  crazy cj is i started this podcast in
• 1:05
  two thousand nineteen
• 1:07
  So it's been like we're in year seven
• 1:10
  of this thing.
• 1:11
  And we didn't count them all at the
• 1:13
  beginning.
• 1:15
  So that's not all of them.
• 1:18
  Like when we did the semifinal interviews,
• 1:20
  we didn't number those.
• 1:21
  And we did over a hundred the first
• 1:23
  year.
• 1:24
  So we've been around a while and yeah,
• 1:29
  I keep contemplating whether taking the
• 1:31
  episode number off or not.
• 1:33
  Cause it's,
• 1:33
  it is kind of getting up there,
• 1:35
  but it's kind of like a badge of
• 1:37
  honor to leave it.
• 1:39
  So, yeah.
• 1:42
  So there's that one, uh, Kenneth,
• 1:46
  the original and always Sunday night
• 1:48
  CrossFit talk.
• 1:51
  Craig says, hell yes, Scott's back.
• 1:53
  I am,
• 1:53
  and I'm so glad to be back.
• 1:54
  It was a rough week.
• 1:56
  And we'll get into that in a little
• 1:57
  bit.
• 2:02
  It's not lunchtime, Kenneth.
• 2:03
  It's not.
• 2:05
  And guess whose birthday it is today?
• 2:08
  Vicky's.
• 2:09
  Really?
• 2:10
  Happy birthday.
• 2:11
  Happy birthday, Vicky.
• 2:17
  Trish, he is indeed.
• 2:24
  Yes, happy Easter, everyone.
• 2:25
  Yeah, happy Easter, everyone.
• 2:25
  Do you guys do anything special for
• 2:26
  Easter?
• 2:27
  I know, Carolyn,
• 2:28
  you're not in your normal hot spot.
• 2:32
  I went home to go visit my family
• 2:34
  left Thursday after school because we have
• 2:36
  Friday and Monday off from work.
• 2:39
  So been in Sarnia,
• 2:41
  which is my hometown and visiting my whole
• 2:43
  family.
• 2:44
  So all my sisters were down.
• 2:46
  So I got to see everyone,
• 2:47
  all my nephews, nieces.
• 2:48
  So good visit.
• 2:50
  I'll leave tomorrow at some point to go
• 2:52
  back to Toronto.
• 2:53
  Jamie, do you know anything?
• 2:56
  We went to brunch this morning.
• 2:58
  Um, same place we went last year.
• 3:00
  It's okay.
• 3:00
  It's not the greatest brunch,
• 3:02
  but nobody had to cook,
• 3:04
  got to spend time with family.
• 3:07
  It's nice.
• 3:09
  We went to my nephew's.
• 3:11
  My mom came in Wednesday and she's been
• 3:14
  here all weekend taking care of me, which,
• 3:18
  you know,
• 3:18
  you don't realize how much moms are
• 3:21
  comforting in your times of stress and
• 3:23
  everything.
• 3:25
  And it really felt good to have mom
• 3:26
  here.
• 3:27
  Yeah.
• 3:29
  just to talk to,
• 3:30
  just to kind of because Julie went back
• 3:32
  to work Thursday.
• 3:33
  And so I would have been here all
• 3:34
  by myself and she was here kind of
• 3:37
  taking care of me, which was nice.
• 3:39
  And then we went to my nephew's this
• 3:41
  morning for brunch.
• 3:43
  It was essentially lunch by Costco.
• 3:45
  Cause he has a newborn baby.
• 3:47
  I had this procedure.
• 3:49
  Um, and so we,
• 3:51
  he got some quiches and we basically just
• 3:54
  sat around and talked and had some quiche
• 3:57
  and that was a Easter brunch for us.
• 4:01
  I'm a huge deviled egg fan.
• 4:04
  Like what's like my favorite thing.
• 4:06
  You're speaking my language now.
• 4:07
  Yeah.
• 4:09
  The deviled eggs at brunch this morning
• 4:11
  were, I don't even know.
• 4:12
  I don't know if there was like jalapenos
• 4:14
  chopped up in them or it was like
• 4:15
  cayenne pepper on them or what.
• 4:17
  I'm not a spicy fan at all.
• 4:19
  And just don't mess with deviled eggs.
• 4:21
  Like they're perfect.
• 4:22
  I was like,
• 4:23
  I ate one and I was like,
• 4:24
  what is this?
• 4:25
  Gross.
• 4:26
  Gross.
• 4:27
  Yeah, Julie makes the best deviled eggs.
• 4:31
  And I know it sounds like such a
• 4:33
  simple thing,
• 4:34
  but when other people make them,
• 4:35
  and I'm like,
• 4:36
  they do not taste as good as hers.
• 4:38
  Yeah.
• 4:40
  And she made them this morning for this.
• 4:42
  And it was, gosh.
• 4:45
  The problem is, like,
• 4:46
  I could literally eat a dozen.
• 4:50
  so i really really i only had two
• 4:53
  and how i even can constrained myself to
• 4:56
  that i don't know but oh i just
• 4:58
  love them so much um trish says jamie
• 5:05
  you don't look like a spicy food person
• 5:07
  there must have been something crazy hot
• 5:09
  on there like mayonnaise
• 5:11
  Well,
• 5:12
  what's weird is I really don't like yellow
• 5:14
  mustard, like at all.
• 5:16
  But I like double eggs,
• 5:17
  and I know that gets put in double
• 5:19
  eggs.
• 5:19
  So I like mayonnaise just fine.
• 5:23
  Yeah.
• 5:26
  I'll get to my health after the next
• 5:28
  thing.
• 5:29
  We also had the tournament this weekend.
• 5:31
  The women's finished up,
• 5:33
  and we actually have a champion in the
• 5:36
  Clydesdale tournament.
• 5:38
  media bracket challenge.
• 5:42
  And I'm going to pull up that the
• 5:44
  winner of the win yesterday or a couple
• 5:47
  of days ago.
• 5:48
  We were, yeah, we were tied for.
• 5:50
  Yeah, I know.
• 5:51
  I thought I was going to get it.
• 5:54
  So I had a chance to win this
• 5:56
  going into today's game.
• 5:58
  Cause I was the only person to pick
• 5:59
  South Carolina.
• 6:01
  And that it was so close from top
• 6:03
  to bottom that would have propelled me to
• 6:05
  the lead.
• 6:07
  But ends up that Blair Lettingham is our
• 6:11
  champion of the women's division.
• 6:14
  And I already have her trophy ordered and
• 6:18
  the inscription written out and in the
• 6:20
  cart.
• 6:21
  I'm just waiting for the men's tournament
• 6:23
  to finish because she's either going to
• 6:25
  win that one too,
• 6:28
  or we're going to have a tie for
• 6:30
  the lead between her and Vickie.
• 6:33
  wow is there a tiebreaker with like what
• 6:35
  you predicted as the final score i think
• 6:39
  there is i think the score is the
• 6:41
  tiebreaker yeah yeah so there should be a
• 6:43
  tiebreaker i don't think i don't uh
• 6:47
  there's blair uh if only my quarter and
• 6:49
  open final went this well but for the
• 6:53
  same person to be leading both brackets
• 6:58
  This late in the game, Blair,
• 7:00
  you killed it.
• 7:01
  Yes.
• 7:02
  Killed it.
• 7:04
  So she picked UCLA the winner.
• 7:07
  She ended up with fourteen hundred and
• 7:09
  seventy points,
• 7:11
  a fifty point lead over David Erskine.
• 7:15
  So that is the women's.
• 7:16
  Carolyn took third bronze medal.
• 7:19
  I tied her.
• 7:20
  We get the same.
• 7:23
  Yeah,
• 7:23
  but apparently she won the tiebreaker.
• 7:25
  She's on top of you.
• 7:28
  She's a C and I'm a J.
• 7:29
  That's the only reason.
• 7:31
  Three and three.
• 7:32
  No, I don't know.
• 7:33
  I don't think so.
• 7:34
  It's alphabetical.
• 7:35
  All right.
• 7:36
  And then on the men's side,
• 7:38
  we'll show that.
• 7:39
  What a disaster that thing was.
• 7:42
  I think I should just retire from brackets
• 7:44
  altogether.
• 7:46
  Here's the men's.
• 7:52
  In this one,
• 7:52
  we have Blair again at the top,
• 7:54
  and she has Michigan, who is still alive.
• 7:59
  And nobody else has anybody alive.
• 8:03
  So she is it.
• 8:04
  Nobody picked UConn, so we are.
• 8:08
  And then Vicky is tied for first currently
• 8:12
  and just waiting on the tie break tomorrow
• 8:14
  night.
• 8:16
  And Eric Mackey is in third.
• 8:20
  You have to go down a long time
• 8:23
  before you get the three of us.
• 8:27
  So that's where we stand on the bracket
• 8:30
  challenges.
• 8:32
  So I do have one in my cart
• 8:34
  with Blair's name on it for the men's,
• 8:36
  but I may have to change that,
• 8:37
  take that out,
• 8:38
  put another one in with Vicky's name on
• 8:40
  it.
• 8:42
  And so one of the two of them
• 8:44
  will win the men's tournament tomorrow
• 8:45
  night.
• 8:49
  So that was fun.
• 8:51
  It was fun checking the leaderboard every
• 8:53
  day until all of my teams were eliminated
• 8:55
  on the men's side.
• 8:57
  Pretty soon.
• 8:58
  I was able to just stop checking.
• 9:05
  Um, oh, I was calling Blair.
• 9:08
  She, uh, Blair is an,
• 9:10
  is a fifty-year-old dude with a big old
• 9:12
  beard.
• 9:12
  I wondered when you said she,
• 9:13
  I was like, oh,
• 9:14
  you must know who this person is.
• 9:15
  Cause I would have assumed it was a
• 9:17
  male.
• 9:18
  Same here.
• 9:20
  Yeah, so there it is.
• 9:25
  My bad.
• 9:26
  Sorry, Blair.
• 9:27
  You still get the trophy.
• 9:31
  You got at least one coming.
• 9:33
  You may have two.
• 9:35
  Probably two.
• 9:37
  Probably.
• 9:38
  Well, if Michigan loses,
• 9:39
  it comes down to the score.
• 9:40
  Yeah.
• 9:41
  Oh, okay.
• 9:44
  So if Michigan wins, Blair wins outright.
• 9:47
  If Michigan loses,
• 9:49
  then they'll stay tied and it will come
• 9:51
  down to who has the right score.
• 9:53
  Blair, are you from Michigan?
• 10:01
  So, okay.
• 10:02
  I'm going to close those out.
• 10:04
  So the next thing is my health.
• 10:08
  It's all good.
• 10:09
  Thank you, Blair.
• 10:11
  The next thing is my health.
• 10:13
  So Wednesday I had the procedure.
• 10:14
  Thank you.
• 10:15
  So many people reached out.
• 10:17
  Love you all.
• 10:18
  It meant the world to me.
• 10:20
  I spent eleven hours in the hospital on
• 10:22
  Wednesday.
• 10:23
  The actual heart ablation procedure went
• 10:27
  well.
• 10:30
  They got what they think they needed to
• 10:31
  get.
• 10:33
  They tried to put my heart back into
• 10:34
  rhythm,
• 10:35
  which is what the ablation is to stop
• 10:39
  it from going out of rhythm.
• 10:42
  And they could not get it back in
• 10:44
  after seven shocks.
• 10:48
  And then when they moved me up to
• 10:50
  recovery, at first I couldn't breathe.
• 10:53
  I was kind of panicking.
• 10:55
  And then my heart rate spiked to like
• 10:58
  one thirty one forty resting.
• 11:01
  And so they kept me in the hospital.
• 11:04
  They switched some meds I was on and
• 11:07
  the heart rate came down to like one
• 11:10
  hundred, one ten.
• 11:13
  And they let me go home with new
• 11:15
  prescriptions.
• 11:17
  Since Friday,
• 11:18
  I've been in the normal range on my
• 11:20
  heart rate resting in the seventy range.
• 11:25
  So all of that is starting to work
• 11:26
  better.
• 11:27
  I had an EKG on Friday.
• 11:30
  I get the results of that tomorrow to
• 11:32
  find out if some of the medicine they
• 11:35
  gave me helped it go back into rhythm
• 11:36
  on its own or if they need to
• 11:39
  do a second attempt at getting it back
• 11:42
  into rhythm.
• 11:44
  But I'm telling you, it knocked me out.
• 11:46
  I think it's more the anesthesia than the
• 11:48
  procedures.
• 11:52
  And
• 11:54
  It's getting worse and worse with every
• 11:56
  procedure coming out of it.
• 11:59
  And so I didn't feel even close to
• 12:01
  normal until today.
• 12:04
  um and but i'm here and i'm doing
• 12:07
  well and i think tomorrow each day is
• 12:09
  getting way way better and so i think
• 12:11
  i'll be good tomorrow but they were saying
• 12:14
  they could get me in by the end
• 12:16
  of next this coming week to do it
• 12:18
  a second time i don't i don't think
• 12:20
  my i can i don't think i can
• 12:21
  take that anesthetic because you have to
• 12:24
  be put under to be shocked yeah i
• 12:27
  think i need a couple weeks to just
• 12:30
  recover a little bit before i go under
• 12:32
  anesthetic again
• 12:33
  And if I saw Shannon commented earlier,
• 12:36
  she may know more than me.
• 12:37
  I'm not a doctor.
• 12:38
  I'm just trying to figure this shit out.
• 12:42
  Yeah.
• 12:42
  They don't want to like retry the same
• 12:44
  thing.
• 12:45
  They're going to.
• 12:46
  So they're,
• 12:47
  they tried to shock it back in.
• 12:49
  The next attempt will be two
• 12:51
  defibrillators hooked up at the same time,
• 12:53
  hitting them both at the same time.
• 12:55
  So double the current.
• 12:56
  Okay.
• 13:05
  You have had a lot of anesthesia this
• 13:07
  year so far,
• 13:08
  and it does take a long time to
• 13:09
  recover with lots of anesthesia.
• 13:11
  So at least that makes sense.
• 13:14
  Yeah.
• 13:15
  Because each procedure,
• 13:16
  it is getting harder and harder to
• 13:18
  recover.
• 13:23
  Can you take the fancy Michael Jackson
• 13:25
  drugs for people who react to anesthesia?
• 13:28
  I don't know, man.
• 13:31
  I don't know.
• 13:32
  I'm at out-of-pocket maximum with all the
• 13:33
  stuff I've had done this year.
• 13:35
  So bring on all the stuff.
• 13:36
  Give me the good stuff.
• 13:38
  Because I don't have to pay for any
• 13:39
  of it.
• 13:43
  But that's where we're at.
• 13:46
  This week, the schedule will be cool here.
• 13:49
  I'm just going to do the show every...
• 13:54
  The surgeon said,
• 13:55
  let's open this effing heart.
• 13:57
  I hope not.
• 13:59
  I hope not.
• 14:01
  Because they did,
• 14:01
  they had to go up through the groin
• 14:03
  to get into my heart.
• 14:05
  And the incision at the groin,
• 14:06
  it was not comfortable for the last couple
• 14:08
  days.
• 14:10
  Even though they say they're small,
• 14:13
  they're still sore, and they still pull.
• 14:16
  And yeah, the first day,
• 14:20
  the going to the bathroom was just hard.
• 14:25
  So
• 14:30
  Uh, Larry says, I just,
• 14:31
  I usually just propofol stun people for
• 14:34
  cardio versions,
• 14:35
  but never have I done seven on a
• 14:38
  patient.
• 14:40
  Yeah.
• 14:41
  I think they try propofol too.
• 14:43
  Wow.
• 14:48
  Uh, shocking.
• 14:48
  The body takes a lot out of your
• 14:50
  body as well.
• 14:51
  You had seven shocks,
• 14:52
  like seven tasers on full blast.
• 14:56
  Yeah, I was, I was sore.
• 14:58
  So sore.
• 15:03
  Yeah.
• 15:03
  That makes sense.
• 15:06
  So,
• 15:07
  so thank you for all the thoughts and
• 15:08
  prayers and all the people that reached
• 15:10
  out.
• 15:12
  I'm actually feeling really good today.
• 15:14
  Like I'm actually hopeful that maybe the
• 15:16
  EKG is saying that it may have slipped
• 15:18
  into rhythm and we're good.
• 15:20
  And you find that out tomorrow.
• 15:25
  So I just feel a tiny bit weak
• 15:27
  today.
• 15:30
  But we'll find out more tomorrow.
• 15:34
  Are you sleeping through the night?
• 15:37
  Uh, no, no, no,
• 15:39
  not even third Z has helped this thing.
• 15:43
  Um, but it can help you.
• 15:45
  It helped me like the week after.
• 15:49
  Probably this week,
• 15:50
  if you're taking it every night,
• 15:51
  I think you might notice some.
• 15:53
  Again,
• 15:54
  I feel like you're further along on these
• 15:57
  multiple anesthesias,
• 15:58
  so you might need a little longer.
• 16:00
  This is an extreme case that I don't
• 16:02
  even think Thirdsy is equipped for.
• 16:05
  But you can get it for fifteen percent
• 16:07
  off with code Jazzy at checkout.
• 16:11
  Thirdsy.com backslash Jazzy or Jazzy at
• 16:14
  checkout.
• 16:19
  Um, she says, geez,
• 16:21
  the tech knows the minute the cage is
• 16:23
  printed, what the rhythm is.
• 16:25
  She's not allowed to tell me though.
• 16:26
  And that is the rule.
• 16:28
  It can't be told except for by the
• 16:33
  doctor or the nurse practitioner under
• 16:35
  this doctor.
• 16:37
  And they were off for good Friday.
• 16:39
  Yeah.
• 16:39
  I hate that.
• 16:40
  Do you get off tomorrow for work?
• 16:47
  No, no, I'm back to work tomorrow.
• 16:52
  Um, so yeah.
• 16:55
  All right.
• 16:56
  So let's get into the CrossFit stuff.
• 16:59
  And that is, we, we just finished up.
• 17:01
  Oh, I forgot to read.
• 17:03
  There was,
• 17:03
  I need to go back and grab that.
• 17:07
  Uh, Daniel Arnson,

• 17:10
  Thank you so much.
• 17:11
  That is great.
• 17:12
  He is in Columbus.
• 17:14
  I don't know why the pukey green faces.
• 17:18
  What's wrong with Columbus?
• 17:21
  Well, he did say go blue earlier, so,
• 17:24
  oh, oh, and no,
• 17:27
  I will not say that.
• 17:29
  Look, I'm not, I'm not a Buckeye.
• 17:34
  Yeah, you're not.
• 17:35
  I agree.
• 17:37
  And I can, I can tolerate it here.
• 17:41
  Um, so the roads are bad.
• 17:43
  I bet they're nowhere near as bad as
• 17:45
  the roads of Michigan.
• 17:46
  The roads are terrible here, but I'm,
• 17:48
  but I've been to Michigan and they're,
• 17:49
  they're gone.
• 17:50
  Terrible.
• 17:52
  Coming to your house.
• 17:54
  Like I have to check every,
• 17:55
  like all of my suspension and.
• 17:58
  They are quite a bit worse than when
• 18:02
  you were here.
• 18:03
  It's bad.
• 18:11
  Yes.
• 18:11
  Cross fat.
• 18:12
  Imagine having to tell all your fans how
• 18:14
  to spell.
• 18:16
  yeah yeah we don't have a p-e-n-s-t-a-t-e
• 18:22
  it's it's just we are because we know
• 18:24
  we are we don't spell it out um
• 18:32
  all right quarterfinals you two finished
• 18:34
  you both did i think exceeded expected
• 18:37
  expectations
• 18:39
  Well, Carolyn,
• 18:41
  after winning the Open and Semis last year
• 18:43
  in her age group and doing so well
• 18:45
  in the Elite Division,
• 18:47
  did you exceed your expectations?
• 18:49
  Because you won again.
• 18:51
  You won quarters.
• 18:58
  Somewhat, I guess.
• 18:59
  I was content with it.
• 19:01
  Content, I'll say.
• 19:03
  What's that?
• 19:05
  You're on the first page in the world.
• 19:07
  Yeah.
• 19:09
  Yeah,
• 19:10
  I wanted to redo the handstand push-up
• 19:12
  one.
• 19:14
  Like, definitely.
• 19:15
  And there's a couple other ones that I
• 19:17
  even wanted to redo for... Like,
• 19:19
  I just felt like I finished them and
• 19:21
  I didn't pace it well.
• 19:22
  Like, a lot of... Like, number one,
• 19:24
  even though I got, I think, like,
• 19:26
  seventeenth or eighteenth on that one,
• 19:28
  I felt like that should have been a
• 19:29
  much better one for me.
• 19:31
  Like, I was... Like,
• 19:33
  I looked at a lot of the girls
• 19:34
  that were...
• 19:36
  ahead of me and they were like two
• 19:37
  twenty five ish on the first part.
• 19:40
  And I was like two forty five,
• 19:41
  I think, on the first part.
• 19:43
  So I paced it too much.
• 19:45
  And then the second part was like
• 19:47
  significantly faster.
• 19:49
  So I would have liked to have just
• 19:51
  pushed that one a little bit more from
• 19:53
  the get go and just kind of go
• 19:54
  all out and just see what happens,
• 19:56
  because I thought that should have been a
• 19:57
  better one for me.
• 19:58
  I mean, it was still good.
• 20:00
  And then the bar muscle up one I
• 20:02
  wanted to
• 20:03
  with like a more aggressive strategy
• 20:05
  because I finished like with no issue
• 20:09
  there.
• 20:11
  And I felt like too good the whole
• 20:13
  way.
• 20:15
  But the one that really killed me was
• 20:16
  the strict handstand pushup.
• 20:19
  It's not like I'm not very good at
• 20:20
  those.
• 20:21
  So I want it to be a little
• 20:23
  bit more.
• 20:23
  If I were if I would have redone,
• 20:25
  I would have wanted to have been more
• 20:26
  aggressive on the row and singles on the
• 20:30
  clean and jerk to begin with so that
• 20:32
  I could just buy myself time at the
• 20:34
  wall for the strict handstand pushups.
• 20:36
  So since quarterfinals,
• 20:38
  I've done strict handstand pushups every
• 20:41
  training day.
• 20:41
  I'm just going to accumulate a certain
• 20:43
  amount of volume.
• 20:47
  Every day.
• 20:47
  Just go upside down.
• 20:50
  Before we jump to Jamie, Shelly,
• 20:54
  if you qualified for semis,
• 20:56
  you deserve to go.
• 20:57
  And it doesn't matter what you think your
• 20:59
  fitness is.
• 21:00
  The numbers tell you you can go.
• 21:02
  I mean, Larry, she's got to do semis.
• 21:05
  It's bound to be heavy at this point.
• 21:07
  So it's right up her alley.
• 21:09
  It's going to have everything she wants.
• 21:10
  So just do it.
• 21:13
  CrossFit says Carolyn's bride prioritizing
• 21:16
  her Xenon chances.
• 21:19
  What's Xenon chances?
• 21:20
  What does that mean?
• 21:22
  I think he's saying that you're going to
• 21:23
  go to Xenon and win.
• 21:27
  Oh, no, no, no chance.
• 21:31
  But my hamstring does feel better after
• 21:33
  last weekend.
• 21:34
  So I'm happy that I'm able to do
• 21:36
  things because the reason I didn't redo
• 21:38
  any,
• 21:39
  and normally I do like to redo and
• 21:40
  do better, was because on the very,
• 21:43
  very last workout, four reps to go,
• 21:46
  I felt my hamstring kind of do a
• 21:48
  little bit of a...
• 21:50
  pop small pop um so i lifted for
• 21:53
  the first time this weekend and was like
• 21:56
  cautious but there's some movements that i
• 21:58
  can still feel it but i'm happy that
• 22:00
  i'm i'm good to go still because i
• 22:03
  was very nervous last weekend that i did
• 22:05
  something and i'm like oh no like it's
• 22:08
  going to be recovery until the semifinals
• 22:11
  but i'll be good i'll be good uh
• 22:14
  cross that says it was just a joke
• 22:16
  but i think we're having a little internet
• 22:18
  lag too which may have contributed to
• 22:23
  that um and how did i not expect
• 22:28
  this answer from larry i'm never banking
• 22:30
  on it being heavy it won't be heavy
• 22:32
  enough it's not gonna be four four lifts
• 22:35
  i tell you that much yeah i just
• 22:38
  watched just go to powerlifting instagram
• 22:41
  post this weekend and like a bad day
• 22:44
  is when he's got four hundred on a
• 22:46
  bench and whatever you know like come on
• 22:53
  It definitely makes me think like,
• 22:55
  what is semifinals going to look like?
• 22:57
  I know because I,
• 23:00
  it's going to be heavy, very skillful.
• 23:03
  I think, um,
• 23:07
  I just hope that they still have a
• 23:11
  certain test that's not heavy and just
• 23:15
  kind of engine,
• 23:16
  kind of like an open slash quarterfinal of
• 23:18
  these workouts,
• 23:19
  just because the score starts back up at
• 23:20
  zero.
• 23:21
  So you don't want all the workouts then
• 23:22
  in the semifinals to have bottlenecks of a
• 23:25
  skill or just a strength,
• 23:27
  because I think that the heavy breathing
• 23:30
  is important as well.
• 23:32
  CJ says he knows a guy that can
• 23:34
  help with that hamstring.
• 23:36
  hamstring or my handstand push-ups your
• 23:39
  hamstring well both yeah yeah you can
• 23:42
  probably help with both i know that's what
• 23:44
  i said um and then crossfit says larry
• 23:50
  just changed his avatar to a thirst trap
• 23:55
  so jamie so jamie what how did you
• 23:59
  feel quarters went for you
• 24:01
  Because when we talked last fall,
• 24:04
  you weren't going to compete at all this
• 24:07
  year.
• 24:07
  Well, I wasn't not going to compete.
• 24:09
  I think it was always,
• 24:10
  I'll do the open and see how my
• 24:13
  hip is feeling and then see what the
• 24:14
  workouts are for quarterfinals.
• 24:16
  And if there's...
• 24:18
  like basically just hope like I get better
• 24:21
  as the season progresses and the tests
• 24:23
  line up good enough for me to make
• 24:26
  it through each stage.
• 24:27
  Um, there was no expectations at all.
• 24:29
  I wasn't certain I'd be ready to move
• 24:33
  fast for the open.
• 24:36
  Um,
• 24:38
  I think, I mean,
• 24:38
  I think they went fine.
• 24:40
  I don't have the luxury of repeating like
• 24:43
  other people.
• 24:44
  And I get,
• 24:46
  I get quite a few people that reach
• 24:47
  out to me and ask scores and I'm
• 24:49
  pretty open and I share and then other
• 24:52
  people redo based off of my workouts.
• 24:54
  And it's,
• 24:55
  it's a little frustrating when like,
• 24:57
  I don't get that.
• 24:59
  That's what I got and that's where I'm
• 25:00
  at.
• 25:02
  I'm not going to go...
• 25:03
  I know I could have done better at
• 25:04
  some of those workouts,
• 25:05
  but I don't have that luxury.
• 25:08
  It is what it is.
• 25:10
  When you say luxury, is it the time?
• 25:12
  It's not my gym.
• 25:15
  I can't just... Yeah.
• 25:19
  You went to one that was closer, right?
• 25:20
  This time around?
• 25:21
  I did go to one that was closer,
• 25:22
  but Monday you're back to classes.
• 25:26
  Yeah.
• 25:28
  I mean,
• 25:28
  I'm not going to go ask and try
• 25:30
  to shove two workouts in as a retest
• 25:33
  on Monday.
• 25:34
  I coach on Mondays like it's just
• 25:38
  Yeah, I mean,
• 25:39
  you also knew that you did enough.
• 25:41
  That's how I felt.
• 25:42
  I was like,
• 25:43
  I want to redo really bad,
• 25:44
  but I'm good.
• 25:46
  These are fine.
• 25:48
  You knew that you did enough.
• 25:50
  Yeah,
• 25:50
  I figured I would make top four hundred.
• 25:55
  You know that you are fine.
• 25:58
  Right.
• 26:00
  It will really come down to semifinals
• 26:02
  workouts, and it always does for me.
• 26:04
  If there's one rep...
• 26:08
  Yeah,
• 26:09
  I don't think I can make it out
• 26:10
  of semifinals.
• 26:12
  Would you have enough?
• 26:14
  Where did you finish?
• 26:15
  Twentieth.
• 26:16
  Eighteenth.
• 26:18
  So you're going to have an invite to
• 26:19
  an in-person event.
• 26:20
  Now, knowing yourself,
• 26:22
  you perform better in person.
• 26:24
  Would you take a Legends or a Birmingham,
• 26:27
  was it Magic City invite in person and
• 26:30
  try to get a top three?
• 26:32
  Is it top three at both of them?
• 26:34
  I think so.
• 26:34
  It is top three.
• 26:35
  Would you take an in-person event?
• 26:39
  Knowing that, like,
• 26:42
  I find that you perform even better there.
• 26:44
  Or would you wait for the online event?
• 26:47
  And give yourself more time.
• 26:50
  Well, Magic City is...
• 26:51
  You can get invites to both.
• 26:53
  Yeah, definitely.
• 26:54
  I can't do that.
• 26:55
  That's not feasible in my budget.
• 27:04
  I don't know.
• 27:04
  I am really struggling with that.
• 27:07
  I would like to go somewhere.
• 27:10
  I don't know that I want to go...
• 27:12
  I declined my Legends invite recently.
• 27:16
  early on because I was like, once again,
• 27:18
  like I need to go through the season
• 27:20
  and stages and like make sure I even
• 27:23
  top twenty or whatever qualifies for the
• 27:25
  in person and would get an invite if
• 27:27
  I get an invite.
• 27:28
  That's one thing.
• 27:28
  But I'm not just taking it and taking
• 27:30
  and if I get a qualification spot and
• 27:33
  make it, that's one thing.
• 27:34
  But I'm not taking an invite if I
• 27:36
  don't feel like I'm ready.
• 27:39
  So I declined that early on invitation.
• 27:43
  And now it's like, I don't know.
• 27:44
  I mean,
• 27:45
  I really don't want to go to California.
• 27:49
  If I go,
• 27:50
  I just want to go the one time.
• 27:52
  Huh?
• 27:52
  So Magic City, maybe?
• 27:55
  It's a week later.
• 27:56
  Magic City is the week of semifinals.
• 27:59
  Oh.
• 28:01
  Is it the following weekend?
• 28:02
  Right.
• 28:03
  Like you finish on Sunday and you have
• 28:04
  to start semifinals on Thursday.
• 28:06
  That is probably not great for my body.
• 28:11
  So...
• 28:13
  they're apparently they're biking at magic
• 28:15
  city and there's forty two people at magic
• 28:18
  city like i feel like there's a lot
• 28:20
  of did you hear that uh grubb did
• 28:22
  a podcast with micah who's micah the guy
• 28:26
  who runs magic city yeah they're biking
• 28:28
  like outdoor bike apparently and swimming
• 28:34
  which jamie kills
• 28:35
  And swimming there?
• 28:36
  No.
• 28:37
  So he, so Grabe asked that.
• 28:39
  Go in there.
• 28:40
  Grabe asked that and he was like,
• 28:42
  you know,
• 28:42
  he said he reached out to legends and
• 28:44
  they said no swimming.
• 28:45
  Like CrossFit has said no, no,
• 28:47
  no to open water swimming.
• 28:49
  I don't think it would be fair for
• 28:50
  certain semifinals to have swimming.
• 28:51
  No offense.
• 28:54
  Yeah.
• 28:55
  If you're only going to have five events
• 28:56
  and one of them is swimming,
• 28:57
  like that's a huge advantage.
• 29:01
  Magic City for fifty four and below.
• 29:05
  But I think that's because one of them
• 29:07
  is probably the biking.
• 29:09
  When he asked about the swimming,
• 29:10
  he said CrossFit has said no to open
• 29:13
  water swimming.
• 29:14
  Nobody's allowed to do it.
• 29:17
  But he said he did bring up that
• 29:18
  they have access to a pool and they
• 29:20
  have done it.
• 29:21
  They did it in twenty twenty five.
• 29:23
  But it didn't I didn't get the impression
• 29:25
  that we're swimming like.
• 29:28
  I don't know,
• 29:28
  I just feel like all the semifinals need
• 29:30
  to swim or none of them.
• 29:31
  That's how I feel about that.
• 29:32
  Yeah, I don't think everyone has that.
• 29:36
  uh jamie talks about a recovery like fee
• 29:38
  i don't know i'm broken just kidding
• 29:39
  crushing workouts because you only did
• 29:43
  them all once you didn't announce that you
• 29:45
  were out at this like you didn't do
• 29:46
  a whole post about it and say that
• 29:48
  no i mean everyone knew i had surgery
• 29:50
  and it was us nine month to a
• 29:53
  year recovery and i mean i fortunately i
• 29:59
  I don't know.
• 29:59
  I just like at six months,
• 30:00
  I'm like decent.
• 30:01
  I'm like,
• 30:02
  I don't think I'm a hundred percent,
• 30:03
  but it, it is what it is.
• 30:04
  And that's, what's scary.
• 30:05
  Like, I don't think I'm a hundred, like,
• 30:07
  I know I'm not a hundred percent and
• 30:09
  my shoulder is worse than ever.
• 30:11
  So like, I'm actually like regressing.
• 30:13
  Um,
• 30:15
  my hip feels better and my shoulder feels
• 30:16
  worse.
• 30:17
  Uh,
• 30:18
  so that's a little bit of a problem.
• 30:19
  And it's like,
• 30:20
  can I get top three if I'm not
• 30:22
  a hundred percent?
• 30:25
  don't know i mean i have i've been
• 30:27
  arguably i've been eighty percent for the
• 30:29
  last three years and i've managed to make
• 30:30
  it to the games and be fourth or
• 30:32
  fifth so i don't know uh thank you
• 30:36
  larry for the two ninety nine super
• 30:39
  sticker and uh that sticker is i i
• 30:43
  don't know what it is it's a shirtless
• 30:45
  man no that's the that's his like his
• 30:52
  new
• 30:55
  it's like a Holocaust patient.
• 30:57
  He's like incredibly bony.
• 31:04
  Mark Phillips says only five events.
• 31:05
  I hate five events.
• 31:08
  For the online semifinals or in person?
• 31:10
  I don't know.
• 31:11
  Well, I think Del Mar's only five events,
• 31:13
  isn't it?
• 31:14
  Is it?
• 31:14
  I don't know.
• 31:17
  That's a good question.
• 31:19
  But Micah did say there's six events for
• 31:22
  everyone under fifty-five.
• 31:33
  That's Larry in high school in the
• 31:35
  thirties.
• 31:43
  So the weekend after Magic City is the
• 31:45
  online.
• 31:46
  It's literally four days later.
• 31:48
  You have to start.
• 31:49
  You finish on Sunday.
• 31:50
  On Thursday,
• 31:50
  you got to start in affiliate semis.
• 31:53
  I don't know how I would travel.
• 31:54
  I need to get my spot at Legends.
• 32:05
  Did you hear somebody's hurt?
• 32:07
  Someone is hurt.
• 32:09
  I did not.
• 32:11
  I have been on the couch for four
• 32:14
  days, five days, CJ.
• 32:18
  That's about all I've done.
• 32:20
  Who's hurt, CJ?
• 32:27
  Besides me.
• 32:28
  Yeah.
• 32:34
  Oh, he was talking about me.
• 32:37
  That's what I figured.
• 32:37
  Oh, okay.
• 32:37
  All right.
• 32:38
  So then we have the worldwide leaderboard.
• 32:42
  And I was shocked.
• 32:44
  I was shocked when I looked at the
• 32:46
  top.
• 32:46
  So I just want to get your reaction
• 32:48
  since you,
• 32:48
  we've not been on the air since these
• 32:50
  went final.
• 32:51
  And there we go.
• 32:58
  So this is the men's side.
• 33:00
  We have Jay Crouch, Austin Hatfield,
• 33:02
  Jeff Adler, Saxon Pancheck,
• 33:03
  Spencer Pancheck, Yonikoski,
• 33:06
  Colton Mertens, Noah Olsen, Nate Ackerman,
• 33:09
  Ricky Garrard.
• 33:12
  Were you surprised at any of the top
• 33:14
  ten?
• 33:17
  I mean... Or lack thereof, who...
• 33:22
  I mean, it's all names we know.
• 33:24
  And, like, there's not a huge surprise.
• 33:28
  Like, Ackerman,
• 33:28
  I guess I wouldn't expect him in the
• 33:30
  top ten.
• 33:30
  I don't know enough about him,
• 33:31
  but I know that he's up and coming.
• 33:34
  Everyone else that's here...
• 33:37
  Does great online and does really well on
• 33:42
  those type of workouts.
• 33:44
  None of these workouts were bad for Noah.
• 33:46
  He's one of the best strict handstand
• 33:48
  pushups, one of the best at the burpees,
• 33:50
  one of the best squatters for overhead
• 33:52
  squat.
• 33:53
  What was challenging for Noah in any of
• 33:56
  these workouts?
• 33:56
  He's a great CrossFitter.
• 34:01
  That's not surprising to see him this
• 34:04
  high.
• 34:06
  He's got wheelhouse workouts that no
• 34:08
  matter what,
• 34:09
  he's going to be excellent at.
• 34:12
  I'm not that surprised with that
• 34:14
  leaderboard.
• 34:15
  So this is what I was surprised about.
• 34:17
  After watching Tudor Magda do that double
• 34:20
  under deadlift workout,
• 34:22
  I didn't think it could be done faster.
• 34:24
  For him to finish seventh,
• 34:27
  it shows that when you have a time
• 34:29
  set and you can watch someone go first,
• 34:32
  anything is possible.
• 34:34
  And...
• 34:35
  I hope and pray that this doesn't mean
• 34:39
  that people will stop broadcasting their
• 34:42
  workouts during quarters because that made
• 34:44
  the weekend so interesting.
• 34:47
  I don't want that to cause the reaction
• 34:51
  to then not post what you're doing.
• 35:00
  He did have a trip up.
• 35:01
  He could have saved probably three seconds
• 35:03
  and he would have won.
• 35:05
  Um,
• 35:06
  I, I still, and,
• 35:10
  and correct me if I'm wrong,
• 35:12
  are any of those other six videos for
• 35:14
  that workout viewable?
• 35:16
  Uh, which event was that?
• 35:19
  Three.
• 35:21
  Because Tudor's reps were very clean,
• 35:23
  and I have never seen someone jump faster
• 35:26
  than him.
• 35:27
  Tudor didn't even post his.
• 35:29
  Yeah, but it was live.
• 35:30
  You can't post them.
• 35:32
  You won't see it there, Scott.
• 35:33
  You physically cannot put in a video.
• 35:35
  There will not be a video link on
• 35:37
  anyone's score.
• 35:38
  Okay.
• 35:40
  Sorry.
• 35:42
  But I could see Colton.
• 35:43
  Colton redid that workout, right?
• 35:45
  Because he had a slower time than that
• 35:47
  at first, so he redid that.
• 35:49
  But I can see Colton beating that score.
• 35:54
  Like with a perfect execution,
• 35:56
  a little bit smaller range of motion,
• 35:57
  Colton's got a great deadlift cycling.
• 35:59
  I don't know that Colton jumps as fast
• 36:02
  as Tudor.
• 36:04
  But just like the rep speed in general.
• 36:10
  I mean... Austin,
• 36:14
  I would like to see it.
• 36:15
  Because I... I just...
• 36:20
  So many people leave their shoulders out
• 36:22
  front on the lift.
• 36:23
  Tutor did not.
• 36:24
  Correct.
• 36:25
  That's my thing.
• 36:25
  Tutor moved so well in that workout that
• 36:28
  I feel like somebody beating him is
• 36:32
  something somewhere.
• 36:33
  Yes.
• 36:33
  They are like,
• 36:35
  When it comes down,
• 36:36
  you have people like this too,
• 36:37
  like Ty Grant says on Girls Unfiltered,
• 36:41
  Ty Jenkins talked about pausing at the top
• 36:43
  of the overhead squats to make sure his
• 36:45
  reps were good.
• 36:46
  That's a difference of like fifty spots.
• 36:48
  And there are, like,
• 36:50
  if you want your reps to make sure
• 36:51
  they're good and there's no element of
• 36:54
  judgment, then you have to do it, right?
• 36:58
  Yeah.
• 37:00
  Yeah, I mean,
• 37:01
  I think that's part of this issue with
• 37:02
  this,
• 37:03
  and
• 37:05
  I said this last week.
• 37:06
  I don't think that the boys interrupted
• 37:08
  the sport any favors.
• 37:10
  I appreciate people going live,
• 37:12
  but when people are going live and it
• 37:15
  isn't great movement like Tudors was,
• 37:18
  it's doing this sport a disservice because
• 37:21
  everyone feels like they have to move that
• 37:23
  way.
• 37:24
  People that aren't elites see that that's
• 37:26
  how people move.
• 37:27
  They're like, that's all I have to do.
• 37:30
  I can deadlift like this.
• 37:31
  Perfect.
• 37:31
  That's all I'm going to do.
• 37:35
  It just sets a bad precedence.
• 37:39
  Well,
• 37:39
  let's move to the women's side because a
• 37:41
  lot of this can cover both sides.
• 37:43
  We have Kyra Milligan with the win,
• 37:45
  Ariel Lowen in second,
• 37:46
  Daniel Brandon third, Lucy Campbell,
• 37:48
  Lucy McGonigal, Paige Rogers,
• 37:50
  Miriam Von Rohr, Claudia Gluck,
• 37:53
  Andrea Silberg,
• 37:55
  and Elena Caratala in your top ten.
• 37:58
  Ask the same question.
• 37:59
  Any surprises of who's here and who's not?
• 38:06
  I mean,
• 38:06
  those are all names that like would be
• 38:10
  up there in those workouts.
• 38:12
  Like I was surprised Kyra was the overall
• 38:16
  winner by that much.
• 38:17
  But when you start looking at the
• 38:19
  workouts, you're like, no,
• 38:20
  Kyra is really good at all of these
• 38:21
  things.
• 38:22
  And like elite,
• 38:24
  elite at a lot of these things.
• 38:25
  So not like I'm not like I was
• 38:29
  surprised, but not shocked.
• 38:33
  I was shocked with Kyra.
• 38:34
  And you're right.
• 38:36
  When you take a step back and you
• 38:37
  look at the workouts,
• 38:38
  they did fit her very well.
• 38:40
  And I like Kyra.
• 38:41
  I've just never viewed her as the top
• 38:45
  of the top.
• 38:48
  But you don't have to win it.
• 38:49
  She didn't win anything.
• 38:50
  She's just the chief.
• 38:52
  I can't see.
• 38:53
  She won the quarters overall.
• 38:55
  No, no, no, but I'm saying the workouts.
• 38:57
  Like she's not like winning it.
• 38:59
  She's just consistent at every one of them
• 39:01
  and was like very, very good.
• 39:05
  Yeah, I just,
• 39:06
  every time I've talked to her,
• 39:08
  either in an interview or in person,
• 39:11
  like behind the scenes,
• 39:13
  she always is so self-deprecating in her
• 39:15
  humor.
• 39:16
  And she always talks poorly about herself,
• 39:20
  at least when I had spoken with her.
• 39:23
  And to me,
• 39:24
  that came across as a lack of confidence.
• 39:27
  I think that that has started to shift
• 39:29
  a little bit in the last year or
• 39:31
  two.
• 39:32
  Um,
• 39:32
  I think she took offense to nobody picking
• 39:35
  her at crash.
• 39:36
  I think she look like Kyra does have
• 39:40
  some home runs.
• 39:41
  It clearly like, like squat,
• 39:44
  squatting workout.
• 39:45
  She's kind of like Anika to me.
• 39:47
  Um, they're very, they are very similar.
• 39:50
  They are very similar.
• 39:52
  Squatting handstand pushups.
• 39:55
  Like they're very similar.
• 39:56
  Was Anika top ten?
• 39:58
  She wasn't far behind, I don't think.
• 39:59
  Eighteenth?
• 40:00
  Yeah, she'd be up there.
• 40:01
  She would have been someone that I thought
• 40:03
  might have been closer up there.
• 40:07
  I think Kyra knows she's got the home
• 40:10
  runs,
• 40:10
  and you have to capitalize on those when
• 40:14
  they're there.
• 40:16
  And she did.
• 40:20
  Yeah.
• 40:20
  This is probably going to help her
• 40:21
  confidence a lot.
• 40:23
  That's saying like in some,
• 40:25
  some of the proven product podcasts that
• 40:26
  like her goal is top ten at the
• 40:28
  games this year.
• 40:31
  Like, I don't like,
• 40:31
  I don't know if she's there,
• 40:32
  but I mean, she's vocalizing that.
• 40:35
  And like,
• 40:36
  I guess it depends what the workouts are
• 40:38
  going to be.
• 40:38
  Like she does have like wheelhouse stuff,
• 40:44
  but she also has some holes and she's,
• 40:46
  I know she's been trying,
• 40:47
  I know she's been running a lot.
• 40:49
  She's been posting a lot about running.
• 40:51
  And that being her biggest hole.
• 40:54
  So if she's closing the gap there and
• 40:56
  can maintain her wheelhouse stuff that
• 40:58
  she's always had, you know,
• 41:00
  all of a sudden she's not getting crushed
• 41:02
  on that one or two workout and she
• 41:05
  can have a little bit more confidence.
• 41:09
  Teresa says,
• 41:09
  I think she's gotten better overall
• 41:11
  because she's gotten better with
• 41:13
  confidence.
• 41:14
  Yes, I would agree with that.
• 41:16
  I think in the last year-ish,
• 41:19
  she's started to gain some confidence.
• 41:22
  I don't know if it's her training
• 41:23
  environment.
• 41:24
  I mean,
• 41:24
  I feel like when you work out with
• 41:25
  the right group of people and you're –
• 41:28
  if you can beat some people at workouts,
• 41:30
  you start to – I mean,
• 41:32
  it starts to bring your confidence up a
• 41:33
  little bit.
• 41:34
  Yeah.
• 41:37
  I met her,
• 41:38
  I met her when she was very young
• 41:40
  and she had just got to underdogs and,
• 41:43
  you know,
• 41:43
  because of my friendship with Justin,
• 41:44
  I got to know her very,
• 41:46
  very early on.
• 41:48
  And,
• 41:50
  and so I'm really basing it all on
• 41:52
  a lot of those conversations.
• 41:55
  Um, and I'm glad she's changed.
• 41:57
  I think that's awesome.
• 41:58
  Yeah.
• 42:00
  I thought maybe Haley Adams would do
• 42:03
  better than she did.
• 42:05
  I mean,
• 42:05
  clearly there's like a hundred and
• 42:09
  fiftieth or something, I think.
• 42:10
  Was it the double under workout that
• 42:12
  brought it back?
• 42:13
  Yes.
• 42:14
  That's one,
• 42:15
  like that workout number three,
• 42:17
  there was a lot of people that can
• 42:20
  struggle elsewhere,
• 42:21
  but like could really affect the
• 42:23
  leaderboard there.
• 42:24
  Like there was a lot of high level
• 42:25
  athletes that got crushed by people kind
• 42:28
  of middling them on that number three.
• 42:32
  that's like the strength test but it's
• 42:33
  like a lower skill strength test which a
• 42:37
  lot of people can kind of excel at
• 42:39
  mm-hmm yeah i'll be curious to see how
• 42:42
  she does that um i've met her husband
• 42:46
  i sure have um i actually knew keifer
• 42:50
  before i knew kyra are they married i
• 42:56
  don't think they're married i don't think
• 42:57
  they're married either but who cares
• 43:01
  They've been together a long time.
• 43:02
  Yes.
• 43:05
  And then Grace says the proven coaches all
• 43:07
  talked about the changes in their
• 43:08
  confidence this year in their quarterfinal
• 43:10
  recap this past week.
• 43:12
  Listen, everybody talks that though.
• 43:15
  And until you see it and it,
• 43:16
  and it plays out on a leaderboard like
• 43:18
  this, then you're, you're like, okay,
• 43:22
  now it means something.
• 43:24
  Well,
• 43:24
  that's why they talked about it in their
• 43:25
  quarterfinals recap.
• 43:26
  Cause it means something.
• 43:27
  Right.
• 43:29
  Is she doing mayhem?
• 43:31
  No, I'm talking about Haley.
• 43:32
  I'm curious to see how Haley does it.
• 43:34
  Uh, Kyra might be him.
• 43:36
  I think Kyra might be at mayhem.
• 43:38
  Yeah.
• 43:40
  I mean,
• 43:41
  a lot of these semifinals coming up,
• 43:42
  like it's going to be hard to qualify.
• 43:44
  Like,
• 43:44
  I feel like a lot of these girls
• 43:46
  might struggle to punch their ticket there
• 43:49
  and we'll get it online with the last
• 43:53
  seven spots or be looking to get it
• 43:55
  online is what I should say.
• 43:56
  Um,
• 44:01
  Um, I didn't,
• 44:03
  I'm trying to pull up Mayhem.
• 44:05
  Not as many people did the qualifiers for
• 44:08
  like the Far East Throwdown or Cope de
• 44:11
  Sur.
• 44:12
  So like those, those regions,
• 44:15
  if you followed the online qualifier,
• 44:16
  like you have a great shot of qualifying
• 44:18
  to the games because there's like one or
• 44:21
  two people fighting versus a lot of the
• 44:23
  other semifinals have like ten people
• 44:25
  fighting for, you know, those spots.
• 44:29
  Yeah.
• 44:30
  Yeah, I'm, I'm not gonna lie,
• 44:32
  I'm kicking myself for not accepting my
• 44:34
  Latin America.
• 44:37
  invite.
• 44:38
  When's that one?
• 44:39
  It's the last one.
• 44:40
  It's like, it's like June, or whatever.
• 44:41
  Well, it's the very, like,
• 44:44
  I should have just paid for the reserve
• 44:47
  the spot and,
• 44:49
  and then that go with I'm just kicking
• 44:52
  my second one in from the left on
• 44:55
  the bottom row.
• 44:57
  And Haley's going too, correct?
• 45:00
  Yeah.
• 45:01
  Second row, third one in.
• 45:02
  Now Mano, Ankeny's,
• 45:04
  Ariel Lohan have both withdrawn.
• 45:07
  And then we have Maddie Faust and
• 45:10
  Olivia...
• 45:13
  I can't ever remember her last name.
• 45:15
  She was at TFX last year.
• 45:18
  Geist Heart.
• 45:20
  Geist Heart.
• 45:20
  There we go.
• 45:21
  Thank you.
• 45:23
  So they're replacing those two pretty
• 45:26
  stacked field though, with Emma Lawson,
• 45:28
  Lucy Campbell, Gabby McGawa,
• 45:30
  Olivia Kerstetter,
• 45:33
  just an page rot page powers, page Rogers,
• 45:37
  um, Lucy McGonigal.
• 45:38
  Those are all names we talked about in
• 45:40
  the top ten of quarterfinals.
• 45:41
  Yeah, this is a great field.
• 45:43
  This is a great field.
• 45:44
  I three spots out of the three spots.
• 45:46
  This is insane.
• 45:48
  This is, this is a battle.
• 45:49
  It's gonna be exciting to watch.
• 45:54
  Yeah.
• 45:54
  And so, and then the men,
• 46:02
  we have Adler, Roman, Jason, Austin,
• 46:06
  Colton, Saxon, all top ten,
• 46:09
  except for the bigger names.
• 46:13
  Even Jack Rosen on the men's side.
• 46:16
  Yeah, he's going team, which so is Sam.
• 46:18
  So like,
• 46:19
  Well,
• 46:19
  what happens if he comes to Mayhem and
• 46:21
  he finishes top three?
• 46:24
  I don't think he'll take it.
• 46:26
  I want to say he already said he's...
• 46:28
  And same with Sam.
• 46:29
  Unless Sam,
• 46:30
  they have a backup for their fourth male.
• 46:37
  I mean, that's just crazy.
• 46:41
  Yeah.
• 46:43
  Is this like the same thing as like
• 46:45
  an athlete...
• 46:47
  doing a semifinal that you know is not
• 46:49
  going to take a spot.
• 46:50
  I would have rather seen someone else.
• 46:52
  No offense.
• 46:53
  Do you know you're not taking it?
• 46:56
  I don't know.
• 46:57
  I agree.
• 46:59
  Now the field is only eighteen people,
• 47:00
  right?
• 47:03
  I loved the prize purse for Mayhem this
• 47:08
  year.
• 47:08
  I don't know if you guys saw this.
• 47:09
  Twelve K for first, eight K for second,
• 47:11
  six K for third, two for fourth,
• 47:14
  and one point five for fifth.
• 47:18
  It's pretty good payout for semifinal.
• 47:20
  Great payout, yeah.
• 47:23
  And then we have a couple workout
• 47:26
  announcements.
• 47:27
  Is there a couple or just one?
• 47:29
  Just one.
• 47:30
  Still just the one workout,
• 47:31
  that's all we know?
• 47:32
  Yeah.
• 47:32
  Dang, I was hoping we had more.
• 47:34
  Well, we can do predictions, but dang,
• 47:36
  with only knowing one workout,
• 47:37
  it's going to be real tough to give
• 47:39
  us predictions.
• 47:41
  midline century intervals of three, three,
• 47:44
  three, four, uh, twenty-five,
• 47:46
  twenty calorie ski,
• 47:48
  twenty-five GHD sit-ups, max toes to bar.
• 47:52
  I've heard on other shows, um,
• 47:57
  that the combination of toes to bar and
• 48:00
  GHD is not done often in competition.
• 48:03
  But like, Jimmy,
• 48:04
  I know you love toes to bar.
• 48:06
  I do.
• 48:07
  Do you,
• 48:08
  are you cool with it being connected to
• 48:11
  a GHD?
• 48:12
  Yeah.
• 48:13
  I'm scared.
• 48:13
  All three of them are the same hip
• 48:17
  hindering closing movement.
• 48:20
  All three.
• 48:23
  Yeah.
• 48:23
  I like this workout.
• 48:24
  I prefer like a hip closing with a
• 48:27
  hip opening,
• 48:28
  like a deadlift with personally,
• 48:30
  like when I had program,
• 48:31
  like I like those combos better versus
• 48:33
  this much interference.
• 48:35
  Yeah.
• 48:36
  But that's just a personal preference.
• 48:40
  Or like an overhead stability.
• 48:43
  It's very mayhem-esque.
• 48:45
  It's very mayhem.
• 48:48
  And it is similar to one that JR
• 48:50
  had programmed too.
• 48:52
  So you can see the minds melding here.
• 48:59
  I like it.
• 49:03
  Who, me?
• 49:03
  Me?
• 49:05
  You.
• 49:05
  Oh, you're out.
• 49:06
  Holy smokes, Scott.
• 49:07
  We didn't even make it for not even
• 49:09
  fifty minutes.
• 49:10
  Goodness gracious.
• 49:11
  Did you see Rich do it in the
• 49:14
  Mayhem thing?
• 49:14
  Yeah, with Darren.
• 49:15
  I was cool to watch him do it
• 49:16
  and then talk about it.
• 49:21
  I love that he said HQ reached out
• 49:24
  and was like, I don't know.
• 49:25
  And he was like, nah.
• 49:28
  We're doing it.
• 49:29
  I think it's a little much.
• 49:31
  No, we're good.
• 49:32
  We know what we're doing.
• 49:37
  um how many athletes do you think will
• 49:39
  finish it in the third interval man i
• 49:41
  i don't think do you think girls finish
• 49:42
  more or guys guys you think more guys
• 49:49
  will finish yeah okay okay interesting i
• 49:55
  think that's interesting because of the
• 49:58
  grip strength yeah
• 50:02
  Because the cycle speed of the GHD,
• 50:04
  I think, would be faster.
• 50:09
  I think the problem is to be good
• 50:12
  at the ski erg,
• 50:14
  you got to be a little bit bigger
• 50:16
  of a girl.
• 50:16
  And that doesn't mean that many big girls,
• 50:20
  right?
• 50:21
  Yeah, there isn't a ton of big girls.
• 50:25
  Jar Jar Loves CrossFit says,
• 50:27
  tested this for funsies.
• 50:29
  Hardest toes to bar of my life,
• 50:31
  and I love them.
• 50:35
  Uh, and Mark makes a great point.
• 50:37
  There's ninety-five watch.
• 50:38
  There's a hundred and three watching live
• 50:41
  and we have fourteen likes.
• 50:44
  Like and subscribe people.
• 50:45
  Come on.
• 50:49
  Um, I don't, yeah,
• 50:51
  I'd like to test this one.
• 50:52
  Just I, and I want to do some,
• 50:54
  I have not done very many GHD at
• 50:58
  all since surgery.
• 50:59
  Like I had tried to do some GHD
• 51:02
  back in.
• 51:05
  don't remember tried to do like fifty
• 51:09
  fairly early on december or january and it
• 51:11
  hurt so bad i could barely do them
• 51:14
  um but i i have done them a
• 51:17
  few more times and they they've been
• 51:18
  better but i i feel like this would
• 51:21
  wreck me so and in case there's ghd
• 51:24
  at in a semi-final which their own there
• 51:26
  is very often i feel like i need
• 51:28
  to start ramping up that volume so
• 51:31
  Yeah, I don't know.
• 51:31
  I might try a round of this and
• 51:32
  just see what, like, falls to the wall.
• 51:37
  Do you think that Rich or Mayhem will
• 51:42
  put a white line on the GHD and
• 51:44
  implement some sort of standard?
• 51:46
  Or do you think it's going to be
• 51:47
  a WFP and basically a frog GHD?
• 51:51
  I think he's going to have a standard.
• 51:53
  I think both JR and Rich don't appreciate
• 51:57
  the frog GHD.
• 52:01
  jr is helping with the programming jr put
• 52:03
  the line on for syndicate so i'm assuming
• 52:05
  i hope they do i hope they do
• 52:08
  too yeah i it is it's such a
• 52:13
  cleaner workout to watch ghds when the
• 52:16
  line is there even with the line you
• 52:19
  can go pretty high up on them yeah
• 52:22
  like it's not but it's really bad for
• 52:25
  a little bit further back but but who
• 52:30
  going
• 52:32
  I mean, James isn't going here.
• 52:35
  Ariel's not going here.
• 52:36
  Those are, like,
• 52:37
  two that I've seen recently, like,
• 52:39
  really kind of skirt that standard.
• 52:41
  Emily does it pretty high up.
• 52:44
  Okay.
• 52:46
  What's funny is, though,
• 52:46
  when you see the standard put out,
• 52:48
  you see they don't do it.
• 52:49
  They're all capable of doing it the other
• 52:52
  way.
• 52:53
  For sure.
• 52:58
  CrossFit says James is king for it.
• 53:02
  Oh, yeah.
• 53:02
  James is.
• 53:03
  Yes.
• 53:05
  Have they announced how many events
• 53:06
  they're having?
• 53:09
  I don't think that's been announced
• 53:10
  either.
• 53:11
  Because last year they only did five,
• 53:12
  right?
• 53:13
  Yes.
• 53:14
  I kind of thought it was the same.
• 53:16
  They're going to go six.
• 53:19
  If CrossFit is a little bit more behind
• 53:21
  the workouts this year,
• 53:22
  I feel like there has to be some
• 53:24
  sort of standardization in the semifinals
• 53:26
  where like you have to have six events.
• 53:27
  Yeah.
• 53:30
  Yeah.
• 53:33
  So what two per day are they doing?
• 53:34
  Are they back to three days or are
• 53:36
  they just doing the two days?
• 53:38
  I think just to see that they could
• 53:40
  go one, three, two.
• 53:43
  I think it's two days because one longer
• 53:46
  one on the Friday moving day.
• 53:50
  And then two,
• 53:52
  I don't think they're doing three days of
• 53:54
  competition.
• 53:55
  So Vicki's going, um,
• 53:57
  she says she thinks it's six in a
• 53:59
  Friday event.
• 54:00
  That isn't open to the public.
• 54:03
  So you think Rich makes a mountain bike
• 54:07
  or trail run?
• 54:08
  Trail run.
• 54:11
  Trail run for sure.
• 54:16
  Okay, so that's good.
• 54:18
  I like that.
• 54:19
  That's going to be probably a long,
• 54:21
  hard workout if they're just doing one
• 54:23
  workout on Friday.
• 54:25
  PC says, wishful thinking, Caroline,
• 54:27
  you think HQ is going to try to
• 54:28
  tell Rich what to do?
• 54:34
  Spectators get two days.
• 54:39
  Okay.
• 54:40
  I love that.
• 54:46
  Maybe it's the marathon run,
• 54:48
  two-mile swim.
• 54:55
  That would be terrible.
• 54:59
  God, yeah.
• 55:00
  All right.
• 55:03
  So any predictions on who you have picked
• 55:05
  to win on the men's and the women's
• 55:08
  side of mayhem?
• 55:09
  And how long do we have for this?
• 55:13
  It's what?
• 55:16
  April, April, April, April, April, April,
• 55:19
  April, April, April, April, April, April,
• 55:26
  April,
• 55:33
  hopper the thing is do you think do
• 55:39
  you think jeff's gonna win it i think
• 55:41
  jeff's gonna win it you do yeah god
• 55:44
  it's got to be like the perfect
• 55:46
  programming no it's the exact opposite of
• 55:49
  that because you think because it's
• 55:51
  because they're okay that's fair
• 55:53
  Because the range of movement,
• 55:55
  people like Austin and Colton have their
• 55:57
  workouts and Jason and Roman have the
• 56:00
  machine workouts.
• 56:01
  Just like they said on girls unfiltered,
• 56:03
  Jeff can do all of that pretty well.
• 56:06
  Yeah.
• 56:07
  And I think he's going to Medeiros his
• 56:10
  way through this thing.
• 56:13
  None of his finishes are going to be
• 56:14
  bad.
• 56:14
  Yeah.
• 56:23
  The woman's side is tougher to predict.
• 56:27
  I know.
• 56:27
  I think there's a lot more women that
• 56:29
  are program dependent.
• 56:34
  I know.
• 56:34
  I wish we knew at least one more
• 56:35
  workout.
• 56:36
  Yeah.
• 56:36
  I mean, if you assume that we're,
• 56:39
  we're going to have that list of Lucy
• 56:41
  in there.
• 56:43
  Oh, I see.
• 56:44
  I'm picking page Rogers.
• 56:46
  I mean,
• 56:46
  I think page is going to be tough.
• 56:48
  Is Emma there?
• 56:49
  Yep.
• 56:51
  Hard to pick against Emma Lawson.
• 56:53
  And Lucy Campbell.
• 56:55
  Home court advantage,
• 56:56
  I'm going with Paige Rogers.
• 56:58
  I agree.
• 56:58
  I think Paige is going to excel here.
• 57:02
  Yeah,
• 57:02
  I think that would be a good three.
• 57:04
  Paige, Lucy, and Emma.
• 57:08
  And in breaking news from water is wet,
• 57:12
  sky is blue,
• 57:13
  Kenneth DeLapp picks Colton Mertens.
• 57:24
  Can't be anything sporty for Jeff.
• 57:26
  All no repeatable things he's great at.
• 57:29
  And I think the outdoor off-site event is
• 57:32
  going to be a run.
• 57:33
  Yeah.
• 57:33
  He's going to smash.
• 57:35
  Yep.
• 57:36
  And then he gets inside and it's all
• 57:39
  good.
• 57:42
  John Young jumping in with picks.
• 57:44
  Lucy Emma Page.
• 57:50
  I transpose that.
• 57:51
  Those are the three we just said?
• 57:54
  Well,
• 57:55
  John Young is picking them in that order,
• 57:56
  Lucy, Emma, Paige.
• 57:58
  Oh.
• 57:58
  I'm saying Paige, Emma, Lucy.
• 58:09
  Okay.
• 58:09
  I'd say Lucy, Paige, Emma.
• 58:12
  Lucy, Paige, Emma, just to be different.
• 58:14
  Yep.
• 58:16
  I think, I don't know, on the men's,
• 58:18
  I mean,
• 58:20
  I think it's going to be Jeff and
• 58:22
  Jason,
• 58:22
  but
• 58:24
  The third is tough.
• 58:26
  Austin's going to be better on the run
• 58:28
  than Holden.
• 58:33
  Yeah, I'm going probably Jeff, Jason.
• 58:38
  Austin?
• 58:41
  I'm going Jeff, Jason, Saxon.
• 58:44
  I do like that pick too.
• 58:47
  I don't mind that.
• 58:52
  I think
• 58:54
  I think he'll like that total bar workout.
• 58:56
  Listen,
• 58:58
  everybody goes with Jamie when we're
• 59:00
  picking against each other.
• 59:01
  Thanks, guys.
• 59:03
  I'm also with Jamie.
• 59:05
  Jamie more likely.
• 59:06
  Blah, blah, blah.
• 59:07
  Jamie, Jamie, Jamie.
• 59:10
  And I only pick Saxon because John Young
• 59:12
  is here.
• 59:16
  Jeff, Roman, Jason.
• 59:18
  Yeah, I mean,
• 59:19
  I think Jason will beat Roman.
• 59:21
  I don't think, but...
• 59:23
  I can see those three.
• 59:25
  I really need to see Roman perform well
• 59:29
  live.
• 59:30
  I just, I don't, I, I,
• 59:35
  I know he's great at things,
• 59:38
  but I think his time has come.
• 59:41
  It's over and he's not well-rounded enough
• 59:45
  as things are dropping off.
• 59:46
  Right.
• 59:47
  Yeah.
• 59:47
  I don't,
• 59:48
  he's not really in my top three.
• 59:51
  I'm just torn on who my third is.
• 59:52
  Cause I think it's going to be Jeff
• 59:53
  and Jason.
• 59:54
  I just, I don't know.
• 59:57
  I mean, I'd like,
• 59:58
  I would like Colton to beat Austin.
• 1:00:00
  I just don't know if that's feasible with
• 1:00:02
  a run in there.
• 1:00:06
  I'll rock with Saxon,
• 1:00:11
  but Saxon does mayhem programming too.
• 1:00:13
  So it's a home court advantage for him
• 1:00:15
  too.
• 1:00:16
  So in the same regards,
• 1:00:17
  I'm going with page.
• 1:00:18
  I'm going with Saxon.
• 1:00:29
  Um, uh, Jeff,
• 1:00:34
  Jason rich surprise entry from Fergie.
• 1:00:40
  All right.
• 1:00:41
  So that's Mayhem.
• 1:00:41
  We got two weeks to talk about it.
• 1:00:43
  We'll refine our picks next weekend if we
• 1:00:46
  have any changes or we see any withdrawals
• 1:00:48
  or more events to make an educated pick.
• 1:00:52
  So these are not official Clydesdale picks
• 1:00:54
  yet.
• 1:00:55
  We will have our picks next weekend
• 1:00:57
  officially.
• 1:00:59
  So the last thing I have for tonight,
• 1:01:02
  there's a couple quick hitters.
• 1:01:04
  One is, if you didn't see this,
• 1:01:08
  A friend of the show has been Lana
• 1:01:10
  Marcin.
• 1:01:11
  She is the one who competed to get
• 1:01:15
  the seventy plus Masters age group
• 1:01:17
  included in the in to the games.
• 1:01:23
  And she's a feisty woman.
• 1:01:25
  She is so spirited and so great.
• 1:01:29
  She posted this and I just had to
• 1:01:31
  share it.
• 1:01:32
  Lana got a shirt from her gym that
• 1:01:33
  said our boss bitch.
• 1:01:37
  And nothing could be more appropriate for
• 1:01:41
  Lana than getting that shirt.
• 1:01:44
  And I just wanted to share that because
• 1:01:45
  she's a huge friend of the show.
• 1:01:47
  She always listens and makes comments
• 1:01:49
  after the fact.
• 1:01:51
  But she's awesome.
• 1:01:53
  And the other big quick hitter is
• 1:01:55
  Jacqueline Dahlstrom has announced that
• 1:01:57
  she is pregnant.
• 1:01:59
  And by the looks of this picture,
• 1:02:01
  it didn't happen yesterday.
• 1:02:04
  Yeah, but still fairly early.
• 1:02:08
  The picture of her husband or partner or
• 1:02:12
  whatever is half-baked.
• 1:02:15
  It's half-cooked.
• 1:02:17
  So whether you take that literally to mean
• 1:02:19
  that it's halfway through the process...
• 1:02:26
  or not they are pregnant um and her
• 1:02:29
  partner is john john singleton there we go
• 1:02:33
  uh elite crossfit coach over in europe
• 1:02:39
  congratulations to them uh jacqueline has
• 1:02:41
  been on the show a couple times uh
• 1:02:44
  when she was um more active she was
• 1:02:49
  a great athlete fun to watch um
• 1:02:56
  And so with that last question,
• 1:03:01
  and then we're going to go for the
• 1:03:02
  night, make cut a little bit short.
• 1:03:05
  I was watching the Glinton things the
• 1:03:07
  other night with Seth, Seth page.
• 1:03:10
  And they were talking about how,
• 1:03:14
  In CrossFit,
• 1:03:15
  everybody wants to know everything they
• 1:03:17
  can about athletes, personal life, drama,
• 1:03:20
  all of that stuff.
• 1:03:22
  And Seth made the comment that it's funny
• 1:03:24
  because he's a big Celtics fan and he
• 1:03:27
  doesn't care about Jason Tatum's personal
• 1:03:31
  life.
• 1:03:31
  He just cares about what they do on
• 1:03:33
  the court.
• 1:03:34
  And, you know,
• 1:03:35
  if he sees something in passing,
• 1:03:37
  surface level, it's fine.
• 1:03:40
  He's a little bit interested,
• 1:03:41
  but he doesn't ever dive into more than
• 1:03:43
  that.
• 1:03:45
  And my question to you is,
• 1:03:47
  because CrossFit is so internet-based,
• 1:03:51
  everything about CrossFit is on the
• 1:03:53
  internet.
• 1:03:54
  It's not on ABC.
• 1:03:56
  It's not on TNT.
• 1:03:59
  It's not on a streaming service.
• 1:04:01
  You have to go to the internet to
• 1:04:04
  see CrossFit and to learn about it.
• 1:04:06
  And because of that, the mix of
• 1:04:09
  professional life and personal life get
• 1:04:12
  mixed together in social media.
• 1:04:15
  And then now we're starved for more.
• 1:04:19
  So pencil, pen, or Sharpie, is it,
• 1:04:25
  is it that it's internet based that we
• 1:04:26
  are more interested in the athletes,
• 1:04:28
  personal lives, or is it just,
• 1:04:32
  or is it something else?
• 1:04:32
  So my way off base.
• 1:04:33
  Sharpie.
• 1:04:38
  I'll say pen.
• 1:04:40
  I think that's just human nature.
• 1:04:43
  Like, that's like, like,
• 1:04:45
  we're all curious individuals.
• 1:04:48
  Like,
• 1:04:49
  I like to follow what I love that
• 1:04:51
  Hiller follows Tyson around, like,
• 1:04:56
  you know,
• 1:04:57
  it just getting to see a glimpse of
• 1:05:00
  anyone
• 1:05:03
  anyone like anyone somewhat famous living
• 1:05:07
  a little different but like do they do
• 1:05:09
  some things the same way you do like
• 1:05:11
  that's cool to see people like to see
• 1:05:13
  that um especially when he does a crossfit
• 1:05:16
  workout in our instance like yeah you know
• 1:05:20
  i so probably tyson is the first i'm
• 1:05:25
  the biggest chicago bears fan in the world
• 1:05:29
  And Tyson is probably the one bear that
• 1:05:33
  I know more about on a surface level.
• 1:05:36
  And it's more because of my love for
• 1:05:38
  CrossFit than what I've gotten from the
• 1:05:40
  Chicago Bears.
• 1:05:44
  I don't know what I'm sharp being,
• 1:05:46
  but I'm agreeing that CrossFit is all
• 1:05:50
  online and like their whole, like people,
• 1:05:53
  the athletes in CrossFit like post a lot
• 1:05:56
  on social media just in general for their
• 1:05:58
  brand.
• 1:06:00
  Um,
• 1:06:01
  and less like the professional athletes
• 1:06:03
  make so much money with their contracts
• 1:06:06
  with their,
• 1:06:07
  within their sport that they don't have to
• 1:06:09
  be on social media selling their personal
• 1:06:12
  brand.
• 1:06:13
  Um,
• 1:06:16
  Yeah, I guess that's my answer.
• 1:06:18
  I don't really know what I'm sharpening or
• 1:06:23
  pen.
• 1:06:23
  So CrossFit,
• 1:06:24
  I don't agree with your example here.
• 1:06:26
  Aaron Rodgers may be on Pat McAfee every
• 1:06:28
  week,
• 1:06:29
  but I've never learned a thing about his
• 1:06:31
  personal life.
• 1:06:34
  I know his political views.
• 1:06:36
  I know how he feels about certain things
• 1:06:38
  in the world,
• 1:06:39
  but the guy got married and has never
• 1:06:42
  said who his wife is.
• 1:06:45
  Like,
• 1:06:46
  you don't learn anything more.
• 1:06:50
  And so, um, but the,
• 1:06:53
  the one good point he made is the
• 1:06:55
  minute tiger woods gets arrested,
• 1:06:58
  we're all diving in like everybody was
• 1:07:04
  looking up.
• 1:07:05
  police photos,
• 1:07:07
  comparing it to the golf club to the
• 1:07:09
  car night,
• 1:07:10
  comparing it to all the other stuff that
• 1:07:13
  I'll give you.
• 1:07:14
  The minute Tiger Woods got arrested,
• 1:07:16
  we were all invested.
• 1:07:17
  Yeah.
• 1:07:25
  So
• 1:07:28
  So, yeah,
• 1:07:30
  John Morant goes into strip clubs with
• 1:07:32
  guns.
• 1:07:33
  But I'm not diving in to know more
• 1:07:36
  about John Morant.
• 1:07:38
  That's just a headline on ESPN.
• 1:07:42
  When we're talking CrossFit,
• 1:07:44
  when we're diving into Danielle Brandon,
• 1:07:48
  her home and her coach being outside in
• 1:07:50
  a car and all this other stuff,
• 1:07:53
  we're diving in way further than we did
• 1:07:55
  on even Tiger Woods.
• 1:08:01
  I mean, like I said,
• 1:08:02
  people are just curious.
• 1:08:03
  Like they want to know who she's dating.
• 1:08:08
  I don't know if we're diving or dense
• 1:08:11
  dives gets the diving in.
• 1:08:15
  I'm just saying the media as a whole,
• 1:08:18
  like dive into this more in our space
• 1:08:21
  than they do in other sports.
• 1:08:24
  And I, and I, I've seen,
• 1:08:25
  they're more reachable as athletes than
• 1:08:29
  athletes that have millions of followers.
• 1:08:32
  Like it's just more easy to get some
• 1:08:35
  information from the athletes.
• 1:08:37
  in CrossFit.
• 1:08:39
  The other point I think I wanted to
• 1:08:42
  make on this is that if you remember
• 1:08:46
  the NBA in the seventies, nobody watched,
• 1:08:49
  and then they decided to market the
• 1:08:51
  players.
• 1:08:52
  And so the NBA started to focus on
• 1:08:55
  magic and bird and Dr.
• 1:08:57
  J and then Jordan comes along.
• 1:09:00
  Then Allen Iverson, Shaq,
• 1:09:03
  Anthony Hardaway,
• 1:09:04
  and the NBA backed the limelight on their
• 1:09:11
  own players.
• 1:09:13
  CrossFit never did it.
• 1:09:14
  It was all in the athlete's hands.
• 1:09:16
  And only after the athlete had taken the
• 1:09:19
  first six steps did CrossFit then step in
• 1:09:23
  to use that to help move them forward.
• 1:09:28
  That's my editorial comment.
• 1:09:31
  They didn't jump in on Dallin, James,
• 1:09:33
  Justin,
• 1:09:34
  and Jason until they had already paved the
• 1:09:37
  way.
• 1:09:41
  But I was, I think that's,
• 1:09:44
  you saw like prior in the years of
• 1:09:47
  the CrossFit media,
• 1:09:49
  we knew about them through the CrossFit
• 1:09:52
  space because social media wasn't as big.
• 1:09:59
  I think it was more so then,
• 1:10:02
  but they never did anything about Rich
• 1:10:04
  until Rich won.
• 1:10:07
  And Rich was doing all these crazy things,
• 1:10:09
  right?
• 1:10:14
  What was that, Carolyn,
• 1:10:14
  you cut out on me?
• 1:10:15
  Because he's relevant and people want to
• 1:10:18
  know how he's training to win.
• 1:10:21
  Right,
• 1:10:22
  but what the NBA did was they tried
• 1:10:24
  to figure out who those players were going
• 1:10:25
  to be and they started to market them.
• 1:10:29
  They got ahead of all of that.
• 1:10:30
  Hey,
• 1:10:31
  know who these people are so that you
• 1:10:33
  can,
• 1:10:34
  so we can market you and it'll help
• 1:10:36
  the league overall.
• 1:10:38
  And then it got to a point where
• 1:10:39
  people then love the game and they could
• 1:10:41
  go to back to marketing the game as
• 1:10:44
  opposed to individual players.
• 1:10:46
  I mean,
• 1:10:46
  it's a lot easier in those sports because
• 1:10:48
  you have all of these development leagues,
• 1:10:51
  you have college basketball or football,
• 1:10:53
  you know,
• 1:10:54
  and then you kind of see them progress.
• 1:10:56
  For us, like, you have the Open,
• 1:10:57
  which you don't really get to see them.
• 1:10:59
  You can see them on a leaderboard,
• 1:11:00
  but you don't have their videos.
• 1:11:01
  Quarters, like,
• 1:11:02
  you might see them here and there at
• 1:11:03
  comps,
• 1:11:04
  but you want to see some sort of
• 1:11:05
  consistency.
• 1:11:06
  So I think it's a little bit harder
• 1:11:07
  to kind of make those all-in predictions.
• 1:11:10
  We use the teenage CrossFit games maybe to
• 1:11:12
  do some future –
• 1:11:17
  predictions on some of the athletes that
• 1:11:18
  could do well later on but other than
• 1:11:22
  that i think it's a little bit harder
• 1:11:23
  in our sport to make those predictions
• 1:11:29
  before like looking at them being
• 1:11:30
  consistent all of a sudden podium and then
• 1:11:32
  you start following them
• 1:11:34
  So I think it was one,
• 1:11:36
  it was a lot easier.
• 1:11:37
  The cart's already out or the horse
• 1:11:39
  already out of the barn carts before the
• 1:11:41
  horse, whatever.
• 1:11:43
  You can't put the toothpaste back in the
• 1:11:44
  tube, whatever cliche you want to use.
• 1:11:47
  It's too late now when it was regionals
• 1:11:50
  and it was a smaller sport.
• 1:11:51
  I think you could have predicted who was
• 1:11:53
  coming or you could have came close enough
• 1:11:56
  for it was an interesting storyline at a
• 1:11:58
  regional.
• 1:12:00
  to get people to watch regionals and grow.
• 1:12:03
  And when they were doing road to the
• 1:12:05
  games and featuring these people,
• 1:12:08
  that's when the height of the popularity
• 1:12:10
  of the sport hit.
• 1:12:12
  All those roads to the games from
• 1:12:14
  thirteen, fourteen, fifteen, sixteen,
• 1:12:16
  seventeen.
• 1:12:17
  You knew so many people at regionals that
• 1:12:20
  you didn't know in years past.
• 1:12:23
  And when it was regionals,
• 1:12:24
  it was easier to follow the progression of
• 1:12:27
  an athlete.
• 1:12:29
  These semifinals all over the place and
• 1:12:31
  people going to multiple semifinals,
• 1:12:33
  it's making it a full-time job to follow
• 1:12:38
  who might be an athlete.
• 1:12:45
  But...
• 1:12:48
  They tried that in the regionals days and
• 1:12:49
  the compelling episodes was the misses.
• 1:12:53
  I agree when they had did the Brooke
• 1:12:56
  and Josh bridges road to the games and
• 1:12:58
  neither one qualified for the games.
• 1:13:01
  That's one that top three most talked
• 1:13:03
  about road to the games ever.
• 1:13:06
  I just watched that the other,
• 1:13:07
  the other day,
• 1:13:07
  cause we talked about it and I was
• 1:13:09
  like,
• 1:13:09
  I should go back and look at this
• 1:13:10
  cause I'm going to Delmar to compete.
• 1:13:13
  I was like, go back and watch that.
• 1:13:15
  I just, I hadn't watched that one before,
• 1:13:17
  but yeah.
• 1:13:19
  And they're very, very compelling.
• 1:13:22
  So... Yeah.
• 1:13:25
  Brent coming in one place out of the
• 1:13:27
  games, what, three years in a row?
• 1:13:30
  Made you root for him.
• 1:13:32
  And when he got there,
• 1:13:33
  you knew who he was already.
• 1:13:35
  And so he made a huge splash when
• 1:13:37
  he got there.
• 1:13:42
  So...
• 1:13:44
  I don't know.
• 1:13:45
  It just, it was a great episode.
• 1:13:47
  If you didn't see it, Clinton thing,
• 1:13:49
  Seth page, the discussion was great.
• 1:13:52
  It made me think about all these different
• 1:13:54
  things, just watching it.
• 1:13:56
  And I wanted to take a minute to
• 1:13:58
  talk it out.
• 1:13:59
  with you all.
• 1:14:02
  I'm sure we'll talk about a little more
• 1:14:03
  this week,
• 1:14:04
  but I did want to cut it short
• 1:14:06
  tonight because I do need to get to
• 1:14:08
  bed.
• 1:14:08
  I have to go back to work tomorrow
• 1:14:11
  and I do need to get some rest.
• 1:14:12
  Sleep has been negligible over the last
• 1:14:15
  few days.
• 1:14:17
  But thank you all again for reaching out,
• 1:14:20
  checking on me.
• 1:14:22
  I love you all.
