  Lunch with the Clydesdale.

  Cowboy bring the heat.
• 0:31
  CrossFit movies, music on repeat.
• 0:34
  Half hour hustle, yeah,
• 0:35
  we building that brand.
• 0:37
  Grab a plate, tune in now,
• 0:39
  you part of the fam.
• 0:52
  And I'm starting off great with a muted
• 0:54
  mic.
• 0:55
  What's going on, everyone?
• 0:57
  It's not really lunch with the Clydesdales
• 1:00
  out here.
• 1:01
  It is like breakfast time.
• 1:04
  But whatever meal you're eating,
• 1:05
  we are glad to be with you.
• 1:08
  I know, Trent, a Saturday Clydesdale.
• 1:10
  You only get that during the special
• 1:13
  events like the CrossFit Games.
• 1:18
  Yeah, Kenneth,
• 1:19
  you've been around long enough to know
• 1:20
  that the muted mic used to be a
• 1:22
  way bigger problem.
• 1:24
  But I think we've got that rectified for
• 1:27
  the most part.
• 1:30
  Clive, hell yeah,
• 1:31
  breakfast with the Clydesdale.
• 1:35
  Yeah.
• 1:35
  I don't know.
• 1:40
  Kenneth is coming in hot this morning
• 1:42
  with, I'm going to throw this out.
• 1:44
  If an athlete can be helped to the
• 1:46
  finish line by medical,
• 1:48
  and it still counts.
• 1:50
  Should an athlete get their time back from
• 1:52
  not hitting the buzzer?
• 1:56
  Everybody knows I have not been
• 1:58
  inconsistent on my finish line talk.
• 2:06
  I love a good finish line where I
• 2:09
  know when the event is ending.
• 2:11
  I think the buzzer brings that to the
• 2:14
  table.
• 2:16
  It's just like the standards of the
• 2:18
  workout.
• 2:19
  To finish the workout,
• 2:20
  you have to hit the buzzer.
• 2:21
  You're told that beforehand.
• 2:23
  Got to hit the buzzer.
• 2:26
  Got to hit the buzzer.
• 2:31
  With that,
• 2:35
  about being assisted to the finish line,
• 2:37
  I think at the very least that should
• 2:39
  have been a last place finish.
• 2:41
  It was not.
• 2:46
  Beyond that, I'm not sure.
• 2:48
  I think if someone takes a header down
• 2:51
  the hill,
• 2:53
  they should be allowed to continue.
• 2:55
  But if they need assistance to the finish
• 2:57
  line, it should be a dead last.
• 3:03
  SEMA, for once, I don't agree.
• 3:08
  I like the buzzers.
• 3:09
  I can physically see it.
• 3:11
  I don't have to look to see what
• 3:13
  leg the chip timer was on.
• 3:18
  I like the fact they have to physically
• 3:21
  lunge for reach for smack down a buzzer.
• 3:26
  I think it gives us more epic finishes.
• 3:28
  I think we wouldn't get Justin Medeiros
• 3:31
  diving over the finish line if it was
• 3:34
  a chip timer.
• 3:35
  I just, I think it's cool.
• 3:45
  Did they hire a new crew?
• 3:46
  How can the coverage be so much better
• 3:48
  from one day to the next?
• 3:49
  Not complaining.
• 3:52
  I think it is.
• 3:55
  I don't know if it's a new crew.
• 3:56
  It's a new venue.
• 3:58
  Like you have a state-of-the-art venue for
• 4:00
  the first time ever at the CrossFit Games.
• 4:03
  Inside is plush.
• 4:04
  It is nice.
• 4:06
  The seats are comfortable.
• 4:08
  It is the most comfortable CrossFit Games
• 4:11
  I've ever attended other than
• 4:14
  It is cold as ice in that place.
• 4:19
  Freezing in that place.
• 4:24
  I am running up the stairs to the
• 4:25
  media room between events just to warm up.
• 4:28
  And I am never cold.
• 4:31
  Never, ever cold.
• 4:34
  The people I'm hanging out with are diving
• 4:37
  for sweatshirts.
• 4:38
  I didn't pack any because I'm a jackass.
• 4:43
  Um, but it is,
• 4:45
  it is freezing in the stadium.
• 4:47
  Uh, but it is, the vibes are awesome.
• 4:50
  The stadium started to fill up yesterday a
• 4:52
  little bit.
• 4:53
  Hopefully today we get to see a lot
• 4:54
  more of that.
• 4:56
  Um, because yeah, it, the,
• 5:02
  the vibes are cool.
• 5:03
  People are getting up on their feet for
• 5:05
  finishes.
• 5:05
  They're, they're yelling,
• 5:07
  they're screaming.
• 5:08
  It's,
• 5:08
  it is a cool environment to be in.
• 5:20
  Daniel, I did not say buzzers are dumb.
• 5:24
  But it is brief to the athlete.
• 5:28
  The buzzer also requires an additional
• 5:30
  point of accuracy to.
• 5:33
  At extreme exhaustion,
• 5:34
  I don't know if we're testing accuracy
• 5:36
  Vicki, but I get your point.
• 5:42
  Also shoulder some shoulder injuries.
• 5:44
  You know what?
• 5:46
  If you die for the buzzer and you
• 5:48
  get a shoulder injury,
• 5:49
  that's part of the sport.
• 5:53
  When you go outside the realm of what
• 5:55
  you're supposed to or required to do by
• 5:59
  making a lunge or by making a dive,
• 6:03
  you're putting that at risk and you know
• 6:05
  it going ahead.
• 6:09
  I never thought we would be talking about
• 6:12
  buzzers this much this morning.
• 6:16
  The Shark Tank.
• 6:19
  Three hundred and sixty five days till
• 6:21
  hockey tryouts.
• 6:22
  There you go.
• 6:24
  It's a beautiful, beautiful place.
• 6:26
  Just, you know, inside.
• 6:28
  And it's not like brand new.
• 6:30
  It's been around a little while.
• 6:37
  Stadium shots make it look great in there.
• 6:39
  Looks full, looks intimate and looks epic.
• 6:42
  I'll tell you,
• 6:43
  when I went up to the venue yesterday.
• 6:45
  But there was a line down the street
• 6:47
  to get into the venue.
• 6:50
  We didn't see that in Albany.
• 7:07
  I loved hearing the crowd count the hang
• 7:10
  squat cleans.
• 7:12
  I did too.
• 7:15
  I'm going to be a little bit critical
• 7:17
  of it, Amanda.
• 7:18
  It was cool the first time when it
• 7:20
  was for the win.
• 7:22
  Then the floor MC tried to get it
• 7:24
  to happen over and over again.
• 7:28
  I think it's effective for the win,
• 7:30
  and it's effective if you're the last
• 7:32
  person out there and people are cheering
• 7:34
  you in.
• 7:36
  But we don't need to do it ten
• 7:37
  times during an event.
• 7:52
  If all but one or two athletes do
• 7:54
  it, it's not a big deal.
• 7:55
  Swimming has watches just in case the
• 7:57
  touch doesn't work.
• 8:01
  Cross that great point,
• 8:03
  but those touch pads don't work sometimes
• 8:06
  due to technical glitches.
• 8:08
  James not touching the buzzer was not a
• 8:10
  technical glitch.
• 8:11
  He just didn't do it.
• 8:20
  I think Trent makes a great point.
• 8:22
  I feel like the injury is more likely
• 8:25
  with chip timers and the one leg extension
• 8:27
  lunge.
• 8:32
  Sport requires risk, amen.
• 8:37
  John George, I'm late.
• 8:40
  Sure he is.
• 8:42
  I'm late.
• 8:42
  How's the crowd?
• 8:44
  Crowds really good, really, really good.
• 8:53
  Like I said, to get in yesterday,
• 8:55
  it was way down the street, the line.
• 9:03
  And it seemed to be filling up throughout
• 9:05
  the day.
• 9:06
  I will say this vendor village is across
• 9:08
  the street in a park.
• 9:10
  And so people are coming and going a
• 9:14
  lot throughout the day.
• 9:16
  So I don't know if we've ever had
• 9:18
  the full crowd in there all at one
• 9:20
  time.
• 9:20
  The one thing I did like about Albany
• 9:25
  is the street in front of the venue
• 9:27
  was closed down and they turned that into
• 9:29
  a partial vendor village.
• 9:33
  Barack Obama is shut down and it's really
• 9:38
  just like a running course,
• 9:40
  but it's only taking up half the street.
• 9:43
  now i don't know if they have other
• 9:44
  events or if the big bob took up
• 9:46
  more or what um because i wasn't over
• 9:49
  there for big bob um but i think
• 9:52
  it would have been cool to have some
• 9:54
  of the vendor village down barack obama so
• 10:00
  um vicky's bringing something up i wanted
• 10:06
  to address and so i'm trying to work
• 10:09
  my other screen
• 10:20
  So I don't know if you guys saw
• 10:21
  this, but Carolyn was bored yesterday.
• 10:27
  And so I'm going to share my screen.
• 10:31
  She was in vendor village.
• 10:35
  And.
• 10:39
  I don't know if you guys can see
• 10:40
  this.
• 10:41
  She decided to take on the deadlift
• 10:44
  challenge.
• 10:47
  And if you guys know Carolyn, you know,
• 10:50
  she wins the games.
• 10:51
  What the heck?
• 10:52
  Still has some gas in the tank.
• 10:55
  Let's go see how many deadlifts we can
• 10:57
  do unbroken.
• 10:59
  If you want to know the answer to
• 11:00
  that, it's eighty three reps unbroken.
• 11:05
  At a pretty good clip, I might add.
• 11:10
  It was freaking insane.
• 11:13
  Yeah,
• 11:14
  I think it would have been cooler had
• 11:16
  she done it with her gold medal around
• 11:17
  her neck while she was doing it,
• 11:20
  but maybe that she would only got
• 11:21
  eighty-one at that point.
• 11:29
  So yeah, so one win isn't enough.
• 11:32
  She's got to go win the deadlift
• 11:34
  challenge.
• 11:42
  There it is.
• 11:47
  John George,
• 11:48
  I've been critical up until yesterday,
• 11:50
  but the feed and the coverage has been
• 11:51
  great.
• 11:51
  Love the shot from the far side of
• 11:53
  the floor when you can see all the
• 11:55
  athletes.
• 11:56
  I didn't see much of the coverage,
• 11:57
  so I'm not going to be able to
• 11:59
  –
• 12:03
  I'm not going to be able to comment
• 12:05
  on that that much because I was actually
• 12:06
  in the venue.
• 12:07
  I did not look at the stream very
• 12:09
  much throughout the day yesterday,
• 12:11
  but I've heard nothing but good things.
• 12:13
  They do have TVs in the media room.
• 12:16
  So like if you're running between events
• 12:17
  and you're trying to download stuff and
• 12:20
  then you can see when they're going and
• 12:22
  you can then run out to the floor
• 12:23
  really quick.
• 12:26
  So there.
• 12:35
  First event, what time?
• 12:37
  I think individuals is eleven a.m.
• 12:40
  I think the teams have already gone at
• 12:43
  seven a.m.
• 12:44
  this morning.
• 12:56
  I did see,
• 12:56
  I think CrossFat said the Jumbotron and
• 13:00
  stuff inside the venue were just replaced.
• 13:03
  The Jumbotron is gorgeous.
• 13:05
  Like if there's something you want to see
• 13:08
  up close and it's on the Jumbotron and
• 13:12
  it's got like three rings around it with
• 13:14
  video board.
• 13:16
  The TV screens are immaculate.
• 13:18
  And then there's screens up under it.
• 13:20
  If you're like too close,
• 13:22
  you can look up under and they have
• 13:24
  TVs inside of it.
• 13:26
  So you can see stuff from there.
• 13:36
  um uh wondering if the venue fluidity with
• 13:46
  barn and ranch caused the coverage to be
• 13:49
  so spotty it had to it had to
• 13:51
  play a part um i mean i've heard
• 13:54
  savan say that like the the internet out
• 13:57
  at the ranch is non-existent um
• 14:02
  I mean,
• 14:03
  so they had to be faced with a
• 14:04
  ton of challenges.
• 14:05
  Plus,
• 14:06
  trying to cover a run around in the
• 14:08
  woods has gotta be ridiculous.
• 14:20
  I like this analogy.
• 14:21
  James basically dropped the football
• 14:23
  before crossing the goal line.
• 14:26
  I think that's a great analogy.
• 14:41
  Yeah, Caro is pretty good at deadlifting.
• 14:44
  She should do it more.
• 14:46
  I think she would if she was given
• 14:48
  the opportunity.
• 14:51
  I am so far behind on comments.
• 14:53
  I apologize.
• 14:56
  So I have to skip ahead.
• 15:05
  Yeah,
• 15:06
  I think Seema's talking about event
• 15:08
  fourteen.
• 15:08
  There's some talk back and forth.
• 15:11
  And no, Kenneth,
• 15:14
  I did not get the Bears hat signed.
• 15:15
  I did not see Tyson other than on
• 15:18
  the floor.
• 15:19
  So I have not,
• 15:20
  I did not get it signed.
• 15:24
  Someday maybe I'll meet him.
• 15:29
  Individuals start at ten a.m.
• 15:31
  Pacific time, five hundred meter run.
• 15:33
  Okay.
• 15:43
  I train all of he's got to act
• 15:44
  like he's been there before big
• 15:45
  celebration for not winning the event he,
• 15:48
  but I think he did better than he
• 15:50
  even thought he was going to do and
• 15:52
  so like I get the excitement.
• 15:56
  But spike the ball after you cross the
• 15:58
  goal line.
• 16:00
  Like hit the buzzer and then do your
• 16:01
  flex it still works.
• 16:22
  Everybody thinks Ricky's going to win the
• 16:23
  sprint.
• 16:28
  I don't necessarily agree.
• 16:31
  Just because he can run a mile fast
• 16:32
  doesn't mean you can run five hundred
• 16:33
  meters fast.
• 16:35
  I think Guy is really,
• 16:36
  really fast in a sprint.
• 16:40
  And you should look for Guy to be
• 16:42
  up there with Ricky for five hundred.
• 16:44
  It's such a short time domain that that
• 16:47
  is right in Guy's wheelhouse.
• 16:53
  Because I don't I don't feel like Ricky
• 16:55
  looks like Ricky this weekend.
• 17:01
  Like that runs squat clean workout.
• 17:04
  He did not do well.
• 17:19
  How many times have we seen showboating
• 17:20
  backfire?
• 17:21
  There you go.
• 17:31
  Ricky has personal stuff going on.
• 17:33
  Yeah, I don't know anything about that.
• 17:37
  what's weird like and i don't know if
• 17:38
  you guys realize when you're at the venue
• 17:41
  you're disconnected from like all the news
• 17:43
  about the people the unless it becomes a
• 17:47
  rumor in the media room like you're you're
• 17:50
  kind of cut off from all the news
• 17:53
  like you don't hear chase and sean you
• 17:56
  don't hear any of that stuff so like
• 17:59
  i am i'm really cut off from everything
• 18:04
  like that i'm really just there
• 18:06
  for the sport when you're in the venue.
• 18:10
  A couple of things I did want to
• 18:12
  quickly talk about.
• 18:14
  Opening ceremonies,
• 18:15
  I thought it was great.
• 18:17
  I love that the adaptive, the teen,
• 18:21
  the masters got to march in with everybody
• 18:23
  else.
• 18:24
  We haven't seen that because of the
• 18:26
  disconnect.
• 18:27
  I thought it was really cool.
• 18:30
  I love the past champions.
• 18:32
  I wish more were there.
• 18:34
  I really wish,
• 18:35
  because nobody knew that Rich's plane was
• 18:38
  delayed.
• 18:40
  Why didn't they just put the card up
• 18:42
  that he was a past champion and say
• 18:50
  he couldn't make it because his plane got
• 18:51
  delayed?
• 18:53
  There were so many questions going around
• 18:54
  the arena like, why isn't Rich here?
• 18:56
  Why isn't Rich here?
• 18:57
  None of us knew until Dave went to
• 18:59
  the hopper and subbed in Jason Kalipa.
• 19:05
  So it was but I wish like the
• 19:11
  daughters were there.
• 19:12
  I wish Miko was there.
• 19:14
  But overseas travel just to walk out on
• 19:16
  the floor is probably not ideal.
• 19:25
  They're moving so fast.
• 19:27
  Hillary,
• 19:27
  that's why I'm making the recap videos.
• 19:29
  Dude,
• 19:29
  I am trying to keep up with your
• 19:30
  recap videos as well.
• 19:32
  But as you mentioned in your recap this
• 19:34
  morning, the events are moving so fast.
• 19:40
  Like one is done,
• 19:41
  the next one is going.
• 19:42
  Like you have ten minutes tops in between
• 19:45
  events to try to catch up with stuff.
• 19:50
  I've never been at a games that moved
• 19:52
  this quickly.
• 19:54
  It is just bam, bam, bam, bam, bam.
• 19:58
  If it wasn't so cold in the arena,
• 20:00
  I probably wouldn't even leave my seat.
• 20:11
  So yeah, the opening ceremonies were cool.
• 20:18
  I'm probably on the
• 20:22
  wrong side of this statement,
• 20:24
  but I thought the hopper was kind of
• 20:26
  like blah.
• 20:28
  Now, I guess they didn't even stream it.
• 20:31
  So the only way you could even see
• 20:32
  it is if you had the video from
• 20:36
  Instagram or something like that.
• 20:41
  But it just pick one red ball,
• 20:46
  pick one blue ball.
• 20:48
  You could kind of see in it like
• 20:50
  they didn't even turn their head or
• 20:52
  I mean, I don't know.
• 20:54
  It just felt like Annie could have grabbed
• 20:56
  whatever her favorite movement was.
• 20:59
  Her daughter could have grabbed their
• 21:00
  favorite movement.
• 21:01
  I don't know.
• 21:09
  It was anticlimactic.
• 21:10
  I was all excited for it,
• 21:12
  and it just did not go well.
• 21:17
  It did not play off as well as
• 21:18
  I think they wanted it to play off.
• 21:26
  John George, Hiller showed it.
• 21:28
  Workout was way better than hopper
• 21:30
  buildup.
• 21:31
  I agree.
• 21:31
  The workout turned out great.
• 21:33
  Exciting finishes.
• 21:35
  But the actual hopper draw, I think,
• 21:38
  kind of fell flat.
• 21:44
  Yeah,
• 21:48
  that's one thing I kind of disagreed with
• 21:50
  Hiller this morning and Danielle and the
• 21:52
  handstand and the
• 21:55
  The L-sit to press the handstand,
• 21:59
  they've been working on that for years.
• 22:01
  Has Danielle just ignored it?
• 22:04
  Like,
• 22:05
  she didn't even look like she had ever,
• 22:07
  ever tried it.
• 22:08
  Didn't look like she knew what she was
• 22:10
  doing.
• 22:11
  It was wild in the arena because as
• 22:14
  she was trying to go unbroken,
• 22:17
  the place got electric and people were up
• 22:19
  on their feet.
• 22:20
  And then it just went, ugh.
• 22:23
  when she couldn't press the handstand.
• 22:26
  It just like all the air went out
• 22:28
  of the building when she couldn't press
• 22:30
  the handstand.
• 22:32
  Now, Victor Hoffer, the place went wild,
• 22:36
  wild when he was going unbroken to that.
• 22:38
  And then he went right up and across.
• 22:40
  So,
• 22:41
  fifty eight seconds for that or something
• 22:44
  was bonkers, bonkers.
• 22:58
  I don't know what you're talking about
• 22:59
  with the blue lights for the hopper.
• 23:03
  Yeah,
• 23:03
  it did kind of look NBA-ish or hockey-ish.
• 23:06
  That's not what messed it up for me.
• 23:10
  It just seemed to fall flat.
• 23:15
  Have I met Ken?
• 23:16
  Well, I've met him in the past.
• 23:17
  I've not seen him at this event.
• 23:21
  We're in a weird spot.
• 23:24
  They have all the media down by the
• 23:26
  rig.
• 23:27
  so we can't really see the finish line
• 23:29
  unless you have the lanyard to get down
• 23:32
  to the finish line and again i have
• 23:36
  my photographer down there getting shots
• 23:39
  so i am not down there um the
• 23:42
  rest of us are moving tripods through
• 23:45
  seats and trying to get shots from the
• 23:48
  rig area um
• 23:53
  And then the media room is in like
• 23:55
  a weird second level that doesn't access
• 23:58
  to anything else.
• 24:01
  So I'll try to get up and walk
• 24:03
  around a little bit today.
• 24:08
  There were some empty seats down there.
• 24:11
  I tried that last night.
• 24:13
  I tried to just go to an empty
• 24:14
  seat closer.
• 24:16
  to the front or to the finish line
• 24:20
  and a lady came down said this is
• 24:21
  her seat and kicked me out so.
• 24:27
  So there it is.
• 24:35
  How many fistfights have happened with the
• 24:37
  media who were allowed to attend per
• 24:39
  gatekeepers?
• 24:41
  I haven't seen any drama dude.
• 24:45
  This isn't about media.
• 24:47
  The CrossFit Games are not about media.
• 24:50
  They're about the athletes and the
• 24:55
  CrossFit Games and the fun stuff we get
• 24:58
  to watch.
• 24:59
  That's what it's about.
• 25:02
  I will say this.
• 25:04
  I buried a beef yesterday that I've had
• 25:06
  for a couple years.
• 25:09
  I had a great talk with Lauren Khalil.
• 25:13
  As you know,
• 25:14
  our beef was highlighted a little bit ago.
• 25:18
  And because I've been saying I didn't want
• 25:21
  any beef, this was about the games.
• 25:24
  I took my own advice and I went
• 25:27
  up to Lauren and we had a nice
• 25:28
  long conversation.
• 25:29
  And it was really cool and productive.
• 25:33
  And yeah,
• 25:37
  like we hugged it out and everything.
• 25:39
  It wasn't like the rich froning Matt
• 25:41
  Frazier picture with the handshake.
• 25:44
  We actually hugged it out.
• 25:46
  Um,
• 25:46
  and I used to be friends with Lauren
• 25:49
  when we,
• 25:49
  we both hated morning chalk up at the
• 25:52
  same time.
• 25:53
  We even tested to do a show together
• 25:56
  for morning chalk up.
• 25:59
  Um, so I'm glad it's over.
• 26:02
  We don't have to be awkward around each
• 26:03
  other anymore.
• 26:04
  We talked it all out.
• 26:06
  Um,
• 26:08
  We apologized and there it is.
• 26:16
  Trish is allergic to beef, me too,
• 26:19
  me too.
• 26:26
  I love beefs,
• 26:27
  it's my preferred source of protein.
• 26:31
  Look at you Trish,
• 26:32
  you can't let it go, man.
• 26:34
  She's still talking shit.
• 26:36
  That's I she probably isn't.
• 26:39
  She's busy.
• 26:40
  She got she got the gig to do
• 26:42
  the press conferences and she's putting
• 26:44
  out great content and.
• 26:51
  You know what's funny?
• 26:52
  Kenneth is pocket jerky.
• 26:54
  I actually left home without it.
• 26:58
  I bought it, forgot to throw it,
• 27:01
  forgot to throw it in my suitcase so
• 27:03
  I don't have my pocket jerky.
• 27:12
  John George ain't lying.
• 27:13
  I have a major beef with my work.
• 27:15
  That is correct.
• 27:17
  My day job, I have beef with.
• 27:27
  I do think that's kind of cool how
• 27:28
  it's kind of working out.
• 27:30
  Boys Interrupted versus Aussies is pretty
• 27:32
  cool.
• 27:33
  It's kind of giving a cool storyline to
• 27:39
  the whole thing.
• 27:43
  I'd probably draw the line at pocket dogs,
• 27:45
  CrossFit.
• 27:52
  I do have a beef with reading, too.
• 28:02
  This got way off tangent today.
• 28:05
  The one thing I did want to comment
• 28:06
  on is that sack toss, bag toss...
• 28:11
  whatever,
• 28:12
  that has been the low light of the
• 28:14
  weekend for me.
• 28:15
  That I just did not get.
• 28:19
  Standing there watching,
• 28:20
  it brought no juice to the arena.
• 28:26
  And you're doing twenty events,
• 28:28
  they're not all going to be bangers.
• 28:32
  But doggone it, it just, that event was,
• 28:37
  it fell real flat in the arena.
• 28:40
  Real flat.
• 28:41
  And I can't even imagine trying to watch
• 28:43
  it on a stream.
• 28:46
  That was behind a paywall.
• 28:49
  So if you didn't pay for the Flow
• 28:53
  Elite subscription,
• 28:54
  you didn't miss anything.
• 28:56
  Let's just say that.
• 28:57
  Shelly Young,
• 28:58
  who is a lovely person I got to
• 28:59
  meet this week.
• 29:02
  I agree.
• 29:02
  I felt like it fell flat.
• 29:04
  It so fell flat.
• 29:07
  So fell flat.
• 29:16
  I think so, Tia Samodian,
• 29:21
  how should throwing be tested?
• 29:23
  I think the throw over the head was
• 29:27
  fine.
• 29:28
  It's the two side tosses beforehand that
• 29:31
  just felt like blah.
• 29:35
  But I'm wondering if they allowed three
• 29:39
  behind the back,
• 29:41
  it would have gone further than the arena
• 29:43
  floor.
• 29:44
  And maybe they should have only done two.
• 29:47
  I don't know how they would fix it.
• 29:49
  I thought that behind the back was the
• 29:51
  most exciting of the three,
• 29:54
  but maybe we should stop trying to polish
• 29:56
  a turd and just call it a turd
• 29:58
  and never bring it back again.
• 30:02
  But me saying that probably means if Dave
• 30:04
  heard it,
• 30:05
  he would bring it back just in spite
• 30:07
  of me.
• 30:11
  Over the bar would be so much better.
• 30:15
  CrossFit,
• 30:15
  after watching some of these athletes try
• 30:17
  to throw that thing,
• 30:19
  they would knock themselves out.
• 30:21
  They have no idea what release point to
• 30:24
  use.
• 30:25
  Now, some were fine.
• 30:29
  Some just brute strength chucked it.
• 30:35
  But, man,
• 30:35
  if they tried to go over a bar,
• 30:37
  they'd probably kill themselves.
• 30:43
  I was sitting with Amanda Harry during
• 30:45
  that event,
• 30:46
  and we're looking at each other like,
• 30:48
  exactly what John George is saying, like,
• 30:51
  what fitness is this even testing?
• 30:54
  I'm not sure it even truly is testing
• 30:56
  a throw.
• 30:58
  I don't know.
• 31:05
  They allowed Shelly in.
• 31:07
  So far, they have Trish.
• 31:13
  Shelly is too sweet of a person to
• 31:19
  be thrown out for saying anything.
• 31:22
  I really enjoyed my time with her and
• 31:24
  Larry this week.
• 31:27
  They were fun people.
• 31:30
  Barbell's been in the chat.
• 31:31
  Good morning.
• 31:38
  Over at Target.
• 31:38
  Again, Daniel, I think over at Target,
• 31:43
  I know that you paid for the Flow
• 31:45
  Elite stream.
• 31:46
  Look at how those athletes threw that bag.
• 31:50
  It was a train wreck.
• 31:52
  If they tried to throw it up and
• 31:54
  over,
• 31:55
  they were going to knock themselves out.
• 31:57
  I kid you not.
• 32:13
  uh getting in trouble for saying things on
• 32:18
  the internet is why i'm anonymous hard to
• 32:20
  work without access here's my feeling on
• 32:25
  this cross fat is if they don't let
• 32:28
  me in the games i can still talk
• 32:30
  about it um i'm not going to stop
• 32:34
  saying anything that i want to say my
• 32:38
  face is here every day at lunchtime
• 32:42
  Sunday nights,
• 32:44
  I try to be as open and honest
• 32:50
  and transparent as I can about my thoughts
• 32:52
  about things.
• 32:52
  And if they want to boot me,
• 32:54
  they're going to boot me.
• 32:56
  Do I think that's good for the sport?
• 32:58
  I think it's terrible for the sport.
• 33:04
  Yeah,
• 33:04
  why cut off the people that are trying
• 33:06
  to support the sport and get hype behind
• 33:10
  it?
• 33:11
  I don't know.
• 33:23
  But they all threw it up and behind
• 33:24
  them.
• 33:25
  I get that spin,
• 33:26
  but if you're trying to get up and
• 33:28
  over a target,
• 33:29
  the release point's going to be different
• 33:31
  than just trying to chuck it for distance.
• 33:35
  Up and over the release point,
• 33:38
  that thing could come straight back down.
• 33:49
  Omar, if you want me to convert times,
• 33:51
  you're talking to the wrong dude.
• 33:54
  I'm an East Coast guy in a West
• 33:56
  Coast time zone,
• 33:57
  and my body is all over the map.
• 34:01
  I have no freaking clue what time it
• 34:02
  is.
• 34:05
  The other night,
• 34:06
  I went to bed at like, six thirty.
• 34:19
  It happened to Brian Shaw.
• 34:20
  He just walked it off.
• 34:22
  Have you seen Brian Shaw's neck?
• 34:24
  Brian Shaw's able to walk it off.
• 34:28
  Most people would not be.
• 34:37
  So what's going on today?
• 34:42
  We got event fourteen announced.
• 34:44
  Gosh, I can't even remember it now.
• 34:48
  Um,
• 34:48
  let me see if I can pull that
• 34:49
  up real quick.
• 35:06
  So we have event today.
• 35:13
  I think this is going to be fun.
• 35:16
  Um,
• 35:19
  Ten bar muscle ups,
• 35:20
  fifteen GHD wall ball shots,
• 35:24
  twenty triple unders, one pig flip,
• 35:27
  fifteen bar muscle ups,
• 35:28
  twenty GHD wall ball shots,
• 35:30
  twenty-five triple unders, two pig flips,
• 35:33
  twenty bar muscle ups,
• 35:34
  twenty-five GHD wall ball shots,
• 35:36
  thirty triple unders, three pig flips.
• 35:40
  Time cap is fifteen minutes.
• 35:44
  So now we have triple unders and GHD
• 35:47
  wall ball shots.
• 35:49
  I I'd like to know the standard on
• 35:51
  the wobble shot.
• 35:54
  Oh,
• 35:54
  it is to a nine foot and ten
• 35:56
  foot target.
• 36:00
  From a GHD.
• 36:02
  That's going to be interesting.
• 36:06
  That's going to be very interesting.
• 36:07
  I did not read that part until just
• 36:09
  now.
• 36:14
  I think the triple unders are going to
• 36:15
  kill some people.
• 36:17
  Not like literally,
• 36:18
  but figuratively on the scoreboard.
• 36:24
  There are people that are not going to
• 36:26
  be able to get through this.
• 36:31
  And this is all over the place.
• 36:32
  I mean,
• 36:32
  you have like the monostructural triple
• 36:35
  under.
• 36:35
  You have the strongman pig flip.
• 36:39
  You have the bar muscle up gymnasty.
• 36:43
  And I don't know what you call the
• 36:44
  GHD.
• 36:49
  It's all over the map,
• 36:50
  but it should be fun to watch.
• 36:53
  That's for sure.
• 37:00
  I'm trying to let me see.
• 37:01
  Vicki sent me a new schedule this morning.
• 37:07
  So the individuals start at ten AM Pacific
• 37:10
  time.
• 37:11
  That's one PM Eastern with a five hundred
• 37:14
  meter run.
• 37:15
  Eleven a.m.
• 37:16
  We don't know the workout yet.
• 37:19
  Yes, we do.
• 37:20
  That's what I just talked about.
• 37:21
  Eleven a.m.
• 37:22
  Pacific time is this individual event.
• 37:27
  Fourteen.
• 37:28
  Then at two p.m.
• 37:30
  Pacific time, we have individual event.
• 37:33
  Fifteen speed snatch ladder and then
• 37:36
  individual event.
• 37:37
  Sixteen and seventeen is still to be
• 37:40
  determined.
• 37:43
  So that is.
• 37:46
  So then we only have three events
• 37:48
  tomorrow.
• 37:51
  And one of them is that ring roll
• 37:54
  to support stuff.
• 37:57
  So that's your individual events for
• 37:59
  today.
• 38:02
  And then teams already started at seven
• 38:04
  a.m.
• 38:05
  this morning.
• 38:07
  And then they have an eight twenty five
• 38:09
  Pacific time and a two twenty five.
• 38:13
  Those later workouts haven't even been
• 38:15
  announced yet.
• 38:18
  Oh,
• 38:18
  sixteen and seventeen are being announced
• 38:20
  right now.
• 38:24
  Omar is going to have to fill us
• 38:25
  in.
• 38:30
  Vicky,
• 38:30
  sorry I made that before the event was
• 38:33
  announced.
• 38:33
  Vicky, never apologize.
• 38:37
  You're keeping me on track this weekend
• 38:39
  with schedules for sure.
• 38:47
  So Omar, where is it being announced?
• 38:49
  Is it on the stream?
• 39:02
  Trying to pull it up.
• 39:10
  CrossFit IG, okay.
• 39:13
  I can do that.
• 39:36
  I don't see anything, Omar, live.
• 39:38
  Oh, gosh.
• 39:55
  The audio is cutting out on me.
• 40:08
  Can't hear anything.
• 40:12
  Looks like some sled drag stuff.
• 40:21
  Looks like a box.
• 40:23
  Looks like a biker or an echo bike.
• 40:27
  And we have a barbell.
• 40:34
  Yeah, way to go with the audio guys.
• 40:54
  I hear thrusters kind of under his breath.
• 40:57
  To me,
• 41:08
  it kind of looks like it's going to
• 41:09
  be a back-to-back with a sled thing and
• 41:15
  a box jump something.
• 41:20
  in the app now.
• 41:23
  I can't access the app, Vicky.
• 41:29
  If you can screenshot it and send it
• 41:31
  to me, that would be better.
• 41:45
  That is Pig Party.
• 41:46
  That is the team event, Vicky.
• 41:54
  We're looking for sixteen to seventeen.
• 41:57
  Yeah, this audio is atrocious.
• 41:58
  I think he lied.
• 42:23
  All right.
• 42:23
  This is, I can't even figure it out.
• 42:27
  There is no sound on that at all.
• 42:36
  And the mumble is distracting me.
• 42:39
  Okay.
• 42:40
  So that's what we have going on today.
• 42:42
  I'm glad you guys were all here.
• 42:45
  I want to thank each and every one
• 42:47
  of you.
• 42:49
  Today, this morning,
• 42:51
  I went over five thousand followers on
• 42:54
  Instagram,
• 42:54
  which I know to some people that's not
• 42:56
  a big deal.
• 42:57
  To me, it's a huge deal.
• 42:59
  I've never bought viewers.
• 43:01
  I've never bought subscribers.
• 43:03
  I've never bought followers.
• 43:05
  And to know that five thousand people have
• 43:08
  followed me for the content that we put
• 43:10
  out is very, very cool.
• 43:14
  and for it to happen at the crossfit
• 43:15
  games is really awesome almost seven years
• 43:19
  ago i started this podcast as a guy
• 43:22
  nobody knew and to get to this place
• 43:25
  where i have five thousand subscribers or
• 43:27
  three thousand subscribers and five
• 43:29
  thousand followers is very special to me
• 43:31
  and that's because of each and every one
• 43:33
  of you and i want to thank you
• 43:36

• 44:04
  to do something
• 44:06
  It may be after we get home,
• 44:08
