- 0:51You thought we withdrew, but no, we're here.
- 0:53We are no late withdraws on this show.
- 0:57Tyler, what's going on there? Is that Is that your alter ego?
- 1:01No. OK, so it's my regular ego.
- 1:05Fair enough. OK.
- 1:08What's the first ego called? If you have an alter ego, what's
- 1:11the other one called? Your ego.
- 1:14The ego, I'm just my super ego all the time now is.
- 1:18He still going I. Don't know.
- 1:22Melanie Hodge, She's been a member since before we started
- 1:26the show. Evening, Boys.
- 1:29He is still going. Jeez.
- 1:33What is it he he really doesn't like John Wood.
- 1:37Oh yeah, don't pay no attention. That shows full of facts.
- 1:42I I am for you, John. John's cool.
- 1:47We'll get to that probably. Maybe I'm Team John.
- 1:51If you want to. I would love to get to that
- 1:53because it's, it's just, it's there's so much meat on the
- 1:56bone. There's 3 1/2 hours of meat on
- 1:58the bone not. Gonna lie.
- 1:59It's hard to get through it all but but.
- 2:02It's like a it's like a Rogan episode.
- 2:04Yeah, but when it's clipped, we're like, oh, that was like,
- 2:07you know, there's meaningful parts clipped.
- 2:09Taco Bell. Yeah, like, I mean, I like these
- 2:11are good points. It's just I I do think it needs
- 2:14to be clipped to be palatable. Well, that's the thing about
- 2:17that show. It is it was hella clippable.
- 2:20There was so many Nuggets all littered all over it.
- 2:22And every time, like I would start to zone out, John or or
- 2:26Hiller would pop off. I'm going to call him Wood.
- 2:29Wood would pop off with something really good.
- 2:35That's fair. First, real quick, Grant Griffin
- 2:38holding up the the algorithm. Over on Instagram he was
- 2:41throwing out comments arguing back and forth.
- 2:45I think he was arguing with Sprague and even Medeiros.
- 2:49So. Thanks.
- 2:50Holding it down, Grant. Yeah, that's my boy.
- 2:53Appreciate it. No, I thought I without even
- 2:57getting into the specifics of that, I listen to the one with
- 3:02the guy that's working with him on Hill or fit programming.
- 3:06Oh yeah, he's good. Like the long form, it's one of
- 3:11those things where you can just literally just put it on a
- 3:13podcast form, drive around and listen to it.
- 3:16And it's not, it's different than the John Wood one because
- 3:19John tries to get into some of the deeper stuff.
- 3:21But like a lot of these longer form videos that Hiller is
- 3:25doing, just throw it on Spotify and drive and you just hear it
- 3:31and it's like a good long form content that you can listen to.
- 3:35I mean, obviously I'd listen to our stuff if it wasn't ours, but
- 3:39second in line, I'd listen to Hiller and, and all that that
- 3:42stuff. So go check out the Hiller cast.
- 3:45The Wood podcast was like a if it was like a fight companion.
- 3:49I don't I don't ever like those the MMA shows that Rogan does.
- 3:52I just kind of, yeah, you know it for those, not that it's not
- 3:57a good show, but for those who aren't like super deep into into
- 4:00some of the stuff, it's it's a fight companion for those who
- 4:03get the get. Are you into that?
- 4:05It's definitely worth it. Right.
- 4:08No. I mean, I think the
- 4:10misconception is whoever you have on the show, you're going
- 4:12to agree with or should agree with.
- 4:15Right. Right.
- 4:16And so it's not, it doesn't matter who's on the show,
- 4:19whether it's wood, whether it's anybody else.
- 4:22I mean, we had the AFJ judge on there after they screwed up.
- 4:26Was it semifinals? Last.
- 4:27Last. Year.
- 4:29Like we didn't agree with everything that they do, but it
- 4:32gives them a voice and lets them talk.
- 4:33And you can agree or disagree with it.
- 4:35And you know, I, I don't, I don't mind listening to it.
- 4:40And we had James on and we disagreed with CrossFit, so.
- 4:47Wow, Tyler's over there playing some music.
- 4:50Hey Main. Dog, it reminds me of Kyra
- 4:52Milligan. Did you watch any of that on the
- 4:53CrossFit Sport of Fitness podcast this afternoon with
- 4:57Chase? What happened?
- 5:00Tell us about it. Kyra and Austin were on, you
- 5:02know, as the as the quarterfinal winners and Kyra's dog, I assume
- 5:05it's rogue, was just like crying in the background.
- 5:08Like every once in a while you just hear those.
- 5:13Yeah, just kept on going. So Miss Watkins BS smack talking
- 5:21Taco Bell. I think Taylor's tracking out.
- 5:24Wait until you see me defend AP 5 layer.
- 5:27Amen Jeanette and that's and that's the JY barbell talking
- 5:30talking through her. It's just it's starting to seep
- 5:33in and they'll the bottom of the JY Barbell pyramid starts with
- 5:37Taco Bell and that is how you get strong I.
- 5:40Thought it was McDonald's or is that?
- 5:42It's whatever. Trash, it's all down here.
- 5:45Yeah, yeah. Taco Bell's a stable once a week
- 5:48in this house. Yeah.
- 5:50I'm not going to, I'm not going to down you.
- 5:53Jay, why you bring any of those shirts to Mayhem?
- 5:55You're not even going, are you? I will not be at Mayhem, no, but
- 5:59I tell you what, I might do a pre-order on syndicate and I
- 6:02will if you're kind of come at Syndicate like just let me know
- 6:05and I will bring. I will bring whatever is asked
- 6:09of me and no more. No what?
- 6:10About what about crescendo? We sure we do crescendo too.
- 6:14Just let me know beforehand and I'll bring it out.
- 6:17Yeah, John's mic is too loud. That's odd.
- 6:22What? How about?
- 6:23Magnus, maybe you should just lower.
- 6:26Me. John, when you talk, when you're
- 6:28listening. You could do that.
- 6:30Just have the have the volume on standby.
- 6:35Two days till Mayhem. We got got some stuff to cover.
- 6:39We'll do some viewer comments here in a second.
- 6:41Castro versus Crouch, we'll get into a little bit of that.
- 6:46Then we get into what you guys really came for.
- 6:48John's predictions for Mayhem, a little new game, Name that
- 6:53athlete. We'll see how good you guys are
- 6:55naming an athlete, and then we'll talk a little bit about
- 6:58Legends, which is coming up next weekend.
- 7:01And man, it's a hot mess. Boy, this week is fun, ain't it?
- 7:06Yeah, and I I did have to decline the last minute invite
- 7:09to Mayhem when Hopper was through.
- 7:12So they, they reached out and, you know, I said, unfortunately
- 7:17I can't because. I've heard they have a a
- 7:20backfill already coming. Well, it's not me so.
- 7:24It's the guy that got last place last year is going to.
- 7:27No. No shot, no see.
- 7:28Grant. Ale, who says.
- 7:30Kale. Kale's going to be back.
- 7:33I think I could beat Kale with a hernia A.
- 7:37Hernia. What happened there, John?
- 7:39I have I have surgery tomorrow at 10.
- 7:43What did you do? Blues Wiener out.
- 7:45I'm is. That what a hernia is.
- 7:48It's around there, it's around there.
- 7:51I'm actually really mad because I didn't have any like sensation
- 7:54or like pop moment. In your.
- 7:57There was no like moment. There usually is.
- 8:00I didn't have like a heat warning or anything like that.
- 8:03I was. I was you.
- 8:04Got a temperature gain on. It no, because sometimes it gets
- 8:08hot. It gets hot down there and that
- 8:09means a hernia is about to happen and that's when you cut
- 8:12it off. Is this a code word for
- 8:13something or are we I don't. Think you guys have ever lifted
- 8:15heavy enough to feel this but like this happens when you lift
- 8:18heavy is that is you You sometimes you get a burn and you
- 8:23need to stop immediately. Sounds dangerous.
- 8:25But I didn't even get, I didn't even get a heat warning so.
- 8:29Like like. I thought I was fine.
- 8:32I'm I'm guessing I did it with the back squat.
- 8:35The last heavy thing I did. It was just like a routine
- 8:38strength building session. Like it wasn't nothing stupid,
- 8:44it wasn't. It was just this is what we have
- 8:46today on our strength building phase.
- 8:49I think the last set was 445 for three and it was totally fine.
- 8:54Everything went fine. Didn't think anything of it.
- 8:57Woke up the next day and I kind of felt something down there but
- 8:59wasn't bad and then all I did was all I did was like upper
- 9:02body stuff that day so didn't have to worry about it.
- 9:06Woke up on Friday and it hurt and then I looked down there and
- 9:13you know, we had a beautiful V taper on the left side and on
- 9:16the right side there is a bulge and I'm like this sucks.
- 9:21I have a hurt. And then luckily Leslie knew one
- 9:26of the a surgeon and he goes, well, we'll look at you on
- 9:28Wednesday and we can get you surgery on Friday.
- 9:31See, Dad knows. Dad knows.
- 9:34They just go in there and they kind of like pushes it back in
- 9:37and put a. They do just put mesh over top
- 9:40yes, but they they do like they like cut in your stomach.
- 9:43It's like 3 different holes that they do They don't.
- 9:46It's not what I how I thought it was going to go, but you know
- 9:48like I'm like people who lift really heavy like they
- 9:51understand what I'm saying with the heat warning stuff.
- 9:53It it's funny that y'all have no idea what I'm talking about No.
- 9:58I, I, I thought I had one once. I I feel like it.
- 10:03It's like it's I. Can beat warning stuff all the
- 10:05time like it's. What was funny about when you
- 10:09texted us that you got a hernia, you were like like basically
- 10:12that you didn't see it coming, but like if you if you go
- 10:14backwards, if you rewind, you had said something about like
- 10:17the volume was hitting you hard, like the OR the the intensity
- 10:21was hitting you hard and I. Was like had no, I had no idea
- 10:23what. Was going to happen.
- 10:24Not in my groin. So like last year it worked out
- 10:28so well where like October, really September, September till
- 10:35March, I don't touch a barbell unless it's in a workout.
- 10:40I don't lift at all. And then the weakest I am is
- 10:44when the open is, that's the weakest I am.
- 10:46And then once the open is over, I start lifting again.
- 10:53And then it's like all lifting. Once quarterfinals is over, it's
- 10:56just lifting. And then I, I still do a workout
- 10:59like a day, but it's like 10 minute workout.
- 11:02Everything else is lifted. We're not working on skills,
- 11:04we're not trying to be fit. We're trying to be the strongest
- 11:06that I can be. And I do that until August and
- 11:10I'll get the fittest I've ever been at March and then the
- 11:13strongest I've ever been in August.
- 11:15And I just kind of do it in blocks and like in July.
- 11:18I still bike all the time. But last year it worked out so
- 11:22well. And like you tell me, if it
- 11:24didn't work out well, like I'm pretty fit and I was super
- 11:27strong during grid bleed, right? And then this year, three weeks
- 11:30into the strength block, my body, my body couldn't, couldn't
- 11:36so. How long are you out?
- 11:37Does that mean grid's grid's over?
- 11:39No, no, the I will miss the first match and then I should be
- 11:43OK for the second match. Second match is late June so I
- 11:47should be able to do that. I should be able to do online
- 11:50semi finals, you know, if enough people withdraw, I should be
- 11:55able to do syndicate. So yeah.
- 12:00Yeah, OK. You're good for You're good for
- 12:03Crescendo, though. Yeah, I'm good for crescendo and
- 12:06and two, two weeks. So two weeks after surgery.
- 12:08No, no, no, no, 2, two weeks after surgery.
- 12:11I can do any cardio, I just can't lift.
- 12:14So essentially I'll be training for semi finals because I've
- 12:17just been trying to get super. I'll just be doing a lot of
- 12:20fitness. Fair enough.
- 12:22I had a buddy when we did did CrossFit.
- 12:25Started CrossFit in the Y. The guy joined us.
- 12:28And do you remember Khalifa's? I can't remember.
- 12:31They call it the man test or something.
- 12:33It was like 100 hang squat clean thrusters with five burpees
- 12:37every minute. Yeah.
- 12:38Hotel Hell did the. Hotel workout.
- 12:40Yeah. And so we all did it.
- 12:44And our buddy Henry, who was older at the time, a little bit
- 12:47older, not not super old, decided to do it.
- 12:50And it was on a Friday and he came in on Mondays like boys.
- 12:52I got a hernia. That sucks.
- 12:55So he was out for a while. That's a little while to get it
- 12:58from like repeated. It's not like a heavy, a heavy
- 13:04thing. It's like just a whole bunch of
- 13:05reps. But you're like doing that weird
- 13:07like bend over thing and, and coming up.
- 13:09I could see it happening that way, yeah.
- 13:11We were pretty new at the time too, so it was it was bad.
- 13:13Form was peak. Yeah, definitely, for sure.
- 13:17All right, viewer comments. Here we go.
- 13:21First up at Boss Man Australia. Was looking forward to syndicate
- 13:26before, should be even better now.
- 13:28James is commentating. That's why we got him.
- 13:33We needed some extra help and. And I'm we're excited.
- 13:38James will carry the torch and and make sure that we're a
- 13:40little bit more professional than otherwise without him.
- 13:45Next up at Dalton Bland, can we agree John doesn't know how to
- 13:51ask a question? Can we have an episode where you
- 13:54get him a tutor that teaches him what a question versus a
- 13:58statement is? I have a question for Dalton.
- 14:02Do you, I just, I just want to let you know that I, I think
- 14:06you're pretty trash. That's.
- 14:10It John's, John's questions are built into a monologue.
- 14:13It's it takes a little while to figure them out, but you, you
- 14:17know, you, you pick it up. Yeah, he no worries.
- 14:19I mean, he, he definitely clarified my question last week.
- 14:23Like I think everybody, I think everybody was confused until
- 14:26John helped like make sure everybody was on the same page
- 14:29of that question. I asked James a question.
- 14:33John answers it first. James never answered it.
- 14:37When was this last week? Because last week, I can't
- 14:41remember what question it was about, really.
- 14:43Oh, it was like, you know, if we were going to do Rep or like a
- 14:46Max, you know what Rep range is appropriate in the open.
- 14:50Never, never gotten that bad this day on the bench, James.
- 14:54No, that's, that's, that's my fault.
- 14:56That's my, that's fair. I, I, I it's a work in progress.
- 14:59I'm sorry. We love you anyway.
- 15:03Yeah, Next up at Kyle Dotson, they should do another version
- 15:06of the Capital at the games, but with more heavy elements.
- 15:13I don't think it needs more. That worked out.
- 15:16Was perfect the way it was, yeah.
- 15:18Yeah. Speaking of that, do you think
- 15:23they'll do anything outside this year?
- 15:27Outside, if they, if they do, if they do the ranch, which I think
- 15:29people are, it feels like that's what's going to happen on
- 15:32Thursday. This is a good segue or, or
- 15:36tangentially related to like what the CAC is doing and what
- 15:40Seth said that the CAC was involved with now, which is like
- 15:42the season reprogramming or restructuring and all that
- 15:46stuff. I think, I think they've been
- 15:48wounded by this season a little more than they let on.
- 15:52And so like, the fact that they're talking to the CAC about
- 15:56restructuring the season and that they finally realized that
- 15:59it's the absolute garbage the way the season is going.
- 16:03I mean, we're not like, we really haven't even started the
- 16:06season. It starts Friday.
- 16:10For for the the true games, yeah.
- 16:13Like the season is over for. The Vast.
- 16:17Majority of people who aren't real in the sport.
- 16:20Yeah. And so the fact that they're
- 16:22already like they, they're talking to CAC about that, I
- 16:25think that they, they got their eyes on the fact that like, hey,
- 16:28people are really upset we didn't go outside last year and
- 16:32ticket sales don't do seem to be doing awesome.
- 16:34Dude, I don't know if it's cares.
- 16:38Who gives a shit about ticket sales?
- 16:40He's he's, he's dude. I, I'm, I'm, he's the one who
- 16:43programs. I don't think he cares.
- 16:47I hear you. I hear you, Tyler.
- 16:49I'm on your side. I think we all can agree with
- 16:52that I. I They're so dumb, aren't they?
- 16:55I I also hear Standy. I feel like you lost the vet to
- 16:58Jeanette or something. But no, I don't think Dave
- 17:04cares. That's fair.
- 17:08I think he's going to do what he wants to do.
- 17:11I do you think it's that or he's just handcuffed in that he can't
- 17:16do like do you think if it if it was 100, if there is no money,
- 17:21if there is no money and he could have Madison every year
- 17:24from now on, do you think he'd stay there or do you think he
- 17:26likes the inside arena element where he can travel around?
- 17:33John, you go first because I'm going to.
- 17:37I like to think that he would want to travel around and but if
- 17:40he's handcuffed, then he should say he's handcuffed and it would
- 17:46avert a lot of criticism. And I don't think he should have
- 17:50a pride in saying that he's handcuffed.
- 17:52Like he should just be like, look, this is what we have this
- 17:55year. This is.
- 17:55And I'm going to do, we're going to do the best that we can.
- 17:57And I'm excited for what we have.
- 17:59I'm excited for what we're going to bring everybody.
- 18:02It's going to be awesome. He'd never be that.
- 18:04He's a. Player.
- 18:05He's a team player. But who is he playing with?
- 18:08He he's playing for his team, which is HQ.
- 18:11The SAP Center like that, you're what are you handcuffed by?
- 18:15Money, Berkshire saying you don't, you can't spend this much
- 18:18money. If you're handcuffed by
- 18:20Berkshire, you should not have an ego about saying that we're
- 18:24handcuffed. By you got to let you got to
- 18:25make the team look as good as you can.
- 18:28In the process, you make yourself look terrible.
- 18:32It is what it is. Isn't that the like the
- 18:34military? Company man.
- 18:37Well then I don't think he cares enough to to say the truth.
- 18:41And that. Is why he doesn't care enough to
- 18:46say the truth or he does straight up he's just going to
- 18:48do what he wants and he doesn't care about the feedback.
- 18:51Last week I made that post last week.
- 18:54Hey, Dave, remember who you are. Oh yeah, because he used to be
- 18:57great dude. And I had, Well, yeah, but he
- 18:59had, he had Greg to back him up. He had Greg and he had cash and
- 19:02he could say anything he wanted and have no.
- 19:06Imagine if Dave was like, dude, I don't have the money.
- 19:09I can't do what I want to do. This sucks.
- 19:11You're going to get the best that I you know what I can do is
- 19:14he had. Figured it out back.
- 19:15Then but but old Marty would walk, would drive on over to
- 19:18from Boston all the way out to to the ranch and be like pack
- 19:23your box. Yeah.
- 19:26Like you're you're out of here. And that's why I think I, I, I
- 19:30made that post because I think he actually is being controlled
- 19:35by Berkshire a lot more than people want to admit they all
- 19:38are. And so I like John, you're
- 19:40saying like, you know, you're not doing the righteous thing.
- 19:45Like to me, like you kind of got to call it out and be like, Hey,
- 19:49what you know, either this needs to change or I'm out because to
- 19:54me at this point, like it say he's playing the long game and
- 19:59he's like I I want to stay in CrossFit long enough to like so
- 20:02when I come through on the other side like I can right the ship
- 20:06dude, what's going to be left in four years if we continue on the
- 20:08trajectory we're on? Nobody's interested in the
- 20:11programming. Nobody's interested in the
- 20:12season. We can't sell tickets to
- 20:13anything. Cool.
- 20:14Hold hold on to those cards there, bud.
- 20:18Like what are we doing? So he.
- 20:19Just got CEO, he's waiting till he's the CEO.
- 20:22That ain't going to happen either.
- 20:25I don't think becoming I, I, you know, and we don't know.
- 20:28We don't know anything. It's just our opinion, but.
- 20:32We know everything, John. For the games to be the best
- 20:36that it is it it it shouldn't just be all inside or what last
- 20:41year's was or you know, it needs to be good programming.
- 20:46Unlike 2024. I thought 2025 was good
- 20:48programming, but you're just like you guys said, it lacks the
- 20:53excitement or that. Like go back to old wood posted
- 20:57a video was wood about the the zigs?
- 21:02It was like the Sprint the back with Bailey.
- 21:04Yeah, it wasn't the zigzag, was it?
- 21:08I think so. But that's outside too.
- 21:11Right. And I said we can't do that
- 21:12anymore. Try to do it inside.
- 21:16And it's like, well, you can do other things.
- 21:18You'll get Turfedo inside. Yeah, the good old and I said
- 21:23hard, hard to do this inside an arena.
- 21:24I got 18 replies to it. And I mean, one of them was John
- 21:28Woods said plenty of ways to test sprinting on a basketball
- 21:31court. No, like you could do shuttle
- 21:34run. That's those are shuttle runs
- 21:35and those are boring. Yeah, Shuttle.
- 21:37Runs are. Boring.
- 21:38Like sprinting down a a soccer stadium slash football field and
- 21:46doing a zigzag and doing hurdles and all that stuff is cool.
- 21:50Running back and forth 80 feet is dumb.
- 21:54Like people have like traumatic memories of being in gym class
- 21:59and running like, you know, shuttle runs or basketball and
- 22:01doing shuttle runs. And it's like, oh, you know, you
- 22:04put us on TV. Look, guys, look what you can
- 22:06do. Go back to your worst moments of
- 22:08basketball if you. If you want to watch that
- 22:10actually the World Fitness project, their team event
- 22:12programming, one of the events is the suicide sprints down 9
- 22:19yards, down 18 yards, down 27 or meters I guess, and then did.
- 22:23It trade off or? No, it's like one person goes,
- 22:27the other person goes, the other person goes, the other person
- 22:29goes. I think.
- 22:30I don't know that's why. I'm saying like, do you?
- 22:31Tag but it's boring. I don't know.
- 22:33But either way, like that's boring.
- 22:35It'd be kind of cool if you could like come across tag, like
- 22:38I tag and John, John takes off. That's a real race.
- 22:42But I mean it is a little boring in the gasser sense.
- 22:45I mean, I still think you could test sprinting like you could
- 22:48have like a 7 foot wall in the middle of the arena and just
- 22:53like from one side of the arena to the other side of the arena
- 22:57321 go and you just got running, you got to run and get over the
- 23:00wall, right? And that's.
- 23:01It takes too long to to construct and tear that down
- 23:04when you have one floor. It's engineering.
- 23:09John takes a while dude if. Roe can just put up a whole rig
- 23:12in a day. Like, I don't, I don't think
- 23:14that takes that long to do. It's engineering, John.
- 23:20Put up. 2 poles and just say you got to get over this pole.
- 23:26That's too dangerous. Stack a couple boxes up like.
- 23:30No, no, I can't do that. No, that's The thing is you
- 23:33can't. When you had North Park and you
- 23:36had the Colosseum, you could put stuff out down North Park.
- 23:40You could do it and then you could go go inside and do the
- 23:43rest of the stuff. Like you could have it all set
- 23:44up and then you don't have to worry about changing it until
- 23:46overnight when you have one little floor.
- 23:50It all has to play together. I mean, think about a gym, like
- 23:53most gyms run with the same program all day long, the same
- 23:57piece all day long. And so they set the gym and
- 23:59then, you know, at the end of the day, they take it all down.
- 24:01Imagine setting up for, you know, a different class, a
- 24:05different program, every single a different workout, every
- 24:08single class. You'd want to die at the end.
- 24:10Well, that's why you have freaking teams for this man.
- 24:13All right, Hopper, grab a box. We got to put these up.
- 24:16Yeah, put your take your stuff down when you're when you're
- 24:19done with it. That's why the floor is always
- 24:23like empty on the last day. Like they don't they have the
- 24:25they have the rig on middle of the week or, you know, Friday or
- 24:28Saturday and then Sunday it was open because they don't need it.
- 24:34Right. Anyway, next comment Alyssa
- 24:37Helm, are there possibly just too many semifinals events?
- 24:42Like let's say that CrossFit only picks 4 events that they
- 24:45say are sensual semifinals and just offer more spots out of
- 24:49them. That sounds like what, 2020?
- 24:52Possibly too many semifinals events.
- 24:55So instead of having 10 like this year, just have 4.
- 24:59No, that's the wrong direction. You need more.
- 25:05We need more as as like and it's crazy.
- 25:08I understand that that sounds asinine, like we're not selling
- 25:11tickets to the one we have. So make more like.
- 25:14That does sound stupid, but it it it is the case.
- 25:18They tried that and it was bad. It was so bad.
- 25:21What to have fewer? Have fewer Yeah people.
- 25:26Aren't going to travel. No.
- 25:28For that, like you need a regional based system where
- 25:33people can go to people aren't willing to travel multiple
- 25:40states across and spend all their spend all that time.
- 25:43They're going to spend their money once, right?
- 25:46If, if they go to the CrossFit Games and if we go to
- 25:48Ticketmaster, you don't want to because it's, it's a little
- 25:51bleak. Ticket sales are not so hot.
- 25:54So yeah, I I don't like the idea of going fewer events that also
- 26:01lower reduces the number of people that can go.
- 26:04Yeah, it does. We want more people to have the
- 26:07experience of going to semifinals or regionals or
- 26:09whatever you want to call it, that stage of in person
- 26:12competitions. Just saw this one at hunting
- 26:16cardio bunnies. That's a good profile photo.
- 26:19Might be handcuffed on money but Berkshire doesn't even know
- 26:23there is programming. That is all, Dave.
- 26:29I'm beginning to think more and more against what you're saying
- 26:33here. I could totally see them during
- 26:35the open, but at at the very most during the open being like
- 26:39don't program that. I don't think.
- 26:41I don't think they have any clue at all dude.
- 26:45I don't even think they know what CrossFit is.
- 26:49OK, I'm, I'm with John on this one.
- 26:52I think they're, they may be told we need to get as many
- 26:57people to do the open as possible.
- 27:00And so that is indirectly pushing to a certain programming
- 27:07style because I know that the easier, more inclusive, the less
- 27:12more, you know, the less technical, less skilled, less
- 27:16heavy stuff will keep people in it or get them to sign up for
- 27:20it. I don't think Marty's going, oh,
- 27:25you programmed ring muscle UPS on the first workout.
- 27:27I would actually move that towards the back and like no.
- 27:31No, I don't think. I think that that she would look
- 27:32at the word like work out. I'm assuming she knows enough at
- 27:36this point to like understand a little bit and be like get rid
- 27:39of this. Not a chance.
- 27:41It's my conspiracy theory, all right, all.
- 27:43Right. Well, you can.
- 27:44You can believe that if you want, but it's wrong.
- 27:47Next up, Andrew Farmer, This is not a Murfreesboro update, but
- 27:51maybe it should be. We are the neediest fan base in
- 27:54sports. People complain during the
- 27:55regionals era too. It just turns out that the old
- 27:58adage remains true. People hate two things, one,
- 28:02change and two, the way things are.
- 28:06I'd never heard that. That's pretty good.
- 28:08People did complain during regionals, but I think that that
- 28:13complaining was a little more preferential to the ones we have
- 28:16now. Yeah, that was complaining that
- 28:18Sam Briggs didn't qualify or Josh Bridges missed out.
- 28:22And that's a good, that's a good complaint, the Sam Briggs thing,
- 28:26because that's drama like, that's excitement about the
- 28:29sport itself. Right.
- 28:31We should have more of those. Yes.
- 28:34I would say this this format lends itself to not having that.
- 28:37None. The the least amount.
- 28:41Because. Or I I mean I think you should
- 28:43just have to pay 1. IA 100% agree with that.
- 28:47You have to pick one, I think draft.
- 28:48Would solve all of this. We are going to get to the draft
- 28:52again. But I, I do think that what
- 28:57you're seeing now more and more is all these invites are going
- 29:01out and you're seeing people go. I'm just going to accept all of
- 29:06them and I'll make my decision at the last minute.
- 29:09Yes. Like, I don't know.
- 29:11My guess is there's people that are probably doing both the
- 29:14Syndicate and Norcal. I don't know that, but I would
- 29:16assume that that's what people are doing and that's what.
- 29:20People are doing. That's a problem, right?
- 29:25Because you're knowingly taking a spot that if you, you know,
- 29:29unless you say something like next week or the week after,
- 29:32like you're taking somebody's spot that could have qualified,
- 29:36if you do it like the last week, you can't backfill and invite
- 29:39somebody in there. No, but it is like every every
- 29:44sport has it's like little tricky games and like kind of
- 29:47dirty moves athletes can pull. That's what this is.
- 29:50And that's what this is like. I can't, I can't fault the
- 29:53athletes. They're just trying to play the
- 29:54sport that we constructed. It is what it is, yeah.
- 29:57They just. Like we put the athletes in a
- 30:00position to have to make that decision.
- 30:03Yes, I would agree with that and.
- 30:06I don't blame the athletes at all.
- 30:07No. But I mean, look at look at
- 30:09Hopper. Like imagine he was hurt and he
- 30:12couldn't do Mayhem or let's say because he only had one
- 30:15opportunity, he did Mayhem and didn't qualify.
- 30:19That would be like one of the most talked about stories all
- 30:21year. Now he can go to Syndicate.
- 30:26He's already got that invite, so not going to Mayhem isn't a big
- 30:30deal. Right.
- 30:32Let's say he goes to syndicate and for some reason takes forth
- 30:38well oh man, that sucks he didn't make it well.
- 30:40Now he gets to go to online 2 weeks later and if he doesn't
- 30:44qualify online, he finishes 8th. It's online.
- 30:47It's not the same drama as watching somebody fall apart on
- 30:50the final event or Cole Sager pass everybody on the final
- 30:54event and and qualify. It's freaking online.
- 30:57It's online and you're waiting for video review to get done.
- 31:00Yeah, it's not like there's nothing there that is exciting
- 31:04about that. Imagine he gets dinged or
- 31:06somebody gets dinged and he gets kicked up.
- 31:08It's still lackluster, 'cause it's like, OK, so he's
- 31:12qualified. What happened after it happened
- 31:13after the fact, Yeah, yeah, there is no take all the drama
- 31:16out of it. The I agree completely.
- 31:20I think when they sign up for the open, but like, he wouldn't
- 31:23sign up for, he wouldn't sign up for Mayhem if he knew that he
- 31:26could only do one 'cause he signed up for Mayhem hoping that
- 31:29he healed in time and then he didn't heal in time, right?
- 31:32He's been dealing with this thing for a while.
- 31:34He's like, well, I can't do it. I was hoping that I could,
- 31:37right. Dallin kind of had the same
- 31:39thing last year where he was hoping that he was healed up in
- 31:42time and then and then he wasn't.
- 31:45But they wouldn't sign up for it if it was like you have one
- 31:50shot, you pick it at like and when you sign up for
- 31:54quarterfinals you select the semi final that you want to go
- 31:58to should you make it. I said.
- 32:00I say you just pick up the top three.
- 32:03Sure. And then they and they and then
- 32:04the semi finals. And just keep you get your first
- 32:06pick until they're full and then you get your second pick.
- 32:08And if you don't, you're the 3rd pick.
- 32:10And guess what? If you pick Mayhem, Syndicate,
- 32:13Legends and you just happen to be behind all of those, you
- 32:19don't qualify. You should have picked the Far
- 32:21East Throwdown, right? So then that makes you think
- 32:25like, do I do I make a third pick that's safe and go out to a
- 32:28trash pick, right? You pick a 1/3 trash.
- 32:31Pick you probably do, you're quite quite honestly probably
- 32:34do, But also I think you would get big names that would go to
- 32:38the Far East throw down because because like Catherine went to
- 32:42Africa, Roman went to Far East. Like I think you would have more
- 32:48of that right now. Max Krieg is going to the games
- 32:52guys. He better, he's going to, he's
- 32:54competing in the Far East and he's competing.
- 32:55In the Rebel, nobody else is doing it like like he's, he's
- 32:59like the only smart like everybody else.
- 33:03I mean, you got the three girls, you're the three girls.
- 33:04You got Trista Annika and Miley Wade are going down to Copa
- 33:09Sewer for. One interesting the.
- 33:12Three of them, for one. No, they get 3 spots.
- 33:16Copa Surrogates 3. I think I think they get 3.
- 33:18No dude, I thought Copa Surro was one.
- 33:22It's definitely, it's definitely 2.
- 33:26It's definitely 2. I don't remember.
- 33:31Ryan Gemini made a good point. If I'm WFP, I'm hoping CrossFit
- 33:36makes it the move to one shot so go back to sort of a regional
- 33:40sort of. Feel top, top two, top 2.
- 33:44So only two will make it. Dang, Trista still ain't going.
- 33:47Makes their pro card worth it a bit more.
- 33:49That's an interesting point. But to the to the original point
- 33:55though, Hopper would not have picked would not say he's going
- 33:59to mayhem if if they only had to.
- 34:03Pick one they pick the latest one they could.
- 34:05No for sure. I think that would just be an
- 34:07interesting thing is you'd have people that would know that
- 34:12certain people want to go to Mayhem and others would be like,
- 34:14I don't know if I want to do that, I'm going to try to
- 34:15Legends and I don't know, I'm going to try.
- 34:17Norcal is my first pick. Trying to game the system of
- 34:20based on where you finish it makes quarterfinals way more
- 34:23important. Yeah, right.
- 34:26Because it goes on where you're ranked now.
- 34:29We have to have some way of actually reviewing that stuff to
- 34:32make sure that those top athletes, you know, just pick
- 34:37one video and do some type of of full review.
- 34:39I. Don't I hate that I just now
- 34:41understood Mayhem's story about Hopper.
- 34:42It's. Hilarious.
- 34:44Yeah and the song was also like some type of hurt everybody
- 34:49hurts I think by R.E.M. Yeah, yeah.
- 34:53And then last one, this one's for John at Michael Siglis
- 34:58Sigelski JY is plugging his own programmed workouts as a good
- 35:02examples to test strength only 1999 a month.
- 35:06It's actually $25.00 a month, but JY barbell if you first two
- 35:11weeks are free. Thank you Tyler, go to
- 35:13jybarbell.com. I actually have a couple
- 35:16athletes competing at syndicate this year.
- 35:19So went from and legends thousand and legends, right.
- 35:22Oh, I forgot about Delmar shoot and Magic City dude, we're I
- 35:27mean. Worldwide.
- 35:28Yeah, yeah. Listen, if you still want to do
- 35:30CrossFit, but you want to bias it towards strength just a
- 35:33little bit, JY Barbell is a place for you.
- 35:37That's right, Abby's very passionate about it.
- 35:40Tyler's wife knows all about it. If you want your PRS as high as
- 35:45the oil prices, go to jybarbell.com and $25.00 a
- 35:51month. Use Code spin.
- 35:53You'll still get 2 weeks free. Speaking of code spin, go visit
- 36:01all of our sponsors. Throw in code spin.
- 36:05Don't forget King Kong, man. King Kong.
- 36:07I'll have my I'll have my bag King Kong bag at Crescendo next
- 36:10weekend, so go get that. Don't.
- 36:13Go anywhere without it. Yeah.
- 36:15Including the grocery. That's right, they finally get
- 36:19to meet at syndicate. We need to spin kids picture.
- 36:21I don't know what's going on. Our kids.
- 36:25He's talking about Tyler's kids and my kids and your kids.
- 36:29My kids will be there. Everybody's kids.
- 36:31Everybody's kids bring. Your kids get a picture.
- 36:35Honestly, this is the best idea. Just type spin everywhere and
- 36:38then eventually they'll see that people are typing code spin and
- 36:40they'll sponsor us. That's the best way of doing it.
- 36:45Yeah. Crossfat, their new commuter
- 36:46style bags are looking good. Promise you you will have them
- 36:51forever. All right, who's lying?
- 36:59Is it Dave Castro or Jay Crouch? It's me.
- 37:02For those of you who have not paid attention, Jay Crouch was
- 37:09penalized a minute on workout one.
- 37:13It came out, thanks to Tia, that he was penalized for one
- 37:16overhead squat. He did 19 out of 20 the first
- 37:19interval and then people got upset that he got penalized a
- 37:24minute for one missed overhead squat or one fit what, you know,
- 37:27not doing all of the reps, which I think some people are still
- 37:32like, hey, you didn't, you didn't do the whole workout.
- 37:34So you should be lucky. I don't think there's something
- 37:36to that. Dave then goes on his weekend
- 37:40review on Monday and says, listen, he didn't finish the
- 37:44workout. You could review the video.
- 37:47You should review the video. But also, he's superimposed the
- 37:52clock on his workout and yeah, that that's really bad.
- 37:58You shouldn't be editing your video.
- 38:00John Young got blasted last year and got kicked off the
- 38:03leaderboard to do the same thing.
- 38:05I didn't superimpose a clock. It was edited.
- 38:09Oh, on our live. Stream I didn't use yeah, I did.
- 38:12It's not a full submission, but you use that as your video and
- 38:16they just. Booted you?
- 38:17Yeah, yeah. And so right, I, I think maybe
- 38:23dense maybe posted it. And then Nick Johnston was like,
- 38:26this is not true. Yeah.
- 38:30And then Jay was like, hey, here's my video.
- 38:32It's unlisted. Here's the link to it.
- 38:34Go watch it. And there's definitely no
- 38:38superimposed clock on there. It's on the wall.
- 38:42It was posted on March 31st, which is Tuesday, Australia
- 38:45time. So I assume it was either, you
- 38:49know, I assume it's the same, maybe my time or whatever, but
- 38:53he posted it when CrossFit requested the video.
- 38:58So you can't just take out the superimposed piece of it.
- 39:04Like that was his video, that was his video.
- 39:12What's going on there? Boy, I'd like to know.
- 39:17You know, part of me thinks like they just, I can't.
- 39:22I can't wrap my head around the superimposed part.
- 39:25Is there any chance it was another workout of his?
- 39:30It could be, but I. Wouldn't that be pretty ballsy
- 39:34of Jay to be? Like he knows that one of the
- 39:36different workouts was superimposed and you show that
- 39:38one. That's that's where I'm going.
- 39:41Like my faith in the proven organization and how sort of
- 39:44professional they remain. There is no chance Nick would
- 39:47have said what he said with the knowledge that that no video was
- 39:52edited. And I don't think that they
- 39:54were. And I think that they are.
- 39:58I think that they stay to the rules enough as far as that
- 40:02stuff goes to not break that rule.
- 40:05I think, I think if, if Nick knew that.
- 40:09He would have been like dude, what did you like?
- 40:12There's no way he he posts that comment and all.
- 40:15That just stay quiet. What's what's more insane about
- 40:18it is that I'm more apt to believe proven than I am HQ.
- 40:29I mean Dan, Dan says. It's just not like Dave to make
- 40:31shit up to justify his decisions.
- 40:34All all's I can guess is that Dave I benefited the doubt he
- 40:39get he was given wrong information.
- 40:42That's why I was wondering like, did he get confused?
- 40:44Like did did he get a piece of paper that had like all the
- 40:49major infractions? And one of those was our girl
- 40:52boving the Elsa video. And like there's a piece of
- 40:58paper and it's like. Where's?
- 41:00Jay's penalty here's. Elsa's penalty Here's, you know,
- 41:03whoever else got zeroed out for not, you know, I don't know, I
- 41:06don't think anybody else got a penalty.
- 41:08And they just crossed wires somewhere.
- 41:10And he just, like, read it all and was like, yeah, they did all
- 41:12this stuff. And it was not just Jay, it was
- 41:14others. And.
- 41:16I wanted to be. I wanted to comment that wrong 1
- 41:18David Sielson, not not this one. I mean, you could do it in the
- 41:22comments and maybe he'll respond to it.
- 41:27I, I have to hope that's the case.
- 41:29Like I'm really hoping that's the case.
- 41:30And then maybe it gets clarified next week that he misspoke and
- 41:34it was Elsa's. Because if it's not, then you
- 41:40need to address it. Well, the fact.
- 41:42So there's also the fact that Jay didn't do all the squats to
- 41:46its standard. Yeah, I mean not standing up all
- 41:50the way. Yeah, he didn't stand up all the
- 41:52way. I'll.
- 41:53Give you I'll give you a little hint.
- 41:54Nobody did. Nobody did, but if you're going
- 41:57to push back on the winner like you're going to it, it is silly.
- 42:00I think PC actually made like this kind of comment was that it
- 42:04was like, OK, so you don't have to post videos, but then when
- 42:07you have to return in your video, you do get dinged, but
- 42:09nobody else gets dinged. It is kind of a wild situation.
- 42:12I thought that comment was pretty good, but it like if
- 42:15you're going to hold them to that standard and then you
- 42:18review it like and you say, yeah, we dinged him a minute
- 42:21because he wasn't an open as hips on.
- 42:23Like everybody's like, cool, but you throw out this clock thing.
- 42:28Like what? Right.
- 42:30Yeah. The thing, the fact that they
- 42:33didn't say that there was any issue with his movement, like,
- 42:39look, it's close. They're lightweight overhead
- 42:41squats for these guys. They could do probably 50
- 42:44unbroken, like they're going to move at the fringe of standing
- 42:50up tall. The fact that you don't, the
- 42:54fact that you don't say anything about that, whether it's it's,
- 42:57you know, the, the angle's not at 45°, it's hard to see if he's
- 43:01really is standing up all the way, but you don't say that.
- 43:04But then we, I can guarantee you we could go through the other
- 43:09videos of the guys that get paid and they got the same treatment,
- 43:13which is they didn't get penalized.
- 43:14Japanese freaking popping off tonight.
- 43:17Jay superimposes clock one of minute pillows.
- 43:19See Illsa superimposed Clark for here.
- 43:21Penalty sexism. I mean, it's a really bad look.
- 43:25Like if you want to. Hold they're a little bit
- 43:26different because she speed hers up.
- 43:28I mean, but I mean like. I I don't understand that out if
- 43:33you do what's the what's the one app wadproof wadproof like
- 43:39there's a superimposed clock on the screen.
- 43:43That doesn't count. That's.
- 43:44That one's fine. Like what's the difference
- 43:47between using a timer that you put on the the that you put on
- 43:52after the fact as long as it matches the time?
- 43:54Like you can look at a YouTube video and go, oh, it started at
- 43:572 minutes and 35 seconds and it finished at 635.
- 44:01It's a 4 minute workout. The superimposed clock is 4
- 44:04minutes. What what I've never understood
- 44:06is if the clock is wrong or you superimpose a clock, you have a
- 44:10time stamp on the freaking video.
- 44:12Like just scroll to where they are like start and then scroll
- 44:15to where they finish and be like OK that's the time.
- 44:18This is crazy Diana Rusini's burner account.
- 44:22Do you know Diana Rusini? No.
- 44:26She she's a reporter for the NFL and was rumoured to be getting a
- 44:30little frisky with Mike Frabel, one of the coaches in the NFL.
- 44:34Hey, cool. But she's created a burner
- 44:36account and obviously a great fan of the show.
- 44:40Sources tell Diana that Jay had been asked to leave proven which
- 44:48a little tangent there just talking about reporters
- 44:51journalism. So this Diana Rusini who's the
- 44:57one of the other commentators, it's kind of crazy.
- 45:01Not Stephen A, Not Stephen A Smith, the other guy that's
- 45:04around him. The white guy.
- 45:05Yeah. Skinny white guy.
- 45:08Skip, Skip, he spoke about it and he's like, I don't want to
- 45:12say it, but it's pretty well known that some of the women
- 45:16journalists to get inside scoops and like, that's how it works.
- 45:25I'm going to tell you how to live your life.
- 45:26So, yeah, so I mean, it's probably going around more than
- 45:31more than you think. If I was a chick.
- 45:35You'd have all the scoops, huh? I'd have every scoop.
- 45:37There you go. You saw my picture, that what
- 45:41was it Peter made of me being a girl?
- 45:43I think I could get every scoop. You might be, might be.
- 45:47So I, I really hope Dave addresses it and doesn't just
- 45:53like drop it and like correct that he was wrong.
- 45:56That's another thing, and you're probably going to disagree with
- 46:00me on this. I don't like that he did it the
- 46:02way he did it. Who?
- 46:05Dave. Dave, I don't like these weekend
- 46:09reviews. Explain.
- 46:13I don't like the format of it it's it's so low budget like it
- 46:19looks bad never. Really thought of it that way.
- 46:23And then like, OK, so he's going and he's, you know, I will give
- 46:26him props for reading comments and he obviously doesn't filter
- 46:29which ones he picks. Because he we don't filter our
- 46:32picks either. We we just read them, read them
- 46:34out. He picked a comment just
- 46:37trashing him on like he doesn't know how to speak and then they
- 46:39calls him out for like he can't articulate well and he stutters
- 46:43and then no shit stutters while he's saying that.
- 46:47And I was like dude this just looks bad.
- 46:48Like these need to be. I did notice he started editing
- 46:53this time. Did he?
- 46:55Yeah, like there were cuts, like jump cuts, like he misspoke or
- 47:00he rambled on and then wanted to shorten it up and clean it up.
- 47:03So maybe he's getting there to make it a little bit better,
- 47:07higher quality. I love all the man videos.
- 47:11I've never been involved with them.
- 47:15I like killer stuff. I like most of the TTT stuff.
- 47:20That's it. That's where that's where you
- 47:21draw the line. Yeah.
- 47:24Wayne Short didn't HQ used to release a list of penalties with
- 47:28explanations? There was one.
- 47:30There was one. One.
- 47:32Yes. No, no.
- 47:33The quarterfinals, the last in 2234, I think had them and then
- 47:39semifinals last year had them. The difference though, Wayne, is
- 47:44there was 1. There's Mr. Crouch.
- 47:47That was the only one. So it's all that.
- 47:51It's all is needed. Yeah, let's see what.
- 47:58Diana's got she's man, she's hot on it.
- 48:01Justin Dave Castro's actually Rambler, per sources.
- 48:04It's great, Diana. Wow, Diana getting us all the
- 48:09inside information. Who would have never would have
- 48:13done that? Dave is not doing a lot during
- 48:15the day if. He needs ramblers.
- 48:19Here we go, Mr. Hopper. Proof that I was proof I was
- 48:23training hard for mayhem. Unfortunately, I have to be
- 48:27smart this time. I know.
- 48:29So unlike me, more than wanting to throw down this weekend, I
- 48:33want to be healthy or else I'll be making one of these posts
- 48:35when I can't afford it. I know some of you won't
- 48:37understand that though. However, thanks to the best
- 48:40qualifying system in CrossFit Games history, I can compete in
- 48:45just a few weeks at Syndicate Crown for the exact same ticket.
- 48:48Wild times. Sorry to upset you, Rich
- 48:51Froning. Workouts look sick, but my heart
- 48:53lies with CrossFit Crash. Oh boy.
- 48:59He just quit because of the programming, right?
- 49:02You think so? Oh.
- 49:05I mean, like you, I know that's what what mayhem people are
- 49:08thinking they. Have to be.
- 49:10I mean the comments in my post said that.
- 49:13It's a convenient time if that's not what it is.
- 49:16Grace and I need to go in there and defend her husband, tell
- 49:21people that he's he actually had the, you know, it wasn't the
- 49:24case. Speaking of Syndicate Crown,
- 49:30it's not a designated place. You kind of have to get there.
- 49:32Like I said, it's just like there's.
- 49:34A handle pretty much every, really.
- 49:40I like that there's not a designated place.
- 49:42You kind of have to get there. Like I said, it's just like
- 49:44there's a handle pretty much every really.
- 49:49What is it John tell us? I don't know.
- 49:52John doesn't know any of it. I don't know about that.
- 49:55Yeah. He's got sources.
- 49:59I don't. I don't even know who my sources
- 50:01are. That's what's beautiful about
- 50:04your sources. That's fair.
- 50:07So yeah, I don't know. I don't know what it is, but go
- 50:09check out Seneca Crown. There's quite a few teasers out
- 50:13there. Pedro's putting those together.
- 50:15So you know, Pedro, he'll try to throw you off and not know what
- 50:21what's going on. So go check it out, see if you
- 50:24know what's actually happening. I don't.
- 50:26John definitely doesn't. Tyler, I don't even know.
- 50:30I may have been told some theories.
- 50:32You you might know. I don't.
- 50:33Think that's the beauty of telling me anything.
- 50:36If it doesn't strike me in that moment, I'll forget.
- 50:38You don't know what it is. I I won't forget, but I'll.
- 50:49You moved your cord. We didn't hear anything you
- 50:51said. Isn't that broken cord?
- 50:58No. It's probably broken now.
- 51:00Do can you guys hear me? Now we can hear you.
- 51:03Now plus USPC. Computer mic. 1212.
- 51:06There you go, crisp. I won't forget, but I'll forget
- 51:09who told me. That's true.
- 51:12He won't even know how how accurate it is.
- 51:15All right, that's it going on the Mayhem preview, all of the
- 51:20workouts, all six of them have been posted.
- 51:24Gross. Wild.
- 51:28People that kept saying there were five and I was like I don't
- 51:31think so guys. And there are 6 here.
- 51:38They are 5K run for time on Friday.
- 51:42We don't know what else is going on there.
- 51:46Any guesses on what we'll see with the 5K run I?
- 51:49Think it'll be a trial run and potential for a best.
- 51:55That's boring. Well, I mean, that's what it'll
- 51:57be. This is the swim one that 7
- 52:00keeps talking about. They're going to swim through
- 52:02the lake. Yep.
- 52:04You think so? That's.
- 52:04A pond we need to get our. Oh if it was 5K run but then
- 52:09like 2K swim. Back and forth 18 times.
- 52:15I don't think the swim, I don't think Crossfit's lifted the swim
- 52:18ban. That would be considered an open
- 52:20water swim, right? I bet that sucker ain't ain't 6
- 52:25feet deep in the middle. I don't know.
- 52:28I've never swim. Anybody swam in Rich's Pond?
- 52:30Let us know. No, I have not been.
- 52:34They'll have lifeguards. Darren's a great lifeguard.
- 52:36I don't, definitely. Looks like he had a lifeguard
- 52:38job as a kid. I'm going to venture to say it's
- 52:40not a swim. Yeah, I'm going to say that
- 52:42that's what I'm going with. Yeah, workout too.
- 52:45I think they're going to do just that 5K run on Friday and then
- 52:47everything else will be and they'll do three more.
- 52:49You don't think it'll be the trail?
- 52:51No, I think it'll be a trail. I think it's a trail run, and I
- 52:53think it's gonna be a weight fest.
- 52:54I'm hoping there's something else to it.
- 52:58That does make it different. That makes Jeff slower.
- 53:03If it's a best. I dude every single trail run
- 53:07that was loaded Hopper has beaten Jeff.
- 53:10Well, Hopper ain't running. I I know, but like Roman is
- 53:13like, I just think it, yeah, it does hurt Jeff.
- 53:16I'm not saying Jeff still won't win, but it will be a lot closer
- 53:20than you think. Up and down mountains is very
- 53:24different than just straight run speed.
- 53:26Like we run a trail all of a sudden.
- 53:28Like I I'm much better in a trail than I am flat ground.
- 53:32And it's just, it's just different.
- 53:33It's just a different stimulus. I don't disagree with that.
- 53:35I just, I don't know, I feel like the run with just a weight
- 53:40vest is a little played out like you got to do something now to
- 53:43to woo me. Next up, I believe Friday
- 53:47morning event 2 Gwen 15129 at One 85125.
- 53:51That's a pull to you. OK, I got to.
- 53:56Go take some pictures while you're out there.
- 53:58Prove that you were where you were.
- 54:02I like this. John, I have no concept.
- 54:05I like I text. I texted you guys earlier about
- 54:09it, ghosted once again. Appreciate it.
- 54:12You texted us. Evidently not.
- 54:17What's the time on this? What do you mean?
- 54:21Oh, how fast is this what? You asked?
- 54:23And then, yeah. And then?
- 54:24Nobody answered. I mean, I think, I think that's
- 54:28right. I would say around 4 minutes.
- 54:31Back of the napkin math. That's like kind of where I was
- 54:34at with it. That's a really good score,
- 54:36right, 4? Yeah, I mean, I think sub four
- 54:39wins it, but you, you got to think.
- 54:41Does Olivia go just unbroken? 236 unbroken.
- 54:47Olivia might can go sub three. It might be one of these things
- 54:50where like every black sub 4 is second place and sub three and
- 54:53she's the only one with sub three.
- 54:54Here's the thing, touch and go is far, far different.
- 54:58The unbroken element of it is so much different than just barbell
- 55:03cycling. Sure.
- 55:05Because like somebody like Roman all of a sudden is very good at
- 55:11this because your ability to just hold on to things, it's
- 55:15just different than barbell cycling.
- 55:17Barbell cycling is aerobic. This isn't, this is like brute,
- 55:21can you hold on three different times?
- 55:24And yes, there's a recovery element to it, but it's just,
- 55:28it's not, I don't think it's a given that Jeff wins.
- 55:31No, I don't think. It is.
- 55:32I would agree with that. And I think guys like Roman,
- 55:35potentially Colton and Austin, just because their reps are
- 55:39gonna be faster, you know, like, I don't know, I think grip will
- 55:43come into play somewhat. So it's hard to say.
- 55:45For Colton. It's it's, it's a really hard
- 55:48workout to pick just 'cause I have no idea either.
- 55:52I've done something similar to this and my time was like 4 high
- 55:56four 30s. But it's just three sets, you
- 56:01know, like that's all. You treat it like a Max out for
- 56:04time. What what are the rests like
- 56:07gonna gonna look like between this pretty?
- 56:12I think I think the first after the 15, it'll be like a 32nd
- 56:18rest and then after the 12 is, you know, somebody might take a
- 56:2115 second rest like like the after the 12.
- 56:24It'll be going for it. It's going to be so interesting
- 56:29to see people fail, to see if people fail, if the envelope is
- 56:34pushed enough for people to fail.
- 56:37If I'm Colton and if I like when I finish the 15 cleaning jerks,
- 56:42I just wait for the next person to go and I know my reps are
- 56:46going to be faster. Like if you're if you're him,
- 56:49you don't go before anybody else and you just go whenever like
- 56:53Jeff goes and you know that you're 9 and like you're 9 at
- 56:56the end of it's going to be faster.
- 56:57That's. That's what's going to make
- 56:59this, this event. I mean, it's going to be
- 57:01electric. Your your coaches are going to
- 57:03be super involved because you'll have to keep track of people
- 57:06from the other heat, right? And so if somebody went really
- 57:10fast, the coach is going to be yelling like, no, you got to go,
- 57:12don't wait on Jeff. Go right.
- 57:14And then if you're smart, you'll wait for somebody else to pick,
- 57:18you know, get ready to start and then you'll pick up your barbell
- 57:21if you're ahead. But then like you might fail.
- 57:23Like I think we're going to see some crazy fails and this is
- 57:26such a cool workout. And, and this is a workout and
- 57:29am I when we, if we go, if we show my rankings, I have them
- 57:33ranked because of this. This is a workout I could see
- 57:36Austin tanking like Hatfield. No, just going too soon and
- 57:43failing the 9:00. Pulling, pulling the Hatfield.
- 57:46Yeah, like, like, because he's just done it over and over and
- 57:49over and he's like, it's hard for me to predict him to win
- 57:55where he makes mistakes. And this is a this is an event
- 58:00that people can make big, big time mistakes.
- 58:05So I'm going to say sub four wins it.
- 58:09You know, Olivia, I'm not going to predict that she doesn't go
- 58:12sub three. I think that's pretty far
- 58:15fetched, but. You think so?
- 58:17Don't you think that the 1:25 for the women on average is
- 58:21probably fine, but for the top women like Olivia Odomet, Colin
- 58:28Brander, maybe I don't know where she is health wise, but
- 58:31like back in the day like the 125 would be easier for them as
- 58:36winners of or top three. Than a 185.
- 58:39Then 185 for the men. Yeah, no I I do think it would
- 58:42be easier. Sub 3 is fast like I just I
- 58:48don't put it past. Her.
- 58:49I don't put it past her to do it.
- 58:52I just am not. I probably ain't going to
- 58:55predict her to do it, is all I'm saying.
- 58:56How fast was her heavy Isabel time?
- 59:02Jeff was 3/19. She beat him.
- 59:04Let me effort it. 247. I don't know.
- 59:11Rebecca Devine beat her. I think Rebecca Devine murdered
- 59:15everybody. I well, just think.
- 59:19About the overhead, it's the overhead portion that I feel
- 59:22like you're, I think you're right on the clean, but I think
- 59:25the volume of the overhead portion is what will catch the
- 59:29girls more so than the guys. I mean, let's just say Olivia
- 59:35was and I can't find her real. Quick, she did 325. 325 for 30
- 59:42snatches at what, 155? And those are fast.
- 59:46I I hear you. Snatches are faster than clean
- 59:48and jerks. But it's not unbroken.
- 59:50But it's 125 clean and jerks. At at singles, at the most
- 59:55rested, you're going to be it it it hits your system far, far
- 59:59different. I mean, if you you welcome to
- 1:00:02predictor to do it, I'm and I'm not saying she can't, it's just
- 1:00:08that's hard for me to say like 'cause it's it's really, really
- 1:00:10fast and cleaning jerks are slower than snatches and your
- 1:00:12aerobic system's going to hit get hit harder doing this than a
- 1:00:16heavy Isabel I'm. Going to go make my dogs be
- 1:00:19quiet so you guys carry on. Oh, here, here.
- 1:00:22Dallin's watching it. Dallin, what do you think the
- 1:00:25fastest times are for the men and the women 'cause I said sub
- 1:00:31four would win it for the men and then Olivia will probably be
- 1:00:34closer to sub three, but I'm not going to call her to be sub
- 1:00:37three. I don't think anybody's going to
- 1:00:39be sub. I understand that it's a cop
- 1:00:41out, but it's impossible to predict this workout because of
- 1:00:44the unbrokenness. Right.
- 1:00:47Like, like that, It's so hard. You know, she might not need to
- 1:00:51push the envelope. The thing is, like with this
- 1:00:54unbroken element of it, there is no like I'm going to P score
- 1:00:59this. There is none of that.
- 1:01:01If it has to be unbroken, you look at 2nd place and then
- 1:01:04you're just going to go a little bit before them, yeah, to ensure
- 1:01:08that you have won this right. OK, we're back.
- 1:01:14All right, Next up, you like one?
- 1:01:16No, that's wrong. One.
- 1:01:18Let's see. Here we go.
- 1:01:20Dirty 30s sandbag squats. Ring muscle up sandbag squats.
- 1:01:23Bar muscle up sandbag squats. Colton wins, right?
- 1:01:29I it'll be between him and Austin.
- 1:01:31No. Tyler ring muscle UPS.
- 1:01:34It's a lot of grip in this. That one's in the same boat as I
- 1:01:37am. Olivia 255 to three men, maybe
- 1:01:41335. Wow.
- 1:01:44Oh, that, that brings me question.
- 1:01:47The thing, the thing that I'm hung up on, I've never seen it
- 1:01:50done or have done it. So like, it's just so hard to
- 1:01:55say. Yeah, what were you going to?
- 1:01:58Say, why don't you do it before you're a hernery, Sir.
- 1:01:59Hernery. Yeah.
- 1:02:00Sir, it's already messed up, John.
- 1:02:02It's not going to hurt any worse.
- 1:02:03I've done this before. I told you what my time was.
- 1:02:06I'm talking about your hernia. What about it?
- 1:02:10It's already messed up, you can't hurt it any worse.
- 1:02:13I'll go live. Before before I forget, isn't it
- 1:02:17crazy that Magic City Games is doing this Gwen?
- 1:02:21Too. Now I want to know what kind if
- 1:02:23they're doing these weights or they're going to let them pick
- 1:02:25their own load. Probably the same kind.
- 1:02:27It's probably the same. They're probably going to do all
- 1:02:29of like Gwen is the new Heavy Isabel.
- 1:02:32I do know this for a fact 'cause if you don't, I can't see them
- 1:02:36doing it with the masters because 80% of the masters won't
- 1:02:39be able to do. It well, they'd scale it, they'd
- 1:02:41scale the weights, John. That's but what I'm saying is do
- 1:02:46they just pick their own load or do they say it's 155?
- 1:02:49Yeah, they changed it to 150. Five, I did something with this.
- 1:02:52CJ messaged me last night and he was like, hey, how would you
- 1:02:54score that? Like how would you do this if it
- 1:02:56was for weight? And I was like, you kind of do a
- 1:02:59power equation or something like that.
- 1:03:01But like if you did it that way, everybody's going to kind of
- 1:03:04lean light, like they're going to do 135 or 95 something that
- 1:03:08they can just run through because it doesn't matter how
- 1:03:10heavy you go, you can't like you can't make up the difference,
- 1:03:13so. Dude, I honestly think you do it
- 1:03:16how it's written here. I, I almost think you, I love
- 1:03:18that you do the same weight every time.
- 1:03:21You're not going to go up weight for three less reps and it'd be
- 1:03:26it you're more tired. Like, I think you really rock
- 1:03:30with the same weight and then you have done it enough times
- 1:03:33that you know exactly what the weight is.
- 1:03:35You know what I'm saying, where your line is.
- 1:03:38I I think going up on something like this is is like if you're
- 1:03:43under a time domain, I just don't see it.
- 1:03:44I just don't see it. Would you like it if Gwen is
- 1:03:47programmed for all the semifinals again?
- 1:03:49Did you like that last year or was it overplayed the same
- 1:03:52workout? I don't like the if it's for
- 1:03:53every single semi final. I wasn't a fan of it.
- 1:03:57I think for a couple it'll be fine.
- 1:03:59Three maybe, but not not all of them.
- 1:04:02We got at least 2. All right, back to dirty 30s.
- 1:04:07Anything there? I think Colton and Austin will
- 1:04:10go hand in hand. I'd probably pick, I'd probably
- 1:04:13pick Colton, but I think him and Austin will be neck and neck on
- 1:04:19this. What about the women?
- 1:04:21Adler. Dude, women I like.
- 1:04:25I'm going to say Lucy because she's the fittest person, but I
- 1:04:32dark horse Kyra Milligan in this 'cause she ain't gonna get
- 1:04:36fatigue in those squats and she's a very gymnastics.
- 1:04:39I, I, if it's, I don't know, she's very good at gymnastics.
- 1:04:43I don't know if it will be fast enough, like if the pace is fast
- 1:04:47enough to make her go slower or, or, you know, to, for her not to
- 1:04:50stay up with the top women. But if it's slow, a slower pace.
- 1:04:56Kyra Milligan's dark horse to win this.
- 1:04:58I think Lucy and Emma are going to be neck and neck in this,
- 1:05:01though it's hard to say who wins.
- 1:05:05Emma's better at the muscle UPS, but I think Lucy's way more
- 1:05:08grittier. And if it hurts at the end, I'm
- 1:05:12going to pick Lucy every time. Well, it's going to hurt.
- 1:05:17Yeah, ain't no, that's what I think.
- 1:05:18Emma might have a lead going into the bar muscle UPS but if
- 1:05:21it gets slow and gets gritty I will not pick against.
- 1:05:25And keep in mind this is going to be 3 workouts I believe.
- 1:05:29I think it's going to be 1 on Friday, 234 on Saturday and 5-6
- 1:05:35on Sunday. Which means they're like if it's
- 1:05:37like last year, it's going to be a very quick turn around.
- 1:05:39Like you don't get a lot of time between like the women go on
- 1:05:43event two men and then it's like women go right after they change
- 1:05:46out the floor like there's no time to rest.
- 1:05:48So like, that could play a factor in it too of you've just
- 1:05:53done 36 cleaning jerks and now you get to go do this.
- 1:05:58Have fun. The oh shit Oh do we know the
- 1:06:02standard on the the sandbag squat?
- 1:06:05I assume you put it on your shoulder and squat.
- 1:06:07I would hope so. But.
- 1:06:09If not, it's going to be like we're going to be dealing with
- 1:06:12whatever that European semifinal was.
- 1:06:14No, nothing could be that bad. The women's sandbag is heavier.
- 1:06:20I like that. A shouldered, A shouldered 150,
- 1:06:25that's going to be bad. People are going to drop in that
- 1:06:27last. You have you have that one
- 1:06:28instead. Dude 90 squats at 1:50 is is no
- 1:06:34joke. Like I'm, I'm just like,
- 1:06:40obviously they move faster than me, but my squat, my squats
- 1:06:44endurance is pretty, pretty good and 90 sandbag squats at 1:50 is
- 1:06:51I don't, I don't know if I can do that unbroken moving as slow
- 1:06:55as I move. I I it's a lot.
- 1:06:59I I don't think you'll see him unbroken.
- 1:07:01I don't think so. Oh, I think Colton goes unbroken
- 1:07:03all day. Hobart with his great
- 1:07:05commentary, it looks easy. He's going to bring that to
- 1:07:08Syndicate Crown if. He said that in the middle of
- 1:07:11syndicate looks why they're struggling.
- 1:07:13This looks easy, right? This is a good one for the fans
- 1:07:17to try at home. Give this one a shot and let us
- 1:07:18know. Yeah, no, for sure this, this,
- 1:07:23this is a workout that would it will definitely show the
- 1:07:28difference in fitness like levels, right.
- 1:07:31Like within the competition there will be so many like tier
- 1:07:35separations and within this workout.
- 1:07:40I think this is insane. What do you know?
- 1:07:42You're in. You're no, I mean.
- 1:07:44Mason. Mason's going unbroken.
- 1:07:46I don't disagree with him. I.
- 1:07:47Just in the 1st. Round.
- 1:07:48I just don't think that I would I.
- 1:07:51Don't think it makes sense to go unbroken on any of them, even
- 1:07:54the muscle UPS. You're too far behind if you
- 1:07:56don't. On anything.
- 1:07:59On squats when you have to reclean it, Yeah, you're too far
- 1:08:02behind. It's not an easy Rep to.
- 1:08:05It's not an easy Rep to get back into.
- 1:08:06Yeah, but then you just stand there with the bag on you.
- 1:08:09That extra clean. No, it's it's way too much time.
- 1:08:13All right, baby, if you say that, how much do you want to
- 1:08:16bet the winner goes unbroken? Well.
- 1:08:20Well, you know, if you go wow, that's what I'm.
- 1:08:22Telling you you're. Too far behind?
- 1:08:24I don't think, no, I don't think anybody goes fully unbroken.
- 1:08:27I don't think anybody does. No, obviously not on the ring
- 1:08:30muscle ups and bar muscle. I'm talking about just.
- 1:08:33I don't think you go unbroken on the other squats either.
- 1:08:37Dude, I'll bet you anything. The last set I could see it just
- 1:08:42because you're like, I got no. No, I think, I think the whole
- 1:08:45or every squat. I'm just telling you, I don't
- 1:08:49think I could, but they are going to.
- 1:08:52The top guys are going to. All the way through I think I
- 1:08:57was. A chance Zero chance Event 4
- 1:09:02Midline century This is the intervals.
- 1:09:04Ski sit ups, Max toes to bar. It's a lot of hinging.
- 1:09:09Enjoy. Again, another cool like they
- 1:09:11actually do this one. You could actually do this one
- 1:09:14at home. Just make sure you know how to
- 1:09:16do I don't. Think you, I don't think you
- 1:09:19could. I think this one I think is a
- 1:09:22big fitness separator too. Tyler, I like you.
- 1:09:26Think you could do 25 Kowski and then 25 GHDS on the three minute
- 1:09:30clock and finish it every time? Absolutely.
- 1:09:34I think you're going to captain the third one.
- 1:09:38I could hold. What's that?
- 1:09:39A minute? Second one.
- 1:09:41I think on the 3rd interval you're taking, you're taking
- 1:09:44over 2 minutes to do that ski and then you're going to take
- 1:09:47over a minute to do the GHDS. Let's say it's a minute 20 for
- 1:09:50the ski another. Dude, no Kia.
- 1:09:53You got to be under in a minute. On the ski.
- 1:09:56Yes. No, he's talking about to
- 1:09:59complete the the toaster bar. Yeah, you got to be under a
- 1:10:03minute. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
- 1:10:05yeah. You don't have to be under a
- 1:10:07minute, but you got to be darn near close.
- 1:10:10I'm saying I think Tyler doesn't get to the Toast bar.
- 1:10:14Oh so I don't even complete the buy in of 10?
- 1:10:17By 10 reps third interval I don't think you get to the toast
- 1:10:20bar. That's what I'm saying.
- 1:10:22I just PR Ed my toast bar, my Max toast bar.
- 1:10:25You're not going to get there. I'm saying you're.
- 1:10:27Not going to get there. I'm doing it.
- 1:10:31I'm filming it now. Please, please do.
- 1:10:33You do it too, John. Right now.
- 1:10:37Right now, that was a low blow. Literally.
- 1:10:41I got to get my wins where I can get them all right.
- 1:10:43Yeah, yeah. This is your best chance.
- 1:10:46I think it's nasty, I mean. I think I could make the
- 1:10:48interval, but that's it right now.
- 1:10:52No, no, no, no, no fit. Fit, Fit John.
- 1:10:56I think I can make the interval and then on the first round and
- 1:11:00the last round I'll get some toast.
- 1:11:02What was your What's your Max toast?
- 1:11:03The bar Tyler. 45. You're no chance.
- 1:11:09Oh, to complete the workout. No spin, I'm just talking.
- 1:11:12No, I don't think. I don't think if he only has 45
- 1:11:14Max toast the bar, I don't think he gets more than like 5 or 10
- 1:11:19the second round. I think it takes like 2 1/2
- 1:11:22minutes. How much you want to bet to get
- 1:11:24there? Put some money on this.
- 1:11:26I agree completely. I need a little motivation.
- 1:11:28You're. Going to be sweating.
- 1:11:29I don't sweat in that second round.
- 1:11:30I don't think you get 50 toast of our total in the workout.
- 1:11:34No, no, no, no, no, no I want, I want like per round how many I
- 1:11:38need to get. You need to get 25.
- 1:11:40Yeah, 12 1/2 per round. OK, I can do it.
- 1:11:45And you got have extra minute on the last interview.
- 1:11:48I got rest in there, boys, I can do this.
- 1:11:51I OK, I will bet you. 3 movements the same.
- 1:11:54I'll bet you 20 bucks you can't get 50 toes to bar in this
- 1:11:57workout. I.
- 1:11:58Don't know if you use like a lot of arms on the ski you.
- 1:12:01Want to bet 20 bucks on it? Yeah, all right.
- 1:12:04Spin. You hurt.
- 1:12:05You want to get it on this spin. Yeah, I'll give you another 20.
- 1:12:07Make it 3, Hobart. We got a deal.
- 1:12:09Hey, that means you got 40 bucks coming our way if you lose.
- 1:12:13You know this. Yeah, I'm making.
- 1:12:14Bets with Hobart right now there's no cash involved on my.
- 1:12:17It's easy. It's easy.
- 1:12:21Yeah, look, James, James will give you a dollar per toe to
- 1:12:24bar, and when you get 40, toast a bar instead of 50.
- 1:12:27That's the money you'll pay to me and spend.
- 1:12:29I'll live. Stream it and then the Hobart
- 1:12:32you can join. Do it tomorrow.
- 1:12:34I can do it tomorrow. No, no, because I'm working out
- 1:12:37like 5 in the morning. I mean, Rich finished in like
- 1:12:41what was it? He had to get into the 4th
- 1:12:43interval and he had like 10 left or something like that. 12 left.
- 1:12:46What'd Taylor get? He he finished in 3rd interval.
- 1:12:49He finished in three. But he did like, he did like 40
- 1:12:52the first time or 38 the first time and then like.
- 1:12:56He's at, He's ridiculous. It not yet, but all of this I
- 1:12:59yeah, I I mean, I would pick Taylor to be one of the best
- 1:13:01people in the world in this at this particular workout.
- 1:13:03But all right, Tyler, you got to go live before Saturday.
- 1:13:09No, I can't. I'm traveling this weekend.
- 1:13:11But I will. I'll do.
- 1:13:12I'll, I'll take. Video.
- 1:13:14Tomorrow I'll do it in the morning and I'll video it.
- 1:13:16OK, we'll show it on the next spin.
- 1:13:20We'll reveal on the next the next show, the next pin show.
- 1:13:24I like this sloppy. At best, No, it's gonna be like,
- 1:13:29it's gonna be like 320. Not finished the Today.
- 1:13:36Jeanette's. Forum.
- 1:13:38There we go. No, not a chance.
- 1:13:41Fronting's benchmark. After you do all of that, you're
- 1:13:43going to wake up Sunday morning feeling sore and you have to do
- 1:13:46some legless rope climbs, handstand walking, front squats,
- 1:13:49and handstand walking. What a setup.
- 1:13:53She's working for you, Spin. Yeah.
- 1:13:55She We've sold a ton of frog grips at my gym by the foot.
- 1:13:58As as you. You know what you haven't sold a
- 1:14:01bunch of some JY Barbell Fitness memberships.
- 1:14:04First two weeks are free. Jybarbell.com.
- 1:14:07I feel a little weird pimping out other people's programming
- 1:14:10in my affiliate. Don't my I can program for your.
- 1:14:14Extra. It's extra.
- 1:14:15Programming extra program. That's fair.
- 1:14:20My dogs are losing their mind, so keep going.
- 1:14:24This this is a a dirty workout. Two legless rope climbs. 25 foot
- 1:14:30handstand walk obstacle. Let's make sure we go back to
- 1:14:34that. 4 front squats to 275. What's 118585?
- 1:14:38Sorry, my stupid glasses are on. 25 foot handstand walk obstacle.
- 1:14:43What do you think the obstacle is?
- 1:14:45Just the stairs in the ramp. It'll be just one.
- 1:14:48Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's getting played out in my
- 1:14:50opinion. But it'll be like stairs, ramp
- 1:14:53and then ramp stairs. And they they like to do that
- 1:14:55back-to-back. Like you got some on this side,
- 1:14:58some on this side. And then you'll just yeah, yeah,
- 1:15:00yeah, yeah. That's how it'll be.
- 1:15:03The legless is cool, the front squats are mean and as soon as I
- 1:15:07saw this I thought of that. When he went against Scott
- 1:15:10Panczyk in the Hansen Push up Burpee front squat workout in
- 1:15:13regionals, they posted that video.
- 1:15:18I think Austin runs away with this one and like wins it pretty
- 1:15:25handedly. I yes, I'd agree with that.
- 1:15:35Why not Jeff? Yeah, I think Jeff will be good.
- 1:15:39I think Austin will be faster. What, why?
- 1:15:40Why is Austin faster though? I think it's only two legless
- 1:15:44rope climbs and they're split up by a lot.
- 1:15:47Like if it if it had like 8 legless rope climbs in the
- 1:15:49beginning I'd pick Jeff over Austin, but it's only two.
- 1:15:53Last year in Mayhem, whenever they had a small amount of
- 1:15:56legless rope climbs and then something else, Yeah, I don't
- 1:16:01think Austin does bad on legless rope climb workouts 'cause he's
- 1:16:05a bad legless rope climber. I just think he's, I just think
- 1:16:07he's dumb sometimes and that's and that's why.
- 1:16:11But I think he's a good legless rope climber.
- 1:16:13I think he's a phenomenal handstand Walker.
- 1:16:16I think they do that ramp and workouts like this all the
- 1:16:18freaking time it Mayhem. And then I think who is going to
- 1:16:22grab 4 front squats from the ground?
- 1:16:25I imagine it's from the ground and immediately and Colton and
- 1:16:30Austin are the only ones that are just going to pick it up
- 1:16:32immediately and be faster than everybody else, including Jeff.
- 1:16:37Like Jeff will be great at this workout.
- 1:16:39I just think Austin's going to be faster and I don't.
- 1:16:42Think make up like what, 5 seconds on the front squat?
- 1:16:4510 maybe? But 5 seconds per round.
- 1:16:48Six rounds, it's 30 seconds, 30 seconds.
- 1:16:51Jeff can make up 30 seconds somewhere else, no?
- 1:16:55Yeah, I think the the only problem with Colton is probably
- 1:16:57the handstand walk. I don't think he's as fast as
- 1:17:00the other guys on it. Yeah, I mean and, and the
- 1:17:03legless rope climb, like like it's not he's got that much
- 1:17:06slower, but it's like like Tyler said, like it's a a couple
- 1:17:09seconds slower, right. The handstand walk, he will be
- 1:17:12fine. He's not as good as Austin.
- 1:17:14The front squats, he's probably better than Austin, but they're
- 1:17:17close. It's 4 front squats and they're
- 1:17:19close enough, right. I think Colton will actually be
- 1:17:21pretty good at this workout. I would pick Austin and Jeff
- 1:17:25over Colton in this workout. This is it's it's legless, so it
- 1:17:29doesn't matter if it's a cut rope.
- 1:17:32Let them make it a cut rope. What A twist.
- 1:17:35And then finally, we're going to end it, John.
- 1:17:37It wasn't the one you thought it would be.
- 1:17:38The final toll 30 dumbbell bench press, 200 double unders and 100
- 1:17:43foot dumbbell farmer's lunge be a fun one.
- 1:17:51They are ended in on the lunch was just cliche, but I like it
- 1:17:53because you're going to have a follow situation somewhere.
- 1:17:58Weren't those hundreds and 70s? I don't know if you will.
- 1:18:01These dumbbells are lighter. Are you surprised that they were
- 1:18:05lighter? Well, they're lighter because of
- 1:18:07the bench press. They want to bait people in the
- 1:18:09going unbroken on the bench press and I mean 35 our 30 bench
- 1:18:14press at 75 and 5th like that's no, that's no joke.
- 1:18:17Like you got to be pretty darn strong to do that.
- 1:18:22Now your triceps are blown and then you have 200 double unders
- 1:18:25like you're you're going to be blown pretty hard in this
- 1:18:28workout. But but I.
- 1:18:30Think when you get to the lunge, though.
- 1:18:31I don't. Do you think anybody fails?
- 1:18:33That's in contention. I think when people go for it,
- 1:18:37man, people, people push themselves to the limit.
- 1:18:40You can't feel your arms and then you have to lunge holding 2
- 1:18:44dumbbells. I.
- 1:18:45I think you would be surprised. I'm with you.
- 1:18:47It's not the heaviest, but. 4 minute cap.
- 1:18:51I think you would be surprised. That's a lie.
- 1:18:56It takes you. It's going to take you.
- 1:18:58No dude, I mean. 2 minutes on the double under if you go I'm
- 1:19:01broken. I'm with them.
- 1:19:02I'm with you. 30 dumbbell bench press is one minute if you go
- 1:19:05unbroken to I. Really it's probably like 40
- 1:19:08seconds if you go unbroken 200 double unders 2 minutes.
- 1:19:13So now we're at 2:40. You got a minute to do your
- 1:19:16lunch. I I'm I'm team that probably 5
- 1:19:20minute cap. I want everybody.
- 1:19:22I think you want everybody finishing this.
- 1:19:25That's. Crazy.
- 1:19:26That's nuts. Yeah, that means they're like,
- 1:19:30you got to go. Yeah, there's no, there's no
- 1:19:33breaking. You have to try to go for it.
- 1:19:34I mean, yeah, I like it then. I think 30 is enough.
- 1:19:40I could sneak in there and get get the 30 unbroken and then I'm
- 1:19:44going to die. I don't think you get 30
- 1:19:46unbroken with that. God, John, you just like I'm
- 1:19:49going to do all these workouts now with Jeanette, Dunn said.
- 1:19:52We got to do this one this weekend, of course Jeanette
- 1:19:54wants to do. This I'm I'm sorry man, I can't
- 1:19:57do any of them. So I have.
- 1:19:58To. You got to get me to do it.
- 1:20:00I got to tell you that you can't do them, so you do them.
- 1:20:03This is my favorite part of the season where I see a bunch of
- 1:20:05workouts I want to do. I know I'm really upset about my
- 1:20:08current condition because I guarantee we do the syndicate
- 1:20:10workouts, but I was going to do all the crash workouts with you
- 1:20:12too and that's where no. You can't.
- 1:20:14I'm the most. Hey, for everybody saying I was
- 1:20:17complaining about programming and, you know, there's no, never
- 1:20:22any programming I like. I like all of these workouts,
- 1:20:25every single one of them. Yeah.
- 1:20:27I would agree. I do too.
- 1:20:29They're fun, they're innovative, they're cool.
- 1:20:31I I want to do all of these workouts.
- 1:20:33It feels pretty well balanced. I actually think it's slants
- 1:20:38weightlifting, and it probably shouldn't, but it's pretty well
- 1:20:45balanced. It's pretty well balanced.
- 1:20:47It's their competition, they can do what they.
- 1:20:49Want. Yeah, they can do what they want
- 1:20:50for sure. But we should get into the
- 1:20:51predictions, some prediction maxing.
- 1:20:57Yeah, why did you pick this photo?
- 1:21:00I love it. It's it's John Young.
- 1:21:03Looks maxing. I hate it.
- 1:21:05I went stone cold. You don't want to be, you know,
- 1:21:10mogging and. No, I don't remember John Stone
- 1:21:13Cold Pigs or JY Stone Cold Pigs. I that's I liked that one a lot.
- 1:21:16You got to mix it up, John. You got to go with what's what's
- 1:21:19hot out? There, I don't know who this
- 1:21:20dude is, but I feel super gay. JY Vicular.
- 1:21:27That's right. How did you even get my like
- 1:21:29lips to do that? It's that's a face you make all
- 1:21:33the time. Oh, OK, I'm just a mogging
- 1:21:36person. I'm off.
- 1:21:36Yeah. You just, Yeah, you love.
- 1:21:39Those aren't even my headphones. They're definitely your
- 1:21:42headphones. You have them on right now.
- 1:21:45Yeah, they're my headphones. You look good, John.
- 1:21:49All right, who is going to the CrossFit Games on Sunday?
- 1:21:58Women's side Lucy Campbell, Emma Lawson, Olivia Kerstetter, Miss
- 1:22:03Paige Rogers and Kyla Kyra Milligan.
- 1:22:06Gabby Classic Kyla. Sitting on the yeah or Kira
- 1:22:11sitting on the outside? Lucy's fit, Emma's on the
- 1:22:16comeback, Olivia's strong. Is there any other reason why
- 1:22:20you picked those 3? I was actually really stuck
- 1:22:26between Paige and Olivia. I think when I saw when I what I
- 1:22:31do is I look at every workout and I just assign a number to
- 1:22:37each person. So like the 5K run, Lucy
- 1:22:40Campbell is a is a nine nine out of 10.
- 1:22:44Emma Lawson is a 10. Olivia Kursetter is A2, right?
- 1:22:49Like the and then like that. System.
- 1:22:51I go through every single workout and then I Add all the
- 1:22:55numbers up at the end and then I assign the ranking as those
- 1:23:00numbers come out. Does that make sense?
- 1:23:03That way I am not. I try to be as least biased as
- 1:23:05possible with that way because I don't know who equals what.
- 1:23:11Paige Rogers and Olivia Curstadter were tied.
- 1:23:16So from that point, from that point on, I just went, who do I
- 1:23:21have more faith in the last event?
- 1:23:23That's kind of my tiebreaker of who's going to go for it and who
- 1:23:26won't or who's going to be successful and who won't type of
- 1:23:29deal in the last event. And I think Olivia could win the
- 1:23:34last event. I don't think Paige could.
- 1:23:37And so that's why Olivia is #3 I absolutely think, I think all
- 1:23:44the way down to Gabby Magawa, really Lucy Mcgonigal all the
- 1:23:48way down to Lucy Mcgonigal could get a spot.
- 1:23:52I think through seven could upset somebody and get a spot in
- 1:23:57the top three, which is wild. But that's this is the those.
- 1:24:02That's the order that I chose to put them in.
- 1:24:05Why do you have Emily Rolf so high?
- 1:24:06You just said it was weightlifting bias.
- 1:24:10Yeah, but there's no Max out, right?
- 1:24:12If it's just barbell cycling weight, she's actually not bad.
- 1:24:16Like look at go look at Rogue this last year she was second on
- 1:24:21the back squat workout or second or third on the the workout that
- 1:24:25Colton killed everybody at like the 50 back squats or 30 back
- 1:24:29squats at 3:15, the sandbags, she was third place.
- 1:24:32Second or third place. If it's stuff that she can
- 1:24:35cycle, like Hayley Adams, she's pretty good.
- 1:24:39Like she uses her aerobic capacity to her advantage.
- 1:24:42There is no Max out. She's going to be great in the
- 1:24:465K run. Like I think she'll actually be
- 1:24:49pretty good at Gwen. I I, I like, I don't think she's
- 1:24:53going to get hurt at that workout at all.
- 1:24:55And. It being 125 helps her, yeah.
- 1:24:58Yeah, and and the, the ski GHD workout, toes to bar workout,
- 1:25:03she might win that workout. She's in the running to win that
- 1:25:07workout. She has the fastest toes to bar
- 1:25:09out of everybody. Her and Ricky Gerard do the fast
- 1:25:12Kip toes to bar And like she I'm pretty sure she won the toe to
- 1:25:18bar event where it was run 3 miles and 90 toes to bar in
- 1:25:212021. Like she's in the running to win
- 1:25:25that event. I I think Hayley Adams is in the
- 1:25:27running to win that event too, but.
- 1:25:30I don't like, I don't like roll for the bench press.
- 1:25:34No, but do you like Hayley Adams over her in the bench press?
- 1:25:39No, she can't jump rope. Do you like Reese Littlewood,
- 1:25:42Maddie Fouts over her in the bench press?
- 1:25:43I don't. They're little bitty girls.
- 1:25:45Like I, you know, who are you going to pick over?
- 1:25:48Like those women I don't think are are going to be right there
- 1:25:51with her, right? What I'm?
- 1:25:52Saying is I don't think Abby, like Abby Dolman, her home runs,
- 1:25:58I think or she's not going to beat Olivia and I don't think
- 1:26:01she'll beat Lucy and I don't think she'll beat Emma and a lot
- 1:26:04of these workouts. What I'm saying is is that Emily
- 1:26:07could be like top top 4 going into the last event based on
- 1:26:11what you're the. The story you're selling right
- 1:26:13here and then. She goes into the bench and just
- 1:26:15falls out. Well, when I say I don't, I
- 1:26:18think she'll be good at at the Gwen workout, I still think a
- 1:26:21lot of women are going to beat her.
- 1:26:22I, when I'm, I'm saying I don't think she'll be 17th, you know
- 1:26:26what I mean? It'll be 8th.
- 1:26:29I'm not. I, I if she was top four, that'd
- 1:26:32be pretty wild. I don't think she's good enough
- 1:26:35to take a spot from these girls with these workouts.
- 1:26:39Now you have a competition that's in like Dubai where it
- 1:26:42slants aerobic capacity, sure, but not here.
- 1:26:48Moving on down, Claudie Gluck and Hattie Canyo.
- 1:26:53Cloudy. Cloudy Glick.
- 1:26:55We apologize for the misspellings of your name.
- 1:26:57We know how to spell your names. We're typing this in as fast as
- 1:27:01we can. Olivia Geisthart on the bottom
- 1:27:07there, Caitlin Bernadin, Liz Wishart.
- 1:27:10Rebecca Fusole. Yeah, I struggled with Caitlin
- 1:27:14Bernadin because I know she'll be really good at the 5K and I
- 1:27:16know she'll. But The thing is, dude, there's
- 1:27:19a lot of really good runners like it.
- 1:27:22It's a, it's a weird amount of really good runners in this
- 1:27:26field for the women. Like Emma's probably the best
- 1:27:30one, but Lucy is right behind her.
- 1:27:33Haley is right behind Lucy. Reese is a really good runner.
- 1:27:38Maddie Fouts is a really good runner.
- 1:27:42Like if Caitlin ends up 5th instead of instead of first.
- 1:27:47Yeah, that makes that further down.
- 1:27:49That's her home run, right? And I actually think she'll do
- 1:27:51really good at Gwen as well, but she ain't going to be those top
- 1:27:54five girls. And from there, I think it's
- 1:27:59going to be bad. That's fair.
- 1:28:06If you had to pick one woman who doesn't make it, is it Olivia on
- 1:28:10your 3? Yeah, yeah.
- 1:28:13Olivia's going to be coming back from the 5K.
- 1:28:16Wherever she ends up on the 5K, it helps her that it's a trail.
- 1:28:19Is she help? Is she last, Tyler?
- 1:28:22Who? Olivia on the trail run?
- 1:28:27Quite probably. I don't think she's last place
- 1:28:30but. Colin Brander.
- 1:28:31Who's you going to lose? Who's she going to beat?
- 1:28:34I think she'll beat Colin Brander.
- 1:28:35I think she'll beat some. I think she'll beat some of the
- 1:28:39girls in the bottom that we just don't.
- 1:28:41Boy, Colin Brander can run man like the.
- 1:28:44Win Mcgonigal's not good at great at running.
- 1:28:46Or at least she wasn't. Olivia's been working on it man.
- 1:28:49Her and Kyra are in the same camp.
- 1:28:51If Kyra got magically got good at running I'll put it past
- 1:28:53Olivia to improve. But that being said, Olivia
- 1:28:59let's just say 15th bottom 5, we'll say bottom 5.
- 1:29:03After that Olivia could win 3 events like Olivia's gonna her
- 1:29:08worst events, the first one and then so.
- 1:29:11She's gonna, she's gonna win the second one and she'll be like.
- 1:29:13Eighth, yeah, and then and then like the game and then she'll
- 1:29:17stay at 8th, but then like maybe not I I think she's in the
- 1:29:23running to win the ski tow to bar. 1/2 I think she'll be up
- 1:29:26there with the top girls. Dude, she's gonna have the
- 1:29:28fastest ski and she's really good at toes to bar.
- 1:29:32You know, I, I just, I just, they're sort.
- 1:29:35Of like me. She's a lot like me in a lot of
- 1:29:37ways. Gotcha gotcha.
- 1:29:39You should do Gwynn as well. Let's live stream that.
- 1:29:41I tell you what, let's go, let's let's do Gwynn.
- 1:29:44You verse me at 185, one week after Hernia.
- 1:29:48Why? And we'll see who wins.
- 1:29:50I can't. I could not.
- 1:29:51I don't think I could do I? I'm a week after surgery, man.
- 1:29:55I'm my whole my all of my junk's going to fall off my butt.
- 1:29:59We'll have to set a 23 minute time cap on that workout.
- 1:30:02I'm gonna know, I'm gonna know. Contact every single Rep.
- 1:30:07Right. So anyway, Olivia will be
- 1:30:11fighting her way back, but I just think she has so many home
- 1:30:16runs in this competition after the 5K that if it comes to if
- 1:30:22she has to win the last event, I don't put it past her to win the
- 1:30:24last event. Does that make sense?
- 1:30:28Yes. To get to get in like that's
- 1:30:30that's why. Moving on to the men, Roman
- 1:30:34Krenikov, Jeff Adler and now Colton Mertens, I guess Colton
- 1:30:38Mertens you always had in there. If you're at was asking why
- 1:30:41Jason's no longer on the list. He withdrew with a groin injury,
- 1:30:47which means that the five guys vying for it, Austin would be
- 1:30:51the one man out. You had Jason in fourth.
- 1:30:54I did. Is that because of programming?
- 1:30:57No. Just less fit.
- 1:31:02I just think Colton would beat him.
- 1:31:05Didn't we talk about last week that Austin and Colton, like
- 1:31:11Austin is going to beat Colton? Did we say that last week?
- 1:31:16I think you said that last week that like Austin, like Austin is
- 1:31:19always within one or two spots of Colton, but Colton could fall
- 1:31:22behind on the run or other things.
- 1:31:24Yeah, yeah. But they're.
- 1:31:28No, no, it's not that I've Colton benefits from the
- 1:31:32programming more than Austin does and a little bit of it is
- 1:31:38that. So here's the thing.
- 1:31:40Let's go, let's go event by event with Colton and Austin.
- 1:31:42OK, the 5K Austin, Austin wins, right all day.
- 1:31:49Gwen, I'm actually going to take Colton instead of Austin.
- 1:31:52You're wrong. And I don't put it past Austin
- 1:31:55to make a huge mistake in Quinn. That's what you're resting on.
- 1:32:01Though very they're very close, very close.
- 1:32:03I would say they're very close, but I'll take.
- 1:32:05Colton We'll give them 00. Now, Austin Austin's still net.
- 1:32:08Lead. We'll know.
- 1:32:09We'll know Saturday morning whether or not John's prediction
- 1:32:12is. Right.
- 1:32:12Hey, hold on. Austin's still net lead,
- 1:32:14correct? Correct.
- 1:32:16The Todebar ski event, I think Colton is in the running to win
- 1:32:20that event. I don't think Austin is.
- 1:32:24Austin's never been very good at GHD events.
- 1:32:26Austin does not ski the way Colton skis.
- 1:32:29Colton's actually a pretty filthy skier.
- 1:32:32And Austin's not been 'cause that's all he freaking did.
- 1:32:36I'm not saying he isn't, I just don't understand how he actually
- 1:32:39could be a. Filthy ski.
- 1:32:40I actually think Colton gains ground on him in that Ski
- 1:32:44Totobar workout. I don't think Austin will be
- 1:32:46bad, but Austin is not gonna ski at the at the same pace that
- 1:32:50Colton will and Colton's totobar pace is going to be faster than
- 1:32:54his. I think Colton's in the winning
- 1:32:55the in the running to win that workout and Austin's going to be
- 1:32:59like 4th or 5th, right? So net for me, it was net even.
- 1:33:06Let's see, let's still give Austin the lead.
- 1:33:09OK, OK, 4th event. What is it Spin?
- 1:33:13I can't remember anymore. The the 3030 we didn't do the
- 1:33:1730. Sandbags.
- 1:33:18I think Colton, I think Colton and Austin are one and two and
- 1:33:21I'll take Colton. Is that is that fair?
- 1:33:24I'll bet you a dollar right now Austin beats Colton in.
- 1:33:26Network Colton wins that one. Colton will win that one.
- 1:33:28Austin's going to beat Colton in network.
- 1:33:30Well, you want to bet 20 on it, We'll just have a whole bunch of
- 1:33:32$20 bets. Just a lot of gentleman's bets
- 1:33:34at a dollar. Look at look at last year.
- 1:33:36Colton made-up all the ground on the sandbag squats, the feed
- 1:33:39sack squats. And the first I could see Colton
- 1:33:42squat cleaning. The feedback.
- 1:33:44Squat is. Very different.
- 1:33:46Hey, I could see, I could see Colton squat cleaning the first
- 1:33:49sandbag and that's the difference.
- 1:33:53Like everybody else gets the sandbag in position and he just
- 1:33:55squat cleans it from the ground. Dear Allison, if I lose a dollar
- 1:33:59'cause you screwed this up, I'm gonna beat your.
- 1:34:01Ass anyway anyways. 21 dollars. I think, but does it, does it
- 1:34:04listen, does it really matter? I think Austin is second place
- 1:34:07in that. I think they're very close to
- 1:34:09each other. So between that one, the
- 1:34:13Totobarski 1, I think they're even if not Colton, a slight
- 1:34:20lead from the 5K that Austin beat him in.
- 1:34:24Would you agree yes or no? Yes, no, but I'll go with it.
- 1:34:29The legless handstand, walk, squat, front squat workout.
- 1:34:33I think Austin wins that. I think Colton gets top five.
- 1:34:37OK, so Austin's back ahead now Austin's back.
- 1:34:39Ahead, I don't think Colton gets top five on that one.
- 1:34:41Who? Who's top five?
- 1:34:43Tell me. Roman, Jeff.
- 1:34:49Austin, Victor. And then Colton, dude, there's
- 1:34:53not a lot. Saxon.
- 1:34:55No shot. No shot Saxon gets buried by
- 1:34:58those squads anyway. There's not a lot.
- 1:35:01There's not a lot. And that helps Colton.
- 1:35:03Nick. Nick.
- 1:35:04Matthew. It's too much fitness for Nick
- 1:35:06Matthew. So let's say Austin has a little
- 1:35:11bit of a lead going into the last event and then there are 30
- 1:35:17bench press, 200 double unders and a lunge to the finish.
- 1:35:21Are you going to bet on Austin to come clutch and beat Colton
- 1:35:25in that? Are you going to bet on Colton
- 1:35:27to come through and beat Austin in that?
- 1:35:29Colton might beat Austin, but but not but but not by it
- 1:35:32enough. OK, I'm going to say he does.
- 1:35:38Fine. OK.
- 1:35:43I. And I'm cool if you want.
- 1:35:45To it's just, it's just different than what you said
- 1:35:47last week. No, I mean, I have the
- 1:35:49programming now. I have the programming now most
- 1:35:52of the programming like it's it's the ski Todebar 1 is
- 1:35:57really, really swaying me and the Gwynn element is really,
- 1:36:01really swaying me. I.
- 1:36:03Think they're swaying you too far?
- 1:36:04I think Colton will do really good in the Gwynn workout.
- 1:36:07He could win the Gwynn workout and I think Austin, I honestly
- 1:36:13think he'll either go too slow or he'll make a mistake.
- 1:36:15I just do. I just do.
- 1:36:16I'm going to bank on that mistake.
- 1:36:18We've seen it so many times. I'm banking on that mistake.
- 1:36:24Do you think I'm wrong in banking on that mistake?
- 1:36:26Yeah. No.
- 1:36:30Total, total disagreement on that.
- 1:36:36Victor Hoffer 5th. Saxon, Pantrick 6th.
- 1:36:40Noah Wilson ahead of Quinn Robinson, wrong.
- 1:36:44Nick Matthew ahead of Quinn Robinson also.
- 1:36:47I mean there's a good news that Quinn there aren't strict hands
- 1:36:50and push ups, but there are bench press.
- 1:36:52I think Noah will beat Quinn Quinn in the final event.
- 1:36:56What is this? What is this?
- 1:36:58What is this? He's thinking he can't 3 dot me.
- 1:37:01OK, if you don't want to say it out loud then text me.
- 1:37:06Sam de Meester. Oh, OK.
- 1:37:10I'm. I think you you're hating on
- 1:37:12Seth Stovall because he never delivered for you.
- 1:37:14I think so. Will that be a good reason to
- 1:37:16hate? On him.
- 1:37:17Is Seth even trying this season to compete or is he just yeah,
- 1:37:19mayhem? I don't actually don't know the
- 1:37:23answer to that question. He's falling off the radar any
- 1:37:25I. Don't.
- 1:37:26I don't feel like he's trying to compete.
- 1:37:28I'm surprised by Enrico Zanotti. I think that's probably the one.
- 1:37:30I would say you probably have to move up.
- 1:37:32Mason Why did Mason dirty? I think Enrique, Enrique Zanoni
- 1:37:37is really fit compared to guys that have not made the games.
- 1:37:41I think the stuff that Enrico Zanoni would normally be home
- 1:37:45runs for as it's stalled out. No, it's stalled out by
- 1:37:48something else that's in the workout.
- 1:37:50For example, the legless handstand walk workout.
- 1:37:53He'd be great at those. Front squats are not light.
- 1:37:57He talent plummets isn't going to be great at that.
- 1:37:58One of the slowest. He's one of the weakest people
- 1:38:01in the field, so. Is Emily Rolf?
- 1:38:06He'll be fine. No, dude, they're not the same.
- 1:38:09They're not the same caliber. No, they're not.
- 1:38:12I think I think Enriquez Zanotti gets top 10.
- 1:38:17I think you're wrong. Yeah, I say, I say.
- 1:38:19I say no. OK here.
- 1:38:23How about this? How about this?
- 1:38:23How about this? Both of you get 2 statements and
- 1:38:30if one of you gets them both right, like changes to this that
- 1:38:35I'm wrong, then you are I will call you the senior analyst of
- 1:38:40the Cross, a fit world for three weeks or the expert analyst of
- 1:38:44the CrossFit world until the next semi final.
- 1:38:47And Enrique, Enrique, Enrique Zanotti gets top 10.
- 1:38:51OK. And Emily Rolf is outside the
- 1:38:54top 10. OK, Tyler.
- 1:38:58Austin Hatfield beats Colton Mertens and scroll up real
- 1:39:04quick. I feel like that one could go
- 1:39:06either way and you're really like you just.
- 1:39:08Pick. You didn't even pick hard ones.
- 1:39:09I've picked like ones that are. Tricky.
- 1:39:11Like I respect Spence like this is actual.
- 1:39:13Like OK, he we really disagree here.
- 1:39:16I really disagree. Cause Tyler's like, hey, three
- 1:39:19and four. It's like right there.
- 1:39:21Austin could give you a win. Austin could win the
- 1:39:25competition. Wait, those top 4?
- 1:39:27I want to hear something like Gabby Mcgall wins.
- 1:39:29Before Tyler. Before Tyler goes any of those
- 1:39:32top 4I do want to say this for all of any of them are
- 1:39:36listening. I know Roman's big fan Jeff
- 1:39:38listens to every show. So any of those top 4 can be
- 1:39:42rearranged in any order. This is what I've what I think
- 1:39:46is going to happen. Austin could win it like those
- 1:39:49four. It was very, very close.
- 1:39:53Go ahead. Hey, hold on, there's some
- 1:39:54breaking news. Deanna Rusini burner account.
- 1:39:58This just in Hayley Adams. Misspelled that one too.
- 1:40:02Caught at adults only resort with Mason Griffin allegedly per
- 1:40:06my sources. Man Mason.
- 1:40:08Did all of a sudden. Diana is getting crazy.
- 1:40:11All right, go ahead. Sorry, Tyler, Go ahead.
- 1:40:18Tell us something that's going to happen that's not.
- 1:40:20Love you Kenya, I love you. I think which which workout do
- 1:40:31you think Colton's going to win? I think he could win a few of
- 1:40:37them. Which ones?

- 1:40:41Is your favorite that he the ski 1 definite?
- 1:40:44And the ski one. And the sandbag one.
- 1:40:49And then Gwen. I think he could win any of
- 1:40:51those 3. Lucy Mcgonagall get top five.
- 1:40:56How about that? Even that, I don't think it's
- 1:41:02that big stretch. All right, fine, I'll make it
- 1:41:05hard then. Roma Karanikov won't be in the
- 1:41:08top three. There we go there.
- 1:41:11We go, There we go. I'll take the Lucy one and the
- 1:41:13Roman one. No, no, no, no.
- 1:41:17The Austin Colton 1 is a definite, and then the Roman
- 1:41:20one's the other. One OK, OK.
- 1:41:22All right. I made one hard but the other
- 1:41:25one like. That's saying that Tyler is.
- 1:41:27I'll accept that. John's wrong on 2 accounts and
- 1:41:32yeah on the top 4. I I will.

- 1:41:51Got something every week now though, John.
- 1:41:53Yeah, I know. That's why I said it.
- 1:41:54But go ahead. All right, all right, We're
- 1:41:58going to play a new game. No blind rankings.
- 1:42:02This one is Name That athlete I'm going to put up on the
- 1:42:06screen. A little chart, a little table,
- 1:42:09and it's going to have their Games history.
- 1:42:13Oh man. And you have to pick who that
- 1:42:16athlete is. I love this.
- 1:42:18I don't remember who I picked on there, so I can't give you any
- 1:42:22hints. So we're not wait one more.
- 1:42:24Time. What's the rules?
- 1:42:28Let's just play it. Name This athlete competed in
- 1:42:32the Games 232425 Fortieth and 23 team first place women in 2025.
- 1:42:4129th PL. Come on, Tyler.
- 1:42:44Start with an easy one, yeah? I don't know the team that won
- 1:42:48last year. Throw out a guess.
- 1:42:50Throw out a guess. She's last played.
- 1:42:51She sucks. Patrick Rios.
- 1:42:55Not Patrick Rios. What's his name?
- 1:42:59I'm just it's, it's skipping me. Loves her PCPC.
- 1:43:04Loves her. Patrick Clark.
- 1:43:06Sorry, I don't know why. That's Eric Kaya, no.
- 1:43:09No, Emily Deroy, yes. OK, Ding Ding, deroy, I'm going.
- 1:43:14To suck at this game. Obviously, that's all we have
- 1:43:19John here to try to bail you out.
- 1:43:20Here we go. Next up, 2018 through 2022, skip
- 1:43:2923. And in 2024, best finish was
- 1:43:32fifth in 2021. Can I guess how even even with
- 1:43:42your confused space I can tell the 5th place should give it
- 1:43:44away? Ah yes, the 5th.
- 1:43:48Place Clydesdale loves this guy that should that should have
- 1:43:54gave it away. Saxon Pantry.
- 1:43:56Nailed it, they say. When you say like I could see in
- 1:44:00your brain there is nothing happening.
- 1:44:02It's just. Blank dude.
- 1:44:03I had no idea about that one until the 5th place.
- 1:44:06I did not know that one until the 5th place and then I knew it
- 1:44:09from the 5th place all. Right Next up, the athletes, a
- 1:44:14male, 21 through 24. Heinrich Kapalinen.
- 1:44:18Jorge Fernandez. OK, definitely not Jorge.
- 1:44:23Henrik Kapalinen. How did you know Henrik
- 1:44:25Kapalinen? What what clues you into Henrik
- 1:44:27Kapalinen that finishes? He was 24th and 14th and he was
- 1:44:3124, two years row 14th. I just remember, I remember him
- 1:44:34jumping 10 spots when I looked at a thing.
- 1:44:36This is an autism test is what this is.
- 1:44:39No, it it's unique because like if you look at him on the
- 1:44:42leaderboard ever, he was 24th, 24th of our team.
- 1:44:44Like it was just you remember those types of things.
- 1:44:50People want a different title? I don't know.
- 1:44:52You remember those types of things.
- 1:44:53All right, next one. Here we go.
- 1:44:56It's a woman. She was on a team once, in 2019.
- 1:45:00Oh, this one's interesting. Tyler, hold on.
- 1:45:11Who's still around from 2016? I love this girl still around.
- 1:45:14I love this girl runner. She's a runner.
- 1:45:16She's a runner. She's a track star.
- 1:45:20I think so. I think so.
- 1:45:21From one of the Nordic countries.
- 1:45:25No, no, but she races with the girl that's in the Nordic
- 1:45:28country all the time. Not Danny Spiegel.
- 1:45:32Jamie Simmons. Christy Yermo, is that it?
- 1:45:36Is it Christy Yermo? Have you gone 100?
- 1:45:39Yeah. Wow, this is nuts.
- 1:45:41I wasn't confident on that one, but.
- 1:45:45Yeah, the team one gives it away.
- 1:45:46Next up, it's a male team in 2016, 30th in 2020 and 29th in
- 1:45:5323. You can do this, Tyler.
- 1:45:56You can do this one. I think you can do this one.
- 1:46:01The 6th place team. In 2016.
- 1:46:06It's a male. I know, but if you think I'm a
- 1:46:08tall you should get it. This is crazy.
- 1:46:13David Sharonke, I can't watch you struggle with that.
- 1:46:15That's it's David. I'm.
- 1:46:16Not struggling, there's nothing loading.
- 1:46:20Hey if you clip this can you put the Internet loading on this?
- 1:46:28How do you not get that one, Tyler?
- 1:46:30Now you can take whatever goes on in Patrick Star's head.
- 1:46:32That's what's happening right now.
- 1:46:34This is just like I'm. I'm reaching and there's nothing
- 1:46:37there. This is fine.
- 1:46:39They're getting harder. 2425 women 14th and 15th not.
- 1:46:43Not anymore. No, they're not getting harder.
- 1:46:45Tyler. He thought, I guess you should
- 1:46:54get this one dude. Lucy Mcgonigal.
- 1:46:57No great Grace Walton. Nailed it.
- 1:47:03Wow. You you should have had a better
- 1:47:05guess on that one. That was the best guess I could
- 1:47:08come up. With Here We Go, Next up it's
- 1:47:10another woman. She's competed in the Masters
- 1:47:14and she competed in the Games in 2025.
- 1:47:18You got this one. Masters gives it away.
- 1:47:20She did she both of them. No dude, she's Canadian.
- 1:47:24Roll. Oh yeah, yeah.
- 1:47:28Yeah. I nailed that.
- 1:47:30Carolyn Prevo. God, this is insane, John.
- 1:47:41I think an athlete. Here we go.
- 1:47:43We got three more. Can John go A10 for 10?
- 1:47:46Oh, we're getting a little bit old now.
- 1:47:49Car. Wait, wait, no, no, no.
- 1:47:51It's. 2019. 2019 get dude. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 1:47:59Oh, there we go. We.
- 1:48:02Got it. Job yeah 2019 help you.
- 1:48:05Emily Deroy bailed me out on that.
- 1:48:07I was like, who's on our team? Did 2019 help you out on that?
- 1:48:112016, Actually, I was like, he's been around a long time.
- 1:48:14James Newberry. I was hoping that the Roy and
- 1:48:16and Newberry was far enough, far enough apart that you wouldn't
- 1:48:19put the two together. All right, here we go. 2017
- 1:48:23through 2023 every year in 2023, second place on a team.
- 1:48:28What male athlete? Tim Fossum.
- 1:48:33Can't even let Tyler think about that one.
- 1:48:35I was never going. To get there, he wasn't going to
- 1:48:38get there. And the last one.
- 1:48:40Can John get them all right easily?
- 1:48:43Women, 1414 through 2018. Sung Young Choi No, it's not Sun
- 1:48:49Young. Too bad.
- 1:48:51You can do it. You can do it.
- 1:48:52You can get this one the 6th place you give it away. 4th.
- 1:48:58Yeah, it's what? No, no, no, she got 6th. 6th.
- 1:49:04Somebody doesn't like the sunglasses?
- 1:49:06Little gymnastic girl. She's good at muscle UPS.
- 1:49:12She got 6th place and then she made it a couple years and kind
- 1:49:15of sucked, but you know, she made it OK.
- 1:49:21OK, San Francisco is famous for its what?
- 1:49:26Wooden ships. Dude, the Golden Gate.
- 1:49:32Emily Bridgers Yeah, that's how it is done.
- 1:49:35This man, I should have given him clues.
- 1:49:37Yeah, I was on this game. This is the type of stuff that.
- 1:49:45I I love this game. I think next time I do, I don't
- 1:49:52you're. Really good at that.
- 1:49:53You you got every single one right, right?
- 1:49:55I I don't, I don't. It is annoying that I watch you
- 1:49:57struggle with it, but you know how easy this stuff is for me.
- 1:50:02I could just I just put it in the fire and burn it in the
- 1:50:07trash can. I'm I think I'm most impressed
- 1:50:08by David Shorunky. Yeah, that's crazy.
- 1:50:11Like that's a deep cut there. Well, he was interspersed like
- 1:50:16he's, he's easy because like he wasn't, he didn't make it very
- 1:50:19much, but then he randomly made it.
- 1:50:21Yeah, but the problem is, like, as you go through a list of
- 1:50:23possible names, Shirunke's like not on the list.
- 1:50:29Like, if I'm thinking of people like who could be, I don't think
- 1:50:31of Shirunke as a guy that I'm going to pick.
- 1:50:33Yeah, but he like made it and then went to him and then made
- 1:50:35it like it's, there's a pattern to it.
- 1:50:38Something like that, obviously. All right.
- 1:50:42And finally, Legends after Mayhem next week, the Legends
- 1:50:48Championship out in Del Mar, CA. We are.
- 1:50:56I would destroy Brian at this that.
- 1:50:59Depends on who I pick. No, no, no.
- 1:51:01Wrong, Brian. Depends on who I pick.
- 1:51:04Oh, you can go WFP rankings next next time.
- 1:51:08God, I couldn't think of a more. WFP, the final, the three of
- 1:51:12events last year, how they do all.
- 1:51:14Right, guys, we're going to go COPACUR 2015.
- 1:51:17That's the rankings you're going to go with.
- 1:51:19Athens throw down the last five years.
- 1:51:24Legends. They started out sending
- 1:51:26invites. And never stopped.
- 1:51:29And never stopped. So their next weekend, their
- 1:51:33website has says 20 elite individual athletes and then 30
- 1:51:42for masters up until 54 and then it goes down to 15 and that's on
- 1:51:47their website. The interesting thing here is if
- 1:51:56you want to count the number of women, if I'm not going to
- 1:52:00actually count it for you because I've done it over and
- 1:52:02over and over again, there are 24 women on this list.
- 1:52:08I will go to the elite individual, elite women, 35 to
- 1:52:1139. So
- 1:52:123456789101112131415161718192021222324252627282930313233343536 women are on the 35 to 39 age
- 1:52:40group division. There are multiple divisions
- 1:52:43that are all like this. It's divisible by 12.
- 1:52:48I have heard that invites went out recently like within the
- 1:52:53last 24 hours to some individuals.
- 1:52:55They went to go register and they got denied.
- 1:52:59Gotcha said sorry it's full. He can no longer register and
- 1:53:02they were told well you can just join the wait list.
- 1:53:04Got to be quicker than that. So yeah, here it is, 20 men,
- 1:53:07twenty women, and then down here in the age group.
- 1:53:10You're not sharing. I'm not it's the wrong, wrong
- 1:53:14tab. Let's see, you let me you let me
- 1:53:20count by myself and I didn't have it on the screen.
- 1:53:22I was like, I I thought that's what you're doing, but I wasn't
- 1:53:25sure. Sorry man, what is going on?
- 1:53:30Get that out of here and then we will bring up not that one, this
- 1:53:39one. There we go.
- 1:53:44Yeah, 30 men, thirty women and age 35 to 39.
- 1:53:48Has 36. Has 36.
- 1:53:52We're a week away. We don't have programming.
- 1:53:56People are trying to sign up. They got to fly out to
- 1:53:57California. What is going on?
- 1:54:01A lot. Boy, we had a big problem last
- 1:54:04week. We weren't going to get enough
- 1:54:05athletes. Now we got too many athletes.
- 1:54:07Boy, I tell you what, that frog hopped Dang near 6 feet to the
- 1:54:11Creek over there in the West Mississippi.
- 1:54:15Yes, if I want to tailor on this show, I would have invited him
- 1:54:18for making fun of my accent there, John.
- 1:54:20That's fair. I'm sorry.
- 1:54:22I take it back. I'm sorry.
- 1:54:24Let's go ahead. Say something, say something
- 1:54:26about I'm getting, I'm getting my nuts chopped off tomorrow.
- 1:54:29Just just, is that fair? The old cut nut surgery.
- 1:54:33Got it. I feel bad now.
- 1:54:36I don't want. I don't want.
- 1:54:37To make OK John, I feel worse about making the joke now.
- 1:54:43What are the pro individuals looking like?
- 1:54:46Well, Nicole Hanches has accepted her invite letting you
- 1:54:50know comment. She's accepted whether she
- 1:54:52actually receives it. Or not.
- 1:54:53I did. I did get a message.
- 1:54:56I did get a message from some masters athlete, was ranked
- 1:55:00300th plus in her division. Got an invite but she can't make
- 1:55:06it. My mom got an invite.
- 1:55:09They're going, they're going deep into the invites.
- 1:55:12No, she's going to Magic City. She can't go to ball.
- 1:55:16OK, that'll be fun, though. Do we have a problem on our
- 1:55:20hands? Like, are we, we don't know the
- 1:55:22workouts? Are they still like, fiddling
- 1:55:23with the schedule if they're going to be adding athletes,
- 1:55:26changing lanes? Adding.
- 1:55:28Heats adding heats like. A little nervous about this,
- 1:55:33should I? No, dude.
- 1:55:36They had an unsurmountable problem last week and they fixed
- 1:55:39it, and if anything, they got problems right now they're going
- 1:55:42to fix them. Is is Del Mar more or less
- 1:55:48ticket sales than West Coast Classic at the StubHub Center?
- 1:55:52More. More people people, people want
- 1:55:56to go to Del Mar, dude. Got too many people.
- 1:55:58People wanted to go to Carson. I I but it was.
- 1:56:01Only individuals and teams right in in Carson.
- 1:56:07Yes. It wasn't masters.
- 1:56:09There's no masters, no. Yeah.
- 1:56:11So that's, I mean on that alone they'll have more ticket sales.
- 1:56:14Even the last week people are going to scramble and go fly
- 1:56:16across the country to California.
- 1:56:18Want to put bets on how many people actually show up?
- 1:56:20That's what I mean, yeah. Like it's one thing that that
- 1:56:25you were kind of planning on it. You you've built this around it.
- 1:56:27But like to have your family and friends, unless you're from
- 1:56:30Southern California, to say, you know what, you got the invite in
- 1:56:35eight days, I'm going to fly from Pennsylvania out to
- 1:56:38California. That's fair dude, that's
- 1:56:40impossible to travel like with that type of notice.
- 1:56:43Like unless it's your spouse or you're a kid in this case, like
- 1:56:47because it's masters. Especially like plane tickets
- 1:56:50like are not great. You can drive yeah in.
- 1:56:54Pennsylvania, you can't. I could.
- 1:56:56I could do it. You leave now.
- 1:56:57You can get there. Nope.
- 1:56:58What's wrong? One?
- 1:56:59I bet you're somebody who also thinks it's utmost you can't
- 1:57:03come up here. Yeah, it's it most.
- 1:57:07Stupid it most up, up most John. The good news Cross.
- 1:57:12That's right. Luckily flights are reasonable
- 1:57:14too and Del Mar is a cheap stay. All all both very promising
- 1:57:19reasons to that it's going to be packed house.
- 1:57:22Same with the the the games. Like, I've heard that that area
- 1:57:27is pretty pretty inexpensive too.
- 1:57:30Pretty cheap. Pretty cheap.
- 1:57:33I don't know man. I I I'm afraid this masters
- 1:57:36thing was a test. It failed and we're failing.
- 1:57:41Well, I want to. I want to see it play out first.
- 1:57:46I think the timing is an issue. First of all, I think.
- 1:57:49Yeah, I was going to say, could they have succeeded with the way
- 1:57:51that they administered? The they structure they should
- 1:57:54have gone with the open instead of giving themselves such short
- 1:57:58like 2 weeks or three weeks until their event.
- 1:58:01Of course, like we know that the Masters are pretty notorious for
- 1:58:05cheating as well and there was no way that they could verify
- 1:58:08the open. So I, I don't know that they
- 1:58:11can, I can blame him. But they're going down to the
- 1:58:13top 300, so it's fine. It's you're decently fit, you're
- 1:58:16going. Jamie's positive on the matter.
- 1:58:21Grant's going. Sorry.
- 1:58:24Grant's going though, so. Grant be our local correspondent
- 1:58:29there. Yeah, Mason and and Mayhem and
- 1:58:32Grant and Del Mar. Wouldn't be fair if they went
- 1:58:35both to mayhem. Yeah, they need to spread out.
- 1:58:38They can both qualify that way. I don't know.
- 1:58:40I keep an keep an eye on it. I have no idea what that's going
- 1:58:43to be like. How how it works works out for
- 1:58:47them? I don't, I, I struggle with
- 1:58:50having a master's competition like in that with an elite
- 1:58:54individuals because now you're going to have programming that's
- 1:58:56going to be the same across the board.
- 1:58:59I think I would assume it's for everybody and there's so many
- 1:59:02heats and so many divisions and trying to get through people
- 1:59:05that it's going to be tough. I don't know how you get through
- 1:59:10that many divisions quickly in three days and do all that.
- 1:59:15I that's the one that's going to be pretty interesting to see how
- 1:59:18it how it plays out. I wish nothing but the best for
- 1:59:21them. I mean, I hope it works out.
- 1:59:24I'm just nervous for them because it's people are planning
- 1:59:27to fly out there. You're not.
- 1:59:29I don't know how you get stuff printed, if you're going to have
- 1:59:32any type of like placards or anything you're going to put on
- 1:59:35the rig or like at the end of a lane or anything like that.
