Bam, we're live. Here I am all alone. No Caleb, no Hiller, no Souza, no alone. No Caleb. No Hiller. No Sousa. No Taylor. Just Seve and his thoughts
about Standee's...Standee's deceased 32F left alone. Oh no, Caleb's here with me. Caleb.
Good morning.
First thought this morning.
It's cold as fuck in here.
I love my kids.
I went and rubbed their backs, gave them a kiss, told them I loved them.
They don't even move. They're dead asleep.
Second thought.
Stanties titties.
32F.
John.
What a glorious masterpiece. Just removed from this world right a salam a slum a lake of my niggas
This is my nigga Pat Caleb do you have heat in your house house?
Isn't a fucking tin can dude that they call motor home. That's true. I have a space heater at my feet. It's not really doing anything though.
Today, what a Palooza. Good luck to Patrick Clark and Brian friend. Big
undertaking today. They got a lot going on. I wish them luck. I wish Bill
Grundler and chasing them. Look, everyone over there who's doing that. It's a
great job. It's a it's a new era. This is you know, those guys could use everyone
over there could use all the support they can get. It's a new era. This is, you know, those guys could use, everyone over there could use all the support they
can get.
It's a big undertaking to do a live stream.
A lot of shit can go wrong.
It's stressful.
Yeah, they got a lot of locations to cover too, right?
I'm not sure how, that's a good question.
I'm not sure how that works a lot of places, but the guy who's been, the guy who's the
staple in the field, Charlie Doobie is like world class at it.
I mean, he's amazing.
And, um, I don't know exactly what happened, but I'm guessing he just got priced out. He's got all the good gear and as the economy slumps and things are all twisted
up, um, people are looking for cheaper and cheaper ways to stream.
And, uh, you know, people are slipping in with smaller setups, lesser equipment, and it's
a big challenge.
Yeah, I see their first issue is getting the exposure right on the gauntlet.
Oh, so are Chase and Bill up right now?
Are they doing a preview show?
I don't know.
I haven't found the preview
show but the gauntlet is going live is being live streamed right now Mr. dragons hi as
a hater you are always welcome here but you're not allowed to talk about boobs that's the
only the misogynistic regulars talk about boob I'm sorry Stay in your lane, buddy. You're here. Just to hate. Thank you
Heidi
You know, no one ever talks about the fact that Heidi lives in everyone's head rent-free
Which I don't think is a bad thing. I've started to think that that's a compliment
I think so people for everyone to compliment for the people who lives for a rent-free
comment for the people who you know
It's just nice to have her on my mind every once in a while, you know,
what an angel just to think about her.
How wonderful she is.
Okay.
Caleb was loving on you, Heidi saying how cool you are and how funny you
are the other day off the air.
I guess this is true.
You are funny as shit.
They, uh, so the live stream, they have the gauntlet live streaming, but
they're
Haven't started the like day one elite stream yet. So
What is the gauntlet? What is that? Is that are those real? Those are like real CrossFit athletes
No, just affiliate members that want to do something while they're there. I think
Mr. Dragon dude, I'm always here. I just don't suck you off like everyone. That sucks.
You don't have to suck him off just to...
Hope we can schedule a blowjob sometime.
Ather and Flora's out, we'll be calling Brian Spins soon to find out all the details about
that, what we know about both of them pulling out.
Bethany did release a video last night, She said it was a video she wants to
learn how to she wants to keep practicing talking to the camera and one
of the things she released at the one minute mark maybe we can pull that up
one minute mark sure and we'll talk about her leaving. We'll also pull up the
workout. Caleb and I will give you our picks.
Make sure you go over to the Heat One app.
The Heat One app, make sure you got your picks.
If you picked Adler or Bethany to win event one or you had them as something
that's called a flex pick, make sure you make that adjustment.
This is let's listen to Bethany Flores talk about her not doing the event.
It looks like she's at home.
So it looks like maybe she didn't even go to Florida.
Yeah.
Good point.
I didn't even think.
I thought she was at a coffee shop.
Can we get a tutorial on Heat 1?
No.
Go ahead.
If you go back to last night's show, we did one.
Yeah, there you go.
I've chosen to sadly not do water poloza or even go out there. And that wasn't just a decision that I made
overnight. It was a decision that I sat with for a really long time and just wait out my pros and
cons about, I don't know, just trying to be a little bit more proactive with making sure that
I'm staying kind to myself. I think this year is going to be a lot busier. I don't
know. I'm just trying to be a little bit more proactive with making sure that I'm staying
kind to myself. I think this year is going to be a lot busier. It's going to take a lot
more intentionality. It's going to take a lot more just being thoughtful about what I'm actually saying
yes to and no to.
And that's something I've been really working on the last couple of years.
But I can get all I can think about is that lady who's saying no to doggy style
when she's on all four.
That show is never going to leave.
That show is going to take at least a month to wear to
To forget about yeah that show was that show kind of
Traumatized me yesterday because I thought that everyone would agree with me And I felt like it was like 50% of the people didn't agree with me including you. Oh, it's more than 50% Oh stop
You have to be kind to yourself, Settlon.
I guarantee you, Mr. Dragon here loves to see a girl on all four with huge draping titties
bouncing around.
Dragon, you got my back on that?
I don't know.
Jenny, they're being kind to themselves, but they also want more opportunities to compete.
Damn. I'm so sick of narcissistic self-absorbed people. Well, then this show is not for you.
Wow. I will ask Adrian if he prefers. It's not that I prefer big tits. I don't know if that's what you're suggesting
Okay, let's keep going a little bit more with miss Flores
Stop in my track right now before the whole season has begun with my back
Okay, just allowing I never mind. Never mind. It goes into a whole abstract back thing. Okay
My back is just I just it's never always I mean
sometimes I have I mean there's just like it's just really I mean sometimes
hard look at mr. dragon and I agree all right another strong correlate that a
strong piece of evidence that I'm a black guy because black guys like all
tits that should be that that should be a song that I'm a black guy because black guys like all tits
That should be that that should be a song that should be a book children's book. Oh
Yeah, yeah black guys like all tits
You gotta get a better title
Yeah, look at we are dudes. I
Think white guys are 20% woman what I don't know I the Just retire back injuries almost never fully healed. Just do only fans. I'll sign up man, I
She's been doing this for as long as ever like she's been having this problem. So I just
What's the point?
Like just go do bodybuilding or something again
Uh, that's not true sevi, uh, I don't like all tits listen, uh, then we'll pull your black card
It's easy as that.
Wow. It's gonna be like that, huh?
Man, I wouldn't die on this hill.
It's just crazy. It's just crazy.
You guys are like a... you guys just need to be smacked around a little bit.
You're like a pinball machine and one of the balls is like stuck somewhere somewhere it just needs to be banged on until it falls out and you're like
oh yeah tilt it yeah
uh i got a story i can't tell you the whole story but i walked into the erotic exotic ball
as a kid erotic exotic ball is uh he used to be called the hooker's ball in San Francisco.
I've told this story before.
I haven't told it in a long time.
Rottick Exotic Ball.
Yeah, it's in Halloween.
And the origins of it are the prostitutes in San Francisco used to do this ball every
year where they would throw a huge Halloween party and they would raise money and give
it to orphans.
And then it changed from the hooker's ball to the Rottick Exotic Ball.
And I think I was 20.
I don't think I was even old enough to drink.
And I walked into the Roddick exotic ball with a bunch of friends.
I was super drunk.
That's the place.
You know, the story I told you about when I peed in that trash can.
And before I was done peeing, there were 20 dudes all fucking hip to hip peeing.
And then I came back a few minutes later and it was a huge trash can
filled to the top with pee.
Yes.
Yes. What was that ball? But when I walked in there,
the first thing I did is I saw these huge set of tits and I just went over and stuck my face in them.
As one does at the age of erotic exotic ball.
And I don't want to tell too much what happened after that. I've never shared that story, but
basically one of my friends had to come
over and like pull me away and be like, Hey, that's a dude.
Oh man.
I've got a little tranny experience.
Little.
I mean, I have more than that.
I have more tranny stories than that, I think I maybe even said so what?
Really? I don't know. You were probably that blitzed. You were like fuck it dude.
I always see those pictures of like marines in Vietnam or Japan or whatever and they
Meet up with some lady like they're at a bar. There's some lady boy there that like obviously very much looks like a woman
Yeah, there are some sweet pieces of a tranny ass in Thailand. It's crazy. I know it's crazy
And then the bartender who doesn't speak English will like put in Google Translate on his phone
That's a dude and then show it to his friend and then his friend will just pan over to the screen and then go to his
Friend and his friends just like nuzzled up in her neck kind of thing
Dude you're gonna have a rude awakening
As seve does when he meets you in person at the game
Yeah, just run right over to see him. I put my face on just listen
I'm trying to heal from my previous injury. I have trauma. I did have trauma from that. I
Mean it's impossible not to with Seema. Honestly, I had a little bit of trauma from that. I mean it's impossible not to with Seema honestly. I had a little bit of trauma from that
We had a
We had a friend over
recently to the house who has
Huge tits and she hung out for like three days
And every time I hugged her I squeezed her so tight. I told my wife I was gonna do it
She's like yeah, I don't blame you. I will too. Yeah, you know
She wore these big thick sweaters
Don't I hate when I do that I didn't it was and I just kept rubbing the sweater I'm like, this is really nice sweater
Now look at my wife
Now look at my wife
Later oh my tits are so big. I don't even know whose tits. I'm feeling when I hug someone like are those my tits or her tits?
All right, let's pull up the workout enough of this nonsense. This is a serious show.
What does this mean? Over the nipple? Did you rub the sweater over the nipple?
No, no, no, no. Just the back. I'm not a pervert.
Is this considered... No, this isn't it. God damn it.
Yeah, I'm okay with that's being asked being
higher on the food chain than tits.
I'm fine with that.
I grab at I grab my way.
So that's every day.
They go a handful.
Event one's coming up.
Everyone's picking on the heat one app. Everyone is picking James
Sprague. It has a shitload of step ups in it. And he won he won that at the games. Is that why?
Yeah, for this man in the world and and you have to really be honest,
James has been looking absolutely savage on IG and in the no reps competitions.
Oh yeah.
He looks really good.
I mean, and then he came on to kill Taylor and just smoked him.
Yeah.
By a minute, right?
By a significant margin.
Yeah.
It was, it was pretty wild.
Like handedly.
And then didn't even look like he was tired when he was done.
Yeah.
Nope.
I don't touch the fart box at all. No
tongue in the fart box. I don't look at the fart box. I don't, um, nothing. Think
about the fart box. I can send you a link. I think I have it up somewhere. Let me see.
Oh, I can't even pull it up. Look at Caleb. Oh, he's your starling. Beat you.
Got it.
Yeah, you got it.
Uh, two rounds for time.
Round ones with a vest round two is without a vest.
God, this is complicated.
Hmm.
And when they say vest, you think that's 20 pounds?
Yeah. You, I think usually it's like 14 and 20 like 14 for the ladies and 20
for the dudes unless they just went 20 across the board 50 cows on the bike I
think like world record speeds for that or sub minute right sub even 40 seconds
didn't someone do 38 seconds yeah I think with the the rogue when the rogue
puts on that 50 cal challenge or whatever. It's usually sub 30 or something
So these guys imagine 45 seconds really it's sub 30 the world record for that. I think so. It's something insane
It's just some massive like strongman guy. I think or a wrestler. I couldn't remember which one
So they get on the bike they'll crush it we need like JR or someone here knows what the fuck they're doing figuring this out
But let's say a minute there, right?
Did you send a link out two minutes? Oh, no, I didn't send a link but no one it's so weird
I remember I remember when I being invited on my show was like this shit
How it's like now it's like I'm busy. You're all sending the link out. I got it
Oh perfect Oh on the link. I got it. Um, oh, perfect. Oh, I guess on the live stream you can hear them.
Uh, uh, it's kind of like a behind the scenes live stream right now. You can hear people
talking and shit. That's cool. Yeah. It's probably on the gauntlet. I like that stuff. I hope I hope we can hear Brian yelling at people.
Okay, 50 cal.
Where's my screen or should I lost my screen?
Oh, there it is.
Okay.
So 50 cows on the assault bike.
Throw some times out there that you think we're going to get.
You think it's more like two minutes since it's a workout?
Or you think it's still some really crazy fast times?
I think under two minutes, how about that?
Maybe like 90 seconds for 50 cows.
90 seconds and then 1000 meter run.
What's that?
1000 meters is, 1600 meters is a mile.
So half mile run.
So we'll say five minutes for that or four minutes three minutes four minutes four minutes
okay four minutes a little more than a half mile and then 150 box step up
jump overs those are like jump overs those are two are those two seconds a
piece probably a little maybe a little more I would say three or four seconds a
piece okay let's say three okay so 300 plus 150 450 seconds divided by so that's
seven minutes of that hmm that what is that is that what 450 seconds is about seven minutes and 30
seconds so we'll say seven minutes of that
so now we're at eight uh okay and then and then the second uh cows we'll go to
two minutes or three minutes even well it's without
a vest this one i don't well i don't think it'll matter
too much for a biking but
What do you think two minutes two minutes, yeah, okay, so we'll go to uh
Two minutes and then um, and then the run should we uh stick with four minutes again?
Sure. Yeah
Okay, and then the step ups will add a minute. We'll go to eight minutes
Because they won't have the vest.
Okay, so that's a total of, let me see, 15 minutes plus eight minutes is 23 minutes,
24 and a half minutes plus two minutes is 26 and a half minutes with a time cap of 35 minutes.
A great question, is the run in the sand. That's a great question.
I don't know.
Oh yeah. The, the, um, uh, Brian and Patrick Clark will be doing their first
foray into, uh, live streaming an event.
They have a big challenge ahead of them. This is going to be tough.
And I, and I heard it's very wet there. I was looking at some footage, uh,
the paper street coffee was showing yesterday and, uh, it looks like it's very wet there. I was looking at some footage that Paper Street Coffee was showing yesterday and
It looks like it's very wet there
Speaking of which, Paper Street Coffee is there at the event
And if you're there make sure you go by Gabe's booth and say hi
The lines are gonna be very long because it's cold there and everyone's gonna want a cup of coffee
Yay. Okay.
So who's going to win that?
On the men's side, I'll tell you who we have in the John Young Jr.
Who's the other person?
Tyler Watt?
No, Bryson Del Monte.
They said the best athletes there are Pat Velner, Jeff Adler, Ricky Gerard, Austin Hatfield,
Yonakoski and James Sprague.
I picked Ricky Garard for that.
Um, but I think a lot of people also think, Oh, and Jeff Adler's gone.
Oh yeah.
Uh, I think a lot of people think, um, but, but Austin Hatfield did great
at the, uh, step ups too, didn't he take second?
Yeah, I did, but it was, that was just step ups and it was only, I mean,
there's a pretty substantial run in there with the vest.
I cut. Yeah, I don't know. I think James Sprague would probably do pretty well.
I'm assuming that Brian will be, someone said, what will Brian be doing?
I'm assuming Brian will be running around,
making sure everything's working while chase and bill, uh, do the commentating.
Is Adler out for
team as well good question
Well, let's ask spin all of that but adler and flores are definitely out for individual
and flores is out for uh she's not even there and then uh and then down below uh anola kai
will be there travis mayer travis mayer's great on the, uh, on, on the run and the bike also,
right? Uh, Luke Parker is there. He should do great on the run and the bike. Yeah. Uh,
long workout. Gimel Harris. Probably this won't be his not known for his, um, efforts
in the long. Yeah. Good, good monies on James break. I'm still going to go through key.
Gerard, who do you got? I think James, I'm going with James. Okay. And on the female side,
the top athletes are Laura Horvath, Ariel Lohan, Alexis Raptis, Brooke Wells. Brooke Wells does
not ride a bike so good. She looks funny as fuck on a bike. She looks like it kind of exposes her
lack of athleticism. You ever, you ever gone bike riding with someone and they think
it's just like pushing down and it's just a quad workout. Yeah. I don't realize that
it goes around in a circle or just push down, push down, push down. Yeah. That's how she
looks when she's on a bike. Hmm. Yeah. I don't think she'll do super well on this. Yeah.
I don't, I don't think she is either. Uh, Emily R think she is either. Emily Rolfe, Lucy
Camel, Danny Spiegel, Erica Folow, Fuliano, Kringle. You know who might
do well on the run and the step-ups is Chloe.
Abigail Domet. It's a grinder. Lydia Fish will be there. It's a
grinder. You know some people say she's small and the bike could give her some trouble. But she can grind.
Yeah, I don't... I think she would do pretty well. I don't think she'll win it. But Emily Rolfe, I think. I've got her down. I think that she would do really well on this one.
Okay. Caleb's got Emily Rolfe. And I'll go with, I'm gonna go with Raptus.
Oh really?
Yeah.
Okay.
I'm on the Raptus train this weekend.
You're just gonna pick her across the board?
You know, maybe.
She's pretty good stud.
Yeah, I've seen glimmers not this last year, but the year before I just saw glimmers of you know world-class crossfitter oh yeah absolutely I started thinking holy shit
maybe she'll be maybe she'll win the games one year a barbell spin what about
Pinero yeah she probably top five for sure you know she's just she's I think
the run I think that she's built like a statue I think the run, I think that she, she's built like a statue. I think the run's going to give her some problem.
I think Pinero's body takes on a lot, uh,
requires a lot of oxygen to go.
Oh, you think so?
A lot.
It's not a lot of oxygen down there in Miami. It's just a lot of water.
I don't know if I love her rack.
I don't know.
You really, really?
Yeah, really?
I know.
I know.
I know.
Because
cause I like they need to be gushy.
Titties need to be gushy.
And those things to me look like rocks.
Like if you feel them, like they feel like feel like D balls for slam balls. Yeah it's a slam
ball on a pec. Yeah I don't know. Yeah I get that. I'm open I'm open I'm open but
I'm but I'm not you know what I seriously you know what I you know you
ever seen a D ball when it gets left outside and
It turns hard and it never gets it's never soft again
It never get it just turns into a rock like they'll be a dent
You know what I mean like an HQ we had 40 D balls and someone left them all outside and they all just turned into
Paperweights
Stones atlas stones they turn into atlas stones. Yeah I don't want I don't I don't need any tautness in my tits. No, is that a word tautness?
I don't want to be a tautness.
I don't want to be a tautness.
I don't want to be a tautness.
I don't want to be a tautness.
I don't want to be a tautness.
I don't want to be a tautness.
I don't want to be a tautness.
I don't want to be a tautness.
I don't want to be a tautness. I don't want to be a tautness. I don't want I don't I don't need any tautness in my tits
No, is that a word tautness? I don't want my tits to be taut
There you go. Okay. I don't think tautness is a word. I like well bro boobs are like
Shoes they need to be broken in. Oh
Wow tautness is a word
The quality of being tight or completely stretched
Ta ut n e s s yeah, I don't I don't want I
Want taughtness I like I like boobs, you know after like the third child
What like three like a woman who's had three children, oh
You know, they've been expanded and contracted and expand. That's the ones I like. Yeah. Yeah
It's like like the ones after a woman's had twins they're just like absurd. Yeah, although
Cutting board fell although I did although it was pretty crazy when my wife was pregnant
They got so crazy, big and tall.
Oh my God, pregnant boobs are crazy.
They don't even look real.
They look like fake boobs.
Yep, maybe Ms. Egbert should write the children's book
with lyrics like that.
Swinging to and fro.
To and fro, that's a good term.
All right, so we have our picks in can we take a peek at their live stream see what's going on over there? Yeah
What will happen is is they'll do the event and then we'll have 25 minutes to do to go over
We'll come back live
And we'll give you our picks for the ocean drive drag race. Oh
Cool they got commercials
That was my ads
Okay, so there's the gauntlet. Oh, oh it is a little blown out. Yeah
Every like every camera is like that.
God, it's lush.
Have they been going between cameras?
Yeah.
Swapped around a little bit.
They have a long range shot.
This is the community event?
Yeah.
Okay.
Did Boz pull out or what?
No, Boz will be here. He's just coming on at
6.50. He's just coming on for a quick second.
I want to ask Boz about this community event thing.
It's a lot of sand.
It's a lot of sand.
There's a lot of sand.
And let me give Brian Spin a call and let's find out what happened to...
Let me find out what happened to Adler here.
Brian Spin. Do you even know his real last name?
No. Yeah, me neither. I don't even I don't even know him.
Yeah. I don't even know him. Hey, Mr. Spin. Hello. Hello. Caleb doesn't even know you.
He doesn't know.
Hey, Bethany Flores pulling out sounded like she knew she was going to pull out.
She had that video ready last night.
And I'm guessing it wasn't a last minute decision.
Have you got any
updates on that? She's not team either. She said she's not even in Florida?
No, she's out in California, has not ever left. I kind of expected it. She had
mentioned I think a few weeks ago that she is dealing with some back issues. So
first red flag just given an offseason competition that she would not make the trip out.
And so I didn't even put her in my top 10 of heat one and I was correct.
Oh well done. And Adler, we're hearing Adler has pulled out of individual. Is he still going team?
He's still on the team roster.
Uh, everything that I had heard leading up to his official withdrawal was that
he was only going to withdraw out of individual.
And do we have a reason?
I've heard like three different reasons.
Uh, not sure which one's accurate.
First one is Caroline put a, uh, story up a few days ago and it showed like a humidifier
of him watching, like watching hockey and there's a humidifier in the room.
So possibly he was getting over some sickness and just didn't want to go individual.
Uh, John Young is saying that he's scared of Austin Hatfield.
Oh, okay.
And he decided not of Austin Hatfield. Oh, okay.
And he decided not to compete.
Okay.
The third one, it doesn't sound as accurate, but you never know.
I heard that he's kind of mad that Caroline did not invite him to your birthday party.
She used two other people who were given the plus two.
And the plus two.
So that was like maybe just like emotionally that hit him in the emotions in the feels. Yeah, I think so
I mean, I'm not really doubt. I mean, I think it's greater than zero percent chance, but it's probably the least likely um
It's interesting there's this virus going around it's called like the norovirus or something people are shitting and puking
It's like a 24-hour virus. Oh, here we go. Hold on a second. Is that in Miami? Oh, hold on a second. Go ahead and play that
Caleb. Let's hear the audio on that.
How's the weather right now?
It's raining.
Okay. So they're there. Caroline and him are there. They said it's raining. Caleb's going through their stories on their Instagram.
Caroline's got a picture of her and Charles May.
Adler with Velner in the sign up room. Looks like a registration room.
All right. Okay.
So they're there.
I think, I think sickness is probably a good, a good call and that will give them a couple
of extra days to heal up, but it is $75,000.
Yeah.
I mean, the workouts did line up well for him. I mean, but I think with him out though, I do think it will be a very, it could be very
interesting between Austin Hatfield, Ricky Gerard and Pat Belger.
All right.
All right.
Any other news?
Anything?
Any other updates on what's going on there?
Yeah, yesterday it was definitely was raining there. I watched a story that Gabe at Paper Street Coffee put up, and you could see the rain
in the video.
Any other stories there, coming out of there?
I mean, no.
I think it's going to be a little chilly out most of the weekend.
I think Saturday is probably the best outlook with some more sun, but I think overcast 50s, 60s,
not exactly what you'd expect out of Miami beach,
but it's still better than most of the country
that's freezing right now.
And are you guys doing a spin cast,
a simultaneous, a simulcast while they're streaming?
Will you and John and Tyler be doing a casting?
No, we, Tyler had some stuff come up and uh just not able to pull it off this
this weekend okay so not at all so no but uh i'll be on i'll be on the
review shows oh okay awesome thank you i i appreciate it i could use you for that
and because no one signed up all week and And, um, and I'm assuming, uh,
will we still be able to go to barbell spin, uh, Instagram and.com for all the
latest news. Will you be updating both those accounts?
Exactly. Yeah. I mean, without doing the, the,
the spin cast a lot more time to keep updated on, on some of that stuff via
Instagram and the website.
Okay. And I know this is a personal question,
but where are you going right now?
Why aren't you in front of a TV
getting ready to watch the stream?
I had to drop the boys off to their tutorial this morning.
So-
Oh, life goes on.
Drop them off, head back home, and I'll turn it back home.
Are you pretty excited about the 30,000?
How many kids do you have?
Got two.
Are you excited about the $20,000
in deductions you're gonna gonna get did you see that?
$10,000 per child Trump's gonna give to homeschoolers. I
have not seen that yet, but I I that sounds great. Yeah $10,000 per kid and
Yeah, it's pretty awesome. I
Yeah, I'll be using that for sure awesome. All right, brother. Thank you and I hope to see you later on today on the 7 podcast
Absolutely will be there. Okay, Joe
All right, so there's that update
The event that one does kick off in 26 minutes. What did you see the gauntlet was again Caleb? That's for the community
Yeah, it's just anybody that wants to work out during while they watch the event or during the event while they're in town
It's just I think you usually just sign up for a time
And you can just show up and do the workout. They'll just like three two one go
everybody all at once and
They have like ten lanes and they just kind of just push people through it
Usually it's like an hour long where they'll do.
It looks like I'm looking at right now.
It looks like they have five workouts and I think you get a time cap every 10 minutes or something like that.
And, uh, it just equals out to an hour.
And that's what, um, yeah, I was going to say, okay, that's what Hiller did one year. Yep. and it just equals out to an hour.
Yeah, I was gonna say, okay, that's what Hiller did one year. Yep, Hiller did that.
I used to cover it just as like medical coverage
and it was like, it looked like it sucked pretty bad.
And is there a prize for that?
I think so.
Maybe like a rogue gift card or something.
It's really just more for fun, but I think they do keep track.
Okay.
Um, I'm going to queue up, uh, behind the scenes, episode two.
So when Adrian comes, I can show him the part where he kicked me out
Okay, I got it our bell sent barbell spin says hopefully the prize is exclusive swag yeah, I saw
Some world fitness projects stuff floating around. So maybe they'll give some to the gauntlet to pass out
Let's call Andrew and see. I believe he's there.
He'll be hosting the note reps event.
Which will have down Pepper and Jason.
Oh yeah, we could send gable link also.
What's up?
This is Andrew Hiller.
If you do not text me, I will not be calling you back.
If you cannot text me
You're probably not real or you don't actually want to talk to me. Bye. You're probably not real
Okay
I am real. How many phone calls does this guy get at you?
Although I don't I don't want anyone leaving me a message. I never check for messages. I hate when they do that
Yeah, don't leave me a message. Just send me a text. Yeah
Send me a Danny douche
douche canoe Oh
Even more brutal I'm about to copy that voicemail. I
Had some I didn't realize it but I had my phone set up to like an Australian Siri voice
and so like somebody heard my voicemail recording and
Then it turns to their voicemail and they it's just them laughing for like 10 seconds and then they're like, sorry
I
Didn't realize that I didn't notice or whatever. I thought that it was hilarious that you had an Australian voicemail.
You can have, you can have an automated voicemail.
You can have Siri make one for you.
Yeah.
Oh, that's what it is normally unless you make it yourself.
Oh, I didn't even know that.
Yeah.
If you talk to Siri on your, is it still Australian?
If you talk to Siri on your phone right now, does she talk back in Australian?
Yeah, I think so.
Ask her how old she is or something.
Siri, how old are you?
Well, I first appeared in 2011 and I get updates all the time, so I suppose you could say I'm confused.
Yeah.
Wow. God, I love getting DMs from people in Australia. I got a DM yesterday from someone in Australia and they're like, hey, dude, you don't even know how fucked it is here
It's so bad. I hope the Trump effect comes here. I was like really thank you. Yeah
For some reason that makes me so happy. Oh
Did you see the text we just got yeah, I'm watching it right now, okay, can we pull that up and watch that I
Do it I don't know how
Mail Siri sus I agree. I didn't want to I didn't want to call Caleb out on that but a mail series
Why is that sus? It's just gay, dude
Okay. All right. That's it
That's why I don't tell you guys
Let you guard down for a second, okay, here we go. This is from who knows who okay. Here we go
It does look wet, right
Yeah that yeah. Yeah, it does and and that sand does look packed pretty yeah. Yeah, it does.
And that sand does look packed pretty hard.
Yeah, it does.
Judges meeting.
Yeah.
It's a lot of judges.
All right.
I thought this chick's hair was pink for a second, but then I realized it's this retarded filter that they use
It's the lib filter
Turn it whatever this whatever that is
It looks wet and cold and not
Men shouldn't take driving directions from women. Well, there you go. You got she got your back. That's actually
There's only one woman i'll take driving directions from and it's my wife
We were driving with this 15 passenger van in the middle of orlando
With all of my family and her family and I wouldn't let anybody else navigate but my wife
Uh sebon, what's the mystery hold up with the behind-the-scenes release Dave not approve something in episodes? No, it's not like that
And there isn't a whole there isn't a whole that we're still working out
We're putting a big fat QR code in the in the beginning for people to sign up for the open
But I'm not comfortable saying exactly what's going on yet. Uh,
but, but, but it's, it's nothing, it's nothing, it's nothing bad. Mr. Bosman.
Oh boys, you guys are starting early. Yeah. Uh, uh, water polluz is happening today. So we wanted
to be off the air by 7 AM so we can like look at like look at it and yeah, right on and check it out.
It's going to be interesting show.
Adler. Why did Adler pull out?
Oh, you're asking me. I don't know.
Hey, I'm giving you some easy questions in the beginning. Just simple. One answer.
It's a question. I know. I have no idea. Yeah. Hey, I love your hat.
Is that the pit like as in Jack, John Hackleman's the pit?
No, it's not that old school. Although uh, man shout out hackleman. That's a that's a dude. I haven't seen a long time
Um, no, this is a pit with the teen competition. So uh, the pit was brock yos
Uh brain child that they ran out at their ranch in michigan
And then this year it was in Kalamazoo and yeah,
it'll be joined up with the legends competition for 25.
Yeah, I'm really excited about that.
Actually we got Ty Jenkins coming on the show,
although I think he's graduated from the kids division,
but man, he, what a savage, what a gentleman.
His parents must be so proud.
I agree. Yeah, yeah.
Just, yeah, it's cool to see like those
that whole cadre of athletes man it's such a fun competition uh to go out and just see what those
kids can do and and yeah like just to see the way they carry themselves and the confidence and
it's uh it's a cool thing. Can you guys hear me like I'm talking through a microphone or is it
through my? No it's through your microphone it's good. Okay. Okay, cool Adrian is it trying to be semi pro for you? So thank you
Is it true that the adaptive division will have a transgender division this year? That's the rumors we're hearing. Oh
That's not what I'm here to talk about. I want to talk about the community cup. Let's do it. Let's do it
Yeah, talk about the community cup. Can I do the community cup? Am I good?
Everyone can do the why is it so confusing for people when I I... In my brain, I just put it to... I just think that the community cup is... For me, there's the open,
there's the middle stuff, and there's the games. And you can do the middle stuff if you want,
and get your ranking in the middle stuff, and move on to the games, or you cannot. It's like
pretty simple. And I've never been able to do the middle stuff because i've never qualified for it
But um this year I can do the middle stuff
Yeah, I mean that's definitely one easy way to conceptualize it but like to go back to your question
Why are people confused about it? I think it's because we just haven't been talking about it enough frankly
It's new we haven't talked about it much and so it's going to take time for people to kind of adopt it
Um, and so yeah, that's on us
But I think you nailed it in the
sense that yes, there's open games and then some stuff in the middle. And traditionally, that's been kind of reserved
for people that have to qualify into it in a really, you know, kind of cutthroat fashion. 10% for the quarterfinals in
years past, 25% for last year. And really, we looked at that and we said, Hey, man, it looks like there's a lot of people that want to
compete. And, you know, in my opinion, I think the real utility of competition has nothing to do with the top of the
heap. I mean, that's cool. It's great to, you know, be able to claim the fittest person on Earth. It's great to see what
these athletes are capable of at that, like, extreme margin. Awesome. That's a really cool thing. But for the average person that doesn't have to care about that
kind of stuff, competition in its healthiest expression can be the thing that keeps you consistent. And so that should be
an important aspect if you're competitive-minded. You know, like I'll take myself as an example. You know, I'm 41 now.
I'm honestly, like, and I don't say this to be self-disparaginging but like I'm in the worst shape that I've been in in a long time I do. Okay, but like I haven't been that discipline lately. I haven't been training that much but dude
I'm gonna have been I have been yeah, okay. I've been going hard. I think oh, yeah
You're my most serious I've ever this is the most serious I've ever taken the open in my life. Okay, so you and Dave
I'm taking both of you guys down
And like if I'm feeling really froggy I might take a shot at Rory, but he's fit these days.
So, but the point is that for me,
using myself as an example,
and somebody who's just like the average
cross-fitter at this point,
knowing that there's something on the horizon
that's kind of midterm, that is like getting my ass in gear.
I'm like, okay, I gotta like get a little bit more disciplined. I got to show
up. I got to do these sessions. Um, and that I think can be extended to the average member
where if they have something four or five months out and they know they have some weaknesses
to do on the, I'm definitely not fat, dude. You got the wrong guy. He's talking about
me. He's talking about me. I'm training harder than I've ever trained. He says, and you're
still fat. I'm chronically skinny, man. He's talking about me. I'm training harder than I've ever trained. He says, and you're still fat.
I'm chronically skinny, man. That's the...
What do you weigh, Adrian? What do you weigh?
Right now? 160.
That's crazy. And how tall are you?
How what? Tall?
How tall are you? Yeah.
Uh, like 5'9", I guess.
Yeah, that's the problem. Like I'm carrying... I'm probably 165 and I'm like 5'5 if I'm lucky. Yeah dude, I'm like chronically
underweight. That's like when I stop working out, I lose weight. You know, like it's that people
are always like, yeah great fucking problem to have, Boz. You know what I mean? But anyway,
enough about me. The point is that, hey man, you can do the open, have fun with the open like
everybody always does. You get three months and then you can train up
and have something on the horizon
that hopefully keeps you in the gym,
keeps you consistent, keeps you like,
with your eye on the prize a little bit.
And then you can try to take it to your peers.
In this case, Dave and Sevan coming for you guys.
Hey, let me ask you this.
So after we do the open,
we'll be broken into 10 divisions in the community cup.
Five.
Is that right?
Oh, five divisions.
Okay, zero to 20, 20 to four.
Okay.
Will the workouts be different in those divisions?
They'll be different in the sense that if you're looking at the top tier, the pro tier,
those guys might have heavier loads and some of the movements might be a little beyond
what you're going to see in the rookie division, But the base workouts are going to be the same. So in effect, it'll be like, you know, you go to a class
and it's kind of the old school way where before there was talk about like scaling and this sort of thing,
it was scaling by another name. It was just, okay, hey, you know, Sevan, you show up to the class,
you're using 95. Rory shows up to the class, you're using 115 115 and Nicole Carol shows up and she's using 135
You know what I mean?
And it wasn't necessarily this like hard line between RX and scale that was just a that's the workout that is right for you
It's your ability level. So there it is and you're gonna you're gonna knock it out
So that's the approach we're taking with the Community Cup
Will any of the divisions be the same like could could 20 through 40 be the same as 40 for 60 or they'll all have
Slight tweaks because I'm yeah. Yeah, there's definitely gonna be yeah, there'll be some potential for overlap, you know to be perfectly honest
We haven't finalized the workouts yet. And so as we get closer to that
Yeah, there might be some divisions that it makes perfect sense where it's like hey, you know what?
These two or three divisions are gonna do the same thing and then it get maybe get stepped up a little bit for the advanced or pro tiers or vice versa
I like that because then let's say if I'm in the let's say if I'm in the 0 to 20 or if I'm in the 20
To 40 then there's still a chance I could look at my score and be like wow, I beat someone who's in the 60 to 80
Yeah, exactly right. Okay. Yeah, and that's something that we've heard also is like, you know, people like, Oh, man, this aspirational thing for quarterfinals, like it really was a big deal to make it into that top tier.
So hey, you can still have that. But now everybody can have that. They can look at that table in the rule book and they can say, Okay, you know, like, I did the open last year, I finished in the 47th percentile, whatever that is. And they can say, all right, this year, I'm really gonna try to bump up into that next bracket
and see where I can place myself for the community cup.
So everybody kind of gets that opportunity.
If you're a hard charger,
it's kind of interesting the way that percentages work out
and that like, hey, being in the top tier
like really matters to you.
Well, guess what?
It's top 12% make it into that pro category.
So that's still something that you guys, you know,
that are really heavy hitters that want to do that. You still have that opportunity to see if you can,
you know, tear up. You guys talking shit behind my back? Everyone's always talking shit. Any prize
money in this thing? No, not for the community cup. We might do like other prizes, but like again,
this is not really, it's not for like the, uh, the money on the, uh,
on the leaderboard type of thing. This is, this is, again,
this is back to the roots. Hey, competition can serve a lot of really good things.
It can really bolster your community spirit and the affiliate.
It can really be something that keeps people in, in the gym and consistent.
Um, and you know, again,
I think that's like the most healthy
outlet for competition.
If anyone wants to register for the open,
the QR code is right above Caleb's head.
You can go ahead and just point your phone at that,
grab that and it'll take you to the open.
When I sign, I haven't signed up yet for the open.
When I sign up for the open,
can I automatically sign up for the community cup
simultaneously?
No, I wish, but we don't have that this season.
We'll see.
Hopefully we'll be able to do something like that in the future but not this year.
Yeah, that would be, I mean, obviously, go ahead.
Well, I was just going to say one really important thing though is like if you are interested
in like, hey, I want to do both, you got to do the open, you got to submit three scores.
So you can't join in for the open and then just kind of mail it in. Like a zero does not count as posting a score. So make sure that if
you do want to do these competitions, you show up. You got to at least enter a
score during the open to get filtered in for the community cup.
Okay. And oh now I know what you meant by are you talking shit. No I lowered my
mic because I was asking my wife for another cup of coffee. No.
Got it.
Hey and I know I'm
preaching to the choir, but for people like me who like I just hate like it's not on Amazon,
I don't want it. But that would be awesome if I could sign up for both at the same time, right?
You just go there. Yeah, click on do that. You get the t shirt, you sign up for the community cup,
you know, you donate, you know, $5 to whatever the scholarship, you know, you get to check a bunch of fucking, I mean, I used to work there.
I know there's all the dreams, but, but it is cool that you have t-shirts.
That's something that we never, I feel like we never pulled off when I was there.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Obviously they big push for that. So that is cool. Um, yeah.
But that, uh, that bundling with the community cup, yeah,
hopefully that's something we can do in the future. But, well, you know,
I kind of like this idea. It's been kicked around.
It's like a season pass kind of thing where you pick once and then whatever competitions we hold throughout the year, like you're just
eligible for all of them. I think that'd be really cool in the future.
Uh, Adrian, um, I know I've tried to ambush you once. Um, I have to try to ambush you
again. Okay. Uh, okay. So with a, uh, wow, you're pulling up a screen too. Okay. This is a, this is at the behind the scenes last year. Oh boy. We're going back in time and I was watching
I just ambushed it's a time-traveling ambush. I consider you a very good friend
Okay, I want to call and text it. I want it's quite the entrance
And I feel like every year
What's my every year game?
You have to have a talk to me, like
to kick me out of somewhere.
And this year you kicked me out of this section.
Do you remember this when you keep, when I was out here filming and you kicked me out?
I don't remember it like that at all.
And I don't remember having to have a talk with you this year.
Maybe it's because the circumstances were so, uh, I was on the, I was on the floor here.
Yeah.
Uh, and I already, I had a chaperone.
I already had a chaperone.
Was I worried you're going to get hit with a hammer?
No, I honestly don't think you were worried about my safety.
It was just prior to this interview right here.
And, um, and there were, uh, there were athletes on the floor and there were
camera people on the floor, but you said Sevan, you came over to me.
You're like, you're going to have to go behind the fence and I was like why?
Why is my dear friend Adrian flexing on me? No one else is saying anything to me the woke photographers are still on the floor
And I'm gonna get the games this year and I and I want to be in harmony with you
I don't want you to I don't want you have to like boss me around
I was I think I think I've earned my cred to be able to be places.
Yeah, I don't remember it being... I don't look like I'm bossing you around right there.
And I don't recall... That's a really good point. There you're not. There we're bonding.
Yeah, I don't remember being bossy. I apologize genuinely if that was the case.
Do you even like me, Adrian?
Damn, dude. Of course. was the case. Do you even like me Adrian? Are we even friends? I was sick all last week.
You pushed my slot earlier. I still jumped on. Of course. Okay. Like you. All right.
All right. Thank you. Do you know, do you know, uh, so, so you don't, how close are
you to having all the community workouts? Oh, we're getting there. I mean, you know,
like the, there's a lot, a lot of irons in the fire, workouts? Oh, we're getting there. I mean, you know, like the there's a lot a lot of irons in the fire
Step on but we're getting close. It's a lot of workouts. There's uh, um, uh, there's the community cup
No, I just mean in general. There's a lot of workouts. There's a lot that has to be done
And and obviously we still have a shitload of time
Um, well, yeah, but that evaporates pretty. Like as soon as we start getting into ramp up mode,
man, you click your fingers and it's May, you know?
So we definitely gotta keep pushing those things.
But yeah, it's funny, you know,
people always think that developing these stages
of the season that are just,
hey, you just write some workouts down
and then you just do them.
And sometimes I see other event organizers
kind of take that approach to their programming,
unfortunately, and it's like, no, man,
you gotta give it time, you have to sit with it,
you gotta filter it through a bunch of different things,
you gotta talk to your scoring people,
you gotta talk to your people that are in affiliates.
You gotta make sure that all of the different filters
make sense and that the workouts are still good
once they've been filtered through all that stuff.
And some of that takes time.
You can't rush it in my opinion.
Sevan is actually a 15 year old girl.
Fair enough.
What about the dates for the Community Cup?
So I finished the open June.
Yep.
So it's going to be let me just make sure I get it right here.
June 9th through 15th.
So you've got about three months
after the open. So open will end on the 17th of March. And then you'll have just about three months
to train up and see what you can do in the community cup. Community Cup will run for that
entire week. It'll be three workouts and you could do them in any order, submit them anytime
throughout that week.
So pretty easy to implement.
We're gonna release everything about a week ahead of time.
And again, the goal there is to make it flexible.
We want the structure to be flexible enough
that if you're the type of affiliate that's like,
hey, we wanna throw a big party,
we wanna do as much as we can with this,
great, you have that opportunity.
If you're an affiliate where you're like,
I don't care about this at all,
but maybe some of my members just wanna do it, fine. They can show up do it like on the weekend if they want. You don't have to do anything. You
just have to keep the door open for them. So we want that kind of flexibility for people to engage. We'll have a bunch
of class plans, and we'll, we'll program them through like the CAT platform and stuff like that. So again, it'll be
3 workouts in 7 days. So it should be easy enough if an
affiliate just wants to program three out of their workouts that week as the community cup workouts
and everybody can just jump in and do them. So lots of ways to make it easy to implement.
That's the goal anyway. And the workout starts June 9th to the 15th. I'm assuming you could sign up.
Signups as soon as it opens over, signups will open up and you can signth to the 15th. I'm assuming you could sign up. Sign up as soon as it opens over.
Signups will open up and you can sign up until the last minute.
You guys have always been great about signing up at any time.
This year, Dave's talked about how he feels very confident.
You guys have cracked a code on the in-, in affiliate. It's funny.
People keep calling him virtual, uh, semifinals, but they're really not.
They're in affiliates.
Yeah.
But, but, but I mean, they're not even really online.
The truth is, is that you have to do them at an affiliate.
Yeah.
And, uh, and, and I, to me, that's just a small venue.
Uh, let me ask you this.
So he says he's, he hasn't, you guys haven You guys haven't said why, but he feels very confident
you guys have cracked the code that there won't be any issues with judging this year.
How do you feel about that? And will that also be implemented, whatever this new strategy you guys
have in the Community Cup? Let's kind of work in reverse order. No. Okay. Again, the Community
Cup is going to be more like an open field where, you know, we're not, I don't think anybody has the illusion that we're
able to have the transparency down to like the 300,000th person. Right. And that's not
really a point anyway. Right. Same thing with the community cup. Like we're not interested
in like the super high level of review. We expect that people are going to have integrity
and they're going to do it, what they're supposed to be doing in their affiliates and that it's a fun competition
where people are trusted to play the game.
Are there gonna be some bad actors in that?
Probably.
Does that mean that the whole system is-
You can just talk shit about them on the internet.
That's why they're here.
Yeah, exactly.
And like, hey man, I said this before.
I think I said this on Chase's podcast.
I was like, dude, what a joyless individual
that takes something like that and is like,
I know what I'm gonna do.
I'm gonna like cheat for clout during the community cup.
Like dude, who, what are you doing, man?
But I won.
Right.
Yeah.
Yeah, exactly.
That's like, did you, did you really win, uh, in that case?
Um, so no, not, not a ton of review for the community cup in that sense.
Uh, for the semi finals, that's a very different animal
because again, there's such a tight qualification window.
Really trying to make that like ramped up.
So a couple things we're doing.
Number one, you gotta be more prepared in the affiliate.
So there's gonna be a requirement
to have a head judge on site
that basically oversees like a competition
in a live venue.
You'll have a floor judge that's responsible
for taking you through the workouts.
So a little bit more beefed up there.
The requirements for both of those people is heightened.
And then on top of that,
you're gonna have to submit all of your workouts via video.
There's no possibility of submitting a score
without a video attached to it.
And then there's gonna be a public period of review.
So everybody gets to take a look at that. And really the goal there,
I think in the past, you know, a lot of times, um, people are always like, ah,
we're just not transparent with our process, et cetera. We try to be,
we try to be as transparent as we can. It's not always that possible,
but what happens is that the perception is that we single people out and there's
no rhyme or reason to it and those
people are idiots. Those are flat earthers. Flat earthers. But I'm just saying that's bad attitude
is out there. That is just retarded. So what we're doing this year is like, okay, that's fine.
Everybody submits video at that level. If you've, you know, if you made it that far, like you are
expected to have this higher standard, everybody submits their videos and then the public can guide us and say,
oh man, at the end of this review period where everybody's been able to see everything,
they're all pointing at Caleb and they're like, hey man, a hundred people have been like,
Caleb, thumbs down. Well, that's a pretty clear indicator to us that we need to do some review on Caleb's work.
You know, that was originally a Glassman idea back in like when he first invented the open.
He said, let's just put it on.
Everyone has to go straight to YouTube.
And then the one with the most thumbs down will cruise over and police.
Yeah. And we've actually had that system as part of the open for a long time.
Well, I think a lot of people don't know about it.
We don't really talk about it that much, but it is possible.
And so it's kind of cool.
Like if you take the judges course this year,
you are somebody that can then weigh in on these videos at the semifinals. So if that's something that's interesting to you, or
you want to help us out, you know, please do take your judges course. It's just the regular seasonal course. And then once
the semifinals roll around, you'll be able to take a look at all those videos and give us a vote, whether you think that
they're good to go, or they need review, or there's something else wrong with the video you'll be able to weigh in.
And Shia Dance obviously we all know the international symbol of no rep there it is the
bat. Heidi Krum comments on that one that will not be a an option but we do have you know something
I think that will take care of that category. So yeah.
Heidi Krum, Adrian must be a man of God, honest, kind and faithful.
There you go.
Adrian, I want to say this to you a little more controversy your way.
I think hands down, I don't think there's anyone who would dispute this, that the CrossFit
Games has the best media in the space, build up around the event.
It has the best judging hands down. It has the best prize purse. It has the best crowd.
It has the best programming. It always has the best venue. And yet, I don't feel like
we get we ever get the love for it because people have started to take for granted
what has been built and what athletes can leverage.
And it's kind of my new thing I kind of thought of yesterday.
People need to, I see people promoting high rocks
and I don't have a problem with high rocks
but it's the exact opposite.
It has shitty media, shitty prize money,
a shitty judging and it's a tired old workout.
And that's okay, I'm not poo-pooing high rocks.
It is what it is, it's still in its infancy, but
I'd like to see athletes love on CrossFit. It's theirs. It's
your baby. It's your house. You go into and leverage that you
can get sponsorship. You can show off your hard work. I
mean it is just there to be leveraged. Why not just love on
it promote it and and leverage it?
It's a great question. I mean, I think you have to ask those individuals that you think are not doing that. I mean, I agree. I don't agree with maybe some of the strong language you have for
the high rocks group. But yeah, I mean, I agree. I think that it is unfortunate that we, I don't
know, man, maybe it's too broad of a stroke to paint with, but I do think we kind of live
in this cultural moment where it's very easy to throw stones
and it's very like in vogue to just like shit on things.
And it's easy, it's cheap, you know,
it's not easy to build something year over year.
And it's not to say that like, of course we're not perfect.
And of course, you know, we can always be looking
to improve and man, the core team that's been around now 10, 15, 20
years in some cases, that is what we always want to be doing.
And yeah, so it can be hard to hear some people that
have built a platform to just turn around and throw stones
when it becomes convenient.
That is a little disappointing.
But here we go.
Well, what about doing the workouts scaled in the open?
Can you still do the Community Cup?
Yeah, that's the best part is that if you think about it,
everybody in the open is eligible for the Community Cup.
It's think about it like one big bucket, right?
And you got the fine grain of sand on the top.
Those are like the professionals.
And then you have kind of your like middle of the pack kind
of topsoil in the middle.
And then you get your big rocks at the bottom.
But everybody's still in that same bucket.
And then they just get filtered out
into those kind of textures, so to speak,
kind of a weird abstract example.
And then they'll compete against others
in that same texture in the community cup.
So yeah, if you're doing scale or foundations in the open,
you'll still get an overall level out of that
based on the rest of the people do in the open,
and you'll get sorted accordingly in the community cup.
So yes, you're totally eligible.
It's for everybody that wants to,
everybody that thinks that, hey, you know,
competition can be fun, can be a driver of good things,
can be a driver of consistency.
Yeah, that's for you.
Awesome.
Hey dude, I look forward to having you back on
as we get further into the game season.
Yeah, right on.
You guys have fun with the water Palooza coverage
and enjoy that second cup of coffee.
Thanks buddy.
See you, Adrian.
Third cup of coffee.
You know what I did today?
I shouldn't say this with Gabe on.
Gabe, what's up, dude?
I think you're muted.
I think you're muted.
There's a baby.
Hey, what's up, brother?
Hi, DeBella.
Hi.
Oh, hey, Sevan.
Hi, what's up, Bella?
How you doing?
How are you?
You look dry.
I'm trying.
Thank you.
Good.
All right.
I normally don't say that to women
There's a baby right here, oh, sorry, sorry, sorry
Sorry, sorry, sorry, it's really it's actually really really cool
What's cool these venues cool everything's cool you're having fun
Yeah, I got here pretty early it was raining
for the first three hours of it.
But after about eight o'clock, it's really, really nice.
It's clearing up right now.
You can kind of see that it's clearing up over there.
But it's a little windy.
It's a little windy, but it's getting really, really good.
It's really cool.
Super, super different. It's really cool. Super different.
Are they behind schedule?
I have no clue. With us being coffee and us being here, like the first people that open, we're focused on our coffee thing.
But as far as behind schedule, I'm not quite certain.
Okay. Hey, can you show me, can you point your camera around and we take a look at what you see?
I'm trying to figure out how to do that. I am slow.
You could just turn it around. We don't, you just turn it around and give us a, yeah, awesome.
Alright, cool. So I'm going to show you basically this is where it starts.
Over there is where the main arena is and I can kind of get as close as I can to there.
Can you rotate your phone horizontal?
Nice.
Yeah, boy.
So I'll show you, I'll show you the main arena.
It's actually,
Hey, watch your step on those hard surfaces.
It's going to be slippery.
I know you got a baby.
Um, actually God, I sound like an old man.
No, no, I appreciate it, but they're not they're super like grippy
It's perfect. It's it's not wet like all the wetness that was in the morning is almost pretty much gone
All right. So you have that you got the waves out there, which looks pretty pretty dope. Oh my goodness
They're right on the beach. I didn't realize that
as I keep walking, I think I should be able to head out there and and
And show you.
But it's really, it's a really interesting setup.
But it's really cool.
Where?
Let's find out.
No, it's not.
No, it's not.
It's not space.
Some other stuff.
Hey, is that, is that the, is there only one venue this year?
There's one floor?
No, there's multiple floors.
I can walk real quick and you'll see all of them. Yeah
Do the elites all perform on one floor over and over?
I
Think it goes back and forth because the one behind me that I just showed you seems to be the main
The main floor
Okay, and no one's competed there yet
Oh, it looks like they're off.
There's another coffee company that opened up an hour ago.
It looks like I see people running.
Wow, they got a nice drone shot.
Sure.

Make lots of paper street.
You're a good Dude, Gabe.
Uh, yeah.
If I see anyone, I'll, I'll put them on.
Let me change this again.
Hold on.
I'm hold on.
They got a great, uh, Brian's got a great drone shot.
They got a great drone shot.
That rung on the sand.
That's crazy.
Yeah.
That's impressive.
Uh, yeah, they have a drone flying out like everywhere, which is really, really
cool when we can see those people on the stream, we can see their entire, uh, the
entire venue, that's pretty impressive.
It's so here's where, uh, volunteers do, uh, and just people do workouts every
few minutes.
And then this is the this is where most of the vendors are. And then all the bigger vendors are on the other side.
There's so much there's a bunch more food vendors than there ever has been.
Well, it's so much bigger.
The footprint is huge.
I hey, if it wasn't for the rain, which is not going to rain the rest of the week,
it would be 1000 percent better for me as a vendor.
It's amazing.
They've done so much for me already.
And it's Thursday.
So, you know, it's, it's, people are working today.
It'll only get more crowded.
So let me show you another place.
The boys have entered back into the stadium, by the way, finishing up round one.
Go ahead.
Oh, you want to see them?
There's people running over here.
Oh, and they've started their, this is a two round workout.
It's gonna get a little loud.
Gerard and Spray are in first place.

How many cups of coffee have you had this morning?
I'm on my first. This is a really nice layout they have.
They got a clock, they got the workout easy, they got the time cap.
This is a really nice layout they have.
I'll be honest with you, I like the layout for this year.
Let's see how it goes when it gets more packed.
But all in all, I do think it's a win.
These guys are so packed in there doing the step ups.
It's pretty cool too.
I I'm sure they're bumping into each other a little bit.
Yeah.
Saxon Pancek and Ricky have the same pace.
Yonah is also on the same pace.
I'm going to try to get you guys closer.
Nola Kai, Moritz Fiebig, Luka Jukic.
It looks like no one has come off the boxes yet, but clearly Ricky and Sprague were there
first.
I wonder if it's in Ricky's head.
This is where Ricky got injured at the games last year, stepping down from the box.
This box is definitely lower.
This box definitely looks lower.
What is it?
The two step last year?
Yeah.
Up one side.
And the stream is down.
20 seconds in.
Oh shit, it is.
We're back number one for these athletes.
That's okay. That happens. steps though and the stream is down 20 seconds in oh shit it is one for these
athletes okay that's the legs under them it feels like I'm just one box like the
boxes are pretty much fairly touching each other not there's a little bit of
space in between them all right Gabe we'll be checking in with you thank you
