2026 CrossFit Open, NorCal Classic Online Qualifier & WFP Season Announced · The Spin Podcast

• 0:33
  Welcome to the spin Wednesday night, it's time to go again.
• 0:38
  Let's see Jason Bourne. Who else is signed up?
• 0:46
  I am. I'm ready, registered and ready
• 0:48
  to rock spin. I have I have registered.
• 0:52
  I am on the leaderboard. I'm sorry, I haven't done it
• 0:55
  yet. I'm here to boost day three
• 0:58
  metrics is what it's I'm. I'm waiting.
• 1:01
  I think, I think we're doing pretty good on the the total
• 1:05
  registrations. We have broken a record, yeah.
• 1:09
  We're more than we were last year on day one. 3 + 3 three X
• 1:14
  is what I hear. That's what I hear.
• 1:16
  Yeah, we're well on our way to 300,000.
• 1:19
  I would like to. I would like to make a bet and I
• 1:24
  don't know how we'll tabulate this.
• 1:25
  This is not against you, Tyler. I I will bet it is that.
• 1:32
  No, no it's not. I'll bet that the amount of open
• 1:36
  sign ups or talks or updates this year, since it will be
• 1:41
  largely positive, there will be way less articles from the likes
• 1:46
  of Halpin, Morning Chalk Up and Brian Friend.
• 1:52
  I I'm willing to bet what it was last year because it was a very
• 1:56
  down year last year as far as sign ups go.
• 1:59
  How many articles and stuff were written about how low it was or
• 2:03
  compared to last year, blah blah, blah, blah, blah.
• 2:06
  And then under the guise of I'm just reporting the numbers, man,
• 2:10
  right. Like under that guys, I, I'm
• 2:14
  willing to bet. Hard to write an article when
• 2:18
  you're at a website. A critical error.
• 2:21
  Who's is that? Just it is not yours.
• 2:25
  Good. Mine's up.
• 2:26
  Mine is up. I, I just, I just, I just
• 2:29
  willing to bet and spin if you can, like if there's a way of
• 2:32
  looking this up, I think we should just to show people
• 2:36
  what's what because I think, I think a lot of it's ridiculous.
• 2:42
  I mean, Halpin was putting out his daily daily stats last year
• 2:46
  and then he wrote a big old article that on the morning
• 2:48
  chalk up. Speaking of which, I don't think
• 2:52
  they don't even put out a daily newsletter for the free
• 2:55
  population anymore. You got to be a paying member.
• 3:00
  We should. Do that.
• 3:01
  To do what? Do a newsletter.
• 3:04
  Yeah, just subscribe like yeah, subscription based.
• 3:07
  Well, I have a newsletter out I've I've.
• 3:09
  Restarted that out. It's called the barbell spit.
• 3:11
  No, no, no. Paid subscription.
• 3:14
  Paid, paid, paid to play, but you can get a free newsletter if
• 3:19
  you go to any of my articles and there's a little sign up there,
• 3:22
  sign up. You get all the e-mail every
• 3:23
  afternoon. It is the afternoon spin.
• 3:28
  So if you don't feel like checking up or you're not,
• 3:31
  you're busy during the day, you get an e-mail, get it, get a,
• 3:34
  get a quick little highlight of what's going on.
• 3:36
  Couple of links to articles, Instagram posts, some good
• 3:40
  YouTube videos here and there. And I can do that also.
• 3:44
  I did get a wonderful shipment of daughter.
• 3:50
  Daughter. Juice, OH.
• 3:51
  You're talking about the CrossFit clothes?
• 3:54
  No, those those are still in the mail.
• 3:56
  Are we allowed to talk about it? We should tell.
• 3:57
  We should bring up James for that.
• 3:59
  Like we we should talk to him about these emails.
• 4:03
  That's what the World Fitness Project says about us.
• 4:05
  James Daughter got my shipment in.
• 4:12
  It's not as bad as I was expecting.
• 4:14
  See. Really not.
• 4:15
  It's his favorite drink of all time.
• 4:17
  Can't stop talking about. It so mixed Berry, it's three
• 4:21
  out of three. It is the IT is the bottom of
• 4:23
  the barrel on that one. I would not get that one.
• 4:25
  The Bandar and orange and the strawberry lemon.
• 4:28
  Not bad. I hate that they added coconut.
• 4:31
  I missed the original. Coconut piss, Yeah.
• 4:37
  So I, I, I don't know. I don't know if I'd ever buy it,
• 4:41
  but. This makes me you remember name
• 4:47
  it push press Tyler to be a hit. You remember those I made I made
• 4:50
  one like I had this idea that we should do like like ESPN does
• 4:57
  it. They have like a like a monthly
• 5:00
  art like magazine they send out, but like actually have the like
• 5:05
  a nice freaking magazine once a month.
• 5:09
  It's just like it would be so hard to to curate and do.
• 5:15
  That was that one that I made. Brian Friend was the the guy on
• 5:19
  the face of it. You can make the covers because
• 5:22
  up in the middle of it. All I want to do is make the
• 5:24
  covers and then at the end of the year, see this is where this
• 5:26
  the subscription base comes in, the paid subscription base
• 5:29
  because they can get the, you know, the full magazine covers
• 5:33
  of the year. That'd be good.
• 5:35
  Yeah. Doing the magazine based stuff
• 5:38
  is tough. That's a tough, tough gig,
• 5:42
  especially in today's where content is like in your face
• 5:46
  immediately and it's like, hey look, let's read something about
• 5:48
  something 4 weeks ago. Just to see if I can define
• 5:51
  that. I mean, we have John Young in
• 5:55
  the Body Issue, so. Sports Spin Illustrated is
• 5:59
  what's called. Yeah.
• 6:01
  Swimsuit Swimsuit edition. Speaking of Shoot.
• 6:04
  Speaking of dumpers, Speaking of dumpers, we got the first.
• 6:08
  We got the first one to rate. Dumper of the Week dumper.
• 6:13
  Of the week. What?
• 6:14
  What is? What is this?
• 6:16
  You remember last week, John, You're.
• 6:17
  Going to be so happy, John. Tyler Tyler likes the rate
• 6:20
  dumpers and so John's out. This is the first one.
• 6:26
  What? Are we doing?
• 6:27
  All right. So I was added, somebody added
• 6:30
  me on this and then Dallan asked me to confirm.
• 6:35
  So I felt I felt the need. Look at this.
• 6:37
  This is good form. First of all, speed, some speed
• 6:40
  reps. So the first the thing that
• 6:44
  pulls you in is how hungry his butt is right there.
• 6:47
  His buddy. Eating them.
• 6:49
  Shorts, but you got to be careful because like, you know,
• 6:53
  those yoga pants that girls buy that are like constructed so
• 6:56
  that they get up in there It it's an optical illusion a
• 7:00
  little bit, you know, you can't fall for that right off the off
• 7:04
  the bat here, but there's a little bit of hang down there at
• 7:08
  the bottom. So that's nice.
• 7:11
  His his thighs and quads is is like hamstrings and quads are
• 7:16
  offsetting very nice. I think I would give like Dell
• 7:19
  on an 8.5. All right.
• 7:23
  What do you think, John 8.5 butt Dumper rating?
• 7:27
  This is this is this is tough because it's kind of like
• 7:32
  lifting for me. Like if you don't do more than
• 7:34
  me, then it's hard for me to like think anything of you.
• 7:37
  You know what I mean? So.
• 7:39
  This is aesthetics only though, John.
• 7:41
  Yeah, no, I get it now. Dallin's an aesthetic guy in
• 7:45
  general. I think he's, you know, pretty
• 7:47
  stacked up everywhere else, so I don't want to give him too much
• 7:50
  credit. I'm going to say A7A.
• 7:53
  Seven, that's a. That's a portnoy.
• 7:55
  Like those are fighting words. Those are fighting.
• 7:57
  Words. I mean, maybe if he squats 500
• 7:59
  you can bump it up to an 8 1/2, but I mean he squats like 495.
• 8:03
  If you can't do five more bounds, it's hard to give you
• 8:06
  over an 8. Oh fair enough.
• 8:08
  I don't. I think you have to be 500 plus
• 8:10
  to earn an 8. So John, John's about functional
• 8:14
  butts, Jay, you got to have a functional butt for John.
• 8:18
  Let me tell you. Mine is functional.
• 8:20
  Let me, let me tell you. So good butt.
• 8:26
  There you go, Dumper of the Week goes to.
• 8:29
  B plus butt before. We get into viewer comments.
• 8:33
  I also I don't know if you saw on the YouTube channel I got the
• 8:37
  rogue echo ski in the garage gym got a little review.
• 8:41
  Out there? Yeah.
• 8:43
  How is it? It's a good review.
• 8:45
  It's nice, it is very smooth and my wife had a friend over and
• 8:50
  they were hanging out in the sauna.
• 8:52
  They finished up and then these are like what's this?
• 8:55
  And they tried it out and both of them really liked it better
• 8:59
  than the concept to skier. So take that for what it's
• 9:02
  worth. It was, it was funny watching
• 9:04
  you do it because like you, you came to the end where you were
• 9:07
  like, you know, you got to choose between the C2 and the
• 9:11
  and the rogue. And I was like, it's rogue.
• 9:15
  Like the whole time I was just like, it's rogue.
• 9:17
  There is no decision. I mean if you have AC2 rower
• 9:22
  like you have to switch over because it's that much better,
• 9:24
  no right? But if you are looking to get a
• 9:28
  new one or replace 1. Definitely go rogue.
• 9:32
  And I mean. The real separator, as funny as
• 9:37
  this is, is the the wheels 100%. Getting those caught in the
• 9:43
  freaking between rubber panels is so annoying.
• 9:48
  I have a gap right where I have to reel it out from the wall
• 9:52
  into the middle of the floor. And I would say half the time I
• 9:55
  I'm Wheeling and not paying attention in the morning and
• 9:57
  it's like just like halts to complete completely halts in the
• 10:01
  like run into it and have to deal with it.
• 10:04
  It's a pain in the ass that's. Beautiful.
• 10:09
  Did you ever post that? No, I never did post this, but
• 10:12
  it's a good damn magazine. It's good.
• 10:15
  I I feel like we need to make like 5 covers before we release
• 10:18
  it. Yeah.
• 10:22
  So tonight, viewer comments, we'll talk about the CrossFit
• 10:25
  open. Registration is now open.
• 10:28
  We'll talk about some Bushwhackers.
• 10:30
  Have you tried those yet? Yeah, I I did them, but Norcal
• 10:35
  is the same weekend. I actually thought well on the
• 10:39
  outside shot that I make it and I know it'll be like a really, I
• 10:42
  know it's probably not. I know.
• 10:44
  Don't lose hope, John. Probably won't happen but like I
• 10:49
  should do the qualifier from Norcal and but then I was.
• 10:53
  Then I remembered it's the same. It's the same weekend as
• 10:55
  Syndicate. And then I don't know what, I
• 10:57
  don't know what. We're doing what you're doing,
• 10:58
  yeah. Yeah, yeah.
• 10:59
  So I got to. Be working one weekend.
• 11:01
  I got to figure, right, I got to one way or another, I wouldn't
• 11:04
  be able to actually do the competition.
• 11:06
  So. Do you think we can?
• 11:08
  You can do syndicate, but because there's the time
• 11:12
  difference, you can do syndicate.
• 11:13
  We put you on a plane and then you go and do Norcal and then we
• 11:16
  ship you back. You know what, dude, I think
• 11:19
  Wilson, I mean Blair, Ben might let me too just compete and then
• 11:23
  the and then in the first heat, because I'll be in the first
• 11:25
  heat, right? And then and then commentate the
• 11:28
  last heat and, and listen, listen well, how I'm just saying
• 11:35
  what's happening. It feels weird how you know what
• 11:38
  I mean and like and like people, you know, you might be like,
• 11:41
  well, wouldn't that like kind of ruin your competition?
• 11:43
  You'll be like the more tired than anything Guys, I I too was
• 11:47
  a miracle. I made it there.
• 11:49
  So, so like it's we're just having a good time, right?
• 11:51
  I think it'd be awesome. Charity.
• 11:56
  So you're saying you'd make the elite division?
• 11:58
  I'm not saying I would make anything.
• 12:00
  I'm just saying on the, you know, 1% chance that I get lucky
• 12:05
  with the programming. I'm trying to be a little bit
• 12:07
  fit right now. Ashley Visconti 499 Thank you.
• 12:12
  Cheers boys, signed up for my 6th year and found out my gym D
• 12:17
  affiliated. Oh, that sucks.
• 12:20
  I had somebody else that messaged me, I think it was last
• 12:23
  night saying that they wanted after I put my poll out there of
• 12:25
  are you going to do the open or not?
• 12:27
  And the person said my gym D affiliated.
• 12:31
  I want to support CrossFit, but I don't want to do a video.
• 12:34
  And I said, just get somebody to take a phone out, record
• 12:38
  yourself, submit it. It doesn't have to be
• 12:40
  professional. If you're down there and you
• 12:42
  know, down by me in the middle of the pack, ain't nobody going
• 12:46
  to care. And honestly, like, yeah, I
• 12:49
  doubt people are. What, like, it doesn't need to
• 12:51
  be that professional of a video at all.
• 12:54
  Like, you don't have to set up angles.
• 12:55
  You don't have to measure stuff. Just get out there and do it,
• 12:58
  yeah. Get support supported anyway,
• 13:00
  Bully, go into bully mode, get in your affiliate owner's face
• 13:04
  or your gym owner's face and be like, hey, you're making the
• 13:07
  open difficult. For me, you do affiliated.
• 13:08
  You're going to hold this phone for me and record?
• 13:10
  Yeah, that's what you're going to do.
• 13:12
  You're going to hold this. Phone.
• 13:14
  Yeah, we will. After viewer comments, I will
• 13:17
  show you how to sign up for the barbell spin hashtag.
• 13:23
  Not gonna lie, I got a little stumped.
• 13:25
  I had to call Technical Support. Is.
• 13:30
  It not. Is it not just still in there
• 13:32
  from last year? Oh, it's still in.
• 13:34
  There there's a. New there's a new little tab
• 13:36
  that's there and you had to you don't even know that it's a
• 13:40
  clickable link to open up all the different features you have
• 13:44
  and so I I I messaged IT support Jenna Hauka the CMO and IT.
• 13:52
  Support. Fix this for me and then she got
• 13:55
  me the answer. So we will get that straightened
• 13:57
  away after after the viewer comments and after you subscribe
• 14:02
  to the channel because we are stuck at 11,000 and change First
• 14:07
  up at Boss Man AUS Australia. Personally I wouldn't buy any of
• 14:14
  Rogue's copy machines. Doesn't sit right with me that
• 14:17
  they'd copy it and make it the same as concept to bar a few
• 14:22
  slight changes. And that's your right, man.
• 14:28
  I understand, but. I think theirs will break a lot
• 14:32
  less, I'll put it like that. And the wheels, you got big
• 14:35
  wheels, man. That's that's important.
• 14:39
  You know, the Assault bike seemed like the go to machine
• 14:42
  until the Echo bike was created and now it's like they're not
• 14:46
  even in the same category. Yeah, I wonder how much gym
• 14:50
  owners have saved on the Echo bike over the assault bike dude.
• 14:55
  So much the assault bikes break so I.
• 14:58
  Remember going to a gym that was CrossFit adjacent and they had
• 15:04
  a, they had a bunch of echo, bike or not, they had assault
• 15:07
  bikes and the owner would yell at everybody.
• 15:11
  Do not stand on the pedal. Like here's how you get off and
• 15:15
  on so you don't start just like hammering and wearing out the
• 15:20
  the chain and stuff. So yeah, you don't have any of
• 15:23
  that issue with the Rogue 10? Wait, did you guys get the
• 15:26
  patch? I didn't buy the.
• 15:29
  I didn't. I didn't buy the patch, no.
• 15:30
  I'm going to buy the patch. It's probably in our package
• 15:32
  coming out here soon, Tyler. Yeah, you're going to buy the
• 15:34
  patch and it's gonna, it's gonna.
• 15:37
  You got 2 patches I got. 2 patches.
• 15:40
  Now at Robbie Muson HQ needs to promote the open more.
• 15:46
  You need to reach woke Europe and convince them somehow.
• 15:51
  This is a issue before we get in.
• 15:54
  Can you say it again? Can you say it again?
• 15:55
  I'm sorry. Wait.
• 15:56
  Wait, wait, wait one second. He's lying.
• 16:00
  Is that the real Dex Hopkins? That's Dex Hopkins.
• 16:03
  There's there's a video of it somewhere.
• 16:04
  Dex gets on the bike. I think it's at the beginning of
• 16:07
  workout. Dex can destroy a bike, kicks
• 16:10
  the like the pedal just shears off the bike first kick and he
• 16:14
  just walks away. I've never that was the old
• 16:18
  assault bikes, I think. Yeah, Assault bikes.
• 16:22
  It would be incredible. It'd be incredible if you just
• 16:24
  walked to another Assault bike and it just started ripping that
• 16:27
  one. It just falls apart too.
• 16:31
  It's crazy, OK. Sorry, yeah, HQ needs to promote
• 16:34
  the open more. This was written a day ago.
• 16:37
  OK. You need to reach woke Europe
• 16:40
  and convince them somehow. OK, HQ needs to reach woke
• 16:47
  Europe, is what we're saying. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 16:50
  I don't think we should call. You're a bloke.
• 16:53
  Not as a whole, no. No.
• 16:57
  Welker they're. More.
• 17:00
  They're more liberal than the United States.
• 17:02
  Right. Yeah, but I mean, I don't think
• 17:04
  we should insult Europe. They're, you know, they're all
• 17:08
  right. It is an issue like they fell
• 17:14
  off hard. I want to talk about the thing
• 17:16
  that I've been doing for so long, but it that Europe fell
• 17:21
  off hard, they were poised to overtake the North America by
• 17:27
  probably 20272028 in. Popularity.
• 17:30
  In popularity, not anymore. It fell off of dude.
• 17:34
  Planet, do you know? I think so.
• 17:38
  Obviously Lazar played a big, big role, right?
• 17:41
  But. That doesn't make.
• 17:43
  Sense to me no but wait, wait. Hear me out hear me out.
• 17:45
  I'm just that that aside, I also think all all of the the
• 17:50
  Icelandic girls started getting out of it, you know, like Annie
• 17:56
  and Catherine retired, right? And then Sarah's trying, but you
• 18:01
  know, not in it. She's like, like the like for
• 18:05
  the longest time, the best women in CrossFit.
• 18:08
  We're all from Iceland. I know it's one country.
• 18:10
  It's not even part of continental Europe, but but you
• 18:15
  had this European feel and I think there was a lot of
• 18:18
  European fans because of because of them, like they were the
• 18:20
  biggest. Thing.
• 18:22
  And women always have more followers than men do, just
• 18:25
  period. It's just how it is on
• 18:26
  Instagram. And I think that drove Europe's
• 18:31
  fandom a little bit because they had people to root for.
• 18:34
  And then and they're gone. And then like Laura is their
• 18:39
  best one. And Laura, you know, doesn't
• 18:42
  care for CrossFit. Tia took over the world, right?
• 18:45
  And she's Australia. How's Australia looking in
• 18:47
  CrossFit? Oh, they like it pretty good,
• 18:49
  right? You see what I'm saying?
• 18:51
  Because T is the freaking GOAT, right?
• 18:52
  So. I hear ya.
• 18:54
  I don't. I don't know if I'd agree with
• 18:55
  you though that. But on top of that, on top of
• 18:59
  that, and then you had Lazar happen and your best, your best
• 19:04
  athlete boycotted the CrossFit Games after that like I would.
• 19:07
  Yeah, I would say, yeah, I would, I would say 7580% of the
• 19:11
  drop off is Lazar related from Lazar.
• 19:15
  And you know, I, I don't travel to European competitions and
• 19:22
  speak with everybody there, but I, I mean, they've, they've
• 19:27
  always, they've, yeah, they've always, yeah, we do have a
• 19:29
  correspondent over there. I feel like they've always kind
• 19:33
  of felt slighted. I can't believe you're drinking
• 19:35
  or rain at 8:00 at night buddy. It's intense.
• 19:39
  We're burning the candle at both ends, right?
• 19:41
  Now. Eat another chip, it'll wake you
• 19:45
  up. Yeah.
• 19:46
  But I feel like they they've always felt slighted from the
• 19:49
  American side, like of HQ, like out in Europe.
• 19:53
  And then how one of one of theirs dies and it don't feel
• 19:59
  like it was handled properly properly and that they, right or
• 20:02
  wrong feel like it was. Handled differently because it
• 20:06
  was somebody in Europe versus somebody in the United States.
• 20:09
  In the comments, if you are from Europe and you know your gym's
• 20:13
  de affiliated or you feel pissed off about HQ, please tell us.
• 20:16
  And I'm not just saying that the.
• 20:17
  Base is commenting. I really do want to know.
• 20:20
  Yeah, throw in the comments after the show too, because most
• 20:23
  of the time the the Europeans drop the comments in the
• 20:25
  morning, Yeah, as they watch us. On and I don't want to speak for
• 20:28
  a whole country, right so or a continent, continent or a
• 20:32
  continent. But either one's probably not
• 20:35
  worth it. No, but I, I do.
• 20:38
  I just think that do you, you don't think any of that has a
• 20:43
  little bit to do with the lack of I?
• 20:48
  I think you're, I think you're hitting on something that they
• 20:51
  could lean into more that they probably haven't considered.
• 20:53
  It's probably a little bit more expensive.
• 20:55
  Because CrossFit embraced the daughters.
• 20:58
  Yeah. Like like they're.
• 20:59
  Not doing this. Over there right now, like all
• 21:01
  of the posts were about the daughters.
• 21:03
  Like all of like it was. Push, push the athletes over
• 21:07
  there up right now, the Lucy Mcgonigal and Campbell, Who else
• 21:11
  is over there? Well, this is bad.
• 21:14
  Like it's hard like because, well, I mean, he's he's
• 21:17
  whatever. But like Emma Tall, Gabby
• 21:19
  Magawa, Gabby Gabby's on the comeback train.
• 21:23
  Gabby's going to be big, but Emma tall was big.
• 21:25
  We don't know if she's doing it or not doing it right.
• 21:30
  Like, but like, you know, the guys, they don't BKG was the
• 21:33
  best thing and he's, you know, been on retired legs for five
• 21:37
  years. Annual Kai.
• 21:39
  That's. Right, but he didn't qualify.
• 21:42
  Like it's hard to get a focus on him.
• 21:46
  Start getting into Tom. King and Harry Lightfoot.
• 21:49
  He needs some more. Some more love.
• 21:52
  No, no. No.
• 21:55
  No pawns. No pawns.
• 21:58
  Albania. Tehrani.
• 22:02
  Terrain. Terrain.
• 22:03
  Yeah. I don't know how to pronounce
• 22:05
  it. All right, here we go.
• 22:08
  What is the capital of? Albania.
• 22:13
  Tirana. Tirana.
• 22:16
  Tirana there you. Go PC.
• 22:20
  Every week he. Knows somebody that has gone.
• 22:22
  To Europe a few times CrossFit HQ became political.
• 22:26
  And American. Centric.
• 22:30
  Explain to me how it's. Political at all.
• 22:31
  And don't give me this, don't give me word control bullshit.
• 22:36
  They're just a sponsor and. Yeah, I don't see the politics.
• 22:41
  In it, I mean, there's the politics.
• 22:42
  Maybe he thinks rich. Froning is is with the American
• 22:46
  shorts and like we're just being pro America, dude, you know
• 22:48
  what? But like, here's hard, hard.
• 22:52
  Roman's Asian, right? He's.
• 22:55
  Russian by. Which is Asian.
• 23:00
  Right, like I look. At Roman as a European, and he's
• 23:03
  not at all, but I like just. They just don't.
• 23:08
  Have any big? Representation man like Lucy
• 23:11
  Lucy's the biggest 1 Amy Kringle but.
• 23:16
  I don't know if they. They don't get on Amy Kringle
• 23:19
  and Lucy Campbell HQ. I'm talking about the way they
• 23:23
  did the daughters and I don't know if they're just not as
• 23:26
  marketable, but it's I, I think that plays a role in too, I
• 23:32
  would say. Across the board.
• 23:35
  The marketing media. Is not going to be what it was,
• 23:39
  yeah. 201213148 years ago, sure. Yeah. 77 market the heck out of
• 23:46
  Amy Kringle. He wouldn't get off of her.
• 23:49
  I mean. Lucy Lucy Mcgonigal is.
• 23:53
  As marketable as they. Come I I just don't believe that
• 23:56
  as an up and Comer. Yeah, for yeah on the.
• 23:59
  At least on the Tia side. We have kids.
• 24:05
  Yeah, we, we got 1 coming. We got, we got.

  We. Suck.

• 27:13
  It's not Blair. All right, I'm talking can.
• 27:15
  You hear me? Good.
• 27:16
  You know how to do it. We're all good on your side, you
• 27:19
  guys. You guys run into technical
• 27:21
  difficulties every show. You did on set 1.
• 27:25
  Show I felt so bad because you just kept working through it.
• 27:28
  I was like, all right guys, here we go.
• 27:30
  You know, that was, that was. My bad.
• 27:31
  I thought I was trying to be clever and getting like the
• 27:34
  quietest place I could, but it ended up like blocking out the
• 27:38
  Wi-Fi 'cause it was one of those red saunas.
• 27:41
  Oh yeah. Yeah.
• 27:44
  Yo, now we're good. Now we're solid.
• 27:47
  Now we're good now. We're good.
• 27:48
  I can hear you. Hello.
• 27:49
  Hello I can. See you guys.
• 27:51
  Laughing. And I was like, oh, they're
• 27:52
  just, they're just flown at us. Norcal never gets the details
• 27:57
  right. We got.
• 27:59
  Ben Alderman. Blair Morrison, the guys behind
• 28:02
  the Northern California Classic and which the qualifiers
• 28:07
  underway already. So sign up or no you.
• 28:12
  Can't sign up? Yeah, you can sign.
• 28:13
  Up you can sign up all on it's. Ongoing.
• 28:18
  I feel a little bad the last time.
• 28:19
  I see I saw these guys was on Hiller's show.
• 28:23
  Good to see you since. I thought that was a great.
• 28:28
  Show. I thought.
• 28:29
  It was too. Yeah, it was good.
• 28:31
  I'm. Glad.
• 28:32
  I'm glad we're back, I'm glad we're doing another semi final.
• 28:35
  It's good. Yeah, even though.
• 28:38
  It's it's currently underwater is.
• 28:41
  It underwater. Still.
• 28:44
  No, it's all dried. Out right now, yeah.
• 28:46
  Wait, what happened to the? The grounds flood.
• 28:50
  Sprinkler, Sprinkler. Leak.
• 28:55
  No, there's a there's. 2. Rivers.
• 28:57
  Yeah, Two Rivers. Is that the?
• 28:58
  Confluence of two rivers. So it's just it always floods
• 29:00
  every winter. Oh.
• 29:03
  OK, John was worried. I.
• 29:05
  Was like he was. What?
• 29:08
  I can't swim, guys. I can't.
• 29:10
  I can't swim. That wasn't a part.
• 29:13
  That wasn't on the standards. Yeah.
• 29:17
  So the Northern. California back for a second
• 29:19
  year. Any any hesitation about coming?
• 29:23
  Back and and continuing on with a qualifier for the games.
• 29:29
  No, I not not for. Me and I, I don't think for
• 29:32
  Blair, I mean, we just want to make sure that we nail it this
• 29:34
  time around and get everything right.
• 29:36
  And Blair and I were committed to that from the moment that
• 29:39
  2025 event ended to bring a really good event.
• 29:43
  So we're stoked to be back. Awesome.
• 29:46
  Yeah, wasn't any hesitation. On that, we were just hoping we
• 29:49
  didn't get the axe after one year, you know, because of a
• 29:53
  couple bad, bad, bad moments. Overall, we still felt like the
• 29:58
  event was it's something that the community like wants and
• 30:01
  it's definitely different and that's a good thing.
• 30:04
  So like Ben said, if we can, you know, deliver.
• 30:07
  This year, tighten. The screws a little bit for the
• 30:09
  elites and make sure that we're not missing anything.
• 30:13
  Then I think this is the. I think this is the type of the
• 30:17
  type of event the community wants.
• 30:19
  Now I think if we look back. In in 10 years, it it like it
• 30:23
  will be a fun story and it'll be like something to be like, yeah,
• 30:26
  first year. That first year was.
• 30:28
  Rough but now we're killing it. But like, vibes were high.
• 30:31
  I stand by like I thought everybody was like vibes and the
• 30:34
  vibes were almost unmatched. It's just a whole bunch of
• 30:39
  different things and like. But the vibes thing is.
• 30:42
  Like it? It is so important.
• 30:44
  Like we don't have that many semifinals that like if we were
• 30:47
  just slam, especially like you guys killed North America, like
• 30:50
  you, you made it feel like a, a community get together again, a
• 30:55
  a real like regional sort of feel.
• 30:58
  And it's like we can't, we can't lose that.
• 30:59
  So I was stoked when I heard you guys were coming back.
• 31:04
  It's Taylor Ban. He sent a handwritten.
• 31:08
  Apology note to all people that he needed to.
• 31:10
  So he's good. He wants to come back, right,
• 31:12
  right back on the floor. That's good.
• 31:15
  He's the the the. Headway counter.
• 31:17
  Actually, he's he's a technical. Official Next.
• 31:21
  Year, Yeah, a technical call. Well, you guys are the, I mean
• 31:26
  the open is the official start, but you guys with the Norcal
• 31:32
  online qualifier, it is officially underway, right?
• 31:36
  And so what's it like? To have a.
• 31:39
  Qualifier this early, like does that move your planning up like
• 31:43
  significantly when you think about, you know, the competition
• 31:46
  because you guys have all that stuff done early, yet you're not
• 31:51
  going to have everybody on the competition floor until June?
• 31:55
  I mean, I think. I think in some ways it helps,
• 31:58
  you know, it gets us started. Like registration for us opens
• 32:01
  in October, like we do early bird for two months, October to
• 32:04
  November and then we do like official registration in
• 32:08
  December. So it just kind of it helps.
• 32:10
  I don't, I don't know how Ben feels, but I think it helps.
• 32:13
  It helps us. Kind of not get.
• 32:16
  Lazy and it make this like a year round project and you know
• 32:22
  we in the beginning we used to do it just to avoid the CrossFit
• 32:25
  season. We tried, we were trying to do
• 32:27
  it before the open, before quarterfinals and it just.
• 32:34
  The way it ended up working out. For us, now that we're in the
• 32:37
  middle of the season, it's actually better because it
• 32:40
  instead of us having to wait six months from from January until
• 32:43
  September, now we're only waiting four months, which I
• 32:46
  mean, that's that's more ideal, I think for the athletes.
• 32:50
  Yeah, I think. That with.
• 32:52
  What Blair is saying too is we've always been in January for
• 32:55
  our qualifier. And so for us in terms of
• 32:57
  timetable and scheduling, Blair and i's calendar has already
• 33:00
  been cooked. For the last five or six years
• 33:02
  we've been doing this. And so it's it's pretty easy and
• 33:05
  it's it's seamless for us. It's nice to have not to have to
• 33:09
  adjust that part of our stuff because we've been in September
• 33:12
  for the main event. But that's the thing that
• 33:14
  increased the intensity for our timetable was, was moving it up
• 33:18
  to June last year and then this year May.
• 33:20
  So it's really not the qualifier, it's the main event
• 33:23
  timing that that changes it for us.
• 33:27
  Larry Young for all the. Criticism, it's the real deal,
• 33:29
  people loving fitness. The huge loss if the North Cal
• 33:32
  classic was not back. So thanks Larry.
• 33:35
  That's thanks, Larry. Yeah.
• 33:38
  So yeah, the the online qualifier started on the 9th,
• 33:41
  it's going through the 25th. Obviously we talk about the
• 33:45
  semifinal and the the guys and girls fighting for the
• 33:48
  qualifying spots to try to make it to the games, but you guys
• 33:51
  have how many? More divisions and.
• 33:54
  And I mean, thousand plus people there, right?
• 33:58
  Yeah, I. I don't know how many.
• 34:00
  Divisions it is, Blair. Do you have that number off the
• 34:01
  top of your head, say 1000 divisions, something like that?
• 34:05
  Yeah, it's, it's roughly, roughly. 1,000,000 divisions,
• 34:08
  yeah, I mean we have, we have, we got 1212 age group divisions
• 34:16
  if you can't count male and female.
• 34:18
  And then we got the novice scaled intermediate, RX and then
• 34:25
  the elites. And then you have the pairs of
• 34:28
  the scaled intermediate and RX and elite pairs.
• 34:31
  So it's a lot. I mean, like you said, it's
• 34:32
  1000. It's going to be about 1000
• 34:34
  people again and we're all we do.
• 34:37
  We're getting requests. Like in the offseason, like they
• 34:40
  want us to add adaptive divisions.
• 34:43
  The Masters are always asking for scaled Masters divisions.
• 34:48
  And that's, that's not anything that we're doing this year.
• 34:50
  But just to the point about it being a community event, that's
• 34:53
  the kind of stuff that like people want to be there, be a
• 34:56
  part of it. And, you know, we got to kind of
• 34:59
  grow with with demand, but also keep, you know, keep it
• 35:05
  manageable. Yeah, it's.
• 35:09
  A. It's a big undertaking, I'm
• 35:10
  sure, to try to do all that on top of being the you.
• 35:14
  Know one of the official. Semifinals 6 workouts.
• 35:19
  You guys are known for throwing something.
• 35:22
  New out. There, I guess the biggest one
• 35:25
  this year is the Bushwackers. That'd be your.
• 35:28
  Yeah, that'd be the the. One the one movement out there
• 35:31
  that I don't even really think it's that like.
• 35:32
  Crazy of a movement. It's just a name somebody hasn't
• 35:35
  heard before. Yeah, so.
• 35:38
  The movement is actually from I think 3 years ago, right Blair?
• 35:41
  Is it 3-4? Years ago I.
• 35:45
  Think it's 2. Two qualifiers ago, O2
• 35:47
  qualifiers ago, so. We actually threw this in two
• 35:51
  years ago to our qualifier and because we weren't a semi
• 35:54
  finals, not a lot of people paid attention to it and we didn't
• 35:58
  have a name for it. Blair actually came up with the
• 36:00
  name. So it was because of the
• 36:03
  wrestlers. The WWE wrestlers used to walk
• 36:05
  out the Bushwackers and like, you know that thing.
• 36:08
  And so he's like, dude, that's what it looks like.
• 36:10
  We're kind of doing that. So let's go with that.
• 36:12
  And it was it was really cool. So, I mean, with the Bushwackers
• 36:16
  this year, we have traveling double unders, the Burpee
• 36:19
  shuttle, Yeah, and shoulder taps, which aren't necessarily
• 36:23
  all those things aren't always in a single qualifier.
• 36:25
  But you know, what are you going to do?
• 36:27
  That's what we do. You ruined that workout for.
• 36:29
  Me. Yeah, with that.
• 36:32
  I was like, dude, I'm going. To smoke this.
• 36:33
  And then I looked at the last thing and I was like, well,
• 36:37
  never mind. That's a hard workout.
• 36:41
  Man, I've. Watched a lot of people.
• 36:43
  At our gym doing it and the the the the the shuttle and the
• 36:48
  lunges or just like wrecking people now.
• 36:52
  I love the Barb. I've I've only done the barbell
• 36:54
  chipper out of a out of all the workouts and it was disgusting.
• 36:58
  I don't I didn't care for it at all.
• 37:01
  I was like. This is this.
• 37:02
  Is just easy. Peasy pace after.
• 37:04
  The burpees will try to burn it down and it was just, it was
• 37:06
  disgusting. That's a.
• 37:08
  Good one, that's a good workout I hated.
• 37:11
  It the whole. Time I had to.
• 37:12
  What was your time? JY 930 dude, That's good man.
• 37:17
  That's a solid time I I felt. It.
• 37:19
  Yeah, I didn't. I didn't, like I said, I didn't
• 37:21
  care for it, but it's that, that, that, that and the
• 37:26
  shoulder overhead would probably be like I'm.
• 37:29
  That's the only thing I'm good at.
• 37:30
  Remember on the burpees though your feet.
• 37:31
  Have to both be in the air at the same time.
• 37:33
  Yes, I put my feet in the air. At the same time.
• 37:35
  Thank you. OK, OK.
• 37:39
  I have to. Do that later this week.
• 37:41
  I missed it on Monday. Hiller programmed it.
• 37:43
  He did the barbell chipper. Yeah.
• 37:45
  Oh, did he? I got to.
• 37:45
  I got to. Do that later.
• 37:47
  Yeah, it's. It's.
• 37:48
  Gross. That's a great, that's a great
• 37:49
  class. Workout.
• 37:50
  Yeah, yeah. Yeah, for sure.
• 37:53
  So people still can sign up, right?
• 37:54
  I mean, they have until the 25th to do the workouts, submit their
• 37:59
  scores, and then on the 25th, the scores.
• 38:03
  When will you guys know how many people will be advancing on to
• 38:09
  Norcal, at least in the elite division?
• 38:12
  We have that set already. We.
• 38:13
  Know how many people are allowed per division and we'll have the
• 38:16
  leaderboard finalized. I think we had a date for that
• 38:18
  already, right, Blair? What we were shooting for.
• 38:21
  Yeah, I mean the so the scores. Get get locked on January 25th
• 38:27
  and then we do the video review and that's going to be done I
• 38:30
  think on February, hopefully February 10th.
• 38:33
  So that's when you would see the leaderboard finalized and
• 38:35
  invitations go out. And the the elite division is
• 38:40
  that 35 spots for the men and 35 for the women come from the
• 38:44
  qualifier. And then there's 15 invites for
• 38:50
  the men and 15 invites for the women that that are outside of
• 38:54
  the qualifier. And two of those have already
• 38:58
  been taken from the past champions.
• 39:01
  And then the winners at Crash. Crash from this year.
• 39:07
  And so there's 13 at large invitations that are left over
• 39:10
  that won't be going out until after quarterfinals.
• 39:14
  John, you got a spot. We'll.
• 39:17
  See the invitation you just got to do good in.
• 39:18
  Quarterfinals, I got to, I got to make it.
• 39:20
  To semi finals. That's the hard part.
• 39:23
  For me, you know, The funny thing is we.
• 39:26
  Did 9:30 on. That chipper, he might make it
• 39:28
  in the qualifier and I did 2. I'll do 2 shoulder taps and then
• 39:32
  that'll be the end of that dream.
• 39:33
  So that'll be. And I'm going to tell you 40.
• 39:36
  Burpees was like the exact if it was. 50 it might have.
• 39:40
  Been 10/10/50 that time like like it was.
• 39:44
  That was the perfect. Could make it through it without
• 39:48
  dying. Nice.
• 39:50
  Yeah, but The thing is with the. Qualifying spots for these Games
• 39:54
  athletes. A lot of people have reached out
• 39:55
  to us already looking for invites because last year we did
• 39:58
  it based on. You know, it was a little bit
• 40:01
  more loose and we'd have a conversation about each athlete,
• 40:04
  their resume as a whole, who they were and what they've done
• 40:07
  in the sport. And then we make our decisions
• 40:09
  based on that. This year with the 50, with the
• 40:12
  quarterfinals and all that and what we're doing, the best way
• 40:16
  for an elite athlete to get into Norcal is by doing the
• 40:19
  qualifier. Because with the 35 spots and
• 40:22
  with the the depth of the qualifier, anybody's been to the
• 40:25
  Games in the last two years could, could do this as their
• 40:28
  third workout of the day and put in a score that's going to keep
• 40:32
  them pretty high on the leader board.
• 40:34
  So for 30 bucks and for, you know, a little bit of your time,
• 40:38
  you could actually get used to the North Cal programming and
• 40:41
  guarantee yourself a spot. Something bad happened.
• 40:44
  In quarterfinals? And you finished, you know, 2
• 40:46
  hundredths or something like that, you'd actually already
• 40:49
  have a spot because you earned it through through the online.
• 40:52
  Qualifier, you guys you're not waiting on.
• 40:55
  Anything either. Because it's the first.
• 40:57
  It's the first thing, Yeah. Yeah.
• 40:59
  So I mean there's. Another 13 invites that are
• 41:01
  still out there and you know, you guys are at the very tail
• 41:05
  end of semifinals, you and Syndicate and Torian and I think
• 41:10
  maybe Rebel Renegade games or something like that.
• 41:16
  Some people are going to go through this and.
• 41:17
  They're going to fail, right? They're going to take 5th, 6th
• 41:20
  or whatever. They're not going to qualify.
• 41:22
  Are there going to be spots left at the very end or you guys
• 41:25
  planning on filling those 13 spots pretty quickly after
• 41:28
  quarterfinals? Like, you know, don't, don't
• 41:32
  think that you're going to try and then, you know, nearly miss
• 41:35
  qualifying somewhere like say legends and then you guys are
• 41:39
  going to save them because they didn't get it.
• 41:42
  Yeah, I don't think that's going to.
• 41:43
  Happen this year because because the online event is after all
• 41:49
  the in person stuff I think what's going to happen is the
• 41:51
  athletes are going to take their shot at one event in person
• 41:55
  right and they're not going to tear themselves apart if they.
• 42:02
  Say they do finish 5th. And then like, OK, the next
• 42:05
  one's two weeks away. Like you heard the athletes last
• 42:08
  year, like that was killing them doing multiple in person events.
• 42:11
  I don't think that's going to that's going to fly.
• 42:12
  So our goal is to get them filled relatively quickly.
• 42:17
  You know, we we talked about this and you know, our goal is
• 42:21
  to. Hit if you.
• 42:22
  Qualify top 50 for quarterfinals, then you're
• 42:25
  you're in the invite pool. And then after that it goes down
• 42:29
  to all right, of those top 50 people, what was your, what was
• 42:32
  your finish position last year in the season?
• 42:35
  You know, did you get to the games?
• 42:37
  Did you make it through semifinals?
• 42:38
  And whoever the top people are between the quarterfinals this
• 42:42
  year and what they did at the end of the year last year,
• 42:46
  that's who we're going to. Send the invites.
• 42:47
  To and if, you know, they get declined, then we'll go down to
• 42:50
  the next person on the list. And I think the athletes are
• 42:53
  going to kind of be getting multiple invitations and they're
• 42:56
  just going to have to choose which event they want to go to
• 42:58
  in person, if at all, you know, because our goal is going.
• 43:00
  To be to fill it right. We want to fill our field and
• 43:03
  make sure that we have our roster set.
• 43:05
  We want to print jerseys. We want to make sure we have the
• 43:07
  things for the athletes and people are showing up Two weeks,
• 43:10
  you know, before they're telling us, two weeks before they want
• 43:12
  to come. You know, we it's hard for us to
• 43:14
  save spots. That creates A logistical
• 43:16
  nightmare, you know, and we we don't want that.
• 43:18
  And so I think this year we're going to be a lot more rigid and
• 43:21
  in terms of how we make those decisions and make it really
• 43:24
  clear from the beginning. So I can't.
• 43:27
  Imagine why Anybody. Would not want to come to Nortel
• 43:29
  with our prize purse and with 50 people in the field.
• 43:32
  If you're a good athlete and you don't have weaknesses, your
• 43:34
  competitors who do have a weakness, they're going to pay
• 43:36
  for that a lot more with a lot of people finishing between them
• 43:39
  and the other spots. But you know what I mean.
• 43:42
  If people are trying. To game it, I don't know what
• 43:44
  they're going to do and the. The and it'll.
• 43:48
  Work like last year right Spend so say like if Colton already
• 43:51
  had an invite like he did last year, the 2nd place person would
• 43:55
  get the. Get the ticket.
• 43:57
  Right second and third, correct? Yep, if he.
• 44:00
  Decides to do a second another one, which I guess you guys are
• 44:03
  going to let them. If Colton wins Mayhem, he can
• 44:07
  come out to Norcal and scoop up that cash, too.
• 44:11
  I hope he does. I mean.
• 44:13
  He didn't scoop it last year. So it's not like it's a given.
• 44:17
  No, I know. I know.
• 44:18
  Right now, so far, Paige and Colton, they haven't.
• 44:22
  They've been invited, but they haven't registered yet.
• 44:25
  But Gazan and Bill Leahy have both registered, so they're
• 44:29
  already in Nice. Wow, Alex Connor.
• 44:32
  Shot early, yeah, that's been. Last.
• 44:35
  Year that's. Spins winner of the games.
• 44:37
  That's right, that's my prediction for the games.
• 44:39
  That's a good prediction right there.
• 44:41
  I like that spin. So he saw that 2.
• 44:43
  O5. Go up.
• 44:45
  He was. He's blinded, by the way.
• 44:47
  That's what I needed to see is her.
• 44:48
  Do a good snatch and other than that I think she's she's in.
• 44:55
  We get to. Norcal, same place as last year.
• 44:59
  What's the plan for coverage and you know, kind of how you guys
• 45:03
  are going to let the community see what's going on?
• 45:07
  As far as like the broadcast? Yeah.
• 45:10
  You guys have a broadcast this? Year.
• 45:11
  I know you guys worked with Sivan last year, ESPN, something
• 45:14
  like that. Yeah.
• 45:16
  Yeah, there's a there's a bidding war between all the
• 45:19
  major networks. You get major bidding.
• 45:21
  War, no. Our plan is to have.
• 45:25
  Sivan, Sivan back again. We were happy with the coverage
• 45:28
  last year. I thought they covered it really
• 45:30
  well minus the last event on the on the floor but plenty of
• 45:39
  blame. To go around.
• 45:40
  There, yeah, that's, that's our plan.
• 45:44
  But I mean we want as much coverage as we can.
• 45:47
  We do have like an Internet issue there.
• 45:49
  It's it's in a, you know, because it's outdoors in a park,
• 45:52
  there's not a lot of coverage. So that does take some kind.
• 45:57
  Of ingenuity and. The fact that they've already
• 45:59
  done it once before, I think is is good.
• 46:01
  I think it'll be even better this year.
• 46:04
  Don't worry about it. I know.
• 46:05
  See if Souza has to now that he's got a runway, he'll he'll
• 46:08
  dig a trench with just some hard, hard lines out there and
• 46:12
  OK, you guys would be fine. We'll, we'll.
• 46:15
  Figure it. We'll figure it out.
• 46:16
  They're they're very creative. Yeah, guys.
• 46:22
  If you guys have not signed up and you want to go out there to
• 46:24
  Sacramento last weekend of May, early June, go sign up, watch or
• 46:30
  just watch vendors. Do they still room for vendors?
• 46:35
  Oh yeah. Plenty.
• 46:38
  I know you guys have made it always better financially, a
• 46:42
  little bit easier for the vendors to get out there.
• 46:44
  So you have a ton of vendors, probably best vendor village
• 46:47
  ever anywhere. Yeah, I mean, we, we have.
• 46:50
  We have tons of athletes. Honestly though you know what I
• 46:52
  mean. Other semi finals don't have the
• 46:53
  same community divisions, so we have 1000 athletes coming
• 46:56
  through there. So it just looks more attractive
• 46:58
  to your vendors. They want to be out there.
• 47:00
  There's 1000 athletes already going to be out there, which
• 47:02
  means there's going to be 3000 or 4000 people out there.
• 47:05
  You know, so it's just, it's just a good vibe for the from
• 47:08
  the vendor perspective, from the spectator perspective, we're
• 47:10
  going to make it that way. From the athlete perspective,
• 47:13
  we've always done our best to take care of our volunteers.
• 47:15
  So you know, we try to check every box and we're going to
• 47:18
  make sure we come through this year for sure.
• 47:20
  And it's not hard to get. Around either like you would
• 47:22
  think it's like crowded and there's a lot of people without
• 47:26
  it feeling crowded. I don't I don't know how to like
• 47:28
  verbalize that well, but like you, it's not hard to get around
• 47:32
  at all the for the Internet problems if you get past.
• 47:39
  That. Everything's phenomenal.
• 47:41
  It's that's where Blair's at right now.
• 47:42
  You. Can see he's actually at a
• 47:43
  discovery party right now, so whatever which you can.
• 47:48
  Expect if you want to compete, go to Competition Corner, search
• 47:52
  Northern California Classic online qualifier, go register
• 47:55
  for that. When does it end?
• 47:57
  What's the end? Date January 25th. 25th.
• 48:00
  January 25th. You have until.
• 48:01
  To submit all six scores. If you're a vendor, reach out to
• 48:05
  these guys. Go fill out a vendor
• 48:08
  application. Get out there Volunteers.
• 48:10
  Is that open? You guys still looking for
• 48:12
  volunteers? Yep.
• 48:14
  A. 100%, yeah. So go out there.
• 48:17
  Check it out and go visit Sacramento if you're not out
• 48:20
  there and bring back Beyond the. Barbell.
• 48:24
  Hey, what are we doing? What are we doing?
• 48:26
  Dude. They don't people who they know,
• 48:29
  if they know, they know they know.
• 48:30
  You know, do you know who this? Guy is.
• 48:33
  Who? Cross fast me oh cross I.
• 48:36
  Have no idea who he is? No.
• 48:38
  Is he troll? No, he knows.
• 48:40
  He, he, he. Works at HQ and nobody knows who
• 48:43
  he is. We're trying.
• 48:45
  We've tried. We've tried really hard to
• 48:47
  figure it out. We can't figure it out.
• 48:49
  He knows way too much. About stuff you're like, why do
• 48:52
  you know about that? He's like back in the day.
• 48:54
  Guy, He's like Hobart's friend. It's probably Eddie.
• 48:58
  Is we? Thought for the longest time it
• 48:59
  was James Hobart. I still.
• 49:02
  Kind of think it is. But I love James.
• 49:06
  He has commented. Before with James and James
• 49:09
  refused it. No.
• 49:11
  He's the worst. OK, OK.
• 49:14
  It's dawn fall. It's dawn fall.
• 49:17
  Yeah, 100%. Ben Blair, thank you guys.
• 49:23
  Good luck this year. Can't wait to see what you guys
• 49:25
  have lined up for. How many of you guys?
• 49:30
  Are going to be there this year, we're going to be doing.
• 49:33
  We we don't know. Yeah, I think we're like honest
• 49:36
  answer. We don't know because they're on
• 49:38
  the same day. So I think we're like, I, I
• 49:41
  assume we're having double, double teams going out and we
• 49:44
  just went I, I, I don't know where I'm going to be at.
• 49:47
  Maybe Tyler knows that he's going to be at Syndicate, but we
• 49:50
  don't. I told you, dude, you're doing
• 49:51
  both. You're doing.
• 49:52
  Both Syndicate and Norcal time flights.
• 49:55
  Going to be. Off the charts.
• 49:56
  But it's worth it, you know? I'll do it.
• 49:58
  I'll do it for. The love of the game, if the
• 49:59
  flights are, if the flights are paid for, I will, I will do it
• 50:03
  for the love of the game, of behind the scenes.
• 50:05
  Of CrossFit semifinals. Just.
• 50:08
  Following John camera around in airports being like, I'm so
• 50:11
  tired. We'll try to make that happen.
• 50:13
  Maybe crossfat will come. In and run the other side of it.
• 50:16
  Yeah, well it would be. He would be a.
• 50:18
  Good one to run it. He's Tony Budding, so yeah.
• 50:22
  He knows he has. Drones for you guys.
• 50:25
  So he has the drones set up, We're good.
• 50:28
  So wow. All right, guys, Really.
• 50:31
  Appreciate it and good luck with the rest of the qualifier and
• 50:34
  and the semi final. Thank you guys.
• 50:37
  Talk to you guys later, yeah? Thank you.
• 50:39
  Let's. Get these guys out of here.
• 50:43
  Get out of here. Tyler, do you know where
• 50:46
  everybody's at? There we go.
• 50:47
  No, we. Don't know.
• 50:48
  Anything OK you? Just said like like I mean like
• 50:52
  I. Guess my assumption.
• 50:54
  My, well, my assumption is I'm in Pennsylvania, so it's a lot
• 50:57
  of the hell of a lot easier for me to go to.
• 50:59
  Yeah, but like like Bill would be.
• 51:00
  At Norcal, I'm keeping Bill, so my Bill's.
• 51:04
  Going all the way to syndicate. And.
• 51:07
  Then and I'm flying all the way up to.
• 51:08
  California and yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, we're going to cross and
• 51:11
  you're actually sending Spandatorian.
• 51:13
  Is that the plan though? There.
• 51:16
  I don't know. We don't know you.
• 51:18
  Understand how it works, John. OK, Susan.
• 51:21
  What's the plan, Susan? What?
• 51:23
  Tell us the plan, Susan. What are we doing?
• 51:28
  Like I'm looking. I'm like, yeah, he's here.

• 51:32
  Plans. Like I know the plan.
• 51:35
  We do not. Yeah, OK.

• 57:52
  We had one of the comments so they.
• 57:53
  Didn't see any advertising for the open.
• 57:56
  They've gone pretty hard. All the games athletes looks
• 58:00
  like they've had the collaborated with the games to
• 58:03
  post some video of them and saying that they're in the open.
• 58:08
  Is that good? Good, good.
• 58:09
  Work for them at at the ranch. No, no, John's.
• 58:15
  Been off Instagram all day. Oh, I'm sorry.

• 58:56
  Name be the Dark Alley milks. Yes, dark.

• 59:14
  Is that good? Is that going to get anybody to
• 59:15
  sign? Up.
• 59:16
  I think it definitely helps like.
• 59:17
  CNN I didn't see any European athlete.
• 59:21
  No wonder. Super political, no Mir.
• 59:26
  I've been pretty sure Mir Ham. Put one out there.
• 59:28
  Oh man, I wouldn't. I would not see Mir him.
• 59:32
  I got an eye for Mir him, but you didn't see Mir.
• 59:35
  Hum yeah, these no, I believe. You.
• 59:40
  I trust you. I mean, I think these
• 59:42
  definitely. Help.
• 59:43
  Like, you'll get it basically no matter what athlete you follow.
• 59:46
  And it's easy. This is easy for them to pull.
• 59:49
  You know, they're just pulling games footage and clipping it to
• 59:52
  get out there. Yeah.
• 59:55
  It's cool for the. American is she?
• 59:58
  Going to win the Open again. Two time open winner.
• 1:00:01
  I mean, if it's the same stuff that we've rinse, lather,
• 1:00:05
  repeated for the last three years, yeah.
• 1:00:07
  Wait time out. Are we going?
• 1:00:09
  With orange, was that in the color scheme there?
• 1:00:14
  What we've changed the color scheme, we're not going with
• 1:00:16
  lime green anymore. The lime Green's out.
• 1:00:19
  Thank God. So I like if we're going.
• 1:00:24
  Going orange. And blue, That's a circa what,
• 1:00:27
  2015? What do you think the worst
• 1:00:30
  color? Is I.
• 1:00:34
  Think. Lime green is up there like.
• 1:00:37
  A yellow green. No, definitely like PEA.
• 1:00:39
  Green. Is that not like a yellow?
• 1:00:43
  Green. It's.
• 1:00:44
  Kind of yellow green, but it's. It's more putrid.
• 1:00:47
  Yeah, that's that's another. Advantage of the Rogue Echo ski
• 1:00:50
  is you don't have the lime green.
• 1:00:53
  I don't get people. Succession with that I I don't
• 1:00:56
  either, Tyler. You know, you could paint your
• 1:00:57
  own. Handles if it bothers you that
• 1:00:59
  bad, I do. Think because they did.
• 1:01:01
  Say eventually they'll have just all all the colors and you could
• 1:01:05
  just pick which colors you want. I think that's cool, but like I
• 1:01:08
  don't it's got. Red hands.
• 1:01:11
  Like I, I don't. I like.
• 1:01:16
  I. Do think?
• 1:01:17
  I do think that will. Owning the gym and matching it
• 1:01:20
  to your color, it's kind of cool.
• 1:01:22
  Yeah, yeah, for sure. Yeah.
• 1:01:25
  So are you changing your mind about your opinion Tyler your
• 1:01:30
  your prediction for the open registrations after day one when
• 1:01:33
  when I saw that the. That the registrations were up
• 1:01:36
  today. Well, at first they seemed like
• 1:01:38
  they weren't going to be up and then they they finally got over
• 1:01:42
  the captain and they way, way exceeded last year.
• 1:01:44
  I was like, it was a big sigh of relief.
• 1:01:48
  For those who don't know, I predicted it would be under
• 1:01:50
  200,000. And so I'm happy to be wrong.
• 1:01:53
  I'm really, I'm really happy to be wrong.
• 1:01:57
  I think it's over 300. Thousand, I think you're.
• 1:02:00
  Wrong I. Think you're wrong by more
• 1:02:03
  people that died in Hiroshima, OK.
• 1:02:08
  That's how much I think you're wrong.
• 1:02:11
  I. Want you to?
• 1:02:12
  Think of all the people. That died a horrific death.
• 1:02:15
  This is what I want to be thinking about.
• 1:02:16
  On this, you know America. Decided to be dominant over
• 1:02:21
  Japan back in the day, getting too critical and how many people
• 1:02:26
  died because of that? I think that's how much you're
• 1:02:29
  wrong by good. I'm going to look that.
• 1:02:31
  Up how many people died in Hiroshima and we'll figure it
• 1:02:35
  out. I thought this was.
• 1:02:37
  Interesting. Guys, I'm getting over a
• 1:02:42
  sickness. OK, I know my voice is all like
• 1:02:45
  Carmody right now. I'm I promise I'm not like on
• 1:02:50
  anything I'm getting. Over.
• 1:02:52
  A sickness. So last night I put up.
• 1:02:54
  A poll on my stories. Will you register for the
• 1:02:57
  CrossFit Open 70? 5% said yes. 25% said no.
• 1:03:05
  Last year this was back in. November of last year, so before
• 1:03:09
  the hype and everything I said, will you sign up for the 2025
• 1:03:12
  CrossFit Open? 36% said yes whether they had
• 1:03:17
  done it before or not, and 64% in change said no, I'm not doing
• 1:03:25
  it whether I did it or not. It's a massive swing.
• 1:03:30
  Now I will say more people voted in the poll.
• 1:03:34
  Last year. Than this year OK, but it is.
• 1:03:37
  It is. Double the people.
• 1:03:41
  Are saying that they're going to do.
• 1:03:42
  It versus not do it this year. I did hear that some one of the
• 1:03:47
  big gyms in Brazil is back in, no?
• 1:03:51
  Yeah, for people acting like they're wondering why I was
• 1:03:56
  surprised about that. Brazil just fell off the face of
• 1:03:59
  the planet last year. Brazil.
• 1:04:01
  Brazil. It's a weird.
• 1:04:02
  It's weird, the research Tyler Tyler's been doing has been a
• 1:04:05
  lot of like open participation stuff and Brazil of.
• 1:04:09
  All. Countries like a non European
• 1:04:12
  country it. It was like.
• 1:04:16
  The Roanoke community. By.
• 1:04:19
  Like just and. And like.
• 1:04:23
  And nobody talked about it either, and it's just like they
• 1:04:27
  just all disappeared. It is wild.
• 1:04:31
  Dude this is like a reverse. Alpenpost.
• 1:04:34
  Yeah, you just like this. Is like the opposite of what he
• 1:04:38
  would have posted last year. Does that does that give you
• 1:04:42
  hope? Tyler, yes, Yeah, that I, I was.
• 1:04:46
  Looking to see how many returned last year to just to get a
• 1:04:51
  percentage to see how close this was like that 4%.
• 1:04:57
  It's pretty good. 286 / 10,000 four 744. 4%, I don't know what
• 1:05:08
  to how to do that. In off out of my head, but I
• 1:05:11
  just told you that's. Not 4%. 10,000 / 280.
• 1:05:15
  Yeah, 286 / 10. 1744 that's not that's.
• 1:05:19
  Not a percentage. Yes, it is.
• 1:05:24
  OK, well, it's it's it's four point. 7%, is it really?
• 1:05:28
  Yeah, that's crazy. If you're, you would not believe
• 1:05:31
  me. Yeah.
• 1:05:34
  With math, I'm a little bit more skeptical.
• 1:05:38
  It's 2. .6%. Dang it.
• 1:05:42
  Something it was in the force, so.
• 1:05:44
  It rounds up. It rounds up.
• 1:05:45
  The two way it's 2.66. Do you think it's just because
• 1:05:50
  people? Stop following me because they
• 1:05:52
  don't like cross it anymore. Yeah.
• 1:05:57
  You're too. Political.
• 1:05:58
  No, I just think the negative. People were a lot louder.
• 1:06:02
  I. Was wanting the the.
• 1:06:03
  The the European guy to do like he did with for WFP to post this
• 1:06:08
  too to see what that German guy. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 1:06:10
  Yeah, yeah. Yeah, we had a, We had a.
• 1:06:16
  Tremendous fall off last year like crazy.
• 1:06:20
  I think it all. Depends on do people come back?
• 1:06:22
  If they come back, the number grows.
• 1:06:24
  It's like, like John said, yeah, we'll just call it the year of
• 1:06:28
  the. Phoenix.
• 1:06:31
  Year of the Phoenix, yeah. Phoenix has to die to.
• 1:06:33
  Rise from the ashes, all pretty and young.
• 1:06:36
  You know that's what we're doing when I was.
• 1:06:38
  Looking at it, I, I really. I I have thought that we were,
• 1:06:41
  we were at our floor for like everybody who's left is diehards
• 1:06:49
  and it's. Time to start start.
• 1:06:50
  Making the comeback. Then let's start.
• 1:06:57
  Doing it. And predictions are completely
• 1:07:00
  the opposite of that. So anyway, that's the open
• 1:07:06
  wheel. Wait and see, Tyler.
• 1:07:08
  You'll keep track of it for us. Can't wait.
• 1:07:12
  You guys want to play a new game?
• 1:07:15
  Let's do it. I don't.
• 1:07:16
  Know what this is? I have no idea, but I'm ready
• 1:07:18
  for it. I don't think it's what you
• 1:07:20
  said. What's your idea, John?
• 1:07:21
  But it's. It's a little bit different, but
• 1:07:23
  it's your John's idea or my idea.
• 1:07:26
  I don't know which one. I don't know who.
• 1:07:28
  I don't have an idea. This week I did not.
• 1:07:32
  Have an idea this week? Tyler's the one who had an idea
• 1:07:34
  this week. It's like John's idea.
• 1:07:36
  I don't know. I don't.
• 1:07:39
  Know oh some of mine's got a great idea.
• 1:07:40
  There, James. Balls in your court, Lee Frazier
• 1:07:48
  only 20. Dollars I paid $100 Mayo Run
• 1:07:52
  marathon. That I would never win.
• 1:07:56
  Never her win. Never, Yeah.
• 1:08:00
  CrossFit. Still saved so many of us all
• 1:08:02
  sponsor one. Maybe 5:00-ish.
• 1:08:04
  Who will do that? Will you sign up if sponsored?
• 1:08:06
  Oh, she's going to throw out. Some open registrations.
• 1:08:10
  There we go, Somebody in. Here, weren't going to sign up.
• 1:08:13
  Don't lie to us. This is somebody like, yeah, I
• 1:08:15
  wouldn't sign up. Just get it paid for.
• 1:08:16
  Oh, but it's like, I don't know. I wouldn't.
• 1:08:18
  Do it. No.
• 1:08:19
  Yeah, yeah. I think if five people on here
• 1:08:24
  like sign up and then they could they show us like they DM us
• 1:08:28
  that they signed up and then I feel like we could somehow get
• 1:08:32
  Lee's money to them through minimum or something like Lee,
• 1:08:35
  Lee's saying to. Run.
• 1:08:36
  She she signed you up to run. No, no.
• 1:08:40
  No, I got. You.
• 1:08:44
  We have to figure something. Out there for for our fans,
• 1:08:47
  yeah. Stay tuned next.
• 1:08:49
  Week we'll have come up. Come up with something if you're
• 1:08:51
  not signing. Up what you like.
• 1:08:54
  You would, I think. You'll.
• 1:08:55
  Regret like if we if we bought you a sign up, if we'd comped
• 1:08:59
  one of your sign ups, you're not going to regret it.
• 1:09:02
  I don't know. It's just like me and the L1 if
• 1:09:04
  it. Gets comped for me.
• 1:09:05
  I will not regret taking it. That's true.
• 1:09:09
  Yeah. All right.
• 1:09:12
  Here we go. The game is called Picture this.
• 1:09:20
  I'm going to put a picture. Of a famous athlete that's not
• 1:09:23
  in CrossFit? OK, It's OK.
• 1:09:26
  I didn't think it was that, but. Go ahead and you guys are going
• 1:09:30
  to. Tell me which athlete, which
• 1:09:33
  CrossFit athlete you were reminded of.
• 1:09:36
  OK, I'm so excited for this. The team the.
• 1:09:40
  Disclaimer is you cannot. Pick the same athlete twice.
• 1:09:44
  Of course, of course. So.
• 1:09:47
  I need to write down who. If he's going, if he pulls up.
• 1:09:49
  Pablo Sanchez, I might walk out of this room now.
• 1:09:53
  So are. John and I allowed to pick
• 1:09:55
  different people. We're allowed to pick.
• 1:09:56
  I think we need to settle on. One OK, you guys got to settle.
• 1:10:00
  On it there's there's fifteen of them so.
• 1:10:05
  We'll see. All right.
• 1:10:06
  First one. Simone Biles all.
• 1:10:10
  Right, Tiny. Petite little thing, little
• 1:10:14
  gymnasty girl. Literally the definition of
• 1:10:17
  that. Emma Lawson.
• 1:10:21
  Dude, she's not. Small at all?
• 1:10:24
  What does it have to be small? Simone is.
• 1:10:26
  Not like she's not tiny in my immediate my.
• 1:10:29
  Immediate thought goes to like a.
• 1:10:34
  Camille. Type.
• 1:10:38
  But Camille's a little too. Good at everything.
• 1:10:40
  Like need somebody just good at gymnastics?
• 1:10:44
  What? What?
• 1:10:47
  OK, John, and. I have very different
• 1:10:48
  methodologies on how we're doing this.
• 1:10:50
  It can be. It can be from anybody.
• 1:10:52
  Any era too. It doesn't have to be like
• 1:10:53
  current. Oh see, I don't keep that in.

  Mind when I look at Simone, I look at at at prim and proper

  With that, I mean, Emily Bridgers is not that much better
• 1:12:09
  than Recker Fuzzy. I'm sticking by Emily Bridgers

  like because, just just because this is what I'm thinking.
• 1:12:17
  You're just good at gymnastics. Now I get that, Simone.
• 1:12:25
  Is like the best gymnast ever. But John, you're so you're.
• 1:12:29
  So stuck on the gymnastics thing.
• 1:12:31
  It's like we're picking different athletes.

• 1:13:18
  You guys suck. All right, 5-10, Kyra.

  Are you? Cancelled.
• 1:13:34
  Oh my. God.
• 1:13:38
  Oh, come on, Elizabeth. Akiwally, we could be better
• 1:13:40
  than that. That would be a bit more
• 1:13:42
  accurate. Here we go.
• 1:13:45
  Akiwally, what about Victor Hoffer?
• 1:13:49
  Oh. Dude, he's as Simone, Yeah.
• 1:13:52
  I get it. I get it because of the
• 1:13:55
  gymnastics. You know what I mean?
• 1:13:58
  No, but he's. Also like.
• 1:13:59
  Like all pretty, Pretty Little Frenchman.
• 1:14:04
  No, I'm sticking with Anthony Bridgers.
• 1:14:05
  All right? Yeah, Bridgers.
• 1:14:07
  Next up, LeBron James. There's one answer for this.
• 1:14:10
  There's. One answer.
• 1:14:11
  It's Matt. Fraser.
• 1:14:15
  I'm good, I'm good so. That wait, wait, wait, think
• 1:14:19
  about. This I was thinking about.
• 1:14:20
  Michael's the best. You're the best at everything.
• 1:14:24
  Yep, next. No, the goat.
• 1:14:27
  The GOAT of your sport. Think, think about it.
• 1:14:29
  You're the greatest. Player of All.
• 1:14:30
  Time. Yeah, no one.
• 1:14:32
  No fan hates Michael Jordan, but people hate LeBron James.
• 1:14:38
  Yeah. No, no, I'm with it.
• 1:14:39
  And and same thing, yeah. And Rich has and Rich has Rich
• 1:14:44
  is so like aura is half of his deal, like how you felt when he
• 1:14:49
  was competing is like everything to the people that you know, you
• 1:14:53
  know what I mean? Like it, it really is.
• 1:14:54
  And, and I understand and I would say Rich is the GOAT
• 1:14:57
  because of what he's done afterwards.
• 1:14:59
  I would say Rich is the greatest influence of all time.
• 1:15:03
  But actual just the best guy ever is Matt Fraser.
• 1:15:08
  Regardless of how you feel, I think we're in agreeance.
• 1:15:11
  I don't want to see this cause. Like Lebron's not better than
• 1:15:15
  Michael, but I will. I will let it go for now.
• 1:15:18
  Let's go next. Rattle Spring.
• 1:15:21
  Peyton Manning. This is tough.
• 1:15:24
  This is tough, OK? He's smarter than everybody.
• 1:15:28
  Like he's not. Actually.
• 1:15:29
  Like more talent. He's very talented, but he's not
• 1:15:32
  like Aaron Rodgers talented. He's but he is smarter than
• 1:15:36
  everybody I want to give him. A Jack.
• 1:15:39
  Farlow, dude, I bet I like your description, Brent.
• 1:15:42
  I'm thinking Pat. Downer.
• 1:15:46
  Because he's friendlier than. Pat.
• 1:15:50
  Pat's really friendly though. When?
• 1:15:51
  You know him like. Every athlete I've ever.
• 1:15:55
  Spoken to is like Pat's awesome. And just cause Pat's never been
• 1:15:58
  awesome to me doesn't mean he's not awesome when he's with other
• 1:16:01
  people. All I do is literally talk about
• 1:16:04
  how bad or good somebody is, right?
• 1:16:06
  Like every athlete I've spoken to that is like been with Pat in
• 1:16:12
  a friendly environment, say he's like, he's the funniest guy in
• 1:16:14
  the world. Yeah, but I don't think he's.
• 1:16:16
  Calculated like Peyton dude. Peace I I get.
• 1:16:20
  Your Brent Fukowski. I I I do.
• 1:16:22
  But Peyton's not like, quirky the way Brent is.
• 1:16:27
  Brent Brent is like a nerd. Peyton's just smart.
• 1:16:34
  You know Brent and Peyton. Had some.
• 1:16:37
  Troubles there early in the season and and you'll Payton
• 1:16:40
  Payton could. Never pass ready.
• 1:16:42
  He never could. Be like, you know what I mean?
• 1:16:46
  Yeah. I'll give you I'll.
• 1:16:50
  Give you a vellner my 5 votes still for do we we can vote on
• 1:16:56
  this one. Can we vote on this one?
• 1:16:57
  They're so alike. We're not.
• 1:16:58
  We're not. We're.
• 1:16:59
  Not I'm. I'm the tiebreaker.
• 1:17:02
  OK, OK. I'm going with Pat.
• 1:17:05
  All right, Next up, Serena Williams.
• 1:17:08
  Oh no, you're in a dark. Zone for me.
• 1:17:12
  What? What was?
• 1:17:12
  What's that supposed? To mean not a light zone.
• 1:17:15
  I don't know very much about dark.
• 1:17:16
  Zone Tyler, I don't know. Very much about.
• 1:17:19
  Serena, like I've never been a super fan of tennis, let alone,
• 1:17:23
  you know, athletes in tennis. Serena is very liberal.
• 1:17:30
  I think Danny is too easy of a thing to say, I think.
• 1:17:33
  I think saying Danny Spiegel is an insult to Serena because
• 1:17:36
  Serena is literally she's. Better than that.
• 1:17:41
  Oh, Laura got. It it's.
• 1:17:42
  Laura. Laura Yeah, yeah, I'm with.
• 1:17:47
  She's dominant. When you're dominant at
• 1:17:49
  something, you, you know what I mean?
• 1:17:50
  Like she, if she's a bit, she's good at, she's so much better
• 1:17:53
  than everybody. Even to you there is a likable
• 1:17:56
  quality. To Serena, though, that I don't
• 1:17:58
  think that would die. There's not look.
• 1:18:00
  Up some stuff about Serena, I promise you all.
• 1:18:03
  Right, Serena. Is Laura Next up?
• 1:18:08
  Caitlin Clark. Oh dude.
• 1:18:10
  I love Caitlin. Clark Oh, man.
• 1:18:12
  OK, It's Lucy. It is Lucy.
• 1:18:18
  Yes, dude, that's the best. Call.
• 1:18:20
  That's the best call. New on the sea, just taking kids
• 1:18:24
  to school. Same celebration there.
• 1:18:27
  Oh man, it. It's just a gamble.
• 1:18:29
  They even look kind of alike. Yeah, they're both very, very
• 1:18:32
  pale. Dude, that's.
• 1:18:34
  Caitlin. So like but you have to question
• 1:18:37
  though, it's like. Tia.
• 1:18:41
  No. Listen, Caitlin's not the.
• 1:18:43
  Best WMA player player ever just because she.
• 1:18:46
  She might. Be.
• 1:18:48
  But like, she literally had a rookie year and was hurt the
• 1:18:51
  next year. You can't, you know?
• 1:18:54
  Caitlin feels cool. Like Lucy too.
• 1:18:56
  Like you can hang with hang with Lucy, you can hang with Caitlin.
• 1:18:59
  I like this. Yes, that was the.
• 1:19:01
  Great. That was the best.
• 1:19:02
  All right, next one. Oh this is great.
• 1:19:07
  Very. Likable.
• 1:19:08
  This should have been packed. It's Jason.
• 1:19:11
  It's not Jason. It's not Jason.
• 1:19:13
  It's not Jason. Jason's smarter than Charles
• 1:19:16
  Barkley. I get.
• 1:19:18
  It I. Get I get wanting to say this is
• 1:19:21
  Jason, but like. Who else could it be?
• 1:19:26
  Have you seen Charles Barkley golf?
• 1:19:28
  Swing like Charles Barkley is too goofy to be Jason OK, the
• 1:19:32
  only reason I. Would change.
• 1:19:33
  I wouldn't consider Jason. Goofy Jason, He's just he's Who
• 1:19:37
  would you? Consider Goofy.
• 1:19:39
  He's a bro like. I wouldn't say he's goofy.
• 1:19:41
  He's smarter than you think he's he's.
• 1:19:44
  I think he sounds like Charles is too.
• 1:19:48
  John Young. Then.
• 1:19:49
  No, stop it. Just.
• 1:19:53
  Let's just think about. It for a minute.
• 1:19:57
  It's a little. Bit chubbier?
• 1:20:00
  Chubby, Justin. Maderas.
• 1:20:01
  No, who's? Dude, super.
• 1:20:10
  Likable who's? Super likable Chase.
• 1:20:15
  No, because Charles. 'S career like he's had a great
• 1:20:19
  commentating career, but his his basketball career was better
• 1:20:22
  Chase athletic career Chase isn't quite.
• 1:20:24
  Equal. Oh no.
• 1:20:28
  I. Wasn't going to say this.
• 1:20:29
  Travis Williams. No.
• 1:20:33
  Dude, this is a tough one man. The only reason?
• 1:20:37
  I don't want it to be. Jason, because Jason is Magic
• 1:20:39
  Johnson I. Don't know if he's Magic
• 1:20:41
  Johnson, but. Be.
• 1:20:45
  Has anybody commentated? That like after they.
• 1:20:51
  Yeah. Dude, it might be Stacey.
• 1:20:54
  Tovar. No, he's not.
• 1:20:58
  You might be right. I I.
• 1:20:59
  Can't think of another person because they have to be like
• 1:21:02
  really likable too, you know what I mean?
• 1:21:06
  Yeah. Jason could be.
• 1:21:08
  Shaq, Jason. Could be Shaq.
• 1:21:12
  I like Jason better Shaq than Charles.
• 1:21:16
  But. Charles is more likeable.
• 1:21:17
  Than Shaq. Shaq's just had a better career.
• 1:21:21
  This is really tough man. And like Jason and Alan.
• 1:21:24
  'S like. Can we come back to this one?
• 1:21:26
  No. I just don't have anybody that.
• 1:21:31
  Immediately comes to my mind. I get, I understand.
• 1:21:37
  That it's like some people are saying Jason Khalifa, and I
• 1:21:39
  understand that Charles Barkley's not Jason Khalifa.
• 1:21:45
  Yeah, I can't think of anybody. Who?
• 1:21:47
  Who is as likable as Charles like Down is?
• 1:21:52
  As likable as Charles, But Down's not like Charles.
• 1:21:54
  Yeah, he's not like, at all. I.
• 1:21:57
  Actually think Pat. Back in the day was as likable
• 1:21:59
  as Charles and he's not like him at all.
• 1:22:03
  I think it's. Jason dude, yeah, I think it's I
• 1:22:09
  don't want. It to be.
• 1:22:09
  Jason No, like like let's just let's think about some old
• 1:22:13
  people that Scott Pancic is. Nothing.
• 1:22:16
  Like no, nothing. That's the.
• 1:22:18
  Worst thing I've ever heard anybody say.
• 1:22:20
  Jacob Hepner. It's not as right as Jason.
• 1:22:32
  I know dude, I, I, I'm with you, but I just feel like there are
• 1:22:36
  better people for Jason and I. Don't want to give?
• 1:22:41
  Him something and then have like a.
• 1:22:45
  Better person. Does that make sense?
• 1:22:46
  Yeah. Like Jacob Hebner's?
• 1:22:50
  Really. Likable.
• 1:22:51
  He's well, spoiled. He speaks a lot like in in
• 1:22:53
  things and. I don't, I do you just.
• 1:22:58
  Want to say Josh? Yeah, let's just.
• 1:23:00
  It's not. Josh, you guys?
• 1:23:02
  They have to be. Likeable like like by like.
• 1:23:05
  Everybody likes them. Not saying.
• 1:23:07
  Josh isn't likeable, but. Josh has enemies.
• 1:23:08
  Let's go with Jason. All right, Jason is Charles.
• 1:23:11
  Barkley, except for women from. What is it?
• 1:23:14
  Austin or San Antonio? Michael Jordan.
• 1:23:17
  Rich, rich, rich. It's easy.
• 1:23:20
  There's never been a more direct.
• 1:23:22
  Comparison. Randy Moss, There's your Jason.
• 1:23:30
  No. Dude, no.
• 1:23:31
  Hey, hey. Hey, you know who this is?
• 1:23:34
  Rock with me for a. Minute.
• 1:23:36
  This is Austin Hatfield, no. Has has just.
• 1:23:40
  He's from West Virginia. No, no, no.
• 1:23:44
  That works. Too, but he has all of the gifts
• 1:23:47
  to be like otherworldly and Randy Moss never won a
• 1:23:52
  championship. He never won a championship and.
• 1:23:56
  He's literally and he's but he's a freak and everybody knows he's
• 1:23:59
  a freak. Dude.
• 1:24:01
  I this is Austin Hatcham. But the thing about.
• 1:24:04
  I mean this kind of. Not by body, just.
• 1:24:07
  By straight he like couldn't. Stay out of his own way and like
• 1:24:11
  he didn't work for it at all and he just shows up and he he wins
• 1:24:15
  anyway. Dude.
• 1:24:25
  It could be Austin. Like tell me a better.
• 1:24:27
  Person than Austin. Austin, the thing about.
• 1:24:31
  Randy is is the controversy. It's similar to oh, who's the
• 1:24:36
  the down guy who played. For the Bulls.
• 1:24:40
  Funny hair. Dennis Rodman I want Austin to
• 1:24:45
  turn into Dennis Rodman. Just say it like, 'cause that
• 1:24:47
  lives in Austin 100%. No, I don't.
• 1:24:50
  I, I, I. Don't agree with whatever's
• 1:24:53
  happening? No.
• 1:24:55
  I love, I love. Randy Moss I really do love
• 1:24:58
  Randy Moss through and through. My cousin smoked weed with him
• 1:25:01
  one time. Alright, well, act like that's a
• 1:25:06
  thing. I'll get him.
• 1:25:09
  Awesome. Wait.
• 1:25:10
  Hey, hey, what about? Gee, no.
• 1:25:14
  Gee, fuck. God, yeah.
• 1:25:16
  It's Gee, it's just. It's so I just.
• 1:25:19
  Like I like. Him better.
• 1:25:22
  I like Randy better than I like Gee, but you're not wrong.
• 1:25:25
  I I so gifted. But like doesn't doesn't really
• 1:25:28
  care. Randy won though, is the thing.
• 1:25:31
  And Randy was good at a lot. Of things too, like if you're
• 1:25:34
  just as a receiver, it's not like he was just fast, right?
• 1:25:37
  I like Austin better than Gee, but I don't know Gee Gee's.
• 1:25:41
  Better at things than you think. He's good at gymnastics.
• 1:25:44
  He he won kind of like. Randy too, like.
• 1:25:48
  He's always at like he. Always does.
• 1:25:49
  Decent, yeah, but Randy? 'S literally one of the best all
• 1:25:54
  around receivers ever. Like it's not like right?
• 1:25:58
  He was, yeah. But he's also.
• 1:25:59
  Been in the top. 10 He's not one of the best.
• 1:26:03
  Dude, 7th to the 10th and he's went like, like, it's, it's not
• 1:26:06
  the same. It's not the same.
• 1:26:10
  Like you're like Deshawn. Jackson is more of a Gee, right,
• 1:26:15
  like, like Randy's all around fantastic.
• 1:26:23
  If you want to put ghee because he's.
• 1:26:24
  Just more athletic than everybody, like, like and he is.
• 1:26:27
  He's just just faster than everybody.
• 1:26:29
  That's fine. You can.
• 1:26:30
  I think Austin fits the build better than if she were better.
• 1:26:34
  DB. I don't hate Danielle Brandon.
• 1:26:40
  I actually think Danielle Brandon.
• 1:26:42
  Fits better than all. Is that your answer I.
• 1:26:47
  I like Danielle. Brandon, man, I like that a lot.
• 1:26:50
  Yep, Daniel Brandon. 'S rainy Moss.
• 1:26:52
  All right, Next up. All right.
• 1:26:55
  Messy. I'm out I.
• 1:26:57
  Don't know shit. About messy, this is.
• 1:27:00
  Tough, he's so small. Maybe he's the best soccer.
• 1:27:08
  Player ever man, I don't know anything.
• 1:27:11
  About like his like his demeanor, 'cause that's.
• 1:27:15
  What I'm going off of? Stoic, Stoic.
• 1:27:19
  Jr. Like, OK.
• 1:27:21
  Jeff Adler, I can see it. I'll go with it.
• 1:27:28
  I. Don't do anything.
• 1:27:30
  About soccer. OK.
• 1:27:31
  Yeah, actually this, that's really.
• 1:27:33
  Apartment for me, I don't. I don't really care about Adler,
• 1:27:38
  just like it's the same thing about Messi.
• 1:27:40
  Like I just don't. I don't care.
• 1:27:42
  Well, there you go. That fits.

  Those two people are like, all right, fun.
• 1:35:25

• 1:37:07
  with it if that's what you want to do.
• 1:37:08
  I like, I like Aaron Rodgers. Better.
• 1:37:10
  And I like Will. Morad, But I'll go with.
• 1:37:12
  I'll go with Will, going with Will.
• 1:37:15
  Or Ben. Will.
• 1:37:18
  John, you OK with that? I'm I'm thinking.

• 1:37:26
  More on like. Con Porter's.
• 1:37:27
  Likable. Yeah, I don't.
• 1:37:33
  There's for the lack of nobody else.
• 1:37:35
  Yeah, how dare you say Marcus. Hedren, there it is.
• 1:37:38
  That's Marcus Hedren. Is great man.

  Jason Larry Bird versus Magic Johnson yeah, and I and I I

• 1:38:47
  Bird, he's yet to hit his peak and he doesn't have the same
• 1:38:50
  strut as Bird yet, but like he's got the rage like Birds got.
• 1:38:57
  Yeah, but Bird was. He's nasty, dude, He is.

• 1:39:20
  Player Fukowski is Sir James Montrose.
• 1:39:26
  Wow, OK. I basketball that's.
• 1:39:30
  Crazy. I guess we'll wrap it.
• 1:39:33
  Up with the World Fitness Project Season 2.
• 1:39:38
  They're they're back. Oh yeah, I got to get in the
• 1:39:43
  gear for this. One, yeah, I need to.
• 1:39:46
  Get ready. Where is Westfield?
• 1:39:50
  At. It's Indianapolis, so May 1st
• 1:39:55
  through 3rd. It only contradicts with three
• 1:40:00
  semifinals that weekend, so good luck with that.
• 1:40:05
  You got August 28th and 30th, same weekend, but we're in
• 1:40:08
  Indianapolis and then the World Fitness Finals back in
• 1:40:12
  Copenhagen. Only three competitions.
• 1:40:16
  I guess Dallin was right. He told them and they.
• 1:40:20
  Listen to Dallin 4 competitions too much.
• 1:40:26
  You agree You. Agree with that.
• 1:40:29
  It's funny how fast. They.
• 1:40:33
  They repealed that one. They did do.
• 1:40:36
  That they did. Repeal that the what?
• 1:40:42
  Was I going to say the the? Points.
• 1:40:45
  It's not just how many points you get so.
• 1:40:47
  Now it's 606 hundred and 900 points.
• 1:40:50
  Oh, so it's. 1 1/2 It is 1 1/2 now.
• 1:40:55
  Of those and it's almost it made me think of like P score because
• 1:41:00
  it matters how far, how bad you beat somebody, you get points
• 1:41:03
  versus oh, they are point value. Interesting.
• 1:41:09
  I'll be sending a. Cease and assist letter and.
• 1:41:13
  Then they have one chat, one pro division for 50 athletes.
• 1:41:17
  Yep. I do.
• 1:41:19
  Want to spend some time on? This one, Yeah.
• 1:41:21
  The Challenge, 2020. 20. Signed Pros This is a.
• 1:41:26
  Tour Stop 1. So 20 signed pros they've got
• 1:41:31
  the other 10 athletes who competed at finals get an
• 1:41:34
  invite. 15 athletes. From the qualifier, get in and
• 1:41:41
  five wild cards. You, you, you're wild.
• 1:41:47
  OK, go ahead, John. John's got a wild card.
• 1:41:50
  No, I'm a wild card. Oh.
• 1:41:52
  I've been. Waiting.
• 1:41:52
  I've been waiting for the. Show to announce it, but this is
• 1:41:55
  I bet you won't give a wild card.
• 1:41:57
  To Taylor, which is who you should give a wild card to for
• 1:42:00
  real, if you cared about your sport at all.
• 1:42:06
  If you, they, they. Act they're so great there's so
• 1:42:09
  many squatting tour 1 everything would be squatting.
• 1:42:16
  Will has a chance to be like the greatest Dick of all time like
• 1:42:20
  just give Taylor a spot. Max 66 events are all.
• 1:42:26
  Everyone has squatting. In it if they cared.
• 1:42:28
  About their sport at. All and they they they act like
• 1:42:31
  they're we're this big media thing and there's several ways
• 1:42:33
  which I'm going to punch them to death about this.
• 1:42:37
  They they act like they're this big media force.
• 1:42:39
  But it's like if you want views for your your event giving
• 1:42:44
  Taylor. A spot and you're in your.
• 1:42:48
  Celebrity shout out would be the first move I made.
• 1:42:51
  He's got a big mouth, people hate him.
• 1:42:54
  You can make reels all day about it, why would you not?
• 1:42:57
  And then if he falls on his face, good for you, he's going.
• 1:43:02
  To make a media. Frenzy.
• 1:43:04
  It would be so obvious. That's why I would do it.
• 1:43:07
  We do it over there, John, he's exclaiming me.
• 1:43:14
  The other thing is they're devaluing their their sport with
• 1:43:19
  five celebrity shout outs. That's what they're doing.
• 1:43:25
  Why do you? I mean.
• 1:43:28
  Who? They're whole, you know, it's
• 1:43:29
  celebrities. Celebrities.
• 1:43:33
  Yeah, you know, it's celebrities.
• 1:43:35
  No, I'm just saying like that. What who they're going to invite
• 1:43:37
  is people with a lot of followers or people who are the
• 1:43:39
  whole point of it of. Going season to season was you
• 1:43:42
  have to earn your way into it and now they're just like here's
• 1:43:45
  5 wild cards and the people that didn't actually qualify you
• 1:43:50
  still get the freebie into this year anyway.
• 1:43:54
  And then I guess. Technically in the the the
• 1:43:59
  second. Tour stop in.
• 1:44:00
  Indianapolis, you have to qualify because they don't, you
• 1:44:04
  don't get a guaranteed in there, but.
• 1:44:09
  I don't know, I, I don't. Like they have 5 invites each
• 1:44:12
  time right? And so they can.
• 1:44:15
  Just pick their friends. There's no criteria on it, they
• 1:44:18
  just pick whoever they want. So yeah like Noah's in, he get
• 1:44:25
  an invite to the second one. Luca didn't get it while a pro
• 1:44:28
  card. At this point unless people
• 1:44:30
  decline he can get he's in the first one, he'll get an invite
• 1:44:33
  the second one like he's not earning it.
• 1:44:35
  He has to pay his way. I'm curious to know what the
• 1:44:39
  prize money. Is on the top 50 like it do.
• 1:44:42
  Only 30 people. Do it and get prize money.
• 1:44:46
  I want to know if the contracts are.
• 1:44:47
  The same amount if they go up, we know the contract amounts.
• 1:44:51
  What are they? Through 50.
• 1:44:55
  No, they don't. Only play only 20 athletes.
• 1:44:57
  Yeah, we we talked. About that like a month ago.
• 1:44:59
  Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm sorry.
• 1:45:00
  But the prize? Money at each competition,
• 1:45:03
  right? How that changes?
• 1:45:05
  Like are you, if you're the bottom, the bottom?
• 1:45:07
  20. Are you screwed?
• 1:45:09
  Like you get nothing? Yeah, probably.
• 1:45:11
  The flat stipend, right? So you have no.
• 1:45:14
  Travel you. Do get travel for the.
• 1:45:17
  Sign 20. So you got that and then I know
• 1:45:23
  this probably didn't make you very happy, Tyler.
• 1:45:25
  Well, time out one more before. You move on from the Challenger
• 1:45:27
  thing. I do think it was a good move
• 1:45:29
  that got rid of the Challenger division.
• 1:45:31
  Yes, it was done and. Yeah, I know.
• 1:45:33
  Like nobody was doing it. And then like you can actually.
• 1:45:37
  Like if you do the. Qualifier you can compete your
• 1:45:38
  way into the pros is what like that's what this should be is
• 1:45:42
  like you get I like that they like if you're going to play
• 1:45:45
  their game, I like that you have signed pros and the challengers
• 1:45:48
  can come up and and disrupt the whole thing that's a cool story
• 1:45:51
  now you screw it all up with your 5 friend invites and you
• 1:45:55
  know letting people in who didn't qualify this year in any.
• 1:45:59
  Way. So it's like you.
• 1:46:00
  Devalue all of it. But it was a good move.
• 1:46:03
  They just screwed it up and I. Think A50.
• 1:46:06
  Field 50 Athlete field is too much, but oh.
• 1:46:10
  Yeah, interesting. What the?
• 1:46:11
  Competitions are like like like 5 heats.
• 1:46:15
  They've been flow and stuff. It's going.
• 1:46:16
  To get. Boring.
• 1:46:18
  Right, I thought they. Should have kept it.
• 1:46:19
  At 40, kept it at 40 and just said 20 pros 20 challengers,
• 1:46:23
  move on. This is true.
• 1:46:27
  I did not make it to the challenger Division I first
• 1:46:30
  qualifier didn't pan out for me. It's close though.
• 1:46:35
  And then on. The day of the open
• 1:46:37
  registration, we got this breaking down the 2026 World
• 1:46:41
  Fitness project season that was released four hours ago and it
• 1:46:46
  has 80 views 79. Views if you don't.
• 1:46:50
  Count me. So people are definitely very
• 1:46:52
  interested in it. John, did you watch it?
• 1:46:58
  How long do you have to be on it for a view to count 30 seconds?
• 1:47:04
  Tyler, did you watch it? I.
• 1:47:05
  Did watch it? Enough for review.
• 1:47:07
  I watched it 29. 10 minutes? How long?
• 1:47:11
  2920. 9 seconds a time call. It OK, yeah.
• 1:47:15
  I saw. Who they're picking to like
• 1:47:17
  market it and, you know, like boost up viewership and and I
• 1:47:22
  was like, all right. All right, guys, 2026.
• 1:47:26
  Season for West right, right there is right there is whenever
• 1:47:30
  I decided to click off, so 7 seconds, so OK.
• 1:47:33
  You're you're this big. Media force, right everything
• 1:47:36
  you know, you, you're paying out the butt for all these, all
• 1:47:39
  these big venues and all you all your contracts and all your
• 1:47:43
  fancy lights and what do you do? You have a Zoom podcast with
• 1:47:48
  Brian friend and you get 80 views in four hours.
• 1:47:54
  You can't even. You can't even like.
• 1:47:56
  It's just the standard with 28. 1000 subscribers.
• 1:48:00
  Think about that. No good branding.
• 1:48:02
  Or background 2828. 1000 subscribers have got 80 people
• 1:48:06
  to watch 80. Views so negative you're getting
• 1:48:13
  ready to find out. Why?
• 1:48:14
  We're being so negative about it, we could go live.
• 1:48:16
  And say Tyler's going to eat a chip and get more.
• 1:48:22
  We we have over 3. 1000 people who watched our New Year's Day
• 1:48:25
  show of you tearing your PEC. I didn't that.
• 1:48:29
  That was. Demonetized and not pushed out
• 1:48:32
  by the algorithm of YouTube because of your music, we still
• 1:48:36
  got 3000 plus views. Yeah.
• 1:48:42
  The other. I don't know why.
• 1:48:44
  Do you, can you, can you help me out spend with this?
• 1:48:47
  I or Tyler? Tyler, did you have something
• 1:48:48
  important you want to go first? No, go ahead.
• 1:48:52
  I didn't. I didn't.
• 1:48:53
  OK, I. Didn't want to hijack you.
• 1:48:55
  OK, OK, OK. Do you think that they.
• 1:49:01
  Are like so against. Us because of how?
• 1:49:08
  Our initial feelings towards them were if not I I just wonder
• 1:49:13
  why it seems dumb to be so against us and if you and if you
• 1:49:20
  and if they say you're not, I just looking to get the friendly
• 1:49:27
  train to market you like like that's where you're going to go
• 1:49:30
  through like I just I feel. Like you are.
• 1:49:33
  Against us. And I'm just wondering why?
• 1:49:35
  Why are you so against us? Like we, we.
• 1:49:39
  Would have. People on the show, not that I'm
• 1:49:41
  saying I want them on the show, but we would you.
• 1:49:44
  Know what I mean? You would spend you're all about
• 1:49:47
  it, right? I tried a year ago.
• 1:49:49
  No, no. I, I I know.
• 1:49:50
  That's why I'm like, like, we're not against it.
• 1:49:53
  I I'm just I just. You can't think that this is
• 1:49:57
  good? I think I.
• 1:49:58
  Have come out and. Said that I'm against it.
• 1:50:01
  No, no. No, I'm not saying that we're
• 1:50:02
  not. Against it.
• 1:50:03
  But like, do they hate us because we're against it or
• 1:50:06
  like, because you would still get more views just by trying to
• 1:50:10
  find a common ground or saying this is what we're doing?
• 1:50:14
  Oh, I mean like I think and you could.
• 1:50:16
  Hate it the whole. Time, Tyler, but it would get
• 1:50:18
  more people to know about it you.
• 1:50:22
  Know what I mean? I mean.
• 1:50:24
  I think slowly but surely people associated with WFP.
• 1:50:29
  Have been. Prohibited from doing podcasts.
• 1:50:34
  Third party podcasts. Right they well.
• 1:50:38
  It's like, let's think about like I want to look at some
• 1:50:41
  facts. Number one, I said the CrossFit
• 1:50:43
  Open was going to have under 200,000 sign ups this year.
• 1:50:46
  That was a prediction. I'm happy they're not, but
• 1:50:49
  that's pretty negative, don't you think?
• 1:50:51
  And CrossFit still plays ball with us.
• 1:50:54
  They know how to play. They still getting T-shirts I do
• 1:50:58
  want and you know, and you're not you're.
• 1:50:59
  Not, yeah. I don't think you could say it
• 1:51:01
  until it happens. I don't think it's kind of
• 1:51:03
  here's here's. The catch?
• 1:51:04
  Though rollback. To when this first.
• 1:51:07
  Got announced. Do you guys remember what I
• 1:51:09
  said? You were pumped.
• 1:51:12
  I was like this presents. A real issue for CrossFit.
• 1:51:14
  This could be really big so for. Everybody that's.
• 1:51:18
  Like all these guys have been doom and gloom about this the
• 1:51:20
  whole time. You're very wrong.
• 1:51:22
  I thought they were a real threat.
• 1:51:25
  The the reason that I have said that I'm against it, They've
• 1:51:30
  they've pushed me into this corner.
• 1:51:34
  They they've definitely been playing a little bit of, I don't
• 1:51:39
  want to say actual politics games, but CrossFit politic
• 1:51:43
  games behind the scenes. Do you think that it wasn't on
• 1:51:47
  purpose that they came out with this show announcing the season
• 1:51:50
  the day the Open started? That's what I'm saying.
• 1:51:54
  Like why? Are they so against?
• 1:51:57
  But they won't say they're. Against it, though, John, they
• 1:52:00
  won't say that I don't know. And that's.
• 1:52:01
  The infuriating part and the thing that they don't get is.
• 1:52:04
  That we call out hypocritical stuff.
• 1:52:08
  It's like, OK, they've said that they were going to like they
• 1:52:10
  weren't against CrossFit, but they won't even say the name
• 1:52:13
  CrossFit. They've said, you know, we're
• 1:52:15
  we're not trying to interfere with anything.
• 1:52:17
  But then they schedule shit right in the middle of the
• 1:52:19
  season. Now it could just be to like
• 1:52:23
  stupidity, but I I know. Brian and.
• 1:52:28
  He I know that he knew the Open was announced today.
• 1:52:32
  Or that it opened today. Well, I want you to.
• 1:52:35
  I want to play this one clip here.
• 1:52:37
  You're playing the victim. How I'm literally trying to.
• 1:52:40
  Understand, I don't care to be on their stupid.
• 1:52:42
  Shit like why I'm not going to be a.
• 1:52:44
  Victim. Yeah, there.
• 1:52:47
  No, I don't want. Any orange juice?
• 1:52:50
  I I want to play this. Just this is this is what
• 1:52:55
  bothers me with it. Mexico City, Grand Park and.
• 1:52:57
  Copenhagen for year 2 should. We should we.
• 1:53:01
  Rewind to July. Yeah, yeah.
• 1:53:07
  Yeah, I think so. I think that's fair.
• 1:53:08
  I think the season was more or. Less wrapped and.
• 1:53:12
  Set in around about July and then some announcements came out
• 1:53:18
  and we just wanted to have a little bit more flexibility and
• 1:53:23
  some announcements. Just genuine care for the
• 1:53:27
  athletes. Competing in our league.
• 1:53:28
  So we decided to go to Plan B and start re reworking at least
• 1:53:32
  our first tour stop for the 26th season because the one did land
• 1:53:37
  on another competition. So we spent some time, we did
• 1:53:40
  some market research. I mean, you've seen people have
• 1:53:43
  joked that we're just kind of traveling and doing whatever,
• 1:53:46
  but we spent a lot of time in a lot of different communities in
• 1:53:49
  this space doing activations, doing workouts, looking at
• 1:53:54
  venues. You just saw what we didn't.
• 1:53:56
  We just announced Mexico City. We did a long trip in Mexico
• 1:53:59
  City and activated with gyms there prior to announcing that
• 1:54:03
  there's going to be a tour there.
• 1:54:04
  So we did a lot of ground work like that in all of the regions
• 1:54:09
  that we were thinking about doing a competition and just
• 1:54:13
  understanding the people they're building relationships and now
• 1:54:16
  that the seasons announced it feels good We have pre-existing
• 1:54:21
  relationships with the fitness community.
• 1:54:23
  He. Can't say that CrossFit.
• 1:54:31
  Released the schedule and it screwed him over.
• 1:54:35
  Because it was playing in July, it.
• 1:54:37
  Was playing in July yet? All the athletes told him. 4 is
• 1:54:41
  too much so they had to cut one out.
• 1:54:45
  My Orca. That I said.
• 1:54:51
  Rewind. It Yeah, Dumper of the Week.
• 1:54:59
  Dallin told him 4. Is too many they're back to
• 1:55:02
  three what I. Reported during the games.
• 1:55:05
  That my Orca was the first tour stop that week.
• 1:55:09
  That was true. Those guys are leaking it
• 1:55:12
  constantly. 2 days ago before this whole everything got
• 1:55:17
  announced, I was told that Mexico City is the 1st place.
• 1:55:23
  Like there's leaks everywhere. They refuse to say that they
• 1:55:27
  change it because of CrossFit. They're just competitions.
• 1:55:30
  They've worked their way into the fitness community.
• 1:55:35
  They won't say CrossFit they. Talked later about how hybrid is
• 1:55:39
  the the thing of the future and like that's the number one thing
• 1:55:42
  out there right now is hybrid racing.
• 1:55:45
  That's why they want to get their whole project one done.
• 1:55:50
  So just be honest and like, at the end of the day, like think
• 1:55:57
  about this. Mexico City is the first one.
• 1:56:00
  It's in Latin America that conflicts with Copa Sewer.
• 1:56:05
  Copa Sewer is the exact. Same weekend.
• 1:56:12
  So you want to draw from the. South American and Latin
• 1:56:15
  American community that who their their semifinal is going
• 1:56:17
  to be the same weekend, right? They might be.
• 1:56:20
  Thinking they can. Get them people, man, because
• 1:56:23
  Brazil did drop off. He didn't do anything last year.
• 1:56:26
  And they're like, I think we can get South America.
• 1:56:30
  That might be the thought process.
• 1:56:32
  So you don't even have actually have a problem with what they're
• 1:56:34
  doing. You just have a problem with how
• 1:56:35
  they say it. Per usual.
• 1:56:37
  I I I get I think. If they had shoved this into the
• 1:56:41
  the offseason, not a problem. If they made one competition, I
• 1:56:45
  still think they should go to one competition and make it the
• 1:56:48
  biggest, best competition ever. Just throw it in December.
• 1:56:53
  If they had done one competition in Copenhagen for the best
• 1:56:57
  athletes and thrown all of the money, they're putting in all of
• 1:57:00
  these three competitions into one.
• 1:57:04
  No one would have had a problem. Right.
• 1:57:07
  But the. But the reason why they started?
• 1:57:09
  It they want to take it down, they want to take CrossFit down,
• 1:57:13
  they want to steal all their athletes, they want to put it in
• 1:57:17
  the middle of this, the calendar tell.
• 1:57:20
  Athletes that they don't have to.
• 1:57:21
  Choose, but basically force them to choose.
• 1:57:25
  Like all of that. Is not good for CrossFit.
• 1:57:33
  It's just not. And if you take away CrossFit,
• 1:57:35
  World Fitness project fails and they're they're chiseling away
• 1:57:40
  at it. Are they chiseling?
• 1:57:43
  Yes. They're causing they're they're.
• 1:57:47
  They've created an opportunity to do something else, which I
• 1:57:53
  mean, like, I don't think is necessarily like wrong, but like
• 1:57:57
  when you say like people matter more, like when that's your
• 1:58:01
  fucking thing, it's like, OK, the way to really do the best
• 1:58:05
  for people is to make this whole.
• 1:58:07
  And I'm not talking about CrossFit the organization.
• 1:58:10
  I'm talking about CrossFit, the community CrossFit, the open
• 1:58:13
  everybody else side of the HQ. Yeah, I'm talking about.
• 1:58:17
  That whole thing, I'm sure they'd be like, that's what
• 1:58:19
  we're doing. But you're not like you're oh,
• 1:58:23
  you are very visually detracting from CrossFit on purpose.
• 1:58:29
  So you have like. Bad.
• 1:58:32
  Intentions. And if you create this rift,
• 1:58:36
  people will separate and then the whole community gets weaker
• 1:58:39
  as a whole because they won't, you know, they are, they are
• 1:58:41
  creating themselves as the enemy.
• 1:58:44
  And so people who are on that side will then treat CrossFit,
• 1:58:48
  the community, as the enemy. I want to address this from
• 1:58:51
  clock. Do the other two stops conflict
• 1:58:53
  with CrossFit events? Just because the two.
• 1:58:59
  Don't specifically interfere. The way that they've structured
• 1:59:03
  the season interferes because they can't just skip the first
• 1:59:08
  event. They have to do it if they want
• 1:59:10
  to have a chance at continuing their pro card and being
• 1:59:13
  competitive. So they have to compete in May
• 1:59:15
  right in the middle of the season.
• 1:59:17
  It doesn't matter that the other two are outside of that.
• 1:59:21
  Secondly, they've adjusted their training, ha ha, but they've not
• 1:59:26
  peaked for the games. They're not peaking for
• 1:59:29
  anything. And.
• 1:59:32
  They're. Now getting hurt, they're
• 1:59:35
  getting. Burnt out they're.
• 1:59:36
  Withdrawing from competitions. They've always had.
• 1:59:41
  Opportunities to compete. They could compete at
• 1:59:43
  Wadapalooza, they could compete at Rd., they could have competed
• 1:59:46
  at Dubai Down Under Championship, and that's right
• 1:59:51
  Dallin, they always had all these opportunities to compete
• 1:59:54
  more often and make more money. But they never chose to.
• 2:00:00
  Because they couldn't. They didn't want to compete that
• 2:00:02
  many times. Right.
• 2:00:05
  And so when? You come in there and you put it
• 2:00:06
  in the middle of the season and now you have athletes who are in
• 2:00:09
  Latin America and they have to make a decision of do they go to
• 2:00:11
  Copa sewer or do I go to WFP and we're.
• 2:00:17
  Going to have three. Competitions on the same
• 2:00:19
  weekend, plus Magic City games. That's Masters, so I'm not
• 2:00:22
  counting those all on the same weekend.
• 2:00:25
  Do you think that sponsors want to get involved when there's
• 2:00:28
  that many things going on at the same time?
• 2:00:30
  When you have two different two different types of competitions,
• 2:00:33
  not just two semifinals, right? It creates.
• 2:00:40
  Issues and they're not trying to build it.
• 2:00:45
  Up. They're trying to take it over.
• 2:00:46
  At least they took the one event.
• 2:00:47
  Out though yeah, that's what I that.
• 2:00:50
  That's really well said Spin. It'd be different.
• 2:00:53
  If they were trying to. Build it up and like they just
• 2:00:56
  happen to interfere from time to time or something like that.
• 2:00:59
  But we know that's not what they're doing and that's what we
• 2:01:02
  get peeved by. That's fair.
• 2:01:05
  Just listen. To what, Ben?
• 2:01:05
  And Blair said they. Had their qualifier back when
• 2:01:07
  their competition was in September out of the way.
• 2:01:10
  They put it in January out of the way.
• 2:01:11
  So it's not in the middle. So you didn't force athletes to
• 2:01:14
  have to make a decision or try to do too much.
• 2:01:17
  I do put it in January. They're not doing that.
• 2:01:20
  You listen to Ben and Blair. You definitely see the
• 2:01:24
  difference and like we want to make it as easy as possible for
• 2:01:27
  the athletes to not get in the way of other things and then
• 2:01:32
  when. With.
• 2:01:34
  World Fitness Project. It's it's not, it's like we had
• 2:01:37
  to move it because of another competition.
• 2:01:39
  I don't know if. This is will.
• 2:01:41
  Or somebody. But do we not like competition?
• 2:01:46
  Look, there's there's something to be said.
• 2:01:48
  We talked about a little bit last time Hiller brought it up
• 2:01:50
  in his video of the 2026 predictions.
• 2:01:53
  There was something about having some scarcity and not being
• 2:01:56
  there all the time and being excited about what you're going
• 2:01:59
  to see in the improvements that the athletes do from the games
• 2:02:03
  to the game season. Seeing the compete in the exact
• 2:02:06
  same type of competition 8 * a year gets a little boring.
• 2:02:10
  Now if we liked competition, people will be watching Mode
• 2:02:16
  Classic last weekend, hey. Don't.
• 2:02:22
  Throw. James under the butts like that
• 2:02:25
  man Miley Wade. It was a it was a good.
• 2:02:28
  Competition. You got to see rising stars like
• 2:02:30
  Miley Wade, Josh Felix, Trista. Like there are a bunch.
• 2:02:34
  Of athletes that are semifinals, they're getting better like
• 2:02:39
  there. Was a live stream.
• 2:02:40
  For five of the six events and there is 102 hundred people
• 2:02:44
  watching, generally speaking. So don't tell me that it's not
• 2:02:48
  well, we want to see more competitions.
• 2:02:50
  You guys aren't watching them. How do I know there's 100 to
• 2:02:56
  200? People watching, because I was
• 2:02:58
  watching parts of it, because you were one of them, because.
• 2:03:00
  Spin is one of. Them so don't start with like.
• 2:03:03
  You just hanging competitions, but if you guys loved watching
• 2:03:07
  competitions and all the athletes getting better, you'd
• 2:03:10
  watch that and we're not seeing it.
• 2:03:13
  So this whole argument about when?
• 2:03:15
  You just want to see competitions every week when I
• 2:03:16
  look at the the calendar I put up.
• 2:03:18
  You don't. You don't.
• 2:03:21
  Because you're seeing enough of it.
• 2:03:23
  It's it's like. CrossFit.
• 2:03:27
  Crossfit's more about the story almost than it is.
• 2:03:29
  Like what? Like the competitions are more
• 2:03:31
  about the story than they are about like the actual events
• 2:03:34
  that happen. It's different.
• 2:03:35
  You're missing the point entirely.
• 2:03:36
  Orange juice been so ate up. Yeah, also.
• 2:03:40
  Like I. Want to.
• 2:03:40
  I do want to pull this one. Yes, I was.
• 2:03:42
  I was smiling about this. This actually makes me like
• 2:03:45
  Tyler's combine idea more. Once per year to get more money
• 2:03:49
  to athletes without wrecking their season.
• 2:03:51
  Here's the thing though, they won't be doing cross like you
• 2:03:55
  won't be doing CrossFit. CrossFit because people are
• 2:03:58
  tired of watching the net. It's 2 minute things.
• 2:04:01
  What just do? Something different.
• 2:04:02
  It's different. It's.
• 2:04:03
  Different. That's why that's.
• 2:04:05
  Why people? That's why people like the
• 2:04:07
  imitation, because it was a team, something different.
• 2:04:09
  That's why people like watching Water Palooza teams, because
• 2:04:11
  it's something different. SoCal So Cal.
• 2:04:13
  So Cal SoCal teams too, but. Even Miami, when they have like
• 2:04:17
  the the teams of three, it's something different.
• 2:04:19
  They're not right. Like it's a it's a different
• 2:04:21
  dynamic. Like we're not watching them do
• 2:04:23
  individual stuff. You have to watch Hopper duck
• 2:04:26
  his head underneath the the worm and like laugh about that,
• 2:04:29
  right? Like that was fun.
• 2:04:32
  But seeing the compete individually the same field 678
• 2:04:37
  times a year now. It loses something, that's why.
• 2:04:43
  I wouldn't want the combine. To be like just CrossFit,
• 2:04:46
  CrossFit events because it's like we know how good
• 2:04:48
  Crossfitters are at CrossFit. We don't want to see that
• 2:04:50
  anymore. We don't want to know like
• 2:04:52
  what's their vertical and like what other cool shit that they
• 2:04:55
  can do that other people also do that we can relate to.
• 2:04:58
  We know what they can do fitness wise but like anybody could do a
• 2:05:01
  the. Combine like you could do it at
• 2:05:03
  like like it would be something you could do at your gym or just
• 2:05:07
  one. Of the pieces.
• 2:05:08
  But it's like we have to we we're so bad as Crossfitters
• 2:05:12
  about trying to just CrossFit everything.
• 2:05:14
  And it's like they're we we know this from the level 1.
• 2:05:17
  We know this from the methodology is like there's more
• 2:05:20
  things to fitness than just like being in the box.
• 2:05:23
  And that's what the the idea of the combine would be is
• 2:05:26
  decorating how much like what your fitness is totally outside
• 2:05:29
  of that. That was the Tahoe throw down.
• 2:05:32
  Yeah, it was CrossFit, but they did weird shit.
• 2:05:35
  Yeah, it's been over 2. Hours, I'm calling it before you
