  The. The.
• 1:22
  Welcome to the Spin 7 minutes of Burpees team meet Spin.
• 1:28
  How were they? Yeah, Spin, I didn't see your
• 1:32
  video. What what it was?
• 1:33
  Like there it was the. Very end.
• 1:35
  Oh, OK, I wasn't paying attention.
• 1:36
  Tyler, what's this about? Yeah, it's just whatever.
• 1:41
  I don't, I truly. Don't.
• 1:42
  I'm not angry. I'm I'm completely level headed.
• 1:45
  That's what an angry person would say.
• 1:48
  Yeah, well, Hiller. Hiller made a video.
• 1:51
  We can get into it later maybe. Yeah, maybe we'll we'll stay for
• 1:55
  it. No this.
• 1:56
  Time enough for Jr. and Jr. and I both. 7 minutes of burpees was
• 2:02
  as awful as I remember it. Whatever. 13 years ago, so 12.1.
• 2:10
  Yeah. So the couple, I was wondering
• 2:14
  like I wonder if both like parties of the couple were on
• 2:18
  the same team because I would imagine not.
• 2:20
  So somebody got roped into doing 7 minutes of Barbies that didn't
• 2:24
  have to. Dang, and that I hope the spouse
• 2:27
  was just sitting there and be like, you're doing great babe
• 2:29
  and just just just just a job about it.
• 2:32
  Yeah, no, it's. It wasn't fun, especially since
• 2:36
  I did Andy on Monday so my shoulders were blown up and then
• 2:41
  Hiller's jumping lunges. The day before.
• 2:46
  Bike biker yesterday and so my legs were trashed too, so there
• 2:51
  was nothing fun about that workout.
• 2:54
  So so yeah, good times. I did not beat my score from 13
• 3:00
  years ago, but I also walked out and just started doing it.
• 3:06
  Sorry. What this one?
• 3:09
  Yeah. OK, you guys want to get into
• 3:17
  it. We're going to I mean if you saw
• 3:18
  the the the preview or the the thumbnail, we are going to tell
• 3:21
  you who qualifies out of every single into in person qualifying
• 3:29
  event. We're going to tell you who
• 3:31
  qualifies, all 11 athletes who qualify out of the in affiliate
• 3:35
  semifinals and we'll tell you who qualifies out of the last
• 3:40
  chance qualifier. So.
• 3:42
  Dude, this. I can't wait to get there
• 3:45
  because I think we're going to argue quite a bit.
• 3:48
  Yeah, we're not. We're not giving you our pick.
• 3:50
  Each individual picks. This is going to be a team
• 3:54
  effort. The spin effort, the spin picks.
• 3:57
  I'm sure that John, Tyler and I will all disagree many, many
• 4:01
  times, so stay tuned for that. A new game?
• 4:04
  Name the winner. So Tyler and John don't even
• 4:06
  know what it is. So we'll see how good their
• 4:10
  game's history is. So.
• 4:14
  Oh, good. But this is a game for me.
• 4:16
  It's going. To be like that, that metrics
• 4:18
  game where we guess like how how much you could clean, yeah.
• 4:21
  Yeah, yeah, yeah. Listen, I'm going to get every
• 4:23
  single answer right. And then the one I don't know,
• 4:26
  Tyler will name the date of birth of this woman athlete like
• 4:30
  exactly on the head. That's what.
• 4:32
  That's what. As long as it's Marcus Hedren,
• 4:34
  I'll kill it. Yeah, I actually have some
• 4:37
  pretty big grid news too. So whenever Spin wants, if we
• 4:42
  want to do that at the end of the show or in the beginning of
• 4:44
  the show, it's it's pretty big news.
• 4:48
  We got to keep them, we got to keep them waiting and it better
• 4:51
  be good then. No, no, no, it's it's good.
• 4:53
  OK y'all, It's good all. Right, let's get into some
• 4:56
  viewer comments and then we'll get into the rest of the story.
• 5:00
  First of all, if you guys, what's that?
• 5:03
  Mister Kotler? Yeah, this is a reminder.
• 5:07
  If you're not following, subscribe, do that now.
• 5:09
  And then also if you're watching after the fact, drop a comment
• 5:12
  in decent amount of comments, but there weren't as many that
• 5:16
  were controversial this time. So let us have it.
• 5:19
  But there was one at Justin Kotler.
• 5:22
  Love the Alex Gazan shade. Keep it coming spin.
• 5:25
  You didn't like my comment about Alex being too high on the
• 5:29
  mountain, so we'll see. I remember going back and
• 5:34
  checking what I said because I was like, I don't want to piss
• 5:36
  off Kotler. I mean to to John's, what have
• 5:44
  you done lately? That was my whole point.
• 5:46
  John's like. You were playing to John's
• 5:49
  system, not necessarily what you thought about Alex.
• 5:52
  No, I mean, I think she has potential.
• 5:54
  But if you're going to say that she's that high up in the
• 5:55
  mountain, you've got, I mean, you look at what Ariel is done
• 5:59
  at Rogue and at Wadapalooza. And what did Ariel do at Water
• 6:06
  Palooza? I don't even know what she did
• 6:07
  at Water Palooza. What if she did?
• 6:08
  Exactly, she freaking did. Bad trash, bad if anything.
• 6:13
  Alex didn't. Alex didn't even compete.
• 6:15
  It it helps you more, it helps you more the trashness that
• 6:19
  Ariel Lowen brought to Water Palooza than not doing it.
• 6:23
  OK, just with. See, no offense to Ariel, I'm
• 6:25
  still a big fan. Trash, Sir.
• 6:29
  And then he's like, yeah. Sorry.
• 6:31
  I love Ariel, but yeah, yeah, I I would, yeah.
• 6:36
  Maybe Ariel have done better at Wadapalooza if she if that barn
• 6:40
  had been built by Dylan by now. That's that's true.
• 6:43
  It is Dylan's fault. I agree with that.
• 6:45
  I put Hatfield on the mountain on sheer potential before he did
• 6:49
  anything and I got so much crap for it and what came to pass.
• 6:54
  Listen, usually, typically this happens a lot.
• 6:57
  I'm like 2 years early to what's going to happen to the party and
• 7:00
  everybody thinks I'm ridiculous and then it happens.
• 7:03
  It happened with Justin Medeiros.
• 7:05
  On the negative side, everybody was singing Justin's praises and
• 7:09
  I said, guys, it's not all that. And then all of you dumped on
• 7:11
  him and now I'm the freaking Justin Medeiros, like her, and I
• 7:15
  don't want to be that guy. He's got pink hair, the and then
• 7:19
  it and. I'm.
• 7:21
  Telling I'm telling I'm just early to the party on a lot of
• 7:24
  these people, but y'all are going to figure out when to be
• 7:28
  like maybe we'll just, you know, not argue with them and see what
• 7:31
  happens. And then when I'm and then when
• 7:33
  I'm wrong. When I'm wrong, you know, you
• 7:36
  can point it out, OK? Fair enough.
• 7:38
  You, you can go easy on me. No, no.
• 7:41
  No, you can go hard on me. I'm not wrong very often.
• 7:43
  I you go hard as you want when I'm wrong.
• 7:46
  OK, got it. Very often.
• 7:49
  We'll find out here soon. Christian Kettler.
• 7:52
  It's a much better marketing move to pay for a Hyrox
• 7:56
  affiliation right now. At least.
• 7:58
  People like Hyrox. The WFP is AG 5 compared to
• 8:03
  Hyrox at AG3 using Tyler's scale.
• 8:07
  It's AG scale. I used the G scale several times
• 8:10
  this week. There you go, I'm.
• 8:13
  Before, before we go to the next comment, I I have to address
• 8:16
  this. I'm sorry, Spin.
• 8:17
  Hey, Ortega, go watch. Be friendly, OK?
• 8:23
  You don't. You don't like my mountain.
• 8:25
  I don't want you here, OK? Another comment like that.
• 8:29
  You can get wrenched up so quick, OK?
• 8:31
  If you don't have to like me, you could say whatever you want
• 8:36
  about me. I've heard it all.
• 8:38
  Call me the Goonies guy. Call me freaking freaking Ingrid
• 8:44
  from Missouri or or whatever. Whatever.
• 8:46
  It doesn't. Doesn't what else you got?
• 8:48
  Hey. You go down, go watch, go find
• 8:53
  the strong woman post on spin and just recite that stuff
• 8:56
  because they said they called me everything.
• 8:57
  You can freaking call me, OK? You can.
• 9:00
  You can come at me. I'm 30, OK?
• 9:02
  Come at me, come at the Tappan. Knot, insult the mountain.
• 9:07
  OK, Ortega, I'm I'm talking. I wish you would.
• 9:11
  You're going to be out of here so quick.
• 9:13
  Ask Magnus. OK.
• 9:15
  Ask PC. You can and if you're going to
• 9:18
  disagree, come at it with something, say it's it's bad
• 9:21
  because he should have had this or should have.
• 9:23
  You can't just have this this ridiculous, low freaking in
• 9:29
  thought of insult. I'm so upset by this.
• 9:33
  I was not upset. Now I'm upset.
• 9:35
  I'm I'm Tyler was angry and now I am angry and spin is just
• 9:40
  going to have to deal with this freaking angry Ness.
• 9:45
  The angry panel. I will say, if you do get
• 9:47
  wrenched up, it takes a long time to get unwrenched because I
• 9:50
  can't figure out how. To we don't even know how to
• 9:52
  bring you back. OK, Yeah.
• 9:56
  We hold a dangerous weapon. Magnus is back though.
• 9:59
  Yeah, yeah, but Magnus was out for a few weeks.
• 10:02
  PCs still not back. I have to figure that out again.
• 10:07
  Jeremy Riley. Glad Lucy was on that row way up
• 10:10
  there high on the mountain. Thought you had left her off the
• 10:13
  mountain at one point. I think she's a lock for the
• 10:17
  podium. That's cool.
• 10:19
  I don't think so, but I thank you for that comment.
• 10:22
  She's got there for a for a fun time, not a long time, yeah.
• 10:25
  Christian Kettler said It's if it's if it's a heavy games, then
• 10:28
  no. If it's if there's a swim and
• 10:30
  it's not super heavy games, then yes.
• 10:33
  And like. If a one of those is out.
• 10:35
  I honestly. The she podium if it's the same
• 10:37
  program as last year. Yeah, I think so, yeah.
• 10:41
  With everybody, With everybody still in it.
• 10:44
  Yeah. Oh, oh, everybody's still in it.
• 10:46
  Everybody. 'S still in it.
• 10:48
  Of the people that are currently in it right now, I say I say
• 10:52
  yes. Wow.
• 10:55
  But I think I I also think, I don't think Lucy even knew how
• 11:00
  she got that high on the mountain.
• 11:02
  I think she's like, I don't know how I got here.
• 11:04
  I'm not supposed to be here. I'm a little afraid of the
• 11:07
  heights right now. OK, But but whether she's like,
• 11:13
  you know what, F that fear, I'm going to keep climbing or I'm
• 11:18
  going to jump off because I'm too scared.
• 11:20
  We'll see what happens. What?
• 11:21
  What did Lucy say? She she wanted to go to Indy and
• 11:25
  she was looking for lakes and mountains.
• 11:27
  So she's a fan of mountains. John had to inform her that that
• 11:32
  ain't in Indy. You're far away from lakes and
• 11:37
  and it or mountains and and lakes aren't that great around.
• 11:40
  There, Indiana's about as flat as Florida.
• 11:42
  Lucy. Yeah.
• 11:43
  Yeah, it's not great at Boss man AUS, Australia maybe, I don't
• 11:48
  know, Not having any social media, the only time I hear
• 11:51
  about the WTF is when you and other podcasters talk about it.
• 11:56
  For me, I wouldn't have a clue about it if you guys didn't
• 12:00
  cover it. You're welcome.
• 12:03
  Maybe if you stop talking about it, it might disappear.
• 12:08
  Morgan Freeman, great quote. What is Michael Scott say green
• 12:13
  means? Go ahead and.
• 12:14
  And stop talking about it. Yeah.
• 12:19
  And for people who don't know the WTF, that's what they call
• 12:23
  it, right? Is is the World Fitness Project.
• 12:27
  The Big W. We're not going to not talk
• 12:30
  about it. It's CrossFit.
• 12:32
  We're going to cover it. We just think it's dumb.
• 12:35
  Is it CrossFit? OK, like, listen, this is how
• 12:39
  this is what happens. Listen, Spin tells me, look at
• 12:43
  all these people are in Dubai and I say, yeah, it's nobody.
• 12:47
  And then we're done covering it. That's what that's how it
• 12:50
  happens. And then and then if you want
• 12:52
  freaking, I don't know, the Norwegian CrossFit Championship,
• 12:57
  you can go watch that on another podcast.
• 12:59
  That's all they cover is, is competitions.
• 13:02
  It's competitions nobody cares about.
• 13:04
  OK, Like that's not that's not what we're going to do.
• 13:06
  We're here for what matters, OK? And we will cover it.
• 13:11
  We just don't think it's good. That's something.
• 13:16
  Am I? Am I?
• 13:16
  Am I on the line or off the line about that spin?
• 13:21
  No, you're you're accurate, I don't think.
• 13:23
  And it could be good. I'm trying to be optimistic
• 13:25
  about it. I think it could be good.
• 13:27
  It's just everything that's run about it just is super shady.
• 13:32
  But I hope it's good. It's good for the athletes.
• 13:34
  Hiller, Hiller, I told you. I thought you didn't cuss,
• 13:38
  Hiller. Yeah, you did say that man.
• 13:41
  You. Said it today.
• 13:47
  Oh man. Tyler does say it, but it does
• 13:50
  say it though. You know it.
• 13:53
  It means something more. Here's.
• 13:55
  Go, go ahead, Tyler. We don't have I, I was thinking
• 14:01
  about this driving around today because I got to wash the car.
• 14:03
  So it's like mowing day. Yeah, the, the idea, the essence
• 14:12
  of what the WFP could be is actually a good idea.
• 14:15
  It's the implementation stuff that we've had all the problems
• 14:19
  with. And so it's like, I think people
• 14:22
  are like, why do you guys hate them?
• 14:23
  It's like, no, we don't hate them.
• 14:25
  We've hate all the actions that have been made.
• 14:32
  Yes, I also I find it hypocritical of the athletes who
• 14:36
  say we just want more more opportunities to compete in ways
• 14:41
  to make money, but yet but yet they won't compete in Dubai
• 14:46
  anymore. They half of them don't go to
• 14:48
  Watapalooza like the females. The female roster individuals at
• 14:54
  Tijuana Palooza the last two years, the last two years, not
• 14:57
  this past year was absolute trash.
• 15:02
  Like Danny Spiegel is the best going into it.
• 15:04
  Was it 2-3 years ago? Last year got a little better
• 15:08
  because some of the women were like, that's true.
• 15:15
  I think this was well said. Whoever said that I did that
• 15:19
  comment fits with the with the narrative that we're talking
• 15:21
  about. And and athletes didn't do it
• 15:24
  right. There were opportunities to
• 15:25
  compete. Who goes to TFX?
• 15:28
  Nobody. I went to TFX.
• 15:32
  And if you go watch Jason CF Media interview with BKG today,
• 15:36
  it's wild like the first that. Was today.
• 15:41
  That was today, yeah. OK, I thought that was an old
• 15:43
  one. No.
• 15:44
  And BKG was talking about how he loves the the WFP.
• 15:49
  Like, I don't know why anybody would hate it.
• 15:51
  It's more opportunities to see athletes compete.
• 15:53
  It's what we've wanted. He then later says, well, I
• 15:58
  can't do Wadlin Fest because that would be Wadlin Fest
• 16:00
  semifinals and then WFP in Indianapolis.
• 16:03
  That's too much. And then at the very end he
• 16:07
  starts recapping like like the second season, right?
• 16:11
  So hopefully he qualifies for the games and he goes, I'll
• 16:15
  compete at the Games in August and then a couple weeks later
• 16:17
  I'll go to Arizona for the second tour event and then I'll
• 16:21
  go to Rogue. He's skipping out if he's, I
• 16:24
  don't even know if he's going to go to Waterplooza Socal, but
• 16:28
  Rogue. And then in December he'll go to
• 16:30
  the finals. And then it hit him.
• 16:33
  He's like, this is the first time that I've thought about it
• 16:37
  and that's a lot of competing. I might have to retire after
• 16:39
  this season. So he just said yes, he's like,
• 16:43
  yeah. And then he's like, that's
• 16:45
  crazy, like. And Spin's been saying this for
• 16:48
  months. Like he's like, you know, four
• 16:50
  months ago Spin was like, guys, I don't think you understand
• 16:54
  what this means. Like and.
• 16:56
  And then and then podcast in Iceland.
• 16:59
  And OK, and then and Glee, Glee hit it on the head.
• 17:02
  And I feel like we've been saying this forever.
• 17:04
  And that's why. And I don't even think we're
• 17:06
  against it. We're against how how they're
• 17:09
  going about it. You know, like Glee's is the
• 17:12
  biggest problem for me with WFP is to claim they don't want to
• 17:15
  compete with the Games. And everything that they do
• 17:19
  contradicts that. What's out there, John?
• 17:23
  No, some dudes in my parking. Lot what's out there all right.
• 17:29
  Yeah, not there was a no, OK there.
• 17:33
  There is a burglar that was running around.
• 17:36
  That was the street behind us and we got like an e-mail about
• 17:38
  it, like, and there was a helicopter like it was a kind of
• 17:41
  a big deal. And you live in John.
• 17:44
  And it was Houston and it was, it was a street.
• 17:48
  It was a street behind us. And I was real mad about it
• 17:53
  because I had to carry groceries in and the door was locked and I
• 17:55
  had so many groceries were scared and I was like open the
• 17:59
  freaking. Door.
• 18:00
  Why the door locked? And then she's like.
• 18:01
  They're going to give me Leslie. There's a burglar and no, no, I
• 18:05
  didn't know about this burglar. And.
• 18:07
  And well, it's such a weird burglar.
• 18:10
  Oh, I wouldn't. I wouldn't.
• 18:13
  Yeah, because I can't open the door.
• 18:15
  I can't unlock it because my hands are full, Tyler.
• 18:18
  And I'm just sitting there looking like a freaking Girl
• 18:21
  Scout just waiting for somebody opened the door and she's got
• 18:24
  the baby, right? I know it's going to be a while
• 18:27
  before this door gets open. And so I put all the freaking
• 18:30
  groceries down and top the freaking unlock code to unlock
• 18:33
  the door and then have to get all the groceries again, which
• 18:37
  is a whole system because she's scared of this burglar.
• 18:42
  I wish they would have titled it like Murderer, like there's like
• 18:47
  Burglar. I think of the Hamburglar.
• 18:49
  I'm just not scared of burglar, right?
• 18:53
  Anyway, I don't know how I kept on.
• 19:00
  That my nuggies. Let me in.
• 19:05
  That's what he was. After what?
• 19:06
  What? What?
• 19:06
  Were we talking about? I forgot I had a I don't know
• 19:11
  how I got. On 1st there's money keeping it
• 19:13
  real 499 thank. You no, no, I had AI had a
• 19:16
  reason for that and and. No, you're looking out the
• 19:19
  window. You.
• 19:19
  Just got. Sidetracked.
• 19:20
  Oh, OK, yes, yes, yes. I was looking out the window
• 19:23
  because of this. There's there's stuff going on.
• 19:25
  So I was making sure nothing, it's fine.
• 19:26
  It's the neighbors. I heard a lot of excuses, but
• 19:29
  not a lot of this is how many burpees I had Spin.
• 19:32
  That doesn't matter. It wasn't competition it was
• 19:36
  getting. It was getting the seven minutes
• 19:37
  of burpees done. He's training, he's not
• 19:39
  competing. I.
• 19:40
  Literally went outside, I walked in the garage, I did 7 minutes
• 19:45
  of burpees and I walked back inside.
• 19:48
  That was what I did today. That sounds so depressed.
• 19:52
  That is what that was my workout for the day.
• 19:56
  No, I think back going back to the WFP, my issue.
• 20:04
  In to Glee's point of everything they do contradicts it.
• 20:08
  They could have done this starting in September and just
• 20:12
  screwed over all of the other competitions that are in the
• 20:15
  offseason. But no, they chose to start in
• 20:19
  May, which is well. Unless you listen to the
• 20:24
  interview on Calendar and Culture with Jason.
• 20:28
  Did you listen to that one? I listened to it, but what about
• 20:30
  it? Well, I think Jenny pointed this
• 20:33
  out is that the timeline is like basically they they were flying
• 20:38
  the plane had no runway and it's like, hey, we need to build the
• 20:41
  runway like right now. Yeah.
• 20:43
  I mean, he, he basically, I do do remember that and he
• 20:46
  basically he pretty much confirmed that Oklahoma City was
• 20:50
  on the docket. Like that was their plan that we
• 20:53
  thought had heard and then it was a last minute switch.
• 20:57
  But Even so, like, why rush and do it in May if you're
• 21:02
  scrambling and building it as you speak?
• 21:03
  Give yourself nine more months and start it in the offseason.
• 21:08
  Well, sounds like they were in a hurry.
• 21:12
  OK, but that. They've had this done since
• 21:15
  September, Tyler. Yeah, this is all been part of
• 21:18
  the plan. OK, well, Jason joined in like
• 21:22
  December. He joined the right after the
• 21:27
  mid-december or No, It was after November, I thought.
• 21:31
  December. No, we talked to him after
• 21:33
  Thanksgiving and then he waited and didn't hear anything back.
• 21:35
  And then he got a call after the Legends on Monday on his way
• 21:38
  home. You're hired.
• 21:39
  So yeah, Melanie Hodge, slow down, Spin.
• 21:43
  You're making too much sense. I know, I know.
• 21:47
  It's always been Spin's problem. Yeah.
• 21:50
  So I mean, I don't think we're not going to not cover it, but
• 21:54
  it's we're going to share what our opinions are and we're not
• 21:59
  going to just find the positive out of it like.
• 22:03
  You piece of shit. I'm just being I'm sharing my
• 22:07
  opinion and. We're going to be objective.
• 22:10
  We're going to be objective about it or subjective,
• 22:12
  subjective about it. We're.
• 22:14
  Going to be subjective about it. I want to push against this a
• 22:18
  little bit. I in defense of the WFPI,
• 22:21
  actually I think that this happened to coincide with the
• 22:24
  death. Did it offer some strategic
• 22:29
  advantage? Probably, but I don't, I don't
• 22:31
  think that they actively probably were going after that.
• 22:33
  So I think it. Was already in the nothing to
• 22:35
  happen. Yeah, go go back and listen to
• 22:38
  Wilmore Ads interview with coffee pods and wads in
• 22:42
  September. Or October, Yeah.
• 22:46
  I went back because I wanted to see because, you know, obviously
• 22:52
  I think they're everybody's seen it now.
• 22:54
  No squatting, yeah, in the qualifier if you.
• 22:59
  Weren't aware of. That I wanted to go back.
• 23:01
  So I knew that Wilmore had hurt his hip back during the
• 23:05
  semifinals. Does that have anything to do
• 23:07
  with no squatting in the qualifier?
• 23:08
  I don't know. But as I was listening to that,
• 23:13
  what Will said and now looking back at everything that we know
• 23:16
  now, like back then you didn't know what was going on.
• 23:18
  But he's talking about a season and a structure and all this
• 23:20
  stuff and that, like, it seemed really close to saying that
• 23:25
  like, this is getting pushed forward because of what happened
• 23:29
  at the games. Yeah, Oh, I I don't disagree
• 23:34
  that it's pushed forward to happen sooner than they wanted
• 23:37
  it to because of because of Lazar, but I think it was
• 23:40
  already in the works. I don't think they just like,
• 23:43
  hey, now is like, we need to make something.
• 23:45
  I think they were already making it and then they were like, this
• 23:49
  is the perfect time. Like, you know, they're they're
• 23:51
  not going to be a better time to get people to come away and come
• 23:54
  over here. Well, I mean.
• 23:56
  If you were already frustrated with HQ, the games, the season,
• 24:00
  all that stuff, and you see all these athletes pulling out, you
• 24:03
  know that that's going to happen.
• 24:05
  And then you're just and and you're, you're absorbing.
• 24:07
  I'm imagining Will was talking to a lot of people at the games
• 24:10
  at the time. You're like, hey, what can we do
• 24:14
  to help the athletes? Like they could have framed it
• 24:17
  that way. I don't think it was framed as
• 24:19
  Lazar died. Everybody's pissed.
• 24:21
  Let's let's hop on this like that.
• 24:23
  That probably was no. No, well, you're not going to
• 24:25
  frame it like that, but that's that's what it is though.
• 24:29
  And I mean and. Functionally.
• 24:30
  Yeah. And I mean, I don't, I don't
• 24:33
  blame them for doing that. Like, and it worked.
• 24:36
  I mean, you got half the European contingent not doing
• 24:41
  the games and doing WFP like I, I, you know, it worked for them.
• 24:46
  Yeah, Heard, Heard Athletics new you too member.
• 24:50
  Thank you. Thank you for joining.
• 24:53
  You see that? How we found the positive spin
• 24:57
  on that whole situation instead of making it super fucking.
• 25:00
  And good on Colton for being 2nd place without any squatting.
• 25:04
  Look at, look at that guy up there.
• 25:05
  What a muscle up. Nice shirt, that's amazing.
• 25:09
  Where is that a saw dungeon? Cross Spit Goose Creek in
• 25:14
  Franklin, TN. Spit Goose.
• 25:17
  Goose Creek. Goose Creek.
• 25:19
  It's on the road. It's called Goose Creek.
• 25:21
  That's awesome. Yeah.
• 25:23
  Good stuff. World Fitness project qualifier
• 25:26
  ended. Sorry Hiller, we're going to
• 25:27
  talk about it. I did not qualify.
• 25:32
  I submitted 1 score just outside the top 30.
• 25:36
  You were notable though. I was notable.
• 25:39
  Jenny Dense did say that I missed out was one of the
• 25:42
  notable athletes to miss. Out that's that's that's.
• 25:45
  The I probably had more followers on Instagram than most
• 25:47
  of those that just missed out, so I.
• 25:50
  Just left that little wink. It was.
• 25:52
  It was like a good. One, I mean other than Colton,
• 25:56
  who would you not have more followers in annual?
• 26:02
  Maybe Nick Matthew. No, the ones that just missed
• 26:04
  out in the Challenger below. Oh.
• 26:06
  OK. Yeah, yeah.
• 26:07
  I'm, I'm thinking everybody. Periods you definitely have more
• 26:10
  followers than Chris Admira Bolton does.
• 26:14
  Maybe Nick Matthew. Nick Matthews.
• 26:15
  Got a Anika fee? I'm not counting the girls.
• 26:18
  Girls are different. It's not fair, yeah.
• 26:23
  Jack Rosenwald, I think you'd have more followers than Jack
• 26:26
  Fallow might be one on the edge, maybe.
• 26:30
  Maybe so. Anyway, it wrapped up.
• 26:34
  They're still doing video review.
• 26:35
  Oh, unblown and unblowable. WFP is such a terrible name.
• 26:40
  That is a crazy. Name coming from the greatest
• 26:43
  name of all time. That profile photo is nuts.
• 26:46
  Dads, I kind of really want to figure out who that is.
• 26:50
  That's, that's, that's a that's a crazy name, man.
• 26:54
  I, I, I I feel bad about it. For $1.99 they can come in all
• 27:00
  they want. Heavy savvy.
• 27:02
  Ignore my last two member comments.
• 27:04
  Let's go for three. There you go.
• 27:07
  I don't know what else you I don't know what you posted.
• 27:09
  It didn't highlight it for me. Sorry, heavy savvy.
• 27:14
  I don't know some names that we know, some names we don't.
• 27:22
  If you are a Challenger, do you go to Indianapolis?
• 27:29
  Can you and then just remind everybody what it would take for
• 27:35
  a challenger to make it to the Pro next year?
• 27:39
  Well, we don't know. So basically what what this what
• 27:42
  happens is the top ten that that pro line, those 10 athletes will
• 27:48
  go and compete against the the signed athletes that have
• 27:51
  already signed it. And they don't have contracts
• 27:54
  these top. Ten, they don't have contracts
• 27:56
  as far as I know, that they have to pay for their own way to
• 27:59
  Indianapolis. However, if you're in the pro
• 28:02
  division, you're guaranteed some type of prize money.
• 28:05
  I think the lowest is $500.00 for the last five spots.
• 28:08
  Do they pay for your flights to the European ones?
• 28:12
  Well, I'll get to that in a second.
• 28:14
  The tour events, if you're, if you qualify through the online
• 28:17
  qualifier, you compete against the pros, you're you're going to
• 28:21
  get some prize money, but you got to pay for everything to get
• 28:24
  there. If you're a challenger, you get
• 28:28
  no prize money. You pay for yourself and all you
• 28:31
  get is points. So the only.
• 28:34
  And no matter what, if you're like, if you're, if you're a
• 28:37
  challenger and you win, you win it.
• 28:40
  You get 200 and 52150 points if you if you just show up as a pro
• 28:46
  and pull Bethany Flores and just like do £95 back squats, you get
• 28:52
  270 points. So if you're Chris Ibarra and
• 28:56
  you beat everybody, so you beat Jeff Adler like you win.
• 28:59
  Yeah, because, well, you, I don't know.
• 29:01
  If people do the same workouts. Oh, you mean in the in the
• 29:04
  workouts, assuming that they're programmed the same?
• 29:07
  I would imagine that you're going to be.
• 29:08
  In the series like if you beat everybody you get less points
• 29:13
  than the last place pro person. Yeah, dude, it works like it
• 29:16
  works. It's going to work like the the
• 29:18
  scale division in the open. But that means, like you,
• 29:21
  there's no shot for you to do anything.
• 29:24
  Right, you're in your own league.
• 29:26
  You basically have to then in the tour event to finish in the
• 29:32
  top ten and beat out a whole bunch of people.
• 29:36
  If like if Colton goes into goes to Arizona too, you got to beat
• 29:40
  out like a lot of those athletes too, like.
• 29:44
  So, OK, the only argument I have of why you would do it is if so,
• 29:51
  if you don't do it, you're going to lose.
• 29:54
  You're going to lose your points that you would make at the
• 29:57
  event. So the challenger, the qualifier
• 30:00
  doesn't get you any points, right?
• 30:03
  No, but the qualifier makes it to where you can get way more
• 30:06
  points. For for challengers, I would say
• 30:09
  for challengers, as weird as the sounds, the performance in the
• 30:13
  online qualifier is as important, possibly even more
• 30:16
  important than what you actually do.
• 30:20
  It's way more important because it's everything because it caps.
• 30:23
  You don't matter if you're not in the if.
• 30:25
  You're 11th or 30th. You've basically capped yourself
• 30:27
  out at 250 points, regardless of how well you.
• 30:30
  Do and and you will not make the top ten like after the year no
• 30:34
  matter what you do. You need to be top.
• 30:35
  You need to be top 20. But you still won't make top 20.
• 30:38
  There's there's 20 signed people and then the 10 people that are
• 30:41
  in the pro thing that will all get more points than you even if
• 30:44
  you win. Well, the The thing is though,
• 30:47
  the finals has double the points.
• 30:49
  So the idea is, the idea is that you just make it into the top 30
• 30:54
  to go to Copenhagen for the finals and then you just crush
• 30:58
  everybody in the finals. We all know that's not going to
• 31:01
  happen. You know, if you're Chris
• 31:03
  Ibarra, you know you're not beating those every, not beating
• 31:07
  the top people. Let's pause for a second.
• 31:10
  Riley has a good question. So what's the challenger, what's
• 31:12
  a pro? And what's assigned athlete took
• 31:14
  of you? So assigned athlete it are the
• 31:17
  athletes who are who didn't have to compete in the qualifier.
• 31:20
  You can think about them as the D1 level athletes.
• 31:24
  They have the contracts they have and they have the
• 31:26
  contracts. Nobody else has a contract.
• 31:28
  They are the ones with the contract.
• 31:30
  They have $30,000 a year, but they have to.
• 31:33
  They're contracted to go to all three of the competitions.
• 31:37
  They have to. They're contracted.
• 31:40
  The pros are essentially free agents.
• 31:42
  They don't have a. Contract.
• 31:44
  They're they're walk ONS. That's a good way of thinking
• 31:46
  about it. So they're walk ONS, they have
• 31:48
  to compete in an online qualifier, which the signed
• 31:51
  athletes didn't have to qualify in to compete at the pro level.
• 31:56
  And the top ten now from now here on out, they don't have a
• 32:00
  contract, they don't have $30,000.
• 32:01
  But that top ten, they are essentially the same as the
• 32:07
  people with the contracts. They compete for the same spots,
• 32:10
  they compete for the same prize money, they compete for the same
• 32:13
  amount of points. There's nothing different from
• 32:16
  that top 10 as the contracted people.
• 32:19
  They just don't get $30,000 to start the year essentially what
• 32:22
  it is. And they have to, you know, get
• 32:25
  to the competitions right. So well, they're treated like a
• 32:29
  walk on. But if your walk on is started,
• 32:31
  you know what I mean? Like is one of your better, like
• 32:35
  you get your better running back or receiver record, It doesn't
• 32:37
  matter. You're walking on starting right
• 32:39
  Challenger. Challenger is on the.
• 32:41
  Practice. They're on the practice team,
• 32:45
  they are in the league, but they're not like they're in
• 32:49
  their own system. They're not going to compete
• 32:51
  with these athletes in the pros I.
• 32:54
  But like, I think it's even less than that.
• 32:56
  Like the like, like, like the way to think about it, like if
• 32:59
  it's a football team, if I was in college right now and I was
• 33:02
  like, I want to be on Mizzou's team.
• 33:05
  And then what I would do is that's the Challenger level.
• 33:10
  Yeah, you're going to try outs. I'm doing nothing like is what
• 33:14
  I'm doing. Right.
• 33:16
  Yeah, sorry. Yeah, as far as I can tell and
• 33:21
  it what I would expect because based on how they're sharing,
• 33:24
  talking about the broadcast it the challengers and pros are
• 33:28
  going to go back-to-back and then there's going to be a break
• 33:31
  and they're going to go back-to-back and go to be a
• 33:33
  break. Probably the exact same
• 33:35
  workouts. I don't imagine they would lower
• 33:37
  the weights for somebody that that's the difference there.
• 33:42
  You just get less points. Some some questions here.
• 33:45
  Monty Yernick, is there a qualifier for each WFP event?
• 33:49
  Yes, for the 1st 2:00 at the end of the second Tour event.
• 33:53
  The at the top 30 athletes with points go to Copenhagen for the
• 34:00
  finals. So that's why you would do the
• 34:02
  Challenger anyway. If you are, I guess there's
• 34:06
  technically a because. You could be the top 10 for the
• 34:08
  next one. There's there's I guess a
• 34:11
  potential that if you're a signed contract athlete that you
• 34:14
  don't make in the top 30, like you finish last each time and
• 34:19
  then it just happens to be the 10 pros that come in do really,
• 34:23
  really well and they bump you down.
• 34:25
  You're still contractor. I think you still have a spot.
• 34:28
  Just for that year, but this year.
• 34:30
  Oh, just for that. Year.
• 34:31
  Yeah, I don't know if that's the case.
• 34:35
  Barkley brought up a good point, Walt.
• 34:38
  Guns don't have to make posts. Yeah, and that's why Colton
• 34:42
  ultimately did not accept his contract.
• 34:44
  They offered him one and then he said no because he doesn't want
• 34:48
  to post about it and so he did the pro thing online just to get
• 34:52
  back in because he knew he would make 30,000 in the open.
• 34:56
  So he was like, I'm just going to do this anyway and then I
• 34:58
  don't have to post about you. John, you're spraying fake news.
• 35:00
  They didn't even ask Colton. WFP does.
• 35:04
  WFP does not like Colton that. Is that is a joke.
• 35:09
  Don't take it off. Don't.
• 35:10
  Don't go and run with that, sorry.
• 35:11
  Mine's the truth. John's just.
• 35:13
  No, take it very seriously. True Meredith, if a challenger
• 35:19
  wins the competition, will they win first place prize purse in
• 35:23
  the pro division? Yes.
• 35:25
  If you're a challenger, you're competing for points and $0.00.
• 35:30
  No. So the the challengers aren't
• 35:32
  even in the same competition as the pros.
• 35:34
  It's the same workouts, we think, but it's not even the
• 35:38
  same competition. You're only against other
• 35:41
  challengers. You're not against the pros.
• 35:44
  You're you're second tier. You're a peasant, I tweeted.
• 35:48
  System. I tweeted, I said in the if
• 35:52
  you're in the qualifier division of the WFP, it's the same as
• 35:57
  being in the RX division at Wadapalooza.
• 36:01
  Yeah, yeah, I agree with that. And we've seen Royce Dunn
• 36:05
  qualify and he's like, screw that, I'm not going.
• 36:08
  No. And and I would if I was a
• 36:09
  challenger, I wouldn't go. I I get what you're saying.
• 36:11
  Like you still probably do it for the first time because
• 36:14
  there's the second qualifier, right.
• 36:17
  But after that. That's a big ask, though, for
• 36:21
  somebody like Emily Deroy or Caleb Clements.
• 36:25
  If you live here, I think, I think if you're European or
• 36:30
  Asian or Australian or New Zealander, I, I wouldn't, I
• 36:34
  wouldn't do it. I I just don't think it's worth
• 36:37
  it if you're. Dedicated to this I.
• 36:40
  And then it cost you so much money to travel and then like,
• 36:43
  and then for like Chris, like if you're 11th place in the
• 36:46
  European one, you're I wouldn't, I just am done with it.
• 36:51
  You know what I mean? And then try again next year.
• 36:55
  Oh shit, I want to shout out an athlete for a second.
• 36:58
  It it, it would be #26 or 27. On the female side, Janie
• 37:03
  Chevery in research for this episode, she has done like every
• 37:09
  single qualifier for any event that she can go to this year,
• 37:13
  including this, all the semifinals.
• 37:16
  Her name was on every single leader.
• 37:19
  Is she on the Far East throwdown in?
• 37:21
  Asia, I didn't, I didn't check Far East, but.
• 37:24
  There's a way to make the games. I'm going to do it, yeah.
• 37:30
  Does all the qualifiers like all of them?
• 37:33
  Yeah, Jenny Denz another one. Jack Farlow has no other option
• 37:39
  now his season is over if he doesn't do Challenge.
• 37:41
  And he's not. And again, like Spin said, like
• 37:44
  like this one means nothing and are you going to travel to
• 37:48
  Europe banking that you can be the top ten in the next one?
• 37:50
  Like I just, yeah, your season's over.
• 37:54
  So, and challengers that go, they're going to go to Indy it
• 38:00
  let's assume they all go to Indy.
• 38:02
  You get your points that you got in Indy, you now have to do the
• 38:05
  qualifier for Arizona. And then let's say you qualify
• 38:11
  for the Arizona in the challenger division.
• 38:13
  Your points from Indy will carry over and you'll also get points
• 38:17
  at Arizona, right? But that's still going to put
• 38:21
  you in the Challenger division. Well it depends on how many
• 38:24
  people that are in the pro right now re qualify for the pro.
• 38:31
  Right, so say they have an athlete pop down.
• 38:34
  Let's let's pick on. Like if all if all 10 of the
• 38:39
  pros re qualify for the pro division in in Mesa you don't
• 38:43
  have a chance because you can't. You get less points.
• 38:46
  You need somebody in the pro division.
• 38:49
  To not qualify. To not qualify or to do the fall
• 38:53
  down to the challenger division and then you beat them like you
• 38:56
  have to be in the pro division at least once.
• 39:00
  To have a chance. To have a chance, I think got
• 39:03
  you. OK.
• 39:04
  So yeah, it's I I don't know if you go like and then there's
• 39:15
  obviously I'll look like a John's getting some.
• 39:18
  Oh geez. OK, I will.
• 39:22
  You're people can hear you. John's bulking, OK.
• 39:26
  I have not eaten yet so keep talking about this thing.
• 39:32
  You're excited. Keep going.
• 39:40
  Exciting stuff. It turns, John, you turn your
• 39:50
  camera off, but we can say, are you fucking eating?
• 39:55
  I'm sorry, I'll be myself. Anyway, go ahead.
• 40:03
  Like, and then what also is like we, you know, we talk about the
• 40:07
  overlap. There's athletes on here that
• 40:10
  are that are slated to compete at French Throwdown.
• 40:16
  So like Andrea Sloberg, Ella Wilkinson I think is in there.
• 40:19
  She is, I think ODA Luke Luden, van Var Thurman I think might be
• 40:27
  there. Like there's a decent.
• 40:28
  Of it, yeah, yeah, yeah. Like there's a bunch that are
• 40:31
  now having to make a direct decision.
• 40:35
  Do I go for a game spot or do I try this?
• 40:40
  Do I do I travel to Indianapolis on my own dollar to see how this
• 40:44
  goes. Like at least Andrea Solberg,
• 40:48
  you get you have the the ability to earn enough points, you get
• 40:54
  some prize money, but at the same time French throw downs not
• 40:58
  going to have any of the Europeans who are the top
• 41:02
  athletes at World Fitness project.
• 41:05
  French is light. I was going through their list
• 41:07
  and I was like, oh there like there isn't a ton of big name
• 41:12
  athletes that are going. Right.
• 41:13
  So that that adds another one like where do you, which way do
• 41:15
  you go? Like, right, I'm not convinced
• 41:18
  that if you're Andrea Sulberger, Ella Wilkinson, that you you
• 41:20
  just automatically go to Indianapolis.
• 41:23
  No, I I literally looked at Ella and I was like.
• 41:28
  You can make it. You could make it.
• 41:31
  She's been on the come up for the past couple years in the
• 41:33
  European division. And so it's like dude, like it
• 41:37
  would be, that would be very hard.
• 41:38
  I would be surprised if she goes.
• 41:41
  She's from, she's from Britain. Yes.
• 41:44
  Yeah, yeah, yeah. So yeah, I don't know how you
• 41:51
  how you make that decision. That and This is why I think the
• 41:54
  challenger, the qualifier for an event, should.
• 41:57
  You should get points for that. Yeah.
• 42:02
  What, just on the qualifier, Yeah, but how do you then
• 42:06
  balance that out for the actual in person competition?
• 42:09
  I mean, you include that, too. It's just another competition
• 42:15
  Barkley and I have. Have talked, yeah, but but then
• 42:17
  but then the the sign pros don't have points there.
• 42:20
  If you just give them more points, it doesn't matter
• 42:22
  either. Well, you just, I, you set it to
• 42:27
  a number that makes sense to where the pros are always going
• 42:30
  to have more. So if you do both the qualifier
• 42:32
  and the challenger, you're still not going to equal to the pros,
• 42:35
  but you have to be incentivized to do, to do the, to do the, the
• 42:40
  qualifying event. The, the reason I bring this up,
• 42:44
  Barkley and I have talked for ages about like, you can't just
• 42:48
  throw out like we used to think about the quarterfinals, those
• 42:51
  quarterfinals events like you're competing against everyone.
• 42:56
  And so your results in those events mattered a lot because
• 43:02
  you beat all the freaks in every event.
• 43:06
  Right. No, that's true.
• 43:09
  All right, well, let's let's move off of World Fitness
• 43:14
  project. We've done plenty of talking
• 43:17
  about that. Now it's time to say who is
• 43:19
  games bound before we get into actually showing sharing our
• 43:25
  pics first, how does the actual season work?
• 43:31
  So I made this little infographic yesterday.
• 43:34
  I'm done guys. You done?
• 43:36
  OK, that's fast. So we start with the CrossFit
• 43:40
  Open. We are done.
• 43:41
  The top 1% of those athletes think of the CrossFit Open as
• 43:47
  the gatekeeper to the top athletes in the world as
• 43:51
  basically narrowing down the field to actually compete in the
• 43:57
  rest of the season. 1201 men are now eligible, 1200 women,
• 44:06
  there's actually only 957, I think was the actual top 1%, but
• 44:13
  it's the minimum of 1200. So 1200 women, it's a little
• 44:17
  over 1% now can technically qualify through an in person
• 44:23
  qualifying event, which is like the Mayhem Classic coming up
• 44:26
  next weekend, the in affiliate semifinals, that's the online
• 44:29
  portion or the last chance qualifier.
• 44:32
  At the end of the day, through all three of those channels,
• 44:35
  we'll have a field of 30 men and 30 women.
• 44:40
  Stage 2, which I'm saying includes the in person
• 44:43
  qualifying events or the in affiliate semifinal or the last
• 44:47
  chance qualifier will send that many people per competition to
• 44:53
  the games. If you qualify at Mayhem Classic
• 44:58
  and you decide to go to Norcal later on and you also finish in
• 45:04
  the top two, your invite comes from Mayhem and so third place
• 45:10
  would then get the the invite to Norcal.
• 45:14
  So there's no like backfill spots back in 2019, the Open is
• 45:19
  what determined that was like the first.
• 45:23
  Like that's how you got in first and then all of these other
• 45:26
  sanctionals were like backfields after that.
• 45:28
  There's none of that. The first place you qualify,
• 45:31
  that's where you qualify from and you're done.
• 45:34
  So I don't think given where a lot of these athletes are, other
• 45:39
  than maybe Colton, I don't think you'll see them compete in
• 45:43
  multiple events should they qualify, right?
• 45:47
  Like there's that. There's really no reason to go
• 45:48
  into the to the in affiliate semifinal if you've already won
• 45:52
  Mayhem Classic. I think he in particular, I, I
• 45:55
  think for most other athletes they won't, but I think he's
• 45:59
  committed to doing Norcal anyway.
• 46:03
  And then last Chance Qualifier, we know it's the weekend after
• 46:06
  Norcal Classic, we know it's the four days that cover the
• 46:11
  Community Cup, but we don't have any other details.
• 46:17
  I imagine it's going to be any one of those top 1% athletes can
• 46:22
  now do the last chance qualifier.
• 46:24
  Just like the N affiliate semifinal.
• 46:27
  It's one last chance. Dude, what if you just didn't do
• 46:30
  any of the qualifiers and then. Try to get first place she's.
• 46:34
  Trying to get first place in LCQ, that would be amazing.
• 46:38
  That would be. That'd be walk off over.
• 46:40
  That's calling your shot, I'm sorry and and it's and it's
• 46:43
  online. You got no idea what's what's
• 46:46
  what this is about to be. Yeah, I'm gonna.
• 46:48
  I'm gonna go ahead and go all in.
• 46:50
  Especially since they're they're asking affiliate owners to
• 46:53
  submit their workout options. Oh, they're.
• 46:58
  Yeah, you could. You could submit a workout if
• 47:00
  you're an affiliate owner to be included in the community.
• 47:03
  Does that count as WFP affiliates?
• 47:05
  Are they allowed to submit their workouts?
• 47:07
  They're a CrossFit affiliate, I guess.
• 47:09
  I I don't think they are. They're WFP affiliates.
• 47:11
  They're both, John. They can be both.
• 47:13
  They can be both. OK, they're the non squatting
• 47:16
  affiliates. Yeah.
• 47:17
  So what we're going to do now is we're going to, we're going to
• 47:20
  walk through the Stage 2. Let's do it.
• 47:24
  And rather than all of us giving who we think's going to do
• 47:27
  qualify out of each stage, we're going to collaborate, probably
• 47:32
  argue, probably argue a bit and decide who who's who we're going
• 47:42
  to send from each one of these to see which 30 men and 30
• 47:47
  women. So we're going to start out.
• 47:50
  With. We're going to go in order.
• 47:52
  Yeah, obviously we have to. Women, men, women.
• 47:56
  We're going to do the men. All right.
• 48:00
  Who is going to the CrossFit Games?
• 48:04
  Mayhem Classic. Otherwise known as the Hatfield
• 48:09
  Invitational. And that's going to be the first
• 48:11
  man that gets his ticket. First place in the Mayhem
• 48:15
  Classic is going to be none other than Austin.
• 48:19
  Hold on. Hold on there.
• 48:20
  Hold on there, John. Hold on.
• 48:24
  All right. Mayhem Classic.
• 48:26
  We've had lots of roster changes on the men's side.
• 48:30
  You guys talked about it on Sivan.
• 48:33
  He went through who was kind of notable, who was going to make
• 48:36
  it. Roman Kranikov was one of your
• 48:38
  guys. Jason Hopper Gmail.
• 48:42
  No, not key. James Sprague.
• 48:45
  Austin Hatfield. Colton Mertens, I think that was
• 48:49
  it of Jason. Did I mention?
• 48:52
  Yeah. Like those five guys were guys
• 48:55
  that. That's the tier.
• 48:57
  That you thought could qualify. John, you're you're pretty hyped
• 49:03
  up on Hatfield. It's a home turf forum.
• 49:07
  It's going to be rich fronting programming that means a lot of
• 49:11
  CrossFit and not like specialized kind of events.
• 49:17
  And that's got Hatfield's name all over.
• 49:20
  It do you think he do you think he wins?
• 49:22
  I do. I'm, I'm, I'm picking Austin to
• 49:24
  win, win the Mayhem Classic. Tyler, do you agree?
• 49:28
  Do you agree with Hatfield qualifying?
• 49:32
  He will qualify. He's not my number one.
• 49:36
  I also have him qualified but not #1.
• 49:40
  I would imagine we agree on the number one.
• 49:42
  I think so. All right, so we got that
• 49:47
  doesn't really matter. No, it doesn't.
• 49:49
  It's. Just worth noting that John will
• 49:52
  be wrong. I think if you guys are both
• 49:54
  saying Colton that you are sipping tea that you shouldn't
• 49:57
  be sipping. Not Colton.
• 49:59
  OK, the next one, Tyler, they agree with you.
• 50:04
  Dallon's not in. It Dallon's not even freaking
• 50:05
  competing, Tyler, right? Great job, Tyler.
• 50:08
  So Austin Hatfield's winning for Tyler.
• 50:10
  Austin Hatfield is winning for Tyler.
• 50:12
  Book it. Jason, if it's not Dallon, it's
• 50:15
  Jason. But yes, that Austin will win if
• 50:20
  Dallon. 'S not.
• 50:21
  There we go, let's go. I have Hopper in agreeance.
• 50:27
  I have Hopper. I actually think Hopper can win
• 50:29
  this he. Can.
• 50:31
  More. Not to say that Hatfield can't.
• 50:35
  I just think Hopper can put together an entire competition
• 50:39
  and whereas we have not seen Hatfield do that.
• 50:43
  Yet you're absolutely right. You're absolutely right.
• 50:46
  I cannot argue this, but that's why I think Hatfield can win
• 50:50
  this because it's only 6 events. He's got less room to screw it.
• 50:54
  Up right, that's what I'm saying.
• 50:58
  I don't. I think he got his first year
• 51:01
  wiggles out of him. I don't think he's going to
• 51:03
  screw up all that much. I I love in behind the scenes of
• 51:06
  the, the OR yeah, the open announcement.
• 51:09
  I think it was sailor's behind the scenes.
• 51:11
  Dallas said Hatfield will find a way to get 31st place in an
• 51:15
  event. And like the bad thing about it
• 51:19
  is I can't argue it because he hasn't done it yet, but and
• 51:24
  which is why his place in the mountain is where it is.
• 51:27
  He'd be higher if he could do it.
• 51:28
  But in Wadapalooza, I thought he executed pretty darn well,
• 51:32
  except the the the sled drag and that got a lot of people.
• 51:36
  He's just one of the people it also got.
• 51:38
  But other than that, you know, he was did we was what he's, you
• 51:42
  know, around what he should do in the the run box, jump over
• 51:46
  bike one. And then he was second, first,
• 51:48
  first, first. Like I'm each competition he's
• 51:52
  done, he's gotten better at executing.
• 51:56
  Jason Hopper is my number 2. John's my favorite Christie.
• 52:04
  We will put Hopper. We will put Hopper in there.
• 52:07
  She spells her name the same way my mom does, just worth noting.
• 52:11
  Also Glee. Sorry sorry, spin.
• 52:16
  Tyler's also always so perfectly.
• 52:18
  Wait till we get to #10 listen. It surprised me.
• 52:23
  It surprised me when you said now it I, I was surprised.
• 52:27
  This is the most complicated what we're going to do here and
• 52:31
  like go through this is not going to give it justice to how
• 52:34
  much thinking you had to do going through this.
• 52:36
  This is the hardest. Like I've had to work to come up
• 52:39
  with picks ever in my life. It gets even harder after the N
• 52:42
  affiliate semifinal. Yeah, what about this?
• 52:46
  They'll be everyone's sleeping on Sprague.
• 52:48
  You know, I'm not against this comment.
• 52:51
  He could, he could I, he's a possible.
• 52:53
  I think any of the five guys could win.
• 52:56
  I mean, any of the five guys could get the second spot of the
• 53:00
  ones that we named. It truly kind of just depends on
• 53:03
  the programming. Sprague is or not.
• 53:06
  I'm not sleeping on Sprague. I just like Austin Moore for
• 53:09
  this competition. I think I think Sprague's
• 53:14
  capable, but I also know heavy Isabel's one of the events.
• 53:17
  And if 17 percent is something that I think James is going to
• 53:20
  be behind and not even by a lot. But if he's 10th place, I find
• 53:26
  it hard for him to make that up to win.
• 53:28
  You know what I mean? Your winner's not going to have
• 53:31
  a 10th place, right? And that's, that's, that's the,
• 53:34
  that's the thought. Process with the field of 20
• 53:36
  definitely. And the field of 20 is elite.
• 53:39
  It's not like TFX preview to that one.
• 53:44
  It's like, you know what I'm saying?
• 53:46
  Where where you know what? He doesn't have Isabel.
• 53:48
  He gets 6th place and he can like make up ground on so many
• 53:53
  other people at different spots because it feels not as strong
• 53:55
  when the you have 5 people that honestly could win the CrossFit
• 54:00
  Games. It's you're not going to get
• 54:03
  ahead of those people if 17% of the competition is Isabel.
• 54:08
  Interesting how this year the CrossFit Games winner will be
• 54:11
  the underdog, yeah. And he's not It's.
• 54:16
  Only because that workout and. And he hurt us.
• 54:20
  I want to talk. About this, so I'm not, I'm not
• 54:23
  going to speak for everybody else, but I think that they're
• 54:25
  probably in agreement with me. I like Colton and I'm hype on
• 54:29
  what Colton's showed definitely through the opening over the
• 54:32
  past couple months. This is a lie.
• 54:33
  OK, we need to point out lies, Glee.
• 54:36
  Remember what happened to Magnus Glee?
• 54:39
  Colton has history working against him for our picks for
• 54:43
  semifinal or this semifinal. Everybody's saying I'm talking,
• 54:47
  I'm talking about Sprague. How did Colton even get into
• 54:50
  this in this? Conversation, Julie or Vicki
• 54:55
  said. Colton's fueled up now, Glee
• 54:58
  said. Colton is so pissed right now.
• 55:01
  Yeah, I mean, he's in the top five.
• 55:05
  We have to pick 2. I don't I agree with what you
• 55:11
  guys said on Sivan Show on Friday night.
• 55:13
  Like he's definitely in the running.
• 55:15
  Like Roman's in the running. James is in the running like
• 55:18
  any, I think any of those five guys can do it.
• 55:22
  Yeah, I, I like and I, I totally, I completely agree and
• 55:27
  and believe that Rich and Angelo have kept the programming like
• 55:35
  secret. I don't think they've given it
• 55:38
  to anybody. But it is Mayhem programming,
• 55:45
  right? And so going into this first
• 55:49
  one, Hatfield is a Mayhem athlete.
• 55:53
  Like regardless of what you say about like home field, like
• 55:59
  bias, like Rich and Angel are not going to just go do workouts
• 56:04
  that are so far off what they kind of do it mayhem anyway.
• 56:09
  Right, there's going to be some bias built in now.
• 56:11
  But I will say, like if the freaking if there's a workout
• 56:15
  with like 7 legless road climbs in the middle of it, but it's
• 56:18
  sandwiched between a bunch of bench press, now all of a sudden
• 56:23
  Colton is in it for the top 2. Yeah, he's justifiable as
• 56:27
  anybody else. That's not like, you know, we
• 56:29
  don't know the programming. And like, that's why I don't
• 56:32
  make like official predictions until I know the programming
• 56:36
  that comes out. All of a sudden Colton's name
• 56:38
  will get thrown up there like that.
• 56:40
  But until I know that I'm not going to, and until he goes top
• 56:44
  five at the games, like I don't have a reason to either.
• 56:50
  That's that's that's true. Moving on to Copa.
• 56:56
  So don't worry, I'm going to bring up Colin's name real soon.
• 56:58
  All right? Y'all don't worry.
• 56:59
  Real soon, Copa Sewer. They don't have to spend a lot
• 57:04
  of crap on this one. I'm gonna.
• 57:06
  Go lots of dudes. Don't say you're going.
• 57:08
  To go Hey team meatspin Nicholas Bedon, Augustin Rochelle May,
• 57:13
  Bruno Marins is travelling from Dubai to go compete there.
• 57:17
  Ben Gutierrez has been up there. Pedro, Martins, Cali and Sousa I
• 57:20
  think are the the bigger names. I don't think anybody on the
• 57:24
  second page has a chance unless you disagree.
• 57:29
  Dude, I mean I'm going to go Marin's and Sousa.
• 57:33
  I don't think they deserve two names.
• 57:38
  Is that Tyler? Do you agree?
• 57:41
  Marin's? I agree.
• 57:43
  I'm going to go on Nicholas Benden or however he said.
• 57:48
  Bedone. Bedone.
• 57:50
  Is that cuz he was on your team? Yes.
• 57:53
  No, I was he on my team? No, he wasn't on my team.
• 57:56
  He was on spin. Maybe he was not on my.
• 57:57
  He was on my team. And I remember seeing his name a
• 57:59
  bunch. Definitely impressive in the
• 58:03
  open. Means nothing.
• 58:05
  But that doesn't mean anything when it comes to Copa Sewer.
• 58:08
  That's fair. Like Kale Lehman, George Sterner
• 58:11
  would then be up there in the mayhem Classic talk.
• 58:15
  And they're not. I'm going to go with with John
• 58:20
  and say Souza. I will see the argument.
• 58:24
  As he should. Nobody picked Augustine.
• 58:34
  He hasn't made it in a while, man.
• 58:36
  He's just, he's just, I think Marion and Souza are just better
• 58:39
  than him when it comes to games programming.
• 58:41
  I think South America was behind for a minute and nobody was
• 58:44
  strong enough. And then Raquel made could still
• 58:46
  like sneak in there because he is top tier elite at like
• 58:51
  gymnastics workouts, right? And he's very good conditioning.
• 58:54
  But there wasn't anybody that was at that level and Gee,
• 58:58
  except Gee, right. And Gee's the the polar opposite
• 59:01
  of him. I think South America has taken
• 59:04
  a step up in its fitness. Not a lot as far as like games
• 59:08
  games go. Well, Raquel may would be bottom
• 59:10
  of the tier. You know, if he makes the games,
• 59:12
  he's bottom of the tier games athlete, right?
• 59:14
  And I think South America has taken a step up in fitness where
• 59:19
  it's not just he's the fittest guy there, there just wasn't
• 59:21
  anybody else. And I think Marin's and Sue's
• 59:24
  are just better. Barkley with some detail.
• 59:27
  Badon's coaches. Ficundo.
• 59:29
  He was in the elite division at Waterpaloo.
• 59:31
  Tier Waterpalooza, Barkley tier Wadapalooza.
• 59:35
  Really nice guy. Where did he finish Barkley?
• 59:41
  I don't remember talking. Really nice guy, means he didn't
• 59:43
  finish. High.
• 59:44
  I was curious to say that. That's what that means.
• 59:48
  Moving on to Wadland Fest, this one is the first European one.
• 59:52
  It is also the last. I think it's the week before in
• 59:56
  affiliate semifinal. Me and Tyler should have done
• 59:59
  this qualifier, man. Tyler, we would have.
• 1:00:01
  We would have made this qualifier.
• 1:00:02
  We could have done this. This is when the Wollenfest
• 1:00:05
  Wollenfest invited like 80 men and like 72 women or something
• 1:00:08
  like that, plus plus special invites.
• 1:00:12
  They don't have a full roster yet, but like Colin Bossard,
• 1:00:16
  Fabian Herman's, Martin Cuervo, Yuri Merechenko, Savan Greens,
• 1:00:26
  Roman is in this one too. Roman is in this one.
• 1:00:31
  Bronislaw And then they do have some special invites.
• 1:00:35
  So Aniolakai, Fabian, Benito, we've already said Roman, Roman
• 1:00:43
  Krenikov, Spencer, Panchick. I think that's the most notable
• 1:00:49
  names there. Calum Clemens, a Spaniard.
• 1:00:54
  What do you guys have for Tyler? Let's start with you.
• 1:00:58
  We start with. John and I both, I think Roman
• 1:01:02
  Kranikov. That's my number one pick.
• 1:01:07
  Roman. Oh, and and Yoda Kowski is in
• 1:01:08
  there, too. Yoda, oh, Yoda kind of throws a
• 1:01:12
  mix into it a little bit. It does a little, but it doesn't
• 1:01:15
  change me at all. Is oh man, it does me not not my
• 1:01:20
  number one. It makes #2 hard though, dude.
• 1:01:24
  I have Roman as #1. Yeah, I have Roman as one as
• 1:01:27
  well. I'm going to go with annual as
• 1:01:30
  #2 but I do I have Koski's really good man, but I.
• 1:01:39
  I have Yona I. Have Spencer Panjik which John
• 1:01:45
  will hate because. He hates the Panjiks.
• 1:01:48
  Why do you hate that? When is a panchick ever been
• 1:01:52
  good as Wynn has a panchick? One has gone to the games like
• 1:01:55
  every year except. For and never podium and
• 1:01:58
  everybody said he could. Podium.
• 1:01:59
  To the games. Wynn has a Panchick done what
• 1:02:03
  people wanted them to do. All right, John.
• 1:02:06
  Saxon Panchick got 6th one year and everybody was like super,
• 1:02:10
  super high on him. And then and that that's the one
• 1:02:13
  time a Panchick outdid expectations.
• 1:02:17
  Well, there's not been one other time.
• 1:02:20
  Why are you going to OK, so you're arguing this but they've
• 1:02:23
  all been to the games. What?
• 1:02:25
  I mean anyol's been to the games but like.
• 1:02:29
  Koski's better. I I koski Koski I koski he's.
• 1:02:33
  Also. Sorry for what I'm about to say,
• 1:02:35
  Yona. He's also old.
• 1:02:37
  He's not old. He's not old, he's just, he's
• 1:02:39
  his body's. Getting.
• 1:02:40
  Beaten down. Listen, Koski is the right pick.
• 1:02:47
  I'm picking annual as as a heart.
• 1:02:50
  We got a pull up. Yeah, let's go, let's go Daniel
• 1:02:53
  Koski and then and then Spencer Panchick.
• 1:02:56
  I guess we could put him in the pool, but annual Akai just
• 1:03:01
  really, really impressed me at Socal.
• 1:03:03
  I just think he's getting fitter and fitter.
• 1:03:05
  I think he's on his way up and not like like you know, I think
• 1:03:09
  Koski, this is what he is. We know what he is.
• 1:03:11
  He's top ten games athlete. I think Annual's on his way up.
• 1:03:15
  I also think Koski kind of depends on the competition.
• 1:03:19
  There's some he does really well in, some he doesn't do great in.
• 1:03:22
  He's kind of inconsistent a little bit right.
• 1:03:25
  And Annual Akai just think it's getting fitter and fitter.
• 1:03:27
  Koski is still the right pick. I'm picking Annual just off of
• 1:03:31
  my heart. Well, Spencer Pin, Spencer
• 1:03:34
  Panchick is at 10% right now. He is out.
• 1:03:36
  Come on guys, we need a few more votes.
• 1:03:38
  We're at 44 votes. We need to get at least get to
• 1:03:40
  50 to have a enough of a I'm going to pull the science in
• 1:03:44
  these votes. Statistical majority 49 votes.
• 1:03:49
  One more, one more vote. We got forty, 5254%.
• 1:03:53
  Go with Yona Koski. Yona Yona is in all.
• 1:03:58
  Right, fine. James Bragg, Colton and James
• 1:04:02
  making two spots. Colton and James taking the two
• 1:04:06
  spots. I'm not going to, I'm not going
• 1:04:08
  to take that blackmail James, if I'm supporting your body.
• 1:04:12
  Hey, Mama, Hatfield is on here, so we get some support from
• 1:04:16
  Mama. Yeah, G counts.
• 1:04:17
  Until we get Miss Sprague on here, I don't know if we can if
• 1:04:21
  we can right pick you up there is all I'm saying.
• 1:04:26
  Jason. Hopper, we appreciate your
• 1:04:27
  support. Hopper definitely watches too.
• 1:04:30
  Opera just watches and hate. Justin does not watch.
• 1:04:38
  There's no chance. There you go dude.
• 1:04:47
  I said on get with the programming something about
• 1:04:50
  Jason and he called me like 3 hours later and he goes, I heard
• 1:04:54
  what you said on that show. It's like look at that, is that
• 1:05:03
  the real? Unfortunately we do not know
• 1:05:05
  that's the real Haley. I just really don't.
• 1:05:07
  Think it is the longer this joke, if it is a joke, goes on I
• 1:05:11
  I start to wonder if. You're, I'm going to start to
• 1:05:13
  believe it. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 1:05:15
  I mean, why wouldn't it be it OK guys, it it's the same.
• 1:05:21
  It's the same thumbnail as her YouTube channel.
• 1:05:24
  So dude definitely is definitely is the real Haley Adams.
• 1:05:30
  Well, we'll see if we pick you and the women's side, Haley, I
• 1:05:34
  think Tyler, Tyler, Tyler changed his pick just because
• 1:05:37
  you commented. I 100%.
• 1:05:39
  Would not doubt it. All right, all right.
• 1:05:47
  Now we're going into May in affiliate semifinal, top 11 in
• 1:05:51
  the world. So basically this is like this
• 1:05:55
  is basically like quarterfinals. This is going to be
• 1:05:57
  quarterfinals. We don't know the number of
• 1:06:00
  workouts. It's going to be the same number
• 1:06:02
  of days, but it has to be inside a CrossFit affiliate.
• 1:06:07
  So OK, I need a clarifying point because Dallon kind of screwed
• 1:06:11
  up stuff for me. OK.
• 1:06:14
  So Dallon is going to do an affiliate?
• 1:06:16
  Yes, I would think of this as everybody you know is doing
• 1:06:19
  this. OK, yeah, except for those who
• 1:06:23
  have already. Qualified except for.
• 1:06:24
  Well, and they can. They just don't count my first
• 1:06:29
  pick. You want to go down the line,
• 1:06:30
  I'll do a first pick, you'll do a second and third, and then
• 1:06:32
  we're all in agreeance. I'll try, I didn't put that in
• 1:06:35
  order. I think we'll get a lot of them
• 1:06:36
  the same. Yeah.
• 1:06:39
  My first pick for this one is going to be I'm going to say
• 1:06:45
  Colton wins the online qualifier.
• 1:06:46
  I'm going to say he wins it. It's going to be really
• 1:06:48
  impressive. And this means a lot more like
• 1:06:52
  if he were to do this, this means a lot more to me than the
• 1:06:56
  Open. It actually means like I will be
• 1:07:00
  very impressed with it, but I'm going to call him to do it.
• 1:07:05
  Dallon is like my initial thought and Jeff like Dallon.
• 1:07:08
  Jeff and Colton are my top three.
• 1:07:10
  But I'm not too worried about the the placement because we'll
• 1:07:12
  never. No, no, I'm not either.
• 1:07:13
  I'm not either, but I'm calling him to win this right And then
• 1:07:16
  he wins this and he wins the affiliate in affiliate semi
• 1:07:19
  final and it's just it's going to get a lot of like a lot of
• 1:07:26
  hype. You know what I'm saying?
• 1:07:27
  And I'm excited. I'm excited for it also.
• 1:07:30
  I do want to announce this. I guess it's a good time to
• 1:07:32
  announce this. Colton Mertens will also be on
• 1:07:36
  my Grid League team. No shit.
• 1:07:39
  And it's going to be amazing. Colton, are you ever?
• 1:07:42
  Going to have a weekend. Off.
• 1:07:44
  Now listen. Listen now.
• 1:07:45
  Hey, hey, listen. It's just just for July.
• 1:07:49
  We have two matches. It's like July, it's like half
• 1:07:51
  your matches though. It's half the season.
• 1:07:53
  Yeah, yeah, yeah. So we we have like a double
• 1:07:56
  header in July. He's not going to come to the
• 1:07:58
  May 1 or the one in June, but he's going to come to the two in
• 1:08:01
  July in Dallas. So if get hyped because it's
• 1:08:05
  going to be awesome. Yeah, I'm really excited for it.
• 1:08:10
  And then like if he wants to do the championship, he's welcome
• 1:08:12
  to the championship. We signed him on the team.
• 1:08:13
  I said you just have to come to the one in July.
• 1:08:15
  You don't you don't have to do anything else.
• 1:08:17
  I basically said, hey, you don't worry about it at all.
• 1:08:21
  And then just come in July and and.
• 1:08:24
  And. And he's, and I said it now so
• 1:08:27
  he has to even if he was, even if he was joking, awesome, I.
• 1:08:33
  Bet he was. I also so Colton's on my list,
• 1:08:41
  so I think we should just. Yeah, hungry.
• 1:08:42
  I have him as well making it this way.
• 1:08:45
  Awesome. So to pay for his flight to
• 1:08:49
  Dallas, which is very short flight, the pigs have officially
• 1:08:54
  went live again. OK, along with a couple of teeny
• 1:09:01
  weenies. OK, so if you got a teeny weeny,
• 1:09:04
  we got Millie Maple and I think this one's Millie, this one's
• 1:09:09
  Maple. I get those.
• 1:09:09
  It's. Maple but.
• 1:09:11
  I call it Maple. I call it Maple.
• 1:09:14
  Calm it down and then Mr. Otis. I need a Mr. Otis for sure.
• 1:09:18
  I need to follow those Papa. And so I think we're going to
• 1:09:22
  have like a group discount if you want them all, but but you
• 1:09:25
  go to mustard seed crochet on Instagram, we're officially
• 1:09:28
  selling those. 10% of the profit will go to Colton and Alley and
• 1:09:34
  that will cover his flight. That's how much these sell.
• 1:09:37
  You know, you got to order them quick because that's we're going
• 1:09:40
  to try to cover his flight to Dallas.
• 1:09:42
  And if we don't, then he can't be on my Grid League team.
• 1:09:45
  So that's why you need to order those animals.
• 1:09:49
  And if you want to help John get to the Grid League events, you
• 1:09:54
  need to go buy Ajy Barbell shirt also.
• 1:09:58
  Don't worry about me, I'll be fine.
• 1:10:00
  I'll I'll figure a way. Do you have any shirts left or
• 1:10:03
  do they sell out? I still have shirts left but
• 1:10:07
  but. That's going to be the day you
• 1:10:12
  sell the last shirt. I really want to know.
• 1:10:17
  Feeling we got to bring this up. I can't talk this bad about
• 1:10:20
  somebody if if I'm not willing to face some music.
• 1:10:22
  So if this if this if this is the real Scott panjet, I'm going
• 1:10:28
  to treat it like it is. Yeah, I get it.
• 1:10:30
  If y'all don't black people 100%, I get it.
• 1:10:33
  I get it a lot. Also, my family has not
• 1:10:36
  accomplished what your family has accomplished.
• 1:10:39
  You would not be on a podcast talking about my family.
• 1:10:42
  Listen, Scott, Scott, I'm doing the grid leak, Scott.
• 1:10:45
  What are you doing in June and July?
• 1:10:51
  If Scott came on your team. Hey, or, or you know what, hit
• 1:10:56
  up Saxon. Hit up Saxon.
• 1:10:57
  You know he's not doing the games like I, you know I, but I
• 1:11:01
  get it. If y'all are pissed off, I would
• 1:11:03
  be too. I don't, I don't change.
• 1:11:07
  I don't, I don't change my opinion though.
• 1:11:09
  Like until one of y'all does something that I don't expect
• 1:11:11
  and it's yet to happen. So I don't change my opinion but
• 1:11:15
  I 100% get it. Oh dude he goes on the team that
• 1:11:19
  tried to cancel me. He goes, he goes on the.
• 1:11:23
  I really hope this is really Scott and I really hope he joins
• 1:11:26
  another team. He's going to join Big Mama.
• 1:11:31
  So, but I get it. I don't change my opinion about
• 1:11:35
  it. You know you all are welcome to
• 1:11:38
  change it, but doing something there?
• 1:11:40
  You go. Good news.
• 1:11:43
  All right, Yeah, Yeah, on. To Tyler, do you have somebody
• 1:11:46
  that you want to put up for qualifying through the in
• 1:11:50
  affiliate semifinal? Dally the pip.
• 1:11:53
  Mr. Pepper, hard to disagree with that one, John, do you
• 1:11:58
  agree? No, I don't disagree.
• 1:12:01
  I am going to go with the next one, Mr. Adler.
• 1:12:06
  I think that's where he's going to put all of his effort to
• 1:12:09
  qualify. Do you agree?
• 1:12:11
  I agreed this hurts a lot. If that's true, I would hope
• 1:12:15
  it's not, but if it is, that's. If it's fair, play it.
• 1:12:19
  Does hurt. God, that's a that's a genius
• 1:12:23
  play. We'll let we'll let the Spin
• 1:12:27
  podcast do the grid finals. Then John will join a team.
• 1:12:32
  Yeah, we'll get them cancelled. John will join a team and not
• 1:12:35
  get the Colton. Yeah, playing the long game.
• 1:12:39
  All right, We got Colton Dallin, Mr. Adler, John, who's your next
• 1:12:45
  one you have qualifying through the N affiliate semifinal.
• 1:12:50
  Didn't think this far ahead. What do you mean?
• 1:12:57
  Did you not, did you not plan that the N affiliate semifinals
• 1:12:59
  there, John? I just planned the top three and
• 1:13:02
  I didn't care about anybody else.
• 1:13:04
  John, this is the most important part of the whole.
• 1:13:08
  Season. I know, I know, I know.
• 1:13:10
  How about Tyler, why don't you go since?
• 1:13:12
  Yeah, here, here, here. Give me a minute and then I'll
• 1:13:14
  have the whole entire 11. I just got to.
• 1:13:17
  Sprague is my #3. For online semies, I disagree
• 1:13:21
  with that. I don't want to put that on the
• 1:13:23
  board. I haven't been there, do you
• 1:13:25
  think? He'll qualify though.
• 1:13:27
  I don't know yet. We'll hold off on Sprague since
• 1:13:33
  we don't have a A. Full my I think Ricky.
• 1:13:36
  I think Ricky would be next. I have Ricky qualifying Tyler.
• 1:13:42
  I have Ricky qualifying. You know what put James on
• 1:13:45
  there? Oh good, I'm glad we have
• 1:13:47
  John's. Let's put James on there, all
• 1:13:49
  right? We got Sprague all right.
• 1:13:51
  We're halfway. Through I didn't want to put
• 1:13:53
  James on here because I want it for another reason and like this
• 1:13:57
  isn't anything against James but y'all, y'all will see why I I
• 1:14:03
  what I see happening in my head is not that and for a reason.
• 1:14:07
  We don't want to know what's happening.
• 1:14:08
  That's. True.
• 1:14:10
  I have the guy who blocked me, Justin Medeiros.
• 1:14:15
  He is on my. List All right, well, now that
• 1:14:17
  Justin is on here, this is what I was thinking I was.
• 1:14:19
  Thinking do you say medeiros qualifies?
• 1:14:22
  No, I want Jay Crouch to qualify over Josh.
• 1:14:25
  I wanted to say Jay Crouch first.
• 1:14:28
  But that, yeah, I'm just saying is Justin does.
• 1:14:30
  Justin qualifies. He one of the 11 that qualifies.
• 1:14:36
  John's fighting this hard. He knows the right answer, but
• 1:14:38
  he doesn't want to say it. He doesn't want to.
• 1:14:40
  He doesn't want to admit it. I can put my apparent
• 1:14:43
  differences differences aside and say Justin will.
• 1:14:46
  I like Justin. I don't know what you guys are
• 1:14:48
  talking about. I'm.
• 1:14:49
  Just think he qualifies and why aren't?
• 1:14:51
  You saying it? I'm just, I'm just looking
• 1:14:54
  through things I guess. Even when he was down two years
• 1:14:57
  ago, he's still 1/4 finals. Yeah, you're right.
• 1:14:59
  You're right. You're right.
• 1:15:03
  OK, put him up there. All right, John.
• 1:15:07
  Jay Crouch. I agree.
• 1:15:10
  Tyler, I assume you agree? Jay.
• 1:15:14
  All right, Tyler, I'm going to go with oldest.
• 1:15:22
  I do not agree with that one. Really.
• 1:15:25
  Not in the qualifier or the semifinal.
• 1:15:29
  Why you think things will just be too heavy for him?
• 1:15:32
  Yeah, it'd be just one in one workout.
• 1:15:33
  That will not. They'll knock him out.
• 1:15:35
  Yeah. Damn, that's a good point.
• 1:15:38
  We can sidebar him. I have, I have.
• 1:15:42
  I have Akai assuming that he doesn't qualify through Wildland
• 1:15:46
  Fest. That's how I have him making it.
• 1:15:48
  OK, I don't. I don't.
• 1:15:49
  I don't, I don't disagree with that.
• 1:15:53
  If he doesn't, yeah, I'm, I'm for that.
• 1:15:56
  Damn it. All right, so.
• 1:15:58
  But we don't have all of us. Let's see, John.
• 1:16:03
  I'm going to go Moritz Febig. I have Febig in there, he's done
• 1:16:06
  well in online qualifiers in the past.
• 1:16:09
  But isn't he's he's shit all over CrossFit, right?
• 1:16:13
  He's in it. He did not do the World Fitness
• 1:16:15
  project. What?
• 1:16:18
  OK, then I didn't include Moritz because I thought he was just
• 1:16:23
  kind of shitting on it. But yeah, include Moritz.
• 1:16:27
  Tyler. I'm afraid you guys are I I
• 1:16:33
  want, I want this out there before.
• 1:16:36
  Well, we, we, we have another round.
• 1:16:40
  Shit, this is getting hard. I want to say Bailey.
• 1:16:44
  I OK, I I'm going to push back on that because he's going to be
• 1:16:48
  my pick for Torian. Yeah, I think for Torian has a
• 1:16:51
  whole thing. I know, I know, I know, but I
• 1:16:54
  understand. But Bailey, an online I just, I
• 1:16:58
  think 11 people in the world will be better than him and an
• 1:17:01
  online qualifier I I think. Bailey, I don't have him in here
• 1:17:04
  either, but it's not because of your reason.
• 1:17:06
  But like he, he's 50th place in the open.
• 1:17:08
  I know the open means nothing, but I go back to quarterfinals.
• 1:17:13
  OK, I'll I'll he was top 11. I do not have Bailey Martin.
• 1:17:21
  I do have Sam Quant though. I do not have Sam Quant.
• 1:17:25
  I don't, I don't think Sam Quant dude.
• 1:17:29
  I'm going to, I'm going to revoke Bailey.
• 1:17:32
  I like, I like the argument that he's going to, he's going to get
• 1:17:35
  from Torian. I would like to replace him with
• 1:17:39
  Jack Rosenma. Oh.
• 1:17:44
  After seeing what he did at World Fitness project
• 1:17:46
  qualifiers. I disagree with.
• 1:17:50
  That he's not in there. You know, I'm up to the whole
• 1:17:52
  dark horse out there to you guys.
• 1:17:53
  See what y'all think about this? OK Tudor Magda.
• 1:17:58
  He's out, isn't? He is he, I.
• 1:18:02
  Can't remember if he's he just withdraw from he just.
• 1:18:11
  Makes him passing. Mayhem.
• 1:18:13
  OK, he always does really good in online stuff.
• 1:18:17
  If he doesn't get penalized. Right.
• 1:18:19
  Yeah, that's a big and that's a big if.
• 1:18:21
  Yeah, he's still in it. We have Justin in there, right?
• 1:18:24
  Medeiros. Yes, Yeah.
• 1:18:25
  How about Fabian Benito? No.
• 1:18:29
  He does well in online qualifiers.
• 1:18:30
  I Lloyd back to look at that, the quarterfinals the last
• 1:18:33
  couple years and they're like in the top 20.
• 1:18:36
  Yeah. But when things mean everything
• 1:18:38
  to people, it's different. You have to understand this is
• 1:18:40
  everything. This is to get to the games.
• 1:18:43
  And I, I, I just think it's way, way different than just
• 1:18:46
  quarterfinals. Like I, I'm with you,
• 1:18:49
  quarterfinals is what to look at we're like programming wise.
• 1:18:52
  So right now, right now we have oldest Aniel Quan.
• 1:18:57
  Neither of you guys had Quan. No, I didn't have quant.
• 1:19:01
  And I mean and I'm fine with quant but like I just.
• 1:19:04
  Is there somebody else? Right, I'm I'm trying, I'm
• 1:19:07
  trying to think through it. Let's put quant on the list of
• 1:19:10
  maybes on the. List of maybes right now would
• 1:19:13
  be an answer if he did the freaking open.
• 1:19:15
  He's not in it. Is there anybody else that would
• 1:19:17
  say that would be added in there to be voted on?
• 1:19:21
  BK. Who?
• 1:19:23
  BKG. Honestly y'all are going to hate
• 1:19:25
  me for saying this. BKG did say it on the podcast
• 1:19:30
  today that that was where he's going to put all of his effort
• 1:19:33
  into. All.
• 1:19:35
  Right, BKG. All right, how about those four?
• 1:19:38
  OK, I'm fine. Let's just rock.
• 1:19:41
  I'm all right with that. Do do we want to do we need to
• 1:19:45
  go to a vote or do you want to throw one of those out?
• 1:19:47
  Oldest aniol quant or BKG? Well, wait a minute.
• 1:19:51
  So there's. Three throw.
• 1:19:52
  Out of those three, oldest is the throw.
• 1:19:54
  Out, I think. I think oldest is the one that's
• 1:19:55
  out of that. So then they're only voting on
• 1:19:58
  four, so the top top three votes.
• 1:20:01
  If we if we throw oldest out, we don't have to vote.
• 1:20:03
  OK, that's fine all. Right, so we got Ikai Quant.
• 1:20:15
  And yeah, and keep in mind, like, like when we're going
• 1:20:20
  through this, I'm like, oh, wow. So like all the big names,
• 1:20:23
  everybody's going to get to go. Like like it's not like if you
• 1:20:26
  go through it like who's competing?
• 1:20:28
  Everybody should I it's not going to go how you think it's
• 1:20:33
  going to go. There will be names that miss
• 1:20:35
  out. There's going to be a random
• 1:20:37
  hairy Lightfoot that we don't see coming, right?
• 1:20:40
  That does amazing. That knocks somebody like a
• 1:20:43
  Ricky Gerrard out and then he has to win a Torian.
• 1:20:47
  And, and I know he probably will win a Torian, but like,
• 1:20:49
  something always happens with some random name that you've
• 1:20:53
  never even thought of where big names will miss out.
• 1:20:58
  But whenever we're doing this exercise, it's really feels
• 1:21:01
  like, oh, we're all going to get in like, 'cause then we're
• 1:21:03
  struggling. We're.
• 1:21:05
  Talking about Jack Rosenma making it in the N affiliate
• 1:21:07
  semi final, it's the top 11 in the world and we're talking
• 1:21:11
  about Jack Rosenma. No offense to Jack, but he's not
• 1:21:15
  top 11 in the world. Bill like he was on my list
• 1:21:21
  just. I like him.
• 1:21:23
  Don't worry about that Andrew. I got it.
• 1:21:25
  Like just just chill did. You say as a person, no.
• 1:21:30
  I like it in, in person, in person, online, all right.
• 1:21:34
  Yeah. All right now the in affiliate
• 1:21:36
  semifinals are are passed US French throw down same weekend
• 1:21:40
  as the tour event one of world fitness project, which means a
• 1:21:44
  lot of the Europeans are not in this.
• 1:21:48
  This was a hard list. This is where I have oldest.
• 1:21:52
  I've got oldest and Colin Beauchard as the worst semi
• 1:21:56
  final people that make the games.
• 1:21:59
  I have. I have oldest.
• 1:22:00
  Do you have? Do you agree with that then,
• 1:22:02
  Tyler? I will, I will.
• 1:22:04
  I will accept oldest. He's not.
• 1:22:06
  He was not on my list. But now that we've changed
• 1:22:08
  things up, he's now. Yeah, you're going to.
• 1:22:09
  Have it mixed up. I have Caleb Clements.
• 1:22:13
  I'm going to rock with both. With Bosshard, is it Bosshard?
• 1:22:17
  Bosshard. I'm going to rock with Bosshard.
• 1:22:20
  I have boulanger. Oh Jesus, he couldn't.
• 1:22:23
  He was terrible. Oshard barely in his game last
• 1:22:28
  time. We won't go with blue.
• 1:22:30
  Longie, I'll go with Jon Arnd Finkenberg.
• 1:22:35
  Jon, dude, that's he's really strong.
• 1:22:38
  He's one of Bell's athletes and me.
• 1:22:41
  And me and said he's not going. No, you Jon's, Jon's really
• 1:22:46
  good. I don't know.
• 1:22:47
  He's games. He's not games good but.
• 1:22:50
  Bosshard. Jon Finkenberg, like he will
• 1:22:53
  make noise for people. People don't know that name, but
• 1:22:56
  he will win events. He's a home run hitter.
• 1:22:57
  Make noise. Finkenberg.
• 1:23:00
  All right, I got Colin Bosshard. Bosshard, Clements, or
• 1:23:06
  Finkenberg. Colin Bosshard was leading all
• 1:23:10
  three of our Callum Clements the entire way at semifinals and
• 1:23:15
  Callum Clements had a miracle workout and Cole Sager like last
• 1:23:18
  lunch to knock him out of semi finals and make it to the games
• 1:23:22
  last year A. Disaster.
• 1:23:24
  I think it's what you. Mean well for but I mean Colin
• 1:23:26
  had to do really, really bad and he had to be like second place
• 1:23:30
  and and that's what happened, right.
• 1:23:32
  I just, I just I'm not a bet against that.
• 1:23:34
  And if it happens again, then Colin boss has the Tyler
• 1:23:38
  Christopher of Europe and I just I'm going to bet against that.
• 1:23:42
  I think there's only one Tyler Christopher.
• 1:23:43
  We need a quitter T. Coachelle, watch him.
• 1:23:49
  I don't. Think that's Coach L.
• 1:23:51
  That's Coach L Looks like Coach L We need some more votes, guys.
• 1:23:55
  Bossard, Caleb Clements or yawn to Finkenberg.
• 1:24:00
  Let's go. Yawn.
• 1:24:02
  I would love nothing more for Yawn.
• 1:24:03
  I don't think he has the fitness.
• 1:24:05
  He's a big come on Yawn. Too.
• 1:24:07
  Come on, you. Guys going to vote 27 votes.
• 1:24:14
  We need 50. 50 votes is statistically significant.
• 1:24:18
  When I was looking at the Far East, there was a there was a
• 1:24:22
  June Young and I was like, that's my guy. 10 more votes
• 1:24:26
  guys, 10 more votes we. Got like him.
• 1:24:28
  Mr. Bosshard is dominating he's. Probably going to take.
• 1:24:32
  It that's Mr. Bosshard, he is going to qualify.
• 1:24:36
  OK. All right.
• 1:24:38
  Now we're moving over to Oklahoma City, the original
• 1:24:41
  location of tour event number one, but not anymore.
• 1:24:46
  TFX Invitational, West Coast of the United States only dude.
• 1:24:52
  This line up has no one on it. Well, that's my thing.
• 1:24:58
  If I was hoping Sprague and Justin weren't in it and I was
• 1:25:02
  going to go Sprague and then build Leahy and Justin's out,
• 1:25:06
  like I thought it would be like this crazy thing.
• 1:25:09
  But then we just said, Oh no, everybody's freaking making it.
• 1:25:12
  So now Bill Leahy is going to make the CrossFit Games.
• 1:25:17
  But they can't. They can't go right?
• 1:25:19
  Or are their invitations yet to be sent?
• 1:25:21
  Well, they could. They could go.
• 1:25:23
  They just won't take a game spot.
• 1:25:25
  But they don't get a spot. Why?
• 1:25:28
  Because they've already. They already have a spot in the
• 1:25:30
  N affiliate semifinal. No, like he, he's not on our.
• 1:25:33
  No, no. Holton's qualified.
• 1:25:35
  Medeiros is qualified, Sprague is qualified.
• 1:25:40
  So these are the 33 that stand to go.
• 1:25:43
  The best ones are that have not qualified already.
• 1:25:46
  Bill Leahy, Sam Quant, Chris Ibarra.
• 1:25:53
  Yeah, I'm going to go. Sager, Nate.
• 1:25:54
  Ackerman, Nick. Matthew Mitchell Stevenson will
• 1:26:00
  take third. I'm going to go Ibarra and
• 1:26:07
  Leahy. I'm going to go Leahy.
• 1:26:10
  And quant, I know you guys are going to pick quant, but no we.
• 1:26:13
  Already have quant. Oh, we do, yeah.
• 1:26:16
  OK, I'm going to go Ibarra and Leahy.
• 1:26:18
  I'll. Go Ibarra.
• 1:26:20
  I I have our Ibarra and Leahy as well.
• 1:26:23
  There you go, that was easy. That is, if if they make it how
• 1:26:29
  we think they're going to make it, that's up there with the
• 1:26:32
  French. Throwdown is like the most
• 1:26:36
  boring to watch. So do you think Matt Brady says
• 1:26:38
  don't sleep on me? There you go, Matt Brady.
• 1:26:42
  What do you think? Matt Brady, I'm going to write,
• 1:26:46
  I'm going to write your name down, Matt.
• 1:26:47
  And if you don't do anything, I'm going to remind everybody
• 1:26:50
  that you said this and I'm going to say and and if you do
• 1:26:55
  something, I'll be like he said it on the podcast.
• 1:26:57
  He's somebody that we need to remember.
• 1:26:59
  But I'm I'm going to look for just you, Matt Brady, just
• 1:27:02
  because of this comment. I know Colton would back it up.
• 1:27:05
  We'll see if you do. Yeah, All right.
• 1:27:07
  Far East throwdown. 111 I want to make a point about the TFX.
• 1:27:12
  So you think these athletes who have signed up to or the, the
• 1:27:16
  higher level athletes are going to go to TFX?
• 1:27:18
  You you don't think they'll go because they'll qualify through
• 1:27:20
  the if. They've already qualified.
• 1:27:21
  They will. I doubt they.
• 1:27:22
  Will which is going to destroy the show of.
• 1:27:24
  TFX. But yes, But yes, if they don't
• 1:27:28
  go TFX, it's going to be one of the least watched ones, yeah.
• 1:27:32
  Which means like will just run away with it.
• 1:27:35
  I don't think so, dude. I he, he's not good enough to
• 1:27:37
  run away with it. It's just, it's just I think
• 1:27:40
  he'll make a qualifying spot, but I don't think he's good
• 1:27:42
  enough to. I mean, the same thing with
• 1:27:43
  Syndicate. If you qualify, then you don't
• 1:27:46
  get invited, right? So I mean, we don't know like
• 1:27:51
  again, if, if, if Dallon qualifies in the in affiliate
• 1:27:53
  semifinal, he can't go. So shut your mouth, John, do.
• 1:28:03
  You remember when you were all in on Leahy and I was all in on
• 1:28:06
  Hatfield and I think we had a hard talk in the chat of which
• 1:28:10
  which one was going to be better than the other?
• 1:28:12
  How'd that, How'd that work out? How's it going to work out?
• 1:28:15
  Just just for from here until forever?
• 1:28:18
  We'll see Far East throw down. The online qualifier starts
• 1:28:22
  maybe today or any day, Dale, So we don't know who's actually
• 1:28:27
  going to be fighting for it. They have a separate online
• 1:28:29
  qualifier. I have Aunt Haynes.
• 1:28:35
  I got more, Taser said. I got.
• 1:28:37
  That can't go to the games because he'll get his visa
• 1:28:40
  denied. I'm going to go with it.
• 1:28:42
  I think he's going to get the spot.
• 1:28:46
  But then he'll get back filled with the Aunt Haynes.
• 1:28:48
  Yeah, I like it. I like.
• 1:28:51
  That Aunt Haynes? Yeah, Aunt Haynes gets it.
• 1:28:56
  All right, Torian Pro. You'll get more exciting on the
• 1:29:00
  women's side but for now the men, Jay Crouch, Ricky Gerrard
• 1:29:06
  have already qualified. Bailey, Martin, Man.
• 1:29:09
  Bailey, Martin Bailey. I agree and.
• 1:29:12
  And then I'm going to go, I'm going to pick somebody new.
• 1:29:17
  I'm going to go, Luke. Who?
• 1:29:20
  Luke, Leon. I want to pick our boy.
• 1:29:25
  Oh no. Petey Pete's in this pile is.
• 1:29:27
  Pete. Oh, never mind.
• 1:29:28
  No, I picked Pete. Sorry, Luke.
• 1:29:32
  I want to pick Zane, but I think Zane's still still on the way
• 1:29:36
  up. Zane I didn't.
• 1:29:37
  I didn't look at the hard. To pick him, man.
• 1:29:40
  I didn't keeper. He make it because Torian had
• 1:29:43
  the 4th workout. If he gets the backfill.
• 1:29:48
  I'm not betting he's. Too out.
• 1:29:50
  I love he. Spots out from the backfield.
• 1:29:52
  I love Pete Ellis. I'm not betting against him.
• 1:29:56
  I like Pete. I I think.
• 1:29:58
  Pete's been there. And Pete's freaking fit.
• 1:30:02
  You just got to get stronger and and fitter.
• 1:30:05
  He's just got to get better. But he's.
• 1:30:06
  Keeper, if you really believe this, text me.
• 1:30:10
  Keeper's not going to bet against his athletes.
• 1:30:12
  Tyler, right? That's fair.
• 1:30:16
  All right then, we're going to go to Rebel Renegade Games, this
• 1:30:19
  one. Oh, so we're just going to go
• 1:30:20
  with Pete? We're just going with Pete Zane.
• 1:30:23
  Zane is a bad girl. He is a bad girl that's.
• 1:30:29
  Right, Going to Africa. Rebel Renegade games.
• 1:30:33
  This one's tied to Africa and the Gulf countries, including
• 1:30:37
  UAE. Hoburg all the way, man.
• 1:30:41
  Roy, did he not? He didn't even.
• 1:30:44
  He was 1200 and 50th. Come.
• 1:30:46
  On Lucas, he's so bad online, dude, he's.
• 1:30:51
  So don't ever tell. Me, I didn't prep ever again.
• 1:30:54
  They invited him. They special invited him.
• 1:30:57
  Doesn't matter. Yeah, but he doesn't get a spot.
• 1:30:59
  There's not a lot of people that can even go to this, huh?
• 1:31:03
  Mr. Hogberg finished 1280 four 1201 qualified, that's all
• 1:31:12
  you're that's like 80 if 8484 hundred more people had signed
• 1:31:18
  up on the men's side. That's so trash so.
• 1:31:22
  Or if he was just fitter. I, I have one, this is going to
• 1:31:26
  be the first rookie that I think we're going to put on there or I
• 1:31:29
  guess no, we have Colin Bossard, this is second, and Billy, Toby
• 1:31:33
  Buckland. Toby, man, Let's go with Toby.
• 1:31:37
  That name sounds gross. I'm.
• 1:31:40
  I'm going to go. Ruan.
• 1:31:44
  Help me with the names. No, no, no, no.
• 1:31:46
  Park rider's out. Duvernay.
• 1:31:49
  Yeah, it's Ruan, right? He's got the same first name.
• 1:31:53
  Ruan Duvernay. That's who I'm going with.
• 1:31:56
  You're I think you're outvoted on this one.
• 1:31:58
  Bucklin. Y'all don't even know who these
• 1:32:00
  people are. Whatever.
• 1:32:02
  That's why we're not going to a vote because.
• 1:32:03
  I want you to write down, I want you to write down Ruan Duvernay
• 1:32:07
  because this is going to be one of them ones where I'm like,
• 1:32:10
  see, y'all are freaking just Toby Buckland is because his
• 1:32:13
  name sounds the most American. Is that why Ruan Duvernay is
• 1:32:17
  going to get it done, man? Duven Nage or Buckland?
• 1:32:23
  All right, we got let's see how fast you guys can vote and start
• 1:32:29

  I think there's an R in there, DUVER.
• 1:33:18
  Let's see. Dude Ganache.
• 1:33:21
  Duvern. It's Duvernay.
• 1:33:25
  Duvernay, you don't know that. I do hope it's stupid.
• 1:33:33
  We need to, we need to go to Google, Google Translate and
• 1:33:36
  might have her say it or what is it?
• 1:33:38
  What is it, What is it called? It's like saying names.
• 1:33:41
  What's the? I got it word for it.
• 1:33:43
  I need to know how. I need to know how to spell it
• 1:33:45
  correctly. What is?
• 1:33:49
  This dude. Where is he on here?
• 1:33:54
  I'm. Surprised Spin can't find him.
• 1:33:59
  Oh, no, you got it. You got it.
• 1:34:01
  Duvanage. It's Duvanage, all right?
• 1:34:03
  It's it's how Spin said it. Is he?
• 1:34:07
  Is he doing it? That's why I'm looking, dude.
• 1:34:11
  He's 36 years old, dude. I dude, he's he's he.
• 1:34:14
  Did not do the open. He's out.
• 1:34:15
  Ah. Toby Bucklin it is.
• 1:34:18
  How do you say it? I'll be buckling you.
• 1:34:20
  Ready. Yeah.
• 1:34:24
  Juvenage Juvenage Just. Like that, John?
• 1:34:31
  I'm I'm sorry guys, I didn't know who did the open and who
• 1:34:34
  didn't do the open in Africa. Syndicate Crown.
• 1:34:37
  All right, moving on to the Syndicate Crown.
• 1:34:40
  I got this crown who who we didn't.
• 1:34:42
  Pick this one. This one's tough because there's
• 1:34:45
  a bunch of guys that. Qualified.
• 1:34:50
  Yeah, that that have already qualified right now let's pull
• 1:34:54
  up the list and we don't know everybody that's going to
• 1:34:57
  qualify because 20 are coming from the Open, 10 are coming
• 1:34:59
  from the in affiliate semifinal who did not qualify.
• 1:35:03
  So that that makes it even more. Complicated in the East.
• 1:35:06
  In the East. Dude, this might make Syndicate
• 1:35:10
  bad. So Dowlan's in, Adler's in,
• 1:35:13
  Hatfield's in, Layman's still open, Hopper's in, Krenikoff is
• 1:35:18
  in. Dude.
• 1:35:22
  Scott Panchik, did you accept your invite?
• 1:35:26
  Man, I hope they still come. Dude, if Scott showed up they'd
• 1:35:30
  be freaking if. They if they don't still come to
• 1:35:32
  this, that's going to be a bummer man.
• 1:35:34
  What's the prize money? We don't know TBD.
• 1:35:39
  We do not know who on this list because we don't know who else
• 1:35:43
  would qualify to the N affiliate semifinal.
• 1:35:46
  But you assume that if they're here, all right, I got it.
• 1:35:51
  I would say Seth Soball isn't an option there if you feel like
• 1:35:54
  that. I went with do what you want me
• 1:35:59
  to do, one or both. Throw one out there for now,
• 1:36:02
  Tanner Blaz. For real, that's cool.
• 1:36:06
  Take all these names. Take all.
• 1:36:08
  These names off this list. You're, you're, you're not
• 1:36:11
  wrong. It's just, it's just coming from
• 1:36:13
  you. It's that now I don't.
• 1:36:14
  I know, I know, I reckon. I'll throw out one you guys will
• 1:36:17
  agree with Jack Rosamo. Oh, I like that.
• 1:36:22
  I like that. You know who I'm going for?
• 1:36:23
  Number 2 is Ty Jenkins. I think he breaks in and does
• 1:36:27
  it. He won Watapalooza, RX he clean
• 1:36:31
  hang clean like 350 or something like that.
• 1:36:34
  Dude, I if you win RX and Watapalooza, it is a good omen
• 1:36:38
  for you on the year, OK, That's happened a lot where people made
• 1:36:42
  the breakthrough of their games after they won RX and
• 1:36:45
  Watapalooza. I'm going to go.
• 1:36:47
  Ty Jenkins is going to do it, and I'm with you on Jack.
• 1:36:52
  Dude, I'm going to, I'm going to build my case for when the
• 1:36:55
  people vote on this. Tanner did he, he hit a couple.
• 1:37:00
  He hit a few homers that crash. He also hit a couple of
• 1:37:04
  strikeouts that crash. But he's been training with
• 1:37:08
  Alexis. He #1 he's leaned up like crazy.
• 1:37:11
  He looks way fitter. He is way fitter.
• 1:37:13
  I'm buying into the fact that he's training like a freaking
• 1:37:16
  madman right now. And if you take away, if you
• 1:37:20
  take away his he had the handstand walk where he got no
• 1:37:24
  Rep that crash, if he gave him his time or just like five more
• 1:37:27
  seconds, he ends up like 5th place.
• 1:37:30
  I think like it's he went from like 10th to 5th or something
• 1:37:33
  because that one he went from like a third place to like last
• 1:37:38
  because of that. I don't I don't mind Tanner
• 1:37:43
  pick. I really don't, Tyler.
• 1:37:44
  I'm just going to go with Ty Jenkins.
• 1:37:47
  I'm just going to go Ty. First, keeping it real.
• 1:37:50
  Thanks for John. I don't know why.
• 1:37:53
  Thank you, Kevin. Just.
• 1:37:54
  To I'm going to throw Sam Cornwalle in the in the mix.
• 1:38:00
  Yeah, I get it, but I don't want it so.
• 1:38:03
  Those are the three we're voting for Tanner Blahs, which is
• 1:38:09
  Alexis's training partner, Ty Jenkins and Sam Cornwalle.
• 1:38:16
  Listen, Sam is the fittest guy. You just don't know what you can
• 1:38:18
  expect him. You don't even know if he wants
• 1:38:19
  to do the games like you. Just his wants and desires and
• 1:38:23
  what he ends up doing. Like he's about as unpredictable
• 1:38:26
  as they get. I think what it fits, I think it
• 1:38:29
  fits J Rs programming better than Ty or. 01 hunt dude if Sam
• 1:38:34
  if Sam wanted it 100% but I thought he was done with the
• 1:38:39
  season. I thought he was done too.
• 1:38:40
  I. Thought he said that he was
• 1:38:42
  done, no. He's going to mayhem.
• 1:38:45
  He's. Competing there was a video.
• 1:38:46
  Yeah, he said. He's, I thought he said he was
• 1:38:49
  retiring. He's competing at Mayhem.
• 1:38:51
  How is that retiring? I thought he said it.
• 1:38:54
  He did not say he was retiring. He said he didn't know what his
• 1:38:56
  future holds. It was a wishy washy, just like
• 1:39:00
  Moritz. We don't know.
• 1:39:03
  Oh man, it's going back and forth between Ty and and Sammy.
• 1:39:07
  I want it noted that I my second pick was says the ball.
• 1:39:11
  I didn't accept. It but you hold on.
• 1:39:21
  See. Yeah, yeah, he said it.
• 1:39:26
  He did not retire. You've been in real, said it
• 1:39:27
  twice. He.
• 1:39:31
  He did. He said there's something,
• 1:39:33
  there's 50% facts here, but I'm leaning with John on this and
• 1:39:36
  you know, I remember. Him saying he's done with the
• 1:39:39
  CrossFit 47. Votes.
• 1:39:41
  We need three more votes. Ty Jenkins is leading now.
• 1:39:46
  Sam Corn Royer. How many of these votes you
• 1:39:53
  think are Grant? He's probably voted on all three
• 1:39:56
  of his burner accounts. I'm using my hi.
• 1:39:59
  Jenkins wins it. Wow.
• 1:40:02
  Ty Jenkins. I hope he comes through, man.
• 1:40:05
  I like Ty. Ty's a great guy and I think
• 1:40:07
  he's on the up and up and up and I don't think we've seen his
• 1:40:13
  full potential and we had this thing span about like what team
• 1:40:16
  could breakthrough. I just think it'd be really,
• 1:40:19
  really cool if that was the case.
• 1:40:21
  I like OK, again, this is a heart pick, but I'm rooting for
• 1:40:25
  it. Sam Conway is the fittest guy
• 1:40:30
  left, but I just didn't think he was doing it.
• 1:40:34
  Hold on all. Right, we got three more Norcal
• 1:40:36
  Classic. This is the somewhat of a last
• 1:40:40
  chance. I'm going to learn.
• 1:40:43
  Those culture around. I listened to Sam's video, he
• 1:40:46
  just said he didn't know what his plan was.
• 1:40:48
  So told you here. Exactly.
• 1:40:50
  And he's going to do Mayhem Classic.
• 1:40:53
  And then he's going to break his back doing Heavy Isabel and not
• 1:40:56
  come back. Yeah, Norcal Classic.
• 1:41:01
  Who do you guys got? Drake Lewis let.
• 1:41:08
  Me. Go look at that roster.
• 1:41:10
  Northern California Classic leaderboard.
• 1:41:15
  And Bryson Delmonte. Did he, Did Bryson qualify for
• 1:41:19
  it? I don't know if he did or not.
• 1:41:21
  Let's see, Colton's already in there.
• 1:41:23
  Drake Lewis is there. Yuri Hans is there.
• 1:41:29
  Haynes. Matthias Porter, Max Krieg, Nick
• 1:41:33
  Matthew, Nicholas Padone. He's in everything.
• 1:41:37
  Dude, him and Janie Chevery. Ty Jenkins is in this one.
• 1:41:43
  Sam. He is in everything.
• 1:41:44
  Are you on comp corner right now?
• 1:41:46
  Spin. Yes, yeah.
• 1:41:47
  There's a name that I'm looking for that I don't think you will
• 1:41:50
  say. Adam McAdams, Mac.
• 1:41:53
  No, not Adams. Mac Adams.
• 1:41:54
  Mac. That is.
• 1:41:56
  That is amazing though. Matthias.
• 1:42:00
  Daryl is already in. CJ, Gerald.
• 1:42:04
  I had Nick Matthew as one of them.
• 1:42:08
  That's a decent pick. Trayvon.
• 1:42:12
  All right, I have my second pick.
• 1:42:14
  It's going to shock the fire out of y'all.
• 1:42:16
  Who? Chad Cackert.
• 1:42:18
  OK, who are we going with for #1?
• 1:42:20
  I have Nick Matthew. Drake.
• 1:42:23
  It's gross. Who do you got, John?
• 1:42:27
  Who do you got? I mean, I don't think it's bad,
• 1:42:30
  but it's gross. You're just not happy about it.
• 1:42:34
  Yeah, I'm going to go Max Creek. No.
• 1:42:39
  Max Creek of who's left? Who's left?
• 1:42:42
  Dude he destroyed naked crap. That's your number one pick.
• 1:42:48
  He's too big for their programming.
• 1:42:50
  You are not confident in that? Yep.
• 1:42:53
  I am, I am. I think Colton's still going to
• 1:42:55
  do it and went listen all Max, it doesn't matter.
• 1:42:58
  No I know is he gets second or or he gets 3rd.
• 1:43:01
  I'm going Max Creek and then my second pick and then and listen
• 1:43:09
  is this is going to happen because I just because I said it
• 1:43:11
  was going to happen and then when I say it, it usually
• 1:43:13
  happens is Ilya Moskalenko. No, you're ruining your own
• 1:43:19
  word, right? There, Tyler, who do you got?
• 1:43:21
  Ilya Moskalinko, you wait and watch.
• 1:43:24
  No, just because you can snatch a gazillion pounds, he's like.
• 1:43:26
  He's super fat man Tyler. Super fit.
• 1:43:29
  Who do you got? I will.
• 1:43:30
  I will put Nick Matthews in second.
• 1:43:32
  Do you? Have anybody else?
• 1:43:34
  No. Why?
• 1:43:35
  Because. We need to put a vote down
• 1:43:38
  because John doesn't think Nick Matthew will qualify.
• 1:43:40
  We got Krieg. I don't think Greg will qualify.
• 1:43:45
  I know. Do you, do you not like Drake?
• 1:43:47
  For real? I think every person you've said
• 1:43:51
  that is Krieg has beaten all of these people.
• 1:43:55
  Every person. Both of you have said Krieg has
• 1:43:58
  beaten all of these people in the competitions that they are
• 1:44:00
  against. Every one of them, not one has
• 1:44:03
  Krieg been below the people that you are saying, both of you.
• 1:44:08
  So when you're so down on Max Krieg, I don't see where that's
• 1:44:11
  coming from. Just because he hasn't made it
• 1:44:13
  before, nobody else is there. I want to throw a muskarella in
• 1:44:17
  there. Like you're going to come at me
• 1:44:19
  with Phillip Muskarella and give me crap about Maximilian Creek.
• 1:44:23
  And never once mentioned Selvon Rat Rat Jam Tan bam.
• 1:44:30
  No, I'm I'm, I'm I'm an anti. Muskarella has at least been to
• 1:44:33
  the games. All right, here we go.
• 1:44:36
  We got to pick two of these guys.
• 1:44:38
  Top 2 drag clue at you Muskaleo or Muskarella?
• 1:44:44
  No, you got you guys say Ilya Moskalinko.
• 1:44:46
  Moskalinko is in there. OK, hey, let me tell you, Ilya
• 1:44:51
  was 7th last year at the Norcal Classic and Colton and Taylor
• 1:44:54
  were both there and Tudor was there.
• 1:44:56
  Every person that we've said so far, Ilya beat all of them and
• 1:45:00
  in the thruster, in the thruster ring muscle up workout, the one
• 1:45:03
  that Colton was the only one that finished Taylor, he beat
• 1:45:07
  Taylor in that workout. He was second place in that
• 1:45:11
  workout and the thruster ring muscle up Calzu 1 you know what
• 1:45:15
  I'm talking about. Yes.
• 1:45:19
  He was second place in that. He beat everybody, beat Ibarra
• 1:45:22
  and Taylor in that workout in a ring.
• 1:45:24
  Muscle up thruster workout. It is.
• 1:45:27
  We're at 37 votes, but we are Moskalinko and Muskarella have
• 1:45:31
  zero chance. It is Nick Matthew.
• 1:45:33
  Kiefer I said the people that they have said not, not the
• 1:45:36
  people in the comments. And Mr. Krieg, all right.
• 1:45:39
  Last chance qualifier, dude. Oh, I I did want to make the
• 1:45:45
  point about Norcal Classic because they still have invites
• 1:45:48
  that they can give. They can do that whenever they
• 1:45:50
  want. Yeah, they're going to probably
• 1:45:51
  wait until after syndicate. Everybody's not in syndicate,
• 1:45:55
  but like at least in in affiliate, last chance
• 1:45:57
  qualifier. Guys, I'm going, I'm going with
• 1:46:00
  Nicholas Badoon, man. He's been trying all.
• 1:46:03
  Year he. We're going to give it to him.
• 1:46:05
  He. He has missed it eight straight
• 1:46:07
  times. OK, I think Nicholas Badoon
• 1:46:09
  comes out here and freaking does it.
• 1:46:11
  I haven't. We haven't talked about it all.
• 1:46:13
  Travis Mayer do. You think he just does the LCQ?
• 1:46:18
  I mean he may do syndicate but. Yeah.
• 1:46:21
  We haven't talked about Travis and I don't know, we're last.
• 1:46:25
  I didn't think he was doing it, I thought he was just world
• 1:46:27
  finished projects. He's great from home gym too.
• 1:46:33
  Who's left that could beat Travis Mayer if Travis really
• 1:46:37
  tries in a in a in a quarterfinal level?
• 1:46:41
  Or then I would take, I would take Ty Jenkins out and I'd put
• 1:46:43
  Travis Mayer then. Ty Jenkins where?
• 1:46:46
  Add a syndicate. Travis Mayer's doing syndicate.
• 1:46:49
  We don't, but we don't know if Travis is going to.
• 1:46:51
  We don't know if Travis is going to qualify or go to syndicate.
• 1:46:55
  OK. I think if Travis goes to
• 1:46:57
  syndicate then he would he would make it.
• 1:46:59
  We just don't know if he's qualified yet.
• 1:47:01
  I just put him in last chance. I like it, Travis.
• 1:47:06
  Mayer. I don't know.
• 1:47:07
  I mean, I feel bad for Nicholas, man.
• 1:47:09
  He's tried, too. Bad John.
• 1:47:11
  I think if Nicholas Badoon does the French Throwdown TFX, he's a
• 1:47:18
  he's done eight straight competitions.
• 1:47:21
  I hear I'm I'm just, I'm, I'm on the Nicholas Badoon.
• 1:47:24
  I hear ya, I just don't. Think, I think we put it to a
• 1:47:28
  pole. I think we see who the people
• 1:47:30
  want. Do they want Nicholas Badoon to
• 1:47:33
  go to the games after trying? He's like the he's like Rudy
• 1:47:37
  right now, guys. He's missed it every single
• 1:47:40
  time. Are we going to go with Travis
• 1:47:42
  Mayer? Who's the fitter guy all?
• 1:47:45
  Right, here we go. If we want to be boring and just
• 1:47:50
  say, yeah, this guy's fitter in every single way and you know,
• 1:47:53
  it's probably make the games and he's made the games eight times
• 1:47:56
  in his life. I I get it.
• 1:47:58
  But if we want to have a heart and we want to dream, if we dare
• 1:48:02
  to dream. What are you talking about?
• 1:48:04
  And we're going to pick Nicholas Badude.
• 1:48:06
  Guys, dare to dream. If I I had a.
• 1:48:10
  Dream that Nicholas Badude made the CrossFit Games in the Last
• 1:48:14
  Chance qualifier if he's going. To be tired, Johnny said.
• 1:48:18
  It could be 18 times and he's going.
• 1:48:21
  To be ready Retired. Span What country is he from?
• 1:48:25
  Colombia. That that white people and black
• 1:48:29
  people and Colombian people could share in arms and
• 1:48:33
  community and make it to the CrossFit Games.
• 1:48:36
  That is the dream that I have. 48 votes, 75% go to Mr. Mayor.
• 1:48:41
  Y'all are so trash man. Are you kidding me right now?
• 1:48:45
  There you go. Have a dream?
• 1:48:47
  We are running super late. We better, we better get going.
• 1:48:50
  We're going to play. Name the winner.
• 1:48:52
  We still got to do the women, dude.

• 1:49:06
  the name the male winner of every event.
• 1:49:11
  All right. Do you want let let Tyler go 1st
• 1:49:13
  and then I go like how do you want to do that?
• 1:49:18
  Yeah, I mean you, you guys are just working as a team.
• 1:49:20
  Pure paddle. I I know them all.
• 1:49:23
  You know Yonakoski. Yonakoski.
• 1:49:26
  Yonakoski, that's what I was said.
• 1:49:27
  The sandbag. Lucas Hoberg, Tyler Murphy, DKG.
• 1:49:32
  Quit. John, you're making the speed
• 1:49:34
  ladder. OK?
• 1:49:35
  That's what I'm saying. Do you want me to give you
• 1:49:37
  stories about what happened on them too?
• 1:49:38
  You're pretty good at that, but they'll take longer, Tyler.
• 1:49:44
  I I can't remember distracted me Sandbag 2015.
• 1:49:50
  Matt Fraser was second. Who did you say?
• 1:49:53
  You already said it, so go ahead and say it.
• 1:49:54
  Say a name and then I'll say it. Hoberg, OK.
• 1:49:58
  Merv 20/15/2015 This is the one where Carr about fainted and
• 1:50:03
  died. That would be is that the it's
• 1:50:06
  either Josh, is it Josh or if it's not Josh, it's BKG.
• 1:50:10
  Yeah, OK, so make your pick, OK? Josh was pissed off, right?
• 1:50:13
  Because he wasn't happening. There you go.
• 1:50:15
  Good job. All right, now the the snatch
• 1:50:18
  speed ladder. This guy's a cop.
• 1:50:20
  You would have never heard his name.
• 1:50:21
  His first name's my name and he's a cop that does nothing but
• 1:50:24
  snatch and has a mustache. John.
• 1:50:32
  This is the one where Ben Smith or Easy about knocked himself
• 1:50:35
  out. Ben Smith failed a whole bunch.
• 1:50:37
  Come on, come on. What's his?
• 1:50:38
  Name. I don't know.
• 1:50:39
  I don't know. His name's John.
• 1:50:42
  Para. All right, DT.
• 1:50:45
  Heavy. DT again.
• 1:50:47
  Matt Fraser was second. Ben.
• 1:50:49
  Smith. Had a baby, Tyler.
• 1:50:51
  There we go. You really thought you really
• 1:50:54
  thought you you thought we were going to have it be a team here
• 1:50:57
  Spin. Did you really think this?
• 1:50:59
  You don't think I have all this on back call like that?
• 1:51:02
  I'm a little bit offended at it. No.
• 1:51:04
  Do I have every single event plays in my head like a freaking
• 1:51:06
  movie? Dude that's crazy.
• 1:51:08
  Sprint score, of course. One was Dan Bailey.
• 1:51:11
  Yes, Sir. Come on.
• 1:51:12
  And if he was Sprint course one, who?
• 1:51:13
  Sprint Course 2. That would be Matt Fraser.
• 1:51:16
  Not Dan Bailey Tyler. Matt Fraser.
• 1:51:19
  Lost the games in these sprints 'cause he can't run fast.
• 1:51:24
  Matt Fraser, he was like third, third in this one.
• 1:51:27
  I was thinking about that other Sprint event.
• 1:51:29
  I forget that they're. Both.
• 1:51:31
  Soccer chipper all. Right soccer chipper.
• 1:51:33
  That would be Jason Khalipa. Nope.
• 1:51:37
  OK. Spencer Handel was second to
• 1:51:39
  Jason Khalipa wouldn't. Do it.
• 1:51:40
  No, that's the burden. Run.
• 1:51:42
  Sorry. That's you're good, you're good.
• 1:51:43
  You're good, you're good. OK?
• 1:51:44
  Spencer Handel was second. Soccer.
• 1:51:46
  He moved it. It's all who can move the pig.
• 1:51:49
  It was just, it was handstand walking and moving the pig and
• 1:51:54
  and like there was like there was there was there was pig
• 1:51:56
  legless rope climbs and then the handstand walk.
• 1:51:59
  Fraser did not win this. 1 Fraser was very bad at this one.
• 1:52:02
  Spencer Handel moved the pig better than everybody else, but
• 1:52:05
  there was one other guy who had a really good games.
• 1:52:09
  Come on. Fraser sucked, so that meant
• 1:52:14
  that means who was good. Fraser was bad, so who was good?
• 1:52:18
  Ben Smith. Ben Smith.
• 1:52:19
  There we go. Let's go.
• 1:52:22
  All right. Do not.
• 1:52:24
  Say OK. You got no shot on this one,
• 1:52:27
  Tyler. I'm just You want me to just say
• 1:52:29
  it? Just go ahead and say it.
• 1:52:32
  Here, here. No, no, we got a better hand.
• 1:52:33
  OK, OK. Moses brother is his first name
• 1:52:38
  and then Blank Black who has a really big snatch is his last
• 1:52:44
  name. Come on, Tyler.
• 1:52:49
  OK, Noah. Noah Whose brother?
• 1:52:53
  Moses. Man Moses's brother Moses.
• 1:52:55
  Jacob, What's his brother? 'S name.
• 1:52:58
  Noah Tyler. I'm bad on.
• 1:53:00
  The spot like this? All right, all right, Key and
• 1:53:02
  Peele, Key and Peele, the name. When the substitute teacher says
• 1:53:05
  the names, what's the number? What's the number one name?
• 1:53:07
  He messes up. Aaron.
• 1:53:10
  Boom, that's the first name. And then blank black with a
• 1:53:12
  really big snatch. Athlete.
• 1:53:15
  I don't think he's, I don't think that's going to hit a man.
• 1:53:17
  Not this guy, Blank Black. She has a really big snatch.
• 1:53:23
  Comments don't ruin this. Aaron Hannah.
• 1:53:26
  There you go. Good job, good job we're going
• 1:53:28
  to get. That this is just blank black
• 1:53:30
  was. Throwing me off.
• 1:53:32
  All right, all right, triangle couplet, this is bar muscle ups
• 1:53:35
  and thrusters. Who's the best at that?
• 1:53:37
  Who's always? I mean, not Ben Smith, but Matt
• 1:53:40
  Fraser. OK, Are you ready now?
• 1:53:49
  This is where they this is where they ran and they carried the
• 1:53:51
  yoke, OK, They ran around the burden run, not the burden run
• 1:53:55
  the erm and they carried the yoke.
• 1:53:57
  Matt Fraser had the shortest yoke and he was beating
• 1:53:59
  everybody, but he slowed down because he was like, I'm going
• 1:54:02
  to conserve energy for some reason.
• 1:54:04
  And then one guy who was 20/15/2016, that was it.
• 1:54:08
  And I mean, he had other years, but that these were his main
• 1:54:10
  years, who's really good at aerobic capacity passed him up
• 1:54:14
  and beat him. Hepner.
• 1:54:16
  Yeah, good job, Tyler. All right, Pendleton the medal
• 1:54:21
  one and Pendleton the medal two. He he was just the best of the
• 1:54:25
  pegboard. That's all this comes down to
• 1:54:27
  really. Same guy he did also did really
• 1:54:32
  good in the soccer chipper. This guy always does.
• 1:54:34
  Taylor likes his dad. Yeah, this guy always does
• 1:54:36
  really good at the end of the end of the.
• 1:54:38
  Competition. Who likes his dad?
• 1:54:40
  Taylor likes his dad. Spencer.
• 1:54:44
  Yeah, good job. There you go.
• 1:54:49
  Straight up offended you thought this was going to be a team
• 1:54:53
  effort spin. I would have you can just you
• 1:54:57
  can pick a year so badly. Pick a year and I'll do the
• 1:55:00
  whole thing like that. Men and women.
• 1:55:02
  I can't. I can't believe that.
• 1:55:04
  Why is that? Tism coming out on YouTube.
• 1:55:06
  I'm a. Senior analyst for a reason.
• 1:55:08
  Nobody could do this. Like I can do this.
• 1:55:11
  I can't believe you would think this would be a challenge.
• 1:55:14
  The game should be how many, how many athletes can John describe
• 1:55:20
  to me in like a minute? Yes, I think we should give me a
• 1:55:23
  minute and then me like try to have to tell Tyler out that I
• 1:55:27
  that's. Was it the pyramid?
• 1:55:29
  Was it the pyramid? The old game show?
• 1:55:32
  Yeah. Yeah, yeah, that $100,000
• 1:55:35
  pyramid. Yeah, yeah.
• 1:55:37
  Because if John can talk me into it, they, they, he's fucking on
• 1:55:40
  it. Dude, I yeah, I like that
• 1:55:43
  because I'm going to have to try to pick what Tyler knows.
• 1:55:45
  I was like, OK, Bible did. Bible did not work.
• 1:55:48
  Key and Peele. Key and Peele.
• 1:55:50
  I like it. I've always been bad at the
• 1:55:52
  family members. If they're not a main character,
• 1:55:54
  I don't know them. Aaron sorta was.
• 1:55:56
  He was a side character, but. All right, we got to go through.
• 1:56:00
  We got this, we got this. We're going to do great.
• 1:56:02
  Women back to the Mayhem Classic next weekend.
• 1:56:07
  Alexis Raptors, Danielle Brandon, Hayley Adams, Brooke
• 1:56:13
  Wells, Emily Rolfe. I know the way that this is
• 1:56:19
  going to go. So I think we all agree on
• 1:56:22
  Alexis. I'm going to say Danielle
• 1:56:24
  Brandon. I'll see it.
• 1:56:26
  I say Alexis and Danielle. I say Abby, Domit, I know that.
• 1:56:30
  I know that the crowd is going to go with Danielle, so just do
• 1:56:34
  Danielle. OK.
• 1:56:40
  We haven't, we've not seen, we've not seen Domit beat
• 1:56:44
  Danielle in anything yet. It's going to happen, dude.
• 1:56:47
  I'm. I'm I'm with spin on that.
• 1:56:50
  It might. I don't think it's an
• 1:56:51
  impossibility, but I think we have to give Danielle Brandon
• 1:56:54
  her flowers. I feel like everybody's down on
• 1:56:56
  Danielle Brandon all the time, and I think I think she's a lot
• 1:57:00
  better than people want to give her credit for.
• 1:57:02
  Copa Sewer, this one is. Can we just write names down?
• 1:57:09
  I would like to write down loose Lucia Varetti.
• 1:57:14
  Let's do it. 'Cause she, she, she's been on
• 1:57:18
  the come up for several years. I did a little bit of looking
• 1:57:21
  and I think she's going to do good.
• 1:57:23
  That sounds great. Put her down so.
• 1:57:24
  Here's the thing with Copa Sewer, nobody that qualified
• 1:57:28
  like recently at all is even in this thing, there's nobody from
• 1:57:35
  the last few years that has qualified.
• 1:57:38
  I would like to put down Sylvia Hermesia.
• 1:57:44
  That sounds great. Hermes, Hermes.
• 1:57:48
  Hermesia. I want to go.
• 1:57:50
  With no, no, no, no, no Sylvia Hermesia, I want to put it down.
• 1:57:54
  What? I also.
• 1:57:59
  Sylvia Hermesia. I know, I know.
• 1:58:02
  I'm struggling on her name, but Sylvia Hermesia, Nobody's ever
• 1:58:06
  heard of this girl. I'm telling you, she's gonna
• 1:58:09
  make it. It's gonna, she's gonna
• 1:58:10
  everybody's gonna be like, who the freak is this?
• 1:58:12
  She probably won't do good when she gets there, but I'm telling
• 1:58:14
  you, she's gonna make it. John, she's not even on the list
• 1:58:17
  of athletes that qualify. Dude.
• 1:58:20
  You're not a believer, you asshole.
• 1:58:22
  You're seeing everything through the bad way.
• 1:58:23
  Hey, hey, I just made-up a name. I was hoping we could just put
• 1:58:26
  it back. I just, I just, I just made-up a
• 1:58:29
  name. That's how much this does not
• 1:58:30
  matter right now. Span.
• 1:58:32
  I am going with Andrade, yes, that's who I was going to say.
• 1:58:37
  She has. She's not competing there,
• 1:58:39
  Chief. OK.
• 1:58:42
  Wadlin Fest. Let's see.
• 1:58:46
  Lucy. Yeah, there's some invites on
• 1:58:52
  this one. Lucy Campbell, Sarah Sigmund's
• 1:58:57
  daughter, Matilda Garnes, but she's not did not compete in the
• 1:59:01
  Open. Ella Wilkinson, Karen Freyova,
• 1:59:05
  who also cannot compete. Let's see, I'm.
• 1:59:11
  Just looking for names that sound good.
• 1:59:13
  Names what? Yes.
• 1:59:17
  That one doesn't. I really feel like the I really
• 1:59:23
  feel like not having a roster out by now is a problem.
• 1:59:26
  I mean, it is ridiculous. On the online qualifier, Yasmin
• 1:59:33
  Ger Gerlardi won the Andrea Solberg 3 Helga Daughter, Leia
• 1:59:39
  Storin, Connie Easbee. She was in the semifinal last
• 1:59:45
  year. Madeline Pearson, Amanda Fusuma
• 1:59:50
  from Brazil. Fusuma.
• 1:59:53
  Andrew Moistus. Moist toilette.
• 1:59:56
  Sun Yuan Troy is in this one. Emily Rethwill Bar Mormon, Var.
• 2:00:04
  Thurman, MO. Can you spend I'm I'm going to
• 2:00:07
  go Lucy Campbell and Terry how good daughter.
• 2:00:10
  Terry, you're wrong about Terry. I like Terry.
• 2:00:15
  Campbell, I'm going. Andrea Solberg.
• 2:00:18
  Not Sarah, Sigmund's daughter. When has Andrea made anything
• 2:00:21
  ever? You don't think Sigmund Sutter
• 2:00:23
  can make it? I don't know, I I'm kind of.
• 2:00:26
  I think Sarah's the girl we want to be good.
• 2:00:28
  That's just never going to be good.
• 2:00:29
  I'm. Going to be there.
• 2:00:32
  Who do you guys got? I got Teri Helga daughter.
• 2:00:36
  Sober I have solberg. I think Solberg is.
• 2:00:40
  Better, when has Solberg ever done anything to make anything
• 2:00:44
  in person? She did better than 30 Helga
• 2:00:47
  daughter last year in the semifinals.
• 2:00:50
  It doesn't. But made it.
• 2:00:53
  You can't make that argument. 30 is definitely on the way down
• 2:00:57
  and like. She is on the way down.
• 2:00:59
  She is. Like it's over, the sun has set.
• 2:01:01
  I'm saying the Sun's never came up for Andrea.
• 2:01:05
  It's. It's on the way up.
• 2:01:08
  No, it's not. It's stayed the same down her
• 2:01:11
  whole career. Listen, night.
• 2:01:15
  It's she. She lives in Alaska and it's not
• 2:01:18
  summertime, OK? It's nine months of night.
• 2:01:22
  It's fair, it's not summer time. Well, this doesn't matter, we
• 2:01:28
  both agree. Hell, good daughter, Why is my
• 2:01:32
  computer super slow? But Terry has made the game so
• 2:01:35
  far. We know she has.
• 2:01:36
  And she's very good at Olympic lifting and unless it's a Max
• 2:01:40
  out because she's small, but she's good at gymnastics like,
• 2:01:44
  and The thing is, women are better than Terry.
• 2:01:47
  Women are better than Terry. None of them are doing it.
• 2:01:52
  We're doing it. Are doing.
• 2:01:57
  With like, I just, I can't get on the dude I like.
• 2:02:01
  I like Tori, She's got a lot of fight in her.
• 2:02:04
  She's a great competitor. It's just she's done.
• 2:02:07
  Y'all won in sober or spin won in sober last year and I said
• 2:02:11
  why? Because she looks real pretty
• 2:02:14
  online and it's just it's not like that in person.
• 2:02:18
  She's never been that in person. Brady, Solberg or Sigmund's
• 2:02:25
  daughter? I, Sigmund's daughter might get
• 2:02:28
  the vote. Sarah and Andrea, just this,
• 2:02:33
  both of them. It's out there, the polls out.
• 2:02:36
  Both of them just have to like I just don't believe in them and
• 2:02:39
  like until they until they show me that they can, I just don't
• 2:02:42
  believe in them. Maybe it's my fault.
• 2:02:45
  We should be able to write down dark horse because I think this
• 2:02:47
  is a good opportunity for a dark horse.
• 2:02:49
  I think they're all dark horses. Like Ella, Ella Wilkinson could
• 2:02:53
  like, sweep in there? We have no idea.
• 2:02:54
  I mean, I wouldn't be shocked if if anybody made it, any of the
• 2:02:58
  names that are there who made it.
• 2:02:59
  I wouldn't be shocked unless Lucy didn't make it.
• 2:03:02
  It's close. Solberg is winning right now. 27
• 2:03:05
  votes. Hurry up, guys, hurry up.
• 2:03:06
  Vote, vote. 31 votes. That's statistically
• 2:03:15
  significant, according to John. That's young.
• 2:03:18
  Significant. We have 34 votes.
• 2:03:19
  We are within. 3%, if it's close, I think we, I think we go
• 2:03:23
  to 50. We I keep it's within 3%.
• 2:03:26
  We're at 36 votes. Oh man, it's a recount.
• 2:03:29
  Solberg is starting to pull away.
• 2:03:33
  Come on guys. There's come on, five. 145
• 2:03:35
  people watching and we have 437 votes.
• 2:03:39
  That's pathetic. That's like the the view rate of
• 2:03:43
  other podcasts. Which ones, John?
• 2:03:47
  Others just. Lots of others.
• 2:03:48
  Others. Yeah, my. 40 votes.
• 2:03:52
  We got the 12 viewers on my religious podcast on my
• 2:03:56
  Christian podcast the other day and we no, we were no his first
• 2:04:00
  time in double digits is a big deal.
• 2:04:02
  You're tied at 42 votes. You're.
• 2:04:06
  Kidding the. 46th they're screwed.
• 2:04:09
  Oh my gosh, three votes left. Next race of the day is freaking
• 2:04:13
  vote no Tyler you can't vote. This is just cheating 50.
• 2:04:20
  Votes Sigma's daughter wins with.
• 2:04:24
  What? What was the total split there?
• 2:04:28
  It was 40 to 36%. Nice.
• 2:04:33
  See, Kotler, you can get off our back.
• 2:04:35
  Let's see. All right, in affiliate
• 2:04:37
  semifinal for the women. Oh man.
• 2:04:41
  All right. My first one.
• 2:04:43
  My first one, Maddie Sturt. Agreed.
• 2:04:47
  I I I I concur. Not for Tyler.
• 2:04:50
  She's going. Peace Agafe.
• 2:04:55
  I have her. She's on the list.
• 2:04:57
  Low, but on the list. Grace Walton.
• 2:05:03
  Yeah. Aerial defender.
• 2:05:09
  Ariel Lowen I have that as well. John or Tyler?
• 2:05:11
  So I didn't include her on my list because I don't know what
• 2:05:14
  she's going to like. I can't tell what she's doing
• 2:05:18
  but I will put her on the list if you guys think she's going to
• 2:05:20
  go. I think she'll compete in that.
• 2:05:22
  OK. I have Hayley Adams.
• 2:05:29
  Yep. Yep.
• 2:05:30
  Emily Rolf. Yep.
• 2:05:32
  Yep. Brooke Wells.
• 2:05:35
  You can't just name them all. I did not have Brooke Wells
• 2:05:39
  coming on through this. You don't think?
• 2:05:41
  Brooke Wells is going to make it.
• 2:05:42
  I don't think she's going to do well.
• 2:05:43
  I don't think she'd be top 11 in the world on an online
• 2:05:46
  qualifier. Well, a lot of them are already
• 2:05:48
  taken out, man. A lot of the good ones.
• 2:05:51
  Who Alexis and Danielle? Yeah, that's two of them.
• 2:05:54
  Lucy and Lucy. I have Gazan Gazan.
• 2:06:00
  I have I have John, Eric of. I'm going to go with Olivia,
• 2:06:05
  Olivia Curstetter. Do you have, do you have Gazan?
• 2:06:09
  Yeah. Yeah, Gazan.
• 2:06:11
  I did not have cursed utter on an.
• 2:06:12
  Online quality I don't either. Dude, I think for this type of
• 2:06:15
  qualifier, I think cursed Utter's going to do it, man.
• 2:06:18
  I have folo. I have folo.
• 2:06:21
  I have cursed Etter. Do you have folo on your list?
• 2:06:28
  I have cursed etter Abby Domint. I have domit so.
• 2:06:35
  She got tossed out of my other Yes Domit.
• 2:06:39
  Let's put Folo aside for a minute, OK?
• 2:06:41
  No. Just just just for a.
• 2:06:43
  Minute we got folo curse that are on the side Claudia Gluck.
• 2:06:48
  Oh, I like Claudia Gluck. I like her.
• 2:06:53
  I have Amy Kringle. I'm also to the side.
• 2:07:00
  Kringle I. Don't like look?
• 2:07:02
  You don't like luck? Who else do I have on here?
• 2:07:05
  He's now. Anganese.
• 2:07:07
  I have anganese going. Anganese to the side.
• 2:07:12
  No, we both voted. I say no.
• 2:07:16
  What are you? Are you?
• 2:07:17
  What are you talking about, John?
• 2:07:19
  Who are yours that you don't have on there?
• 2:07:21
  Curse setter. Who else?
• 2:07:23
  I'm just looking through it man. He don't.
• 2:07:25
  He not even prepped. He doesn't even know this one.
• 2:07:30
  No, no, I do. What about Tia?
• 2:07:34
  No. She's going to go.
• 2:07:36
  I would imagine she goes to Torian and that's the only event
• 2:07:39
  she does. What?
• 2:07:41
  OK, what are our names? What are our names right now?
• 2:07:44
  They're on. That are on the virtual side,
• 2:07:47
  yeah. Polo cursed Utter, Kringle,
• 2:07:49
  Gluck and Anganese. OK, so we have 5 girls for three
• 2:07:52
  names. Oh, right.
• 2:07:53
  You see what I'm saying? You only do 4.
• 2:07:54
  You only do four in a vote. Again, Manning is very good at
• 2:07:58
  online stuff, but it's different when your whole game season
• 2:08:02
  rides on it. OK, I it's not rogue
• 2:08:06
  programming, I just find it way way different.
• 2:08:13
  She's done well. She's done well on the Open.
• 2:08:18
  Yeah, the open means nothing. And she did it well on
• 2:08:20
  quarterfinals. And Rogue is way different, but
• 2:08:23
  everybody's not trying. Everybody's not trying to do
• 2:08:26
  quarterfinals or she would do very well at the Games and she
• 2:08:29
  doesn't. Everybody is going to be doing
• 2:08:32
  this quarterfinal. This one they're not doing.
• 2:08:34
  They don't do the other ones full blast.
• 2:08:36
  They just do it if they think they can win it.
• 2:08:38
  Do you understand what I'm saying?
• 2:08:40
  Yeah, I understand this Greer. She'll be 12.
• 2:08:44
  Yeah, she'll be 12. No, he has a given.
• 2:08:46
  I will see Don Folow. All right.
• 2:08:50
  Sweet. And then I think we should put,
• 2:08:53
  I really think curse stutter is better than the other names that
• 2:08:55
  you guys have said. I know y'all don't believe in
• 2:08:57
  her but let's put those four names on a pole and then the top
• 2:09:00
  two get it? How about that?
• 2:09:03
  So we got curse, stutter, anganese, anganese.
• 2:09:11
  Thank goodness. And Kringle and.
• 2:09:14
  Kringle we need 2 top 2. And like and like I, I lean
• 2:09:18
  towards Gluck. But like Amy Kringle, I think
• 2:09:21
  people are going to vote her. I think she's way better in
• 2:09:24
  person than she is online. Her best stuff is her aerobic
• 2:09:28
  capacity. Amy Kringle.
• 2:09:30
  Yeah, I don't. I don't.
• 2:09:31
  I don't either, but I think. People heard the last of all
• 2:09:33
  those. But I think people will vote her
• 2:09:35
  just because she's got a name and she would do OK at the
• 2:09:39
  games, right There is events she can win at the games.
• 2:09:41
  And Kirsten on online doesn't have to do running.
• 2:09:44
  Right, I just like Amy Kringle's way better outside in person
• 2:09:50
  than she is online. If I was to put these two I
• 2:09:53
  would say it's going to be anganese and cursed utter.
• 2:09:55
  I would say cursed, utter and Glock.
• 2:09:56
  Those are my two. I would say cursed utter and
• 2:09:58
  Glock. I just don't.
• 2:09:59
  Either way, Either way, Gluck has a good chance to make it
• 2:10:02
  French Slowdown, and so does Amy Kringle.
• 2:10:04
  Cursed Utter's running away with it, so she's in.
• 2:10:07
  Plus we all say she's the same. And between Gluck and Kringle,
• 2:10:15
  Anganese is getting no love. Damn.
• 2:10:19
  We got 42 votes, we need 8 more. It's a 5% anybody's game for
• 2:10:23
  between Gluck. Y'all really don't want to vote
• 2:10:25
  Manon dude, Manon's really good. Get your shit on her for two.
• 2:10:29
  Minutes. They're all just Spiegel.
• 2:10:35
  Is she doing it? Did she do the open?
• 2:10:39
  Yeah, she did the open. We saw all the videos.
• 2:10:43
  Honestly, I mean, she's a good name too.
• 2:10:48
  You know what? Restart the poll. 52 votes.
• 2:10:52
  Claudia Gluck. Claudia Gluck.
• 2:10:54
  All right, that's fine. Spiegel will do TFX.
• 2:10:56
  She'll get in in there. Gluck.
• 2:11:00
  All right, next one French throw down, same time as the W FPWFP.
• 2:11:11
  I'm going. To go Kringle Mcdingleberry.
• 2:11:16
  Kringle and who? Mcdangleberry.
• 2:11:21
  Is Kringle even in the French throwdown?
• 2:11:24
  I hope. Let's check.
• 2:11:29
  I don't know, I think we should figure out how to make this
• 2:11:31
  podcast go longer. It's John.
• 2:11:34
  You're. You're the reason.
• 2:11:35
  I know, I'm sorry. Elite Women Amy Kringle is not
• 2:11:43
  on that list. Are you kidding me, Amy?
• 2:11:46
  What are you doing? That means she has to make it at
• 2:11:48
  Wadlands then. Right.
• 2:11:51
  Yes, yes. Damn.
• 2:11:55
  I don't think she's going to. I have Lucy Mcgonigal and Emily
• 2:11:59
  Lundberg. This list on here was very weak.
• 2:12:03
  I like Miriam. Oh, Miriam.
• 2:12:12
  Miriam Linda Keesman. I imagine she's probably going
• 2:12:18
  to WFP. Yep, Mirhams.
• 2:12:22
  Not terrible. She could sneak in there.
• 2:12:24
  I don't mind Lucy the Lucy pic. Mcgonigal.
• 2:12:28
  Yeah, I don't either. But it's because of a weak
• 2:12:31
  field. It's not because of her.
• 2:12:35
  You don't have to say it. I'm sorry that was.
• 2:12:42
  She watches the show? You asked.
• 2:12:44
  I know, I know, I know. I should.
• 2:12:45
  Not Ella Wilkinson. I can't take it back.
• 2:12:49
  Claudia Gluck is here, but Emily, I have Emily Lundberg.
• 2:12:54
  She just missed out on semifinals last year.
• 2:12:58
  I've got I'm going to rock with mirror him.
• 2:13:02
  All right, I'll go with it. But I want you to spell it like
• 2:13:05
  MIRHA. You know, I'm just doing the
• 2:13:08
  last. Thing on roar on roar.
• 2:13:11
  I want to make that shirt. Mir dash, Mir hum HIM.
• 2:13:19
  No, I got it. Better spell it like that.
• 2:13:23
  Mir him question mark. How about is him?
• 2:13:27
  Mir Hum is him. Almost the worst I've ever
• 2:13:32
  heard. Him TFX aerial loans already
• 2:13:38
  qualified fellow meat spinner Hannah Hardy, Trista Smith.
• 2:13:45
  I don't know if she wants to be called that spin.
• 2:13:50
  Bethany Flores cursed Etter's already in Miss Domeit, Lawrence
• 2:13:55
  Stallwood, Emily Rathwell, Miss Bernardine, Janie Gazanzen,
• 2:14:02
  Danny Spiegel. I'm.
• 2:14:07
  I'm going to say. I'm going to say Spiegel first.
• 2:14:10
  What you have, Danny Spiegel? As the first name that makes it
• 2:14:18
  out of there. Yeah.
• 2:14:20
  Over who? Who are you wedding we?
• 2:14:23
  Already have Domit in there. Oh.
• 2:14:24
  We have everybody, dude. Who did I have?
• 2:14:28
  I did not have Spiegel. I did have Spiegel.
• 2:14:34
  Don't give his. What if he?
• 2:14:36
  I had Spiegel and Curstetter, but Curstetter is already in.
• 2:14:40
  That's what I'm saying dude. I hope, I hope these people
• 2:14:43
  still go to the competitions just for prize money.
• 2:14:49
  Trista, Trista, I'm good with Spiegel.
• 2:14:52
  I'm good with Spiegel. Not Flores.
• 2:14:56
  I think I'm going to say Flores. Yeah, I think, I think I'm going
• 2:14:58
  to say Flores. I think she's going to make it
• 2:15:00
  to the games and then her back will hurt.
• 2:15:02
  It doesn't. It.
• 2:15:04
  Doesn't hurt until the games. Trista's ready.
• 2:15:07
  But Bethany's better, dude. Here we go.
• 2:15:13
  You're going to hit your wagon to that.
• 2:15:15
  That Bethany is better, yeah. TFX, Krista, Bethany, anybody
• 2:15:23
  else you want to throw in there? I had a Ariel and and Olivia
• 2:15:31
  possibly but. That's what I'm saying.
• 2:15:34
  Like Hattie, yeah. I mean, Hattie, Hattie's viable.
• 2:15:38
  She's just as viable as everybody else that we've said.
• 2:15:42
  I have her going in another place.
• 2:15:45
  Yeah, but this is the one that's available.
• 2:15:47
  Here we go. Vote.
• 2:15:49
  We need 1. Danny Spiegel and Trista Smith.
• 2:15:53
  Bethany or Hattie? Here's the thing.
• 2:15:56
  Bethany is the is the right pick here, but Bethany's about as
• 2:16:01
  consistent as somebody who's very inconsistent and.
• 2:16:09
  This will be the week. After you are a wordsmith, John.
• 2:16:12
  Yeah, yeah, Trista Trista's the up and Comer.
• 2:16:17
  Hattie kind of just broke through.
• 2:16:20
  I think Hattie's fitter than Trista Smith, but you know,
• 2:16:26
  Trista is getting fitter and fitter so.
• 2:16:30
  That's just Morgan. Morgan Porter could She could be
• 2:16:34
  a black or a dark horse pick. A Black Horse pick.
• 2:16:38
  A Black Horse pick. Why does it have to be a Black
• 2:16:40
  Horse? How come it?
• 2:16:41
  Can't be see it's it's it's just even more rare than.
• 2:16:44
  A brown horse. Does does Bethany do heavy
• 2:16:47
  Isabel? 155 I think.
• 2:16:50
  She does that. It's not the same heavy Isabel,
• 2:16:53
  I don't think is the same for girls.
• 2:16:54
  I don't think it's the same at all.
• 2:16:57
  Four more votes, guys. Bethany is winning it.
• 2:16:59
  I know, I know Alexis did heavy Isabel on like 440 and she is
• 2:17:05
  not one of the stronger athletes.
• 2:17:08
  Right. It's not the same at all.
• 2:17:10
  Far East throwdown I have miss Troy got.
• 2:17:18
  Choi as well. Sounds good man.
• 2:17:21
  You don't think? I got Dejuan Young and let's put
• 2:17:24
  it to a pole. I just, I'm just kidding.
• 2:17:27
  No, it's not young. Twice.
• 2:17:28
  Torian Pro. Well, we said everybody, Daisy
• 2:17:32
  McDonald. What about Tia?
• 2:17:35
  Does Tia. Qualify OH.
• 2:17:37
  Yeah. That is the big question for
• 2:17:39
  this. One if if Maddie and Grace are
• 2:17:42
  gone, then she goes. What do you think?
• 2:17:47
  She doesn't go if those two are not in.
• 2:17:50
  No, I'm saying Maddie and and Grace will both qualify in.
• 2:17:56
  The I'm saying if they don't, you're saying Tia won't go.
• 2:18:01
  I don't think Tia goes regardless.
• 2:18:04
  She's going to, she's going to go there to get a ticket for
• 2:18:08
  sure. What Hank Smith saying she's not
• 2:18:12
  going to get a ticket. She's going to get it, pass it
• 2:18:15
  off to the next person. Right, right.
• 2:18:17
  Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's not that's on her.
• 2:18:20
  We're saying who gets the ticket, not who goes to the
• 2:18:22
  game. This we all this is.
• 2:18:23
  Who goes? What does the title say?
• 2:18:25
  Who's going to the CrossFit Games?
• 2:18:27
  Title not not who gets the ticket.
• 2:18:29
  Otherwise we would have had more tease of Sega dot get.
• 2:18:32
  This is like a you can't. I think she she's not.
• 2:18:37
  Giving away that what can he, what can he not do?
• 2:18:40
  What was that? If she wins, this is just such
• 2:18:44
  an off case scenario. Why?
• 2:18:47
  And we're speaking on it. I know what I'm.
• 2:18:51
  Saying is if she. Wins like and I said, OK, she's
• 2:18:55
  going to be one of the two that gets.
• 2:18:56
  That's what I'm saying is she gets the ticket to go to the
• 2:18:58
  games. I can't help the fact that she
• 2:18:59
  gave the damn thing away. We are saying that she's going
• 2:19:02
  to give it away. Right.
• 2:19:05
  OK, well, I'm not saying that I think she gets that sucker and
• 2:19:08
  she keeps it. OK.
• 2:19:10
  I'm going to Willy Wonka Shark factory.
• 2:19:12
  Fuck you. So you're going, you're going to
• 2:19:14
  go with to me. I'm going to go Daisy McDonald
• 2:19:18
  and Poppy Hay. What about the lawyer, Georgia
• 2:19:23
  Pryor? Poppy, it's Poppy's time.
• 2:19:25
  Deroy, all right. Deroy.
• 2:19:30
  It's been Deroy's time for a while and it's never happened,
• 2:19:33
  so I she's just a. Little.
• 2:19:35
  Like James? Yeah, but yeah, on a team.
• 2:19:37
  Was she? On a team she was with James
• 2:19:41
  and. I'm saying I I'm going with
• 2:19:43
  Poppy Hay, it's Poppy's time. McDonald, you're just wasting a
• 2:19:50
  pick. Nobody's going to pick Poppy
• 2:19:51
  Hay. Why all?
• 2:19:53
  Right here we go also. Poppy time show him that spin is
• 2:19:57
  wrong. Guys, you need 2.
• 2:19:58
  Picks Poppy Hay. Followed Listen, I'm going to
• 2:20:02
  I'm going to advise against picking Poppy.
• 2:20:04
  I followed Poppy. She needs, she is a good
• 2:20:07
  athlete, but she needs a little work.
• 2:20:09
  She moves a little clunky in in certain things.
• 2:20:12
  Emily Deroy does not and. We're working on it.
• 2:20:14
  Did does anybody pay attention to what 65% have to me already?
• 2:20:20
  Guys OK then just put Tia or I. This is fine.
• 2:20:24
  It makes this show go faster. Let's just put Tia and Daisy
• 2:20:28
  McDonald. Emily Deroy is winning, John.
• 2:20:31
  Well, that's because the people don't know who Daisy McDonald
• 2:20:34
  is. And one more vote.
• 2:20:41
  Yep. Deroy Toomey.
• 2:20:43
  Yeah. The people know, dude.
• 2:20:46
  She's a freaking unit. She's humongous.
• 2:20:49
  How come she wasn't a unit the years previous?
• 2:20:51
  Because. She's a young lady.
• 2:20:54
  Rebel Renegade games. This is where Sarah gets her
• 2:20:58
  ticket. Sure, who you got spin?
• 2:21:04
  I'll be the tie break. She already got it through
• 2:21:07

• 2:21:20
  vote. Oh, the poll the.
• 2:21:21
  Poll Gemma's not in it there, Tyler.

  She's a great swimmer dude. She can't make that joke.
• 2:21:29
  Women Africa Michelle Morand is still a back in it it.
• 2:21:33
  Happened too fast for me after I could catch.
• 2:21:35
  It I'm going, I'm going with Michelle Moran.
• 2:21:37
  She's she would dominated Africa.
• 2:21:40
  That sounds, that sounds, that sounds great.
• 2:21:42
  Let's get past. Let's get past this.
• 2:21:44
  Let's go to you. Don't care about rebel renegade
• 2:21:45
  games. No, but I don't that's it does
• 2:21:48
  not. It doesn't matter.
• 2:21:49
  Syndicate Crown. All right, Syndicate Crown.
• 2:21:52
  Let's go. Tanner Blaz, I have an
• 2:21:56
  interesting one on this one. I'm picking wells.
• 2:22:01
  Sydney, you're picking. I'm picking wells.
• 2:22:04
  Both wells. You're picking both of them.
• 2:22:06
  Oh, OK. It's just because everybody,
• 2:22:09
  everybody's got. Everybody's gone.
• 2:22:12
  There's so many athletes that I liked on the list that were
• 2:22:15
  remaining. I'm going to go with Kyra and
• 2:22:17
  Sydney. Kyra beats Brooke.
• 2:22:21
  Are you kidding me? No.
• 2:22:26
  I I like the Wells pick. I would I want that to happen.
• 2:22:30
  I don't even. Wells sleep, dude.
• 2:22:32
  Yeah, dude, that'd be fun. I think you're out about it on
• 2:22:36
  this one, Tyler. It'd be a great, it'd be a great
• 2:22:38
  moment. I want it noted.
• 2:22:44
  Enter it in the record. Coach L Is he coaching?
• 2:22:50
  Prevo. Prevo.
• 2:22:53
  Paige Simenza Shelby Neil No. Paige is in at Norcal.
• 2:23:00
  She could still qualify out of Syndicate Norcal.
• 2:23:06
  I guess we know John's pick. Paige, Samantha.
• 2:23:10
  Oh, you got some in all right. Second one.
• 2:23:13
  Kristen Holta Holta. The Norwegian I.
• 2:23:21
  Think. Wait, wait, wait.
• 2:23:22
  She's not South African, huh, Holta?
• 2:23:26
  African, I thought. Holta.
• 2:23:28
  I thought Holta was retired? Yeah, I thought she was too.
• 2:23:31
  That's why. California Classic leaderboard
• 2:23:34
  on the Competition Corner Elite Female.
• 2:23:39
  Yeah, but Kristen. Holta from Kriger training is
• 2:23:41
  on. On Holta's retired like she's
• 2:23:43
  going to give her ticket away. She said she was retired.
• 2:23:46
  She's not going to give. We can't.
• 2:23:47
  We're. Not going to.
• 2:23:49
  Why is she going all the way to Norcal just to?
• 2:23:52
  I think she just did the quality.
• 2:23:53
  She gave her ticket. Away, I don't think, I don't
• 2:23:55
  think she's going to come to the competition.
• 2:23:57
  Why would you do the online qualifier?
• 2:23:59
  Just because she wanted. And she's paid to get on the
• 2:24:02
  main leaderboard. It's $20.
• 2:24:04
  No, she signed up for the actual competition, John, not the
• 2:24:07
  qualifier. This Well, I'm telling you, she
• 2:24:09
  said. I'm retired, but she's not
• 2:24:12
  retired anymore. She.
• 2:24:14
  Did say this. And actually, this time, we're
• 2:24:17
  not just. Yes, for real, she really said
• 2:24:19
  this one. Sydney Wells is going.
• 2:24:24
  She's already in. Where is Gianni's going?
• 2:24:28
  She did well in. The Caitlin Sanders.
• 2:24:31
  Oh, I like. That potty Kanye will be there.
• 2:24:34
  Oh I also like Hattie. So Hattie and Caitlin were my 2
• 2:24:38
  picks. Prevo.
• 2:24:40
  Prevo is better. Out of those girls, I'm picking
• 2:24:45
  prevo. How do you know Paige Semenza is
• 2:24:46
  going there, John? I I don't.
• 2:24:49
  I was just hoping. She's not on the list.
• 2:24:52
  She can't be on there. That's my pick for last chance
• 2:24:54
  qualifier. I like that one, Trista Smith.
• 2:25:01
  Did. Tristan not.
• 2:25:01
  Get in. No, Tristan didn't get in.
• 2:25:04
  Prevo, prevo and Hattie. I'm OK with Hattie, I'm not OK
• 2:25:09
  with. Hattie so cement but cements is
• 2:25:11
  not on the list so take Samantha off.
• 2:25:13
  So put in Hattie and then Caitlin.
• 2:25:18
  Tristan was. Was Tristan second last?
• 2:25:20
  Year Trista is better than Caitlin.
• 2:25:22
  Trista, it's. Trista it's.
• 2:25:24
  Better than Caitlin. Last chance qualifier Caitlin
• 2:25:29
  Sanders? No, it's Paige Samenza.
• 2:25:32
  I even had her as the final last chance qualifier.
• 2:25:35
  All right, Caitlin. Well, Gazan has already made it.
• 2:25:38
  She made it through the online semifinal.
• 2:25:43
  Norcal does not have an online or geographic requirement, so
• 2:25:48
  anybody can go to that. They're kind of like the last
• 2:25:51
  chance qualifier before the last chance qualifier.
• 2:25:54
  Tyler, the head head is not on your side for the Cairo pic.
• 2:25:57
  Yeah, you need to quit seeing things so negatively.
• 2:26:00
  Barkley, I'm disappointed in you.
• 2:26:02
  There are the 30 men and 30 women that are going to the
• 2:26:07
  games. There you go.
• 2:26:08
  Are you here? First, put your bets down.
• 2:26:11
  You'll make $1,000,000. How many of those 60 do you
• 2:26:15
  think end up do we get? 50.
• 2:26:20
  You think we get 50 of the 60? Yeah, I think we bat.
• 2:26:22
  I think we bat 83%. But there needs to be a like
• 2:26:28
  they need to qualify from where we said they qualified.
• 2:26:31
  No, no, no, no, Tyler, cause 'cause only one person can mess
• 2:26:39
  up the whole chain, you know what I'm saying?
• 2:26:42
  So like, no, I, I think actual names 80.
• 2:26:46
  We bat 83. We get a.
• 2:26:49
  We get 2 points if we get them from the the the place.
• 2:26:53
  I don't mind that game. I don't mind one.
• 2:26:55
  Point if they qualify. Sure, but what's what's, How
• 2:26:58
  many do we get right? What's maximum?
• 2:27:00
  What's maximal? Points You think 50 is out of
• 2:27:03
  60? No, No chance.
• 2:27:07
  I'll take the over. You think we get more than I'm
• 2:27:09
  good? 50 should not be the line. 40
• 2:27:12
  should be the line. No dude, because it's all the
• 2:27:14
  best people. Like you're taking the under,
• 2:27:16
  I'll take the over. That means it's a decent line.
• 2:27:19
  Yeah, I'll All right. I'll take the under.
• 2:27:20
  Yeah, I think this format sets yourself, sets it up for
• 2:27:24
  veterans. Making it more than we're going
• 2:27:27
  to get more than 50, right? Yes.
• 2:27:30
  As far as names that actually go, yes.
• 2:27:34
  No chance there's. Hey, go back, go back to the
• 2:27:38
  men. Go back to the men's men,
• 2:27:40
  please. Just this.
• 2:27:41
  Will be so great when we're at both Syndicate and Norcal and
• 2:27:45
  we're talking to each other all. Right.
• 2:27:47
  We will go. Hey, do you think Hatfield's
• 2:27:49
  going? Yes.
• 2:27:52
  I think all of these people could.
• 2:27:54
  Go John, this is a dumb game to play.
• 2:27:56
  OK, I'm with you, Spin. I take the over.
• 2:28:01
  Yeah, like I just don't think there's that many rookies that
• 2:28:06
  can make it. First of all, there's there's 10
• 2:28:08
  less athletes those where the rookies were coming from and you
• 2:28:11
  got to be first or second in almost all of this.
• 2:28:15
  If as long as the NFL semifinal is hard quarter final level
• 2:28:19
  programming, the top athletes like you see there are going to
• 2:28:22
  qualify. You're not going to get some
• 2:28:24
  random dude that shows up. Not that many of them.
• 2:28:30
  Like I just don't think you see rookies go in and win an entire
• 2:28:33
  competition when there's 3 or 4 veterans at each one of them.
• 2:28:36
  Dude, I think it's going to get weird though when you mix in WSD
• 2:28:41
  and the fact that people are going to have to do multiples
• 2:28:44
  and other people are just not going to do those multiples.
• 2:28:47
  Maybe. I think we're.
• 2:28:50
  Just going to see some. More the European ones
• 2:28:52
  definitely have the biggest ones.
• 2:28:54
  The European Asia and Africa are the ones that are complete wild
• 2:28:58
  cards. Like that's where you might be
• 2:28:59
  able to get the under. I think all of the North
• 2:29:02
  American ones in Australia, I think we're pretty much locked
• 2:29:05
  in for the most part. It's going to be close.
• 2:29:10
  I I'm also like we they just are so many circumstances where like
• 2:29:15
  somebody just randomly like Jack Rose in the last year, like no
• 2:29:19
  one called him going to the Games last year.
• 2:29:21
  And so, yeah. But that's finishing eleventh
• 2:29:23
  out of. I understand, but what I'm
• 2:29:26
  saying is random shit happens. Random shit happens all the
• 2:29:29
  time. We're not going to call a lot of
• 2:29:32
  these, I think. We'll see.
• 2:29:35
  We'll see. All right.
• 2:29:38
  I think we call all of them. We're we're going to go 60 for
• 2:29:41
  60. All right guys, thanks for
• 2:29:43
  hanging with us for a very, very long show.
• 2:29:45
  We will see you guys next week, 3 days before the Mayhem
• 2:29:49
  Classic, so see you later. I apologize.
• 2:29:53
  To absolutely nobody.
