  or I didn't go to the gym today,
• 1:52
  so.
• 1:58
  Fergie actually sent me a reel,
• 2:01
  and now he's asking me a question about
• 2:03
  it.
• 2:03
  Would you rather do the
• 2:13
  So at the Savannah Bananas game,
• 2:15
  they had two hundred fifty year old men
• 2:17
  shirtless run.
• 2:21
  It was about a hundred, I'm guessing,
• 2:23
  a hundred meter sprint.
• 2:27
  I responded back to him.
• 2:28
  It had to break the record for most
• 2:30
  pulled hamstrings and torn Achilles.
• 2:32
  Oh, no.
• 2:34
  Were men going down?
• 2:36
  I don't know.
• 2:37
  I was just making a joke.
• 2:39
  There were definitely a couple that.
• 2:42
  worked out and there were definitely a
• 2:44
  bunch that did not in that race um
• 2:48
  i don't know what the seventy seventeen
• 2:49
  seventy six watt is if it's like the
• 2:53
  one we did at the gym you had
• 2:54
  to do like one thousand seven hundred and
• 2:56
  seventy six reps and it was like ten
• 3:00
  movements or whatever so just like cycle
• 3:02
  through it however you wanted to do it
• 3:05
  yeah i it depends on what those reps
• 3:07
  are
• 3:09
  So that I, I don't know.
• 3:11
  I feel like, I mean,
• 3:12
  it was like box jumps, kettlebell swing.
• 3:15
  I don't know.
• 3:20
  So a ton of double unders.
• 3:24
  Tutor.
• 3:24
  That in two minutes.
• 3:28
  What was that?
• 3:28
  You could do double unders.
• 3:30
  I think was one of the moments I
• 3:31
  said,
• 3:31
  tutor could finish that in like two
• 3:32
  minutes.
• 3:33
  Yeah.
• 3:33
  Yeah.
• 3:33
  Unbroken.
• 3:34
  Yeah.
• 3:38
  Um,
• 3:40
  Yeah, I, uh,
• 3:41
  my internet's going like in and out here.
• 3:43
  So I'm like,
• 3:44
  I'm catching pieces of things.
• 3:47
  Okay.
• 3:47
  Just jump in when you can.
• 3:49
  We gotcha.
• 3:50
  Um,
• 3:53
  I watched more soccer last week than I've
• 3:55
  ever watched in my entire life.
• 3:57
  Other than the show.
• 3:58
  Welcome to Rexham.
• 4:02
  And I actually found it exciting.
• 4:03
  I still was like confused about some
• 4:05
  things,
• 4:05
  but
• 4:07
  didn't grow up on soccer,
• 4:08
  didn't play soccer.
• 4:09
  So I, you know, it's really tough.
• 4:11
  Yeah.
• 4:12
  Welcome to Rexham is like the most soccer
• 4:14
  I've taken in as well.
• 4:16
  Well, that in compare and with Ted Lasso,
• 4:20
  those two shows, um, Rob Mack looks weird.
• 4:26
  Now he lost me.
• 4:27
  I,
• 4:29
  I didn't notice a difference other than
• 4:33
  the name change.
• 4:34
  I haven't watched the most recent season,
• 4:36
  so I don't know.
• 4:36
  I've watched every episode, I think.
• 4:40
  Okay.
• 4:43
  I did notice some people watch, well,
• 4:45
  Jason Bourne watched Project Hail Mary.
• 4:48
  I've seen it twice.
• 4:49
  I saw Averro hate on it.
• 4:52
  It does take a minute to get into
• 4:53
  it.
• 4:55
  Um, it's just like the book when I,
• 4:57
  I actually listened to the book on a
• 4:59
  long trip and the first hour of the
• 5:02
  book, I'm just going, what is going on?
• 5:06
  But that's, that's kind of the book,
• 5:08
  like it's the premise and the plot line.
• 5:13
  It's a man who wakes up,
• 5:14
  doesn't know who he is, where he is,
• 5:15
  what he's doing.
• 5:17
  And,
• 5:17
  and he's uncovering this as the book movie
• 5:22
  unfold.
• 5:24
  And as it unfolds,
• 5:25
  you become aware of it when he becomes
• 5:27
  aware of it.
• 5:33
  Okay.
• 5:33
  I started watching,
• 5:35
  I think it's Maximum Pleasure something.
• 5:38
  Yeah,
• 5:38
  Lex texted me yesterday that you guys were
• 5:42
  into Maximum Pleasure Guaranteed.
• 5:44
  We're all caught up on it.
• 5:45
  It's good.
• 5:46
  It's good.
• 5:48
  It is not at all what I expected.
• 5:50
  Not at all what I expected.
• 5:52
  No, certainly not.
• 5:54
  But but it's like there's a couple
• 5:57
  episodes my jaw was on the floor at
• 5:59
  the very end.
• 6:01
  It because it is that shocking.
• 6:05
  I really like it.
• 6:06
  I'm like waiting for the next one to
• 6:07
  come out.
• 6:07
  Yeah,
• 6:09
  I think there's only one more episode this
• 6:11
  season.
• 6:13
  Oh, really?
• 6:14
  Yeah.
• 6:14
  There's still a few pictures that I'm
• 6:16
  trying to connect and I'm like, oh,
• 6:17
  we still haven't,
• 6:18
  we don't know who this person is or,
• 6:21
  so lots of questions left to be answered.
• 6:26
  Terry,
• 6:26
  nineteen ninety nine for the ladies.
• 6:29
  Again,
• 6:29
  we are taking donations for Carolyn and
• 6:32
  Jamie to get them to San Jose.
• 6:36
  Any super chat that comes in,
• 6:38
  we'll go directly to them.
• 6:41
  And I am offsetting any charge that
• 6:43
  YouTube gives that super chat.
• 6:46
  So,
• 6:46
  one hundred percent of your donation goes
• 6:48
  to Jamie and Carolyn.
• 6:50
  So, thank you so much, Terry.
• 6:51
  And I think we're going to extend it
• 6:52
  for one more week.
• 6:54
  One more week.
• 6:56
  Oh.
• 6:57
  Yeah, I'm going to do one more week.
• 6:59
  We still have two and a half weeks
• 7:00
  before the games.
• 7:02
  So, if we go one more week, that'll...
• 7:03
  I think tomorrow they begin releasing work
• 7:08
  notes for the masses.
• 7:08
  I think we get some, yeah.
• 7:11
  Yeah,
• 7:11
  I figured like next weekend we would
• 7:14
  preview the Masters games.
• 7:16
  The weekend after that,
• 7:17
  we'll preview the Elite games.
• 7:20
  Because we'll probably know a little bit
• 7:22
  more at that point.
• 7:25
  If you guys are still here.
• 7:27
  Yeah.
• 7:28

  Dang.
• 9:27
  Thank you.
• 9:30
  Great Independence Day here in the States,
• 9:32
  minus the fireworks for the dogs.
• 9:35
  It's always a night like Lex slept on
• 9:40
  the floor with one of our dogs, Callie,
• 9:43
  because she just gets very anxious and
• 9:48
  their hearts are going crazy.
• 9:51
  We don't like the fireworks here.
• 9:56
  Do I have help with the backyard?
• 9:59
  My wife, to some degree.
• 10:02
  But pretty much it's just me.
• 10:03
  Some directions on where to put things?
• 10:10
  She actually is even backed off on that.
• 10:11
  She's letting me kind of design it.
• 10:14
  And then she's coming in with flowers and
• 10:16
  stuff for the areas that aren't going to
• 10:18
  be like seating areas.
• 10:21
  So... But yeah.
• 10:25
  Lots of wheelbarrow pushing...
• 10:28
  lots of i i made a cement pad
• 10:30
  this weekend um coming off my steps lots
• 10:36
  of heavy bags of quick crete that i
• 10:38
  didn't have enough had to run to the
• 10:40
  hardware store get more come back if
• 10:43
  you're doing a project and you don't have
• 10:45
  to run back to the hardware store you're
• 10:47
  not doing it right you're right you're
• 10:52
  right um okay
• 10:57
  No harm in getting help, Scott.
• 10:59
  Sometimes getting extra hands is good.
• 11:02
  Here's the deal.
• 11:03
  I don't even really know what I want
• 11:05
  the end product to be.
• 11:08
  I'm kind of making it up as I
• 11:09
  go.
• 11:10
  And I didn't put any expectations on me
• 11:13
  other than I have all summer to make
• 11:15
  this.
• 11:17
  Have you been having good weather?
• 11:19
  It's just been hot this week.
• 11:21
  Like I was doing really good.
• 11:23
  We were getting a lot of headway.
• 11:25
  And then this week it just was brutally
• 11:27
  hot.
• 11:29
  Yeah.
• 11:29
  It went from like seventy five to ninety
• 11:32
  six.
• 11:33
  It was a little insane.
• 11:35
  We hit ninety eight one day,
• 11:37
  but it's all been like and a hundred
• 11:39
  percent humidity.
• 11:40
  Yeah, I know.
• 11:40
  The real feel was like one oh six.
• 11:42
  It was insane.
• 11:43
  Yeah.
• 11:44
  And this the heart medicine I'm on,
• 11:46
  it makes me sensitive to heat.
• 11:49
  so like i'm doing things in like small
• 11:51
  chunks like i'll go work for twenty
• 11:53
  minutes to a half hour take a break
• 11:55
  go work for twenty minutes to half an
• 11:57
  hour and just keep doing that over and
• 11:59
  over again and then if it rains i
• 12:02
  work on the garage those are my two
• 12:03
  projects um yeah vicky my garage was a
• 12:11
  sauna yeah it was brutal um
• 12:18
  I have feedback from somebody now it's
• 12:21
  gone.
• 12:24
  Okay.
• 12:24
  Uh, cows and CrossFit.
• 12:25
  Tell me about Scott.
• 12:26
  I was bailing hay all week.
• 12:27
  That is a brutal job.
• 12:29
  Yeah.
• 12:30
  That sounds awful.
• 12:36
  Uh,
• 12:36
  has anyone ever got enough bag of wood
• 12:38
  chips their first time to finish?
• 12:40
  So you're saying mulch mulch?
• 12:43
  No,
• 12:43
  we never have enough or you buy too
• 12:46
  much and you have six bags left.
• 12:48
  Yes,
• 12:49
  that's usually what happens around here.
• 12:53
  It's like pasta sauce and pasta.
• 12:56
  You can never get it to match.
• 13:03
  Good analogy.
• 13:05
  So anyway,
• 13:07
  we're going to talk about some stuff
• 13:08
  tonight.
• 13:09
  I was trying to think,
• 13:11
  any other big sports stuff happen this
• 13:13
  week?
• 13:13
  Nothing really, right?
• 13:15
  Oh, F-one.
• 13:16
  Here's my fascinating fact for F-one
• 13:18
  today.
• 13:20
  So the course at,
• 13:22
  in the UK at Silverstone is five point
• 13:25
  eight K.
• 13:27
  If you were to run a five K,
• 13:29
  how fast, how fast would it take you?
• 13:33
  Right now?
• 13:34
  I don't know.
• 13:34
  Twenty one minutes, twenty minutes.
• 13:36
  A five K?
• 13:38
  Yeah.
• 13:47
  Do you know?
• 13:48
  Carolyn,
• 13:49
  do you have a guess what you would
• 13:50
  run it in?
• 13:53
  On how long I would run a five
• 13:55
  K?
• 13:55
  Yeah.
• 14:02
  These cars were doing five point eight K
• 14:04
  in eighty eight seconds.
• 14:06
  What?
• 14:09
  Eighty eight seconds.
• 14:12
  That's insane.
• 14:16
  The perspective of that is mind-boggling.
• 14:23
  Yeah.
• 14:23
  It was a terrible race end.
• 14:24
  It ended under a yellow.
• 14:26
  There was no excitement.
• 14:26
  And that's with turns and stuff too.
• 14:29
  Oh, yeah.
• 14:30
  Yeah.
• 14:34
  But it ended under yellow.
• 14:37
  My guy Lando came in fourth.
• 14:40
  So just off the podium.
• 14:41
  I think he could have got third if
• 14:42
  they would have gone green again.
• 14:44
  But they just never did.
• 14:47
  And it was just kind of a bleh.
• 14:50
  So crazy NBA and NHL trades, yeah.
• 14:55
  My Seventy Sixers got, oh my gosh,
• 15:00
  I'm blanking.
• 15:01
  The guy from the Celtics.
• 15:05
  Jalen Brown.
• 15:07
  Jalen Brown, yeah.
• 15:08
  Kawhi Leonard's coming back to Toronto.
• 15:09
  Yeah.
• 15:10
  Yeah.
• 15:12
  There's trades all over the NHL.
• 15:14
  It's like insane.
• 15:15
  Paul George is going to the Celtics.
• 15:25
  Yep.
• 15:25
  Yep.
• 15:25
  And LeBron is doing decision six,
• 15:29
  apparently.
• 15:31
  Taking his talents to somewhere.
• 15:37
  Do you know how long the Nuremberg ring
• 15:39
  is?
• 15:39
  I don't.
• 15:42
  I don't.
• 15:45
  Yeah.
• 15:50
  So, all right, let's talk about some,
• 15:52
  some CrossFit stuff.
• 15:56
  Wait, I have a question.
• 15:57
  Did you have your progressive dinner?
• 16:01
  So my progressive dinner for the fourth
• 16:03
  turned into a cookout.
• 16:06
  Oh, good.
• 16:08
  I'm happy for you.
• 16:10
  It was burgers and dogs, macaroni salad,
• 16:15
  pickles.
• 16:16
  I am so addicted to pickles right now.
• 16:18
  I love pickles.
• 16:19
  I don't think a day goes by that
• 16:20
  I don't eat a pickle.
• 16:24
  Did you get my snack that I sent
• 16:25
  you?
• 16:26
  Aaron had made that Grillo's pickle dip.
• 16:29
  I saw it, yeah,
• 16:30
  but I didn't know what it was.
• 16:31
  I've never.
• 16:32
  Oh, you haven't seen that, like,
• 16:33
  going around TikTok?
• 16:34
  No.
• 16:35
  Oh, okay.
• 16:37
  Yeah, but you, like,
• 16:38
  take the pickles out and, like,
• 16:40
  save some of the juice.
• 16:41
  You, like, chop the pickles, add bacon,
• 16:43
  cheese, cream cheese, obviously.
• 16:44
  You put it back in the jar.
• 16:47
  Was it good?
• 16:49
  Yeah, it was good.
• 16:50
  He did two of them.
• 16:51
  Grillo's has a hot pickle as well.
• 16:54
  And so he did one that was, like,
• 16:55
  a spicy dip and one that was regular.
• 16:57
  Okay.
• 17:01
  You can just buy pickle de gallo from
• 17:03
  Gorillaz.
• 17:04
  Really?
• 17:07
  I didn't know I had that.
• 17:09
  So here's an unpopular.
• 17:11
  I am not a fan of Gorillaz.
• 17:14
  When they're good, they're really,
• 17:15
  really good.
• 17:16
  But it is really inconsistent.
• 17:18
  I agree with that.
• 17:20
  I agree.
• 17:21
  I like just like cloths and pickles.
• 17:22
  Like that's what I usually get out of
• 17:24
  the refrigerator section.
• 17:27
  Which brand?
• 17:27
  I'm sorry.
• 17:28
  Clawson.
• 17:29
  Yeah.
• 17:30
  I have Clawson's in my fridge all the
• 17:32
  time.
• 17:32
  Yeah, that's what I prefer.
• 17:34
  Yeah.
• 17:34
  They're a little, like, too dilly for me.
• 17:37
  They're not, like, I don't know, garlicky,
• 17:38
  I guess, enough.
• 17:39
  I don't know.
• 17:41
  I get that,
• 17:42
  because we had Grillo's at the picnic
• 17:44
  yesterday,
• 17:45
  and it had a good garlic bite to
• 17:47
  it, and they were a good Grillo pickle,
• 17:50
  but you just don't get the same one
• 17:51
  every time.
• 17:52
  Yeah, I can see the batches.
• 17:54
  Where Clausen's are pretty right down the
• 17:57
  fairway every time.
• 18:01
  Yep.
• 18:01
  I bought some from New Jersey,
• 18:02
  like the New Jersey Pickle Company one
• 18:04
  time by mail.
• 18:06
  And they have these things called whole
• 18:08
  sours.
• 18:10
  That was amazing.
• 18:11
  Really?
• 18:12
  And when they say whole sour,
• 18:14
  it's how much dill and garlic they put
• 18:17
  in.
• 18:17
  And it's the whole bit.
• 18:21
  They were amazing.
• 18:22
  Mm-hmm.
• 18:25
  Kenneth Tilap is a bread and butter
• 18:27
  pickles guy.
• 18:27
  I'm not really partial.
• 18:29
  I just don't like sweet pickles.
• 18:31
  I do not either.
• 18:33
  But I prefer a dill,
• 18:37
  but I'll eat a bread and butter if
• 18:38
  it's there.
• 18:45
  Ed, you're wrong.
• 18:47
  You are wrong, Ed.
• 18:48
  That's all it is.
• 18:48
  It's your wrong.
• 18:51
  um all right so uh we have the
• 18:54
  leaderboard finalized this week not that
• 18:57
  it was any big surprise because it didn't
• 19:00
  change much in the last four or five
• 19:02
  days um we know who's going to the
• 19:06
  games now we've announced enough times on
• 19:09
  this show we don't need to go through
• 19:10
  it again but one thing i found fascinating
• 19:13
  as i was listening to the interview with
• 19:16
  dave and ariel today she is the oldest
• 19:19
  female athlete at thirty two
• 19:23
  That's new.
• 19:24
  I thought she was older than thirty-two.
• 19:27
  I literally just listened to it before the
• 19:29
  show.
• 19:30
  She's thirty-two?
• 19:34
  Yep.
• 19:36
  Now the men may have an older guy.
• 19:38
  And on the women's side,
• 19:39
  it's the youngest, oldest athlete ever.
• 19:45
  Miley's the youngest?
• 19:48
  No, no, no.
• 19:49
  Ariel is the youngest,
• 19:50
  oldest athlete ever.
• 19:52
  Oh, yeah.
• 19:52
  That makes sense.
• 19:53
  Yes.
• 20:00
  Makes sense.
• 20:01
  I mean, Carolyn was there last year,
• 20:02
  right?
• 20:02
  She's older than thirty-two.
• 20:03
  Well, I found interesting... Go ahead.
• 20:04
  Yeah.
• 20:07
  We have a delay,
• 20:08
  so I'm going to stop, Carolyn.
• 20:09
  You go.
• 20:09
  What I found... Sorry.
• 20:12
  Yeah, the internet's not great here.
• 20:13
  That...
• 20:16
  a third of the field came out of
• 20:18
  the teens division.
• 20:20
  I thought that was interesting to hear.
• 20:23
  Ten out of the thirty females competed in
• 20:26
  the teenage division.
• 20:27
  And I think he said seven out of
• 20:29
  the thirty men also came through the teen
• 20:31
  division.
• 20:34
  I thought that was interesting stats.
• 20:36
  That's a big, big change.
• 20:40
  Because there was a period where the men
• 20:42
  weren't bringing anybody out of the teen
• 20:44
  division.
• 20:49
  Is Miley seventeen or eighteen?
• 20:52
  When she did the interview with Dave,
• 20:54
  I believe she was seventeen.
• 20:56
  I don't know if she still is or
• 20:57
  not.
• 21:11
  Um.
• 21:15
  Tessa said,
• 21:16
  Dave always forgets about shit.
• 21:18
  And it was so awkward that he asked
• 21:20
  Ariel if she talked to Tia about babies.
• 21:25
  It was kind of weird.
• 21:27
  Because it was like Ariel didn't even know
• 21:29
  how to answer the question.
• 21:38
  I haven't listened to the Ariel interview
• 21:40
  yet.
• 21:40
  I'll have to catch up on that one.
• 21:42
  Is she not...
• 21:45
  friendly with you do they not talk i
• 21:48
  don't think it's that i it just seemed
• 21:52
  ariel's answer was when i talked to tia
• 21:57
  we don't talk about kids i could see
• 22:00
  that yeah and dave they're just moms and
• 22:05
  that's the only thing they have to talk
• 22:06
  about yeah kind of it was weird it
• 22:09
  was awkward
• 22:14
  But I did think that,
• 22:18
  I think all these interviews have brought
• 22:20
  something to the forefront of what could
• 22:24
  be coming at the games.
• 22:27
  And that's the big thing I wanted to
• 22:28
  talk about kind of this week is all
• 22:31
  of these little announcements that
• 22:33
  CrossFit is leaking out over and over
• 22:36
  again.
• 22:36
  We know we're getting the original hopper
• 22:39
  workout as the first workout of the games.
• 22:42
  We know we're getting no dives and no
• 22:43
  flip turns, which I am completely against.
• 22:47
  And I want to go off on that
• 22:49
  in a minute.
• 22:54
  Well, no, on his story the other day,
• 22:56
  someone dove into the water.
• 22:58
  And he said, no rep.
• 23:00
  Right.
• 23:06
  Oh, I didn't have the volume on.
• 23:07
  Yeah.
• 23:09
  Yeah, he screams no rep on that.
• 23:14
  We know it's twenty five meter swims,
• 23:17
  which is not that big of a deal
• 23:19
  in the swimming world.
• 23:22
  The bike is back.
• 23:24
  We know the snail and the pig are
• 23:26
  back.
• 23:28
  We it's we also know one we only
• 23:31
  know one full event,
• 23:32
  but we know all these little like things
• 23:35
  that have popped off.
• 23:37
  Right.
• 23:38
  like Snail Pig and the hoppers being used
• 23:41
  and so on and so forth.
• 23:43
  And then on the couple interviews I heard
• 23:45
  today that there's going to be a couple
• 23:50
  long events and a couple BAM events that
• 23:55
  are pretty much instantaneous.
• 23:57
  Yeah.
• 24:01
  So I think that's really interesting.
• 24:05
  I mean, that was to be expected, though.
• 24:08
  Jumping, throwing, all of those are BAM.
• 24:16
  Yeah,
• 24:17
  and I wanted to get Carolyn's opinion on
• 24:19
  that because she's been begging for BAM
• 24:22
  events.
• 24:29
  I begged for BAM events for ten years.
• 24:33
  I'm old now.
• 24:37
  it means nothing to us could have used
• 24:38
  those bam events before yeah uh he i
• 24:44
  haven't got to the alexis interview yet he
• 24:46
  told alexis there would be five more than
• 24:48
  five events on wednesday wow so they're
• 24:52
  just they're just cramming them in
• 24:53
  probably a bunch of the short ones that's
• 24:55
  kind of what we expected though
• 24:58
  I was listening to the,
• 24:59
  I think it was Quinn Robinson one when
• 25:01
  he was talking about all the handstand
• 25:02
  stuff and on the rings things.
• 25:04
  And Dave was saying to continue to work
• 25:08
  what their peers are doing.
• 25:10
  Like I'm looking at everyone practicing.
• 25:11
  I'm like,
• 25:11
  is there a leak that has gone?
• 25:13
  Cause like,
• 25:15
  like why is everyone doing all of these
• 25:19
  moments all of a sudden?
• 25:20
  Like more so than any other year.
• 25:21
  I'm like, there's,
• 25:24
  there's some leaks for sure.
• 25:26
  Probably.
• 25:27
  Great.
• 25:29
  Well, there probably are leaks,
• 25:32
  but it's also because it's Tony events and
• 25:35
  all of this stuff,
• 25:36
  you can't just do your classic CrossFit
• 25:40
  training anymore.
• 25:42
  You have to try all these weird things.
• 25:45
  The pan chicks going to a fire station
• 25:48
  and running through the,
• 25:49
  the rescue Randy fireman's test.
• 25:53
  I would like,
• 25:54
  I thought that was really cool to see
• 25:55
  them do that.
• 26:01
  But that's less leaky of testing stuff
• 26:05
  than like other things that you see.
• 26:06
  I think like when everyone's doing the
• 26:08
  same movement, you're like, Hmm.
• 26:12
  What movements are those like all the like
• 26:16
  front roll back roll stuff that everyone's
• 26:17
  just keeps doing,
• 26:19
  but they're doing way more than other
• 26:21
  years.
• 26:21
  Like we would see the press to handstand
• 26:23
  people practice that.
• 26:25
  But like all of the roles,
• 26:26
  I don't know.
• 26:27
  I,
• 26:27
  I think that's seems a little bit leaky
• 26:31
  to me.
• 26:32
  I'm seeing a lot of double under cross,
• 26:35
  but I mean, it wouldn't be,
• 26:37
  it wouldn't be surprising.
• 26:38
  Like how many people have tested these
• 26:39
  workouts?
• 26:40
  Everyone's friends with people are dating
• 26:41
  people that are about,
• 26:42
  or let's invite someone's brother to be on
• 26:44
  the demo team this year.
• 26:45
  Right?
• 26:46
  Like it's literally anything.
• 26:49
  That's why there's going to be leaks.
• 26:54
  CrossFat says, has not been a leak,
• 26:56
  but Dave's been sprinkling dumb crumbs
• 26:58
  that we all nerd about.
• 27:00
  I think it's both.
• 27:01
  I think it's both, CrossFat.
• 27:03
  I don't think you can say there hasn't
• 27:05
  been a leak.
• 27:09
  Daniel Arnson, final attempt,
• 27:10
  but also want to support.
• 27:12
  Jamie say, go blue, or when you win,
• 27:15
  you can say,
• 27:15
  I just want to thank the University of
• 27:17
  Michigan for your four ninety nine.
• 27:20
  I'll say go blue for the
• 27:25
  Thank you, Daniel.
• 27:31
  Oh, that hurts.
• 27:34
  CrossFit says he didn't leak it.
• 27:36
  I don't think it's HQ anymore.
• 27:40
  I think it's all the testers.
• 27:43
  Yeah.
• 27:44
  I agree.
• 27:48
  There's just too many camps,
• 27:49
  too many relationships.
• 27:51
  Yeah.
• 27:52
  It's hard to find people that are good
• 27:55
  at testing things that would give you good
• 27:57
  data and aren't best friends or training
• 28:01
  partners,
• 28:02
  significant others of people that are at
• 28:04
  the game.
• 28:04
  That's really hard to find that.
• 28:08
  That's the tough part about the unknown.
• 28:12
  To find that person that's fit enough to
• 28:14
  test it and isn't attached to a person
• 28:20
  or a camp.
• 28:28
  You are right, CrossFit.
• 28:29
  Savannah Taylor did spend an entire show
• 28:31
  figuring out which gymnastics video Dave
• 28:33
  is watching.
• 28:36
  Maybe pay that tester crazy monies if it
• 28:39
  never gets out.
• 28:44
  We gonna take that from the prize purse?
• 28:51
  Where do we find the money?
• 28:54
  We're crying poor.
• 29:00
  John won't tell me anything about anything
• 29:02
  and I gave birth to him.
• 29:03
  John shouldn't know anything.
• 29:06
  True.
• 29:06
  If he does, that is a problem.
• 29:08
  I agree.
• 29:16
  Kenneth, if I was HQ,
• 29:17
  I'd leak the wrong stuff.
• 29:20
  Yeah.
• 29:24
  Seth Jumpship,
• 29:25
  lots of monkeys see monkey do this time
• 29:27
  of year.
• 29:28
  If they see a peer with a skill
• 29:30
  they don't have,
• 29:31
  they start doing that skill to make sure
• 29:32
  they don't get left behind.
• 29:34
  It can get silly.
• 29:37
  I can see that too, for sure.
• 29:47
  So with all the breadcrumbs that have been
• 29:50
  leaked...
• 29:52
  Does this make the games more exciting for
• 29:54
  you this year?
• 29:57
  And I'm just talking about the elites.
• 29:58
  We're going to get into Masters next week,
• 30:00
  but... I mean, honestly, I'm not...
• 30:09
  I'm not even going to be watching the
• 30:10
  elites.
• 30:12
  I'm not even excited for the games.
• 30:16
  But that's because of your circumstances.
• 30:17
  I'm excited for the Tony event.
• 30:24
  if you didn't have a teen competing on
• 30:26
  the weekend and you weren't competing,
• 30:28
  would you be excited for the games?
• 30:31
  Yeah.
• 30:31
  Yeah.
• 30:32
  I'd be excited to see what.
• 30:34
  We're going to come up with and how
• 30:38
  it all plays out.
• 30:39
  I think it's a good field.
• 30:41
  I think thirties, the right number.
• 30:43
  I think they have good athletes there.
• 30:44
  Yes.
• 30:44
  I would be, I would be more excited.
• 30:50
  I'm super excited.
• 30:51
  I think I am more excited for this
• 30:53
  year than I've been in the last handful
• 30:57
  of years going into the games.
• 31:01
  I love, like for me,
• 31:02
  they're bringing back some of the most,
• 31:05
  the,
• 31:06
  my most favorite items are coming back.
• 31:09
  Pig, snail, a bike, swim.
• 31:15
  I want to see all those things.
• 31:18
  Um,
• 31:21
  I love everything that's been announced so
• 31:23
  far.
• 31:24
  I'm more excited this year than other
• 31:27
  years for all the little breadcrumbs and
• 31:29
  stuff like that.
• 31:31
  I just hope it's all just functional.
• 31:35
  As much functional as possible.
• 31:36
  I don't want it to be any very
• 31:39
  gimmicky type
• 31:40
  Where it's like,
• 31:41
  is this really relevant in a test of
• 31:42
  fitness type test?
• 31:44
  That's why I'm not a huge fan of
• 31:46
  the front row stuff.
• 31:47
  I could care less if someone can do
• 31:49
  that.
• 31:49
  I don't think that that determines fitness
• 31:51
  at all.
• 31:52
  I really don't.
• 31:54
  So I could care less about that.
• 31:55
  But if we're going to be swimming,
• 31:56
  throwing, biking on a real bike,
• 31:59
  jumping over things...
• 32:01
  know moving across the field like i love
• 32:03
  that i think that's a great test of
• 32:05
  fitness go long go short medium um but
• 32:08
  i just could do away with some of
• 32:09
  the things that like i don't think are
• 32:11
  that important in the test of fitness but
• 32:14
  with twenty events you can do those type
• 32:15
  of things but i just hope it's not
• 32:17
  well uh at ai but be real with
• 32:22
  me scott is it too many flashy wads
• 32:25
  is too many flashy wads bad i'm not
• 32:27
  saying i want them all to be flashy
• 32:29
  wads
• 32:30
  The original hopper workout,
• 32:32
  there's nothing flashy about that workout.
• 32:35
  Nothing flashy.
• 32:37
  It is row, shoulder to overhead,
• 32:41
  and pull-ups.
• 32:42
  That is it.
• 32:43
  But I'm excited to see how much faster
• 32:46
  today's athlete can do it from twenty
• 32:48
  years ago.
• 32:52
  Like, they didn't even do butterfly,
• 32:54
  I think, at that point, right?
• 32:55
  Like,
• 32:55
  most of the athletes were just skipping.
• 32:58
  Yeah,
• 32:58
  I think that's when Butterfly first
• 33:00
  appeared.
• 33:01
  Sorry if my internet's horrible.
• 33:04
  No,
• 33:05
  it's just a little bit of a delay.
• 33:06
  I think we're good.
• 33:09
  I mean, essentially,
• 33:10
  the Butterfly pull-up was invented at the
• 33:12
  first ever games.
• 33:15
  And Dave talks about it with Janie
• 33:20
  Cheveri.
• 33:22
  because she trained at OPT,
• 33:24
  and there were two Canadians that had come
• 33:25
  to the games.
• 33:26
  Everybody thought OPT was going to win,
• 33:29
  and it was APT that won the games.
• 33:33
  I didn't know that that's what James
• 33:34
  Fitzgerald was called.
• 33:38
  But anyway, yeah,
• 33:41
  like that story only gets told when we
• 33:44
  get to come back and do this.
• 33:52
  I need a spectacle of fitness.
• 33:54
  We know the PGA golfers are the best,
• 33:56
  but if the course is boring, it sucks.
• 33:59
  I have been saying that for a week,
• 34:00
  CrossFat,
• 34:00
  and people have been hammering me.
• 34:02
  I want it to be a spectacle at
• 34:04
  the games.
• 34:10
  Yeah.
• 34:11
  I don't want it to be you get
• 34:12
  six tries to be there.
• 34:14
  I want it to mean something and to
• 34:16
  be a spectacle once you get there.
• 34:20
  I do think Dave does a good job
• 34:24
  of that.
• 34:24
  He thinks about the story on the floor.
• 34:27
  He thinks about it being exciting.
• 34:28
  He usually thinks about finish lines.
• 34:32
  But he doesn't think about the how to
• 34:34
  get there story.
• 34:37
  Or is not allowed to think about the
• 34:38
  how to get there story.
• 34:43
  The season is the story.
• 34:45
  Yeah.
• 34:46
  The games are the culmination of that
• 34:48
  story.
• 34:50
  And without getting to the climax of the
• 34:54
  story,
• 34:57
  it's all on the games to pull it
• 34:59
  off.
• 35:01
  Right.
• 35:04
  And that's where everything is missing.
• 35:09
  It's like Avera couldn't get through the
• 35:10
  beginning of Project Hail Mary because it
• 35:13
  was all discombobulated and confusing and
• 35:16
  slow.
• 35:18
  He never even gave the climax a chance.
• 35:24
  And we're doing the same thing with the
• 35:26
  CrossFit game season.
• 35:28
  It makes no damn sense.
• 35:31
  It's discombobulated.
• 35:33
  It's all over the map,
• 35:34
  and people are giving up on it.
• 35:36
  Yeah, that's fair.
• 35:43
  March Madness is phenomenal because of the
• 35:45
  heartbreaks like Duke-UConn last year.
• 35:48
  Yes.
• 35:50
  It tells a story.
• 35:51
  Sam Briggs, not making the CrossFit Games,
• 35:54
  told a story.
• 35:55
  Then the next year,
• 35:57
  will she make it back?
• 35:59
  Becomes a whole new story.
• 36:03
  Katrin falling off the rope to then come
• 36:06
  back and not only make it to the
• 36:08
  Games, but win the Games twice.
• 36:11
  That's a story.
• 36:19
  Being lovey-dovey and making sure
• 36:21
  everybody's happy to get to the games
• 36:24
  doesn't set up those storylines.
• 36:29
  Sports are cruel.
• 36:34
  Getting a red card within half an hour
• 36:35
  to go in the match and have to
• 36:37
  play one man down to win the game,
• 36:41
  that creates a story because sports are
• 36:44
  cruel.
• 36:51
  We probably wouldn't care about some tall,
• 36:52
  nerdy Canadian if it didn't take three
• 36:54
  misses for Brent.
• 37:00
  Everybody knew who he was when he got
• 37:01
  to the games because of the near misses
• 37:04
  he had the three years prior.
• 37:10
  Yes, Nate Ackerman is a great story.
• 37:13
  It's a great story.
• 37:16
  But it needs to play out in a
• 37:18
  way with the drama.
• 37:29
  Are we still talking about CrossFitters?
• 37:31
  This turned into the Dr. Ruth show.
• 37:33
  We have not talked about love or the
• 37:36
  bedroom or anything like that for you.
• 37:38
  This is nowhere near Dr. Ruth.
• 37:39
  All right.
• 37:50
  So I do want to talk briefly about
• 37:51
  the swim event.
• 37:55
  If we...
• 37:58
  And I had a long talk with Jackie
• 38:01
  Robinson last night because she was a
• 38:04
  former swimmer.
• 38:06
  I was a former swimmer.
• 38:07
  This whole bit about banning the flip turn
• 38:11
  makes absolutely no sense.
• 38:14
  Zero sense.
• 38:16
  There are probably only two people in the
• 38:18
  games field that can do a flip turn
• 38:22
  with efficiency enough to even make a bit
• 38:26
  of difference.
• 38:30
  Most people are going to try a flip
• 38:32
  turn and pop straight up out of the
• 38:33
  water because they've had to hold their
• 38:36
  breath while flipping upside down.
• 38:43
  Tessa,
• 38:44
  twenty-five meters is not a short
• 38:46
  distance.
• 38:53
  I swim in twenty-five yard pools,
• 38:55
  which are shorter than meters.
• 38:57
  all the time.
• 38:59
  You own the big meats are the only
• 39:00
  place you got to an Olympic sized pool.
• 39:04
  I did not streamline kick off the wall
• 39:06
  more than a third of the pool.
• 39:09
  And I was a good swimmer.
• 39:13
  Lucy Campbell and Ty Jenkins might be able
• 39:16
  to do that.
• 39:18
  Nobody else.
• 39:21
  So Justin beat high
• 39:25
  But Justin doesn't have technique at the
• 39:27
  flip thing.
• 39:30
  But at WFP, didn't Justin beat Ty?
• 39:35
  But it was a straight, like,
• 39:36
  five hundred meter swim.
• 39:39
  That'd be different?
• 39:41
  Yes.
• 39:44
  I think there's a few swimmers that could
• 39:45
  do the flip turn, though.
• 39:51
  I've watched a lot of CrossFit swimmers,
• 39:53
  at most, therefore,
• 39:55
  that could do a flipped.
• 39:57
  Listen,
• 39:57
  I told this story to Jackie last night.
• 40:00
  I went to states.
• 40:01
  I was favored to win the Pennsylvania
• 40:03
  State Championships,
• 40:04
  and I missed a flip turn.
• 40:07
  And it didn't touch the wall.
• 40:09
  I had to backpedal to the wall.
• 40:11
  And I was favored to win.
• 40:15
  Flip turns are a risk.
• 40:16
  Right, I agree with that.
• 40:18
  If you're really, really good at them.
• 40:26
  You're on mute, Carolyn.
• 40:33
  Can you hear me now?
• 40:34
  Yep.
• 40:38
  Were you saying something?
• 40:39
  It looked like you were talking.
• 40:40
  I said,
• 40:40
  so are rebounding box jump overs and we
• 40:42
  don't allow certain athletic people to do
• 40:46
  it.
• 40:48
  I think that's dumb too.
• 40:52
  I think the athlete should choose if they
• 40:53
  want to do them or not.
• 41:01
  If an athlete can flip turn,
• 41:02
  they are going to win no matter what,
• 41:04
  simply by more if they can flip turn.
• 41:07
  Maybe.
• 41:11
  You're right,
• 41:11
  because if they can do an efficient flip
• 41:14
  turn, they are a damn good swimmer.
• 41:17
  And so they're going to win in the
• 41:18
  water regardless.
• 41:20
  And even if they stop and grab the
• 41:22
  wall and push off,
• 41:23
  I would contend they would be able to
• 41:26
  be more efficient by going under the water
• 41:28
  with a streamline kick longer than if they
• 41:33
  did a flip turn.
• 41:35
  And you may actually be playing into their
• 41:37
  hands.
• 41:37
  Yeah.
• 41:43
  Yes, Eric,
• 41:44
  you shouldn't restrict efficiency.
• 41:47
  i'm sure it's just a safety thing i'm
• 41:50
  sure it was a fight just to even
• 41:52
  get a pool involved they're going to keep
• 41:55
  it as.
• 42:00
  they're going to keep it as clear cut
• 42:02
  to be able to see people.
• 42:07
  as they can.
• 42:08
  The last thing you need is somebody
• 42:11
  getting dizzy and turning three quarters
• 42:13
  of the way and pushing into the ground
• 42:14
  and hitting their head.
• 42:16
  That's the last thing we need as a
• 42:17
  sport.
• 42:20
  I get the diving thing.
• 42:21
  I'll give you the diving for safety.
• 42:23
  The flip turn doesn't
• 42:27
  Anyway, Shelly says,
• 42:29
  we rewatched the event with Jordan Trojan,
• 42:31
  and he is so much better at the
• 42:32
  flip turn than anyone else because he was
• 42:34
  a swimmer.
• 42:35
  Matt Frazier was training to be an Olympic
• 42:39
  weightlifter.
• 42:40
  Should he be restricted on how he does
• 42:43
  a snatch or a clean and jerk because
• 42:45
  he was trained that as a kid?
• 42:52
  It's one event.
• 42:54
  It's why restrict for one event of twenty?
• 43:02
  I mean,
• 43:04
  unless they have specific rules for
• 43:09
  implementing the pool again,
• 43:11
  like maybe these were the restrictions
• 43:13
  that they were given.
• 43:15
  their first event back in the water it
• 43:17
  was like no diving no flip turns just
• 43:19
  touch and that's how you can introduce
• 43:23
  show us that you can run an event
• 43:24
  safely and then maybe the following year
• 43:26
  you can kind of increase from there um
• 43:29
  what people can do that's that's what what
• 43:31
  came to mind for me so the diving
• 43:34
  thing for safety makes all the sense in
• 43:36
  the world to me
• 43:39
  because I don't know how shallow or deep
• 43:41
  the water is.
• 43:43
  And if they're getting out on both sides
• 43:44
  or one side,
• 43:45
  we don't know any of those details.
• 43:48
  So diving I get.
• 43:50
  When I first started swimming,
• 43:52
  the starting blocks were in the shallow
• 43:54
  end of the pool.
• 43:57
  And then the mandate came down for safety
• 43:59
  to move them all to the deep ends
• 44:01
  of the pools.
• 44:02
  So every pool had to move the starting
• 44:04
  blocks.
• 44:05
  around to the deep end.
• 44:07
  So I get,
• 44:08
  because I think when I was at Legends,
• 44:10
  when you were there, Jamie,
• 44:12
  that was a shallow end of the pool
• 44:13
  that everybody was diving in on.
• 44:19
  You would get out,
• 44:20
  do the kettlebell or the dumbbell,
• 44:22
  whatever it was.
• 44:23
  It was deep there.
• 44:24
  Like, I'm not even sure I could touch.
• 44:27
  Yeah, but you're only four foot two.
• 44:29
  Fair.
• 44:36
  Anyway, by the way,
• 44:40
  Dave still has time to self-correct the
• 44:42
  course of this swimming event.
• 44:44
  He just has to listen.
• 44:46
  I think we just need to be thankful
• 44:48
  that we are getting swimming at all.
• 44:51
  At the end of the day,
• 44:52
  Lucy Campbell's going to win.
• 44:55
  And Ty Jenkins is going to be up
• 44:56
  towards the front.
• 44:57
  And there's going to be one or two
• 44:59
  other swimmers that are in the mix.
• 45:01
  And everybody else is going to be fighting
• 45:03
  for those other medium spots.
• 45:06
  It's one event.
• 45:08
  And if the safety team said not to
• 45:11
  do it, I don't want to.
• 45:15
  I get it.
• 45:17
  If it changes how much they had to
• 45:19
  pay in insurance, I get it.
• 45:21
  But just to say it gives a competitive
• 45:23
  advantage is not a good reason to give.
• 45:29
  I would rather them say, hey,
• 45:30
  it's for safety reasons.
• 45:31
  I agree.
• 45:32
  Or hey, it's for insurance reasons.
• 45:34
  Right.
• 45:35
  I'm surprised that he's pushing that
• 45:37
  angle.
• 45:37
  Because if that is the only reason,
• 45:39
  that is weird.
• 45:42
  I mean,
• 45:42
  I feel like we're trying to give him
• 45:43
  the benefit of the doubt that it's a
• 45:44
  safety thing.
• 45:45
  And I think he should just play into
• 45:46
  that.
• 45:46
  Like, hey, we have swimming back.
• 45:48
  This is where we're starting.
• 45:49
  This is how we're starting it.
• 45:53
  And we're going to pray that everything
• 45:54
  goes smooth so we can amp it up
• 45:57
  next year.
• 46:01
  At least someone from Australia is
• 46:02
  probably good,
• 46:03
  and some unknown will have secretly been a
• 46:06
  D-I swimmer.
• 46:08
  Probably.
• 46:10
  But I did learn that just because you're
• 46:11
  from Australia doesn't mean you're a good
• 46:12
  swimmer.
• 46:13
  It's only people from a certain area of
• 46:15
  Australia.
• 46:22
  Hey, we just brought it back,
• 46:23
  so we want a good test safely.
• 46:25
  Agreed.
• 46:26
  If they would have said that,
• 46:28
  I'd be okay with it.
• 46:30
  But if you had something on ice and
• 46:33
  said, well,
• 46:34
  Carolyn can't use her own skates because
• 46:38
  that's an advantage, it's dumb.
• 46:43
  Yeah.
• 46:44
  I mean, I still think like,
• 46:45
  if you did that,
• 46:45
  like you can't use your own skates,
• 46:47
  everyone has used the same skates.
• 46:49
  The best skaters will still win
• 46:50
  regardless.
• 46:51
  It just takes away the advantage that you
• 46:53
  have.
• 46:57
  Um,
• 47:01
  I mean,
• 47:01
  the one year they gave us fins to
• 47:04
  swim, that only helped the good swimmers.
• 47:07
  It did not help me.
• 47:08
  I was still, I think,
• 47:09
  last out of the water.
• 47:11
  One of the last ones out of the
• 47:12
  water because I didn't know how to
• 47:14
  properly use them.
• 47:18
  Fergie, this is a misnomer.
• 47:20
  The Aussies don't all do the ocean rescue
• 47:22
  program.
• 47:23
  I learned this through the Dave Castro
• 47:24
  interviews.
• 47:26
  It's only people from a certain area of
• 47:28
  Australia.
• 47:29
  Ellie Turner is not a good swimmer and
• 47:31
  never did the rescue thing.
• 47:34
  And I think there was another person that
• 47:37
  talked about, Bailey Martin maybe,
• 47:40
  talked about not being from that area as
• 47:41
  well.
• 47:46
  It was also weird because Bailey seems
• 47:48
  like he's not real tight with Jay Crouch
• 47:49
  and Ricky.
• 47:52
  I think they're just from different areas
• 47:54
  of Australia.
• 47:54
  Yeah.
• 47:55
  It'd be like being from California and
• 47:57
  Ohio.
• 47:59
  You never see each other.
• 48:00
  You never run into each other.
• 48:06
  Ellie looks like she sinks like a rock.
• 48:08
  Well,
• 48:08
  muscle sinks like that is a known thing.
• 48:14
  So a lot of these CrossFit athletes are
• 48:16
  going to have an issue with sinking.
• 48:21
  I would take Carolyn over Bailey in a
• 48:23
  swim event.
• 48:24
  You sure about that?
• 48:26
  I don't know about that.
• 48:27
  They may want to fit.
• 48:29
  Rethink that of air.
• 48:29
  I don't think you've seen me swim before.
• 48:35
  Fergie says Canadian should get a two
• 48:37
  second headstart swimming.
• 48:39
  Not enough.
• 48:41
  Pat and Carolyn need at least ten seconds.
• 48:48
  So what are what is the Chrome?
• 48:50
  Yeah, I don't.
• 48:50
  Yeah, I think she's decent.
• 48:59
  She was good at WFP, right?
• 49:01
  I don't remember where she finished in
• 49:04
  that.
• 49:05
  I think so.
• 49:08
  What is your favorite tidbit that's been
• 49:10
  dropped?
• 49:23
  Maybe the snail or the pig.
• 49:25
  I like seeing those.
• 49:25
  Carolyn,
• 49:26
  do you have a favorite crumb that's been
• 49:30
  dropped?
• 49:38
  Not really,
• 49:39
  but I just like in the interviews when
• 49:41
  he said to like,
• 49:42
  plenty of people will have opportunities
• 49:43
  to shine in terms of like maybe some
• 49:48
  I don't know,
• 49:48
  explosive things or athletic things.
• 49:51
  So I'm very curious on what those are.
• 49:53
  Um,
• 49:54
  that's what gets me a little bit more
• 49:56
  excited about the stuff.
• 49:58
  Um, but then just seeing, I don't know,
• 50:00
  a regular bike, uh,
• 50:03
  that I've always liked the pig.
• 50:06
  I grew up in hockey doing a lot
• 50:08
  of like, tire flips and stuff like that,
• 50:10
  which is like the same leg drive
• 50:11
  technique.
• 50:13
  So I like that I've never had the
• 50:14
  opportunity to try the snail.
• 50:15
  It looks horrible.
• 50:17
  But yeah, excited for that.
• 50:19
  Those kind of cool implements to be added.
• 50:23
  What I love about the snail is it's
• 50:24
  like slow motion excitement.
• 50:27
  Like everybody's trying to get to that
• 50:29
  finish line.
• 50:30
  And it's just going like so slow.
• 50:38
  And there was like,
• 50:39
  there was a team event where it came
• 50:42
  down like the last five meters and people
• 50:46
  got overtaken in those last five meters.
• 50:48
  It was brilliant.
• 50:53
  Favorite tidbit,
• 50:54
  Dave saying several events on one day will
• 50:57
  be instantaneous,
• 50:58
  meaning quick like a softball throw.
• 51:02
  I don't think we're getting a softball
• 51:03
  throw.
• 51:05
  I don't know.
• 51:05
  That doesn't really excite me.
• 51:09
  The throw I want is the med ball.
• 51:12
  Who do you want to see throw?
• 51:23
  I just said,
• 51:23
  I want to see people throw in general.
• 51:25
  Cause a lot of the people that I've
• 51:27
  watched online don't look like they can
• 51:29
  throw ball or have thrown many balls
• 51:32
  before.
• 51:35
  I'd mentioned earlier in the week that I
• 51:37
  wanted to see the med ball GHD throw.
• 51:41
  And then someone sent me the reel of
• 51:43
  that event.
• 51:44
  It was really a cool event.
• 51:51
  I'd like to do the,
• 51:53
  that sandbag toss over like the,
• 51:58
  like the strong man stuff.
• 51:58
  Like Rogue has that sandbag.
• 52:01
  I'd like to see something like that for
• 52:03
  some explosive power.
• 52:05
  I don't know how hype plays it.
• 52:07
  I think hype would play a little bit
• 52:08
  of an advantage though on that.
• 52:12
  But it is what it is.
• 52:13
  I think that would be cool.
• 52:17
  Tyson Bajan is going to be there.
• 52:19
  Maybe they're throwing a football.
• 52:23
  I did double check.
• 52:24
  Camp starts on Sunday.
• 52:26
  Yeah, I was going to text you that.
• 52:28
  I had looked at that too.
• 52:29
  So he is available Wednesday through
• 52:32
  Saturday.
• 52:35
  And actually first practice isn't even
• 52:36
  until Monday.
• 52:38
  So he just has to get there Sunday
• 52:39
  night.
• 52:40
  Yeah.
• 52:40
  It was like first year,
• 52:42
  like all the rookies are start on like
• 52:44
  Wednesday or something, but that was it.
• 52:47
  I was like, oh yeah,
• 52:49
  he won't be needed until,
• 52:50
  and he's not allowed to go to those.
• 52:51
  He tries,
• 52:53
  like I've heard him say in interviews,
• 52:55
  he tried,
• 52:55
  he wants to be at all the practices
• 52:57
  to just soak in everything.
• 52:59
  Yeah.
• 53:00
  But he is like,
• 53:01
  like not allowed by the NFL to be
• 53:03
  at those practices.
• 53:07
  No better place to take your mind off
• 53:09
  it than the CrossFit Games.
• 53:11
  Indiana Bear Star.
• 53:18
  Probably never happen.
• 53:21
  And if it does, I don't even care.
• 53:24
  I don't live there.
• 53:26
  And hey,
• 53:27
  I talked to Eric Mackey this week.
• 53:29
  I have my Packer tickets all lined up.
• 53:32
  Packers Bears, week five.
• 53:34
  Front row end zone because of my guy,
• 53:37
  Eric Mackey, the man.
• 53:41
  I am so excited for that.
• 53:47
  I hope it's football.
• 53:50
  If you think people are bad at throwing
• 53:52
  a softball,
• 53:54
  football is way more complicated than
• 54:00
  way more complicated would it be for
• 54:04
  distance or for accuracy would there be
• 54:06
  like a little circle it would have to
• 54:08
  be for distance distance just get it out
• 54:10
  there well you couldn't have it for
• 54:13
  accuracy because jason hopper would have
• 54:15
  an advantage and we can't allow the former
• 54:18
  college football player to have an
• 54:19
  advantage would the roll count or would
• 54:23
  they mark it right where it hits
• 54:26
  would have to be where it hits i
• 54:27
  in my opinion that's what track and field
• 54:29
  does right wherever your discus or shot
• 54:33
  put lands you don't get the roll or
• 54:36
  the or whatever uh travels less far so
• 54:46
  it won't look as bad but when they
• 54:50
  throw larry when they throw the duck
• 54:53
  that it's like spinning sideways or
• 54:57
  instead of a spiral it's gonna look so
• 54:59
  bad so bad it would look horrible ricky
• 55:07
  could surprise you with some aussie roll
• 55:09
  skill he could
• 55:15
  And really football is an American sport.
• 55:17
  So it would be kind of a disadvantage
• 55:19
  to the world to throw a football because
• 55:22
  even though Australia has Australian
• 55:25
  rules, football and rugby,
• 55:26
  the balls are different shapes and sizes.
• 55:30
  So.
• 55:33
  And you throw it differently too.
• 55:35
  Right.
• 55:44
  Wobbling.
• 55:45
  Yeah.
• 55:48
  I mean,
• 55:50
  they don't want the athletes to look bad,
• 55:52
  right?
• 55:54
  Are you sure about that?
• 55:55
  There are things that they do that I
• 55:56
  really question that.
• 55:59
  At the games,
• 56:00
  you think there are things that have made
• 56:01
  the athletes look bad?
• 56:03
  I think they are not showcasing.
• 56:05
  You cannot put the masters.
• 56:07
  We all have our thoughts about the masters
• 56:09
  programming.
• 56:10
  You think the crossover Dumbledore's made
• 56:12
  us look awesome?
• 56:15
  I'm not saying – oh,
• 56:17
  you're saying at the elites.
• 56:18
  Yeah, even at the elites, yes.
• 56:20
  Yeah,
• 56:20
  but look how good people are at crossover
• 56:22
  double-unders now.
• 56:27
  And that's another point of why would you
• 56:29
  restrict athletes.
• 56:31
  Nick Matthew and Daniel Brandon could kill
• 56:33
  them.
• 56:34
  Why should they be penalized because they
• 56:35
  were good at crossover double-unders?
• 56:38
  What made the athletes look silly were the
• 56:40
  single-unders.
• 56:41
  That too,
• 56:43
  when they first did the freestanding
• 56:44
  handstand pushup, it didn't look awesome.
• 56:49
  Yep,
• 56:50
  ring handstand pushups didn't look
• 56:51
  awesome.
• 56:53
  Yeah,
• 56:54
  that is my least favorite workout ever
• 56:56
  from the CrossFit Games.
• 57:00
  By far, least favorite.
• 57:01
  I think Dave said at one point,
• 57:03
  maybe years ago,
• 57:05
  that he didn't like the standard that they
• 57:07
  came up with on that ring handstand
• 57:08
  pushups,
• 57:09
  and he wasn't sure that they would ever
• 57:10
  see that again.
• 57:12
  Good.
• 57:16
  I don't ever want to see it again.
• 57:18
  I thought that would...
• 57:19
  And it was so high and like...
• 57:23
  You know,
• 57:23
  Kipping It Real had a meme this week
• 57:25
  where all the different events that Dave
• 57:27
  comes up with, they're like,
• 57:29
  what about the athlete safety?
• 57:30
  F them.
• 57:31
  We're going to bury them.
• 57:32
  Like, boom, boom.
• 57:34
  And then they're like, hey,
• 57:35
  we're going in the swim.
• 57:36
  Hey,
• 57:36
  we need to make sure that they don't
• 57:37
  dive.
• 57:38
  We need to make sure that they don't
• 57:39
  do flips.
• 57:42
  And then the next event, hey,
• 57:44
  we're going upside down,
• 57:46
  fifty meters in the air.
• 57:48
  Oh, F them.
• 57:48
  Let's bury them.
• 57:51
  It was a great meme.
• 57:52
  It was a great meme.
• 57:59
  The best metaphor I heard was not letting
• 58:00
  gymnasts glide.
• 58:01
  Kip is the same as flip turn.
• 58:03
  Gymnasts are still good.
• 58:04
  I don't know how I feel about that.
• 58:15
  um the good swimmers are going to win
• 58:18
  regardless if it's a and dave did say
• 58:21
  swimming will matter this time unlike the
• 58:25
  ski erg swim yeah so
• 58:31
  As long as swimming matters,
• 58:33
  the good swimmers are going to win
• 58:34
  regardless.
• 58:35
  I just think it's a stupid rule with
• 58:36
  the flip turn because it'll sort out the
• 58:39
  good people and the bad people.
• 58:41
  And if you're not good at it,
• 58:42
  you shouldn't be trying it anyway.
• 58:43
  I agree.
• 58:45
  And you should be penalized for a dumb
• 58:46
  decision if you try it.
• 58:53
  I just like that the first event of
• 58:55
  the games is not a long distance run,
• 59:00
  roll, whatever,
• 59:02
  because you always give the advantage to
• 59:04
  the same athletes to start the weekend
• 59:06
  with some confidence with a leader's
• 59:07
  jersey or just like doing well on the
• 59:09
  leaderboard.
• 59:09
  Like this is a straight up CrossFit event
• 59:12
  to do the first workout.
• 59:13
  And I think it's going to allow different
• 59:14
  people to start their weekend off with
• 59:17
  good momentum.
• 59:18
  And that's like the games is a long
• 59:20
  test, but it's a head game.
• 59:22
  Like there's so much mental component to
• 59:24
  staying in it and being confident.
• 59:26
  And when you start off being like dead
• 59:28
  last or like close to the back end,
• 59:30
  it can really affect the rest of your
• 59:32
  day or weekend.
• 59:32
  So I'm excited that it's something
• 59:35
  CrossFit to start.
• 59:37
  Like I know swimming is going to be
• 59:38
  most likely I think on the Wednesday,
• 59:39
  but maybe later on.
• 59:41
  So you're saying Pat, it's Pat's here.
• 59:43
  Is that what you're saying?
• 59:45
  Pat's here.
• 59:46
  Come on, Pat.
• 59:47
  Uncle Pat.
• 59:51
  Pat's that last team in the field of
• 59:54
  sixty-eight who thinks they have a shot
• 59:56
  against UConn in the finals.
• 1:00:01
  Pat's always going to bet on himself.
• 1:00:05
  I would love to see it, honestly.
• 1:00:07
  But my question to you is,
• 1:00:09
  we have sixty athletes going to do the
• 1:00:10
  original hopper.
• 1:00:14
  They now can butterfly.
• 1:00:15
  It's one hundred twenty five pull ups
• 1:00:16
  overall.
• 1:00:17
  It's what, six per round,
• 1:00:20
  thirty shouldered overhead.
• 1:00:23
  How many of the sixty athletes go
• 1:00:25
  unbroken?
• 1:00:29
  I don't I think especially for the females
• 1:00:31
  with it being eighty five pounds,
• 1:00:33
  it's just like if I were to do
• 1:00:34
  one hundred and twenty five for time,
• 1:00:36
  I'm not doing them in sets of twenty
• 1:00:37
  five.
• 1:00:38
  It's like I just don't know that that
• 1:00:39
  many are going to go,
• 1:00:40
  especially for the females,
• 1:00:42
  unbroken because that bar is even lighter
• 1:00:43
  for the females,
• 1:00:44
  which means they're going back even
• 1:00:45
  quicker to the bar and just doing sets
• 1:00:47
  of twenty fives.
• 1:00:48
  And I don't know that it's going to
• 1:00:50
  be worth it to do unbroken the whole
• 1:00:56
  time, at least for the females.
• 1:00:57
  I don't.
• 1:00:59
  I think for the men,
• 1:00:59
  a lot of them can and a lot
• 1:01:01
  of them maybe will.
• 1:01:02
  I think on the female side, less,
• 1:01:04
  less so.
• 1:01:04
  Yeah.
• 1:01:06
  Do you have a number just over under
• 1:01:08
  how many total athletes out of the city?
• 1:01:12
  I don't even think half the women will
• 1:01:14
  go unbroken.
• 1:01:18
  Yeah, I agree.
• 1:01:19
  Not half the women.
• 1:01:21
  I think the first three rounds you're
• 1:01:23
  going to see a lot of unbroken.
• 1:01:24
  I think that's the whole field.
• 1:01:28
  Twenty will not be in the whole field.
• 1:01:33
  But the thing is, is like,
• 1:01:34
  you can walk slowly.
• 1:01:36
  You can chalk up to go and do
• 1:01:38
  an unbroken set.
• 1:01:38
  It doesn't mean that that was any faster
• 1:01:40
  than someone that can jog,
• 1:01:42
  do a set of fifteen, come down,
• 1:01:43
  do a set of ten.
• 1:01:45
  Like if you're transitioning faster and
• 1:01:48
  hopping up on the bar,
• 1:01:48
  like it really doesn't mean much if you're
• 1:01:51
  going to wait around so that you can
• 1:01:52
  go unbroken.
• 1:01:54
  So like, can you go unbroken?
• 1:01:55
  Yes.
• 1:01:57
  Is it better?
• 1:01:58
  I don't know,
• 1:01:58
  because if you're able to push that
• 1:02:01
  transition,
• 1:02:04
  Well,
• 1:02:04
  Dave is Dave had tie on when that
• 1:02:07
  was announced and ties like everybody's
• 1:02:09
  going on broken.
• 1:02:11
  So that's why I wanted to ask you
• 1:02:12
  as athletes, I'm not saying,
• 1:02:15
  are they capable?
• 1:02:17
  I'm saying how many will go unbroken for
• 1:02:20
  that workout?
• 1:02:21
  Because I'm sure that some people have the
• 1:02:23
  strategy.
• 1:02:24
  It's with one quick break is better than
• 1:02:26
  going unbroken.
• 1:02:28
  A hundred percent.
• 1:02:29
  I think that's,
• 1:02:29
  what's going to end up happening.
• 1:02:31
  I think fewer will go unbroken than people
• 1:02:33
  think.
• 1:02:38
  I do think, yeah, I think they're capable.
• 1:02:40
  I don't.
• 1:02:43
  Daniel says, twenty-five plus men,
• 1:02:45
  fifteen-ish women.
• 1:02:49
  Ten to fifteen total, says Eric.
• 1:02:51
  Make an easy, quick break in later rounds.
• 1:02:53
  That's probably what it'll be.
• 1:02:55
  Ten to fifteen total people will go
• 1:02:56
  unbroken.
• 1:02:56
  That's what I think.
• 1:02:58
  Yeah.
• 1:03:00
  I just think that they're going to push
• 1:03:01
  the transition, hop on the bar quickly,
• 1:03:03
  come down, and then just continue.
• 1:03:07
  versus resting a little bit more so that
• 1:03:09
  they can go unbroken.
• 1:03:11
  Like, it's not a matter of,
• 1:03:12
  like you said, if they can do it,
• 1:03:14
  it's if that's the right strategy.
• 1:03:18
  So Ty said that in response to Dave,
• 1:03:20
  as it was announced,
• 1:03:22
  Tessa saying Quinn said the same thing.
• 1:03:25
  So that's why I'm putting it out there.
• 1:03:26
  Cause I, I just was like, I,
• 1:03:28
  and when they were saying that, I'm like,
• 1:03:30
  is that the smart way to go?
• 1:03:33
  Quinn said the same thing,
• 1:03:34
  like that people would just people can do
• 1:03:36
  it unbroken.
• 1:03:37
  People would go unbroken.
• 1:03:40
  Do you think that they're just like
• 1:03:42
  baiting there?
• 1:03:47
  Could could be baiting,
• 1:03:48
  but then if the transitions are long,
• 1:03:50
  then that actually helps to go unbroken.
• 1:03:53
  if the transition of where you moved your
• 1:03:55
  bar is closer to the rig,
• 1:03:57
  your ability to recover now gets like,
• 1:04:00
  you have to go back on the bar
• 1:04:01
  faster.
• 1:04:02
  But if,
• 1:04:02
  if you actually make that bar move up
• 1:04:05
  the floor more,
• 1:04:05
  that actually helps for the unbroken.
• 1:04:07
  So it really depends on the layout.
• 1:04:08
  If they go on the same type of
• 1:04:10
  flooring that they did before for the
• 1:04:11
  hopper, if they're going to,
• 1:04:13
  or like where they did the reloaded
• 1:04:16
  version,
• 1:04:16
  if it's going to be at the same
• 1:04:18
  pretty small moving forward,
• 1:04:22
  But, yeah,
• 1:04:22
  the further they increase the barbell,
• 1:04:25
  the more I think you would see unbroken.
• 1:04:30
  Shelly says it's the first workout,
• 1:04:31
  though.
• 1:04:31
  They're going to have a ton of adrenaline.
• 1:04:35
  That's where you have to be the smartest.
• 1:04:37
  Agreed.
• 1:04:42
  I'm sure they're all testing this one and
• 1:04:43
  figuring it out.
• 1:04:45
  So, I mean,
• 1:04:48
  this seems like one that Colton would have
• 1:04:50
  figured that out.
• 1:04:53
  Is it better to break once or even
• 1:04:55
  twice really quickly?
• 1:04:59
  Yeah.
• 1:05:00
  Especially if you're trying to run the
• 1:05:01
  transitions.
• 1:05:04
  It's also your time to make a statement
• 1:05:06
  to get in that last game.
• 1:05:07
  I mean,
• 1:05:13
  those bars are not the same as the
• 1:05:15
  ones that they normally go on Rogic if
• 1:05:17
  they're using the old bars that were
• 1:05:20
  there.
• 1:05:22
  How high are they?
• 1:05:24
  Those also impact the breaks that you'll
• 1:05:26
  want to make.
• 1:05:31
  I think you're going to get some people
• 1:05:33
  try to go unbroken because they want to
• 1:05:35
  get in that last heat as quickly as
• 1:05:37
  possible.
• 1:05:40
  And I don't know how they're seeding
• 1:05:41
  because the way people got there this year
• 1:05:44
  was all over the map.
• 1:05:46
  Are they going to draw them out of
• 1:05:47
  a hat to put them in heats?
• 1:05:50
  Or are they going to do it alphabetically
• 1:05:52
  like I heard some people do?
• 1:06:00
  Do we know if they're using the original
• 1:06:02
  rig?
• 1:06:04
  I don't even know.
• 1:06:05
  We don't even know where.
• 1:06:06
  True.
• 1:06:08
  We don't know if it's at the ranch,
• 1:06:10
  if it's at Morgan Hill,
• 1:06:12
  if it's at the Red Barn.
• 1:06:16
  Yeah, because like I said,
• 1:06:18
  if the height of it's different,
• 1:06:19
  like as a female athlete,
• 1:06:20
  if you have to jump very high every
• 1:06:22
  time,
• 1:06:22
  then you're looking to hold on to the
• 1:06:23
  bar longer because that extra jump or
• 1:06:27
  transition plays a role.
• 1:06:29
  So it depends on the layout a lot.
• 1:06:32
  I think will also matter for strategies.
• 1:06:35
  A good point by CrossFit.
• 1:06:36
  Dave didn't say we couldn't flip turn in
• 1:06:39
  that event.
• 1:06:44
  Last year's seeding was by open finish.
• 1:06:47
  That is correct because Tia had to go
• 1:06:50
  in the back of the run because of
• 1:06:53
  her open finish.
• 1:06:55
  I think that's a reasonable standard to
• 1:06:58
  use.
• 1:06:59
  Make the open matter again.
• 1:07:00
  Agree.
• 1:07:04
  There's other ways to make it matter even
• 1:07:06
  more, but we're not doing that.
• 1:07:13
  So we really only know one event,
• 1:07:14
  which is the original hopper.
• 1:07:17
  The rest are all just tidbits.
• 1:07:22
  We do know that the hopper,
• 1:07:24
  they're going to try to be transparent
• 1:07:25
  about it,
• 1:07:26
  and they're going to show what balls go
• 1:07:28
  into the hopper before they are.
• 1:07:33
  Nice.
• 1:07:34
  That's exciting.
• 1:07:37
  Dave said to Ariel that he doesn't want
• 1:07:39
  it to look rigged.
• 1:07:41
  So they want to show all the balls
• 1:07:44
  that go into the hopper to show that
• 1:07:46
  they are truly going to pull a workout
• 1:07:49
  out.
• 1:07:51
  Oh, my gosh.
• 1:07:53
  I see Bernie corrected it,
• 1:07:55
  but this is incredible.
• 1:07:58
  How about using open order proceeding?
• 1:08:01
  That's freaking genius.
• 1:08:03
  Yeah, I'm up in the three hundred level.
• 1:08:07
  know that's not what you meant but i
• 1:08:08
  like it and shoot that would make the
• 1:08:10
  open matter for well then you probably get
• 1:08:12
  more cheating yeah true because i want a
• 1:08:16
  close seat at the yeah at the games
• 1:08:21
  uh why would you want them to rig
• 1:08:25
  it kenneth then why even have it if
• 1:08:32
  you're gonna let them rig it then they
• 1:08:33
  just should write the workout
• 1:08:37
  Agreed.
• 1:08:38
  It should not be rigged.
• 1:08:39
  I'm excited to see how this plays out.
• 1:08:43
  I do not want them to rig it.
• 1:08:46
  They should use the accounting office of
• 1:08:48
  Ernst & Young like the draft that
• 1:08:50
  definitely wasn't fixed.
• 1:08:59
  Carolyn's hopping more than the Easter
• 1:09:01
  Bunny tonight.
• 1:09:03
  The internet here is always very bad.
• 1:09:06
  All right,
• 1:09:07
  so let's talk about he did say there
• 1:09:11
  was gonna be a handful of repeats.
• 1:09:13
  So a handful is at least five in
• 1:09:16
  one of the interviews that he did.
• 1:09:18
  He did.
• 1:09:19
  Do you like that many repeats?
• 1:09:24
  Okay, some but not too too many.
• 1:09:27
  Or maybe it was a handful of scores
• 1:09:29
  that were fifty points.
• 1:09:30
  I can't remember which one it was.
• 1:09:32
  He said a handful of repeats.
• 1:09:35
  Okay, yeah, that as well.
• 1:09:38
  We have one so far.
• 1:09:40
  To me,
• 1:09:42
  because he said there's going to be a
• 1:09:43
  handful of repeats and a lot of stuff
• 1:09:46
  that will look similar to what we've done
• 1:09:50
  but modified.
• 1:09:52
  My thing with the repeats is it all
• 1:09:54
  depends on what you're repeating.
• 1:09:57
  If you repeat strongman's fear,
• 1:09:59
  I'm all for it.
• 1:10:02
  But you repeat the ring muscle up,
• 1:10:05
  ring push up,
• 1:10:07
  Fiasco, not for it.
• 1:10:12
  So yeah.
• 1:10:16
  I just, I'm excited.
• 1:10:18
  But the fact that there's twenty events
• 1:10:20
  and we know one.
• 1:10:21
  We truly only know one even though all
• 1:10:23
  this little bit has been leaked out.
• 1:10:25
  I like that.
• 1:10:27
  I don't want them to know it.
• 1:10:28
  I don't want, like someone else said,
• 1:10:29
  I don't want them practicing this hopper
• 1:10:32
  repeat and figuring out the best strategy.
• 1:10:34
  I want to see...
• 1:10:36
  gets tied up into trying to you know
• 1:10:39
  like now they know what to do they
• 1:10:41
  know exactly how to get the best time
• 1:10:42
  i don't love that i don't mind like
• 1:10:46
  one or two of those where you everybody
• 1:10:49
  is at their best and they all come
• 1:10:51
  at and you see who's the best but
• 1:10:54
  i do like the surprise and you have
• 1:10:55
  to figure it out on the fly i
• 1:10:57
  think it should be a combination of
• 1:10:59
  everything
• 1:11:03
  I'm okay if they repeat the wheelbarrow.
• 1:11:05
  I don't know where you would do it
• 1:11:06
  because we don't have the tennis stadium
• 1:11:08
  anymore.
• 1:11:09
  But as long as they don't buy it
• 1:11:11
  at Home Depot before the games.
• 1:11:20
  That everyone is talking about these
• 1:11:21
  mysteries is a win of itself.
• 1:11:23
  Yes.
• 1:11:23
  Yes.
• 1:11:28
  I want to see some struggling and figuring
• 1:11:29
  it out.
• 1:11:29
  I want to see some too,
• 1:11:31
  but it doesn't have to be all twenty
• 1:11:32
  events.
• 1:11:36
  Like if you're going to bring back the
• 1:11:37
  softball throw,
• 1:11:39
  let people practice a little bit.
• 1:11:41
  Because even with two weeks of practice,
• 1:11:43
  they're not going to get to where the
• 1:11:47
  best throwers are.
• 1:11:54
  Wheelbarrow down Barack Obama.
• 1:11:59
  Haven't had a lot of mentions about Barack
• 1:12:01
  Obama this week on the interviews.
• 1:12:07
  But he did say some of the stuff
• 1:12:09
  at the venue were going to be outside.
• 1:12:14
  So that too.
• 1:12:17
  So before we head out for the night,
• 1:12:19
  there's also the WFP Tour Stop II
• 1:12:22
  qualifiers going on as we speak.
• 1:12:29
  Our very own Carolyn,
• 1:12:31
  is she still planning on doing them?
• 1:12:36
  Yeah,
• 1:12:36
  I did all three of them yesterday just
• 1:12:40
  to finish them up.
• 1:12:43
  Just because I want to get to just
• 1:12:44
  regular training.
• 1:12:44
  I like that there was only three of
• 1:12:46
  them.
• 1:12:47
  Like versus having sometimes four or five
• 1:12:49
  or sometimes people even put six qualifier
• 1:12:52
  work.
• 1:12:52
  And it's like just three, great.
• 1:12:56
  So I did all three of them yesterday.
• 1:12:58
  I might redo this one.
• 1:12:59
  I did terrible on this one.
• 1:13:03
  So total minute AMRAP, thirty thrusters,
• 1:13:05
  thirty pull-ups.
• 1:13:06
  I know I like this combo quite a
• 1:13:07
  bit.
• 1:13:11
  Twenty-five thrusters, thirty pull-ups.
• 1:13:12
  That was also a third one I did
• 1:13:13
  yesterday.
• 1:13:14
  Twenty thrusters, thirty pull-ups.
• 1:13:17
  And then AMRAP thrusters for the remaining
• 1:13:19
  time.
• 1:13:20
  Do you like AMRAPs for qualifiers?
• 1:13:25
  Yeah, they're fine.
• 1:13:27
  In a version like this,
• 1:13:28
  this would be a good open or quarterfinal
• 1:13:30
  workout, even.
• 1:13:32
  You know,
• 1:13:33
  increasing weight and then the strong
• 1:13:36
  people.
• 1:13:37
  You also have to be fit to make
• 1:13:38
  it far.
• 1:13:42
  I thought this was a good workout.
• 1:13:44
  Two is thirty deadlifts,
• 1:13:46
  sixty forty-eight calorie row,
• 1:13:48
  thirty deadlifts.
• 1:13:49
  Really?
• 1:13:49
  Carolyn, do you like this workout?
• 1:13:52
  That was the first one I did.
• 1:13:53
  This one was pretty good for me.
• 1:14:00
  And then ten rounds for time,
• 1:14:01
  fifteen GHDs,
• 1:14:03
  nine strict handstand pushups,
• 1:14:05
  three and two rope climb.
• 1:14:07
  I love this workout.
• 1:14:10
  I'm just not fast on like GHDs and
• 1:14:13
  even strict handstand pushups.
• 1:14:14
  Like my cycle is just not fast,
• 1:14:17
  but it was fun to do.
• 1:14:20
  Yeah.
• 1:14:20
  So I did, I did number two,
• 1:14:22
  then number three.
• 1:14:23
  And then I finished with the thruster pull
• 1:14:25
  up one.
• 1:14:27
  My legs are really sore today.
• 1:14:29
  And that's day two.
• 1:14:31
  Cause yesterday they were a little bit
• 1:14:32
  sore and they're more sore today.
• 1:14:34
  I think it was all just from the
• 1:14:35
  thrusters.
• 1:14:37
  And so your goal was to get them
• 1:14:38
  out of the way as soon as possible
• 1:14:40
  so you could get back to games training?
• 1:14:43
  Yeah.
• 1:14:44
  Which is so different this year,
• 1:14:46
  training for the games,
• 1:14:47
  because in the past,
• 1:14:49
  when I'm training for the games,
• 1:14:50
  I'm training kind of like these other
• 1:14:51
  games athletes where you're doing a lot of
• 1:14:53
  field work stuff.
• 1:14:53
  You're doing a lot of odd object,
• 1:14:56
  yokes and sandbags and this and that and
• 1:14:58
  pirouettes and everything that you can
• 1:15:00
  think of.
• 1:15:02
  But I'm like, masters is not like that.
• 1:15:05
  Like,
• 1:15:05
  I don't think we'll see much of that
• 1:15:07
  at all.
• 1:15:09
  So it's not as fun, I guess,
• 1:15:13
  training for the masters as it was as
• 1:15:17
  an individual.
• 1:15:18
  Like,
• 1:15:18
  there's just so many more things that
• 1:15:19
  they'll test the individuals that they
• 1:15:21
  just won't do the masters because you have
• 1:15:23
  to do a workout and kind of trickle
• 1:15:25
  down to all the divisions.
• 1:15:27
  So there's only so many cool things you
• 1:15:30
  can do.
• 1:15:32
  So let me ask you this.
• 1:15:33
  Dave asked Ariel if she was going to
• 1:15:35
  go into the Masters division when she got
• 1:15:38
  the .
• 1:15:41
  And they talked about how in the early
• 1:15:43
  days, like Rich skipped it,
• 1:15:44
  Matt skipped it.
• 1:15:46
  A lot of those early athletes skipped it.
• 1:15:48
  And now all of a sudden,
• 1:15:50
  we're getting a resurgence.
• 1:15:51
  Like last year, Graham Holmberg did it.
• 1:15:53
  Scott Pancheck did it.
• 1:15:54
  He's doing it again this year.
• 1:15:57
  You have Noah Olsen and Travis Mayer
• 1:15:58
  joining.
• 1:16:00
  And that's just on the men's side.
• 1:16:04
  You got Mackenzie Riley and Carolyn and
• 1:16:08
  Kelly Clark and a lot of athletes doing
• 1:16:10
  it on the women's side as well.
• 1:16:15
  Do you think that there's a lack of
• 1:16:16
  participation because the...
• 1:16:22
  the Masters events are not the cool events
• 1:16:26
  that you got to do when you were
• 1:16:28
  an elite.
• 1:16:29
  Like,
• 1:16:30
  it's no different than going and doing
• 1:16:32
  Wadapalooza or Crash Crucible or any other
• 1:16:37
  – or MFC during the year.
• 1:16:41
  The games don't have those special –
• 1:16:45
  toys to play with or the special things
• 1:16:49
  to make it that step up in that
• 1:16:51
  spectacle for the masters athletes.
• 1:16:56
  I mean,
• 1:16:56
  I think that's a new phenomenon is the
• 1:16:58
  problem.
• 1:16:58
  I think they're,
• 1:17:00
  they're shooting themselves in the foot
• 1:17:01
  with the way they split us off.
• 1:17:03
  Cause that wasn't the case.
• 1:17:04
  Like at three, they got to do that.
• 1:17:06
  Jerry can carry like they,
• 1:17:09
  they used to take, it used to.
• 1:17:11
  Yeah.
• 1:17:11
  Like in Madison.
• 1:17:12
  Yes.
• 1:17:13
  On the North park.
• 1:17:17
  It was different.
• 1:17:18
  It was different.
• 1:17:20
  And there was a little bit more
• 1:17:22
  cohesiveness within the programming.
• 1:17:25
  because it was all from the CrossFit Games
• 1:17:28
  team.
• 1:17:29
  Now they've kind of outsourced that
• 1:17:31
  programming and it's in a different venue.
• 1:17:33
  They can have completely different tests.
• 1:17:35
  I mean,
• 1:17:36
  we think that there's going to be a
• 1:17:37
  completely different test between the
• 1:17:38
  teenagers and the masters.
• 1:17:40
  So like this teenager test is testing for
• 1:17:44
  the fittest on earth.
• 1:17:44
  This master's different,
• 1:17:46
  completely different test is going to be
• 1:17:48
  our test of the fittest on earth.
• 1:17:50
  And then you have the individuals which
• 1:17:51
  have their tests.
• 1:17:52
  Like it's kind of,
• 1:17:55
  weird that it's not as cohesive.
• 1:18:02
  But I think the games when I was
• 1:18:04
  in Madison was a little bit more like
• 1:18:07
  they did have a little bit more cooler
• 1:18:08
  things like being outdoors for the masters
• 1:18:11
  and stuff.
• 1:18:13
  I'm just not sure we'll see that in
• 1:18:17
  San Jose.
• 1:18:20
  I hate the fact that it's being programmed
• 1:18:21
  by a separate entity.
• 1:18:23
  And there's no tie.
• 1:18:28
  And there's no tie to a story from
• 1:18:30
  the open forward.
• 1:18:33
  It's like you go along with the CrossFit
• 1:18:35
  storyline.
• 1:18:38
  As bad as it was this year,
• 1:18:39
  it was the CrossFit storyline.
• 1:18:41
  And then all of a sudden you veer
• 1:18:42
  off into a different book.
• 1:18:48
  You read the first ten chapters of The
• 1:18:51
  Martian and then you go finish Project
• 1:18:53
  Hail Mary.
• 1:18:57
  bringing us full circle back to the
• 1:18:58
  beginning of the show.
• 1:19:05
  Yeah.
• 1:19:06
  I mean, it's, yeah,
• 1:19:07
  it's like going and doing any legends or
• 1:19:10
  MFC or any camp.
• 1:19:11
  It's what's different here.
• 1:19:15
  I think it,
• 1:19:16
  I think it does take some of the
• 1:19:17
  appeal away.
• 1:19:19
  Andrew senses.
• 1:19:20
  I don't,
• 1:19:20
  I think Madison was the only time it
• 1:19:21
  was like that.
• 1:19:22
  I don't think the events were so on
• 1:19:23
  Carson.
• 1:19:24
  I disagree to us.
• 1:19:25
  They weren't identical,
• 1:19:27
  but you still had the age group athletes
• 1:19:30
  on the soccer stadium floor with the big
• 1:19:33
  transitions using some of the same
• 1:19:36
  apparatus is they did at,
• 1:19:39
  in the elite level,
• 1:19:40
  the stuff was already there.
• 1:19:42
  It's not a,
• 1:19:43
  it's not a new cost of money.
• 1:19:46
  because the items are already there.
• 1:19:49
  This year you had that opportunity because
• 1:19:52
  all of that equipment is already there.
• 1:19:55
  You're not shipping in anything new.
• 1:20:04
  It was similar in Carson Andrew tracking
• 1:20:06
  and the football field,
• 1:20:07
  but like toned down.
• 1:20:09
  Yeah.
• 1:20:10
  And I'm like,
• 1:20:12
  you ran the berm as a masters athlete
• 1:20:15
  or a teen athlete,
• 1:20:17
  just like the elite athletes.
• 1:20:21
  Yep.
• 1:20:22
  There it is.
• 1:20:23
  CrossFit.
• 1:20:24
  I think masters even ran the berm.
• 1:20:25
  They did.
• 1:20:28
  But there's the last couple of years it's
• 1:20:29
  been like inside a convention center and
• 1:20:32
  essentially not as creative or for the,
• 1:20:38
  for the event.
• 1:20:39
  So like when I'm training for the games
• 1:20:41
  right now, I'm,
• 1:20:42
  have that in mind i guess maybe we'll
• 1:20:44
  have some cool things i hope we have
• 1:20:45
  cool things but i just don't my
• 1:20:47
  expectations aren't to have those things
• 1:20:50
  that were like in madison for the masters
• 1:20:52
  or in carson but i could be wrong
• 1:20:55
  i hope i'm wrong so joey says i
• 1:21:01
  doubt bob and joe even know what might
• 1:21:03
  have access to because they're not looped
• 1:21:05
  in on the indie programming implements
• 1:21:08
  that's a problem huge huge problem
• 1:21:12
  And then Andrew says, Joey,
• 1:21:14
  they won't have access to the same
• 1:21:15
  equipment since they're in different
• 1:21:17
  venues.
• 1:21:18
  It is close enough that you don't have
• 1:21:20
  to ship it.
• 1:21:22
  If you truly wanted them to do a
• 1:21:25
  different version of the test,
• 1:21:28
  it's just down the street.
• 1:21:33
  My guess is they're not.
• 1:21:33
  Same ticket, everything.
• 1:21:39
  I know it's how age group would be
• 1:21:42
  like the teenagers have a completely
• 1:21:44
  different test than the masters.
• 1:21:45
  Like that to me is, is weird.
• 1:21:49
  Why is there a test of like,
• 1:21:51
  I get that the masters are not going
• 1:21:52
  to do events like the individuals.
• 1:21:54
  Do I think we should have some events
• 1:21:56
  that are similar or, you know,
• 1:21:58
  scaled down for masters?
• 1:21:59
  Sure.
• 1:22:01
  But like for the teenagers to have,
• 1:22:03
  let's say a completely different test of
• 1:22:05
  fitness than us, it's just weird.
• 1:22:09
  I'm assuming right now that they're
• 1:22:11
  completely different because they have
• 1:22:12
  been,
• 1:22:12
  or at least they were when they were
• 1:22:14
  in two different venues before.
• 1:22:16
  But like if the teenagers are getting
• 1:22:18
  their events sent out right now,
• 1:22:21
  you would assume that if masters were
• 1:22:23
  doing the same,
• 1:22:24
  we would also get tagged in on that.
• 1:22:26
  But so now I'm just like looking at
• 1:22:28
  what the events are and I'm just trying
• 1:22:30
  to see, okay, there's a skier.
• 1:22:31
  Okay.
• 1:22:31
  There's a, there's a row, you know,
• 1:22:34
  you're just kind of looking at,
• 1:22:36
  or the implements that are getting
• 1:22:38
  released for the teenagers,
• 1:22:39
  assuming because we're in the same venue,
• 1:22:41
  what we'll have access to.
• 1:22:43
  But it's just weird that we have a
• 1:22:46
  completely different test.
• 1:22:53
  I truly hate that.
• 1:23:01
  To me,
• 1:23:01
  if you're not going to run a coordinated
• 1:23:02
  games...
• 1:23:04
  then just let the Masters go do its
• 1:23:06
  own thing.
• 1:23:07
  Agreed.
• 1:23:08
  Through its own avenue.
• 1:23:10
  There's no connection anymore.
• 1:23:12
  Correct.
• 1:23:13
  And if that's the decision they make,
• 1:23:14
  then fine.
• 1:23:16
  Let it go all in and let everybody
• 1:23:19
  that is competing in that know the facts
• 1:23:21
  up front.
• 1:23:22
  Yeah, because you sold us on, oh,
• 1:23:24
  it's the twenty-eighth anniversary,
• 1:23:25
  we're going to all be back together.
• 1:23:28
  And then, no, just kidding.
• 1:23:31
  Because the seven hundred and fifty
• 1:23:34
  dollars that in the Masters athlete has to
• 1:23:36
  pay to compete for the whole season.
• 1:23:39
  It'd be nice to know ahead of time
• 1:23:40
  whether that is something they even wanted
• 1:23:43
  to participate in before that happens.
• 1:23:50
  I think what's missed by not doing it
• 1:23:52
  is do you remember how much fun when
• 1:23:54
  they did the swim ski and everybody did
• 1:23:58
  the same workout and you could look and
• 1:24:00
  see how
• 1:24:02
  if a forty-five-year-old beat an elite
• 1:24:05
  athlete.
• 1:24:08
  And that was really, really cool.
• 1:24:09
  Yeah.
• 1:24:13
  Yeah.
• 1:24:14
  That was awesome.
• 1:24:16
  And we've lost that completely.
• 1:24:17
  I didn't like that.
• 1:24:21
  I was like, darn,
• 1:24:22
  all these people are beating me.
• 1:24:27
  They weren't always different, Tristan.
• 1:24:31
  A lot of times it was a scaled
• 1:24:33
  version of something that the elites had
• 1:24:35
  done.
• 1:24:37
  And early, like, seventeen, eighteen,
• 1:24:39
  they were much more similar.
• 1:24:41
  Yeah.
• 1:24:44
  And the teenagers and the age group at
• 1:24:45
  least had the same test.
• 1:24:48
  Right.
• 1:24:49
  Like,
• 1:24:49
  I just think it's weird to not have
• 1:24:52
  the same test as the teenagers in a
• 1:24:56
  different scaled version, you know,
• 1:24:57
  the weights or whatnot.
• 1:24:58
  But like, it should be the same test.
• 1:25:01
  we're in the same venue.
• 1:25:01
  Like, why is that test or test?
• 1:25:03
  Like at the end of the weekend,
• 1:25:04
  you're going to look at it and be
• 1:25:05
  like, Oh,
• 1:25:05
  I wish we had that test of the,
• 1:25:07
  for the, our test of the fit,
• 1:25:08
  the fittest or vice versa.
• 1:25:11
  Right.
• 1:25:12
  Well, in every,
• 1:25:14
  they didn't do the same number of tests,
• 1:25:16
  which makes sense.
• 1:25:17
  Yeah.
• 1:25:18
  And they didn't do the,
• 1:25:20
  the workout may have been scaled for the
• 1:25:22
  masters divisions, which makes sense,
• 1:25:25
  but it still had the same look and
• 1:25:27
  feel when they did do the same.
• 1:25:30
  Um,
• 1:25:32
  So think they might have the Rhino
• 1:25:37
  machine?
• 1:25:38
  No.
• 1:25:39
  I am betting that Xenon probably made it
• 1:25:43
  an exclusive tool for their event with
• 1:25:46
  Rogue, a deal.
• 1:25:49
  I doubt that.
• 1:25:50
  I think if CrossFit wanted to use the
• 1:25:53
  Rhino machine, they could.
• 1:25:54
  I don't think that Xenon would have an
• 1:25:55
  exclusive.
• 1:25:58
  I bet you they do for a couple
• 1:26:00
  years.
• 1:26:02
  Why not?
• 1:26:03
  Rogue doesn't do that many CrossFit
• 1:26:05
  competitions.
• 1:26:06
  And they're a partner.
• 1:26:09
  They're an actual partner with Xenon.
• 1:26:11
  They're not a partner with the CrossFit
• 1:26:12
  Games.
• 1:26:14
  They're just a sponsor.
• 1:26:16
  But wouldn't that help them sell the Rhino
• 1:26:18
  even more?
• 1:26:18
  Like, to get even more eyes?
• 1:26:23
  I think making it...
• 1:26:27
  more scarce and and not everybody has them
• 1:26:31
  makes people if you want to do the
• 1:26:33
  rhino you got to come to a xenon
• 1:26:45
  i'm sure it'll be at their booth and
• 1:26:47
  maybe but i don't think that they'll use
• 1:26:50
  it yeah so
• 1:26:59
  But CrossFit,
• 1:27:00
  Rogue's saying that they're the, well,
• 1:27:02
  that's not what I wanted.
• 1:27:03
  Rogue is the official equipment provider,
• 1:27:06
  but Xenon, they are a financial partner.
• 1:27:12
  That's a whole different level.
• 1:27:18
  So, and I don't,
• 1:27:22
  from what I saw of it,
• 1:27:23
  I'm not sure it's a great test right
• 1:27:25
  now.
• 1:27:26
  think it needs they need to like make
• 1:27:28
  a a standard for it that's a little
• 1:27:31
  more clear um and so if if i'm
• 1:27:38
  the crossfit games i don't want the rhino
• 1:27:40
  right now work out the bugs and then
• 1:27:42
  we'll see about it in a year or
• 1:27:44
  two well
• 1:27:50
  That's all we got tonight, folks.
• 1:27:52
  Don't forget,
• 1:27:53
  any Super Chat goes to these lovely ladies
• 1:27:57
