- 1:22behind her head,
- 1:24ready to be put on a plane to
- 1:26head to San Jose, California.
- 1:28You got it.
- 1:32And I finally have internet in California.
- 1:34I went to a local Starbucks.
- 1:36So hopefully this week I can actually hear
- 1:39you guys because the last two weeks I've
- 1:40just been here and not really listening
- 1:42because I couldn't really hear anything.
- 1:45So trying this out today.
- 1:47CrossFit says your bags are definitely too
- 1:49heavy.
- 1:54your bags are definitely too heavy.
- 2:07So Carolyn can hear this week,
- 2:08but now Jamie can't hear it cause she's
- 2:10in a car.
- 2:14Um,
- 2:18Yeah.
- 2:20Before we get into the CrossFit stuff,
- 2:21I got to tell you,
- 2:22I watched a new Michael Jackson movie this
- 2:23weekend.
- 2:24I still haven't watched it.
- 2:24I got to watch it still.
- 2:33It was really, really good.
- 2:35It just made me mad about how he
- 2:39was raised.
- 2:41But
- 2:43was a really really good movie especially
- 2:45i mean i was twelve years old when
- 2:47thriller came out so like i vividly
- 2:50remember that right it impacted my life
- 2:53greatly my wife is a little bit older
- 2:55than me so she was like really into
- 2:59thriller and we really enjoyed it start to
- 3:01finish so um great great show if you
- 3:09haven't seen it already
- 3:13I'll go watch it at some point.
- 3:15So it's still in theaters?
- 3:17It is.
- 3:24The other big thing I did this weekend
- 3:26was I moved more dirt,
- 3:29and then I woke up last night with
- 3:31my back locked.
- 3:33So I've just been stretching all morning
- 3:35trying to get it right and prepping for
- 3:38a six-hour flight to California.
- 3:40Yeah.
- 3:43Alexis' back is always getting locked
- 3:46lately, the past week.
- 3:48This week was a tough week for us
- 3:50because Coast, one of our two dogs,
- 3:55he had a little mass,
- 3:56a little localized mass on one of his
- 3:58toes.
- 3:59And we didn't really think anything of it.
- 4:01It wasn't too big.
- 4:02So then he got it tested and the
- 4:04results came back and
- 4:06Lex knows more about like all the details
- 4:08of it,
- 4:09but they had suggested for a full toe
- 4:12amputation.
- 4:13So like literally last minute,
- 4:17got into that on Thursday,
- 4:19got his toe amputated to not have,
- 4:23they basically said it was the best case
- 4:24for like a possible cancer to not spread.
- 4:28So he's been, you know,
- 4:29we bought a wagon.
- 4:31So on a little wagon,
- 4:32walking around because Callie,
- 4:34our other dog,
- 4:34still wants to go for like long walks.
- 4:36So it's been a tough week just taking
- 4:40care of him.
- 4:41And yeah, so that's been our busy,
- 4:47unplanned week and kind of changed a
- 4:49little bit of our plans even for this
- 4:50upcoming week at the games because she'll
- 4:53stay back now.
- 4:56um yeah i saw that i saw you
- 4:58guys post that stuff as a dog lover
- 5:01it you know i'm just glad he's doing
- 5:03okay he's the happiest golden doodle like
- 5:08ever um like you could do anything to
- 5:11him and he'll just he's just dookie um
- 5:15so i'm just happy that that's you know
- 5:19off and hopefully good news from there
- 5:20it'll get biopsied and we'll get like more
- 5:24detailed results from the biopsy but yeah
- 5:27he's in good hands like lex is so
- 5:29good with him like that's like her spirit
- 5:33dog it's their connection is so so deep
- 5:36so um yeah so she'll she'll uh stay
- 5:39and take care of him because he needs
- 5:41his mama
- 5:44Um, whoops, not wrong one.
- 5:45Cross fat kind of stops at an interesting
- 5:47point.
- 5:48He's talking about the Michael movie.
- 5:49I'm sure it did stop at an interesting
- 5:52point in more ways than one.
- 5:54Um,
- 5:54but I also think it kind of set
- 5:56it up for a sequel.
- 5:57And if you're going to watch it,
- 5:58know that almost the entire Jackson family
- 6:01are executive producers on the movie.
- 6:04So you're going to get the Jackson's
- 6:07perspective,
- 6:08which made his upbringing even more hard
- 6:11for me to watch.
- 6:15And because there were no punches pulled
- 6:18on that.
- 6:21Ed AI says, I watched Char take second,
- 6:25and it was just as dramatic.
- 6:29I think he's talking about Char LeClaire
- 6:30in the F-One race today,
- 6:33who I wanted to win over Kimi Antonelli
- 6:36so bad.
- 6:39I'm tired of him winning.
- 6:41I want anybody else but Kimi to win.
- 6:45Anybody but a Mercedes,
- 6:47that's what I want.
- 6:49Avera says, Scott,
- 6:50sounds like you need an inversion table.
- 6:51It will change your life.
- 6:52I've tried inversion tables.
- 6:54It does not work for me.
- 6:56Whatever I have going on in my back,
- 6:59it actually makes it worse.
- 7:04They just released the thirty-five to
- 7:07thirty-nine, I think, workout.
- 7:13Okay, we'll look at that in a minute.
- 7:21You need the vibrating belt.
- 7:22That's what you need.
- 7:22Robo cop.
- 7:26Yes.
- 7:26Yeah.
- 7:26Um, actually I wanted to tell you, Jamie,
- 7:29I'm bringing you my red light therapy.
- 7:35Yep.
- 7:39Awesome.
- 7:39So you'll get that on Wednesday sometime.
- 7:45Um, before we dive into the new workout,
- 7:49Amy was bored this weekend.
- 7:50And so three days, I said four,
- 7:52but it was really three days prior to
- 7:54the games.
- 7:56I was corrected on that last night.
- 7:57Um,
- 7:59she decided to do a local comp and
- 8:01just go win it.
- 8:03You're crazy for that.
- 8:03Yeah, I know.
- 8:04I don't feel too bad.
- 8:04It wasn't, it was,
- 8:08it was good programming.
- 8:25Nothing like beat us up,
- 8:26but my idiot self tore.
- 8:26So I gotta, that's the only issue.
- 8:28Well,
- 8:29the comp is outside and like hot bars
- 8:30or rings and yeah, that's tougher to,
- 8:31hand maintenance and heat is always
- 8:33something to deal with.
- 8:36It is in the most beautiful location
- 8:38though ever.
- 8:41Uh,
- 8:41having gone there a couple of years ago,
- 8:43right on Lake Michigan, it is,
- 8:47if you want to have fun at a
- 8:48comp, go to fresh coast.
- 8:50It is a blast.
- 8:54Yeah, we were nervous.
- 8:55Cause like the air quality index was like,
- 8:59I don't know, four hundred on Friday.
- 9:03And it actually went down to like sixty
- 9:05on Saturday.
- 9:06It went back up to like one twenty
- 9:07today,
- 9:08which they were still competing today,
- 9:10the intermediate.
- 9:11um before intermediate but it actually was
- 9:19not bad yesterday the air was pretty good
- 9:21uh crossfit wants to know if you can
- 9:22get him a number seven with the diet
- 9:23coke you know we'll swing through um all
- 9:32right so carolyn is it on legends yeah
- 9:37it's on their instagram
- 9:39Okay,
- 9:40I think I have legends pulled up here.
- 9:42Let me refresh.
- 9:42Is it true that this got added to
- 9:43Forty to Forty-Four also?
- 9:47Oh, I don't know.
- 9:48I just got a notification that said
- 9:50Legends Workout is out.
- 9:55Yes, Forty to Forty-Four.
- 9:56Oh, there we go.
- 9:57Jay, you get a seventh event.
- 9:59I went to Fresh Ghost and I thought
- 10:01I only had six.
- 10:04They heard the complaints.
- 10:07Eight rounds for time.
- 10:09Eight.
- 10:11I said eight rounds for time of a
- 10:13two hundred and forty shuttle run.
- 10:15One seated rope climb.
- 10:18One heavy sandbag clean.
- 10:23For forty to forty four,
- 10:25it is a two hundred and one fifty
- 10:27pound sandbag.
- 10:30Same for thirty five to thirty nine.
- 10:31I don't know why they put them out.
- 10:41Any thoughts?
- 10:42I hate the fact that you run and
- 10:44then you just go sit down.
- 10:47I like the run, go jump,
- 10:49and then go sandbag and make it a
- 10:50race.
- 10:51The just going to sit down,
- 10:52it's a mood killer.
- 10:53How do you want to say it?
- 10:56It stops the flow of the workout a
- 10:57little bit.
- 11:00Yeah,
- 11:01just straight leg lifts would have been
- 11:02fine there.
- 11:09I would have done like two legless or
- 11:13two slash one for the females or every
- 11:15other round is one for the females and
- 11:18two for the men.
- 11:19I think that would be more fun to
- 11:20watch.
- 11:23I always just find anytime we're just
- 11:24sitting down, it just looks dumb.
- 11:26It looks dumb.
- 11:28CrossFat says at least they made it in
- 11:29a font that the old people could read.
- 11:32Agreed.
- 11:36um i'm i hear exactly what you're saying
- 11:40i've about legends a lot i came in
- 11:42tonight wanting to about legends and not
- 11:45sure if i was going to because i
- 11:48don't even know who's at fault but at
- 11:50least this is high skill for once it
- 11:54is a this is a what i would
- 11:57call a games type workout finally
- 12:03But I do hate seated rope climbs for
- 12:05what Carolyn said.
- 12:06It's just a bad look.
- 12:09Even though it's a higher skill and I
- 12:11respect what they're trying to do with it,
- 12:13if you're watching it as a spectator,
- 12:15it just looks weird when everybody's
- 12:17sitting down.
- 12:19I would just rather see two legless where
- 12:22you're running and then you jump up, boom,
- 12:24come back down, go.
- 12:25I think that would look better.
- 12:31but I do want to give them credit
- 12:33for it.
- 12:33This is actually a pretty good workout.
- 12:36Yeah.
- 12:40So, um, anyway, that just got,
- 12:46that just got released.
- 12:49Um,
- 12:53I had a thing about only six events.
- 12:54I guess I don't have to bitch about
- 12:56that unless I am doing that for forty
- 12:58five to.
- 13:00Seventy plus.
- 13:03But.
- 13:07What I do want to say and and
- 13:09my the feelings I'm expressing are mine
- 13:11and mine alone, mine, Scott Switzer,
- 13:15not my co-hosts.
- 13:17Just mine.
- 13:19Is that.
- 13:21Two years ago,
- 13:22we had nine events for Masters athletes at
- 13:24the games.
- 13:26Last year, we had eight.
- 13:28Now,
- 13:29seven if you're a forty-four or under,
- 13:32six if you're forty-five and up.
- 13:35They keep going down and down and down.
- 13:37They cut the field.
- 13:41They have their own venue for three days.
- 13:45Dedicated to just them.
- 13:47Yet we can't.
- 13:48And some of the events are super fast.
- 13:53Couple minutes long.
- 13:55So why in the bloody hell do we
- 13:58keep reducing the number of workouts?
- 14:01These are the elite athletes in these age
- 14:03groups.
- 14:04The best of the best.
- 14:06They should be tested as such.
- 14:11And six events doesn't cut it.
- 14:18End of story.
- 14:19That's all I got to say about that.
- 14:21But I was so pissed off this weekend
- 14:25because I'm flying all the way across the
- 14:27country to see my two friends compete at
- 14:30the CrossFit Games.
- 14:31And I've met so many other Masters
- 14:32athletes, so a lot of them.
- 14:35And the fact that I'm going all this
- 14:40way and I don't get there till Wednesday
- 14:42and I'm only going to see like two
- 14:44events just pisses me off.
- 14:50Yeah,
- 14:50and I still think they have an issue
- 14:51with, like, putting on a show and, like,
- 14:55making them spectator-friendly workouts.
- 14:59Like,
- 14:59the row he and Stan lost one is
- 15:02going to be extremely hard to follow as
- 15:05a reason.
- 15:05Yep.
- 15:05You won't know who you are in that
- 15:12race.
- 15:13I don't even know who to fully blame
- 15:15because I don't know how much CrossFit has
- 15:18a hand in it,
- 15:19if they care at all,
- 15:21if they don't care and they're just
- 15:22letting it go.
- 15:25But yet they're restricting the people.
- 15:27I don't even know where the blame lies
- 15:29in the whole thing.
- 15:31It's just ugly.
- 15:33And I saw comments about we should just
- 15:37boycott.
- 15:38You lose the Masters in the Open,
- 15:41you're losing a lot of money.
- 15:44That's all I got to say.
- 15:46You lose a handful of elite athletes,
- 15:49no big deal.
- 15:50You can keep moving on.
- 15:51People will take their place.
- 15:53But the Masters bring most of the money
- 15:56to the ball game for that.
- 16:03And I know nobody wants to watch them,
- 16:04and I know that I'm the only one
- 16:06there in the stands, which is a lie,
- 16:08because last year the stands were pretty
- 16:10damn full for the Masters CrossFit Games
- 16:13at a ticket price that was ungodly and
- 16:18still quite a few people.
- 16:20So, anyway.
- 16:24I'm going to be curious.
- 16:26Sorry,
- 16:27I just started thinking about the legless
- 16:28workout.
- 16:30I don't know how many we had at
- 16:32semifinals the one year,
- 16:34but like on the female side for seated
- 16:36legless,
- 16:37it wasn't more than like a handful and
- 16:40like a lot of females couldn't do it.
- 16:44So eight,
- 16:45I think is going to be a huge.
- 16:48huge, huge separator,
- 16:50especially on the female side,
- 16:52where I just think that's one of the
- 16:54movements that we lag a little bit behind
- 16:56on the men's side,
- 16:57specifically the seated legless.
- 16:59So I'm wondering if the lower the target,
- 17:01seeing as we have the same reps as
- 17:03the men,
- 17:04if like the men go to the beam
- 17:05and the women go to like a red
- 17:07part, or if it's,
- 17:08but it could have been,
- 17:09because ours was seated up and down.
- 17:11I don't know what the rules will be
- 17:12for this one, if it's just seated up,
- 17:15but yeah.
- 17:17Yeah.
- 17:20CrossFit cross fat says masters usually
- 17:23bring affiliate members and family.
- 17:26True.
- 17:29um there's rooting for you too i think
- 17:31the tickets so um because lex wasn't isn't
- 17:34coming anymore so i was trying to get
- 17:36um a couple people from the gym that
- 17:37i've been training at here across at
- 17:39sublime um and uh we were looking at
- 17:42like single day tickets and it was like
- 17:44one twenty five per day for like one
- 17:47day ticket and like a hundred twenty five
- 17:50to see the same workout like seven eight
- 17:54times i don't know how many divisions we
- 17:55have but like that's crazy
- 17:58Oh,
- 17:58hundred and twenty five to go in and
- 18:00watch like on the on the Tuesday,
- 18:08there's only one workout that you're going
- 18:09to see.
- 18:09Correct.
- 18:10Yeah.
- 18:11Like at least at least or for most
- 18:14people on Tuesday and Thursday and
- 18:16Thursday, they're only seeing one workout.
- 18:19And then on the Wednesday is the day
- 18:20that is more worth it because then you
- 18:22get three events.
- 18:24But the other two days,
- 18:26you're only seeing the athletes really
- 18:28twice.
- 18:28So that's extremely expensive for people
- 18:33to come watch.
- 18:35Okay, so that makes a great point.
- 18:38Flow Elite is cheaper than a ticket to
- 18:40the games.
- 18:40That's true.
- 18:41Hopefully the stream is good.
- 18:49Carolyn did bring up a point before we
- 18:51went live on the air that it appears
- 18:53that men and women may be going at
- 18:55the same time,
- 18:57which is another reason that why the hell
- 18:59are we cutting the number of events down
- 19:02if you're running two floors?
- 19:03Totally agree.
- 19:08But there it is.
- 19:13Denise said something up here.
- 19:14I'm trying to find it.
- 19:17But they also need more volunteers.
- 19:19Well,
- 19:20when you're trying to run two floors,
- 19:22you're going to need a lot of volunteers.
- 19:25You need double everything for every
- 19:27event.
- 19:34It is what it is.
- 19:39That's true.
- 19:40Becca Voigt-Miller in the chat.
- 19:42men do the rope climb legless women just
- 19:45have a seated start based off of the
- 19:47living document thanks becca that makes
- 19:51sense that would be yeah that makes sense
- 19:53so it's like half legless basically until
- 19:55you can get your feet that's that changes
- 19:57it because i i don't think many
- 20:01in the thirty five to forty four division
- 20:04would do eight seated legless on the
- 20:06female side like i just think most people
- 20:09would get cast so i like that it
- 20:11changes it a little bit more i still
- 20:13don't like the seated position to start i
- 20:16just think it ruins the flow thank you
- 20:19for that because it that went live becca
- 20:21went after we went live on the air
- 20:24so we all we had was the instagram
- 20:28I'm at dinner,
- 20:30so I'm going to leave you guys.
- 20:33Have a great dinner.
- 20:34And I'll see you tomorrow.
- 20:35I'm going to make the drive down tomorrow
- 20:36morning.
- 20:42Have a safe flight.
- 20:44If you didn't hear me.
- 20:46What was I going to say?
- 20:48And the two hundred and forty feet.
- 20:49I'm wondering then if the floor is in.
- 20:54Thirty feet increments.
- 20:58And let's say it's eight times, one, two,
- 21:00three, four.
- 21:01So that'll be probably the same case for
- 21:04the handstand walk is thirty feet.
- 21:06But like in five foot sections,
- 21:07if I were to guess.
- 21:13Avera asked, Carolyn,
- 21:14would legless cap most women if they only
- 21:16had to go to twelve feet versus fifteen
- 21:18feet for men?
- 21:19I still I still think the seated legless
- 21:22is super hard.
- 21:24Like when even like think about the
- 21:25alpaca.
- 21:26I mean,
- 21:26I get that rig is much higher,
- 21:28but like,
- 21:28no one could even do six seated.
- 21:31I mean,
- 21:31I think that was up and down.
- 21:33Now,
- 21:33I just don't remember if the regionals was
- 21:35up and down.
- 21:36I think it was up and down,
- 21:37which is why I'm thinking that it was
- 21:38like, so so so difficult.
- 21:40Just on the way up.
- 21:42I still think it it's hard for
- 21:46the majority of the field,
- 21:49you would get some finishers, of course.
- 21:51But I think if you're looking for at
- 21:52least a third or like half of the
- 21:54field to finish,
- 21:54I think that would be difficult for eight,
- 21:57eight rounds of that seated legless.
- 22:01You're right.
- 22:05We know,
- 22:06do we know all the events now for
- 22:07masters?
- 22:09We do.
- 22:12All of them.
- 22:12So eight scored events.
- 22:15I'm assuming it's a hundred and a hundred
- 22:17on the row one.
- 22:17I'm assuming.
- 22:19So yeah,
- 22:20eight scored events for two divisions and
- 22:23seven scored events for the remaining
- 22:25divisions.
- 22:26I think the teenagers only have six scored
- 22:29events, which is crazy as well.
- 22:33And adaptive division.
- 22:38The other thing they announced is the kits
- 22:40you guys are going to be receiving,
- 22:42which was a little more bountiful than
- 22:44what was initially rumored.
- 22:48I mean,
- 22:48I heard one shirt and one pair of
- 22:50shorts.
- 22:51Yeah,
- 22:52I was seeing a lot of the Yeti
- 22:55stuff.
- 22:56One of my friends works for,
- 22:57I think the sponsorship stuff for just
- 23:01CrossFit in general.
- 23:03And she was telling me that the divisional
- 23:04games are completely separated in terms of
- 23:07what they receive and all that.
- 23:10So I think that's all we're gonna get
- 23:11is the elite days.
- 23:12I don't know how much of like the
- 23:14other sponsors that we really get or if
- 23:15those sponsors are mostly just for the
- 23:18main show of like the teams and the
- 23:21individual athletes.
- 23:23But yeah, it's like two t-shirts,
- 23:25a tank top,
- 23:26maybe two pairs of shorts and a pair
- 23:28of leggings.
- 23:29And then we're only forced to wear the
- 23:30work,
- 23:32that's higher one of the workouts each day
- 23:34and they'll let us know which one of
- 23:35the workouts i'm assuming it's maybe one
- 23:37of their more prime time flow leaks stuff
- 23:40um yeah so the other times you can
- 23:43wear whatever you want as long as it's
- 23:45not um like bad words or political stuff
- 23:51that they also said to not put on
- 23:53your shirt and that's about all the
- 23:58restraints i think
- 24:00um they also you also get grips and
- 24:02you get wristbands and sports bras yeah
- 24:07yeah but i don't think we're getting shoes
- 24:11though i like the valitez shoes that we
- 24:13got last year uh with the regular uh
- 24:18games i wear those quite often yeah like
- 24:21they're comfy but yes they do have a
- 24:24very euro fit um and
- 24:29The shirts are actually really
- 24:30comfortable,
- 24:30but my thing last year was they only
- 24:33do crop tops.
- 24:35finishes for the female.
- 24:36So they only had female tank tops that
- 24:38were crop tops and the T-shirts were all
- 24:41crop tops.
- 24:42So I had a big bust last year
- 24:44and essentially cried and got them to give
- 24:48me a men's T-shirt.
- 24:50So I'm hoping because I've emailed them
- 24:52multiple times during the year to say that
- 24:55not everyone wears crop tops.
- 24:56It's certainly not everyone in the
- 24:59master's division is going to be
- 25:00comfortable wearing crop tops.
- 25:01I'm not comfortable wearing crop top.
- 25:03So I hope
- 25:05I hope they will bring a regular fitting
- 25:09t-shirt or tank top for some athletes.
- 25:12So,
- 25:13because if we're forced to wear one of
- 25:15their things,
- 25:16I brought shirts from last year that had
- 25:18my name on it, preparing that, like,
- 25:20I'm not wearing that crop top on the
- 25:21floor.
- 25:21I don't care what they say.
- 25:22I'll wear a Revo Belitez or just a
- 25:25Belitez CrossFit t-shirt.
- 25:28So I hope they'll let me.
- 25:28I'm sure they will.
- 25:29If it's just Belitez.
- 25:31Terrible Tessa says,
- 25:32I hate wearing crop tops too.
- 25:34Um,
- 25:37CrossFat says that their velites is a very
- 25:39Euro fit.
- 25:41And someone wanted to know what is a
- 25:42Euro fit?
- 25:43Kenneth,
- 25:44what is a Euro fit for us non-world
- 25:46travelers?
- 25:46A little smaller, a little tighter.
- 25:52Denise says not everyone wears shorts.
- 25:56This is very true too.
- 25:57So a lot of like...
- 26:00games out these like they they want to
- 26:02wear leggings right like you do barbell
- 26:03stuff road climb stuff um and having like
- 26:06one pair of leggings for the whole weekend
- 26:08is you know not not the best so
- 26:11i just wish that like if you if
- 26:13they would send us an email for sizing
- 26:15and stuff and like if they already had
- 26:16the clothes already picked up and be like
- 26:18i want three of that three of that
- 26:20like don't even worry about sending me
- 26:22this i'm not gonna wear it
- 26:24Like, I just wish we could do that.
- 26:25So people could just be comfortable on the
- 26:27floor because the worst thing is to,
- 26:30you know,
- 26:30you want to be just out there on
- 26:31the floor and performing and not have to
- 26:32think about, you know, being,
- 26:35it could be self-conscious.
- 26:36It could be uncomfortable.
- 26:37It could be the wrong fit.
- 26:39You just want to be able to like
- 26:40compete.
- 26:41And when you're forced to wear things that
- 26:43you're not comfortable with,
- 26:44it's just another factor that shouldn't be
- 26:46in there.
- 26:47So hopefully they'll figure out clothes
- 26:51this year.
- 26:56um let's move to the open division i
- 27:01see the chat talking a lot so i'm
- 27:04going to address it very quickly but not
- 27:08more as much as you guys think i
- 27:10may or may not whatever i i am
- 27:13aware of what happened today with the
- 27:15barbell spin releasing a video with
- 27:18accusations against the savan podcast
- 27:22From the beginning of this rift between
- 27:25the two of them, I have said,
- 27:28I hate that it's happening.
- 27:30I really hate that it's happening three
- 27:32days before the games.
- 27:35The attention should be on the athletes
- 27:38and the amazing performances that they
- 27:41have put forth to get to the CrossFit
- 27:43Games.
- 27:46I have not talked to Brian Spinn.
- 27:49I have not talked to anybody on the
- 27:51Savant team.
- 27:52I don't know what all is involved with
- 27:54this.
- 27:55If what was alleged is true about
- 27:59critiques made against CrossFit got people
- 28:02kept out of the games, that is bullshit,
- 28:07in my opinion.
- 28:09we live in a country with free speech.
- 28:11You should be able to say what you
- 28:12want to say,
- 28:13and you should be then allowed to go
- 28:15to places regardless of your opinions.
- 28:19As long as you are not threatening someone
- 28:22or doing something dire or using hate
- 28:26speech,
- 28:28you should be able to say what you
- 28:30want to say.
- 28:32I do not like things being taken out
- 28:34of context and used.
- 28:36But again,
- 28:37I don't know enough details to be able
- 28:41to comment further than that.
- 28:43So that's where I'm going to leave it
- 28:45tonight.
- 28:47And again,
- 28:48I have not commented on any of this
- 28:50rift as it's gone on because I have
- 28:54friends on both sides.
- 28:58I respect people on both sides.
- 29:00There are people on both sides that I
- 29:01don't get along with well.
- 29:04And I just don't know all the details
- 29:07enough to be able to speak more to
- 29:08it than that.
- 29:11So with that,
- 29:13we'll move on to the people that deserve
- 29:15the attention.
- 29:16And those are the athletes who have made
- 29:18it to the CrossFit Games.
- 29:28CrossFit said, don't agree with it,
- 29:30but Portnoy and Big Cat made killer
- 29:32content when the NFL banned them.
- 29:35Barstool Sports blew up when they started
- 29:37getting banned from places.
- 29:39It's all how you take it and what
- 29:41you do with it to move forward.
- 29:45And there are very talented people that
- 29:47are now banned who can take that
- 29:50opportunity and use it to their advantage.
- 29:56Um, so with that, with that, the,
- 30:03they released media in,
- 30:05in they released media information to the
- 30:08media members coming to the CrossFit
- 30:10games.
- 30:12It is,
- 30:12it is locked down more this year than
- 30:14it's ever been locked down.
- 30:16Um,
- 30:16because of the exclusive broadcast rights
- 30:19of flow elite, um,
- 30:21You cannot film anything live from the
- 30:24CrossFit Games until like forty eight
- 30:26hours after the games have ended,
- 30:29which I don't know how you can do
- 30:31live after it's over.
- 30:33But those were the instructions we were
- 30:35given.
- 30:36So essentially, you can talk live,
- 30:38you can be at the venue live,
- 30:41but you cannot take anything of the floor
- 30:44live during the games.
- 30:47Let's call that the Corinne Pepper rule.
- 30:52mean that makes sense right you see it
- 30:56i mean you'll still see some people
- 30:58probably film their their favorite athlete
- 31:02on instagram live here and there but like
- 31:04they're they are such small accounts that
- 31:07it's hard to we will see this looked
- 31:10a lot more that's sent to the media
- 31:12but like there's fans that will do
- 31:13sometimes you know live and it is what
- 31:16it is sometimes but i've been to concerts
- 31:18now where if you pull your phone out
- 31:20you you could be asked to leave
- 31:22Oh, really?
- 31:23Yeah.
- 31:23I don't go to enough concerts.
- 31:27So, yeah,
- 31:27my wife went to a concert that if
- 31:28you pulled your phone out,
- 31:29you were asked to leave.
- 31:31Escorted out, I should actually say.
- 31:36I have to subscribe to the flow elite
- 31:38tomorrow.
- 31:39I've told myself that.
- 31:40So I have two accounts now because you
- 31:42can't,
- 31:42you can't have more than one person, uh,
- 31:45watch it at a time from a different
- 31:46location.
- 31:47So I'm like subscribing for my,
- 31:49my family back home.
- 31:51And then Lex will also want to watch.
- 31:53So she has one there.
- 31:54So, um, I mean,
- 31:56you have to expect that at some point,
- 31:59like it goes behind the paywall,
- 32:01like a lot of sports are heading that
- 32:03way.
- 32:04Um,
- 32:06I don't mind.
- 32:07I don't mind paying like it sucks,
- 32:09but like I don't mind paying thirty
- 32:10dollars to like I'm just such a fan
- 32:13of CrossFit.
- 32:13I just know it's going to other people
- 32:16might not watch certain events or maybe
- 32:18they're not going to watch at all this
- 32:20year.
- 32:20But and they'll wait to see the
- 32:23leaderboard or whatever pop up on
- 32:25Instagram.
- 32:25But I don't know.
- 32:26To me, you know,
- 32:28I go to a restaurant and it's around
- 32:29that time or, you know,
- 32:31that price to go out for dinner like
- 32:32you can pay for it.
- 32:34to subscribe if you really are interested
- 32:37in watching.
- 32:40You can't take photos.
- 32:42You can't take photos of the live event.
- 32:45You just can't broadcast the event live to
- 32:48any platform.
- 32:52You can even take video as long as
- 32:54it follows a very prescribed rule.
- 33:01But you just cannot broadcast live.
- 33:04One of the things that I just didn't
- 33:06really like from the way that they put
- 33:08the Flow Elite is sometimes the women's
- 33:10heat is on Flow Elite only or sometimes
- 33:14the men's heat is on Flow Elite only.
- 33:17I don't like that.
- 33:19I feel like either both of them are
- 33:23on Flow Elite or they're both not.
- 33:25It's only one occurrence,
- 33:26but I knew what you mean.
- 33:28I think it's event fifteen.
- 33:30Women only is on the paywall.
- 33:31There's like two or three of them,
- 33:33I thought.
- 33:35But I thought that was just weird.
- 33:41I don't particularly like that.
- 33:42CrossFit,
- 33:43I do believe it's going to be Hamilton
- 33:44Roads for this year,
- 33:46but I do think that Flo is going
- 33:48to try to
- 33:50If you listen to their co-founder on the
- 33:53CrossFit podcast,
- 33:55I think they're going to ramp up after
- 33:57this year and create their own team to
- 34:00do these things.
- 34:04So just so I so half, like,
- 34:06let's say half of the events are on
- 34:07flow lead.
- 34:07And the other half are still on YouTube
- 34:09for people to watch free.
- 34:10Is that how I understood?
- 34:11So it's seventy five percent.
- 34:13Seventy five percent of the events are not
- 34:15behind the paywall.
- 34:16Okay.
- 34:17And they'll be on flow,
- 34:19YouTube and the games channel.
- 34:22And Flow is doing something awesome where
- 34:24they're giving prizes,
- 34:27like money prizes for best,
- 34:28I don't know if it's best performance or
- 34:30a gritty type performance.
- 34:31Like I think about something like someone
- 34:33like, you know,
- 34:34Rebecca Foussier maybe a few years ago
- 34:36could have maybe have gotten an extra
- 34:37bonus for, you know,
- 34:40perseverance or however you want to call
- 34:41it.
- 34:42They say it's like grittiest performance.
- 34:44Yeah.
- 34:45I don't know how they're going to judge
- 34:46that,
- 34:47but it's still putting money into the
- 34:49ecosystem.
- 34:50So,
- 34:52Good for them.
- 34:54I think like the fusillade thing would be
- 34:56an easy call.
- 34:58That event,
- 34:58you would say Rebecca deserves it.
- 35:01But other ones,
- 35:02it's going to be a tough call who
- 35:03got the grittiest performance.
- 35:07So I did enjoy that.
- 35:09Made me want to chip in my thirty
- 35:11bucks a bit more.
- 35:12But the only thing I was concerned with
- 35:14is like,
- 35:14let's say we're going all the time,
- 35:16especially the Masters division,
- 35:17men and women at the same time.
- 35:19How are they going to juggle the races?
- 35:23Is there going to be a feature that
- 35:25you can choose the woman or the men's
- 35:27floor?
- 35:28on their website.
- 35:29I hope that they allow you to choose
- 35:32both,
- 35:32but I'm not sure that they would have
- 35:34the broadcasters for both.
- 35:36I think it's going to be similar maybe
- 35:38to Legends where sometimes you just kind
- 35:40of miss half the race.
- 35:43Not ideal.
- 35:45I'll wait and see after the events for
- 35:49more judgment.
- 35:52There's also Strava is the new wearable
- 35:58No, I don't think it was Strava.
- 36:01I think it started with a W or
- 36:03something.
- 36:03Yeah, I tried to find it real quick,
- 36:07but it's buried.
- 36:09Here it is.
- 36:13Wuro, W-O-U-R-O, sorry.
- 36:16Wuro.
- 36:18They are doing bounties for certain
- 36:22events.
- 36:24So they are doing bounties for event one,
- 36:28They are actually going to give a bounty
- 36:30for the total,
- 36:31the actual total of the total.
- 36:34And then the event, ten, twelve, fifteen,
- 36:36sixteen, eighteen, and twenty.
- 36:44So yeah,
- 36:45it's a total of sixty eight thousand
- 36:46dollars added to the prize pool.
- 36:50Love it.
- 36:50So like, you know, some of these athletes,
- 36:52you know,
- 36:52you've got twenty events or
- 36:54attempts at trying to get a prize
- 36:57possibly.
- 36:58I'm assuming CrossFit's still doing maybe
- 37:00the prize also for the first.
- 37:02There used to be like a three thousand
- 37:04for a first,
- 37:05second was like two thousand and third was
- 37:07maybe an additional thousand.
- 37:10Assuming that there's some sort of prize
- 37:13money to each event.
- 37:15If you have a wheelhouse workout that you
- 37:17can go for, you just go for it.
- 37:19Especially because there's
- 37:22Twenty athletes out of the field of sixty.
- 37:25So, you know,
- 37:26a third of the athletes are going home
- 37:28most likely with zero dollars, you know,
- 37:30twenty first to thirty.
- 37:31So, you know,
- 37:33I like that these sponsors are adding a
- 37:37bit more money.
- 37:39I'm fifty six years old with bad eyes.
- 37:42So apparently it's work.
- 37:45W.U.R.Q.
- 37:50uh did a lion roar behind carolyn uh
- 37:53she's at a starbucks someone was probably
- 37:54getting some steamed milk no they're
- 37:57cleaning the tables and i think like drag
- 37:58the whole table um okay so there's that
- 38:06we know a little bit more this week
- 38:08we know there's a five hundred meter run
- 38:10and we know there's a speed snatch ladder
- 38:12that was released we not call it a
- 38:14sprint though that is not a sprint
- 38:19I understand why you say that.
- 38:22To me as a spectator,
- 38:24that terminology doesn't matter to me.
- 38:28They're just going to run fast.
- 38:30Yes, it's who can run fast the longest.
- 38:33It's not a sprint.
- 38:35It's like a completely different energy
- 38:37system.
- 38:38Your top sprinters, top, top,
- 38:40top sprinters,
- 38:42that's not necessarily their race.
- 38:51The demo team was announced.
- 38:55And I have that here.
- 39:04So we have Rafa Sanson is the captain
- 39:08of the demo team.
- 39:10Grace Walton and Chris Ibarra representing
- 39:12Proven.
- 39:13I mean, add the demo team.
- 39:16Then we have Bill Leahy, Emily Rolfe,
- 39:19and Sydney Smith.
- 39:23I actually think these are pretty good
- 39:24choices other than the connection to
- 39:28camps,
- 39:30which is really just the proven camp.
- 39:31I think the other three are unaffiliated.
- 39:35that's what i like about like rolf is
- 39:37not connected i don't think to anyone and
- 39:40she's a great tester and can give very
- 39:43good you know data sydney i don't think
- 39:47i think she's invictus maybe so i don't
- 39:49think that she's and then she also has
- 39:52some team experience so maybe could um
- 39:54give some input for some of the team
- 39:56workouts same with rafa bill i think does
- 39:59his own thing as well so he's not
- 40:00connected it's just the other two that
- 40:02would be connected to proven
- 40:06Yeah.
- 40:07What's worse?
- 40:10Your dating partner being on a demo team
- 40:12or a twin?
- 40:15What do you think is...
- 40:18I think a twin.
- 40:20You're a twin.
- 40:21Yeah.
- 40:22You have that connection.
- 40:24We don't even have to speak.
- 40:25Yeah.
- 40:27Okay.
- 40:29A partner too, though.
- 40:30Your dating partner is...
- 40:33It's bad.
- 40:34I think a twin is just a tick
- 40:36worse.
- 40:39I'll agree.
- 40:39I'll agree with that one.
- 40:41But both are fit.
- 40:44It's just, yeah.
- 40:45I don't know how... I mean,
- 40:48every year there's kind of conflict of
- 40:50interest on the demo team.
- 40:52The perception doesn't look great for
- 40:54multiple reasons when people are connected
- 40:59to people that are competing,
- 41:01but
- 41:02They continue to do it every year.
- 41:06But they are fit and they will give
- 41:08great data, I'm sure.
- 41:09And I'm hoping that most of the events
- 41:11are pretty much finalized and they might
- 41:12just be doing most of the team workouts,
- 41:14I'm assuming.
- 41:17Yeah,
- 41:18I told you before we went live that
- 41:21I saw Emily did the trail run and
- 41:24she's the perfect person to test that.
- 41:28Awesome person.
- 41:28She will give you the, the,
- 41:30the top end where that's going to be.
- 41:32Yeah.
- 41:32Yeah.
- 41:34She's great.
- 41:37So, um,
- 41:38and like grace is probably the best
- 41:40swimming tester.
- 41:43So I think like they have some really
- 41:45good people there.
- 41:46I bar is just like good at everything.
- 41:49Yeah.
- 41:49He's well rounded.
- 41:50So like,
- 41:51I feel like he can give some really
- 41:52good, um,
- 41:55dad as well,
- 41:56and Rafa's been there forever.
- 41:58I feel like he's always testing.
- 42:03I think each member kind of brings
- 42:04something
- 42:06you know, to the table.
- 42:08Like back then,
- 42:09there used to be like a strength
- 42:10specialist, a gymnastic specialist.
- 42:11It's kind of like a well-rounded.
- 42:12I feel like, you know,
- 42:14this is just a fit group of athletes
- 42:17here that they're on the bubble basically
- 42:21at any stage of the year.
- 42:22They're right there.
- 42:23So I think they'll get all the information
- 42:25that they need to test.
- 42:30So let me ask you this.
- 42:31Who is more beat up coming into the
- 42:33games?
- 42:34a CrossFit Games athlete, or Rafa Sanson?
- 42:40He goes through the ringer.
- 42:41I feel like he tests like five versions
- 42:43of things.
- 42:44Does he live in California?
- 42:46I believe he lives right there.
- 42:48That's why he's used.
- 42:49He's just a guinea pig for everything.
- 42:52That's why Allie Scuds got used all the
- 42:54time because she lived right there,
- 42:58like Santa Cruz, Aromas area.
- 43:02yeah and like i assume that you know
- 43:05he is also uh what's the word like
- 43:10has good integrity that he's been able to
- 43:13um do the workouts is able to you
- 43:16know keep his mouth shut to to stay
- 43:17on the demo team um the last couple
- 43:20years or just as a tester right because
- 43:23that says a lot when you're able to
- 43:25get you know a lot of testing and
- 43:27they keep asking you back because keep
- 43:29your mouth shut which is i mean ideally
- 43:31what you want for the games is to
- 43:32not have any people have advantage so i
- 43:35hope i really hope that it's not the
- 43:37case this year that there's no leaks and
- 43:39that it's a fair test they've released a
- 43:41lot of the workouts they're going to
- 43:42release over half of them but some of
- 43:44the secret ones you hope that the testers
- 43:46have kept their mouth pretty shut we'll
- 43:48see uh he did
- 43:55Sorry.
- 43:56He doesn't really look like Dave's type.
- 44:00He's willing to do everything,
- 44:01and that's Dave's type.
- 44:06And I would say the video he did
- 44:07with Greg Glassman in learning the
- 44:10backward roll to support is one of the
- 44:12best videos I've seen in a while.
- 44:15And I actually jumped up when he got
- 44:16it.
- 44:17I was excited that he was able to
- 44:20get it.
- 44:26Eric Mackey asks,
- 44:27how much really does change week of the
- 44:29games due to last minute testing?
- 44:31All I can tell you is what I
- 44:33know from personal experience of
- 44:35volunteering at North Park during the
- 44:40twenty seventeen games.
- 44:42A lot changed.
- 44:45from my experience there was you know the
- 44:47test is already made um but there's some
- 44:51stuff that you can't do until the whole
- 44:53floor is laid out so it could be
- 44:55adjustments to time caps as sorry
- 44:57someone's moving the table it could be
- 44:58adjustments to time caps as the
- 45:00transitions are kind of getting calculated
- 45:02or now you're getting top athletes tested
- 45:04so before this
- 45:06you were getting good testers maybe high
- 45:08level semi-final athletes now you're
- 45:10getting some games athletes that are like
- 45:12been there a while and can give you
- 45:14better information on how the events are
- 45:17going to be for them so you might
- 45:19see a few time cap change maybe a
- 45:21movement or two change but for the most
- 45:23part it's pretty set but there could be
- 45:26some changes last minute
- 45:29Yeah, personally,
- 45:30I was there for strongman's fear.
- 45:32The weight of the Viking things,
- 45:36that changed the week of the games.
- 45:39The way the rope was connected to the
- 45:40sled changed the week of the games.
- 45:45The hay bales for the Madison triplet,
- 45:51the position of the hay bales changed
- 45:52three times.
- 45:54And I had to lug the hay bales.
- 45:56So I personally know.
- 45:59the times it moved and i was ready
- 46:00to quit volunteering that night because
- 46:03that was the hardest i've ever worked in
- 46:05my life um but that's what i know
- 46:12from personal experience and maybe they're
- 46:14more dialed in now than they were back
- 46:16then because seventeen was the first time
- 46:18they were in madison so it was a
- 46:21whole new venue they probably didn't get
- 46:25they built the
- 46:27that north park that week so they didn't
- 46:30get a lot of time out there testing
- 46:32on it
- 46:34think the fact that they were able to
- 46:35go to san jose at the sap center
- 46:37multiple times probably helped a lot as
- 46:40well just to kind of dial in some
- 46:42some things because i don't think i don't
- 46:44know that in the past they went to
- 46:46the venue and could really test much at
- 46:49the venue um so i'm assuming most of
- 46:53it's probably done they're probably doing
- 46:54some team like i think the demo team
- 46:56right now is most likely doing a lot
- 46:58of team testing um and maybe
- 47:03Some few little individual stuff.
- 47:07I did see in the behind the scenes,
- 47:10the one that came out today,
- 47:12they went to the SAP center,
- 47:14they quadruple checked the weights,
- 47:17the bars, all that stuff,
- 47:18and forgot to take chalk to do their
- 47:24testing.
- 47:24So, Avera, no,
- 47:28Masters is not at the SAP.
- 47:29They're at the convention center down the
- 47:31street.
- 47:32i think it's the san jose convention
- 47:34center i think is what it's called have
- 47:36they announced where the run is it just
- 47:40says like i was trying to look on
- 47:42um my information i don't know if a
- 47:44master is in the comments or not but
- 47:47our masters athlete but it said i think
- 47:49it's a green park arena do you know
- 47:52if that's attached or is it a part
- 47:54of the convention center
- 47:56I'll be honest,
- 47:57because I'm not going to be there Tuesday,
- 47:58I didn't pay a whole lot of attention
- 48:00to it because I didn't,
- 48:02I wasn't going to have to be there.
- 48:06Fair enough.
- 48:06I mean,
- 48:06I'm assuming we'll get it tomorrow at the
- 48:07briefing anyways.
- 48:08Averitt, she has that,
- 48:16what we are now calling the slippery ball
- 48:18run,
- 48:21which is the med ball run with the
- 48:22non-med ball run and the med ball run
- 48:25again and
- 48:29This run.
- 48:30Yeah.
- 48:34The need a chiropractor that night run.
- 48:38I could only practice with a twenty five
- 48:40pound,
- 48:40so I'm just I'm hoping that the thirty
- 48:41just feels about the same as a twenty
- 48:43five.
- 48:44Both gyms that I was at twenty five
- 48:46was the most that they had for the
- 48:47wall ball.
- 48:47So I think that should be gave me
- 48:49a good idea of what it would be.
- 48:53That damn thing is so big.
- 48:56CrossFit wants to know your favorite
- 48:57shark.
- 48:59Pavelski?
- 49:02No, I like... Pavelski is good.
- 49:08He went to Wisconsin, so I'll say him.
- 49:09There you go.
- 49:12I got to train with him and do
- 49:13some stadium stairs.
- 49:14I'll go with him.
- 49:19So then predictions.
- 49:20Do you have any predictions for the open
- 49:22division athletes?
- 49:25It is so hard.
- 49:27I can't imagine being in a women's
- 49:28field...
- 49:30like those girls now,
- 49:32especially those top girls,
- 49:33like when you went to the games every
- 49:35other year,
- 49:36like you knew you were going for second
- 49:38or below, you know,
- 49:39whether Tia was in a field or Laura,
- 49:42like it's wide open this year.
- 49:44It's completely wide open.
- 49:47I changed my picks like five times today.
- 49:50I know it's hard.
- 49:51I mean, I love someone like Lucy Campbell.
- 49:54I like Emma Lawson's well-roundedness just
- 49:58overall.
- 50:00I think Kazan could be in the mix.
- 50:02I think Danielle's in the mix always.
- 50:09Who am I missing right now?
- 50:10So here's my top three.
- 50:12Just is Kazan.
- 50:14It's hard to, yeah.
- 50:21Mine is Kazan one, Rogers two,
- 50:24Campbell three.
- 50:28But I've had Emma Lawson in the top
- 50:31three, too.
- 50:33So like Emma right now is not someone
- 50:37that I'm kind of picking on any of
- 50:39the events to like win,
- 50:41but she's just not doesn't have many
- 50:43holes.
- 50:44Like even on the total,
- 50:46I don't see her being that far back.
- 50:49Like she's not taking a huge hit.
- 50:52on the strength like i mean i think
- 50:53her olympic lifting strength is stronger
- 50:55than her raw strength but i still think
- 50:57she's strong enough to do damage there um
- 51:03yeah i think those five that i named
- 51:05i think are going to be in the
- 51:06mix uh on the men's side i have
- 51:11sprague one adler two gerard three those
- 51:16are the three that come up in my
- 51:18head too those three
- 51:21With Tony events,
- 51:22I think you have to look at the
- 51:23most well-rounded.
- 51:24Jason just there as well.
- 51:27There's so many good on both sides.
- 51:31It is anybody's game.
- 51:37Yeah.
- 51:41John Young,
- 51:42y'all go over the last one announced.
- 51:44Yes, we did.
- 51:46And Becca Voigt clarified some details on
- 51:48us because it actually was announced while
- 51:51we were live.
- 51:55And it is my favorite as well of
- 51:57the Masters events.
- 52:02Has anyone heard confirmation on which
- 52:03events on Wednesday are open to RX Plus
- 52:05ticket holders?
- 52:07It is my understanding, Wade,
- 52:08that Wayne is anything at Morgan Hill is
- 52:12what is open to RX Plus.
- 52:15the ranch is off limits for tier one
- 52:20media and RX plus that is just the
- 52:24athletes.
- 52:31Ken Walters says everything but ranch
- 52:34event and swimming will be cut off.
- 52:40Uh,
- 52:44Carolyn,
- 52:45if you had to partition the following
- 52:48however you want,
- 52:49how would you approach it?
- 52:50Thirty-minute cap, a hundred bench press,
- 52:53one thirty-five, ninety-five,
- 52:55row two hundred, one fifty,
- 52:58row cow two hundred,
- 53:00and three hundred double unders.
- 53:04Maybe you start I mean,
- 53:08you basically go back and forth between
- 53:10the bench anytime that you need.
- 53:12Anytime that you feel like your arms are
- 53:13about to
- 53:15give out a little bit, you know,
- 53:16you do a little set of, you know,
- 53:18thirty to fifty double unders,
- 53:20go back to the bench.
- 53:21Ideally,
- 53:22you end on the road and you just
- 53:25save on the transitions there.
- 53:26If you want to start on the road
- 53:27by in a little bit with some intensity,
- 53:29then go back and forth between the double
- 53:31unders and the bench until you're done,
- 53:33your bench and your dogs,
- 53:35you can just kind of finish.
- 53:36I say that as a person and then
- 53:39and then you finish on the road so
- 53:41that you finish hard on the road.
- 53:43No matter what you finish on the road.
- 53:46i wouldn't do like ten rounds that's too
- 53:48many transitions um yeah that's how i do
- 53:55it uh i feel like raptus is about
- 53:56to surprise the world uh i just don't
- 53:59see it i think she'll be okay but
- 54:05i don't i think someone like miriam could
- 54:08do very well and we no one's kind
- 54:10of talking about her um yeah miriam's
- 54:13gonna be up there i think again this
- 54:15year
- 54:16think a big wild card is danielle and
- 54:19you mentioned her i because she could
- 54:23she's good she's just good at everything
- 54:26but then i keep seeing the syndicate in
- 54:28my head where she kept overheating and
- 54:29like i don't know i don't everything keeps
- 54:35going back and forth in my head she's
- 54:37just got to survive the total do what
- 54:40she needs to do there
- 54:42take an L on the hundred and fifty
- 54:43points and then do well on everything
- 54:46else.
- 54:47Yeah.
- 54:51CrossFed says the lettuce parasite is
- 54:53hunting Raptus like a predator.
- 54:57She catches everything.
- 55:02Yeah,
- 55:02Raptus like looked good at Syndicate like
- 55:04you know towards the back end like once
- 55:05she got like basically got done with day
- 55:08one.
- 55:10which affected her.
- 55:11I mean, yeah, she's there.
- 55:13This is the deepest field, I think.
- 55:17Oh, your mic went out, Carolyn.
- 55:26You're still, it's all static.
- 55:27Can you hear me now?
- 55:32Yep.
- 55:32This is the deepest field that we've seen
- 55:34on both sides.
- 55:35So like, honestly, I feel like
- 55:40Anyone can do so well.
- 55:41Like everyone has their strengths and
- 55:43weaknesses and can, I feel like,
- 55:45basically win workouts.
- 55:47I'm excited to see them go after it.
- 55:50Like it's a strong field on both.
- 55:56Your mic keeps,
- 55:57I think your headphone wire has like a
- 55:59tiny short in it.
- 56:04And now you're muted.
- 56:05But I'm going to address this.
- 56:08If no vendor offers a veggie Raptus wrap,
- 56:10they're missing a golden opportunity.
- 56:12CrossFit says Raptus should only eat
- 56:14steamed veggies.
- 56:19And Kipping says someone tell her not to
- 56:21eat any salad.
- 56:22That poor girl.
- 56:29Yeah.
- 56:33Since it's the day of beefs,
- 56:35I did find out today that Lauren Khalil
- 56:38is hosting the press conferences.
- 56:41So my chance of getting any questions
- 56:44asked of the athletes is probably nil and
- 56:46next to none.
- 56:47But I'm still going to do whatever.
- 56:53I don't even know what I'm doing this
- 56:54year.
- 56:54I'm just going to have fun.
- 56:56And I don't even know what I'm allowed
- 56:59to do or...
- 57:03I don't know.
- 57:04We'll see.
- 57:06I think you'll be fine.
- 57:08If you lift your hand,
- 57:09you don't just ignore someone.
- 57:14We actually talked after the beef,
- 57:16but I just don't know where we stand
- 57:18totally at this point.
- 57:24No more questions.
- 57:28Thanks.
- 57:32Anyway.
- 57:35It's going to be a short show tonight.
- 57:36Jamie's heading for a plane.
- 57:39Carolyn's driving out tomorrow.
- 57:42I'm flying out Wednesday.
- 57:44Really bummed I missed the first half of
- 57:46the Masters competition.
- 57:50But I'll be at the Masters on Wednesday
- 57:52and Thursday.
- 57:53If you are a Masters athlete,
- 57:55I just want to chat with you,
- 57:57get some interviews, get some content.
- 57:59Come find me.
- 58:01I'll be around.
- 58:03I do have media credentials for Masters,
- 58:05so I'm allowed in the ring around the
- 58:08floor this time,
- 58:10which is better than I had last year.
- 58:13So hopefully we'll get some good shots and
- 58:17I can talk to some Masters athletes.
- 58:19And then we'll do whatever we can in
- 58:23the Open Division.
- 58:28Um, good luck girls from Lana,
- 58:31the rock star.
- 58:32Thank you.
- 58:40Um, uh, Carolyn,
- 58:44will you and Jamie be coming on Clydesdale
- 58:47between events?
- 58:49I haven't really talked to them cause I'm
- 58:50getting there halfway through their event,
- 58:54but you,
- 58:55are you still staying for the whole
- 58:56weekend, Carolyn?
- 58:58Yeah,
- 58:58so I'm going to obviously compete until
- 59:02Thursday,
- 59:03and then I'll stay with some friends from
- 59:06the CrossFit Sublime that I train at here
- 59:08for the rest of the weekend and watch
- 59:10the individuals and teams both.
- 59:11So I'm there all weekend until Sunday.
- 59:13So maybe we can hook up live and
- 59:15do a couple live short shows.
- 59:19Yeah, I could do that.
- 59:20During the event.
- 59:21Yep.
- 59:23So we'll do that.
- 59:24I'll hook up with Carolyn after she's done
- 59:26competing.
- 59:27And we'll get some stuff set up.
- 59:29I think Jamie's staying the whole weekend
- 59:30too.
- 59:31So we might be able to rotate through
- 59:33some stuff over the weekend and just do
- 59:36a few live shows live from San Jose.
- 59:39Somewhere in San Jose.
- 59:41Not guaranteed where.
- 59:44I was going to say from a suite
- 59:46just as a joke,
- 59:46but then it's probably too soon.
- 59:48I was just about to say.
- 59:50Everyone's welcome.
- 59:51Live on the podcast.
- 59:58It's really going to be at the Travel
- 59:59Lodge down on Fourth and Vine.
- 1:00:06All right, guys.
- 1:00:08Hope you just got a killer deal on
- 1:00:12sweet seeds.
- 1:00:18Nicole, that is right.
- 1:00:19She is staying to help Coach Declan,
- 1:00:21but I'm sure we can lure her over
- 1:00:23for a show or two.
- 1:00:25So with that,
- 1:00:26I hope you guys have a great rest
- 1:00:28of your night.
- 1:00:29Tomorrow's lunch with the Clydesdale is
- 1:00:30going to be at a weird time.
