It's that time in life when you learn,
0:05
you have to plug the plug in the
0:08
whole way to the system.
0:10
We're going to talk about that next.
0:25
I love the chase and the hunt and
0:27
I set the pace when I'm running.
0:28
I always take what I want and I
0:30
always give it one hundred.
0:31
Don't need a bank, no I'm funded.
0:33
Play the game like it's nothing.
0:34
I'm always thankful for something.
0:36
Don't take for granted, stay humble.
0:37
Now wake up!
0:39
It's time to look at the enemy.
0:41
Look in the mirror if he is no
0:43
friend to me.
0:44
It's not working out,
0:45
maybe it's the chemistry.
0:47
It's time to break up so I can
0:49
make a better me.
0:54
It's lunch time.
0:56
What is going on, everybody?
0:58
Welcome to Lunch with the Clydesdale,
1:00
where today we learned that in order for
1:04
electronics to work,
1:06
they have to be plugged the entire way
1:08
in.
1:10
You can't just let them hang out the
1:11
wall.
1:13
You can't let them hang out the mixer.
1:17
I was rushing.
1:19
I was rushing.
1:20
That's really all I got.
1:21
That's really the only excuse that I have.
1:25
On tomorrow's episode,
1:27
we'll learn about the on-off button.
1:31
Yeah, for real.
1:32
I turned it off and turned it back
1:34
on.
1:34
That was like the first thing I did.
1:39
That's the best.
1:42
Here we are.
1:44
You know what?
1:45
We moved past it.
1:47
we do we it's in the rearview mirror
1:50
already man we're moving on to the next
1:53
thing so uh it's been a wild quarterfinals
1:57
weekend yeah i titled this show um are
2:01
we seeing a new era of crossfit coverage
2:05
um i think it is incredible the amount
2:10
of live streaming that went on this
2:12
weekend
2:16
I won't say it was too much, right?
2:18
Because I never want to put a gift
2:20
horse in their mouth.
2:21
But, dude, there was something.
2:24
You didn't have to wait long.
2:26
It was almost – so I liken it
2:28
to a games weekend or a semifinals weekend
2:32
where, like,
2:32
you were just waiting for the next event
2:33
to happen because there was that much
2:35
stuff happening where – and I'm talking
2:38
about from, like,
2:39
watching Joseph Ramirez going with the
2:42
Glintons at six a.m.
2:44
my time all the way through Dallin and
2:47
the boys and Fee and the girls, like,
2:50
and Colton, and it just kept going, right?
2:55
You have no reason to –
2:58
yeah that was fun to watch as well
3:00
like because it went one through three
3:02
four right in a row i mean watching
3:04
the absolutely insane time tutor maga put
3:07
up and it was it was fantastic it's
3:15
all of a sudden people were interested in
3:16
actually funnels because you don't have to
3:17
wait until the leaderboard finally get
3:20
goes live this afternoon to be able to
3:21
see where everybody's at you kind of get
3:22
an idea of what's going on at the
3:24
very least
3:26
So we do put the plug-in issues in
3:29
the rear view mirror,
3:30
but according to Joseph,
3:32
if you miscount reps,
3:33
that sticks with you forever.
3:36
It's not the miscounting of reps.
3:38
It's doing it in the wrong order.
3:41
That's what sticks with you forever.
3:42
Absolutely.
3:44
Everybody miscounts reps.
3:47
But when you do the workout and you
3:49
do a choose-your-own-adventure when it's
3:51
not a choose-your-own-adventure,
3:54
that's what sticks with you forever.
3:58
That's a problem.
3:59
That's a problem.
4:01
You know what?
4:02
I'm just going to do,
4:03
I'm gonna do the burpees first.
4:05
Just call it good.
4:07
Don't recommend that by the way.
4:10
Yeah.
4:11
Um, Amanda, Harry went with hers too.
4:13
We, we left her out.
4:15
Um, Oh,
4:17
So I don't think they were notifications
4:19
live.
4:20
She does post produce stuff,
4:22
but all of hers are out there.
4:24
You can watch all four of her workouts
4:26
on her channel this weekend.
4:27
I watched, uh, her last one.
4:30
Well,
4:30
she may redo it because she actually
4:32
caught herself.
4:33
No repping,
4:34
which whenever an athlete and let, I mean,
4:39
Amanda's awesome.
4:39
She's one of my best friends in the
4:41
CrossFit space.
4:42
Um,
4:45
Whenever an athlete admits that they think
4:47
they've done something wrong and they're
4:49
no repping themselves, like,
4:52
I think an angel gets its wings.
4:53
I would agree to that.
4:58
Right.
5:00
Because so many people are trying to fight
5:02
and defend themselves for what they do.
5:04
And whenever you see an athlete say,
5:06
you know what, I screwed up.
5:07
I may have to redo this one or
5:08
it's not going to count.
5:11
Yeah.
5:11
And apparently...
5:14
I think your plug is still not the
5:16
Hawaiian.
5:16
You're really scratchy.
5:23
I don't know, dude.
5:24
It's all the way.
5:24
It's as close as it can possibly get.
5:28
I'll mess with some stuff in a second.
5:31
Okay.
5:32
So...
5:35
She was doing her dumbbell hang cleans,
5:39
hang squat cleans,
5:41
and their dumbbells touched her legs at
5:44
the bottom.
5:46
Apparently, in an FAQ,
5:48
it said that that is not allowed because
5:55
you can propel the dumbbells with your
5:57
legs.
5:59
Um,
6:00
she didn't feel like she was doing that,
6:02
but the rules are the rules.
6:04
Um, what I, what I,
6:06
if that is in fact true,
6:07
and I just watched it right before we
6:09
went on the air,
6:10
if that is in fact true and that
6:12
rule was an FAQ and not in the
6:14
written rules, I got,
6:16
I got a little bit of a problem
6:17
with that.
6:20
I definitely have a problem with that.
6:24
Definitely have a problem with that.
6:25
If that's going to be a rule,
6:26
it needs to be in the rules,
6:27
and it needs to be out there in
6:28
front where everybody can see it.
6:31
Right,
6:31
because not everybody's reading the FAQs.
6:34
But then again, not everybody is videoing,
6:37
so not everybody's going to get caught
6:39
anyway.
6:41
Yeah.
6:45
That's a problem.
6:47
That's an oversight.
6:49
But I feel like it's a pretty big
6:50
one.
6:51
Well, I say that
6:53
but they're not actually looking at
6:54
videos.
6:56
Right.
6:58
Uh, David says, wait, they can't touch.
7:00
I know some guys that did that.
7:03
Even Hiller did it in his video,
7:05
but he posted his video before the FAQ
7:07
was even posted.
7:09
So then you have,
7:10
you have that kind of stuff too.
7:12
Right.
7:13
So it's, it's, it's bizarre.
7:16
Yeah.
7:17
I don't know.
7:23
We'll let it go.
7:25
I mean,
7:25
that's not how I do dumbbell hand cleans.
7:30
Like,
7:31
I always hold mine on the outside of
7:32
my legs anyway.
7:34
So my initial,
7:35
I went outside my legs on my retest.
7:37
I went kettlebell clean style or
7:40
kettlebell swing style on the inside of my
7:41
legs,
7:42
which made a huge difference for me
7:45
because my grip did not completely blow up
7:47
and I didn't have a strong hand pinky
7:51
syndrome by the time I was over with.
7:52
Like my grip hurt by the end of
7:54
it, but it was not, it wasn't,
7:58
I mean,
7:58
at no point was I about to fail
8:00
a clean.
8:01
So I was pretty excited about that.
8:10
I'm trying to find it as Corey's talking.
8:26
Andrew,
8:27
which position would be a weird position?
8:29
So I understand it would be a weird
8:30
position since the dumbbells have to go
8:31
below the waist.
8:32
Oh, David found it.
8:38
Is it on the game site, David?
8:39
That's because that's where I'm at.
8:43
And so here's our resident head judge, Mr.
8:46
Andrew Stanton,
8:47
saying nothing in the workout description
8:48
about it, so she should be fine,
8:51
which I pretty much agree with, dude,
8:54
because if it's not in the workout,
8:56
if it's not written in the standards,
8:57
most people print out that sheet or it's
9:02
like four sheets long.
9:03
It goes over every single movement thing.
9:06
Right.
9:06
Hey,
9:06
this is what it can look like all
9:07
about.
9:07
This is what a no rep looks like.
9:09
And I would say the vast majority of
9:11
people read that.
9:12
They don't get off into the weeds and
9:14
go, well,
9:14
let me go dig down in these FAQs
9:16
and see about some kind of uncommon
9:17
movement standard type deal.
9:22
Yes.
9:23
Yes.
9:24
you're saying that if the dumbbell hits
9:26
the legs it would likely be in in
9:27
front and not beside or in between the
9:30
legs which who does that like that like
9:32
who's gonna come down and hit themselves
9:36
in the thighs with dumbbells for eighty
9:39
reps that seems a bit masochistic and like
9:42
i know we like to hurt ourselves um
9:45
as crossfitters but even that seems a bit
9:47
much like just beating yourself in the
9:49
thighs with fifty or thirty five pound
9:51
dumbbells
9:58
The FAQ says something about thrusting the
9:59
dumbbells off the legs.
10:01
Nothing about touching the legs.
10:03
Thrusting.
10:04
Oh, yeah.
10:06
It's one of my favorite words there, Vic.
10:09
Answer no.
10:09
The dumbbells cannot be pushed off the
10:12
thighs.
10:15
That comes from the question,
10:16
can I push launch the dumbbells off the
10:18
legs similar to the barbell hand clean?
10:25
So it doesn't say it can't touch.
10:27
It just says you cannot propel or.
10:31
Rebound it like you would if it was,
10:33
if you had a barbell in your hand,
10:36
which everybody does.
10:37
If it's a light enough weight,
10:38
like people are just basically rebounding
10:40
it off of their thighs to get a
10:41
little extra, a little extra bump.
10:44
And nobody ever seems to have a problem
10:46
with that.
10:47
Does that make sense?
10:48
Like if you see people doing it,
10:50
like they got hang cleans,
10:51
they do it when they're doing DT.
10:54
Whenever that first couple rounds, right?
10:56
Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom,
10:57
boom.
10:58
How did that go again?
11:02
Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom.
11:04
You know,
11:04
that's the sound of the barbell bouncing
11:06
off your thighs.
11:09
Sounds like you have a Dr. Dre song.
11:12
Shout out to Mr.
11:15
Pat Lange for also going live on Linton's
11:18
yesterday morning and doing his workout
11:20
live for the whole world to see.
11:22
My man killed it.
11:26
good for you pat proud of you brother
11:28
like that's not an easy thing to do
11:31
not an easy thing to do and the
11:32
fact that he didn't catch cholera from the
11:34
walls of that place that he was working
11:35
out at is actually pretty impressive as
11:37
well because it looked like it hasn't been
11:39
cleaned since the kennedy uh assassination
11:44
like it's it's been
11:47
It's an interesting place he was at.
11:49
He did some quick strict handstand pushups
11:52
and maybe needed to get off that wall
11:53
as quickly as possible.
11:55
Absolutely.
11:56
Absolutely.
11:57
He got it done.
11:58
He absolutely got it done.
12:00
Proud of him.
12:02
So I still cannot find the FAQ.
12:05
Why is it this hard to find?
12:08
No idea.
12:12
Oh, well.
12:13
I don't know.
12:14
We got our answers.
12:15
Yeah, close enough.
12:17
Close enough.
12:17
I trust David Johnson quite a bit,
12:21
actually.
12:23
So of the weekend and what we saw,
12:25
what performance has impressed you most?
12:31
Overall, Tudor.
12:35
I've never seen anything like that before.
12:37
He tripped twice on his double-unders and
12:39
still went .
12:39
. .
12:43
And I understand, well,
12:45
he can do a thousand unbroken double
12:46
unders.
12:47
Yeah, cool.
12:49
But that was absolutely bananas to watch.
12:53
Between that and Colton's handstand
12:56
pushups,
12:57
like I'm not sure which one is probably
12:59
my favorite,
13:00
but I would say Tudor is the one
13:01
that so far impressed me.
13:03
Of the ones I've seen,
13:04
because obviously I haven't had time to
13:05
see them all.
13:06
saturday morning i went in judged a friend
13:09
of mine at uh six a.m coach seven
13:11
and eight did the workout at uh nine
13:14
thirty the row handstand push-up went home
13:18
took a nap eight came back did the
13:22
shuttle sprint uh overhead squad burpee
13:26
like my saturday was balls to the wall
13:32
Yeah, my Friday,
13:33
when everybody started going live,
13:35
my work day went right out the window.
13:37
Oh, yeah, no, absolutely.
13:39
Absolutely.
13:41
My work day was shot.
13:43
Yeah, I actually had stuff to do,
13:45
and I was like, okay,
13:46
I'm going to fit this in while this
13:49
is going on at the same time.
13:54
Yeah,
13:54
it was absolutely insane with Colton,
13:58
the boys, the girls, the Glintons.
14:03
I was bouncing from stream to stream
14:05
trying to catch everything.
14:06
It never stopped, dude.
14:08
That was my big thing.
14:10
It never stopped.
14:13
Losing your mic again, dude.
14:14
I don't know what is going on today.
14:17
I have no idea.
14:18
That's weird.
14:23
Another interesting note about the
14:25
quarterfinals.
14:26
Most people don't know if you register for
14:28
Indy and Masters,
14:29
your fifty dollars goes to the Indy prize
14:31
pool, not Masters.
14:34
Can I unregister?
14:39
Because I registered for both,
14:41
like just to be able to see where
14:42
my score would end up on the individual.
14:44
And if I'd have known that,
14:46
like that's nonsense, dude.
14:47
I'm a Masters athlete.
14:48
I want my money going to be Masters
14:50
athlete.
14:51
I didn't know quarterfinals money went to
14:53
the prize pool.
14:54
I didn't either.
14:57
The rule book only says the open.
15:01
So my question was,
15:02
where does the quarterfinal money go?
15:06
And if CrossFit wanted it to run their
15:09
shit, I'm cool with it.
15:11
I'm cool with a company wanting to make
15:12
money.
15:14
But if you look at the rule book...
15:18
it spells out the prize purse for the
15:20
games is based on the open and the
15:23
open alone.
15:24
Yeah.
15:29
That's messed up.
15:33
I don't like that.
15:36
I don't like that.
15:37
Me and David have been chatting all
15:38
weekend.
15:39
Bro, that dude knows stuff.
15:46
Yeah.
15:46
Cause that's not what the rule book says.
15:48
And you can see like they've already,
15:50
when the open was done,
15:51
they said what the prizes were going to
15:53
be for the, the individual games.
15:57
Yeah.
16:00
So I don't,
16:02
why would you announce what the prize
16:05
person is after the open?
16:07
Not knowing who's even going to sign up
16:08
for quarters.
16:12
If that's the case.
16:13
Yeah.
16:15
David's asking you, what was the question?
16:18
My question was, what was your source?
16:21
Or if you don't want to reveal your
16:23
source, in vaguely,
16:26
how did you find out that their money
16:28
was going into the prize purse?
16:30
Because the rule book only says the open.
16:35
And they've already announced the prize
16:37
purse for this year when the open was
16:39
complete.
16:42
Yeah,
16:42
so I'm super curious about that because...
16:50
Me and David have been chatting all
16:51
weekend.
16:53
And I'm not asking you to reveal sources.
16:55
I just want to find out if that's
16:56
true because my big question has been this
17:00
whole weekend,
17:01
it's nice that CrossFit gets to make some
17:02
cash on this quarterfinal because there
17:04
have been a ton of signups.
17:07
And the rulebook already spells out where
17:09
the prize money goes for the athletes.
17:12
Now where does the quarterfinal money go?
17:13
Because that's not in the rulebook.
17:15
Right.
17:23
Um,
17:24
there was something up here with Larry.
17:27
I'm curious where, how Shelly ends up.
17:30
She didn't do great,
17:31
but I think less than eight hundred
17:33
submitted and four hundred move on.
17:40
That's good numbers.
17:41
While we're talking about that,
17:42
I want to give a shout out to
17:44
one of my athletes at the gym.
17:45
Um, she is in fifty five, fifty nine,
17:49
uh,
17:50
one of the hardest workers I know, dude,
17:52
like coachable, listens,
17:54
does all the things.
17:57
And really is starting to realize like
18:01
what she's actually capable of.
18:02
So for the hang clean bar muscle up
18:05
one, right.
18:05
She doesn't have bar muscle ups.
18:09
So it was like, okay, well, we just,
18:11
we're going to get, you know,
18:12
get to sixty, get your tie break time.
18:14
So I was judging her.
18:15
And before we started, I was like, okay,
18:18
so like,
18:20
We can e-mom this, you know,
18:22
like you just better get a decent tie
18:24
break time and then we'll kind of finish
18:25
it off after that or whatever.
18:26
And she kind of went, okay, sure.
18:29
Three, two, one, go.
18:30
She did sixty unbroken double dumbbell
18:34
hang squat cleans in like three minutes
18:37
and forty nine seconds.
18:42
would have to then take a nap before
18:43
i proceeded on to the rest i said
18:47
so like shout out to my girl uh
18:50
tracy plays on us uh married to one
18:52
of my best friends uh her husband jeff
18:54
another coach at the gym um
18:58
It was bananas to watch, dude.
19:01
Cause like every time,
19:02
like she got to forty and I was
19:04
like, surely she's at.
19:05
Nope, we're not putting them down.
19:06
OK,
19:06
we just gonna keep on going and just
19:08
keep on going and just keep on going
19:09
and just keep on going.
19:12
And so we were talking about it Saturday
19:13
morning.
19:14
She did that.
19:16
friday or thursday she did thursday uh she
19:20
had thursday so we're talking about
19:21
saturday morning at the gym and like most
19:23
of us who were there who were like
19:26
you know relatively high level was like i
19:27
don't know if i could do that and
19:29
i don't know if i could do that
19:30
with the weights that she used like uh
19:37
david reed went three fifty six on his
19:39
tie break
19:42
You know, on workouts like that,
19:44
you have to look at your overall game.
19:46
And if you have holes,
19:47
then you have to attack it a different
19:49
way.
19:49
But you know who doesn't have holes?
19:52
Thirdsie.
19:54
Their game is solid.
19:56
So well balanced.
19:58
It has everything you need to recover
20:00
better than ever.
20:02
Easter weekend is coming up this weekend.
20:05
If you're visiting family or having family
20:07
in,
20:07
you need all the sleep and recovery you
20:09
can get.
20:11
And the best way to get that,
20:12
go to thirdsy.com backslash Jazzy or use
20:17
promo code Jazzy at checkout.
20:18
Get fifteen percent off your order.
20:22
You just knocked out one clean out the
20:23
board.
20:26
That's like home run Derby, uh,
20:28
type stuff on Vicki for like a week.
20:31
A hundred percent dude.
20:32
And look to be to her credit.
20:33
She's been, she's been looked softballs,
20:36
softballs the entire time.
20:37
So that was fantastic.
20:40
So I thought today I needed to pick
20:42
up my slack and,
20:45
and try to find a good way to
20:46
get in here.
20:48
But yeah, it's got everything.
20:49
It's got the collagen protein.
20:51
It's got the,
20:53
all the good stuff that helps you sleep
20:54
at night without getting that addictive
20:56
melatonin in your system.
20:58
It's complete game, complete game,
21:00
head to toe five tool athlete, man.
21:03
It's, it's a wonderful thing.
21:05
It's a wonderful thing.
21:05
I love it.
21:06
I don't know.
21:06
I don't know.
21:08
I say,
21:08
I don't know how I got along before
21:09
it.
21:09
I know how I got along for it.
21:10
I had crappy sleep most of the time.
21:12
So that stuff's a game changer.
21:17
Joseph Ramirez workout to broke me.
21:21
We broke Corey.
21:22
He couldn't use his one hand for like
21:24
an hour.
21:25
It was weird, dude.
21:25
It was so weird.
21:28
I think he was like this.
21:30
So I redid that one this morning.
21:34
I cut two minutes and eleven seconds off
21:35
my time and I had full use of
21:38
my hands by the time I was done.
21:41
Different strategy.
21:42
How good of a co-host would you be
21:44
if you couldn't do the jazzing?
21:45
Yeah, if I can't do jazzing, seriously.
21:52
Yeah, no.
21:52
Reed did that one this morning and had
21:53
a completely different rep scheme and was
21:59
way more manageable.
22:00
And my judge was like,
22:04
I had to make sure that you had
22:05
like –
22:07
was just going so smooth the entire time
22:09
and i was like well that was kind
22:10
of the point so i'm pretty excited about
22:13
that i think that's the key to that
22:15
workout i watched jamie's workout it
22:18
looked like a stroll in the park yeah
22:21
i don't know like a stroll in the
22:22
park maybe central park after midnight um
22:27
Yeah.
22:27
That's how I felt to the park.
22:29
Yeah.
22:30
Where the methods hang out.
22:31
A hundred percent.
22:32
Like I'm, I don't,
22:33
I wouldn't say I was fighting for my
22:34
life necessarily, but when I got done,
22:37
I was very,
22:38
very happy to be done like that.
22:43
At least you're not on that side of
22:44
the park where the guys are waiting for
22:45
you in the toilet stall for you to
22:47
come in and, you know,
22:50
that could be bad.
22:51
That could be bad.
22:52
No, but I'm pretty,
22:53
I'm pretty happy overall.
22:55
Um,
22:57
Just waiting on one at this point.
23:00
And I hate waiting.
23:01
I'm not a big fan of waiting.
23:04
So I'm going to need this next couple
23:05
of hours pass through pretty quick.
23:08
Uh, Joseph Ramirez, if I miss semis,
23:09
it will be because I bombed on workout
23:11
too.
23:12
Dude, you, Joseph is fit, man.
23:15
He's really fit.
23:18
Joseph is one hundred percent fit.
23:21
Yeah.
23:22
And the Glintons aren't done, man.
23:24
They've got one more show today at one
23:25
thirty.
23:26
Will Plummer is finishing up
23:28
quarterfinals.
23:28
It was supposed to be this morning.
23:30
I was ready to be tuned in.
23:32
I catch up on that right before I
23:33
came on here and then it went away.
23:35
So I don't know.
23:37
Nothing like wait until the last lap.
23:43
Will's like changing his tires with ten
23:45
laps to go, man.
23:46
Yeah.
23:49
oh, shit, I'm about out of fuel.
23:50
I need to come in and make a
23:51
stop right quick.
23:51
Like, like, it's not great.
23:53
It's not great.
23:54
Look, well, I'm just saying, love you,
23:56
bro.
23:57
I hope you smash it.
23:58
But I don't remember which one is he
24:00
doing?
24:03
Oh, wait,
24:04
just from your mind was like a stroll
24:05
downtown Albany.
24:10
Some of Hitler's some of Hitler's people.
24:11
Yeah.
24:14
Uh,
24:14
watching the boys do four different rep
24:16
schemes and finished within ten seconds of
24:17
each other was interesting that it's such,
24:21
it's such a,
24:24
a cool concept because there are such
24:26
similar athletes.
24:27
Yeah.
24:28
So with,
24:29
with a group of four like that,
24:30
that are all kind of the same,
24:33
same animal to,
24:35
to watch that happen was really,
24:37
really cool.
24:43
Another person taking a late lap pit stop.
24:46
Just did last quarter final workout,
24:48
blew up my Achilles and calf on the
24:50
last round of second barbell.
24:52
So pissed, pissed, crusty other three.
24:56
I hope we're not talking tear.
24:59
Yeah, I hope we're not.
25:01
I hope we didn't build.
25:02
I hope we're just talking like a strained
25:05
sprain.
25:07
I'm going to need a little bit of
25:09
clarification there, John George.
25:10
Please tell me you did not build Leahy
25:13
and actually blow it out because that's
25:15
not good at all.
25:16
Yeah, we don't need any of that.
25:19
No, sir.
25:23
David Reed,
25:24
I enjoyed seeing how the others attacked
25:26
the workouts.
25:27
Joseph Stalmore,
25:27
dog technique for strict handstand pushups
25:30
was interesting.
25:32
Yeah.
25:34
Duke can do a child's pose right into
25:36
a handstand.
25:37
That's talent.
25:41
I didn't get to see any of that.
25:44
Oh, my God.
25:44
You have to go back and watch it.
25:46
Just fast forward to the handstand
25:49
push-ups.
25:50
He sent me his videos.
25:51
I will go check them out.
25:58
That's not a party trick.
26:03
Yeah.
26:04
Can you imagine being at a party,
26:06
looking over against the wall,
26:08
and there's Joseph doing child's pose?
26:10
And then, whoop, up he goes.
26:16
That's pretty cool, Joseph.
26:18
Like,
26:19
only the CrossFit geeks in the place would
26:20
be like, yeah, that was all right.
26:24
Everybody else would be like,
26:25
what is he doing?
26:29
sitting over there in a lump like and
26:30
you're thinking well that guy's drunk as
26:33
hell right and all of a sudden right
26:35
up he goes vicky says you smashed it
26:43
joseph and that beard game is on point
26:46
his beard is it's amazing honestly there's
26:50
got to be superpowers man but but if
26:53
the ends touch like it can short circuit
26:56
I feel like that's probably a thing.
26:57
I'm actually glad they don't touch because
26:59
I would hate to see what happened if
27:00
it did.
27:01
Yeah, it's like battery cables.
27:03
You can't let them touch, man.
27:06
Live battery cables.
27:11
Grace is fifteen forty when Carolyn was
27:13
sharing about her athlete code last night.
27:15
I was thinking I wish the games team
27:17
had shared that or info earlier already
27:19
bought my tickets before I heard you could
27:21
support athletes.
27:22
Yeah, you can.
27:24
All the athletes games,
27:25
athletes were given a code and they if
27:28
you buy your tickets and put their code
27:30
in,
27:31
they get ten percent of the proceeds back
27:34
to help fund their athletes.
27:37
their trip to the games.
27:39
Um, and Carolyn's is Prevo.
27:43
I need to have her text me that
27:45
and put it in.
27:45
We just started,
27:47
start putting out random Prevo.
27:50
Fifteen.
27:52
Like,
27:52
unless you're a pan check or a Wells,
27:54
it's the rest of it doesn't matter.
27:56
Why not just Prevost?
27:58
Something easy, but it's like Prevost,
28:00
something CF Prevost, CF, CFG Prevost.
28:09
Vicky,
28:09
you got to add an S after the
28:11
O and before the T.
28:16
So it's C-F-G-P-R-E-V-O-S-T.
28:21
Thank you.
28:22
Vicky's always picking up my luggage that
28:25
I leave behind.
28:27
Like,
28:27
I don't know if I could do this
28:28
show without her.
28:29
Probably not at this point.
28:31
Because let's be honest,
28:32
I'm not picking up anything at this point.
28:34
Like, I'm hoping to God somebody helps me.
28:38
I finally got the segue on my own
28:39
today.
28:41
A hundred percent.
28:44
So I will go back and put that
28:46
in the show notes so you can check
28:48
that out after the show.
28:50
And I'll put it in going forward until
28:54
it's down.
28:57
We haven't got an update from John George.
28:59
I'm starting to worry.
29:07
Yeah,
29:07
but none of the athletes got their codes
29:09
before sales went public.
29:10
Couldn't wait.
29:10
I know.
29:13
That's a miss.
29:15
CrossFit has done a lot of things right
29:16
this year.
29:19
That's a miss.
29:20
That's a miss.
29:20
That's a pretty big one.
29:21
Like if you're going to give them that,
29:23
then why not give them that?
29:24
And then, Hey, here's all y'all stuff.
29:27
Here's an extra day or two,
29:28
like an extra day to a, Hey,
29:29
when you, these go live,
29:32
encourage people to use them instead of,
29:34
Hey, tickets are available.
29:35
And then two days later, three days later,
29:37
a month later, whatever it is.
29:38
Oh, and by the way,
29:39
there's codes for people to be able to
29:40
buy stuff.
29:40
Like,
29:41
especially now that we're only a
29:43
twenty-year whatever the heck it is.
29:48
That's just twenty-year.
29:52
I kept wanting to say reunion.
29:53
That's not right.
29:54
Twenty years of CrossFit games.
29:55
Let's go with that.
30:01
Right.
30:01
Bought my tickets the day they went live.
30:03
Didn't hear about the coach until last
30:04
night.
30:05
ken walters wonder if we you could go
30:07
back somehow that's like a hundred and ten
30:09
dollars an athlete could have gotten off
30:11
my ticket yeah that's messed up kudos to
30:17
them for trying to give the athletes
30:19
another way to to earn some some money
30:21
but like maybe let's not put the cart
30:23
before the horse like if that is going
30:25
to be the case uh pat asked when
30:28
will the crossfit leaderboard be official
30:30
for quarterfinals it's got to be after
30:32
wednesday because there is no video review
30:35
but they did not validate videos or they
30:38
did not validate scores automatically.
30:40
And then affiliate owners have until
30:42
Wednesday night, five PM Pacific,
30:45
eight PM Eastern to validate the scores.
30:50
Once they're validated,
30:52
I think the leaderboard is official.
30:56
Yep.
30:57
Okay.
30:57
Not a tear,
30:58
just pain and throbbing up my leg.
30:59
All right.
31:01
So we could come back from this.
31:04
Good.
31:06
Glad to hear that, John.
31:07
Glad to hear that.
31:13
They did the kickback last year too.
31:15
Where's Hobart when we need him in the
31:17
chat?
31:21
Yeah.
31:23
They did it last year,
31:24
but it was late.
31:26
It was when they weren't selling tickets
31:28
and they were trying everything in the
31:30
world to get tickets sold.
31:36
y'all go let's go to Albany who doesn't
31:38
want to go to Albany which to be
31:45
fair like if I would if that was
31:48
in my things to do like I'm going
31:49
to go to the CrossFit Games I don't
31:51
care where I don't necessarily care where
31:52
it's at like as long as it's not
31:53
in Iraq in a live war zone you
31:56
know or like in the North Pole or
31:58
the South Pole or somewhere other
32:00
absolutely ridiculous or Cleveland
32:04
maybe cleveland um i'm going i'm just
32:08
kidding i'm going like it doesn't
32:12
necessarily matter where it's at if i'm if
32:14
i'm going i'm going it's really where it's
32:17
at it's not necessarily okay oh it's in
32:19
albany okay cool i guess we're going to
32:21
albany new york yeah uh
32:27
Iraq, North Pole,
32:28
South Pole would make interesting outdoor
32:30
events.
32:31
It would open up the playbook too for
32:33
Dave to come up with.
32:35
Snowman making.
32:38
Snowball throwing.
32:41
Ice cutting probably at some point.
32:44
Everybody buy chainsaws and like five
32:46
percent of your score is knowing how to
32:48
start a chainsaw.
32:55
Carolyn would do well.
33:00
She would.
33:00
She already has her snowshoes and skates
33:03
all sharpened up.
33:08
Albany was pretty fun.
33:09
Actually pretty fun.
33:10
A lot of close encounters with athletes
33:12
and easy walking except for the whack hill
33:15
to vendor village,
33:16
which vendor village was lame.
33:18
Only complaints.
33:21
The vendor village right outside the
33:24
entryway, Mike, was awesome.
33:27
It just wasn't enough.
33:29
And they put like overflow vendor village
33:33
up in the media area.
33:35
And that was a climb up a hill
33:37
and up and around and then up the
33:39
escalator and blah, blah, blah.
33:42
So yeah,
33:43
it was not ideal being in two different
33:45
buildings.
33:48
But I agree with you.
33:50
It was pretty fun.
33:51
It had a good vibe.
33:53
Albany had a really good vibe as long
33:54
as you were there for the CrossFit Games.
34:00
I didn't venture out downtown to go eat.
34:02
My hotel was outside of downtown.
34:06
Um, and honestly,
34:07
by the time I got back to my
34:08
hotel,
34:08
it was too late to go out to
34:10
eat.
34:10
I was like door dashing everything.
34:19
There you go.
34:19
Um, Helson, I loved Albany, Albany,
34:22
but that was my first ever CrossFit games.
34:24
It was a good vibe games, man.
34:25
I, I enjoyed it.
34:35
Um, um,
34:39
Terry, hey,
34:39
I heard that Cleveland comment.
34:41
It's okay,
34:42
I moved from there thirty years ago.
34:43
Exactly, you moved from there.
34:48
Hey man,
34:49
home of the Rock and Roll Hall of
34:49
Fame.
34:51
Actually,
34:51
I've had some good times in Cleveland.
34:53
Cleveland rocks!
34:54
Cleveland rocks!
34:59
I mean, I grew up in Pittsburgh.
35:00
They're essentially twin cities.
35:04
interesting no one wants to go to
35:06
Cleveland because he's in Cincinnati and
35:09
they hate each other so anyway Alex Kazan
35:22
broke the ice with me the same way
35:24
that was super cool too I wasn't going
35:25
to say anything she was so nice I
35:29
don't know okay
35:34
Oh, yeah, was was is cool like that.
35:37
I found myself walking next to Haley by
35:39
the hotel broke the ice with a convo
35:41
about Star Wars.
35:43
She is a big fan.
35:46
Yep.
35:48
How about Oakland?
35:49
Probably not.
35:52
But you're pretty close to Oakland in San
35:53
Jose.
35:56
It's a hop and a skip.
35:58
I don't think you even have to do
35:59
the jump.
36:00
So if you want to run through that
36:01
park, you probably can.
36:02
Oof.
36:04
Probably not a great idea.
36:06
Probably not a great idea.
36:07
All right.
36:10
One thing I want to talk about before
36:11
we get off here,
36:13
and that is yesterday in one of the
36:16
lives,
36:18
the boys interrupted had the Buttery Bros
36:20
do the commentary.
36:24
And...
36:28
This happened.
36:28
Oh, yeah.
36:30
Everybody's seen.
36:31
Sprague, Dauper, and Dustin.
36:33
Yeah.
36:33
Who are you picking, Matt?
36:33
Well, no.
36:38
No,
36:38
I don't want to ruin my day of
36:39
talking about Pratt.
36:40
No,
36:40
I don't want to ruin my day of
36:41
talking about Pratt.
36:42
No,
36:42
I don't want to ruin my day of
36:43
talking about Pratt.
36:46
So, that was said yesterday.
36:49
I find some of the compliments
36:51
interesting.
36:52
Jenna Hauka just said, ooh.
36:54
Yeah.
36:56
Nick Johnson,
36:58
let me show you my big surprised face.
37:02
Tristan,
37:05
just doing the Iron Man rolling of the
37:09
eyes.
37:11
Right.
37:12
So when I first heard it, I thought,
37:16
he's out at a zoo,
37:17
probably with his family.
37:19
The last thing he wants to do is
37:20
jump on a podcast and do that whole
37:23
thing.
37:25
And I was very,
37:26
very kind of forgiving the first time I
37:29
heard it.
37:31
When I looked at it again and I
37:32
saw the hand motion,
37:35
it elevated it a little bit for me.
37:38
I just don't think he cares what anybody
37:43
thinks.
37:45
And he's just going to say what's on
37:46
his mind.
37:48
And it is what it is.
37:52
But I've said forever that Rich Froning is
37:53
my favorite male CrossFitter of all time.
37:55
There's a reason for that.
37:57
I love Rich.
37:58
I love what he's done for the space.
38:00
I love that he preaches the gospel.
38:04
And Matt's never going to do that.
38:05
Matt never did that when he was there
38:07
before.
38:09
Your thoughts?
38:15
I used to be the biggest Matt Fraser
38:18
fan you could possibly find.
38:22
I identify with him a lot because I
38:24
feel like we had a lot of the
38:25
same type mentality when it comes to
38:27
stuff.
38:27
I'm going to outwork everybody.
38:29
You're not going to work harder than I
38:31
am when it comes to whatever.
38:34
We're both the same size.
38:36
Which for me, like being this,
38:38
this size and in the way that I
38:40
am, um, I liked his attitude.
38:42
I liked the fact that he didn't seem
38:43
to give a shit what everybody else
38:45
thought.
38:45
And I liked the fact that he, um,
38:48
was out there, not just to win,
38:50
but he wanted to dominate every single
38:53
time he was on the floor.
38:56
So, like, during his reign, you know,
38:58
and even leading up to it, well,
38:59
so I say leading up to it.
39:01
I wasn't in CrossFit on a leading up
39:03
to it part.
39:04
But looking back over everything,
39:06
you know,
39:06
you kind of know what his story was.
39:08
It's outstanding, right?
39:09
It's phenomenal.
39:10
Dude's just absolutely ridiculous.
39:11
And ever since he retired, he's –
39:16
He's so seemingly detached from what's
39:19
actually going on here.
39:22
And that's fine if you want to do
39:24
that.
39:24
I understand that.
39:25
But you are the head of a programming
39:27
company.
39:29
You got your hands in a supplement
39:31
company.
39:32
You got your hands in a shoe company.
39:36
All of these things that are related to
39:38
the thing that everybody knows who you are
39:40
now because of.
39:43
nobody knew who matt fraser was and had
39:45
it not been for crossfit he would be
39:47
an engineer somewhere working at a firm or
39:50
working for himself period end of story so
39:56
okay go ahead finish the rogan thing i'm
40:00
i was same same like you like just
40:02
kind of okay whatever you know didn't
40:05
really want to talk about it he's on
40:06
there with rogan you know trying to look
40:08
cool whatever
40:10
Every other single thing, dude,
40:13
like it just keeps adding on and adding
40:16
on and adding on that he doesn't give
40:17
a shit about what's going on over here
40:19
so long as he's getting paid.
40:22
And that bothers me.
40:25
So here,
40:26
so I really had to kind of step
40:28
back, look at it on its whole.
40:33
What was awesome about Matt Fraser is he
40:35
came into this space and he wasn't like
40:38
anybody else.
40:40
He didn't give two shits what you thought
40:43
of him.
40:44
He didn't give two shits if he did
40:45
it the way everybody else did.
40:47
He was going to do it his way.
40:49
And that's what made two thousand
40:51
fourteen,
40:52
two thousand fifteen and two thousand
40:54
sixteen.
40:55
Some of the best CrossFit games ever
40:57
because he was the villain.
40:59
Yeah, he was the anti-rich.
41:05
And he came in and he went up
41:06
against Rich and Rich beat him in the
41:08
last second in fourteen.
41:10
Ben Smith beat him in the last second
41:12
in fifteen.
41:13
And then he finally overcame it all and
41:15
beat Ben in sixteen.
41:20
That's what we loved about him is that
41:22
he was shitting on the standard of what
41:27
an athlete was.
41:28
He was shitting on all of that stuff.
41:31
And that's what made him popular.
41:34
And that's what made him big.
41:36
And to now expect him to flip that
41:39
role in retirement,
41:42
I think is asking too much.
41:47
He was shitting on all that stuff when
41:49
he first got here.
41:52
He has not changed.
41:57
What's hard for me is one of my,
42:00
like Justin Collar is one of my best
42:01
friends in the space.
42:03
And the fact that he is now part
42:05
of HWPO, like stop,
42:08
stop sabotaging yourself in the space
42:12
today.
42:13
But who am I to tell Matt Frazier
42:16
to change who he is?
42:21
And the other part, and I didn't,
42:24
all I've seen is the clip, that clip.
42:27
Right.
42:27
So to your point,
42:29
all I've seen is that clip.
42:31
He's eating, being dismissive, whatever.
42:34
I don't want to ruin my day by
42:35
talking about CrossFit, whatever.
42:37
I have no idea what would happen before
42:38
then or what happened after then because I
42:40
did not watch the stream.
42:41
So I have,
42:43
Maybe he's just saying,
42:44
I'm going to pick somebody and they're
42:45
going to get their ass kicked,
42:46
so I'm not talking about CrossFit right
42:47
now.
42:48
I'm eating my lunch.
42:49
I'm not talking about CrossFit right now.
42:51
Whatever.
42:52
Because all he's been doing or asked to
42:54
do anytime he's been somewhere is talk
42:57
about CrossFit.
42:58
So to give him the benefit of doubt
43:01
as far as that's concerned,
43:03
but it just seems like every time he
43:06
gets in front of a camera for something
43:08
and they catch him candidly,
43:11
that's what comes out.
43:13
So I have no idea what the rest
43:13
of life looks like.
43:15
I have absolutely no idea.
43:16
He's a father now.
43:20
God only knows how many businesses he's
43:21
got going on and whatnot.
43:23
So I really have absolutely no idea what
43:25
the rest of it is.
43:26
I just know that when that happens,
43:29
that's the thing that we normally get.
43:33
So what I'm saying is I see all
43:37
the chat saying, well,
43:38
what about the Rogan interview?
43:39
What about all these other times, right?
43:43
That has been the same Matt Frazier since
43:46
he got here as an athlete in twenty
43:49
fourteen.
43:50
He was the anti establishment.
43:55
He didn't come from an affiliate.
43:57
He didn't go through the things that
43:59
everybody else went through.
44:01
And that's why it was exciting because
44:05
people either said, hey,
44:07
I'm rooting for Darth Vader or hey,
44:09
I'm rooting for Luke Skywalker.
44:14
because he was anti everything.
44:17
He never, never,
44:19
he never did the invitationals.
44:21
He never did anything to help CrossFit HQ
44:26
move this thing forward ever.
44:32
So to expect him to now be inconsistent
44:36
and be an HQ lover would not be
44:38
genuine.
44:38
Yeah.
44:43
It would,
44:45
He never shows up for open announcements.
44:47
He never shows up for special events.
44:52
He never has, and he never will.
44:55
He wasn't asked to be on this broadcast.
45:01
He wasn't asked to be on this broadcast.
45:04
Yeah.
45:04
He was kind of caught off guard.
45:06
And there he goes.
45:15
um but he was pissed if you need
45:17
to go man no no no no that's
45:19
somebody just can't drop the mail off my
45:21
desk no big deal okay but he was
45:23
pissed that he didn't get an invite to
45:25
the invitations that was his story five
45:27
years after the fact and we all know
45:33
that he kept the list of people he
45:35
hated to motivate him throughout his
45:38
career
45:44
I'm Mike DeVito.
45:45
I'll give you that consistently a jabroni
45:47
when it comes to CrossFit.
45:49
That is it.
45:49
Exactly.
45:51
Mike hit it on the head.
45:52
He was a jabroni when he first got
45:54
here and he's a jabroni now.
45:57
And when you loved him in two thousand
45:59
fourteen for him,
46:00
how can you now hate him for it
46:02
today?
46:04
I'll also say this.
46:08
As far as him never wanting to represent
46:12
CrossFit or whatnot,
46:13
I feel like he was representing Matt.
46:16
And he's always been representing Matt.
46:19
And so to your point,
46:20
there's nothing necessarily wrong with
46:21
that.
46:23
Right?
46:24
Do you, bro.
46:26
Do you.
46:26
And he's perfectly comfortable because you
46:29
know that he knows that all of this
46:32
is going on.
46:33
He can't not.
46:35
So he's comfortable with it.
46:37
He does not give a shit.
46:38
He sleeps well at night on his giant
46:39
piles of money.
46:43
It's just that I think we as CrossFitters
46:46
who hold it near and dear to our
46:48
hearts see him, the five-time champ,
46:51
two-time second-place guy,
46:55
hwp owner whatever whatever whatever it is
46:59
the shoe thing the podium thing the
47:00
whatever else he's got going on thing you
47:02
look at that and you go and it's
47:04
hard to disassociate between the two like
47:06
you got all this stuff going on that
47:09
people that are crossfitters are throwing
47:11
money at you for and then somebody asks
47:13
you a serious us you know what seems
47:15
like a pretty pretty easy question and you
47:17
tell everybody to get get bent
47:21
SEMA, well, I never liked him,
47:22
so he just confirmed why.
47:24
That's it.
47:25
I made my choice in twenty fourteen.
47:27
I wanted Rich to kick his ass then.
47:29
Right.
47:30
Right.
47:31
I rooted for Ben Smith in twenty fifteen.
47:34
I made that choice then.
47:36
And so.
47:38
Let's look at today.
47:40
You never see him invited on podcasts
47:42
anymore.
47:44
I don't I think he I think if
47:46
when I think he told enough people know
47:48
that they just don't invite him anymore.
47:51
He was on our show once,
47:53
but here's my thing.
47:57
I had him on once.
47:59
He was telling the same stories he told
48:00
on every other podcast.
48:03
So I wasn't able to get anything new
48:05
out of him.
48:05
Right.
48:08
My better interview was when I interviewed
48:10
his mother.
48:10
I remember you telling me that.
48:13
She gave me way more information than he
48:16
ever did.
48:18
And so like,
48:19
he doesn't get those riches voted is
48:21
invited on everything.
48:23
And every show he does gets shit tons
48:26
of views because he has something to say.
48:29
It's not the same old story.
48:31
It's not.
48:32
And he follows the methodology and he
48:35
follows the sport closely.
48:38
And so he has, it's like he,
48:41
when rich talks, people want to listen.
48:45
Can't confirm.
48:46
I'm going to see Rich Talk.
48:49
Literally going to see Rich Talk.
48:56
I never want to hear about his not
48:57
using a knife to cut food ever again.
48:59
That's my point, Mark.
49:02
Because he was anti-establishment,
49:05
he had a stock set of stories that
49:07
he would tell on podcasts,
49:09
and they just kept getting repeated.
49:12
And if you read his book,
49:14
his book were the same stories that he
49:16
told on the podcasts.
49:19
Well, he's only got so many.
49:22
I mean, let's be honest there.
49:23
He really does only have so many.
49:25
And if you want to get them,
49:27
all you have to do is go watch
49:28
the documentaries from fourteen,
49:30
fifteen all the way through twenty.
49:33
Because they're all on there.
49:33
Yeah.
49:36
Because they feature him on every single
49:39
one of those.
49:41
from whenever he was second place all the
49:43
way through his five in a row.
49:46
No rep, Pappy.
49:47
He will be linked to CrossFit forever,
49:49
whether he wants to or not,
49:50
which is actually his choice.
49:54
His choice was to come in and make
49:56
as much money as he could possibly make
49:58
and leave.
50:00
He never said he wanted to stick around
50:01
and own a gym or do anything.
50:04
He said it himself.
50:07
a long time ago that once he figured
50:09
out you could make money doing this is
50:12
when he started winning all the local
50:14
comps and just kind of escalated from
50:15
there.
50:21
Ken Walter, Scott,
50:22
you and I are the only ones who
50:23
know who EF Hutton is.
50:24
There's three of us.
50:27
I know who he is.
50:28
Yeah.
50:32
Um,
50:34
With all that being said,
50:35
he was a beast competing,
50:36
and I miss watching it.
50:39
I agree.
50:40
Honestly, XIV, XV, and XVI,
50:42
my favorite years to watch CrossFit.
50:47
Until the recent years when we have no
50:50
idea who's going to win,
50:52
those were my favorite years to watch
50:54
CrossFit.
50:57
Wayne,
50:57
he was arrogant long before CrossFit.
50:59
Fame only amplifies what you already are.
51:02
Sometimes.
51:03
agree with that for some people if you're
51:07
an and now you get money you're an
51:09
with money like and you can be you
51:12
can be more of an because now you
51:14
have money
51:15
I think he's an introvert.
51:16
I think he just doesn't like being in
51:17
the public eye.
51:18
I don't think he likes talking to people.
51:20
I think he just wanted to come in,
51:21
do his thing, win his money,
51:24
and go home and be with his family.
51:27
And now he has a great family,
51:29
and he just wants to spend time with
51:30
them at his little camp, retreat,
51:35
whatever it is up there in Vermont,
51:37
and just ride his pit bikes and have
51:39
fun.
51:40
I really would be.
51:43
I say interested,
51:44
I don't really care necessarily,
51:46
but I would be interested to see like
51:47
how much of this, this type of stuff,
51:49
like him happened to be there with buttery
51:51
Rose.
51:53
He gets coerced into doing right.
51:57
Or guilt tripped into doing or whatnot,
51:59
where he's just like, fine, I'll go.
52:01
And it becomes like a, uh, you know,
52:05
uh, I'm only here only here.
52:06
So I don't get fined type situation.
52:11
Well,
52:11
I think this is a factor into yesterday
52:13
too.
52:14
You know,
52:14
him and Hopper didn't end in the best
52:16
ways.
52:16
Not at all.
52:18
Like supposedly it was amicable,
52:20
but that was probably just publicly.
52:22
Sure.
52:23
It feels like he lost a year of
52:24
his competitiveness and Hopper was on that
52:29
live stream.
52:29
And now you're asking Frazier to pick when
52:34
one of his failures is out there.
52:42
Exactly.
52:44
Jody, we never reference a woman's age.
52:48
A woman's age.
52:48
That's how you say that, Ken.
52:52
Because Jody knows who EF Hutton is, too.
52:57
She's cultured.
52:58
That's why she knows who EF Hutton is.
53:01
So, Joseph,
53:03
I heard you say this on the stream
53:05
on Saturday or Sunday.
53:07
Sunday, I think.
53:08
I don't think he did twenty because of
53:10
O'Keefe.
53:11
I think twenty...
53:13
the facts were laid out by O'Keefe and
53:15
then Frazier made the choice to be one
53:20
better than rich.
53:23
At the end of the day,
53:24
it's Matt's choice.
53:27
Push him out to the start line.
53:29
Right.
53:30
I would say that I would, I would,
53:31
I would agree to that.
53:32
Yes, he did.
53:34
Yes, he wasn't necessarily wanting to do,
53:37
but then when he looked at it and
53:38
like, Hey bro,
53:38
this is your legacy right here.
53:42
It's yours to lose.
53:44
It's yours to win.
53:44
It's yours to lose.
53:45
If you don't show up,
53:46
you're going to lose.
53:46
If you show up, you're going to win.
53:48
Like, that's not even a question.
53:49
And he went into the games,
53:51
and he said this,
53:53
like he wanted as much points as humanly
53:55
possible.
53:56
And by the end,
53:57
like the point deficit between him and
54:00
Noah was huge.
54:04
It was absurd.
54:05
It was absolutely absurd.
54:06
Uh, I think he had enough,
54:09
like the point deficit between the two of
54:11
them was enough for him to win again
54:12
or something like that.
54:13
Like, uh, it was, yeah,
54:17
Sam quant was number two that year.
54:19
Yeah.
54:21
He doubled quant.
54:22
Yeah.
54:25
Absolutely ridiculous.
54:29
Uh, fifth title doesn't count.
54:30
No depth of field.
54:32
All titles count.
54:33
You have to face a season.
54:35
Whatever you're up against,
54:37
you take that on.
54:38
If you win it, you win the title.
54:41
Just like the Lakers won the NBA title
54:43
in a bubble, they still won the title.
54:47
You got to win the test that's put
54:48
in front of you.
54:48
Yeah.
54:52
It is what it is.
54:53
It's like saying that the two years Jordan
54:56
retired,
54:57
the Rockets didn't actually win a
54:59
championship because Jordan was just
55:00
retired and they're coming back.
55:01
That doesn't make any sense.
55:08
Mike DeVito,
55:09
and that's why Tia's the GOAT.
55:10
She will never give it.
55:12
She will give it to her last breath
55:14
if she thinks she can still win.
55:16
Her fire may never flick her out.
55:17
Only age will prevent her.
55:21
I don't disagree, but that was rich in.
55:23
What we have now is the lovable cuddly
55:26
rich when he went team anymore,
55:29
family man, before he had kids,
55:32
that dude was a savagest to you.
55:34
A hundred percent, a hundred percent.
55:39
Go watch, uh, fittest.
55:43
Uh, what is it?
55:43
Fittest man in history,
55:44
fittest in history, whatever his, yeah,
55:46
bro.
55:52
They adopted a child and that's the only
55:57
reason he didn't just keep winning because
56:00
they went and got a baby and he
56:01
was like,
56:02
I can't be a dad and compete like
56:04
this all the time because he knows how
56:06
he's built.
56:08
He said, I think I can handle team.
56:10
So let's go ahead and do that and
56:12
still be okay to be.
56:13
And he was fit enough to do it
56:14
because that just kept happening.
56:19
Oh boy,
56:20
imagine being an HWPO athlete trying to
56:22
make it to the games and you hear
56:23
what Matt said over the weekend.
56:25
How do I know HWP has my best
56:28
interest in mind now when the owner hates
56:30
CrossFit?
56:32
Well,
56:32
the only person I know at HWPO that
56:34
has a shot at the games is Alex
56:35
Kazan, and she brought Justin with her.
56:39
So Justin still has her best interest at
56:42
heart.
56:43
But I just don't know where you go
56:45
from here with that.
56:49
You can't have your owner sabotaging
56:51
everything moving forward.
56:56
Agreed.
57:03
Pat, I completely disagree.
57:05
Um, I do.
57:07
Pat says,
57:08
I think it's fair to say that there's
57:09
an element of Frazier's existence that
57:11
scared rich into retirement.
57:13
I think he saw how good Matt could
57:14
be.
57:15
I don't think Matt rich never backed down
57:18
from anybody.
57:19
Yeah.
57:20
If even before Matt came on the scene,
57:23
rich was saying when he has kids,
57:25
he can't do what he did before.
57:28
He had to take a step back from
57:29
competition.
57:31
And that's before Matt ever set foot at
57:33
the CrossFit games.
57:34
You want to know what kind of competitor
57:36
Rich was when the one second place medal
57:38
they got as a team is the only
57:40
medal that's ever been on display at the
57:42
Bourne to remind everybody that on the
57:45
team of how bad it sucked to get
57:47
second place.
57:49
Period.
57:49
He hung that one up.
57:50
The rest of them,
57:52
I think they were in a box in
57:53
his closet somewhere for the longest time.
57:58
We just literally switched to HWPO and was
58:00
very excited.
58:01
Now I'm kind of whatever.
58:03
Arlene, if the programming's good,
58:05
the programming's good.
58:08
Don't let one jackass ruin it for you.
58:10
Yeah.
58:14
I wouldn't leave you with this because I
58:16
do have to get going for work.
58:19
I don't know if you saw Ben Bergeron's
58:22
YouTube post.
58:23
I can promise you I didn't see anything
58:25
with Ben Bergeron.
58:26
How I Built the Fittest Man on Earth.
58:32
But I saw that.
58:36
I saw that.
58:40
And it is a well-known fact that Matt
58:43
barely set foot in CrossFit New England.
58:49
To even put that up as a title,
58:52
a thumbnail, a tease,
58:54
whatever the hell you want to call it,
58:59
is ridiculous.
59:01
Nobody loves Ben Bergeron as much as Ben
59:04
Bergeron loves Ben Bergeron.
59:07
Nobody does.
59:08
Maybe we'll talk about that tomorrow.
59:10
Maybe I'll take a look at it.
59:11
I'm going to go look at it now
59:13
because I, but really?
59:17
How I Built the Fittest Man on Earth.
59:23
I have a headache now.
59:24
The sequel is going to be How I
59:26
Got to Be Close with the Fittest Woman
59:28
on Earth.
59:29
Yeah, a hundred percent.
59:31
Closer than probably I should have been.
59:34
Show me strong.
59:35
Show me smart.
59:38
Oh, man.
59:41
