  And so what, in an hour or so,
• 2:22
  we'll get to see Sarah
• 2:24
  Sigmund's daughter with her
• 2:25
  last shot to make the CrossFit Games.
• 2:29
  So super stoked about that.
• 2:32
  We actually get to watch
• 2:33
  some competition today.
• 2:33
  It's been a slow,
• 2:34
  slow news week in the
• 2:36
  CrossFit space as
• 2:38
  everybody's just kind of
• 2:39
  prepping for these four
• 2:40
  events this weekend.
• 2:44
  So, yeah,
• 2:46
  I did notice that the Savant
• 2:48
  podcast had a stream test out,
• 2:51
  testing out all their
• 2:52
  equipment as they're going
• 2:53
  to go live tomorrow with
• 2:55
  the Syndicate Crown.
• 2:56
  Hopefully everything is
• 3:00
  going well with that.
• 3:02
  The couple minutes I tuned in,
• 3:04
  they were having a couple camera issues,
• 3:06
  but I'm sure they'll get
• 3:06
  all those ironed out by the
• 3:08
  time tomorrow rolls around.
• 3:13
  Ken Walters,
• 3:14
  even though she isn't a top-thirty,
• 3:16
  it sure would be nice to
• 3:17
  see Sarah Sigmundsdottir
• 3:18
  make it on her way out.
• 3:24
  What's up, Craig?
• 3:26
  Sarah,
• 3:27
  do we know if you have to be a
• 3:28
  member to watch all weekend?
• 3:29
  I do not know if you have to be a member.
• 3:33
  I know that that is what
• 3:35
  started some debate on the
• 3:37
  Be Friendly Fitness
• 3:38
  broadcast yesterday or two days ago.
• 3:42
  but I don't know if that's
• 3:43
  for real or not.
• 3:46
  Um,
• 3:47
  they may be doing the test just on the
• 3:49
  members only page.
• 3:51
  So they're not broadcasting
• 3:52
  live as they're testing out
• 3:54
  equipment to the world.
• 3:59
  Uh,
• 3:59
  Craig says rebel renegade games
• 4:01
  coverage is great so far.
• 4:02
  Well, all we have is the teams up yet, but,
• 4:05
  um,
• 4:05
  I did notice like it's a really
• 4:07
  intimate setting, very small arena, uh,
• 4:13
  Yeah, Craig, you missed it.
• 4:14
  We actually were showing the
• 4:15
  broadcast at the top of the show.
• 4:23
  But it's a very intimate setting.
• 4:24
  I actually have it up
• 4:25
  running on my other screen.
• 4:29
  It doesn't look very long,
• 4:30
  and I kind of wanted to...
• 4:35
  talk about that too uh it
• 4:38
  syndicate crown has
• 4:39
  shortened their floor uh
• 4:40
  this year and we can we can
• 4:42
  take a look at that um as
• 4:47
  well uh dense updates
• 4:51
  actually posted a uh real um
• 4:59
  here let me pause it uh
• 5:02
  where she shows the floor
• 5:04
  and it is much much smaller
• 5:06
  than it has been in years
• 5:07
  past so um this is this
• 5:11
  this is a view from the
• 5:12
  stands what's cool about
• 5:14
  knoxville is you are
• 5:15
  elevated above the floor so
• 5:17
  everybody can see because
• 5:19
  even if people are standing
• 5:20
  up you can see over top of
• 5:21
  them in the stadium seating
• 5:24
  but you can see that
• 5:25
  there's the rig in the same
• 5:26
  place it always is
• 5:28
  but they,
• 5:29
  the finish line is about the
• 5:30
  halfway mark.
• 5:33
  Uh,
• 5:33
  and there's where the Savant podcast
• 5:35
  will be broadcasting from,
• 5:37
  but these stands were
• 5:38
  usually another length of the floor down.
• 5:42
  Um, and so there,
• 5:44
  I wonder if they are trying
• 5:46
  to compact the crowd into
• 5:48
  one half of the arena so
• 5:50
  that that half of the arena looks really,
• 5:52
  really full.
• 5:54
  Um,
• 5:55
  And last year,
• 5:56
  Wilson and group did a great
• 5:58
  job of not letting anybody
• 6:00
  into these upper seats
• 6:02
  until the lower seats had filled.
• 6:05
  So they had all this up here
• 6:07
  roped off until the bottom filled up.
• 6:11
  So then the crowd was like
• 6:12
  really on top and the,
• 6:14
  and the coverage showed
• 6:16
  some pretty good some
• 6:18
  pretty good shots of like
• 6:19
  what looked to be a full crowd.
• 6:21
  And it was pretty full last year.
• 6:24
  And then once that bottom area filled,
• 6:26
  then they unroped the top
• 6:28
  and everybody was allowed
• 6:29
  to go up to the top.
• 6:31
  But this year they are,
• 6:33
  they have shortened the floor.
• 6:36
  which I get it from an optic standpoint,
• 6:39
  but you're taking away transition time.
• 6:42
  And I wonder if some people
• 6:44
  will get an advantage
• 6:46
  because the transition time
• 6:48
  from apparatus to apparatus
• 6:50
  has to be smaller if your
• 6:52
  floor is half as long.
• 6:56
  And so I just wonder how
• 6:58
  that's going to play out.
• 6:58
  That's going to be something
• 6:59
  I'm watching for going into the weekend.
• 7:03
  by shrinking the floor down
• 7:06
  if people who knit who run
• 7:08
  to the next event had an
• 7:10
  advantage on the long floor
• 7:12
  to those who just walked
• 7:14
  now you have a shorter
• 7:15
  floor that's less an
• 7:17
  advantage and will it
• 7:18
  affect anything at the end
• 7:19
  of the weekend so
• 7:25
  Just some things I've been
• 7:26
  noticing as I've been
• 7:28
  peering around on the
• 7:30
  internet and different
• 7:32
  places to see what's going on.
• 7:39
  It's been a weird twenty-four hours.
• 7:41
  I got off the show yesterday,
• 7:42
  finished my work day.
• 7:44
  Um, as my workday was ending,
• 7:46
  my wife got a call that her cousin,
• 7:49
  who she's very close with, uh,
• 7:51
  they were born on the same day,
• 7:53
  one year apart, uh, and have been very,
• 7:55
  very close to their whole lives.
• 7:57
  She, uh, passed away yesterday afternoon,
• 8:01
  right about four thirty and, um,
• 8:05
  We had heard that she was going downhill.
• 8:07
  We're trying to make the decision.
• 8:08
  Could we make it back in time to see her?
• 8:11
  We would not have made it
• 8:12
  back in time to see her.
• 8:14
  Um, and when we called, uh,
• 8:16
  my wife was able to FaceTime with her,
• 8:19
  um,
• 8:21
  uh, before she passed away.
• 8:24
  And, uh, and so, uh,
• 8:27
  I know there's a funeral in my future.
• 8:30
  Um,
• 8:30
  and I don't know how that it'll affect
• 8:31
  the show,
• 8:32
  but I will let you guys know if
• 8:34
  there is a point in time where, um,
• 8:38
  I won't be able to do the
• 8:39
  show cause I'll be
• 8:39
  traveling to Pennsylvania, uh,
• 8:42
  for the funeral.
• 8:43
  We're hearing that it's not
• 8:44
  going to be until next week.
• 8:46
  Um,
• 8:48
  but yeah, so, um,
• 8:50
  so it was a pretty
• 8:51
  emotional evening last night.
• 8:53
  And, um, in addition to that, I,
• 8:56
  I shared two days ago,
• 8:58
  some things with my
• 8:59
  daughter and her ex maybe
• 9:02
  current boyfriend possibly
• 9:04
  proposing and how she feels
• 9:06
  like that's a dilemma.
• 9:08
  And so we've been dealing
• 9:08
  with that as well.
• 9:09
  Like how,
• 9:10
  where does she go from here with that?
• 9:13
  Um,
• 9:16
  because she's so happy in Montana.
• 9:17
  She says she's not leaving.
• 9:20
  Um, even if he proposes,
• 9:21
  she's not leaving Montana.
• 9:22
  She loves it there.
• 9:23
  She loves what she gets to do every day.
• 9:26
  Um,
• 9:28
  And so, yeah,
• 9:30
  all that kind of stuff
• 9:31
  happening in the last twenty four hours.
• 9:34
  But thank you, everybody,
• 9:35
  for the condolences.
• 9:39
  Again, my wife was really close with her.
• 9:41
  I got to know her over the years.
• 9:42
  I mean,
• 9:43
  my wife and I've been together
• 9:45
  thirty two years or something like that.
• 9:47
  So, yeah, her family is my family.
• 9:51
  And yeah,
• 9:54
  so we'll be heading to that at
• 9:55
  some point in the near future.
• 10:00
  Not to bring everybody down.
• 10:03
  So I want to bring everybody up.
• 10:05
  I don't know if you guys saw this.
• 10:08
  I think this was,
• 10:09
  I think it's a leak that
• 10:11
  this is going to be event
• 10:13
  two at the CrossFit games.
• 10:19
  I think Dave Castro said
• 10:20
  something like a safety be damned.
• 10:23
  We wanted to do something fun.
• 10:26
  So this is going to be event
• 10:28
  two at the CrossFit Games.
• 10:45
  Reality is this is actually
• 10:47
  the it's called the cheese roll race.
• 10:54
  and these people, they,
• 10:55
  you can see the cheese
• 10:56
  bouncing in front and these
• 10:59
  people chase this cheese down the hill.
• 11:03
  Um,
• 11:03
  and the goal is to be the one that
• 11:04
  catches it.
• 11:05
  Um,
• 11:08
  I don't know how people don't have
• 11:10
  broken limbs.
• 11:12
  It is in crazy.
• 11:14
  It's, it's crazy.
• 11:15
  Incredible.
• 11:16
  Uh, that people actually do this,
• 11:17
  but they flip and, um,
• 11:21
  it's insane it's insane um
• 11:25
  they're completely out of
• 11:26
  control people take each
• 11:27
  other out um but it is it's
• 11:31
  one of the funniest things
• 11:32
  I've ever seen and it's
• 11:32
  been around since like the
• 11:33
  eighteen twenties uh
• 11:35
  they've been doing this
• 11:36
  every year uh since the
• 11:38
  eighteen twenties so uh fun
• 11:43
  contest if anybody wants to
• 11:45
  go to the uk and uh sign up
• 11:49
  I'm sure they they take all comers
• 11:55
  So that is the cheese roll over in the UK.
• 12:04
  Sarah Cooper, I've watched one here.
• 12:05
  It's hilarious.
• 12:09
  Jody Lynn, my body would be wrecked.
• 12:16
  Uh-oh, the PFAA rep said on podcast,
• 12:20
  too dangerous.
• 12:21
  We will protest a cheese
• 12:22
  rolling race at the
• 12:23
  CrossFit Games and
• 12:23
  encourage our members to
• 12:25
  refuse the event.
• 12:27
  Okay,
• 12:27
  we'll have to take that into
• 12:29
  consideration for sure.
• 12:36
  So, yeah.
• 12:37
  So there's that.
• 12:39
  I also, I wanted to ask you guys,
• 12:43
  You know,
• 12:43
  barbell spin posted that Scott
• 12:45
  Pancheck did a
• 12:46
  collaboration with innovate, um,
• 12:49
  to come up with a new, uh,
• 12:50
  Scott Pancheck shoe for
• 12:52
  innovate or innovate shoes
• 12:56
  relevant anymore.
• 12:59
  I mean,
• 12:59
  Scott Pancheck hasn't competed in
• 13:01
  the elite division for a couple of years.
• 13:03
  He's your big name.
• 13:06
  Does anybody wear innovates anymore?
• 13:10
  When I first got into CrossFit,
• 13:12
  everybody had Innovates.
• 13:15
  Or Merrells, I think they were.
• 13:19
  Everybody was wearing those two shoes.
• 13:24
  And then they just kind of faded away.
• 13:26
  And now it seems like
• 13:27
  they're trying to make a comeback,
• 13:29
  but it's weird.
• 13:34
  Sarah Cooper,
• 13:34
  I think Spiegel is sponsored by them too.
• 13:37
  I think Spiegel has been
• 13:38
  sponsored by every shoe.
• 13:40
  I think she was,
• 13:41
  and then she left them and
• 13:42
  then she went to tear and
• 13:43
  then she left them and then
• 13:44
  she went to rad and then
• 13:47
  she left them and maybe back to tear.
• 13:49
  I, I don't even know.
• 13:51
  It seems, uh, see my holy balls.
• 13:55
  We don't need any more shoes.
• 13:58
  What's funny is every time I
• 13:59
  bring up shoes on this show,
• 14:00
  like we get into these long
• 14:02
  debates over which one is the best, uh,
• 14:04
  And to me, like CrossFit shoes are Chinese,
• 14:07
  unlike Chinese restaurants.
• 14:09
  Everybody has their favorite
• 14:10
  and they refuse to do anything else.
• 14:18
  Danny Spiegel still does CrossFit.
• 14:21
  I don't know.
• 14:21
  I don't think she does CrossFit.
• 14:23
  She does fitnessing.
• 14:30
  Shoes choices have been a
• 14:31
  mess since Reebok pissed off Craig.
• 14:34
  Yeah.
• 14:36
  Yeah.
• 14:37
  I got the,
• 14:37
  I got the new Adidas drop set threes, um,
• 14:40
  after watching the WFP and
• 14:42
  I just like the looks of them.
• 14:43
  They're very.
• 14:44
  Nineteen eighties, which is where,
• 14:46
  when I grew up and, uh,
• 14:49
  I wanted to try them on and I really,
• 14:52
  really like them really
• 14:54
  like the drop set threes.
• 14:58
  Um,
• 14:59
  but I had been a Reebok guy, my,
• 15:01
  my whole cross-fitting life.
• 15:04
  Um,
• 15:06
  and I have so many pairs of Reeboks
• 15:08
  from being a volunteer, uh,
• 15:09
  where I got with them for free,
• 15:11
  or I w we used to have a
• 15:12
  Reebok outlet store north
• 15:14
  of Columbus and I would get them for like,
• 15:16
  bucks a pair.
• 15:18
  Um, so I have so many of my closets.
• 15:20
  I really need to like, um, get rid of some,
• 15:23
  cuz they, they take up way,
• 15:25
  way too much space.
• 15:28
  Um, Craig says that Danny's on a team.
• 15:32
  I heard rumors.
• 15:33
  She was going to do Invictus.
• 15:35
  Um, so good for her.
• 15:39
  Good for her.
• 15:40
  She'd be a great team athlete.
• 15:42
  She has some really,
• 15:44
  really big time home runs.
• 15:48
  Um, and there's,
• 15:49
  there's an easier way to hide her, um,
• 15:53
  on everything, but a run.
• 15:59
  she's actually a really good
• 16:00
  gymnast too really good
• 16:02
  gymnast um it's just the
• 16:05
  endurance part of it and
• 16:07
  being able to break things
• 16:08
  up a little bit more on a
• 16:09
  team is probably very
• 16:10
  conducive to her um and
• 16:13
  she'll probably be really
• 16:15
  really good as a team
• 16:16
  participant so um uh
• 16:25
  they're having some fun out there in
• 16:28
  And the rebel throw down.
• 16:33
  Then this again is the teams.
• 16:35
  They just kicked off.
• 16:38
  I love this intimate setting
• 16:39
  of like a little bit of an arena.
• 16:42
  You can see the finish line
• 16:43
  is kind of the fullest part,
• 16:45
  maybe right in front of us
• 16:46
  here by the rig.
• 16:50
  But it looks like they have
• 16:51
  pretty good attendance for,
• 16:56
  I think it's Thursday night there.
• 17:00
  So it's not even Friday yet.
• 17:02
  Um, but yeah,
• 17:05
  so soon we'll have the
• 17:06
  individual athletes, um,
• 17:10
  individual athletes in about an,
• 17:12
  I think like an hour.
• 17:14
  Um, but we'll see,
• 17:15
  this is heat three of the team.
• 17:17
  So maybe less than an hour.
• 17:19
  Uh, the individuals will,
• 17:20
  will hit the floor at the
• 17:22
  rebel rebel renegade games.
• 17:28
  I'm just excited to watch
• 17:29
  something spend such a slow news week.
• 17:33
  Uh,
• 17:34
  edging hard to run with legs like fire
• 17:36
  hydrants.
• 17:36
  Uh, trust me.
• 17:37
  I know the reason this show
• 17:40
  is called Clydesdale is
• 17:41
  because I am not a small man.
• 17:44
  Uh,
• 17:44
  and my legs are massive and running is
• 17:47
  my least favorite thing, but I just,
• 17:55
  yeah.
• 17:57
  When I first got into CrossFit,
• 17:59
  I really started to embrace the running.
• 18:00
  Cause I just, I was tired of,
• 18:03
  of it sucking so much.
• 18:05
  And so I started running twice a week.
• 18:09
  Um,
• 18:10
  I would do like a two mile run on a
• 18:12
  Tuesday night and every
• 18:14
  Saturday or Sunday I would
• 18:15
  do a form four mile run.
• 18:18
  Um, just,
• 18:19
  just to learn how to kind of like
• 18:20
  pace through it so that,
• 18:26
  and I got to a point where.
• 18:29
  I got to a point where the
• 18:32
  running didn't suck anymore.
• 18:33
  And it was,
• 18:35
  it just depended on my attitude.
• 18:36
  How much do I want to push it or not?
• 18:39
  Because I did have,
• 18:41
  once I started running more frequently,
• 18:43
  I had paces.
• 18:45
  I could do a harder push run
• 18:48
  or I could do just a paced
• 18:49
  run depending on what the workout was.
• 18:53
  And so it gave me options
• 18:55
  and a much better head
• 18:58
  mindset I gosh I'd love to
• 19:01
  get back to that it's funny
• 19:03
  on monday I used to run in
• 19:05
  this park and that's where
• 19:07
  my wife and I went for our
• 19:08
  pseudo picnic um that she
• 19:11
  couldn't uh get out of the
• 19:12
  car because of her knee uh
• 19:16
  her knee replacement
• 19:17
  surgery and so we just kind
• 19:18
  of sat in the park but we
• 19:20
  were right by where I ran
• 19:21
  and I found in this park a
• 19:23
  one mile loop through the woods
• 19:26
  I just started running like
• 19:27
  four laps every saturday or
• 19:29
  sunday of that one mile
• 19:31
  loop um but yeah sarah says
• 19:39
  jump rope is my least
• 19:40
  favorite thing what's crazy
• 19:43
  is when I I used to love
• 19:45
  jump rope I used to love
• 19:46
  double unders when I first
• 19:48
  started crossfit I got
• 19:49
  really good at double unders really fast
• 19:52
  And then when I hurt my back,
• 19:54
  they went away.
• 19:55
  And I've not been able to
• 19:57
  get them back consistently since.
• 20:02
  So yeah,
• 20:06
  now it's just frustrating for me
• 20:09
  because I've known how to do them.
• 20:10
  I just can't get the rhythm back.
• 20:13
  And it's probably because
• 20:14
  with my back injury that I had,
• 20:17
  I just don't have the bounding
• 20:19
  uh, that I used to have.
• 20:21
  And so the double unders are
• 20:22
  just becoming harder.
• 20:26
  Meredith Jones says a mile
• 20:27
  loop through the woods is my kind of jam.
• 20:30
  Yeah, it was,
• 20:30
  it was just really nice cause
• 20:31
  it was shaded and some of it, I mean,
• 20:36
  it was probably, it was probably,
• 20:37
  it was probably, it was probably,
• 20:38
  it was probably, it was probably,
• 20:40
  it was probably, it was probably,
• 20:40
  it was probably, um, to the run.
• 20:42
  So you're a little bit in
• 20:43
  and out of the woods, but, um, I really,
• 20:46
  really enjoyed it.
• 20:47
  Um, I,
• 20:49
  and I've just got to get back to
• 20:50
  that place again where I'm okay with,
• 20:53
  with kind of doing that.
• 20:57
  So, um, wow.
• 21:01
  My dog is losing his mind
• 21:04
  because someone is at my door.
• 21:10
  Let me,
• 21:11
  I'm trying to check my blink and it
• 21:14
  doesn't show anybody.
• 21:18
  So I don't know.
• 21:20
  He's just losing his mind to
• 21:21
  lose his mind.
• 21:28
  He is something.
• 21:29
  Ever since my wife has been hurt,
• 21:31
  or not hurt,
• 21:31
  but recovering from her knee surgery,
• 21:33
  he's just been a pickle to deal with.
• 21:38
  He just wants to be by our
• 21:39
  side all the time.
• 21:41
  He doesn't want to do his
• 21:43
  business outside.
• 21:46
  It's just a mess.
• 21:48
  He's like a child.
• 21:53
  But anyway, fun stuff.
• 22:06
  Oh, there we go.
• 22:09
  there was absolutely nothing
• 22:10
  outside oh no there was a
• 22:11
  guy looked like a uh just a
• 22:15
  salesman uh bark all you
• 22:20
  want walter bark all you
• 22:22
  want anyway um again
• 22:28
  there's not a lot to talk
• 22:29
  about today I did watch the
• 22:30
  tfx behind the scenes volume two um
• 22:34
  Really enjoyed getting to
• 22:35
  hear from Sydney and Olivia
• 22:38
  at the end of the
• 22:39
  competition and them
• 22:41
  getting back to the games
• 22:42
  after missing Olivia last year,
• 22:45
  Sydney the last two years,
• 22:47
  and finally getting back.
• 22:48
  It was really cool to kind
• 22:50
  of see this and hear how
• 22:52
  aware Sydney was of what
• 22:54
  Hannah Black was doing.
• 22:56
  at the end of the race that
• 22:57
  she definitely had her
• 22:58
  inner sights and knew where
• 23:00
  she was at all times and
• 23:03
  trying to make sure that
• 23:04
  she at least stayed with her.
• 23:08
  Um, and how I, that all played out.
• 23:11
  And it was interesting to
• 23:12
  hear from Hannah's boyfriend who, um,
• 23:15
  talked about how just days earlier,
• 23:19
  she did the whole thing,
• 23:20
  touch and go with no problem.
• 23:22
  And it just wasn't there for her that day.
• 23:25
  And those are the parts I
• 23:27
  really like about the
• 23:28
  behind the scenes stuff.
• 23:30
  That's the stuff you don't
• 23:31
  get on a normal broadcast
• 23:33
  or Instagram or anything like that.
• 23:38
  But it was really,
• 23:39
  really well done by them to
• 23:41
  get a little bit of that
• 23:43
  behind the scenes.
• 23:45
  I also thought it was cool
• 23:46
  that Bryson got an
• 23:47
  interview with the event
• 23:50
  director of the WFP and him
• 23:53
  talking about what they liked,
• 23:55
  what they didn't like about
• 23:56
  what they had done.
• 24:00
  And so that was really good, too.
• 24:08
  But, yeah, I really enjoyed it.
• 24:09
  If you haven't seen it already,
• 24:12
  Volume I and Volume II are
• 24:13
  now available for that.
• 24:17
  And then this weekend, guys,
• 24:18
  we're going to have four events.
• 24:20
  We have Rebel Renegade Games,
• 24:22
  which is on right now.
• 24:23
  The teams, I think The Last Heat is going.
• 24:29
  That's on their YouTube channel.
• 24:32
  Then we have the Far East Throwdown.
• 24:35
  That will be on their
• 24:36
  YouTube channel this weekend.
• 24:39
  And we have the Syndicate Crown,
• 24:40
  which is on the Sevon Podcast channel.
• 24:44
  And then we have Torian Pro,
• 24:46
  which is either on their
• 24:48
  website or their YouTube channel.
• 24:50
  There has been a little bit
• 24:51
  of conflicting information.
• 24:53
  I think it's their YouTube
• 24:54
  channel that they just post
• 24:56
  to their website.
• 24:59
  But either one of those places,
• 25:01
  you'll be able to see the Torian Pro.
• 25:05
  And maybe we'll finally know
• 25:07
  if Tia Claire Toomey is retiring or not.
• 25:11
  Or if it was just trolling
• 25:13
  us the whole time.
• 25:18
  Taylor's interview with Ed was funny.
• 25:21
  I thought it was tense.
• 25:23
  I'm not sure how funny I
• 25:24
  thought it was at the moment.
• 25:26
  And not sure how funny I
• 25:28
  would have thought about it
• 25:30
  if I was in the moment.
• 25:33
  So.
• 25:36
  But it was interesting for sure,
• 25:37
  and it was really, really tense.
• 25:43
  I watched Barbell spin last night.
• 25:45
  Of course,
• 25:45
  I disagreed with a lot of what
• 25:47
  John had picked.
• 25:50
  I have a hard time when he
• 25:53
  goes off on these rants
• 25:56
  about how Erica Folo is
• 25:58
  much fitter than Lexi Neely.
• 26:02
  Yet,
• 26:03
  Eric Afolo has never been to the
• 26:04
  CrossFit Games, and Lexi Neely has.
• 26:10
  And what indicators have
• 26:11
  there been that Lexi Neely
• 26:13
  has not been fit?
• 26:16
  Like,
• 26:17
  those are things that he goes down
• 26:18
  these paths where I'm just like, dude,
• 26:21
  I have no idea where your
• 26:23
  mind is working.
• 26:27
  Eric Afolo collapsed last
• 26:28
  year at the end of Syndicate Nationals.
• 26:32
  she has never been to the
• 26:33
  game she's never placed
• 26:35
  high at any big event lexi
• 26:38
  neely has been to the games
• 26:40
  she qualified out of the
• 26:41
  east last year which was
• 26:45
  super competitive and beat
• 26:48
  a lot of good athletes to
• 26:51
  get into uh the crossfit
• 26:53
  games I just find that like
• 26:58
  I just find that bizarre
• 27:01
  Sarah says, I'm rooting for Folo,
• 27:03
  but she didn't do well at Waza either.
• 27:06
  Correct.
• 27:07
  I like her.
• 27:08
  I think she's a really cool lady,
• 27:11
  and I hope she does well.
• 27:14
  But the hill that John's
• 27:16
  willing to die on for her,
• 27:19
  and I can say as someone in
• 27:21
  this line of whatever I do,
• 27:24
  when you interview someone,
• 27:25
  you do get a bond with them,
• 27:28
  and so you let that
• 27:32
  You let that affect your decision-making.
• 27:34
  Erica has been on their podcast.
• 27:37
  I'm sure that affects it.
• 27:41
  I don't believe Lexi has been.
• 27:46
  And so that's probably part of it.
• 27:49
  But for me, until, until Lexi,
• 27:54
  until Erica can prove it,
• 27:57
  I would put Lexi above her at this point.
• 28:02
  I don't think I've really
• 28:02
  made picks for this weekend,
• 28:04
  but for Syndicate, for sure,
• 28:08
  I think Caroline Stanley
• 28:11
  gets the ticket as well
• 28:14
  as... I'm trying to think
• 28:17
  who the other person I had there.
• 28:21
  I think I had Lexi Neely, maybe.
• 28:24
  I don't think the Wells
• 28:24
  sisters are going to get
• 28:26
  tickets this week.
• 28:28
  I don't.
• 28:29
  I think...
• 28:32
  I don't know.
• 28:38
  Shelby Neal was disappointing at Mayhem.
• 28:40
  I'd really like to see her
• 28:42
  put it together for this.
• 28:47
  And I think she has the
• 28:47
  potential to do so.
• 28:51
  One bad event shouldn't
• 28:52
  knock her down after two
• 28:55
  straight CrossFit Games appearances.
• 29:00
  the men's side I've been
• 29:01
  saying it all along I think
• 29:02
  sestoval this is his year
• 29:04
  to get a ticket um and I'm
• 29:10
  gonna say I'd really like
• 29:19
  to see spencer pancheck
• 29:21
  that's one of those like
• 29:22
  heart picks I'm I'm a big
• 29:24
  pancheck guy let me look at
• 29:27
  their lineup real quick
• 29:32
  just so I'm not missing somebody.
• 29:39
  They are posting so much stuff.
• 29:41
  It's hard to find.
• 29:47
  And they kick off tomorrow, uh,
• 29:50
  with heavy Isabel,
• 29:51
  which just haven't gotten enough of that.
• 29:57
  Um,
• 30:14
  can see the workouts I
• 30:15
  cannot oh here's the
• 30:16
  rosters duh okay well my
• 30:20
  coach at crossfit polaris
• 30:21
  is going to be there alex
• 30:22
  majors so I will act
• 30:24
  actually be rooting him on
• 30:26
  I don't think he's going to
• 30:27
  punch his ticket um
• 30:35
  Let me ask you guys this.
• 30:37
  I see Ty Jenkins coming in from Craig.
• 30:40
  I've heard a lot about Ty Jenkins.
• 30:42
  And a lot of people were
• 30:43
  referencing WFP for that.
• 30:45
  At WFP, Ty got to use,
• 30:49
  he was in the challenger division,
• 30:51
  so he got to use lighter weights.
• 30:53
  Does that affect how good he looked?
• 30:56
  And should we take that into full account?
• 31:00
  Or do the lighter weights
• 31:02
  misrepresent what they truly are?
• 31:12
  I'm taking sestoval and jack
• 31:14
  rosema that's who I'm
• 31:15
  taking on the men's side
• 31:22
  and on the women's side I
• 31:23
  am taking caroline stanley and lexi neely
• 31:41
  Yep, those are my two picks.
• 31:44
  Sarah, I agree with you a hundred percent.
• 31:45
  I hope they don't say punch
• 31:46
  their ticket a hundred
• 31:47
  times in the stream.
• 31:49
  I try to avoid it, but it's so hard.
• 31:51
  You hear it so many times.
• 31:53
  It just kind of like rolls
• 31:54
  into your head as you're talking.
• 31:56
  And I really, really,
• 31:57
  really try to not do that.
• 32:04
  That challenger division
• 32:05
  weight makes no sense to me.
• 32:07
  If they are there to challenge the pros,
• 32:09
  why not use the same?
• 32:10
  I completely agree.
• 32:14
  Because at the end of the day,
• 32:15
  the points you earn, yes,
• 32:17
  in the challenger division
• 32:18
  are less than the pro,
• 32:20
  but it still counts towards
• 32:21
  do you make it to the championship?
• 32:24
  So if like Ty,
• 32:26
  he does this well in the
• 32:29
  challenger division,
• 32:31
  and then next time he gets
• 32:34
  a qualifying spot into the pro division,
• 32:37
  Now he earns points,
• 32:38
  but part of his points were
• 32:40
  earned at less weight.
• 32:43
  It's not apples to apples,
• 32:47
  and that drives me bananas.
• 32:49
  I don't know why it drives me bananas,
• 32:52
  and I'm talking about a lot of fruit here,
• 32:53
  but I do think they should
• 32:58
  be using the same amount of
• 32:59
  weight for sure.
• 33:05
  And I think they're afraid
• 33:06
  that the pros will be
• 33:07
  embarrassed if they're
• 33:09
  beaten by challengers.
• 33:11
  But... Come on.
• 33:15
  We need thicker skin than that.
• 33:20
  Torian, I think that Tia's going to win.
• 33:24
  I think that...
• 33:33
  I'm going to go Daisy
• 33:34
  McDonald gets her
• 33:36
  qualification to the games.
• 33:38
  And then on the men's side,
• 33:40
  I think I have Peter Ellis
• 33:43
  and Bailey Martin rebel renegade.
• 33:49
  I hope Sarah gets her spot.
• 33:51
  Um,
• 33:52
  I don't really know enough about far
• 33:54
  East and rebel to make
• 33:56
  calls and other division,
• 33:58
  the other areas.
• 34:00
  Um,
• 34:04
  Craig is hoping for Hannah.
• 34:06
  I don't think this traveling
• 34:08
  competing as much as she
• 34:09
  has competed traveling
• 34:10
  halfway around the world.
• 34:12
  That is not ideal.
• 34:15
  And I and I love Hannah.
• 34:20
  We did her first ever podcast.
• 34:22
  She is awesome.
• 34:26
  And I think she's going to
• 34:27
  be good in a year or two.
• 34:32
  But
• 34:39
  But not this year.
• 34:43
  Sarah says to one young from for Far East.
• 34:48
  I think that's a good pick.
• 34:49
  I think see here.
• 34:49
  Kaya probably has the advantage.
• 34:53
  But we'll see.
• 34:57
  Um, so yeah,
• 34:58
  so those are the picks and
• 35:00
  then I'm going to leave you
• 35:00
  with something goofy and
• 35:01
  petty again today.
• 35:04
  Uh,
• 35:04
  we've kind of been doing that a little
• 35:05
  bit this week and Jody
• 35:07
  loves the petty hate.
• 35:09
  Um,
• 35:11
  so yesterday I did the six artists that
• 35:16
  Prince hated.
• 35:18
  Uh,
• 35:18
  today I'm doing the six actors that
• 35:21
  Martin Scorsese hated and
• 35:24
  refused to work with ever again.
• 35:28
  And if you don't know who
• 35:29
  Martin Scorsese is, but he was Goodfellas,
• 35:32
  he was Wolf of Wall Street,
• 35:35
  plus a million other great movies,
• 35:38
  Gangs of New York, so on and so forth.
• 35:43
  But the first actor that he...
• 35:47
  refused to work with ever
• 35:48
  again was James Caan.
• 35:50
  Apparently, they tried to work together,
• 35:53
  but they were both so alpha
• 35:55
  that they could not come to
• 35:56
  agreement on things.
• 35:58
  And so right after Caan had
• 36:00
  played Sonny Corleone in The Godfather...
• 36:04
  Um,
• 36:04
  Martin Scorsese thought he would be a
• 36:06
  good person to have in his next project.
• 36:10
  The relationship was so bad.
• 36:11
  The project never even got
• 36:13
  off the ground and Martin
• 36:15
  Scorsese refused to ever
• 36:17
  work with him again.
• 36:21
  Um,
• 36:21
  the next person that he refused to work
• 36:23
  with was Mark Wahlberg.
• 36:26
  They actually did a film together, um,
• 36:29
  And Mark Wahlberg was
• 36:30
  actually nominated for Best
• 36:32
  Actor in this movie.
• 36:34
  And I don't remember which one it was.
• 36:37
  I wish I did.
• 36:39
  But Mark Wahlberg refused to
• 36:43
  tone down what Scorsese wanted.
• 36:46
  Scorsese wanted a very simple,
• 36:49
  straightforward performance.
• 36:51
  And Mark Wahlberg went over the top.
• 36:54
  And it just did not go well.
• 36:57
  And then they refused to
• 36:58
  ever work together again after that.
• 37:02
  The next one is Julia Roberts.
• 37:05
  Apparently,
• 37:05
  they tried to work together on a project.
• 37:10
  And it was a period piece,
• 37:12
  Age of Innocence, maybe.
• 37:14
  And apparently the story is
• 37:17
  Scorsese wanted her to wear the corset.
• 37:19
  So it looked authentic.
• 37:21
  She said she couldn't breathe in it.
• 37:23
  They came to a head and then
• 37:25
  Julia Roberts was replaced
• 37:27
  with Michelle Pfeiffer.
• 37:30
  And then Scorsese refused to
• 37:32
  ever work with her again.
• 37:35
  The next one is Ryan O'Neill.
• 37:37
  Ryan O'Neill was originally
• 37:38
  the pick to play Raging Bull,
• 37:41
  Jake LaMotta in Raging Bull.
• 37:46
  They came to a lot of
• 37:48
  disagreements in that.
• 37:49
  And Ryan O'Neill was
• 37:51
  replaced quickly with Robert De Niro.
• 37:54
  And then that became one of
• 37:57
  De Niro's most iconic roles.
• 38:00
  But he then refused to work
• 38:01
  with Ryan O'Neill ever again.
• 38:05
  Uh,
• 38:06
  next one is Winona Ryder again from age
• 38:08
  of innocence.
• 38:09
  Um,
• 38:11
  he didn't feel she had the depth she
• 38:13
  needed to be a good actress
• 38:15
  and was tired of messing around with her.
• 38:17
  And even though she finished that project,
• 38:22
  never worked with her again.
• 38:24
  And finally,
• 38:25
  after man on the moon and the Truman show,
• 38:29
  Martin Scorsese and Jim
• 38:30
  Carrey tried to work on a biopic of.
• 38:37
  somebody famous and now I
• 38:40
  can't remember but anyway
• 38:42
  um and they got together
• 38:45
  and scorsese could not
• 38:46
  stand jim carrey and his
• 38:49
  antics and so that project
• 38:51
  never got off the ground
• 38:52
  either and they refused to
• 38:55
  ever work together again so
• 38:58
  martin scorsese the six
• 38:59
  actors he hated were james
• 39:01
  conn mark walberg julia
• 39:03
  roberts ryan o'neill winona ryder and jim
• 39:07
  carry just a fun way to
• 39:11
  bring a little funny hate
• 39:14
  to the podcast to end it
• 39:16
  today and to make jody lynn
• 39:19
  smile um and I was
• 39:21
  surprised the big names um
• 39:27
  when I got through this you
• 39:30
  know I was expecting people
• 39:31
  that I hadn't really heard of um
• 39:35
  Meredith says they all sound
• 39:36
  like people with big personalities.
• 39:38
  I think that's it.
• 39:39
  I think that Scorsese
• 39:40
  himself has a big personality,
• 39:42
  and he doesn't want someone
• 39:43
  else in the room that goes
• 39:46
  toe-to-toe with that.
• 39:56
  Ken Walter says,
• 39:57
  sounds like Scorsese has the problem.
• 39:59
  Well,
• 39:59
  he does have a lot of people that
• 40:01
  want to work with him.
• 40:03
  DiCaprio...
