We also bring you Breaking News, Human Interest Stories and report on the Methodology of CrossFit. We also use the methodology to make ourselves the fittest we can be.
And he said, no, honey,
it don't have an eye.
It's just a tropical storm.
From the gym to the screen, yeah,
we cover it all.
Midday motivation every time you press
call.
Lunch with the Clydesdale.
Cowboy bring the heat.
Crossfit, boobies, music on repeat.
Half hour hustle, yeah,
we building that brand.
Grab a plate, tune in now,
you part of the fam.
It's lunch time!
Like I just scored a goal at the
World Cup.
Goal!
Jacob,
I am sure you are not the only
one twerking to the intro.
I can promise you not because I'm dancing
while I'm standing here the entire time.
You can ask Scott.
He's watching me act to ass while we're
just waiting for it to finish.
Corey makes people twerk all over the
world.
Yeah, I'm pretty good at it.
It's kind of a talent.
That intro song has me singing it off
and on all day.
So when we first introed that one,
it was stuck in my head all the
time.
Then we did the outro with the jazz
version of it.
And that's the one that I can't get
out of my head.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Same.
What's going on, everybody?
Welcome to Lunch with the Clydesdale.
I'm the Clydesdale.
He's the cowboy.
We are here back in the saddle,
as the song says, for another day.
Meg says,
how do we get them off the rail
right off the bat?
That doesn't take any effort.
That implies that we were on a rail
to begin with.
which is not a thing fyi anybody had
told you all that like scott will write
some notes down from time to time and
i don't write down um but that's about
as far as it gets and then even
then those are like merely suggestions i
don't know if you've ever seen uh
I'm sure most people have.
Spoiler alert.
Pirates of the Caribbean.
It's kind of like the Pirate's Code.
It's really more like guidelines.
It's about as far as it gets.
Mark Phillips says we have zero likes.
You know what that means?
It means you got to go down,
hit that little thumb button,
get your like.
If you don't like us,
hit the down button.
Yeah, that's fine.
We're good with that too.
Yeah, any of those work.
You can comment.
You can hit the notifier so you know
when stuff's coming up.
And most importantly, you can subscribe.
Comment and tell us you don't like my
shirt.
Like, it's fine.
Why is he wearing that hat?
It looks faded.
Well,
it's because it's full of sweat and salt.
Like, whatever.
It's the only hat I had handy.
I'm going to get my hair done tomorrow.
Um,
Ed's from the eighties rails were
different back then.
Fact.
Uh, is there a button for me?
No, you have to type that in clock.
A hundred percent.
You can comment, man.
Let me do that too.
Thanks.
Meg says she doesn't like your shirt.
Um,
And Denise is a member.
And she says, you can be one too.
The lowest level of membership is like the
lowest level of that YouTube allows me to
put it at.
And that's what just keeps this equipment
running.
Two bucks a month or something.
I think it's three ninety nine.
But yeah, maybe it's three ninety nine.
Either way.
Four dollars.
It's like buy your buy us a ghost.
Or, if you're in the chat right now,
you could be lucky enough to win one
of the five memberships that Mark Phillips
just put up.
Because Mark is the man.
Yeah,
Mark is responsible for most of our actual
subscription at this point.
Just from him, just be like,
I got twenty bucks, bam, there you go.
It is cheaper than a coffee, Denise.
It is.
Depending on where you're at,
a hundred percent.
It's even cheaper than a ghost or a
C four or any of those things too.
However you get, you get your caffeine.
We don't care.
No, no.
Mostly because we don't have a sponsor.
If we did have, if like,
if it was Thursday and ghosted and we'd
be like, no, you should be buying ghost,
which if ghost, that goes,
people are listening.
Yeah.
Hey man, drinking it right now.
I'm drinking it for free while I'm paying
for it.
Like if you want to sponsor the show,
we will take your money.
Um, yeah, the, uh, the,
the membership is way cheaper than gas.
A hundred percent.
And now that you can't afford to go
anywhere,
you might as well sit back and listen
to us.
Yeah.
Why wouldn't you?
So I have, um, some breaking news.
There was a demand.
There was an ask.
It has been done.
They're coming.
Are you ready?
Yeah.
Ba-bam.
Let's go.
I just approved this proof.
Early this morning.
So they should be here in the next
few weeks.
Just across the games.
I need to get some details together on
how I'm going to take orders.
That's probably a pretty good idea.
That's probably a pretty good idea.
This is definitely some ready, fire,
aim stuff because, like,
we got the design made.
We got the shape ordered.
I just got to figure out how we're
going to actually get them to people and
how we're going to do it.
They're ordered.
They're paid for.
The design is done.
All that is out there.
And I wanted to find a color that
was different than, like, everything else.
And our colors are blue and yellow.
So went with the blue with the barbell
logo.
And, yeah.
we the same color i got them right
now yeah so anyway they're out there um
i'll figure out a way to take the
orders in a way that makes sense um
and i gotta figure out how much it
would cost to ship this stuff so i
just know what my total cost is in
it i'm thinking i'm gonna sell them for
twenty which is a pretty good deal these
days i would think so
but we will figure it out,
and I'll get all the details out to
you.
But I wanted to get you excited.
They are ordered.
The proof is approved,
and they are moving through the process.
Get your Clydesdale merch soon.
And I will bring a limited amount with
me to the games and kind of have
them in my backpack if people run into
me.
That's why I like the twenty bucks,
because then I don't need any change.
A hundred percent.
Easy done.
Right.
Easy done.
Oh, hold up.
See,
let's talk about twenty five at a minimum.
Yeah,
but then I then I have to have
change.
Yeah.
You know what I mean?
Or you could take Venmo.
I could.
And that'll probably be one of the
options.
Yeah, I'll take Venmo.
I have cash app.
I have all the things.
But yeah.
Look, next year,
when I inevitably end up selling Hawken
t-shirts to fund my trip to the games,
we're going to take whatever kind of,
however you, like, it don't matter.
You're going to send me a money order,
a cashier's check.
I do not care.
You want to pay me in change next
time you see me?
Done.
Do not care.
Yep.
Jason Bourne, yeah,
I've got all the things.
I've got Zelle, Cash App, Venmo, PayPal.
pick a thing, you name it.
But really all I want to do is
make enough money on this to,
to make some other things.
Absolutely.
To have out there.
I've had a,
I've had an ask for some banners.
Um, right here.
Yep.
So, uh,
not as big as the one behind you.
Right.
Yeah.
Not as big as,
but probably like a flag.
Yeah.
You know that you can hang in your
garage gym or whatever.
Um,
And now Jason Bourne wants a patch.
So, yeah,
we're trying to come up with some
different things.
Hey, I'm going to tell you right now,
Jacob said socks,
and I am in for socks.
I am a huge fan of – we
got socks at Fitness to the Coast this
year, and they are choice,
like absolutely choice.
Brandon made socks for camp.
like three years ago, something like that.
And I just wore a hole in them
earlier this year.
And it's a hole big enough that I
can't actually wear them anymore.
Not like just a small hole where I
can continue wearing them.
Socks, love socks, big fan.
The other thing, I do have another logo.
I have the Jazzy logo with the horse
playing the saxophone.
So we have that too.
uh i still wear mcdonald's happy meal
grinch socks don't tempt me mark at
fittest of the coast the pb fit people
were there and they had like a little
wheel you could spin and win a prize
and i won socks two days in a
row and i was like over the moon
because they had pb fit socks i'm telling
you ask any of my partner like people
like the people i was there with they
were like it's just some white socks with
the low pb fit logo i'm like you
damn right it is
A hat with a Clydesdale main out the
back.
That's something you can comment after the
show.
Put that in underneath YouTube.
All of the merch requests.
And I'll take it to my creative team
and we'll see what we can pull off.
Take it to my creative team,
who is me.
yeah um yeah me and and the Clydesdale
singers hundred percent it's a
collaborative marketing consult it's a
collaborative effort they're creatives man
singers are creative you gotta
The hat would be epic.
Vicky,
the problem with the hat being epic with
a pony,
like an actual horse tail coming out the
back of it,
is that's a whole different crowd.
That's nice.
Generally speaking,
the crowd that we're looking for at this
point.
Arnson wants the main since he's
follically challenged.
Hold on for a second.
I still have this.
let me see yeah here we go full
clydesdale oh man been in there a while
there we go we're not hat kind of
people we're just full head kind of people
i mean we could do hats or i'm
just saying this is an option
Yeah, you missed it.
They wanted you to do jazz hands with
the horse head on.
I can't hardly see on that thing at
all.
Jazz hands?
You can do jazz hands.
No,
I couldn't see that they needed me to
do jazz hands on it because I can't
see out of it.
I've been having this for quite some time.
I actually wore that at the last wedding
and I was the best man in.
so there's pictures of me with tony and
the other groomsmen and like uh we're
getting ready in the hotel room before
with drinks in our hands and me with
that uh with that mask on i've been
having it for a while uh jacob wants
to know what the smell was like was
it like cladsdale socks no it's rubber it
just smells like rubber it's like a rubber
horse mask it sounds exactly like you
think it would
So Ken says,
we're not only off the rails,
we're a train car pileup.
I had to go see.
I knew I had it.
I just didn't know if I still had
it.
Yeah, Judy says,
that reminds me of the scene in The
Godfather.
Yeah, but it was still attached, Judy.
Yeah.
Corey said it was still attached,
so we're okay.
Which is a good thing.
All right.
What do I want to talk about?
So I do want to say I've been
watching two shows lately.
I talked to you about ponies.
Yes.
It is getting better and better and
better.
At first I thought it was going to
be this quirky little funny thing.
Right.
It's got serious like intrigue into it
now.
Very good.
I'm like four episodes into six.
It's only six total.
And then maximum pleasure guaranteed.
has me on the edge of my seat.
That thing is taking a turn into
must-watch in the last episode or two.
The only thing we knew... See,
that was my problem, Winter.
That was my problem when he first
mentioned it.
When he told me what the title was,
I said, excuse me?
Yeah, Clydesdale Watching Ponies.
Yes, I am.
Anyway,
the only thing I've watched here recently
besides a couple World Cup matches is how
I found another documentary the other
night about this chick who faked a
pregnancy while she was married to this
dude and like
I didn't finish it because they were
getting to the point where she stole this
other woman's newborn baby and tried to
act like she had het, bro.
It was bad.
Really, really bad.
And I was like, I'm not finishing this.
There's no possible way.
It was terrible.
This woman is absolutely, yeah.
Yeah.
Was it a maternal instinct?
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, man.
Holy smokes, dude.
I couldn't finish it because they were
getting to the point like they started
describing or talking about the woman that
she apparently stole the baby from.
And I'm assuming murdered because they
didn't talk to her.
And I turned it off.
I was like, nope,
I know where this is going.
I do not want to see the end
of this.
There's no way.
Trent says that Maximum Pleasure
Guaranteed sounds like a different kind of
show.
And that's what,
I don't want to say that's what sucked
me in.
So the premise of the show is that
the woman witnesses a crime while hiring
an online sex chat person.
So that's where the title comes from.
And that's what kind of sucked me in.
And she witnesses a crime happen to the
person she hired.
And then everything kind of goes from
there.
Yeah.
And the name of the website is match
maximum pleasure guaranteed.
It's a money back guarantee.
Um, but man,
a lot of people have seen those, those,
uh,
that documentary.
So here's my life.
Like my wife is so into true crime
that I heard about that story like years
ago when it actually happened.
When it happened, yeah.
Because she follows that stuff always,
always.
The whole thing is absolutely,
it's bananas crazy,
like from start to finish.
And when they start talking about,
talking to her old friends that actually
know like the real her,
then it gets even worse.
Yeah.
Whoa there, Wilbur.
Whoa, sorry.
Just knocking stuff off the desk.
No,
I actually hit the volume button and it
spiked it.
Got it.
This is a synopsis of Maximum Pleasure
Guaranteed online.
As a divorced fact checker who falls into
a web of murder, blackmail,
and youth soccer.
That's pretty much, that sums it up.
It's the youth soccer for me.
That is a wild combination of things.
All I've watched is people send me final
videos.
My wife should send HQ a WT at
this point.
W-two at this point.
Speaking of W-twos,
I got a letter from the IRS.
So they thank you for your payment,
but we want more.
Of course it does.
Of course they do.
The IRS is the trip.
I forgot where I saw it.
I don't know if it was a comedian
that was saying it or it was just
written down somewhere.
But the IRS is like, hey,
you owe us some money.
And you're like, cool.
How much is it?
Well,
you need to figure that out yourself.
But we know.
But if you get it wrong,
we'll probably send you to jail for the
rest of your life.
Why don't you just tell me?
Well, I didn't get the jail notice,
thank God.
But I did say, hey,
we need we need two hundred fifty bucks
more.
Jesus Christ.
Sorry,
you were wrong and you owe us two
hundred fifty dollars.
Apparently,
the online semis are a different type of
terrifying documentary.
One percent.
My problem with the IRS one more time
is that.
How are you going to tell me to
figure it out and then you tell me
I'm wrong after you tell me to figure
it out?
That's what I don't get.
That's where the disconnect is.
Yeah, of the two fifty,
some of that was interest because I
figured it out wrong.
And the time it took them to tell
me it accrued interest when I owed them.
But they never pay you on the interest
if they take too much and have to
give you a refund.
Yeah, no, it don't work that way.
Yeah.
Awesome.
So the online semis are out there.
People are looking at the videos.
They're getting upvotes or downvotes or
whatever.
I've tried to avoid doing anything like
that on the show because I don't want
to
point something out and then see that a
bunch of people then go look at that
one and give it the same vote.
Sure.
Right.
Because I do think there needs to be
an equitable amount of review in the first
twenty or thirty athletes.
Because all of that impacts the
leaderboard.
And probably more, but that the most.
Yeah.
Anybody who's impacting the leaderboard.
You got a one-off score from somebody who
ended up in thirty-fifth,
but they came third on one of them.
We need to look at that score.
All of it.
I would go by...
finishes per workout if that makes sense
like the first like whatever the first
workout is the top ten finishes let's go
look at all those videos no matter who
they are that's probably the the the most
efficient way to go about doing it and
just kind of work work from there yeah
per event absolutely seeing me and
tristan's on the same page he's a coach
i'm a coach a little bit different but
you know same thing
Yeah.
So now we're just kind of playing the
waiting game.
Next week,
we'll probably see some fluctuation in the
leaderboard.
Thank goodness this time I actually took a
screenshot of the leaderboard when it went
live.
Smart.
So I can actually then see where the
differences come once things start moving.
Beautiful thing.
Beautiful thing.
can't wait i mean not that i would
know again because i haven't looked at any
of it but i'm assuming there hasn't been
much movement or if any yet i mean
it's only thursday i don't think crossfit
even starts their process until the public
review is over and when is that i
want to say the end of this week
or monday one of those
But again, I don't have my L-I anymore,
so I can't do the judge review.
Got it.
So I don't know for sure because I
haven't really looked into that.
I'll probably end up taking the advanced
judge's course at some point because
apparently it's good for three years.
I did not know that.
I didn't realize that, I should say.
So I'll probably end up taking that at
some point this summer just to be able
to have it and not have to worry
about it when the Open comes around next
year.
I'm judging people in the gym.
I don't know who I heard this from,
but I thought they were going to do
all reviews and then only once publish a
finalized leaderboard,
not real-time shakeups.
If that's what they're doing,
that is not how they have done anything
else this season.
Not saying they're going to change because
God knows they do.
Hard to say.
That's a bold statement to think that
they're not just going to randomly and
arbitrarily completely just change how
they're doing everything so far.
The age groups changed live during the HQ
review.
The teams changed during the live HQ
review.
Even quarterfinals.
I moved up and down four different times
during quarterfinals.
And I would add,
I moved up and down four different times
during quarterfinals and there was no
rhyme or reason why.
Cause it like, it didn't seem,
cause I kept going back and look and
I knew where everybody else was ahead of
me.
And like,
I was fifty-six and then I was
fifty-seventh and then I was fifty-third
for a while.
And then that went away.
Probably the whole thing was bananas.
Uh, Cows and CrossFit,
the review ends this afternoon.
I'm pretty sure.
That's quick if it is.
It is.
Three days.
Wow.
If that's the case,
if it's only three days, dude,
that's not a whole lot of time for
if they're going by what they're supposed
to be doing,
which is looking at people who are saying,
hey,
this needs to be looked at or that
doesn't need to be looked at or whatnot.
They're going by their thing.
That's not a whole lot of time to
give people to look at those videos.
I would have thought it would have been
longer than that.
Having said that,
I have absolutely no idea.
but it seems like that would be pretty
short.
Yeah.
Well, since we're waiting on that,
there's a couple other things that have
kind of snuck in the new cycle.
One of them being this little gem.
I don't know if you saw this.
It's a real,
I don't need to play the real,
but the Atlantic coast classic announced
that in twenty twenty seven,
it will become a part of the world
fitness project.
Oh, okay.
And the reason I I'm also hearing that
this is just the the first shoe.
Okay.
That they are going around and bringing on
other competitions into their fold as a
WFP event.
And it doesn't mean that they're going to
be part of the WFP season at this
point.
And this even says there's more details to
come.
I truly believe if you can't build a
community, you're going to buy one.
Yeah.
That's what I was just thinking.
I was like,
you got a gazillion dollars in, in,
in the bank account and it's cheaper to
buy than build.
And so how WFP is going to use
this other than build their own community,
everything I've heard is at this point it
is just WFP supporting these competitions
from a logistics standpoint.
I got word that Jason Ainsley was at
this event last weekend with another
executive from WFP.
I know Monster Games is also going to
be some sort of qualifier for WFP.
I don't know all the details because I
don't care enough to know about it.
I just know I'm going to compete over
there.
But I know it's connected to it in
some sort of way.
So I wonder if there's a long-term look
at...
instead of like three major tour stops,
having a lot of little tour stops where
people can earn points at.
I mean, that would be,
if you're trying to make it into a
complete season and trying to do your own
thing and run parallel to the games,
then yeah,
that's probably a pretty good idea.
And if you're looking at sports like golf
that have tour events every week,
but Rory McIlroy doesn't play in every
tour, right?
He picks the ones he wants to do,
and then he goes to those events to
earn his tour points.
Yep.
Yeah.
This is the,
this is the question from Joey right here.
Like as a title sponsor,
a qualifying event as a title sponsor
only, what's the point?
I don't, I, again,
Joey in the post and my source at
this moment,
they don't have all those details.
Right.
So I'm, I,
I do have people in the know who,
Feeding me information,
but it's very sketchy at this point.
I'm willing to bet if you could talk
to Jason Ainsley,
he would just tell you because he seemed
like that type of dude.
So there have been conversations with
Jason Ainsley,
and we don't know those things yet.
Okay.
I like Jason.
I've met him, like I said,
a couple times.
Dude is solid, man.
He really, really is.
There's no bullshit in him.
He doesn't operate like that.
they recently promoted him to president of
the wfp which is probably the smartest
thing they've done since they've been in
all in completely agree yeah completely
agree that is a great move a guy
who has been in in the community for
years and understands the community to
then be elevated to that point and now
going out into the community to find
partners no
a good dude he cares about this community
and he cares about putting on a good
comp because i he takes it he takes
stuff to heart when you talk when you
tell him like he i had a short
conversation with him at monster games
last year and it wasn't just him going
oh yeah man great whatever like he wanted
more than what i was even you know
because i was just like hey man this
was fun blah blah whatever
and he wanted specifics like he wanted
more conversation than i even had in me
at that point um good dude i like
him a lot uh seems like the hoa
comp is going that way too moved to
indianapolis and going at the same time
place as wfp that's heart of america right
yes that's not homeowners association
company and was zanesley behind that one
too yes yeah yeah so um
Yeah,
and I've heard there are more shoes to
drop on this whole story and even some
bigger comps than what we're hearing
already.
It'll be interesting to see how it plays
out.
So I don't know.
I mean,
it'd be awesome to know the plan behind
all this thing,
but my guess is we are not...
Important enough to know?
Well, right.
Again, I have someone...
in the know giving me information good but
i do not want i will not reveal
my source or anything like that so good
um savon's in the house like and subscribe
what up dude yeah we need we need
those likes we need those subscribes
many as we can get we will take
uh this probably has an ndas to abide
by jason i don't think gives two about
an nta from everything i've heard of him
uh on podcasts and such but if you've
ever heard that dude speak like it takes
about five seconds before you realize oh
yeah you are confident in your ability to
do whatever it is you whatever it is
you say you're about to do cool you
don't give a about what anybody else
thinks like that's how that dude operates
uh shannon wants to know what we think
about the high rocks news what i think
is funny is you know we talked about
the sponsorship issue on sunday night
where uh they have
made lskd and their athletes pull down any
photos that were taken at the event which
is so go back go back to crossfit
games and the nike reebok wars nike wasn't
allowed on property they're driving trucks
around the outside of carson all that
stuff right so i'm like okay now they're
going through the same reebok did or not
reebok crossfit did a year or ten years
ago
Now it's come out that a private equity
company is looking to purchase them.
Welcome to the party, pal.
So all of the stuff that CrossFit already
went through is now hitting high rocks.
Oh,
that is going to be hilarious if it
actually happens.
Be like, welcome to the club there,
buddy boy.
Congratulations.
Hey,
enjoy not having any control over the
decisions you actually make anywhere in
the near future.
Have fun.
Yeah.
And it's, to me, it's just like,
listen it stems from crossfit and i heard
chris cooper say you should embrace them
because they're training crossfit to do
high rocks sure and a lot of them
are doing it at crossfit gyms and that
makes perfect sense to me and i think
you should as an affiliate owner embrace
people who are doing high rocks because my
thing is at some point at some point
they're going to get bored with the same
ten things
they're going to be like hey that guy
over there is lifting that barbell or hey
they're up on that pull-up rig doing
muscle-ups and pull-ups how do i get that
yeah so uh crossfit's buying it through
their private equity
That would be hilarious.
That would be the funniest thing that
happened all year.
Berkshire's like, hey,
let's buy High Rocks and combine the two.
Joseph's saying.
High Rocks is the new Zumba.
It really is not, though.
Like,
I understand that it's really easy to jump
on the Bash High Rocks bandwagon.
But it is elements of CrossFit.
And by embracing those athletes,
at some point, they're going to want more.
That's human nature.
If they're invested and if they're
actually doing stuff in your classes to
get them ready for a high rocks,
and that's why they came there in the
first place to try to get fitter so
they could do a high rocks.
First of all, they're going to see people,
if you're running your classes correctly,
doing wall balls to standard, right?
Squatting below parallel,
hitting a target, all that good stuff.
So that's going to rub off.
And then, yeah.
You're in a class a couple of different
times and like we're not doing the same
shit every day It's just like we're not
running wall balls ski or whatever else
they do It's not it's not repeated every
day.
So like you're gonna come in the next
day and be like, well,
what are we doing today?
Uh today we're doing a one rep back
snatch and then we're gonna do uh You
know,
whatever muscle ups and and snatch it
we're gonna do Something along those lines
afterwards Oh How is that gonna get me
ready for my high rocks?
Oh, it's gonna make you fitter
And you're going to be able to perform
better.
I want to address this.
Ken Walters says,
I've run five and ten Ks for years.
I never look over at the marathoners and
say, hey, how can I?
No, not once.
But here's the difference.
Here's the difference.
I didn't say that they were going to
come in and do a hundred wall balls
and look over and go,
how do I do one fifty?
Right.
Or how do I do two fifty?
Right.
No,
I'm saying they're looking over and seeing
something completely different that's not
in their bag of tricks.
Yep.
How do I get my body to do
a muscle up?
A hundred percent.
So when you're a five care and you're
looking at a marathon or you're still
doing the same motion, the same movement,
you're just doing it for a longer period
of time.
I think what Ken's getting at is that
they're generally speaking that
marathoners about this big around.
don't see a whole bunch of like really
ripped which brings me to my next point
you don't see a whole lot of guys
about this big doing marathons right when
i did both of the ones that i
ran in i was doing crossfit at the
time and i did not look like anybody
else or very few people who are in
line one of the dudes that's in our
email company group blaine is training for
a iron man right now and i
I promise you,
Blaine is the most jacked dude at the
Ironman.
By far.
And it's not even close.
Like,
we got pictures of him from the little
sprint that he did.
And, like, you just look at him, and,
like,
that guy doesn't look like the rest of
them.
So if you're in, you're doing hot rocks,
or you're, like, Ken's talking about,
yeah,
I can go run a five K right
now, ten K, whatever, not a big deal.
I've never looked at those guys,
that marathon guys, and go, whew,
I need to lose fifteen pounds.
I need to get,
I need to get some,
I need to get rid of a whole
bunch of this muscle mass because look at
that.
Like those guys are like, yeah,
I've run two marathons.
Cool.
I didn't finish the second one or I
say I ran, I attempted two marathons,
finished one, didn't finish the other one.
However, at no point was I like,
this is going to be my thing forever.
Cause I want to be this big around
and qualify for Boston and be able to
run super fast and all that good stuff.
No, no,
I want to be fit for life period.
What I find crazy is this narrative that
no high rockster can do anything to
standard.
Right?
Yeah.
How many people do a high rocks in
a weekend?
Ten thousand?
A lot.
They run a lot of people through that
thing.
Right.
And it's really easy to like pull out
four or five videos of people just
massacring the standard.
But I would tempt you to go to
any local comp held on a weekend in
your area and watch an event and tell
me that there's not one or two people
massacring the standards.
Oh, there's probably more than that.
Right?
Yeah.
we are not absolved from blame in this
whole thing.
It's just,
it's a really cool internet kind of thing
to put out there that people aren't
reaching standards in high rocks,
but there are a few that are,
that are too standard and are really good
at what they do.
Yep.
Clock says the Elite Fifteen are now doing
wall balls really well,
just as good as games athletes,
judged by online videos Taylor was looking
at.
Fifteen out of ten thousand.
Good job.
Just watch the online semi videos.
Yeah.
The problem with the online semi-videos,
with the in-person judging that they're
doing and the video review is that if
you do not have someone there who is
actually going to hold you to the
standard, you're cheating yourself,
you're cheating the other people in the
competition at the same time.
I know when I do any online qualifier,
I'm going to have Jeff Plaisance and Manoa
Baggers back there with me,
and they are not going to let anything
slide.
Right,
but that is the exception in most cases.
It shouldn't be.
I understand.
What I'm trying to make the point of
is we bash High Rocks for their lack
of standards when we have the same
problem.
Yeah, we do.
I think it's easier to do because we're
on the outside looking in and looking at
the high rock stuff and go,
you call that a wall ball?
Right?
And then, you know,
they claim to have standards and then all
you see, right, all that gets posted is,
which is easy to do,
it's easy to pick apart, is, you know,
somebody just
Doing that, right?
I've seen someone where a dude was
literally just doing this.
He would catch it and he would throw
it.
But I can tell you I've been to
a local comp where I've seen that.
I haven't in quite some time.
I will say that.
I haven't in quite some time.
Not to that extent.
Come on, Jim.
Just get a little lower.
But not no repping.
Just come on, Jim.
You go to local comps and you get
people who don't want to know rep people.
You get people judging that are cheering
instead of holding people to standards.
We have the same problem that High Rocks
does.
That's all.
I'm not saying that I don't love CrossFit.
One,
I'd never do a freaking High Rocks in
my life.
That is not my jam.
I'm going to tell you what.
I didn't realize how expensive it actually
was.
It ain't cheap, bro, at all.
Aaron was looking at doing one.
We were talking about a couple of weeks
ago at the open gym on Sunday.
And he was like, yeah,
I forget how many hundreds of dollars.
And I was like, do what?
And he's like, yeah.
So I texted Brandon.
I was like, hey,
how much was the last hierarchy did?
Just out of curiosity.
And he told me, and I said,
is that for the doubles price?
Like y'all split that.
And he went, that's per person.
And it was a lot of money.
I do not remember the exact amount,
but I remember going, holy shit.
Cause it was expensive.
And it's one race is however many,
you know, however long it takes you.
I don't know how I have absolutely no
hour, hour and a half.
Let's call it an hour.
Yeah.
As opposed to, and again,
I am being very selfish and partial right
here, but I can spend.
like I did for Monster Games and get
three days of competition out of that as
opposed to an hour and a half and
everything else that comes with it.
So I don't know, dude.
It just... In Taylor's live stream today,
the chat could not come to an agreement
on what was a no rep and what
was a rep on a wall ball.
This while watching online semi-videos,
this shows there's a problem.
Everybody's eyes see something different.
I'm not
All I'm saying is it gets old to
me when everybody's like,
high rocks can't go to standard.
High rocks can't go to standard.
Yeah.
Clearly, we have issues with it as well.
Right.
That's all I'm saying is,
shouldn't we make sure our own kitchen is
clean before we yell about somebody
else's?
Absolutely.
People in glass houses should not throw
stones.
And this is where Joseph and I agree.
I would rather get a full body wax
than do a high rocks.
I would rather Joseph get a full body
high, a full body high rocks,
a full body wax than me do a
high rocks either.
Like if that's my two options,
I'm going to pick Joseph getting a full
body wax and then I won't have to
do a high rocks because I won't have
to do one anyway.
I got to play this.
Hold on.
Yeah.
Ortega agreed with me.
That's all I got to say.
Local competitors are running on local
comps who are usually getting members from
their gym to come in and be volunteer
judges and whatnot.
And yeah,
there's a lot of questionable shit going
on for sure.
The best you can do about that is
try to hold yourself to the standard.
You know if you squat it low enough.
Because if you have to ask, hey,
was that low enough?
It probably wasn't.
As a germaphobe,
doing a high rocks with spitting and
whatnot sounds like a nightmare.
I didn't know that they had an event
of spitting and whatnot.
I didn't realize spitting was part of the
high rocks, Mark.
I didn't know that was one of the
ten stations.
I need you to fill me in on
that.
That's some new shit I did not know
about.
If it is, I might reconsider.
I mean,
is it for distance or is it for
volume?
That's probably another question we need
to...
Or is it like ski jumping where you
have to take in like five factors and
then you give it a judge score of...
Is it subjective?
That has like a nice arc.
Yeah.
uh on the on the distance traveled then
you get then you get screwed by the
german judges because they're looking for
perfection i lost you for a second because
i think you bumped the the mic i
said i said then you get screwed by
the german judges because they're looking
for perfection right right terrible uh
tobacco or watermelon seed probably
watermelon seed i haven't chewed tobacco
since i was in high school
Tristan says a lot of it comes down
to culture it does it absolutely does
culture being coached having somebody
there hey man don't do that type stuff
watching Jacob go live last weekend like
the dude did everything like he was
supposed to none of his shit looked
questionable to me at all whatever the
dude moves extremely well shout out to
Marlo I'm a big fan
Yep.
Well,
I know like when I was doing local
comps,
our gym was so particular about movement
standards.
Us too.
Like we would lose competitions because of
what was allowed to be done.
And there were times where you're done
with the comp going, well,
should I shorten my range of motion to
like compete?
And our coach is like, absolutely not.
Absolutely not.
That's not what this is about.
Mm-mm.
But in the moment,
you want to finish higher.
That's just nature, right?
Most athletes are also going to do
whatever they can get away with.
Like if I am riding the line doing
wall balls, right below,
right at parallel every single time,
and my judge is letting it fly,
then they're going to let it fly.
Like that's just how it goes,
and I'm going to go ahead and ride
that line because I'm trying to go faster
because you made it a race.
It's a competition.
It's not just class workup.
Right.
Yeah, I mean, I'll call him out.
Marcus Cruciaro,
he owns Shred CrossFit here in Columbus,
right?
he is like so meticulous about movement
standard.
Yeah.
The last comp that we did, well,
not the last one,
I didn't get to go to the last
one.
The last one that we did that I
got to be a part of at the
gym.
When we did our, you know,
the little pre-comp thing, you know,
going over standards and whatnot, like,
hey, everybody, everybody,
this is what we're doing.
This is what we're doing.
This is what we're doing.
And I had a big judges meeting beforehand.
Y'all make sure that we are making sure
everybody does this like they are supposed
to be doing.
Everybody's hitting the stand.
uh what yeah well ortega says to under
intend to compete pros in high rocks that
ain't anymore ed says uh that i hate
my job i don't know where he heard
that i know i know he's books his
job's fine yeah i hate my job too
but you know what i don't hate you

interesting way to say thirdsy
We put a blackout blind in our bedroom
last week.
I strongly suggest cutting the serving in
half blackout shade and third Z you'll
never get up.
See that.
I don't, I don't even,
so I blackout drapes in my, my room.
I don't have a problem getting up.
I actually get up refreshed, feel good.
The whole bit.
I don't know what else Ken's mixing in
his third Z.
I think Ken's Thursday got a little
whiskey in it.
Maybe.
A little bit of Thursday for Ken,
a little bit of whiskey for Ken.
Same cup.
Makes it go down smooth.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
A little Eagle Rare, Ken,
with your Thursday.
I mean, I ain't mad at you.
Be quiet.
Ed has blinds and drapes and a sound
machine.

Come on, baby, do the conga.
No, you can't do yourself any longer.
Your dance, dude.
Between that and the horse head, I am...
I can do that with the horse head
also.
FYI, it's right here on my desk.
um yeah i do a fan blackout drapes
and then on youtube i play uh rainstorm
the fan my ceiling fan or ceiling fans
in general is the reason why i don't
want to stay in another hotel room the
rest of my life so i have i
need one to sleep but when i am
looking for
Chris Brogan- airbnbs if I gotta go stay
somewhere for a comp or even vacation or
whatnot like that's a thing or that needs
to be on the list,
like I go to look into the bedrooms
rooms like that seem fair okay cool I
can stay there.
Chris Brogan- Because if not sleep like
crap third year no Thursday,
I need to I need to fan.
i hate to say that but it's true
i take a mini fan with me just
to have the air circulating some way
somehow i need the air moving more than
i need the noise but i definitely need
the air moving like even if the you
know you can drop the thermostat in the
room down to like sixty something and it's
without the air extra moving i sleep hot
um
wayne disco ball and metallica doesn't
matter i can sleep anywhere anytime give
me fuel give me fire give me that
which i desire actually there's a there's
a disco oh it's like metallica and bgs
