00:00
Alright. Two weeks ago, we put out a challenge. For all the dorks who listed this podcast, we did a fitness challenge.
00:07
It was We called it my first muscle. It was a hundred burpees, a hundred push ups, and a hundred squats as fast as you can, a hundred times a hundred times a hundred. That's a million.
00:16
And we put it out there, and we've had thousands of people do it.
00:21
They've a lot of people have sent out videos, tweeted out videos to us. So we're gonna react to we're not just we're not just gonna react. We also have stuff to give out. Yeah. We're naming the winners. So we offered prizes, our friends at
00:33
plunge decided to give away a cold plunge to the fastest male and the fastest female winners. We also have Nike's strength that offered a bunch of exercise equipment and gear to the third, fourth, fifth place winners, which for us is gonna be who entertained us, who has, you know, the best costume, the funniest video, the most creativity, the most inspirational
00:51
And so we're gonna go through a bunch of the submissions right now and, see which ones we like. Who's the winner?
01:04
How fast did you do it?
01:07
So I did it in thirty four minutes and forty seconds. Which at first, you did it in forty five minutes as a test. And then so you improved ten minutes. I predicted that I was gonna be a hair under twenty minutes. I got, like, twenty minutes in, like, fifteen seconds. It was really hard. It was really hard.
01:23
Yeah. It was very it was very difficult. Like the challenge because no matter what level of fitness you have, it's just super hard for you at, like, if you're really fit, going fast makes it harder, If you're not fit, just finishing it makes it hard. And so shout out to everybody who did it. If you did it, you're the real winner in my heart. I'm shocked how fast people were. I thought so I I guessed my time correctly. I said that was gonna be the ninetieth percentile, not even close.
01:46
People were going so fast.
01:49
Could you have gone faster?
01:51
Yeah. I think, so what we said in the rules was the only rules where you had to do it and you had to do nips to the ground, meaning for your push ups and your burpees, you had to touch the ground.
02:01
But then besides that, we said nothing else. And the fastest people, it appears as though they broke it to ten,
02:06
ten, like, rep increments. And that was probably the right move. I did it in three,
02:11
thirty three rep increments. That was probably wrong.
02:14
Yeah. Form is definitely
02:16
it's the hot topic here. It's the debatable thing. Nobody's form is perfect. I don't even know what perform would have been. So we're just gonna do our best and see what happens. Alright. Let's watch some of these videos.
02:27
So this guy, Ben Ferguson.
02:28
Let's see. This guy had an advantage. He is a videographer.
02:32
So first of all, he wore a weighted vest. So already, this guy's this this guy's trying to win the cool points. He's not trying to win the speed prize, but I respect that.
02:40
He's up in a mountain somewhere.
02:42
Yeah. I mean, how much trouble I had just setting up the tripod? This guy's got the drone following him up a mountain.
02:53
Oh, wow. I'll look at
02:58
this.
03:01
I should just hire this, Ed.
03:03
It's also harder for the tall people. Yeah. It looks like he's seven, eight. Did he say his time?
03:10
Let's see. His time no. He didn't he didn't even say oh, see see this guy, he knows. What's up? He didn't say his time instead. Hashtag beautifully done.
03:18
Like, I really say, it's the challenge just beautifully done. And I gotta admit, this was beautifully done.
03:25
Inspirational.
03:26
Dude, he didn't even do it. He didn't even do it.
03:29
Oh, he no. He did have the time. Six he said for the record, my time was sixteen minutes and three seconds. Hoping for fifteen minutes, but I'll take it. So okay. So he filmed this epic one, and then he just went to his backyard and did it for time also
03:41
separately.
03:42
Alright. That is, eight and a half out of ten. Eight and a half. What kind of what kind of Russian judge are you? What's gonna be a nine? This guy filmed it with a drone on a mountain with a weighted vest. It was the first one we watched. I can't go too high.
03:56
Alright. Let's do,
03:58
okay. This guy is amazing. Did you see this guy?
04:02
So Dustin
04:03
came in strong with the Sampar costume.
04:07
We alright. So there's context. When I was twenty one years old, I had a hot dog Stan, and I these I'm holding a sign that says, all beef dogs. That was my sign. I look extra fat in that photo.
04:18
There was wind blowing, I think, in my tank top, like, it is The wind?
04:23
Dude, I don't think I was that thick, but, yeah, I look a little thick. And he copied my sign exactly, and he looks like he looks like me. He found the blue he found the blue tank top. Got the all beef dogs. I look like Bobby Hill. This guy, I mean, the costume. He's already an instant contender
04:41
for top top, top costume here. What do you think? That was pretty good. That was pretty good. That was a deep cut. I'm shocked he found that photo.
04:49
Alright.
04:50
You're gonna love this one. This guy
04:53
Just a hero. So this guy's fifty years old.
04:56
Shredded.
04:57
Shredded.
04:59
But also kinda naturally shredded, not like achievable shredded. Yeah. Not like, oh, that's strange. What do you take? Like, that's not my first question. What are you taking? I don't suspect that he's on TRT.
05:10
Also,
05:11
Somebody tweeted out. They go. They go, well, this guy's doing it in front of the fucking parthenon. Like, what do you want me to do? I get in front of the coliseum over here. And he did a fast time. Fifteen minutes.
05:22
Very good.
05:24
Also, he's happy.
05:25
I beat Sam. He did. He beat me by five minutes. He crushed me.
05:29
Dude, all these crossfit guys annihilated us.
05:33
Do you think at fifty
05:35
are you gonna look like this guy at fifty? I think I'm gonna look better.
05:40
Oh, he beats your time now.
05:43
He's fifteen years older than you, but Alright.
05:46
Okay. So let me just I would like to talk to you about CJ Gustafson.
05:51
Okay. CJ Gustafson.
05:53
Let's take a look at this guy's profile picture.
05:56
Seems like a average looking guy. Yeah. He's an accountant, I would bet. If you set if you just showed me, ten people in a lineup with this guy's one of them. What I have said yeah. That guy is really fit. Yeah. That guy could beat me in a race. What's it look like when he popped that top?
06:11
Dude, look at this. Look at the delta.
06:14
Between
06:15
his
06:16
actual fitness and body
06:19
versus his profile picture.
06:21
Yeah. He looks good.
06:24
I mean, this guy needs a new profile photo. What's in let me see if I I I need a full front Yeah.
06:30
I'd I'd eat full frontal. Is that what the frontal means? Alright. It didn't give us a full frontal, but the guy did the whole challenge in ten minutes and seventeen seconds, which is insanely fast. Almost as fast as the winner, I think. And by the way, this guy is, like, he's, like, a finance guy, startup CFO.
06:46
I looked at his picture and I said he was at count. I wasn't too we were in the ballpark. You know what he should say? Instead of opinions are not my own, not investment advice, he should also say face is not what body looks like. Yeah. Yeah. Face is not indicative of body. Face not indicative of bod.
07:00
CJ, you're a sleeper, man. You you you have it going on. Alright. Let's look at some of the fast guys.
07:07
So first of all, this guy didn't win,
07:10
but he kinda won my heart a little bit. So this guy
07:16
You have a thick neck?
07:18
Just just a stud on a beach, says he's in Brazil.
07:21
He said he's in Brazil. In his opening speech, you know, he's not, like, he's not, like, second up to us. You know what I mean? He knows. Is he American? He he's not, like, hey, man, big fan. Love the pod. You guys inspire none of that. He just says, I'm out here on the beach in Brazil. Gonna do the work. Gonna do the challenge. And then he hits us with the let's fuck, which is just the subtle nod that yeah. I'm a big fan. I listen to the pod, but I'm not gonna I'm not gonna lay it on thick here.
07:47
And then the guy in the sand
07:51
explosive
07:52
What what time did he get? Comes to mind. That is explosive. What time did he get? Eleven forty in sand. Yeah. That's a pretty good time, and he looks like he's doing it perfect for him. Alright. So this guy's like a, like, a runner-up ish eleven minutes, forty seconds in the sand extra difficulty.
08:08
This guy, eight minutes and fifteen seconds to do the challenge.
08:12
Alex
08:13
Bakara. What do you think of this crossfit burpee thing they do? Where when they jump, they look like a dead bug instead of, like, jumping
08:21
They have and they kinda have duck feet. I think that's the way to go. That's, like, kinda how you gotta, like It's definitely, like, optimal, but
08:29
I don't know. Don't love that. But insane time for this guy, eight minutes, fifteen seconds. Are you ready to see the winner, Sam? Who can beat eight minutes and fifteen seconds?
08:37
When I show you this guy, I'm just gonna pause the video. Alright.
08:41
That's a master top. That's a man.
08:46
Full head of hair on the chest.
08:49
Yeah. He's got a chest beard. That is a man. Just
08:53
shredded.
08:54
Drink it up. Comic sans font or something. What ups, Shauna Sam, in yellow? Alright.
09:01
I already, I'm intrigued.
09:03
Doing it in socks, no shoes, optimal. Doing it on a turf field. No resistance, not like the sand guy. Right? This guy wanted to win.
09:10
He also looks like he's was built for this challenge in that he's got very short arms, incredibly short arms. So this guy got eight minutes in what?
09:19
Eight minutes and six seconds.
09:21
Dude, look at those look at those pipes. Even calls I have luckily luckily I have short arms, and I could do the burpees fast. So he does the burpees.
09:28
He's drifting away off camera. But he also puts his, his story on here. So he says, just graduated from business school in Canada, I run a student painting business. I'm trying to break the franchise record. The franchise record is one million. So I'm literally trying to make my first million this year.
09:44
He just ties it in. I listened to Emma Family the car while I'm driving to sales and checking in on the cruise.
09:49
He had a cold tub and he broke it. Pulling on our heartstrings.
09:53
This guy had it all. He had the time. He had the story. He tied in with the pod, and he's got the heartache
09:59
of,
09:59
of his broken cold plunge. Also, Will Braun, like a usain bolt style name. I just love it. Alright. So if that's the fastest guy, are you ready to see the fastest girl?
10:08
That was the fastest guy. The the Harry guy? Number one,
10:12
he wins a cold plunge. Oh, you said he was number two. So that guy's number one. That guy's number one. Number two was,
10:18
So that guy gets the punch. That guy got the pledge. Brunyon.
10:22
Or what's his name? Bunion.
10:25
Ronny?
10:26
Ronny. Will
10:28
forever known as Brunyan.
10:30
Will Brunyan. Congratulations,
10:32
my friend. Time to get cold.
10:35
This guy Matthew Price, who's got, like, a water polo picture here. So you know this guy's fit. Him and his girlfriend opposite sides of the world, they did it, like, over Zoom or something like that. That's awesome.
10:45
He got nine minutes, fifty two seconds. She got ten minutes and two seconds. So fast.
10:50
And he's got his, he's got his video. He's got her video. They did it together. So they were very close. She was, I think, third place amongst women. So congratulations. Did she do did she do real push ups?
11:01
Yeah. So what? Well, yeah, she did not on the knees.
11:05
That's what you're asking. So now
11:08
Jenna Stark came in with technically the fastest time, but we got a little bit of controversy here on the form. Okay. So She's a cross fitter,
11:16
and check out the form here.
11:19
So she's doing push ups, but she's hitting the ground with every push up. Like That she's but that's not against the rules that we said. You said nips to the ground, but that doesn't mean you, like, a pushup, you don't let your body go at the bottom. That is pretty funny. She's just, like, she's just gonna fucking fall.
11:38
And so she
11:40
but, I mean, she's very fit, and she did her burpees
11:43
extremely well. So eight minutes and fifty eight seconds, which is the same the best. So fast. Here's here's I think the the challenge. What was the fastest guy for the time or the fastest, guys,
11:52
Eight zero six. Got it. Wow. So she's fifty seconds slower than the fastest guy. Now she invites a friend over
12:00
friend doesn't even have Twitter. Friend does the challenge.
12:03
Friend does nine minutes and forty four seconds. So definitely slower, about a minute slower, but Look at this form.
12:10
Perfect push ups. Dejetta Stark just lost it for herself
12:14
by submitting her friend. Yeah.
12:17
With friends like this, we need enemies.
12:19
Well, yeah. She just
12:21
she blew it. That's great form.
12:24
This is great form. And so I kinda feel like it should be Janistark's friend who wins. She doesn't have Twitter.
12:31
How do we even get a contact? She also may not listen to the podcast. Yeah. Might just be a crossfitter? Well, that Jenna went and told to do this challenge. We've got us we're we're gonna send it to Jenna. Jenna's not gonna say, like, she's not gonna give it to her friend.
12:44
Yeah. Okay. So I think what we do, we send it by the way, they did it in the same gym, I think. So we're just gonna put it in Jen as Jim. And then
12:51
from there,
12:53
they can share the tub. They can split the tub. They could fight over the tub. They can cross it over the tub. Whatever they need to do. Alright. So that is the fastest female time. So congratulations, Jenna Stark and your friend. You guys get to share the plunge.
13:05
Those are the top male and female
13:08
winners of the challenge. That's amazing.
13:11
So to the Paul Bunyan guy and Jen Stark,
13:16
Congratulations.
13:18
Alright.
13:19
Let's now try to find
13:21
our honorary winners, costumes, creativity, whatever else it is. Well, what what what are the criteria? Do we have three to give away? It's just who we're most impressed by. We did say costume.
13:32
We did say creativity.
13:34
I think we said most inspirational. The Rudy award. The Rudy award. So that's what we're looking for. I would like to submit a nominee
13:41
This is furious Steve.
13:44
This guy rocks up to the challenge in jeans and boots with a rock star energy
13:52
and proceeds to just do perfect form burpees hands up with the hop, and just crushes it. How can I believe this?
14:02
Well, the real Paul Brunyan.
14:04
Ten minutes and forty two seconds. Super fast.
14:08
Dude, that's awesome. He I wonder if he's got, like, a dip in.
14:13
And now, technically, he says he only did ninety eight burpees, forgot two burpees, but also
14:18
honesty.
14:20
A lost a lost trait in our generation. This guy that came in so honest didn't speed up the video. Just said, here's every rep.
14:28
Take it or leave it, sucker. Dude, is he wearing work boots?
14:33
I'm surprised this guy has a yoga mat. Why is he doing this sort of yoga mat?
14:38
Why do we What is the ocean of yoga bat?
14:42
Cowhide
14:43
are just brick I'm shocked he owns this. Alright. Pretty good. What else? I mean, as a contender. Okay. Next one, I wanna submit to you. There's a guy. Okay. So this girl who did it with a broken leg. At first, I thought it was a one legged lady, which would have been way cooler. I this is who I saw. I saw this lady looks like she's got surgery or something on her ACL, and she did it in one of these long casts where you gotta keep your legs straight. I mean,
15:08
To do this, so she says I'm two months post surgery. She's doing what are these called pistol squats?
15:14
She's doing one legged pistol squats. That's hard. Did she do a hundred of them? Did she do the whole thing? That is so hard. Oh my god. Yes. She did she did the whole thing. She did the whole thing in eighteen minutes. She's gonna have it on. She beat your time with a broken leg doing one legged pistol squat. So she's gonna be uneven when she gets back walking with too late. She'll be walking in circles.
15:32
Joke's on you, Abby.
15:37
I'd rather have two weak legs and one strong one. I mean, that was crazy.
15:41
Shathy girl, Steph Smith. Did you see step Steph submission? So Yeah. Front of the pod, all time saving guest I go, Steph, do you ever exercise? She was like, nah, never. She steps steps down an exercise fan, and she still did this. Yeah. Me push ups. Whatever you gotta do. Twenty one minutes. Amazing. And did it in your old school, the hustle t shirt too, to a little nostalgic for you. Alright. Another con another shout out we gotta give is to shield.
16:08
You know, there's a lot of VCs who talk big game.
16:12
Sheel, with the most assets under management of anybody who completed the challenge. The the biggest rush you need. I was a big time VC. Now gotta say, form was atrocious. Okay. So, you know, the I mean, I don't know if you could see it. Did he even squat?
16:27
So the this is the push up form.
16:29
Sheel, you're gonna get hurt doing this. This this is dangerous.
16:33
This needs doing the worm.
16:35
Shout out
16:36
shout out to for you to for you doing it. Fifteen minutes, did it with his brother. And then he's like, by the way, this is my brother.
16:45
Somebody should date this guy. And then puts up a Google doc,
16:48
About his brother. He says he's thirty four, hedaro and monogamous.
16:53
Five five,
16:54
seeking LTR. What's LTR stand for? Long term relationship.
16:57
Marriage, and kids. He's plant based.
17:00
I mean, what's not to love? So shout out to him. I hope he, find somebody from video. She all lives in San Francisco. He doesn't even have room for weight equipment. So
17:10
we're not gonna give it to him. We can't give it to him. Well, I give him props. Oh, yeah. You can have a problem. Some of my respect,
17:18
but not a marvell.
17:19
Let's who else who else we got. Okay. There was a guy. The guy deleted his tweet, but I'm just gonna say it out loud. Did you see the guy who
17:26
every
17:27
set, put on a new article of clothing, and by the end, was wearing, like, fifty t shirts?
17:34
No. Why would he delete that?
17:36
I don't know. I think because there was, like, a gap between when we submitted this and when we announced the winners or gave any sort of feedback. And I think he kind of
17:43
got embarrassed. It's like when you're you you have your hand off for the high five, and then you realize you're gonna get left hanging, and then you gotta, like, pretend it was something else. I think that's what he did. He just deleted the tweet. But John Brown, I loved that video. I couldn't I mean, just a hilarious, creative way to do it. Put a the guy was wearing, like, sixteen cardigans doing burpees. It was insane. This kid, thirteen years old in Vietnam.
18:06
You can't hear this by the way. He's playing Apple bottom jeans,
18:10
the song right here to start this off. So
18:13
the rotating dollar sign,
18:15
What a touch. Why does he have a stall item?
18:18
What is it? What? Is that a skeleton head, a skull? Yeah. This is That's his brand. Dude, when you were thirteen, what were you doing on your MySpace and ZINGA pages? Like Yeah. I mean, stone cold Steve Austin. I guess that's the
18:30
thirteen year old kid in Vietnam completing the challenge in twenty two minutes with a dog walking around, chat out to this guy. I like this guy. Mormon, So this guy ticked all the boxes. Right? Everybody's gotta type, he knows our type. So he said This was good.
18:44
He does the challenge. Now here's how you do it in a smart way. Right? So he says,
18:48
what do you get when you cross a brain, a wolf, and a dinosaur?
18:52
This guy? And then he starts telling a story. I'm twenty six years old. I'm from Utah. Yes, Sean. I'm a Mormon. I'm an avid cross fitter.
18:57
I'm figuring out what I'm gonna do in my life, blah, blah, blah, and then he starts talking about his businesses. He's got the wolf jack. He's got this other business. And so he just told us his story while he's doing the stuff in the background. I thought this was clever. Nicely done. Yeah. And a very fast time, nine minutes and four seconds.
19:12
Wow.
19:13
So
19:14
love this one. So Allison b, she gets on here. And she's like, hey, guys. Love the pod.
19:21

19:31
That's what I want. I'm a She's like, I'm an upstanding professional. I get stuff done. And I just wanna work with cool people doing interesting things. And here and then she's like, okay. And now watch me die. And then she does the challenge. Are you on your Twitter right now? You should I deamned her. I said send me the resume. I I I might have a role for you. And if not me, then we'll pass it along.
19:50
Alright. What else we got? This guy, not inspirational to me. This guy, jealousy inducing.
19:56
Josh,
19:57
does it in eleven minutes at forty seconds with a twenty with a twenty pound weight vest on the whole time. Dude, he works at the night, the company that's giving us the weight cell. Exactly. He can't win. Here disqualified Josh, but And he's basically a professional athlete.
20:12
Yeah. If you work at Nike gear, you're not gonna win the Nike gear. These people in Mexico did it,
20:18
beautiful house. That's all I just wanted to say. This was inspirational,
20:22
like,
20:23
that's racial. Yeah. As racial. I think they got it wrong.
20:27
Okay. This guy basically created a whole script. Did you watch this video? Yes. He was, an early submit or two.
20:37
Sinematic,
20:38
artistic, story.
20:40
Guys eating pizza.
20:42
He's listening to the pod. He hears about the challenge, and then
20:47
it loads it up, loads up the coffee,
20:50
starts doing it. That was the whole challenge. I think sixteen minutes does the whole challenge, but very well done. This guy's a videographer should hire him. Alfons. I think it's gotta go so far to the to the broken leg lady. Yeah. So inspirational,
21:03
we're gonna go, broken leg woman who did it with pistol squats. Congratulations.
21:08
You are the winner of the Nike gear.
21:11
The best costume oh, I gotta show you my vote for best costume. So Best costume. Here's the contenders. There's the guy who did all beef hot dogs.
21:18
There's the guy who did it in the boots and the jeans.
21:21
And then I gotta give you one more This guy. Do you see this guy?
21:25
Man, and that's pretty good. Is he smoking a cig? He smoking a cig cowboy hat with the manifest cowboys handwritten thing.
21:32
Goes out there also with, like,
21:34

but the Jean's guy did it really fast. How fast did this guy do it in? This guy did it in,
21:55
fourteen to seventeen minutes in attempt one.
21:58
Who do you think would use the weights more?
22:02
Who needs it more? Yeah. Like who I think okay. The guy who did it in the boots and the jeans?
22:08
That guy is chopping wood. He's all natural the way he's doing it.
22:12
So you think that this guy gets it? I think this guy Alright. Cool. I think he deserves his name. Best costume goes out to Rhett Porter, the manifest cowboy.
22:22
