We cover the sport of CrossFit from all angles. We talk with athletes, coaches and celebrities that compete and surround in the sport of CrossFit at all levels. 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.
It is Monday,
and I usually say we are back and
better than ever.
But I am flat out exhausted.
But we're going to do it anyway.
From the gym to the screen, yeah,
we cover it all.
Midday motivation every time you press
call.
Lunch with the Plies,
they'll 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.
What's going on, everyone?
Hey, y'all.
I don't even know how that's going to
come out until it starts rolling off the
tongue.
That's what makes it great.
I don't know which version I'm going to
do.
It's whatever mood strikes me.
That is what makes it great.
That is what makes it great.
Is Meg calling us ladies,
or is she saying I'm the ladies in
the chat?
You think I'm in any way, shape,
or fashion concerned about what Meg is
calling me at that point?
When it comes to Meg,
I'm very much sticks and stones may break
my bones type deal.
Ladies may actually be one of the higher
compliments.
That's probably an upgrade.
Yes, that is probably an upgrade.
oh i believe that i believe that
wholeheartedly um well what up how was it
well i will say that we're gonna do
a full like wrap up wrap up yeah
tomorrow night with carolyn on everything
um i had a blast dude i awesome
it is
I mean,
I don't want to do the comparison thing,
but of a lot of the events that
I have attended over the last several
years,
I really enjoyed myself at this one.
I think kudos to the WFP.
I think they took a lot of constructive
feedback from year one.
have made significant changes from what i
can tell uh to really improve the product
on the floor and dude every event i
felt like was a big deal nice you
know and jamie and i were talking you
know yeah there were twenty events at the
games
And that was supposed to be, like, brutal.
But there were people after the games
going, yeah, it was twenty events,
but I feel pretty good after the games.
Right.
I don't think you're going to have a
single person after WFP this weekend
saying they feel good.
Especially not Pat Belner.
Because it... Every workout was...
well-designed to whoop that ass,
as they'd say on... It was crazy.
But that's what makes it fun for a
spectator.
Like, you know there's traps.
You know there's things.
Or it was something cool and different
that we haven't seen,
like the bench or the combine, right?
It just had a lot of different elements
that...
I feel like everybody's trying to get too
tricky and maybe you just hit it down
the fairway.
Last year,
WFP did every Olympic lift for the year.
This year, they've done
All the powerlifting stuff.
They started with the deadlift.
Now they did the bench press.
I'm assuming we're getting the squat and
Copenhagen.
Would make sense.
Right.
And so when you can see the stuff
and a lot of those things you can
compare to yourself,
it's real easy to then look and go,
well,
this is my one rep or this is,
and then the combine stuff.
you can compare to other nfl athletes and
see like how did these guys do against
the nfl and when hannah when um amy
kringle beats like a list of nfl people
at the combine that's pretty crazy um and
again i think last year i was critical
because i think they were trying to be
crossfit part two
Yeah.
This year,
I feel like they're trying to be WFP.
Which is what they should have been doing
in the first place,
but we already know that.
But at least they learned, right?
At least they learned.
I was going to say,
I'm glad that you noticed that.
I'm sure if it was noticeable to you,
it was noticeable to everybody else that
It's hard for some people to take all
the criticism that got lobbed at them
because it was a whole lot and then
take it and not just go, yeah,
F y'all,
we're going to do whatever we want and
actually listen to it and go, okay, well,
let's make some adjustments here, there,
and yonder and see if we can kind
of fix this and get this right because
we want people to onboard.
We want people to come in.
We want people to compete and come and
spectate and support vendors and do all of
the things.
And if you can take that as constructive
criticism and run with it,
and make it better,
then so much is better, man.
That's awesome.
You know, you've said it a million times.
Jason Ainsley knows how to run a
competition.
The man does.
There are a handful of people in this
fitness world that we live in who know
how to run competitions.
He is one of them.
Yes.
Will Supak is another.
I think Dylan Malitzky is getting to that
point, right?
Yeah.
There's a handful of people that,
you know, when their name is on it,
you can trust that it's going to be
a good product.
Absolutely.
And, um,
and I want to address this too, uh,
cause Shannon has been saying this all
weekend about all the injuries.
There really were only two devastating
injuries out of a hundred athletes.
And in sports that just happens.
You're pushing yourself to the limits.
It's sports.
But honestly,
there was Pat's injury and there was
Quinn's injury and the rest were tweaked
hamstrings.
The rest were like a tweaked calf or
a plantar fasciitis.
No worse than any,
like Rogue had two popped Achilles at
their event and nobody's dogging them.
I think people,
we've got to get past this like living
in the past stuff in this fitness world.
Like WFP has improved tremendously.
We should be given credit for that and
not dog for every little thing that goes
wrong.
And the same can be, if,
if CrossFit fully changes over to
something new, they should be forgiven.
And we move forward with the thing that's
working.
That's what I was going to say as
well.
It's not just for them.
That's for the majority of the stuff that
we do.
Pick a comp.
It doesn't really matter.
Yes, people are going to get hurt.
It's going to happen.
It's not inherently unsafe to do a bench
press.
It's just not.
No.
It's not inherently unsafe to sprint.
My buddy tore a pec doing a bench
press in a Globo gym.
Oh, yeah.
One of my dudes at my gym tore
his pec last year doing the same thing.
At our gym.
Like, it happens.
So, like,
I think that people are just looking for
that negativity to, like,
to go after them.
And I don't think it's there.
Yes,
there was tweaked hamstrings in a
four-yard dash.
Go to the NFL Combine.
You're going to see tweaked hamstrings.
Right?
Will did the best he could.
He gave ten weeks notice before that.
Yeah.
So that people could prepare for that
event.
And honestly,
it would have been different if they had
showed up on, you know,
whatever day they all showed up on for
check in.
And then they were like, oh, yeah,
by the way,
we're going to run a forty hour dash
Friday morning.
That's one thing.
But like you said,
you had plenty of advanced warning time.
Hey, bro, get ready.
You're going to have to do this.
You have to do a forty hour dash.
You're going to have to do a five,
ten, five sprint.
be prepared for it so that you can
minimize the fact that it might happen.
It happens to experienced sprinters on a
regular basis.
People that don't do the stuff that we
do, which is constantly varied and,
you know,
doing this now and this later and whatnot,
it happens to actual track athletes and,
So, Shanna,
this was not an attack on you.
It was a narrative I heard a lot
online and in shows.
You're just the trigger that set it off
today.
Yeah, you just happened to mention it,
Shanna.
Sorry.
And she's asking if they keep track
because Legends doesn't, CrossFit doesn't.
And I do think it is something that
they should.
But to your point,
even people that do this stuff every day,
like the NFL is full of explosive athletes
that run.
Forty yards at a time.
Look at their injury reports and they do
it every single day.
Yeah.
And there are people with tweaked
hamstrings up and down the injury list.
Absolutely.
And they don't stop doing it.
I mean, you know, it's like, oh, well.
Tweak my hamstring.
I can't run for the rest of my
life ever.
I don't know.
I didn't get to watch Saturday.
I had two children's birthday parties to
attend.
I was hemmed up all day.
And yesterday I was yard work and all
the other stuff, church.
So all I got to see was Friday.
But the stuff I saw Friday, I mean,
it looked well run,
looked well put together.
I mean,
aside from the pig falling on Pat's foot,
which...
What only fell on his foot because his
Achilles had popped right before that.
Right.
And poor cat freaking out on camera.
Well, and this is the good thing.
Medical was there within five seconds.
Yeah.
And slab lifted up the...
the um the sled and got it off
of him in seven seconds like you don't
see that response at every event no so
good on them yeah um i want to
address this with john george i think this
is the problem that that people need
taught about the wfp it's different than
other crossfit competitions
It is not about the weekend.
It's about the season.
So when you look at events singularly at
an event like WFP,
it may not make sense because it's one
of twenty five events for the season.
Because your goal is to win the overall
season and finish top twenty to get
guaranteed money next year.
Yep.
And if I have one criticism,
and I know PC's in the comments about
this,
I think that their marketing focus should
be on the season, not on the weekend.
Yeah.
To avoid the confusion.
Yeah.
Because when you come in,
and I'll admit I kind of understood it,
but when I watched it this week live,
it totally sunk into me.
That you are there to get as many
points in each event as you can so
that it adds up for your grand total
at the end.
Yeah.
Not that it doesn't matter what you do
on the weekend,
but you're not necessarily there to win
the weekend.
You're there to try to win the entire
season.
Right.
Yeah.
Right.
And that became very evident to me.
It's like the PGA Tour.
You don't have to go to every PGA
Tour event during the season as a pro
golfer.
You pick your spots,
and then the season total at the end
gets you to the PGA Championship.
Yeah,
trying to maximize your points the best
you can.
And so...
As I was trying to explain that to
people,
then I would see them talking about who
was winning the weekend,
and then it just muddies the waters a
little bit.
I still had an awesome time.
I still thought it was a great event.
But once my mind clicked into that,
it made it even more.
So, like,
you see Quinn Robinson go out to the
floor and not do anything.
In slides.
Right.
And he gets four points for that event
because three people withdrew and he
showed up.
Because those three points make if he can
recover in time and he goes to Copenhagen,
then that actually means something.
Right.
And I've seen comments about what about
minimum work requirements?
It's not needed in this event because
there's twenty five events.
Right.
Right.
It's not a winner take all over the
over the one weekend.
Right.
You're building points over the thing.
And I think, like you said,
if we're picking out something to
criticize, making that more clear that,
yes, this is happening this weekend.
Yes,
somebody is going to be the winner of
this particular competition this weekend.
Ultimately, Copenhagen is what matters.
Getting there and getting all your points
accumulated and all that good stuff.
just like scotty scheffler won the pga
event this weekend and he got prizes for
that that's all well and good but he's
really trying to win the overall
championship at the end of the pga season
right right um and and you know we
talked about like not forgetting the past
I'm really going off on John George today.
Guy is a prime example of that.
The guy asked for a bike three years
ago,
and we have not let him live it
down since.
The guy is a multiple-time top-ten games
finisher.
He is phenomenal at the WFP.
And, dude,
watching that guy broad jump look like
Superman was unreal.
Like, gave me goosebumps.
Scott texted me right after he jumped and
said, he just jumped out of the building,
FYI.
You just don't see that kind of
athleticism every day.
It's like his jump.
I don't know the feet or whatever,
but there were hash marks on the line.
Like Carolyn was the only female to get
over the fourth hash mark,
which was really impressive.
There was a fifth hash mark,
and Guy was the only human being to
get over the fifth hash mark.
Jesus Christ, ten feet.
wow it was i mean and i'm i
was super impressed with carolyn too like
for for a woman and she's not the
tallest person in the in the world and
to get over that fourth hash mark was
unbelievable here's what i love about
carolyn privo
she has been screaming to the rooftops for
years that she wanted to do this thing.
Right.
Like she, I'll be a sprint cut.
You know, she's been saying, and saying,
and saying, and saying it.
And then she came out and showed everybody
why she's been saying she wanted to do
it.
Yeah.
She was like, no, no, no.
This is why ready.
Because I'm about to smash everybody.
Like that was,
that was outstanding to watch.
Larry thinks it was ten-three.
Oh, darn.
Only ten-three.
And then watching Kringle do the forty.
A woman going sub-five in the forty.
They were talking before that that was
impossible.
The people I was around were saying,
a woman cannot go sub-five.
Until one did.
And then you're just like,
I mean, it's true.
So, wrong.
He especially doesn't represent CrossFit.
Carolyn works her ass off to maximize her
results.
Results, a hundred percent.
He dies.
Just doesn't.
Just doesn't.
He's just blessed, but lazy.
How you cannot call a man lazy that
his gymnastics work is impeccable.
The guy just doesn't have an engine.
He has all the talent and he works
at everything he does.
He just dies because he doesn't have an
engine.
And maybe he's just blessed with so much
quick burst muscle.
He's one giant fast twitch muscle.
Right.
And that's just the way it is.
He could run every day for the next
six months and not get enough better at
those events to matter.
And Carolyn even says that with swimming.
Why does she work on swimming so she
can go up two places in swimming and
get four points instead of one point?
I know how she feels.
I know how she feels.
Every time I have to,
I know I have to swim at a
comp.
I'm like, okay,
let's go get back in the water.
I get back in the water.
And like, I, the results are the same,
whether I swim or whether I don't swim.
It really doesn't.
It doesn't seem to make that much of
a difference.
It's just I get comfortable back being in
the water is pretty much all I'm going
to the pool for.
I understand that.
Amanda says,
one female on the team is even faster
than Crinkle.
Yeah, she ran a four-seven.
Jesus.
Like high four-seven, four-seven-eight,
something like that.
It is absolutely insane.
Insane.
Yeah,
and that is what the combine does because
these are things that you can compare and
understand the athleticism.
Well,
some of you can wrap your head around.
I cannot wrap my head around a
two-and-eighty-five-pound snatch.
I just can't.
I know it'd be heavy.
I got that part down,
but I am never going to snatch three,
three-fifteen,
something along those lines.
It's just not going to happen.
I know how fast four-point-seven seconds
is.
Yeah.
I know how hard that is to do.
I ran a five,
three at fricking whenever we did for
monster games.
And I'm thinking myself as being fairly
quick and turns out I'm not.
How about that?
Even Quinn going four, four is,
is inconceivable.
Let me tell you something.
Quinn Robinson is right up there with
James, as far as I'm concerned,
as in you either love Quinn Robinson or
you are wrong because the videos of him
coming back is like,
I had absolutely no idea I could do
that.
He said,
I didn't even know how much that was
going to be a thing.
Okay.
Yeah.
Apparently I'm pretty fast.
How about that?
Yes, Mark Phillips.
Does Quinn Robinson have any eligibility
left?
Well, all that's debatable right now.
I think we're getting a court ruling on
Thursday.
We could probably get Quinn on a team
somewhere.
Well,
Quinn's never declared for the draft,
as far as I can tell,
so he should be good to go.
He's got eligibility left.
We can get him on the field.
The best thing about college sports right
now is that Judge Wapner has more
authority than anybody else.
Judge Judy.
Judge Joe Brown.
Pick a judge.
It doesn't really matter which one it is.
Oh, you went all the way back.
Judge Wapner.
The people's court.
Yes, I still remember the theme music.
And then you see Lane Kiffin open up
the doors to the back of the people's
court as he strolls in.
Here's Lane Kiffin.
A four seven forty yard dash is max
speed of twenty miles an hour.
It's just the
It's something to wrap your head around.
It really, really is.
Here's what I want to say.
Okay.
Yeah.
They didn't judge the start.
The laser started a yard after the start.
I don't give two shits.
No.
That's fast.
It's still fast, dude.
I love people talking about that.
One yard.
Yeah.
It's not exactly right.
No, it's not exactly right.
It's still unbelievably fast.
You can add, like,
I think it's three-tenths of a second to
it and make it comparable to what the
NFL guys are running.
I think they went a second,
or a .
one-five, .
five.
I don't know.
There is a conversion for it.
It's not much.
It's still stupid fast.
Well, it's not exactly the same.
No,
it's not going to be exactly the same.
OK,
those guys are also also most of the
NFL guys that are in the doing the
combine like twenty two,
twenty three years old.
We have some of that going on,
but we have the whole range.
For Christ's sake,
Patty V is a thousand years old.
He looked good in the combine, man.
Yeah, he did.
Yeah, he did.
Say what you want.
My man learned how to run like he
got tired of getting beat on him sprints.
She's graphics thinks it's a point.
Oh five is the, which is even,
which is even less of a thing to
even bring it up.
I didn't, I did not.
Yes.
Quinn is like forty five.
I think I went to high school with
Quinn.
Hey,
Quinn was a freshman right when I
graduated.
What?
Okay.
So Larry's making a great point here.
Like the different tests for the athletes
this weekend.
You had the bench.
You had the combine.
You had the ten K.
We went all over the spectrum.
Then you have that last event with the
muscle-ups into the handstand walk into a
heavy snatch that knocked people out.
Let me see if I can fry my
lats completely.
Because that's what that's going to do in
case y'all were wondering about it.
You're going to do a bunch of muscle-ups,
and you're going to get upside down.
All of that's lat core slash engagement.
And then, oh,
let's go ahead and try to snatch at
that point.
Good luck.
Yep.
And a lot of people failed.
Yeah.
I believe it.
That snatch was out there taking lives.
It was.
It was crazy.
God bless Patty V.
He gave us so much entertainment over the
course of all the years.
It sucks,
but it's almost fitting that he got taken
out by something in his very last event,
in his last thing,
because that seems to have been a theme
going all the way back.
This tells you who Pat Vellner is, right?
He shows up on Sunday.
And does the broadcast and walks in for
the first time ever and is as good
as anybody.
He had a story for every person they
talked about.
Well, yeah,
he's been knowing them all for forty years
now.
Yeah,
but he even knew the new guys like
he knew that and he had a story
about them like that shows you how
connected that dude was.
to the the whole community i think the
only person patty v net didn't get along
with back there was uh what's his name
crossfit cowboy guy you no not me sean
uh sean sean sweeney sweeney yeah that's
about the only person he ever because he
threatened sean he's gonna beat the out of
him captain in the locker room i like
that i think that's that's the perfect
I like that a lot.
Yeah.
Um, Barry says,
I wish he had a larger tribute.
I'll tell you what the speech he made.
Um,
I'm about to go check that out after
the bench press.
Cause they, they did leave,
let him come back out and do the
bench press.
So we didn't finish with a fail.
Right.
And, uh,
and then they talked to him after, dude,
I don't think there was a dry eye
in that venue.
Oh, Paul, Paul, Pat.
Um, like John George said,
it's almost a perfect ending.
Of course he went out getting smashed by
the flips.
Of course he did.
I mean, he fell off the rings, what,
three times at the games.
And then he comes over here and like,
you know,
his Achilles pops and he drops the
frigging flip flat on himself.
Of course he did.
Why wouldn't he?
When he was doing the commentating,
he was telling a story about people coming
up to him and asking how to come
back from a rough start.
He goes,
I don't know why they'd ask me.
I've never had a real rough start.
I don't understand.
That's kind of crazy.
I just thought that was normal.
Yeah.
Everybody didn't do that?
Was that just me?
Man.
I'm finding out all kinds of new things
I didn't know.
uh the fact he benched three something
with no leg drive is wild like one
heel leg drive if if that oh look
we we bench a lot at the gym
and every time i coach it that's one
of my my points of performance make get
your feet flat on the floor understanding
what you think you're doing which you need
to be connected all the way through so
you can drive with legs and arms and
core all that good stuff
uh i loved that pat commentated after yeah
lex it was so good it was so
good and him and catcher and i thought
had a good like repertoire back and forth
um john george every young guy talks about
pat in a very positive way he's liked
by everyone i'm glad he came back this
year good for him yeah um
Yeah, so again,
we're going to do a full recap with
Carolyn tomorrow night since she
participated in all this.
Sure did.
And I got to talk to her after
her final event.
We had a nice conversation.
She really had fun.
I'll tell some of the funny things we
talked about tomorrow night with her.
Make sure you check that out.
I'm guessing it'll be eight p.m.
Eastern time tomorrow night.
I'm assuming maybe, kind of, sort of.
I thought nothing was scheduled yet.
I know Carolyn starts back to school on
Wednesday.
Just go out there, crush the Combine.
Kick ass at the WFP and then, oh,
yeah,
I got to do a lesson plan for
Wednesday.
Right.
I would teach the future.
I teach these children's.
Ortega says, also,
Prevo is good at throwing a football.
I think it was Jonathan that showed me
video footage of her chucking a forty-yard
pass.
Wouldn't surprise me.
She's an athlete, dude.
She's an absolute athlete.
All the way through.
Skin down and bones.
David Reed, never been a fan of Eleanor.
That's why that's sports.
right we are fans of different people and
that is okay can i say who i'm
a fan of right quick shanna bunce miss
shanna bunce this is from the year she
won fyi she sent this to me as
a
Good luck charm.
All of that good stuff.
Pretty excited about it.
She said she'd like me to see me
wear it on the air,
but I'm not real sure how it's going
to fit.
It's a medium.
I say we go for it.
Tune in Thursday.
I mean, I could put it on.
I just don't know how.
Good news about these.
This is the noble era,
so this should be nice and stretchy.
Give me a second.
FYI.
It came by bicycle.
I know I sent you a picture of
the envelope, but what you can't see,
and I don't know what I did with
it.
I thought I still had it because I
wanted to keep it.
The envelope looks like it's been through
some shit.
It took over a month to get here.
Wherever it was at,
it looks like it's been through war.
It looks like it's been...
Well,
it's been across the country like three
times, I think.
It passed by my house twice.
Once going all the way to Atlanta and
then turned and came all the way back.
And like,
you're not gonna be able to see it
good.
They're like,
this is supposed to be just white.
And it's all,
it looks like it's been a braze right
there.
Where she wrote on it is now faded.
Like where she wrote her stuff.
I just put her address on the screen.
Sorry, Shanna.
Hold on.
She wants me to put it on.
You missed it.
Gory can't hear anything I'm saying right
now.
Oh, gosh.
We just turned into a Hiller podcast.
Oh, man.
Look-y that.
Oh,
Ramirez paying two dollars for me to put
it on.
And now Winter will pay you two dollars
to take it off.
Take it back off, yeah.
Holy smokes.
It's comfy.
Thank you for that much.
But apparently she says she's pretty sure
she wore this one.
Fits like a glove.
It definitely fits like a glove.
Like OJ's glove that he was like, yeah,
I can barely get it on.
Yeah.
Uh, she sent me a note.
We're getting demonetized for nudity.
That'd be the case.
Uh, every show John Young was on,
we get demonetized.
My man has never worn a shirt.
Uh,
Shannon says she believes she wore this
one.
She won the, uh,
the ring muscle up snatch row interval
workout in two thousand and twenty two.
Uh,
Joseph Ramirez is checking out your side
boob.
Oh, look at that.
Oh, yeah.
Fits like a glove.
Absolutely.
This is definitely a woman's shirt because
like the back of it,
I can feel a racer back.
Yeah.
Oh, good night.
It's going right here on the wall,
right up in that area.
But I need to figure out how I'm
going to hang it because I don't want
to poke holes in it like I did
with my old E-Mom company shirt.
Damn, Cory.
Bow chicka wow wow.
Yes,
Lito said Hilo would have made exactly
zero dollars if that was the case.
That's a fact.
That's a fact, my man.
I think the video he just put out,
he ain't got a shirt on in it
the entire time.
Is it washed?
Hopefully not,
because he needs the Shanna superpowers to
sink into the skin.
I need as much, like Amanda said,
there's some material in the back there.
oh it was probably washed before she sent
it but wherever this thing has been it
has seen some stuff i'm just telling you
uh she says yes john george it's been
washed yeah no it smelled it smells
fantastic that was fantastic
She didn't send me the shorts, Mark.
She did not send me the shorts.
Thank God.
I'm not working out in this.
Y'all have lost your mind if y'all think
I'm working out in this.
I don't work out in a shirt most
of the time anyway,
much less I'm not going to wear this.
This is like a collector's item.
I can't even look at you right now.
Oh.
Yeah, again, look, it's good to...
I tell you what,
I know we've said it on here before.
Right?
I know we said on here before that
like noble makes I should have says I'll
send you the shorts if you model them.
By the time you send the shorts,
it'll probably February at this point.
Which a y'all it has absolutely nothing to
do with Shannon.
like she did her boring wayne could not
have said something more true looks like
every gym bro in the i don't know
how they wear these things oh my lord
gonna go do my buys and tries absolutely
get on some of this going on this
morning
oh the back dude it i am so
not used to that like i do i
got a couple tank tops that i'll wear
basically to the gym but this is not
that it's like i can feel it oh
uh you don't have winter corey shorts in
february is fine
February is about the only month it
actually, like January,
February is about the only month it
actually gets cold around here for a
couple of days.
She's not wrong.
Is it not the noble shorts that Matt
Fraser said cut the circulation off to
her?
So I know two different guys that have
the Noble game shorts,
one of which still wears his regularly.
And you can see what religion he is
when he's wearing it.
Whenever he's got his own, he's like,
holy smokes.
Extremely tight.
Rich said the same thing because Rich had
some of the Noble shorts and he said
the same thing.
He was like...
got a medium.
He said,
I got there and they weren't medium.
He said, Oh yeah, no, John,
I'm not trying to not run above my
belly button.
Uh, turn around.
Shana says we want the full.
Yeah.
Yeah.
She has some very short booty shorts Noble
gave, never been worn.
Yeah, I'd imagine not.
I'd imagine not.
Their sizing is something else.
This is incredibly soft.
I will say that.
I have or had two other shirts people
brought me from going to the games and
just brought me a shirt back whenever it
was the Noble era.
Their stuff was stupid,
but none of that transferred into their
shoes.
No, no, no.
I actually have a couple of their
long-sleeve shirts to wear under if the
venue's really cold.
And they're so comfortable.
Oh, I'll bet.
I have a couple of tanks that I
really like of theirs.
Yeah, they look like this.
No, nobody wants to see me in that.
I mean, I've been working hard.
I've been working hard.
I'm not to the point of racer back
tank yet.
Y'all, if y'all missed it,
Scott Jamie got on the jumbotron at least
once because I saw y'all the one time
and Scott's been working his ass off.
David Reed wants to know,
why bother wearing a shirt at that point?
I don't, dude.
I got to the gym this morning and
got my stuff set up and shirt came
off immediately as I got started.
That stuff that my coach was trying to
murder me on.
It's fine.
So...
Sure.
Why can't I think of his name?
Ken.
Ken Walters.
Screen grabbed Jamie and I on the
Jumbotron.
And you know when you're on the screen
and you do something and then you don't
realize what you did until someone sends
you a picture of it and you're like,
what the?
Jamie and I were laughing because our
response was,
Yeah, Forrest Gump laugh.
Or Forrest Gump wave.
Lieutenant Dan!
Lieutenant Dan!
Lieutenant Dan!
As if y'all have never been on camera
before.
We were both like, we both,
and we both did the same damn thing.
It was fantastic.
It was fantastic.
I enjoyed it, if nothing else.
Uh...
You and Jamie on the trim was probably
probably on or the stream.
Maybe Tron Tron Tron.
I'll let you know.
I have goals.
I do have goals,
but I'm trying not to put a number
on my goal.
No.
Because I don't really care what the
number is.
I just want to feel better.
I want to move better, which I did.
I felt really good.
I was really hustling around this weekend
and didn't even phase me.
So, yeah.
That's my goal,
just to be fit and healthy and have
fun again.
To be able to go run around like
that all weekend and not having too many
ill effects from it.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah,
I think I said this on the first
recap show.
We had one little spot where we were
allowed to be at the finish line.
And the regular media pit was you had
to go.
So if you're in a regular media pit,
you had to go around the back of
the rig behind a curtain.
And then you had to go all the
way up around the bleachers up the one
side and then get to the finish line.
amy kringle was winning and i was doing
a reel about her and i'm like i
want to get the finish so i hustled
my ass around went all the way up
got out to the finish line and she
was in third close enough i was like
son of a bitch close enough close enough
she's there whatever it's fine i get the
whole way there and
And then like...
And this is not a WFP thing.
This is an all-over fitness competition
thing.
Eighteen cameramen showed up to get all
eighteen angles of the finish,
so you really couldn't get anything
anyway.
Hoping, praying...
Not going to happen.
Why you need five people around a GHD
machine to get five different angles of
the same person doing a GHD setup is
above and beyond my comprehension.
In case you've never seen them do a
GHD before.
We're going to have three doing the crotch
shot and then two with more elevated view.
It is so dumb.
No, they hold my camera up really,
really high and you get that,
that overhead kind of sort of view.
And then like the people are doing the
bench press and you've ever seen the
camera operators that have like,
it's on like a,
a gimbal or a stick and they hold
it down low.
So it's like really close to the floor.
Why do you need to hold your camera
down by the floor to come up to
someone doing the bench press?
That is straight up creepy pervert, man.
Absolutely.
Oh, Amanda says,
I only saw one camera person get in
the way.
It was the men's elite.
One of the athletes came down from the
handstand walk and the camera person was
so close to the athlete kicked him.
It's not.
Or maybe they just kicked him.
That sucks.
But visually, when you're trying to...
And this is a problem that, like,
why I think is a problem why some
people don't go to events.
You can't see.
Yeah.
That's a fact.
There's so many camera operators on the
floor.
It prevents you from watching the event.
Because if someone's in the lead and
someone's attempting something big,
there's eighteen people around that
person.
Now you've lost all view.
Silly.
Camera technology is in a place where you
don't have to be in their face.
Right?
You would think.
On the stream,
a cameraman was zooming in and out when
the women were in the rowers.
Livestream is not the time for artistic
video.
It's doing all of this.
Yeah, man, save that for the real.
We don't need that on the livestream.
Just, hey, she's rowing.
What would happen if a cameraman
interfered with an athlete who then got a
no rep?
I would love to know the answer to
that question.
I really,
really would because it's going to happen.
The fact that it hasn't happened or maybe
it has happened and I just haven't caught
it yet,
I would love to know the answer to
that question.
Ramirez says they should put a cameraman
on the field during an NFL game.
Just have Morstan Sawyers out there with
his gimbal running down the sideline next
to him.
But what is truly the difference between
that and having a cameraman near a
flipping six hundred and twenty five pound
sled?
Oh, no.
One hundred percent.
Absolutely.
There's nothing.
There's no difference.
Same thing.
Right.
It's just dumb.
all the way through it's dumb it's a
dumb concept it's a dumb idea it's a
dumb edu execution it should not happen
you don't need them to be i i
i don't want you to be right here
Here's the bigger question than a no rep
is a Quinn tears a peck and the
weight goes down and Jason Ainsley has to
run to help him get the weight off
of him.
And there are cameraman men in his way
and he can't get to quit.
There's in time,
like in an appropriate amount of time.
Yeah, absolutely.
Just delaying the response.
Even photographers and videographers,
my first time at Legends.
That's who I'm talking about.
Yeah, the Sandbag workout.
I told the dude on my second round,
I was like, hey, man,
I'm not going to stop.
Because he was right here.
Getting pictures, which is cool.
I paid for pictures.
I would like to get my pictures in
my video,
but I don't think you need to be
four feet from me or two feet from
me.
I got a hundred and fifty pound sandbag
on my shoulder and I'm making laps around
this, this, this in this tight area.
I'm not going to stop.
Even if I could,
I'm not going to like this is a
race.
Just you need to understand that if I
knock you down, it's nothing personal,
but you're in the way.
I had to move a judge from another
lane last weekend.
Yeah, I saw a couple judges this weekend,
and I said this over the weekend too.
I think we're just depleted in good
judges.
Yeah.
There's so many events now,
and there's no off-season.
and they all have to pay their own
way and they can't go to everything the
good judges can't be at everything no they
got lives like they're not getting so it
just they have to plan their season like
just like i would or or amanda would
or anybody else would like you have to
plan where you're gonna go what you want
to do all that stuff before you ever
get started i mean unless you have
unlimited funds and unlimited pto then
you're probably just a regular schlub like
everybody else you can't be everywhere at
once yeah i saw a judge like writing
down something on his clipboard like you
don't have to write a novel dude like
it's literally just numbers because of
that he wasn't aware of where he was
and the athlete actually had to push him
to the side yeah
yeah good judges also move up to
leadership positions need to teach new
judges just comes with experience i don't
know how they go to as many comps
as they do it's expensive trust me i
know last night i was trying to figure
out how
in the hell i could get to denmark
for the finals of wfp because i get
a ride with santa claus being as i
was three days before christmas
except Chris Henshaw he seems to be at
all of them that's because that is not
in fact Chris Henshaw that is my boy
Dave Horty who looks just like Chris
Henshaw who actually has a shirt that
answers a list of questions that says no
I am not Chris Henshaw and it's like
I went to the games and whatever year
Dave went to the games Chris Henshaw has
never actually been at the games competing
it's fantastic Dave Horty is a fantastic
human being love that dude
Yeah, and I think he's actually retired,
and that's why he can do that.
Yeah, he is.
He's fantastic, dude.
He's awesome.
Good, good dude.
Fair, clean, knows what he's doing.
Imagine a photographer using a zoom lens.
What a concept.
Well,
all the outside media have to use zoom
lens.
Like all of us along the barricade are
using Zoom lenses.
And you see some outstanding products out
there.
Like Ishmael killed it this weekend.
Dude, Ishmael, the picture I saw,
I haven't seen all of them,
but the stuff that I saw from him,
outstanding.
With the cameras,
I feel like they are trying to set
themselves up for marketing and content
can never have enough.
I get that,
but you don't need to be in the
two feet from the athlete.
It instructs the view from people watching
the event,
and there's a good chance you get in
the way of the athlete.
I'm just saying.
You don't need to be that close.
You just don't.
When you have like...
The amount of technology,
you can edit the photo or the content
and zoom in on the content after the
fact as well.
Need that macro shot.
Macro shot, baby.
That's like saying I need a one speed
bike.
I need that.
What is it to fix gear?
I need to fix gear bike.
I just want to do as much work
as I possibly can.
I got one lens.
I'm a photographer.
I would love it.
Ortega's probably got eight hundred lenses
laying around his house somewhere here,
there and yonder.
i know uh yeah dex dude dex has
got all kinds of i've seen all the
stuff he carries around i actually asked
that question a lot and a lot a
lot of people rent the lenses they use
for weekends they're expensive i mean some
of those lenses are twenty thousand
dollars
And so they rent them for the weekend.
And then like I was talking to Ortega,
and he has a couple that he's bought.
But then if he needs to do something
special,
he'll go rent a lens for that occasion.
Everything Ortega does is special.
Ortega, if you are still here,
are you going to Beachboro?
I'm going to see you at the end
of the month.
Um,
I didn't get to anything on my notes,
but I did want to say like,
I still don't eat at competitions.
I just,
it's never going to change as much as
I want to make it change.
Um,
Saturday I went all day without with just
pocket jerky all day.
And then we got to the restaurant Saturday
night and I ate all the fish in
the restaurant.
I bet you had to fight with Jamie
for all the fish in the restaurant because
I've seen her eat.
Well, she went with the salmon.
I had the tuna and the mahi.
Yeah.
I have seen Jamie Latimer eat.
If you have not seen it,
it is something to see because she just
doesn't stop.
Our friend Ronica was with us,
who is the co-owner of Jamie's Gym.
Love Ronica.
That's my girl, man.
And she's like, we're at dinner.
She's like, Jamie,
how the hell do you do that?
I said the same thing, didn't I?
The first time I saw her was at
a hibachi place,
and she was just knocking down the rice
and the noodles and all of the things.
That was at MFC.
We were competing the next day.
Yeah.
She ordered a bread basket at the one
restaurant,
and like –
just went to town on it yeah she
said she kind of laughed at me and
she kind of made a face that yeah
i can i can eat whatever i want
i said i see that obviously you do
not just that you can like because
technically i can't eat whatever i want
it's probably not a real good idea well
i i do want to say this about
jamie having her with me at these events
makes everything better oh yeah
like getting to debate with her during the
competition about what's going on just
makes it all the better but then sunday
morning i get up sitting there and she
brings up she made me eggs and bacon
like to make sure i ate like she's
just like she's one of she is one
of my best friends in the world she's
like a little sister and i can't thank
her enough
for going with us this weekend.
We had a blast.
She's a fantastic human being.
And then one last little thing.
Did you see Tyson Bajent's
Did I see Tyson Bajan running over people
on the field?
He did that too.
But the reason I'm asking you about the
ninety seven yard touchdown is it was to
former LSU wide receiver Zavian Thomas.
Zavian Thomas.
That dude's fast, man.
Holy smokes fast.
Like he is.
It's insane.
We talk about forty times.
They show the clip on Bears Twitter and
it's like this is what four one eight
looks like.
Xavion, he ain't nothing to play with.
You don't want to line up against him.
Probably not a great idea.
He made the Bears squad,
so he is on the fifty-three man roster.
Oddly enough.
Oddly enough.
I mean,
they only paid him ten million dollars.
Was that last year?
what tyson's contract when it when it last
year last year in this year yeah uh
our imposter said he's faster yeah so lex
sent me this um
It's a guy who had a fake forty-niners
helmet and would go to the beach and
he would hit on women saying he's a
former NFL player and played for the
forty-niners.
And he has pictures on his Instagram of
him signing the contract and talking about
that he chose to go to the forty-niners.
And the guy never, ever, ever, ever...
No, Zabian Thomas, former LSU standout,
incredibly fast, good hands,
good route runner.
Like he's just a good receiver all the
way around.
And that's cool.
I'm glad Tyson threw him.
What you said, ninety seven yards?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Outstanding.
I was way more impressed, I guess,
because I've seen Zabian do that before.
But watching him.
Tyson just truck people out in the open
field.
And then watching the,
look at the comments on, on,
on it where I saw it on Instagram
and like people, people just going,
Tyson's been in the weight room.
And I was like, yeah, all his life.
I don't know if y'all know that or
not.
Well,
it's not what you want your million dollar
backup quarterback doing.
uh on the field in a pre-season
meaningless game he don't bro hanging i
know i know but come on he ain't
that dude bro he ain't gonna slide that
ain't about that ain't about to happen
think about it like this from from tyson's
point of view right how often is he
gonna get to do that
Probably not very.
Well,
after that performance on Saturday night,
there's a good chance at some point he
will be sought after by another team.
I said everybody keeps saying, like,
there's not twenty five quarterbacks
better than him in the NFL.
And I would purport that there's probably
not fifteen quarterbacks better than him
in the NFL right now.
I need to see it in real game
action for a long period of time to
make the top fifteen statement.
i do think he's one of the best
thirty two for sure whatever ramirez um
the uh forty-niner imposter was arrested
by the fbi for all the money he
stole good if but if you see the
video like and that's why i laughed about
it he's in a forty-niners helmet on the
beach running routes in the sand
Ain't no real football player doing that.
No, no.
With their helmet on.
Right.
That's hilarious.
In swim trunks and a forty niner helmet.
Oh, that's good stuff.
Who was cut?
Who was cut?
What is Andrew talking about?
What are you talking about, Stan?
He's on the roster, bro.
They didn't pay him ten million dollars to
cut him like that didn't.
That's not a thing that's going to happen.
Bears fans,
y'all people are over the moon.
If you look at the highlights of him
from the preseason game over the weekend
and go look at the comments,
y'all are going to the Super Bowl.
I don't know if y'all knew that or
not.
But according to a lot of Bears fans.
But that's it.
It's written in stone now.
Andrew Stentha,
we're talking about Will Levis.
no i don't know levis isn't even a
thought in my brain i don't even know
who that is he was drafted by the
titans he was a penn state quarterback who
left for greener pastures and then there's
a lot of that going around yeah yeah
never never a fan
Anyway, with that, guys,
I should get back to work since I
took Friday off.
He was released and then said that there
weren't thirty two quarterbacks better
than him.
Got you.
Yeah, apparently there are.
Yeah,
there's there's probably forty better than
Will Levis.
You got to I mean,
you got to admire the man's confidence,
but we consider he's been cut.
He wasn't even kept as a backup.
So there's a chance there's sixty four
better than him.
Probably wouldn't.
That's good shit right there.
All right, guys.
I will catch you all tomorrow.
Tomorrow I've got a run of three shows.
We have our lunch show,
I have the A-Sports,
and then right into the wrap-up of WFP
tomorrow night.
Fun times, baby, fun times.
Al Bundy is a better quarterback than him.
Polk high.
Eighty-four, baby.
Let's go.
All right, guys.
Have a great day.
And always remember to stay jazzy.
You wouldn't wait to get to the editing
room to jazz me up.
I'm already jazzy.
Lunch with the Clydesdale Cowboy in the
saddle.
Lunch with the Clydesdale Cowboy in the
saddle.
Talking to reps,
real life strength in the battle.
From the gym to the screen, yeah,
we cover it all.
Midday motivation every time you press
call.
Lunch with the Clydesdale Cowboy in the
heat.
CrossFit, movies, musicals.
