• 0:33
  Welcome to the Spin. I am a super secret mission out
• 0:37
  here. There you go in San Diego.
• 0:40
  After hearing that San Diego is so great, I decided I'm going to
• 0:44
  fly out here and just see if it's better than Cookeville.
• 0:47
  And hey, hey. I like, I mean, hey, I'm out
• 0:52
  here. I am in.
• 0:53
  I am in San Diego. San Diego, So yeah.
• 1:01
  It is what it is, Tyler John, you make it back to your
• 1:04
  respective hometown as well. I don't know if you guys are on,
• 1:09
  on the text messages around about 1:00 on the way back, but
• 1:12
  I was, I was fired up and but I was also like, what am I doing?
• 1:18
  Like 9 hours in the truck on the way back from South Carolina.
• 1:21
  That was that was a hard mission.
• 1:25
  I'm glad you were fired up at 1:00.
• 1:26
  I read I When I woke up to reading those, I was like, at
• 1:29
  least he's, you know, entertaining.
• 1:31
  Himself he's. Alive.
• 1:34
  We we got it back back in the Nashville about 10:00.
• 1:39
  So it wasn't too bad. It wasn't too bad at all.
• 1:42
  But yeah, in the last hour or so, it was like, man, yeah, it's
• 1:46
  still it's still a decent drive. So yeah, I got some stuff going
• 1:53
  on. So we are going to make this a
• 1:55
  rapid fire show today. Thank.
• 2:00
  God, she's she made it. There we go.
• 2:04
  Yeah, we'll get, we'll get into some crescendo talk.
• 2:07
  Go ahead. Sorry.
• 2:09
  Yeah, we'll do some, we'll do some crescendo recaps.
• 2:11
  I do do want to hear about your guys's experience at the Airbnb.
• 2:17
  So I heard that was interesting for both of you and separate
• 2:21
  reasons. But First off, we will get.
• 2:25
  Same reasons, different times, just just throwing it out there.
• 2:32
  Clarify that for sure. First off though, we will go
• 2:35
  into some viewer comments. Last week I wasn't here, so I
• 2:39
  don't think you guys did the viewer comments, did you?
• 2:42
  Oh yeah, I. Just read.
• 2:45
  I just read them. Yeah, yeah, we, well, you know,
• 2:48
  we're bringing back the technology.
• 2:49
  All right, first one again, if you guys, you know, are watching
• 2:54
  this afterwards, throw a comment down there.
• 2:56
  Or if you're watching live, come back and then throw a comment in
• 2:59
  there. We'll read it next week.
• 3:01
  First up, Amy is watching. Shout out to Corinne.
• 3:06
  Yes, we love you over here, girl.
• 3:08
  Yeah. Big fan of Corinne and Allen.
• 3:11
  Next up at friend of Bill WI. Need to know if JY has seen the
• 3:19
  mockumentary Tour the Pharmacy. If so, I need to know how he
• 3:24
  liked it. If not, he's got to watch it and
• 3:27
  give us a review the following week.
• 3:29
  The movie is absolutely hilarious about the Tour de
• 3:32
  France. I I have seen the Tour de
• 3:34
  Pharmacy. I've seen every single cycling
• 3:37
  movie there is to see. I actually watch the cycling
• 3:40
  movies that are about cycling and not just Lance Armstrong and
• 3:44
  drugs, which, you know, yeah, it's not everybody's cup of tea.
• 3:49
  I would say if you watched the program, the program, and I know
• 3:54
  you're specifically talking about like the 1997 one or five
• 3:59
  one where it all kind of came out where all the Italians were
• 4:03
  using the drugs and they were the first ones to use them.
• 4:05
  And that's why Lance wasn't winning.
• 4:06
  Then he got cancer and came back, started winning randomly.
• 4:09
  But if you go look at the program, the movie is called The
• 4:12
  Program. It's probably the best done
• 4:16
  movie that has Lance Armstrong's exploits and the all the drugs
• 4:22
  and how we got into it with Ferrari and and all that stuff.
• 4:26
  So go check that out if you liked the Tour de Pharmacy.
• 4:30
  How? How was the tour?
• 4:31
  Did you like it? I, I would say it's a 5 out of
• 4:34
  10. There's there's, there's just
• 4:36
  like there's 5 movies about the same thing, right?
• 4:40
  So it's kind of all the same once you've seen one.
• 4:44
  And I get like people would really like it for the first
• 4:46
  time, but it the it's overdone. Like Lance Armstrong is overdone
• 4:51
  in popular media because that's all America knows.
• 4:56
  It just, it's just the truth. Would somebody like it that
• 4:58
  doesn't like cycling or doesn't know about?
• 5:01
  Cycling I yeah, yeah, I yes, yes.
• 5:04
  I mean, any anything, any movie, like I said, I think the program
• 5:07
  is the best one, but any movie that has to do with Lance
• 5:11
  Armstrong and you don't know anything, they're all pretty.
• 5:15
  They're all pretty good. Like as far like U Spanner
• 5:18
  Tyler, like you would be interested for a little bit.
• 5:19
  Icarus is probably the most good one for someone who's not into
• 5:24
  cycling because that like exposes the entire Russian, the
• 5:32
  Soviet Union and like because they were using it for
• 5:35
  everything. And this guy like just stumbles
• 5:37
  into their all the drugs that they're taking and he's not like
• 5:43
  for them. He's not in the Soviet Union.
• 5:45
  He's just American dude who's like, I want to get better at
• 5:48
  cycling. I'm good enough to be at these
• 5:49
  big competitions, but get killed there and like what's happening?
• 5:54
  And they're like, oh, if you're not on this, you can't be top 30
• 5:59
  possible. So, yeah, Icarus, again, the
• 6:03
  program, I think they're both better than Tour de farmers.
• 6:05
  Whoops. Sorry.
• 6:07
  Frank in the comments. Crossfit's no longer for sale.
• 6:11
  Frank, I'm sorry. Yeah, not talking about the
• 6:13
  football winner. I want to pull this up.
• 6:16
  This is about a monument where they, it's called Perry Rube.
• 6:24
  There's only 5 monuments. I won't go into detail about
• 6:26
  that, but it's like a one day race, a one day race.
• 6:30
  And it's like these jagged rocks that they are riding over for
• 6:33
  like, 260 kilometers. It's a 1970s movie.
• 6:37
  But it's wild what they make them do.
• 6:39
  Like, people break their bones all the time during this race.
• 6:42
  It's only once a year. But it's, it's a it's a, it's a
• 6:45
  ride. I'm done with cycling.
• 6:48
  Sorry. Sorry.
• 6:48
  Yeah. That was, that was.
• 6:52
  That's my Ted talk. For today, well, that's a lot of
• 6:53
  time. Thanks.
• 6:54
  Thanks W. Next bitch.
• 6:56
  Oh go ahead 1999. Thanks.

  Looking forward to see what you guys do at Syndicate.
• 7:09
  So is he telling us he's done with the coverage at syndicate
• 7:13
  or crash and now move on to syndicate?
• 7:15
  Is that what 1999 means in this context?
• 7:18
  I think he's just looking. Forward to.
• 7:20
  A very generous donation. I thought that that was a fake
• 7:23
  donation. That's a real donation.
• 7:25
  OK, If you go on to the YouTube comments, you can see it's a
• 7:28
  little orange donation. So I just decided to I want to
• 7:31
  make sure I was recognized. Thank you for the dog.
• 7:34
  Thank you for that. By the way, I wanted to say
• 7:39
  Vindicate has these new CrossFit medical society shirts that are

• 8:19
  or more so or you don't want to use code spin.
• 8:22

  I can't glance. Emily Rolf.
• 10:11
  Thanks. Thanks Ed, means a lot you.
• 10:13
  Have to wait till next. He was in discussion, but they
• 10:16
  ultimately decided to go a different way.
• 10:19
  It's a self discussion but. He made it to the final round.
• 10:22
  And he decided to go a different way.
• 10:26
  Exactly. I mean, lastly, he actually DM
• 10:29
  CrossFit. He was like, guys, I just want
• 10:30
  to let you know I'm taking myself out of the running before
• 10:33
  you even approach me. He, he emailed Marty and I was
• 10:36
  like, sorry, sorry, Marty, I'm out.
• 10:40
  I know. Amazing.
• 10:43
  Just letting you know. Yeah, just to let you know, I
• 10:45
  don't. I'm just reading your e-mail
• 10:48
  like who the hell is this? I don't want to.
• 10:50
  Withdrawing my withdrawing my name from consideration.
• 10:53
  Thank you. Please don't waste your time on
• 10:58
  me. Last one at jar Jar loves
• 11:00
  CrossFit. Question for you guys on today's
• 11:04
  show. For some time now we've used the
• 11:06
  same method for tie breaks, highest place finish.
• 11:10
  We've seen 2 events now that have needed to use tie breaks to
• 11:13
  decide placement. Is this the best method or
• 11:17
  should it be done differently? Yeah, lot lot of times the the
• 11:24
  well right now the tie break has always been best finish in an
• 11:28
  event and then the next best finish and the next best finish
• 11:32
  of each event until you get to 1 where somebody is there, you
• 11:36
  know, has an advantage. We talked about going into
• 11:39
  Legends into the final event on Sunday on our pre show of that,
• 11:44
  if Dylan Hammond had taken 1st and James Sprague had taken
• 11:50
  third, they would have had the exact same placements in five
• 11:54
  events. And did you guys hear how they
• 11:56
  were going to tie break it without if that if that were to
• 12:00
  happen, they told them whoever the with first one was off the
• 12:03
  wall balls in the last event. That's who won.
• 12:06
  That's the tie breaker. That's not fair dude.
• 12:10
  Like that's. That is the worst thing ever, I
• 12:12
  really. Wish it happened too so like
• 12:14
  because. Dylan was the ball for it then.
• 12:18
  Well, you force people into doing things that aren't like
• 12:21
  whatever, but like, yeah, the first guy off of the wall ball
• 12:24
  was how they were going to decide Ty if if James was third
• 12:27
  and Dylan was first and James was like, that's why I like I
• 12:30
  went out really, really hot. Thankfully, I could hold on.
• 12:34
  That's crazy. Yeah, but you know, to some
• 12:38
  people it's very logical and like, you know, the best
• 12:41
  decision ever. So it's it's, but no, it's it's.
• 12:44
  Regardless. It's wild.
• 12:45
  It's wild. Intra workout tie breaks are so
• 12:49
  stupid. It does not matter how you get
• 12:52
  to the end if you if you tie with someone else, but they, you
• 12:56
  know, say there's three pieces in the workout and they got the
• 12:59
  first piece done 1st and that's the tie break.
• 13:02
  That means they were the worst of the worst in another area.
• 13:05
  Right. You're the same fitness as them.
• 13:07
  It does not matter how you get to the end or all that matters
• 13:11
  is how you get to the end. It does not matter how you got
• 13:13
  there. Well, I mean, I think it makes
• 13:15
  sense from the when, when there are log jams like in the open,
• 13:20
  right, like and you're going to have.
• 13:22
  Like I, I. You have 20,000 people tie like,
• 13:24
  I think there's a that makes sense.
• 13:27
  I think there's. Makes sense because you don't
• 13:29
  know any better. How else would you do it if
• 13:31
  there was a log? Just let them freaking tie.
• 13:34
  No, no, no, no, no, no Tyler and I and spin.
• 13:37
  I promise Tyler didn't pay me for this answer.
• 13:39
  I think this is where Peace Corps should come into play.
• 13:41
  No, he's talking about just a single event.
• 13:44
  Yeah, I'm just talking one of one.
• 13:46
  Yeah, no, no one event let them tie.
• 13:48
  I agree. So it's like in Fran 21159 and
• 13:52
  you said the round of 21 is your tie break.
• 13:55
  That's so stupid because if you blow up in the ninth round, it
• 13:58
  means you're not as like as fit in the ninth round as somebody
• 14:01
  else. If you would have gone on to
• 14:02
  seven or six or something, they would have probably beaten you.
• 14:06
  It's the dumbest thing. Real solutions.
• 14:09
  I don't want to pitch P score. That's the whole.
• 14:12
  Everybody knows that is where I think it should come into play
• 14:15
  because that and listen, they're not operating on P score in the
• 14:18
  competition at all. They don't know who's they have
• 14:22
  no idea they're not playing that game right because they're two
• 14:24
  different games. They're playing the game that
• 14:26
  they are given and they ended up tied.
• 14:29
  And I think P score, which is real score, like how much did
• 14:34
  you beat this person by? And it is scored that way like
• 14:37
  it is. How could you argue that if that
• 14:40
  was your tie break? And they don't know it ahead of
• 14:43
  time. Nobody knows it ahead of time.
• 14:45
  The only person who knows it is the person who's keeping track
• 14:47
  of it. And like, I just think I always
• 14:51
  use, I like to use P score as like a confirmation if I feel
• 14:55
  like somebody was shafted or like the scoring was skewed in
• 14:59
  some kind of way. I remember that almost one of
• 15:02
  the very first times we used P score was with Austin and Colton
• 15:06
  at Crash and Colton won four first place.
• 15:09
  The last four events, Colton won and Austin was second in every
• 15:13
  single one of those events. But since there was a run and
• 15:17
  then I want to say it was the a run and flip sled workout and
• 15:23
  Austin was like 4th and Colton was like 9th and that was the
• 15:27
  difference. And that's why Austin ended up
• 15:29
  winning. But I used regular scoring in
• 15:31
  that scenario to see if like, is this is this fair?
• 15:35
  Right, yes, correct. And Austin won in both ways.
• 15:39
  And I'm like, OK, Austin won, right?
• 15:41
  And that's and that I I always like to use it as confirmation.
• 15:47
  If I don't feel that way and P Score says somebody, it's
• 15:50
  something else like Jay Crouch would in the CrossFit Games,
• 15:52
  then I'm like, This is why this is This is why we.
• 15:54
  Don't. So you use it when you're.
• 15:55
  It's convenient. No no, no, no no no.
• 15:58
  I like regular scoring. I use it for confirmation.
• 16:01
  Does that make sense? I don't use it as the end all be
• 16:03
  all so in this high right situation I think it's the best
• 16:08
  way. Dude.
• 16:09
  Like how would it not be? Tell me how it would not be?
• 16:12
  I I think of there's, there's so many sports where the best team
• 16:16
  doesn't always win, right? Like you can play basketball and
• 16:19
  like you end up losing even like look at you watch it and you're
• 16:22
  like, Oh, you know, the Bulls played better than the Knicks,
• 16:25
  but the Knicks ended up winning. And that's what can happen with
• 16:30
  the regular scoring because people middle you and then.
• 16:34
  But like the P score side of things tells you that in the
• 16:39
  same basketball example, the Bulls played better.
• 16:42
  They just didn't execute based on the scoring system.
• 16:45
  And so if they were tied, if they're tied, it goes.
• 16:48
  I think. They're played better like.
• 16:51
  I I agree, like I think that's a, if I was going to say it, I
• 16:54
  would agree with it too. Like it's, it's a performance
• 16:58
  based scoring system as a tiebreaker to say, hey, look, we
• 17:01
  have no other way to to, you know, they stay tied.
• 17:05
  This gives us an ability to see who had the best performance
• 17:11
  when it mattered. And and you don't pull it out,
• 17:13
  you don't even talk about it until a tie occurs.
• 17:17
  And then it's like this is the way.
• 17:20
  If they wanted like a real like a because they'll never take the
• 17:23
  Peace Corps solution. If they were going for the real
• 17:25
  solution, that would be like use quarterfinals.
• 17:29
  Even then it's a different test like that's that's I think
• 17:32
  that's. It's a different test, but it's
• 17:34
  it's a set, but they can't. Even fix that they can't even
• 17:36
  like do better in that. I think that's worse than the
• 17:38
  wall ball thing. Quite you imagine if Jay no go
• 17:41
  to thorium pro. Imagine Jay Crouch ties for 3rd
• 17:45
  and he goes, he gets out because he got a penalty and nobody else
• 17:49
  had their video review. Yeah.
• 17:51
  We're looking. Like a Tai Jenkins, he's like,
• 17:54
  I'm not cheating the standards so I can have a faster time.
• 17:57
  I'm gonna make it no matter what.
• 17:59
  I was 15th in the Games last year, so I'm gonna have an
• 18:02
  invite to where I want to go. I'm not cheating the standards
• 18:05
  like everybody else's because the workouts were very easy for
• 18:09
  them. And then he ended up like 100
• 18:11
  and 77th or whatever he was in quarterfinals and that's the tie
• 18:14
  break. Does that make sense?
• 18:16
  You can't do something in the past to be the tie break.
• 18:19
  Then fine, this is where we need to start having mandatory tie
• 18:22
  break workouts. Where?
• 18:24
  I'm arguing for your thing, Tyler.
• 18:27
  Like, I don't know why you're pushing.
• 18:28
  Back on, I think because they they won't go for it, right.
• 18:31
  I know it's right, dude, but I've been, I've been me for five
• 18:35
  years. Yeah, but you want it for the
• 18:36
  competition. I'm not saying to do that.
• 18:39
  They won't do that either either.
• 18:41
  Right, but that's a big black. Ball dude.
• 18:42
  That's a bigger ask. Like I think the tie break it
• 18:46
  is. I think if you you cannot
• 18:49
  rationalize a better way to do a tie break because it's based on
• 18:52
  what you did. I know it'll still get paid and.
• 18:55
  It doesn't come out until you tie.
• 18:57
  There should be mandatory tie break workouts where we go to
• 19:01
  sudden death style and it's like, all right, nobody leave
• 19:04
  the floor. James Dylan, come on out here,
• 19:07
  buddy. Whatever.
• 19:09
  What would be? Lydia and.
• 19:10
  Abby or Lydia and Abby, whoever ties.
• 19:13
  Wait, what? It could have been Dylan and
• 19:14
  James. Yeah, it could have been Dylan
• 19:15
  and James. Yeah, Floater wad.
• 19:17
  It's a It's a mandatory. Floater wad bucket hold.
• 19:23
  I mean I like AI like a a boxing match or like just a fight.
• 19:29
  No. No, if it's a part of the tie
• 19:32
  break or like like just just. They know what they're getting
• 19:35
  into. That's part of.
• 19:36
  Your training, you sign up for it.
• 19:37
  So like it's just a fight, like a UFC type fight and then you
• 19:40
  could tap somebody out or knock somebody out and and how's the
• 19:44
  winner, Abby? Listen, Abby Dolman has to go
• 19:47
  knock the brakes off of Lydia Fish if she wants to get to the
• 19:51
  game. Can you?
• 19:52
  Can you imagine? I feel.
• 19:54
  Like, I feel like, I feel like Abby would win in that one.
• 19:57
  I don't know. Just imagine Lydia's face like
• 20:00
  walking into an Octagon and then.
• 20:02
  Abby. Oh, she's got the reach on her.
• 20:05
  Just like hyping herself up and then they just like, let's get
• 20:08
  it on and then just just the. You got to do the rope a dope,
• 20:13
  Lydia. I know.
• 20:14
  The game that Abby's about to put down.
• 20:19
  No, like could you imagine how awesome it would be going to a
• 20:22
  sudden death tie break and just like everybody would be like, oh
• 20:27
  shit, what's about to I? I think it'd be incredible.
• 20:30
  It would be so cool. I mean, Dylan pulls it out last
• 20:34
  second. That would be amazing.
• 20:36
  You you'd have to have something that was fast, that also was
• 20:40
  probably fairly balanced. That would be the toughest
• 20:42
  piece. But if if we're not going to use
• 20:45
  Peace Corps, I would go with that method.
• 20:47
  Find something that has everything.
• 20:49
  Larry, I'm going to put you in the same box as as Frank here in
• 20:53
  a minute. You keep on with this.
• 20:58
  Yeah, Larry's like, I just want to Max out.
• 21:00
  You just got to Max out some lift.
• 21:01
  That's all that matters. That's what it's going to be.
• 21:04
  Strongest person wins. That's all I care about, all
• 21:08
  right, Viewer comments. The tie break is is Max socks
• 21:11
  press that's that's that's the. Tie I just, I just walk off the
• 21:16
  court. I'd be like, yeah, it's that's
• 21:17
  over. I, I go to listen, listen,
• 21:20
  Jason, you might be the fittest man in the world, but if we if
• 21:25
  we were tied, I would beat you just so you know, just.
• 21:30
  For all those we got, first of all, we are over 11,000
• 21:33
  subscribers now, yeah. Let's go.
• 21:36
  We couldn't. We couldn't.
• 21:37
  Even like build it up because we guys got some, we got so many
• 21:40
  new followers, the subscribers over the weekend.
• 21:43
  So if anybody new that's watching go drop a comment down
• 21:46
  there and if you haven't subscribed, go do that now.
• 21:50
  We're very close to 12,000, just like 940 more and we'll get.
• 21:54
  There just a couple. Yeah, the countdown is on.
• 21:58
  Next up. That's not it.
• 22:01
  We're going to go that way. Bruce Edwards, former COO of
• 22:06
  CrossFit from 2013 to 2019, is going to be the new CEO.
• 22:11
  He starts on Monday. Tyler, initial reactions of
• 22:17
  hearing that we're bringing back Mr. Edwards, Mr. Bruce.
• 22:23
  I'm holding my I'm, I'm playing John a little bit when I will
• 22:27
  know when I need to see it. I've like he's done a lot of
• 22:32
  good things in the past. I read some of his old papers
• 22:35
  that he's purported to have written about CrossFit.
• 22:40
  The stories actually shout out Tommy and Sean.
• 22:43
  They actually had a good show talking about Bruce back in the
• 22:47
  day. Like a lot of good stuff.
• 22:50
  I've talked with Jim owners about him, reached out to a
• 22:53
  bunch of people. It's it, it all sounds good.
• 22:58
  That's that's my initial reactions, but I need to see
• 23:02
  something. How much are you being
• 23:04
  controlled by Berkshire is what I want to know.
• 23:07
  John, you you have any thoughts on the CEO of?
• 23:11
  Cross yeah, I agree. I feel like we don't know
• 23:13
  anything until stuff starts happening.
• 23:17
  You know, I'm, I'm, I'll give anybody a chance.
• 23:20
  And then, like, if it's like, I don't agree with what you're
• 23:23
  doing, then I'll say I don't agree with what you're doing.
• 23:25
  And if I think it's cool, then I'll say I think it's cool.
• 23:27
  But I, I don't like, yeah, the only thing I know about him is
• 23:30
  what you've said. So, you know, everybody seems to
• 23:34
  think he's a good guy, but literally, you know, everybody
• 23:37
  thought Rosa was a good guy. I'm not saying Rosa's not a good
• 23:39
  guy, but he wasn't a great CEO for the company.
• 23:42
  I don't think so. Like just being a good guy
• 23:44
  doesn't necessarily mean you're a good CEO.
• 23:48
  This is what I'm afraid of it. It's not that it's I, I agree it
• 23:52
  does sound too good. But I fear that we're in a
• 23:54
  position where we're just like, sure, whatever, you know what I
• 23:57
  mean? Like we've been conditioned to
• 23:59
  this point. We're just like, we don't really
• 24:01
  believe it until, until you do something.
• 24:03
  Yeah. Which I don't think.
• 24:04
  That's their position. What I was surprised about is
• 24:07
  that there were, I don't think I saw him too much negative.
• 24:11
  No. Well.
• 24:12
  Yeah. And that's the point.
• 24:13
  I would, I want somebody to legitimately ask him that
• 24:16
  question. How much control does Berkshire
• 24:20
  have over you? It's just a John Young question.
• 24:25
  I want somebody to ask him this question.
• 24:28
  How much you saw it spreads? No, no, no, no, I, I how much,
• 24:33
  how much control does Berkshire have over you?
• 24:35
  And just see what he says. Do you think that's too like?
• 24:39
  He he like they have, I mean, Frank's right and that they have
• 24:43
  100% control and they own the company.
• 24:46
  But you know, he could. He could get decorative with the
• 24:49
  way he answers it. But just.
• 24:51
  By how he answers it, I think we would know a lot.
• 24:54
  Well, I mean, I think there's Pete always he's trying to find
• 25:01
  off of. It you got to get off of it,
• 25:02
  Grant, you got to get off of it. You got to stop.
• 25:09
  We're not going to pull it up, but you got you got you got, you
• 25:11
  got to stop. He he wants to make.
• 25:16
  Goodness, grand. Standy Standy's comeback is just
• 25:21
  amazing, jeez. Don't make me laugh too hard.
• 25:33
  My my my hernia. Is hard.
• 25:34
  Go ahead, spin. Let's just lock in here.
• 25:37
  Come on boys. Focus PE obviously wants to make
• 25:41
  money, right? Like their, their whole goal is
• 25:43
  to make money. I think the question is, yes,
• 25:46
  they control them, but do they give, have they started to
• 25:48
  realize they have to like loosen the leash a little bit to get
• 25:52
  that growth? Like it's not going to be
• 25:54
  linear? I don't think the question is,
• 25:57
  is PE willing to invest and maybe not take those increased
• 26:04
  revenues and profit day one and say, yeah, let's reinvest in the
• 26:09
  business to get that growth right.
• 26:13
  But all we've seen is cut cost, cut cost, cut cost because we
• 26:17
  got to grow the bottom line year over year after year so we can
• 26:20
  sell the damn. Thing I got I got two issues on
• 26:23
  this one. I like that Bruce has a
• 26:27
  financial mindset. The the stuff that I've seen him
• 26:29
  written like he definitely looks great.
• 26:32
  He is kind of responsible or he was behind some of the stuff
• 26:35
  with like, you know, the games were too much and it was like
• 26:38
  the the games were a lot. It was killing like the entire
• 26:41
  business. It was like over.
• 26:43
  It was taking up all the profit over half the profit generated
• 26:46
  from the company just wiping out to the games, right.
• 26:48
  And he was responsible for writing that.
• 26:50
  The problem is they sort of swept their feet out from under
• 26:53
  them inadvertently, right? The the way they doled that out
• 26:57
  was bad. And so I hope like he learned a
• 27:00
  lesson from that and realizes like the reason people aren't
• 27:04
  going to these events and the reason there's not enough buzz
• 27:07
  is because the bar has gotten too high to see yourself as an
• 27:10
  athlete, you have to have that illusion of eliteness, so to
• 27:14
  speak, in CrossFit, because Crossfitters, people who do
• 27:17
  CrossFit go to events and they have to have a reason to go.
• 27:20
  And it's that they know somebody's who's competing.
• 27:22
  So I hope Bruce has learned that lesson.
• 27:24
  So I, but I like his financial mindset and I think he's smart
• 27:29
  enough to see we need to see where the money comes from as
• 27:33
  opposed to just chasing the bottom line, which I think has
• 27:35
  been their biggest sin for the past four years.
• 27:38
  So just bottom line, bottom line, bottom line, cut expenses,
• 27:42
  boost revenue in all the wrong ways #2 go ahead.
• 27:47
  I'll come back to that. No, you keep going.
• 27:49
  You keep going. Number two, I've heard that they
• 27:52
  are reaching out to an interesting cast of members to
• 27:59
  man the ship. These are rumors, but I've heard
• 28:02
  that they're reaching out to people who everybody would be
• 28:05
  like what? Dana White.
• 28:08
  If yeah, Dana White, if that's true, Berkshire is scrambling to
• 28:12
  be like, OK, we've been doing this wrong.
• 28:15
  We need to, we need to bring in some people who who can, who
• 28:19
  can, who we think can fix the situation and think outside the
• 28:23
  box, contrary to what we've been doing for the past.
• 28:26
  Four, I don't know. I don't know who those people
• 28:28
  are that you've heard, but I've heard somebody sent me a a
• 28:31
  message saying they heard a rumor that Greg was can being.
• 28:33
  Considered for the board. I've also heard that rumor.
• 28:38
  He also left. He also left Met Fix in Broken
• 28:40
  Science. It is rather odd, isn't it?
• 28:43
  Yeah, but I mean, we knew Bruce was going to be this before
• 28:45
  Grant or Greg left. Yeah, we kind of didn't know.
• 28:51
  I mean. We weren't confirmed but we we
• 28:54
  had heard rumblings. I was told.
• 28:57
  Not to say anything so. We know it's good enough for me
• 28:59
  not being told. Not to say anything but.
• 29:02
  It really must have. Been how about that?
• 29:04
  How about that? That's that's that's that's
• 29:06
  sure. But they don't.
• 29:07
  They didn't like tell Bruce on Thursday.
• 29:11
  Your CEO. Your CEO and then you know, and
• 29:15
  then Greg resigns because like stuff has been happening over
• 29:17
  time. So like, I don't who knows if
• 29:19
  that's even legit or not, but like the the fact is like if
• 29:26
  this has been brewing for the last month, Bruce is talking to
• 29:32
  people before that's announced. Like this has been decided.
• 29:35
  They just haven't announced it yet, right?
• 29:37
  And things are already in motion before it happens.
• 29:39
  And what's going to happen next has already been decided on
• 29:43
  before it happens. Yeah, that's Bruce's call
• 29:47
  though, and I'm not. I mean, like I'm sure he has a
• 29:49
  bunch of ideas. He is an affiliate owner,
• 29:52
  CrossFit Aptos. He he seems dyed in the wool
• 29:56
  Crossfitter. And so I think he knows what's
• 30:00
  going on very intimately. And.
• 30:03
  Bruce, he has the benefit of knowing what it looks like on
• 30:05
  the inside 'cause he was there. Sorry, John, go ahead.
• 30:09
  No, you're good. I just want to, I want to like,
• 30:11
  talk directly to Bruce. I know he's a fan of the show.
• 30:13
  Bruce, that if, you know, if you want to get stronger, it just
• 30:18
  just hit me up, man. I, I will.
• 30:21
  You don't even have to pay me. I would be happy to make you
• 30:23
  stronger in your life of fitness.
• 30:27
  Yeah. Use Code Bruce and get a free
• 30:29
  lifetime membership. Use code 0 dude.
• 30:31
  I actually am going to make a code that's called Bruce next
• 30:33
  week. Stay tuned.
• 30:34
  Only he can use it. John, you're not a very good
• 30:37
  business person. This dude's loaded.
• 30:39
  And and what I would have said is you don't have to pay the
• 30:42
  normal price of $500 a month just. $100 a month.
• 30:47
  For 100 I know, but you got to boost that up.
• 30:49
  He don't know. That no, dude, that's not how
• 30:51
  things work. Like if Bruce, if I, if Bruce
• 30:53
  said, dude, I'm doing JY Barbell and he's the CEO, that's that.
• 30:58
  He's like a rocket ship. He's making my money for like
• 31:01
  enough money for me. He doesn't have to pay.
• 31:03
  Yeah, at Mrs. Movement, the people he personally fired are
• 31:08
  happy he's back. That speaks volumes.
• 31:10
  That's a. Really good comment.
• 31:12
  Yeah, yeah. Number one thing they should be
• 31:15
  doing right now they need to have Brett like some sort of
• 31:18
  press conference or some sort of video something where he's out.
• 31:21
  Bruce, do you want to do that here or if you just.
• 31:24
  Wednesdays are a great yeah, Wednesdays are a great time for
• 31:27
  that. Yeah, come on the show, Bruce.
• 31:29
  Also a little upset they didn't break the news today.
• 31:32
  You guys broke the rule so. Yeah, I they just got a little
• 31:37
  antsy. But let's move.
• 31:40
  On they knew I was going to be traveling so they wanted to get
• 31:42
  it out a day early. I think is probably what
• 31:45
  happened. I mean it's just unfortunate
• 31:46
  timing. So yeah, we'll find out you know
• 31:49
  he starts on Monday. We'll see if he how that how
• 31:53
  that goes. But moving on to some recaps.
• 31:59
  We were down there in Spartanburg, SC for Crash
• 32:03
  Crescendo live streaming that we all stayed at an Airbnb and
• 32:08
  before we actually talk about the competition, John saw
• 32:12
  colors, felt things he hadn't felt before.
• 32:15
  Apparently Tyler had two. I had no idea did.
• 32:19
  You only on our side. Did you not have your?
• 32:21
  Side A day in your side. We did not have a bidet that was
• 32:24
  only that was a perk for you guys.
• 32:26
  You should try it out man. Spared no expense, thanks.
• 32:29
  Man, Yeah, you're welcome. You.
• 32:31
  Know I. Take care.
• 32:32
  I take care of you guys more than you can.
• 32:35
  Imagine Yeah, we got, we got locked.
• 32:38
  We both, John both and I got locked on the toilet because we
• 32:42
  couldn't figure out how to turn the bidet off.
• 32:45
  That was the most complicated toilet I've ever sat on.
• 32:47
  My it was dude, it was so hard to figure out.
• 32:50
  I I. Was like, wait, why can't I
• 32:54
  figure this out? We we got there, we looked
• 32:57
  around my one of my sons was like, oh, check this out and
• 32:59
  have a remote right? And he hit the button.
• 33:00
  Luckily, it didn't start shooting water out at.
• 33:03
  Since I didn't use the remote, that would have helped.
• 33:05
  But yeah, we were like, oh, that's interesting.
• 33:07
  And then went back to our side where we just had a regular
• 33:10
  toilet. And then apparently when you
• 33:12
  were on Monday night show on WAD Prep, John, that was hilarious.
• 33:18
  And yeah, I can't believe, I cannot believe you both got
• 33:22
  stuck on this thing, shooting water at you and didn't know
• 33:25
  what to do. Then it was I was.
• 33:29
  What were you Yeah, yeah. What were your immediate.
• 33:32
  I'm going to tell you right now like I was like, where's the how
• 33:35
  do I? So you could you could
• 33:37
  manipulate. The button and it did nothing
• 33:40
  happened. I was like, I can't get up like
• 33:44
  it's kind of just keeps like, you know what I mean?
• 33:46
  Like and then I twisted it a couple ways.
• 33:49
  No, nothing happened. I was like, all right, well, I'm
• 33:51
  just going to sit here for a minute until I really want to
• 33:54
  get up and then and then I started getting numb and then I
• 33:57
  was like, all right, we need to turn it off.
• 34:00
  And then I and then I turned it enough and then it went off.
• 34:02
  You can, you could manipulate, you know, the stream, you know,
• 34:06
  whichever way you need. You felt like you need to get
• 34:08
  clean, right? So I was, I was messing with
• 34:10
  that because I've never had a bidet that that has the stream.
• 34:13
  Manipulation I was doing. Something else if I did
• 34:15
  something like that? You're not.
• 34:18
  Yeah, you can. No, I felt what it feels like
• 34:21
  you were doing something else if that's what you were doing.
• 34:23
  And like, dude, if there's a toilet, I'm playing, I'm playing
• 34:27
  with, you know, if there's, but I'm figuring it up anyway.
• 34:30
  So I was doing that and I was like, all right, time to get
• 34:33
  off. And then I was like, oh God, I
• 34:37
  there, there was this circle button on the side and I, I was
• 34:41
  pushing it and twisting it and figured I was doing everything I
• 34:44
  could. That is the button you have to
• 34:45
  use. There's something else.
• 34:47
  It's the only one button. There's a remote on the wall,
• 34:50
  but that's fine. Yeah, the remote.
• 34:52
  The remote would have been the move.
• 34:53
  I couldn't have found. I didn't find the remote.
• 34:55
  I was just twisting that button for all it's.
• 34:56
  Worth that button had way too many functions for what it what
• 35:00
  it like what a button can do. You could swivel and.
• 35:03
  Just press like no, no dude. And then the toilet seat was
• 35:08
  heated, which you got used to. That's.
• 35:12
  What I'm saying when you get numb.
• 35:14
  Every time you sat on the toilet it felt like somebody else had
• 35:17
  been sitting on it. I didn't enjoy it.
• 35:20
  I hear you, I hear you. Anyway, that was the bidet
• 35:24
  story. There you go.
• 35:26
  But John and I never told each other.
• 35:28
  Yeah, and we and we, the best part is neither one of us broach
• 35:34
  that subject at all with each other.
• 35:41
  I missed this one, keeping it real.
• 35:42
  Legends at Del Mar are 1.3 out of 10.
• 35:50
  I think it's a fool. I think it's higher than a 1.3
• 35:57
  but not much a 4.4. 4 Just 4. 1.4.
• 36:06
  Pick it up 4. Yeah, I'm, I think I'm where
• 36:08
  Tyler is. It was actually like.
• 36:12
  But why? So the.
• 36:14
  Competition itself. We're talking about literally
• 36:16
  the. Just the competition.
• 36:17
  I think the programming was really bad.
• 36:19
  I think if you have 5 events, it's important that the five,
• 36:23
  like the five events make a balance test and then the one
• 36:27
  aerobic test you have, you make it an all power test which just
• 36:30
  skews the competition even more. So if you have 7 events, you
• 36:35
  might can afford to have that happen and have another aerobic
• 36:38
  event. Like it's not to the end of the
• 36:39
  world, but like they didn't use 80 LB dumbbells on Devil's
• 36:43
  Press, which would have been so dumb because they didn't have
• 36:46
  enough 80s. If they had enough 80s, they
• 36:49
  would have, but they didn't. So like there was just a lot of
• 36:53
  stuff like that. I mean, the girls and the guys
• 36:55
  going in the same time. I understand why they had to do
• 36:57
  it. I think if you're more prepared,
• 36:59
  you wouldn't have to. Why were you not prepared?
• 37:04
  I don't know. As an organizer, you should be.
• 37:06
  I bet you at Syndicate the girls and the guys were not going
• 37:10
  together. I bet you that.
• 37:11
  Well that's a function of having 20 some odd heats that you have
• 37:15
  to run through each time. 24 heats or something, which I
• 37:22
  think there was ways around it, like make it 4 days instead of
• 37:25
  three. They did that in 2023 semifinals
• 37:28
  when they had 60. Was it 60 athletes in the
• 37:32
  semifinals and they just made it four days so that you could do 3
• 37:35
  and then skip a day and then three or whatever?
• 37:38
  I actually heard there was supposed to be a 6th event but.
• 37:42
  It's still, it's still be going right now.
• 37:44
  But the equipment, the equipment did not get there in time and so
• 37:47
  they just scrapped it all together.
• 37:49
  What equipment would they not have?
• 37:50
  I don't know. It was a this is rumor on the
• 37:53
  street, so take that for what it's worth, but that's what a
• 37:55
  couple of people have told me. And the different different
• 38:00
  sources different like different.
• 38:02
  These people don't know each other.
• 38:03
  What are their names? Joe and Bob.
• 38:07
  No, no, no and and like and I don't even know if it's true or
• 38:11
  not, so don't take it for what it's worth.
• 38:12
  But I mean I just. Don't take it for what it's
• 38:15
  worth. Yeah, Yeah.
• 38:16
  That's probably not what I'm saying.
• 38:17
  But it I think if you, you just need an aerobic attest and there
• 38:21
  wasn't, there wasn't 1 so. I mean, I, we've talked about
• 38:25
  this, I, I'm OK with having some bias in the events in the
• 38:31
  competitions, like a bias. I think, I think if I, I totally
• 38:36
  get it. Like I think we had talked about
• 38:38
  like TFX last year was the heavy one, like and I think if if we
• 38:43
  ever got to a point where this is the format and the semifinals
• 38:48
  are the same and you know what you're going to get.
• 38:51
  So that year after year, you know, if you are a stronger
• 38:55
  power based athlete, your best chance to qualify is going
• 38:59
  through legends. And let's say there's one that's
• 39:03
  like a Dubai ass girl, you know, and like that is your cardio
• 39:08
  one, right? Yeah, and like there's a lot of
• 39:11
  palooza. Like that's your gymnastics.
• 39:13
  You want. If you move heavy loads, like
• 39:16
  better, like more often, like what J Rs programming is you go
• 39:20
  to you go to syndicate. Like you get to choose that.
• 39:23
  The problem is you don't know what you're walking into until
• 39:27
  the last minute. Things are changing at the last
• 39:30
  minute. The way that it was organized
• 39:32
  from that standpoint was not great.
• 39:35
  And so like I'm OK with having some of that bias, but you got
• 39:40
  to know what you're dealing with.
• 39:41
  Otherwise, you have to expect that it's going to be
• 39:44
  well-rounded with maybe a little bit of bias, but when you have
• 39:47
  that much with that many changes it.
• 39:51
  Was very square. Yeah, like.
• 39:54
  There was no roundness to it and like I trashed TFX the same way
• 40:00
  if not harder. I said TF repeatedly said TFX
• 40:04
  was the worst semi final in all of the semi finals.
• 40:06
  Like the test was trash the. TFX like I think I saw
• 40:10
  crossfire. At least TFX had a jog that took
• 40:13
  Cana out. And I was mad that they had a
• 40:15
  jog and Noah didn't take it out. She went way too hot on the
• 40:18
  cleans. But the the.
• 40:20
  Because there was a jog there. OK, All right.
• 40:22
  I If there wasn't, if there wasn't a run, she would have
• 40:25
  won. I don't think so, but it doesn't
• 40:29
  matter the anyway. Off to the next thing.
• 40:34
  I I I wasn't a fan of the programming.
• 40:36
  I don't think it's, I think everybody, most people I think
• 40:40
  are in the same boat. I thought the stream ran
• 40:43
  relatively well when it was working.
• 40:46
  Like I thought the actual stream was good it it cut out for me a
• 40:51
  lot but it was like 10 seconds at a time when it cut out.
• 40:54
  Yeah, I think it was like a flow lead issue.
• 40:56
  Right. And it had to have been
• 40:57
  packaged. Back through their site is all I
• 41:00
  can figure. I agree with some people that
• 41:03
  like if you're paying $30.00 for it when nobody else has to, you
• 41:08
  can't be worse than the product that was given to you that's
• 41:11
  free. I, I it could be the same, but
• 41:15
  it can't be worse. Agreed.
• 41:18
  Pause on this. I don't understand the point of
• 41:20
  Flow Elite because now you have you, you can have paid streams
• 41:24
  on your platform. Like if you have a YouTube
• 41:26
  channel, we can do a, a YouTube show that it's members only.
• 41:30
  And it's like it's just, you know, $5 or whatever cover you
• 41:32
  want to pay. And so I don't, I don't
• 41:35
  understand, there's this whole rumor going around that Flow
• 41:38
  Elite is going to be the provider of live streams in the
• 41:41
  in the future for the entire CrossFit ecosystem.
• 41:44
  And that makes no sense to me. If you have YouTube and you can
• 41:48
  impose your own thing, like what are they?
• 41:52
  Why? Why are you giving?
• 41:53
  Why are you giving YouTube or giving Flow Elite?
• 41:55
  The big lion's share, 50 percent, 70%, Who knows how much
• 41:59
  they're sharing? It makes with the organizer.
• 42:01
  And then they're just hiring out other people to do the work.
• 42:05
  So like you can do that. It doesn't make any sense unless
• 42:08
  you just want somebody to to do the logistics, in which case it
• 42:11
  doesn't really. It still doesn't really make
• 42:13
  sense because you're losing all the revenue, you're losing
• 42:17
  whatever percentage just to pay them to do that doesn't seem
• 42:19
  right. You're losing all the revenue.
• 42:21
  When you know you have YouTube that works like I I don't
• 42:27
  understand it. Like people hated it back then.
• 42:30
  Like. Again, like we we could we if we
• 42:33
  wanted to, we could do syndicate and say you got to become a
• 42:36
  member. There's monthly subscriptions,
• 42:39
  right? I I added a second subscription
• 42:42
  today. If you want to join, it's called
• 42:44
  the Flow membership. It's $30.00 a month.
• 42:48
  Feel free, I do I. You can do it if you want, like
• 42:51
  I don't know what else you get, but but we're not going to put
• 42:53
  anything behind the paywall, but.
• 42:55
  That's where all my that's where all my episodes will be hiding
• 42:58
  from now on. I do that's.
• 43:01
  Why Taylor's not seeing them, actually?
• 43:04
  I do want to implore everybody, if they still have their flow of
• 43:06
  lead account, that the Magic City Games is going on this
• 43:09
  weekend. I'm really excited about one of
• 43:13
  the athletes that I coach in 35 to 39 year old division.
• 43:16
  So if you want to check that out, we will be out there.
• 43:18
  I'll be out there, yeah. In Birmingham, yeah.
• 43:23
  So I look, I think you can make arguments about who should or
• 43:28
  should not have qualified or who could or could not have
• 43:30
  qualified if the things were there.
• 43:32
  And that's totally valid. I, I just, at the end of the
• 43:38
  day, I think that some of that could have been done better.
• 43:42
  The preparation could have been better.
• 43:45
  I think if, if I don't want to see standardized programming, I
• 43:49
  still like it how the competitions can do it.
• 43:51
  But I think there need to be from a guardrails perspective,
• 43:54
  like you got to be able to announce your workouts 2 weeks
• 43:57
  ahead of time. Like that should just be.
• 44:00
  It'd be like. If you can't do that, then
• 44:02
  you're not running. It you're not running it and I
• 44:03
  get and I get Mayhem released, there's like the week of or
• 44:06
  whatever, but they didn't work changing it during the weekend.
• 44:11
  I I think Mayhem probably could do it two weeks ahead of time,
• 44:14
  right? Like if you told them like that,
• 44:16
  that's just what you need to do. They could do that.
• 44:18
  They just move their timeline up.
• 44:19
  It would still get the same reaction, a lot of it.
• 44:22
  Or I think Grant said this in his video that cause like Jr.
• 44:27
  was supposed to be there to to help them with the programming
• 44:32
  where they yeah, right. But like, if he makes
• 44:35
  suggestions and then they don't take his feedback, there's
• 44:39
  nothing he can do. And honestly, he looks bad for
• 44:41
  it, right? Because it's been said
• 44:43
  everywhere that he's supposed to help with the the programming.
• 44:46
  I think that you can select certain people and they can even
• 44:49
  be on the games team that or like, you know, CrossFit H QS
• 44:53
  team, whatever. Hobart, you know, it doesn't,
• 44:55
  doesn't matter. You can, you can have a few
• 44:57
  people to go out and make suggestions, but it's still the
• 45:01
  the person's, it's still whoever's running it.
• 45:04
  They make the programming, but the person that is consulting
• 45:08
  them, they have the final call. So like when you want to
• 45:13
  substitute a run for a stepper bike like and they go, you can
• 45:18
  use this, but we need to run at least a mile after it or
• 45:21
  something like that. Like then then they have to do
• 45:25
  that like they have the final call in, in saying what needs to
• 45:28
  be tested and then the it's on the organizer to put that in
• 45:33
  their test. Does that make sense?
• 45:36
  I just, if I was, if I was Joe and Bob, I wouldn't then reach
• 45:39
  out to anybody. So I don't.
• 45:40
  No, no, no, like like CrossFit says, you have to have.
• 45:43
  Oh, I mean, Crossfit's reviewing them now, but I think they're
• 45:46
  looking at just safety. Yeah, I don't think they're
• 45:49
  looking at all too much volume. If you're rich.
• 45:51
  I need, I need them to, I need to have like there should be a
• 45:54
  consultant for every single one and they have the final say so
• 45:57
  and I don't know why we don't have that.
• 46:00
  I don't like that CrossFit would have the final say so.
• 46:03
  No on on certain on certain like things like like like you can
• 46:11
  have your workout like look they did they did the stepper bike
• 46:16
  ski jump rope workout, right. Be like the ski doesn't need to
• 46:22
  be on 10 and then. It had to be on 10 for stepper.
• 46:26
  Right. I know, I know.
• 46:27
  But for the skier, it could be on whatever you want it to be.
• 46:30
  And then let's throw a two mile run on the end of the rope.
• 46:35
  Yeah, I, I think they should have, I think they should have
• 46:37
  lowered the distances and do some type of run to balance that
• 46:41
  out. Yeah, no, for sure.
• 46:44
  Well, simply all they would have had to do is you need to do have
• 46:48
  some run it over, you know, 2K or whatever threshold you want
• 46:53
  to set to, to, to, to test out that people can run.
• 46:57
  And it's like it seems to wrap everybody around the axle that
• 47:01
  it's like you don't have to test.
• 47:02
  You do have to test running. It is one of the most
• 47:05
  fundamental pieces of, of fitness.
• 47:07
  And it it's, it feels ridiculous to have to argue it all the
• 47:10
  time, does it not? Yeah, I mean, you saw if you
• 47:15
  didn't see, but like Dave Castro was out there at the at the SAP
• 47:19
  Center with a little wheel, hopefully had it set to meters,
• 47:23
  not yards. Yeah, doing a walk for the First
• 47:26
  off site, but you imagine there's some type of run.
• 47:30
  What's that? He can have it's at the yards.
• 47:33
  Just say yards. Yeah, know if it's yards or not,
• 47:36
  but either way, like you know that there's running in the
• 47:39
  CrossFit games and I mean we know James can run, right.
• 47:46
  Dallon's Dallon, Abigail are are probably pretty similar in where
• 47:50
  they would finish in the in the pack.
• 47:52
  We know Olivia on a long run is not going to do well.
• 47:55
  Does that mean that she shouldn't make the games?
• 47:57
  No, no, but we should test it right?
• 48:00
  Like if we only just did burpees and said that's what's going to
• 48:04
  qualify each of the CrossFit games.
• 48:05
  It's not enough. And so running in some capacity
• 48:09
  probably should be tested at this level.
• 48:13
  You know, whether it's like, hey, you got to run a mile
• 48:15
  total, whether you want to break that up.
• 48:16
  Is the one mile all in one like some part of a of event one or
• 48:22
  do 4 rounds of 400 meters and some you know modal type thing
• 48:27
  right, like some type of guardrail.
• 48:28
  From that standpoint I think would be would be beneficial
• 48:32
  because Copa sewer does not have real running.
• 48:35
  They have a penalty if you fail a unbroken muscle.
• 48:38
  I think it is, I think Far East. I can't remember if they have
• 48:43
  running or not, but I don't think they do.
• 48:47
  If I recall right where it's not a lot.
• 48:51
  Stop it. Stop it, Grant.
• 48:53
  Stop. Stop.
• 48:55
  It's too much, Grant. I really hope that's her.
• 48:59
  It's on. It real quick, pool boy.
• 49:06
  I like pool boy's commentary PC. All I've heard for the last few
• 49:11
  years is CrossFit needs a step back from the game season and
• 49:14
  now you're saying you want them to have more of a hands on
• 49:16
  approach. People keep going back and
• 49:19
  forth. I'm not saying that they do.
• 49:23
  There's two workouts that HQ says every competition has to
• 49:28
  do. But I think, I mean, you know, I
• 49:32
  I say this, but I was going to say I think Dave would look at
• 49:35
  that programming and be like, it needs to be changed a little
• 49:38
  bit. And I'm not completely confident
• 49:41
  that would happen. So I don't know.
• 49:43
  I'm just talking my opinion. It doesn't mean much.
• 49:46
  I'm I'm ready to move on. He's he's yelling at PC.
• 49:48
  Anyway, it's fun. True.
• 49:51
  As for Crash Crescendo, really fun doing that that broadcast
• 49:57
  and watching the whip crew, the Mayhem crew, CrossFit.
• 50:01
  Chemo 5 for four. CrossFit 1124, I mean the number
• 50:06
  of teams that Turbo Man was great, the number of teams that
• 50:11
  were that were there and now who will be going to syndicate is
• 50:15
  cool. And we know a lot more about him
• 50:18
  now. Like, like, I'm not going to
• 50:20
  sound that dumb, just a little bit.
• 50:22
  Less dumb. Less dumb am I doing teams?
• 50:28
  TBD. OK.
• 50:29
  Do you want to do teams? I like to do the top heat.
• 50:32
  I know they know the people now a little bit.
• 50:34
  What if you do the first heat? I don't want to do the first.
• 50:36
  No, no, no, no, no, no, 'cause I know that I'm going to have to
• 50:39
  do teams and if you just step in and you're like, oh, I'll just
• 50:42
  do the top team. I'll I'll or top heat, I'll be
• 50:44
  like get the hell out. Pride might start fighting, I
• 50:46
  still. Know the most about all.
• 50:48
  I don't care at that point. It's just about pride, yeah.
• 50:52
  Dude, I'm I'm the blast heat, you know, for every.
• 50:55
  No, no. Yeah, you guys.
• 50:58
  Are going to fight I I but. That's how we're going to break.
• 51:00
  That's how we're going to do the tie break.
• 51:01
  You guys fight. Crash was.
• 51:03
  Let's do that. Well, guess every woman's weight
• 51:05
  and then who the closest one to it will get to be the.
• 51:07
  Last I know one I'm not going to get wrong.
• 51:09
  Now I'm. Game you don't even remember
• 51:11
  what it is. 135. It's 142.
• 51:14
  Nailed it. It's within 6 lbs seven pounds
• 51:17
  or seven. Crash was great and it it like I
• 51:24
  don't know if I have proximity bias, but like it genuinely
• 51:27
  revved me back up for teams again.
• 51:29
  It it could just be J Rs programming too, which is dope
• 51:32
  because we're going to syndicate.
• 51:34
  But like dude, it was just even the hard events to commentate
• 51:38
  like the row, GHD setup, front squat workout.
• 51:42
  It's hard to commentate, but it was still really exciting that
• 51:47
  that made it so worth it. It was good practice for me to
• 51:51
  do more play by play instead of color.
• 51:54
  It was. It was a good use of time.
• 51:57
  No, I think I definitely think it was a good, good primer for
• 52:01
  Syndicate. I think we have some some extra
• 52:03
  stuff in the works for you guys in four weeks.
• 52:09
  Do you think that CrossFit whip is that much better than Mayhem,
• 52:14
  or do you think we'll see a fight, a tighter finish when it
• 52:18
  comes? Down to I mean, they were pretty
• 52:20
  tight. They were pretty tight the whole
• 52:22
  time. There was some stuff that they
• 52:24
  got them pretty hard on, but I thought they were pretty tight.
• 52:27
  Yeah, I I think CrossFit Whip's team dynamics are a lot better.
• 52:34
  It's funny how different the different fitness.
• 52:37
  Is probably really close and I think Mayhem has them in certain
• 52:42
  things and I think Whip has them in certain things.
• 52:46
  But, and I mean history has shown this, the team with the
• 52:50
  best team dynamics usually wins. So I'd probably still rock with
• 52:56
  whip, but they are, they are, they are very tight.
• 53:00
  And I mean, it wouldn't shock me if Mayhem gave gave them a run.
• 53:04
  If, if Mayhem could get it together like just.
• 53:07
  And they're not they're not totally discombob.
• 53:09
  I mean, if they had, if they had won that, if they had won that
• 53:10
  front squat workout, though, it'd been 4:00 to 2:00.
• 53:13
  Right. So like it wouldn't have been
• 53:15
  as. And they were really tight on
• 53:18
  them with another one. And then there were two that
• 53:20
  whip was kind of like. They're a lot better, yeah, but
• 53:25
  if they can, if they can hone it in and like really get grooving,
• 53:28
  I their their force. Same thing with 1124.
• 53:32
  I think 1124 still has a lot of meat on the bone as far as team
• 53:35
  dynamics goes. I mean I if there's not turf in
• 53:37
  a in a plate push, 11:24 should be in much more.
• 53:42
  I heard the plate push was getting brought to syndicate.
• 53:45
  I bet that there's a. Jessica.
• 53:48
  Needs to start. Practicing Hey Jr. named that
• 53:51
  workout heavy laden the second he saw Jessica Androsic push
• 53:54
  that plate and he was like, that's the name that's what
• 53:57
  we're rocking with that'd. Be pretty wild, I guess.
• 54:01
  I guess they could. I mean, you never know what
• 54:04
  Wilson and Jr. can pull off. But yeah, Max.
• 54:09
  I think if a worm comes up, you'll see a big difference
• 54:11
  between whip and mayhem. Yeah, Whip for sure.
• 54:13
  Yeah, Carolyn Klutz might just do that and worm all by herself.
• 54:18
  Pull. It down.
• 54:18
  She's a freak, man. So yeah, that was that was this
• 54:23
  past weekend. We got a lot more coming up.
• 54:25
  But before we do that name, that athlete, we're bringing it back
• 54:31
  this time. John, you want to give some
• 54:34
  hints to Tyler? OK.
• 54:38
  Am I masking up? No, no, no, no.
• 54:40
  You don't know it. You could use all the knowledge
• 54:43
  you want. You don't know it, dude.
• 54:45
  Yeah, you don't. You don't know what's going on,
• 54:47
  but we'll you'll see it. If you can guess it, that's
• 54:51
  great. But first John has to figure out
• 54:54
  if he knows it. That's the first challenge.
• 54:56
  There wasn't. Last time.
• 54:57
  Oh, so John needs to figure it out.
• 54:59
  And then and. Then I'm going to give you
• 55:00
  hints. OK.
• 55:01
  I mean it took John like 3 seconds each time at at most to
• 55:05
  figure this out. So first one.
• 55:09
  All right. Three time male CrossFit Games
• 55:13
  veteran. He was there at the Games last
• 55:14
  year. How am I to wear this dude?
• 55:16
  OK, OK. Crop top.
• 55:20
  Nick, Matthew. Spin.
• 55:26
  What? Nick Matthew.
• 55:28
  Yes. Let's go, Tyler.
• 55:32
  I do before I I I need to. That was quick.
• 55:35
  You like that? Let's.
• 55:36
  Go that is quick that is. Quick wait.
• 55:38
  You need to let the fans put their pick in before you say
• 55:42
  anything. We'll give you like 10 seconds.
• 55:44
  OK when I have it I will start the countdown OK.
• 55:48
  That's fair. I do need to go back.
• 55:50
  I do need to thank the family for doing the broadcast.
• 55:54
  Oh yeah, we. For those who don't, For those
• 55:56
  who don't know, my wife and two boys were behind the cameras the
• 56:00
  entire weekend. Yes, they were.
• 56:02
  And they got better and better, as it as it went.
• 56:06
  Yeah. Atticus Grayson.
• 56:09
  Me and Atticus played chess. Grayson tried to play
• 56:12
  basketball. Yeah, Grayson was.
• 56:16
  Off his off his basketball game, but.
• 56:18
  Really came into her own on the moving camera.
• 56:21
  Yeah. No, it was I would, I would say
• 56:23
  that was probably really tough though, especially on the floor
• 56:26
  because it's so tight there with that many team members.
• 56:29
  You're figuring. Out a lot.
• 56:31
  It's so hard. I know at the end, Jenny, Jenny
• 56:34
  said. She was like, I'm not talking
• 56:37
  shit about any broadcast ever again.
• 56:39
  She was. She didn't say anything.
• 56:40
  She was like, it's so hard to hold it.
• 56:43
  But no, no, they, they, they were awesome.
• 56:46
  I honestly, I'll be honest with you, I was really skeptical the
• 56:50
  first like 30 minutes that I found out that it was just the
• 56:53
  family that was going to do it. And then no offense to you guys,
• 56:58
  I just was like, I hope this goes well.
• 57:00
  That that, that was that the feeling.
• 57:02
  And shot out of a cannon. Yeah, yeah.
• 57:04
  And it went great. It went phenomenal.
• 57:06
  I mean go look at the last event, like following Angelo and
• 57:11
  a few others like Atticus was like all over it and capturing
• 57:15
  those guys. Grayson was doing some scanning
• 57:17
  across the the pull up bar. So no, it was a shout out to
• 57:22
  those guys. All right, back to the game at
• 57:26
  hand. All right, Next up.
• 57:30
  All right. Another male athlete.
• 57:32
  OK I feel I'm trying to figure out 2019 is the best route to go
• 57:36
  here I have it so go ahead and start chat.
• 57:40
  Yeah. Does anybody know?
• 57:41
  No one's gonna say. Anything.
• 57:43
  No one's gonna, no one's gonna know this one. 43.
• 57:46
  There's only one person in Ireland that might know.
• 57:48
  This one OK, Tyler. He likes the cycle.
• 58:00
  Really good at cycling, Probably the crit.
• 58:03
  The best crit. Writer he he has a German
• 58:10
  sounding last name. It's not Adrian, is it?
• 58:14
  Yes, it is Moonweiler. Good job, Tyler.
• 58:18
  Nice. You got it with the German
• 58:20
  thing. I know he's not German, but.
• 58:21
  But yeah, I. Call him the German every time I
• 58:24
  get the chance. Good job.
• 58:26
  There you go. Oh, Phil B, you know, due to the
• 58:29
  lag, he may have gotten it in there.
• 58:31
  He may got before you, yeah. Well, we'll see.
• 58:33
  We'll see. I I mean I'm giving them 10
• 58:35
  seconds, I think 5 seconds. Yeah.

• 59:08
  Put a put a little Irish on it. Put.
• 59:10
  An Iron McQuaid. Yeah, I I don't even know what
• 59:14
  to think, John. Like, this is crazy.
• 59:16
  Like, I get that you could get it, but within like a split
• 59:20
  second you're, you already know it.
• 59:21
  I got it. Yeah, this is.
• 59:24
  I don't know why more people don't.

  Jacqueline Dahlstrom. Let's go.
• 59:50
  Jeez. I'll never forget that moment.
• 59:53
  Hey, we got what? What of this did you do you know
• 59:58
  it's her because of? The gap here.
• 1:00:02
  The gap year. Yeah, so like she did really
• 1:00:06
  good in 22, but that was you're the sandbag.
• 1:00:08
  And like the. Yeah, like I just know that was
• 1:00:13
  her. The sandbag year was her best
• 1:00:15
  year. So that jumped into my mind.
• 1:00:19
  And then the year off made me think, yeah, I think it's her.
• 1:00:24
  Spectrum is showing Johnny. Well, I think Abby Grace is on
• 1:00:27
  there too because she still hasn't walked yet, so if you
• 1:00:30
  want to figure that out, that'd be great.
• 1:00:33
  I saw. She at least she'll know all the
• 1:00:34
  CrossFit athletes. All right.
• 1:00:36
  I saw, I saw the greatest reel the other day.
• 1:00:39
  It said how do you get off the spectrum?
• 1:00:41
  I'm done all. Right.
• 1:00:43
  Can you OK can can you give me a challenging one spin?

  Yeah, sorry. She's sneaky.
• 1:01:21
  We don't really think about her. Amanda Barnhart.
• 1:01:23
  No, no, no. She's sneaky, athletic, misfit.
• 1:01:31
  We met her at her. Paige Samanza.
• 1:01:33
  Yeah, there we go. There we go.
• 1:01:35
  Paige Samanza. This was that was a hard like I
• 1:01:38
  was a hard one for me to like think of how to get it to him,
• 1:01:43
  but OK. This is never been easy.
• 1:01:45
  All right, Next up, this. This will be the hardest one I
• 1:01:47
  think of the options of the tent.
• 1:01:51
  Here we go, all. Right, I got it 5. 4. 321 all
• 1:01:59

  get him Oh, oh, oh, oh, we got it we got it.
• 1:02:05
  Rogue, Rogue. He can't do the sideways
• 1:02:07
  pegboard. The worst showing I've ever seen
• 1:02:10
  on a sideways pegboard ever. You would have beaten him in
• 1:02:13
  this workout. I don't know why we freaking
• 1:02:15
  showed up 'cause. He Bron Bronislaw.
• 1:02:18
  No, no, no. I know that like I know that
• 1:02:22
  John, because he. He had -3000 P score.
• 1:02:26
  Yes, yes, he has the record for P score, Tyler for a negative P
• 1:02:31
  score. Is it that's good for?
• 1:02:33
  All of his name. No, no.
• 1:02:35
  OK, OK, We're gonna have to break this down.
• 1:02:36
  All right, Saunders. Oh.
• 1:02:41
  Web web. Cara.
• 1:02:44
  OK, that's the start of his last name.

  Yorgos Karavis. There we go.
• 1:02:48
  There we go. Good job.
• 1:02:51

• 1:02:56
  trick you. Here we go.
• 1:02:57
  Next up. There we go.

  That's more like it. OK I got it 5.
• 1:03:05
  If they're in the top 10 of 15, he's going to.
• 1:03:08
  Know two one OK the 6th place gives this one away.
• 1:03:13
  She won the O course. It was the only event she won.
• 1:03:17
  Catherine gave her a really dirty look and after the crit
• 1:03:22
  race, because Catherine wrecked and it was to Neil's fault and
• 1:03:25
  she gave her a really like dirty look.
• 1:03:30

  I I got it. Go ahead, go ahead, 54. 321 This
• 1:05:33
  is for Tyler. I knew I knew John would know
• 1:05:36
  this immediately. I this is more for Tyler to see
• 1:05:38
  if he could get this one. All right, John.
• 1:05:44

• 1:06:03
  Right at the out of the paddle board, who tends to be like just
• 1:06:06
  better than everybody? What was James?
• 1:06:09
  Newberry. No, no, no, no.
• 1:06:10
  But where's he from? Where's he from?

  You just said Australia, Tyler, come on.
• 1:06:38
  Did. You say Frazier.
• 1:06:40

  OK, put a little Irish on it. McLeod.
• 1:06:48
  Thank you. What's Frazier's first name?
• 1:06:51
  Matt, Matt McLeod. There's no way I was going to
• 1:06:54
  get there. No 0, this freaking stuff is for
• 1:06:57
  me. I got.
• 1:06:58
  To sit here and watch you fumble around, good grief.
• 1:07:01
  And. The last one.
• 1:07:07
  All right, do you know this one? I got it.
• 1:07:10
  He doesn't know this one. They're just numbers on a page
• 1:07:13
  to me dude. 54321 She's got the the the lit she's lit.
• 1:07:25
  Come on, what kind of hint is that?
• 1:07:27
  Y'all dude, it's a great hint she's her.
• 1:07:30
  Her fitness thing is like she's done with CrossFit and it hurts
• 1:07:33
  her body. So now, now she's all lit up.
• 1:07:38
  The one who got in trouble. No, no, she won the.
• 1:07:41
  It's Amanda Barnhart. There you go.
• 1:07:42
  Yeah. Good job.
• 1:07:44
  There it is. I should have known it wasn't
• 1:07:47
  the the other girl. I can't remember her name.
• 1:07:49
  Jessica Griffith. Jessica Griffith Now I just have
• 1:07:52
  to try to get John to like, not get one right.
• 1:07:57
  That's my new challenge. You can't do it.
• 1:07:59
  I think you got it. Lit.
• 1:08:00
  I was like. If you go to like 2011 or 2008
• 1:08:06
  or 9, I guess you can go to like 69th in 2008.
• 1:08:09
  And I would have to think for a little bit, like I think I could
• 1:08:12
  still get there, but it definitely would be like I got
• 1:08:16
  like 3 people in mind and I'm picking out of those. 3 2000
• 1:08:22
  like 13 and and forward is fair game and then you go pre 2012 it
• 1:08:26
  gets rough like if you dip below 20th.
• 1:08:28
  No, dude, dude, go to 2007, go to.
• 1:08:31
  I have it all, I have it all. There is.
• 1:08:33
  I have it all. Just just go to.
• 1:08:35
  We did 2007. There's no like, I can't play if
• 1:08:41
  it's not like Spieler. John Welborn.
• 1:08:45
  John Welborn and Stone Like if it's not those guys, I'm.
• 1:08:49
  Screwed. He would pick names that you
• 1:08:50
  know, but. I don't think he would.
• 1:08:53
  He would screw with us, dude. He'd make you explain it.
• 1:08:56
  Yeah. Yeah, no, I, I mean, I had to
• 1:08:59
  explain a couple of these ones, Tyler, but yeah, no serious,
• 1:09:03
  man. If you wouldn't, if you want to
• 1:09:04
  mix it up, I think that's better because if you go 2007, I'm
• 1:09:10
  thinking of all those guys and girls, right?
• 1:09:12
  If you go 2007 and then 2023, I'm like, oh shoot, I got to
• 1:09:16
  like, like, like I have to catalog it in my brain, right?
• 1:09:21
  And it takes a little bit to get to the 2023 catalog, right And
• 1:09:25
  like. Sean's brain looks like the guys
• 1:09:27
  from Dreamcatcher. If you've ever seen that movie,
• 1:09:29
  he's. Got a whole library book.
• 1:09:31
  That's that's what it feels like sometimes.
• 1:09:34
  We could do MVPS and basketball, and I know those all the way
• 1:09:37
  down to 1970. Have you got Mr. Gray crawling
• 1:09:41
  around in your brain? No, I don't.
• 1:09:44
  Yeah. When I have to go run Mr. Mr.
• 1:09:48
  But if you go back and forth between the years, it'll, it'll
• 1:09:52
  mess me up a little bit. Like I won't be able to get in
• 1:09:54
  three seconds. All these people are in the same
• 1:09:56
  era, so my mind's already there. Does that make sense?
• 1:10:01
  Yeah, yeah. OK.
• 1:10:02
  I'm just. I'm I'm trying to help you mess
• 1:10:04
  me up. I don't think it'll happen, but
• 1:10:06
  I really want to. I want to see if it can.
• 1:10:08
  That's fair. And last but not least, there
• 1:10:10
  are 4 competitions this weekend. We have the Far East throw down,
• 1:10:15
  we have Copa Sewer, we have the Magic City games and we have the
• 1:10:20
  WFP in London. Too many.
• 1:10:24
  John, are you going to do your predictions for any of the?
• 1:10:28
  Do you see any of these guys making the top ten of the
• 1:10:31
  CrossFit Games? Annika could.
• 1:10:34
  I guess Annika could. You're right.
• 1:10:36
  No, I don't plan on it. Moses Malone.
• 1:10:40
  Yeah. Yeah, Max Krieg, he's going out
• 1:10:50
  to the Far East. I'm pulling for Max Krieg.
• 1:10:53
  I really want him to make it. He's just a likable guy.
• 1:10:58
  Yeah, I think that one, that one's going to be an interesting
• 1:11:00
  1. You have on Copa Sewer, you have
• 1:11:03
  Trista Smith, Miley Wade, Annika Greer, and then the South
• 1:11:11
  American, you got Andrea Pinero. She's going to be in the field
• 1:11:13
  on the women's side, only two spot, only two spots out down
• 1:11:18
  there in Copa Sewer. I will be watching.
• 1:11:22
  I'll be at how how do? We watch YouTube for Copa Sewer
• 1:11:26
  and Far East Throwdown and WFP. They'll be on YouTube and then
• 1:11:31
  if you want to watch the Magic City games, you can go head over
• 1:11:34
  to flowelite.com. Who's going to be at WFP?
• 1:11:39
  James. James.
• 1:11:41
  James. Roman Fee will be there.
• 1:11:44
  Ty Jenkins is there. Sydney Wells, Ariel, Danny so.
• 1:11:53
  It'd be a decent show still. I will say I the I'm really
• 1:11:59
  curious to see how WFP does this weekend.
• 1:12:02
  It does feel like the, the, the shininess, the, the, it's just
• 1:12:10
  over there. Yeah.
• 1:12:11
  Like it does feel like it's just kind of like in another event
• 1:12:14
  happening, whereas last year, like what is going to happen?
• 1:12:16
  I want to everyone want to see what this is going to be like.
• 1:12:19
  And it's definitely gotten overshadowed, I think compared
• 1:12:23
  to what it was last year, so. I feel like I've heard nothing
• 1:12:30
  about it. Zero buzz.
• 1:12:34
  To me, it feels like they're just working out now.
• 1:12:38
  Yeah, right. Like they're just going for
• 1:12:40
  points for the next, like they're going for points for the
• 1:12:42
  next year. Yeah, and it was the same last
• 1:12:45
  year, right. But like.
• 1:12:47
  But it was new last year. We.
• 1:12:48
  Were it was new and this time it's like, OK, well they're just
• 1:12:50
  going to try to get their card for next year.
• 1:12:52
  Yep. I'll TuneIn for the finals like
• 1:12:54
  and watch it, but like that's when it is going to matter.
• 1:12:59
  I don't know the the the appeal of it is, I think, waning.
• 1:13:05
  Is is your stream running through flow elite?
• 1:13:10
  Is it? I'm on hotel Wi-Fi?
• 1:13:14
  Maybe you? Just you, but you just pause for
• 1:13:16
  like a second. I have to say that joke.
• 1:13:18
  Maybe, maybe it was just me, I don't know.
• 1:13:21
  So yeah, I don't know. I mean, there's decent names
• 1:13:26
  there, but. Yeah, I'm not.
• 1:13:29
  It's that it's not in the I'm not worried about it right now.
• 1:13:31
  It doesn't matter in their season.
• 1:13:34
  Like it kind of matters, but like you can undo most of the
• 1:13:38
  damage if you're a good athlete by the end of the third WFP
• 1:13:42
  thing and the game, like the game season is on.
• 1:13:48
  I can't. I don't like, I want to watch
• 1:13:50
  Copasur before I watch that and I don't, I don't really.
• 1:13:54
  I think it's interesting because you have the three women.
• 1:13:56
  Yeah. I mean, I think there's a few
• 1:13:59
  decent men on the men's side. I mean, you got Calian that's
• 1:14:01
  going to be there. Apparently you need a special
• 1:14:04
  type of visa to get into Brazil. So Josh Felix couldn't make the
• 1:14:07
  trip there. I saw that on his story.
• 1:14:10
  So he won't be out there. But yeah, I think that the the
• 1:14:15
  the intrigue of the newness is worn off.
• 1:14:18
  And now you have all the semifinals where it's like, OK,
• 1:14:22
  I want to see who's going to do this.
• 1:14:23
  And like we also have CrossFit Mayhem.
• 1:14:26
  Hendersonville is going to be out down there in in Brazil
• 1:14:28
  trying to take the one qualifying spot on the team
• 1:14:31
  side. And they did not win the
• 1:14:32
  qualifier. So it's not a given that they
• 1:14:36
  qualify. So they could be a pretty close
• 1:14:38
  battle on that side as well. So could be could be interesting
• 1:14:43
  to watch. Points are different this year,
• 1:14:45
  Tyler. Here's the thing.
• 1:14:46
  Like I kind of knew that in the back of my head and I still
• 1:14:49
  don't. I would say, I would say
• 1:14:52
  actually the points changing to just your total points that you,
• 1:14:56
  you get in the event. So the seven scored events, you
• 1:15:00
  win all of them. You get 700 points, 2nd place
• 1:15:02
  gets 2nd every time. It's now I guess I think it's
• 1:15:06
  two points of things. So you'd have 690.
• 1:15:09
  The point differential is actually closer than it was
• 1:15:12
  before, right? So it actually means less like
• 1:15:16
  you're only going to get 4 point, right.
• 1:15:18
  And so like, sure, it matters, but like at the end of the day,
• 1:15:22
  when you have 9 events or 10 events at the finals, that's
• 1:15:25
  what's going to matter, right? And so like, unless you totally
• 1:15:29
  bomb it like I, I just, I don't think we're there in a point
• 1:15:32
  where we care that much for a whole season.
• 1:15:34
  There's no story that I care about.
• 1:15:37
  It's it's not like we had a good talk with some WFP
• 1:15:41
  representatives this this past weekend and with John and it's
• 1:15:45
  just like there's no emotional investment that I have.
• 1:15:49
  Like it's cool. I'll watch the WFP finals and
• 1:15:52
  I'll watch Tour stop 2 if it's, if it's nothing else is going on
• 1:15:58
  and I'm interested. But like there's just no, I'm
• 1:16:03
  watching it because I'm a fan of like watching people work out.
• 1:16:06
  I'm not. Watching it because I have to
• 1:16:07
  talk about it. I'm watching it because I'm
• 1:16:08
  going to have to talk about it like the I'm going to.
• 1:16:12
  I'll probably watch the final heat of all the Copa Sur, I'll
• 1:16:15
  probably watch the final heat of all the Far East, and then I'll
• 1:16:18
  watch the final heat of WFP. And I'm probably going to do all
• 1:16:24
  of that on Monday because I'm going to be Magic City ended up
• 1:16:26
  with my athletes. And, and then I'm going to do
• 1:16:29
  all of that on Monday. And, and then and then we'll
• 1:16:31
  talk about it on Wednesday. And then what's coming up for
• 1:16:34
  us? You definitely have a, you
• 1:16:35
  definitely have an excuse from that standpoint.
• 1:16:36
  I mean, I think there are some things that are, I'm, I am
• 1:16:39
  interested in WFP like with, I believe Pat's going to be at
• 1:16:43
  Syndicate Crown. So like I want to, I'm curious
• 1:16:46
  to see like, does Veldner come back and have a a better showing
• 1:16:49
  than he did at Water Palooza? I hear you.
• 1:16:53
  If Pat got in, that would be so cool and like and like that.
• 1:16:57
  Syndicate 100%. And I don't I don't know if he's
• 1:17:01
  if he's washed. I don't know if it was just like
• 1:17:04
  he hadn't been working out. He had he he wasn't he hadn't
• 1:17:07
  been working out prior to Watapalooza because of his heart
• 1:17:09
  thing and take off. But I know when he showed up he
• 1:17:13
  was like third or second in World Fitness Project whenever
• 1:17:17
  he was like. There to be like.
• 1:17:19
  To be like, hey, I got embarrassed and now I'm going to
• 1:17:23
  show you all what's up. And then there was a double swim
• 1:17:25
  in the final, right? So and after that it's like,
• 1:17:28
  well, I don't care anymore, but so I hope that we see like, you
• 1:17:35
  know, 23 version of Pat. I don't, I don't I have no idea
• 1:17:39
  if we will. I'm probably not going to call
• 1:17:41
  it but I but. But if he's But if Pat, if Pat
• 1:17:45
  goes there and takes third. Would be amazing.
• 1:17:49
  No, no, like third at WFP. Now you can go.
• 1:17:52
  Oh yeah, that's. OK, now I feel like he's in the
• 1:17:55
  running. If he goes to the WFP he takes
• 1:17:56
  10th. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 1:17:58
  I don't put him, I don't put him as a contender in Syndicate.
• 1:18:01
  Right, Yeah, it's a date there. Are some of those storylines
• 1:18:03
  that are that are somewhat. Interesting, but it's additive
• 1:18:06
  to the CrossFit season. It's.
• 1:18:08
  Not but, but at the same time I'm watching it because I want
• 1:18:10
  to know what's going to happen at Syndicate, not because I'm
• 1:18:13
  like on the edge of my seat if Pat's going to take third
• 1:18:15
  whatever at in London. Speaking of which, I agree like
• 1:18:19
  not to Pat had our own backs, but like the whole the whole
• 1:18:22
  time this weekend, I was like, man, I did not expect Syndicate
• 1:18:26
  to probably be the coolest and like most exciting semifinal
• 1:18:31
  that I think that will happen. With the field.
• 1:18:33
  With the field. Yeah, it'll be on par with
• 1:18:35
  Mayhem I. Think it'll be on par with
• 1:18:37
  Mayhem? Yeah, I think yeah, there's this
• 1:18:40
  electric for a whole different reason, like storylines and
• 1:18:42
  stuff like. That, but but I agree that aside
• 1:18:49
  from mayhem, I think it will be the most stacked field out of
• 1:18:52
  all of the semi finals and we already know it's going to be
• 1:18:55
  super well done. It's just on us to do our job.
• 1:18:58
  But like I'm, I'm really excited and I think if, if you're
• 1:19:01
  around, if you're around Syndicate or if you're not
• 1:19:04
  around like. Go anyway.
• 1:19:06
  Yeah, no, but like if you're a team athlete and your gym,
• 1:19:10
  somebody from your gym is on going to teams like have the
• 1:19:13
  whole gym come out. If we're it's, we're going to
• 1:19:15
  make it awesome, you know, and I and I hope that a big enough
• 1:19:20
  crowd shows up that like it will be awesome for the athletes too.
• 1:19:24
  And I'm I'm really, really, I'm really excited for it.
• 1:19:28
  I'm excited as as look at this, this tower that I've made, look
• 1:19:34
  at that. He did that while he was looking
• 1:19:36
  at the picks for the for who the.
• 1:19:38
  Athletes were, or I'm going to stack it to the ceiling.
• 1:19:41
  Speaking of teams, at Syndicate, we have.
• 1:19:47
  Names. Event names.
• 1:19:49
  Yeah, mirror mirror heavy laden litter littering only Amanda 3D
• 1:19:55
  Crazy Eights. The obstacle is the way.
• 1:19:59
  Dude Amanda 3D is insane. What's Amanda?
• 1:20:04
  You don't even you don't even know what Amanda 3D is.
• 1:20:06
  You're right, it's insane though.
• 1:20:09
  Mirror mirror. Like I'm just already loving the
• 1:20:14
  the name. Mirror.
• 1:20:14
  Mirror on the wall, who is going to F up y'all?
• 1:20:20
  Littering only. So we had no littering and now
• 1:20:23
  we have littering only. Yeah, that means.
• 1:20:25
  Wink wink. You probably should look at
• 1:20:26
  that. Yeah.
• 1:20:28
  You think? That's a run event.
• 1:20:31
  You think it's a run event? Has to be.
• 1:20:34
  There's no littering, meaning you can't put the sandbag down,
• 1:20:38
  and then littering only means you're going to have to move a
• 1:20:41
  lot of sandbags from place to place.
• 1:20:43
  That's what I'm called, that's what I'm banking on.
• 1:20:45
  That's what you think, baby. You have to throw the sandbag
• 1:20:49
  down instead. I meant to say you have to make
• 1:20:51
  like your own little Fort and then and when you have to climb
• 1:20:55
  the sandbag Fort that you've made.
• 1:20:57
  Over a yoke. To ring a bell and then once you
• 1:21:00
  hit tap the bell, then that's your time for your team.
• 1:21:03
  That would be cool. Like like you.
• 1:21:05
  See Make it happen. Make it happen Jr.
• 1:21:07
  If it's not even that, just change it.
• 1:21:09
  That would be cool, though. You got a whole bunch of
• 1:21:11
  sandbags, you got to move them over here and you got to hit the
• 1:21:15
  bell. That's 30 feet up, 30 feet,
• 1:21:18
  Yeah. Do you not think that would be
• 1:21:19
  cool? Like like the physical 100 has
• 1:21:21
  stuff like that and I just think it'd be cool for the team to do
• 1:21:23
  that. What does Jr. say on this?
• 1:21:25
  Guess all the individual know the workouts let.
• 1:21:31
  Me move it down. Now, right?
• 1:21:33
  Guess all the individuals know the workouts now, right?
• 1:21:38
  Maybe. Maybe.
• 1:21:41
  I don't know. We don't know the workouts yet,
• 1:21:43
  so. Word is, if you want the best
• 1:21:48
  experience possible at Syndicate, you should get a new
• 1:21:51
  barbell spin Knoxville. Shirt.
• 1:21:55
  Available by pre-order now that's.
• 1:21:59
  Right. I feel like I hyped the predator
• 1:22:03
  version too much. Pull up the shirt already.
• 1:22:07
  I'm. Working on it.
• 1:22:09
  I'm I'm. I don't have my normal set up
• 1:22:12
  here. There we go.
• 1:22:14
  Oh. Look at that right there.
• 1:22:20
  We got a little graffiti action. Dude that looks sick.
• 1:22:24
  Susan make this, I do the design.
• 1:22:26
  One of those shirts that looks that looks really sick, dude.
• 1:22:31
  There you go, pre-order, add it in.
• 1:22:35
  Is that the front or back? That's a that.
• 1:22:36
  Is the back that is the back. It's the front look like where
• 1:22:42
  is it? There it is.
• 1:22:44
  Oh yeah, all. Right.
• 1:22:46
  I'm going to say this once. It was Michael Jordan.
• 1:22:48
  It was all four times. Leave it alone.
• 1:22:50
  Nobody cares. Lebron's the goat.
• 1:22:53
  He's not easy easy. I'm now just spamming spin with
• 1:22:59
  pro Michael Jordan. Pro Michael Jordan.
• 1:23:00
  Just just to drive crazy. Crazy.
• 1:23:02
  Yeah, yeah. Go get go get that shirt.
• 1:23:06
  Vindicate.com. Be careful, I'll send you all
• 1:23:08
  some LeBron stuff and it will not stop.
• 1:23:10
  You'll you'll have it till next year and it will not.
• 1:23:12
  I'll be ruthless. Gray would like that and yeah,
• 1:23:16
  so go to vindicate.com code spin, say 15%, go do that
• 1:23:20
  everywhere. I had my King Kong bag there at
• 1:23:23
  Crash Crescendo. There's a good picture.
• 1:23:26
  I thought that was a legit set up picture for that.
• 1:23:28
  Like they I thought that was one of their pictures.
• 1:23:31
  Nope, that was that. Was Mr. Spin taking that
• 1:23:33
  picture? Man, it's like she's a
• 1:23:35
  professional at that or something.
• 1:23:36
  She does that every once in a while.
• 1:23:38
  So yeah, I think that's it. Short show tonight, spin's got
• 1:23:44
  to work. Yeah, I know he's got a job.
• 1:23:46
  Exciting. So, but we may anyway go go
• 1:23:50
