His penis is gonna fall in your mouth todd oh my goodness uh yeah oh he's got the blue check he already has the blue check we were talking earlier to someone he did not have it and he has it now oh no way just like that just like that what do you have to do you don't want to know oh he's he got someone trying to get a wrench he comes from facebook i think his wife works at facebook i think his son works at facebook i think his mom works at facebook i

think his dad works at facebook i think his sister the whole fucking family works at facebook they're they're all let me see how many followers he has now. I saw earlier today at 200. No way. 200. Oh, 2,000. Okay, 2,000. Not quite as fast as the Rosa train. Okay, so still, that's good.

Not sure I like that link there. The affiliate map link would be cooler. Okay, we'll get them on. We'll get that. We'll talk about it. Yes. That's a good, Okay, we'll get them on. We'll get that. We'll talk about it. Yes. That's a good link. I'm just saying.

I expect you to tell him that in his first press conference you're attending, Sousa. That's right. Dude, you should. You really should. Just take the gloves off, dude. I like his top profile picture. Yeah. He looks like a British explorer.

Yeah, he's got some Bond in him, some James Bond. That's for sure. I don't judge anyone by their looks. I don't judge anyone by their looks. I reached out to Dave today, and I said, how involved were you with the picking of the new CEO? His response was, don't worry about it. I said, do you know this guy? He said, yes. I said, do you like him? He said, yes. I said, did you serve with them? He said, no. I said, is it true? He's your,

is it true? Your wife is his sister. He said, no. I said, are you related to him at all? He said, no. I said, have you known him for more than a year? He said, dude, I'm not doing an interview with you. And then he hung up on me. So that's the fifth question. He realized what was happening here. That call lasted longer than that. No, actually he said, I'm not doing an interview with you and then so then i said well have you known him for more than a year and then he said it again and then we went back and forth and played that game like two fucking broken robots like two fucking uh people who didn't want to give up and then he just hung up so um but i know i i i believe that when I believe that when Dave,

a few months ago went to Palo Alto and I was, I was like, what the fuck is going on over here? Um, I believe that Dave was meeting with this guy and some other guys. And I believe this guy was in the room. And I also believe that Greg Glassman was in the room. And I say that to stir the pot, but actually I don't know if there's really any

pot to stir but i do believe that i mean you can think i don't actually i'm not running wild with it but i kind of want you guys to but but from what i know it was it's um just uh coincidence it was just you know rich powerful motherfuckers meeting in a room together just like just because they're all around don fall served as head of operations for Pinterest. That was the one that just turned into a porn site, right? Yeah, yeah. Pinterest just ended up being like, it went from how to make your own matches to

how to make your own matches. Only fans. Only fans. Only fans didn't start out as a DIY site, Caleb, let me tell you. Yes, it did. I swear to God, it did. Only fans of my here let me teach you things and then all of a sudden people are like oh hey i can put my nudes

on there and now they fucking threw it on there oh i'm thinking of tumblr i'm thinking of tumblr right there you go tumblr go did he work for visco uh vp of global online operations for facebook and manager of online sales operations. Google. Yeah. So, uh, I'll, I'll,

I'll stop. I don't want to fucking just completely shoot myself in the foot right off the bat, but it doesn't look good for me and him. We give him a chance. Yeah. I mean, he was in the military. That's good.

But there are some woke motherfuckers in there too. Anyway, I know, I do think that it is a, a nor an enormous mistake unless you hate Justin Berg to announce this right now. This is this is the working at CrossFit HQ is an extremely it's a political monster. And especially at the top, it's crazy to fucking navigate. I mean, people, a lot of people at the top don't sleep at night and so for you to bring in a guy that has been associated with dave uh months ago at during the middle of

the games while justin's running it i can only like i would only do that if i wanted to fuck justin up so whoever did it i think either hates him or is a retard i mean that in the clinical sense no one get upset be like he said the r word no i mean i mean it like in the clinical sense, no one get upset. Be like, he said the R word. No, I mean, I mean it like in the clinical sense, like damaged, like mentally like damaged, like look it up. Lack of development. Thank you.

Yeah. There's a lack of, uh, some sort of development. You want to play devil's advocate on that? Please. Yeah, go ahead.

Yep. I wonder if the strategy was, um, him announcing it at the games because rumor has it he's going to actually be at the games and i think one of the things that we talked a lot about is there was nobody forward facing there was nobody accountable there was no like real leadership there so maybe this is their attempt at saying hey here's a new ceo we just announced and now he's going to be walking around he's approachable you guys can go up and ask him some questions uh i i think i think that's exactly why they did it i'm i'm guessing that's

exactly why they did it i'm guessing he is going to be there um i just i don't think he's going to show his best face there i don't think you want to put him in that position that that was a horrible position to put rosa in that was a horrible. You know what I would have loved to see is him and Dave travel around to the affiliates together when Dave did that. I would have loved to have seen him almost like, who's this guy with Dave? He's talking, he's listening, he's sitting in the background, he's taking notes, he's meeting affiliate owners. He's really involved in visiting and being inside the affiliates. Then they make the announcement. And then you would have a bunch of affiliates owners that all that Dave met with that way.

Oh, wait a minute. I met that guy. I didn't realize he was going to be the CEO. I really liked him. And then now you have the affiliate owners kind of champion him up in front rather than kind of dropping them into the ocean of the CrossFit games. Hey, if he's a if he's a mill guy, this is what made me think of this is because you said about affiliates if he's a mill guy they you would think that people's positions and how they perform it's life and death right so um if he would never put the guy who's the very best at packing parachutes uh in charge of putting gas in the fucking trucks he would have him be packing parachutes and the guy who's good with the gas pump over here that all i'm saying is it's fucking nuts that they brought in like if i'm justin i'm tripping like this guy's not putting people like the those

people in power now who made the decisions are full-blown admitted racist they put people in racist um sexist all that stuff they put people in power based on their um sex um sexual orientation uh and uh and and um uh race color of their skin i don't even know if it's race it's color of their skin like they're open about it they're not even lying about it i don't think the military i don't think an advanced military guy does that but but he did work at facebook who's the king king proponent of that stuff so so i don't know i don't know but i put the i put the uh i put the fucking aromas mexican back in at the games that's all i'd be thinking if i was justin and i'm telling you i work there it's

like that like people are like holding on for fucking dear life don't you think he probably would have used the same concept concepts when he was working at facebook though too putting people that did the best job in the right position uh no no no no not well kind of kind of but they were he was in the military first though yeah yeah yeah great point but but he was in the military first but then he took a job at facebook which has values that we know that you know yeah i hope you're right that company that are pretty good at their job and hey maybe he knows something maybe i'm wrong and it actually is better it is better to be racist and and uh sexist maybe it is better to hire people based on their skin color i just don't i'm just not i haven't got through yet hold on uh uh why sorry

uh come on why do you have a tampon string on your finger? Because it's that time of month for your mom, Graham. Sorry. Jesus Christ. Hey, I got to kind of come out hard on the first shows because you're going to be watching all week, people. And you don't want to be caught off guard with this shit. Desensitize you right away. I think I have been reporting Lauren

Fisher's injury wrong. I thought it was her shoulder. I saw her do a snatch today and then I got a DM from someone who I think is in the know who told me that it's this thing. Latimus dorsimus

fiximus maximus. I hear it's her lats and i all but in in um and what makes me think that that might be true too is i was told that she she can't do a muscle-up so we saw on her can we go over to lauren's um and and rakevick's uh instagram uh do you have any do you have any thoughts on that either of you guys on on what her injury could be well no there's it's all speculation if it's her lat she's probably better off than if it's a fucked up shoulder you pull a muscle you tear a muscle i don't i mean it depends on the tear a torn lat can be pretty can be pretty bad

but generally speaking muscle tissue heals a whole lot faster than any sort of tendon issue so keep scrolling let's look keep going keep going let's look at the last time we saw her doing a pooling movement keep going uh yeah that's not that's again that's speculative i i hear you i hear you i mean we're not i'm not asking you like it's not life and death. It's okay to speculate. It's sport. Let's play. Okay, here we go. There it is. What's the date? Yeah. April.

April? You think that's the last time she did? Oh, June. Okay. June, yeah, yeah. Oh, I have bad eyesight. I shouldn't be able to drive. Okay.

Hey, she's doing a bunch of them. She's doing six. Oh, I saw in that last muscle-up. I saw that's where she pulled her lat did you see that that was it uh hey for for everyone watching lug danny's muscle up all right never mind i'll go fuck myself um so so so that's the kind of the update on um her um i have you uh have any of you guys had a chance to watch any pillars uh videos this week no i have not had time to watch them are you in jr's content i want to say i watched the one at the beginning of the week like mondays

uh caleb have you had a chance matt no no everyone just look at annie's feet real quick that's how they should look in a muscle-up they stay low and she turns over and her feet stay together bam if yours don't look like that you're not good at muscle-ups all right oh that's a good psa i like that uh one of the things that he said was that in 2008 four percent of the athletes i can't was that in 2008 four percent of the athletes i can't remember which video was four percent of the athletes were affiliated to crossfit games here we are in 2000 sorry not 2008 2018 2018 approximately four percent of the fuck take two ignore everything i just said about that. In 2018,

4% of the athletes were not affiliated. In 2018, who went to the CrossFit Games as individuals? Okay? 2018, 4% were not affiliated. Now, in 2022, 15%

of the athletes in the individual competition are not affiliated some of the examples he gave were uh who day and he said that uh they belong to teams now um do you guys have any thoughts on that and one of the things i was thinking that crossfit could do should do i they they should have always done is offer maybe um athletes uh free affiliate free l1 and free affiliation oh there it is great good fine holy shit okay hey didn't they do that in the past because i remember seeing all the games athletes like 2012 to 2016 like you saw them at the l1 like they were there either working out attending it or were staff members themselves.

Is that, was that a thing back then? Or were they just back? I can't remember. I do remember like being in Carson and like, I remember like seeing athletes and being like, Hey, do you have your L1?

And they would be like, no. And I'll be like, okay, contact me after the games and I'll get it for you. Yeah. Cause my L1 2000, early 2013 had Miranda,anda pat barber jason

kalipa and neil maddox those are games athletes who are on seminar staff just right but i'm just saying that's how tight the connection was then right maybe it's maybe you know i have not given this a lot of thought with with my business mind on maybe it's um maybe it's good that um there's fewer who are um affiliated with an affiliate i but but i don't think so my gut instinct is it's not good well if it's just he's talking about the individual athletes that's that's the way i took it okay so that's 12 individual athletes which out of 80 is not. But it's trending in the wrong direction. It is trending in the wrong direction for sure. Why do you say that?

Why do you think it's not good? Why do you think it's bad? Well, if you take the pill that CrossFit sells, that these CrossFit Games athletes are the tip of the spear and revitalize the community and are an example of what to strive for, potentially. the spear and revitalize the community and are an example of what to strive for potentially an example of you know the average person's picture of perfection and their motivation and their examples and they don't work out an affiliate yeah what are they an example of you know like justin madaris's comment on that beyond the Whiteboard post, which I honestly just think is fucking annoying. Don't say that, dude. You're at the top.

Shut the fuck up. And that's it. I guarantee you Adam made him run sprints for that. Sorry. Go ahead, Jer. Yeah, I think also it may be a little bit more simple than that. You know, if you're a professional or an aspiring professional, you, you probably need to be spending five to eight hours in the gym. And if you're affiliate owner and space is limited and you know, that person needs to have access to whatever they need,

they may need to train during class time. You don't have the square footage to offer them a space where they can do what they need to do and compete the way they need to try to compete while classes are going on or in between classes. I mean, I have eight classes a day. I'm sure there's gyms that have 10 or 12. So if you don't have the space and if you're an athlete and you don't want to be a jackass and walk into a gym and say, okay, well, I need to have access to everything at all times. Then maybe you train on Tuesdays at a gym down the road because they have ropes that are high enough to climb. And then on Wednesday, you usually do most of your machine work and you know that the gym and the other direction has every concept

machine. And you just kind of bounce around from affiliate to affiliate, whether you pay for it or not, but it makes it feel like you're not putting the gym owner under duress by having to make exceptions for you. So I think a lot of it may just be the athlete trying to not be selfish versus the gym owner saying, you can only do what's on the whiteboard. You can't do your own programming. It's a bad example. Get out of here. Well, I don't think that's what I meant. And to Justin's credit, he is a big guy in the community. I mean, he goes to Adam's affiliate. I'm not saying that he's not and he doesn't enjoy affiliates. What I'm saying is when an athlete doesn't affiliate with the gym or expresses their

preference to not go to an affiliate, what does that say to the rest of the community? Yeah. And I think even Justin does the classes. Yeah. Which is sick. Right. That's one of my favorite things to do is the class workout. It's so much fucking fun.

People are fun. And so maybe these people who are unaffiliated just hate people, in which case they're not an example of anything and don't fucking watch them. Well, I think JR nailed it maybe. Let me ask you some leading questions here. JR, how many serious people do you have working out at your gym that have games aspirations? Can we go ahead and put semifinals in there or just games? No, no.

But I mean, sure, yeah, that have semifinals games, that have aspirations to compete. But serious aspirations to compete. At least 20. Yeah. So that's crazy, right right because when you were talking when you were talking about the example you're just talking about one guy what if you have two what if you have three of these jackasses what you got 20 of these these knuckleheads we've got a few handful that's a whole that's a whole gym you need a whole gym for that at that point

at that point they're fighting with each other right no i think there's a good mutual understanding there well you you know what i mean by fighting with each other fighting is not the right word competing for equipment and times even they have to work with each other they like if you had just two they could be blah zai fair about when they come in right which way they know yeah they know the boundaries not to cross with me and with the members who are just taking classes and they respect it and a lot of them do the classes every single day but they just train three or four more hours in between classes class comes first i'm always do you have any um games aspiring athletes at your gym suza uh no no there's there's probably like one uh person who comes to mind that would be

aspiring to be like a semi-final level and but it's the same same exact way what jr and taylor just said which is like the class is the priority and everybody else comes second to that so they come in they do the class workout as their main metcon and they just kind of fill in little things but i also do have a little space off to the side that's not by the class our our gym is fucking huge let me tell you the story it was before granite games like a few weeks and i was doing jerks from the blocks with the class class workout was split jerks i had split jerks they were taken from iraq we had one set of blocks i'm taking from the blocks and when you drop it it's loud and then andy looks at me after i'm warming up with the class and he goes, Hey,

what are the chances you fucking take that outside? And he said it like from across the gym where everyone could hear it. And I just fucking, my face turned red. I went to the pay door. I took my fucking bar out there. I slammed the garage door down and you haven't got into it, but class comes first, even for the,

even for the best. It has to. Yep. So big. You get there with your girlfriend or you get there with your mistress and your girlfriend's on the other side of the Yep. Jim's so big, you get there with your girlfriend, or you get there with your mistress, and your girlfriend's on the other side of the gym. That's how they lose.

You got a story like that, Taylor? No, I don't. What? Okay. Okay, so that's a trend worth watching. Do you have an opinion on it, JR? Go ahead, Taylor. this is a great comment i and this is so interesting mike halpin's comment great question non-level one athletes are giving out programming to people that have no idea beyond a youtube video

how to do a muscle-up or snatch that's that's another thing you see a lot in the community is you know fuck anyone puts out a workout with what with what experience what do you mean yeah what's it what's it what's a non-level one athlete meaning you haven't taken your level one or what does that mean you're an athlete without a level one i'm sure there are a lot i'm sure there are fuckload of semi-final athletes without level ones i'm sure there are games athletes without level ones pat velner is he really he doesn't have a level one? No. You guys made this the most enjoyable games in recent memory,

and we haven't even started yet. Thank you, and here's to a great week. Thanks, Jackson. Oh, look at that. Follow. Yeah, follow my programming. Throw that comment out there. Mike's a good guy.

Will Plummer, hi. How can I help you? How we doing? Figured I'd call in, boys. How we a good guy. Will Plummer, hi. How can I help you? How we doing? Figured I'd call in, boys. How we doing? Good. Closed. Good.

Oh, nice. Closed? Yeah. That's good. Yeah. Should be closed on the internet. Is Jacob Crouch? That's not Jay Crouch.

That's not related to. I think it's a different Crouch. Oh. Hey, he doesn't even like that. Let me tell you about Taylor. Shut up, Crouch. He hates that question because he's not... In his mind, he is a games athlete.

He just hasn't been to the games yet. Am I right, Taylor? I think you have to have that mindset. If you believe it. I think you have to have that mindset How can You believe it Mr. Plummer Have you been to the Venue yet

Yes I'm looking at the venue right now I'm about 50 yards away from the field Okay is there anything you can report to us Do you see ropes hanging Do you see any of the Fields of play Anything like that

I haven't seen ropes I saw the rings on the CrossFit game story earlier today. But other than that, there isn't really anything inside yet. They're not letting you, like, on the venue. But you can see the vendor village and the campground. All right. Do you have any insights for us? No, I got nothing.

I was just calling to say hi. Okay, thank you. Hi, bye. Okay. Well, ladies and gentlemen uh at the um oh before i switch subjects um uh jr do you do you have any thoughts about that about those numbers about do you think it's a good thing or a bad thing that uh the athletes are becoming less and less affiliated with an affiliate? Or do you think it's just circumstance of space? I think it's a little bit more circumstantial than realizing that they are high maintenance and they do have a lot of needs.

And instead of asking gym owners to buy equipment for them constantly or worrying about being frustrated that someone's in their way when they're working out. They're either trying to find space at their own home to work out or they're just jumping around to different gyms daily to do different pieces at different spaces. That's why your environment matters so much. And I think the best athletes have the best environments. And for some, it doesn't have to be an affiliate. Like, yeah, you can go and win the CrossFit Games and not train an affiliate.

Matt's a good example of that. But you can also be a huge part of your community and win the game six times. And Tia is going to be a great example of that as well. I'm on your thoughts on the new CEO. I can only speculate. I mean, just what we've already speculated. Mill Guy has knownave for a while i think dave was somehow involved in the pic i'm guessing i don't know how um and uh he was at facebook and that's concerning

um just because of their enormous amount of censorship you have to remember facebook was a place that uh dismantled the largest keto group on the planet. There was like the largest, this is less than two years ago. There was a group on there pushing ketosis and Facebook said that they were, that that was bad. You have to remember people, there's people who don't realize this. Greg Glassman was kicked out of fucking 15 gyms for pushing a low carb diet before he started CrossFit.

I mean, this shit is fucking serious. before he started crossfit i mean this shit is fucking serious probably the most well um known most successful um exercise scientist uh um uh timothy noakes basically they tried to take away his fucking degree in south africa because of what he was saying about low carb diets i mean so and so i mean in facebook part of of that, that, you know, did their sensor, their organization that sensors on a bad level, John George, hi, how are you? Good. How are you guys doing? Great. All right. So I got a couple of questions. I'll start with my first one for, um,

the boys to do a lot of the programming there. If you take Amanda, if you take Amanda Barnhart, right? Who's a phenomenal. Where? Like out to dinner? What do you mean? Take her where?

Well, I mean, that would be great too. I mean, I would sign up for that, but no, you take her out of Bergeron camp and put her in. Be nice,

buddy. Be nice. Be nice. Don't be, don't be like killer. Be nice. I'm not going to go like killer but okay i think there's something missing she's got all the tools you put her down uh whether it's down in the camp in south florida with someone like matt i just don't know if she's getting

or reaching her potential with bergeron and And I've seen that with some of the other athletes. And I'm curious if you got... But how can you say that? Okay, I'll let you guys answer. I just don't know how you guys do that, but I'll let you answer. Go ahead. What do you think about her switching camps is what he's asking. Right, sir?

Do you think change would do good for her? She's at top level, level top 10 but she can't seem to get across and if you look at her and look at her skill set and background she almost seems like she should be i think in order to get better you have to get really uncomfortable and i think that's what she did when she initially moved to boston um and it's really hard it's hard to armchair quarterback that if you had to move where would you let's entertain this guys if you had to move her

taylor where would you go you take her to the froning factory the mayhem empire take her to hwpo you take her to proven well the problem with the best go out on a limb and you send her to florida with uh in in hope she doesn't open mouth kiss well none of those proven or the problem with the best go out on a limb and you send her to Florida with a, in, in, in home, she doesn't open mouth kiss. Well,

none of those. I think the problem with those camps, the problem with camps and the problem with huge name coaches is that they have so many athletes and that's why Matt never used them. That's why rich never used them. Cause you don't want to go to some coach. Who's got six other athletes that they have a fucking stake in the game for them doing

well too and so it's not a knock on amanda and how successful she's going to be that bergeron also coaches michaelishan or did coach katrin and all of these other athletes but in my mind it's impossible for the coach to want the absolute best for me when he has three other individuals competing in the same um so, so I don't, Hey, John, what do you think about her going to, um,

uh, West to Adam knifer? What if she would have beat Ellie to the punch? Yeah, I think, I think she needs just like, uh, I think she needs to be pushed out of her comfort zone.

And it seems like the workouts that she struggles in are the ones where she can't just go into that dark place and go deeper and stay there. And someone's got to push her there. I will say that she moves fucking impeccably, which is a lot of the battle at the top. Yeah. Oh, that's a great name. Vicky Savard.

Is that how you pronounce it i don't know but i like it and dude this is a fucking this is a great point she left fuck catch and left bergeron and and it wasn't so good it wasn't it wasn't so good true but the grass is always greener on the other side i feel like yeah the grass is greener where you water it all right hey jr do you like this question or this are you say that again caleb i said the grass is greener where you water it so long right right good point i like that your grandpa told you that huh caleb your grandpa fucking slapped you around

slapped you around and told you that. Slapped you around and told you that. Grass was greener. He was so proud he got to use that on me. He got to slap me around a little bit. I could tell he'd been abused. But he said that to his grandpa. Grandpa, the grass was always greener. And he's like, sons. But it worked.

It worked for other athletes. JR, do you like the question? What do you think about the question before I ask you to answer it? I mean, I think it's a slippery slope, right? So I think as an athlete, you're concerned about two things. You're concerned about results and improvement. And for some people, one may take precedent over the other. However, to say that she's kind of stalled out and that she's not continuing to improve,

I think we should probably pump the brakes a little bit on. She's had finishes of 15th, 7th, 7th, and 9th at the games. So her worst finish is 15th. That was her rookie year. And I don't know what kind of play she has to compete for how many more years, but I think if she continues to finish in the top 10, for someone that on the show today seemed really confident, really comfortable where she was at. Didn't seem like she was getting antsy and she needed to explore other options with her coaches.

Why would you make that change just because you felt like you needed to John, thank you for stimulating conversation. I want to say something right here real quick. I feel bad. That was a Mike Halpin article. I'd forgotten that or they still forget that Hiller was referencing. This guy, Mike Halpin, is contributing at such a fucking high level to so many podcasts and to the Morning Chalk Up and just everywhere.

This guy is a beast. We've got to figure out some way. I've never met this guy. I don't know if he can talk, but if he can talk, maybe we should get him on the show if his mouth works. Have you ever talked to him? Have you talked to him, Sousa? I have i have not no have any of you guys you do talk to him i've texted or messaged him but i've never talked to him on the phone yeah i text him he texts good but i don't know if his mouth operates smooth you got a pretty mouth boy yeah how's your

mouth mike can you come on the show look at john you got another question but uh i think i saw a girl was calling it's always good to let girls get in uh yeah i know sorry uh it's about your boy colton oh yeah i fell asleep last night waiting for the show and i put some questions on there but i'm worried he doesn't have enough support like does he have a chiro or physio or he's taking care of you know who's there to bullshit he doesn't got shit i bet he's got a coach he's got fucking sponsors he's taken care of you know who's there to bullshit he doesn't got shit i bet he's got a coach he's got fucking sponsors he's a tier sport athlete he's gonna have he's gonna be taken care of god i hope you're right john i'm with you though i'm with you i think um they're gonna put a fucking pig on his back and tell it to walk around and he's gonna be

oh sorry john you got waxed sorry john i hung up on you. Miss Rebecca. Hi, how can I help you? Hi, how's it going? This is my mom. I'm telling them my mom's. Okay, go ahead. Put her on. I thought it was a girl calling. Okay, go ahead. Miss Rebecca. Tell us what you got hey i i want to say is i don't think colton does i think colton's got like like a foam roller in a in a fucking like in a fucking thing of fucking tylenol i swear to fucking god he's got a fucking sandwich bag with all his meals in it for the next, like, homeboy is ghetto. His dad dropped him off at the airport in a fucking tractor, a John Deere.

He's in his CBD dropper oil into his Icy Hot and mixes it together. Yes, yes. I've done that. Okay, brother, go ahead, shoot. So my question was, out of all the, you know training camps that have uh popped up in the past couple years out of all of them which do you think the the athletes will do the best out of all the uh training camp like mayhem and as an aggregate like as an average as a because no one can beat mayhem right because they got so many as an aggregate mayhem or like i wouldn't even call

hwpo a camp because it's two athletes and they're not going to take on more um so i don't think you can count them but if you did count them then hwpo will do best the best average of their athletes will prove it the proven camp's gonna put have the fittest person who's ever lived at the game and it'll be brooke will be there as well and do they have a male? Isn't Saxon? Oh, that's right. Saxon is proven.

So maybe, maybe proven, but fuck that's three athletes too. Can you, it is a camp. I don't think you can call HWPO a camp. Will Morad is there also. That's right.

Well, then proven, proven for sure as an aggregate is going to have the best individual athletes. Gotcha. Gotcha. Thank you guys. Thank you for taking time to answer my question absolutely thank you thank you oh turi helga daughter's hwpo but she doesn't train at the camp so is it camp no the the point of doing the show today was the fact that oh here we go okay this is mike halpin everyone asking

one question let's see if he talked good. Mr. Halpin, good to hear from you. Hey. Hey. How are you? I can talk. I thought maybe you could just write. This article that you wrote that Hiller got the information from in regards to how many athletes, regards to um how many athletes uh the history of athletes who come from uh affiliates that are currently affiliated what was the premise of the article what's the whole picture of the article

yeah so keller was closest probably um it the data i originally pulled was more about unaffiliated and then it was sort of blended into a games article. I would say, um, that I tuned it to, to just point out, yeah, there's 12 games athletes, but like, but some of them, it spans the gap because there's a bunch of mayhem athletes like Cara and others that are like, well, they do mayhem. And she was on your show the other day. She does that just because it's way easier for her than trying to go to affiliates.

But she's still affiliated, right, Mike? Well, depends on who you ask. Her Noble shirt says Carve on it, but her games profile doesn't have an affiliate. And what would she say, that she trains out of her house? Doesn't she own her own gym? She did. I don't know. Yeah.

Yeah. I mean, it's all games data. You can ask Chad. It's great. But you pulled the data together and wrote an article. Are you fact-checking now your own article and saying that it might not be true? Yeah.

No. Sorry. I've run it five times. My bad. I've written two total articles in my entire life. What was the premise of the article in the first place? What was the premise of the article in the first place?

The growing unaffiliated group and then what games-level athletes promoting their own programming outside an affiliate may mean to crossfit llc and crossfit affiliate versus crossfit games um uh hold hold sorry hold on a second uh suza i would love to see james townsend in a ceo shirt and fucking die and went to heaven my guy jeremy just got 10 fucking bucks and you're not not gonna pull up his comment hold on james i will hand deliver you a ceo shirt you're at the venue

uh sorry mr albin uh jeremy williams hello brother uh taylor where the fuck is my um i'll be dropping soon i'll be dropping soon i'll get you one okay you too seven uh that's the tell me what the acronym stands for tell me what the acronym stands for again as self-made training program what is the male uh there's another it like term that it stands for um i forget how helping what do you do for a living simple manager for a technology company you're what i'm an account manager for a technology company but you also know how to program you're also a programmer smtp uh smtp is an email is an email format suck my tiny penis two of us on the show taylor only i can say shit like that

mute them oh that's in the comments yeah okay good good you get a pass taylor yeah okay and so and so basically one of your hobbies is just pulling data is just pulling crossfit data yeah yeah and i found out a pretty good way to do it i've i've talked to brian and tyler and i'm surprised by the amount of people that seemingly do this by hand like i can do i can pull down all the data from the crossfit games in a second so yeah awesome i'm not jerking myself off here well when you said you're surprised by how many people do it by hand, that's exactly where I went. But I couldn't think of a quick joke. But thank you for throwing that in there.

Are you going to the games this weekend? No. No, okay. Why? Yeah, why? I know, exactly. I sit at a computer. I could watch them all do it on YouTube.

My feelings, exactly. Okay, brother. Well, thank you for calling in, and we'll be in touch. And thank you for confirming the fact that YouTube. My feelings, exactly. Okay, brother. Well, thank you for calling in and we'll be in touch and thank you for confirming the fact that you don't talk so good. Okay, thank you. Thanks, Mike.

Exactly. Bye. Jamal Smith, how can I help you? So fun. That voice. They don't make them like they used to. So I feel like the one story that I think nobody has really touched on is Samuel Cornwall. How do y'all think he would have done this year at the games?

Let's hear it, boys. It's a great question, I think. It is a great question. We just had somebody pop up. Savani, see the gentleman down there? James Stubbs. James Grubbs. James Stubbs. James... This guy.

Oh, no. Jamal, brother, we will circle back to you in James Grubbs, James Stubbs, James. This guy. Oh, no. Whoa. Holy shit. Jamal, brother, we will circle back to you in just a moment. Nobody call in. Stay the fuck off my phone. Oh, wait, let me just say this. Jamal, you call, right?

Go ahead. You can say hi to Adrian, and that's it. Say hi, Adrian. I love you. Adrian, you're the best. I can't wait to see your program in this year. Super proud of you. Hey, appreciate it, man.

Thank you. I apologize. I thought we were going to have Donald Trump and instead we're stuck with Adrian Bosman. I can do my Donald Trump impersonation if you like. Do you have one? I'm trying to get in the camera. People say to me all the time, Bosman, you've got the best range of motion. Nobody's got range of motion like you do. range of motion like you do. Yes.

Adrian, would you like to address a rumor or would you like to talk about your hair? I got like five minutes. I just got back to my hotel room. Then I'll choose rumor. I got to go eat. You guys got like five minutes. I heard there's going to be a jump rope variation this year.

Can you confirm or deny? I can't confirm anything, man. Come on, man. You're not going to get this. You're going to get it like I'm going to go. What is your favorite? Okay, you're right. That was too strong.

Let me get it. Yeah, come on. You can come at me like that. I'm not coming back. What are your favorite ways to jump rope? Next question. You do have a fighting background. I mean, yeah mean yeah sort of i boxed a little bit in college just for fun uh i do jujitsu currently as a hobby um dabble with some other stuff along

the way so yeah i guess if that makes me a fighter i don't know but no definitely not but you used to attend about you used to attend a boxing gym and where there was a lot of jump roping and if we were to see there no i didn't i didn't i it was in college and i it was like the local boxing club at the university i went to god for some reason i thought you went to one in san francisco and you and i walked by it one day no problem i got a big problem i got for a little bit okay okay um uh any any um any weird weather expected uh this year at the Games? Tell me. Tomorrow's looking dicey, so we got weather plans. Fingers crossed that nothing happens. I mean, it would be awesome if we could run as we have planned, but we got backups if we need it.

It would just be a real damper, no pun intended, if we had to change what we got on the docket. No pun intended if we had to, you know, change what we got on the docket. Why wouldn't there be – why would rain affect the outdoor fence? Just the safety of the biking or? No, primarily the surface that the athletes would be jerking on is something that we want to be really conscious of. You know, like heavyweight at race pace, slippery bad things happen so okay okay uh and and um if one year we were there and i don't know um i'm sure you remember and it was so cold oh man i would love it if it was cold let's go really okay so so tell me what's going on there

now what's the environment like is it hot as shit dude it's super humid it's really really really muggy it's pretty hot it's supposed to be pretty hot and muggy tomorrow and rain kind of breaking throughout the morning and they tell me that there might be thunderstorms like midday so we'll see uh do you have a um adrian uh whisperer do you have someone who's your right hand man or woman? Yeah. Courtney. Courtney's been here for years. Awesome. Did you meet the new CEO? I did very briefly. And is that, are you okay with that? Or is that a huge distraction for you? It is like literally a non-entity in my mind at all. I'm like, uh, what? Cool. I don't have time to think about that. Put out the next fire. Yeah.

Yeah. Um, um, mission critical. Um, can you tell us when the next announcement is going to be not what the announcement is, but just when it's going to be? Yeah. I think they're all posted that, uh, we're going to do another one midday tomorrow for both individuals and teams. It'll be after lunch um and so they'll get a couple more uh announced um then okay i apologize someone did afford that to me so there is a graphic

on instagram that says hey this is when the announcements yep are are uh going to happen um uh any um uh in individuals any any sign of anyone pulling out? Not that I'm aware of right now. Everything, everything looks great. Yep. And are you staying at the Edgewater? Oh yeah. And are you in the presidential?

I got the, uh, rooms kind of like dark right now. Did you get the presidential suite? I have it for meetings and I'm, I haven't decided if I'm going to move up there. It's got a nice tub. I like a good bath at the end of a long day, you know? You deserve it, brother. What time did you go to bed last night? 1230. And what time did you wake up this morning? Six. And is that the plan every single day? Hopefully not. But tomorrow is a monster day, man. I mean, the schedule, we start comp at 9 in the morning. Our last heat finish is at 9.20 p.m.

We got to plan, not plan, but confirm everything for the day after that. So it's going to be a monster tomorrow. After that, hopefully we'll be a little more mellow. JR, do you have a question for Mr. Bosman or a comment? Yeah, I like Heidi's question down here. Oh, good, yes. you know a little more mellow jr do you have a question for mr bosman or a comment yeah like heidi's question down here uh minimum oh good yes uh minimum work requirement for 2a or 2b uh that's that's all like briefing stuff that's going to happen tomorrow for the athletes so not fair at all to be like giving briefing information here uh so well wait a second that's a matter of

opinion uh yeah and i just gave you mine My opinion is that it's totally not fair. It's the most important opinion. Taylor, do you have a comment or a question for Mr. Bosman? Workout that you think will take the toughest toll on athletes out of the three that are announced? Out of the three that are announced? The four scores. You have the capital uh oh oh i'm sorry yeah my head wasn't there oh i mean that capital one is a grinder man that's gonna that's gonna leave a mark cool adrian love you dude hey right on man thank you guys it's been fun glad i could

make it yeah thank you so much thank you bye thanks man wow i didn't even see him i didn't even see him pop in it was kind of because there's a so there's the rose long so drop down that's why i did that i didn't know if you were like waiting for any particular announcement my uh the um i think the more he the more we see of him i think he's just the perfect person to step into the role me and him go to the same barber do you really i mean it looks like it okay we definitely use the same brush someone said he looked like ethan hawke in the uh comment section did you see the new black phone movie no that's a horror movie isn't oh it's fucking sick yeah it's not that scary though

it's a good movie can't do horror movies uh jamal i'm so sorry that i had to um uh uh whatever uh to to whatever that hang up on you okay i'm gonna text james townsend right now i wonder if boz will go on with morning chalk up every night uh don't give anyone any ideas no he gave us his five minutes that's it he's got no more time he's got no more minutes we take all the minutes no more fucking five minutes oh oh because james is that everybody james is at the venue so you can give him a shirt directly will you get out will you give him two of the ceo shirts and one of all the other ones? Yeah, as soon as I connect up with Gabe because he has all our shirts,

I'll grab both of them. Like good-looking buff dudes get two shirts. Hand-delivered. How important is it having the right coach for the CrossFit Games? Is it similar to the NFL like having Reed, McVay, Belichick? When he says for the CrossFit games, does he mean like being there or does he mean the buildup to it? If it's the buildup to it,

it's gotta be one of the dumbest questions ever, right? Well, but it applies to both for the buildup to it. Obviously your coach is important and who's writing your program and just everything about having a coach is the buildup is important, but including at the venue and during the event, again,

common sense, I think. Give me one second. Gabe, Paper Street Coffee has a booth at the Inventor. What's up, brother? I was summoned. I heard my name. And so you just called. Okay, yeah.

So, Susan, did you see the uh stuff that was being unloaded no i had equipment no no no no no what do you know what do you know all right so we have i wanted to call after adrian and i was going to call like during but i was like no i don't want to get kicked out so we have ghc we have echo. We have the Crash Mats for either pegboards or rope climbs, whatever. Gears, Concept 2 Bike. Oh, Concept 2 Bike. What do you mean you have all those? People can just come to the booth and work out?

No, no, no, no, no. I'm being unloaded from trucks. Oh, shit. Okay, okay. So, GHD, Biker, Crash Pads. loaded from trucks oh shit okay okay so ghd biker crash pads skier echo bike echo bike i have a hard time seeing them better etc like what are crash pads for that means just rope climbing pegboard but i would have a hard time seeing them do a road bike, a biker, and an echo bike all in one weekend. Could just be warm-up area stuff too. That's a good point.

Yeah, it could be for the warm-up area. And Boz said that it would really put a damper on things, no pun intended, if the weather didn't hold up. So maybe the bikes are the contingency plan if the weather is safe enough to bike. There you go or so i would say the same thing but the the warm-up area was there was so much of that equipment for the warm-up area okay there was a lot of that equipment and also those foam boxes Phone boxes. Oh, okay. Those phone boxes for, I guess, box jump overs, whatever. Yeah, I'd venture to say JR's point's right.

Concept 2 bikes are for the warm-up area and contingency for the bike-to-work workout. I said he put a damper on it. Jamal Smith, it's all good. I got to talk to the legend, Adrian Bosman. there was another comment i thought i saw uh this one jose okay i don't really understand this question do you want to take it uh taylor basically said of course your coach building up to the event is important but how important is a coach at the actual event chair yeah i mean i think having someone that can really dissect workouts and help you strategize workouts if that's not something that you're really good at as an athlete and some athletes

are super cerebral and really don't need that but some athletes really really need it when they have it it's a huge weapon so just like mcveigh or andy reed calling a really good play on third down versus leaving it up to the quarterback same kind of thing hopper loves having a fraser in his corner loves it right and your event hygiene how you're taking yourself before and after events how you warm up how you warm up is huge especially for i mean for any workout at that level and max el haj is pretty important to his athletes for that too, right? Thanks for the question. Gabe, 10% off if people use Savant at paperstcoffee.com?

Correct, 10% off. I will be giving away a bunch of gift cards at the booth. Okay. The booth is in Vendor Village. Also, there'll be CEO shirts being given away there. Wear your shirt on Sunday. Take a picture of yourself. Sign up for the email, all that shit, and there's a good chance you'll win an Echo Bike.

Yep, we'll be there. I'll catch you guys later. Do your thing, and I will see most of you, hopefully, starting tomorrow. Awesome. Thanks, dude. Thank you. See you. Thanks, man. Mike Halpin, I am 100% a data data nerd brian is the only analyst that breaks the

mold breaks what mold that he that he likes to he likes data and he does other shit too he's a little freak in the sack as some might say he's not a one-trick pony oh my god instead of this he was staying he was staying at jr's guest house and me and jason were doing we're training we walked in and the guest house was can i say this jr you're gonna mad at me it was do not do not say that i thought it was brian me and jason were like dude what is wrong with brian did he just do murph in jr's guest house but it was it was these two little shih tzus that were in there it wasn't it wasn't Brian so Brian's forgiven he's not a stinky guy oh that's not the real

story is it JR he just he's awesome so quick wow wow that's the story it is the real story wow did he do Murph in there no he did Sally and Carol the twins Jeremy Garcia uh based on the last chance qualifier tiebreakers at games events 2a and 2b is split is split event scoring the future tell you the truth I can't get my head wrapped around how to strategize for this event it's I'm pretty uh I'm really excited to see how it's going to play out. I it's not the future, but there's been split event scores in the past. Uh, these are, these aren't just split event scores. Yeah. It's not, it's not two different events that are scored back to back. So this is something new that

breaks the mold, but I think it's implemented in order for people to to not sandbag a piece um they both matter and so i think that's why they're doing it and i think the result of it will give boz and the other folks what they want do you think this do you think this workout um is bad in the sense that it rewards the specialists. No, no way. Cause if you are a run specialist, then you win your event and you get fucked on the lift. And if you're a lift specialist, you might win the lift, but then you get fucked on the run and you might not even get to the lift if

you're bad at running. So I don't think it rewards a specialist. I think it's great. CrossFit. Okay. All right. Oh, do you have a,

do you have an answer to this? Uh, um jr based on uh last chance qualifier tie breakers and games events 2a and 2b is split events going in the future yeah i think it goes back to what boz said he he loves the workouts where he wants to see who's going to take the risk and then he also wants to make you not even have to choose yeah you have to take the risk i love that and i also want to clarify that i think at this level there are not any specialists at the games and when you use the word specialist it is to the smallest degree at that level um so calling gi a specialist compared to maybe some other athletes at the games yes but compared to 99.99 of people on earth no crazy well-rounded yeah okay um caleb can you bring up um that uh crossfit games

instagram post where we can take a peep at the schedule? This one or the actual schedule itself? This. Correct? Yeah, yeah. I think so. So when I asked that question to Adrian, that was a dumbass question because they already had that shit up. Yeah, that annoyed him. Don't do that.

Did it? Did you see him annoyed? No. No. Individual announcements, Monday, August 1. that all right you did it did you seem annoyed no uh individual announcements monday august one that's yesterday we got that out of the way and then and then wednesday is tomorrow and the events uh three and four will be announced in the afternoon okay after lunch he said okay and is there a slide that just has the um uh schedule yeah i'll pull that up okay thank you we are we are trying to get um our schedule up you are looking at um the team for your games week that we will be at the center of it us five

jr there's a great question up here that i would i want to hear honestly what your your uh answer to it is do you mind if i ask uh give me one second give me one second and then we'll get to it don't forget it um so tomorrow so so this is where taylor the the schedule you sent us today i thought it said individual starts at noon tomorrow no those are the finished times so i sent you all of the finished times where we can get on okay is that okay do you want me to remake it and no no no okay that's good no no you you're you're good i and i'll print these um out uh tonight so that's 9 a.m central time so it's 7 a.m pacific standard time this shit this shit um goes so we basically need to figure out whether we're going to go on tomorrow for an hour before.

And I think it would be smart to go on a little bit before because we'll have people like Sousa on the ground there who, with their cell phones, can tell us what they see and what's going on and make us feel closer to the event. So a little bit before 10, an hour before. 9 a.m. Yeah, for me, that would be 6 a.m pacific standard time okay um yes okay thank you uh caleb uh okay yeah go ahead what's the question uh you want to bring up here jr what yeah this exactly what would you make the minimum work requirements uh that you must complete the shuttle runs for all three within the interval time and that there's a minimum work requirement of one jerk can you bring up the workout holy shit really what well what would you i yeah that's

good i will i agree on the run that you would have to complete the run within the buy-in or else you you get a dnf in the workout but how can you force a one rep minimum work requirement on the jerk or are you just thinking of people that want to sprint the runs and not lift how do you mean how what do you mean how can you how do you force a minimum work requirement of one leg okay you're right you're right or anything like that you just have someone out there with a bb gun they just shoot you if you don't fucking get to the bar well well i guess what i'm saying is and what i would wonder is if an athlete tries on the run, gets to the bar and can't lift the bar,

but they're making an effort to, would that, it might be that. What if it was just get to the bar and make an attempt, show effort, make an attempt. Show effort. Cause wasn't that the deal at the games in 2020 because they didn't show

effort. Yeah. Cause you couldn't get more some bottom five. So if you try to game it, like Jr was talking about earlier, it puts a bunch of – Dude, they better not have something like – They better not have something like just an effort. Yeah, I don't think that's such a good idea.

I agree. It's not talking so good. Subjectivity is not great, but – JR, so – Well, if he can't fucking jerk 300 pounds at that level, yeah, I agree. One rep is appropriate. So what would you get the DNF for, JR? Both workouts? you can't fucking jerk 300 pounds at that level yeah i agree one rep is is appropriate so what would you get the dnf for jr um uh both both workouts so you lose 200 points no so like if

you were just trying to strategize to win um the run yeah and your plan was to not attempt any jerks that if you didn't attempt any jerks you didn didn't at least get one jerk. You couldn't do intervals two and three. Okay. Okay. I like this. Okay. I like this. So this,

and cause it's, it's, it's really the third run that I'm worried about. So you're saying that you have to run 400 meters, do one jerk, rest one minute, run, uh,

600 meters, do one jerk, rest two minutes. minutes and the last one it doesn't matter you don't need a jerk because at that point there's no gaming i mean i even think if you make them do one rep in the first interval that's the minimum work requirement and if they choose to okay okay i like it that's up to them them. Taylor, you like it? I love it. I love it. I would imagine it's probably something similar to that. We'll see. I like, why just the first one, JR?

Why not make him do both? Well, because at that point, maybe you do have someone that literally is only going to be good for one rep. Oh, like shit, like that's their, like they said, a PR out there. It's possible. You wouldn't think that with 300 and 200 at all. No, there's. Like that's their mat. Like they said, a PR out there. It's possible. You wouldn't think that with 300 and 200 at all. No,

there's no, one's going to be hitting a jerk PR at that weight. How about that? Zenoni guy from fucking the moon or wherever. We don't know about him. So maybe that, that a semifinalist, how about the dudes from just like the,

the undeveloped parts of the CrossFit ecosystem? I don't know. I still don't think that that's anywhere near close to a PR for any of these athletes. I would be very shocked. Does anyone have a 400-pound jerk in the posse? Mm-hmm. Guy's got a 400-pound jerk. And...

I bet Justin's done it maybe from behind the neck, but probably not from the front rack would there be stipulations on that i'm getting an echo from uh yeah they'll for sure take it from the rack yeah i'm sure it's got to be from the front rack for this uh wyatt begay's got a good question for taylor as a follow-up and i think he kind of went into it on the show earlier today if but he may not have heard it how you would approach the workout. To get the best score on, I personally think around a six minute mile pace, which is a little faster than six minute mile on the shuttle because you're stopping and starting. Whatever gets you back from the 400 meter run with around 30 seconds is probably going to give

athletes the best opportunity to accumulate jerks is if you if you blow out a little faster than that maybe a little flat faster if you're running i think a 550 pace that's 10 seconds for transitions in the shuttle and i'm going to assume it's like on the field and so they're doing 50 meters down and back or 50 yards sideline to sideline so that's not that many stop and starts but if you get back to the jerks throttled you're not going to be good for more than a couple and i think you'd like to get back to the bar with 30 to 40 seconds and hit one every five to six seconds and we'll go i think 300 pounds is heavy for ricky yeah but he's such a good runner that is yeah i agree he's gonna get back with less fatigue than some other athletes

and i think you just have to carry that same pace as the workout goes. So you get back to the 300 or you get back from the 600 meter run again, 30 to 40 seconds and same thing, maybe close to a minute with the 400 run. But at that point in the workout, maybe close to 40 seconds and singles probably the whole way. I wouldn't, I wouldn't fuck around with re-racking at this weight. And with that level of fatigue, I would just do a single drop it, re-rack it,

single drop it, re-rack it. Hey, you know, if Adrian comes on like every night, what would be really cool? Like when we kind of talk about a recap of all the events, ask him who the testing athlete was and how they did on that comparatively to

the field. I think it would be cool. I wonder if that's data he'll give away. Cause some of that stuff they just keep in that little black book and don't fucking tell a soul and what i would also say is yeah what do you think sebon i it's either way it's a great it's a great question it's a good question i i never know how like it depends like sometimes maybe dave would have answered that sometimes not it kind of also depended on his mood that's exactly how dave would come on too just in his room while he ramps he forgot something he ran would run upstairs or he'd be in his bed eating his meal before he turned off the lights so that

was cool that he did that i think hey that is unique to this fucking sport what you saw right there is like some hardcore this is why we are better than other sports because we are more real that's it that's as fucking real as you get that dude probably was downstairs testing something had to run upstairs and get a different stopwatch or it rained on him and he's changing his clothes or he's just eating something then he's running fucking back stack downstairs to work with the big dogs i'm telling you those are the kind of things that make this thing so unique and of course i'm biased to it because he came on this show but um yeah stoked would you change the male female interval length to level it out no not on a run hey really not you need a job here i can't believe jr fucking taylor hasn't

brought this up yet what do you it's because it's a run it's i mean i don't want to call our question stupid but if you have a 400 that's why you're not on this show sorry liz's question is not dumb good questions the other thing about singles that if you're an athlete competing that i would consider is when you take a barbell from the blocks you get a little bit of whip on the bar before you jerk it and so if you're doing singles, you do have to stand the bar up before jerking it. Every time you take the bar from the blocks, but you also get that little bit of whip to help jerk the bar overhead.

So I, I really do think most of the athletes are going to be doing singles and we'll see tomorrow if I'm just full of shit or not, but. Um, this is a picture. It looks like from one of the areas where people are going to be working out uh it looks like the jerk box covered okay okay so they are right there yeah which makes sense

because when i snapped those photos off during the um press orientation i was wondering why they had them covered and now that makes sense look james townsend called me a legend yeah yeah that's pretty cool i don't think he's talking about me no i don't think That makes sense. Look, James Townsend called me a legend. Yeah. That's pretty cool. I don't think he's talking about me. No, I don't think he is either. James, someone's got to work. Someone's got to work. You are working with the great Tudor Magda, the future of the sport,

and I got to work here telling stories and dirty jokes. But thank you. I'd like to meet and hang out too. Justin James, new CEO. Yes. We talked about at the beginning of the show, don't know much about him. I'm curious, just in a nutshell, very quickly, I don't think that's the kind of thing you announced during the middle of the week. I excited that he was uh in the u.s military fighting for our freedoms i'm concerned that he worked at facebook which is one of the worst organizations on the planet in terms of censorship um so you know we shall see i don't really give a fuck what his fran time is or how tight of a t-shirt he can wear in his profile pic um so there uh i will tell you this the media we are seeing in the first in the build-up to this event is extremely disappointing no it's not look at us you could go you could watch the

fucking worst ufc card ever and there's 10 times the amount of media building up to what is the super bowl for the crossfit games it is a joke go to youtube and type in crossfit you're stuck with the vapid craig richie or the foul mouth seba mitosian and that's it yeah i mean it is a uh it's it's a it's a mess crossfit inc hasn't crossfit inc hasn't put out anything they put out a two-minute video about the games. Okay, Lynn Mark, hi, how are you? You're not a woman, are you? I'm doing, no, I'm not a woman.

Damn, okay. Thank you for having me on. I'm doing good. I'm so excited. Oh, shit, we got Theo Vaughn on the show. I knew it was only a matter of time. How are you, brother? I'm not from Louisiana.

I'm from Mississippi. Right, that's what I said said But I'm glad you had Amanda Barnhart on it was so cool to hear She was really cool I'm glad you had someone on like that Get to know her better Amazing misconception about her I thought she was going to be quiet

And uptight And nothing like that And the reason why Was because when you see her on the field, she is so stoic. Her game face is legit. And, man, she's cool. She's cool.

She's a real one. And then also that dude came on here talking trash about how he can't go into the dark place. That fires me up. That's the bald dude, Taylor Self. Yeah, he's part of the show. I didn't say that shit. Oh, who said it?

He doesn't know where the dark place is, right? Well, he does. When the pig fell on him when he was testing workouts in Aromas. You guys are talking about the wrong person. Who said it? Who was talking about the dark place? The caller. It was the call-in.

Oh, okay. All right. I'll let Taylor off the hook. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. But anyways, yeah. the uh the caller it was a call in oh okay all right i'll let taylor off the hook yeah yeah yeah but anyways yeah i was just i was just calling in talk trash is uh has he been to the dark place you know amanda i was just very impressed with her yeah there is no dark place with amanda there's light everywhere around her it's not her fault so cool thanks for that okay yeah thank you for going have your wife call next time. Thank you. Okay. Uh,

so I feel I'm playing with my dental floss, the whole show. It's an hour. People were really bummed that Brian ate that hamburger on the show. And here I am playing with my dental floss. Brian was eating a cheeseburger or a hamburger. I hate when people call it a hamburger. What do you,

what do you think it should be called? Is it fucking ham? Look at that, dude dude look at that reaction that's my favorite sebon reaction wow so shit i i'm i'm wow it's like people fucking up the word gender it's worse than that because i'm just straight lying lying liar so just burger cow burger that's good. Beef burger. Burger, burger. Okay. Thank you for the course correction. Sorry. Sorry? Are you kidding me? Oh, just because I had to show some humility in front of our 12 viewers.

Damn. It's from Hamburg, Germany. Is that true? Is that really true? I'll fuck Taylor up. If that's true, I win. Dude, don't let that be true. Hold on. Don't let that be true. Who's the audience. Don't let that be true.

Who's fact-checking that? What did you say, JR? Oh, shit. I believe it's true. Oh, shit. Fuck. Yeah, Taylor. I'm retarded then.

Well, the hamburger first appeared in the 19th or early 20th century. Considerable evidence suggests that either the United States or Germany, the city of Hamburg, was the first country where two slices of bread and ground beef steak were combined into a hamburger sandwich okay just learning everything on this show where does tube steak come from uh this guy right here uh sauteing the old tube steak um so it's kind of interesting that this guy's posting right here this guy uh big and flexi he is a member at a uh well-known prestigious gym who's uh uh crossfit krypton ben smith's gym and he hey dude you you should fucking um, that guy, the CEO works at, um, uh, Mr. Fowl lives at, um, work used to work at Facebook and he's got a bunch of people there.

Maybe you should take, take up with him. What happened to you? This guy put, this guy lost a fucking hundred pounds, maybe more and put up a bunch of weight loss photos on Facebook. And they said it was like fat shaming and he couldn't do it. What? Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. Crazy. Crazy. god damn it what if don brings that shit here you're not allowed to say that eating sugar is bad oh oh how about that offensive some people who work at pepsi cola are offended when you tell them that pepsi causes type 2 diabetes and therefore you cannot say it how about that fitness fitness and 80-ish words you and Hiller brought up? I freaked out when I realized that came from that place in Charlotte. That lady is – yeah, that lady is crazy. I don't even know if we should give her – she's crazy. Yeah, we won't say anything about it.

There's a point – well, there's so much crazy in the world. Okay, Big and Flexy, speaking of foul mouth, Laura Horvath's latest IG post. She's taking it all this year. I looked so dumb saying hamburger. I don't know. I still like it. You did. It's great.

It actually means foot in her language or running. But in her language, if you put E at the end, it's supposed to be cute, I guess. Cute running. If you get her on the show, you could probably ask her.

Hey, the last time I texted her, she said, how'd you get this number? And like, yeah, I just felt like I just put my tail between my legs. That's why people don't give you your number. I think one day you're going to text her and she's going to have a man answer and be like, how'd you get my girl's number? Yeah, you know what? You know what I need to do? You know what I should have done tonight? I should have had Christoph

It's not sitting well with him.

How's that be? That's true, right? Taylor? Maybe to some degree. Yeah. Knee's good. Knee's good? Coming along great.

What the fuck are you talking about? Look like. And I saw another one saying my eyes always look like this. JR, have you been to the games ever?

Shut up. What? He has. He's a games athlete. Oh, that's right. I've seen pictures of you there. JR, have you ever gone to the games as a fan? Yes.

Did you like it? Oh, yeah. That's sick. I went in 2019, actually, when there were a million competitors. Okay. I just couldn't. I could never go there. I have no desire to go there unless I was working. I would be going nuts right now if I was there. It's fun, man. If you go with... We didn't stay super close to the venue. We probably stayed 20 minutes away. We went and worked out every day before we went to watch workouts and

then at night we just find a good place to eat downtown i mean it's it's fun the farmer's almanac said hillar's brows will let us know if we have a bad winter what about the groundhog the groundhog anything to say about that that's funny, what do you think about this guy's avatar? I trip on it so hard. What about it? It's seductive, all right? It's like a model picture. It's provocative. You wouldn't understand.

You paid good money for those headshots, okay? Yeah. JR, we're shirtless then. He's boring. Did you walk around the game shirtless, JR? No, I did not. JR is freaking jacked. JR's got some big shoulders.

That's an optical illusion. I'm actually quite petite. How much do you weigh, JR? 185. How tall are you? Six foot. Oh, shit. Okay, that's good.

Yeah, he's jacked. He walks like he's running from the fucking cops he has one speed when he walks too he doesn't use his heels he's like a fucking he's like a raptor he's just moving when i first had surgery dude when we were in uh knoxville for the mac I just fucked my knee up, and we were walking from venue to venue, and he re-fucked my knee up trying to keep up with him. Hey. Dickhead. I want to see if – God, you know what that reminds me of?

Does he look like one of those Jesus lizards that – Jesus lizards. He looks like Chris Henshaw. You ever see Chris Henshaw walk? He walks like a velociraptor. JR walks like he's faster than anyone in the games, and he's a good runner. Are your calves jacked?

Do you have super jacked calves, JR? Sometimes. Taylor? He has good calves, but I have great calves, and it's all general. That's true. My calves are huge. Look at this. this is jr right

here i hope this doesn't stutter this is so good hey when i was in belize i caught one of these links wait till you wait till you see this thing don't look at my hey don't look at my links dude just blow the screen up and we can't see it okay here we go yeah don't look at my links, dude. Just blow the screen up. We can't see it. Okay, here we go. Yeah, don't look at my fucking links, Taylor. Don't let your eyebrows look at my links. Okay, here we go.
