
- 2:49you just stacking reasons on top of
- 2:50reasons at that point.
- 2:52And they've moved the Strongman and
- 2:53Strongwomen to a back corner where I think
- 2:58you have to pay extra to get into
- 2:59that section now.
- 3:01It's always been if you wanted to go
- 3:03to the finals of the bodybuilding show,
- 3:07you had to pay extra.
- 3:09But now Strongman has gotten so big at
- 3:12the Arnold that it is now, I think,
- 3:15an extra ticket to get into that.
- 3:18And I just threw my phone on the
- 3:19floor.
- 3:20Well...
- 3:21I don't think you're going to need it
- 3:22right now, to be honest with you.
- 3:24Yeah, no thanks.
- 3:26No thanks.
- 3:27That sounds like the equivalent of me
- 3:28going downtown New Orleans for Mardi Gras.
- 3:31Like, I'm just not doing it.
- 3:32Too many people, too much stuff going on,
- 3:35too much money to get there,
- 3:37just to even get there.
- 3:38I'm good.
- 3:39I don't need it.
- 3:40It's fine.
- 3:40I'll be just fine.
- 3:43Yeah.
- 3:43Stens has been there so many times.
- 3:45Didn't go last year.
- 3:46Thought about going this year,
- 3:47but it's too expensive.
- 3:49Then driving and paying for parking.
- 3:50Yeah.
- 3:51It really is.
- 3:53And there's a lot of parking at the
- 3:55convention center,
- 3:57and there's a lot of parking around the
- 3:58convention center.
- 4:00But the parking is not designed for the
- 4:03number of people that show up for the
- 4:05Arnold.
- 4:06I'm sure it's not.
- 4:08It's better just to Uber.
- 4:10And then you got to pay like the
- 4:12higher Uber price because everybody's
- 4:14trying to get there.
- 4:15Because it's a premium event.
- 4:19Well, yeah.
- 4:20And so now it's, well,
- 4:21you want to get there.
- 4:22Oh,
- 4:23like normally this is an eight dollar
- 4:24ride, but today it's yeah.
- 4:26A hundred percent.
- 4:26No, thanks.
- 4:27I'm good.
- 4:28I'm good.
- 4:32Enough about the Arnold.
- 4:33Well,
- 4:33maybe we'll talk about that in the slow
- 4:36times of next week, but right.
- 4:38Um, but yeah, it's kicked off today.
- 4:41Tons of athletes in town.
- 4:44Good luck to all of them.
- 4:45Hope they do great in their events.
- 4:47Uh,
- 4:50Yesterday was twenty six point two
- 4:51announcement.
- 4:53Like it.
- 4:54Love it.
- 4:55Want some more of it.
- 4:55I don't want to jinx myself,
- 5:02but they almost could not have written a
- 5:05better workout for me.
- 5:08Like the only way it could have been
- 5:09better is if it had been a barbell
- 5:10with front squats and a front rack walking
- 5:12lunge instead of instead of a dumbbell
- 5:14snatches.
- 5:17Yeah, I like it a lot.
- 5:18I told several people I might do it
- 5:20again just for funsies after I do it
- 5:22this afternoon,
- 5:23just because it looks like it's fun.
- 5:26I love doing gymnastics.
- 5:29In general, I like the idea of the,
- 5:32you know,
- 5:33earn your way towards your ring
- 5:34muscle-ups.
- 5:35I love,
- 5:36I have been working on ring muscle-ups
- 5:37since the last time we had them,
- 5:40and I could not get over the rings.
- 5:43And at that point, I said,
- 5:44I'm never going to let this beat me
- 5:46again in a live workout.
- 5:50And I've only had the opportunity to
- 5:52actually do them in live competition one
- 5:54weekend before
- 5:56A year and a half ago,
- 5:57whenever that was,
- 5:58the last time I did beach brawl because
- 6:01Ryan actually programmed them for that
- 6:03weekend.
- 6:04Every other time,
- 6:05it's always end up being bar.
- 6:07So I'm pretty pumped.
- 6:11Uh,
- 6:12this is one that's a redoable one anyway,
- 6:14right?
- 6:14It's not,
- 6:15it's not going to rip you up that
- 6:17you can't come back and try it two
- 6:19or three more times.
- 6:20A hundred percent.
- 6:22I could, in theory,
- 6:23I could do this today, tomorrow, Sunday,
- 6:26and Monday if I wanted to,
- 6:27and really not be that worse, uh,
- 6:29that much worse off for it.
- 6:32know you probably your shoulders will
- 6:33probably get a little feel feel a little
- 6:36something you know and if you're not a
- 6:38fantastic lunger you know then yeah maybe
- 6:41you might get a little sore from that
- 6:42but it's it's quick it's gonna be over
- 6:46it's gonna be over quickly i'm i'm fine
- 6:51i'm fine i love it dude
- 6:55So I know people are hitting the comments.
- 6:57I know you throw,
- 6:58people are throwing news at us.
- 6:59We we've got it all.
- 7:00Yeah.
- 7:02Yeah.
- 7:05So.
- 7:07The lunge is really only three,
- 7:08eighty foot lunges.
- 7:09Yeah, it's two hundred forty feet.
- 7:11It's not that it's not even that's not
- 7:13even like a big.
- 7:15Yeah,
- 7:15we did a lot of squats last week.
- 7:17I think that this is this is something
- 7:19that is not going to create enough
- 7:22disturbance for you to have to redo.
- 7:24No.
- 7:25And so now my question is,
- 7:28yesterday you called Lucy Campbell to win.
- 7:31It got tight.
- 7:32It got tight.
- 7:33Amy Kringle came out of nowhere with a
- 7:37pretty good set of ring muscle-ups to
- 7:39catch up,
- 7:40but she just couldn't make up enough
- 7:42ground to get the win.
- 7:46I said in my group chat with Carolyn
- 7:48and Jamie and Lex that I think those
- 7:52are pretty good times.
- 7:53They initially told me, no way.
- 7:57This morning I get a text from Carolyn
- 7:59going, it might've been right.
- 8:04Turns out maybe it was actually a good
- 8:06time.
- 8:07Yeah.
- 8:08Yeah.
- 8:08When the second place girl at the games
- 8:12wins the open workout right there, a lot,
- 8:13you know, the Wednesday announcement live,
- 8:15then it's probably going to be a pretty
- 8:17decent time.
- 8:19Just, just throwing that out there.
- 8:22Just doing that as a, for instance, right.
- 8:25CJ this morning on the WOD Prep podcast
- 8:28contended that Miriam sucked her in.
- 8:32Yeah.
- 8:34She went faster on the first part than
- 8:35she wanted to.
- 8:37I don't know if she did it on
- 8:38purpose or
- 8:41necessarily like I don't know if that was
- 8:42her mindset like I'm gonna go super fast
- 8:44on these lunges and these these pull-ups
- 8:46and whatnot and try to bait these two
- 8:47girls into a race I don't know if
- 8:49that's necessarily her mindset because I
- 8:50don't know her that well but I would
- 8:52definitely say that that that's ended
- 8:54ended up what happened right because like
- 8:57when she got no repped on that on
- 8:59that lunge and she had to go and
- 9:01do the whole section again she was still
- 9:03in the fight like that's how fast she
- 9:06was going
- 9:08That's insane, right?
- 9:10I think that's just how fast Mira moves.
- 9:14I don't think it was a strategy to
- 9:16go that fast and bait people in.
- 9:18I think that is just how she moves.
- 9:20And she knows she was the weakest of
- 9:23the three on the ring muscle-up.
- 9:25So get a lead and try to hang
- 9:27on.
- 9:28Yeah.
- 9:29Do what you can.
- 9:29Like, I mean,
- 9:30she's trying to maximize her score at that
- 9:31point as well.
- 9:32And it's like they were talking about this
- 9:34morning.
- 9:34It's,
- 9:35it's not a secret that she is her
- 9:37ring muscle up capacity is not fantastic
- 9:38for any elite athlete.
- 9:41Yeah.
- 9:42So let's hit a couple comments.
- 9:43Trish says,
- 9:44most fun open workout in recent memory and
- 9:47easy to redo.
- 9:49Looks like a fun one.
- 9:52David just says, yo,
- 9:54he did it four hours ago and feels
- 9:56fine.
- 10:00How many times do you think the elites
- 10:02will try this to get the score they
- 10:04wanted?
- 10:04I think some elites don't care.
- 10:07they're gonna bang it out and move on
- 10:09and then i think some are trying to
- 10:11get win some cash and if they had
- 10:14a good score and a high placing on
- 10:16event one they're gonna do it enough to
- 10:20get a high placing for event two did
- 10:22you see colton carl colton's post from
- 10:25yesterday uh kind of again i was in
- 10:28tons of meetings today he said uh world
- 10:32record or nothing oh wow
- 10:40Just saying.
- 10:40Train all of.
- 10:41I felt real good this week,
- 10:42especially compared to last week.
- 10:45Yeah.
- 10:45And then Larry Young thought about trying
- 10:47practice ring muscle-ups,
- 10:48but think I'll just see what happens when
- 10:50I get to them.
- 10:51Definitely going to regret not working on
- 10:52them more.
- 10:53He's going to get some.
- 10:55I think he will.
- 10:55He's too strong, dude.
- 10:58He's too strong.
- 11:00And then Jay Burch just wants to stalk
- 11:02you this weekend and wants to know where
- 11:04you're going to be.
- 11:05Oh, no, because I said in theory.
- 11:07So he's being a smartass.
- 11:11Yes, I'm doing it in theory.
- 11:12He's optimistic about ring muscle-ups,
- 11:14but we'll see.
- 11:20Billy Bob Horton,
- 11:22twin brother of Billy Bob Thornton,
- 11:24says hoping to finish the rings.
- 11:28Yep.
- 11:32Without the no rep,
- 11:33it would have been close.
- 11:36No, because she fell apart on the rings.
- 11:41Compared to the other two,
- 11:42she fell apart on the rings.
- 11:50Trish says,
- 11:50bang it out and move on is how
- 11:51I met my first husband.
- 11:55Yeah.
- 11:55My wife.
- 11:56Understandable.
- 11:57All right.
- 12:00I was surprised muscle ups are in the
- 12:03older age groups.
- 12:04If you go to the games for the
- 12:07older athletes,
- 12:08what they are able to do today that
- 12:10they could not do two years ago will
- 12:14blow your mind.
- 12:16And it's gated.
- 12:18Everybody's going to get to play all the
- 12:20way up and you get to prove what
- 12:22you can do.
- 12:24And last year they, they, they,
- 12:28Well,
- 12:29wildly overcorrected because last year it
- 12:31was burpee pull ups instead of bar muscle
- 12:36ups for fifty five plus.
- 12:38And like I know for a fact,
- 12:40one of my best friends in the entire
- 12:41world,
- 12:42he was fifty five plus and is a
- 12:44ridiculous athlete, was highly upset.
- 12:48that because he can do he can bang
- 12:50out more muscle ups like it's not a
- 12:51big deal and they scaled them all the
- 12:53way down so like they the fact that
- 12:55dave listened this year and was like okay
- 12:59y'all want to do muscle ups cool let's
- 13:00do muscle ups yeah i i think last
- 13:04year they went too safe in the older
- 13:07age groups
- 13:10I would rather see it at,
- 13:13at this level.
- 13:14And then if you don't have a ring
- 13:16muscle up,
- 13:17get through the rest of it as fast
- 13:19as you freaking can.
- 13:20A hundred percent.
- 13:23So.
- 13:27Yeah.
- 13:28Why get upset?
- 13:28Because you can do the skill.
- 13:30You should be allowed to do the skill.
- 13:32And because if you've never done a burpee
- 13:33pull up,
- 13:34it's way worse than doing a bar muscle
- 13:36up.
- 13:37It's so much more work.
- 13:40So you're punishing the people who've been
- 13:42working on those skills for ever for as
- 13:46long as, as long as they have been,
- 13:47as opposed to, Hey,
- 13:49here's your pat on the back,
- 13:50go ahead and do your bar muscle ups.
- 13:52And if you can't do them and Hey,
- 13:53work on them, get better.
- 13:57And I think,
- 13:59I think the open sets the tone for
- 14:02the season.
- 14:04If you overscale at the open and,
- 14:08The people running the events forward tend
- 14:11to follow suit with whatever you have
- 14:14done.
- 14:15And I think that's the biggest key of
- 14:17the last couple years,
- 14:19if you follow the age groups,
- 14:21is that the people programming at the
- 14:24games followed suit.
- 14:26And there were tons of athletes who made
- 14:28it to the games,
- 14:29wanted a games experience,
- 14:31have skills that they want to show off,
- 14:33and didn't get the opportunity to do so.
- 14:36Yep.
- 14:37Absolutely.
- 14:39Absolutely.
- 14:41Yes, I would agree with that, David.
- 14:45Larry Young says, all I know,
- 14:47an AARP card toting,
- 14:49two hundred sixty five pound noob getting
- 14:51their first ring muscle up would be open
- 14:53magic.
- 14:54Just don't think I'll have it after all
- 14:56the pulling and shoulder fatigue.
- 14:58Well, not with that attitude, Larry.
- 15:02You're going to have a lot more time
- 15:03than you think you will,
- 15:04and you are a lot stronger than you
- 15:07– I've seen you do your practically strict
- 15:10bar muscle-ups, dude.
- 15:13Give yourself some more credit.
- 15:15Seriously.
- 15:17Or take a just Reese Littlewood do it.
- 15:23You said what I was thinking.
- 15:24I was like, Reese Witherspoon?
- 15:25Reese Witherspoon is doing the open.
- 15:27It's outstanding.
- 15:29Weed Home Alabama.
- 15:30Yes.
- 15:31Yes.
- 15:32No, Reese Littlewood did it,
- 15:34and she's amazing.
- 15:35We know she's amazing.
- 15:37She is quietly lurking to become one of
- 15:41the big athletes in space very, very soon.
- 15:45More power to her.
- 15:47And she has the right attitude and the
- 15:49right demeanor to just kill it.
- 15:54Love to see you.
- 15:55The thirty-five pound dumbbell is odd for
- 15:56fifty-five plus.
- 15:59It's what it was last year, David.
- 16:02So that part I think I'm okay with,
- 16:05especially with the upper shoulder
- 16:08mobility of an overhead.
- 16:11That is one thing that is not –
- 16:14you definitely see deteriorate as you get
- 16:19to the higher level of events is the
- 16:21shoulder mobility is –
- 16:25is awful as you get to the older
- 16:28age groups for sure um us old people
- 16:32just do not do enough mobility uh to
- 16:35keep that stuff in in play i'll say
- 16:38this too as far as that thirty five
- 16:40pound is concerned is that um for the
- 16:42people who on the upper side of that
- 16:46uh you just get to go faster
- 16:50Because it's lighter.
- 16:52So it hurts more because now you're going
- 16:55faster because it's lighter.
- 16:59I don't feel one way or the other
- 17:00about it, but I just,
- 17:01that's my very casual.
- 17:04I am not fifty five observation.
- 17:06Uh, David also says, once I finished,
- 17:08I may rethink my stance on the thirty
- 17:09five pounds.
- 17:11I am sure you will,
- 17:11because when I was younger,
- 17:13when I was in my forties and I
- 17:15would scale back and I would say,
- 17:16I'm strong enough to do that.
- 17:17And then I would lower the weight.
- 17:18I'm like,
- 17:19a good thing I did that because I
- 17:20would have that would have sucked at the
- 17:23higher weight.
- 17:24Last Wednesday,
- 17:25we had a workout at the gym that
- 17:27had devil's presses in it.
- 17:28It was like five at a time,
- 17:29but it was ten rounds.
- 17:30It was like fifty altogether.
- 17:32And we had programmed it with the
- 17:33thirty-fives, right, for dudes.
- 17:35And one of the guys in my class
- 17:36was like,
- 17:37when we normally use fifties for devil's
- 17:38press,
- 17:40And our head coach, like owner,
- 17:42is in there taking class.
- 17:44And he turned and looked at him and
- 17:45was like, hey, man, go for it.
- 17:47Nobody's going to stop you from grabbing
- 17:50the fifties.
- 17:51I said, why are you over there?
- 17:52You go ahead and get the seventies.
- 17:53If you're really feeling froggy about it,
- 17:55dog, go ahead and grab some.
- 17:56Like, trust me, you're going to be fine.
- 18:01Shanna thinks they should relax some of
- 18:02the standards for the older people,
- 18:04though.
- 18:04Like toes above the bar should be allowed
- 18:07in older age groups.
- 18:08Like a glide kip.
- 18:11I'm assuming that's what he's talking
- 18:12about.
- 18:12I get what you're saying.
- 18:16Okay.
- 18:17I thought she meant on a toes to
- 18:18bar.
- 18:19Like when I did my toes to the
- 18:20second bar.
- 18:21To the second bar.
- 18:22Yeah.
- 18:24It's just.
- 18:25It still didn't count.
- 18:26Extra work right there.
- 18:28Yeah.
- 18:30Larry says,
- 18:31John sent him a video from WOD prep.
- 18:33I'm like, bro, it's too late.
- 18:38Never too late.
- 18:39My best friend used to,
- 18:41he was every open workout.
- 18:43He'd come in going,
- 18:44just watch the video on YouTube.
- 18:46And then it would just jack him up
- 18:49because he's trying something he never
- 18:50tried before in the gym.
- 18:53But he always would dive into like,
- 18:56I found out how to do a better
- 18:57thruster.
- 18:58Okay, dude,
- 18:59we've only done like five thousand of them
- 19:01in the last three months.
- 19:03But now you got it.
- 19:04Now you got a new technique the day
- 19:06of the open workout.
- 19:10every time he would do it every time
- 19:14you let me know how that works day
- 19:15at home boy that's fantastic oh it was
- 19:21um if i could find some of the
- 19:22videos of like his first or second rep
- 19:25trying the new technique and it not even
- 19:27looking like a crossfit movement that's
- 19:32fantastic oh so do you think anybody's
- 19:35gonna beat the scores from yesterday
- 19:38I think anybody in a female side,
- 19:39do you want to beat the score from
- 19:40yesterday?
- 19:40Oh man.
- 19:43What was Lucy's time?
- 19:44Six something.
- 19:46I don't even,
- 19:47I don't even know the time.
- 19:48I just saw like, to me,
- 19:50it's all about the muscle ups and how
- 19:51fast you can get through them.
- 19:53It is.
- 19:53And yeah,
- 19:55her sets were pretty big and so i
- 19:58in my head the first thing that popped
- 20:01into my head was alex kazan because her
- 20:03upper body pulling is so strong and then
- 20:06i see emma lawson from lupe in here
- 20:08i think that's that's a strong pick uh
- 20:13i'll put it like this like this if
- 20:15anybody does it's gonna be few and far
- 20:17between i don't think there's gonna be
- 20:18like a ton of scores above them like
- 20:21maybe like the people you just mentioned
- 20:23like alex emma
- 20:27I'm trying to think if there's anybody
- 20:28else in there that maybe Paige Powers is
- 20:30ridiculous on the rings.
- 20:33So I think she's probably got a shot.
- 20:35Six fifty.
- 20:37Vicki helps us out with the six fifty.
- 20:41So I'll be lucky to get to the
- 20:43rings by six fifty.
- 20:47Yes,
- 20:48that's really all that like popped into my
- 20:50head of the top athletes.
- 20:54Daniel Brandon's really good at ring
- 20:55muscle ups, too.
- 20:58And her long strides on the lunges.
- 21:00The lunges could help her out, yeah.
- 21:05So I see Train Olive saying Ariel.
- 21:10I don't know if rings are really her
- 21:13bag.
- 21:14If it was handstand walks with this,
- 21:16I would give her a pretty good shot
- 21:18at it.
- 21:20I don't think she's the muscle-up person
- 21:22that Alex, Emma, and Danielle are.
- 21:27Or Paige.
- 21:28Or Paige.
- 21:32I don't even think I can go out
- 21:33Alexis.
- 21:34But I hear you, Vicky.
- 21:41So.
- 21:45DBE's overhead mobility is unmatched.
- 21:50Vicky says Paige is a great call.
- 21:54Paige is fit, dude.
- 21:55Like.
- 21:57mom strength,
- 21:58whatever you want to call it.
- 21:59Like she is roaring on the comeback trail
- 22:02after having that baby.
- 22:04In the, uh,
- 22:05water is wet and the sky is blue
- 22:08comment.
- 22:08Yeah.
- 22:09Would get the win on two, six, two,
- 22:10if not pregnant.
- 22:12Tia might get the win on two, six,
- 22:13two being pregnant.
- 22:15Like, yeah, no kidding.
- 22:18No kidding.
- 22:19In other news,
- 22:19the us postal service delivers mail.
- 22:22There we go.
- 22:22Um,
- 22:28Any dude you think will kill this?
- 22:31Colton is going to smash this.
- 22:34I'm trying to think of who else has
- 22:36got elite level ring muscle-ups.
- 22:40I don't know where Pat Vellner is with
- 22:42his heart stuff,
- 22:46but he would be my pick in any
- 22:48other year.
- 22:50Yeah, Pat Spritting, I mean,
- 22:51he was a gymnast,
- 22:52so it'd be kind of hard to root
- 22:54against him as far as that's concerned.
- 22:58Who else?
- 22:59We have Victor Hoffer.
- 23:00That's a good one.
- 23:01Victor's a ridiculous puller.
- 23:06Helson has Justin Medeiros.
- 23:09Ricky.
- 23:09Ricky.
- 23:12Ricky Mack, maybe.
- 23:13I don't put him in that elite, elite.
- 23:15But, I mean, he's good.
- 23:17I just keep thinking about him and Matt
- 23:20at the games doing ring muscle-ups
- 23:23side-by-side in that workout.
- 23:25And, like,
- 23:26he was a what-and-what with Matt up until
- 23:27he wasn't.
- 23:28And Matt was a ridiculous.
- 23:32So, yeah, maybe, maybe not.
- 23:36Jay Crouch, that's a good one, Vic.
- 23:37Yeah.
- 23:39I think Victor Hoffer is going to make
- 23:41my pick.
- 23:43I think Victor Hoffer is probably the pick
- 23:45for me.
- 23:46I still want to – just because I
- 23:49know – I say no,
- 23:51but just because of what I've seen Colton
- 23:53do, especially when underestimated, yes,
- 23:55he's got short legs.
- 23:57I understand that as far as the lunges
- 23:59are concerned.
- 23:59It just means he's got to take an
- 24:00extra step.
- 24:01Yeah,
- 24:01but he's going to knock out the first
- 24:04two matches so fast,
- 24:06and his snatches will be so fast.
- 24:09He's just so range of motion.
- 24:11If he can jump up and do a
- 24:14huge set right out the bat,
- 24:17I don't know if anybody's going to go
- 24:18and broke him.
- 24:21Jeff Adler, question mark?
- 24:24I think he'll be decent.
- 24:25I don't think he's going to be competing
- 24:27for a top time.
- 24:31Um,
- 24:31no is good at rings and he's short
- 24:32for other movements.
- 24:33I know is probably a decent pick.
- 24:37I just don't,
- 24:38I don't know how much he's willing to
- 24:39hurt.
- 24:40Like Colton will out hurt him.
- 24:42Colts can out hurt everybody.
- 24:45Like he's going to hold on.
- 24:46It doesn't matter what else has happened.
- 24:51So, okay.
- 24:55Yeah, because Victor Hoffer,
- 24:56the overhead mobility won't be even an
- 24:58issue for him at all in those lunges.
- 24:59It's just going to be getting down,
- 25:01and then he'll kill all the gymnastics
- 25:04movements.
- 25:08Yes,
- 25:08I'll take Victor Hoffer because I don't
- 25:11want to pick the same person everybody
- 25:13else is picking.
- 25:13Well, understandable.
- 25:16Understandable.
- 25:16My money's still on Colton.
- 25:19I'll flock in with the sheep.
- 25:20Not a big deal.
- 25:28Jody asks, speaking of Vellner,
- 25:29I'm curious if he'll get rejected to
- 25:31compete at the games with the contentious
- 25:34atmosphere post-Lazer.
- 25:36I think if a doctor signs off on
- 25:39his note, it won't matter.
- 25:40Yeah.
- 25:42The doctor's note thing,
- 25:43I still think it's hilarious because
- 25:47My actual PCP, not Jeremy,
- 25:50my physical therapist,
- 25:51is my wife's first cousin.
- 25:53So like, Dwayne,
- 25:54I need you to sign off on this
- 25:55thing so I can compete again.
- 25:57He'd be like, all right,
- 25:58send it to me.
- 26:01I understand the thought behind it,
- 26:03but it seems like a whole lot more
- 26:05of just a CYA than anything else.
- 26:09Speaking of that,
- 26:10I've been debating whether sharing this or
- 26:12not,
- 26:13because I have shared all my health stuff.
- 26:16But with everything going on,
- 26:18just so everybody knows,
- 26:20I went back into AFib through all these
- 26:22procedures I've gone through in the last
- 26:24month and a half.
- 26:26And...
- 26:28I've been really having a hard time in
- 26:29the last couple weeks keeping my heart
- 26:31rate down.
- 26:32And with that,
- 26:34I've been in communication with my
- 26:36cardiologist this week.
- 26:38And I have a CardiaMobile.
- 26:40I don't know if you guys have ever
- 26:41seen the commercial for that.
- 26:42It takes an EKG at your house.
- 26:45And I send him strips like all the
- 26:47time.
- 26:48And they're going to...
- 26:51They're going to do a cardio version next
- 26:53Friday for me to get me back into
- 26:55rhythm.
- 26:55And now that everything else is fixed,
- 26:57hoping that that is what like getting
- 27:00through all that will finally be done with
- 27:02this heart thing.
- 27:03So I feel for, for Pat,
- 27:05I know what it feels like when your
- 27:06heart rate jumps around and jumps up and
- 27:10And it, and just to be completely honest,
- 27:13it's happening a lot post-COVID.
- 27:15That's all I'm going to say about it.
- 27:18Um, the AFib stuff is, is bounced around.
- 27:21I know he had a flutter.
- 27:23I have a fib.
- 27:24They're a little bit different,
- 27:25but kind of the same.
- 27:27And, uh,
- 27:29And it's really been,
- 27:30it's actually affected me even trying to
- 27:34do open workouts because if it's elevated,
- 27:37the doctor does not want me to do
- 27:38it.
- 27:39I have to keep it down.
- 27:41And then I have to wear a watch
- 27:42while I'm doing it.
- 27:43And if it goes above a thing,
- 27:44I have to stop.
- 27:49So anyway, that's all that stuff.
- 27:53So this is my third AFib trip.
- 27:56David went into a fib last year too.
- 27:59Um, yeah,
- 28:01it didn't seem to be a thing prior
- 28:02to twenty twenty.
- 28:03Now it's kind of a thing.
- 28:04It's weird.
- 28:06And every like all a ton of people
- 28:09I know now pop in and out of
- 28:11a fib all the time.
- 28:12So anyway,
- 28:14so I'm trying I'm going to try to
- 28:15do the workout this weekend if I can
- 28:17keep my heart rate down to do it.
- 28:19Um,
- 28:19it doesn't that doesn't lend itself to
- 28:21getting a super fast time at anything,
- 28:23but
- 28:26I want to get back to where I'm
- 28:27Larry,
- 28:29worried about my heart rate for other
- 28:30reasons.
- 28:33Correct.
- 28:33Yeah.
- 28:33See, Scott,
- 28:34you got stuff in common with several games
- 28:36athletes.
- 28:37David, Pat Belner.
- 28:40I mean, y'all have what and what,
- 28:41honestly.
- 28:43Pretty much got the same thing happening.
- 28:45Yeah,
- 28:45I'm afraid I'm going to have to have
- 28:46an ablation done at some point,
- 28:48but I have been trying to push that
- 28:49off a little bit.
- 28:50Judy.
- 28:58Um, yeah.
- 28:59So just to give you an idea on
- 29:01Wednesday,
- 29:02when I did my strip for the cardiologist,
- 29:04my heart rate was one,
- 29:08and beats per minute and resting.
- 29:12Holy smokes, dude.
- 29:15Yeah.
- 29:15Can we not?
- 29:17Yeah.
- 29:17So I got it down to ninety yesterday.
- 29:20I need to take it after the show
- 29:21today.
- 29:22Um,
- 29:24but it's just trying to get to next
- 29:25Friday.
- 29:28For people that don't know,
- 29:30I'm going to just go ahead and say
- 29:33it.
- 29:33If his is at a hundred and eleven,
- 29:35mine right now is probably at fifty seven
- 29:38because I'm just sitting here not doing
- 29:39anything, which is fairly normal anywhere.
- 29:42Sixty,
- 29:43sixty five beats a minute is probably
- 29:45pretty normal for a normal human male guy
- 29:47just sitting around.
- 29:49So, yeah, we need to get that fixed.
- 29:50Well,
- 29:50my normal resting rhythm is high sixties,
- 29:54low seventies.
- 29:55Yeah.
- 29:57So yeah,
- 29:57it is definitely elevated for sure.
- 30:01But I can tell you without even taking
- 30:03it today, it's not one, it is much,
- 30:05much lower than that.
- 30:07Well,
- 30:07I'm sure you're way more in tune to
- 30:08it now than you were previously because
- 30:12you need to be.
- 30:14Yeah.
- 30:18Um, do you have a whoop?
- 30:20I don't, I use like a Garmin watch.
- 30:25Garment all day, baby.
- 30:27I think what whoop charges a month is
- 30:29criminal.
- 30:30Makes no sense.
- 30:31Why do that when I can just buy
- 30:32a one-time purchase of a watch and it
- 30:34does the same thing?
- 30:38I had that conversation with one of the
- 30:40girls at the gym about three months ago
- 30:42because she was, I'm getting a whoop.
- 30:44It should be in soon.
- 30:45And she's like,
- 30:45what do you think about it?
- 30:46And I said,
- 30:47I think I bought a Garmin that does
- 30:48more than what your whoop does and I
- 30:50only had to pay for it once.
- 30:52Yeah, and my Garmin watch,
- 30:53I can look and actually see what time
- 30:54it is.
- 30:57Look at that.
- 31:04I'm just saying.
- 31:04Oh, Shanna says, by the way,
- 31:05Pat will be fine.
- 31:06Good to go.
- 31:07Ablations work so well.
- 31:08Yeah.
- 31:09What do you share, doctor?
- 31:10Oh, yeah, you are.
- 31:14Yeah,
- 31:15I think that's where I'm probably headed
- 31:18at some point here.
- 31:23My Apple watch detected my AFib.
- 31:25Yeah.
- 31:25My Garmin detected it for me too.
- 31:29So yeah.
- 31:30Anyway,
- 31:32this has been an issue for three years.
- 31:33This isn't like a new thing,
- 31:34but the stress of all the doctors believe
- 31:37that with the stress of everything,
- 31:38the biopsy and the sinus surgery and
- 31:40everything else, it just,
- 31:43and going under a couple of times and
- 31:44all of that, it just sent me.
- 31:46You've been through a lot here lately.
- 31:49So yeah, I can understand.
- 31:51That would seem to make sense.
- 31:52And I didn't even mention that they
- 31:54chipped my tooth intubating me last time.
- 31:56So I have that.
- 31:58I had to deal with too.
- 31:59So there we go.
- 32:01All the fun things.
- 32:05Anyway, it's a good thing.
- 32:06I have my third Z to help me
- 32:07sleep at night and kind of at least
- 32:09recover and get calmed down and you can
- 32:12get it to it.
- 32:13Third Z.com backslash Jazzy or use Jazzy
- 32:16at checkout to get twenty five percent off
- 32:17your order now through the end of the
- 32:19open.
- 32:20It's freaking awesome.
- 32:24Uh,
- 32:27the added stress of it all is probably
- 32:28awesome for your heart rate.
- 32:30She says sarcastically.
- 32:31Yeah, probably not.
- 32:34And actually every time I go into AFib,
- 32:36my heart rate elevates that it's just a,
- 32:39it's synced together somehow.
- 32:42I'm not an MDL one,
- 32:44so I don't know exactly the reason behind
- 32:46that, but I'm sure Shanna does.
- 32:47She probably does.
- 32:48And that's way too technical to get into
- 32:50on a Friday afternoon.
- 32:57Lupe says, okay, good.
- 32:59Their HR detection is not as good as
- 33:01whoop, but good enough.
- 33:03Okay.
- 33:03We'll agree to disagree.
- 33:05I had a whoop for a good many
- 33:06years and I paid the thirty whatever
- 33:09dollars a month to them.
- 33:10And at some point I was like,
- 33:12enough is enough.
- 33:15Because I couldn't even tell time.
- 33:18Or go for or like time your run
- 33:20or whatever.
- 33:22I'm not going to get into it cause
- 33:23it's just going to make me mad.
- 33:24No.
- 33:25Moving right along.
- 33:30Yeah.
- 33:30For that chip too thin by CrossFit right
- 33:33now, David,
- 33:34I'm just trying to get them to pay
- 33:35for the dentist visit.
- 33:37How about, yeah.
- 33:38How about we just,
- 33:39if I can just get that right now,
- 33:41I'll be cool.
- 33:41Let's start small, David.
- 33:43I understand.
- 33:43I like where you hit that,
- 33:44but let's start small.
- 33:46Yeah.
- 33:47Um,
- 33:49So a couple things happened before we went
- 33:51on the air.
- 33:52If you didn't see it.
- 33:54The thing I said I wasn't going to
- 33:55talk about anymore.
- 33:57I'm going to talk about it only for
- 33:59a second.
- 33:59And that is the Hiller Taylor self beef
- 34:03apparently has come to possibly an end.
- 34:09I just apologized publicly to Taylor self
- 34:11on the Savan show this morning.
- 34:14And Taylor said he accepted the apology
- 34:17and they started to hash and talk and
- 34:20explain things out a little bit.
- 34:22I did not make it all the way
- 34:23to the end before the shoe show,
- 34:26but it looks like that is over.
- 34:29Oh, and Lito is in the chat.
- 34:31And she reminds me,
- 34:32she sent me something this morning.
- 34:38What is my biggest pet peeve in the
- 34:39sport?
- 34:41Oh, wow.
- 34:43That's an excellent question.
- 34:47I have some pet peeves.
- 34:53Yeah, I know.
- 34:55But you have several of them.
- 34:56So you're going to need to be a
- 34:58lot more specific.
- 35:00So I'm going to show this video that
- 35:01Lito sent me because she knows me so
- 35:03well.
- 35:13are you freaking kidding me dude the judge
- 35:20had to move her out the way uh-uh
- 35:25i'd have ran over
- 35:29Media should not be allowed on the floor.
- 35:34Competition floor is for judges and
- 35:36athletes only.
- 35:37I don't care if you're broadcast.
- 35:39I don't care if you're taking pictures.
- 35:41I don't care.
- 35:42We have the technology with lenses that
- 35:45you can zoom in from the moon and
- 35:48get pictures on the floor.
- 35:52Even if she's allowed on the floor,
- 35:54why would you step in front of someone
- 35:57who is about to start lunging towards you?
- 36:00Here's my point.
- 36:01She probably does have the authority to be
- 36:03on the floor.
- 36:06But CrossFit has to stop.
- 36:09This is ridiculous.
- 36:11Yeah.
- 36:12Go to the games live and they've got
- 36:15cameramen all over the floor obstructing
- 36:17the view from the spectators.
- 36:19And then you bitch and complain that you
- 36:21can't sell tickets.
- 36:23Right.
- 36:24Ridiculous.
- 36:25Go to a football game, a baseball game,
- 36:27a boxing match.
- 36:28Do you see cameramen in the ring in
- 36:30an MMA fight?
- 36:36No,
- 36:36because they get their heads knocked off.
- 36:39I haven't, but now that you said that,
- 36:42I kind of want to.
- 36:45It is utterly,
- 36:47utterly ridiculous that anybody is allowed
- 36:51to be on the floor other than athletes
- 36:53and judges.
- 36:56That's it.
- 36:56Full stop.
- 36:57Right there.
- 36:58Shoot the damn floor from the side or
- 37:02the end.
- 37:04I got a reel that they,
- 37:06or just some, no, I'm sorry,
- 37:08just some raw footage from my first year
- 37:10at Legends where the dude was, I was,
- 37:13we had that sandbag workout and you had
- 37:16to,
- 37:17so many cleans and then you had to
- 37:19walk around with it,
- 37:21like make a little lap,
- 37:22two circles or whatnot.
- 37:23And I almost cleared the dude out.
- 37:26And I know them cameras are expensive.
- 37:28And when I tell you he was,
- 37:30his lens was insane.
- 37:32six inches from the hundred and fifty
- 37:34pound bag I had on my shoulder that
- 37:36I was trying to go as fast as
- 37:38possible as I could with it.
- 37:39And like I wasn't stopping.
- 37:41I remember clearly thinking to myself,
- 37:43I will run you over before I like
- 37:45before you get in my way.
- 37:47It's not going to happen.
- 37:48I got I weigh one hundred and eighty
- 37:49five pounds in this bag weighs one fifty.
- 37:52We're going to win this fight.
- 37:53OK, I froze this video.
- 37:55Oh, my God.
- 37:57That dumbbell is right above that camera.
- 38:02Almost right above her head.
- 38:05Yeah.
- 38:06Lucy drops that.
- 38:09Then this person's going to be pissed.
- 38:11This person's going to complain that they
- 38:13were injured on the floor and they're
- 38:15going to want it all paid for when
- 38:17you were the idiot that put yourself in
- 38:20that situation.
- 38:21A hundred percent.
- 38:25We talked about this when the WFP guy
- 38:27was taking crotch shots or people doing
- 38:31GHD sit-ups from the crotch position.
- 38:34Yeah.
- 38:39Let me get in there.
- 38:39Why is that needed?
- 38:41Why was that needed?
- 38:43Let me get in there.
- 38:44Let me get in there.
- 38:45Hold on.
- 38:46Look, I'm right here.
- 38:48Right here.
- 38:53I swear to God,
- 38:54every time I'm at a semifinal or a
- 38:57games event,
- 38:58they have the damn cameraman standing
- 39:01right in the middle of the lane trying
- 39:03to get that one-on-one shot that nobody
- 39:07wants on the broadcast anyway.
- 39:09No.
- 39:11What are you doing that for?
- 39:12Who's that for?
- 39:14And you're obstructing everybody's view.
- 39:19Go ahead.
- 39:21I saw it.
- 39:23Shanna's saying that she had,
- 39:24I had another athlete's judge in my lane
- 39:27at the games during a handstand walk.
- 39:29I had to kick down and yell at
- 39:30her to get out of my way,
- 39:31lost so much time.
- 39:33I cannot fathom being at our thing's
- 39:38highest level competition and having
- 39:42somebody who's on the judging staff,
- 39:45not just out of position,
- 39:47but out of position so far that you
- 39:49are interrupting my event.
- 39:53would have i'd have gone nuclear i'd have
- 39:55lost my mind completely like i don't think
- 39:57i would have been i'd have had enough
- 39:59cool uh to just apparently you know
- 40:03shannon just yelled at her to get out
- 40:04the way and then trying to continue on
- 40:07that event there's no way frida said this
- 40:10is something that made me change
- 40:11affiliates as well people running across
- 40:13my marked area while doing snatches
- 40:17It's dangerous.
- 40:19It is.
- 40:19It's dangerous for them.
- 40:21It's dangerous for you.
- 40:22It's distracting for you.
- 40:25Like all the things you pick a thing.
- 40:29Andrew Sten says, Shanda, Shanda,
- 40:31that sucks.
- 40:31Judges and media should always be aware of
- 40:34where they are and what's going on around
- 40:35them.
- 40:35I tell them head on a swivel.
- 40:37Always.
- 40:38I'm past the point of excusing media.
- 40:40I am one of them.
- 40:42Right.
- 40:42I am part of media.
- 40:44We should not be allowed on the floor.
- 40:48No.
- 40:48No other sport allows it.
- 40:51No other sport allows it.
- 40:53There are good lenses to take good shots
- 40:55from off to the side or on the
- 40:57end or get one of those floating cameras
- 41:00above the,
- 41:01that is remote control and use that.
- 41:03Did you see how big the lens on
- 41:04her camera was?
- 41:07She could have took that shot from space.
- 41:11There was no reason for her to get
- 41:12that close.
- 41:14None.
- 41:14None.
- 41:16On the next episode of Snapped.
- 41:18Yeah.
- 41:19Could you imagine Lucy getting blocked and
- 41:21chucking the dumbbell like that judge did?
- 41:24Like the girl did at the judge?
- 41:26The judge?
- 41:27Yeah.
- 41:29Can you imagine if you got no rep
- 41:31an entire length of handstand walk because
- 41:33a media person got in the way?
- 41:35Oh my God, I'd be so absolutely fuming.
- 41:40That's real.
- 41:41Lito's red hair would ignite.
- 41:44It's already, it's already,
- 41:45it looks like it's on fire to begin
- 41:47with.
- 41:47It would actually be on fire at that
- 41:48point.
- 41:52So Lita, I'm trying to keep Lito.
- 41:54I'm trying to keep my,
- 41:55my heart rate down and you send me
- 41:57this video.
- 41:58Yeah.
- 42:00Just kidding.
- 42:01Lito is partially responsible for Scott
- 42:03going into AFib this morning.
- 42:09Anyway, there's that.
- 42:12Um,
- 42:14So, well,
- 42:15other thing is we got news from the
- 42:17WFP.
- 42:18Not the WFP.
- 42:19Yeah, we did from them too.
- 42:20Oh, yeah.
- 42:21That one first.
- 42:22Well, I have that one.
- 42:23I just said that.
- 42:24Tour Stop One qualifiers are over.
- 42:28They apparently,
- 42:30if you read the barbell spin,
- 42:33they had enough people contact them that
- 42:34they wouldn't be competing at Tour Stop
- 42:36One that they took the top twenty in
- 42:39the qualifiers.
- 42:40Oh.
- 42:42So here are your top-twenty qualifiers on
- 42:45the men's side.
- 42:46I'm not going to read every name because
- 42:48I don't even know them all,
- 42:49but Georges Kerevis, Fabian Benito,
- 42:54Victor Hellingsoff, Toby Buckland,
- 42:58Alex Katoulis, Reggie Fassa,
- 43:01Samuel Kornwaye.
- 43:05Sure, sure.
- 43:06Quinn Robinson, Tom Kingdom.
- 43:11Yeah, there you go.
- 43:16And on the women's side...
- 43:17Good luck to those people.
- 43:19And on the women's side, Alia Storen,
- 43:22Andre Moustis.
- 43:24Moustis.
- 43:25Nicole Heer.
- 43:29Mathilde Garnes.
- 43:31I know who that is.
- 43:34Sure, sure, sure.
- 43:36Astrid Tin.
- 43:39M. Day Gooch.
- 43:44Carolyn Prevo.
- 43:44Nope.
- 43:46Hey, I know who she is.
- 43:48Hannah Hardy.
- 43:50Blair Chaney.
- 43:53I definitely know who Hannah Hardy is.
- 43:55That's my girl.
- 43:58Will be competing in London at tour stop
- 44:02one.
- 44:03I didn't even know Carolyn was doing them.
- 44:05That's how private she is about this
- 44:06stuff.
- 44:09And then I saw that this morning and
- 44:10I text her and she's like, yep.
- 44:11And she's like, yeah, of course.
- 44:16Uh, back to the judge.
- 44:18I was so mad.
- 44:19I ran over to the head judge afterward.
- 44:20They didn't care.
- 44:21My own judge was flabbergasted.
- 44:26Uh,
- 44:26they don't even care about masters
- 44:27athletes.
- 44:28Anyway, we care about masters athletes.
- 44:34Uh, M is an absolute stud masters.
- 44:36Forty and went to individual semifinals
- 44:39two years ago.
- 44:41Yeah.
- 44:45Sten says, I've been a head judge.
- 44:46Your situation clearly didn't happen on my
- 44:48floor.
- 44:49I would have lost my shit if I
- 44:51saw that.
- 44:53He would have.
- 44:55Can't confirm Andrew Sten is a good dude.
- 44:56He will definitely listen to you if you
- 44:58have some judging concerns that are going
- 45:00on,
- 45:00even if it's not going on in your
- 45:01heat necessarily.
- 45:03Because I brought up some stuff to him
- 45:04at Legends this year.
- 45:07And then the last piece of breaking news
- 45:09that happened this morning is MFC.
- 45:13MFC.
- 45:14made an announcement saying that there are
- 45:16changes coming to the master's fitness
- 45:18championship.
- 45:20And essentially what I got out of watching
- 45:23the video was there will not be a
- 45:27twenty twenty six Masters Fitness
- 45:29Championship.
- 45:30Right.
- 45:32And they are moving from September to
- 45:34June.
- 45:35Yes.
- 45:36They're moving from the convention center
- 45:40in Fort Wayne to a college campus.
- 45:46Which is right next to where the other
- 45:49venue was, if I'm not mistaken.
- 45:52Around, yeah.
- 45:53Yeah, like I'm not right next door,
- 45:55obviously, but it's like down the street.
- 45:59Yeah.
- 45:59It'll still be in Fort Wayne.
- 46:00Yeah.
- 46:02And then what they did not say that
- 46:04sounds like they're attempting to become
- 46:07is a qualifier for the CrossFit Games.
- 46:08Right.
- 46:10If you're moving to June and you're going
- 46:14through all of this to get to a
- 46:17place where you can change the time of
- 46:19the year,
- 46:20I think that is what you are doing.
- 46:28Stence is back to bad hotel area.
- 46:32I don't think...
- 46:33If you go downtown Fort Wayne,
- 46:34there's some really good hotels.
- 46:36And it's literally a five or ten minute
- 46:38drive to where the convention center was.
- 46:43Around the convention center,
- 46:45the hotels were atrocious.
- 46:48Now,
- 46:48the one corner I stayed in was not
- 46:50bad.
- 46:51But I heard a lot of horror stories
- 46:53about some of the others.
- 46:56From Jamie.
- 46:56Yes.
- 46:59yeah it's still one of my favorite stories
- 47:04um so but they have a twelve minute
- 47:07video out kind of giving I think it's
- 47:11because they don't have the official word
- 47:13from CrossFit that they're going to be a
- 47:15games qualifier but they had to get the
- 47:17word out somehow I guess I don't know
- 47:20why it had to be this early but
- 47:23So their qualifier is not usually till
- 47:25like for another two months or so is
- 47:27when they normally would put it out.
- 47:29So I did think there was a little
- 47:30bit on the early side or whatnot.
- 47:32And I was actually talking to Vicky right
- 47:34before we came on here.
- 47:35I'm a little bit bummed because I was
- 47:38planning on actually doing their qualifier
- 47:41just because I wanted to actually like
- 47:45give, leave no doubt this year.
- 47:47Cause last year I kind of, you know,
- 47:49screwed the pooch a little bit.
- 47:50And even though I'm,
- 47:52I technically still qualified in Elite.
- 47:54They sent me an RX invite.
- 47:55Whatever.
- 47:55Not a big deal.
- 47:56I'm over it, sort of, kind of.
- 47:58Maybe not.
- 48:00But I was going to do it again
- 48:01this year,
- 48:01if for no other reason than the fact
- 48:03that, like,
- 48:04They had eight events,
- 48:07and everybody did all of them.
- 48:08And I went to Legends,
- 48:10and there were six events,
- 48:11and everybody did not do all of them.
- 48:13I was one of the people that did
- 48:14not.
- 48:15I got boned myself out of the last
- 48:18one on the very last day and ended
- 48:20up only doing five.
- 48:21And for what it cost me to bring
- 48:24my entire family there to go watch me
- 48:25compete,
- 48:26I was going to say about going back
- 48:30to Fort Wayne.
- 48:32Andrew, he's not.
- 48:34He is definitely not.
- 48:37Hey, I'm going to tell you this, Stan.
- 48:39Spite is a hell of a motivator.
- 48:44Spite is a hell of a motivator,
- 48:45and I am Richard Petty.
- 48:49You understand?
- 48:50I am Petty.
- 48:52So I was one hundred percent looking
- 48:54forward to doing that qualifier and just
- 48:56knocking it out the park.
- 48:58And now I don't get a chance to
- 48:59do that this year.
- 49:00So.
- 49:01But, hey,
- 49:04if they are trying to get bigger and
- 49:05trying to actually become an in-person
- 49:09qualifier for the Masters CrossFit Games,
- 49:12then good on them.
- 49:14Like we need,
- 49:16we could use more of it.
- 49:18We could use more of it.
- 49:19I know myself,
- 49:20like that's my big goal this year is
- 49:22to be able to compete in person for
- 49:25a spot at the games.
- 49:26And if there's more opportunities for that
- 49:28next year,
- 49:28because they are moving their stuff around
- 49:30and becoming like getting themselves in a
- 49:32window to be a qualifier,
- 49:33then good on them.
- 49:35I hope they do.
- 49:36I really do.
- 49:39Yeah.
- 49:40I think it's actually good for them as
- 49:42an organization.
- 49:43I think they are a bunch of guys
- 49:45who care about the sport and care about
- 49:46the Masters community.
- 49:48And sometimes their visions of grandeur
- 49:51get ahead of them.
- 49:52Yes.
- 49:53And a year to just kind of like
- 49:55reset,
- 49:55get refocused on what they should be and
- 49:58what they need to do to become that
- 50:00is probably a good thing for MFC.
- 50:03It's a great location.
- 50:05It's a great time.
- 50:08I want them to be successful.
- 50:11It's the smallest airport I've ever been
- 50:13in my entire life.
- 50:14But yes, besides that,
- 50:15it's this great location.
- 50:16It actually might be the smallest airport
- 50:17I've ever been in my entire life.
- 50:19Cause it was, yeah.
- 50:21Maryland was the smallest I've ever been
- 50:23in.
- 50:23And that's when I flew on a plane
- 50:24where they said to me and my coworker,
- 50:27can you get it sit on opposite sides
- 50:28of the plane?
- 50:29You need to balance the weight.
- 50:33We were on a full size airplane,
- 50:34but like literally you go through
- 50:37security,
- 50:38the one security gate with two lines and
- 50:41that's it.
- 50:41That's all there is.
- 50:43And the gift shop slash restaurant slash
- 50:49whatever, like it's just one thing, right?
- 50:51Like you want to eat.
- 50:52That's what you're eating.
- 50:53Do with that,
- 50:53the five things they got on the menu
- 50:55and you go through the terminal,
- 50:56like to the actual gate and it's just.
- 50:59It was all us.
- 51:00We were the only people flying out of
- 51:02there.
- 51:02It was all CrossFitters,
- 51:04so we all pretty much knew each other.
- 51:06That was a good time.
- 51:09When we pulled up to the Ocean City
- 51:12airport, I've seen BP stations bigger.
- 51:16Yeah, I believe it.
- 51:18Yeah,
- 51:18like literally they pulled up to the front
- 51:20door.
- 51:20You came down the steps off the plane.
- 51:23And this was not a private jet.
- 51:26This is not like what you think.
- 51:27And then you just,
- 51:29you pulled open the door, you went in,
- 51:31and there was your suitcase sitting on the
- 51:33floor.
- 51:33You grabbed it.
- 51:34And then you went out the other end,
- 51:37and there's where like the three cabs from
- 51:40the entire town were there.
- 51:41Yeah, well, that was the other thing too.
- 51:43Like there's probably five Ubers there.
- 51:47on that side of, uh,
- 51:48where we were in, in Fort Wayne.
- 51:50Like we got the same guy twice in
- 51:51a night.
- 51:53That does not happen.
- 51:54If you get an Uber, uh, lunch,
- 51:57the three D old sandwich.
- 51:58Yeah.
- 52:03Um, well with that, that was fun.
- 52:06It's been a fun day news flying by,
- 52:10uh,
- 52:12Can't wait to see what happens this
- 52:13weekend with the workouts and everything
- 52:16going on.
- 52:21My last question to you is, okay,
- 52:23the Hill herself thing is over.
- 52:24I know we weren't going to talk about
- 52:26it anymore.
- 52:29How many,
- 52:29what do you think the percentage of people
- 52:31in the comments are going to say it
- 52:32was staged?
- 52:33Oh, I would conservatively.
- 52:39Eighty-five percent.
- 52:42Conservatively,
- 52:44I would say percent of people will be
- 52:45like, they staged the whole thing.
- 52:48And honestly,
- 52:49I'm just telling you right now.
- 52:55Yes.
- 52:56Conservatively,
- 52:57eighty five percent of the people in the
- 52:59comments are going to say that it was
- 53:01staged.
- 53:03I haven't even looked at them.
- 53:05And I can guarantee you,
- 53:06if I go look at them now,
- 53:07it's going to be, I told you so.
- 53:08I told you it was staged.
- 53:10Told you.
- 53:11I called it.
- 53:13I knew it.
- 53:14Oh, it was staged.
- 53:16Guaranteed.
- 53:17Guaranteed.
- 53:19Not a question in my mind, dude.
- 53:24I want to say,
- 53:25I don't believe it was staged.
- 53:26I don't believe it was staged either.
- 53:28But here's the thing, I also don't care.
- 53:30I...
- 53:32I've met both of those people in person.
- 53:34They are both good human beings.
- 53:38And whether they staged it or not,
- 53:40I do not care.
- 53:42I didn't care while it was happening.
- 53:44I was just like, oh,
- 53:45mom and dad are fighting.
- 53:46Okay, cool.
- 53:47Moving right along with it with the rest
- 53:48of my day.
- 53:49It's just the ridiculousness of it just
- 53:55kept stacking, right?
- 54:00He'll put out a new video.
- 54:02uh uh taylor put out a new video
- 54:04he had to pull out a new video
- 54:05that was all in one day and like
- 54:12during the whole thing hillary's breaking
- 54:13his own rules like audio was terrible on
- 54:16the beach with the wind blowing through
- 54:17the mic yes like all the taylor starts
- 54:22off like yeah he made a good point
- 54:23he made a good point then goes unhinged
- 54:26and just blasts like it was
- 54:30Taylor stuff was funny because of that,
- 54:32because he was on a conservative note.
- 54:34I would say eighty five conservative
- 54:36conservatively.
- 54:37Eighty five percent.
- 54:40Taylor stuff was funny because of that,
- 54:41because he was like, oh, no,
- 54:43he made some really good points.
- 54:44No, you know, you know, you're right.
- 54:46Yeah.
- 54:46Yeah.
- 54:47And then we went from that to F
- 54:49that guy and his entire family.
- 54:52And I'm never speaking to him again.
- 54:53And he's a horrible human being.
- 54:55And just like threw all the things out,
- 54:57dude.
- 54:57And then Taylor would make another video.
- 54:59Taylor would come out, start off composed.
- 55:01And then go right off into it.
- 55:07Yeah.
- 55:11Like you,
- 55:11I've met both of them in person.
- 55:13I like both of the guys.
- 55:15I think they're both cool.
- 55:18But I...
- 55:21I, I do kind of,
- 55:23I do kind of like that.
- 55:25We're just kind of our over own little
- 55:27thing over here.
- 55:28Yeah.
- 55:28A hundred percent.
- 55:29Right.
- 55:29Like a hundred percent.
- 55:32And it just, and it,
- 55:38it made it easier to just observe.
- 55:40Yeah.
- 55:40Here's the thing you can ask me,
- 55:43like you were the one of the few
- 55:44people who could ask me about it and
- 55:46I can go, I don't care.
- 55:49And we can just move on.
- 55:50Like,
- 55:53Do I think this?
- 55:54Yes.
- 55:54Do I think that?
- 55:55No.
- 55:56And okay, let's,
- 55:58what else do we have on the docket
- 55:59for the day?
- 56:00Because it's just so silly.
- 56:03Lupe says it was not staged.
- 56:05I agree with you.
- 56:05I don't think it was staged.
- 56:06I don't think it was staged.
- 56:07The conversation that happened today on
- 56:08Savan,
- 56:09I think it's pretty obvious it was not
- 56:11staged.
- 56:12And the internal battle that
- 56:16Andrew went through trying to figure all
- 56:19this out in his head before he made
- 56:21the video, I think was very telling.
- 56:24And he was very transparent about that.
- 56:25Yeah.
- 56:26But it,
- 56:27but it did turn very high school and
- 56:29Vicky's right.
- 56:30She doesn't even go here.
- 56:34Everyone in the space loves CrossFit.
- 56:36Why?
- 56:37When someone thinks differently,
- 56:38they go after each other.
- 56:39So petty to me.
- 56:40I, I don't know.
- 56:42I, I,
- 56:44I might very well go home and watch
- 56:46Mean Girls just because.
- 56:50What I think makes these discussions fun
- 56:53is when we do disagree.
- 56:54A hundred percent.
- 56:56Then you get to kind of talk it
- 56:57out.
- 56:57Why do you feel that?
- 56:58Why?
- 56:58And I think it actually makes better
- 57:00content, right?
- 57:01Yeah, absolutely.
- 57:04I am telling, you know,
- 57:05the comments I've gotten about Jamie and I
- 57:07fighting and how much people like that
- 57:09banter.
- 57:11But at the end of the day,
- 57:12I love that girl.
- 57:14She's my sister.
- 57:15We talk all the time.
- 57:17And this week,
- 57:19Carolyn has stepped up and taken the place
- 57:20of Jamie.
- 57:21And Carolyn and I have been scrapping all
- 57:23week.
- 57:24And we'll probably do that on Sunday Night
- 57:26Show because I'm going to bring up the
- 57:28topic that started it all with her this
- 57:30week.
- 57:31And we went back and forth for like
- 57:33five hours on something via text.
- 57:37And we're going to talk about it this
- 57:38week.
- 57:38And I'm going to preface it with this.
- 57:41WFP gave Sarah Sigmund's daughter a wild
- 57:44card invite to London.
- 57:48And Carolyn vehemently disagrees with it,
- 57:51and I think it's a cool move.
- 57:53And we fought all week,
- 57:56and we'll finish that fight Sunday night
- 57:59on Sunday Night CrossFit Talk.
- 58:03And you guys can watch and enjoy.
- 58:05And at the end of the day,
- 58:06I'm still going to love Carolyn as much
- 58:07as I did when we started this fight
- 58:10five days ago.
- 58:11Absolutely.
- 58:11But I will still die on that hill.
- 58:13Right.
- 58:15And I'm going to root for her every
- 58:16time she takes the floor.
- 58:18And that's that.
- 58:21But it is...
- 58:26It is comical,
- 58:27the back and forth we had this week.
- 58:28Yeah.
- 58:29It really felt like Jamie went on vacation
- 58:32and she called Carolyn and said,
- 58:34all right, you have to be the one.
- 58:36You have to be the one.
- 58:38Look, I'm going to Florida.
- 58:39So I'm going to need you to fight
- 58:41with Scott the rest of the week because
- 58:42I'm not going to have time to do
- 58:44it.
- 58:44I'm sorry.
- 58:45I may have a week off,
- 58:46but he's not going to get a week
- 58:47off.
- 58:48Correct.
- 58:54It seems, Shannon says,
- 58:55it seems like when you and yours fight,
- 58:57you discuss with manners.
- 58:58Taylor wasn't.
- 59:02It's only cool if it's for show,
- 59:05no points involved.
- 59:08Well, there's points involved.
- 59:09I mean,
- 59:11and Jamie will tell you she's winning a
- 59:14hundred and twenty seven to nothing.
- 59:16She keeps score for everything.
- 59:20But I still love her.
- 59:21All of the things.
- 59:22Jamie keeps score for all of the things.
- 59:24If anybody needs any proof of that,
- 59:26holla at me.
- 59:26I got a story for you real quick.
- 59:30I've got a text she sent me this
- 59:32week that will show she keeps score for
- 59:33everything.
- 59:34A hundred percent, dude.
- 59:35A hundred percent.
- 59:36I know some really competitive people and
- 59:38I know Jamie.
- 59:39Do you understand?
- 59:41Because there's levels to that shit.
- 59:44Vicky says end of the day,
- 59:45the issue is one of pure ego.
- 59:48Otherwise they would have been able to
- 59:49talk about it like adults way before now.
- 59:51Yeah.
- 59:52I don't want to criticize because emotions
- 59:54do make, listen, people piss me off.
- 59:56Like cameraman getting in front of
- 59:59athletes and I get emotional and then I
- 1:00:03lose my shit and,
- 1:00:05and then I go off and that's fine.
- 1:00:08But with that being said,
- 1:00:13We're going to head into the weekend.
- 1:00:14I hope you guys have a great weekend.
- 1:00:16Don't forget,
- 1:00:17we have to freaking turn our clocks ahead
- 1:00:19an hour.
- 1:00:19Oh, my God.
- 1:00:21Is that this weekend?
- 1:00:22So we'll have some more sunlight during
- 1:00:24the day.
- 1:00:25Thank goodness.
- 1:00:26It's going to this fifty six year old
- 1:00:28body don't like change.
- 1:00:32And I'm so stupid.
- 1:00:33That's a whole show.
- 1:00:34That's an entire show.
- 1:00:35I'm how dumb it is.
- 1:00:38With that, I hope you guys,
- 1:00:40your bodies adjust well because it is the
- 1:00:42open weekend.
- 1:00:43Take some thirdsy on Saturday night when
- 1:00:45you move your clock ahead so you're good,
- 1:00:47rested, recovered on Sunday morning.

- 1:00:50you're going to need it.
