0:23

my back right is jamie
0:50
latimer uh the crazy one as
0:53
some of the uh listeners
0:55
told us today or told me
0:57
they didn't say it to her
0:58
face tell me um so yeah
1:02
it's been a fun day uh
1:06
a lot of action we had two
1:08
individual events we had
1:09
two team events and we
1:11
crowned the champion of the
1:12
syndicate crown on the team
1:14
side where do you want to
1:16
start um yeah we can start
1:20
with that let's get teams
1:20
out of the way okay so we
1:24
started with um a
1:28
A workout where one pair did 30 synchro.
1:35
30 kale row, 30 synchro overhead squats,
1:38
three rounds.
1:39
Yep.
1:39
And then the second pair did
1:41
90-90 unbroken.
1:43
Yep.
1:44
Yeah, it didn't have to be unbroken,
1:45
but yeah.
1:47
I just meant not partitioned.
1:49
Is that better?
1:50
Correct.
1:51
Okay.
1:51
See, I told you.
1:52
I told you on IG.
1:54
She's got a lot of pent-up energy.
1:56
She's ready to fight somebody.
1:57
We both are ready to fight
1:59
somebody earlier today, but we're here.
2:04
So it should be an interesting show.
2:06
And Kenneth,
2:06
you'll be happy to know I may
2:07
have trimmed beard,
2:09
but I was really feisty
2:11
Scott earlier today.
2:12
I was ready to take some people out.
2:16
Hey, Jess.
2:18
So that workout finished,
2:21
and I think it's the only
2:23
workout Peak 360 didn't win
2:25
in the entire weekend.
2:27
No, it was Ocean State?
2:30
I believe so.
2:31
Yeah, they made a, well,
2:34
so that has Christine Best, correct?
2:37
Yeah.
2:38
She demolished those 90 overhead squats.
2:41
Um, I mean, her teammate helped,
2:42
but she just,
2:46
her cycle rate on those were
2:48
unreal and that a lot,
2:51
cause they were not first
2:52
going into that pair.
2:53
Um, but she just knocked it out the park.
2:58
Yeah, and it was pretty tight.
3:01
A bunch of teams came in after that.
3:04
But Peak360 held on to their
3:06
lead going into the final event.
3:12
And I think it was really
3:13
cool after the reseed, after day one,
3:15
we got all the best teams
3:16
in that final heat.
3:17
Yeah.
3:19
And it was fun watching the
3:22
close battles that were happening.
3:25
And the final event,
3:27
it was Synchro Toast Bar.
3:29
Synchro Bar Muscle Up.
3:31
That's what I said.
3:32
Worm Clean and Jerk and Burpee Over Worm.
3:36
Yeah.
3:36
With a little lunge to progress the worm.
3:40
That was a battle between
3:41
Peak 360 and Mayhem.
3:44
Right down to the wire.
3:45
Peak 360 pulling it out at the end.
3:49
Yep.
3:51
So...
3:54
At the end of the weekend,
3:55
we had Peak 360 in first.
3:58
We had Mayhem in second.
4:03
CrossFit 1124 in third.
4:04
Yep.
4:05
And then eighth day CrossFit in fourth.
4:09
Correct.
4:10
And they are the team that
4:11
if you're watching IG,
4:13
they are the team that
4:14
started in heat one on the
4:15
weekend and ended up in
4:17
fourth place overall.
4:19
Yeah.
4:20
And Jamie's tight with them.
4:21
Well, yeah, they're in Grand Rapids.
4:24
To be fair, one of their teammates,
4:28
Michael,
4:28
who was the Legends winner that
4:31
Scott interviewed, 35-39 male,
4:35
he had a little bit of an injury,
4:38
I feel like,
4:39
going into the team quarters.
4:43
So they had their backup
4:45
perform their quarters, and that...
4:50
he, he's just, he's not him.
4:52
So they came in at the
4:54
bottom and this is their
4:56
true team and we see where they're at.
4:57
So really, really excited for them.
5:01
And then we had four more.
5:02
Do you, do you have the list?
5:04
Uh, reignited ocean state.
5:06
Um, and then TTT endure, uh,
5:11
took the eighth spot.
5:12
I might've missed one in there.
5:13
So CrossFit, so most mayhem.
5:16
And then TT2 Endure ended up
5:18
taking that eighth spot and
5:21
TTT Levi's Mayhem was knocked out.
5:27
okay so there you have it uh
5:30
that is on the team side uh
5:32
we got some podium picks
5:34
just got to get those to
5:35
holly here in a couple
5:36
minutes after we're done
5:37
with the show and you'll
5:39
get to see some podium
5:40
picks of that and
5:42
congratulations to all
5:44
those people um of course
5:48
all the names were peak 360
5:50
and mayhem yeah uh
5:53
And I guess Christine Best
5:55
and Christine Middleton are
5:55
pretty well known as well
5:58
on that Ocean State team.
5:59
Shaylin Laurie on CrossFit Reignited.
6:01
So those are some teams you
6:04
may know from the past that
6:08
all seem to do pretty well.
6:10
So congratulations to all them.
6:12
Yep.
6:15
So now before we get to the individual,
6:19
let's talk about the issues of the day.
6:25
There were issues.
6:28
So when you're given
6:30
instructions in an email, okay,
6:35
so we apply for media credentials,
6:37
correct?
6:38
Yes.
6:40
Those media credentials were
6:41
delayed until two weeks
6:42
before the West Coast Classic.
6:44
Okay.
6:47
We get them,
6:48
and then we get instructions
6:50
later about what to expect
6:52
on the weekend where you appear.
6:57
In those instructions,
6:58
it says you will have
7:00
access to the media pit,
7:04
you'll have access to the athlete lounge,
7:07
and you'll have access to
7:08
the athlete warm-up, not warm-up area,
7:13
the athlete village.
7:15
Yeah, which is, I believe,
7:17
contains the warm-up area,
7:18
so you just can't get out of there.
7:20
So...
7:24
Then when we got there and
7:25
we were given the tour, we were told,
7:28
when an athlete comes off the floor,
7:30
if you would like to interview them,
7:32
just grab them and take
7:33
them back to the athlete lounge,
7:37
which Jamie and I did
7:39
consistently all day today until,
7:44
and I will say she is a volunteer,
7:50
Little Miss Puffy Pants,
7:53
came up to me and said that
7:56
I could no longer grab
7:58
athletes in the hallway or
8:02
the corridor from the floor
8:04
the competitive floor that
8:07
went back to the open area
8:09
where we could get to at
8:10
the athlete lounge that we
8:13
that was restricted we
8:14
weren't allowed there
8:16
I informed her that we were
8:19
given a tour by the head of
8:21
media and told this is the
8:23
process for doing what we
8:27
are supposed to do.
8:28
So she went and got security.
8:31
Did I act in any way that
8:36
needed security to be
8:38
gotten and brought over?
8:42
She clearly felt threatened, Scott.
8:46
I mean,
8:47
there was definitely some wires
8:48
crossed somewhere.
8:49
I get your frustration.
8:50
I wouldn't even be
8:53
frustrated with her so much.
8:55
The whole thing is just a little silly.
8:58
It's more so that rules
9:02
apply to some and not all.
9:05
I'm getting there.
9:05
I'm getting to that.
9:06
I wouldn't throw that under the bus.
9:09
She thinks she's doing one
9:10
thing because... Okay.
9:12
Let's let the viewers decide.
9:14
So...
9:17
We walk away after talking
9:20
to security and I let them
9:22
know that the head of media
9:24
for the event and the head
9:25
of media for CrossFit told
9:27
us where we could be and
9:29
the process for doing it.
9:31
We go up to the media room.
9:34
Get up there.
9:36
The head of media for the
9:37
event comes to talk to us, says, hey,
9:41
that corridor is getting too crowded.
9:43
We can't let anybody be in that corridor.
9:46
So we just need you to grab them.
9:49
And he showed me a picture
9:51
of a curtained area.
9:53
He said, you could do the interview there.
9:54
I said, with all due respect.
9:57
that area is loud can we
9:59
continue to take them back
10:01
to the back where it's
10:02
quiet and get a good
10:03
interview oh yeah yeah
10:05
that'd be fine went back
10:08
down attempted to do that
10:11
miss puffy pants said again
10:13
that I could no longer take
10:15
the athletes to the back I
10:17
had to do it in this
10:18
curtained area yeah she heard one thing
10:24
I kind of understand
10:25
probably where she was coming from.
10:27
She held it literal.
10:30
I understand what you're saying.
10:32
However,
10:32
every other media outlet was still
10:36
allowed in the corridor
10:38
that we were told not to be
10:39
in and doing the interviews
10:43
in the corridor that we
10:44
were told we were not to be in.
10:46
We followed the rules.
10:48
We talked to the people in charge.
10:50
We did what we were told.
10:52
And we got picked on continuously.
10:57
Yeah,
10:57
it does feel like we get picked on a
10:58
little bit.
10:59
That's why it is Miss Puffy Pants.
11:03
At her fault.
11:05
Because she was blatantly picking on us.
11:11
It feels that way sometimes.
11:13
We just got to keep keeping on and...
11:21
I understand your frustration,
11:23
but we just got to get the
11:24
athletes and do our job and
11:26
move to the back.
11:28
So I am sick and tired of
11:34
Lauren Khalil getting to do
11:35
whatever she wants to do at
11:37
an event and us always
11:41
being the one picked on
11:44
that are not allowed to do
11:45
anything remotely close to
11:47
what she is doing.
11:51
And I'm done hiding her name
11:53
from all of my issues.
11:55
It happens at every freaking event.
12:01
Yeah, I can't quite figure it out.
12:02
I don't know if it's because
12:03
she seems to have different
12:04
roles at each event and
12:09
people can't quite figure
12:10
out exactly what her role is.
12:12
So they just don't even...
12:16
Try.
12:17
And after we were talked to
12:18
and asked to change, they continued.
12:23
Her and Patrick Clark did
12:25
interviews in the corridor
12:27
that was forbidden.
12:31
And what that does is gives
12:33
them first access to grab
12:35
every athlete and we just
12:37
get whatever is left.
12:43
Yeah.
12:44
Which is fine.
12:47
which is fine because they
12:50
always pick the front
12:50
runner and we have always
12:53
backed all the rest of the
12:55
athletes anyway.
12:56
Yeah.
12:56
We rarely try to grab the
13:00
first place winner.
13:02
But yeah, in the earlier heats,
13:04
we try to get like an event
13:05
winner and talk to them.
13:07
And sometimes that goes our way.
13:09
Sometimes it doesn't.
13:11
So Holly says,
13:12
I guess I always assumed she
13:15
was more official somehow.
13:19
I think that is the major problem, Holly.
13:21
I think most people assume that,
13:23
and that's why nobody says
13:25
anything to her.
13:28
She is not a part of the
13:28
broadcast this weekend.
13:31
She has the exact same one
13:34
of these that Jamie and I do.
13:39
She got the same email we got,
13:42
and her picture was taken
13:43
in the example given of
13:45
what can and cannot happen.
13:56
And you can back me up, Jamie.
13:59
The head of media for the
14:00
syndicate crowd said
14:02
absolutely nobody other
14:04
than medical was allowed to
14:06
hang out in that corridor.
14:08
He said that,
14:09
but I didn't see any follow
14:10
through on that.
14:13
That's what pisses me off.
14:15
And I told him it felt like
14:17
we were being targeted.
14:18
It was always us that got
14:20
pointed to and told to leave.
14:23
And he said to me, that is not the case.
14:27
Yet it even continued after that.
14:32
Yeah,
14:32
it happened right up until basically
14:34
the last event.
14:36
so got that rant off my
14:39
chest there you go I didn't
14:43
know you were gonna go
14:43
there at all maybe we'll
14:47
see you guys tomorrow maybe
14:47
we won't yeah maybe this
14:50
gets taken away I'll be
14:54
with rich at the hotel
14:55
across the street yeah all
15:01
right so we had two events
15:03
today on the individual side yep
15:06
It started with double unders.
15:10
Yep.
15:12
Going into toes to bar.
15:15
Into front squat.
15:17
Front squats.
15:18
Really?
15:19
Yeah.
15:20
Yeah, that's it.
15:20
Yeah, that's the workout.
15:22
Okay.
15:24
Start with the women.
15:26
This air conditioners can be.
15:28
Okay, go with the men.
15:31
The men started today, right?
15:33
Sure.
15:33
Okay.
15:34
Give me your perceptions.
15:35
I got to blow my nose again.
15:36
Okay.
15:37
My perceptions on this workout.
15:41
Um, I think,
15:46
I think everyone went out hot
15:48
and got wrapped up in
15:52
whatever lead pace got set.
15:56
And then round four basically imploded.
16:00
Like the last, like the last round,
16:03
was the slowest round for
16:05
basically everybody.
16:06
Yeah, I don't know.
16:16
Any surprises on the good
16:19
side for this one?
16:24
I mean,
16:24
we both said Hatfield would do well
16:27
in this one.
16:28
We both said Hatfield would
16:29
do well in this one with
16:32
the shorter levers.
16:34
And he did really well.
16:38
I mean, yeah, he did really, really well.
16:43
Was that your pick?
16:45
He was not.
16:46
Okay.
16:46
Remember, mine was the disaster pick.
16:49
Correct.
16:50
Yeah, so that's your guess.
16:51
I picked Hatfield.
16:52
I was thoroughly impressed with him.
16:55
He had a huge cheering section,
16:58
and it was awesome to watch,
16:59
and he got the crowd going
17:00
in that fifth round.
17:04
Yeah, he was fun to watch.
17:06
It was just a good race in general.
17:10
And even the Jeff Adlers and
17:12
the Roman Kretikovs
17:16
couldn't keep up with him.
17:16
Nope.
17:19
at all so uh yeah he pretty
17:21
much dominated that one
17:22
like colt did in the west
17:27
yep I picked will borad
17:29
correct went back around
17:32
the corner to grab an
17:33
interview and there's will
17:35
on the ground with medical
17:38
and we soon found out after
17:39
that that will had been
17:41
withdrawn from the
17:41
competition super bummed about that
17:47
Super pumped.
17:48
I was hoping he would get to
17:50
do the double.
17:51
Yeah.
17:52
I mean, I had picked him in my top 11.
17:56
I had him sitting 11th on the bubble,
18:00
basically,
18:02
thinking that he would be the
18:04
one athlete to do Masters and individual,
18:08
but nope.
18:10
Nope.
18:14
Yeah, so I knew something was wrong,
18:16
but he didn't do well in that event.
18:18
He started out great.
18:21
Yeah, but he lagged hard.
18:22
Yeah, I don't know.
18:26
We didn't hear what the injury was.
18:27
Don't know, like, knee, quad, who knows?
18:31
Anything.
18:32
Yeah.
18:35
There was no significant
18:37
clue for what was happening
18:39
with medical to know what was happening.
18:40
Yeah.
18:43
So I'll be curious if anyone
18:44
got any inside scoop
18:46
anywhere on any of the other podcasts.
18:51
Holly said he made a post
18:52
about his hip flaring up.
18:57
That's why Holly's the best
18:58
stats and info person in the business.
19:00
Interesting.
19:03
Well, hopefully it's... I mean,
19:05
hopefully he pulled out to just...
19:12
stop any further injury and
19:15
can still do masters I hope
19:17
he didn't like actually
19:18
yeah me too so yeah that
19:25
was probably the biggest
19:26
disappointment um jack
19:29
farlow with another
19:30
underwhelming performance
19:33
yeah he just looks so
19:37
It's weird to say this,
19:38
but he looks so thin to me
19:40
because he's clearly ripped,
19:44
but he just looks so thin,
19:46
like frail to me.
19:49
I know it doesn't make sense.
19:52
Yeah, he does.
19:53
He looks smaller.
19:57
And he looked like he, I mean,
19:59
he just like runs out of juice.
20:01
I don't know if he's going
20:01
out too hot and isn't,
20:05
he's just trying to keep up with the,
20:06
with people that he just
20:07
shouldn't be keeping up with.
20:08
And I'm not sure, but like so far,
20:11
every event he started hot and imploded.
20:15
Yeah, it's baffling.
20:19
It's almost like,
20:20
here's this guy that could
20:22
lift the house.
20:24
Let's make you more of a gymnast.
20:27
And maybe we overcorrected.
20:30
Well,
20:30
I guess we're going to see in the
20:31
snatch tomorrow.
20:33
True, true.
20:34
That will be very telling.
20:37
He'll have to do it from heat one.
20:39
Yeah, that sucks.
20:41
Not that, I mean,
20:42
not that that hasn't happened.
20:44
Well, not a win,
20:45
but we've seen some top
20:46
performances out of early heats.
20:51
So, Aaron,
20:52
are you saying Will Borad said
20:55
injuries or Jack Farlow?
20:56
I think that's, those are pretty much my,
21:08
the pleasant surprise was Hatfield.
21:11
And then Farlow and Morad
21:12
were my disappointments.
21:15
Yeah.
21:15
I talked to Taylor after that event.
21:18
Well,
21:18
I guess I talked to Taylor at the end,
21:19
but he had said 20, what, 22nd,
21:24
27th in that event was his expectation.
21:27
I think it was 28th.
21:28
So basically did what he, I mean,
21:33
I feel like it was the
21:34
damage control event and I
21:37
thought he looked good out there.
21:40
Yeah,
21:40
I talked to Saxon Pancheck after that
21:42
event, which is out on our IG.
21:46
He looks good, man.
21:47
He looks really good this weekend.
21:50
He's like just a tick behind
21:53
the Roman Adler show.
21:56
Yeah, he's crushing it.
21:58
After that event, I talked to Jack Rosema,
22:00
who is, I feel like he's doing great.
22:04
He was my dark horse pick
22:05
for this week to make the games.
22:07
He is sitting one spot out.
22:09
Mm-hmm.
22:11
One spot.
22:14
Yeah,
22:14
he sounds like he's in a good headspace.
22:17
Yeah.
22:18
I think the next workouts
22:20
will be good for him.
22:22
Agree.
22:25
So let's flip to the women's
22:27
side on that event.
22:28
Okay.
22:29
Started with a blowout in
22:32
Heat 1 with Miss Annika Greer.
22:36
Yep, Annika had to...
22:39
I mean,
22:39
she has to crawl her way up from
22:42
that run event and she's
22:44
doing everything she can.
22:45
It was, it was a great performance.
22:47
She looked, well, you talked to her.
22:52
I did after event three.
22:54
I think, I mean,
22:55
you said she talked about how.
22:58
this, like she can run her own race.
23:01
And that's really,
23:02
I feel like that's what's
23:03
happening is that's what
23:04
athletes aren't doing.
23:05
They're getting caught up in
23:06
these races and they're going too fast.
23:07
And she didn't have that
23:09
pressure and she had great pacing.
23:15
She looked great through round five.
23:16
Not everyone looked great
23:17
through round five.
23:19
Yeah.
23:20
I can't wait to get this
23:21
interview out because it's very raw and
23:26
Very big self-reflection.
23:31
And this weekend has been a
23:32
roller coaster for her with
23:33
the start on the event one,
23:36
not living up to the
23:37
expectation she set for
23:39
herself and made her
23:42
question herself a lot on Friday night.
23:46
And then Saturday having
23:49
this event where she ends
23:50
up finishing fourth out of heat one.
23:57
She set the time to beat,
23:58
and then Lexi Neely,
24:01
who I talked to as well,
24:05
she beat that time barely.
24:07
And Lexi ended up in second.
24:11
Annika ended up in fourth,
24:12
both out of the first two heats.
24:14
Yeah, crazy.
24:15
Huge surprises there.
24:19
And then...
24:20
So Heat 3 went that had
24:22
Alexis in it and you had a
24:24
little bit of a race there
24:26
with Alexis and Fee.
24:29
Who else was fighting in that one?
24:30
I feel like there was three
24:32
of them together for a while.
24:36
So that was this morning.
24:37
That was a long time ago.
24:38
Shelby Deal?
24:41
Yeah,
24:42
I think Shelby might have been with
24:43
them in this one.
24:43
Because you talked to her
24:44
after this event.
24:47
Yes, correct.
24:52
So, yeah,
24:53
that was a good race that Tia
24:56
came to the final and did what she does.
25:01
Anything to say there?
25:04
No.
25:08
It was a tough one to watch
25:09
Haley fight through.
25:13
I was shocked how she went
25:17
from what she did in event
25:18
one to the fall off to event two.
25:26
Yeah, I would have,
25:28
I would have thought her
25:29
strength would have climbed
25:33
enough to get through this.
25:34
Cause it didn't that front
25:36
squat didn't seem to affect
25:40
really anyone.
25:42
Um,
25:44
And Kaylee's known for being able to move,
25:46
like, 80% weight well.
25:49
And her fitness usually is
25:51
enough to overcome it.
25:52
And total bar and dubs are
25:54
going to be no issue for her.
25:55
So I was very surprised.
25:59
Yeah, I was really surprised.
26:01
Kenneth says, Paige,
26:02
the meds are killing it all day today.
26:04
And there's our friend Lynn.
26:06
Yeah, we got to meet Lynn today, twice.
26:08
On the way in and on the way out.
26:13
So cool to meet everybody.
26:14
It is.
26:15
Yeah, Paige is just building blocks,
26:21
building bricks,
26:21
whatever you want to call it.
26:23
She's fortifying herself a
26:25
spot brick by brick.
26:31
Typical Paige, not super flashy,
26:33
but just getting the job done.
26:34
Yeah.
26:35
All top ten performances.
26:37
Yeah.
26:42
So, yeah, so Tia wins that.
26:45
Second place was Erica Folo.
26:48
Yeah.
26:50
Third was, or no, second was Lexi Neely,
26:54
then Erica Folo, then Audica Greer.
26:57
And then Emma, I think.
27:02
Yeah, Emma's having a quietly,
27:05
really solid weekend.
27:06
Yeah.
27:09
Yeah.
27:11
Lynn was our escort in and out.
27:13
She sure was.
27:15
She may have caught my
27:16
co-host doing something illegal,
27:19
but we will pay her some
27:23
hush money to make sure
27:25
that nothing is said.
27:32
All right,
27:32
so let's go to event three with the bed.
27:34
That is the rope climb,
27:36
echo bike rope climb,
27:38
box jump over rope climb event.
27:40
Oh, my goodness.
27:43
So many good races.
27:46
So many good races.
27:49
Yeah.
27:54
Oh, you know,
27:55
you didn't talk about Will
27:57
Carter in event two out of what, first,
28:02
second heat?
28:03
Yeah.
28:04
That was an amazing performance.
28:07
It was.
28:08
I didn't really even know who that guy was,
28:10
so you had to... So Will Carter,
28:16
I believe,
28:19
is the guy who showed up on
28:21
Kill Taylor in the sombrero and the...
28:27
I don't even know what they're called.
28:29
The poncho thing.
28:30
Yeah.
28:31
With Joe Piero to take on Kale Taylor.
28:37
And Will Carter won an event, right?
28:40
Did he win it?
28:42
If he did win, he took second.
28:44
Yeah.
28:45
It was a crazy time.
28:46
I mean, yeah, it was a crazy time.
28:49
He may have won it.
28:50
I don't know.
28:52
Yeah.
28:54
Like I said, a long time ago this morning.
28:55
That was like 9 a.m.
28:59
Yeah.
29:00
So then we go to the next event,
29:02
rope climb, bike and all that stuff.
29:06
Farlo actually, Holly says fourth.
29:08
Okay.
29:12
Rope climb and all that stuff.
29:14
Farlo starts to look good again.
29:18
He starts to look good every time.
29:19
It's because he goes out hot
29:21
and so he looks like he's doing good.
29:23
He's at the lead,
29:24
and I think he's going out too hot.
29:26
That's just my personal assessment.
29:28
I don't know.
29:30
But, yeah, he looked good through, like,
29:32
three maybe, yeah, probably three rounds.
29:37
And then he just, yeah,
29:38
he just falls apart.
29:41
He's going to be in that heat one tomorrow,
29:43
so I don't know what's going on there.
29:45
Yeah.
29:48
I don't think there were any
29:49
surprises there.
29:52
But I did talk to Marquand
29:53
Jones after heat three.
29:55
He came in third in that heat.
29:59
And he basically was like,
30:01
we all know the big dogs are coming.
30:04
And I don't think that time's good enough.
30:08
He was not wrong.
30:09
He was not wrong.
30:12
Kredikoff, Pepper, Hopper,
30:15
Saxon killed that workout.
30:18
Yeah.
30:21
killed it they may have
30:23
broke the programming yeah
30:26
that was an exciting race um
30:30
I was watching Hopper
30:31
because I was trying to,
30:33
Scott and I sometimes pick
30:34
who we're going to grab
30:36
after a heat and I'll try
30:38
to get like clips,
30:39
little footage clips of
30:41
part of their workout.
30:42
So I was following Hopper on
30:44
that workout and had gotten
30:46
like his sixth round bike
30:49
and box and was on him when
30:51
he went back and
30:53
when he went back to the
30:54
final bike and it like,
30:58
I could see that he was
31:00
turning up the intensity.
31:01
Like he was hammering that bike.
31:02
And I was like, Oh my God.
31:04
And then his judge's hand
31:05
goes up first over Dalen and, uh, Romans,
31:09
which you didn't even realize he,
31:11
I was talking to Scott.
31:12
I had no,
31:13
no clue what happened with Hopper.
31:14
I'm like, because I was trying to,
31:19
I was trying to catch the
31:20
finish of Roman and Dalen.
31:22
Yeah.
31:23
So I'm like, I've got my camera going.
31:26
I'm on, I'm on hopper.
31:28
He gets off the bike.
31:30
So I, and I,
31:31
so I have footage of his rope climb.
31:33
Um,
31:34
he just jumps off that bike and goes
31:35
right for the rope climb.
31:36
And I don't know, good color,
31:40
not gets the note up there.
31:42
That sucks.
31:42
Cause he had that event one.
31:45
I mean,
31:48
Yeah.
31:49
And you and I, like,
31:50
he definitely touches the top,
31:53
but I think the question is
31:55
the leg clamp.
31:56
So somebody,
31:58
so Ken may be on the announcement.
31:59
So we don't know what was called.
32:01
And if Ken saying,
32:02
apparently he touched the shackle,
32:04
not the yellow,
32:05
that is what I thought the
32:06
no rep was for.
32:07
And so I was trying to show
32:09
it to Scott when I was
32:10
trying to tell him what happened.
32:11
Cause I was like,
32:12
Hopper should have won that.
32:15
Cause I think he touched the yellow.
32:18
He definitely touches yellow,
32:20
but he does kind of clamp his legs.
32:24
He does.
32:25
So, and, and first view,
32:28
I saw it as a judge and said,
32:31
that's really close.
32:32
Yeah.
32:32
They weren't calling that on
32:33
anyone though.
32:34
So I don't,
32:35
I didn't think that was what
32:36
the no rep was for.
32:36
Um,
32:38
But either way,
32:39
it was probably a legit no rep.
32:41
So, but it sucks because he totally had,
32:44
like, he paced it almost perfectly.
32:47
I mean, obviously,
32:48
maybe should have taken a
32:49
one-second breather to go
32:51
into that rope climb and
32:51
make sure it was good.
32:53
But, yeah, he had that thing won.
32:56
That was super exciting.
32:58
But...
32:59
My heart couldn't have taken
33:00
a three-way finish.
33:03
It wasn't going to be a three-way finish.
33:06
He was going to be at least
33:08
two box jumps ahead.
33:09
It wouldn't even have come down to a race.
33:14
Now Jeff,
33:15
or the Roman and Dallin finish
33:19
was insane.
33:23
And now we have the
33:25
controversy of the alleged
33:28
no rep for jumping off the box.
33:30
Yeah.
33:30
That did not get called.
33:32
Not alleged.
33:32
It was a jump off the box.
33:41
So, yeah, I don't know.
33:43
That was crazy.
33:45
It was.
33:45
Great finish.
33:49
Dallin got a couple no reps
33:51
that probably cost him that win.
33:52
Yep.
33:55
Just a careless error of
33:57
touching the box with your
33:59
hand when you're not allowed to.
34:05
So...
34:07
There's that.
34:09
But I picked Robin to win this, and he won,
34:12
and I was right.
34:13
I picked Hopper, so I was so disappointed.
34:19
But such an exciting race.
34:21
And Mark Kwan nailed it by
34:23
saying their times are meaningless.
34:27
These big dogs are going to
34:28
go nuts on this event.
34:34
So we don't get to see the
34:35
post-event interviews, Kenneth,
34:37
because we're generally back in the back,
34:42
either with the rules or
34:43
against the rules,
34:45
interviewing an athlete back there.
34:48
So we don't get to see what's broadcast.
34:51
So what happened in that interview?
34:56
It seemed, I mean,
34:56
who did they even interview?
35:00
I thought they were interviewing.
35:01
Oh, they did interview Rome.
35:02
I mean, I saw him out on the
35:06
Oh,
35:06
so they brought both Pepper and Roman
35:08
to the interview.
35:09
I'm sure it was fun.
35:12
Okay, cool.
35:13
Yeah, we'll have to go check that out.
35:17
Then we get to the women.
35:20
And again,
35:21
Annika sets the time to beat the
35:23
heat one.
35:25
This is when I talk to her.
35:26
This is when she talks about
35:27
all the pressure.
35:29
I'll get that out tonight for sure.
35:32
Short and sweet, Robin said,
35:34
I won because I made no mistakes.
35:36
Dalad, we will see, Robin.
35:38
We have another bike event.
35:41
I would clip that and put his.
35:43
I think Hiller already has.
35:45
Oh, good.
35:51
Yeah.
35:53
Yeah, he definitely made a mistake.
35:55
Just didn't get called out for it.
35:57
Yeah.
35:59
So we start with Audica.
36:01
The next heat, is that the Jordan Chefs?
36:06
Yes.
36:07
So she sets the time to beat.
36:11
Then we have the Raptors
36:14
heat that she sets the time to beat.
36:16
Yeah.
36:17
And then we get to the final heat.
36:20
And so my question about this,
36:21
I asked you this on the floor.
36:24
Because you only had one
36:25
event on Friday and it was
36:26
a run-dominant event,
36:30
you get the heats all mixed up now,
36:32
right?
36:34
The seating's all jacked for
36:36
two events today.
36:38
You have Alexis Raptus in
36:39
heat three instead of four.
36:42
You have Audica probably
36:45
lower than she needed to be.
36:48
You have fee at heat three.
36:51
Like it just feels like all messed up.
36:56
I don't think the men are
36:57
really messed up.
37:01
Uh, okay.
37:05
Baby.
37:08
I mean, I don't know.
37:14
It, it,
37:15
it's going to happen one way
37:16
or the other that you're
37:17
going to have seating all
37:18
jacked up from online
37:21
qualifier being way off for the, I mean,
37:23
it,
37:24
it was a problem yesterday for the run
37:25
event, even though that was only two,
37:29
two heats.
37:29
Like you would have said the
37:31
seating wasn't correct there.
37:32
It just, it just happens.
37:34
It's just part of,
37:35
they can't run all 40 at once.
37:39
So, okay.
37:40
So, Alexis, it's time to beat.
37:42
And Tia comes in.
37:44
Tia breaks that time.
37:46
And Tia wins the event.
37:47
Tia breaks 11.
37:49
But so does Haley.
37:51
And Haley is back from event two.
37:52
So, she has a great event, poor event,
37:57
great event.
38:00
How much do you think that is,
38:01
the lack of competition
38:03
reps over the last 18 months for Haley?
38:13
I mean,
38:14
I think she knows she still has
38:16
home runs and still has holes to fix.
38:23
Okay.
38:26
She does seem like she's enjoying it,
38:27
though.
38:29
She does.
38:30
And her coaches and their
38:34
daughter have like princess
38:38
wands or swords that
38:40
they're swinging at the
38:41
finish line for when she finishes.
38:44
And she is smiling and
38:47
waving to the crowd at the
38:48
end of every event.
38:49
Very different Haley than we
38:52
saw 18 months ago.
38:53
Yeah.
38:54
From that perspective, for sure.
39:00
Lynn says she likes the mix
39:02
up of heats because it
39:02
actually keeps some
39:03
interest in all the heats.
39:05
So that's kind of my perspective.
39:08
And I mean, it's kind of why I,
39:10
I like all the heats always at the games.
39:14
I don't like cuts.
39:15
I think there's always
39:16
somebody in a lower heat
39:18
that's going to have a good event.
39:19
And I, I like to see that.
39:23
Yeah.
39:23
This field,
39:25
there's going to be some great
39:26
athletes all the way through.
39:27
Right.
39:28
That isn't the case in other regions.
39:32
That's true.
39:37
So Tia wins again, but Haley's great.
39:42
So now the leaderboard stands.
39:45
I believe it's Tia first,
39:47
Emma Lawson second, Erica Follow third.
39:56
Possibly.
39:57
I think.
39:59
Need another tab on your computer.
40:01
I know.
40:07
But we definitely know Tia's
40:08
winning because she's won
40:09
every single event.
40:11
Yes, correct.
40:12
A couple highlights for the day.
40:16
Crowd was awesome.
40:20
For everything they were saying last week,
40:23
the crowd here was phenomenal.
40:27
The side where the press pit
40:30
is or the press room is,
40:32
that side is full.
40:35
And that doesn't always get
40:36
showed on camera, which is a shame.
40:40
Again,
40:41
let's get the camera on the other side.
40:43
But the other side is pretty full.
40:47
But the first side is packed.
40:51
Yeah, lane 10 side.
40:53
there's a ton of people
40:54
standing on each end they
40:56
have the seats ripped off
40:58
to try to bring them to the
41:00
sides but there are people
41:02
standing at the corridor
41:03
yeah so that's awesome uh
41:09
favorite story of the day um
41:25
That's a good question.
41:29
I have two, so I'll give you one.
41:33
McKenna Enslin tested the
41:35
rope climb event.
41:39
Could not finish the event.
41:40
Came two rounds short of
41:42
finishing it and testing ever.
41:45
Finished it today at the semifinal.
41:49
Got to the end with a huge
41:51
smile on her face and burst into tears.
41:54
Yeah.
41:56
That's what this stuff's about.
42:01
Yeah.
42:02
I mean, yeah, she wasn't,
42:04
I think she was second to
42:06
last in her heat,
42:07
but like the joy on her
42:09
face was incredible.
42:11
And the crowd,
42:12
like her family fans were
42:14
all sitting in the family
42:17
stands at the finish line.
42:19
And like everyone just stood
42:21
up and cheered.
42:22
It was, it was really cool to see.
42:28
um I don't know my last
42:37
one's a funny one I was
42:39
interviewing marquand jones
42:41
we're walking out of the
42:43
athlete lounge marquand is
42:47
greeted by joe piero and
42:50
marquand goes how'd you do
42:51
on that one and he said you
42:53
know me man fight for dead
42:54
last fight for dead last
42:57
I almost caught a guy,
42:59
but then got a good no rep
43:01
on the last rope climb to
43:03
solidify dead last.
43:06
So, you know, we're doing our thing.
43:10
So funny.
43:11
So funny.
43:14
Hi guys, I hope.
43:19
Is Danielle Brandon going to
43:20
have an emotional outburst
43:22
or judge movement by the
43:24
end of the weekend?
43:27
She seems just... I think
43:29
she seems... Rock steady this week.
43:32
Yeah,
43:32
I think she seems... She seems to
43:37
maybe be a little flustered
43:38
or have questions when she
43:39
walks off the floor,
43:40
but her team around her
43:45
seems supportive and
43:46
keeping her head straight,
43:47
and I think she seems
43:49
pretty calm out there, personally.
43:50
She's just doing her thing,
43:51
and she's doing well.
43:56
don't think she'll have an
43:56
outburst but we'll see the
43:58
judging though that's a
44:02
whole nother thing I got my
44:05
ups and downs that's a
44:08
bigger story for another
44:09
day for sure uh what I'll
44:11
say here is that would be
44:17
disappointing for me today
44:18
is two people that I have
44:21
grown to adore this sport
44:23
were had rough days
44:28
Will Moran getting withdrawn.
44:31
Amanda Barnhart just not
44:34
having the upper body
44:35
pulling strength today to compete.
44:39
Yeah.
44:41
And it was tough to watch.
44:45
Yeah.
44:45
Because she is freaking awesome.
44:47
And that shoulder just, I don't think,
44:50
has been recovered enough
44:52
to get the reps in to
44:54
compete at this level right now.
44:56
Mm-hmm.
44:59
Yeah,
44:59
both her and Brooke took a hit in
45:01
that workout a little bit.
45:10
So tomorrow we have three events.
45:13
Yep, starting with the workout four,
45:15
the handstand walk, bro.
45:18
Kenneth,
45:18
this muster room is killing me right now.
45:24
Yeah, he's a mess, Ken.
45:28
so we have the row handstand
45:32
walk to mcgrew can we just
45:35
agree that dan yells would
45:36
he get on the women's side
45:37
yes it's easy pick um who
45:41
you got on the bedside who
45:47
did I put that's a good question um
45:59
I want to say I might've put Dallin.
46:01
I don't know.
46:01
I am between, I have not picked yet.
46:07
I am between Saxon and Roman.
46:15
This was always my tough one for the guys.
46:17
Like I just,
46:18
you don't have a tutor in this field.
46:20
Yeah.
46:22
Yeah.
46:26
So that's, I don't know.
46:29
I'm between Saxon and Roman.
46:30
Yeah, Hopper could do good.
46:36
Snatch ladder?
46:37
There's the new Heat 1 prop
46:39
bet breaking the record set
46:43
by Laura Horvath, 824.
46:47
You think it's getting beat, right?
46:49
Yes.
46:51
I think that's a good call.
46:54
I think Danielle is fast
46:55
enough on her hands and
46:57
strong enough on the road to, to do that.
47:01
Agreed.
47:03
Um, there was another prop that got added.
47:06
Both stay three points.
47:08
Oh, fees to coffee, Taylor self,
47:10
Audica Greer, Tyler Christoffel.
47:16
Yeah.
47:16
We both think Anika has a
47:17
good shot at that one.
47:18
I agree.
47:20
Um,
47:21
the overwhelming pick seems to be going
47:23
towards Taylor.
47:26
72% on Taylor self.
47:29
I'll go with the 17% audit career.
47:30
Okay.
47:34
So we got our men and women
47:36
picks for event for event
47:37
five snatch letter.
47:39
Snatch letter.
47:45
Well, probably Tia,
47:46
but can we pick a second from Tia?
47:49
Yeah.
47:49
Yeah.
47:55
I think Danielle is going to
47:56
do great at it.
47:57
I do too.
48:06
I actually want to say Annika.
48:09
I know she's strong.
48:11
Smaller range of motion.
48:17
That's what I think.
48:18
Okay.
48:18
I like it.
48:20
bernie gannon says the uh
48:23
anglo-saxons and the romans
48:25
have had a centuries-long
48:27
rivalry in my head too
48:31
bernie in my head um okay
48:36
men on the snatch um I
48:48
think it comes down to two
48:55
I feel like,
48:57
I feel like Hatfield has a
48:59
really good shot again, like,
49:01
like a Colton.
49:05
How's Jack's strength?
49:08
Okay.
49:12
And I think,
49:12
I think Dalen could do really well,
49:17
just way more range of motion.
49:19
So he's got to move fast.
49:22
I think Jeffrey Adler is the
49:23
perfect blend of range of
49:26
motion and power.
49:31
He's as strong as all those other guys,
49:33
and he's four inches shorter.
49:36
Yep.
49:37
He's not Austin Hatfield short,
49:40
but he is four inches
49:41
shorter than the rest of them.
49:44
So my pick is between Adler and Hatfield.
49:47
Yeah.
49:49
And I'll probably lead Adler.
49:53
Okay, and then the big old finale.
49:57
Bike, ring muscle up, heavy lunge.
50:02
Women.
50:02
Okay, other than Tia.
50:08
So you made a very
50:10
convincing argument to me today.
50:12
And this is very
50:16
contradictory to my top 12 pick.
50:20
I'm going Brooke Wells.
50:24
Because you argued to me
50:27
that because of her shoulder injury,
50:29
she's not going to be able
50:30
to go unbroken on the muscle-ups,
50:32
so less grip fatigue.
50:34
And once she gets those
50:35
dumbbells in her hand,
50:36
she's not going to stop.
50:40
I don't know if that'll give her a win.
50:42
I just said it may not blow.
50:43
Well,
50:44
it'll give her a win over everybody
50:45
but Tia.
50:46
You think?
50:47
I mean, maybe top.
50:49
Tell me also who had that field.
50:51
Oh, let's see.
51:01
I don't know.
51:02
Strong on the bike that's
51:03
going to have strong lunges.
51:09
I think Alexis is going to do great at it.
51:15
Bernie Gannon said they
51:16
should have three divisions
51:17
in this sport.
51:19
Men's, women's, and TIA.
51:24
Ken says,
51:25
do we see a separation tomorrow
51:28
between two day comp
51:29
capable athletes and three
51:31
day comp capable athletes?
51:32
Yes.
51:36
Yeah.
51:38
And I would say this isn't even, I mean,
51:40
event one was long, but.
51:45
The bulk of the... I mean,
51:47
you got half of your events
51:49
are on day three,
51:49
even if the last one is short.
51:52
And the second one's pretty short.
51:55
So, Lyd says, I like Brooke for the ledges,
51:57
but the muscle-ups maybe don't.
51:59
I think that is what the argument is that
52:03
That Jamie made to me is
52:05
because she cannot do the
52:06
muscle ups unbroken.
52:08
She's going to have to be
52:09
strategic about them and
52:11
break them up because of the breakup.
52:14
She'll have more juice in
52:15
her grip to be able to go
52:17
unbroken on the lodges to
52:19
the end and pass people.
52:22
And you said the same about
52:23
Amanda Barnhart.
52:25
Yeah.
52:26
Yeah.
52:27
I mean,
52:27
they're interchangeable on this
52:28
workout for me.
52:31
And I think my other
52:33
favorite is Danielle Brandon.
52:35
The long strides that she
52:37
could take with those dumbbells.
52:39
She's great at muscle-ups.
52:41
Yeah, that's a good pick.
52:42
Like, beyond good.
52:44
She is great.
52:46
And she's got the body to
52:49
power that bike at the beginning.
52:52
I actually think that might be,
52:55
other than Tia,
52:56
I think she might be second place.
53:01
Yeah, that workout fits her a lot.
53:03
Okay, men.
53:08
Oh, this is our race.
53:11
Dallin, Roman, Apper.
53:15
Do you think it comes down to those three?
53:23
I'm super curious if all
53:24
three of those guys send
53:25
the bike and pull a, what's it, what's it,
53:29
happy line in?
53:33
I mean, we've seen it now twice.
53:40
Pretty much everyone else
53:40
that's tried it has blown
53:42
up and it hasn't been worth it.
53:43
But two people have done it
53:46
and it was worth it.
53:48
Hopalainen and Magda.
53:50
I'd say one of these three
53:52
guys is going to try to break that.
53:57
I don't think any of the...
54:01
I don't think Roman, Hopper,
54:04
or Dallin are good enough
54:06
on their muscle-ups to beat
54:08
Tudor or Hyperline in score.
54:15
I would even say Jeff Adler
54:16
is a little weak on the muscle-up.
54:19
But maybe that,
54:21
then it comes down to this race.
54:23
Then you have someone like
54:24
an Austin Hatfield or a
54:26
Saxon Pancheck come out of
54:28
nowhere and beat them all.
54:32
Because those two are better
54:33
at the muscle-ups.
54:35
Maybe not as good on the bike,
54:39
but how does that tax the
54:41
athletes going into the lunge?
54:43
I don't know.
54:46
I'm taking Saxon.
54:48
Really?
54:49
Yep.
54:51
I'm taking Dallin.
54:54
I think he, I think he wants to redeem.
54:56
I think he just, I mean,
54:58
he like earned it and it
54:59
got taken away from him.
55:00
So I think he's gonna be
55:01
hungry for that win.
55:03
He'll be Roman.
55:05
Perfect.
55:07
Doesn't mean he's going to win the event.
55:13
All right, guys,
55:15
we've gone an hour and I
55:16
didn't think we would be able to do that.
55:18
And man,
55:19
I'm ready to kick this air
55:20
conditioner right out the window.
55:26
Pretty good.
55:26
It says Saxon eats lunches for lunch.
55:28
Good to know.
55:34
I think Saxon is going to
55:35
have a really good day.
55:37
His mindset is so good right now.
55:43
It's just the top of this
55:45
field is freakish.
55:48
If this is going to be fun
55:49
for the next five years.
55:56
agree well guys any any last
56:03
thoughts nope I think holly
56:08
asked if anything ended up
56:09
with that security guard we
56:11
did talk a little bit I
56:13
actually know the guy from
56:15
my volunteer days we've had
56:17
long time friends
56:20
He argued with me a little bit.
56:21
I did back down.
56:23
I said,
56:23
just get Taylor or Chris and ask
56:27
them what the rules were.
56:28
She was talking about
56:29
security with me leaving.
56:34
I don't know.
56:35
I don't think that's what
56:36
she was talking about.
56:37
uh the crime that was
56:40
committed by miss latimer
56:42
we will save uh we don't
56:44
want anything on recorded
56:45
on tape and a bit of guilt
56:50
so all right uh kenneth
56:55
says go get at a history or
56:57
something I took an allegra
57:00
I asked a pro and I did
57:04
hailer before the show
57:08
Anyway, I don't know what's going on.
57:10
I think I'm going to go
57:12
sleep in a lounge chair by
57:13
the pool so Jamie could get some sleep.
57:19
All right.
57:19
With that, everybody, have a great night.
57:22
So glad you could join us.
57:24
We'll be back tomorrow night
57:26

57:28

57:31
and we will talk to you all later.
57:35
