Sevan Matossian:
Mute. Oh, there he goes. Bam. Are we live? We’re live. Hey guys. What’s up Mr. Walking? Hi, Mr. Spin. Hey,
Tyler Watkins:
Good morning.
Sevan Matossian:
Good to see you guys.
Brian Spin:
Yeah,
Tyler Watkins:
It’s been a while.
Sevan Matossian:
Uh, Austin, you don’t know how true that is. Sev on’s, making sure his man bun is straight. That was the, uh, last thing that I, um, tied up. Uh, good morning, Mr. Chapman. Good morning. Good morning, Jethro. Good morning everyone. Uh, the winners will be, is Danielle Brandon competing?
Tyler Watkins:
Yes.
Sevan Matossian:
Event one winners will be Danielle, Brandon, and it’s obvious why. Uh, and, uh, Mr. Spin, uh, who will the male winner be?
Brian Spin:
Uh, it’s Roman or, or, uh, Jason, in my opinion, after watching the African, uh, event one, uh,
Sevan Matossian:
What did you see? What did you see in Africa? What do you mean after you see it? Why did you need to, why did you need to see it? Why does seeing it different than just seeing it on paper? The,
Brian Spin:
The, the big question was what is the handover hand pull gonna be like? Um,
Tyler Watkins:
How costly was that?
Brian Spin:
Yeah. And you know, watching that, Jason Smith crushed it. He’s one of the bigger athletes. He made it, he made the handover hand pull look way easier than the smaller guys. And, uh, you know, obviously it’s a weaker field than you’ll, than you’ll see in the Northeast. Um, but when you think about smaller athletes versus big, it’s gonna be the bigger athletes who still have that motor. And that’s, that’s Roman and Jason are are the two that completely stand out.
Sevan Matossian:
And, um, and I’ve heard Danielle, Brandon looks tiny in a person, so that might be a bad choice on my part. You’re saying <laugh>?
Tyler Watkins:
I disagree. She does not look tiny in person. She
Sevan Matossian:
Does not. Okay. Okay. That makes me good that I, I’ve just heard that when you see her in person, she’s small. She, she doesn’t, she, she’s a totally different creature than what you see on Instagram.
Brian Spin:
No, my, my only concern with Danielle is, is, is her, is her back better than, you know, she healed it up since last year. Um, you know, with, with the, with the handover hand pull, it could light up your back pulling that. So there, there would be a chance that maybe she has to slow down a little bit more than, than you would expect. But if, if that’s back in, in good order, I think she’s gonna be in contention for sure.
Sevan Matossian:
Um, um, uh, Tyler, what did you say? Um, the, uh, when he said that, you said something about the p handover. What, what the cost is
Tyler Watkins:
Cost, yeah. What the cost
Sevan Matossian:
Is. Explain that to me. I
Tyler Watkins:
Think a lot of people look at it and they’re like, that’s not gonna take much time. It’s not gonna be much burden on the athletes. And I, I was like, depending on the drag of the sled, the weight, I mean, it could be, it could cost way more physically than they, than I, I think people are guessing. And so I was interested to see that as well.
Sevan Matossian:
Um, uh, Mr. Spin, can you compare the sled pools from region to region to region? Uh, because they might have different floors or all are all the floors, uh, the surfaces, the sleds will be dragged on? Uh, the same.
Brian Spin:
I think they’ll be fairly the same, obviously. You know, they’re gonna be, they are gonna be different with whatever. Uh, you know, Africa was able to, to procure for the flooring versus, you know, north America and Europe. Um, I, I don’t know if, so in Africa they had to pull it back and forth three times each round. So, um, you know, you, you pulled it 25, 30 feet and then you turned around, pulled the rope back, and then, you know, went back and forth three times. I don’t know if that’s the same in, in, uh, the East. If it’ll be, you know, the same down and back three times, that could change a little bit. But, um, I think overall it’ll be pretty much pretty similar.
Sevan Matossian:
Uh, Stephanie as Danielle is very tiny in person. Sar wa palooza, and the only thing big about her was her rack. Wow. Stephanie, not cool. Uh, please not on this show. Uh, Scott Perkinson, have you asked Brian friend about the funeral for Mal? He was a part of over at Talking Woke Fitness? No. Um, I have not. And, um, uh, I, I, I, I, uh, I don’t think Mal, um, is dead. She’s actually, she’s, she spotted a Disneyland, uh, today. I personally have never seen a sled. I’ve never seen this sled. Um, the thread we’re on, someone sent a picture of it. I’ve never seen this thread. Caleb, can you show, for those of you who don’t know, this is not a piece of equipment from a San Francisco, uh, uh, night show. This is a leather sled. Has, has anyone here used this ca? Caleb, did you guys use this in the desert?
Caleb Beaver:
No, we didn’t even have these in the desert. This is, this is even below us.
Sevan Matossian:
This is just a piece of cow with the, with the, with the piece of steel, uh, uh, back of a cow with a piece of steel ring on it. Like a, like some woke kid’s, uh, nose ring.
Tyler Watkins:
Are they leather or are they canvas? They look like, oh, canvas. Yeah, it looks canvas to me.
Sevan Matossian:
They’re kind of gangster.
Tyler Watkins:
They’re, I think they’re cool as hell.
Sevan Matossian:
Uh, how much, how much are, how much is the, is that that piece of that canvas leather
Tyler Watkins:
One 15 bucks.
Sevan Matossian:
And, uh, any concerns? God, this is some minimal as shit. I, you know, we were talking the whole time, how are they going to get equipment over to Africa? I mean, this explains this. I mean, you can just, uh, roll this up and, and send it in a tube, right?
Brian Spin:
Yeah. Yeah. I mean, it’s a good, good way to get, you know, something like that over there. Even cheaper than sending over the metal sleds. Uh, you know, the metal sleds, I think maybe potentially could tear up some of the floor, uh, you know, with 225 pounds on it. But this seems to be a good, good alternative. Mm-hmm. <affirmative>,
Sevan Matossian:
I don’t, I don’t know what that stem is called that, um, that, that’s that standard diameter that plates, you know, slip over. But I, I saw a picture on one of our threads that actually showed a stem coming out of this piece of leather, this piece of cloth.
Tyler Watkins:
I thought I saw that too.
Brian Spin:
Yeah, it, I think it’s a PBC pipe just, just to keep the, the plates stacked on top of each other.
Sevan Matossian:
Ha ha has, sorry. Uh, I think I asked this. I don’t remember what the answer was. Has anyone here used one of these?
Tyler Watkins:
No. I’ve never even seen ’em before. It popped up in thread yesterday. I’d never even heard of it.
Sevan Matossian:
Caleb. Um, I wanna read the des can. Is there a description? I just wanted to read the description out loud on that thing. It looks cool. I wanna try it. And I’m guessing it’s limited the surfaces, you can pull that on. I’m guessing if I pull that in the street at my house, uh, my street will just tear that thing up. Um, this,
Brian Spin:
There, it is important on there, not on concrete or asphalt.
Sevan Matossian:
It does say that. Okay. Uh, the Sput Ink Magic Carpet Sled is a heavy duty weight sled designed for maximum versatility and portability. The sled itself weighs less than four pounds. It’s considerable, considerably lighter than a traditional metal dragging sled. It’s able to hold up to 600 pounds. Uh, use the magic carpet sled on grass, AstroTurf carpet, any gym or training space with rubber tile flooring, uh, non-abrasive surface surface. And your good to go? Um, good for
Tyler Watkins:
Good for rug?
Sevan Matossian:
You mean for having something cool like that?
Tyler Watkins:
Well, I mean, like, the, like, sleds cause a lot of problems at gyms and, and like, most people have turf and so, or rubber on their floor. So yeah. Good for them for creating something that, and it’s not gonna take up a ton of space. Like, think about how much space sleds stick up. You just throw this in a closet somewhere.
Sevan Matossian:
Deal. Yeah. You could stack, you could stack a hundred sleds in the closet.
Tyler Watkins:
Yeah.
Sevan Matossian:
Okay. Cool. Uh, and it says it holds up to 600 pounds, and the most will be seen is how much?
Brian Spin:
2 25 for the men.
Sevan Matossian:
Okay. W which ends up being what? Um, h how do they do that? They stack a bunch of 40 fives. How many? 40 fives is that? Yeah.
Tyler Watkins:
Yeah. Five fives.
Sevan Matossian:
Oh, dang. Wow. Uh, did anyone see any footage from Africa? A a any accidents? Um, wh when, you know, with those turns, you’re talking about the weight falling over, anything like that?
Brian Spin:
No. Um, it, it seemed like it, it spun around pretty easily when they did have to go back and forth. Um, you know, it, it, it stayed, you know, pretty stuck to the ground. I, I did notice on the last pole when they, when they were pulling over the finish line that you, you know, it kind of did come up, come up a little bit. Um, my biggest question is, I’ve heard that they have to keep both feet on the floor. Uh, when they are pulling, they can’t step backwards. Um, but I did see some do it and, and there was no, no penalties, no repercussions for it. So I think it’s kind of, that’s what you’re supposed to do, but you kind of just get a slap on the wrist if you do,
Sevan Matossian:
Uh, Caleb, that girl’s hair behind you is amazing.
Tyler Watkins:
Yeah.
Sevan Matossian:
Wow.
Tyler Watkins:
Should I tell her?
Sevan Matossian:
No, it’s fine. Uh, um, uh, but you can tell her that 600 people also think it’s amazing if you do tell her. Uh, so, so for those of you who don’t understand, I don’t know if that was spin or, uh, Tyler who said that, but yesterday I did sled pools with my kids, and my kids like to do that too. It is easier, or at least, I don’t know if it’s easier, but you can recruit different muscles when you get tired if you start walking backwards rather than pulling. So what you’re saying is, is that maybe they need to tape off a square on the floor in the future and be like, Hey, you have to stay in here. If you don’t stay in here, there’s a, a one second penalty for every time you step out of the square or something.
Tyler Watkins:
Do you think they’re doing it so they have to focus it on their, like their arms and or both leg drives at the same time? It seems to me like if you wanted to focus on the legs being burnt, you wouldn’t really care if they walked backwards, but I mean, maybe they don’t wanna focus it that way.
Brian Spin:
Yeah, I think they, they definitely want the, the pulling motion of it with the arms. Um, but yeah, I think that it’s, I think even just a simple tape line and keeping your feet on that tape line would work. Mm-hmm. <affirmative>, um, you know, if your feet come off that line, then you have to bring it back or something like that. But
Sevan Matossian:
I, if you lack the, the focus, confidence and strength to stay in one spot, when you pull the rope, uh, go out and grab yourself some paper, street coffee, paper st coffee.com. Use code word seon. There it is. And, um, and, uh, you’ll, you’ll get a personal note in your coffee. You won’t get any money off, but you’ll get a personal note in your coffee and maybe a dick pick from Gabe. Uh, every 1000 uh, orders gets a dick pick. Okay. Wow. I’m shot out of a cannon this morning. Uh, okay. Um, foot brace, anyone allowed to, uh, are, do people, are people bracing their feet or it’s, it’s all on you. You just stand there out. It’s all on you and, and wing it. Mm-hmm. <affirmative>. And that’s why you guys are suggesting in every respect this workout benefits a heavier athlete, whether it be with the machines or, uh, pulling the weight.
Tyler Watkins:
Yeah. You can move the, you can move the runner better if you have more weight to push the tread. Um, same thing on the rower. Like it’s easier to rower row when you’re heavier and then the ski, it’s easier to pull and then mass moves mass on the, on the sled. So
Sevan Matossian:
I apologize, I misunderstood. No, Dick picks just 15% off with the seven foot. I apologize. <laugh>, this is what I was concerned about. It folds, it folds under itself all the time. I’m, I think he’s referring to, um,
Tyler Watkins:
Something else.
Sevan Matossian:
The <laugh>, I think he, I think he’s referring to the sled. Uh, yeah. Interesting. Right? Uh, but I haven’t heard any complaints. I haven’t heard, I didn’t see
Brian Spin:
Any of that during, during watching, you know, watching the African, uh, semi-final.
Sevan Matossian:
Uh, we will, let’s review event one real quick. I’ll read it out loud. And then, uh, let’s go over and look at the list of athletes. I also went over to the Africa leaderboard and all, all the scores were already put in for the whole week. So they’re having some sort of issues over there.
Tyler Watkins:
They just already know
Brian Spin:
They are, but it, but if you do go to rebel renegade games.com, they do have the, the leaderboard. Correct.
Sevan Matossian:
And and whose leaderboard is that?
Brian Spin:
That’s that’s the organization who’s running it. Yeah.
Sevan Matossian:
Yeah. This is weird, right? Who actually, who actually won the, who actually won the event in Africa
Brian Spin:
On the women’s side. Yeah. Is is, it was, uh, Gilmar. Rinke.
Sevan Matossian:
So our, our workout won, um, scores even. Correct?
Brian Spin:
No. Oh, that’s now those, and those, those are athletes from last year and the, and the rankings they were in, I believe.
Sevan Matossian:
Okay.
Tyler Watkins:
So they shouldn’t change the reference to 2023 leaderboard.
Sevan Matossian:
Yeah. Okay. Uh, yeah, the women’s scores, uh, someone wrote, yeah, the women’s scores they have are all wrong. Okay. So that, and, and what you guys are saying, those are last year’s scores.
Brian Spin:
Yeah. At least the athletes are they, they, you know, uh, Michelle Moran won it and then, then it was Christina and then, uh, Michelle. So it’s the athletes that are this year. But I think there might be scores from last year.
Sevan Matossian:
A shout out to Travis and Brian for great coverage on barbell spin for lead up and discussion. John and his dog were useful as well. Who’s, uh, who’s Travis?
Brian Spin:
The, the guy in the middle right there?
Tyler Watkins:
Travis <laugh>. Oh.
Sevan Matossian:
Oh, gotcha. Alright. My bad. That what, what the fuck is your name?
Tyler Watkins:
I don’t know. Okay.
Sevan Matossian:
You have two. You’re like Eminem, you have three names.
Tyler Watkins:
Oh, it frustrates everybody at work. Cuz my, my display name is always Jason cuz it’s my first name, but Tyler’s my, the name I go by, so.
Sevan Matossian:
Alright. Yeah. Um, for those of you who don’t know, you can go to, um, barbell Spin on Instagram and everything. There will be the fastest, uh, news you can get in the space. Uh, it’s where everyone goes. It’s where I go. It’s all of us have our notifications turned full blast. It’s, uh, Mr. Spin’s, uh, Instagram account. He also has a show, a podcast that he does on the regular with John Young and Tyler Watkins. And this is, I, I personally think this is like, kind of the ultimate resource. I don’t even know how he gets all his shit so fast, but who cares? It’s good. Okay. Uh, let’s look at, uh, vent one real quick. Um, three, three machines, right? Uh, and, and a lot and a lot of work on them. Uh, we have this, um, 3000 meters on the Echo bike. What is it for those of us who don’t think in terms of meters? How, how for, what are some other metrics that can give us an idea what the, how far that is?
Brian Spin:
So the way I always thought about it when doing meters on an assault bike was, it took about 110 revolutions.
Sevan Matossian:
Okay.
Brian Spin:
Um, per thousand meters.
Sevan Matossian:
God, God, you’re a geek. I betcha Tyler has a number for that too. Geez.
Brian Spin:
Per, per thousand meters. And so if you think about 70 rpm gonna take about a minute and a half.
Sevan Matossian:
Wow. And, and that’s moving, right? I do, I do a salt bike, but on the, the 70 RPMs is moving.
Brian Spin:
Yeah. And I don’t know how that may equate to the Echo bike, but that’s just a rough estimate.
Sevan Matossian:
So it’s 70 RPMs and that’s a minute. Did you say? A minute, minute
Brian Spin:
And a half.
Sevan Matossian:
So, okay. So that’s, that’s
Tyler Watkins:
A,
Sevan Matossian:
That’s a chill pace. Half minute at fucking at 70 RPMs.
Tyler Watkins:
That’s a chill pace for these athletes though. It’s not a, it’s not a terri like it’s not gonna be fun, but it’s not, it’s not a two terrible pace.
Brian Spin:
Yeah. Uh, the, all the men finished in Africa on the, the best heat, uh, right around four minutes. Wow. Just over.
Tyler Watkins:
Did they look fresh coming off?
Brian Spin:
Yeah.
Tyler Watkins:
Yeah.
Sevan Matossian:
Okay.
Brian Spin:
They were definitely not pushing the pace at all. I mean, it, it’s, it’s kind of a warmup for these guys. Yeah. Um, you’ll lose it if you go too hard on that first part.
Tyler Watkins:
Right.
Sevan Matossian:
Uh, this is a great question. Uh, SEMA Beaver, uh, does Barbell spend sell insurance? He totally, God, please tell me. You do, please tell me. You do.
Brian Spin:
I do not. <laugh>.
Sevan Matossian:
Oh my god, you see it, right? Tyler <laugh>. Caleb, you see it, right?
Caleb Beaver:
Definitely. He probably works for State Farm,
Sevan Matossian:
Honestly, dude, he’s in their kitchen right now. It’s
Tyler Watkins:
Brian from State Farm.
Sevan Matossian:
That is incredible. Okay. Um, so, okay. And then, and then, and then what happens after that? They jump off four and a half minutes on this echo bike and then they jump off and Beautiful. And how close is that? Um, uh, where that is?
Brian Spin:
So the way they had it set up, it, I mean the, the, the sled is right next to the bikes and so they walk down the floor and start pulling it towards the finish line and they turn around, bring it back towards the start and then pull it back towards the finish line for the first round.
Sevan Matossian:
Is it 10 feet or 20 feet or how, how, how exactly how many feet would you say? Just roughly from the, from the bike to where you start pulling?
Brian Spin:
It was like 28 feet.
Sevan Matossian:
Okay. And then you finish that and you go to the assault runner. Is the assault runner just adjacent to the bike?
Brian Spin:
The assault runner was near the finish line. So when you finish the third round and pull that sled, it finishes right next to the runner.
Sevan Matossian:
Okay. And then 2000, uh, meters on the assault runner, uh, that’s over 5,000 feet. That’s a little more than a mile,
Brian Spin:
Mile and a quarter. Mm-hmm.
Sevan Matossian:
<affirmative>. Okay. And, and, and, and what are the, what are some of the times on that? And are the guys hurting? Did, does anyone walk or they all, they all get on start jogging?
Tyler Watkins:
I would imagine they have to be just holding a decent pace again. Like you’re
Brian Spin:
Not, a couple, couple women stopped, um, took a breather when I was watching. Uh, again, it’s, you know, it was, I it was
Sevan Matossian:
Patriarchy has spoken the patriarch couple women, uh, took a breather, <laugh>,
Brian Spin:
Um, I mean, back to the sled, it, it took three minutes for those guys to pull the sled. And that was, that was for Jason anyway. Um, so a little bit longer for those who weren’t keeping up on the top of the pace.
Sevan Matossian:
And Jason’s a man with gray hair. Right? How old is Jason Smith?
Brian Spin:
40, 38 39. Yeah.
Sevan Matossian:
Okay. Okay. And, and, and he and he he won that event?
Brian Spin:
Yeah.
Sevan Matossian:
Wow. Cra wow. Uh, did Keelan Henry’s size, um, did that, was that, was that a problem on this workout?
Brian Spin:
That’s what I was curious to see is would he be, you know, would it be him or Jason that would do better? Um, whether it was a smaller athlete or the bigger, and, and I mean, Keilan did fine. He’d finished I think fifth or sixth, uh, overall. But it definitely, the larger you are and, and that can still hold a run. That’s where it’s coming down to, I think is Can you pull the sled and can you, can you push the pace on the run?
Tyler Watkins:
Yeah. The win. I’m watching the women right now and they are not moving fast. Mm-hmm. <affirmative>, it’s a, it’s like a, a a little bit above a trot.
Sevan Matossian:
You’re watching, you’re watching it, uh, live or, or
Tyler Watkins:
No, I’m watching a replay.
Sevan Matossian:
Okay. Uh, Nick Hope, how is there 700 plus people watching only 13 likes on YouTube? I’ll explain it. It’s very simple. Um, uh, everyone hates me, but people are so desperate for content that they watch anyway. And these are the people who are dedicated to Tyler and Spin. Um, so there are actually 1200, uh, likes, but there’s, uh, 1100 and, uh, 80, uh, seven. Please check my math, uh, math dislikes. Uh, so there, there you go. And if you have any other hard questions that involve math, I will do them for you. Uh, ke Keilan, uh, Keilan is, is is short, maybe Colton Merton’s size over there in Africa, right? Five four Tiny, right. But built like a, it’s pretty short, big shit house, right? Mm-hmm. <affirmative> like a tank. Okay. And then, and then, so, so how long is that mile and a quarter on the runner? Uh, minutes wise, roughly?
Brian Spin:
I mean, the, some of the women were 12, 13 minutes. Um, I think, uh, Jason finished, what do I have? Just over nine minutes.
Sevan Matossian:
Okay. For the, for the run. Mm-hmm. <affirmative>
Brian Spin:
Just, just under an eight minute mile pace.
Sevan Matossian:
Uh, coffee pods and wads Pedro, who will be our correspondent in Berlin in the upcoming weeks, says the move is made on the runner. Whoever gets off the run first will be hard to catch. Uh, Mr. Watkins, why is that?
Tyler Watkins:
Yeah, cuz I mean, you’re, you’re able to make up so much time on that. And I think people at that moment are gonna be suffering. They won’t want to like really dig in deep and it’s all soul at that mo at at that point. And, uh, like training, if you’ve done a lot of running training when ti Tired, it’ll show right here.
Sevan Matossian:
Uh, who, who are the, who’s the best runner in, uh, north America? East on the men’s side,
Tyler Watkins:
There’s a lot of good runners. Um, I think Rowan’s a big fear because he is heavy. Like he, he’s heavier, but he’s also a decent runner. Um, Adler and then Hopper, like all the, the three best guys in the field right now, they’re all amazing runners
Sevan Matossian:
And, and, uh, uh, Sarah Buckman, uh, shit. Uh, sorry, I forgot to like, uh, here’s another one for you. Yeah. Everyone just like it twice. Don’t be a douche. Just like it twice. Subscribe, do, do all the stuff that the buttery bros tell you to do. Please. Uh, and, and on the women’s side, who, who’s, who’s a powerful runner, who are we gonna see? Where are we gonna see that statement that you guys are making about the runner being so important? Who, who’s going to be the kind of the definitive example of that on the women’s side?
Brian Spin:
I see Brooke Wells, Danielle, Brandon, Amanda Barnhardt, uh, Emma Lawson,
Sevan Matossian:
A a any just outstanding runners. Is, is, is, uh, Emily Rolfe in this? Uh, no. That she’s west? No. Yeah. Okay. Uh, and she is an outstanding runner. What, what about Brook Wells? We saw her, I wanna say last year, come off the runner and, and it was some pretty, uh, interesting footage. She, she looked like she was punched drunk. Do you remember that? Last year? And one of the semi-finals, she came off the runner and she, she, I don’t know if someone even, maybe even caught her. She was jacked up. Not a problem this year.
Brian Spin:
I don’t, I mean, yeah, I, I don’t know what happened there, but I, I, I look at, I looked at the capital, I think as a good kind of comparison to what we might see, um, this morning. Reason being is it did require power output on, on the pig and then also the, the odd objects, uh, with a, with a longer run there in the middle. So it, to me, it seems a little similar to that. And I mean, of the, the women in the North America, east Brook was the best finisher, uh, followed by Danielle and Amanda.
Sevan Matossian:
Oh, I like it. I’m telling you Danielle, Brandon, I thought that that’s a great pick. Go ahead, Tyler.
Tyler Watkins:
I tend to lean more towards the Texas Trail just because the sandbag was such a limiter in the Capitol event for a lot of people. And it was, it’s weird if you don’t have big ar you don’t have long arms, you’re not gonna do well in the Capitol event. And so, um, I leaned more heavily on that one, but Danielle, Brandon won that event. And then the next, um, person in our semi-final is b Emma Lawson. Um, yeah. And she finished like fifth or sixth, fifth,
Brian Spin:
But Brooke wasn’t there, so we don’t know how she would’ve done.
Tyler Watkins:
Right, right.
Sevan Matossian:
Uh, standby guys. We have some huge breaking news. Uh, it, it sounds like event one will be aired on YouTube for anyone who can find the CrossFit podcast. Now that will be very, very difficult to find. Uh, uh, many of you will have the information, very few of you will find it. Even if I were to send you a link, you probably couldn’t find it. <laugh>,
Tyler Watkins:
It’s encoded.
Sevan Matossian:
Is this true? Is this true? Is this thing gonna be, is is is event one, uh, gonna be shown? Are we gonna hear Chase talking about Event one? Oh shit. They’re, they’re already live on there. Mm-hmm. <affirmative>, let’s take a peek with, uh, without getting us kicked off. Let’s hear what they’re, what they’re saying. Three seconds. Three seconds.
Tyler Watkins:
Oh, so they got floor cams set up. They’re not even,
Sevan Matossian:
Okay, so Orig. Oh, and they got cha that you could see Chase on there. So are you telling me that original, this is the team event three and originally wasn’t gonna be televised and now it is. They’re
Tyler Watkins:
Pull something out of the Zelos games handbook right here.
Sevan Matossian:
Wow. Okay. Okay. Good for, okay. So, so when this is over, uh, guys, this show will be over in 20 minutes and we will uh, well, I guess we’ll keep going and we’ll actually try to play a couple seconds for you and find out and then we can all travel over there together. Okay. And, uh, there’s more breaking news though. The big news is, uh, from the Echo Bike, the Rogue Echo bike has made an announcement. A John Young rode me and I made him gay <laugh>. Well that’s cool. Uh, I cannot say that, that you will have those same benefits for everyone who rides it, but these are, uh, these are some of the, the wor working out, uh, has its, um, benefits. Wow. 40 viewers over there. I’m dude. Uh, hu hu hu Anus. Uh, please, Tyler, this show’s serious. Please, please don’t. Um, I think, well, it’s, I think the J is silent.
It’s yin, my bad. Oh, you were laughing at me. I yeah. Asshole for my annunciation. Uh, I’m telling you that that account is so hard to find. It is, um, uh, uh, straight from, uh, the small island of the United Kingdom. Newt says it’s embarrassing how long it took them to realize they fucked up by not screaming. Well, let’s be positive. They, they are streaming it and um, and they even have internet on your island, so that’s cool. Uh, Jake Chapman se I feel like CrossFit is to you a son who now has a stepdad. You dislike. I feel like CrossFit is to you a son. I’m the son and it’s the stepdad. It, it’s, I like it. That works. Yeah. Yeah. He’s fucking my mom and he fucking, and he hits me once in a while. <laugh>. Yeah, I get it. <laugh>. Fair enough. Serious. Okay, I’ll go with it. I’ll go with it. I’ll go with it. It hurts a little bit, but I’ll, I’ll, I’m not, I’m not gonna like, I’m gonna, um, chill. Okay. Um, uh, so, so, uh, let me where we’re at here guys, uh, cuz we’re getting close to the picks. Um, we are four, four minutes on the, uh, whatever that 3000 meter was. What was that?
Brian Spin:
On the Echo bike? On
Sevan Matossian:
The bike On Echo Bike, okay. Four minutes on the Echo bike and then, um, and then pull, how long was the first pool? The rope pool?
Brian Spin:
Three minutes.
Sevan Matossian:
Three minutes on the rope and then, and then, uh, 12 to 13 minutes on the, um, one and a quarter mile run. And then we go back and well, for the,
Brian Spin:
For the minute it’ll be about nine minutes.
Sevan Matossian:
Okay. Nine. Okay. So we’ll say nine to 13 depending on what you have in your pants. And now what fatigue do we see when they get to the, now we’re gonna see them pull the sled the second time. What do we see now? What are the implications of all that other shit that they’ve done already? The, the, the running, um, the first pool and the, uh, echo bike
Tyler Watkins:
Before you answer. Right. Okay. I imagine they’re, they don’t slow down much like at that point they’re just staying steady
Brian Spin:
For false for Jason. Absolutely true. Yeah. The smaller guys, um, so Darren Zemer, he was I think first or second in the quarter finals for Africa. He’s a smaller athlete and he struggled big time. Um, so that the, the cumulative effect of the poll started to get to him. Um, and he finished the way down there like 24th or something like that.
Sevan Matossian:
Wa was Jason first off the bike?
Brian Spin:
Uh, I mean they were all off within 10, 15 seconds of each other. It was not, it, it’s, it’s what you are used to seeing on a machine that’s on that’s the start of a long workout. There’s, there’s no reason to press it. Um,
Sevan Matossian:
How about, sorry, was Jason first off the runner?
Brian Spin:
Yes. Okay. He was the, he was the fastest on the pole and then he held onto the run and then he was just, you know, he, he separated himself on the p on the second pole.
Sevan Matossian:
And, and do you have any idea it’s, uh, the, um, if anyone made pace or made ground on him on the runner And, and I’m asking all these questions about the runner because we’ve established of how, how important it is. Did anyone make, uh, gains on him on the runner?
Brian Spin:
It was tough to see, but it did appear that a few of ’em were running slightly faster than him. Um, but they had no gas or, or the ability to pull on that second one.
Sevan Matossian:
Uh, this is, uh, absolute bullshit. Uh, there’s no way Savon can do seated rope climb if when my arm is healthy I can do anything with a rope. I am a pulling machine. How dare you. Uh, so then, so they pull and are they, is when he’s pulling, is he doing um, uh, feet side by side with the rope between his legs in short pulls or, or, or or big pools with turning,
Brian Spin:
He’s doing big two-handed poles. Um
Sevan Matossian:
Okay.
Brian Spin:
You know, pull, pulling the sled three, four feet each pole, you
Sevan Matossian:
Know. Okay. So he is not doing hand over hand. It’s too heavy for that. It’s not, it’s not a steady stream. It’s pool
Tyler Watkins:
Yank.
Sevan Matossian:
Okay.
Brian Spin:
You saw a few try it and I think they quickly realized it was not gonna be sustainable.
Sevan Matossian:
Okay. And um, so then they finished that p how long does that pool take them?
Brian Spin:
Uh, again, just three minutes
Sevan Matossian:
And then it’s the final machine, which is the
Tyler Watkins:
Ski. Oh
Sevan Matossian:
God. Why they should just throw that machine away. It’s,
Tyler Watkins:
I love the ski so much.
Sevan Matossian:
You like, but you enjoy watching it.
Tyler Watkins:
Uh, just cuz of how powerful these athletes are. That’s why I enjoy watching it. It’s like amazing to me. Cuz I feel like skis one of the better instruments I’m better at, I’m good at, and they’re, they’re just in a, on a different planet. Like watching Roman pool on this is crazy.
Sevan Matossian:
I just can’t figure out how to share this experience in any, like the echo bike, we can talk about meters and calories and minutes and, and the assault air runner, you know, running. But yeah, there’s no, it’s just, it’s, it’s, it’s, um, it there, there’s no parallel in the, in the, in the real world. Right. It it is its own creature. Is that true? Well, it’s like.
