The guy is a beast. has clean again yeah behind the paywall of the largest weightlifting event in the world of its kind this european weightlifting event where our very own the intriguing intriguing, the beautiful, the dominant, the ever-athletic, our queen, the fittest woman on earth, Laura Horvat. He's gone behind their paywall and grabbed her weightlifting competition and put it in a compilation and brought it forward. We should be so thankful for this. We should be so thankful for this We should be so thankful for this There are huge companies out there With athletes who do these sideshow things You know, do things that fall within the discipline

But don't actually, aren't their sport Let's say like UFC fighters Who do jiu-jitsu matches And those are billion dollar enterprises And they barely have stuff like this. And we have Mr. Spin bringing us Laura Horvath. Mysterious, intriguing. We don't have a lot of contact with her. And here he is, goes behind the paywall and brings it.

I'm so proud to know this guy, to be able to work with this guy, to be able to get help from this guy. If you don't subscribe to the barbell spin, subscribe. The guy is a, is a workhorse. If, if Crossword were to give an award for best outside media,

I would say he's definitely in the running. So go check that out. He has a YouTube station, the barbell spin, subscribe, ask for all the, what are those called? Not warnings.

What's this thing called? Subscribe and no and all notifications. Anyway, Brian Spinn, regular on the Sevan podcast, has his own show. We share the greatest analyst in the sport together, John Young. He has the funny and ever-competent

strongman nerd, Tyler Watkins as a sidekick. Also, just a great group of guys. I announced this last week you heard it uh where well you can hear it again right now from the two-time champ the third fittest male crossfitter that's ever lived behind Rich Ronin and Matt Fraser the third best best male crossfitter ever uh has an announcement he wants to share, although I made it a few days ago. Here we go. Hey, before you close up, check your text between Daniel.

Sweet. Okay. Well, I messed up earlier, and I said that the – He messed up earlier. He only messed up once. I'm going to give you another shot this year. Go ahead. I didn't think that one of the open announcements would be in,

or we would be doing it in week two because there's lunges in it and you need bigger space, and we are doing 20. Did he just announce the movement? Do we know the movements? Do we know the movements of the open workouts? 24.2 in the shred shed. It's going to be freaking insane. They'll be doing 24.2 in the Shred Shed It's gonna be freaking insane They'll be doing 24.2 in the Shred Shed I messed that up for you guys sorry we're not going back

But that's what he just announced On his YouTube station With the beautiful and ever talented Ellie Turner and then I think that might be the dog walker Or something I am so freaking excited I've kept the secret.

Yeah. Oh, all I'm doing is watching Ellie as he announces it. She's processing some heavy shit. Some heavy shit there. All I'm doing is watching Ellie. Oh, it's crazy. I think Ellie's bummed because she has to go back to Europe, and this great event's being done in her gym, in her boyfriend's gym.

I don't know, fiance's gym, husband's gym. Not brother, father's gym. He's been a part of Open Announcements before, which is a super cool opportunity. I grew up doing CrossFit since 2012 and watching him. To be a part of him is insane. And now to be able to host one in my home gym, it's still crazy that I even have this place. Like I look at it every single day and there's so many people that have like made it possible. I love how excited Justin is.

Congratulations, Justin, Justin, Justin, Justin. It's going to be great. Colt Mertens is going to be there. It's going to be interesting to see how those two interact. And I just, I'm probably going to go back and watch this four more times so I can watch Ellie's reaction. She just, something's up. Something's up.

In other news, Jay DeCunes, the affiliate director for CrossFit, he's the top dog, reports directly to Don Fall. He is the man. If you're an affiliate, he is your man. He is your pilot. He guides your ship. He is with the long-since-retired Chris Spieler from 2007, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 CrossFit games. Maybe the smallest guy ever to have success in the CrossFit space.

Dacoons was in, looks like Park City, Utah. I believe that's where Speeler's gym is. Speeler was an affiliate. Then I think he de-affiliated. And apparently he's an affiliate again. Good to see Dacoons is making his way around, checking out some of the old school fools. Good to see that.

And I heard Dacoons was yoked and he looks pretty yoked there. Looks like Ben Bergeron yoked. You know what I mean? Anyway, there we go. J.D. Coons, Mr. Spieler. Spieler also was had had a renewed fame when he was the first person in the CrossFit community to come out with a I got COVID video. I don't know if you guys remember that. That was pretty ridiculous. Here we go. Mark Zuckerberg and Sean O'Malley at UFC. What a trip to see these two together. Wow.

I wonder if one of those guys is smelling the other guy's breath right now. Anyway, look, Zuck got better seats than O'Malley. The champion does not get the seats that one of the most powerful men in the world who pushed drugs on our kids for two years, school closures, censorship, gets better seats than we do. Than we do. then the champ does worth noting uh finally uh in the the what everyone's talking about in the crossfit community who punched who hit rich froning in the face who hit froning in the face look at that look at that we know it's not a curling iron or a hair straightener. What happened to Froney?

Wait for at least 200. 200? All right. I'll just talk until then. They can go back. I know. I know how it works. Elephant in the room.

I got hit in the face with a baseball from Trice. So that's what this is. Now, that's not the accountability or personal responsibility I'd like from the champ. Yeah, Mr. Froning, we'll talk about that. You are accusing your son of hitting you in the face with a baseball. You mean you weren't looking. You didn't have your hands up. I can't believe your son would just throw it at you.

Good boy like that Good Tennessee boy We'll have Froning on soon To get to the bottom of that But Rich Froning, hit in the face with a baseball Dude, that is crazy Rich Bruces is like a girl Damn, oh I'm gonna pay for that

Also in the news This guy has made the news before I don't his name. He looks like he gets his shirts from Hayley Adams closet. 15 sizes too big. He looks like he has a subscription to the Craig Ritchie hobo clothing line. He lifts weights with Taylor Self riding Taylor Self's jock for fame. Here we go. So on, if you're watching this trigger warning, there's two dogs here today. You pecker. He's not watching this. So, you know, he's probably on the assault bike coasting. Oh, I'm on the assault bike coasting. Huh?

Funny. Mr. Five shirtsirt's too big. Tough guy. Oh, I'm doing such a hard workout right now. Oh, Taylor's got my back, though. Watch this. Taylor puts him in his place. Taylor won't tolerate that shit.

More binge eating goji berries and pistachios. A handful of pistachios. You rich fuck. 20 RPMs on the assault bike. Watching podcasts on 1.5 feet. A handful of pistachios. You son of a bitch. Okay, fine.

Let's watch Taylor lift this. stupid lowering it to his back like that uh taylor doing 155 for three uh it's a good series guys this mic'd up series they're doing uh it's it's crazy it's um it's it's i think it's the best workout shit in the space right now. It's, uh, it's solid. And finally, uh,

for all of us to laugh at, uh, I do love, uh, Jake Paul. I love the, I love the Paul brothers. I especially like Jake Paul.

He's outspoken. He's smart. He's a thinker. He has said some wise words. He stands by logic and truth. Uh, why though? Why?

This is from Dr. Sean Pestucci's account. Why? Why Jake? Why? Come over to my house Sean Pestucci's account. Why? Why, Jake? Why? Come over to my house, Jake. Let's hang, dude. Let's hang. Let's do some kettlebell swings together. You know what always drives me crazy? Good, I'm going to tell you. It's when people with all of the money in the world who are really serious about what they're doing

are surrounded by people who have no idea what they're doing. That's the thing. We know Jake Paul is serious. He's the best at everything he does. But what is this? Yeah. Four, just like that. Five, just like that. Six, yeah. But what is this? Jake, we love you, buddy. Reach out to Sean Pistuch. He's a good guy, a movement expert.
