  Two.
• 1:42
  Two from NorCal.

  But they're not doing teams.
• 1:48
  Syndicate gets three, three, three.
• 1:51
  Yeah, so Syndicate gets three teams.

  It'll have to be three as well, yeah.
• 2:00
  All right.
• 2:01

  Such a busy weekend, semis and WCWs.
• 2:08
  The Women's College World Series.
• 2:10
  Oh,
• 2:11
  I thought that was like Eric Bischoff came
• 2:13
  back with the new WCW.
• 2:15
  Negative, negative, negative.
• 2:16
  No.
• 2:17
  It was good to see him on that
• 2:19
  Hulk Hogan documentary.
• 2:20
  I forgot he was a person.
• 2:22
  I was like, holy smokes, Eric Bischoff,
• 2:24
  how about that?
• 2:25
  That is a tale to do not let
• 2:29
  your ego get the best of you.
• 2:31
  A hundred percent.
• 2:34
  hundred percent completely takes over the
• 2:38
  wrestling world with wcw in the nineties
• 2:42
  and went way too far with his ego
• 2:46
  and ended up going bankrupt and having to
• 2:48
  sell off the company legitimately wrote
• 2:51
  checks his ego legitimately wrote checks
• 2:54
  that his ass could not cash like that's
• 2:57
  a thing that actually happened crazy man

  Got the stamp on it.
• 4:15
  John George, man, we miss you.
• 4:17
  Finally catching a live show.
• 4:18
  Big weekend.
• 4:20
  Can you imagine just leaving an Airbnb,
• 4:23
  getting all the way back to where, or,
• 4:25
  you know,
• 4:25
  some person always letting you stay
• 4:27
  basically and getting all the way back
• 4:28
  home and realizing that you left your
• 4:30
  performance enhancing hormones somewhere
• 4:31
  in a completely different spot.
• 4:35
  If there's one thing to remember to pack.
• 4:39
  if nothing else forget the underwear in
• 4:43
  the drawer i get it that's easy to
• 4:45
  come by shorts in the washer i get
• 4:48
  it but your hgh that should be the
• 4:51
  first thing that gets packed in the cooler
• 4:54
  when you head out of the airbnb lovingly
• 4:57
  wrap your stuff and bubble wrap and put
• 4:59
  it into the cooler to make sure that
• 5:01
  this makes the trip back to the house
• 5:06
  The most important thing to pack and you
• 5:08
  forget it.
• 5:08
  Unreal.
• 5:11
  Bananas.
• 5:15
  I wouldn't know what that feels like,
• 5:17
  but that's a bit of a shit.
• 5:19
  Oh, shit moment.
• 5:22
  Unless you have an interpreter who's
• 5:23
  willing to take the blame.
• 5:28
  Sort of.
• 5:29
  Kind of.
• 5:31
  Kind of took the blame.
• 5:32
  Because for that interpreter to be on top
• 5:35
  of his game,
• 5:36
  he's got to be as fit as possible
• 5:38
  and recover from the interpreting.
• 5:41
  It would help if he looked like he
• 5:43
  had, what was the words?
• 5:45
  He looked like he had touched a dumbbell
• 5:47
  before.
• 5:48
  It would help.
• 5:49
  That would help.
• 5:49
  Yeah.
• 5:50
  A whole lot.
• 5:52
  Mark says,
• 5:52
  I have to use blood tests to detect
• 5:55
  AGH, unfortunately.
• 5:56
  A hundred percent agree with you,
• 5:58
  but that's still, I just...
• 6:03
  probably because I'm not that dude,
• 6:04
  but I cannot fathom using some stuff to
• 6:08
  actively cheat people out of and then
• 6:10
  forgetting it somewhere.
• 6:11
  It seems to be like that should be
• 6:14
  pretty high on the list of priorities so
• 6:16
  that you don't get in the situation you
• 6:18
  are now where people are like, oh yeah,
• 6:20
  look what we found.
• 6:23
  Yeah.
• 6:25
  It was my boyfriend strikes again.
• 6:27
  Absolutely.
• 6:32
  absolutely uh meredith says we forgot my
• 6:36
  daughter's favorite blankie at an airbnb
• 6:38
  once and i was horrified at that dude
• 6:40
  thankfully jennifer accidentally when we
• 6:44
  washed clothes before we came back from
• 6:45
  birmingham accidentally brought one of
• 6:47
  their hand towels back with us and was
• 6:51
  mortified like email the people
• 6:52
  immediately while we're in the car on the
• 6:54
  way back hey i'm so sorry i just
• 6:56
  realized we brought one of your hand a
• 6:57
  hand towel it's this big it costs like
• 6:59
  two bucks
• 7:01
  That's a hand towel.
• 7:02
  Yeah.
• 7:07
  Carolyn brings up that,
• 7:08
  and I don't know if this is still
• 7:09
  the case,
• 7:09
  but there was a time a couple years
• 7:12
  ago where CrossFit would do blood testing
• 7:15
  randomly at competitions.
• 7:18
  And I think it has a better shot
• 7:21
  of picking up the HGH,
• 7:23
  but its life is still so short.
• 7:25
  A hundred percent.
• 7:27
  That it's probably out of your urine
• 7:30
  faster.
• 7:32
  but it's still probably out of your body
• 7:34
  completely very, very fast.
• 7:37
  Yeah.
• 7:39
  I just, again,
• 7:43
  if you know all the rules and you
• 7:45
  know how to play and they're not,
• 7:46
  it's just not economical for them to test
• 7:49
  everybody all the time,
• 7:51
  then you can get away with it if
• 7:53
  you have no morals and just decide that
• 7:55
  that's what you're going to do.
• 7:57
  emeritus says yes i'd be mortified at the
• 7:59
  hand towel as well not saying it's logical
• 8:02
  but oh well yeah we've been back for
• 8:05
  a month dude and like jennifer brought it
• 8:06
  up again yesterday she was like it's part
• 8:10
  of the set she's like i still i
• 8:12
  still haven't heard anything back about
• 8:13
  that hand towel and i said i'm pretty
• 8:15
  sure it's gonna be okay just just throwing
• 8:19
  that out there like
• 8:21
  Yeah, like we as men would just say,
• 8:24
  I'll just get a roll of paper towels,
• 8:25
  throw in the bathroom, we're good to go.
• 8:27
  It'll be fine.
• 8:28
  It'll be absolutely fine.
• 8:29
  Or go to Walmart and buy another
• 8:31
  two-dollar hand towel.
• 8:32
  Yeah,
• 8:32
  or just mail the one back to them.
• 8:34
  We still have their address.
• 8:35
  If you really feel that strongly about it,
• 8:38
  put it in an envelope,
• 8:39
  fold it up nice and neat when it
• 8:41
  comes out the dryer,
• 8:42
  and then mail it on back to them.
• 8:46
  And Karen says, yeah,
• 8:47
  they still do some get urine only,
• 8:49
  some get urine and blood.
• 8:54
  Hexy Lover is going to be cheering for
• 8:56
  Carolyn as we will as well.
• 8:58
  I'll be cheering loud for you.
• 9:02
  But not bloody urine.
• 9:04
  That's a whole different thing.
• 9:07
  Yeah.
• 9:08
  Yeah.
• 9:08
  Nobody wants that.
• 9:09
  No, nobody wants that at all.
• 9:12
  Nobody wants that.
• 9:14
  All right.
• 9:14
  So let's get to the picks because I
• 9:16
  have a one o'clock meeting today.
• 9:17
  Sure.
• 9:18
  So we've got to keep this pretty short
• 9:20
  and tight.
• 9:21
  I know that's hard for us to just
• 9:23
  stay on the rails for twenty minutes.
• 9:26
  But yeah, but we're going to try.
• 9:30
  Mark tested positive for a kidney stone.
• 9:34
  I think he's just joking for the bloody
• 9:35
  urine.
• 9:35
  But yeah.
• 9:37
  uh your panel came back uh pretty pretty
• 9:40
  clean but it looks like you had a
• 9:41
  kidney stone check that out thanks doc uh
• 9:47
  he said he meant bladder stone that
• 9:51
  doesn't even say that sounds yeah neat i
• 9:56
  don't want either nope i certainly don't
• 9:59
  want bladder stone that sounds really bad
• 10:02
  yeah anyway all right so let's do our
• 10:05

  I have my picks written down here because
• 10:40
  I prepared for the show.
• 10:41
  Yeah, well,
• 10:42
  I didn't realize Mad Fit was going on
• 10:43
  this weekend.
• 10:44
  Mad Fitness Festival.
• 10:49
  Please excuse Corey.
• 10:50
  He is still on a Pitbull hangover.
• 10:53
  Still, one day left, two days left.
• 10:55
  Where is it?
• 10:56
  I just saw their roster.
• 10:59
  So it's on Competition Corner if you want
• 11:01
  to pull it up.
• 11:04
  While you're doing that,
• 11:05
  I'm going to go ahead and give him...
• 11:06
  Oh, there we go.
• 11:07
  Colin Bossard.
• 11:08
  Done.
• 11:10
  I didn't even see him on the list.
• 11:12
  Guillaume Brion.
• 11:16
  He's on the list for sure.
• 11:17
  Neither one made my top three, but okay.
• 11:20
  Toby Buckland.
• 11:23
  This is just people that was confirmed.
• 11:24
  I guess that's not necessarily the...
• 11:28
  So I will go ahead and do my
• 11:31
  top three while you're sorting through
• 11:33
  your list.
• 11:34
  You do that.
• 11:37
  And on the men's side,
• 11:40
  third place I'm giving to Jack Farlow.
• 11:44
  Second place I'm giving to Enola Kai.
• 11:48
  And first place, Yonikoski.
• 11:51
  Old man's got one last competition left in
• 11:54
  him.
• 11:56
  One...
• 11:57
  He's not that old.
• 11:58
  He's just been competing since he was
• 11:59
  seven.
• 12:00
  Ever since he was at Fitness Festival.
• 12:03
  Here we go.
• 12:05
  Sorry, y'all.
• 12:06
  As you can tell,
• 12:07
  I was highly prepared for whatever today.
• 12:11
  Adrian Munweiler.
• 12:12
  Yep.
• 12:15
  That's my door course right there.
• 12:19
  Yeah, Guillaume's on there.
• 12:21
  I just got his name backwards.
• 12:23
  Did he qualify out of France?
• 12:27
  Who?
• 12:28
  Guillaume.
• 12:29
  Guillaume Brion.
• 12:30
  No.
• 12:30
  Helen Clements.
• 12:33
  Hexy Lover says, Corey,
• 12:34
  just agree with Scott.
• 12:35
  Yeah, I'm not doing that.
• 12:40
  On the women's side,
• 12:42
  third place is going to Mathilde Garnes.
• 12:47
  Second place, Gabby Magawa.
• 12:50
  First place, Claudia Gluck.
• 12:54
  I want to switch Gabby and Claudia.
• 12:57
  But other than that,
• 12:58
  I think you're pretty spot on as far
• 13:00
  as that's concerned.
• 13:01
  I'm going to go with my – I'm
• 13:04
  just going to buck the system completely.
• 13:06
  Give me Adrian in third.
• 13:09
  Give me – where is the Canadian guy?
• 13:14
  Jack in second.
• 13:16
  And give me Enola Kai.
• 13:20
  To win.
• 13:21
  To win, yep.
• 13:25
  Like I said,
• 13:26
  I think Gabby's going to show up.
• 13:28
  I think she knocked the rust off in
• 13:32
  Cookville.
• 13:35
  And looking at the rest of these right
• 13:36
  now,
• 13:36
  I don't see anything that I'm looking at
• 13:38
  and going, oh, yeah, that looks really,
• 13:39
  I mean, Daewon Young, Elena Carvatala.
• 13:46
  so while you're looking through that i
• 13:48
  think claudia gluck has had an awesome
• 13:50
  semi-final season and she's just fallen
• 13:53
  short and i think this is her time
• 13:57
  to shine oh mcgonigal first event is a
• 14:02
  long run so she will be fighting up
• 14:05
  the leaderboard again well
• 14:09
  I mean,
• 14:09
  maybe she can pad Belner the shit out
• 14:11
  of it.
• 14:13
  Didn't work in France.
• 14:16
  And I think she's going to have a
• 14:18
  hard time catching Gabby, Claudia,
• 14:21
  and Mathilde at that point.
• 14:22
  You're not wrong.
• 14:26
  Because I have her down here as like
• 14:29
  close, but not close enough.
• 14:30
  Yeah, I got that.
• 14:33
  all right uh you want to go to
• 14:35
  eric you are right the endurance event
• 14:37
  does have some machines in it i think
• 14:38
  skierg and row but it's a lot it's
• 14:41
  like three k a running minimum it's not
• 14:46
  that far but still oh you wanna go
• 14:51
  nor nor cow uh sure are you prepared
• 14:54
  for that one nope
• 14:59
  We said yesterday on the show we were
• 15:01
  going to make our picks.
• 15:02
  I know we did.
• 15:03
  I know we did.
• 15:03
  And then I got distracted.
• 15:10
  You're the Tyler to my John.
• 15:12
  A hundred percent.
• 15:13
  John's like super organized.
• 15:15
  He's got all his stuff written down.
• 15:18
  I know I got Bill winning as far
• 15:20
  as NorCal is concerned.
• 15:23
  Okay.
• 15:24
  Mr. Leahy.
• 15:25
  I would...
• 15:27
  I would like to see Jacob punch his
• 15:33
  ticket.
• 15:34
  Okay.
• 15:34
  Your two homer picks.
• 15:36
  Hey, bro.
• 15:37
  You're throwing Samantha Pugh in on the
• 15:39
  women's side too?
• 15:40
  You're damn right I'm throwing Samantha
• 15:41
  Pugh in on the women's side.
• 15:42
  If I didn't,
• 15:42
  she would murder me next time she saw
• 15:44
  me.
• 15:48
  I actually think that it does set up
• 15:50
  pretty decent for her up in North Carolina
• 15:51
  as far as Sam is concerned.
• 15:52
  She's not going to win,
• 15:54
  but I think she can place.
• 15:54
  I think she can punch a ticket up
• 15:56
  there.
• 15:58
  But the curly-haired wonder is going to
• 16:02
  take it.
• 16:02
  I mean, I can't.
• 16:04
  So on the men's side,
• 16:05
  I have Leahy one spot out.
• 16:07
  Third place.
• 16:08
  In third.
• 16:10
  Okay.
• 16:10
  Second place, I have Pat Vellner.
• 16:13
  He seems to have like one good event,
• 16:14
  one bad event,
• 16:15
  one good event at this point in his
• 16:16
  career.
• 16:17
  He's coming off a bad event.
• 16:19
  I think this is going to be good
• 16:20
  for him.
• 16:21
  Fair.
• 16:23
  And Tudor Magna to win by a landslide.
• 16:28
  He's a top ten games athlete, man.
• 16:30
  There's nobody else in the field with his
• 16:31
  credentials.
• 16:33
  I know he is.
• 16:33
  I know he is.
• 16:36
  NorCal has two spots, Vicky.
• 16:39
  I just can't pick against Bill.
• 16:43
  And then on the women's side,
• 16:44
  you have Samantha Pugh and Kazan.
• 16:47
  And Kazan, yeah.
• 16:48
  Kazan to win, Sam Cummings second.
• 16:51
  So I have Alex Kazan to win,
• 16:54
  and then I have,
• 16:56
  because I don't know what the events are,
• 16:58
  I have a tight race with Emily Rolfe
• 17:00
  and Carolyn Prevost.
• 17:01
  I mean, that's fair.
• 17:04
  And it depends on how the events fall,
• 17:08
  who gets the upper hand.
• 17:10
  I'm taking Emily now because NorCal
• 17:13
  traditionally has like a long run of some
• 17:16
  sort at some point during the weekend.
• 17:18
  And I think she can make up a
• 17:19
  lot of ground on Carolyn there.
• 17:21
  But I think the rest of the weekend
• 17:22
  is going to be tight.
• 17:25
  Fair point.
• 17:27
  Fair point.
• 17:30
  Is Tudor athletic enough for the NorCal
• 17:32
  surprises?
• 17:33
  Tudor has done NorCal.
• 17:34
  I think he has dove in and leaned
• 17:38
  into that experience preparing him for
• 17:41
  this year.
• 17:45
  And Tudor has improved so much.
• 17:48
  He's come a long way.
• 17:49
  It's actually been fun to watch him
• 17:50
  because of being able to see him just
• 17:55
  come over and come over and come over
• 17:56
  and get better and better and better as
• 17:58
  he's going, right?
• 17:59
  You've never seen him basically since he
• 18:00
  was a child.
• 18:02
  I mean, to you or not,
• 18:03
  he's still a child.
• 18:05
  Yes, Shay, NorCal is only two spots.
• 18:11
  Yeah,
• 18:11
  the California semis only got two each.
• 18:15
  And I think it is all based on
• 18:17
  trust in the event organizers and
• 18:20
  longevity with the event organizers.
• 18:26
  And NorCal,
• 18:27
  if they lean in to getting help from
• 18:30
  CrossFit, like they said they were,
• 18:32
  and leaning into reaching out to JR and
• 18:36
  Wilson Park,
• 18:37
  then I think by next year they can
• 18:39
  get three spots.
• 18:42
  But after what happened last year,
• 18:44
  they were only trusted with two.
• 18:46
  Yeah, which is fair.
• 18:49
  I will say this.
• 18:50
  If there are,
• 18:50
  because I obviously don't know any events
• 18:52
  either,
• 18:52
  but if there's more athletic type stuff,
• 18:54
  then it helps Carolyn a whole lot.
• 18:56
  Oh, yeah.
• 18:56
  Because she is by far the best natural
• 19:00
  athlete in the field.
• 19:01
  It's not even close.
• 19:02
  Yep.
• 19:04
  Whereas the unknown helps Carolyn.
• 19:05
  A hundred percent.
• 19:08
  Yeah, it's...
• 19:11
  And I really think the WFP experience for
• 19:13
  Carolyn helped a ton.
• 19:16
  Getting her out of the master's mindset
• 19:19
  and back into elite athlete mindset,
• 19:22
  going into this semifinal.
• 19:24
  I like it.
• 19:29
  uh mike mike mark my yeah yeah one
• 19:32
  of that guy mark phillips likes wishart in
• 19:34
  those types of events too i like wishart
• 19:37
  she just hasn't proven to me that she's
• 19:40
  ready to take that step to the the
• 19:42
  top level yet yeah she's right there
• 19:45
  though i i think she's got to unlock
• 19:47
  some stuff and we'll see here we're going
• 19:50
  to see wishart at the games before too
• 19:52
  long i do believe that
• 20:01
  uh let's go carolyn i think that's a
• 20:04
  canadian flag in in wishart will be at
• 20:10
  syndicate yeah i did see that see that's
• 20:14
  another reason like with wilson you can
• 20:15
  really trust what they put out because
• 20:18
  they put out their roster just a day
• 20:20
  or two ago and it is all confirmed
• 20:23
  yeah it is a finalist on instagram you
• 20:26
  can see the whole list
• 20:28
  Yeah, and it's final.
• 20:29
  Like it's, hey,
• 20:31
  this is the list and this is the
• 20:33
  list.
• 20:34
  This is who's coming.
• 20:35
  If you didn't see the behind the scenes
• 20:36
  with Hiller and Wilson Park this morning,
• 20:39
  you should.
• 20:41
  It should be required watching to see what
• 20:44
  the mindset is of Wilson as he's putting
• 20:47
  together an event.
• 20:48
  Yeah, because it's fantastic.
• 20:51
  And Hiller even tries to get him off
• 20:52
  track about programming.
• 20:53
  Yeah.
• 20:54
  And he's like,
• 20:56
  he just plows through and says, well,
• 20:57
  this is where the athletes are leaving.
• 20:59
  Yeah,
• 20:59
  he just completely ignores that question
• 21:01
  and just goes back to me.
• 21:02
  His programming isn't his thing.
• 21:04
  He delegated that to JR and that team,
• 21:08
  and they do what they're supposed to do.
• 21:10
  I love that because he took a breath.
• 21:12
  Like,
• 21:14
  and this is where they're going to come
• 21:15
  up.
• 21:16
  Like, I'm not answering that.
• 21:18
  We're just going to move right along.
• 21:20
  Yeah.
• 21:21
  love wilson everybody knows that he lives
• 21:23
  up the street for me i i cannot
• 21:27
  get enough wilson he is just a a
• 21:29
  one hundred percent grade a dude so
• 21:35
  speaking of syndicate picks here i thought
• 21:40
  it was it's hard
• 21:42
  It is.
• 21:43
  And I do also have a friend who
• 21:46
  is competing there,
• 21:47
  but I'm not picking Brian.
• 21:49
  So just love you, Brian, but sorry.
• 21:53
  So he's the only Homer pick.
• 21:54
  You're not making the only Homer pick.
• 21:56
  I'm not.
• 21:56
  Wow.
• 21:56
  Yeah.
• 21:57
  He's got to feel real good about himself
• 21:59
  right now.
• 22:00
  Wow.
• 22:02
  He's going, I mean,
• 22:03
  he obviously wants to be a games athlete.
• 22:04
  He's incredibly fit, but in this field,
• 22:10
  bless him i love him but i just
• 22:11
  don't see it happening uh but no i
• 22:14
  am on the oddly enough ready for this
• 22:17
  one this is the one i'm watching this
• 22:19
  weekend anyway just because the the norcal
• 22:21
  streams behind flow elite and i don't nope
• 22:23
  i don't know both oh is it elite
• 22:26
  and youtube oh okay well then i'll be
• 22:28
  watching and with the time difference you
• 22:30
  can just bounce back and forth between the
• 22:31
  events yeah yeah that's true that's true
• 22:33
  hey look at holly yeah oh speaking of
• 22:37
  holly
• 22:38
  Dude,
• 22:39
  because the games has not put out a
• 22:41
  list of who qualified for the games.
• 22:45
  She put out a list of everybody in
• 22:47
  the,
• 22:48
  in whatever their qualifying spots were,
• 22:51
  but people are bitching already.
• 22:53
  And I, I've got to protect my,
• 22:55
  my girl.
• 22:58
  CrossFit did nothing.
• 23:00
  Zero zip zilch about anybody other than
• 23:02
  the leaders.
• 23:05
  And people are bitching that she didn't
• 23:06
  sort out the people qualified at other
• 23:08
  events.
• 23:12
  She's doing the best she can.
• 23:14
  She does it free of charge.
• 23:16
  She does it free of charge.
• 23:17
  It's free information.
• 23:20
  That's the same people who have ice that's
• 23:22
  too cold in their drink.
• 23:26
  Complain about the ice being too cold.
• 23:27
  Yeah.
• 23:31
  so crazy yeah that's bananas holly good
• 23:35
  job thank you how about that how about
• 23:38
  a good job and a thank you um
• 23:45
  can you tell us how and where to
• 23:46
  watch everything this weekend please
• 23:50
  syndicate will be live on the spin on
• 23:53
  the spin
• 23:56
  NorCal will be live on both Flow Elite
• 24:00
  and, well, I say live.
• 24:01
  They are attempting to do live from,
• 24:05
  it'll either be on Flow Elite or the
• 24:07
  Savan, the CF Network.
• 24:10
  Sorry, CF Network.
• 24:13
  I do not know where MadFit is on,
• 24:15
  but it is a live stream on YouTube.
• 24:20
  Search MadFit.
• 24:21
  MadFit.com.
• 24:26
  um anyway there it is yep uh i
• 24:33
  put an asterisk on those names ha yeah
• 24:36
  they don't they don't read though they
• 24:38
  just go to the list and you didn't
• 24:42
  hold their hand holly and like bring them
• 24:44
  all the way to it and show them
• 24:46
  hey look this is like they don't read
• 24:50
  past that they just looked at the list
• 24:51
  and they were like well my friend's name
• 24:53
  is not on here and they qualified to
• 24:57
  Shut up.
• 24:59
  Well,
• 24:59
  and I don't think it's because CrossFit
• 25:02
  has not released official information.
• 25:04
  I don't think it's on Holly to determine
• 25:07
  who gets the backfill.
• 25:08
  Pretty sure it's not her responsibility.
• 25:11
  I think that is taking it a step
• 25:12
  further than we want to commit to without
• 25:15
  official word from CrossFit.
• 25:18
  Holly's not doling out game spots at this
• 25:20
  point.
• 25:22
  You get one, you get one,
• 25:24
  you get one.
• 25:26
  And because CrossFit has not made an
• 25:28
  official announcement,
• 25:29
  everybody's left hanging.
• 25:30
  Yeah.
• 25:34
  Anyway, moving right.
• 25:38
  Maybe it is, evil laugh.
• 25:44
  Ladies and gentlemen,
• 25:45
  DataWad is now responsible for tooling out
• 25:48
  Masters GameSpots.
• 25:49
  You heard it here first.
• 25:51
  Maybe it's been covered already,
• 25:52
  just joining.
• 25:53
  What is the scoop about Flow Elite and
• 25:54
  YouTube for NorCal?
• 25:56
  It will be on both.
• 25:57
  It's a vanilla scoop.
• 25:59
  They did not get exclusive to NorCal.
• 26:01
  They're just airing NorCal.
• 26:03
  Correct.
• 26:04
  So it will be airing on both YouTube
• 26:08
  and Flow Elite.
• 26:09
  So if you want to watch it live,
• 26:10
  watch it on YouTube.
• 26:11
  If you want to watch it where it
• 26:12
  says, we're sorry,
• 26:13
  we're having broadcasting issues,
• 26:15
  watch it on Flow Elite.
• 26:16
  I think it's simulcast, to be honest.
• 26:18
  I don't think it's going to be any
• 26:20
  different.
• 26:21
  You're a big fan of watching that.
• 26:22
  If they're having issues on full lead,
• 26:24
  they're probably going to be having
• 26:25
  issues.
• 26:27
  Hey, we're going to find out this weekend.
• 26:28
  We're going to find out tomorrow.
• 26:35
  All right.
• 26:36
  Yeah.
• 26:36
  We're off rails again.
• 26:37
  Okay, syndicate.
• 26:38
  Who are your picks for the men?
• 26:40
  I got Colton taking the whole thing,
• 26:42
  Austin taking second,
• 26:43
  and Saxon Pancheck in third.
• 26:45
  Ooh, I like that.
• 26:47
  Not what I have, but I like it.
• 26:48
  So cool.
• 26:49
  I like my guy Saxon getting a bid.
• 26:52
  Yeah, I do.
• 26:55
  He's incredibly fit.
• 26:57
  He does.
• 26:58
  I mean,
• 26:58
  he is a CrossFitter through through,
• 27:00
  right?
• 27:01
  And these are very much CrossFit events.
• 27:03
  Like there's no kind of wacky, you know,
• 27:05
  weird machines they threw out of nowhere
• 27:07
  and whatnot.
• 27:08
  So I like Saxon pushing his ticket this
• 27:10
  weekend.
• 27:12
  So my order is Colton third.
• 27:14
  Okay.
• 27:15
  Nate Ackerman second.
• 27:16
  Okay.
• 27:18
  Austin half field first.
• 27:22
  I mean, that's fair.
• 27:26
  It's a home field advantage for Austin in
• 27:28
  that venue.
• 27:30
  He brings so many people into Knoxville
• 27:33
  from West Virginia.
• 27:34
  It's a hop, skip and a jump.
• 27:36
  It will be loud for him.
• 27:40
  I think it makes a difference.
• 27:42
  And Colton doesn't give a shit.
• 27:44
  Yeah,
• 27:44
  but Colton always has an event in that
• 27:47
  burpees to a target is high.
• 27:50
  It's not as high as freaking J.O.
• 27:51
  wanted it to be, apparently.
• 27:52
  No, but it's still high.
• 27:54
  Did you see him practice in it?
• 27:55
  Did you see that video he put up
• 27:56
  of him practicing it?
• 27:57
  Yeah.
• 27:57
  Love it, dude.
• 28:02
  Love it.
• 28:02
  Yeah.
• 28:04
  So there.
• 28:05
  That's my picks.
• 28:06
  Sticking to it.
• 28:08
  Ty's a dark horse,
• 28:09
  should be in the mix.
• 28:10
  Of course he's going to be in the
• 28:11
  mix.
• 28:13
  But there's a lot of people that are
• 28:14
  going to be in the mix.
• 28:16
  Yeah.
• 28:18
  Ben Robinson's going to be in the mix.
• 28:21
  Yeah, the men's side is pretty stacked,
• 28:22
  dude.
• 28:25
  The men's side is crazy.
• 28:28
  The women's side...
• 28:32
  So women pick, uh,
• 28:34
  Daniel Brandon taking the whole thing,
• 28:36
  Alexis Raptors taking second.
• 28:39
  And I'm having a problem with third
• 28:42
  because like,
• 28:44
  just because there's so much parody once
• 28:47
  you get down past past those two,
• 28:49
  in my opinion anyway.
• 28:50
  Um, but I'm gonna go Homer and, uh,
• 28:53
  not Homer, but home, home,
• 28:55
  home field advantage and give Haley third.
• 29:00
  So I have DB first, Raptors second,
• 29:03
  and Lydia.
• 29:06
  So I literally on my line right now,
• 29:08
  I have Fish and Adams.
• 29:09
  Okay.
• 29:10
  Yeah.
• 29:11
  That's what I said.
• 29:15
  It is Haley Adams' home field advantage.
• 29:18
  If you've ever been to Knoxville,
• 29:20
  she brings a buttload of people with her.
• 29:25
  Right.
• 29:26
  But Lydia Fish travels well.
• 29:28
  She does.
• 29:29
  The fish heads.
• 29:30
  The fish heads are everywhere.
• 29:32
  They get out of town.
• 29:33
  Yeah.
• 29:34
  So I think at this point,
• 29:35
  I'm going to take fish.
• 29:37
  I just don't trust Haley yet.
• 29:41
  Since she came back,
• 29:42
  I just haven't seen that same fire,
• 29:47
  that same whatever.
• 29:50
  I think at Mayhem...
• 29:55
  having a bad event like you know coming
• 29:58
  out winning the first one and like blowing
• 30:00
  everybody out the water and then
• 30:01
  immediately having a terrible event with
• 30:03
  gwen got in her head and i think
• 30:06
  it ruined her for the rest of the
• 30:07
  weekend she can battle back out of that
• 30:09
  i think she'll be fine this weekend uh
• 30:15
  daniel says i don't think home field
• 30:17
  advantage applies to the sport i think it
• 30:19
  does
• 30:20
  i think if you've got a crowd behind
• 30:21
  you and it's people that you know and
• 30:23
  i mean you can feel that kind of
• 30:25
  stuff dude like it you can dig deeper
• 30:30
  and i thought stuff you didn't know you
• 30:31
  had
• 30:32
  It depends on who you are as an
• 30:33
  athlete, whether that affects you or not.
• 30:37
  There are some athletes like Colton,
• 30:39
  if they booed him,
• 30:40
  he would feed off of it.
• 30:43
  I think Colton would probably do better if
• 30:44
  they booed him when he got on the
• 30:46
  floor.
• 30:48
  I think Matt Frazier would do better if
• 30:50
  he was booed.
• 30:53
  But I do think there are people who
• 30:56
  don't have that mindset as drilled in as
• 30:59
  those guys that will feed off of a
• 31:03
  positive environment.
• 31:04
  Yeah.
• 31:07
  Noah, dude.
• 31:10
  The year he was in the War of
• 31:11
  the Leaders jersey and finally for a day
• 31:14
  or two, however long that was,
• 31:16
  people were getting behind Noah and he was
• 31:19
  eating it up.
• 31:20
  To the point where he went back to
• 31:22
  being an old Noah and blew up on
• 31:23
  an event simply because he was just
• 31:26
  feeding it.
• 31:26
  He feeds off that crowd so much.
• 31:31
  Jody says, Haley competed at Mayhem.
• 31:34
  That's her home gym.
• 31:35
  How is being in it's actually Knoxville
• 31:38
  going to improve her chances?
• 31:40
  She brings so many people to Knoxville.
• 31:43
  I don't know if they show up,
• 31:46
  they show out at Mayhem like they do
• 31:49
  in Knoxville.
• 31:50
  there's no room in knoxville it is
• 31:53
  craziness i don't think there's enough
• 31:55
  room at mayhem to have that many
• 31:57
  spectators and knoxville is closer to
• 32:00
  north carolina her true hometown right um
• 32:10
  jy said it best haley will never be
• 32:11
  the same she has to go to a
• 32:13
  dark place and she is too bright nowadays
• 32:15
  not a bad thing but just saying i
• 32:18
  don't
• 32:20
  You have to learn the switch,
• 32:23
  and I think she's still finding that.
• 32:25
  I'm not saying she's done forever,
• 32:28
  but I do think you have to learn
• 32:32
  to find the switch.
• 32:34
  She needs that.
• 32:34
  Remember that video of Sarah
• 32:36
  Sigmundsdorfer where she's all smiling and
• 32:38
  happy and whatnot,
• 32:39
  and as soon as they say, stand by,
• 32:41
  and all of a sudden you just see
• 32:42
  her face change.
• 32:44
  she goes from happy smiling sarah to like
• 32:46
  locked in i'm fixing to go destroy this
• 32:48
  event sarah haley needs that switch that
• 32:51
  kind of switch to go okay nothing else
• 32:54
  matters right now but this barbell or
• 32:56
  whatever it is that's in front of me
• 32:58
  and i think like that's going to be
• 33:00
  a little bit of i don't say a
• 33:01
  fight but like it's going to be a
• 33:03
  little bit different for her to be able
• 33:04
  to find exactly that
• 33:07
  SEMA,
• 33:07
  I don't think you can have any kind
• 33:09
  of eating disorder and do well in this
• 33:11
  sport.
• 33:11
  You have to go to the dark place
• 33:12
  too much, and that messes with your brain.
• 33:20
  I don't know.
• 33:22
  I am definitely not an expert in this
• 33:23
  arena to be able to.
• 33:25
  Not even close.
• 33:27
  But I understand what you're saying.
• 33:30
  Would Hopper do better if booed?
• 33:34
  No.
• 33:34
  I don't think so.
• 33:37
  No.
• 33:37
  He is too aware of what's going on
• 33:39
  around him.
• 33:41
  Jacob, he gets booed now.
• 33:44
  Yeah, I...
• 33:49
  He said he anticipated it French and was
• 33:51
  surprised he didn't get more of it.
• 33:54
  They were so happy to see the champ
• 33:55
  in Europe.
• 33:56
  It wasn't South America.
• 34:00
  It wasn't South America.
• 34:01
  If he had gotten in South America,
• 34:03
  then he got booed a lot.
• 34:08
  I love J-Way.
• 34:09
  Why?
• 34:09
  But he writes off athletes too easily and
• 34:11
  acts as if they owe him something to
• 34:13
  change his mind.
• 34:18
  To be fair,
• 34:19
  John Young says this person is washed a
• 34:23
  lot.
• 34:24
  He does.
• 34:25
  Most famously with my coach,
• 34:28
  who he called washed up.
• 34:30
  live on camera somewhere and Brandon made
• 34:32
  a shirt out of it and then proceeded
• 34:34
  to go back to the games as an
• 34:34
  individual.
• 34:36
  So... There's that.
• 34:43
  Yeah,
• 34:46
  I don't disagree with the comment about
• 34:49
  giving up on athletes too quick.
• 34:51
  I'm not sure that in his heart he
• 34:53
  does that.
• 34:54
  I think he does it for...
• 34:57
  his analysis part for him it's very black
• 35:01
  and white these numbers and it and it
• 35:04
  is he has to be dismissive
• 35:07
  of his heart during those selections to do
• 35:12
  what he feels is right on the the
• 35:15
  picks yeah most of the people he washes
• 35:17
  off well washes off calls washed up or
• 35:20
  whatever he was quick to say after that
• 35:22
  like i really like him and i really
• 35:24
  wish it wouldn't be like this but looking
• 35:27
  at this you know whatever he's talking
• 35:28
  about at the time they're just not they
• 35:30
  don't have it anymore and that's his
• 35:33
  opinion
• 35:35
  uh tessa says that is presumptions haley i
• 35:37
  believe is recovering i'm not trying to
• 35:40
  make any assumptions as to why i don't
• 35:42
  trust her but as an athlete on the
• 35:44
  floor going by what i've seen in her
• 35:46
  performances i can't trust her and she's
• 35:51
  going to perform as she should like that's
• 35:53
  what scott is trying to say like he
• 35:55
  doesn't trust that she's going to get out
• 35:56
  there and perform like the haley that we
• 35:58
  all know and love before she went away
• 36:02
  and to be fair when we take care
• 36:03
  of herself
• 36:05
  As a human being, right?
• 36:08
  And then came back different because she
• 36:10
  is different.
• 36:12
  And she needed to be.
• 36:14
  Well,
• 36:15
  there was three years ago where you could
• 36:17
  say Haley's a lock to go to the
• 36:19
  games.
• 36:20
  A hundred percent.
• 36:21
  I don't think you can say that anymore.
• 36:23
  Regardless of anything else in her life,
• 36:26
  her performance on the floor is she's not
• 36:30
  a lock anymore.
• 36:31
  Yep.
• 36:42
  does jy do hot takes because they're hot
• 36:45
  it could be fun to suggest a backwards
• 36:47
  prediction just to ruffle feathers i think
• 36:51
  he makes hot takes all the time he
• 36:53
  does
• 36:55
  He does.
• 36:57
  And if you tried to ruffle his feathers
• 36:58
  like that,
• 37:00
  it's a fifty-fifty shot whether he'd take
• 37:02
  the bait or not.
• 37:03
  And it really depends on what kind of
• 37:05
  mood he's in.
• 37:06
  Because I've seen him going back and forth
• 37:10
  with them dudes and just going, like,
• 37:15
  I'm not even listening to you right now.
• 37:17
  Just keep going and saying what he's
• 37:19
  saying.
• 37:19
  And I've seen him actually having fun with
• 37:21
  it and be like, you crazy.
• 37:24
  That's not even close to being right.
• 37:29
  Well,
• 37:29
  as much as I truly want to stay
• 37:31
  and talk to you guys,
• 37:32
  I have to go to a stupid meeting,
• 37:34
  and that is in five minutes.
• 37:36
  So with that,
• 37:39
  your biggest hot take for a surprise
• 37:41
  qualifier this weekend?
• 37:46
  I don't think it's a huge hot take,
• 37:47
  but I think Carolyn Prevost could qualify
• 37:49
  this weekend as a Masters athlete for the
• 37:52
  second year in a row.
• 37:57
  And my other hot take on the men's
• 37:59
  side is Quinn Robinson could qualify in a
• 38:03
  stacked syndicate field.
• 38:08
  It's going to be fun to watch either
• 38:10
  way.
• 38:13
  Those are my hot takes.
• 38:17
  So with that,
• 38:18
  got to go to my meeting.
• 38:20
  Hope you guys have a great rest of
• 38:22
  your day.
• 38:23
  And we'll hopefully be live tomorrow from
• 38:27
  the Syndicate.
• 38:27
  With that,
• 38:28
  we'll catch everybody tomorrow on Lunch
• 38:30
  with the Clydesdale.
• 38:31
  I wouldn't wait to get to the editing
• 38:32
  room to jazz me up.
• 38:35
  I'm already jazzy.
• 38:46
  From the gym to the screen, yeah,
• 38:48
  we covered it all.
