Abigail Domit Drops In, Mayhem Classic Recap & More · The Spin Podcast

• 0:32
  Welcome to the spin. Little bit of a new background
• 0:37
  there. And a special guest was Abigail
• 0:41
  Domet, the second woman, I guess, officially to qualify for
• 0:46
  the 2025 CrossFit. Game, let's say first.
• 0:50
  Two first two, first two. Tied for points though.
• 0:56
  Yeah, so. I think I think Z score you'd be
• 1:00
  ahead because of your Isabel. I think that it was, I think
• 1:04
  that is the way it worked. P score.
• 1:06
  But yeah, she was. She was ahead.
• 1:08
  Do you know anything about Z scorer Abby?
• 1:11
  P Score jog it did Z. Score or P score?
• 1:15
  One of ABC score, one of them now used to be Z.
• 1:20
  I did. I did think about that this
• 1:21
  weekend. For some reason.
• 1:23
  People started talking about it and we're like, are we, is it
• 1:26
  standard scoring? Are we going to use Z score, P
• 1:28
  score? And then we're like, oh, well,
• 1:31
  the field of 18, that would make a huge difference because there
• 1:34
  was some serious gaps on a lot of the events.
• 1:37
  So yeah. You would have gotten some more
• 1:39
  than. Others.
• 1:42
  Really like, you know that. Yeah.
• 1:44
  He's the guy who made the It's his thing.
• 1:46
  Oh. Shoot, it's my thing.
• 1:49
  I don't know if. I like a random.
• 1:50
  Equation He. He made it, she.
• 1:53
  Goes. How do you know that?
• 1:55
  That was great. He's kind of a big deal.
• 1:58
  Wow. OK.
• 1:59
  I'll, I'll go to you for all my questions on that.
• 2:02
  Yeah, so if anybody like just kills an event like he's the guy
• 2:05
  to ask how far, how much are they at?
• 2:09
  OK. 'Cause it's like each second.
• 2:12
  It goes by how much you beat the middle person.
• 2:18
  It's that's the easiest way to that's the easiest way to think
• 2:21
  about it. Like they take all the scores.
• 2:23
  The middle person gets 50, correct Tyler.
• 2:29
  And then however much you are ahead of that person is how many
• 2:32
  points you get. So you would get 102nd place
• 2:36
  gets like 83 because of how much you beat everybody by.
• 2:41
  But so if it's like a longer event where people are going to
• 2:44
  be minutes ahead versus a really short event and it's only a few
• 2:46
  seconds it. It it equals.
• 2:49
  Out it's all the same. So like a long event's actually
• 2:52
  much harder to get a whole bunch of points on people because 20
• 2:57
  minutes and 19 minutes is 95 versus 100 essentially.
• 3:03
  And you're not beating somebody by 5 minutes in a 20 minute
• 3:06
  workout where right where a 4 minute workout you do something
• 3:12
  in three in 350 and then the next second place is 4/30
• 3:18
  percentage wise, that's 10%. You know what I'm?
• 3:22
  Saying makes sense. Maybe we should have did that We
• 3:27
  we should have did. You should say that to Dave.
• 3:30
  Tyler Tyler will get so hard. I know that I know that Mayhem
• 3:37
  is not big fans of it. They're not.
• 3:41
  Not, not. Or are.
• 3:45
  No, I, they, I know that they are not they they talk shit
• 3:51
  about it on their podcast. It's fine.
• 3:52
  It's not for everybody, but all of a sudden when everybody.
• 3:55
  Decides they're like, not for everybody.
• 4:01
  We got a question here, we'll read it because pool boy paid
• 4:04
  us. Would Ebelgill rather be able to
• 4:07
  do the Oh my God comma? Omaha, Oh man.
• 4:11
  Oh, Spit doesn't watch. It I do.
• 4:14
  Not have a or instant transmission.
• 4:17
  I was worried this was going to happen.
• 4:19
  I'm like. I was supposed to be knowledge.
• 4:21
  Since I was a child, I just know what some of the things are.
• 4:26
  I have no idea what that is. I think it would depend on who's
• 4:29
  Kamehameha we're talking about. Yeah.
• 4:34
  That's what you should have last event.
• 4:36
  I got you. I got.
• 4:36
  You yelled your hair vertically. That would have been the final,
• 4:40
  the final form. Oh my gosh, if you would have
• 4:43
  made the freaking triangle hair. A little.
• 4:47
  Bit outrageous. Have like an orange.
• 4:50
  An orange. Oh man.
• 4:55
  Yeah, it has a little, little Japanese sign on the back,
• 4:58
  whatever that is. I had a Goku shirt not too long
• 5:01
  ago, like 3 years ago. Nice.
• 5:06
  Yeah, I'll, I'll text you guys. There's I promised you I had a
• 5:09
  shirt like that. Please do hurry.
• 5:11
  I believe it. I've been cancelling because I
• 5:13
  have no idea what you guys are talking about but.
• 5:15
  It's Dragon Ball Z, man. That sure.
• 5:19
  OK, back to CrossFit. I know more about that than the.
• 5:25
  He didn't. He didn't he didn't hear your
• 5:26
  your interview, Abby, clearly. I'm sorry.
• 5:29
  I heard sorry that we're working.
• 5:30
  I was damaged about it. OK, go ahead.
• 5:33
  Go ahead. It's OK.
• 5:33
  It's. OK, you like Lauren Khalil when
• 5:35
  Tommy and Sean talk about movies?
• 5:37
  Oh. CrossFit.
• 5:39
  I I have no idea. CrossFit.
• 5:42
  Yeah. So it's CrossFit.
• 5:46
  That's a go. Wow.
• 5:47
  Go ahead, top it. Thanks, John.
• 5:51
  Yeah, going into Mayhem like obviously like you got
• 5:56
  overlooked on World Fitness Project.
• 5:59
  So you just go straight in for CrossFit Games and like going
• 6:06
  into Mayhem like it's a strong field, right.
• 6:09
  And I, I know some of the women just dropped out, but like, we
• 6:13
  had talked about it before, like with all the competitions going
• 6:18
  on and like having to like plan schedules and like, if you
• 6:23
  didn't make it this one, you have to do like TFX and you get
• 6:26
  to do the online semifinal. Was there any like thought of
• 6:30
  like maybe I don't do this when I go do TFX or the semifinals
• 6:35
  or? So like that, this was actually
• 6:38
  something I kind of talked about earlier with Be friendly.
• 6:43
  Actually, it was how who Brian and PC so like literally today.
• 6:51
  So I feel like going in, like if you go into this competition,
• 6:56
  obviously it's like a month before everything else and then
• 7:00
  there's multiple options and you think like, Hey, if I if it's
• 7:06
  not there this weekend, if I'm not having a a good score,
• 7:11
  whatever, there's options AB and C later down the road.
• 7:15
  And I wasn't going to go in thinking that because the next
• 7:19
  option was the online. And to me, I'm like, I, I'm not
• 7:25
  doing the online, like absolutely not.
• 7:27
  I'm I feel like I'm just not very good online.
• 7:31
  To me, that's like, no, if I'm going to my ticket to the games
• 7:35
  is going to be through an in person event and let's say I
• 7:39
  didn't have a good weekend and then I have to do the online
• 7:42
  because you'd be an idiot not to.
• 7:43
  They're taking 11, you don't do that.
• 7:45
  And then you have to wait for TFX or Norcal or whatever.
• 7:49
  So yeah, I just kind of went in with the mindset of like this is
• 7:53
  the only option and I'm getting my games ticket no matter what.
• 7:56
  Like there was no other. And it's kind of like all the
• 8:00
  other years, right? Like you have one chance.
• 8:02
  And so I saw that this weekend did.
• 8:05
  Did you hear anybody talk about like, will I have other chances,
• 8:08
  like maybe coming in with a different mindset?
• 8:10
  Was that kind of discussed or heard anybody else discussing
• 8:13
  that while you're in Cookeville? Kind of not really like not
• 8:17
  directly, but maybe more so in the weeks leading up to the
• 8:24
  competition, like people were were like getting excited
• 8:28
  because they're like, oh, confirm my invite for this,
• 8:30
  confirm my invite for that, which like I also confirmed mine
• 8:35
  for both Norcal and TFX. But I also did it like with the
• 8:40
  insurance of like, I'm probably not going to do this.
• 8:43
  So I'll get the refund later if I have to.
• 8:48
  But yeah, even I feel like some of the people who were close to
• 8:53
  me when they started releasing some of the like the judges,
• 8:57
  standard stuff for the online and they're like, OK, well we
• 9:01
  need to make sure that you have two judges and have this and
• 9:04
  that. And I'm just like, no, I'm not
• 9:07
  going to do the online. So I don't need that.
• 9:10
  I mean, I think that's a great mindset to have though.
• 9:12
  Like if you have a Plan B, like sometimes plan A doesn't come
• 9:17
  out like as well as it could be if you don't have Plan B.
• 9:21
  That's right. Which like, yeah, there are
• 9:25
  other options that could have happened, but I don't want to be
• 9:29
  going in already thinking that, you know, 'cause then you're
• 9:31
  just, you're just, how about? Propel.
• 9:34
  Your mind? Yeah.
• 9:37
  Right looked up these bee friendly people you're talking
• 9:39
  about and they ranked you at 8th.
• 9:43
  It's a good thing you came on this show because I picked you
• 9:47
  to go to the games from Mayhem. So you, you, you know I'm your
• 9:52
  guy. And if we don't count Alexis, I
• 9:54
  also picked you to. Go to the game.
• 10:02
  Well, that's how that's how it worked out.
• 10:05
  Honestly, I I actually thought that it was going to be me and
• 10:09
  Alexis qualifying before the weekend started.
• 10:14
  Yeah, one of the things that I one of the things I noticed.
• 10:17
  You know. Saturday afternoon, the first
• 10:19
  event like it was hot in there. Yeah.
• 10:22
  Like it was like, I would say probably what, 8085 humid.
• 10:26
  Humid. So muggy.
• 10:28
  And outside wasn't so bad, but I feel like, I mean, you're from
• 10:32
  Texas. Yeah.
• 10:33
  I feel like others who came from the North who haven't been in
• 10:35
  the heat for months may have had a little bit of an issue.
• 10:39
  Do you agree with that? I definitely thought that going
• 10:42
  into it and like, and we know, 'cause we're like Tennessee,
• 10:46
  it's, it's humid there. Like, you know, it's gonna be
• 10:49
  how it was. And so leading up to it, like,
• 10:53
  or like seeing some of the people who, yeah, they're coming
• 10:56
  from up north and I'm like, like, are they prepared for
• 11:01
  this? Oh, oh, she went to worms.
• 11:03
  She went to bed. Look.
• 11:04
  At that look. At that.
• 11:07
  So yeah, not bad. In fact, before the event, I
• 11:13
  drank so much salts and electrolytes because I knew that
• 11:18
  it was it was going to be a rough, rough first event for
• 11:20
  sure. I kind of mentioned it in my
• 11:24
  first question, but like the World Fitness project didn't
• 11:28
  extend you an invite. Was there maybe a little bit of
• 11:30
  a chip on your shoulder after you're going up against the
• 11:33
  quite a few of them that are there like you've been to the
• 11:37
  Games, what now? Three years?
• 11:39
  Is it 2 years? This will be my third.
• 11:42
  Yeah. I was pretty bitter about not
• 11:44
  getting an invite. I really was like, I'd like to
• 11:48
  do it, but I don't want to do these qualifiers.
• 11:51
  And then they released their qualifier on like, a Wednesday.
• 11:56
  And then a couple days passed, and I was just like, should I be
• 11:59
  doing this? Like, maybe I should just try
• 12:01
  it? And like, at this time, my coach
• 12:03
  was out of town for a week. My husband's out of town.
• 12:06
  So I was like, maybe I should just do these workouts, like,
• 12:10
  why not? And so and then I realized it
• 12:13
  was the type of qualifier we have to like, weigh all the
• 12:15
  weights and weigh the barbells and the whole mess.
• 12:17
  And so I was like, OK, like, let me bug some of my friends to
• 12:21
  come help me and stuff. And then by the time you're set
• 12:23
  up and I'm like, OK, like, do the workout.
• 12:27
  And then I did it. And I was like, I don't think
• 12:30
  that was good enough. But it just didn't feel worth it
• 12:33
  to try again, you know? And so I was like, man, like,
• 12:40
  should I even submit my scores? But then I was like, well, you
• 12:42
  never know. So put them in.
• 12:45
  And then they sent me my my Challenger invite.
• 12:50
  And I was like. OK, it's kind of funny.
• 12:55
  Two of the four or three of the four right qualifiers did not
• 13:00
  get an invite for WFP. Yeah.
• 13:07
  Abby, Fee and Colton, three of the four people of the first
• 13:13
  four people that are going to the games, got their first
• 13:15
  ticket. And it's not like it's a field
• 13:17
  of people who don't who they don't have an invite either.
• 13:20
  And Austin only got it. Austin only got it because Saxon
• 13:25
  joined the the like team and is not competing, right.
• 13:29
  So otherwise they've been all four.
• 13:31
  Yeah, it would have been if Saxon had stayed in.
• 13:33
  It would have been all four. Pretty wild.
• 13:36
  Yeah, that, that's pretty crazy, but I don't know, we just we're
• 13:43
  like, we'll do it. I mean, I should probably be
• 13:44
  doing some stuff for Mayhem because it was like a week later
• 13:48
  and then. Probably.
• 13:50
  Yeah, I feel like I just didn't have the right like mindset.
• 13:54
  I was like kind of sneaking them in and, you know, I and
• 13:58
  something like that. You have to really want to do
• 14:00
  it. And I don't want to say I was
• 14:02
  like careless, but in a way, kind of.
• 14:06
  Yeah, Yeah. Going back to Mayhem, when the
• 14:10
  the workouts I guess were on the sheet there, did you try to
• 14:14
  like, do you like first of all, do you like doing any of the
• 14:16
  workouts ahead of time? Did you play the game of going
• 14:19
  through the rabbit hole of? Oh, she did Isabel about 37
• 14:22
  times before. She went.
• 14:24
  Out there. I I did do Isabel like on that
• 14:26
  Monday or Tuesday. Yeah, yeah, once.
• 14:31
  Well, when they first released the picture, I wasn't sure if
• 14:34
  that really was like, oh, these are the workouts.
• 14:37
  Like those are it. I thought that there was like
• 14:38
  one in there and then a few days later, whatever they, they
• 14:44
  message us and they're like, hey, can you guess which
• 14:46
  workouts they are? And then I was like, oh, OK, so
• 14:49
  they're on the picture. And so then I broke them down
• 14:53
  into like little categories and was like, OK, well, these are
• 14:55
  all the ones with the GHDS. These are all the ones with Echo
• 14:58
  bike. These are all like these.
• 15:01
  But yeah, we, we did some. But yeah, I mean, you can't do
• 15:11
  them all. You can try, you know, and then
• 15:16
  we just try and practice like stuff that you know, is going to
• 15:19
  be there. I mean, they put on their social
• 15:21
  media the obstacle as a way, I think, to trick people.
• 15:25
  And so then we're all like, Oh yeah, let's practice the
• 15:27
  obstacle. Or like, you know, a heavy rope.
• 15:29
  They do a lot of stuff like that, but there's certain
• 15:31
  things, you know? I mean, you know, there's going
• 15:32
  to be some sort of legless Rd. climb workout, you know?
• 15:36
  GHDS for sure. GHDS That was definitely a
• 15:39
  movement that going into the competition, I should have
• 15:42
  definitely done more of. And we knew, like me and my
• 15:47
  coach were like, I should be doing more of these.
• 15:49
  But then it's already like time to go and it just went by so
• 15:53
  fast. I don't know, April came so
• 15:55
  quickly. We're like, all right, let's go
• 15:57
  compete, let's do it. I know, I know people say like
• 16:00
  it's mayhem kind of mayhem home cooking with the programming,
• 16:03
  but I feel like everybody knows what you're what you're going
• 16:06
  for. Like if you know you're going in
• 16:08
  the mayhem classic, you're like you what you just said, you're
• 16:11
  doing all that stuff too. It's I don't think it's mayhem
• 16:14
  cooking. It's just what they like to do.
• 16:17
  Yeah. And that that was the thing,
• 16:19
  like even with some of like the weirder stuff, like the maybe
• 16:22
  not weird, but like a heavy jump rope, they like to do that a lot
• 16:25
  of their programming. And like the obstacle, it's
• 16:28
  like, yeah, they could make us do that.
• 16:31
  But are they? Would that make sense as far as
• 16:34
  getting the two people to go to the games?
• 16:37
  You know they'd rather put something else in.
• 16:41
  Yeah. Did you like the first five
• 16:44
  workouts and then maybe the compressed schedule of not
• 16:48
  having a whole lot of time, not spreading out over the whole
• 16:50
  day? I, I really liked that actually
• 16:53
  it, it felt like literally 36 hours that we did the whole
• 16:57
  competition and just how we went and then we came back and we're
• 17:00
  like, all right, in an hour we're getting called again.
• 17:03
  So you just didn't have time to, you know, get too lost or cool
• 17:08
  off too much. And I I actually like that a
• 17:10
  lot. Do you think the real fittest
• 17:13
  people come out in atmospheres like that because it tests your
• 17:15
  ability to recover so much and not just be fresh for
• 17:18
  everything? Maybe, yeah.
• 17:22
  Or I mean, maybe not even fittest, but the just the
• 17:24
  ability to endure. I, I feel like that's a staple
• 17:28
  of Mayhem competition because Rich was always great at that,
• 17:34
  right? It's not that he got better, he
• 17:36
  just didn't get worse and everybody else got worse.
• 17:39
  Yeah. I mean, you saw that like after
• 17:41
  the first event, there were people who did not recover, like
• 17:45
  they were done and they just could not perform after that.
• 17:51
  Was there was there a workout that surprised you on kind of
• 17:55
  how you felt afterwards? For me, like the hardest workout
• 18:02
  was the 4th one with the the GHDS and say walking all that,
• 18:06
  that one just I I needed like 20 minutes just to like not feel
• 18:11
  like I was going to throw up like my brain was over here.
• 18:16
  I just. It's being inverted so much.
• 18:20
  Yeah. And just, I don't know, 'cause
• 18:22
  like the way you breathe differently on GHD is like at
• 18:25
  one point I like I smacked the pen out of my judge's hand and
• 18:29
  I'm like, and then you're going upside down and you're just
• 18:32
  constantly, it's hard not to start breath holding and just to
• 18:36
  keep your everything consistent. Yeah.
• 18:39
  And then go into the final event, Tyler's going to leave
• 18:44
  what? He he doesn't want to hear
• 18:47
  about. The final, the, you know, those
• 18:52
  fast workouts you did, you have an idea of where you needed to
• 18:55
  be like where you did you have a game plan going into it like I
• 18:58
  need to just, you know, keep an eye on Emily or is it just run
• 19:03
  your own race? Yeah, I mean, going into the
• 19:07
  last workout that was something like we're we're very aware of
• 19:10
  where the points are AT. And you also kind of know like
• 19:15
  who's going to win that event, you know, where this person's
• 19:18
  roughly going to end up. So it's it's pretty nerve
• 19:22
  wracking because you know, it's going to be so close.
• 19:26
  And yeah, I mean, some people are, but like, as soon as it
• 19:31
  finishes, like you, you know what you got, you know, like
• 19:34
  they're like, oh, I have no idea where the standings are or
• 19:37
  whatever happens, happens. And I'm like, no, like you're
• 19:40
  telling me you weren't counting right now.
• 19:42
  Like you didn't just one 2-3 people to finish ahead of you or
• 19:45
  behind you. Like, come on, you know?
• 19:48
  So you have that, you have that in your mind then as you're as
• 19:51
  you're going through it. Yeah, like obviously do the best
• 19:56
  you can, but you do have to just, you know, be aware of
• 19:59
  those things. Was there a moment of fear when
• 20:02
  you saw Emily get off 1st? I kind of knew she was probably
• 20:07
  going to win the event, so it kind.
• 20:10
  Of you don't really know where everybody else is at until until
• 20:12
  you get off. Yeah, it matters more like
• 20:14
  where, like how I finish and then how many people finished
• 20:19
  behind or between me and Phi so. So you knew right away like you
• 20:25
  crossed the finish line. You're you're you're trying to
• 20:27
  run to the to the bopper there. You pretty much had an idea that
• 20:30
  you were. Yeah, you kind of knew where
• 20:33
  things were, 'cause I knew from the first heat it was just
• 20:37
  Alexis's time, which hers was a few seconds behind mine, which
• 20:41
  meant Emily, Claudia and me, and then times after that.
• 20:48
  Yeah. I'm pretty sure Fee had no idea.
• 20:51
  She was just hoping. I think she was just going for
• 20:54
  it. Like.
• 20:55
  I think like. Please God, let it.
• 20:59
  Be enough like like I. Think even afterwards she's
• 21:02
  like, I have no idea where it it I ended up and I'm like fee, you
• 21:05
  know you won. Like, come on.
• 21:08
  But. You all right there, Tyler?
• 21:11
  I'm having issues. It's fun.
• 21:16
  Well, now you have. Four months till the Games.
• 21:22
  It's a It's a long time to prep. Yeah, that's a long time.
• 21:27
  And I feel like it's really easy to kind of get too far gone and
• 21:33
  too far out of it. And so that's something we're
• 21:35
  talking about is like, should we do another competition from here
• 21:40
  to the Games just to stay fresh? So we might, we're just not sure
• 21:46
  yet. Well, I think you should do
• 21:48
  Norcal just to have fun. Not because I'm like
• 21:51
  commentating and it's going to be more fun for me, but I just
• 21:54
  think Norcal would be a fun competition to do be in
• 21:56
  California. It's nice.
• 21:58
  No, I I agree that that was the one that we're like talking
• 22:01
  about 'cause it's also good timing.
• 22:03
  It's in June also. Has a $85,000 prize purse.
• 22:08
  Oh, really? Spin Spin just rocked her world.
• 22:17
  Like is that first place? I don't think they've put it
• 22:19
  down by, they don't think they're on the breakdown, but
• 22:21
  it's. But Norcal's been known to give
• 22:24
  first place like. 20. 5% of the prize pool and then second place
• 22:29
  and 3rd get like 10 the next 10%.
• 22:32
  Yeah, yeah, that's pretty good. And I've, I've never done Norcal
• 22:36
  before, so it'd be cool to just, you know.
• 22:39
  Hattie's on team, Team N Cal. Yes, and I would see Hattie and
• 22:45
  all the girls got to do it, you know?
• 22:48
  Yes, I bet. Yes, I think yeah.
• 22:50
  I think first place last two years was like 25,000.
• 22:53
  So. So yeah, it's a, it's a decent
• 22:56
  price purse, so. Not bad, not bad.
• 22:58
  You already have your ticket, you just go make some more extra
• 23:00
  money and. That's what Colton's going to
• 23:01
  do. Yeah, yeah, 'cause the other
• 23:05
  option was TFX, but it, it just didn't make sense time wise and
• 23:11
  all that. So I think we're all, we might
• 23:14
  go and hang out. I have some friends who are
• 23:17
  competing, but I think I I wanted to give my spot to
• 23:22
  somebody else. There he is.
• 23:25
  Very fun. OK, yeah, while we're at it,
• 23:27
  let's. Just invite, you know, other
• 23:29
  games people that get their ticket too.
• 23:31
  Let's just make this a fun exhibition and we're just, we
• 23:35
  get basically a second games. Is the who's programming that
• 23:39
  event? I think the guy's running it
• 23:42
  right, yeah. So I think it's just Blair and
• 23:43
  Ben, yeah. Blair, Morrison and.
• 23:46
  They're the ones that did the traversing double unders and
• 23:50
  they did. What else do they do?
• 23:51
  I think. We hold the buckets.
• 23:53
  The bucket holds, yeah. Interesting, interesting events.
• 23:57
  It's a very much an old school feel to it.
• 24:00
  Yeah, how good. Are you holding holding buckets,
• 24:02
  Abby? It was straight arms, yeah.
• 24:06
  Obviously. Well, pretty straight, yeah,
• 24:09
  unless you're a pool boy. And then you.
• 24:12
  Get a little. OK, I'll go practice after this.
• 24:18
  The bucket hold champ and then they ended up not counting it
• 24:20
  because. He's so, he's so proud of
• 24:22
  himself. He like he beat, he ended up
• 24:24
  beating Colton and Taylor and this is just holding a bucket
• 24:28
  and he's just, he never lets anybody ever forget it.
• 24:31
  It's the weirdest thing to be good at.
• 24:33
  Wow. And then he dump it out.
• 24:35
  Or like maybe he's just holding an empty bucket.
• 24:38
  No, he's just got really strong, really strong forearms and
• 24:42
  delts. Just, you know, he practices at
• 24:44
  home a lot with it. You don't warm up with like
• 24:48
  bucket hold carries and stuff like that.
• 24:50
  That's not something in your training.
• 24:53
  More of. The Barbara the.
• 24:56
  Farmers. Yeah, you might.
• 24:57
  You might need pool Boy as your coach.
• 24:59
  I don't think you're going to make it to the Games that way.
• 25:01
  Oh, wait. Oh my God, I'm imagining.
• 25:14
  You should do that at Norcal. That's what you should do.
• 25:16
  Like like. Please.
• 25:18
  While we have you like that's yeah, we could just have fun
• 25:22
  with that whole competition. It'd be great.
• 25:25
  We'll get somewhere. I'm signed up.
• 25:27
  I'm doing it. There you go.
• 25:29
  Well, I appreciate you stopping by.
• 25:31
  Congratulations on punching your ticket to the Games and good
• 25:35
  luck in four months. Yeah, in.
• 25:38
  Four months, That's so far away. You know, come here before you
• 25:42
  know it, though, so that's. True, yeah.
• 25:46
  Well, go get some rest and. I guess, yeah.
• 25:51
  Watch the rest of the show, I'm sure John will have some great
• 25:53
  stuff. Yeah, I'm sure Anton's probably
• 25:55
  going to watch it right now. So stay tuned for the next
• 25:58
  mountain because it has been updated.
• 26:01
  Oh, got a lot of climb the mountain.
• 26:03
  Yeah, yeah, stay tuned. It's a big deal.
• 26:05
  It's probably the bigger than the games honest.
• 26:07
  This is the most important thing you.
• 26:11
  Might say, climb up that mountain.
• 26:13
  All right, Abigail, I appreciate it and we'll chat a little bit
• 26:17
  later. Thank you so much.
• 26:19
  I'll see you later. Have a good one, Abby.
• 26:20
  Good job. See you, Tyler.
• 26:28
  Somebody moved me. Jesus Christ.
• 26:30
  Jeez, Miss Dummit. Going to the games.
• 26:36
  Good stuff. Told you.
• 26:45
  There, there in the last event, I was like, I don't know.
• 26:49
  No, she, yeah. I.
• 26:52
  See, I didn't think that that Rolf was a shoe in to win that
• 26:56
  one. I didn't either.
• 26:57
  No, I think. I think she's in it, but not
• 26:59
  like, oh, Emily's going to win. This Yeah, I don't, I don't look
• 27:02
  at her and be like, oh, she's the the Echo Bite Queen.
• 27:06
  But I mean, like the girls, that might just be something there
• 27:10
  where like in a games field, we, we don't see Emily like that.
• 27:14
  But in that field, they know Emily's the best biker.
• 27:17
  And we, and it's just, it's just, you know, I don't have
• 27:21
  Intel on everybody that was there.
• 27:23
  But like in a games field, we know who the best people are.
• 27:26
  It's really it's my fault that we didn't know.
• 27:27
  I'll be better. Sorry Crossfat, you're stuck
• 27:30
  with us. Just kind of the average of what
• 27:33
  happens on the show. First, you notice we have a new
• 27:37
  layout. Second, go to the bottom, left,
• 27:41
  right below me, High ground beef chips, scan the QR code, 15% off
• 27:51
  beef chips. So it's three ingredients, I
• 27:54
  think. Dude, they're so good.
• 27:59
  I can't explain to the public how hard it is to point at the
• 28:02
  right thing. And it's the hardest.
• 28:04
  It's so hard. It's the opposite of where you
• 28:08
  are, but it's still like your finger just doesn't.
• 28:11
  Hurt. To.
• 28:12
  Get you have to remember don't point where I want to.
• 28:15
  It's really, really difficult. But no high ground beef chips.
• 28:19
  I mean, I tell her you can't understand what they're like
• 28:22
  until you eat one. They're they chips.
• 28:24
  Is is the word for it. They're so good.
• 28:29
  Anyway, Con, you've had some, right?
• 28:33
  Yes. And you've cleaned four O 5 so.
• 28:35
  I I I ate them immediately before that I actually.
• 28:39
  Did you go? Attempted no listen I attempted
• 28:42
  four O 5 with free bird in the background.
• 28:45
  The song Free Bird and I I have video of.
• 28:48
  This during the slow portion I bet.
• 28:50
  No, no, no, no, no. We.
• 28:51
  I let the whole thing play get in the mode because I was like,
• 28:55
  guys, I like kind of high poppy music.
• 28:57
  I lift the best of that. And they're like, no, you need
• 28:59
  like you're going to need to get amped up.
• 29:01
  I'm like, I don't lift good like that.
• 29:03
  And then I missed it. And then what we did, I decided
• 29:06
  to listen to the remainder of Free Bird and eat a bag of high
• 29:10
  ground beef chips and and then I put on no air.
• 29:14
  And then you see what happens and then and then and then magic
• 29:17
  happens. And that's how you, that's how
• 29:18
  you Max out people. That's how you warm up.
• 29:21
  Yeah. That's how you do it, so that
• 29:23
  makes sense. No, seriously, what?
• 29:27
  Is going on. Go ahead.
• 29:29
  I appreciate. It at the same time, that's
• 29:30
  what's. Happening Avera Yes I've
• 29:32
  actually eaten them. I ate a whole bag in like 2
• 29:35
  sittings. I just like I just slowed myself
• 29:37
  down. I would eaten the whole bag in
• 29:39
  one sitting. Jeanette got mad because I ate
• 29:41
  the whole thing without her even like having one chip.
• 29:45
  I mean I think that's actually the hardest piece is to not eat
• 29:47
  the entire bag. Yes, this is like not this is
• 29:51
  not a salesy like joke that we're telling to sell high
• 29:56
  ground beef chips is for real. I don't know.
• 29:58
  I've never I've never eaten a bag of chips and didn't eat the
• 30:03
  whole bag. Like like like I, I feel like if
• 30:06
  I'm eating chips, I'm eating the bag of chips.
• 30:09
  Sites Y'all moderate your bag of chips.
• 30:12
  You have three chips and you put it away.
• 30:15
  Well, so like it's, I think it's like 50 grams.
• 30:17
  I think it's like 50 grams of protein, right?
• 30:19
  And so the idea is like, I'll just eat half of this bag and
• 30:24
  then you start eating it and you're like, I've already passed
• 30:26
  halfway. I'm like 75%.
• 30:29
  I guess I'll just finish it off. Did you all put the honey on
• 30:31
  them? I have, yes.
• 30:34
  Yeah, I like it. It's like I was like, yeah.
• 30:36
  And then I tried 1 and I was like I felt bad because I waited
• 30:39
  towards the end of the bag and I was like I should have been
• 30:41
  doing this the whole time. No, I'm not a big honey guy.
• 30:44
  I'm watching my figure. On me, that's good.
• 30:47
  That's the deciding factor of it.
• 30:51
  I know seriously guys, we appreciate high ground scan the
• 30:55
  QR code, the link in the description also 15% off use
• 31:00

• 32:22
  That would be. You can do whatever you want
• 32:23

• 32:26
  What if I wore? It over my grid jersey just to
• 32:28
  make a statement. Yeah, that's a good.
• 32:31
  That's a. Good.
• 32:31
  Is that allowed? Is that allowed?

  comments down below for next week at M Telford 87.
• 32:58
  To your knowledge, have the WTFFP paid out their salaries
• 33:05
  and payments to athletes? If so, when does their year
• 33:09
  contract run from and until? I think they pay them out in
• 33:14
  quarters from what I heard. Like a lot.
• 33:17
  Of quarters, give them a quarter of quarters, rolls of quarters,
• 33:20
  OK, they pay them once a quarter, OK and that's.
• 33:26
  Every three months. You imagine getting mailed like
• 33:29
  a whole bunch of quarters. I'd low key be kind of stoked.
• 33:35
  I, I really want to get like make enough money where I have
• 33:38
  like an assistant or something and I don't know what I'm doing
• 33:41
  to have an assistant but and be like, hey, I'll pay you
• 33:45
  quarterly and then just at the end then I just give him a bunch
• 33:48
  of quarters. Your scheduling, your podcast
• 33:53

  Do this mini. Podcast, John, I don't either.
• 34:14
  I don't. I don't.
• 34:16
  I don't. I don't.
• 34:16
  I don't think I think about it and then I just end up
• 34:19
  overwhelming myself. I think you can't.
• 34:22
  More than Sivan What'd? You say Tyler?
• 34:25
  You can say no. It feels wrong to say no, No,
• 34:31
  she was. She was so nice about it.
• 34:33
  She was like, I'll do everything.
• 34:35
  Kind of like I do. It's hard to say no to that.
• 34:38
  Yes, man, I just, it's not hard to do this show.
• 34:40
  I just, I just sit here and talk trash about people.
• 34:43
  I have a blast doing it. Occasionally I get cancelled,
• 34:47
  but you know, that's, that's OK. That's the price you pay, right?
• 34:50
  Yeah, yeah, yeah. So they do get paid every three
• 34:54
  months. I've heard they've gotten their
• 34:56
  first payment. I don't know how it works with
• 34:58
  somebody like Emma McQuaid, who then withdrew.
• 35:02
  Like, do they claw that back? I don't know.
• 35:05
  Yeah. Let me get that back.
• 35:07
  Yeah, HDR reel. It's my CBD reel.

  Do for you, John. It makes you feel good man.
• 35:28
  You put it on your joints and then they don't hurt.
• 35:31
  Give a softball toss and what does he do?
• 35:33
  He just watches it drop. What are you talking about?
• 35:38
  He answered the question. That's true.

• 35:44
  bicep makes. Your joints feel good.

  Especially. Good.
• 35:48
  These guys, these guys, I'm, I'm, I felt the most healing.
• 35:53
  Nah, I don't feel healing, but they felt better the next day,
• 35:56
  you know what I'm saying? It's basically a back to tank
• 36:01
  for wherever you put it. I don't know.
• 36:03
  Yeah, just see you're cancelled now.
• 36:05
  It's a Star Wars reference. Come on, John.
• 36:08
  I'm sorry. Moving on Kathy Stan, if Tyler
• 36:12
  is going to do his show while traveling, can someone please
• 36:16
  sort this friggin microphone. His sound on this show was so
• 36:19
  bad. I went back and listened.
• 36:21
  It was not that bad. I didn't think it was bad guys.
• 36:25
  I think people are. There's there's accustomed to
• 36:28
  the the sweet sound of the mic. Yeah, the high quality mic.
• 36:31
  Hell, I'm sitting here right now, I can't get my shit
• 36:33
  together way, Yeah. It doesn't matter if you're
• 36:35
  traveling or not. We were late because my Rd.
• 36:38
  caster was acting up if. If y'all can listen to the God
• 36:42
  awful podcast that was Jason and Justin and Dallin's audio the
• 36:47
  other day like you that's. Exactly what I was thinking.
• 36:52
  That was hard listen to. I don't know what what program
• 36:58
  they use to do that because it's definitely different.
• 37:00
  Riverside. Oh, OK, don't know.
• 37:02
  That but shout out to Jason. Jason does have a legit mic or
• 37:06
  one of them down or Jason. Doesn't it's Jason but he was
• 37:12
  like the Yeti 1. Oh, is it the?
• 37:14
  I think it's garbage. It sounds real canny.
• 37:16
  Yeah, but but he's trying. We all start somewhere and then
• 37:21
  actually I think that Justin has the best one, but his connection
• 37:26
  was bad or something. I had no microphone and no
• 37:29
  Internet and no laptop for the first like year that was on 7.
• 37:36
  It was just on my phone. And I and I had to go upstairs
• 37:40
  because that was where the best Wi-Fi was with my phone.
• 37:43
  And it had to put it on a charger because my phone would
• 37:45
  die being on it. And I had to like, put pillows
• 37:49
  up to keep my phone in place. And yeah, and that's what I did
• 37:55
  for like a year. You go back and watch our old
• 37:58
  videos, they they're a little rough.
• 37:59
  So shout out to everybody who's made it this far.
• 38:03
  Little by little, we get a little more professional.
• 38:06
  That's right, just all other sports compete a lot more than 8
• 38:11
  * a year. Stop whining.
• 38:13
  Yes, every other sport is just like CrossFit, which is
• 38:16
  extremely demanding on your body.
• 38:18
  It's the exact same. Football plays what?
• 38:21
  It's 12 games in the regular season, John. 17.
• 38:25
  In not not NFL college. 15 if you go to the playoffs.
• 38:29
  Right, 15 And it's like they're not like that would be the most
• 38:34
  similar, but it's still very, very different.
• 38:36
  But I think like what UFC is like two or three times if
• 38:39
  you're a top fighter. I mean, I I cycling only has
• 38:44
  like 8 times in the whole year, but one of those like a couple
• 38:49
  of those times it's like 21 straight days so.
• 38:52
  And think about like you, you have on average, let's say 6
• 38:56
  events. We only had five at Mayhem.
• 38:58
  You got to warm up for 30 minutes, then go do a metcon
• 39:01
  that's going to last anywhere between on average 10 and 20
• 39:05
  minutes and it's like, so you've played six football games in 2
• 39:09
  days? I don't know if that math checks
• 39:13
  out, but we'll just. It checks out.
• 39:15
  Don't, don't look. Out.
• 39:16
  We'll rock. We'll rock with it.
• 39:17
  No, I, I mean, I think the, I mean those guys with only five
• 39:21
  workouts, I think they still felt it right.
• 39:24
  Oh, no. I mean, I think they were
• 39:26
  rocked. The the yeah.
• 39:28
  We'll find out, Jason. Yeah, we'll play down the 1st.
• 39:32
  Jason was F dot. Yeah.
• 39:36
  We'll get to that here in a second.
• 39:37
  I, I mean, I think we'll find out what it's like in May when
• 39:42
  some of these guys are doing like 3 things back-to-back to
• 39:46
  back, right? You do the in in affiliate
• 39:49
  semifinals, you go do the WFP or French Throwdown and then you
• 39:55
  may do the TFX like. And then grid.
• 39:58
  And grid. Just adjust your training and
• 40:01
  it'll be fine. Yeah, it'll be fine unless
• 40:06
  you're fitness privileged. Listen, listen, listen.
• 40:09
  I know it annoys him so badly. It's honestly the.
• 40:16
  Best running joke because it's it's it's just every single
• 40:21
  thing that's been tried to warn everybody about is coming to
• 40:25
  pass. I know he loves it.
• 40:27
  He loves it. He he he hopes people get
• 40:30
  rundown in the dirt and like Danielle, Brandon withdraws from
• 40:33
  8 competitions like he he. Loves my homie.
• 40:36
  He loves all of it, but I, I it's the greatest running line
• 40:43
  of just just adjust your training.
• 40:45
  Just adjust. It's.
• 40:47
  Easy. Well, did he?
• 40:48
  Did he not tell Danielle she's struggling right now?
• 40:51
  It's the hardest season of all time?
• 40:52
  Did anybody tell her to adjust her training?
• 40:54
  When? He went when he went through,
• 40:56
  when he withdrew from the Mayhem Classic.
• 40:57
  Did you text him? Did Why did you adjust your
• 41:00
  training? I didn't think of it.
• 41:03
  I didn't think of it. I would 100% would have texted
• 41:05
  him that if I've got, but if I would have like thought of it
• 41:07
  right when he withdrew, yeah. Can you pull up Meredith's
• 41:11
  comment? Can you not?
• 41:16
  Meredith Vogel Thomas? The real ones?
• 41:19
  We'll remember when Tyler hauled his computer to a coffee shop
• 41:22
  after a natural disaster just so he could be on the show.
• 41:25
  I don't even remember that. Yeah, I don't remember that
• 41:28
  either, but we'll rock with it. Yeah.
• 41:32
  Sounds good. We're dedicated to this.
• 41:34
  Guy, I'm so dedicated. At Kevin H Doyle, has John
• 41:41
  checked out what kind of mall Albany has?
• 41:44
  I have. We should go to the mall.
• 41:47
  It's, it's, it's not like Columbus, but I I think we could
• 41:57
  still have a good time. It's just, it's just, it's good.
• 42:00
  No, I mean, it's it's like, where do you live, Tyler?
• 42:06
  Indiana. But like, what's what?
• 42:08
  Yeah, it's, it's like a Bloomington mall.
• 42:10
  Like it's, it's, it's a mall, but it's not like, let's go to
• 42:16
  the mall. Like, you know what I mean?
• 42:17
  There's not, there's not a, there's not a movie theater in
• 42:19
  it, you know? Food court's AB Plus maybe Yeah,
• 42:24
  yeah, their food court was. Actually really good looking I I
• 42:27
  haven't. Really looked into this.
• 42:28
  But but the the rest of it was like, you know, it's I like the
• 42:34
  people watch man, you know. Makes sense at Peter Schlachter.
• 42:42
  Schlachterler. From the Terler.
• 42:47
  Family. It's old man Terler's boy.
• 42:51
  SCHACHTLER Schlachter. I live an hour and a half from
• 43:00
  Albany and it's a shit hole. There is no draw for anyone to
• 43:03
  come to Albany, NY. Man, we should put you ahead of
• 43:07
  the ticket sales department at that.
• 43:10
  CrossFit. It's great.
• 43:12
  Really, really selling us. And last one at SA867 I don't
• 43:19
  think DB doesn't care about her fans she just doesn't want to
• 43:23
  share her why her life and her reasons why do like she do do
• 43:31
  like she went live to make some type of response even though it
• 43:34
  was hey none of your business. Brooke did nothing and gets less
• 43:38
  hate. Maybe hate is the wrong word.
• 43:41
  Less talk. Talk is good.
• 43:48
  I'm going to. I've never been in Danielle
• 43:51
  Brandon's position. I'm not going to act like I
• 43:53
  have. But I do know for a fact not all
• 43:58
  talk is good. You know from personal
• 44:03
  experience, huh? From personal experience, not
• 44:07
  all par is good. Yeah, I mean, I thought it was a
• 44:13
  little odd. I think the biggest take away
• 44:15
  from that live was like I finally figured out why her
• 44:17
  tooth looked different. Why does it?
• 44:21
  It's a grill. It has, no, it has like she has
• 44:23
  like a butterfly thing on her tooth.
• 44:27
  I had no idea what was going on. And then she's there live.
• 44:30
  I was like, oh, she answered somebody's question about her
• 44:34
  tooth. She had one of those at
• 44:36
  Waterpalooza last year. Was it a butterfly?
• 44:40
  It's like it's more like a single grill, 1 unit grill.
• 44:44
  Yeah, this is a 1 unit butterfly.
• 44:47
  So, oh, I saw this guy before John Yong Yong.
• 44:52
  There's. There's no way that's a real
• 44:57
  picture. Yes.
• 45:00
  That's that's amazing. I don't know how you like
• 45:02
  that's. There's no way that could be
• 45:04
  real. It looks like I'm eating
• 45:06
  YouTube. It's it's.
• 45:11
  Appreciate the $5 appreciation donation.
• 45:13
  It's good. Yeah.
• 45:16
  So I don't know. I mean, I think just, I think if
• 45:20
  you read it as hate, I think it's more that people wanted to
• 45:22
  see her compete. Yes, like it would have been a
• 45:27
  good weekend for her. That's why I want to talk about.
• 45:30
  I think she would have went. Well, that's why I wanted to say
• 45:33
  Mayhem recap. Does Daniel Brandon or Brooke
• 45:37
  Wells qualify given the the extent of the program and how
• 45:41
  everybody else competed? Danielle yes.
• 45:44
  Brooke Wells, no. Why?
• 45:47
  Do you say that? The same reason I said Abigail
• 45:52
  Donut was going to Go vibes. Vibes OK, I I'm going to agree
• 46:03
  with Tyler. I think Danielle would go and I
• 46:05
  don't think Brooke would I think Danielle is a a power a more
• 46:11
  power athlete than strength athlete.
• 46:13
  I think like Alexis Raptis was third place in Isabel and I
• 46:18
  think Danielle Brandon would have been around that in Isabel.
• 46:20
  I no, it's she has a good a decent enough snatch that she
• 46:28
  could just power most of them and I well, I mean power all of
• 46:31
  them, but at a a decent clip. And I don't think like she's
• 46:34
  more power than she is Max out. Does that make sense?
• 46:38
  Alex Kazan's the same way, but Daniel Brand's a little bit
• 46:40
  better at snatching out to stand.
• 46:41
  But same same way. I think she does fine and event
• 46:48
  one like I just think I there's no there's no hole in there.
• 46:51
  And then I think she, I don't think she beats Haley because of
• 46:54
  the GHD pace and Haley murdered everybody.
• 46:56
  But I do think she had second pretty convincingly in the hands
• 46:59
  and walk workout. She's good at legless.
• 47:03
  Like there's just nothing she's bad at.
• 47:04
  And then the last event, yeah, I mean, there's just nothing.
• 47:10
  There's nothing she was going to be bad at.
• 47:12
  And there's 2 events that she would have murdered.
• 47:16
  Like Abby was not great at the handstand walk event.
• 47:19
  I think she got ninth. Am I right or wrong?
• 47:22
  What that's been? Yeah, she was top ten and
• 47:24
  everything. But but 9th, 9th place in that
• 47:27
  in that field and I don't think Danielle Brandon has a 9th in
• 47:31
  that field does that. So I do think, I do think
• 47:35
  Danielle would have went. I think Brooke there would have
• 47:37
  been somewhere. I don't think she does as good
• 47:39
  as in Isabel. I don't think she does as good
• 47:43
  in legless, the legless workout. And then I think she probably
• 47:46
  does as good only all the other stuff.
• 47:48
  That's two out of five that she doesn't do as good.
• 47:51
  So I think it would have been Danielle and it would have been
• 47:53
  up between Phi and Abby. Yeah, I guess it depends on how
• 47:57
  she middles one of them in a in a workout or.
• 48:00
  Two, but, and that's not saying it would have been Danielle and
• 48:02
  Phi, because if Danielle's in there, there are points being
• 48:06
  taken and given away. You know, Danielle's not beating
• 48:09
  Abby and Isabel. That's another spot in between
• 48:12
  Abby and Fee, right. So and it would just go up
• 48:15
  tiebreakers between those two. I'm not going to do them.
• 48:18
  We it's possible to say because Danielle didn't do it, but I do
• 48:21
  think it would have been Danielle and then one of those.
• 48:23
  It could have been Emily because I mean, outside of outside of
• 48:27
  Isabel, Danielle probably doesn't beat her.
• 48:30
  But that's another spot that Emily doesn't get any points or
• 48:35
  less points on. On the handstand walk, the
• 48:37
  legless Isabel. That's another spot in between
• 48:41
  for all of the ones that you're saying.
• 48:42
  You know what I mean it. Would just.
• 48:44
  All it takes is one spot in between.
• 48:47
  No, I'm saying another spot that Emily goes down like you can
• 48:50
  play that. Game oh on on Isabel, but I
• 48:52
  think I think. On legless too.
• 48:54
  On legless and on the the handstand walk event.
• 49:00
  That would say that she beats her like she's means Daniel's
• 49:03
  second in each of those. Yeah, yes, yes, OK.
• 49:09
  She's a top ten games athlete, perennial.
• 49:11
  Yes. I don't think it would.
• 49:12
  Be but if she but if Emily beats her and takes she got Daniel get
• 49:15
  third. I know I don't see that
• 49:17
  happening. I don't see that happening at
• 49:19
  all. Like if we look at every game's
• 49:21
  workout, that doesn't happen, right?
• 49:23
  Emily gets 12th place other than last year, like 10th to 12th
• 49:27
  place because girls like Danielle or Alex or like that
• 49:31
  Alexis. Typically that type of echelon
• 49:33
  always beats Emily in workouts like that.
• 49:36
  But Emily's always right there, right?
• 49:37
  That's why she always, and she just kills the cardio.
• 49:39
  One strength 1 kills her. That's why she always ends up
• 49:43
  where she ends up. I, I, I get what you're saying.
• 49:47
  I still think it would have been between Abby and Fee because I
• 49:49
  think Danielle's just taking points from Emily everywhere and
• 49:51
  I don't think she's taking points away from Fee and Abby
• 49:55
  everywhere. That's fair.
• 49:58
  Tyler, you were there with me. What did you like?
• 50:01
  What did you think of the actual venue competition if for the in
• 50:05
  person spectator experience? The spectator experience, I
• 50:11
  thought it like we're where were they joking about vendor village
• 50:14
  today or was it the other night? Would you have called it a
• 50:18
  vendor village? I wouldn't have called it a
• 50:19
  vendor village. It was like a a vendor outpost.
• 50:24
  Yeah, the the vendor area, like the four vendor area, literally
• 50:28
  vendor. Valley.
• 50:28
  That's so catchy. You could.
• 50:31
  You could literally stand and shop and watch at the same time.
• 50:34
  Yeah, it that, that setup was nice.
• 50:36
  There wasn't like you didn't feel overwhelmed by the shops.
• 50:39
  Frog Grips had the best location by far.
• 50:44
  But I mean like so the floor was the bulk of the facility and
• 50:51
  then everywhere else was kind of roped off so you couldn't get to
• 50:53
  it. So it was it was a tight
• 50:56
  squeeze. It made it made it look like
• 50:58
  there was a lot of people there. And I don't think like we're
• 51:02
  not, you know, we're not ruining any or spoiling anything for
• 51:05
  mayhem. Like I don't think there was
• 51:06
  that many people there. I also don't think that they
• 51:08
  give a shit like they were running their competition.
• 51:11
  No. No, it was, but it felt.
• 51:14
  Like, yeah, the whole thing around it had probably 3 deep at
• 51:18
  least around the entire floor, which I mean, I don't think you
• 51:21
  can go too much deeper and see anything if you're a little bit
• 51:25
  further back. But it got loud.
• 51:28
  It got loud at times especially if a mayhem athlete like when
• 51:33
  Austin started to overtake on the rope climb, when Colton,
• 51:36
  even when Colton started challenging for the the squats
• 51:40
  on the 1st event, like it definitely got loud in there.
• 51:44
  I mean that the two rope climbs at the end were Hatfield, like
• 51:48
  the second Hatfield jumped up on that second row, you could hear.
• 51:53
  Whoa. Like like what's happening?
• 51:56
  What they could have done is after the run event, they could
• 52:00
  have brought in some like high school baseball bleachers and
• 52:04
  put them on that backside. That might have helped with it.
• 52:08
  Like the whole visual arrangement because like Judy
• 52:13
  was just saying like she couldn't hardly see anything.
• 52:15
  She's short. It was tough for me to see
• 52:16
  anything. I spent most of the time up by
• 52:19
  the the camera and the production crew because it was
• 52:21
  up on their mezzanine and so I could see much better up there.
• 52:25
  But that wasn't available to everybody.
• 52:27
  It was cool that basically everyone working there was from
• 52:32
  Mayhem or had gone to Mayhem and been a member there for years.
• 52:36
  It was and that created a whole different feel and it felt a lot
• 52:40
  like Crash because everybody working at Crash is from Crash.
• 52:44
  And so they you could tell that everybody cared a lot about it.
• 52:47
  They were all making jokes with us, like you guys like you guys
• 52:51
  can't, can't be up here. Y'all are, you know, bad folks
• 52:54
  and that so that was fun and it I mean they would just let us up
• 52:57
  there anyway, but they that you could tell everybody that was
• 53:02
  there was very passionate about it.
• 53:04
  So that was cool. Alright guys, I need 5 minutes,
• 53:10
  OK? I'm going to attempt to feed
• 53:14
  Abby while we're talking, OK? But I got to get the bottle set
• 53:17
  up and everything, so I'm going to be right back and then we'll
• 53:21
  talk for like 8 minutes and then I need 5 minutes to get her
• 53:24
  ready for that and then and then we're good to go, OK.
• 53:27
  Then you're perfect. Yes, yes, I'm just letting you
• 53:29
  know what the next like 15 minutes is going to look like.
• 53:31
  So like it's been depending on what like conversations like,
• 53:35
  you know, get into the Tyler stuff before we get into the me
• 53:37
  stuff and then you know what I'm saying?
• 53:39
  I'm just, I just want to hit it at the right time.
• 53:40
  It's all it's. All anywhere where John would
• 53:42
  sleep. That's where you insert.
• 53:43
  Yes, yes, Like we talked. You know, if you want to jump to
• 53:46
  the WFP right now, like, like that's a great idea.
• 53:49
  But you know, you do you. All right, I'm gonna be right.
• 53:52
  Back what do you What did you think?
• 53:54
  Like like I'm almost back to work watching from a remote
• 53:58
  location. I liked it.
• 54:03
  I I mean, we'll see what syndicate is like.
• 54:06
  And I know that I've never been there, but I've heard, you know,
• 54:11
  it's a, it's a pretty good atmosphere, atmosphere.
• 54:16
  But I mean, I look at other, you know, when they, when they've
• 54:19
  tried to do it at the different convention centers and such,
• 54:22
  like, it falls flat, like Orlando was a dud.
• 54:25
  West Coast Classic last year was a dud.
• 54:28
  I think there's an opportunity for more gyms like this to host
• 54:34
  these types of competitions where it's more, you know,
• 54:41
  smaller venue like, you know, obviously Mayhem doesn't have to
• 54:44
  pay a a rental fee to go get us this place, you know, has the
• 54:50
  crash feel to it, right? Like the crash Crucible.
• 54:57
  I'm just wondering, I think there's an option to do those,
• 55:00
  like do more of them. Like I think Dave Castro said in
• 55:03
  this week in review this week that, you know, it, this could
• 55:07
  be a similar format going forward.
• 55:08
  Like maybe have more competitions.
• 55:11
  We're almost, I think online semifinals goes away if you
• 55:13
  start getting more of those. What I don't like about that is
• 55:20
  it's acknowledging defeat. I think.
• 55:24
  I mean, I, I'm spoiled in that I went to regionals back in the
• 55:29
  day and I know what that felt like.
• 55:30
  And I know that we can have that back.
• 55:32
  And so for me, when, when Dave says, hey, this could be the
• 55:35
  move going forward, I'm like, oh, shit, like we're just
• 55:38
  walking backwards. Is it, is it sustainable from
• 55:42
  like a, an economic standpoint? Sure, but I don't think that
• 55:46
  that's what we need. We need to put more money back
• 55:49
  into this and and open up. I mean, I don't want to get into
• 55:52
  it again, but open up the competition so that more people
• 55:55
  can compete and care to compete so that they do sell out.
• 55:59
  I just think it's bad that there's an easy move to make and
• 56:02
  we won't make it because we're like, oh, you know, we're just
• 56:05
  not going to do that right now. Yeah, I mean, I can see, I can
• 56:08
  see your point. Yes, if we went to a more
• 56:14
  regional model and had people going to all of these things
• 56:18
  that had a more festival feel. We talked about it last week,
• 56:21
  right, with the games, like should it be outdoors?
• 56:23
  Should it be, you know, more all the age groups come back and
• 56:30
  like it is a festival feel. It's not in an arena.
• 56:35
  I think that does help drive it. Speaking of which, Syndicate
• 56:40
  Crown still has community events available.
• 56:43
  It does. Everybody should sign up it
• 56:47
  that's going to be so I don't think a lot of people know about
• 56:49
  this. Apparently not.
• 56:52
  It sounds like there's still some spots open, so.
• 56:55
  So #1 you should go to syndicate regardless but there.
• 56:58
  Is we'll all be there. I'll be there.
• 57:00
  I think everybody will be there. Yes.
• 57:03
  So the fun that you saw that was happening behind the scenes,
• 57:06
  that's going to be tuned up #1 'cause we're running the
• 57:08
  broadcast, so that's going to be tuned up a lot.
• 57:12
  But we're going to put like, we're putting a ton of work into
• 57:15
  it. I've been on calls for several
• 57:16
  weeks. But if you want to go there and
• 57:18
  actually do some stuff, you can compete in the community
• 57:22
  division. And it's male, female pairs.
• 57:24
  So like, you don't have to search out for three, you know,
• 57:27
  three other teammates. John and I are playing with the
• 57:31
  idea of maybe doing the community division, just playing
• 57:35
  with the idea what did what. Are we doing?
• 57:38
  The community event at at Syndicate.
• 57:41
  Are we're a male, male team? Male, female.
• 57:44
  So we'd have to find females. John, we have to find females.
• 57:47
  Yes, but just one. OK, can I find anybody?
• 57:53
  Anybody. Can they be way fitter than me?
• 57:55
  Yes. Cool.
• 57:57
  You got somebody in mind? Yeah, I'm going to give give Tia
• 58:02
  a ring, just see what she's. Doing right down the road.
• 58:04
  See what she's about, you know? But the workouts are cool.
• 58:09
  Should have asked Abby Dolman if she wanted to.
• 58:10
  Try good dude. Oh man, maybe dude.
• 58:16
  If he has nothing to do, he's probably going to be up there
• 58:18
  supporting. I'm going to get.
• 58:19
  I'm going to ask Gabby, Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 58:22
  I, if there's any barbell at all, I'm going to do everything
• 58:25
  in my power to bury them before they bury me.
• 58:29
  Like, like, like just to make it uncomfortable slightly and then
• 58:34
  and then 'cause then I'll just, you know, die the rest of the
• 58:36
  workout. But just just just to throw a
• 58:39
  wrench into things, it'd be fun. Yeah.
• 58:43
  Tabby is asking where is it? It's in Knoxville, TN.
• 58:48
  The Knoxville Civic Coliseum. Yeah.
• 58:52
  Who's your Who's your female? I'll find one.
• 58:55
  I know some females. OK.
• 59:04
  I'm excited, I'm excited. Oh, dude, if Alexis did
• 59:08
  qualified in person, you and Alexis versus me and Abby, I
• 59:12
  think I'm or me and fee and we we just we could just we could
• 59:15
  have a real we could actually have really a lot of fun with
• 59:17
  it. John and I just out of breath
• 59:19
  watching the girls workout. Yeah, yeah.
• 59:21
  And we'll take our turn. I mean, what I've what I've
• 59:25
  heard is that it's not going to overlap with the individual
• 59:29
  competition. No.
• 59:31
  Is it true that you get a ticket if you sign up for it?
• 59:35
  If you sign up you'll get ticket.
• 59:37
  So yeah, so you go. Sign up for this community
• 59:39
  event. In the morning and you get to
• 59:41
  go, go inside, inside and watch. And Josh from High Ground Meat
• 59:48
  will be thrown in. So much damn meat.
• 59:51
  Yeah, no. And like and like while you're
• 59:53
  working out, just meat will be thrown at you.
• 59:56
  Well, you don't want your protein levels to get low, so
• 59:58
  you need to refeed while you're working out.
• 1:00:01
  Yeah, to feed on that meat. Yeah, code spin 15% off your
• 1:00:06
  next high ground beef chip order new sponsor.
• 1:00:12
  How much is it? It is dollars.
• 1:00:17
  I know that you did get a discount code if you sign up
• 1:00:20
  through this. There's a few links out there.
• 1:00:24
  I know that Savon has one on his we we have one somewhere, but we
• 1:00:29
  will. Get it on the next show.
• 1:00:29
  The next show, we'll get it and we'll and we'll bring it back
• 1:00:32
  up. We'll bring it back.
• 1:00:33
  Up, I'll talk to I'll talk to Wilson, the Wilson and try to
• 1:00:37
  get one for us. It is divisions, the prices on
• 1:00:44
  it. Hey can I identify as a female
• 1:00:46
  and just mean you can be a team? But you gotta wear a wig.
• 1:00:51
  That's fine. It is five, let's see, teams of
• 1:00:55
  four. If you do want to do that, it is
• 1:00:57
  250 a person. If it is a pairs it is 500
• 1:01:02
  total, so 250 a person, so $250. But that comes with a free
• 1:01:07
  ticket. This helps with the future
• 1:01:08
  you're doing you're doing. It's basically you're paying for
• 1:01:10
  your ticket and the community cop or the community division
• 1:01:15
  like you're, it's like you're getting both of them.
• 1:01:17
  So just think of it like you're paying for both of them.
• 1:01:20
  I know that that Sentinel is going to try to send some some
• 1:01:25
  of their folks out. If you were in the Spin Open or
• 1:01:30
  the proven community and division, maybe you could go out
• 1:01:35

• 1:02:33
  We will give you, we will give you a.
• 1:02:35
  Something from all of us, along with your free ticket to
• 1:02:38
  syndicate. So it's kind of like you're not
• 1:02:41
  even paying anything. It's it's almost free.
• 1:02:44
  Almost. Yeah.
• 1:02:47
  Let's go do that. How much is it just to be a
• 1:02:49
  spectator man? Tappy has all the questions.
• 1:02:53
  Yeah, Tappy, you need to. I don't.
• 1:02:55
  Understand why you're asking so many questions.
• 1:02:57
  Just. Go to the.
• 1:02:58
  Syndicate, Syndicate, syndicate. Crown.com.
• 1:03:01
  And they'll have it all. That's.
• 1:03:03
  Yeah, Syndicate. crown.com. I will.
• 1:03:06
  Let's see. Listen, when I when I worked at
• 1:03:08
  these things, when I go to these things to work, I don't know
• 1:03:11
  anything about that event at all.
• 1:03:13
  I just know what I'm supposed to do.
• 1:03:17
  Here we go, three day pass $90.00 plus Ticketmaster fees
• 1:03:22
  plus taxes. So what do you think?
• 1:03:24
  That's like 150 when you're. Here, Yeah, I, I think it's 1125
• 1:03:32
  or something like that. Yeah.
• 1:03:33
  So it's half of your, half of your cost.
• 1:03:37
  Look at that. Austin Hatfield high ground has
• 1:03:39
  the best meat. That is your Mayhem champion
• 1:03:43
  telling you that. Wendy's just has the beef.
• 1:03:46
  You guys got the best beef. The best one?
• 1:03:51
  I thought, who has the beef that's.
• 1:03:53
  That's what it is. You need to drop that shirt you
• 1:03:57
  had on at Mayhem Vindicate. You can make that happen.
• 1:04:02
  Do you see that, Tyler? You see that shirt?
• 1:04:04
  Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. I apologize to nobody.
• 1:04:09
  I don't know, maybe you should do something like that for for
• 1:04:13
  syndicate. Yeah.
• 1:04:17
  So basically half your half of your cost if you go do the
• 1:04:20
  Community Cup is covered because you get a free ticket.
• 1:04:24
  It's going to be such a dope event.
• 1:04:29
  Oh, Speaking of which, I know we're talking about Mayhem, but
• 1:04:35
  it's about as good a time as I need to talk about Syndicate
• 1:04:37
  Crown. The rosters from the Open have
• 1:04:40
  been confirmed. I want to start with the women
• 1:04:44
  first. Wait till John gets back before.
• 1:04:47
  I know the stuff. John doesn't have to speak on
• 1:04:50
  everything. There's a reason I want to wait
• 1:04:52
  for John to speak about the women.
• 1:04:55
  That's generally more so than. OK, it's getting ready to say
• 1:05:00
  it's generally a good call when John speaks about the women.
• 1:05:02
  Yeah, John Women confirmed. These are the 20 women confirmed
• 1:05:09
  for syndicate crown, all Danielle Brandon.
• 1:05:12
  Alexis. Raptors will be there because
• 1:05:13
  she did not qualify. Erica Fola, Brooke Wells, Sydney
• 1:05:17
  Wells, Lydia Fish, Kyra Milligan, Lexi Neely, Annika
• 1:05:22
  Greer, Reece with Littlewood, the Brittlewood.
• 1:05:28
  She was the teenage champion last year.
• 1:05:32
  Oh, there she is. Caitlin Saunders, Millie.
• 1:05:37
  Mary Helen. Is it Sanders or Saunders?
• 1:05:40
  Saunders. Saunders.
• 1:05:41
  They're both Saunders and Shelby Neal.
• 1:05:44
  And then 10 more, 10 more will qualify.
• 1:05:47
  So like Hayley, Adams will probably qualify out of in
• 1:05:51
  affiliate semifinals if she doesn't make it in there.
• 1:05:55
  I think it's going to be more stacked than people assume it's
• 1:05:58
  going to be. What's crazy?
• 1:06:01
  This, I mean, the Caitlin Sanders, Saunders, Saunders.
• 1:06:06
  She. Her qualifying to get to this is
• 1:06:09
  awesome because she was the one that missed out.
• 1:06:13
  Like she had that spot at TFX and then they didn't, they
• 1:06:15
  revoked it and so she qualified for this straight up.
• 1:06:19
  She's going to be a sleeper pick for me for sure.
• 1:06:23
  Yeah, pretty good field. And then you liked it.
• 1:06:29
  You liked it? I I'm on the post, so I guess I
• 1:06:32
  can. On the men's side, Dallin
• 1:06:35
  Pepper, Jeff Adler, the Kale Layman himself, John, your grid
• 1:06:42
  lead teammate, Jason Hopper, Roman Krenikov, George Sterner.
• 1:06:49
  Who else we got there? Ty Jenkins, Jack Rosimo.
• 1:06:54
  Now I think Dallan, I think Dallan, Jeff and Jason and Roman
• 1:07:01
  probably won't be there. I think Roman will qualify
• 1:07:04
  through Wadlands. I do too.
• 1:07:06
  I think Dallan and Jeff will definitely be online and I think
• 1:07:08
  Jason has a good shot at it. You say Definitely.
• 1:07:11
  Yeah. Definitely.
• 1:07:13
  Probably like I feel 100% very good that they will.
• 1:07:21
  Do you think that the N affiliate semifinals will be the
• 1:07:24
  same level workouts as say last year's quarterfinals?
• 1:07:30
  That's what I've assumed. I think they'll be a little bit
• 1:07:34
  harder than that. In what?
• 1:07:38
  How harder? Like how would it be harder?
• 1:07:41
  I feel like watching Taylor versus the World last year, they
• 1:07:45
  were hard enough. Yeah.
• 1:07:47
  No, I don't. I don't think like, I mean I
• 1:07:53
  think it'll be harder volume wise.
• 1:07:55
  I think, I think it'll be harder like amount of workouts you have
• 1:07:58
  to do with them allotted time. I think no, no.
• 1:08:03
  How many days do they have? I think it's. 4 so they have 4.
• 1:08:08
  Days like I wouldn't doubt, like I wouldn't put it past them to
• 1:08:11
  do like 6 workouts in four days. Like stuff like that where the
• 1:08:16
  fittest, like really will rise. Do you think so?
• 1:08:21
  That many. Yeah, I do.
• 1:08:23
  It's. Just so limited in what they can
• 1:08:25
  do in a gym. Not really.
• 1:08:28
  You can run back and forth on 15 foot segments.
• 1:08:31
  Like I see a whole bunch guarantee I see a whole bunch of
• 1:08:34
  GHDSI see like a whole bunch of rope climbs.
• 1:08:38
  I just think it, I just think it'll be harder workouts.
• 1:08:40
  Do you remember that workout where it was like
• 1:08:42
  5040354543504030 rope climbs, GHDS and pistols like that
• 1:08:51
  workout, workout, like workout's like that.
• 1:08:54
  OK. And if Jason and Dallin are
• 1:08:56
  doing them together, like if they're doing together, I don't
• 1:08:58
  know if they're going live or not, but if they're doing them
• 1:09:00
  together, oh, he's on here. The mountains.
• 1:09:03
  Not today, man. I wanted it to be.
• 1:09:05
  So you're tuning in for nothing. I'm sorry.
• 1:09:08
  If you fixed your sound, maybe they would.
• 1:09:12
  That's on you, Jason. Yeah, I could see workouts like
• 1:09:20
  that, like that difficulty is what I'm saying.
• 1:09:23
  And that wasn't quarterfinals last year?
• 1:09:24
  So you've seen the age group workouts for some I've.
• 1:09:29
  Done. I've done 4/4 of them.
• 1:09:31
  So no rope climbs, no GHDS like. Scaled snatches no.
• 1:09:37
  Squatting. I think this will be everything
• 1:09:39
  you want it to be. I really, really do.
• 1:09:43
  Why do you think it? Why do you think the the age
• 1:09:45
  group was so different? Because they're old man, They're
• 1:09:48
  also doing Isabel at 2:15. That's really, really, really
• 1:09:52
  hard for old people. It's just the 35 year old.
• 1:09:56
  That's best in. The world I do, that's hard for
• 1:09:59
  old people, man. I hear you.
• 1:10:04
  I just don't, I, I keep thinking it's just to be the same as what
• 1:10:07
  quarterfinals were. Jason's only watching because he
• 1:10:09
  thinks I moved him down the mountain a whole bunch.
• 1:10:12
  He needs some. He needs some of that material
• 1:10:14
  to get ready for his. He needs he needs motivation for
• 1:10:17
  the online saving. He's hate.
• 1:10:19
  He's hate watching. We understand what you're doing.
• 1:10:22
  Yeah, I get it. Yeah, I didn't want to hurt his
• 1:10:26
  feelings, but he's probably off the mountain.
• 1:10:30
  He should be moving up the mountain.
• 1:10:33
  What? Part of your performance would
• 1:10:35
  make you go up the mountain. What a good attitude I do.
• 1:10:40
  I do appreciate your the way you the way you are competing and
• 1:10:45
  like your attitude towards it. It's it's much better.
• 1:10:47
  I like I'm. I'm so happy that you're having
• 1:10:49
  fun, but you need more than fun to get up the mountain, my
• 1:10:52
  friend. Jason Hopper, the only man from
• 1:10:55
  the South who seemed to struggle with the heat.
• 1:10:58
  Yeah, I don't think he struggled with the heat.
• 1:10:59
  I think he just. I think, I think he.
• 1:11:01
  Was just the squats. Yeah, I think he was hurting,
• 1:11:03
  Yeah. Those are a lot of squats.
• 1:11:06
  We got a. We got a oh.
• 1:11:10
  No. Battle going on, right?
• 1:11:13
  Funny Hill, did you hear that? He's not breeding?
• 1:11:18
  He's not breeding rabbits anymore.
• 1:11:21
  He's a full time profit. You got to pick a lane, man.
• 1:11:25
  He said he think I, I don't think he knew this before.
• 1:11:29
  And I told him, Austin, how much money do you make reading
• 1:11:32
  rabbits? And you know, he's told me how
• 1:11:34
  much money he was making. Then you said is it $50,000?
• 1:11:37
  Did you Did you know if you won? The game.
• 1:11:39
  You, you win $300,000. And he was like, oh man, I had
• 1:11:43
  no idea. And then he's like, I'll just go
• 1:11:45
  full time now. That's that's what's happening.
• 1:11:47
  That's what he's. Doing John Young manager.
• 1:11:50
  That's the athlete manager. Yeah, so he's, you know, I guess
• 1:11:57
  that $15,000 for Mayhem Classic paid off.
• 1:12:03
  Yeah. What was I talking about before?
• 1:12:05
  Jason has an underrated comment. Can we bring this up please?
• 1:12:11
  Austin 2025 Hype Is Jason 2021. That is, that is a, that is a.
• 1:12:16
  Brilliant comment. If y'all don't know, Jason
• 1:12:19
  Hopper came on the scene and nobody knew who he was and he
• 1:12:23
  won the Mack very convincingly. And the analysts at the time, I
• 1:12:28
  don't know who they were, but they at the time were like, no,
• 1:12:33
  no, no, this was this was me and Brian.
• 1:12:35
  I was joking. I was like.
• 1:12:39
  I'm going to put him second for the games.
• 1:12:41
  Dude, he was freaking amazing like 'cause I think Justin was
• 1:12:46
  the champ at the time, you know what I mean?
• 1:12:47
  And and gosh man, he looks so good, but it was just everything
• 1:12:52
  he was good at and we didn't know a lot about him.
• 1:12:54
  And so that's why this is a very underrated comment.
• 1:12:57
  This is AAI. Don't think that's the case.
• 1:13:00
  By the way, Austin, I'm Team Austin, just so you know.
• 1:13:02
  But you know, if you let me down the way Jason did, I will, for
• 1:13:06
  you're off the mountain. I can't.
• 1:13:08
  Help. I just want to say, Jason, I, I
• 1:13:11
  ranked you to win the games. So all this reverse hate, this
• 1:13:16
  retaliation hate you've been giving me is unfair.
• 1:13:21
  You made me spit on happy. I mean, we looked at the men, we
• 1:13:30
  said the top five. They ended up being the top
• 1:13:32
  five, just slightly different order than what John had said or
• 1:13:37
  I guess pretty much any of us had said.
• 1:13:41
  Are there any takeaways from it, John, that you have of of that
• 1:13:44
  or is it just Austin and Colton were better this weekend?
• 1:13:51
  I, I don't think anybody's worse.
• 1:13:53
  I don't think like, it doesn't put any doubt in my mind that
• 1:13:56
  like, Jason can win, I can't win the games.
• 1:13:59
  I think he's definitely in the running to win the games.
• 1:14:01
  I think James is in the running to win the games.
• 1:14:03
  I think Dallon, even though he didn't compete, it doesn't
• 1:14:05
  change that at all for me. All it does is just puts Colton
• 1:14:09
  in the conversation, where Colton I, for me at least, had
• 1:14:14
  stuff to prove. And he's proven.
• 1:14:20
  No pun, no pun intended. That's what I wanted to ask you,
• 1:14:23
  John. I'm glad, I'm glad to see Austin
• 1:14:26
  put it together. You know, 'cause he, he had like
• 1:14:29
  he kind of did she's. Checking on you, John.
• 1:14:32
  Dude, dude, if you could see what I got going on here, this
• 1:14:35
  is I am MacGyver right now. What what, what I got going on
• 1:14:39
  here. I I, I would try to tip my
• 1:14:41
  laptop so you can see, but I don't I don't have a way.
• 1:14:44
  I don't have a way to do that but.
• 1:14:46
  I, I wanted to ask you, John, go ahead.
• 1:14:49
  People could make the case now that Mayhem was well programmed
• 1:14:54
  for Colton and Austin. Would you agree with that?
• 1:14:58
  Yeah, I would. That doesn't take away from what
• 1:15:00
  they did. It favored them.
• 1:15:02
  I, I think the first work, I think if the first workout was
• 1:15:06
  the last workout, they still go, but I think everybody after
• 1:15:12
  that, it would have looked a lot different.
• 1:15:16
  Does that make sense? I think the first workout effed
• 1:15:18
  up so many people that they were like just couldn't get it
• 1:15:22
  together after that or were like maybe 10% less than what they
• 1:15:25
  could have been on the other workouts.
• 1:15:27
  It doesn't matter. I still think Colton would have
• 1:15:29
  gone. I obviously Austin would have
• 1:15:31
  gone. Colton still got second in the
• 1:15:34
  legless rope climb workout, which was the question mark for
• 1:15:37
  him. He went out freaking unbroken
• 1:15:40
  and honestly, if it wasn't for Austin, you know we would be
• 1:15:44
  talking about this was the the biggest statement when that
• 1:15:47
  we've seen in a long time, right?
• 1:15:51
  And then he gets 4th, 3rd or 4th, 4th right in the bike
• 1:15:55
  workout. You know what I mean?
• 1:15:57
  I don't care how sore your legs are.
• 1:15:59
  You got to hurt for 30 seconds and then you go on like just
• 1:16:03
  because your legs are sore doesn't take like I don't think
• 1:16:05
  it takes away from your power output that much.
• 1:16:08
  Clearly didn't for Roman. Roman still had some power
• 1:16:11
  output, I would say. So I, I do think that that first
• 1:16:20
  I, I don't even think the programming favored them at all.
• 1:16:22
  I think that first workout, No, no, no, no, no.
• 1:16:24
  The first workout, I think that first workout rocked people and
• 1:16:29
  they handled that first workout so like much better than the
• 1:16:33
  rest of the field that it showed the rest of the competition.
• 1:16:38
  Were you surprised to see the the sandbag squats rock them
• 1:16:41
  that much? It's just high volume at an
• 1:16:44
  intense like I think you can do that workout at 5% less
• 1:16:48
  intensity and feel a crazy amount better.
• 1:16:53
  Like the intensity is something you can't simulate in practice.
• 1:16:57
  And I think that's, I think that I do, I think it played a role,
• 1:17:01
  but I don't think it I don't think it would have changed the
• 1:17:03
  result. It just wouldn't be as
• 1:17:05
  convincing. Like I think it would have came
• 1:17:07
  down to the wire and not like all Colton won easily, you know
• 1:17:10
  what I mean? The we talked about Danielle
• 1:17:13
  probably would have or had a very good chance of qualifying
• 1:17:16
  had she competed. Same with Dallon.
• 1:17:20
  I think Dallon would have got third. 3rd.
• 1:17:25
  Because I think I Here's the thing, Dallon being there
• 1:17:29
  changes nothing from what Colton did.
• 1:17:33
  Where is Dallin beating Colton? You don't think he's ever going
• 1:17:37
  to Middle Colton? Not so.
• 1:17:39
  The only place where he would would be Isabel.
• 1:17:42
  And walking GHTS. And there was Yeah, no, no, no,
• 1:17:46
  Yeah. But the other guys beat him,
• 1:17:47
  too. I'm saying.
• 1:17:48
  I'm saying, what would Dallin have done that was different
• 1:17:52
  from what Roman and Jason and James did?
• 1:17:55
  And I don't. And the only thing would be
• 1:17:58
  Isabel. I think it would have made a
• 1:18:00
  better Isabel time because they got caught in that bottleneck
• 1:18:03
  and seven guys beat all three of them, right?
• 1:18:05
  That made an enormous difference.
• 1:18:08
  I think Down's in the middle of that pack and like 5 like 4
• 1:18:12
  guys, right? Four guys.
• 1:18:14
  So it's three spots, right? So add 15 points to Roman and
• 1:18:20
  what do you get? You're still behind, right?
• 1:18:23
  You're still, you're still behind.
• 1:18:24
  And I think that's what Dallon would have been.
• 1:18:26
  Not to mention, I don't think down.
• 1:18:28
  I think Dallon is behind Roman and Jason on the first workout,
• 1:18:34
  not or James, not by a lot. I think he's right next to them,
• 1:18:38
  but I think he's the last one out of that group finishing that
• 1:18:40
  workout. Does that make sense?
• 1:18:43
  So it in a way it evens, yeah. I think Dallon's better at
• 1:18:47
  burpees than them. Yeah, but I don't think the
• 1:18:50
  burbies made a big. Deal.
• 1:18:51
  I don't. Think they I think it's squat
• 1:18:52
  speed that made the biggest deal you.
• 1:18:54
  Don't think he's not the fastest squad.
• 1:18:56
  I think he's still a big guy. I I just think and I and I know
• 1:19:00
  Jason's a better runner than him.
• 1:19:01
  I know Roman is a better runner than him.
• 1:19:03
  I know James is a better runner than him.
• 1:19:04
  He's been improving. He's going to get there.
• 1:19:07
  I I believe he's going to get there.
• 1:19:09
  And when he's a the same runner as him.
• 1:19:12
  So you think he's better? Yeah, I do.
• 1:19:16
  And he I think he takes 6th on that one, but I think he takes
• 1:19:18
  6th and Isabel and I think that balances out where he would be
• 1:19:24
  in relation to like Jason, Roman and James.
• 1:19:27
  I think he's the best of the big guys, but still behind Colton
• 1:19:31
  and Austin and Danielle. Brandon I think is I think is I
• 1:19:36
  think she gets a spot. Gotcha.
• 1:19:39
  I think it's easy to say. I think Down would have got a
• 1:19:41
  spot. I don't think he would like
• 1:19:44
  Dallin is very, very close and fit even even if you want to say
• 1:19:47
  he's the best one, and I'll say he, I'll say it like I think
• 1:19:51
  he's the best one out of the big guys.
• 1:19:52
  It's all around fitness, all around fitness.
• 1:19:54
  I think he's the best one out of the big guys.
• 1:19:58
  But in this competition, I do not think he would have beat
• 1:20:02
  Colton. No, that doesn't mean.
• 1:20:08
  That doesn't mean. I don't think he would have.
• 1:20:14
  That was pretty good. That doesn't mean I don't think
• 1:20:19
  he'll beat Colton at the games, right?
• 1:20:22
  It doesn't mean like, I don't think he's out of like, I don't
• 1:20:25
  I I think he's in the running to win the games.
• 1:20:28
  The games is a different thing. Austin has to execute across 15
• 1:20:31
  workouts, and Lord knows that's going to be a challenge, right?
• 1:20:34
  Yeah, but there was. Did he?
• 1:20:36
  Did he make one mistake? No, dude, he ran a perfect race.
• 1:20:39
  And if he runs a perfect race, that's what he looks like.
• 1:20:41
  He looks Fraser esque, right? Not Froning esque where?
• 1:20:45
  You're no. No, no, not from.
• 1:20:48
  I know he wants to be froning esque.
• 1:20:49
  Fraser was better, all right. He looked Fraser esque.
• 1:20:55
  I did notice I felt like Austin's bar muscle UPS looked
• 1:21:01
  eerily similar to Rich. Nah.
• 1:21:03
  He's not built like Matt, but I'm saying as.
• 1:21:06
  Far as like his technique, how he did them look like Rich and
• 1:21:12
  we had heard a story that Richard helped him on the bike
• 1:21:17
  like the Echo bike like if Rich is helping you with your Echo
• 1:21:22
  bike technique, he believes in you.
• 1:21:27
  Yeah. Right.
• 1:21:28
  I mean, I think it's kind of hard not to believe in him.
• 1:21:30
  I think Rich would take the page out of my book.
• 1:21:32
  I believed in him two years ago. Where were you in?
• 1:21:34
  Rich. That's what Rich generally does.
• 1:21:36
  Rich, where were you in he? Waits to he must have caught up
• 1:21:40
  on the on our shows from two years ago and it's like, Oh
• 1:21:43
  yeah, this Austin guy must be pretty good, John said.
• 1:21:46
  So, no, I mean, I think, I mean, Rich is always there, obviously,
• 1:21:52
  right? And I'm sure he's helped other
• 1:21:54
  guys, but I, I, I get a sense that Rich sees something in
• 1:21:58
  Austin possibly more than the others.
• 1:22:02
  Should. Right, like.
• 1:22:04
  I think Rich sees what he could be and, and you know, why would
• 1:22:09
  you not invest? And he's a Mayhem guy.
• 1:22:11
  Mayhem pride, you know what I mean?
• 1:22:13
  Bleed wanted to bleed. Mayhem like all about it.
• 1:22:16
  Damn tattoo all of. It's great.
• 1:22:18
  All of it's great, you know what I mean?
• 1:22:19
  Why would he not? I did think the tattoo was
• 1:22:21
  pretty cool. I, I, I said this to spin while
• 1:22:25
  we were up there. It's like, I don't know why more
• 1:22:27
  athletes don't wear more tattoos for the brands that they
• 1:22:30
  represent. It was such an easy move.
• 1:22:32
  And it looked cool. I mean, yeah.
• 1:22:35
  NASCAR yourself up. Yeah.
• 1:22:38
  That's amazing. Like, I mean it, it was a
• 1:22:41
  statement like that. I mean the frog grip uniforms,
• 1:22:44
  the jerseys, like those were seen everywhere.
• 1:22:47
  But like the tattoo, especially for the guys like that's you
• 1:22:53
  need to think hard about doing that more often if.
• 1:22:55
  You're a girls, do you want to take your shirt off for the
• 1:22:58
  tattoos? I mean, I don't think anybody's
• 1:23:00
  going to have a problem with it. Some might Clooney's Austin or
• 1:23:06
  Jeff. I mean, I'm an Austin guy.
• 1:23:10
  I'm going to say Austin. That's a ridiculous.
• 1:23:12
  I will say though, I we talked about this when semifinals
• 1:23:15
  became a thing, especially the Super semifinals where it was
• 1:23:18
  like just two of them versus the four smaller ones.
• 1:23:23
  Who? Who?
• 1:23:24
  Who the freak are you talking to, Christy?
• 1:23:27
  Probably at, at me, at me directed.
• 1:23:31
  At me. She got she got on me while we
• 1:23:35
  were down there, man, She said. Hey.
• 1:23:38
  That's funny. I love Austin's folks.
• 1:23:41
  They're they're a bunch of fun. Yeah, no, like, I think when it
• 1:23:48
  went to just two semifinals in North America, we talked about
• 1:23:51
  it on several shows that you see the same athletes competing
• 1:23:58
  against each other multiple times.
• 1:24:01
  Oh, there she is. This is how I'm doing this whole
• 1:24:07
  podcast like this right now. It's pretty amazing, huh?
• 1:24:11
  It is until she starts to meltdown one time and then it's
• 1:24:14
  it's all over. No, I got to I'm I'm actively
• 1:24:17
  trying to figure out how I'm going to burp her during this.
• 1:24:20
  But we're, we're going to, we're going to, we're going.
• 1:24:22
  To do that, we don't, we don't see them compete all the time
• 1:24:33
  against each other, right? And so the Games leads to that
• 1:24:38
  excitement. It's in stark contrast of what
• 1:24:41
  the World Fitness Project is of the same people competing
• 1:24:45
  against the same people over and over and over again.
• 1:24:47
  Right, Imagine WFP event #2 we're like, OK, we're going to
• 1:24:53
  do some analysis, what do you think?
• 1:24:55
  And it's like, OK, I might change my spots to one or two of
• 1:24:58
  them, but they're going to be relatively the same.
• 1:25:00
  And then #3 what are we going to do the same?
• 1:25:03
  I'm going. To I'm going to, I'm going to be
• 1:25:05
  like, I don't care. Yeah, well, definitely time to
• 1:25:10
  talk about that. Anything else on Mayhem, John?
• 1:25:16
  Takeaways from it. Fee looks really good.
• 1:25:20
  I'm glad Fee came through and I I'm not just saying she looks
• 1:25:24
  good because I wanted her to be good.
• 1:25:28
  Like she she genuinely looks like this is the the fittest
• 1:25:33
  she's ever been. And I I think I think that fee
• 1:25:38
  could make a jump in her like in the CrossFit games, can make a
• 1:25:43
  jump in a tears. I think she can.
• 1:25:47
  I'm interested to see what a full games looks like, but it I
• 1:25:52
  think she could jump into the like that 10th through 15th
• 1:25:55
  tier. Not, not, not the perennial top
• 1:25:57
  10s, not the Danielle Brandon, Alex Kazan, Brooke Wells on a
• 1:26:02
  Goodyear tier, but like that Gracie Walton tier, You know
• 1:26:08
  what I mean? Typically Emily Rolf.
• 1:26:10
  Right, 10 to 15. Yeah, that 10 to 15, honestly,
• 1:26:13
  Abby Dolman, I and she last last time she was at the game, she
• 1:26:18
  was not, she was, she was she's a games athlete, but I think she
• 1:26:23
  can make a jump and and her her fitness relative to the others.
• 1:26:29
  It looks it looks like that. Whatever fitness she's she,
• 1:26:33
  she's made a ton of fitness gains and she you can tell the
• 1:26:36
  work she's been putting in. It was a suit very different fee
• 1:26:39
  than I've ever seen. I I didn't feel like I was
• 1:26:41
  watching the same athlete we had always seen.
• 1:26:43
  Smart. Yeah.
• 1:26:46
  Yeah. All right, man, I got all kinds
• 1:26:50
  of laptops and stuff moving around.
• 1:26:52
  It's crazy. Like, I feel for you, man, you.
• 1:26:56
  Guys want to do some blind rankings?
• 1:27:00
  Yeah, let's do it all. Right, here we go.
• 1:27:04
  Let's see, let me see, get this all.
• 1:27:13
  Best best part of Mayhem was going to Outback Steakhouse and
• 1:27:17
  spent paying for my steak. That was the best part, right?
• 1:27:21
  Heck yeah. By the way, by the way, I'm have
• 1:27:26
  I'm, I'm really happy for you, Tyler, that you got to work out
• 1:27:30
  in the barn. I know that was probably a a
• 1:27:32
  really cool experience. Ben, did you go?
• 1:27:35
  I did. That was awesome.
• 1:27:36
  Yeah, I'm, I'm, I'm. I'm jealous but happy for you
• 1:27:39
  guys. I yeah, I felt bad rubbing.
• 1:27:45
  By the way, I think I think Rich has gotten soft.
• 1:27:49
  Soft. Yeah.
• 1:27:50
  How do you figure? Yeah, you used to have to be fit
• 1:27:53
  to work out in the barn. You used to have to be like, you
• 1:27:56
  know, you're, you're pretty dangerous to work out in the
• 1:27:59
  barn. Now they just let Tyler spin in
• 1:28:01
  the barn like I. Just wait, who?
• 1:28:03
  Who got? Higher in the open, John.
• 1:28:05
  You want to do semi finals and see what happens, You want to
• 1:28:10
  do. You want to do the games and see
• 1:28:11
  what happens, You want to do. You want to do anything but the
• 1:28:14
  open and see what happens. I'll beat you in every single
• 1:28:17
  thing week. Every one of them.
• 1:28:19
  No, I look. Aim.
• 1:28:21
  I think. Let's go.
• 1:28:23
  I think, I think Rich just wants some people to work out with
• 1:28:25
  him. He made a comment that it was
• 1:28:27
  like since he built the athlete area at the at CrossFit Mayhem,
• 1:28:32
  people don't come out there as often.
• 1:28:34
  Dude, I would never train anywhere else.
• 1:28:36
  I remember Haley said that she used to train out there all the
• 1:28:38
  time. Like she's like, I'd rather go
• 1:28:40
  out to the barn. I can see why.
• 1:28:43
  I think I'd rather work out in the barn and not, not even if it
• 1:28:46
  if it wasn't like a thing, I think I'd rather work out in
• 1:28:48
  the. Barn, I mean, yeah, because they
• 1:28:50
  put up all the the doors and it's like you just look outside
• 1:28:53
  one and it's like bison just like roaming.
• 1:28:56
  That was crazy. It's just so awesome.
• 1:28:59
  It's quiet, like it is a great place and there were a lot more
• 1:29:04
  athletes there on Saturday because they couldn't, you know,
• 1:29:07
  because of the competition and you can see why they are so fit.
• 1:29:11
  Like they literally just out there.
• 1:29:13
  I think some of them did 3 workouts and it was by by noon,
• 1:29:18
  like legit workouts. And it's like, OK, somebody's
• 1:29:23
  doing a workout. You just jump in there and.
• 1:29:27
  I was getting so jealous because Spin was working out.
• 1:29:29
  Of course we were. We had already like we, it was
• 1:29:33
  where they were doing the show and we kept thinking somebody
• 1:29:35
  else might call in and Rich might hop off.
• 1:29:37
  So we were kind of getting ready and then they just kept going
• 1:29:39
  and then spin was like, all right, I'm working out.
• 1:29:41
  And I, I kept being like, should I wait?
• 1:29:43
  Should I, should I work out? And so I, I wanted to do more
• 1:29:46
  fitness. It was.
• 1:29:47
  Hiller Hiller wrote me and I worked at a partner workout with
• 1:29:50
  Alexis. So that was cool.
• 1:29:54
  All right, blind rankings. This week's topic is road
• 1:30:01
  tripping. Who would you want to most go on
• 1:30:04
  a road trip? Tyler, you were on the road a
• 1:30:06
  lot heading up into this weekend.
• 1:30:10
  I was. So which games athlete would you
• 1:30:14
  want to go do some Rd. tripping on a six hour drive from
• 1:30:17
  Bloomington down to Cookeville, TN?
• 1:30:21
  That is the question. We're not going to agree.
• 1:30:24
  We'll. Just, you know, I might surprise
• 1:30:28
  you here. That's right.
• 1:30:29
  I'll probably pick whoever's the quietest.
• 1:30:33
  You know what? I think me and Roman would have
• 1:30:35
  a great road trip. He can listen to his Russian
• 1:30:37
  dance music in his ears, and I'll listen to whatever I'm
• 1:30:40
  listening to. And we'll just, you know, you
• 1:30:42
  know, you got to pee. No.
• 1:30:44
  All right. Me either.
• 1:30:45
  Let's go. All right.
• 1:30:46
  And then, like, that's it. Food, he said.
• 1:30:49
  No, no, no pee, no pee. No pee.
• 1:30:51
  OK. Me neither.
• 1:30:52
  Yeah. Yeah.
• 1:30:53
  Like I think me. Yeah.
• 1:30:54
  You know now Romans, my pick for number one.
• 1:30:58
  OK, I. Think me and Roman.
• 1:30:59
  Rosa has to come with me. And Roman?
• 1:31:02
  No, no translation, no translation.
• 1:31:05
  Part of the fun is me figuring out what he's trying to say.
• 1:31:08
  I will say I haven't seen her around.
• 1:31:09
  Like, is he now like fluent enough in English that.
• 1:31:13
  I think his wife is she made a post the other day I had it
• 1:31:16
  happened to scroll across my my feet or whatever.
• 1:31:19
  I don't even follow her and she I think she's learning English
• 1:31:23
  or is at least pretty good at it at this point.
• 1:31:25
  His wife. Yeah.
• 1:31:28
  Fair enough. All right.
• 1:31:30
  First one Pat Velner. That does not fit John's being
• 1:31:36
  quiet. OK, can we let's just analyze
• 1:31:41
  what this would be like. OK, let's walk through a
• 1:31:44
  Canadian lane. I think Pat would be quiet.
• 1:31:51
  You think? I think Pat's would be like a
• 1:31:53
  grumpy old man and I would match his grumpy old man in it, you
• 1:31:57
  know? What I mean the the boys said
• 1:32:00
  he's the fun it like they would hang out with him.
• 1:32:02
  Yeah, no, he's duty. Super funny, I know, like we I
• 1:32:06
  disagree on certain things, but like he disagrees with, you
• 1:32:11
  know, a group of people, right, But the I I don't, I don't I
• 1:32:17
  don't think he would be bad at all.
• 1:32:19
  Dude, I I I would say too. I'm I'm pushing back.
• 1:32:24
  I have nothing against Pat. I've been around him enough.
• 1:32:27
  I think you have something against Pat.
• 1:32:30
  No, I don't. I really don't.
• 1:32:32
  I just we're, we're not going to be boys.
• 1:32:34
  There's there's people that you don't.
• 1:32:36
  I got you, I got you, I got you. I don't think we would be boys.
• 1:32:39
  I think I got to be boys. We're forced to go on this road.
• 1:32:43
  Trip together, I think it'd be worse.
• 1:32:45
  Well, this is like a You're choosing to go on a road trip
• 1:32:47
  together. Oh.
• 1:32:50
  John Welborn says it best you need.
• 1:32:52
  Friends like John Welborn. Yeah, because he has some killer
• 1:32:55
  quotes. Say what you will about him,
• 1:32:57
  he's got fucking great quotes. One thing he says is you need
• 1:33:00
  friends. Like like dogs, they're either
• 1:33:03
  ready to party or they're going to sleep.
• 1:33:05
  I need to hype me. That's what I love about Matt
• 1:33:07
  Souza. He's ready to fucking party or
• 1:33:09
  he's ready to go to sleep. And the sleep I think is on the
• 1:33:13
  on the lesser side for Souza. Path owner Souza.
• 1:33:18
  Just feels like he's on a 24 hour coke binge like 24/7.
• 1:33:23
  Do his energy I've never had. That much never stops.
• 1:33:26
  No, I'm. We were up till like 2 in the
• 1:33:31
  morning. Grumpy on road trips dude.
• 1:33:33
  I don't like it. I don't like traveling.
• 1:33:35
  I, I I. But you're the problem.
• 1:33:37
  Pat's not the. Problem.
• 1:33:38
  You're not going to like anybody on this point.
• 1:33:40
  It is a problem. It is a problem.
• 1:33:43
  But I feel like Pat would match my vibe is what I'm saying.
• 1:33:45
  But I get what you're saying. I get what you're saying.
• 1:33:48
  You got to be boys. Let's go 4.
• 1:33:50
  All right, 4 is good. But you're, you're right, we're
• 1:33:53
  going to be have completely different mindsets about this.
• 1:33:56
  I think we need to come at it with a compromisable like we
• 1:34:00
  need to be ready to compromise. Tyler's looking for the one that
• 1:34:02
  has the most conspiracy theories that he can.
• 1:34:06
  Oh, I'm looking at the one that's just not going to talk
• 1:34:08
  the most. You sound like a a blast to go
• 1:34:14
  on a road trip with. I dude, I stay in my lane.
• 1:34:16
  If I went on a road trip. If I went on a road trip with
• 1:34:18
  you, you'd never know I was there.
• 1:34:20
  I'm just going to sit in the back seat and listen to my
• 1:34:22
  stuff. That's it.
• 1:34:23
  I need I needed a a road trip buddy on the way back I left
• 1:34:27
  early. I was trying to leave early and
• 1:34:28
  then I left way late. An hour and a half after you
• 1:34:31
  said you're leaving early. And so I was listening.
• 1:34:35
  I had like the phone. I had the phone in my hand, I
• 1:34:38
  had the thread up watching what you guys were saying.
• 1:34:40
  And then I also had in the background the Mayhem playing
• 1:34:44
  and I was so I was like, I think Austin and Colton were like head
• 1:34:48
  to head in that last minute and I was watching that.
• 1:34:50
  I look up and this white truck, this like F-250 is dead stopped
• 1:34:56
  and I'm headed right for I'm going to eat that tailgate as
• 1:34:59
  hard. As I do not listen.
• 1:35:02
  I told her as soon as I got home.
• 1:35:04
  I start to jerk in the other lane, there's a truck behind me
• 1:35:06
  and then he slams on his brakes because I'm jerking and then I
• 1:35:10
  just whip it in and out of the lane.
• 1:35:11
  He that guy drives past me after I get past that white truck and
• 1:35:16
  I just went sorry. Oh, jeez.
• 1:35:23
  All right, next one con Porter. Also, John's not favorite.
• 1:35:29
  See, see, like Tyler's like, oh man, it'd be a blast.
• 1:35:32
  We would get into get into all kinds of stuff.
• 1:35:35
  Like this would be my least favorite.
• 1:35:37
  This would be like, why? Let's just get to point A to
• 1:35:40
  point B and do what we're doing. Just John's the yeah and
• 1:35:44
  Jeanette Scar. John's the worst Rd. tripper.
• 1:35:47
  Dude, I'm not. I'm just.
• 1:35:49
  I have an old man's soul, OK? OK, John, give me your You see,
• 1:35:56
  you say he's a 5. He would be my five, yeah.
• 1:35:59
  He would be a 2 for me. Think about all the stories he'd
• 1:36:02
  been all over the world. I don't.
• 1:36:04
  Need stories, Tyler? What stories do you need?
• 1:36:07
  Is life not entertaining enough for you?
• 1:36:10
  You know what I have, Tyler. I have Jesus.
• 1:36:12
  He has the window of the season, the landscape.
• 1:36:15
  When you have Jesus, Jesus. Is John, it's an opportunity for
• 1:36:19
  you to preach the word to this, this lost soul here.
• 1:36:22
  He's partying all the time. Do you not love Jesus, John?
• 1:36:27
  John would. Jesus would want you to talk to
• 1:36:31
  Colin. I don't think Connor would be
• 1:36:35
  about it. That's not, it's not about.
• 1:36:37
  He's just not about he's. Australian, they're they're
• 1:36:39
  religiously attuned. Let's just speak for it.
• 1:36:45
  Sounds right. I'll, I'll compromise that,
• 1:36:47
  John. All right.
• 1:36:49
  Three. All right, here we go.
• 1:36:52
  I'm strong ornament John into this.
• 1:36:55
  It's AI mean we just have wildly different.
• 1:36:59
  I want to see. The two of you on a road trip
• 1:37:01
  together. We're we're.
• 1:37:02
  Fine. We're fine.
• 1:37:03
  We've never driven anywhere. We went in the middle of a
• 1:37:07
  forest to some Random House where we almost got killed.
• 1:37:11
  Oh yeah, we did. What are you talking about?
• 1:37:13
  We're miles in the middle of a forest and then some dude in
• 1:37:18
  underwear opens the door waiting for us to come inside.
• 1:37:22
  This is true. He waved his, waved his, waved
• 1:37:24
  his sin Whitey tighties. Gross. 40 year old man.
• 1:37:30
  It was the last. Day Weird.
• 1:37:32
  It looked. Really weird.
• 1:37:34
  And and I think we were on the way back to the House.
• 1:37:37
  It was me, Bill and John and Bill and I talked the entire
• 1:37:41
  time and John was in the back. And this is in, this is in my
• 1:37:44
  prelude. And the back of that prelude is
• 1:37:46
  small, and John's back there. And, and I'm just chilling, man.
• 1:37:52
  I'm just not saying a word. I thought he was mad.
• 1:37:54
  No, no, I'm just chilling. I'm just, I'm just on my phone.
• 1:37:57
  I'm I'm having a good time. Listen, Tyler and Bill are
• 1:38:00
  talking are they're having like deep heart to heart.
• 1:38:03
  Talks like. Like like man, I just felt
• 1:38:06
  spiritual out there today, man. Like just just, they don't even
• 1:38:09
  know what they're trying to say, but they're but they're talking
• 1:38:12
  to each other. They're feeling it.
• 1:38:13
  And and I'm sitting here, I don't know what I'm doing.
• 1:38:16
  I'm probably just like playing some weird game.
• 1:38:21
  I don't I don't have like AI got I got this like car sorter game
• 1:38:25
  I like to play now. So I like.
• 1:38:26
  Let's let's just say like let's. Just say I'm playing this that
• 1:38:29
  game, OK? And then I'm just, you know, I'm
• 1:38:31
  just letting them be them, man. You know, they don't hear they,
• 1:38:35
  you don't even know I'm there. And then we're in the middle of
• 1:38:38
  the forest randomly. We're in the Forbidden Forest
• 1:38:40
  and Voldemort's coming out to play.
• 1:38:43
  And it's not, I'm not about it. I'm like, get us out of here
• 1:38:46
  right now. If we're a scary movie.
• 1:38:48
  Tyler has 0 instincts. He's like, let's go up to the
• 1:38:51
  house and see what's happening. In my defense, we were supposed
• 1:38:54
  to stay in that house. We were just a day early because
• 1:38:56
  you didn't know. You.
• 1:38:59
  I don't. I never know anything.
• 1:39:00
  Tyler, you can't. You can't.
• 1:39:02
  You can't say that to me. No, it it, it, it was the house
• 1:39:07
  we were supposed to be in, but it was somebody else was there
• 1:39:11
  and man, it just it had I had so sketchy, so sketchy.
• 1:39:14
  Sketchy. And then you like when we
• 1:39:16
  actually stayed. That was the nicest place we
• 1:39:17
  ever stayed. Yeah, the place was fine it.
• 1:39:20
  Was it was gorgeous. Anyway, who's next?
• 1:39:24
  And then they left JY at the house the next morning.
• 1:39:27
  Yeah, no. Well, that's another.
• 1:39:28
  That's another. All right, next one, Sam Dancer
• 1:39:34
  5. John was ready to say two.
• 1:39:38
  Wow, why? Are you really?
• 1:39:40
  I don't. I don't.
• 1:39:41
  I don't know. I don't know what I was about to
• 1:39:43
  say. Well, why 5?
• 1:39:45
  I mean mate, like I could see he I'm split on him.
• 1:39:48
  He would be a good three or or 4 because when he's in a good
• 1:39:53
  mood, I've seen him like Jabron. He's probably got a bunch of
• 1:39:57
  crazy stories. He's strong.
• 1:40:00
  He's a religious he's. Strong.
• 1:40:02
  That's yeah. Like if he, Why does that
• 1:40:06
  matter? Because he used to train with
• 1:40:08
  the conjugate people. I guess that's what I'm not
• 1:40:10
  saying by saying that he used to train with the conjugate people.
• 1:40:13
  And you know, he's got fucking crazy stories of conjugate.
• 1:40:15
  And so I would just want to dig in on that.
• 1:40:18
  Stories, dude. Yeah, dude, life is stories.
• 1:40:22
  But I've also seen him when he's not in a good mood and he's
• 1:40:25
  real, not talkative. Perfect for John.
• 1:40:29
  Yeah, I don't know. I'm feeling Sam right now.
• 1:40:33
  I don't know. I feel like he likes to talk a
• 1:40:37
  lot, though. When he's coming.
• 1:40:40
  I'll go with five. You.
• 1:40:42
  You want 5? I'll go.
• 1:40:43
  Do we? Agree on this.
• 1:40:45
  Yeah, I'll go 5. Sorry, Sam.
• 1:40:47
  All right, one and two, you guys are?
• 1:40:50
  We're risking it. Here's the thing.
• 1:40:51
  I can't like enforce anything on Sam.
• 1:40:54
  You know, I get mad enough and Pat, I'll be like, that's
• 1:40:56
  enough. We're going to fight.
• 1:40:58
  If it's not this Sam, I can't really do that.
• 1:41:00
  That's enough if you're OK with it if.
• 1:41:04
  You don't mind? So I'm not trying to have a
• 1:41:08
  confrontation, so can we please just.
• 1:41:11
  Not. Like here we go, Jason Hopper.
• 1:41:18
  I'm fine with Jason. I know some.
• 1:41:20
  I know. Listen, I know that.
• 1:41:22
  He's gonna be quiet. No, he's not.
• 1:41:26
  But I've, I've been, but with Jason, when Jason and I've
• 1:41:31
  talked before, I'm like, all right, I'm done.
• 1:41:33
  Like he's he's good about all. Right, I'm done.
• 1:41:38
  He's, he respects it. I'm telling you, I'm telling
• 1:41:40
  you. I me, I think me and Jason would
• 1:41:42
  get along. I know, I know for some people
• 1:41:44
  he's a bit much. I think we, I think me and him
• 1:41:46
  would get along fine. Before you say what number, I
• 1:41:50
  would love to road trip with Jason.
• 1:41:52
  There's going to be a point where I'm like, shut the fuck
• 1:41:55
  up, I'm done, shut the fuck up. Apparently he listens when you
• 1:41:58
  do that. And that's why.
• 1:42:01
  This could be the difference between me and Tyler.
• 1:42:03
  I don't know if he would be quiet for Tyler like.
• 1:42:05
  He wouldn't. I know he.
• 1:42:07
  Wouldn't that's amazing. And The thing is, you know, what
• 1:42:14
  really would set me off is he's touchy.
• 1:42:16
  He would want to just sit there. See, he's not.
• 1:42:18
  He's not with me. Oh, he's so touchy on me.
• 1:42:20
  He's driving me fucking nuts, dude.
• 1:42:23
  He tries to manhandle me every time we're around each other.
• 1:42:26
  I gave him one hard push. I think I pushed.
• 1:42:28
  Him into you. I think I pushed him into you.
• 1:42:31
  He. Knocked my ass out.
• 1:42:32
  He wasn't touchy anymore. That's why he's 2 for me.
• 1:42:39
  That's fine. He's that's fine.
• 1:42:41
  Let's just, let's just ruin it with somebody.
• 1:42:43
  Let's just do. You think this goes in his
• 1:42:45
  phone? Tyler said.
• 1:42:47
  I was at #2 draft. Only if Dallon's number one.
• 1:42:54
  It's not Dallon, damn it. Somebody had a good guess up
• 1:42:59
  here. Where was it?
• 1:43:03
  It's been to get hit with that Horvath pick.
• 1:43:05
  Oh, no, actually. Sean will be all about it.
• 1:43:11
  I depend who it is. I think me and Laura would get
• 1:43:13
  along better than me and Kristoff.
• 1:43:15
  Laura's there. Kristoff is with her.
• 1:43:17
  We got both of them. It is not.
• 1:43:20
  Either it's not either, but if if if it was Laura, it would
• 1:43:23
  also be with Kristoff. They don't go.
• 1:43:25
  Anywhere I would like riding with Laura.
• 1:43:30
  And and Kristoff, dude, they're doing it in the back of your
• 1:43:34
  prelude while you're driving. That's what you're that's.
• 1:43:37
  What you're doing? That's why I drive a small car.
• 1:43:39
  Nobody doing it back there. I.
• 1:43:42
  I would just try that star. She would.
• 1:43:44
  She would be so annoyed with me by the end, but I would just.
• 1:43:48
  I would slowly eat away. Tyler knows that he's he's the
• 1:43:52
  problem with the road trips. Yes.
• 1:43:54
  So he's fine with it because he's having a good time being
• 1:43:57
  the problem. I want to know her psyche so
• 1:43:59
  bad. I would just.
• 1:44:00
  I would just, it would be slow at first.
• 1:44:03
  You know, I'd be like, hey, Laura, how you doing?
• 1:44:06
  Do you help those pyramids? Into a Bucky's.
• 1:44:09
  Let's let's go in this Bucky's. How about those pyramids?
• 1:44:11
  Aliens, right? By by hours 5 I'm into pyramids
• 1:44:15
  I'm getting I'm trying to get her into pyramids I'm finding.
• 1:44:18
  Whatever. Show our five here in JFK.
• 1:44:20
  You're going to Sev on podcast this Laura road trip, that's
• 1:44:23
  what you're going to do. Oh my God, we just started a new
• 1:44:25
  road. We just started a new podcast,
• 1:44:27
  US Road Tripping with Athletes. We need a better title than
• 1:44:31
  that. Tyler just just, he just said
• 1:44:34
  what? You, I didn't come up with that.
• 1:44:36
  Title. We could figure that out later.
• 1:44:39
  Last one, James Newberry. Not a bad pick.
• 1:44:45
  I, I feel like he'd be, I feel like he'd be the most chill guy
• 1:44:49
  out of all of them. I think I think he'd be good for
• 1:44:53
  actually, I think this is probably like between me and
• 1:44:55
  John. This would be good because I do
• 1:44:56
  think James is pretty like chill but he's also buddies with Con
• 1:45:00
  Porter so like. Yeah, but I think.
• 1:45:03
  I think. Yeah, but but like, I think he
• 1:45:05
  just knows how to like. Be to The Who he's with.
• 1:45:09
  Yeah, yeah, yeah. And like there's, there's a
• 1:45:12
  method to that. You know what I mean?
• 1:45:13
  Like for instance, Taylor, you know what I mean?
• 1:45:17
  I would consider myself friends with Taylor.
• 1:45:20
  He talks more than anybody I know.
• 1:45:24
  Anybody you know John You. Know what I'm saying?
• 1:45:26
  But I'm I'm. I'm who?
• 1:45:28
  Who else I? Don't know, just look in the
• 1:45:30
  mirror. When I'm around people, I talk a
• 1:45:34
  lot less. I.
• 1:45:35
  Feel you do you do. Well, there you go.
• 1:45:39
  James Newberry, Jason Hopper, Con Porter, Pat Villner, Sam
• 1:45:42
  Dancer. Any last minute changes?
• 1:45:45
  I don't. Mind.
• 1:45:47
  My my my setup would be Jason Con Pat, Newberry Dancer.
• 1:46:00
  So I think, I think my setup, I think I honestly would just pick
• 1:46:05
  Jason because I'm closest to him out of all these guys.
• 1:46:09
  Just kind of like, kind of like Tyler, like we need to like we
• 1:46:11
  need to be boys. I'm closest.
• 1:46:13
  I'm like way closer to Jason than I am any of these guys.
• 1:46:17
  Pat, I've said one word to and he looked like he didn't want to
• 1:46:22
  talk to him. James, I've.
• 1:46:25
  Only I put him 5 for you, that would not be good.
• 1:46:27
  Well, I'm not. But he liked, but you ranked him
• 1:46:30
  so high. If there was a mountain back in
• 1:46:32
  the day, he'd be like #1 dude. For like.
• 1:46:34
  Years and years and years. He'd be, he'd be #2 because he
• 1:46:37
  could never finish and I would I yeah, I would have been mean
• 1:46:40
  about him being 2, but he probably wouldn't leave 2
• 1:46:43
  forever. He's just solidify A2 spot.
• 1:46:48
  James. I've only talked to him on
• 1:46:50
  podcast Sam. I've talked to him in person.
• 1:46:53
  But like Tyler said, I think you could either be like.
• 1:46:56
  He was on our show at the Games. Right.
• 1:46:57
  Yeah, I know. I think it could either be like
• 1:47:00
  really good or not good. I think it's like a 5050 toss up
• 1:47:05
  pull up a. Comment real quick.
• 1:47:09
  No wrong Dave. Dave, not David.
• 1:47:13
  Dave Tan. You know what the issue is?
• 1:47:17
  None of us even thought about that until you said it next.
• 1:47:21
  And and Khan's Australian. Yeah, he's not even really
• 1:47:24
  white. I'm pretty sure Sam Dancers he's
• 1:47:27
  tan so. Yeah, Sam, Sam some.
• 1:47:29
  There's some Samoan DP Who who? Should I include in that in the
• 1:47:32
  list that's DIDEI? Chandler.
• 1:47:38
  I don't. Know and and and men Shelby Neil
• 1:47:41
  and men. Yeah, you can't you can't
• 1:47:43
  include any women in there. Spin.
• 1:47:45
  What a sexist. It's freaking sexist show.
• 1:47:48
  I'm about to be done with it. That's next week.
• 1:47:51
  You got to get to next week to do the women.
• 1:47:53
  Yeah. We can get in trouble with the
• 1:47:56
  women, I think. I think if we did it all women,
• 1:47:58
  we, we, we would be, we could get I, I, I would get in
• 1:48:01
  trouble. I don't think.
• 1:48:02
  Probably means, probably means we should do it.
• 1:48:04
  I don't know. Dude, Danny Spiegel just asked
• 1:48:11
  to stop at every gas station while we're on the way.
• 1:48:13
  Every single exit. I I would be so locked in dude,
• 1:48:17
  I would be digging. I would really, really analyze
• 1:48:21
  how it was going to go. You'd have.
• 1:48:24
  To prep. No, not prep, but like in the
• 1:48:27
  moment, really think it out, you know what I'm saying?
• 1:48:32
  Keep your mouth shut, John. Don't say that, John.
• 1:48:34
  I got AI got AI got a bone to pick with this person.
• 1:48:37
  Look, this is supposed to be my Co host and she's just talking
• 1:48:43
  trash right now. What is?
• 1:48:45
  This. No, he's not the most hated.
• 1:48:47
  He's the most hated man outside of CrossFit.
• 1:48:49
  Yeah, I'm only hated by people who don't do CrossFit.
• 1:48:53
  I've managed to piss off two different communities.
• 1:48:56
  That's. Right, the CrossFit community
• 1:48:58
  defended you last one World fitness project, WFP or FTD.
• 1:49:06
  We knew it was coming. Athletes are making their
• 1:49:09
  choices after the Challenger qualifier.
• 1:49:13
  It looks like Colin Bossard. Who else is there?
• 1:49:18
  On the women's side, there's a bunch that are now saying Andrea
• 1:49:23
  Solberg, Ella Wilkinson, there's Linda Kiesman, all of them
• 1:49:30
  qualified for World Fitness Project.
• 1:49:32
  They also were on the leaderboard for French
• 1:49:35
  Throwdown. They all are going to the World
• 1:49:37
  Fitness Project. Because it would violate their
• 1:49:39
  contract. Will they sign?
• 1:49:41
  No, these are challengers. These are the challengers that
• 1:49:43
  qualified. And they're going to go there.
• 1:49:46
  And I think Aniol might have been.
• 1:49:48
  He also probably will qualify through Aniol's.
• 1:49:50
  The only one that makes sense. But they're all going to forgo
• 1:49:55
  the French Throwdown, which the field of the French Throwdown is
• 1:49:58
  getting extremely weak. Like Claudia Gluck can probably
• 1:50:02
  compete with one arm and still qualify at this point.
• 1:50:05
  Dude. Lynn Linda can make it to the
• 1:50:07
  games. All three of those women were
• 1:50:11
  very much in the running for one of the spots.
• 1:50:15
  Dude, half the European mediocre women because now you got a
• 1:50:19
  shot. Yeah, now's your time to shine.
• 1:50:25
  Like it is. Hey, is Lucy Mcgonagall on the
• 1:50:29
  French slowdown? She is.
• 1:50:31
  I do. I think she'll be good.
• 1:50:32
  Then I think this is it Lucy, this is this is how you make the
• 1:50:35
  games. She's been on her way up anyway,
• 1:50:38
  but this definitely don't hurt nothing.
• 1:50:40
  No, but I'm saying this is, I kind of think you're going to
• 1:50:42
  get wrecked at the games, but this is how you make it.
• 1:50:48
  Respectfully, Lucy, with all due respect.
• 1:50:55
  Yeah, let's look at the women's field for French Throwdown.
• 1:50:58
  All right, we. Were.
• 1:51:02
  Andrea Moistus, Andrea Valenciano, Toledano, Andrea
• 1:51:08
  Solberg's out. Celia Gerard, Kiara Salandra,
• 1:51:13
  Claudia Gluck, Connie Easby, Elena Caratala Sanahua.
• 1:51:19
  She's also going to WFP. Elisa Fuliano's not competing
• 1:51:24
  for a spot. Ella Wilkinson's out.
• 1:51:26
  Emily Lundberg, She missed the the Games by one spot last year.
• 1:51:33
  Emma Fosher Row, Erica Eklund, Eklund, Henna.
• 1:51:39
  Taylor Montebello, Holly Tynan, Ingrid Tondol, Jennifer Muir.
• 1:51:46
  She's in the challenger division if I recall, so she may also may
• 1:51:50
  not be competing. Joanna Skandaj, Julia.
• 1:51:55
  Blazowski, Karen. Blazowska.
• 1:51:59
  Blazowska close. Come on, Blaze.
• 1:52:01
  Jowska Blazowski, you straight Monster inkters, man it.
• 1:52:05
  Happens. Karen Fryova can't compete.
• 1:52:08
  Katharina Azalei? I don't know.
• 1:52:11
  Laura Mongnier I don't. Who are these people?
• 1:52:15
  Laura Plaza Gonzalez, Lena. Kisman, Lisa.
• 1:52:18
  Janine, Lucia Borjani, Lucy Mcgonigal, Mataline.
• 1:52:22
  Person, Marco. Martellian.
• 1:52:25
  Martin Verini. Is this the year that.
• 1:52:32
  Yeah, this is as good of a year as any Morgane Tysons.
• 1:52:36
  Norta signed up. He's going.
• 1:52:38
  Norta is going to she's going to World Fitness project.
• 1:52:42
  ODA is going to World Fitness product.
• 1:52:44
  ODA Lunda, Vecom Rica Larson, Rox Cruz Shelton, Sarah Mossini,
• 1:52:49
  and Sophia Bernsen. There you go.
• 1:52:53
  That is, That is the field for the French throwdown for the
• 1:52:56
  women. Dude I love Mirhim's name, I
• 1:53:00
  just feel like you could put some like behind.
• 1:53:02
  Me you Don't you like your version of Mirhim's name?
• 1:53:05
  I think just to start using my version of.
• 1:53:08
  Her name? Too.
• 1:53:12
  Jeez. Ben Wass signed up for World
• 1:53:13
  Fitness Project, but you got Brion, you got Bronus Law.
• 1:53:18
  Caleb also qualified. Colin qualified for World
• 1:53:22
  Fitness Project. How do you think you say that
• 1:53:23
  name? George Zurich.
• 1:53:26
  George Zurich. No, no, no.
• 1:53:28
  It's like like yodeling yodeling.
• 1:53:31
  Derrick got it. Derrick.
• 1:53:35
  Fabian Benito, who was at Mayhem, he also signed up and
• 1:53:39
  has accepted his invite for World Fitness Project.
• 1:53:42
  Just because they've accepted it doesn't mean they'll actually
• 1:53:44
  compete. But they're they've, they've
• 1:53:46
  accepted. What if it's all a misdirection?
• 1:53:49
  What if everybody who says they're going to go to WFP?
• 1:53:51
  And they changed their mind. Well, what about Jan Finkenberg?
• 1:54:01
  Huh. He will be there dude.
• 1:54:03
  He's Thinkenberg. He's really strong, like really
• 1:54:06
  strong. And he's, he's fit.
• 1:54:09
  He's not as he's not as fit as he is strong.
• 1:54:12
  But Moritz, I mean, that looks like a easy one for him.
• 1:54:16
  Reggie. Told his Golden World Fitness
• 1:54:20
  project. Oldest, Oldest.
• 1:54:22
  Oldest. So an oldest might make it
• 1:54:25
  online maybe? Yeah, good.
• 1:54:28
  He does, I think. I think he's, I'm not, he's not
• 1:54:31
  definite at all. But I think he could be in the
• 1:54:33
  running, yeah. He doesn't.
• 1:54:35
  I bet he can. He has a good shot there too. 24
• 1:54:40
  quarterfinals. Kowski, Adler, Roman won't have
• 1:54:50
  to Austin doesn't have to. BKG, Moritz.
• 1:54:53
  Crouch, Ricky. J might, Ricky might.
• 1:54:58
  I think Jay and Ricky will. I don't think Moritz will.
• 1:55:02
  I don't think BKG will. In an online semifinal, Yeah.
• 1:55:06
  Why? I don't spin you it's not a one
• 1:55:11
  to one correlative because the games are not online.
• 1:55:14
  It's the game. The games are on the line.
• 1:55:17
  I think I just, it's way, way, way different, I think, Justin.
• 1:55:23
  Went online. But you you cannot say that
• 1:55:25
  Hopper did not go as hard as he absolutely could last time.
• 1:55:32
  It's difference, man. How you don't think that Jason,
• 1:55:38
  Dallin, Colton and and Taylor last year put out as much or
• 1:55:43
  more effort than anybody else out here?
• 1:55:47
  I think if you have them do those workouts again, they'll
• 1:55:49
  beat Victor Hopper. Why?
• 1:55:54
  Because a game spots on the line and everything.
• 1:55:59
  I, I understand what you're saying.
• 1:56:01
  We watch them go as hard as they can.
• 1:56:03
  I get it. I understand what you're saying.
• 1:56:05
  I'm telling you it's going to be different.
• 1:56:09
  And this is one of them things is I've spent, I promise you,
• 1:56:12
  this is one of them things. You just need to trust me, it's
• 1:56:15
  going to be different. Trust you.
• 1:56:17
  I'm dude when I'm confident about something, I'm never
• 1:56:20
  wrong. But don't all these guys go even
• 1:56:22
  harder too, though? Like I, I get like, OK, Hopper's
• 1:56:26
  gonna go even harder than you did before, But doesn't Jay
• 1:56:29
  Crouch? No, I think Jay will make it.
• 1:56:34
  Moritz. No.
• 1:56:36
  He doesn't go even harder than he did before.
• 1:56:38
  He was just. No, the workouts.
• 1:56:40
  The workouts will be different spin.
• 1:56:42
  They're they're going to be. It's to get people to the game.
• 1:56:44
  I promise you it's going to be. How much do you want to bet?
• 1:56:47
  I could just make it different. How much different could it be?
• 1:56:49
  Making me mad that you're like, not understanding.
• 1:56:52
  How much Don't make it mad spin. Swear Abby's going to turn the
• 1:56:58
  Queen anytime here. What, what else are they going
• 1:57:00
  to do to make it more difficult? I'm.
• 1:57:02
  Compared to last year's quarterfinals.
• 1:57:04
  I'm done talking about it. It's going to be different.
• 1:57:08
  The the problem is we'll never be able to measure this.
• 1:57:11
  We will in online semis. Hardness of this of the semi
• 1:57:15
  final. No, that that the names that I
• 1:57:17
  said will not make it are not going to make.
• 1:57:19
  It let's say they're all like, it's not going to be the.
• 1:57:21
  Exact same. The exact names that I said
• 1:57:23
  aren't going to make and aren't going to make.
• 1:57:26
  It who? Moritz.
• 1:57:29
  Moritz is not going to make it. Jay Crouch is going to.
• 1:57:31
  Ricky Might keep going. BKG is not going to.
• 1:57:37
  Victor's not going to. I know he's not competing, but
• 1:57:39
  he's not going to go out with the other two.
• 1:57:41
  Toddler and Koski. They're going to make it online.
• 1:57:47
  How about the women? The women are great.
• 1:57:50
  Let's go to the women. Alexis.
• 1:57:53
  Alexis Online. Madeline Sturt I think has an
• 1:57:57
  exceptional shot to make it online.
• 1:57:59
  Danielle Brandon will make it online.
• 1:58:01
  I don't think Mannin will, and she always does good online.
• 1:58:03
  There you go. There you go.
• 1:58:04
  There you freaking go, somebody. Right along, President.
• 1:58:07
  'S. Different been a game spots on
• 1:58:09
  the line man. It's not going to make it
• 1:58:11
  online. This these are the people I'm
• 1:58:12
  talking about. Judy, take notes.
• 1:58:15
  We need. We need the.
• 1:58:16
  Receipts here. Auditor Emma Tall's not
• 1:58:20
  competing. Emma Mcquaid's not competing.
• 1:58:23
  Lisa Fuliano's not competing. Karen Freyov is not competing.
• 1:58:26
  Caitlin Van Hill's not competing.
• 1:58:28
  What the hell? Yeah, if we go down the line,
• 1:58:31
  maybe she makes it online because there's a lot of people,
• 1:58:35
  there's a lot of names. So, I mean, the women's field is
• 1:58:38
  a lot different, right? But.
• 1:58:40
  No, I mean if you you read all the names that aren't doing it,
• 1:58:42
  Yeah, man in my man in probably makes it.
• 1:58:44
  I don't think it's that much different.
• 1:58:46
  Like again, I think if you put them in said the games is on the
• 1:58:49
  line, I don't think you see that much difference.
• 1:58:52
  I think you do go to 2020 and see who the top 20 were. 2020,
• 1:58:57
  That's five years ago. I know, but we know who the
• 1:59:00
  online warriors were. 20/20 What are we doing?
• 1:59:08
  Because the top 20 names went to the games.
• 1:59:10
  Yeah, and they're all retired. No, but you see like look like,
• 1:59:14
  no, no, no, you got to go to the online board.
• 1:59:17
  I mean, I guess they're in this. Is it's all.
• 1:59:19
  I just don't have the. Right.
• 1:59:21
  That scores up, yeah. But look like you look at the
• 1:59:23
  caliber of the names. You don't get the random names
• 1:59:26
  that like you've never heard of. Never heard of Molina Rodriguez?
• 1:59:30
  Dude, Molina Rodriguez is the beast.
• 1:59:31
  Christine Best. Beast.
• 1:59:35
  OK, OK, sure. After that, though, that's it.
• 1:59:41
  That's it, Yes. Sure.
• 1:59:46
  To the men? No.
• 1:59:47
  There was another name, all right.
• 1:59:50
  But like, I want you to pay attention to like, who's at the,
• 1:59:52
  who's at the top here? Baden Brown.
• 1:59:54
  Baden Brown's a three time Games athlete, dude.
• 1:59:57
  Not in 2020. Hefner, Krinikov, Pawson.
• 2:00:01
  Games at Fukowski. Yeah, who even is Scott Tettler?
• 2:00:04
  Scott Tettlow made it, made it in.
• 2:00:06
  After that, it's it's, it's two people. 2.
• 2:00:09
  People, it's top 22 people. Yeah, but look at 2:00.
• 2:00:15
  People, no, let's hear me out. Hear me out.
• 2:00:18
  Two people on the men and women are names that you wouldn't
• 2:00:21
  think, oh, these are like perennial games athletes.
• 2:00:24
  Two people at a top 20 and this is the top 11 and you're telling
• 2:00:28
  me four of these names are going to be people that like?
• 2:00:32
  The top of this list are all Games athletes.
• 2:00:34
  No, I don't. I put more, I don't put more
• 2:00:36
  spievic on the level of the athletes that we just saw.
• 2:00:41
  These are all Games athletes. I don't put Manon on the same
• 2:00:44
  category of the athletes that we just saw.
• 2:00:46
  Manon's the only one on the list of the top 11 men or women that
• 2:00:50
  did not qualify for the Games last year.
• 2:00:54
  She's been to the games too. I'm but I don't I don't put her
• 2:00:56
  on the level of the people that we just saw.
• 2:00:57
  I'm telling when the games are on the line, the bigger names
• 2:01:00
  are going to be at the top. It does.
• 2:01:03
  It makes a difference and you it I.
• 2:01:05
  Can't explain. I can't explain why, but it just
• 2:01:09
  does. OK.
• 2:01:13
  Have you done? Have you looked at any of the
• 2:01:16
  age group video review stuff yet?
• 2:01:22
  No, but my I have an athlete that was 36th.
• 2:01:28
  Oh. I've got some stories about
• 2:01:30
  this. About set athlete.
• 2:01:33
  No, not not your athlete, but just this whole thing in
• 2:01:35
  general. And I'm really, really.
• 2:01:37
  And she moves beautifully. She'd make Taylor cry.
• 2:01:41
  Who should we look at? Let's look at Katie Canning's
• 2:01:43
  third workout. And I really need like six
• 2:01:47
  people to drop out, so. 5 have been good, two need review.
• 2:01:53
  Kylie, what story do you have? I mean, Kyle Ruth posted about
• 2:01:57
  this and then I've got, I've talked to several other people
• 2:02:01
  who are known people that are getting bad reviews and I think
• 2:02:05
  it's a similar situation. I mean, it's not the exact same
• 2:02:07
  thing that happened to John, but like, it is a good story.
• 2:02:11
  It's like. If.
• 2:02:12
  People know you, they're going to watch your video and they're
• 2:02:15
  not going to watch other people's video who probably need
• 2:02:17
  to be watched. And I think there's like some
• 2:02:20
  volleying going on for like, hey, go downvote this person
• 2:02:23
  'cause I need to get in, right? Well, that yeah.
• 2:02:28
  Well I mean like even hip and steel he probably does move a
• 2:02:31
  little bit like shit but like I bet people are watching his
• 2:02:35
  video because it's his. It's hip and steal.
• 2:02:37
  He also hip and steal has had over 30 on all.
• 2:02:40
  Of that I I agree, Tyler, but then like the people and then
• 2:02:43
  people are like not. People are going to slip in that
• 2:02:46
  aren't getting reviewed. But they're and but they're
• 2:02:48
  they're like too many people are being like this workout is bad.
• 2:02:52
  They're trying to be killer whenever they're not.
• 2:02:55
  Rod Wilson has had 6/6. Are there anywhere where there's
• 2:02:59
  good doesn't outweigh bad? We've not seen one yet.
• 2:03:03
  Well, let's see. Let's see if Tom Patch moves
• 2:03:05
  well 2 to 0. Oh, nice, Tom.
• 2:03:08
  Thanks. But he has two hip and steel has
• 2:03:10
  over 30 every single time. Way to move.
• 2:03:13
  Well, Tom. Any other famous names?
• 2:03:19
  Steve Anderson. Is what about the Kevin Kevin
• 2:03:23
  Keister? Yeah, go down to like the 30 to
• 2:03:25
  35 or 35 to 40. I think he's 55.
• 2:03:30
  I see how many people have looked at Pan Chick 11 to 2, two
• 2:03:33
  of them. But the fact that two people
• 2:03:36
  said that he reviewed, I guarantee you we watch this and
• 2:03:39
  we're like, what are you watching?
• 2:03:40
  29 to 0. You know what I mean?
• 2:03:42
  No, of the two people that said he needs reviewed, I I think, I
• 2:03:46
  think you're 100% ridiculous. One person says he needs to
• 2:03:50
  review his like that's. That one person should not watch
• 2:03:54
  videos. It's a test.
• 2:03:57
  It hits, but like, well, one test.
• 2:03:59
  You see, like I get annoyed with that, you know what I mean?
• 2:04:02
  When you when something and like it's just somebody that thinks
• 2:04:06
  they're Hitler and they're not can.
• 2:04:09
  Can we pause real quick, Dave? No one's talking about politics
• 2:04:14
  but you. You're bringing all that mess in
• 2:04:17
  here. You're the the origin of all of
• 2:04:20
  that crap. I wish that my computer freaking
• 2:04:23
  worked because I'd wrench you right now, but like just stop.
• 2:04:28
  Oh, he's just been telling we we picked up.
• 2:04:30
  We picked all white men, so we didn't even realize.
• 2:04:32
  It's like, no, we didn't know until you said anything.
• 2:04:35
  It's just a game. You're seeing everything through
• 2:04:37
  that, and now you're. Making I'm going to tell you
• 2:04:40
  right now so much worse than you want to hear.
• 2:04:46
  Like, it's not the, it's not the show for you if you're, if it's
• 2:04:49
  like. Whoa, Aunt Hanes.
• 2:04:52
  Let's let's watch it. Then sorry, let's watch.
• 2:04:54
  Sorry. It's 433 for everybody.
• 2:04:56
  Says he's bad. Let's watch it.
• 2:05:00
  God he's jacked as hell. How is he not in movies?
• 2:05:05
  I assume he's going to do all of the movements, the measurements,
• 2:05:08
  right? He should be a body double for
• 2:05:12
  Mamoa. So this is the lunges, dumbbell
• 2:05:16
  snatch, and box jump overs. Yep.
• 2:05:21
  There we go, 4 minutes and 33 seconds.
• 2:05:23
  We'll finish after this. Magnus let them get a Magnus.
• 2:05:32
  That first one was a little bad. These are fine.
• 2:05:39
  That was bad. Where do you see the knee?
• 2:05:46
  The hip is not extending. It's his hips.
• 2:05:49
  Like I feel like his hips. They're saying, they're saying,
• 2:05:52
  they're saying. That he's not standing up all
• 2:05:54
  the. Way yeah look 'cause he's he's
• 2:05:55
  like kind of weird bent in the middle yeah I kind of get I kind
• 2:06:03
  of get this I think it's. Just there.
• 2:06:09
  Yeah, that. The first step is always worse
• 2:06:11
  than all the rest of them. Is lockout, is that mandatory?
• 2:06:15
  I mean we've. Not read it above your head.
• 2:06:17
  No, I mean like of the hip. Yes, Tyler.
• 2:06:20
  Yes. The first step he the first
• 2:06:25
  step's always way worse than the others.
• 2:06:27
  Yeah, but he's not. He's not blocking out.
• 2:06:30
  I I I get that one. Yeah, I get that one.
• 2:06:33
  Sorry. Yeah.
• 2:06:34
  I think my lunges were better on our video Tyler.
• 2:06:37
  And you got naked anyway. Not for my reps apparently.
• 2:06:41
  I edited it spin. This might be like anatomical
• 2:06:46
  for him, This might just be a hard position for him.
• 2:06:48
  But I mean, still that's the the standard is the.
• 2:06:50
  Standard he's extended at the top of the last one.
• 2:06:54
  One, these are good. Yeah, no, it's just for the.
• 2:06:57
  Lunge, man, I think it has to be the lunge, yeah.
• 2:06:59
  Let's see the box real quick because a lot of people were
• 2:07:01
  cheating the box. So my understanding of all of
• 2:07:05
  this though is that just because it has down votes does not mean
• 2:07:09
  you get penalized. It's just no, somebody at HQ has
• 2:07:13
  to review it. I think HQ is already going to
• 2:07:15
  review like they're kind of standard procedure, but then
• 2:07:17
  they're going to add to it. On this, this is good.
• 2:07:20
  These are good. Yeah, there's nothing you can do
• 2:07:22
  wrong on this. You can't really fail these.
• 2:07:24
  It's just, it's just the lunge. No, no, no, people, people are
• 2:07:26
  jumping off. You're not allowed to jump off.
• 2:07:29
  Like there are people who are like cheating the standard a
• 2:07:31
  little bit. Well, like they put 1 foot on it
• 2:07:33
  like they're not jumping, but like it's.
• 2:07:35
  They sort of slide it. Off.
• 2:07:36
  Yeah, they're like blurring the line really, really badly.
• 2:07:39
  So Kyle can't. He's TTT, right?
• 2:07:47
  Daisy, I'm not sure. That's Kyle Ruth.
• 2:07:50
  Same but different. Yeah, look up Kyle Ruth, James
• 2:07:56
  East. Norman Woodring.
• 2:08:00
  Got knocked. It might be a that That picture
• 2:08:04
  might be the. Rowing, I imagine he's done
• 2:08:07
  fine. He's look fine.
• 2:08:13
  He's facing away from the camera.
• 2:08:14
  That makes it hard to judge. Dude, he's extending.
• 2:08:18
  That's good. Yeah.
• 2:08:19
  These are good. Let's go.
• 2:08:22
  Yeah. Not watch rowing because that's
• 2:08:25
  boring. No Rep.
• 2:08:29
  Yeah, he's good. It's locking out.
• 2:08:33
  Dude I mean I think this is not worth 18 down votes.
• 2:08:38
  No, it's not. I could see if you didn't know
• 2:08:43
  how to judge, if you would think that that would be a no Rep, but
• 2:08:46
  you're. Trying.
• 2:08:47
  You're trying to do too much. Here we go.
• 2:08:49
  Here's the heavy Yeah. You're good.
• 2:08:56
  Is there a no step rule? No, it's it's split so he's
• 2:08:59
  fine. Maybe they're calling him for
• 2:09:03
  lockout of the elbows, but I'm giving it to him.
• 2:09:05
  I think it's just because he's not facing.
• 2:09:07
  All of these look fine to me man.
• 2:09:10
  Yeah, they look fine to me. Tyler, I did this workout.
• 2:09:15
  It was a fun workout if you want to do it.
• 2:09:18
  I bet you. There you go.
• 2:09:18
  Because. There's rowing in it.
• 2:09:20
  You said we would do the age group semifinals.
• 2:09:22
  I did not say the age group semifinals.
• 2:09:24
  I said semifinals, semifinals. Oh.
• 2:09:25
  OK, well I did this one if you want to do it.
• 2:09:28
  So not that one. All right, that's it for the
• 2:09:34
  week. Next week, preview of Wadland,
• 2:09:38
  all 90 athletes. I think we'll we'll preview.
• 2:09:40
  John, are you going to do rankings for all 90?
• 2:09:43
  I'm not going to rank this competition.
• 2:09:46
  OK, yeah, so Wadland says Robin Kronikov, Aniolakai, Lucy
• 2:09:51
  Campbell will be there, so. Do you want to do a pole if we
• 2:09:57
  should do the mountain or not, John?
• 2:10:01
  Really wants to do the mountain. We've only had one competition,
• 2:10:03
  John. I don't want anything to change
• 2:10:05
  what I have now and I want to do one at like I don't want to do
• 2:10:08
  another one until after all the semis.
• 2:10:11
  All of them. What?
• 2:10:12
  Why do 1? Now.
• 2:10:13
  Because this is the only semi final where we will have an
• 2:10:17
  elite field to hold like the whole way down.
• 2:10:20
  It's the best talented of the field, like the best in the
• 2:10:22
  world. We're at this semi final.
• 2:10:24
  We will not have another semi final like that.
• 2:10:27
  We won't we won't there'll be two good people and everybody
• 2:10:30
  else doesn't matter. You know this is true.
• 2:10:32
  It's it's like this is the only. I understand why you're saying
• 2:10:36
  is true in person. Semi finals is not going to
• 2:10:38
  change. Methodology.
• 2:10:40
  In person semi finals will not change one.
• 2:10:43
  I'm telling you right now. No I I'll speak to the creator
• 2:10:47
  of the mountain. I'm pretty sure I could trust
• 2:10:50
  what he says. You'd be surprised.
• 2:10:55
  You'd be surprised. I want to show the world.
• 2:10:57
  I think we should do a poll and see what they say.
• 2:11:01
  Maybe we'll do that. We'll see.
• 2:11:04
  Spin doesn't. Why?
• 2:11:05
  I don't know why you're against it right now.
• 2:11:09
  John, people can't handle too much mountain.
• 2:11:12
  They're. Not going to get another one to
• 2:11:14
  the end of semi finals, I'm telling you right, I'm not going
• 2:11:16
  to make one. What if there's a reason to?
• 2:11:18
  There is not one. There's one all of a sudden
• 2:11:20
  right now. Patience is a virtue.
• 2:11:26
  Phil doesn't think we need a mountain.
• 2:11:28
  Pull it, then see what happens. I'll go, I'll go on Instagram
• 2:11:32
  and I'll put a poll up. I have to get all my fake
• 2:11:37
  accounts to go vote again. Yeah.
• 2:11:43
  All right, we'll see you guys next Wednesday.
• 2:11:46
  I apologize to absolutely nobody.
