it's time for the olympics last night i
got some big air how about you
I love the chase and the hunt and
I set the pace when I'm running.
I always take what I want and I
always give it one hundred.
Don't need a bank, no I'm funded.
Play the game like it's nothing.
I'm always thankful for something.
Don't take for granted, stay humble.
Now wake up!
It's time to look at the enemy.
Look in the mirror if he is no
friend to me.
It's not working out,
maybe it's the chemistry.
It's time to break up.
no i'm gonna do it today yeah and
i think it did it i think it
did it well i didn't hear it i
did i don't i don't know who knows
my the roadcaster went mute on me again
so i don't even know if i've got
the right stuff set up because it just
has a mind of its own these days
so i'm just checking to make sure yeah
i'm on the right settings okay
What is up, Vicky?
What is up, Lito?
Trish the Dish.
Train Olive.
Frida.
Man.
Packing it in.
Packing it in.
Oh, yeah.
Gotta love it.
Before we get too much,
I have something to share.
It's not that big,
but it just made me smile.
There are people in this sport that I
just root for.
Sure.
They're awesome.
And this made me smile,
so I thought I'll share it with you
all and see...
give you a smile too so here is
big becca rebecca fusile attempting a
hundred and eighty pound snatch and here
we go
Her speed on the board is so ridiculous.
The part that's awesome is,
did you see her gym member in the
background jumping up and down?
She's hit this weight one other time in
her life, but it's been two years.
Right.
She hit it.
It's a hundred and eighty pounds.
And the people in her community were
yelling and screaming and jumping up and
down when she hit it because they know
what it meant to her.
Gotta love it.
Gotta love it.
And it's stuff like that, that like,
that's why the open is so cool because
that kind of stuff happens to people in
every gym around the world when they're,
when they're forced to go outside their
comfort zone and try something they
haven't tried in a while.
And with the energy in the gym,
you just never know.
Any given day,
is this the day that that thing is
going to happen?
There is a grainy video of me screaming
my head off for one of our members
who was a lineman in college,
played on an offensive line in college,
getting his first chest to bar for the
Open a couple years ago.
And like,
I was still one of my real good
friends today.
And I was losing my mind because he
had been working his ass off on it
for so long.
Right.
And he finally,
like after several attempts,
just finally got his chest to the bar
and you could see it.
And like, I mean, it was like,
we had just, just won the workout.
I think it was like,
it was either like fifteen or sixteen.
There was chest-to-bars in the workout.
And I bet you we had ten people
at our gym get their first ever,
or not chest-to-bar, bar muscle-ups.
And we had about ten people get their
first ever bar muscle-up.
And every time, every time,
it never died down.
From the first person that got it to
the tenth person that got it,
the gym erupted on every single one of
them.
As it should.
And the coolest thing that always happens
is in those types of workouts,
they get the first one and then they
get like twelve more.
Because you just,
a lot of things in CrossFit,
you just have to feel when you have
to like pop it or when you have
to,
and then you like string together
something that you've never done before
for twelfth.
It's that brain-body connection, dude.
I'll never forget mine because I tell
people all the time,
y'all probably heard me yell.
That's how loud I scream.
And at the same time,
I felt – I actually have a video
of my second ever one somewhere buried on
my Instagram page from years ago that one
of our coaches videoed for me.
You see me just kind of shake my
head for my second ever one because –
it felt like I should have been doing
it.
Like it felt so easy once I actually
got it.
And I was like, I can't, like,
I felt it's sound ridiculous,
but like I felt stupid for having it
take as long as it did because I
was like, well,
that's pretty easy to do once you just
do it correctly.
I'm afraid it says muscle,
muscle ups are special.
I wouldn't know, but okay.
I take, I trust you.
Like I I've done them in high school.
Like I,
Back when I was high school,
I could do a lot of that kind
of stuff.
Oh, yeah.
Just naturally, right?
I would love to get back to that
someday.
But, you know, I'm old now.
Yeah, that don't mean shit.
Um,
I free said that Rebecca's was a great
one.
Mark says so fast.
Um, I, I just love that girl, man.
Uh,
I interviewed her maybe three weeks before
the semifinal that she made it to the
games for the first time as an adult.
And she gave me two interviews at the
semifinal that year.
And both of us were growing at that
time in our, in our following.
She has far surpassed me since then.
But I, I want nobody,
there's nobody I want to make it back
more than her to the games.
She's full of personality, dude.
Yeah.
She just is like one of the coolest
people and she's cool to everybody.
Yeah.
Vicky got her first toast to bar in
her first open.
I think I told the story a couple
weeks ago.
I got my first toast to second bar.
Yeah.
Dirty South boys to get you, man.
You gotta be careful with them things.
My toes hit,
and I thought for sure I'd hit it,
and I was running around the gym like
I had just conquered the world,
and then my coach is like, no rep.
Sorry.
Mark Phillips, of course,
her capital event performance was one for
the record books.
Yeah, I mean, that will live in infamy.
I got friends who were at that game
who were right there on the steps that
were in that crowd, and like they said,
it just –
You could feel the energy,
like literally just willing her own just
to get up the steps carrying that damn
thing.
So I was at that Games,
and the cool thing about that event is
it integrated the town.
Oh, yeah.
And those are things we lose now when
we're off-site at a park or in the
arena the whole time.
That,
you literally left Orange Park or North
Park and then you went up and through
the streets to get to downtown Madison.
And there were crowds everywhere of people
that had no idea what CrossFit was.
And they're watching them carry these
Husafell stones and the jerry cans and
then trying to get up these steps.
And then people that had no idea what
it was started gathering around those
steps to watch these aliens try to do
this.
And some failing, right?
yeah right like but the fortitude and the
grit and the determination it showed in
that moment you don't have to understand
crossfit to understand that no to
understand suffering and something is
going on and i can't put my finger
on it but holy smokes it's amazing to
watch my favorite part about that entire
thing or one of my favorite parts about
that entire thing i should say was that
the run course was open yeah there were
people out there on their right just out
there on their morning jogs
or on their on their ten speed or
on their bike and then there's these
people with numbers and jerseys and no
shirt and whoever else like these
specimens like you said those aliens just
come running past them all of a sudden
you ain't got no idea what's going on
you know you just out there for your
run get your earbuds in mind your own
damn business pushing your cooler with
your headphones in and hundred percent
hundred percent that's outstanding
I think I see Vicky saying like it
was an epic event to watch even on
TV.
And I get that.
What I'm saying is it created a spectacle
in a way that people that weren't part,
that weren't searching for CrossFit on
YouTube got sucked into.
Yeah.
I happen to be out and about that
corner.
If we look back at our history,
those are the things you need to find
to
to do at an event like that to
suck people in that you wouldn't didn't
even know it was going on right and
they start asking the questions what's
that what do i need to do to
do that like the homeless guys hillary was
interviewing same thing same same but
different but different yeah but still
same
yeah but different oh truly different um
and i know that that madison took a
lot on the chin with the the lake
and all that kind of stuff but that
run went down by the i mean there's
so many lakes in madison that run went
down by the one lake it's not where
they swam or did any of that stuff
but just gorgeous and you're running along
that lake and you see the skyline of
downtown madison that you're running to um
it just was a great great event
I think, and like the stars lined up,
right.
Cause it was a beautiful day on top
of that sunshine down.
Like, I mean,
they've had terrible weather out there
that just kind of popped up on them
out of nowhere that day.
Absolutely beautiful day.
Couldn't ask for it for it better.
Um,
the run course being open and like nobody
got run over by a bike or a
straight stroller or,
you know what I'm saying?
Some lady run over,
like the event went off from what I
could tell, you know,
un-molested or whatever,
just running on there through the day.
Like it was, it was amazing.
It was absolutely amazing.
A shin asks,
I wonder if they'll ever do something like
that again with all the safety issues.
Some biker could have ran into an athlete
injuring them.
For example, I,
I hope they do every time.
So no offense to Shanna,
but like every time somebody says that the
first thing that pops into my mind is
unknown and unknowable.
Yeah, I'm going to get what she's saying,
right?
I do.
But people run through those.
It was a running course.
There were people out there running and
taking walks and doing all this stuff.
And people go weeks without there ever
being an injury.
Well, look at the crit.
I mean,
what's-her-face got taken down in the
middle of the bike race,
and that was by the other girls that
were racing.
There was a crash for the Criterion race.
Oh, what was her name?
I can't remember.
I can see her face or whatnot,
but she got a big old gash on
her elbow because Kat hit her on her
back tire to her front tire just trying
to cut her off.
If something's going to happen,
something's going to happen.
It doesn't matter if there's rambunctious
people on the course, the athletes,
or plenty rambunctious enough on their
own.
I love events like this and the obstacle
course.
I hope they get back to these kinds
of events.
I do too.
Cause it's really kind of like what
CrossFit is about preparing yourself to be
able to face things that you don't know
are coming.
And that's what an obstacle course is.
That's what these types of events are.
Nobody knew what it was like to carry
a Houston fell stone up a set of
capital steps, right?
Like until you actually do it.
Um,
Ortega said they had crossing guards and
cops stopping traffic, of course.
But because it was an open course,
anybody and their brother could be walking
down.
Now,
I thought CrossFit did a great job of
not kind of announcing it so that those
areas weren't heavily populated.
It really was just kind of as it
seemed open.
they had film crews on golf carts and
stuff so they were kind of clearing away
a little bit in front of the runners
at points in time so i mean any
if you've done a five k or a
ten k or anything like that yes the
streets are blocked off but they can't
block every single side straight off they
can't block every single uh you know so
like other runners are going to end up
on the course
I have done an incountable number of five
K's and ten K's.
And I've seen plenty of people out there
running with us who had no number that
were just out for their run and just
like, oh, shit,
what are all these people doing?
You know, on my run course,
because that's how you think of it
whenever you're out there.
What are these people out here doing on
my run course?
And you're out there trying to get a
time.
Ortega points out that the one thing that
were, that took it,
took it hard where the flowers around the
steps at the Capitol,
because they got stomped on pretty,
pretty hard.
I'm sure.
Frida says, how many,
how many have died trying to run a
marathon?
I get what you're saying.
I get that.
Like the other sports, triathlons,
marathons, people die and,
and they move on.
CrossFit needs some distance before
another tragedy happens.
Right.
We,
I get what you're saying.
I understand that.
And I do think that there has been
an overcorrection to the other side.
That always happens.
You always overcorrect before the pendulum
swings back to a normal range.
But there needs to be a little bit
of distance before.
And they want to make sure there's some
distance before there's another tragedy.
As somebody who used to work
construction...
This is how it goes.
Something happens.
Somebody gets hurt.
They take their team of safety people in
there who have knowledge of the fact that
something happened and have their
knowledge of safety, whatever.
They look at it and they go,
we need to stop this from happening again.
and they go like we had, we had,
when I was working at McDermott,
when I was in my early twenties,
they had a rash of hand injuries.
Okay.
So like people were getting hands pinched,
cut, blah, blah,
whatever happened like two or three of
them within like a four or five month
period.
So they're,
suggestion and what they ended up actually
doing to prevent people or try to prevent
people from hurting their hands is getting
us gloves that were bright orange like
safety orange because then you'd see your
hand better that was their actual solution
right didn't do any it didn't actually do
anything because your hands are still your
hands and you still have to work with
them but like that was their idea of
going like we're gonna we're gonna go
ahead and just nip this in the bud
right
And it's an overcorrection that does
absolutely nothing because the
overcorrection that CrossFit's on right
now is not necessarily doing it.
You're not making anybody safer.
If you're out there on the floor doing
what we do,
there is inherent risk involved.
Yeah,
and I think the pendulum is already
starting to come back.
Yeah.
You're seeing swim events at some
competitions.
You're seeing things like that.
So I think it's on its way back.
It's just how fast does it come back?
Yeah.
We talked about the Olympics, right?
The Olympics are happening today.
Watched Curlin last night when I got home,
baby.
I watched Big Air last night.
I know.
Yeah.
We got it all recorded,
so I didn't get a chance to see
that, but I will.
I'm a streamer.
I don't have a cable service.
Oh, no.
It's recorded off of YouTube TV.
Peacock has everything.
You can go back and watch anything on
Peacock.
And so I went back and watched yesterday
afternoon's qualifiers for the big air on
snowboard.
What I found humorous is that four runs
in,
I became an expert on what the score
should be on the big air.
I'm yelling at the TV, like,
how could you give him a seventy?
That was an eighty run for sure.
Right.
At least.
I've been on a snowboard like three times
in my life.
But after watching four runs,
I immediately became the expert and should
be judging what the scores are for a
snowboarding big air event.
Yeah, I got this under control.
It's fine.
I know what's going on.
And as I'm screaming,
I hear the announcer go, well,
he didn't get as high as the other
guys.
And he was a half rotation short from
what the other guys.
Oh, okay.
Now I get it.
And I sit back in my chair like,
okay.
Yeah.
Okay.
You got a point.
Oh, that's half.
Yes.
Who comes up with the names of snowboard
moves?
Same with skateboarding, et cetera.
Yeah.
Like my wife was like,
what does goofy foot mean?
I said, it's a stance,
and I'm assuming it's different than
normal.
Yeah.
Most people stand one way,
or one of the people that stands the
other way, and then you are, in fact,
goofy-footed.
And then they call it, like,
if you actually...
if you stand goofy foot,
but you're not goofy foot,
it's called something else.
Like it's crazy.
I learned that from playing SSX tricky on
my, uh, PlayStation for like years.
Dude, I played SSX.
That was my favorite game for a long
time.
My wife got so tired of, uh,
right on time.
It's tricky.
You start laying a string and moves
together.
Yeah, absolutely.
Yeah.
She's just like, oh my gosh,
shut it off.
We were watching curling last night and my
eight year olds in the room and Jennifer
starts laughing.
They're sitting on the couch.
I was sitting on a chair and I
said, what are you laughing at?
And she said, well,
she's definitely my child.
What are you talking about?
She said,
all we're going to do is watch these
people just mop the ice.
Like, really?
because they were in there oh boy had
that brush and was knocking them down uh
but we watched usa just beat the brakes
off of switzerland for uh for one whole
match them two uh that's mixed up mixed
doubles curling it's fun to watch yeah i
know it's a broom doug
uh vicky just alerted me that's been
announced that it was a released event one
there it is no easy way down individual
event one for twenty twenty six
wadapalooza is released uh it is interval
style workout featuring rowing heavy wall
balls and legless rope climbs okay that's
all we got so details on barbellspin.com
Yeah, look for that to see what else.
Because everybody breaks news in this noon
hour.
It is really hard.
Usually I try to catch a couple things
right before we come on air.
It was dead all morning.
And then, of course, we go live.
Yeah,
I didn't see much this morning at all.
Alito said they actually released it
yesterday.
Isn't it a bit early to be releasing
events, though?
It's their event.
Yeah, I don't know.
As long as you don't put out all
of them so that everybody gets there
looking like they've been doing them for
six months at a time.
Yeah.
My thing is,
if it's not the game season,
I've really gotten to a point where do
whatever you want.
It's your event.
And whatever helps you gain interest and
create excitement and sell tickets,
that's what I think you should do.
I just want the game season to be
preserved in a way that is legit for
all athletes and equitable in some kind of
way.
But anyway, back to the Olympics.
I posed the question,
what is the one winter Olympic sport that
you can't wait to watch?
I tell you,
I got home and we turned curling on
last night.
And that is the one for the entire
Olympics.
That's the only one we're going to pay
much mind to.
Like the snowboarding and shit is probably
the coolest thing I'll see just because I
like watching them do flips and tricks and
all that other stuff.
But like all the sliding down the side
of a mountain,
I really could care less about.
And curling,
we watch it because in my head it's
ridiculous.
Like the physics,
like some of the stuff that they do
is absolutely – and like the shoes with
one slick side and one grippy side so
they just go sliding down on one foot
and whatnot –
the fact that the men's the u.s men's
national curling teams like a group of
dads who like got lost and went on
an adventure and ended up at the olympics
like they don't look like olympic athletes
it's insane um i don't know enough about
hockey to watch hockey like it's hard for
me to follow because i can't i have
no idea what's going on
The ice skating, figure skating, I really,
really don't care about.
The speed skating, I really, really,
really don't care about anything that's
going on ice skates.
I'm just kind of indifferent.
It's probably because of where I grew up.
I've never been ice skating, Scott.
I know it's hard to believe me and
it's how I'm three and a half hours
from the Gulf of Mexico,
but I've never been.
I have,
at one point I did own a skateboard.
So the snowboarding stuff I can kind of
relate to and I kind of get like
the tricks and the flips and stuff like
that.
yeah Doug's all right David Reed they need
to bring back the old corn straw brooms
yeah the uh Swiffer mops are just they
don't they don't get add the excitement
like the corn straw Jameson legitimately
said we're just gonna watch him just mop
to ice the whole time
Uh, yeah, yeah, we will.
Uh, he says this year, hockey,
I was really excited for hockey.
And then I found out that the stadium
wasn't even done for the first game.
Like, um,
I hope,
but as long as it gets down to
USA-Canada,
I will tune in for every second of
that game.
I mean,
they just finished a battle in the NHL
All-Star Game last year that was a bloody
mess because they were so hateful of each
other.
And the USA has already put out
commercials about, hey,
we're going to go collect their tears.
The trash talking is already starting.
So that I'm really looking forward to.
Alito is, I like watching ice skating,
although I know exactly nothing about the
scoring.
And they like it that way.
David Reed, hockey, curling,
cross-country ski.
I don't get the cross-country ski part.
I don't.
um terry loves the figure skating wayne
short cross-country skiing it's like
watching a marathon um i watched the
entire the road marathon i watched it i
watched it from the first minute they
started rolling until the very end of it
for the games we watched the whole
freaking three and a half hours whatever
it was
Mark Phillips,
I'm wanting to see ski mountaineering just
added this year.
I'll check that out.
I don't even know what it is.
Frida,
cross-country skiing will be fun or at
least interesting for me.
I like the biathlon.
Yeah, that's where they shoot.
Yeah, and then if you miss,
you have to do penalty laps before you
can go back out on the course.
I'll probably, if that's on,
I'll catch that for sure.
USA is not Canada's rival.
It's the Russians.
Russia doesn't have a contingency,
do they?
That's how much I know about the Olympics.
I'm missing the stories leading up to it
or connection to any of the Olympians
besides Lindsey Vonsney.
I haven't seen any others.
No, Sean White.
No, Tonya Harding.
Where's the drama?
We don't need more Tonya Harding drama.
I prefer not.
I can hear it, dude.
Oh, my word.
Yeah.
Which, God bless us.
That dude hit it with a freaking crowbar.
Like, for real.
It hurt.
Meredith Jones,
I respect the endurance for cross-country
skiing.
I can respect an event without really
being excited about watching it.
The biathlon would be fun too.
Moguls, downhill speed, sledding,
skeleton, and hockey.
I really do like skeleton.
Skeleton and luge, I like a lot.
Because it's just like one slip up and
you're flying out the tube.
Right.
What's the other one?
Bob's sledding.
I got probably...
Might watch a little bit of that, too.
If it's on, dude, like,
I got it set to record,
so we're going to pick it, like, well,
not tonight,
but probably Saturday night when we get
settled in.
We'll turn it on.
You're not going to get anything but that.
Well, no, whatever's going on today.
Because they're in Italy, so they're like,
you know, six, seven hours ahead of us.
Trying to explain that to an
eight-year-old, by the way.
Is this happening right now?
No, baby,
this happened at three o'clock this
afternoon.
Yeah.
Throw in long track speed skating.
Awesome to watch.
I do like long track speed skating.
Terry loves the drama.
Tonya was pissed.
You had one job, Jeff Galuli.
I mean, Tonya, come on.
Hire some people better than that.
Hire a professional.
Yeah.
Just don't.
Many a PE class growing up traumatized me
with cross-country the worst,
but I am a decent concept two skier
now, so I guess grateful.
I did a hundred calories on a skier
this morning.
John George, bobsledding is like NASCAR,
just waiting for the crash.
Mark feels bad for Nancy Kerrigan still.
And David Reed, ten K world record.
The guy averaged over thirty miles an hour
for ten K.
Speed skating,
I'm assuming he's talking about.
Wow.
I feel like that's hauling ass.
Look at this.
Tanya lives in a town next to me.
Yeah.
Wow.
Wow is right.
I think that...
I think that Lindsay is actually just went
for her first run.
It was supposed to be twelve thirty or
eleven thirty central time,
which would be twelve thirty eastern.
Yeah, I've been fifteen minutes.
I'm anxious to see how that goes,
because I think that is the biggest
storyline in the Olympics so far.
Apparently,
there's something going on with the ski
jumping drama.
Oh, the crotch gate.
What happened?
I think there's a camera angle from the
ski jump where it points right at the
skier's crotch,
and it's creating a whole bunch of drama.
Got it.
This is what I'm going to say,
and hate me or whatever.
When you wear a suit like skiers wear,
there is nothing left to the imagination
anyway.
No.
No.
No.
So you're going to get what you got
to get.
You know what you look like before you
left to go to the event.
Okay, here's a twist.
Guys have now been accused of injecting
their junk with hyaluronic acid to
increase their size and get a bigger suit
size.
And so she's saying it's loose and
therefore it will catch more wind and keep
them in flight longer.
But what about the weight of the junk?
Does the weight of the junk then
counteract the looseness of the suit?
Is this for the long jump, I guess?
It's the ski jump where you just come
down and go as far as you can.
So if you got ballast at the bottom
now because you're
junk's inflated but your suit's a little
bit bigger like how much balance actually
is there like would you be better off
just leaving it be so that's a crazy
fyi and while we're talking about it i'm
not injecting my junk with anything that's
just you bring no needles anywhere needles
are getting anywhere near my junk no sir
not today not tomorrow not next week not
happening
Ortega says we're seeing some fat bulges.
Apparently, it's injected fat bulges.
Yeah, it's some fake stuff right there.
Same with gymnasts, Vicky?
Okay.
I bet she's talking about the outfits.
The gymnasts know what they look like when
they walk out there.
If they gain one centimeter in suit size,
it makes a difference.
Okay.
They're flying squirrels.
Oh, here you go, freedom.
The suits have maximum slack by rule.
I will be tuning in to the ski
jumping.
I can learn more about this.
About the flying squirrels coming off the
ramp.
I'm working with headphones on and had to
come tell you I'm cracking up in my
office.
No extra charge.
I mean, we do this part.
This part is for free.
You get no extra charge whatsoever.
John George says,
that's why I have two kids in college
and a ten-year-old.
No needles allowed around my junk.
Same, John.
Same.
I don't want to know, Mark,
how you even know this.
It's widely reported.
Widely reported.
Ortega Dam,
I'm about to see some flying squirrels
with fat bulges.
Ortega's reaching for his remote.
I am tuning in right now.
The Olympics just got a whole lot more
interesting.
I tell you this much,
I'll probably go ahead and check it out
at this point because now you have my
interest.
Now you have my curiosity because I don't
want to go see.
That actually is one of my favorite events
to watch because I just, in my head,
I'm like,
who was the first guy that thought,
let's try this?
And how many beers in was he when
he decided to do it?
I bet I'd get off that ramp and
fly at least a quarter mile down this.
And if I wear big enough skis,
it'll keep me afloat.
You know,
when I held my feet like this while
I was flying, and, man,
I got a lot further that time.
Oh, hell.
That's some redneck ski shit right there.
You know that invention happened when
someone said, hold my beer.
Mm-hmm.
I'm going to wear a Dale suit.
Dale suit's a lot bigger than mine.
It's going to catch the air when I
get off of it.
I'm just going to be flying on down
the damn mountain.
Freda remembers that he was Norwegian.
yeah there you go there's my drama
storyline there you go the fat bulges and
the the extra suit size to go in
with the one hundred and five thousand
condoms or however many they buy for uh
athlete village yeah i now i can just
picture this like
This guy sitting there in his lawn with
a beer,
looking up at a tree and seeing a
squirrel fly from tree to tree and going,
well,
if the squirrel can fly from tree to
tree, if I can get enough speed.
You know, Dale,
I've been watching these squirrels out
here past three hours.
I'm telling you right now,
I think I can make that happen.
Darren,
you come up with another half-ass crazy
idea.
Nope, nope, nope.
I'm telling you, Dale.
I can do it.
I'm going to take your coat and I'm
going to get Betty Lou to sew the
arms to the side of it.
That way I have some little wings,
just like one of them squirrels.
Yes, Shannon.
All I have to say is that you
really have to be dedicated to your sport
to inject to gain an advantage.
I don't need a gold medal that bad.
I really don't.
They only get exposure.
I was about to say,
that's a fantastic choice of words.
Every four years, right?
Yeah.
So this is their one opportunity to have
their day in the sun.
One shot, one opportunity.
Literally one shot at this point.
You ain't putting that needle next to
mine.
You ain't putting it next to mine once,
much less twice.
I'm going to go ahead.
Since Shannon's in the chat,
I'm going to ask this question.
First of all,
what is that stuff that you were talking
about, the hydroloric, whatever it is?
And secondly, there's no way that's safe.
I just don't see where that's a good
idea.
So please, Dr. Shanna,
break that down for us.
She said acid, right?
Yeah, acid was definitely in the title.
One, needle's not coming close.
Two, acid's not coming close.
No.
Two of the three words.
Yeah.
No.
No.
No, both words.
It's hydroloric acid, like hydroloric.
I don't even know what that is,
but hydro doesn't sound great.
Loric.
No.
And then you add acid to the end
of it and it comes in a needle.
No, I'm good.
I'm good.
I'm just going to wear the suit that
fits me.
It's fine.
I'll come in third.
Whatever.
It's fine.
Is that considered a PED?
Do you get banned for that?
Penis enhancing device.
PED stands for at that point.
Well, four years ago,
I just used a pump.
Now they've got this injection.
It's wild, man.
I got a needle.
It's crazy.
Oh, okay.
It already exists in the body and is
a gooey substance.
There are way, way too many jokes.
Yeah,
that would kill the rest of our time
today.
Yeah.
All right.
So the Olympics start this weekend.
It's used in skin care and such to
warm things up.
Hans and Franz,
we are here to plump you up.
Oh.
Oh, come on, Jenna.
You know the pun was intended.
Oh, yeah.
No, you nailed that.
You nailed that.
It's just like lip filler.
Ortega says, no, Ortega,
I don't believe it is.
Don't believe it is.
Damn, you guys.
Don't you know I'm in recovery?
It's, again, lip filler,
hyaluronic acid near my junk.
Same, same, but different.
Yeah.
Either way, no needles.
No needles.
Not today.
Not today.
Anyway, all right,
Olympics opening ceremonies are tonight.
Go check out the ski jumping.
You are more well-informed about the ski
jumping than probably you ever have been
in an Olympics past.
Oh,
I love more about ski jumping today than
I've ever known.
That's a hard fact.
Okay, and with that,
the other thing I had on my agenda
is you did the qualifiers for Monster
Games.
I got two left.
You got two left.
I got two left.
I got a competition.
I got a local competition I'm doing
tomorrow with one of my training partners.
So I was going to do another one
this morning,
or actually I was going to finish them
out last night and then this morning,
and then I was like, nah,
let me go ahead and just kind of
focus on that.
So we just practiced for that.
I got two left.
I'll do them next week.
Yeah, I know.
Hard fact.
I know.
I tried to steer us away from that.
Shanna brought us back on course.
Here we are.
Okay.
So how's it going?
Feeling good?
Yeah.
Actually, very good.
Very good.
I'm not going to give away any of
my scores.
I know people that do that.
But one of them I'm not ever doing
again in my entire life,
if I can help it.
It's just twenty four minutes long unless
you finished it, which I did not.
It's just miserable the entire time.
And then the other two that I got
done were kind of sort of in my
wheelhouse as far as that's concerned.
One of them was definitely in my
wheelhouse.
I'm not calling my shot,
but good luck if you're going to beat
me on that one.
I'll just go ahead and leave that leave
that there.
And I got to like I said,
I got to love to do.
Yes, Ortega.
Next week,
I'm going to fitness of the coast.
Real quick,
one thing that doesn't require a gooey
substance or a needle or hyaluronic acid
is a Thirdsy.
It helps you recover.
It helps you sleep.
It is awesome.
You need to check that out with code
Jazzy at checkout or go to thirdsy.com
backslash Jazzy.
It's your best recovery product on the
market.
Yeah, that's what I'm here for.
Or take it that my whole job is
just to find the right segue.
Cori, how many people qualify for monster?
They do wild stuff.
They hang ropes over a pool.
They did that last year.
Which is crazy to me.
The Masters didn't get to do that.
That was only for RX and Elite.
But the only reason why we didn't get
to do it is because they didn't have
enough pool.
It wasn't enough to be able to run
everybody through.
Yeah.
So not everybody has legends at ASU with
correct mass,
most mass lanes to go to those women.
Maybe, maybe not more.
Mark's accent.
If I went, so I didn't,
I ignored it cause I know you want
to keep your score secret.
I didn't even pull it up.
Maybe, maybe not.
So cool.
Wish we could have things like that here.
Maybe, maybe someday.
Boss games is fun as shit, dude.
Shout out to...
Jason Ainsley.
To Jason Ainsley for putting on a
ridiculously good event.
Red ran on time the entire time,
even when they had to switch stuff up.
We were supposed to do a long event
first over the summer,
and it rained the night before,
and they were worried about it still being
thunderstormy and whatnot.
So they switched everything from that was
supposed to be on Saturday to Friday and
switched Friday to Saturday.
So changed the order of the events around,
and everything still went off without a
hitch.
So good on them.
Mark Phillips,
I may go this year debating.
It's a trek, and I'm lazy.
Hey, brother.
I got to fly.
Well, I don't have to,
but I'm going to because it's like a
six-hour drive, and I'm not doing that.
It's Missouri, right?
Yeah, Kansas.
Overland Park.
It's on the border.
It's like Kansas, Missouri area.
It's Overland Park, Kansas, where I was.
Okay.
So my goal this year with this channel
is to not put so much pressure on
myself at events that I go to that
I have to get out product from that
weekend.
I want to do more sit down in
person interviews that I can use
throughout the year to fill in for when
I like I can't be on the air.
and be more like conversations that aren't
specific to the event,
but just overall conversations.
And I'm just trying to find some places
where I can go do that,
where the athlete isn't like overly
stressed.
And, and, and I,
and the master's events are always great
for that because the master's athletes are
all willing to usually sit down and have
a conversation with me.
um and so that's what i'm hoping to
do in the in the coming months uh
this year let you guys as an audience
know we had some legit athletes um at
monster games last year it was a lot
of fun i know mfc is a lot
closer for you i mean you can drive
there in an hour and a half or
whatever whatever it is with three hours
uh it's not
less than that,
which I might actually be doing this year.
So we shall see.
I plan on doing the qualifiers.
Oh, speaking of that,
shout out to my boy, Rob, who,
Rob Guillory,
one of my best friends in the entire
world, former owner of an affiliate,
now just working out at actually two
separate affiliates because of where he
works, bought me a handstand pushup mat.
you go it's sitting in the back of
my jeep no more dq for you no
no so it's like there i didn't want
to i wanted to share this with everybody
i got a text yesterday that um another
person from this channel uh jamie latimer
ford giggles decided to do some of the
far east throw down qualifiers did she
roll a ten k she rode the ten
k yesterday
No, she didn't.
Did she really?
I'm about to text her.
She sent me the screenshot of her splits.
Yeah.
She said it was pretty awful.
Oh yeah.
I know somebody else who did it and
said the exact same thing.
Like she was asking for advice.
It's like, okay, like what,
what's a good time for a ten K
row?
Because who knows that?
Right.
Not many people do.
So she,
she's thinking about doing all of them to
test out her hip.
Yeah.
And just to see where she's at.
But with no, like,
visions of trying to qualify for the Far
East Throwdown or anything like that,
but just do them and see kind of
where she sits on the leaderboard.
That's a good test.
Mr. John George,
if you're talking about the Qualifier for
Monster Games, you can still sign up.
Scores are not due until the end of
next week.
Actually, like, eleven days from today,
if I'm not mistaken.
And it's only five workouts.
And, uh, ten K is a butt hurt.
I, I,
what I asked her is the last time
I did a five K I blistered on
my hands.
And I said, like, did you wear gloves?
And she actually just taped up,
but she said she wished she would have
used more tape because her, um,
her hands were hurting at the end.
It's a long time to be on a
rower, dude.
It is.
It's a lot.
And you don't think about the friction of
the,
the paddle as you're pulling every time.
Right.
So like I'm doing,
I'm all the way into this.
Oh, excuse me.
It's two K row progression that, uh,
brands got me doing and I've rode like
eight, eight thousand in the morning,
but it's intervals.
So like I'll row a thousand and then
rest four minutes or, you know,
whatever the case may be, it hurts,
but it's not constant.
Like I'll put the, I'll put,
let the damn thing go and I'll stand
up and kind of move around and whatnot.
I cannot fathom doing that all at once.
Mark Phillips can confirm wrote a half
marathon in between finger blisters were
the only issue.
Yeah.
I, uh, yeah, I,
the last time I did a five K
I got blisters.
So like I can only imagine, um, uh,
Lito says I'd much rather ski a ten
K. I think I would too.
Yeah.
I mean, all you got to do,
you can have a much looser grip because
of the way the handles are.
And you just kind of keep rolling.
I mean,
your shoulders would be freaking lit up.
Your abs.
Your abs.
Oh, yeah.
Core.
A hundred percent.
But overall, yeah,
I'd probably rather do that.
Your ass wouldn't be hurting from just
sitting on that thing.
Even with a pad underneath it, dude.
Like, it's just miserable.
Just sitting.
Yeah.
of my best friends they used to do
they would split a tin cave between him
and his wife every sunday morning like
that's what they would do but they would
like jeff would roll a thousand tracy
would roll a thousand or whatever but like
real easy you know just kind of going
back and forth that's what they're saying
their sunday morning thing but uh in a
shoot i've done a ten k three or
four times but i'm not good just did
it as a challenge
Yeah,
I've done like the holiday things where
like four of us split up,
I don't know,
like a ten K or a twenty K.
But when you're breaking it up,
it's not nearly as bad as when you're
just sitting there by yourself slugging
along.
Yeah, ten K is crazy.
The last thing I wanted to share is
last night I was watching the NFL honors
where they hand out all the, the,
the season awards and just another thing
that made me smile.
And I just wanted to share and prop
up a Louisiana company.
Here's Matt Stafford who won the MVP.
He took his wife and four daughters to
the event and he took them.
He brought them up on stage with him
when he got the award and look at
that cuteness.
um and they went out and celebrated with
some canes raising canes chicken fingers
good lord the one that's right next to
him looks just like him yeah the one
right below yeah the one right right
standing right in front like that's a
little mirror look at that yeah it's crazy
isn't it that's wild
But I thought it was so cool that
he took the girls up on stage with
him.
And he announced that he is going to
play again next season because he loves
having them as a cheerleader on the
sidelines.
He's getting old, dude.
Like, you don't realize it,
but Matt Stafford's been around for quite
some time now.
He was thirty seven for this season,
so he'll be thirty eight next year in
football years.
That's old.
Yeah.
Um,
the bears who ended up winning two awards.
So I was pumped because we never win
anything ever and, uh,
ended up winning a play of the year.
Uh,
Caleb had enough of those that they had
plenty to choose from.
And, uh, Joe Tooney, uh,
our left guard won offensive protector of
the year lineman award,
which was really cool.
So I was pumped for that,
but while we're talking about NFL stuff,
I'm going to point out the fact that
drew breeze is a first ballot hall of
famer.
And he should be.
Yes, he damn well should be.
And he should be.
That dude has meant more to New Orleans
and the state of Louisiana than most
people will ever know and actually
realize.
Yeah, it was a fun watch.
They were really funny.
Some good jokes and stuff last night.
Really fun to watch.
The Super Bowls this weekend,
do you have a pick?
No,
my daughter wants to watch the Puppy Bowl.
She didn't give a damn about the Super
Bowl.
Well, I'll be watching the Super Bowl.
I don't know enough about either team
that's in it to be able to make
any kind of educated decision whatsoever.
I just know it's what the Patriots in
Seattle.
Yep.
Yeah.
So I'm going to take Seattle in a
convincing win.
Gotcha.
That's Seattle's NFC team?
Correct.
Yeah,
so I guess I'm being side of the
Saints and NFC.
I'll just go with Seattle too.
Why not?
I think the NFC was a much harder
division to get out of.
And I think they were tested much harder
than the Patriots were.
And I think that their defense is going
to smother Drake May and the Patriots.
And it could end up being...
The quarterback's name is Drake?
Yeah, no,
I'm definitely taking Seattle then.
There you go.
Whatever the reason, man.
It's a fifty fifty shot.
Just nobody named Drake should be playing
in the Super Bowl.
Sorry.
It's just maybe that's my own personal
thing.
Whatever.
What about Kendrick?
Kendrick can play?
Kendrick Lamar?
I thought he was just doing a halftime
show.
Or did it last year, I guess.
Not so much this year.
I'm just making a joke because they have
that beef back and forth.
Kendrick and Drake?
Yeah, no, a hundred percent.
I didn't even have anything to do with
it, but that's just another good reason.
I like Kendrick Lamar,
so moving right along.
Yeah,
there's so much beef about the Super Bowl
halftime show.
I could care less, dude.
No, I really don't care.
They're not watching that Super Bowl
halftime show to me.
They're marketing it to the younger
generation and the world.
They keep playing more and more games
overseas.
There's a reason for that.
They're trying to expand their market.
That's what they're doing.
Last year's was cool with Kendrick Lamar.
I did watch that.
But then before then...
Prince.
Prince is probably the best one I've ever
seen.
I would say Prince is the best one
I've ever seen.
I thought the nineties death row, Dr.
Dre Snoop.
That was good.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I forgot about that one.
Coming in like a bat upside down.
Yeah.
Crazy.
That was fantastic.
Other than that though, dude,
like they're just not memorable anymore.
There was a Springsteen one that was
pretty good.
There was a Rolling Stones one that was
pretty good.
Anybody that has a ton of hits and
can just... Honestly,
Katy Perry I thought was great.
She filled the stadium.
I hate when someone gets it and they
just stay on this little itty-bitty stage
in the middle.
Getting it used the stadium.
And when she had those big things walk
in on stilts, that was freaking awesome.
I mean,
Prince made it rain for Purple Rain.
Yeah, he did, man.
I don't know what else to say.
My favorite halftime show was Prince,
but my least favorite Super Bowl because
the Bears lost.
I mean, it'd be like that.
yeah uh left shark yeah left shark got
all the variety yeah okay yeah yeah i
do remember that now i remember the left
short stuff anyway like that was hilarious
yeah yeah memorable anything that makes it
memorable is cool uh but i hope you
guys enjoy the super bowl this weekend
hope you guys enjoy the olympics opening
ceremonies are tonight do you watch
opening ceremonies because like there's a
lot of countries man
It reminds me of when they in twenty
nineteen,
when they brought the national champions
in for the games and like they just
like people just kept coming and kept
coming and kept coming and kept coming.
And you were like,
what is happening right now?
It's the same thing for the Olympics,
right?
Like they had their little show when
they're little people doing it, whatever.
It's Italy.
I have absolutely no idea.
I used to be throwing pasta at people.
I really don't know what's going to
happen.
And then, like you said, it's just it's
And here comes Botswana.
And here comes, you know, whoever else.
We did get word that some of the
soccer games for the twenty eight Olympics
in L.A.
are going to be held here in Columbus.
Yeah.
Columbus is soccer town USA.
Like it's national court.
Like that's a two year old stadium.
Yeah.
Well, what I'm saying is,
is that the U.S.
men's national team doesn't lose in
Columbus.
It's ridiculous, dude.
Like, they really, really don't.
That's considered their home,
if you want to call it that.
No, there's going to be games played,
I say, right down the street.
Houston is a three-and-a-half-hour,
four-hour drive from me.
Yeah, they're doing some in Missouri.
some here uh because la doesn't have
enough to to hold everything no no all
over the country which is wild to me
because like you might play in columbus
one night and like two days later you
might have to play again in la it's
that's that's that's a tighter window than
people give it credit for like you are
leaving the stadium
My thoughts were like in pool play,
like the four teams in pool A will
all stay in the one city until that
pool play is done.
Right.
That's how I guessed.
I have no idea.
I don't know if they will or not.
That's the thing.
Like,
won't know until it actually shows up.
It's going to be fun to watch, though.
I love, I'm a big soccer fan, so.
Yeah.
With that, guys, it's been a blast.
I'm going to hop off here and go
check some ski jumping out.
As you should.
Yeah.
He's going to hop off,
ladies and gentlemen,
to check out the ski jump.
And I'll report back what I find with
the ski jumping next Monday.
So the schedule this week,
just so you guys know,
we are not going to compete against the
Super Bowl on Sunday night.
So the Sunday night show is moving to
Tuesday this week.
Monday night's packed.
Monday is Boys Interrupted,
the WOD Prep Podcast.
Both great choices.
Let them run.
And Dave's Week in Review.
So those three all run Monday night.
So we're just going to go to Tuesday
night where there's nothing on,
and we're going to hop on with the
girls on Tuesday night.
So weekend off,
back Monday with this show.
Then Tuesday night will be the Sunday
night show.
Nice.
And hopefully after that,
we'll be back to regular Sundays going
forward.
Thank you, Shanna, for all of the insight.
And with that,
I hope you guys have a great rest
of your day.
