Damn. Oh, is it built into the house? Yeah. Oh, well that's nice. So when your power goes off, your generator just automatically turns on?

Is it seamless? Yeah. Oh, that's baller. Like every Wednesday, it goes through a cycle where it just turns on for like five minutes, just as a- Thursday. I'm a Thursday guy. As a test thing and then cuts off, but yeah.

Hey, it was a crazy week. I mean, the kids didn't have school. When your turn's on, JR, does your sputter a little bit? Does it go vroom, vroom, like for the first five minutes, and then finally gets enough natural gas and it runs straight or no? It just turns on and sounds like a lawnmower right away. It sounds like a lawnmower and then it just like yeah

So I guess it keeps I guess it keeps enough Propane in the line just to run that cycle because it doesn't ever it's not really tapping into the tank. I don't think oh Yours isn't hooked up to a natural gas like it's hooked up to a thousand gallon propane tank in the ground. Oh interesting Well, and is that how your whole house runs? No. On propane? No. It's just for that generator? Just for the pool and the generator and the fire pit and that's it. Oh interesting. So some homes right? Some homes like the like I think how often does the guy come out and fill out your propane tank? Whenever we need it to be filled. Is it once a year or twice a year? He's not on

a regular, he doesn't come once a month and check it or anything so we were without power for six days and our tank went from 85% Or 850 gallons I guess you could say To 65 so we could have we could make it like two or three more weeks. I guess if we had to And do you do any cutting back or anything or no three more weeks I guess if we had to. Oh that's odd. And do you do any cutting back or anything or no? Still doing the wash and dishwasher and running leaving lights on and the like using the fan

in the bathroom all that shit. No, Becca was pretty thrifty with that kind of stuff. She was okay. Yeah. Like we didn't run the pool pump for a week and I was just in the pool like cleaning out leaves and like scrubbing it because you know the Like when the pool pump doesn't run it just all the chemicals get out of balance. It's a saltwater pool So it was it's a mess right now. We're trying to get that cleaned up

You're in Spartanburg, South Carolina Yeah, so only about an hour away from Asheville where all the real damage happened in North Carolina Oh my god, like all the flooding and stuff only about an hour away from Asheville where all the real damage happened in North Carolina Oh my god, like all the flooding and stuff only about an hour away. Holy shit Your little forests didn't get flooded or anything Yeah, dude. I have huge trees down all all on the trail. No Did you see the planes fly overhead before that were guiding the Hurricane to destroy the town The government it's hurricanes how far are you from the water From the beach three hours like Myrtle Beach that how many hours

Myrtle Beach like four hours Charleston three hours. How many miles is that? Oh You're way inland in the Carolinas. Yeah, dude. I mean, I was, I've, we'd been trying, we'd been all talking about it. People who have lived here our whole lives, hurricanes just don't ever come this far inland ever. Like they, they hammer Charleston and that area and then they just stop. Like they're there.

They never, ever, ever come this far in. I saw the last one, the last big one was like 1916. So it was Hurricane Andrew and Hurricane Hugo were really, really like, like they hit the East coast really hard, like around where I'm from. And those are the ones I can remember as a kid that caused a lot of damage.

So like the beaches that we would go to. And then obviously, you know, Katrina was, was massive as far as damage goes. Oh, Asheville's in, oh, I didn't know Asheville was in Tennessee. It's not, it's in North Carolina. Oh, this isn't Tennessee up here. That's North Carolina. Charlotte is North Carolina. So it's see South Carolina kind of is really really close to oh Why does this have its own? Oh, okay. Okay. It's North Carolina. Okay. Sorry. Sorry. Sorry. I'm looking at the map all fucked up

Okay, so it's barely North Carolina. Yeah from like from where I live you can be in Georgia and two hours in Tennessee in An hour and a half and in North Carolina and you know 30 minutes Hey, why does why doesn't charlie get destroyed and easily and morgan ten and fuck easily? It easily got hit pretty hard. That's like I'm from Clemson, which is right below easily on the map and Power was out all through there for you know for days So a lot of those places got hit pretty hard, but yet Charlotte really didn't

Is it is it because Asheville's infrastructure is more susceptible to it or is it that the storm hit harder there? Asheville's infrastructure is more susceptible to it or is it that the storm hit harder there? Asheville is up in the mountains and the way I understand it, Will would probably be a better guy to ask, but a lot of the dams were losing their integrity and there were cracks in them and I think what they had to do is kind of let a lot of the water out Which caused all the flooding in that area. How about Augusta? Did Augusta get slammed? I don't think really anything in Georgia did That's Georgia. It's a trip that it's just this one. It's a trip

Yeah Um, I saw pictures of like just huge steel beams just bent. Yeah, it was, I mean, I saw, yeah, over a hundred miles an hour. A lot of the winds. Yeah, that's wild. But like my mother-in-law lives in Johnson City, Tennessee, and you have to pretty much go through Asheville to get there.

And she sent me and my wife a map of an estimation of when all those bridges were going to be repaired and it says March 2025. So there will be no direct route like from North Carolina to Tennessee along that major interstate for over a year. Oh my god and that's going to be like a decade until like the roads are finished. Like they're never paid. Was that a commuter's route? Yeah. Like for people who work in Charlotte and shit. So like Travis from Vindicate that's coming has to go through Atlanta now to get to Spartanburg for the competition he can't he can't take the route he normally would take like that's a major major interstate it's a major like i-20 like 26 to 20 is a is a major um

your travelers route, you know, truckers, everything. Fuck. Hey, it looked like, it looked like the most beautiful area I'd ever seen in my life, all the little lakes and it looked absolutely amazing. Have you ever been to Asheville vacation or anything? Yeah. I mean, we, I've been, I've been there a ton. It's a, it's a really, really pretty place, especially if you're not used to the mountains.

It's completely different. What happened to your gym? Anything? If I, at about 7 a.m., they told me that water was coming through the showers again. So like another flood situation possibility. Like coaches who were there? Yeah.

Cause they still ran the five and six AM. Like it wasn't supposed to hit hard until like nine AM and it was right on schedule. So I got a call that they were having some issues and really what was happening is we had some check valves put on our main lines coming out of the building from the previous flooding and made it to where, hey, if there's crazy amounts of rainwater, the water can't come back into our building. But when that happens, there's too much pressure coming back toward our building that our toilets can't flush, if that makes sense. So we have all the water coming back, but no water can get out.

So someone called me and said, hey, the toilets are starting to bubble and they're starting to be a little bit of water coming out of the showers again. And it was because, you know, one of the five and six a.m. people went to use the bathroom and it was already raining so much there was already enough rainwater coming back in our direction toward the building that the water couldn't escape. So I said, okay, cool.

The check valves will prevent any of that water coming in. Just turn the water off to the toilets for now. We'll stop using them. So I went to the gym and when I got there, the wind started howling, everyone started leaving. And I basically, all the power went out around eight. And I was in the gym from like eight to 12 by myself in the pitch dark with my iPhone, just mopping and ringing and mopping and ringing all the water coming in from the big bay doors

where like the wind was just blowing crazy amounts of water just under the cracks in the little, you know, it's a old building and the bay doors are old. So there's cracks and there's little places for the water to get in everywhere. So between the two bay doors, I was just back and forth fighting the water, just trying not to let it, you know, come in.

It was nuts. I mean, being in there by myself with nothing but the sound of the wind hitting the building and hitting the roof, I was just like, these doors are gonna get blown off. Like I was thinking to myself, like I went outside and filmed it at one time

to send to Pedro's son, because he really likes that kind of stuff. And I mean, I got in my truck and my truck was just wobbling side to side. Like that's how hard the wind was blowing. It was crazy. And then it went away. It was just, it was just like a cut. Like you sat there through the whole storm.

Yeah. And then like at 11, the sun just came out. It's the weirdest thing. Like it's the weirdest thing. Like it's the whole expression, like the calm, like the whatever, like it's always, it's always the worst right before, you know, it gets better like type thing.

It's true. I wonder if I have something like that at my house. Cause whenever it rains really hard, like it's like, you know, three or four days of just nonstop rain, which we've had the last couple years we've had more rain than I can remember my 52 years being around here all our water pressure goes down I wonder if we have something tied like to that all my water pressure goes down whenever the ground super duper moist. I wonder what that is.

I wonder if it's some sort of valve like that that we have. I don't know. Maybe so we, um, we got power back at the gym Monday night. So Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and then we got it back Monday. My daughter's school, my daughter's school still doesn't have power. There's still a ton of people in Spartanburg that don't have power. School doesn't have generators? That's a good question.

But the way it works here is schools are part of a district. So you have like district one, district two, district three, like we're district six. But we have three elementary schools or we have two high schools If none of if one of them doesn't have power then they don't the buses don't run They don't do any of that for the whole district So like Mike my six-year-old doesn't have school tomorrow for sure. They've already called us about that So there's still a lot of that sounds like a prison system That sounds like a prison system. Um, uh, why do they do that? If one school closes, they close them all down.

I really think it's because of the bus, because of the public transportation of the kids and stuff, because just leave those kids. Hey, do, do kids go on your, does your kid ride the school bus? No. I want, ride the school bus? No I want do does the school bus go to multiple schools? Meaning like could there be kids on my bus who go to a different school? Uh, I don't think I don't think so Yeah, it doesn't make sense to me. It sounds like something that's like, um, sounds like one of those weird things that's in contracts

like I was hearing like um I saw an article that the dock workers that went on strike, there's 50,000 of them were on strike, but there's only 25,000 dock workers. And it's a fascinating thing that the unions have have organized basically they have guaranteed what I didn't understand it completely but basically once you get a job there you're in you're basically in and the union protects you so even if there's not work for you even though there's only jobs for 25,000 people they have 50,000

people on the payroll so I shouldn't have waited in line at Sam's for three hours to get toilet paper the other day? No, you should have. Okay. Geez, really? You did that? Yeah. Thanks.

Why? Why? Why three hours? Because there were so many people there stocking up on supplies. Yeah, it wasn't three hours, but the amount of 70 plus individuals that were in there with their carts full of paper products. Oh my, I was, I was so angry being in there, but my wife was right. She was like, Hey, you have a competition coming up. You know how much

toilet paper you're going to go through. You don't need to be scrambling trying to look for toilet paper. Like that's going to be the worst possible scenario for you. You need to just go now with all these loonies going out there, buying all the eggs and all the, all the toilet paper and all, you know, what about, what about, um, Amazon? I guess you could. Yeah. I've never even considered or until it paper on Amazon. You don't order, do you order toilet paper on it? Do you get Amazon at the trailer park? Uh, Caleb?

Yeah, I'll get all orders. I'm going to have to order some, some skylights, but yeah, I can order stuff and usually gets here pretty quick. You don't get your toilet paper on Amazon? You don't have your toilet paper on subscription? No, I usually go to San- Not you. No, not you. Oh, okay. No, I just get it. You, wait, how do you not, you mean for your? You don't have your toilet paper on subscription. Jer? No, what subscriptions do you have for your house? I have no subscriptions on Amazon on prom I just order stuff when I need it Do you have any subscriptions Caleb for your at the Shadigan dried mango? That's it

If you have like five or more subscriptions I think you get like some sort of you get like five percent off on everything or something. Is that what you think? I save 30 cents per order and over the past five years it's at least five dollars I've saved. They do always ask me that that's interesting you say that because you know I'll go on to buy something It'll be like you could save five percent to check this box for a subscription I'm gonna look subscribe and say let me see I'm gonna show you what I use I'm gonna tell you what I have on subscription and Amazon

Use a passkey from another device Scan this QR code in the vice that has the passkey you want to use. Sorry, give me one second. Yeah, take your time. I think I had to reset my computer so all my passwords got erased. Follow the steps on your device. Continue. My Amazon shit is more secure than our nuclear arsenal I vitamins I vitamin C on subscription not like synthetic vitamin C but we get the expensive shit you know that's like actually comes from

it's extracted from plants you get the real ascorbic acid? Yeah that, yeah that. It's called Pure Synergy, Pure Radiance C. We get this stuff called drops and odor stain. It's the soap that my wife uses when she washes the clothes because she isn't like me using Tide Pods. We get Quilted Northern, although we just switched to some bamboo toilet paper. I'm trying it out. It's not bleached, and so there's nothing in there that'll lower my tea count. Bamboo toilet paper? Yeah. Dog food. We have dog food.

You're exfoliating your ass too, or what? We have some botanical soap for the kids. Um, we have a paper towels. You're all my you guys, you guys have you have to bring the boys here at some point. I don't care if it's a road trip. I don't care if you fly but like just come here stay at the house just for maybe a week or two just experience southern living i'm telling you it would be awesome oh we have the seaweed on subscription uh we have we have yeah like yeah for the kids like you know like uh you know those little things of seaweed and they eat the little strips yeah um i have uh baby wipes on subscription strips. Yeah. I have a baby wipes on subscription. There's no way you go through all of those so much that you have to get a new one every month. Well

you can choose how often you get them. Like I get baby wipes and I get one unit every two months. Pistachios. I have pistachios on subscription. Don't tell anyone that. It's a little embarrassing. Water filter for my coffee maker once every two months. How far away do you live from like a Costco, like a wholesale place like that? Close. Okay. So it's not like a convenience thing really.

Like you could easily go get the stuff. Recently, recently someone came over. I think it was like either Hiller or Taylor or someone was here and they had a Costco membership and they went to Costco. And that really kind of opened my eyes, my eyes, wife, my wife's eyes, my eyes, wife, my wife's eyes. Opened my wife's eyes to a Costco.

It's a glorious thing. I know I've been there once man I live in a town with pretty attractive people but Costco is not where you see them. I went there once with my dad like five or six months ago the boys had never been to a Costco they were fucking blown away they were like what the fuck. It's like a massive Walmart. What is Sam's Club? Is it just a ghetto version of Costco? A dirty version of Costco? It's Walmart's version of Costco. Yeah It is a little dirtier right in there. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, I would say I mean there's more dingy

It's like the pallets are have been used too many times We've had we've had memberships at both But it I think we've switched back and forth depending on the things you can get at one that you can't get the other. Like there's really good dried mango at Costco that you, like Sam's has never ever ever sold. And so we had like Costco membership because we could get specific things. And now we have a Sam's membership because there's things that we can get at Sam's that we can't get at Costco. Sam's upselling C4. And so I think I's that we can't get a Costco. Yeah, Sam's up selling c4 And so I think I'm gonna have to get a Costco membership. It's kind of sad

All they have is rain now So so am I used to have dried mango on Amazon I Used to have it on subscription, but I was eating too much. Hey, have you ever seen this dried mango? My kids don't like it But it's fucking crazy. It's this dried mango? My kids don't like it, but it's fucking crazy. It's the dried mango that's cut like, it's cut different. It's cut in these like, they look like tacos. Have you seen this cut? And it's softer. That's the kind that Caleb, yeah, that's the black bag kind at Costco. Oh, really?

Like the Kirkland brand usually is that cut like that also? This is the cut of the one that I cracked my front tooth on so be careful of the one be careful They're really really dried pieces at the bottom of the bag. Yeah, but the Kirkland one that Hillary got when we were at the NorCal classic it wasn't like this These are like each piece is like individuals like the Kirkland one They're all stuck together and they're like strips and you pull it out and it's like fucking three pounds comes out Thank you put one little piece and the whole bag comes out Anyway, this shit's good this shit's fucking expensive as fuck though

Three pound bag that's pretty good though. I'm trying to think if that was the if that was the brand Oh, this is the this is the Kirkland brand, right? Yep Yeah Hiller bought a bag of that at NorCal I think I ate 80% of it Wow look at this only has a three and a half start four and a half star rating What the fuck? I? Ordered this product several times was happy enough that I bought four bags at once which is sizable investment fucking god we live

with poor people in each bag 85% of mangoes were so unripe when they were dry they were smelled awful the bag mango is almost all discolored and brown these are terrible picture show I've never gotten a bad bag of mangoes. Have you? Never Look what they serve me up on amazon Oh, what is this Wireless hdmi transmitter receiver. Hey will do we need this? Yeah. Yeah, that's exactly what I was thinking That's exactly what I was thinking. What the fuck is this?

Sending this to will right now. What is that? Wow Um is crash ready to go? Are there any concerns? Is there any are there any more storms coming in? Did anything get is any of the infrastructure at a? CrossFit crash get fucked up. I mean I was told that there was another there was another hurricane that was scheduled to hit uh next weekend but the forecast is like completely sunny from now until the competition and it has never not rained the weekend of Crucible so I'm not I'm not at all believing what the weather is saying.

I'm not at all believing what the weather is saying. I prepared the worst the the Homeland Security guy What's it my orcas that little fucking beta fucking weasel I used to fuck his wife by the way It uh, he said another hurricanes eminent mm-hmm Kids at home all week last week kids probably at home all week this week Tyler Watkins arriving today Oh, why is he coming early push him off? Is he gonna be a problem? Is he hiding gonna be high? Yes, you really want to know why he's coming? I love you, Tyler. Yeah. Tell me. Tyler said, he's fighting with his wife. A few months ago, he was like, Hey man,

I'm really interested to see how you like balance the gym and the kids and how you do all that. Like, I kind of want to see like, Oh, and I said, that's cool, man. Come shadow me whenever you want. And so I think he, he wanted to come a little buzz. Like this is an interesting week to come, but man, I'm going to make you want to go get that vasectomy buddy. Oh, awesome. Yeah.

Hey, did you guys know? Hey, he's, hey, he's already committed. So like, he's, he's going to be like, Hey, grab a kid, dude. Hey, hold Tyler's hand. Let's go time Did you know his wife is pregnant? Yes, did he tell us all that I? Don't know you just did though Well, I was just talking to him the other day on the phone and he told me and I was like did I know that?

Is that a secret? hope not It's gonna be great's going to be great. It's going to be great to watch him swing to the conservative side now. Oh, you got a daughter coming. Okay. Let's see how you feel about boys in the girls bathroom now. He's uh, he's going to be a big help though.

I think just because there's a lot of things for the competition that like I can't do until Wednesday or Thursday because classes still run and what's really cool is when people start rolling in on Tuesday and Wednesday just people getting here early for travel they'll just come in there and start you know they'll be on a foam roller for an hour doing whatever because they're they don't have anything else to do my members are all still training around them like Like they don't care. Oh, you're here for the competition. Cool. Move out of the way. I need that. Roar. Those two days you didn't have power. Did you still run the gym?

No, it was, I had, I invited people over at the house to use the barn to just work out if they wanted to on Saturday and Sunday and people came. Why didn't you let people still work out in the gym? It's just too dark. Yeah. All the emergency lights, I guess, cut off in 24 hours. I guess that's how those things work.

Like, um, for industrial buildings. So there were some lights in the bathroom and there was like one or two lights on the main floor, but you could see nothing. And I needed the power to get the bay doors open without doing that manually. So I couldn't use the natural light. So if I could have done that, they, people could have still trained. Your bay doors are motorized. That's bougie.

No, it's not. Not if you, not if you saw them. Cause they're so huge. They're just, I mean, I need to get both of them replaced. That's going to be an insurance claim though. Cause the wind was the wind The wind was crazy like it blew one of them off the tracks on one side. It was crazy Is it just do you need special openers for bay doors?

Or is it just like my garage doors just like you push the button and the chain starts turning and yeah, yeah It's yeah, it's similar to that Hey do people in North Carolina still have doors that open like this oh I don't know Do you have any doors open like that like the old-school kind? You know where it's like the wooden door it's all wobbly and shit and it's like I Haven't seen any in like around our industrial part that has Lifted about your neighborhood. I about just like the regular Dennis house?

No. No. No. Darn. Because that's some ghetto shit. Is everything out about Crash? Yeah. Like the schedule, the workouts, all that stuff.

Yeah, we sent the heat schedule to all the athletes last yesterday and how many and how many athletes are coming? Um a little I'll probably ask you all this again on monday or tuesday whenever our show is tomorrow Yeah, a little under 100. So there's like uh There's like 15 masters competitors on the male and female side and then there are I think 28 individuals coming male and female side. And then there are, I think, 28 individuals coming, male and female. Oh, this is last year, nevermind. Yeah.

Do you already, is there anyone who's already like, you know they're gonna win? Is there anyone coming, you know, like at Colton will go to like to some podunk event, like where there's a thousand dollars prize money winning. Is there anyone like that coming on the man or the women's side? Like someone who's just a shoe in to win. Yeah, I guess I know for sure

It's not like that on the men's side, but on the women's no no no I don't think so. I don't think so at least but I I Really don't Have an opinion on who's gonna win. Like I try to kind of look at it just from a standpoint of hey, let me put some workouts together that I think are really hard and that the fittest person that's coming is gonna win.

But because of the style of some of the workouts, I have, and the fact that there were we use a crazy scoring method that no one with half a brain would want to use. I really don't I really don't know who is gonna who is gonna win. Do you feel obligated to use that scoring method because Tyler's your friend and he's coming? Like oh fuck okay. Grandma's gonna be here. No I know I kind of I kind of want to do it at this point because it's just something else that makes it a little bit more unique

from other competitions. Like I kind of just want to lean into the fact that it's a scoring table that a lot of people don't even understand and it's like, it's just something that makes it different from anything else. How many workouts are there? Seven.

So two, two, three? Two, three, two. Two, three, two. Hey, by that I mean like, if Tia were showing, I guess it depends, by that what I mean is will there be a dominant athlete there, meaning either you would have a bunch of like semi-final athletes and just one games athlete or if

just someone crazy dominant showed up. But it's a pretty good mixture, right? Wouldn't you say crash is like, isn't there some weird stat around crash like every year that the person who's won it's gone to the games or something like that. Someone has made it to the games for their first time, like their rookie year after podiuming at crash. So like, for instance, it's like, for instance, Caroline Stanley finished second in 2020. She made the games last year individually. Oh, not the same year. Not always in the same

year, but a lot of them have like Luke Parker won in October of 2022. And then he qualified for the games in 2023. Like, you know, Austin Hatfield won it last year and then he qualified for his rookie year this past year. So there have been some situations like that. How many years has crash been going on? This is the fifth. Do you remember? Do you even remember why you started it?

Yeah, because we we we opened up the facility facility we're in now in 2020. And all those sanctionals were getting canceled because of COVID. So like Jason's first semifinals should have been in Canada at Atlas Games. And that was the one they all went to, flew in, went for the briefing, and then they told him there that it was going to be cancelled so like that there were some that were being cancelled like as athletes were already there getting ready to compete so all those all i heard you say was jason's vaccinated that's all i heard everything else i just blocked out uh i don't think that's true. If he went to Canada, if he went to Atlas Games, worried about his heart.

No, okay. No, that was the year that you just got placed at whatever sanctionals. So you just got sent to one. Yeah. But did he fly there? Did he go? Yeah, I think he was there and then like when he was there, he got

told, no, you can't compete. You don't think so, Caleb? You don't think he had? No, because that was when everything started. That was like literally the day that they got told, like, Hey, everything shut down was the day that Atlas was supposed to start. Okay. And then that was before that was before operation warp speed was in effect.

And thank you, Trump for vaccinating our country. Thank you for your service. I had to say it before someone else said it. So so you did it as a as a so you were inspired to do it because there was a shortage of competitions and you're like, fuck it, I'll throw one. 100 percent. And that's absolutely why I did it. I reached out to to Berman and was like hey all these dudes like

Do you guys want to do something and they were like all anyone wants to do is compete right now? but none of us can and I said hey, we'll just like text all the dudes, you know and Tell them I'm gonna do something in October and It's gonna be laid out and it's gonna be you know as good a money as I can put up but it's gonna be laid out and it's gonna be you know as good a money as I can put up but it's gonna be laid out just like just like a sanction or a regional as far as like the floor goes the workouts will be good you know I know all you guys just want to just want to get around people that good and compete and so he kind of helped me just to spread the word. And then obviously like Jason was living like an hour away and his coach reached out to me and said,

Hey, I know you've probably never heard of this guy, but he's he's going to be really good. He was supposed to go to Atlas Games and then Taylor. I don't think Taylor reached out to me, but Berman and Jason said, Hey, we just competed against Josh Miller and this guy, Taylor self in Myrtle beach, like a month before he finished high, you should get him. And so, yeah, I just kind of got on my phone and just started recruiting. Honestly. So you didn't know Taylor and Hopper in 2020.

No. God damn. So much shit has happened in the last. So you didn't know Taylor and hopper in 2020? No God damn so much shit has happened in the last that's why that's why Taylor tells that story of me putting him in heat one And him crushing that first workout and him being so angry that he was in heat one But I didn't I had no idea who he was. Yeah Yeah, thank you Taylor or. Who the fuck are you, dude? Yeah. Thank you, Taylor. Who the, or Caleb, who the fuck are you? Wow. Um, uh, that's, that's fucking wild. I, I, I met them for the first time when they, when they came to compete.

I thought you guys had been friends. I don't know what I thought. I just assumed that no, every, I, I always, when I, I always just assumed I was an outsider, like I was the new friend No, it's just kind of Yeah, the stars kind of all aligned and everything everything Everything happened after that that was like it made it seem as though we we kind of all knew each other the whole time But that's that's not the case.

A lot of the guys that came to Crucible in 2020, I had known or maybe known their coaches, but Taylor and Jason were not one of those. Hey, let me go back to the storm here real quick. Romo, I was watching a video about the Asheville damages and some guy commented to not believe what we hear in the news. The news says that there's a thousand people missing. A friend of mine who said, who works for the government said that they had ordered a thousand

body bags. But I've been watching some YouTube videos of people on the ground and they're saying that the news is pretty accurate. Do you have any thoughts on that? What you're saying that the news is pretty accurate. You have any thoughts on that? What you're hearing? What, what are people like people on people in the hood? What they're saying? I have members that have family members that are in that area that they like drove up there to try to take resources and stuff too. And they've all said, yeah, dude, you could just walk down the river and just see like bodies in some spots that are just kind of piled up.

Wow. Like where the water is like just washing shit aside. Yep. So I don't think, I don't think thousands especially initially is is embellishment at all. Holy shit. There's just a ton of people not accounted for. Okay. So they might, they might be okay. At this point, I don't think they're okay. Damn. I wonder if we'll ever get a truthful report on that Um So so you do the first event and was the first event good?

Has crashed been good every year or there's it was there every year I think I think though it was an absolute cluster that first year looking back on it They had you ever thrown a competition before no So you just did it you did it and like were you like, oh, any like huge gaps where you were like, oh fuck, I forgot to get judges? No, no. I let way too many people compete. Like I had teams, I had like some community division teams.

I was doing, I did teams of two and individuals. I had two floors going almost the whole time. So like I had an event going on the turf and an event going on the main floor a lot of the time. I was trying to run two clocks at the same time. I just, I just over committed as far as how many people I could let. I didn't anticipate that many people wanting to come But like everybody just wanted to do a competition No matter what level because everything was being canceled everywhere and I was like, well, I'll do it So and did the cops fuck with you that first year? No second year

No, the cops ever fucked with you. No, the only thing The only thing that's happened for the competition in the spring, which is the four person competition, which will have way more competitors, is parking, right? So some of my neighbors, that will get a little bit angry about all the parking. But 90% of them don't operate on the weekends anyway. So it's just ones that just want to complain about something. Um, so if there's a hundred competitors, does everyone show up with two people? So there'll be 300 people in your gym.

You would think that's how it would happen, but last year it was pretty cool. Like it was, uh, there were enough people in there to, to be loud and for it to be fun, but not at all, not at all packed. And with it being streamed, I think that helps helps as in keeps there from being like the fire marshal called because of how many people are here. But it's it's it's interesting you would think that the big name people, that people follow on Instagram would bring all the spectators out, but really it's more the, it's more the, hey I know them, they're in my five o'clock class that brings people out.

It's interesting. The community feel events get way more local spectators than the elite How many people from your gym of the hundred are competing or crash? members to competitors only two mm-hmm Is that surprising No It's just the level of competition just keeps getting better and better is this and is this the best level ever? Yeah for sure all around yeah competition just keeps getting better and better. Is this and is this the best level ever? Yeah for sure all around yeah. Do you think you'll do it again next year? Absolutely. It's not overwhelming to you? You're not like if I asked you, because the day after like, I already have 90% of 2025 done. Because this time, like the two weeks before

and the two weeks after, are when like all I'm thinking about is that. So all the stuff that I know I probably should have done this year that I didn't, I'll just do it next year. Well, only what? What? Go ahead. Sorry, Caleb.

Do you have like the programming in mind for next year already? Yeah, that's done for next year. Oh, wow. Holy shit, dude. Hey, where would I find the crash crucible list of athletes on the Instagram? Um, I will send it to you. Is it published anywhere? The link is available.

Oh, it is Mark Hutchinson, the guy I was talking about yesterday. Is he coming back? Yeah, he'll be doing Masters. Oh, he does. Did he do individual last year? No, he was Masters last year. He won Masters last year. Is it, is Angelo coming? Uh, yeah, he is going to be here.

I don't think he gets here until like Saturday. He said he's competing. No, he's just coming to hang out. Cause there's several mayhem people that are coming. And Sam, Sam Stewart's competing. Yep I recognize more of these people. Oh shit. Chrissy Barra is coming What about the girl what about that Lydia Fish girl, yeah, she's coming how old she she's like 20 Yeah, that sounds right. Yeah, who's the girl who didn't do the interview at quarterfinals? Who's it How old is she? She's like 20? Yeah, that sounds right. Yeah.

Who's the girl who didn't do the interview at quarterfinals? Who is that? That didn't do the interview? She went to the parking lot. Lindsay Lane. Oh, is she going to be there? Yeah, she's coming. Oh, okay.

I see her. She had to go to work or something. Oh shit. Ellie Hiller is gonna be there This can be yeah, but she she just withdrew actually for an injury. That's all that sucks. And that's sad She's fucking smoking. Oh and the winner of the NorCal is gonna be there that and I'm trying to get her on the I'm trying to get her on the

on the show this week Who is that? Elizabeth Wishheart, she won NorCal cool She's skinny She's never I've never seen her in person she's skinny I mean I saw her in person at Simi's but I've never like spoken to her and got really close at semis but I've never like spoken to her and gotten really close and fees agaffia Olivia Kerstetter fuck Carolyn Prevost ag if Carolyn Stanley is gonna

be there too yep dude this is gonna the women's class is stacked Kyra Milligan right yes so Kyra and Caroline are the two games athletes that competed individually this year, but then Olivia and Fee and Caroline have all competed individually at the games. So five is is the most by far of any year I've done it. Hey has Kerstetter ever competed there before? No. Do you um, what's the word I'm looking for? Recruit? that, is that, I'm not sure if I'm using that word right. Do you recruit any of these people? Yeah.

What's that look like? You just call them like you're like, you just text Olivia or call her and be like, Hey girl, uh, this is a hundred miles from your house. Let's roll. So Olivia, uh, was supposed to come and do crescendo last year on a team with like Nate, Nate Ackerman and Daniel Coots like just like a young group of individual Athletes and then after quarterfinals, I think they had some some nagging injuries and their coaches were like hey you

You don't need to go and do that competition against like games level teams. It's not just a for fun thing I think you need to just wait and Train for semi-finals, so she ended up not coming games level teams. It's not just a for fun thing. I think you need to just wait and train for semifinals. So she ended up not coming last year, but her, you know, she's there with Jacob Hepner training with that group of like Justin Rhodes, Chris Ibarra. That's kind of like, yeah, like he trains around that group a lot. And Steven Tackett was a member at Crash and helps to coach like on site, like Chris and Olivia and all of them.

So he was the one that kind of nudged Chris and Olivia, like, hey, you guys need to do Crucible. Last year, Chris was gonna do it, but he ended up doing, I think, like Desert City out in Arizona, which is really, really close to Crucible. Instead of coming to Crash, and then leading up to this year, Steven already told me that Chris was committing. So no matter what happens, if he makes the games or not, he knows he wants to do crash. So he stayed true to that.

Hey, how come you only have the girls? You don't have the... You don't have the dudes really? I do. Not really. What do you mean? Oh, yeah, you do. Sorry, you do. Sorry, you're right. I'm wrong. Nick Matthew, Colt Mertens, Chris Sibara. No Taylor. You don't Sorry. You're right. I'm wrong. Nick Matthew Colt Merton's Chris Sibara

No, Taylor. You don't got a picture. Is James Fray coming? Taylor's up there. He is Yeah, that's actually really cool. That's a really cool picture that that Peter made I think just him from the back with his arm up in the air at semis. That's a cool Oh Peter makes all these pictures. Mm-hmm. Well that shirt he's wearing is fucking awesome Oh Peter makes all these pictures. Mm-hmm. Well that shirt he's wearing is fucking awesome Yeah, what's really cool is like look look how many west coast guys are coming But it's it's like all the east coast women and all the west coast men from this as far as the semi-finals go

It's really interesting like tristan harrison chris Ibarra, Mike Evans, Justin Rhodes, so many guys from the West are coming to compete which is cool. I mean Olivia's coming but like it's mostly a ton of East Coast women and West Coast men. Oh this guy fucking Mathias is coming this guy one kill Taylor. Yep, and he he competed so I think Taylor would probably remember more in 2021 when Taylor won Crucible Matthias I think was in first place after day one and everyone was like who is this Matthias Porter guy? like I didn't know who he was at all and

Yeah, he's cool. I've stayed in touch with him over the years. I'm glad he's coming back. I'd do the stud. I think it's really healthy that I didn't notice any of the men. Just to prove you're not gay or what? I don't know. I don't know, but I just like it. I think it says something about my character.

I don't know who this, I don't know if I recognize this girl. Marilyn, Helen Saunders. I guess we could look at these people tomorrow. She looks young. Hey, do they have to qualify? How do you know who gets in? So what I tried to do this year is top 20 from semi-finals who didn't qualify for the games or who did qualify for the games, they can come by invite or if you're a previous games individual athlete. So Mark Kwan has competed every single year, Mark Kwan Jones.

He decided not to this year, but he's competed individually at the game. So his invite would still stand. Sam Stewart, I don't think he competed at semifinals last year, but he's made the games individually. So I was like, yeah, come on. Like you've competed at the games individually.

Like I want as many of those people as possible. So those were kind of the two ways. And then if you podiumed at Crucible last year and you didn't fit those molds. So like for the guys, Austin, Colton, Jack Rosema. Well, they all made the games, but if one of them maybe was injured and they couldn't compete this past year, I would still say, yeah, you can come compete because you podiumed

last year. So it's a way I try to keep the previous year's people in mind. But at this point, I don't think there's going to be many people that don't fit into one of those categories that win Crucible, like games athletes or top 20 semi-finals athletes. Did you send Phil to any, uh, uh, invite? No. I got distracted. I went over to Ellie Hiller's Instagram account. What a shame she's not competing.

Oh, she plays tennis. However, have we had her on the show? Yeah, I don't know about that. What the fuck's wrong with me? She's awesome, dude. She talks. She would be a great person to have on. Yeah, she is awesome. Has she made it to the games?

Nope. Hey, no Jack Rosamond or no Austin Hatfield. I wonder why they're not coming. Austin, I tried to talk Austin into it and he said he took a really, really hard month off like after the games and he wasn't doing anything. And I even asked him about trying to qualify for Rogue if he didn't get an invite and he's like, dude, there's no way I could qualify right now. I'm if he didn't get an invite and he's like dude there's no way I could qualify right now I've I'm not I haven't been working out so too much sour cream on that on those rabbit tacos I guess so yeah so and then uh Jack was in this so I reached out to Jack and James hold on sorry sorry uh he's a pussy oh okay so it's not that he's out of shape. He's a pussy. Sorry. Don't mischaracterize him

Jer he's not even a real farmer. Yeah, it's interesting. It's interesting call them used as an adjective I Thought it works, I guess I thought he's using this a noun I Mean what do you expect from Colton? He fucking harvests pig. This dude, so that's no, so that Colton coming is really interesting. I was talking to my wife about this last night and uh Was talking about how a lot of athletes Their their insecurity show leading up to a competition where they start to get a little bit edgy

You know, they start to maybe you know, they start to maybe, you know, they start to ask you about about movements in the competition. It's like, well, well, how does this feel compared to this and how that but like Colton doesn't ask me any of that stuff. He just shows up and just is like, okay. Yeah, that's what it is. Okay, cool. It's just it's it's interesting how he goes about That's what it is. Okay, cool. It's just it's it's interesting how he goes about Accepting the task at hand and not trying to like get information or I

Don't know it's a He operates in a way that I wish competitors would operate more And no Jason Hopper? No, he actually asked me after the fact if he could compete and he was, he was talking to his wife about it and his wife was saying no and he was like, hey, will you help me settle this? If I wanted to compete, would you compete? Would you let me? I said no and he didn't respond. Because I told him the workouts before everyone else knew him. I'm not letting him compete if he knew that information prior to. Obviously, honestly, I do think if you're going to rogue,

unless you're just really firm like Colton fits this, he just doesn't care. Like he wants to compete. He's not worried about getting injured. He's not. It just that doesn't matter to him. But for a lot of people I would like let's say Taylor did do the Rogue Qualifier and he didn't do NorCal and he qualified for Rogue. That's an extra, that's a really, really, really prestigious earning opportunity that he has as far as money goes. And I would be like, hey dude,

I mean, Crash is really close to that. Is it worth it to come here and compete for six grand where you can finish last and compete and make six grand at Rogue? You know, like it is something to think about. For Jason? Yeah, for anyone that's going there. rogue you know like it is something to think about for for for for for Jason yeah for anyone that's going there I'm trying to someone said Ellie was on the show but I don't know it's it's Ellie Turner that's the that's the one she's

talking about Ellie Turner's five-year transformation oh wrong Ellie oh yeah yeah yeah yeah that was two years ago though that's crazy I wonder if she'd come back on the show I wonder if I burned that bridge no no you could get her back for sure Justin's Justin's wife yeah all right I'll send her an invite shoot your shot brother yeah that's good thank you you got your great height man Yeah, definitely. Alright, I'll send her an invite. Shoot your shot, brother. Yeah, that's good, thank you. God, you're a great hype man. Can anyone come to Crash? To watch? Yeah.

It's fine? It's fine. And are there places to sit? I don't think we'll do bleachers this year. I think it'll just be standing So if you want to sit you can sit on the ground. Yeah, just like a regular person Nothing special. Oh, what about vendors? Will there be like food there? Yeah, we'll have a couple food vendors will we have

a couple food vendors will only have two apparel vendors. I really try to make it for crucible where the vendors that come really do well because at crucible this is the way it's been explained to me. Elite athletes aren't used to buying anything. They're used to having people give them stuff. Right. So unless you have a ton of spectators, there's not a whole lot going on with the vendors. So having like, it's a kind of a unique competition and that if you have a ton of vendors, but there's only a hundred competitors,

like even if like you said, they only bring two or three people each, that's not that much traffic. But like in the spring, we have all those community divisions. You know, they're gonna all come out there and hang out with the vendors, but then also they're going to bring a bunch of fans

from their gyms and stuff that will come and hang out all weekend so um ellie hillers on the glint podcast a lot yeah that makes sense they like hot chicks too that's why i like them so much. We have so much in common. JR needs a hype man. Oh crap, my bad. No worries. You inspired me to invite Ellie back on. All right, so it starts Friday and I'm looking at this schedule. I guess this week there'll be all sorts of shows. I guess we'll have to do a pre-show. I guess tomorrow we'll talk about it. I guess we'll have to do a pre-show Thursday night.

And then, God, have you seen Will much lately? No, we've talked a lot though. Is he feeling confident about the setup? Yeah. Yeah. And then, uh, Sue's is coming up. Go ahead. No, I was going to ask you, probably shouldn't ask you this live.

We're definitely going to, are you sure you want to text it to me? No, I'll ask you this live. We're definitely gonna... Wait, wait, wait. Are you sure you want to text it to me? No, I'll ask you. I'm joking. I definitely want to put... We know John and Bill will be calling the final two heats of Men and Women all week and long. Yeah. A lot of people are asking me,

Hey, will you just leave some cameras fixed so we can watch the other heats? Oh, and just like leave the leave the chat on or whatever Does that does that hurt the algorithm when when you do that and you don't like go live for like short periods and then go Away and then come back and then go away and then come back. I don't know but I don't care. That's fine That's cool. We'll just start and we can just start new feeds That's what I mean. Like is it yeah, like you just have like a heats One through four and like hey these cameras are just fixed and you can watch you can watch whoever compete There's not gonna be any commentary

But then we cut the stream off and then we start a new one right before we do the commentary heats Yeah, that's that's fine. I love that. Um Let me just ask you this though real quick Speaking of stuff I shouldn't say on air. So we're doing if there's so for every workout we'll do for he for Yep for every workout will do four heats two women and two men. Mm-hmm. That's the plan, yeah. And how many people in the heat? Only like six. Okay, and then I guess if shit gets crazy, like if on day two for some reason,

Colton shits the bed on day one and he gets thrown down into heat three, we'll just make an audible and we'll cover that one too. Like if someone great goes down there, you know what I mean? Yeah, I think John and Bill are prepared to like do a ton more. And I said, no, I want like, I want seven on, I want you guys, I want all the crew that's here to be able to actually hang out and enjoy it and not just be like

eight hours straight because you're not going to have any energy energy or any any juice for the big heats if we do it That way. Yeah, so I kind of push back against them and said nah I want I want you guys to like be able to hang out and do stuff And I think the final two heats are what people want to see so that still is 28 Workouts will be covering. If there's seven workouts and we're gonna cover four, yeah, like you would have a thumbnail that says,

event one, men, and that would be, you know, that would be a whatever, 30 minutes, 40 minute, whatever. And then you do the same thing for the women times seven. That's what you're saying, right? I do 28 28 chunks. Let me ask you. Do you reseed them after every event? We read see them after each day and then on the final day We'll do it after the first event before the last one. So on Friday Those heats are set and then however they finish on Friday That will determine Saturday's heats and then I wanted to try it. I'm not stuck to this. I'm just proposing

I wonder if on Friday if we cover more heats and Then on Thursday and Friday or if Saturday and Sunday cut it down worth just thinking about I'm I'm cool to do that if you guys want you get what I'm saying that way in case someone gets placed in the ass He we still at least get to We get to figure it out.

Who is that? Melonza Haynes. Oh, I remember that girl. This chick, is she going to be there? No, Ariel Sanders. Yeah, she was fucking amazing. Why isn't she coming? Why aren't- do people tell you why they're not coming?

Uh, she did the qualifier. She just didn't qualify this year. Oh. My goal for creating Crucible originally was just to give another opportunity for competition. I knew it was going to look good. I knew I could make the programming like... Oh wait, where did JR go? I think he had to go pick up his kids or something. What are you laughing at? At JR? Yes.

He's so distinguished there. He should grow the beard back. I have that sweatshirt. What a semi-final or maybe even like some things that a lot of athletes wouldn't get to do until they got to the games. But maybe because of that initial vision, it's been able to become a proving grounds because you see people that come to Crucible do well. Either immediately move on to make the jumps of the games the next year or in one or two years for people to say it's a proving ground. Like really they're just complimenting the competitors that come because if Luke comes two years ago and wins or if Jason comes three years ago and wins and the competitive field isn't good enough like the the notoriety that the competition

gets isn't there because the field isn't strong so if Jason comes and he beats a bunch of people who have never done anything in the space it doesn't mean a whole lot like oh yeah he just went to a local competition and he beats a bunch of people who have never done anything in the space, it doesn't mean a whole lot. Like, oh, yeah, he just went to a local competition and he won. No one really knows who he is. He goes to the Mac and he wins. Great. But because he came and beat so many seasoned competitors, the competition got a little bit of talk. And that way leading in the competitions like the Mac, analysts like Brian Friend, who reached out to me and said, hey, who is this kid? He beat all these people.

There has to be a reason. How does JR ask the dude to cut his hair? Shave it really short, but leave one little tuft on the top. Is that a mohawk? Does JR have a mohawk? No, it's just that one. It's just the front tuft is a little longer. He's giving

mad scientists right now. It's the opposite of um, it's the opposite of Hare Krishna dudes. Don't they have like just like the tough on the back? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. If he didn't beat all those people, he wouldn't be asking. What people that usually come to Crucible and do well have done is yeah, they do their- I don't think he can look real. Huh? He doesn't look real. He looks like a, yeah, he looks kinda AI.

Yeah. I wonder what that's like looking like that. I wonder if people come up and touch his face. Ha ha ha ha. Homework and they know the workouts that I've programmed before, but they also understand that, Hey, even though this isn't the games, there may be some games elements that show up just because, um, the field is really, really strong. Doesn't mean that everything is going to be heavy.

Right? So I think that general fitness is what you need to excel, but more so I think the boundaries maybe is where people that do well at Crucible could spend more time. Really, really high level skills, heavy loads under fatigue, not traditionally the way things are tested

fuck rick jones is good that was fucking oh let's watch this p diddy video now what did i miss the famous p diddy lube bed The famous P Diddy lube bed That's what we're moving into Wow 25 minutes on the lube bed. That's crazy. When was that posted? Oh nine days ago Man oh man. Oh, there's someone in that bed. Is that person wearing a coffee pods and wad shirt? Hey, do they make a bed that's larger than a king size? I need that bed.

Yeah, they make one the size of a basketball court. I don't need it that big. I don't have a place for that one. Oh, it's lube ditty. Yeah, the next one's a California. California king. Yeah, that's what I have, I think. Wait, no, I have the wide one. What's the wide one? I have the wide one. I will what's the wide one? I have the wide one. What do I have? Is that what it's called a Wyoming?

It's wider than a California There's one that's long for tall people and then there's one that's wide I have the wide one a super Caesar What what bed do you have JR to the king What bed do you have JR? It's the King. Hey, did you sleep on a piece of foam, Caleb, since you're in a motorhome? Hell yeah, dude. A three inch mattress pad.

Wow, a Wyoming King. I just need my bed to be wider not it definitely doesn't need to be longer Wow look at those beds a family XL 144 by 84 Was that told you know any couples who sleep in something smaller than a king? I could not sleep in a fucking bed smaller than a king. Me and my wife. What do you guys sleep in? Like a queen.

Wow. Holy shit. And we're twice your size. Yeah you need a queen just for yourself. Yeah when she comes to visit it's real tight in the RV. Seve sleeps on a fool and calls it a king. All right. Are we going through the workouts tomorrow?

I think so. I think you said Tyler's gonna come on maybe? Yeah, should we have John come on too so we can see watch John and Tyler fight? Yeah, that'd be good. I'll send a note now. Do we have a time for that? Nope. John, Tyler, I wonder if we should have Bill come on too. I'll invite Bill, he won't be able to.

Why isn't Taylor... Go ahead. No, that is a good question. So I asked Taylor the other day, I said, dude, why when you get in NorCal, you can do recap shows and talk about the competition after every single event, but you don't want to, you don't want to come on any shows for Crucible. Why, why are you so tight? What's the, what's going on?

Oh, he's making the choice not to come on tomorrow. It's not, it's not like he said, I'm not going on any of those shows. I'm not going on any of those Crucible shows. Oh, he has to come on the nighttime shows though. I would hope so. Yeah, he's got the nighttime shows are where it fucking gets crazy. We didn't even talk about working out. I'm about to ask you something really crazy, JR.

Okay. You weren't at NorCal, were you? Nope. Oh, good. Awesome. It's like, fuck, were you? Nope. Oh good. Awesome. It's like, fuck, I don't remember JR being there. I'm very happy to say you missed out big time. Whatever I'm going to miss out this weekend, you fucking definitely missed out at NorCal. Fuck you missed out. God, I'm so glad you weren't there, Swyte, because misery loves company.

Everyone says Crucible is pretty tight, like tight, like uh, serious stuffy. I think Taylor, I think that's why Taylor really liked Norcal. Because he didn't feel that same angst. It was like um... Dude, he was fucking so uptight at the competition. Like a thousand times more uptight than Colton. Don't, like at home it was chill. He was more uptight than Colton. Don't like at home it was chill. He was fucking uptight at the comp.

Yeah, I think because of the style of the way they run it, which I think is really cool. Like when I was asking him about it, he said, yeah, dude, you just have a start time. And if you're not there, you just don't do the event. If you're not there and ready, we're like 30 minutes before they have to check in at the table in the warm up room and say, Colton Mertens, I'm here for event one. I say, okay, thanks. Cool. And then 10 minutes before they get corralled in the hallway and then like they wait in the hallway and then they get brought out. Like it's more, there's more opportunity to be nervous and stressed and all that kind of stuff.

But, but, dude, we would show, before every workout, Colton and Taylor would walk over to a table that was like, not close to, I mean, not, not, not adjacent to the workout floor. They would, they would walk over to a table. I don't know, that was 40 yards away, 30 yards away from the workout. They would check would check in and then 10 minutes before they would go in the crowd, too I think it was the same I mean you had to walk through the crowd and shit and they were fucking also and when I say crowd I mean they had fucking 800 athletes there, right? 838 or whatever they had Yeah, I'm sure it was a tongue but dude Taylor was fucking like there was a there was

But dude, Taylor was fucking like there was a there was So the floor was here and then the warm-up area was then there were some bleachers and then the warm-up area was here and then we waited up on a on a berm that was 50 feet away from the warm-up area and 50 feet away was like a triangle and 50 feet away from the workout area There was a workout Where Taylor just walked from the berm to the warm-up area to the berm. Like he would be at the berm, he would walk down, do one clean, walk back up to the berm, walk back down, do one clean, walk to the bathroom, walk back down to the berm, walk back up to where we...

I mean, it was fucking nuts. He's... I mean, he was fucking going bonkers, dude. And he doesn't talk to anyone and he walks around everywhere like he's ready to fight someone. He just faces Yeah, he faces. He's not like just he's not he's not I mean he's it's a it's a chill storm. He's chill He walks slow methodical or like if like

He's he's wound fucking tight Mm-hmm tight Yeah There was this, um, there was this one morning we get there to the venue. We park like assholes, right? We park right up in the front where the staff are supposed to park. And if there's not a parking spot, we just make one.

And the parking lot's full, but like we, Taylor would just, we were just, he would just pick anywhere he wanted to park just right next to to the the field of play, right? Parked our big SUV there. We all fucking pile out of the car and Taylor's like him and go to the bathroom So there's fucking like eight of us standing there and he walks away to take a piss And we're all standing around there like assholes holding our cameras and shit And then all of a sudden we look and Taylor's already in the warm-up area work warming up warming up. Or like, wow. I mean, it was cool.

I'm not complaining. It was, it was fun to be a part of it and watch, but it was funny. No, that's how, that's how you, that's how he operates. Yeah. He just got into just mode. Yep. Yep. Don't tell Taylor this, but Colton's going to be a handful.

I know Colton, I know Taylor's thinking that he's going to destroy this but Colton's gonna be a handful. I know Colton I know Taylor's thinking that he's gonna destroy but Colton's gonna be a handful this week. I Think this is gonna be the best Colton Mertens. We've ever seen I think he's gonna be like better than he is at the Colt Mertens I'm here to fuck Taylor. Yeah, that's how he's gonna check in. Yeah I've already I've already warned the girls. Hey, Colton's going to check in this way seven times. This is what he's going to say to you when he walks over. Yeah.

I didn't, I didn't drive. Hey, and you know, Ali's competing individually, right? Oh no, I didn't know that. Yeah. They're both coming to compete. Oh, that's wow. That's that. And Taylor needs to use that.

The fuck with Colton You know what I mean hey is that like like as they're fucking I'm getting ready to start hey is Ali okay Hey, I'm just saying bro. Hey, I'm just saying bro. You're gonna be here coaching your girl Is Ali okay, she just seems she seemed a little off or is everything okay? She just seemed, she seemed a little off or is everything okay? Are you guys fighting like just like three, two, one. Go. I wonder, I wonder how many of the, well, yeah.

And she follows Sentinel, which is cool too. That's why Taylor always says Colton really follows Sentinel, not proven, which is even funnier dynamic. It's like Colton's going to say, nah, dude, she's your responsibility. I'm going to tell her to go ask you before, before every event. Hey, what do you think my strategy should be on this? When you're trying to get all in the zone, you know, Colton will probably just play it back to him.

Um, someone what's with the earring? Um, if you're talking about the Kamala earring, I don't think it's anything. It's just fun to speculate. I don't know what you're talking about, but the earring, I don't think it's anything. It's just fun to speculate. I don't know what you're talking about, but the earring. I don't have an earring. I had an earring. There is something though hanging from that, from the your left of your headset.

Sorry, the other side. Oh, that is I think what he's talking about. Oh, just that's this headset so old. Oh, the cancer one. Yeah. Yeah. I thought I had cancer from this. That reminds me, I better get Will's address to mail him or he could have Susan take it out. Um, I need to get something to Will the road

Video caster should I FedEx? God it seems like a lot to ask Susie to come out here. I guess I could always take it to him Hmm a lot to ask Susie to come out here. I guess I could always take it to him. I think Susie said he gets here Wednesday, right? He's got so much shit going on. He's meeting with the governor of Ohio the week after. They invited him out to Ohio. Him uh shindledecker crossfit crave uh this program that suz is doing with the firefighters the governor of ohio wants to implement it there suz is stoked mexican candidate assassination hits a grim record ahead of Sunday's election. Did you know that? 37 in this year's elections 37 candidates in Mexico were murdered

37 That's a fucking occupational hazard, isn't it? What are you doing running for office in Mexico? Oh Usable proof vest Damn All right Anything anything you want to say? I'm trying to hold back any questions that I think are more important for tomorrow's show No, thanks for asking me to do this and the ones tomorrow and all the ones because I'm very reluctant to talk about it. Yeah I know you never you never ever contact me about Crash

which is pretty funny. No I'm never. If I was an insecure little short aging man I it would hurt my feelings, but I'm not So I just I'm cool. You got enough people asking you for stuff. I'm not gonna do that. I I am really I Am really excited about this week. This is gonna be kind of a For me, it's gonna be like a relief. It won't be like it is for you. But for me, it'll be a relief. I'm basically just going to hang with John and Bill all week. Just gonna watch all the shows, hang with my kids, hang in front of the big screen, watch it all come in my office. I'm pumped and I'm pumped about all the shows we're doing. I'm stoked I'm going to meet Elizabeth

Wishheart. I think she's coming on this week. She's won one NorCal. I'd be stoked for her too if she won. It would make quite a statement if she won NorCal and Crash. be stoked for her too if she won. It would make quite a statement if she won NorCal and Crash. Has anyone ever won both? To be honest with you, I don't think Crash has really gotten any true West Coast people before last year. Like last year was the first year I can remember people wanting to travel that far. I think NorCal has been pretty established for years now. So it hasn't been, that hasn't been a whole lot of crossover is what I'm saying. Have you, have you been hearing the rumors about the games?

Depends on what rumors about the format for next year. Yeah, just via your show in the spin about it. But you know, Dave did say with a one of his trademark grins, we're going to make the open matter again. So yeah, I think that was already a hey, I think we're gonna take maybe I don't know maybe the top five in the world and Just say hey, that's five of the game spots right there because we've always said that you know people who crush the open It's gonna carry over to the games and then maybe like I don't know Maybe the the up the next five make it automatically do a semi-final so they don't have to do anything like quarterfinals

Maybe I don't know something like that. It um. But I think it's clear if they want to if they want to cut costs. I mean Greg said this Davis said this semi-finals is where they bleed all the money out putting on the semi-finals. So they they proved in 2020, do you remember when they did the online semifinals and they had like a split? Sorry, hold on one second. Sorry, hello? Hello?

Okay, sorry, do I remember when? Do you remember when they had the split screen of like Velner and whoever, like they had four people doing the same workout and they started them at the same time and it was different locations. Yeah. Yeah. That's like they, I mean, if they did that, they've proven they can do that.

They could send a judge to a hundred people and send it and send an equipment list and be like, Hey, we're going to do semi-finals virtually. And I mean, that would save millions of dollars. So that, that doesn't, I don't want that to happen because I think you need to compete in person and race to make it to the games. But if, if that's the way that they would want to try to save money, that's the way to do it. There's no way, there's no way from what I'm hearing, they're doing

any, uh, in-person events next year. Oh, wow. So no, except for the games, except for the games. Even like, uh, even like someone like me doing a in-person quarterfinal, like a sanctional. So you're saying nothing in person put on by CrossFit. Yeah. No, no, I don't even think they're going to facilitate anything like that.

I think I wouldn't be surprised to be honest with you. I would not be surprised if it goes back to 2019 to where they just go for the open and just invite people from countries. I would not be surprised. I mean, that would make me really happy. But what I suspect is going to happen is they're going to have an open, then they're going to have some sort of event in the middle that's online. And then they're going to have the games and that's it and if that happens I really want to do I really want to do James Sprague I really want to do James Sprague Jason Operator. Hey are you cooking, no, but I can. I smell meat. I smell meat. I don't know why. You can smell stuff from where you are in the house. Yeah.

Maybe it's just my own crotch I smell. Okay. Well, thank you. Maybe it's just my own crotch I smell. Okay, well thank you. Okay, bye. Do you want me to make you one though? I don't know. Let me wait a little bit because I'm gonna see if Greg wants to go out to breakfast. Okay, is it cool if I do an 11 a.m. class?

Yeah, totally. Today's Sunday, right? Okay. Yeah. Okay, bye. Okay, bye. Okay, bye. I really want to do... You think it's cool...

Are we doing breakfast? I would like to. You want to do like a Kill Taylor core finals. You want to do something like that again. I want to do it exactly like we did last year when fucking homeboy fucking passed out on the box. That was that right? Or was that the open? That was quarters, yeah.

I want to do an open workout again and I want to do quarterfinals but I want to do quarterfinals like a little bit bigger maybe even if we can. Like how many did we have last year? Four? I'd like to do maybe four boys and four girls if we can this year and get one primitive or someone to like double the money like last year we fucking ate five thousand bucks on that so get a little bit more sponsorship money and because that we can we can we can do

that I want to do that that's the biggest three days the podcast has ever had it was fucking awesome but I'm, I still I'm getting I'm getting a little nervous because if that's the only let me ask you this, if this is true, let's say they do just go to the open and then another workout, whatever it is, another, you know, middle piece, semi finals, quarter finals, and then the games. Does that put a bigger premium on that middle one? It does does right? Yeah, because

Tension on the athletes more tension more pressure Because you would have to imagine they wouldn't be qualifying any more than like a quarter of the field from the open So that still means three quarters is coming from that middle online competition middle online competition. Like if they took a field of 40 at the games and said, Hey, we're going to move the top 10 from the open. Okay. Well, most people are not going to be in those top 10.

So yeah, the pressure is still on that secondary stage to fill out the majority of the spots. More. Okay. You mean to go to the games. Right. And, um, so that net, then we run into the question again, do these boys want to do it live online? Well, that's what I'm saying.

I think what that proved last year is that the strategies or the gamesmanship of being able to do it in a gym with no one there to see your scores or see anything. The competitive environment trumped that by far. So those guys, those guys that it's way more advantageous to get for people who can push you to the level that you can't go to doing it by yourself. Now, I'm not saying everyone's that way. Think of people that have always like trained alone and like people like, I don't know. Whatever, Ariel, Pat, people who can be like, Hey, I can still go there alone in my in my garage and still beat

the majority of the world. But a lot of people are not that way. And I think if you ask, I mean, Jason, Taylor, Colton, all them are world class. They all said, hey, if I don't do those against you three guys, there's no way that gets brought out of me. Like there's no way I get those last five or six reps every single workout, you know what I mean? Yeah, okay. I think it's way more advantageous to do it that way.

I'd be shocked if other people don't try it, but, Oh, you mean to also live stream like training? Think Tank will do it or not necessarily stream it, but just to try to create the environment of the stream, like, Oh, right. Try to say, Hey, you four like, Hey, Berman, Travis, Alexis, and Lydia. You guys are doing all of these workouts head to head just like those guys did it. Yeah, that's awesome. So then, that's funny. So it's mischaracterized. You think the benefits of letting other people see your score doesn't outweigh the benefits of someone being able to go into fucking deep waters by having fucking being in between colton and james bragg I think the advantage you get from a racing environment online

trumps Other people getting to see your scores. For sure. I hope Trump trumps Kamala. If I told you that in 1932, it was like, no, I'm going back too far. Anyway, do you think that there's more black people voting for Trump this year than ever before? Not you, caller JR. I'm sorry, I couldn't hear you. You talking to me?

No, I was talking to JR. Oh, I thought the color was JR. I only hear you. I don't hear JR. Oh, you still don't hear JR? Did you hear JR just now? No, I just hear you. That doesn't make any sense.

No, I'll just you. That doesn't make any sense. No, I'll just make it brief then. If Castro says the open matters again, will he go back to five weeks? Will it stay three? Oh, that's a great question. Okay. Bye bye for now. Bye. Thank you.

That's a great question. Sevan, you're a huge, you're a huge five week guy. A huge, huge. Yeah. I don't, I don't own an affiliate. I don't go to an affiliate. I hate affiliates. All I want to do is hurt affiliates. Five weeks. Crush them. I mean, I don't really... Don't tell anyone this, but I don't really give a fucking rat's ass. I just like the quarterfinal thing because it was so good for the fucking podcast last year was so fucking fun

and it was fun fucking giving away the money and it was fun like watching those guys go hard and It was just fun like being in the center. You know what I mean? It's like I got to hang out with the cool kids for a few days I Was more now I was, it was reminiscing. Oh, okay. I thought you were thinking, what are you thinking about your wife? I was way more stressed about, I was, I was wound way tighter for quarterfinals than any

competition, live competition I've done, that I've put on. And that wasn't even my workouts or anything. It was just like having four people with two or three cameras each and their coaches and their, I mean the whole like, Oh yeah, everyone's equipment's the exact same, everyone's lanes the same. Like that, that kind of stuff doesn't stress me cause I know I can do that. But it's just like the man, this really matters. Like if someone's rower cuts off, it's not good. Like that kind of thing. How much of your happiness do you think is because of

your wife your relationship with your wife I was actually thinking about this this morning when when we went when we were at West Coast Classic like you were kind of like walking on air I'm like this motherfucker so fucking happy in his marriage because you had your wife there the whole time. Mm-hmm Did I did I did I see that accurately? Yeah, for sure. She knows how important CrossFit is in my life and She's really really honest when it comes to the fact that

Sitting around watching people work out is not the way that she would always choose to spend her time So to be able to like kind of go out there and just spend some time with me and Know that hey, I'm just spending time with you and this is what you love So that's why I want to do it was really cool. You were on cloud nine there You didn't have a care in the world you were chilling yep have a care in the world you were chilling yep yeah I could see how that would be stressful because at least it crash crucible it's all on you if you shit the bed it's like it fucks your shit up but well it's a little bit quarterfinals it's kind of like oh I kind of fucking interfere with these

guys's path to to wherever the fuck they're going. No, I well a little bit Yeah, but I think it's also All four of them have their ways of doing things so to try to get those four people to Bend a little bit and say hey, oh No, I know you I know you'd rather do the lift at two. Can we, can we do it at one? Right.

Hey, I know you like to have four hours in between. Can we do five hours in between? Like it's just that kind of thing because then in the day, lanes they were in, did they, did they ever, did you ever know? No. Okay. No, because I'm no. The only one. So that gymnastics one that we had to do in the warm up room. I don't know if you remember

that or not, but we did the rope climb one and I had to hang ropes from like, it was just logistic that that workout logistically was a nightmare because of the way my gym is laid out. Because everything is beautiful one though. I thought it was the most beautiful one. Like it looked I thought it looked amazing on camera. It was probably the, it was probably a fun one to watch. I've never gone back and watched any stream or anything from crash ever. So I don't know how it looked.

But, no, I would love to do something like that again. I just need CrossFit to put out a schedule in a reasonable time that's hey how many workouts was quarterfinals last year for and how many was semi finals six so if they just go straight from the open to the quarterfinals, I wonder how many workouts the quarterfinals will be. And then to the games. It would have to be six. It would. Wow.

I think so. But a lot of people are pushing back now on saying that, you know, you can do it. You can do it with less. I'm not saying you can't I think people I think the right people programming it you could oh yeah this would suck for us if it was two workouts each week over three weeks six scores that would suck for us and that's how a lot of these online qualifiers operate now. They're like, they're four, but you only get one a week. Like kind of like the open.

So you, what she's saying is like, hey, we'll just, we'll do six, but you won't get them all at the same time. Yeah. But that's logistically, that's fucked for us because we want to corral everyone together, keep them for four days and send them home Hey, do you ever you prefer three weeks, right? Isn't that the conventional wisdom affiliate honors prefer three weeks? Three weeks is great. Yeah, five weeks is just like fuck dude that you just took up fucking 10% of our year. Oh Yeah, I don't really see it that way it's just

It's a grind doing it for five weeks for sure. I wonder if they gave, you know what would be really trick too is if they gave fucking more prize money for the open this year. So with the money that they say from doing now, it would be a trip if they gave prize money for quarters. Oh just period I Just I just think if they if they get if they if they gave prize money for the open I think it would Mmm. Yeah, either way. Yeah, which I mean, if they cut semi-finals, you would think that adding $100,000 spread $50,000 to the open and $50,000 to quarterfinals. And hey, if you're only going to have one quarterfinals, you don't have to give fucking

prize money to fucking seven different locations. You can just be like, hey, the top in the world, these are the top 10 in the world. This is what they get without looking like a douche canoe. You know what I mean? You do seven different events and you want to pay top 10 down That's 70 people You can still look cool and do top 10 in the world and I still like it

I have no idea. You know what the books look like but if you're not doing Semifinals in person and you're able to save all those costs You could you could do event wins. So like if you did, if there were four workouts for quarters and, um, like Jason won the workout last year with the rowing dumbbell step up snatches, the interval one that was like one minute, one minute, one minute, and then one minute off. one that was like one minute, one minute, one minute, and then one minute off. Uh, and I think did Colton Colton was really, really high on the clean and jerk ladder one that with the one that he did. Why don't you just pay out for winning an event worldwide?

So like you get 10 grand if you win worldwide. I'd prefer that. So like that, because that's still not a lot of money. Yeah. And hey, one male and one female winner like that's that's you would get a lot more people together doing them head to head if you have that aspect to it also because that's yeah, because like this year at crash we're doing event wins. So I'm paying for event win. So if there's

With p-score too and you're like, hey, I'm gonna sandbag this first workout because the second workout I'm gonna try to win it just so I can come away with 500 bucks from the competition you like that's like that's yeah, like that's cool for that's That gives more incentive for people to sell out gives more incentive for people to's that gives more incentive for people to sell out gives more incentive for people to strategize gives more incentive for people to But you'll be punished with that with the score. Yeah, yes. Yes.

Um, not necessarily though, like it that's a Tyler thing. But you know, P score is based on the middle. So like if you can, so if you're Colton and it's a 10 minute workout and you can beat everyone by over a minute, you can make up for points lost on a different event. Oh, I see what you're saying. That's what works both ways. You might be punished somewhere else, but where you save it, you'll be heavily

rewarded, right? But it all kind of depends on what the, what the average person does. You know, that's kind of what that's what Tyler can, can come on and talk about tomorrow. Uh, according to Hunter Jr. will be working at high rocks in 18 months. I thought about doing a high rocks at crash competition. I can do it 100%. All the things.

Really? Yep. Where would they, you have the running course too? Yep. Hey, um, you just wouldn't call it high rocks? I don't know. I mean, I'm just saying, or do you, can anyone run a high by that? I just meant like, Hey, you could do a, like, there's nothing to stop anyone from putting on a high rocks competition, right?

If you called it something else. Yeah, it's just hard. Yeah, it's just, it's, it's hard to have all that, like all the space. I'm saying if you had all, I'm just saying the legality behind it is they just own the name. Like anyone could throw a crossfit competition, you just can't call it a crossfit competition. Anyone could throw a high rocks competition and just not call it high rocks right like you could call it uh low rocks big cocks ship box

str- ship box strong can have you ever looked into that can you just um how much does high rocks charge to throw an event no i haven't looked into it oh i would never get does high rocks charge to throw an event? No, I haven't knocked into it. Oh I would never get behind high rocks unless you did it a crash. I'd be fully in love. But people are people are talking about uh Hey, why don't they just do a high rocks is the long workout at a big CrossFit competition Like I would do that when you're at crucible like alright guys event one is is a high rocks race Damn, what is the longest're at Crucible. Like, all right guys, event one is, is a high rocks race. Damn. What is the longest event at Crucible this year? It's a 24 minute cap.

Wow. I would like, like a high rocks race would have to be 45 minute cap. 50 minute cap. You could do, you could do a high rocks light too. You could cut it in half Or that takes fun out of it All right, greg just told me he already ate breakfast I assume you'd be podcasting Well, fuck john gets here tuesday I might I might make John do a higher oxen no shit If you do Instagram stream that from the crucible Instagram, okay, that'll be fucking you'll get at least a hundred viewers

At least a hundred. Oh, okay. Let me see. Oh, um, Jer, when do you want to do the show tomorrow? Is that tomorrow? When? What time do you want to do it tomorrow? Later is better Uh later is better for jr. I have the kids. Um, I'll have both kids until Six me Todd me and tyler will have the kids until six. Me and Tyler will have the kids until six. So like nine your time maybe? Something like that. No, sorry. Nine my time. Damn. Send me your address. Sorry.

And he had the biggest snot rocket you've ever seen come out of his nose. It was slightly smaller than a roll of dimes and half the length and it was just a bloody rocket and it was dangling. It looked like it was cloth, wet cloth. It was five times the size of that snot rocket he has hanging out there. It was crazy Hey, there was Taylor. Hey does what Taylor send to that group mean? He's gonna come on the show and talk about it I hope that's what it means No Taylor's not coming on he's a pussy dude, he straight. Listen. He's so stressed out right now about crash He's not coming on he's scared that'd be that would be

You think you'd be good on tomorrow's show with Bill and John and me? Oh, yeah fucking him and John would get into the biggest fight Yeah, because John's already on record saying he thinks I bar is winning which is funny too because now Colton's You know got got John John From his cold minute and has Colton been attacked. I could see Colton just like being like it started attacking I bar now on social media Just John picks a bar and then fucking he just gets starts getting nuked Just John picks a bar and then fucking he just gets starts getting nuked Did you see did Taylor ever post that a video that Hillary made?

I don't know much. Shut the hell up. Why? Did that, that, I, I bar a guy ever say that's how you pronounce his last name? It is, it is how you pronounce his last name.

I wish it was Yeah That would be cool if you if you were him and you called him or like just like fucking with him. No, it's just on the go that I hear the name come up. It's like, they always say, Ivarra. It's just like nails to the chalkboard, you know? Jesus, yeah, totally.

How it's like, it's ethnically, it's like missing the whole fun of his name, right? Yeah, yeah? Yep. He's probably, his real name isn't even Chris. Jose Ibarra. That's just the one he put on his market social security. When he crossed the border of Homeland security, that's what he put on there. Chris, Christopher.

Yes, to sound Just fucking throw that out his father's but whatever you do whatever you want, right? neighbors What do you think I should call him? I'll call him something different over the whole week if you want I don't know, that's a real way to identify this, Ikebara, I mean, because you gotta go with that Alright, fine You don't want to hurt his feelings, but yeah, I don't think he's gonna take much I think Colton's in a better position to wreck Taylor and Ikebara Oh, Colton's gonna be savage, dude

I haven't even looked at the workouts and I already know Colton's gonna win. How come he didn't call in for kill test yesterday? Because he was scared. SpongeBob don't climb ropes like fucking Taylor. That's fucked up. Well, he's he's he's just a square. That's his shape. That's his that's his astrological sign.
