Colten Mertens Joins the Show | 2025 CrossFit Open Recap and 25.2 Preview · The Spin Podcast

• 0:33
  Welcome to the Spin. Hell, there he is.
• 0:35
  He's already running back. Welcome to the spin.
• 0:39
  March 5th we are joined by the world record holder. 25.1 breaks
• 0:47
  the scorecard, calls a shot the one and only Colton Mertens.
• 0:53
  Welcome to the show. What's up fellas?
• 0:57
  Did did T-Mobile team proud coming in at #1 boosting up that
• 1:03
  percentile? Because I pulled it down pretty
• 1:05
  hard. Yeah, well first before we get
• 1:11
  into fitness, I wanted to see did did you ever find a home for
• 1:14
  the last puppy of your litter? Yes, order yesterday.
• 1:19
  Somebody in Cedar Falls, IA is going to buy her.
• 1:22
  So that's the last one gone. I won't.
• 1:25
  I think we're better. Better.
• 1:26
  It'll be late late this year probably.
• 1:29
  You need to get on 7. I think he's itching to get get
• 1:32
  another dog, so he was kind of thinking about it.
• 1:35
  So I saw it, I shared it with with my wife and she was like, I
• 1:41
  need that. I was like.
• 1:43
  Are you serious? And she's like, no, I can't do
• 1:48
  another dog. We have 3 three's enough right
• 1:50
  now. I was like, you sure?
• 1:51
  Well. The thing is, having four dogs
• 1:54
  is barely any more than having three.
• 1:56
  Like 1. One is a lot more than 0, but 4
• 1:59
  is pretty much the same as 3. Yeah.
• 2:02
  Yeah, I think if we didn't have our Basset Hound, we might do
• 2:05
  it. The Basset Hound is very, very
• 2:07
  needy. So yeah.
• 2:08
  A good Basset Hound in a minute. Oh dude, that was a great idea.
• 2:14
  And it is very, very. Intense.
• 2:16
  I wanted to get some of those to breed along with my Wiener dogs
• 2:20
  when we first started Bally. Wouldn't that me?
• 2:23
  Man, I, I feel like they used to be like real common to see,
• 2:25
  especially like in Kentucky. Everybody had one and now I
• 2:28
  don't ever see them anymore. There's one that lives in
• 2:30
  Hillsborough. They used to chase me when I run
• 2:33
  through Hillsborough. Since you're not a really little
• 2:36
  asshole. Well, we got, we got all of
• 2:39
  Colton's puppy. We, we left for, for that
• 2:44
  Yellowstone trip right after and she, the Basset Hound got very,
• 2:51
  very upset that we are gone and like was losing her mind.
• 2:56
  And then we came back and had the puppy and she was just not
• 2:59
  doing well. So it was bad.
• 3:02
  But anyway, 361 reps you called it back on Pedro's show when you
• 3:13
  see the workout announced, I mean, are you just immediately
• 3:18
  knowing that this is like, this is how I'm going to do it?
• 3:21
  Like what? What do you do when you hear the
• 3:23
  workout and are you watching the live show?
• 3:25
  Those types of things. Yeah, I was listening to the the
• 3:29
  live show through my headphones. I was at the farm watching the
• 3:32
  pig barn. But I have I have like YouTube
• 3:34
  open in my pocket and I was listening to it my my little
• 3:37
  blue tooth headphones that go underneath like the noise
• 3:40
  cancelling ones. So I was listening to it and at
• 3:44
  first I didn't really understand it because I thought they're
• 3:46
  going to be lunging with a dumbbell.
• 3:49
  So that was kind of interesting that we didn't have a dumbbell.
• 3:53
  But then afterwards I rewatched the watch Austin, Rich Roman and
• 3:59
  Haley go and the Austin scored probably be a pretty good one
• 4:04
  and I didn't think it. So it ended up being like top
• 4:06
  ten and I knew that I wanted to break the round of 30, get into
• 4:11
  the round of 33. I was honestly hoping to get
• 4:15
  like 20 burpees in into it, but I always make this mistake like
• 4:22
  I consume a lot of CrossFit content because I'm really, I'm
• 4:25
  just in a CrossFit. And so I watched like pretty
• 4:28
  much every YouTube video where there's somebody breaking down
• 4:31
  25.1 and all of them are. Like you still do that?
• 4:36
  I do have them like I'm telling me so, like they're not talking
• 4:38
  to you. Like don't take their.
• 4:39
  Advice because every one of them taste this workout badly.
• 4:44
  Guys, go slower than you think. They kept saying I paced the
• 4:49
  burpees, the lunges don't matter.
• 4:51
  And then I think my lunges were like 2 seconds slow, two or
• 4:54
  three seconds slower every round than Dallas.
• 4:56
  So I was like, well, that's kind of you got 30 seconds on my the
• 4:59
  lunges. Like I probably should have gone
• 5:00
  faster than those. But also I paced the burpees too
• 5:04
  much probably through like the round of 21.
• 5:08
  I think I wanted roughly, I wanted to be finished with the
• 5:10
  21 reps on the dumbbell in that round at 7:30 mark and I was at
• 5:14
  7:34. And it was after that I started
• 5:18
  to pick up my burpee pace quite a bit because I got, I was
• 5:21
  halfway done. I was like, I knew it based on
• 5:22
  how I was feeling with it. It was way too slow.
• 5:25
  And then so I picked it up and like at 10 minutes, I'm like, go
• 5:28
  get this. Still a little too slow of a
• 5:29
  burpee pace. So that after that I just, I
• 5:32
  really hammered the burpees each set and just tried to recover on
• 5:36
  the dumbbell and the lunges. And the last three minutes did
• 5:39
  get tough, but like the first 12, were probably slower than
• 5:43
  they needed to be. So question for you if if Colin
• 5:47
  Voshard came in with 362 would you have redone it?
• 5:53
  I was planning on redoing it just because I'm like I could
• 5:58
  probably get a better score if I piece it differently but I was
• 6:02
  way too fucked up to have any chance of redoing it on Monday.
• 6:05
  I was still hurting really bad because we don't, I don't train
• 6:08
  a lot of like we do burpees, but it's usually just to fuck me up
• 6:11
  for like a big set of wall balls.
• 6:13
  Like my burpees in training are not necessarily like intense and
• 6:17
  high volume. So like doing the burpees at
• 6:21
  that intensity and that volume that work out.
• 6:24
  I like yesterday, I was still sore today.
• 6:27
  I'm trying to feel real triceps, chest, lats, core.
• 6:33
  OK, so you know, not just not just me then I was feeling it
• 6:36
  like my shoulder, one of my left shoulders still feeling it from
• 6:39
  from that I was. Not how much I felt my triceps
• 6:42
  after that like the day after that workout because I've done a
• 6:46
  bunch of workouts with a lot of burpees in them and usually I'm
• 6:50
  fine but my I felt my triceps bad the next.
• 6:54
  Day, do you know your burpee cadence was like in the middle,
• 6:57
  like second Rep going on that level?
• 7:01
  Just over 2. That's insane.
• 7:05
  That's crazy. So it's like when I clocked.
• 7:08
  Me too, me too Tyler. My last 24 actually think it was
• 7:12
  a shame. Less than two, honestly.
• 7:16
  Yeah, you were fast on the last set, but but when I clocked
• 7:19
  Taylor, he fell off to like 2.75.
• 7:22
  He never got like around 22, like 2 flat, like to hold that
• 7:27
  all the way. You never slowed down on those
• 7:30
  when I watched you do this workout.
• 7:32
  I've been working out doing CrossFit for like 13 years and I
• 7:35
  was like, I've been doing this wrong the entire like you have
• 7:39
  such a different level. I was like I've been doing this
• 7:41
  wrong the entire time. Like the pacing?
• 7:45
  Well, it's just like. When you see someone that's that
• 7:49
  far ahead, you're like, I've done something wrong.
• 7:52
  Like I I could have gone that fast, but I would have blown up.
• 7:55
  And it's just like, what? What are you doing differently
• 7:58
  that I'm not thinking of? I guess is my thing.
• 8:01
  You're just. That's the answer.
• 8:03
  But it's like if I could take like a 10th of that.
• 8:06
  If you go to the comments on Instagram, it's because I'm
• 8:09
  short and on and I'm on steroids.
• 8:11
  Yeah. Hey, I have I have one of those
• 8:14
  in my comments so I can. And gravity's lower in Iowa too,
• 8:18
  that that's probably an issue. When when you did figure out the
• 8:22
  workout, did you feel some pressure?
• 8:27
  There's more excitement. Like I knew like this is going
• 8:31
  to be a top three pretty much no matter what.
• 8:36
  I definitely wanted to win because I always want to win.
• 8:39
  But it did feel it was just kind of more fun.
• 8:42
  Like everybody's looking at me to do this, to win this workout
• 8:45
  and I'm like, I'm probably going to win it.
• 8:47
  So I would have felt pretty bad if I lost because I was kind of
• 8:52
  stuck like Paper St. did that, did their sale.
• 8:56
  Like if I won the world record, then they were going to do a
• 8:57
  sale. So after that I just started to
• 8:59
  feel a little bit of pressure. They can't.
• 9:02
  Let Paper St. down. So.
• 9:06
  Did you do this at Is it CrossFit Kilo?
• 9:08
  Is that where you did it on Friday night?
• 9:12
  Yeah, Friday morning, did chores to the farm and then I drove up
• 9:16
  to Sierra Falls about two and a half hour drive and then warmed
• 9:19
  up for 30 minutes and Gus and I got after it together.
• 9:23
  Did. They have anybody there watching
• 9:25
  or was it just the two of you guys?
• 9:27
  Yeah, it was packed. There was like, there's probably
• 9:29
  100 people there. Did you tell tell anybody?
• 9:32
  Like don't share this with anybody.
• 9:35
  No, I didn't tell anyone. I had to share my score.
• 9:38
  I didn't. Say anything this year looks a
• 9:41
  lot different from the Open. Last year you were everywhere.
• 9:45
  You were at Proven and then you went up to Medeiros's gym for
• 9:50
  the live Open announcement. Then last week you went up to
• 9:54
  compete against Taylor. Are you staying home all three
• 9:58
  weeks? Yeah, I think that's the plan
• 10:01
  right now. So this week I'm going to go to
• 10:03
  CrossFit Te'o to do the open workout and then I'll probably
• 10:05
  be back at CrossFit Kilo again for Week 3.
• 10:07
  So I'm just keeping it keeping it local this year.
• 10:11
  Do you like that staying home or did you?
• 10:13
  Do you prefer traveling all over the place and staying busy?
• 10:18
  It's definitely fun to stay busy and it just helped last year
• 10:22
  helped me a lot just getting more practice with traveling and
• 10:24
  then working out, trying to go over my fear of flying.
• 10:28
  Still not really there yet, but we're getting there.
• 10:30
  So I got a little bit of practice with that, but it was
• 10:35
  nice. Just I'd say it's a little bit
• 10:37
  easier to get your maximum intensity.
• 10:41
  Like when I'm at Proven and like Nick, Shane and Tia and the rest
• 10:46
  of the career watching, it's a little bit easier to push.
• 10:48
  And then obviously it's easy to get a good push when you're
• 10:50
  doing the live announcement and then going against Taylor.
• 10:53
  I did not want to lose to Taylor.
• 10:55
  So, but I think, yeah, I got once I really hit the gas, the
• 10:59
  last like 3 to 5 minutes on that workout up at Kilo, there's a
• 11:03
  lot of people cheering me on and I think I squeeze everything out
• 11:05
  of it. Yeah, go ahead, Tyler.
• 11:10
  I was going to say we should have had Gus on and then like,
• 11:12
  so at what point did you realize like this is not going to happen
• 11:15
  and or what point did you realize that Colton had laughed
• 11:19
  you? Did did he try to go out?
• 11:22
  Did he try to go out hot and keep up with you just to just to
• 11:25
  have fun? Yeah, I think he might have been
• 11:28
  ahead like through the round of nine.
• 11:30
  He. Would talk so much trash at that
• 11:32
  point maybe. Yeah, I think he said he he did
• 11:38
  that workout three times. I think he got 5 reps better
• 11:40
  each redo. He did it three times.
• 11:43
  Yeah, he's trying for that 1%, Tyler.
• 11:46
  He's right at the he's he's right at like it could happen,
• 11:50
  it couldn't, it could happen. It could not happen like this.
• 11:53
  I mean, it's, it's a big deal. I saw Miraham did the same.
• 11:58
  She did 3 three times as well. She did not need to do that.
• 12:02
  That's very dumb on her part on that, but I get it for Augustus.
• 12:06
  That's crazy. It's crazy.
• 12:08
  I I really wanted to do it twice, but there's no way I
• 12:10
  would have gotten like 300 reps if I did again.
• 12:14
  I was still absolutely devastated on Monday.
• 12:19
  Do you think ahead of like the next workout?
• 12:21
  Like obviously you didn't care what this first workout was?
• 12:24
  Do you ever think about, you know, the history of the open
• 12:27
  and what we've seen with the repeat?
• 12:30
  Do you tailor any of your programming or, you know,
• 12:33
  thinking of this week of getting ready for what we might see?
• 12:40
  Joey might a little bit with the programming aspects, but I don't
• 12:46
  I watched a lot of the shows like I watched give the
• 12:47
  programming today. I watched them talk about it.
• 12:51
  I watched around the whiteboard watch them talk about it.
• 12:52
  But I don't really spend a lot of time thinking about it myself
• 12:55
  just because it's like there's so many different things to
• 12:58
  analyze. And even if you have a really
• 12:59
  good process and like a well thought out guest seats, just
• 13:03
  it'll be totally wrong. So it's just I find myself
• 13:06
  getting exhausted if I think about it too much.
• 13:07
  So I just enjoy watching other people and I don't pay too much
• 13:11
  attention to what I think is going to be, I guess.
• 13:14
  Where the open is like pretty execution based because there's
• 13:18
  a lot of like there's a lot of transitions.
• 13:19
  There's a lot like especially in the movement like that or in a
• 13:22
  workout like that, like your, your movements are pretty
• 13:25
  calculated the whole way through, right?
• 13:27
  How much prep work do you do? Do you build, Do you build out
• 13:31
  like a whole plan or do you just kind of like, I know the
• 13:33
  intensity and what this is going to feel like and I just need to
• 13:36
  hold that like how what's your, what's your prep look like?
• 13:41
  Yes. Look, the day before I just
• 13:43
  practice moving the dumbbell a little bit because I don't do a
• 13:45
  lot of light dumbbell work in general, especially hand
• 13:49
  cleaning jerks. So I just did some of that kind
• 13:52
  of practice with the transition and practice keeping it on one
• 13:54
  arm. And then I also don't do a lot
• 13:57
  of burpees, lateral burpees over a dumbbell.
• 13:59
  So I practice that movement just a little bit.
• 14:03
  It's more so just to like make sure that I'm not going to have
• 14:06
  any questions when it comes to the movement standards and make
• 14:08
  sure that all that's all just like second nature and I'm not
• 14:12
  having to think about it during a workout and practice.
• 14:15
  I tried to get the lunge agenda 4 steps and that wasn't going to
• 14:17
  happen. So I had to sit up for five.
• 14:20
  But other than that, I just kind of knowing, trust me that I know
• 14:23
  my body and I know the pace that I can hold.
• 14:26
  And then the I just, I honestly, I just felt better than I
• 14:29
  expected on that day. The Burberry just felt really
• 14:32
  good breathing wise and just went a little too slow.
• 14:35
  Just I'm. Always.
• 14:37
  I'm always fascinated, like Jen Smith would write down like, I
• 14:42
  need to be here at this time, I need to be here at this time.
• 14:45
  And I tried that like a couple Opens and it always stressed me
• 14:48
  out way too much. I was always much better by
• 14:50
  feel, but sometimes I think athletes are by feel and then
• 14:54
  they're totally calculated. So that's why I wanted to ask.
• 14:57
  Did you look at the clock at any time during this or you just
• 15:01
  completely just trying not to look at it?
• 15:06
  I think the only time I looked at it was at when I finished the
• 15:08
  21st king clean and jerk on the round of 21 because I I knew
• 15:13
  roughly to get into the to finish round of 30, I need to be
• 15:20
  about at the halfway point once I got there.
• 15:23
  So I looked at it then. But other than that, like Travis
• 15:26
  at Kilo was calling out like 5 minutes in, 10 minutes in
• 15:29
  whatever. And I was using that just kind
• 15:31
  of like gauge how I'm feeling and then use that to dictate my
• 15:35
  pace. Like I knew when you said, hey,
• 15:37
  we're at 5 minutes that I need to speed up.
• 15:39
  And then he said, hey, we're at 10 minutes, like I need to speed
• 15:41
  up again. But other than that, I didn't
• 15:43
  actually look at the clock, I think until like 734 is what it
• 15:48
  was at when I was finishing the round of 21 dumbbell.
• 15:50
  And then I think I looked at it again during the round of 30,
• 15:54
  just because I was trying to gauge like how much time I would
• 15:56
  have left to Sprint the burpees. But other than that, it wasn't
• 16:00
  like a real technical breakdown. Whereas like the final open
• 16:06
  workout last year was a little bit more pace just because I was
• 16:09
  really trying to manage my grip fatigue.
• 16:11
  So I was, it's like if you watch the video when I did it against
• 16:14
  Taylor at Charlotte, I would do a sad that I'd walk back, touch
• 16:19
  the wall and come back to the to the pull up bar and do another
• 16:21
  set. And that was just kind of to
• 16:23
  prevent my grip from blowing up. But this one was more space on
• 16:26
  fuel. Yeah, I I looked at the clock
• 16:29
  about the same time as you and I had a different thought.
• 16:31
  It was like, Oh no, this is I have a long more, a lot more
• 16:35
  time to go and this isn't gonna go well.
• 16:37
  I hid from it. I like purposely was like, don't
• 16:40
  look at the clock. You know it's not gonna be where
• 16:41
  you want it to be. Just don't look at the clock.
• 16:46
  What you used a metal headed dumbbell?
• 16:50
  Is that just picking one or is there a specific reason for
• 16:52
  that? That's just the dumbos they have
• 16:55
  at kilo. Gus brought his own from his
• 16:57
  house, I think the rubber one. And then he offered to let me
• 17:00
  use if I told him it was OK. But yeah, I was a little bit
• 17:05
  worried about the having the metal dumbbell and then like
• 17:09
  getting sweaty and not having a shirt on during the workout.
• 17:12
  But it was kind of hot. Like we were had a heat wave in
• 17:14
  Iowa. So it was like, it's probably
• 17:16
  like 70° in the kilo, maybe 75 when I did the workout.
• 17:20
  And it's been like pretty cold here.
• 17:22
  And I keep the gym kind of cold just because I don't want to pay
• 17:25
  for a bunch of heat. So I was I was worried about
• 17:28
  overheating, so I took my shirt off anyway and just dealt with
• 17:31
  the slippery dumbbell. Yeah.
• 17:35
  All right. One last question for Missus
• 17:37
  Finn. Do you have a date set for the
• 17:40
  wedding? I got no, no idea.
• 17:43
  I don't know. Not, not this year, that's for
• 17:45
  sure. I don't know.
• 17:48
  We'll see. I'm kind of playing it by Fuel,
• 17:49
  but we haven't made any plans yet.
• 17:52
  There you go, Tyler. You got anything else?
• 17:55
  I was just wondering what the rest of the out like.
• 17:57
  I'm sure you want to win the rest of the the workouts like
• 18:00
  your plans to finish top five or win I.
• 18:04
  Think if it's 22.3 he can win, if it's 23.3 he won't win.
• 18:08
  That's what I think. What are them?
• 18:13
  2020 Wait, wait, Which one did you say first, John?
• 18:16
  22.3 is thrusters, double unders and pull ups, chest of bar bar
• 18:21
  muscle UPS. It evolves and then 23.3 is wall
• 18:26
  walks, double under snatches. The snatches go up in weight
• 18:30
  handstand push ups after the first two rounds.
• 18:32
  Wall facing handstand push ups. You don't think you'll win that
• 18:36
  one? No.
• 18:39
  Why? He's just, he's watching.
• 18:42
  See, he won't win that one. That's in a very good argument,
• 18:46
  Johnny. I mean, you know, OK, I people,
• 18:50
  people will move the barbell faster than him.
• 18:53
  What's the weight? I don't remember that workout.
• 18:55
  It ends at 225. They're 185 and 2:25.
• 19:01
  You think you'd win that one? There's no way you're going to
• 19:04
  win that one. Dude.
• 19:05
  I don't know, dude. What's the dude?
• 19:07
  Tell me what does it work out exactly?
• 19:09
  It's 5 wall walks, 50 dubs and then 15 snatches at 1:35 or 95.
• 19:17
  95, yeah. Five wall walks, 50 dubs and
• 19:21
  then 12 snatches at 1:35. If you make it in the next 6,
• 19:25
  you make that in 6 minutes. You get 3 more minutes and then
• 19:28
  it's 20 wall facing handstand push ups, 50 dubs, 9 snatches at
• 19:34
  185 and then 20 wall facing handstand push ups, 50 dubs, 6
• 19:40
  snatches at 2:25 you got? Can you tell?
• 19:43
  Me Colton got 56th in the world in.
• 19:45
  That I don't Yeah. I I don't think you.
• 19:47
  I don't think you beat. I don't think you beat Austin in
• 19:49
  that workout. We'll see.
• 19:53
  I, I, I, I just gonna, I'm gonna go ahead.
• 19:56
  And do it, I'll do it against him.
• 19:58
  Oh, I think he for sure would do it.
• 19:59
  We could do this like in the middle of the week, yeah.
• 20:02
  Or, you know, whenever the open's over.
• 20:04
  Whichever one y'all want. I think it'd be fun to do a live
• 20:07
  thing with him. If they if they program it,
• 20:09
  let's make this deal right now we've.
• 20:11
  Been making deals now listen 22 hold on, I would not bet against
• 20:14
  you. We've been making deals all day.
• 20:17
  Paper St. made a deal with ESC sounds today.
• 20:19
  If they program that workout, we got to get Austin and we'll do
• 20:23
  it live on the on on this show. Say what?
• 20:27
  Yeah. I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
• 20:31
  Go ahead. Colton, are you down?
• 20:34
  Yeah, that'd be fun. I'm yeah, I'm, I'm sure he'll be
• 20:36
  down, but yeah, you know, super down all.
• 20:38
  Right. One, one last question, Heavy
• 20:42
  Isabel program for all North American in person qualifying
• 20:48
  events, you're doing Mayhem, you're doing Norcal, I assume
• 20:54
  you may do TFX. Are you going to do it three
• 20:57
  separate times? I guess I am.
• 21:00
  That's that's amazing. I was thinking about that today.
• 21:04
  That's a lot. That's a lot of Isabel.
• 21:06
  So hey man. Which at which competition do
• 21:11
  you think your best Isabel time will come from?
• 21:14
  You think it'll be the first one or the last one?
• 21:17
  I I have a hard time believing it'll be the second one.
• 21:21
  Might defend where it's programmed in the weekend.
• 21:24
  I think it's the first event for them all and then second for
• 21:26
  Mayhem. I thought it was supposed to be
• 21:28
  the first one. Mayhem, no, we don't.
• 21:30
  We don't know when it'll be in each OK, all of them so.
• 21:35
  That's fair. That's.
• 21:35
  A good my guess is day three, you know the three day events
• 21:38
  it's probably gonna be a different day probably like a
• 21:41
  Saturday, but well Colton, I appreciate you Congrats again.
• 21:46
  Little bit better prize money I think than last year, so that'll
• 21:50
  be good and. You're the leading money getter
• 21:53
  for this year so far. That's correct.
• 21:59
  Awesome man, appreciate it and good luck this weekend.
• 22:03
  All right, see you guys job Colton.
• 22:05
  See you mate. Mr. Colton Mertens.
• 22:11
  Man, I want them to program that snatch now.
• 22:13
  I I did you. Yeah.
• 22:15
  Yeah, I did that workout today, actually.
• 22:18
  Did you? Yeah.
• 22:20
  And man, I, I, I've never had to work.
• 22:23
  I've worked strict handstand push ups for two months and got
• 22:27
  really good at them and then never had to work them ever
• 22:29
  again. I was pretty good at them, dude.
• 22:32
  They weren't the same. It's like doing handstand push
• 22:35
  ups and a 12 LB weight vest. I, I, dude, I, I, I didn't think
• 22:39
  that would change. I didn't, I didn't, for some
• 22:41
  reason I did not think that would change.
• 22:43
  So different. It was completely different.
• 22:45
  I did 6 and I was like Oh my gosh, I'm bad at everything.
• 22:49
  I'm not good at anything anymore.
• 22:52
  Like there's someone gymnastic that I'm good at anymore.
• 22:55
  I used to be pretty good at these.
• 22:57
  Things I hope it's 22.3 and 4:00 so at least you get some heavy
• 23:02
  Max lift. It's not it'll do something in
• 23:05
  the the last one. I don't, I, I'll be honest, I'm
• 23:08
  just, you know, I'm not an open athlete or just, I'm just just
• 23:11
  gonna leave it, leave it at that.
• 23:14
  Larry Young Heavy Elizabeth is the best programmed, best
• 23:17
  workout program this year so far.
• 23:20
  Yep. It is a. 100% so far.
• 23:22
  I just saw this I missed it. Wad zombie apologize.
• 23:25
  Who is Colton picking for tomorrow, Emily Rod or Sydney
• 23:28
  Wells? I would imagine he's going to
• 23:30
  say Sydney. Sydney is team proven.
• 23:34
  Yeah, he would say. Sydney, you.
• 23:38
  Guys want to go to viewer comments.
• 23:42
  I mean, I guess. You want to All right, this is
• 23:45
  your chance. First of all, we're getting,
• 23:47
  we're over 9300 subscribers. So that's your chance to get to
• 23:51
  the 10,000. That graphic, it's the best.
• 23:56
  Hey, that guy is I'm pretty. He's the mayor of Houston, is
• 24:02
  he? Yeah.
• 24:04
  I was wondering where like where he was from?
• 24:06
  Yeah, I know. He's he's Houston.
• 24:08
  Yeah, there was. I follow something, it's just
• 24:12
  like a Houston thing that he followed.
• 24:14
  Tells you what's happening in Houston, like there's floods or
• 24:17
  somewhere in whatever area, stuff like that.
• 24:19
  And they like, so, you know, posted this that they he got
• 24:23
  kicked out. And if you look at the comments,
• 24:25
  it's like we do, we don't support them.
• 24:27
  There's like like so many people that are like anti Al Green.
• 24:32
  Hey, somebody's, you know, he, he, I, I was wondering like, did
• 24:36
  he just want to leave? And he's like, all right, might
• 24:38
  as well make a show out of it. Let's go.
• 24:43
  What's crazy is the the the kid, the 13 year old kid that
• 24:48
  survived cancer and they named him an agent.
• 24:50
  He's also from Houston. So like they could have had like
• 24:53
  a super great moment and then they didn't then they.
• 24:59
  Didn't Barry Mccochner first of all new profile photo does not
• 25:03
  look like Luke Parker anymore. What do we get for 10,000 Subs?
• 25:08
  Do we have 10,000? Or no, what do we?
• 25:09
  What do we get if we get get there?
• 25:12
  I'm thinking about doing something.
• 25:14
  Have a party Pizza party a. Party a pizza party.
• 25:16
  Everybody gets a pizza. Pizza.
• 25:18
  I wonder if we said hey we'll do this if we get to 10,000 and
• 25:22
  people would like jump on the subscription chain train.
• 25:27
  They should want to do that anyway, but.
• 25:29
  You know what I mean? But like if like we succumb to
• 25:32
  punishment of some sort. Like.
• 25:36
  This is a celebration. This is like.
• 25:38
  You. Like Spin, we'll get a tattoo of
• 25:42
  y'all's choosing if we get to 15,000 subscriptions.
• 25:46
  That seems extreme. John will eat 100 chicken
• 25:50
  Nuggets on air on. I will drink a gallon of
• 25:52
  Ovaltine in an hour if we get to if we get to 15,000.
• 25:56
  Oh no. I can't.
• 25:59
  I bet I listen. I bet that's pretty hard.
• 26:02
  Like first half probably. It's probably really difficult.
• 26:08
  Leslie said no, we get 10,000, we get to paint John's bedroom.
• 26:16
  Leslie vetoed that. Sorry, no crush.
• 26:19
  Denied yeah I hope there's you some type of the giveaway we'll
• 26:23
  see we're still we're still like 700 away so we got some time
• 26:26
  unless you guys all tell your friends let's see what kind of
• 26:30
  comments we got throw yours in there if you're watching this
• 26:33
  behind and. Do you care if I update the
• 26:37
  public? This is something.
• 26:38
  What is the weather that people. Want to know?
• 26:40
  But listen, I biked today. It was the first time I came
• 26:45
  back and we're taint tolerance is back.
• 26:49
  OK. We were, we were out, we were
• 26:50
  hurt. Cream was applied and we're
• 26:54
  doing great. We're doing great.
• 26:56
  I had AI had a great cycling session.
• 26:58
  The Open is back and yeah, where my taint is good to go.
• 27:03
  Thank you for caring so much. I appreciate.
• 27:05
  I know a lot of people DM D me about it.
• 27:07
  There's just, you know, caring people.
• 27:10
  Way different than 25.1 comments by the way.
• 27:14
  I don't know if we're going to talk about that, but people are
• 27:18
  so mean dude. It is wild.
• 27:22
  I'm going to go out and say go ahead and say it.
• 27:24
  I think I'm the most scrutinized 206 reps person by 206 reps and
• 27:30
  down. Nobody is as scrutinized as my
• 27:34
  206. Like it doesn't like it's not a
• 27:37
  mattering score at all. And, and my goodness, people are
• 27:42
  crazy mean like it's it's. It's I had to go through a lot
• 27:44
  of comments to get comments from our last show because they were.
• 27:49
  You would have think. They were all I've.
• 27:50
  Had sex with their whole entire family, dad included.
• 27:53
  The way these comments are are coming at me.
• 27:58
  Justice for JY Speaking of comments, John George Sorry
• 28:03
  John, but 75% of your or more of your jerks were no reps Burpees
• 28:09
  looked smooth when you weren't resting.
• 28:11
  Thank you. I appreciate that.
• 28:12
  I, I apologize that my cleaning jerks are not up to y'all's
• 28:16
  standard. I will try to do better, but I
• 28:18
  appreciate every one of you letting me know that I
• 28:21
  appreciate that. I would love to watch y'all's
• 28:23
  open videos, all of them and, and just, you know, and just
• 28:27
  analyze. We should send us send us your
• 28:31
  video and John and I will do a live stream where we just
• 28:34
  broached your. Yeah, yeah, you know what?
• 28:37
  Yeah. You know, me and Hatfield are
• 28:38
  close. You know, we got the same style
• 28:40
  cleaning jerk. It just, it is what it is.
• 28:42
  But I appreciate everybody letting me know that I will try
• 28:44
  to be better. That's what Gideon.
• 28:46
  That's what Gideon Rosso said. JY with that Austin Hatfield
• 28:50
  lockout? So that wasn't John.
• 28:54
  It wasn't me. That wasn't him.
• 28:55
  It was black John Young. Let's see, Lido, Callo, Gianni,
• 29:05
  she's on the team meet spin. Wish I could have catch these
• 29:09
  live, but Sally, they're three hours past my bedtime in the UK.
• 29:14
  Thanks. So she's probably really
• 29:16
  Italian. Thanks for picking me.
• 29:17
  Sounds like it, yeah. I thought I drafted all the
• 29:21
  Italians but I guess not. No, no, definitely did not.
• 29:24
  Let's see at Avera 9636. This video highlights a couple
• 29:31
  things. One, the burpee over dumbbell
• 29:34
  standard is routinely being broken.
• 29:36
  This is on Dallon's video. Dallon is a perfect example, as
• 29:40
  his rear foot does not appear to ever go over the dumbbell.
• 29:43
  Very common. What will CrossFit do about
• 29:47
  this? It'll do nothing.
• 29:50
  Nothing, John. This goes back to John's
• 29:53
  argument with Bryson. I want to bring that back up.
• 29:55
  Oh geez, it took me I had to go back and relisten to the
• 29:59
  argument and now I understand what you were saying, that it
• 30:03
  was not a well articulated argument by you or Bryson.
• 30:09
  I understood what you were saying and it is it is to do
• 30:13
  burpees that way is right for not passing over the dumbbell
• 30:16
  the correct way. You're correct.
• 30:18
  It's just a bad movement to judge 100% clearly.
• 30:26
  Same thing. Same thing with the the shoulder
• 30:28
  to overhead the lockout. I'm not a big.
• 30:31
  Fan of shoulder. I'm not a big fan of shoulder to
• 30:33
  overhead because like unless you just hold it there it people are
• 30:37
  going to think you're look, I'm locked out here.
• 30:40
  This is me locked out. There is a crease right here.
• 30:43
  You know what I mean? My arms are bigger than y'all's
• 30:46
  arms. I don't know what you want me to
• 30:48
  say. If we go look at every, the fact
• 30:51
  that you guys say 75% or more, you know, Hiller does this.
• 30:55
  He freeze frames the first Rep and then looks at all the rest
• 30:58
  of the reps. They all look the same guys.
• 31:01
  That's just what it is. You know what I mean?
• 31:04
  And if, if I'm a games athlete, then yeah, then I get the
• 31:07
  scrutiny. But I'm just a dude doing the
• 31:10
  Open that is trying to be a part of the community.
• 31:13
  Multiple thousands. Behind yo, it's not, it's not.
• 31:18
  It's not that deep. There it is.
• 31:22
  There's me ahead of Tyler and and then never getting back
• 31:28
  ahead of him at this point. We'll definitely, we'll get into
• 31:31
  that here in a second. Pause there.
• 31:38
  So you got a couple more. Oh, and avera #2 George Sterner
• 31:42
  is a natural who can do CrossFit and simultaneously block out a
• 31:45
  neurotic MMA wannabe. All right, there you go.
• 31:51
  Who? Who?
• 31:52
  Mr. Telford Lito is Greek. Please, please, please establish
• 31:56
  this. She is Greek.
• 31:58
  Oh, she's. Greek Lito the girl, the semi
• 32:01
  final girl. Yeah, Callo Gianni.
• 32:05
  Yeah, Philby, tell me you have big arms without telling me you
• 32:08
  have big arms. Yeah, You know, I don't want to
• 32:11
  make that argument if you think you're right, You're right.
• 32:13
  I'm not gonna. I'm not gonna argue with you.
• 32:15
  But that is what it is. You don't get used to it.
• 32:17
  Get used to it or stop watching. I really don't care if you watch
• 32:20
  my open video. That's why we're posting them.
• 32:23
  Yeah, at Gary Vana Swigen, spot on with Rich, Scott and Ben.
• 32:30
  You won't name a single affiliate slash owner who will
• 32:32
  honestly say that this boycott makes any sense considering the
• 32:36
  impact affiliates are trying to make.
• 32:39
  They think they are taking a stand against HQ, but it's in
• 32:42
  essence impacting the mission affiliates have.
• 32:45
  Just jog on or go join an affiliate class for.
• 32:48
  Once agreed, yeah, I think I it is misguided.
• 32:56
  I understand why you might be upset, but the the punishment is
• 33:02
  not appropriate for the crime. Yeah, I so I looked at the
• 33:09
  affiliate leaderboard last year and this year last year had over
• 33:15
  10,000 affiliates who had at least one person register for
• 33:21
  the open. This year it was down around
• 33:23
  9000. It was like a 1314% decrease.
• 33:28
  Which actually, like it's not good that 13 to 14% fell off,
• 33:36
  but it I think it's positive in that like all's we have to do is
• 33:41
  turn those gyms back on. Like we have to reconvince them
• 33:44
  that this they need to do this. Well, I mean, the question is
• 33:46
  why do they leave? I mean, you have to remember
• 33:48
  the, the $4500, the price increase went into effect at the
• 33:53
  start of last year. And so there's only a couple
• 33:56
  months in. We don't know if people have, if
• 34:00
  it's de affiliation that's causing it, I'm sure there's
• 34:03
  some. Is it not participating at all
• 34:07
  because of Lazar? I doubt it.
• 34:13
  I mean, there are some there's. Some.
• 34:14
  Yeah, there's some. European ones, man.
• 34:17
  But not, I wouldn't say it's like over 2%.
• 34:21
  I don't even think it would be two.
• 34:22
  Percent of that, but like if you were a part of an affiliate, you
• 34:24
  don't pay attention to the sport and your gym D affiliates, you
• 34:29
  probably don't go out of your way to try to sign up for the
• 34:31
  open. Right.
• 34:33
  And I and I think I personally think there are owners who like
• 34:37
  are trying to use this as a reason to defiliate the
• 34:40
  affiliate and say This is why we're doing it.
• 34:43
  And that's what Ben did. Right.
• 34:46
  I, I was thinking about CrossFit and the open and like, I mean,
• 34:51
  we've said it 100 different ways, but without the open,
• 34:54
  like, and you bringing your community back together every
• 34:58
  year, they may as well just go to some other gym.
• 35:00
  I think like if you don't have like this linchpin piece of your
• 35:04
  year that caps it all off, like, what's this?
• 35:07
  What makes you different? People say, well, our
• 35:10
  programming. What?
• 35:11
  No dude, they can just go to any other gym and or they could go
• 35:15
  to another CrossFit gym that does do that and it'll mean
• 35:17
  more. Yeah.
• 35:19
  I mean, I think that's. Well, what do you program?
• 35:22
  CrossFit. There you go.
• 35:25
  Yeah, I like like the fact that you say you do CrossFit, but
• 35:30
  you're not. You don't want to call yourself
• 35:32
  CrossFit. I think is a very misguided
• 35:37
  concept or thinking misguided thinking.
• 35:42
  Let's see Jose mostly mostly were affiliate fee increase.
• 35:48
  If they are boycotting, they were just looking for a reason.
• 35:54
  Susan's got a good comment. Yeah, let's see, here it is.
• 35:57
  I guess most are due to a cash problem then they got priced out
• 36:01
  of their location. That's why most have closed,
• 36:04
  that I know of anyway, out in California.
• 36:07
  Agreed. And I think that's a bigger
• 36:09
  problem that like not a ton of people are talking about.
• 36:12
  I mean, could you imagine being on the, on on the O6 side of
• 36:17
  the, the housing market crash or the, you know, the economy
• 36:20
  collapse? It's like that's kind of what we
• 36:22
  were going are going through. And so that's probably a large
• 36:26
  portion of it, yeah. Oh Pat, Pat Lang here we go
• 36:31
  Tyler, your misguided comment is ridiculous. 1 you have no clue
• 36:35
  what those people think and two CrossFit could have avoided all
• 36:38
  of this by releasing the investigation info like said
• 36:41
  they said they were. Number one, you have no clue
• 36:46
  what those people are thinking. Agreed.
• 36:48
  I have no idea, but I can assume using deduction.
• 36:53
  Context. And context, what they might be
• 36:57
  thinking. And if they're not, then talk to
• 36:59
  me, prove me wrong #2 them releasing the investigation,
• 37:03
  they should have never done the investigation.
• 37:04
  So I totally disagree with this point.
• 37:06
  So yeah, done. Yeah, I mean, the reason I bring
• 37:10
  it up is. Comment dismantled.
• 37:13
  I think, I think the, the, the, a lot of the, the narrative, I
• 37:20
  guess about why the, the participation went down was
• 37:24
  well, it's all because of the games.
• 37:26
  I don't, I mean, yes, I'm sure there's plenty that have decided
• 37:30
  to not participate, but I also think there are it's also just
• 37:37
  the affiliates like we don't know what the account was at the
• 37:41
  start of last year. We don't know what the official
• 37:43
  count was today, right. And so, but we do know that
• 37:48
  there's 1314% that are not participating this year,
• 37:54
  probably some mix between that. So at Dixie Dave, new YouTube
• 38:01
  members welcome. Dixie, Dave.
• 38:04
  Yeah, go throw you some of those special little emoji things that
• 38:07
  we can't see on our end, but everybody else can.
• 38:12
  That has some truth, Mason. I don't know what Mason said,
• 38:14
  but. Good job, Mason.
• 38:15
  But it does. It does.
• 38:17
  HQ needs to get back to providing for affiliates.
• 38:19
  He spoke a little bit about this Tyler on Pedro's show.
• 38:24
  Yeah, Nope. This is entitlement mentality.
• 38:28
  The, the only thing I will agree in one way and that the, the
• 38:32
  thing that affiliates should be providing is a pathway and a
• 38:37
  funnel reason for people to think they need to go to a
• 38:40
  CrossFit gym or know that they need to go to a CrossFit gym,
• 38:43
  which was what was happening in 2012 through 2017.
• 38:47
  Everybody knew what CrossFit was and they thought that's pretty
• 38:50
  cool. I kind of want to go do that.
• 38:51
  Well, there was. Pride behind it.
• 38:53
  You're proud to say that you do CrossFit and you wanted to tell
• 38:58
  everybody, hey, I have found it. This is the best way to get fit
• 39:04
  and get healthy. I found I like, let me hell.
• 39:08
  You my wife was good about my wife was going to murder me back
• 39:11
  whatever 13 years ago when I was like I found it and I was like
• 39:14
  CrossFit this CrossFit that rich froding like CrossFit games and
• 39:18
  she's like. Try this milk Yeah, I'm.
• 39:21
  Going to drink a gallon of milk a day and get huge.
• 39:25
  Yeah. And the CrossFit has not been
• 39:28
  doing, it's going to take a little bit to turn the tide and
• 39:33
  and shift that back into gear. And CrossFit, I think it started
• 39:37
  to do that, but they need to do more of that.
• 39:39
  I think we're on our way. We're they, this has been,
• 39:42
  there's been positive movement over the past few months, 100%,
• 39:46
  but we've got to continue to hit that gas pedal as far as like, I
• 39:50
  need help doing this, I need help doing that.
• 39:53
  All of that shit is out there. Like all of these programs, back
• 39:57
  end stuff, building funnels, marketing, I mean freaking Sousa
• 40:03
  has this whole thing that is built so you don't have to
• 40:06
  manage your social media. There are programs out there,
• 40:08
  but guess what? You have to do the due diligence
• 40:10
  on your own to run your own business.
• 40:12
  CrossFit can't run your business for you.
• 40:15
  So I think everybody hates the franchise model.
• 40:19
  Why? Because you can do what you want
• 40:21
  to do. Yes, if you want the help, then
• 40:25
  you can turn into a franchise model and I can, you can, you'll
• 40:29
  have to reuse cap programming. You'll have to wear these
• 40:32
  uniforms. You'll have to structure your
• 40:34
  class this way. You can only have a certain
• 40:37
  amount of people in your class. Like there's a lot of things
• 40:40
  that you can't do, but it's helping you.
• 40:42
  Like I think you got to be careful of what you're asking
• 40:45
  for when it comes to that. Like if if I was an affiliate, I
• 40:50
  would want CrossFit to one, protect the brand and go fight
• 40:55
  the fights like they were back in the day of fighting Coca-Cola
• 40:58
  fighting. What was it the the
• 41:02
  conditioning, strength and conditioning group like doing
• 41:07
  those things? That's what I want to see.
• 41:09
  I want somebody to come out there and talk about health and
• 41:12
  nutrition and chronic disease in a way that that's not there.
• 41:17
  I don't want them to tell me how to finance a gym or how to do
• 41:22
  these other things like go be the forward face of why CrossFit
• 41:28
  is what CrossFit is. Right.
• 41:31
  And let me go run your gym and live off of what that is.
• 41:36
  Yeah, NSCA, That's right, Barclaydale JY didn't do his due
• 41:45
  due diligence and that's why his taint tolerance was lost.
• 41:50
  But I found it. I found back.
• 41:52
  I came back, I went back to the drawing board.
• 41:54
  I did some research and we're doing, we're doing it.
• 41:58
  Yeah, last comment, I couldn't go a week without talking about
• 42:03
  our favorite everybody not participating in the open from
• 42:07
  the world Fitness project is maybe not want to focus or look
• 42:10
  at the world fitness project kind of deters me from wanting
• 42:15
  to based on how they're treating CrossFit.
• 42:18
  I was that Ryan Pelican? Dude, they made a post the world
• 42:22
  finished project made a post like 2 hours after the open
• 42:26
  announcement. I don't remember what the post
• 42:28
  was but I just saw him on Instagram.
• 42:30
  Like I was like this is the first date of our competition or
• 42:33
  something like that. And I almost commented Boo and
• 42:40
  and I didn't, I didn't, I didn't give him the time of day.
• 42:43
  But it was like, dude, nobody cares, man.
• 42:47
  Rich Froning's out there in American Rocky shorts.
• 42:49
  Like like we're like, CrossFit is back.
• 42:54
  Just you're an afterthought. Like it's that's that's what it
• 42:57
  really, really felt like. So yeah, that's all I have to
• 43:02
  say about that. I was, I was thinking about
• 43:04
  that, the whole rich effect earlier today about how like now
• 43:08
  he's running a semi final. He's much more engaged in what
• 43:10
  like the open and what seems to be the season.
• 43:13
  And I think if you were to say that like 3 years ago, we'd be
• 43:17
  like, like, this is these are the like, we would have been
• 43:20
  freaking stoked. Oh yeah, 100%.
• 43:23
  And just wait, wait till y'all see what we do with Syndicate.
• 43:25
  Man, we, we got so much fun stuff coming with Syndicate.
• 43:28
  It's going to be so awesome. Yeah, I.
• 43:33
  Back-to-back to Ryan's. Like y'all don't even understand
• 43:36
  what we are about to bring to syndicate.
• 43:38
  It's going to. I don't.
• 43:39
  Even know. It's going to it's going to
• 43:42
  shake the earth. It's.
• 43:43
  Going. To do it is going to be a crazy
• 43:46
  time and like John and I are not smoke like blowing smoke up your
• 43:52
  skirt like this is for real like.
• 43:54
  I've never blown smoke up anybody's skirt ever, I think.
• 43:58
  We ain't doing it now. Saying, because I don't, I don't
• 44:01
  even like how that sounded. We are.
• 44:04
  We're not just drinking the Kool-aid, we're taking it and
• 44:07
  shooting it into our veins because it's going to be
• 44:11
  amazing. Like y'all don't.
• 44:13
  Say that anymore, Sporty Beth says.
• 44:15
  We can't, say drink the Kool-aid anymore.
• 44:17
  I didn't. I said I'm shooting it into my
• 44:19
  veins. The way people do heroin is what
• 44:22
  I'm doing with CrossFit Kool-aid.
• 44:24
  It's better, yeah. My big old body roll around and
• 44:29
  try to do burpees over a dumbbell for 15 minutes.
• 44:32
  The Kool-aid is inside of me, Tyler.
• 44:34
  I I wonder about this though. Like Dixie.
• 44:36
  Dave Rich is so cool. As somebody only one year into
• 44:39
  CrossFit, I'm in full on bromance mode.
• 44:43
  Welcome. I do wonder like for people who
• 44:47
  are just finding, I think there were somewhere around 3538% of
• 44:54
  the registrations this year signed up and they had not done
• 44:58
  it last year. So I'm sure some people skip the
• 45:01
  year and they came back, right. I'm counting them as new.
• 45:04
  There's a large percentage of of people who just signed up for
• 45:08
  the first time. They don't have that experience
• 45:14
  unless they go back and watch some of the old stuff of Rich
• 45:17
  like back in the day or Ben Smith, like some of that stuff
• 45:21
  is just crazy. And then have that as your open
• 45:25
  announcement was freaking awesome.
• 45:27
  That would. Be that would be a cool go
• 45:30
  ahead, Tom. That would be a just a cool.
• 45:32
  I don't know how you do it, but like, hey, in case you've missed
• 45:36
  out on the past 15 years, here's the things you need to go watch
• 45:39
  and, like, just run it. Yeah.
• 45:41
  Welcome to CrossFit. Here's That's what Seth was
• 45:44
  doing. That's.
• 45:46
  What Seth was doing, but it was on a one by one yeah thing.
• 45:50
  But yeah, I mean, if you could condense that down into a 20
• 45:54
  minute video of here's all the stuff you should go watch, like
• 45:57
  here's why you should watch, it'd be amazing.
• 45:58
  I want to say edging, go look at Syndicate's roster, the people
• 46:02
  that they've invited and I know they're like still going to be
• 46:06
  more. It's not fourth string athletes,
• 46:08
  man. This is top tier people.
• 46:13
  Who was, what was the question here, Avera, any numbers on
• 46:16
  average how many first time open registrations each year versus
• 46:19
  this year? It's usually lately it's been
• 46:21
  around 30%. I think it's maybe a little bit
• 46:25
  higher again based off of whether they did it last year or
• 46:27
  not. But I think it's usually about
• 46:30
  30% new. And that's always been the hard
• 46:32
  part with the growth is that if there's 30% new, but you're only
• 46:36
  growing, what was it 6% last year or something like that,
• 46:39
  Like you're losing a lot too, right?
• 46:41
  So you got to you got to kind of keep those those in there.
• 46:46
  I had to get 4. I had four rookies on my team
• 46:48
  this year. Nice.
• 46:50
  I was stoked. I was like welcome.
• 46:52
  I was more jacked up about the rookies.
• 46:54
  I dig it. Yeah.
• 46:56
  I thought it was interesting, though.
• 46:57
  Like, you know, like on holidays on social media and like, let's
• 47:02
  say it's Valentine's Day and you don't have a partner or, you
• 47:06
  know, it's Mother's Day and, you know, your mom's not around or
• 47:09
  your dad's estranged, whatever. And you see everybody posting
• 47:13
  everything on Instagram about that and you're like, I don't
• 47:16
  want to see that, right. I wonder what those who are not
• 47:20
  doing it or those that are part of the World Fitness project
• 47:23
  thought like Thursday. Do they get FOMO?
• 47:27
  Is it like, do they avoid social media?
• 47:31
  Like do they get angry? What's funny is like.
• 47:35
  I thought the same thing about Pat Valner's post like I didn't
• 47:39
  is that he posted a workout he was doing and like my initial
• 47:42
  thought was he's still working out.
• 47:44
  I don't know why, like and like, I know he's doing the world
• 47:46
  fitness project, but it's just like you're not a part of it
• 47:50
  anymore, you know, like I just, I got literally watched him work
• 47:54
  out and be like, I'm just so uninterested in what you're
• 47:57
  doing. And I feel bad saying that
• 48:00
  because he's a freaking legend, right?
• 48:03
  But it's it's it. We're we're in the open, man.
• 48:08
  You don't want to be a part of it.
• 48:11
  Bye. Saying Neely, he's still doing
• 48:14
  CrossFit. That's.
• 48:15
  What he's doing. Yeah.
• 48:19
  What does? What does?
• 48:20
  What does the WFP do? CrossFit.
• 48:23
  One one thing I. I know, but I'm just very.
• 48:26
  Uninterested. No.
• 48:27
  And. I, it was weird.
• 48:28
  Everybody, everybody's showing their video.
• 48:30
  All you want to see is who's going to post next on the
• 48:32
  leaderboard. We're talking about Tia and her
• 48:34
  video. And then and then all you and
• 48:37
  you see like to John's point, you see somebody post their
• 48:39
  workout that they're doing GHD sit ups and rope climbs.
• 48:43
  You're like. Yeah, and I tell you what, I
• 48:47
  don't know. I don't know.
• 48:48
  Like, I know we're probably going to cover it or talk about
• 48:50
  it whenever they do come about inevitably, you know what I
• 48:53
  mean? We are, what are we, the TMZ of
• 48:56
  fitness. So it's our duty to, you know,
• 48:58
  we got it. We got to tell you all
• 48:59
  everything when it. Happens.
• 49:01
  First, it happens, right? I'm going to be rooting so hard
• 49:06
  for the people that are doing the CrossFit game season in the
• 49:09
  World Fitness project. Like I feel like people who are
• 49:12
  just doing the world fitness project, I don't want them to do
• 49:17
  well. And I that might sound really
• 49:19
  bad and and be like, wow, you're just a hater.
• 49:23
  Yes, you have made me a hater of you because.
• 49:27
  I won't even, I won't even say it like that.
• 49:29
  Like if you go, if, I don't know, you just go home one
• 49:34
  weekend. Like to where you grew up and
• 49:36
  there's a football game going on.
• 49:37
  It's like you go to the game, You're not really tied.
• 49:40
  To the game. You're just watching, Yeah.
• 49:42
  And that's the same thing. Like we're going to watch
• 49:43
  because it's the sport that we watch.
• 49:45
  But like, what are we rooting for?
• 49:49
  Austin Hatfield, Yeah. Like, that's, I'd be like, I'm
• 49:53
  just rooting for my guy. And then that's that's it.
• 49:57
  Yeah, Audrey, I haven't seen Audrey here in the comments in a
• 50:01
  while. Thank.
• 50:01
  You, Audrey. I appreciate that.
• 50:03
  Welcome back, Audrey. Gabe ESPY, do we have a final
• 50:08
  list of all the athletes who are out on top of the names who
• 50:12
  announced? I do.
• 50:13
  I'll show that here in a second. Let.
• 50:15
  Me tell you all something before I know I interrupted spin so
• 50:17
  hard. I'm so so sorry yeah your mouth
• 50:20
  was open and ready to talk and everything The once the open is
• 50:26
  over guys. I mean I've I'm I'm updating the
• 50:28
  mountain weekly. The mountain looks a lot
• 50:31
  different now that there's people that aren't in the game
• 50:33
  season. Dude, it's it's a you, a
• 50:36
  hodgepodge of a there's been so many landslides and people dying
• 50:40
  on this mountain. Let it be known.
• 50:43
  As the geological shift of 2025. Yeah.
• 50:46
  Oh, that I like. That yes.
• 50:50
  It's I'm excited for that episode because it's going to be
• 50:54
  let's just, I got a lot of storylines to think up because
• 50:56
  there's a lot of stuff. There's a lot going on.
• 50:59
  All right, as before I was interrupted, if you go to
• 51:06
  Instagram, I did post who's in, who's out?
• 51:09
  That's a. Good post. 27 men and 28 women
• 51:13
  from last year's CrossFit Games have registered for the 2025
• 51:17
  CrossFit Open. Here's who's in and who's out.
• 51:21
  Of course, the wording of it made people angry.
• 51:25
  I mean, there's no good way of of saying it like some people
• 51:30
  like Ruan because it was like, well, they're not really out
• 51:34
  right. And so like Brandon Luckett,
• 51:37
  he's not competing, he's not protesting, he's coaching this
• 51:40
  year and he has a team. I think that he's trying to get
• 51:42
  there. But like Ruan Puttguider hurt
• 51:46
  his ankle like torso ligaments. So but he paid for the open and
• 51:50
  then got hurt after that. So like, he's still in?
• 51:55
  It's the royal out. It's the royal out.
• 51:57
  Yeah, yeah, the royal we the royal out.
• 52:00
  And so you can see those who registered and those who did
• 52:03
  not. Saxon, Panchick and like.
• 52:07
  One collar on his arm. Saxon Panchick out.
• 52:13
  Yeah, so I caught this because we put him in Heat 1 and I was
• 52:20
  like no score. I was scoring.
• 52:23
  I was scoring for the Heat One app this weekend.
• 52:24
  I was like, where is he? Yeah, I don't know has.
• 52:31
  Anybody seen him? He's been hanging out with the
• 52:35
  World Fitness Project peeps. So like, he stopped.
• 52:37
  He he he was supposed to be one of the 20 athletes for World
• 52:41
  Fitness Project. Then they ripped that down.
• 52:44
  Well, now he's. Now he's on work organizational
• 52:47
  side, so he's on their team with Will.
• 52:51
  So I don't know if it's just not wanting to compete anymore or.
• 52:56
  He's still young. He's not like he's old or
• 52:58
  anything. Yeah.
• 52:59
  I mean, I would like to talk to you.
• 53:00
  Could have asked me three months ago after the demands came out
• 53:04
  from the PFAA, he was very vocal against it.
• 53:07
  And he said on Sivan's show, like, we'll see who's in it too,
• 53:12
  because they loved competing and those who are in it for the
• 53:14
  money. And I don't want to, I mean,
• 53:15
  he's not competing for this in the in the WFP, but right, it
• 53:21
  was just a definite 180 from what I thought was going to
• 53:23
  happen. And that's what I'm interested
• 53:25
  to hear from him because his, his take was, is really well
• 53:28
  balanced. I felt like when he was on
• 53:30
  Savants. And so I just would like to hear
• 53:33
  his justification for like what he's doing, what's going on.
• 53:36
  Yeah, blown and blowable. Wow.
• 53:46
  Unblown and unblowable. That would have been better too.
• 53:56
  499 thank you. I thought this was about what
• 53:58
  type of belly button they have. Could be, I don't know.
• 54:02
  Beanies and Audis. Yeah, and he's and Audis.
• 54:06
  Oh, man. Yeah.
• 54:08
  So I don't know. What is interesting, though,
• 54:10
  about the World Fitness project is not one of the 10 people on
• 54:14
  their little team registered for the Open.
• 54:17
  Not Beth Gillette, who has competed since 2016.
• 54:21
  Was that the Masters CrossFit Games this past year?
• 54:24
  She's not doing it. Will's not doing it.
• 54:27
  None of them are so. Saxon Saxon panchuk is the
• 54:36
  definition of mid. Mid Mid.
• 54:41
  Mid. Oh, mid.
• 54:46
  A lot. A lot of people like Saxon.
• 54:49
  I wish, I wish he would do the things that you guys thinks
• 54:54
  think that he can. He had some great years.
• 54:58
  In semi finals in the Open, Yeah.
• 55:00
  What? What did he finish?
• 55:01
  Was it 6th one year or something like that?
• 55:03
  Yeah, he just tried the last day when nobody else was trying and.
• 55:07
  Just moved up. OK Pat Lang.
• 55:09
  Why did Tia do that dumb contest with Shane and then post a
• 55:13
  mediocre score? She redid it pat but I mean her
• 55:16
  score still wasn't great. It's still top 1%, right?
• 55:19
  Yeah, yeah. The score that she ended up
• 55:21
  posting, she'll be fine. I really think Tia's just going
• 55:25
  to kind of do the bare minimum to get through and like, it's
• 55:29
  not a big deal for her. She's still, she's still like,
• 55:31
  we don't know. We have no idea about Tia.
• 55:33
  Tia, there's there's no rumors around her.
• 55:37
  There's like nobody in her camp really.
• 55:39
  Obviously Shane. But like we haven't gotten
• 55:42
  anything about anything with Tia.
• 55:46
  We know she's in it. We know she's going to go to the
• 55:48
  next level, but we don't know. You know how they made that joke
• 55:54
  about Snoop Dogg? It's like he won the game and
• 55:56
  now he's just playing all the side missions.
• 55:59
  I think like that's the what T is doing now.
• 56:02
  It's like she does, like she can win the Open I guess, if she
• 56:05
  wants, but if her heart's not in it, it's like, why not?
• 56:08
  Just why try to Yeah, just just get the top 1%.
• 56:12
  I mean, she made this post a day ago.
• 56:16
  So with her and and Torian Pro, so pass champions get an
• 56:19
  automatic invite to compete at Torian.
• 56:24
  I guess she's just going to go that route.
• 56:26
  Yeah, I mean, I do think. Now if I'm if I'm in Australia,
• 56:30
  I'm like Dang it. That's a killer.
• 56:35
  Well, Ellie Turner's not going to be there, so they have that
• 56:38
  going for them. They get 2 spots right They.
• 56:40
  Get 2. That's right.
• 56:41
  Yeah, so I'm just saying there's one up for grabs for Maddie
• 56:44
  Sturt or Gracie. Oh, Gracie Walton.
• 56:46
  Oh, that's going to be a battle. Oh, man, that's going to be fun.
• 56:52
  One of them's going to be at Norcal.
• 56:54
  That's going to be great. One of them's going to be at
• 56:57
  Norcal. That's gonna be awesome.
• 57:02
  My, my. What's sad is like I I want
• 57:04
  Gracie to make it, but I also want to meet Gracie and Zane
• 57:09
  like in person. So that would mean that she
• 57:12
  didn't make it. I'm very conflicted about this.
• 57:16
  All in all. I have Team Gracie in this, but
• 57:19
  but I, you know, well, I just we'll see.
• 57:21
  But yeah, that's going to be. That's going to be I.
• 57:23
  Mean there's always the online great battle.
• 57:25
  There's always the online semifinal.
• 57:26
  Yeah, and both of them are capable, honestly, Maddie Sturd
• 57:29
  and Gracie Walton, both of them are capable of making it through
• 57:32
  that. So you're right.
• 57:34
  You're right. Yeah, that was enough viewer
• 57:37
  comments. Go subscribe if you haven't
• 57:39
  already. All 534 of you.
• 57:42
  Let's see 25.1 recap, John. Hold on, Zane.
• 57:49
  Zane, calm down, brother. I was the first one on Gracie
• 57:54
  Walton. Well, I guess you were the first
• 57:56
  one on Gracie Walton. But as far as no, as far as
• 58:00
  saying this person's going to be good at something, the first
• 58:03
  person that said she was going to be something is right here.
• 58:06
  OK, so you can calm it down saying she is a bad girl.
• 58:11
  Exactly. Let's go date when I said that
• 58:14
  because very first person said Gracie was going to be anything.
• 58:18
  OK, Gracie and Hatfield, I have to my name and then, you know,
• 58:21
  then I I just get lucky or very unlucky with other people.
• 58:25
  Calm, calm it down Leslie. I will go in there and wake Abby
• 58:28
  up so fast and just let you deal with the replication you.
• 58:31
  Can't use Abby as a weapon. I can, I can and I will.
• 58:36
  Repercussions. Is that the right word?
• 58:38
  Yeah, yeah. Not reparations.
• 58:41
  Easily confused with reparations.
• 58:42
  All right, 25.1 I'm not mad at my score.
• 58:47
  I'm I am not fit right now. So what did you do this work
• 58:51
  out? I did it on Friday morning and I
• 58:54
  did consider redoing it because I do think, I do think this is
• 58:58
  an easy 1 to get a better score once you've once you've done it.
• 59:02
  I regret. Not redoing it.
• 59:03
  Yeah, well, well, and here's the thing.
• 59:05
  And you weren't going to redo it.
• 59:07
  So I did think it would be unfair if I redid it.
• 59:11
  I think like what we got going on, we should just do one and
• 59:14
  done and that's what it is. Neither one of us are going to
• 59:16
  make the top 1%. This is just something we're
• 59:18
  doing for fun. You know, we're a part of the
• 59:20
  community. We're putting it out on the
• 59:21
  Internet, We're letting people watch this, and luckily for you,
• 59:25
  they hate me more than you, so you don't have to worry.
• 59:28
  Somebody moves better, baby. I don't.
• 59:30
  You know, I mean spin, you know, spin got nothing.
• 59:34
  I really wish we would have gotten spin in my video because
• 59:36
  we ended up in the same spot and I know he got to those burpees
• 59:39
  about a minute faster than I. Did I had a minute 45 for the
• 59:42
  last 24 burpees? That would have been that would
• 59:44
  have been a really fun video to watch like match up because I'm
• 59:49
  pretty sure I did 24 burpees in like 47 seconds.
• 59:52
  That was ridiculous. But I'm not mad at my score.
• 59:56
  This is who I am. I've made my peace.
• 59:59
  I'm going to be. I'm really strong.
• 1:00:01
  I'm going to make some fun videos here in a this next
• 1:00:04
  month. I'm going to have fun doing grid
• 1:00:06
  and it's going to be a fun time. But right now is the humble
• 1:00:09
  session of doing that, so I'm in it to be humbled.
• 1:00:13
  So I I messaged you guys. I told you I said two O 6 before
• 1:00:18
  I even knew what you guys score was.
• 1:00:20
  You were. Proud.
• 1:00:21
  You were proud of it. You were proud of it.
• 1:00:23
  You were happy with it. You.
• 1:00:24
  Wouldn't say. My goal, My goal was two O 6
• 1:00:28
  like I wanted to get through that round of 24 and I looked at
• 1:00:32
  the clock when I was started doing the lunges after the round
• 1:00:34
  of 21 and I was like, oh God, I don't know if I can do this.
• 1:00:38
  And like I I literally finished and I had I had one second left.
• 1:00:42
  I jumped over and I was like, that's it done.
• 1:00:45
  And I was surprised. I figured Johnny, you would have
• 1:00:49
  gotten me, but. It's just an all cardio workout,
• 1:00:54
  man. And I and I, and I'll be honest
• 1:00:55
  with you, I, I think me at like 195, like my fittest self, I
• 1:01:03
  could finish the 20 fours and get some burpees in the 27, like
• 1:01:06
  barely finish the 20 fours. And me and Tyler had a text
• 1:01:10
  conversation about this most like when I was, when I'm like
• 1:01:13
  my peak fitness, any cardio workout, I usually just barely
• 1:01:17
  beat Tyler by a little bit. And it just goes away really,
• 1:01:22
  really fast for me the second I stopped trying to focus on it.
• 1:01:27
  But I, I was, I was actually happy with my score.
• 1:01:30
  I'm not going to let the Internet or you guys bring me
• 1:01:33
  down about it. I'm happy for you Spin.
• 1:01:35
  It did kind of depress me a little bit that we got the same
• 1:01:37
  score. I would have rather you beaten
• 1:01:38
  me, honestly. And Tyler did great.
• 1:01:42
  I, I think I overpaced it. If I were to redo it, I would
• 1:01:46
  have like in the in the early rounds, I probably would have
• 1:01:49
  went quite a bit faster and then on the burpees and then in the
• 1:01:54
  later rounds, like maybe gone pretty quick, like a a much
• 1:01:58
  quicker pace on the burpees, not like blast room, but maybe get
• 1:02:02
  through like 5 or 10 at a decent pace and then settle into that
• 1:02:06
  slower pace that I was holding. But what I was happy with was I
• 1:02:10
  was like I told myself going into it, I was like, run A5 Ki
• 1:02:14
  was like just hold a 5K pace the entire time.
• 1:02:17
  And that's what I did. And I never, I mean, I got
• 1:02:19
  slower in the end, but like I was pretty robotic the entire
• 1:02:22
  time through and I was happy with that movie.
• 1:02:24
  Weird. Time.
• 1:02:25
  Yeah, I wish I would have gotten into the 27, but I'm OK.
• 1:02:29
  Like I wasn't far off, so yeah. I, I mean, I think it's a great
• 1:02:33
  score. I I did all of the cleaning
• 1:02:39
  jerks unbroken, but I did not want to do the surprise
• 1:02:42
  unbroken. Me either.
• 1:02:44
  Oh man, I was hopeful. I was like, we could have done
• 1:02:46
  this with a 70 man. This is.
• 1:02:49
  No, I would, I would. I would do the laundries.
• 1:02:51
  I took my time on those nice and steady.
• 1:02:54
  And then I got to the burpees and I was like, as I was getting
• 1:02:56
  close to going to the next one, like after like the round of 12,
• 1:03:00
  like the round of 15 on the cleaning jerks, I was like, this
• 1:03:04
  is starting to suck pretty bad. And then you get to the, you
• 1:03:08
  know, you get to the eighteens and you're you're finishing
• 1:03:09
  those up and you're like, Dang it, I have to no, not set this
• 1:03:13
  dumbbell down. I really want to.
• 1:03:17
  So I'm I'm sure I probably went a little bit slower on the
• 1:03:20
  burpees than I should have or could have because I was worried
• 1:03:23
  I wasn't going to be able to do the clean jerks unbroken if I
• 1:03:25
  went too fast. So.
• 1:03:29
  Chase had the same dilemma and he lost to Tyler by one Rep so.
• 1:03:36
  Four steps. 5 steps. You guys did 5 each time right?
• 1:03:39
  Yeah. Four would have been too much of
• 1:03:41
  A stretch. So you saw Dowling and Jason do
• 1:03:44
  that? Well, they're 6 foot two spin,
• 1:03:46
  what do you want? From them I'm 6 foot.
• 1:03:47
  I mean, I probably could have done it, but I don't think I
• 1:03:49
  would have. Yeah, my goal on that was just
• 1:03:52
  like, not chill out, but like basically don't stress yourself
• 1:03:56
  at all. Just get it done.
• 1:03:58
  Yeah, we're we're, we're chilling.
• 1:03:59
  Different. Yeah, yeah.
• 1:04:01
  Do you like it for those who actually are trying to be
• 1:04:05
  competitive? It's a it's a great test.
• 1:04:07
  It's a very good first weekend open workout if you want to be
• 1:04:13
  honest. Like if you're testing for the
• 1:04:15
  1%, it shouldn't be an open workout.
• 1:04:18
  It just, it should be much harder if you're testing for the
• 1:04:20
  1% or like the dumbbell should be a 70 or like just something
• 1:04:24
  like that. But I think it's a very good
• 1:04:28
  first week open workout. If the other three weeks are
• 1:04:32
  similar, I think this is a terrible task for the top 1%.
• 1:04:36
  If it gets harder, then, you know, I, I'm super cool with
• 1:04:39
  this being the first week of workout.
• 1:04:41
  I think it's a great workout, very good endurance workout.
• 1:04:45
  Colton should win the workout, right?
• 1:04:47
  Me or him should win the workout.
• 1:04:49
  It's just, you know, I was I'm happy with this is week 1.
• 1:04:54
  Obviously weeks 2 and 3, you know, like it can't be the same.
• 1:05:02
  Let's see, let me add get your guys's take on this.
• 1:05:06
  Yes, Barry, I wear strike movements all the time.
• 1:05:10
  HWPO training on Threads, maturing in the gym is realizing
• 1:05:15
  doing the open workout once is plenty and Live Fit Carl down
• 1:05:22
  there maturing the gym for me is realizing that I don't need to
• 1:05:24
  do the open workout at all. Three comments.
• 1:05:30
  Huge. I mean it is threads.
• 1:05:32
  It's threads. It's threads.
• 1:05:34
  I wouldn't hate in the comments. Did Matt did Matt do the do the
• 1:05:37
  workout I. Don't think so.
• 1:05:42
  That's interesting. You know who did?
• 1:05:46
  Rich Froning. Rich Froning did it, guys.
• 1:05:50
  I'm I'm pulling a full 180, man. It's just it's it's.
• 1:05:53
  I know, it's crazy. Every little thing, man, it's
• 1:05:57
  and and I will not, I will not fade on my argument.
• 1:06:01
  If we're talking about, well, who is the fittest?
• 1:06:04
  I would never fade on it because facts speak louder than
• 1:06:07
  feelings. But man, Rich is so much better.
• 1:06:10
  Like it's just it's, it's just hard to argue.
• 1:06:15
  It's fun being on this side because he keeps doing the right
• 1:06:18
  stuff. And he didn't, he, he didn't
• 1:06:21
  leave CrossFit and have AIDS for six months and then come back
• 1:06:24
  like, you know, like it's just I, I, you know, I'm, I'm, I'm
• 1:06:28
  enjoying it. I'm enjoying it.
• 1:06:32
  Ozempic, John Young. Wow, we got a new character
• 1:06:34
  there. Look at that.
• 1:06:35
  Go there. We go wow yo dude, I look like
• 1:06:39
  Saxon a little bit with that skinny face. 14 Wow.
• 1:06:48
  I'm Matt greater than Rich. I don't know.
• 1:06:51
  What do you think about redo redoing a workout?
• 1:06:55
  People were texting me like crazy, like from my team, and
• 1:06:58
  we're like, like they would be like, I got this, sorry, I'm
• 1:07:01
  going to redo it. And I was like #1 you got a
• 1:07:04
  decent, like you got a better score than I did halftime when
• 1:07:06
  they would mess with me. And then number two, I was like,
• 1:07:08
  why are you redoing it? And then some people were like,
• 1:07:10
  well, I'm trying to qualify, like go semifinals or whatever.
• 1:07:13
  And I was like, yeah, they definitely redo it if you want
• 1:07:17
  to get better, Like, yeah, redo it.
• 1:07:20
  I don't think there's any shame. Like if you just want to do it
• 1:07:22
  once, but there's definitely also no shame of doing it if you
• 1:07:26
  do it four times, maybe there's. I know Hillary's a big fan of
• 1:07:29
  redoing it. Yeah, mainly because it teaches
• 1:07:31
  you how to do it. I could do workouts better and
• 1:07:35
  like figures. Yeah, pacing, I think, because
• 1:07:37
  you see what you did the first time and then you make paces out
• 1:07:40
  to be faster. And then I, I, I'm like Tyler, I
• 1:07:45
  don't care if you do it once. I don't care if you do it three
• 1:07:47
  times. Obviously if you're in, like if
• 1:07:50
  you're in, you know, one of those people that you think you
• 1:07:52
  could be that 1% like, like, you know, Augustus is on that line.
• 1:07:56
  I would say, I would say Bryson, if he gets lucky, can it be on
• 1:07:58
  that line? You know, it's then everything
• 1:08:03
  matters. But like, if you don't want to
• 1:08:05
  redo it, cool, go work. Go kill it the first time and
• 1:08:08
  and be done. I think if you're just doing it
• 1:08:10
  to be part of the community and you have fun, then that's the
• 1:08:13
  route. But if you want a better score,
• 1:08:15
  like absolutely, I I, I, I agree 100% with Tyler.
• 1:08:20
  I, I would get messages to Tyler and be like, Hey, I got 289.
• 1:08:24
  Hopefully that's enough. And I'm like, that's.
• 1:08:29
  I was like. I got 206 like, like, no, no,
• 1:08:33
  no. I'm just like, well, that's
• 1:08:35
  going to help us out, 'cause I pull this down.
• 1:08:37
  That's that's. That's this deal.
• 1:08:39
  I'll make this deal with you. If I do end up redoing one, I
• 1:08:41
  will not post that score just for the sanctity of our our
• 1:08:45
  yeah, yeah. No, I'm good.
• 1:08:47
  I'm good with it. I might do the work like if
• 1:08:50
  there is a lifting like at the end of it, like I might
• 1:08:54
  prioritize that lifting and then I'll do the workout as hard as I
• 1:08:58
  can the other way. You know what I mean?
• 1:09:00
  Not like, not like people that we know.
• 1:09:02
  Like I've done like 2 reps and done something.
• 1:09:04
  I'll do the workout but just not kill myself and then you know
• 1:09:08
  what I'm saying? Sure.
• 1:09:11
  You guys want to take a look at our open leaderboard?
• 1:09:15
  All. Right here we go without we're
• 1:09:18
  we're an hour and 12 minutes in this is.
• 1:09:21
  The moment. We guys will finally reveal
• 1:09:24
  before we get into the actual standings, first recognizing the
• 1:09:29
  top ten men and top ten women. Man Oval, a lot of.
• 1:09:32
  Barbell spin. Top ten mopped up with the
• 1:09:36
  women. The men Colton Merton's team
• 1:09:41
  Oval Team Nicholas Bedone meet Spin, Tucker Macklemore, Zayn
• 1:09:47
  Healy, Nikki Rogers, Brandon True, Drake Lewis, Alex Morris,
• 1:09:51
  Christian Vega and Logan Brown. Top ten men 300 and 77th or
• 1:09:57
  better. Dude, Nicholas Maddone came so
• 1:10:00
  clutch for you. Like the second Colton, Like,
• 1:10:03
  you know, this workout came out. I'm like, like, like we almost
• 1:10:06
  have like a little bit of a jump on everybody, dude.
• 1:10:09
  Nicholas Padone came out so clutch for you.
• 1:10:13
  I needed it. I do want to say you're using
• 1:10:17
  percentile right? So like a lot of my women are
• 1:10:20
  older ladies, right? Just like my one-on-one girls so
• 1:10:24
  their. Percentile is in their age.
• 1:10:27
  Group. If you're, if you're 55 plus, so
• 1:10:31
  like I'm still in the, you know, I'm not in the 40 to 44
• 1:10:35
  percentile, I'm in the open percentile.
• 1:10:40
  Well, you did not specify that I was A50.
• 1:10:42
  Why would it just be the 55 plus I was thinking?
• 1:10:44
  Because they're a different way they would be there.
• 1:10:47
  No, it's the open. If you can go to the games,
• 1:10:49
  you're in that percentile, dude. That's how, that's how that's.
• 1:10:52
  Pretty trash that you didn't specify that that's I was using
• 1:10:55
  all. You didn't pick anybody other
• 1:10:57
  than Jamie Latimer. No, I have like I've got like
• 1:10:59
  six women that are in the older category.
• 1:11:02
  That's just because they are assigned to you.
• 1:11:04
  No, no, no Alyssa Stookey's in that category.
• 1:11:07
  My like my like 4th pick is in that category.
• 1:11:09
  I all of my women are in that category becavoyd Miller's the
• 1:11:13
  only one that was assigned to me that that's I didn't pick.
• 1:11:17
  Well too. Bad Drake lost.
• 1:11:18
  Yeah, Go ahead, Tyler. Thank you Zane, for being my one
• 1:11:23
  person on the men's side. Yeah, Tyler's trash, right?
• 1:11:27
  You didn't. That's a lot of the loud Zane.
• 1:11:30
  Is that's all right if it'll come back to play for me when we
• 1:11:35
  do some weightlifting or something?
• 1:11:36

  Hanches Sir, this is how you say our name.
• 1:12:12
  By the way. Shout out to Nicole Hanches, JY
• 1:12:16
  barbell athlete. Probably the fittest one that I
• 1:12:19
  have. She's awesome.
• 1:12:21
  She's only 22. She just has to get strong and
• 1:12:24
  then she's going to be somebody to watch.
• 1:12:29
  Nice, nice. Some honorable mentions from the
• 1:12:32
  Masters divisions or the 55 plus.
• 1:12:34
  John Kim, 14th in the 55 to 59 division.
• 1:12:38
  Tammy Saunders, 61st in the 55 to 59 division.
• 1:12:43
  Lana Marcin, 74th in the 70 plus division.
• 1:12:48
  Nice. And then there.
• 1:12:49
  Are these numbers here? That's our placement.
• 1:12:53
  You were 14,850 second. John and I were 33 thousandth.
• 1:12:58
  Oh, we're not that. We're not that spread apart,
• 1:13:00
  dude. Like our team or our?
• 1:13:05
  No, no, no. Us and you.
• 1:13:07
  I would. I thought that gap would have
• 1:13:09
  been higher. Yeah, that that that was our
• 1:13:11
  placement on the leaderboard. I have a couple shout outs for
• 1:13:14
  my team. I wanted to give away like some
• 1:13:17
  some accolades, so I got a rookie of the week goes to
• 1:13:23
  Anastasia Mana. Rookie so.
• 1:13:31
  Maybe we should know how to say their name before you give them
• 1:13:34
  an award. It's.
• 1:13:35
  Hard to say. Anyway, first year in the Open,
• 1:13:39
  I went through all of. So if you're on my team, I went
• 1:13:42
  through every single person's profile and I looked at like
• 1:13:45
  what you did last year, how many years you've done the Open.
• 1:13:48
  That's 115 people to look. Through.
• 1:13:50
  Yeah, he sifted through the trash a lot.
• 1:13:53
  I've been, I've been sick since yesterday, so it's like I had
• 1:13:56
  some time. Dude, I'm sick.
• 1:13:57
  Right now this is going around. I've been really sick the last
• 1:14:01
  couple days. She yeah, first year she's in
• 1:14:04
  the 94th percentile and she got 210 reps on that.
• 1:14:10
  I want to say let's see here. Most improved athlete.
• 1:14:14
  So the key I was looking for here was what was your
• 1:14:18
  percentile last year? Now, there's a little bit of
• 1:14:20
  witchcraft here because if you did it the year before and you
• 1:14:24
  like had a 95th percentile and then like had a 28th because you
• 1:14:27
  did one workout and then had a 95th again, I didn't take that
• 1:14:30
  crap. So Mason Livingston went from a
• 1:14:35
  52nd percentile, this is legit, to an 81st percentile, 29.
• 1:14:39
  Percent nice. Mason, I took him.
• 1:14:42
  There was some people with some bigger swings, but I took him
• 1:14:47
  because he got into the 81st percent.
• 1:14:50
  Off did you see anybody that did scaled last year who's now RX
• 1:14:54
  not scaled? No, I did not see that.
• 1:14:57
  I had a lot of those at my local gym that RX sit for the first
• 1:15:02
  time. And then my athlete of the week,
• 1:15:05
  my MVP, goes to another other than Zane Healy.
• 1:15:13
  He's holding up your men's side. I'm going to give a consistency
• 1:15:16
  award to Colton Mertens, who was first place last year in the
• 1:15:20
  first workout, first place this year in the last worker in the
• 1:15:24
  first workout. The standings all right, so.
• 1:15:30
  Man the way that it man. It's going.
• 1:15:32
  It's. Pretty close I feel.
• 1:15:34
  Go. Ahead, go ahead.
• 1:15:36
  Colton got 100 points right? And so it's basically your
• 1:15:40
  percentile to the to the 100th of a point.
• 1:15:44
  So there are like you could be a header behind somebody by A10 or
• 1:15:48
  whatever places and still get the same 99.9 points etcetera.
• 1:15:53
  So I've added all those up the you'll see the average
• 1:15:57
  percentile there is 78 point 377.2 and 75.7, which if you
• 1:16:03
  look at, if you look at what John and I did, our percentile
• 1:16:10
  on the worldwide leaderboard is what, 72nd, 73rd percentile,
• 1:16:13
  John, Yeah. Yeah, it's around there.
• 1:16:15
  Would you look at the six pages of men, the 280 that signed up
• 1:16:20
  under the barbell spin? We're like the 32nd percentile.
• 1:16:23
  Listen, listen, people that are watching and who are.
• 1:16:26
  Fit as hell. People who are competitive in
• 1:16:29
  CrossFit, I would say I fall into the 32nd percentile of just
• 1:16:33
  endurance, right? We get some real stuff.
• 1:16:36
  My, it'll be it'll get better. OK.
• 1:16:38
  I I I somehow before you reveal this, this is so tense right
• 1:16:42
  now. I feel responsible for whatever
• 1:16:46
  we get here. So like for last place I feel
• 1:16:49
  like it's because I was so trash.
• 1:16:52
  This is what I figured out, John.
• 1:16:54
  When I was going through all the data on my team, I was like, oh
• 1:16:58
  shit. Like I have to like, try harder.
• 1:17:01
  I like need to sell out because like these I can't let these
• 1:17:04
  people down. All right, third place.
• 1:17:11
  Here we go, team. OK, I feel, I feel good.
• 1:17:16
  I feel OK. As long as.
• 1:17:19
  As long as I wasn't last, I know that I'm not the reason we
• 1:17:23
  failed so bad. Because if I we're last place, I
• 1:17:26
  am the reason. It's it's me, I'm the problem,
• 1:17:29
  it's me. I can make up second place.
• 1:17:32
  So we got some work to do. Team meet spin in second place
• 1:17:39
  within very close shooting distance.
• 1:17:43
  Team which means in first place. Tyler's trash on top.
• 1:17:52
  Of the. Can I ask is the difference is
• 1:17:55
  that difference between us 2? Is the difference between me and
• 1:17:59
  Tyler or is it or is it? No, because Tyler's what?
• 1:18:02
  What percentile are each Tyler? I was 88 today.
• 1:18:06
  Yeah. So it's it's 15 points.
• 1:18:09
  OK, so it's not OK and hey guys, I'm going to be at least 30
• 1:18:14
  points above them in the lifting 1.
• 1:18:16
  So we're good. We're good.
• 1:18:17
  I'm I'll make this up. I'll make this up for us.
• 1:18:19
  We got it, guys. I feel good about our position
• 1:18:22
  right now. I just want to take a minute to
• 1:18:26
  congratulate myself and my team. Got this hat this week for the
• 1:18:31
  trash pandas. Tyler's trash pandas.
• 1:18:34
  I was looking for a panda hat, so this is in honor of Tyler's
• 1:18:38
  trash pandas. So there you go.
• 1:18:40
  That is the the leaderboard. It's still up for I think
• 1:18:44
  anybody's game, really. Dude the the the week 1 to Week
• 1:18:48
  2. It's.
• 1:18:49
  Gonna be crazy I I'm so looking forward to the shake up of it.
• 1:18:52
  All to see how it, how it goes, who goes back, who goes up, who
• 1:18:56
  goes down, who had the the Burpee ninjas versus whatever
• 1:19:00
  they throw at us this week. I mean, it's probably, it's
• 1:19:04
  probably a big swing. I would say weeks two and three
• 1:19:07
  are going to be more similar in the percentile than week 1.
• 1:19:11
  Especially if they give us like a Part 2, you know what I mean?
• 1:19:15
  Everybody keeps saying that I don't think they're going to be
• 1:19:16
  a Part 2. Well, I mean, I don't know if
• 1:19:18
  they are or not. I don't think.
• 1:19:19
  I'm not saying yes or no, but if they give us a Part 2, I think
• 1:19:23
  it's going to swing doubly hard, you know what I mean?
• 1:19:27
  Sure. What?
• 1:19:28
  Yeah, that would be way different.
• 1:19:31
  Kevin Carrick wants to know when does the transfer portal open?
• 1:19:37
  What is the ILS figured out? What is the raccoons?
• 1:19:40
  Oh, you're getting raccoons, man.
• 1:19:42
  Tyler's trash. Oh man, I love it.
• 1:19:46
  I love that What we need is there an Oval teen one like we I
• 1:19:51
  it's the. Glass.
• 1:19:53
  Yeah, just a glass of milk, I think.
• 1:19:54
  Like chocolate, I guess. Like milk and chocolate.
• 1:19:57
  That's so awesome. I want to know what a bin
• 1:20:00
  chicken is. Is that like a Buzzard?
• 1:20:03
  No, it's another name for raccoon.
• 1:20:05
  Really. Yeah.
• 1:20:06
  No. Way.
• 1:20:07
  Yeah. I guess the color trash cans,
• 1:20:10
  bins, yeah, that was. I wonder what people thought if
• 1:20:17
  they weren't aware of what we were doing.
• 1:20:20
  Like they saw like the meat spin, they saw the tornado, they
• 1:20:23
  saw the trash can. Like are we calling people
• 1:20:26
  trash? Like dude, I will loop.
• 1:20:29
  I I love it dude, it's great. This is so much fun and I mean I
• 1:20:33
  and listen, if who all are listening, you need to respect
• 1:20:38
  losing, OK, So it at the end of this at the end of this, that's
• 1:20:44
  cool Zane. When they come out with a lift,
• 1:20:46
  we'll see who ranks over who. I will give you so much emoji
• 1:20:50
  saying OK, because someone's going to be beneath someone and
• 1:20:55
  it's not going to be me. And you know that to be true as
• 1:20:57
  well. OK, watch it be like a gated 1
• 1:21:02
  And I'm just not fit enough to get there and he still weeds me.
• 1:21:05
  Whatever is no, I think you need to respect losing because the
• 1:21:12
  two teams that lose. This was super fun.
• 1:21:14
  I'm really happy we're doing it. You have 7 minutes of burpees, a
• 1:21:18
  7 minute AMRAP of burpees and you need to post your score or
• 1:21:22
  post it to a story with the hashtag of your team, right?
• 1:21:26
  And we all, we, we all need to be in on respecting the loss.
• 1:21:29
  If you lose, I want how many people are on a Team A. 115.
• 1:21:35
  There I if if my team loses, which I don't think we will, I
• 1:21:39
  want to see 115 hashtag Oval teams with your burpee score and
• 1:21:43
  that includes Colton. I know Colton, that you're not
• 1:21:47
  the reason that. We lost.
• 1:21:49
  But you still need to respect the process.
• 1:21:51
  OK, you don't sign up if you're not going to respect the
• 1:21:53
  process, but it would be cool. We'd have a new world record for
• 1:21:57
  seven minute of Amrap Murphys, right?
• 1:21:59
  That'd be cool. But I I'm excited, dude.
• 1:22:04
  I'm excited for the shift. I didn't think this was going to
• 1:22:06
  be as fun as it was, but the fact that we have so many people
• 1:22:10
  competing, it makes me I'm I'm just.
• 1:22:14
  What's great is, like Tyler, you did some math on it.
• 1:22:18
  I mean, nobody used the the hashtag, the barbell spin until
• 1:22:22
  this year, maybe like a couple of people did from I don't know
• 1:22:25
  when, but we have I think there's some other people that
• 1:22:29
  signed up after I signed teams and it's like it's too much to
• 1:22:32
  go back through and add. But like doing this next year,
• 1:22:35
  if we already have a running start of 400 people and we get
• 1:22:40
  some new viewers and some new people that do this like we have
• 1:22:43
  a very serious. Dude, I won 1000.
• 1:22:47
  I won a. 1000 we were higher than most of the large training
• 1:22:51
  camps. It there was only one that was
• 1:22:54
  that was larger. No, like and and we did it last
• 1:22:57
  minute is the thing. There was no promotion like and
• 1:22:59
  we're going to do it. We're going to do it every year
• 1:23:01
  guys. We've decided, and we're going
• 1:23:03
  to get more. We might even make shirts with
• 1:23:06
  our own. Maybe more organized?
• 1:23:08
  Like, like, like, like, we're going to go really big with it.
• 1:23:10
  We get a pandas dude. We get a raccoon dude.
• 1:23:13
  You have to do one of the workouts in a pandas in a
• 1:23:15
  raccoon. 15 minutes of burpees in raccoons.
• 1:23:19
  Oh dude this might be fun. Like you have to run a mile in a
• 1:23:22
  raccoon in a raccoon and I have to do a mile, but like an
• 1:23:26
  Ovaltine mile where I have to drink like a fair life every 400
• 1:23:31
  meters or something, you know what I mean?
• 1:23:32
  And and then spin. We got to come up with meat
• 1:23:35
  spin. Oh, dude, that spin's bad.
• 1:23:37
  You got to sleep in a meat locker.
• 1:23:41
  Like we got to figure out one for spin.
• 1:23:43
  But I I think it'd be so fun. Lee Frazier, thank you for the
• 1:23:48
  Super sticker. Appreciate it.
• 1:23:52
  Oh, Vicky Spin, can you explain our team's hashtag?
• 1:23:56
  I honestly don't even know how meat spin came up but.
• 1:24:00
  Oh, I didn't know what this was and somebody from my gym
• 1:24:03
  explained it to me just. Google the meat spin and.
• 1:24:05
  You'll and it was. Yeah, yeah, that's exactly what
• 1:24:08
  you should do. You should just Google that.
• 1:24:10
  Meatspin.com. Oh, there's a website for.
• 1:24:14
  Us. It's meat spin.
• 1:24:15
  Go to meatspin.com you'll figure out real.
• 1:24:17
  Fast. It's pretty.
• 1:24:18
  It's pretty. No, no, no, don't.
• 1:24:25
  No, no. I did you.
• 1:24:29
  I did not endorse it. All of that spin.
• 1:24:31
  Oh my goodness. He's doing that right there.
• 1:24:33
  Wait, just go to another tag. Wait, Did you really do?
• 1:24:36
  Yeah, no, it was on the bottom here.
• 1:24:39
  Like it was bad. I'm like, spin.
• 1:24:41
  You pull up porn. What are you doing?
• 1:24:45
  You got to. You got to know how many
• 1:24:48
  revolutions of the meet you. Can get that was really risky
• 1:24:51
  man. I I I was OK.
• 1:24:55
  There's a terminal spin velocity, John.
• 1:24:57
  This is important science. I don't need to know it, Tyler.
• 1:25:00
  I it was explained to me and I was like, that's cool.
• 1:25:03
  I'm OK, I don't need it. All right, here we go.
• 1:25:09
  Let's see you spin me right around.
• 1:25:12
  Something like that. 25.2 guess. Tyler, are you still sticking
• 1:25:20
  with 22 point? 2120, it's 21.321 point 4,
• 1:25:25
  right? Yeah.
• 1:25:26
  Yeah, yeah, which is front squats toast.
• 1:25:33
  Bar. Toast bar 15 Front squats 15 or
• 1:25:37
  30 bar 15 front squats, thrusters or thrusters and then.
• 1:25:43
  Rest one minute. Rest one minute.
• 1:25:45
  You can do it. It's got it. 15 chest to bar. 15
• 1:25:51
  front squats. 15 front squats, 30 chest to bar, 15 thrusters,
• 1:25:55
  same weight rest one minute. 15 front squats, 30 bar muscle UPS,
• 1:26:02
  15 thrusters. Then it goes into 7 minutes of
• 1:26:07
  deadlift to a clean to a hang clean to a overhead for the jerk
• 1:26:14
  Max weight. Yeah.
• 1:26:16
  Good job, Tyler. John.
• 1:26:20
  I I like it. Yeah, no, I wouldn't be mad at
• 1:26:24
  that. All about the bar.
• 1:26:25
  But you wouldn't. Wow, dude, like you haven't seen
• 1:26:28
  me. I I know you're saying that
• 1:26:29
  comes to lifting, but I have zero gymnastics that I'm
• 1:26:32
  confident in right now. It's it's been really
• 1:26:34
  depressing. I cannot believe it's gone away
• 1:26:37
  this fast. The like, I don't know if I
• 1:26:41
  finished that workout in the time cap.
• 1:26:42
  I really don't. I remember it being like pretty
• 1:26:46
  hard to finish back then. Any of you are Mayhem athletes?
• 1:26:52
  It was programmed like maybe two weeks ago, 3 weeks ago.
• 1:26:55
  I'm going to say 22.323 point three.
• 1:26:58
  I think there's a 60% chance is 22.3 and a 30% chance is 23.3
• 1:27:04
  and then a 10% chance it's, it's completely different.
• 1:27:07
  The like leak that's coming out running out there in certain
• 1:27:12
  places said 22.3 and they guessed the first workout pretty
• 1:27:18
  close to what it was going to be, but it wasn't exactly right.
• 1:27:21
  So who knows. But that's what I'm that's what
• 1:27:25
  I'm rocking with 22.3 or 23.3. Yeah, no, it's not.
• 1:27:29
  And it's not from us. Like I I would say it with my
• 1:27:31
  chest and confidently if it was from us, it's not so like I
• 1:27:35
  can't, right. But they were really close with
• 1:27:37
  the first one and I can't be ignored.
• 1:27:39
  So that's what I'm going to say. I'm not I I think 22.3 will be
• 1:27:45
  the repeat. I don't think it's going to be
• 1:27:47
  this week though. I don't want the repeat to be
• 1:27:51
  with the Dallin and Jason and and James.
• 1:27:55
  I would rather them do something different.
• 1:27:57
  And then you can let Emily Rolf and Cindy Wells bite the bullet.
• 1:28:02
  Why don't you think it'll be this week?
• 1:28:04
  It's been. Because it's thrusters and pull
• 1:28:06
  ups, it's always the last week. Generally.
• 1:28:08
  Generally, yeah. OK, OK.
• 1:28:12
  It's a great. It's a good reasoning.
• 1:28:14
  It's good reasoning. The heavy lift tends to be the
• 1:28:16
  last thing because it's everybody gets excited for it.
• 1:28:20
  So but then it would lead towards more towards 23.3 with
• 1:28:24
  the heavy lift, but it's not thrusters and pull ups.
• 1:28:28
  So like if the if it delete if the repeat is 23.3 they could
• 1:28:33
  still do it and then you could still have thrusters and pull
• 1:28:36
  ups for last week and. That's no the thrusters.
• 1:28:42
  I don't know. I think it's ridiculous that we
• 1:28:44
  basic we didn't do a thruster, but we did a clean and jerk with
• 1:28:48
  a dumbbell. And I know the stimulus is
• 1:28:50
  slightly different, but it's a bit redundant to me.
• 1:28:52
  And so it does feel a little weird to me that we would do
• 1:28:55
  thrusters. Well, I mean, in 2017 they did
• 1:28:59
  dumbbell snatches and then they had a snatch workout.
• 1:29:01
  That was all the snatch so. And that's fair.
• 1:29:05
  Do you think there's? You think we'll get upside down?
• 1:29:09
  I would love to but. We did 23.3.
• 1:29:11
  We will. We did not last year, right?
• 1:29:15
  No and I think wall walks are a good like wall walks are a good
• 1:29:19
  test or wall facing hand sand push ups, especially if you put
• 1:29:23
  them with it later part of the workout like I would like to
• 1:29:27
  retest that snatch workout. I think I can get through the
• 1:29:30
  185 this time and I I like wall walks were so much harder back
• 1:29:38
  then because we they were new. I like that.
• 1:29:41
  That would be if you go back to 21.1 is the repeat and then give
• 1:29:48
  the boys something different. Yeah, double weightlifting open
• 1:29:53
  five test 2 weeks of double week.
• 1:29:58
  No, it doesn't. It opens preseason.
• 1:30:00
  They're not going to do that at all.
• 1:30:03
  Well, I mean and and I mean with the with the Dave's hint, it
• 1:30:06
  could be 20.4. No, they're going to have more
• 1:30:11
  clean and jerks. Again, they did it with snatches
• 1:30:14
  in 20s. They do that all the time like a
• 1:30:15
  dumbbell is a different room. I agree with you.
• 1:30:17
  I agree with you spin, but they have before 20.4 is the one with
• 1:30:21
  pistols in it. Yeah, the pistol clean and jerk
• 1:30:24
  workout. Whatever's coming up, you need
• 1:30:29
  to, it's probably going to be gymnastics from a bar of some
• 1:30:32
  sort, and for that you need to be prepared.
• 1:30:35
  The best way to be prepared is to order frog grips.
• 1:30:39
  Use code spin and. If your joints hurt from all the
• 1:30:43
  stuff you just did on the rig, get yourself some some CBD
• 1:30:50
  athletics apparel. OK, I am, I am officially a
• 1:30:54
  sponsored athlete from these guys.
• 1:30:57
  Yeah. And it's a I'm really looking
• 1:30:58
  forward to trying out a lot of their stuff.
• 1:31:00
  You're getting all the all the sponsorships.
• 1:31:02
  John, I'm, I'm super excited about it.
• 1:31:04
  Yeah. I'm lifting heavy.
• 1:31:06
  My joints hurt from time to time.
• 1:31:09
  It's hard to stay flexible on CBD is helping me, helping me
• 1:31:12
  out. Let's pretend it's not a repeat.
• 1:31:17
  I think if that's not the repeat this week, I think it's going to
• 1:31:22
  be wall balls, rowing and deadlifts.
• 1:31:26
  And ring muscle ups and then it is the repeat and it's 20.5.
• 1:31:30
  No, won't be ring muscle. UPS John, let's pretend it's not
• 1:31:34
  a a repeat, John repeats. I I would like that one.
• 1:31:41
  I would too. 20.5 I think 20.5 is one of the most fun workouts
• 1:31:45
  there is. That's the, that's the, that's
• 1:31:47
  your own adventure, right? Yeah, you're on your adventure.
• 1:31:51
  I that deadlift workout that you're referring to, spin sucks.
• 1:31:56
  So bad. I'm saying it's not going to be
• 1:31:58
  a repeat like they'll do something different with it.
• 1:32:02
  Yeah. I don't think they're going to
• 1:32:04
  have rowing and deadlifts together.
• 1:32:07
  You don't think so? No, because they did last year.
• 1:32:11
  Usually they take gap years between movement combinations,
• 1:32:15
  burpees and. Snatches is close enough.
• 1:32:17
  You're going to have burpees every single year, but like
• 1:32:19
  usually with like combinations that are not like in every
• 1:32:23
  single year thing they they typically gap year it.
• 1:32:27
  Yeah, I mean. I don't know why I feel this but
• 1:32:30
  I feel like double unders are not going to be seen this year.
• 1:32:34
  No, don't, no, don't give Grant home.
• 1:32:36
  You'd have. They'd have double.
• 1:32:38
  Unders They just wants it because of Grant.
• 1:32:40
  Yeah, they need to have them. I I just don't understand.
• 1:32:43
  To me it's, it's sort of it's a sold out movement.
• 1:32:46
  I don't know why we do it all the time.
• 1:32:47
  Yeah, there he is. Yes.
• 1:32:50
  Thank you Jesus. They need to have all.
• 1:32:52
  It just seems to be like 7 minutes of double unders a crush
• 1:32:57
  on that. I'd be I'd be the top like 5%.
• 1:33:02
  Would you? For better and can you do 700?
• 1:33:05
  Probably could. You can do 700 unbroken.
• 1:33:09
  I don't know if I could do 700 unbroken, but I could probably
• 1:33:11
  break it up and not take much rest. 699.
• 1:33:15
  OK, what's your what's your biggest?
• 1:33:16
  698 What's that? What's y'all's biggest set of
• 1:33:20
  double unders that's. A real.
• 1:33:23
  A real 1999. It really is, dude.
• 1:33:26
  That's a lot of money, man. Tipping it real or Tyler?
• 1:33:31
  I don't think I've ever seen a real. 19 He real he thinks you
• 1:33:34
  have influence on if there's double unders or not.
• 1:33:38
  The most I've ever done I did 2 minutes unbroken.
• 1:33:41
  It was like a 2 minute test. I think I it was like 220 or
• 1:33:45
  something or 225. And I was mad because I was just
• 1:33:47
  going to think that was the one I was called for is just do 2
• 1:33:50
  minutes Max double unders. And I stopped and I was like,
• 1:33:54
  why don't I just keep going? Yeah, you should.
• 1:33:56
  Yeah, I've done 267 before and I was, I was like, I really wanted
• 1:34:02
  to do 300 for some reason. And but like it, it was one of
• 1:34:05
  those ones. But yeah, you're probably better
• 1:34:08
  off than I was because that 267 was like, I failed because I
• 1:34:12
  failed my shoulders. It was everything to get to
• 1:34:16
  that. And then I was like, well, I'm
• 1:34:18
  not trying it again. I'm done with that.
• 1:34:20
  That was my that was my attempt and I'm done.
• 1:34:23
  That's. Yeah, Thomas Stroud, 291 so
• 1:34:28
  close to 300. Thomas is on my team.
• 1:34:30
  He did pretty good this week. Yeah, I.
• 1:34:35
  What about you, Tyler? What about me?
• 1:34:38
  What? What about your?
• 1:34:39
  Biggest set of double unders. I don't think I've ever hit 200.
• 1:34:44
  Have you tried? You're good.
• 1:34:46
  You're good at double unders. I'm, I think I'm too tense.
• 1:34:50
  I've always been too tense and I blow up.
• 1:34:53
  I definitely can do like sets of 100 on repeat, but it's when I
• 1:34:57
  start to get like higher volume that I start to explode.
• 1:35:02
  I don't know, I haven't done it in a long time.
• 1:35:03
  I would I would consider like training them for a couple
• 1:35:07
  weeks, like do flight simulator for a week or something and then
• 1:35:10
  Tesla. Y'all should try to do it with a
• 1:35:11
  heavy rope. I've done 100 on a heavy rope
• 1:35:13
  and it was the same feeling as 267.
• 1:35:18
  I bet it was everything. I got 100 but no, I was really
• 1:35:20
  happy with it. But that's really good.
• 1:35:22
  It's so different. It's so different.
• 1:35:25
  I would need someone else to count for me because I screw up
• 1:35:29
  counting double unders worse than any other movement.
• 1:35:32
  I had to do 150 and a workout one time and I did 120 and I was
• 1:35:36
  like, yeah, I did 150. Sound like sound like Danny.
• 1:35:40
  There's a girl and Travis Mayer goes to her jump rope clinic
• 1:35:45
  every now and again. I'm pretty sure her name is
• 1:35:47
  Double under Annie. She can do double unders for 10
• 1:35:51
  minutes without stopping. Every single year she does 1000
• 1:35:55
  double unders in a row. Just like just once a year.
• 1:35:58
  One time a year she'll do 1000 double unders in a row.
• 1:36:00
  Just to, you know, make sure she can still do it I guess.
• 1:36:04
  And her, her flight simulator time is like four O 4 or
• 1:36:10
  something like that. Like I, I, when I was trying to
• 1:36:12
  get rid of jump roping, I was like, OK, Fraser did this in
• 1:36:15
  like 630. So like 7 minutes is unbroken
• 1:36:18
  with like kind of stepping through relatively quick.
• 1:36:22
  And she was just, so all she does is jump rope, like she does
• 1:36:25
  CrossFit, but but her job is jump roping and she would do her
• 1:36:28
  double unders and they're faster than most people's double
• 1:36:31
  unders, right? And then she like like 5 and
• 1:36:34
  then 10, 15. There was no step through.
• 1:36:39
  There was no step through like, and it was the fastest you've
• 1:36:42
  ever seen in your life. And just straight through like
• 1:36:45
  that. I, I want to say her name's
• 1:36:47
  double under Annie. She's worth looking up on
• 1:36:49
  YouTube. She does some pretty sick stuff
• 1:36:51
  with a jump rope. But all of her videos are like
• 1:36:53
  10 years old. So like they're old videos.
• 1:36:56
  But if you want to see and she looks, she looks like anything.
• 1:36:59
  She just looks like this skinny little woman.
• 1:37:03
  Just amazing. Yeah.
• 1:37:07
  Guys want to do some blind rankings?
• 1:37:11
  Let's do it. All right, let's see blind
• 1:37:17
  rankings this this week, blind rankings.
• 1:37:19
  The category is 25 breakthrough, which you're ranked to athletes
• 1:37:26
  who have the best chance OK of making it to the CrossFit Games
• 1:37:31
  this year who have not basically a rookie breakthrough.
• 1:37:36
  Who's we'll see you. Guys, want to strategize before
• 1:37:40
  you see the first one. I just don't know who #1 is.
• 1:37:44
  What's the category? I'm sorry I'm.
• 1:37:46
  Sorry, who's going to breakthrough to the games?
• 1:37:48
  Most likely to breakthrough the games.
• 1:37:50
  OK OK, this is a hard year to breakthrough through the games I
• 1:37:54
  feel. There's just a lot of moving
• 1:37:55
  pieces. Yeah, I OK, probably Erica Folo.
• 1:38:04
  Yeah, this is hard, man. I feel like you're going to say
• 1:38:06
  a name that we're just not thinking of.
• 1:38:07
  We're like, yeah, that's the one.
• 1:38:10
  Will Leahy. I I don't I see Erica over him
• 1:38:14
  but. Astrid.
• 1:38:17
  No Molly Mets. Is Astron in the open?
• 1:38:22
  Double under I'll. Look real quick.
• 1:38:24
  Real quick, all the double under things I was saying her name's
• 1:38:27
  Molly Mets. Thank you.
• 1:38:28
  Thank you, slow runner. It's not double under Annie.
• 1:38:31
  Thank you. Thank you.
• 1:38:32
  Slow runner, Molly, Annie, they all go together.
• 1:38:35
  Annie's a jump rope workout. It's.
• 1:38:37
  Samsonite. Calm down, Lucy Campbell's
• 1:38:39
  already been in the games, Barry.
• 1:38:41
  All right, let's just kind of go with it.
• 1:38:42
  And we'll and we'll and. We'll get one on the board and
• 1:38:45
  we'll know where we're at, yeah. Here we go, First one, Trista
• 1:38:50
  Smith. That's a solid 3.
• 1:38:59
  How's she doing? I will not have higher than 3.
• 1:39:02
  Tyler. If you want to go lower than
• 1:39:03
  three, I will not argue against. She was so close.
• 1:39:07
  I will not have her higher than 3 Tyler.
• 1:39:11
  John She she basically almost made it.
• 1:39:13
  Yeah, but the the way to make it though, you have to be top two
• 1:39:16
  in these competitions and she's not that she had to be top
• 1:39:19
  eleven last time. There's just a huge, huge
• 1:39:22
  difference. And like her best competition
• 1:39:25
  we've ever seen her do was that semi finals.
• 1:39:28
  I agree. She was very impressive, very
• 1:39:31
  impressive. She hadn't done anything since.
• 1:39:34
  Yeah, I'll go three. I'm OK with three.
• 1:39:36
  I just wanted to like, give it a fair, fair shake.
• 1:39:39
  Two or three, all right. Next one Ty Jenkins.
• 1:39:48
  This one's hard again because I just don't see his path.
• 1:39:53
  I actually think Ty has a better shot than Trista does.
• 1:39:58
  I know you don't. I know you don't.
• 1:39:59
  It's OK. But like I think Ty is fitter
• 1:40:01
  than Trista. I see Ty as having a better like
• 1:40:04
  career path than Trista but he's just not right now.
• 1:40:07
  He's just not there yet and it's harder.
• 1:40:09
  I would. Agree.
• 1:40:10
  It's harder for men to breakthrough than it is women be
• 1:40:13
  just because the top of the sphere for women is so much
• 1:40:16
  better than like after the top 15 women it's just a huge drop
• 1:40:22
  off and Trista can sneak in right?
• 1:40:26
  Ty dude, there's 1000 guys that are like, you know, trying to
• 1:40:32
  breakthrough thousands too many. But again, it's hard to
• 1:40:34
  breakthrough for men. I want to put Ty at 2:00.
• 1:40:38
  If you want to put him at 4I won't argue you 2.
• 1:40:41
  I I was going to go 5 and be conservative 4, then you're
• 1:40:46
  going to only give me the two choices.
• 1:40:48
  But I think with he. Won.
• 1:40:49
  He won. I know, I know it's not a a lot,
• 1:40:52
  but he did win. He won the RX division at
• 1:40:54
  Watapalooza and guys that win the RX division at Watapalooza
• 1:40:57
  tend to breakthrough. In the in the old way of.
• 1:41:01
  It. That's the hard part.
• 1:41:03
  OK, you say what you want. Hiller was second.
• 1:41:05
  So I don't know how much we got to we can put stock into that,
• 1:41:08
  no offense. Hiller, my thing with with him,
• 1:41:12
  I I agree. I think his career is going to
• 1:41:14
  be great. I just think he needs more time
• 1:41:16
  to cook. No, no.
• 1:41:18
  And I don't disagree with that. I think this whole, this whole
• 1:41:22
  season, like The thing is you look at again, 28 men and 27
• 1:41:27
  women or 27 men, 28 women from last year's games are back this
• 1:41:31
  year. There's only 30 men and women.
• 1:41:34
  Like it's going to be hard, dude.
• 1:41:37
  It's going to be. Crazy hard.
• 1:41:38
  I think this is the hardest year to make the games we've had in a
• 1:41:41
  while. I think the easy the quote UN
• 1:41:44
  quote easiest way to make it is through semifinals the online
• 1:41:46
  piece. And that's top 11.
• 1:41:48
  And that's top 11 in the entire world.
• 1:41:50
  Like to be tough. All right.
• 1:41:54
  Next one. And Aspen is not.
• 1:41:56
  Yeah. She's not in the open.
• 1:41:58
  So let's see. Here's the thing, I bought a lot
• 1:42:04
  of stock of her last year and she was God awful in in semi
• 1:42:09
  finals and and like I know obviously not God awful but she
• 1:42:13
  did nothing that would inspire me.
• 1:42:15
  Screwed us with Trista. No new calm down, we're fine.
• 1:42:19
  Mir him put I put it 5. I think.
• 1:42:24
  I think Miriam should have gone at 4 but 5 all.
• 1:42:28
  Right, all right, one and two. You have Erica Folo left, man,
• 1:42:33
  and I put her over everybody. If she's in there.
• 1:42:36
  How would she not be in here? Spin has done a disservice if
• 1:42:41
  she's not. If she's not in here, Spin has
• 1:42:43
  done a disservice to us and the people watching and honestly?
• 1:42:46
  This is not the top five total break.
• 1:42:49
  This is raking top five. If if Yolo Polo is not in here,
• 1:42:54
  you should be ashamed of yourself.
• 1:42:56
  You are ranking five athletes that are on here.
• 1:43:00
  Thanks for playing ball. Here we go.
• 1:43:02
  Next one, Colin Bosshard. Yeah.
• 1:43:06
  I have the least faith in this. Guy and see he's escaped my
• 1:43:10
  radar. Other than listening people say
• 1:43:13
  his name and him doing well this week, I know very little about.
• 1:43:16
  Him. Well, he was in.
• 1:43:17
  He was about to make the games. Who?
• 1:43:19
  Else in Europe is competing. And here's the thing, he, he
• 1:43:23
  will benefit from a lot of people dropping out, right?
• 1:43:26
  But he he he was very close to making the games and then he had
• 1:43:31
  a terrible last event and the a snatch event, I don't think was
• 1:43:35
  great for him. But the lunging, he blew up in
• 1:43:37
  the lunging. He was in a position to make it
• 1:43:39
  and then he blew up in the lunging.
• 1:43:40
  Harry Lightfoot came in and killed everybody.
• 1:43:42
  I actually not Harry Lightfoot, but maybe more it's Phoebe.
• 1:43:45
  Somebody came in and got like second place and and took it
• 1:43:49
  away from me straight up. So I mean, I'm good with two
• 1:43:53
  here. And then we just let it ride.
• 1:43:55
  It could be terrible, but it's up to you.
• 1:43:58
  We don't. Yeah.
• 1:43:59
  He's not going at one. OK.
• 1:44:01
  And we're just going to have to live with it.
• 1:44:03
  And listen, if it's, if it's, if Erica Folo is on here, then this
• 1:44:07
  is the list we've chosen. I'll make my peace with it.
• 1:44:10
  I hope you can too. If she's not here, it's
• 1:44:13
  completely spins fault. And the last one is not Erica
• 1:44:18
  Folo, it is a dude. I think maybe here we go, Victor
• 1:44:26
  Hoffer. I think I may have forgotten
• 1:44:28
  here. We go.
• 1:44:30
  Jorge Fernandez. Oh man, Georgina.
• 1:44:35
  I told you Trista should have been first, dude.
• 1:44:38
  Yeah, Yeah, you're right, Jorge. You know what's bad, though?
• 1:44:44
  I just don't like, like, I think Ty's going to end up being the
• 1:44:49
  best one in all five of these people And, and well, that's.
• 1:44:54
  In the next 5 years, he looked at it's just a.
• 1:44:56
  Bad list. I don't like it at all.
• 1:45:01
  Not even the order, just the people.
• 1:45:03
  It needs to go. Trista, you're the only one.
• 1:45:06
  Trista Jorge Miram. Dude no shot Jorge, what he was,
• 1:45:13
  what he looked like last year in a semi final.
• 1:45:15
  He used to tell me he's going to get top 2.
• 1:45:18
  We're talking. About this list dude, this list.
• 1:45:21
  Yeah, yeah, I think so. Look where does Ty live?
• 1:45:27
  He's he's in Florida now. He's on the East Florida.
• 1:45:29
  He's on the. East.
• 1:45:30
  And he's he's trading with Dallin day in day.
• 1:45:33
  Out Norcal is probably his best shot then, other than the a lot
• 1:45:37
  of people other than the online semi final.
• 1:45:41
  Yeah, I just think the list is trash man.
• 1:45:43
  I'm not. I'm just, I mean, I'm blaming
• 1:45:45
  this on spin. Why is there so much talk about
• 1:45:51
  sitting and peeing? That's because games often to
• 1:45:56
  say about you or no, he said. He said.
• 1:45:59
  Jorge, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on.
• 1:46:01
  Come back up the list a little bit.
• 1:46:04
  Jorge says, no, this is is referencing Tyler sister P.
• 1:46:08
  So Austin had that that shot of him at Rich's barn with his his
• 1:46:12
  legs were like super wide standing there and he looked
• 1:46:15
  like a three-year old peeing. And I was like, what a pee
• 1:46:19
  stance And he said you sit when you pee.
• 1:46:21
  I was like, no dude, I go straight pants down to the
• 1:46:24
  ground, butt out like kindergarten style man Very.
• 1:46:32
  I didn't know Austin was in here.
• 1:46:33
  I don't thinking around. No, he's he's always lurking.
• 1:46:37
  I'll. Be honest, I don't even know
• 1:46:40
  what to make up this list. I feel like maybe Trista and
• 1:46:45
  then mirror him just because. I think the I think the
• 1:46:48
  Europeans have the best chance. A lot of European women are like
• 1:46:51
  are just out but think about. Think about the French throw
• 1:46:54
  down. Even those who are the top
• 1:46:56
  athletes are going to be, they're going to be in
• 1:46:59
  Indianapolis doing the the World Fitness project.
• 1:47:02
  Yeah, you're, you're right. OK, OK, OK.
• 1:47:04
  OK. What the order should have been.
• 1:47:06
  This is my fault, completely my fault.
• 1:47:08
  If we do not put fault on spin, I would say go spin 1st.
• 1:47:14
  And if it evolves spin, then I would say mirror him and then
• 1:47:19
  Colin and then Trista and then Ty and then Jorge.
• 1:47:26
  Trista, Jorge, Miriam. Why do you think Jorge has a
• 1:47:30
  shot at all? Give me playing the list, John.
• 1:47:34
  Give me any statistical reason why Jorge should be up there.
• 1:47:39
  He he has been the semifinals. He's.
• 1:47:42
  How does he, how does he qualify?
• 1:47:45
  Where does he qualify out of? That's the problem, yeah.
• 1:47:48
  I know nothing about Colin Bouchard.
• 1:47:50
  That's pretty. That's pretty.
• 1:47:51
  He's the. Closest one to making the games
• 1:47:53
  out of all of these people last year, he was the closest one,
• 1:47:57
  yeah. He's right outside in Europe.
• 1:47:59
  OK, then maybe I'm just guessing right or maybe I'm under ranking
• 1:48:03
  Colin so. Jorge was not close at all.
• 1:48:08
  I'm not coming off of Trista. Trista, I'll give you Colin.
• 1:48:13
  Careful with your wording Mirror Tyler.
• 1:48:15
  Miriam Thai, Jorge. There you go.
• 1:48:21
  You just threw him down there at the bottom now.
• 1:48:23
  Well, you forced my hand. I got to do something with it.
• 1:48:26
  All right, all right, that's the blind rankings.
• 1:48:31
  You guys lost last one. I.
• 1:48:33
  Think we all lost with that list?
• 1:48:35
  We. Need we need a better?
• 1:48:37
  It's a disservice. Yeah.
• 1:48:39
  We it was it was bad in person. Qualifying events.
• 1:48:44
  Some news Lucas Hogberg gets an automatic invite to the Rebel
• 1:48:49
  Renegade Games. That's in Africa.
• 1:48:52
  Right, he's in the Africa. Really quick.
• 1:48:55
  Do we want to ask Austin if he's down for the thing that we
• 1:48:57
  talked about with Colton? Yeah, if say it, John.
• 1:49:02
  OK, if the repeat Austin is not 23.3, I have told Colton that he
• 1:49:08
  cannot beat you in this workout. He says he can't.
• 1:49:12
  So we were going to do this on the spin live whenever you 2 are
• 1:49:16
  about it, he's about it. Do you accept?
• 1:49:19
  And if you do not accept, you're open to any words?
• 1:49:23
  So you're not accepting? Just letting you know I'm sorry
• 1:49:27
  for throwing you in the fires or the name of the fire.
• 1:49:29
  Just seemed like something you would be down for.
• 1:49:31
  What do you say? If you're yellow, I guess we'll
• 1:49:36
  know then. If you're OK 23.3 it's.
• 1:49:41
  Dixie Dixie for the $2.00 said Austin said yes.
• 1:49:44
  All right, Dixie, Don't know. Yeah, she does.
• 1:49:49
  Dixie or Dave A. Good deal.
• 1:49:50
  All right then we need to, we need to coordinate this spin.
• 1:49:53
  Let's. Figure it out.
• 1:49:55
  Get our people. We've done it before, we can do
• 1:49:56
  it again. Let's figure it out.
• 1:49:59
  Oh man, they're back-to-back. Oh God.
• 1:50:04
  Do you want to bring them both on right now and just get terms?
• 1:50:07
  Dear Dave, We'll we'll sort that out.
• 1:50:10
  We got to find out if it's a repeat, Dave.
• 1:50:12
  Please program that work out. Yeah, in person qualifying
• 1:50:18
  events. All right, Lucas Hochberg.
• 1:50:24
  That's pretty exciting. Right.
• 1:50:25
  I dig it. He's great.
• 1:50:26
  I don't know what he's been doing.
• 1:50:28
  Nothing. He's been doing like programming
• 1:50:30
  and stuff, making weird videos. Still do.
• 1:50:33
  Does that all the time. Still makes funny videos.
• 1:50:35
  Yeah, dude, Lucas Hoberg, he's he's much better in in
• 1:50:40
  competition than he is online. Lucas Hogberg was the guy that
• 1:50:43
  did not make quarterfinals or something like that, semi finals
• 1:50:47
  with quarterfinals. No, I know I'm saying no.
• 1:50:49
  In person. He's much better than he is
• 1:50:50
  online. He, I went back through his
• 1:50:53
  Instagram like he back in November, September sometime
• 1:50:58
  last year, he basically made a comment that he's like, I want
• 1:51:00
  to get back on the competition floor.
• 1:51:02
  I miss competing or something like that.
• 1:51:04
  And people started asking in the comments like, are you coming
• 1:51:06
  back? He's like maybe and so I don't
• 1:51:10
  think he's just like shown back up.
• 1:51:13
  Like I think he has an interest in coming back.
• 1:51:15
  And like one of his posts was like talking about how much he
• 1:51:18
  loves CrossFit and how much he thanks everything that he has
• 1:51:24
  for bases, all the opportunities he's gotten because of CrossFit.
• 1:51:28
  He's based and if it's in Africa, he's got a serious shot
• 1:51:32
  to make it because they they only let they like who, who
• 1:51:37
  Africa and what else it's. Africa, Dubai and the Gulf
• 1:51:42
  countries. I mean, so and Ruan's out.
• 1:51:44
  Yeah. Who?
• 1:51:45
  Who? Who would he be?
• 1:51:46
  Keelan is out. He didn't.
• 1:51:48
  Bruno, Marines Bruno Marines Count Bruno.
• 1:51:50
  Could go there. Yeah, Bruno might be the one,
• 1:51:53
  but still, like, he's got a really good shot to make it.
• 1:51:57
  If he's, if he's still in shape, I, I mean, I'm sure he is.
• 1:52:00
  He was always like, I felt like he was always one of those guys
• 1:52:03
  who was never that far out of shape in any part of the year.
• 1:52:07
  He's he's an OG though, Like people are saying Lucas who, and
• 1:52:12
  it's like he's he's been around a long time.
• 1:52:17
  Oh yeah, well you say you say OG and I think like O 7.
• 1:52:19
  Well, it's not O he's. Not no, no.
• 1:52:22
  It's just, I mean, it's, you know, we've been around for a
• 1:52:24
  minute, you know what I mean? He's pre. 2015.
• 1:52:28
  He's pre Greg rift. Yeah, he took third on 20/18.
• 1:52:33
  He was only behind Frazier and Fukowski or Velder.
• 1:52:40
  Or Fukowski. Fukowski.
• 1:52:41
  Yeah, he was. It was Fukowski.
• 1:52:42
  No, Fukowski and him tied. They tied.
• 1:52:45
  And he he got the tie break. Yeah, in 2018 he got the tie
• 1:52:48
  break and he got the tie break on the event right before that
• 1:52:50
  event. 2 stroke pool was his big.
• 1:52:53
  He got first place, killed everybody.
• 1:52:55
  Fukowski was second that. Was one of the.
• 1:52:58
  Yeah. That was one of the 1st one of
• 1:53:02
  the big cases for P score for me or Z score back then and Brent,
• 1:53:07
  Brent really would have got him had they scored it a little bit
• 1:53:09
  more proper. Yeah, oh man.
• 1:53:15
  IE calm down Austin, you're only allowed to speak like that to
• 1:53:18
  people you. What's wrong with sitting to pee
• 1:53:20
  every now and again? Sometimes you're tired.
• 1:53:22
  You can't say that. You can't say that to people who
• 1:53:24
  live more than. Hey Chase, he is in the top 1%.
• 1:53:28
  He's in the like .8% right now. Oof, cutting it close, Luca.
• 1:53:33
  Lucas, that's about where Tia is.
• 1:53:37
  Also in some IPQE news, Travis Mayer's out Tyler, he's no
• 1:53:43
  longer in the the Mayhem Classic.
• 1:53:45
  Augustine Rochelle May takes a spot, but Augustine didn't sign
• 1:53:49
  up for the Open, so. Classic.
• 1:53:52
  Whoops. He'll just be there doing
• 1:53:55
  whatever he feels like. So is Travis in the open though?
• 1:53:59
  Travis is in the open. He is there.
• 1:54:02
  I'm good with it. You good?
• 1:54:04
  OK. Victoria Campos takes Ellie
• 1:54:06
  Turner's spot. Neither are in the open.
• 1:54:12
  OK. I mean, at this point, I think
• 1:54:15
  they're just like, all right, we got to fill a roster like.
• 1:54:18
  I definitely think that might be the case.
• 1:54:20
  Like they, you know, they did invite 20 athletes, made it
• 1:54:23
  public and then still waiting less than half.
• 1:54:26
  Still waiting on my invite but it's OK.
• 1:54:28
  Right, it got lost. You can show up if you want.
• 1:54:32
  Hey, is Tyler going? That's playing.
• 1:54:37
  You're going to make him. I'm planning on it.
• 1:54:39
  Yeah, to to compete. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 1:54:41
  I mean, I'll be competing with somebody for something,
• 1:54:43
  evidently with Austin to see who can stand to be the longest or
• 1:54:46
  something. I just drank a lot of kool-aid.
• 1:54:52
  I got a long stream about the pop around just letting you
• 1:54:55
  know. Barry Mccockner What is going on
• 1:54:59
  with Ellie? Her back hurts but she's doing
• 1:55:01
  wall facing handstand push ups? I have no idea.
• 1:55:05
  Ellie's not doing the open man. That's it.
• 1:55:07
  That's all we know. We're not going to talk bad
• 1:55:09
  about her. Augustine is in the open.
• 1:55:13
  I did not see the score earlier. We'll do a little fact checking
• 1:55:18
  session here, Augustus. Augustine.
• 1:55:23
  Oh, no. Oh, I think he is there.
• 1:55:26
  Yep. He is.
• 1:55:27
  He is 118th. OK, good.
• 1:55:29
  Not too bad. So how's that work?
• 1:55:34
  They just get, they just gave Lucas a spot.
• 1:55:38
  He's not from South America, or he's not.
• 1:55:40
  Yeah, but if he lives, if he lives in Dubai, which I think he
• 1:55:43
  does right now. Oh, he does.
• 1:55:44
  He gets an. Invite.
• 1:55:45
  Yeah, I was like same, same with Sarah Sigmund Slaughter.
• 1:55:47
  Yeah, yeah. I was like, man, I would just
• 1:55:50
  really try to suck up whoever's giving invites to that
• 1:55:52
  competition. Like, listen, hey, if freaking
• 1:55:56
  what if Tristan Smith gets to Africa?
• 1:55:59
  I will let. I mean, then I'll pick her.
• 1:56:01
  I mean, we talk about like how hard it is to make it to get in
• 1:56:04
  for some of these like those five.
• 1:56:07
  Would you consider doing the the online qualifier for like Asia?
• 1:56:13
  If you're them, yeah. Yeah, if you're Trista Smith,
• 1:56:16
  you're not. Going to, you're not going to
• 1:56:17
  get in any other way. That's your way in.
• 1:56:22
  If you're somebody like Colton, like do a do a, a long autograph
• 1:56:26
  signing and that'll pay for the whole trip right there.
• 1:56:29
  They don't ever, no, no big athletes ever go out there.
• 1:56:32
  And so, yeah, and then you'll win.
• 1:56:34
  It'd be a a trip worth it. I mean.
• 1:56:36
  Well, I think Colton's just making.
• 1:56:38
  He's going to be good enough somewhere.
• 1:56:40
  I mean, I think we do need to do a show where we walk through who
• 1:56:44
  we think is going to make it through each of these because if
• 1:56:48
  you think about mayhem and that's that field is stacked.
• 1:56:52
  If you just look at just the men.
• 1:56:54
  I mean, this is a show for another day, but I've been
• 1:56:56
  working through this and it's like you better make it in an
• 1:57:00
  affiliate semifinal because if you.
• 1:57:03
  Start like if you miss mayhem and then you go do.
• 1:57:06
  NCC. Well, you do the, you do the
• 1:57:09
  online semifinal, you miss and you're going to do World Fitness
• 1:57:13
  project if you're like a Dallin or a Jason or a Medeiros.
• 1:57:17
  And then you got to turn around and go do either TFX or
• 1:57:22
  Syndicate or then NCC. And then the week after that,
• 1:57:26
  NCC is the last chance qualifier.
• 1:57:30
  Inelastics qualifier. There's a lot like.
• 1:57:33
  How did? You do this.
• 1:57:35
  How does this work then? So Mayhem is before the N
• 1:57:39
  affiliate semifinal. But the one in Spain is also
• 1:57:44
  before. If you win or if you qualify
• 1:57:50
  through an in affiliate semifinal, we might not know
• 1:57:53
  who's going from mayhem. No, no.
• 1:57:56
  If you make it in Mayhem, you go to mayhem.
• 1:57:58
  Who, what wherever you get through first you get through.
• 1:58:00
  So if you make it in Spain, you go from Spain, does not matter
• 1:58:03
  where you are in the in affiliate, but then online
• 1:58:06
  semifinal. So in the in affiliate semifinal
• 1:58:08
  then if if mayhem goes first, if you qualify through mayhem, does
• 1:58:12
  it backfill? It backfills in the in affiliate
• 1:58:14
  semifinal. Yeah, you probably don't.
• 1:58:17
  Even do the semifinal at that point.
• 1:58:18
  But I mean, if you do then like it will backfill there and it'll
• 1:58:21
  be top 12. OK spin.
• 1:58:25
  Did Victor Hoffer not knew the open?
• 1:58:27
  I do see him. He's not.
• 1:58:32
  He's kind of a weird one, huh? Yeah.
• 1:58:36
  He's I'm almost positive. You know, I mean, I, I believe
• 1:58:40
  you. I'm gonna say he's an odd one to
• 1:58:42
  not do it, I think. Agreed, especially with how much
• 1:58:45
  like marketing and stuff they were trying to hype him last
• 1:58:47
  year. And he didn't, he didn't even do
• 1:58:49
  it. It's not like he did it like.
• 1:58:51
  He's got world fitness project money, man.
• 1:58:56
  Okey doke. Okey doke.
• 1:58:58
  I don't know. I yeah, I mean, I think the
• 1:59:02
  season, it's it's I like the season, but I don't think
• 1:59:08
  anybody knows how to best navigate it.
• 1:59:11
  No, no, how to best navigate it, That's your training.
• 1:59:16
  Because like I've said this before, when Mayhem was
• 1:59:18
  starting, like the Mayhem Classic, it was like when they
• 1:59:21
  invited these top 20 athletes in the world.
• 1:59:23
  Like, if I'm #19 I know I'm not going to beat all those guys,
• 1:59:29
  right? So do I Do I not go and try to
• 1:59:32
  go find a different path? Right?
• 1:59:35
  I mean, if you know you're not going to beat all those guys,
• 1:59:37
  then I think you just weren't going to make it unless you have
• 1:59:40
  an opportunity the way Lucas Hogburg does.
• 1:59:43
  So Sprague is going to go to Mayhem.
• 1:59:47
  See, I don't know if that's Sprague's best move.
• 1:59:49
  But see, think about, think about Sprague.
• 1:59:51
  So Sprague, let's say he doesn't do it.
• 1:59:54
  He, he doesn't qualify. He takes third, right?
• 1:59:56
  So now he doesn't get it. He goes to the N affiliate
• 1:59:59
  semifinal the first weekend of May.
• 2:00:01
  It's probably, and it probably not great for him.
• 2:00:03
  Right, so let's say he finishes 13th.
• 2:00:05
  He's out the weekend after that. He has to be in Indianapolis for
• 2:00:09
  World Fitness Project. The weekend after that is TFX if
• 2:00:13
  he chooses to do it. Which is his best route?
• 2:00:16
  Which is probably the best way of getting there.
• 2:00:18
  And then if he doesn't do that, he goes to West or to the Norcal
• 2:00:22
  Classic. Which a whole first.
• 2:00:24
  Week in the June a lot of people are going to be doing and then
• 2:00:28
  if you don't do that the following week you have to do
• 2:00:31
  the last chance qualifier. And that's probably not going to
• 2:00:33
  be good for him. Right, because it's another
• 2:00:35
  online piece. TFX is your best bet and you
• 2:00:37
  have to do World Fitness project the weekend before.
• 2:00:40
  And probably semifinals the week before that.
• 2:00:43
  If I'm spraying, I'm going to WFPE and I'm laying down bunts.
• 2:00:49
  I'm basically not playing, I'm just there.
• 2:00:52
  How many are going to do that? That's a good question.
• 2:00:55
  But no, I mean, I agree with Tyler.
• 2:00:56
  I think, I think you prioritize and I think Sprague will
• 2:01:01
  prioritize that. For sure, yeah.
• 2:01:05
  Just treat it like training and like, do the do, yeah?
• 2:01:10
  I mean, we'll, we'll definitely get into that after the open
• 2:01:12
  wraps up. And like giving like Max out
• 2:01:14
  lifts you just you just it doesn't matter.
• 2:01:17
  Yeah, you pull on a three KG and do 95 LB cleaning, jerk and call
• 2:01:20
  it a day. I don't know.
• 2:01:21
  We might do like, you know, 225 or something.
• 2:01:26
  Augustus, didn't Hopper say something about being exclusive
• 2:01:29
  with WFP? No, he spoke about 2026 saying
• 2:01:34
  that next year for WFP was going to be exclusive.
• 2:01:38
  Will call me very quickly after that and said no, no, no.
• 2:01:43
  We want to play with everybody. So I don't know.
• 2:01:48
  I wonder if the WFP has realized that they have increased our our
• 2:01:53
  is now like our coverage like during 20, what was it 2019 when
• 2:02:00
  we had all the sanctionals? We're going to be in place back
• 2:02:07
  then. Right.
• 2:02:08
  But that's when all those grew, like Armin was like super
• 2:02:12
  important in those times, right? And his channel skyrocketed.
• 2:02:16
  And it's like, I think, I don't know if the WFP has realized
• 2:02:19
  that we've become very important due to them.
• 2:02:22
  I won't say that we're important, but we're going to
• 2:02:24
  get more volume because they did what they did.
• 2:02:27
  Well, what when is there? When is there event?
• 2:02:31
  May 9th through the 11th. OK, OK.
• 2:02:37
  I think I you guys are saying, you know, I don't think that.
• 2:02:43
  I don't think he has it in him to bunt.
• 2:02:45
  You got to have priority. Yeah, like if he doesn't do
• 2:02:51
  that, like he's just he's not prioritizing making the games
• 2:02:53
  and I just think he will. Like if you're not going to
• 2:02:55
  break yourself the week before your best opportunity to make
• 2:03:00
  the games, especially if you've already failed to make it in
• 2:03:03
  Mayhem, you did not make it in the inline person in online, in
• 2:03:07
  person affiliate semi final. This like TFX would be one.
• 2:03:12
  It's your third shot at trying to do it and it's your best
• 2:03:15
  shot. There's just I don't see him
• 2:03:19
  killing himself for points like to do at the world fitness
• 2:03:24
  project. I just don't.
• 2:03:26
  This is like he's, he's smart and like if you're and like if
• 2:03:31
  you're Justin, if you're Justin, you're doing the same thing.
• 2:03:36
  And essentially like you're going there like you're going to
• 2:03:39
  earn points if he does the workouts, like he's not going to
• 2:03:42
  do terrible. Even if he he, he's like, OK,
• 2:03:44
  I'm going to go like 8590% or something, right?
• 2:03:47
  That's still middle of the pack for most of the.
• 2:03:50
  Work, he's still going to do well, and then the rest of it is
• 2:03:53
  like it's a tour, so it's just getting in front of fans and
• 2:03:56
  it's just like shaking hands and kissing babies, like that's
• 2:04:00
  their thing. The December 1 is what matters
• 2:04:02
  most. If you talk, take top five or
• 2:04:03
  ten. You're probably going to
• 2:04:04
  guarantee your card anyway. Which one?
• 2:04:09
  Which honestly, again, we could get into this another show
• 2:04:12
  because it's been over two hours, but like the points
• 2:04:16
  associated with World Fitness Project, it's not impossible,
• 2:04:20
  but probably most pros will end up getting their card again just
• 2:04:24
  because it's how difficult it is to be a challenger.
• 2:04:28
  And get it. All three times.
• 2:04:35
  So actually Colton might have the best route through this.
• 2:04:41
  He'd have to get in on the in person affiliate semi final for
• 2:04:44
  it to be the best route. You think it the in affiliate
• 2:04:47
  semifinal he won't qualify. I'm saying he would have to
• 2:04:50
  qualify for it to be the best route.
• 2:04:54
  And then cuz he's planning on doing the Challenger division.
• 2:04:57
  Correct. Yeah.
• 2:04:59
  Like if you get your spot early, then like then you're good or
• 2:05:02
  like and honestly, like whoever gets it out of mayhem, then
• 2:05:06
  those guys, they're going full throttle the whole time, right?
• 2:05:09
  So like. Because it's basically just like
• 2:05:11
  the the treat the World fitness project as their semi final.
• 2:05:14
  Right. And I mean like, if you make it
• 2:05:15
  through Mayhem, then the season's going to go pretty
• 2:05:17
  awesome for you. Everything that you thought it
• 2:05:19
  was going to be, it's going to be.
• 2:05:21
  But the problem is there's 10 of y'all that think that, and only
• 2:05:25
  two it's going to happen to and those other eight it's going to
• 2:05:29
  be rough and like and like and like.
• 2:05:33
  So like let's say and like you know, down and Hopper both in
• 2:05:37
  the make him classic, right, right.
• 2:05:41
  Yeah. So if those two, they're both
• 2:05:45
  like either likely to make it through their or the in
• 2:05:48
  affiliate or syndicate, right? Like they, they both have a very
• 2:05:54
  decent shot of making it through one of those three.
• 2:05:57
  If you don't make it through one of those three, though, because
• 2:06:00
  there's hurdles to all of them, like then this is a terrible
• 2:06:04
  season, right? Like, like, and it's not like
• 2:06:07
  not terrible and like you still can't make it, but like just the
• 2:06:10
  stress that's just come from that.
• 2:06:13
  And there's, I don't think you're going to get good
• 2:06:14
  training because you had to go to all these things and it's,
• 2:06:20
  and I just think it's likely to happen.
• 2:06:22
  It's likely to happen to somebody.
• 2:06:24
  I'm not saying those two, but it's going to happen to multiple
• 2:06:28
  really, really good games athletes.
• 2:06:31
  Yeah, unless you're a TIO, you can't guarantee yourself a top
• 2:06:33
  two spot anywhere. Right.
• 2:06:35
  And and then don't get me wrong, you make it in Mayhem, then
• 2:06:37
  everything's going to be great and you can be and it's going to
• 2:06:40
  be like, see, I told you so this is all about opportunity.
• 2:06:42
  I'm getting making more money. You're absolutely right.
• 2:06:46
  But if you aren't those two, it's not going to be easy.
• 2:06:53
  I think I actually think that some of these top athletes might
• 2:06:58
  gain resentment. The ones who are doing who will
• 2:07:02
  easily qualify for the games, not easily, but are the top
• 2:07:06
  athletes that will qualify to the games out of the N affiliate
• 2:07:08
  semi are are the in person semifinals already in the in
• 2:07:12
  affiliate semifinals And then go to the WFP because they're like,
• 2:07:18
  there'll be this narrative that you're kind of taking spots and
• 2:07:20
  you're like doing this other thing and like you're half
• 2:07:22
  invested. I could see there being some
• 2:07:25
  friction at some point where they're like kind of like, fuck
• 2:07:28
  you, like I want to go to the CrossFit games and you're like
• 2:07:32
  half hearted doing this. Like this is my thing and you're
• 2:07:35
  over here with the WFP and I can't even get in there because
• 2:07:37
  your thing won't invite me in. You were invited into that.
• 2:07:44
  Maybe I mean. I don't, I don't, I don't see
• 2:07:47
  that, Tyler. I, I 'cause you still choose,
• 2:07:50
  you still choose yourself to do that.
• 2:07:52
  You didn't have to. No.
• 2:07:56
  Like they don't control what you choose, They're not affecting
• 2:07:58
  your. You sign the contract, you know
• 2:08:01
  what you're in for when you're doing that.
• 2:08:03
  If not, no. I'm talking about the athletes
• 2:08:06
  who are missing out because these athletes have two like 1
• 2:08:10
  foot in both pawns. I.
• 2:08:13
  Mean, I, I think they may feel that way, but I don't think they
• 2:08:16
  should like they should have. I think when you get to TFX and
• 2:08:22
  you're going against maybe a Sprague or whoever who's, you
• 2:08:27
  know, maybe a Medeiros, if he ends up going there and he's,
• 2:08:29
  they've competed three times in a, in a in a row and you can't
• 2:08:33
  beat them, you have nothing to say.
• 2:08:35
  Well, yeah, and I think those athletes are licking their
• 2:08:37
  chops. I'm like, because if I was one
• 2:08:40
  of those athletes, and I get what you're saying, these like
• 2:08:43
  the top of the sphere are being way too greedy and they're just
• 2:08:46
  trying to do everything. And I leaves nothing for people
• 2:08:49
  who are beneath them. If I'm those people.
• 2:08:52
  And I think of people like like Chris Ibarra, right, who's not
• 2:08:55
  really like made it, but like he got to the games one year, but
• 2:08:58
  he's still like, you know, a cut below the top tier games
• 2:09:02
  athletes. Like if I'm him, I'm licking my
• 2:09:06
  chops because I'm coming to TFX as peaked and in the fittest
• 2:09:10
  I've ever been. And a 95% Sprague or a 95%
• 2:09:15
  Medeiros might not be good enough to beat me, right?
• 2:09:18
  Like, and that's how that's how I'm thinking about it.
• 2:09:20
  I can beat those guys if they're a little bit rundown and they
• 2:09:24
  there's a good chance they're going to be if they don't, if
• 2:09:26
  they don't do what we're saying with like taking it easy at the
• 2:09:31
  World Fitness Project. But we keep talking about
• 2:09:33
  Dallin, Jason Austin, but you also got Roman in there.
• 2:09:38
  Yeah. Like there's a couple other guys
• 2:09:40
  in there that they I mean. Well, you got like like a Jack
• 2:09:44
  Rosamond on any given day. Can my like the workouts are
• 2:09:47
  good for them, you know? Jacks can be one that's going to
• 2:09:50
  be having to go to syndicate probably right, and may have to
• 2:09:53
  go to somewhere last minute. Like we're going to see people
• 2:09:59
  scrambling these last few weeks to go somewhere.
• 2:10:04
  And I think if you are serious about trying to do anything you
• 2:10:06
  can to compete, you got to look into the Far East throw down, as
• 2:10:12
  crazy as that sounds like. Yeah.
• 2:10:14
  Well, you know, and that's what I'm I'm really excited for for
• 2:10:18
  Norcal because it's literally going to be every athlete
• 2:10:21
  that's. Has to be the catch all every
• 2:10:23
  athlete. That has given a lot of their
• 2:10:25
  their invites and their qualifiers already.
• 2:10:27
  They. Still have something though.
• 2:10:28
  I get I understand, I understand, but but like it will
• 2:10:31
  be the the last chance in person of qualifier.
• 2:10:37
  So I've got a feeling the atmosphere for Norcal is going
• 2:10:42
  to be way different than any other semi final because it's
• 2:10:47
  going to be like this, this, everything it rides on this,
• 2:10:50
  it's it's it's going to be. There that are extremely
• 2:10:54
  exhausted of of competing and that's that's what and let me
• 2:10:59
  restate what not restate what I was going to say, but like say
• 2:11:02
  that's not what I think that they should do, but people grow
• 2:11:06
  resentful. I was just thinking about the
• 2:11:07
  stress like people grow resentful and that there is an
• 2:11:11
  opportunity here for people have a negative opinion.
• 2:11:13
  Some of those top athletes also with the WFP for creating a sort
• 2:11:18
  of situation where athletes are having to choose this.
• 2:11:22
  Now I'm like, go out and get your money, do your thing, but
• 2:11:26
  it doesn't. It's not going to make it.
• 2:11:28
  It's just going to make it super stressful and people are going
• 2:11:30
  to. I think people are going to get
• 2:11:31
  resentful. That's more drama.
• 2:11:35
  We're here for it. The TMZ of the CrossFit world.
• 2:11:39
  I think that's it. 25.2 Tomorrow afternoon we'll find out if
• 2:11:46
  we're right. That 22.3 is, is the answer.
• 2:11:51
  Other than that, you guys are going to do your workout.
• 2:11:54
  Record it. Sir Yeah, I would almost rather
• 2:12:00
  22.3 to 23.3 at this point. The way the handstand push ups
• 2:12:04
  went today. I agree, 'cause that's a workout
• 2:12:07
  that I, I should murder Tyler on just because of the snatches and
• 2:12:13
  I couldn't, I couldn't get to the handstand push up.
• 2:12:15
  I'm like, like there, there is just zero gymnastics that I can.
• 2:12:17
  Do I don't want anything upside down?
• 2:12:19
  Grant needs it. I know you don't want it.
• 2:12:21
  I know you don't. But like it, it would hate it.
• 2:12:25
  I'm not good at it. So I need this cold to shake so
• 2:12:30
  that I can perform well, yeah. All right, guys, we are two
• 2:12:34
  hours and 12 minutes. I appreciate you guys go like
• 2:12:37
  subscribe, comment below if you're still hanging out with us
• 2:12:40
  after the fact. We'll read your comments and
• 2:12:43
  we'll see what 25.2 brings us tomorrow.
• 2:12:47
