  I think it's, I think we're, I think we're six hours off of
• 1:43
  British time. Yeah.
• 1:45
  Yeah, I don't know. I'm an American, dumb American.
• 1:47
  I don't know how to pronounce names or countries or anything

  like that. I will.
• 1:53
  Melanie Hodge, member for 27 months.
• 1:56
  That's longer than our show's been around.
• 1:59
  Was she the first member? No, but she was definitely right
• 2:04
  there. I think there was one or two
• 2:06
  before her. Maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe.
• 2:10
  I definitely. She'd signed up before it was a
• 2:12
  thing. So anyway.
• 2:16
  I do, I am going to have to put Abby Grace to bed at some point
• 2:20
  during this show. So if spin, if you have anything
• 2:23
  that you're like that, you're like, yeah, John's not going to
• 2:27
  talk a lot at this time. Like, like let me know.
• 2:30
  And then 'cause I need like, I need like 7 minutes.
• 2:35
  Did you? See it?
• 2:36
  That's crazy. I'm going to get up and do milk
• 2:40
  at at some point. I'm going to get up and do milk
• 2:42
  at some point. But then once, once she gets her
• 2:44
  like she got chug that milk and then she'll be out.
• 2:46
  She'll be good. OK.
• 2:48
  All right. First of all, thank you guys for
• 2:50
  joining us a day early. We've got some stuff going on.
• 2:54
  Tomorrow night. John needs to pack because he's
• 2:57
  going to Miami Beach for the first time.
• 3:01
  I am representing the spin. I'm thinking about just bringing
• 3:05
  spin shirts. Yeah, not a bad idea.
• 3:09
  Yeah, I think that would. Be a bad idea I'm.
• 3:11
  Going to do my JY barbell shirts and then spin shirts and if they
• 3:14
  asked me to wear the Jim Reaper shirt I'm going to be like no.
• 3:17
  No. You'll wear that.
• 3:18
  You can wear that at Syndicate and then those.
• 3:20
  Hoodies do look cool. Though Yeah, hoodie.
• 3:22
  I mean, I like their clothes. I I'm not a fan of their shorts,
• 3:25
  but I like their but they're everything else.
• 3:27
  I'm I'm AI really like their. Tyra likes their shorts.
• 3:30
  They're they're, they're short enough, but they're real tight
• 3:33
  in the crotch. I got too much going on for it
• 3:36
  to be for it to be good, good. None of it's good.
• 3:41
  It's all bad. That's what Tyler likes, right?
• 3:46
  I want a little, I want a little risk in my life, John.
• 3:49
  That's right, never know what's going to slip out there.
• 3:53
  Well, it wouldn't be the spin without some viewer comments.
• 3:56
  We are almost to 11,000. We, we made a strong push last
• 4:01
  week when I said we were close and now we're above 10,800.
• 4:05
  Actually we just added two in the last three minutes, 10,806.
• 4:10
  So if John was doing a ring muscle up for every subscriber,
• 4:17
  actually if John did a ring a ring muscle up and we got a new
• 4:20
  subscriber each time before he tore his PEC, we'd be at 11,000.
• 4:24
  Look at there. So.
• 4:26
  Boy, that was a real round way to get there.
• 4:28
  Spend All right, all right, it's.
• 4:30
  Kind of a tongue twister. Guys and word on the street is
• 4:33
  once we hit 11,000 me and Tyler are going to race 200 ring
• 4:37
  muscle. Up to 196.
• 4:39
  No, no, we're gonna go live for 200.
• 4:42
  That sounds terrible. Sounds like a boring show.
• 4:44
  Oh, yeah. All right.
• 4:45
  Viewer comments. If you're watching this
• 4:49
  Wednesday night. We thought the show was on
• 4:51
  Wednesday and you're wrong. Leave us a comment.
• 4:53
  We'll read it next week on Wednesday.
• 4:56
  Here we go. First one at Brandon Britton
• 5:00
  1111. Thank you JY.
• 5:03
  He dropped into my gym for 26.2, gave me some tips on improvement
• 5:08
  and I went from 16 ring muscle ups to finishing the workout in
• 5:12
  1339. Gosh, that's crazy improvement.
• 5:16
  That's He almost beat me. I would have died had the end of
• 5:21
  that 16 to 10. Yeah, yeah.
• 5:24
  Yeah, I tried to. Fail.
• 5:27
  I saw you do that, John. You, you, you.
• 5:29
  Finally, you made sure you were accountable for everything this
• 5:33
  week. Yeah, no, no, no, I'm actually
• 5:38
  me and Leslie are thinking about making a new gym, a different
• 5:41
  gym home. And this CrossFit KTX is where
• 5:46
  we dropped in at Great people. Brandon's one of those people.
• 5:50
  He's a big boy, too. His score is actually very
• 5:52
  impressive. Really.
• 5:54
  Yeah. He's like, I'd venture to say
• 5:56
  230. Like he's he's a thick guy, but
• 6:01
  moves very well for for a thick guy.
• 6:03
  So no, that's awesome, Brandon. I got that reminds me, I got to
• 6:07
  check in with my bodybuilder buddy to see if he did if he did
• 6:11
  it. How?
• 6:12
  How he did. He said I I checked in with him
• 6:14
  on Saturday. I was like, you did you do it?
• 6:16
  Yeah, he's like, I'm about to. And I was like if you get 1 ring
• 6:19
  muscle up at 260 lbs, please let me.
• 6:23
  Know dude, all right, do you know, do you guys know Marissa
• 6:26
  Flowers and no spend spend would know her, but it's it's it's her
• 6:29
  gym, her and her husband's gym OK.
• 6:31
  Is she going to teach you how to move faster?
• 6:33
  Dude, she can't teach me to be smaller.
• 6:35
  I mean, that's that's like she she to move at her speed.
• 6:38
  I have to just be smaller. We did.
• 6:41
  That what was what was her time on Fran?
• 6:44
  143. That's insane.
• 6:46
  One 45143 one or the other? I mean did you watch Trista
• 6:50
  Smith on the like the weapons grade video they did on the
• 6:54
  CrossFit game site? She finished in 152.
• 6:57
  That's. I don't know if I want to get
• 7:00
  into the fitness where I'm now pulling the bar down like I
• 7:03
  it's, I'm good. But you know, you really don't.
• 7:06
  When you can do Fran Unbroken, you really don't feel anything.
• 7:10
  No. Like I did Fran 215 unbroken
• 7:13
  like 2 years ago because I told, I told Andrew I've never done
• 7:18
  Fran. I've done friendly Fran.
• 7:19
  I've never done actual. Just you never did Fran until.
• 7:22
  Last year, no. This was like a big topic,
• 7:25
  Hiller. Sorry, sorry, sorry, Hiller.
• 7:31
  And well, I this was like a big topic in our when we back back
• 7:35
  in the day. I've done many, I've done
• 7:38
  fantasyland, I've done a whole bunch of versions of Fran, but
• 7:41
  I've never done just Fran regularly.
• 7:43
  And and I was like, I mean, I'm pretty sure I can do it
• 7:46
  unbroken. And and then I did it.
• 7:49
  I did it unbroken and I tagged him but would.
• 7:51
  You say 215, so you hit the you hit the milestone.
• 7:56
  I think it was 217. Yeah, yeah, but, but, but, but,
• 8:02
  but I did two extra pull ups. I did two extra pull ups.
• 8:07
  So on the set of 21 I did 23 pull ups.
• 8:10
  That's 2 seconds. I didn't mean to spin, I
• 8:13
  basically just hit record and went but but but all all this to
• 8:18
  say, if you can do it unbroken, you don't really feel anything
• 8:22
  until after. Right, I re I redid it a couple
• 8:26
  weeks, maybe a few months ago and PR to 2:38 I.
• 8:33
  Feel like you should be so much fascist.
• 8:34
  I know I do. Too.
• 8:37
  It was two years ago too. Is this it now?
• 8:40
  This, it was stuck at 2:43 for years and then I just like one
• 8:44
  day it was programmed and I was like, OK, here we go 238 and
• 8:48
  it's like exactly what you're saying.
• 8:50
  I felt good. And then like 5 minutes later I
• 8:52
  was like, I feel really not good.
• 8:55
  Yeah, your muscles just kind of fill up afterwards.
• 8:58
  Look, we got, is this our first doctor as a member?
• 9:01
  Doctor, welcome. Nah, we got it.
• 9:03
  We've got to have another doctor before that.
• 9:05
  They don't count if they don't put it in title.
• 9:07
  Yeah. That's true.
• 9:09
  Let's see second viewer comment that Jenny Sock 8320.
• 9:14
  Jon's story about the 70 plus year old participating in the
• 9:16
  open and practicing mobility made my heart grow bigger.
• 9:22
  I'm gonna I'm gonna make sure she hears that.
• 9:24
  Then that's that's very sweet. This is shout out to Miss Reba.
• 9:29

• 10:07
  Yeah, I'm not sure if you know, I don't know if the barbell spin
• 10:10

• 10:15
  multiple reasons. He may he may be stuck over
• 10:17
  here. Definitely go check it out
• 10:18
  vindicate.com. I I ran into Travis this
• 10:21
  weekend. He was that proven along with
• 10:23
  myself. Just chilling.
• 10:26
  Well, it was the fight gone bad, was that?
• 10:28
  Oh yeah. Yeah.
• 10:29
  So Gabe from Paper Street Coffee was there.
• 10:32
  Travis meme for time. How'd that go it?
• 10:38
  Was good. It was good.
• 10:39
  Lots of Adrian was there, Bischel is there the, oh, what's
• 10:48

  They those 3, David Adrian and Bischel flew in from Portugal
• 11:05
  and Friday night came in at like 8:00.
• 11:07
  So who knows how long they are on the on the plane.
• 11:10
  Stayed at Adrian's house overnight and then drove into
• 11:13
  Proven at 8:00 on Saturday morning.
• 11:17
  Troopers, that's a good 12 hours of sleep.
• 11:19
  Right there for the love of the game.
• 11:22
  Yeah, so dude, you did. Do you sleep on plane rides?
• 11:25
  No. You don't like planes?
• 11:27
  I know you like to drive me. I I actually do.
• 11:31
  I like planes. I don't like everything before
• 11:34
  you get on or off a plane. It just dude, it's the worst.
• 11:38
  Going through a freaking airport is the worst thing.
• 11:41
  But if you could put me on a plane, I'd love it.
• 11:44
  It's it's your mindset though about it going on to an airport.
• 11:46
  You just got to be chill. Yeah, I don't.
• 11:48
  I don't know. I'm going.
• 11:50
  Like I when I travel with people, a lot of times they're
• 11:52
  all just like anxious and have to get there really fast and
• 11:55
  like on a mission, I'm like, no, just enjoy yourself walking
• 11:58
  through the terminal. Just yeah dude, I'm A1 backpack.
• 12:01
  Just people watching, kind of a guy.
• 12:02
  I'll check my stuff so I don't have to even worry about it.
• 12:05
  Like I don't even care. Like I'll just check it, hang
• 12:07
  out back through. I was.
• 12:10
  Felt up in the line though, no matter what.
• 12:12
  But it's like somebody. Was smuggling something for?
• 12:14
  Sure, like I it's enough where I I the TSA guy knows me that
• 12:22
  doesn't. What's up?
• 12:24
  Steve. He's like, he's like, wait,
• 12:25
  wait, what we got going on here? I'm like, I don't know, man.
• 12:27
  You're the one who wants to do it.
• 12:29
  And then and then, and then I move on.
• 12:32
  I go, I go through the thing. I hold my hands up.
• 12:35
  And then every single time I look at the little board,
• 12:39
  there's just a, a big yellow dot right in my crotch.
• 12:42
  Every single time. No Nowhere else.
• 12:46
  Nothing. Ever.
• 12:47
  No, they could see peace things. Ever.
• 12:50
  And he just goes like, you know the drill.
• 12:52
  I feel like I'm in prison. Now for me, I'm, I'm relaxed
• 12:58
  when I'm in airports, but it's like I, you know, when you're at
• 13:02
  the grocery store, I'm like this.
• 13:04
  I don't know if other people like this, but it's like you're
• 13:06
  waiting on the meat, the meat aisles, you know, like not very
• 13:10
  big. And I'm always waiting on
• 13:11
  somebody to move out of the way of the steak.
• 13:14
  And I, I'm like, I know, you know, I'm here, like standing
• 13:17
  behind you and people just wander in front of you.
• 13:20
  It that's, that's the part that drives me nuts.
• 13:22
  It's like, just be, be cognizant that other humans are alive.
• 13:26
  Yeah. Get out of my way.
• 13:27
  Yeah, I. Had found it up and just go with
• 13:31
  my own world. Joel, the discounts don't work
• 13:34
  over here. I'd order myself in the US
• 13:35
  stores and have them shipped. That's right, code spin
• 13:39

  Koozie, another non crunched Crossfitter subscriber.
• 14:58
  They're everywhere. They're everywhere.
• 15:00
  I don't get it. I'd like to be part of the club
• 15:03
  of I'd like to be part of the club of spectators only.
• 15:06
  I don't participate because I find trying as hard as you can
• 15:09
  exercising too stressful but love spectating the sport of
• 15:14
  fitness. Don't try as hard as you can
• 15:16
  that it's easy. Just scale your effort as long
• 15:19
  as you're doing it. Scale.
• 15:21
  Your effort. Scale your effort.
• 15:22
  Listen, Megs, you don't, you don't have to do CrossFit.
• 15:25
  I love, I love all you guys. I mean, you know, you're
• 15:27
  probably going to die before I do, but I I still, I still love
• 15:32
  you guys. I sure hope we meet some of
• 15:35
  these people that don't do CrossFit, please at Knoxville
• 15:39
  and that'd be great. Love to.
• 15:41
  We'll meet you guys. Yeah, introduce yourself like
• 15:43
  for sure. We love everybody.
• 15:45
  I want to know you. Yes at Johnny drama probably
• 15:50
  shouldn't make fun of people from other countries names or
• 15:54
  learn how to say them. Just shows your typical American
• 15:58
  ignorance. I claimed ignorance before I
• 16:01
  said it. Really.
• 16:02
  Does I actually? Wrote Was this the New Zealand
• 16:05
  guy that had like the? Dumb name?
• 16:07
  Yeah, and then like followed by his buddy Rock V, which is I
• 16:16
  think I, I blew that dude's name up.
• 16:18
  I was like this is a good strong name.
• 16:20
  Yeah, I think the guy's actually from Australia, not New Zealand.
• 16:23
  That'll really piss. Him off they they get really mad
• 16:25
  about that, yeah. They will.
• 16:27
  Yeah, they do. So we'll, we'll try to do
• 16:29
  better, I guess. And.
• 16:32
  I think I should pronounce the names from now on.
• 16:34
  I feel like I'm the best name for monster.
• 16:35
  It'd be the last one and the last fewer.
• 16:37
  Comment Twin 6 Was there an updated score between the three
• 16:43
  open teams? Maybe I missed it in the
• 16:45
  episode. I know, yeah.
• 16:47
  I want to know this. I've gotten a lot of questions
• 16:50
  about this. Yeah, I I have to take some of
• 16:52
  the blame, maybe like 51% of the blame for not bringing it up.
• 16:57
  I did all the calculations, but our show was just so jam packed
• 17:03
  last week that I just totally wasted.
• 17:06
  So there's not much going on, as Hunter would say.
• 17:09
  So we could just make up stuff and do something.

  really matter if somebody is 121st versus 125th in this.
• 18:42
  It's it's the the common folk that really.
• 18:44
  Yeah, but I didn't, I didn't bring the average up either.
• 18:47
  It's. Like, yeah, well, I didn't do it
• 18:48
  either. So we're all we're all doing
• 18:50
  poorly this time, except for Tyler, who thinks he's not fit.
• 18:53
  We'll get into that. Yeah, we'll, we'll do that here
• 18:56
  in a second. Top woman, Carolyn Prevo, one of
• 18:58
  the fittest women in the hope and history, is proving herself
• 19:02
  on the barbell spin leaderboard. Kyra Milligan, she that was a a
• 19:09
  cheap shot that John got to put on his team.
• 19:12
  I need it look at look at this. This is.
• 19:14
  Ridiculous. Lido Calagiani.
• 19:16
  Look at that meat spin. Hannah Hardy, Nicolette
• 19:19
  Toragiani, Morgan Petullo, Nicole Hunches, Samantha Pugh,
• 19:24
  Ali Zirki and Megan A Post. Hilarious.
• 19:29
  Man I top 10. Apostle.
• 19:31
  Two in the women. That's crazy, man.
• 19:36
  She is. She is we're.
• 19:38
  We're getting ready for bed. I'm yeah all.
• 19:41
  Right. We.
• 19:42
  Will age group, You can't forget the age group.
• 19:45
  We got some age groupers. Shanna Bunce, Bunce Bunce, 4th
• 19:48
  place in the 60 to 64 year old division, John Kim 8th in the 55
• 19:53
  to 59 and Talia Vasaki in the 14 to 15 year old division is 23rd
• 19:58
  in the world. As for the three of us, Tyler,
• 20:03
  you're winning. 89 hundredth in the world, John 13 thousandth
• 20:07
  and me 101 because I couldn't do the workout this week.
• 20:12
  See what the bring a little bit of the weights into it.
• 20:16
  So I we'll see. We'll find out.
• 20:19
  Dude, if I you need you, you need to win.
• 20:23
  No, no, I'm expecting to get shafted.
• 20:26
  I'm, I'm saying, I'm saying you need to win.
• 20:29
  Why do I need to win? Because if I beat you in the
• 20:31
  open, quarterfinals is going to be bad for you.
• 20:35
  Like. Really bad.
• 20:36
  That's fair. Yeah.
• 20:37
  Like you like you like you should win here is what I'm
• 20:40
  saying. Yeah.
• 20:43
  So yeah, that's. How that's how we're.
• 20:46
  Doing that was so terrible. But what everybody wants to know
• 20:49
  is how are the teams doing? Who really cares about us?
• 20:53
  That is the average percentile. Wow, it's so much.
• 20:56
  Easier. I thought it was of all of our
• 20:58
  athletes. Oh my.
• 21:03
  Gosh, Yep, we'll start at the bottom in 3rd place at 73.4%.
• 21:09
  Just outside of the quarterfinal cut line on average for all of
• 21:12
  our athletes is no noble team. Oh, I.
• 21:18
  Was so nervous, gosh. Next up, second place, also just
• 21:28
  outside top 25 quarterfinals Trash Pandas.
• 21:33
  Wow, I expected you. To be first, Tyler, I really
• 21:36
  did. We're down 10%, guys.
• 21:37
  We got to step it up. Team meets spin The average
• 21:40
  athlete on team meets spin is actually a quarterfinals
• 21:43
  athlete. I I will say though, I sure hope
• 21:49
  I wish I had, I wish I had the the numbers from last week.
• 21:52
  But first of all, all three groups improved so they did
• 21:56
  better. They all moved up the
• 21:58
  leaderboard in Week 2 versus week one.
• 22:01
  It was the exact same order, but I had our team meets been had a
• 22:07
  2 point lead over both of you guys that were pretty much right
• 22:10
  on top of each other. So the gap is getting smaller as
• 22:15
  it gets more skilled. So it is still anybody's game
• 22:19
  heading into Week 3 coming up this weekend, so.
• 22:24
  You know what I'll do this year is I'll pull our leaderboard
• 22:27
  from last year and then this year and if you were across both
• 22:30
  of them, I will pull your percentiles and see see overall.
• 22:33
  Improvement of the of the. Spin thing.
• 22:35
  Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. That'd be all.
• 22:36
  Could you do that for everybody? Everybody.
• 22:39
  Dude that would be really cool and we could have like a top 10.
• 22:43
  A. Top 10 improved year over year.
• 22:47
  Oh man, like you should post that.
• 22:48
  I think that would be awesome and then we could have us 3 and
• 22:51
  just see what we look like. But you know, I think that would
• 22:54
  be really fun, that'd. Be awesome one more week, last
• 22:57
  place has to do an open workout twice.
• 23:01
  John, what would you pick right now?
• 23:04
  Would you pick workout one, workout 2 or workout three sight
• 23:07
  to unseen to do it twice? That's what I was.
• 23:10
  Wondering to do it twice or? That was what the penalty was.
• 23:13
  If you're at last, you got to do the workout.
• 23:15
  Oh, oh, oh. Don't.
• 23:17
  Don't rewrite them yet. Just go face value.
• 23:19
  Twice, Yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean workout too, I think
• 23:21
  would be fun to do double it. You got it.
• 23:25
  You got to double it, right. That's what we're what we're
• 23:27
  saying. So it'd be 43 months upset the
• 23:29
  end. I mean, I, I think that one
• 23:31
  would just be this is a 30 minute workout.
• 23:33
  We're going to have a good time. 24 minute time or yeah 30.
• 23:36
  Minute time cap. Yeah, I mean, I'm, I'm probably
• 23:40
  going to get captained, but, but I don't know though.
• 23:43
  Like I feel like I'd go at the same pace and I could hold the
• 23:47
  same pace until 40 ring muscle UPS and then it's just how long
• 23:51
  does, how long does 40 ring muscle UPS take?
• 23:54
  So like I'd take 16 minutes and then I'd have 14 minutes to do
• 23:57
  40. I think I finished that like.
• 24:00
  I'm definitely not doing the first one twice.
• 24:03
  Well, you see the first one. What would it be a a 24 minute
• 24:07
  AMRAP. I don't know if I could finish
• 24:12
  the whole thing. Even.
• 24:14
  Still, I was I was really tired at the end of. 100 And just
• 24:22
  what's that, 112 wall balls or 120?
• 24:26
  No, it's 246 to do it the whole way through.
• 24:28
  That much more 'cause I was, I would have been on the 40 wall
• 24:32
  balls. 132. Yeah, at the top.
• 24:37
  So like, yeah, I guess I'd start over, but I'd I'd think I'd get
• 24:41
  really, really slow. Yeah.
• 24:45
  So yeah. So the second one, but the third
• 24:48
  one, third one, honestly, if it is, if it is a barbell, I think
• 24:52
  it will be a barbell, but it'll just be light and it'll be
• 24:55
  barbell cycling and it might as well just it'll be, it won't
• 24:58
  test strength, it'll be weightlifting in an aerobic
• 25:01
  fashion. It won't be like you have to be
• 25:03
  strong to be great. Do you want to share your
• 25:05
  prediction and then we'll you can go take care of Miss Abigail
• 25:08
  and John or Tyler and I will go through.
• 25:10
  I I'm going to say it's going to be a 8 minute AMRAP of one 3595
• 25:18
  LB snatches and then 3691215 It just goes up bar facing burpees
• 25:23
  and snatches. That's my prediction.
• 25:25
  Super simple, super easy to do at water Palooza 13595.
• 25:30
  No, no. That for what?
• 25:32
  For what? For snatches.
• 25:34
  Yeah, I think that's what I, I think we will be let down as far
• 25:38
  as it's just happened so many times.
• 25:42
  When's the last time we've had a good strength test that Castro
• 25:46
  has wrote? The last good one was 23.3 and
• 25:50
  that was the escalating handstand push ups and snatches
• 25:53
  and that and that's one of the one of the best open workouts of
• 25:55
  all time. I, I everybody loves that
• 25:57
  workout. But wasn't that bars?
• 26:00
  Yeah, correct, correct. I'm saying when's the last time
• 26:03
  Castro has done a good strength workout?
• 26:08
  16 two for the Open, I mean, I would say 2020, but.
• 26:14
  That's the year that didn't happen.
• 26:16
  But I mean the open happened but the but like and that was back
• 26:19
  when 5. That was in October.
• 26:20
  Nobody. Did that was back when there was
• 26:21
  5 weeks. You know what I mean though.
• 26:23
  I'm talking like the last, I think last year's workout, if
• 26:26
  you made it 185 across the board, would have been one of
• 26:30
  the best workouts of all time. One of the.
• 26:32
  Best workout of all time is power clean Sandstand push ups.
• 26:35
  That's just because. You're you're you like it?
• 26:37
  That's your favorite? That's your favorite workout,
• 26:41
  John? You want to go do?
• 26:43
  Yeah. But are you guys saying 19.2?
• 26:47
  Because that's when they repeated it.
• 26:49
  He's saying that's the last time it was a good strength workout.
• 26:52
  I mean, I think, I think 2020 is probably the last year.
• 26:59
  But anyway, yeah, I'm going to go take care of, care of.
• 27:01
  Abby, All right, come on. Right back.
• 27:03
  All right. And a word from Paper Street
• 27:05
  Coffee. Paper Street Coffee,
• 27:22
  paperstreetcoffee.com and if you are in the Nashville area, head
• 27:28
  over to the Proven headquarters. You can get your own fresh TDC
• 27:33
  mercantile olive oil. They're right there at the front
• 27:36
  counter and they just have some new bags of coffee there, too.
• 27:40
  In Nashville only. So if you're coming through
• 27:43
  Nashville for, for syndicate, stop by.
• 27:46
  It's right off the highway. Go, go, see.
• 27:49
  Go see Tia Taylor Williamson, the whole crew, and grab
• 27:54
  yourself. I actually had a Quadzilla
• 27:57
  Kyra's drink. Was it weekends ago?
• 27:59
  Yeah. So what is a Quadzilla?
• 28:03
  I have no idea. She just ordered it, had hints
• 28:06
  of cinnamon, and Gabe was there and he's like, you want it?
• 28:09
  And I was like, sure, why not? That's right.
• 28:13
  All right. CrossFit open update.
• 28:18
  Do do we want to argue now or wait till John comes?
• 28:20
  In I want to wait for John 'cause I I was itching to hear
• 28:24
  his take on this today. I was like John please tap in
• 28:27
  nothing. He was quiet.
• 28:29
  All right, we'll go through the leaderboard and see how.
• 28:32
  See what we got there. Colton Mertens, back in his
• 28:36
  rightful place of first place. Jeff Adler.
• 28:40
  It's been a while since he's been up there.
• 28:41
  Right on the open. Dude, that's that's a tight for
• 28:46
  Colton to win. Like I think he's going to win
• 28:49
  it, but it's tight. Like he can't.
• 28:52
  He can't be messing up this week.
• 28:55
  I mean, I think it's going to come down to what's programmed.
• 28:57
  I think he can win it. But if there's a barbell and
• 29:03
  there's a lot of cycling in there, Mr. Adler's.
• 29:07
  Pretty good at it. Pretty good.
• 29:10
  Thomas Stroyer. No idea who this dude is and I
• 29:12
  guess we need to Start learning about him.
• 29:15
  Dana, Mark. He looks young.
• 29:17
  Very, very young. Let's see, here we go.
• 29:22
  That is a no Rep. Page doesn't exist.
• 29:25
  How's that make sense? Let's see.
• 29:31
  There he is, all right there. Look at that little young,
• 29:33
  handsome fella. He's been doing the open since
• 29:36
  2018. OK, so he's been.
• 29:41
  He's on CrossFit Butcher's lab. So he's he's, he knows what he's
• 29:44
  doing. Team quarterfinals in 24, he
• 29:49
  went team semifinals in 25, and he was on a fourth place team
• 29:53
  last year. OK, So that OK, that explains
• 29:56
  like his 160th or whatever it was.
• 29:59
  Yeah, so they're behind Krieger Mayhem and Camel City CrossFit,
• 30:03
  so they know what they're, you know, he's pretty good at what
• 30:06
  he does. Yonah Kowski.
• 30:10
  Always good in the open. I'll say it before John gets a
• 30:12
  chance to he but like this is really good.
• 30:16
  I what was his last year Yonah. Yona 240th, but the year before
• 30:25
  that he won Open, he won quarterfinals and then he missed
• 30:29
  the games, so maybe he shouldn't do so well in the Open.
• 30:35
  Pete in fourth place. Dude, what's going on with Pete?
• 30:41
  So you're both good workouts for Pete?
• 30:43
  Is that that's it? You're not.
• 30:44
  You're not willing to say that's going to translate into the
• 30:46
  games? That pissed somebody off last
• 30:48
  week, so I figured I'd say it again.
• 30:50
  But I mean like legitimately I I like Pete.
• 30:54
  He's got a lot of emotion and I dig it.
• 30:57
  He's cool. I he really like these two
• 31:00
  workouts. I think legitimately were very
• 31:02
  good for him. But I think like he's been, he's
• 31:05
  with the proven. Right.
• 31:07
  No, he's I don't. No, he stayed.
• 31:09
  I think he may have come over and trained with the proving
• 31:11
  group, but I don't think he's technically a proven.
• 31:14
  Oh yeah, that's right. But I mean, like, he went to the
• 31:19
  games. You can't deny him that.
• 31:21
  And so I'm not surprised to see him here.
• 31:23
  I mean. If he's worked on his strength
• 31:26
  he could become fairly dangerous.
• 31:29
  I don't think he's top 10 dangerous yet, but the the
• 31:34
  strength piece has always been what's held him back.
• 31:36
  And so I think if we see something that it does get heavy
• 31:44
  in the open, like we'll that's the test, right?
• 31:46
  They can you hang with these guys when it when it does get
• 31:49
  heavy or we can wait till quarterfinals.
• 31:52
  James Sprague, 6th place. I mean 20th on a ring muscle up
• 31:58
  workout. Like, do do you remember it was
• 32:02
  a 20 two. He had the absolute like he lost
• 32:08
  60 some odd points and Wilmore had slid into the game's place
• 32:13
  at the Mac, I think it was. So ring muscles has not been
• 32:19
  Sprague's jam. But like everything else, he's
• 32:24
  gotten stronger. He's gotten better at
• 32:25
  gymnastics, He's gotten better at everything.
• 32:27
  He looks tough. Dude, especially on to get 20th
• 32:33
  for a guy that big in 26 two, like you just have so much more
• 32:38
  with the dumbbell. It's so much more time with it.
• 32:42
  And then like I know he's going to transit, like he's going to
• 32:44
  move faster on the lunges, but it's only, it's only like 6
• 32:47
  steps. You're not going to get that
• 32:48
  much. I mean, yeah, you're not going
• 32:50
  to buy that much. And then the ring muscle UPS,
• 32:53
  like he's definitely improved on those.
• 32:54
  I I think it's crazy for him to post the top, top 20 score.
• 32:58
  Yeah. Nika Maserati, Brian is not
• 33:03
  here. The other Brian's not here.
• 33:04
  So I know he's a big fan of Nika.
• 33:07
  He's been talking about Nika. Nika is a less fit.
• 33:12
  Peter Ellis, not very strong. Is Georgia in the Balkans?
• 33:20
  Sure, we'll say it is, and then somebody in the comments will
• 33:23
  tell us that we're wrong and we're.
• 33:24
  Ignorant Americans, we understand we have our own,
• 33:27
  Georgia. We made our own so we don't have
• 33:29
  to memory yours. Yeah, Harry Lightfoot, another
• 33:31
  good, good week. Ryan Haynes, Mr. Murfreesboro
• 33:35
  hanging in there, top 10, followed by Bill Leahy.
• 33:40
  Not bad. Ben Fowler from Yeah, that's the
• 33:44
  New Zealand flag just because it's NZLI would have said it was
• 33:47
  Australia, but they didn't make that mistake.
• 33:50
  Tudor older guy Ben am I remember that right.
• 33:54
  He is 25 S no. I'm definitely not.
• 33:57
  I'm mixing him up with another. He might have been around for a
• 33:59
  while, but. I.
• 34:02
  The problem is if you are in Australia or New Zealand and
• 34:06
  you're going to go to Taurian Pro, especially on the men's
• 34:10
  side, there's three spots. They're locked.
• 34:13
  Like, you've got Ricky. Yeah, you've got Jay.
• 34:16
  Yeah. There's one spot left between
• 34:20
  Peter. Peter, you got Bailey Martin
• 34:22
  coming back. Zane.
• 34:24
  Zane is on a team. Oh, Zane's going team.
• 34:27
  Congrats, Zane. OK, well, that's one.
• 34:30
  So I mean, you've got a handful of guys that are fighting for
• 34:34
  that third spot and you mean you still have Isaac Newman went to
• 34:38
  the games last year, he had that the one spot that kind of get in
• 34:41
  there so. I think that was my favorite of
• 34:44
  the competition in that last event last year to watch was the
• 34:48
  men 'cause I knew it was just down.
• 34:50
  Yeah, it was like the strongman one, right?
• 34:51
  Yeah, yeah. That was, yeah, Pete had already
• 34:55
  locked it up at that point, and that's how Isaac Newman got in
• 34:59
  there. Jason Hopper, 15th.
• 35:02
  Jay Crouch, Saxon Panchick returns to competition.
• 35:04
  He's allowed to compete this year for 17th place.
• 35:08
  John, is Saxon gonna make it the Games?
• 35:12
  Probably not. All right, that's harsh.
• 35:20
  I mean, he can. He can, but he'd, yeah, I mean,
• 35:25
  he'd have to like back door his way in there.
• 35:28
  Like the online semifinals? Yeah, he can make it to the
• 35:31
  online semi final. If he if he were to make it,
• 35:33
  that's where he's going to make it.
• 35:35
  OK. All right, little off topic.
• 35:40
  Don is gone. Don, Don left.
• 35:43
  He's he's no longer there. So Dallin Pepper, 19th, a little
• 35:48
  surprising. Yeah, I think that's his worst
• 35:51
  open finish in a workout in a very long time.
• 35:53
  What it Which was it 60? 5th.
• 35:56
  Yeah, which I mean, he, he's not going to redo it.
• 36:00
  So you know, when you do the open announcement, you just
• 36:03
  never know. Do you have the right strategy?
• 36:05
  Are you ready for whatever comes up?
• 36:07
  You can't prepare for it versus everybody else.
• 36:09
  So yeah, I mean, I wouldn't read too much into it, just.
• 36:13
  Dozen's worse. Justin is worse, I think, he
• 36:17
  said on the Boys Interrupted that he's been dealing with the
• 36:19
  shoulder issue, so he hasn't been doing muscle UPS very much
• 36:22
  so. I mean, I'm.
• 36:25
  Still a good time the. First workout that you know I'm
• 36:27
  I'm that's all I'm talking about, not not the.
• 36:30
  Sure, but I mean even then, like if you do have a shoulder issue
• 36:33
  and you've not been doing much with it.
• 36:37
  They're they're fit enough. This workout ain't nothing.
• 36:39
  How dare you jump over Quinn Robinson and Tom Kingdon?
• 36:42
  I wasn't Justin. John did that.
• 36:45
  I wasn't. Going to How dare you?
• 36:47
  Quinn Robinson, he's in that. He's a Nashville Night native
• 36:50
  guy, so. And it's Finn Green.
• 36:53
  It's Keynes. Yeah, that's that's one of your
• 36:56
  favorite guys. Yeah.
• 36:59
  Tom Kingdon. That's Tyler's favorite.
• 37:01
  Dude, he's both him and Quinn are big boys and so for them
• 37:05
  them to be up here, I think this is these are good signs.
• 37:08
  It's true. I just don't know.
• 37:11
  Does Quinn have enough strength on the heavy heavy stuff to get
• 37:15
  through when it matters? We'll see.
• 37:18
  Tom does. You know it's.
• 37:21
  Are we sure about this? Yeah, he's strong as I'll.
• 37:23
  Yeah, I don't, I don't know about that, but Syndicate,
• 37:27
  Syndicate would be the one for Quinn.
• 37:29
  I mean, there's going to be so many good people there, but J Rs
• 37:31
  not going to program just a brute strength Max out.
• 37:35
  It's going to be barbell cycling.
• 37:37
  And if he his Max out numbers might not be great, but his
• 37:40
  barbell cycling is. It's phenomenal.
• 37:43
  Part of me wonders if Jr. Hears these and hears John say
• 37:46
  that and is like like just like hey Wilson, maybe let's make.
• 37:52
  It. I would not.
• 37:53
  I no, there, there. It would be awesome.
• 37:55
  I don't think he's going to. No, he's not going to, but I
• 37:58
  think there's like an inkling of him that's like.
• 38:01
  No, no. I mean, like everybody's got
• 38:03
  their own flavor of programming. You dive into it.
• 38:06
  And just so you guys know, we have zero clue what the workouts
• 38:09
  are yet. At this point, I've I've
• 38:11
  purposely not asked Jr. Wilson for anything a little
• 38:15
  because it's too early. We haven't even started one or.
• 38:18
  Two days before everybody else knew last year.
• 38:21
  Yeah. So yeah, John just knows that JM
• 38:25
  doesn't like the one Rep. Max.
• 38:28
  Nate Ackerman, Chris Ibarra, Victor Hoffer, Anya Lakai.
• 38:35
  Who's in 35th there, Tyler? Bjorgvin BK. 3030, Fifth 30.
• 38:41
  35th Hiko ote Raji Curtis. OK, sure.
• 38:46
  I like the way he like paused in between those.
• 38:49
  That was good. The journey, Leafs.
• 38:53
  The Journey. The Journey Leafs 150 seconds in
• 39:00
  the second place workout Bajarni.
• 39:04
  It's it's not Bajarni. It's.
• 39:07
  BJ right there. I don't know how else to
• 39:08
  pronounce it. Yarni.
• 39:10
  Lives. Yeah, for the commenter who was
• 39:12
  pissed about how we were saying it.
• 39:13
  You didn't phonetically spell it out to help us at all, so you're
• 39:16
  just as big of a jerk as we. Are Yeah, he won it.
• 39:21
  I mean, he's still hanging in there.
• 39:22
  I don't think it's that bad to have 152nd and if you can do a
• 39:26
  first place in a workout, yeah, that's fine.
• 39:30
  Tanner. Tanner Blahs.
• 39:32
  I guess he's getting fit down there with the Mayhem crew.
• 39:36
  Yeah. Scott Panchik, Jack Farlow back.
• 39:39
  Leonardo, Francesco Rossellio. Yeah, Travis Mayer.
• 39:47
  Yeah, let's see what Roman Krynikov is 200 and 16th reading
• 39:53
  under that his. 1st event was really bad, correct?
• 39:56
  Yes, it was very bad. Why?
• 39:59
  Why? I, I don't know.
• 40:03
  And if they're they, you know, they could be dealing with
• 40:06
  something. We don't know.
• 40:07
  Or he just I, I don't, I do not have a reason why he's that bad.
• 40:12
  But I again, do not put stock into it.
• 40:15
  The open don't put stock into it.
• 40:18
  Like, like, you know, Colton's the fittest man that we've ever
• 40:22
  seen. If the open meant anything, no
• 40:24
  offense to Colton, right? Patrick Welner is top 10 fittest
• 40:28
  man in the world, men in the world and he got 500 and 86th
• 40:32
  place, right. So like just don't for everybody
• 40:36
  who's like this person's coming, look how good they're doing.
• 40:39
  It doesn't mean anything if you if you win, if you win the Open.
• 40:43
  I mean, if that does mean something, but everybody else's
• 40:47
  placement after that, do not put stocking through it.
• 40:51
  So Pat Velder 200 and 54th, do you put stocking to that?
• 40:55
  No 0. None.
• 40:58
  None. Put a little stock into it, like
• 41:01
  maybe. No, no chip literal literal 0.
• 41:04
  How about this guy, Toby. Toby Buckland.
• 41:09
  Toby. 900 and 30th. I mean that's pretty bad, but
• 41:17
  but still. 832 finishes crazy for a 525th place.
• 41:23
  That's insane. Still with that though, like,
• 41:29
  you know, he's a games athlete because he made it into, he made
• 41:32
  it from a particular region, you know what I mean?
• 41:35
  He's not like I still don't put a ton of stock.
• 41:37
  Into it. He did come from Africa through
• 41:39
  the Rebel Renegade Games. Looking at the leaderboard,
• 41:43
  Bronislaw, which we talked about last week, had an injury on his
• 41:47
  knee. He's the only one from the Games
• 41:50
  that is not in contention to advance to the top 25% into
• 41:55
  quarters, but every single individual athlete is doing the
• 42:00
  Open again and is top 238th. Bailey Martin is at 54th
• 42:08
  worldwide. Guy Malharos is 62nd, George
• 42:13
  Sterner 144th. Little too much sourdough I
• 42:17
  guess for the Open workouts this year.
• 42:22
  John, is this holding this tongue?
• 42:27
  Nothing to. Say I love George.
• 42:30
  There you go on the women's side, Lucy Campbell now in first
• 42:37
  place over mere home. And I kind of think it's just
• 42:40
  going to be hard to beat because we are like, it should be a
• 42:45
  barbell cycling workout. I highly doubt it's going to be
• 42:50
  a Max out of any kind. And for her to get 10 spots
• 42:55
  ahead of Lucy here, I just think it's going to be difficult for
• 42:59
  Mir him to beat her. Is there one barbell movement
• 43:04
  that you would say that Mir hum? Oh for sure, I mean a lot of
• 43:08
  barbell. Probably all of the barbell
• 43:10
  movements. But if it's cycling and not a
• 43:14
  Max out. What if it's?
• 43:16
  What if it's burpees over a bar? I mean.
• 43:20
  What if it was? What if it's the what is it?
• 43:22
  45 deadlifts, 45 bar facing burpees?
• 43:28
  Would you take Mira? Would you take Mira?
• 43:29
  You mean the 1:00 to 12:50? Yeah, yeah.
• 43:32
  Or anything with bar facing 200. Yeah.
• 43:35
  Yeah, yeah, no, I mean, Mira might beat her, but by 10 spots.
• 43:40
  I I just, I just doubt it. No like any squat pattern,
• 43:44
  Mirhim is way better. Like any cleans.
• 43:47
  I mean I've interest say even snatches.
• 43:49
  Like pretty much any weightlifting thing.
• 43:51
  Mirhim's probably better. But if it's not a Max out, you
• 43:56
  know Lucy has won in games fields in beat Tia right?
• 44:03
  In barbell cycling events or fast-paced events.
• 44:06
  You think Rogue with the overhead squats at £95?
• 44:11
  You know, it was like. That was that in burpees, right?
• 44:15
  Yeah, yeah. Bar facing burpees, 77 rounds, 7
• 44:18
  squats, 7 bar facing burpees or 10 rounds or something like
• 44:20
  that. She beat everybody right loose.
• 44:23
  If it's barbell cycling, Lucy is her engine.
• 44:27
  She's kind of like James Sprague.
• 44:29
  Like she can just make things happen that you wouldn't expect.
• 44:33
  And the only way that Miriam's gonna clear 10 spots on her is
• 44:37
  if it's a 225 LB squat clean waiting at the end of the row.
• 44:42
  Now, if that's at the end of the road for them, then yeah, I
• 44:44
  think Miriam can absolutely take her.
• 44:46
  But. But I just don't see that
• 44:49
  happening. OK.
• 44:51
  I see, I, I hedge. I'm not sold on Lucy winning
• 44:55
  yet. I feel like.
• 44:57
  I feel like it's it's it's 10 spots but dude that can go so
• 45:00
  fast if it's anything slightly heavy.
• 45:06
  But what's slightly heavy though, Tyler, like like you,
• 45:09
  you see what I'm saying? It's a various.
• 45:10
  It would. Be like 185.
• 45:12
  But but it doesn't, does it have to be heavy or does it have to
• 45:17
  be like just to muscular like failure because it's like so
• 45:21
  much barbell movement. Right.
• 45:25
  Like if it's to, if it's to muscular failure, then I'm going
• 45:29
  to bank on Lucy. I think Lucy's got more muscular
• 45:31
  endurance than than almost everybody.
• 45:33
  Like here's here's. Long enough.
• 45:35
  Yeah, here, here's I'll bring in my prediction of what 26.3 is
• 45:40
  going to be. First of all, if you everybody
• 45:44
  at Wadapalooza is doing 26.3 and as part of their competition,
• 45:51
  it's the first workout for individuals, the next workout is
• 45:57
  rowing. So there's no rower, They're not
• 45:59
  going to do rowing twice. Oh.
• 46:02
  I would love if they didn't know what the workout was and it was
• 46:06
  if they they truly didn't know what it was.
• 46:08
  I would love that. I would love that I I hear you
• 46:10
  spin, but I'm team that. I don't see that happening, but
• 46:19
  it would make it interesting. But no, I don't think so.
• 46:23
  And then I don't see them doing a double under just because
• 46:28
  people may not think to grab their jump rope to come down to
• 46:34
  Miami or bring it to the bring it with them to the to the
• 46:39
  competition and want to carry it around.
• 46:40
  And then you're like, oh, by the way, we're doing double unders
• 46:42
  and you don't have your jump rope.
• 46:44
  People will be so mad. So I don't think, I don't think
• 46:47
  you see a rower. I don't think you see double
• 46:51
  unders. I don't think you have anything
• 46:53
  upside down just from a standpoint of you've got, yeah,
• 46:56
  you got a dollar, you've got wet all this stuff.
• 47:01
  I think there's a really good point on the dubs.
• 47:06
  I think and what I what I want it to be is a 5 or 6 minute
• 47:11
  AMRAP of DTI. Mean it'd be easy.
• 47:18
  They have the barbells there. It's the easiest thing that
• 47:21
  program. Yeah, now the easier thing would
• 47:24
  be the deadlift burpee workout. It's too long.
• 47:30
  Shorten it. Like, so The thing is they have
• 47:37
  they have an hour, they have these hour breaks or like hours
• 47:39
  time frames of when they're going to send all these people
• 47:42
  through to do the open workout. If you have a long workout
• 47:46
  that's 1520 minutes long, you can only do a couple heats right
• 47:51
  in that hour. So they're going to have a
• 47:54
  gazillion people trying to do this on the floor.
• 47:57
  Or there's less time and you have to like do go every 10
• 48:03
  minutes, right? Like so there's a 5-6 minute
• 48:05
  type time frame all in 10 minutes for an hour.
• 48:09
  You go send in, you know, so you have 6 heats in that hour to do
• 48:15
  that. And we've not seen a barbell.
• 48:18
  Like maybe you could throw in burpees in the middle of it.
• 48:20
  But all of the like there's snatches in the RX division,
• 48:25
  there's double unders in the RX division.
• 48:28
  So again, I don't think he double up on those.
• 48:32
  Dang. I don't think they're, I don't
• 48:35
  think they're looking into it that hard.
• 48:37
  I don't I really. Don't I?
• 48:39
  I mean, they could definitely strong arm Dylan and be like,
• 48:42
  hey, this is what it is. And Dylan could have already
• 48:44
  programmed be like, this is just what we're going to have to do.
• 48:47
  I'd be shocked the the amount of criticism that Dylan would get
• 48:54
  if he just if he doesn't have even just the movements, that's
• 48:59
  all, like he doesn't know that to know the whole workout.
• 49:01
  If you're worried about things getting leaked, but just say,
• 49:04
  hey, we're going to have all barbell like or we're going to
• 49:09
  have barbell and burpee. And then like you program
• 49:11
  burpees as well. Like I don't think you do that
• 49:14
  in a 5 or 6 event type of thing. If it's this, you'll never see a
• 49:18
  more irate human than John Young.
• 49:21
  I think he'll he would not like he'll lose his top.
• 49:23
  Yeah. No, I, I again, I don't think
• 49:27
  it's that we've had wall balls. Right.
• 49:32
  We've had. Jumping.
• 49:33
  Already we've had overhead walking lunges and snatches at
• 49:37
  50 lbs. Not heavy at all.
• 49:39
  Like, we gotta have something heavy, right?
• 49:42
  And I don't think you see like an ascending ladder there just
• 49:49
  because there's so many plates that are gonna be just flying
• 49:52
  everywhere and. Less they go all out and they
• 49:57
  have staged barbells, like progressed barbells, 'cause I
• 50:05
  kind of thought about the same thing.
• 50:07
  It would be from an experiential standpoint, it would be
• 50:11
  incredible. I I mean, that would be so cool
• 50:14
  if they could pull that off. I understand that that's asking
• 50:16
  for a lot, but it would, you know, I hope somebody, Hiller
• 50:22
  you're going, somebody takes the time to go over and film like
• 50:26
  sort of the logistics of what it takes to that's it's going to
• 50:30
  need to run this whole sort of orchestration with all the
• 50:33
  spectators doing the workout. I mean, that's a feed in and of
• 50:36
  itself. I don't, I don't know.
• 50:38
  I don't think they know what it's going to involve.
• 50:40
  Like right now you can go sign up for it.
• 50:44
  So like they have to have some type of knowledge of what that's
• 50:47
  going to take. Like you can't just be like,
• 50:49
  well, how many, how many judges do we need?
• 50:51
  Like it can't be that blind that Dylan doesn't have some heads
• 50:55
  up. He has to know.
• 50:56
  Some. We're going to have to have this
• 50:58
  many volunteers to judge this many heats during this one hour
• 51:02
  time frame. So it's just one hour to know
• 51:05
  it, yes. Every day.
• 51:07
  Yes, there's an hour like each day I have to put them through
• 51:11
  so fast do. You have to pay to do this.
• 51:15
  No, it's free. I would have set a threshold
• 51:18
  just to like keep the volume down.
• 51:20
  I mean, you can't though, if you're telling people that they
• 51:22
  want, you want to go to Miami Beach and you can do your
• 51:24
  workout you have. To it's kind.
• 51:27
  Of it would really suck to go there and you're like, oh crap,
• 51:30
  I fly out at noon on Monday. Where am I going to do this
• 51:34
  workout? So you got to have the ability
• 51:37
  to get through a lot of people because what if 1000 people want
• 51:41
  to get through? You can't just be like, hey,
• 51:43
  we're going to do 20 minute workouts.
• 51:44
  We can do 6 heats of or you know, 3 heats of 6.
• 51:48
  Good luck. You're right, it's going to have
• 51:50
  to be short, short and a fast like a reload time.
• 51:53
  So that would be the thing about staged barbells is that no
• 51:56
  reloads. It's just like you move the
• 51:58
  barbells where they're supposed to be and then go.
• 52:01
  The other thing is like warm up space.
• 52:04
  I mean, think about the warm up space you're going to need and
• 52:07
  the madhouse that that's going to turn into.
• 52:09
  You have to know something because it's like we need the
• 52:11
  minimal equipment possible to get all these people warm ready
• 52:15
  to go. Right.
• 52:16
  And so if you just had a couple barbells that worked yourself up
• 52:19
  to 155, one O 5 to do DT like and it would be, I know some
• 52:28
  people would be like, well, it's 155, some can't do that.
• 52:33
  So you'd have to have scaled and foundations like so that that
• 52:36
  that does add some complexity to all of that.
• 52:39
  But I think you still need to have some type of dumbbell to
• 52:41
  the challenge and have some type of heavy ish type thing. 11/3 is
• 52:49
  a good guess po boy which? One was that. 7 minutes of
• 52:54
  cleaning squat cleaning jerks at 165 I think.
• 53:00
  Yeah. I mean, I just think when you
• 53:03
  think about classic CrossFit, you don't think of that.
• 53:07
  I don't think you think about deadlifts either though.
• 53:09
  That's why I'm saying like DT is classic CrossFit.
• 53:12
  Yeah, Was it 5 minutes? There you go, Paul boy.
• 53:17
  Thanks. Yeah.
• 53:19
  So I mean, so I mean that's why I'm like saying like, you know,
• 53:22
  if you did DT 6 minutes, like the guys the top have to go
• 53:28
  unbroken and it's about speed. The rest of us, it's how a few
• 53:31
  times can you break. The other thing that I've been
• 53:33
  thinking about is like, because the workouts that I was, I was
• 53:37
  kind of looking at, it would be really cool if it was like a
• 53:40
  trifecta of, of, of awesomeness. So it's like it's a repeat.
• 53:44
  The stage is like super cool. So if you have progressing
• 53:47
  barbells and then, you know, thinking about the workouts that
• 53:51
  we could do. So I was looking at the
• 53:55
  ascending snatches 75135 one, 65 and 2:10 that was 10 minutes,
• 54:05
  yeah, 10 minutes. And then burpees ascending
• 54:09
  snatches 75135 one 65110 same thing.
• 54:14
  And then the burp or the deadlifts in the the.
• 54:18
  Yeah, yeah, There's one from Carolyn.
• 54:21
  I don't know why they do. They talk about this on Sunday
• 54:24
  night. Did you see this wadapalooza
• 54:26
  during the Open being a problem in the upcoming years being in
• 54:31
  March? Actually, Pedro on his show
• 54:34
  talked about that if you caught it this around the whiteboard
• 54:38
  this afternoon. I didn't.
• 54:40
  I didn't catch it. But being in March, what does
• 54:45
  that look like next year for the next 3-4 or five years if the
• 54:49
  Open continues to be in that time frame?
• 54:57
  I think, well, I think they should have done it.
• 55:00
  Do you do? But do you do an open
• 55:02
  announcement every .3 for the next 345 years in Miami?
• 55:12
  Be cool if they did it that way. That way it was like you knew it
• 55:15
  was happening so you would want to go.
• 55:17
  It would sell, it would help sell tickets.
• 55:19
  I think it'd be a huge community booster.
• 55:22
  Do you disagree? I think it has to be.
• 55:24
  It has to be it if, if that's the case, if Waterloo's going to
• 55:27
  stay in in March, it has to be because like if you said the
• 55:36
  open announcement wasn't there or you couldn't do the open in
• 55:40
  in Miami, like nobody goes, right?
• 55:45
  Because they need to get, they need to get that workout done.
• 55:47
  So it has to be part of Wadapalooza going forward every
• 55:50
  single time. I guess you could technically
• 55:52
  have the announcement somewhere else, but it makes sense to do
• 55:55
  it in Miami. And then somebody brought up,
• 55:59
  what if you do it the week after the Open, before quarterfinals?
• 56:05
  And I don't think anybody, none of the elite athletes or team
• 56:08
  athletes want to do a competition a week before they
• 56:12
  have to do quarterfinals because some of them still have to
• 56:14
  qualify for semifinals or they want to, or they don't want to
• 56:18
  travel between the, the, you know, in that one week to go
• 56:23
  back home to Europe or Australia or wherever they're from.
• 56:26
  Like you would literally it has to be this last week.
• 56:30
  So either water polizza shifts back to February like it used to
• 56:33
  be. January, January, yeah.
• 56:36
  Is quarterfinals the week after the open or is it?
• 56:39
  Two weeks. It's two weeks, why not just
• 56:41
  shift back one week? So again, I don't think people
• 56:43
  would actually do it. Yeah, I think that.
• 56:48
  These quarterfinals matters again, right?
• 56:49
  Because you'd have like syndicate, you qualify through
• 56:52
  it. You still get invites like the
• 56:54
  French Throwdown. Yeah, the big dogs aren't
• 56:56
  worried about that, though. I think they are to some degree.
• 57:00
  People aren't from people from Europe are not coming over to do
• 57:02
  Wadapalooza in the then traveling back to Europe on
• 57:06
  Monday, so they get their quarterfinal workouts on
• 57:08
  Thursday. Yeah.
• 57:13
  Like 2 weeks is pretty close as it is, but it's I think it's a
• 57:17
  lot more doable. I mean, yeah, I don't, I
• 57:20
  wouldn't see that as a problem as an athlete because you're
• 57:22
  essentially going to have like a week of deload and then you're
• 57:25
  right back in. Yeah.
• 57:25
  And you're going to make top 2000 for sure.
• 57:29
  If you're an athlete, do matters.
• 57:32
  Yeah, Yeah, I agree with that. Back to the leaderboard real
• 57:35
  quick. There isn't, there isn't too
• 57:37
  much here that is really that surprising.
• 57:42
  Emma Lawson in 7th, That's good to see.
• 57:47
  Claudia Gluck. She's still got the fastest time
• 57:49
  on 26.2633. Ellie Turner.
• 57:57
  Doing good. 11th place, Are you surprised?
• 58:00
  By that 26 two, what'd she get place?
• 58:04
  75240 second. 42nd very good. I'm pleasantly surprised.
• 58:11
  What do you think Ellie does? Do you think she goes back to
• 58:13
  Australia to try to qualify? That'd be kind of wild, Cal.
• 58:20
  She doesn't seem like a nor Cal. Athlete.
• 58:21
  No, I think nor Cal all the way. Really, I really, I would go to
• 58:26
  the syndicate crown in Knoxville, TN.
• 58:28
  That's what I would do that. 'D be a better option.
• 58:30
  I would. I would pick that.
• 58:32
  I mean, I would just simply because like she seems to me
• 58:36
  like a rather anxious type and you have more controllables in
• 58:41
  Knoxville than you're going to have in in Norcal.
• 58:44
  That's it. That's fair.
• 58:47
  You won't be surprised, yeah. That's true.
• 58:51
  Looking through the leaderboard. Alexis Raptors is in 70th.
• 58:54
  Maddie Sturt is in 68th, Lucy Mcgonigal 85th, FISA Goffy not
• 59:04
  supposedly not due in the season.
• 59:06
  She's 65th. Her shoulder seems to be hanging
• 59:08
  out Hanging. Up, yeah, she said.
• 59:10
  She's just, she's just going through these workouts.
• 59:14
  Just going through the motions and and the.
• 59:16
  Possible. Yeah, that's why this doesn't
• 59:19
  matter. Spin.
• 59:20
  Right, that's why 26.2 is written poorly.
• 59:23
  No, I don't. Think, why don't don't you
• 59:25
  start, we're going through this. We will get to that in a second
• 59:27
  and then. The workouts are written.
• 59:28
  I don't think the workouts are written poorly.
• 59:30
  I just think you know more gain, Tysons.
• 59:34
  Is, is, is, you know. More games.
• 59:37
  Not the same fit as Emma Lawson. I think those are two different
• 59:40
  people. We're about to start fighting
• 59:42
  Tyler Young. Young Troy is in 720th.
• 59:48
  Paige Rogers is in 19th. Elisa Fuliano, I assume she's
• 59:53
  competing this year 22nd. Oh good.
• 59:57
  Yolo follows in 30th. Alex Kazan 32nd.
• 1:00:01
  Gabby Megala, 38th. Emily Rolf 91st She washed John.
• 1:00:09
  I don't. I think she's just old.
• 1:00:11
  John just put 0 stock. But, but I mean, I don't, I
• 1:00:14
  don't, I don't care like their quarterfinals rankings, I would.
• 1:00:17
  Does Emily Rolf qualify for the Games this year?
• 1:00:19
  John. I think she can the online
• 1:00:22
  qualifier after. After all, it's all said and
• 1:00:25
  done. Yeah, I do.
• 1:00:27
  It's not very good, Miss Vincent.
• 1:00:29
  Still qualifying for the Games. How's Vincent?
• 1:00:33
  125th so whatever she had going on last.
• 1:00:35
  Week. Oh dude, so Jill Cole is 2 spots
• 1:00:39
  ahead of her? Hanches.
• 1:00:41
  Yeah, Hanches. Yeah, my girl, I'm going to tell
• 1:00:44
  you right now like she's 123rd, no shot like that.
• 1:00:50
  She would be able to make the games.
• 1:00:51
  So if it's after her, I would say they're doing poorly.
• 1:00:56
  No offense to Nicole. But I just that means that
• 1:01:00
  Sidney Wells muscle up's got her again.
• 1:01:03
  She's 127th. It doesn't mean she can't.
• 1:01:06
  They're like those people can't make the games.
• 1:01:07
  I'm just saying you're you're bad like you're doing bad and
• 1:01:10
  you should be better. You're terrible.
• 1:01:12
  And Danny Spiegel, 191st John like.
• 1:01:15
  Like I said. 191st. Like you're better than this,
• 1:01:19
  but again, that's why this doesn't matter.
• 1:01:21
  OK, that is the women's leaderboard.
• 1:01:23
  I don't know if there's a whole lot else that that matters.
• 1:01:26
  What I do want to know Tyler? I really.
• 1:01:31
  Do you like 26.2? You think it was a good program
• 1:01:34
  to come work out? You don't like it?
• 1:01:36
  For me it was fantastic. Who doesn't like it?
• 1:01:41
  Spin doesn't like it. I don't I I there are aspects of
• 1:01:45
  it I don't like. I was annoyed at the argument
• 1:01:47
  and the group chat. So I was wondering if you were
• 1:01:50
  tuned in at all? I mean I I mean I skimmed it but
• 1:01:53
  then after the 5th, 5th of the same text I was like I don't
• 1:01:56
  care anymore. So my how do I preface this?
• 1:02:02
  I do have an opinion though, if we if we if like that on that
• 1:02:05
  topic. I do have an opinion on which
• 1:02:08
  one I think is better so, but I'll let you go ahead.
• 1:02:12
  It, it's of my, it is my belief that 26.2 wasn't the best
• 1:02:18
  written. It seems to me that it was
• 1:02:20
  written for the multitudes of people and not written for the
• 1:02:23
  best since it's sort of scaled for the rest.
• 1:02:27
  And you know I'm. Sorry, you didn't.
• 1:02:30
  You did not present it that way. You said OK.
• 1:02:32
  Well, go ahead then. What was what was your
• 1:02:33
  perception of what I said? You.
• 1:02:35
  You. That this workout was dumb.
• 1:02:36
  It was only muscle UPS. It was a waste of workout you
• 1:02:40
  did on the same thing with 40 ring muscle ups and been done
• 1:02:42
  with it. So from my perspective, I've
• 1:02:44
  been training one hour a day, three, sometimes five days a
• 1:02:48
  week, but it's closer to the three days a week.
• 1:02:50
  Here I tuned out when Peter said Tyler's one of the fitest people
• 1:02:53
  in the world. That's when I started.
• 1:02:54
  That's when I started tuning out.
• 1:02:55
  I. Just I just, I'm like 93rd
• 1:02:58
  percentile right now and it's like I, I basically chilled
• 1:03:03
  through the first half. So the equivalent of walking the
• 1:03:06
  shuttle runs. I, I kind of held that pace
• 1:03:08
  where it was like I just need to keep my heart rate down so that
• 1:03:11
  when I get to the get to the ring muscle UPS, I just plow
• 1:03:15
  through those and I'm OK. I knew I was going to finish.
• 1:03:18
  And I think a lot of athletes approach that that way.
• 1:03:23
  And so I just don't think it was a great differentiator above the
• 1:03:27
  10%. Now, yes, you can always go
• 1:03:29
  faster, and I'm not saying that you don't differentiate because
• 1:03:32
  of that. But to me, you know, Hiller
• 1:03:35
  originally like posited this idea that the time cap should
• 1:03:38
  have been 10 minutes. I think that's really
• 1:03:40
  aggressive. But what that would have caused
• 1:03:42
  me to do is I would have really had to rush the time cap.
• 1:03:46
  Like I would have had to really try really hard so that I could
• 1:03:50
  get as many ring muscle UPS as possible.
• 1:03:52
  And if we're riding the open for magic, that stress that you feel
• 1:03:56
  because you're like, I need to optimize how many muscle UPS and
• 1:03:59
  I'm going to get because I know I'm not going to finish.
• 1:04:02
  That's the magic you want. We're not writing magic for
• 1:04:05
  we're not writing magic for a top 5% athlete in this workout,
• 1:04:09
  Tyler. No, but OK, so the my argument
• 1:04:12
  about the 25th ish percentile to the about the 10th percentile
• 1:04:16
  was those are the ones who you want to like make feel that way.
• 1:04:21
  You want to like kind of edge them to see.
• 1:04:26
  I mean, I use that word on purpose because you want to you
• 1:04:29
  want to edge them to to want more, right?
• 1:04:32
  And it's like, I finished the workout and yeah, I could have
• 1:04:34
  finished faster, but finishing felt like enough of an
• 1:04:37
  accomplishment. And so the good.
• 1:04:40
  You finished. You finished over double the
• 1:04:42
  time of Yoda. But I trained 3 to like, I'll
• 1:04:48
  say on average four days a week for an hour.
• 1:04:53
  I'm not. Fit right now, that's basically
• 1:04:56
  what I'm saying. And so the the good compromise
• 1:05:00
  would have been an AMRAP is that at that point I would have been
• 1:05:03
  like, man, I really need to push to get through those ring muscle
• 1:05:06
  up so I can get to the other. Side OK, OK, but here OK to if
• 1:05:13
  it's a 10 minute AMRAP, I think I beat you in this workout.
• 1:05:16
  If it's a 15 minute, just finish it.
• 1:05:19
  You know you beat me in the workout.
• 1:05:22
  Does that serve? I'll I'll go with your arguments
• 1:05:26
  even though I think. Well, you're, you're testing
• 1:05:29
  well, you're testing different like I, I think you're testing
• 1:05:31
  different things. Well you you even said when we
• 1:05:33
  were texting about it. Like what?
• 1:05:35
  I asked what the tie break time was and yours was faster than
• 1:05:39
  mine and I but I beat you. But if it's a 10 minute AMRAP,
• 1:05:43
  then I'm just going to do 1 crazy big set and then that's
• 1:05:47
  just what it's going to be. So like I'll end up with 13 ring
• 1:05:50
  muscle UPS where you're just. I probably would have had to do
• 1:05:53
  8 and. Correct.
• 1:05:54
  Whatever. That's what I'm saying.
• 1:05:56
  Yeah, when I say I beat you, I'm saying like by two 2 ring muscle
• 1:05:59
  UPS, but like a fitness aspect comes into it a little bit more.
• 1:06:05
  When I would say John's fitter than me, right?
• 1:06:07
  Now have to finish. Oh, I'm I'm arguing the
• 1:06:09
  opposite. You're saying you're not as fit
• 1:06:11
  as me? A full test.
• 1:06:13
  I think I am, but like for this for this workout.
• 1:06:17
  The fitness aspect comes into play on the ring muscle UPS,
• 1:06:22
  which is why you beat me I think, or I think you were
• 1:06:25
  fitter than me in this workout. Only because of that one.
• 1:06:28
  We had to finish it well, because we had to finish it.
• 1:06:31
  I my ring muscle UPS weren't struggling.
• 1:06:33
  You saw like. The videos of me.
• 1:06:36
  My I can't breathe right, Like I'm sitting down 50 seconds in
• 1:06:41
  between sets, right? I mean, that's why you that's
• 1:06:45
  why you beat me. I'm saying you were fitter than
• 1:06:47
  me in this workout. A 10 minute AMRAP.
• 1:06:49
  I don't think that shows is good.
• 1:06:51
  No, yeah, we're much closer. Regardless of who finishes
• 1:06:54
  first. We're so close.
• 1:06:55
  Argues against what you're. Saying but then.
• 1:06:57
  Is what I'm saying right? But then Tyler wants a harder
• 1:07:00
  challenge for himself as a top five percenter.
• 1:07:05
  But the top 5% for me is so fake.
• 1:07:08
  It's what I'm. Saying it's not fake.
• 1:07:10
  I was not. OK, so then I guess you're
• 1:07:12
  arguing the same thing as. I'm saying.
• 1:07:15
  Yes, I'm saying to you, yes, you think it would be a better test.
• 1:07:18
  And I'm telling you, I think the I think the fitness came into
• 1:07:21
  play. You're saying it didn't as much?
• 1:07:23
  No, I think if you shorten that. I agree with you, John.
• 1:07:26
  If you shorten that by that much and make it a 10 or 12 minute
• 1:07:30
  workout, no, you're losing out on so many of those people that
• 1:07:36
  get their first ring muscle up. So many of them.
• 1:07:40
  I I think it depends who you said cater to and.
• 1:07:43
  Cross hold on. One to cater to the people that
• 1:07:45
  got for their one ring muscle. And.
• 1:07:48
  That's the problem. So and you would agree with
• 1:07:50
  this, yes. What's that?
• 1:07:53
  I think it depends on who you want to cater to, and CrossFit
• 1:07:57
  wanted to cater to the people that are getting their first
• 1:08:00
  ring. Muscle up here, here you go
• 1:08:03
  49,000 men and women combined finish with 112 reps mean that
• 1:08:10
  he did not get one ring muscle up.
• 1:08:14
  How many of those 49,000 now are going to go to the their coach
• 1:08:18
  or their at their gym and say help me get my first ring muscle
• 1:08:23
  up? 49,000 total athletes didn't get
• 1:08:26
  one. No, they got 112 reps.
• 1:08:29
  I mean, they got, they got there and they generally got stuck.
• 1:08:32
  But of two. 130. 5000 That's it. There's people that got 111
• 1:08:40
  reps, 110 reps. I'm saying that there were.
• 1:08:44
  Of that chunk. OK.
• 1:08:45
  So there's a larger. People that got there and.
• 1:08:47
  Just they probably had a chance that had that, that got on the
• 1:08:50
  rings and then didn't get there, or they got super close and just
• 1:08:54
  missed it. So cool that that my change
• 1:08:57
  makes no difference to them. Because nobody's nobody's last.
• 1:09:01
  They they'd only get like 100 and or 95 reps they wouldn't
• 1:09:04
  even get close to it. You're not fit enough to get
• 1:09:07
  there, that's the point. What are you talking about?
• 1:09:12
  If you don't get to the ring muscle UPS, you weren't you
• 1:09:15
  weren't fit enough to achieve that.
• 1:09:16
  You you dangle that thing at the end to make everybody want more.
• 1:09:22
  I will, I will say to, to and I'm, I'm 100% playing devil's
• 1:09:26
  advocate to everybody, but like, like, like, like take that, you
• 1:09:31
  know, for what it's worth, they, they do that for they, they
• 1:09:37
  were, they won't do what they just did for lifting.
• 1:09:42
  Like they are not going to give the guy who can clean 300 lbs
• 1:09:46
  but isn't fit. They're not gonna let him have a
• 1:09:50
  workout where? He they used to three. 100 No,
• 1:09:52
  they didn't. No, you had to earn the heavy.
• 1:09:54
  No, you had the teeth. No, it's the point.
• 1:09:56
  The wonder of Max Thruster. The wonder of Max thruster 3
• 1:10:00
  years ago after the workout. But you didn't have to get to
• 1:10:03
  it. You still could do it.
• 1:10:04
  And. Then you're just gaming it.
• 1:10:05
  Like that's not the workout. This is the.
• 1:10:07
  This is the actual. Workout no, you still you could
• 1:10:10
  finish, you had a certain amount of time and and then you had X
• 1:10:13
  amount of time to do with the one right back.
• 1:10:15
  I'm excluding that situation that doesn't apply.
• 1:10:18
  Like, I understand what John's saying, but what you're saying
• 1:10:20
  is. Almost almost every time you can
• 1:10:24
  find one workout like you know the the one where you had to
• 1:10:26
  finish and do a heavy clean at the end, that is that is the one
• 1:10:30
  workout. And almost.
• 1:10:32
  Every time and no me too spin, but I'm just just let me get
• 1:10:35
  through it. You have to be fit enough to get
• 1:10:40
  to the heavy barbell and from a person who was not fit enough to
• 1:10:45
  get to that heavy barbell, it was so painful that like you're
• 1:10:49
  just not. And every single time I just
• 1:10:51
  left, like I just have to get fitter.
• 1:10:53
  I'm not fit enough to do it right.
• 1:10:54
  Tyler is arguing there should be that to the gymnastic and.
• 1:11:00
  And I'm saying, I said two weeks ago before the whole start of
• 1:11:03
  the Open was I'd be OK if we have a Max lift anymore because
• 1:11:08
  the open doesn't matter from a standpoint of the top athletes
• 1:11:12
  moving give. So you're everywhere, just
• 1:11:15
  skewing. Skewing it you're.
• 1:11:17
  OK with it, but like I'm OK with letting everybody get trying to
• 1:11:20
  get A1 Rep Max I don't think. Well, see.
• 1:11:24
  And I but, but I disagree. There I think the open should
• 1:11:27
  matter. I agree it doesn't right now,
• 1:11:30
  but it doesn't and it's not going to.
• 1:11:33
  It's not going to. I, I do think there should be a
• 1:11:36
  universal thing like this is how we test fitness.
• 1:11:39
  And like, if you're going to do that for a gymnastic, you should
• 1:11:41
  do it for a strength or how you test the strength, you should
• 1:11:45
  test the gymnastic that way too. Which would argue Tyler's 10
• 1:11:48
  minute AMRAP point that you're just not fit enough to get there
• 1:11:52
  and 10 minutes, like you just have to be decently fit to get
• 1:11:57
  there in 10 minutes. I don't think it would exclude a
• 1:12:00
  ton of people now. It would there were there were
• 1:12:03
  46, almost 4700 men and women that had 113 reps How many of
• 1:12:09
  those are probably their first ring muscle up ever?
• 1:12:13
  How many of those people? So you're, you're gonna change
• 1:12:16
  this for 5000 people? You're gonna, you're gonna
• 1:12:21
  change the whole thing like you're saying.
• 1:12:22
  No, I just told you there were 49,000 people that probably are
• 1:12:25
  going help me get my first ring muscle up.
• 1:12:27
  I've got 5000 up to 4700 that probably got their first up,
• 1:12:31
  possibly got their first one like.
• 1:12:36
  I just think it's for what you want and CrossFit wanted people
• 1:12:39
  to try to get their first ring muscle up and that's what they
• 1:12:41
  got. And I don't, I don't have a
• 1:12:42
  problem with that like the way Tyler and Hiller do.
• 1:12:45
  I don't have a problem with that, but that's what they
• 1:12:47
  wanted. Now their argument with what
• 1:12:51
  would be a better fitness test, I would 100% agree with them.
• 1:12:55
  I would 100% agree with them. Hitler too, because Hitler was
• 1:12:58
  like it becomes can I get under the time cap for the people, the
• 1:13:02
  people who don't have a ring muscle up.
• 1:13:04
  It's it, it becomes, can I beat the time cap, right with up to
• 1:13:07
  10 minutes to, to get there, right 'cause the fittest people
• 1:13:12
  will just finish it anyway, right?
• 1:13:13
  But for the people that don't have a ring muscle up, their
• 1:13:16
  fitness probably is less than a lot of the people who do have
• 1:13:19
  ring muscle ups. And it for them, it becomes, can
• 1:13:23
  I get to the rings before the time cap?
• 1:13:25
  It doesn't the rings don't matter 'cause I don't have one
• 1:13:26
  anyway, right? So I get your argument 100%.
• 1:13:30
  That's what CrossFit wanted, that's what they did.
• 1:13:33
  Mission achieved. What would make the like a
• 1:13:36
  better workout? Just a better workout to test
• 1:13:38
  fitness. I agree completely with Tyler
• 1:13:40
  and Hitler, but that's not what crossed it one.
• 1:13:44
  I, I and so this. Is how it should be.
• 1:13:46
  Correct. This is a good middle.
• 1:13:47
  Yeah, yeah, you're right. I this is a good middle ground.
• 1:13:49
  Like yes, taking your stance like where the open doesn't
• 1:13:54
  matter. It's it's fine.
• 1:13:57
  Like it's fine workout and it it is fun and it does like make a
• 1:14:01
  lot of people happy that they got a ring muscle up.
• 1:14:03
  But what I'm saying is like, for lack of a better phrase, like I
• 1:14:08
  want a little bit of elitism in CrossFit where it's like you're
• 1:14:12
  just itching. But you have over.
• 1:14:13
  You had 6 minutes and 49 seconds to improve.
• 1:14:17
  And and what I'm telling you is I would have loved to have only
• 1:14:20
  gotten 6 ring muscle UPS because it would have pissed me off that
• 1:14:23
  I didn't. It would have made the workout
• 1:14:24
  more fun like like for for me too.
• 1:14:26
  It would have made the work. If it was 10 I would have really
• 1:14:28
  done the workout way better. I would.
• 1:14:32
  Have been talking about it non-stop.
• 1:14:34
  But think about how many people? How many people?
• 1:14:39
  How many? More way to strategize.
• 1:14:41
  No. How many people would have been
• 1:14:43
  cut off in that spot? Less than 5000.
• 1:14:46
  But what drove me in 2015 is that I was one of those people
• 1:14:50
  who got cut off, and I just. Didn't get every single strength
• 1:14:54
  workout. I was cut off every single one.
• 1:14:57
  I never got to what I that's. What drove me to be better at
• 1:15:00
  CrossFit? It's what drove me to be fitter
• 1:15:02
  too. It's what drove me to be fitter
• 1:15:03
  too, because I was like, I could be the one of the best people in
• 1:15:06
  the world in this, and I can't do it because I don't can't
• 1:15:09
  breathe. Yeah, you know what I mean?
• 1:15:12
  Like like 'cause like 'cause I could lift these weights and it
• 1:15:15
  was hard for them to lift well, regardless if I like was to.
• 1:15:18
  Get there. Regardless if I was delusional
• 1:15:21
  or not, like I could lift the weights, that was really hard
• 1:15:24
  for them to lift the best in the world.
• 1:15:25
  I watched them. Struggle.
• 1:15:27
  Hold on, hold on. They're having their own
• 1:15:29
  argument and we're witnesses. What?
• 1:15:35
  Yeah, we're we're arguing. We're not reading the comments.
• 1:15:37
  That's what the show is. Get out of here.
• 1:15:41
  But and and then I never, I could never show that and it
• 1:15:44
  made me so mad and I complained all the time and I hated the
• 1:15:48
  open because of that. But it made me want to get
• 1:15:53
  fitter so eventually I could. I'm telling you that there were
• 1:15:57
  49,000 people who are now cut off and they want to get fitter
• 1:16:00
  and there's 4000 plus people that got their first ring muscle
• 1:16:04
  up and won't stop talking about it.
• 1:16:06
  Tyler, the top five percenter, wants to have more of a
• 1:16:09
  challenge, but he doesn't want to go faster.
• 1:16:12
  He wants to just get cut off on a time cap.
• 1:16:15
  He wouldn't go faster if he if it wasn't.
• 1:16:17
  Why wouldn't you go faster now? Because you have these 20 ring
• 1:16:20
  muscle UPS to do, you're pacing for 20 ring muscle UPS.
• 1:16:22
  You don't have a choice when it's 10 minutes.
• 1:16:24
  I know that I can finish those 20 ring muscle UPS so that's all
• 1:16:27
  I'm thinking. About, but not if he had to, not
• 1:16:29
  if. Why?
• 1:16:30
  Why not? Why not get too close to the sun
• 1:16:33
  'cause he gets too close to the sun?
• 1:16:34
  Cause Hillary is teaching me to be more reserved when I work
• 1:16:38
  out, be more calculated. But the, the thing I beat so
• 1:16:43
  many people that are better at CrossFit than me right now,
• 1:16:45
  they're fitter than I am and it's Chase always rings in the
• 1:16:48
  back of my head. No, no, no, no.
• 1:16:51
  It really wasn't a shot at you. It is funny that that came out
• 1:16:54
  that way, but Chase, Chase lives in the back of my head with,
• 1:16:58
  with deadlift being sort of a party trick.
• 1:16:59
  You have those guys that can just pull £1,000,000 from the
• 1:17:02
  floor for no reason and I won or I, I didn't win.
• 1:17:06
  I did well in this workout because ring muscle UPS are my
• 1:17:10
  party trick and the first I'd say half, but the first part of
• 1:17:15
  the workout didn't matter. It it really didn't matter.
• 1:17:19
  But like, again, to Spence Point Tyler, you don't matter.
• 1:17:25
  No, I don't. Right, but like to Spence point,
• 1:17:28
  he cares about the bottom 90. 75% more bottom 75% or actually?
• 1:17:35
  Do something. But to Tyler's point, it if you
• 1:17:40
  want to stay strict to the methodology, this did not do
• 1:17:44
  that of of programming for the best and scaling for the rest.
• 1:17:49
  I think it goes to Spin's point. Back to Spin's point though,
• 1:17:51
  they haven't done that in the open and since we went to three
• 1:17:56
  weeks. What it comes down to what me
• 1:17:58
  and Spin really are are are disagreeing on is that I think
• 1:18:03
  that 25 to 10% are your loudest people about getting other
• 1:18:09
  people into the open like. They're the.
• 1:18:11
  I would agree with that. I just agree with you, I've
• 1:18:13
  probably gotten probably 2 hands of people over the years doing
• 1:18:18
  it and she's not the top 10 to 25%.
• 1:18:21
  Fair enough, those are the ones that are most motivated to.
• 1:18:24
  Train I'm thinking like what you post on Instagram, though, the
• 1:18:27
  people that it's just lifting and just CrossFit stuff on
• 1:18:30
  Instagram. I I venture to say Tyler's
• 1:18:32
  probably correct. I don't know, but like just, I
• 1:18:35
  bet you that's what it looks like, right?
• 1:18:40
  Yeah. I did.
• 1:18:43
  I disagree. We need to get to the comments
• 1:18:47
  because apparently we we ignored them.
• 1:18:49
  Let's see, Jar Jar loves CrossFit.
• 1:18:53
  Will this be the first year at the Games we see no athletes
• 1:18:55
  qualify out of Asia, Africa, South America?
• 1:18:58
  Do US and Europeans travel for those spots?
• 1:19:01
  I sure hope so because they suck something else.
• 1:19:06
  If if you guys missed it, I had a pretty good rant on South
• 1:19:10
  America on the Wadfrep podcast on Monday.
• 1:19:13
  It's worth going to see it. I don't, I don't have the
• 1:19:15
  timestamp, but so it's a pretty good rant.
• 1:19:19
  I, I and I knew I should have cut it off like like 4 minutes
• 1:19:24
  before I did, but I just, I just kept, I just kept going.
• 1:19:26
  I just kept going. I will say, first of all, South
• 1:19:29
  America, the leader, the the online qualifier that just
• 1:19:33
  happened, like Miley Wade's trying to go down there, Annika
• 1:19:38
  Greer, Trista Smith. I don't think there's too many
• 1:19:42
  on the guys side. Mayhem Hendersonville, they did
• 1:19:47
  the qualifier, but they got third.
• 1:19:50
  So it's not a lot that they qualify out of that.
• 1:19:54
  I have a did they are they clean?
• 1:19:57
  Did they cheat? We'll find out, you know what I
• 1:20:01
  mean? So I, I think we'll still see
• 1:20:02
  people from South America. I mean, Gee could go.
• 1:20:04
  Down there, Gee. Could go down there and qualify,
• 1:20:06
  He'll be fine. Asia Sung Yong Troy qualified
• 1:20:12
  out of a European semifinal last year.
• 1:20:15
  Yeah, no, Sung Yong Troy's fit, but she's she's deserving.
• 1:20:18
  I I don't. I don't.
• 1:20:19
  Question Asian. I don't question if she makes
• 1:20:24
  it. I don't question it like she she
• 1:20:25
  her fitness. I don't get me wrong, she's a
• 1:20:28
  lower tier games athlete, but she's still.
• 1:20:31
  The Perennial. One of the fittest women in the
• 1:20:33
  world and I and I don't I don't think of her any different no
• 1:20:36
  matter where she comes from. Yeah.
• 1:20:37
  So I don't, I don't, I haven't looked too closely at Asia or
• 1:20:40
  Africa's line UPS yet. I think we'll still see a couple
• 1:20:44
  make it through. I don't think we're seeing the
• 1:20:46
  people travel to these places as much as you think they would.
• 1:20:50
  My guess for who comes out of Asia, I'm going to put it out
• 1:20:53
  there right now and if it comes true, I want you all to clip it
• 1:20:57
  because I've called the future is Max Creek.
• 1:21:03
  Max yeah, he is on the front on the Far East throw.
• 1:21:05
  Down. That's who's that's who's going
• 1:21:06
  to come out of the Far East Throw down.
• 1:21:10
  Are you here first? The, the only, the only thing
• 1:21:16
  that may hurt him is he's going to be if, if it's him and a
• 1:21:21
  whole bunch of Asians, he's the outlier.
• 1:21:26
  And so if there's a long run or something like that and he takes
• 1:21:29
  36, then. What He's great at running
• 1:21:32
  squash. Down.
• 1:21:33
  Is he great? Yeah, dude, he, dude, he's.
• 1:21:36
  I mean, not for a whole bunch of Asians to beat him.
• 1:21:39
  What what I'm saying is if he has one event where it's an
• 1:21:42
  outlier where the Asians are actually better than.
• 1:21:44
  It's not the Rebel Renegade. It'll turn, it'll turn into.
• 1:21:47
  It'll turn into what happened to Guy two years ago at Copasur. 3
• 1:21:51
  years ago 2/3. Years ago.
• 1:21:53
  There's where? What all took his one event did
• 1:21:55
  not do well and you couldn't make your way back up because
• 1:21:58
  there's only two spots there and you can't work your way back up
• 1:22:02
  the leaderboard. Listen dork, it's just a per SE
• 1:22:08
  argument. More comments I.
• 1:22:14
  Wanted to call. I wanted to call.
• 1:22:15
  Keep her a dork. Daniel Arneson.
• 1:22:18
  Who's your daddy? Grant.
• 1:22:19
  Team Tyler. I think he looks like Daniel
• 1:22:23
  beat Grant again. Got a boy, Daniel.
• 1:22:26
  That's good at hunting cardio bunnies.
• 1:22:29
  Look at that guy. That looks like a sweet home
• 1:22:31
  gym. Where is Hiller's video of Dave
• 1:22:33
  throwing his dumbbell? I missed it.
• 1:22:38
  He did, yeah. He Chuck it, Yeah.
• 1:22:42
  And Daniel Arntzen again. Grant claimed he'd beat me this
• 1:22:45
  year. Hasn't beaten me in a single
• 1:22:47
  workout yet. And there are receipts.
• 1:22:49
  Deposit $5 and you can put whatever grant hit piece on the
• 1:22:54
  comments that you want. I think, I think when Max come
• 1:22:58
  goes to the Far East throwdown, like when he walks into the
• 1:23:01
  building, he should look at everybody, everybody there and
• 1:23:06
  then, you know, close his eyes a little bit when he's talking,
• 1:23:08
  but then say, say to them good deal UN uma go sodo gaijin GI
• 1:23:14
  IPS and then just walk and then just walk out.
• 1:23:18
  Did you Google that? That's what I think Max should
• 1:23:20
  do. Good luck figuring out what I
• 1:23:23
  just said. Put the translator on me.
• 1:23:25
  Henrik Kapalinin is also in in the Far East throwdown, so those
• 1:23:29
  two guys could could take some Asian spots away.
• 1:23:32
  The problem with the Asian guys is they either pop for drugs or
• 1:23:35
  they're from banned countries and can't travel later so.
• 1:23:39
  Do you think these regions, South America, Asia, Africa, do
• 1:23:43
  you think they ever think that? Like we're pathetic.
• 1:23:49
  I think we're pathetic. And like at what?
• 1:23:52
  At at just integrity. Why?
• 1:23:54
  Why did? Why?
• 1:23:55
  Why? Because.
• 1:23:57
  So many people get popped or they're cheating or they're
• 1:24:00
  lying. The guy that just said he did
• 1:24:02
  the 517 in this workout, there are so many comments that are in
• 1:24:10
  Portuguese. All right, right, coming out of
• 1:24:12
  Brazil that said, Oh no, he's one of the best ring muscle up
• 1:24:15
  guys in the world. Like like, like you guys don't
• 1:24:18
  understand, like he's better than everybody at ring Muslims.
• 1:24:21
  If they are so blinded by their own people, like I don't know
• 1:24:27
  how many times they have to get caught cheating or popped or
• 1:24:32
  just movement standards. I don't know how many times they
• 1:24:37
  like have to see that and not think we got to get it together.
• 1:24:41
  I don't know how I don't know. But their culture sucks then
• 1:24:45
  because like, I don't know how you don't.
• 1:24:49
  Feel. Bad about that.
• 1:24:52
  The world. I want them to be better.
• 1:24:55
  I want to respect them and I can't because they make it
• 1:25:00
  impossible. You had it and then you just
• 1:25:03
  took the knife and you jammed it in.
• 1:25:07
  Here we go. Hey, Ricky Cabrero knows what
• 1:25:09
  I'm talking about. I don't know where you're from,
• 1:25:11
  Ricky Cabrero, but I can probably guess yes.
• 1:25:14
  If you go back to the previous episode, we talked about all of
• 1:25:17
  my deficiencies, but I'll tell you one thing, I'm honest when I
• 1:25:23
  speak, I'm drug free. Go ahead and test me and my
• 1:25:27
  movement is go ahead and watch my video.
• 1:25:31
  I don't got a clock in my video. I don't got a clock in my video
• 1:25:34
  but go ahead and watch it and you tell me what it flies.
• 1:25:37
  You can just watch the timer on the on the screen.
• 1:25:39
  And you can get, they can. Y'all can get offended at this
• 1:25:42
  if you want to. But look, look at yourself, look
• 1:25:45
  at your history. We got to go to the 7th team to
• 1:25:50
  find somebody not on steroids. That's insane.
• 1:25:55
  That is insane. Do you not think that you're
• 1:25:59
  y'all are just so like, I don't know, I don't have the right
• 1:26:03
  word for it, but I just want you to be better.
• 1:26:06
  So I the next time somebody from South America or Africa or Asia
• 1:26:12
  pops up on the screen, I don't have a second question of I
• 1:26:17
  don't think you're anything right, like like I don't think
• 1:26:20
  DEI higher. That's, you know, like I, I
• 1:26:24
  wonder what PC thinks. I know I'm not going to read
• 1:26:27
  this comment, but you know, he loves, he loves the, he loves
• 1:26:30
  the Asian, he loves the Asian people and, and, and like,
• 1:26:33
  what's funny is the Asian women are fine.
• 1:26:35
  There's never anything bad coming out of them, right?
• 1:26:39
  Like, like, I mean, Sung young Choi, we respect her, say
• 1:26:42
  Hirkaya, we respect her, right? Like did every like they're,
• 1:26:47
  they're doing it right. They like might not be great,
• 1:26:49
  but they're doing it right. Like name me South America other
• 1:26:54
  than GI, and GI is an influencer that isn't just, I don't know,
• 1:27:01
  just just I'm I'm so. Like.
• 1:27:04
  Yeah, no, no, there are people who are good, but just their
• 1:27:06
  country as a whole. I'm so let down.
• 1:27:09
  Their continent as a whole, their continent as a whole.
• 1:27:11
  I'm so let down with their. Culture, the drug culture, I
• 1:27:16
  think us as Americans, like, I don't think we realize how taboo
• 1:27:21
  drug czar to us in comparison to the rest of the world.
• 1:27:25
  Italian's great. I, I I don't.
• 1:27:26
  I don't. I'm talking about.
• 1:27:27
  There's no, but there's there's people who are good, there's
• 1:27:29
  people who are good. It's just I can't respect these
• 1:27:33
  regions. You're talking about the masses,
• 1:27:36
  not the individuals. Tell tell me where I'm wrong.
• 1:27:41
  Couldn't. You can't.
• 1:27:43
  That's the problem. You can't.
• 1:27:46
  I don't even know how to approach the argument to be able
• 1:27:48
  to prove you're. Wrong SO.
• 1:27:50
  That's what I'm saying, dude. Like, like, but and then you
• 1:27:53
  look at their comments, their comments make me so mad because
• 1:27:57
  they think the people that come out of there are like God's gift
• 1:28:02
  to earth are going to be the next Matt Fraser.
• 1:28:04
  And you're so blind. You're so blind.
• 1:28:08
  Look at look, look Patrick like like sleeps at night and prays
• 1:28:13
  for every Asian person individually.
• 1:28:15
  And he and he, even him, he said he's not wrong.
• 1:28:19
  Look at but Pinero's never tested positive for a a drug
• 1:28:23
  test you did, Lance. On we, we, we didn't say we we
• 1:28:26
  said she wasn't Maddie. We didn't say she wasn't smart.
• 1:28:31
  Where is it? John needs his own show.
• 1:28:33
  John. I did have an idea from this.
• 1:28:35
  You need to do. I'm not going to be Alex Jones.
• 1:28:37
  No, you need to. You need to do the what's the
• 1:28:41
  guy who runs to carry the boats guy.
• 1:28:43
  You need to do those. I don't know.
• 1:28:46
  I don't know Goggins. You need to do your own Goggins
• 1:28:48
  bit 8. You know, every morning you wake
• 1:28:50
  up. I'm running out here because
• 1:28:52
  you're not. You need to do those.
• 1:28:59
  All right. Well, that is, that is the open
• 1:29:04
  moving on. I apologize.
• 1:29:06
  It just really upsets me. You don't because I, I, I want
• 1:29:09
  to appreciate. We need our special show before
• 1:29:11
  we can do an apology. My next apology tour.
• 1:29:17
  Sorry to the entire. World.
• 1:29:19
  All right, John, you'll be in Miami.
• 1:29:21
  Tyler and I will not be. Let's go through who we think
• 1:29:27
  will podium on the each of the main elite divisions.
• 1:29:32
  So elite women. There's a lot of names here, but
• 1:29:36
  Lucy Campbell, Abigail Domit, Lydia Fish, Lisa, Lisa Fuliano,
• 1:29:41
  Matilda Garnes, Ariel Lowe and Mariana Meza, Emily Rolf, Danny
• 1:29:45
  Spiegel, Emma Tall, Ellie Turner have all been to the Games.
• 1:29:49
  A whole bunch of semifinal athletes.
• 1:29:52
  I'm sure there's a team athlete that I have not announced.
• 1:30:00
  Does anybody beat Lucy Campbell? You know the the person who I
• 1:30:05
  would pick would be Emma Tall. John John PC wants to do a
• 1:30:09
  monthly Azer show with. You, Patrick, just because just
• 1:30:12
  because I'm leaning into y'all, you cannot take advantage of
• 1:30:15
  this relationship, OK? And this is what that is.
• 1:30:18
  That'll cost you a 600. Dollars Yeah, yeah, I mean, I'm
• 1:30:21
  going to have to give now I to to do that, to actually do that.
• 1:30:25
  I I mean, I don't know if I don't know if y'all can cash
• 1:30:28
  that check, you know, I'm dealing for more money.
• 1:30:30
  Because I'd be offended he he tried to preposition that with
• 1:30:33
  $2.00. Are you kidding me?
• 1:30:35
  Oh man, that's just the down payment.
• 1:30:36
  That's just the down payment. That's just to get seen.
• 1:30:39
  People already think I'm selling out just because I'm doing stuff
• 1:30:41
  with Ryan now and that like for an Asian show like that, come
• 1:30:46
  on, come on, man. Unless it's weightlifting, I do
• 1:30:49
  that that. Sell out and then on the way
• 1:30:50
  down. Oh bad.
• 1:30:52
  Dude, dude, dude, dude. I mean, that would be rock
• 1:30:57
  bottom. I'm I'm struggling.
• 1:30:59
  Yeah, I think it's only 50,000. All right, but anybody beat Lucy
• 1:31:04
  Campbell can. Amitol would be my pick.
• 1:31:07
  It was fully on them, but. Almost beat Lucy last year but
• 1:31:11
  she the last event got her. But it's hard for me to, I mean,
• 1:31:16
  the open workout will honestly I think play a big role because if
• 1:31:19
  the open workout ends up being heavy, then I think, I think, I
• 1:31:23
  think yes. But if it's a barbell cycling
• 1:31:27
  then then I think no I don't. I think I would say Emma Tall
• 1:31:32
  would be my second. And then I don't think Lisa
• 1:31:38
  Foliano is a bad pick for 3rd. She's always.
• 1:31:42
  Good at She's always good at water palooza.
• 1:31:45
  Yeah, I'm probably going to pick Ariel Lowen just because I think
• 1:31:48
  she'll be just consistent at everything.
• 1:31:50
  I don't think she'll be flashy, but she'll be 3rd place the
• 1:31:54
  entire time and and that will equal 3rd place like so I I'm
• 1:31:59
  going to say Imital and then Ariel Lowen and I'd pick Lucy
• 1:32:02
  for my winner. Danny Spiegel's probably going
• 1:32:04
  to be pretty great. She's going to.
• 1:32:06
  Be 55 events, there's a wonder at Max cleaning jerk and there's
• 1:32:09
  a heavy sandbag complex with gymnastics which Danny is also
• 1:32:12
  good at. Why Danny Spiegel loves
• 1:32:15
  Wanapalooza, why she always does good in Wanapalooza is because
• 1:32:18
  there's a lower number of events and like at least 40%, sometimes
• 1:32:25
  60% of those events are great for her.
• 1:32:29
  And so like you're going to you're going to always do well
• 1:32:33
  in that type of it's always going to be like that.
• 1:32:36
  So like if you were her, I would always do a lot of Blues.
• 1:32:37
  That's why she always does. But when people want to use that
• 1:32:40
  as a talking point of why she's going to be good, it's literally
• 1:32:42
  set up for her to be good. So it's like a guy at Rogue,
• 1:32:47
  like it's going to be set up for him to do good.
• 1:32:49
  So like, yeah, I wouldn't be, I wouldn't be shocked if Danny
• 1:32:53
  Spiegel does very good, but that would be my podium.
• 1:32:55
  What about you guys? Tyler, I'm going to go Lucy,
• 1:33:00
  Alyssa Bulliano and then, oh, I just had it.
• 1:33:06
  Who was I going to say? Ariel OK.
• 1:33:14
  I'm really curious how Ellie Turner does.
• 1:33:16
  We haven't seen her. No, let me not.
• 1:33:20
  She did a couple events at Socal and then she withdrew and that
• 1:33:23
  we've just seen her in the open crushing it.
• 1:33:26
  Yeah, I think she's top 20 games athlete.
• 1:33:30
  Oh yeah, I mean, if you go back 3-4 years, you put her on the
• 1:33:35
  podium almost like, at least, you know, right there.
• 1:33:42
  I'm gonna go to Lucy Campbell. I agree with John.
• 1:33:44
  Emma Tall as a second place, 3rd place.
• 1:33:53
  I gotta go with Ariel. Like I'm I'm like In Sync with
• 1:33:56
  John. Like I can't go outside of that.
• 1:34:01
  Now, last year a lot of losers. She was straight trash.
• 1:34:05
  Like she was like 19th place and like even she was like I don't
• 1:34:08
  know what happened guys. I was really, really bad.
• 1:34:10
  So just saying last. Year she was really.
• 1:34:12
  That's true. That's true.
• 1:34:14
  Tyler, who gets last place? The reason I'm not saying Delmet
• 1:34:18
  is because she tend. I feel like she tends to like
• 1:34:22
  really? She's got to prove something at
• 1:34:24
  this point. Well, I think she's just like, I
• 1:34:28
  think she really gears up mentally for like the semi final
• 1:34:32
  season and like outside of that we don't.
• 1:34:35
  Really, I think there's I think there's that.
• 1:34:36
  That's always been the hard part about the the offseason events.
• 1:34:40
  And I'll still say this is still an offseason event even though
• 1:34:43
  it's during the open. Yeah, like it's not part of a
• 1:34:45
  season. Lee Frazier Ariel is ready.
• 1:34:50
  I I will say Wadapalooza is and me and I I, Brian would agree
• 1:34:57
  with this Brian Friend would agree with this is that this is
• 1:35:00
  the worst competition for predictions like both of us have
• 1:35:04
  been the most off every year at Wadaplooza I.
• 1:35:10
  Will Will Bransetter is the best.
• 1:35:11
  Will Bransetter is like the very first year of Heat 1 and came
• 1:35:15
  out and took it and I was like, what the heck, I I was like
• 1:35:17
  questioning everything that I do.
• 1:35:21
  And then it was like, oh, it's just I'm just not good at
• 1:35:23
  wadaplooza. So he.
• 1:35:24
  Won the most money of all time. Like we never matched that
• 1:35:27
  pernil. Chris No, no no at Elaine verse.
• 1:35:32
  That's last Elaine Werez. No, she's she's like fourth in
• 1:35:35
  the open right now. Veers.
• 1:35:38
  There aren't. There's no handstand push ups.
• 1:35:39
  I don't think so. That's what got her last year in
• 1:35:42
  the Last Chance qualifier. So you think for Neil
• 1:35:45
  Christensen, No. I'm saying Martina.
• 1:35:48
  Barina. Yeah, Martina.
• 1:35:50
  She's probably from Italy. Barini.
• 1:35:53
  Yeah. But don't put anything past
• 1:35:55
  Tyler Doe like he picks last place better than anybody else
• 1:35:58
  in the world. I don't think he knows this
• 1:36:00
  person. All right.
• 1:36:01
  On the men's side, you've got Luka Jukic, Austin Hatfield, Ty
• 1:36:05
  Jenkins, Yonokoski, Bill Leahy, Nick Matthew, James Sprague, Pat
• 1:36:11
  Velder, all Games athletes. And Ilya Moskolinko, he forgot
• 1:36:15
  to say that one. He's not a Games athlete.
• 1:36:19
  Is he on your podium? Should be known.
• 1:36:21
  No, No, he's not a win, No. Don't be who wins, James.
• 1:36:27
  It's hard not to say James is not just going.
• 1:36:29
  To. I don't think it's hard at all.
• 1:36:31
  If you if you look at the workouts, tell me where like
• 1:36:35
  other than the clean and even the the clean and jerk is set up
• 1:36:41
  for him to be good. Like they make you do a bike
• 1:36:44
  before you have to clean and jerk like and the whole entire
• 1:36:48
  competition is made for him. Yeah.
• 1:36:52
  Like I think it's hard for Austin to to beat him.
• 1:36:56
  I really do. It would be really impressive if
• 1:37:00
  Austin beat him and I I don't see it happening.
• 1:37:04
  All right, James, do you agree with that Tyler James first
• 1:37:07
  place, dude, when the lights are.
• 1:37:09
  On James, he's already one of the best anyway.
• 1:37:11
  If not, you know possibly the best at any given moment when
• 1:37:15
  the lights are on, that dude performs. 2nd place.
• 1:37:20
  I think Austin's just better than everybody else.
• 1:37:26
  Yeah. Man, I want to put, I want to
• 1:37:31
  put pat there, but I'm not sure. He's open.
• 1:37:36
  He's messing with you in it. What's that?
• 1:37:39
  He's open, he's messing with you in it.
• 1:37:41
  He has. 256th place or whatever it is maybe.
• 1:37:44
  He's peeking for this, but there's.
• 1:37:52
  I'm going Austin, I can't the. Real question is third. 3rd
• 1:37:55
  place John. Yeah, I think I'm going to say
• 1:38:02
  say Pat just because he he, he is the third fittest person
• 1:38:06
  here. But I wouldn't be shocked if
• 1:38:10
  it's not. I'm going to say Pat, I would
• 1:38:13
  not be shocked if somebody snipes him.
• 1:38:15
  He's going to. Keep as a backup, not Pat.
• 1:38:18
  Yeah, Tyler, I'm like, that's who I'm like when we're going to
• 1:38:23
  do a prediction show on Thursday with Andrew.
• 1:38:26
  I think Hiller for Tyler, Andy. Andy.
• 1:38:31
  But I, I again, I wouldn't be shocked if Ty snipes him or even
• 1:38:39
  freaking like, like Bill's going to be pretty good at these fits.
• 1:38:43
  I just, but I don't think that. I just don't think they're in
• 1:38:46
  the same sphere as Pat. I mean, Ty would be closer to
• 1:38:50
  Pat than anybody else but. That's fair, but Ty has beaten
• 1:38:54
  Pat in two of the world fitness projects.
• 1:38:56
  Two of the three. I don't.
• 1:38:58
  I don't put a lot of stock in about it.
• 1:39:00
  I'm not Brian. I mean, Pat was trying his
• 1:39:03
  hardest last year. I mean the first one he was
• 1:39:07
  like, I sucked, don't put that, don't like I did.
• 1:39:11
  I was really bad. And then the second one he got
• 1:39:14
  third place And then the third one there was swimming in two of
• 1:39:17
  the events. I don't.
• 1:39:20
  There's not swimming here. OK, they have to run through
• 1:39:23
  soft. Sand.
• 1:39:24
  Imagine he's better at running through water than he is
• 1:39:27
  swimming. Baby Tyler, who do you got?
• 1:39:31
  I'm going to, I'm going to go out on a limb here and I'm going
• 1:39:34
  to say Yonah Koski. And if it's not Yona, it's Thai.
• 1:39:43
  OK, so you picked the the the 4th and 5th fittest men in the
• 1:39:47
  competition and over over Pat rather.
• 1:39:50
  And that's, yeah, that's. I I'm not, I'm not like I don't
• 1:39:54
  even think like there's I don't think there's hype to buy on Pat
• 1:39:57
  right now, but I'm not I'm not going on legacy either.
• 1:39:59
  I think we're we've met that that wall for old Patrick.
• 1:40:05
  I'm thinking Pat because I think Pat could take second, but I'm
• 1:40:08
  going to take Pat third real quick on the teams I don't want
• 1:40:12
  to take podium. Who wins?
• 1:40:13
  On the women's side, we've got dressed girls, Gabby, Magala,
• 1:40:19
  Paige, Rogers, Alexis, Raptors. You've got Yeti girls Danielle,
• 1:40:22
  Brandon, Alex Kazan, Emily, Rolf.
• 1:40:25
  Those are the only two like loaded Games teams I think.
• 1:40:34
  Krieger will probably be better than you think.
• 1:40:36
  The Norway team is always really good at team stuff.
• 1:40:39
  I I wouldn't pick them to win, but I'm just they're always
• 1:40:42
  phenomenal at team stuff. They just are.
• 1:40:46
  It's hard to pick against the Yeti girls.
• 1:40:49
  I think Alex and Emily. Yeah, I think that's who I'm
• 1:40:53
  going to take. What do?
• 1:40:56
  You think Tyler? Go home with literally just
• 1:40:58
  three girls. Just the girls.
• 1:41:06
  I think they'll actually do pretty well, but I think I'm
• 1:41:10
  going to I'm going to fade John. Who did you pick?
• 1:41:13
  John, How? Did you fade me?
• 1:41:15
  Get the girls. I'm going to go with a team
• 1:41:18
  pursuit, Tint, Vitisen and and me.
• 1:41:22
  Fruit tint and vitisen. That's cool.
• 1:41:24
  I'm picking dress girls. That's.
• 1:41:26
  Cool. And on the men's side?
• 1:41:31
  I just thinks Rebecca Venison's pretty.
• 1:41:32
  That's that's that's it. No, he just.
• 1:41:35
  Knows that she will. Well, they.
• 1:41:37
  He's got these demon eyes that he can't not Europeans, you
• 1:41:41
  know, watch too much eyes that she has like.
• 1:41:44
  Have watched too much Supernatural, yeah.
• 1:41:49
  On the men's side, Team Gowad, Hopper, Mederos, Pepper, the
• 1:41:53
  boys Noah, Travis and Chandler, RX, Smart Gear, Jorge, Guy and
• 1:42:01
  Saxon. Those are your those are your
• 1:42:05
  games level teams. Brian Fiardo, that's the dude
• 1:42:11
  that is the best in the world at muscle UPS.
• 1:42:13
  He will be there on Team Columbia.
• 1:42:17
  Oh, the 517 guy. Yeah, he'll be.
• 1:42:20
  Hey, if Nicholas Badoon is watching this.
• 1:42:23
  Nick. You you don't fall into the
• 1:42:28
  category of pathetic South Americans.
• 1:42:31
  Like you're you're in the camp of you're in the camp of ghee.
• 1:42:34
  Like like, yeah, Cal and Sousa, like you're above that.
• 1:42:38
  I watch you move. Like, like, you're fine.
• 1:42:41
  You need to tell the rest of your people to get it together.
• 1:42:44
  OK? I I love you, Nicholas Badoon.
• 1:42:46
  Freaking Fayardo didn't do 517 and he's a liar and y'all need
• 1:42:50
  to stop. Like, like you, you know it.
• 1:42:54
  You know it. OK, and if he's just joking
• 1:42:56
  around, you shouldn't joke around because your old
• 1:42:58
  continent is bad. You have to clean up that image.
• 1:43:03
  Who wins you? Have to convince us that you're
• 1:43:05
  not that. Who wins on the men's team?
• 1:43:09
  I want to fade John here and go with team Go what?
• 1:43:16
  It's, it's listen, so you know, it's funny here.
• 1:43:18
  I, I, it's hard not to pick them.
• 1:43:20
  I'm going to pick them. I would love the boys to, to
• 1:43:23
  win. I I am rooting for the boys to
• 1:43:27
  beat Team Gowods. How do they?
• 1:43:30
  And not and not just just because, just because I think it
• 1:43:35
  would piss all of them off like a lot.
• 1:43:39
  And I think that would be, I think it would be really funny.
• 1:43:41
  But like Team Gowods? I mean they're.
• 1:43:45
  They're tear, but I'm going to pick Team Gowod.
• 1:43:47
  I just want the boys to beat them.
• 1:43:48
  I'm rooting for the boys to beat them.
• 1:43:50
  I don't think it will happen. I don't like the boys better
• 1:43:53
  than Team Go. Why?
• 1:43:53
  I love all three of those individuals more than all three
• 1:43:56
  of the boys, even Justin, and I've never even spoken to him in
• 1:43:59
  person. Love him.
• 1:44:00
  The most interaction I've ever had with Justin was I nodded to
• 1:44:03
  him in the hallway and then he didn't nod back.
• 1:44:05
  And that that was our interaction.
• 1:44:07
  You felt love. You felt love.
• 1:44:09
  I'm going to go different. I'm going to pick an Upset.
• 1:44:11
  I'm going to go with RX Smart Gear.
• 1:44:14
  Not even on. The Jorge Dee and Saxon.
• 1:44:18
  OK. You're out of your mind.
• 1:44:22
  They do well every year. And who else is left if they get
• 1:44:26
  third? Or are you going to tell me they
• 1:44:27
  did well? They're the third best team.
• 1:44:32
  Yes, they're on the podium is. See, I told you guys.
• 1:44:36
  I told you they were good. They finished on the podium.
• 1:44:41
  I don't, I don't understand. I don't understand.
• 1:44:46
  It makes sense. Like they they were close.
• 1:44:49
  They got third. I'm just going to go with that.
• 1:44:53
  All right. Go with it.
• 1:44:55
  We need to hurry up. We got 13 minutes.
• 1:44:59
  It is time for some blind rankings.
• 1:45:02
  You don't need. You don't need that, Tyler.
• 1:45:04
  You don't need that. Why?
• 1:45:05
  They're done. They're out.
• 1:45:08
  Manta's. Manta's out.
• 1:45:09
  They're. You get no spin.
• 1:45:13
  You get no spin code. No.
• 1:45:14
  IP manta sleeps. Done.
• 1:45:17
  So you can try code spin but your.
• 1:45:19
  JY Barbeau shirt over your head. We got to, we can't.
• 1:45:22
  We got to just go. We can't.
• 1:45:23
  We can't. We can't take time for this turn
• 1:45:25
  around, Tyler. All right?
• 1:45:29
  We can't. We can't.
• 1:45:30
  We're not. We're not.
• 1:45:31
  We're not. No, it's not blind.
• 1:45:32
  Blind. No, you got to be blind.
• 1:45:34
  You got to. Be blind.
• 1:45:35
  No, we got to talk about Roman. We got to talk about.
• 1:45:37
  Roman. Come on, this is no fun when we
• 1:45:40
  don't. This is the best part is trying
• 1:45:41
  to guess. No, let's we we've got to give
• 1:45:43
  it a break for a week. I don't even throw.
• 1:45:45
  No, I don't even care anymore. That's the only part I like.
• 1:45:49
  You're. Lied.
• 1:45:49
  Go ahead, here we go. These are.
• 1:45:53
  Open movements that must be included in the open.
• 1:45:56
  I don't. I don't, I care about it.
• 1:45:58
  Bye. You've ruined the fun of this
• 1:46:00
  for me. Five.
• 1:46:02
  You talk too much, John. We got to get moving.
• 1:46:05
  Yeah, I'm with Tyler 5. It's dumbbell snatch.
• 1:46:09
  It's just, it's just overused and overused, OK.
• 1:46:13
  It was cool in 17. I've done it, I've never thought
• 1:46:16
  it was cool. Ever.
• 1:46:18
  No. You didn't do the 17 open.
• 1:46:21
  I did. You started in 18.
• 1:46:23
  No, that was my first open. He didn't like all the box jump.
• 1:46:26
  Overs I did 17.1 on top of the catwalk in the Mizzou wreck.
• 1:46:31
  Oh Jesus Christ, I bet that was terrible that.
• 1:46:34
  Was a lot of burpee box jump overs for John at that time.
• 1:46:36
  Yeah, it still is. It's I mean, it's terrible like
• 1:46:39
  that. Go ahead next.
• 1:46:41
  Next up, the muscle up. Hard to beat this. 2 If you want
• 1:46:48
  to say one, I would agree. I what?
• 1:46:50
  Would you put it one? I don't even know an Olympic
• 1:46:56
  lift. I don't know, let me think here.
• 1:47:01
  It. Doesn't have to be a Max what's?
• 1:47:04
  More magical job? What's more magical?
• 1:47:08
  A muscle. I mean, if you want to put it at
• 1:47:10
  one, I will not argue with. You you're talking about muscle
• 1:47:12
  UPS are magical now, Tyler. Get out.
• 1:47:14
  I'm I'm talking about you. Can't even put it one.
• 1:47:16
  No, no, this was, this was the workout of muscle ups and you
• 1:47:19
  hated it. You gotta put it #1.
• 1:47:21
  For us 5 percenters, I mean, there's just not a lot of magic,
• 1:47:24
  yeah. There's a lot of hatred coming
• 1:47:26
  down from the what? What are you at right now, 67%?
• 1:47:29
  If you want to say 1, I won't, I won't fight.
• 1:47:36
  That was rough. That was rough.
• 1:47:37
  If you want to, if you want to say 1, I won't fight you on it,
• 1:47:39
  Tyler, But I, I, I think we should wait.
• 1:47:43
  He knows. He knows what's up.
• 1:47:45
  He can't be a hypocrite this early.
• 1:47:47
  All right, Next up, the Deadlift 4.
• 1:47:50
  I can't stand deadlift. I I hate it when it comes up but
• 1:47:56
  I would put it at a three because the tests are always so
• 1:47:58
  good whenever it does come up 3 or 4.
• 1:48:01
  I feel like it's the same as a dumbbell snatch to me it
• 1:48:05
  literally you. Hate Deadlift?
• 1:48:09
  Though I mean, I think we get whole every deadlift workout.
• 1:48:12
  I probably still beat Tyler in every single deadlift workout,
• 1:48:15
  but I don't like. Them at all the burpee.
• 1:48:19
  The burpee deadlift workout is like one of my worst all time
• 1:48:22
  open workouts. The but the row that 50.
• 1:48:25
  What is it 50505050 of the yeah, the 50 fives.
• 1:48:29
  That's that was one of my best open.
• 1:48:31
  Work, but it starts with that. It's the best one because it
• 1:48:34
  ends on handstand push ups. Yeah, I'll go with four.
• 1:48:38
  Hell with it. All right.
• 1:48:40
  Speed Tour. All right, you got one and three
• 1:48:43
  left the burpee. I mean, I'm good with putting
• 1:48:47
  this in one. No, it's a 3.
• 1:48:49
  It's so boring. It's overused dude.
• 1:48:53
  It's literally like probably the best movement for fitness
• 1:48:56
  periods. Like like of all time.
• 1:48:59
  I think a burpy and a thruster are.
• 1:49:02
  Oh, so now we're just doing the most programmed movements or
• 1:49:05
  the. Best No, no, no.
• 1:49:06
  But they are the most efficient at making you fit.
• 1:49:09
  If you just did 100 burpees for time every day you would be
• 1:49:13
  pretty. Fit.
• 1:49:14
  All right, you do that and I'll do some other stuff.
• 1:49:15
  We'll see who's fitter. I bet you I was a little
• 1:49:17
  stronger. Whatever you want to do, I'm I'm
• 1:49:22
  fine with three. I'm just saying like like the
• 1:49:27
  the lore of it I enjoy. I think you're mistaken lore for
• 1:49:32
  hatred. Yeah, it is.
• 1:49:34
  Whatever the thruster's going to be the next movement.
• 1:49:37
  And I mean, I'm fine with that number one too.
• 1:49:39
  Yeah, I'm probably OK with that. You think so, Thruster?
• 1:49:43
  Or double unders and then we might snatch all.
• 1:49:47
  Right, we'll find out. Row I.
• 1:49:53
  Don't really care. Row's not a bad open.
• 1:49:56
  Movement. No, I put it as 3, yeah, I would
• 1:49:59
  just shift everything up. I put that as 3 burpee, 2 muscle
• 1:50:03
  up one and then that would be the list.
• 1:50:04
  But I mean. Muscle up.
• 1:50:09
  The most fun part so I. Row Burpee.
• 1:50:11
  Dumbbell snake. Wow, John, we got a new member.
• 1:50:14
  Welcome. Sharon.
• 1:50:16
  Anne. Sharon Anne, 22, nice welcome.
• 1:50:21
  I hope your name is Riley Sharon.
• 1:50:23
  And with no space, that's. Right.
• 1:50:25
  Talk about stupid Roman. Now he gets to do around nobody
• 1:50:28
  else. Wow, John, this took a turn for
• 1:50:32
  the worse all. Right, John got too excited in
• 1:50:40
  the first half of this show. He's blew up.
• 1:50:45
  I was pretty like wired crash crash is coming.
• 1:50:49
  He's rundown. All right, So if those of you
• 1:50:51
  who have not paid attention, this weekend, Roman Kryonikov
• 1:50:58
  received an invite to the French throwdown.
• 1:51:04
  The problem is. His manager.
• 1:51:09
  Well, maybe, but not not technically.
• 1:51:15
  So there's two ways to qualify top 20 worldwide in the French
• 1:51:20
  throw down online qualifier that's already done, or top 20
• 1:51:25
  in the European region in quarterfinals.
• 1:51:29
  Or three. Or three, get an invite and so
• 1:51:35
  on. I can't remember Saturday or
• 1:51:37
  Sunday, French throw down said. Hey, you get an invite Roman.
• 1:51:44
  But then you look at the rule book and it clearly states that
• 1:51:49
  the individual categories will be 20 men and 20 women through
• 1:51:53
  the online qualifiers and 20 men, 20 women from the the the
• 1:51:59
  the quarterfinals from Europe, and that both of those paths
• 1:52:03
  will be fully backfilled from that path.
• 1:52:09
  And never talk about front filling.
• 1:52:11
  Now you start reading. I post this and so I said, well,
• 1:52:15
  how does Roman get this? He didn't do the online
• 1:52:19
  qualifier and he isn't from Europe.
• 1:52:23
  So if you want to say he's from Russia, which he doesn't align
• 1:52:26
  to anymore, Russia is in the Asia region on the CrossFit
• 1:52:30
  Games rule book and or you could say he's from North America.
• 1:52:33
  Either way, he's not in Europe. You can't do quarterfinals and
• 1:52:37
  he got the he didn't do the online qualifier.
• 1:52:44
  The I have a great real idea, you know, they get, you know,
• 1:52:47
  the guy who does like English language, he like 2-2 words that
• 1:52:51
  are similar and he's like how you say this one and the guy
• 1:52:53
  like says it and he's like no. That's the same thing.
• 1:52:58
  Oh dude, I love that guy. I love that guy.
• 1:53:00
  What what we need to what is what is a good word that that's
• 1:53:06
  like? Well.
• 1:53:08
  What I'm saying, John. I know, I know what?
• 1:53:11
  Yeah. I'm trying to figure out a word
• 1:53:13
  that's like that changes by how you say it, right?
• 1:53:15
  Because he's so good at it. Yeah.
• 1:53:17
  Like how could you? You see, You see what I did
• 1:53:19
  there? Like like, like, he's so good.
• 1:53:22
  It's. Those are hilarious.
• 1:53:25
  When I posted this, Adrian Moonweiler, if you remember a
• 1:53:28
  couple years ago, I did a show with him after there was alleged
• 1:53:34
  failed drug tests at the French Throwdown that was not reported
• 1:53:38
  because it was like the French government that did the tests.
• 1:53:41
  And so then they never reported it.
• 1:53:42
  And the French Throwdown said they never got the results of
• 1:53:45
  the tests. And so, yeah, it was crazy.
• 1:53:48
  How? Do you?
• 1:53:49
  How do you not get something you paid for?
• 1:53:50
  Well, no, apparently that like if you compete in France, you
• 1:53:55
  have to register with the government in functional
• 1:53:58
  fitness. CrossFit was like a, a
• 1:53:59
  recognized sport. And so they just like send like
• 1:54:02
  the United States USADA, the French government sent testing
• 1:54:08
  to these French athletes at this competition and apparently they
• 1:54:12
  got banned from competing, but they couldn't tell the
• 1:54:16
  organizer, the French throwdown that they were banned.
• 1:54:19
  And so it was like, it was a weird, very weird.
• 1:54:22
  But anyway, it is weird. Adrian said they have a gift of
• 1:54:26
  how to piss off athletes. Year after year, does Adrian
• 1:54:29
  have French throwdown? Yeah, he mostly hates them.
• 1:54:32
  Like what? What?
• 1:54:33
  What did they do to him? Piss him off every year.
• 1:54:37
  But I'm saying like he had to get wrong.
• 1:54:39
  There's, there's a lot of, there's a lot of controversy
• 1:54:42
  that's come out of the French throwdown over the years.
• 1:54:46
  And I can't even speak to all of it, but I, I mean, Adrian would
• 1:54:49
  go on for a very long time. Lucy Campbell.
• 1:54:52
  It's an interesting choice. French Throwdown.
• 1:54:57
  Make sure you read the rule book in its entirety.
• 1:54:59
  And what he's referring to or what the French throne's
• 1:55:02
  referring to is section 2.1 says, well, we can just invite
• 1:55:06
  anybody. We can invite whoever you want,
• 1:55:09
  a pass champion or whoever to make the competition better.
• 1:55:13
  The problem is you've already promised that 20 come from the
• 1:55:16
  qualifier and 20 come from your quarterfinals.
• 1:55:19
  So are you going to have 41 spots or are you going to reduce
• 1:55:23
  and say that, well, now only 19 from the quarterfinals can make
• 1:55:27
  it through? Right.
• 1:55:30
  And which was my point and. Both will which piss people off.
• 1:55:35
  Right. I don't, I mean, if you did 41
• 1:55:38
  people, I feel like you still keep the integrity it.
• 1:55:40
  Just says I can do what I want. Great GIF post.
• 1:55:48
  I'm trying to see. I feel like somebody deleted
• 1:55:52
  their comments. Uh oh, Who's somebody?
• 1:55:59
  Adam docks them right now. Oh no, here it is DC-1 and only
• 1:56:04
  Daniel Chafee. So are you taking, I said are
• 1:56:09
  you taking one less from the online qualifier quarterfinals
• 1:56:12
  and he responded down here. Way down there.
• 1:56:19
  Looking at previous years, let's see our average was really good
• 1:56:24
  for our average of 17 and 20. So we will back to the next
• 1:56:26
  three this year and we only need 2.
• 1:56:28
  If all 20 except and Roman does not qualify in the top spots of
• 1:56:32
  the quarterfinals, which he's not even allowed to do, I will
• 1:56:35
  add a lane or a heat. It is what it is.
• 1:56:38
  What do you mean? It is what it is.
• 1:56:39
  You made the problem. Right.
• 1:56:42
  Why is he not allowed to qualify?
• 1:56:45
  He's not European. If you do the quarterfinals, you
• 1:56:48
  have to be in the Europe region. I I'm just, I'm just, I'm just,
• 1:56:51
  yeah. There's more to this story and
• 1:56:55
  I. Yeah, there is.
• 1:56:56
  Go ahead, I. Almost don't think there's more
• 1:56:58
  this story. I think they did this and just
• 1:56:59
  didn't think about. It no.
• 1:57:01
  When you say it is what it is and you run the competition,
• 1:57:04
  that means you're not saying a large portion of what's
• 1:57:08
  happening behind the scenes. So after I reported this.
• 1:57:13
  I want them to add Elaine. After I reported this, I posted
• 1:57:16
  to my stories. Apparently Henrik Kapalinen
• 1:57:21
  asked if he could get an invite and they said no, we're not
• 1:57:26
  giving out any invites this year.
• 1:57:28
  You have to qualify through the means to keep it a fair
• 1:57:30
  competition. It is what it is.
• 1:57:32
  And Moritz Feebig did the same and it was basically the exact
• 1:57:35
  same answer. Moritz won French throwdown, I
• 1:57:39
  think it was last year Roman won.
• 1:57:42
  Roman didn't even compete at the French throwdown last year.
• 1:57:44
  He won it through Wildland Fest. He didn't compete at the French
• 1:57:47
  throwdown. The reason that they said that
• 1:57:51
  that Roman got the invite is because he helped do the videos
• 1:57:54
  of the movement standards for the online qualifier.
• 1:57:57
  This which is even worse. Right.
• 1:58:02
  This is better. This is better.
• 1:58:03
  They should make a golden mine for.
• 1:58:05
  Him. Yeah, that's what I think.
• 1:58:06
  It should just be Roman's lane like.
• 1:58:14
  If you're going to like, I know Seth on the CAC is trying to
• 1:58:17
  like, fix things or ask for feedback.
• 1:58:19
  This one, Yeah, like get rid of the special invites if I'm going
• 1:58:27
  to say anything like just get rid of them.
• 1:58:30
  What do you do with Mayhem? What do you do with Mayhem?
• 1:58:32
  Figure out a way to qualify. No more.
• 1:58:36
  Like. Just take it off.
• 1:58:37
  The I, I personally don't like it, Like I don't, I'm not a fan
• 1:58:41
  of these special invites. Like you're seeing people that
• 1:58:44
  are getting invites because it's just fan favorites and it's.
• 1:58:48
  If Mayhem were to say, hey, we're going to do the top 15
• 1:58:51
  from the games and then from there we're back feeling from
• 1:58:53
  the open, is that a special invite or is that that's a way?
• 1:58:58
  Because I think that's a way. I don't think that's a special
• 1:59:00
  invite. You know what you're doing the
• 1:59:01
  year beforehand. I think it needs to be announced
• 1:59:04
  before the games start, like so you have to have some
• 1:59:07
  continuity, which we never we never have.
• 1:59:08
  So it's hard to say that I'd be more OK with accepting that.
• 1:59:14
  I still like the idea of it all starts in the open.
• 1:59:16
  You go through the season, you. I do.
• 1:59:18
  But Mayhem wants to, you know, I, I, I agree.
• 1:59:21
  With you, I get I it's tough because of the timing, but at
• 1:59:24
  the same time, like if I have special invites, I know I go to
• 1:59:30
  Mayhem. I've got an invite to Syndicate.
• 1:59:32
  I have an invite to now the French throw down.
• 1:59:34
  Like if I'm Roman and I got to admit it to legends,
• 1:59:39
  quarterfinals doesn't matter. Now I just got to be top 2000.
• 1:59:42
  Like Roman doesn't have to try to be top 2000 in the world.
• 1:59:46
  I mean, he's clearly not, and they're open.
• 1:59:48
  So like that's way easier on Roman now because he's getting
• 1:59:54
  special invites. The same with Hopper.
• 1:59:56
  Or I like anybody else's getting there.
• 1:59:57
  I like Mayhem just taking from the open because now if you
• 2:00:00
  wanted to compete in Mayhem, you you really have to try because
• 2:00:05
  you gotta yeah, like, like. That's what I mean, like they're
• 2:00:10
  by giving all these special invites you change the whole
• 2:00:12
  perspective of the season. Like if you're a semi finals
• 2:00:16
  athlete who's trying to get there the first time, you get no
• 2:00:18
  special invites. Maybe you get lucky and you get
• 2:00:21
  Mayhem because you're a mayhem athlete.
• 2:00:25
  But for the most part, if you're not a top 20 athlete, you have
• 2:00:32
  to compete a different season than everybody else.
• 2:00:34
  Right. Like if you don't have to worry
• 2:00:37
  about semifinals, I know they don't have to like technically
• 2:00:39
  worry, but you got to try to qualify, right?
• 2:00:42
  If I'm if I'm Mathias Porter, I have to do my absolute best at
• 2:00:47
  at quarterfinals to try to get into one of the semifinals and
• 2:00:53
  half the spots were already taken because you've already
• 2:00:55
  given semifinal spots because of all these qualifiers or special
• 2:00:59
  invites. One or two things has happened.
• 2:01:02
  I think I did. This is like first reaction
• 2:01:06
  theories. 1 something's going on.
• 2:01:08
  It doesn't, it doesn't make a whole lot of sense.
• 2:01:10
  Like it's like a Russia thing or something, is all I could think
• 2:01:17
  is like, why would, but why would you even go to Europe at
• 2:01:19
  that point? The what?
• 2:01:20
  The thing that I really think is that Romans hurt and that
• 2:01:24
  Fecundo did a whole bunch of lobbying.
• 2:01:30
  I like that. Oh wow, that's that's.
• 2:01:35
  They looked at the season and. Roman's still trying.
• 2:01:37
  That this is your best. One, because Roman is Roman's
• 2:01:40
  competing at Mayhem, he's gotten a Legends invite.
• 2:01:44
  So that's the. Trains that mayhem, yeah.
• 2:01:45
  Those are the last two weekends in April and now mid-May, he
• 2:01:49
  gets an invite to French Throwdown.
• 2:01:52
  That's what's going on. I want to I want to question
• 2:01:55
  some Mayhem people about that though.
• 2:02:01
  Angela, let us know. Things to not say on air.
• 2:02:04
  Why? Because then they know it's
• 2:02:07
  coming, John. They just heard you say that you
• 2:02:11
  think it's all. Yeah.
• 2:02:12
  But if I say it versus John poking around, it's two
• 2:02:15
  different things. I don't think those are two
• 2:02:17
  different things. Half the time I don't even know
• 2:02:18
  what I'm talking about. That's true.
• 2:02:21
  Half of the time I'm speaking on something I don't know that I
• 2:02:26
  actually didn't know, but I didn't know that I knew it, and
• 2:02:30
  then having trouble, and then I get in trouble for it.
• 2:02:33
  So I laughed earlier and you said, what do you say?
• 2:02:36
  It sounded like a, you know, 60% of the time it works every time.
• 2:02:40
  You said 40% of the time, sometimes 60.
• 2:02:44
  I'm thinking two of the five events.
• 2:02:46
  Sometimes it just sounded funny. All right, that is it for
• 2:02:51
  tonight. If you are going to Miami, make
• 2:02:57
  sure you go visit the King Kong booth.
• 2:02:59
  They were at that Arnold and it looked amazing.
• 2:03:03
  They had like a gorilla like go check it out, tell them spin
• 2:03:07
  sent you go say hi to those guys.
• 2:03:09
