Thursday Night CrossFit Talk - 24.3 is Here! What are our Thoughts! · Clydesdale Media Podcast

• 0:28
  What is going on, everybody?
• 0:30
  Welcome to the Clydesdale
• 0:32
  Media Thursday Night CrossFit Talk.
• 0:34
  Almost said the wrong show
• 0:36
  title because it's late in the week.
• 0:38
  I worked out today.
• 0:40
  Messed with me.
• 0:41
  Woo!
• 0:42
  So yeah,
• 0:43
  we got Carolyn Prevost live from
• 0:45
  California.
• 0:46
  We've got Jamie Latimer,
• 0:49
  hopefully north of the storms.
• 0:51
  And I am right in Tornado Alley right now.
• 0:55
  So if my wife shows up in the background,
• 0:58
  it's because she had to run
• 1:00
  to the basement.
• 1:00
  But we are in the middle of
• 1:02
  tornado watches and
• 1:03
  warnings all over the state.
• 1:06
  And there's been a sighting west of here.
• 1:08
  Oh, no.
• 1:09
  Oh, no.
• 1:11
  So hopefully we can get
• 1:11
  through the night without too much drama.
• 1:16
  And cool thing that happened
• 1:17
  to me this week is I have
• 1:19
  new internet provider.
• 1:20
  That's what I was going to say.
• 1:22
  I am now on the AT&T fiber optic lines.
• 1:28
  I have my own dedicated
• 1:29
  fiber optic cable and so far so good.
• 1:33
  The speeds are recording
• 1:34
  twice as fast as I had with
• 1:36
  my previous internet service provider.
• 1:39
  And I have not lagged on any
• 1:40
  of the shows this week.
• 1:43
  So that's awesome.
• 1:46
  Yeah.
• 1:47
  Awesome stuff.
• 1:50
  Need to get them to sponsor us.
• 1:54
  Yeah.
• 1:57
  So how,
• 1:57
  how has everybody else's week gone?
• 2:02
  Good.
• 2:03
  I finally caught up on a
• 2:04
  little bit of sleep, but I don't know.
• 2:06
  Still just busy.
• 2:07
  Just trying to survive one
• 2:09
  more week of the open.
• 2:14
  Carolyn, you traveled?
• 2:16
  Oh, no.
• 2:16
  Did she freeze?
• 2:18
  Maybe.
• 2:20
  I just bragged about her internet.
• 2:22
  Carolyn freezes.
• 2:28
  Is mine good now?
• 2:29
  Yeah.
• 2:30
  So how was your week
• 2:32
  traveling to California?
• 2:33
  You can go first, Jamie.
• 2:35
  I did.
• 2:37
  Yeah.
• 2:40
  Yeah, Jamie already went.
• 2:43
  I have a doodle that's
• 2:44
  looking at my steak right now.
• 2:47
  Oh, steak sounds wonderful.
• 2:54
  So like how much
• 2:58
  I know that your schedule
• 2:59
  gets really out of whack going west.
• 3:03
  How much does it help that
• 3:05
  you're a couple hours ahead
• 3:07
  normally and then Lex wants
• 3:10
  to get you up at 4 a.m.
• 3:11
  to work out?
• 3:13
  Well,
• 3:14
  I haven't switched my schedule at all
• 3:17
  because we go to bed very
• 3:19
  early around like between 7 and 8.
• 3:22
  We're already in bed.
• 3:24
  And then I get to sleep in until...
• 3:28
  410.
• 3:28
  She gets up around like 345, 350 maybe,
• 3:33
  and then prepares the
• 3:35
  breakfast and gets ready for the day.
• 3:39
  But I get my extra 20 minutes sleep,
• 3:41
  but it's like 710 for me.
• 3:43
  So I just, I'm on my regular routine,
• 3:46
  which is like a nine or 10
• 3:47
  o'clock sleep and a six or
• 3:50
  seven o'clock wake up.
• 3:51
  So really I just feel no jet
• 3:53
  lag because I just go right
• 3:55
  into her routine and it's
• 3:57
  mixes in with what I already
• 3:59
  do back home does that help
• 4:02
  going back because I've
• 4:04
  never had a problem going
• 4:06
  west but coming east is
• 4:09
  where I feel it yeah I mean
• 4:12
  it's I just go back to the
• 4:14
  same routine and I guess
• 4:15
  like I'm not sleeping in
• 4:17
  until well for her family
• 4:19
  it's sleeping in if I can
• 4:21
  sleep until six o'clock
• 4:23
  they are all they're all early risers um
• 4:26
  But I get back to my own
• 4:28
  routine pretty easy just
• 4:30
  because I never fell off of
• 4:32
  my regular routine.
• 4:34
  So the comeback is actually
• 4:35
  much easier than I would say most people.
• 4:39
  Yeah.
• 4:40
  Yeah, I need to.
• 4:41
  Yeah.
• 4:42
  I try to stay on the
• 4:43
  schedule when I go west.
• 4:44
  It never happens because
• 4:45
  usually I'm at a CrossFit
• 4:46
  event and they run late.
• 4:48
  And so then I end up like
• 4:50
  not eating until 10 o'clock
• 4:51
  at night and figuring all that stuff out.
• 4:54
  But.
• 4:55
  Yeah.
• 4:57
  But it's been a good week overall for me.
• 4:59
  Again, the internet.
• 5:02
  With that,
• 5:03
  we had to get new phones because
• 5:04
  we switched cell service to
• 5:05
  to get the deal.
• 5:06
  And none of that is linked to anything.
• 5:09
  My watch data is not on my phone.
• 5:11
  I can't figure out how to re link it.
• 5:14
  All that stuff when you get a new phone.
• 5:17
  but um I have a doctor's
• 5:19
  appointment tomorrow I went
• 5:21
  and worked out today with
• 5:22
  our listener judy reed um
• 5:24
  it was fun hanging out with
• 5:25
  her for the hour um she did
• 5:28
  awesome and uh yeah really
• 5:32
  fun today get getting back
• 5:34
  to the gym and it was a
• 5:36
  tough workout uh 40 minutes long
• 5:41
  Not what I was ideally expecting.
• 5:43
  But what's funny is I
• 5:45
  reported to Cheryl and she said,
• 5:48
  you probably only did like four rounds,
• 5:49
  right?
• 5:50
  And I said, no, I did all eight.
• 5:52
  And she said, well,
• 5:53
  I would have scaled you back to four.
• 5:55
  And I said, nope, did all eight.
• 5:58
  So there it is.
• 6:00
  That's awesome.
• 6:01
  Good for you.
• 6:03
  I was super pumped when I
• 6:04
  saw you post your picture.
• 6:05
  Lex and I were together and we're like,
• 6:07
  yes, you went there.
• 6:09
  I did.
• 6:11
  There was enough peer
• 6:11
  pressure in the weight loss
• 6:13
  show to get me there.
• 6:17
  But it was cool going with Judy, too,
• 6:18
  because it was an experience she wanted.
• 6:21
  Christy is her hero in the CrossFit world.
• 6:25
  Regretfully, Christy wasn't there,
• 6:26
  probably prepping for open stuff.
• 6:31
  but we've already made arrangements.
• 6:33
  We're going to do it again
• 6:33
  in a couple of weeks.
• 6:35
  So we'll get her,
• 6:36
  we'll get her to meet
• 6:37
  Christie in the next couple
• 6:38
  of weeks or so.
• 6:40
  Awesome.
• 6:42
  Um, one thing, uh, I have to pump this up.
• 6:45
  Kenneth says yesterday's interview,
• 6:46
  chef's kiss.
• 6:48
  Uh,
• 6:48
  I always have a blast with Jared Smith.
• 6:51
  If you don't know that dude
• 6:53
  is one of the most
• 6:54
  underrated coaches in the business.
• 6:56
  He took two athletes to the
• 6:58
  games last year and also
• 7:00
  coach Sydney McElishan,
• 7:01
  who is just outside of
• 7:03
  making it to the games and
• 7:04
  has made it to the games twice before.
• 7:07
  Um,
• 7:08
  it was a great interview he
• 7:10
  is just so easy to talk to
• 7:12
  um just I feel like uh he's
• 7:16
  just the kind of guy I want
• 7:17
  to go kind of hang out have
• 7:19
  a beer or a cup of coffee
• 7:20
  with and just chat with all
• 7:22
  the time um but yeah if you
• 7:25
  didn't catch it yesterday
• 7:26
  really really fun interview
• 7:29
  and we talk about cory
• 7:30
  leonard and his potential
• 7:32
  to make the games at the
• 7:32
  age of 50. so check that out too
• 7:37
  Corey's excited for this one.
• 7:39
  I think he'll do good at it.
• 7:40
  It's a good workout for him.
• 7:43
  Yeah, I can see that.
• 7:47
  So with that,
• 7:49
  I guess we'll get into... I
• 8:00
  didn't say Jodi, did I?
• 8:04
  I don't think so.
• 8:05
  I said Judy.
• 8:06
  I think you said Judy.
• 8:11
  Okay.
• 8:13
  All right, cool.
• 8:18
  So just real quick,
• 8:20
  I did find two new shows this week.
• 8:22
  If you have not seen One Mississippi,
• 8:26
  I'm almost through the
• 8:27
  first season of that.
• 8:28
  It's a very interesting take.
• 8:31
  It's kind of a dark comedy.
• 8:35
  Really good.
• 8:36
  With Tig Torrenson...
• 8:41
  I don't know her last name.
• 8:43
  She's really funny.
• 8:44
  She's in a lot of things.
• 8:46
  It's really good.
• 8:47
  And then my wife started
• 8:49
  watching and sucked me in
• 8:50
  on... It's a flight show.
• 8:56
  World War II.
• 8:58
  The main character is the
• 9:00
  guy who played Elvis.
• 9:02
  Okay.
• 9:05
  And it's about how...
• 9:08
  crazy it was for the pilots
• 9:10
  and their crews during
• 9:12
  world war ii being bomber
• 9:13
  pilots without a lot of um
• 9:17
  with not a lot of a lot of
• 9:19
  cover um and that it's
• 9:23
  really good it's it's a
• 9:24
  period piece it's a lot
• 9:26
  more drama um but it did
• 9:28
  pull me in uh a little bit
• 9:30
  with that one so and
• 9:33
  kenneth says yeah that's
• 9:35
  same people did banner
• 9:36
  brothers back in the day
• 9:37
  But it was really good.
• 9:38
  And Corey, help me out.
• 9:40
  Tig Notoro.
• 9:41
  I have not heard of that person.
• 9:45
  She is hilarious.
• 9:48
  But it's really,
• 9:49
  I think it is an
• 9:51
  autobiographical account of
• 9:54
  when her mother died and
• 9:55
  she was going through
• 9:57
  breast cancer and a double
• 9:59
  mastectomy at the same time
• 10:01
  like all of that hit her at
• 10:03
  one time and how she kind
• 10:05
  of dealt with it and the
• 10:06
  quirkiness of her family um
• 10:10
  through that so it's kind
• 10:11
  of a dark comedy um there's
• 10:13
  some funny parts there's
• 10:14
  some um stuff but it's it's
• 10:17
  really good and wad zombie
• 10:20
  help me out it is masters
• 10:21
  of the air that is the show
• 10:23
  it's on apple tv um and it's good
• 10:28
  So now we've got any other
• 10:30
  TV stuff from any sports going on,
• 10:32
  Carolyn?
• 10:37
  I watched a couple of PWHL
• 10:39
  games again for hockey, of course,
• 10:42
  supporting my friends.
• 10:45
  We watched, yeah,
• 10:47
  last weekend there was the
• 10:48
  Big Ten Championship, the SEC,
• 10:50
  a lot of the women's
• 10:51
  college basketball final
• 10:52
  conference events.
• 10:54
  tournaments so um some
• 10:56
  exciting games there that
• 11:01
  what's that what happened
• 11:02
  at the end of the sec
• 11:03
  championship game with the
• 11:07
  lsu one yeah competitiveness it happens
• 11:18
  You watching anything new, Jamie,
• 11:20
  or are you just resting?
• 11:21
  I'm still on The Tourist.
• 11:25
  Okay.
• 11:25
  I think I got one episode left.
• 11:28
  Check out Shogun on FX.
• 11:31
  I actually saw the original
• 11:32
  Shogun with Richard
• 11:34
  Chamberlain way back in the day.
• 11:40
  And Wadzombie comes in with Brothers.
• 11:42
  The Brother's Son on Netflix is great.
• 11:47
  So a couple suggestions for
• 11:49
  reviewing pleasure.
• 11:52
  And now we got to get to all
• 11:54
  the news that is CrossFit.
• 11:56
  And man,
• 11:59
  I love to bring positive spins to things,
• 12:01
  but it's going to be tough
• 12:01
  for a little bit here
• 12:03
  because we're going to have
• 12:04
  to be critical.
• 12:06
  We're going to start by closing out 24.2.
• 12:07
  And we have to start with
• 12:12
  the final judgment on
• 12:14
  scoring that crossfit made
• 12:17
  that I'm calling the
• 12:17
  scoring debacle okay on the
• 12:22
  men's side it was announced
• 12:26
  that tudor magda received a
• 12:27
  major penalty of 20 percent
• 12:28
  um 20 on his score for 24.2
• 12:30
  taking him out of the lead
• 12:39
  Um,
• 12:39
  and giving Heinrich hyperline and the
• 12:41
  overall victory for 24.2
• 12:43
  mm-hmm to the best of my recollection,
• 12:47
  no other person received a
• 12:49
  penalty on 24.2.
• 12:50
  Well, Heinrich got one,
• 12:55
  one missed double under, right?
• 12:57
  That's correct.
• 13:00
  But it is quite clear
• 13:02
  through all the videos out
• 13:03
  there that tutor was not
• 13:05
  the only person missing hip
• 13:06
  extension on the deadlifts.
• 13:10
  agreed for him to be singled
• 13:13
  out for this seems to me to
• 13:17
  be a crime I could not
• 13:20
  agree more um I have not
• 13:22
  seen his video so I don't
• 13:24
  want to get too emphatic
• 13:25
  about it but I've seen a
• 13:27
  lot of videos and I've been
• 13:29
  a judge in this world and
• 13:32
  many of those deadlifts
• 13:33
  would not count right that's true
• 13:42
  But if his aren't going to count,
• 13:43
  neither should everyone else's.
• 13:45
  Correct.
• 13:47
  Right.
• 13:47
  Correct.
• 13:51
  He was made out to be the sacrificial lamb,
• 13:52
  according to Kenneth.
• 13:56
  I know life is not fair.
• 13:59
  That is not fair.
• 14:03
  Whatever happened there,
• 14:04
  I don't even understand the
• 14:05
  reasoning behind it,
• 14:07
  why you would pick one
• 14:07
  person to do that to and not everybody.
• 14:14
  It's just so interesting
• 14:15
  that he could not submit a
• 14:18
  video and would still be
• 14:20
  within the top 10, wherever he was,
• 14:22
  maybe top six or something.
• 14:25
  And because he submitted,
• 14:26
  he got penalized.
• 14:27
  It's crazy.
• 14:33
  And that takes us to the
• 14:34
  other half of the debacle.
• 14:36
  The winner of the women's
• 14:39
  side of 24.2 was Emily Claw.
• 14:43
  Emily Claw did not submit a
• 14:45
  video when asked by CrossFit.
• 14:50
  The story is,
• 14:51
  and I don't have confirmation on this,
• 14:53
  it's just being reported by Hiller,
• 14:57
  that she redid it on Monday
• 14:59
  and finished a round short
• 15:02
  of what her posted score was.
• 15:06
  She does not have a video,
• 15:09
  but CrossFit made the
• 15:10
  decision that because she
• 15:11
  did an affiliate with a certified judge,
• 15:14
  her score counts,
• 15:16
  but she is not eligible for
• 15:17
  the prize money for winning
• 15:20
  this phase of the Open.
• 15:25
  I will let you guys react first,
• 15:28
  and then I will say what I want to say.
• 15:34
  This is a problem with
• 15:35
  affiliates in general.
• 15:37
  Like we're putting a lot of
• 15:38
  the blame obviously like on Emily,
• 15:40
  but affiliate owners
• 15:42
  validate videos or valid
• 15:44
  validate scores all the
• 15:46
  time that are scaled and they,
• 15:48
  they like they're written
• 15:50
  as RX and they're scaled
• 15:51
  and they mess up the leaderboard.
• 15:54
  Um,
• 15:54
  I just think a lot of affiliate owners
• 15:55
  just go except, except,
• 15:57
  except out of all the
• 15:58
  scores that they have from
• 15:59
  their gyms and never
• 16:00
  actually take the time to
• 16:02
  look through like I know my
• 16:04
  affiliate owner he's always
• 16:05
  going through every single
• 16:06
  one of them and making sure
• 16:08
  that the judges line up and
• 16:10
  everything um yeah so I
• 16:13
  think that that's the
• 16:14
  number one issue number two
• 16:15
  I think there was probably
• 16:16
  just a miscount for sure in
• 16:18
  the round just judging by a
• 16:19
  full round um I think
• 16:22
  crossfit should give 24
• 16:23
  hours for to the athlete to
• 16:25
  provide a video if they can't
• 16:28
  then it's then they can
• 16:30
  technically redo the
• 16:31
  workout in that time.
• 16:32
  And then whatever they are able to provide,
• 16:35
  that's the score they're given.
• 16:36
  Like it doesn't need to be
• 16:37
  invalidated where she's off
• 16:39
  the leaderboard,
• 16:40
  but whatever score she was
• 16:41
  able to provide, let's say on the Monday,
• 16:44
  that's, that's what you get.
• 16:45
  Like it's, it's you forgot to video it.
• 16:49
  So you don't have that score.
• 16:52
  Yeah.
• 16:54
  I could not agree more.
• 16:55
  Like,
• 16:56
  I mean,
• 16:57
  I would think both you and I would
• 16:58
  say like we could go within
• 17:01
  24 hours and go repeat what
• 17:02
  we just did and get within
• 17:03
  20 reps of what we just did.
• 17:05
  Like it would not,
• 17:06
  you would not be a full round off.
• 17:08
  If you have the capacity to do it,
• 17:09
  you have the capacity to do it again.
• 17:12
  There's a difference between like,
• 17:14
  let's say,
• 17:15
  let's say you get done the row
• 17:17
  and then you like some reps
• 17:18
  are much faster than others.
• 17:19
  Right.
• 17:19
  So if you've got a bunch of more reps,
• 17:22
  it could be like double under reps,
• 17:23
  but a full round is,
• 17:27
  that's, that's a lot.
• 17:30
  It's two minutes about, I mean,
• 17:32
  about two minutes.
• 17:33
  Yeah.
• 17:33
  Yeah.
• 17:35
  Yeah.
• 17:35
  You're not losing that kind of time.
• 17:36
  I mean, it's crazy.
• 17:39
  I, and I don't know what the sources,
• 17:43
  I mean, I've said in the past,
• 17:44
  I think if you're going to
• 17:46
  like make some people video,
• 17:47
  I think everyone should
• 17:48
  video and it should just be
• 17:48
  the open source judging.
• 17:50
  It should just all
• 17:51
  everyone's video should be
• 17:52
  live on the leaderboard.
• 17:53
  Um,
• 17:58
  What she did on her repeat
• 18:02
  should have been what she
• 18:03
  entered so that the second
• 18:05
  place person gets the money.
• 18:09
  Or the second place person
• 18:10
  should have got the money.
• 18:11
  I don't know.
• 18:11
  If you don't want to take
• 18:12
  her off the leaderboard,
• 18:15
  the first person to be able
• 18:16
  to provide a winning score
• 18:17
  video should get the money.
• 18:20
  Absolutely.
• 18:20
  I'm surprised that the
• 18:22
  second place athlete
• 18:25
  I'm surprised that the
• 18:26
  second place athlete didn't
• 18:27
  receive the money.
• 18:28
  Like I would,
• 18:29
  it would have been who like
• 18:30
  the first person that
• 18:31
  provides the video that has
• 18:33
  legitimate scores.
• 18:35
  That's who gets the money.
• 18:37
  Yeah.
• 18:39
  Corey says I did it on
• 18:40
  Saturday and again on
• 18:41
  Sunday and got 60 more prep reps.
• 18:44
  So I,
• 18:45
  I don't know anybody that redid that
• 18:47
  workout that didn't improve.
• 18:48
  So the fact that she did it
• 18:51
  rested and did a full round worse is
• 18:54
  is very fishy.
• 18:56
  Well, I say that,
• 18:57
  but Jim didn't improve
• 18:58
  because of his dubs, but like,
• 18:59
  he was very, very close.
• 19:00
  And I mean,
• 19:03
  unless like something like that
• 19:05
  is happening,
• 19:05
  like where somebody doesn't
• 19:06
  have dubs and didn't have a nine,
• 19:08
  10 round score in the first place,
• 19:10
  it's just a dub workout and
• 19:12
  you have them or you don't that day,
• 19:13
  but everyone that has dubs
• 19:15
  improved on this workout.
• 19:17
  Like you,
• 19:18
  you figured out how to pace and
• 19:19
  where to push and you did better.
• 19:21
  You don't do a round worse.
• 19:23
  That does not make sense.
• 19:27
  So I made a public statement
• 19:29
  on Hiller's post that said,
• 19:31
  this is setting a precedent
• 19:33
  where if I am a regionals athlete,
• 19:36
  I just won't video myself.
• 19:38
  Hell, take the whole open off.
• 19:41
  Get somebody to validate my score.
• 19:42
  And as long as I don't win,
• 19:45
  nobody will know the wiser.
• 19:49
  And it makes me believe
• 19:51
  that's already happening.
• 19:55
  And as much as you want to
• 19:57
  think the good in every person,
• 19:59
  there are so many people
• 20:00
  out there trying to game the system.
• 20:02
  You know people are doing that.
• 20:04
  I think that's been happening for years,
• 20:06
  Scott.
• 20:07
  As soon as it was 10% moving
• 20:09
  on to the next round,
• 20:10
  they're not looking at the
• 20:11
  videos at the 10 percentile.
• 20:13
  As long as you post a score
• 20:15
  of something that you feel
• 20:17
  like will be within the 10%
• 20:20
  and you post at your affiliate,
• 20:22
  they validate.
• 20:23
  I feel like that's been
• 20:24
  going on for years where
• 20:24
  people can skip the open
• 20:25
  and then just go to the next stage.
• 20:29
  It just became obvious to me, I guess.
• 20:33
  Because of the way the decision went,
• 20:36
  they did ask for a video.
• 20:39
  She couldn't supply the video.
• 20:42
  It's one thing for them never to ask.
• 20:44
  I get that.
• 20:46
  They don't have the
• 20:47
  bandwidth to ask for everybody's video.
• 20:50
  But in this case,
• 20:51
  they asked for it and she didn't have it.
• 20:54
  Like, that's so sus to begin with.
• 21:01
  And then she redoes it and
• 21:03
  can't even come close to the score again.
• 21:05
  And they let it stand anyway.
• 21:13
  It is a travesty for Hannah Carlson,
• 21:17
  who could have walked away
• 21:18
  with a couple grand and
• 21:21
  didn't because someone...
• 21:24
  was playing with the rules.
• 21:31
  And what I think CrossFit's
• 21:35
  viewpoint on these things
• 21:36
  are is they look at the
• 21:37
  individual involved and not
• 21:39
  the other people it always affects.
• 21:43
  Yes.
• 21:46
  And so that's what pisses me off.
• 21:49
  Yeah.
• 21:50
  I guess,
• 21:51
  I guess my question is how does the,
• 21:53
  I know you have this coming up the first,
• 21:56
  first, second, third, fourth,
• 21:57
  fifth in the open at the
• 21:59
  end of the three weeks, get money.
• 22:01
  So if Tudor would have said,
• 22:02
  also said he didn't have a
• 22:04
  video and he would have
• 22:05
  stayed at 1000 reps and say
• 22:07
  he finishes fifth after 0.3,
• 22:12
  how does that work?
• 22:16
  Do the top five at the end
• 22:18
  of point three need to show
• 22:21
  all three videos to make
• 22:23
  sure that they really
• 22:25
  should be the top five overall?
• 22:27
  I'm very curious on that.
• 22:29
  Because this is the most
• 22:31
  money that you can make in
• 22:33
  the CrossFit season until the games.
• 22:36
  Right.
• 22:37
  And this was later in the notes, but...
• 22:40
  The open has a prize purse.
• 22:42
  First place gets 15 grand.
• 22:44
  Second place, 10 grand.
• 22:46
  Third place, 7,500.
• 22:48
  Fourth place, six grand.
• 22:50
  Fifth place, five grand.
• 22:52
  Ariel said last night on Savan,
• 22:55
  she tries to win that money.
• 22:58
  That helps her family out.
• 23:01
  She bought a golf cart to
• 23:02
  get around and do some
• 23:04
  stuff at her house with the
• 23:05
  money that she won last year.
• 23:07
  And then it's her goal to do
• 23:09
  it again this year.
• 23:12
  yeah and I mean I kind of
• 23:13
  feel like that maybe was
• 23:14
  tutor's goal like he's
• 23:16
  clearly pushing hard um and
• 23:19
  so that was like just
• 23:20
  totally stripped from him
• 23:22
  and I'm curious if he would
• 23:23
  have said nope I don't have
• 23:23
  a video how that would have
• 23:26
  played out at the end of
• 23:28
  the open yeah like I know
• 23:33
  for me I look at it
• 23:35
  Once week one is there,
• 23:36
  if you have a good score on week one,
• 23:38
  you're like, all right,
• 23:38
  if other people aren't
• 23:39
  going to care about the open, I will.
• 23:41
  Like,
• 23:41
  it's like if week one doesn't go well
• 23:44
  and you're like, okay,
• 23:44
  I'm out of the running.
• 23:45
  Then it's like, you're,
• 23:47
  you're basically like,
• 23:48
  you're just doing the open.
• 23:50
  But if you have a good start to the open,
• 23:53
  it's like, okay, well, let's see where,
• 23:55
  where you can start pushing
• 23:57
  and maybe redoing.
• 23:58
  Yeah.
• 24:01
  Yeah.
• 24:02
  Cause even at semifinals,
• 24:03
  you only make 5,000.
• 24:07
  To win.
• 24:07
  I mean, this is triple that.
• 24:13
  You're on mute, Carolyn.
• 24:16
  Carolyn, you're on mute.
• 24:18
  Still on mute.
• 24:20
  Now you're good.
• 24:21
  And like all the way until
• 24:23
  1000 for fifth place.
• 24:25
  And then who knows,
• 24:26
  12th place might get maybe
• 24:27
  1000 or something.
• 24:30
  Or a free L1 or L2.
• 24:33
  I don't know if they even
• 24:33
  published what the prep
• 24:35
  payout was last year when
• 24:36
  they went to 12 people make
• 24:38
  it or 11 people make it.
• 24:43
  Yeah.
• 24:43
  I don't think, I don't,
• 24:45
  I didn't see any publication on that.
• 24:47
  I think it was still the five, four, three,
• 24:49
  two, one.
• 24:51
  And then you just get your
• 24:52
  spot to the games.
• 24:54
  That's what I thought too.
• 24:56
  Um,
• 24:57
  I just don't remember seeing it for
• 24:58
  some reason, but, um,
• 25:04
  So Carolyn, how did you do on the workout?
• 25:10
  I was very happy with it.
• 25:12
  I missed.
• 25:13
  So I did it the Saturday and
• 25:15
  then I redid it on the Monday.
• 25:18
  So the first time I think I
• 25:19
  missed my double unders three,
• 25:23
  three rounds, three or four rounds.
• 25:25
  I changed my setup.
• 25:28
  So I had the bar,
• 25:29
  like the triangle style first.
• 25:33
  And then I switched it
• 25:34
  because I was turning
• 25:36
  around to the barbell and
• 25:39
  then turning back around to
• 25:40
  my double under because I
• 25:42
  just wanted to face a wall
• 25:43
  that no one's in front of.
• 25:45
  I can focus on my double unders.
• 25:48
  And I was taking about four steps.
• 25:50
  Uh-oh.
• 25:59
  Can you hear me?
• 26:00
  Yeah, I can now.
• 26:06
  Is it Scott that's losing?
• 26:07
  It's you.
• 26:12
  We have you now.
• 26:16
  It was like four steps to my
• 26:17
  skipping rope.
• 26:18
  Then I ended up moving the
• 26:20
  barbell more to the outside
• 26:23
  and then skipping in the middle.
• 26:25
  I didn't want to do that at
• 26:26
  first because I felt
• 26:27
  claustrophobic with my skipping.
• 26:29
  I need normally a lot of space.
• 26:31
  That's not the technique I
• 26:33
  wanted to use at first.
• 26:34
  Then I started watching
• 26:35
  videos and I was like I
• 26:36
  think I can go faster
• 26:37
  because it was just like
• 26:38
  one step to my skipping
• 26:39
  rope so it was a better
• 26:41
  strategy I saved a lot of
• 26:42
  time strictly on the
• 26:44
  transition and then I
• 26:45
  missed two rounds I think
• 26:47
  on double unders instead of
• 26:48
  three um so the first time
• 26:51
  was 840 so finishing the
• 26:53
  row and then the other one
• 26:56
  I got back to the double
• 26:57
  unders and got like 1500
• 27:00
  I was happy with it.
• 27:01
  That's great.
• 27:01
  Yeah.
• 27:02
  I think it's the best
• 27:03
  execution of a double under
• 27:05
  workout I've had in many, many years.
• 27:08
  Like I don't remember the
• 27:09
  last time I did this many 50 unbroken.
• 27:12
  That's amazing.
• 27:13
  So I was like very, very happy with it.
• 27:16
  I did yesterday.
• 27:17
  Yesterday I had double
• 27:18
  unders and I couldn't do them.
• 27:21
  I did the exact same thing with setup,
• 27:23
  like triangle the first time and,
• 27:26
  and then the center rope in the center.
• 27:28
  And I liked that better too.
• 27:36
  So how did you do overall, Jamie?
• 27:39
  Me?
• 27:40
  I got first in my age group.
• 27:44
  Just first and no emotion.
• 27:50
  Yeah, that was great.
• 27:51
  Like I'm happy with that
• 27:52
  redo that execution.
• 27:54
  Like I feel like I pushed harder.
• 27:57
  It was just, yeah,
• 27:58
  it was a better workout for me.
• 28:02
  And you finished top 100 overall.
• 28:06
  Yeah, I guess.
• 28:07
  I didn't really pay attention to that.
• 28:09
  Well, I'm just saying.
• 28:12
  I'm just saying you did.
• 28:14
  Yeah.
• 28:14
  I think 97th, 96th,
• 28:16
  something like that in the
• 28:19
  world at 40 years old.
• 28:22
  Not too bad for an old lady.
• 28:24
  No, not bad at all.
• 28:28
  So I want to quickly go over
• 28:29
  some of Holly's stats.
• 28:32
  She puts all this work and I
• 28:33
  want to make sure we highlight her.
• 28:35
  And she comes up with some
• 28:36
  really cool stuff.
• 28:39
  So we will start with some master stuff.
• 28:45
  So here is the Masters Women top five.
• 28:51
  And the difference.
• 28:56
  Sure,
• 28:56
  I'm trying to blow it up a little bit.
• 29:00
  There we go.
• 29:03
  So here's women in 35 to 39.
• 29:07
  You can see it was somewhat tight,
• 29:11
  but we have Mel Haslam, Emily Lepinen.
• 29:17
  Mackenzie Riley, Jillian Cook,
• 29:20
  and Emily DeLay.
• 29:22
  We go to 40-44.
• 29:23
  There's our very own Jamie
• 29:24
  Latimer with the win.
• 29:27
  Elia Navarro in second.
• 29:29
  Andrea Pinheiro in third.
• 29:32

• 29:45
  Joanna Diener and Luton Kolb
• 29:48
  and then Sonia McMillan.
• 29:50

• 29:51
  There were a couple of ties
• 29:52
  in this division.
• 29:55
  Women 50 to 54, Lisa Olson,
• 29:58
  Stephanie China, Virginia Rushing,

• 30:53
  elite overall to finish up.
• 30:57

  Bill did that with the 185 bar, didn't he?
• 32:19
  Thought I heard him say he
• 32:20
  didn't want to use the... Yeah,
• 32:23
  he refuses to use,
• 32:25
  as he calls the old people,
• 32:26
  weights that he still
• 32:27
  can... He still wants to do
• 32:30
  the regular open weights, which is crazy.
• 32:33
  Yeah, to win with the heavier weight,
• 32:35
  that's cruising, dude.
• 32:36
  That's awesome.
• 32:37
  Yeah, he's fit.
• 32:38
  Corey says Bill did that with no warm-up.
• 32:41

• 33:15
  All right.
• 33:17
  And then we'll just go to
• 33:20
  one interesting thing I
• 33:22
  thought she posted.
• 33:23
  That's 24.1.
• 33:25
  All right, here's worldwide men and women.
• 33:42
  There's what we talked about early.
• 33:44
  Emily Claw, Hannah Carlson, Grace Walton,
• 33:47
  Ariel Loewen, and Ashley Engel.
• 33:52
  And then we won't go through
• 33:53
  the countries this time.
• 33:59
  Everything had an international flavor.
• 34:01
  And then, man, we had Heinrich Koppelainen,
• 34:04
  Dallin Pepper, Yonikowski, Travis Meade,
• 34:06
  Jeff Adler, Saxon Pancheck,
• 34:08
  and Roman Krennikoff.
• 34:10
  Anything stick out to you in
• 34:12
  those top fives?
• 34:15
  Travis coming from the 35 to 39.
• 34:18
  That sticks out to me.
• 34:20
  That's huge.
• 34:22
  Yonikoski sticks out to me.
• 34:24
  I did not envision this
• 34:26
  being a workout for him.
• 34:30
  He likes the longer workouts, doesn't he?
• 34:32
  it's the power output of the road,
• 34:34
  you know,
• 34:35
  as a real workout in the elite area.
• 34:37
  I just, I didn't see that coming.
• 34:39
  It's the speed of the double unders too.
• 34:41
  It that's a mate.
• 34:42
  It's a transition.
• 34:44
  The speed of the double
• 34:45
  under is a major factor and transitions.
• 34:48
  Like if you're able to just
• 34:49
  one foot into the row or start pulling.
• 34:52
  And like, I watched,
• 34:52
  I think this Dallin Dallin
• 34:54
  speed of his double unders was so fast.
• 34:57
  Same with like Tudor.
• 34:58
  Like if you're just able to
• 34:59
  barely jump off, off the ground, like,
• 35:02
  You're saving time.
• 35:03
  I know when I do double unders,
• 35:04
  like I jump pretty high and
• 35:07
  I'm always behind people.
• 35:08
  Well, I'm always behind people naturally,
• 35:10
  but even more so just on my
• 35:12
  cycle speed of that.
• 35:16
  So then we go to today and.
• 35:21
  How's the answer, Ken?
• 35:23
  We are in 82nd and I think
• 35:26
  the cut is like 85,
• 35:27
  so we got to hold on this week.
• 35:36
  Um, so then we moved to today.
• 35:38
  Uh, we talked,
• 35:41
  I'm sure it's been talked about all day,
• 35:43
  one hour before showtime today,
• 35:46
  it appeared that the
• 35:47
  workout was made public on
• 35:50
  the YouTube site for CrossFit.
• 35:52
  Um, and Jamie, you had a good point.
• 35:55
  You thought maybe it was, uh,
• 35:58
  I think it was daylight savings time.
• 36:01
  I think a month or two months ago,
• 36:03
  somebody set these up or
• 36:04
  three weeks ago for 3 p.m., noon,
• 36:07
  whatever it is, whatever you're at,
• 36:09
  3 p.m.
• 36:09
  for me.
• 36:10
  I think they set it up for 3 p.m.
• 36:11
  each week and didn't account for daylight.
• 36:15
  Because it was like 2
• 36:15
  o'clock that it came out.
• 36:18
  So that's what I feel like happened.
• 36:20
  For sure.
• 36:21
  That's a great point.
• 36:23
  I think that's what happened.
• 36:26
  You know what I think is
• 36:26
  funny about that is
• 36:29
  The PFAA put out a warning
• 36:30
  to the athletes.
• 36:32
  Don't forget about daylight
• 36:33
  savings time because two years ago,
• 36:37
  there was a big fiasco in
• 36:38
  Europe where people
• 36:40
  submitted their scores an
• 36:42
  hour late because of
• 36:44
  daylight savings time and, uh,
• 36:46
  missed their opportunity for the games.
• 36:50
  So I think that's kind of funny.
• 36:52
  Um, but it's okay when CrossFit does,
• 36:55
  it's just not okay when the
• 36:56
  athlete does it.
• 36:57
  Right.
• 37:00
  So it came out.
• 37:03
  It was correct.
• 37:05
  They did have it right of what it was.
• 37:08
  And so when the announcement came,
• 37:11
  it kind of took a little
• 37:12
  bit of the zest out of the
• 37:16
  announcement when you already knew.
• 37:18
  As soon as I saw the whiteboard,
• 37:20
  I was like, okay,
• 37:20
  I don't need to watch Jocko
• 37:23
  do the rest because I already know.
• 37:26
  Okay, but why wasn't Jocko there?
• 37:28
  You don't need to guess.
• 37:31
  He was there.
• 37:33
  Oh,
• 37:33
  I thought that that was like a video
• 37:36
  filmed.
• 37:38
  Oh.
• 37:39
  That was a video filmed.
• 37:41
  He wasn't actually live there.
• 37:43
  Right.
• 37:44
  And there was stuff written
• 37:45
  on the board on the other side,
• 37:46
  like his own workout.
• 37:48
  He couldn't even erase off
• 37:50
  the board before even explaining.
• 37:52
  I wish he would have been there live to...
• 37:55
  to do it.
• 37:55
  Yeah.
• 37:56
  That is weird.
• 37:57
  I actually stopped watching
• 37:58
  cause the feed was so bad.
• 38:00
  Like it kept freezing.
• 38:01
  I couldn't even deal with it.
• 38:03
  Um, and I was driving,
• 38:04
  but it was awful once again.
• 38:08
  Yeah.
• 38:08
  It, so let's talk about that.
• 38:11
  Like, so you have Jocko not live, um,
• 38:16
  in a packed house,
• 38:19
  swap out Seth Rollins live
• 38:22
  in that building this week.
• 38:25
  whole different kind of
• 38:26
  thing no you have on video
• 38:30
  jocko and it's already
• 38:32
  written on the board and he
• 38:33
  just walks over and reads
• 38:35
  the board like I know he
• 38:38
  paid the sponsor this week
• 38:41
  and so that's money in the
• 38:43
  pocket of crossfit but man
• 38:48
  That's been my issue with other.
• 38:50
  It's not that I think Dave
• 38:51
  is the best at doing the announcements,
• 38:53
  but everybody that they
• 38:54
  brought in to do it other than him,
• 38:57
  other than Seth Rollins has
• 38:58
  not brought the punch.
• 39:02
  Like there are people that
• 39:03
  could bring the punch.
• 39:05
  You just got to bring the
• 39:05
  right people in to do it.
• 39:08
  Hmm.
• 39:11
  And Jason, and it's in the chat, but,
• 39:14
  and Jason CrossFit Media,
• 39:15
  I was watching his take on it.
• 39:18
  He made a great point.
• 39:19
  It's too late to get open
• 39:21
  signups weeks two and three.
• 39:23
  Like if you're bringing an
• 39:24
  outsider in to do it,
• 39:26
  it should be week one.
• 39:28
  That's when you want other
• 39:30
  people from around the
• 39:31
  sport to come in and sign
• 39:34
  up and do this thing in the
• 39:35
  open and see what it's all about.
• 39:39
  Lex had suggested too that
• 39:42
  let's say like when he does
• 39:43
  the announcement like
• 39:44
  people would they would
• 39:45
  like rank out a way bigger
• 39:46
  place than obviously the
• 39:47
  Shred Shed and that people
• 39:49
  could sign up to do the
• 39:51
  workout after like the
• 39:52
  elites and pay a certain
• 39:54
  money and meet you know
• 39:56
  Seth Rollins and stuff and
• 39:58
  kind of generate even more
• 39:59
  revenue and bring people
• 40:01
  from maybe his side of the
• 40:02
  community with wrestling
• 40:04
  and just to try that first
• 40:06
  one with the burpees like
• 40:06
  that's when you could have
• 40:08
  For sure,
• 40:08
  use that and then allow people to
• 40:10
  play too and pay a fee.
• 40:12
  Even if it's like $10,
• 40:13
  $20 to get judged there and
• 40:16
  you do a bunch of heats.
• 40:17
  I thought that was a good
• 40:17
  idea also by Lex.
• 40:21
  I've been to two announcements myself.
• 40:24
  When the announcement's over,
• 40:26
  the barricades come down,
• 40:27
  you can walk over and talk to
• 40:29
  whoever it is that's doing
• 40:31
  the announcement.
• 40:32
  And I'm sure Seth would have
• 40:33
  been the same way.
• 40:34
  And there aren't those
• 40:37
  opportunities when you go
• 40:38
  to a WWE event because it's
• 40:41
  in a big arena with 50,000 people.
• 40:44
  You don't have the
• 40:44
  opportunity to get that close to Seth.
• 40:47
  This would have been an
• 40:48
  opportunity to get people
• 40:49
  who wanted to meet Seth
• 40:51
  Rollins to come to a live
• 40:53
  announcement and get to check it out.
• 40:58
  So yeah, I thought today was lackluster.
• 41:03
  One, the workout was announced.
• 41:05
  It was videoed.
• 41:06
  It wasn't even live.
• 41:08
  And you talk about the freezes.
• 41:10
  What really annoyed me is
• 41:11
  they'd come back from the
• 41:12
  freeze and the announcers
• 41:14
  wouldn't even mention it was frozen.
• 41:16
  Right.
• 41:17
  Like they just kept going.
• 41:18
  Like nothing happened.
• 41:19
  Like,
• 41:22
  shouldn't we get a like,
• 41:23
  sorry for the technical issues.
• 41:25
  We think we have them corrected.
• 41:27
  We're going to move on.
• 41:29
  No, it's just like,
• 41:30
  welcome to proven headquarters.
• 41:33
  Like it was a brand new start.
• 41:37
  I don't know.
• 41:39
  I was, I was bummed.
• 41:43
  I still think that this kind
• 41:44
  of stuff has been going on
• 41:45
  for years and people are like, Oh,
• 41:47
  you know, when Dave's going to be back,
• 41:48
  you know, nothing's like this can happen.
• 41:51
  But,
• 41:51
  It's been like this for years.
• 41:53
  Literally when Dave was there,
• 41:54
  when he was gone,
• 41:55
  like there's been mess ups
• 41:57
  and it's just more in the
• 41:58
  spotlight now because
• 41:59
  there's more people doing
• 42:00
  like the media part of it
• 42:02
  and really waiting for
• 42:04
  CrossFit to mess up.
• 42:05
  But there's always been
• 42:06
  stuff like I saw and I was like, oh yeah.
• 42:09
  I mean, one hour difference is, I mean,
• 42:12
  for the open, it didn't matter as much.
• 42:13
  It would be worse, I guess, if it was,
• 42:15
  I don't know, some sort of,
• 42:19
  quarterfinal workout and
• 42:21
  then certain regions can
• 42:22
  actually do the workout on
• 42:23
  the first day versus when
• 42:24
  they're sleeping at night
• 42:25
  and they don't get that
• 42:26
  extra hour to know about
• 42:27
  the workout like that's
• 42:29
  when it would matter maybe
• 42:29
  more but for the open I was
• 42:31
  like okay like yeah moving on
• 42:36
  So I, I talked to Boz about that.
• 42:37
  Right.
• 42:38
  And his response was great.
• 42:39
  Like he thinks people
• 42:41
  romanticize the past.
• 42:43
  He's like, I've, I lived it.
• 42:45
  It wasn't all gravy.
• 42:47
  Like it was,
• 42:48
  there were some bad moments in
• 42:49
  that time and people
• 42:51
  romanticize what went on in the past.
• 42:55
  Um, and, and he just says,
• 42:58
  ask for patience, but my gosh, we're like,
• 43:01
  we're getting like 17 years
• 43:02
  into this thing.
• 43:05
  Like we should be trying to figure it out.
• 43:09
  Yeah.
• 43:10
  Uh-huh.
• 43:13
  But I still love this sport.
• 43:15
  I still love, um, doing,
• 43:19
  I love everything about this sport.
• 43:22
  And I, I, even though they mess up,
• 43:25
  I'll still be coming back
• 43:26
  and cheering away and, and,
• 43:28
  and cheering for the
• 43:30
  athletes that I love and
• 43:31
  all of that stuff.
• 43:32
  So, um,
• 43:34
  The other things we had to talk about is,
• 43:36
  one, I think Proven put on a great show.
• 43:38
  It was really well designed
• 43:43
  to be able to get the crowd
• 43:47
  really close and right up to the action.
• 43:52
  And having to pivot from Tia's injury.
• 43:56
  So let's talk about that.
• 43:57
  It was supposed to be Tia versus Ariel.
• 44:00
  Tia announces on Monday that
• 44:03
  she can't do the workout
• 44:04
  because of her wrist,
• 44:06
  and she won't be able to
• 44:07
  give the fans the show they deserve.
• 44:10
  So they pivot,
• 44:11
  bring in Roman from Cookville.
• 44:14
  Jay Crouch is at Proven.
• 44:15
  He flew in Monday just by chance,
• 44:19
  and Sydney works out there anyway.
• 44:21
  So they put together this
• 44:22
  foursome instead of Tia versus Ariel.
• 44:26
  Were you happy with that?
• 44:30
  Yeah.
• 44:31
  I like that.
• 44:32
  I like that.
• 44:32
  There's two guys, two girls.
• 44:35
  Um,
• 44:35
  I was surprised that they wouldn't have
• 44:38
  picked their top athlete
• 44:41
  from the open right now.
• 44:42
  It's Maddie Sturt.
• 44:43
  I don't know if she's
• 44:44
  already there or not.
• 44:45
  She's Jay's girlfriend or whatever,
• 44:48
  or Sydney McElishan would
• 44:50
  have been also a really
• 44:51
  good call because she's one
• 44:52
  of the best pullers in CrossFit.
• 44:55
  Um,
• 44:57
  I think she would have given
• 44:58
  a good battle as well.
• 45:00
  But I thought Sydney
• 45:01
  performed pretty well today.
• 45:02
  Actually, much better than I thought.
• 45:04
  She paced it very well.
• 45:06
  I was impressed by her.
• 45:07
  She did incredible.
• 45:09
  Much better than I thought.
• 45:10
  Yeah.
• 45:12
  I was shocked.
• 45:13
  I was so happy for her, actually.
• 45:18
  I feel a little bad for Ariel because...
• 45:21
  whatever.
• 45:22
  I don't know if going into
• 45:23
  it when she was like going to face Tia,
• 45:25
  if she, I mean,
• 45:26
  we know that she has the
• 45:27
  ability in the right workout to beat Tia.
• 45:29
  Um, but she talked about that.
• 45:30
  Like she wanted,
• 45:31
  she was hoping to win the golden barbell.
• 45:33
  And I don't feel like,
• 45:35
  I feel like the top men's time this week,
• 45:38
  same kind of as last week,
• 45:39
  like the women aren't going
• 45:40
  to be as competitive as the men.
• 45:44
  Like,
• 45:44
  I don't feel like Ariel had a shot
• 45:45
  against the men.
• 45:46
  So she kind of didn't have a
• 45:47
  shot at the golden barbell
• 45:48
  and that's sort of sucks.
• 45:49
  Yeah.
• 45:50
  She may not win the golden barbell,
• 45:51
  but she's a rogue athlete,
• 45:53
  so I think she's the ultimate winner.
• 45:56
  Is she a rogue athlete?
• 45:58
  She is.
• 45:58
  It got announced today that
• 45:59
  she's a rogue athlete.
• 46:00
  Wow.
• 46:01
  I think that's a better
• 46:02
  prize if you ask me.
• 46:04
  Maybe I'll give her one.
• 46:07
  That's awesome.
• 46:08
  That was like a bucket list thing for her,
• 46:10
  so I'm glad that that happened.
• 46:12
  I missed the announcement.
• 46:16
  Breaking news from Carolyn Prevost.
• 46:19
  ariel is now a rogue athlete
• 46:22
  dan's got a point here you
• 46:25
  want to read that here's
• 46:27
  the thing that irks me tia
• 46:31
  won't do the announcement
• 46:32
  because of the injury but
• 46:33
  did say she won't do the
• 46:37
  didn't say she won't do the
• 46:38
  event at all maybe she'll
• 46:39
  do the old oops I forgot to
• 46:41
  film it it's just the open
• 46:45
  Well, she'll film it probably.
• 46:47
  You'll just be from the back.
• 46:50
  Yeah.
• 46:51
  And we'll get clips of it.
• 46:52
  If there's someone that
• 46:53
  could crush this workout healthy,
• 46:55
  it would be Tia though.
• 46:57
  Oh gosh.
• 46:59
  If she was healthy for this workout,
• 47:01
  like I just think about her
• 47:02
  and Matt doing the friendly
• 47:06
  Fran from the open or from
• 47:09
  the CrossFit Games 2020 season online.
• 47:13
  And I mean,
• 47:17
  She would crush this one.
• 47:20
  She still can.
• 47:21
  I don't know at what point
• 47:23
  or how much she'll be able
• 47:24
  to push on Monday when she does it.
• 47:27
  She's going to video it
• 47:28
  because there's too many
• 47:29
  eyes that want to make sure she did it.
• 47:34
  But my thing about the golden barbell is
• 47:38
  You only had to make six.
• 47:40
  How much more would it have
• 47:42
  been for you to make two more?
• 47:44
  And then in the week one,
• 47:45
  in the week three,
• 47:47
  you give the men and the women each one.
• 47:49
  Yep.
• 47:50
  Like two barbells.
• 47:52
  Come on, Rogue.
• 47:55
  Especially that some workouts,
• 47:56
  like you said, Jamie, like some workouts,
• 47:57
  like the workout of the row,
• 47:59
  a girl will never win that against a guy.
• 48:02
  Never.
• 48:03
  So if you had a matchup that
• 48:04
  had two girls and two guys,
• 48:06
  like you're not going to.
• 48:08
  most likely win as a female.
• 48:12
  I like that idea of one
• 48:14
  winner for the guys,
• 48:15
  one winner for the girls.
• 48:16
  Because we end the season
• 48:17
  with all three winners being men.
• 48:22
  And that sucks.
• 48:24
  This sport is just as
• 48:25
  popular with the women as
• 48:27
  it is with the men.
• 48:29
  They get equal pay at the games.
• 48:31
  They should be treated as
• 48:31
  equals in this regard as well.
• 48:39
  Um, so then the workout was announced.
• 48:44
  What are your thoughts on the workout?
• 48:49
  I think they needed to pick
• 48:52
  a lane and stick with it.
• 48:54
  Um,
• 48:55
  I know you don't think that there
• 48:56
  should be a scaled of the open.
• 48:59
  Um,
• 49:00
  but like my members so far have been
• 49:04
  loving the open and I
• 49:05
  already have some very,
• 49:06
  very disappointed members.
• 49:08
  posting on Facebook that this is like,
• 49:12
  they just don't even want
• 49:13
  to come participate.
• 49:13
  It's catering to elites.
• 49:16
  They can't even do the scaled version.
• 49:20
  And so like I have to pivot
• 49:22
  and create a whole separate
• 49:24
  workout for our gym, for our members.
• 49:27
  It's just, it's frustrating.
• 49:29
  Like,
• 49:29
  I think there should be a level of like,
• 49:32
  we're trying to get you to this movement.
• 49:35
  But yeah,
• 49:38
  you've gone from like fully
• 49:39
  inclusive to not inclusive at all.
• 49:44
  But the scaled version has a
• 49:45
  jumping chest to bar and
• 49:47
  then just a chin over the bar pull up.
• 49:49
  So it's not like it's people
• 49:51
  can still try to get their first pull up.
• 49:54
  The weights a little bit lower.
• 49:55
  Like it's still,
• 49:57
  I think the scaled version is,
• 49:59
  is a good version for most
• 50:00
  of the community.
• 50:03
  Yeah.
• 50:04
  She's digging on me.
• 50:05
  Cause I had a take that I didn't,
• 50:07
  I thought I should.
• 50:08
  I was with her online.
• 50:10
  I was in support of her that
• 50:12
  I feel like skilled is important.
• 50:15
  Um, I think there's something that you,
• 50:17
  for everyone.
• 50:18
  I mean,
• 50:18
  I do see that it's almost like
• 50:20
  there's two different opens right now,
• 50:21
  right?
• 50:22
  Weeks one and two.
• 50:23
  And then week three is like,
• 50:25
  thanks for playing this.
• 50:27
  I mean,
• 50:27
  if you look at the time cap 15
• 50:28
  minutes and you look at
• 50:29
  someone like Sydney Wells,
• 50:31
  and Ariel and Roman in the 10 minutes,
• 50:34
  I started thinking, well,
• 50:36
  these are games athletes in 10,
• 50:39
  almost 11 minutes.
• 50:40
  Will that many people finish
• 50:45
  the workout at 15?
• 50:47
  I don't, I don't think so,
• 50:48
  but I think a lot of people
• 50:49
  will post scaled scores and
• 50:52
  get it validated by the
• 50:53
  affiliate owners again.
• 50:55
  And more of the leaderboard
• 50:57
  stuff will happen because it,
• 50:58
  because a lot of people
• 50:59
  will do it scaled and then,
• 51:01
  don't know how to log and that's yeah.
• 51:04
  Like another issue.
• 51:06
  Yeah.
• 51:06
  The workout self.
• 51:07
  I mean,
• 51:07
  I personally like it much better
• 51:10
  than week two.
• 51:11
  I like Fran.
• 51:13
  How many,
• 51:14
  how many people do you think will
• 51:16
  take the minute rest out of their time?
• 51:21
  Yeah.
• 51:22
  People will take that.
• 51:23
  People will substitute that for sure.
• 51:24
  Yeah.
• 51:24
  A hundred percent.
• 51:25
  I don't think about that.
• 51:26
  Yeah.
• 51:27
  i don't think that this is a
• 51:29
  open friendly workout this
• 51:30
  is a great quarterfinals
• 51:31
  workout this is not an open
• 51:33
  friendly for the masses
• 51:34
  workout I'm sorry like
• 51:37
  people are just idiots I i
• 51:40
  do agree with you on this
• 51:41
  one it doesn't make sense
• 51:43
  with what they've already
• 51:44
  programmed yeah it seems
• 51:46
  like two different people
• 51:48
  programmed weeks one and
• 51:49
  two and then week three was
• 51:51
  You know, it was said, like,
• 51:52
  the open is going to be we
• 51:53
  want people that we can
• 51:54
  drag off the street and
• 51:56
  come in and do these things
• 51:58
  and become part of the community.
• 52:00
  This is not that.
• 52:04
  Someone off the street doing
• 52:05
  a thruster with no front
• 52:07
  rack mobility is going to
• 52:09
  kill themselves.
• 52:12
  Well, no.
• 52:13
  I've been there.
• 52:16
  I mean,
• 52:16
  if they're going right off the streets,
• 52:18
  I think that you should still,
• 52:20
  that's someone that could go scaled.
• 52:21
  I don't think you should be
• 52:23
  forcing someone off the
• 52:24
  street that they have to be
• 52:25
  able to do the RX.
• 52:26
  I don't agree with that.
• 52:28
  I think someone off the
• 52:29
  street can do most things RX.
• 52:32
  But that anyone could come
• 52:34
  off the streets with zero
• 52:36
  training and will just get
• 52:37
  on the thruster of 95 pounds?
• 52:38
  No.
• 52:40
  They're scaled.
• 52:41
  Or foundation.
• 52:42
  If they have zero experience,
• 52:43
  they're foundationed.
• 52:46
  I even find jumping
• 52:47
  chest-to-bar to be extremely difficult.
• 52:50
  Well, that's what I'm saying.
• 52:51
  I have a ton of members who
• 52:53
  cannot do a jumping chest-to-bar,
• 52:57
  let alone a pull-up.
• 52:59
  They're not even going to
• 53:00
  get through the jump.
• 53:01
  I have to change the workout.
• 53:05
  Yeah.
• 53:07
  Again, I don't mean to be negative,
• 53:09
  but it just doesn't make sense.
• 53:13
  Because like you guys were saying,
• 53:17
  who's going to make it through.
• 53:18
  If you look at the community
• 53:20
  heat that went ahead,
• 53:21
  Rachel Skinner was a teen
• 53:24
  athlete at the games and
• 53:28
  she didn't finish.
• 53:29
  She missed by two reps.
• 53:31
  Like,
• 53:31
  and she was humming in that first
• 53:33
  round and it all just went away.
• 53:36
  She may have went out too hot.
• 53:38
  And she was really good at bar muscle ups.
• 53:40
  Like,
• 53:42
  Like, it just was,
• 53:44
  she was so fatigued by the end.
• 53:48
  And it wasn't technique.
• 53:49
  Like, she was, I don't know.
• 53:54
  And then 95 seemed really heavy for her.
• 53:59
  The 95 is very heavy for me.
• 54:03
  Yeah, a few years ago, they had 85 pounds,
• 54:06
  I think, if I remember correctly.
• 54:09
  And then that one had a
• 54:11
  gymnastics progression,
• 54:12
  but it had the double unders in between.
• 54:14
  I remember that.
• 54:15
  Cause I just kept tripping.
• 54:17
  Yeah.
• 54:19
  Yeah.
• 54:19
  That was the one that went.
• 54:20
  95 is a big difference for a
• 54:21
  lot of people.
• 54:23
  Yeah.
• 54:25
  Did that one go total bar
• 54:27
  chest to bar bar muscle up
• 54:28
  or was it pull up chest to
• 54:30
  bar bar muscle ups?
• 54:31
  I think it was like something like 21, 18,
• 54:34
  15.
• 54:35
  And then the double unders
• 54:36
  was like double the reps or
• 54:38
  double or triple the reps
• 54:39
  or something like that.
• 54:41
  Yeah.
• 54:43
  That one, I remember that one, that one.
• 54:45
  And that one went,
• 54:47
  is that the one that went
• 54:48
  right into the lift?
• 54:50
  No, that one was 22, 20, 20,
• 54:56
  21.3 and four.
• 54:58
  Oh yeah.
• 54:58
  21 points.
• 54:59
  Yeah.
• 54:59
  Yeah.
• 54:59
  That's the one that one had front squats,
• 55:02
  toes to bars.
• 55:02
  That one had a rest as well in between.
• 55:07
  And that one went toe to bar, chest to bar,
• 55:09
  bar muscle up.
• 55:10
  I think so.
• 55:11
  That one, yeah.
• 55:14
  I'm surprised no toes to bar.
• 55:17
  I was surprised there was no.
• 55:18
  I thought we'd see toes to bar this week.
• 55:19
  That's one of the movements
• 55:21
  that's like a staple.
• 55:22
  That and double unders.
• 55:25
  I thought we'd see toes to bar this week.
• 55:28
  Me too.
• 55:31
  Oh, is there a tornado coming?
• 55:32
  There is a tornado coming.
• 55:33
  So you did see my wife in
• 55:35
  the corner of your screen,
• 55:37
  but she is and we're live
• 55:39
  on the air and she's saying
• 55:40
  hi to everybody.
• 55:41
  It's really bad.
• 55:47
  It's very, very.
• 55:48
  Oh, no.
• 55:48
  So there is a massive storm
• 55:50
  cell coming right at us.
• 55:53
  So her and the dog are now
• 55:54
  down here in the basement.
• 55:56
  So if you hear any of that stuff,
• 55:57
  that's why.
• 56:01
  So now that we have the
• 56:02
  thoughts on the workout,
• 56:05
  when are we doing it?
• 56:08
  So I already did it.
• 56:11
  We saving that for Sunday night?
• 56:16
  No, Haley and I already did it.
• 56:18
  I know,
• 56:18
  but are we saving your results till
• 56:20
  Sunday night?
• 56:21
  Correct.
• 56:22
  Yes.
• 56:23
  Okay.
• 56:25
  I'm going to do it tomorrow
• 56:26
  morning and then possibly next
• 56:29
  at my affiliate on Monday.
• 56:33
  If I feel like I can finish
• 56:34
  within the top five,
• 56:36
  I'm already doing that for sure.
• 56:39
  This is a good workout for me, I think.
• 56:41
  And you're flying back to Canada.
• 56:43
  I fly back Sunday.
• 56:44
  I leave here Sunday morning at 7 a.m.
• 56:47
  710 from San Francisco.
• 56:49
  So really,
• 56:49
  really early because it's about
• 56:51
  an hour away.
• 56:52
  I'll be home in Toronto at
• 56:54
  like 330 in the afternoon.
• 56:56
  And then I work Monday
• 56:57
  because I go back to work on Monday.
• 56:59
  So I would do it after work on Monday.
• 57:03
  If I, if I'm not too sore from it.
• 57:09
  Uh,
• 57:10
  Dan church has an opinion and that is
• 57:12
  there needs to be a thing
• 57:13
  other than work capacity to
• 57:15
  challenge someone.
• 57:16
  If that's a chin over the bar.
• 57:18
  So be it.
• 57:19
  I love this workout.
• 57:19
  People should embrace
• 57:20
  adversity to allow themselves to grow.
• 57:23
  That was a lot of my
• 57:24
  argument about they should
• 57:25
  get rid of the scale division.
• 57:27
  Um,
• 57:30
  I just, it doesn't, if that's the case,
• 57:33
  then the whole open should
• 57:35
  be written in that way.
• 57:37
  Not just the last event.
• 57:40
  Um,
• 57:44
  And I don't disagree with,
• 57:46
  I do like these like progressive, like,
• 57:48
  hey, maybe you do get your first pull up.
• 57:50
  I think starting the scaled
• 57:52
  with jumping chest to bar
• 57:53
  is slightly too advanced.
• 57:55
  Like just a jumping pull up to start,
• 57:57
  I think would have been a great,
• 57:59
  like way more inclusive.
• 58:00
  Like let's get everyone
• 58:01
  through this first five
• 58:02
  rounds and then let's see
• 58:04
  what you can do.
• 58:05
  like if you get a pull up
• 58:06
  cool you pass all the rest
• 58:08
  of those people if you
• 58:09
  don't get one at least you
• 58:10
  tried um I just think it
• 58:12
  was a little aggressive of
• 58:13
  a start for what we've seen
• 58:15
  for the open so far uh
• 58:17
  fellow fellow teacher
• 58:18
  jeffrey birchfield uh
• 58:20
  carolyn are you on spring
• 58:21
  break yeah I get a week off
• 58:25
  um from school but spring
• 58:28
  break but I mean I've still
• 58:29
  done some math corrections
• 58:30
  throughout the break I
• 58:32
  gotta finish them um
• 58:34
  because they had a test
• 58:35
  before the break just so
• 58:36
  that they can start fresh in your unit.
• 58:37
  So I'm off,
• 58:39
  but still doing a little bit of work.
• 58:41
  I don't know if he's just jealous or what,
• 58:43
  but.
• 58:46
  um okay so uh heat one I'm
• 58:50
  I'm getting slaughtered um
• 58:53
  me too so I we'll skip that
• 58:56
  part um I do want to talk
• 58:59
  about the comp that we did
• 59:00
  briefly a little bit we
• 59:02
  talked about sydney and how
• 59:04
  she did way better than we
• 59:06
  thought um ariel and then
• 59:09
  jay crouch let's talk about
• 59:11
  him for one second that
• 59:13
  dude is going nowhere
• 59:15
  Like, he is legit here to stay.
• 59:19
  And he demolished that workout.
• 59:23
  Do you think his score will stand?
• 59:27
  Noah has 830.
• 59:30
  So, no.
• 59:31
  I think his score is great.
• 59:34
  But people will look at that
• 59:36
  and strategize differently.
• 59:37
  because they saw that they
• 59:39
  kind of broke down towards
• 59:40
  the end and had to break
• 59:41
  their bar muscles,
• 59:42
  people will pick apart that
• 59:45
  first attempt and will for
• 59:47
  sure beat his score.
• 59:49
  I won't be surprised to see a low eight.
• 59:52
  MJ was nine.
• 59:55
  What's that?
• 59:55
  He got 913.
• 59:57
  Noah got 830 already.
• 59:59
  I think Noah will have one
• 1:00:00
  of the top scores,
• 1:00:00
  but I think someone like
• 1:00:02
  Colton will crush this.
• 1:00:06
  Do you think...
• 1:00:09
  okay yeah colton's gonna
• 1:00:10
  kill it oh yeah like his
• 1:00:12
  grip strength is unmatched
• 1:00:14
  and his range of motion is
• 1:00:16
  so small for the thrusters
• 1:00:18
  the the one thing is if
• 1:00:19
  he's doing it at crossfit
• 1:00:21
  charlotte I think um the
• 1:00:24
  bars might be you know a
• 1:00:25
  different height than what
• 1:00:26
  he's used to at home so if
• 1:00:27
  he's having to jump a
• 1:00:28
  little bit higher his score
• 1:00:30
  may not be as good as if he
• 1:00:32
  had the perfect height of
• 1:00:33
  the barbell because I don't
• 1:00:34
  think they're gonna be
• 1:00:34
  adjusting that barbell or that bar
• 1:00:37
  um for him like some
• 1:00:38
  affiliates do matt or riser
• 1:00:40
  but yeah it's still awkward
• 1:00:43
  but I think he'll still
• 1:00:44
  smash it um so kenneth is
• 1:00:49
  actually in the 300s that's
• 1:00:50
  a couple hundred better
• 1:00:51
  than me jeffrey birchfield
• 1:00:53
  is in 65th which is what
• 1:00:55
  he's over the moon
• 1:00:59
  I haven't been messing with my picks.
• 1:01:02
  I just put them in on
• 1:01:03
  Tuesday or whatever and I
• 1:01:04
  don't change them even after the workout.
• 1:01:08
  Scott,
• 1:01:08
  I've been told by Lex to just remind
• 1:01:10
  you that she's ahead of you.
• 1:01:12
  It won't take much on this one.
• 1:01:18
  We'll be back.
• 1:01:19
  We'll be back at quarters.
• 1:01:22
  I'm in 584.
• 1:01:22
  It doesn't matter.
• 1:01:26
  Are you beating me?
• 1:01:28
  I have no idea.
• 1:01:31
  i looked at my number and I
• 1:01:32
  was like I don't I should I
• 1:01:33
  even bring it up tonight um
• 1:01:38
  I am I'm not ashamed I am
• 1:01:41
  408th actually oh you're
• 1:01:43
  kicking my butt all right
• 1:01:45
  then I'm happy now I just
• 1:01:47
  gotta catch lex all right
• 1:01:54
  Jamie and the team.
• 1:01:55
  So we're going to do the
• 1:01:56
  Sunday night show.
• 1:01:57
  You and Haley have already gone.
• 1:02:00
  Um, the rest of the team going Sunday.
• 1:02:03
  Yes.
• 1:02:05
  Um, actually, well, Jeff,
• 1:02:07
  Jeff will go tomorrow as
• 1:02:08
  rise is going to do it at home tomorrow.
• 1:02:12
  And then we'll go on Sunday.
• 1:02:15
  Well, Haley's gone.
• 1:02:16
  She's flying out tomorrow.
• 1:02:17
  So that's why we did it tonight.
• 1:02:19
  Um,
• 1:02:21
  So I'll probably go with
• 1:02:22
  Arizona on Sunday and maybe redo it.
• 1:02:26
  Or I'll wait until Monday.
• 1:02:27
  Is there something major
• 1:02:28
  that you would change from
• 1:02:29
  your first attempt?
• 1:02:31
  It was awful.
• 1:02:32
  It was terrible.
• 1:02:33
  I hated the whole thing.
• 1:02:34
  It was so awful.
• 1:02:35
  Is that a hard combination for you?
• 1:02:38
  Thrusters and chest to bar
• 1:02:40
  are literally my worst things.
• 1:02:45
  Like, thank God for the bar muscle-up.
• 1:02:49
  But...
• 1:02:50
  Yeah.
• 1:02:51
  And it was not great on my
• 1:02:53
  shoulder if I'm being honest.
• 1:02:55
  Yeah, for sure.
• 1:02:58
  I don't know.
• 1:02:59
  I just need to write.
• 1:03:00
  I don't know what I need to do.
• 1:03:02
  Like the barbells heavy for me.
• 1:03:05
  Um, I felt like I took tons of rest.
• 1:03:07
  I don't know.
• 1:03:08
  Suck it up and try to push a
• 1:03:10
  little quicker, I guess.
• 1:03:11
  I don't know.
• 1:03:14
  Yeah.
• 1:03:14
  Corey,
• 1:03:15
  I'd rather do bar muscle ups than
• 1:03:16
  chest to bar any day of the week as well.
• 1:03:19
  Well,
• 1:03:19
  especially if your team is that close
• 1:03:21
  to the cutoff,
• 1:03:22
  you're going to have to probably redo it.
• 1:03:25
  I know.
• 1:03:27
  You have nothing to lose.
• 1:03:29
  I mean,
• 1:03:31
  I don't know how the other members
• 1:03:32
  will do.
• 1:03:34
  Well, I need the men to step up this week.
• 1:03:36
  I've carried the team the last two weeks.
• 1:03:39
  I need the men to have a good score.
• 1:03:40
  Yeah, for sure.
• 1:03:44
  all right so let's move on
• 1:03:47
  to some news and we'll
• 1:03:50
  close out the show so we
• 1:03:52
  talked about it sunday
• 1:03:53
  night but it was announced
• 1:03:54
  over the weekend that ellie
• 1:03:55
  announced she is sitting
• 1:03:57
  the season out um caroline
• 1:03:59
  didn't get to your opinion
• 1:04:00
  on this I think live you
• 1:04:02
  may have put it in the chat
• 1:04:04
  but ellie is sitting out
• 1:04:05
  the season any thoughts not surprised
• 1:04:11
  I thought I like kind of
• 1:04:12
  just saw this coming.
• 1:04:13
  I think you could see physically,
• 1:04:18
  she may have been, you know, 80%, 85%,
• 1:04:22
  but there was still some
• 1:04:23
  stuff when you look at
• 1:04:23
  Justin's channel that she
• 1:04:25
  wasn't always doing the
• 1:04:26
  same thing as him.
• 1:04:27
  I don't know if they have
• 1:04:28
  the same program or not,
• 1:04:29
  but something there.
• 1:04:31
  And then, like she said, like mentally,
• 1:04:33
  I think that it's been hard on her.
• 1:04:35
  I think being away from home,
• 1:04:36
  like there's just not,
• 1:04:38
  having probably her
• 1:04:38
  exemption and just other
• 1:04:40
  things probably going on in
• 1:04:41
  her life and pressures so
• 1:04:43
  um it's probably a mixture
• 1:04:45
  of many many different
• 1:04:47
  things that she hasn't even
• 1:04:48
  talked about in social
• 1:04:49
  media so I mean not not
• 1:04:54
  super surprised but
• 1:04:58
  hopefully hopefully she
• 1:04:59
  gets back into it like like
• 1:05:01
  she said she said later in
• 1:05:01
  this year so maybe she'll be looking at
• 1:05:05
  waterpalooza california or
• 1:05:07
  something like you know
• 1:05:08
  rogue or something like
• 1:05:09
  that yeah I got the
• 1:05:12
  opportunity to meet her at
• 1:05:14
  her first ever games when
• 1:05:16
  she got trapped here and uh
• 1:05:19
  couldn't get back to
• 1:05:20
  australia because of the
• 1:05:21
  olympics if everybody
• 1:05:22
  remembers that um and I
• 1:05:24
  interviewed her for the
• 1:05:25
  morning chalk up at the time
• 1:05:27
  And she was so kind and so
• 1:05:29
  gracious to come in and sit
• 1:05:30
  down with an interview.
• 1:05:32
  And I just,
• 1:05:34
  I hope that whatever she needs to do,
• 1:05:37
  make herself happy again,
• 1:05:38
  that it can happen.
• 1:05:40
  I know she has the back thing.
• 1:05:41
  We saw it at the games last year.
• 1:05:43
  I've had that injury.
• 1:05:44
  It is horrible.
• 1:05:46
  Like you can't get comfortable.
• 1:05:51
  And so I just,
• 1:05:52
  I pray that she finds
• 1:05:54
  whatever relief she needs
• 1:05:55
  to in injury wise and
• 1:05:57
  whatever piece she needs
• 1:05:59
  mentally to be able to move on.
• 1:06:02
  Speaking of back injuries,
• 1:06:03
  Caden Hogan announced this week,
• 1:06:08
  teen athlete,
• 1:06:08
  finished fourth at the games
• 1:06:09
  last year in the 16,
• 1:06:11
  17-year-old division.
• 1:06:13
  He has a herniated disc,
• 1:06:15
  and he is going to have to
• 1:06:16
  sit out this season.
• 1:06:18
  He tried to go through the open,
• 1:06:21
  tried the second workout,
• 1:06:23
  could not complete it.
• 1:06:27
  So had to withdraw.
• 1:06:29
  I just think it's crazy to
• 1:06:30
  see these young athletes
• 1:06:32
  with these injuries.
• 1:06:35
  Like Lex and I were walking
• 1:06:36
  the dogs and we had a chat about it.
• 1:06:38
  Like just like the amount of, you know,
• 1:06:40
  weight that some of the
• 1:06:41
  young athletes are doing
• 1:06:42
  while they're in development and stuff.
• 1:06:43
  I mean, it's fine,
• 1:06:44
  but it's the overtraining at that age.
• 1:06:47
  Right.
• 1:06:48
  I don't know if he's still
• 1:06:50
  doing other sports.
• 1:06:50
  I think he was an athlete of other sports.
• 1:06:52
  I don't know if he
• 1:06:52
  specialized after that in CrossFit,
• 1:06:55
  but sad to see young,
• 1:06:57
  athletes have backing back
• 1:06:59
  problems like I feel like
• 1:07:00
  that's an older issue
• 1:07:04
  problem normally um or
• 1:07:06
  something that's you know
• 1:07:07
  happened over time in many
• 1:07:09
  many years of training for
• 1:07:10
  a certain sport but when
• 1:07:12
  they're this relatively new
• 1:07:14
  but in the sport it's it's
• 1:07:15
  not a good it's not a good
• 1:07:18
  look um but for most of the
• 1:07:21
  teams it's not like they've
• 1:07:22
  been doing it since seven years old
• 1:07:23
  Like it's, we think it's new,
• 1:07:25
  but they've done as
• 1:07:26
  CrossFit as long as I have.
• 1:07:28
  Right.
• 1:07:30
  Yeah.
• 1:07:30
  He was followed by the
• 1:07:31
  prodigies podcast last season.
• 1:07:34
  So I got to know him a little bit there.
• 1:07:35
  Good kid.
• 1:07:36
  Um,
• 1:07:39
  It's one of those things
• 1:07:39
  where he was really good at
• 1:07:40
  like the body weight stuff
• 1:07:42
  and he was trying to build
• 1:07:42
  strength because he's a
• 1:07:44
  smaller athlete and you
• 1:07:46
  just hope he didn't try to push too far,
• 1:07:48
  too fast.
• 1:07:50
  Didn't he win the 5K last
• 1:07:51
  year at the games?
• 1:07:53
  I think he was a really good
• 1:07:53
  runner or something.
• 1:07:55
  I remember he was up there.
• 1:07:59
  um I don't know if you guys
• 1:08:01
  can see the lights
• 1:08:02
  flickering on and off
• 1:08:03
  behind me uh it's getting
• 1:08:05
  serious here so if I
• 1:08:07
  disappear uh you guys have
• 1:08:09
  to finish out the show but
• 1:08:10
  we also got word of another
• 1:08:12
  athlete out and that is
• 1:08:14
  perennial semi-final
• 1:08:15
  athlete so close to the
• 1:08:18
  game so close to the games
• 1:08:21
  in multiple seasons
• 1:08:24
  um gave up firefighting this
• 1:08:25
  year to go all in on
• 1:08:27
  competing in crossfit
• 1:08:29
  decided she needs to take a
• 1:08:31
  step back and find her
• 1:08:32
  happy place again and
• 1:08:33
  that's chloe wilson this
• 1:08:36
  one another mental thing I
• 1:08:41
  mean you can literally I
• 1:08:42
  have it um I have it up I
• 1:08:44
  can share it I didn't see this one
• 1:08:51
  That's crazy.
• 1:08:53
  So Chloe Wilson,
• 1:08:55
  if people don't remember
• 1:08:57
  Granite Games three years ago,
• 1:08:59
  she finished like a point
• 1:09:01
  out of going to the games.
• 1:09:03
  Then the next year she
• 1:09:04
  finished in sixth again in
• 1:09:05
  that really tight race in Knoxville.
• 1:09:09
  And then last year she was
• 1:09:11
  in a qualifying position
• 1:09:13
  until the last event and
• 1:09:15
  fell out in the West.
• 1:09:18
  So she says,
• 1:09:18
  I moved across the country to
• 1:09:21
  compete full-time in CrossFit.
• 1:09:24
  Then I decided to not compete at all.
• 1:09:26
  Life's crazy.
• 1:09:27
  Going to find my happy
• 1:09:28
  inside the gym again.
• 1:09:31
  Get back to being a firefighter.
• 1:09:34
  Hopefully somewhere in Tennessee wants me.
• 1:09:37
  And most important,
• 1:09:38
  find my happy outside the gym.
• 1:09:40
  I'm excited and happy with my choice.
• 1:09:43
  Thanks for all the support and love.
• 1:09:49
  Very interesting.
• 1:09:51
  Yeah.
• 1:09:51
  So, I mean,
• 1:09:55
  is it becoming an epidemic that
• 1:09:58
  we're losing like athlete
• 1:10:00
  after athlete after athlete
• 1:10:01
  or taking a step back?
• 1:10:03
  Are we training too much?
• 1:10:05
  Is the season too long?
• 1:10:09
  Is the answer yes to all of that?
• 1:10:12
  Well, when she first stopped working,
• 1:10:14
  my first thing was that's stupid.
• 1:10:17
  like me as, as like a full-time worker,
• 1:10:18
  I was like, I was like,
• 1:10:20
  you can still do your firefighting.
• 1:10:21
  And like, I'm like, she's just as good.
• 1:10:24
  Like it's,
• 1:10:24
  I don't think that she needed to
• 1:10:26
  go full-time.
• 1:10:26
  And if she, and she,
• 1:10:28
  like when you heard some of
• 1:10:29
  her things on podcasts,
• 1:10:30
  like she was so passionate about,
• 1:10:32
  you know,
• 1:10:33
  fighting fires and stuff like that.
• 1:10:34
  And when you have something
• 1:10:36
  else in your life and you
• 1:10:38
  all of a sudden take all
• 1:10:39
  that out and you're going
• 1:10:40
  all in the amount of
• 1:10:41
  pressure that that added to your life is
• 1:10:45
  crazy because when you don't
• 1:10:47
  qualify for the games, I had,
• 1:10:49
  I had been last year, right?
• 1:10:50
  I don't qualify for the games.
• 1:10:51
  I have something to fall back on.
• 1:10:52
  I have a full-time job,
• 1:10:54
  other things when you're,
• 1:10:55
  when you've had that job
• 1:10:57
  and all of a sudden you're,
• 1:10:58
  you quit that to go all in
• 1:11:01
  and you don't make it.
• 1:11:03
  You're like, like,
• 1:11:04
  there's just so much pressure.
• 1:11:06
  So I don't know if that's,
• 1:11:07
  that's a factor in that,
• 1:11:10
  but it's just something
• 1:11:11
  else on her plate too.
• 1:11:12
  Like,
• 1:11:13
  it can kind of just a way
• 1:11:14
  it's completely different from CrossFit.
• 1:11:16
  And I think that that's
• 1:11:17
  important to have something
• 1:11:17
  that's completely, you know,
• 1:11:18
  she has different friends at firefighter.
• 1:11:21
  She gets to experience different things,
• 1:11:23
  the thrill of, you know,
• 1:11:26
  saving people's lives and stuff.
• 1:11:27
  And I think that she
• 1:11:30
  obviously missed that and could have,
• 1:11:34
  I think could have stayed
• 1:11:35
  full time there and
• 1:11:36
  probably still made the
• 1:11:37
  games and been happier.
• 1:11:40
  She's,
• 1:11:41
  Yeah,
• 1:11:42
  she's somebody that I feel like
• 1:11:44
  should have gone the team
• 1:11:45
  route and like stayed with
• 1:11:49
  the firefighting, gone the team route,
• 1:11:50
  got that experience,
• 1:11:52
  then maybe figured out,
• 1:11:53
  can I do this solo?
• 1:11:57
  That's hard, though,
• 1:11:58
  when you're that close.
• 1:12:00
  Like, I mean,
• 1:12:01
  we're not talking like she
• 1:12:04
  finished sixth at Granite,
• 1:12:06
  sixth at Mac or Syndicate.
• 1:12:09
  I can't remember which one.
• 1:12:11
  And then she was in a
• 1:12:13
  qualifying spot in Pasadena
• 1:12:16
  going into the last event.
• 1:12:19
  So was Annika.
• 1:12:21
  We see she's going the team route.
• 1:12:23
  She's not.
• 1:12:27
  She's not going team?
• 1:12:28
  Nope.
• 1:12:31
  Other people that are training at her gym,
• 1:12:33
  like at P... Oh, I guess, yeah,
• 1:12:37
  I guess it's... Yeah,
• 1:12:39
  it's Mathilde and Lena are
• 1:12:42
  the women on that team.
• 1:12:44
  She did a team with them at
• 1:12:47
  one of the off-season events.
• 1:12:50
  But, yeah, she has told me, like,
• 1:12:53
  it's Indy or nothing.
• 1:12:54
  She doesn't like doing team.
• 1:12:55
  Oh, she's on it.
• 1:12:58
  I guess it's not for everybody.
• 1:12:59
  Yeah.
• 1:13:03
  I've, I mean,
• 1:13:04
  I've talked to athletes in
• 1:13:05
  the past where team was a
• 1:13:06
  miserable experience for them.
• 1:13:08
  It's just not what they're made out to do.
• 1:13:13
  And getting four
• 1:13:14
  personalities on the same
• 1:13:15
  page is really hard.
• 1:13:23
  So you need to make sure you
• 1:13:24
  have the right three other people.
• 1:13:28
  or it can be really, really hard.
• 1:13:33
  So my last question for the night,
• 1:13:35
  and I think we need to dive into this,
• 1:13:40
  people leaving and the reasons why,
• 1:13:42
  a little bit deeper maybe next week.
• 1:13:47
  And just real quick, Bruce did ask,
• 1:13:51
  Scott worked out with Judy?
• 1:13:52
  I did.
• 1:13:54
  And Judy was awesome.
• 1:13:57
  Uh, we had a blast for an hour, um,
• 1:13:58
  got fitter and she,
• 1:14:01
  she did awesome and was so excited to see,
• 1:14:04
  uh, where Christie Aramo works out.
• 1:14:07
  Uh,
• 1:14:07
  we just didn't get to see Christie
• 1:14:08
  Aramo today.
• 1:14:09
  So, um,
• 1:14:13
  she's at the high rocks right this
• 1:14:14
  weekend in Houston or something.
• 1:14:16
  Yeah, I know she's doing that,
• 1:14:19
  but I don't know where she's at.
• 1:14:21
  We've been talking by email.
• 1:14:23
  And yeah,
• 1:14:25
  it's hard for me to imagine she
• 1:14:26
  would miss an open weekend
• 1:14:29
  because they're so involved.
• 1:14:31
  Yeah.
• 1:14:31
  But the coaches are really good.
• 1:14:33
  So, I mean,
• 1:14:34
  she has people she can trust to do it.
• 1:14:36
  And her mom ran the gym for
• 1:14:37
  years and is still very active there.
• 1:14:40
  Yeah.
• 1:14:42
  I think her and her husband
• 1:14:43
  are doing the High Rocks
• 1:14:44
  this weekend individually,
• 1:14:45
  like in the Indy Pro.
• 1:14:47
  And Mal O'Brien's doing it as well,
• 1:14:49
  but not in the Indy Pro.
• 1:14:50
  I think she's doing it in a
• 1:14:51
  team or something like that.
• 1:14:53
  Yeah, she's doing doubles.
• 1:14:55
  Brian's been announced that, gosh,
• 1:14:57
  right before we went on the air.
• 1:15:00
  But I think Christy will crush High Rocks.
• 1:15:06
  I think so too.
• 1:15:07
  I think that's a great
• 1:15:08
  transition for her as a,
• 1:15:10
  she was probably one of, I mean,
• 1:15:12
  if not the best long
• 1:15:14
  distance runner that we've had.
• 1:15:16
  I think someone like her,
• 1:15:19
  Alex Parker was a really good runner too.
• 1:15:22
  Like pure like distance runners role,
• 1:15:25
  obviously.
• 1:15:27
  Yeah, she runs to the gym,
• 1:15:30
  and it's a couple miles.
• 1:15:33
  And then she runs home after the workout.
• 1:15:36
  Like after today, I barely got to my car.
• 1:15:42
  How are your legs doing right now, Scott?
• 1:15:45
  Not great.
• 1:15:47
  The rope crushed them.
• 1:15:51
  just haven't had much
• 1:15:52
  resistance or like pushing
• 1:15:54
  with power in a little bit.
• 1:15:56
  And I felt it first four rounds.
• 1:16:00
  I was good.
• 1:16:01
  Second four rounds,
• 1:16:02
  wheels came off the bus pretty hard.
• 1:16:06
  Um, but then I'd look over,
• 1:16:08
  Judy was going to town every,
• 1:16:10
  every single round.
• 1:16:10
  And I'm like, well, gotta keep going.
• 1:16:14
  And in the Judy way was just like,
• 1:16:16
  you got this guy, you can do it.
• 1:16:19
  And so I had to like, keep going.
• 1:16:22
  So my last question is,
• 1:16:25
  are the results of the Open
• 1:16:27
  changing your opinions on
• 1:16:28
  any specific athletes and
• 1:16:30
  how well they can do this year?
• 1:16:32
  Like, for instance, today,
• 1:16:34
  Sydney Wells surprised me
• 1:16:36
  with her upper body pulling
• 1:16:39
  that she hung in there
• 1:16:41
  pretty good against some of
• 1:16:43
  the best in the world.
• 1:16:45
  And that is a huge improvement for her.
• 1:16:49
  Yeah.
• 1:16:51
  I think her pull-ups have
• 1:16:54
  always been decent.
• 1:16:55
  I'm sure she's been working on it more.
• 1:16:57
  There's something about the ring muscle-up,
• 1:16:59
  the turnover, something that...
• 1:17:01
  i mean we'll have to wait on
• 1:17:02
  seeing that if that has
• 1:17:03
  improved at all I'm sure
• 1:17:04
  it's improved a little bit
• 1:17:05
  but I still think that's
• 1:17:06
  going to be her huge hole
• 1:17:09
  compared to the field um
• 1:17:11
  and I just I don't know I
• 1:17:12
  know you shut it off but
• 1:17:14
  tia was even saying how far
• 1:17:16
  she's come with her bar
• 1:17:17
  muscle ups in the time that
• 1:17:20
  she's been there is like
• 1:17:21
  night and day that's awesome
• 1:17:27
  It's just hard to tell for
• 1:17:28
  the open because some people are redoing,
• 1:17:31
  some people are not.
• 1:17:34
  Different types of workouts
• 1:17:35
  that you'll see at quarterfinals.
• 1:17:36
  So some people will shine
• 1:17:38
  more in the open and they always do more,
• 1:17:40
  like just better in the open.
• 1:17:43
  So I don't value, I mean,
• 1:17:47
  I don't value as much.
• 1:17:50
  I'm an open person.
• 1:17:50
  I like the open.
• 1:17:52
  I normally do well every year in the open,
• 1:17:55
  but I don't know.
• 1:17:58
  It's a different test.
• 1:17:59
  It starts back over.
• 1:18:02
  You just don't know what
• 1:18:04
  people will be like in a month.
• 1:18:08
  Yeah.
• 1:18:09
  So what I look at,
• 1:18:10
  and I have a handful of names,
• 1:18:12
  or do you want to go first, Jamie?
• 1:18:13
  Go ahead.
• 1:18:14
  Yeah, well,
• 1:18:15
  so I think Sydney's a great pick,
• 1:18:16
  but for me,
• 1:18:17
  and I had said something about her before,
• 1:18:20
  was Grace Walton.
• 1:18:21
  Like, is just smashing this so far.
• 1:18:25
  I'm so curious to see how
• 1:18:26
  she does on point three,
• 1:18:27
  but that would be, like, that's, like,
• 1:18:30
  my top pick right now.
• 1:18:32
  Yeah, I fully agree with you.
• 1:18:33
  Like, I want to see,
• 1:18:35
  obviously her capacity is there.
• 1:18:38
  Now I want to see is the crossfit.
• 1:18:42
  traditional CrossFit
• 1:18:43
  thruster chest of our bar
• 1:18:44
  muscle-ups there because
• 1:18:46
  she's been crushing it.
• 1:18:48
  Very impressive.
• 1:18:48
  Yeah.
• 1:18:50
  I didn't know about her before.
• 1:18:51
  I didn't follow her.
• 1:18:53
  And we know she can swim from Guadalupe,
• 1:18:57
  like a dolphin.
• 1:18:59
  And we know I can't.
• 1:19:00
  Right.
• 1:19:05
  So I had like three coming into today.
• 1:19:08
  And really what I'm looking
• 1:19:10
  for is people that are
• 1:19:11
  doing well in things that I
• 1:19:12
  wouldn't think they would do well in.
• 1:19:14
  So how much have they closed
• 1:19:16
  the gaps on their holes?
• 1:19:19
  And coming into this week,
• 1:19:23
  Tudor was high on my list.
• 1:19:27
  If you look at 24.1,
• 1:19:29
  that was not a Tudor workout.
• 1:19:34
  And he finished top 50 in the world.
• 1:19:36
  I think 34th or something like that.
• 1:19:40
  And then this week before the debacle,
• 1:19:44
  he was winning the event.
• 1:19:48
  And I did think he would do
• 1:19:49
  good on the row.
• 1:19:50
  I just didn't know if he had
• 1:19:51
  the engine to finish.
• 1:19:52
  Agreed.
• 1:19:53
  He showed that he kind of
• 1:19:54
  did have the engine to finish,
• 1:19:56
  whether you think his
• 1:19:57
  deadlifts were open or not.
• 1:20:00
  He still got over 1,000 reps.
• 1:20:02
  He still went through it all,
• 1:20:03
  and his engine still held up.
• 1:20:05
  So Tudor is one.
• 1:20:07
  Freya Mooseburger has done
• 1:20:10
  well in events that I did
• 1:20:11
  not picture her to do well in.
• 1:20:12
  I look at her as a Tudor athlete as well,
• 1:20:18
  and she did well on the
• 1:20:20
  first two workouts.
• 1:20:22
  And my next one is a real big wild card.
• 1:20:25
  Two years ago,
• 1:20:26
  she was a semifinals athlete.
• 1:20:27
  She injured her knee last year,
• 1:20:29
  and that's Elena Buds.
• 1:20:30
  Okay.
• 1:20:32
  She went to underdogs for a year.
• 1:20:33
  She tore up her knee.
• 1:20:36
  She's been rehabbing it back,
• 1:20:38
  and she's looked really
• 1:20:39
  good in the open this year.
• 1:20:42
  She moved back home to be
• 1:20:45
  back with family.
• 1:20:46
  She's really close with them.
• 1:20:49
  But again,
• 1:20:51
  moving back home puts her back
• 1:20:52
  in the East.
• 1:20:54
  That's murder's row.
• 1:20:57
  But I do think, and Freya,
• 1:20:59
  I think that's a mistake for her,
• 1:21:01
  training out of TTT now if
• 1:21:02
  she's in the East.
• 1:21:04
  And I don't know how that works.
• 1:21:07
  She's training in Montreal,
• 1:21:09
  but she's doing training, I think,
• 1:21:11
  but she's in Montreal.
• 1:21:12
  Okay.
• 1:21:13
  Is that, so is that East?
• 1:21:16
  Cause last year she was West
• 1:21:17
  training in Montreal, right?
• 1:21:20
  Yeah.
• 1:21:21
  I think she had her home address before,
• 1:21:24
  but now I think she was
• 1:21:24
  like more moved into Montreal.
• 1:21:26
  Like I think before she
• 1:21:27
  wasn't kind of like living there,
• 1:21:30
  she was more training there.
• 1:21:31
  And now I think she's more
• 1:21:32
  established in Montreal.
• 1:21:35
  So those were my picks.
• 1:21:36
  Those are the three that I,
• 1:21:38
  just looking at the leaderboard,
• 1:21:39
  I thought showed something
• 1:21:41
  where they've improved on their holes.
• 1:21:45
  And I'm actually super excited.
• 1:21:47
  And now that CrossFit is picking on Tudor,
• 1:21:49
  now I want him to win more.
• 1:21:51
  I know.
• 1:21:52
  Me too.
• 1:21:54
  So like I'm in that kid's
• 1:21:55
  corner and want him to do well.
• 1:21:59
  but those,
• 1:22:00
  those are the three that I kind
• 1:22:01
  of like stood out to me as
• 1:22:04
  people who have fixed their hole.
• 1:22:06
  And the other thing that
• 1:22:07
  I'll say is for those
• 1:22:10
  people who thought that
• 1:22:11
  Ariel was a fluke last year,
• 1:22:12
  they got another thing
• 1:22:14
  coming because that girl is
• 1:22:19
  super fit now and she's got
• 1:22:21
  some confidence behind her.
• 1:22:23
  And I, that makes her really dangerous.
• 1:22:26
  And in the last spin pull,
• 1:22:27
  I moved her back up into the top five.
• 1:22:35
  Yeah.
• 1:22:36
  So she's killing it.
• 1:22:37
  I agree.
• 1:22:39
  I'm intrigued by the kale
• 1:22:42
  guy within the top 10 or
• 1:22:44
  whatever for the mail.
• 1:22:46
  I think his third right now, he's very, um,
• 1:22:50
  he's not as tall.
• 1:22:52
  He's more Colton's height,
• 1:22:53
  maybe even smaller.
• 1:22:54
  So something like this could
• 1:22:55
  also be good for him.
• 1:22:56
  Like, can he win the open?
• 1:23:00
  Never heard of him.
• 1:23:02
  Just would be interesting
• 1:23:03
  there to have someone come
• 1:23:06
  out and do as well as that.
• 1:23:10
  I don't know how he did last
• 1:23:12
  year in the open.
• 1:23:13
  Yeah, he doesn't have much experience.
• 1:23:15
  He did the open in 2023 and
• 1:23:16
  was almost 5,000.
• 1:23:19
  So maybe there was an injury
• 1:23:21
  there or something, but.
• 1:23:25
  What I was looking at was people I knew,
• 1:23:29
  what their holes were.
• 1:23:30
  These people that are coming
• 1:23:31
  out of the woodwork, I don't know yet.
• 1:23:34
  It's wait and see.
• 1:23:37
  Cajon, I think,
• 1:23:38
  I'm happy to see that he's
• 1:23:41
  recovering from his peck.
• 1:23:43
  I didn't expect him as high.
• 1:23:45
  He's always done well in the open,
• 1:23:47
  but just to see him back
• 1:23:48
  after a rough year last year,
• 1:23:49
  I think it's nice to see that.
• 1:23:52
  yeah we um it's funny we
• 1:23:55
  stayed in the same airbnb
• 1:23:58
  as him and um vino yeah
• 1:24:05
  alex uh last year in
• 1:24:07
  orlando and didn't even
• 1:24:09
  know until sunday when we
• 1:24:10
  were packing up to leave yep
• 1:24:15
  Um, but yeah, it was, it was sad.
• 1:24:17
  He was in the parking lot.
• 1:24:18
  Like his shoulder was all wrapped up and,
• 1:24:20
  and bandaged, um, after that.
• 1:24:24
  Um, but yeah.
• 1:24:26
  And he's a good guy.
• 1:24:27
  Like there's him and Alex are really cool.
• 1:24:32
  Um,
• 1:24:33
  my third pick was Dallin and the men's
• 1:24:35
  side.
• 1:24:35
  I've been very impressed with him.
• 1:24:37
  I knew the second workout would be good,
• 1:24:39
  but that first workout to
• 1:24:41
  see him go sub-six,
• 1:24:43
  that's very impressive.
• 1:24:44
  Yeah, that surprised me a lot.
• 1:24:48
  He's putting up a good start to the season,
• 1:24:50
  and he had a phenomenal season last year,
• 1:24:52
  and I think he could be in
• 1:24:53
  the mix with those top guys now.
• 1:24:55
  Because I think he was a
• 1:24:56
  tier nine number four,
• 1:24:57
  but I think he's stepping up now to that.
• 1:24:59
  I mean, it's just the open, but again,
• 1:25:03
  I think he has a very
• 1:25:04
  positive trajectory.
• 1:25:07
  Would there be a specific
• 1:25:08
  reason why he seems to be a slow starter?
• 1:25:11
  Like at every event you go to,
• 1:25:13
  whether it be Rogue, the games,
• 1:25:16
  Wadapalooza,
• 1:25:17
  it seems like he gets off to
• 1:25:18
  a slow start.
• 1:25:27
  Doodles are barking at some
• 1:25:29
  squirrels out there,
• 1:25:29
  so I was waiting to see if
• 1:25:31
  Jamie was going to say something.
• 1:25:35
  Well, I like, I know you've,
• 1:25:37
  you've competed at the highest level.
• 1:25:38
  Like, do you ever have those?
• 1:25:41
  Like you don't seem to be a slow starter.
• 1:25:46
  It depends on the workout.
• 1:25:49
  And it really depends.
• 1:25:50
  Like if you're going to the games,
• 1:25:51
  that's a swimming workout to start.
• 1:25:53
  I'm going to be a slow starter.
• 1:25:56
  It depends on what it is.
• 1:25:59
  Yeah.
• 1:26:00
  You and Pat Velner.
• 1:26:04
  I don't even try to swim.
• 1:26:06
  He's at least swimming every week.
• 1:26:09
  I swim at Waterpalooza.
• 1:26:10
  I swim at NorCal Classic.
• 1:26:14
  I take my two full rest days a week.
• 1:26:16
  Full rest days.
• 1:26:18
  I love it.
• 1:26:18
  All right.
• 1:26:21
  I'll worry about swimming
• 1:26:22
  when I need to worry about swimming.
• 1:26:26
  too late one of my favorite
• 1:26:29
  quotes ever is from carolyn
• 1:26:31
  where she goes why would I
• 1:26:33
  waste time getting better
• 1:26:34
  at one event out of 15 like
• 1:26:38
  just just keep getting
• 1:26:40
  better at the other stuff
• 1:26:41
  and I have one bad event
• 1:26:43
  and when she said I was
• 1:26:44
  like you know it kind of
• 1:26:45
  does make sense why put a
• 1:26:47
  ton of effort into this if
• 1:26:49
  I'm only going to improve
• 1:26:50
  from 39th to 36th yeah you got a point
• 1:26:59
  because it's like I can
• 1:27:00
  survive like I'm not no
• 1:27:03
  like I'll survive if it's
• 1:27:05
  gonna appear like in
• 1:27:05
  semi-final or something
• 1:27:06
  yeah I'll start swimming
• 1:27:07
  but I don't think it will
• 1:27:09
  not yet anyways not in the
• 1:27:10
  facilities that we have so
• 1:27:13
  right I i would rather have
• 1:27:15
  the rest days I do work on
• 1:27:16
  those where like I'm doing
• 1:27:18
  corrections I'm it's like a
• 1:27:20
  mental break it's like I
• 1:27:21
  get to switch and work on
• 1:27:23
  other things that I have in my day um
• 1:27:27
  Corey says, I won't drown.
• 1:27:29
  Well, it depends on the distance, Corey.
• 1:27:37
  So one thing I forgot to bring up,
• 1:27:40
  and that is,
• 1:27:40
  I don't know if you saw
• 1:27:41
  Adrian Conway today was
• 1:27:43
  wearing a new shirt that if
• 1:27:45
  you make quarters, you get.
• 1:27:49
  Now, is it free from CrossFit,
• 1:27:51
  or do you have to pay for it?
• 1:27:53
  You buy that, Scott.
• 1:27:54
  For sure, you're buying.
• 1:27:55
  They're not sending...
• 1:27:56
  shirts that people no way
• 1:28:00
  it's just an opportunity to
• 1:28:02
  have to buy a shirt to say
• 1:28:03
  that you made it to the
• 1:28:04
  quarters and you can only
• 1:28:06
  buy it if you made it to
• 1:28:07
  quarters like I bought a
• 1:28:10
  shirt from rogue that said
• 1:28:11
  I was in that 750 club
• 1:28:13
  after I got like I still
• 1:28:15
  had to buy it I'm assuming
• 1:28:17
  it's the same thing hey it
• 1:28:20
  should be part of the sign up fee uh
• 1:28:25
  Yeah.
• 1:28:26
  Sarah Cooper.
• 1:28:27
  Yes.
• 1:28:28
  Carolyn is going indie.
• 1:28:30
  She's one of those alphas
• 1:28:32
  that can't be in a room
• 1:28:33
  with three other people.
• 1:28:36
  Just kidding.
• 1:28:45
  Corey says if it's as ugly
• 1:28:46
  as the open shirt, they can keep it.
• 1:28:51
  Jeffrey still hasn't even
• 1:28:52
  gotten his open shirt,
• 1:28:53
  so that's not good.
• 1:28:56
  That's a bad look.
• 1:28:59
  Wow.
• 1:29:00
  That's like tear when I
• 1:29:02
  bought the Sydney and the
• 1:29:05
  Emily shirts and I got them
• 1:29:07
  three months after Waterpalooza was over.
• 1:29:09
  What the heck?
• 1:29:12
  And I ordered them like
• 1:29:12
  three months before Waterpalooza.
• 1:29:16
  That's terrible.
• 1:29:19
  Why, why are jerseys for athletes so hard?
• 1:29:24
  No matter what company does them,
• 1:29:27
  they seem to be delayed.
• 1:29:29
  Yeah.
• 1:29:31
  It's a screen printed name on a shirt.
• 1:29:35
  Yeah,
• 1:29:36
  clearly you're using the wrong vendor
• 1:29:37
  for it, I would say.
• 1:29:42
  Yeah,
• 1:29:42
  like for the Arnold Thickboy had me
• 1:29:45
  three shirts and a
• 1:29:45
  sweatshirt in like less than a week.
• 1:29:49
  Yeah.
• 1:29:54
  So, all right.
• 1:29:56
  Well, with that,
• 1:29:58
  I think the storm has
• 1:29:59
  passed wife and dog have left.
• 1:30:01
  That's good.
• 1:30:03
  We made it through with full power.
• 1:30:07
  The only advantage I have
• 1:30:08
  living where I do is I am
• 1:30:11
  like a couple hundred yards
• 1:30:13
  from Chase's headquarters.
• 1:30:17
  And so all the,
• 1:30:18
  all the power lines are underground.
• 1:30:22
  And they're on like this
• 1:30:23
  super grid because the
• 1:30:26
  banking world can't be without them.
• 1:30:28
  Right.
• 1:30:29
  So we're on that same grid.
• 1:30:32
  We have never lost power in the,
• 1:30:34
  in the 20 years I've lived here.
• 1:30:36
  That's crazy.
• 1:30:40
  And just knocking on wood too.
• 1:30:43
  Yeah.
• 1:30:46
  But yeah.
• 1:30:47
  All right.
