  Didn't even stick anywhere.
• 1:00
  Just fell to the floor.

• 1:05
  people in the chat already

  Here's what I'm not jazzed about.
• 1:29
  Here's what I'm not jazzed about.
• 1:30
  I ordered my get jazz
• 1:32
  stickers paid for expedited shipping.
• 1:37
  And right now it's saying,
• 1:38
  and they're not going to be
• 1:39
  here till after I leave for the games.
• 1:42
  How is that possible?
• 1:44
  Man,
• 1:45
  I paid like a lot of money for
• 1:47
  expedited shipping to get
• 1:48
  those for the games.
• 1:50
  Hopefully FedEx is wrong and
• 1:52
  there'll be here tomorrow.
• 1:54
  Um,
• 1:55
  But, yeah,
• 1:56
  I'm hoping to have them with me
• 1:58
  at the games.
• 2:00
  If not,
• 2:01
  I'll mail some out or I'll have
• 2:03
  them at the Masters games or whatever.
• 2:09
  So, Jake,
• 2:12
  I don't know what – have you had
• 2:14
  a Vajazzle?
• 2:16
  I don't even know what that is.
• 2:22
  Can they change the delivery
• 2:23
  address and can you have
• 2:24
  them shipped to you in New York?
• 2:27
  I guess I could.
• 2:28
  I could see it has a manage my shipment.
• 2:32
  Usually FedEx is wrong and I
• 2:34
  do get things quicker than they say,
• 2:37
  but I don't know.
• 2:38
  We'll see.
• 2:42
  So what do we got going on today?
• 2:51
  Spin takes a vacation.
• 2:52
  I hear Scott ramps up the shows.
• 2:54
  I think it's been a gradual
• 2:55
  ramp up for a couple months.
• 2:56
  Spin just doing the show
• 2:59
  alone gives me like a
• 3:00
  freedom that I never had before.
• 3:04
  That I don't have to worry
• 3:05
  about anybody else being
• 3:06
  upset about what I say.
• 3:07
  I can just say what I think
• 3:09
  off the top of my head.
• 3:09
  I don't know.
• 3:15
  It's been fun.
• 3:18
  So one thing I do want to
• 3:19
  announce before we get
• 3:21
  going is if you were with us last night,
• 3:24
  Allison Scuds was in the chat.
• 3:26
  That started a conversation.
• 3:28
  I've been texting with her
• 3:29
  for the last hour.
• 3:31
  She is going to be filling
• 3:32
  in for Carolyn over the weekend for us.
• 3:35
  So when we are doing the wrap-up shows,
• 3:38
  the preview show,
• 3:40
  and she's going to do some
• 3:41
  collaborations with us
• 3:42
  throughout the day at the games.
• 3:44
  But Allison Scuds will be
• 3:45
  part of our team in Albany.
• 3:50
  Her fiance, Raf Duran,
• 3:52
  is competing on a team.
• 3:55
  So she's going to jump in
• 3:57
  for Carolyn so Carolyn can
• 3:58
  focus on competing as
• 4:00
  opposed to doing the show.
• 4:02
  And we're super excited about that.
• 4:04
  She has tested most of these workouts.
• 4:07
  So she has some insight as
• 4:09
  we go through them to be
• 4:11
  able to talk about them
• 4:12
  because she has done them.
• 4:14
  And we're really,
• 4:16
  really excited to have her
• 4:17
  knowledge and expertise
• 4:20
  with us for the weekend.
• 4:22
  So I wanted to announce that
• 4:27
  little late addition.
• 4:32
  Yeah, it is.
• 4:33
  I've been friends with
• 4:34
  Allison for a long time.
• 4:35
  People probably don't even know this,
• 4:36
  but she grew up here in Columbus.
• 4:40
  She was...
• 4:43
  really good all-star
• 4:44
  cheerleading athlete here
• 4:46
  in columbus uh before she
• 4:47
  went to the university of
• 4:48
  miami um where she got
• 4:51
  where then if you don't
• 4:52
  know she hooked up with
• 4:53
  noah and uh keto trinidad
• 4:56
  and all those folks down
• 4:58
  there but yeah she's from
• 4:59
  here in columbus and I've
• 5:01
  known alice in a long time
• 5:02
  so super excited to have
• 5:04
  her uh on for the week and
• 5:06
  that's going to be great
• 5:09
  Dave's Week in Review just happened.
• 5:11
  I know some of you in the
• 5:12
  chat have already said you've seen it.
• 5:17
  He made some announcements.
• 5:18
  One of those...
• 5:21
  One of those is that someone
• 5:24
  wrote in and asked if Lauren, in fact,
• 5:28
  had enhanced media credentials.
• 5:30
  He confirmed on the show
• 5:32
  that she does not.
• 5:34
  I want to make this clear.
• 5:36
  I'm just happy I have them.
• 5:38
  This wasn't ever about hers
• 5:41
  being ripped away and that
• 5:43
  it was more about that I
• 5:45
  just wanted the CrossFit
• 5:46
  space to notice the people
• 5:50
  that were working hard.
• 5:53
  And some people get this
• 5:55
  type of access and kind of abuse it.
• 5:58
  And I just wanted that to
• 5:59
  start being noticed.
• 6:01
  So my life is not affected
• 6:06
  whether she had it or not,
• 6:09
  but it is affected if I have it or not.
• 6:12
  And I'm really excited that
• 6:13
  I have it and I get to
• 6:15
  bring you enhanced coverage
• 6:17
  over the next week.
• 6:20
  So that's what I'm excited
• 6:21
  about focusing on me and not anybody else,
• 6:26
  but I'm going there.
• 6:27
  I'm going to have fun.
• 6:28
  I'm going to do some fun
• 6:29
  things and I hope you guys enjoy it.
• 6:33
  He also was there live on the floor.
• 6:36
  You could see them setting up the rigs.
• 6:39
  Uh,
• 6:39
  what's being set up currently is two
• 6:41
  rigs and a Zeus rig.
• 6:44
  Um,
• 6:47
  And so that was super cool to see that.
• 6:51
  He also said he's going to
• 6:54
  be doing nightly updates from the games.
• 6:57
  So he'll be going on giving
• 6:58
  nightly updates throughout
• 7:00
  the CrossFit Games,
• 7:01
  which I think is really
• 7:02
  cool for him to do.
• 7:04
  And then floor suites.
• 7:08
  He was actually standing in
• 7:10
  what they're building as floor suites.
• 7:12
  So right on the floor by the action,
• 7:16
  they are putting these,
• 7:18
  it looks like about twelve
• 7:19
  seat floor suites in there.
• 7:22
  And you are right there in.
• 7:26
  Oh, my God.
• 7:27
  Like right on top of the action.
• 7:29
  If you have one of those floor suites.
• 7:33
  man,
• 7:34
  you are going to have an awesome time.
• 7:37
  Awesome time.
• 7:41
  And so if you have those, I just,
• 7:44
  it's as good as the media pit,
• 7:46
  like maybe even better.
• 7:47
  Oh, we've got a new member,
• 7:52
  Plant Powered Fitness.
• 7:54
  Thank you so much for becoming a member.
• 7:56
  That really does help us out,
• 7:58
  helps us support the show,
• 7:59
  support paying for all the
• 8:00
  software we use to run this thing.
• 8:06
  We've got heard in the building.
• 8:10
  Uh, ed AI, honestly, Scott,
• 8:13
  I'm kind of over the drama.
• 8:14
  Just want to focus on the
• 8:15
  athletes that are going to
• 8:17
  throw down at the games.
• 8:21
  I mean, let's be honest.
• 8:22
  Drama brings eyes to the table.
• 8:25
  It brings butts to the seats.
• 8:27
  Uh, but at the end of the day this weekend,
• 8:30
  we're going to have a great
• 8:30
  competition and it's going
• 8:32
  to be fun to watch that.
• 8:52
  Dinner with the Clydesdale for me?
• 8:55
  Okay.
• 9:00
  Oh, yeah,
• 9:00
  because you're not in the United States.
• 9:02
  Now I remember.
• 9:03
  Yes.
• 9:04
  I'm very excited for your
• 9:06
  content this week.
• 9:07
  Yeah, I got a nine-hour drive ahead of me.
• 9:12
  So going to do a lot of thinking there.
• 9:13
  Think about what we're going to do.
• 9:15
  I have some vignettes
• 9:16
  planned that we're going to
• 9:18
  release again to members
• 9:20
  first for twenty four hours.
• 9:22
  And then we're going to move
• 9:23
  those over to the public
• 9:26
  view twenty four hours
• 9:28
  after their release.
• 9:31
  So that's going to happen this week.
• 9:34
  I did also want to talk
• 9:35
  about the Friday IG live that I put out,
• 9:39
  got a lot of traction,
• 9:40
  got a lot of comments,
• 9:42
  probably the most I've ever
• 9:43
  had on a post I've ever made.
• 9:46
  And, and here's,
• 9:48
  and I want to be done with
• 9:49
  WFP for this week because
• 9:50
  this is games week.
• 9:52
  This is going to be my last
• 9:53
  statement on the WFP.
• 9:55
  I was being critical of
• 9:57
  their lack of performance
• 9:59
  in promoting their events and
• 10:03
  They have not done anything
• 10:05
  to promote their events.
• 10:06
  I showed the numbers that
• 10:08
  show how much content they
• 10:09
  put out compared to what
• 10:11
  CrossFit has put out.
• 10:13
  And then people are
• 10:16
  defending WFP in those comments by saying,
• 10:20
  yeah,
• 10:21
  but look at this shiny object over here,
• 10:24
  even though this shiny
• 10:25
  object has nothing to do
• 10:26
  with the content you've produced.
• 10:30
  In that statement,
• 10:31
  I was not being critical of
• 10:32
  any other aspect of WFP
• 10:35
  other than them promoting
• 10:36
  their events and a promise
• 10:38
  that they made that they
• 10:40
  were going to use new and
• 10:41
  creative ways to promote their athletes.
• 10:45
  And that has been a promise
• 10:47
  that has been broken.
• 10:49
  That is what I was pointing out.
• 10:51
  That is what I was illustrating.
• 10:54
  And if I'm an athlete and
• 10:56
  those promises like that
• 10:57
  are being broken now, what is to come?
• 11:02
  Some people have decided to
• 11:03
  put all their eggs in the WFP basket.
• 11:06
  And now you're finding out
• 11:07
  that these promises were
• 11:09
  made and they're broken.
• 11:10
  How confident are you moving
• 11:12
  forward that that is going
• 11:14
  to remain a trend?
• 11:18
  Or are they going to all of
• 11:19
  a sudden turn it around and
• 11:21
  do things the right way?
• 11:24
  I don't know.
• 11:26
  I haven't been critical of
• 11:27
  everything the WFP has done.
• 11:29
  There are things that
• 11:30
  they've done that I've liked.
• 11:32
  But I'm just pointing out in
• 11:33
  this particular case, they have really,
• 11:38
  really dropped the ball and
• 11:39
  they've broken promises to
• 11:41
  the athletes and the fans.
• 11:49
  Barbell spins his people, just one person.
• 11:52
  For the most part, it was one person.
• 11:53
  There were a couple of other
• 11:55
  people defending WFP as well,
• 11:57
  but not as vigorously for sure.
• 12:05
  And a comment back to that
• 12:07
  person was that if they
• 12:11
  spend as much time
• 12:12
  producing content as they
• 12:16
  did defending the WFP in
• 12:18
  the chats and on Instagram,
• 12:21
  we wouldn't even be having
• 12:22
  this discussion.
• 12:30
  And A.I.
• 12:31
  says, say his name, Spin.
• 12:33
  And Spin said his name.
• 12:40
  And I have to agree with that.
• 12:41
  If you spend as much time
• 12:42
  creating the comment or the
• 12:44
  content as you did to make comments,
• 12:47
  we wouldn't even have to
• 12:48
  have this conversation
• 12:50
  about the lack of content
• 12:51
  that's out there.
• 12:58
  and again trying to divert
• 13:00
  the conversation to other
• 13:01
  aspects that we're not even
• 13:02
  discussing the problem is I
• 13:09
  fell for the bait and I got
• 13:11
  into the argument I don't
• 13:13
  know it felt good on friday
• 13:29
  We'll see.
• 13:45
  Mallorca.
• 13:46
  Is it Mallorca?
• 13:47
  Looks nice though.
• 13:48
  It does.
• 13:54
  Yeah.
• 13:55
  It felt good on Friday when
• 13:56
  I was in there.
• 13:57
  Um,
• 13:58
  Felt okay.
• 13:59
  I still felt good on Saturday, too,
• 14:00
  I guess.
• 14:09
  Coach Sir Moose.
• 14:12
  Scott,
• 14:12
  do you think Saxon left out of
• 14:13
  frustration at the lack of
• 14:14
  foresight and a concrete
• 14:16
  plan on WFP's part, mainly Will's,
• 14:19
  or because he didn't
• 14:20
  anticipate the flack he got
• 14:22
  for jumping to WFP?
• 14:26
  I think he had to anticipate
• 14:28
  the flack for sure.
• 14:31
  But one of my goals this
• 14:33
  week is to talk to Saxon.
• 14:35
  Whether he will talk to me on air or not,
• 14:38
  I don't know.
• 14:39
  But we have been friends for a long time.
• 14:41
  And when I say friends,
• 14:43
  not just from an interview standpoint.
• 14:45
  He lives here in Ohio.
• 14:47
  He used to come to my gym all the time.
• 14:49
  We are truly friends.
• 14:51
  I'm hoping that he will at
• 14:52
  least talk to me.
• 14:55
  and I can at least ask him some questions.
• 14:57
  Whether I get it on film or not,
• 15:00
  I don't know.
• 15:07
  Because the fact that Dave
• 15:09
  confirmed that he talked to Saxon,
• 15:11
  Saxon is going to be at the games,
• 15:13
  and that quick turnaround
• 15:15
  makes me think that there
• 15:15
  was something that happened
• 15:17
  that forced him out and
• 15:19
  forced him back to the CrossFit space.
• 15:34
  eight hour drive.
• 15:34
  You have podcasts lined up
• 15:35
  to listen to the drive.
• 15:37
  I do.
• 15:38
  I do for sure.
• 15:47
  Um,
• 15:53
  maybe he jumped off the boat before it
• 15:54
  sinks.
• 15:56
  Maybe.
• 16:03
  Again, I don't know why he left,
• 16:06
  but he did have sight as to
• 16:07
  what was going on behind the scenes,
• 16:10
  and he chose to leave.
• 16:13
  At least we think he chose to leave.
• 16:23
  All right.
• 16:27
  So this is why I posed the one question.
• 16:29
  Should there be a tribute to
• 16:30
  Lazar at this year's CrossFit Games?
• 16:32
  We have Prescott here saying, yes,
• 16:34
  there should definitely be
• 16:34
  a Lazar tribute and a
• 16:36
  workout named after him.
• 16:38
  Then we have Jody saying, Prescott,
• 16:40
  I don't agree, seems cringe.
• 16:43
  And that's exactly why I
• 16:44
  brought up this question,
• 16:46
  because I want to say it ahead of time.
• 16:49
  There is no possible way
• 16:51
  CrossFit can do anything wrong
• 16:54
  or not anything this week
• 16:56
  and is going to be a
• 16:58
  win-win for everybody.
• 17:01
  CrossFit isn't a damned if you do,
• 17:02
  damned if you don't situation.
• 17:06
  If they do a tribute,
• 17:08
  the people that are mad at
• 17:09
  CrossFit that Lazar died
• 17:10
  last year at their event are going to say,
• 17:13
  keep his name out of your mouth.
• 17:15
  You shouldn't have done anything.
• 17:19
  We're moving on without you.
• 17:21
  you don't have the right to
• 17:22
  do anything to remember him.
• 17:26
  If they don't do anything,
• 17:29
  people are going to be like,
• 17:30
  we loved Lazar.
• 17:31
  He should be remembered.
• 17:32
  He was a great athlete.
• 17:34
  We wanted to see everything.
• 17:35
  We want to see him
• 17:37
  memorialized for eternity
• 17:39
  because of the great athlete he was.
• 17:42
  There is no way CrossFit
• 17:44
  wins in this situation.
• 17:46
  So going into the week,
• 17:47
  I cannot imagine the
• 17:49
  conversations people are
• 17:51
  having about this subject itself.
• 17:56
  I don't think they're going
• 17:58
  to win either way.
• 17:59
  Either way,
• 17:59
  there's going to be a large
• 18:01
  group of people pissed off
• 18:03
  about what they do.
• 18:13
  See, Larry, no,
• 18:14
  just leave it alone for now.
• 18:18
  One hundred percent.
• 18:24
  They're doomed if they do
• 18:26
  and or if they don't correct.
• 18:32
  Just going to be criticized
• 18:33
  no matter what they do.
• 18:36
  I agree with Jody and Scott.
• 18:44
  Yeah.
• 18:45
  Damned if you do something
• 18:46
  and damned if you don't.
• 18:54
  maybe a plaque or something.
• 18:57
  Yeah.
• 18:57
  I, I think if you do something,
• 18:59
  it's not never going to be good enough.
• 19:04
  And the people that are
• 19:04
  really mad don't want anything done.
• 19:09
  I just, I, I don't,
• 19:12
  I don't envy them at all in
• 19:13
  this situation.
• 19:19
  Maybe legally they're not
• 19:20
  allowed to mention him anymore.
• 19:24
  I can't imagine that's part
• 19:25
  of the settlement.
• 19:29
  No, it becomes unnecessary baggage.
• 19:36
  TTT just posted a Lazar
• 19:38
  workout and put it out there.
• 19:46
  If they do something,
• 19:47
  they have to do it every
• 19:47
  year like Torian does.
• 19:50
  And then I think that becomes weird too.
• 20:00
  Do it like other major
• 20:00
  sports with a badge sticker
• 20:02
  on the jersey or give
• 20:03
  athletes an option to.
• 20:13
  Could be the team requested
• 20:14
  HQ rescinds the rights of his portrayal.
• 20:19
  Could be.
• 20:22
  I just kind of wanted to
• 20:23
  talk about it in front of
• 20:25
  whatever happens this week.
• 20:26
  I don't know what their plans are.
• 20:29
  um but I think I just know
• 20:33
  that whatever the plan is
• 20:36
  is it's not going to go
• 20:37
  over well half the
• 20:40
  community is going to hate
• 20:41
  it half the community is
• 20:42
  going to love it and again
• 20:44
  it's the whole damned if
• 20:45
  you do don't damned if you
• 20:46
  don't and uh um so there
• 21:01
  Uh, Kenneth says,
• 21:02
  get anything out of Dave's
• 21:03
  interview with seven on Saturday.
• 21:04
  You didn't mention it on
• 21:05
  last night's show.
• 21:07
  Last night's show was packed.
• 21:08
  We were over with what we had.
• 21:11
  Um, I enjoyed Dave's interview.
• 21:14
  I thought it was really good.
• 21:17
  I got a lot out of it with
• 21:18
  the Saxon piece for sure.
• 21:21
  Um,
• 21:22
  But again,
• 21:24
  the coverage of everything is
• 21:25
  ramping up at this point,
• 21:27
  and it's really getting
• 21:28
  hard to keep up with
• 21:29
  everything and to keep the
• 21:31
  agendas on these shows in a
• 21:33
  way that I can maintain it.
• 21:46
  Amanda says,
• 21:47
  make his workout an official Hero WOD,
• 21:49
  then it's there forever.
• 21:53
  See,
• 21:53
  that alone would probably create
• 21:55
  controversy because hero
• 21:58
  workouts are reserved
• 21:59
  generally for first
• 22:00
  responders and military heroes.
• 22:06
  So people are going to be,
• 22:08
  it shouldn't be named a hero workout,
• 22:10
  maybe just a named workout.
• 22:18
  Ryan says, with your newfound popularity,
• 22:21
  do you see any expansion to your shows?
• 22:26
  not not at the current time
• 22:27
  right now we have a busy
• 22:29
  month planned uh we got the
• 22:32
  games this week um I'm
• 22:34
  doing a behind the scenes
• 22:35
  of the masters crossfit
• 22:36
  games and and then after
• 22:40
  and then after that every
• 22:41
  year we look at what's what
• 22:43
  we have going on I have a
• 22:46
  much smaller team now than
• 22:48
  I used to have um
• 22:51
  but I always look at the end
• 22:52
  of the year and look at like,
• 22:53
  what can we do differently?
• 22:55
  What can we do to differentiate ourselves?
• 22:59
  And right now I just want to keep,
• 23:02
  I want to get better at what we're doing.
• 23:04
  I just started these solo
• 23:05
  shows a few months ago and
• 23:08
  I really did it to get
• 23:09
  better at just talking to a
• 23:10
  camera instead of talking
• 23:12
  to other people.
• 23:14
  Um,
• 23:16
  And so I like that.
• 23:18
  I like that.
• 23:19
  I'm just getting better right now.
• 23:21
  And then the Sunday night
• 23:22
  show has been gathering
• 23:24
  steam for some time.
• 23:26
  And I think I have the right
• 23:28
  group together, um,
• 23:30
  that have expertise in
• 23:31
  different areas and that
• 23:33
  are willing to share their,
• 23:35
  their ideas and, um, their thoughts.
• 23:38
  Carolyn and Jamie are awesome.
• 23:41
  And I, uh,
• 23:44
  I love that team so right
• 23:46
  now I think just hone in
• 23:48
  our skills with what we
• 23:49
  have and then we'll we'll
• 23:50
  look in in the off season
• 23:53
  um at which direction we're
• 23:54
  going do you plan on to
• 24:00
  track down dawn fall and
• 24:01
  ask him anything um if if I
• 24:07
  run into dawn fall I'll ask
• 24:08
  him some questions for sure
• 24:16
  Thank you, Chris.
• 24:19
  All right.
• 24:23
  So last night we did the top tens.
• 24:26
  I want to just go over mine real quick.
• 24:38
  I'm trying to pull it up now.
• 24:42
  Here's my women's pick.
• 24:54
  So I'll blow this up.
• 24:56
  Had a lot, a lot of discussion last night.
• 24:59
  I have Tia winning, of course.
• 25:02
  And then Ariel Lohan, Abigail Domet,
• 25:05
  Lucy Campbell, Olivia Kerstetter,
• 25:07
  Alexis Raptus, Haley Adams, Fisa Goffey,
• 25:09
  Danielle Brandon, Annika Greer.
• 25:18
  Um,
• 25:22
  Oh, man.
• 25:23
  Thank you so much, Terry.
• 25:25
  Gas and safe travels.
• 25:27
  Twenty dollar super chat.
• 25:28
  Thank you.
• 25:29
  You're the best.
• 25:33
  Um.
• 25:40
  Eight, eleven, eight out of eleven.
• 25:43
  I don't know what that means.
• 25:45
  Oh, no.
• 25:51
  Um.
• 25:56
  Scott,
• 25:57
  what's your handle on the Heat One app?
• 25:58
  I'll be watching.
• 26:00
  It's really hard to get, Tyler.
• 26:02
  It is Clydesdale One.
• 26:13
  Anika, top ten, nice.
• 26:15
  I truly hope so.
• 26:16
  We talked about this last night.
• 26:18
  Anika has home runs, and at the games,
• 26:21
  winning events is huge.
• 26:24
  Winning events is huge.
• 26:25
  Yeah,
• 26:26
  she's going to have some holes where
• 26:27
  she doesn't finish up there.
• 26:29
  But when you're clipping off ninety seven,
• 26:30
  one hundred points at a clip,
• 26:33
  it moves you up the leaderboard.
• 26:35
  Think Guy a couple of years
• 26:38
  ago when he won three events.
• 26:40
  And and that propelled him
• 26:42
  into the top ten,
• 26:44
  even though he had some big
• 26:46
  and major holes.
• 26:48
  I look at her in the same vein.
• 26:50
  She has a.
• 26:55
  She has some amazing skills
• 26:58
  that she's going to be at
• 26:59
  the top of and some others
• 27:01
  that she'll fall down.
• 27:09
  Like, subscribe, and join.
• 27:15
  I'm not getting these fractions.
• 27:21
  August eleventh,
• 27:22
  something is going to happen.
• 27:23
  Oh, maybe.
• 27:30
  Fee just ahead of DBE.
• 27:34
  Yeah,
• 27:34
  DBE I have in the top ten because
• 27:35
  Talon alone,
• 27:37
  she'll finish in the top ten.
• 27:39
  I don't think this is going
• 27:39
  to be a great year for her.
• 27:42
  Are these your official Heat One picks?
• 27:44
  They are.
• 27:45
  I actually just copied and pasted them.
• 27:49
  Well, not pasted them,
• 27:50
  but I just wrote them down
• 27:52
  directly from my Heat One app.
• 27:54
  So these are my Heat One app picks.
• 27:59
  Daniel Brandon,
• 28:00
  Talon Lone will get her there.
• 28:01
  Fisa Goff, he's having a great season.
• 28:03
  And I wanted to push Fi up a
• 28:05
  little bit more.
• 28:08
  And I wasn't sure about Haley Adams,
• 28:10
  but the way she talks is
• 28:11
  she isn't even ready.
• 28:15
  In everything she did,
• 28:16
  Mayhem and the online semi,
• 28:18
  she wasn't even prepped.
• 28:20
  And she did okay.
• 28:22
  If she is now going to be
• 28:23
  prepped for the games,
• 28:25
  I see this being a pretty
• 28:28
  good top ten finish for her.
• 28:34
  On the men's side...
• 28:36
  We have, let me get out of this.
• 28:43
  Men's side,
• 28:43
  what I find very interesting is
• 28:46
  that last night, Jamie,
• 28:48
  Carolyn and I all had the
• 28:49
  exact same ten men in the top ten,
• 28:52
  just in different orders.
• 28:54
  And then I watched Amanda Hari today.
• 28:57
  She had the exact same top ten men,
• 29:00
  just in a different order.
• 29:04
  So the more I'm watching,
• 29:06
  the more it seems like
• 29:08
  there's pretty much a consensus around.
• 29:10
  And so my top ten picks for
• 29:12
  the men are Jeff Adler, Dallin Pepper,
• 29:14
  James Sprague, Jason Hopper,
• 29:16
  Austin Hadfield, Jay Crouch,
• 29:18
  Ricky Garrard, Justin Medeiros,
• 29:21
  Roman Krennikoff, Colton Mertens.
• 29:26
  And...
• 29:29
  I am not confident in the
• 29:30
  order of any of these.
• 29:32
  I think anybody in the top
• 29:33
  nine could win the CrossFit Games.
• 29:39
  And so that makes it so I'm
• 29:41
  really not confident in the
• 29:45
  order in which my top ten looks.
• 29:52
  A boss man.
• 29:53
  Colton in tenths.
• 29:54
  Tenth.
• 29:55
  That's blasphemous.
• 29:56
  I know.
• 30:00
  Again,
• 30:00
  I've talked about this a couple times.
• 30:02
  I love Colton to death.
• 30:04
  I've known him for a long time.
• 30:06
  I think he's going to be great.
• 30:07
  He's going to win some events for sure.
• 30:10
  But with his stature,
• 30:15
  he has to exert so much to compete.
• 30:19
  And he does.
• 30:20
  But that takes its toll over
• 30:22
  a nine or ten event weekend.
• 30:25
  And we cannot forget that.
• 30:27
  That that is going to take its toll.
• 30:30
  I think he is getting better.
• 30:32
  His best finish ever was nineteenth.
• 30:35
  Getting into the top ten
• 30:37
  would be a huge
• 30:37
  accomplishment for Colton
• 30:39
  and huge improvement.
• 30:43
  And I think he could finish
• 30:45
  anywhere from ten to three or two.
• 30:49
  I just don't think it's enough to win.
• 30:58
  But I think there's some
• 30:59
  real wild cards in here.
• 31:00
  Jay Crouch, we haven't seen enough on U.S.
• 31:04
  soil to see how he competes.
• 31:11
  Any word on Colton's back?
• 31:12
  Is he better now?
• 31:14
  I haven't heard anything specifically.
• 31:18
  And I don't think he'd tell
• 31:18
  you at this point anyway.
• 31:24
  Ricky will always do better
• 31:25
  than Jay at the games
• 31:26
  because of his home run abilities.
• 31:28
  He'll always be up there
• 31:29
  despite his holes.
• 31:31
  Colton could be the same.
• 31:33
  My thing with Ricky is he
• 31:35
  seems to be jinxed at this moment.
• 31:39
  Nickel and dime injuries
• 31:41
  have taken him out the last couple years.
• 31:44
  And...
• 31:46
  I just want to see him get
• 31:47
  through a whole game's healthy.
• 31:49
  If he does, Ricky's on the podium.
• 31:52
  He just has not been able to
• 31:53
  get through a whole weekend healthy.
• 32:01
  CK Kevin says, Colton has new gold shoes.
• 32:04
  His back will be fine.
• 32:06
  Yeah, those shoes will fix him right up,
• 32:08
  I'm sure.
• 32:10
  Those are fancy.
• 32:11
  All I can think of when I
• 32:12
  see those gold shoes is
• 32:14
  Michael Johnson running at the Olympics,
• 32:17
  and he knew he was going to
• 32:18
  break the world record,
• 32:19
  so he put on gold shoes to do it.
• 32:28
  I haven't seen Amy Kringle
• 32:29
  in anyone's top ten.
• 32:31
  I'm surprised.
• 32:31
  Where do you think she'll place?
• 32:36
  I think she's probably an
• 32:38
  eight to twelve range,
• 32:41
  maybe eight to thirteen.
• 32:47
  I think she has stuff she's good at,
• 32:51
  but the stuff she's really good at,
• 32:52
  other people are really good at.
• 32:56
  And so I don't see her home
• 32:57
  run ability getting her the top points.
• 33:02
  And that's where her and
• 33:03
  Anika are a little bit different.
• 33:10
  If the volume at proven
• 33:11
  hasn't broken Ricky,
• 33:13
  I think he'll be absolutely
• 33:14
  fine at the games.
• 33:18
  I hope so.
• 33:24
  If they made a fourteen,
• 33:25
  I'd get them gold kicks.
• 33:30
  Larry, you've been cracking me up, man.
• 33:37
  See you walking around the
• 33:38
  arena in your gold shoes.
• 33:43
  That'd be funny.
• 33:49
  Does Colton actually have gold shoes?
• 33:51
  He does.
• 33:52
  He just signed with a new shoe company,
• 33:56
  and he has gold and black
• 33:59
  versions of those shoes.
• 34:01
  He showed them off on Instagram.
• 34:04
  Let me see if I can find that real quick.
• 34:17
  Here we go.
• 34:32
  So those are the black lifters.
• 34:36
  There they are.
• 34:42
  There they are.
• 34:43
  Gold shoes.
• 34:57
  All right.
• 35:00
  Yeah, Kenneth,
• 35:00
  you need to get some new shoes.
• 35:03
  Aha has Amy in fourth.
• 35:07
  Okay.
• 35:16
  Larry Young,
• 35:16
  have I been too positive since
• 35:17
  they announced a true strength test?
• 35:19
  You have been so positive.
• 35:21
  I'm just not used to you not
• 35:23
  coming in here and not complaining about
• 35:27
  Everything is too light.
• 35:30
  You got your one rep max
• 35:31
  back squat and now you're
• 35:33
  just a happy man.
• 35:34
  Hard to contain.
• 35:45
  So what I'm going to leave
• 35:51
  with is last night we talked about
• 35:56
  The fact that Tyson Bajent may, in fact,
• 35:59
  be at the CrossFit Games.
• 36:03
  And I asked a fact or
• 36:04
  fiction whether or not I
• 36:09
  would act like a
• 36:09
  twelve-year-old if I ran
• 36:13
  into Tyson Bajent at the CrossFit Games.
• 36:17
  So, I...
• 36:26
  I am trying to find the spot, but my,
• 36:41
  here we go.
• 36:42
  I'm going to share this real quick.
• 36:44
  And then I want to clarify.
• 36:49
  So last night show, I asked this question.
• 36:55
  if I get to meet Tyson Bajent.
• 36:57
  If people don't realize,
• 36:59
  I listen to two types of podcasts,
• 37:02
  CrossFit, Chicago Bears, all day long.
• 37:06
  That's all I listen to.
• 37:08
  What if you interview him?
• 37:11
  Oh, Lord.
• 37:13
  I don't know.
• 37:16
  I don't know.
• 37:20
  Someone check on Scott.
• 37:21
  Yeah.
• 37:22
  See, I need to make it there Saturday,
• 37:25
  if that's what day is coming,
• 37:26
  just to see this.
• 37:26
  All right.
• 37:29
  So I'm a massive Chicago Bears fan.
• 37:33
  Yes,
• 37:34
  I will probably lose my mind if I get
• 37:36
  a chance to talk to Tyson Bajent.
• 37:40
  But I'll try to keep it
• 37:42
  composed on the outside.
• 37:45
  Inside, I'll be a mess.
• 37:47
  But on the outside,
• 37:48
  I'm going to try to keep it
• 37:50
  nice and mellow.
• 37:51
  I don't want to blow my cool.
• 37:53
  Don't want to blow my opportunity.
• 37:56
  I don't want to scream and flip out.
• 38:01
  But I love the Chicago Bears.
• 38:05
  And that means I love
• 38:07
  everybody that plays for them.
• 38:13
  Scott, fanboy, teeny bopper.
• 38:14
  Yep, that's me.
• 38:16
  But I got to keep that on the inside,
• 38:18
  keeping that on the inside.
• 38:21
  I got to keep it composed on
• 38:22
  the outside so I can just shake his hand.
• 38:26
  I have so many questions,
• 38:30
  so many questions, but,
• 38:32
  and I love when he goes on
• 38:33
  Savon because I can
• 38:34
  actually hear about insight
• 38:38
  about my team that's unfiltered.
• 38:46
  and that makes me very very
• 38:48
  happy so I am and I can't
• 38:52
  believe that my partner
• 38:54
  jamie latimer beat baygent
• 38:56
  and won the beat baygent
• 38:58
  women's title if you didn't
• 39:00
  know that so um jose says
• 39:11
  we got to make this happen
• 39:12
  yeah I I so so want to meet him
• 39:17
  Everyone in the chat like
• 39:18
  this live stream so we can
• 39:19
  keep Scott in our algorithm.
• 39:23
  Bear down.
• 39:28
  Seven or Hiller have to arrange this.
• 39:32
  Ask him about be Beijing to
• 39:33
  him when it comes out.
• 39:37
  There is rumor they're going
• 39:38
  to do it at the games.
• 39:40
  It may not be in the facility,
• 39:41
  but it may be happening at the games.
• 39:54
  Holly says we have to have a
• 39:55
  fainting couch nearby.
• 40:00
  The Bajans are good people.
• 40:01
  Yeah,
• 40:01
  his dad's going to be there arm
• 40:02
  wrestling too, which is pretty cool.
• 40:10
  Ben Johnson's going to do great things.
• 40:11
  I hope so.
• 40:18
  Bruce Wayne did beat Bajan
• 40:20
  and got seventy three reps.
• 40:22
  Nice job.
• 40:24
  Jamie ended up with ninety
• 40:25
  one as the top finishing female.
• 40:33
  Who's arm wrestling, Travis?
• 40:35
  I think it's open to the public, right?
• 40:37
  You can go take them on and
• 40:40
  they're giving away prizes.
• 40:47
  Don't forget to hand Scott a
• 40:48
  protein bar and stand there
• 40:49
  and watch him eat it.
• 40:50
  Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 40:55
  Yeah.
• 40:58
  Hopefully being embedded with Hattie, uh,
• 41:01
  I'm going to film her when
• 41:02
  she's eating and doing her meals, uh,
• 41:05
  that will trigger me to
• 41:07
  actually eat this time.
• 41:13
  Uh, yeah.
• 41:14
  Jamie's a bad ads or,
• 41:16
  or bad-ass probably bad-ass.
• 41:18
  I'll translate for Bruce.
• 41:20
  Uh, Jamie is a bad-ass.
• 41:24
  She's trying to get there
• 41:25
  for this weekend.
• 41:26
  Man, I hope she gets there.
• 41:27
  It's so much fun when she's around.
• 41:30
  Truly,
• 41:30
  truly appreciate her and all she's
• 41:33
  done for this channel over
• 41:35
  the last couple years.
• 41:38
  She's traveled with me.
• 41:39
  She's been my partner in crime.
• 41:41
  She has done as much as
• 41:44
  anybody to help us do what we do here.
• 41:49
  So with that, guys,
• 41:51
  I got to get back to work.
• 41:53
  It's Monday.
• 41:54
  I'm heading out for Albany, Albany.
• 41:56
  I don't know why they changed that on me.
• 41:59
  I have family that live in
• 42:01
  upstate New York and it's
• 42:02
  always been Albany.
• 42:03
  Why the hell is it now Albany?
• 42:05
  It makes no sense to me.
• 42:13
  I heard some accountant and
• 42:14
  a gridly guy are arm
• 42:15
  wrestling at the games.
• 42:18
  Okay.
• 42:22
  It's still Albany.
• 42:24
  Thank you, Kevin.
• 42:28
  So I'm heading to Albany out
• 42:30
  tomorrow night.
• 42:31
  I'm going to go about halfway,
• 42:33
  and then I'm going to
• 42:33
  finish my trip on Wednesday morning,
• 42:36
  pick up my credentials,
• 42:37
  hook up with Hattie,
• 42:39
  and then start filming right away.
• 42:43
  I got to hook up with Allison.
• 42:45
  She's going to do some stuff
• 42:46
  during the days while I'm
• 42:48
  kind of embedded.
• 42:50
  And to get us some content
• 42:52
  to put out for everybody.
• 42:54
  I also have a couple
• 42:56
  vignettes planned in my head.
• 42:58
  And some I've actually
• 42:59
  talked to the people already.
• 43:02
  So we've got that.
• 43:03

• 43:04
  we're going to try to release the
• 43:05
  vignettes on the fly
• 43:06
  throughout the weekend.

  The Hattie Embedded will
• 43:09
  take a little bit of time
• 43:10
