Latest / The Spin Podcast / 26.1 Open announcement, online qualifier chaos, WFP roster? & CrossFit Medical Society
Transcript
- 0:32Welcome to the spin. Tyler has been replaced by his
- 0:37wife Jeanette and we have Miss Jen Pishko on We're here to
- 0:44they're going to talk to us about CrossFit Medical Society
- 0:48and their new health hub. If you are an affiliate owner, I
- 0:52think this is probably a good, good topic to listen to some
- 0:57good information about how you can help your members with some
- 1:02biomarkers and, and getting healthier.
- 1:04So welcome, Jen. Welcome, Jen.
- 1:07Hey guys. So start with you, Jen.
- 1:12Tell us a little bit about what this new health hub is.
- 1:16Well, I don't know so much that it's new.
- 1:19I think that's been the direction that we've been aiming
- 1:22towards since we kicked off the cross the medical society a
- 1:25couple years ago. I think now what's really cool
- 1:28is that in a couple weeks, we're doing the first Health
- 1:31Integration Summit in San Diego. So there's 50 affiliate donors
- 1:35and coaches and healthcare providers that are coming to
- 1:38actually unpack what it means to bring these resources into their
- 1:42affiliate and build SOP's and blueprints and business plans.
- 1:46And there's a ton of education. And Jeanette can speak to this
- 1:49part because she's been grinding helping us get this textbook
- 1:53sized guide out there for everybody.
- 1:56But it's just the culmination of kind of all these resources that
- 2:01have been put together so that, like you said, affiliate owners
- 2:04can, you know, get after it and create opportunities for
- 2:09continued support for their members on their health journey,
- 2:12no matter where they are, where they come in, where they want to
- 2:15go, so on and so forth. So that's the high level.
- 2:19Yeah, And how did you get involved, Jeanette?
- 2:23Matt Siza got me. I kind of connected with Jen
- 2:26like a little bit back. Writing for a barbell spin.
- 2:29I was covering the cross America Society and community health.
- 2:33I'm pretty surely after having Braun excuse a call Tyler one
- 2:36day and was like, hey, does Jeanette want to like write a
- 2:38few articles for the cross America society?
- 2:40I was like, yeah, I thought I was going to do it for free.
- 2:42Like when we start talking about it, I was like, yeah, I can
- 2:45write a few articles and help them out like whatever, happy to
- 2:47do. I'm stay on the couch, you know,
- 2:49Braun all day. And Tyler was like, shut up.
- 2:51They're going to pay you. You're.
- 2:53Going to do it for free. So, and it'd be a pretty good
- 2:56deal and it's been a lot of fun, so.
- 2:58It's been, yeah, it's been great.
- 3:00I just, I have to say, like I'm just impressed with, and I'm not
- 3:04saying this because I want to say how good we've done, but
- 3:08just the teamwork between Jeanette and the folks at Media
- 3:12Launch and our small team at the Crescent Medical Society.
- 3:14Like I just, I'm really super proud of what we're able to
- 3:18bring in the next couple weeks and then the other summits
- 3:21throughout the year. So I'm just, I'm, I'm just
- 3:23really excited. Fired up.
- 3:26Yeah, awesome. And if people want a little bit
- 3:28more clarity on Jeanette's story, there's a great where
- 3:33Souza kind of goes into it a little bit and you can see the
- 3:35health markers of what he's talking about.
- 3:38That could be in CrossFit coach's hands, with explanations
- 3:43on how to better those markers. Yeah, if you go are you can you
- 3:46adjust go to the biomarker hub tab on the website.
- 3:49So if you go to the top on the navigation, go to the about.
- 3:54Yeah. And so there's a crap ton of
- 3:57information just on that page in general.
- 4:00It's direct to consumer. So anybody can go any
- 4:03Crossfitter can go on. But I think the cool thing that,
- 4:06you know, we're working on with the affiliate owners is how does
- 4:10this then become part of what you do in your affiliate, like
- 4:13with new members, existing members building out additional
- 4:16tiers of membership like this visualizer was is was built, has
- 4:21been built for the CrossFit community.
- 4:23So the reference ranges, the continuum where you get your
- 4:27health score, like all the things is completely based
- 4:30around what we as cross fitters want to get out of our journey
- 4:34from going from sickness. And you can kind of see it right
- 4:36there from sickness to Wellness to fitness.
- 4:39And so there's a lot of cool features.
- 4:41It trends your, any data that you have from past labs, current
- 4:45labs that you'd get with us, any like lab platform, you can load
- 4:50it up yourself like it's, it's really, it's a really great
- 4:53resource for an individual, especially when, you know, we
- 4:57want to be in control of what we're doing just from our
- 5:00mindset and our philosophy. And so, you know, integrating
- 5:03that into what affiliates can do just holistically with the way
- 5:06that they want to move forward in this space I think is really
- 5:09cool. Yeah, you can see right there,
- 5:12$150.00 for a foundations panel, 450 for a male elite or female
- 5:17elite panel. I feel like that's a much better
- 5:19price than what they typically are to get any type of blood
- 5:24work done. Yeah.
- 5:25I mean, and the prices are going to change depending on who you
- 5:28would go through and all this stuff you need to.
- 5:35Watch Braun Like are you watching?
- 5:37Right now. And there's a lot to be said for
- 5:42that too, if you were to go and kind of like unpack the caliber
- 5:45of biomarkers that are included with some of these panels,
- 5:48because not all markers are created equal in the way that,
- 5:52you know, they're processed and what they're looking at and all
- 5:54that stuff. And this is, this is high level,
- 5:57like really good options for, you know, for our folks.
- 6:01So it's super cool. That's just, I mean, and that's
- 6:03just one piece of it, right? And it's the biomarker part.
- 6:05But yeah. Yeah.
- 6:06So how are you going? Oh, go ahead, John.
- 6:09I'm just thinking of like a, a new person who is new to
- 6:13CrossFit, but if they walk in and they're like, hey, I don't
- 6:16know what I'm doing, I'm bad, as you could see, like it's all bad
- 6:23and I want to change my life, right?
- 6:25Like they can sign up for a gym membership or or whatever and
- 6:30then start with a foundations panel and then over the next and
- 6:33then the next year, let's call it after the open, right?
- 6:36They can see not not just by their open score, but literally
- 6:41their labs with how much they've improved.
- 6:43And I think the labs would be far more telling than even the
- 6:46fitness games. I mean, yes, I think so too.
- 6:51And what, and Jeanette can attest to this too, 'cause I
- 6:53think that her and I have probably been deep in like the
- 6:57construct of the methodology for a really long time, writing all
- 7:00of the the text that goes along with this education.
- 7:04But like if you look at the, the continuum as it is written in
- 7:08the level 1, like biomarkers are underneath there, right?
- 7:11Like we know that it's your mile time and your deadlift and your
- 7:14Fran time and kind of all that stuff.
- 7:16But there's triglycerides and there is your body fat
- 7:19composition and there, there's those markers that exist
- 7:22underneath there from the onset of the kernel itself, the level
- 7:251, right? And so now to be able to be
- 7:28having the resources to fully deliver the expression of
- 7:32fitness to your members right in one place and they don't have to
- 7:35outsource this anywhere else like.
- 7:38Come on. Yeah, it's awesome.
- 7:40And I mean, I think affiliates have been functioning as health
- 7:43hubs for a long time. We're just finally given the
- 7:46tools to like, fully execute it and do it responsibly where, you
- 7:50know, if we're a challenging chronic disease through a
- 7:51CrossFit affiliate, people show up every day with diabetes,
- 7:55hypertension, whatever it might be.
- 7:57And we already have CrossFit coaches trying to handle that
- 7:59and gain them fitter, give them the the behavioral changes are
- 8:04necessary, the maintenance to challenge chronic disease and
- 8:07get healthier. But now we're just adding the
- 8:09extra layer and the support to have like the science and like
- 8:12the biomarkers and that objective data to back it up to
- 8:14you. And like, show how well CrossFit
- 8:16can actually do this and not just have that qualitative data
- 8:19and those stories that we hear all the time from members every
- 8:22day in the affiliate. I love that.
- 8:25Jeanette, do you want me to answer that question?
- 8:27Yeah, from Renetta. Can I add my previous blood
- 8:29tests there for free or do I need to become a member?
- 8:31First, yeah. So if you just want access to
- 8:33the platform, you can just hop on and there's like a small
- 8:37subscription fee to give you access to the dashboard.
- 8:39If you order your labs you get access to the dashboard with the
- 8:42lab draw, but you can you can have it just a la carte and
- 8:45upload your labs to it. Yes, it is currently only in the
- 8:52USA, but I am actively trying to change that.
- 8:56What is what? What implications does it have
- 8:58of moving outside of the US? There's just different laws
- 9:02around the way medicine is practiced from country to
- 9:05country, and so that is a consideration.
- 9:09There's also public health care systems that exist that have
- 9:13additional laws about what people can do outside of the
- 9:15public health care system. There's just things that are
- 9:18very different, to say the least.
- 9:22But what's been really cool, I think, is the connections that
- 9:25the CrossFit Medical Society has made with providers all over the
- 9:28place. Like we have some providers
- 9:31coming from Canada that are coming down to San Diego to the
- 9:34summit in a couple weeks, and the same when we connected in
- 9:38Berlin when we were there last year.
- 9:40And we know there's a whole bunch of folks over in the UK.
- 9:42And so the interest is there especially to try to extrapolate
- 9:46pieces that work right now in real time.
- 9:49And then I just think that as the network continues to build,
- 9:52the momentum continues to push forward and, you know,
- 9:55affiliates are just, you know, helping all of this move in that
- 9:59direction that it'll just be a natural expression of what can
- 10:03happen in in different parts of the of the globe, hopefully.
- 10:07Say I'm JY and I'm running my my gym and I want to get involved
- 10:14and help my members understand this, but I, I eat McDonald's
- 10:18and I don't know all the Nuggets.
- 10:21Yeah. How do I what do I do to be able
- 10:24to help my? Members before before we dive
- 10:27into that question, I just want to let people know I've gotten
- 10:30my labs done and they were like your Captain America.
- 10:35They're they're beautiful. If I could put a number on it,
- 10:38it'd be 90 plus on every single number.
- 10:40Just just letting the people know.
- 10:43We need to get a documentary on. John And then, like, reveal the
- 10:47health score in real time and just kind of exactly see what's
- 10:51going on. If you do CrossFit, you can eat
- 10:53McDonald's. That's that's it.
- 10:56I, I think we would sell a lot of memberships.
- 10:58I'm just saying no. I panel me up.
- 11:01I'm telling you, I I'm great. People don't think so, but I'm,
- 11:05I'm freaking awesome. Hey, don't make me, don't make
- 11:08me, don't make me run, don't make me run, but.
- 11:11Don't doubt it. There's a lot of running in the
- 11:13JY programming, by the way. Good job, John.
- 11:16I thought you would just like, we're not going to do it.
- 11:17We're just going to lift weights.
- 11:18But we run a lot. So were you?
- 11:20Were you surprised? Yeah, there's a lot of running
- 11:23guys. OK.
- 11:24I ran a 5K like 100 pistols last Saturday.
- 11:26I was not feeling good. By the way, I think, and we'll
- 11:30get back to the, we'll get back to the medical society, but I
- 11:34think we got a couple of comments here about you just
- 11:37killing folks. I don't think people understand
- 11:39how fit Tyler's wife is. She's so fit.
- 11:44Thank you. She's she's pretty.
- 11:45She's pretty impressive. There was a workout that I was I
- 11:48was excited to do. I like I programmed it thinking
- 11:52you'd be good at it, but I know that I'm awful going to be good
- 11:54at it. And I was like, I'm going to
- 11:57tell Jeanette to suck it. Like it's going to be so great.
- 11:59And then I did not beat you. So I did.
- 12:02I didn't even log my score. I was.
- 12:05John So that's so lame. Go log.
- 12:09Your score like 3 reps or three or something like that.
- 12:12But I was, I was just, I was embarrassed.
- 12:15I was beaten down, man. So my lab, my testosterone
- 12:18levels, the lab levels were low that day because.
- 12:23I think you're emotional, like self levels were low that day,
- 12:27but I do. Jeanette's mom strength is
- 12:30amazing and so. Thank you I.
- 12:32Think it's awesome? Too Yeah so how's how's an
- 12:35affiliate owner, gym owner how can they get involved and how do
- 12:39they how do they get up to feel confident and get up to speed to
- 12:42help their. Members yeah, you know, it can
- 12:45be as first step, easy comfort level as you want it to be all
- 12:50the way up to like I'm going to connect with the provider and
- 12:53we're going to run a DPC clinic out of my affiliate.
- 12:56I think because there's a lot of forward facing resources that
- 13:00exist on the cross the medical society's website in the 1st
- 13:04place and just directing your members somewhere to go to learn
- 13:08more about how they can own their health can be as hands off
- 13:10as you want it to be. If you're not, you know, ready
- 13:13to build a whole comprehensive Wellness and you know, on ramp
- 13:17to your whatever, just start there, right, Because it can be
- 13:21a self driven journey for that member.
- 13:25Yeah. And then what are the summits
- 13:27like? What are who, Who are those for,
- 13:29and how can they get more information?
- 13:31About that, yeah. So just to circle back when you
- 13:36know, understanding that there's sometimes a lot to bite off if
- 13:39you are stepping into a space that might be new for you and
- 13:42wanting to do it in a way that you know is safe and appropriate
- 13:46and within scope and can rely on more knowledge and science based
- 13:51explanations of stuff that could help explain why this panel
- 13:55would be a good panel for, you know, somebody coming in to
- 13:57cross it for the first time. We decided, Jeanette, I don't
- 14:00even know why we decided. We just decided that this is
- 14:04where we were going to go with this, that we wanted to bring
- 14:06affiliate owners that were passionate about learning more
- 14:09and doing this work together, give them a space to come for a
- 14:13longer period of time. We've had the opportunity to do,
- 14:18you know, an hour lecture here there, hop on podcast, just kind
- 14:21of do that. But when you start to weave the
- 14:23whole kind of ecosystem together, it just takes a lot of
- 14:27time to unpack it all and in a way that is digestible so that
- 14:31you can feel really good about what your next step should be.
- 14:36A2 day weekend with across the medical society going kind of
- 14:39step by step through all these different pieces.
- 14:42And the cool part is, you know, some of these affiliate owners
- 14:45are bringing their healthcare providers with them, right?
- 14:47Somebody that they've connected with that wants to start to do
- 14:50this work with them, learn what's going to make the most
- 14:52sense for them in their community.
- 14:54And so that's the the hope for the summit above and beyond
- 14:58getting, you know, their CME credit and CE us and stuff.
- 15:01So you do get some some credentialing with that.
- 15:04Yeah. So where are those summits
- 15:05again? You have is there three of them
- 15:07are. Seeing or there's four scheduled
- 15:08right now. There's one in San Diego in a
- 15:11couple weeks, then we'll have another one in Boston at the end
- 15:15of April. I have a Denver one in June and
- 15:18then a Charlotte one in the beginning of November.
- 15:22All of that information, if it's the web guys adding the actual
- 15:26registrations onto the website right now, but they're all
- 15:29LinkedIn, our IG bio. So if you were to go to the IG
- 15:32page, you could find the registration pages for the first
- 15:35few all. Right, let's let's test it out
- 15:37and see. Yeah, the first.
- 15:39See if we can find it. So there and then link tree
- 15:43there. We go.
- 15:48Come on. Work for me.
- 15:51Anyways, it is there, Boston and.
- 15:53They're San Diego. Yeah, San Diego's closed.
- 15:56It's Boston's there. Let's see.
- 16:00Oops. Is your screen frozen?
- 16:02Spin. No, it it opened the new tab.
- 16:05Yeah, there we go. Yep.
- 16:08So Boston's right there. Yep.
- 16:09There we go is. It gonna open a new tab again.
- 16:15Did it? Yes, it did, Making it
- 16:20difficult. Here we go.
- 16:21Yep. So physicians general
- 16:26registration. And then affiliates are
- 16:31underneath there and then that's the breakdown of the days I am.
- 16:35There's a lot more information just on some different IG posts.
- 16:38What's also really cool is that in the 14 days or less, we're
- 16:43gonna have a, a brand new app that supports not only
- 16:47communication for all of the cohorts that are going through
- 16:50the integration summit so they can continue to connect with
- 16:53each other. It's also gonna house a lot of
- 16:56all of our information and everything in the CrossFit
- 16:58medical society. So it's all right at your
- 17:00fingertips and stuff. So we're really excited about
- 17:01that too. Very.
- 17:03Cool. Very cool.
- 17:05Well, I know last time you were on, you talked to us about
- 17:07community care. I've since signed up.
- 17:09I know Tyler and Jeanette have signed up.
- 17:12John, did you? I have.
- 17:13I have not signed up, but Leslie is watching.
- 17:16So make, make, make your pitch for community care, Jen.
- 17:20So I speak to Leslie and Leslie alone, look at the screen deep
- 17:23into her eyes, and tell her this is the way.
- 17:26This is the way Leslie, I'm telling you this is this is the
- 17:29way that you fight back against systemic dysfunction in our
- 17:32healthcare system. You step out of it and you go
- 17:34into a system that prioritizes health.
- 17:36But we do community driven. That's right.
- 17:39Is that good enough? I.
- 17:41Don't. We'll see.
- 17:42I'll see. After the show, I mean.
- 17:45Listen, I signed up for it and then watching all of my Co
- 17:48workers have to go through the corporate insurance process back
- 17:54in December. And then I tell them that, you
- 17:57know, I only have to pay $500 if I have some type of event and go
- 18:00to the hospital and my monthly fees are way less than what
- 18:05they're paying like that. I mean, they don't understand,
- 18:09but it's truly amazing. It's hard to understand because
- 18:13it's not insurance. And so when you go into thinking
- 18:16that you're trying to compare what you know to this new kind
- 18:20of expression of healthcare, it's it's really hard to kind of
- 18:24disconnect what you're conditioned to understand.
- 18:28We do and Jeanette included in all of us over here, like try to
- 18:32be as up to date with what's happening with, you know, just
- 18:36the general market for health insurance.
- 18:39And that's a whole probably different podcast we can do.
- 18:41But so like even it was like yesterday, the day before, when
- 18:44you look at the average mortgage costs for people in the US and
- 18:48what they're paying per month for their mortgage and then what
- 18:51they're paying per month for their health insurance.
- 18:54There are some people that are paying more in health insurance
- 18:56per month than, you know, their $500,000 house that they're
- 18:59paying their mortgage on. So it's really messed up.
- 19:03And it could be financially driven.
- 19:05And that might be why you're interested in, in understanding
- 19:07a different, you know, system of doing things could also be
- 19:10philosophical, right? And it could be because you
- 19:12don't want to keep paying into a system that is set up in a way
- 19:15to make sure that you, you know, stay as sick as possible, Which
- 19:20is really weird because you'd think that they wouldn't want
- 19:22you to be sick, but they want you to be sick, and they just
- 19:24want to then deny you what you are entitled to, right?
- 19:27So it's just this kind of weird. I mean, I think it does also it
- 19:31feels like you're supporting those that are crosswords around
- 19:36you, like, you know, your money is going to those who have
- 19:41similar values. And like you can see it in the
- 19:43contribution history. Like I helped somebody in in
- 19:45Montana for an emergency and a member in Georgia for an
- 19:49illness. So you kind of you kind of see
- 19:52how your how your contributions are going to help those and
- 19:55it's, you know, it's fellow crossfitters that you're helping
- 19:59and it's great. It's.
- 20:01Awesome. So Yep, love it.
- 20:03Yeah, CrossFit Medical Society, go check that out.
- 20:08Then you can. There's links out down there to
- 20:10if you're an affiliate owner, to become part of the hub.
- 20:13Yes. That's right.
- 20:15Well, Vicky. Yeah, go check it out if you're
- 20:19an affiliate owner, if you just want your blood work also there
- 20:22to the health hub, go check it out and kind of get started and
- 20:26see how how you compare to JY in his 90 on his health spectrum.
- 20:35That's all I got to say. Kenneth Scott.
- 20:39Right. And hold on, I'm, I'm going to
- 20:42get off here because I know you guys have lots of cool and
- 20:44exciting shit to talk about. But like when you think about
- 20:47the nature of cross fitters and gamifying everything that we do
- 20:51from a competitive level, my coaches compete with each other
- 20:55to see who has the best health score.
- 20:57And so like they both came in on the same day and one female to
- 21:01the male was like, I don't understand how you're an 82 and
- 21:04I'm a 78 and you and I know what you like.
- 21:07So when you just think about how it plays into our nature and our
- 21:10culture, like it's just it's a fun expression of health that we
- 21:13can bring into the affiliate above and beyond all the
- 21:15benefits to that, it just, you know, no, I mean.
- 21:18I think, I think it, you know, later this month we're all going
- 21:21to test ourselves in the open. I mean, there's definitely a way
- 21:25that you can maybe tie that in and do your biomarkers too in
- 21:29February. And then as you come and see
- 21:31like as you improve every year, what is what is your biomarkers
- 21:36saying then how's how's that expressing?
- 21:39I bet they probably go hand in hand.
- 21:41Yeah, Jen, do we have a community care hashtag for the
- 21:44open? No, but why not?
- 21:48We should. Yeah.
- 21:49We. We have the barbell spin hashtag
- 21:51so. Yeah, everybody should join
- 21:53that. Totally good.
- 21:54I love that. That's a great idea.
- 21:55All right, that'll happen. That's happening.
- 21:58Go add that in, Jen. Thank you, Jeanette.
- 22:02Thank you. Good luck with Braun the rest of
- 22:03the night. Thank you guys over.
- 22:05To Tyler, thank. You.
- 22:06Yeah, we'll be right back. But why?
- 22:47That's right. Where's Tyler?
- 22:49Where's Tyler? Just an empty screen.
- 22:52He's out, yeah. If you guys didn't know where we
- 22:55are, live streaming syndicate crown coming up in 3 1/2 months.
- 23:01So I got all my equipment in John.
- 23:05Oh snap. You ready?
- 23:07I'm ready, but then I might have to make some upgrades.
- 23:12We'll see. Do do we know who all is?
- 23:17Who all is doing it? Not yet.
- 23:20No. We're working through that.
- 23:21We're keeping that, keeping that hush hush, yeah.
- 23:24Yeah, we're. We're not going to announce
- 23:27summary yet. It needs to, we need, we need a,
- 23:30a, a firm yes, not a tentative yes.
- 23:33Got it. So he knows who he is.
- 23:38Or she. Or she actually 2 or or we have
- 23:41both. So let's see Tyler.
- 23:47Bill out of out of sync here. I didn't start the show with the
- 23:52usual commercial. Now trying to get my.
- 23:55Bearings, he waited till you till you came out for the
- 23:59commercial. We got we got 2 commercials so.
- 24:05Unfortunately, Ed Ed says spin. I'll be All's assistant for the
- 24:09weekend. I'll even bunk with JY.
- 24:11I just need a plane ticket. My roommate has already been
- 24:14decided. He does not know who he is yet,
- 24:19but we know who he is and and I'm excited to let him know.
- 24:25It's Braun. I'm just taking care of a baby
- 24:32the whole time. Yeah, that's all you're doing.
- 24:35Tyler and Janette are like, this is great.
- 24:38Yeah, I got a got some time off. Tyler and Janette are the
- 24:43commentary, like John's a little busy right now, but we'll take
- 24:47care of that well. We're going to get into, I call
- 24:52it season chaos, but essentially, like I realized
- 24:58today that nobody knows what's going on in the season right now
- 25:05between athletes not knowing how semi finals work, where they can
- 25:09go, there's multiple online qualifiers going on at the same
- 25:12time, deadlines are different. It's just insane.
- 25:17I brought back blind rankings and then we'll talk a little bit
- 25:19about our world fitness project and all that stuff.
- 25:22But first, viewer comments last week.
- 25:30Well, what is that? That's not it.
- 25:32Let's see. They can't show.
- 25:34They can't show that. Can't show all the details.
- 25:36No, he's exposed himself. Did you see that we got there
- 25:43was some streamer that had that streamed his Bitcoin key?
- 25:47No. And within like minutes,
- 25:50$100,000 was wiped out of his. You can't.
- 25:54You can't. You got to know better.
- 25:57Yeah, yeah. Well, last week we had a great
- 26:03politician, Mr. Bill, President Bill Clinton.
- 26:07Do we have a new one? We have, we have, we have
- 26:09another guest. He's not.
- 26:11I don't think he's really a politician.
- 26:13I think some might have thought he could be a politician, but
- 26:17it's. Not reincarnated Charlie Kirk,
- 26:19is it? It is not OK.
- 26:21Yeah. Because I don't.
- 26:22Kanye. Remember Charlie Kirk?
- 26:27The Kanye. No, he was almost a politician,
- 26:31dude. So here we go.
- 26:34I'll, I'll just let you guys be surprised of who reads off the
- 26:38first, who reads off the comments today.
- 26:40All right, here we go. John I heard were a big fan of
- 26:44the Hulk so this is for you at Kate Cam Meyer.
- 26:49Jason is a great guy, glad he is a leader in the space.
- 26:54Thanks for highlighting this work even though it hurts spin
- 26:56to give a nod to WFP. Also Abby is the best hype girl
- 27:01punctuating points. All right, that's right.
- 27:04All right, that's right. Hey, hey, hey, Mr. Hulk.
- 27:09That's right. Appreciate you, brother.
- 27:12Yeah. Did it hurt bad?
- 27:14Rest in peace. You just have to give itself
- 27:19some time like that was last week, right?
- 27:22And now look at this week and we got we'll get to it.
- 27:25I mean, you see it, it's at the end, but I don't feel so bad,
- 27:28right? Now he has UPS and doubts.
- 27:31If you react to everything that happens, you're going to be
- 27:34disappointed, but. It's a tumultuous relationship.
- 27:38We know how it's going to end up going, so yeah.
- 27:43And Jason Ansley, great dude. Thanks for coming on, Jason.
- 27:47Yeah, monster games online qualifier before we move on.
- 27:50Yeah. Do we want to talk about that?
- 27:51Yeah, yeah, Tyler, I need to see.
- 27:57You I I I did pretty decent I thought.
- 28:05I think you did good too. There's a girl I do workouts
- 28:09like that with and she was like, she had heard us say that she
- 28:12wanted to do it, heard that we wanted to do it, and so she was
- 28:15like, I'll do it with you. And I was like, dope, So we do
- 28:17it. She crushed you.
- 28:19Yeah, well, should be be like 40 seconds or something.
- 28:24But I felt. Great on the toes bars, for
- 28:27those who don't know what we're talking about, two rounds, 50
- 28:31toes to bar, 50 line facing burpees, and then you go into a
- 28:35Max snatch for three. You just have to have three
- 28:39consecutive yeah, you have to hit the same snatch 3 times for
- 28:42it to count. Toast bar went great.
- 28:45I opened with like 15 and then just did sevens from there both
- 28:48both rounds. I opened with five.
- 28:51Yeah, I made-up time on that. And then my burpees were just so
- 28:57slow. They were just like they were a
- 29:00steady pace the whole time. Like if you had to do like 300,
- 29:03that's the pace that I was doing, I mean.
- 29:07That's kind of like your pace on the Norcal qualifier.
- 29:09Yes, I don't know what's happened, but like my burpee
- 29:12pace is just that's. Like Jeanette, do that workout.
- 29:15She was, yeah. Just tap it.
- 29:17She'd murder that. That's.
- 29:19My point? She'd do. 30 unbroken and then
- 29:21like rest 15 seconds do the other 20 and then anyway 1222.
- 29:28Solid. I'm OK with it.
- 29:31With the amount of training that I've been doing, it's been, I
- 29:33mean, there's been weeks, like multiple weeks in a row that
- 29:36I've just trained 3 times for an hour long.
- 29:38So I was pretty happy with it. I, I feel like I was telling my
- 29:42training partner, I was like, I think I'm just going to start
- 29:45warming up doing like 100 burpees, like all different
- 29:49types of styles, whether that's IMAM or whatever, just so I can
- 29:53because the Open's going to slaughter me if I don't get my
- 29:56burpees under control. Everything else is basically
- 29:59fine. Go into the snatch.
- 30:06Everything else is good. Now talk about what something.
- 30:09How bad it was? Well, so I have like what is
- 30:14that 3 1/2 minutes to do the to do the to do the three snatches.
- 30:20So I hit 95 for one. I hit, I warmed up the snatch
- 30:25John Zero. I basically didn't do any
- 30:28snatches of going into this workout. 135 for one felt not
- 30:32great, but it was I was like, it's going to feel better as my
- 30:36heart rate goes down. Problem is you ain't got a whole
- 30:39lot of time in 3 1/2 minutes, get your heart rate down.
- 30:42And I hit 170, miss it, 30 seconds left, 20 seconds left.
- 30:48And I was just like, well, I'm not going to get a score on that
- 30:50part. So I text John and I was like,
- 30:56there's no damn way you hit what you said.
- 30:58You're going to hit. Like my heart rate was so high.
- 31:03I did not think he was going to do well in this workout.
- 31:05And. What was my response to you?
- 31:09I can't remember what you say. I said you are not me when it
- 31:14comes to. I remember that conversation a
- 31:16little differently than you are framing it.
- 31:20I voice memoned it. Did you save it?
- 31:26Did you listen to those voice memos?
- 31:28They were incomprehensible. It's sounded like this right
- 31:32here. What's the sorry?
- 31:34I'm sorry I didn't. Listen to my own voice memos.
- 31:39But I had a different experience.
- 31:43We we did the workout differently.
- 31:47I did fives the entire time on the first round and I was done
- 31:52with the toaster bar in 2 1/2 minutes and I was like this is
- 31:55stop and then my burpee pace. I went pretty quick for about
- 32:0230. Did you draw a line or did you
- 32:05just use like a seam? There's a, there's a yeah seam
- 32:08in the floor, OK, there's, there's lines in the floor and
- 32:12then. See, I used the barbell with no
- 32:15plates on it, so I should probably get credit for that.
- 32:17You, I mean you, No, you did extra.
- 32:19Work. Yeah.
- 32:21The I'm I'm pretty good at burpees when it's not in like a
- 32:2715 minute AMRAP. Like if it's just one string of
- 32:30burpee. If it's just one thing.
- 32:31We've talked about this before. Chunk burpees.
- 32:33If it's just one thing, I'm pretty good at it.
- 32:36And then I just treated it like it was 4 things of one thing.
- 32:40It wasn't like an AMRAP where you go back and forth.
- 32:44Four things of one thing. You you know what I'm saying
- 32:47though? Like like a a chipper fashion.
- 32:49I'm much, much better than like an AMRAP where you just rotate
- 32:52the whole time. The transitions is what gets my
- 32:55lungs all out of. Yeah, whack chair gets in the
- 32:57way. Yeah.
- 32:59Exactly, exactly. And I finished the first round
- 33:04in like 5 minutes. And then and then I got a lot
- 33:10slower. So I toast the bar.
- 33:12I did fives through 30 and then I did 20 singles or 2525 or 30,
- 33:18I don't remember which one. But then I did 20 singles in the
- 33:20way that I was doing it in the video.
- 33:21And they felt so fast doing it like that.
- 33:24And I was pretty slow for about 15 burpees.
- 33:29And then I picked it up for about 15 burpees.
- 33:31And then I just sprinted the last 20 burpees and, and then
- 33:35that was my time and it hurt a lot.
- 33:36My time was 1057. Crazy.
- 33:40So you have. 4 minutes. So you have 4 minutes to do some
- 33:42snatches. 5. Was it 16 minutes 16?
- 33:46Minutes time cap and then I I had I did snatch.
- 33:49I snatched it 225 before and then I was it and I was that was
- 33:54going to be my first lift was 225 and I did that and I hated
- 33:58it. It all of it felt really bad and
- 34:00I was like, I don't want to do very many of these because that
- 34:05that felt terrible. So.
- 34:07So I did not think you were going to go over 225.
- 34:10I was like, there's no chance he goes over 225.
- 34:13Zero with how bad it felt. I was like.
- 34:18You had less time too. That's true.
- 34:20And I thought about that later. I was like, I had so much less
- 34:23time. And then I went after the, after
- 34:27I felt what 225 felt like I'm like, there's not going to be a
- 34:30safe number. I'm either just going to hit
- 34:32something good or I'm not going to have a score.
- 34:34And I did 245 for one and it didn't feel any better than 225.
- 34:41But but it's and then I just waited for two minutes.
- 34:45I was like, all right, I'm going to put 275 on the bar and I'm
- 34:47just going to wait for two minutes and then we're going to
- 34:49do 3 and 60 seconds. That's what we're going to do
- 34:52you. Risked it all.
- 34:53Yeah, because I just needed to rest.
- 34:56Like, it's not like the weight's stopping me.
- 34:59I did 245. I just feel terrible.
- 35:02Your shoulders and your hips and your ABS all feel terrible.
- 35:05So I put 275 on. I sat down on a chair for two
- 35:10minutes, and then and then I went and 1st snatch felt fine.
- 35:15No, no, no, no. First snatch felt fine.
- 35:17And then I did the other two and did and did 275.
- 35:21And I was like, all right, that feels like a pretty good score.
- 35:24That's crazy. But yeah, I think Hecker did
- 35:27that thing in eight O 3. I think you just came out too
- 35:30hot. I I don't think so.
- 35:32My pace on the Tozabar was my that's.
- 35:35What I'm saying, you're proud of your pace on the Tozabar.
- 35:38Go slow on the Tozabar. But the second set of Tozabar
- 35:42didn't feel bad, like I was fine and the.
- 35:45Burpees is the workout. Right, I agree.
- 35:49I just think like I have this, I have like this Cliff that I hit
- 35:54around 8 minutes right now where it's like that's everything my
- 35:58motor has left is 8 minutes. And then after it's just like,
- 36:02and I remember looking at the clock coming off of those toast
- 36:05bar, that last set of toast bar and being like, oh, I'm fine.
- 36:08And then just. What was your time on the on the
- 36:12actual Medcom piece? 11:00 or 12:22.
- 36:17So those last fifty were. Yeah, I was so slow.
- 36:21I was so slow. But you had to think how you you
- 36:23feel so slow. I beat you by a minute and
- 36:26change 15 seconds. Right with burpees is not crazy.
- 36:29Like you can make that time up if you're not totally lazy,
- 36:32which I was. And, and I actually think the
- 36:35single totem bar that I did like really helped my lungs.
- 36:38Out. I thought about that because
- 36:39there was that open workout. I can't remember what it was
- 36:44paired with. It was a gated workout, but it
- 36:47was, yeah, people were, people were just doing toes to bar
- 36:51singles and like getting through.
- 36:53And I was like, that's such bullshit.
- 36:55But it's, I mean, it's fair. I think if I did it how you did
- 36:58it, Tyler, I would be slower. You would crash.
- 37:01I would be slower than you. Now, I'm not saying like you, if
- 37:06you did it the way I did it, you'd be faster than me.
- 37:08That's not what I'm saying. But I do think I'd be slower
- 37:10than you if I did it the way you did it.
- 37:11Hiller Hiller made this video, I think it was this.
- 37:14Week and also you got to think like we were just that crash and
- 37:17I was fitter than you like you know, it's just I think I'm I
- 37:22think I'm just fitter than you. I'm quitting CrossFit actually.
- 37:24No, I don't think. The thing is, if you ever got it
- 37:27together, I got a ceiling on my aerobic threshold.
- 37:31I got a ceiling on my on my weightlifting threshold.
- 37:36Yeah, yeah, but Hillary 5 lbs like.
- 37:40Hillary made a video this week or last week, I can't remember,
- 37:44but he was talking about like your first and your last round
- 37:49should be roughly close together and it is.
- 37:54Never been my. Style.
- 37:55I've never done that. And I was like, dude, I've been
- 37:58doing CrossFit 14 years and I'm still not doing it.
- 38:00He's talking about burnout. And I was like, man, would you?
- 38:04Are you just making this video for me right now?
- 38:06It's. My preaching to a lot of people,
- 38:08right? There, Yeah, it was good, yeah.
- 38:12All right, let's see what Hulk has to stay next.
- 38:18If Barbed Wire Cat love the show, I must say that because I
- 38:23watch every week. But John has two choices.
- 38:26Get your mouth close to the mic like Tyler or put sound
- 38:30absorption in that room. It's like there's an echo when
- 38:33he speaks. I don't hear it with anyone
- 38:34else. Keep up the good work, boys.
- 38:38Listen brother, you don't come to my show and talk bad on me.
- 38:44I will pick you up from the grave and put you back in it.
- 38:48We need some some sound absorption there, John.
- 38:50Right, the big Tis does not play.
- 38:52Around the big tis do you guys follow the talking real talking
- 38:58fish news? Never heard of it.
- 39:00It's the. It's the fish, the.
- 39:02Real talking fish. News.
- 39:03It's the fish from SpongeBob. It'll just pop up and he's like
- 39:07a news anchor and it'll just be like this.
- 39:09I got it. I know it's on my.
- 39:10Yep. Yep, and I think Hogan should be
- 39:14like our version. So like when we release news,
- 39:16you just have him come up with the snippet of like that.
- 39:19Him talking, Yeah, we can do that.
- 39:21We can do that. All right, let's see what else
- 39:24we got this week. Autistic killer Tyler, you said
- 39:28no to Emma Lawson and yes to Claudia Gluck.
- 39:31This is why the games mountain is John Young's games Mountain
- 39:34and not Tyler's Games Mountain. At Bonita.
- 39:39That's the preview of the next one.
- 39:43Next one. Yeah, yeah, John and I.
- 39:47That's why John and I pair so well.
- 39:49John does his thing. I do my thing, that's why we
- 39:52also. Don't run over each other.
- 39:54There's zero chance Claudia Gluck beats Emma Lawson.
- 39:57We have our roles, yeah. Yeah, mine is unfounded.
- 40:02Speculation and hope and hope. Yeah, and mine is what's going
- 40:08to happen. Rebellions are built on hope,
- 40:10yeah. All right, Next up.
- 40:13At Benita L, I'll say it again, John, this praying on weekend
- 40:18line is cringy and tiring. It's the same mindset used
- 40:22throughout history to excuse men's behavior by blaming women
- 40:25for tempting them. Grown men are responsible for
- 40:28their own choices. What do you think, John?
- 40:33It's ancestors incredible. This is not blaming women.
- 40:41I'm saying men are pathetic and women take advantage of pathetic
- 40:49men. I think both party.
- 40:52I think both parties. Are small.
- 40:54It's like the first half people are like, OK.
- 40:57And then had us in the first half, man.
- 41:00The the it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's both of us.
- 41:04It's both sexes, OK? It's not.
- 41:07I'm not singling out one. It's everybody's fault.
- 41:10Person No, it it, it's the world's fault, I think.
- 41:13I think we live in a fallen state.
- 41:15I think society is sad and we over sexualize literally
- 41:21everything. And I think men, I think a lot
- 41:27of men, a lot of percentage of men are pathetic and weak and
- 41:32it's their fault. And I think there are women that
- 41:35take advantage of that. And I don't think that's all
- 41:39that like hot of a take. I just I and I'm just not a fan.
- 41:44I know a lot of men like like, dude, you're on crack.
- 41:46It's great. Cool.
- 41:47I disagree. So let me put this in another
- 41:51term, a less contentious term. I run Heat 1, which is does not
- 41:57have a gambling function yet. But you know, we would hope for
- 42:00that sort of thing. People hate.
- 42:02People hate gambling and they, they use the same sort of line.
- 42:05And I was here in Pennsylvania, there's all these like those
- 42:09button gambling machines, like it'll just roll up, you know,
- 42:12777 or whatever. And I, if I go into the gas
- 42:16station at 7:00 in the morning, people are in there on those
- 42:18machines and I'm like, this is gross.
- 42:21Like I, they can do whatever they want.
- 42:25I don't fault them for wanting to do that.
- 42:27I think it's bad for them, yeah, but like, I really kind of fault
- 42:30the state for letting people do that at.
- 42:32But at the same time like you have your free will and you can
- 42:35control what you want to do and I don't.
- 42:37Want to they're addicted the state is taking advantage of
- 42:41their addiction and that is what some women do with but but.
- 42:45At the same time, I don't want the state to control like if
- 42:49whoever wants to put up a gambling machine like I want to
- 42:52start, I would love to have heat one be a gambling outlet and I
- 42:58don't want the government to control.
- 42:59That pray on those weak men. To pray on those weak men.
- 43:03Dude, let me tell you, women are just as bad gamblers as men.
- 43:07That's. True.
- 43:13OK. Is that is that a fair
- 43:14reasoning? It's a reasoning.
- 43:18It is reasoning. I feel like my position, I feel
- 43:21like my position is pretty clear on it.
- 43:23It makes people uncomfortable. I understand where you're coming
- 43:27from. Do you pass the Ty Jenkins test?
- 43:31Would it be a strike? I don't.
- 43:33Probably. If you buy, if you if you put
- 43:38your money in. Those those are just tip lines.
- 43:40Those are tip lines. If you call the gambling help
- 43:42lines, it's to help you get out of debt.
- 43:46No. OK, bet on this one.
- 43:49Double, double or nothing. You're going about this all
- 43:53wrong. Let me give you the hits this.
- 43:54Week. This is the lock of the week.
- 43:56We'll get you out of that red. You get some fool like me
- 43:59telling you. I have a gambling problem.
- 44:03Here's the lock of the week. Go for.
- 44:04It let me, let me, let me let. Me here we'll be.
- 44:06We'll be John's on this. No, no.
- 44:08No, no. And we'll be done with it after
- 44:10this. We'll be done with it after
- 44:11this. If I know, I know like don't
- 44:15get, don't get on me about this. I know everybody does not
- 44:19believe in Jesus and are and it's not like this applies to
- 44:23everybody. So comments don't go crazy, but
- 44:26it does to me, right? Jesus rules my heart.
- 44:32And I want you to think, do you think Jesus, if he was here,
- 44:38would approve of certain things that I'm talking about?
- 44:42Do you think he would approve of what Danny Spiegel puts on her
- 44:45Instagram? Do you think you'd be like,
- 44:47that's God, That's God loving right there.
- 44:50And and if the answer is no, that's what I'm saying.
- 44:54And it's OK that if you don't have to believe what I believe,
- 44:57but that's where I'm coming from when I say that.
- 45:01So if you want to say that's cringy, I'll do it.
- 45:04Go like, cool, good for you. I'm not going to stop saying you
- 45:08don't got to watch the show. Mary Magdalene was a prostitute,
- 45:12and I'm not saying you're wrong about what you just said.
- 45:15And she got out of it, dude. Like she was staying, right?
- 45:18She was like, I'm following that guy and doing away with what I
- 45:23used to do. But Jesus gave her a chance.
- 45:27You should give Danny a chance. You should give Danny a chance.
- 45:30Chill, right? And I'm not.
- 45:32I'm listen. I'm not.
- 45:33She'll be on the JY barbell. Program.
- 45:35How about this? How about this?
- 45:36How about this I, we'll give it two days because I'm going to
- 45:41pre emptively like give it 2 days and somebody out there give
- 45:45this to Danny Spiegel and this will be your chance.
- 45:47I'm going to follow Danny Spiegel in two days, OK.
- 45:50And the second I see something that I think is not worth
- 45:57looking at, I am, I am unfollowing and blocking and I
- 46:01know she probably cares about this zero, but that will be the
- 46:04chance that I give her. OK?
- 46:07Is that fair? OK, great.
- 46:10You don't think that's fair? I bet you in 24 hours it happens
- 46:14and I'm going to type in strike and.
- 46:21Jeanette with the with the fire come up scared.
- 46:23Money don't make money. That's how you play.
- 46:26That's right. So that's how it works.
- 46:29Whenever Heat 1 has that gambling, you just start
- 46:32throwing that money in there. What?
- 46:33I had never seen that word morally.
- 46:37Squalid. Squalid.
- 46:39What's squalid? Define squalid.
- 46:41I don't know what squalid is. Can name some capital out in the
- 46:46middle of nowhere, but he can't tell me what squalid means.
- 46:49This is this is. This is great.
- 46:50Squalid is, that's an adjective, extremely dirty or unpleasant.
- 46:58Oh no. Or showing or involving
- 47:00contemplable lack of moral standards.
- 47:05I think he says in my honest opinion, Jason was a judge who's
- 47:07going on towards more towards a pure life.
- 47:09That's that. I don't disagree completely with
- 47:10you Joe. Why?
- 47:10I'm not judging. This is just what my opinion is.
- 47:15If asked about, that's it. I'm asked about it.
- 47:20I'm giving my opinion. We do not deny this.
- 47:23So yeah, anyway, let's see. I think we have one more from
- 47:29the Hulk and then I think, let's see.
- 47:33All right, boys, all right, boys, last one at Kyle Dotson
- 47:40VFLFL the Jed darn the one in darn.
- 47:46I like make it even better if they have a in person last
- 47:50chance qualifier, but you can only do the last chance
- 47:52qualifier if you went to a semi final and placed top ten or
- 47:56something like that. This model would be great in my
- 47:58opinion. Say your prayers, take your
- 48:01vitamins, and Hulkamania will live forever.
- 48:06That's right. Did you add that list last?
- 48:09No. I mean, that's, that's the Hulk.
- 48:12You just had to sign off. That's how you sign off as a as
- 48:14the Hulk I. Want to make that a thing?
- 48:21In person, last chance qualifier.
- 48:24No, it's never going to work. It could this year, though.
- 48:29It could have worked this year. I said it last year, they should
- 48:32have gone out to Albany on Monday and had three workouts in
- 48:37person. If you want to, if you want to
- 48:38try to make it, you go make it. You're at a disadvantage to
- 48:42qualify. Games.
- 48:43I'm all for making them murder themselves for seven days.
- 48:46I am completely for that. Well no, they just come out for
- 48:48a day, do 3 workouts. You could do it at the ranch
- 48:51this year. But before the actual games.
- 48:53Before the Yeah, Monday, before the games, you're there.
- 48:57You know, we could watch it and see who qualifies and then they
- 49:00could be like the underdog. It's like the play in game of
- 49:02the NCAA tournament. Yeah, it's a tune up like like I
- 49:05I would be all about it, I think, but I accept except games
- 49:10is on Thursday, right? Yeah, it should be on.
- 49:12Well, they say Friday, but it's going to be Thursday.
- 49:14Right, it should be on Wednesday.
- 49:15No, I like Monday. No, I going.
- 49:17For the game, no. It's like the it's, it's the PGA
- 49:21Tour on Monday. They have the play in.
- 49:24Anybody can come in there and try to play their way in all
- 49:26right. All right, I'm all for this.
- 49:29I think it's would be amazing. I.
- 49:32Could go for this. It's better than online, but.
- 49:36And then you're at the games, and if you don't make it, you
- 49:38can just sit there. You can watch, shake hands, kiss
- 49:40babies, sponsors. Yeah, it's a good idea.
- 49:46Always good of ideas. I believe the age group games is
- 49:51at the actual games so we will be there.
- 49:55Depends if you want to get there early enough.
- 49:57That's Tuesday. Wednesday.
- 49:58Thursday I see. What you're saying I will follow
- 50:02or. Depends the the teenagers are at
- 50:04the same time as the other, so technically yes.
- 50:07I don't know if being there an entire week might get a little
- 50:11rough, but it is all right. You guys need to drop some
- 50:17comments down there. Ask us some questions.
- 50:19You never know who will read us comments next week.
- 50:23Yeah, don't be afraid to ask anything you want.
- 50:25Make it philosophical. Make it make it anything.
- 50:28Make it personal. We'll we'll answer anything.
- 50:33Yeah. There you go.
- 50:34And you're directed at Tyler. You know, that'd be cool too.
- 50:36I don't know. They all got to be directed at
- 50:38me. I'll start with you, Tyler.
- 50:43Mm Hmm, can't if if somebody walked up to you and said
- 50:46explain the 2025 CrossFit game season in one minute, could you
- 50:52do it? Yeah, it would start with.
- 50:55Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, spin.
- 50:57You got a clock and. Starts with the Open.
- 51:02Everybody in the world can do the Open After, Oh no, after the
- 51:06Open. There are qualifying events,
- 51:08some of those. Qualifying or semifinals?
- 51:10Some of those semifinals had qualifiers before the open.
- 51:15Anybody can basically go to any qualifier except for if it's in
- 51:19the Nope. You can get invites to go to the
- 51:24semifinals. If you make it in one semifinal.
- 51:29You can go to some semifinals but not other semifinals.
- 51:32You you can make money but not have to qualify for the games
- 51:37and then top two or three from basically every semi final go to
- 51:42the games. There's also a last chance
- 51:44qualifier that's held remotely. The CrossFit Games is the
- 51:47ultimate test of fitness. All these athletes who qualify
- 51:49for the Games are the trying to be the fittest on earth.
- 51:54With seven seconds of spare dude, Pedro will be proud.
- 51:59I haven't fooled. I, I really, I really wish that
- 52:02Pedro was still doing around the whiteboard because that'd be a
- 52:05great question. Explain the Explain the season
- 52:08in one minute. That would be amazing.
- 52:09That would be a fantastic question.
- 52:11Can you clip that? And then just I just want to see
- 52:14what people. Say clip what I just did.
- 52:16Yeah, yeah, yeah. Just clip them.
- 52:18Yes. You want me to try?
- 52:25I'll see if you can give it a shot.
- 52:27All right, let's see and go all. Right.
- 52:31So it's it's all about the Games.
- 52:33This is how we get to the Games, the CrossFit Games, the ultimate
- 52:36test of fitness to test for the fittest man and woman in the
- 52:38world. Everybody starts with the open,
- 52:41lower tier fitness, more accessible.
- 52:44The top 10%, about 25% from the open make quarterfinals.
- 52:50These workouts are a little bit harder.
- 52:51You got 5 workouts in three days.
- 52:54If you're in the top 2000 in the world for men and women then you
- 52:58go to semi finals. Semi finals are in person,
- 53:01everything else was online and semi finals you got to make the
- 53:04top three or the top 2 just depending on how top one,
- 53:08depending on how big the competition is.
- 53:10Eventually you get the 30 best guys and women that go to the
- 53:15games and then the CrossFit games is a big week long fitness
- 53:19test. A gauntlet to find the fittest
- 53:22man and woman in the world. You forgot the last chance
- 53:27qualifier. I don't care about the last.
- 53:30It matters. That was a little bit cleaner
- 53:32than Tyler's. A little bit.
- 53:34Something I did not mention that I wish I would have mentioned,
- 53:37but it's hard to mention it because you're trying to move on
- 53:40is online semi finals. That's a hard thing to wrap into
- 53:44a minute, though, if you're trying to explain the whole
- 53:45thing, you know what I mean, because it's it's after the in
- 53:48person, it's seven people, like a random number, right?
- 53:52It's it's like that's that's that.
- 53:55I wish I would have mentioned that rather than that.
- 53:58I feel like that was pretty good.
- 53:59Yeah, it's. So bad it.
- 54:01Wasn't it's hard to retain all of it though.
- 54:05Yeah, it's our job. Should I try?
- 54:09To explain. Right, right.
- 54:12Should I try? Yes, yes.
- 54:13Then go, let's go and and five seconds.
- 54:17I got you. I'll keep track for you and go.
- 54:20All right. So the normal the the standard
- 54:22structure is the open, quarterfinals, semifinals in
- 54:27games and 25% go from the open to quarterfinals.
- 54:31The top 2000 are eligible for semifinals and those that are
- 54:36competed A semifinal, which one of 11 I think it is, can then
- 54:40qualify in person to compete at the games.
- 54:42There's also an online qualifier that allows 7 athletes.
- 54:45Then make it to the games where the top 30 men and 30 women will
- 54:48compete. Teams do not do quarterfinals.
- 54:51Teams do have some opportunities to do in person events.
- 54:55They do mostly in the online, but that's not in the end of the
- 54:58season, it's in the middle of the season.
- 54:59Some of the ways to get into the semifinals use quarterfinals.
- 55:05Some use their own qualifiers. Some use in person events like
- 55:10TCB and South in the Argentina throwdown.
- 55:13Some use quarterfinals for Europe only Renegades did
- 55:17something different and that's the games.
- 55:25Clip. I think we should clip all three
- 55:26of them and then have people vote.
- 55:29Which ones? Which ones?
- 55:30Yeah, do, yeah, because Tyler, I mean, but.
- 55:37He got to sell it with excitement.
- 55:39I I didn't get a lot of cross, but I was excited about it.
- 55:44You're doing so good to the semi finals, then it then it went
- 55:46went a whole bunch different ways.
- 55:49So. All right.
- 55:51Off. Base going into this season,
- 55:57people are complaining how things change all the time and
- 55:59I'm like dude, I kind of like how it changes a little bit here
- 56:02and there and then I started looking at this week.
- 56:08Those are the qualifier workouts though PC.
- 56:11Those are just the qualifiers. They don't matter.
- 56:13It's just fine and we'll find out if it's truly late tomorrow
- 56:17for the French throwdown. But then as I got into this,
- 56:21like the last seven days, like right now there's the French
- 56:25throwdowns on going on right now you have Copa Sewer online
- 56:29qualifiers going on right now you have the French or the the
- 56:32Far East Throwdown classic, which is the online qualifier
- 56:36for the Far East throwdown. And like they're all different.
- 56:44They all have different qualification methods.
- 56:48The French throwdown weeks workouts 1 and 2 are due a week
- 56:52later. Copa Sewer is like week event 1
- 56:57is due today and then event 2 is due 2 days from now and then
- 57:01event 3 is like 4 days from now. Like it just like staggers on
- 57:06Safari's throwdown's like this big long one that you can do one
- 57:08of them's a 10K row. And I have people messaging me
- 57:12asking about, well, I can't do Syndicate because it's in the,
- 57:16because I'm in the West or what semifinals can I still do the
- 57:24Open's not starting And you're like, where can I do?
- 57:26Where, where can I compete as in a semifinal?
- 57:29And I'm like, if you're in the United States, I'm like, well,
- 57:31Syndicate, you're fine, right? Right.
- 57:34Legends you're. Fine, you're OK.
- 57:37Yeah, Legends, you're fine because you can qualify through
- 57:40quarterfinals. Same with Syndicate.
- 57:43Mayhem's invite only, so you're probably screwed on that one.
- 57:48And Norcal's the same weekend as Syndicate, but the online
- 57:51qualifier is already over, so of the four semifinals, you can
- 57:57only technically probably be in three, unless you're one of the
- 58:00top top athletes for Mayhem. Yeah.
- 58:03Two were on the same weekend, one of those the qualifiers
- 58:06already done a month before the Open starts.
- 58:14I would love to see a flow chart.
- 58:17For the IT would look like like Charlie Day.
- 58:21It would look like Charlie Day. That net meme with Charlie on
- 58:24Always Sunny in Philadelphia. Yes, you know what I'm talking.
- 58:27About have you seen like the the Star Wars, like the timeline of
- 58:33Star Wars and it's like got all these jumps and stuff in it.
- 58:36That's that's what I feel like it would look like.
- 58:38It's like, wait wait, you have to backtrack to here.
- 58:41Yeah. And look, I I get that.
- 58:44I don't speak Portuguese. Yet do you?
- 58:48Want me to translate? Yes.
- 58:51And so like again, some of these, first of all the websites
- 58:55that a lot of these competitions have is very hard to find the
- 58:58information you need. And then you got stuff like this
- 59:03that this is how you qualify for Copa Sewer.
- 59:08So there's three ways results in previous in person events.
- 59:15So last year's Copa Sewer podium gets invited, the TCB 2025 top
- 59:21two men and women and the Argentina Throwdown top 20, top
- 59:242 from 2025. What is this?
- 59:26Military we need to know that many acronyms.
- 59:30Yes, and then there's squiggly lines for the the two.
- 59:34Those should be 1 BLOB. That loop really pissed me off
- 59:39those. All it's just show confusion.
- 59:42Yeah. So those athletes are are
- 59:44qualified from last year's in person competition.
- 59:48They likely did them before they even knew that that was an
- 59:51option. Then you have the online
- 59:53qualifier that's going on right now.
- 59:55The online qualifier is the TCB for All qualifier.
- 59:59That's actually for the 2026 TCB competition, but it's also for
- 1:00:05Copa Sewer. That's the name of. 2 for one
- 1:00:07baby sign up you get you get. Both and then they can invite
- 1:00:11one person with a wild card and then everybody, if you actually
- 1:00:17are going to compete at Copa Sewer, I do give them credit for
- 1:00:19this. You have to make it through
- 1:00:21quarterfinals top 2000. So no, none of this like I'm
- 1:00:25outside the season. I'm just going to come in and
- 1:00:27take your money or compete just for fun.
- 1:00:29You have to be part of the season.
- 1:00:33That needs to be that's. Just one, not.
- 1:00:35Connected box with just an asterisk.
- 1:00:38Right, The French throwdown right now, that's going on where
- 1:00:42scores were due this afternoon. 20 athletes are worldwide from
- 1:00:48this online qualify. That's going on right now.
- 1:00:50The other twenty are top are from the quarterfinals on the
- 1:00:54European leaderboard, only on them for the Rebel Renegades
- 1:01:00game, Rebel Renegade Games. Had they had a in person like
- 1:01:05showcase this past weekend to see who would qualify, they'd
- 1:01:08like 88 men and women or something like that competing to
- 1:01:11do it. We're 3 1/2, three weeks and a
- 1:01:15day away from the start of the Open and all of this stuff is
- 1:01:19going on. People are starting to think
- 1:01:21about the season and a lot of your options are done like by
- 1:01:27Saturday you can no longer get in the Copasur unless you get a
- 1:01:31one wild card. If you're outside the French
- 1:01:33Throwdown. If if you're outside of Europe,
- 1:01:36the French throwdown's out for you.
- 1:01:38Far East Throwdown is underway soon.
- 1:01:41I think the this February 6th Friday is the deadline for that
- 1:01:46for the qualifier. Norcal's already done Mayhem's
- 1:01:49invite only like of all these options.
- 1:01:54I you know what I'm hearing from all of this?
- 1:01:57Try to get into syndicate. It's all I hear.
- 1:02:01Out the Knoxville, I mean. What's the solution it's been?
- 1:02:09There's got to be some type of consistency.
- 1:02:12Just everybody take from the quarterfinals and then you
- 1:02:16accept or deny and you just keep going down the.
- 1:02:17List. So I mean, I know that like
- 1:02:19Mayhem's in a pickle because by the time the leaderboard is
- 1:02:22finalized, it's probably too late.
- 1:02:24I think that and Legends, they're like really close
- 1:02:27back-to-back. Legends is somehow going to try
- 1:02:28to do it. But like like you're if it's
- 1:02:33copasur, like you use half just South America and the other half
- 1:02:37you just invite. I'm not totally opposed to that,
- 1:02:40I guess I think, but I mean, looking at the Copasur
- 1:02:44leaderboard which is on champychampy.com, yeah.
- 1:02:51Big fan of Champy. Me too.
- 1:02:53Yeah, So it's not even on competition corner, they're on
- 1:02:55Champy. Not to be confused.
- 1:02:58Not to be confused with Choppy the robot.
- 1:03:01Movie or not to be confused with Lake Champlain's monster, Loch
- 1:03:05Ness Monster. Champy The.
- 1:03:07Monster like that? Yeah, look, Josh Felix, he is
- 1:03:12leading the TCB for All qualifier.
- 1:03:17Congratulations, Josh. Yeah, he was at the syndicate
- 1:03:20last year. He was.
- 1:03:23Yeah, so again. Yeah, I followed Josh recently.
- 1:03:28He's a good guy. He's putting out some good
- 1:03:30content on how to move. Isn't that Jorge?
- 1:03:32For now, Jorge Jesus. Jorge's on a team, so this is
- 1:03:36also for the team qualifier, but you're on the individual
- 1:03:38qualifier. Then they at some point add they
- 1:03:40don't, they have a team section, but their teams aren't listed
- 1:03:43yet. So I think it's probably like a
- 1:03:44manual thing or something so. Oh, Isaiah Vidal, do you know
- 1:03:51who that is? Yeah.
- 1:03:53He's out West, right? He was like a high rocks guy
- 1:03:55that did came over and did CrossFit.
- 1:03:56Dude this this this dude was like a a Spartan guy that tried
- 1:04:00to give Hunter a run for his money way way back in the day.
- 1:04:05Bad idea. Dalton Rogers.
- 1:04:07There he is, 45th. Paige Powers.
- 1:04:11Happened, Yeah. Let's see the women's side.
- 1:04:17Caroline Ferreira, she was at syndicate last year.
- 1:04:21So Miley Wade, you should be going down to Copa Sewer.
- 1:04:27Annika Greer. Annika Greer, Letitia, Victor.
- 1:04:34Elena, Rick Latisha. Yeah.

- 1:04:45Cakes. Martinez cakes, Right.
- 1:04:48Oh, Andrea Pinero. Nice.
- 1:04:52Ariel Sanders. She's a great.
- 1:04:54I like her. She's a good girl.
- 1:04:56Yeah. Brute Athlete.
- 1:05:00Sasha. Sasha Davis.
- 1:05:02Way down. I mean, there's all kinds of, I
- 1:05:04mean, so. Duda Paola calgaro ribiero.
- 1:05:08Yeah. There's a bunch of them.
- 1:05:14There's I mean. I mean and Andrade.
- 1:05:18Talk about a successful online qualifier, though.
- 1:05:20Well, This is why you do that. I was thinking like, OK.
- 1:05:25Crazy. Man, they don't have their
- 1:05:26qualifiers like. It's a money look.
- 1:05:29Brazil. Should be better.
- 1:05:31Y'all you should be fitter than you are.
- 1:05:33How much y'all like CrossFit? Y'all you should be better. 727
- 1:05:40people submitted a score on the women's side alone.
- 1:05:45Stop taking drugs and. Just don't worry about it, it's
- 1:05:47too late. I dude I love how invested
- 1:05:51Brazil is. Brazil is probably one of the
- 1:05:54greatest countries. Like just that.
- 1:05:56Just like freaking are bit by the CrossFit buck.
- 1:06:01Just love it and I just wish they were better.
- 1:06:04I was hoping that. I'm a big Brazil.
- 1:06:08Jesus Malharos was going to be on here, but I don't see his
- 1:06:13name. He was doing the workout and
- 1:06:18Mayhem, but I think you might have just been testing for the
- 1:06:19Mayhem crew you. Talking about gay harmion.
- 1:06:23Yeah, De Jesus, male heroes. So he's not on the leaderboard.
- 1:06:28At least I didn't see him. So I I just, I feel bad for
- 1:06:35anybody that like, I know people have complained about you can't
- 1:06:37track it and all this stuff. Like it's a fairpoint.
- 1:06:40If you wanted to get, if you want to, you know, if you want
- 1:06:43to try to attract people from outside of CrossFit to watch, it
- 1:06:47has to be consistent and easy to follow.
- 1:06:49First of all, I don't care because I don't think anybody
- 1:06:50outside of Crossfit's going to watch except for the handful of
- 1:06:53people that stand. Here on our show.
- 1:06:55But generally speaking, nobody's going to watch CrossFit or
- 1:06:58follow the season if you don't do CrossFit.
- 1:07:01But the fact is that you have semifinal level athletes who are
- 1:07:05confused at the season, thinking that they don't have to make any
- 1:07:08decisions or do a whole lot until the Open, and now you're
- 1:07:12running out of opportunities. And there's not one place to see
- 1:07:21at all. Like I tried doing how to
- 1:07:24qualify for a lot of them, but at the same time like they
- 1:07:27weren't all clear, clearly defined early on.
- 1:07:31They were like putting them out in pieces.
- 1:07:33Right. And so like I couldn't even
- 1:07:36follow and track until it was too late.
- 1:07:38Like you had to basically target.
- 1:07:39I'm going to do this one. I'm going to go, I'm going to go
- 1:07:41to Brazil and try to qualify that way like Annika is.
- 1:07:46And like you, you track that and try to figure it out.
- 1:07:49But like, there's nothing on the game site that tells you all
- 1:07:51that of how to how to get to a semifinal.
- 1:07:57Like once you're at the semifinal, it's easy, right?
- 1:07:59But like, how to get to the semifinal?
- 1:08:01There's not one place where anybody can get to.
- 1:08:05Was sanctionals easier to understand?
- 1:08:11No, no, because getting to the games was confusing.
- 1:08:16This is just confusing getting to semifinals.
- 1:08:19And I think, I think like yes, it is confusing, but if you're
- 1:08:24confused on who goes to the games, that's more of a problem
- 1:08:27in my opinion. I that's what I'm saying.
- 1:08:30I once, once we get to semifinals or no, once, once
- 1:08:33mayhem starts. It's not that confusing, right?
- 1:08:37Because all the qualifiers are set everybody, you know where
- 1:08:40everybody's going and then the semi finals just go.
- 1:08:43I, I don't mind the wild, Wild West.
- 1:08:45I know it's freaking hairy. But if you want to do the
- 1:08:48CrossFit games, it's on it's on you and on your coach to know
- 1:08:53how to get to the CrossFit games.
- 1:08:54Like I your open participant, your regular person who just
- 1:08:58wants to watch the games or, or is just, you know, a fan of
- 1:09:00CrossFit. They don't care about the the
- 1:09:05inner workings of how to get to semifinals.
- 1:09:07Like I, I just think it's on the athlete and on the coach and I
- 1:09:10don't mind the wild, Wild West. I like that you can pick
- 1:09:14wherever. You like the I, I, I totally
- 1:09:16agree with that. With that, with that, you have
- 1:09:19to know how to qualify for it. And it's they're all a little
- 1:09:22bit different. And I don't, I don't have a
- 1:09:24concrete solution other than make everybody go off a
- 1:09:27quarterfinals and that's hard. And so like, if you're not doing
- 1:09:32that, then let it ride. Sean, this applies.
- 1:09:38So we're talking about Sean Woodland.
- 1:09:40I thought you called me Sean. So he there was some news.
- 1:09:44Is he just going to be the commentator at the games or are
- 1:09:48they firing up the open? OK, Because this is like when
- 1:09:53we're going through all this, I'm like, you know, what would
- 1:09:55solve a lot of this is if HQ had the update show that they the
- 1:10:00you know, the desks show that they used to have and they run
- 1:10:03through how you go through it because there's not you know,
- 1:10:06you're covering it. But like this really should come
- 1:10:09from HQ of like hey, here's the say how the season.
- 1:10:11I mean I, I think. There should be a summary coming
- 1:10:13from HQ. I, I would say that they need to
- 1:10:15get, they need to get to a point because it feels like they're,
- 1:10:18they're announcing the season and the semifinals.
- 1:10:22Organizers are trying to figure it out last minute of how to
- 1:10:26make it work. Who's that?
- 1:10:30Smith. Who's that?
- 1:10:31What was his name? Smith.
- 1:10:33That visit in Maine, dude. Oh, yeah.
- 1:10:35Yeah. Yeah.
- 1:10:35Lindsey. Lindsey Smith's husband.
- 1:10:37Yeah. But yeah.
- 1:10:43Like, they rely on us to be the desk show.
- 1:10:45I get it. We need some desk show money
- 1:10:48please. Yeah, we need, we need some
- 1:10:50desk, desk show money. And we're still we're still
- 1:10:53small fish out here. We're short of a desk as well.
- 1:10:58Fifty $50,000 so. It takes, we could, we could buy
- 1:11:02it that way. I mean, we, we can, we could
- 1:11:05have an entire show that does it.
- 1:11:08But what percentage of those that matter does it get in front
- 1:11:11of? Right, it would only be the
- 1:11:12athletes and the coaches. The fans honestly I think would
- 1:11:16be bored. But there should be a a A on
- 1:11:22CrossFit Games website or you could just click the semi final
- 1:11:27and it tells you this is how you get there.
- 1:11:29Like Copa sur key dates and then.
- 1:11:32All of it is. Spelled out for you French throw
- 1:11:34down click and it's like oh they go through a qualifier It's On
- 1:11:37this date you made him click invite only right?
- 1:11:40Like every semi final you should be able.
- 1:11:42To but it needs to be done in December whenever the rule book
- 1:11:45came. Out correct, correct and it and
- 1:11:47just listed out for you and then that would be super, super,
- 1:11:50super helpful. If that's what if that's what if
- 1:11:53we're going to continue on with this season's structure because
- 1:11:56last year was similar, right? We move some stuff around, but
- 1:12:00it's the same. This year's the same with a
- 1:12:03little modifications to it. But if we're going to do the
- 1:12:06same thing in 2027, they have to do that like they have to as the
- 1:12:10rule book is published, a website, a page on on the game
- 1:12:14site comes up and it's like, here is how to qualify for any
- 1:12:19of these semifinals that are out there.
- 1:12:21And here are the dates that you need to know that are critical
- 1:12:23of when a qualifier starts, when registration is due, when
- 1:12:29workout submissions are due. It's.
- 1:12:33You can go through that. In a perfect world, not even a
- 1:12:36perfect world, what is this bare minimum world?
- 1:12:39It's just. You know.
- 1:12:41Instead of going to 10 different 11 different websites to try to
- 1:12:45figure it out our Instagram pages.
- 1:12:48You're asking a lot, you know, it like one of the things that
- 1:12:53companies always worry about is like when you work with a vendor
- 1:12:56or something, like moving from one pro platform to the other,
- 1:13:01you know, so it's like if you're in the the water Palooza app
- 1:13:05and, and you want, they want you to buy a Yeti cup, It's like
- 1:13:08getting from point A to point B. What you're asking for is to go
- 1:13:12on a fucking adventure scavenger hunt to find out what the season
- 1:13:17is. That's insane.
- 1:13:19And information wasn't released at the same time by all of them,
- 1:13:22right? Some of it's like we'll tell you
- 1:13:24in a few weeks and then it's like O2 weeks from now we're
- 1:13:27doing our qualifier. Good.
- 1:13:28Luck. Yeah, we go point A to B, which
- 1:13:31has a clue on where to find C, which has a map on where to.
- 1:13:38Find and it's in Portuguese. Good luck.
- 1:13:43Which half? Half The caption is Portuguese,
- 1:13:45Sometimes the bottom half is English, sometimes it's not.
- 1:13:49Sometimes the graphics are in Spanish or Portuguese.
- 1:13:52Sometimes the caption helps you understand it, like.
- 1:13:57Are we the wizard along the way to give you clues?
- 1:14:00Something like that, something like that.
- 1:14:04But I mean, hopefully people aren't screwed out of something.
- 1:14:08I don't know, We'll find out soon if somebody just doesn't
- 1:14:11fails to qualify or make something because of it.
- 1:14:14But just let's figure out some way to make it a little bit
- 1:14:18easier. And I mean, I think the only
- 1:14:21thing that there is no Geo fencing, no regional
- 1:14:24restrictions at any of the semifinals this year, the only
- 1:14:28one is. French.
- 1:14:29It is the French throw down where they're half of the field
- 1:14:33is only Europe. That's it.
- 1:14:37Everything else, you can go anywhere you want.
- 1:14:39Rhys Littlewood's on the French Throwdown leaderboard.
- 1:14:43We saw Miley Wade and a few others.
- 1:14:46Why do you think Mayhem hasn't invited Rhys Littlewood or Ty?
- 1:14:50Because they said they got to work their way down, right?
- 1:14:53Which basement? Who says they didn't decline?
- 1:14:56Maybe they did. I maybe I'm just the people
- 1:15:00they've invited. I just, I'm surprised I haven't
- 1:15:03heard of them inviting those two and I feel like those two are
- 1:15:05above the people that they are inviting, no?
- 1:15:07Offense, well, there's, there's a lot of, there's a lot of women
- 1:15:09that there still needs to be 6 more women that accept.
- 1:15:11I think we're up to 19. On the men's side, Connor Voltz
- 1:15:14was the last one to get invited. Our horse.
- 1:15:18He's coming. So yeah, I mean, they've the men
- 1:15:23are almost filled out, at least for now.
- 1:15:26And then we'll see what who. I mean, I don't know why all the
- 1:15:30women haven't Christine Cole and Brander accepted this afternoon,
- 1:15:35but you know, they're going to back backfill and find 6 more
- 1:15:42women to compete. I'm surprised Molly Wade's not
- 1:15:45going. Yeah, fortunate it out there.
- 1:15:51As for something that actually is kind of interesting and easy
- 1:15:53to follow along. 26.1 Jason Hopper, Dallin Pepper, Colton
- 1:15:57Mertens, and Austin Hatfield. Dude, it's, that's, it's, that's
- 1:16:01so good. Two bigs versus 2 littles.
- 1:16:05Like like, I hope we get a little bit of both, you know
- 1:16:07what I mean? That makes me think a rower is
- 1:16:09involved and burpees are involved.
- 1:16:12Rower and I, I'm excited. Basically just do the killbagent
- 1:16:24workout from Hillary. I thought that that would be a
- 1:16:27really cool workout to do. I mean, not, not, not like I'm
- 1:16:30not saying that's the open workout, but you could do that
- 1:16:32twice a week and you are preparing yourself for 20. 6.1
- 1:16:35They will never do that, but that would be a really cool
- 1:16:38workout to do, yeah. Yeah, yeah.
- 1:16:42It's going to be. I'm excited.
- 1:16:46So are people mad that we're on our Air Force Base, you think?
- 1:16:51Hey, dude. As soon as that like just
- 1:16:54because of what we've been talking about as.
- 1:16:56Soon as some. Of us like people.
- 1:16:58Are gonna get. If you are don't like that, go
- 1:17:01away. Go to a country that you like.
- 1:17:04If you're that eight up, then go somewhere.
- 1:17:07Else I think I think most of the criticism are people outside the
- 1:17:10country mad that that's the case.
- 1:17:13I could be wrong, but I feel like it is.
- 1:17:15Then stay where you are. Like this is just so ridiculous.
- 1:17:20I'm so sick of people. If you don't like where you are,
- 1:17:23go away. Go to a different state, go to a
- 1:17:28different country. Like I just just like where you
- 1:17:31are. I don't care what you are or
- 1:17:34what you believe or what color you are.
- 1:17:36Just like where you are. And if you don't like it, don't
- 1:17:39sit there and complain. Go somewhere where you want to.
- 1:17:42Be it's like a NASA Air Force Base too, not like a jet fighter
- 1:17:451 So it's nobody hates NASA. I mean conspiracy.
- 1:17:49That sounds like Elon. But I.
- 1:17:53Do think. Go ahead.
- 1:17:55I do think it was interesting if you followed the John Woolley's
- 1:17:58hate on Border Patrol being a sponsor of Wadapalooza, and I
- 1:18:05can't what is the competition, But he went down this whole
- 1:18:08thing and then tied it to ice and then he had to realize that
- 1:18:11they were not the same thing and had to backtrack over the
- 1:18:13weekend. It is insane.
- 1:18:17I miss that. That's great.
- 1:18:19I yeah, I'm not a fan, I think. Again, I think, I think that we
- 1:18:24talked about it last week, everybody has it backwards.
- 1:18:26They are, they are sponsoring the games to attract cross
- 1:18:29fitters to do stuff for the military, right, not the other
- 1:18:33way around. And if you can't see it
- 1:18:35backwards? If you've ever gone I when that
- 1:18:40year we were all at water or me and spin were at water Palooza.
- 1:18:4523. Yeah, the I talked a lot to the
- 1:18:50Border Patrol people. They had a had a tent there.
- 1:18:54No, John, it was at the games, you and I.
- 1:18:57That's when we did our little showdown between me and you with
- 1:18:59the pull ups and me, you, Caleb. And the muscle ups.
- 1:19:02And the muscle ups and that Lady.
- 1:19:06Pulled like 6 pull ups out of nowhere.
- 1:19:10It just kept going and then John beat me on the muscle ups.
- 1:19:13I was so I was so mad that we tied on the pull up.
- 1:19:17I got him for sure and he like PR by like 7 pull ups and I was
- 1:19:21like what what is this? That's my problem, because I'm
- 1:19:25training by myself. I'm not.
- 1:19:27I don't have John there next, but if John were there, I'd be
- 1:19:29so much fitter just out of spite.
- 1:19:32But that Lady who ran that tent, I talked to her at basically two
- 1:19:40other it was Water Palooza and some other event.
- 1:19:44First of all, she's Hispanic. So it's like you guys get mad,
- 1:19:47but Hispanics are also on Border Patrol.
- 1:19:49And then like they're also like the nicest.
- 1:19:53People they were, they were at the Canadian region.
- 1:19:55They're like, you guys get so pissed, but I'm like, they're
- 1:19:57the nicest people. And she's like, we have a job.
- 1:20:00We just want to get this job done and everybody's anyway.
- 1:20:03I'm awful. Tangent.
- 1:20:05No, you're good man. Keep going.
- 1:20:06I'm for the tangent. Here's Wooly.
- 1:20:10Talking about the Border Patrol as a controversial sponsor for
- 1:20:13fitness events like Water Palooza and the Fitness
- 1:20:15Experience or even the CrossFit Games, and the response from you
- 1:20:18guys was loud and clear. Many of you came forward and
- 1:20:20said, John, the US Border Patrol and ICE are not the same.
- 1:20:23You need to do more research. You're just acting emotionally.
- 1:20:26The Border Patrol protects us and doesn't have the same
- 1:20:29reputation as ICE. And honestly, that's fair.
- 1:20:31I should have been more precise. I should have done more homework
- 1:20:34on the history of the Border Patrol before hitting the record
- 1:20:37button, and that's on me. If you took the time to correct
- 1:20:40me on the conduct of the Border Patrol, you weren't nitpicking,
- 1:20:43you were asking for accuracy, and you guys deserve that.
- 1:20:46You're also right that acting emotionally doesn't help anyone.
- 1:20:49It muddies that conversation and it makes it easier to dismiss
- 1:20:52the points all together. If the goal is accountability
- 1:20:54and clarity, well, then that standard has to start with me.
- 1:20:57Now, two things can be true at the same time.
- 1:20:59The Border Patrol and ICE are different agencies.
- 1:21:01They have different structures, different missions, different
- 1:21:03responsibilities. And it's on me to respect that
- 1:21:05distinction when I talk about it publicly and make sure I'm
- 1:21:08accurate when discussing the Border Patrol and their
- 1:21:11potential to be controversial. This isn't me doubling down.
- 1:21:14It's me dialing a done. Research matters, precision
- 1:21:17matters. And if I want people to engage a
- 1:21:19good faith, well, I have to lead with it.
- 1:21:21So yeah, thank you for the pushback.
- 1:21:23Thank you for holding me to a higher standard.
- 1:21:25I'll do better homework, slow the takes down, and keep the
- 1:21:28conversation going. Because the point isn't to win
- 1:21:30an argument, is to actually understand what we're talking
- 1:21:32about. I don't believe you.
- 1:21:37Do you ever do you see, you ever see those AI videos where
- 1:21:40they're like, it's definitely like they had a real person
- 1:21:43standing there and then they just like did the AI mouth
- 1:21:45thing. I know.
- 1:21:47Wooly is definitely not like Hulk Hogan, right?
- 1:21:49Definitely not Hulk Hogan. Yeah.
- 1:21:51I know. He's making from the top rope.
- 1:21:56I know he's making those videos and it still feels like an AI
- 1:21:59video. Does anybody else in the
- 1:22:01comments feel that way? It 100% feels that way.
- 1:22:04There's like a lot of unmanly comments.
- 1:22:10I mean like 5 different ones like it's there's no way there
- 1:22:15we go, there's there's. There you go.
- 1:22:18That was before I said that. It's like he makes the cuts just
- 1:22:21to make it look like it's not AI.
- 1:22:23It's not one straight. Yeah, yeah, I don't know.
- 1:22:28I I just thought that like, I it was crazy when they started
- 1:22:32coming after like Wadapalooza and TFX.
- 1:22:34I'm like, dude, I don't. You guys just don't get it.
- 1:22:38Grant likes John. We see that I should have made
- 1:22:41that real, John. You still got time.
- 1:22:44You still can. It's not.
- 1:22:46It's not. It's so good.
- 1:22:48I think you should wait. I think you should wait.
- 1:22:51For the next one. For the next good moment.
- 1:22:53I yes, you need to find you. Don't have to rerecord, you just
- 1:22:56use it because it's applied to something else.
- 1:22:58You need to find something to make it, you know, right, Right.
- 1:23:03But there are a few people that I'm like, like, I wouldn't like,
- 1:23:08maybe they're different in person and like, like, you know,
- 1:23:10like give like a chance and stuff, right?
- 1:23:12And like, because, you know, a lot of people think Hitler is a,
- 1:23:15a really mean guy and then you meet him in person, he's like
- 1:23:18the nicest guy ever, right? Definitely mean.
- 1:23:21Like. You know, some people, some
- 1:23:22people have online personas that are a little bit like, they're
- 1:23:26just different in person, like. I'm a Dick.
- 1:23:29Like Taylor is way less abrasive in person and I think I think
- 1:23:34people would be surprised. I think a lot more people would
- 1:23:36like Taylor if they met him in person and then like Tyler's
- 1:23:40complete opposite. Tyler in person's a prick.
- 1:23:43Worst guy ever. Talked to anybody.
- 1:23:46Just really standoffish. I don't care to meet Willie.
- 1:23:52I just think just just Jeanette, we got to throw that in there.
- 1:23:59I I just everything he does just reeks of like an agenda, but
- 1:24:07like in a very like helping like way, like I didn't say that
- 1:24:11like, you know, you know what I mean, Like like.
- 1:24:13I mean he collabs with morning chocolate voice.
- 1:24:16Most people wouldn't have got that, but that voice you did was
- 1:24:20good. You know what?
- 1:24:23I like you and I don't even know how to explain it.
- 1:24:25I don't even know how to explain it.
- 1:24:27It's just, it's just that it's so annoying.
- 1:24:33It's my thing with with Brian is my same problem with Wooly.
- 1:24:38Not me. I don't.
- 1:24:38I don't think I cursed. What did I?
- 1:24:40I don't think I cursed. It's cursed you, but you don't
- 1:24:44think other certain cuss words are cuss words.
- 1:24:48Anyway, my problem with Brian Friend is the same problem I
- 1:24:52have with Wooly. If you watch some of these
- 1:24:55videos he's been doing with Hiller, he's really good at it.
- 1:24:59But he will answer it. He does it like a politician.
- 1:25:02He will answer a question and not say a fucking thing and
- 1:25:05he'll redirect every question to answer it.
- 1:25:09The way isn't that a good, isn't that a good interviewer
- 1:25:12interviewee that can like just take it and frame it the way
- 1:25:16that you want to. That they want to, right?
- 1:25:20Yeah. And I hate that I have.
- 1:25:21Taught like all of it's different when you answer a
- 1:25:24question with a question. I think that's way different.
- 1:25:27I know, I think, I mean that's what all the Adidas athletes got
- 1:25:30trained on last year. How to?
- 1:25:32How to go? How to?
- 1:25:32Answer questions. Well, how to?
- 1:25:34How to? If you're asked a question,
- 1:25:37don't you don't want to answer it.
- 1:25:38How do you like? How do you evade?
- 1:25:41How do you get to what you want to say without making it look
- 1:25:44like you're completely just talking about something else?
- 1:25:47Yeah. And, and like, I'm not like I
- 1:25:50have my noses up for that all the time.
- 1:25:52Like I can smell it as soon as it happens.
- 1:25:55I'm watching because I want you to answer the question if it's
- 1:25:57like a bad question, Like you ever watch some of these, like,
- 1:26:01hearings, like, I don't know, you know, Congress will have.
- 1:26:04And it's like they'll frame a question in the form of a lie.
- 1:26:07And it's like, well, hold on, I'm not answering that question.
- 1:26:10It's it's a lie from the get go. And it's like, I'm OK with like
- 1:26:13evading those 'cause if you're going to play a dirty game, but
- 1:26:16like, don't play a dirty game, just answer the questions.
- 1:26:19Not everything's a dirty game. Yeah, just answer the.
- 1:26:22Question, just your opinion. Yeah, Yeah, No, it's very
- 1:26:25political. It's just a lot of words speak
- 1:26:27as I like to say, and it's just, I just, it feels so fake.
- 1:26:37That's right. And if it's not fake, then your
- 1:26:39real personality is a fake personality and that's even
- 1:26:43worse. Like I just, I just, and I'm
- 1:26:45sorry that I feel that way. I I, you know, he sees this,
- 1:26:49he'll probably be like, well, that's not true at all, Like,
- 1:26:51and I'm sorry that I feel that way, but I do.
- 1:26:54And I would say that to his face and and you know, he might not
- 1:26:59think all that highly of me and that's fine.
- 1:27:02But I just I hate, I hate the politicians speak.
- 1:27:05I hate, I hate the a whole bunch of words that don't say nothing.
- 1:27:09I hate not actually having an opinion or not having the balls
- 1:27:13to say it. And then you just, I don't know,
- 1:27:16make some. It's I think.
- 1:27:19People make some insult, make some insult and call, call that
- 1:27:22your opinion, you know, like, I don't know, I think.
- 1:27:26If people like were with us three out, they would be totally
- 1:27:31like thrown off by how honest we are with each other.
- 1:27:35Like we just say shit and like it's not offensive to each
- 1:27:39other. That's.
- 1:27:41Fair. And it's, it's hard.
- 1:27:43It's hard for folks. Words.
- 1:27:51No word. All right, I think it's time to
- 1:27:55move on. Sorry for that rant.
- 1:27:56Yeah, big tangent before, before, before we move on, I do
- 1:28:00want to say Yuamo O povo Braziliero.
- 1:28:04All right. Good job.
- 1:28:07There you go, something like that.
- 1:28:09Brazilian. Word speak.
- 1:28:10Also, hold on really quick Grant, you are not you're not
- 1:28:18welcome to text me. You'll.
- 1:28:19Get kicked out real quick if you do.
- 1:28:20Something and you know what Grant, I'm going to make I'm
- 1:28:22going to make James Sprague delete your number.
- 1:28:25That's what I'm. You know how you got Castro to
- 1:28:27unblock me? I'm going to get Castro to block
- 1:28:30you. All right?
- 1:28:31Like it just just. Just that was ruined his it's.
- 1:28:33Not going to be great for you buddy.
- 1:28:35I'm telling you right now, I love you, but I'm not in love
- 1:28:39with you. That's true.
- 1:28:40All right, it's time for some. Blind rankings time out.
- 1:28:46I do love this. I'm not answering that.
- 1:28:50Yeah, for real. Like if you that's.
- 1:28:52What? That's what?
- 1:28:53That's what Castro says. Yes, if you don't want to answer
- 1:28:56something, just be like, I don't want Nope, next question.
- 1:28:59Like I would have so much more respect for that.
- 1:29:03And, and I know you say that about Brian, I, I think Brian's
- 1:29:06just careful for other reasons because like he says something,
- 1:29:10it's going to get taken in all sorts of directions or clipped
- 1:29:14out of context. That's part of the game.
- 1:29:16And and but like that does happen to him way more often
- 1:29:19than it happens to, I would say. I mean, I've been clipped out of
- 1:29:22context a few times, but the. And and context.
- 1:29:25That right, right, right. But I do that's I don't I don't
- 1:29:29like that when that happens. So.
- 1:29:32But I think he's just careful with his words because of that.
- 1:29:38There is no reason. Well, Wooly's just like that.
- 1:29:41Sir. All right, this week's blind
- 1:29:44rankings brought to you by Manta Sleep.
- 1:29:47Use code spin. Save 10% on the best sleep mask
- 1:29:51out there this week. What's coming up on Sunday,
- 1:29:55John? Sunday, Sunday, Sunday.
- 1:29:58What's that? What's that?
- 1:29:59What's happening on Sunday? The Super Bowl.
- 1:30:02The most boring Super Bowl of all time.
- 1:30:04I think that's why we're going to rank.
- 1:30:07Oh super. Bowl I I couldn't tell you a
- 1:30:09single, single team in the Super Bowl this year.
- 1:30:11Well, there's only two of. Them there's only two.
- 1:30:13I can't name either of them. Hey, OK, just throw out.
- 1:30:16I bet you could pick one just by.
- 1:30:20Raiders. Knowing teams.
- 1:30:22Tyler Worst. Team in there, that's what
- 1:30:25you're good at is picking last place.
- 1:30:27We should have nailed it. I'm going to say probably the
- 1:30:30Patriots. That is correct.
- 1:30:36West Coast Chargers. The Seahawks?
- 1:30:44Dang, that's weird. I'm a Vikings fan.
- 1:30:47And I'm just happy not to see the Eagles or the Chiefs in it
- 1:30:51so. I mean, I, I feel, yeah, it's
- 1:30:53just going to be the most boring Super Bowl of all time.
- 1:30:55And Sam Darnold's about to win a Super Bowl and he was the
- 1:30:59Vikings quarterback last year. And that's sad for me so.
- 1:31:02Well, you can look forward to the halftime Super Bowl.
- 1:31:07I. Think it's I think I'm not going
- 1:31:08to watch it. I might not watch the Super
- 1:31:10Bowl. Hoosiers.
- 1:31:11I can't understand it. What?
- 1:31:13Why do we have a Spanish person doing American football?
- 1:31:16That doesn't make sense. I don't know.
- 1:31:20I don't know but. Would we have a dude?
- 1:31:25Dude, we have Bruce Springsteen do the World Cup in Argentina.
- 1:31:30No, doesn't make. Sense born Born in the USA.
- 1:31:35Yes, we are born in the USA, in Argentina.
- 1:31:39Sex. Never mind.
- 1:31:41All right. You guys are going to be ranking
- 1:31:44some halftime performances, so this one's going to get
- 1:31:48interesting, especially with John giving out some clues.
- 1:31:51First one. Guys, I don't care if he's an
- 1:31:53American citizen. He doesn't talk English.
- 1:31:56All of his songs are Spanish. That's what I'm saying, yeah.
- 1:32:00Fair enough. All right, here we go.
- 1:32:01First one. Oh oh shoot, I got to give Tyler
- 1:32:07hints. Oh my God.
- 1:32:08It's like John. I'll catch a grenade for ya.
- 1:32:14I step in front of a train for ya.
- 1:32:19I know, I know the song. I need another hint.
- 1:32:23I need another hint. Treasure.
- 1:32:26That is Bruno Mars, you. Are.
- 1:32:29There you go, Bruno Mars from 2014.
- 1:32:33Four. Yeah, I don't really think this
- 1:32:36was great. It does not very memorable.
- 1:32:38Number one thing I hate about the Super Bowl halftime show, I
- 1:32:43don't like the montage of songs that they do like.
- 1:32:46I want you to pick three. I want you to play them all the
- 1:32:48way through. I feel you like.
- 1:32:50That I want a real mini concert. I like that too.
- 1:32:53Yeah, I'm with you. They have, they have like what,
- 1:32:5515 minutes? I don't got much time.
- 1:32:57Oh dude, they have like 40 minutes.
- 1:32:59The Super Bowl just has something.
- 1:33:00Crazy. So long.
- 1:33:02OK, Next up, here we go. John, can you sing this one?
- 1:33:12I'm on tonight and then my hips don't lie and I know I'm feeling
- 1:33:15it right. Shakira.
- 1:33:17And. Oh, she was with somebody else?
- 1:33:23Well, you got to give me a hint on the other person.
- 1:33:26Oh goodness. Pitbull.
- 1:33:31I'm so I'm I'm Jenny from the Black.
- 1:33:33That was not very good, but maybe you could probably get hit
- 1:33:35from. That Jennifer Lopez.
- 1:33:39Yeah, thank you, because I didn't.
- 1:33:40Have a live 20. They were like naked the entire
- 1:33:44time. It was basically watching porn
- 1:33:47during the halftime show. Oh, it's definitely A5 for John.
- 1:33:49Yeah, yeah, it's a 5. We might as well have David
- 1:33:52David Spiegel out there singing the Super Bowl.
- 1:33:53Wow, so those are the worst too. All right, next.
- 1:33:59Up. Screw us.

- 1:34:06There is one number one period. Dude, dude.
- 1:34:11Secrete no or not creed. I know, I, I know we fall in the
- 1:34:25swimming pools and diving. I, I, I don't know a lot, I
- 1:34:31don't know a lot of these songs. If.
- 1:34:33You could explain the name somehow.

- 1:34:46Oh, they had that beef. Yeah.
- 1:34:49I need some hints on his name. John.

- 1:34:59not, I'm not a big rap guy. It was not good.
- 1:35:02Hey, stop. Stop looking.
- 1:35:04I can look at look. He named it.
- 1:35:07Yeah, I didn't like it either 3. Three.

- 1:35:14Bing bop boom bop Bing bop boom. Bam.
- 1:35:18All right. Oh, that's what I should have
- 1:35:19said. You're right.

- 1:36:13OK, John, so so so is Prince going to show up?
- 1:36:20That's that's that's the call I get you.
- 1:36:23That's number one of all time I'm.
- 1:36:25With you, I'm with you. If not, this one is the most
- 1:36:32possibly the most memorable halftime show of all time.
- 1:36:36And not for the music. And not for the music.
- 1:36:39Yeah, I remember I was standing there.
- 1:36:44The weekend was pretty good. You remember the weekend?
- 1:36:47I thought his halftime show. Was no, it was garbage.
- 1:36:52I would say too, when we hold out for Prince, because if
- 1:36:55Prince is number 2, we're going to feel really bad about
- 1:36:58ourselves. Yep, I'm going to go #2 I John,
- 1:37:04do you remember? Did were you watching?
- 1:37:05Do you remember what I? Like, yeah, no, I remember.
- 1:37:08I I I wasn't very old, but when do you well?
- 1:37:13How what year was it? It's twenty O 4 so I would have
- 1:37:20been in like 7th grade. I was 8 so I I don't really know
- 1:37:23what happened but I remember all of the adults like saying like
- 1:37:27something happened. It was, I was standing.
- 1:37:31We had an old big TV, you know, cabinet on and everything and TV
- 1:37:37was in such a weird place. But anyway, I was standing
- 1:37:39there. My dad, it was like we were
- 1:37:41totally doing the old man move where we were standing in front
- 1:37:43of the TV eating at the same time.
- 1:37:47He pulls her shirt down. My dad's like eating.
- 1:37:53He just walks away. Isn't.
- 1:37:59That what I said. Didn't I say that it's 2004, so
- 1:38:02I was 10, sorry, not ten. That's what I said.
- 1:38:05I got other stuff in my. Head, Sorry, I'm sorry, I'm all
- 1:38:07right. The reveal.
- 1:38:09Oh, wait. I should probably.
- 1:38:10Yeah, yeah, yeah. We got this.
- 1:38:11We got this. Last one.
- 1:38:13Come on, come on. Oh dude.
- 1:38:16We get screwed. Where is the love spin?
- 1:38:20I didn't say these are the best of all time.
- 1:38:21I gave you and Tyler, I already said it.
- 1:38:27Black Eyed Peas, Yeah. Nice.
- 1:38:30That was good, right? That was good.
- 1:38:32I was like, I know what he's doing.
- 1:38:34There it is. That's your list.
- 1:38:38Nailed it. People killing, people dying,
- 1:38:42children hurting. Hear them, he goes and.
- 1:38:45You practice what? Janet and Justin, probably Bruno
- 1:38:51Mars. Father, Father, help us.
- 1:38:55Kendrick, Black Eyed Peas, Shakira.
- 1:39:00I would say Justin and Timberlake would be #1 just
- 1:39:03because of significance. And then I don't remember Black
- 1:39:10Eyed Peas I. Do.
- 1:39:13Did you like them or no? No, it was.
- 1:39:15I don't like the Black Eyed Peas in general.
- 1:39:18I'm not like a big fan. I don't I don't like them.
- 1:39:20The the only reason I put it on there is my oldest son was I
- 1:39:23guess 1 1/2 at the time and he started dancing at a Super Bowl
- 1:39:27party we were at and thought it was the greatest thing ever.
- 1:39:30Yeah, never heard of music before.
- 1:39:31And he just in front of the TV just getting down.
- 1:39:34I agree he's been none of these. Best of the worst?
- 1:39:37You picked. You picked bad ones.
- 1:39:39There's a lot of bad ones to pick from.
- 1:39:41Yeah, but you didn't. Aren't very many good ones.
- 1:39:44You could have said Whitney Houston's national anthem, Bruce
- 1:39:47Springsteen Prince. Prince wasn't.
- 1:39:52I thought Doctor Dre and Eminem were better than me.
- 1:39:54Like I thought that one was not bad.
- 1:39:56Wasn't Dave Grohl 1? Katy Perry's was like crazy.
- 1:40:00I. Don't remember that one.
- 1:40:02She's like was on a big old lion that was on the her tiger.
- 1:40:06Oh, what's her face? Lady Gaga had a big.
- 1:40:10Lady Gaga, Yeah. Big one.
- 1:40:13I don't love Lady Gaga's music, but it was fun.
- 1:40:16But she's a show. Yeah, she was a yeah.
- 1:40:20We'll find out how Bad Bunny does here soon.
- 1:40:25Who had a killer halftime show? Creed had a great one.
- 1:40:30Ariana said she was pregnant on one of the halftimes.
- 1:40:34Or Creed's wasn't a halftime show at the Super Bowl.
- 1:40:36It was. Like was Creed a halftime show
- 1:40:38dude? It was like an.
- 1:40:39AFC It should have just said that one time Creed was on,
- 1:40:41yeah. Just whatever they're doing.
- 1:40:44And at one time, in a Cowboys jersey, flying with Angels,
- 1:40:48that's all you have. I mean, you don't get better

- 1:42:46The first one's like nobody. No, dude, he's a famous jazz
- 1:42:51musician. The first one, the first Super
- 1:42:54Bowl ever. Oh no, this was Super Bowl 4, I
- 1:42:56thought. This is the fourth one ever.
- 1:43:00I I I wasn't around. I want to say Super Bowl 4 was
- 1:43:04the Chiefs and the Vikings and, and the Chiefs won.
- 1:43:10You know, you know who played in Super Bowl 3 was pretty
- 1:43:12historic. It's our only championship ever.
- 1:43:19Browns. It was The Jets.
- 1:43:21Joe Namath. He was ever you weight, Hobart,
- 1:43:23just you weight. And then Super Bowl 2 and one,
- 1:43:25of course, were the were the Packers.
- 1:43:28Yeah, well, when there's three teams in the entire league.
- 1:43:32Packers, Packers, Bears and. There there was 8 teams.
- 1:43:37Come on. Sure.
- 1:43:42So anyway, the rule book, you can take your CBD gummies
- 1:43:44anytime you want now, but you cannot do it if you're competing
- 1:43:47in the game season. And then up until this
- 1:43:51afternoon, I guess it was this afternoon, eight hours ago.
- 1:43:54Yeah, this afternoon we had a stall in the number of athletes
- 1:43:58that were announced. But we know that, according to
- 1:44:01James Sprague, Dallin Pepper's out and Justin Medeiros is out.
- 1:44:07James said he's doing it, but he's not been announced yet,
- 1:44:09which is kind of interesting. That's how you do.
- 1:44:11It I think he's going to. Yeah.
- 1:44:15You think he's holding out? He's holding out for the
- 1:44:18$100,000 con, I think. He's going to try to negotiate
- 1:44:20and say everybody else is dropping out.
- 1:44:21Give me more than hardball. That's smart, actually, for
- 1:44:25Sprague, that's on. That's on point A dude.
- 1:44:29What do you think this means? You don't know what it was and
- 1:44:33you don't know what it is now, so it doesn't matter.
- 1:44:36I'm trying. I'm sure it's AI, think it's a
- 1:44:38for the better though. What were we talking about when
- 1:44:42he wrote that? You're singing.
- 1:44:45Oh. That's all I can get.
- 1:44:50I'm confused on what that means. I'm I'm.
- 1:44:52I'm perplexed. Part of me wants to be evil and
- 1:44:57whoops and replay like get some of these gummies and replace
- 1:45:03them with just the full THC gummies and get John to eat
- 1:45:06them. Dude, no shot.
- 1:45:09I would be that one. I would I would be really mad at
- 1:45:12you if you did that. Like I, I know I wouldn't take
- 1:45:14that as a prank. Like I, I, I don't think we
- 1:45:17would fight, but I would be like very.
- 1:45:19It's one of those where I'm like, I know you're going to be
- 1:45:22really mad, but it would like, it's so hilarious that I might
- 1:45:26just have to risk it for a while.
- 1:45:29I would not. I would.
- 1:45:30I don't. I don't know what I would do,
- 1:45:32but I would be very, very. You wouldn't be mad for a while.
- 1:45:36James you, you have no idea. James, no idea.
- 1:45:40I would ruin some folks on Jeopardy.
- 1:45:45Yeah, so World Fitness Project Pat Velner with his atrial
- 1:45:48flutter, he he was announced on January 21st.
- 1:45:54And then like how how long was this?
- 1:45:57A week and a half, two weeks. Then we got a flurry of five
- 1:46:00dudes. Tudor, Magda, Anil Ikai, Ty
- 1:46:03Jenkins, Chris Ibarra and BKG all renounced, No women.
- 1:46:07Dude, that feels like a Hollywood movie where you find
- 1:46:11the most diverse group of guys. Those 5.
- 1:46:15Yeah, doesn't it? I got these are a group of
- 1:46:19friends but it's like the most diverse group of people and like
- 1:46:23not realistic. I mean, I think Aniol is
- 1:46:26definitely one of those that are outside of I put Chris and Ty
- 1:46:29pretty close together and then BKJ and Tudor maybe a little bit
- 1:46:34dissimilar. I'm just from AI.
- 1:46:37Don't. Know OK, maybe I'm just wrong.
- 1:46:44What's the hold up PC? What's the hold up?
- 1:46:46What? Is the hold up.
- 1:46:48Why aren't we getting more announcements?
- 1:46:51It's because we it's creating suspension.
- 1:46:55Definitely got definitely got some questions do.
- 1:46:57You mean suspense? No.
- 1:46:59Suspension. Suspension No.
- 1:47:02Are people suspended from signing up?
- 1:47:05My question is, so with Dallon and Justin, I don't know.
- 1:47:12It's exactly what Brian does. Patrick, we just went over this.
- 1:47:16They I'm not answering that question.
- 1:47:18You got to be able to answer this, brother.
- 1:47:20You'll answer it with another question I can't believe.
- 1:47:25Deflected. Yeah, if you don't want to
- 1:47:28answer it, say it's out of my hands or, or I mean, just just
- 1:47:31that's crazy. We just said This is why we get
- 1:47:35on to we don't like certain people.
- 1:47:40I, I, I have to assume that they didn't sign until just recently
- 1:47:43as my guess. Oh, dense.
- 1:47:47Because more than just Dallin and Justin have declined, you
- 1:47:51know. We should make it's too late.
- 1:47:55We should have thought of this earlier.
- 1:47:56Make bingo cards of athletes who we think will decline.
- 1:48:01And then it's out of context. By the way, it is true, but it's
- 1:48:04out of context. Did you touch?
- 1:48:10The event was over. How close to over?
- 1:48:15The event was over. How much time, John?
- 1:48:19And, and you know what I said to that judge, I was like, I
- 1:48:21understand what you're, I understand what you're saying,
- 1:48:24but we were told something different and that's all we were
- 1:48:26saying. Why were you touching them
- 1:48:28during that conversation? My hand was on his shoulder and
- 1:48:33I was signing the score. How?
- 1:48:34Tight was the hand or we. I, I it wasn't, it wasn't loose.
- 1:48:38We're talking Ty Jenkins kind of touching or are we?
- 1:48:42No. No, no, no.
- 1:48:45Less than like Hop. What Hopper would do Hopper.
- 1:48:47'S got an aggressive touch, just he likes to touch.
- 1:48:51People. Yeah, yeah.
- 1:48:55I mean if if down and Justin are out, I assume because Ricky's
- 1:48:59not been announced he's out. Like, do people start getting
- 1:49:01like a bigger contract now? Roman's out.
- 1:49:06Roman declined. I think people get smaller
- 1:49:09contracts. What, what, what, what?
- 1:49:14He signed. Oh, oh, he put a question mark
- 1:49:17on the other I'm sorry. He's talking to some people.
- 1:49:19That's that's my fault. Yeah, Roman's in, sorry.
- 1:49:23I don't think I mean I would move to try to get the lowest
- 1:49:30contract possible, you know, if I'm WFP.
- 1:49:33So Dallin 70,000 is just gone. Yeah.
- 1:49:37I don't saving saving money you didn't earn it you're.
- 1:49:41Out. Unfortunately, I don't.
- 1:49:42I like, I don't think they give Chris Ibarra the $70,000 they
- 1:49:46were going to give Roman. I just don't think Chris, I
- 1:49:49don't think it works like that. Yeah, I know.
- 1:49:51Every time on this. Show But he does give Chris a
- 1:49:54bargaining ship or other athletes A bargaining ship if
- 1:49:57I'm Roman or if I'm I. Mean Roman would move up to
- 1:50:02Yeah, he. I think Roman might be second.
- 1:50:05Yeah, I'd be like, hey, I know you go to lay extra 70 grand
- 1:50:09you're sitting on and you're going to pay some other athlete
- 1:50:142025. Let me get the difference.
- 1:50:18But yeah, for sure, Oh, you might get 10 or 15 K out of it,
- 1:50:22yeah. I mean, you're going to have it.
- 1:50:23I assume spray's going to make it.
- 1:50:25I assume spray's going to make it down.
- 1:50:26One's out. I I would assume Ricky's out,
- 1:50:28Justin's out. So Roman would be second if that
- 1:50:31is the case. So he jumps from like 50,000 to
- 1:50:35or 40,000 to 70,000. Gay's in Tudor's in Chandler's
- 1:50:40in Yonah's not been announced. Aniel Jack Colton's not been
- 1:50:46announced. Yellow's not been announced.
- 1:50:49Your value for reach is higher now.
- 1:50:51It's more. It's more valuable than it was.
- 1:50:55Yeah, Patrick Veldner, Travis Mayer.
- 1:50:59Other's not accepted yet. Thai is in, BKG is in, Ibarra is
- 1:51:04in, Ackerman's in and like women there's only like 7 been
- 1:51:08announced. I expected all the women to be
- 1:51:13accepting. They're offering invites to non
- 1:51:19pro card holders already for stop one and two on the girls
- 1:51:22side at least. I wonder if they've invited
- 1:51:25Gracie. I mean, I think the most.
- 1:51:27Referencing. Yeah I wonder which.
- 1:51:30They have 5 invites so they can do what they want.
- 1:51:37I was expecting all the women to accept, but it looks like that
- 1:51:39might not be the case if it's. Heavier.
- 1:51:41We see a batch of like 5 come out tomorrow.
- 1:51:43But that is kind of crazy, Yeah. So who do you think not pull the
- 1:51:48women up real quick? Let.
- 1:51:50Me. See.
- 1:51:52Let's see. Let me pull up.
- 1:52:03Give me one second. Why is that?
- 1:52:08No one second, please. Please hold.
- 1:52:13Who's been announced? Oh, Yellow has signed.
- 1:52:15Sorry. John, how did you do it?
- 1:52:17The TFX. He.
- 1:52:20Got cut, he got cut. You guys got cut?
- 1:52:23Yeah, we're the first team out, first and second team out.
- 1:52:27I don't remember. We were.
- 1:52:28We were on. The cut line, we were eleventh,
- 1:52:29yeah. We were on the cut line and then
- 1:52:34we got like 16th or something in the last event before the cut
- 1:52:38line and yeah, we got we got cut.
- 1:52:42Sorry. Started out strong enough.
- 1:52:44Second. Place just what just what we are
- 1:52:46well, like I'm not mad at how we did there was there was one
- 1:52:50workout we could have done better and then there was one
- 1:52:53workout where there was a miscommunication with the with
- 1:52:57one of our judges and that's why that's that's what they were
- 1:53:00saying earlier but nothing nothing bad We appealed it it
- 1:53:03got denied it's OK like yeah, the other guys were just better
- 1:53:09nothing. Who's accepted?
- 1:53:117 athletes? Andrea Solberg, Odeluk
- 1:53:16Luddikvam. Ludwikvam.
- 1:53:19Ludwikvam. Ludwikvam.
- 1:53:22Luddikvam. You got to, you got to imagine.
- 1:53:24You're Swedish to say it. My name is ODA Ludwikvam.
- 1:53:28She's Norway from Norway. Like that's down in South
- 1:53:31Africa. Norwegian.
- 1:53:32I don't. Sorry, Norwegian Sydney,
- 1:53:34megalician Emma Tall, Lydia Fish, Jennifer Muir and Emily
- 1:53:40Rolf. So no no Laura yet.
- 1:53:43No Amy, no Emma Lawson, no Lucy Campbell, no Ariel.
- 1:53:47And we got Emma Brooks retired, no Olivia, no Sydney, no Annika.
- 1:53:52And then we got Andrea, Lydia, Sydney, Emily, no Danny, no
- 1:53:57Hannah, no Mannin and then Jennifer and ODA and no Ella.
- 1:54:06So only one of the top ten women have been accepted yet.
- 1:54:12Crazy. And I if you were, if you were
- 1:54:15going to ask me a month and a half ago if people were going to
- 1:54:18drop out more or less I would have said the women stay in the
- 1:54:21men are the ones that drop out and unless they drop a bomb and
- 1:54:26like, hey, here's 6 that are all accepted and signed, I'd be
- 1:54:32surprised. It's hilarious.
- 1:54:34That's. Fair.
- 1:54:37Yeah, I I'm surprised I don't. I still am not.
- 1:54:41I'm not sold that these girls are actually out.
- 1:54:44I'm. I'm just wondering.
- 1:54:45I mean, I'd be shocked if Laura Horbath didn't compete.
- 1:54:47Yeah, I feel like. Laura, I don't know why she
- 1:54:49wouldn't be announced. Tuning up for the games, man.
- 1:54:51Amy I could see being 5050. I would expect Amy to be in.
- 1:54:56I would expect it to, but I could kind of make a case
- 1:54:59against. Do you think that Tia being out
- 1:55:03changes their opinion? Like this is my year.
- 1:55:06Like I'm going to do everything I can for just the games.
- 1:55:09I don't want to focus on anything else.
- 1:55:10I don't want to go travel to Mexico City in the middle of the
- 1:55:12season. I want to win the game.
- 1:55:16Yeah, it wouldn't it wouldn't put it I I don't put it past
- 1:55:18Laura to see to be like I can win the CrossFit Games now
- 1:55:21because Tia's out. So I'm just going to I still.
- 1:55:23Don't see Laura going to the game now, but I'm saying like
- 1:55:26I'm just saying like Amy Kringle and Emma Lawson and Lucy
- 1:55:29Campbell. Emma for sure.
- 1:55:31Lucy for sure. Amy.
- 1:55:33I don't think Amy is good enough to have that.
- 1:55:37Maybe the podium. She's been improving year after
- 1:55:40year after. Year one, one more podium spot.
- 1:55:43Cool. She's not going to win the
- 1:55:44Games, but like a she could, like she could podium.
- 1:55:48I don't think yeah, but I don't think you.
- 1:55:51If I'm if I'm her, I think I could win it.
- 1:55:54Then she's wrong. I think if you you're her,
- 1:55:57though. You think you can't?
- 1:55:59Yeah. I think if you're a realist.
- 1:56:00Which means I'm right. Then you wouldn't think that.
- 1:56:05I I don't know. I mean that it, it makes me
- 1:56:09question like James, does he look around and look at say.
- 1:56:14Yes. Oh, that.
- 1:56:17So like I'm James, I'm looking around going Dallin, Jason,
- 1:56:22probably Adler or all Justin are all going all in on the game
- 1:56:30season. Am I looking around going is 80?
- 1:56:33Should I? Should I stay in for $80,000 or
- 1:56:35should I? I would dedicate my contract to
- 1:56:39150. I'd I'd say hit 150 or I'm out
- 1:56:44and and I'd still be close for me.
- 1:56:46You do have, you do have more of a bargaining chipped away like
- 1:56:49Tyler said. Because it's only one, it's only
- 1:56:51one competition doesn't have to really do a whole lot for it,
- 1:56:54but it is traveling to Mexico City in May in the middle of
- 1:56:59everything else. I think, I think James, he wants
- 1:57:08the fittest on Earth again. Oh 100%.
- 1:57:11And I just wonder if he's if he's looking at going all my
- 1:57:14competition is now solely focused on this and I'm going to
- 1:57:18go into multiple different directions.
- 1:57:20Yeah. Is that a good idea?
- 1:57:21Or maybe, maybe not. I don't know.
- 1:57:27Taylor W, how are you all feeling about the athletes that
- 1:57:29protested last year and are signing up this year?
- 1:57:32So I I made the comment post. Noah Olson is back in the open,
- 1:57:37Victor Hoffer is back in the open.
- 1:57:38Victor's on the French throwdown leaderboard, and then Emma
- 1:57:42Lawson's back. I wouldn't say Emma Lawson was
- 1:57:46protesting last year. I think she could have tried the
- 1:57:49season, but I don't know everything about that.
- 1:57:52She was dealing with injuries. She was, I mean, I think she
- 1:57:56could have maybe just tried to squeak through it, but at the
- 1:57:59same time, maybe it was worse and she couldn't do it.
- 1:58:01The other two obviously sat out purposely.
- 1:58:08Welcome back. I don't.
- 1:58:09I'm not going to hold a grudge against him.
- 1:58:10Yeah, I don't. I don't care Like if Laura, if
- 1:58:12Laura came back like Laura's like the big probably the
- 1:58:16biggest one, right. Well, I guess Lucas Luca, but
- 1:58:20yeah, I like of, of people that would mean something at the
- 1:58:23games, right? Like a difference.
- 1:58:26Laura's probably the biggest 1 and I wouldn't hold it against
- 1:58:30her. I, I you.
- 1:58:32Might root for handstand. Push ups, yeah, I wouldn't root
- 1:58:35for her, but I wouldn't be like she shouldn't be here or like
- 1:58:39she like I don't want her to be here.
- 1:58:43I think she's one of the fittest women in the world and she wants
- 1:58:45to do the season then then all props to her.
- 1:58:48Like like if she wins, then she wins.
- 1:58:49I don't I won't like it, but I still don't think it's not.
- 1:58:54She's not allowed. You know what I mean, right?
- 1:58:57I don't, I don't hold any of that against any of them.
- 1:59:00Yeah. I'm good with it.
- 1:59:02Come back. It's especially, you know, right
- 1:59:05now in the open, like I don't know it not to get into politics
- 1:59:11stuff, but it's like witch hunting for something that
- 1:59:13somebody did. When it's something that's
- 1:59:15trivial. It's like people change things.
- 1:59:19I like I'm not going to hold your feet to fire on it on this
- 1:59:22come back. Yeah, So that's it?
- 1:59:27Yeah. No, it was jacked.
- 1:59:30But she also did the competition in May and did pretty well at
- 1:59:34WFP, so all she had to do was squeak through the open.
- 1:59:37But it's fine. That's it.
- 1:59:41Go check out if you're an affiliate owner, go check out
- 1:59:43CrossFit Medical Society, the Health Hub, go get some
- 1:59:47biomarkers tested if you want to do that just for anybody and
- 1:59:50then start tracking that. I think it's maybe a good thing
- 1:59:53to do. Just pair it with the open and
- 1:59:54see how you do. And sign up for jybarbell.com
- 2:00:00because $25.00 a month first two weeks are free.

- 2:00:09little bit fit. Can can we pull up somebody?

- 2:00:24JY barbell story. No, no regular regular John,
- 2:00:26John CrossFit, what you act, you act like this is so much.
- 2:00:31What? Is it the first one?
- 2:00:37Yep. All right, all right.
- 2:00:40This is Gucci Valdemar's daughter.
- 2:00:44She is C JS athlete but I've been helping her with some
- 2:00:47strength stuff and in 11 minutes because the French throwdown is
- 2:00:52the other total, she PR Ed everything and she's been
- 2:00:58murdering it. Gucci.
- 2:01:00Yeah, I met her at Waterpalooza a couple years ago, that last
- 2:01:03year there. Yeah, she's she's and she's like
- 2:01:075 foot 10 with a £300 back squat.
- 2:01:13Like she's it's rare whenever you find somebody really tall
- 2:01:17that can still squat. And I'm excited, I'm excited for
- 2:01:21her. I don't I don't know if she's
- 2:01:22got games potential, but she's getting better and better.
- 2:01:27She's a semi finalist athlete type athlete and she's getting
- 2:01:30better. That's all I'll say.
- 2:01:31But wad prep athlete, T JS athlete.
- 2:01:34But she's been following the train for strength stuff and I
- 2:01:38mean it's it's it's working. So I wanted, I wanted a.
- 2:01:41Room to grow. I'll do it a lot, a lot, a lot.
- 2:01:44She's still got like a skinny frame too.
- 2:01:46Like, I don't even think that's it.
- 2:01:47She. Looks like she looks like a
- 2:01:49Icelandic Liz Wishart. Little bit but but dude, she's
- 2:01:53like 5 foot 10. She's a little bit.
- 2:01:54She's a lot bigger than taller. She was that crash.
- 2:01:57Liz is pretty tall though. I I know, but she she presents a
- 2:02:00lot bigger than Liz does. But semi finalists watch out for
