• 1:03
  like with fresh fruit and everything.
• 1:05
  I just haven't,
• 1:07
  I actually haven't even
• 1:07
  fired it up in probably a month.
• 1:10
  I bought a Ninja creamy
• 1:12
  maybe a year ago or a year
• 1:14
  and a half ago.
• 1:14
  And it's still in a box.
• 1:16
  I haven't even opened it.
• 1:17
  Lex wanted me to buy it.
• 1:19
  And I, I just haven't,
• 1:21
  I haven't even opened it.
• 1:23
  It's ready for,
• 1:25
  it's ready for her when she comes.
• 1:27
  It is, uh,
• 1:30
  It would be needed here in
• 1:31
  Dallas right now.
• 1:34
  It's pretty warm.
• 1:36
  But yeah.
• 1:37
  Aaron Fraser asks what my shirt says.
• 1:41
  It says WKRP in Cincinnati.
• 1:44
  And if you're old enough to
• 1:45
  know what this show,
• 1:48
  it was a TV show back in the day.
• 1:51
  But I like the way it looks
• 1:52
  like an old rock T-shirt.
• 1:56
  So, and it was one of my favorite shows.
• 2:00
  So we're here, Fort Worth, Texas,
• 2:04
  getting ready for the CrossFit Games.
• 2:06
  They start tomorrow morning, 7 a.m.
• 2:08
  local time.
• 2:10
  So that would be 5 a.m.
• 2:13
  for Carolyn.
• 2:14
  You'll be up for like three
• 2:15
  hours by that point.
• 2:17
  Yeah,
• 2:17
  I'm already going to be up at that point.
• 2:18
  So, yeah,
• 2:21
  I put all the times for like I've
• 2:23
  already converted
• 2:23
  everything for the whole day.
• 2:25
  So I'm ready to go tomorrow
• 2:26
  between the Olympics and the games.
• 2:29
  My day is full because it's my rest day.
• 2:32
  So it'll be good.
• 2:33
  Lots of sport watching.
• 2:37
  Speaking of the Olympics,
• 2:38
  my plane right now,
• 2:39
  American has where you can
• 2:41
  watch free TV on your
• 2:43
  iPhone or your phone.
• 2:44
  But my headphones were
• 2:46
  attached to my laptop,
• 2:47
  which was in my bag in the overhead.
• 2:50
  And I couldn't get them to detach.
• 2:52
  So I couldn't listen to
• 2:53
  whatever I was watching.
• 2:55
  So I had to watch the
• 2:56
  Olympics on closed caption and read
• 3:00
  all the stuff that was going
• 3:01
  on this afternoon.
• 3:03
  It was pretty funny.
• 3:04
  I've had to do that many times.
• 3:06
  If I forgot like my
• 3:07
  headphones or something and
• 3:08
  I didn't want to put it out,
• 3:09
  like the volume up super high.
• 3:12
  I just read the captions.
• 3:14
  Yeah.
• 3:16
  Yeah.
• 3:16
  Don't forget to like, and subscribe.
• 3:18
  That's why Lex is there.
• 3:19
  Like subscribe, hit that notifier.
• 3:22
  We're going to be going live a couple.
• 3:23
  I set up all the shows so
• 3:25
  you can go look and see
• 3:27
  when we're going live all weekend.
• 3:29
  We're going to do a wrap-up
• 3:30
  once a day and then our
• 3:32
  normal show on Sunday night.
• 3:36
  So we know the entire lineup for tomorrow.
• 3:42
  We've known event one is the Run-Swim.
• 3:48
  Let's talk favorites for
• 3:51
  these events for tomorrow.
• 3:52
  Yeah.
• 3:55
  Yeah.
• 3:57
  Go ahead.
• 3:59
  On the men's side,
• 4:00
  I'm looking at Brent Fikowski,
• 4:04
  James Sprague.
• 4:07
  Lazar normally does well in
• 4:09
  running and swimming.
• 4:11
  So I'd say those three.
• 4:12
  Someone like Ricky could
• 4:13
  probably have a good lead.
• 4:16
  However,
• 4:16
  I don't think he is the strongest
• 4:19
  swimmer as an Aussie.
• 4:20
  I think he's a good swimmer,
• 4:21
  but it just depends how
• 4:23
  much of a lead he can have offensively.
• 4:27
  with his running capacity.
• 4:31
  And if you're playing the Heat One app,
• 4:34
  it's a lot harder now.
• 4:35
  You can't just pick the winner.
• 4:37
  You have to pick from five
• 4:38
  different regions, I think it is,
• 4:41
  or four different regions.
• 4:43
  Did I pause or did you?
• 4:44
  Did I lose the internet or you?
• 4:50
  Yeah,
• 4:50
  the internet here has been off and on
• 4:53
  a lot all day.
• 4:55
  What was the last thing you heard from me?
• 4:58
  I heard everything.
• 4:58
  So I'm hearing everything from you.
• 5:02
  I just,
• 5:03
  I think you're not hearing me fast
• 5:04
  enough.
• 5:07
  Okay.
• 5:09
  Yeah.
• 5:09
  So those,
• 5:09
  those would be my pick on the
• 5:10
  men's side would, would be those three.
• 5:12
  I,
• 5:13
  I still think Jeff and Ricky can do well
• 5:16
  just because of, and I mean, yellow,
• 5:18
  I don't know his swimming capacity.
• 5:21
  Um, if he's a good swimmer,
• 5:22
  he could be in the mix as
• 5:23
  well in the top 10.
• 5:24
  Um,
• 5:26
  Yeah,
• 5:27
  I think the run's going to play a big
• 5:28
  factor,
• 5:28
  but you obviously need to be a
• 5:29
  good swimmer.
• 5:30
  On the female side, I mean,
• 5:32
  Tia is going to do great.
• 5:34
  Haley Adams should do well.
• 5:37
  Emily Rolfe is a strong
• 5:38
  swimmer and runner.
• 5:41
  Look for people like Grace
• 5:42
  Walton to possibly be up there.
• 5:44
  I'd say those are some solid picks.
• 5:52
  So I agree with everything you're saying.
• 5:55
  I think that as a dark horse pick,
• 6:02
  I think Jeff Adler is going
• 6:03
  to have a really good event one.
• 6:05
  I think people are going the
• 6:07
  Fikowski-James Sprague route,
• 6:09
  and I think that Jeff's
• 6:12
  going to have a great one.
• 6:14
  People are counting him out,
• 6:16
  and he won last year,
• 6:17
  and he's got something to prove.
• 6:20
  The other person that I think,
• 6:21
  I think Hattie Kenya is
• 6:22
  going to have a great event one.
• 6:26
  I know that when she was in Bali,
• 6:28
  swimming was part of her
• 6:29
  training a couple days a week.
• 6:32
  And she can run really well.
• 6:36
  Yeah,
• 6:36
  that'd be great for her to start the
• 6:38
  weekend off with a good event.
• 6:41
  Yeah,
• 6:42
  not saying she's going to beat Tia or
• 6:44
  Emily,
• 6:45
  but she's going to have a really good,
• 6:46
  really good day.
• 6:49
  I just think that three and
• 6:50
  a half miles of running is
• 6:52
  definitely substantial,
• 6:53
  and the good runners are
• 6:54
  going to get a good lead
• 6:56
  going into the water.
• 6:59
  Yeah.
• 7:01
  Yeah,
• 7:01
  if you look at Hattie in the berm run
• 7:03
  that took out the berm,
• 7:04
  she did really well in that
• 7:05
  at semifinals.
• 7:07
  And then I know that she swims a lot.
• 7:12
  So that's why I'm picking
• 7:14
  her as a dark horse.
• 7:15
  Yeah.
• 7:16
  Pringle's a great runner too.
• 7:17
  I don't know her swimming capacity.
• 7:19
  And she's got great endurance.
• 7:23
  So she could be another one
• 7:24
  to like a dark horse to,
• 7:26
  to watch in that event.
• 7:29
  Yeah, that's a great pick.
• 7:32
  So let's move on to event two.
• 7:36
  Event two was just announced today.
• 7:38
  I'm not even sure I
• 7:40
  understand the total lot, the,
• 7:47
  the order of it.
• 7:49
  So it's four rounds and they
• 7:53
  have the sledgehammer or
• 7:55
  like the hammer sledgehammer.
• 7:56
  And I mean, they don't even go like,
• 7:59
  it's a horrible technique
• 8:00
  that they're using.
• 8:00
  That's just straight up and
• 8:02
  down and then switching.
• 8:06
  And then they grab a light sandbag.
• 8:09
  That's like soft and like
• 8:11
  half full and they toss it
• 8:13
  over the tire and they can
• 8:14
  walk over the tire.
• 8:16
  to the other side.
• 8:17
  Actually, before they have to do that,
• 8:19
  they have to touch the ground.
• 8:21
  So you throw this sandbag,
• 8:24
  touch the ground,
• 8:25
  then you have to go over.
• 8:26
  The amount of people that
• 8:27
  are going to forget to
• 8:28
  touch the ground and go
• 8:30
  over the tire is going to be a lot.
• 8:33
  There's going to be a lot of
• 8:35
  no reps there or misjudge reps there.
• 8:39
  But that was something that was in
• 8:41
  the video that they had.
• 8:44
  And then there's so 14 reps
• 8:46
  of that and then five tire
• 8:50
  flips and then yeah, four rounds.
• 8:51
  So 50 hammers,
• 8:53
  which just looks embarrassing.
• 8:55
  It looks like we don't know
• 8:56
  how to do a sledgehammer
• 9:04
  because it's not even good technique.
• 9:07
  And you don't get rewarded for any power.
• 9:09
  Like I've done a lot of
• 9:10
  training with that with hockey.
• 9:12
  We used to do that all the
• 9:13
  time on the tires at Wisconsin.
• 9:16
  And I also did in CrossFit a little bit,
• 9:18
  but never like never a speed thing.
• 9:21
  It was more accessory.
• 9:22
  It's more for power building, precision,
• 9:24
  stuff like that.
• 9:25
  But like you're not getting
• 9:27
  rewarded for any good technique,
• 9:29
  any any power generated.
• 9:30
  You're just hitting the tire.
• 9:32
  It's going to bounce back
• 9:33
  and you just have to be
• 9:34
  quick to bring it above your head.
• 9:37
  It looks ridiculous.
• 9:39
  It looks embarrassing.
• 9:41
  Just look at the posture of
• 9:43
  the athletes demoing it.
• 9:46
  It looks dumb.
• 9:48
  Colton had a good flow going,
• 9:52
  but it still looks so... It
• 9:58
  looks so dumb.
• 10:00
  That's not even how you use it.
• 10:01
  So...
• 10:05
  When I heard hammer,
• 10:06
  I had just gotten off a
• 10:08
  plane and I thought that
• 10:09
  they were going to swing it
• 10:10
  like you showed like over the,
• 10:14
  and that I would have been
• 10:15
  fine with this.
• 10:18
  This would have, this thing is not that.
• 10:21
  And my comment to you was
• 10:23
  ain't nobody winning the
• 10:24
  stuffed teddy bear at the
• 10:26
  fair with the way they're
• 10:27
  swinging the hammer.
• 10:29
  No, they don't have to hit hard.
• 10:30
  They can just let it fall
• 10:32
  and then just re-grip.
• 10:34
  I mean,
• 10:34
  it's going to be hard because
• 10:36
  they're racing.
• 10:37
  And it's going to be grippy because,
• 10:39
  I mean, all three movements are grippy.
• 10:41
  The tire is very, very light.
• 10:43
  Like, when you flip tires, it's normally,
• 10:45
  like, 400 to 600 pounds.
• 10:49
  Like, maybe even more than that.
• 10:51
  This is 242 pounds.
• 10:52
  It's so light.
• 10:52
  Like, it just...
• 10:59
  you could, you could toss that, that tire,
• 11:02
  not like barely, like they weren't even,
• 11:04
  they weren't even using their knee.
• 11:05
  Normally when you do a tire flip,
• 11:07
  like you drive your knee and then you,
• 11:09
  you push it again.
• 11:11
  It's like the,
• 11:12
  the demo of it just looked
• 11:14
  like we didn't know how to flip a tire,
• 11:17
  which some people will be
• 11:18
  very good at the tire.
• 11:19
  I love the tire.
• 11:20
  Like, I think that's great.
• 11:22
  They should,
• 11:22
  they could have done like
• 11:23
  burpee jump in the tire,
• 11:25
  come back the other way and
• 11:26
  then had another implement.
• 11:28
  But,
• 11:29
  Like the sandbag toss just looks sloppy.
• 11:32
  The bag is sloppy, but it's okay.
• 11:35
  I just think people are
• 11:36
  going to miss that touch on
• 11:37
  the ground a lot.
• 11:44
  I don't hate any of the
• 11:45
  elements by themselves,
• 11:47
  but I hate the standards.
• 11:49
  I think that's a part I don't like.
• 11:53
  And Vi asks the question,
• 11:55
  why do you think they went
• 11:57
  with this standard over the
• 11:58
  swing behind the body?
• 12:01
  And she then follows it up with safety,
• 12:04
  maybe?
• 12:04
  I don't think it has to do with safety,
• 12:09
  but I think that's going to
• 12:11
  be the fastest way to do it.
• 12:12
  The power means nothing.
• 12:14
  Yeah.
• 12:16
  In the times that they've
• 12:17
  used a hammer or some sort of like sledge,
• 12:21
  they had to hit an object,
• 12:22
  whether it was a stake in the ground,
• 12:24
  which that's not even fair
• 12:25
  across all lanes,
• 12:27
  like what you're slamming into.
• 12:30
  or they had the assault
• 12:31
  banger where you're,
• 12:32
  you're hitting that thing
• 12:33
  either between your legs or to the side,
• 12:36
  but you're hitting an
• 12:37
  object and you're moving in
• 12:38
  a certain distance.
• 12:39
  Like there's no thing,
• 12:40
  like there's nothing that's
• 12:41
  being moved distance wise.
• 12:42
  You're just hitting,
• 12:44
  like there's not even a
• 12:45
  target that you have to hit
• 12:46
  the circle every time.
• 12:47
  So it measures precision.
• 12:49
  It's literally just above your head.
• 12:51
  Like,
• 12:52
  can you be hunched over the whole time?
• 12:54
  And just, I don't know the standard,
• 12:55
  I guess.
• 12:56
  Like if you have to stand up,
• 12:57
  then becomes a range of motion.
• 13:01
  And the smaller athletes
• 13:02
  could do maybe better over
• 13:05
  50 reps like that.
• 13:09
  Yeah, I just think it was,
• 13:11
  it's very interesting.
• 13:12
  Like I said, the sandbag toss over,
• 13:14
  it's okay.
• 13:18
  I'm not like,
• 13:19
  I don't think it's like the coolest thing,
• 13:20
  but I mean, it's fine.
• 13:22
  You still, you have to have, like,
• 13:23
  I like sandbag tosses and
• 13:25
  stuff like that.
• 13:26
  Like,
• 13:26
  I think that's athleticism stuff like
• 13:29
  we used to do.
• 13:31
  like med balls and throw
• 13:32
  them over our shoulder and
• 13:35
  like for distance and stuff like that.
• 13:37
  So don't have to toss it and
• 13:39
  be precise landing it on
• 13:41
  the other side of the tire,
• 13:44
  but just very interesting workout.
• 13:49
  Yeah.
• 13:50
  Sorry.
• 13:51
  I'm my,
• 13:52
  my grocery shopper is texting me
• 13:54
  that they're out of
• 13:55
  something I wanted trying
• 13:58
  to get groceries to the hotel room.
• 14:00
  Aaron Frazier says,
• 14:03
  it's the equivalent of running in place.
• 14:08
  It's a great training exercise.
• 14:13
  It's grippy.
• 14:14
  It gets tiring.
• 14:16
  I just don't think it has a
• 14:19
  place in competition.
• 14:22
  That's my thing.
• 14:23
  I don't think it's good in a
• 14:27
  sport for speed.
• 14:30
  If you're not moving a certain distance,
• 14:32
  something,
• 14:32
  if you're just like hitting
• 14:33
  something on the spot,
• 14:36
  the standard is very hard.
• 14:39
  Yeah.
• 14:40
  It might be a factor.
• 14:41
  Thinking about it.
• 14:42
  If you went behind the back,
• 14:44
  how do you judge that standard?
• 14:47
  Like, how do you, like,
• 14:47
  there's no way like,
• 14:51
  and so why not just show
• 14:52
  them the fastest way to do it?
• 14:53
  Cause everybody's going to do that anyway.
• 14:56
  Yeah.
• 14:56
  I mean,
• 14:57
  you would be dumb to do the correct way.
• 15:00
  because it would be slow and
• 15:02
  you'd be dumb to use all
• 15:03
  the power to go into the,
• 15:05
  into the tire because
• 15:06
  you're not getting any more points or any,
• 15:11
  any lead by hitting the tire any harder.
• 15:14
  And you're just going to be like,
• 15:17
  wasting your energy that way
• 15:19
  like at the end of the day
• 15:20
  it's still going to be
• 15:21
  exciting because all of us
• 15:23
  are fans of the sport and
• 15:25
  we're going to be excited
• 15:26
  to see the the races go
• 15:28
  down and you know position
• 15:31
  wise who's going to get the
• 15:32
  points but if you're
• 15:33
  showcasing our sport I just
• 15:35
  don't think that's it looks
• 15:37
  good like I'm I was
• 15:40
  embarrassed watching it
• 15:42
  yeah I lex asks if it's on
• 15:45
  espn I don't think it is
• 15:47
  I think Amanda's what's on ESPN,
• 15:52
  which Vi says as well.
• 15:54
  I think Amanda's a good one
• 15:55
  to have on ESPN.
• 15:57
  Amanda's a great workout on ESPN.
• 16:00
  The mixture of a gymnastics,
• 16:02
  like high-skill movement,
• 16:04
  like a ring muscle-up,
• 16:05
  and then the precision of a snatch.
• 16:08
  That's always been a great –
• 16:10
  Amanda's a great workout.
• 16:11
  This one,
• 16:12
  if they're going to be showing
• 16:13
  highlights of it on ESPN –
• 16:19
  Yeah.
• 16:21
  Yeah.
• 16:22
  Lex says,
• 16:23
  imagine that's someone's first
• 16:24
  workout they see of CrossFit.
• 16:29
  Everybody thinks all we do
• 16:30
  is swing sledgehammers into
• 16:31
  tires and flip them anyway.
• 16:34
  But if they think that's all
• 16:35
  the better we can do it,
• 16:37
  then that's not good.
• 16:40
  like it's a good workout.
• 16:42
  Like it would be a good workout to do on a,
• 16:44
  like, you know,
• 16:45
  on a weekend at your
• 16:45
  affiliate with people and you're just,
• 16:48
  you know, that's,
• 16:49
  you have a tire and you
• 16:51
  come up with a workout and
• 16:52
  it's just something you do.
• 16:53
  Great.
• 16:54
  At, for the test of the fittest on earth,
• 16:58
  like as that,
• 16:59
  like that's a test that was
• 17:01
  needed in our 12 or however
• 17:03
  many that they,
• 17:04
  that they're going to come up with.
• 17:05
  Like that's the test that we
• 17:07
  decide just determines the
• 17:09
  fittest on earth.
• 17:10
  Like,
• 17:13
  Yeah.
• 17:14
  I don't know.
• 17:15
  Yep.
• 17:17
  I agree.
• 17:18
  So then we finished up with Amanda,
• 17:20
  which we both agree is a great workout.
• 17:23
  It's Amanda 45.
• 17:25
  So it actually starts at 13
• 17:28
  instead of nine.
• 17:29
  The original Amanda was nine, five, three,
• 17:33
  nine, seven, five, nine, seven, five.
• 17:37
  This one is 13, 11, nine, seven, five.
• 17:38
  So yeah,
• 17:43
  That's a lot.
• 17:48
  I've heard elite athletes
• 17:49
  say that when you say, Amanda,
• 17:51
  it sounds like not a lot on paper,
• 17:52
  the original version, and when you do it,
• 17:55
  you're gassed at the end.
• 17:57
  Now you're adding two more
• 17:59
  rounds at the higher end.
• 18:01
  Does it change the pacing?
• 18:03
  That slows it down because
• 18:05
  the real original Amanda,
• 18:07
  it's unbroken on the barbell.
• 18:10
  Here with 13, 11...
• 18:12
  nine seven five you're not
• 18:13
  going unbroken on the
• 18:14
  barbell um you could do
• 18:17
  fast singles and then like
• 18:19
  the men are unbroken on the
• 18:21
  ring muscles um there could
• 18:23
  be a few women that could
• 18:24
  go unbroken on on the ring
• 18:26
  muscles I don't think many
• 18:27
  of them can but you can
• 18:29
  definitely see um some of
• 18:32
  them go on unbroken on all
• 18:33
  rounds um it'll it's a good
• 18:35
  workout yeah I like this one a lot
• 18:39
  I did it this year in
• 18:41
  February because I knew
• 18:43
  Amanda with some version of
• 18:44
  Amanda was coming this year.
• 18:45
  So I've been playing around
• 18:46
  with different versions of it.
• 18:49
  Yeah, it's a good one.
• 18:50
  I like it.
• 18:51
  Yeah,
• 18:52
  this is the one I'm most excited of
• 18:54
  for tomorrow.
• 18:57
  To see this in the new venue
• 18:59
  in the big with all the
• 19:01
  lights and all the and this
• 19:03
  to be the ESPN one.
• 19:04
  I think this is going to be fun to watch.
• 19:09
  Yeah, the venue looks great.
• 19:11
  I think they did a great job
• 19:13
  just with all the rigs and stuff.
• 19:16
  It looks really good.
• 19:18
  Yeah.
• 19:19
  So people asked about the media access.
• 19:20
  I still don't have my credentials yet.
• 19:23
  I have to go get them
• 19:24
  because when my plane came
• 19:26
  in and they changed some of
• 19:27
  the scheduling at the venue,
• 19:30
  I wasn't able to get there
• 19:31
  in time to pick up my credentials today.
• 19:34
  And then they were closing
• 19:35
  down the venue anyway for team briefings.
• 19:39
  and demos tonight.
• 19:41
  So we weren't even allowed
• 19:43
  in the building anyway.
• 19:46
  And they released all of the
• 19:49
  team workouts for tomorrow as well.
• 19:52
  Anything there of note?
• 19:54
  Because I haven't had time
• 19:55
  to look at that.
• 19:57
  So on the first event,
• 20:00
  it was posted earlier on
• 20:02
  their CrossFit Games page.
• 20:06
  So the team runs three and a half miles
• 20:08
  And then they'll paddle
• 20:10
  together 0.75 miles to the finish line.
• 20:14
  So a little bit longer on
• 20:16
  the water than the
• 20:17
  individuals who are half a
• 20:20
  mile in the water, which is 800 meters.
• 20:23
  So that's the first event, which, I mean,
• 20:27
  I think a lot of the teams
• 20:28
  have been practicing some
• 20:30
  version of running into a
• 20:32
  paddle after some of the
• 20:34
  clues have come up.
• 20:36
  come out and then also
• 20:37
  seeing the individual workout,
• 20:39
  you figured that it was
• 20:40
  going to be something similar.
• 20:41
  And sure enough, it is.
• 20:42
  Um, event number two is a deadlift ladder.
• 20:48
  Um, it's like a female, female pair,
• 20:51
  and then a male, male, um, paired.
• 20:54
  It's like a four minute
• 20:55
  AMRAP and the ladder goes higher.
• 20:59
  So it's like 20 reps.
• 21:01
  Let me just pull it up in my phone.
• 21:04
  Yeah, it's like 20 deadlifts at weight one,
• 21:06
  20 deadlifts at weight two,
• 21:08
  and then max deadlifts at weight three.
• 21:10
  And you're just going back
• 21:11
  and forth with your partner
• 21:14
  until the four minute time caps,
• 21:16
  which I mean, I love, of course.
• 21:20
  So the last weight for the
• 21:22
  barbell on the deadlift for
• 21:23
  the men is 425.
• 21:26
  And for the females, it's 305.
• 21:30
  So in the video that
• 21:32
  CrossFit Games posted,
• 21:34
  Colton was just ripping them out.
• 21:36
  Scott had a little bit more
• 21:39
  difficulty with the deadlifts,
• 21:42
  but Colton was just going after it.
• 21:47
  And then they'll rest two minutes.
• 21:50
  And then event number three
• 21:52
  is a relay style.
• 21:53
  So essentially the reps are all 30 total.
• 22:00
  But it's it's divided up
• 22:02
  differently between a ring
• 22:03
  muscle up and a clean and jerk.
• 22:06
  So the first athlete would
• 22:08
  go six ring muscle ups and
• 22:10
  or I'm assuming it's ring
• 22:12
  and 24 clean and jerk for time.
• 22:15
  And then the next athlete
• 22:16
  would go and their version
• 22:17
  would be 12 ring muscle ups
• 22:19
  and 18 clean and jerks at 135,
• 22:23
  95 as well.
• 22:23
  The weight stays the same.
• 22:25
  Athlete three would be 18
• 22:27
  ring muscle ups and 12 clean and jerks.
• 22:29
  And then the last one would
• 22:30
  be 24 clean or ring muscle
• 22:33
  ups and six clean and jerks.
• 22:36
  So most of the teams,
• 22:38
  I would assume their male
• 22:40
  athlete will be doing the
• 22:43
  24 ring muscle ups and the
• 22:45
  18 and seeing whether that
• 22:46
  athlete has that unbroken.
• 22:48
  And that weight on the
• 22:49
  barbell is light that it's a sprint.
• 22:52
  Like you're essentially
• 22:54
  going on broken on both
• 22:55
  movements and then you're tagging up.
• 22:58
  Like I expect almost all the,
• 23:00
  like all the top teams to
• 23:01
  be unbroken on this.
• 23:05
  So it could be a range of motion as well,
• 23:07
  but your grip is going to
• 23:08
  be a factor depending on
• 23:10
  the deadlift from the one before,
• 23:12
  if someone had to hold on
• 23:13
  and they have to go a little bit earlier,
• 23:15
  but I think it will be fine.
• 23:18
  My question to you is going to be,
• 23:20
  does that mean the females
• 23:21
  would go first and the
• 23:23
  males would finish up?
• 23:24
  And you answered that already.
• 23:28
  Unless you have someone,
• 23:29
  like a female athlete,
• 23:30
  that would have 18 ring
• 23:32
  muscle-ups unbroken.
• 23:35
  But I just... I think the
• 23:39
  round of 24 muscle-ups,
• 23:41
  you might see a break.
• 23:43
  But I think if you look at a
• 23:44
  team with Noah Olsen or...
• 23:47
  uh, Chandler, you know, Tola and them,
• 23:50
  like those athletes can do the 24,
• 23:52
  I'm assuming unbroken or in two sets.
• 23:56
  And then they only have six
• 23:57
  clean and jerks after at one 35,
• 24:00
  which is normal.
• 24:01
  Like it's only pretty,
• 24:03
  pretty much a touch and go.
• 24:05
  Um, so I think that's, I like that.
• 24:07
  That's an exciting,
• 24:08
  they're not doing the hammer tire stuff.
• 24:13
  So nice job.
• 24:18
  uh lex asks is the run roped
• 24:22
  I haven't seen if it was
• 24:24
  roped or not but I mean
• 24:26
  what benefit does it do to
• 24:29
  separate from your team if
• 24:31
  you gotta wait at the
• 24:33
  paddle anyways for all four
• 24:35
  members to get there um I
• 24:38
  would like for it to be
• 24:40
  roped and they're running
• 24:41
  together I like I like when
• 24:43
  they do that yeah
• 24:48
  I think it always looks
• 24:49
  better roped because then
• 24:51
  it's not – your score is
• 24:54
  just your worst runner.
• 24:56
  And I know that there's a finisher to this,
• 24:58
  but it just has that look.
• 25:02
  And so I like it when it's roped.
• 25:04
  And that's going to – and
• 25:07
  it's been happening like
• 25:08
  this for many years,
• 25:08
  but a lot of times your
• 25:09
  worst runner is a big
• 25:11
  factor at one of the events.
• 25:14
  Like I was talking to –
• 25:18
  what's his name?
• 25:19
  Um, Scuds is a boyfriend today and we were,
• 25:24
  and he was, yeah.
• 25:26
  Um,
• 25:26
  and he was saying that you can't hide a
• 25:29
  good runner or a bad runner anymore.
• 25:31
  Like you're always, you know,
• 25:33
  penalized for a bad runner,
• 25:35
  but if you have a bad lifter,
• 25:36
  a lot of times you can
• 25:37
  still make up for it with
• 25:39
  the other lifters,
• 25:39
  but you can't make up for the bad runner.
• 25:41
  And I was like, that's a good point that,
• 25:44
  you know, you, you're as fast as you're,
• 25:47
  As that runner.
• 25:49
  And then we talked about
• 25:51
  this earlier with the
• 25:51
  paddle and the
• 25:53
  synchronization that's
• 25:54
  going to happen and making
• 25:56
  sure that they're going straight.
• 25:58
  But I don't think the
• 25:59
  distance on the water is significant.
• 26:02
  I think a lot of it will get
• 26:05
  determined on the run.
• 26:07
  However, the beginning of the water,
• 26:09
  if there's a lot of paddles there,
• 26:11
  can get physical-ish, I'll say.
• 26:16
  Yeah,
• 26:16
  my guess is the teams that are
• 26:18
  together a lot, like the top teams,
• 26:21
  like Peak360 and the Mayhem teams,
• 26:24
  and they're not going to
• 26:26
  have a problem with the synchronization.
• 26:28
  But I'm thinking that first heat,
• 26:29
  you might see some train wrecks.
• 26:33
  Just if you haven't paddled a lot,
• 26:36
  there is a technique to it.
• 26:37
  And there is like,
• 26:39
  you want to reach the same
• 26:41
  depth in the water.
• 26:42
  You want to have the same
• 26:43
  angle on the paddle.
• 26:46
  or whatever your paddling turn,
• 26:48
  and go not straight.
• 26:50
  So I think it's more likely
• 26:53
  in the earlier heats,
• 26:55
  but just because those top
• 26:57
  teams have spent the whole year together.
• 27:00
  Will it just be one heat, though?
• 27:03
  It could just be one large heat.
• 27:05
  Or maybe, you know,
• 27:09
  difference of 10 minutes
• 27:10
  just so that when they get
• 27:11
  to the water it's not as
• 27:13
  scrambled um yeah but it
• 27:17
  looks like they have to
• 27:18
  stay on their like on their
• 27:19
  knees and they're not able
• 27:20
  to stand up on the paddle
• 27:22
  board from what the demo
• 27:23
  team demonstrated on dave's
• 27:27
  story a few days ago yeah
• 27:30
  the last thing I wanted to
• 27:31
  talk about um and I just
• 27:33
  want to take the last
• 27:34
  couple minutes to do that is
• 27:37
  If you didn't see the press
• 27:38
  conference that had today,
• 27:40
  I've said a lot of things
• 27:43
  that I didn't like that
• 27:44
  CrossFit has been doing.
• 27:46
  I thought the press
• 27:47
  conference they handled
• 27:48
  today was excellent.
• 27:50
  And what they did in it was excellent.
• 27:54
  They had all the home state
• 27:55
  athletes talk about what it
• 27:57
  means for the games to come
• 27:59
  to their home state.
• 28:01
  Don Fall spoke.
• 28:02
  There were executives there.
• 28:04
  And then they had a level
• 28:05
  one seminar staff member.
• 28:09
  show a class to the press,
• 28:12
  like what it looks like to
• 28:14
  do a CrossFit class.
• 28:17
  And I thought that was brilliant.
• 28:21
  I missed it.
• 28:21
  And that sounds awesome.
• 28:23
  That, that that's,
• 28:25
  and I did see like a
• 28:27
  picture of Don fall and the
• 28:29
  Texas native three athletes that I saw.
• 28:32
  It was Ariel and,
• 28:35
  Domet and Bethany.
• 28:39
  And I was like, oh,
• 28:39
  that's great that they
• 28:40
  included the hometown or home state,
• 28:46
  I should say, athletes.
• 28:48
  But yeah, that's great.
• 28:51
  Yeah.
• 28:52
  They took 30 minutes to hold
• 28:54
  a simulated class to show
• 28:57
  the press what a CrossFit
• 28:59
  class looks like.
• 29:01
  And
• 29:02
  that is the best thing I've
• 29:03
  seen in a press conference
• 29:05
  since I became part of the
• 29:06
  media five years ago.
• 29:08
  So, um, I want to give them kudos to that,
• 29:12
  uh, huge shout out.
• 29:13
  Cause I think that was an
• 29:15
  excellent idea and they
• 29:16
  should be applauded for that.
• 29:20
  Absolutely.
• 29:23
  Um,
• 29:23
  Lex jumps in again with who do we think
• 29:25
  will be the men's and
• 29:26
  women's leader after day one?
• 29:33
  I think on the men's side,
• 29:34
  you're going to see Ricky
• 29:35
  in the lead after day one.
• 29:36
  I think he's going to have a
• 29:38
  great first event.
• 29:39
  His second event,
• 29:40
  I have no idea what's going to happen,
• 29:41
  but he is not super tall,
• 29:43
  and he's very athletic.
• 29:45
  He's one of the more
• 29:46
  athletic ones in the field.
• 29:47
  He should do well in number two,
• 29:48
  and he's going to crush Amanda.
• 29:51
  And then on the female side,
• 29:52
  I don't think you can go
• 29:53
  with anyone but Tia.
• 30:04
  Dang.
• 30:05
  I want to say somebody other than Tia.
• 30:10
  I think that event one,
• 30:12
  she's going to win or come
• 30:13
  in second at worst.
• 30:16
  So that gives her an advantage.
• 30:23
  If you want to pick someone else,
• 30:25
  I would go with Emma Lawson.
• 30:27
  I'm going to go Alexis Raptus.
• 30:32
  I think two and three are
• 30:33
  going to be good for her.
• 30:34
  I know she's been swinging a
• 30:37
  sandbag a lot this year.
• 30:40
  And so that little fluffy
• 30:43
  one that they have to do an event to,
• 30:44
  she's going to toss around.
• 30:46
  I think two and three are
• 30:48
  going to be really, really good for her.
• 30:51
  If she can have a solid
• 30:53
  finish in event one.
• 30:56
  I think she should be good in it.
• 30:58
  She's a great runner.
• 31:00
  Her swimming should be good.
• 31:03
  I don't know if she'll finish top five.
• 31:05
  I think that there's
• 31:06
  stronger swimmers in the
• 31:08
  field than Alexis.
• 31:10
  That's why if I were to go outside of Tia,
• 31:12
  I would go with Emma Lawson,
• 31:14
  who's a great swimmer and runner.
• 31:15
  I think she can do well on the sledge one.
• 31:19
  I think that she moves well
• 31:21
  Like we saw in the box jump
• 31:22
  overs last year at the games,
• 31:23
  how much she dominated just
• 31:25
  the box jump overs there.
• 31:27
  And then she almost always
• 31:29
  wins ring muscle-up
• 31:30
  workouts traditionally.
• 31:32
  She's done it at Rogue.
• 31:33
  She's done it at semifinals a lot.
• 31:36
  So I think Emma could have a
• 31:38
  great day one.
• 31:39
  If you want to go with
• 31:40
  someone other than Tia,
• 31:43
  she'll be up there.
• 31:46
  So I'm going to take a flyer on –
• 31:50
  I think your, your picks are solid.
• 31:52
  I, because I don't,
• 31:54
  Ricky is so good at almost
• 31:55
  all of this other than the swim.
• 31:58
  Um,
• 32:00
  I'm going to take a flyer and go with
• 32:04
  Pat Valder.
• 32:05
  I know he can't swim.
• 32:07
  It's not a long part of that workout.
• 32:10
  Can he get a big,
• 32:11
  just enough lead to make it solid?
• 32:14
  He is awesome at muscle ups.
• 32:16
  He'll kill Amanda's too.
• 32:17
  Um,
• 32:19
  And that mid that second one
• 32:21
  is nothing for him.
• 32:23
  I think he's going to do great.
• 32:24
  And number two,
• 32:25
  he grew up with a lacrosse
• 32:26
  stick in his hand.
• 32:27
  If someone is very agile
• 32:28
  with both sides of like a
• 32:31
  stick and something like in
• 32:33
  his hand in that position,
• 32:34
  it's literally Pat Donner
• 32:36
  as a lacrosse player.
• 32:37
  So I do think with his,
• 32:40
  with his athleticism,
• 32:41
  he adapts very well to
• 32:44
  workouts at the games that
• 32:45
  are new to people.
• 32:47
  Um, he will do very well in two and three.
• 32:49
  He's a good runner.
• 32:50
  I think he is better on the
• 32:54
  swim than what people give
• 32:55
  him credit for.
• 32:56
  I think he'll do, um,
• 32:58
  middle of the pack there
• 33:00
  and then great event two
• 33:02
  and three that he's going
• 33:03
  to be all the way up.
• 33:05
  I don't know if he'll be in first,
• 33:06
  but he'll be, you know,
• 33:08
  well within the top 10 after,
• 33:09
  after the first day.
• 33:12
  Alexis Lazar and Justin will
• 33:14
  have a good day.
• 33:15
  One, two, Justin will kill day one.
• 33:20
  So he'll probably be right
• 33:21
  there behind Ricky.
• 33:23
  It'll probably be Ricky, Justin, Pat.
• 33:30
  We'll go with that.
• 33:35
  I like that.
• 33:37
  Like right now,
• 33:39
  all of these workouts that are out,
• 33:41
  like Roman, I don't see him as high as
• 33:48
  jeff ricky and pat for what
• 33:50
  we've known so far on these
• 33:52
  events um on multiple days
• 33:56
  I could be wrong but I it
• 33:58
  just seems to be good
• 34:01
  workouts right now for more
• 34:03
  more other people than him
• 34:05
  correct me if I'm wrong we
• 34:08
  haven't seen a machine
• 34:09
  announced not yet uh
• 34:15
  Yes, skiered in the rope with GHD.
• 34:20
  Like that has Justin
• 34:21
  Medeiros written all over it,
• 34:23
  Pat Vellner.
• 34:24
  Roman can do well as well too,
• 34:25
  but normally I would think
• 34:27
  Justin Pat would do well on
• 34:30
  that rope climb workout.
• 34:36
  Andrew Stent says,
• 34:36
  I want to see if Justin and
• 34:37
  Lazar still have any beef from last year.
• 34:45
  I saw Lazar say that he has no beef,
• 34:48
  that they squashed it
• 34:50
  pretty soon after the games.
• 34:53
  Yeah,
• 34:53
  I think it's in the heat of the moment.
• 34:54
  They're competitive.
• 34:56
  It's well in the rearview mirror now.
• 35:02
  They're not thinking about that.
• 35:06
  So my last question for you is,
• 35:08
  is the Family Watch and Family Feud
• 35:11
  One hundred percent.
• 35:13
  I'm trying to mute in between,
• 35:15
  but I know you can probably hear it.
• 35:17
  Yeah, I know my game shows.
• 35:22
  I grew up with them,
• 35:23
  my family that we watch
• 35:25
  them all the time.
• 35:25
  So, yeah, love a good family feud.
• 35:30
  Well,
• 35:31
  this is our preview for event for day
• 35:33
  one.
• 35:35
  I'll be over at the venue tomorrow.
• 35:36
  We'll we'll be doing our show.
• 35:38
  I think I'm.
• 35:39
  I think we scheduled that
• 35:40
  I'm going to be live at the
• 35:42
  venue right as everything ends, I think.
• 35:47
  Yeah,
• 35:47

  Pacific time, 8 p.m.

  Eastern time.
• 36:00
  That's correct.
