Beautiful.
1:00
So I know we try to have a
1:03
lot of fun on this show.
1:05
We try.
1:06
But it is the twenty fifth anniversary of
1:09
nine eleven.
1:10
And I would be remiss.
1:12
We're going to do I'm going to talk
1:13
about it briefly.
1:14
Yep.
1:15
Because and then we're going to move on
1:17
to have some fun and give you an
1:19
escape for the day.
1:20
But yeah, nine eleven impacted us.
1:23
me and what i believe this country greatly
1:26
twenty five years ago uh my daughter was
1:29
six weeks old when nine eleven happened it
1:32
was the first week at a babysitter for
1:35
her my my wife's first week back to
1:38
work when everything happened um my
1:44
immediate reaction was how do i get to
1:46
my kid right and and hold her right
1:52
and uh thankfully the company i worked for
1:57
let us go that morning and uh i
2:02
went way too fast down the freeway to
2:05
the babysitter to get my kid and to
2:08
get her home regretfully my wife's company
2:10
did not let them go and my wife
2:13
was freaking out almost the entire day
2:16
But I had my daughter at home,
2:19
snuggled her, held her, did all the stuff.
2:24
I still have nightmares about what I saw
2:27
that day.
2:32
I could still see the pictures from the
2:35
news channels.
2:37
Like it's clear as day in my head.
2:38
Like, like it happened yesterday.
2:40
I saw,
2:42
I just brought my oldest to school,
2:44
dropped her off for schools right across
2:46
the body from where we live,
2:47
dropped her off at school in the car
2:49
line, got back.
2:51
And as I got back, um,
2:55
uh michelle had it on tv and the
2:58
second plane at the tower and i just
3:00
remember saying they were talking to
3:01
somebody who was in an adjacent building
3:04
whichever news channel she had it on and
3:05
the guy said oh my god there's another
3:07
one and it hit i'll never forget that
3:10
as long as i live i will i
3:16
Watching people jump from a hundred
3:18
stories up to avoid flames is a horror
3:21
that I cannot get out of my head
3:24
and I cannot unsee.
3:26
And it's something you don't ever want to
3:28
have to comprehend, right?
3:30
To have to make that choice.
3:32
And right now, I want to cry.
3:34
It's twenty-five years later,
3:36
and I want to cry for those people.
3:42
What I hate about this day is the
3:44
people trying to spin their conspiracy
3:47
theories today.
3:48
You've got three hundred and sixty-four
3:50
other days of the year to do that.
3:51
yeah let it ride people let it ride
3:54
today there were there were there were men
3:57
and women running toward danger that day
4:01
it's another thing that i can't comprehend
4:03
in my own world but i'm so glad
4:06
those people exist in my life yeah and
4:10
the fact that they ran what i would
4:13
consider the wrong way right to do
4:17
whatever they could to save as many people
4:19
as they could
4:23
that is something we should never ever
4:25
forget that there are people in this world
4:27
that run into the danger to save lives.
4:33
And that is pretty freaking cool.
4:36
God bless them.
4:38
I hope there's a special place in heaven
4:40
for each and every one of them with
4:42
what happened that day.
4:44
But we lost a lot of people.
4:45
We had a,
4:46
we had a person at my old gym
4:47
whose dad was in the tower that day.
4:51
and you know he tells the stories and
4:53
it is it's tough man and uh i
4:59
just want to give a second to commend
5:02
the people that did the brave things that
5:05
day um and i wish i wish on
5:11
september twelfth there was no
5:12
divisiveness in this country and i wish we
5:16
could get back to something like that
5:19
I think it's a hope and a prayer
5:21
more than a wish.
5:22
Yeah.
5:23
Every day I wish that I remember what
5:25
September twelfth was like.
5:28
And it was as tragic as the rest
5:31
of it was.
5:32
Those couple of days as a citizen of
5:35
this fantastic country that we live in was
5:38
it was amazing time to be alive.
5:41
Everybody had everybody's back.
5:42
It was amazing.
5:44
No matter what you needed.
5:48
You know, I grew up outside of Pittsburgh.
5:51
There's a memorial right outside of
5:53
Pittsburgh for a plane that went down
5:54
there that sometimes gets forgotten.
5:59
But it lost their lives that day.
6:03
Yeah.
6:05
We don't know where that plane was truly
6:06
heading.
6:08
We can make assumptions,
6:09
but there were brave men and women on
6:12
that plane that ran to danger too.
6:16
Ran right into it.
6:19
Quite literally ran right into it,
6:20
knew it, knowing it, it was a,
6:23
it was an un, unwinnable situation,
6:27
no matter what was going to happen,
6:28
but they tried anyway.
6:29
So I,
6:30
and who knows how many lives that saved.
6:33
Correct.
6:35
so with that our heartfelt thoughts in
6:39
person the family and the friends of of
6:42
people that not only died that day but
6:44
died from the effects of that day in
6:47
later years um it was a traumatic event
6:51
i will never forget it it will be
6:53
with me till the day i die and
6:56
um
6:58
And so this isn't a celebration,
7:00
this is a honoring of the people who
7:02
did the right thing that day.
7:05
When a couple people did the wrong thing.
7:12
Trent says, I was a freshman in college,
7:14
like day two in New York City,
7:16
and I could see smoke from the towers.
7:17
Can't even explain how that affected me
7:19
since that day.
7:22
I would say I know a part of
7:23
it there, Winter,
7:24
being as how you are now the police.
7:27
Yeah.
7:28
Shannon was supposed to fly to Laos on
7:31
the thirteenth to volunteer for a year.
7:33
Ended up leaving on the eighteenth.
7:36
Yeah.
7:37
My wife and I went to a Chicago
7:38
Bears game a month later.
7:41
There were like six people on our plane.
7:43
Yeah.
7:44
Oh, I'll bet.
7:46
I'll bet.
7:47
It was a weird and wild time, dude.
7:51
And just like you couldn't even bring a
7:53
car within a mile of Soldier Field.
7:56
They had it barricaded off because there
7:59
was so much like fear of what was
8:02
next.
8:03
Well,
8:04
everybody was waiting for the next shooter
8:05
drop,
8:06
like something else to happen directly
8:07
after that.
8:08
Right.
8:09
And just waiting and waiting and waiting.
8:10
I remember that being on edge like that
8:12
for months and months before people
8:16
finally started to kind of relax a little
8:17
bit.
8:19
I remember that time well.
8:23
Wayne has lots of friends who were at
8:24
the Pentagon that day,
8:25
still haunts many of them to this day.
8:27
I can't even imagine.
8:29
I mean, I watched it on TV.
8:31
I listened to Howard Stern that day
8:33
because he literally was looking at it as
8:37
it happened.
8:40
And a man who doesn't take many things
8:43
seriously became a serious journalist that
8:47
day.
8:48
And it was wild.
8:51
My ex-wife had went around from probably
8:56
the thirteenth through the fifteenth or
8:58
sixteenth and just took pictures around
9:00
where we lived of the unimaginable amount
9:05
of American flags that were on everything
9:08
that people just put up everywhere,
9:09
just says, you know,
9:10
show support as much as much as they
9:12
could.
9:12
It was an amazing time to be to
9:15
be alive at that point.
9:18
George Wang had a brother who worked near
9:20
the World Trade Center,
9:21
didn't get word from him until late
9:22
afternoon.
9:23
I know people were holding their breath as
9:27
to what happened that day.
9:29
But again,
9:30
I don't want this whole show to be
9:31
about this because this is supposed to be
9:32
the break from your stressful day,
9:35
the break from your special day or your
9:39
work day, whatever.
9:40
But it wouldn't feel genuine if we didn't
9:43
at least mention it.
9:45
No, we can't just skip over it.
9:48
I just got to skip over it.
9:49
But there's lots of shows doing a lot
9:51
of things today about it.
9:54
Even like ESPN did some nice tributes this
9:57
morning as they film a bunch of their
9:59
shows in New York City and they are
10:02
so close.
10:03
I got to watch some of those this
10:04
morning and they did a really nice job
10:06
with that.
10:07
Good on them.
10:11
One of the worst things is that
10:13
self-service was jammed and so you
10:15
couldn't even try to see if people were
10:16
okay.
10:18
I know.
10:20
It's crazy.
10:23
Last thing I'm going to say is like
10:25
when I got to my daughter and we
10:26
were driving home,
10:27
I had a Jeep at the time.
10:29
No top.
10:32
You don't realize how many planes are in
10:34
the air that you don't notice every day
10:37
until they're not there.
10:38
Until they're not there.
10:39
Yeah.
10:41
Yeah, it was.
10:43
Yeah.
10:44
That was like a very ominous type thing
10:47
that happened.
10:48
It's a similar feeling.
10:50
So right after a hurricane passes,
10:54
there's no birds flying at all.
10:58
And you don't realize it,
11:00
how accustomed you are to the noise until
11:02
there's none.
11:03
It is so bizarre, dude.
11:05
It's like this quiet still,
11:07
like the quiet after the storm.
11:08
That's probably where that came from.
11:10
Yeah, you just go in.
11:13
what's happening right now it's bizarre
11:16
but yeah same thing you don't realize how
11:18
many planes actually fly over you on a
11:20
regular basis until there's none in the
11:21
sky whatsoever uh shana lived next to an
11:27
airport the silence was so loud dude i
11:30
can't even imagine um so let's get into
11:36
a couple fun things um yeah please
11:45
Oh, my gosh.
11:46
Ramirez.
11:47
I'm going to show you.
11:48
I'm going to text him later.
11:50
I'm going to text him later.
11:51
Don't even worry about it.
11:52
I'm going to spam him with a bunch
11:53
of bullshit.
11:54
He's one of the ones that texted me
11:56
yesterday.
11:57
That was three minutes of our pre-show.
12:01
Oh, my gosh.
12:05
When we left the Pentagon this morning,
12:07
I looked up at the plane that was
12:09
taking off, and it was a flag plane.
12:12
It was so patriotic.
12:13
It was nice,
12:15
but sad at the same time.
12:16
Well, yeah, because you know why.
12:19
Yeah.
12:23
So,
12:23
Waterpalooza has announced two of the four
12:25
full teams now.
12:27
Dun, dun, dun.
12:30
The Battle of the Camps.
12:33
If that's something you...
12:36
care about um here is the proven team
12:40
and i don't know if you can see
12:41
it all it's pretty much what we predicted
12:43
oh no it's exactly who we thought it
12:46
was it's olivia kerstetter it is colton
12:49
mertens it is ricky gerard it is kyra
12:52
milligan it is maddie sturt and jay crouch
12:56
that's exactly that is exactly who we
13:00
predicted
13:03
In addition,
13:04
they just announced the Brute team.
13:06
This one does have some surprises.
13:10
So everybody was dogging Sprague from not
13:12
making the team.
13:13
There he is.
13:15
We have Emma Lawson.
13:16
We have James Sprague.
13:16
We have Jason Hopper.
13:17
And we have Dallin Pepper.
13:18
Those, I think we all kind of knew.
13:21
Yeah.
13:22
Did we know Janie Chevrie?
13:24
No,
13:25
I would not have guessed Janie Shevery.
13:27
She was not going to be on my
13:28
roster.
13:29
Did we know Eileen Wurz?
13:31
No.
13:32
Also would not have been on my roster.
13:35
So, yeah.
13:37
Was a little surprised about those two,
13:39
but, hey, good on them, man.
13:41
Hey, more power to them.
13:43
More power to them.
13:44
You know, Jane just missed the games.
13:46
Yep.
13:48
and i think oh yeah well no she
13:51
got in didn't she did she get in
13:52
on the last chance janie yeah uh is
13:57
that who made the last chance i think
13:59
that i think that might be gosh it
14:00
just was like um six weeks ago dude
14:02
yeah well aware where uh
14:07
Joseph said they're going to get to talk
14:08
to her live tonight on Dick Linton Things.
14:11
Which one?
14:12
Eileen or Janie?
14:14
I think Janie.
14:16
Okay.
14:16
Ramirez, correct me if I'm wrong,
14:18
but I think Janie's coming on tonight,
14:20
correct?
14:22
When he says she was.
14:23
Yeah, she was at the games.
14:24
It's all coming back to me now.
14:25
I think Celine Dion told me that.
14:27
But it's all coming back.
14:32
Dude.
14:34
But regardless,
14:34
back to the point I was trying to
14:36
make is that this is a great opportunity
14:38
for both Janie and Eileen.
14:40
Eileen, Eileen.
14:41
Come on, Eileen.
14:43
Let's go to Waza in South Carolina.
14:46
Yep.
14:47
Sorry.
14:47
Because it will give them an opportunity
14:52
on a big stage to get some experience.
14:55
Get some experience.
14:56
Get some more exposure.
14:59
And honestly,
15:00
and this is going to sound so freaking
15:03
participatory, but have some fun.
15:07
Because this competition, traditionally,
15:11
unless you're on Danielle Brandon's team
15:13
and she screams at you while doing worm
15:16
thrusters, they have a good time.
15:21
I want to pose this question because I
15:23
kind of
15:25
I kind of disagree.
15:27
Every team partner competition I've ever
15:30
done, the pressure on me was much,
15:34
much greater.
15:35
Yeah, I see that to a point.
15:38
Now,
15:39
after each workout and in between the
15:42
workouts, blast.
15:44
Hanging out with my best friends in the
15:45
world.
15:46
Loved every minute of it.
15:48
That moment on the floor,
15:49
I was even more...
15:53
I was afraid of letting people down.
15:55
Yeah.
15:56
So in twenty four, I did beach brawl.
15:58
I did individual on Saturday and we did
16:00
team on Sunday.
16:02
And I mean,
16:04
I want to do well doing individual,
16:06
but I really didn't care that much because
16:08
I just didn't want to leave my teammates
16:09
down the next day.
16:10
Like that was my biggest thing.
16:12
And I even told Bernard that one of
16:13
my best friends in the world who was
16:15
also on my team,
16:15
cause he was yelling at me the day
16:16
before about what I was doing on the
16:19
lift.
16:19
And I said, I don't give a damn.
16:22
I really, really don't.
16:25
I just found out I qualify for legends
16:27
and I'm,
16:28
and we're competing team tomorrow.
16:30
I'm doing this because it's fun.
16:35
Um, yeah, I, I,
16:37
I probably PR'd more things in a team
16:40
competition than I ever have doing it on
16:42
my own.
16:44
It's a different animal.
16:46
Anybody who's competed on any kind of team
16:49
at any kind of level will understand this
16:50
if you've done it more than once.
16:52
It is a different animal because,
16:54
first of all,
16:55
you're not working for that long at a
16:57
time, right?
16:57
You're generally going in small,
16:59
short sprints unless you have some
17:02
high-level thing where you get a big,
17:03
long team run or whatever,
17:04
which is not the majority of them.
17:07
You're working in short bursts and short
17:08
sprints.
17:09
and you're going to get up whether you
17:11
want to or not and just push as
17:13
hard as you possibly can because you don't
17:16
want to let the guys down next to
17:17
you end of story yep when that when
17:23
the when crossfit used the team series
17:25
which was my favorite event of the year
17:31
i it i i literally threw up for
17:34
a year
17:35
going so hard yeah it's the only time
17:38
i threw up like i literally would do
17:40
workouts and run out the back door and
17:42
heave after every event because i was so
17:46
anxious about letting my team down sure
17:49
because every year i would put myself on
17:51
a team where i was the least fit
17:53
right right so if anybody's gonna let him
17:57
down it was gonna be me and i
18:00
didn't want to be that that guy
18:03
Well, and you don't even,
18:04
it's not even that you don't want to
18:05
let them down.
18:05
You don't want them to think that you're
18:07
doing any less than your absolute max
18:10
every single time,
18:12
whether you are actually letting them
18:13
down.
18:14
Because if they're your friends,
18:15
they know damn good and well that you're
18:16
not trying, right?
18:19
But in your head, you're like, well,
18:21
I got to go.
18:21
I got to go.
18:22
I got to push it to one hundred
18:23
and fifteen,
18:24
one hundred and twenty five percent of
18:25
what I actually have,
18:26
because they're going to think I'm just
18:28
I'm just over here just dicking around.
18:30
I've got to show them I'm not dicking
18:31
around like it's a.
18:33
it's a mind dude that that on that
18:35
part of it well and I should have
18:36
told myself they wouldn't have picked me
18:39
yeah if they didn't like we work out
18:41
together every single day like they know
18:43
what my capabilities are yeah it wasn't
18:45
like they walked Scott walked in the gym
18:47
was like that guy right just randomly yeah
18:54
yeah no no we want that guy
18:58
Yeah.
18:58
So in other Brute news,
19:00
I don't know if you saw this,
19:01
but they announced the new members of
19:03
their team.
19:04
Now,
19:05
some of these I heard at WFP because
19:08
they competed at WFP and they announced
19:10
that they had moved over to Brute.
19:13
But Brute has released this,
19:16
and now we officially know all the new
19:19
roster.
19:20
And there's a big surprise on the last
19:21
slide.
19:23
Yes, we got Jack.
19:25
Not a shock.
19:26
Emma's already a brute athlete.
19:28
Now he's officially with her.
19:30
Yep.
19:30
Um, we have, uh, Jennifer Muir, uh,
19:39
up and comer doing really well.
19:40
Yep.
19:41
Uh,
19:41
we have Luca Jukic that was announced at
19:44
WFP.
19:46
Again, unsurprising.
19:48
Uh, Louisa Marquez.
19:52
I said Brazilian, right?
19:55
sure uh kike survey uh we have yep
20:07
yep we got her yeah norja bleaker
20:15
I know that is not the pronunciation.
20:17
I heard it like eight times at WFP,
20:20
and there's no way.
20:21
I feel like the sweet chef would probably
20:23
pronounce it a whole lot better.
20:24
It's probably how that goes.
20:31
And if not, you know, it is now.
20:38
Then we have Blair Cheney.
20:42
I have no idea who that is,
20:43
but okay.
20:46
And here's the big one.
20:47
Someone that has always announced that she
20:51
was going to stick with her coach that
20:53
has been coaching her at her local
20:55
affiliate, and that is Reese Littlewood.
20:59
Reese Littlewood.
21:02
That is her going to Brute.
21:05
That's Ortega's girl right there.
21:07
I'm telling you, she's my girl.
21:09
Like she's been on the show.
21:11
She is freaking awesome.
21:14
Her going to brute.
21:15
She's, she's someone to watch.
21:20
I,
21:20
I call it now in my way to
21:23
early prediction.
21:24
She will make the games next year.
21:27
I think this, this is a,
21:28
this is going to be the catalyst right
21:29
here.
21:30
Going to brute.
21:30
I mean, come on.
21:32
Their track record at this point.
21:36
That's the reason.
21:40
She's already shown the talent in all the
21:42
gymnastic stuff.
21:45
I mean, let's be honest.
21:46
I'm forty nine years old.
21:47
I could be like, I'm going to brood.
21:48
People are like, well,
21:49
he might make the games next year.
21:53
Based on that track record alone.
21:55
I mean, good Lord.
21:56
You add some strength to her.
22:01
And she's already she's already.
22:05
a danielle danielle level handstand walker
22:11
she's great at gymnastics joseph she's too
22:18
young for me to be making those jokes
22:20
dude yeah when i give her two more
22:23
years two more years and then we'll start
22:24
making those jokes about her uh
22:31
She's ready for the next level.
22:32
She is.
22:34
She was my underdog this year because I
22:37
watched her at Syndicate two years ago,
22:40
and she blew me away.
22:41
Yeah.
22:45
She is right on the cusp anyway.
22:48
Bubble athletes are my favorite athletes
22:50
because I'm also a bubble athlete,
22:51
so I'm kind of biased as far as
22:52
that's concerned,
22:53
but I love bubble athletes.
22:56
I'm telling you,
22:57
her plus brute equals no longer bubble
23:00
athlete.
23:01
So here's why I'll say that.
23:04
Bubble athletes, there's more story there.
23:08
Will they make it?
23:08
Won't they make it?
23:09
What are they doing?
23:10
Instead of the guys that are like, oh,
23:11
I've been in, yeah,
23:12
I made it the past five years and
23:14
I finished thirteenth every single time.
23:16
Like, okay, cool.
23:17
Nobody cares who you are.
23:18
Sorry.
23:19
It's just a thing.
23:19
Like, you're not moving up.
23:20
You're not moving back.
23:21
You're just kind of staying right there.
23:24
People at the very top...
23:25
that are fighting for podium positions,
23:28
the people who are on that bubble and
23:30
are trying to actively make it,
23:33
in my opinion,
23:34
is two of the best stories you could
23:35
possibly tell.
23:37
When she's asked, like,
23:39
you didn't make the games.
23:40
How upset are you?
23:41
And she says, you know what?
23:42
I'm only nineteen years old.
23:44
I've got a lot of runway and this
23:47
is where I'm supposed to be right now.
23:49
That's an elite mindset.
23:50
Nineteen year old has that comprehension
23:54
of patience and like none.
23:59
The limit does not exist.
24:00
None of them do.
24:01
I am fifty six and I'm maybe just
24:05
halfway to that point of comprehension.
24:11
Fair point.
24:14
Yes, Jaybert,
24:14
she's only she is just a sophomore in
24:17
college.
24:19
She's barely out of high school.
24:20
She went to prom like last year,
24:22
a year before last.
24:23
She almost made the games while she was
24:25
in high school two years ago.
24:27
Yeah.
24:29
Which is,
24:29
if you just sit there and let that
24:33
wash over you for a second,
24:34
that's an insane statistic.
24:38
Yeah, but to understand, like,
24:40
how many nine-year-olds are so impatient
24:42
that they've got to have it all and
24:43
they've got to have it now?
24:45
Well, they won it two weeks ago.
24:46
right and to to have the the forethought
24:51
to say nope i need to just develop
24:53
more and i need to get better this
24:56
isn't my time and i've got a long
24:59
runway to get there knowing that they have
25:01
time like no no i got plenty of
25:03
time i got plenty of time i got
25:06
i'm nineteen years old good lord
25:09
And you know what that also means?
25:11
And she does the class workout every day.
25:13
She does other workouts throughout the
25:15
day,
25:15
but she wants to hang out with the
25:18
people in her affiliate.
25:19
And when she comes to Syndicate,
25:22
her affiliate brings a shit ton of people.
25:25
And that's another thing that today's
25:27
athlete doesn't understand,
25:31
the support she gets from that community.
25:34
It's not fans.
25:35
It's not followers on Facebook or whatnot.
25:37
These are people that she interacts with
25:39
every single day.
25:40
So, and once you see her succeed,
25:43
see what she does.
25:44
I'm sure she wipes the floor with them
25:46
every single day.
25:48
Right.
25:48
But you know that even like people in
25:51
a, in a local fit have those,
25:53
those party tricks that they're really
25:55
good at that can push you in certain
25:58
elements, right?
26:00
And you and I both know when you
26:02
work out next to someone,
26:05
that relationship grows in ways that it
26:07
can't if you don't suffer together.
26:11
Absolutely.
26:12
Shared misery is a wonderful thing.
26:16
Beautiful thing.
26:16
I absolutely love it.
26:22
Is Brute the only major camp that doesn't
26:24
own a gym?
26:27
I can't think of one that doesn't.
26:31
I mean,
26:31
mayhem has mayhem proven has proven.
26:34
TTT has combined with Travis's gym United.
26:38
Yeah.
26:42
I can't,
26:43
HWPO has that thing up in Vermont.
26:45
I don't know if anybody's using it,
26:46
but it was really clean last time I
26:49
saw it, but they own it, but yeah,
26:54
but they do own it.
26:55
And that was purpose built for that much
26:57
like a proven proven and mayhem were.
26:59
So yeah,
27:00
they put regional rigs in that thing just
27:02
to train on.
27:04
so that when they would go to like
27:06
a semi-final or whatever it was the exact
27:08
same equipment they would see there yeah
27:11
and maybe they do train there right before
27:13
events
27:17
but do they i don't know i don't
27:21
know i don't pretend to know i don't
27:24
really care if i'm being completely honest
27:26
um i just i always thought it was
27:28
funny like you'd always see the videos of
27:30
the place and it looks amazing and there's
27:33
never anybody there but matt
27:37
I know this.
27:38
I know Justin Kotler is their head coach.
27:40
I know he lives in Las Vegas.
27:42
That is, I don't know if you checked,
27:44
but about three thousand miles from
27:46
Vermont.
27:47
Roughly.
27:49
And Alex Gazan is his number one athlete.
27:52
She also lives in Vegas.
27:54
My assumption is that training her in
27:56
Vegas is just easier.
27:58
It seems like it would be.
28:00
It seems like it would be.
28:02
It seems like they're not going to...
28:04
You know what we ought to do is
28:05
move to Vermont.
28:07
A completely different climate, altitude,
28:10
like the entire thing, time zone,
28:13
whatever.
28:14
I know everybody you know and everything
28:15
you know is right here in this town,
28:17
but maybe we should move across to this
28:21
admittedly state-of-the-art facility that
28:25
Mr. Fraser built up here in Vermont,
28:27
but
28:28
How about we just stay here instead?
28:31
Yeah.
28:34
Barry, I don't understand the question.
28:36
I mean,
28:36
Luca can be on whatever camp he wants
28:39
to be on to train and to get
28:41
programming and to compete with.
28:44
He's not on the battle of the camps
28:46
at Waterpalooza, SoCal.
28:49
He was just saying earlier, Barry,
28:51
was that he doesn't even participate in
28:54
the CrossFit Games season,
28:55
so why is he on their roster?
28:56
Because he's on their roster.
28:57
There are several other events that you
28:59
can participate in throughout the year,
29:02
especially in Europe.
29:03
Europe has a ton of mid-majors.
29:08
Him and his brother would go and compete
29:10
in all of those to win money to
29:13
support themselves.
29:15
Basically,
29:16
we're competing year-round for quite some
29:18
time.
29:23
uh wasn't was hwpo supposed to move to
29:25
boston i think their their executive team
29:31
moved to boston because that was matt
29:33
o'keefe and that's where matt o'keefe
29:35
lives right i don't think it was like
29:37
a physical move to another purchased
29:39
facility no but i don't think matt left
29:42
vermont i think that's just the the
29:45
headquarters for
29:47
all of their like all of their programming
29:50
pieces and their wow earthquake in
29:53
louisiana i'm just knocking just knocking
29:55
off my desk no big deal um i
29:58
don't think you could pry uh matt fraser
30:00
out of out of vermont with hand grenades
30:03
and a pry bar like he's not leaving
30:05
dude that's yeah grew up there that's his
30:06
hometown he loves that place and i mean
30:09
more power to him like i'm not leaving
30:11
louisiana it's fine
30:14
Corey's just mad.
30:15
He slammed his desk.
30:19
Not mad.
30:20
Clumsy.
30:20
I got a Bluetooth speaker up here and
30:21
I've just been messing with it the entire
30:23
time.
30:23
I just went ahead and knocked it off
30:24
my desk because that's the kind of shit
30:26
that I do.
30:32
Well,
30:32
I'll do all the sharing stuff and then...
30:35
Yeah.
30:39
The maple syrup's good there.
30:42
So I hear.
30:43
Yeah.
30:46
I love real, authentic, not Aunt Jemima,
30:52
not Golden Griddle.
30:53
It's not Aunt Jemima no more.
30:56
It'll always be Aunt Jemima to me.
30:58
Yeah.
31:00
And the Land O'Lakes will always be the
31:01
actual thing.
31:03
It's a whole different story.
31:06
Sacagawea.
31:09
But Golden Griddle, whatever...
31:15
None of that store-bought sugary stuff,
31:17
but the actual stuff that comes out of
31:19
a tree.
31:20
Yes.
31:21
Unprocessed,
31:22
just poured over a piece of French toast.
31:24
I am like...
31:26
Or a pancake or over some breakfast
31:30
sausage.
31:31
Oh, my God.
31:31
If you've never put syrup on a breakfast
31:33
sausage,
31:33
you are not an American as far as
31:35
I'm concerned.
31:35
All right.
31:36
I am not an American.
31:37
But anyway, but where I grew up,
31:40
these people do the homemade maple syrup.
31:43
Hold on here.
31:44
And then they make at the local fairs
31:46
and carnivals,
31:47
they make homemade apple dumplings.
31:50
They put a scoop of homemade vanilla ice
31:51
cream on top and then drizzle their
31:54
homemade maple syrup over the top of that.
31:57
Didn't homemade maple syrup just come
32:00
straight out of a tree?
32:01
Does that mean they have a tree in
32:02
their yard?
32:02
I don't understand what the homemade part
32:04
of that is.
32:05
Hey, it was homemade.
32:06
The tree's in their home,
32:07
on their homeland.
32:09
Got it.
32:10
Scott,
32:12
I'm going to need you to get some
32:12
breakfast sausage.
32:14
I've had it, dude.
32:15
Homemade syrup.
32:18
I've had it.
32:20
i don't want i don't want sweet on
32:22
top my savory dude yeah well you're not
32:26
living right syrup on eggs no if it's
32:32
the right kind of like if it's actual
32:34
not that like you said not the corn
32:37

32:42
no not that but actual real come out
32:44
of a tree so squirrel was trying to
32:46

32:50
I want some good eggs.
32:51
I want some good breakfast sausage.
32:52
I want a biscuit.
32:56
Any day.
33:00
Yeah.
33:00
Wow.
33:00
All right.
33:03
I wanted to share this post with you
33:05
real quick.
33:06
How long could you keep this up?
33:10
You saw the first one?
33:11
That's about where I'd stop.
33:16
This is about, however many times this is,
33:18
is as many times as I would have
33:20
failed trying to do this.
33:22
There's no way.
33:26
I'm really good at wall balls,
33:27
but I am not that good.
33:31
He actually is hitting depth pretty good
33:34
for as quick as he's moving.
33:37
Now,
33:37
never getting to full extension to help
33:39
himself with that ball getting to the
33:41
line, but damn.
33:44
Nah.
33:46
nah also he's throwing that thing really
33:51
that's got to be like a ten pound
33:52
ball two ten pound balls hell it might
33:55
be a six yeah just i mean like
33:57
see how high it's going without him
33:59
getting to full extension there's no way
34:00
that's a twenty regardless the the clumsy
34:03
thing you talked about i i have that
34:04
gene too yeah just staying upright would
34:08
be hard for me
34:12
Well, like getting it started,
34:14
first of all,
34:15
I got to throw one and grab the
34:16
other one.
34:17
Like that part right there.
34:19
Like he kind of like shovel past the
34:22
second one, right?
34:25
Through the first one,
34:26
like an actual wall ball and just kind
34:27
of grab the second one.
34:28
No, thank you.
34:31
That looks terrible.
34:34
No, no good.
34:36
Look at Matt Sousa.
34:36
Yeah.
34:39
He had a good show yesterday,
34:40
if you missed it.
34:41
He had a fantastic show yesterday.
34:43
I enjoyed the shit out of his show
34:44
yesterday.
34:44
That was good stuff.
34:46
Yeah,
34:48
those are always a can't miss for me.
34:50
Because to be honest,
34:52
we don't touch on the affiliate side of
34:54
things probably as much as we should.
34:58
And that's where I get all my knowledge
34:59
about, because he runs an affiliate,
35:01
right?
35:03
A successful affiliate, as it turns out.
35:05
Yeah.
35:06
Yeah.
35:09
No.
35:09
I've been saying this for years.
35:10
Matt Souza is incredibly intelligent and
35:13
knowledgeable when it comes to that kind
35:14
of shit.
35:15
And I enjoy watching his shows because I
35:17
learn shit just about every single time.
35:20
And he's also got a very dry sense
35:21
of humor, which I also highly enjoy.
35:25
So, yeah, good stuff yesterday,
35:27
my brother.
35:31
Extension doesn't matter if the rep is
35:33
good.
35:33
Did he squat and did the ball reach
35:35
the target?
35:36
I wasn't calling him no rep.
35:37
I was just saying.
35:38
No, somebody else was.
35:40
Okay.
35:40
Yeah.
35:42
He's not helping himself get the ball to
35:44
the line by not extending.
35:45
No.
35:46
Which is why we're saying it's probably
35:49
got to be a six-pound ball at,
35:52
you know, a ten-pound at the outside.
35:53
Something along those lines.
35:55
Look at Ortega.
35:55
Ortega, your girl is now a brute athlete.
35:58
Yeah.
35:59
How do you feel about that, my brother?
36:01
Yeah,
36:01
you missed our Reese Witherspoon
36:04
celebration.
36:06
Reese Witherspoon.
36:07
I am terrible.
36:08
Reese Witherspoon.
36:09
Reese Withouterspoon.
36:10
If you didn't know, Reese Witherspoon,
36:12
Sweet Home Alabama, is now a CrossFitter.
36:14
Reese Bigwood.
36:15
Reese Littlewood.
36:20
Yeah, Reese Littlewood.
36:22
We did a celebration of Reese Littlewood
36:24
and her signing with Brute.
36:27
And Reese Witherspoon.
36:29
She's also a Brute athlete now.
36:31
She's a Masters athlete,
36:32
but she's definitely with Brute.
36:34
I just made that up.
36:35
It's fine.
36:37
It's fine.
36:38
It's definitely a thing.
36:39
And CrossFit will do a story on Reese
36:41
Witherspoon in about two years.
36:42
A hundred percent.
36:44
Absolutely.
36:45
Becoming a CrossFitter.
36:48
They'll see it from this show and be
36:50
like, hey,
36:51
that dude was talking about Reese
36:52
Witherspoon.
36:52
Is she actually a master's athlete?
36:54
I don't know,
36:55
but let's do a thing about her anyway.
36:56
Sweet.
37:01
Scott, you could have played that off.
37:03
I thought you were joking.
37:03
I was not.
37:04
I'm just dumb.
37:06
It actually brings up a topic I wanted
37:10
to.
37:11
If I read more, I'd probably be smarter.
37:14
It's not that I was doing a bit.
37:15
I'm just not real smart.
37:21
Oh, that's fantastic.
37:25
It brings me to a thing that I
37:27
was watching yesterday.
37:29
everybody knows i love music and i was
37:31
watching an interview with john resnick
37:33
from the goo goo dolls the lead singer
37:34
of the goo goo dolls and the main
37:36
songwriter i thought it was johnny
37:37
resonating we just well i thought that i
37:40
was doing that because we're friends but
37:42
i'm going to say do you know him
37:43
that well that it's just john do you
37:44
no no that's just john it's fine so
37:48
he was on rick beato's show this week
37:51
um talking about songwriting and gear he
37:54
uses and all this kind of stuff but
37:57
great interview but at the end of it
37:59
they talk about how ai is killing music
38:04
writing because young musicians are using
38:07
ai and resnick basically says the most
38:11
you're ever going to get from ai in
38:13
songwriting is a derivative of what's
38:16
already been done
38:19
Right.
38:20
Yeah.
38:20
And so the days of getting anything new
38:24
with young musicians is going to be hard
38:26
because they're all relying on AI to
38:29
finish off their music or to add a
38:31
component or to add strings or whatever it
38:35
is.
38:35
Right.
38:36
And he says that they play live.
38:39
They don't use background tracks.
38:41
They don't do any of that kind of
38:42
stuff.
38:43
And he goes,
38:43
I mess up all the time.
38:45
And I found that the audience actually
38:47
appreciates when I screw up because they
38:51
know it's real.
38:52
Right.
38:53
If I'm off key at a moment,
38:55
it's almost like they're like, yay.
38:57
Yeah, he's a human.
39:00
We're not suffering through AI shit.
39:02
Right.
39:04
he also say he'd give up forever to
39:05
touch you sorry i've been holding on to
39:09
that the whole time you were talking i
39:11
had to get it out they talked about
39:13
that song a lot but i imagine they
39:15
did i would imagine they didn't um i
39:20
just wanted to get your opinion on all
39:21
that because i've been saying for years to
39:24
my wife like
39:27
i don't care if they hit every note
39:29
perfectly i want to know that they feel
39:32
every note yes that's a big difference big
39:37
huge difference go back and look and if
39:40
you can find it's not that it's hard
39:43
to find mind you but like
39:45
concert footage or, or, you know, the old,
39:49
uh,
39:49
just live performances from old artists.
39:52
I hate to say it, but it's true,
39:54
right?
39:55
Old artists, whoever it might be journey,
39:59
Boston guys like that.
40:00
Um, old country artists, George straight,
40:03
George, see him at, see it,
40:04
see him live.
40:06
Right.
40:07
And it does not sound like it's not
40:10
perfect every single time.
40:11
Right.
40:12
It's not going to be.
40:13
When we saw the Black Crows a couple
40:17
weeks ago, a couple months ago,
40:18
whenever that was,
40:19
it did not sound perfect because Chris
40:23
Robinson was singing right there in front
40:25
of us.
40:26
And it's not going to.
40:26
I don't expect him to.
40:28
People said the same thing about Guns N'
40:30
Roses and Axl Rose a lot,
40:32
that he was a studio musician.
40:35
Because when you heard him live,
40:36
it did not sound anything like it did
40:39
on the stuff you heard on the radio
40:40
and on the recordings because you had a
40:42
million takes to get it perfect.
40:44
But if you saw him live,
40:45
it did not sound that way.
40:47
But you appreciated it because you knew it
40:49
was real.
40:50
Yeah.
40:52
I am so...
40:55
that is so my, my style of music.
40:57
And I know you can't stand YouTube,
40:59
but that's why I love YouTube because Bono
41:02
doesn't sing a perfect note every time,
41:05
but you know,
41:05
he means whatever note he's saying, right?
41:08
Like, no, I mean,
41:09
I can appreciate that point of it.
41:10
I just don't like that music.
41:13
Um, Wayne says like,
41:15
it's technically impossible for AI to
41:17
improvise, which is the beauty in music.
41:20
It is.
41:22
AI cannot have an original thought.
41:26
All it is really is an amped up
41:30
Uh search engine is really all it is
41:32
they can put stuff together from stuff
41:34
that it'll find here there and yonder You
41:37
can't it's not going to have an original
41:39
thought to be able to or feelings to
41:40
be able to write down Stuff that that
41:43
you would hear in music doesn't work that
41:45
way um talking about ai writing stuff and
41:48
I don't know if i've said this before
41:50
or not,
41:50
but like one of the beauty things I
41:52
love about brandon,
41:53
uh luckett is that
41:55
we will give him so much shit if
41:57
we find a typo in the programming like
42:01
one day he had uh like that we
42:04
had to finish a workout with like it
42:06
said a hundred calories for the guys and
42:08
eight for the ladies and i was like
42:10
well he's gonna have a real easy row
42:12
and that's like on that last one
42:14
He was like,
42:14
that's how y'all know I'm the one actually
42:16
writing this.
42:16
It's not AI.
42:17
I'm not just putting that out there.
42:19
And it's true because like he types it
42:20
all himself, puts it into the app.
42:22
And then sometimes it comes out great.
42:24
Sometimes he had me doing,
42:25
had us doing two hundred meter strict runs
42:29
the other day.
42:31
Not this week, but last week.
42:32
And I had to text everybody.
42:33
I was like, hey, bro,
42:35
what's a two hundred meter strict run?
42:36
I've never done that before.
42:37
And he's like, I meant stride, asshole.
42:39
And I was like, yeah,
42:40
I know what you mean.
42:40
I just want to pick that up.
42:44
Seema says her little sister purposely
42:46
messes up her IG reel so people know
42:48
it's authentic.
42:49
Yeah.
42:52
What kills me, or not kills me,
42:54
it tickles me sometimes is that
42:55
everybody's, oh, AI's going to do this,
42:57
AI's going to do that,
42:58
AI's going to do this.
42:59
It is so incredibly easy to pick out
43:03
when something is AI.
43:05
You can read through it one time and
43:07
know that, yeah,
43:08
this is probably not written by an actual
43:10
human being.
43:12
What I think would be funny is if
43:13
people went,
43:14
you had people go out and say strict
43:16
run and give them no directions and see
43:19
all the different interpretations of what
43:21
a strict run might be.
43:22
Oh, I got plenty from our text group.
43:24
Believe me.
43:26
Uh, means no knee bend.
43:27
That's one of them that I got.
43:29
Somebody was like,
43:30
I put on your knee sleeves,
43:31
put a PVC pipe through each one.
43:33
That way you can't bend your knees and
43:35
just run like that.
43:37
Uh, it means no hopping or skipping.
43:42
I want to say it's like you can't
43:43
run two hundred and one meters or one
43:45
hundred and ninety nine meters.
43:46
It has to be two hundred.
43:48
Sorry.
43:49
Not sorry.
43:52
Yeah, that's great.
43:55
Speaking of music,
43:56
I don't know if you know this,
43:57
but I started to play drums a week
43:59
ago.
44:00
I may have seen it.
44:01
I may have may have seen some video
44:03
footage of it.
44:03
May have may have.
44:05
So I posted a reel about it yesterday.
44:08
And I put it up on Tik TOK
44:10
and I got, I got a comment.
44:12
I don't usually pay attention to like all
44:14
that stuff because we put up a lot
44:16
of reels on here.
44:18
Um,
44:19
but this is on my own account and
44:21
I put it up on Tik TOK and
44:23
a studio musician from LA was like,
44:25
that's after a week, you're doing awesome.
44:28
And I, you might,
44:30
I could have floated across the floor at
44:33
that point.
44:34
Yeah.
44:36
Yes.
44:38
you too call me and then last night
44:42
i was like okay i've been doing all
44:44
this methodology maybe maybe i am getting
44:46
good enough that i can do a song
44:48
so i went to my little drumeo app
44:50
and i picked the beginner version of in
44:53
the end by lincoln park and uh no
44:57
kicking the crotch i am not good enough
44:59
yet turns out get back to methodology
45:04
Back up, back up a little bit.
45:06
Let me back up a little bit.
45:08
The Drumeo, the app that you're using,
45:12
the Drumeo people, their YouTube is,
45:17
they'll get drummers into their little
45:20
studio area or whatnot.
45:22
They'll play a song for them that they
45:24
have never heard but with the drums
45:27
removed and have them, dude,
45:29
that is fun to watch.
45:33
That's why I'm playing drums now.
45:35
Yeah.
45:35
I've watched so many of those videos that
45:38
I was like, I can do this.
45:40
Yeah, I can do this.
45:41
Got it.
45:42
No big deal.
45:43
No big deal.
45:44
To be fair,
45:45
I saw your reel and you looked like
45:48
you knew what you were doing.
45:50
Well, that's actually me playing.
45:51
That is the actual sound coming out of
45:53
my guitar amp,
45:54
which is not geared for my electric drums.
45:57
No, I didn't have the sound up.
45:58
I just said, you look like you.
46:01
The rhythm's right.
46:02
I'm playing it right.
46:04
It's a very simple money groove.
46:06
That's all we're at right now.
46:08
That's all you need, brother.
46:10
Drums is where it's at, dude.
46:12
Drums is where it's at.
46:13
Gotten back just beating on stuff the
46:14
entire time.
46:16
Sign me up for that.
46:19
It is such a good stress reliever too.
46:21
Well, yeah.
46:23
And it is way more cardio than you
46:26
think it is.
46:27
Oh, no.
46:30
I've always said this.
46:34
every drum I've ever seen has been skinny
46:36
as a rail.
46:37
And there's a reason for that because they
46:39
are busy.
46:39
Except for this one.
46:41
Well, you were brand new.
46:43
You were brand new drummer, Scott.
46:45
We'll get there, brother.
46:46
It's a process.
46:48
But you've never seen like every drum I've
46:51
ever seen because like you're,
46:53
swinging and beating and like you're doing
46:55
stuff the entire time you've seen guitar
46:58
people like if you've seen a concert
46:59
you've seen dudes just stop playing their
47:01
guitar and like go to adjusting stuff and
47:03
it doesn't really sound all that different
47:06
right yeah the drummer can't stop no they
47:13
got a usually got a bag full of
47:15
sticks next to them in case one breaks
47:18
they just got to grab it and just
47:19
kind of keep on keeping on
47:22
Um, drums is a workout too.
47:24
Yep.
47:24
It is.
47:26
Uh,
47:26
it's so good for your brain to learn
47:27
new things.
47:28
I had to do something cause reading,
47:30
it was not going to help me.
47:32
Once we gave up reading it,
47:34
the next best thing was going to be
47:35
learning how to play the drums.
47:37
Scott, are you building a garage gym?
47:39
I built a garage gym in twenty sixteen.
47:42
Yeah, it's I've added pieces to it.
47:45
I still use it four or five times
47:47
a day, a week,
47:49
not a four or five times a day,
47:50
a week, whatever.
47:51
It's like twenty five times a week.
47:52
It's fine.
47:53
Yeah.
47:55
I've got an assault bike.
47:57
I've got dumbbells.
47:58
I've got kettlebells.
47:59
I've got a barbell with about four hundred
48:02
and some odd pounds of weight.
48:06
I've got rings.
48:08
According to Winter,
48:11
you're going to start getting tattoos here
48:13
shortly.
48:15
I have a few.
48:19
Way more.
48:20
A lot more to catch up to Travis
48:21
Barker.
48:23
So he says in his documentary the reason
48:25
he got tattoos is so he wouldn't have
48:26
a plan B. Yeah.
48:29
A lot of musicians have said that.
48:31
It's like, no, I'm committing.
48:33
If I get shit, jelly roll.
48:35
What jelly roll else is he going to
48:37
do?
48:38
I do that shit all over his face.
48:41
Who's the other one?
48:43
Post Malone.
48:45
Teddy Swims.
48:47
Teddy Swims is
48:49
And I've seen videos of him interacting
48:52
with the public.
48:53
He's the nicest guy on the planet.
48:57
But you look at him,
48:58
and if you just saw him coming down
48:59
a dark alley somewhere,
49:00
you'd probably run the other direction
49:01
because he looks scary as shit.
49:03
Go to prison.
49:09
The other option is go to prison.
49:11
Yeah.
49:12
It's either tattoos on my face.
49:13
I got two things I can do.
49:14
Rob banks or play.
49:18
What do you call a drummer without a
49:19
girlfriend?
49:20
Homeless.
49:21
I read fitness came out with a new
49:25
treadmill.
49:26
It looks great.
49:27
I saw it's resistance built in.
49:30
I don't know about the resistance building
49:31
thing.
49:31
That seems kind of weird.
49:34
It'd be like running in sand, I guess.
49:36
Wasn't that what they had at Legends?
49:40
No, it was not.
49:42
They might have had resistance,
49:43
but it wasn't.
49:48
Because you could actually do a simulated
49:51
sled push on their treadmill if you
49:54
cranked it up to ten.
49:57
Yeah,
49:57
because they had the gear shift on it
50:01
looking deal.
50:02
Yeah, exactly.
50:05
My problem with those kind of things is
50:06
that,
50:07
and I'm looking at it from a practicality
50:09
standpoint, it's more shit to break.
50:15
I would much rather just get...
50:16
If I'm going to spend the amount of
50:18
money that those things normally are,
50:21
just give me the regular little Air Runner
50:22
because you just get on it and run.
50:26
No big deal.
50:28
Our next purchase is a rower.
50:30
My wife wants a rower again.
50:31
We had one.
50:33
We sold it to get the bike because
50:34
of my back.
50:35
The bike was easier on my back than
50:37
the rower, but now my back's good.
50:39
Now she wants a rower back.
50:41
We'll probably...
50:43
That's our next purchase.
50:44
And then I want a bench rack,
50:48
squat rack.
50:49
Oh, yeah.
50:51
Those shouldn't be that expensive,
50:52
I wouldn't think,
50:53
even from a Facebook marketplace.
50:56
I'm sure I'll find some.
50:58
You should be able to.
50:59
Or if not,
50:59
you can just walk down the street to
51:00
Rogue and see what they got in the
51:04
dumpster out back.
51:06
Pretty much.
51:08
Just walk up, dude.
51:11
around here i can just you know so
51:14
they they used to have a garage sale
51:17
i was about to ask you if that
51:18
still went on because i remember when that
51:19
used to happen i have not seen it
51:22
in a while i haven't i tell you
51:24
what man if you weren't usain bolt off
51:28
the line yeah you are literally people
51:31
would run and especially like the the
51:35
weight plates they would run and dive on
51:37
top of the spread eagle
51:41
and wait for their friends to come,
51:43
and then they would pick all the ones
51:45
they wanted.
51:47
These are mine.
51:49
These are mine.
51:50
I kid you not,
51:50
that's not even an exaggeration.
51:53
One guy run down and just spread eagle.
51:56
It's like a brother and sister situation,
51:59
right?
51:59
When he's like, I looked at it,
52:01
it's mine, type deal.
52:03
Like, whoa, hey, it's just a,
52:06
it's just a forty-five pound plate.
52:07
Not a big deal.
52:09
Which, to be fair, dude, like,
52:11
If they're selling at garage sale prices,
52:13
like that shit's expensive.
52:14
Their plates.
52:15
So, I mean, everybody's place,
52:16
not just theirs.
52:18
What's crazy back in the day,
52:20
the old games plates would be there.
52:22
Now they sell those at the games because
52:24
people want them with the printed thing.
52:25
Right.
52:26
But back when I was,
52:28
cause I started CrossFit in two thousand
52:29
eleven, man,
52:31
like you'd go down there and they'd have
52:33
like the plates from last year's games
52:35
just sitting in a pile of plates.
52:41
They had bars.
52:42
They had bars from the games.
52:43
They had like tons.
52:45
If there was like an apparatus from the
52:47
games that they were never going to use
52:49
again, it was in the garage sale.
52:53
Fun times.
52:54
I remember getting the emails about it and
52:57
thinking,
52:58
I would love to go up there and
53:00
go catch it, right?
53:02
Because you can probably come back with
53:03
some badass shit.
53:05
And then I remember hearing stories like
53:06
what you just said of people just making
53:08
a wild break for it as soon as
53:10
they open doors or whatnot.
53:12
I'm like,
53:12
I don't want to fight anybody over a
53:14
barbell.
53:14
I really don't.
53:16
It was mostly the super expensive stuff.
53:18
Like a wall ball is expensive, right?
53:22
For what you're getting,
53:24
it is really expensive.
53:26
People would dive into the pile of wall
53:28
balls and on the plates.
53:31
Those were the two main things.
53:34
You could get barbells pretty easily at
53:36
the garage sale.
53:37
You could get kettlebells pretty easily.
53:41
There was stuff that you could get not
53:43
too bad, but damn,
53:45
those couple things that were a little bit
53:47
pricier, really tough.
53:49
Yeah.
53:51
winter i'm not fighting anybody over a
53:53
barbell i have a shorty barbell that i
53:57
ordered from uh rogue um my my uh
54:02
my shorty one i'm going to get another
54:05
i can buy another an actual full size
54:07
my own barbell but i'm not getting a
54:09
rogue one i'm gonna get a uh oh
54:13
what's it called i got it saved in
54:18
here
54:20
hero when i get a hero barbell uh
54:23
there's still a garage sale section around
54:24
the corner behind the checkout always have
54:26
rogue invitational stuff yeah it's not the
54:30
same judy it's not like the old garage
54:34
sale like they they used to fly drones
54:36
over it to watch the carnage
54:39
It was like Black Friday mornings, right?
54:41
At the mall and whatnot,
54:42
and people just pressed up against the
54:44
door.
54:45
With a whole bunch of fit people.
54:48
Exactly.
54:53
Unlike Black Friday at the mall.
54:58
Yeah,
54:58
which is not a whole bunch of fit
54:59
people.
55:00
That's just a bunch of people.
55:03
My wall ball at home is from an
55:04
old gym that was getting rid of it
55:05
because it was ripped.
55:07
So I taped it up and use it
55:09
because wall balls are so expensive.
55:11
A little sand in the eye makes it
55:13
RX+.
55:15
Nothing like a little sand in the eye
55:16
there, Winter.
55:21
So if you go back,
55:22
like Savan did a video called,
55:25
what was it called?
55:27
It's the one about Miko Salo.
55:28
Oh,
55:28
I know exactly what you're talking about.
55:32
It's Sisu?
55:33
Sisu?
55:33
Sisu.
55:33
Sisu?
55:35
Sisu.
55:37
And Miko's wall ball was like a bed
55:42
pillow stuffed with duct tape.
55:47
And he would throw it on the outside
55:48
of his house.
55:52
he also did the the he's uh the
55:55
famous uh what is it miko's triangle yeah
55:59
in like this the dirtiest basement you've
56:02
ever seen in your entire life and hey
56:05
bro make do with what you got that
56:08
was i mean that was kind of the
56:10
glory years of crossfit the we don't need
56:13
air conditioning we don't need lights we
56:16
don't need heat dude i can't tell you
56:19
the amount of times like um
56:23
The power wouldn't get knocked out at the
56:25
gym.
56:26
During the middle of a workout,
56:27
nobody stops.
56:30
I'll grab my phone right quick,
56:31
turn on the timer, and be like, hey,
56:33
this is how much time y'all got left.
56:36
Let's go.
56:36
The power went out at our gym,
56:38
and it was dark inside.
56:40
They pulled up the bay door,
56:43
and the owner pulled his car up and
56:46
shined the headlights in to the gym,
56:48
and we kept going.
56:49
Yeah, we have.
56:51
So the panels in the roof have a
56:54
couple of, they're not transparent,
56:56
but there's like translucent.
56:57
So like the sunlight will still come in.
56:58
So if it's a power line down,
57:01
down the street, yeah,
57:02
the light might go out,
57:03
the fans definitely going to turn off.
57:06
but you still can see for the most
57:08
part,
57:08
see enough to do whatever it is we
57:09
were doing.
57:10
And yep, the music is going to stop.
57:12
Ain't a whole lot I can do about
57:13
that right this second.
57:14
Although now we have a battery powered
57:16
speaker, Bluetooth speaker,
57:18
so I can just hook my phone to
57:19
it and we can call it good.
57:20
Like we can keep rolling.
57:22
We're not going,
57:23
y'all keep doing what y'all doing.
57:24
I got the rest of this.
57:25
Y'all keep working out.
57:26
Don't even worry about it.
57:28
And now I think that's,
57:30
those are like the disconnect pieces now
57:32
with the
57:34
The elite athletes like having air
57:37
conditioned places to work out in and all
57:40
that kind of stuff.
57:41
That's the disconnect from like the roots
57:43
of CrossFit.
57:45
Not saying one is better than the other,
57:47
but like there was a grittiness to the
57:50
old school CrossFit that I think has been
57:53
lost along the way.
57:55
Well, I mean,
57:56
that's why we still write stuff on the
57:57
whiteboard every day.
57:58
I wrote the workout this morning when I
58:00
coached this morning,
58:01
wrote everything down,
58:02
wrote the warm-up down and whatnot.
58:03
We write everybody's name on the board,
58:05
everybody's scores and what weight they
58:07
lifted, all that shit.
58:09
We still do all of that by hand,
58:10
where a lot of places I've gone to,
58:11
it's just on a TV screen now,
58:13
and you can just go to the computer
58:14
and whatnot.
58:15
The computer might break,
58:16
the TV might break,
58:17
all that shit might go down.
58:19
The whiteboard is always going to work.
58:21
All we need is a marker.
58:25
Yeah.
58:25
I love watching the Burpee King on
58:27
YouTube.
58:27
Just a four by six space.
58:29
Get after it.
58:32
It's really all you need.
58:34
You can do a whole lot of fitness
58:36
in a very small space.
58:41
My gym got struck by lightning a few
58:43
weeks ago.
58:43
No fans, no music,
58:44
no lights for a few days.
58:48
We can still do music.
58:49
We got three different speakers in there
58:52
that are battery operated.
58:55
Once the big one would die,
58:57
as long as it had a good charge
58:58
on it,
58:59
we can charge it overnight and it'll play
59:01
all day from five o'clock, five and six,
59:06
eight, twelve, three thirty, four thirty,
59:08
five thirty.
59:08
So you're looking at eight hours of it.
59:11
being able to play at basically full
59:13
volume the entire time, not a big deal.
59:15
And then where there's two of them,
59:17
two little Bluetooth speakers on the other
59:19
side by the weightlifting area that if we
59:20
need to,
59:21
we can pull over at any given point
59:24
in time and just roll with those as
59:25
well.
59:25
You can play music off your phone,
59:27
not a big deal.
59:27
Like we are, we are,
59:30
we are around us anyway.
59:32
I feel like the Kings that we can
59:33
make it work,
59:35
like whatever you need to do,
59:36
we can make it happen.
59:38
I want to leave with just a fun
59:40
question for you.
59:41
Cause I was posed this question on
59:42
Instagram today and I thought I'd share it
59:44
with the group and yes,
59:46
get your vote for what this question is.
59:51
Um, sure.
59:56
So the question is who was the best
59:58
Hollywood quarterback?
1:00:01
Your nominees are Shane Falco from The
1:00:04
Replacements,
1:00:05
Mike Winchell from Friday Night Lights,
1:00:07
Paul Crew from The Longest Yard,
1:00:09
Willie Beeman from Any Given Sunday,
1:00:11
Ronnie Sunshine Bass from Remember the
1:00:13
Titans,
1:00:14
and Johnny Mox Moxon from Varsity Blues.
1:00:19
Is this really even a question?
1:00:25
Pain heals, chicks dig scars,
1:00:27
but glory lasts forever.
1:00:33
mean my initial vote was shane falco
1:00:34
pretty much hands down right yeah but i
1:00:39
don't want your life for a kid who
1:00:45
didn't really want to be a football player
1:00:47
he was pretty damn good johnny mox moxon
1:00:50
he was and i will say this as
1:00:52
far as like straight up talent and and
1:00:56
doing it in a different a different time
1:00:58
period sunshine was pretty damn good
1:01:02
But I will tell you,
1:01:04
who actually looked like a real NFL
1:01:06
quarterback was Willie Beeman.
1:01:08
Stephen Willie Beeman, yeah.
1:01:10
Props to Jamie Foxx.
1:01:11
He did make it look real.
1:01:12
Yeah.
1:01:13
Like, I love Shane Falco,
1:01:15
and I love his O-line.
1:01:17
Like, his O-line are my favorite.
1:01:19
Like,
1:01:20
they are all about the protection in every
1:01:23
single way.
1:01:24
Yep.
1:01:25
But, like,
1:01:26
he did not look like an NFL quarterback.
1:01:28
No.
1:01:30
Willie Beeman looked like a real NFL
1:01:32
quarterback.
1:01:32
Is it because he was left-handed and
1:01:35
you're not used to seeing too many
1:01:37
left-handed quarterbacks?
1:01:41
He just doesn't look smooth, dude.
1:01:44
I get that.
1:01:45
Have you seen the conspiracy theories that
1:01:47
say that Shane Falco...
1:01:51
Is actually Johnny Utah.
1:01:54
I've, I've heard that.
1:01:56
I've heard that.
1:01:59
I was getting confused.
1:02:00
Shane Falco confused with Joe Flacco.
1:02:02
And well, I mean, that's fair.
1:02:05
Yeah.
1:02:07
uh replace sandler with burt if you put
1:02:10
burt reynolds up there and his paul crew
1:02:12
that guy looked like that guy actually
1:02:14
played quarterback at florida state yeah
1:02:16
but i say he actually was a quarterback
1:02:18
so that's probably why they went with uh
1:02:21
went with stan with sandler instead yeah
1:02:25
utah my battery is just about dead on
1:02:27
this laptop because i plugged in the wrong
1:02:29
cord utah
1:02:33
me too well the reason i wanted to
1:02:35
bring this up is last night i was
1:02:36
watching the nfl game and uh and they
1:02:41
did an opening with a kyle chandler going
1:02:45
through speech lights and he's doing it
1:02:49
and i said to my wife clear eyes
1:02:51
full heart can't lose can't lose she goes
1:02:54
what are you talking about and then he
1:02:56
ends it with
1:02:57
Clear eyes.
1:02:58
Clear eyes.
1:02:58
Full heart.
1:02:59
Can't lose.
1:03:00
Can't lose.
1:03:01
She goes, how do you know that?
1:03:02
I'm like, Friday Night Lights,
1:03:03
how do you not know that?
1:03:05
How do you not know that?
1:03:05
Yeah, that's the real question.
1:03:07
I never wanted your life.
1:03:10
I don't want your life.
1:03:16
