Hey,
4:07
I wouldn't be mad at a turkey sandwich.
4:10
I like a good turkey sandwich.
4:11
It needs to be done right,
4:12
but I'd get down on a turkey sandwich.
4:15
Dude,
4:17
I truly believe I could eat sandwiches the
4:19
rest of my life,
4:21
and I'd be okay with it.
4:25
I love a good sandwich,
4:28
especially either flat-pressed or
4:31
panini-pressed or...
4:35
You make me a hot sandwich and I'll
4:37
do pretty much whatever you need me to
4:38
do after that.
4:39
Yeah.
4:40
I,
4:42
to me that it might be my favorite
4:44
meal ever, but you know,
4:46
you gotta have like good,
4:48
good meats and cheese.
4:50
Yeah, absolutely.
4:52
Absolutely.
4:53
I want to get up to, uh,
4:57
up to the glintons area and hit up
4:58
their deli because i want to get uh
5:02
garrett to make me a sandwich from the
5:03
deli because a good deli sandwich will
5:05
change your life amanda does blue apron
5:10
once a week yeah we do home chef
5:11
we just switched to it really happy with
5:13
it really happy with it we tried some
5:16
of the other ones that seems to be
5:18
the one we've we've liked the most uh
5:21
jungle heat here in south florida
5:25
uh meg i work from home and i'm
5:28
i myself don't make me fancy lunches like
5:33
yesterday i worked the second half of the
5:34
day from home so i got home and
5:37
weighed out my chicken weighed out my rice
5:39
weighed out you know cut up my zucchini
5:41
whatnot and i threw everything in a pan
5:43
and like kind of stir fried it to
5:44
heat it up and that is top notch
5:47
but that's when i got time to do
5:48
that like nine ninety nine percent of the
5:51
time is throw it in the microwave and
5:53
hope for the best
5:55
Yeah, I was going to say,
5:56
I weighed out the microwave as it's
5:59
finishing up.
6:00
Oh, speaking of.
6:05
The building that we're in, the gym.
6:07
we've had fixed repaired several different
6:11
times it's the it's on the landlords not
6:14
on us right and every once in a
6:16
while we had a monsoon uh i had
6:19
a pretty bad one last week couple days
6:21
whatnot and it'll knock like if they've
6:24
left roofing screws or whatnot up there
6:25
it'll knock them over find them in the
6:27
parking lot
6:28
well i was leaving out the gym one
6:29
day last week and i found another one
6:31
so i sent it to our little group
6:32
chat and i was like hey y'all be
6:33
careful you know we don't anybody get a
6:36
flat tire it's a giant screw out there
6:38
the next day uh sarah one of the
6:41
owners sends a text message there's a
6:43
microwave on the ground in front of the
6:47
roll-up door with an unpopped bag of
6:50
popcorn in it
6:55
And she couldn't figure out which button
6:57
to hit.
6:57
So they just ripped it out of the
6:58
wall and brought it to our gym.
7:03
It wasn't our mark, our, our microwave.
7:06
We have a microwave inside.
7:07
It works just fine.
7:10
But she said, cause I,
7:13
I found one and then Jeff found one
7:15
to roof and screws.
7:16
And she said,
7:17
I will see your roof and screws and
7:19
raise you a microwave.
7:21
And it was just sitting out there in
7:22
front of the roll up doors.
7:26
I told Cecil, I was like,
7:28
I don't know how it fit down to
7:29
downspout or what it was doing on the
7:31
roof to begin with.
7:33
Yeah.
7:34
Sean says,
7:35
sometimes we just straight up eat out of
7:37
the pots and dishes we use to make
7:39
the meal.
7:40
I'm all for that.
7:41
My wife would never, ever go for that.
7:44
Dude, when I lived by myself, I would,
7:48
and I still do this most of the
7:49
time during the week,
7:50
like I'll take out a bowl on Monday.
7:52
I will make my food.
7:53
I will warm it up in the bowl.
7:55
I will eat.
7:55
I will wash the bowl,
7:56
and I will use that bowl all week
7:58
long.
7:59
Yeah.
8:02
Lito could live on pizza.
8:05
I used to be able to.
8:08
I just couldn't anymore.
8:09
Oh, I probably, if it,
8:11
we gotta be specific about the pizza
8:13
though.
8:14
There's a place down here called, uh, Oh,
8:18
good Lord diversion pizza.
8:19
Uh, and I could live off their pizza.
8:22
It's handmade and like,
8:24
it's not dominoes and bullshit and
8:26
whatnot.
8:26
Like I could live off of that.
8:28
Uh, Megan, I used to be friends.
8:33
She said sandwiches shouldn't be hot.
8:35
She's out of her mind.
8:36
I'm going to text her later and be
8:38
like, you're out of your mind.
8:40
You go to the French Quarter and you
8:45
get a po' boy.
8:47
And that baby's pressed on that flat iron.
8:53
Like there is nothing better in the world
8:57
than that.
8:58
Dude, a hot roast beef.
9:00
With gravy?
9:03
Andouille sausage with a little bit of red
9:05
sauce?
9:07
Mothers has a thing called a debris po'
9:09
boy where you get the gravy and you
9:12
get,
9:13
it's literally the debris so all the
9:15
chunks of meat that was soaking in just
9:17
goes all up on there.
9:19
Sometimes you can get the debris gravy on
9:22
a fried shrimp po' boy and that will
9:26
change your entire life.
9:28
Tell you that right now.
9:30
Yes, G needs to make us all soon.
9:33
She described a sandwich one day,
9:35
and I almost drove to Long Island that
9:41
minute.
9:42
I'm heading over right now.
9:45
I was going to camp out until the
9:47
store opened the next morning.
9:49
Well, luckily, we know Garrett.
9:50
And I'm going to be like, hey, man,
9:53
I need you to take care of that
9:54
for me.
9:55
Whatever that was you were talking about,
9:56
I need to get some of that.
9:59
Yeah.
10:01
Try Red Apron, you get a live chicken.
10:09
Corey be eating those muffaladas.
10:11
Gosh, I love a muffalada too.
10:13
I can't eat a whole muffalada.
10:15
I can eat,
10:16
and I cannot eat an entire muffalada.
10:17
I can eat a half a muffalada,
10:19
but I ain't doing much else the rest
10:20
of the day if I do.
10:21
I was so excited.
10:23
We went to a restaurant here a couple
10:24
years ago,
10:25
and they had muffalada on the menu.
10:28
I was like, oh.
10:30
yes that thing came it was the farthest
10:33
thing from a real muffalada no you got
10:36
to get one from central grocery in new
10:38
orleans it should have just been picked up
10:41
off the plate and thrown in the trash
10:43
that's all it was good for show you
10:45
what this is gonna be all right for
10:49
uh chicken and fried eggs for lunch here
10:52
that sounds good too are you mad at
10:56
that
10:58
John George wants to know if someone's
10:59
just going to show up with a big
11:00
ass fan at your gym.
11:03
I mean,
11:03
they dropped off a microwave with an
11:06
unpopped bag of popcorn in the microwave.
11:11
It's the weirdest thing, dude.
11:14
Like who's riding around with that?
11:15
It's like, fuck this.
11:16
I'm going to drop this off right here
11:17
in front of this gym.
11:18
Surely these people could use that.
11:21
The best part about it is if you
11:22
go around the corner, there's a dumpster.
11:27
And when I say around the corner,
11:28
I mean, like,
11:28
to the end of the building,
11:29
which is not far.
11:31
It's, like, it's twenty-five meters.
11:34
There's a dumpster right back there.
11:35
Like,
11:35
you could have just dropped it in a
11:36
dumpster.
11:36
Instead,
11:36
they just put it in front of the
11:38
roll-up doors.
11:40
Yeah.
11:41
Savant says, like and subscribe.
11:42
I like that.
11:44
Big fan.
11:45
He also will eat any sandwich made for
11:47
him.
11:48
Same, dude.
11:49
You make me a sandwich?
11:53
That's love.
11:55
Um...
11:56
I stayed at Disney's Port Orleans Hotel,
11:58
couldn't get enough of the beignets.
12:00
I think I'm good for life.
12:02
I'm not a huge beignet fan,
12:04
and I know I'm just not a big
12:05
donut guy.
12:06
Any kind of like fried dough,
12:09
that's never been my jam.
12:11
But man, muffalettas, po'boys, all that,
12:16
some gumbo, I'm all in.
12:24
All right.
12:25
Let's talk a little bit.
12:27
Oh, God.
12:27
Gator sausage.
12:28
That's good, too.
12:29
I hate to admit it, but damn,
12:31
that's good.
12:32
I could send you some gator sausage
12:33
tomorrow if you want.
12:36
I'm sure you can.
12:37
I really can.
12:38
There's several places down here that sell
12:41
it.
12:41
I could ship you some tomorrow.
12:44
I wanted to take a minute because we
12:46
just had...
12:49
the French showdown,
12:51
one person in our chat was there live.
12:53
She, uh,
12:57
she got her ticket to the games in
12:59
the thirty five to thirty nine year old
13:00
division.
13:02
If you didn't see her,
13:02
you weren't looking because the bright red
13:05
hair, it's impossible.
13:07
The zebra striped pants.
13:10
You couldn't miss her.
13:13
And, um,
13:15
What I'll say is she sent me a
13:16
recap of her experience at the French
13:18
Throwdown.
13:18
Awesome.
13:20
And I want to read a couple things
13:21
from that.
13:22
And it's Lito Calagiani.
13:25
Calagiani.
13:29
She said the attention to detail was
13:30
insane.
13:32
They had people constantly cleaning the
13:33
lanes.
13:34
As an athlete,
13:35
you couldn't leave your stuff anywhere.
13:39
Anywhere you wanted so it wouldn't look
13:41
untidy.
13:43
If you...
13:47
How you do anything is how you do
13:49
everything.
13:50
Correct.
13:51
Right.
13:52
If you're worried about how tidy the place
13:54
looks,
13:56
then you're paying attention to all the
13:57
detail.
13:59
Correct.
14:00
I like that a lot.
14:03
there were volunteers whose job it was to
14:05
wipe the barbells from chalk so athletes
14:09
wouldn't have to.
14:10
The crowd, electric.
14:12
Spectators showed up and they were loud,
14:15
even for Masters.
14:16
I've never competed in such a full arena
14:18
before.
14:19
Even the secondary arena was half full
14:22
during Masters events.
14:23
I didn't even know there was a secondary
14:26
arena.
14:28
I was today years old when I found
14:29
that out.
14:35
Part of the reason why is probably because
14:37
spectator tickets were quite cheap.
14:39
Anyway,
14:40
anywhere from eighty to one hundred twenty
14:42
five euros,
14:43
that would equate to ninety to one hundred
14:44
and forty five bucks for a three day
14:46
pass.
14:48
OK,
14:49
that's what they charge for one day at
14:52
Legends and the Masters games last year.
14:57
um even for us athletes the entry fee
15:00
was only uh two hundred fifty euros for
15:03
three days two hundred ninety bucks um it
15:07
was not that for magic city uh the
15:10
vendor village was very well positioned so
15:13
you had to walk through it on the
15:15
way in and out of the venue
15:20
Regarding Carolyn's comment,
15:22
so Sunday Night Carolyn made a comment
15:24
that three spots for ten people seemed
15:27
excessive.
15:29
Uh,
15:31
Lito says, it is true,
15:32
it is kind of wild,
15:33
but also that field was vetted a lot.
15:36
Half of us came from their online
15:37
qualifier with strict video review among
15:41
dozens of people from all over the world
15:43
as anyone could sign up.
15:45
Then the other five were invited from
15:46
quarters, top five in Europe,
15:49
where they ended up backfilling a couple
15:51
of spots down,
15:52
but was pretty much some of the top
15:54
in Europe.
15:58
And the last thing is I made a
15:59
comment about a lot of false starts that
16:01
I saw.
16:02
She said there was a difference between
16:06
the countdown clock and the beep.
16:10
Oh.
16:12
So some people were looking up at the
16:14
countdown clock,
16:16
some people listening to the beep,
16:18
and that gave that illusion of a false
16:20
start.
16:22
Okay.
16:25
You had to be listening for the beep,
16:26
I saw.
16:27
Mm-hmm.
16:28
Yeah.
16:31
It's funny.
16:32
They didn't say that, you know, like,
16:34
you know what I mean?
16:36
Like, Hey, go by the beat,
16:39
not by the wall.
16:41
That's just for the fans or whatever.
16:43
But overall,
16:44
like everything from a viewer's
16:46
perspective, this weekend was awesome.
16:48
And it's good to hear the athletes had
16:51
the same, um,
16:56
The same experience.
16:58
And that there were big crowds there.
17:00
And I didn't even know there were two
17:01
arenas.
17:02
Holy shit.
17:03
Yeah, that's a lot.
17:04
So that means they were spread out among
17:06
the two.
17:08
It's a good thing.
17:09
Yeah.
17:10
It's a good thing.
17:11
Instead of just having one floor,
17:12
you can have multiple things going on at
17:14
the same time.
17:15
did you um did you watch any of
17:18
the action at all this weekend i watched
17:20
very little of it friday saturday uh
17:23
jameson's softball tournament got
17:25
rescheduled to saturday so i was at uh
17:28

17:30

17:48

17:51
damn about and she's she's getting good
17:52

17:56

17:57
the online semi i talked about the false
17:59
starts at french that was me that was
18:01
on me carolyn uh pedro had issues with
18:09
the schedule for the secondary arena sadly
18:18
I have no idea.
18:18
I know that the parts I did get
18:20
to listen to him doing the broadcast,
18:22
he was fantastic.
18:25
He was really, really doing a good job.
18:26
He's natural, dude.
18:27
Just doesn't really get too excited,
18:30
but he's just talking about what he sees,
18:32
and he's pretty good at talking.
18:37
it was so laid back it was i
18:40
heard um the wad prep people last night
18:43
talking about claire was talking about
18:46
it's not your like straight laced
18:48
professional broadcast and she loved that
18:51
yeah she loved that it wasn't and and
18:55
i kind of get it it was
18:57
it was just different sometimes you just
18:59
get fatigued from the same voice over and
19:03
over again you could see oh you could
19:06
tell that he could see the chat
19:10
He would answer questions every once in a
19:12
while or just bring up something that
19:13
somebody said.
19:14
He was shamelessly plugging his own coffee
19:19
pods and wads, which is good for him.
19:22
He promoted us too.
19:24
He also sent people to us Friday.
19:29
It sounded like he was enjoying himself.
19:32
It wasn't just like,
19:33
even though I'm sure it was a long
19:34
ass day,
19:36
but it just sounded like he was
19:38
You know,
19:39
he was putting as much of himself into
19:41
it as he, as he could.
19:42
I'm sure he probably took a couple of
19:43
days to just mentally unwind after that.
19:47
Cause that's gotta be a lot, dude.
19:49
I cannot imagine calling like that for an
19:52
entire day.
19:54
Yeah.
19:55
Beginners, intermediates, RX, elites,
19:59
teams, teens, masters.
20:02
Yeah.
20:03
and and vicky's right it did not seem
20:06
forced at all no and what was the
20:09
fact that he took time out to promote
20:12
all the other media people in the space
20:16
like he didn't have to do that he's
20:18
on this stage where he's the only show
20:21
in town well last year they had him
20:23
in a closet so he's got him he's
20:26
he's upgraded
20:28
And then pulling in like BKG and pulling
20:31
in Nick Johnston and pulling in Harry
20:34
Lightfoot's coach and all of that
20:36
throughout the broadcast.
20:37
Like only because of the relationships
20:39
he's formed in the space can he do
20:42
that.
20:42
Yeah.
20:43
I would agree.
20:47
And it was crazy, crazy good.
20:55
So there's that.
20:57
I don't know if you took time to
20:59
do this.
21:00
I'm probably one of the few who did.
21:02
Watched John Young's prediction of what
21:06
current athletes would win the twenty
21:08
fourteen CrossFit Games.
21:10
No,
21:11
I did not have time to do that
21:12
yet.
21:13
I really want to check it out because
21:15
John Young is insane in the very best
21:17
way.
21:18
I love that, dude.
21:20
But I need to check it out.
21:23
I I do want to say.
21:26
anybody who just in their spare time goes
21:29
through that much research and does a
21:32
hypothetical about something that
21:33
happened.
21:36
Two, ten years ago, twelve years ago,
21:38
twelve years ago,
21:41
has way too much time on his hands
21:43
and needs to go on at least seven
21:45
more podcasts a week because that's just
21:48
too much.
21:50
John Young is everywhere.
21:54
It's fantastic.
21:55
Um,
21:58
John Young or John George has J Y
22:01
fatigue.
22:05
I, I get that.
22:06
I, you know, I,
22:09
I keep getting clipped for saying I have
22:11
boys interrupted fatigue that it was just,
22:17
if you listen to the whole thing,
22:18
like I have,
22:19
I don't have fatigue over the boys
22:21
themselves.
22:22
The group keep getting pulled into
22:24
everything.
22:25
Anyway,
22:26
I don't need to defend that anymore.
22:27
No.
22:31
Mark says he tried,
22:32
but it was just too much to get
22:33
through.
22:33
But what was crazy is I think it
22:36
proved two things.
22:40
One,
22:42
because of I do respect the amount of
22:44
research he did because it did.
22:48
I couldn't argue with the placings too
22:51
much in each event because
22:55
I mean,
22:55
I could quibble over a place here or
22:57
there, but at the end of the day,
22:58
it's not going to make a huge difference.
22:59
Right.
23:01
And the people rise to the top.
23:06
The same fit people rise to the top.
23:12
The other thing it shows is everything
23:15
that people are complaining about Dave
23:18
about is
23:22
They say that twenty fourteen was the best
23:25
CrossFit games ever.
23:27
And it still did things that people bitch
23:29
about today.
23:30
Yeah.
23:31
Right.
23:32
The programming still did the same stuff.
23:35
Then we thought it was the greatest ever.
23:37
Now we're bitching about it.
23:41
People are not happy unless they have
23:43
something to complain about.
23:46
And so I found that that was an
23:49
interesting revelation because if you
23:51
don't remember in they did the
23:54
back-to-back sprint sled races.
23:57
Yep.
23:59
Those were both a hundred points.
24:03
There was the exact same event twice.
24:06
We're just going to do it twice.
24:07
Now what it did test is fatigue.
24:12
Yeah.
24:13
Recovering.
24:14
so right anybody can do an event at
24:18
the best of their ability the first time
24:21
through it's who can then turn around a
24:24
minute later and do it again one of
24:29
my favorite things to tell everybody all
24:30
right rest five minutes turn around do it
24:32
again backwards
24:34
see what it looks like yeah brandon
24:37
actually programmed stuff like i mean it's
24:38
it's it's almost interval work at that
24:40
point you just did it cool we're gonna
24:42
run everybody through it and we're gonna
24:44
run everybody through it again see who can
24:46
repeat their first effort the one thing
24:48
that fourteen didn't have was machines
24:52
yeah good yeah that part i loved uh
25:00
jody says twenty fourteen with a heart
25:05
um just rumors twenty eighteen was the
25:07
best year i i would say seventeen was
25:11
better than eighteen i don't know dude uh
25:15
eighteen's got matt and uh pat falling off
25:20
the cargo net yeah seventeen had the o
25:24
course but it was a sprint o course
25:28
Mm-hmm.
25:28
It had Strongman Sphere, Seventeen.
25:31
It had Kara and Tia right to the
25:35
end of the competition.
25:36
Yeah.
25:38
Trading blows the entire time.
25:41
Eighteen also had the,
25:43
when they did the total,
25:44
Sarah Sigma's daughter.
25:47
PRs are deadlift with a cracked rib.
25:51
Like,
25:53
I would, I would,
25:54
I don't want to say argue,
25:55
but I would say that.
25:57
Seventeen and eighteen is like a,
26:00
for me anyway, because that's more my,
26:03
like I watched the eighteen games as
26:05
first,
26:05
my first one I ever watched live on
26:07
TV,
26:08
that it's a one and a one day
26:10
when you go back and look at them
26:11
just from the amount of fun,
26:15
exciting things that took place.
26:19
Vicky created a new event,
26:20
Strong and Fear,
26:22
is one of her favorite events to watch.
26:25
And then she did correct it to Strongman.
26:28
So I'm probably biased because I was a
26:31
volunteer at the twenty seventeen games.
26:33
Sure.
26:34
I worked Strongman's Fear.
26:36
Like, we were in that.
26:38
If you remember, the floor was elevated.
26:40
There was a pit around it.
26:42
Yeah,
26:42
that's Matt Fraser diving across the line.
26:45
And falling off the side.
26:47
And falling off the end and still didn't
26:51
get the win.
26:53
And we were in that pit resetting that
26:56
equipment after every round.
26:59
And it just was one of the most
27:00
fun things I ever did in my life.
27:04
I bet.
27:05
And to get that close and personal to
27:07
the event, and if people don't remember,
27:10
yeah, it came down to Cara and Tia.
27:14
Sarah Sigmundsdottir at the Strongman
27:16
Sphere event had the leader's jersey on.
27:18
Yes, she did.
27:21
So it was,
27:23
the women's side of the event was a
27:26
crazy, crazy competition.
27:28
That was good stuff, Dean.
27:32
Like Dan said,
27:34
the year of the national champ,
27:37
he said fights,
27:38
but was entertaining for the first event.
27:42
The thing that sticks out with me the
27:43
most,
27:44
that's the year Ben Smith got the
27:45
invitation, right?
27:46
Because he didn't qualify.
27:47
So the extended invitations, Ben, Ben,
27:50
ten.
27:50
So twenty nineteen.
27:52
First event starts,
27:53
he's in the first heat.
27:55
And my buddy Aaron described it perfectly.
27:58
He said he just,
27:59
you watch Ben Smith just wade through this
28:01
mass of humanity.
28:05
People are failing snatches,
28:07
people are failing rope climbs,
28:08
and Ben's just kicking on through like it
28:11
ain't no big deal and just rutting on
28:13
through.
28:14
That was fun to watch.
28:16
That was absolutely fun to watch.
28:19
And then finding out later that Pat
28:22
Vellner basically threatened to kick the
28:24
shit out of Sean Sweeney if he didn't
28:26
quit acting the ass for the crowd and
28:29
the camera.
28:31
I never would have seen that coming.
28:33
Some of us are here to do a
28:34
thing, man.
28:35
Keep that shit to yourself.
28:42
To me, the downfall of the games...
28:47
And its popularity has to do with all
28:50
of a sudden this notion that we need
28:53
to shrink it down to make it fit
28:54
overseas.
28:55
Yeah, I didn't like that.
28:57
The best events were out on that North
29:00
Park course or at the soccer stadium.
29:06
The snail, the pigs, the berm run,
29:13
all that stuff.
29:13
Like that was...
29:16
Those are the memorable events.
29:20
Noah Olsen loading up his wheelbarrow.
29:24
Noah Olsen loading up his wheelbarrow with
29:27
every sandbag, picking it up,
29:29
and it falls over.
29:31
Like he doesn't get two steps.
29:33
Yeah.
29:34
Oh my God.
29:36
Like that's the kind of sub you did.
29:38
That just happened.
29:39
Cause you know how much work it took
29:41
for him to get them all the way
29:42
down there to his wheelbarrow.
29:43
And now he can't lie.
29:44
We got to start all over loading them
29:46
back.
29:46
Like the burden run watching, uh, uh,
29:54
goodness, Sam Briggs lap people.
29:58
Yeah.
30:01
on the berm run.
30:03
And look,
30:03
coming by and just tapping Camille on the
30:05
shoulder like, hey, you're doing great,
30:07
sweetie.
30:07
I'm going to go ahead and goodbye you.
30:11
What's funny is the first year they did
30:12
the wheelbarrow and the wheelbarrows fell
30:14
apart because they went to like Home Depot
30:17
and assembled them.
30:19
And then the second year they did that,
30:21
Rogue made a wheelbarrow.
30:24
They used to have that in their showroom.
30:27
One of those.
30:27
Oh, I bet.
30:30
I think you could run a dump truck
30:33
over it and it wouldn't bend.
30:35
If it's made by Rogue, dude, like,
30:38
no problem believing that whatsoever.
30:42
And that wasn't even in the soccer
30:44
stadium.
30:44
That was in the tennis stadium,
30:46
the smaller venue.
30:48
But it was all outdoors.
30:49
It all had, like, different element.
30:53
I just,
30:53
I think we're missing out with being,
30:56
not being outdoors anymore.
30:58
Yeah, I don't,
30:58
I'm not a fan of that either.
31:02
Um, dude, they fly everybody to the ranch.
31:06
Yeah.
31:07
We're going to run a seven K and
31:09
then we're going to do a deadlift ladder.
31:11
Then we're going to do the hill sprint
31:13
again.
31:14
Hope you guys are ready.
31:17
Um, just for me,
31:18
Betsy can bend it with his dump truck.
31:25
I'd never doubt you, Joseph.
31:26
Never.
31:30
So it was an interesting thing.
31:32
It is a long podcast.
31:33
I mean,
31:34
I think it was two hours going through
31:36
event by event and the leaderboard changes
31:39
throughout.
31:42
But interesting,
31:44
I would say interesting watch.
31:45
Oh, I'm sure.
31:47
But it does get a little repetitive
31:49
towards the end because you kind of know
31:51
Tia's going to win them all or at
31:54
least finish in the top five and
31:56
everything.
31:57
might not win every single one but she's
31:59
going to do enough to separate herself
32:01
from everybody yeah wait till you see the
32:07
barack obama boulevard takeover this year
32:13
yeah someone in the comments made a good
32:16
point that because you know dave put out
32:19
that thing that big bob could use
32:24
It's wildfire season.
32:25
We can't have sparks flying up off of
32:27
Barack Obama Boulevard.
32:32
Noted.
32:34
Right.
32:38
The last thing I wanted to talk about,
32:40
and this is about being a coach.
32:43
Everything we... So,
32:45
Jamie and I got into a fight on
32:46
Sunday night.
32:47
I know that's a shocker.
32:48
I am.
32:49
Yeah, I'm flabbergasted.
32:51
That...
32:56
athletes are gonna athlete they're going
32:58
to they are going to try to cut
33:01
corners and they're going to try to ride
33:03
a line and that it needs to stop
33:07
because it's leaking into the gym that's
33:11
that her argument and i'm like you're
33:15
never going to get it stopping leaking
33:16
from the gym because little leaguers are
33:18
emulating baseball players every day
33:22
You know,
33:22
football players emulate football players.
33:25
It just is what it is.
33:28
But my question to you is,
33:29
what about the reverse?
33:31
Do you think coaches are emulating judges
33:36
in the classroom?
33:38
Oh, I do.
33:41
So when you go up to an athlete
33:43
and you're like, no rep.
33:46
I won't yell no rep at somebody during
33:48
class.
33:49
I'm not doing that.
33:53
and I did it Saturday,
33:54
I will come up to you and be
33:57
like, hey, stand all the way up.
34:01
Extend your hips.
34:03
Like we had synchro kettlebell goblet
34:06
squats Saturday, and I,
34:09
one hundred percent,
34:09
told two of the girls, I was like,
34:10
hey, stand all the way up.
34:12
You have to stand all the way up.
34:14
You have to squat a little parallel.
34:15
So I think that's fine.
34:17
If you're a coach and you're worried about
34:20
movement quality,
34:25
I think that's the terminology because I
34:27
was listening to Hobart and Savan and
34:28
Sousa talk yesterday,
34:31
and they kept saying movement quality,
34:34
movement standards.
34:36
In competition,
34:37
even in the judge's course you're taught,
34:39
it doesn't matter about the quality as
34:41
long as they reach the points of
34:43
performance, right?
34:44
Doesn't matter how ugly it looks as long
34:46
as they're below parallel.
34:49
But movement quality matters more in the
34:52
gym, right?
34:55
And according to Dave Castro,
34:57
James Hobart is the best mover he's seen.
35:01
But I think that – stop kissing up.
35:05
He's happy to be in a chat.
35:09
So my point is,
35:12
are the coaches focused on movement
35:14
quality or
35:17
or movement standards because that's what
35:18
they watch on the weekend.
35:21
And I've seen both.
35:22
I've seen both in my time at gyms.
35:29
That's an excellent question.
35:30
I don't think there needs to be a
35:32
line of delineation because what they were
35:36
talking about this morning,
35:38
Rich moves extremely well,
35:40
and he also moves extremely fast.
35:43
That's an outlier.
35:45
there are athletes that move really well
35:48
but there are successful athletes that did
35:51
not move well yeah chandler smith right so
35:56
god bless him he's fit as all get
35:58
out but his front rack is horrible it's
36:01
almost non-existent right but but those
36:07
athletes
36:09
movement quality and i i see the comments
36:13
right movement quality is not the top
36:16
priority it's getting done faster yeah but
36:20
what carolyn's saying is one hundred
36:22
percent correct better movement quality
36:24
will lead to more efficient movements and
36:26
therefore you lose use less energy and
36:28
therefore you can move better again it
36:30
builds on itself
36:34
But I know people that have like a
36:35
really deep squat that is not advantageous
36:38
for them to do that in a competition.
36:41
No,
36:42
but that's something that you need to...
36:43
It's below parallel.
36:45
Right.
36:45
You don't need to ask the grass every
36:47
single time if you're in a competition.
36:49
You need to make sure you hit whatever
36:51
standard that they have.
36:53
Because if not, you're just... Yeah,
36:55
you can get to a point where you're
36:56
wasting energy.
36:57
Yeah, absolutely.
36:59
but we should chase trying to become the
37:02
outlier.
37:02
That is the fundamental premise of our
37:04
CrossFit level one technique lecture.
37:07
You need to do both.
37:07
Well,
37:09
I agree in the gym and with the
37:11
level one,
37:12
how many athletes don't even have their L
37:14
one?
37:14
Yeah.
37:14
I'm going at my L two this fall.
37:21
So,
37:21
so like an athlete hasn't even seen that
37:25
lecture.
37:28
That's only now.
37:29
Coaches can train that in the gym.
37:33
Yeah.
37:36
The staggering number of...
37:40
elite athletes who have not attended an
37:42
l-one who have absolutely no idea i just
37:45
they know the sport they've been coached
37:47
whatever and their coach is coaching them
37:49
i think that's what you're getting at to
37:51
do it as quickly as possible while hitting
37:53
the standard not necessarily as efficient
37:55
as efficiently as possible right not
37:58
necessarily going like i'm not going to go
38:01
i'm going to go here instead of here
38:04
right
38:06
That's a whole other issue.
38:08
I think I would... But in the gym,
38:12
you wouldn't deter the athlete that goes
38:14
four inches below parallel and has an
38:16
increased range of motion.
38:18
That's healthy.
38:20
Correct.
38:21
I would also, uh, in the gym,
38:24
in a gym setting, in a class setting,
38:26
then that person is moving that well,
38:28
then I'm, I'm not correcting that.
38:31
I might adjust some other things if they
38:33
need me, but that's, that's,
38:35
that's a delineation, a separation,
38:37
separating the sport from the methodology
38:40
at that point.
38:43
I don't like watching bad movers move
38:45
fast.
38:47
I just don't.
38:49
Because a lot of the times it looks
38:52
like bad quality movement because they're
38:54
moving that fast and it might not be
38:57
right.
38:58
But I think that makes it that, that,
39:00
and I'm sure Birch Birch probably has a
39:02
whole litany of stuff to talk about as
39:04
far as that's concerned.
39:05
Um,
39:05
but judging that has gotta be not fun
39:10
watching somebody who's doing awkward
39:12
looking stuff, but it's still moving fast.
39:14
Cause it happens.
39:16
If I train with shitty movement,
39:21
for long enough to where i get really
39:22
efficient at doing something really
39:24
terrible then that's just going to be my
39:26
movement pattern it's going to be hard to
39:27
break out of that and once you do
39:31
break starting to break out starting to
39:32
fix something like that is it's going to
39:35
feel weird for the athlete for quite some
39:37
time i've had to do that with a
39:40
couple different people at the gym like
39:42
you've been moving like this for so long
39:44
this is the only way you know how
39:45
to move my analogy for this is
39:51
If you watched Pete Rose bat,
39:54
you would never teach a young baseball
39:57
player to hit like that.
39:59
No.
39:59
Trying to explain to my daughter why some
40:02
of the girls bat the way they do
40:05
that she sees like on YouTube or whatnot.
40:07
We watch softball highlights and explain
40:09
to her that that's probably not a good
40:11
idea for you to do because that's just
40:12
how they've been doing it for so long.
40:13
Yeah.
40:14
Yeah.
40:16
but Pete Rose went on to hit,
40:17
have more hits than anybody in the history
40:19
of baseball,
40:20
but it would never be the way you
40:22
would teach somebody to do it.
40:25
And I think we've got to get out
40:26
of the room just because this guy at
40:29
the CrossFit games or a semifinal did it
40:32
that way.
40:33
We shouldn't be doing that in the gym.
40:34
Yeah.
40:38
Um,
40:42
James is saying,
40:42
range of motion is a point of performance
40:44
for any movement.
40:45
Sport has just made range of motion the
40:47
most important one.
40:49
Coaches have the hard job of improving all
40:51
points of performance for athletes.
40:55
Sean says,
40:56
as long as there's a whiteboard,
40:57
people will sacrifice movement quality for
40:59
higher scores.
41:01
I agree there are a group that do
41:02
that.
41:03
It is an unfortunate fact.
41:07
The other thing I want to say is,
41:08
when I first started judging sports,
41:11
I was coaching every day of the week
41:15
going and then judging and trying to turn
41:17
off the coach and just viewing standards
41:23
to judge was very hard, very hard to,
41:29
to turn that off,
41:31
to be a good judge.
41:32
It's not the same thing.
41:35
It's not.
41:35
It's not.
41:37
And, and it's, yeah, it,
41:41
It would be frustrating.
41:41
It's why I don't like judging.
41:45
Like you are hard,
41:46
you hard pressed to get me to actually
41:48
judge you unless it's like one person.
41:51
There's a couple of people at my gym.
41:52
I will judge if they asked me to,
41:55
but it's really hard for me to turn
41:58
most of my coach brain off and just
42:00
sit there and go yes or no,
42:02
that rep counted or that rep didn't
42:04
because I want to fix it.
42:08
Like, and it drives me bananas.
42:11
Barry Bonds,
42:12
greatest home run hitter of all time.
42:14
One of the worst batting stances too.
42:17
Yeah, but he smashed that thing though.
42:22
Some people just have that innate ability
42:23
to be able to perform athletically in a
42:27
way that doesn't make sense.
42:35
Thus,
42:35
it's painful watching women do heavy
42:36
squats,
42:37
knees in and ass rising before the
42:39
shoulders.
42:40
It's so hard.
42:43
So hard.
42:46
Tia Claire Toomey.
42:48
Her knees cave on almost every heavy squat
42:52
I've ever seen her do.
42:53
Her knees either almost touch sometimes
42:55
before she gets all the way up.
42:57
She's the best to ever do it.
42:59
Best.
43:01
By far.
43:01
Best.
43:04
Carolyn says too many people early on in
43:06
their career sacrificed mechanics and
43:07
consistency for intensity.
43:10
And I think that goes back to most
43:13
athletes don't have a level one.
43:16
Most athletes today, I won't say most,
43:19
a lot of athletes today are training in
43:21
their garages or their own facilities.
43:27
So they're not being coached mechanics or,
43:32
they're not trained the mci of it all
43:37
yeah and we're not talking about the phone
43:38
plan not the phone plan it's the same
43:40
thing i think every time i put it
43:42
together mci and i got to stop myself
43:44
and see if they're going to ask me
43:45
if it's a phone plan or not
43:48
I try to,
43:50
especially with the newer people,
43:52
more people that have been there for a
43:54
while or actively trying to get better,
43:58
not just trying to have a good hour
44:01
of their day.
44:01
I'm like, look,
44:03
I want you to move well before anything.
44:05
So that's mechanics, how you move.
44:08
I have that conversation at least once a
44:10
week with somebody that I'm coaching.
44:12
Mechanics,
44:12
then we're going to do it consistently.
44:14
Then we'll worry about added intensity.
44:16
The speed will come.
44:18
The speed will come.
44:20
The more you do this,
44:21
as long as you're moving well,
44:22
eventually you will get faster,
44:24
whether you want to or not.
44:26
If you do it long enough and you
44:27
start, you know, just come to class,
44:29
really all you need to do,
44:31
let us handle the rest,
44:32
but you got to listen.
44:34
Um, Carolyn says,
44:35
I think a lot of athletes are actually
44:37
in affiliates now,
44:38
but my argument to that would be,
44:40
they may be in the affiliate,
44:41
but they're not doing class.
44:42
They're not being,
44:43
it's not a coach driven Jason Hopper
44:46
program that they're doing.
44:50
Right.
44:52
Jason Hopper's not in my five thirty
44:54
class.
44:54
I. Yeah,
45:00
I think really good athletes are skipping
45:02
the step of going and doing classes at
45:05
a CrossFit gym and learning the MCI of
45:08
it all.
45:11
Not just learning, but living it.
45:12
You can't just go, oh yeah,
45:14
I need to move well.
45:15
And then just kind of go through the
45:18
motions.
45:18
Like you need to actually believe in it
45:21
and implement it.
45:24
It's going to make you a better athlete.
45:29
It will.
45:29
But when I got my own one and
45:31
started coaching and whatnot,
45:32
it made me a better athlete.
45:35
Yeah.
45:38
Corey, at my age,
45:38
I don't need to go faster,
45:40
just last longer.
45:41
It's all about priorities, Joseph.
45:49
David Reed,
45:50
that's why many of the old school CrossFit
45:52
athletes move better.
45:53
Hobart and Rich are two examples,
45:55
arguably the best movers ever.
45:57
Taylor Self is a modern athlete who moves
45:59
unbelievably well.
46:00
Unbelievably well.
46:06
There's a lot of athletes that move well.
46:09
It's just easy to pick out the ones
46:10
that don't.
46:12
Well,
46:12
it's because the ones that don't stand
46:15
out.
46:17
Yeah.
46:19
In a sea of people doing the exact
46:21
same thing, when one person is,
46:25
everybody else is doing this,
46:27
and that one person is doing this,
46:29
you're going to see that.
46:30
You can't not see it.
46:37
But I do agree with the efficiency of
46:40
it all.
46:41
The more efficient you are,
46:43
the longer you're going to be able to
46:45
sustain the intensity.
46:49
It's why Rich never looked like he was
46:51
in a hurry when he was on the
46:53
floor.
46:55
He put it in gear.
46:58
and first couple rounds people were way
47:01
out in front of him and he just
47:02
walked him on in and beat everybody beat
47:05
the brakes off everybody it's because he
47:07
moved as well as he did yeah or
47:13
take his throwing out some people who move
47:14
out like dallin and colton they do there's
47:17
a lot of good movers and there's a
47:20
lot of people that skirt the line
47:24
It just is the way sports are.
47:26
Ken Griffey Jr.
47:27
had a beautiful swing.
47:30
And he was great.
47:32
Barry Bonds, not so much.
47:33
Still great.
47:34
Still great.
47:35
And the same thing happens in CrossFit.
47:37
All right, guys.
47:43
I have a busy work day.
47:45
I've hit the end of my lunch hour.
47:48
