  a lot going on in the space
• 0:55
  these last couple days.
• 0:56
  Yeah.
• 0:58
  Um,
• 0:58
  we've kept everything pretty full on
• 1:00
  this show.
• 1:01
  Usually I'm struggling like
• 1:02
  on the Monday and the
• 1:03
  Tuesday after the Sunday
• 1:04
  show to like have anything to talk about.
• 1:07
  Um, but man,
• 1:09
  like every day there's just
• 1:10
  stuff coming out now.
• 1:12
  We got the world fitness
• 1:13
  project qualifier starting today.
• 1:17
  Um, did you see, uh,
• 1:19
  did you see spins post about it?
• 1:21
  Uh, do you mean with the community stuff?
• 1:25
  Yeah.
• 1:25
  With like the people signed up for it.
• 1:27
  Yeah, well,
• 1:29
  that's for the community events,
• 1:31
  and you can sign up up until the event,
• 1:33
  and you don't have to call.
• 1:34
  Word.
• 1:37
  I didn't know that.
• 1:38
  I just saw the numbers on there.
• 1:39
  I thought it was interesting.
• 1:40
  Yeah, that they pay out the podium,
• 1:42
  and some of them don't even
• 1:43
  have three teams signed up.
• 1:45
  Yeah.
• 1:46
  Someone in the comments was like,
• 1:47
  this is kind of cool,
• 1:48
  but I wish I was in one of
• 1:50
  the divisions that only had three people.
• 1:52
  Yeah.
• 1:55
  so you could make money as
• 1:56
  long as you are in the top
• 1:57
  three in those community
• 1:58
  events there are some of
• 2:00
  the events don't even have
• 2:01
  three teams in them um but
• 2:04
  we have six weeks before
• 2:05
  that event takes off and
• 2:06
  there's and it's first come
• 2:08
  first serve there is no
• 2:09
  qualifier good for now so
• 2:12
  you and me could do teams
• 2:14
  right now just get signed
• 2:14
  up brother get signed up I gotta
• 2:20
  I got a list I've been
• 2:23
  adding to since I started
• 2:25
  competing of team names for
• 2:30
  CrossFit competition.
• 2:31
  And I don't know why it
• 2:32
  didn't strike me before,
• 2:33
  but I just added the Magic
• 2:36
  Man and El Diablo.
• 2:44
  Sarah wants to know if you
• 2:45
  guys can be a team for free money.
• 2:48
  I'm in.
• 2:48
  Sign me up, sir.
• 2:50
  Sign me up.
• 2:51
  I mean, good Lord.
• 2:53
  What's the registration fee for it?
• 2:56
  I imagine you got to pay to
• 2:57
  play like anything else.
• 3:00
  I just don't know what it is.
• 3:01
  I never looked into it.
• 3:04
  Like there is probably a registration fee.
• 3:08
  Um, I don't know what those are.
• 3:12
  Honestly.
• 3:12
  Like I I'm at a level where
• 3:16
  I'm not ready to compete.
• 3:17
  Um,
• 3:19
  I'm quite there.
• 3:20
  We get working on it.
• 3:26
  So before we get into too much yesterday,
• 3:30
  I talked about my goals in the open,
• 3:33
  how I hit twentieth
• 3:34
  percentile up eight percent
• 3:36
  from the twelfth in twenty twenty three.
• 3:39
  Someone in the chat asked me
• 3:41
  about how you find out what
• 3:44
  those levels are and stuff like that.
• 3:46
  I actually have the chart.
• 3:49
  Here, pull it up.
• 3:52
  Let me... This one.
• 3:57
  There we go.
• 3:59
  So it's tiny.
• 4:00
  I'll blow it up here.
• 4:01
  Yeah, yeah.
• 4:02
  Find my mouse.
• 4:03
  There we go.
• 4:03
  All right.
• 4:07
  So there are five divisions, pro, advanced,
• 4:10
  intermediate, novice, and rookie.
• 4:13
  As I mentioned yesterday...
• 4:17
  I think I'm level two,
• 4:18
  but actually I didn't realize this.
• 4:20
  There's a fifty five plus level.
• 4:23
  So one through five is
• 4:25
  eleven to twenty first percentile.
• 4:29
  So maybe I'm a level five now.
• 4:31
  I don't know.
• 4:32
  But in the regular division,
• 4:34
  it is eleven to twenty one
• 4:36
  percent is level two.
• 4:38
  And then like twenty two to
• 4:39
  thirty two is level three.
• 4:41
  Thirty three to forty three is level four.
• 4:43
  Forty four to fifty four is level five.
• 4:46
  Fifty five to sixty five is level six.
• 4:49
  Sixty six to seventy six is seven.
• 4:52
  Seventy seven to eighty seven is eight.
• 4:54
  Eighty eight to ninety eight is nine.
• 4:55
  And you have to be in the
• 4:56
  ninety ninth or higher
• 4:58
  percentile to be level ten.
• 5:00
  and you can find your
• 5:03
  percentile by logging into
• 5:05
  the app it's like on the
• 5:06
  first page you see they
• 5:08
  give you a percentile of
• 5:10
  where you finished then you
• 5:11
  just come over to here you
• 5:14
  plug in the percentile you
• 5:16
  finished and it'll tell you
• 5:17
  what level you are look
• 5:21
  that up now while we're
• 5:22
  talking about it because it uh
• 5:27
  would be a lot easier if in
• 5:29
  the app they told you if um
• 5:34
  what your level is in
• 5:35
  addition to so I don't know
• 5:39
  if it's still doing it the
• 5:40
  same way it used to but I
• 5:41
  know like on my profile
• 5:43
  from last year or the
• 5:45
  current current one or
• 5:46
  whatever it said what
• 5:47
  number I was next to my
• 5:48
  name like if you go look at
• 5:49
  your athlete profile on the app
• 5:53
  I don't know if they're
• 5:54
  still quantifying it like they did before,
• 5:56
  but it was on there before.
• 5:59
  Yeah, I've been looking.
• 6:01
  It's just percentile at this point.
• 6:04
  So you can see like there.
• 6:08
  I don't know if you can.
• 6:10
  Yeah.
• 6:11
  What I'm saying is if you go
• 6:12
  look at your stuff, it's not that,
• 6:15
  but like go click on where
• 6:16
  you can view your profile.
• 6:17
  It had a number by it.
• 6:19
  Okay.
• 6:19
  Okay.
• 6:22
  Like where it says view athlete profile.
• 6:25
  So right now mine doesn't have anything.
• 6:29
  Yeah.
• 6:30
  My last year that had a number next to it.
• 6:32
  Okay.
• 6:33
  Yeah.
• 6:33
  Nothing on my athlete profile at all.
• 6:37
  But yeah, there's my world ride.
• 6:40
  Twentieth percentile.
• 6:44
  Right along.
• 6:45
  Maybe one percent better every day.
• 6:47
  D Reed says he's two levels below rookie.
• 6:51
  I have one that's hard to believe.
• 6:55
  Doug's fit, man.
• 6:56
  Don't let him lie to you.
• 6:58
  I know his name's David, by the way.
• 6:59
  We just like to call him
• 7:00
  Doug Reed because Seve's
• 7:02
  been calling him Doug Reed
• 7:03
  for the past six months.
• 7:04
  So yeah, those are the levels.
• 7:08
  I didn't realize that
• 7:09
  Fifty-Five Plus and
• 7:10
  Fourteen to Fifteen had
• 7:11
  their own set of criteria.
• 7:15
  And so,
• 7:16
  eleven to twenty-one is one through five.
• 7:19
  And then you get ten at
• 7:21
  sixty-six percent if fifty-five plus.
• 7:25
  That don't make a lot of sense to me.
• 7:26
  I don't know why the
• 7:27
  percentile of one would be
• 7:29
  different than the
• 7:30
  percentile of the other.
• 7:32
  Yeah,
• 7:38
  that's kind of... You consider it a ten,
• 7:39
  but you're only in as,
• 7:40
  you know... Sixty-seven percentile?
• 7:43
  Yeah.
• 7:43
  Yeah.
• 7:45
  That's kind of weird.
• 7:46
  Is that supposed to be like
• 7:47
  an overall thing?
• 7:48
  I guess that's how they're
• 7:49
  going to do it for the community cup,
• 7:52
  the community cup.
• 7:53
  So this is actually called
• 7:55
  the community cup tiers.
• 7:58
  Yeah.
• 8:01
  So like I said,
• 8:01
  doing that proceeding
• 8:02
  because you go against your level,
• 8:04
  not necessarily your age group.
• 8:06
  yeah and then they're the
• 8:07
  fourteen fifteen year olds
• 8:08
  you only have to be in well
• 8:11
  it's eight to ten so
• 8:13
  somewhere in that range of
• 8:15
  forty four to sixty five
• 8:17
  you start level ten I think
• 8:20
  that's fair because some
• 8:22
  fourteen fifteen year olds
• 8:23
  are like already hidden
• 8:25
  already hit puberty started
• 8:26
  growing and whatnot some
• 8:27
  are not like still you know
• 8:30
  developing and whatnot so
• 8:32
  it's kind of a lot of match
• 8:32
  up against the same age
• 8:34
  group the two ages like I
• 8:36
  don't know why you wouldn't
• 8:37
  just use the same
• 8:37
  percentage but maybe the
• 8:39
  numbers are so small that
• 8:40
  the upper tiers would
• 8:42
  wouldn't be enough to form
• 8:43
  a full amount of people
• 8:46
  that's probably what it is
• 8:47
  fifty five plus and
• 8:48
  fourteen and fifteen the
• 8:50
  groups would be too small
• 8:53
  so you have yeah like your
• 8:54
  age group so my my one of
• 8:57
  my best friends uh bernard
• 8:58
  like he's fifty five plus
• 9:00
  two and uh we were talking
• 9:03
  about the other day like
• 9:04
  there's thirteen thousand
• 9:05
  people in forty five forty nine men
• 9:08
  Like just just just my age group.
• 9:10
  And then fifty five, fifty nine,
• 9:13
  like it dropped down tremendously.
• 9:16
  Like the number was way,
• 9:17
  way lower in fifty five, fifty nine.
• 9:21
  As far as like, you know,
• 9:22
  people actually registered for the open.
• 9:24
  It was mind boggling because
• 9:27
  it's not that much older than me,
• 9:29
  relatively speaking.
• 9:30
  I mean, I'll be forty eight in a month.
• 9:33
  And I'm not that far from fifty five,
• 9:35
  fifty nine.
• 9:36
  And just the numbers that
• 9:37
  the amount of number that dropped off,
• 9:39
  I thought was absolutely bananas.
• 9:41
  I think Sarah hit it on the head.
• 9:42
  I think when you get to
• 9:44
  fifty five plus and fourteen, fifteen,
• 9:45
  they're just they're different groups.
• 9:46
  There's less signups.
• 9:48
  Yeah.
• 9:49
  Like we always talk about
• 9:49
  the Masters being the most
• 9:51
  populated signups to the open.
• 9:53
  But that's really the thirty
• 9:54
  five to forty nine year old divisions.
• 9:57
  Yeah.
• 9:58
  Like it's those three
• 9:59
  divisions that are fifty
• 10:01
  percent of open signups.
• 10:04
  I'm sure other divisions sign up as well,
• 10:08
  but just not at the clip
• 10:09
  that those three do.
• 10:12
  Yeah, I mean,
• 10:13
  obviously the open division
• 10:14
  is the biggest one.
• 10:14
  And then that thirty five, like you said,
• 10:17
  from thirty five to forty nine,
• 10:20
  there's a lot of people.
• 10:21
  I mean, good Lord.
• 10:26
  yes doug you are correct
• 10:29
  yeah I was a listen what
• 10:32
  happens at fifty five I was
• 10:34
  a big benefit from um I was
• 10:38
  not I I have an rx to uh an
• 10:40
  open workout and so damn
• 10:42
  long um and I I could have
• 10:46
  rx'd all three this year um
• 10:49
  I I did rx too
• 10:51
  And again, I've said the second one,
• 10:53
  I chose to compete against
• 10:54
  my old score rather than go
• 10:56
  RX because I wanted to see
• 10:58
  where I was at.
• 11:01
  So I did that one twice, Scott,
• 11:04
  just saying,
• 11:04
  did one against your old score,
• 11:06
  gave yourself two days and
• 11:07
  then do it again.
• 11:08
  I am fifty five.
• 11:10
  I'm fifty five.
• 11:12
  And that means body can do one a weekend.
• 11:17
  I'm a one and done for the
• 11:18
  rest of my life.
• 11:21
  You young kids in your forties,
• 11:24
  you can go twice,
• 11:26
  three times if you want on the weekend.
• 11:29
  I'm a one and done-er.
• 11:29
  You young kids and that dog.
• 11:33
  I feel like you're talking
• 11:34
  about Scooby-Doo at this point.
• 11:36
  Yeah.
• 11:38
  You pesky kids.
• 11:41
  Meddling kids and that dog.
• 11:44
  My wife, my friends,
• 11:46
  everybody knows I've become
• 11:48
  the get off my lawn dude.
• 11:50
  Oh, I can't wait.
• 11:52
  I'm already, look, I'm halfway there.
• 11:54
  My neighbors, I'll get home.
• 11:58
  So our houses face each
• 12:01
  other in our neighborhood,
• 12:03
  which is not necessarily a thing.
• 12:04
  So like when I pull into my garage,
• 12:06
  I can see their garage,
• 12:06
  which is not supposed to be
• 12:08
  a thing in the neighborhood.
• 12:10
  And I'll get home and one of
• 12:12
  their kids will be like the
• 12:14
  back tire of his car that
• 12:16
  we parked in the street.
• 12:17
  But the back tire will be on
• 12:18
  my grass and I lose my ever loving mind.
• 12:23
  I'm like,
• 12:23
  I'm like actually physically angry.
• 12:26
  I want to take the tow strap
• 12:28
  out the back of my Jeep and
• 12:30
  hook it to Bryce's car and
• 12:31
  pull it out of the way.
• 12:33
  So, yeah, I feel you.
• 12:35
  I'll take your forty year
• 12:37
  old grumpy old man and I will raise you.
• 12:41
  If I if I'm driving down my
• 12:42
  street and a car is this
• 12:45
  far off the curb.
• 12:48
  Giving me little space to get by.
• 12:52
  I lose my I want to get out,
• 12:54
  write a note on, put it on the windshield,
• 12:57
  learn how to park your car.
• 13:00
  So FYI, don't ask me how I know this,
• 13:03
  but you can order
• 13:05
  pre-posted pre-printed
• 13:07
  sticky notes from Amazon
• 13:11
  and you can write whatever
• 13:12
  you want on them.
• 13:14
  Again, don't ask me how I know that.
• 13:19
  My wife may or may not be
• 13:21
  waiting for me to pull the
• 13:22
  trigger on them to go get them.
• 13:24
  Cause we got the exact same
• 13:25
  problem in my neighborhood.
• 13:26
  I go to turn.
• 13:28
  The street before I turned
• 13:29
  on in my house and people
• 13:30
  are just in the parked in
• 13:32
  the street for no,
• 13:33
  and there's nobody in their driveway.
• 13:36
  That's the part that, but that really,
• 13:38
  like, there's nobody in the driveway.
• 13:39
  Why are you parked in the street?
• 13:42
  Like, I don't,
• 13:42
  I can't wrap my head around
• 13:44
  it and it drives me absolutely bananas.
• 13:47
  Cause I don't do that.
• 13:48
  I would never do that.
• 13:49
  Yeah.
• 13:50
  Before we did the lunch with,
• 13:53
  on the round table,
• 13:54
  I talked about how I had a
• 13:55
  woodpecker last summer in fall.
• 13:57
  I remember that.
• 13:58
  And I would run out the door,
• 13:59
  and I would yell at the
• 14:00
  woodpecker to get going,
• 14:03
  like throughout the day.
• 14:04
  I would hear him.
• 14:05
  Old man yells at bird.
• 14:08
  I have a post out on my front porch,
• 14:10
  and he would peck right through that post,
• 14:14
  right?
• 14:16
  Yeah.
• 14:16
  All fall, I'm yelling at this thing.
• 14:18
  And I literally had my BB gun loaded,
• 14:21
  ready to take him out.
• 14:23
  And then like winter came
• 14:25
  and it kind of went away.
• 14:26
  But what I didn't realize is
• 14:28
  he got the whole way through.
• 14:31
  So now I have squirrels living in my post,
• 14:37
  taking their nuts and seeds
• 14:39
  into the hole and down in.
• 14:41
  And so I go out,
• 14:42
  like take my dog out and I
• 14:43
  hear the rustling inside my
• 14:45
  post out on the front, on my front porch.
• 14:51
  So now how do I get the
• 14:52
  squirrels out before I plug that hole in?
• 14:57
  Yeah.
• 14:58
  I'm going to have dead
• 14:59
  carcasses in my pole
• 15:02
  smelling up the joint.
• 15:04
  Well, I feel like if you go to,
• 15:05
  you get ready to plug it,
• 15:06
  they're going to get scared
• 15:07
  and they're going to get out the hole.
• 15:08
  They're not just going to
• 15:09
  hide up in there.
• 15:09
  They're going to get out.
• 15:12
  Yeah.
• 15:12
  No, in my life,
• 15:14
  as I'm plugging it right
• 15:15
  into like Clark Griswold me right,
• 15:17
  right to the face.
• 15:22
  I mean, possibly.
• 15:24
  Oh,
• 15:24
  you don't yell squirrel and wreck the
• 15:25
  car.
• 15:25
  You ought to be all right.
• 15:31
  The plight of the suburban grumpy old man.
• 15:33
  A hundred percent.
• 15:34
  A hundred percent.
• 15:35
  A hundred percent.
• 15:38
  Old man yells at cloud.
• 15:39
  The other thing that gets to me, man,
• 15:42
  is because I have a dog and the dog,
• 15:44
  like anytime somebody comes
• 15:45
  to my front yard, he loses his mind.
• 15:48
  So I have all these like
• 15:51
  elementary school age kids that live
• 15:53
  around me for some reason
• 15:57
  when they get off the bus
• 15:58
  at the end of the street
• 15:59
  it's probably a hundred
• 16:01
  yards away they mosey down
• 16:04
  the street and they seem to
• 16:05
  gather and um and convene
• 16:10
  some kind of meeting right
• 16:12
  in front of my house every
• 16:14
  day after school and my dog
• 16:18
  loses his mind and I'm just like
• 16:21
  that's where I want to run up,
• 16:22
  run out the door and say,
• 16:24
  you kids get off my, you know,
• 16:27
  actually get off my lawn.
• 16:29
  Yes.
• 16:32
  Truly.
• 16:32
  That's fantastic.
• 16:34
  That's fantastic.
• 16:35
  And they're not doing anything.
• 16:36
  That's the best part about it.
• 16:37
  When you have kids,
• 16:39
  you're more tolerant of all that, right?
• 16:43
  You've lost all tolerance for that,
• 16:44
  that stuff.
• 16:47
  It is crazy.
• 16:48
  Looking outside.
• 16:49
  What are those kids doing?
• 16:51
  Nevermind the fact that you guys didn't,
• 16:52
  you always used to be doing
• 16:53
  the same thing and they're
• 16:54
  now grown and it's not there.
• 16:55
  It's the only thing that's changed.
• 16:57
  Well,
• 16:57
  I think the other thing is that this
• 16:58
  is my office now, right?
• 16:59
  I work from home.
• 17:01
  So like I finished my day at five Eastern,
• 17:04
  the kids come home from school at three.
• 17:05
  So I'm in the middle of my
• 17:06
  work day and then I get
• 17:08
  disrupted with this dog and everything.
• 17:10
  So I think that adds to the
• 17:12
  aggravation of it all,
• 17:14
  but I'd probably still be
• 17:15
  that grumpy guy anyway.
• 17:16
  But,
• 17:19
  I can't wait, dude.
• 17:19
  I wish I had a good front
• 17:20
  porch to sit on so that
• 17:21
  when I did get old and was
• 17:23
  retired at home,
• 17:23
  I couldn't just yell at
• 17:26
  people that happened by.
• 17:29
  Get out of here.
• 17:31
  Reed echoes what my wife
• 17:32
  says every time we drive in
• 17:33
  our neighborhood.
• 17:35
  Why can't you park in your driveway?
• 17:38
  It's what it's there for.
• 17:40
  Right.
• 17:42
  Going out of our neighborhood,
• 17:45
  like the last little bend
• 17:46
  before you go out,
• 17:48
  People park on that bend.
• 17:50
  It is a complete blind curve.
• 17:54
  And you're just praying
• 17:55
  nothing's coming the other
• 17:56
  way at any rate of speed.
• 17:58
  Jesus Christ.
• 18:05
  Yeah.
• 18:05
  Better yet, park in your bloody garage.
• 18:08
  Amen.
• 18:10
  James checking in from the West Coast.
• 18:14
  Up early?
• 18:15
  Not early now, but
• 18:18
  I mean early enough and
• 18:19
  still nine thirty four over
• 18:20
  there yeah so one thing I
• 18:24
  did want to do um today
• 18:25
  that I I kind of omitted
• 18:27
  yesterday is because we
• 18:28
  were talking about carolyn
• 18:29
  and jamie and winning their
• 18:30
  open divisions and how
• 18:33
  incredibly fit they are
• 18:36
  And how privileged we are
• 18:37
  that we get that
• 18:38
  perspective from those two
• 18:40
  ladies every Sunday night.
• 18:42
  I am one of the luckiest
• 18:43
  guys in the world to be
• 18:44
  able to have those two as my co-hosts,
• 18:47
  giving that perspective as
• 18:48
  elite athletes.
• 18:51
  But we also had some
• 18:53
  audience members who have
• 18:55
  become friends tremendously.
• 18:58
  Two of them, especially,
• 18:59
  that won the Open as well.
• 19:01
  And one of them was Chris
• 19:02
  Anderson in your division.
• 19:05
  Yep.
• 19:06
  He's become a great friend of the show.
• 19:08
  I got to know him through the burgers.
• 19:11
  Yep, he's fit, dude.
• 19:12
  That dude's fit.
• 19:13
  And Rudy took second in the open.
• 19:17
  To J.R.
• 19:19
  Howell, of all people,
• 19:20
  I did not see that coming.
• 19:22
  Well, Chris Anderson took first.
• 19:25
  Yeah, but in Rudy's division.
• 19:27
  Oh, in that two-and-five-three?
• 19:30
  Rudy took second.
• 19:33
  To J.R.
• 19:34
  Howell.
• 19:35
  Oh, wow.
• 19:37
  Yeah.
• 19:38
  I didn't see that coming like that.
• 19:41
  I mean, I know J.R.
• 19:42
  's fit, obviously,
• 19:43
  but I also like I have
• 19:46
  worked out next to Rudy.
• 19:47
  Like I know how fit that dude is.
• 19:49
  And it is that is wild to me
• 19:51
  that I didn't realize J.R.
• 19:53
  was that fit.
• 19:55
  yeah I've done documentaries
• 19:57
  on rudy and they're both
• 20:00
  still living out there on
• 20:01
  youtube uh that guy is
• 20:03
  amazing and as good of an
• 20:05
  athlete as he is he's that
• 20:08
  much better a person a
• 20:11
  hundred percent the same
• 20:14
  way I feel about chris
• 20:14
  anderson um super fit dude
• 20:18
  but like one of the nicest
• 20:19
  guys you'll ever meet
• 20:21
  And then the other person
• 20:22
  from our crew that killed
• 20:24
  it is Denise Moore.
• 20:27
  Denise Moore, who's always in the chat,
• 20:31
  ended up winning the sixty
• 20:32
  five to sixty nine year old division.
• 20:35
  Let's go.
• 20:36
  So I want to shout out to
• 20:38
  those two who are clear
• 20:40
  friends of the show and so
• 20:42
  happy for them.
• 20:43
  It just.
• 20:45
  swells up my pride and my
• 20:47
  beans in my heart,
• 20:49
  whatever those sayings are.
• 20:54
  They're killing it like that.
• 20:56
  The cockles,
• 20:57
  warms the cockles of your heart.
• 20:58
  I don't know exactly where that part is.
• 21:01
  I knew the current Cajun guy
• 21:02
  would know the euphemism.
• 21:07
  Cockles of the heart, baby.
• 21:08
  Cockles of the heart.
• 21:10
  Shay says,
• 21:10
  always look forward to the Sunday show.
• 21:13
  Shay,
• 21:14
  you're one of the best commenters in
• 21:16
  our group.
• 21:17
  Love getting your chats
• 21:20
  every Monday morning after
• 21:21
  the show and getting your input.
• 21:24
  Thankful that you're there.
• 21:26
  Tristan, dude, JR is fit fit.
• 21:31
  Obviously.
• 21:31
  Yeah.
• 21:33
  Obviously.
• 21:36
  Yeah.
• 21:36
  I wish,
• 21:38
  I think that's the hardest thing
• 21:39
  with the masters is like to
• 21:40
  do a deep dive into what all happened.
• 21:43
  There's so many divisions,
• 21:46
  so many divisions that you
• 21:47
  have to get through to kind of see it.
• 21:49
  And that my two co-hosts are
• 21:51
  in that group.
• 21:52
  Those are the names I look for first.
• 21:54
  Yeah.
• 21:56
  It's Jamie and Carolyn and then Rudy.
• 22:00
  because those are my like
• 22:01
  close close friends um and
• 22:04
  then it's like denise and
• 22:06
  then it's then it looks
• 22:07
  through the rest like all
• 22:09
  of my other friends that
• 22:10
  I've met through this
• 22:11
  process yeah that's when
• 22:14
  I'm looking at the lead
• 22:14
  award that's what I'm
• 22:15
  looking for is people I've
• 22:16
  competed against uh people
• 22:18
  I've met met on instagram
• 22:22
  that you know I I'm
• 22:23
  friendly with or whatever I
• 22:24
  kind of watch those people
• 22:26
  because that's what that's people I know
• 22:28
  know and that's the people I
• 22:29
  would think or uh or not
• 22:30
  think I would know her
• 22:32
  roughly how fit they are
• 22:33
  and have a good at least a
• 22:34
  good grasp on it I would
• 22:37
  say either competing
• 22:39
  against them in person
• 22:42
  online through qualifiers
• 22:43
  that that type of deal uh
• 22:45
  yeah that's the people
• 22:46
  that's people I'm looking
• 22:47
  forward to and then you
• 22:48
  know the people I know jamie and
• 22:53
  good lord, the vast amount of people.
• 22:55
  I'm like, oh, hey, there's that guy.
• 22:57
  Oh, hey,
• 22:57
  there's that guy or that girl or
• 22:59
  whoever it might be.
• 23:01
  What Jamie and Carolyn did
• 23:02
  is absolutely bonkers.
• 23:05
  I don't even know a good way to put it.
• 23:07
  It's bananas freaking crazy.
• 23:11
  I would say some of the
• 23:14
  stuff that Jamie's still doing at her age,
• 23:18
  not that she's old by a
• 23:19
  stretch of the imagination,
• 23:20
  but that girl is fit, dude.
• 23:24
  I don't think people
• 23:25
  understand exactly how fit
• 23:26
  she actually is, but it's a lot.
• 23:30
  When you see that Caroline got a hat trick,
• 23:34
  and she's up against the
• 23:36
  likes of Andrea Nistler and
• 23:38
  Caroline Klutz and Kristen Holta,
• 23:43
  and that she pulled off
• 23:44
  three straight wins.
• 23:45
  Badass, dude.
• 23:49
  Yeah.
• 23:51
  That probably does not get
• 23:52
  enough praise around the space.
• 23:56
  That's an impressive, impressive stat.
• 23:58
  And you got Colton one, one,
• 24:00
  two is mighty impressive as well.
• 24:05
  I thought,
• 24:07
  so as far as Colton is concerned,
• 24:09
  like after he won the second one,
• 24:11
  I was like, okay,
• 24:11
  he's been away in the open,
• 24:12
  but I did not see him.
• 24:15
  doing what he did on the
• 24:17
  last one like I figured
• 24:18
  he'd be in the top ten
• 24:19
  somewhere you know I'm
• 24:21
  saying I have a score safe
• 24:22
  enough for him to win the
• 24:24
  open but not that he was
• 24:26
  going to do that like
• 24:28
  that's that's another one
• 24:31
  dude like that dude is he's sick with it
• 24:34
  Uh,
• 24:36
  so I have a couple of questions about
• 24:37
  this.
• 24:38
  I'm totally off what I had
• 24:39
  planned on talking about today.
• 24:41
  Um, but that's cool.
• 24:45
  Okay.
• 24:45
  So what is on the women's side?
• 24:48
  First of all, Lucy Campbell,
• 24:51
  we talked about her
• 24:52
  comeback after water
• 24:53
  Palooza because of what she
• 24:54
  did there and then back
• 24:56
  that up with a third place
• 24:58
  finish in the open.
• 25:00
  Like that is one cool story.
• 25:04
  Yeah, good on her, man.
• 25:06
  Good on her.
• 25:07
  May not be able to ever lift
• 25:08
  anything again to her
• 25:12
  finishes at Waterpalooza
• 25:14
  and now the Open.
• 25:15
  Should be one of the top
• 25:16
  stories that CrossFit is
• 25:18
  pumping out there going into semis.
• 25:23
  If they're not talking about it,
• 25:24
  if they're not following
• 25:25
  her around or putting something together,
• 25:27
  whatever footage and
• 25:29
  whatnot they have interviews,
• 25:30
  they should be.
• 25:31
  They're missing a huge
• 25:32
  opportunity if they're not.
• 25:34
  Yeah.
• 25:36
  What an amazing comeback story.
• 25:39
  I mean, I know the chills I got, like,
• 25:40
  the year I followed Emily
• 25:41
  after she had the arm
• 25:43
  surgery at the games and getting, like,
• 25:46
  talking to Dr. Rocket and
• 25:47
  all that stuff of what entailed there.
• 25:50
  Like,
• 25:50
  Lucy's injury was maybe not as
• 25:55
  life-threatening,
• 25:55
  but it was way more career-threatening.
• 25:57
  Right.
• 25:59
  Yeah.
• 26:00
  Your back is mostly your body.
• 26:03
  Well, it's your wrist.
• 26:04
  Like, and the surgery, she had to fix it.
• 26:07
  She cut, they shortened her wrist.
• 26:10
  They cut it off.
• 26:15
  I was not aware of that.
• 26:17
  Yeah.
• 26:17
  I knew she was hurt.
• 26:18
  I didn't realize it was to that extent.
• 26:20
  And I got her conflated with,
• 26:24
  what's her name?
• 26:25
  That is still trying to get
• 26:26
  back from the back.
• 26:27
  Okay.
• 26:28
  Yeah, that's insane.
• 26:30
  Yeah.
• 26:30
  And if you watch,
• 26:31
  she did like the
• 26:32
  Frankenstein cleans for a
• 26:35
  while because her wrist was so bad.
• 26:38
  But now she's able to do all the stuff.
• 26:40
  So, yeah.
• 26:42
  But the reason I pulled this
• 26:44
  up is that my question to you is,
• 26:47
  what is more impressive?
• 26:49
  And I think you can argue either way.
• 26:51
  Miriam Von Rohr going one, one,
• 26:53
  twelve or one, one,
• 26:54
  eleven or Fee going three, four, seven.
• 27:02
  I think you can look at it
• 27:03
  either way to be quite
• 27:05
  honest with you um scroll
• 27:06
  back over a little bit let
• 27:07
  me see the times on the on
• 27:09
  the n one so we got eleven
• 27:12
  eleven minutes maram was
• 27:14
  eleven sixteen okay so
• 27:16
  you're talking about
• 27:16
  sixteen seconds separating
• 27:19
  what is that four places is that right
• 27:24
  If it's me, granted,
• 27:26
  nothing taken away from Miriam because,
• 27:29
  I mean, two firsts and then an eleventh.
• 27:31
  But the consistency that Fi
• 27:34
  is putting up with a third, a fourth,
• 27:36
  and a seventh, you know what I mean?
• 27:41
  And most of these tests were motor tests.
• 27:44
  Everybody seems to be in
• 27:44
  agreement as far as that
• 27:46
  because we didn't really
• 27:46
  see anything super heavy.
• 27:48
  Yes, there was more muscle-ups,
• 27:50
  but these are elite of the
• 27:51
  elite of the elite.
• 27:53
  for me fee doing what she
• 27:56
  did and still staying right
• 27:58
  there in that same you know
• 27:59
  because yeah okay you got
• 28:01
  two first and you got an
• 28:02
  eleventh if she was in and
• 28:05
  she still won by how many
• 28:07
  points by one point whereas
• 28:10
  fee got third fourth
• 28:12
  seventh all within that you
• 28:13
  know three top tens
• 28:14
  basically um one top three
• 28:18
  for my money that's that's
• 28:20
  probably edges it out a little bit
• 28:22
  What Miriam did is, I mean, it's,
• 28:26
  I won't say it's unheard of
• 28:27
  because Colton did the same thing,
• 28:28
  but it's until this year,
• 28:30
  it was definitely unheard of.
• 28:33
  I just think that's insane.
• 28:34
  Yeah.
• 28:34
  Right there.
• 28:39
  The other thing I wanted to
• 28:40
  say is if you look at the
• 28:42
  winner of twenty five point three,
• 28:45
  it was Olivia Kerstetter at ten eighteen.
• 28:48
  She was rowing fifty
• 28:49
  calories with the guys.
• 28:54
  I heard Dallin and Hopper and Madera say,
• 28:57
  if she actually got to do
• 28:59
  the forty calories instead
• 29:00
  of the fifty that most
• 29:02
  women get to do in that workout,
• 29:04
  she would have beat Dallin.
• 29:07
  Oh,
• 29:08
  I have no problem believing that
• 29:09
  whatsoever.
• 29:13
  That's insane.
• 29:13
  I would like to know what her, like,
• 29:17
  I like that if she's got it on video,
• 29:19
  I would like to go see that
• 29:20
  just to be able to see, like,
• 29:21
  what she was pulling on the roller.
• 29:24
  know what I'm saying one
• 29:25
  thing we know about olivia
• 29:26
  is she's never met a
• 29:27
  barbell she didn't like
• 29:29
  that is correct that is
• 29:31
  correct she is super strong
• 29:33
  like it's silly I would
• 29:36
  like to see what she was
• 29:37
  rolling and like if she if
• 29:40
  she just got on and just
• 29:42
  you know I'm saying just
• 29:43
  stroke the entire way if
• 29:44
  she had a plan you know
• 29:46
  kind of roll the first five
• 29:48
  calories and then kind of
• 29:49
  you know get settled in and
• 29:50
  then start picking up the pace
• 29:52
  or just if she just blasted
• 29:54
  it the entire time,
• 29:55
  I would really like to be
• 29:56
  able to go and do like a little,
• 29:59
  not a deep dive,
• 30:00
  but a dive on that just to
• 30:01
  see what it was because
• 30:03
  it's a shame or she doesn't
• 30:04
  have a video up.
• 30:05
  Um, but maybe she has a video somewhere.
• 30:08
  Yeah.
• 30:12
  Yeah.
• 30:13
  Um,
• 30:14
  A couple other things.
• 30:17
  We have that tournament challenge,
• 30:18
  NCAA tournament bracket.
• 30:20
  The links are in the

  description of this YouTube,
• 30:24
  and they'll be in the
• 30:25
  description of the audio as well.
• 30:29
  And it's just for fun,
• 30:30
  just to compete against each other.
• 30:33
  I don't watch a ton of
• 30:34
  college basketball anymore, but I thought,
• 30:36
  what the hell?
• 30:37
  It'll give me a reason to
• 30:38
  watch a couple games over
• 30:40
  the next couple weeks to
• 30:42
  see where I'm at and see
• 30:43
  how I compete against my friends.
• 30:46
  and I have no doubt in that
• 30:47
  fight either and then
• 30:51
  whoever wins with the
• 30:53
  highest score between the
• 30:54
  two I will put together a
• 30:55
  prize pack and get out to
• 30:57
  them for winning that so
• 31:01
  nothing to enter all free
• 31:04
  free free just for fun for
• 31:06
  us to kind of have some
• 31:06
  bragging rights and
• 31:08
  something to talk about
• 31:08
  over the next few weeks and
• 31:11
  yeah you might win a prize pack
• 31:14
  sign up people like
• 31:15
  subscribe sign up how you
• 31:16
  like that three things
• 31:18
  three things at once yeah
• 31:18
  there you go uh the last
• 31:21
  question I I wanted to ask
• 31:23
  you uh and get your input
• 31:25
  is are we in a new golden
• 31:27
  age of crossfit yes I have
• 31:32
  I I'm glad you actually
• 31:34
  asked that because I was
• 31:35
  thinking about this the
• 31:36
  other day and I think it
• 31:37
  happens in a lot of sports
• 31:40
  Right.
• 31:41
  Something gets real popular
• 31:42
  for a little while.
• 31:43
  And then something weird happens.
• 31:45
  Doesn't necessarily like,
• 31:46
  it's not necessarily that
• 31:47
  somebody passes away, you know,
• 31:50
  on the field or on the
• 31:51
  court or whatever it is,
• 31:52
  but something happens and
• 31:54
  it takes the shine off of it.
• 31:56
  Right.
• 31:57
  And people start feeling
• 31:58
  some sort of way about it and all,
• 31:59
  it's not like it used to be and blah,
• 32:01
  blah, blah, whatever.
• 32:02
  And it sort of takes a dip
• 32:05
  and then it starts building back up.
• 32:07
  Right.
• 32:11
  Tristan, we'll get to that in a second,
• 32:13
  a new golden age.
• 32:16
  Well, what I would say that that is,
• 32:18
  is that,
• 32:18
  did you know you were in a golden
• 32:19
  age whenever we had rich and, uh,
• 32:25
  Dan Bailey and Josh bridges
• 32:27
  and all of those guys that
• 32:28
  were such larger than life personalities.
• 32:33
  You know what I'm saying?
• 32:35
  Because you look at it back
• 32:35
  at it now and you're like, man,
• 32:37
  That was great times with
• 32:39
  these people who were in this,
• 32:41
  in the space and who were,
• 32:43
  I won't say in your face,
• 32:44
  cause that doesn't sound right,
• 32:45
  but they were alive, if that makes sense.
• 32:48
  And then for a while,
• 32:49
  like once Matt kind of got
• 32:50
  out of it and he was the
• 32:51
  only one like that was really,
• 32:53
  I won't say emotional,
• 32:55
  but you could feel his
• 32:56
  passion while he was on the floor.
• 32:58
  But do you say that's fair?
• 32:59
  You know what I'm saying?
• 33:00
  Like when he comes across the line,
• 33:01
  he was yelling deep on his
• 33:02
  chest and stuff like that.
• 33:04
  And Madero's run two years in a row.
• 33:07
  And one, what, one event, is that right?
• 33:11
  I think that's right.
• 33:14
  And it got it kind of,
• 33:15
  as far as the games
• 33:15
  themselves are concerned,
• 33:16
  it was kind of bland for a little while.
• 33:19
  And then media was going downhill.
• 33:21
  It wasn't any kind of like
• 33:22
  the only content coming out
• 33:23
  was from guys like you and Savan and,
• 33:27
  you know, Pedro and whatnot.
• 33:28
  And then that started
• 33:29
  building things back up.
• 33:31
  And then right now I would
• 33:33
  say right now here in this moment,
• 33:37
  The media team for the games is on fire.
• 33:41
  They are pumping out excellent content,
• 33:44
  like the little promo videos,
• 33:45
  the open announcements
• 33:47
  themselves were top notch
• 33:50
  as far as I'm concerned.
• 33:52
  They chose the right people.
• 33:54
  They had them in the right places.
• 33:56
  Everybody that you've heard
• 33:57
  speak about who was at the
• 33:58
  announcement said the
• 34:00
  atmosphere was electric the entire time.
• 34:03
  People fired up as far as
• 34:04
  that's concerned.
• 34:05
  They're pumping out regular content,
• 34:07
  not games related as well.
• 34:09
  Stuff about affiliates and a
• 34:12
  couple of personal stories
• 34:13
  and stuff like that, which again,
• 34:15
  hadn't happened for years.
• 34:18
  Right.
• 34:19
  So yeah, I would say,
• 34:21
  I don't know if we're necessarily in it,
• 34:23
  but I feel like we're,
• 34:24
  we're pushing back towards
• 34:26
  that because now we got
• 34:28
  like the Dallin and Jason and Justin and,
• 34:32
  you know,
• 34:33
  that are all Colton super competitive.
• 34:36
  Colton Colton's amazing, dude.
• 34:38
  Um,
• 34:38
  super competitive poking at each other
• 34:40
  the entire time talking shit, uh, Oh, and,
• 34:45
  or, or backing it up.
• 34:46
  Right.
• 34:47
  I mean,
• 34:48
  They're going head to head, toe to toe,
• 34:49
  and there's not anybody
• 34:51
  that you can see anyway
• 34:52
  that's better than them in
• 34:53
  the space right now.
• 34:55
  So I'm glad you answered
• 34:56
  that way because here's my counterpoint.
• 35:01
  In the golden age we had before,
• 35:04
  everybody mentions the Rich
• 35:05
  and the Dan and the Josh
• 35:07
  and the Matt Chan and all that stuff,
• 35:09
  right?
• 35:10
  Yeah.
• 35:10
  But everybody forgets to
• 35:12
  mention Annie and Camille
• 35:14
  and Sam Briggs and Lindsay
• 35:15
  Valenzuela and...
• 35:18
  to Elena Fortunato and all
• 35:20
  in that golden age of women
• 35:22
  at the same time.
• 35:23
  Yep.
• 35:26
  I think the guys are
• 35:28
  starting to get it in this
• 35:29
  era by producing their own
• 35:32
  media content and using
• 35:35
  other third party media opportunities, uh,
• 35:39
  to build, uh,
• 35:41
  a storyline for them so I
• 35:45
  think the guys are starting
• 35:46
  to get it and that we're
• 35:47
  moving into a new golden
• 35:49
  era of men but I think that
• 35:52
  the women are so private
• 35:55
  and competitive with
• 35:57
  everything they're doing
• 35:57
  we're not seeing their
• 36:00
  journey through the process
• 36:01
  like the men are allowing us to see
• 36:05
  Does that make sense?
• 36:05
  A hundred percent.
• 36:07
  Like Dallin and Jason and
• 36:10
  them are not afraid to post
• 36:11
  a score and say, Hey, this is what I did.
• 36:15
  Come get it.
• 36:15
  If you can.
• 36:16
  Yeah.
• 36:17
  Come get me.
• 36:17
  Come get some.
• 36:18
  Right.
• 36:18
  And they're willing to do it
• 36:19
  live on air to do that.
• 36:22
  I think the other thing that
• 36:23
  men have this time that
• 36:25
  they didn't in the previous
• 36:26
  golden era is they have a heel.
• 36:30
  I think Hopper is becoming the heel.
• 36:35
  And if you follow wrestling at all,
• 36:37
  a good heel makes the
• 36:38
  storyline ten times better.
• 36:41
  Yeah, absolutely.
• 36:43
  He is the person that no
• 36:45
  matter what he says, people dog him,
• 36:48
  people come after him.
• 36:51
  And I think that makes that
• 36:53
  storyline really, really, really,
• 36:57
  really good.
• 36:58
  Yeah.
• 36:59
  Yeah.
• 37:00
  You're right.
• 37:01
  What he can say,
• 37:01
  it doesn't matter what he says.
• 37:03
  Like he could go out and be like,
• 37:04
  the sky is blue and be like,
• 37:05
  did you hear Jason Hopper
• 37:06
  said the sky was blue?
• 37:08
  Well,
• 37:08
  and he's really good at when he like
• 37:10
  does a dig, he does,
• 37:12
  he can do it with a
• 37:12
  straight face where the
• 37:14
  other guys just laugh at
• 37:15
  themselves or right.
• 37:18
  And he will do it with a
• 37:18
  straight face to like,
• 37:19
  sell it more like a heel
• 37:21
  wooden wrestling.
• 37:25
  And Jeff, Jeffrey Birchfield said,
• 37:26
  is a heel different than a villain?
• 37:28
  Yes.
• 37:30
  Think of it as the antagonist in a story.
• 37:35
  He is that counter to the golden boy,
• 37:39
  Dallin Pepper,
• 37:39
  with the nice hair and the good values.
• 37:45
  And you look at James Sprague,
• 37:47
  very wholesome, young kid growing up.
• 37:51
  And Jason,
• 37:53
  while he has a lot of the same values,
• 37:56
  his digs can cut deeper.
• 38:00
  And it moves the storyline along.
• 38:03
  I would almost say he plays their game,
• 38:09
  that part, better than the others.
• 38:12
  He's better at doing that kind of stuff.
• 38:14
  He is probably the best one
• 38:17
  at talking shit because he will do it,
• 38:19
  like you said, with a straight face.
• 38:22
  And it sounds like he believes it.
• 38:27
  So take the instance during
• 38:28
  kill Taylor Colton, you do this.
• 38:30
  I'm telling everybody what your score was.
• 38:33
  Yeah.
• 38:33
  Like that cuts deeper than just like, Hey,
• 38:37
  you're short and you can't row.
• 38:39
  Like, you know what I mean?
• 38:41
  Like, like he's getting personal.
• 38:44
  Like I'm going to reveal something.
• 38:45
  You don't want me to reveal.
• 38:48
  If you go ahead with this,
• 38:50
  like he wanted that cash too.
• 38:52
  Like the heel wanted it.
• 38:53
  Yeah.
• 38:55
  Like, I'm going to give it to the kids.
• 38:58
  I'm going to donate the money.
• 39:00
  And Jason's like,
• 39:02
  you need to not do this so I get my cash.
• 39:08
  The one that he won where he just,
• 39:11
  he still had fifteen seconds left,
• 39:13
  twenty seconds left,
• 39:13
  whatever that one was,
• 39:15
  and he just got off the
• 39:15
  bike because he was like,
• 39:16
  nobody's beating that.
• 39:21
  Yeah.
• 39:22
  It's a
• 39:24
  Some people probably think
• 39:25
  it comes off as arrogant.
• 39:28
  He does the more eccentric
• 39:30
  celebrations when he wins an event.
• 39:34
  He has the showman aspect, the cocky,
• 39:38
  arrogant, pound the chest.
• 39:42
  I guess Josh Bridges might
• 39:43
  have been the heel back in the day.
• 39:47
  But you can be a likable heel.
• 39:50
  Yeah, everybody loves Josh Bridges.
• 39:51
  Right.
• 39:52
  It doesn't mean that people
• 39:53
  hate you or that you're bad.
• 39:55
  You're just the antagonist
• 39:57
  that moves the story forward.
• 39:59
  Josh Bridges was this little
• 40:00
  guy that had no business
• 40:01
  beating Rich Froning in anything,
• 40:03
  yet he could.
• 40:05
  Yeah.
• 40:06
  And when he did, he let you know he did.
• 40:09
  Well, when he won Murph,
• 40:13
  he called his shot before
• 40:14
  he got out on the field.
• 40:18
  Like, I'm winning this.
• 40:20
  Like, y'all can do whatever y'all want.
• 40:21
  I'm winning this.
• 40:21
  And he was ahead by a lot, a lot.
• 40:25
  Like,
• 40:25
  when he took off from his last set of
• 40:28
  air squats and he took out,
• 40:29
  he was out the stadium, I think,
• 40:30
  before he went to second
• 40:31
  place when he even got off the field.
• 40:34
  Came back in and watching a
• 40:36
  Josh Bridges celebration is
• 40:39
  almost like it's a
• 40:40
  religious experience at this point,
• 40:42
  right?
• 40:43
  I mean, you could feel it through him.
• 40:44
  And I think, yeah,
• 40:46
  same type thing is going on
• 40:48
  with old Jason there.
• 40:51
  I agree with Tristan,
• 40:52
  who is arguing with Kenneth
• 40:53
  at this point.
• 40:55
  Rich was never the heel.
• 40:57
  He was so beloved by everybody.
• 41:00
  You couldn't even make him
• 41:01
  the heel if you wanted to.
• 41:03
  No.
• 41:03
  No.
• 41:05
  And then he would just come
• 41:08
  out on Sunday and just win
• 41:10
  everything just because he was like, oh,
• 41:11
  it's time for me to win everything.
• 41:14
  And people still were like, oh,
• 41:15
  look at him.
• 41:16
  He's just out there winning.
• 41:17
  Yeah.
• 41:21
  Like Jason's the heel in a
• 41:22
  way where the other two are
• 41:24
  talking about how rich is the goat.
• 41:26
  And he's like, the hell he is.
• 41:28
  Matt's the goat.
• 41:29
  Like he's going to be the
• 41:31
  counter to whatever the others say.
• 41:34
  No matter if it's right or wrong.
• 41:36
  Right.
• 41:40
  Yeah.
• 41:41
  Oh.
• 41:44
  But Stone Cold did.
• 41:46
  He was the antagonist a lot.
• 41:52
  So I remember watching Stone
• 41:54
  Cold drive into the stadium in his truck,
• 42:01
  get out with a six-pack of tall boys,
• 42:04
  stand on the roof of the
• 42:06
  truck because somebody was
• 42:07
  in the ring talking about him,
• 42:08
  and he just sat there
• 42:09
  drinking a beer looking at him.
• 42:10
  Yeah.
• 42:11
  Like,
• 42:12
  that's the kind of behavior we're
• 42:13
  talking about.
• 42:14
  Like, that's the kind of,
• 42:16
  if Jason Hopper drank,
• 42:18
  he would probably do some shit like that.
• 42:19
  Like, oh, all right, we just talking shit?
• 42:21
  Okay, cool.
• 42:22
  Uh,
• 42:22
  train to lift says Matt was more of a
• 42:24
  heel than rich.
• 42:25
  Matt was an awesome heel career.
• 42:29
  Go back and watch the behind
• 42:30
  the scenes of and when Matt took second,
• 42:37
  he was every bit the heel.
• 42:40
  He wanted all that smoke.
• 42:44
  When they asked him in one
• 42:45
  of the behind the scenes,
• 42:47
  when they asked him if it
• 42:48
  was worth it and he said, turn, I said,
• 42:49
  did I win?
• 42:52
  Oh, okay.
• 42:53
  So I guess not.
• 43:00
  Hopper's heel era started
• 43:02
  after he won the handstand
• 43:03
  walk at syndicate,
• 43:04
  then did the cigarette celebration.
• 43:06
  Yes.
• 43:07
  Yes.
• 43:07
  That's exactly what was in
• 43:08
  my head when I was thinking Hopper,
• 43:11
  the heel,
• 43:12
  those types of celebrations are
• 43:14
  just different.
• 43:15
  A hundred percent.
• 43:18
  A hundred percent.
• 43:19
  I'm here for it too, dude.
• 43:20
  Like me, like,
• 43:21
  Yeah.
• 43:22
  We're seeing it for years.
• 43:23
  We need somebody like that.
• 43:25
  Yeah.
• 43:25
  Charlie and I have argued
• 43:26
  that on the round table
• 43:27
  since this podcast has been
• 43:29
  around that the sport needed a heel.
• 43:33
  Absolutely.
• 43:34
  And we thought Ricky was it.
• 43:35
  And then he popped.
• 43:36
  Then, you know,
• 43:37
  like we thought there were
• 43:39
  candidates and none of them have held up.
• 43:41
  Hopper's got the fitness
• 43:43
  behind him to be good
• 43:44
  enough to be the heel.
• 43:48
  I don't know if
• 43:53
  Talking about Ricky,
• 43:54
  I don't know if he never
• 43:56
  would have popped if he had
• 43:58
  got to that status.
• 44:00
  Does that make sense?
• 44:01
  I think the only reason
• 44:02
  people started thinking
• 44:03
  that was because he popped
• 44:05
  and because he was still
• 44:06
  doing the open workouts and
• 44:08
  screwing up the camera,
• 44:09
  beat that and whatnot.
• 44:13
  I was at that game.
• 44:15
  He was cocky.
• 44:16
  He was brash.
• 44:18
  He was letting everybody
• 44:19
  know at that game's.
• 44:23
  Okay, I did not know that.
• 44:24
  He was becoming the heel
• 44:25
  during that games.
• 44:27
  That is different.
• 44:28
  I had a front row seat to that.
• 44:31
  I hated him by Sunday.
• 44:33
  And that was before he ever
• 44:36
  popped and did any of the other stuff.
• 44:38
  Yeah, because nobody knew for...
• 44:40
  Now, I would say the comeback,
• 44:42
  he had to fix that image to
• 44:45
  be accepted back into the community.
• 44:47
  And he's done an amazing job of that.
• 44:49
  But the young Ricky in two
• 44:51
  thousand seventeen, every bit the heel.
• 44:53
  Yeah.
• 44:55
  No, because everybody loves that dude now.
• 44:57
  Yeah.
• 44:58
  Everybody.
• 44:59
  I was one of those ones when
• 45:00
  he when his band first came up as being,
• 45:03
  you know.
• 45:04
  or was first,
• 45:05
  he was going to be able to compete again.
• 45:06
  I was one of the people that was like,
• 45:08
  okay, whatever.
• 45:08
  I'm a steroid boy, whatever.
• 45:10
  But kudos to him.
• 45:14
  He turned it around
• 45:15
  completely because now everybody's like,
• 45:16
  yay, Ricky Mack.
• 45:17
  Love that guy.
• 45:20
  And that was not a thing beforehand.
• 45:23
  I think Kenneth makes a good point.
• 45:24
  Roman would have been the ultimate heel.
• 45:26
  I think he could have been.
• 45:27
  The problem is he got
• 45:28
  delayed so long in actually
• 45:30
  getting to compete over
• 45:31
  here that by the time he did,
• 45:34
  he was at that age where
• 45:35
  injury started to take over
• 45:37
  and other things.
• 45:39
  He would have been good
• 45:41
  because he would have had
• 45:41
  the fitness to back it up.
• 45:44
  And what's happened now is I think...
• 45:48
  And I kind of hope I'm wrong.
• 45:51
  I think that he has been
• 45:52
  hurt so much that his
• 45:54
  fitness has decreased.
• 45:56
  He just can't train like he
• 45:57
  could back before he got
• 46:01
  admitted into the U.S.
• 46:04
  I am curious to see what
• 46:05
  he's going to do for
• 46:06
  semifinals at this point.
• 46:08
  Like just judging off of
• 46:09
  what I've seen from him from the open.
• 46:12
  see you know what I'm saying
• 46:13
  like I think you're correct
• 46:15
  I'm curious to see how much
• 46:17
  he's either falling off or
• 46:18
  if we're just not peaking
• 46:19
  right now if you remember
• 46:21
  he was competitive last
• 46:22
  year's semifinals it was
• 46:24
  him hopper and pepper and
• 46:27
  adler in the in the east um
• 46:29
  and that was a very
• 46:30
  competitive matchup with
• 46:32
  those four it's the games
• 46:34
  he just he broke down yeah
• 46:37
  which was a weird games
• 46:38
  anyway and it's hard to put
• 46:39
  much on it but
• 46:40
  yeah that's why I don't and
• 46:44
  not to take anything away
• 46:45
  from from spray being the
• 46:47
  champ but like every time
• 46:48
  somebody says something
• 46:48
  about how somebody
• 46:49
  performed last year okay
• 46:51
  yeah but it was also very
• 46:54
  weird games games to begin
• 46:56
  like probably the strangest
• 46:58
  one that's ever taken place
• 46:59
  um so as far as that goes
• 47:03
  well I'm already late back
• 47:05
  from my lunch hour so
• 47:09
  The rest of you hooligans
• 47:10
  get back to work.
• 47:11
  We're done here.
• 47:12

• 47:15
  Clydesdale Lunch.
• 47:16
  Lunch with the Clydesdale.
• 47:18

• 47:18
