Starting point is 00:01:02 We're live England. That's the, that's the big Island next to your island that's the one that used to own us yeah oh shit hey do they own any part of you anymore uh depends who you ask they're heavily involved in the north yeah you guys will have do you guys think you'll have like some sort of like palestinian israeli thing go down or that those days are way over no we had that for a long time i remember that when i was a kid crazy shit yeah that was weird that was weird to see that it was weird being here it's weird when people talk about it because i was just so decentralized like i know as a child but i was so oblivious to it even though
Starting point is 00:01:43 it was on the news and stuff, you're just oblivious. From the United States, it looked like it was just basically gang wars, like turf wars. Yeah, a lot of terrorism, counterterrorism. Yeah, like I said, gang wars, Crips and Bloods. But Catholics and Prods. Oh, yeah, that's right. That's right. Welcome to the official CrossFit Games update show.
Starting point is 00:02:07 You're staring at Pedro. He's in the UK getting ready to cover... Wrap It Out. Wrap It Out? That's what it's called? Wrap It Out? Wrap It Out. Wrap It Out.
Starting point is 00:02:21 Wrap It Out. And that's an event in the UK. Did they invite you there? Are you crashing it? No, Richard Hornsey that owns it, he wanted me involved. And I was proud to be asked. So here I am. Yeah, hell yeah.
Starting point is 00:02:34 Anyone I know going to be there competing? No, I'd say it's more of a community vibe than an elite vibe. I think actually Carl Stedman might. You know Carl Stedman is the country. Yeah. Hell yeah. I think he might, I think he might be pairing up with Richard Hornsey and they might be
Starting point is 00:02:50 doing it together. Yeah. And then I think a lot of it is like affiliate people, you know, like not like no big, huge European names or anything. What about the guy? Ollie?
Starting point is 00:03:03 Is that guy still around? Yeah. he's I think he's in charge of Europe and Carl is the UK and then Daniel is international. They all moved up one. Okay. Daniel used to be Europe and Ollie used to be the UK and then Daniel moved up and Ollie moved up
Starting point is 00:03:19 and Carl stepped in. Oh, shit. Okay. Wow. Ollie's balling. Yeah. Good guy. Oh, shit. Okay. Wow. Ollie's balling. Yeah. Good guy. Lucky camera straps. Damn. Always, always with the late night money. Great episode this week, guys. Greg was awesome.
Starting point is 00:03:33 And Pedro with Rob Forte was great, too. You had Rob Forte on your show? Yeah. How was that? Cool. Yeah, it was cool. It's always weird talking to someone when it's their morning and my nighttime. But he's a good guy.
Starting point is 00:03:47 What's the big takeaway? What did you guys talk any like was it talking about him or jay crouch or crossfit in australia or what's the the down under championships is on he's running that we were talking about that a good bit um and like there's a lot of elites going over and then we were talking about jay it's cool like he's very um i kind of i met him at madison i was kind of surprised to see him at madison you know you just assumed his bad blood um when someone leaves someone else and i was kind of like oh shit what are you doing here when he was there and he's like oh i'm here with jay and um because jay went to proven yeah with tia and shane and then he was saying on the show that that was his idea that he suggested it and he pushed
Starting point is 00:04:25 he actually he wouldn't say the other camp but he's like I approached a camp and they were a bit more well we'll see and yeah we might be able to accommodate him and etc and then he approached proven and proven were like yeah we'll have him yeah so he wouldn't say who the other camp was but my guess is HWPO
Starting point is 00:04:42 that's what I was going to guess too why would you guess them just they seem like they're a little more um i feel like that's who he would have gone to because he went to tia because he went to proven because of tia he said basically like more or less and then who's the alternative to tia it's either gonna be rich or matt right i feel like matt is a more obvious choice for jay right um but yeah i don't know he's jay's made some serious fucking improvements i i think of it too also when i think of hwpo i think of them as being very selective on and very um limited occupancy and room i don't know why i think that
Starting point is 00:05:20 and then i think of uh mayhem is just like rich standing at the door just waving him in like come on come on yeah rich and facundo come on yeah yeah yeah rich is like if you just mentioned a rich like hey it'd be cool to come out to cook he's like come on come on she's hands you a mayhem t-shirt and and then and then proven we know it just seems like they would have some room with uh the departure of some of their mega stars. Can Pedro speak up a bit? Oh, shit. Sorry. He doesn't want the people in room 41 to hear him.
Starting point is 00:05:53 Is that better? Yeah. Oh, nice. That's very nice. Hey, Pedro, who just spent $6.5 million on a new headquarters? Proven? Fuck, you know everything. Just deduction. Berry Hills, a Berry Hill commercial building previously accommodating
Starting point is 00:06:17 eighth and Berry Wine and Spirits has sold for $6.5 million with one of the buyers, with one of the buyers being six times CrossFit Games champion and world-class weightlifter Tia Toomey. million with one of the buyers with one of the buyers being six times crossfit games champion and world-class weightlifter tia toomey the store uh the store the building sits on 1.02 acres sorry i can't i can't switch that to metric uh no we use acres oh you do okay
Starting point is 00:06:41 according to i thought you guys used hectares. No. It's also mentioned, but no. Okay, acres? What size, how many acres is your parcel of land that you live on? My house? It's like whatever a really small garden is, like 0.00.
Starting point is 00:07:02 My dad owns about 200 acres. Oh, no shit. What's on there what's on the land grass and cows and shit and shit like actual shit my dad owns 201 acres oh yeah my dad's got a seven and a half inch penis hey does your dad own a tractor uh yeah a few yeah damn uh according to davidson county register of deeds pedro uh the new owner is an llc affiliated with tia claire toomey and her husband so that makes me think that it was them who bought it that there aren't other people yeah that they're john nice to see you j john young of jy barbell senior analyst for the sevan podcast and also currently uh has a black eye but more importantly at the charlotte classic the gentleman sitting in fifth place is uh one of john's students
Starting point is 00:08:03 i want to apologize in advance, John, for Pedro's low energy. I've been fucking carrying the show for the last five minutes. That is true. The show's been shit, but he has been carrying it. Listen,
Starting point is 00:08:15 these things aren't exclusive. I drove like 80 miles an hour to get here at 6.05 instead of 6.12. I felt really bad. Good. Did Brian Frank give you that black eye for doing a power rankings he did he always funny we were going to do that we were going to do that before regardless of his show like before we had that in mind before like two weeks ago um
Starting point is 00:08:40 but we just had the rule book came out or not the rule book but all the changes came out so that show came up first and then he like said hey do you want to do this 200 thing with me i'm like absolutely man let's do it and uh didn't think anything of it and then it came out like the day after um like the mountain came out the day after and And, uh, it was just, it was kind of fun. The mountain's also a ranking. That's what's going to happen, man. It's a ranking system. The first,
Starting point is 00:09:11 is that, tell me about the mountain. That's the first I've seen some snippets of the mountain. What is the mountain? It's the 2024 CrossFit games mountain. That's what's, uh, what's going to happen in the 2024 CrossFit games.
Starting point is 00:09:22 It's men and women. That's why I really, that's why I really like it. Is it a work in progress? Like it'll move around and shit? Absolutely. You're able to climb the mountain or fall off the mountain. Like Mal O'Brien and Haley Adams, they're at base camp. They fell off the mountain.
Starting point is 00:09:38 They used to be really close to the top, and they've fallen off. Had a ski incident. Hold that thought. We'll get back to the mountain in one second to talk about Haley Adams and Mal O'Brien. They've fallen off. Hold that thought. We'll get back to the mountain in one second to talk about Hayley Adams and Mal O'Brien. They're definitely topics of conversation for today. She's a native of Australia who's loosely referred to as the fittest woman on Earth.
Starting point is 00:09:56 Give me a fucking break. The now 30-year-old was participated in the 2016 Summer Olympics in the 58-kilogram, 128-pound weightlifting competition, finishing 14th in the world. The couple lives in East Nashville. They created the fitness program Proven that trains CrossFit athletes. What was – there was something in here that they called her the fittest – where is that? There's one thing in here that was bizarre. Anyway, the 21,168-square-foot Beverly – Berry Hill Commercial Building, which seemingly offers no tenant, was constructed in 1953 and given an upgrade this year.
Starting point is 00:10:47 in an upgrade this year so they got a new they got they were asking 7.75 million for it and they got it for 6.5 but just three years ago it was half that price at 3.3 million you want to see what it looks like inside it's baller it's baller they're stoked have you seen it yet i've seen pictures from like nick story and stuff but not no like yeah that's all i got it's beautiful right crazy such shiny concrete yeah polished concrete hey so they're there to stay remember that tour that we got um and then andrew hiller covered the cost of all the stuff in their gym where is that gym that's australia i wonder what they do with that that just sits there i think so yeah it's just i think it's near her parents place
Starting point is 00:11:39 crazy yeah crazy crazy crazy. What's up? What is up, Pedro? Bringing the love. What's up, guys? Do you guys know why there's no trolls on this podcast? Because we don't go live? Define troll. Good point.
Starting point is 00:12:04 This podcast has its own culture. It has its own values. podcast has its own culture it has its own values it has its own depth it has its own there's no cancer in the comments feng shui yeah no i don't think feng shui is the right word what does that mean what it's like it's moving your fucking couch so that you don't get bad luck. Why is it a furniture thing? I just don't understand that. Chinese love a room layout. Your body can have feng shui.
Starting point is 00:12:35 What? If you move your penis to the back. If you have a front tail or a back tail. Listen to this. Speaking of... Hi, Mom. I'm live on the air. Oh, sorry. Okay. What did you want to talk about?
Starting point is 00:12:51 What time were you leaving tomorrow morning? 6 a.m. Oh, she sounds so sweet. I'll pick you up at your house at 6. Okay. Okay. Love you. Bye. Bye. We're going to Matt Sousa's 10-year anniversary tomorrow. Cool.
Starting point is 00:13:09 Two hours away. Partners workout. My mom thinks I'm taking her because I love her, but I'm taking her so I can sandbag the workout. That dirty or what? That's what I do. Okay. Here we go.
Starting point is 00:13:19 Listen, listen, listen. Can you hear it, Taylor? Yeah, I can hear it, dude. Oh, is it Colton? All right. here we go. Big farmer from Iowa. I've been lifting shit all my life. Doing man work. These boys don't know nothing about that. Good shit, right?
Starting point is 00:13:38 They don't know nothing about that. Although, I'm not one of those boys. He knows better to say some shit like that to me but uh yeah i agree he's a savage okay uh i do want to talk about um mal o'brien uh you you're you're let's start with john young um i cruised over to her instagram account today and And I was like, what do we know? Is this girl coming back? No,
Starting point is 00:14:08 we don't know, dude. No idea. We don't know. So there's some post here that says MOB. I don't know what that is. That's maybe some young people stuff. Mallory O'Brien.
Starting point is 00:14:20 Oh, then there's something. That's like AOC and MOB. Yeah, LOL. Yeah. Then there's so so let's let's look at this right here. Let's look at this. So this is a noble commercial.
Starting point is 00:14:38 She's probably like doing her just her final like obligations before those fuckers circle the bowl and go under. Right. just her final obligations before those fuckers circle the bowl and go under, right? It always annoys me when a brand gets all their athletes to post the same fucking thing on the same day, at the same time. Where is that?
Starting point is 00:14:57 I don't know, but... Vermont. Oh, she's still in Vermont. She looks happy as shit. That is Vermont? Yeah, isn't it? It's not the gym that they did the open workouts at. The last slide you're on there. With the Irish flag, I think. No, I think that's the HWPO headquarters.
Starting point is 00:15:19 No, it's all black, isn't it? H quarters, H quarters. This is her boyfriend, right? Yes. No, it's all black, isn't it? H quarters. H quarters. This is her boyfriend, right? Yes. No, her girlfriend. Slide seven. So what is going on?
Starting point is 00:15:38 Mal O'Brien, why do you have her falling off the mountain, John? Is she gone? No, she's on base camp. I actually think that that MLB one is actually maybe the clearest indicator that she might be coming back. And why do you say that? Because more to come and then it's about finding balance. It just seems more like, hey, I'm coming
Starting point is 00:15:53 back. I'm ready. And Eric Kastnos, I don't know if he still is, but he was the HBPO head media honcho fella. For instance, when Malabrine was second at the CrossFit Games, then she would have been
Starting point is 00:16:09 close to the top of the mountain. But then she didn't do the CrossFit Games for a year, so she can't be on it. She's not competing. But she has the ability to displace anybody on the mountain, so that's why she's at base camp. She does have the ability to displace anyone. the mountain so that's why she's at base camp
Starting point is 00:16:25 she does have the ability to displace anyone do you agree with that taylor no no how does she have the ability to displace everyone she's not competing you have no idea what she's capable of if she's competing then she does but like okay but what if she decides on day one to quit then she's off of base camp that's why she's at base camp like he's nobody talking about bro she's still in the fucking gondola she's not even in base camp bro she's she cut out like like the mountain the mountain is people who are competing and then people who could make noise if they are competing or like it's their number one priority, then they're the people at base
Starting point is 00:17:06 camp. It's not her number one priority, bro. She's got to be a fucking kid. And I think that's the right move for her. But I'm just saying why are we talking about her? We don't know if she's competing. We should be talking about my competition that happened today. I have two things that I want to talk about when we get a chance. I agree with you.
Starting point is 00:17:21 Let me say a couple things. The reason why we're talking about her is because she is the greatest threat to the podium outside of Laura and Tia. That's what we're talking about. If she is, if. The Malabarana Bowl. If. I think you have to emphasize the if.
Starting point is 00:17:37 I don't think we're going to get that either. Oh, dude, she doesn't know any other way. Emma Lawson? You don't think Emma Law lawson i think she's a threat i think she's great dude emma lawson's there she's put together the physical will come the physical will come especially for emma she is gifted dude oh man how quickly you forgot about how great fucking alabrine no she is great and and i was under the impression from everything i saw that she was a mental savage until she stopped competing because emotionally it was too much and that's what we're assuming
Starting point is 00:18:12 we're assuming she got burnt out if she comes back and competes i don't know if you get the same mal o'brien that there was before correct and that and if it's not the same mal o'brien then i don't know what to think of her she's on the mountain but she's not displacing people like emma lawson the difference between matt and pat and brent and noah like to me it's not the physical aspect why matt won five years it's because matt sees a workout and if he thinks it's dumb the physical aspect why Matt won five years. It's because Matt sees a workout. And if he thinks it's dumb, he's like, I'm going to fucking destroy this workout because your fucking dumb ass wrote it like that. And fuck you. Pat's going to complain about it. Brent's going to write something up and put it in the PFAA. Noah's going to tell a joke in the warmup area.
Starting point is 00:19:01 I mean, not dead serious. And I have a lot of respect for Matt because I think he's the toughest mentally, the toughest athlete to ever compete. Hey, let me say this up there. Have you seen Tia's latest video? She's a savage too. I'm talking about the men's side. Yeah, but she's a man. That's all shit that basically in her most recent video, she basically puts everyone on notice. My fucking mental game is unparalleled.
Starting point is 00:19:25 Yeah, it's untouchable. If I'm stepping – yeah, 100%. It's like, fuck you. I don't care if I lose. I'm afraid of not – the only thing I'm afraid of is not putting it all on the line. I'm like, damn. It's like where everything someone does to make it harder for you is another fucking gallon of gas that I'm like, fuck you. Because of that, I want to beat you even more.
Starting point is 00:19:44 Oh, your judge didn't no- rep you because of your shitty movements, and that's in the core of my eye? Fuck you. I'm going to stomp on you because of that. I can move to standard. You can get away with shit, and I can still destroy you. That's the mindset of someone like Matt and Tia. Dude, that's good shit Johnny just said.
Starting point is 00:20:00 Someone writes a bad workout, and 99% of the guys are complaining, and Matt's like, fuck you. Watch me beat your workout up. Yeah, or stupid i'm gonna i'm gonna make you like everybody by five minutes and be like this workout was stupid no even if it's a workout like atalanta i'm gonna walk through it at half effort and make you look like a fucking idiot he's still one though exactly and he walked through it he's's like, I'm going to not try. I'm going to destroy everyone. I'm going to make you look like a fucking idiot.
Starting point is 00:20:29 Look how happy Mal. I mean, I know it's just fucking Instagram, but look how happy she looks. This is not when I think of Mal O'Brien, I don't think of a happy person. I think of just a stoic, completely mind-numbing, no emotion coming off of her when I see her competing at the games. And then look at all these pictures. I love the notion. Am I going? I just love the notion that we can tell how happy she is based off the pictures she posts.
Starting point is 00:21:00 Because go to before her withdrawal. Go to before her I'm pulling out of the season post. And you're seeing that fucking smile everywhere, i mean i get it like and hey and maybe maybe this is a little concerning i'ma keep a smiling no i think what probably is maybe she might be just learning italian i think what's more telltale than anything is that she has a boyfriend i think that's really good for her oh okay no i don't know what that means for her competitive career, nor do I care, but I think that she should be at an age where she goes out and dates and has a boyfriend and goes to the fucking mall. She's probably 18.
Starting point is 00:21:37 She's probably never seen the inside of a fucking mall, bro. Oh, that's not right. Maybe she has. I don't like that you're going to say. I don't like that. Okay, dude. Come on. If you have to tell people how happy you are,
Starting point is 00:21:50 you're probably not that happy. I don't ever post on Instagram. It gets me. I should post a little more, but just all the time, dude. I don't give a fuck. Yeah, that part's a little unsettling. Maybe she's overcompensating with too many smiles. Look how happy I am.
Starting point is 00:22:05 I kind of think it's that she. I'm sure she was happy, but she's never this happy before, so she doesn't know what to do with it. She's just like, shit, I should tell everyone. I'm being a kid. I've never done this before. This feels nuts. I want to tell everyone about it.
Starting point is 00:22:21 That's it? Amazing. John, do you want her to come back? Absolutely. You want her to come back, Taylor? But on her own terms. I don't care. Pedro, you want her to come back? I think if she's ready, yeah.
Starting point is 00:22:36 I don't want her to come back and quit again in six months. I want her to come back and have longevity. Let me rephrase that. I don't not want her to come back, but I'm like, I want to watch the best in the sport compete I want her to be happy be happy yeah so so I'm I'm I'm a little different I I want what's best for the sport and I don't care whether she's happy or not happy I want her to drag her ass out there and get hurt on and and I also think in 10 years she'll look back and be like boy I should have taken that old man's advice so you would
Starting point is 00:23:05 rather the mal o'brien that gets second place but buries her head into the wall rather than a mal o'brien who's happy and gets fifth place yeah yeah you think well no i think you need to rephrase that question savannah's happy with a mal o'brien who drags her head through the dirt and gets second place and has no life versus a mal oal brian who doesn't compete and is happy i mean that that would prefer that question i mean john's question was harder to answer but i don't think john's question is as realistic i don't think that's a likely scenario you don't i want to see her get out and drop that or Worse than fifth or better than fifth? Worse. Hey, dude, she scares people like Tia scares people. When she's on the field, like all the other athletes are like, fuck.
Starting point is 00:23:51 It's like that, dude. No one wants a piece of her. Tia don't want a piece of her. Tia has to talk herself into wanting a piece of her. She lost the problem, dude. But, dude, that edge. I get it, but I think she'll be in the alex kazan gabby magawa danielle brandon tier there's a big drop off after that tier and no here's what i believe i think that
Starting point is 00:24:14 she lost the edge that you're talking about as soon as she withdrew and for for what we see when you show a chink in your armor that's why that was so good that's i'm done no i think she's below that no i know me too i don't think i think she's in the next tier which is still five through tenth tia is no chink in the armor regardless of what happened at rogue she came back and fought for first place six months after having a child no change five months that's not what i'm arguing i'm arguing people like page power she's gonna be better than right i'm i'm agreeing with you i'm just saying i don't think she'll come back i'm to savon's point i don't think she's gonna
Starting point is 00:24:55 be a threat to people they're not gonna be as worked up about her because we're like yeah she might quit this workout hey look how tan john is no no what happened to your eye dude what's beneath your eye my my dog oh that's a shitty story you don't even got a cool dog dude i got two i got a couple things all right whatever classic we will let's talk about one second i like that chink in the armor metaphor here's kind of the thing you got someone like alex gazan and we're right before our eyes we're watching her suit up and turn into fucking iron man unfortunately for mal o'brien we saw her take off her suit and we're like oh you're not iron man anymore like are you gonna put that shit back on so i think it's doing it way better than how mal o'brien was going about it no what
Starting point is 00:25:42 i'm saying is alex gazan is turning into a superhero before our eyes mal o'brien fell like she took off her batman suit and we're like oh shit there's a person under there that's what i'm saying and and look i think the best the best athletes did it the way alex is doing it matt took second two years before it was like okay what i wasn't good at is fixed now you're never going to beat me tia the same way let's say she's in the gondola dude i mean she she's a scary i i i think she's scary i think she brings fear to athletes uh peloton uh oh here's the ceo of peloton good to have you buddy good to have you a weenie pussy what happened with them and and and didn't they like sponsor never mind read the
Starting point is 00:26:23 comment i reached out to her about four Peloton bikes signed by Dana White. She left me on read. Let me know if she's interested. Okay, Mal. Okay, I will. That's exactly what I was going to ask about. I didn't even read the full comment,
Starting point is 00:26:34 but what happened between them and the UFC? He was on Theo Vaughn's podcast and Dana was telling a story about how he told one of his sponsors to go fuck themselves and i think theo von told a story about peloton telling him that he couldn't do something or oh here we go okay all right now is this the peloton one or the bud light this is the bud light one no i posted a video for trump oh right on my personal social media and one of our big sponsors called and said take that down you know i said go fuck yourself i posted a video for trump go fuck yourself
Starting point is 00:27:15 anyway this guy dude leo von peloton told leo von something and dana white's like pull up that fucking uh pull up i want to see who the ceo peloton is and he pulls up the picture of him and dana just fucking eviscerates him hell yeah dude i mean he looks like he lives in boulder you know you know that dana is a savage uh speaking on on that this is off topic i promise you we're gonna get to charlotte classic i had a guy on today who's really who was really cool affiliate owner out of san francisco um what was the guy's name uh rory rory mara irish dude rory rory marlo pinkle decker oh maro marlo roy marlo he owns a fiora crossfit fiora crossfit in san francisco and his wife's going to become a firefighter
Starting point is 00:28:03 and i was like oh she's going to do it easy because they're going to pick they're going to they're picking women now over men just because of their genitalia he said absolutely that's why she's going to do it i said yeah that's cool but just think about that for a second think if you have a choice if you if your kid's in a car accident somewhere do you want a male firefighter to come get her or a female firefighter to come get her or a female firefighter to come get her i want my wife's gonna get her all right fine fine if you if you if you if you call the cops do you want two dudes to show up or two chicks to show up but it gets even worse because i know what you're going to say well the women might be totally capable but we already know
Starting point is 00:28:41 they're not because they're already accommodating people with vaginas over penises it should be the other way around they should be like hey you know what it's going to be harder for women to get in not easier not because men are it's just we we live with fucking just anytime you want to make one of those dumb decisions, just be like, who would you want to come get your kids? Just ask that. I wouldn't trust any fucking – to be honest, I wouldn't trust a single person. I don't have kids, but I could imagine I wouldn't trust anyone other than myself. Yeah, I want fucking Blade to show up. Right, right. That's right. For sure. I know him. I fucking want him to show up.
Starting point is 00:29:22 Now listen. I want Blade to show up. But listen, if it's a firefighter, don't get me wrong. I want Sam Br him to show up yeah now listen now listen I want Blade to show up but listen if it's a firefighter don't get me wrong I want Sam Briggs to show up before Save On right but Sam earned that shit isn't that like every every movie in the
Starting point is 00:29:37 sensitive question Caleb did your did Mrs. Beaver earn it or did she go under the vagina rule she fucking earned it alright fucking crazy Did Mrs. Beaver earn it or did she go under the vagina rule? She fucking earned it. All right. Fucking crazy. Okay.
Starting point is 00:29:52 John. Yeah. Your wife gets in a car accident. Car flips over and goes into a ravine. Six firefighters show up. How many of them do you want to be men? I would trust myself before I trusted anybody trusted anybody else jesus christ you pussy you bunch of pussies we're not gonna give you what you want fucker yeah i'll take sandbags too take six sandbags i i would rather jump into the ravine and do whatever i needed to do you don't have that
Starting point is 00:30:18 choice what i'm saying is do you want your tax dollars going to be picking people yeah thank you bryson thank you that's all we need to say. Come on. I know it's a touchy subject. That's why you – that's – I've worked with some pretty awesome female firefighters. Don't get me wrong. I am not doubting that. Generally speaking, men are stronger.
Starting point is 00:30:39 Women are weaker. Men are bigger. Women are smaller. In that sense, yes, men. But also also generally speaking there are some fat fucking dudes some lazy motherfuckers and some hard-working women we're complaining issues but i agree with you if you want to complain it's gray but generally it's not gray you shouldn't make the test easier for women no i agree with that yeah imagine imagine
Starting point is 00:31:02 how shit the movie g.i.j.m would have been if she just walked in they were like yeah you're in you're a woman listen if elizabeth ock and wally is going to come save me out of a fucking burning building i'm fucking game then what are you saying but i'm just saying that they shouldn't make you shouldn't get to choose someone if it's just because they have a vagina they shouldn't you don't get to be a firefighter like like um sally over here doesn't get to be a firefighter. Like Sally over here doesn't get to be a firefighter over Taylor because she's got a vagina. I agree with that. I mean, I think if everybody goes through the same test, regardless of what she just thinks, she has a vagina. They're not.
Starting point is 00:31:38 They're picking women. Well, then I agree with you. Jesus Christ. John's like, I better listen or we're never going to get past this. God, it's fucking firefighting. We don't have enough fucking firefighters out there. Doesn't everybody and their brother want to be a firefighter? Or no?
Starting point is 00:31:53 I want Angelo to do it. Dude, you know what I thought was crazy? I want Angelo too. Don't get pissed, Sam. I'll take Angelo over Sam. I'll tell you this. Anytime that somebody, she's on a rig, my wife is on a rig with another dude, she's the one picking people up
Starting point is 00:32:09 every time. The other dude is incapable of picking them up. Fair. But your wife did pass the test legitimately. Absolutely, she did. Yeah. Fair.
Starting point is 00:32:23 Good. No offense. tell your wife I'm sorry easy easy easy easy look at Katie's getting all squirrely in the comments Jesus Christ getting squirt she's been that way since the start of the fucking show super not smart coming at female
Starting point is 00:32:44 firefighters we're not coming at female firefighters we're not coming at female firefighters wait wait super not smart yeah super not smart you want me to pull it up yeah yeah let me see that boom super not smart jesus christ super not smart work over morning choco hey let me ask this hey hey let me ask c Caleb's wife this. Would Caleb's wife rather have a man at her side or a woman at her side? How about that? It doesn't sound like she wants the guy that's at her side now to be at her side. Yes, that's true.
Starting point is 00:33:16 Anyone but him. I'm not coming to female firefighters. I'm not coming to female firefighters. That's what's crazy. That's the misunderstanding. That's where it gets conflated. I'm coming at the at the fucking process the process as they say we're fucking coffee pods and wads is from the process i'm upset with the process don't pick someone because they have a vagina pick someone for their ability to climb the ladder and put it away in the truck i don't think i don't think we disagree with you i think you're just wording it really badly it's the same as all
Starting point is 00:33:43 those other rules though it's the same as as the Rooney rule and all those other rules where it's like, well, why are you making this a rule? You have to pick someone not based on their credentials or not based on their capabilities, but based on we need to fill this niche on our fucking list of employees or in our station or whatever. Go ahead, Caleb, and then I'm going to blast John here.
Starting point is 00:34:00 Go ahead. I'm good. Go ahead. I'm not wording it weird they're wording it weird they're not saying they're being dishonest they need to say we're letting people in because they have a vagina we're lowering the standards to get more vagina in this in the firehouse no i'm saying he's not we agree with you yes katie yes if all the women are more fit than the men, boom, come on in. But let's not say, okay, women. Right here, this is going to be a perfect segue into what I wanted to talk about. So I'm just going to have to take this advantage.
Starting point is 00:34:32 It's very short. If the fire station was in Charlotte. No, shut up. Listen, life as a firefighter. All right, fucker, zip it. This is important. As a firefighter, as a soldier, as a police officer, life is never going to adjust its prescription to your body size, your gender, your level of strength, your level of speed. Life happens as life happens. So it doesn't matter if you're a guy or a girl, life might give you a 20 pound wall ball. It doesn't matter if you're six foot or you're two foot life might give you a 20 foot target. It doesn't matter if you think you have a dick or a vagina life might make you climb a 35 foot rope. So the standards for women can't be okay. Men have to do 10 trick
Starting point is 00:35:17 pull-ups, but women only have to do six. The fire doesn't fucking care if you're a girl or a boy, you all have to do 10 strict pull-ups to fight this fire. So that's what Sevan is saying is that do not adjust the standards for women to make it easier for them to come in. Today, we all agree with that, right? We had a workout today where there was 30 ring dips and I
Starting point is 00:35:38 set the ring height at 88 inches and I fucked up because it was the proper height for women and I told the men in the warm-up area, it's low and it's going to be challenging for some of you that are taller. But deal with it. And then what I fucked up by saying is I might adjust the ring height if we have time before you guys start. I shouldn't have said that because I didn't want to from the start. And what I should have just said was it's 88 inches.
Starting point is 00:36:01 Deal with it. Just like a wall ball target is 10 feet tall. If you're Colton Mertens, deal with it just like a wall ball target is 10 feet tall if you're colton mertens deal with it and there were can you stop for a second yeah did you say it was ring dips ring dips they were on the high rings though so you had to do a muscle up to get up there why how would 88 inches been be too low because a guy that's six three to do a muscle up oh yeah just one muscle up there right that's that's my thing that was my sentiment and also life is not going to adjust its prescription just based off of your body size and we have a 10 foot wall
Starting point is 00:36:33 ball height that we're going to pass on that you haven't finished the story and i want to hear but if it's just one muscle up you get a pass right well it could have been five or six because they had to break them up i mean continuous so continuous. So you're not correct. Correct. Correct. Essentially there were three really tall guys, two of them struggled. And like, I was very stoked. I didn't make any facial expression changes, but it hurt me to watch them struggling. But there was one really tall guy, equally as tall as both of them who was able to bend his knees and do a perfectly fine kipping muscle up and get up there. And it's just – I don't know.
Starting point is 00:37:09 If you're going to consider your – if you're an elite athlete, like you've got to be able to overcome something small like that. But that was just – I don't know. Are you saying – are we giving you some therapy right now? Yeah, this is cathartic. The other thing is on the trail run, this guy threw up. Wait, wait. Before you go there, let's close this. Do you wish
Starting point is 00:37:25 if you could go back in time how would you have changed that i wouldn't have said i'll adjust the ring height i would have said it's 88 inches if you can't fucking get up there go to rx because it's an it was an elite division workout okay so it wasn't that you wish you would change the workout the presentation you wish you wouldn't have given any wiggle room correct i should have said it's going to be challenging for a reason that's different than when most of you have been challenged before and that's because the rings are a little bit lower you still have to do some sort of pseudo muscle up to get up there um but it is what it is can we avoid talking about crossfit for another five minutes please what are we here to do dude the other thing is this kid oh maybe maybe you didn't get
Starting point is 00:38:08 it at all when we talk about what happened about the three dollars and fifty cents that morning chalk up was sold for hang out oh yeah oh i can't wait to talk about that this kid from mayhem shows up he's uh his name is nick good athlete so far but uh on the trail run i was like riding my bike around, like trying to stay ahead of each heat of athletes to make sure they were going the right places. I had people on the trail. This is the other thing.
Starting point is 00:38:33 This workout, they had to carry a dumbbell for half a mile and Fikowski in a Reddit thread. And this was actually him, called it stupid. So this one athlete, Sergio, he destroyed the workout. And he showed, I like filmed him running with the dumbbell. He had the dumbbell on his neck, just no hands running with it, like fucking moving. And I put that on my Instagram, and I tagged the cow skin. I called him a wuss.
Starting point is 00:38:56 So – With a W. Yeah, a wuss. I should have just called him a straight pussy. Now, if Sergio said the workout was stupid after the match. I would have called him a pussy too. You just said that was savage when Matt Fraser did that. Well, that doesn't mean I wouldn't call Matt Fraser a pussy
Starting point is 00:39:12 for complaining afterwards. Keep your mouth shut. If you keep your mouth shut, you're not a pussy. If you complain and whine about it, you get the capital P. Did he see the tie? I don't know if he saw it. You't know if he saw it you can see his hands off take his hands off in a second this is how he did the whole first half mile and he was running like an eight minute pace wow wow i guess he just he just shrugged his shoulders yeah just look dude
Starting point is 00:39:36 it's gonna be uncomfortable suck it up um anyways the uh oh that guy dropped his. Yeah, there were some – look, one guy, Sergio fished in 32 minutes. Another guy took him 60 minutes. I know, dude. Poor bastard. That's the spectrum of should I really be in the elite division or not. You let anybody sign up for it, right? Yes, that's why. If you want to sign up for it, yeah.
Starting point is 00:40:02 So anyway, this guy, I'm like riding my bike around, and I'm just right at the like 30 yards in front of the finish line, just like randomly, and this guy's running past, and I just hear, and I heard it, and I was like, no way. Like I knew what that sound is. I'm like, no way this is about to happen. I look over, and I hear it again. He goes, and then it just comes out of his mouth, and he keeps running as vomit it's just i saw that i saw that post it was rain
Starting point is 00:40:30 energy drink crazy probably nuts all right i'll shut up now dude let's talk about whatever no that was good how is so you're happy with what day one you're good yeah yeah i mean there's i'm well i'm okay i had that you guys have given me a bunch of energy um which is cool was day one just the run or were there no there's the other event was 15 back squats at 245 60 second l sit accumulate 60 seconds 15 front squats 205 30 ring dips on the high rings 15 overhead squats 165 that was the second event which was like pretty fast i think fastest guy was like 530 moving else it's in an event that's just stupid fuck off dude i had a good standard there too they just had to keep their heels over the profile and above a ballistic block should have ran that by me um jr loves it dude that else it was sick and i didn't have any
Starting point is 00:41:20 issues on the else it daddy on me i see what you did there the two the two issues i listen accessory work should not be part accessory work should not be a competition uh movement okay strict pull-up strict pull-ups not accessory work then how is else an accessory work else it's an accessory no it's not it was a games event before any of these fucking nancies were putting it in their accessory that that was stupid on their part too it's only accessory work if you do it a lot of these guys didn't do it dude you know what's crazy it was taking guys three minutes to do 30 ring dips and i'm like dude you guys do 30 muscle
Starting point is 00:42:07 ups in under three minutes what the fuck is wrong with you how crazy is that it was hey pull up um please caleb the self-made story they've launched their new their pre-sale their stuff looks really oh pull that up get off the phone he's ringing jr he's not gonna pick up you have a prescott arizona number that's why i know how this man thinks he's not gonna pick up shut up oh how do i get one of those uh we've got an order i think there's a pre-sale link i don't know where oh hey that's that's what that's what oh that's oh you want to go that's nice wow they're like fucking stitched it's like stitched as well.
Starting point is 00:43:06 Oh, yeah, dude. Check it. Wow. Look at Katie Gannon wants one. She just wrote in the comments. Can I get one of those hats, please? I would wreck that hat. Lincoln Bio. Let's go, baby. Excuse me. What? I did nothing. Caleb just blurted something out. He has Tourette's.
Starting point is 00:43:28 What does the 23 stand for? 2023 that is cool MJ happy Jordan year guys that's so white trash like I drive a fucking forklift it's so have you ever driven a forklift no i don't even know dude i know even the driver apparel i worked at a motorcycle shop and this guy we had we sold jet skis too and we would get him in these big ass crates stacked like four high and this new guy who was working in the bay with me like pulls him off the truck with the forklift is carrying him around back it's going a little too fast and they start to wobble and he dropped four brand new jet skis onto a customer's double unit with
Starting point is 00:44:07 two new jet skis on it. You saw that? Yeah, saw it live. Live action, baby. So six jet skis just eat shit. Fucked. Yeah. Can you do that quick math? Oh, dude. $60,000.
Starting point is 00:44:21 Uh, probably $60,000. Probably 60,000 dollars Okay while we're just talking some shit here Because it's not it's unbecoming of me But I want to go back to Dallin Pepper's Instagram And last week Dallin showed us how fucking to do Instagram And what he did is
Starting point is 00:44:38 He took the piss out of Daniel Brandon by saying Hey I actually signed an autograph Daniel Brandon actually took a picture of me And someone else And they, Daniel Brandon actually took a picture of me and someone else. And they asked Daniel Brandon for a picture. Now, it's too fucking late. Rain is completely fucking shit the bed. I wouldn't drink that shit if I was fucking dying.
Starting point is 00:44:57 Yeah, it's disgusting. I drink C4 and I would never drink a rain. It just looks gross. But look at this. This of Marsden and Chand chandler and jason and a dallin pepper this is fucking brilliant this is what this should have a fucking voiceover this is this is where you're like hey dude we drank way here pretend like i'm down pepper dude jason's a monkey he's like get down from there no that's not what it would say dude me
Starting point is 00:45:23 and jason drank way too much fucking rain when you drink too much rain shit like this happens not not uh not uh doing drinking games with rain or having some lady who's breastfeeding tell you that she takes 300 milligrams of rain to her to her body to be a good mother. If I go in, everyone goes in. Jason, I've never seen a grown-up man be as much of a child as Jason. At Crash, he was
Starting point is 00:45:53 constantly to Taylor, poking him. He's like a fucking monkey, poking him and being like, hey, let's play slaps. Pretend fighting. I'm like, what fucking age are you? Do you think someone got injured there no no no i don't think so they probably want to show it if someone well here's the thing that's chandler and jason who
Starting point is 00:46:15 are probably both very comfortable playing like that because jason's a football player and chandler is a wrestler so you it's a skill knowing how to like be tackled or fall or be taken down by someone. There's another video where Jason fucks Medeiros into the water, and he lands on his crotch on a padded bridge that's going across. Where's that? Where's that? Whose account is that on? I can't remember.
Starting point is 00:46:41 I think it's either on Jason's or on the Portable Rose one. I'm not sure. Sorry. Can't be more specific. All right. Anyway, that's my advice for those jackasses that rain. And congratulations, Dallin. Once again, your Instagram is amazing.
Starting point is 00:46:56 Okay. Look at this. Can we go to the PFAA in Guadalupalooza? Why is Guadalupalooza partnering with the PFAA? Have you guys seen this? Yeah, I saw that. Does that make any... So I watched the podcast with the Lone Ranger podcast that Dylan was on. Dylan's a fucking gentleman of the highest order.
Starting point is 00:47:20 But if I remember, if I understood it correctly, Dylan actually asked them to be a part of Wadapalooza. What do these guys bring to the table? Anyone? The PFAA. What do they bring to the table? I don't understand how they bring anything to the table to an event like Wadapalooza. Because this is why why would you take whatever precautions for a pro division
Starting point is 00:47:46 that you can't take for every other division there you've got like fucking 50 divisions at wadapalooza so oh you're gonna make sure the pros are safe but you're not gonna make sure fat becky mom is safe because there's no way there's no way you can take all of the same precautions to fucking 5 000 athletes this. This is a joke. I don't know. They're not going to have media for Fat Becky. Like last year, whenever the chain – Poor Becky.
Starting point is 00:48:13 He came down and hit Gray Sabre, I think, in the face when they were doing ring muscle-ups. It's not about media. It's about are these athletes safe. But I'm saying like you take the precautions for the professionals and, and like, not for the, I just don't think it applies to all of you.
Starting point is 00:48:31 But what is, what is what a Palooza get out of this? Let me ask you this. Do you guys not enter? Do you think there's one athlete who doesn't and won't enter the elite competition? If they, if they don't partner with PFAA,
Starting point is 00:48:41 what is it? I don't get what water Palooza gets out of this at all. This almost signing up. There's no PF pfaa yeah does anyone do that i gotta get dylan on here and ask him why he would do this why he would subject his event to this you won't do it i won't ask him you won't ask him like that why would you you do this? Yeah, what the fuck? Fuck you. Why wouldn't I ask him that? I don't know, dude. I like it when you stir the pot.
Starting point is 00:49:15 I'm not trying to stir the pot. I want you to try. But I don't understand. I seriously don't. Go to the top. One probable reason or one possible reason might be because
Starting point is 00:49:26 it alleviates any potential of anybody complaining about any of the standards or any of the workouts because they can say well we brought in the PFAA and it was
Starting point is 00:49:33 they said the rings should be at this height they said that it should be like this so you can't complain to us we did what you guys fucking want us to do so what's it like

Starting point is 00:50:37 visit amex.ca slash ymx benefits vary by card terms apply maybe i agree that's the only thing that's the only thing I can think of. You do agree with Pedro? Yeah. I mean, that makes a lot of sense. You cannot get mad at them for anything if they're partnered up with the PFAA and they sign off on all the competition standards. But you can get mad at them. Oh, so now it's not just Luzza being retarded, but it's both of you being retarded.
Starting point is 00:51:03 Yeah, but that's the athletes being retarded. So, like, the athletes are retarded. You're complaining about yourself because you've signed off on the standards set before you. No. What do you mean? I'm not calling myself retarded because I'm not in the PFAA. John, what he's saying is if they don't cut the ropes, Wadapalooza can be like, well, we had the PFA H Pedro saying that they can now say, well,
Starting point is 00:51:27 we had the PFA, uh, say that those ropes were fine. Yeah, exactly. And the PFA. And it doesn't matter if PA says it's fine. Cause it's not,
Starting point is 00:51:36 if you don't cut the road, fucking idiot. No, but the people that will come out afterwards and say that it wasn't fine. Are the people who are telling them it's fine in the first place? Cause it's the Kowski it's Valner. It's all the, like there's a top branch of athletes that are in it the blame it takes the blame off of the water palooza and puts it on the pfa should anything bad happen only if you're a person with no nothing up here that you can use like critically
Starting point is 00:52:00 if you're a person who's completely empty up here and you can't think critically, then okay, well, you have the PFA, okay. But if you're a critical thinker and you look at something, you say, wow, that's really not safe. And Dylan goes, yeah, but the PFA signed off on it, and I'm going to think, so you're both retarded. And then he'll say, yep, and then walk away from you, and that's it. But you see what I'm saying? Like nothing comes from that. It's an awkward conversation for him, and it's like this. I's it. Like nothing comes from that. It's an awkward conversation for him. And it's like,
Starting point is 00:52:27 like I get it. You're right. Dylan, Dylan Val, save on, make sure you split this four ways. Hope the baby's great brother. Thank you,
Starting point is 00:52:36 Dylan. Hey, pull that up again. I just want to read you what they claim it's for and see if any of you can like make any sense of it. Shit. Look, Caleb,
Starting point is 00:52:44 you got left out of that four-way spit i was wondering who didn't get it hand in hand with t-shirts okay uh partnership hand in hand with the pf professional fitness association pfaa the tier wadapalooza is taking an intentional step to further the community of fitness athletes by by taking intentional step to further the community of fit okay by agreeing to a list of standard ways to enhance the competition experience the aim is to provide ample safe opportunities for athletes to showcase their abilities on the competition floor the hope is to build upon this partnership to support the growth of the sport and the other competitions of diverse sizes and types will follow suit okay i have three possible
Starting point is 00:53:32 reasons why they're doing it one is one that i said two is because it's a pfa continues and becomes something then wadapalooza was the first to you, push them forward and the first to partner with them or whatever. And then the third is the more cynical side of me saying, it's just like virtually signaling basically. Would the PFA let me have my athletes run with a fucking dumbbell? Serious question. Let me know. One of the things I said on the podcast was,
Starting point is 00:54:03 is that other people had asked to partner with the PFA, and he said we weren't ready to partner with them. But he believes that it'll be easy to partner with Wadapalooza. I'm paraphrasing, but easy to partner with Wadapalooza because of how good the event and what good standing the event's in already. Good standing? A chain fell on Cole Grayshaber's head last year. Whatever. Accident. What the fuck?
Starting point is 00:54:24 They lost an athlete when I competed on the swim. They lost an athlete. I remember that. They've never been seen since. Poor Brant. God damn, Brant. Seriously? Hey, that chick had a meltdown, right?
Starting point is 00:54:37 She had a meltdown and just ran off the court? Yeah, she just left and didn't tell anybody. No, but that's ridiculous. This is ridiculous. Okay, so no one knows dude we have we had people we had medical staff crying because they thought they lost an athlete at that time that's crazy somebody died i also have to make an adjustment to my earlier statements i feel bad i kind of feel bad you're gonna call me a pussy savon but i kind of feel bad for saying for saying
Starting point is 00:55:00 retard i and i don't mean that in a derogatory i guess have to i don't mean in a derogatory way i mean like i won't call you pussy for that that's fair i just mean like you're you're an idiot of a person not like you know what's more derogatory to use the word pussy gay or retarded they're all pretty they are they are i i get that man i think he would i think he'd be fine with it he just thinks it's stupid I'm not ragging on people with intellectual disabilities. Oh, this is a good poll. 20. Wow. Look at all these votes.
Starting point is 00:55:30 Yeah. No, I'm saying I think Fikowski would be fine with it. No, he commented on a Reddit thread and called it stupid. Yeah, but it's not. I don't think it's unsafe. I just think he thinks it's stupid. Like that's. No, he thought it was unsafe.
Starting point is 00:55:44 You know what I mean? He meant it was unsafe. Yeah. He described it was unsafe. He meant it was unsafe. The way he described it was unsafe. He didn't just say, this is stupid. Like he said, that you should be allowed to wear a padding then because this is stupid.
Starting point is 00:55:55 He said that? You should be able to tape a towel underneath your shirt is what this fucker said. I think he meant it sarcastically because in his mind, the move was so stupid that you should be allowed to do something stupid like that to counter the movement was his joke, I think. And is running with the dumbbell stupid, John?
Starting point is 00:56:14 Seems pretty functional to me. It's your competition, man. No, I just want to hear your opinion. I think running with a 50-pound weight vest is better than that, but if that's what you want, it is, it is a harder run. I get what you're trying to do. I'm fine with it. So you want me to go spend $3,000 on 50 pound weight?
Starting point is 00:56:31 No, no. And, and that, then that's the choice you made. And I'm fine with it. It's a bit like you, you know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:56:40 I don't think it's, I just don't think it's what you're doing. That's what you're doing. That's what the, that's what your event is. I don't think some workouts in Cross CrossFit are hard to be hard. Where is that gone, dude? There was a workout where you just put sandbags in a wheelbarrow,
Starting point is 00:56:55 and then you wheelbarrowed it to another side and put sandbags over the head. How about this? What's dumb about it? What's one dumb thing about running with a dumbbell? What's dumb about it? It's just hard. about running with a dumbbell? What's dumb about it? It's not meant to be run with. It's bouncing around on your head. No, it's not your head.
Starting point is 00:57:11 Don't put it there. You know, you're going to think he might just have a biased outlook. He might think, why not just run with a 50-pound ruck? And you're like, well, I'm not going to spend that amount of money on a 50-pound ruck. Here's why. No, no, here's why. He doesn't do competitions where they can't do that do that no but i can get no it's not that i can't do that life doesn't always give you a perfectly shaped object for your body john
Starting point is 00:57:33 sometimes you have to move and i don't have a problem with the event but i like that might be where he's coming from i just want one reason why it's dumb Thank you And if we're thinking about something that's dangerous Fucking handstand pushups are way more dangerous Than running with a fucking dumbbell Carry it in the hang then Blow your grip up I just want to hear why it's dumb
Starting point is 00:57:56 If you say you should be carrying a rock No that's just different That doesn't mean the dumbbell is dumb That's just different Just why is it dumb I got really insecure when I saw that No, that's just different. That doesn't mean the dumbbell is dumb. That's just different. Just why is it dumb? I got really insecure when I saw that. I know why it's dumb to fuck the neighbor's wife because he's come over here with a shotgun and kill me.
Starting point is 00:58:13 I know. You didn't get it? I know why it's dumb to pick firefighters based on their genitalia. You know what's funny, Taylor? My first thought about that event was man that would make that event a lot easier for me like i would place a lot better in that than a straight up run right like that that was my first that was my first thought it was like it'll slow really fast people down are you hard as fuck because i don't know dude maybe maybe you are because there were
Starting point is 00:58:43 some guys who are good runners that fucking got clobbered and there was one guy exactly i'm not a good runner hey the one guy who was registered there was one guy who was registered under the john yum barbell club i saw that he's at trips i know i know you know what he did he was he's not a great runner but there are people that were trying to recover on the dumbbell run, and he fucking ran hard as shit and passed like 10 people on the dumbbell run. Yeah, good on him. That's probably the strategy that I would take. I'm not saying I could do it as good as him. Is there anyone in the self-made training program that's higher than the John Young barbell?
Starting point is 00:59:18 He is actually on us. He's on Taylor's. He's on Taylor's. Dude, double I'm talking about that. That fucking guy. He's on Taylor's app. Dude, double charge that douche. Okay, hold on. Let's move on here. Okay.
Starting point is 00:59:30 I want to go to this clip. I saw this clip and this made me want to spit in fucking someone's mouth. Look at this Colton video right here. Like, do not call Colton a muscle hamster. You jackass. I think he likes it. I don't care if he likes it. I don't like it.

Starting point is 01:00:18 Don't give athletes like nicknames that you think that are like cool. Just like call their name unless it's like okay unless i named them even nfl fucking announcers don't really call athletes like oh megatron with a touchdown catch which is give they don't just say the athletes a nickname just say colton mertens bro jonathan you know who would like to be called a muscle uh the the muscle hamster is the hamster that was shoved up richard gear's ass that was chase it was chase who said it oh it wasn't that's what somebody's saying in the comments play it again see if it's here it's definitely not chase it's done and if it is chase it's not done it's your own ranger velner looking to be the next man off the scale.

Someone's paying Danielle Brandon big
Starting point is 01:03:06 money. Yeah, they're being paid a shit ton of money because the athletes keep posting about it. They're either being paid a commission on tickets sold or they're being paid based on some metric like followers or how big they are or whatever. They pick teams.
Starting point is 01:03:22 There's three different teams and they are doing kind of an exhibition team workout against each other. It's like the Invitational, but it's these teams. Yeah, and it'll be much less intense as well, I imagine. It's on the same... It's fucking expensive. I'd say it's crazy money. It's strength and depth owned,
Starting point is 01:03:45 but I, there's a lot of different people involved in it. I think, I kind of think there might be some kind of, uh, equity group involved in strength and depth now too. I feel like someone might've like, so check this out.

I really want to get Annie on and talk to to her would she come on yeah she's on before been on yeah she's been on a couple times i think never thought i would be walking stairs on my hands but now it's becoming a game to find more things to try it's so much fun to continue to challenge yourself damn dude what a beast baby number two hey she will are there are there any modern day games athletes that have competed individual with two babies Beast. Baby number two. Hey, she will... Are there any modern-day games athletes that have competed individual with
Starting point is 01:10:47 two babies? Rich had like fucking eight kids, didn't he? Rich had two kids when he was competing. I don't think it's quite the same, Taylor. I don't think... Ariel Lowen's only got one, right? Come on, bro. Yeah, Ariel's got one.
Starting point is 01:11:02 Why is it not the same, dude? Because he didn't push the children out of his fucking vagina. But men have so much hard work. The shiz, what comes faster? SMTP gear or noble athlete jerseys? Eat a dick, the shiz. That's what's

No, we just dropped merchandise. Oh, you didn't even... Did you pull that up? Yeah, you pulled it up. Sorry. I'm all over the place. LSAD Sport.
Starting point is 01:11:34 How about... Okay, let's go to Hayley Adams. Let's look at Hayley Adams because she was supposed to be paired with Mal O'Brien. What about Hayley? Is Hayley competing next year? Yeah. Charlotte Classic. Miss Adams?
Starting point is 01:11:49 John Young? Confirmed she is. It's confirmed she is. We don't know what she is. Her coach said it on my show last week. You guys don't fucking watch anything I do. I'm trying to get you to plug your show,
Starting point is 01:12:05 Pedro. Yeah, Pedro, plug your show, Pedro. Yeah, Pedro, plug your show. Tell us, what's up with Hayley? Bobby Pods and Wads, what happened? Tell us. Her coach, Hayley Murillo, was on my show last week. Hayley Murillo's her coach now? Yeah. Wow, when did that happen? How did that happen?
Starting point is 01:12:23 She was down, right? Yeah, she so she was down right yeah like she's going to both fecundo's kind of throwing an eye on her programming but hayley and josh are doing most of it and um she was down in los angeles with them i became friendly with them and she uh was asking them who who should i go to and they were like oh have you thought about this person have you thought about this person like you know what about if you just do it this what if you stay with you know like kind of floating ideas and eventually she was just like well what would it look like if you guys coach me because she was getting on so well with them and they were like i guess it would look something like this and then they kind of just
Starting point is 01:13:04 agreed like let's give it a go and see what happens. And Haley was saying, Hey, like her coach, Haley was saying that she's really, really enjoying training and that she's really happy and like, seems really into it. And she's enjoying the process of it,
Starting point is 01:13:18 regardless of what happens. She's like, I actually really fucking like this. Whereas in hindsight, she didn't like it before. Basically. What's your takeaway from what he just said, Taylor?
Starting point is 01:13:29 I think that's amazing. I mean, look, all these athletes to some degree, start CrossFit and fall in love with it. And they're like, fuck, I love this.
Starting point is 01:13:37 I think most of them at the highest level are like running from some demons and use it in that regard, which is fine. And that allows you to succeed really well. But I think the ones who don't ever work on those demons outside of that, like find out that CrossFit is not going to fix it at some point. And you get the rug pulled out from under you. So I think it's really important that she's having fun again.
Starting point is 01:13:57 I'm pretty big on that. Like I like to have fun when I train because I fucking love CrossFit. CrossFit is my favorite thing. Like it's so much fun. Like I want it to be fun when I train because I fucking love CrossFit. CrossFit's my favorite thing. Like, it's so much fun. Like, I want it to be fun, you know? But it can be fun and kick you in the dick at the same time. And you can hurt a lot and still have fun. That is the cutest baby I've ever seen.
Starting point is 01:14:16 I can think of my own kids in that as well. I got a question for you guys. So, Haley Adams' best finish was fifth. And Mal O'Brien's best finish was second. They both come back this year. Who gets closest to that finish? To their own previous best finish, or who finishes better? No, to their own previous best finish.
Starting point is 01:14:35 Who gets closest to that finish? Haley. That's a great question. I don't think Mal comes back. It's a toss-up. No, if they both come back. I still think Haley. Yeah, still. I think it's a salad toss.. No, if they both come back. I still think Haley. Yeah, still.
Starting point is 01:14:46 I think it's a salad toss. Who said Haley doesn't come back? You, Caleb, said that? You think she's done? I said I don't think Mal comes back. Oh, you're crazy. I don't think so. I think it's a toss-up, too.
Starting point is 01:14:58 It's a salad toss for me. I don't know which. I don't know either. I think they're both amazing when they want to be. You dumbass. No one is decent i love heidi heidi is more abrasive than i am and that's hard to do i told you i told heidi at rogue listen laura's gonna win and she was like no she like, she cussed me out about it. And it's like, okay, Heidi, sorry.
Starting point is 01:15:29 Okay. The big story this week is that. Oh, I got it. Bye. Sorry. Morning. Taylor, you want five more minutes? Taylor.
Starting point is 01:15:38 Five more minutes. Okay. Let's do, let's do morning. Chalk up. Fucking camera back up there. No, I'll see you. You want my. You want this? Sorry. Your lens your fucking camera back up there. I know I'll see your car. You don't want my... You want this. Sorry.
Starting point is 01:15:48 Your lens isn't long enough, son. No, no. Tyson's not playing this game. I would say that Tyson's not playing this game. No. Theo's just playing. Okay. Let's bring up...
Starting point is 01:15:59 So, Morning Chalk Up sold. So, what I heard is that two people work there. A guy named Joe and a chick named Emily. Three people. Oh, yeah. And then someone else, a photographer, right? Is that what you heard too, Pedro? No, the social media person.
Starting point is 01:16:16 The photographer left. Ava left last week. Oh, that's who I heard worked there. Okay. So who's the social media person? Is that Katie Gannon? No, she left. I can't remember her name the girl's name a redheaded girl no no it's the blonde like if you're kind of good blondish no no she's not she's married and you're thinking of ava she left she's a photographer she left so so basically is there anybody that's still there?
Starting point is 01:16:46 Those three people. Plus there's two remote people. Oh, they're fucked, dude. Morning Chalk Up's fucked. Hey, maybe... They're done. They sold. They're done. No, I know. Maybe now that LaFuckFace doesn't own it, they'll actually do something good. Oh, no. The guy over at Bar Bend is a total douche.
Starting point is 01:17:01 Really? He sucks hard. Did he not sell barbend to this other company? I thought he didn't own barbend anymore because the guy was named David or whatever. Who? The barbend owner. I thought
Starting point is 01:17:17 he recently sold, but not recently, but in the last 8-12 video. Are you talking about the Asian guy with the fro? Yeah, the whiskey guy. I thought he sold it to someone else. Yeah, I don't know. I thought he was just the editor over there, but he's a McGurk.

It'd be like, this is before I knew anything about anybody. And it would just be Brian Friend featuring John Young. That's what it would be. Dr. Joe? Is that Dr. Joe?
Starting point is 01:19:01 Patrick Clark, they have six or seven writers. I don't believe it. Yeah, pull up Dr. Joe P. Do you want to see his profile picture? Yeah, go to his profile picture. I know what's in his profile picture. What the fuck is this guy doing? One, you're not doing CrossFit.
Starting point is 01:19:13 Two, what is on your face, bro? Is that underwear? Is that a jockstrap? That's the most manly picture I've ever seen. He's nuts. Dude. So we know his back gets blown out because he can't do, he can't axial load.
Starting point is 01:19:26 So he's got a bad back. So he's been getting that back blown out. He's wearing a mask. Come on, man. He can't axial load. I want to see the picture. I want to see if I, I think I've met,
Starting point is 01:19:39 I think I met this guy at the CrossFit games. I met his girlfriend. Oh, he doesn't have a girlfriend. His girlfriend is trans. If he does, dude, she carries that freaking third leg you know i'm trying to have a mask on your profile photo that does look like some like some shit like that guy's gonna get arrested for something they find in his basement i'm sorry but if you are promoting still the fact that you wear a mask i am calling your character into question.
Starting point is 01:20:07 Say what you will about me. Look, people are going to hate the shit out of me for that. I don't care, dude. If you're still promoting wearing usage of a mask after all the fucking data that's come out that it's total bullshit, that even the fucking Wuhan flu itself is bullshit. Joey Aduchi is a freelance writer is this joey dude doc is this dr dr joey no they're no they're two different people different joey uh here's a joey's a uh patrick clark joey's a good dude tegan's as what tegan is as i don't know now we got our joey's conflated i think it's let's just be honest anyone who's wearing a mask in their profile picture
Starting point is 01:20:48 and i'm not saying this when they when it first when everything first douche nozzle yeah you are he's a handsome fella that guy that guy is attractive when everything first came out okay like i there was a a lady who i met um at granite games like the first year i competed who was a judge and she was making masks like hand man I bought one from her and I wore it. And then when the more things started to come out and they were trying to control me more and more and more, I'm like, nah, fuck this. And that's just my personality. I don't blame anyone who like followed the rules when the rules came out. But then at this point where we are now, five whatever i don't know four years later five years later you either know how much all that was bullshit or your head is thoroughly caked in feces from being so far
Starting point is 01:21:32 i just love everything you just said like at this point wait when you said all that dude i gotta bust that out all right i gotta go i gotta eat okay any final thing you want I put on your truck wig when you said all that shit. Dude, I got busted out. All right, I got to go. I got to eat. Okay. Any final thing you want to say about Morning Chaga being bought by Barbed? I haven't ever subscribed to them because they suck, and I'm definitely not going to subscribe now. Fine. I wonder what that even looks like.
Starting point is 01:21:59 What does that mean they bought them? Anyone? They gave LeFranco money and acquired the company. All I know is the barbell spin is not for sale. Ever. Good to know.
Starting point is 01:22:15 Just in case anybody's wondering. Oh, is that why he posted that? I was trying to figure out what that is. Yes, sir. If somebody asked to buy you, what would you say me yeah the seven podcast yeah how much how much five thousand dollars yes see this this this mentality i i find annoying where i had this i had the same conversation with someone else you're on chase i think it's chase said everyone has a price like yes everyone has a price but if like the price not everyone has a price that's based in reality. A reasonable price.
Starting point is 01:23:06 I would sell my show for a million dollars. Who the fuck would pay a million dollars for it? But I wouldn't sell it for less than that because I love doing it. But it's like, yes, I have a price, but it's an unmatchable price that no man or woman in their right mind would fucking pay.
Starting point is 01:23:19 Well, here's the only three things that I can think of that you're buying morning chocolate for. These are the only three things I can think of. It's the email list. That's can think of that you're buying morning chocolate for. These are the only three things I can think of. It's the email list. That's the only fucking thing you're buying it for. Email list, search engine optimization just because they have so much shit published, and...
Starting point is 01:23:37 Fuck, there was a third. Yeah, we need to ask Chase Chase was it were you the person who said Muscle hamster on live air I'm sorry Chase but I'm gonna spit I feel like spitting in your mouth for that Uh Um
Starting point is 01:23:56 Yeah I just can't Yeah maybe it's the email list who knows Oh oh the third thing is Because people go to that website habitually so aren't there's there's people who wake up every morning and check the morning chalk up right still to this day you'll someone will be like to me like i saw in the morning chalk up i'll be like what the fuck god you're like you know like but it's in people's rotation still so those are the three things i think i think it's the it's the people still go there. It's part of their daily rotation. They got it in a fucking bookmark on the top of their browser search engine and email list.
Starting point is 01:24:30 That's the only three things I could think of. Of all the talents, all the talents left. The ownership of Morning Chaka is now in the hands of Barbin. Okay. I just don't care. Is it worth caring about? Michael Halpin. That was Chase. I watched it back.
Starting point is 01:24:58 Here's the reason why. That's a great question. Here's the reason why I care. Two years ago, Morning Chaka was pumping So much fucking energy into the fucking ecosystem And that's gone Everyone only has 12 waking hours Everyone's competing for that time Everyone's time To watch it
Starting point is 01:25:22 And they were in that competition And it was good for everyone And now they're gone that's not good that's not like i don't think that's good for anyone i don't think that's good for crossfit i don't think that's good for any of us i think it was like it was like good like it's like a pinball machine and just like a section of the fucking shit that we would bump onto just fucking left yeah i don't i don't um uh clock uh barbend needs the woke duo of morning chalk of emily beers gabriella cassell to increase their die profile i don't think everything in there was accurate but i understand the sentiment all right um uh here we go
Starting point is 01:26:05 Mike Halpern Mournichak was the only ones writing articles about affiliates and not just the top 20 athletes fair yeah fair enough yeah I was having a talk with someone the other day and they're like man no one does anything on the affiliates that hurt. They said,
Starting point is 01:26:27 that's the man who did two affiliate shows two days. Yeah. I think I did three, maybe totally probably done 50. Oh yeah. At least I've done a couple of hundred, I think affiliates by now. Can we talk about Craig Ritchie going to Vegas?
Starting point is 01:26:42 Oh, sure. Yes. Yes. Yes. Uh, let me pull that up for you. That is a... I don't know. I feel bad.
Starting point is 01:26:52 No! Okay, okay, fine. Oh, Caleb, strong opinions. Let me... I'm kind of just about it myself. Why do you feel bad about it? What's the Craig Ritchie thing so he he's like
Starting point is 01:27:09 rebranded his whole YouTube channel as guys I'm so sad and things have been going so badly and we've lost so much money and I'm broke and look there's cobwebs in my wallet and I don't know what I'm going to do we need your help I'm not asking for your help but we need your help and then hillar made a video saying hey
Starting point is 01:27:29 guys buy buy some of our stuff like support them or whatever and now they have front row seats to the formula one in las vegas they've been via boston where they're designing whoop straps which are going to be sold and they'll get income from that. So fucking poor mouth and then heading off to America. I'm in England staying in a fucking premier inn. I ate the meat out of a Burger King
Starting point is 01:27:57 burger for my dinner. I got a fucking shuttle bus 20 minutes from the airport so that I could get my shit reynold clio rent a car that because it was fucking 10 pounds cheaper than the place beside the airport and he's sitting front row watching verstappen with fucking sitting on a chair made out of money and he's like hey guys my mental health is kind of bad because we're struggling so much for money can you please support us a bit fucking unbelievable he also didn't wear i also look back because i was actually curious
Starting point is 01:28:28 i saw in one of his videos when he's at the whoop factory i was like why does a whoop strap look so weird on his arm i just couldn't something just looked wrong about it that it just looked out of place so i went back and in the previous video entire video training in his house no loop strap but then he goes to HQ he's like oh fuck where is that thing I need to put it on because I'm going there disingenuous it is very weird that it's all
Starting point is 01:28:58 it's all bizarre it's so expensive to go to the corner let me just say this real quick in response to someone at the seven says they don't owe you an explanation for how they spend their money they don't but here's the thing at the point that you suck everyone in with the pity party then you do owe them an explanation probably you don't owe it to them but you'd be smart to give it to them instead of flaunting all your good shit. So a bunch of you guys fell for fucking Hiller's video and sold out.
Starting point is 01:29:34 That's the fucking worst part. I fucking went for Hiller's video. The fact that Hiller made a video at all. Hiller put it out for him. He put his name on that. He said, oh my god, we really got to help this guy. And then a bunch of people go over there
Starting point is 01:29:52 and they fucking help this guy. And he's like, oh, well I got front row tickets to FP1 in Vegas. Which, by the way, is the most expensive ticket of any Formula 1 race across the world. And the shittest Formula 1 race is the most expensive ticket of any formula one race across the world and formula and the shittest formula one race is still fucking expensive i feel like yes there's probably nothing he could have done worse than for his brand because people see that why would anybody buy
Starting point is 01:30:17 anything that he has now people are goldfish john they'll forget the other videos like he he he made a video got really big engagement. He was like, oh, fuck. People like when I'm sad and have no money. I'm going to make more of these. And now he's like, hey, look at this shit. We're over in Vegas. That'll get loads of engagement. Remember when he talked about how he made a loss coming back from the CrossFit Games?
Starting point is 01:30:38 Yeah. He did the exact same thing this time. Oh, shit. Because it's working. Exactly. Because it's working. because it's working do you know why exactly because it's working do you know what the difference the difference between me and him is there's a lot of differences but i was thinking about this earlier on i will never in my entire life fly first pass on a plane you're missing he will he will never for the rest of his life fly coach and he can say he's poor and he can say he's struggling
Starting point is 01:31:07 I love my life, don't get me wrong I wouldn't change a thing about my life, I love it but I just cannot sit and listen to someone complain while sitting in champagne in first class going to Boston and Vegas being like oh guys we're so struggling and I'm sitting with my fucking knees in my nose on Air English.
Starting point is 01:31:26 Why do you feel bad for him then, Savon? PC, this isn't true, by the way. His wife got these tickets for him and they got him. She put that together. That was not a sponsor thing. Here's the thing.
Starting point is 01:31:41 At the point that you start making your finances open like that, the way he did, like the poor me story, and then the next week, you might have been able to... It would have been smart to say, holy shit, thank you so much, guys. Sales skyrocketed after my poor me story.
Starting point is 01:31:56 Is there someone in the shower behind you, John? Yeah, it looks like there is. No, my wife just got home from work Or from the gym She got home from the gym That's why I muted myself to the dog Because the dogs were about to bark I thought that was like a shower door
Starting point is 01:32:12 I saw someone's arm or something It looked scary Like just some random person passed The behind the scenes is coming out Right after Craig Ritchie is able to make his next mortgage payment. The next time he flies, coach. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:32:31 Next time I fly, coach. Fuck that. Craig, I have no problem with you flying first class. I guess I feel sorry for him because at this point it's just become retarded. It's like imbecile shit. really dude just last week you were playing your fucking violin your sorrow and like you were in your backyard i don't normally
Starting point is 01:32:50 make videos like this and like you people people in the chat are like dude is this guy need to be on suicide watch and then a week later he's at f1 with no explanation. I don't know. At some point, it's just like kicking Sporty Beth. It's just like... It's pathetic. It is pathetic. It is pathetic. Yeah, that's pretty... I don't like that.
Starting point is 01:33:17 I didn't know about that until just now. He just needs to say... I mean, I don't want the guy to end his life, but if you're going to open the door door you better start explaining a lot of shit even the stuff that he said was like and like i get it it's hard to talk about it whatever but the stuff he was saying was so nothing like he's just like i'm just sad i just feel sad like that's all he was saying and then like fucking views cranking up through the roof while he's buckling his fucking velvet seatbelt on his first class flight do you know what i mean it's just fucking annoying like i just peter you're never gonna go ahead no you go ahead
Starting point is 01:33:56 are you on the podcast where they were talking about um jobs at headquarters and i and i was like hey crossfit all i need is fifty thousand dollars a year and i'll come do whatever you want and then everybody made fun of me for that number they were like that's all that's all like i was like i'll be on cloud nine that's all i need to make and then everybody like trashed me i'm in the same boat i'd be like fifty thousand dollars i'd be like that sounds like a really good uh payment year. Everybody was upset at me. This is some breaking news. I don't know if I can give the source.
Starting point is 01:34:37 But they traded, Barben traded a Monopoly get-out-of-jail-free card to lefranco in exchange for the morning chaga wow dude that's a deep joke that's nuance there's layers to that as i say i need to know the layers i need to know there's layers to that there's fucking layers to that uh wanna love um uh freaking hillar help them i'm sure hillar will get his karma back hillar's very giving and blessing people just because he has a good heart what goes around eventually comes around oh i have no i judge i judge myself i don't judge hillar i judge myself for being like yeah do you know what i'm gonna fucking buy something
Starting point is 01:35:24 i'm a fucking idiot Clock I'll step up and defend poor Craig Ritchie it's the off season in Vegas which is why they schedule F1 so the rooms are probably cheap and at most they had to pay for tickets he probably only spent half the money you assholes wasted on sweaters last week
Starting point is 01:35:43 that's probably why he posted the video because he's like damn we gotta pay for this trip to the Formula 1 race half the money you assholes wasted on sweaters last week. That's probably why he posted the video because he's like, damn, we've got to pay for this trip to the Formula 1 race. And while they're over there, they're promoting their Christmas range that's launching next week and it's the biggest we've ever done or whatever.
Starting point is 01:35:59 Part of it is probably because I'm doing a pre-sale that's going terribly so I'm like, fuck those guys with all their money and they're over in Vegas and they're launching another fucking clothing range next week. That's probably part of it too, to be fair. Clothing range?
Starting point is 01:36:16 Like, drop. Thank you. Someone translate when he says that stuff, when Pedro says that stuff. I'll get more Irish when I'm angry, I think. New drop coming soon. All right. Tomorrow morning, there will be no show.
Starting point is 01:36:31 John, thanks for coming on. Pedro, thanks for coming on. Caleb, Taylor. Tomorrow, you can stay up to speed on the Charlotte Classic through Instagram. I'm going to CrossFit Livermore tomorrow morning to work out with my mom for Sousa's 10-year anniversary. And Caleb is going to go in the other room and explain to his wife that Sevan didn't mean it.
Starting point is 01:36:55 He loves female firefighters. Oh, can I just say before we go? Please. You said at the start about comments on this and the culture and stuff on this. This is actually funny. It's kind of sad but also kind of good um there's so i've by proxy leeched off some of this community just by being around like through osmosis or whatever um but i i've done like clothes and stuff before just because i want a t-shirt with my logo on
Starting point is 01:37:27 it and stuff basically and before i did uh i did one through vindicate and i was like this would be great like i i will forever feel bad about what i did to travis with that pre-sale because it's fucking terrible and like nobody bought anything but it was just too soon but now historically it's always been like 95 percent island of ireland people buying stuff being like ah the poor fella will support them what's the website coffeepodsandwads.com and one or two people in america and maybe one or two people in the uk and a couple of people in aust or whatever will buy stuff. This time two purchases have come from the island of Ireland
Starting point is 01:38:09 and one purchase from UK and every other purchase is from America. Oh wow. And purely because of the growth I've experienced from being involved with this show and the group and stuff. Yeah, it's a good group, right?
Starting point is 01:38:25 That's awesome. It's cool. Who's doing this? Everyone, every local pickup. Hey, everyone's having your house, Pedro. Everyone. Whose website is this? And Caleb, is this you? No. Yes, maybe.
Starting point is 01:38:43 Oh, man, the fucking shipping rate is so low I'm going to be absolutely shafted. By the way, you said you would send me some stuff Pedro, and I never got it. I texted you my address. Dude, he can't afford to send you shit to your house. You fucking live in the middle of nowhere. It's triple cost from there.
Starting point is 01:38:59 Your stuff I got here either, Savant. I gave up. You're wearing some of the stuff on your head now, John, that Savant sent you. I didn't send you stuff because you were going to Rogue and Caleb was supposed to give you some patches at Rogue. Ah.
Starting point is 01:39:15 That's therein lies the problem. Mike Halpin, I may have one of those. May have one of those OG coffee wads and pods Alright thank you Congratulations to everyone
Starting point is 01:39:30 And their success Keep it up Always a pleasure Bye bye Thanks guys
