  I'm excited either way. I'm going to choose to be an
• 0:04
  optimistic person. Anytime I see Bad Bunny, I have
• 0:07
  to remember it's not bad Baby. And then I'm even more.
• 0:11
  Who is bad baby? That's Catch Me Outside.
• 0:15
  It's that girl. Is she Australian?
• 0:19
  I would have killed to be one of those people that got stuck on
• 0:23
  the island while everything was up in flames.
• 0:26
  I would have loved that so much. Like my favorite song to work
• 0:30
  out too is No Air by Jordan Sparks.
• 0:35
  I have hurt so bad to that song and for some reason whenever she
• 0:40
  just sings the chorus it just fills me with energy.
• 0:44
  I'm pretty sure the entire first year I was on Sevon they were
• 0:50
  trying to decide if I was gay or not.
• 0:52
  Like like wholeheartedly. I could see Marshmallow man, I
• 0:56
  could get down with that. I could get down with
• 0:58
  Marshmallow man. The only song I know about them
• 1:00
  is the is the boogie Woogie song.
• 1:02
  That's that's that's the only song.
• 1:05
  People, oh Killer Mike and. I don't know who that is.
• 1:17
  Natalie, you're right. But here we go.
• 1:53
  Like and subscribe and I should take off the overlay.
• 1:56
  Welcome to the spin little highlight for you from last week
• 2:02
  good show. I feel like all the highlights
• 2:05
  were from all the highlights were from the blind rankings
• 2:07
  but. We're ridiculous.
• 2:12
  I've never watched it back before.
• 2:14
  Yeah, I hate, I hate watching myself back.
• 2:16
  I I. Was such a long intro.
• 2:20
  Yeah, well, you know, I couldn't just whittle it down.
• 2:23
  So hey, welcome to the show, guys.
• 2:26
  We're going to do some breaking news.
• 2:29
  It may or may not be that I'm buying CrossFit LLC.
• 2:33
  But before that, before that, we have Mr. Wilson Pack.
• 2:40
  You might know him as Mr. Syndicate Crown, the guy behind
• 2:43
  the scenes who puts it all together and will be hosting and
• 2:47
  putting everything in Knoxville, TN to send 4 individuals to the
• 2:54
  CrossFit game. So good evening, Wilson.
• 2:57
  How are you doing? I'm doing good and that there's
• 3:00
  a lot on the horizon and just exciting stuff to share.
• 3:03
  And yeah, I would love to get into that when it's appropriate.
• 3:06
  Yeah, absolutely. We are a couple less than like a
• 3:11
  week away from the first CrossFit Open announcement.
• 3:15
  And I know most people probably don't know much about you 'cause
• 3:19
  you're just running this, running everything behind the
• 3:21
  scenes. But we had talked earlier, you
• 3:24
  have a couple things that I don't think anybody knows about
• 3:29
  Syndicate Crown, which is really exciting.
• 3:32
  We'll get to that in a minute, but we do want to talk about.
• 3:35
  What's getting ready to say we're just gonna go right in?
• 3:37
  No, no, no. You guys gotta wait.
• 3:39
  We guys learn a little. And with that, we're gonna.
• 3:43
  We're gonna delay it and drag this out for a little bit.
• 3:49
  Syndicate Ground May 30th through June 1st.
• 3:52
  You're the one of the in person qualifying events.
• 3:57
  Much was made about the region based system between you and
• 4:03
  TFX. Can you share just a little bit
• 4:07
  about kind of what your thought process was about, you know,
• 4:11
  setting it up from a region base and kind of how you structured
• 4:14
  that, I guess pretty much in partnership maybe I guess with
• 4:18
  TFX? Yeah, for sure.
• 4:20
  I think the way that I approach this year, it's definitely
• 4:23
  paying homage to what we've done in the past.
• 4:26
  There's been models have been effective.
• 4:28
  I'm a byproduct of being a fan like everyone else and going to
• 4:32
  the Atlantic Regional and going to West Palm and sitting in
• 4:34
  those crowds and cheering on, you know, 12 Apers cross it, my
• 4:38
  affiliate community and just that level of energy, that level
• 4:42
  of experience. I think there was something
• 4:44
  powerful of affiliates supporting those events.
• 4:48
  And I think we've lost that over the years.
• 4:50
  And so for me to be able to kind of backtrack and really define
• 4:54
  what were the pillars of the event and what made it
• 4:56
  successful, that's where I'm spending a lot of my efforts to,
• 5:00
  you know, create those lines. And so work with Jeremy with
• 5:02
  TFX. And you know, at the time we
• 5:05
  treated Mayhem as kind of like your first chance qualifier, and
• 5:09
  we figured that between TFX and Syndicate, we can create those
• 5:12
  East and West boundaries and hopefully the fans can
• 5:16
  appreciate that level of consistency.
• 5:18
  You know, there's so many changes and I think, you know,
• 5:21
  the four of us on this show understand the changes a little
• 5:23
  bit more frequently, but at the same time, I think the fans have
• 5:27
  a hard time. And so to just provide the same
• 5:30
  thing we've done in years past, I think we'll provide a really
• 5:33
  good opportunity for the East and West athletes in North
• 5:36
  America. I thought it was dope.
• 5:38
  I'm always harping on like we need more of a regionals based
• 5:42
  system again and that we need like that, that emotional draw.
• 5:46
  I always talk about like the SEC like we need that rivalries.
• 5:51
  I I do. Do you, do you foresee it being
• 5:54
  a it it getting more emotional with the region that you're in?
• 6:00
  Like as far as E 1st West, like almost a pride factor.
• 6:04
  Cause I'm not, it's not just because you're on the show, but
• 6:08
  it's a little bit, the East is a little bit a lot better than the
• 6:12
  West. A little bit.
• 6:13
  A lot. Right, right.
• 6:15
  Right now it it just is. It just is as as far as top
• 6:19
  talent and depth. I think regardless of where you
• 6:21
  come from, whether it's a small school, big school, you know,
• 6:24
  big region, small region, you want to be the king or the queen
• 6:27
  of that X, you know. And so I think this is just
• 6:30
  going to be one of the proving grounds within North America and
• 6:34
  I think it's going to hold a lot of weight for those who attend
• 6:37
  one of those 2 events. Yeah, what what I do, I mean, I
• 6:41
  when it came out, obviously a lot of people were saying, well,
• 6:44
  that's not fair. They can't do this.
• 6:46
  They can't, you know, other other competitions don't allow
• 6:48
  that. But I, you know, as you think
• 6:51
  about does the game season in the structure, I do think it
• 6:57
  allows for that regionalization, like rooting for the athletes
• 7:02
  that come from Syndicate crown, right?
• 7:05
  And the West can think about that from ATFX Like it's, you
• 7:08
  know, Africa has that same mindset, Like when you talk to
• 7:13
  anybody from Africa, they can't wait to send somebody from their
• 7:17
  region to the Games Australia. Dude, Australia wild with.
• 7:21
  That Wilder, right. And so I, I think that that this
• 7:26
  gives an opportunity for that of kind of a regional based, you
• 7:31
  know, support system. Yeah, I believe that, you know,
• 7:36
  I've seen so many different iterations from running
• 7:38
  sanctionals, semifinals and everything in between over the
• 7:42
  years. And I saw patterns that I
• 7:44
  thought were very successful. And I I felt that if I opened up
• 7:48
  the region to being worldwide that you would lose the interest
• 7:52
  of those in the US That was my my personal take on it.
• 7:56
  I've seen the attendance numbers year to year.
• 7:59
  Last year was the closest that I felt to regional vibe.
• 8:04
  Tyler, I know you were there. It was freaking phenomenal being
• 8:07
  in Knoxville. It was it was definitely a step
• 8:10
  up from that first year. For sure, yeah.
• 8:13
  The first couple years, you know, it was because of COVID.
• 8:16
  We relocated. You know, we were in the same
• 8:18
  venue for two different events and you know, we were going
• 8:20
  through those rough patches and last year it really kind of
• 8:24
  brought life back to the event. Obviously more changes this
• 8:28
  year. Hopefully we can get back to
• 8:29
  that. But it was it was something
• 8:31
  special last year for those who are in person.
• 8:34
  Yeah, I mean, going back three years, like where it was like
• 8:38
  they just take the 120 from North America and throw them
• 8:42
  into the four different, you know, semifinals.
• 8:46
  Like there was no regionalization from it.
• 8:49
  I, I imagine it probably was harder to get fans to go to that
• 8:53
  versus what it was like last year.
• 8:55
  Do you think that's a fair statement?
• 8:57
  Yeah, I think that year it was kind of like a lottery and the
• 9:00
  athletes could put in their picks between the four events
• 9:03
  that may or may not be around now, right?
• 9:05
  We didn't get those rosters until really late.
• 9:09
  And so it's hard to market the event when you didn't know who
• 9:11
  the athletes were. And so as we go into the
• 9:14
  qualification process for Syndicate Crown, I can go over
• 9:17
  how we can pre market some of those things while still holding
• 9:20
  true to the test of making sure that we find the fittest people
• 9:24
  out of the the the game season before they go to Albany, NY.
• 9:29
  Yeah. And so, but while Syndicate
• 9:31
  crown and TFX have it regional based, you guys don't have the
• 9:34
  same qualification method. So how can you describe from a
• 9:39
  Syndicate Crown how an athlete like Austin Hatfield can make it
• 9:45
  to syndicate? Sure.
• 9:46
  Yeah. So we'll start with the elite
• 9:47
  individuals. And so we have 30 spots for
• 9:51
  individual men and women. Twenty of those spots will be
• 9:54
  from the CrossFit Open North America East filtered
• 9:59
  leaderboard. All right.
• 10:00
  And so that's not 20 for the, we're only thinking 20, right.
• 10:05
  We have 10 more spots. And so those 10 remaining spots,
• 10:07
  we're going to wait until the in affiliate online semifinals and
• 10:13
  invite the next 10 spots below the cut line for those who have
• 10:17
  not already qualified. And so that's going to round out
• 10:20
  your 30. So a big asterisk here is that
• 10:23
  we are not allowing anyone who's already qualified in person or
• 10:28
  online to attend the event. And so the true podium is going
• 10:32
  to be who are rooting for to go to the CrossFit Games.
• 10:36
  So if someone qualified through Mayhem, hypothetically, we would
• 10:39
  rescind that invite and backfill.
• 10:41
  Now we're not going to backfill through the open, all right?
• 10:44
  That's a one round type of thing.
• 10:46
  We're going to backfill through the in affiliate.
• 10:48
  I like to put more effort into that leaderboard.
• 10:51
  And so instead of 10, we'll go down to 11 or 12 or however many
• 10:54
  spots we need to do. But once again, it's the North
• 10:57
  America East leaderboard. So when we look at it from a
• 11:00
  worldwide standpoint, we're going to have to skip a couple
• 11:02
  names, right, because they might be from other regions.
• 11:05
  And that's the, that's the Community Cup, right, Brian?
• 11:09
  No, no. No, OK, you need to explain that
• 11:12
  first. You need to explain that for.
• 11:14
  The in affiliate semifinal, that's the second stage, so
• 11:18
  that's where the top 11 worldwide will qualify directly
• 11:22
  to the games. And so Syndicate Crown will take
• 11:27
  potentially 12th place in that right.
• 11:29
  And then they'll get an invite to Syndicate Crown because
• 11:32
  they're the first one out of of not qualifying directly from the
• 11:37
  in affiliate semifinal. Yeah.
• 11:39
  So the in affiliate semifinal, John is the first weekend of
• 11:41
  May, right? We know that.
• 11:42
  I got I just got confused by your wording on it.
• 11:44
  I thought you were. I thought the top 20 were coming
• 11:47
  from that. No top 20 completely open.
• 11:50
  Open, John. There we go.
• 11:51
  OK, I I was taking it from the semifinal and then there was
• 11:54
  something after that. Yeah, 20 from the Open, 10 from
• 11:57
  an affiliate which is AKA online semifinal for the individuals
• 12:01
  that rounds out are 30 and any backfills from the Open will be
• 12:06
  through the in affiliate. Listen, I'm I'm a, I'm a, I'm a
• 12:11
  man of the people. I'm a man of the people.
• 12:14
  No, I couldn't tell if you're being serious.
• 12:15
  I like. That's why that's how I like to
• 12:19
  keep it, Wilson like there's sometimes.
• 12:21
  Community tough. I'm like, you gotta be kidding
• 12:23
  me, right? Sometimes I'm much smarter than
• 12:26
  people think and other times I am just as dumb as they believe
• 12:28
  I am. So it's.
• 12:30
  CrossFit, if you want to come hang out with us at the
• 12:32
  semifinals, please, please tell us who you are.
• 12:36
  You go get a seat right next to me and John.
• 12:39
  I'm the smartest dumper or the dumbest smart person there is.
• 12:43
  It's just. No, I think it's dope that
• 12:48
  you're if, if somebody qualifies to Mayhem, you're like, sorry
• 12:52
  about you. You're not.
• 12:53
  You're not competing here. That was one of the hardest
• 12:56
  things back in the sanction time was how that all worked, right?
• 13:01
  Like how many people were competing even though they had
• 13:03
  already qualified? And you're like, all right,
• 13:06
  these nine people have already qualified, All right, 10th
• 13:09
  place, you get you get your invite, so.
• 13:11
  Yeah. So that's going to be the elite
• 13:13
  individuals. So we got 30 spots.
• 13:16
  I sent a minimum of 30. I really like where 30 is for
• 13:20
  the type of caliber of athletes that we're going to have.
• 13:22
  I'm not against 40 spots but have.
• 13:24
  You thought about going to 80, most likely keeping that 30 like
• 13:27
  Wadlin Fest. Oh wow, that's significant.
• 13:34
  Oh wow yeah keep that 30. You won't have 80 problems
• 13:37
  selling tickets if you do that. So I can go into teams.
• 13:42
  Yeah. So like, yeah, if you're not, if
• 13:44
  you're not the top athletes, there's obviously more ways that
• 13:47
  you can actually compete there, right?
• 13:49
  Yeah. So for the elite teams, we're
• 13:52
  gonna you know it's not a games qualifying in person event,
• 13:55
  right? They're gonna go from the team
• 13:57
  in affiliate online semifinal. John, if you didn't follow that,
• 14:00
  that's it's all I. Thought you were talking about
• 14:04
  the semi final, we were talking about the open and then it
• 14:06
  jacked me up a. Little bit.
• 14:07
  That's all good. That's all that happened.
• 14:09
  Calm down. For the open, the teams from the
• 14:12
  North America East, so we are using residents once again
• 14:15
  similar to the individuals, the top 30 teams from North America
• 14:20
  East, right? They're going to be unique
• 14:22
  affiliates, right, 30 separate affiliates being represented.
• 14:26
  We're going to invite them to the main event.
• 14:28
  They don't have to accept, right?
• 14:30
  But it is a point where they can brush it up on their fitness
• 14:33
  before. Hopefully the games will use the
• 14:37
  leaderboard of the in affiliate team semifinal for like their
• 14:41
  heat placements and like their rankings of like seeding because
• 14:45
  they're going to automatically qualify, right?
• 14:47
  But we are going to use the open leaderboard to make sure that we
• 14:51
  can market those teams the same as the 20 individuals.
• 14:55
  You know, there is no requirement for them to be
• 14:57
  there. It's just we want to provide a
• 14:58
  showcase for those elite teams and all the cross the community
• 15:01
  that wants to cheer them on. So that's going to be super,
• 15:04
  super cool outside. We've seen, we've seen a benefit
• 15:07
  though for teams do that, like going to crash, crescendo, the
• 15:12
  team competition with that Jr. runs like you've seen handfuls
• 15:16
  of teams in previous years ago. I mean, especially this year
• 15:21
  where you have less in person competitions, like if you're a
• 15:27
  team that is, is, you know, going to the games, like you
• 15:32
  need some, you you need to get some on field experience.
• 15:35
  So yeah, hopefully those that do qualify do do get out there and.
• 15:39
  And hell, dude, I don't even I don't even buy the just brush
• 15:43
  up. Like this is just a brush up
• 15:44
  competition. No, this is like the the fittest
• 15:47
  of the East team. It's the East Crown.
• 15:50
  Yeah, I gotta finally. Get it?
• 15:52
  I gotta find a new prop. We used to give out these
• 15:54
  massive swords for the Mac. We'll find a similar prize that
• 15:58
  people can take pride in and maybe that kind of rotates
• 16:00
  through. Do you guys remember the old, I
• 16:03
  think regional, they had the totem.
• 16:05
  I remember we brought it back to to Labour's CrossFit when they
• 16:08
  won the Atlantic Regional and they kind of stamped all the
• 16:11
  teams that won in the previous years and we had to ship it back
• 16:14
  every single year and it was a huge ordeal.
• 16:16
  But it was super cool to hang in the gym.
• 16:18
  No, I wish we had kind of like the the Stanley Cup for teams
• 16:22
  and then you could just like it's just one big trophy and it
• 16:26
  goes at your affiliate or whatever and then it goes to the
• 16:29
  next affiliate Once you once they win, like the games, teams
• 16:32
  came games, just one trophy and it just you put your name on it
• 16:37
  and then it goes around. I feel like I I just, it keeps
• 16:43
  history with you. Yeah, I'm all for it.
• 16:46
  Yeah. I think.
• 16:47
  I think we're. Go ahead, Wilson.
• 16:49
  No, we'll find a way to do something.
• 16:50
  I don't know if it's going to be a totem pole thing that they had
• 16:53
  in the past, but something similar where we can just
• 16:55
  display the affiliate name, maybe the members on the team,
• 16:59
  and then the year that they won. That's super easy to continue
• 17:03
  that tradition. Be like CrossFit Mayhem, but
• 17:06
  like, not really. The last is.
• 17:10
  Hendersonville. We're going to have community
• 17:12
  teams, right? Those who were there last year,
• 17:16
  we had the workout stage outside For this year we're going to
• 17:20
  have two stages running inside of the Knoxville Civic Coliseum.
• 17:24
  And so it's going to be a really great production to where as a
• 17:29
  fan you can watch 2 workout floors going on at once.
• 17:33
  Obviously, the schedule is going to be built out to be able to
• 17:35
  watch the elites on one stage versus the other.
• 17:38
  But there's going to be moments where the community, we're going
• 17:41
  to have the quarters division. It's a brand new term that we're
• 17:44
  using RIP quarterfinals. But it gives you an idea of the
• 17:47
  type of athlete we're looking for.
• 17:49
  And so the quarters division is going to be a team of four, two
• 17:52
  men, two women who have the capacity to qualify for the
• 17:56
  cross of quarterfinals for the past several years and complete
• 17:59
  them, right. So that's a higher level of
• 18:01
  skill, higher level of load. And then we have the open
• 18:04
  division, which is you have the capacity to do the open as
• 18:07
  prescribed and complete most CrossFit benchmark workouts as
• 18:11
  RX. So that one has a much bigger
• 18:13
  range. Those are the two divisions that
• 18:16
  we're going to start with. They're going to mirror the same
• 18:18
  workouts as the team, and so super excited for them to be
• 18:22
  able to do modified versions of the elite workouts.
• 18:26
  We're considering adding a scale below that.
• 18:29
  We just want to make sure that we can fit in the schedule.
• 18:31
  So I don't want to tease too much, but we want to build it
• 18:34
  for quarters and the open division.
• 18:38
  So it gives affiliate members the, you know, the desire to
• 18:42
  train a little bit more, be present within their community,
• 18:46
  you know, train with others. I think right now people train
• 18:48
  by themselves way too much. I got in across it because I
• 18:52
  squatted to the squatted with the person to my left and to my
• 18:54
  right and in class, you know, and so hopefully we can drive a
• 18:57
  little bit more of that in the affiliate.
• 19:00
  What's super cool is the individuals are going to do 222,
• 19:03
  so 2 workouts on Friday, 2 on Saturday and 2:00 on Sunday.
• 19:07
  The teams of elite will do 122. So one on Friday, 2 on Saturday,
• 19:11
  2:00 on Sunday, and then the community is going to do 0 on
• 19:14
  Friday, but they'll do two and two for Saturday and Sunday.
• 19:17
  And so that really just helps breakdown people's expectations
• 19:20
  of the event format for the both the elite and the community
• 19:24
  divisions. And can they sign up now?
• 19:28
  Yeah, absolutely. Yeah.
• 19:29
  Our website is live. You can, if you want to
• 19:31
  spectate, you can purchase your spectator ticket.
• 19:34
  It's an early bird special. It's cheaper than I've.
• 19:37
  It's the cheapest package I've ever put out for any event that
• 19:39
  I've ever run to get people into the stands.
• 19:41
  Prices will go up as we get closer to the event in three
• 19:44
  different waves. If you want to compete as a
• 19:47
  community athlete in one of those divisions, go to the
• 19:50
  website, you'll go to Competition Corner under the
• 19:53
  compete tab on the top right. And then if you want to book
• 19:56
  your hotel, you'll go through the hotel link.
• 19:59
  So anything that you could possibly need is going to be
• 20:02
  there. I'm going to be very frank and
• 20:04
  honest. Ticketmaster is very hefty and
• 20:07
  that's why those face value rates are significantly lower.
• 20:11
  But there's one of those are one of those things when you work
• 20:12
  with bigger venues, you're subject to working with
• 20:15
  Ticketmaster. Scroll up, you can go to the
• 20:19
  compete tab. And that's where community
• 20:22
  athletes and elite athletes can get a little bit more
• 20:25
  information. On those formats and divisions.
• 20:29
  There you go. And you scroll all the way down
• 20:32
  to the the community teams. I will say for those who want to
• 20:36
  go Knoxville, I mean like last year really turned around.
• 20:40
  It really started to feel like a regional again.
• 20:43
  We're starting to pull back from the region and so the vibe is
• 20:46
  super dope. If you haven't, never, if you
• 20:48
  have never been the Knoxville Civic Coliseum, that's what it's
• 20:54
  called, right? Yeah.
• 20:55
  It feels like an old school, like basketball gym, like, I
• 20:59
  don't know, like you see in movies.
• 21:02
  Yeah. Like, kind of like Duke.
• 21:03
  And so the vibes are just super, super dope.
• 21:06
  I don't. You will not regret going.
• 21:08
  And then also like Knoxville, super cheap to stay in.
• 21:11
  There's a ton of, like, great places to eat.
• 21:13
  I love Knoxville because I lived there for a couple years.
• 21:15
  But Knoxville's dope. Now it's cool.
• 21:19
  Can anybody volunteer? No, we close all volunteer
• 21:23
  registration. Man, we, I felt really bad.
• 21:27
  We only accepted 200. We had to say no to around 2:50.
• 21:32
  We put a lot on the wait list and you know, a lot of them are
• 21:36
  returning very experienced individuals who are supporting
• 21:38
  this project. And it's, it's sucked to not
• 21:42
  accept everyone, but obviously there's a ton of resources that
• 21:44
  are involved to feeding them and taking care of those people.
• 21:47
  And so hopefully they can continue to volunteer at other
• 21:50
  events in North America. How is this year working
• 21:54
  differently than last year, right?
• 21:56
  Last year you were hosting a semi final on behalf of
• 22:00
  CrossFit. This year you're on your own,
• 22:04
  right? Like what?
• 22:05
  What? How is that different?
• 22:07
  These, you know, when it was announced in December, So it's
• 22:10
  been a couple months that you've been doing this.
• 22:12
  What? What's the differences?
• 22:13
  Yeah, I would say that, I mean, starting from 2019 as a
• 22:16
  sectional with Mac and then 2021 Mac, 2022 Mac and Syndicate,
• 22:21
  Syndicate was inaugurio and 22 and then Syndicate last year.
• 22:25
  There's been so many different arrangements on how to fund
• 22:28
  these projects, right. There's collaboration with
• 22:30
  CrossFit. There's a lot of things on our
• 22:32
  own this year we're we're pretty much on our own to do
• 22:36
  everything, right. And those revenue streams of
• 22:38
  ticket sales, community event registration and sponsorships
• 22:42
  are the three that really drive home the budget.
• 22:45
  And so with being so early in February, a lot of those things
• 22:49
  haven't really kicked off. And so to be able to plan this,
• 22:53
  this wedding for 203 hundred plus cross fitters, right, is
• 22:57
  how I give the analogy, right. It's essentially what I'm doing.
• 23:00
  It's, I think we're all kind of in this boat where it's kind of
• 23:05
  how I ran gyms. It's you want the best for your
• 23:08
  members. And so you go above and beyond,
• 23:10
  probably more than you should to provide the best service and
• 23:13
  product to make it look and feel a certain way because we care
• 23:18
  about the sport so much. And I think that's why a lot of
• 23:21
  these events have not been able to stick around over the years
• 23:24
  because it cost so much money and it cost a lot of of
• 23:27
  resources, right? There's about 50 people from our
• 23:31
  internal team that give up a week of PTO, you know, to work
• 23:35
  hard, sleep very few hours and to just, you know, answer 1000
• 23:41
  questions throughout the weekend, right.
• 23:43
  And so I think to answer your question, this year is
• 23:46
  challenging because it's hard to find partnerships, you know, it
• 23:51
  to convince people to invest their dollars to get their
• 23:54
  return. And so for us, it's we want to
• 23:57
  bolt vendor village. We want people to show up and
• 24:00
  spend, but at the same time, like I'm just one person who's
• 24:03
  working behind the pipe and drape to make this happen.
• 24:05
  And so I hope that this can be a collective effort within the
• 24:09
  cross community to to garner support.
• 24:12
  You guys have seen all these different type of events
• 24:14
  throughout the years. There's probably more events
• 24:16
  that have exited the space that have stayed in.
• 24:19
  And so my goal is to stay around to continue polishing our skill
• 24:24
  set to providing that best experience for those who've been
• 24:26
  there. There's a lot of expectation
• 24:28
  that I have for athletes, staff and brands and I hope that
• 24:32
  people have felt that for those who have been in attendance.
• 24:36
  Josh G First of all, thanks for the $2.00.
• 24:39
  Do tickets sell out fast or is there time to buy I.
• 24:41
  Think yes, Josh, they're they're selling out right now.
• 24:44
  You need to go to the site right now and buy them.
• 24:48
  They sell way faster than JY barbell shirts, I'll tell you
• 24:51
  that. I will tell you that.
• 24:54
  Well, here's what I'll tell you. There's.
• 24:55
  I don't know, I hope I'm wrong. I mean, if a place sells out,
• 24:57
  great. I've never sold out the place.
• 24:59
  I think last year it was probably 3/4 full and it would
• 25:03
  the energy was electric last year.
• 25:04
  There's also been years where the place was like 1/3 full and
• 25:08
  it wasn't the same. There's going to be available
• 25:10
  tickets from now to the event, but the price will increase.
• 25:15
  It's early bird now. It's going to increase after the
• 25:17
  open because it will have a roster by then.
• 25:20
  It'll increase the weekend of in affiliate semifinals.
• 25:23
  It's going to that's. In May, John.
• 25:26
  Yeah, I got, I got and then it's going to increase at the door.
• 25:29
  I just we just had a baby, all right, Like let me.
• 25:34
  There it is. There it is.
• 25:36
  My head is in a a bunch of different places, calm down.
• 25:39
  Yeah, so there's four, there's four waves is what I call them.
• 25:43
  There's four waves. So it, you know, it might be
• 25:45
  $10, it might be $15.00 more or less.
• 25:48
  But you know, if you're buying at the door, like, hey, you're
• 25:50
  going to pay more than everyone else because you waited last
• 25:52
  minute. So we want people to commit.
• 25:55
  We don't want people waiting to the last day of the open
• 25:58
  submission of 25.1 to sign up. Like let's, let's get this
• 26:02
  planned accordingly because it does require so much effort.
• 26:06
  And you know, you, you'll go into syndicate and you'll go
• 26:09
  into any other event and you'll see all the branding and you'll
• 26:11
  see the signage to make it feel like a cross, a competition that
• 26:14
  comes at a cost, right? And so for me, you.
• 26:16
  Don't get that free, Yeah. I wish there was this massive
• 26:21
  banner that hopefully I can repurpose issue year, but it was
• 26:24
  like 110 feet long. For those who were there last
• 26:27
  year, It's it's what I use to cover up an air wall and you
• 26:30
  know, just having a bunch of skulls everywhere throughout the
• 26:33
  venue was was pretty awesome to see.
• 26:36
  Yeah, that's, that's awesome. Yeah.
• 26:38
  So I think it was, I think April 4th is when the the next ticket
• 26:42
  price goes up. So definitely go, if you're
• 26:44
  going to be in Knoxville, I think Josh was going to be
• 26:49
  there. So go get those now.
• 26:52
  Do you want to share some big news?
• 26:55
  Yeah, for sure. Do you?
• 26:55
  Want to share the Super secret news or the secret news?
• 26:58
  Just go with the secret first. None of.
• 27:00
  Them is secret man. They're just I want to get
• 27:02
  people excited for the event. The first one, you know, for
• 27:06
  most of you guys, we want to make sure that for those who
• 27:09
  can't be in attendance, right, that there's the ability for
• 27:12
  people to view at home. And so we just partnered out
• 27:14
  with the step on podcast as the official live stream partner for
• 27:18
  the event. I'm super excited because I
• 27:21
  started working with you guys and step on scene last year and
• 27:25
  I think there's going to be a different traditional.
• 27:27
  I think there's a different model that we can approach to
• 27:29
  giving access to what we can provide at the event.
• 27:33
  I think there's going to be a lot of behind the behind the
• 27:35
  scenes footage. I think there's going to be a
• 27:37
  lot of just raw, unedited, real time conversations with athletes
• 27:45
  that people are going to really appreciate as they come off the
• 27:47
  competition floor. We're going to work really hard
• 27:50
  on providing coverage of the elite division.
• 27:54
  There's there's talks on other divisions as well, but we want
• 27:56
  to make sure that for those who can't attend that we have an
• 27:59
  Ave. for that. And the the venue is built for a
• 28:03
  good live stream. You know, there's really great
• 28:05
  lighting. The venue has really good
• 28:08
  structures to be able to place cameras and things like that.
• 28:10
  So yeah, I'm really excited. I think there's going to be a
• 28:15
  level of exposure that just is going to get CrossFit fans
• 28:19
  excited. I just want to say we're all
• 28:22
  going to be there. We're all going to be there.
• 28:25
  It's going to be amazing, OK? What we did with Crash, we're
• 28:29
  going to double down and do it better at Syndicate.
• 28:32
  That's right, crash was just the beginning.
• 28:34
  And I I. I might even be there.
• 28:36
  Oh, spins coming. I don't, I don't care what you
• 28:38
  say, I've already, I've already started scheduling you.
• 28:41
  Like how? How do you not?
• 28:43
  Let me tell you, Wilson was the first person to let me behind
• 28:48
  the scenes at any CrossFit event.
• 28:51
  And so it's, it's felt very poetic that I started there.
• 28:57
  No one knew me. I just, I had a lanyard and you
• 28:59
  let me walk around and Will and I were together there in the
• 29:02
  bottoms in 20. What year was that, 2020?
• 29:06
  22. 2022 and to come full circle and now we're running the
• 29:11
  production like it feels dope and the thing we.
• 29:16
  Got to find a better word than dope.
• 29:18
  Tyler No, I'm using dope all night long.
• 29:19
  John It just it means a lot to me.
• 29:24
  And like for Wilson, like everyone involved in this
• 29:28
  production now on, on Wilson side and on the seven podcast
• 29:32
  side is like all doing this because we love everything about
• 29:36
  what's about to happen. And I, I wish I could put the
• 29:41
  emotion out there that it's like, this is very important
• 29:43
  that you guys watch you guys come out because we've been,
• 29:47
  we've all been working for years to do this the right way.
• 29:50
  So and I appreciate Wilson for taking a chance on us.
• 29:55
  You know what, I'm excited and I tell you and like you guys, we
• 29:57
  talk about the, the regional feel.
• 30:00
  I, I feel what gave regionals like, what made it such a big
• 30:04
  deal? It was, was the heartbreak.
• 30:06
  Like you saw big names not make it, you know, Catherine in 2014,
• 30:12
  Sam in 2014, you know, like Nick Forry missed out by like 3
• 30:20
  points, 87 years in a row. Cole Anderson, Colt Cody
• 30:25
  Anderson, Brent Fukowski missed two years in a row where he
• 30:28
  should have made it like we're going to see.
• 30:31
  And especially with just two, the only two game spots in the
• 30:35
  East, There's heavy, heavy hitters like Hopper Sprague's in
• 30:40
  the East now, right, Brian? I want to make sure I get
• 30:42
  everything right. Sprague is in the West there,
• 30:44
  Chief. Well, he's been he's.
• 30:47
  In the West. He's doing make him classic
• 30:49
  then, right? Sprague is OK, Hopper, Roman
• 30:52
  Hatfield down like it's only two of those guys are going.
• 30:57
  And I want I want I want Austin to be the reason Jason doesn't
• 31:02
  make it so badly. It's good, but the heartbreak
• 31:07
  that comes with not making it I think makes the competition
• 31:11
  bigger year after year after. Like people, they want to see
• 31:16
  the race between the actual best of the best.
• 31:21
  Well. Like they want to see the Tyler
• 31:22
  Christophils. Just yeah.
• 31:24
  But here's the thing. Here's the thing.
• 31:26
  It's not the Tyler Christopher's.
• 31:27
  It's it's Jason Hopper. It's going to move up now it's.
• 31:31
  Roman Krynikoff, You know what I mean?
• 31:34
  Tyler Christopher used to be catching freaking David's
• 31:37
  daughter and now it's Tyler Christopher.
• 31:40
  And look at a lot. Captain David's daughter is.
• 31:42
  What look at a lot of the Tyler Christopher.
• 31:44
  He's a great athlete. He's fitter than any of us will
• 31:47
  ever be. Twitter.
• 31:49
  He's Twitter, right? Well, I know we all talk about
• 31:53
  like the heavy hitters. I My biggest memory, my favorite
• 31:57
  memory from last year was it was the loudest the event the venue
• 32:01
  was and it was when Lydia Fish hit the snatch.
• 32:04
  God, that was amazing. It was the loudest I've ever
• 32:06
  heard the venue. And so a special moment for her.
• 32:10
  And I mean, that's really what I'm also trying to do is find
• 32:13
  the next generation of athletes as well, right?
• 32:16
  Like you said, they're all out of heavy hitters.
• 32:17
  But I think this event has created an identity for this
• 32:20
  year to bring in that next wave of athletes who are trying to
• 32:24
  qualify and make that cut line I.
• 32:26
  Mean that, but that's a part of it.
• 32:27
  When you have a name that isn't hasn't been there, that takes
• 32:31
  out somebody who's been there. You know, I mean, we're probably
• 32:35
  still a couple years away, but there.
• 32:36
  If a Lydia fish is the reason Brooke Wells doesn't go to the
• 32:40
  games, that's enormous for her for Brooke, it's enormous for
• 32:45
  every everybody. I'm just really excited to be a
• 32:49
  part of it. I I hope we do not let you down.
• 32:54
  And we're not. We're all.
• 32:57
  We're all. We're all going to work really,
• 32:58
  really hard. And.
• 33:00
  I've been blessed to have been in this venue.
• 33:02
  Now this will be our, this will be my 4th event in the same
• 33:06
  venue. So hopefully I can bring some
• 33:08
  best practices over to, you know, make the production side a
• 33:11
  little bit easier. Yeah.
• 33:14
  I think that, you know, the venue has been really great in
• 33:16
  accommodating to providing all the ancillary services for what
• 33:20
  we need. So yeah, we'll let you guys do
• 33:23
  your thing after that. All right, so now the Super
• 33:26
  secret news. Super secret squirrel.
• 33:28
  When I when I was scheduling this with you, you mentioned it.
• 33:32
  I do not know. Tyler does not know.
• 33:34
  John thinks he knows. He doesn't know yo.
• 33:38
  So when he says when he says the Sevon, when he says the Sevon
• 33:41
  crew, he's talking about the entire Sevon crew.
• 33:45
  OK, go ahead, Wilson. I don't.
• 33:49
  Oh, man, I don't know how to take it from John because I
• 33:51
  haven't met you yet, so I'm trying to read the room.
• 33:54
  Yeah. So I think with this, with
• 33:56
  events in general, right within across the world, the athlete
• 34:00
  experiences up top of mind, right.
• 34:02
  And programming those events is the identity of the event
• 34:05
  because that's what draws the storytelling and everything.
• 34:08
  With that, for this year, Jr. Hal is going to be our head head
• 34:12
  programmer for. The Polish.
• 34:14
  Yep. And we've been working together
• 34:17
  for the past couple months and things are dialed in.
• 34:21
  There's a lot of conversation that I'm sure that's going to
• 34:23
  come after that. But I want to give that guy some
• 34:25
  love. He's put, he's obsessed with it.
• 34:29
  His DNA is all over the programming.
• 34:32
  We've done a lot of work with the events, individuals and
• 34:37
  teams. We have locked in a lot of that
• 34:40
  stuff. And the workouts are going to be
• 34:42
  tough. You know the workouts are going
• 34:44
  to be challenging. There was a couple of things
• 34:47
  that I really wanted to check off before finding someone with
• 34:50
  the programming team. In years past, the 12 laborers
• 34:52
  cross a team has been a part of the crew.
• 34:55
  Luke ESPY and Josh Arcona. Man, those guys, the three of
• 34:58
  us, we really LED those programming efforts in the the
• 35:00
  early days and we've accomplished a lot.
• 35:04
  We've obviously been a little bit more behind the pipe and
• 35:05
  drape and let the the events speak for themselves, but there
• 35:10
  was a couple of things that there's very few people in the
• 35:12
  space that I think 1, they're in affiliate.
• 35:14
  They're in the affiliate every single day, right?
• 35:17
  They run gyms. You know, he's the affiliate
• 35:19
  owner. Like that was very important to
• 35:20
  me. He runs his own events, right,
• 35:25
  and understands the logistics behind that with Crescendo and
• 35:31
  Crucible. He's an athlete himself.
• 35:35
  He's super humble, but he is a phenomenal athlete.
• 35:39
  I kind of want, I kind of want to know shit like I.
• 35:43
  Dude, it's going to be so fun. We're going to have so much a
• 35:46
  good time. It it has to mean so much.
• 35:48
  Can you imagine getting to program a regional?
• 35:50
  Not many people have been able to do that.
• 35:52
  Oh, I bet Jr. is hyped. Yeah.
• 35:55
  So it's like I'm, I'm, I'm extremely happy for, for Jr.
• 36:01
  Yeah, he there's very few people in the space that I think meet
• 36:04
  those like criteria. Obviously I've been I've been
• 36:08
  able to check out those, check off those cups.
• 36:11
  But really, I think it's really easy to find someone who who
• 36:14
  really cares and has the passion for it and more importantly
• 36:18
  understands the past, can pay homage to that, but also
• 36:22
  understands the modern athlete and what they're capable of
• 36:24
  doing. And not making sure that, you
• 36:26
  know, they just slide by like they're going to get challenged
• 36:29
  and we're going to send the right people to the Games
• 36:31
  because of that. And yeah, to be, you know, have
• 36:34
  been exposed to their programming already and having
• 36:37
  tested and having everything checked off the list, you know,
• 36:42
  tweaking things. I mean, we're we're in a really
• 36:45
  good spot to make sure that the athletes have the best
• 36:49
  experience. And I hope you know you guys
• 36:52
  will see his DNA all over those workouts down the road, much
• 36:57
  closer to the event when they get released.
• 37:00
  I'm curious, you don't have the answer is you don't want to, but
• 37:03
  the the way you said that was pay homage to where the sport
• 37:07
  comes from but also knows the modern athlete.
• 37:10
  Do you think Jr. would you say that he is better at that than
• 37:15
  Dave? I have not worked directly with
• 37:22
  Dave in that capacity. You don't have to answer that
• 37:25
  question. I I just, I just it, it made it
• 37:28
  just made me really think, think about with the way that like,
• 37:32
  you know, the last games programming, you know, was
• 37:34
  probably the worst program year of all, the all time.
• 37:38
  It just makes me think about that when you say stuff like
• 37:40
  that. Yeah, I just think, you know,
• 37:42
  he's been around for a long time and he's synonymous with
• 37:48
  programming, you know, whether it's within a gym, whether it's
• 37:51
  for class. I mean, he's he's he's obsessed
• 37:55
  with movement. He's obsessed with how things
• 37:57
  are laid out, the storytelling behind that.
• 38:00
  Yeah, don't get me wrong. Like I have provided him
• 38:03
  guardrails and bumpers to stay within.
• 38:06
  We know those. I mean, the venue, the
• 38:10
  dimension. Oh, OK.
• 38:12
  OK, nothing, nothing, nothing crazy.
• 38:14
  There has to be a lunch on the last workout.
• 38:17
  No, it's, it's interesting, you know, I, I've been, you know,
• 38:21
  been able to take the lead on programming with the cohort that
• 38:23
  I had previously with the 12 labours team.
• 38:26
  And it was a lot of dynamic and group, group think I really have
• 38:31
  given him the freedom. This is, this is his baby and
• 38:34
  making sure that I don't interfere with the level
• 38:38
  programming that he wants put out based on the parameters that
• 38:41
  I'm giving him. And we've been working every day
• 38:45
  together for the past couple months to get to this point.
• 38:48
  And so I think he'll tell you that we've been interwoven to
• 38:52
  understand every reason of what we're doing, why and how.
• 38:56
  Progression loading format, stimulus time caps, the number
• 39:03
  of movement patterns per day, total workout time being
• 39:06
  accumulated each day across three days, the amount of rest
• 39:09
  in between. I mean, we're both of us are
• 39:12
  just obsessed with it. I mean, we're waking up in the
• 39:14
  middle of the night and insectsing each other and giving
• 39:17
  ideas and continually reworking things.
• 39:20
  And I think that's where it's never truly a finished product,
• 39:23
  but it can get pretty close to it.
• 39:25
  So have you thought about with Jr. doing the programming?
• 39:29
  Have you have you heard of the thing called P score?
• 39:32
  Yeah, I was going to say so that I was actually crying for me
• 39:35
  because J Rs. That's amazing.
• 39:39
  I didn't even put the two together.
• 39:41
  Tyler, that's so. Funny J Rs contractually
• 39:45
  obligated to do P score so I'm I'm I'm happy to announce the P
• 39:49
  score will be the official scoring system of the syndicate
• 39:51
  crowds that's. One of the that's one of the
• 39:52
  guardrails. That's awesome, man.
• 40:00
  I'm being honest, I'm actually pretty curious.
• 40:03
  No shit, look into it. I don't know what the parameters
• 40:06
  are with scoring. I mean, obviously game scoring
• 40:08
  100 point table, you know, with 30 spots, 30 spots, you know 30.
• 40:12
  I'm curious to know let's. Do it, man, if we're going to
• 40:15
  do. It let's do it.
• 40:16
  Yeah, just just just right here, right here on the show.
• 40:19
  Just say yes and we'll, we'll figure it You'll you'll you'll
• 40:22
  go with it. It'll feel good.
• 40:24
  You're going to have to show it back and.
• 40:26
  And Christabel have -153 points on one of the events.
• 40:34
  All right, dude, that's awesome. I did not know that news.
• 40:38
  So you're able to keep it away from from me?
• 40:42
  That was that was good. Yeah, it's been worse.
• 40:44
  For the CIA. So that's hard to do.
• 40:46
  Yeah. It's I'm, we're super excited.
• 40:49
  He's going to join our competition team.
• 40:51
  You know, we have a bunch of individuals on that side of the
• 40:54
  house that he's going to be working with.
• 40:56
  And I think we're just all going to collaborate and just get on
• 40:59
  the same page and just execute. And you know what?
• 41:02
  We can have the best plan, but we still have to execute by the
• 41:05
  minute to be able to keep getting off.
• 41:09
  Imagine this conversation, Wilson goes.
• 41:12
  Hey man, I've been thinking about it.
• 41:15
  Why don't you just program Syndicate?
• 41:16
  I, I, that'd be awesome. Why don't you do like, let's do
• 41:19
  that. If we're going to do it, let's
• 41:20
  do it. And then Jr. goes OK.
• 41:23
  Sounds good. Sounds good.
• 41:25
  Well, the, the best part of all this is obviously, you know, the
• 41:28
  Sevon relationship only came recently.
• 41:32
  The Jr. conversation started a long time ago.
• 41:36
  And so it's, it's pretty, you know, it's not hard to, to keep
• 41:40
  things behind closed doors for the appropriate reasons until
• 41:43
  it's ready to go out and so. Did it start in the bathroom of
• 41:47
  of a Knoxville? Oh man, I want I want that
• 41:54
  bathroom back. No shit.
• 41:57
  I don't know what what the what you're talking about.
• 41:59
  So that's where they did their show from.
• 42:01
  Yeah, we did our show. Like this?
• 42:02
  Yeah, he live stream from the bathroom.
• 42:04
  Yeah, and. So too, we had this ancillary
• 42:07
  room. It's it's a beauty room for, you
• 42:09
  know, an old school venue. And they have like these big
• 42:12
  mirrors and there's a bathroom. Obviously there's a door, but
• 42:15
  it's where people got ready before shows.
• 42:16
  And so they hosted a lot of concerts at the Coliseum.
• 42:19
  And I gave them a room to to go live with their podcast last
• 42:23
  year. And yeah, it was.
• 42:25
  They just called it the bathroom.
• 42:29
  It was so cold in that room, it was amazing 'cause you'd be like
• 42:32
  you'd be so hot from doing all the stuff and you'd come in
• 42:35
  there and it was like you were in a freezer.
• 42:37
  It was. It was great.
• 42:39
  Yeah, what I like about the venue a lot is it's actually
• 42:41
  very cool 'cause they turn on the air and it's it's a it just
• 42:46
  feels great, you know, even though people are sweating and
• 42:48
  there's a lot of people running around, the venue's just really
• 42:51
  built for that type of experience.
• 42:53
  Yeah, Wilson, I appreciate it man.
• 42:56
  If you guys haven't done so, go buy a spectator ticket, go out
• 43:00
  to the Knoxville May 30th to June 1st.
• 43:03
  If you are competitive, sign up, register.
• 43:07
  It'll help out syndicate. It'll help out everybody and
• 43:12
  interesting to see how it all shakes out, especially with Jr.
• 43:15
  now programming syndicate crown. There'll be 6 to 10,000 of you
• 43:20
  watch this show. At least half better buy
• 43:23
  freaking tickets to the syndicate crown.
• 43:25
  If you like this group at all, buy tickets.
• 43:29
  Heidi is my eight time. Audrey and I, Audrey and Heidi
• 43:32
  will be there. So if that's not another reason,
• 43:37
  go on out there. Go meet Heidi and Audrey.
• 43:41
  So all right, man. Thank you.
• 43:43
  Thank you for meeting you in person.
• 43:46
  Talk soon. All right, see ya.
• 43:51
  There it is. I told y'all y'all to be
• 43:53
  excited. I had no.
• 43:55
  I want to know how John got this information.
• 43:57
  I do too, I just took a stab in the dark, Don't worry about it.
• 44:00
  You didn't know nothing. I happen to be right.
• 44:02
  If we're doing the Savon crew, that just makes sense.
• 44:06
  That's good. That's a good point.
• 44:09
  Yeah, you guys want to go into viewer comments I got?
• 44:13
  Souza Souza has an announcement. Yeah, yeah.
• 44:15
  What? What?
• 44:17
  What are we going to do? Is he?
• 44:21
  What is it, Souza? We're just waiting for Souza to
• 44:29
  say something. This.
• 44:32
  Is thrilling. He's he's holding the the show
• 44:35
  hostage. Since there's a link.
• 44:38
  All right, let's give you your comments while we wait.
• 44:40
  I'll see you programming Syndicate.
• 44:46
  He's programming the scale division.
• 44:47
  I have a lot of comments. You guys left a lot of good
• 44:50
  comments. We'll see how much we get
• 44:51
  through through this, but this is your reminder.
• 44:57
  Subscribe, throw a comment down there.
• 44:59
  We'll answer it maybe next week. First one at Elizabeth Talk DA
• 45:07
  is Kim. When Brent and Pat said they
• 45:09
  wanted Dave replace they took a lot of shit and didn't seem to
• 45:12
  get much respect. Sivan was brutal.
• 45:15
  I don't blame Annie for being vague.
• 45:17
  Oh yeah. There you go.
• 45:23
  All. Right at Sarah TP5 OV if you
• 45:30
  don't. Have you never watched this
• 45:31
  show? We're not required to do shit,
• 45:35
  but we might. If it's good, yeah.
• 45:39
  All right, Sorry, it's been. You're good.
• 45:41
  Also if you donate that helps get yours read.
• 45:45
  If you don't do the open this year, you're actively trying to
• 45:48
  kill CrossFit. Jesus from Christ John, calm
• 45:51
  down. You guys are such drama Queens
• 45:53
  sometimes. Plenty of people that do
• 45:55
  CrossFit never sign up for the open.
• 45:57
  The methodology lives on without the open.
• 46:03
  No, you're killing CrossFit. It's.
• 46:07
  Not like that. I'm willing to bet that person
• 46:08
  didn't know CrossFit before the Open.
• 46:12
  Maybe. But you've never done CrossFit
• 46:16
  while the Open was not a thing. And I think of the sport didn't
• 46:22
  can become what it would be, what it became.
• 46:24
  I don't think CrossFit would be what it is.
• 46:28
  I would agree with that. Oh, Magnus, I forgot.
• 46:32
  This person will also buy a Magnus or buy it open. 20 pesos.
• 46:37
  I think that's what that is. Thank God for Tyler Mike.
• 46:40
  So here's the thing, I can only use the mic on spin shows so.
• 46:45
  Sorry. Yeah, it was part of the
• 46:48
  contract. So in the meantime, you're stuck
• 46:51
  with a Bluetooth mic that sounds like crap.
• 46:56
  Let's see at Sean Sullivan. I haven't signed up yet for the
• 47:01
  Open, but I have taken my level 1 Now that the games and payouts
• 47:05
  are directly impacted by the open.
• 47:07
  I don't want to support it because I think the athletes are
• 47:11
  ungrateful for what CrossFit has done for them without the
• 47:14
  affiliates. Listen, the ones the ones who
• 47:17
  are on great idea are out already.
• 47:19
  So that's a good point the. Athletes, you are on left.
• 47:23
  It's. True.
• 47:27
  Let's see at Kevin Doyle. Oh, Doyle rules.
• 47:32
  Yeah, he's been a member for three months, so appreciate.
• 47:34
  Kevin, oh oh, Doyle. Definitely rules.
• 47:38
  With all the chat about morality going on right now, why has no
• 47:41
  one mentioned the fact that instead of building a facility
• 47:44
  to help underprivileged children, the financial backers
• 47:48
  decide to set up a league and give all the money to the
• 47:50
  athletes? Are they still building that
• 47:53
  facility or is it just tough luck on the kids?
• 47:55
  He's. Talking about world fitness
• 47:57
  project. That's how the world for this
• 47:59
  project. Starts Oh, I thought we were
• 48:01
  talking about CrossFit. I was like, what in the hell are
• 48:04
  you talking about? You're.
• 48:05
  Fine, we'll, we'll gloss over that you had no idea what was
• 48:07
  going on. We'll make fun of, we'll make
• 48:09
  fun of me for 5 minutes about it, but we'll just gloss over
• 48:12
  when you're in a different world.
• 48:14
  That's fine. That's how it works.
• 48:15
  That's fine. You know you're cool.
• 48:18
  He has a point. I don't know what they're doing
• 48:20
  with the helping the kids. I'll tell you what they're
• 48:23
  doing. Fuck them kids.
• 48:26
  There you go, Kathy. Stan also wants to know who the
• 48:28
  he was. Bad Bunny.
• 48:29
  I'm. Thinking of Scott's Tots.
• 48:32
  Wait, this is the office? This.
• 48:37
  Is a scholarship. I am not paying for your
• 48:39
  college. Yeah, let's see Riley 5782.
• 48:47
  Guys, can you actually explain why you seem to hate the World
• 48:52
  Fitness Project so much when they haven't done anything yet
• 48:57
  in terms of an actual competition?
• 48:59
  Is it just because you feel sorry for CrossFit HQ?
• 49:01
  Like I really don't get it anymore, Tyler, do you?
• 49:07
  I had why? Why do you seem to hate the
• 49:09
  World Fitness Project? For a guy who hates the World
• 49:12
  Fitness Project, I sure spent a lot of time this weekend telling
• 49:15
  them how I didn't hate them. What you do this weekend?
• 49:19
  I I had a conversation with their head of partnerships.
• 49:24
  Oh, Mr. Husband. Mr. Husband OK to just inform
• 49:28
  them we did not hate them and I've had conversations.
• 49:32
  With Ansley, Jason Ansley, and he's a great guy.
• 49:36
  I think he knows what he's doing.
• 49:38
  We're best friends not to answer.
• 49:42
  No, no, this was like months ago.
• 49:46
  I once said a word to Wilmore. Exactly, we do not hate the
• 49:52
  World Fitness project, but we also can see how it could be a
• 49:58
  bad thing for the the whole the whole thing of between CrossFit
• 50:03
  and World Fitness Project. We don't for everything that
• 50:08
  they do ever. It's just we don't hate them at
• 50:11
  all. They just seem shady and we're
• 50:15
  on edge about it. We are merely a voice of the
• 50:19
  people and of observation. That's all we are.
• 50:23
  No, no bias in here. None.
• 50:27
  Sam Jay wants to know why CrossFit fans are so odd.
• 50:31
  I get being skeptical of the World Fitness project, but why
• 50:33
  does so many people seem generally mad that there's a new
• 50:36
  opportunity for athletes to compete against the best in the
• 50:38
  world that we all get to watch? Question is, do they all watch?
• 50:45
  It's, it's very, it's everything but that that we that we've
• 50:50
  pointed out like we don't wait, we've actually said like we,
• 50:53
  we're going to watch, we're excited about.
• 50:56
  You're probably the only ones that we'll watch.
• 50:58
  Guys like you don't even understand.
• 50:59
  It's people don't watch live golf.
• 51:02
  They don't live golf. Viewership is terrible, terrible
• 51:07
  and they basically ruined these guys careers because they gave
• 51:11
  them a lot of money and they'll forever not be in the history of
• 51:15
  golf because they chose money. And I get Phil Mickelson, like
• 51:19
  his career is pretty much set in stone, but he it will not add to
• 51:23
  it. You know, you know who's adding
• 51:25
  to it? Rory McIlroy.
• 51:26
  He's adding to it because he said no, but it's not.
• 51:30
  And I know if people don't know what live golf is, it's
• 51:33
  essentially the same thing that World Fitness projects doing,
• 51:35
  it's just at a way, way lower. No, not hundreds of millions of.
• 51:39
  Dollars way, way, way, way lower. 10s of thousands.
• 51:42
  Extreme, but it's not. We don't hate them.
• 51:48
  We don't like I I want it to succeed.
• 51:51
  It's just they everything that they're doing or it appears that
• 51:55
  they're doing or how they're communicating seems in contrast
• 51:59
  with CrossFit. And so like this kind of goes
• 52:04
  into Tristan Harrison. What I see giving the best
• 52:09
  chance for world Fitness project is the mid to low level games
• 52:12
  athletes, top athletes will make less money than they do during
• 52:16
  the game season. But if I take 20th across the
• 52:18
  board plus a $10,000 contract, I get 20,000 a year.
• 52:22
  I make more blah blah blah. Like that's the problem.
• 52:25
  Like if you start watering down both.
• 52:28
  Just watered down product. Of everything and that's what
• 52:31
  happened with IndyCar racing back 25 years ago.
• 52:35
  That's what live golf is doing. Like when you start, especially
• 52:40
  when you start having exclusivity, which they've
• 52:42
  they've gotten rid of that, but like when you start splitting
• 52:46
  that splitting the field. Well, I'm saying like live golf,
• 52:50
  right? Like at first it was like you
• 52:51
  can't compete in these same things right in both.
• 52:56
  And now they they think they've come to an agreement where they
• 52:59
  can, but like regular tournaments, they're not right.
• 53:03
  Some of the best players that in live, they only show up for the
• 53:06
  four majors. And that's the only time you see
• 53:08
  him go up against the Rory Mcilroy's and the guys who said
• 53:10
  no to it. And so it hurts both when you
• 53:14
  split the league up or split the athletes up.
• 53:17
  You don't. It's not as strong with one.
• 53:21
  And I, and I'll tell you, I'll tell you like, OK, and you, you
• 53:24
  guys correct me if I'm wrong, Spin, I know you know the
• 53:26
  details and you know, I'm not great at knowing all the
• 53:28
  details. If the World Fitness project
• 53:31
  said, hey, you guys are under contract, we're going to have
• 53:34
  three events. They're going to be during the
• 53:37
  months of December and January. That's when we're doing our
• 53:39
  whole season, December and January.
• 53:41
  OK, not Christmas, but like let's say December 3rd, December
• 53:45
  17th, January 12th and then the championships, January 30th, OK,
• 53:51
  The whole season is those two months you're under contract for
• 53:55
  whatever they give them. And then and then that's it.
• 53:58
  That's it. They do everything the same,
• 54:00
  like we're not, we're just something we're trying to give
• 54:02
  another opportunity to refresh the sport.
• 54:03
  That's their season. If they were to do that at that
• 54:07
  time, I don't think any of us would have a problem and
• 54:11
  honestly I think we would cover the sport with excitement.
• 54:15
  It'd be easier 'cause that's our dead season it.
• 54:17
  Would be another right? Like it would make sense, like
• 54:20
  the only thing that's happening is rogue and Rogue's a big deal.
• 54:23
  But it's it's if you don't have it during a rogue thing, if
• 54:27
  you're in it and you're just, you know, you got to do both of
• 54:29
  them, That's what you want to do.
• 54:30
  The Chandler Smith's of the world will do better at take
• 54:33
  that back Chandler Smith's in the world fitness project.
• 54:35
  But people who don't do the world fitness project probably
• 54:38
  have an advantage at Rogue then, but we would have no issue with
• 54:43
  it at all. Nothing.
• 54:45
  None. It's only good.
• 54:47
  Everything that the athletes want it to be.
• 54:51
  It is. Instead, they put their season
• 54:56
  and they've spread it out too, right?
• 54:59
  Right. Because it's only four times
• 55:01
  they're getting together, right? Is it 3 or 4?
• 55:03
  Three. It's three times.
• 55:05
  That's it. 3, three times. You don't need that over seven
• 55:10
  months, but what else is over seven months?
• 55:14
  The CrossFit Game season you've done, you've done it exactly
• 55:17
  where it would be a battle of the two, right?
• 55:22
  Like like, and then and you told everybody it wouldn't do that.
• 55:27
  It wouldn't contrast with the CrossFit Games.
• 55:30
  And then this lays right on top of the French throwdown.
• 55:33
  Right. And you make people choose and
• 55:35
  like, and yes, people can do both, yes.
• 55:39
  We'll see. But.
• 55:41
  But you have you have Adler saying I can't do everything.
• 55:43
  Well, I'm saying you have. People Down's the only one who's
• 55:46
  said that he doesn't. Feel worried about it?
• 55:48
  He's the only one to learn how to adjust.
• 55:50
  They're all saying, they're all saying they are, but Down's the
• 55:54
  only one who's not who said there's talked publicly saying
• 55:57
  he's not concerned about it. Everybody else is.
• 55:59
  And he just said I'm just gonna do law.
• 56:01
  I'm. Just gonna do it all.
• 56:02
  Like that's what Down's always said.
• 56:03
  But I'm saying one, you're, if you got it, great, go do it.
• 56:09
  But two, somebody's going to miss because you're hurt or
• 56:13
  you're broken down from overdoing something.
• 56:16
  It's like it's going to happen, right?
• 56:19
  And then three, I just think, I just think people are being dumb
• 56:28
  about it. Like like I really do.
• 56:30
  I just don't then then spend you say this all the time and like
• 56:34
  again, I hope it works out for everybody, but it's, it's, it's
• 56:37
  I'm so convinced that it's not going to.
• 56:40
  And then if it does, then then we're all wrong.
• 56:43
  And then, and then when it does work, say everything's great and
• 56:46
  it does work and nothing happens and every, it's just another
• 56:49
  opportunity, right? When that happens, all three of
• 56:53
  us will be like, yeah, y'all were right.
• 56:55
  We were wrong. We shouldn't have been so
• 56:57
  pessimistic about it until that moment.
• 57:00
  I feel like the burden of proof lies with them.
• 57:04
  Yeah. I mean, they got to they've got
• 57:06
  to run a successful competition three times.
• 57:10
  They have to, in my opinion, not overstep or or tear apart what's
• 57:17
  already there in my opinion. And like right now they're going
• 57:22
  up against, I mean, French throne athletes have to make a
• 57:26
  decision then they're going to come back if they want to do the
• 57:30
  games are going to come back less than a month later and do
• 57:33
  tour event 2. Yes, which is it's it's
• 57:39
  interesting because I want to on the piece about getting paid.
• 57:42
  It's a little bit of a tangent, but you're now seeing social
• 57:48
  media posts, which is part of their contract, right?
• 57:50
  Like we know they have to do a post.
• 57:53
  They got to do stories throughout the year and they've
• 57:55
  all shared the little highlight reel of Indianapolis.
• 57:59
  They've now started talking about sign up for the community
• 58:02
  divisions. Yeah, there's there's rumblings
• 58:06
  in the CrossFit area that people are pissed that athletes may be
• 58:11
  getting paid to do promote the Open.
• 58:17
  Every single one. Every single one of the World
• 58:20
  Fitness people have gotten paid to promote the damn thing that
• 58:24
  they're saying that people shouldn't be like, that's wrong
• 58:27
  to be done. This is saying a two way St.
• 58:29
  spin. It's one way.
• 58:31
  It's like, I think Rebecca Fusile had an ad, right?
• 58:36
  She she put hashtag ad. So what she owns a freaking
• 58:40
  affiliate. She's signed up for the open.
• 58:43
  If CrossFit wants to advertise and and and use their money to
• 58:47
  promote it that way, why not? That's sad though, like the fact
• 58:51
  that we have to pay people to promote the open, like that's
• 58:54
  sad on the athletes part. No on on the no, it's I think
• 58:58
  it's fine, but that's sad that the athletes need to be paid to
• 59:03
  promote the Open. I don't know if it's they need
• 59:05
  to. That it's even a thing spin.
• 59:10
  Did Rich Fair? Did he put hashtag ad on his?
• 59:14
  No, I don't. You play a hashtag.
• 59:15
  That's what I'm talking about. You.
• 59:16
  Play a hashtag CrossFit hashtag. I'm in.
• 59:19
  That shit fired me up more than any other real period.
• 59:25
  That was a good one. No, I, I just, I think it's just
• 59:29
  hypocritical if you're going to start saying that, oh, how, how
• 59:32
  dare athletes get paid to promote the CrossFit open.
• 59:36
  And I mean, John has a valid point, but if that's how
• 59:41
  CrossFit thinks that they need to, you know, their best way of,
• 59:43
  of advertising the open this year, so be it.
• 59:47
  You can't if you're in the camp of saying that and criticizing
• 59:51
  it, yet you will have an athlete, you're an agent,
• 59:54
  whoever that's criticizing that. And your athletes are getting
• 59:59
  paid and they're posting about World Fitness Project.
• 1:00:01
  No, you, you need to look at yourself in the mirror and say
• 1:00:07
  oh. I'm an idiot.
• 1:00:09
  Yeah, I'm doing. I'm mad.
• 1:00:11
  I should be mad at my athletes and myself for signing a
• 1:00:13
  contract. So there you go.
• 1:00:18
  Back on topic at Mel Jo 6 BG, all I got to say is JY is right
• 1:00:24
  about ignition. It's straight fire.
• 1:00:27
  That's right. Thank you, Mel.
• 1:00:29
  At. Did you look at song drops man?
• 1:00:33
  I have not sorry at Myeong Wang Wong.
• 1:00:36
  Myeong Wong I don't know, just registered for the open.
• 1:00:40
  Thanks for the show. I believe in the methodology.
• 1:00:44
  Atta girl. Spank.
• 1:00:47
  You get her name right man. Come on.
• 1:00:49
  You don't know if it's a guy or a girl.
• 1:00:51
  Meong meong, meong you. Know whatever you are.
• 1:00:54
  At Lucky Camera Straps, I never think, I don't think I've ever
• 1:00:57
  seen Lucky Camera Straps comment on ours so.
• 1:01:00
  Welcome. Yeah, I was waiting to sign up
• 1:01:03
  for the Open to see if I can still move my legs after a 21
• 1:01:06
  kilometer Spartan Race next week.
• 1:01:09
  You guys convinced me to Sign up today.
• 1:01:12
  Heck yeah. So you can use the QR code right
• 1:01:15
  up there and do that. Listen, we're all going to hit a
• 1:01:18
  bunt on one of these workouts. It's OK to hit a bunt on one.
• 1:01:22
  Just make sure you're hitting at least something on each one.
• 1:01:25
  I'm going to strike out on one of the workouts.
• 1:01:27
  I know, I know, I, I understand that.
• 1:01:29
  I, I, I, I'm, I'm ready for it, but it feels wrong not to swing,
• 1:01:35
  you know? Does feel wrong?
• 1:01:37
  I'm going to swing and you know, sometimes I'll hit it.
• 1:01:41
  Look, John. John get get them, get it,
• 1:01:43
  Harry, we'd rather sponsor John's wiggly Get it, get it all
• 1:01:46
  to this project. Listen Harry give e-mail me or
• 1:01:50
  get to spin or get Instagram. Yeah, yeah, DM.
• 1:01:54
  Me why didn't to his DMS there? Yeah, yeah, we.
• 1:01:57
  Sweet. Talk only taking money I'm just
• 1:02:00
  just before. John, you're such a good
• 1:02:02
  salesman. That's the only thing that we
• 1:02:04
  need, cash. We don't need anything else.
• 1:02:09
  I'm trying to pay for like flights and stuff right now.
• 1:02:11
  That's what like it's, it's about it's, you know, getting
• 1:02:15
  that stuff set up. There you go.
• 1:02:18
  All right, our last one from our Canadian friend Travis Brawl.
• 1:02:26
  The founding fathers are rolling in their grave listening to
• 1:02:29
  three red blooded Americans shout in the town square that
• 1:02:32
  private citizens owe something to private business and not
• 1:02:36
  giving over their hard earned money is selfish.
• 1:02:39
  These three are Kamala voters, but Travis is in for the open.
• 1:02:47
  I understand, but we're not asking you to support HQ even
• 1:02:54
  though it's good. I know, but also we are asking
• 1:02:58
  you to support the open. Yes.
• 1:03:02
  I did like. I did like Max's long winded
• 1:03:07
  story on that one. Max L Hodge about.
• 1:03:10
  He's he's going to stay in and fight, yeah, versus walk away.
• 1:03:14
  I get it. DSD, Yeah.
• 1:03:15
  I got it. Well, there you go.
• 1:03:17
  They. Will set you up a booth though
• 1:03:19
  and stuff like that. I'm sorry, Spin.
• 1:03:20
  We're busy that week like. It's unfortunate moving on.
• 1:03:28
  I'm out. Well, I'm not out, but Pat
• 1:03:31
  Veldner's out. Chandler Smith, they out.
• 1:03:33
  Yellow Host is out. Elisa Fuliano's out.
• 1:03:36
  Andy Thoris daughter's out. Do you like that they're
• 1:03:42
  announcing that they're they're they're out or should they stay
• 1:03:46
  quiet? Where would you be on the
• 1:03:49
  spectrum if you? Were if you were out.
• 1:03:52
  If you were a Chandler Smith, you're you're, you're a games
• 1:03:55
  level athlete. That's a great question.
• 1:03:59
  You feel the way they do, like you cannot compete.
• 1:04:02
  Would you feel the need to speak out or would you just go quietly
• 1:04:10
  and just not register Tyler? I would take a book out of
• 1:04:15
  Michael or a page of the Michael Scott playbook and you know,
• 1:04:19
  orange means bad, don't talk about it.
• 1:04:22
  Green means go ahead and shut up about it.
• 1:04:26
  I would not fucking talk about it.
• 1:04:29
  Just leave. That's my thing is like you're
• 1:04:31
  obviously like why you got a post about everything,
• 1:04:36
  everything you do. I I don't make a lot of posts.
• 1:04:38
  I don't think for Instagram 1st and never have never will.
• 1:04:42
  It's just not it doesn't make sense to me.
• 1:04:43
  I if I want to show you guys something most of the time like
• 1:04:47
  that Brian, that art, that article cover that I made.
• 1:04:54
  Oh. I just thought it was funny.
• 1:04:56
  Is. That how you do it.
• 1:04:57
  Is that how you would do it announcing?
• 1:04:59
  A magazine. I just do goofy shit.
• 1:05:02
  And you do a magazine that says I'm.
• 1:05:04
  Yeah. I would bury it in some weird
• 1:05:07
  fucking reel that nobody would understand.
• 1:05:10
  No, I just don't get it. Like Lee, just keep to your damn
• 1:05:14
  self the only reason you're doing it.
• 1:05:16
  And there's people who are like, wow, this is not a call for
• 1:05:19
  everybody else to to leave the open.
• 1:05:22
  It is. That's exactly what it is.
• 1:05:25
  And you saying, well I I'm not judging you.
• 1:05:27
  You are though. If you're making a post, you're
• 1:05:31
  making a judgment call that you think everyone else should do
• 1:05:33
  this. Yep, I agree and I think the
• 1:05:40
  most lying statement ever is I won't judge anybody if you
• 1:05:46
  decide to do the open, it's just not for me.
• 1:05:49
  Like that one? That one keeps bothering me so
• 1:05:52
  much. Dude, and they're all saying it.
• 1:05:54
  They're all saying it like it's, it's, it's, it's so dumb.
• 1:05:58
  I, I'm, I'm with Tyler. I I think if I was a games
• 1:06:03
  athlete and I'm, and I'm not going to do the open for, for,
• 1:06:06
  you know, whatever reasons, right?
• 1:06:09
  I just wouldn't say anything until somebody asked me.
• 1:06:12
  And if somebody asked me, I wouldn't lie about it, but I, I
• 1:06:16
  would just be like, I'm probably not going to do it this year.
• 1:06:19
  I just, I just don't want to all the stuff that went down.
• 1:06:23
  I'm just not about it. That's it.
• 1:06:25
  Did you? See, did you see dense updates?
• 1:06:29
  I think it was today, this morning, she talked about Brock,
• 1:06:34
  David's daughter and supposedly he had told athletes to, to make
• 1:06:39
  it public and that, you know, the the more big name athletes,
• 1:06:43
  the rest will fall in line. Oh yeah, that's fucking gross.
• 1:06:48
  So it was. It was in.
• 1:06:49
  You're talking about Brooks Laic, right?
• 1:06:52
  Leish, Yeah. Brooks Brooks, David's daughter
• 1:06:55
  Like. David's daughter.
• 1:06:56
  No, I get. It.
• 1:06:57
  I'm just Brooks the people. Actually know who we're talking
• 1:07:00
  about, though. You know, I just want to.
• 1:07:01
  Make Brooks Leish. Yeah, yeah.
• 1:07:03
  I think I can help with. This damn pan.
• 1:07:05
  Situation. Ex hockey gang.
• 1:07:09
  Bang, dude, I'm not going to talk about that, that so he was
• 1:07:15
  in people. People need to understand this.
• 1:07:17
  So he was in a PFAA meeting when he said that, right?
• 1:07:21
  That's that. That's the rumor, yes.
• 1:07:23
  Number one, why are you at a PFAA meeting?
• 1:07:25
  You've never been a professional fitness athlete.
• 1:07:29
  You're just some dude. Yeah, you're I guarantee you
• 1:07:33
  you're not that fit no how. I actually think he's pretty
• 1:07:37
  fit, yeah. I don't believe it.
• 1:07:39
  I if I I bet I could beat his ass and the the if I beat your
• 1:07:43
  ass, you're not. Fighting are two different
• 1:07:44
  things. No I'm talking about beat his
• 1:07:46
  ass in fitness everyday versus Taylor and I can't beat him in
• 1:07:49
  anything fitness wise. I'm just saying fight.
• 1:07:52
  Fighting and fitness are two different things.
• 1:07:55
  I think I I beat his ass fitness wise, and if I'm beating your
• 1:07:58
  ass fitness wise, you ain't fit. Yeah, because then you're not as
• 1:08:02
  fit as I am. That's not You're not very fit
• 1:08:04
  then. So he's.
• 1:08:08
  Speaking of Speaking of not fit, Grant is in Mexico in a taxi.
• 1:08:13
  Thanks, He's. So hyped to go against you.
• 1:08:17
  I don't know what you did to this man, but.
• 1:08:19
  You're I beat I beat him in the the the proven throwdown.
• 1:08:22
  That's what did it for him. He's got a picture of you on his
• 1:08:25
  mirror that he looks at every day to torture himself.
• 1:08:28
  Yes, he's running up mountains and saying, Brian, that's what
• 1:08:32
  he's doing. But so, so he's in a PFAA
• 1:08:36
  meeting for whatever fucking reason, and then he says that to
• 1:08:40
  the leadership. Just do it.
• 1:08:42
  Everyone else will follow suit. AKA we have to convince people
• 1:08:46
  that this is the right thing to do or we just have to peer
• 1:08:49
  pressure them, bully them. Big Dick like this is such like
• 1:08:52
  a noble I'm so cool move. It's such AI fucking hated you
• 1:08:57
  in high school. I hated people like that in high
• 1:09:00
  school. You know who the coolest son of
• 1:09:02
  a bitch is? Is Grace Gracie Walton, who's
• 1:09:06
  like. Gracie Walton is pretty cool.
• 1:09:07
  Because what he's doing is he's praying on all the younger
• 1:09:11
  athletes, like I'm going to pick on somebody right now.
• 1:09:14
  Claudia Gluck, she's not made it to like one year at the game.
• 1:09:17
  Great one European young woman rookie last year.
• 1:09:21
  So like 22 or 23. Great, great example.
• 1:09:24
  Go. Yeah, so he's he.
• 1:09:27
  Gracie said that her experience at the games was pretty good,
• 1:09:30
  and she didn't really understand why everybody was bitching all
• 1:09:32
  the time. This dude is basically
• 1:09:35
  gaslighting people like Claudia Gluck to be like, no, this is a
• 1:09:38
  really bad deal. Like if you don't stand with us,
• 1:09:40
  like you're just enabling people who are assholes and want to try
• 1:09:43
  to kill you. I mean, I think that's.
• 1:09:45
  What, and like making her seem like making her experience
• 1:09:48
  maybe, man, like, like, you know, eight months removed from
• 1:09:52
  it, think, man, it wasn't great. And maybe it was.
• 1:09:55
  But like, just because she's getting told a million things
• 1:09:58
  right, you know? Yeah.
• 1:09:59
  And it's not not offense, no offense to her, but you know,
• 1:10:02
  people are impressionable. Well, Gracie did the right
• 1:10:06
  thing. She looked at the event and she
• 1:10:08
  said, you know what? I I thought it was pretty good.
• 1:10:11
  You know who's else is good? Like this is Hattie, Hattie
• 1:10:14
  Kanye. She got on Sevons and she was
• 1:10:18
  like, OK, like I kind of get some of what they're trying to
• 1:10:20
  get at. But then like, my experience
• 1:10:21
  wasn't so bad. Like different shit like that.
• 1:10:23
  And it's like she's making her own assessment.
• 1:10:26
  She's just not falling in line. Mr. Brooke or whatever the fuck
• 1:10:30
  your name is. That's AI Fucking hate dudes
• 1:10:34
  like that. Yeah, Tristan Patrick can
• 1:10:38
  confirm. He was in the PFA meeting when
• 1:10:40
  he said that. So thanks.
• 1:10:42
  He was. He was.
• 1:10:44
  The second, The second you think that you have influence on
• 1:10:48
  people that you don't know. Like it's not it, man.
• 1:10:54
  Like you don't you don't I, I, I think all the time.
• 1:10:57
  Like I can't believe how many people listen to us because half
• 1:11:02
  the time I don't know what I'm talking about and the and the
• 1:11:05
  other time when I do know what I'm talking about, I'm cocky as
• 1:11:09
  all get out about it like it's. It is your mountain, John.
• 1:11:12
  Right, right. But, but like these are like,
• 1:11:15
  how many times would say like, and this is just my opinion.
• 1:11:18
  It doesn't have to be anybody else's opinion.
• 1:11:20
  This is just what I think, right?
• 1:11:22
  Or, or this is how I think the athlete is thinking or This is
• 1:11:25
  why they're doing this. It's not, it's not.
• 1:11:28
  I don't think, oh, if I say this, then people will think
• 1:11:32
  this and then they'll start not liking this person.
• 1:11:34
  So many people don't. So many people want to know what
• 1:11:37
  other or thinking before they make that decision.
• 1:11:39
  And that was my point last week of if you're going to do the
• 1:11:43
  open, sign up now because I think there are people that are
• 1:11:46
  like, well, the numbers are low, so obviously I shouldn't do the
• 1:11:50
  open with everybody else. Like.
• 1:11:52
  People want to knowing you see what the PFAA is done like
• 1:11:56
  they've reached out to get like to check and make sure what
• 1:12:00
  others think about certain things before they go public
• 1:12:03
  with it. And so like I, I think a lot of
• 1:12:07
  people do that. Siberian Kelly can spin lean
• 1:12:12
  back so I can see a shirt. The new Hiller fit shirt from
• 1:12:16
  Vindicate. Nice.
• 1:12:18
  Melanie Hodge When is Tia announcing she's out?
• 1:12:22
  You know, if she does, if she does, then I think she's want
• 1:12:26
  about it the right way. You know who's You know who's
• 1:12:28
  gone? I think she'll sign up.
• 1:12:29
  I think she'll sign up for the Open.
• 1:12:31
  Oh, I do too. I I, Yeah, I think she's just,
• 1:12:34
  she's just doing things. I don't even.
• 1:12:36
  Like she's obviously showing that she's doing a lot of high
• 1:12:38
  rocks training. She.
• 1:12:40
  Might not. Even know what what, what if?
• 1:12:41
  She's doing the high rocks training.
• 1:12:42
  Then she just still whoops everybody like she will.
• 1:12:47
  I I put my money on Tia never shits on CrossFit like she'll
• 1:12:55
  never, she'll never like turn her back on them.
• 1:12:57
  No, I, I think if, if you look at any training camp, I think
• 1:13:01
  Proven's probably the one who's been the most vocal 4 cross, 4
• 1:13:05
  CrossFit. They're doing well.
• 1:13:08
  All their athletes have been signing up like they're the ones
• 1:13:12
  that probably, I mean them and Brute.
• 1:13:14
  Which, which, you know, if you think about those are really the
• 1:13:17
  only two training camps there are.
• 1:13:19
  Anymore. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 1:13:22
  I'll say I said this the other night in a text thread with you
• 1:13:26
  guys, and I'll say it here. Look at the people who are doing
• 1:13:29
  this, the deep, the big I'm Outers and then compare them to
• 1:13:34
  the ones who are the not I'm outers.
• 1:13:36
  And I won't even say like the ones who are the I'm inners,
• 1:13:40
  just the I'm I'm outers. So the I'm outers.
• 1:13:43
  These are all people. I think I've not looked hard,
• 1:13:47
  but I've looked pretty like I've looked at a lot of them.
• 1:13:51
  And these are all people who I think had careers and are now no
• 1:13:55
  longer as cool as they thought they were or wanted to be.
• 1:13:59
  Or they're people who should have retired and are just
• 1:14:02
  hanging on. Look at people on the other end,
• 1:14:06
  the I'm Inners, Scott Panczyk, even Ben Smith, Rich.
• 1:14:13
  Has Ben said he's in? I've not seen that one.
• 1:14:15
  I haven't, but at least he's not saying shit.
• 1:14:19
  Like I'd rather not say shit than piss on everything.
• 1:14:22
  I'm sure he says he's in. I can't help but notice that
• 1:14:28
  there's a trend with those who are the I'm outers and there's a
• 1:14:31
  trend with the those who are either not saying or are saying
• 1:14:34
  that they're in. Ben said it in his story.
• 1:14:40
  There you go. Yeah, yeah.
• 1:14:43
  Guys, I don't look at Mayhem as a training camp.
• 1:14:45
  Mayhem is like a people. They're a machine.
• 1:14:49
  Yeah, like I, I, no, I, I seriously, I don't like think of
• 1:14:52
  them as a training camp. I think of like it's, they're
• 1:14:55
  just, they're almost too big to be a training camp.
• 1:14:57
  They're just mayhem in my, in my head.
• 1:15:00
  I get it, their training camp. But a training camp, I'm
• 1:15:03
  thinking of like 3 to 8 athletes that you send to the games every
• 1:15:08
  year. I like, I just don't even think
• 1:15:10
  about making them. They're just, they're just,
• 1:15:12
  they're a clan like. Is this true Ben?
• 1:15:17
  Ben reposted Rich's video and said I mean I just don't have
• 1:15:20
  cool video. That's amazing.
• 1:15:24
  That's. Amazing, that's amazing map
• 1:15:27
  lady. Somebody make Ben a video please
• 1:15:30
  Sir, you. Got map lady, thank you for the
• 1:15:33
  $5. I just signed up for my second
• 1:15:35
  open in 12 years. The show CrossFit HQ.
• 1:15:38
  How influential you all are so JY could stay cocky.
• 1:15:42
  Thank you, Matt Play. I think a lot of people are
• 1:15:43
  going to be upset about that, but you?
• 1:15:45
  That's what this is all for. I appreciate it.
• 1:15:48
  Yeah, Barry Mccoctor. How long before Ariel is out?
• 1:15:54
  She's liking all of the I'm Out posts.
• 1:15:56
  I think she's next. Is that the only post that she's
• 1:16:00
  liking? She might be liking the IMN post
• 1:16:02
  too, you just don't see those. Just might be a.
• 1:16:07
  How do we need to make? A.
• 1:16:08
  It wouldn't. She was.
• 1:16:09
  She was early on saying that she wasn't sure what she was doing
• 1:16:12
  so it would not be a surprise. No, it would not surprise me.
• 1:16:15
  I also think there's a chance that she'll still do it, but I I
• 1:16:21
  got, I can't speak for her, but like I I don't even think that
• 1:16:25
  she knows she's just going to feel it out the Friday that or
• 1:16:29
  Thursday they announce it it. Could be I need to bring back
• 1:16:32
  the The Hunger Games post where every everybody says I'm out and
• 1:16:39
  they're just their graphic pops up on the wall.
• 1:16:42
  What if let's Fast forward like 2 years?
• 1:16:46
  Let's say World Fitness Project runs out of money and there's
• 1:16:49
  nothing there and the only thing left is CrossFit Games.
• 1:16:53
  Do the fans welcome? No.
• 1:16:56
  Anybody that was out back or are they now the villains?
• 1:17:00
  Well, OK, here, here's, here's OK.
• 1:17:05
  The people that are with the I'm Outers, the Audis, that's what I
• 1:17:09
  like to call them, the people that are with the Audis.
• 1:17:12
  That's what they call them. They.
• 1:17:14
  Heavy Sevy has an Audi. Yeah, there we go.
• 1:17:16
  I'm sure he does. They they're going to be fans of
• 1:17:21
  those people no matter what. Because if they like like
• 1:17:25
  whatever they say with their post and they're like, I agree
• 1:17:28
  100%. I'm all on board.
• 1:17:30
  I voted for Kamala too, right? Like if, whenever they like
• 1:17:33
  that, I just think they're going to follow whatever they do.
• 1:17:37
  Like they're fans of them as the peep of the people.
• 1:17:39
  Like, you know, if you're a Valner fan, like you're just a
• 1:17:42
  fan of Pat, right? So whatever Pat does, you're
• 1:17:46
  going to follow Pat. But do you think that Veldner's
• 1:17:49
  lost fans and just using him as an example?
• 1:17:52
  No, for sure. You've lost fans for sure, but I
• 1:17:55
  think you're always going to have a fan base that supports
• 1:17:58
  you just because they like you as the person versus CrossFit,
• 1:18:02
  right? And then like, I don't think it,
• 1:18:05
  I don't think like if Veldner came back, which you know, he's
• 1:18:08
  on the edge of retiring anyway, but like we'll just use him
• 1:18:11
  because he's the biggest name. If he came back, I don't think
• 1:18:14
  he would be booed like if he did 2026 CrossFit games.
• 1:18:18
  I don't, I don't think anybody will be hated the way Ricky was
• 1:18:21
  hated. I, I, I just don't, I, I don't
• 1:18:25
  think he'll be booed. I just think, I think people
• 1:18:27
  still clap for him, but he might have, you know, like 100,000 or
• 1:18:31
  50,000 less Instagram followers. Like that's like that's it.
• 1:18:35
  I don't think you actually see it on the field or anything, you
• 1:18:40
  know what I mean? We're like, we're not going to
• 1:18:41
  be fans. I think you might be right if it
• 1:18:45
  was next year. I wonder if it goes for 2-3
• 1:18:49
  years and it becomes a bigger rift and then it goes away.
• 1:18:55
  I had to be, I'm sorry. But OK, OK, like then I think of
• 1:18:58
  like, I think of people like Danny Spiegel, like she just has
• 1:19:01
  a following that follows her. Right.
• 1:19:04
  But they're they're going to like it.
• 1:19:05
  But then the people, will there be some people that do Boo?
• 1:19:09
  Like, I don't think so. I, I really don't, I really
• 1:19:12
  don't. No, no, I don't think they'll be
• 1:19:14
  like welcomed back, but I don't think they'll be booed and I and
• 1:19:17
  I think they're still going to have their fan base that just
• 1:19:20
  likes them for them. Tyler, do you agree?
• 1:19:24
  Yes. Or would you think that somebody
• 1:19:27
  would if, if in three years it, it goes away and now they come
• 1:19:30
  back to CrossFit, right like. I think, do I think what I think
• 1:19:37
  they'll be let back in? I think it's.
• 1:19:39
  No, I think no, that that, yeah, I think that happens.
• 1:19:40
  But do the fans not welcome them back?
• 1:19:45
  Kind of like Ricky was initially like right early on, everybody's
• 1:19:49
  like, Boo, Ricky, go away, we don't like you.
• 1:19:51
  And then they did. They shifted.
• 1:19:53
  Hell most of the Ogs, the most of the OG outers will be too
• 1:20:00
  old. They won't come back.
• 1:20:03
  I don't think. I think you, I don't, I don't
• 1:20:05
  think you would have hardly any of them.
• 1:20:07
  I agree with what Zane is saying also.
• 1:20:12
  Yeah, I could see that. Like, like it doesn't, it
• 1:20:14
  doesn't run that deep. Now you know what did run deep?
• 1:20:18
  Like where we like to think that we're a clean sport and like the
• 1:20:23
  people at the top are not on any on PEDs.
• 1:20:28
  And Ricky was the first name that was and honestly still the
• 1:20:32
  only name that was big that popped and like gave us a bad
• 1:20:38
  gave CrossFit a bad name. Like like people hated that
• 1:20:42
  people hated Ricky and like a like, and I get it.
• 1:20:46
  Rick and Travis still hates him, right?
• 1:20:49
  Like, 'cause like he cheated, he's forever tainted like that.
• 1:20:53
  That hits people like that. I think I was one of the first
• 1:20:57
  ones that were like, I love the redemption arc.
• 1:20:59
  I think you can give a man a second chance.
• 1:21:00
  And I love that he came back and he's fitter than ever.
• 1:21:03
  And I think most people have worked their way around to that
• 1:21:05
  train, right? But when he first came back or
• 1:21:09
  the couple years that were right after, I don't think we've ever
• 1:21:14
  seen somebody that was hated as much as Ricky was.
• 1:21:17
  And I don't think we, I don't honestly don't think we will
• 1:21:19
  again, unless there's like an in Lance Armstrong situation.
• 1:21:22
  Lee, 49, for the Super sticker. Thank you.
• 1:21:25
  Thank you. Yeah.
• 1:21:26
  Normally she's in the comments. I I think that's a good, good
• 1:21:30
  point, John. I think Ricky, like, yeah, if
• 1:21:34
  anything, like it is very much how much have you done for me
• 1:21:37
  lately in CrossFit? And if they win and are cool,
• 1:21:40
  that's what they'll be. Well, I, I think this is a lot
• 1:21:45
  of the case. Dense updates.
• 1:21:47
  I only booed once. I am not proud of it, but it
• 1:21:50
  felt necessary in the moment. I feel like that's a lot of the
• 1:21:52
  athletes. There are a lot of the fans,
• 1:21:56
  right? Like they may Boo, but they're
• 1:21:58
  going to be like, I shouldn't have done that.
• 1:22:00
  I should welcome in everybody but Barry Mccock.
• 1:22:03
  They'll say it, they'll say it one time, and then they'll be
• 1:22:05
  like, now we're done. But we talk about
• 1:22:09
  professionalization of the sport.
• 1:22:12
  We need a sport, we need more booing.
• 1:22:16
  If you want to be a true sport and have like people really
• 1:22:20
  rooting for athletes, there's booing.
• 1:22:24
  Didn't people Boo at Taylor last year at Syndicate?
• 1:22:29
  I don't think so. I think there was a couple.
• 1:22:31
  I feel like there was some there might.
• 1:22:33
  Have been a few but I don't I doubt it was.
• 1:22:36
  No, I agree wholeheartedly. I think we need more booing.
• 1:22:39
  I think people need to it needs to run deep.
• 1:22:41
  I think people should care about people as individuals enough
• 1:22:46
  where it hurts you and things don't go their way right the way
• 1:22:49
  we do teams. Like it's funny, it's crazy.
• 1:22:52
  It's crazy. People think I'm mean on this
• 1:22:56
  show to athletes. They think I'm mean.
• 1:23:00
  I there is nothing that I have said that y'all don't say with
• 1:23:04
  your friends right when you watch CrossFit or if it versus
• 1:23:08
  people that you like or. Anything that you.
• 1:23:09
  Need right, like they're they're like not even close, not even
• 1:23:14
  close. And it's crazy that you think I
• 1:23:18
  mean to athletes when like and I I that's what I'm saying.
• 1:23:23
  I agree. I think we need more mean.
• 1:23:25
  I think we need more care about people as individuals.
• 1:23:30
  I mean, booing is the same thing of.
• 1:23:32
  Hopper doesn't count. Yeah, I mean the same thing.
• 1:23:37
  Like if you want to be a real quote, UN quote, real sport
• 1:23:40
  professionalized, you've got to be able to handle US three guys
• 1:23:47
  doing an opinion to show where we voice our opinion and rank
• 1:23:50
  athletes and talk about their performances and not get upset
• 1:23:53
  that we say that somebody was trash or we thought they should
• 1:23:57
  have done better like. Or that they're don't watch,
• 1:24:03
  don't watch. Go watch any NFL show or or NBA
• 1:24:08
  or college basketball even like that's I mean there's 10s
• 1:24:13
  hundreds of shows that do that and you don't think LeBron gets
• 1:24:18
  like LeBron doesn't give 2 shits if a show has.
• 1:24:22
  Made millions of dollars off of just saying LeBron sucks every
• 1:24:25
  day. I mean like.
• 1:24:30
  Somebody had to say it. You.
• 1:24:31
  Got to get past that right? Like.
• 1:24:33
  Stop. So I don't know, moving on.
• 1:24:38
  I've made millions of dollars saying Tyler Christopher is
• 1:24:41
  never going to make it to the team so.
• 1:24:43
  You. You have made millions of yen
• 1:24:47
  saying that, Tyler Christopher. That's true.
• 1:24:50
  You guys want to play a new game?
• 1:24:53
  Let's do it dude. I'm so excited.
• 1:24:55
  I took a bath today and had a glass of mobile team.
• 1:24:58
  Oh yeah, doing, doing research. I'll fire it.
• 1:25:02
  Up now doing no doing research. I'm like, I'm going to be in
• 1:25:04
  here for a while. Give me one second get my file.
• 1:25:09
  To prepare for this, I'm super excited.
• 1:25:13
  I employed the help of ChatGPT for this today.
• 1:25:16
  Oh. My gosh.
• 1:25:18
  I did all the. Work.
• 1:25:19
  Just do something but. No, I really did it.
• 1:25:23
  I just had it find all the information that I wanted first.
• 1:25:25
  But I asked I, I, I was like thinking of stuff and I was
• 1:25:29
  like, what's this? And then it would tell me.
• 1:25:31
  So it just made it faster. OK.
• 1:25:35
  But it's all me. It's all you.
• 1:25:37
  Are you ready? All right, we're doing an open
• 1:25:39
  draft. So this one, we are going to
• 1:25:44
  draft our favorite 5 open workouts.
• 1:25:51
  I love that Berry still keeps the hope alive on this one.
• 1:25:55
  And we're gone from that, man. I've had a baby.
• 1:25:59
  Not Berry, man, he ain't so. Listen listen y'all don't know
• 1:26:06
  what living is if you have not done this.
• 1:26:08
  I'm just telling you right now, man.
• 1:26:13
  All right, the idea of the game is we're going to draft like a
• 1:26:17
  snake, draft like you're doing fantasy football or whatever,
• 1:26:21
  and we're going to pick our favorite open workouts.
• 1:26:24
  Now, the caveat is they cannot repeat, just like fantasy
• 1:26:29
  football, you can't pick the same people, can't pick the same
• 1:26:31
  workouts. And we're going to do our best
• 1:26:36
  to actually like when we look at our five workouts that they're
• 1:26:39
  not all the same. It'll be like what an open, what
• 1:26:43
  an open it'd look like. Do you have a mix of movements?
• 1:26:48
  Well balanced. That could be done, yes.
• 1:26:52
  How do we want to decide the order I?
• 1:26:54
  Don't know, comment down below. First person to comment who
• 1:26:57
  should go first will get to go 1st and then second.
• 1:26:59
  OK, let's see it. That's fine.
• 1:27:05
  It's just snake draft after that.
• 1:27:07
  Snake draft? Yeah, Tyler's first.
• 1:27:09
  Tyler's first. Yeah.
• 1:27:11
  Thanks, Kelly. Spin sucking.
• 1:27:13
  All right, let's go, I got. John gets.
• 1:27:15
  The nail. Hey, hey, I got the snake.
• 1:27:18
  I got the snake. I'm good with that.
• 1:27:20
  Man, sometimes that's better. Yeah.
• 1:27:21
  All right, let's move this around here.
• 1:27:23
  I got. To figure out which one I like
• 1:27:25
  the best. All right, Tyler, any hope it
• 1:27:29
  worked out? Let's see here I got to find my
• 1:27:34
  workout that I wanted to do Hold on, let's go with.
• 1:27:41
  I know this one's for certain 15.4 which was.
• 1:27:47
  What is that? Jenner, Tyler. 13 minute AMRAP
• 1:27:50
  3691215 cleaning jerks at 185 handstand push ups that was.
• 1:28:01
  You would pick a handstand push up workout.
• 1:28:03
  That was, that was the S. Josh Bridges and yes, Scott
• 1:28:07
  Panchick. Yeah, yeah, the 333639 and then
• 1:28:13
  it was 6/12, 6:15, 6/18. It were really funky on the
• 1:28:18
  numbers. Also had the line.
• 1:28:23
  Oh yeah, he. Had the line, yeah.
• 1:28:26
  I liked a lot of the handstand push up workouts, but I didn't
• 1:28:28
  pick some of them because of the line and I think the line messes
• 1:28:33
  up that completely. Did mess me up so.
• 1:28:36
  How How about the forearm measurement?
• 1:28:39
  Span when this is done, I is it is it within your capabilities
• 1:28:45
  to like make a real out of these so we could do a poll on
• 1:28:49
  Instagram who had the best draft?
• 1:28:51
  Good try. Because people aren't going to
• 1:28:54
  know what these are, right? Like once they're all listed
• 1:28:56
  out. My first one, it's been a repeat
• 1:29:01
  14 point 423.1 mainly because it's the most well-rounded
• 1:29:09
  workout that we've seen. That's the 60 calorie row, 50
• 1:29:12
  toes to bar, 40 wall ball shots, 30 cleans and 20 muscle UPS in
• 1:29:17
  14 minutes. That one's hard, 'cause like so
• 1:29:22
  'cause we're kind of playing under the rules that we have a
• 1:29:24
  5. Are we playing under the rules
• 1:29:26
  that we have A5 workout open or is it three with two extras?
• 1:29:29
  No five week. Five week open, Yeah.
• 1:29:32
  And so the the struggle with 13.1 is, and This is why I
• 1:29:35
  didn't pick the whatever the 55 deadlifts, 55 wall balls and
• 1:29:40
  calorie row and handstand push ups.
• 1:29:42
  Is that like it just takes so many pieces out?
• 1:29:45
  Hey, this is done in 2014 during the five week open.
• 1:29:48
  We did it. I don't know, you can always
• 1:29:51
  just do 7 minutes of burpees. Just make that one.
• 1:29:57
  Yeah, that's right, John, Number one pick.
• 1:30:01
  My number one pick is 16.2. I think this is the greatest
• 1:30:05
  open workout of all time. Definitely the greatest
• 1:30:09
  weightlifting workout of all time for the open.
• 1:30:14
  I I remember when this workout came out and for people that
• 1:30:17
  don't know it's 25 toes to bar, 50 double unders, and then 15
• 1:30:23
  squat cleans with 135. You had 4 minutes to get every
• 1:30:27
  to get that done and then you get 4 more minutes.
• 1:30:30
  It's always 25 toes to bar and 50 double unders.
• 1:30:33
  Then the cleans go down 131197. It ends at 3:15 on the squat
• 1:30:40
  cleans. If you all remember, Dan Bailey
• 1:30:44
  actually thought thought he finished and he was one Rep
• 1:30:46
  short back in 2016. And I know people are a lot
• 1:30:51
  fitter now, but back in 2016, if you could finish this workout,
• 1:30:57
  and I even think it's true today, if you can finish this
• 1:31:00
  workout, then you are all around extremely fit, including
• 1:31:07
  including strength. Like your strength is not a
• 1:31:09
  weakness. And like I think this is the
• 1:31:11
  greatest open workout that's ever that's ever.
• 1:31:14
  I agree with you spin. I think 23.1 is the greatest
• 1:31:17
  CrossFit workout. But for like differentiating
• 1:31:20
  games athletes, I think this is the best open workout that's
• 1:31:23
  ever been agreed you. Need to go again.
• 1:31:27
  Oh, snap. OK, my next pick is going to be
• 1:31:34
  23.3. 23.3. And 23.3 was a a wall walk.
• 1:31:41
  You did 5 wall walks and then you did, I want to say 50 double
• 1:31:45
  unders again, we're a heavy double under workout open.
• 1:31:48
  No more double unders for me, 50 double unders.
• 1:31:53
  And then I don't remember how many snatches.
• 1:31:56
  Maybe it was 15 again. I think so.
• 1:31:58
  But with one with 95 and then you did that twice it went up to
• 1:32:04
  135 and then the next one was 20 wall facing handstand push ups
• 1:32:09
  and the snatch just went up to 225.
• 1:32:11
  You can snatch any way you want. Handstand push ups.
• 1:32:15
  That's your limiter on this for sure.
• 1:32:18
  And then snatch weight 225 kind of heavy, but not like this is
• 1:32:23
  these are my weight lifting ones.
• 1:32:25
  Like there's no more weightlifting ones for for me.
• 1:32:28
  Yeah, Ironically neither of these are Max out.
• 1:32:33
  As it should be in the open. Correct.
• 1:32:37
  I like it. I'm going to pick 14.5 slash
• 1:32:43
  16.5, the 21181512963 of £95 thrusters and burpees.
• 1:32:52
  I had that on my. List that was disgusting.
• 1:32:55
  That was really bad. I don't know if I thought that
• 1:32:59
  was worse or the row one. And I I want to, I want to
• 1:33:04
  stipulate. Was this?
• 1:33:05
  Was this the first four time? I can't remember.
• 1:33:09
  It it might be because Dave, Dave was very four time and
• 1:33:14
  through the watch, right. I want to stipulate I said 23.3
• 1:33:20
  in this slot because I thought somebody would pick it and I
• 1:33:23
  don't want somebody to pick it. OK, but you don't care.
• 1:33:26
  To do once you see the rest of mine it will be well-rounded.
• 1:33:30
  I just didn't want anybody to take that one.
• 1:33:32
  That's fair, That's fair, Tyler. I love this one and I should
• 1:33:37
  save it for later because I know no one's going to pick it but
• 1:33:42
  mine is going to be 23 point 2A and then three will be 20 3.2 B.
• 1:33:52
  It is the burpee pull ups and shoulder runs in 15 minutes.
• 1:33:58
  What? I I like this workout.
• 1:34:01
  And the one right Max Thruster baby.
• 1:34:03
  And the one right Max thruster. I like this workout.
• 1:34:06
  It freaking sucks. It was aggravating.
• 1:34:08
  I dig shuttle runs. I think shuttle runs like you
• 1:34:11
  could. It's hard to do.
• 1:34:13
  I understand that I don't, I don't care like I think it's a
• 1:34:20
  good test of fitness. I, I like the shuttle runs.
• 1:34:24
  If you are fit, you're not walking it like if you're the
• 1:34:29
  fittest on earth, you're not walking there.
• 1:34:30
  And so I, I just think like we can't run in the open and
• 1:34:35
  running is such a big aspect of fitness.
• 1:34:37
  I love the shuttle runs so and then the thruster, the yes, I
• 1:34:43
  like shovel runs. I really do that.
• 1:34:47
  I I wonder if you guys ran up against this.
• 1:34:49
  So all of the Rep, all of the Max one Rep maxes or like the
• 1:34:54
  heaviest lifts in the open of all been cleans besides the
• 1:34:59
  thruster which is pretty much a clean.
• 1:35:04
  Yeah, later, right. And I thought that sucked 'cause
• 1:35:07
  I really wanted to pick a snatch, but I think, like, you
• 1:35:11
  should have to go overhead if you do a wonder if Max anything.
• 1:35:15
  So, yeah, OK. I I don't dislike the shuttle
• 1:35:19
  runs in the open, just from a standpoint of I think for your
• 1:35:22
  point of having to run, I just didn't like how you could still
• 1:35:26
  get a pretty decent score by walking.
• 1:35:30
  Yeah, like I think, I think the programming could have been
• 1:35:32
  different. Yeah, Chase.
• 1:35:37
  It's if it's a game I'm playing. That's why I go on my own
• 1:35:39
  adventure every time. Yeah, if it had been programmed
• 1:35:42
  in a way that you had to run no matter what, like there was no
• 1:35:45
  way to get to game it, Yeah, I'd probably be on your side with
• 1:35:49
  that one. All right, my next one.
• 1:35:54
  Let's see. I'm going with 21.1.
• 1:35:59
  That is the wall walk in double under workout.
• 1:36:02
  That's the worst workout ever. What is it 20?
• 1:36:08
  20.1 The Wall Walk. 10 Double unders. 3 Wall Walks 30 Double
• 1:36:12
  Under 66990151 Fifty 21210. Oh yeah, I remember this.
• 1:36:20
  I did this one in Auburn or no, that was another wall walk.
• 1:36:25
  That was the wall walk box jump over 1 I think.
• 1:36:29
  Yeah. Yeah, this one sucks.
• 1:36:32
  Yeah, it sucks. It was this.
• 1:36:34
  Is the first time we ever did wall walks.
• 1:36:36
  Yeah, yeah, this one is bad. Very bad.
• 1:36:41
  I personally would not like it, but I think it fits within what
• 1:36:47
  I've programmed and I think it's a good workout for the open.
• 1:36:51
  I'll be interested to see what each of us did not include in
• 1:36:53
  the open. Yeah, it's kind of, it's hard.
• 1:36:56
  It'll be difficult. Yeah, John.
• 1:37:03
  All right, I'm going to rock with 16.1.
• 1:37:10
  This is a 25 foot overhead lunge with 95 pounds, 95658 bar facing
• 1:37:17
  burpees, 25 foot overhead lunge and then 8 toes to bar 20 minute
• 1:37:22
  AMRAP. This is going to be your long
• 1:37:25
  cardio grime. And then for my next pick, we're
• 1:37:31
  going to go 15.5. And this is your pain.
• 1:37:36
  How much do you want to hurt? OK, this is thrusters and Rocal
• 1:37:41
  2721159. The other one that sucked, yeah,
• 1:37:47
  they 14/15/16 was like just brutal.
• 1:37:52
  Like the the the the the last workout in like that stretch of
• 1:37:56
  time. Dude, Abe was just.
• 1:38:00
  I think, I think that those were the best years of the open.
• 1:38:02
  I, I, I mean, look, three of the four right now are 15 and 16.
• 1:38:07
  I like when I was doing my like research on this, I was like
• 1:38:10
  wow, I really love how CrossFit used to test fitness.
• 1:38:16
  Yeah, yeah. No, I mean, I know there's so
• 1:38:21
  much with people liking Scaled or the foundations.
• 1:38:28
  I like the It's going to be freaking hard and you may not be
• 1:38:32
  able to do it. Here I have a question for you
• 1:38:37
  guys. Would you be willing?
• 1:38:40
  Because I see some unbalance in mind.
• 1:38:42
  Would you be willing to let me change one that nobody's picked
• 1:38:47
  yet and it would put one of the ones that I picked back on the
• 1:38:50
  table? No 'cause we we still won't
• 1:38:52
  pick. You can.
• 1:38:53
  You can substitute at the end, John, I'll let you do that.
• 1:38:56
  I'll let you do that. Chase, we'll make substitutions
• 1:38:59
  at the end if they have not been picked for your lacking of
• 1:39:02
  balance. It's hard when you're drafting
• 1:39:04
  'cause you want the ones I. Feel like I'm doing pretty well.
• 1:39:08
  I feel like I'm doing all right. All right here we go my 4th
• 1:39:13
  pick. It's also a repeat.
• 1:39:16
  It is 18.4 slash 20.3. This is the deadlifts at 225 and
• 1:39:25
  handstand push ups. So it's 21159 and then 2150,
• 1:39:31
  2015, 5950 of deadlifts at 3:15 and handstand walk.
• 1:39:36
  So that's the heavy that's. A good one, I think.
• 1:39:41
  I didn't pick that 'cause I was guilty.
• 1:39:43
  Like I didn't want to pick two handstand things.
• 1:39:47
  What time Time, time out, time out.
• 1:39:49
  There is no time. Hold on, hold on.
• 1:39:51
  Where are we at? Where are we at?
• 1:39:53
  This was a test. 16.1 is Chestabar, not Toastabar and it
• 1:39:58
  was a test for Chase and he failed miserably, he said.
• 1:40:01
  Another Toastabar workout so. That's you need to get with the
• 1:40:06
  programming bud and you you need to know your know your history.
• 1:40:11
  So 16.1 is a lunge bar facing burpees lunge chest to bar.
• 1:40:15
  OK, go ahead 18.4. I like this workout spin.
• 1:40:18
  I just, I'm just not good at it. I loved this workout.
• 1:40:24
  Yeah, I think it's. But it hurts.
• 1:40:25
  Again, it's another one hand stand walk was the first time it
• 1:40:28
  was programmed, so yeah. I'm going.
• 1:40:33
  To Tyler, your last two picks. Oh shit, we might have to circle
• 1:40:38
  back around for me at the last. We can make final substitutions
• 1:40:43
  like. I'm fine with that if y'all.
• 1:40:44
  I literally don't have my last one because I realized my last
• 1:40:47
  one's wrong. That's good.
• 1:40:52
  My next one is 14.2, which is for as long as possible from 0
• 1:40:58
  minutes to three minutes. Two rounds of overhead squats at
• 1:41:01
  £95.10 chest of bar pull ups and another three minute, 2 rounds
• 1:41:06
  of 12 and 12, another 3 minutes 6 or 14 and 14 chest of bar pull
• 1:41:12
  ups and overhead squats. That continues for as long as
• 1:41:17
  possible. I really so #1 I really wanted
• 1:41:20
  to do the thruster chest bar workout, but I didn't want to do
• 1:41:25
  any more overhead pressing since I already did the handstand push
• 1:41:28
  up and I love the format of the cut offs, so I wanted to
• 1:41:34
  continue to do that. And then the overhead workout,
• 1:41:37
  yeah, gated workout. I like that it's an overhead
• 1:41:39
  hold as we've already done overhead pressing.
• 1:41:42
  So yeah, I. Don't think we'll ever see
• 1:41:44
  overhead squats again in the open.
• 1:41:47
  Why? The direction that they've gone
• 1:41:50
  is that's like the hardest squat for many people.
• 1:41:55
  Oh yeah, so you just cut? It out.
• 1:41:57
  I just don't think they could do.
• 1:41:58
  It dude, I do. I hate that.
• 1:42:01
  OK, you people are bad at it, so we're not going to program it.
• 1:42:05
  Yeah, that's that's literally the worst.
• 1:42:07
  Thing I've ever I can't overhead squat.
• 1:42:09
  I have terrible mobility. I still think it should be
• 1:42:11
  programmed. I I do too because you can go
• 1:42:17
  slow and it's like it is the most athletic movement in as far
• 1:42:22
  as weight lifting goes. Yeah, maybe they'll change,
• 1:42:26
  Maybe they'll they'll mix it up because you know, the open
• 1:42:29
  matters a little bit more. We'll see.
• 1:42:32
  Tyler, your last one. Oh God, I'm going to go with and
• 1:42:40
  I I just don't know. This isn't this isn't fair
• 1:42:47
  because I want a deadlift workout, but I'm not able to
• 1:42:48
  find one right now and if this workout is wrong, let me know.
• 1:42:52
  I'm going to go with no, this is good 20.540.
• 1:42:59
  That was what I was going, was my next one.
• 1:43:02
  Oh no. 40 ring, 80 Cal row and 120 wall balls.
• 1:43:09
  That one is Choose your own adventure I want on John.
• 1:43:16
  There's a chance that that can be the repeat and they call it
• 1:43:18
  Lazar because he won that. One.
• 1:43:21
  Yeah, that's all. Yeah, I'm willing to trade,
• 1:43:25
  John, but let me run. OK, OK, OK, OK, OK.
• 1:43:27
  OK, OK, let me just figure out what I'll do my last one and
• 1:43:30
  then we'll figure out what. We're.
• 1:43:31
  Doing my last one, it's you're going to be doing burpees twice,
• 1:43:37
  but they're going to be mixed in with box jump overs.
• 1:43:39
  This one is 17.1 or 21.2. The 10 dumbbell snatches, 15
• 1:43:46
  Burpee box jump overs 20 man. You program like Castro, dude.
• 1:43:49
  You just like I. Just it is the open John and how
• 1:43:53
  how we are literally programming Castro's workouts.
• 1:43:56
  You have like 15 workouts that are just the worst.
• 1:43:58
  Go ahead. Yeah, dumbbell snatches and
• 1:44:02
  burpee box jump overs. So lots of burpees, lots of
• 1:44:07
  suck. I have heavy, heavy deadlifts in
• 1:44:10
  there, John. You don't like that one?
• 1:44:12
  Because I don't. I don't.
• 1:44:13
  I don't want. The one heavy lift you don't
• 1:44:16
  want. Yeah, you can make it four O 5.
• 1:44:20
  I'll have the same score as it doesn't.
• 1:44:23
  It doesn't matter that it's heavy, it's the volume that I
• 1:44:26
  can't do. Yeah, John, I'm going to roll.
• 1:44:34
  I'm going to roll with 19.4. And that is?
• 1:44:38
  We are doing burpees again. It's hard to find where you
• 1:44:41
  don't run into each other. The draft is definitely tough.
• 1:44:45
  19.4 It's 10 power snatches, 3 rounds of 10 power snatches, 10
• 1:44:51
  bar facing or 12 bar facing burpees.
• 1:44:54
  You rest 3 minutes and then three rounds of 10 bar muscle
• 1:44:59
  UPS, 12 bar facing burpees, 12 minute cap.
• 1:45:03
  Yeah, but I don't remember that one.
• 1:45:05
  Dude, that way it's super fun because you don't know how fast
• 1:45:08
  you should go in the first one. But but like like I remember if
• 1:45:13
  you finished this workout, then you were pretty fit.
• 1:45:16
  Not not like for a crossword game standard, but like just in
• 1:45:19
  in regular people world. If you if you finished this one,
• 1:45:21
  you're pretty fit. Yeah, Chase.
• 1:45:28
  I assume it's Chase. Spin loves pressing.
• 1:45:31
  Great workout John. What I would, you know, Chase
• 1:45:34
  and Bill should analyze. They should come.
• 1:45:36
  Yeah, come on. And just which is.
• 1:45:38
  Yeah. Just do a show and analyze our
• 1:45:41
  workouts and say who who was the better if.
• 1:45:44
  You if you do that, I would like to include 14.3.
• 1:45:50
  I think this is a good workout. It's 10 deadlifts at 3:15, 13515
• 1:45:56
  box jumps, 15 deadlifts at 18515 box jumps, 20 deadlifts at 225,
• 1:46:01
  and so on and so forth. Would you like to add that?
• 1:46:03
  Would you like to put 20 three 2.2 AB and then add that?
• 1:46:07
  No, actually get rid of 23.2 B and put in 14.3 yes.
• 1:46:15
  So that would be my one trade. John, do you have any trades?
• 1:46:18
  I know you were. Nope, I already screenshotted
• 1:46:21
  this, yes. Yes, Yes, I do.
• 1:46:24
  Yes, I do. I want to get rid of, I want to
• 1:46:27
  get rid of 23 point. Hold on, let me make sure I have
• 1:46:31
  more enough weight lifting. Yeah, yes, I want to get rid of
• 1:46:36
  23.3 and we're going to go 19.3. You guys.
• 1:46:44
  Don't chase. These are not in order, by the
• 1:46:47
  way. I know, John.
• 1:46:48
  Yeah, yeah, yeah. They're not.
• 1:46:49
  They're not in order. They're not in order.
• 1:46:51
  No, for sure we had we had the draft on purpose.
• 1:46:53
  You want to order them and then be like.
• 1:46:55
  This is the final thing. Now take a picture and evaluate
• 1:47:02
  I I don't mind ordering them, but that could be fun.
• 1:47:04
  Yeah, OK. Do you want to continue spin?
• 1:47:09
  No, I'm. No, I'm not.
• 1:47:10
  Why? What?
• 1:47:11
  Spin. Why do you take the fun out of
• 1:47:13
  me, man? Because I I picked like a way.
• 1:47:17
  Yeah, yeah. Look, come.
• 1:47:19
  On all right, all right, fine. Fine.
• 1:47:21
  Tyler, you gotta order them though, all at once. 23.2 A is
• 1:47:26
  #1 for sure. OK, let's do 15.4 second.
• 1:47:34
  That's fine. What's 14.2 again?
• 1:47:39
  14.2. Tomorrow overhead.
• 1:47:44
  And that is after that's going to be double pull.
• 1:47:48
  So move 14.2 to the end and put 20.5 at 4:00.
• 1:47:52
  I'll just make it easy. There you go.
• 1:48:02
  All right, we'll do it. Dollar 99 from Chase to order
• 1:48:05
  them. All right, all right, that's how
• 1:48:07
  it works. John, do you want to go?
• 1:48:10
  Sure, I will go. You ready for this?
• 1:48:12
  This is going to look beautiful. You ready for it?
• 1:48:15
  My first one and I did this on purpose.
• 1:48:17
  My first one is 16.1, my second one is 16.2, my third one is
• 1:48:25
  19.3, my 4th one is 19.4, and my last one is 15.5.
• 1:48:35
  Who has the most spread? It's.
• 1:48:37
  Definitely not John. John's in a four year period
• 1:48:42
  here. I don't know if y'all know this
• 1:48:44
  but 2015 through 2019 is when I got in the CrossFit.
• 1:48:48
  Like if y'all want to know when I when I got into the CrossFit
• 1:48:52
  these were the years. I think Tyler and I both have
• 1:48:57
  the the biggest. Yeah, Brett, you have two in
• 1:49:00
  2014, so you may lose from from that standpoint.
• 1:49:05
  All right, I have a lot of. I guess technically 23.1 could
• 1:49:09
  really be 14.4, but. Can I?
• 1:49:13
  I'm going to. I want to address this. 17.3 is
• 1:49:16
  my second favorite workout of all time.
• 1:49:18
  I cannot have 16.2 and 17.3 together.
• 1:49:23
  That's fair. I can't.
• 1:49:24
  I can't but 17.3 is my favorite workout of all time.
• 1:49:29
  All right, so I'm going to go a little bit backwards, but 14.5
• 1:49:33
  is definitely the last one. So our thrusters and and burpees
• 1:49:38
  and we're going to do burpees at the very beginning to keep those
• 1:49:42
  separated. 17.1 dumbbell thruster or the dumbbell snatch
• 1:49:47
  and the burpee box jump overs. So we're going to keep those
• 1:49:49
  separate. Let's see 23.
• 1:49:53
  You know how you know how you know what type of athlete Spin
• 1:49:56
  is? Tyler?
• 1:49:57
  Three of the five are the first workout of the Open.
• 1:50:03
  Yeah, but 23 23.1 was also 14.4. That's a good point.
• 1:50:08
  I don't have a single open announcement like first workout
• 1:50:12
  in my batch. I'm clearly the most
• 1:50:14
  well-rounded. Clearly, clearly.
• 1:50:20
  Let's see, what did I have? 23.1, What was that?
• 1:50:27
  Oh, that was the yeah, 21.1 is the wall walks.
• 1:50:32
  I'm going to move 18.4 right here in the middle.
• 1:50:40
  You like You enjoyed the wall walk, double under workout spin?
• 1:50:43
  You really like you actually like that?
• 1:50:44
  One. What's that?
• 1:50:45
  You enjoyed the wall walk double under workout.
• 1:50:48
  No, do I? No, I did not like it, but I'm
• 1:50:51
  not programmed for myself. I'm.
• 1:50:53
  I'm programming. You like it?
• 1:50:54
  You like it for a test? Yes.
• 1:50:58
  Why? It's hard, dude.
• 1:51:01
  I know. Yeah, it's a handstand.
• 1:51:04
  Walk I could program four O 5 Max squats for 40 reps That's
• 1:51:08
  hard like. No, that's impossible.
• 1:51:11
  Doesn't make a good test. I think it I like it because it
• 1:51:14
  was the first time it had been programmed.
• 1:51:16
  I like it that it's getting upside down for people who can't
• 1:51:20
  handstand walk right. So like I have a higher skill
• 1:51:25
  handstand walk in there, but you also you're getting upside down
• 1:51:30
  twice. But it's less skill for
• 1:51:35
  everybody inclusive. I really.
• 1:51:39
  That's my least favorite word of all.
• 1:51:42
  Inclusive I really wanted to work in 16.3, which is one of my
• 1:51:47
  favorite workouts of all time that I I sort of hated, but it
• 1:51:50
  was I I did love it. Which was 7 minute AMRAP of
• 1:51:53
  power snatches at 75 lbs. And bar muscle ups.
• 1:51:56
  And three bar muscle ups. It was so hard, but you could
• 1:52:00
  kind of keep going. It sucked so bad.
• 1:52:02
  I like that one a lot too yeah I mean like yeah, I was shocked
• 1:52:06
  neither of y'all picked 17.3, but I mean it's.
• 1:52:10
  Fine, I'm moving 21.1 up. You get the handstand walking
• 1:52:17
  and wall walk separated. OK, Now that's smart.
• 1:52:20
  That's smart, yeah. Screenshot it.
• 1:52:23
  All right, Chase, this is the order.
• 1:52:26
  Do it. Do it on the next year with the
• 1:52:28
  programming show, evaluate it and let us know your pick spin.
• 1:52:32
  If we can somehow make a reel out of this, I think it would
• 1:52:34
  make, I think people would like it a lot.
• 1:52:37
  I would do my. I kind of want to do mine now
• 1:52:41
  just. Go through it.
• 1:52:45
  Yeah, like shit, We got like a lot of training we could do like
• 1:52:48
  I, I would do. That dude, I'm down.
• 1:52:51
  I'm I would do all of them. Really.
• 1:52:52
  Series out of it? Oh no, hold on.
• 1:52:54
  Yeah, we get y'all want to do one of these a week?
• 1:52:57
  Because by the end of the open, we would have done all of them.
• 1:53:01
  John, that's 15 weeks, no? No, no, You do your one, I'll do
• 1:53:07
  my one spin, we'll do his one, and then we'll Recon and we'll
• 1:53:10
  post about it and we could talk about it on the show.
• 1:53:15
  No, like you do your 1. So one of these weeks you're
• 1:53:18
  just doing a thruster, right? No, yeah, he got rid of that.
• 1:53:21
  No. OK, OK, OK, OK, OK.
• 1:53:24
  You know what I'm saying though? Yeah.
• 1:53:29
  I think it'd be fun. Just a random one I do.
• 1:53:31
  Just do one workout you do. 11 a day.
• 1:53:35
  No, I'm not going to do 1A day, Tyler, but but like, if you do
• 1:53:37
  one of these a week, 'cause I think it's going to be during
• 1:53:39
  the open too. So you're going to do the open
• 1:53:41
  workout at some point this week too, you know what I mean?
• 1:53:43
  And probably twice, right? So.
• 1:53:45
  Can I change my picks? No, Sir.
• 1:53:51
  I don't like it. All right, well, there you go.
• 1:53:55
  Chase, Bill, have at it. Tell us which one do you like
• 1:53:59
  better. We'll see who the winner is.
• 1:54:03
  Yeah, we've been going long. We'll see how fast we can get
• 1:54:05
  through some of this TFX Invitational.
• 1:54:09
  A little bit of a. Sev on so far behind a.
• 1:54:12
  Little controversy, you know, he missed the the Brocks Brooke
• 1:54:16
  piece of it. He was also on the 22,000 and
• 1:54:20
  three Canadian junior hockey team.
• 1:54:22
  That's what Dense told us. So TFX Invitational, Caitlin
• 1:54:30
  Saunders and Tracy Johnson, 1st and 3rd at the TFX Championship.
• 1:54:37
  That's where you were, John, One there podium, the pro division
• 1:54:41
  and are not going to be at the TFX Invitational because they
• 1:54:47
  live east of the Mississippi. John, you had heard about this
• 1:54:51
  last week and then it kind of blew up more over the weekend.
• 1:54:54
  I wrote about it on Monday. What are your thoughts on it?
• 1:54:57
  You were there. The thing is, they gave them,
• 1:55:01
  they gave them like a little thing that said confirmed.
• 1:55:04
  And I think that like really threw them for a loop, right?
• 1:55:08
  Like they they, you know, they didn't say, hey, just so you
• 1:55:12
  know, if you're not in the region, you can't come.
• 1:55:15
  And the way it is shown, it says we're going to pick 30 people
• 1:55:21
  and then the three or 33 people, whatever it says, and then the
• 1:55:25
  and then the three podium people.
• 1:55:27
  And I get it, like she has to come from the West, right?
• 1:55:31
  Or the, or the winner has to come or the the cost of game
• 1:55:34
  spots have to come from the West.
• 1:55:37
  That's fine. But it doesn't say that she
• 1:55:39
  can't compete there. You know what I mean?
• 1:55:42
  It would just go to the next spot.
• 1:55:43
  I'm not sure I agree with that part of it though, John.
• 1:55:45
  Oh, you think she should be able to make it?
• 1:55:47
  Yeah, the way that the way that it was written now, it sounds
• 1:55:52
  like their intent was otherwise. But when you say 1st through
• 1:55:56
  33rd in the open come from the North America West leaderboard,
• 1:56:00
  just like Wilson said, you know, the top 20 in the open come from
• 1:56:04
  the North America East leaderboard.
• 1:56:05
  That's clear. But then when you say the top
• 1:56:08
  three men and women who podium in the pro division at TFX also
• 1:56:11
  earn their invitation, as long as they finish the top one, it's
• 1:56:16
  up for grabs for anybody. No, I don't mind.
• 1:56:20
  I don't mind it at all. And I get the whole point of
• 1:56:23
  like it was for the North America West region, but when
• 1:56:26
  you add that piece of it, like, hey, I'm tying in one of my
• 1:56:28
  other competitions, which I think is a good idea.
• 1:56:30
  I think it's neat, but then you can't.
• 1:56:33
  And if they come from the East, they come from the East.
• 1:56:35
  Like, no, no, I, I agree with you.
• 1:56:38
  I agree with you and I and honestly, I don't think they
• 1:56:40
  should change their word like next year.
• 1:56:42
  I don't think they should change their wording or anything.
• 1:56:44
  It should like that's the part where I'm like, you kind of did
• 1:56:48
  her dirty, right, right. Like you gave this girl that and
• 1:56:52
  the 3rd place you gave her it too. 3rd place is also from the
• 1:56:55
  east and and then you're and then you're like I then you call
• 1:56:59
  her later and say, Oh, we were send your invitation.
• 1:57:01
  Like either know that she's from the East beforehand and don't
• 1:57:06
  give her that and give her to the 4th and 5th place, or just
• 1:57:11
  let him come and like and like if you're, if you're like only W
• 1:57:15
  people should be here, then that needs to be blatantly said
• 1:57:20
  somewhere where everybody knows that.
• 1:57:24
  Well, the problem is if you do this next year, do you get
• 1:57:27
  anybody from the East to go if the if they're a high level
• 1:57:31
  competitor who wants to compete in the season, like you may go
• 1:57:35
  just to compete, but like go to Wadapalooza instead, like.
• 1:57:39
  And I and I, I agree with you, Spin, I think, I think you can
• 1:57:42
  call it the West regional because you are taking all the
• 1:57:46
  people from the West. If somebody from your little
• 1:57:48
  qualifier makes it and they're the ones who get the spot, I
• 1:57:51
  think you should, I think it's better to give it to them.
• 1:57:53
  Just give it to them. Remember when Marcus Hedren
• 1:57:58
  basically threw a Hail Mary in the last workout to go to the
• 1:58:02
  games from regionals and they had to let what was it, 5?
• 1:58:05
  Yeah, Graham and Graham and Rich both got in.
• 1:58:09
  Yeah, and they both were champs. So they got a free a freebie
• 1:58:12
  basically. And then so it backfield and
• 1:58:16
  like basically Dave was like if if he gets like if this happens
• 1:58:21
  this way, we're going to let him go.
• 1:58:23
  So I sit on both sides of the fence on this number one, like
• 1:58:27
  for her, I'm like, you really shouldn't be surprised that
• 1:58:30
  they're re recalling your deal. It sucks, but you don't be.
• 1:58:35
  Surprised. But you know what says this?
• 1:58:38
  Yeah, Tyler, if they gave her a ticket that said confirmed.
• 1:58:42
  Lee I'm not finished, so I I I wouldn't be.
• 1:58:45
  So if they did it to me, I'd be like, that's fucking shitty
• 1:58:48
  move, but OK, that's fine. You, it's your all's game.
• 1:58:51
  You get to make the call. But I also think that they
• 1:58:56
  should honor it and they should come out and say, Hey, we
• 1:58:59
  screwed up, but there's this one girl from the East and we're
• 1:59:02
  never going to do this again. And then there's this chance,
• 1:59:06
  there's this off chance that she qualifies for fucking games in
• 1:59:09
  the one place that she wasn't like, wasn't allowed to qualify
• 1:59:12
  for the game. And that would be so cool.
• 1:59:15
  It's better marketing for your event.
• 1:59:18
  Everybody, it's better for everybody.
• 1:59:19
  Everybody. I get it looks like it's not
• 1:59:22
  what you wanted, but I it looks better on you to be like.
• 1:59:27
  If you let it happen. If you like, we didn't think
• 1:59:29
  this would happen. It did happen.
• 1:59:31
  We're going to respect it like it.
• 1:59:33
  Like nobody's going to get mad at that.
• 1:59:36
  Nobody. No, I think you're right.
• 1:59:40
  Moving on to the The next One World Fitness project, you'd go
• 1:59:45
  to the barbell spin to get things you don't see anywhere
• 1:59:47
  else. The World Fitness project is
• 1:59:51
  circulating a vendor deck, and of course I got that.
• 1:59:54
  I don't get the information about Jr., but I do get the
• 1:59:56
  information about vendor deck. Somehow the hard the harder
• 2:00:00
  information again you got. Yeah.
• 2:00:03
  Hey hey, I'm in a freaking group chat with Jr. and I have zero
• 2:00:06
  clue that he's doing it. Tyler, do you think it?
• 2:00:07
  Do you think it you think it bothers Spin that I knew that
• 2:00:10
  before he did so bad. This is how Hapen feels all the
• 2:00:17
  time. Spin.
• 2:00:18
  Now think about that. Yeah, I wonder what metaphor.
• 2:00:23
  I wonder what metaphor he's talking about.
• 2:00:25
  I. Don't know.
• 2:00:28
  I don't. There's no.
• 2:00:31
  He's also like 45 minutes behind, so we don't know.
• 2:00:36
  Yeah. So World Fitness Project pass on
• 2:00:39
  a vendor package to potential companies to become a vendor.
• 2:00:45
  They've bragged about their $13.7 million community reach.
• 2:00:49
  So all of their collaborative posts announcing their 40
• 2:00:52
  athletes generated almost 14 million views on Instagram.
• 2:01:00
  Then you get down to the attendance, which is kind of
• 2:01:03
  important if you're going to be a vendor.
• 2:01:06
  Over 600 athletes between the professionals, the challengers
• 2:01:09
  and the community team divisions with an expected spectator
• 2:01:14
  attendance of over 5000 people seems like a lot.
• 2:01:22
  Seems like too Penny. I don't how many are at
• 2:01:27
  syndicate do you know? That was about 33, a little over
• 2:01:31
  3000 last year, yeah. So I'm just saying a competition
• 2:01:36
  that's in America that a lot of big names are going to be at and
• 2:01:41
  has been here for a while, right, It's been.
• 2:01:46
  Yeah, you know what you use? As a semi final or a regional to
• 2:01:50
  go to the games repeatedly and then you're just an upstart,
• 2:01:59
  upstart competition. I just, I think it's a lot to
• 2:02:02
  expect, but maybe they know something we don't know.
• 2:02:07
  Yeah, tickets range from three day pass from $100 to single day
• 2:02:11
  admission 50. You saw Wilson was doing the
• 2:02:15
  early birds pricing with what 7060 Sixty plus fees, weekend
• 2:02:20
  VIP passes, $500 floor seating, full service waitstaff and a
• 2:02:26
  parking pass. There were 66 remaining when I
• 2:02:29
  wrote this article. I elbow spot all 72 put it on my
• 2:02:33
  story. Somebody is snagged to six of
• 2:02:35
  those. So there you go.
• 2:02:39
  Scroll back up question. For you, Brian, do you know who
• 2:02:44
  is going to do the media for them?
• 2:02:48
  Yes, I've heard, but I don't remember.
• 2:02:52
  Tyler, do you know? I do.
• 2:02:55
  I will not say as it will blow some.
• 2:02:59
  I do know. I do know Brent Brian Friend is
• 2:03:02
  involved with World Fitness Project.
• 2:03:03
  He's working for him. I don't know if he's doing the
• 2:03:05
  exact broadcast, but he might be involved with it.
• 2:03:09
  For all who are concerned, that is the difference.
• 2:03:13
  It should be evident for what we put on it.
• 2:03:16
  Syndicate and what's going to be at World Fitness Project?
• 2:03:18
  Called. There you go, we'll see how they
• 2:03:22
  how they 2 stack up. Scroll up the 13 million
• 2:03:25
  impressions. 13 million impressions you like?
• 2:03:27
  That. So here's here's what I learned.
• 2:03:30
  Here's what Heat one has taught me.
• 2:03:33
  How many impressions do you think that Heat 1 gained during
• 2:03:38
  Not This Water Palooza but last? Last year's tier Water Palooza.
• 2:03:44
  What counts as an impression? Don't ask questions you know,
• 2:03:48
  just answer the question. I don't I like, I don't even.
• 2:03:51
  I don't want. To go with, I'm going to go with
• 2:03:52
  5 million. I'm going to.
• 2:03:54
  I don't understand what an impression is.
• 2:03:56
  No one does. I'm not even kidding.
• 2:04:00
  I'm going to say. 14,000,000 it was it was three.
• 2:04:06
  We had a little over 3000 people playing, 13 million impressions
• 2:04:13
  on Instagram is nothing. With the amount of athletes and
• 2:04:18
  and things that they have, that this number means nothing.
• 2:04:24
  It is. Not when you share it with Danny
• 2:04:25
  Spiegel or Laura Horvath or Pat Veldner, who get hundreds of
• 2:04:29
  thousands each time. That's what I'm saying like 30,
• 2:04:32
  three, 3000 people had three million impressions.
• 2:04:38
  Like you're, you're impressing the same people.
• 2:04:41
  So it's like, OK, of the 13 million that they're saying
• 2:04:44
  right here, how many of those overlap?
• 2:04:46
  I bet it is 80%. And so I bet you're only talking
• 2:04:50
  to like maybe 6000 people Max. It's.
• 2:04:54
  All fugazi. Yeah, that's fair.
• 2:04:57
  That's fair. If you want to be a vendor,
• 2:05:00
  $28150.00 for a 10 by 10 booth, you get no no discount, just
• 2:05:06
  double it for 5700 for a 10 by 20 booth.
• 2:05:10
  At tour event 1, you get some discounts if you sign up for
• 2:05:14
  multiple events across the world.
• 2:05:19
  Melanie Hodge. Did I see Tia was now with LSKD?
• 2:05:23
  Yeah, makes sense, she's in Australia.
• 2:05:27
  Better than Go Rock. So got that.
• 2:05:31
  A little detour before 25.3 Mayhem Classic.
• 2:05:36
  The roster is finalized. Paige Powers last one announced
• 2:05:40
  on the women's side Should have maybe like 2 weeks ago.
• 2:05:44
  Should. Be all right.
• 2:05:46
  You think she'll be fine? Should.
• 2:05:47
  Be OK I. Don't see it, seems a little
• 2:05:50
  early but maybe she's. Dude, I just know how my listen
• 2:05:55
  Leslie, she's going to be mad at me for telling y'all this but
• 2:05:58
  it's OK, I'm just telling you. You too.
• 2:06:02
  She squatted 105.7 times yesterday and and she was super
• 2:06:11
  proud of it and then today she said and I'm pretty sore and she
• 2:06:17
  had her baby right around when Paige had hers.
• 2:06:22
  What was I thought Paige was only like a couple weeks ago or
• 2:06:24
  by? They had they they were very
• 2:06:27
  close. Very close.
• 2:06:28
  OK, it's I mean. Now now my wife is not Paige
• 2:06:34
  Power. Sure.
• 2:06:35
  Yeah, but I. Mean we all thought it was
• 2:06:37
  impressive when Tia came back to Rogue.
• 2:06:40
  Was it 5 months later? Five months.
• 2:06:42
  Yeah, and this is like 3 she'll get so.
• 2:06:45
  This is going to be fast. It's going to be rough.
• 2:06:50
  So that'll be, yes, Judy, she's a, she's a big old girl.
• 2:06:54
  Big. Old Girl Leslie is not what I
• 2:06:56
  would call a big old girl. 25.3 Sprague Pepper Hopper right
• 2:07:03
  South of MVP Arena in Albany, NY you like?
• 2:07:08
  It love it. Yeah, you know what I really
• 2:07:12
  like? I wasn't wanting this to be the
• 2:07:13
  repeat workout, but I would love to see them go at it at 19.1915
• 2:07:21
  minute AMRAP, 19 wild balls, 19 Cal row.
• 2:07:25
  I know it's a boring workout, but I can't.
• 2:07:27
  They're all good at it. I can't think of three people
• 2:07:29
  that wouldn't just murder themselves doing that workout,
• 2:07:33
  you know what I mean? And I just enjoy people
• 2:07:35
  murdering themselves. This graphic for them is a bit
• 2:07:40
  of a stretch, like from this distance Hopper looks like
• 2:07:42
  Colton Dallon. Dallon looks like Heber.
• 2:07:48
  And James does not look like James at all.
• 2:07:53
  That's. Interesting I.
• 2:07:56
  Like what is what is this pose? He has never made this pose in
• 2:07:59
  his life. I think it's an interesting
• 2:08:02
  post. I think it'd be good.
• 2:08:03
  I think it'd be a good one. No, I I need to.
• 2:08:07
  Regardless of what it'd be, I think.
• 2:08:08
  It'd be a good workout or a good a good show, so I like it.
• 2:08:12
  Who do you think the guest announcer is?
• 2:08:16
  For what? For 25.3.
• 2:08:18
  Yes. Where is it at?
• 2:08:20
  New York. Who is the guest announcer?
• 2:08:22
  No, Maybe Pool Boy, but I don't think Savannah ended up sending
• 2:08:25
  the auditions selections. Oh, the affiliate, The affiliate
• 2:08:29
  person. The.
• 2:08:33
  Ginger guy the broken ginger what?
• 2:08:35
  What's What's his? What's his?
• 2:08:37
  What's his name? Broken ginger, Yeah, the guy
• 2:08:39
  that won heard. Oh, third.
• 2:08:41
  He got third. He got third.
• 2:08:42
  I. Think, dude, that guy's the
• 2:08:43
  best. What?
• 2:08:44
  Whatever his name, it's something ginger.
• 2:08:46
  Yeah. He collaborates with Taylor all
• 2:08:47
  the time, yeah. All the time.
• 2:08:49
  That's that. That guy from his bedroom.
• 2:08:52
  That was a fun show. And then last but not least,
• 2:08:56
  Wadlin Fest, the online qualifier, is supposed to be 20
• 2:09:02
  athletes advancing, plus all these invites like Sarah
• 2:09:05
  Sigmund's daughter and Annual and Lucy Campbell.
• 2:09:09
  And apparently athletes were like, hey, we really like this,
• 2:09:12
  we really want to compete. Why don't you expand it?
• 2:09:14
  And they said, let's not go from 20 to 30 or 40 or 50 or 60.
• 2:09:20
  How about we invite 80 men and 70 women from the qualifier?
• 2:09:24
  This makes me. So upset, Tyler, we should have
• 2:09:26
  done the qualifier. Can you Can you imagine us going
• 2:09:30
  going? I spent on an honest like, have
• 2:09:33
  you looked at the people that are going?
• 2:09:35
  You so I didn't look at the people, I looked at some of the
• 2:09:38
  scores so. Like yeah, the. 3rd workout
• 2:09:40
  Andrea Solberg finished in like 5 minutes in in 70th place in
• 2:09:45
  the women was like cat plus 26. OK, so yeah, in your in your
• 2:09:49
  opinion, do you think me and Tyler would have made it like.
• 2:09:51
  100%. Brilliant.
• 2:09:52
  How fun would that be? You would.
• 2:09:55
  Have been in. Spain, I would have so much fun.
• 2:09:59
  Dude, I would be speaking Spanish.
• 2:10:01
  We wouldn't even have to. Try.
• 2:10:02
  Really. Oh man, dude, oh dude, it would
• 2:10:07
  be so remember. Like the first year of of Dubai,
• 2:10:11
  they basically paid everybody who participated.
• 2:10:15
  It's just the same thing. It was I would learn Portuguese
• 2:10:18
  and I just to throw people off. OK.
• 2:10:23
  It's in Spain. But no, no, I know, but Portugal
• 2:10:25
  is right. Next to Spain.
• 2:10:27
  Portugal is right next to Spain. They hear Portuguese all the.
• 2:10:30
  Free the ultimate trolls. You got to think 2 levels.
• 2:10:33
  Deep here. No, Stop it.
• 2:10:35
  Yes, dude, I think it would. Do they know what Portuguese is?
• 2:10:38
  I think it would throw them for a loop is all I'm saying.
• 2:10:40
  Yeah. So they, they announced it, it,
• 2:10:44
  it's, I mean, these are the same group that runs Madrid
• 2:10:48
  Championship and they had 60 plus athletes two years ago.
• 2:10:52
  So they run it. The problem is that was when
• 2:10:54
  HWPO programmed it and like there was every workout was like
• 2:10:57
  4 minutes, like one was 10. So like if you have this many
• 2:11:03
  heats and there's community divisions, like unless the
• 2:11:08
  community visions just kind of get the scraps and the times
• 2:11:11
  like, or they have two fields of play or something, I don't know
• 2:11:17
  how they do it. It's just going to be an
• 2:11:18
  interesting program, but it could be interesting.
• 2:11:24
  I love it. So, yeah, but there were 72
• 2:11:27
  women that were in the online qualifiers, 96 men.
• 2:11:30
  So yes, John Tyler, you guys were.
• 2:11:33
  Tyler, why did we not do? From now on, just do every
• 2:11:37
  single online qualifier just in case.
• 2:11:40
  Dude, hey, next year I think we should do it.
• 2:11:42
  I think this could be so. Much no chance they do this
• 2:11:46
  again. Why no chance?
• 2:11:47
  Maybe it's very popular. You think it's going to be
• 2:11:49
  really bad? Have you heard about the Italian
• 2:11:51
  one? It's like like 1000 athletes and
• 2:11:53
  they just do like massive cuts throughout.
• 2:11:57
  You can do one workout that's like all right, you're.
• 2:11:59
  Doing that, that would suck. Yeah, if we went to Spain and
• 2:12:01
  they're like, OK, you're done. That's what they're going to do.
• 2:12:05
  That would suck. I hope if they run like all
• 2:12:07
  fucking 50 heats every day they're going to die.
• 2:12:12
  Yeah, I don't know. It'll be nice.
• 2:12:14
  We got to, we got to wrap up, guys.
• 2:12:16
