Keeping that, uh, keeping the beautification filter on, on max.
I just, uh, I just worked out.
We're live.
So, Hey, Jeff, Jeff, back down to 500 bucks.
Yeah, we fucking get it, dude.
I suck.
Thanks bro.
Fucking collegiate, collegiate, whatever you want to call it, dude.
However, that's how you say collegiate. If you've never call it, dude. How I call it, Collegiate.
Yeah, dude, that's how you say collegiate.
If you've never been to college, you say collegiate.
So this fucking collegiate guy from the Navy Swam at Navy fucking beats me.
Whatever, dude.
Sean Sweeney didn't beat me.
Loser. How about this?
How about this, Jeff? How about be positive?
How about we gave some
poor broke douche canoe three grand for five minutes of work, bro? How about we be positive?
How about, Hey, Mathias needed this, needed a hand. He was in need. He's a needy guy.
We gave him three K now. Hey, Mathias, I'll then make you that hundred for the crash.
See you crash crucible shot out. I appreciate it. Thank you
Um, I didn't tell him to work out ahead of time doors
He's a great dude. I know you didn't tell him to work out ahead of time. He fucked a fucker swam at Navy
What am I gonna do dude? But he was he was he was very smooth under fatigue. I was not I was
You were
Seven while you were I think it it was during the third swim,
Seven was like, look how low his hips are in the water.
I don't even swim when I know that's bad.
Dude, that was the hardest, that was the most I've ever heard in the water.
So, um, that's cool though.
I mean, that's awesome.
And what I think is cool from a programming standpoint is, I mean, and
we can be truthful about this and we talked about it.
We were like, yeah, if you make it 90 burpees in a 50 yard swim like you're definitely
Helping yourself because it makes the swim matter less and what do we see?
We see a guy who goes slower on the burpees and makes the heat me matter more which is yeah
That just shows you how balanced the workout actually was
Hey Richard, I'm gonna fucking drown you in my semen wrong show for that dude. Don't take me there
Don't take me out of my lane. This is supposed to be a tame show
What did I tell everyone in the comments earlier? I said
Taylor will pull up way more comments that showed up in scribble at 4 p.m
Eastern and he'll have all kind responses to them
Have a workout for you to do and I rarely tell you to do any workouts
But this is one that would be that would be cool for you to do and I rarely tell you to do any workouts, but this is one that would be That would be cool for you to do
500 meter ski seven rope climb 500 5500 3
Okay, what is it? Sorry
There's three rounds the rope the rope climbs go five three. The ski goes five hundred five hundred five hundred
And the rope climbs are touch and go to a
six foot line so
Descend to the tape back up descend back up descend back up and it's biathlon
It's muscle biathlon style. So if you break you have a 250 meter penalty regular rope climb correct
regular so for you it would be unbroken just how hard you can ski and still go
unbroken I think um so 15 rope climbs and 1500 meters ski if you don't if you
don't get if you don't take any penalties and your feet can't touch the ground correct okay all right I'll do it it's five hundred and seven five hundred
five five hundred three mm-hmm coffee all right yeah I'll do it um Magnus
Holmgren I only came here because I'm a bald piece of shit and I just wanted to
talk shit to Taylor well came to the right place, bro Richard Margerin
Why don't you put oh look at that
Trump's spongebob Trump profile pic crazy ah
Hey, you don't even speak English bro, shut up
Wow so crazy dude, I
I'm pleased that no one else beat me, but how crazy is it that
we just gave away $3,000?
It's really, really cool, man. It's, it's, uh, dude, people were texting me that like,
I never would have thought even watched the show that are like coaches like very high-level coaches
That like have swimming backgrounds and like people were texting me just like hey, how does this work?
Like I really want to call in and do it
Can I can I video it and I'm just like no you have to do it laughs
They can make fun of you like it's really cool
How much is spreading to people who don't wouldn't normally watch it?
Well, that's how you know, they don really watch it though, because they are asking you, how do I sign up? Listen, you sign up by watching the fucking show
and calling in. And if you didn't get a link and you called in, shit out of luck. That's how the
show works. We're not DEI. You gotta be quick. You gotta be quick. You gotta be Johnny on the spot.
And you gotta be lucky because when 35 people call in, we only have time for what?
Because when 35 people call in, we only have time for what?
You know, five, six, seven people. So, um, did Sean, did Sean's, uh, internet ever start working again?
No, it didn't, but he was way off pace after the first round.
He was like 15, 10 seconds behind me and he wasn't speeding up.
His swimming looked like mine.
I got out of the car, like as his screen froze and I was wondering
if he came back in or not.
Damn dude. I was 10 seconds, but You know what, dude, I should have,
I wonder if I would have done a lot better if I did my Burby slower and just,
I think the, I think the round of 42, I think 30 is going to hurt regardless.
And 18, you know, you're almost done,
but I think if you'd have done the 42 a little slower,
you probably could have gone faster.
Cause I can swim like my PR 50 yard swim is like 29 seconds what I can swim
50s on the minute repeatably is like 34 seconds that was like a 55 second 50 I swam that so slow
but uh when uh when Bryson said first time no flip turn he's hurting I was like so it was really
good commentary because I mean I saw that you didn't flip turn but I was like, first time no flip turn, he's hurting. I was like, it was really good commentary.
Cause I mean, I saw that you didn't flip turn,
but I was like, oh, he just wanted to get a bigger breath.
And it's like, no.
I was burning, yeah.
I don't think he's ever seen me not flip turn.
That being said, that's the eighth time I've swam in two years.
So I should probably have been smart with my programming,
but I, you know, I was,
it was originally going to be an even more of a swim workout.
And I was like, nope, gotta be heavy on the burpee.
And then I was like, man, should it be 50 35 20?
Do you think I would have do you think I would have still you think i'd have been able to make
No, I don't I don't think it would have mattered. I think you I think you would have buried yourself even more
Like if you would have done that. Yeah
Okay, austin listen, maybe I am a freshman in high school you freaking wiener sucker what um, what were
like And maybe I am a freshman in high school, you freaking wiener sucker. What were like cumulative time in the water? How much faster was Matthias?
Do you know what?
Oh, had to have been like 30 seconds at least.
Wow.
Yeah, that's crazy.
I would say, um, let's see, I'm going to this.
Okay.
Awesome.
So today we got Q and A's.
I'm really surprised there hasn't been another announcement.
Hey, and how do you, how do you know I'm not doing swimming this year for Crucible?
I guess I don't, but if you do do swimming and you do it with anything other than a burpee,
I'm going to give Matthias the dick hog. After that, after that, dude, listen, Matthias,
I'm buying a swimming coach. I'm coming for you, bro.
And it's you, it's you, Matthias. He's hiring you. You're the one.
You're the guy. He's going to be like, Hey, seriously, dude, can you can I see you
some videos?
Holy shit. Fuck me. That was funny.
I'll give you a free month.
Yeah, this is the this is also the greatest thing. Like, you know, all these
games athletes, ooh, swimming, I'm going I go to fuck him up today. And they see
the workout and they're like no
I'm not doing that. Yeah, our pussies. What nationality was that just then that you were imitating? I just like Eastern European
I would say
So are you not surprised that there hasn't been another announced event?
Yeah, I'm surprised there hasn't at least been like a
Couple crumbs of an event, you know, like something
like a like a picture of
Some weird thing that's never been used or I don't know just something cryptic. Yeah, I'm surprised there hasn't been something
But I would think I would think this weekend there's gonna be something that comes out
You're gonna have to fill me in I'll be
In Taylor, South Carolina doing my level two this weekend.
You're getting here.
Oh, yeah.
The, um, individual event six just announced.
Yeah.
Are you serious, dude?
Is that real?
What am I just seeing us?
What?
I haven't had my phone in the last few hours.
I'm a hundred percent serious.
Individual event six just announced.
I'm not kidding.
I'll pull it up.
Shut up.
Don't ask me if I'm being serious.
I don't fucking.
Who are you telling to shut up me?
Yeah.
You said, am I being serious?
I was asking you a question.
Okay.
Whoa.
This is zoomed in way, way, way, way zoomed.
Um, okay. What question were you asking me real quick?
I'm gonna flip you for a second
I'm gonna disappear Wow
This is is so far.
Jer, you there?
Jer.
I don't know where JR is.
JR.
Alright, can you see me now? I can hear. Yeah, I'm good. So here's what we got.
Field sprint, then rest, then 1600 meter run. Holy moly. So that's like, or Chad, that's
right before Chad. Wait, huh? No, that is event seven.
Well, yeah.
But it's the night before, dude.
The night before you think they're going to do the night.
They're going to do it on Saturday morning.
Right.
Yeah.
That's what I'm saying.
This is the, this is the Friday night lights.
That's, oh, you think it's just, you think it's just going to be like, uh,
like a hundred yard, a hundred yard dash just sprint the field.
Oh man. Ripped Tammies. be like a like 100 yard 100 yard dash just sprint the field man ripped hammies I think I think some kind of like suicide or down and back would be a little better but for
the race definitely a straight line would be would be cool let's also take a deep dive
real quick you guys bringing you something special here I don't know
how I zoomed in before anyways if you can see this comment right here this
comment right here you see my little mouse oh boy I'm gonna highlight for
you guys all right this uh this page goes by the name of oh wow you can't see
the highlight that's whack this page goes by the name of, oh wow, you can't see the highlight. That's whack. This page goes by the name of Mike Halpin, known, known, knowable. And his comment is, so run slash
swim on Thursday, then run slash run on Friday. Love it. Hey, Mike, if you're being facetious,
if you're being a little butthole, just, you know what would serve you well in life, maybe
shutting the fuck up once what if your life what if it's a what if it's a
sprint carry what if it's a sprint sled it just has field sprint so I think it's
gonna be like a hundred yard sprint you think so yeah how many other times you
think they gonna run the games well that's no, I think this is it. You think they're not
gonna run anymore? Run swim and just this? Oh, not in a workout. They're not gonna
run in a fucking workout, bro. Yeah, I guess that would cover. I don't. Yeah. I
mean, I guess maybe like something like 400s and a workout. They could figure
out a way to do it in Dickies, I guess. I don't know. John Young, did he really say there would never be a 1600 meter run?
He did. He did.
Ha, John Young, fuck you.
No, no, no, no, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
I'll actually defend, I'll actually defend John.
And I think he did say they'll never be like a mile for time
because that's an actual race,
but the Olympics is actually not that, right? Isn't it a, don't they run a 2k? I think he said something like it'll be a 2k
because they actually do a 1600 in track or he said something along those lines. So he,
I get the point he was making. And I agree that Dave typically doesn't use distances that are
already used in actual track
But this would be one of those times where he did
What does this say Friday night 8 p.m. Central and doing it after a rest is not the same as just going out and running
a 1600 meter so
Clearly it's a they do something. There's a short rest and they run a mile time trial. You know what I mean?
Yeah.
Field sprint.
I don't know.
I don't think we should just eliminate the idea that, um, it's not something
with a weightlifting movement and that it's just running.
I mean, it could be, but I don't know.
We'll see.
I would like to see another implement.
That'd be cool, but I would also be okay with just like a hundred yard sprint rest into a
16, I mean run dude, the miles is straight carnage.
I'm so, oh, I cannot wait.
I wonder if they run it around the track.
You just think that's what they're going to do a hundred percent, right?
Four, 400s.
Yeah, definitely for the, for the mile.
Yeah.
I mean, I would, geez, I would hope it's not going to be shuttle runs on the field.
Yeah. Oh, probably for definitely going to use the track. I just,
I do wonder if this is like a 50 yard back, a hundred yard back. Is it just a hundred straight?
Is it like a one 20 and they're going to use the end zones too? Like, you know,
what it would, what's the sprint going to be? Do you think we see a sub five mile?
No. Really? Do you think you? Do you think we see a sub five mile? No.
Really?
Do you think you see, you think you see a sub?
Let me take that back.
If someone, if depending on how this is scored, cause this just says event six.
So is it going, could it be something like this?
If the each, there's a mandatory rest for every person, but you start staggered based on when you finish the sprint.
Or is it just going to be you do the first part and then at the 10 minute mark, everyone starts together on the mile and they're going to factor it in with total time.
Like they're going to add your sprint time to your mile time.
Like, who knows how it's going to be scored.
Yeah, that's interesting.
I would imagine that it's everyone starts the field sprint at the same time.
Everyone starts the run at the same time, the 1600 meter.
And you think maybe they just add the times or do you think what the
sprint is 50 and the miles 50?
That's a great question.
If they just add the times, the field sprint doesn't matter.
It really doesn't at all.
So I would imagine each is 50.
Yeah.
And that makes you wonder too, like, you know, in there, there needs to be a couple
events out of 12 or 13 where seconds do matter because it's a, it's a sport of
seconds matter, so will there be separations of hundreds of a second? Probably so. And that's
sport. So, you know, that's, uh, I don't know. I think there are a lot of people that are like,
Hey, when, when workouts like that are so close that it doesn't really show much of a separation
of fitness, but there's entire Olympic sports that are based on hundreds of seconds. So what's your what's your fastest Nancy time?
Mine. Yeah. Oh man, I
Have no clue the closest thing I've done recently to a Nancy is the workout that I did that you ran the class in Miami
And that was with toast bar
My best Nancy time ever is 959 and that was that was maybe
2019 Uh, my best Nancy time ever is nine 59 and that was, that was maybe 2019.
I haven't done it since I had it.
It was today. I just didn't do it.
I don't do anything before it killed Taylor anymore for most of the time.
Uh, Bryson did it though.
He did 10 26, which was flying.
I thought on our way.
Yeah.
He's got really, he's got really good overhead positioning and stuff too.
He's such a good squatter.
Yeah.
And a good runner too.
But, um, man, I love the 1600 meter run as a workout.
We were just talking about, I wonder why other events hadn't been announced.
This one drops.
Wow.
That's pretty cool.
Eight minutes ago.
So sick.
I like it.
Uh, the one thing I hope is that there is something like an event five prior to
this, where they get to watch some
CrossFit in the stadium like I hope it's I hope new people that come get to watch some like CrossFit.
I don't want to just see and hey to that note maybe you're right maybe the field sprint is
something other than just 100 meter run we have no idea I have no idea um this is um
100 meter run. We have no idea. I have no idea. Um, this is, um, John Young did not do John Young. Couldn't do Nancy in 15 minutes. This is on what? Let's see what my Garmin
track that I was going to say. This is more like, this is more spins alley. He usually
knows all these kinds of facts, but I wanna say the window of time
that they're gonna be doing the Friday Night Lights
is two hours.
That's like the time slot.
And this, especially if they did like two heats of men,
two heats of women.
I mean, let's just say the sprint is a true,
like, you know, sub 30 second effort.
So you're looking at like, you can run,
you can do heats every 10 minutes.
That's only like 40 minutes to get this done
with both sexes.
So I mean, they could definitely do something,
rest 30 or 40 minutes and then do this or vice versa.
I can't hear you. Where'd you go?
Sorry everyone, if you can hear me and not Taylor.
I can't hear him at all. I still can't hear him.
Yep. Yep. You're good. Yep.
Can you hear me? Yep. Okay. I can't hear you. One sec. Yup. Okay. Got you.
Awesome. Wow. Whoops. Um, it's taken me a while to get to this point, but I'm not that bummed that I lost. I'm a little bummed.
Obviously you like to see the streak go.
Like see the streak stay alive.
Um,
you put a really good streak together.
I think it's the streak you've been hoping for since we started it.
Like,
I think initial hopes of like a five to 10 K streak or like why it was the
underestimated of how hard or easy that was going to be.
I'm really stoked that my time is getting strand that's fucking crazy.
Guys five minutes of work three thousand dollars that's insane.
Do it but damn dude and I'm still learning I think uh
Do it damn dude, and I'm still learning I think
Is that my nipple are you talking about?
Thank you talking I'm listening. Hey keep talking with them on my phone. I respond to a text from like so uh
You know you got to be super fit to do it. I'm learning my mic is Matt jacked? Ah, fuck me!
One second. Is my mic any better people in the comments?
Better now?
Better now?
Let me know.
Let me know.
I don't know where JR went.
Anyways, you know, I was hoping obviously to stay alive this week.
I'm learning a little bit as we go.
Clearly not on par swimming with, uh, Colleen, but maybe something.
Fuck you, Mathias.
Um, and I probably don't have much more than that to say.
Yeah.
Hey, losing, but, uh, next week I'm going to put this one on the pitch, this one right back to.
Next week I'm going to put this one on the clips. This one right back to wall.
Dude, you know what? I haven't been doing anything that I'm good at. I haven't other than running, I guess. I have not been doing any muscle ups. So I'm not doing any muscle ups next week. Dick
butter. That doesn't matter though. That doesn't you lost lost bro. No it matters. I literally have not been doing them.
I don't think it matters in a workout with enough volume to matter. Like if you're doing a sprint where there's only like 20 then maybe it does but I would argue like if you did something like
if you did 50 ghd 25 muscle up 50 ghd that's not gonna matter. You're too good at both for you not doing a lot of muscle ups
to really like hold you back in a workout like that,
I don't think.
Yeah.
Keeping it real, yes, yes, yes, yes.
I think that guy might've been the only man to beat Taylor.
Yes, he was the only guy to beat me, cross fat.
Shut the fuck up.
That was too much true swimming for your fitness to be honest. Ah
Can't see you get in the pool pussy anyways
Field sprint Wow, I wonder what the fastest time is gonna be dude you are you keep going you keep going haywire
I just tried just dropped my phone
I'm sorry. All right, so
Also what we're about to do right now over the next three minutes is we're gonna hammer out a time during the week that we
Don't ever miss and that we're going to stick to
I've got like I like the 4 p.m. Friday. I'll go ahead and say that on here. Are you gonna always do it from your car?
It's possible depends on if I have to coach or not.
Or if I'm doing a training camp, which is kind of what I've been doing all week long.
You've been doing a training camp?
Well, I've just been helping Jason and Brooke out because she's been here all week.
Oh, she's still here?
She got here Sunday and I think she's staying through next week, middle of the week.
So she has like 10 days.
Okay.
Well, yeah, ideally we do at a time where you're not in the car and you could use
your computer and your actual mic.
What are you trying to say?
I sound bad.
No, I'm just trying to say that.
Yeah.
I am a little butt hurt right now.
I'm confused.
You're trying to make me insecure?
Yeah, I didn't get invited to the little fucking camp,
the little fucking cool kids camp.
The doors are always open, you know that.
No, they're not, no they're not, it's all good.
Hey, did they both get their fudge packed
on that ski rope climb workout?
Is that why you want me to do it?
No, no, no, no, no, they did not.
But they've done a lot of really, they've done a lot of good workouts. They've had a lot of races
within like 10 seconds, which is really cool because it is difficult at the highest level to
write workouts that are going to affect males and females the same way. And it is hard not to give a little bit of an edge
to one or the other.
So yeah, they've had like,
from two weeks ago when she came and this week,
they've had like five or six workouts
that have all been within like 10 seconds of each other.
And these are all workouts that are like 10 plus minutes
or eight plus minutes.
They're not like short sprints., um, it's been, it's been really cool to watch
both of them and how they do things, how they do things differently, how they
do some things the same it's been, uh, it's been good just from like, almost
like a research standpoint, so
what's the coolest workout they've done.
Can you drop one?
Um, yeah. Oh yeah.
I mean, I don't care.
Um, I mean, people who have, if you watch the YouTube video, you've
pretty much seen seven of them.
Um, I don't think they wrote any of the workouts out on that vlog, but
some of the combinations are there.
Maybe the best one they've done this time, uh, this week on Monday, they did, uh, five rounds for time, 21 pullups, 15 Cal echo, nine dumbbell thrusters at 70 and 50.
So just disgusting.
And they were within 10 seconds of each other on that workout, which is really, really cool.
How many echo calories did she do?
12.
Okay.
So have they done a single, have they done a single HMPO workout?
Yeah. So like Jake, no, they haven't.
No, they have, they have all the workouts that I've written. Jake has like basically said like,
like on that workout, he put, um, include regular pull ups and dumbbell thrusters 10 to 15 minutes, and then I wrote it. And then like, another workout that they did was like, bar muscle ups and ring muscle ups in the same workout. And then I would and then I wrote something.. So like it's, uh, yeah, it's definitely like, uh, in an outline form. And then I kind of get the
freedom to just like use whatever implements I have here and, you know, make stuff up, which is fun.
Cool. Cool. Cool. What do you think each of them place at the games?
Oh dude, I would bet I would bet.
I would bet the gym on both of them finishing top 10.
Like, that's not that's not a question to me, but I would I would.
And that's I mean, a lot of people are going to say it's just proximity bias.
But how fit I know, especially Jason has been all year, like since the open
through quarters at semis and
Obviously seeing him five days a week from what November to now?
And then seeing Brooke as much as I've seen her train against Jason head-to-head
Yeah, dude, I'm I would be super confident saying that and I would say for both of them it's closer to five than it is
Interesting I would say for both of them, it's closer to five than it is 10. Interesting.
So we know Danny Spiegel's getting
cut with all this running on the first two days.
Dude, I think this is kind of exciting from a programming
standpoint.
I would expect we see some sort of possibly single modality
gymnastics and then some really, really, really heavy tests.
With all the monostructural that we've seen.
It's been crazy. It's been all monostructural so far. And then Chad, which I know we can go
back and forth about, but Chad is not like any classic CrossFit, classic weightlifting,
or gymnastics workout. Chad is a... Chad, I would categorize in its own category,
and it is entirely psychological tolerance.
And if you're taller, you have a big advantage period.
Yeah.
So it's going to be really cool.
Yeah.
I'm sure Dave is like, Hey, this is the aura.
I want you to release them in.
Um, because that does add a lot to it.
If you release run swim, and then you release, uh, the other total, and then you release the other total and then you release 30
parallel handstand push-ups for time then then everyone's like oh yeah look
at this great balance everything's balanced but now that they've really
skewed to one side of the events that have announced it's gonna be pretty cool
because I'm sure there will be some new ish or new to the games movements that will come out
that will catch some people off guard.
Like a lot of the stuff that's come out, it's not that advantageous to do ahead of time
because everyone can do it ahead of time.
You know what I'm saying?
And that's been an area of concern for a lot of people that certain people have access
to information before others so they get the
right equipment in their hands before they show up to the games and it's obvious that
they've had more time to prepare than others and with these events coming out I mean no
one's no one's got any kind of advantage right now unless you're a good runner that's true
master who do you think who do you think's last after day one after these in the men's lesser, a good runner. That's true. Massage.
Who do you think, who do you think's last after day one, after these in the men's field and women's field?
Oh gosh.
After, sorry, not after day one, after these, these events.
So like, so like if you put all these events as events, one, two, and three,
who would be Chad run swim this workout.
I got Spiegel last
Chad runs when this workout.
I got Spiegel last Spiegel last and maybe like, I'm trying to think, is there a, I mean, is there a weightlifting like specialists in the men's field that
you would, you would just call a weightlifting specialist?
I don't know.
Yeah, but yeah, but I think he's a good swimmer.
Like I think his, I think his, uh, like base aerobic capacity, which I would say is a lot of
these. I mean, except for Chad, maybe just being a grit, I would
say his that base capacity doesn't worry me at all. And it
worked out like that. What I was really interested to see from
Guy, do you remember that road chipper that they did that had
the feed sack step ups and the muscle ups and the handstand push ups in the row. I want to see like a 24.2, like 15 to 20 minute that kind of like CrossFit test
because I think that's, you know, that kind of capacity is very different than just having
all monostructural stuff. So far, these workouts have been incredibly simple.
And to me, it's like, there's no out running what it's going to take to
win the event or to make it past the cut.
It's do you have, gosh, do you have the guts to just fucking hurt?
I mean, you obviously have some swimming skill, but on Chad, the mile and the.
Damn dude, it's straightforward.
Ooh,
it's pretty cool that, um,
this girl's on steroids, a hundred percent Panera.
I'll say it.
It's pretty cool that, uh, what he said in Knoxville when you were competing
about being really excited about the games and getting back to their roots
from a programming standpoint and like making it
Old school is the easy way to say it I mean very true very true to that so far
but I did hear a games athlete tell me one time and it was one of my favorite quotes I've ever heard was last year when
a lot of the
Helen type stuff was coming out. They said I
Don't come to the games to do the classics
And I will not say who it was, but it was an awesome quote
I don't go to the games to do the classics to do benchmarks, which
from a get from a games athlete standpoint is
That's a reasonable argument so I'm gonna show you guys a picture
That's a reasonable argument. So I'm going to show you guys a picture.
What the fuck?
Okay, let me show you one more picture after this.
So just take a look at this, guys.
This is what is she 43 years old?
I want to.
That's what I want my absolute like at 43.
I only have like to lose 5% more body fat.
Yeah.
So I'm pretty sure.
Can anybody get an age check on this lady?
Uh, 43 years old, apparently.
Um, just give me a second.
I'm just pulling, trying to pull something up.
Give me one minute.
43 years old, she says.
And, uh, and, uh, you can look like that too at 43
as long as you start taking
ancestral supplements.
Jeez, Louise, man, look at them.
They are identical.
Look at this guy's apps.
Look at those
apps okay now come on what's the difference here what's the difference
there is no difference and let me explain you why there's no difference
they're both on performance enhancing drugs sorry, I just had to do this and
Call a fucking spade a spade
Unbelievable somebody she's the waste
Goodness, hey, what do you where do you?
fall and like the
I was in a professional bodybuilding when I was in my early 20s. Like I got into that, I took stuff and I found CrossFit at like 25 years old.
You know, they're illegal in CrossFit.
I started training for CrossFit and when I was 28, 29, I made the games.
Like, do you just think that that person should just say, well,
I've taken performance enhancing drugs in my past, even though I had no intentions on competing in a sport that didn't allow it.
You just think that person should never compete like, cause I mean, I, I think a
lot of people, especially aesthetically, if they continue to train, they're going
to hold onto that physique.
She, uh, let, let's just say this.
She didn't take it a long time ago and then start doing CrossFit
She's on the fucking full juice. She's on the juicy juice. She is on the juice box 100% and
I don't know my opinion on that is if you're a fucking cheater
That's that that's it. You're a cheater doesn't matter that is is that cheating if you took it and if I murdered a guy 10 years ago?
Is that just the fact that I fucking kill someone?
Are you still a murderer is what you're saying?
Yeah. Fuck yeah. You're a murderer. You're still a fucking cheater.
That's the thing. This is crazy.
This is an important question in the chat.
Where did this go?
Here we go. Kipping it real. Taylor, did they actually important question in the chat. Where did this go? Ah, here we go.
Kipping it real.
Taylor, did they actually look at your dick
when you got tested?
The guy actually put his mouth on it,
which was super weird.
I didn't know that they needed to do that
to get a drug test on oral sample, but apparently.
I don't know why you would ever want to,
and I don't even know why the three people
at the bottom of the screen are there.
But if you want to, for some reason, sponsor our show and these, uh, this
marching band to nowhere, this, this, uh, I don't know what we are.
Um, hit us up.
We'd, we'd love to, we'd love to work with other, other people.
Uh, this is a good question.
So does that mean Ricky should not be allowed to compete?
No, he served his band.
If you are a fucking murderer and you go to jail and you serve your fucking sentence
Most of the time that's life good for you
You serve in your sentence
If you do manslaughter and you get like a 25 year sentence and you serve it and you get out and you're reformed great
Uh, i'm not the arbiter of how to correct that but it's not like ricky committed some fucking crazy crime
He broke the rules. They had a set ban in place. He served it and he's back. To me, that's doing the right thing. He did the right
thing. He atoned for it. He made amends to it. He told people he wished he wouldn't have
done it. He apologized, whatever. I think how he really made amends to it is to all
of our knowledge, he stopped using performance enhancing drugs and he did it the right way
and he came back. That's making immense. Um,
so do you have to be caught and punished and come back for you to say that you're
okay?
Like you can't, you can't use performance enhancing drugs and then stop using them
and not use them and make the games and be okay in your,
that girl, that girl's body is not a body of someone who stopped using them and
just kept doing
it wrong.
I'm not asking about her.
I'm just asking in general because I think there are probably males and females whose
physiques look like they're not natural, but because of whatever they did previously before
they started competing in CrossFit, they looked that way.
As long as it's four years after, then I don't care.
If they've used it within the past four years.
So four years is your number?
That's an arbitrary number, but it's the band number. Very. That's what I go by. Okay. that in 2022 was it? Yeah. Yeah, it came, yeah, competed in 2022,
missed last year because it was her.
I did not consider him a cheater in 2022.
Just my take.
You, what do you think?
I don't know, dude.
I'm kind of like,
I don't know, there is a gray for me
because I'm sure there are people out there
that get in a CrossFit and they're like,
well, I need to speed up the process.
So they say they're not competing,
they don't sign up for the open for a few years,
they get on stuff, they work on their game, they, they,
they improve at a crazy rate.
And then when they get to the point where they feel like they're kind of where
they need to be, then they're like, all right,
I'm ready to compete now and I'm clean. And I'm sure there are people like that.
But to me, if you're, I mean, dude, if you're,
if you're 21 years old and your buddies, you know
Injecting something in your glute and you're like you're just an idiot and you just want to be just want to be bigger and
You want to get jacked and then what's your buddy injected in your glute, bro? And what's he injected it with?
Can you show me what's that toy in the backseat?
Which one What's that toy in the back seat? You show me that with the camera. Use the camera, which one to the, to the,
Oh, the one that the screen can see, uh, other, is that a dollhouse?
Yeah.
Dollhouse.
Uh, this is a nugget.
Did you get that dollhouse for Brooke to play in, uh, between workouts?
No, but, uh,
but Brooke is Brooke has been nothing, but, uh, but Brooke has been nothing but, uh, gracious, respectful guests of my home
and with Lily and Quinn.
She's been super good with the girls.
Um, she's cool.
Yeah.
She's, uh, she's a lot.
She has very much exceeded my expectations as far as like the kind of person she is
She's really she's awesome. Why it be gay that dude injected into Taylor today beating him by 10 seconds
You're right. Mathias did he injected in me and he came away. He left with something
He left with some residue on his thingy too, man. So it's you know, we didn't all come away losers
He came away a loser a little bit too. He had some stuff on it
So who would who would ever deny us media credentials that are respected competition?
I don't, I don't know.
The biggest programming show in the space and we didn't get denied yet.
We didn't get denied yet.
Oh, I hadn't heard.
We're giving the people what they want.
Listen, we're the Pat McAfee show.
We're the Pat McAfee show of CrossFit.
That's what people like.
They don't want to hear.
They don't want to hear Beth Moans and the other commentators.
You don't exactly, you don't even know Beth Moans. She sucks.
Is that, is that really a person? Yeah. When the bitch commentates again,
people muter. That's what people don't want. They want. Why does she,
why does she have, why does she have to be a B word?
I'm not saying she's a B word because she's a female.
I'm saying she's a B word because she sucks at her job, dude
No, I in all honesty. I I thought you made I just thought you made up the name
No, beth moans is the worst game commentator you will ever hear
And if you're watching a college football game and you hear a commentate, you're just going to turn the channel
It doesn't matter what the game. Oh, she's a college. She's college football
She might do she might do some nba. also might, she definitely doesn't do NFL.
I think she does some NCA basketball.
Doris Burke is very good.
She's, she's NBA though.
That's the only, uh, female like color commentator that I know.
And like the major sports, I only like one, there's, there's only one,
there's only a couple of straight laced commentators that I actually like.
And it's Reese Davis. I really like Reese Davis straight laced, meaning like they don't get crazy.
You know what I mean? They don't, you know, uh, Fowler, Fowler's gotta be there. I like
Chris. I love Chris Fowler. I used to like Kirk Herbstreet a lot. I don't like him as
much anymore, but that being said, uh, we bring hot takes and we are both extremely
smart when I'm not talking about wieners and poop.
Um, which is very seldom.
That's not seldom, dude.
It's at least 50% of the time.
I'm not talking about wieners and poop.
Okay.
Uh, all right.
What else workouts?
What do we, what do we think?
Uh, that's crazy.
That's event five.
Event one is run swim.
That's not bad.
Oh no, it's event six, event six.
Event six.
Wow. Listen to this dude. That's event six on Friday night. So there's four more unannounced
events between run swim and that event. That also goes back on. I got to pull this back.
So chat, chat is seven before the correct.
Yep. Yep. So they're, hold on, hold on. Let me pull this back up,
because this is really critical.
I wanna take a fat steamer,
and this is one of the 50% of the times
I'm still talking about poop.
I wanna take a punch.
I got like three more minutes.
I got you, I got you, I got you.
Look, look, look, look, look, look, look.
Where's this, come on, did the comment go away?
No, hold on, Hold on. Hold on.
More. What do you think is more likely single modality, weightlifting, not necessarily single movement, but single modality, weightlifting or single modality gymnastics? I think we see a
CrossFit workout come out before we see any more single modality. I just want you guys to look at
this. So this is, if you guys are ever following Mike Halpin, you want to know how much of a dumb
ass he is, how stupid he is
How you shouldn't listen to anything he says because he's a manipulative snake look at his comment
So run swim on Thursday then run run on Friday. Love it. Hey dumb shit. There's five events between them you idiot
five events
Anyways, okay. I'm enough with that guy. Don't ever follow up. Don't ever listen to him ever again. I
Anyways, okay, I'm enough with that guy. Don't ever follow. Don't ever listen to him ever again
I didn't poop in the pool, but I finished the swim workout And there was a hole literally right in the back of my jammers where Matthias pulled out. That's crazy
Anyways
Appreciate you guys coming to watch
Keeping it real. Oh
I don't think Mike is intentional in his manipulation. You're right. I think it's just built into his character, which may be worse. I think we get a CrossFit workout
next. I don't think we get any more single modality. You? You think we get single modality?
Weylandton Gymnastics, what's your pick? One, one, two, dude, if we, I think it needs to be a few events before we see anything
else monostructural.
Cause right now that is, that is, that is.
Yeah.
It's three.
Well, okay.
Stop, stop.
You're still considering child monostructural.
That's our, no, no, that's fine.
There's, there's, there's, there's three monostructural.
We don't know though. The field sprint might not be monostructural. That's our deal. No, no, that's fine. There's three monostructural. We don't know though.
The field sprint might not be monostructural.
That's true.
And I should probably hold onto that
because it's probably a take
that most people aren't even considering.
That it's a sprint with a bag
or it's a sprint with a sled or if it's a, yeah.
And that is weight lifting.
That ain't, you know, that's,
it's moving an object from you.
Because one of the,
a really like, not necessarily exciting,
but a cool stimulus would be just like an empty sled sprint
of a hundred yards into a mile run.
You know, something like that would be really cool.
And easy to watch.
Cause I think if you have more than like 10 on the field
and you're doing like a true foot sprint,
it's kind of hard to watch it because it's, there's so many people so close
together, you don't know if someone got third or eighth in the heat.
You know what I mean?
This is a great, we talked about this in our last episode, Mike.
I am.
I think it's, I think it's more monostructural than anything else.
That's why I said that.
Someone, someone had a really great take and I forget where the comment is, but something monostructural is cyclical and repetitive.
And it is, that was your take.
No, but someone had a comment on the other show either.
It's, it's not monostructural because the box step up is not cyclical.
It's you're not like carrying any sort of forward energy.
You have to try a lot to do the next rep.
That's so just say, okay, say a burpee or say fucking a dumbbell snatch.
You give me a 10 pound dumbbell and do it a thousand times.
That's not monostructural stepping up to a box and stepping down a thousand
times is not monostructural.
It's just not.
We disagree.
And that's okay.
Cause we don't disagree that often.
Fuck that dude.
We don't disagree.
I'm right.
Okay.
Me and me and Bryson know that's usually how discussions with you and it's not it's honestly not and you know what you would be. Hey dude I need your opinion on something. I would have you know let's talk about.
That's not how it goes.
Bryson Bryson is harder than me in conversations. He yells at me, dude. Bryson yells at me.
But that's good, you need a little bit of that
because I don't do that.
It's an abusive work relationship.
I just take, take, take.
I don't know what to do about it.
I just take it, big take guy.
He yells at me, calls me a fucking idiot.
Sometimes I am.
