what is going on everybody
welcome to a spicy cajun
wednesday with my boy cory
we're here live talking
about the world of
entertainment sports
crossfit all that stuff
I've been in the doldrums
man watching my uh my
pittsburgh pirates win one
game so far this season it
has been atrocious
Didn't the season just start?
Oh yeah.
Yeah.
I mean,
how many games could they have
played at this point where
it's like a problem that
they only won one?
I don't know.
They're playing the Yankees
this weekend and they're torpedo bats.
And so not looking at outlet
let for the weekend or that look,
I need to know what a torpedo bat is.
Cause I heard that certain
might say something about
it on the radio on the way
into work this morning.
And I was like, I don't,
I don't follow baseball near
enough to know what a
torpedo bat even might be.
It sounds like something
they would have on a submarine.
So I'll explain it to you,
but it's going to be a lot
of talk about a shaft.
Got it.
We're talking about the bat shaft.
My fourteen-year-old brain is locked in.
Let's go.
We need to be clear about this, right?
So the typical baseball bat
for years has been weighted
at the very end of the bat.
So your swing speed
increases from physics of
that weight at the end of the bat.
Right.
Someone engineered a bat to
look more like a bowling pin.
And so they've moved the
heaviest part of the bat
down the shaft and
to where, like just below the sweet spot,
what most people would call
the sweet spot of the bat.
Right.
And what that does is it puts...
It doesn't really slow the
bat speed down much,
and it makes the bat have more impact.
Now, if you hit it right,
it doesn't make any difference at all,
but you can hit it wrong
and still get a home run
because of the way the bat's designed.
But it still measures within
everything that baseball
has set forth as the rules
of what a bat has to be.
So it's not illegal in any way.
All they did was move the dense part,
the heaviest part of the
bat down the shaft right
below the sweet spot.
My fourteen-year-old brain
is holding on for dear life.
Many times you said it moved
it down the shaft.
Yeah.
ACR says good old shaft talk.
That's why we're going to
talk about some shafts.
That's what we're here for.
Just talk about shafts.
Just talk about shafts.
So there it is.
It looks like a big bowling pin.
Exactly.
It's like the bit, not the, not the nub,
but the rest of the bowling pin.
Got it.
Looks like that.
All right.
Oh, I'm tracking, I'm tracking, okay.
ACR wants to know what's for lunch.
What are y'all having for lunch?
We've got blackened scallops
and sweet potatoes.
Aaron, I'm on my way.
Yeah.
That is a fancy lunch, man.
For real, I had chicken and rice.
Kenneth's got some leftover
soup of some kind of chicken.
My wife is detoxing me.
Hate when that happens.
And ACR is giving me shit
about my Pirates because
the Reds are even doing better than that.
That's because they got the Torpedo Bat.
So does not everybody have it?
I don't understand.
Torpedo Bat.
Why are they picking on the
Yankees about it?
Are they the only ones who have it?
They have the most players with it,
but there are other players
in the league that have it.
But now there's a demand.
And it's just like this
independent bat company guy
that makes it for himself.
So now it's trying to get...
get the meat to demand got
it I thought the way they
made it sound was like the
yankees the only people
that have them and it's a
problem and they're just
hitting home runs left and
right and like the season's
been going on for a week uh
good old chicken and rice
so what I have waiting for
me after this show is my
mom my wife made uh beef
tips the other night so
beef tips over rice that's
what is on the menu for me
right after this show
And it is, they are so good.
So good.
I saw a meme this morning that said,
same thing for breakfast every day,
normal.
Same thing for lunch every day, normal.
Same thing for dinner every day,
complete psychopath.
And apparently,
I did not know that I was a
complete psychopath because
five to six days a week,
I have the exact same thing for breakfast,
the exact same thing for lunch,
and the exact same thing for dinner.
Tips, shafts, sweet spots, hell of a show.
We need five minutes in yet.
If you had those three
things on your bingo card,
you were well on your way.
Buy a lottery ticket.
Andrew Sten, well, they did the Yankees.
They did hit nine home runs in one game,
but they don't all use torpedo bats.
Eli De La Cruz was the first
to hit a home run with one.
Yeah, get your Reds guy in there.
um andrew said perfect
lead-in for cat show
tonight um you're welcome
cat um and so if you didn't
see cat's new show is is
debuting tonight at eight
o'clock eastern time uh cat
ching feelings uh and that
best name for a show on the
internet at this point
So that'll be at eight o'clock.
And then today at four p.m.
Eastern time,
busy day on the Clydesdale Media YouTube,
we have Ariel Loewen back
for the first time in a while.
And so that should be a fun show too.
Yeah, Stan is correct.
So Kat was in the chat
earlier on Seve's show and
he was asking about it
because he had saw something about it.
And so like he's directing
all those yabbos
myself included,
to go and check out Kat's show tonight.
So chances are,
the chat is going to be like, yeah.
Yeah.
Okay.
Yeah.
That ought to be interesting.
That dude loves him as much as Seven,
excuse me, Seven, oh boy,
yesterday I kept calling him Seven.
As much as Seven likes his
own shows and whatnot,
anybody's got a dating show,
he happens to know he is all
in like he is all in he
wants to know everybody's
drama everybody's business
like uh he watches what
your face is uh yeah
lauren's and you just found
out cat's got one boom he's
in should be interesting
the thing about cat is she
is completely transparent
Yeah.
She will tell you everything
that's happening.
Whether you want to know it or not.
Go back to the vacuum
cleaner story and it shows
you how transparent she can be.
Yeah.
I mean, yeah.
Eight o'clock, man.
Eight o'clock is my bedtime.
We'll, uh, I will try to make it in.
Yeah.
I'll try to make it out.
Ah,
Okay.
So what do we got on tap today?
It is before we get into
like your age group thing.
I did want to say that one
thing I learned last night
and I put it on the
thumbnail is breaking news
from the WFP is we do have
evidence that the world fitness tour,
our world fitness project
tour is doing video review
of the challenger workouts.
Oh,
And so the breaking news is
that Jamie got dinged in
one of her videos.
It has not been reflected on
the leaderboard yet.
How bad?
Real bad.
Her video was removed.
So I'm going to start with this.
And that is that...
They required that you weigh
all of your weights and she
did not weigh her dumbbell on camera.
So it disqualified video two.
Now, I can share my screen.
They've done a different
format of how they've
spelled everything out.
I'll pull it up just so you can see.
I'm not making excuses.
It's in there.
It does say that you have to do that.
Right.
either rogue or the games,
the two kind of premier shows out on the,
the circuit, um,
you get the workout description.
It tells you all the things you must do.
Correct.
Might be eight pages,
but it's all in like that one document.
Right.
So what world fitness project has done, uh,
blew up the wrong screen.
Um,
so they have a workout description and
a scorecard,
and then they have video
submission standards separate.
So when you click on this,
it's all the workout stuff, right?
Floor setup, flow of the workout, scoring,
tie break.
There's the floor plan.
All the typical stuff you
would see like in any other
qualifier or whatever.
Right.
Let me close this one up.
But then in addition to it,
here are all the video standards.
And it does say like equipment,
digital weight scale.
And then down here, your video must.
And I actually like this layout.
It makes it very easy to read.
I'll give them complete kudos on that.
Where I have a problem with
it is when you're bringing
on your new league, a new competition,
and you have new standards
in the way that you're laying things out,
should have been more
emphasis on pointing that
out to the challengers.
Yeah, I was going to say,
if you're doing stuff and
it's going to be slightly
different than what
everybody's already used to,
then you might want to
bring that to everybody's attention.
Hey,
I know normally for the Open or for
online semifinals,
we don't weigh all of our
weights beforehand,
but you are going to need
to do that this time.
Put it out there because
that's kind of a big deal.
So like here,
it's like be recorded in
accordance with the suggested floor plan.
Equipment must be shown.
Equipment must be weighed on
a digital scale.
So it does say it like it is in there.
It's just it's in a different format.
And so while I love the new format,
I think it actually is
clearer when you're setting
up your video.
You have one place to go to
see all of that stuff as
opposed to like a nine-page
document from Rogue trying
to find everything in that format.
um, that document.
Right.
Um,
I just think they should have made
people aware either like a
video short on YouTube or
Instagram or YouTube,
or send something out to
the people who signed up for,
to be a challenger or whatever, but.
Something that was something that was more,
more than just, uh,
a line in the rule book.
I mean, not, not, and again,
I'm with you on the, it's in the rules.
It's a thing, but it's for her,
but just wish they would
have done that because
we've already heard that
Emma McQuaid is out for tour stop one.
She is one of the signed athletes.
So now, so now, so now, so now, so now,
And if you have these things
in your descriptions that
aren't very clear and
people haven't seen before
and you lose a good chunk
of your challengers,
now you have less to put
into the competition.
And we as a fan get cheated
and you lose the momentum
you're trying to get with that.
Yeah, it's a butterfly effect.
or dominoes, whatever you want to call it,
right?
Now this person's being
affected and what are these
less people and not to take
anything away from the
people that's going to move
up because these other
people got knocked down
because they are fit, but God love them.
You don't necessarily know
who these people are.
Right.
It's a bigger deal if it's a
McQuaid than if it is, you know,
somebody that's, you know,
basically almost regional
level competitor type deal
that nobody necessarily knows.
When proven in these
workouts that you're fitter
and the only reason you're
being dinged is because you
didn't show weighing a dumbbell.
Like it's not your fitness
that lost you that spot.
It was just an oversight on oversight.
Yeah.
It's happened to a million
people at rogue.
Like this is the first and
last time this happens.
I'm I'm my, uh,
when I qualified for MFC two years ago,
um,
I was basically going to be backfill
into the RX division.
And I got an email because I
did not measure my wall
ball target on video.
Um,
and they sent me the email at like
three o'clock in the afternoon,
something like that,
or that work when I got it saying, Hey,
blah, blah, blah, blah.
Uh,
You know, we'd like to invite you,
but you didn't measure your
wall ball target.
Can you go do that?
Like,
take a video and send that to us
right now.
And I emailed him back and I was like,
I'm at work right now,
but I can do it when I get
off in a little bit.
If that's like, you know,
I don't know how time sensitive this is.
And they were like, no, that's fine.
What time do you get?
I said five o'clock.
So I got to the gym.
And me and my buddy Jeff
went in between classes and
measured the wall ball target on video,
sent it to them.
And within five minutes, they were like,
cool, here's your invite.
So, Dan, I'm not disputing this at all.
Rogue didn't make an
announcement when they required weighing.
I hate to seem so blunt,
but it's up to the athlete
to look through.
Again, I'm not – it was in the rules.
The rules were broken.
They made their decision.
I get it.
What I'm saying is as a new
entity into the space,
you want to put together
the best competition you can,
and so it just would have been –
I think in your best
interest as the WFP to let
the challengers know, hey,
we're changing the format.
Everything you need for the
video submission is in this section.
Everything for the workout here,
it's a little bit different
than you're used to.
Make sure you read everything.
Yeah.
And they don't have to.
Again, it's their world.
I just think that you want
the best people you can get
there to compete to attract more fans.
You're in the infancy stages of this thing,
and you want the best
people you can get there, get there.
Yeah, especially right now.
It's their first year.
It's their first time.
Their first event hadn't
even happened yet.
david johnson it's a
double-edged sword we want
more measurement measures
to prevent cheating but
unfortunately it makes
videoing a qualifier a
logistic nightmare
completely agree hey we
don't want someone in there
doing hollow dumbbells
right like I get it and and
again I'm not making
excuses for jamie she just
and I'm just privy to that
information because she's
my friend and she sent me the email
And to be fair,
Jamie probably feels the same way.
Like, I didn't do it.
And at the end of the day,
Jamie did this for funsies
and just happened to qualify.
Correct.
Right?
She thought it was a good
way to get a good workout
in for the weekend.
So she's kind of torn, like,
should I be upset about it?
Because I did qualify.
Now I'm not going to be able to go.
Or I really just did it for
funsies anyway.
Yeah.
And so...
Yeah.
Again, nobody's in the wrong.
I just think that it could
have been done in a way to
help you promote the sport better.
And hell,
if I'm the marketing person and
I'm advertising that we're
going to be super strict on
our video standards, including X, Y,
and Z,
that's a point I would put out to
the public to let them know
we're not going to tolerate cheating.
I want to let everybody know,
like flat out as much as
humanly possible screaming
from the rooftops.
Look, bro,
we are putting all of this stuff
in place to make sure that
we are covering every base we can.
I want you to weigh your dumbbell.
I don't care if it says
fifty on the outside of it
and it says rogue on the next panel.
Weigh it.
Put it on the scale.
Show me, video, blah, blah, blah,
the whole thing.
In the interest of transparency,
I think that would have been
know a fantastic idea hey
read the rules make sure
you read the rules I'm
gonna say it again read the
rules because they're there
yeah and they're not what
you're they're not
necessarily what you're
used to they're close
they're not necessarily
what you're used to yeah
and my final props are that
they have been doing things
by like the emma mcquade
not withdrawing was done by
press release emails to all
the media members
What a nice change of pace
to be able to get news from
the source on a press
release instead of having
to dig through Instagram.
Did Dave post it?
Did CrossFit Games post it?
Did Don Paul post it?
Did Brian Spann post it?
Yeah.
Right.
Or did the athlete themselves post it?
If they did, when?
One email from the source and you know,
okay, she's out.
Yeah.
That's a lot cleaner.
Yeah, so I love that change.
So speaking of online qualifiers,
tomorrow starts the
um so jody's asking what
happened to emma emma had
wrist surgery back in
december she thought it
would be um better by now
uh but she is still only
lifting empty empty
barbells at this point and
she is doing no kipping
because her wrists still
can't handle it and she's
hoping to be available by
tour stop two uh in august
those wrist surgeries are nasty.
So semis this weekend,
Thursday through Sunday,
you got your workouts.
What is,
you saw them and not from like a
programming standpoint,
but from a Corey standpoint.
Oh, from a Corey standpoint, I'm pumped.
The only one, the only one I am not,
I don't say not looking forward to,
but the only one that's
probably going to be fairly
miserable is the row
shoulder to overhead.
And simply because seventy
five calories for my five
foot six self is just.
It's just long, dude.
It's sitting on a roller for
probably close to four
minutes before I get up, grab the barbell,
do my thing with the barbell,
and then get back on the
roller for another three and a half,
four minutes, whatever the case may be.
Like, seventy-five calories,
it just takes me a long time.
I am not mechanically built to row,
so I got to be as efficient
as I can to be able to pull
and get myself somewhere in
decent time to where I can get up,
not be completely wasted,
grab the barbell,
because the barbell I'm fine with.
The three weights is not a big deal.
The reps are fine.
Now, I will say this.
I was talking to a couple
people about this.
That two-twenty-five bar is
probably going to feel like
a two-seventy-five bar by
the time I get to it,
just from all the rowing
and the previous barbells.
But the other four, which
We got five.
Last year we had four.
I wasn't expecting that.
That's kind of cool.
But that's the only one I'm
not overly thrilled about.
We're going to just kind of
hold on and do as much as I
can as far as that one's concerned.
I tested,
and by tested I mean I very
lightly tested two of them yesterday.
The
clean bar muscle up in the morning.
I just did the first five
rounds just to kind of get
an idea of how that was
going to be paced.
And then Heavy Isabel,
my weightlifting coach right there,
Dan Church,
he was pumped up for me
yesterday because I was not
aware of the fact that I
could actually cycle a
hundred and eighty five
pound power snatches until
yesterday because I've never had to.
Right?
I've been working.
I can't tell you how many
times me and Dan's going
back and forth trying to
correct my form via videos and whatnot.
That dude is a saint for
putting up with my stubborn ass.
But yeah, I did half of it yesterday.
Actually, one more than half.
Two misses,
one of them that I threw over
my head because I had Dan
in my head telling me to
push off with my legs
instead of pull with my arms, basically.
And then the other one,
I just rushed it a little bit.
So two misses.
Ended up doing sixteen
instead of fifteen because I can't count,
apparently, which is fine.
But I'm going to finish it.
Like,
there's no doubt in my mind I'm going
to finish it,
which is kind of a big deal.
Because if you'd have asked
me last year if I could
have done heavy Isabel at .
I'd have told you there's no possible way.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So I'm pretty excited about that.
Interesting that there's no like maxes,
right?
Like the, the heavy is your,
your weightlifting event.
That is your, that is, that,
that is basically the strength component,
which is fine, dude.
Like, and everybody talks about everybody.
I kind of agree.
If it was a one rep,
some people are gonna like
the leaderboards gonna end
up getting skewed even with
even with five right you're
gonna get people who are
super strong and can't move
that are gonna just like
smash that part of it
whatever uh so I think this
is a better test as far as
that is concerned um
because it's strength and
capacity all at the same
time um I I'm I'm excited I
can't wait I want to see
Well,
I'll probably be tuned into the show
Sunday night whenever y'all
are waiting for the
leaderboard to go live just
to see where I'm at.
Yeah, Dan is one hundred percent correct.
You got to be strong to be fast.
One reps are party tricks.
And now we're waiting for
Larry Young to respond.
Love me some Larry Young.
Love me some Larry Young.
I would agree.
And
I was pumped yesterday because I know,
so let's, let's look at the cleans,
right?
I can move weight close to my one rep max.
I can move eighty percent, seventy five,
eighty percent cleans well,
as far as like cycling is concerned.
I just haven't had to do it
a whole lot with heavy
weights like that for snatching.
So yesterday I was super pumped to do,
you know,
a little bit of testing that I
did and end up where I was.
where I was well within time
that I was going to be able
to be finished.
So I'm kind of excited about that one.
Uh,
David Johnson said the open really
tested engine and not strength.
So quite a bit of athletes
moved on who won't be able
to move these weights very well.
I was talking to a fellow, forty-five,
forty-nine about that Monday.
Some of these cardio bunnies that, that,
you know, slipped in high up on the
on the leaderboard, like that one, eight,
five snatch is going to smack.
It's going, it's called murder.
I mean, it really, really will.
Uh, so we'll see.
I know I can move it.
That's all I'm,
that's all I'm concerned about.
Uh,
Dave on his weekend review said max was
the only thing that
CrossFitters can't compete
with the regular world and
it would skew the leaderboard.
There you go, Scott.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I mean, if I could, if I got in, so,
forty-five, forty-nine,
I think the cutoff was two
hundred and sixty-four people, right?
If I got into,
if I qualified for semis in
two hundred and fifty a spot,
but I got a two hundred and
seventy-five pound snatch,
and that age group,
I'm winning that event.
Hands down.
Hands down.
Like, nobody else would even come close.
So, like, that's one point for Corey.
And if I am half as good at the rest of it,
like I can end up at a really high level.
And just because I am super
strong and can do like Dan said,
I can do that one party trick.
I can lift something one time really,
really heavy.
David Johnson says,
I'll be curious to see if
signups are low this year
because of my previous statement.
That's another thing we were
talking about too is how many people
From the logistics standpoint, right,
needing the two judges,
having to be at an
affiliate in good standing,
had to put everything on video,
which we had to do that before.
But from that point and then
looking at this stuff and going,
like Lana just said,
like she can't do the snatch weight.
How many people are looking at that?
And I know a couple of them
that are looking at it and are thinking,
I might be able to get one, maybe two.
Or how well they're going to
move that hundred eighty
five pound clean for the
clean bar muscle up or the
shoulder to overhead once
it gets heavy at the two
twenty five point.
What you said reminded me of
a meme I saw today.
And she is an age group athlete,
Tia Vesser.
She won the games in twenty
two in the fifty to fifty
four year old division, I believe.
She's always at MFC,
and she's one of my
favorite athletes out there.
So getting ready for the age group semis.
I don't know if you guys can see this.
My footage of all the ducks
I need to get in a row.
Yeah.
And there it is.
That is accurate.
And it says below, I'll pause it,
find judges, make sure they're qualified,
work schedules, coordinate athletes,
coordinate work times,
don't interfere with classes,
how to order the events,
checklist of everything HQ
needed in your intro,
hope YouTube accepts your videos,
and then actually do the workout.
Yeah.
All that stuff before you go
do the workout.
That's a lot, dude.
That's a lot of ducks.
I still don't, I know,
like Benoit asked me yesterday, you know,
when are we doing these?
I have a daddy-daughter
dance to attend Friday night.
So Friday night's out of the question.
I might be able to slide out
of here early Friday and go
do one Friday afternoon,
but I don't really, like,
I don't know if I'm,
I have both my judges
available at that time
because they both work.
I have a job as it turns out.
Like I was watching, uh, Oh, good Lord.
Uh,
CJ and them on the podcast yesterday or
day before yesterday.
And they were talking about
like the order and blah, blah, blah,
whatever.
And this is how we do it.
And I was like, that all sounds great.
I have a job and kids and
like other responsibilities
to take care of.
Yes, I am doing these.
You know, and then they, oh, do, you know,
one at this time on
Thursday and then another
one in the next one,
two hours later on Thursday
and then do two a month.
And that way you can leave yourself,
you know,
time to redo them if you need to
on Sunday.
And I'm like,
I don't have time for all that.
No, I'm not going to say it's singles,
steady singles.
so answering Aaron Corey
you're doing you're going
to cycle one eighty five
not just two singles you're
saying fast singles fast
singles fast singles
probably one every fifteen
seconds or so if I can help
it what's what's funny is I
don't think it would skew
it as much as they think I
think the last bar should
knock out the same
percentage as muscle ups do
I'm not telling Larry he's wrong,
but he's wrong.
If it was ring muscle-ups, absolutely.
One hundred percent.
But the bar muscle-ups, dude,
I've competed against a
bunch of these dudes.
Everybody can do them.
Everybody can do them tired.
The weight at this point,
especially going overhead
like that with a snatch,
is going to be a huge separate.
That's going to be a big deal.
Take some PTO.
I actually have a shit ton of it,
but I also have vacations
and competitions and whatnot,
all kinds of stuff my
entire year is planned out.
And your true goal is to
make the games when you hit fifty, right?
Yeah, a hundred percent.
My main goal this year is to
do better than I did last year,
as far as my final
placement is concerned.
That's it.
Nothing beyond that.
Anything beyond that,
Anything beyond me finishing
at a hundred and
fifty-seventh is Lanyard.
Period.
Full stop.
Now, when I go to Kansas for Monster Games,
I'm going there to try to
get on the podium.
Period.
Like, that's all there is to it.
That's why we started swimming.
David Johnson said it should
have been ring muscle-ups,
and I have heard that from
multiple athletes.
It should have been ring muscle-ups.
I will say I would have
liked to have seen ring
muscle-ups because like a
lot of people have said,
and I have agreed with, there is a good,
strong possibility.
The way this is laid out,
the way these tests are,
you could end up with
somebody at the games who
either does not have ring
muscle-ups or only has one or three.
You know what I mean?
Or that can't do multiple
sets of them or they barely
might be able to do hardly any at all.
It's just a weird thing to
not have them in there.
Look at that dude.
Yeah, it just popped up.
I guess Instagram heard me
talking about him.
So they popped this up.
Dan Church doing Metcon Rush.
That is the one competition I really,
really want to go to.
I've heard nothing but good things.
And you don't have to qualify.
You just got to sign up.
But that is one sexy man right there.
That is a good looking human being,
ain't it?
It is intelligent as well.
And super helpful telling
you right now that dude has,
he has been in God's hand.
Uh, Larry, I'm not arguing the workouts.
I'm saying in general,
the weights like in the
open should be picked.
So they weigh the same as
the hard gymnastics.
If that's one thirty five or
three fifteen.
And Dan thanks us.
Yeah.
Um, so yeah, so you got, you're,
you're starting out tomorrow.
You're going to get it through.
And then as we said, as I said yesterday,
we are going to try to time
our Sunday night show that
we are still live when the
leaderboard is final and we can see it.
And then we'll know live on the air.
Did Corey make it?
Did Carolyn make it?
Did Jamie make it?
you'll get to see the live
reactions from at least two
of those people I'm excited
dude I'm excited to do them
um I don't want to say all
of them in my wheelhouse
because that road one is
definitely not and I don't
try to have an actual
wheelhouse but like in the
arbitrary burpee over the
dumbbell, whatever.
Because it wasn't a
nightmare judging in the open enough.
Go ahead and just keep on
keeping on with that.
The handstand walk doesn't mean anything.
It's fifteen feet down and
fifteen feet back.
You can't walk fifteen feet
unbroken on your hands.
You should not be in semifinals anyway.
That one's going to be a
case of keep moving.
Figure out a way to keep moving.
Whatever you got to do.
I feel like that one's
almost more of a burpee
test than it is anything else.
Burpee and total bar because
that last set of thirty
total bar is going to be for real.
Like for real, for real.
That's going to be a judging
test because did you go
over the dumbbell?
Did you go behind the dumbbell?
Did you go around the dumbbell?
Luckily, we already had lots of practice.
You and I talked about this,
I think yesterday, right?
Like why did they pick the
dumbbell as that apparatus
for that when it's not even
used anywhere else in the workout?
You could have used any
other object to jump over.
If you want to make it
something to jump over, okay,
make it a barbell.
Did you clear the barbell?
Good.
You didn't?
Okay.
Try again.
Like it's easy as opposed to, oh,
I think he's getting over that dumbbell.
Oh, I'm not real sure.
Angle's kind of weird.
Thanks, Larry.
It just doesn't.
It's like they copied and pasted.
Well, we already had this printed out.
Let's go ahead and copy it,
paste it right over here
and just make it.
these burpees over the
dumbbell for some unknown reason.
I don't get it.
I really, really don't.
And in the, I mean, the sprint,
because that's what it's going to be,
the lunge, snatch, box jump over.
I would have preferred it
than burpee box jump overs.
I think that might have gave
us a little bit more of a separation.
But Emma, that's my girl.
Emma is the official Emma
Imamco photographer, videographer,
all the things,
all them badass reels
you've been seeing on Imamco's page.
Emma has been making all of them.
She is, she's a badass.
She's awesome.
I wonder if we can lay two
dumbbells end to end to
make sure we get both.
That,
that makes more sense to me than just
doing it over a dumbbell
since you're not using it anyway.
Yeah.
You're not using it for
anything else during that workout.
I mean, it sounds dumb,
but it actually makes more
sense than just... No, he's right.
He's right.
It's an arbitrary dumbbell.
It's, oh,
they got to do a burpee over something.
Should we put a tape line
down and make them burpee over that?
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
You could actually see a
tape line pretty good.
Let's use a dumbbell again.
Why not use a clip?
MSN, she loves you, buddy.
she's an awesome dude.
She really, really is.
Um, she's also, uh,
uplifts main videographer,
photographer and whatnot.
Like, uh, more,
most of the people she's
ready to love that organization.
Um,
so last thing before we head out of
here as our lunch hours
coming to an end is
mayhem's this week as well.
Um,
I tried to watch the mayhem
podcast this morning before we went live.
I got forty five minutes in
with a half an hour to go.
They went long for a rich podcast.
Yeah.
And Rich said he loves these
age group workouts because he's left.
He doesn't get involved.
Yeah.
He's what, thirty seven, thirty eight.
Somewhere in there.
Yeah.
Yeah.
He's already done Isabella two twenty five,
like doing it at two fifteen for him.
That's that's less the light day.
They talked a lot about
what's going to go on with
mayhem or with the mayhem
classic this weekend.
They released their second workout,
which is the dumbbell thruster rope climb,
legless rope climb,
which is a cool workout.
That is so that will be event three.
And that is, it's weird.
The rope climbs are five, four, three,
two for men and four, three, two,
one for women.
And then the dumbbell
thrusters are like twenty seven,
twenty one, fifty nine, I think.
So that should be a fun one to watch.
What's the weight on a dumbbell?
Fifty five, forty.
And he said just a little
bit heavier than you're used to.
Just enough to where you
pick him up and you go, oh, okay, okay.
That was his explanation on
this show was we just
wanted to make him just a
little bit heavier than you're used to.
I think that's a good idea
because over time,
like over the length of the workout,
that's going to start to
have some real sub to it.
Cause every time you pick it back up,
like your body's so used to
either the fifty or the
seventy or whatever it is
you use and like, oh,
this is a little heavy.
It's like having people run
a five hundred instead of a four hundred.
Nobody runs,
nobody in CrossFit runs five
hundred meters.
Like nobody,
nobody would even would know how.
Yeah, that's, that's, that's kind of wild.
Yeah, I agree.
I think that it's going to be, yeah,
interesting and fun.
So we now know three events,
which is the feed sack
squats with the run,
the eight hundred ish meter run.
And then I think it's the
burpee box getovers.
And then we have heavy
Isabel and we have the thrusters.
So.
Those are the three workouts that are out.
They're also going to do a
Kill Taylor live from the Mayhem Classic.
That's going to be.
And there was a thought that
this one might be another
partner workout version
where Rich might get involved.
Taylor would lose his mind.
His head would explode.
That's going to be fun, dude.
Like I'm going to,
I'm going to be watching in between,
get my events done Saturday
as much as I can.
Uh,
but I feel like that's going to be a
good time this weekend.
The mayhem masters athletes
that qualified or actually
all going to do the workouts at mayhem.
Okay.
it's bananas crazy but it's
awesome like that they get
that they get that
opportunity to go do that I
don't know are they going
to do them in the warm-up
area I have no idea I meant
to ask brandon exactly how
that's going to work but
they get that and they get
uh they're going to be
there also watching like
they get tickets to the man plastic so
I know that they've brought
them in every year.
Like last year when I talked
to them all behind the scenes,
that was a big thing.
But ACR says Grant had a
funny short on about not running over .
And it is good.
It's a great short, Kipping It Real.
yeah and he it's a
crossfitter and a high
rocks are running together
and at the four hundred
meter mark the crossfitters
like oh this is the four
hundred meter mark this is
all the further we go yes
now we can keep running and
and then he goes to run
like that next meter and
then falls to the floor
yeah if it's not four
hundred six hundred eight
hundred a thousand or a
mile because that's beyond
that is I'm running a mile
like I wouldn't know what
to do with myself
Chelsea Miller, something would explode.
Chelsea is correct.
Probably my knees.
But I think it's going to be fun.
I can't wait to see the broadcast.
They've been killing it with the media,
promoting it with Rich and
Angelo in the suit coats and the shorts.
Doing with him on the Echo
bike the other day,
I was laughing uncontrollably.
yeah it's all it's all good
stuff man mayhem always
puts on a good show um I
don't know if scott's in
charge like banner student
is in charge of their
entire media team but if
that's the or who's
actually running it but
they are doing like they're
not gonna depart every time um so
The broadcasting with Angelo
and Rich in the suit coats
was Rich's idea that Vander
Sloot brought to life.
Nice.
They talk about it in the show today.
I usually watch that one in
the afternoon when nothing else is on.
I try to catch the live
shows if they're going on.
I've had a busy week,
so I've not been up to date
on everything this week.
Apparently, there's a new announcement.
Dallin Pepper is a new rogue athlete.
And if you didn't see that one coming,
I believe he was here for the Arnold.
And that's usually when it all begins.
If I had to guess,
they brought him down or up,
whatever you want to look at it,
brought him over there.
Hey, come on to the Arnold.
Let's talk.
Dear Bill and Katie,
we would like Dallin Pepper
to be a road athlete.
good for him dude he's a
good dude man like yeah
promotes the the actual uh
affiliates and the the
jesus christ my brain's not
working well it's crossfit
in general not just the
competition side of the
methodology well and what
they're doing with uh
boys interrupted or whatever
like he's he's gonna be big
right in this space and
he's still what he's not
old that's for sure um yeah
so here it is welcome dylan
pepper to rogue athlete
team thank you t-bird for the heads up
Cool.
He definitely deserves it for sure.
Dan says, enjoy your day, fellas.
Crush it.
Corey, keep me posted.
I will.
And then T-Bird asked, Jason, next?
I don't know.
They don't have a big stable
at any one time.
No.
And they don't sign just anybody.
Not to say that Jason's not
a big deal in our space,
but they don't just...
Not everybody gets a Rogue shirt.
Right.
By any stretch of the imagination.
I would say,
to T-Bird's point about him being next,
is that he does have a big personality,
and that seems to be a thing with Rogue.
They don't want people that,
not that you've never heard of,
but that kind of fly under the radar.
That's not a thing at Rogue.
They want somebody who's actually visible,
going to...
wouldn't say make noise but
yeah I would one hundred
percent agree with that uh
jason would fit rogue more
than james I think I don't
know just I don't know just
don't person that just on
on and not dude I love
james I've been saying it
for a year and a half now
you love james brigg or
you're wrong because like
he's big giant puppy dog
slash teddy bear or whatnot but
Jason is more brash is more,
more of a shit talker, more of a,
you know what I mean?
Like for, to me, he fit,
he would fit in more as far
as being a rogue athlete
than James would at this point.
Yeah, I don't, I don't, I don't,
I think they have a,
a variety of characters
that they bring on.
It's not any one.
Like Lauren Fisher was one
of their early athletes.
She was never a shit talker
or she was quiet and shy.
And then you have Sam Briggs
and Annie Thorstotter who
were more vocal.
I'm just thinking early days.
Yeah.
Sam Briggs was one of my favorites, dude.
I love Sam Briggs.
Yeah.
I still have that memory of
her yelling at me in the
middle of the open.
That is fantastic.
And then her passing Brent
Fikowski for no good reason
on that run they did at the ranch,
just coming around him.
Just because, because I'm faster than you.
And like,
there's no reason she's way out in front.
Nobody else is even close,
but except that dude, well, I'm going,
I'm going to go ahead and pass him up.
Cause it's a race and she
was racing everybody.
Yeah.
Well, my lunch hour's over.
Yes.
