Lunch with the Clydesdale - Colten Can't Win the Games! · Clydesdale Media Podcast

0:02
All morning,
0:03
I've been catching up on listening to
0:04
people talk.
0:05
Now it's our turn.
0:18
I love the chase and the hunt,
0:19
and I set the pace when I'm running.
0:21
I always take what I want,
0:22
and I always give it one hundred.
0:24
Don't need a bank, no I'm funded.
0:25
Play the game like it's nothing.
0:27
I'm always thankful for something.
0:28
Don't take for granted, stay humble.
0:30
Now wake up!
0:31
It's time to look at the enemy.
0:33
Look in the mirror if he is no
0:35
friend to me.
0:36
It's not working out,
0:38
maybe it's the chemistry.
0:39
It's time to break up so I can
0:41
make a better me.
0:46
It's lunch time!
0:49
What is going on, everybody?
0:51
We are back and better than ever.
0:53
It is lunch with the Clydesdale.
0:55

Hit that subscribe button, please.
1:00
There are like forty percent of you that
1:02
listen to the show every day and you're
1:04
freeloading and not subscribing to the
1:06
show.
1:09
Click the button.
1:10
Just hit it.
1:11
Just.
1:13
Yep.
1:13
Click.
1:14
Done.
1:16
Done.
1:18
I'm ready to noise.
1:20
If you're on the phone,
1:21
you can just use your finger.
1:23
If you need to use your mouse, look.
1:25
Tap it one time.
1:27
Before we get into this too far,
1:31
I got a bone to pick, Mr.
1:33
John George.
1:37
Okay.
1:41
At the old folks home.
1:44
I'm sad that you're suffering,
1:46
but you can take that sixty three and
1:48
shove it right up.
1:52
You know where I was telling Corey up
1:55
here in Ohio,
1:56
we can't pick what we want to be.
1:58
And so Sunday it was shorts weather.
2:01
Monday I'm shoveling snow.
2:03
I'm over it.
2:04
I'm over the up and down.
2:06
Pick one.
2:07
If you want to stay winter forever,
2:08
I can deal with that better than.
2:12
Picking,
2:13
just floating on the fence between summer
2:15
and winter.
2:16
It's freaking ridiculous.
2:19
It's the false hope.
2:21
That's the whole problem, right?
2:23
It's like,
2:23
if it's just going to be cold,
2:24
I can deal with that.
2:25
I'll leave the heat on.
2:26
I'll wear a jacket,
2:27
whatever I got to do.
2:28
But it's that, oh shit, it's nice outside.
2:32
The sun's shining.
2:33
The birds are chirping.
2:34
All of that good stuff.
2:36
And then two days later,
2:38
it's like I'm digging myself out so I
2:39
can leave out the driveway.
2:41
Frozen on the ground.
2:43
Yeah.
2:44
Yeah.
2:44
Mark Phillips, you're right.
2:45
All those disgusting freeloaders just
2:48
listening in, not subscribing.
2:57
Vicky says Nashville is forty three right
2:59
now was twenty eight when I woke up.
3:02
I think we're supposed to get above
3:03
freezing at some point during the day.
3:07
So living in Ohio sounds like the absolute
3:10
worst punishment.
3:12
Well,
3:12
right now it is like it is just
3:15
the saying here is if you don't like
3:16
the weather,
3:17
just wait ten minutes and it'll change.
3:22
I lived in Tallahassee,
3:23
Florida for four years, though,
3:25
and the weather never changed.
3:28
It was hot, humid and sweaty.
3:31
Three hundred and sixty days out of three
3:33
hundred sixty five.
3:36
Breezy.
3:38
No breeze.
3:38
No breeze in Tallahassee.
3:40
Really?
3:41
None.
3:42
Get out.
3:42
You're an hour from the Gulf,
3:44
so you don't even get anything from that.
3:48
It is literally in the armpit of Florida.
3:51
It feels like an armpit.
3:54
I would have lost a bit to say
3:56
that y'all wouldn't get in the Gulf
3:57
breeze.
4:00
Mid-nineties in Southern California,
4:02
and it's not even winter yet.
4:05
Where's the...
4:10
Only thing good about that state is rogue
4:12
fitness.
4:14
Well, and then we are here.
4:18
Let's say and Scott,
4:19
let's go ahead and get that out there.
4:21
Well, there.
4:25
Now, Daniel, I you're going too far.
4:35
john, George, hey,
4:36
if you want to live the life,
4:37
hit me up,
4:37
make my I make dreams come true.
4:42
Out there in the village.
4:44
Yes, thank you, Vicky.
4:45
And Scott.
4:50
I heard a Roman rogue was there because
4:52
Scott was there.
4:55
Yeah,
4:55
everybody thinks that I'm here because a
4:57
rogue.
4:57
Rogue is here because of me.
4:58
Correct.
5:01
Yeah, I wish.
5:03
I wish I got on that train.
5:05
Right?
5:07
Dear Bill and Katie.
5:10
Fifteen years ago when they were meddling
5:12
in their garage, I wish I had said,
5:14
hey, need some help?
5:15
Building pull-up bars by hand.
5:19
Yeah, that would have been fantastic.
5:20
Yeah.
5:20
All right,
5:24
so I made the title of this show,
5:29
Colton Can't Win the Games.
5:31
And I did that because I wanted Kenneth
5:33
to lap in the chat early,
5:36
ready to go with both guns of blaring.
5:38
Oh, he's loaded up.
5:39
I guarantee.
5:41
And so I was watching, uh,
5:45
beyond the whiteboard around the
5:47
whiteboard, whatever the,
5:49
I think it's around the whiteboard
5:51
whiteboard.
5:52
And so I,
5:53
I clipped a piece from that and they
5:55
asked the question,
5:58
they asked the question,
5:59
can wit Colton win the games?
6:02
And, uh,
6:03
this was basically their response.
6:08
you read the papers do you know what
6:10
everybody says it's suicide you know how
6:14
strong he is you can't win have you
6:19
read the papers so that's that's directly
6:23
from around the whiteboard yesterday when
6:28
they asked that question oh
6:33
I was tuned in.
6:34
I had to make a choice yesterday.
6:36
And as much as I love her on
6:37
the whiteboard,
6:38
because I think it's a fun show,
6:39
I went and listened to Bill and Chase
6:42
talking about the open instead.
6:46
So I pose the question to you.
6:49
Are you with Seth and John and Adrian?
6:54
Which Adrian?
7:01
Adrian Balboa.
7:01
Adrian Balboa.
7:06
I would not rule it out that he
7:08
can.
7:09
I would never rule it out that he
7:10
can.
7:11
I just wouldn't do it.
7:12
I've seen a dude do too many things
7:16
that people said that he wasn't going to
7:17
be able to do,
7:19
and then he just came back and was
7:20
like, oh, I can't do that?
7:23
Okay.
7:24
And just came back and did it.
7:26
Would I pick him to win?
7:27
No, not at all.
7:30
I wouldn't.
7:30
I think he is better as a perpetual
7:32
underdog at this point.
7:36
having said that, the field,
7:38
the men's field especially,
7:40
is still ridiculous and still wide-ass
7:42
open.
7:43
I mean, just look at last year.
7:45
It's absolutely insane.
7:47
Do I think he can?
7:49
I won't rule it out.
7:50
I won't say one hundred percent one way
7:52
or the other.
7:52
I will be that wishy-washy on-the-fence
7:54
guy.
7:56
But I would never rule him out of
7:58
any competition that he's in.
7:59
So,
8:05
I've said it.
8:05
I've,
8:06
I have been pretty crystal clear on this
8:08
show as to whether he can win the
8:11
games or not.
8:13
Right.
8:13
Yeah.
8:14
And I,
8:15
I do not believe he can win the
8:16
games.
8:17
Sure.
8:19
There is not a person that I adore
8:23
on the men's side more than I adore
8:26
Colton.
8:28
Right.
8:29
Um,
8:31
I,
8:32
I consider him a friend I've hung out
8:34
with him after competitions.
8:36
I have interviewed him tons of times.
8:39
Um, Ali's awesome too.
8:42
Like I've, I've hung with them.
8:43
I know them,
8:45
but I truly believe that the games are
8:49
a four day competition.
8:51
I know it's advertised as three,
8:53
but we know they're going to the ranch
8:54
on Thursday.
8:57
So it's going to be a four day
8:58
competition.
9:00
I think in a two-day competition like
9:03
Mayhem last year or other semifinal type
9:08
events,
9:09
he can compete because they're shorter.
9:13
I think when it comes to the games
9:14
and more events,
9:17
the amount he has to overcome to beat
9:20
people in events becomes larger.
9:24
And the toll it takes on his body
9:26
through the weekend is too much for him
9:30
to win the games.
9:34
And that's my way of saying that he
9:37
is proving that on any given day,
9:41
on any given workout,
9:42
he can overcome whatever limitation he has
9:45
with this height and he can beat anybody
9:48
in the world.
9:49
But when you put together ten or twelve
9:51
events,
9:53
it is too much for his body to
9:56
take in one weekend.
10:00
Yeah,
10:00
you're saying that there's something he
10:01
can overcome in a couple of events.
10:03
Having to keep doing that over and over
10:05
and over again is just going to end
10:06
up taking its toll where somebody who's
10:08
just bigger doesn't necessarily have the
10:11
same amount of problems, right?
10:13
Right.
10:15
Yeah.
10:16
Mike DeVito.
10:19
Mike says that's the same reason he hasn't
10:20
podiumed the games.
10:22
Yeah.
10:25
I get that.
10:26
I'm going to put this to you.
10:31
You said the same thing about him for
10:33
twenty six point one.
10:37
I didn't say the same thing about him
10:39
about I because in any individual event,
10:43
he can overcome that one event.
10:47
He is so fit and so able to
10:51
go to a place that others can't go
10:53
for one, two,
10:56
four events that he can win any of
10:58
those competitions.
11:00
It's when we get to ten,
11:03
twelve events that the toll is going to
11:07
be too much.
11:13
I didn't pick him to win event one
11:15
of the Open,
11:16
but I didn't say he didn't have a
11:17
chance.
11:19
No.
11:20
But as soon as Wall Balls came out,
11:21
you were probably like, oh, fuck,
11:23
here we go.
11:26
No, I...
11:28
In no way, picking him not to win,
11:33
was looking at the field and thinking,
11:36
who has the best shot?
11:37
I didn't think he didn't have a chance.
11:40
Like,
11:42
if you would have asked me that day,
11:44
I would have said he had a twenty-five
11:45
percent chance to win that event.
11:47
You ask me if he can win the
11:48
games, I'd put it at one percent.
11:53
Okay, so what about podiums?
11:56
I don't think so.
11:57
Again, I think it's too much.
11:59
And I think because when it falls off,
12:02
like,
12:03
and it's an event where his body just
12:05
can't overcome the obstacle,
12:08
he gets a thirty-place finish or a
12:10
twenty-seventh-place finish.
12:12
And that's too much to overcome on those
12:15
weekends.
12:18
You're talking about a guy whose best
12:20
finish ever
12:23
Was tenth last year, eleventh?
12:25
Tenth or eleventh?
12:27
I'd have to go look it up.
12:29
Right?
12:30
Before that was nineteenth?
12:32
Before that, we were talking,
12:34
didn't even make the first cut.
12:37
And the dude's a legend and he's going
12:38
to go down in history as one of
12:40
the coolest great athletes we've ever
12:44
seen.
12:45
It's just that makeup of that competition
12:48
is not feasible for him.
12:53
Twelfth last year.
12:56
So that's his highest finish ever.
13:00
And all of a sudden he's going to
13:01
make a nine place jump to a podium
13:05
position.
13:14
sorry i got lost in the comments for
13:16
a second we we can say that if
13:17
his rope hadn't but he's not he's still
13:20
not near podium so but if he's not
13:24
near podium but he's up nearer the podium
13:28
than twelfth place i don't know man i
13:31
just i've seen i'm a big believer in
13:36
watching people trend and he has been
13:38
trending upwards since he got here
13:40
Every time somebody says he can't do
13:42
something,
13:42
he comes out the next year and he
13:44
says, oh,
13:44
remember when you said I couldn't do this?
13:46
Well, now check this out.
13:48
And then the next year comes out and
13:49
he's, well, he's not real good at this.
13:51
And then that comes out and it just
13:54
happens.
13:56
So, again,
13:57
I'm not picking him by any stretch of
13:59
the imagination,
13:59
but I think that his upside is way,
14:05
way bigger than his perceived limitations
14:09
are.
14:09
Put it to you like that.
14:12
Dude, I completely disagree.
14:14
I understand.
14:15
You can.
14:16
You're not five foot six.
14:20
People have been underestimating me my
14:22
entire fucking life as well.
14:24
And I love it now.
14:25
I bank on it.
14:27
I want to be.
14:28
I also want all the smoke and I
14:30
feel like he does too.
14:32
But he's not five, six either.
14:34
No, he's two inches shorter than I am.
14:35
Right.
14:36
At least.
14:39
And that is going to play a role
14:41
in a longer competition.
14:45
I agree with you when you say when
14:47
people tell him he can't do this,
14:49
he goes and does that.
14:52
But the cumulative effect of having to
14:54
overcome all of those things that he
14:57
couldn't do, time after time,
14:59
event after event,
15:01
takes a toll on the body that someone
15:05
that is naturally suited for those
15:07
movements doesn't have to overcome.
15:13
And by the end of a long weekend,
15:17
it takes its toll.
15:22
The dude has Matt Frazier's.
15:25
He is more head strong,
15:29
mindset strong than Matt Frazier.
15:34
He has no excuses.
15:36
I love it.
15:37
None.
15:37
I absolutely love it.
15:39
There's absolutely no bullshit in him
15:43
whatsoever.
15:46
It's probably my favorite thing about the
15:49
dude.
15:50
Nobody trains harder.
15:53
Nobody has done more to get more out
15:56
of their, their body than he has.
15:59
Not even trains harder.
16:00
Think about the fact that he still runs
16:03
the pig farm.
16:05
He still has coatings, teeny weenies,
16:08
and they're selling soap now.
16:09
And like,
16:09
he has all of this shit going on
16:11
and is still competition ready right now.
16:15
Right this second.
16:16
If the game started tomorrow,
16:19
The one person I know for a fact
16:20
would be ready to go, games prep ready,
16:24
knock it out, is Colton Burns.
16:27
Wayne asks, who's better,
16:28
Colton or Prime Bridges?
16:30
The competition Bridges went up versus the
16:32
competition that Colton is currently going
16:35
up is night and day.
16:37
It's not the same thing.
16:37
Colton would crush Bridges.
16:40
Yeah, I would agree to that.
16:45
I agree with that.
16:46
And it wouldn't even be close.
16:47
The men's athlete field is so much deeper
16:50
today than it ever was back then.
16:57
It is ridiculous what Colton has overcome.
17:02
Yeah, and look.
17:08
That's not what I was talking about,
17:09
but yeah.
17:11
No, just the moves better, moves better,
17:13
moves better, moves better.
17:14
He absolutely moves better than Josh ever
17:16
did.
17:18
Ever did.
17:19
Josh moved pretty well in Colton.
17:21
It makes him look like somebody who just
17:23
started down on ramp.
17:28
So Shana says that a long run isn't
17:31
good for him.
17:32
Can he ever make that up?
17:33
And then Train Olive says, Shana,
17:36
if he can become a middle of the
17:37
pack athlete on those events,
17:39
that will be huge for him.
17:40
But you're asking him to out-train and
17:46
out-work his body on a long list of
17:50
things now.
17:53
Everything that he's bad at,
17:54
he's got to be better than anybody else
17:56
has ever been at his size at.
18:00
And he's got to do that for six
18:03
events out of twelve instead of some
18:06
athletes that have to do that for three
18:08
or two.
18:09
And my argument is, yes,
18:13
he can do that for one event,
18:15
but doing it over the course of a
18:17
weekend for six events is too much for
18:21
the body to take.
18:26
I'm looking at his scores from last year.
18:33
see lots of reps to travel distances
18:37
mid-pack effort for him is a compact
18:40
pickup truck chasing corvettes game boy
18:44
have six events last year no so why
18:48
why is it eight or nine yeah somewhere
18:59
oh there we go yep i thought there
19:00
was some
19:03
James has improved in things that he was
19:05
bad at and things that aren't typically
19:07
big guy movement events.
19:09
But you cannot argue, Trent,
19:12
that the whole programming of the CrossFit
19:18
Games has moved to a bigger power output
19:25
athlete.
19:27
So not only has Colton overcome all of
19:31
these things, at the very same time,
19:34
the programming has moved in a direction
19:37
where it is all about power output.
19:42
It is bikes.
19:43
It is rowers.
19:44
It is skiergs.
19:47
It is rope climbs.
19:49
It is all these things that actually have
19:52
made it easier.
19:54
Now,
19:54
James has been remarkable at his
19:56
improvement.
19:57
And James is way younger than Colton.
20:00
So James had to grow into his own
20:02
body and get comfortable there.
20:05
And once he got comfortable,
20:07
the improvement happened.
20:08
But along with that,
20:10
the programming has moved in the direction
20:13
of a bigger athlete.
20:20
The, uh, the one where his rope broke,
20:21
that was all crossed up.
20:22
Is that right?
20:24
Yep.
20:25
That wasn't his worst finish.
20:29
Yeah.
20:29
His worst finish was the wrong goal run,
20:31
obviously.
20:35
But yeah, the one where his rope broke,
20:38
I mean, it was still a twentieth.
20:41
The run-rope run was twenty-six.
20:44
Got one, two, three,
20:50
four events outside of the top twenty.
20:57
Last year.
20:58
So bottom third on four events.
21:01
And then two,
21:02
also had a nineteenth and a seventeenth.
21:08
won the squad second on hammer down
21:13
eleventh on throttle up and was still his
21:20
best games today the first place on on
21:23
the back squad really really really really
21:26
helped his case and then uh the second
21:28
on on hammer down so
21:31
I unfortunately have been in those
21:33
situations where I have done really,
21:35
really well on a couple of events and
21:37
then just absolutely shit to bed on a
21:39
couple of other ones.
21:40
And that's where you end up is somewhere
21:42
middle of the pack,
21:43
just kind of middling about because you
21:45
have to be more consistent.
21:47
You can't have,
21:48
you can have one kind of bad event.
21:50
You cannot have one.
21:52
Holy shit.
21:52
This is terrible event because you end up
21:55
middle of the pack,
21:56
no matter what else you do.
21:57
Like you, you just can't,
22:02
So John George is like, don't,
22:03
I don't think it's about his ability for
22:04
his body to hold up.
22:06
It's just,
22:07
he is constantly behind the eight ball
22:08
when there's a dumb ass machine getting in
22:11
the way on every event.
22:13
I don't think it's again,
22:16
we can argue this all we want,
22:18
but Corey just listed that half of the
22:20
events,
22:22
he was in the bottom half of the
22:23
finishing.
22:25
More than half.
22:26
That's a long list of things that he's
22:29
got to get to mid-level to compete.
22:33
It's not just one thing.
22:37
I'll put it to you like this.
22:38
It is going to be fun to watch
22:40
him compete this year.
22:43
like at semifinals and then at the games
22:45
just to see exactly what the man does.
22:48
I don't know if there's anybody who's got
22:49
more hype around him to just out of
22:52
pure sheer curiosity, if nothing else,
22:55
Hey,
22:56
what is this dude going to do this
22:57
year?
22:59
There's hype around him too,
23:00
because he's just a great dude.
23:03
Right.
23:04
He is adored and loved in this space
23:09
because of everything he has done.
23:12
People would have told him,
23:14
they did tell him five years ago,
23:16
you got no shot.
23:18
You got no shot to make the games.
23:21
And then he does it, right?
23:22
And so he becomes the Rocky of CrossFit.
23:25
He becomes the ultimate underdog.
23:28
And he probably has more fans than any
23:31
other athlete at the games.
23:34
Because he's just a great dude.
23:39
Who has given more to this than anyone
23:43
else.
23:43
And he's willing to take on anybody,
23:46
any day,
23:47
any time in a workout and go a
23:51
mano a mano at any point.
23:54
He is the best shit talker we have
23:56
currently.
23:57
And it's not even close.
24:00
It's not even close.
24:01
Like the banter that the boys have,
24:03
it's not real, right?
24:05
It's just them messing with each other.
24:07
It's somewhat real,
24:07
but it's not really real.
24:09
When Colton comes out and says,
24:11
all these nerds knew I was fixing to
24:13
win this event,
24:14
he means that from his soul.
24:17
And he'll tell him before the thing, go,
24:18
hey, I'm fixing to win this event.
24:20
You guys know that, right?
24:21
And he's going to step on the floor
24:22
and just knock it out.
24:24
His social media is unmatched.
24:27
I don't give a damn what anybody says.
24:28
That one where he just posted like earlier
24:31
this week,
24:32
waiting to see if he won the Open
24:33
when he's just like standing out in the
24:34
snow.
24:36
And it's recreating that, bro,
24:39
it's fantastic.
24:41
His post-match interviews are absolutely
24:45
fantastic because he just says whatever's
24:47
on his brain.
24:48
It's awesome.
24:51
And it's come such a far way from
24:53
when he first showed up because none of
24:56
that stuff was happening.
24:58
It's fantastic.
25:03
Vicky said if he had just hit twelfth
25:05
place on those events,
25:06
puts him easily in seventh or eighth
25:08
place.
25:09
That's a big jump.
25:10
And if I win the lottery,
25:12
I ain't here tomorrow.
25:14
I would be here tomorrow if you won
25:15
the lottery.
25:17
But...
25:20
There's four events he has to get better
25:22
on at the games.
25:24
And not just a little bit better.
25:25
Twenty-sixth to twelfth is a huge jump.
25:30
Does he win during the Matt Rich era?
25:32
No.
25:33
I don't think he wins.
25:35
But I do think...
25:37
I do think he could podium during that
25:40
era.
25:41
He could have podiumed during the Rich era
25:43
for damn sure.
25:44
Probably during Matt as well.
25:46
Not when.
25:46
Nobody was beating Matt.
25:48
Right.
25:48
Nobody.
25:48
And I don't think anybody beats rich.
25:53
Rich was the best on Sunday we've ever
25:55
seen.
25:55
Like he just overcame whatever else was
25:57
going on.
25:57
And then he won everything on Sunday and
25:59
went home with it, with his titles.
26:01
Could he have podium during the rich area?
26:04
Absolute era.
26:04
Absolutely.
26:05
Also that he could have pulled him during
26:06
the mat area because who came in second
26:09
at Brent at Brent, right.
26:14
religiously over and over again.
26:16
And he would have been right there in
26:19
that mix.
26:20
Lucas, Hoagberg, like, you know,
26:22
those type of guys who,
26:24
aside from Pat and Brent,
26:25
like Hoagberg showed up that year ready,
26:29
ended up on the podium,
26:30
and then you haven't really heard from him
26:31
since then.
26:34
Pat and Brent have hung around and been
26:37
reliable as far as that kind of stuff.
26:39
You know what you're going to get out
26:40
of them year after year.
26:42
But I think Colton,
26:43
if he'd have been in his prime,
26:46
in his bag,
26:47
whatever you want to call it,
26:48
during those years, then he'd absolutely,
26:51
if he'd have been who he is now,
26:52
then sure, he'd actually,
26:54
I think he would have definitely got on
26:55
the podium.
26:57
Now, David Reed says, if Hopper can win,
26:59
Colton can win.
27:01
I really think you guys are blinded by
27:02
your love for Colton.
27:06
Hopper is a freak athlete.
27:10
And
27:12
And he did win the games.
27:14
Look at his finishes last time, last year.
27:18
Like, it was consistent.
27:21
You guys are nuts.
27:23
And to be honest,
27:25
I love that you love him that much.
27:28
I love that you guys love him that
27:29
much because I do too.
27:32
I just am looking at the facts and
27:34
there's no possible way.
27:36
So Hopper's worst finish was a seventeenth
27:39
on throttle up.
27:41
Second worst finish was an eleventh on
27:43
running Isabel.
27:45
Everything else was inside the top ten.
27:48
And he won climbing couplet and came in
27:52
second on going dark, third on Atlas.
27:55
That's hard to argue with.
28:05
Remove the machines and Hopper doesn't
28:07
win.
28:08
You can say that about any champion from
28:11
any games and take away an element and
28:14
say that they don't win.
28:16
Remove the rope climb from Rich Froning.
28:18
He never falls off of it and wins
28:19
the game.
28:20
Instead of four.
28:20
Yeah.
28:24
You can throw those hypotheticals.
28:26
And if you think we're getting rid of
28:27
the machines at this point, you're high.
28:35
You've been dipping into the Alex Kazan
28:37
gummies.
28:45
We experienced this with Spieler.
28:47
Colton is our Boise State.
28:49
Or in March Madness,
28:50
he's our Loyola Chicago.
28:52
Exactly.
28:54
And that's why he's adored because he's
28:55
overcome so much to get so far.
28:58
And when people told him he couldn't do
29:00
it and,
29:02
and I love that people love him that
29:05
much, but you cannot be,
29:07
you just cannot be looking at it from
29:11
an analytical side and think that he has
29:15
a chance.
29:20
The hypotheticals make me think it's
29:21
finally a real sport.
29:23
Right?
29:24
This is what baseball guys do all the
29:25
time.
29:27
Well,
29:27
if Babe Ruth went up against Roger
29:29
Clemens,
29:31
he wouldn't have won a single signing
29:33
award.
29:34
Absolutely.
29:36
If the professor would have been pitching
29:38
to Bo Jackson,
29:40
he wouldn't have hit all them or whatever.
29:41
Like, man, it's not the same thing, dog.
29:44
It's really, really not.
29:45
Baseball guys do it.
29:46
They love stats.
29:47
They will throw that kind of stuff all
29:49
the way down.
29:52
CrossFat says,
29:53
Colton's putting me in some FOS now for
29:55
that comment.
29:56
I am sure that I am moving right
29:58
to the top of the list.
30:00
You know what?
30:01
Good.
30:01
But if it makes him better and he
30:03
wins, I would be happy.
30:05
If, honest to God, if he won,
30:08
nobody would be happier for that dude than
30:10
I am.
30:11
Well, maybe Kenneth.
30:12
Probably Kenneth.
30:13
Probably Kenneth.
30:14
Probably Kenneth.
30:15
Other than Kenneth,
30:16
no one would be happier.
30:18
then I would be not even,
30:19
not even Allie.
30:21
I am.
30:22
I adore that dude.
30:23
I'm just looking at it from an analytical
30:26
sense and saying it just,
30:28
it's not going to happen.
30:31
All those teams that CrossFit mentioned,
30:33
how many of them won the national
30:35
championship?
30:38
Yeah, that'd be none.
30:38
Zero.
30:39
They had some upsets.
30:41
They had some big wins.
30:43
They did some great things.
30:44
We all were super pumped and we all
30:46
watched to see how far they go.
30:48
But at the end of the day,
30:49
it was Duke and Kentucky and all the
30:52
people that we thought were going to win
30:53
in the first place.
30:57
It's very,
30:58
very rare that the Cinderella story
31:00
actually ends in a happy ending.
31:02
Right.
31:05
That's why it's a fairy tale.
31:07
Exactly.
31:09
And the only time we see the happy
31:10
ending is when we turn on a Disney
31:11
movie.
31:18
Yeah.
31:18
CrossFit, you're wrong too.
31:20
Colton does not peak for the open.
31:22
Colton has always peaked.
31:26
Sorry, Mike.
31:28
Colton's ready to go at any given time.
31:29
Ask him.
31:30
He will tell you.
31:31
He is ready to go right now.
31:34
Colton falls under that.
31:35
If you stay ready,
31:37
you don't have to get ready every single
31:40
time.
31:46
If Babe Ruth went against Shohei,
31:48
he'd say some bad words.
31:50
Some real bad ones.
31:55
Some real bad ones.
31:56
That one hit me.
31:58
Some World War II bad ones.
32:00
You know what I'm saying?
32:04
Yes,
32:04
Colton would have been an absolute problem
32:08
from twenty twelve to twenty eighteen.
32:10
I believe that if Colton was taller,
32:12
y'all would.
32:16
But he's not.
32:18
Again, more hypotheticals.
32:22
Pick him to win if he was taller.
32:23
Sure, but he's not.
32:29
So.
32:34
Colton would have been a problem in twenty
32:35
twelve.
32:36
I think he's on the podium in twenty
32:39
eighteen.
32:40
Look at Colton doing push pull.
32:44
Or what is two-stroke pull?
32:48
Bro,
32:49
that would have been a race right there.
32:52
Colton doing, even before then,
32:54
or not before then, after then,
32:56
Colton doing strongman's fear.
32:59
If Wemby was shorter,
33:00
he wouldn't be Wemby.
33:03
And Shanna says, if Colton were taller,
33:05
he wouldn't be Colton.
33:06
If Colton would be taller,
33:07
we would not be talking about him like
33:08
we are.
33:09
Right.
33:10
He'd just be another guy.
33:12
He'd be in the top,
33:14
but because he is who he is,
33:16
he's special.
33:18
A hundred percent.
33:21
And because I am the king of transitions.
33:24
Here we go.
33:25
Vicky's helping me out today.
33:27

34:41
A major award.
34:42
You will receive a major award if you
34:45
win either bracket.
34:49
Most of us just want Jamie to lose.
34:51
Keep Jamie from getting the major award.
34:54
Mostly, we just need Jamie to lose.
34:56
That's it.
34:56
It really doesn't matter what else
34:57
happens.
34:57
We just need Jamie to lose.
35:03
The March Madness music is already in my
35:05
head, but I never need a Dickie V.
35:06
Charles Booth again.
35:08
Yeah.
35:10
I just saw highlights.
35:13
It's time for him to move on.
35:16
He's always looked old,
35:18
but I saw the highlights from that this
35:19
morning, and he looks...
35:21
real old right now i didn't realize how
35:24
bad he actually cancer does that to
35:26
anybody man imagine brother but good nest
35:29
and dv all due respect retire brother um
35:34
fragile it must be fragile uh um so
35:48
anyway
35:51
Oh, not two times, six times.
35:54
And he's in his eighties.
35:57
Bless him.
36:01
So, so yeah, that kicks off tomorrow.
36:03
So before tomorrow's show,
36:05
you need to be signed up or you
36:07
miss out on the tournament challenge.
36:11
I think I'm going to sign up this
36:12
year.
36:12
Just see if I can get Jamie knocked
36:14
out.
36:14
I have absolutely no idea who's winning
36:15
anything in college basketball,
36:17
but I'm just going to start going and
36:18
pick games.
36:20
tell you on the women's side I have
36:22
LSU in the final four I mean I
36:25
would never bet against LSU not the
36:27
women's team men's team I would bet
36:29
against them all day long but not so
36:33
much the women's um all right we that
36:38
took up way more of what I thought
36:40
about
36:44
i did want to talk a little bit
36:45
about something i heard with wadapalooza
36:46
and that was that and i think jenny
36:51
said it on her on her dense update
36:52
this morning would she go back next year
36:55
after the experience she had and mark
37:00
phillips i just said i have him in
37:02
the final four i didn't say i'm winning
37:04
anyway so and that's on the women's side
37:07
i do not have them on the men's
37:08
side
37:11
she was saying that would she go back?
37:12
And she did say she had a lot
37:14
of fun,
37:15
even with all the weather and the chaos
37:17
and the whatever.
37:18
Right.
37:19
Every time I went to what a Palooza
37:24
in the airport on the way home,
37:26
I would bump into athletes.
37:28
And every time they're like, wow,
37:30
that was a shit show.
37:33
That was awful.
37:34
I'm never coming back.
37:36
And then the next year I would go
37:38
to water Palooza and those same athletes
37:40
are signed up for water Palooza doing
37:43
water Palooza.
37:46
And so I think in the moment when
37:48
all that chaos happens, you think, well,
37:51
that was awful.
37:52
And I don't ever want to come back
37:54
again.
37:55
And then as time goes by,
37:58
and especially thus in the north,
38:00
it gets cold and you,
38:02
you get distance from that.
38:04
And you're like, you know what?
38:04
It wasn't so bad.
38:06
At least it was warm rain.
38:09
Right.
38:10
It's spring rain instead of January rain
38:13
like it normally is.
38:17
So...
38:19
It's going to be interesting to see the
38:20
effect this year to next year.
38:23
It's going to be interesting to see if
38:24
they stay in March.
38:25
Are they going to get the subsidy again
38:28
to keep it in March?
38:30
Or do they move back to January when
38:32
maybe they get more bigger-named athletes
38:35
to come?
38:38
I think all the big names were in
38:39
the teams,
38:41
and we missed out on some tremendous races
38:44
in the team side because it just never
38:46
really got off the ground.
38:47
No, I mean...
38:49
Individual side,
38:50
it was James and everybody else.
38:56
I mean, he was undeniable, man.
38:57
Good Lord.
38:58
It's like a bad ex-girlfriend.
38:59
You break up at the airport,
39:00
eleven months go by,
39:02
then you think that it wasn't so bad,
39:05
and bam, rain again.
39:08
Well, it's recency bias.
39:12
Oh, yeah, here we go.
39:13
Nothing colder than a cold November rain.
39:20
One of the longest videos I've ever seen
39:22
in my entire life.
39:23
It's reasonably biased why you're still at
39:25
the airport, right?
39:26
You said the airport,
39:27
your clothes are still wet because you
39:28
just got rained on again.
39:30
You just remember shivering and holy shit,
39:32
that was stupid.
39:33
And I was just doing strict pull-ups with
39:34
a vest on in the rain.
39:35
And I'm not ever doing that again.
39:37
That's absolutely ridiculous.
39:40
And then you go home,
39:41
and then you dry out,
39:42
and then springtime happens,
39:43
and the rest of the season goes by,
39:44
and then all of a sudden the qualifiers
39:45
come up for Waterpalooza, and you're like,
39:49
yep, I'm gonna sign up for that.
39:52
Because then you start looking back on it,
39:53
and you start laughing about what happens.
39:54
Sorry.
40:01
The chat's on fire today.
40:02
The chat is on fire today.
40:05
With the Colton thing,
40:06
the chat's on fire today.
40:07
The chat's on fire today.
40:10
And you start looking back on it and
40:11
you're like, I mean, it wasn't so bad.
40:14
It wasn't so bad.
40:15
I mean, it was bad,
40:16
but it wasn't so bad.
40:17
I mean, I still had fun.
40:18
I still talked to this person.
40:20
I still did that.
40:21
I still, you know, you know,
40:25
you make memories, whether good, bad,
40:27
or indifferent.
40:28
You know, I don't think
40:33
I hate to say it's a wait-and-see thing,
40:34
but I really don't think most of those
40:35
people who are like, oh,
40:36
I'm never going back,
40:38
actually mean that they're never going
40:39
back.
40:40
I think that those people with that kind
40:41
of disciplined take on it,
40:45
I guess you said,
40:46
when they say I'm never going back,
40:48
they mean a few and far between,
40:50
especially in this space.
40:51
There's only so many competitions you can
40:52
do.
40:53
There's only one that's on South Beach in
40:55
Miami.
40:58
Right, wrong, or indifferent,
41:00
thunderstorm or no thunderstorm,
41:01
it's just where it is.
41:04
So we had November rain,
41:06
and then CrossFit says,
41:07
probably better than the rains down in
41:09
Africa.
41:09
That's what I was laughing at.
41:12
And then Joseph comes in with,
41:13
as long as it's not a purple rain.
41:16
Now,
41:16
purple rain in Miami for the Super Bowl
41:20
with the Bears versus the Colts may have
41:23
been the greatest halftime performance
41:25
ever in a Super Bowl.
41:26
Not may have been.
41:28
Was.
41:31
Because it was like...
41:33
They just called down the rain.
41:34
It just happened out of nowhere because it
41:36
was not fake rain.
41:37
It was an actual rainstorm.
41:41
Then there was another piece I wanted to
41:42
bring up here real quick.
41:46
Oh, here.
41:47
I bet James and Lucy will be back
41:48
for their third Z straight win.
41:51
The chat is on fire.
41:53
Third Z straight win.
41:55
Don't forget, Code Jazzy.
41:57
It's beautiful.
42:04
And Here Comes the Rain Again was being
42:06
played all day long by the Eurythmics.
42:11
Oh, my gosh.
42:13
I always wonder,
42:14
have you ever seen the rain coming down
42:20
on a sunny day?
42:26
Oh, who stopped the rain?
42:27
I mean,
42:27
there's a whole lot of songs about rain,
42:29
couldn't there?
42:30
There is, man.
42:31
Too bad we weren't sponsored by rain.
42:34
You know what?
42:35
I'm okay with that.
42:36
I'm okay with that.
42:39
However,
42:40
if Ghost is laying around on C-Force,
42:43
though... Yeah.
42:46
We'll take it.
42:47
CCR does talk a lot about the rain.
42:49
That's a fact.
42:49
That's because they grew up in Louisiana.
42:52
I mean, what are you going to do?
42:55
Just don't set fire to the rain.
42:57
All right,
42:57
now you're moving into too much modern
42:59
music for me.
43:00
That Adele stuff...
43:02
I can't hit the Adele notes, Joseph.
43:04
Now you're asking too much.
43:06
Nor am I going to try.
43:07
All right.
43:10
Here's my last rant of the day,
43:12
and then I've got to get back to
43:13
work.
43:14
Okay.
43:15
I was watching the WOD Prep podcast from
43:17
last night because they did another one
43:20
because everybody bailed on CJ Monday
43:22
night.
43:22
So they did one last night,
43:24
and it ended up being John, Brian, Friend,
43:27
and CJ.
43:30
They were complaining about...
43:33
Wait,
43:34
John was complaining about something?
43:35
Get out of here.
43:36
They were complaining about...
43:38
CJ was making a valid complaint about
43:42
didn't like invites to semifinals and
43:45
didn't like the fact that Mayhem programs
43:48
every event of semifinals when they are a
43:52
coaching group of athletes, right?
43:56
Absolutely.
43:57
And he said a lot of nice things
43:59
about...
44:01
mayhem in the process,
44:02
but was saying those are two things he
44:04
didn't like.
44:05
And Brian was saying, well,
44:06
they're playing by the rules they were
44:07
given, right?
44:09
Those are the rules that are out there.
44:10
And I don't debate that at all.
44:12
But then he made a statement that it's,
44:17
and he didn't mention any names because
44:19
that's what he's good at,
44:21
is he was saying that the person running
44:24
the CrossFit game season allows all this.
44:31
What pissed me off is you're blaming Dave
44:36
for the structure of the CrossFit game
44:38
season like he independently created it.
44:46
I am sure as shit that if Dave
44:50
Castro had his druthers,
44:52
we would be back to two thousand
44:54
seventeen,
44:55
two thousand eighteen with the open,
44:59
with regionals, with the games.
45:02
Other people made decisions,
45:05
financial at first,
45:08
to go away from that structure.
45:11
Yeah.
45:12
Because they went away from that
45:14
structure,
45:15
we have been the dog trying to catch
45:18
his tail,
45:19
trying to figure this out ever since then.
45:24
So the fact is,
45:26
it's not just Dave making the structure of
45:29
the season.
45:30
Now it's probably Berkshire and the board
45:33
saying, you can do this.
45:35
No, you absolutely cannot do this.
45:38
You cannot do that.
45:40
We need to put it in the hands
45:41
of the third party.
45:43
So they're running semifinals.
45:45
So it gets rid of all of our
45:46
costs, all of our liability,
45:49
and we have nothing to do with it
45:50
anymore.
45:53
You think Dave wanted to give up control
45:55
of the semifinals?
45:57
Of all people.
46:01
To blame him for that thing is one
46:08
of the most preposterous things I've ever
46:10
heard.
46:11
There is no way Dave Castro ever wanted
46:14
to give up control of the structure of
46:16
the season.
46:18
Here's the fun part.
46:19
He said defending Rich and saying, well,
46:23
they're just working within the structure
46:24
that they're given as if Dave isn't.
46:28
As if Dave is not in the same
46:29
boat at that point.
46:31
Dave is a soldier.
46:32
Yes, he is in charge of stuff.
46:34
He is a high ranking,
46:34
but Dave does what Dave is told to
46:36
do by his higher ups.
46:39
Period.
46:40
End of story.
46:41
Does he have some input?
46:42
I'm sure he does.
46:43
He just said earlier this week that
46:46
That if it was up to him,
46:49
we would still be doing regionals.
46:51
But it's not.
46:54
Dave has some Ikea furniture with half the
46:57
parts,
46:57
no drawings on how to assemble and a
47:00
Swedish name table.
47:05
Easy.
47:07
Easy.
47:09
Easy.
47:10
Fair,
47:10
but I think a couple of easy-ish fixes
47:13
are at least no camps should program
47:15
semifinals,
47:16
no invites qualifiers outside the
47:18
quarterfinals.
47:19
That's assuming you think he has the
47:21
ability to say that.
47:23
Right.
47:25
There's no way he has the ability.
47:27
They needed to get,
47:29
after the Lazar Jukic thing,
47:31
the board's intention was to remove as
47:35
much liability from CrossFit as possible.
47:40
And I know that has never come out
47:41
publicly,
47:42
but you'd have to go a long way
47:44
to convince me otherwise.
47:46
Yeah.
47:47
You know,
47:47
there were lawsuits over that death.
47:51
And after those lawsuits, that board said,
47:54
get our name out of their mouths and
47:57
let's give as much liability to everybody
48:00
else and not with us.
48:03
And because of that,
48:04
you lose all the control.
48:07
all the control after the open and before
48:11
the CrossFit Games?
48:17
The invite thing, I don't like it either.
48:20
As a matter of fact,
48:21
I would almost say vehemently against it
48:23
because I know several people that got
48:24
invites that if you got an invite to
48:27
a semifinal already,
48:28
what are you doing quarterfinals for?
48:32
What are you even bothering with it for?
48:33
You can just go do the workouts, log,
48:37
walk through them basically,
48:39
log some kind of time,
48:41
and then send it through because you
48:44
already got an invite to the semifinal.
48:47
So that's not a level playing field at
48:50
that point because you got an invite ahead
48:52
of time.
48:53
I think that the invite thing is probably
48:55
part of whatever deal that they made with
48:58
all the people who are hosting semifinals
49:00
now because they're like, okay, well,
49:01
if I'm going to run this,
49:02
I'm going to run it my way.
49:06
And that involves I'm going to invite
49:07
these people and I'm going to invite
49:09
whoever I want because it's my semifinal.
49:11
I'm having it at my place.
49:12
It's my dollars that are putting this up.
49:15
I think let me see the mayhem stamp
49:17
as a stamp of legitimacy,
49:21
otherwise no named events too.
49:24
I don't disagree with you at all.
49:25
And they're playing within the rules are
49:26
given,
49:27
but to put the blame of the rules
49:30
on just Dave Castro is so short-sighted.
49:34
The fact that you're boycotting everything
49:36
until Dave is removed from that position
49:41
tells me that you don't know much about
49:43
the structure of the way CrossFit works
49:44
today.
49:51
The semifinals operate like weird
49:53
conference tournaments.
49:54
Yeah, the Big Ten has their rules.
49:56
The SEC has their rules.
49:58
The Big Twelve have their rules.
49:59
And their tournaments are run in a
50:01
different cadence and format from each
50:03
other.
50:04
And that's how the semifinals go.
50:09
And that's Ortega's thing.
50:15
Quarters are needed.
50:16
What if they don't do good now?
50:19
And now their invite is not part of
50:21
semis just ran semis run just a
50:25
competition.
50:27
That's what I'm getting at.
50:28
Like people that I know that got invites
50:32
to semifinals.
50:34
Do they still need to
50:37
Do they even still need to do
50:38
quarterfinals?
50:38
I'm sure they need to do them, right?
50:40
You have to participate in the season.
50:42
That part I do know.
50:43
But do you still have to be in
50:44
a qualifying position at this point?
50:46
Because that's what my goal is next
50:49
weekend is to finish as high as I
50:51
can in the quarterfinals to hopefully get
50:53
an invitation to go compete in person for
50:57
an in-person semi.
51:01
You have to be in the top two
51:02
thousand at quarterfinals.
51:06
That's not hard to do.
51:08
It's just not.
51:13
A board certainly offloaded liability as
51:14
well as financial burdens.
51:17
Exactly.
51:25
And yeah,
51:25
Dave's leash has shortened and grown
51:27
multiple times throughout history.
51:29
Yes.
51:30
Depends on who's in charge.
51:34
Even when Greg was there,
51:35
even when Greg was there,
51:36
Dave was not the boss.
51:38
No.
51:45
Top four hundred for Masters.
51:46
Very doable.
51:47
And few of us already have already
51:49
qualified for semis,
51:51
which makes quarterfinals basically a
51:53
chore.
51:55
Speaking of, we need to point out.
51:59
Lito to finish top fifty in the world.
52:01
Yeah.
52:02
As a Masters athlete.
52:04
ridiculous not only that she finished
52:08
third in her age group and the only
52:12
people above her were the first and second
52:13
place finishers at the games last year
52:18
yeah caroline klutz and lito lito's fit
52:24
it's ridiculous so huge shout out to her
52:28
huge kudos for all that she's accomplished
52:30
in this open
52:32
And I'm sure all she wants to do
52:33
is get on to semifinals at this point.
52:36
Right.
52:36
Cause she had that kind of a performance
52:38
in the open where you want to get
52:39
to quarters to like show what you really
52:41
have.
52:43
Right.
52:48
When do quarterfinal invites go?
52:50
I think soon.
52:51
Cause.
52:51
Twenty-third.
52:52
Twenty-third.
52:53
Twenty-third.
52:54
Eighteenth now.
52:55
So five days from now.
52:56
Five days from now,
52:57
which I think is Monday,
52:57
if I'm not mistaken.
52:58
Okay.
53:01
No thanks needed.
53:03
You deserve every bit of the praise and
53:05
flowers.
53:07
Miss Lito.
53:08
Miss Lito.
53:12
But I'm pretty sure that's Monday.
53:14
They're also releasing the workouts on the
53:17
Games Channel Monday at noon,
53:20
which means that we're going to have...
53:24
Forty days to figure it out.
53:26
And they're probably going to give us
53:27
passwords that we have to say on camera
53:29
before we can actually start.
53:32
Um, yeah, I, I don't,
53:35
do you remember the real,
53:36
I made it from last year when Jamie
53:39
and Carolyn said the same phrase over and
53:40
over again,
53:41
and I clicked them all together.
53:45
I know how they feel.
53:45
Yeah.
53:46
I know how they feel.
53:47
It's, uh, it's awkward.
53:53
I'll say that it's awkward.
53:57
Uh, Greg,
53:57
at times we'll get a bug to control
53:58
the games than other,
54:00
but otherwise would care less.
54:02
Agreed.
54:03
But when the games were at their pinnacle,
54:07
at the height of their popularity,
54:09
selling out in a day,
54:13
that's when Greg decided to get in and
54:14
change everything.
54:18
Yeah.
54:26
Lito, your guess is as good as mine.
54:28
Whether there's going to be one submission
54:29
window or more,
54:31
I'm sure they'll let you all know that
54:32
on Monday.
54:33
I'm hoping because they start Thursday and
54:40
I have a job.
54:43
Most of us Masters athletes still,
54:46
you know,
54:46
have a nine to five to clock into
54:48
and out of.
54:49
So I'm hoping that it's just, you know,
54:52
get them done over the weekend whenever
54:53
you can,
54:53
get them turned in before Monday or
54:55
whatever the case is and just kind of
54:58
move on from there.
55:05
Yeah, I have something there,
55:06
but we don't have time today.
55:12
Yeah.
55:13
Anyway,
55:14
usually the first submission window is
55:15
Saturday at noon.
55:17
And then second one is Sunday at noon
55:20
Eastern.
55:21
Um, that's usually doable even if work.
55:28
It depends.
55:28
It's going to depend on how many,
55:29
on how many we get as well.
55:32
So anyway, all right.
55:36
Uh,
55:40
If my kid made quarterfinals,
55:42
I'm just letting you know,
55:43
they don't need to go to school on
55:44
Friday.
55:48
Let's get this done.
55:48
This is an opportunity.
55:53
That's my opinion.
55:56
Say what you will about my parenting.
55:58
I think you do it pretty good.
56:01
No employer has asked me what my high
56:03
school geometry grade was.
56:05
As it turns out.
56:07
As it turns out.
56:08
And nobody asked what I got is my
56:10
overall grade in high school.
56:13
Life is full of experiences.
56:15
Don't miss out on the good ones.
56:17
That's what I'm saying.
56:19
One percent.
56:23
You don't have you don't really have to
56:25
do the mile run one anyways.
56:29
Flashing back to last year's team.
56:31
Dude, I watched, well,
56:34
I saw the highlights of chasing the mom
56:37
company team around with the camera.
56:41
It was great.
56:42
It was fun to watch.
56:44
Yeah.
56:46
David Reed,
56:47
we plan on pulling our daughter out from
56:48
school one for quarters.
56:51
I would too, man.
56:53
Cheers.
56:55
Solid parenting.
56:55
I would do the same.
56:56
Thank you, Joseph.
57:00
I remember when Annie and Camille were
57:05
here at Rogue and they were doing a
57:08
workout.
57:09
And I pulled my daughter out of school
57:10
to go hang out with them because those
57:12
were her two heroes when she was doing
57:14
CrossFit.
57:15
And she wasn't even working out.
57:17
We just went down to watch them and
57:19
get a picture with them.
57:21
And she still has it hanging in her
57:23
apartment.
57:25
Yeah, I would too.
57:28
Life is full of cool things.
57:30
Don't miss them over high school when
57:34
nobody's going to care in twenty years.
57:37
Hold on, Vicky.
57:42
I agree with you, Vicky.
57:45
I want to know why she's not competing.
57:51
Because she damn sure made quarterfinals.
57:59
Oh,
57:59
I'm messaging her here in a little bit.
58:02
I want to know what that's about.
58:04
You made quarterfinals, Vicky.
58:05
You are fit.
58:06
You should be competing in quarterfinals.
58:10
iPhone really showed that you won't have a
58:11
calculator in your pocket someday, crowd.
58:15
I'll be talking to people about culture or
58:18
whatever, and I'm like, hold on,
58:19
let me do some math with this calculator.
58:21
Every teacher I ever had said I wasn't
58:22
going to have it every single moment of
58:24
my life.
58:33
One hundred percent agreed.
58:34
Parents here get fined for pulling kids
58:37
out of school without reason, though.
58:40
Damn.
58:40
Wow.
58:45
Like Nike told the Michael Jordan,
58:48
go ahead and wear them.
58:49
We'll pay the fine.
58:52
Absolutely.
58:54
Definitely DM me because maybe I'm not
58:56
understanding it all correctly.
59:07
All right, there we go.
59:09
All these people that are saying they have
59:11
business competing, that's not true.
59:13
Your fitness through the open showed that
59:16
you do have business competing and seeing
59:19
what you can do for quarterfinals so that
59:21
next year you can take all the things
59:22
that you learned, which are data points.
59:25
and apply them to your training to get
59:27
better at them for next year.
59:30
Yes, if you made quarterfinals,
59:32
you are worthy of competing.
59:35
Unless your movement is trash and you just
59:37
lied about your scores, yes,
59:40
you should be competing.
59:44
And with that, and with that.
59:49
It's my positive rant.
59:50
Like and subscribe, people.
59:51
We don't want any more freeloaders in
59:53
this.
59:53
We're not just kidding.
59:55
If you want to be a freeloader and
59:56
listen, you can.
59:58
But we would really appreciate it if you
59:59
just hit the subscribe button.
1:00:01
Yeah, I'm broken now too, CrossFat.
1:00:11
With that, we'll see everybody tomorrow.
1:00:15
I think I can get it in before
1:00:16
I have to leave.
1:00:18
We'll do tomorrow,
1:00:20
and we'll get back at this and fight,
1:00:22
fight,
1:00:23
fight over whatever we're going to fight
1:00:25
about tomorrow.
1:00:27
With that,
1:00:28
have a great rest of your day.
1:00:29
We will see everybody tomorrow.
1:00:32
Bye, guys.
