  Hello and welcome to the Spin. Oh, look at that Tyler with his
• 0:37
  sleep mask. You tired?
• 0:39
  What are you talking about? I'm tired.
• 0:41
  Yeah, a little tired. He was wearing that while
• 0:43
  driving. Yeah, probably would have done
• 0:46
  me some good to be honest, because doing this all the way
• 0:50
  back to Spartanburg, not positive at.
• 0:53
  Least you had that John is in his studio but.
• 0:59
  New and improved. If you can see back back here,
• 1:04
  we got the paint carton. I don't know what it is.
• 1:08
  So when I went to crash, my wife decided to just redo my whole
• 1:14
  office and now everything's on a different side.
• 1:18
  I don't know why that was necessary.
• 1:23
  If you look now. So like I like my like laptop,
• 1:27
  like where I'm biking, right? And I just watch something.
• 1:30
  I like being in the dark. I don't, I don't.
• 1:32
  I just want to be in like a dungeon and I'll watch whatever
• 1:35
  I'm watching. But now we got tan walls, not
• 1:41
  dark walls. And my bike over here, I get to
• 1:45
  look out the window. So everything's just nice and
• 1:47
  bright for me so. She's painting too.
• 1:50
  I like the green wall. I like the green wall too,
• 1:53
  Tyler, but this is what marriage is.
• 2:00
  It's great. That is fantastic.
• 2:03
  I come home. Hold on, hold on hold.
• 2:07
  On John's list of 99. I come, I come home, I come home
• 2:10
  and I'm like, babe, like what? What do we why did we have to
• 2:15
  move everything? And she's and she goes, I worked
• 2:19
  really hard and painted all weekend while you were gone.
• 2:22
  So now I'm not even allowed to be mad because I'm not
• 2:27
  acknowledging all the hard work that she put in.
• 2:29
  I'm sure she did work hard, it's just there was nothing wrong
• 2:36
  with the green wall. Bring back the great big green
• 2:40
  wall. Bring it back.
• 2:42
  I I missed the JY barbell poster back.
• 2:44
  There, it's, it's back there. It's supposed to be up by now.
• 2:48
  The good news is, I'm not. Done.
• 2:49
  Yet, Yeah, I'm pretty sure I said well, that needs to be up
• 2:52
  before the show. It's not up.
• 2:54
  So I, I don't know, it's, it's whatever.
• 3:01
  I'm we're all really happy about the progress that our House is
• 3:04
  making. I think it looks good.
• 3:05
  That's a good wall you got behind.
• 3:07
  That's not what you said behind the scenes.
• 3:09
  I don't know what you're talking about.
• 3:12
  All right, well, we got a great show for you.
• 3:14
  Some viewer comments to those here in a second.
• 3:18
  Tyler and John were in Spartanburg, SC, so we'll hear
• 3:22
  what that was like live. Obviously, the big news today
• 3:27
  coming out SAN. Jose.
• 3:30
  Yeah, and our standard, before we get to that 5 bucks for
• 3:33
  keeping it real, wants to know Guyana, what's?
• 3:38
  The. Capital of Guyana.
• 3:42
  I don't know, man. What's the capital of it's?
• 3:44
  I mean, it's a hold on. It's a regular George, George.
• 3:52
  George. That's it.
• 3:57
  Hold on, Hold on, Georgetown. Georgetown.
• 4:01
  Is that? Is that what?
• 4:04
  Yeah, that's crazy. Guyana I.
• 4:09
  Would not have gotten that one so.
• 4:11
  I got a couple comments like helping me out guys, don't help
• 4:14
  me out. Shout out if you're I got I got
• 4:18
  it, I got it. It's just just I got to I got to
• 4:21
  stiff through the way the way it works.
• 4:24
  It's like a catalog and I have to like go through country by
• 4:27
  country and sift through the that's how it like checks in my
• 4:30
  brain. Can I give it a minute?
• 4:32
  And like the United States, I can kind of like, but like, you
• 4:36
  know, I just learned South America, so I got to kind of
• 4:38
  sift. You know it's down there at the
• 4:40
  bottom of the list, so. Have you seen Dreamcatcher the
• 4:45
  movie? Professor Gray.
• 4:47
  You got that sort of thing going on in your brain.
• 4:49
  You got a whole library in there.
• 4:50
  You're just like Nope, wrong. Dude, Yeah.
• 4:55
  Do you want to see if that works any better, dear?
• 4:57
  I I you can say, can see my face.
• 4:59
  Fine, Go ahead, do it. Yep.
• 5:03

• 6:12
  12,000. Where's Pedro?
• 6:15
  He's at like 8000. Sucker.
• 6:19
  Yeah. Is he really at 8:00?
• 6:20
  I think so. So he's caught back up.
• 6:22
  I think he's been making some, getting some steam, he's got
• 6:24
  some. Because he's all the way up
• 6:26
  there on Media Hill. He got a little plug you got.
• 6:29

  Getting the big fish. Yeah, yeah.
• 6:36
  Hit that subscribe button. We can't.
• 6:38
  We can not let Pedro surpass us. All right.
• 6:41
  First one, Mr. Fondall. I saw Mr. Fondall today.
• 6:47
  Did you? Yeah.
• 6:48
  First off, welcome to the Spin Live from the We Work Studios.
• 6:52
  Host Brian Spin covers the latest CrossFit news, Tyler
• 6:56
  giggles like a schoolgirl, and brother JY stuffs his pie hole
• 7:00
  with nothing found on the CrossFit nutritional pyramid.
• 7:03
  Enjoy. Chicken is on the pyramid.
• 7:06
  There's no nutritional pyramid actually, so I don't know what
• 7:10
  your level 1 you're eating. John's going fancy with his
• 7:13
  drink Ware today too. Kinds of upgrades over there at
• 7:17
  the JY house. Is it just regular ass water?
• 7:21
  No, it's pre workout. We're going to we're going to go
• 7:27
  pretty hard on programming after after the show today.
• 7:30
  So. Gotta catch up.
• 7:33
  Huh OK at Mellie B Athlete mound is so good.
• 7:39
  I loved Media Hill too. Yeah, Michelle Van Vanza, John
• 7:47
  popping off. Best episode of 2025.
• 7:51
  This is Talker. This is, this is.
• 7:53
  I feel like it's been so long. Do you feel like this, Tyler?
• 7:56
  What, since we've done a show since?
• 7:58
  Athlete Mound. Yes.
• 8:02
  We did a lot of volume of living in the last few days.
• 8:07
  That's true. I feel like every week is so
• 8:11
  long now I can't remember one week to the next.
• 8:13
  Gotcha, that's. That's fair.
• 8:16
  Corey Leonard. This is prime satire.
• 8:19
  Well done boys. There's no.
• 8:21
  Satire at all. It was 100% honest.
• 8:24
  That's how we always treat everything.
• 8:27
  Phil the pooper. The mound was definitely worth
• 8:30
  the wait. I don't know how long was spent
• 8:32
  on choreography, but it was great.
• 8:34
  Y'all would not believe like what was put into the mount.
• 8:43
  It was literally like. 30 minutes.
• 8:47
  Hey, let's see if we can. Let's do this.
• 8:49
  In the end, it took. Me like 10 minutes to figure out
• 8:52
  who my four were. I don't know how you came up
• 8:54
  with. I think I, I think I put it
• 8:55
  together at 4:00. Yes.
• 8:58
  It was like, hey, any ideas for the show?
• 9:01
  And I was like. Gotcha.
• 9:03
  Let's let's. Parody this and didn't think of
• 9:05
  it till then either. Yeah, I didn't have anything
• 9:08
  prepared and we're like, all right, I'll just go off with it.
• 9:10
  That's what we always do. It's always like 4:00.
• 9:12
  That's when we get our guests lined up.
• 9:14
  So when we do all the graphics, it's it's last minute.
• 9:16
  Professional. I would say so.
• 9:19
  Professional. Houston, TX 94 I'm 27 minutes in
• 9:24
  and there's no eating. I'm about to unsubscribe.
• 9:28
  You got double up on the eating. From Houston too.
• 9:32
  Oh snap, that sounds like a stalker.
• 9:36
  Yeah, be careful out there. And the last one envis 3144
• 9:41
  thoughts on events like crash, not using seedings for the first
• 9:47
  day heats do it hopper style so they are mixed up.
• 9:51
  Could have made for some excellent races so just.
• 9:58
  Maybe the first day doesn't really matter.
• 10:00
  Yeah, I agree as far as far. As seating.
• 10:02
  What heat you're in. Yeah.
• 10:04
  I mean, I get it like it's if you want to put like how you do
• 10:08
  in the open or something like that's the seating, but.
• 10:12
  Yeah, but what this guy's saying, Just throw him into a
• 10:16
  jar and you could be Colton Burton's.
• 10:17
  You get stuck in the first heat. Yeah, I don't think that's, I
• 10:21
  don't agree with that. I think if you're the fittest,
• 10:24
  you're going to win regardless. I mean, we had somebody with
• 10:26
  from the first heat post the winning time.
• 10:29
  Riley, Baby. Yeah.
• 10:31
  So it's, it's, I mean, it's not like a death sentence or
• 10:33
  something. No, but I think you've shown and
• 10:39
  earned your ability to. Be in the last week where you
• 10:43
  did. Get that advantage right like.
• 10:47
  Well, and I and I just think it's, it's if Colton was heat 2
• 10:52
  and Quinn was like heat 1 and then we just see a bunch of
• 10:57
  times that are 3 minutes after these guys.
• 11:00
  Like after that, it takes the, I think it takes the sails out of
• 11:03
  the thing. It's like an undercard for UFC
• 11:07
  or, or boxing or something. Like the last, the last match is
• 11:11
  the best people. Like you're, it's almost like a
• 11:14
  you're you're warming, you're warming everybody up for the
• 11:17
  final, right. I I look at, I look at it like
• 11:19
  that. If it's not like that, like
• 11:22
  that's no fun. Yeah.
• 11:23
  And every once in a while, the undercard is actually the more
• 11:25
  entertaining fight to watch. But you're always looking
• 11:29
  forward to that last one because you expect somebody to do great,
• 11:33
  and sometimes they don't. But yeah, I'd much rather watch
• 11:36
  Colton at the last heat beat the time and see.
• 11:41
  Yeah, yeah. And it's more likely to happen.
• 11:43
  It's more likely to happen for sure.
• 11:45
  That's a good point behind like Kill Taylor, Like you want to
• 11:48
  see the finale last, right? You want to see the best go
• 11:52
  last. I think Taylor should go last on
• 11:54
  Kill Taylor. But he's not getting killed then
• 11:59
  the point is. You're chasing you're you're pre
• 12:02
  killing him. I think he, that's more like
• 12:07
  Taylor tries not to die, like Taylor survives or, or it'd be
• 12:11
  like, Taylor kills, it'd be like The Hunger Games and he kills
• 12:15
  the winning time. You know what I'm saying?
• 12:16
  That's the yeah, yeah, yeah. It'd be more instead of him
• 12:18
  being the prey, it's him being the predator.
• 12:23
  Yeah, that's it. For fewer comments, if you're
• 12:26
  watching this after the fact, drop a comment down below and I
• 12:29
  will pick a few of my favourites for next week, even if they're
• 12:33
  not very nice. Get those comments in.
• 12:36
  That's right for the algorithm. All right, crash recap, Colton
• 12:40
  Mertens big winner Paige Rogers, which I called.
• 12:44
  You did, man. You did.
• 12:46
  Yeah, you should get it was. Obvious, like second event.
• 12:48
  I was like, all right, well, that's over.
• 12:50
  She's back. Yeah.
• 12:52
  When? When An X preg?
• 12:55
  When's the GHD event? You're in trouble.
• 12:57
  X preg. She looked looked strong
• 13:02
  throughout. What you guys think of Crash
• 13:08
  this year compared to previous iterations?
• 13:13
  I saw, I think we've had closer, tighter, more fun races in the
• 13:21
  past, but other than that I thought it was the best crash
• 13:26
  we've ever had. Like, like all the way around,
• 13:29
  the way it flowed, the way the podcast or the way, yeah, the
• 13:34
  the way the commentary went scoring.
• 13:37
  No, like they're like as far as people understanding how the
• 13:40
  scoring work, there were I couldn't think of anybody that
• 13:42
  asked about how did P score where like people are getting
• 13:45
  it. You know, there's always this
• 13:48
  element of I don't know how much you're or how hard somebody's
• 13:55
  going to drop from a bad event. There's always that element to
• 13:57
  it, but nobody's everybody gets it all.
• 14:01
  Like just how it was ran. I I think it was the, I can't
• 14:08
  think of a crash where it was just something was better.
• 14:13
  Anything other than the racist being exciting because they were
• 14:18
  tight. Yeah, I thought, I mean like
• 14:20
  even with the pool of athlete, like there was a few like big
• 14:24
  names. I think we've in the past we've
• 14:25
  had a few bigger names there, like probably one on the men's
• 14:29
  and one on the women's side each, but that's about it.
• 14:33
  But like the the the field got, I think the field got tighter.
• 14:37
  Well, the big names, especially for the women, did not do well
• 14:41
  at all. That was insane.
• 14:43
  You know, Kyra kind of trash for her, right?
• 14:46
  Erica Folo, mega trash for her. Carolyn Stanley, mega trash for
• 14:52
  her. Women who would be in it aren't
• 14:55
  in it. And then it gave.
• 14:57
  But it gave rise to, you know, the Reese Littlewoods, the
• 15:01
  Caitlin Bernardins who are first place after two days.
• 15:04
  Like, I think we had storylines that we weren't used to having.
• 15:10
  It's not a bad thing or a good thing, but it just in the end,
• 15:12
  it made the races not super close.
• 15:14
  The best race was who got third on the women's side, and that
• 15:19
  was between Reece Littlewood, who was like, had some serious
• 15:23
  home runs, and then Samantha Pugh, who was literally the most
• 15:27
  steady person all weekend. Not flashy, but nothing it was.
• 15:33
  Close. Reese went 6th, 5th, 7th, 17th,
• 15:36
  1st, 17th, like those last three events was just a yo-yo.
• 15:41
  Yeah, and for her, the set like, like she looked like she hit
• 15:44
  that first that nobody, nobody saw coming.
• 15:47
  Like she ran like AA115400 meter in the beginning and if people,
• 15:55
  people weren't there, it was like she ran a different route.
• 15:58
  She was 15 seconds ahead of 2nd place by 1400 meter and then
• 16:03
  just held on to it. But then like she had a
• 16:07
  comfortable 3rd place lead. And then her worst event
• 16:12
  finishes event 6. And then and you know, Samantha
• 16:15
  Pugh just stays steady. And it made that that drama was
• 16:18
  very close. But other than that, everybody
• 16:21
  was kind of set in stone. That sucks for Samantha, I feel
• 16:24
  like because she kind of just stayed steady the whole
• 16:27
  competition. She didn't really get a ton of
• 16:30
  light shed on her as like she really did do great the entire
• 16:33
  competition. Yeah, she was.
• 16:35
  She had a fifth, three ninths, a 10th and 11th.
• 16:38
  She literally Chris, I borrowed it all the way in.
• 16:41
  I bet Chris I borrowed, but she Chris I borrowed it.
• 16:47
  Abara would have done the same. He was 17th, 6th, 4th, 7th, 5th,
• 16:50
  7th so. So in the 17th he failed his
• 16:54
  squat clean twice. He was 3 minutes slower in that
• 16:59
  workout than he was in the first workout and then in training,
• 17:03
  and it's just because he went for it and failed and then
• 17:08
  failed again. You give him 10th place and then
• 17:12
  he's second, right? But, but he didn't.
• 17:15
  But that's the fun about fun about the sport.
• 17:18
  Nate Ackerman doesn't twist his ankle.
• 17:20
  He's probably got something to say, too.
• 17:23
  Yeah, what's that? P score live yes, so and and
• 17:31
  John, last year I was a little bit more on the pod, like I
• 17:34
  didn't have a spot on the podcast, but I would come on
• 17:36
  more. I was sitting closer last year.
• 17:39
  This this year I was kind of like broken away a little bit
• 17:41
  more. So last year I was like feeding
• 17:44
  you guys stats about and like I didn't really truly understand
• 17:49
  reading like the points per second and stuff.
• 17:51
  I thought you were going to say peace score.
• 17:53
  I was. I didn't really.
• 17:55
  Understand the guy who invented peace score.
• 17:58
  I had never really thought to break it down to like points per
• 18:00
  second and look at it that way, and so last year was my first
• 18:04
  year doing that. This year there's a lot more on
• 18:05
  it, but the problem was it was too far away.
• 18:08
  And so going into like that last event, like my eyes were just on
• 18:11
  3rd the whole time and I was like Reese was just slipping and
• 18:14
  slipping and slipping. And then I was like on the fly.
• 18:17
  I was able to say this is probably her floor before she
• 18:21
  loses 3rd. And then I could have fed that
• 18:24
  into you. The other thing like so we could
• 18:27
  actually do P score live at the games.
• 18:30
  They have these little counters like the the Rep counters are
• 18:33
  these they're on tablets. The problem is they would need
• 18:36
  to be accurate, but you could have like a live P score of that
• 18:41
  event on screen. So anyway.
• 18:45
  But what would it how would that work?
• 18:49
  Because it would be based off of say like the first heats top
• 18:53
  score and then when the first person crosses that would like,
• 18:59
  I probably somebody wins, right? Like Paige wins and it's like it
• 19:02
  readjusts everything. It would be like a big quick
• 19:05
  jump, right? Right.
• 19:06
  I, I probably wouldn't do it. Like what you could do is you
• 19:09
  could take like who had the best split at like the first round,
• 19:14
  the second round and the third round and then like base it off
• 19:17
  of that. That way you don't have to wait
• 19:18
  all the way till somebody's over.
• 19:21
  And the other thing is, is like the pacesetter is generally
• 19:24
  going to be in the first heat. So they'll probably keep 100 the
• 19:27
  whole time. Like based on this trend,
• 19:28
  they're they're holding 100. I could make it work.
• 19:31
  It would just need some trial and error.
• 19:33
  Yeah. But yeah.
• 19:35
  It's possible. Getting back to the athletes,
• 19:37
  What do you make of Kyra, Erica, Caroline not doing well?
• 19:50
  I'm I'm. I'm done.
• 19:53
  You're done. I'm done with them.
• 19:58
  That's not what you make of it. That's what.
• 20:00
  You, that's what I make of it. I, I am not going to pick any
• 20:05
  three of those women to do high again until they until they do
• 20:09
  it. That's nothing and that's no
• 20:13
  shade to them. You have earned me not picking
• 20:17
  you high. OK, Erica.
• 20:22
  I feel like I've gotten irrationally burned where it's
• 20:26
  like it's my fault. You're taking responsibility
• 20:30
  now. Yeah, yeah, right.
• 20:33
  Kyra, I think it's a little bit a little bit of her fault.
• 20:36
  I think game day execution, like I think she's better than what
• 20:41
  she did. Erica, like we all got hyped on
• 20:46
  her on semi finals. Yolo Folo was invented.
• 20:50
  She was really close to making it.
• 20:53
  She's got a little bit of Christopher in her little bit,
• 20:58
  just a little bit. And and I just I love Erica
• 21:03
  Folo. I think I just see her
• 21:05
  potential, but I'm not going to pick her.
• 21:07
  I'm not going to pick her high ever again until she does it.
• 21:10
  And I'm OK with being wrong when she does it, but I'm just, I'm
• 21:15
  not. I'm not touching her.
• 21:17
  We've had last year's Wadapalooza semifinals and now
• 21:23
  this like 3. The last three in person
• 21:26
  competitions have been a major let down from where we thought
• 21:30
  she would be. Yeah, and and like we own, like
• 21:34
  Kyra is not as much of a let down like as Eric at all.
• 21:37
  Like I mean, she's been successful.
• 21:39
  She's been to the game, she's made it right, but at least in
• 21:44
  Crash, she she, she tends to finish lower than at least where
• 21:49
  I think she'll finish. I think she would agree with
• 21:53
  that too, but I'm not going to speak for her.
• 21:56
  I'm sure she thought she would have done better.
• 21:58
  Carolyn Stanley, I feel like, I feel like we never said her
• 22:03
  name. No.
• 22:04
  We didn't. You know, at least Kyra had a
• 22:06
  couple. Like she's just, she's out in
• 22:09
  front and then she died or she didn't do as well as we thought
• 22:12
  she was going to do. Or like, like she tried come out
• 22:15
  hot sometimes and it just kind of blew up on I don't think we
• 22:18
  said Carolyn Stanley once. Not in a positive light.
• 22:24
  But like, even like, she's in heat too.
• 22:27
  Yeah, that was when I, yeah, that's probably when I said her
• 22:30
  name was like, what the hell is Carolyn Stanley doing in this
• 22:34
  heat? And.
• 22:34
  What's funny is I feels like she's 12th.
• 22:36
  It feels like she finished so much lower than 12th.
• 22:40
  I mean, she only had one she. Only had one event that was
• 22:43
  actually bad. Notable.
• 22:45
  No good. Notable 4th like 3 right there
• 22:49
  in the middle and against this field as a games level athlete
• 22:53
  you should have more top 10 finishes and 24th and 26th like.
• 23:01
  I guess so. Event 2 was the was what the?
• 23:06
  GHD. The GHD, that one can make sense
• 23:10
  if you're just not used to training the the parallette
• 23:15
  walk, the parallel bars walk, and then the other one being the
• 23:21
  24th. Like if you get rid of those two
• 23:24
  and bring them up, she's not really in a bad spot.
• 23:29
  So the 24 was what? If you take rid of and.
• 23:33
  Get rid of her. Bad of what?
• 23:35
  I'm saying is. Is that like?
• 23:37
  Well, vulgatory was event. It was event 5.
• 23:40
  I don't think you can just say if you get better at that one
• 23:43
  because that one's such a discrepancy, right.
• 23:46
  Like you can't just be like, man, if I just get better at peg
• 23:49
  boards. No, like that's a hard thing to
• 23:50
  get better at, right, right. The P bar traverse I think you
• 23:54
  can solve rather. Quickly you can get better at
• 23:56
  that and then it's easy to be like not prepared for it I guess
• 24:00
  is what I'm saying. The other ones, not really.
• 24:02
  And so it's not. But barring those two which are
• 24:06
  are skill dependent, she's OK. She's 7th place, yeah.
• 24:11
  How did how did Carolyn do on the ring muscle UPS?
• 24:16
  So I don't think, I mean, I can't remember.
• 24:19
  I feel like that's where you're going to lose a lot of your
• 24:20
  time. It's that the P bar will steal
• 24:24
  because you can go so fast at it if you're good at it, but if
• 24:27
  you're not, you'll go so slow. You saw this with Erica.
• 24:31
  Like I, I can't, I don't even remember watching anyone else
• 24:35
  because I was watching Erica. She looked she looked just as
• 24:38
  bad as I looked doing the P bars and my and my P bars look really
• 24:42
  bad, like they're just muscle city like and she Tyler, did she
• 24:45
  look any better than me doing it?
• 24:47
  And I had never done one. It's just me, muscle.
• 24:49
  Yeah, she looked like she had no idea what she was doing, no idea
• 24:54
  which she might not have because it's not a normal thing to
• 24:57
  train. That was something that John
• 24:59
  Wood talked about was that like a lot of the implements there
• 25:03
  are just not used in normal training.
• 25:07
  You should expose yourself to him, but I could see you not at
• 25:09
  this point. Let's give a shout out to John
• 25:12
  Woods podcast real quick 'cause I, I gave it a listen to you.
• 25:16
  I'm a big John Wood fan. I got to be honest, I did other
• 25:20
  than, you know, numbers on a sheet, didn't really know a ton
• 25:24
  about him. Like obviously I've watched him
• 25:25
  compete but didn't know really a ton about him and I think he's a
• 25:30
  cool guy. He gets my approval.
• 25:32
  I might not predict him to place higher, but I think he's a cool
• 25:35
  guy. Hell, listening to John talk, I
• 25:37
  don't think he would predict himself to get.
• 25:39
  Out No, I think he's I think it's an honest dude, you know
• 25:43
  what I mean? He's got a Hunter McIntyre body
• 25:47
  like the way his body is, he's got like this thick upper body
• 25:51
  and then he's got like these like gazelle looking leg like.
• 25:54
  It's like it's a little bit of an awkward body, but it's a,
• 25:59
  it's a Hunter McIntyre to a tee. I can't get him out of my mind
• 26:02
  when I when I watch masters divisions which.
• 26:07
  There he. Is it's cool, could this was
• 26:10
  like I was expecting the worst when I pulled this up.
• 26:13
  This happened to roll across my algorithm last night.
• 26:17
  He posted a clip, I guess and then so I was like, well hell,
• 26:20
  I'll watch. He was talking about Crash and
• 26:23
  it was like a really like, not only was it positive about
• 26:26
  Crash, but it was a really thoughtful review of.
• 26:29
  Like like like yes, yes, it wasn't just this is my
• 26:34
  experience. This is like just really thought
• 26:37
  out responses. His bit about comparing crash to
• 26:42
  like a regionals or or not even a regionals but like
• 26:46
  quarterfinals, he was like, you might go to 1 and bomb and go to
• 26:51
  the other one and do great because they're so different in
• 26:53
  the way they're programmed. I was like, I've not really
• 26:55
  heard many people make that point yet.
• 26:57
  I mean, it is obvious, but like people aren't really talking
• 27:00
  about it. Yeah, straight fitness versus
• 27:04
  skilled fitness. Yeah, I mean, we've kind of
• 27:06
  talked about it, like certain athletes don't have to worry
• 27:09
  about it, but a lot do, right? Right.
• 27:12
  Like, you know, there's only a handful of athletes where it
• 27:14
  doesn't really matter what comes out.
• 27:16
  You know, they're going to do well.
• 27:18
  But like, even think about James Sprague at Mayhem Classic last
• 27:22
  year. I mean, yeah, he kind of said in
• 27:25
  his own show, or I think on The Boys Interrupted, that he may
• 27:28
  not even go back to to Mayhem if it's going to be the same, first
• 27:32
  of all, if Mayhem's back this year or next year.
• 27:35
  Which I don't think so. But if they are like and it's
• 27:39
  going to be the same type of programming, does it make any
• 27:41
  sense for him to even show up? Probably not.
• 27:46
  Right, 'cause like, it's not, it's not his best programming
• 27:50
  and taking third is not good enough.
• 27:56
  So why, why do that one? Yeah, go, go somewhere else
• 28:00
  where you feel like you have more opportunities and to to
• 28:05
  succeed. Crossfat.
• 28:09
  He's more articulate than I expected.
• 28:11
  Same. You can check out my Instagram I
• 28:13
  I did a little clip of his smear campaign on the video prior to
• 28:17
  this. Just a coordinated smear
• 28:19
  campaign. We coordinated with John despite
• 28:22
  having never met. Never seen it all 65 subscribers
• 28:25
  but yeah. We're going deep.
• 28:29
  We're going to the podcast that I have almost no subscribers, so
• 28:32
  we're getting them involved now. Yeah, the groundswell.
• 28:36
  Ed but spin, shouldn't that push James to be better overall?
• 28:41
  For sure. But when it's your season and.
• 28:43
  It comes to making the games. You got to make the games you
• 28:45
  got. To.
• 28:46
  Make the games, right? Like that's like, you know,
• 28:51
  sending Rebecca Fusile to Rogue Invitational and saying that's
• 28:53
  how you have to qualify for the games.
• 28:55
  Probably not her best interest, right?
• 28:57
  Go to Wadapalooza if that was one of them.
• 28:59
  Like that she could qualify out of Wadapalooza better than she
• 29:02
  could if she went to to Rogue, right?
• 29:08
  She knows she needs to get stronger, but like, you got to
• 29:10
  pick and choose where you go. You can't be Hannah Black and
• 29:14
  just go to every one of them, so.
• 29:17
  Nick Matthew goes to TFX. I know he lives there, but if
• 29:22
  Nick Matthew didn't go to the Fittest experience, I don't
• 29:24
  think he's making it he. Didn't live there at TFX.
• 29:28
  I'm saying he regional North America West.
• 29:31
  Yeah, yeah, yeah. He was able to go to TFX.
• 29:33
  You can't pick better programming for him.
• 29:35
  Yeah, he wouldn't have, he wouldn't have done it in
• 29:37
  Syndicate. So I I mean watching Crash from
• 29:43
  home it. Was good, Yeah.
• 29:44
  How was it? How was it?
• 29:46
  Yeah, to you. Yeah, it was good.
• 29:48
  I mean, I think, too vulgar. Dude, I feel like we were
• 29:51
  freaking. I caught, I caught Sivan's first
• 29:54
  F word, and that was like an hour or two into the show.
• 29:57
  I think, oh, that's good he made it that far.
• 29:59
  Yeah, he wasn't on the first part of it, I think.
• 30:06
  No, I thought the camera work was good.
• 30:09
  Souza was murdering it with the the multi screen like the little
• 30:13
  corner screens. Right.
• 30:15
  Yeah, there's only a few times I think that you guys were talking
• 30:17
  about somebody and they didn't have them on the screen, like
• 30:19
  trying to follow it, but you know.
• 30:23
  And that's a bit of a skill. It's, it's harder than people
• 30:25
  think because you weak you, you can't communicate with the
• 30:30
  camera guys like they're not plugged into what you're saying.
• 30:33
  So, and like with Hamilton Road, like they are like you can, you
• 30:39
  can kind of talk to the camera guys to go somewhere.
• 30:42
  We can't. Like it's literally me like
• 30:44
  pointing to an athlete and then like if we need to look at
• 30:47
  somebody. And so if we see it and then we
• 30:50
  jump out and say it really. I mean, if I jump out and say
• 30:52
  it, it's just 'cause it just happened.
• 30:55
  I just saw it. And if the camera's not, you
• 30:57
  have to wait for the camera to get there and then say it.
• 31:00
  It's, it's harder than people think, but it is a skill and I,
• 31:07
  I know I'm not perfect at it, but I feel like we're getting
• 31:09
  better and better. It's crazy considering.
• 31:12
  We don't have comms how well we pull it off.
• 31:16
  Yeah, like you like Caleb, Caleb and Peter definitely find a like
• 31:21
  a flow at a certain point and they're like got it.
• 31:23
  And then there's like the things you guys don't see is between
• 31:25
  heats, you know, they'll come back and Sue's like coaching
• 31:28
  them up, like be here, you know? Get all right, like pan out
• 31:31
  where you get 3 people. That way there's a better shot
• 31:34
  at us being able to see things happen.
• 31:38
  Taylor Taylor W The Internet was way better this year.
• 31:40
  Not glitchy, which I don't know if you guys tuned into their
• 31:43
  tests like they were doing a lot of stuff on the fly, but like I
• 31:48
  mean, the amount of equipment and technology that they have to
• 31:52
  make sure that it's pulling a good consistent stream
• 31:55
  throughout is pretty crazy. Yeah, I remember when we were
• 32:00
  getting that system, it was like, holy shit, we've got to
• 32:03
  talk to every cell phone tower in the fucking tri-state area
• 32:07
  and all that shit. I didn't even know that they had
• 32:09
  that type of technology. I mean, it makes sense, but
• 32:11
  like, I just can't believe that we have it now.
• 32:14
  Well, I think how crazy it is that some podcasters can pull
• 32:18
  that together. I know it's expensive, but in
• 32:20
  the scheme of things it's not to be able to do that.
• 32:24
  And like, you know, that probably was not even possible
• 32:27
  five years ago. No, that's that's affordable
• 32:30
  anyway. Well, yeah, I was getting to say
• 32:31
  it would have been possible five years ago.
• 32:33
  It'd been, you know, $35,000 to get the piece of equipment we
• 32:36
  have now. Right.
• 32:39
  So and then I think I really want to pull this up.
• 32:44
  Let's see. And we want to talk about the
• 32:46
  athletes before we do that because I feel like we didn't
• 32:48
  really, we kind of talked really about the athletes.
• 32:50
  At all, Erica, I wanted to talk about Erica a little.
• 32:53
  Bit I would like to talk about the good ones too.
• 32:55
  You know the good ones. I just couldn't I, I feel a bit
• 33:00
  bit like you do, John, Like I, I got, I got on the Erica train
• 33:05
  and it's not paying off and I'm going to try too hard to do this
• 33:10
  without doing it. But like, she was a racehorse
• 33:17
  and now she's not a racehorse, but she's still the same horse
• 33:23
  she was, but she's not racing no more.
• 33:25
  Yeah. What's changed?
• 33:29
  She changed. She changed coaches.
• 33:31
  I know that. I'm not saying that's why she
• 33:32
  did bad or anything like that, but I'm just she did change
• 33:37
  coaches. I don't even know what happened
• 33:40
  to her old coach changed Emma. Emma Lawson's changed coaches as
• 33:44
  well, you know. There are a smorgasbord of
• 33:48
  coaches out there. That's.
• 33:56
  It OK. Do you not like Drew?
• 33:59
  I I have no feelings about Drew, but like I'm just looking at it
• 34:03
  realistically. I'm like, dude, you were almost
• 34:06
  to the games and like she looked solid.
• 34:09
  I got to turn these reactions off.
• 34:12
  She looks solid getting ready to go to the games and then, you
• 34:14
  know, failed that lunge. But she looked like she had no
• 34:18
  holes. And then like all that I've seen
• 34:20
  from her lately is like, what? Do you know how to do this?
• 34:24
  Do you know how to work out? Yeah, she got it.
• 34:27
  She what the She's just not good at adapting on the fly.
• 34:32
  You know, you give her just CrossFit and a lot of reps and
• 34:35
  just go like I bet like a 20 minute AM rap or whatever.
• 34:39
  I think she murders. But whenever it's like, oh, I
• 34:42
  haven't felt this before, I have to figure it out.
• 34:47
  She's she's not great. Yeah, it was the.
• 34:50
  Problem with that is go ahead spin.
• 34:52
  It was painful to watch Hiller's video of her trying to learn the
• 34:56
  the flip sled like that was. The problem with that is that is
• 35:04
  probably not going to change. Like it's hard to train that you
• 35:10
  either are really good at figuring stuff out or you're not
• 35:14
  good at it. And it's you don't, you can't
• 35:17
  train that. That's just kind of like an
• 35:19
  athletic of pullovers. That's my point.
• 35:22
  That's my point. Like he's not good at figuring
• 35:25
  that particular thing. Yeah.
• 35:27
  Just it just, it doesn't just happen.
• 35:29
  For him, we didn't have pullovers last.
• 35:30
  Year but it's taken him three years to figure out how to do a
• 35:35
  muscle up on a lock three years, you know, and.
• 35:41
  They still don't know if he's going to be good compared to the
• 35:43
  field. Yeah, he just knows how now.
• 35:46
  I would say Jason is is selective in the things that
• 35:49
  it's hard for him to figure out because you give him something
• 35:53
  athletic or like a the sled or whatever.
• 35:55
  He could never touch that before ever in his life.
• 35:57
  You. Get an odd object and he's going
• 35:59
  to do fine. If it's I bet you odd
• 36:01
  gymnastics, it's that's a different story.
• 36:04
  Yeah. I can't I can't remember.
• 36:06
  Did did Folo have any type of athletic background prior to
• 36:10
  starting CrossFit? I don't I.
• 36:12
  Feel like the answer is yes, but I can't.
• 36:13
  I'm not certain. She yeah, I think, yeah, I mean,
• 36:17
  I just wrestling's in my mind because she did the wrestling
• 36:20
  thing. But I feel like 100% she had an
• 36:25
  athletic background, like a a good one.
• 36:28
  I'm maybe track a lot of them. A lot of them are tracked.
• 36:33
  Yeah. I feel like she'd be more
• 36:35
  athletic than athletic. Though.
• 36:37
  Like a hurdle or? You mean like a real sport?
• 36:41
  Yeah, like this, just running. Like, yeah, you're going to be
• 36:42
  good at running if that's what she did.
• 36:45
  I'm thinking, like, Danielle Brandon's very athletic and she
• 36:47
  did pole vault. Like, you know, there's
• 36:49
  athletic. And gymnastics, right like that,
• 36:52
  Body awareness adapting. PC is saying that she was a
• 37:01
  sprinter also a track * like you think about like something like
• 37:08
  Dallin who played football. You have all these other
• 37:12
  athletes who have a wide range of things they've done and then
• 37:18
  they go to CrossFit and they can pull up, pull from those versus
• 37:22
  some of these kids that that's all they have been doing is they
• 37:26
  found CrossFit when they're younger and they just do
• 37:28
  CrossFit. They weren't athletic before
• 37:30
  that and they're fit and they can do a barbell thruster, but
• 37:37
  the minute you throw something weird on there, I.
• 37:40
  Mean, look at Dallin, like he played, he played football all
• 37:44
  the way through school and then moved into CrossFit.
• 37:47
  He's still doing CrossFit at the time, but like he was doing that
• 37:50
  and then moved into, I think he still recommends that.
• 37:52
  That yeah point his senior years still play football like
• 37:56
  CrossFit was the end all be all. But like, I'm going to play
• 38:00
  football is senior year even though we like CrossFit more
• 38:03
  like made a point to do it. Yeah.
• 38:08
  No, I think there are a lot of people who just grow up doing
• 38:11
  CrossFit that are end up being very unathletic because that's
• 38:14
  all they know. Yeah, they've mastered the basic
• 38:18
  skills and they're fitter than others, but like it when it gets
• 38:22
  to crash level competition, especially the way that Jr.
• 38:27
  programs you, you can't plan on doing the same basic movements.
• 38:31
  Yeah, yeah, he's going to. He's going to have A twist on it
• 38:34
  every single time. I was happy with how I was able
• 38:37
  to handle the flip slip by the way.
• 38:39
  Yeah, dude, you did great. I was.
• 38:41
  I was pleasantly surprised. I thought I I told like when we
• 38:46
  tore toying with it, I was like, Tyler, you might have trouble on
• 38:51
  the llama. Like it was hard.
• 38:53
  It was. It was.
• 38:54
  It was. It was watching, watching you do
• 38:57
  that one live. That was by far the hardest.
• 39:00
  I was like, it is, it is heavy. And he goes, dude, I'm nervous
• 39:04
  about the sled. I'm like, you'll be able to flip
• 39:06
  the sled. The flip sled is is not, you're
• 39:08
  going to be fine. Like you don't have to, like
• 39:10
  it's going to take you a minute, but you're going to be fine.
• 39:12
  That's that pool sled. It was just.
• 39:15
  I don't know if you're going to be able to do it you.
• 39:19
  I moved it fine. No, no.
• 39:20
  You did. You did you hurt?
• 39:21
  You did it. Just was not fun at all.
• 39:24
  It just sucked the entire time. The flip sled was fun.
• 39:28
  We put the weights on there and like, and I just kind of leaned
• 39:32
  into it to see if it would move and it didn't move.
• 39:34
  Yeah, all right. I got to, I got to and then got
• 39:38
  it going. And but like, and once you get
• 39:40
  it going, you're fine. But like it took it was, it was
• 39:44
  heavy. And then I, I had Andrew, I was
• 39:47
  like, you want to see if you can move it.
• 39:49
  He goes and I'm like, it's harder than it looks to get
• 39:52
  started. Once you get going, you're fine.
• 39:53
  But I mean, it's heavy and he goes, it just got stuck.
• 40:00
  Like he was like, oh, shoot. And then like kind of like
• 40:04
  really gave it into it. And then finally, and then he
• 40:06
  then he got it going after that. But it's just it's harder than
• 40:09
  it than you originally think. And then once you get it going,
• 40:13
  you're fine. It's heavy, like when three
• 40:15
  coaches get on the the, you know, the offensive line slid.
• 40:18
  You're like, Oh my God, we can't.
• 40:21
  There's no way we push this thing.
• 40:23
  Did you guys do all six of them? I did.
• 40:27
  I missed the run when I run out of time.
• 40:29
  He missed the one workout that he was going to beat me probably
• 40:34
  like. I got my feelings hurt.
• 40:37
  Did you score it? No, I don't.
• 40:41
  Have it. I haven't scored it.
• 40:43
  I got John Hurt my feelings on on the the P bar.
• 40:50
  We're not, we're not talking about the end of end of the
• 40:53
  crash. We'll get.
• 40:53
  We'll get. No.
• 40:54
  He beat me at the P bar and so like I just sat there for like 5
• 40:59
  minutes. Bill's pissed because he's
• 41:01
  hungry as shit and I'm just sitting here crying, licking my
• 41:03
  wounds like I have gotten really unfit during having.
• 41:06
  It was a it was a. Little bit of a pep talk moment.
• 41:09
  Yeah, it was. I was fucking dead desperate.
• 41:12
  So John beat me and everything straight up.
• 41:16
  He killed me so. I came.
• 41:19
  John beat you. And I, I trained with this girl
• 41:22
  who's that Paige simends as their coach.
• 41:24
  And I was like, guess what, I'm using your ass to get fit again.
• 41:27
  Like we got to start training so.
• 41:30
  But a fire is lit, right? Fire is lit.
• 41:33
  Thank you, John. That's you're welcome.
• 41:35
  Next year, next year, you'll take I.
• 41:36
  Could tell John was nervous. I'll see.
• 41:38
  I'll see you in quarter. John was sitting there, he's
• 41:42
  quiet like the whole time. The first round of that P bar, I
• 41:45
  came off in 3 minutes and I looked at him and Bill when I
• 41:48
  was on my way back to the the ring muscle up.
• 41:50
  So I was like, I guess I'm not finishing.
• 41:52
  Yeah, I yeah, after it I well, I just, it was a hard workout for
• 41:57
  me and like I'm just I'm not good at the P bar trover.
• 42:02
  I just don't have one right. And I knew I was going to be
• 42:06
  great at it, but and I just assumed Tyler would beat me at
• 42:09
  that. I think Tyler did too.
• 42:12
  And then I knew you would beat me.
• 42:14
  Although senior pegboard. I don't, I don't know if you
• 42:16
  would or not, because I was going to get one pegboard.
• 42:19
  I was going to get one, but I, I will see, I will see that one to
• 42:25
  you just because I was going to be really slow no matter what.
• 42:29
  And then after the first round, he was like on the exact same
• 42:33
  pace that I was on, you know, And then I then I was like, I
• 42:38
  thought he'd be a little bit quicker than that.
• 42:40
  My GH CS got so slow. It was it was really weird.
• 42:44
  We were like exactly opposite in the way that like what caught us
• 42:48
  because the P board for me was like pretty steady the whole
• 42:50
  time. He was much better P bars than
• 42:52
  mine. But then my GHD, like I had to
• 42:55
  stop twice. I think a lot of it for me was
• 42:57
  like travel, 'cause I traveled the weekend before, travel this
• 42:59
  weekend, and then I basically drank no water.
• 43:02
  And he did that at the end of the day, like I think if he did
• 43:05
  that under the the same, the same circumstances that I did it
• 43:12
  in, like he would have beat me by a couple reps.
• 43:15
  It was. It was.
• 43:16
  It would have been close but he would have beat me by a couple
• 43:18
  if I think under the same circumstances.
• 43:20
  It was kick in the ass I needed. But it's, I mean, and then the,
• 43:24
  the rest of it, the programming's just, I mean, if
• 43:27
  you could build it for me, yeah. Like I was going to be good at
• 43:30
  those workouts. Speaking of good athletes,
• 43:33
  Colton wins it, but it was not. It wasn't as convincing.
• 43:39
  I mean it, it was still 75 points or whatever, but.
• 43:42
  Yeah, but fifty of those came from the final event.
• 43:44
  I it doesn't matter. It is what it is, but I think we
• 43:48
  got to talk about Quinn, that he's the reason it wasn't.
• 43:52
  If Quinn isn't there, what is it, Tyler?
• 43:56
  What do you mean if Quinn isn't there?
• 43:58
  How much does Colton win by if Quinn's not there?
• 44:01
  He would have been. I mean, he it was over, Sam de
• 44:06
  Meester, it was 413. To five 1988 points.
• 44:10
  Yeah, so it's still not still not crazy, but.
• 44:13
  Not as crazy as last year, which is nuts.
• 44:16
  Because one more event. There was one more event.
• 44:19
  Last year was one more, but but you have Taylor and Chris like
• 44:24
  they're full throttle, like Chris didn't have the mistake
• 44:27
  that he had this year and and Taylor was great, you know what
• 44:31
  I mean? So.
• 44:32
  Do you think Colton like just didn't try as hard in training
• 44:35
  leading up to this? No, I think the workouts just
• 44:39
  are like he's he's rogue, Rogue, Rogue is in two weeks, man.
• 44:43
  He's doing rogue I I think. No, I just think the workouts
• 44:46
  were better for him last year even though he had.
• 44:50
  Three, I don't think he yeah, last year I think he had major
• 44:53
  home runs. This year he was good, but it
• 44:55
  wasn't like, was it last year somebody he got like first and
• 44:59
  something like everybody else got what, like 70 points or less
• 45:03
  for second place? I think he had three events that
• 45:05
  were like the last event last year.
• 45:09
  Right. And then him and Taylor, like
• 45:13
  Taylor beat him in event one, the ring, muscle up, dumbbell
• 45:15
  snatch, dumbbell cleaner, jerk event, they were a second apart
• 45:20
  and Taylor 1, he was there. So like, that's 99 points that
• 45:23
  he gets, and him and Taylor were both way ahead of everybody
• 45:26
  else. So it's almost a home run even
• 45:29
  though he got beat at the end. Yeah, Crossfat, don't you need
• 45:32
  to repeat score it without Quinn yes technically yes, because he
• 45:37
  took two first place if you took if you take him if you didn't
• 45:40
  win those you. That's too much work around to.
• 45:43
  But no, we don't. Actually, technically I could
• 45:45
  just delete his line. OK.
• 45:47
  Do you want to do that? You want to see are are we able
• 45:50
  to do mine on here quickly or no?
• 45:53
  It would be 533 versus 440 Sam de Meester.
• 45:58
  So it's still not it's 9093. They both gain points.
• 46:03
  I can't. I can't do yours easy.
• 46:05
  I have to like. You got to input all the stuff.
• 46:07
  Right put input all the. Stuff I'm just curious about if
• 46:10
  I'm last or not. I don't think I was.
• 46:12
  Happy. I don't think I'm last either.
• 46:15
  I was happy to talk with totally the the prop bets what came out.
• 46:21
  Dude. You were like pretty close.
• 46:23
  Nailed Yeah, your props were spot on.
• 46:25
  This is the first competition and Tyler, I know we talked
• 46:28
  about having like a a yearly heat 1 score like that keeps
• 46:34
  track of everything. And this was the first
• 46:38
  competition. I didn't do the full thing.
• 46:41
  Yeah, like like crash, crash got the best of me and I missed, I
• 46:46
  missed the 5th event. And then I was like, well, that
• 46:48
  sucks. This.
• 46:49
  Year for us felt busier, like somehow.
• 46:53
  If I felt like I was never stopping, I didn't.
• 46:56
  You didn't. So much so I couldn't like
• 47:01
  control my emotions when I found out knowledge.
• 47:05
  Is that right? Is that is that what happened?
• 47:08
  He just just, you know, the pat my passion got to me.
• 47:12
  I was, I was curious what this was going on because I wasn't
• 47:16
  there obviously, but. About it when they're, when
• 47:21
  they're. Finishing.
• 47:22
  No, they're leaving. I don't.
• 47:24
  Care. OK, he knew already.
• 47:27
  Why are you guys fighting? I want to know where you guys
• 47:28
  are fighting. John's fucking texting people
• 47:30
  scores. No, oh shit, I'm not.
• 47:34
  Tyler's freaking out for no reason.
• 47:36
  Anyway. He is friends with Grant.
• 47:38
  He is friends with Grant. Not stop.
• 47:45
  That's all. That's all.
• 47:48
  It's. Actually thinking about it when
• 47:50
  they're when they're finishing. Don't.
• 47:52
  They're leaving. I don't.
• 47:53
  Care. We just go on again.
• 47:57
  It's taking on replay. I will not look at the scores
• 48:03
  anymore. What's the shitty is this Taylor
• 48:10
  text me no less than like 3 minutes before that.
• 48:14
  What are the scores? What's going on?
• 48:17
  I'm like. Just.
• 48:18
  Fuck off dude. So can I say the full story and
• 48:23
  then am I allowed to say that? We want to rehash it.
• 48:27
  No, no, no. But no, the the people don't.
• 48:30
  No, no, no. I'm on your stance.
• 48:32
  I'm on your stance. All right, but I'm telling you
• 48:35
  that way the because people don't know I'm I'm just going to
• 48:40
  say it all, all the whole thing. Chris I Barr's team, they were
• 48:47
  pretty confident that he was in fourth.
• 48:49
  He didn't even beat Sam. He beat Sam by like 10 seconds
• 48:53
  or the him and Sam were very close on the last workout and he
• 48:56
  needed to beat Sam by like a Colton Merton's desk time for
• 49:00
  the last event to get third. The race was not close at all.
• 49:05
  If it was about the women, it. Was close.
• 49:08
  Though I, I wouldn't, I wouldn't say anything, but we knew, we
• 49:10
  knew 'cause they finished right next to each other.
• 49:12
  Like we knew. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 49:14
  And, and he was like, hey, I know Chris is like 99% fourth
• 49:18
  his coach, but can you confirm it, 'cause we're going to the
• 49:22
  airport right now. He's going, he's catching a
• 49:24
  flight right now. And I was like, sure, I'll let
• 49:26
  you know whenever I know. Hour goes by, scores come in, I
• 49:30
  text him. Confirmed 4th and then that's
• 49:33
  what Tyler like freaked out about.
• 49:35
  He had he had he had acted like I just set everybody's score and
• 49:39
  just and took to grant or something.
• 49:42
  It wasn't it was it was and I but for the sanctity of like
• 49:50
  knowledge, I I am in the wrong. I get excited.
• 49:57
  Yeah, I'm very passionate. I like, I like figuring it out
• 50:01
  before anybody else. With P score, I can't do that.
• 50:05
  But it is Tyler's thing. I'm just not.
• 50:08
  I'm just going to find out when everybody else finds out, even
• 50:11
  though that was something I already knew that I texted so
• 50:15
  generally. I wouldn't care.
• 50:17
  But like Jr. last heat of the men.
• 50:20
  So it was men and women, right? Yeah.
• 50:23
  Last heat of the men. He goes.
• 50:25
  No one knows. Don't tell anybody who won what
• 50:29
  they got nothing. I was like, OK, I mean, I was
• 50:33
  debating not telling Wilson and he was making graphics like I
• 50:37
  was. I just if Jr.
• 50:38
  Says you know what's crazy? You know what's crazy?
• 50:41
  What? I I found out that he had
• 50:43
  already told him before I even said anything.
• 50:48
  But that's JRS. 'Cause they were leaving, you
• 50:49
  know what I mean? Like that's what they weren't
• 50:51
  there. Like I was like, this isn't
• 50:53
  going to matter. Like, but it's OK.
• 50:57
  But anyway, so I was like, I don't care.
• 51:00
  I'm not fucking telling anybody. And then I sit down and this is
• 51:05
  where I it's like, it's my fault because I know John has a
• 51:08
  weakness and he wants to see it. And I should have closed the
• 51:12
  laptop and I didn't close the laptop.
• 51:14
  So it really is my fault. But yeah, in the.
• 51:18
  It's not your fault. I just when we when P score is
• 51:21
  the thing, I don't need to look at it.
• 51:24
  I'm OK with not being trusted with scores with that.
• 51:29
  I think I just I get too excited.
• 51:32
  I don't I don't want to know. I like, I'm going to like shade
• 51:35
  myself because I don't want to know.
• 51:38
  I. By the way, I want to reiterate,
• 51:41
  if it was close, I didn't, I wouldn't have said anything to
• 51:44
  anybody because it's, you know, for the like Reese, finding out
• 51:48
  that she won was awesome. That was cool.
• 51:51
  Hey, it echoes, it echoes. Can you leave it open, please?
• 51:54
  Thank you. Like it's it echoes when the
• 51:56
  doors are closed, but hey, come. Here it echoes.
• 52:00
  Regardless, search, give me, give me a kiss.
• 52:02
  Some people said that I was I was too mean to you so.
• 52:06
  All right. All right.
• 52:09
  No, no, no, no. It's OK.
• 52:14
  Don't make me a sandwich. I'm trying to make it better.
• 52:18
  That's a joke, Internet. But please make me a sandwich.
• 52:21
  I don't. I don't need sandwiches.
• 52:26
  But Reese finding out that she won was one of the highlights of
• 52:29
  Crash. Or I got third was one of the
• 52:31
  highlights of Crash 'cause she didn't know.
• 52:32
  It kind of the rails kind of fell off on her on the last
• 52:35
  workout. Samantha.
• 52:38
  Samantha did great. Liz Wishart murdered it.
• 52:42
  And like, they didn't know. So that that was really, really
• 52:47
  fun. And Reese Littlewood, opposite
• 52:52
  of Erica Folo or Kyra Milligan, I will not rank her low anymore
• 52:58
  because she's 2 for two and being higher than where I
• 53:01
  thought she would be. So I'm OK with being wrong if
• 53:05
  she fails me, but. Dude, speaking to Liz Wishart,
• 53:08
  she won my respect this weekend. Murdered it.
• 53:13
  Murdered it. Knew she had to hit a Homer in
• 53:17
  the last event and and put it down man.
• 53:20
  She she held it on a workout that like she shouldn't kill and
• 53:26
  all's I was watching and then this was the part where I was
• 53:29
  like, I wish I was part of the commentating more is like I was
• 53:33
  watching her and then and Reese Littlewood and like just seeing
• 53:37
  like how far Reese was falling. And like I could have said
• 53:40
  during this, like Reese has to get this or she's going to lose
• 53:44
  third. But I mean, it wouldn't have
• 53:46
  mattered anyway 'cause it's Samantha.
• 53:47
  How much was a one second worth that final event?
• 53:52
  In that final. It was 2 seconds a point I
• 53:56
  think. Yeah, it was.
• 53:56
  Two, it was 1.98 seconds per point.
• 54:01
  All right, so 10 seconds for Samantha to take overtake Reese.
• 54:06
  Yeah. That's what's crazy and and
• 54:09
  that's what I can see. What's great about P score is
• 54:13
  like you can you can look at your time or you can look at
• 54:16
  your points at the end. And as an athlete you're like,
• 54:19
  OK, how far am I out of? Am I out of whatever place like
• 54:26
  5th or whatever? Because I was looking at to pick
• 54:29
  on Morgan Porter a little bit, like I was looking at how how
• 54:35
  far is she off performance wise from 5th place?
• 54:39
  And it's like, it's really tight actually.
• 54:42
  So she's at 293 and then 5th is like 393 and it's like it's 100
• 54:48
  points. You divide that out, it's like
• 54:50
  it's not that many seconds per event.
• 54:55
  And I think that's a better way of looking at it more
• 54:57
  constructively as an athlete is like, OK, if I divide that out
• 55:00
  per event, like I'm not that much farther behind them.
• 55:05
  I think that's when we talk about P score, we find our shows
• 55:08
  about it. Like when you said that Ricky
• 55:11
  was the P score champion, Like that's where I think we use it
• 55:17
  when it's when you go suck parallel right into competitions
• 55:22
  that don't do it because it does give a sense of where are they
• 55:28
  from their fitness level now they have to compete and they
• 55:31
  got to beat people by a fraction of a second.
• 55:33
  And you may or may not, you know.
• 55:36
  Make the break on that. Yeah, you're, you're down three
• 55:38
  points because you lose by 1/10 of a second or whatever, but the
• 55:43
  P score would tell you that you're right there, you just
• 55:46
  have to execute a little better here and there.
• 55:49
  Here's your margins of where you need to be.
• 55:50
  It it kind of gives you that performance perspective even
• 55:53
  though they. Don't.
• 55:54
  They're not. Competing from that way, right?
• 55:56
  Yeah. Lee Frazier, I'm so proud of you
• 56:00
  both. Glad you were both.
• 56:02
  Good. John and I get over from shit
• 56:04
  fast, especially with each other.

  Thank you, Lee Ben McNeese, 999 for John Sandwich Fund.
• 56:12
  I said JY Barbara athlete right there.
• 56:14
  Oh, has Ben sent us some PRS? Dude, we've had, I had four
• 56:19
  yesterday and two or 50 lbs which is which is wild.
• 56:27
  That's pretty crazy. So if you want to PR your stuff
• 56:29
  by 50 lbs guys, just DM me. That'll make you strong.
• 56:33
  Last one, I want to talk about Miley Wade.
• 56:37
  Dude, yeah, you know, I I and not just Miley, I feel like
• 56:42
  there were about 6 athletes that are going to be better than.
• 56:47
  Miley. What?
• 56:48
  No, no, no. That are going to be that are
• 56:52
  going to be games athletes in the future, like we always say,
• 56:56
  but crashes kind of like a gateway to the games.
• 56:59
  If you do well at crash, eventually you're going to make
• 57:02
  the games and it's kind of proven that thus far through the
• 57:06
  years and Miley Wade is one of them.
• 57:10
  That first event was a big well, literally I would the llama.
• 57:14
  The last event was. Just heaven.
• 57:17
  It's not her, right? Well, it's just.
• 57:19
  It's not even, I don't even care if she struggles.
• 57:21
  I just want to see how she handles it.
• 57:24
  And you said anything heavy, she got third in the freaking sled
• 57:28
  flip. And I promise you, Brian, there
• 57:31
  were five, there were at least 5 girls that were better at the
• 57:34
  handstand push ups than Miley. But the way she did the sled was
• 57:38
  better than everybody. Everybody.
• 57:41
  I mean, the men can kind of move it just a little bit faster.
• 57:43
  But like her lift to pop to push was just more efficient than
• 57:50
  everybody. You look at the first workout,
• 57:52
  the front squat workout, which is the heavy, like Olympic
• 57:55
  lifting workout. She gets 11th, right?
• 57:58
  I mean, the llamas brute strength, right?
• 58:00
  23rd. That's her worst event.
• 58:02
  I think she's always gonna have an event like that.
• 58:05
  But she handled the the heavy events way better than I thought
• 58:11
  she was going to, not way better.
• 58:14
  But nothing seemed nothing seemed like it was.
• 58:18
  It stopped her in her tracks. Nothing.
• 58:20
  She. Kept her head on the whole
• 58:21
  weekend too. Never lost focus, just.
• 58:25
  Like and then and the intervals tried to light the world on
• 58:28
  fire. I actually think she might have
• 58:30
  been able to go a little bit faster if she like paced it just
• 58:32
  a little bit more, but she just kind of just lit the world on
• 58:36
  fire and hope to hold on. But I'm, I'm like, I think
• 58:41
  Reese, I think Maddie Fouts is a future games athlete.
• 58:45
  I think Reese Littlewood is a future games athlete.
• 58:47
  And I'm those two, I'm going to say in 2026, they're going to
• 58:52
  make the games. Maddie Fouts and Reese
• 58:54
  Littlewood. I think Miley's going to make
• 58:57
  the Games, maybe not this year, but the year after and then.
• 59:03
  Molly's one I could see like just the programming was right
• 59:06
  and she pulled it. Off she I no for sure she.
• 59:09
  Could not a lock? You're saying she's not a lock?
• 59:11
  Yeah, yeah. I'm just not going to bet on the
• 59:13
  programming. It's it's usually smart not to
• 59:16
  like, like just bet that it's going to be great for her.
• 59:19
  But I think in two years it won't matter.
• 59:23
  And then on the. Mayor she's she's, she looks
• 59:26
  younger than it's crazy girls. Even worse than her person.
• 59:31
  Yeah, she's got a young face. And Trista, a lot of people
• 59:36
  think she's going to make the games in the future.
• 59:38
  I kind of don't know about her. She she strikes me as and always
• 59:44
  there, but like never really gets, never makes it the jump,
• 59:49
  you know what I mean? Allison Allison's Goods.
• 59:53
  All right, we don't, we don't want to just wreck these people.
• 59:55
  But that's how I think that's that's that's how I think of her
• 1:00:03
  right now. Now she's perfectly capable of
• 1:00:06
  making the jump, but that's how I think of her right now.
• 1:00:10
  And then for the men's side, let's go to the men really
• 1:00:13
  quick. I mean, Quinn Robinson's the
• 1:00:14
  biggest stand out. He's 29 and you usually don't
• 1:00:18
  see somebody jump like that. Quinn and Maddie both got
• 1:00:23
  notified by CrossFit that they're now in the drug testing
• 1:00:26
  pool. And good, dude, good and you
• 1:00:29
  know they. Was watching HQ is watching.
• 1:00:31
  Crap. They were both so excited about
• 1:00:33
  that. Quinn was like, this is a badge
• 1:00:35
  of honor. And I was like, I'm happy you're
• 1:00:38
  happy about it because if you weren't happy about it, it would
• 1:00:41
  be not great. But I'm saying Quinn did so
• 1:00:44
  good. I had a lot of people ask me,
• 1:00:48
  what do you think? And because you don't just come
• 1:00:51
  out of the woodwork like that, it doesn't happen for you to be
• 1:00:54
  29 and you're a team games athlete.
• 1:00:57
  And when I say team games athlete, I'm not talking like
• 1:01:02
  Angelo De Chico, Sam de Meester. I mean actually team games
• 1:01:06
  athlete where it's like you're not good enough, right?
• 1:01:10
  The and he just to to come within a minute of Colton's time
• 1:01:15
  in that first workout and to win the back-to-back on the llama.
• 1:01:21
  Jason Hopper's time on the llama event 4 was 520-520-2520.
• 1:01:29
  You beat Jason Hopper in a workout that I think Jason would
• 1:01:33
  win at the Games in a workout where I'm like he would be my
• 1:01:36
  pick, like best in the world. And you win a running and
• 1:01:41
  pulling workout to I don't I can't think of two different
• 1:01:46
  stimulus. And then don't get me wrong,
• 1:01:49
  he's got holes right. He's not the greatest at
• 1:01:52
  gymnastics or tricep fatigue, but his finishes were just
• 1:01:58
  really, really impressed. Like he was the most impressive
• 1:02:01
  person period, in my in my opinion, in all of crash.
• 1:02:06
  And if he takes it and and like it's so much of a jump that it
• 1:02:12
  is suspect, but that's pride to him.
• 1:02:15
  You know what I mean? If you're legit, that's the best
• 1:02:18
  thing. Like you did such a compliment.
• 1:02:22
  And then if you're not legit, it makes sense.
• 1:02:23
  But I think he I think he for the record, I would 100% think
• 1:02:28
  he is legit. Yeah, I think I think he's had
• 1:02:34
  hard circumstances. And then this year is just the
• 1:02:37
  year where he's like, you know what, I'm just going to push all
• 1:02:39
  my chips in. We're going to see what happens.
• 1:02:40
  And he's just had some really, really good training.
• 1:02:43
  I talked to a couple people that Mayhem and like he's like this
• 1:02:48
  like, dude, he's in the dungeon and I'm like, then props him,
• 1:02:52
  man. But so Quinn, I think Nate
• 1:02:55
  Ackerman will eventually make the games the car.
• 1:02:57
  He's just honestly, I think he's got to get a little bit smarter.
• 1:03:01
  He just freaking climbed all the way top to the rope and then
• 1:03:04
  just free falled about broke his.
• 1:03:06
  Ankle teleported all the way down.
• 1:03:07
  Dude, I I don't know if we got it on film with him falling, but
• 1:03:10
  it. Was.
• 1:03:11
  Hard. Hard like people thought.
• 1:03:14
  And his gut was already fucked up.
• 1:03:17
  And then he just was like, all right, see you.
• 1:03:20
  Yeah. And then and I talked to a
• 1:03:21
  couple of people and they're like, Oh no, that's just how he
• 1:03:23
  climbs the rope. Maybe not.
• 1:03:25
  Today and I'm like, I'm like then maybe get fix that.
• 1:03:30
  I don't know, like, yeah. Maybe dumb.
• 1:03:35
  But Nate and Quinn I think are, I think not as much as the
• 1:03:40
  women, but absolutely can make the games in the future.
• 1:03:44
  What about Sam? Yeah, don't, don't, don't skip I
• 1:03:48
  don't I. Don't.
• 1:03:48
  I don't think Sam's going to go individual.
• 1:03:50
  I think Sam is content with being a team, being on the
• 1:03:53
  Mayhem team. He even said if they if they go,
• 1:03:56
  if they, if he does anything next year, they're going to run
• 1:03:58
  it back. They were like 5 points from
• 1:04:02
  winning the games last year. It took a freaking Icelandic
• 1:04:06
  Tola Super team to beat them. He's going to be one of those
• 1:04:11
  like married masters guys that just shows up once a year and
• 1:04:16
  beats everybody and like, see you later.
• 1:04:18
  Thank you. You say that he's freaking 26
• 1:04:21
  years old. Oh, I know, I know.
• 1:04:23
  He's still young. It already seems like that.
• 1:04:26
  Married 35. They have the oldest, youngest
• 1:04:29
  team. I got a bunch of Greg Odins on
• 1:04:33
  their team. Angelo and Sam are the oldest 26
• 1:04:36
  year olds I've ever met. Ever.
• 1:04:37
  Angelo is so young and he's way older than I am.
• 1:04:40
  Dude, he's got grade his beard like he's all the time.
• 1:04:45
  Sam, though, like I think you were honestly like he he won the
• 1:04:51
  heaviest bowl last year on the against you.
• 1:04:55
  He didn't. He didn't, he didn't do the
• 1:04:58
  thank you for. Bringing that back up,
• 1:04:59
  appreciate. It.
• 1:05:01
  Well, it just shows that he was like, he could do that type of
• 1:05:03
  workout. Yeah, yeah.
• 1:05:05
  Did he do the rope climb one? Kill Taylor.
• 1:05:09
  Yeah, yes, I. I can't remember if he did that
• 1:05:13
  or not. I think he did.
• 1:05:14
  I think he did. He did well.
• 1:05:16
  Yeah, I think. No, I think, sorry, Taylor did
• 1:05:21
  really, really good. And then obviously Hatfield.
• 1:05:24
  Hatfield didn't. And then I think he was just
• 1:05:26
  second running his race. But then he does well on this
• 1:05:30
  event, like if you know syndicate's back, if Jr.
• 1:05:35
  programs Syndicate like it feels like those types of programming,
• 1:05:41
  like it fits Sam's strengths. Yeah, he's he's great dude and
• 1:05:45
  he's got great battery, really good battery.
• 1:05:49
  And when Jr. programs his strength workouts, they're
• 1:05:52
  always battery tested. It's never that one Rep Max.
• 1:05:56
  So like that's where Sam would not score super high.
• 1:05:59
  It's not that he's bad, but they're just monsters out here
• 1:06:02
  where like if he's snatching 280 like it's just enough to make
• 1:06:06
  him not. Like, I guess the hard part for
• 1:06:09
  him I think would be, you know, how many good athletes would be
• 1:06:14
  at Syndicate this year. Now they have to all be in
• 1:06:15
  person. Sure.
• 1:06:17
  No, I really, he did not seem like he had the desire to go
• 1:06:21
  individual at all. It was more of kind of like
• 1:06:23
  proving. Yeah.
• 1:06:25
  I mean, I got it. You know what I mean?
• 1:06:27
  Like, I'm still, I still. I still.
• 1:06:28
  Yeah, yeah, I'm still there. And then I do I want to give a
• 1:06:33
  shout out to to Riley Beebee, too.
• 1:06:37
  Not, not. I don't think she'll make the
• 1:06:40
  games like Reese Littlewood or Miley Wade or Maddie Fouts.
• 1:06:47
  Like I think it might take a few years for her because she is
• 1:06:53
  very, very bad at handstand push ups and that's going to take a
• 1:06:57
  minute to get better at. So if you look at her, I mean
• 1:07:01
  12012201429 like she just has to get fitter.
• 1:07:06
  She's got holes, but she has she's young and she has Olivia
• 1:07:12
  cursed at her esque home runs like for her to She had the
• 1:07:16
  fastest time in the whole entire everybody the minute and the win
• 1:07:22
  I and that front squat Toda bar. What was the other movement?
• 1:07:29
  It's escaping me. Double unders double.
• 1:07:32
  Unders, double unders, like I know it was a mimic off a 16.2,
• 1:07:38
  right? It's one of the, in my opinion,
• 1:07:40
  it's one of the best workouts to just test overall fitness.
• 1:07:43
  Just how fit are you in total? Just everything with everything.
• 1:07:48
  And for her to beat Colton in that event, I just think she has
• 1:07:52
  really a ton of potential and it's just exciting to see when a
• 1:07:59
  teenager has a home run ability like that.
• 1:08:03
  And then everything else, it's just it's just getting fitter as
• 1:08:05
  a whole, just bringing everything up a little bit
• 1:08:08
  better. I do think it's going to take a
• 1:08:10
  minute, but I can see her making the games too.
• 1:08:15
  Real quick before we move on, Crossfat, I don't watch other
• 1:08:18
  stuff. I don't think Dave is the one
• 1:08:20
  who's watching it. I think people on his team are
• 1:08:23
  watching it and they're the ones that are sending out.
• 1:08:26
  Those you get somebody to pay for an hour to watch that stuff.
• 1:08:35
  Oh, that's. Fair.
• 1:08:36
  I OK. I mean, she beat you by 17
• 1:08:40
  seconds, man. It's pretty convincing.
• 1:08:43
  But that's definitely enough time.
• 1:08:45
  I guess what's that 20 toast bar, 2525 toast bar, right,
• 1:08:51
  because 5 rounds. That's fair.
• 1:08:53
  That's fair under under a different circumstance that you
• 1:08:58
  have brought up in a figurative other universe where they have a
• 1:09:01
  more toasted bar and you knew her time to be you knew her
• 1:09:06
  time, she didn't know your time, then you would still win.
• 1:09:09
  Colton you can just do Tyler and John versus the girls next year
• 1:09:13
  with us and then you can prove them wrong if you want.
• 1:09:18
  I didn't rest it. He's always too bitter about it.
• 1:09:24
  He's going. To he's going to.
• 1:09:25
  Redo this workout in 12/12/29 and just posted like all right I
• 1:09:31
  won't hear it anymore. Colton do it.
• 1:09:34
  I'm interested in this Colton just murdering the girls.
• 1:09:41
  Oh man, yeah. How many?
• 1:09:46
  How many points? Colleen Burton's up to bat. 380
• 1:09:49
  in the first event. Right, dude.
• 1:09:51
  And Tyler, you're wrong. Rescue.
• 1:09:53
  That Colton would put on the women.
• 1:09:56
  Oh. My gosh, he'd screw up the.
• 1:09:57
  Whole point Christopher has been to the games according to PC
• 1:10:02
  2020 games. The at home games.
• 1:10:06
  That isn't Count Tyler or. Country.
• 1:10:10
  All right, let's see. Moving on, we'll be right back
• 1:10:13
  with our thoughts on San Jose. 20 years ago, the Cross of Games
• 1:10:19
  were born in California. Fast forward 20 years, we're
• 1:10:22
  coming back. I'm just going to we'll see you
• 1:10:33
  at the SAP Center in San Jose, CA July 24th through July 26th.
• 1:10:54
  There it is. San Jose SAP Center.
• 1:10:57
  Why are you so perplexed there, Tyler?
• 1:11:01
  I'm I kind of want to hold my tongue, but whoever did whatever
• 1:11:04
  with the music there, you didn't do a good job.
• 1:11:07
  I'll just say it that way. I understand what you were going
• 1:11:10
  for, but it didn't put you didn't pull it off I'm.
• 1:11:13
  Sorry, I'm sorry. Suck.
• 1:11:15
  It sorry there's sometimes with music especially, shit'll really
• 1:11:19
  get under my skin. I just can't lie about it.
• 1:11:21
  Like I want to like the real and everything, but like, it's just
• 1:11:24
  a music thing. I saw it.
• 1:11:27
  First of all, what did you think of?
• 1:11:29
  You like the you like the location?
• 1:11:30
  San Jose going out to Savon Savon's area next to the wood.
• 1:11:37
  Yeah. I think it'll be fun too.
• 1:11:39
  I I don't San Jose is the 10th biggest city in America.
• 1:11:45
  I don't know if it will be like the city will embrace it the way
• 1:11:52
  the smaller, the smaller, right, the smaller cities embrace it.
• 1:11:55
  I, I actually really like when the whole city like embraces the
• 1:12:00
  CrossFit games. I mean, Albany did it far less
• 1:12:03
  than Madison did it, but it was, but they everybody around knew
• 1:12:08
  what was going on though, like the mayor like, like it's, it's
• 1:12:11
  a, it's a deal, like they're, it's a big deal for them.
• 1:12:14
  And I, I really like that this I, I, I was never, I never went
• 1:12:20
  to Carson. So like, I don't know what it
• 1:12:23
  looks like, but I imagine you just go to a building and now
• 1:12:27
  it's CrossFit. But like, you wouldn't know the
• 1:12:29
  next street over. You would have no idea.
• 1:12:31
  Yeah, because. It's, I mean, I'm sure they did.
• 1:12:33
  They have just events there all the time and nobody cares.
• 1:12:37
  You just throw up and do your thing.
• 1:12:40
  Now question for you spin, does this mean they will be there
• 1:12:43
  will be outdoors events? I assume they're going to do 1.
• 1:12:51
  I feel like they have to do something.
• 1:12:54
  I mean, that's what Sivan is pointing to.
• 1:12:57
  I think there will be a few. The whole day.
• 1:13:00
  Or three days. Yeah.
• 1:13:01
  No, no, no. I think like day one will be all
• 1:13:04
  outdoors. So not at the SAP Center.
• 1:13:08
  And then the next two days. That would be crazy.
• 1:13:14
  Like, they've done it before, so it's not totally out of like,
• 1:13:17
  but it would just suck to like have the CrossFit Games and be
• 1:13:21
  like, yeah, sorry, the athletes are off doing their own thing.
• 1:13:23
  You get 2 days. Yeah, or no, they do it the day
• 1:13:27
  before. You know how they used to do it
• 1:13:28
  like on? Sunday or or or they.
• 1:13:30
  Yeah, or. It's actually four days and
• 1:13:33
  Thursday is at the ranch. That's that's how I'll.
• 1:13:37
  Be OK with that. 2016 That's what they did in 2016.
• 1:13:40
  As long as they live stream it. I don't care.
• 1:13:42
  There's no crowd. In 2016, nobody knew about it.
• 1:13:46
  And then yeah, I'm, I'm with Tyler.
• 1:13:47
  As long as it's live streamed and then, you know, we'll spin
• 1:13:51
  cast it, obviously we'll be partnered and be able to show
• 1:13:53
  the live stream on ours, I just assume.
• 1:13:57
  If they do that, we'll rent out a bar and all of us will watch
• 1:14:00
  it in person. Commentate.
• 1:14:02
  A live spin cast. Oh that would be really cool.
• 1:14:06
  Dude, we could have, we could buy.
• 1:14:09
  Who wants this person to win? Who wants this person to win?
• 1:14:11
  Man. That'll be dope.
• 1:14:13
  If you have a prediction that I disagree with, we can make a
• 1:14:17
  bet, a physical bet and see who wins.
• 1:14:21
  Yeah, I, I would, I would. That would be awesome.
• 1:14:23
  If they did move, have Thursday as the games start and it's at
• 1:14:28
  the ranch for the first day, I'd be totally on board with that.
• 1:14:31
  Like that would be. That would be awesome.
• 1:14:35
  Yeah. Probably the best compromise of
• 1:14:38
  having to have everything else indoors.
• 1:14:41
  Yeah, for that. I still don't love it, but I'd
• 1:14:44
  be more OK with it. Right.
• 1:14:46
  You at least get a piece of it. So, you know, we all knew it was
• 1:14:52
  coming West Coast. I did think it was interesting
• 1:14:54
  on the Sport of Fitness podcast that Dave said that Chase Center
• 1:14:58
  actually was being considered. Is that what you that was your?
• 1:15:03
  That was the one when you went there and took pictures of it or
• 1:15:06
  video of it. I, you know, I posted like, is
• 1:15:08
  that going to be the location? And everybody thought I was
• 1:15:10
  crazy. But it sounds like at least
• 1:15:12
  we're considering it, no? I didn't think you were crazy.
• 1:15:14
  I just thought it was funny how hard up you were on it.
• 1:15:16
  You were on it. Let's see Lauren Torresola.
• 1:15:20
  San Jose has a ton of CrossFit gyms.
• 1:15:23
  Both Neil Maddox and Khalifa have gyms here.
• 1:15:25
  I think the city will be hyped. I don't think Khalifa calls it
• 1:15:29
  CrossFit gyms. I can't remember for Cal, is he
• 1:15:33
  back on? CrossFit.
• 1:15:34
  NC Fit. I thought he was all about his
• 1:15:37
  own, his own stuff. Snip, snap, snip, snap.
• 1:15:39
  I couldn't remember where he's which are the sniper, the snap
• 1:15:42
  he's on right now. I bet you he ends up in the
• 1:15:44
  arena for sure. Yeah.
• 1:15:48
  Thank you, Lauren. Can't be as bad as the time he
• 1:15:51
  was at the Granite Games and pitched his book and everybody
• 1:15:53
  left. I don't know about that.
• 1:15:56
  Oh man, it was. I felt really bad for Jason
• 1:15:59
  actually. He wrote a book.
• 1:16:00
  He's listen, he's about his business, man.
• 1:16:02
  He's about his business. It was the same time that Greg
• 1:16:06
  went on Armand's podcast. It was a monumental day 'cause
• 1:16:09
  it was like the first time that that Greg had like accepted.
• 1:16:13
  Monumental. Day, any outside media we go to,
• 1:16:18
  we go in and you know, they, they're given like athlete
• 1:16:22
  briefings and stuff like that and Jason's pitching his book
• 1:16:26
  and then like after it was after the athlete meetings or the
• 1:16:30
  briefing and when everybody figured out that was happening,
• 1:16:33
  they just fucking left. I felt really bad for Jason.
• 1:16:39
  I'm going to say the first event announced is going to be heavy,
• 1:16:42
  Amanda. Heavy, Amanda.
• 1:16:47
  We're going to keep this going again.
• 1:16:49
  They didn't get to do Amanda when they wanted to.
• 1:16:51
  They didn't do it in 2024 like a lot of people thought they were
• 1:16:53
  going to do. And it's going to be one 85135
• 1:16:57
  Amanda. I hope they bring back the
• 1:16:59
  sledgehammer. Stop it right now.
• 1:17:02
  Stop this blasphemy. At at aromas they can do the
• 1:17:06
  sledgehammer. That would be good.
• 1:17:08
  I I do to some degree. I agree with Lauren in that
• 1:17:13
  there are a ton of gems there. I think you'll get a ton of
• 1:17:15
  support from nearby affiliates and and all the cross fitters
• 1:17:20
  there. It is expensive if you want to
• 1:17:25
  be close, so just keep that in mind.
• 1:17:29
  What if they did a sledgehammer obstacle course?
• 1:17:33
  I don't even know what that. Means like you got to go through
• 1:17:35
  this obstacle course, but with your sledgehammer and then in
• 1:17:38
  various points you got to, you got to in various points, you
• 1:17:41
  got to nail certain nails in the ground or the wood or whatever,
• 1:17:44
  just in various points until it's all the way in.
• 1:17:46
  And then you just got to keep moving through this obstacle
• 1:17:49
  course. Pick your spot and then and then
• 1:17:50
  you call it and you call it John Henry.
• 1:17:53
  That's the name of the workout, No, because you don't think that
• 1:17:58
  would be a fun workout, Dude, I think it would be.
• 1:18:01
  No, Here's why they won't do it, John.
• 1:18:04
  Because John. John.
• 1:18:05
  Henry is amazing. But there's so much racism tied
• 1:18:10
  into the John Henry story. They'll pull it out.
• 1:18:12
  Dude, they had they'll just people.
• 1:18:15
  Get pissed about this like one of the greatest stories of all.
• 1:18:18
  Time it is. It's inspirational.
• 1:18:21
  I love the story of John Henry. Dude, I watched John Henry like
• 1:18:23
  a week ago and like it's for people who don't know, it's like
• 1:18:28
  a short Disney movie. It's like 20 minutes.
• 1:18:33
  I'm not going to tell you the whole I'm not going to ruin it.
• 1:18:35
  I'm not going to spoil it, but I watched this.
• 1:18:39
  I watched John Henry and and then I immediately just wanted
• 1:18:42
  to go get after it. Like it just made me want to go
• 1:18:44
  work. Of course, because you're John
• 1:18:46
  Henry John. Dude, it, it's oh, man, it's so
• 1:18:50
  good. Yeah.
• 1:18:52
  I, I, I would think you would be all for John Henry.
• 1:18:55
  I love John Henry, but I don't think they're going to go with
• 1:18:58
  it at the games. Also, you reminded me of a movie
• 1:19:01
  I saw when I was a kid, but it has John Henry and it's called
• 1:19:04
  Tall Tale. I think it's a Disney movie as
• 1:19:06
  well and it's got him Pecos Bill.
• 1:19:10
  Michael Clarke Duncan. Big old black guy.
• 1:19:14
  Oh yeah. Let's talk to God, CrossFit, and
• 1:19:16
  I. You are CrossFit Green Mile.
• 1:19:22
  It's a great movie, The Johnny Key character.
• 1:19:25
  This reminds me from summer. Good thing that pool boy has
• 1:19:28
  opened up his mansion for free. So go if you know who pool boy
• 1:19:31
  is, go hit his DMS up and ask him to stay.
• 1:19:34
  So just go do that at your convenience tonight.
• 1:19:39
  Just say. I'm coming trap.
• 1:19:41
  That sounds like a trap. I'm coming to San Jose.
• 1:19:45
  Can I stay with you and let's see how many people can DM him
• 1:19:49
  and say that. Don't say I said it though.
• 1:19:52
  Just, you know, to reach out to him.
• 1:19:54
  Larry Young Papa Young Arman was so good he needed jumped in line
• 1:19:59
  for pushed agendas. Just hold it straight.
• 1:20:02
  I miss, I miss, miss it. Man, you need to go check on.
• 1:20:11
  It's got big fingers. Armin was, yeah, he was.
• 1:20:19
  He was funny. He was.
• 1:20:20
  He was funny. Man, and then I want the other
• 1:20:28
  piece of amount. Another semifinal is coming
• 1:20:31
  back, so we don't know it's going to be, I don't know it, he
• 1:20:42
  said. It would be people from back in
• 1:20:45
  the day would really appreciate. It Jamar.
• 1:20:48
  Everybody's pointing to Del Mar Fair.
• 1:20:51
  Do you think it could be another 1 though?
• 1:20:53
  Well, I don't think of that as AI mean, I guess it's a, you
• 1:20:58
  know, a location, but who runs that?
• 1:21:02
  It's not CrossFit running it. So who would run?
• 1:21:06
  I was thinking more of an organ, like an old competition that is
• 1:21:11
  coming. Back Granite Games.
• 1:21:13
  That's not West Coast granite games up.
• 1:21:15
  North. It is actually West Coast
• 1:21:17
  technically. Stop Minnesota, Minnesota.
• 1:21:21
  But I mean, I'm you, you could technically take say it's
• 1:21:26
  Granite games and you move it back to the West, right?
• 1:21:30
  Like it doesn't have to be in Minnesota I guess.
• 1:21:35
  Would it be the the original West Coast classic in Vegas?
• 1:21:41
  I don't think that's. It's not OG enough, but yeah,
• 1:21:44
  yeah, for it to not be Del Mar. We're we're pulling at straws.
• 1:21:49
  Here Del Mar, I feel like it's the go to here.
• 1:21:51
  Wasn't Granite Games owned by Loud Loud Live?
• 1:21:55
  Yeah, yeah. So that was like Loud Live
• 1:21:58
  owned. Hey Grant Granite game Jim
• 1:22:01
  Reaper granted games. Oct.
• 1:22:06
  So there's OC throw down that yeah, that got Kevin Ogar.
• 1:22:12
  That would be a problem. And then you also have the SAC
• 1:22:16
  Town throw down. That's where Jason Khalifa ran a
• 1:22:19
  car over a woman I. Don't think it's that one.
• 1:22:22
  What? You never saw that.
• 1:22:24
  No all. Right, let me see if I can find.
• 1:22:27
  It there's a video. She signed a waiver.
• 1:22:31
  Oh my God. I agree with Travis.
• 1:22:34
  I agree with Travis. Like let's like, let's do the
• 1:22:36
  games like, well, it's not expensive, like.
• 1:22:41
  Travis is biased. Like Texas?
• 1:22:42
  Let's. See.
• 1:22:45
  Hang on, give me a second here. I got a.
• 1:22:48
  Or even like in Indiana or you know, just a non expensive
• 1:22:53
  state. Kentucky baby.
• 1:22:55
  That's fine, I'm fine. I do.
• 1:22:56
  Have some? Lexington.
• 1:22:58
  Lexington would be awesome. I do have some information that
• 1:23:01
  that was on the bar board Once Upon a time.
• 1:23:04
  Yeah, back in the Fort Worth. Days, yeah.
• 1:23:07
  Isn't that crazy to think about everybody?
• 1:23:10
  I would have I would have been cool with both of them.
• 1:23:12
  I would have been stoked, but I understand why everybody else
• 1:23:15
  would have been pissed if we went to Kentucky.
• 1:23:18
  But Lexington would have been. Great.
• 1:23:19
  I don't think people know how nice Lexington.
• 1:23:22
  Is no, they really don't. It's easy to get around.
• 1:23:26
  Well, no, it's not. It's not easy to get around.
• 1:23:28
  But like as far as there's a ton of places to stay eat the
• 1:23:34
  facilities would be great. It would be cool.
• 1:23:37
  I cannot find. It can't find the Khalifa
• 1:23:39
  running over a lady. I saw it recently.
• 1:23:43
  It just pops up on your feet every now and again.
• 1:23:47
  Yeah, I can't remember what I had to search to find it, but I
• 1:23:50
  always think that's great when people talk about how dangerous
• 1:23:53
  CrossFit is today. CrossFit still works for HQ.
• 1:23:58
  Birmingham. CrossFit could.
• 1:24:00
  Probably not. Would not have been good.
• 1:24:03
  It probably not. Would not have yeah, I don't see
• 1:24:08
  where it is, but no, if you've I'll try to find it and post it
• 1:24:12
  in my on Instagram again. I'm pretty sure I I said that or
• 1:24:16
  shared that maybe a year or two ago.
• 1:24:19
  So yeah, I I was wondering like, is it the like creators of SAC
• 1:24:23
  town throwdown the coming back. I could see Granite Games coming
• 1:24:29
  back, like Dylan has partnered with CrossFit for 26.3.
• 1:24:34
  They're going to bring games, they're going to do the Granite
• 1:24:36
  Games. Or they can reuse West Coast
• 1:24:39
  Classic technically and go to Del Mar, right?
• 1:24:42
  I don't think it's in the Northern California.
• 1:24:44
  I think it's in Southern California.
• 1:24:45
  If they do it and do something like that, so.
• 1:24:52
  That one might, I'd be interested.
• 1:24:55
  Del Mar would be cool. It probably goes.
• 1:24:57
  It also goes back to what the rumor that Clydesdale had that
• 1:25:04
  there would be a new semi final that was like for masters
• 1:25:07
  athletes. This is Evan Classic.
• 1:25:10
  Granite Games would be would fit that bill if they came back.
• 1:25:17
  So then do you think that they boot a semi final and which one?
• 1:25:22
  It's not Norcal. Norcal won't be 1, it will still
• 1:25:28
  be 1. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 1:25:29
  It's they've already announced their dates.
• 1:25:31
  It's right in the middle of the season.
• 1:25:32
  There's no way it's not. Definitely not going to be
• 1:25:34
  syndicate. I'm sure they did be back.
• 1:25:37
  That leaves TFX and Mayhem. TFX.
• 1:25:41
  TFX and they we know that Mayhem has still has not signed their
• 1:25:45
  paper. Oh, it's probably Mayhem.
• 1:25:47
  That sucks. No, I bet it's TFX.
• 1:25:50
  I hope it's TFXI say this. I do the TFX every single year
• 1:25:55
  those. Are different though.
• 1:25:57
  I'm just bat. Yeah, I, yeah.
• 1:25:59
  But I mean, so they're still the same thing.
• 1:26:04
  Yeah. I just you just need better
• 1:26:05
  programming for. Think about this thing.
• 1:26:08
  People to the games I'm fine with, you know what I'm doing
• 1:26:12
  Like like the local. But but think about this though,
• 1:26:14
  like what if, what if Granite Games or whatever it is is in
• 1:26:17
  California? You have Norcal Classic in
• 1:26:20
  California, Syndicate stays in Knoxville, and let's say Mayhem
• 1:26:24
  stays. So you'd have 4 again, but you'd
• 1:26:27
  have two in Tennessee and two in California.
• 1:26:31
  Two in the east and two in the West.
• 1:26:32
  God that. 'D be terrible.
• 1:26:36
  Unless you want to go granite games and then in Minnesota and.
• 1:26:40
  It's funny, in Tennessee, everywhere else, if it happened
• 1:26:44
  again in another state, you'd be like, all right, what are we
• 1:26:46
  doing here, folks? Like we got to move this around,
• 1:26:48
  do something, anything else. Now I think the ECC would be
• 1:26:54
  fun. I don't want to go up to what
• 1:26:57
  Boston do you? Think you're near?
• 1:26:59
  There, you think Ben's going to run that?
• 1:27:01
  No, but I'm just, I'm just thinking of other places I.
• 1:27:06
  Think it'd be cool? California's beautiful, though I
• 1:27:11
  I have no qualms with San Jose. Yeah, it'd.
• 1:27:16
  Be cool in Georgia, maybe? The city might not be beautiful,
• 1:27:19
  but the the I'm more talk. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 1:27:23
  Georgia would be cool, but like in Savannah?
• 1:27:28
  No. Well, do that.
• 1:27:30
  I guess Savannah would be easy for the East Coast people to
• 1:27:32
  get. Yeah, dude, you could just run
• 1:27:34
  on the beach. You do some beach event like
• 1:27:36
  Savannah would be cool, Yeah. That's.
• 1:27:39
  Fair. Atlanta would be too big.
• 1:27:41
  I don't like Atlanta. Well, it's time for some time
• 1:27:45
  for blind rankings. Oh snap.
• 1:27:47
  Get it out, Tyler. Blind rankings brought to you by
• 1:27:52
  Manta Sleep. I'm ready to be blind.
• 1:27:55
  Save 10% Tyler you have the the blue to get the sound version
• 1:28:01
  the sound. Yeah, you look like wannabe
• 1:28:03
  Allen Iverson I. Feel like 1.
• 1:28:06
  You can watch the latest WFP video with Dallin and fall right
• 1:28:09
  asleep. Listen to that.
• 1:28:12
  Dude, the the Bluetooth I, I use the Bluetooth sound thing more
• 1:28:16
  than the more the sound machine. You know what I'm talking about.
• 1:28:21
  I used that. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 1:28:24
  That puts me to sleep. Very fast, so uncomfortable
• 1:28:27
  white noise. Yeah, 'cause I, I, I don't, I
• 1:28:30
  don't like, like just it's sometimes it's hard.
• 1:28:33
  It's it's comfortable plenty but I'm not good with things on my
• 1:28:36
  face that that sound machine was a a difference maker.
• 1:28:42
  Yeah, alright. This week's blind rankings.
• 1:28:46
  It is CrossFit related this time.
• 1:28:48
  So sorry, John. Tell me what's going on.
• 1:28:55
  Staying with the theme of the 2026 CrossFit games today's
• 1:29:00
  topic that could have been games where they could have moved the
• 1:29:05
  2026 CrossFit games you're going to rank if these 5.
• 1:29:10
  If you put the Chase Center on there, I'm putting it at 5:00.
• 1:29:13
  If these five cities, they're cities had submitted an RFP,
• 1:29:18
  where would you have ranked them OK in order?
• 1:29:21
  And they and they didn't, right? You're just making them up.
• 1:29:25
  Yeah. OK, we'll.
• 1:29:27
  Say that I don't know. I don't know who submitted to
• 1:29:28
  say that they were going to be doing the game.
• 1:29:30
  So yeah, you too, but go ahead. All right, first one.
• 1:29:34
  Don't say it. Just just let me let me mime it
• 1:29:36
  to Tyler. OK.
• 1:29:38
  My personal I, you know, I like I in ear mime.
• 1:29:42
  Are you going to say? Let's see if.
• 1:29:44
  Let's see if you can figure out where.
• 1:29:45
  It is. Yeah.
• 1:29:46
  Let's figure this out. OK.
• 1:29:47
  OK. All right.
• 1:29:48
  All right, All right. Don't.
• 1:29:49
  Don't, Tyler. Don't.

  Don't keep it there. OK.

  Use any other sport. Jesus Christ all.
• 1:30:02
  Right, All right, Space Needle. Seattle.
• 1:30:05
  All right, that's where we're at.
• 1:30:07
  I don't want to go to Seattle. It's it's California, but cold
• 1:30:13
  5. So this is for semifinals?
• 1:30:16
  No, this is for games. Games five.
• 1:30:19
  Yeah, I'm with John on this. Ain't nobody wanting to go to
• 1:30:21
  Seattle. I mean, is Seattle nice in the
• 1:30:24
  summer? I don't, I don't rain.
• 1:30:26
  It's I think it's just rains. All yeah, then 5.
• 1:30:28
  I went there. It's as Democrat as they get.
• 1:30:32
  Like I just I don't like it for work.
• 1:30:34
  One time and it was like sunny for three days in a row and I
• 1:30:37
  came back on the 4th day like I, I flew in on the day that it
• 1:30:40
  started to be cloudy and rainy again and everybody was
• 1:30:43
  depressed. And it's like, why is everybody
• 1:30:46
  depressed? We're like, we had three days of
• 1:30:47
  sun. We don't know what it's like to
• 1:30:49
  like we we forgot how awful this place is for three days.
• 1:30:53
  Do you know where the vampires are from?
• 1:30:56
  That's just Washington. Yeah.
• 1:30:59
  Yeah, OK. All right, next one.
• 1:31:08
  All right, all right. He he took a minute to bring it
• 1:31:10
  up. OK, OK.
• 1:31:15
  Travis Hunter plays on this team.
• 1:31:21
  Next. I'm going to give you like a
• 1:31:22
  hard clue and then I'll give you like an easier clue.
• 1:31:26
  Oklahoma. No, not Oklahoma.
• 1:31:29
  OK, brute, brute strength. Their head.
• 1:31:32
  Florida is not their headquarters is not here, but a
• 1:31:35
  lot of people live here from brute strength.
• 1:31:37
  Florida. Yeah, but it's a town in
• 1:31:39
  Florida. Pensacola.
• 1:31:42
  OK. OK, Duval, did that do anything
• 1:31:49
  for you? Oh, I got it.
• 1:31:51
  Jacksonville. Yeah.
• 1:31:53
  Yeah, there we go. Yeah, dude, my next hint was so
• 1:31:56
  great. It was going to be WFP, the
• 1:31:58
  creator, not Will Morat. And then that would have got
• 1:32:02
  you. That would have got you to.
• 1:32:03
  That would have got. You.
• 1:32:04
  That one would have taken me a move.
• 1:32:05
  But then you. But then you got it.
• 1:32:07
  OK. I'm fine with Jacksonville, but
• 1:32:12
  like it doesn't like get me going.
• 1:32:15
  I would say 3. What do you think, Tyler?
• 1:32:17
  My brother went to welding school in Jacksonville and he
• 1:32:20
  said it was a shit hole. All right.
• 1:32:23
  Thank you for your your input. He said he was there.
• 1:32:28
  I just can't imagine living in Florida for nine months and
• 1:32:31
  being like, I can't wait to get the hell out of here.
• 1:32:33
  That's yeah. And North Florida is way
• 1:32:36
  different than South Florida. Once you get South of Tampa,
• 1:32:38
  it's a different world. I would say 3 because I think
• 1:32:42
  Florida's still not terrible. Like even if it is Jacksonville
• 1:32:45
  still. Florida.
• 1:32:46
  There's going to be a place that's worse than Florida.
• 1:32:48
  And there's going to be some cool stories.
• 1:32:50
  It's man in Florida. Florida.
• 1:32:55
  Man. Florida Man.
• 1:32:57
  Can't get Wilder than the dude taking pictures in.
• 1:32:59
  The think how fast, think how fast they would run if you like.
• 1:33:03
  Had a guy eating bath salts and then sent them away.
• 1:33:06
  Sent them, sent them like go get them and then then they have to
• 1:33:09
  run from him like a real life like zombie type deal.
• 1:33:14
  Somebody. We'd have to a thicker, yeah,
• 1:33:18
  we'd have to get a thicker waiver, but.
• 1:33:22
  Thicker. All right, the next one.
• 1:33:24
  Third option. OK, you got this, man.
• 1:33:26
  The the Mercury play here. Women's basketball.
• 1:33:32
  Arizona. I Oh, dude, you're all about it.
• 1:33:35
  Diana Tarasi. Phoenix.
• 1:33:37
  Yes, Sir. Yeah, women's basketball fan.
• 1:33:40
  I see it, Tyler. I think Phoenix would be lovely.
• 1:33:45
  Phoenix would be my #1. There's got to be somewhere
• 1:33:51
  better in Phoenix. Dude, Arizona's great.
• 1:33:54
  It's hot as balls in August. But that's part of it.
• 1:33:58
  I like them. I like the people struggling
• 1:34:01
  with the heat, I like them struggling with the heat and
• 1:34:05
  we're inside most of the time. No.
• 1:34:08
  Well, yeah, that's a good point. But what the hell else is in
• 1:34:12
  Arizona, dude? There's nothing else.
• 1:34:14
  Grand Canyon Golf. Fucking a how?
• 1:34:17
  Or a hotel that Frank Lloyd Wright made.
• 1:34:19
  That's like it. The Phoenix Mercury.
• 1:34:23
  Mercury, I'm going to dude, there's somewhere better than
• 1:34:29
  Arizona all. Right, 2 All right, I disagree.
• 1:34:33
  I would for the record, I would have put them at 1:00.
• 1:34:35
  But we got we're flexible here, though.
• 1:34:38
  We are, we got. 1:00 and 4:00 left.
• 1:34:40
  My judgement is way more sound when I'm blind.
• 1:34:44
  Makes sense? Let's wait to the end of the
• 1:34:46
  segment for you. Oh, shoot.
• 1:34:48
  OK, the the Dragons play college football.
• 1:34:55
  Here they are, the Dragons. Is it Conference USA?
• 1:35:05
  I don't know. They're the Dragons.
• 1:35:08
  Whatever you're going to think about it, it's four.
• 1:35:11
  I think that'll help you. No, no, not not Michigan.
• 1:35:17
  OK. This is a hard 1 to get you
• 1:35:19
  there. OK, OK, maybe.
• 1:35:25
  But there's some Dragon team in this state.
• 1:35:27
  But don't worry about we're going to get there.
• 1:35:29
  I don't want help from I don't want help from the chat.
• 1:35:36
  Do you know Christian Anderson in basketball?
• 1:35:41
  No. OK, what is a Blue Jay?
• 1:35:45
  What is that? Toronto.
• 1:35:47
  No, but no, no, no. What type of animal is that?
• 1:35:49
  It's. A bird.
• 1:35:50
  OK, now take the D off. OK, now say a city.
• 1:35:57
  Birmingham boom. Look at there, look at there #4.
• 1:36:04
  What are 4 Tyler? 1.
• 1:36:06
  No shot, no, I'm going 4I seated to you on Phoenix.
• 1:36:10
  I'll give you 4 but I think I would really like Birmingham but
• 1:36:14
  it would be hard to get to and nobody else would like it, so
• 1:36:16
  we'll go forward. Do Birmingham in the summer is
• 1:36:19
  hotter than Phoenix in the. Summer Oh yeah it's way hotter
• 1:36:21
  his sticky for. Every route that you just did on
• 1:36:24
  Phoenix, like Birmingham, is worse.
• 1:36:26
  Whereas it's hottest balls in Arizona, you're sitting in ball
• 1:36:30
  soup in Birmingham. Goodness, Grace.
• 1:36:34
  OK. I know I'm talking about.
• 1:36:35
  Everybody knows, they all do When?
• 1:36:36
  You got when you got like a sweaty oyster down there and you
• 1:36:40
  just, you just gonna, you just got sit in it.
• 1:36:42
  Gross. Yeah, I think morning chalk up
• 1:36:45
  and Lafranco would really like to see that happen.
• 1:36:48
  They they must have called it, called it, called it years ago.
• 1:36:51
  We only have #1 left. Let me get.
• 1:36:53
  Number one. Let me get him there.
• 1:36:54
  Don't say it. Let me get him there.
• 1:36:57
  OK, OK. The there are a bunch of
• 1:37:02
  predators here. California.
• 1:37:06
  No, no, no other kind of predators.
• 1:37:08
  A different kind of predator. Nexus.
• 1:37:11
  No, no, Nope. Think like a like a cold
• 1:37:14
  predator. Cold Predator.
• 1:37:17
  Yeah. Minnesota.
• 1:37:20
  OK. Not that Alaska.
• 1:37:23
  A. Hockey Predator.
• 1:37:25
  Oh, those Predators. So we're going to Nashville.
• 1:37:29
  Shouldn't do Nashville. Good job.
• 1:37:31
  Good job of. Course that Nashville is the
• 1:37:33
  list. That's where it should have
• 1:37:34
  been. Yeah, I actually love our list.
• 1:37:39
  So bright now. I would replace Seattle and
• 1:37:41
  Birmingham, but I think, I think, I think this list is
• 1:37:45
  great. I know it's been campaigns from
• 1:37:47
  Nashville all the time. We make fun of them.
• 1:37:48
  Nashville's awesome. I love Nashville.
• 1:37:51
  I don't think anybody would complain about having to go to
• 1:37:53
  Nashville. Nobody's nobody.
• 1:37:55
  Nashville's fantastic. Be fantastic.
• 1:37:58
  So there we go. Blind rankings use code
• 1:38:01
  spinmantasleep.com You can get the sound sleep mask, listen to
• 1:38:07
  your favorite podcast at night and go to sleep.
• 1:38:10
  So I think we should do this. I that's how we should do blind
• 1:38:13
  rings from now on. I think I need to, I need to try
• 1:38:16
  to mime you there and then or you're miming you.
• 1:38:20
  We got to figure out. We got to figure out what the
• 1:38:22
  right word for that is. You're mime.
• 1:38:25
  And then and then we'll decide. And for you, for the people who
• 1:38:31
  are just dumb in the chat, I'm trying to give him a hard clue.
• 1:38:37
  And then I make it easier, OK? I'm not trying to get it real
• 1:38:40
  quick. I want to test his knowledge.
• 1:38:42
  I want, I want him to think. You were like predators.
• 1:38:45
  And I was like, all right, animals, natural predators.
• 1:38:49
  I was not thinking sports at all.
• 1:38:50
  I was just like actual predators.
• 1:38:53
  And and I don't know if y'all can tell, but me and Abby Grace
• 1:38:57
  are are big Caitlin Clark fans. We've been watching some some
• 1:39:01
  women's basketball. So that's why I know you know
• 1:39:05
  all the other teams. I know, I know.
• 1:39:06
  Yes. Yeah.
• 1:39:07
  It's unfortunate. It's hard to watch sometimes
• 1:39:09
  it's not great. But we do like, we do like us
• 1:39:11
  some Caitlin Clark. And last up, we got some Rabdo.
• 1:39:17
  Well, Dallin has some Rabdo. Dallin Pepper out at Rogue Fit
• 1:39:23
  Rogue Invitational. So do you want to tell them how?
• 1:39:28
  So if you didn't read my article as you should have
• 1:39:31
  thebarbellspin.com when when the story broke that Saxon was going
• 1:39:35
  in, of course it's in a bad scramble to figure out who's
• 1:39:38
  out. Quickly realized Dallin Pepper
• 1:39:41
  was out talk to Dallin and that monostructural event at at the
• 1:39:47
  Tear Cup literally knocked him out.
• 1:39:50
  The bike, right? Yeah, it.
• 1:39:52
  Was it was the 500 meter run, the 50 bar facing burpees and
• 1:39:55
  then the 50 calorie echo bike? How do you get brabdo from that?
• 1:40:00
  I want to. See, you do it as fast as.
• 1:40:02
  Yeah, it gets pretty. Something after two days, after
• 1:40:06
  two days of competition, which I know it wasn't like the volume
• 1:40:09
  is not anywhere close, but. The intensity.
• 1:40:11
  I would love to see you have that high of intensity and
• 1:40:15
  finish with 50 calories in what, 53 seconds?
• 1:40:19
  And it was 59 seconds. Either way, under a minute like.
• 1:40:24
  He. Said he was basically, he
• 1:40:26
  basically was like sick for a couple days.
• 1:40:29
  It was like there's something wrong with me.
• 1:40:31
  He's like, do I have rhabdo? And then went and got blood work
• 1:40:34
  and was confirmed and the doctor was like for your long term
• 1:40:39
  health, you probably should not compete.
• 1:40:43
  This is, you know, until like until you recover because like
• 1:40:47
  you're, I think you're more susceptible to it if you haven't
• 1:40:49
  really recovered. And so like the worst thing you
• 1:40:51
  could possibly do is, you know, because that was what, four or
• 1:40:54
  five weeks ago, go to it. And it's probably like a 2 month
• 1:40:58
  process of starting to get back into it.
• 1:41:00
  So like he goes back to Rogue, goes to rogue, something like
• 1:41:04
  that, triggers it again, and then what?
• 1:41:07
  Like how long does it last until he's back to normal?
• 1:41:11
  And it's going to because bro always has a bike Sprint
• 1:41:14
  workout. We'll.
• 1:41:15
  Have something that's sprinty and gross.
• 1:41:18
  This just makes me hate you even more.
• 1:41:22
  Because he didn't get revved up. Because he just don't know.
• 1:41:24
  He stopped. He quit Dallin.
• 1:41:29
  That's what. That's what this is about.
• 1:41:33
  Like I'm going to hurt myself because for the, for the, for
• 1:41:37
  America. He did, man, that was.
• 1:41:40
  He's a patriot. Real American?
• 1:41:44
  Yeah. Like I think about like you
• 1:41:47
  know, the worst I've ever felt is going doing 100 calories on
• 1:41:49
  the echo bike for time. Like that was the absolute worst
• 1:41:52
  I've ever felt in my time. Was not even close to what those
• 1:41:54
  guys can do. But I cannot imagine it going so
• 1:41:59
  hard where like 2 days later you're literally incapacitated.
• 1:42:03
  So this is in comparison for and he doesn't have Rambo.
• 1:42:08
  Maybe he played it that way it took out a competitor.
• 1:42:11
  If that is your like first thought, that's your thought
• 1:42:15
  process man. Guy was smart for not trying
• 1:42:18
  hard. That is why nobody will remember
• 1:42:20
  your name I. Knew that's where that was
• 1:42:25
  going. And that is wiped out and will
• 1:42:28
  be remembered that for things like that.
• 1:42:31
  And 10 years from now, he's going to be Neil Maddox.
• 1:42:35
  How many people talk about Neil Maddox on a day-to-day?
• 1:42:40
  Not very many. Not many.
• 1:42:41
  Tyler talks about Marcus Hedren more than Neil Maddox and that
• 1:42:44
  dude was across for two years. Marcus is great.
• 1:42:50
  He got a shout out on the Froning podcast.
• 1:42:52
  OK. Marcus Hedren did.
• 1:42:53
  Yeah, yeah. That's cool.
• 1:42:57
  Dude that sucks for Dallon like really bad.
• 1:43:01
  How long is it going to take him to recover from this?
• 1:43:05
  I think he said he was. He's starting to feel better,
• 1:43:07
  but again, it's like. He's probably fine, but like you
• 1:43:10
  just you don't want to get on fine again.
• 1:43:14
  I mean, he said that like basically like doing like low,
• 1:43:18
  you know, low intensity workouts were spiking his heart rate.
• 1:43:23
  Like it was super high intensity.
• 1:43:24
  And I don't know if it's still the case or not.
• 1:43:26
  The problem was what I had Rebdo and then I went into the crash
• 1:43:32
  and then just. Oh, is that what it was?
• 1:43:34
  That's what it was, dude. That's why he had to break up 21
• 1:43:37
  GHDS. I had many Rebdo in my arms no
• 1:43:40
  less. Dude.
• 1:43:42
  Jeff Baiko for JY to upgrade his 300 baud modem.
• 1:43:47
  You went. You went robotic for like 5
• 1:43:50
  seconds. It's no big.
• 1:43:51
  Deal. It's better than mine or than
• 1:43:52
  it's been lately. Obviously mine's been better.
• 1:43:55
  So anyway, yeah, it's it sucks for Dallin.
• 1:44:00
  I know there's jokes about adjusting your training.
• 1:44:03
  I would say this one is not about adjusting your training.
• 1:44:05
  It's about going harder than 99.9% of people ever would.
• 1:44:12
  I I yeah, like it's past the point It's, it's like you're
• 1:44:17
  being a Dick if you make a gesture training jokes, right?
• 1:44:20
  I I think. It's really hard not to do
• 1:44:24
  though sometimes. I get it.
• 1:44:26
  But as of right now, you know, a year from now and then you you
• 1:44:31
  know a. Year let's do like.
• 1:44:33
  Three weeks? What if it FS up his whole game
• 1:44:36
  season? That's on him, you know, have a.
• 1:44:39
  Like I just think whenever we're past it, then we can make fun of
• 1:44:43
  it. Once he does a bike Sprint event
• 1:44:45
  and he's fine, then we can make fun of it.
• 1:44:49
  I'm going to do this Internet. I would, I would hate to do
• 1:44:53
  that. That's.
• 1:44:54
  Fine, that's fine. I just think you're a Dick if
• 1:44:56
  you make fun of it right now. The the other, but the good news
• 1:44:59
  coming out of it is Mr. Saxon Pan Chick will be actually
• 1:45:02
  making it to Rogue. So he finished third in the
• 1:45:05
  qualifier. He he was first, got a penalty
• 1:45:09
  bumped down to third. They only took two this year.
• 1:45:12
  He is going to return. So he's going to return to
• 1:45:15
  competition and make his his return debut in in Scotland.
• 1:45:21
  So I saw a story where he basically found out that he got
• 1:45:26
  the invite and went straight to his garage and started cleaning
• 1:45:28
  out his garage to start training.
• 1:45:31
  Like he's been training but right But.
• 1:45:33
  Like you get that like a drainage and he.
• 1:45:34
  Went out there. No, no, no.
• 1:45:35
  It was just like I got to get, I got to.
• 1:45:38
  I got a week. I got to get fit for next so.
• 1:45:44
  No, it'd be good to see him back out.
• 1:45:46
  There Hey, I apologize for this and ask for your oh.
• 1:45:49
  My God, this is unfair, this. Is unfair treatment.
• 1:45:54
  I thought I was going to use it again and I never and I didn't
• 1:45:57
  and I said what is your Venmo? These comments cannot be made if
• 1:46:02
  I say what's your Venmo so I can give you money?
• 1:46:04
  Just like my computer being open is my fault, Jenny, I told.
• 1:46:09
  But this is your fault for letting John borrow the car.
• 1:46:12
  This is on you. No, I thought I was going to use
• 1:46:15
  it again. I had used it like 4 times in
• 1:46:19
  two days. So I was like, OK, I'm just
• 1:46:21
  going to use, I'm going to, I'm going to fill it.
• 1:46:23
  I'm going to fill up. I'm going to fill up the car
• 1:46:25
  next time I use it. And then I never used it again.
• 1:46:31
  And then she's like, hey, I thought you were going to get
• 1:46:34
  gas. And I was like, oh, shoot,
• 1:46:35
  you're so right. I was like, what's your what's
• 1:46:38
  your Venmo? Let me venue money and then she
• 1:46:40
  wouldn't take it Then she wouldn't take it.
• 1:46:42
  That's that's fine. Well, look at these comments
• 1:46:45
  though. She's.
• 1:46:47
  Just mad that you called her out.
• 1:46:48
  I can't believe you. She let you drive it.
• 1:46:50
  If you would have asked let me drive your car, told you to go
• 1:46:53
  fuck yourself. I'm.
• 1:46:55
  Yeah, but you're weird with cars like.
• 1:46:56
  I am weird. You're very, you're very
• 1:46:58
  protective. And then Harry Lightfoot, he's
• 1:47:03
  in now too, so he's in place for Noah.
• 1:47:07
  So next weekend, spin cast, Rogue invitation and we'll be
• 1:47:12
  back. We are not waking up at 2:00 or
• 1:47:15
  3:00 AM to go watch the strong women compete.
• 1:47:18
  So. I'm saying.
• 1:47:22
  I I'll turn, I'll set up the shows if you want to wake up on
• 1:47:24
  your own, John and and do a solo show.
• 1:47:27
  But no, it's OK. I don't.
• 1:47:28
  I don't have. A baby then.
• 1:47:31
  I don't have an Emmy to watch. I didn't have a baby then.
• 1:47:34
  Either watch her, snort her, her smelling salts over and over and
• 1:47:38
  over again. Can't do that.
• 1:47:40
  Yeah, I'm not doing that ever again.
• 1:47:42
  You guys got one good laugh out of that.
• 1:47:44
  That's it. But no, there's nine events.
• 1:47:49
  We'll do Spin cast preview show next week.
• 1:47:54
  Are we allowed to stream or no? No, it's rogue.
• 1:47:57
  You'll never be able to do that. OK.
• 1:48:02
  Just trying to think a way around like what if we?
• 1:48:05
  Maybe Pedro? Maybe Pedro could ask Katie for
• 1:48:08
  us. What we'll do, I got it, I got
• 1:48:11
  it. We will start a new YouTube
• 1:48:14
  channel every time. So until they disable it, but it
• 1:48:19
  won't be this YouTube channel, we'll just send it out.
• 1:48:23
  So they'll disable that one. We'll just create a new one.
• 1:48:26
  They they do that, they actually do that for the Cycling World
• 1:48:29
  Championships like a YouTube channel.
• 1:48:31
  They you're not allowed to stream it.
• 1:48:34
  It doesn't get streamed anywhere.
• 1:48:37
  And there is a guy that just like streams it and then as soon
• 1:48:42
  as they take him down, he's already got another one ready to
• 1:48:44
  go. I mean, like he just, he just
• 1:48:46
  keeps doing it and like his name is like it's something one and
• 1:48:52
  then the next one's something 2 something 3.
• 1:48:54
  And then he's like and like that way it's not the same channel,
• 1:48:57
  right? And he can't get like flagged
• 1:48:58
  and he just every time the world championship happens, he's like
• 1:49:02
  he's the and, and every time you can almost time it, it's like 26
• 1:49:07
  minutes before they take it down.
• 1:49:08
  And like you like gives like a 5 minute warning like, hey,
• 1:49:11
  they're down at this time. And then go to this, go to so
• 1:49:15
  and so for. And it's like, it's pretty
• 1:49:18
  great. Like if you, if you're, you
• 1:49:20
  know, you're a fan of it, that he does that.
• 1:49:22
  So we could be those guys, but they would.
• 1:49:26

• 1:49:29
  Stoltman likes? We invited her on the show and
• 1:49:32
  she accepted, and then and then John got shit all over and then
• 1:49:38
  she was like, yeah, maybe not. I mean, she was a part of that.
• 1:49:42
  And then she was like, you know what?
• 1:49:44
  I'm not going to add value to your show, right?
• 1:49:48
  Like girl. OK, thank you.
