- 1:33case you might hear through the, Nick,
- 1:40Nick, the man, what zombie?
- 1:45So Nick, can I tell you how great Nick is?
- 1:52Yes.
- 1:53Let's bring in our special host tonight,
- 1:56Haley Rolfe.
- 1:58Bam, there she is.
- 1:59Hey.
- 2:00Hey, how are you doing?
- 2:04We're good.
- 2:04How are you?
- 2:05Good.
- 2:07Good to finally meet you.
- 2:08Yeah, nice to meet you too.
- 2:10So we're live on the air.
- 2:12Cool.
- 2:13Yes, we are.
- 2:15So I need to finish the
- 2:15story and then we're going
- 2:16to jump into you.
- 2:17Okay.
- 2:18Perfect.
- 2:19Um,
- 2:20so Nick wad zombie reached out to me
- 2:22and said, Hey, are you sleeping well?
- 2:27And I, and I wasn't until last night.
- 2:29And so he's like, I got a gift for you.
- 2:32And he is sending me a sleep
- 2:34apnea machine for me to try out,
- 2:37to see if it'll help me sleep.
- 2:39That's awesome.
- 2:41like it's so many videos
- 2:44teaching me how to use it
- 2:45all the stuff um like there
- 2:48are there's no better dude
- 2:51in the crossfit space than
- 2:52what zombie agreed I i
- 2:55didn't need more proof that
- 2:56he's awesome but that that
- 2:58is awesome idea
- 3:01So quick health update is I
- 3:03don't know a lot from like
- 3:04the round table.
- 3:06I did call the cardiologist today.
- 3:08I'm still in AFib.
- 3:10We are looking to get out of AFib.
- 3:15And the nurse said I should
- 3:17know by tomorrow morning
- 3:19when the next step is.
- 3:21It's probably going to be
- 3:23early next week that they
- 3:25are going to shock my heart
- 3:27to try to get it back into rhythm.
- 3:30And then once that happens,
- 3:33we should know more.
- 3:35But they want me to know
- 3:36this information before I
- 3:37get to my family doctor at
- 3:39one o'clock tomorrow.
- 3:41So hopefully that's a
- 3:42guarantee that I will know
- 3:43it before going to my
- 3:45family doctor at one o'clock.
- 3:49But if that's the case,
- 3:50I will get the reconversion.
- 3:53What a weird term for this.
- 3:54Yeah.
- 3:58into hopefully back into a
- 4:00regular rhythm and back to
- 4:02100% back to my goals.
- 4:02So.
- 4:09With that,
- 4:10we welcome in three-time
- 4:13CrossFit team games competitor,
- 4:16Haley Rolfe,
- 4:17who is the new star of a new
- 4:19show on our channel versus
- 4:22for the ages or something like that.
- 4:25I think it's a working title.
- 4:30So cool to have you with us.
- 4:31How are you doing?
- 4:32Good.
- 4:33How are you guys?
- 4:35Good as can be expected.
- 4:38I didn't see you today.
- 4:39So how did you, what did,
- 4:42what'd you do today?
- 4:44Um,
- 4:45I went to class and did homework all day,
- 4:47so nothing super exciting, but, um,
- 4:51how do you get it done?
- 4:53We have spring break starts tomorrow,
- 4:55so I'm just trying to get
- 4:56everything done so I can go
- 4:57home after we train.
- 5:01Yes.
- 5:01What's it like being on campus at least?
- 5:05Yeah, no, at least a 40 minute walk.
- 5:09That's perfect.
- 5:10Exactly.
- 5:14Scott wants to know what
- 5:15it's like being a freshman.
- 5:16Oh, okay.
- 5:17I didn't hear that.
- 5:18It's good.
- 5:19It's definitely different.
- 5:20Like...
- 5:21it's a whole new world.
- 5:23I feel like I'm used to my
- 5:24little bubble because I
- 5:25came from a school with like 96,
- 5:27like people in my graduating class.
- 5:29So now walking past like so many strangers,
- 5:31it's like, Whoa, you know, like,
- 5:33I'm just a little bubble
- 5:34and all these people's lives.
- 5:36But I like it.
- 5:36It's super fun.
- 5:37It's super fun to be around
- 5:38like a bunch of teenagers and like,
- 5:41classes class, you know, nothing great,
- 5:44but gotta get through it.
- 5:45So do you have a major yet?
- 5:50That we're in the works.
- 5:51So I'm thinking something
- 5:52like medical field,
- 5:54maybe like a chiropractor.
- 5:55I changed my mind every week.
- 5:57So like it's an ongoing just thought.
- 6:00I think I broke the record
- 6:01for majors in college.
- 6:02So really?
- 6:05Yeah, I was all over the map.
- 6:07Good for you.
- 6:08It took 15 years to graduate.
- 6:09Please don't do that.
- 6:11I'll try.
- 6:11I don't do that.
- 6:13I can't afford to do that.
- 6:15Yeah.
- 6:16So the reason we have you on
- 6:18here is you are actually
- 6:20going to go team this season with Ms.
- 6:23Latimer and Azariah Price,
- 6:28who his mom runs the teen
- 6:31piece of our channel.
- 6:34So that's really cool.
- 6:35And I don't know your fourth.
- 6:36I've met him, I think, but I just,
- 6:39I don't know his name.
- 6:41Tony.
- 6:42Sorry.
- 6:42Jeff.
- 6:43Jeff.
- 6:43No.
- 6:44Yeah.
- 6:47Yeah.
- 6:48So what, what's up with this team?
- 6:51Um,
- 6:52you made a post not that long ago about
- 6:55when you finished, um, the teen division,
- 6:58you were done with CrossFit
- 7:01and then all of a sudden
- 7:02you go to MSU and you meet
- 7:05Jamie and now you're on a team.
- 7:07Yeah.
- 7:08So, okay.
- 7:09So I finished the games 2023
- 7:12and all summer,
- 7:13like it was such a balance
- 7:14between like hanging out with friends,
- 7:15doing all the senior stuff,
- 7:16but also like training to
- 7:18be like super competitive at the games.
- 7:20So it's like a balance I've
- 7:22had all through high school
- 7:24and a ton of like,
- 7:25it felt like a lot of responsibilities.
- 7:27And I was always racing around.
- 7:29And it was my only like identity.
- 7:31I felt like like I go to
- 7:32class and I was always a CrossFit girl.
- 7:34I was the rib girl.
- 7:35I walked down the halls and it was like,
- 7:36how much you bench?
- 7:37And that stuff was like cool.
- 7:39But then I also got tiring.
- 7:40So like coming into college, I was like,
- 7:42I just kind of want a clean
- 7:43slate and to not have to
- 7:45worry about that stuff.
- 7:47And honestly, like right away,
- 7:49I got the like nickname in
- 7:50our dorm of Muscle Mommy.
- 7:51So like that lasted long.
- 7:54But also,
- 7:54I just wanted to live a normal
- 7:56freshman college, do what I want,
- 7:58have no responsibilities.
- 8:00And I ran and still fitness,
- 8:03but it just wasn't consistent.
- 8:04And I realized how boring it gets.
- 8:07so quickly it was like okay
- 8:09I came back from like
- 8:10winter break and was
- 8:11hanging out with my mom and
- 8:12I was like dude I just like
- 8:13really miss crossfit like
- 8:16you know like I just want
- 8:16to get back to the gym have
- 8:17the fun environment and
- 8:19it's always like a
- 8:19community it doesn't matter
- 8:21what gym you step into I
- 8:22feel like you always run
- 8:23yourself into community and
- 8:24so like I just I was
- 8:26looking around in the area
- 8:27I think I went I dropped
- 8:28into east lansing crossfit twice
- 8:30and then dropped into Redemption.
- 8:32Like the first class I was at Redemption,
- 8:34I was like, okay,
- 8:34this is the gym I want to
- 8:35be at just because it had
- 8:37such a fun vibe and met Jamie right away.
- 8:39And then it was like the
- 8:42first Saturday I could make it to,
- 8:44I went and I got partnered
- 8:45up with Jamie because I don't know,
- 8:47we just got partnered up together.
- 8:49And then she looks at me
- 8:51like five seconds before we
- 8:52start this workout.
- 8:53She's like,
- 8:53do you want to go team this year?
- 8:55And I'm like, sure.
- 8:56And then we just start working out.
- 8:58So right after I was like,
- 9:00I don't even know if this
- 9:01is a thing until like the
- 9:03next time I came in and trained with her,
- 9:04but it was really funny.
- 9:08So when you made that
- 9:09statement in your head,
- 9:11were you done for good or
- 9:13just until you kind of like
- 9:15got through some of college?
- 9:17Um, I really didn't know.
- 9:19I made that statement as I
- 9:21don't want to be a competitive, like,
- 9:23CrossFit athlete anymore.
- 9:24I'll still come in and do an hour class.
- 9:26But I didn't want that to, like,
- 9:27consume me.
- 9:27I didn't want to have to watch what I eat,
- 9:29go to bed at a certain time, stretch.
- 9:31Like,
- 9:32all that stuff gets consuming after a
- 9:33while if you let it.
- 9:35And I was at the point where
- 9:36I let it get consuming.
- 9:37So, like, I just wanted a clean break.
- 9:40And then...
- 9:42It didn't surprise anyone that I was back,
- 9:46but I just needed that for
- 9:47myself to make the decision to be back.
- 9:51How long did it take you to
- 9:54get back into working out
- 9:56and feeling like yourself again?
- 9:57Or are you still in that process?
- 10:01Um, I feel pretty much back to myself.
- 10:03Like, sure,
- 10:04there's things that aren't at
- 10:06full capacity like they
- 10:07were when I was training in August.
- 10:09But, like, that happens every year,
- 10:11I feel like, with an off-season.
- 10:13Um, but, like...
- 10:16over Christmas break was
- 10:17when I kind of started just
- 10:18doing classes again.
- 10:19And I was like slowly feeling like myself.
- 10:21And then once I like
- 10:22committed and like training
- 10:23with Jamie and Jim, it's like, Oh,
- 10:24it's back.
- 10:25You know,
- 10:25like it's so fun to just go
- 10:27through it out and enjoy
- 10:28being around people that
- 10:29enjoy the same thing you do.
- 10:31You know, I have to say something.
- 10:34This is the angle your phone is at.
- 10:38You look like Kaylee Cuoco.
- 10:41Yeah, a little bit.
- 10:43Yeah.
- 10:44I don't know what that is.
- 10:46Have you ever seen Big Bang Theory?
- 10:52No.
- 10:53When we're done, Google her.
- 10:56You look just like her at this angle.
- 10:59Okay.
- 11:00Awesome.
- 11:00I hope that's a good one.
- 11:02She's very pretty.
- 11:04I think you'll be happy.
- 11:05Yes.
- 11:07Haley is stunning in person.
- 11:10I don't think you really
- 11:11look like Haley Cuoco,
- 11:12but I can see it from this angle.
- 11:14I like, if you saw her in the gym,
- 11:15I don't know that you'd say that.
- 11:17Um, I've seen other pictures of her,
- 11:21not like Haley Cuoco.
- 11:23Um, very attractive, but this,
- 11:25this is like a spitting image.
- 11:28Yes, it does.
- 11:29You do.
- 11:30That's funny.
- 11:32So, so back on topic, um,
- 11:36You know, we,
- 11:37we've talked a lot about like
- 11:38Mal and Haley and having to
- 11:40take a step back.
- 11:42Yeah.
- 11:42Do you understand where
- 11:43they're coming from coming
- 11:45out of the division as
- 11:46competitive as you are?
- 11:49they were way better than me
- 11:51coming out of the division
- 11:52but I do 100% understand
- 11:54where they're at because
- 11:54they jumped right into it
- 11:56all over again and like I
- 11:57just think there's
- 11:58something too about like I
- 12:00started tracking my macros
- 12:01when I was 14 like when I
- 12:02think about food I think of
- 12:03like specific nutrients I
- 12:05think like Hayley Adams has
- 12:07talked openly about her
- 12:08eating disorder and I think
- 12:09you could see that as just
- 12:10such a young teenager
- 12:12putting that much emphasis
- 12:14on it so like I think
- 12:16Like I can totally see where they're at,
- 12:18where it gets super
- 12:18consuming and it's like,
- 12:22and they had a ton of pressure too.
- 12:23So I, I a hundred percent see their angle.
- 12:28Do you feel you missed
- 12:29anything in high school?
- 12:31You know, it's funny,
- 12:33because I would say yes and no.
- 12:36I feel like I always wanted
- 12:38to be a part of the party
- 12:39scene and just hang out,
- 12:40be a normal teenager.
- 12:42And my 2022 season,
- 12:45I totally cut myself out of
- 12:46it as a junior.
- 12:48And I think I really struggled with that,
- 12:50because it took the fun of
- 12:51my life out of it.
- 12:53So then I honestly watched
- 12:54my fitness get worse.
- 12:56I just didn't have as much
- 12:57emphasis and priority on it.
- 13:00So I think, like, my 2023 season,
- 13:02I just implemented it.
- 13:04I tell people this.
- 13:05I live two separate lives.
- 13:06Like, I would go to the gym,
- 13:07and I'd do four hours of fitness.
- 13:09Then I'd turn it off.
- 13:10I'd go do student section games,
- 13:12go hang out with my friends,
- 13:14eat Mexican after, like, do all the, like,
- 13:16teenager things.
- 13:17And I think that just, like,
- 13:18made my season so much better.
- 13:19And it just, like, yeah,
- 13:22it was a lot better.
- 13:23So I think, in a sense,
- 13:25I'd say at times I felt
- 13:26like I missed out.
- 13:26But, like, looking back on it,
- 13:28I got to do everything I wanted to do.
- 13:32That's great.
- 13:33Because I think you only
- 13:34have one shot at being a kid.
- 13:36Exactly.
- 13:37Go ahead.
- 13:40Well,
- 13:40we talked about a little about the
- 13:42games and the other teens
- 13:45there and stuff and how a
- 13:47majority of them are homeschooled.
- 13:49And you weren't.
- 13:51And we know that like Emma
- 13:53Lawson wasn't either.
- 13:54And a lot of people,
- 13:55when they talk about the teens,
- 13:56like Emma Lawson seems to
- 13:57have a pretty good head on
- 13:58her shoulders and still
- 14:00experienced teen life and
- 14:03school activities life.
- 14:04And so you got that and you
- 14:06seem to be happy with the
- 14:09way your career progressed.
- 14:12Totally.
- 14:12I played volleyball and
- 14:14softball throughout high school.
- 14:15And honestly, as I got fitter,
- 14:17you could just watch the
- 14:18athletic performance go with it.
- 14:19But I was a total normal person.
- 14:22I took off basketball season
- 14:23because that was open and
- 14:24all the qualifiers.
- 14:26And the coaches would get annoyed with me,
- 14:28but at the end of the day,
- 14:29that's whatever.
- 14:30So yeah, I'd say 100%.
- 14:32I recommend everyone to play
- 14:36sports and go to school.
- 14:38I think that's super important.
- 14:41So you did play other sports.
- 14:44Yeah.
- 14:46Right in that Rich Froning camp.
- 14:50Exactly.
- 14:50I loved it.
- 14:51It was fun.
- 14:52It's team sports, and you never, like,
- 14:55we have, like, CrossFit team,
- 14:56but you're never going to
- 14:57get that stuff back unless
- 14:59you go collegiate.
- 14:59So it was one of those things just, like,
- 15:02taking an opportunity when
- 15:03I can get it kind of thing.
- 15:07So big in the news this week
- 15:08was that the Pitt,
- 15:12Pit Fitness Ranch has
- 15:13developed a mentor program
- 15:16between elite individual
- 15:18athletes and all the
- 15:21qualifiers for the CrossFit
- 15:23Games in the teen division this year.
- 15:25What do you think about that as a concept?
- 15:31Okay, so I honestly saw it,
- 15:32but I don't totally understand it.
- 15:34So they're mentoring each workout.
- 15:38No, it's a six-week mentorship program.
- 15:42Six or 12-week.
- 15:43Can't remember.
- 15:44We don't want to talk about
- 15:46specifics in their program
- 15:48because I think there are
- 15:50and Stephanie's probably
- 15:51going to hit me for this, but, um, there,
- 15:53I think there are a few
- 15:54flaws in their program.
- 15:56Um,
- 15:56but I like the concept of having an
- 15:59elite athlete be a mentor
- 16:02in like how to balance life.
- 16:04Like as Pat Vellner being a
- 16:06mentor who has someone who
- 16:07has signed up to be one, you know,
- 16:10he has a, he has a chiropractic practice.
- 16:13He has a family, he has a son,
- 16:15like all that stuff.
- 16:17What do you think of it as a concept of,
- 16:20if you had someone to reach
- 16:21out to and just talk to, uh, when,
- 16:24when you're going through things,
- 16:27I think it's really cool.
- 16:28I think if I was in their shoes, like 14,
- 16:3115 year old me would be terrified.
- 16:34Um,
- 16:34but I think it's a really cool concept.
- 16:36I think stuff does a lot for
- 16:37the teenage community.
- 16:39Um, I also think like, this is just a,
- 16:42like,
- 16:43I did see effects my first
- 16:44ever competition and in the
- 16:46bathroom my mom was like
- 16:47talking to Daniel Brandon
- 16:48and Daniel Brandon was like
- 16:49don't ever give up high
- 16:50school sports and I
- 16:51honestly think that was a
- 16:52comment to me that I took
- 16:54to heart and was like you
- 16:54know what that's a really
- 16:56good point and that's from
- 16:57someone who is really elite
- 16:58at our sport so I think
- 17:00having those voices to be
- 17:01like you're right where you
- 17:02should be or like you have
- 17:03a lot of time or just even
- 17:05like offering the hand I don't know
- 17:10Am I back?
- 17:11There we go.
- 17:12Paige Powers was a teenage athlete.
- 17:15That's a perfect person.
- 17:18So I think it's awesome.
- 17:20I think Steph's doing a good
- 17:21job with that.
- 17:23Yeah,
- 17:23I think it's a great concept that
- 17:26would be great in the offseason.
- 17:29when everybody has time to kind of talk.
- 17:33And right now it's kind of
- 17:35scheduled June to mid-August,
- 17:39which doesn't make a lot of sense to me.
- 17:42I think their concept is, hey,
- 17:44let's mentor these kids as
- 17:45they're getting to the
- 17:46games from games athletes
- 17:50and what they can expect.
- 17:51I think it's more important
- 17:52as a mentor about life and
- 17:55not just the games.
- 17:57And that can happen in the off season.
- 18:00Yeah, no, I think I,
- 18:03I agree with what you're saying too.
- 18:06So it's purely just like how
- 18:09on how games training is supposed to go.
- 18:10Is that kind of the avenue
- 18:11they're taking it?
- 18:14It's written like almost coaching,
- 18:16which I can't imagine it being,
- 18:18but I think,
- 18:19I think what the idea just
- 18:21from talking to Steph in the past is that
- 18:24to let the teens know what
- 18:26it's going to be like to be
- 18:28at this big event at the
- 18:29end of the year and what
- 18:31you can expect and,
- 18:33and those types of things,
- 18:35but it wasn't written up very well.
- 18:38Yeah.
- 18:39I feel like, I feel like honestly, overall,
- 18:41me and Jamie talked about this a lot.
- 18:43This master's in teenage
- 18:44season is a very much
- 18:46figure things out growth
- 18:48here because I think
- 18:49everything's super new.
- 18:51And so I,
- 18:53I'm just going to see how it
- 18:54folds out and see how those
- 18:55avenues work and go from there.
- 18:58I feel like it's a learning year.
- 18:59Yeah, I'm really worried.
- 19:03I think we'll see what happens.
- 19:07I actually have confidence
- 19:08that the teams will go off
- 19:10without a hitch that that
- 19:12crew has been doing this
- 19:13for years and nothing
- 19:16really changes for them for
- 19:17the master side.
- 19:19It's like meeting the
- 19:20expectations of the masters
- 19:22who it's going to,
- 19:24it's just going to be a difficult road.
- 19:28Yeah, I agree.
- 19:29I,
- 19:29because those are also all the people
- 19:31that are coming out of the individuals.
- 19:32So they have,
- 19:33they have all of those expectations.
- 19:35Yeah.
- 19:37Yeah.
- 19:38Yeah.
- 19:39And, and yeah,
- 19:40just as simple as the kit of the uniform.
- 19:44Like, I think that's gonna,
- 19:46if that doesn't hit,
- 19:48you're going to have problems and gosh,
- 19:52I'll tell you that last
- 19:53time I finals workout,
- 19:54I was always thinking about the clothes.
- 19:56It was just like, this is for the clothes,
- 19:58you know?
- 20:00So you've been three times.
- 20:01What's your favorite part of the kit?
- 20:05Oh, everything.
- 20:06It's like you, you do a whole fashion show,
- 20:08you know, and you try everything on.
- 20:11It's amazing.
- 20:12It's Christmas.
- 20:13Yeah.
- 20:15Did you do the pick with all the stuff or.
- 20:17Oh yeah.
- 20:18Every year.
- 20:20Yeah.
- 20:21That's so cool.
- 20:24Um,
- 20:25so Jamie has in here in the notes teams
- 20:28getting a full game skit.
- 20:29Do we want to talk about that or no?
- 20:32I don't, I don't know for certain yet,
- 20:34but I mean,
- 20:35it seems to be maybe the case
- 20:39that teams may have go rock
- 20:41as 13 may have go rock as their sponsor.
- 20:47Yeah, honestly,
- 20:49I feel like all that stuff
- 20:51still is waiting to be announced.
- 20:52I have no idea.
- 20:54Yeah.
- 20:57Yeah.
- 21:00If they get it, great for the kids.
- 21:03Yeah.
- 21:05Do I want Masters to get it too?
- 21:06Yes.
- 21:07But the more people that get it,
- 21:09the better.
- 21:11I think personally,
- 21:13I know Masters have a lot more people,
- 21:15but I think if you're going
- 21:15to give it to one side,
- 21:16you have to give it to the other.
- 21:19That's just my thoughts on it.
- 21:22I wish that was the case.
- 21:25Yeah.
- 21:25Yeah.
- 21:29It's going to be masters
- 21:31just starting off on the
- 21:32wrong foot because we
- 21:33didn't even know where it was at.
- 21:35So like,
- 21:35it's hard to get a sponsor when
- 21:36you don't even know the location.
- 21:39Yeah.
- 21:39Like it's, it's just going to be there.
- 21:43They're behind the eight
- 21:44ball to begin with and now
- 21:46have to do all this stuff to catch up.
- 21:48And well,
- 21:51we're going to move into the news
- 21:52of the week, Haley,
- 21:52and we'd love to have you stay.
- 21:54If you want to talk about it,
- 21:56if you need to have to study,
- 21:58we understand that too.
- 21:59I actually, like,
- 22:00I have laundry in the dryer,
- 22:02and if I don't go get it,
- 22:03I think someone's going to take it.
- 22:05So I might have to give up on this one.
- 22:08Been there, done that.
- 22:09But thank you so much for
- 22:10jumping on and giving your perspective.
- 22:12Yeah, thanks for having me.
- 22:13Have a great rest of your night.
- 22:16I'll see you tomorrow.
- 22:17Bye, guys.
- 22:18Bye.
- 22:21See, she can leave.
- 22:22Why can't you leave?
- 22:24Me?
- 22:25Yeah.
- 22:26It's easy.
- 22:27yeah because because I like
- 22:29started the show so I feel
- 22:30like if I leave it'll shut
- 22:31the whole show down okay I
- 22:36do leave studio now so um
- 22:42we we skipped a couple things at the top
- 22:44I was watching a barbell
- 22:46spin last night and the
- 22:47thing I got out of there, um,
- 22:50blind leaderboard was which
- 22:54was better Friday night lights,
- 22:57the TV show or Friday night lights,
- 22:59the movie.
- 23:01Oh, I have not watched the TV show.
- 23:05What?
- 23:05I know.
- 23:08What?
- 23:09So that's what I need to watch.
- 23:11What next?
- 23:11Is that what you're telling me?
- 23:12I loved the movie.
- 23:15One of the greatest TV shows ever.
- 23:20So that's my answer.
- 23:23Okay.
- 23:24There's no way it's one of those.
- 23:32Ken, no.
- 23:32She is not related to Emily.
- 23:37No.
- 23:39No,
- 23:39Kyle's from the UK and Haley's from
- 23:44Michigan.
- 23:45Yeah.
- 23:48Maybe way, way, way back.
- 23:52Possibly somewhere.
- 23:54All right, fine.
- 23:54I'll have to binge the TV show.
- 23:59Like, you'll know if you,
- 24:00if you like it as well in
- 24:02the first season.
- 24:03Okay.
- 24:04Okay.
- 24:05Like watch the first couple episodes.
- 24:08If you're sucked in, you'll be sucked in.
- 24:11If not, then it's not for you.
- 24:14Fair enough.
- 24:14So,
- 24:15but your choice is the TV show over TV
- 24:18show for sure.
- 24:19Okay.
- 24:20And the movie is great.
- 24:21So like LDY two, seven, four, two.
- 24:24Okay.
- 24:26I'll give it a shot.
- 24:28Yeah.
- 24:28I thought the kids were great actors and,
- 24:34It's where Michael B. Jordan
- 24:35got his start.
- 24:36It's where... Now,
- 24:39he doesn't come in until season four-ish,
- 24:42maybe.
- 24:42Oh, okay.
- 24:45But, yeah.
- 24:49It's great.
- 24:50Great acting from all perspectives.
- 24:59Yeah, Tim Riggins is kind of...
- 25:03He's one of the main characters,
- 25:05and he's a mess at the
- 25:06beginning of this thing.
- 25:08So following him through the show is very,
- 25:14very electric to me.
- 25:18Is Tim Riggins the character's name?
- 25:20Character.
- 25:20Who plays him?
- 25:23Tyler Kitsch.
- 25:23Okay.
- 25:27He's been in a bunch of flops.
- 25:30Okay.
- 25:31He was in Lone Survivor as Michael Murphy.
- 25:36Okay.
- 25:37So he played Murph.
- 25:42It's Taylor Kitsch.
- 25:43Taylor Kitsch.
- 25:45Okay.
- 25:46Yeah.
- 25:48Well,
- 25:48Megan didn't like the movie or the TV
- 25:50show.
- 25:55I liked the movie, so.
- 25:57I liked the movie.
- 25:58I thought it was very good.
- 26:01The TV show went above and beyond for me.
- 26:05So there.
- 26:06That's my feelings.
- 26:08All right.
- 26:09I'll check it out.
- 26:11You said any new shows?
- 26:12Is that what... Any binging?
- 26:15Yeah.
- 26:15No, I haven't started anything new.
- 26:16I wondered if you did while
- 26:17you were... Are you still at home?
- 26:20I'm assuming.
- 26:21Yeah,
- 26:21but I can't stay awake for more than
- 26:23an hour watching TV these days.
- 26:26So...
- 26:27More Legos, less TV.
- 26:29More Legos, less TV.
- 26:31Yeah.
- 26:32A lot of YouTube,
- 26:33a lot of... And like Megan said,
- 26:38I'm still watching Friends.
- 26:39That's my like... When I'm
- 26:43having trouble breathing,
- 26:45I put Friends on to relax me.
- 26:49Because it gets my mind off
- 26:50of hearing my breath and just...
- 26:54And I've seen the episode so
- 26:56many times that I, I don't even need to,
- 26:59um,
- 27:04I did the bad batch for star Wars fans.
- 27:09What's that?
- 27:11I think it's a new,
- 27:12I think it's a new show on Disney.
- 27:17Andrew can correct me if I'm wrong.
- 27:19Um,
- 27:22But I'm not,
- 27:24I wasn't a Star Wars guy growing up.
- 27:27Like I was, I was an Indiana Jones guy.
- 27:31That, that was my, we had a,
- 27:34we had a theater.
- 27:34I grew up in a very small town.
- 27:37We had a theater that just
- 27:40had one screen and it had a
- 27:42double feature.
- 27:45And so the same movie might
- 27:46be there for like a year.
- 27:48But the second feature would flip.
- 27:51So if you want to see the other movie.
- 27:53So I saw like Raiders of the
- 27:54Lost Ark 12 times at the theater.
- 28:00And that just became my jam.
- 28:03I did see an update that
- 28:06Reacher is already in like
- 28:08post-production.
- 28:09So it should come out before
- 28:10the end of the year.
- 28:12I saw that as well.
- 28:14I saw him.
- 28:15I saw him on Jimmy Fallon.
- 28:18Okay.
- 28:20Talking about him busting
- 28:22the car burglar and going
- 28:26into reacher mode.
- 28:28Oh.
- 28:29Him and his wife were out
- 28:30for it on a date.
- 28:32And they saw somebody with
- 28:35their legs hanging out of a car window.
- 28:38And his wife's like,
- 28:39what's that guy doing?
- 28:41And he goes, oh my gosh,
- 28:46I think he's stealing.
- 28:48from that car.
- 28:49And his wife goes, you're not going to do.
- 28:52And he goes, but I got to like,
- 28:54he's robbing them.
- 28:56And so he runs the guy down
- 29:00and I guess throws him into
- 29:04a wall and on top of them
- 29:08until authorities get there.
- 29:10Holy cow.
- 29:12He chased him down for like
- 29:13a few blocks before that.
- 29:18mean he's lucky he wasn't
- 29:19like they had a gun or a
- 29:21knife and like that's
- 29:24that's risky yeah so
- 29:30Patrick Clark asks which
- 29:33movie was better Friday
- 29:34Night Lights or Varsity
- 29:35Blues and that's a tough
- 29:38one I mean for like
- 29:42for like strength of a movie in it,
- 29:46like on its face,
- 29:48Friday night lights was a better movie.
- 29:51Farsi blues was really entertaining.
- 29:54Yeah.
- 29:55And if I don't want to like
- 29:56the serious take on it,
- 29:58like varsity blues is a
- 29:59much more relaxing watch.
- 30:01And I, yeah, but,
- 30:04and the football playing is
- 30:07better in front of the lights.
- 30:08Yeah.
- 30:11James Van Der Beek did not
- 30:12look like a quarterback in Marcy Blues.
- 30:16Yeah.
- 30:19Yeah.
- 30:19Yeah,
- 30:20I might give the nod to Friday Night
- 30:21Lights.
- 30:24So Friday Night Lights was more authentic.
- 30:26Marcy Blues is probably more entertaining.
- 30:29Mm-hmm.
- 30:32So...
- 30:38All right.
- 30:38We're going to move into
- 30:39open announcement talk.
- 30:41Sure.
- 30:42All right.
- 30:44All right.
- 30:45Well,
- 30:45I know it's been debated on some
- 30:48other shows.
- 30:49I haven't caught them.
- 30:51But like Jeffrey Birchfield
- 30:54brought it up in some chats.
- 30:56A lot of us have been discussing this.
- 31:00Like Shred Shed gets week two.
- 31:03Proven now gets week three.
- 31:05And I know Proven's an affiliate,
- 31:06so that's maybe a different story.
- 31:08But I'm not even aware if
- 31:09they're fully open to the public yet.
- 31:12Maybe this is like a grand
- 31:14opening type thing.
- 31:15And that's cool, I guess.
- 31:16But the Shred Shed to me getting week two,
- 31:20I feel like,
- 31:23and this goes along with like
- 31:24everything that I have to
- 31:25talk about with open announcements,
- 31:27with the people participating.
- 31:30locations I just feel like
- 31:32we are missing the
- 31:34community aspect which is
- 31:36supposed to be what we're
- 31:37pushing right now right
- 31:39yeah that's what I thought um I think
- 31:46I'm even like,
- 31:47I'm even with you on the
- 31:48proven a bit because I know
- 31:51like Amy's friends.
- 31:53So Amy co-host from the round table,
- 31:55they went to Nashville.
- 31:57They did drop in at proven.
- 31:59So you can drop in.
- 32:01It is an affiliate, but it's not like it.
- 32:05It's just opening.
- 32:09Like include some people.
- 32:13who've just earned it maybe
- 32:15maybe that's what I feel
- 32:16like there's affiliates out
- 32:17there that have earned the
- 32:18opportunity to host an
- 32:20event right so this
- 32:24So this is another point
- 32:26that I wanted to make, like maybe again,
- 32:28maybe the open needs to
- 32:29matter in some fashion.
- 32:32Like I really enjoyed when
- 32:34Annie's team went against
- 32:35the team that the other
- 32:36team that was hosting it.
- 32:38And so you got like a
- 32:39perspective of like just a
- 32:40general public.
- 32:41I mean, they were good too.
- 32:42Don't get me wrong,
- 32:43but they were not a games team per se.
- 32:45So you got like this regular
- 32:47athletes versus games athletes, but like,
- 32:51why not maybe like,
- 32:54say like the top three
- 32:55registrations are going to
- 32:57get the open announcement or top three.
- 32:59And I don't know, it could be budget wise.
- 33:00So maybe you say top three us or whatever,
- 33:03whatever caveat you need to make on it.
- 33:06There'd have to be a lot of
- 33:07caveats because of logistics space.
- 33:11Can it host, but like this isn't new.
- 33:15So yeah, I think it's wrong,
- 33:18but like I went to 20, 22, two,
- 33:24And that was a rogue.
- 33:26Yeah.
- 33:27Rogue's an affiliate,
- 33:29but it is not open to the public.
- 33:35But it is,
- 33:35it is like saying thank you to
- 33:38your partners.
- 33:40Right.
- 33:42Like, so I get it from a business sense,
- 33:45but it doesn't,
- 33:46it doesn't jive with the community talk.
- 33:51Like you said.
- 33:51Yeah.
- 33:53patrick I i would be
- 33:56surprised if if they're
- 34:00charging and I don't know
- 34:02maybe there is some kind of
- 34:03fee exchange but like if I
- 34:05got to be a host gym I
- 34:07would not that's bringing
- 34:09so much attention to my gym
- 34:10that it that like I can't
- 34:12even imagine being or any
- 34:14of my members being mad and
- 34:15be like we need money back
- 34:17for these two days that
- 34:18you're shut down for this
- 34:19like that's crazy
- 34:21if anything it's just
- 34:23railing everyone in the
- 34:24community around like I i
- 34:27can't imagine that's a
- 34:29costume so I will say this
- 34:31when when it was at rogue
- 34:33like crossfit players got
- 34:34tickets to hand out to their members
- 34:39then the first so many got
- 34:41the tickets that's how I
- 34:42got my ticket I didn't get
- 34:43it through like a thing or
- 34:45or anything like that um I
- 34:47got it through crossfit
- 34:48polaris because crossfit
- 34:50handed out tickets to
- 34:51affiliates around columbus
- 34:53to bring their people down
- 34:55to watch the open
- 34:56announcement yeah and so I
- 35:00don't know if that's going
- 35:01to happen at the shred shed
- 35:03there's no way it's it's
- 35:04his house like there's going to be
- 35:0820 people there.
- 35:09I think you're missing the entire... No.
- 35:12The entire point of the open announcement.
- 35:14Proven you could hand out
- 35:15tickets to Nashville
- 35:16affiliates to come in.
- 35:18Sure.
- 35:19Right?
- 35:20And then, okay, then I'm okay with it,
- 35:22right?
- 35:23You're getting a lot of people involved.
- 35:28You know?
- 35:28Yeah, but... Okay,
- 35:31but this still goes back
- 35:32to... So one of my bigger points is...
- 35:35You have chosen,
- 35:37we now know point three is Tia and Ariel.
- 35:41So now we have basically your, like,
- 35:43top three finishers over
- 35:45the last couple years.
- 35:47That's who is getting to compete.
- 35:50And Colton.
- 35:52Like...
- 35:56Why are we constantly,
- 35:57we already know that Tia
- 36:00gets 90% of the coverage
- 36:01when it gets to semis in the games.
- 36:04And so does Jeff and so does whoever,
- 36:07I mean,
- 36:07I guess Jeff doesn't get a ton of
- 36:09airtime.
- 36:10But you already highlight
- 36:13Justin and these athletes
- 36:16who are your top five in
- 36:18the world throughout the whole season.
- 36:21Like,
- 36:21is that who we continually need to
- 36:23put the spotlight on?
- 36:24Is that the only people that
- 36:26can rally people to watch these?
- 36:29I can't imagine it is.
- 36:30Maybe you get one or two of
- 36:32them for one of the announcements,
- 36:33but there's other people
- 36:37that you could bring in to
- 36:38hype up all these divisions.
- 36:41Why is a teen or a master or
- 36:44an adaptive not at any of
- 36:45these announcements?
- 36:50That part...
- 36:53That part I don't understand.
- 36:56And if they're not going to do it,
- 37:01then why isn't Legends
- 37:02doing like a Friday Night
- 37:05Lights or The Pit doing a
- 37:09Friday Night Lights where
- 37:10you're highlighting your
- 37:11teens or your masters?
- 37:13Because...
- 37:15Let's be honest.
- 37:16CrossFit's a business.
- 37:18Patrick's saying it a ton in the comments.
- 37:20They are down on money.
- 37:21They need to hype this up as
- 37:24much as possible, right?
- 37:26You need to get viewers on
- 37:28these open announcements.
- 37:30So you need to have the best
- 37:32of the best from a business perspective.
- 37:35Does that get me pumped up?
- 37:37No.
- 37:39But does it get the general
- 37:41population of the CrossFit
- 37:42world pumped up?
- 37:43Probably.
- 37:46does it though I like I'm
- 37:47not lying like when I got
- 37:48to see those open
- 37:50announcements that featured
- 37:51even like rory and baz or
- 37:55the three I loved those
- 37:57like see your regular and I
- 38:00feel like most of the
- 38:00community loved those they
- 38:02loved seeing a regular joe
- 38:04schmo hit the workout and then what
- 38:08Like doing more than just
- 38:09the top two in the world,
- 38:11I think is extremely
- 38:13important if they're trying
- 38:14to push CrossFit to the masses.
- 38:16You cannot keep showing just
- 38:17Tia all the time.
- 38:20That's not even a realistic viewpoint.
- 38:23It's a story this year.
- 38:26Right?
- 38:27There's going to be plenty of coverage.
- 38:31It's a story that possibly
- 38:33gets eyeballs on what's going to happen.
- 38:38And you know doggone well
- 38:39it's mom versus mom.
- 38:41They've already got the banners made up.
- 38:44Who's the fittest mom?
- 38:46It's going to be all that
- 38:47stuff with Ariel and her.
- 38:51That's the storyline they're
- 38:52going to go with.
- 38:54Get a regular mom.
- 38:55Okay.
- 38:55Like...
- 39:03I mean,
- 39:03if that's what you're trying to push,
- 39:04that even moms can do this, cool.
- 39:06Get one of the moms from
- 39:08somewhere in Nashville to
- 39:09show up and do it as well.
- 39:15I'm not against that.
- 39:16I'm not against having...
- 39:19When we had Boz on here,
- 39:20the one thing I said to him is,
- 39:21I miss Roe versus Boz.
- 39:24It gave...
- 39:26Joe average, an idea of what to expect.
- 39:30When I see Tia do a workout,
- 39:32that's not even realistic for me.
- 39:35Right?
- 39:35Roe versus Boz probably
- 39:37isn't realistic for me either,
- 39:38but at least it's in my
- 39:40sight that I can understand it.
- 39:44Yeah.
- 39:45So I agree with you.
- 39:46I think,
- 39:47and it doesn't have to be Roe and Boz,
- 39:49two people that just,
- 39:52but have some name
- 39:53recognition in the space.
- 39:56I think is important.
- 39:58Sure.
- 39:59I'm not saying they
- 40:00shouldn't have a
- 40:01representative from the elites.
- 40:04I just don't think every
- 40:05week needs to include only
- 40:09your top five in the world.
- 40:10Like there's more people do
- 40:15it and we just don't know yet.
- 40:17They're not announcing that aspect.
- 40:20A lot of what's been out there was leaked.
- 40:23Like the locations of these
- 40:24things were dug up by the barbell spin.
- 40:28Yeah.
- 40:29Not by, not by a release from CrossFit.
- 40:33So it'll be interesting to
- 40:38see what else they put on with it.
- 40:41Because I do think you have
- 40:43to have Castro versus Dawn.
- 40:46That would be freaking awesome.
- 40:49That would be funny.
- 40:50Like that would get eyeballs.
- 40:57But something like that, right?
- 41:00Yeah.
- 41:01Rich versus the world.
- 41:05I mean, right.
- 41:06And Taylor's doing... And Ken says,
- 41:08why can't they just do
- 41:09their own thing like Taylor
- 41:10versus the world?
- 41:11Well, that only gets shared so far.
- 41:18Who's promoting that?
- 41:20Who's putting that content out there?
- 41:23I mean...
- 41:26We're trying to show a
- 41:27different viewpoint and
- 41:28it's not getting thousands of views.
- 41:31We've only done two episodes.
- 41:33We're just getting started.
- 41:36Patience.
- 41:38I mean,
- 41:40usually that stuff you know if it's
- 41:41going to take off or not.
- 41:46Yeah.
- 41:46Yeah.
- 41:48think we're going to expand
- 41:49that too I think we're
- 41:50going to try some different
- 41:51things through the open
- 41:52hopefully which I want to
- 41:53talk to you about after
- 41:54we're done tonight yeah
- 41:56yeah um but yeah I'd love
- 42:00to do that something
- 42:00through the open to show
- 42:03some different age group
- 42:05stuff yeah I mean we work
- 42:10with with the pit to get a teen
- 42:15to go head to head with you,
- 42:17something like that.
- 42:21Yeah, that'd be cool.
- 42:24So, um,
- 42:29I think the area we're missing
- 42:30really big is you don't get
- 42:32to see the adaptive scaled version.
- 42:36Right.
- 42:37I think that is one that we
- 42:40have never seen.
- 42:41And I would love to see, um,
- 42:44what's going on with that.
- 42:46Ken, we will get there.
- 42:47That's at the bottom of the list.
- 42:49Hold, hold.
- 42:50Um,
- 42:51I would like to see the numbers on
- 42:54fronings when mayhem, I,
- 42:57I know they did it last year,
- 42:59two years ago.
- 43:00Um,
- 43:00and they would always bring in a
- 43:02foundations athlete, a scaled athlete,
- 43:04a regular athlete in the elite.
- 43:06So it was like a regular RX
- 43:08athlete and then one of the elites.
- 43:09And I think Victoria Campos
- 43:10was in one of the weeks, um,
- 43:13that Charlie Curran was in
- 43:14one of the weeks, uh,
- 43:17And that was great.
- 43:18I would actually like to see
- 43:19the numbers on that
- 43:20compared to maybe some of
- 43:21their other stuff.
- 43:22That would be,
- 43:22I feel like if they could
- 43:24delve into that and share
- 43:25that with CrossFit and be like,
- 43:29this was getting so many hits.
- 43:31People wanted to see these other levels.
- 43:35Mayhem gets,
- 43:36they don't need CrossFit to get hits.
- 43:41I know, but if that gets more than like,
- 43:46Shoot,
- 43:46I'd be curious if it gets more than
- 43:48the open announcement views.
- 43:51You know, like,
- 43:52is it on par with the open
- 43:53announcement views?
- 43:54Like, that's like, hey,
- 43:56your open announcement
- 43:57views are only going to get so far.
- 43:59If you could include something like this,
- 44:00you would get even more.
- 44:02Or does it get more than
- 44:03like their regular Mayhem
- 44:05Monday or whatever?
- 44:07Like, how much bigger is it?
- 44:08Or is it not a hit?
- 44:09Is it less than Mayhem
- 44:10Monday normal episode?
- 44:12I don't know.
- 44:13That's what I'd be curious
- 44:14on the metrics there.
- 44:17Yeah, theirs is more of a tips and tricks.
- 44:20Yes.
- 44:23Sort of.
- 44:23I mean, yeah,
- 44:24that's how they open the video.
- 44:25They talk about tips.
- 44:26Then they show the whole
- 44:27workout with those four athletes going.
- 44:30And then I think they finish up with, like,
- 44:35mobility tips.
- 44:36or whatever to go into it.
- 44:38So tell me start at or
- 44:40someone would come on and
- 44:41give you some extra.
- 44:51Yeah, Patrick, you're probably right.
- 44:54CrossFit didn't communicate
- 44:55that they weren't a part of the open.
- 44:57And again,
- 44:57a lot of what we know has been leaked.
- 45:00Maybe there are plans that
- 45:02we just don't know yet.
- 45:03But
- 45:05No, I'm just giving benefit.
- 45:09How are they not a part of the open?
- 45:11They've told those people
- 45:13that they specifically are
- 45:14a part of the open.
- 45:15They don't get their own thing.
- 45:16They don't like they've told
- 45:18them you need to follow the
- 45:19season until this point.
- 45:20And then they could create their own.
- 45:23He's saying they could
- 45:24create their own open
- 45:25announcements and do
- 45:28something with their demographic.
- 45:36I mean, you need, then you need.
- 45:39CrossFit's the only one with
- 45:41the announcement.
- 45:42You'd have to just like, yeah.
- 45:48So that's where they're at a
- 45:49big disadvantage is the
- 45:51announcement is made,
- 45:54but they don't control that.
- 45:57Yeah.
- 46:00So.
- 46:00I don't know.
- 46:03Well,
- 46:03since we're talking about open
- 46:04announcements, the clue for 24.1.
- 46:09Oh, you're jumping all the way to that.
- 46:12Yeah,
- 46:12because we're talking about the open.
- 46:15I'm just trying to.
- 46:15Well,
- 46:16what about you have Justin leaks a
- 46:18movement?
- 46:21Well,
- 46:21I was going to do that after the
- 46:22mushroom.
- 46:23Okay.
- 46:24All right.
- 46:28You're going to show the toast?
- 46:31Show the clue.
- 46:33Sure.
- 46:36Let me pull it up.
- 46:44Okay.
- 46:45So here is the big clue for 24.1.
- 46:52I'm sure we all know what
- 46:53the workout is now.
- 46:58It's going to be something
- 46:59that gives you foot fungus.
- 47:04Okay, interesting take.
- 47:08So those of you just listening,
- 47:09it's a mushroom if you haven't seen it.
- 47:11And it's not a real mushroom, right?
- 47:17There are no real mushrooms
- 47:18that are that red.
- 47:22Apparently it's a real mushroom.
- 47:23What do you mean?
- 47:25Okay.
- 47:26It's like a, I don't know,
- 47:28someone put what it is,
- 47:29a fly agaric or something like that.
- 47:32the actual genus name of it or whatever.
- 47:35Um, I,
- 47:39so I feel like this moves us into
- 47:43separate talking.
- 47:44Um, like,
- 47:47so Dave has said that there's
- 47:50going to be no tape needed for the open.
- 47:56Did you watch the affiliate
- 47:57town hall today?
- 47:59I did not.
- 48:00Okay.
- 48:01Um,
- 48:02So great.
- 48:04I like,
- 48:04they've already said there wouldn't
- 48:05really be floor plans per se, just like,
- 48:07don't be dumb and set up the equipment.
- 48:09So we kind of knew that,
- 48:10but like no tape needed at all.
- 48:14I like right out the bat,
- 48:16there's not going to be shuttles.
- 48:17There's not going to be handstand walk.
- 48:19There's not going to be wall walks.
- 48:20There's not going to be
- 48:21handstand pushups unless
- 48:23there's some kind of weird,
- 48:25something else that they do there,
- 48:26I suppose.
- 48:27But if you are not,
- 48:29Putting tape on the ground
- 48:30and having any specific
- 48:32start and finish point, hand placement.
- 48:37There's a few things that
- 48:38are basically off the table for the open,
- 48:42which some people will be
- 48:44fairly happy about, I'm sure.
- 48:46I think a lot of people
- 48:47wanted no more shuttles.
- 48:52So we know that.
- 48:53We know that Home Depot hates that.
- 48:56Home Depot is rioting.
- 48:59Their sale of masking tape
- 49:01in different colors.
- 49:03Yeah.
- 49:04Going down this year.
- 49:09So he's also,
- 49:11Dave's also stated in other
- 49:13podcasts that the open was going to be
- 49:19For one, it would be unique,
- 49:21this first event,
- 49:22but that the open would be
- 49:24more about intensity than
- 49:27necessarily the skill work.
- 49:31So it wouldn't be unique in
- 49:35the movement being high
- 49:37skill program is how I took that.
- 49:41And maybe I'm completely wrong on that.
- 49:43But I think it's going to be
- 49:45just basic movements that
- 49:49you have to decide to hurt
- 49:51on to get the best score in the world.
- 49:58When Veronica saw this, she said organic.
- 50:03So she thinks it's going to
- 50:04be something organic.
- 50:07Oh,
- 50:07you're going to read Blacksmith's quote,
- 50:09Chandler?
- 50:09I always love his.
- 50:10Chandler Smith came in with,
- 50:19as we all know,
- 50:20Dave Castro is the very
- 50:21definition of a fun guy.
- 50:23Selecting a mushroom is par
- 50:24for the course for such a person.
- 50:26But examining the genus
- 50:30picture delivers us all the
- 50:32relevant details for ascertaining 24.1.
- 50:34The fly...
- 50:38Agaric is native to North
- 50:40America and is perhaps best
- 50:42known from its appearances
- 50:44in the Super Mario series.
- 50:46While at first glance we'd
- 50:47think that the linkages end here,
- 50:50we must go one level deeper
- 50:52to arrive at the final answer.
- 50:54Mario is, of course,
- 50:55the flagship character of Nintendo.
- 50:58Here's where it gets interesting.
- 50:59Colors of the fly, a Garrick, Nintendo,
- 51:02Japan, all red and white.
- 51:05This clearly points us to
- 51:06the fact that the workout
- 51:07will be a marriage between
- 51:09two complimentary movements.
- 51:11The company and the
- 51:13character status as icon
- 51:15reflect the iconic status
- 51:17of our two favorite CrossFit movements,
- 51:19the clean and
- 51:21and the thruster.
- 51:23After counting the eight
- 51:24letters in red and white,
- 51:26we can obviously see that
- 51:2824.1 will be eight minutes of clusters.
- 51:36That's quite the take, huh?
- 51:38It is.
- 51:40I love his clues.
- 51:41His little rants about the clues.
- 51:46Honestly, not a bad pick.
- 51:50I could see it going
- 51:51somewhere in that direction.
- 51:54And again, how bad do you want to hurt?
- 51:57And how long do you want to
- 51:58hold on to that thing for?
- 51:59How fast are you going to move it?
- 52:03I think 24.1 is going to be pretty basic.
- 52:06I do think with the uniqueness,
- 52:10I do think he's going to
- 52:11try to go somewhere in the realm of like,
- 52:16timeframe or setup that we
- 52:18haven't seen as in like a
- 52:20death by sequence of some sort.
- 52:23Um,
- 52:25I still think it could be something
- 52:26like Telsu with the EMOM
- 52:29format where you're just
- 52:31trying to get all those
- 52:32thrusters done and you have to like,
- 52:34are you able to do the five
- 52:36burpees and get any,
- 52:38or are you doing just
- 52:39surviving and doing the five burpees?
- 52:41Um,
- 52:41how long is it going to take you to get
- 52:42through the thrusters?
- 52:44Um,
- 52:45But I also could see it
- 52:46being just like super basic
- 52:48like row kales and burpee over the rower.
- 52:52And like literally no standards.
- 52:58kind of like rich did one
- 52:59year like he was like get
- 53:01just get over the rower I
- 53:02don't care how you get over
- 53:03the rower I we're not
- 53:04judging that just get over
- 53:06the rower and so sure you
- 53:08can step over the rower and
- 53:09it is super inclusive you
- 53:10aren't going to win that
- 53:11way I guarantee it so the
- 53:13people who want to win are
- 53:14going to have to hurt and
- 53:15are going to have to jump
- 53:16them all um but it makes it
- 53:20where we're not judging the
- 53:22in between of the movement like
- 53:24get down, get over,
- 53:26you choose how fast you want to go.
- 53:27Um, and I,
- 53:30it almost takes like the need
- 53:32for a scaled out of the workout,
- 53:36which I think kind of is
- 53:37usually the case of a 0.1.
- 53:39So my thought was the repeat of,
- 53:43I think it's 14 for the deadlift box.
- 53:4814, three, 14, three.
- 53:50And I just did it.
- 53:50Okay.
- 53:53With the descending reps of
- 53:57the deadlift and the ascending weight.
- 54:01So as you go up the mushroom, it shrinks,
- 54:05right?
- 54:06So less reps, but it gets heavier.
- 54:09And then back then,
- 54:11the standard for the box
- 54:14jump was get on top of the box,
- 54:16get off the box, however you wish.
- 54:19Right.
- 54:21Um, no.
- 54:22So step ups, hop ups,
- 54:25whatever you wanted to do, you could do.
- 54:27Um,
- 54:29it was one of my favorite open workouts
- 54:31ever.
- 54:32Um,
- 54:32and so maybe I'm just being more hopeful,
- 54:35uh, than anything.
- 54:38Um, that's the open where I,
- 54:41that's the event where I
- 54:41beat Bob Harper from the
- 54:43biggest loser by one rep.
- 54:45Nice.
- 54:46And that made my day.
- 54:48Yeah.
- 54:49made my lifetime how about
- 54:51that um and I'd never
- 54:53pulled whatever it was I
- 54:56got to 325 I was still kind
- 54:59of at the beginning of my
- 54:59crossfit comeback and my
- 55:02back was and so I'd never
- 55:05pulled that much before and
- 55:07I did it for like 12 reps
- 55:08or something thanks yeah it was a
- 55:14I think something like that.
- 55:17Um, the other one,
- 55:18my first ever open workout
- 55:20was the burpees and
- 55:22snatches where the snatches light, um,
- 55:26with a higher rep and got
- 55:28heavier with lower reps.
- 55:30And the burpees went down in
- 55:32number to get there,
- 55:33but it was burpee to a target.
- 55:35Um, pretty standard jump up, hit the pole.
- 55:40then do your snatches no
- 55:42tape needed for that um
- 55:45although the snatch is not
- 55:47a low barrier movement even
- 55:49at a lightweight yeah I
- 55:53could totally see box jumps
- 55:55of some sort or or step up
- 55:57or get up however you want
- 55:58I just when you look at
- 56:00this you think mario or toad or
- 56:04Getting them up,
- 56:05banging the thing and
- 56:06getting the mushroom out.
- 56:07Um, so I,
- 56:08I can totally see box jumps being
- 56:10in week one.
- 56:11Um, and box jumps,
- 56:13get your heart rate up the same,
- 56:15like similar fashion of shuttles.
- 56:18Um, so I could see totally see box jumps.
- 56:22I just don't know what to
- 56:23compare what paired with.
- 56:25Well,
- 56:25that's probably more time than I
- 56:26wanted to spend on Castro's
- 56:27crew clue because we're not gonna,
- 56:32we're all going to be wrong anyway.
- 56:35Sometimes we're pretty close.
- 56:36All right.
- 56:39I usually do a, I usually do a thing in my,
- 56:41at my gym where I post on,
- 56:43on our team page and like they win,
- 56:46I don't know,
- 56:47a can of eight or something.
- 56:48Um, and I feel like I'm like very,
- 56:53very close every year.
- 56:55Um, I guess this,
- 56:56I usually have like the two
- 56:57movements or something.
- 56:59Um,
- 57:00so I always have to give it to like
- 57:01second place because I usually win.
- 57:04So,
- 57:05So Justin leaks a movement.
- 57:10Did you watch that whole interview?
- 57:12No, I don't think he did.
- 57:14But I have heard people who
- 57:15did watch the whole thing
- 57:17said he was guessing the
- 57:18whole time at different movements.
- 57:21So taking out of context,
- 57:23it appeared that he was
- 57:24leaking a movement.
- 57:26Right.
- 57:27If he wouldn't have said we
- 57:28had to cut this out real quick,
- 57:31I think there would be no question.
- 57:33But because he said that and
- 57:34then they cut it,
- 57:37Now there's questions.
- 57:40Now, maybe they do know something.
- 57:46Because there's a lot of...
- 57:47Because there's no tape line,
- 57:49there's been a lot of
- 57:49discussion that we probably
- 57:51will still see lunges,
- 57:53but they'll be in the...
- 57:55just reverse step lunge
- 57:57fashion right and so maybe
- 57:59he had maybe they did know
- 58:00something maybe he had
- 58:01heard lunges and that's why
- 58:03he assumed no chance
- 58:04they're doing it in the
- 58:04shred shed because maybe
- 58:05they were he already knows
- 58:07there's not really enough
- 58:08space for multiple people
- 58:09to do a lunging workout um
- 58:13but then when they were he
- 58:14was told and it was in the
- 58:15shred shed he was like
- 58:16guess we're not doing
- 58:18lunges but maybe they are
- 58:20so it'll be very
- 58:21interesting to see if we
- 58:22have in place lunges in week two
- 58:25Yeah, I totally agree.
- 58:25It could be a number of
- 58:26steps where we're not
- 58:27marking anything off.
- 58:29Could be eight in place.
- 58:31Yes, I totally agree.
- 58:33I actually think we may still see lunging.
- 58:37I don't disagree.
- 58:38I think I brought it up on
- 58:40one of the shows in the
- 58:41last couple weeks that why
- 58:43couldn't you just do an in-place lunge?
- 58:46They suck just as bad as walking.
- 58:49I think they're worse.
- 58:49They take longer.
- 58:50So...
- 58:54Yeah.
- 58:54Yeah.
- 58:55I don't know if there's a
- 58:56movement that wrecks me as
- 58:58quickly as lunges.
- 59:02Just I can squat all day, man.
- 59:04You go to lunch.
- 59:06I'm just, just done.
- 59:09I would prefer to launch.
- 59:11So new,
- 59:13another new team announced this week.
- 59:15Yeah.
- 59:16This is putting together Chandler,
- 59:19Joshua El Chama.
- 59:21Yep.
- 59:21Evan Kim.
- 59:23And Lauren Fisher.
- 59:26Yeah.
- 59:27So, man, I feel like, you know,
- 59:33you got your two returners
- 59:34from last year's winning team.
- 59:36And we all know Chandler's no slouch.
- 59:39And I've been excited with
- 59:41what I've seen from Lauren
- 59:41Fisher over this last year.
- 59:44But I, man,
- 59:47I think Noah's team with Tola
- 59:49is got the edge.
- 59:59Yeah, I don't know.
- 1:00:00I don't know.
- 1:00:02I don't know.
- 1:00:03Chandler's so strong.
- 1:00:05Chandler can go toe-to-toe with Tola.
- 1:00:07I know.
- 1:00:08Chandler can go toe-to-toe with Tola.
- 1:00:12Yeah.
- 1:00:14I don't think they have the
- 1:00:15male gymnastic engine equivalent of Noah.
- 1:00:21Right.
- 1:00:24Because, you know,
- 1:00:26say what you will about Noah.
- 1:00:28Like, that dude is fit.
- 1:00:31I think he's got a renewed
- 1:00:34purpose with this going team,
- 1:00:38and he's going 100% to win it.
- 1:00:39Yeah,
- 1:00:43I think we're going to see that play out.
- 1:00:49Patrick Clark says Tevin Kim
- 1:00:51is the best woman of the two teams.
- 1:00:53I think he may have a vested
- 1:00:54interest in that,
- 1:00:55so we'll take that with a grain of salt.
- 1:00:59Yeah, I don't.
- 1:01:03I think Devin Kim is super fit.
- 1:01:04She's been on a team.
- 1:01:05She knows how to play the team game.
- 1:01:07I think she's a great
- 1:01:08addition to the team.
- 1:01:10But Mattel Garns is a
- 1:01:11two-time games athlete as an individual.
- 1:01:16And Lena Richter has been
- 1:01:18with team forever and done really well.
- 1:01:26Andrew Sten with I'm Not Sold on Tola.
- 1:01:29He's been on a few teams now,
- 1:01:30and they've really not done
- 1:01:31as well as expected.
- 1:01:34I don't think you can blame that on Tola.
- 1:01:36I don't either.
- 1:01:37That's unfair.
- 1:01:39It's been people around him that have,
- 1:01:43and one of those was Lauren Fisher.
- 1:01:45I know.
- 1:01:46Going into the 21, 22 games.
- 1:01:50Right.
- 1:01:51I mean, she just was hurt.
- 1:01:54Right.
- 1:01:55If any,
- 1:01:56Lauren Fisher looks so good this
- 1:01:59offseason.
- 1:02:00She does.
- 1:02:01That...
- 1:02:03so that gives me a little bit of pause.
- 1:02:05Um, she looks so good at rogue, um,
- 1:02:10on the first couple of days
- 1:02:11till rain kind of messed up
- 1:02:14a lot of stuff.
- 1:02:16Um,
- 1:02:16it would have been interesting to see
- 1:02:17how that went in like a dry field.
- 1:02:20So, but anyway,
- 1:02:22it's going to be interesting.
- 1:02:23Maybe there is some interest
- 1:02:24in the team now that we
- 1:02:26have all these kind of
- 1:02:27super teams coming together
- 1:02:29to kind of see how it all lands.
- 1:02:37The spin poll.
- 1:02:40Yeah.
- 1:02:44New spin poll came out.
- 1:02:47I want to say only 18 or 19
- 1:02:50of us voted this cycle.
- 1:02:53I think it's very reflective.
- 1:02:56Some of the men changed,
- 1:02:57but you can see the middle
- 1:03:00there and the women just
- 1:03:01didn't change at all.
- 1:03:02I feel like people just
- 1:03:04resubmitted.
- 1:03:05The people that voted just
- 1:03:07sent their ballot back in
- 1:03:09and maybe with a couple
- 1:03:10changes here on the men's
- 1:03:11side and didn't look much
- 1:03:13into the women's side.
- 1:03:14I did get my vote in.
- 1:03:17Oh, you did?
- 1:03:17I did.
- 1:03:19Oh, good.
- 1:03:21It didn't show you in the list.
- 1:03:24It didn't?
- 1:03:26No.
- 1:03:27In his post on IG, say that?
- 1:03:33It accepted it when I put it in.
- 1:03:37Interesting, yeah.
- 1:03:39If you look at the post on IG,
- 1:03:41it says these are the
- 1:03:42people who participated.
- 1:03:47And Patrick Clark missed.
- 1:03:49Yeah, I mean,
- 1:03:51I saw so many missing names
- 1:03:53that I immediately was like, oh,
- 1:03:55this is kind of not a great
- 1:03:57representation.
- 1:03:57And then you saw...
- 1:04:04And I did see Will
- 1:04:06Branceter's comment about
- 1:04:08whoever picked Lawson needs
- 1:04:09to be kicked out of the pool.
- 1:04:13I will say I did not pick Lawson to win,
- 1:04:15though.
- 1:04:17He's got a point.
- 1:04:18If you aren't picking Tia to
- 1:04:19win... Why is that a point?
- 1:04:24Because I feel like Tia's...
- 1:04:26I just... I don't think...
- 1:04:30We will see.
- 1:04:31We will see when Tia does
- 1:04:33the live announcement how she's looking.
- 1:04:36I call bullshit.
- 1:04:38Then Jeff Adler should be
- 1:04:40number one on the men's side.
- 1:04:45I did pick Jeff Adler.
- 1:04:49I picked Jeff Adler as number one.
- 1:04:50I'm just saying,
- 1:04:51you can't go on the women's
- 1:04:52side and say you have to pick Tia.
- 1:04:55It's two years after the fact.
- 1:04:58Life has changed.
- 1:04:59People have gotten better.
- 1:05:00Things can happen.
- 1:05:02She didn't win Rogue.
- 1:05:05Yeah, that was so soon after.
- 1:05:07And she barely lost.
- 1:05:10I don't think there's a
- 1:05:11chance that anyone can catch her,
- 1:05:12but we'll see.
- 1:05:14Maybe things have changed.
- 1:05:19I voted to win.
- 1:05:21I've said it on the show
- 1:05:22that my biggest call for
- 1:05:25the year is Emma Lawson is
- 1:05:27going to shock the world
- 1:05:28and beat both Laura and Tia at the games.
- 1:05:32You have said that.
- 1:05:33I have said that,
- 1:05:37but she keeps getting better.
- 1:05:39She's 19 years old.
- 1:05:41Like her, her PRS are going to be,
- 1:05:45we are still in the jumping phase.
- 1:05:52I just think Tia is Matt in
- 1:06:00that only Tia can beat Tia.
- 1:06:03Tia needs to leave the race
- 1:06:05for someone else to win.
- 1:06:08Rogue didn't test everything.
- 1:06:12When it came to grip on a barbell,
- 1:06:15or not a barbell, on a rig,
- 1:06:17she didn't do well.
- 1:06:19she struggled in different
- 1:06:21aspects and with a complete
- 1:06:24event that wasn't rained out and changed.
- 1:06:28I don't,
- 1:06:30it's still been a couple of years.
- 1:06:35I don't know.
- 1:06:35I guess we'll see in the
- 1:06:36open announcement how fit she looks.
- 1:06:39I think she's,
- 1:06:41But to use the logic that
- 1:06:44she has to be your number
- 1:06:45one pick or you should be
- 1:06:47kicked out of the poll.
- 1:06:48Well, on the men's side,
- 1:06:49we're throwing Roman Krennikoff,
- 1:06:51who can't even finish an event.
- 1:06:52We're throwing Ricky Garrard up there,
- 1:06:54who's been hurt several times.
- 1:06:57Yeah.
- 1:06:58Like,
- 1:06:59they should be kicked out of the poll,
- 1:07:00in my view.
- 1:07:02Jeff Fadler won the damn games last year.
- 1:07:04He gets no respect.
- 1:07:09It looks closer on the men's side,
- 1:07:10at least.
- 1:07:14Yes,
- 1:07:14Frazier could have taken a year off
- 1:07:15and come back just as dominant.
- 1:07:17There's just no, like,
- 1:07:23that dude was unbeatable.
- 1:07:26You say that, but when you take a year off,
- 1:07:29things change.
- 1:07:30Priorities change.
- 1:07:32It's harder to get back into that grind.
- 1:07:37Not for someone like Matt or Tia.
- 1:07:42I disagree.
- 1:07:45I would like to be surprised.
- 1:07:47I think Tia and Matt didn't
- 1:07:50do really anything for the sport.
- 1:07:52And it's why I don't like
- 1:07:54want to keep leaning on
- 1:07:55pushing her for the storyline.
- 1:07:57Like, I don't think we need to.
- 1:08:00So let's move.
- 1:08:00Let's move on.
- 1:08:02Cause I agree.
- 1:08:02They didn't do it.
- 1:08:03They haven't done much for the sport.
- 1:08:06Right.
- 1:08:06And I'm glad that I thought
- 1:08:09last year's games were the
- 1:08:10best because you didn't
- 1:08:11know who was going to win
- 1:08:12and it was much better.
- 1:08:16Who did you have number one
- 1:08:17on the men's side?
- 1:08:19Jeff.
- 1:08:20Who'd you have number one on
- 1:08:21the women's side?
- 1:08:23Tia.
- 1:08:24Okay.
- 1:08:25I had Jeff and Emma.
- 1:08:30One thing that is kind of
- 1:08:32been bumping me lately is I
- 1:08:36think Saxon Pan checks in
- 1:08:37for a comeback year.
- 1:08:38So I moved him into my top 10.
- 1:08:40Nice.
- 1:08:43that's kind of like the one big surprise.
- 1:08:45I have Medeiros up higher
- 1:08:47than Krennikoff because I
- 1:08:48think Medeiros is going to
- 1:08:49have a bounce back here from last year.
- 1:08:54Where'd you put Krennikoff?
- 1:08:55Fourth?
- 1:08:56I had Krennikoff like fifth.
- 1:08:59Okay.
- 1:09:02I could see that.
- 1:09:05His erratic behavior this
- 1:09:06offseason just has me not
- 1:09:09confident in what's going on.
- 1:09:12Yeah.
- 1:09:14And then on the women's side,
- 1:09:15I keep bumping Ariel back up.
- 1:09:18Do you?
- 1:09:20Yeah.
- 1:09:20Like I have her at fourth right now.
- 1:09:22Okay.
- 1:09:24Ahead of Alex.
- 1:09:27Okay.
- 1:09:27The more I see her and knowing Ariel,
- 1:09:32like there's some
- 1:09:33confidence there that she's never had.
- 1:09:36And I'm excited to see how
- 1:09:39she competes with
- 1:09:40confidence for the first time.
- 1:09:46You know what I mean?
- 1:09:48Yeah.
- 1:09:48I, yeah, I can see that.
- 1:09:50She's really coming into her own.
- 1:09:52I think she's in a,
- 1:09:53she's got her set up going.
- 1:09:55She's, she's in her happy place.
- 1:09:58She's grooving.
- 1:10:00Yeah.
- 1:10:01So on, on my list,
- 1:10:03I've bumped her up to
- 1:10:03fourth ahead of Alex.
- 1:10:06I think there's a lot of
- 1:10:06pressure on Alex and I just don't know.
- 1:10:09I don't know how she's going
- 1:10:10to deal with it.
- 1:10:11And then, and I,
- 1:10:13and I bumped Emma carry up a bit.
- 1:10:16But again, I don't know.
- 1:10:18I just don't know where to land her.
- 1:10:24Yeah, she's such a wild card for me.
- 1:10:28When you get into pain cave stuff,
- 1:10:31that girl's insane.
- 1:10:35But she started the games
- 1:10:37off just on a bad foot last
- 1:10:38year and had to kind of
- 1:10:40come back from that and had
- 1:10:41a top 10 finish.
- 1:10:43So...
- 1:10:45maybe that was a great
- 1:10:46learning experience for her.
- 1:10:48Yeah.
- 1:10:48And they probably won't have
- 1:10:50an outdoor event like that.
- 1:10:51Like,
- 1:10:52I don't think they're going to have a
- 1:10:53bike ride again.
- 1:10:56Yeah.
- 1:10:58So, so anyway, I just,
- 1:11:03I wish people would have put,
- 1:11:05Put more thought into it
- 1:11:06because they clearly I mean,
- 1:11:07you've got Annie still in
- 1:11:09there being pregnant.
- 1:11:11You've got Jamie Simmons still in there.
- 1:11:13Like I slid those people out.
- 1:11:15Sometimes I feel like maybe
- 1:11:16it doesn't read my when I
- 1:11:18type people in because it
- 1:11:19doesn't move it in.
- 1:11:20I wish this I wish this was
- 1:11:22like a little more interactive.
- 1:11:23Like I could like it's
- 1:11:24interactive on the right.
- 1:11:25You can slide up and down.
- 1:11:26But if I type somebody in,
- 1:11:27I want them to pop up so I
- 1:11:29can put them where I want them.
- 1:11:31Does that make sense?
- 1:11:33Yep.
- 1:11:34So like there's where I feel like it,
- 1:11:37it doesn't go through for me.
- 1:11:40Yeah.
- 1:11:40My first,
- 1:11:41so I was late because I was in
- 1:11:43the hospital and I had
- 1:11:45bigger fish to fry.
- 1:11:47Um,
- 1:11:48but what I did is everybody who
- 1:11:49announced team,
- 1:11:51I just like swiped all the
- 1:11:52way to the bottom.
- 1:11:53Right.
- 1:11:54Got them out of the list completely.
- 1:11:57So I did put a lot of
- 1:11:58thought into this and then
- 1:11:59it didn't count.
- 1:12:01I put it in like on the 15th.
- 1:12:04a day late.
- 1:12:06Yeah.
- 1:12:06I almost feel like that
- 1:12:07should have counted,
- 1:12:08but maybe he had already
- 1:12:09pulled the scores in.
- 1:12:11So hopefully next month,
- 1:12:12like we'll have gone
- 1:12:13through the open and
- 1:12:14hopefully everyone gets
- 1:12:15their sign on time and we
- 1:12:16get some like more thought out responses.
- 1:12:19I just, you could tell this was kind of a,
- 1:12:22I'm just submitting and moving on.
- 1:12:25Yeah.
- 1:12:25So I thought that's.
- 1:12:29Before we get to the heat one,
- 1:12:31Our girl, Kelly Baker, friend of the show.
- 1:12:35We followed her all last
- 1:12:36season through the ups and
- 1:12:39downs of everything has announced.
- 1:12:42And I actually have her Instagram up.
- 1:12:43So let me share that real
- 1:12:45quick that she is not
- 1:12:46competing in the 2024 season.
- 1:12:51And she did it in this post right here.
- 1:12:57After many prayers and
- 1:12:58conversations with my people,
- 1:12:59I've decided I'm going to
- 1:13:00sit this one out.
- 1:13:02Emotionally, this was not an easy choice,
- 1:13:05but at the same time,
- 1:13:06I'm very at peace with my decision.
- 1:13:09And this quote tells you
- 1:13:11everything you need to know
- 1:13:12about Kelly Baker.
- 1:13:14Just because you are good at
- 1:13:15something does not mean you
- 1:13:16have to do it.
- 1:13:19We interviewed her years ago.
- 1:13:21She was one of the first 30
- 1:13:23people we interviewed.
- 1:13:25She told us then she was
- 1:13:28getting better at CrossFit,
- 1:13:30but I want to run a marathon.
- 1:13:31I want to see if I can do it.
- 1:13:33She would do it.
- 1:13:34Then she would do, I want to do this.
- 1:13:36I think she has so many wants and
- 1:13:43things that she wants to
- 1:13:44accomplish in her life,
- 1:13:46that CrossFit is just one
- 1:13:47little small component of that.
- 1:13:49And she is fine moving on to
- 1:13:51try to have a family.
- 1:13:54And the doctors have told
- 1:13:57her the stress of a game season is
- 1:13:59would not help her with having a family.
- 1:14:02So they made the decision to
- 1:14:04sit this one out,
- 1:14:05to have a better shot at
- 1:14:07conceiving a child and starting a family.
- 1:14:10And with that,
- 1:14:11I sent her a text this afternoon,
- 1:14:13wishing her well,
- 1:14:14telling her I will miss her,
- 1:14:16but I cannot be mad at her
- 1:14:19for wanting to start a family.
- 1:14:20It's the coolest thing in the world.
- 1:14:23And I'm sending all my love.
- 1:14:25And she texted back that big thanks.
- 1:14:28And she'll miss everybody too.
- 1:14:30But you got to do what you got.
- 1:14:34You have to.
- 1:14:35I mean,
- 1:14:38it's good to hear that she's at
- 1:14:40peace with it.
- 1:14:40And you're right.
- 1:14:41She's got...
- 1:14:43she's smart enough to know
- 1:14:44that crossfit is a blip of
- 1:14:47her life and if starting a
- 1:14:50family is important to her
- 1:14:51she needs to run with that
- 1:14:52and she needs to put her
- 1:14:53efforts there I'm excited
- 1:14:55for them yeah so the final
- 1:14:58thing and then we'll get
- 1:14:59out of here for tonight is
- 1:15:03heat one has come up not
- 1:15:05only can you play on the app
- 1:15:08They have some new open
- 1:15:10games that basically you just go in,
- 1:15:13you pick announcement winners.
- 1:15:16Then they have this bracket
- 1:15:17that you can play tier by
- 1:15:21tier on the app.
- 1:15:22But you can't play the whole
- 1:15:24bracket unless you print it
- 1:15:25out and actually write it all in.
- 1:15:29So the Barbell Spin guys did
- 1:15:32this live on their show last night.
- 1:15:34I want to beat them.
- 1:15:37Okay.
- 1:15:37We're going to do it real
- 1:15:38quick here and I'm going to
- 1:15:40get Jamie nice picks and I
- 1:15:42will write them down because I have.
- 1:15:45We're probably going to be the same.
- 1:15:47We might have one thing different.
- 1:15:50Well,
- 1:15:50the thing about the open is like the
- 1:15:52people you think are going to win.
- 1:15:53Don't always win.
- 1:15:56yeah I hate I kind of hate
- 1:15:57this and that like you're
- 1:15:58just basically making a
- 1:16:00pick because the open it is
- 1:16:03very workout dependent for
- 1:16:05these people so like if I
- 1:16:07if we knew what the work
- 1:16:08movements were we'd be have
- 1:16:09a much better educated
- 1:16:10guest scott showing off
- 1:16:14that he has a color printer
- 1:16:15very elitist of you scott yeah um
- 1:16:20It's from an old business
- 1:16:22way back in the day.
- 1:16:24And thank God they're still inking it.
- 1:16:26All right.
- 1:16:26So bracket one is Jeffrey
- 1:16:29Adler and Jay Crouch.
- 1:16:35Gosh,
- 1:16:35I've really liked what I've seen out
- 1:16:37of Jay Crouch.
- 1:16:38I just, as much as Jeff says,
- 1:16:42he's like never peaking too early.
- 1:16:44I feel like he's always in shape,
- 1:16:46like super in shape already at this time.
- 1:16:48So I'm going to go with Jeff.
- 1:16:50All right, me, I did the same.
- 1:16:53I'm always in Adler's corner.
- 1:16:55Yeah.
- 1:16:56I've been shoved in that corner,
- 1:16:57and I'm staying there until
- 1:16:59he lets me down.
- 1:17:02All right.
- 1:17:04Krennikoff, Fikowski.
- 1:17:16I think I'm going to pick Fikowski.
- 1:17:19Wow.
- 1:17:19Wow.
- 1:17:21I just would,
- 1:17:22I just would like to see him win.
- 1:17:24So that's where I'm going to go.
- 1:17:24I'm hoping it's something
- 1:17:26chipper-y that Brent can
- 1:17:27take his mental gymnastics and win it.
- 1:17:32So I can't, I have,
- 1:17:32so I'm going with Roman.
- 1:17:33Okay.
- 1:17:35Ricky Gerard, Dallin Pepper.
- 1:17:36I'm going to go with Ricky.
- 1:17:41Ricky.
- 1:17:45Yeah.
- 1:17:45For an open type,
- 1:17:47I got to go Ricky as much
- 1:17:48as I want to go Dallin.
- 1:17:50Yeah.
- 1:17:51Um, final bracket, Vellner Yona Koski.
- 1:18:00All right.
- 1:18:03I'm going Koski.
- 1:18:06Ooh, better on the open.
- 1:18:10So then we get to the other,
- 1:18:12let's finish this side of the bracket.
- 1:18:13So Adler,
- 1:18:14the second round Adler and
- 1:18:17Fikowski for you.
- 1:18:19Adler.
- 1:18:23I'm between Adler and Roman and Adler.
- 1:18:29Ricky and Vellner.
- 1:18:32Dang.
- 1:18:33I'm going to go with Ricky.
- 1:18:35I think Ricky might be
- 1:18:36better suited for the open.
- 1:18:37And then Ricky and Adler.
- 1:18:42I'm going to go with Jeff.
- 1:18:47All right.
- 1:18:49I am going to go
- 1:18:53Ricky over Koski and Ricky to win.
- 1:18:58Okay.
- 1:18:58Adler.
- 1:19:00Okay.
- 1:19:01Then on the female side,
- 1:19:04I wish this would have print landscape.
- 1:19:06I guess to do that, uh, Horvat carry.
- 1:19:14Man, that is such a tough one.
- 1:19:18Cause
- 1:19:21And this is for, is this for 0.1?
- 1:19:23Yep.
- 1:19:25Yes.
- 1:19:27I think I'm going to go with
- 1:19:28Carrie because I think it's
- 1:19:29going to be so basic that
- 1:19:30it's about how bad you want to hurt.
- 1:19:31And she will go black.
- 1:19:33She'll go dark.
- 1:19:34Same.
- 1:19:37Um, Emma Lawson and Gabby McGowan.
- 1:19:46I'm going to take Emma.
- 1:19:53Same.
- 1:19:55I'm the Emma bracket.
- 1:19:59Yeah.
- 1:20:01Then we have Gazan and Ariel.
- 1:20:07Okay, I'll take a Xanx.
- 1:20:11I'm betting you're gonna take Ariel.
- 1:20:14I am.
- 1:20:16Okay, I'll take his answer.
- 1:20:17We have something.
- 1:20:19Then we have Tia and wrap this.
- 1:20:23I'm going to take Tia.
- 1:20:24I'm going to take Raptus.
- 1:20:31All right.
- 1:20:32Look at you.
- 1:20:33All right.
- 1:20:36So Carrie Lawson.
- 1:20:40Oh, man.
- 1:20:41I think I want to go with Lawson.
- 1:20:47I'm hoping maybe there's
- 1:20:47some more skill in two that
- 1:20:49gives Lawson the edge.
- 1:20:53All right, I'll go carry.
- 1:20:59You have Kazan, Tia.
- 1:21:04Tia.
- 1:21:08I have Ariel and Raptus.
- 1:21:10I am going Ariel.
- 1:21:11Okay.
- 1:21:15And then you have Lawson, Tia.
- 1:21:20I'm going to go Tia.
- 1:21:21Tia to win.
- 1:21:22Boring.
- 1:21:22Boring.
- 1:21:24I know.
- 1:21:25And I have Carrie and Ariel.
- 1:21:30Emma, right?
- 1:21:31Who are you picking?
- 1:21:32Emma Carrie and Ariel Lowen.
- 1:21:34Yeah.
- 1:21:34Took Ariel.
- 1:21:37Oh, wow.
- 1:21:39Didn't Ariel finish like
- 1:21:41third in the open last year?
- 1:21:43I think she did really good.
- 1:21:45And she, yeah.
- 1:21:45Yeah.
- 1:21:47Yeah, there's facts up here.
- 1:21:50I'm not just throwing shit out.
- 1:21:53Yeah.
- 1:21:53She's, she's,
- 1:21:55she's good at open pain cave person.
- 1:21:59I'm taking her as far.
- 1:22:01And then Ariel,
- 1:22:02when that last week of skillset,
- 1:22:04I think she finally gets her.
- 1:22:06And again,
- 1:22:07Ariel was top five in the open
- 1:22:09last year for sure.
- 1:22:10I think it was third.
- 1:22:13Um, so that's why I'm taking her.
- 1:22:20So cool.
