Rogue Invitational Preview Show & CrossFit Semifinals Announced | THE SPIN · The Spin Podcast

• 0:33
  Welcome to the spin, John's dog. Right on that.
• 0:37
  Is the most well placed bark. We timed it.
• 0:40
  We timed it. I'm working on it.
• 0:42
  What is going on? This is weird.
• 0:44
  All right, that's better. I didn't even notice it.
• 0:48
  We are only 24 hours and 4 minutes late, so special edition
• 0:53
  of the spin. I had to move it.
• 0:57
  My son, your youngest son, had his first middle school
• 1:00
  basketball game last night, so. How?
• 1:02
  How did we do? He got got to play in the fourth
• 1:05
  quarter. OK.
• 1:07
  He scored two points. There we go, 2 assists. 2
• 1:10
  assists and he says 1 foul. I'm pretty sure it was 2 fouls.
• 1:18
  Haven't looked at the stout the box score yet.
• 1:20
  If you're not getting three, you're not even playing, Yeah.
• 1:22
  A little bit of hand checking the first time and then a little
• 1:24
  bit of bumping towards the the the sideline on the second, but
• 1:29
  no, it was good though. His team won by like it was like
• 1:32
  60 to 12 or something crazy so. Yeah.
• 1:36
  Oh, Bart's killing me. Sorry.
• 1:40
  What? What do you do?
• 1:42
  Yeah, I'm, I'm texting people, people wait, wait for everybody,
• 1:45
  dude. You talk.
• 1:46
  Shit about Hobart and he's like, oh, OK, all right.
• 1:51
  We're good. We're good in here.
• 1:53
  Hobart's Hobart's a friend. That's right, we do have some
• 1:56
  big shoes to live up to, Bob Marinara wants to know.
• 2:01
  Marinara. I'm here to see if John and
• 2:05
  Tyler are more entertaining than Brian and Hiller.
• 2:08
  Yeah, that that's a 100%. There was 1 entertaining person
• 2:11
  on that show and I don't know if you if you watched it.
• 2:14
  I made it through 75%. I, I, I went back, I made
• 2:18
  through 6 minutes and then I was like, all right, come on, like
• 2:21
  let's go back. Yeah, I, I will say doing, if
• 2:28
  nothing else, it showed doing it live makes a world of
• 2:34
  difference. Like having them talk in person
• 2:42
  is so much better. Like, I mean, our, our spin
• 2:45
  cast, when we're in person, we've had the opportunity to do
• 2:47
  it. We were down.
• 2:48
  We were down there in Wanapalooza that one time,
• 2:51
  Tyler, me and you were there. Like if there was a way we could
• 2:56
  do it, it'd be amazing because just the in person side makes
• 2:59
  things so much better. That's the way they should do
• 3:02
  it. Like at Waterpalooza this this
• 3:05
  year. Just like open a podcast booth.
• 3:08
  They do. They have it.
• 3:09
  I understand that, but like just allow, also make it where it's
• 3:13
  not fucking terrible. Like you can actually have a
• 3:17
  crowd as opposed to like, yeah, we're going to put you in a
• 3:19
  corner. There'll be a lot of people
• 3:20
  there and they put you in a corner, but like just open it up
• 3:24
  for like 1 hour slots. Like you can have it for an
• 3:26
  hour, an hour and a half. You know what?
• 3:28
  I. Mean, I think they've always
• 3:29
  done that but the problem is you're you're kind of you're at
• 3:34
  the mercy of yeah, you're at the mercy of their technical crew,
• 3:38
  which has been less than desired half the time so anyway, you.
• 3:44
  Started out, we'll run the technical.
• 3:46
  How you doing John? I'm good.
• 3:48
  I got done with the biking just in time, so you didn't have to
• 3:53
  see my spin show. So no offense to your spin show.
• 3:57
  Your spin show is better than my spin show.
• 3:58
  That's what I'm trying. People liked it.
• 4:00
  People liked it the what was it the spin cast we did and you
• 4:02
  were finish up your bike. Yeah everybody liked that.
• 4:05
  So don't don't be so hard on yourself.
• 4:08
  Big news if you look right below Tyler, a brand new sponsor King
• 4:14
  Kong bags. They are now a sponsor of the
• 4:17
  Spin King Kong. And no other bag has anything on
• 4:23
  King Kong. Dude, let me let me tell you, I
• 4:28
  I think it's maybe 2016 open. I worked with them to do some
• 4:31
  type of quick giveaway for the for like I can't remember what
• 4:35
  what it was. Anyway, they sent me a duffel
• 4:37
  bag and a backpack. It's that red backpack.
• 4:41
  You see me carry it every time I go to an event, which is like I
• 4:45
  still use it. My son that plays soccer stole
• 4:49
  my duffel bag. He has it right now at soccer
• 4:51
  practice and so that was nine years ago and you would not even
• 4:57
  know that it was nine years old. Like it is awesome.
• 5:02
  So yeah, King Kong bag, knkg.com.
• 5:11
  So check those guys out. I know Codespin should work, but
• 5:16

• 6:18
  about two months ago and she's very, very particular so.
• 6:23
  My wife actually has our mantis sleep.
• 6:25
  Just FYI. People wonder why I don't have

• 7:00
  We'll do some Rogue Invitational.
• 7:01
  John put out his stone cold picks.
• 7:04
  We'll see if I agree with those. I did my own little math.
• 7:07
  I did my own little spreadsheet, so we'll see if mine aligned
• 7:11
  with what you had to say. I'll.
• 7:13
  Just talk shit about your all's picks.
• 7:15
  You'll come up with your picks on the Heat One app at the last
• 7:17
  second and then wonder why you don't do well.

• 7:50
  on my face late this Friday evening.
• 7:52
  Thanks guys. I didn't know zone 1 was
• 7:55
  possible. Dude.
• 7:56
  It's it's next. He said slow.
• 7:59
  I wake up zone 3. You think zone 2 will change the
• 8:05
  game for you? Try zone 1.
• 8:07
  I mean you have to do it for like 6 hours for it to work but.
• 8:11
  I mean, essentially everybody on the planet does.
• 8:14
  Do zone. One for the for six hours,
• 8:16
  Tyler. That is very true.
• 8:21
  Kyle Dotson, can you start putting time stamps for each
• 8:24
  segment so that if people want to jump to a certain segment
• 8:28
  after the live is done, they can?
• 8:30
  That's Hobart's job. He's just not doing it.
• 8:33
  Yeah, Hobart, get on that. Yeah, put that in the comments.
• 8:38
  There's some. I I'll go find it for you, but I
• 8:42
  actually have a resting heart rate of like 52.
• 8:46
  My resting heart rate's like, really?
• 8:48
  Solid. I you would think I would be a
• 8:50
  better runner with with that, but I'm not but but I have like
• 8:56
  a really solid resting heart rate just.
• 8:59
  Didn't driver say his like sleeping resting heart rate is
• 9:02
  like 39 or something like that? I've gotten in the 30s and
• 9:05
  sleeping too. It's not every, it's not every
• 9:07
  night, but I've gotten in the 30s and sleeping.
• 9:10
  But I actually one time I was in at work and I was drinking a
• 9:15
  monster and it was like it was like 5 in the morning.
• 9:18
  We had to go in because it was snowing and my boss had a blood
• 9:22
  pressure cuff on her. And so I put it on and it said
• 9:25
  mine was like 40. And he was like, are you dead?
• 9:28
  He was like, you're drinking a monster.
• 9:29
  And she says it's like it was like 49.
• 9:32
  But he was like, that's the power of CrossFit.
• 9:34
  Yeah, it's. Like no, I'm almost dead.
• 9:37
  This is my fifth monster today. Condemned.
• 9:40
  Keeping it real $5. This is for Sprague, John Young,
• 9:43
  South America, Suriname. Paramaribo.
• 9:48
  Sounded confident. I feel like he he got it.
• 9:50
  Where, Where? Where?
• 9:52
  Is even Suriname? I don't think you guys are
• 9:55
  pronouncing her right. What is the?
• 9:58
  Capital of Sieriname. Do it.
• 10:00
  Well, how would you pronounce it there, John?
• 10:02
  Paramaribo Sierra. Leone, it said.
• 10:05
  I thought it's it thought I said Sierra, Sierra Leone.
• 10:09
  Well, it's Suriname. Suriname.
• 10:13
  Surname. Surname.
• 10:19
  I'm in fact, check me or not, I feel like come on.
• 10:24
  I don't know if I'm saying it right, but that's what it is.
• 10:29
  It's not. Capital para para maribo.
• 10:38
  Yeah, better check yourself, Melanie.
• 10:41
  Yeah, don't. Did you say that?
• 10:43
  Yeah, I said bare marimbo like 5 times.
• 10:46
  Like it's those little marimbo gummies that you eat.
• 10:49
  I didn't doubt you because you sounded confident whether
• 10:51
  that's. Right.
• 10:51
  It's the smallest country in South America.
• 10:55
  The name is Suriname, not Suriname.
• 10:58
  Suriname. Suriname.
• 11:00
  She's See. I was right when I said it.
• 11:02
  See. I don't if you.
• 11:04
  Say it Suriname you, you sound racist.
• 11:08
  Listen, I don't claim to say it right, I just claim that it's
• 11:12
  right. It's like Vietnam.
• 11:13
  It's on Vietnam A. Sorry, I am.
• 11:17
  Could be, yeah, I don't know. Anyway, we're.
• 11:22
  Not protesting my pronunciations, I've never
• 11:24
  claimed them from pronunciation. You can't get both expert.
• 11:28
  I guess I'll I'll Fast forward to this comment then, because if
• 11:32
  it fits better with the topic. Mission Bell 28 Thank goodness 3
• 11:39
  mega guys dismissed Seattle as too democratic and rainy in the
• 11:43
  summer. Three laughing emojis.
• 11:48
  Yeah 3. Their ignorance is Seattle's
• 11:50
  gain. We don't want you and your BS in
• 11:55
  the Pacific Northwest either. So.
• 11:58
  Who is? What was her name?
• 11:59
  Mission Bell 28. Listen, Mission Bell, I hope you
• 12:03
  have a lovely day. Thanks, John.
• 12:08
  You can get. You can get bent.
• 12:10
  But I hope you. I hope.
• 12:11
  You have a lovely day people. Get so upset.
• 12:14
  About I know, I know, I know. It's ridiculous.
• 12:19
  Craig felt sorry for JY last week going on about his food
• 12:23
  phobias and this week with his office having a makeover.
• 12:27
  Looks like you've kind of adapted to it.
• 12:28
  Don't. Feel sorry for me.
• 12:29
  I I have a very blessed life. You shouldn't feel sorry for me.
• 12:33
  Also, does the new hype thing affect anything?
• 12:36
  I think he's talk about the new hype button in YouTube.
• 12:38
  I don't know. Click it, see if we get to.
• 12:41
  I tried hyping something, I think it was one of Halers
• 12:44
  videos just to see what would happen.
• 12:46
  I mean, it probably gets us closer to 11,000 subscribers.
• 12:49
  It was that it was that behind the scenes video of us that
• 12:53
  Crash is talking shit that had terrible views that everyone
• 12:57
  should go watch because it's fucking amazing.
• 12:59
  But I hyped it just to see if it would help.
• 13:02
  I don't think it helped. I don't think it does anything,
• 13:04
  but it's it's worth a shot. Just makes you feel like you're
• 13:07
  playing. Yeah, play.
• 13:09
  Trend Balloon Buffalo. It's great username.
• 13:13
  First thing I thought. John looks fresh.
• 13:17
  Be thankful John wife did the right thing.
• 13:20
  So Trembolone Buffalo is a big fan of the the rearrangement.
• 13:24
  First off, he said I look fresh. He didn't say the the office
• 13:28
  looked. I think your setup you and your
• 13:30
  setup. OK, well all you can see is
• 13:32
  freaking window blinds. I don't even know how you can
• 13:37
  make a judgement. I don't know, Trembolone Buffalo
• 13:40
  definitely thinks you can. And finally.
• 13:42
  Parker is that Rich's burner account it.
• 13:47
  Could be, could be. It does look like a buff.
• 13:50
  You know it is a Buffalo, so. Yeah, or is he?
• 13:53
  He's, he's a bison guy, right? He calls him Bison.
• 13:56
  Is there a difference? I don't think technically yes,
• 13:58
  but we don't. I'm saying he calls him Bison
• 14:02
  doesn't. Sound like it sounds.
• 14:03
  It sounds more sophisticated. To say bison are technically
• 14:06
  what they are, the American Buffalo is pretty much extinct.
• 14:09
  OK, and Parker, I doubt the Rabdo this is Dallin was just
• 14:17
  because of the one event doing the games, the big W and Socal
• 14:23
  with the all out mono play event played a role.
• 14:31
  I think Killer's on the same page of that.
• 14:33
  If you've been watching John Woods takes, that's his opinion
• 14:37
  of it. I mean, it's a, it's a watching
• 14:43
  John Woods video on that was compelling.
• 14:50
  Yes, I I had not considered like the the well, how did John put
• 14:56
  it was the like? The.
• 14:59
  Aggregate fatigue of of all that on your on your nervous system
• 15:04
  and on your adrenal system. And I had not ever really
• 15:09
  considered that having an effect on Rabdo.
• 15:12
  It does make sense though. It makes sense.
• 15:15
  I don't know, dude, football players, I feel like yeah, go
• 15:19
  through over like, but it's more of like they're constantly hurt,
• 15:24
  but like not really hurt, but they're constantly feel
• 15:26
  terrible. I don't know if I doubt it would
• 15:29
  be the same thing with CrossFit Like and it's not every single
• 15:33
  week, but the body can do it. Yeah, I my initial take, like I
• 15:40
  it made sense, but the I guess I've always thought of it as
• 15:44
  like you have those like your adrenals go down and like you
• 15:48
  just start, you're just not performing as well as you could.
• 15:51
  Not that you would get rabbed for it unless maybe you just
• 15:56
  push like he's so able to push through the limits of his like
• 16:01
  what you think would be normal that maybe that's where it he
• 16:04
  doesn't slow down like most people.
• 16:06
  Would we need a Rabdo specialist?
• 16:08
  We have any doctors who can call in.
• 16:11
  I'm sure I don't know. You're sure you don't know?
• 16:16
  I like the take though. Did it?
• 16:18
  The the bodies are stacking up, or at least body parts people
• 16:23
  are. Dude WFP is their back filling
• 16:26
  something every day. Magnus Holmgren 50 Mexican
• 16:31
  pesos. I think that's probably like 2
• 16:33
  1/2 dollars. Regardless, thank you.
• 16:35
  Nigeria's real capital. It's a Abuja I'm pretty sure.
• 16:42
  I think Lagos used to be it and then it got replaced in nine in
• 16:47
  the 90s as Abuja. Unless there's like some
• 16:50
  Nigerian capital I don't know about.
• 16:54
  Brian G. Haven't been able to watch live
• 16:57
  last couple weeks but this is for me.
• 16:58
  Almost popping a stitch post nose surgery when MOB showed up
• 17:04
  on athlete mound Pete comedy. Yeah, look.
• 17:09
  Hey, there she is. I was just telling people how
• 17:12
  awesome the new office is, and I love it.
• 17:14
  That's that's what I was saying. OK, You go take Abby Grace for a
• 17:21
  while. All right?
• 17:24
  That's good. All right.
• 17:27
  Love you. That's good.
• 17:31
  Go ahead with the show, guys. All right, that's your comments.
• 17:35
  Capital of Rhodesia. Rhodesia.
• 17:39
  Yeah, I think we already did that one, didn't we?
• 17:40
  No, we ain't done Rhodesia. Why would we do that one?
• 17:45
  Nobody paid for that 10. That's a good point.
• 17:47
  We'll wait till somebody pays for it, John.
• 17:49
  Don't worry about it. Yeah, don't, don't answer.
• 17:51
  Yeah, you might have me because. I.
• 17:53
  Love another one's coming. Somebody coming?
• 17:55
  Let's pay for it and make it official.
• 17:58
  We're just going to get that. Semi final schedule.
• 18:04
  I don't OK. I don't know.
• 18:10
  We don't know. We lost yesterday, on Wednesday.
• 18:15
  CrossFit continues to release the news on the on the best day
• 18:19
  of the week. We now have, I guess basically
• 18:23
  the really the full schedule, at least for individuals and teams
• 18:29
  of next year's season and kicks off with the Mayhem Classic.
• 18:36
  Tennessee, Cookeville, TN. I guess first question, are you
• 18:40
  surprised that Mayhem is a semi final host?
• 18:45
  Yes. I am, I am surprised.
• 18:53
  Why do you If you're surprised, why do you think they ended up
• 18:57
  doing it? I don't know, I.
• 19:02
  Don't. I don't.
• 19:03
  Is that what Rich? Is that what Rich and Rich and
• 19:05
  Don talked about out there at the Coaches Congress?
• 19:13
  Ben Mcnees, 499, Rhodesia. Is this is, is is this Zimbabwe?
• 19:23
  Yeah, it is. Her rare.
• 19:27
  Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Hurrah, Ray.
• 19:32
  Because Rhodesia is not a country anymore.
• 19:35
  Yeah, no, I've, I got that. I'm like I there's no way that I
• 19:41
  don't know a country. And then I and Salisbury and
• 19:47
  then I Googled it and it's Zimbabwe, Rhodesia, Zimbabwe.
• 19:51
  And I was like, there we go. That's why I'm not now.
• 19:54
  Known as Ferrari, he's right. I'm not big on African history,
• 20:00
  when their state, their countries and states change so
• 20:03
  much anyway just cause of fighting it's hard to keep up
• 20:07
  with. If you need African history just
• 20:09
  check out just call Christian Holta and she will she will take
• 20:16
  care of you. Yeah, I, I, I have a conspiracy
• 20:19
  theory on Mayhem. Oh, I'd like to hear that.
• 20:22
  They actually haven't signed the deal and CrossFit quit playing
• 20:26
  their game and was like, we're just going to release it.
• 20:29
  And you have to back out. You got to back out.
• 20:35
  That would be a bold move. I don't.
• 20:37
  It'd be cool as shit too. Oh, Magnus.
• 20:40
  You got no that. Doesn't mean I can get the
• 20:43
  capital out faster than they can say the state.
• 20:46
  The that one cost you $600.00. It will if you want him to do
• 20:51
  that one. It cost you 600.
• 20:52
  Dollars I I'm serious. Or they can finish before they
• 20:55
  can finish the state. I can say the capital.
• 21:00
  But we'll never know but. We'll never know, yeah.
• 21:05
  Yeah, I don't know. I mean, I thought I was
• 21:07
  interesting about the whole disparaging disparagement clause
• 21:11
  that Castro brought up this past week in the Week in review.
• 21:15
  First, I was surprised he talked about it and then second of all,
• 21:23
  I'm really curious what the second point was that they
• 21:25
  talked about. But.
• 21:27
  Yeah, I, I think this little, this little bitch fight that him
• 21:32
  and Dave have going on is cute. Because like Dave. 100% did
• 21:39
  that, all calculated to kind of slap back it at Rich.
• 21:42
  For sure. It's.
• 21:45
  Cute. If Rich really does have a hand
• 21:47
  and like no, this person can't buy the company though, then
• 21:53
  who's in charge of who? No one's in charge.
• 21:56
  That's the beauty of CrossFit. It's owned by the community.
• 22:02
  We already own it. Well.
• 22:03
  Congratulations. Frank, you.
• 22:06
  Like it or not. Hey, what if, what if we just
• 22:08
  started going guys, John Wood had this great idea.
• 22:12
  What if we just gave CrossFit to the affiliates?
• 22:16
  I can't believe we haven't thought of this before.
• 22:18
  Dude, John Wood is a freaking genius.
• 22:22
  And like, and like, and then we have him on the show and we just
• 22:25
  hyped this up and I, I don't think.
• 22:28
  And then, and then we'd be like, Savon, have you met John?
• 22:32
  He's got this idea. And then he said he tells Savon
• 22:35
  7's like. Jesus Christ.
• 22:36
  That is amazing. I will.
• 22:38
  Introduce him with Don like. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 22:41
  We have lunch with Greg. I mean, it'd be great.
• 22:43
  So, John, what do you call your idea?
• 22:46
  I don't know, something not stupid like fucking protecting
• 22:49
  the goddamn trees. Yeah, would fit.
• 22:52
  And then all of a all of a sudden, all of a sudden John
• 22:56
  Wood is the new CEO of CrossFit. And you know what?
• 22:59
  With a beautiful idea. Congratulations, Sean Wood.
• 23:03
  And then we rename all of the bathrooms in HQ to Frank.
• 23:13
  I'm going to go. I'm going to go take a Frank.
• 23:15
  Take a Frank. Yeah.
• 23:17
  Where are you going? I'm going to go to Frank's.
• 23:19
  What is he really doing? I don't know.
• 23:20
  He could be meet having a meeting in there or taking a
• 23:23
  dump. I really don't know.
• 23:24
  Just going to Frank's, you know what I mean?
• 23:25
  Podcast, it's fine. Yeah.
• 23:27
  And then the women's women's restroom is Franket, Frank and
• 23:30
  Franket. We need to have a frank day once
• 23:34
  a year where we do the show from a bathroom.
• 23:38
  And then I mean, and if we're, you know, if you're in a woke
• 23:42
  state with a different type of bathroom, that's everybody.
• 23:45
  You call that one Francelina? Francelina.
• 23:48
  Yeah, it's a made-up name because it's made-up.
• 23:51
  Is that you get it? I like it.
• 23:54
  Lee Frazier, thank you. Appreciate the donation.
• 23:56
  Nope. Mayhem is CrossFit.
• 23:59
  If Rich and Dave could get on the same page, nothing good
• 24:03
  stops CrossFit from growing. Nothing good.
• 24:11
  I don't know. I'm not sure if I completely
• 24:14
  agree with that one. Not sure.
• 24:18
  Don't think about that. Anyway, back to Barcelona
• 24:24
  finals. Well, she said it again.
• 24:26
  She said it again. Is that 2?
• 24:28
  Nothing good stopped CrossFit. From I mean, she paid twice so I
• 24:31
  don't know. Yeah, it's the second one if.
• 24:34
  She said nothing could nothing. Could She mistyped?
• 24:37
  Nothing if Rich and Dave could get on the same page.
• 24:40
  Nothing good. Stops.
• 24:41
  Nothing could stop. CrossFit.
• 24:43
  Nothing could stop CrossFit anyway.
• 24:47
  Thank you, Lee. I definitely think it helps if
• 24:50
  they're they are working together for sure.
• 24:52
  I don't. I don't think separating would
• 24:55
  be the best for either party. And they've, they've had their
• 24:58
  qualms before. They, they, they have a really
• 25:02
  like, you know, like bad relationship, but like
• 25:09
  romantically where you just get back together and break up and
• 25:12
  get back together and break up. Yeah.
• 25:14
  Yeah, like. Reminds me of the other one that
• 25:18
  we've seen in Florida before. April 24th and 26th, the Legends
• 25:22
  Championship heading back to the Delmar Fairgrounds.
• 25:27
  Joe and Bob leading the charge on that one.
• 25:33
  I'm glad that we go ahead, Tyler.
• 25:35
  I'm glad we all care about certain things 'cause like,
• 25:39
  Hitler was losing his freaking mind about Joe and Bob and like,
• 25:42
  I think it's totally justified, but I could care less about
• 25:49
  like, fine, whatever. I do think it's weird that
• 25:51
  they're like, it could be at the Delmar Fairgrounds or not.
• 25:56
  Is that what Baz said? Yeah, Well, he's doesn't know
• 25:59
  he's talking. About well, Masters could be at
• 26:02
  the real games. We're not.
• 26:04
  Wait, what? It's what?
• 26:06
  Yeah, we'll get to that here in a second.
• 26:10
  The thelegends.legendscomp.com their their first page.
• 26:18
  Let's see if I can't get in here real quick.
• 26:22
  Delmar Arena right there on the website.
• 26:24
  So it is definitely so. It's definitely a Delmar.
• 26:28
  Got on there. I thought that was interesting
• 26:30
  that Bob's like. Delmar five times.
• 26:32
  Yeah, it's Delmar. Delmar.
• 26:35
  Everywhere is Delmar individuals and masters so.
• 26:42
  And by some miracle, if Tyler or I make semi finals, we will.
• 26:49
  This is the one we will be going to.
• 26:51
  Masters. No legends.
• 26:54
  As as a masters athlete. I know as an individual.
• 26:57
  You're going to be top 2000 in the world, John.
• 26:59
  One of us, me or Tyler, are. You going to combine your
• 27:03
  powers, OK. Do you know something?
• 27:07
  I don't know? I'm totally caught off guard
• 27:09
  here. You know, we're going to create
• 27:11
  a new being and we're going to take, we're going to take the
• 27:13
  best of our scores. I love.
• 27:15
  This and then, and then we're going to show up and if it's an
• 27:18
  event that you should do, you'll do it.
• 27:20
  If it's an event I should do, I'll do it.
• 27:21
  And then we'll just, you know, we'll be 1.
• 27:23
  I don't. Get fit or it's just going to be
• 27:25
  5 John scores. We might not make it bad, it's
• 27:31
  just I need you to come through. I've been murdering myself.
• 27:36
  I'm beating you and ring muscle at workouts.
• 27:38
  We're in trouble, man, I feel. An amount of shame I've not felt
• 27:41
  in years, like I've been hurting.
• 27:43
  Myself is that without your gym bag at yes that that we left it
• 27:49
  crash. Yeah, Jr. said.
• 27:50
  I guess it's been a good day, 10 days of training or whatever,
• 27:53
  and I'm like, I have just not even stopped.
• 27:55
  I've been using all Jeanette's equipment.
• 27:56
  I don't even care. There you go.
• 27:59
  I don't need equipment. I don't.
• 28:00
  Need anything? I'm Cole Sager, no grips.
• 28:04
  But The thing is, so didn't the masters do a podcast?
• 28:12
  When? About about the all of this.
• 28:17
  Well, Jason Grubb did a podcast, but he was he did the podcast
• 28:21
  with Mr. Magic City Games, right, Which I thought was weird
• 28:27
  because it was pre recorded and edited and came out an hour
• 28:30
  after the announcement came out. So I don't know how Jason shook
• 28:37
  out, but. Even though he's an athlete.
• 28:42
  He is an athlete. OK.
• 28:45
  Maybe he's just good at editing. Maybe he saw it at 11 and then.
• 28:47
  He's got a it's an AI. It's a bot that edits.
• 28:51
  For for the record, I didn't tell him I want that on.
• 28:56
  I want that on record. You guys have painted a picture
• 29:00
  that is not true. Now I have to defend myself
• 29:06
  every time something leaks out and people think it's.
• 29:11
  It might be you, yeah. May 1st through 3rd Copa sewer
• 29:16
  down there in Brazil, Far East throw down going back to Busan
• 29:20
  and the Magic City games which is age group only which I
• 29:25
  thought was interesting. Is interesting.
• 29:28
  I I why not just combined them? Combined to where?
• 29:37
  What? The the.
• 29:40
  The Masters. With other events.
• 29:43
  They did well. They.
• 29:44
  You do so. So Legends is kind of.
• 29:47
  It works the same way the individuals work.
• 29:49
  There are some by competitions that masters can go straight to
• 29:53
  the games from and then they have their in person exactly the
• 29:56
  way individuals work. Yeah, I don't think I'm that
• 30:01
  opposed to it. I mean, I, I just, it's
• 30:05
  interesting. I don't know anything about it.
• 30:07
  Like I haven't seen what the competition is.
• 30:09
  I guess it's he's done it two years in a row now and it was
• 30:12
  recommended to him. I don't know.
• 30:16
  So. I, I would, I would be
• 30:18
  interested to pull the, the masters and be like, hey, would
• 30:20
  you rather go to Birmingham and just it be masters or would you
• 30:25
  rather go to Knoxville? Maybe.
• 30:28
  Maybe Wilson didn't want to do age Group I if I was running it.
• 30:33
  If I was running, I would not want to host the masters.
• 30:36
  Why it's 18 different age or 18 different divisions?
• 30:42
  You had to change events. Like the the logistics is very
• 30:46
  difficult, like what you want to do for individuals and teams
• 30:51
  gets impacted by having to run 16,000 heats to just get through
• 30:55
  one event for the masters. I know Wilson takes pride in
• 31:01
  having a good team competition. Yeah, I mean, that's what one of
• 31:05
  wasn't one of his competitions like all team at one point like
• 31:09
  years ago. Yeah, I I just think it puts you
• 31:12
  in a corner. I mean that's, it's why like age
• 31:14
  group CrossFit games, like you can complain about the the
• 31:17
  workouts all you want, it's just, I don't know how you get
• 31:20
  through that many divisions without having short workouts,
• 31:26
  not having all the equipment. Like you have to keep everything
• 31:28
  pretty simple and basic for the games.
• 31:31
  I it just, I mean think about if you, if I told you, you had to
• 31:35
  do 6 more events with 18 divisions between men and women
• 31:42
  or something like that, or 1414 divisions, like how would, how
• 31:51
  would syndicate do that? It I, it doesn't really, I mean
• 31:57
  like, so they could do it. You could have teams like 'cause
• 32:00
  they had the one, they had the two floors, right?
• 32:03
  And they had teams mostly on the 2nd floor.
• 32:07
  You could just run teams and masters.
• 32:10
  You'd have to have a second. You'd have to have a second rig
• 32:12
  on that smaller floor. That's true too, right?
• 32:14
  Like. And yeah, you can move the
• 32:17
  individuals and teams to do that floor for an event if you could
• 32:20
  figure out how to to do it logistically, but you'd have to
• 32:24
  share that rig floor stage more than you would want to, to do
• 32:32
  what I think the individual athletes need fair like.
• 32:37
  And I, I just, I mean, it would be hard as an organized
• 32:40
  organizer. So like if I'm Wilson, I'm like,
• 32:43
  I, I don't want it. I don't know if you got the
• 32:44
  choice or not but I would be like no thanks.
• 32:47
  I don't want to do it, yeah. Like you could sell more tickets
• 32:50
  maybe we'll see how many people travel for that.
• 32:53
  Like how well does legends draw? You do it Tuesday through
• 33:00
  Thursday. And then Fridays dead by on
• 33:04
  Sunday. And so would we bro.
• 33:08
  We got to do what? We.
• 33:10
  Ain't showing up till Thursday. We're not.
• 33:14
  What's show up for the final? Eat.
• 33:15
  We, we. We.
• 33:16
  Walk in on Thursday. Yeah, set up while they're doing
• 33:19
  their final event, do some testing and then get going.
• 33:23
  Are you guys? In the masters event, we
• 33:25
  actually don't have our camera set up yet.
• 33:27
  We're in the process of that. Right, sorry.
• 33:29
  We can set up 1 and just let it watch the whole time.
• 33:32
  But no I I will say and I did post this on Instagram.
• 33:35
  So on the official CrossFit games post about semifinals,
• 33:39
  Fusion gains asked the question so at the legends championship
• 33:44
  is now an in person semifinal. Does that mean Masters will be
• 33:49
  at the main games to which the Legends Championship responded
• 33:54
  100 I posted it, Jenny posted it.
• 33:58
  And then of course obviously it it probably got their attention
• 34:01
  and Bludgeons came back and said sorry.
• 34:03
  Sorry, I just misread it, but I hope it happens.
• 34:10
  All. Right.
• 34:11
  That was. I and since that post I have
• 34:19
  heard a rumor that going around that actually age group games
• 34:24
  would be in the same area at a different venue earlier in the
• 34:29
  week or around the same time. OK.
• 34:36
  Now the the the. Other venue would be weird like
• 34:40
  it. Would be.
• 34:40
  It would be weird. Now I think what would be
• 34:45
  interesting or what could be done is if you could do it on
• 34:49
  Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, right in the SAP Center, if you
• 34:55
  could, if you had enough time to set up before Tuesday.
• 35:00
  Also, what makes that interesting is I, I think I
• 35:02
  don't know if this is like how Castro meant to say it, but he
• 35:06
  made that comment about talking about how you know they
• 35:10
  basically are going to be going to aromas on the day before.
• 35:15
  He made a comment that I don't know if it was like a misspeak
• 35:18
  or if I heard it wrong, but I swear, he said.
• 35:20
  Or you can watch it from the SAP Center.
• 35:27
  So they got our note about the live stream.
• 35:30
  So if they do that, like if that's really what would happen,
• 35:34
  wouldn't it make sense to have like if they're going to have
• 35:36
  people in the SAP Center on Thursday, what if everybody's
• 35:39
  there for the games, for the Masters, and then they time it
• 35:44
  so that the individuals that are competing on Thursday at Aromas
• 35:48
  could be live streamed on the Jumbotron in between Masters
• 35:52
  heats or events? Yeah, yeah, like that would be
• 35:56
  pretty cool. That would be cool.
• 35:58
  So maybe, maybe there's a chance I I like it.
• 36:03
  Good to do. The next week, age group online
• 36:07
  semifinals. So unlike the individuals and
• 36:10
  teams, they're going to be right there in the middle or near the
• 36:12
  beginning of the season. So sorry.
• 36:15
  Is that at the end of their season?
• 36:17
  No. So that's the first one.
• 36:19
  And then like Torian has age group, French has age group.
• 36:23
  I think that's it. This will be the only chance
• 36:27
  that the teenagers, this is their qualifying event.
• 36:31
  So May 11th, 7th to 11th. The teenagers will then get
• 36:35
  their their time in the following weekend, French
• 36:39
  Throwdown. The following weekend after that
• 36:42
  Torian Pro Rebel Renegade Games. The weekend after that MAD
• 36:48
  Fitness Festival, which is basically from the same
• 36:51
  organizers as Wadlin Fest. They repurposed mad, the Madrid
• 36:57
  Championships Instagram account, which I think there's some
• 37:02
  controversy because Madrid Championship was supposed to
• 37:05
  come back this year and they just like disappeared like
• 37:10
  they're supposed to be like in September I think, and it just
• 37:12
  never happened. They weren't the biggest
• 37:14
  competition in the world. Yeah, and they went away like 2
• 37:20
  years or a year ago. They stopped and then they were
• 37:22
  supposed to come back and then it just, I don't know all the
• 37:25
  what happened, but I'm pretty sure it just disappeared.
• 37:31
  You're just bugging out over here.
• 37:33
  No, I just, you know, it's scary when things disappear.
• 37:41
  Right. Norcal Classic and then
• 37:46
  Syndicate crown, so two North American semifinals on the same.
• 37:50
  Weekend. Now I've heard a rumor.
• 37:55
  Me too. I have not heard this rumour
• 37:57
  until now, so. What I'm just saying.
• 37:59
  I I hear. All What is this rumour?
• 38:00
  Dude, yeah, these could be two different rumours than me and
• 38:03
  Tyler right here. I just wanted to.
• 38:05
  I didn't want to feel excluded. I've.
• 38:07
  Also heard. Rumours.
• 38:08
  You go ahead, Tyler. You go first.
• 38:10
  Oh, go, go, go ahead, Tyler. No.
• 38:16
  Tell us what you know. Yeah, mine was more for comedic
• 38:19
  effect. You go ahead.
• 38:21
  Oh, OK. You're sure?
• 38:23
  No, but that's all right that it's a possibility that Norcal
• 38:31
  will change its state is that is there any validity to that or
• 38:36
  no? I would say that is highly
• 38:39
  unlikely. I have not heard that rumor.
• 38:44
  I would say it's not going to. Where would you move it and why?
• 38:48
  Why would you move it? I don't know.
• 38:52
  You would maybe move it to Del Mar.
• 38:56
  Why? Because there's already a thing
• 39:00
  going on over there. That there's individ, that's
• 39:02
  individuals too. Yeah.
• 39:09
  I. Don't know.
• 39:10
  I don't I mean, so you would let's just talk about it.
• 39:16
  Anybody who's paid attention the the the squad put on both Norcal
• 39:24
  and Syndicate That's true broadcast last year.
• 39:29
  To an alarming success. Alarming.
• 39:32
  Hugely alarming. Some would disagree, but some
• 39:35
  would. Some would, yeah.
• 39:40
  There, there's a situation is presented itself here where we,
• 39:43
  you know, we're going to have to split.
• 39:44
  We're going to have to figure out something here or they're
• 39:47
  going to have to call Charlie Doobie.
• 39:49
  But don't you think like this wasn't done in a vacuum?
• 39:53
  I have to imagine that Blair and Ben and Wilson knew each other's
• 40:00
  dates before it got announced. I just think they take away from
• 40:03
  each other from unless from a viewership.
• 40:08
  Standpoint or from a athlete standpoint, a.
• 40:11
  Little, a little of both, yeah. Yeah, it just depends.
• 40:14
  Because. If major athletes end up going
• 40:18
  to Norcal, then yes, I think it takes away from Syndicate
• 40:21
  Crown's viewing experience just because some people some people
• 40:25
  want to watch certain athletes and some people want to watch
• 40:28
  other athletes. If I understand syndicates, I
• 40:33
  would say a lot more well ran, right.
• 40:36
  I I at least a lot. Yeah, right.
• 40:42
  But I, I don't know, I just feel like they take away from each
• 40:46
  other a little bit and not a lot, a bit, but a little bit.
• 40:50
  And it surprised me that those two were on the same weekend.
• 40:59
  Yeah, it does take. Like.
• 41:00
  Like Torian and Rebel Renegade don't don't take away from each
• 41:04
  other. No, they're also not in the
• 41:07
  same. It'd be like if if the Madrid if
• 41:10
  the Mad Fitness festival and the French throw down, we're on the
• 41:13
  same weekend. Europe is divided.
• 41:18
  But they're three hours apart. Like OK.
• 41:26
  You have the ability, maybe they work together and try to stagger
• 41:29
  it a little bit so that it's like the events aren't
• 41:31
  overlapping. I don't think they're going to
• 41:33
  work together like that dude. Do you think they are?
• 41:39
  I said maybe. I think it's hard enough just to
• 41:41
  run your own competition without worrying about when somebody
• 41:44
  else is. Running, I think.
• 41:46
  I think Wilson would try and if you would try.
• 41:51
  What what I think is like if I'm a viewer, first of all, if you
• 41:56
  look at what what we're facing starting April 17th and running
• 42:04
  all the way through June 12th, every single weekend has
• 42:11
  something. Now some of it's online stuff it
• 42:16
  is week after week after week. It's good for us.
• 42:22
  I would argue none of those take away from each other like Norcal
• 42:25
  and Syndicate. What I'm saying is that not
• 42:27
  everybody is going to want to watch or do multiple weeks in a
• 42:31
  row of watching hours and hours and hours of content.
• 42:36
  But if you're if you know that that weekend, that is the
• 42:41
  weekend that you're going to just binge on CrossFit.
• 42:45
  And you could have if if he could figure out a live stream
• 42:48
  for Norcal, because just being in the discovery Park is not
• 42:52
  easy to do that. But if you can figure out a way
• 42:54
  to live stream both you just that's what you do is like, Hey,
• 43:01
  this is my weekend where I'm going to watch this versus I'm
• 43:03
  going to do it Latin the weekend before and I'm going to do it
• 43:06
  the next weekend, right. So just one weekend out of the
• 43:10
  two that you're just going to become like entrenched in
• 43:15
  CrossFit. I I I dig what you're saying for
• 43:20
  sure but like dude the competitions last all day long.
• 43:29
  Yeah, that's why doing it multiple weeks, week in, week
• 43:34
  out is tough to do. It's not like you're watching a
• 43:37
  basketball game over 2 hours or a football game over 3.
• 43:41
  Well, so so like a lot. The last event usually ends by 5
• 43:45
  eastern ish. Let's let's say 5.
• 43:49
  So that's what, 2? Yeah.
• 43:52
  He probably done 1 or 10. So if you do one in the morning
• 43:54
  and then you do then Nora Cal has one at night, there's only
• 43:58
  an overlap of a couple. Yeah.
• 44:01
  Like I don't think there's that much overlap if they are both
• 44:03
  live streamed. And honestly, from a from an
• 44:06
  athlete perspective, I don't think like if you have the top
• 44:14
  20 in the world qualify for both, if you're #12 and you see
• 44:24
  that the top 10 have all gone to syndicate, don't you just want
• 44:28
  to go to Norcal instead? Yeah.
• 44:32
  And take your chances there. Like you can't, you know, you're
• 44:34
  not going to top finish top three against the these top like
• 44:38
  Jeff Austin, what's up? So Jr. and Taylor are on for
• 44:45
  setup and scribble right now. OK.
• 44:48
  I don't think we coordinated very well, but I like, I like, I
• 44:53
  think, I think it was. I think it's speaking.
• 44:55
  Of coordination all. All of the above.
• 44:57
  All. Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's not not
• 44:59
  nobody's at fault, but like we're all at fault and Jenny
• 45:02
  goes y'all are making me choose which stream to watch, like
• 45:06
  people have to choose Syndicate and N Cal.
• 45:09
  It just it just fit our topic. So it killed.
• 45:17
  The the thing that you're not talking about is splitting of
• 45:19
  manpower. So it's like there's only so
• 45:24
  much judging force in the United States.
• 45:27
  We got the AFJ baby, we're good, we're good.
• 45:29
  We got people all over the place that want to do judging. 2nd
• 45:33
  volunteers, all of it. I would just like to.
• 45:37
  I think one of them's going to get short handed for sure, if
• 45:40
  not both. I don't, I mean, I hear you.
• 45:44
  I think Norcal though also gets a ton of community support.
• 45:47
  Now you may not get like AFJ judges, but you, I think I think
• 45:54
  at least in that competition, you're going to be able to get
• 45:57
  enough of the community to come out and do and help because of
• 46:01
  the way that it is just a big massive fitness fest.
• 46:06
  Which hopefully if that's the case, then most of those that do
• 46:10
  travel would go to Syndicate instead.
• 46:12
  So that it kind of balances out. Because I think I, I think you
• 46:14
  are right though, like there are only a hand, a certain limited
• 46:19
  number of volunteers that do travel, judges that do travel to
• 46:24
  competitions. And if that would be a split, if
• 46:27
  Norcal doesn't kind of rally its community vibe and get all
• 46:31
  people out there. So this is this is a good
• 46:34
  question. Go ahead.
• 46:36
  Were you going to click the same thing, Tyler?
• 46:37
  All right, spin, sorry. Does North Cal end up qualifying
• 46:41
  someone outside of the top three, the top finishers, maybe
• 46:43
  people who are already in and just need and just there to win
• 46:46
  the money. So this is all before the
• 46:49
  individual online semi finals. So there will be good, there
• 46:55
  will be good people at every single competition.
• 46:58
  Like I'm talking top tier, top 20 people at the from the games
• 47:02
  at every competition. It won't be like it was last
• 47:04
  year. Last year truly was.
• 47:06
  This is the last chance you have to make it.
• 47:09
  There will be good people at every competition.
• 47:12
  That and I don't, I mean after this year, I don't think anybody
• 47:20
  that's doing going going to do world fitness project.
• 47:24
  We'll do an extra competition just for doing.
• 47:28
  Oh they're all doing 1 and done. Well then that's what I was
• 47:31
  thinking. But at the same time like
• 47:34
  because the online qualifiers last.
• 47:40
  There will be a lot. That do it.
• 47:44
  Yeah, like there's only a handful.
• 47:46
  Like I don't know how many people.
• 47:49
  How would you travel outside of the outside of your region to do
• 47:56
  a semifinal? Probably not, unless I was like
• 48:03
  Colton. Right.
• 48:05
  Like you look at how Syndicate qualifies, it's top 20 out of
• 48:08
  quarterfinals and there's like 20 invites from the games.
• 48:12
  So, I mean, it sounds like he's gonna invite pretty much
• 48:14
  everybody from the games or the top 20 from the games or some
• 48:17
  type of thing like that. Does Ricky Girard go to
• 48:20
  Syndicate or do you just go to Taurian?
• 48:24
  He goes to Taurian. He goes to Taurian.
• 48:26
  Like Jay, Crouch probably does the same.
• 48:29
  Yeah, you're going to the least expensive.
• 48:31
  But like, but then you have Bailey, you have Bailey Martin,
• 48:33
  you have Isaac Newman, you have Peter Ellis for that third spot.
• 48:39
  Do you travel somewhere else? Like does anybody from outside
• 48:43
  of the United States go to syndicate or to?
• 48:48
  They can. Do but but do you think in given
• 48:51
  this scenario? I'm going to far Easter, I'm
• 48:54
  going to to Africa. There's.
• 48:57
  Only one spot. I mean if I'm.
• 49:01
  But if two people do it. Two.
• 49:03
  And if 2GO then one is screwed. Yeah, you've wasted a bullet.
• 49:07
  You got to get there first, See, you got to bluff people out a
• 49:10
  little bit. You know, if I'm Peter Ellis,
• 49:12
  I'm, I'm like, I'm going and. Then so if you're Peter Ellis,
• 49:15
  if you're Peter Ellis and you go to Africa, right?
• 49:18
  And you're like, I'm sitting pretty and then the day before
• 49:21
  Africa, freaking Dallin Pepper says I'm going to go to Africa.
• 49:26
  That's what are you doing. I'm putting baking soda in his
• 49:29
  drinks to make him shit himself. I you, if you're going to make a
• 49:33
  call, you got to be able to go in.
• 49:35
  And I would bribe the rebel, the rebel organizers to have a
• 49:38
  surprise 50 Cal event in the very first event given PTSD.
• 49:43
  Mysterious horse meat that happens to have a a a no DS in
• 49:48
  it. That's only in Iceland.
• 49:50
  No, it's that's definitely in Africa.
• 49:55
  Hope like a Hobart. Not in this economy.
• 49:57
  No one's going to travel anywhere in this economy.
• 50:00
  Also I I just want to rebrand. Where's, where's where's he
• 50:03
  from? Tennessee.
• 50:05
  Hobart. Yeah, he's in.
• 50:07
  He's in Colorado now, but he's in the Northeast.
• 50:10
  Is he in Colorado now? Yeah, Yeah, OK.
• 50:12
  He yeah, he's all around. He's a New Englander, OK?
• 50:17
  Yeah, I just don't. I mean, I, I think it's going to
• 50:19
  be interesting how the athletes try to split up, right like.
• 50:26
  Yeah. I mean, if you're a big, if
• 50:27
  you're a big dog, you're just going to whichever 1 you want.
• 50:32
  Do y'all want to bomb Shut up and Scrabble?
• 50:37
  No. I think it would be fine.
• 50:40
  I mean bomb him. Well, just go comment.
• 50:42
  Like comment bomb. John, that's like America
• 50:45
  bombing. America, what's the conspiracy
• 50:49
  theory? It's.
• 50:51
  Like America bombing Suriname. Suriname.
• 50:55
  Surinam. Surinam, it's just not fair.
• 50:59
  That's we freaking bombed the freaking box office girls
• 51:04
  they're. That's different. 10 times
• 51:07
  they're Rhodesia. No, no, no, no, no.
• 51:10
  They are not Rhodesia. Don't you dare.
• 51:15
  Yeah. Anyway, I don't, I don't think
• 51:21
  Norcal needs to. I think live stream is a
• 51:24
  question between the two, obviously because Savon did
• 51:27
  both, but I don't, I don't think it's an issue with the athletes
• 51:33
  at all. I think they'll have to choose
• 51:36
  and I think they probably were going to choose regardless, even
• 51:39
  if they were back-to-back weekends.
• 51:40
  They don't to they don't go to both.
• 51:43
  I I don't like it for the athletes that like are bubble
• 51:47
  athletes or something because then they might be, they might
• 51:50
  be forced to travel. You like Hannah Block has to go
• 51:52
  to both, yeah. I don't care about those people.
• 51:56
  You're on the bubble for a reason.
• 51:58
  Get fit. Yeah, it just, it just sort of
• 52:00
  sucks a little bit because you have the least funds.
• 52:03
  You're right. But that's that's what it is.
• 52:06
  That's what it is. I mean, when you're in that,
• 52:08
  yeah. Real quick.
• 52:12
  And then I think maybe we will go go bomb them.
• 52:16
  Let's see. Changed his opinion.
• 52:20
  Do you want to talk? Do you want to talk?
• 52:21
  Rogue Invitational, and we'll find something along the way.
• 52:25
  No real quick. I'm sorry I I don't have a thing
• 52:29
  today. The 2026 CrossFit game schedule
• 52:34
  for individuals and teams. This is insane. 26126 Two 26
• 52:41
  three with Wadapalooza Miami Skip a week quarterfinals.
• 52:49
  Oh snap tour stop one April 3rd through 5th.
• 52:54
  Is it? Is it published?
• 52:55
  No, no, I'm telling you that's what's going to happen.
• 53:00
  So right after so so So what they said was first of all, the
• 53:05
  tour stop one was supposed to be March 27th, the 29th.
• 53:10
  Whoops. Will said that there was now a
• 53:13
  contingency plan in case that happened.
• 53:16
  We still don't know what those dates are.
• 53:19
  It has to be in that three-week period.
• 53:21
  It has to it. Has to be April 3rd to 5th
• 53:23
  right? And then if you're doing that,
• 53:25
  you have Mayhem Classic in two weeks.
• 53:27
  So anybody doing mayhem classics like Nope, not doing that, that
• 53:31
  thinks they can qualify? Or they're like, Nope, not doing
• 53:35
  Mayhem Classic. Here's the here's the problem.
• 53:39
  You can't, you can't just Slough off on the quarterfinals.
• 53:42
  Yes, top 2000 can do semifinals. Yeah, that's the online portion,
• 53:47
  top 2000. But to get into some of these
• 53:50
  competitions, you have to be you're still.
• 53:53
  Doing you're doing it full blast.
• 53:55
  You have to, yeah, you can't. Just like I'm just going to
• 53:57
  Fukowski this and take 13 hundredth.
• 54:00
  Right. So it's going to be May 8th
• 54:01
  through 10th. It can't even be there.
• 54:06
  It can't be there. Well, it was before.
• 54:09
  It was before. It was on May 15th, It was
• 54:11
  during the French Throwdown. That's what they did.
• 54:13
  Last year, yeah, but they want to do 1 every quarter.
• 54:15
  So it's supposed to be the end of March.
• 54:17
  And then I think Ansley may have said it that or or Roger on
• 54:23
  Pedro's podcast said that it was March and then June.
• 54:28
  Well, I think you do that and they're they're in the
• 54:30
  three-week period and then they're after June.
• 54:32
  And I mean, yeah, if you're doing it, it's a lot.
• 54:34
  It's a lot. But that's the only way.
• 54:36
  You're not running into anybody. Like the last weekend of June.
• 54:40
  Yeah. Three weeks before the Games.
• 54:43
  Unfortunately I won't be able to do it 'cause I have grid, but
• 54:48
  yeah, I've I've committed to things better than WFPI.
• 54:54
  Didn't know you knew the schedule already.
• 54:56
  I don't, but it'll be around there.
• 55:01
  OK. I like I like Bob, Bob Mac
• 55:06
  McNamara's idea. Bob.
• 55:09
  Aronara. What if we just, what if we just
• 55:16
  did the teams? I thought about that and we we
• 55:19
  did the A-Team to syndicate and the B team to to Norcal and like
• 55:23
  it kind of I think it works out. I'm going with spin.
• 55:27
  Wherever spin goes is where. I'm going to cynic because I'm
• 55:29
  driving my RV and I'm going to go park in the parking garage.
• 55:33
  He would. He's.
• 55:34
  Like spins like I'm 18. You can be whatever team you
• 55:38
  want. I'm going to be at Syndicate if
• 55:40
  you want. You don't want to be near me.
• 55:41
  You can go out to the West Coast.
• 55:43
  That's fine. Bill doesn't want to travel
• 55:45
  outside of California. You're right.
• 55:46
  Bill doesn't. Yeah, Bill.
• 55:48
  'S like I'm just going to drive a couple hours to.
• 55:51
  We kind of have an East Coast and the West Coast team, if you
• 55:53
  think about it, we. We really do.
• 55:55
  But do you think you think we should split everybody up?
• 56:01
  So the the the big issue is the what's labeled out here and Will
• 56:04
  runs WCC. The problem is Will's dead.
• 56:08
  Yeah, will, will, will, Will's not going to work.
• 56:10
  Will's RIP or it's going to cost us $10,000 to bring him out of
• 56:15
  the grave. I think splitting the team, I
• 56:17
  think splitting the team up would be too, too much.
• 56:20
  I don't and I don't like. It no, I think I 100% think we
• 56:24
  could do it. I don't want to split.
• 56:26
  The I don't want to either, but I think we would like, let's
• 56:30
  just talk about this like I think we're assholes if we don't
• 56:33
  try. I don't know if anything would
• 56:37
  discussed with with Norcal. I don't know what's been
• 56:41
  discussed. But I don't I don't want to put
• 56:43
  out a subpar product because we tried.
• 56:45
  To I don't think we but Norcal can we even can you guys even
• 56:49
  live stream Norcal like you guys were recording and sending it in
• 56:52
  like tape delay we. We live streamed a couple.
• 56:57
  That's actually a good. Point You live streamed the
• 56:58
  Gator? Yeah, on iPhones, which was
• 57:03
  fine, it worked, we did it, but everything.
• 57:06
  Else me and Bill walked next to 50,000 Gators man, we just
• 57:10
  walked next to them OK? Every everything else was tape
• 57:13
  delay as fast as you can run out and go somewhere else where
• 57:17
  there was actually like Internet and then.
• 57:20
  Mail the tapes to Google. Yeah.
• 57:24
  So like, I don't know, like I have no, I have no idea if Susan
• 57:29
  or Sivan have talked to those guys and what their thoughts
• 57:32
  are. We don't need as many cams on
• 57:34
  the floor, we just. Need we would for syndicate?
• 57:37
  No. I think so.
• 57:39
  Yeah, I think you do. You think like me and Caleb
• 57:44
  Cams? I think we would need like a
• 57:47
  little bit more than we did crash.
• 57:50
  Yeah. Oh so you want like 3 roaming
• 57:54
  cams? Dude, it's Syndicate.
• 57:55
  It's not just. There's 10.
• 57:57
  There's 10. It's not it's not rigmarole
• 57:59
  doing. Think about.
• 58:00
  Think about. What?
• 58:01
  I thought last year you were like, no, we just need
• 58:03
  stationary cams. I didn't say.
• 58:05
  That no dude dude like like for Syndicate man, we're going I.
• 58:09
  I was talking to, I was talking to you out of trying to do only
• 58:11
  stationary on the handstand lock event because you said it was
• 58:14
  too tight. And I'm like, no, you got to
• 58:15
  have stationary. You're going to have the people
• 58:16
  out there. Got to get closer.
• 58:18
  Yeah, that one was wild. Norcal, Norcal we could.
• 58:21
  Probably get way down. With it Norcal you almost need
• 58:26
  roaming cameras though just because there's 30.
• 58:29
  You pulled it off without them. No, they were roaming.
• 58:32
  They had one. Right, we had two. 2.
• 58:37
  Yeah, but you have to. And we had Barkley, and like
• 58:39
  Barkley, we didn't talk about him enough, but he played
• 58:43
  spotter the whole time. Like we had two roaming cameras
• 58:47
  and he would just basically direct.
• 58:49
  An orchestra. Like direct an orchestra and
• 58:52
  then once the camera got over there, then me, Bill, me and
• 58:55
  Bill talked like it was, it was a whole deal that like, I don't
• 59:00
  think we would have split up. I think we could do it.
• 59:05
  We could get the camera people. I mean fuck dude, me and Caleb
• 59:09
  and Taylor and Pedro all figured out how to run cams and we had
• 59:13
  never done it before by the by the final event like we had
• 59:17
  figured out. Might just like get Brad out
• 59:19
  there and like make Jenny roam with the camera and and do a
• 59:27
  pull the whole team. Do you know?
• 59:29
  What I mean and Concord there's there's no that I I just then
• 59:34
  who puts on West Coast or who puts on syndicate?
• 59:36
  Like you know what I mean? How do you choose?
• 59:39
  I think you just, I think you just let Savon pick what he
• 59:41
  thinks. I, I agree with what you guys
• 59:46
  are saying. Like just if you're E, you go to
• 59:49
  the East and if you're W you kind of go to the West.
• 59:51
  But I feel like the big production should be at
• 59:56
  Syndicate, not sound like I'm making the calls, but I'm like,
• 1:00:00
  we're just, we're just talking about it.
• 1:00:02
  Right. Because the more important
• 1:00:06
  production would be syndicate. It's easier, you know it's going
• 1:00:09
  to work because you're in a stadium.
• 1:00:10
  Yeah, it's a known. Yeah, it's a known.
• 1:00:13
  Element so it hits. Norcal's almost a known not
• 1:00:18
  going to work. Lee Frazier, I'd pay for that
• 1:00:22
  and go to Tennessee. Lee would pay her her streaming
• 1:00:26
  fee and then yeah. JC.
• 1:00:30
  Did you all try Starlink or is the up speed too slow?
• 1:00:33
  You guys, you have no idea. So everything that they did,
• 1:00:37
  everything that they did, it crash with the extra and like
• 1:00:41
  cell tower antennas and stuff. First of all, none of that
• 1:00:44
  worked 'cause it discovery parks in a like valley with a dead
• 1:00:47
  zone or there's no Internet. On top of that, for whatever
• 1:00:52
  reason, I have no idea why, but Starlink was not connecting.
• 1:00:55
  Right. We would have to buy a cell
• 1:00:58
  tower for three days. That's what it was going to be.
• 1:01:01
  We would have to buy a cell tower, That's what.
• 1:01:05
  That's the only way it would have worked.
• 1:01:08
  So let me explain to you how. This Hamilton Road is not buying
• 1:01:11
  a cell tower, OK? The this, this bonded router it
• 1:01:16
  has in, if you've never listened to seven because he's talked
• 1:01:19
  about it like 3 times, there are three different SIM cards that
• 1:01:21
  go into this thing all pushing like the highest amount of of
• 1:01:25
  Internet that you can get from a cell phone signal and it has
• 1:01:30
  Starlink. It pushes all of that signal out
• 1:01:33
  into these different ones so you can get the most amount of speed
• 1:01:37
  at the same time, and it still didn't fucking work.
• 1:01:40
  Like a star with light, but we were in a black.
• 1:01:43
  Hole The cue you guys are giving, it's like I'm trying to
• 1:01:45
  squat 600 lbs and you're like if you tried pushing your knees
• 1:01:48
  out. Yeah.
• 1:01:50
  Just push your knees out. Oh dude, it's a beautiful
• 1:01:53
  analogy. Beautiful analogy.
• 1:01:58
  Yeah. I want to try, I'm, I'm running,
• 1:02:01
  I'm trying to be a rider runner. Have you tried like, you know,
• 1:02:04
  running outside? Don't heal, strike, have.
• 1:02:07
  You tried to run. Just move your legs faster.
• 1:02:11
  You do Frazier 999 Sivan can do California spin to Tennessee.
• 1:02:15
  I'm going to Tennessee whether I'm going to be used or not.
• 1:02:19
  I am not going to California. Just saying, hey, I'm sorry
• 1:02:23
  guys, I'm going here no matter what.
• 1:02:26
  Yeah, I don't care if you guys don't want.
• 1:02:27
  Me to do what you want is where I'm going to be.
• 1:02:29
  That's right. Yeah, that's fair.
• 1:02:33
  So, yeah, exactly. So I going back to World fitness
• 1:02:37
  project and how this works. I, I don't know, I don't either,
• 1:02:44
  but they got to throw a lot of money into that for it too.
• 1:02:48
  Season as a whole. Better.
• 1:02:50
  Worse. Same.
• 1:02:55
  Better because online semifinals is at the end.
• 1:02:57
  Yes. There will be more.
• 1:03:00
  There'll be more competitive in person events.
• 1:03:04
  You will have everybody's not just going to go to Mayhem.
• 1:03:07
  There will be more top tier athletes at every event.
• 1:03:12
  One last real quick question. Only one team competition in
• 1:03:18
  North America Syndicate crown. So cool.
• 1:03:21
  Go. Is that a mistake?
• 1:03:23
  They only have one when seven of the top ten teams last year were
• 1:03:27
  from. No, I think you should do the
• 1:03:29
  podium. So the.
• 1:03:34
  Instead of two teams, is it two or three teams?
• 1:03:41
  It's three, right? They come from Syndicate.
• 1:03:44
  So there's. Only one team semifinal in North
• 1:03:49
  America, and that is. In.
• 1:03:51
  Person. My fault, my fault, my fault.
• 1:03:52
  So Mayhem does not have it. Legends does not have it.
• 1:03:55
  Well, Mayhem couldn't have it. They're too small.
• 1:03:58
  Legends. I don't know.
• 1:04:00
  How many does the online semifinal get?
• 1:04:03
  I think they're all gonna have 7.
• 1:04:06
  So I think individuals are gonna have 7 when you do the math, as
• 1:04:08
  well as teams. The teams only have 20 teams
• 1:04:10
  that go to the games and I think there's 5 semifinals in habits
• 1:04:17
  it's like 3333 and 1 something like that.
• 1:04:22
  So and what it does, it ends up with 13 coming from an in person
• 1:04:27
  and then there'll be 7 from online.
• 1:04:30
  But and again, I think a lot will end up making it from this
• 1:04:33
  from North America through the online portion, but you're
• 1:04:37
  putting not putting that weight on that.
• 1:04:41
  And if you are, go only, If you're only going to syndicate
• 1:04:46
  as a team and you fail, then you have to turn around the next
• 1:04:48
  weekend and do the online semi. Yeah.
• 1:04:50
  So you're sort of disincentivized from going to
• 1:04:53
  Syndicate if you know you're not going to be in the top three in
• 1:04:56
  that at Syndicate, which sucks 'cause you want to incentivize
• 1:05:00
  as me versus like if Syndicate had seven, you're like, I'm
• 1:05:04
  probably going to go. Right.
• 1:05:09
  'Cause you're like anybody can screw up and get like 7th or
• 1:05:11
  whatever. Right, for sure, especially all
• 1:05:14
  that many teams. Yeah, I mean, like you, you'd
• 1:05:17
  have 14 teams being like, there's a shot that I could do
• 1:05:21
  it. Yeah, I mean, like let's say
• 1:05:23
  Invictus throws together another team, Mayhem throws another
• 1:05:26
  team. I think like 8th day CrossFit is
• 1:05:28
  usually pretty good. Like if all three of those come
• 1:05:31
  in, like maybe there's a couple other teams that feel confident,
• 1:05:36
  but I think it I think it puts North America at a disadvantage
• 1:05:43
  of sending more because you're only going to get 3 and then you
• 1:05:45
  have to turn around and do it if you try to do both.
• 1:05:49
  And that could be a problem. Which means I would wonder if
• 1:05:55
  like even qualifying, I would have this stipulation if I were,
• 1:06:00
  if I were Wilson. We're going to invite however
• 1:06:04
  many and we'll just keep inviting down so that like
• 1:06:12
  people can just go and play essentially.
• 1:06:15
  I mean, I'm sure he wants to fill out the roster.
• 1:06:17
  Right, you're going to want to fill out the roster.
• 1:06:19
  I guess I was I was thinking like I you could have it to
• 1:06:21
  where it's like you didn't even compete.
• 1:06:22
  But no, you you definitely want to have it to where they they
• 1:06:25
  competed in the open or whatever.
• 1:06:27
  But like that means like if you're not really good and you
• 1:06:29
  just wanted to go to a really cool comp, you could, which is
• 1:06:34
  kind of cool. Yeah, for sure.
• 1:06:37
  Last one, Vicky be limitless health dollar 99.
• 1:06:41
  Do you think CrossFit doing this is a shot at world fitness
• 1:06:44
  project? Abigail would say yes.
• 1:06:51
  I don't know. I think they're just doing them.
• 1:06:54
  They gave them like a clear space where they could do their
• 1:06:56
  competition. So I don't, I mean, I think it's
• 1:06:59
  nice of them to get their schedule out early.
• 1:07:02
  You know, they could have held on to this and then did it.
• 1:07:06
  I think quarterfinals was a direct shot at that.
• 1:07:09
  That specifically there, but the schedule like we knew about
• 1:07:13
  quarterfinals before. I think the quarterfinals I
• 1:07:16
  yeah, I, I think, I think the quarterfinals was coming back.
• 1:07:21
  I think to some degree people realize like Dave and then
• 1:07:25
  realize that quarterfinals was important to people.
• 1:07:28
  But I also think something had to be said about like, no, if we
• 1:07:32
  schedule this and make people have to do it around when they
• 1:07:35
  knew the rumor was that they're going to be out there at the end
• 1:07:38
  of March, that kind of screws them over.
• 1:07:43
  Now, I think the growth of the number of semifinal competitions
• 1:07:47
  that was in the play on last year as they grow it and to have
• 1:07:50
  more of these. So I don't think that was a
• 1:07:53
  change, but I do think quarterfinals was so.
• 1:07:58
  It's like, is it a shot at WPWFP?
• 1:08:03
  It's like, I don't think it was a shot.
• 1:08:05
  It was just a statement of like, this is our game.
• 1:08:11
  Like just get in line. You can't.
• 1:08:14
  You're playing in the wrong sandbox.
• 1:08:17
  You thought you're a big boy. Go and sit at the kids table.
• 1:08:23
  I think it's going to turn to that.
• 1:08:24
  That's what it yeah, that's what it effectively will be.
• 1:08:27
  Whether CrossFit meant it that way or not, I don't know, but I
• 1:08:30
  think that WFP thought their britches were way bigger than
• 1:08:33
  they are. Yeah, maybe we're wrong and
• 1:08:36
  everybody goes to does that instead of the CrossFit.
• 1:08:38
  That's that's. Definitely what they're going to
• 1:08:39
  do, yeah. I.
• 1:08:40
  Don't. I don't think that's going to be
• 1:08:41
  the case. All right, enough of semifinals.
• 1:08:44
  We can talk about that next week and AD nauseam.
• 1:08:48
  Dude, we we spent some time. A long time on that.
• 1:08:51
  You guys just kept going, dude, I was.
• 1:08:54
  I knew it's we, we were the. Frameworks in whole different
• 1:08:56
  ways now that it's unleaded. OK well we go to the next topic.
• 1:09:01
  I am going to change that in my bike and shorts so I if I'm like
• 1:09:05
  like wither around don't let y'all know it's just what I'm
• 1:09:07
  doing OK? OK.
• 1:09:13
  So I'm really uncomfortable been in the.
• 1:09:16
  I'm going to be very soon. Preferred you not told us.
• 1:09:18
  I'm just, I'm just, I'm just letting you know that I'm going
• 1:09:21
  to be naked over here and for a minute.
• 1:09:24

  He warned us this. He he gave a warning.
• 1:09:48
  This is this is this is Olie fans.
• 1:09:51
  Real quick, about to do a snatch.
• 1:09:53
  Go jump over to shut up and scribble.
• 1:09:55

  Meat spin. Yeah, just go throw it in, throw
• 1:10:15
  a comment in there and then come on back and we'll start talking
• 1:10:17
  about Rogue. Ryan Jevening do you remember
• 1:10:21
  when Drew Wayman blah blah blah blah.
• 1:10:22
  Do you remember when Drew Ryan was the the Caleb of the Seven
• 1:10:27
  podcast 'cause I Know. Ryan.
• 1:10:31
  Yeah, for the missing episode, the Tyler Watkins missing Z
• 1:10:37
  score episode on the Seven podcast Ryan.
• 1:10:39
  Oh, that was Ryan. Yeah.
• 1:10:42
  Oh goodness. OK, we're there.
• 1:10:44
  We almost got the entire chat filled up, I think.
• 1:10:50
  I think Jr. sees it. I hope he does.
• 1:10:54
  All right. Rogue Invitational.
• 1:10:56
  Let's see. Where was it, man?
• 1:10:59
  Abigail has found her voice tonight.
• 1:11:01
  Yeah, she's. A beautiful singer.
• 1:11:03
  Thank you. She's working on it.
• 1:11:07
  That's good. John Young's rankings.
• 1:11:11
  Yes, Sir, otherwise known as what's going to happen.
• 1:11:16
  We'll see. I I some people took offence
• 1:11:19
  this time. A lot of people.
• 1:11:21
  I don't think I had anybody that said these are pretty good.
• 1:11:25
  I think everybody, I think everybody thinks they're really
• 1:11:28
  bad. Which will, Abby Grace, I'm
• 1:11:33
  gonna need you to calm it down. Nope, It's not calming down.
• 1:11:44
  Yeah. So it's going to be interesting.
• 1:11:47
  Yeah, starting with the men here, Jason Hopper first, Jeff
• 1:11:52
  Adler second, Austin Hatfield third.
• 1:11:55
  That is your podium. You're already off to a bad
• 1:11:57
  start. Let me tell you something.
• 1:11:59
  So like I go through every event and I kind of do like a hard
• 1:12:06
  look on each athlete for every event.
• 1:12:08
  And then I basically assigned them a number And when the and I
• 1:12:13
  don't look at who's in the lead or anything, I just go event by
• 1:12:16
  event and then I add it all up. You give them a number.
• 1:12:19
  I was one through 10. Like if they're bad at it or bad
• 1:12:22
  at it. Yeah, just how I think they're
• 1:12:24
  going to be in the event. If I think they're going to win,
• 1:12:26
  I give them a 10. If I think they could win, I
• 1:12:28
  give them a nine, you know what I mean?
• 1:12:30
  And so forth. And I was shocked that Jason
• 1:12:35
  came out on top. Like none of me thought that he
• 1:12:39
  was going to be on top. But that way I don't have a bias
• 1:12:43
  or anything. It's just event by event.
• 1:12:46
  And if you come out low, you come out low.
• 1:12:48
  If you come out high, you come out high.
• 1:12:50
  And then if people are within a few points of each other,
• 1:12:55
  depending on just what I think is going to happen or like a
• 1:12:58
  heart pick or like I think somebody's improved a lot, maybe
• 1:13:02
  I think somebody's trash, you know what I mean?
• 1:13:04
  And then I'll sway them a spot or two.
• 1:13:06
  For example, Jeff and Jason actually tied.
• 1:13:12
  One person failed a 475 back squat and one person won the
• 1:13:17
  CrossFit Games. So and so I put Jason ahead of
• 1:13:22
  Jeff, right? And even though they tied stuff
• 1:13:26
  like that. OK, why are you surprised that
• 1:13:31
  Jason at the top? I was just surprised to see him
• 1:13:36
  there. Like I looked through all the
• 1:13:38
  events because I, you know, I did a similar thing.
• 1:13:40
  I did it more or less granular. I just said I kind of bucketed
• 1:13:44
  them into the top five, six to 1011 to 15 and 16 to 20.
• 1:13:51
  Only bad event I see for Hopper of the of the and and if that
• 1:13:56
  everything I've heard is that the Sunday morning's gonna be a
• 1:13:58
  run, right? It makes sense to be a run.
• 1:14:00
  I assume that that was. He's gonna be fine.
• 1:14:03
  It'll be like a rogue. It'll especially if it's a rogue
• 1:14:05
  run where it's like here's a weight vest or do something
• 1:14:07
  heavy called Granite circle there.
• 1:14:10
  There's gonna be something that's gonna be, you know, 2
• 1:14:13
  hopper's advantage when it comes to running.
• 1:14:15
  The only that event I see is maybe event 1 and that's the
• 1:14:18
  because of the log muscle up. And he's supposed to be
• 1:14:21
  improved. By that and.
• 1:14:22
  If he's gotten better, like he's not going to be last.
• 1:14:25
  I don't think he's, I don't think he's the bottom five.
• 1:14:27
  He may not be top ten but like. For sure.
• 1:14:31
  It's just there's, there's a group of essentially really like
• 1:14:36
  9 guys, right, that are all kind of just depending on the
• 1:14:40
  programming better than the other.
• 1:14:43
  And it's just surprising when one, like, the guy that came out
• 1:14:49
  on top is also the guy that, you know, I think it's going to come
• 1:14:53
  out on top again whenever they're close enough.
• 1:14:57
  Usually that just doesn't happen.
• 1:14:59
  Like at the 2026 CrossFit Games. I am willing to bet that Jason
• 1:15:04
  Hopper doesn't win just because programming is going to be
• 1:15:10
  different now. He'll be in it.
• 1:15:12
  He'll be in it. And maybe he does.
• 1:15:13
  Maybe he does win like, but eight other guys are also
• 1:15:18
  capable. Yeah, we'll get into 2026 games,
• 1:15:21
  but I could see the games programming be very similar
• 1:15:25
  because we're now in the world of Arena.
• 1:15:29
  Sure, but the difference between a Max back squat and a Max
• 1:15:32
  deadlift is huge. They're they're way different,
• 1:15:38
  like the events themselves are not going to be the same.
• 1:15:40
  Sure, but I I still think it'll be more more machine based.
• 1:15:43
  We'll see more and more machine based things that Hopper will
• 1:15:47
  excel at on top of him. Just be in bed.
• 1:15:51
  And so will Down and so will Roman.
• 1:15:53
  There's four other guys that are of the same body.
• 1:15:57
  You know what I'm saying? Like I just I, I.
• 1:16:01
  Roman No, I think Roman's out. He can't.
• 1:16:04
  He can't podium again. Yeah, he's done.
• 1:16:06
  And that's what I think about Jeff.
• 1:16:11
  That's what I think about Jeff. Like I don't think like this was
• 1:16:14
  The funny thing about like Hiller and and and Brian was
• 1:16:17
  like Brian was like, oh, he always does well at Rogue.
• 1:16:20
  And then like Hiller was like, yeah, he's done ass in the past
• 1:16:24
  events, the past 2 events he's been in.
• 1:16:27
  I I don't understand why you're ranking Adler so high.
• 1:16:29
  Like he's shown us nothing. And you're a dude, John, who's
• 1:16:32
  like you like to see it. Yeah.
• 1:16:34
  What have you done for me lately?
• 1:16:36
  And Jeff has done 0. For but this is where This is
• 1:16:40
  why I like to go event by event and where I don't have a bias,
• 1:16:45
  right. If it's if I'm just ranking
• 1:16:47
  them, then Jeff's like 5th, right?
• 1:16:50
  But each event I go through and he came out tied in the lead.
• 1:16:54
  And and here's the thing. There's not a Max out, and if
• 1:16:59
  there was a Max out, I actually think that would hurt him at
• 1:17:02
  this point, right, because he's gotten weaker.
• 1:17:06
  Just because, just because of injury, that doesn't affect his
• 1:17:10
  barbell cycling. He still did heavy Isabel 40
• 1:17:14
  seconds faster than second place and a lot of Rogue is just heavy
• 1:17:20
  barbell cycling. And adaptive stuff.
• 1:17:26
  Yeah, but you, you know the stuff.
• 1:17:28
  You know the stuff. I, I hear you, I, I, I think if
• 1:17:31
  you go back and look at what Rogue has done like it, it seems
• 1:17:37
  like Rogue is going to have a lot of crazy interesting
• 1:17:39
  different things. You go back there aren't that
• 1:17:42
  much, especially now, right, like a log muscle UPS, not new.
• 1:17:48
  The the latter the the the power stare is not new like the
• 1:17:56
  deadlifts are probably going to be kettle bells.
• 1:17:57
  Yeah, but they they don't do it. This is not stuff you do often,
• 1:18:00
  especially the power steer. Like you're not trained in that.
• 1:18:06
  I guess I don't think the power steer is going to be that
• 1:18:08
  important on that event. Dude I think after the games
• 1:18:11
  Jeff took a week off and then was like I'm just training for
• 1:18:14
  Rogue. He cares about Rogue more than
• 1:18:16
  he does the games. I mean, it's a lot of money.
• 1:18:18
  I would. Too.
• 1:18:19
  It's not even about the money he just prohibited.
• 1:18:22
  It. Suits him, yeah, but the Games
• 1:18:25
  has money too. Yeah, I, I, if he was truly
• 1:18:29
  hurt, then I think he just got through it.
• 1:18:31
  I think they may have talked about that, like Brian might
• 1:18:34
  have mentioned it, like if you just wanted to get through it,
• 1:18:36
  like he wasn't gonna do, wasn't gonna win at some point.
• 1:18:38
  So like, let's not hurt myself. I think rogue programming suits
• 1:18:43
  Jeff more than games program, and he knows it and he knows.
• 1:18:49
  It not this year. This year should have been right
• 1:18:51
  down Jeff's like wheelhouse. OK, well, I'll tell you another
• 1:18:55
  reason I think Jeff is not going to win.
• 1:18:57
  Because I don't have him winning.
• 1:18:58
  Canadian though I don't I. Don't think he's going to do
• 1:19:01
  well, period. He's not going to be in the top
• 1:19:02
  three. OK, is.
• 1:19:04
  It because he's now he's opened up.
• 1:19:08
  I don't think that Fraser would have lost.
• 1:19:12
  He would have just pulled out and now Jeff has allowed himself
• 1:19:16
  to be a loser and I don't think he's a dude who can come back.
• 1:19:19
  For he already lost dude. Right.
• 1:19:22
  But I don't think he can. I, I think he's, he's, he's
• 1:19:25
  took, taken on the moniker of loser too many Times Now and
• 1:19:28
  it's just stuck. I think his head's going to be
• 1:19:30
  screwed. I don't think he can come back.
• 1:19:33
  Real quick in the heat one out, what is ADP Tyler?
• 1:19:36
  Average draft position, that's how we're on the on average
• 1:19:40
  where people are picking him. The lower the better.
• 1:19:42
  I will. I'm going to go ahead.
• 1:19:44
  Go ahead. First real real quick, Lee
• 1:19:47
  Frazier, man, she's throwing out those yellow chats all all day
• 1:19:51
  long. I like it that JY is wrong.
• 1:19:54
  Love you JY, but Spin is going to need a little more after this
• 1:19:58
  hope of my sweet AL Ariel. Lowen.
• 1:20:04
  Ariel Lowen is on that podium. Yeah, we'll get to the women.
• 1:20:08
  Yeah, I'm going to address this just because a couple people
• 1:20:11
  have said it. I know that Hillary has made
• 1:20:15
  Brian relevant. Then if Brian's predictions are
• 1:20:19
  more accurate than mine, then great for him.
• 1:20:24
  Like I'll be I'll be upset about it, but his they are.
• 1:20:28
  Out of the last 10 competitions, Brian has beaten me maybe twice.
• 1:20:33
  80% of the time I'm more accurate than every single
• 1:20:37
  person who's ever tried to do this.
• 1:20:39
  Every single competition I tend to be the best one.
• 1:20:43
  But if he beats me then good for him.
• 1:20:45
  He did that. My top 10 on heat 1 is.
• 1:20:49
  Not. Really good.
• 1:20:50
  I'm talking about predictions when it's all real deal.
• 1:20:54
  What do you mean real deal? Like you put it out before the
• 1:20:58
  competition, not not heat 1 and then people get hurt and all
• 1:21:01
  that stuff. Like put it out a whole list.
• 1:21:04
  I put it before the whole competition starts.
• 1:21:05
  John, what you're talking about? OK, so.
• 1:21:07
  It's at 321 and it's over dude. Also download the Heat One app.
• 1:21:11
  Enter your picks now. Please use John as the CHEAT
• 1:21:13
  SHEET if you like. But I'm not going to be like,
• 1:21:19
  make a whiff about it then, you know, good for him if they are.
• 1:21:22
  Make a wish about it. Austin Hatfield #3 Are you
• 1:21:29
  concerned that he's a rookie going to rogue?
• 1:21:33
  I think Rogue suits Austin very well, very well.
• 1:21:38
  The I am concerned that the the bar muscle up like he's whether
• 1:21:44
  they. Want muscle up?
• 1:21:45
  The lateral. Horizontal, you know, there's
• 1:21:48
  rope climbs coming up in one of the unnamed workouts.
• 1:21:51
  Yeah, I'm hoping that's mixed with like very fast Barbell, but
• 1:21:55
  I even with that, like I didn't rank him highly in the duel, I
• 1:21:58
  ranked him average. Just just the reason why I have
• 1:22:02
  Colton so high. There is going to be multiple
• 1:22:06
  events where Austin is just filthy.
• 1:22:11
  I absolutely filthy. So whether he takes a hit or
• 1:22:14
  not, that's going to be the difference in him.
• 1:22:17
  Like he could win. What are Austin's best events?
• 1:22:20
  He could get 5th. The back squad event, I think
• 1:22:24
  he'll be second to or not second, but he'll be top three,
• 1:22:27
  right? I actually think Hopper's going
• 1:22:28
  to win the back squat event, but Colton and Austin will be very
• 1:22:32
  good at the back squat sandbag clean event.
• 1:22:34
  I think he could win the bench press, lateral pegboard event.
• 1:22:37
  I think Colton will probably win it.
• 1:22:39
  He'll be second you. Just said that you were
• 1:22:40
  concerned about the lateral. I am.
• 1:22:42
  I am. But as far as the bench press
• 1:22:44
  goes, him and Austin are going to be the best ones.
• 1:22:47
  Colton and Austin will be the best ones.
• 1:22:49
  So if he can do it at all, if he can do it at all, he's going to
• 1:22:52
  be fine. It's also way less pegboard than
• 1:22:55
  it was. Last year, just five across.
• 1:22:57
  Just five singles and I think you can muscle through that, but
• 1:23:00
  it's still there. He could still blow up.
• 1:23:02
  It's not, he's done it before, but I think he can go anywhere
• 1:23:06
  between 1st through 5th. And where do I have him in the
• 1:23:11
  middle of that? Let's see Brian G932 dollars JY
• 1:23:18
  greater than Brian friend regardless of accuracy.
• 1:23:21
  Thank. Thank you, Brian.
• 1:23:22
  I think so too, but I appreciate it.
• 1:23:27
  So I do it. You know, I kind of told you I
• 1:23:29
  just kind of put them into four buckets.
• 1:23:32
  My top three just based off of that is Adler, Medeiros and
• 1:23:37
  Hopper. Now God I.
• 1:23:41
  Hate you guys. I say that, but like, I don't
• 1:23:46
  have faith in alert just based off of what's happened this
• 1:23:48
  year. I don't know.
• 1:23:51
  I don't know if Maderos like I, I, I'm starting to wonder like,
• 1:23:55
  you know, how if you like do like fantasy football or
• 1:23:57
  whatever and you haven't like really paid attention And then
• 1:23:59
  like you just pick all of like the guys, you know, from like 3
• 1:24:02
  years ago, right? Instead of the new up and coming
• 1:24:05
  guys. Like, is it, am I, am I thinking
• 1:24:08
  about what Maderos is good at from three years ago?
• 1:24:12
  Yeah, You figured out what? What?
• 1:24:13
  What? I think two people are.
• 1:24:15
  I think a few people are thinking this is Justin from
• 1:24:17
  2021. And.
• 1:24:19
  It seems that narrative seems to be sweeping.
• 1:24:22
  Around, yeah, it does, and I don't feel like he did enough at
• 1:24:24
  the games to justify. That no, he did not.
• 1:24:27
  He's paying people to say this. I don't know why people are
• 1:24:30
  living being like this. But like you go through it, like
• 1:24:34
  Medeiros is good at a lot of, he should be good at a lot of these
• 1:24:38
  events. Yeah, yeah.
• 1:24:40
  And he'll be 7th place. So like I'm.
• 1:24:47
  Struggling with what he would he he would a lot of these.
• 1:24:53
  I would agree though, Hopper and Adler are definitely on the
• 1:24:55
  podium and probably the top 2. I'm surprised you guys haven't
• 1:25:00
  said anything about Colton. Like Colton is my biggest
• 1:25:05
  freaking and put your balls on the deck like type of pick.
• 1:25:09
  I have Colton 9th. I think 9th is fair.
• 1:25:12
  I think between so I haven't met 5th.
• 1:25:14
  I think between 5th and 9th, 9th is fair.
• 1:25:18
  I mean, I I rank Colton down low on what I think will be a run
• 1:25:23
  event. I don't.
• 1:25:26
  Have He's probably not going to be great.
• 1:25:28
  I don't have him great on event one like bottom 10, not the
• 1:25:32
  bottom bottom. So I feel like there's like five
• 1:25:35
  guys. I think he'll be fine on event
• 1:25:37
  one. Top 10.
• 1:25:39
  Yeah. OK, Event 2 again, I don't think
• 1:25:45
  that's one of his better ones. But then like after that like
• 1:25:48
  squat workout. Great.
• 1:25:52
  What's event 4? The I forget right now, Event
• 1:25:59
  four. Yeah, it is.
• 1:26:05
  The row bench press. Yeah.
• 1:26:08
  So like I think would be great at that.
• 1:26:10
  I mean, I'm, I'm I my only concern about that is on the
• 1:26:12
  pegboard. Like does that does he like have
• 1:26:15
  a mess up or is that that an issue Event 6.
• 1:26:21
  He could win that I, I. Think he could win that one?
• 1:26:24
  That's three straight events that he could win and being 8,
• 1:26:28
  he could win. I think he.
• 1:26:28
  Could win that one right So like there's like 3 events where he
• 1:26:32
  and Austin sorry, saying they're the exact same person but like
• 1:26:35
  they're they're three events that they are going to be good
• 1:26:37
  at together. They definitely.
• 1:26:38
  Aren't and I think event 2 they're going to be better than
• 1:26:41
  you think. Yeah.
• 1:26:47
  Yeah, I think it's more about that log clean and press than
• 1:26:49
  people think. And it's so I saw, I saw do it,
• 1:26:51
  Sprague do it in the warm up and I and first of all, it's not and
• 1:26:57
  it is a press like they are not. It's not like a barbell clean
• 1:27:00
  and jerk cycle like they are literally getting it to their
• 1:27:02
  shoulders. They're breathing and they're
• 1:27:04
  pressing it up like it is. It looks like more like strong.
• 1:27:07
  It looks more like strong man. Yeah, and now if they can, no,
• 1:27:13
  it's a big old log. You have to press it now.
• 1:27:16
  I don't know how they're going to be with it, Austin.
• 1:27:19
  This could be something Austin's super awkward with, but if they
• 1:27:22
  can do it, they are going to move faster than the big guys.
• 1:27:29
  Right now, here it is. Let's see.
• 1:27:35
  Oh, you found the the video of them doing it?
• 1:27:38
  Yeah. They actually have this at grid
• 1:27:41
  and I want to say it's exactly the same weight and it's just
• 1:27:44
  two log cleaning jerks like you run out there, do as soon as
• 1:27:47
  fast as you can and then go out there.
• 1:27:50
  I'll tell you right now, we were a lot faster than that.
• 1:27:53
  It is only two. It's not 3 rounds of five, but
• 1:27:56
  but we were we we could touch and go it.
• 1:27:58
  It it is Sprague. So you know, there are people
• 1:28:03
  that are stronger, but he also has longer limbs than a lot too,
• 1:28:08
  right? So like does that create an
• 1:28:10
  issue for for those guys? I think being a little a little
• 1:28:18
  longer helps you with the the log.
• 1:28:20
  It does, no, And that's why I say if.
• 1:28:23
  If they can do it right, like if it's if it's awkward, it's a
• 1:28:28
  different game. Right.
• 1:28:32
  All right, you got Roman 5th. I'm a little surprised he's that
• 1:28:35
  high. Yeah, all you guys lost faith in
• 1:28:37
  Roman. He was third and Mayhem.
• 1:28:39
  He might as well retire. That's cool.
• 1:28:41
  He's he's on the way down. Ricky Girard, you.
• 1:28:43
  Said that at Mayhem Classic too and he beat everybody except for
• 1:28:46
  the 2 short guys. That's.
• 1:28:48
  Right. How do you do with the games?
• 1:28:51
  Not. Good.
• 1:28:51
  Yeah, he was chilling. OK, Ricky Gerard 6th.
• 1:28:56
  He's the winner of the P Score games.
• 1:28:59
  This isn't the games. 4/4 what? That's where I have Ricky.
• 1:29:06
  Ricky, I have him 7th, so I I would actually, I'm in the I'm
• 1:29:09
  in John's camp on this one. Madero 7th talked about him.
• 1:29:14
  Jay Crouch 8th. I have Crouch in fourth. 7th.
• 1:29:20
  OK, All right, So me and struggling with your hands
• 1:29:23
  there, Tyler. So me and Tyler are in agreeance
• 1:29:26
  with Jay. Pat Veldner 9th Why?
• 1:29:29
  Why they hate on Pat? There is no hate on Pat I.
• 1:29:33
  Figured he would be first. There's zero hate on Pat.
• 1:29:35
  That's three years ago, Tyler. I have Pat 6th.
• 1:29:42
  I have him 10th but I could see him pushing up to like.
• 1:29:46
  Yeah, I think Pat could do a lot of different things.
• 1:29:48
  This is where I got him. This.
• 1:29:50
  Is this is where the math shook out?
• 1:29:53
  Chandler Smith 10th and again, like we only know 2/3 of the
• 1:29:57
  workouts. There's still 300 points out
• 1:29:59
  there. The duel can make like change
• 1:30:02
  everything. Like 1 bad event on that.
• 1:30:04
  Your 5th is down. Nobody could guess what the duel
• 1:30:07
  like. Yeah, the.
• 1:30:08
  Duel Pat Pat is usually pretty good at the duel.
• 1:30:11
  He is, which is odd given how big of a screw up he is.
• 1:30:16
  He's not, no. He screws up on the long events
• 1:30:19
  in the very game. I wouldn't consider Pat a screw
• 1:30:22
  up. He just has, he said the.
• 1:30:24
  Biggest fails in CrossFit? Yeah.
• 1:30:27
  But they've never heard like, okay, okay, the obstacle he was
• 1:30:30
  for obstacle course, he was third, right?
• 1:30:33
  What's the what's the other one? The weight plate rolling off of
• 1:30:36
  the thing. Like he was still 4th in that
• 1:30:38
  event. Like like the things you're
• 1:30:40
  thinking about? He was 5.
• 1:30:41
  The things he does is the first event that's a swim or a long
• 1:30:44
  run, and he bombs, right? Chandler Smith, 10th.
• 1:30:50
  This is his favorite competition.
• 1:30:52
  Yeah, I have him 8th James Sprague.
• 1:30:57
  This is the one that this. Is the big one.
• 1:31:00
  This is the 11th. I got him at 3rd.
• 1:31:02
  And hit and people have to people have to understand that
• 1:31:10
  this is not the games if like the you know, the very first
• 1:31:15
  question and the Hiller Bryant thing where they were like, why
• 1:31:19
  is does Rogue like what makes Rogue different in their
• 1:31:22
  programming? If you think of the fitness
• 1:31:24
  pyramid and it goes nutrition, aerobic capacity, meaning that
• 1:31:28
  is the most important thing for fitness physically.
• 1:31:31
  And then, and this is just for fitness, gymnastics, strength,
• 1:31:35
  sport, right? If you're at with Rogue, trade
• 1:31:40
  strength for aerobic capacity. That's how they program.
• 1:31:45
  Strength is the most important thing.
• 1:31:47
  And then gymnastics and then aerobic capacity, it's still
• 1:31:51
  important. You still need it to be fit
• 1:31:53
  aerobic capacity to do well at Rogue, but strength is valued
• 1:31:58
  twice as much as aerobic capacity is.
• 1:32:00
  That's why Hayley Adams always sucks at Rogue and she's.
• 1:32:03
  Fit in the games. Back in the day, Danielle
• 1:32:05
  Brandon's never been good, right James?
• 1:32:08
  His first year, I know he had pneumonia two weeks before, but
• 1:32:10
  he was bad his first year. Like this is not a competition
• 1:32:15
  that is great for aerobic athletes.
• 1:32:17
  It never has been. Emily Rolf is a 9th through 13
• 1:32:23
  type games athlete. She doesn't do sometimes third.
• 1:32:27
  She doesn't do that at the at Rogue.
• 1:32:29
  It's it's it is pro GI, can't run, doesn't know how, doesn't
• 1:32:37
  own a bike. And he's still.
• 1:32:40
  And he's he's always top ten at Rogue.
• 1:32:43
  Except for you it's 12. I I have doing my little
• 1:32:47
  calculations I have sprig 12th so I'm right there with.
• 1:32:52
  You you hated on James at the game.
• 1:32:54
  I I have I have Roman 11. I have Roman 11.
• 1:32:57
  Yeah, yeah. You hate certain people, though.
• 1:32:58
  That's not that's not fair. James it's all hate.
• 1:33:00
  It's my spear campaign. I, I, I don't hate James and I
• 1:33:04
  have him here. I, I, when the math came out, I
• 1:33:07
  was like, that sucks, like people are gonna hate me.
• 1:33:12
  And it's just, this is what it came out to be.
• 1:33:15
  You know you have a 40 back squats at 315.
• 1:33:17
  Yes, James is going to be fine, but is he going to move as fast
• 1:33:22
  as everybody else? No, Right, you have.
• 1:33:25
  Well, you have the you have the the first event log bar muscle
• 1:33:28
  UPS. I know he's starting to get it,
• 1:33:29
  but it took him forever. Is he going to be as good?
• 1:33:32
  Is he going to be as good as others who have gotten?
• 1:33:36
  Back you got the bench press workout, which he's actually a
• 1:33:39
  sneaky good bench presser, but it is body weight and at the
• 1:33:43
  lateral pegboard last year he was not good.
• 1:33:46
  Maybe it's fixed and he's good now but he wasn't good before.
• 1:33:49
  So like what I'm saying like Smith's saying even if you
• 1:33:51
  improve did you improve that much where you're now you're
• 1:33:55
  better than people. The handstand handstand push up
• 1:33:59
  deadlift workout. You can't tell me he's if that's
• 1:34:02
  four O 5, he's gonna. Who's he?
• 1:34:06
  Who's he gonna be? Yeah.
• 1:34:08
  He's not going. To be Colton, he's not going to
• 1:34:11
  be Justin, he's not going to be Pat.
• 1:34:13
  Even if it's kettle bells, he's not going to beat those, right?
• 1:34:15
  Like he doesn't beat, he doesn't beat Gee in that workout.
• 1:34:18
  Oh, I think he still beats Gee. Too much fitness.
• 1:34:22
  Too much fitness. If there's a correlation with
• 1:34:24
  Sprague and when he calls in to Sev on show before a
• 1:34:27
  competition, how he places 'cause he was like, he didn't
• 1:34:32
  seem nervous at all. No, he doesn't and he seems like
• 1:34:36
  he's going to be great and maybe and and I dude, if he does great
• 1:34:40
  at Rogue and I and I when I say great, I'll say top five.
• 1:34:44
  I think that's pretty great. Let's say that, yeah.
• 1:34:48
  Then he's my pick to win the games straight up.
• 1:34:51
  In 2026, he's my pick to win the games.
• 1:34:53
  He. Can do that.
• 1:34:54
  Because this competition is literally geared against him.
• 1:34:58
  Yeah, like overhead squats and and burpees.
• 1:35:01
  He's good, but he's not going to be as fast as anybody else.
• 1:35:03
  Right. It's ranching motion.
• 1:35:04
  Where's where? Other than the long run that we
• 1:35:07
  didn't know about when I made these rankings, we didn't know
• 1:35:09
  we. Don't even know.
• 1:35:10
  We don't even know what that's going to be.
• 1:35:11
  But if it's a long run, like James is going to do good at
• 1:35:14
  that, you know, put him 9th. But but tell me where he's going
• 1:35:19
  to be this awesome guy that he's 3rd place Tyler.
• 1:35:23
  Tell me I. Think he's gotten better at all
• 1:35:25
  the stuff that you said he was bad at.
• 1:35:30
  I think the problem, I think the problem with this is that in the
• 1:35:34
  games, people like Chandler or Gee, suck.
• 1:35:41
  They they don't, yeah, they don't beat him.
• 1:35:43
  The problem is the rogue programming.
• 1:35:44
  Those guys will have their events that they're gonna push
• 1:35:47
  him down Where at the games he might be 11th in a, in a, a
• 1:35:52
  finish out of 30, Here he's 14th out of 20.
• 1:35:56
  He's 14th out of 20, right? And the point spread is so much
• 1:36:01
  different that that kills you from a podium standpoint.
• 1:36:04
  And you have a couple of those and you're knocked out.
• 1:36:06
  Now to John's point, if he does finish top five, I he's he's on
• 1:36:13
  the juice or you don't hate him. Really.
• 1:36:15
  He's on the juice spit. Cannot give James credit to.
• 1:36:19
  Save. Him no.
• 1:36:22
  And and listen, listen, I've had James top five in the last three
• 1:36:27
  competitions we've done right. I picked him to be on the podium
• 1:36:30
  at the games. Like I am not a James Sprague
• 1:36:35
  hater. I believe in James's fitness.
• 1:36:37
  I do think it was the cardio games.
• 1:36:40
  But James is still the fittest man in the world in 2024.
• 1:36:43
  Like he, he backed. Up with another podium the next.
• 1:36:46
  He is that dude. He is.
• 1:36:50
  I'm not again anti James Sprague.
• 1:36:52
  I know spin is Brian friend is they are they are.
• 1:36:58
  I'm not, and this is just where it came out to be.
• 1:37:01
  It truly hurt me to do it. I like James.
• 1:37:05
  Go ahead look, I don't like Gee and I got him freaking doing
• 1:37:10
  great at 12th. This is worst biggest rogue ever
• 1:37:12
  but you. You.
• 1:37:13
  You overcompensate at Rogue is what's going on.
• 1:37:16
  I don't. We'll see what happens.
• 1:37:17
  We'll see what happens. Yeah, let's see, you got Gee and
• 1:37:21
  12. Harry Lightfoot, 13.
• 1:37:25
  Yeah, dude, I don't know what to make a hair like but.
• 1:37:28
  Again, it's the rookie side. Like, I don't, I don't know, Sam
• 1:37:31
  Quant 14th. I can't argue that I have Quant
• 1:37:35
  13th. I don't.
• 1:37:37
  Even care about this. You know, this is your, this is
• 1:37:41
  your expertise. This is where you should get
• 1:37:43
  excited. Yeah, this.
• 1:37:44
  Is like, oh man. Saxon Panjic 16th I had, that's
• 1:37:48
  where I have Saxon BKG, Henrik, Uldis and Fabian.
• 1:37:53
  Yeah, I think at least the bottom four are going to be in
• 1:37:57
  the bottom 4A lot on the events. BK is going to get last.
• 1:38:03
  No. Oldest is going.
• 1:38:04
  To be there, I think Fabian is going to be hard to be last.
• 1:38:09
  I had I. Think I think Fabian is going to
• 1:38:10
  be hard to beat Fabian out for last.
• 1:38:14
  What about Hendrick? Do we think, do we really think
• 1:38:15
  he's healed enough? Enough to be able to be, I
• 1:38:18
  think. That's like.
• 1:38:18
  Six years off, I mean to. Be oldest.
• 1:38:21
  He's had 364 days off after like 18.
• 1:38:25
  Years in CrossFit terms. So I yeah, I don't, I don't know
• 1:38:28
  where his recovery is. He's usually, I mean if he was
• 1:38:33
  full strength and had no issues, he's probably top 15 women.
• 1:38:41
  BK last. Women.
• 1:38:42
  Laura Horvath, How much does she win, John?
• 1:38:46
  How many events? Well, let's run She.
• 1:38:49
  Won four. It was Tia 4, Laura 4, then Tia
• 1:38:53
  won the last one. Let's run through them.
• 1:38:55
  Log press. She won't win.
• 1:38:57
  I think she will win the back squat clean workout.
• 1:39:02
  What's what events after that? You got event, you got the the
• 1:39:08
  log bar muscle up this. One that's event one.
• 1:39:10
  Yeah, not not that one. The in the log clean and press.
• 1:39:15
  I wouldn't like, say she's going to win that one.
• 1:39:16
  But she could win that one. She could win that one.
• 1:39:19
  She got bench press lateral. She won.
• 1:39:21
  Didn't she win last year? She won the.
• 1:39:23
  The power stare. And the dual, yeah.
• 1:39:26
  I think she was, she either won or she was in top 2, so she
• 1:39:28
  probably won. She destroyed everybody in the
• 1:39:33
  pegboard last year, Right. So you got, well, you got back
• 1:39:35
  squat. I already said that one.
• 1:39:38
  Yeah. Then yes, pegboard.
• 1:39:40
  Bench press, I think she'll. Be just fine.
• 1:39:43
  Now the body weight thing does hurt a little bit because I kind
• 1:39:46
  of think Alex is going to win that.
• 1:39:48
  Alex, she could. I think that's one that Alex
• 1:39:51
  could win. I.
• 1:39:52
  Think Alex could beat her because she was good at the
• 1:39:54
  pegboard last year and she's going to bench press?
• 1:39:57
  I really hope that the bench press.
• 1:39:58
  Is not. I hope it's an average of the
• 1:40:01
  weights, not same. They're working weight if it is
• 1:40:05
  not and it is your body weight. This is the That is the worst
• 1:40:11
  event in all of CrossFit history.
• 1:40:14
  That is the that is worse than hitting the freaking nail in the
• 1:40:18
  ground. OK.
• 1:40:20
  That is worse than putting slip and slide shampoo on your
• 1:40:24
  pegboards. That is worse than any sled push
• 1:40:27
  you've ever done, ever. That is worse than having two
• 1:40:33
  Gators on different inclines. There is nothing worse than
• 1:40:38
  having people do a different workout and calling it fair like
• 1:40:45
  they're. It's insane if you say you have
• 1:40:50
  to use your body weight in a competition like this.
• 1:40:54
  That's not, there's not weight classes.
• 1:40:56
  Ortega and CrossFit. That's the beauty of CrossFit.
• 1:41:00
  If we have to, if, if the bigger people have to use their body
• 1:41:05
  weight and bench press and the people who weigh 150 lbs only
• 1:41:08
  have to bench press 150 lbs, then when we do muscle UPS,
• 1:41:12
  those little people have to wear a 30 LB weight vest.
• 1:41:16
  Like that's, that's what you're doing.
• 1:41:18
  That's what you are doing. Imagine if heavy.
• 1:41:22
  Imagine if heavy Isabel is based on.
• 1:41:24
  Imagine if heavy Isabel is based.
• 1:41:25
  On your weight, why is it always bench press that's based off
• 1:41:28
  your body weight? People suck at bench press.
• 1:41:32
  Like people who program that. That's 100.
• 1:41:34
  Percent in people. People who program that way for
• 1:41:37
  anything. In in an actual workout.
• 1:41:40
  Not training actual workouts. If you program that, you don't
• 1:41:44
  know how to be strong people who are who, And I'm not saying this
• 1:41:48
  because I'm the freaking strong guy.
• 1:41:50
  Truly, CrossFit doesn't have body weight categories.
• 1:41:56
  Freaking Chris Spieler. Was a big proponent of I like
• 1:41:59
  doing the same weights as everybody else, like that 220
• 1:42:03
  big guy. If I can beat him at this with
• 1:42:06
  this weight, that means I'm truly like I'm King Dingling.
• 1:42:11
  Just like if he beats me at a ring muscle up workout.
• 1:42:14
  He has earned that and he has worked so hard to be better than
• 1:42:19
  me at something I'm naturally going to be better than him at.
• 1:42:22
  I guess whenever we row from now on it says 1000m ski right in
• 1:42:25
  the beginning colted you only get you only have to do 700
• 1:42:29
  meters here short because you only weigh 190 Yeah you're
• 1:42:33
  you're shorter, so you don't your range of.
• 1:42:34
  Motion on the rower. Is you don't get as many long
• 1:42:37
  strokes on that, so you. Row less if it is body weight.
• 1:42:41
  Truly, this is the worst event. That's ever been programmed in
• 1:42:45
  all of CrossFit. And I don't care if Josh is
• 1:42:49
  listening, if Chris is listening, if Katie's listening
• 1:42:53
  or if Bill is listening. It is the worst event in all of
• 1:42:57
  CrossFit period, and I cannot believe that was allowed.
• 1:43:02
  I hope so. Badly Tyler that it is just
• 1:43:05
  average bench press weight and like average across the board
• 1:43:10
  and I'm totally fine with that totally fine with that that's
• 1:43:14
  great like like go get it after like I'm.
• 1:43:16
  Totally fine, but if it's. Not that it's terrible.
• 1:43:20
  And Taylor, that's why you're not strong, buddy.
• 1:43:23
  Go. Ahead and say you're Max.
• 1:43:24
  Bench press. It's not worth saying.
• 1:43:27
  I I literally am interested how this is stupid.
• 1:43:31
  It's. That's average body weight.
• 1:43:35
  Just talked about average body weight.
• 1:43:36
  Yeah. And they didn't get out of there
• 1:43:38
  if they're going. To be retired at at regionals
• 1:43:40
  they they found it was 195 was the bench press it was.
• 1:43:44
  The average body weight of the entire field because you can't
• 1:43:46
  do that. It's fine in training, but it's
• 1:43:49
  not, it's not fine to do it in competition.
• 1:43:51
  It's like, it's like with the the flip sled that you and I
• 1:43:54
  did, John. Like I hung better than I
• 1:43:56
  thought I was going to hang in that and I was stoked.
• 1:43:58
  You know why? Because you're way fucking
• 1:43:59
  stronger than me. So I know that I can hang on
• 1:44:02
  that thing even though I'm not, even though I'm not the same
• 1:44:05
  strength as you. So it's like if we and if you
• 1:44:07
  did a £500 sled because you weigh less than me, right?
• 1:44:11
  Then we're not doing the same workout, right?
• 1:44:13
  It's it's stupid. Or, I guess, my deficit.
• 1:44:18
  On the handstand, push up gets to be.
• 1:44:19
  Less because I'm bigger. No, you know what I mean.
• 1:44:25
  And that specific workout, Tyler, yeah, back to Laura, I
• 1:44:33
  think he's. Mad 'cause we bombed their
• 1:44:35
  thing. I think that's what he's doing
• 1:44:36
  right now. Yeah, you're you're making
• 1:44:39
  yourself sound not. Smart.
• 1:44:42
  And you're better than this, Taylor.
• 1:44:43
  I'm. Telling you this right now.
• 1:44:45
  You're better than this. This is why.
• 1:44:48
  I can't get into the L4 real quick.
• 1:44:52
  Lee where? Where does?
• 1:44:54
  Oh my God. Lee the last 999 of the night,
• 1:45:00
  the Alex comeback. Good night y'all.
• 1:45:05
  Good night, Lee. She makes you guys look.
• 1:45:07
  She oh, look at lied one more 999 for Alex and Ariel on the
• 1:45:14
  podium. Lee's the greatest.
• 1:45:16
  She's like, you know what you slice sons of bitches?
• 1:45:18
  Here's them down on one. Yeah, exactly.
• 1:45:22
  All right, women. Laura Horvath, is there any
• 1:45:27
  anything in the world that like any scenario that Laura is not
• 1:45:30
  winning, she sucks? I think the handstand push ups
• 1:45:34
  could be a deficit. It's it they haven't said
• 1:45:37
  anything. So if it's it could be a deficit
• 1:45:41
  and she'll take if she takes a zero in that workout, then I
• 1:45:45
  think she still wins. Unfortunately it's it's like and
• 1:45:51
  I'm. I don't wish to say that, but.
• 1:45:54
  Kind. Of like.
• 1:45:55
  Jeff a little bit. This Rogues programming is made
• 1:46:00
  for Laura. It's made.
• 1:46:02
  For her, yeah, Olivia's going to beat her the the next one.
• 1:46:08
  Alex Kazan. 2nd. Place.
• 1:46:15
  Too soon. For a second place prediction.
• 1:46:17
  But we, we, if we're going to talk about this, we have to.
• 1:46:19
  Understand your bias. Just like Sprague, I hate Alex
• 1:46:25
  Kazan. Move on.
• 1:46:26
  Go ahead. You are.
• 1:46:28
  I'm just saying you're. Big Alex Kazan hater, you're a.
• 1:46:32
  Sensationalist who just looks for bullshit and you just hate
• 1:46:35
  on certain athletes that's. Exactly right.
• 1:46:39
  Yeah, I I do think she's a little bit high.
• 1:46:42
  But this is the word the math shook out.
• 1:46:45
  I'm not so actually heard him at all.
• 1:46:48
  Were tied and Olivia Kerstetter was like 4 points behind them.
• 1:46:53
  So I basically, yeah, I like Alex more and I went and I went
• 1:46:58
  with that. Yeah, yeah.
• 1:46:59
  Absolutely. That's.
• 1:47:00
  That's exactly what happened. I did text Alex it like, hey,
• 1:47:07
  how is your fitness? Because.
• 1:47:10
  Because I'm about to make my predictions.
• 1:47:14
  And she said she was feeling good.
• 1:47:15
  So I was like, all right. Well.
• 1:47:18
  She's not going to say oh shit, don't make me look bad.
• 1:47:22
  I. I mean if you watch the HW.
• 1:47:25
  HWPO video that was just put. Out Kotler talked about how
• 1:47:29
  she's gotten better at machines, she's gotten better upside down
• 1:47:32
  overhead pressing but she only started squatting like fully 3
• 1:47:37
  weeks ago hold on Taylor Taylor I want you to text Jr. and.
• 1:47:43
  Ask him, because I will bet you $1,000,000 that he feels the
• 1:47:48
  exact same way. Called Daddy, so all.
• 1:47:52
  All of all. Of these insults and childish
• 1:47:55
  argument. That you want to.
• 1:47:56
  Do right now. Go ask Jr. and you see what he
• 1:48:00
  says and then shut up. Go ahead.
• 1:48:08
  We're. Not, we're not.
• 1:48:08
  We're not. We're not entertaining.
• 1:48:09
  We're not entertaining him anymore.
• 1:48:13
  But she always has been back squatting for I think 4 to maybe
• 1:48:15
  4. To six weeks, I think it might
• 1:48:16
  be what she said. Like the last three weeks.
• 1:48:18
  She's been like full steam on everything.
• 1:48:22
  Is a month to month and a half enough?
• 1:48:25
  To get to the level of. Podium against this field?
• 1:48:30
  No chance dude, she's had way too long off.
• 1:48:36
  Dude, I don't know, I'm just telling you she should be really
• 1:48:38
  good. She should be really good at a
• 1:48:39
  lot of these events. You were so credible in the man
• 1:48:42
  based on the, based on the workouts that they based on what
• 1:48:44
  we've seen. If Alex Kazan didn't get just
• 1:48:48
  absolutely smashed by another vehicle, whatever, five months
• 1:48:52
  ago, I would completely agree with you that second place is
• 1:48:55
  where she should be. I don't OK time out.
• 1:48:59
  I I don't think it is where she is in a recovery.
• 1:49:03
  So so. A fully.
• 1:49:06
  Like equipped, like regular Alex Kazan.
• 1:49:10
  You think this is a fair placement?
• 1:49:12
  2 whole legs. Yeah, but she.
• 1:49:13
  OK, OK. I think we're on the same.
• 1:49:17
  Page. Why are you so high?
• 1:49:20
  On her, I'm just I'm. Banking that she's full on Alex
• 1:49:25
  Kazan and then if. She's not.
• 1:49:26
  She's. Wasn't a text message.
• 1:49:29
  No, not because of that text message.
• 1:49:30
  Just just, you know, I. Just I just.
• 1:49:32
  I just want it. Just want it to happen.
• 1:49:36
  I made this. Assuming she is at her.
• 1:49:39
  Full capacity. And if she's not?
• 1:49:42
  And if she's not, based on her recovery.
• 1:49:44
  And then if she's not, she's not.
• 1:49:46
  That's right. Lauren.
• 1:49:48
  Torresola, JY. Has $1,000,000.
• 1:49:50
  I don't. But I'm that confident he's
• 1:49:52
  $2.00 closer now. Emma, Tall, Olivia.
• 1:49:57
  Curseder Maddie Sturt running out the top. 5.
• 1:50:00
  Oh, Maddie pretty high. I have.
• 1:50:04
  I have Maddie 4th. I've not yet ranked Maddie.
• 1:50:08
  I do have Olivia winning, but. Said that earlier and you?
• 1:50:15
  Guys just blew right past it. Sorry, I I did not hear it.
• 1:50:19
  I didn't hear it. I think Olivia is the the.
• 1:50:21
  Horvat Killer. I don't think she's ready.
• 1:50:24
  She going to put her. Right in the grave, dude.
• 1:50:27
  I don't. I don't think that's the.
• 1:50:28
  Case, but I'm. Glad you I'm here for.
• 1:50:32
  It Olivia, I believe in you. I dude I would love.
• 1:50:35
  That Hefner would love that dude.
• 1:50:37
  I have Olivia cursed at her 4th which.
• 1:50:39
  Is the best she's ever done in at Rogue.
• 1:50:41
  But I'm over here making you look like A and Hefner and
• 1:50:44
  Hefner goes. I think it's trash.
• 1:50:46
  I'm like. What do you want for?
• 1:50:48
  Me, Jacob. I got your back.
• 1:50:50
  Jacob, I heard. Yeah, there it is.
• 1:50:53
  I heard. John Young had to take the third
• 1:50:55
  grade twice. His female leader reported as.
• 1:50:58
  Crap. Look at look at Pat Sprague's
• 1:51:00
  comment. John, do you want?
• 1:51:03
  To replace a. Little wager and then look at
• 1:51:05
  that look. No.
• 1:51:10
  That's how confident I am. In that I was upset about it,
• 1:51:12
  but I think this is a fair placement for.
• 1:51:15
  Emma Tall. A fair placement for Olivia
• 1:51:16
  Kerstetter. Really.
• 1:51:18
  I feel really good about my women's rankings other than I am
• 1:51:21
  taking a chance on Alex. I do think Emma Lawson might be
• 1:51:25
  a little low. You think?
• 1:51:28
  Well, she's. Got a risk factor baked into her
• 1:51:30
  too. Which that.
• 1:51:33
  Her back, I mean, she's had back issues and.
• 1:51:36
  This is a lot. Of.
• 1:51:38
  Hard loading over and over again.
• 1:51:42
  True, that's fair. I I just think again, if, if if
• 1:51:48
  she's. Fully healthy, a lot of these
• 1:51:50
  things. Line up for her very well.
• 1:51:52
  She's one of the best at the bar at the log muscle UPS.
• 1:51:56
  I agree. A lot of these they get they,
• 1:51:57
  you know, they line up Ariel Lowen 7th, so Yep.
• 1:52:06
  I I really don't disagree with that.
• 1:52:08
  Lucy Campbell. Yeah. 8th.
• 1:52:12
  Fit enough, she's fit enough to. She's only done.
• 1:52:14
  Well, the like, she's what won. Wadapalooza. 2nd at the games.
• 1:52:19
  Yeah, this is. This is It's the same thing with
• 1:52:23
  James. Lucy's literally the same thing
• 1:52:26
  with James. And again, like the problem is
• 1:52:30
  there's there's Tia, there's Tia, right?
• 1:52:33
  But if she were to get. Top.
• 1:52:36
  Three, if she were to podium because there's less competitive
• 1:52:38
  women than there are men. If she were to podium at this,
• 1:52:42
  which and I don't think she will, but if she does, I think
• 1:52:45
  she's the fittest woman in the world.
• 1:52:47
  Not Tia, like. And there's almost a gap.
• 1:52:53
  Yeah, Lucy. To me, Lucy has not gotten like
• 1:52:57
  you've seen some sort of crazy. Improvement from Sprague that
• 1:53:01
  you've that you've not really seen in any other athlete?
• 1:53:03
  Like he got way better at everything he sucked at over the
• 1:53:06
  last two years, right? I think that's harder to do for
• 1:53:10
  women in general. Lucy's a little bit older.
• 1:53:14
  I've not seen the same thing from Lucy.
• 1:53:16
  She has gotten way better, which is crazy because she had a whole
• 1:53:19
  injury, but I've just not seen the same crazy improvement from
• 1:53:23
  her that I've seen some from Sprague.
• 1:53:25
  So while I don't agree with Sprague's placement with John, I
• 1:53:29
  do agree with it here for Lucy. Yeah, I just, I feel like I put
• 1:53:35
  in Campbell. I have her 6th, I have her 7th.
• 1:53:40
  So yeah, I mean, right in that same range.
• 1:53:41
  I I think I keep ranking her. Thinking that something's going
• 1:53:44
  to. Like her her wrist or something
• 1:53:46
  of that nature is going to impact her enough where she
• 1:53:50
  doesn't do well but she keeps proving otherwise.
• 1:53:54
  She's really good. I think it like knowing when to
• 1:53:56
  not not press the. Problem is when the only 20
• 1:54:00
  athletes if you don't do that a couple times.
• 1:54:02
  Yeah, you're done. Yeah.
• 1:54:04
  And I'm interested to see like that log, she said, pressing.
• 1:54:07
  This way is way harder. For her than this way right,
• 1:54:10
  which is good for her for a clean and jerk.
• 1:54:12
  It's good for her for handstand push ups blah blah blah right.
• 1:54:15
  But that log press you are pressing this way like there's
• 1:54:20
  just there's a lot of things that can just get in her way.
• 1:54:23
  Yeah, Danny Spiegel 9th. That sounds about right.
• 1:54:27
  I have her 9th Daniel. Brandon 10th.
• 1:54:29
  I have Daniel Brandon 10th. I have 10th.
• 1:54:32
  Wow. Dome at 11th.
• 1:54:34
  I have Abby at 6th. OK, All right.
• 1:54:39
  You and Hiller. She just lets you down every.
• 1:54:43
  Time she I did, but I just keep. She does, but I just keep.
• 1:54:49
  On doing it. Alexis Raptis in. 12th.
• 1:54:54
  Yep. You got high.
• 1:54:58
  A lot of a lot of people think. I'm low you.
• 1:55:01
  Could be like depending on it's which.
• 1:55:03
  Alex shows up. Alexis, I have her I.
• 1:55:06
  Have her 7th, I have her seventh.
• 1:55:09
  Wow. OK.
• 1:55:11
  I think it's fine. I think that's fine.
• 1:55:15
  Again. If.
• 1:55:16
  She's at 100%. I think a lot of these.
• 1:55:19
  Things line up for her well, but this year has not shown that
• 1:55:24
  that's been the case. So right dude, I just the events
• 1:55:28
  dude I just like she's not the best squatter.
• 1:55:32
  I actually think the back squat event is going to be really bad
• 1:55:35
  for her. The hold on.
• 1:55:41
  I don't. Think she Well, it's gonna be
• 1:55:43
  bad for. Her, but there's people that are
• 1:55:44
  worse. Than it, than her.
• 1:55:49
  Danielle Haley. Dude, I think it's.
• 1:55:53
  I think. It's light enough.
• 1:55:54
  Danielle can handle it. Danielle.
• 1:55:55
  'S a very big threshold. Person OK, pegboard's good for
• 1:56:01
  her. Pegboard handstand walk.
• 1:56:04
  Or the handstand push ups. Squat burpees is good, yeah.
• 1:56:08
  Yeah, so I mean, I think there's enough that she could she could
• 1:56:10
  squeak into. That top ten, I don't think.
• 1:56:12
  The log press is going. To be good for her, the dad,
• 1:56:15
  like like. Yeah, her best event could get
• 1:56:18
  ruined. Like if her back is broken, then
• 1:56:20
  yeah, that won't help. Grace Walton, 13th.
• 1:56:26
  She's a rookie at the at Rogue. Ivor 11th.
• 1:56:31
  Brooke Wells 14th Ivor 13th. However, do you have Brooke not
• 1:56:39
  ranked? I went down to.
• 1:56:42
  Top 10 because. OK, that's what's in the heat.
• 1:56:45
  One app please. Download the heat one app
• 1:56:46
  that's. That's fair.
• 1:56:47
  Haley Adams, 15th. Hey, boys.
• 1:56:52
  I know. He won't apologize, but go ahead
• 1:56:54
  and look at the chat. Spinal.
• 1:56:57
  It's spinal. That's what I got in the chat.
• 1:56:59
  I don't know. What's going on?
• 1:57:01
  He's talking. About in the locker room.
• 1:57:06
  Interesting, not a fan. Haley Adams, 15th go.
• 1:57:13
  Ahead. Yeah, Do you?
• 1:57:14
  Think I'm high or low or just right?
• 1:57:18
  High. For.
• 1:57:21
  Haley. Yes, you ever.
• 1:57:24
  What do you what? Do you have her?
• 1:57:26
  I have her. 19th. I don't think these line up for
• 1:57:29
  her well. I have her near the bottom in
• 1:57:33
  each of them now granted again I don't try to like rank granular
• 1:57:37
  so it's like bottom 5 on some of these.
• 1:57:39
  Sure me either. She hasn't been good on the on
• 1:57:43
  the log muscle UPS like. She's.
• 1:57:46
  Improving all of those, everybody's improved on all.
• 1:57:49
  It's a good. It's a good.
• 1:57:50
  Useful. Excuse.
• 1:57:51
  Isn't it John? No, it's not.
• 1:57:53
  I'm making fun of you. I just don't.
• 1:57:55
  I just don't know where like. Back squats going to be bad
• 1:57:58
  bench press. Is going to be bad.
• 1:58:01
  I actually think the body weight bench press thing helps Haley,
• 1:58:05
  but the I don't. Think she was good at the
• 1:58:09
  pegboard last year either? No she wasn't.
• 1:58:12
  But if she can. Move it, not the backswat one.
• 1:58:15
  There's too many reps. But the deadlift one, if she can
• 1:58:19
  move it, she will beat people at that workout.
• 1:58:23
  The long run, she'll be good at. She won't win probably, but
• 1:58:26
  she'll be good at and then there's going to be a barbell
• 1:58:29
  cycling workout. The barbell cycling workout's
• 1:58:31
  probably going to be event 9. It's going to be really quick.
• 1:58:36
  They they always end on a moderate barbell cycling workout
• 1:58:40
  and she's usually pretty good at those.
• 1:58:45
  Look up anyone, she's usually pretty good and.
• 1:58:47
  And so that that's what I'm baking into it.
• 1:58:50
  Like, I get what's what's out is not the greatest, but if it's
• 1:58:56
  like a legless rope climb and you're running or whatever in
• 1:58:59
  the duel, she'll be fine. There's gonna be events where
• 1:59:01
  she's going to do well and then there's a lot of events where
• 1:59:05
  she's not gonna do well. And that's, and that's 15th.
• 1:59:08
  Yeah, I just have her kind of finishing like in that 16th.
• 1:59:13
  Range probably a lot right on on enough events.
• 1:59:16
  But to your point, we don't know what event 5 the duel really is
• 1:59:22
  or the run. Or.
• 1:59:24
  Event not so like she can move up easily to be 15th if those
• 1:59:28
  come out in her favor Paige Rogers 16th yeah I know I know a
• 1:59:33
  lot of people think she should be ranked a lot higher but.
• 1:59:37
  You have to. Understand, like, she is a
• 1:59:41
  game's athlete, but she beat Maddie Fouts and Reese
• 1:59:44
  Littlewood, and the strength is not where it is.
• 1:59:47
  Yeah. And she said strength is the
• 1:59:49
  last thing that's. Kind of not had like came.
• 1:59:52
  Back fully like I know she did really good at crash but she
• 1:59:56
  didn't beat any of these women and these women are better than
• 1:59:59
  those women. There was no stand out strong
• 2:00:03
  strong female in at the in the crash.
• 2:00:05
  Pool was there, Riley Beebe, and she just kind of destroyed.
• 2:00:11
  Everybody. And even her she's.
• 2:00:12
  She's not really for the world. It was just the squatting,
• 2:00:16
  right? That good?
• 2:00:19
  Yeah. And.
• 2:00:19
  Then man in anganese. I thought that I think this is
• 2:00:22
  low. Yeah, I have man in 14th.
• 2:00:26
  Yeah, she usually does. She yes, and I can't too,
• 2:00:30
  honestly. I can't too.
• 2:00:31
  Honestly, she usually does pretty good at Rogue I I just
• 2:00:40
  wanted to put the other two ahead of her, Paige Samenza,
• 2:00:45
  Emily Rolf and Elisa Fuliano round.
• 2:00:47
  Out the bottom. Three, you're wrong about Elisa.
• 2:00:51
  I understand why you have her there, but you're wrong.
• 2:00:54
  Where do you have her? I would put her probably at 16th
• 2:00:58
  or 15th. OK so if I'm wrong by 4 spots
• 2:01:02
  does it matter? No, but.
• 2:01:04
  I'm I'm just pushing back. I don't think she's, I don't
• 2:01:06
  think she's. I just don't.
• 2:01:09
  I mean, anything handstand gymnastics, See, but there is, I
• 2:01:12
  mean, she's really strong. She is really strong.
• 2:01:15
  She's a good barbell cycler. Yeah, she's she's good at
• 2:01:18
  Olympic lifting. Yeah, that's fair.
• 2:01:20
  And that's only going to be in one event.
• 2:01:22
  That hasn't been announced yet. Maybe fair?
• 2:01:26
  It's the rogue is brute strength stuff.
• 2:01:28
  Man, it's not. The barbell cycling might be.
• 2:01:31
  Thrusters this like, you know, they're already doing a, they're
• 2:01:35
  already. Doing a log clean and press.
• 2:01:36
  They're doing a lot of overhead squats, right?
• 2:01:38
  Before on Sunday. I don't know if they'll do
• 2:01:39
  another snatch on Sunday. Sumo Della 5 pools this is
• 2:01:43
  coming. They could do that.
• 2:01:45
  Is Elisa an? Amazing sumo dead live high
• 2:01:47
  pool. She's short.
• 2:01:48
  She's very good. The Italians are.
• 2:01:50
  Great at that. That's what I've heard.
• 2:01:53
  Aliens. That's where the move got
• 2:01:55
  invented, actually. You know when?
• 2:01:57
  When? Yours came out.
• 2:01:58
  I think I when. I saw Alex in second.
• 2:02:00
  I was like, man, these. Things are crazy.
• 2:02:04
  We're not that. We're not that far off.
• 2:02:05
  I don't think it's probably the best comment.
• 2:02:09
  We've had all it on it. I I.
• 2:02:14
  Don't really, I mean. Outside of a few.
• 2:02:17
  So we disagree with Alex. I'm kind of putting my neck on
• 2:02:20
  the line with Colton. I guess we disagree with Adler.
• 2:02:25
  I'm with you on Adler. I have.
• 2:02:26
  I have Adler. OK, OK.
• 2:02:28
  Tyler disagrees with that. Disagree with Sprague?
• 2:02:31
  And then no spin's with me. On spray, but that's, you know,
• 2:02:34
  you take that with a grain of. Salt like I.
• 2:02:36
  I, I, I, it actually makes me feel a little bit like he's
• 2:02:39
  going to do better than that now because.
• 2:02:40
  Spin's got him. There but but you're going to
• 2:02:45
  trust Tyler's ranking. No, I'm not trusting it.
• 2:02:48
  It just, you know, it's a. Bad omen, but.
• 2:02:52
  That is fair. Tyler hasn't ranked high, he's
• 2:02:54
  probably going to be low so that should make me sway back.
• 2:02:57
  Sprague, don't go in near any outlets or touch any knives this
• 2:03:00
  weekend. Please just cut.
• 2:03:03
  Yeah, 5 bucks from keeping it real.
• 2:03:04
  We are now on Episode 2. This is so.
• 2:03:06
  Long Ecuador. You can turn it off Quito.
• 2:03:13
  Yeah, actually you can turn Quito.
• 2:03:16
  What is? Capital of Ecuador.
• 2:03:17
  Tyler. Quito What's the capital of?
• 2:03:22
  Ecuador Quito. Quito there it.
• 2:03:29
  Is no carbs. We need.
• 2:03:32
  We need to to. To move on, let's.
• 2:03:34
  Go blind. Rankings.
• 2:03:35
  Let's go. Blind Rankings.
• 2:03:36
  Then we made Tyler put it on. Put it on.
• 2:03:38
  Oh wow, this. Is my favorite part.
• 2:03:40
  Dude I love doing this. I'm so excited.
• 2:03:42
  For this, this is my favorite show of the other of the show.
• 2:03:45
  My favorite part of the show. Let's see, here we go.
• 2:03:53
  This I'll get more. Comfortable with this as we go,
• 2:03:56
  but I don't love it. Looks good.
• 2:04:02
  All right. This week's blind rankings.
• 2:04:04
  We've done the games. This is not should have been the
• 2:04:07
  games. This should have been Rogue
• 2:04:11
  2026. How about that?
• 2:04:13
  How about that? This is where.
• 2:04:16
  Rogue should. Go next year 'cause they're not.
• 2:04:19
  Gonna be in Scotland. So these are these are different
• 2:04:22
  locations. That remember not.
• 2:04:23
  To say it, don't say it. Spin.
• 2:04:24
  I have to, Katie told. Yeah, yeah, Katie told me where.
• 2:04:28
  The five places they're gonna look.
• 2:04:30
  For they're considering you guys are gonna rank what, those five
• 2:04:33
  places she told you. Did she really tell you?
• 2:04:35
  Yeah, she just. She called me up and was like,
• 2:04:37
  hey I. Know I'm really busy with rogue
• 2:04:39
  but. Here's here's what you should do
• 2:04:42
  for blind rankings. Yeah.
• 2:04:43
  All right, so here we go. First one, OK, they won the
• 2:04:49
  World Cup. They're good at soccer.
• 2:04:51
  They win the world. Cup a lot, Manchester.
• 2:04:54
  That's not a World Premier League team.
• 2:04:59
  Ronald. Ronald.
• 2:05:00
  Nino is from here. Oh yes, for El Nino, Spain.
• 2:05:08
  No, I think you're thinking of Ronaldo.
• 2:05:10
  And that's Portugal. But.
• 2:05:15
  I don't want to use. I don't want to.
• 2:05:17
  Yeah, there we go. There we.
• 2:05:18
  Go good job where? Are you going?
• 2:05:19
  You got to be quick, dude. I think it would be pretty sick.
• 2:05:23
  6. Really.
• 2:05:28
  I don't want to go like. Brazilians love CrossFit, man
• 2:05:32
  it. Would be cool to watch and they
• 2:05:33
  would root for ghee so hard. The Olympics.
• 2:05:36
  Went over so well. There.
• 2:05:42
  Come on man, let's go. Three fine, I just think the.
• 2:05:46
  Fans would be great. They.
• 2:05:48
  Would be they would really enjoy it.
• 2:05:50
  It'd be good for. Them Pat Lang, 999.
• 2:05:53
  Can you guys tell Taylor I miss him?
• 2:05:55
  He won't return my. Calls.
• 2:05:57
  No, he doesn't return mine either.
• 2:05:59
  It's fine. All right, Number. 2 all.
• 2:06:02
  Right, here we go. OK.
• 2:06:06
  Oh dude, OK. A lot of strong manner from
• 2:06:08
  here, Thor. Yeah, I'll come.
• 2:06:11
  There you go. Iceland would be cool.
• 2:06:14
  They could do a. Lot with the landscape in.
• 2:06:15
  Iceland, victorious destination. Nowhere to stay.
• 2:06:20
  Nowhere to stay. Yeah, I don't think we could.
• 2:06:22
  Go. Didn't they have that?
• 2:06:23
  I heard. Annual.
• 2:06:24
  Annual. House the entire fan base.
• 2:06:28
  They had like this exposition thing where like Alex Smith went
• 2:06:31
  against the strong men there one time.
• 2:06:33
  Do you? You've seen those videos, right?
• 2:06:35
  Where him and Thor were cleaning like the same weight?
• 2:06:38
  Yeah. Went up a ladder.
• 2:06:39
  Yeah. 5 lbs. I would say five.
• 2:06:44
  Wow. Why do you hate?
• 2:06:46
  Iceland. It's just, I don't think it's
• 2:06:48
  going. To be in it, very entertaining,
• 2:06:50
  but it's beautiful. It's beautiful, cool.
• 2:06:52
  But like, you're going to be inside the whole time.
• 2:06:55
  Here inside of Scotland. Everybody likes Scotland.
• 2:06:57
  Scotland is worse than Iceland in my opinion.
• 2:07:02
  Maybe. I I think I mean going in.
• 2:07:05
  November going in, October in. Iceland going in October,
• 2:07:08
  November could. Be tough, yeah, but OK, All
• 2:07:14
  right, 4 All right. Let's.
• 2:07:15

  We don't. Know, like, I'm pretty confident
• 2:08:27
  that there's not going to be. That much better than like
• 2:08:30
  Australia especially like we have to pretend that Wingo one,
• 2:08:33

• 2:10:00
  The number 2. Oh, Tyler.
• 2:10:03
  Oh no, you. No, no, this is better 'cause.
• 2:10:06
  We were, yeah. OK, OK, OK.
• 2:10:08
  They have a great they have a great mall here.
• 2:10:17
  The mall is great, Columbus. Yeah, yes, Sir.
• 2:10:21
  Yeah, going to Rogue. HQ.
• 2:10:23
  That would be pretty. Good.
• 2:10:24
  For two thank you. I think Columbus is great.
• 2:10:26
  We. Did a great job it.
• 2:10:28
  Was good. There it is, Australia won Rogue
• 2:10:32
  HQ. #2 #3 Brazil, 4 Iceland and five South Korea.
• 2:10:38
  If you were going to pick one of these, where do you think Rogue
• 2:10:41
  would actually go? Probably back to Columbus.
• 2:10:46
  Yeah, it would go back. It's just the easiest.
• 2:10:49
  It's just. It's just.
• 2:10:50
  I think they go to. Australia.
• 2:10:52
  That would. Be definitely not going to Korea
• 2:10:54
  if we could. Go.
• 2:10:56
  It would be, really. Fun.
• 2:10:57
  Yeah. I mean, I'm they're not going to
• 2:11:00
  do much sales in Australia though, they don't have a.
• 2:11:03
  Outfit. Out there, do they?
• 2:11:05
  Not yet expansion, that's right. I don't I I my pick.
• 2:11:11
  Is they go to Australia I think. Australian and.
• 2:11:14
  Brazilian vans are. The best out of all the fans?
• 2:11:17
  That's right. So that's it.
• 2:11:20
  That's blind rankings and just real.
• 2:11:22
  Quick, the Rogue. Echo Ski is coming out right
• 2:11:27
  before Black Friday. Red handles.
• 2:11:29
  Everybody likes red handles, so for Christmas it is pretty cool.
• 2:11:34
  So yeah, you get the the Rogue ski.
• 2:11:36
  That looks kind of cool. And I think.
• 2:11:38
  The the fan squat machine looks pretty sweet too.
• 2:11:47
  So rogue. Just taking over the world.
• 2:11:52
  One machine. Copy at a time.
• 2:11:55
  So I, I, I really hope like in construction they were like,
• 2:12:00
  they were like, how do? We make a ski erg and then then
• 2:12:03
  they just make it like the same as the concept twos and then
• 2:12:07
  they go wait, wait, wait, let's let's paint the handles for it
• 2:12:11
  and. Then they just called it and.
• 2:12:14
  Then they just called it Rogue Echo Ski and.
• 2:12:17
  Like it's literally the same. I'm not saying that's what they
• 2:12:20
  did, but it would just be really funny.
• 2:12:22
  But wait. First of all.
• 2:12:25
  The the the giant wheels like because I have.
• 2:12:27
  The rogue rower the. Giant wheels are so much easier
• 2:12:31
  than moving on the the little bitty wheels.
• 2:12:34
  Yeah, and it's even worse when you have to move the the tiny,
• 2:12:37
  tiny wheels on the skier. Like having.
• 2:12:39
  The big ass wheels would be great.
• 2:12:40
  It's like like when you're actually moving it?
• 2:12:42
  Yeah, when you actually have to move it across the floor.
• 2:12:45
  Like if there's any kind of like crease or gap or anything like
• 2:12:48
  it. The wheel gets stuck with the
• 2:12:50
  Concept 21, so it's affiliate friendly 'cause yeah, if you
• 2:12:53
  have an affiliate with skis, those skis.
• 2:12:56
  Don't and they they technically they they could be attached to
• 2:12:59
  they could be attached to the rig.
• 2:13:00
  So if you're an. Affiliate you could technically
• 2:13:03
  like not keep like take up a floor space if you want to
• 2:13:07
  attach them like carry them out and for the day that you do ski
• 2:13:10
  that would be pretty cool so that's it we've we've gone
• 2:13:14
