• 0:02
  And we are live from the
• 0:05
  Best Western Plus Resort in Knoxville,
• 0:07
  Tennessee.
• 0:10
  Are you on mute?
• 0:11
  Do you have your mute on?
• 0:12
  I hear that go.
• 0:13
  I do have my mic on mute.
• 0:15
  Okay.
• 0:16
  I almost feel like it's just
• 0:19
  sound coming through my phone.
• 0:22
  Okay.
• 0:23
  I don't know.
• 0:23
  My mic is on mute.
• 0:25
  All right.
• 0:26
  Now the technical stuff's out of the way.
• 0:27
  Okay.
• 0:28
  Live from the Best Western
• 0:29
  Resort Plus in Knoxville, Tennessee.
• 0:33
  We are here to break down
• 0:34
  the Syndicate Crown final day action.
• 0:38
  What went on?
• 0:38
  Who's punching their ticket?
• 0:39
  Who's going to the games?
• 0:42
  Wow, we got Seema Cannons in the house.
• 0:45
  We got Holly.
• 0:45
  We got Kenneth.
• 0:46
  What's going on, guys?
• 0:49
  Helson Albernaz is there.
• 0:51
  It says, hello, I'm sad.
• 0:56
  Taylor, Annika, and Prevost.
• 1:00
  uh couldn't have said it
• 1:01
  better myself so we went in
• 1:06
  today with three events
• 1:07
  remaining uh and things
• 1:13
  started off pretty hot we
• 1:15
  had the row handstand row
• 1:18
  handstand walk event oh
• 1:21
  marma switzer's in that crowd
• 1:27
  So we started out with that one,
• 1:31
  and there were so many close races.
• 1:37
  But I think the theme of the day,
• 1:38
  and it started with this event,
• 1:39
  were that people from the
• 1:41
  first couple heats were
• 1:44
  setting the time to beat.
• 1:47
  Yeah.
• 1:50
  and in this event it it was
• 1:52
  like no other and uh or all
• 1:54
  the others um ashley wozni
• 1:56
  came out on fire in that
• 1:59
  first event dana pran
• 2:00
  actually won the first heat
• 2:04
  then ashley wozni beat the
• 2:05
  time from the second heat
• 2:08
  and she actually ended up
• 2:09
  finishing top five yeah it was solid
• 2:15
  So that shook up the
• 2:17
  leaderboard quite a bit
• 2:17
  because Ashley actually
• 2:18
  jumped 10 spots on that
• 2:22
  performance for the women.
• 2:25
  And then when it came to the end, it was,
• 2:28
  of course,
• 2:30
  everybody thought it was
• 2:31
  Danielle Brandon's event to win.
• 2:33
  And what actually happened, Jamie?
• 2:41
  I can't even remember the final heat.
• 2:43
  Was it like...
• 2:46
  Oh, well, Haley.
• 2:50
  She rode incredible.
• 2:53
  She did.
• 2:55
  And then once she hit the handstands,
• 2:57
  nobody was catching her.
• 2:58
  Yeah.
• 3:00
  So I believe it went Haley, Tia, Raptus.
• 3:08
  Then Wozni.
• 3:11
  Danielle was up there.
• 3:12
  I think Danielle might have beat Raptus.
• 3:16
  on the last like two feet.
• 3:19
  Yeah.
• 3:21
  I just was shocked.
• 3:21
  Danielle did not run on her
• 3:23
  hands like she normally does.
• 3:24
  Yeah.
• 3:25
  She didn't look like she was
• 3:27
  moving as fast.
• 3:29
  Um, which it's more,
• 3:33
  it seems to be more of a rowing workout,
• 3:35
  but you expect when
• 3:38
  Danielle flips upside down to be out.
• 3:44
  walking everybody,
• 3:45
  and that was not the case.
• 3:47
  I mean,
• 3:47
  she was walking in time with the
• 3:50
  other girls on the floor.
• 3:51
  Holly said Danielle actually
• 3:53
  came in 10th in that event.
• 3:55
  Yeah, that's crazy.
• 3:57
  So that was not at all expected.
• 4:00
  It was a close race at the top.
• 4:02
  I'm pulling it up now.
• 4:07
  Yeah, I mean, the last...
• 4:09
  20 feet of that walk was
• 4:13
  pretty close between.
• 4:15
  It actually was Haley Adams, Brooke Wells,
• 4:18
  then Tia, then Annika from the third heat,
• 4:26
  and then Ashley Wozni from
• 4:28
  the second heat.
• 4:29
  Yeah.
• 4:30
  Annika and Brooke were together.
• 4:32
  Oh, that's right.
• 4:34
  And Brooke had overtaken
• 4:36
  Annika on the rower.
• 4:38
  Yeah.
• 4:40
  Just a hair.
• 4:41
  That was such a tight race.
• 4:42
  That one was so fun to watch.
• 4:44
  It was.
• 4:48
  And then when the men came up, it was very,
• 4:50
  very similar.
• 4:50
  And was it the third heat?
• 4:55
  Because Rosema had to like
• 4:58
  tuck and shoot his leg out
• 5:00
  to get the win of that heat.
• 5:01
  Yeah, that was the third heat.
• 5:11
  I hate that it resets to
• 5:12
  overall every time.
• 5:16
  So it ended up in the,
• 5:17
  in the third heat Rosema
• 5:23
  one with Vino and Parker and it was bang,
• 5:26
  bang, bang.
• 5:27
  Yep.
• 5:28
  Uh, Jack Farlow dominated the first heat,
• 5:32
  uh,
• 5:33
  and ended up with a fifth place finish.
• 5:39
  But the event actually was Hopper, Pepper,
• 5:44
  Corn YA to start off the final heat.
• 5:52
  But there were crazy
• 5:53
  finishes all over the place
• 5:54
  on every heat of that
• 5:55
  except for Farlow dominating the first.
• 5:59
  So, so much fun to watch.
• 6:00
  Yeah.
• 6:03
  Lots of screaming around as it,
• 6:05
  because we could not tell
• 6:07
  with the naked eye who had won what.
• 6:10
  No.
• 6:14
  But it was crazy.
• 6:17
  And now when I feel like the
• 6:19
  way you finished your
• 6:20
  handstand walk mattered,
• 6:22
  at least for those guys,
• 6:23
  because it was such tight race,
• 6:25
  they needed to be.
• 6:30
  They just need to be very
• 6:31
  calculated with the way
• 6:32
  they came down on their
• 6:33
  handstand or rolled like
• 6:34
  Jack did to make sure that
• 6:36
  chip timer immediately ticked over.
• 6:39
  Yeah,
• 6:39
  it actually prompted a lot of
• 6:40
  discussion in the pits
• 6:43
  about what was the best way
• 6:44
  to end that race.
• 6:46
  Take two more steps on your hands,
• 6:50
  do the front somersault,
• 6:52
  or pull down and tuck under.
• 6:56
  Everybody had their own theory.
• 7:00
  But when you're relying on a chip timer,
• 7:01
  I think staying on your
• 7:03
  hands doesn't give you the
• 7:05
  sense of security that it's
• 7:06
  going to trip.
• 7:07
  Yeah.
• 7:09
  So, yeah.
• 7:12
  Helson says, Farlow had a great day three.
• 7:15
  He sure did, man.
• 7:16
  Being down at the bottom for
• 7:18
  most of day one and two,
• 7:20
  and then to finish 17th overall.
• 7:24
  Lots of great performances by Jack today.
• 7:26
  Yeah.
• 7:28
  He looked like what we would
• 7:30
  have expected day one and two.
• 7:34
  So what do you take from the
• 7:36
  Danielle thing not running on her hands?
• 7:39
  I don't know.
• 7:39
  I don't know if she was just
• 7:41
  being calculated this
• 7:42
  weekend and making sure
• 7:43
  there was no mistakes.
• 7:45
  Not that I think she would
• 7:46
  have gotten a mistake in that workout.
• 7:47
  So it is interesting.
• 7:51
  I don't see her needing to.
• 7:56
  change anything about her
• 7:58
  handstand walking to make
• 7:59
  sure she doesn't make an
• 8:00
  error but we saw some
• 8:06
  fingertips touching sides
• 8:08
  of tape and things like
• 8:09
  that getting people no reps
• 8:10
  or kind of like Tudor last
• 8:13
  week starting with your
• 8:14
  fingertip just grazing that
• 8:16
  start of the line so maybe
• 8:18
  she just took things slower
• 8:19
  I don't know my conspiracy
• 8:22
  theory is she did it just
• 8:23
  to mess with us all
• 8:25
  She did it to blow the heat one out.
• 8:28
  Not necessarily.
• 8:28
  He won just because she's
• 8:31
  known as the handstand Walker and like,
• 8:33
  I don't want to be known as that.
• 8:34
  So I'm just going to take this one.
• 8:36
  Chill.
• 8:37
  I'm in a good spot.
• 8:38
  I don't need to.
• 8:41
  So that's my conspiracy theory.
• 8:43
  Just, just to be defiant.
• 8:45
  Like Danielle likes to be like,
• 8:48
  I'm going to show you,
• 8:49
  don't call me the handstand Walker.
• 8:51
  I'm going to have a nice
• 8:52
  consistent weekend and just
• 8:54
  punch my ticket.
• 8:57
  Maybe.
• 9:01
  Or do you think she wasn't
• 9:05
  fully confident she could
• 9:06
  win it and didn't want to try and fail?
• 9:16
  Bruce, was it a row workout or not?
• 9:18
  I don't think it was a row workout.
• 9:20
  I think it was whatever you
• 9:21
  wanted it to be.
• 9:22
  It was a row workout.
• 9:24
  If you ask Andrea Solberg in
• 9:26
  Europe whether it was a
• 9:27
  handstand walk or a row,
• 9:29
  she'd tell you it was a handstand walk.
• 9:30
  It was a row workout.
• 9:34
  Who won the workout?
• 9:37
  Here?
• 9:39
  Who won the workout worldwide?
• 9:41
  Laura.
• 9:42
  Okay.
• 9:45
  So if you had that prop and
• 9:46
  you thought the world
• 9:47
  record was going to fall today,
• 9:50
  it did not.
• 9:51
  And who won the record?
• 9:52
  Men.
• 9:55
  worldwide.
• 9:58
  Cole grease saver.
• 9:59
  I'm guessing because I don't know.
• 10:03
  Yeah, I think so.
• 10:09
  So I don't know.
• 10:14
  Elson agrees.
• 10:15
  It was a real workout.
• 10:16
  Sorry, Scott.
• 10:18
  Yeah,
• 10:18
  but Andrea Solberg finished second in
• 10:20
  Europe and she did not
• 10:21
  attack that as a row workout.
• 10:23
  She's so good on her hands.
• 10:26
  That's what she attacked it as.
• 10:27
  Then I don't know.
• 10:28
  There's something going on
• 10:29
  with the rest of the field in Europe.
• 10:33
  Thank you, Kenneth.
• 10:34
  It was a CrossFit workout.
• 10:39
  I mean, sure,
• 10:40
  you couldn't suck on your hands.
• 10:41
  You couldn't stop every 12-foot increment.
• 10:44
  You definitely couldn't win doing that.
• 10:46
  So you needed to be good on your hands,
• 10:49
  but it was a rowing workout.
• 10:55
  Bruce says,
• 10:56
  where does Danielle bet big on
• 10:57
  the Heat One app?
• 10:59
  Yeah, all that cash.
• 11:00
  So...
• 11:06
  So that's the end of that.
• 11:07
  It is what it is.
• 11:08
  Hopper won.
• 11:10
  And, uh, yeah.
• 11:15
  Who won for the Haley one?
• 11:17
  Hopper and Haley.
• 11:19
  So then, and I want to,
• 11:21
  I do want to say to you
• 11:22
  right before that workout,
• 11:23
  you and I look down at
• 11:24
  Haley and on the start mat,
• 11:28
  completely different Haley.
• 11:30
  She was having fun.
• 11:31
  She was singing along to the
• 11:33
  music playing in the arena.
• 11:35
  She was swaying, dancing,
• 11:37
  whatever you want to call it,
• 11:39
  to that look super calm.
• 11:43
  Nothing like we've seen her in the past.
• 11:45
  Oh, my goodness.
• 11:47
  Look who's joined us.
• 11:50
  Oh, hey.
• 11:53
  Hello.
• 11:57
  We don't want to bug you.
• 11:58
  I don't know what you guys
• 11:59
  are talking about.
• 11:59
  I missed the first part.
• 12:02
  We just talked about the event four.
• 12:06
  And then argued whether it's
• 12:07
  a row workout or a
• 12:08
  handstand walk workout.
• 12:10
  It's 100% a rowing workout.
• 12:13
  Unless you have very,
• 12:14
  very fast handstand walks,
• 12:16
  it's a rowing workout.
• 12:20
  Yes.
• 12:21
  Okay.
• 12:22
  This was a power-up.
• 12:23
  It depends on who you are.
• 12:26
  But if you have very,
• 12:28
  very fast handstand walk,
• 12:29
  you can stay in the race.
• 12:31
  But it's mostly a rowing workout.
• 12:36
  Okay.
• 12:38
  I'd already lost before you came.
• 12:39
  You just slam dunked it over
• 12:41
  my head even harder.
• 12:43
  Chloe and I were talking
• 12:44
  about it after she had done her event.
• 12:46
  We're like, yeah,
• 12:47
  that was more of a rowing
• 12:49
  capacity workout.
• 12:51
  Because you can get a lot of a head start
• 12:54
  like, over the three rounds,
• 12:56
  especially the 800 and the 600,
• 12:58
  you can make up some time where, like,
• 13:00
  even if someone goes really,
• 13:01
  really fast on their hands, like,
• 13:05
  if you're a good rower,
• 13:08
  you can do some damage.
• 13:10
  Yeah, I mean, prime example,
• 13:11
  I think Danielle lost her very first,
• 13:13
  like, handstand workout ever.
• 13:17
  You need it to be good at both.
• 13:20
  Yeah, yeah.
• 13:21
  But I think it was more
• 13:23
  important to be a really good rower.
• 13:27
  Out of the two.
• 13:28
  Yeah, I agree now.
• 13:31
  Everybody's slam dunked on me.
• 13:32
  I'm good.
• 13:36
  But Danielle did not look like Danielle.
• 13:37
  Typical Danielle on her hands.
• 13:40
  So I don't know what was up
• 13:43
  with her that she didn't
• 13:45
  kick in that gear.
• 13:45
  I think it's true.
• 13:47
  I think it's a lot of pressure for her.
• 13:48
  Every time she does,
• 13:49
  she's done handstand walk workouts.
• 13:51
  She's talked about that's
• 13:51
  like the most anxious that
• 13:53
  she gets her like pressure
• 13:54
  that she has because she
• 13:56
  knows she's expected to, to win.
• 13:59
  So.
• 14:00
  Well,
• 14:00
  my concern was that she doesn't want
• 14:04
  to be known as a handstand
• 14:05
  Walker anymore.
• 14:06
  And she just said, I'm, I've,
• 14:09
  I'm just building bricks
• 14:10
  this weekend and I'm doing well.
• 14:11
  And if I'm just consistent,
• 14:12
  it's good enough.
• 14:15
  Doubtful, but maybe.
• 14:19
  So Carolyn's been on for all
• 14:20
  of two minutes and she slam
• 14:22
  dunked me twice.
• 14:27
  Glad you jumped on the show, Carolyn.
• 14:31
  All right.
• 14:34
  Bruce Wayne says,
• 14:35
  always great to slam dunk on Scott.
• 14:40
  I've been posterized twice.
• 14:43
  All right.
• 14:44
  So then we move to event five,
• 14:46
  which was a snatch ladder event.
• 14:51
  so many crazy finishes like
• 14:54
  for most people this
• 14:56
  workout really came down to
• 14:57
  those last couple that last
• 14:58
  bar oh sure oh my gosh my
• 15:02
  mom is saying go carolyn
• 15:06
  thank you that was a rough
• 15:07
  go this weekend but we're
• 15:09
  here so it seemed like
• 15:16
  unless there were just a
• 15:18
  handful of people that got capped
• 15:20
  And then it was,
• 15:21
  how fast could you get
• 15:22
  through that last barbell
• 15:24
  once you switched over
• 15:27
  midway up the floor to the
• 15:29
  last two rounds on the new barbell?
• 15:32
  And some people did it
• 15:34
  really quick and some
• 15:35
  people struggled a little bit.
• 15:39
  Are you willing to walk us
• 15:40
  through how that felt, Carolyn?
• 15:42
  For me?
• 15:43
  Or just overall as an analyst?
• 15:47
  I'm very impressed with Shelby Neal.
• 15:49
  I think she got a second on that one.
• 15:52
  She's a great lifter.
• 15:53
  When I looked at her do
• 15:54
  clean and jerk last year
• 15:55
  and her snatch last year at the Games,
• 15:59
  for someone who's smaller,
• 16:01
  on the smaller side, she moves very well.
• 16:05
  She had a great finish there.
• 16:08
  For me,
• 16:08
  it was the quads were kind of blown
• 16:10
  up a little bit in my lower
• 16:11
  back as I was progressing through
• 16:17
  like the snatch ladder.
• 16:19
  But yeah, I mean,
• 16:19
  it's impressive how fast
• 16:21
  the girls are just able to
• 16:24
  snatch that weight.
• 16:25
  Like, like you said,
• 16:26
  there's not that many that didn't finish.
• 16:30
  I don't know how that
• 16:30
  compares to the other regions,
• 16:32
  but it seems like there's
• 16:35
  most people ended up
• 16:36
  finishing here than maybe
• 16:38
  some of the other regions.
• 16:40
  Yeah.
• 16:40
  I want to say only like,
• 16:43
  four or five,
• 16:44
  maybe five didn't finish here.
• 16:45
  And I think it's typically
• 16:47
  been 10 to 12 in other regions.
• 16:50
  And one girl, Elena Savage, she withdrew.
• 16:54
  So that's, so five out of 39.
• 16:56
  Yeah.
• 16:57
  Just crazy.
• 16:59
  Cause I did that smash
• 17:00
  ladder in 2016 and I got capped at the
• 17:08
  think I was like seven reps
• 17:09
  at the 145 that year and
• 17:12
  like I finished I mean I
• 17:13
  missed three or four
• 17:14
  snatches today was not a
• 17:16
  not my best day but like
• 17:19
  eight something like late
• 17:20
  eights and like it's like a
• 17:22
  horrible finish which is
• 17:24
  just crazy to think just
• 17:25
  how far sport is like we're
• 17:28
  just so strong
• 17:30
  So I'm going to ask you a
• 17:30
  question and you can slam
• 17:32
  dunk on me again if you want.
• 17:34
  So you hit that last bar and
• 17:36
  you nailed the first snatch.
• 17:39
  Like I was getting excited, like,
• 17:41
  oh my gosh, she's nailing it.
• 17:43
  And then that's when the
• 17:45
  difficulty set in for you.
• 17:47
  Is that a weight that takes
• 17:49
  so much of your energy and
• 17:52
  exertion in that moment
• 17:54
  that it's really hard to
• 17:56
  recover and hit it a second time?
• 17:59
  No,
• 18:00
  I felt fine going back to the barbell
• 18:04
  to reattempt.
• 18:04
  I thought that they were good misses.
• 18:07
  It wasn't like I was getting
• 18:09
  really sucked under the barbell.
• 18:11
  It was like the one I had stepped forward.
• 18:13
  It's a game of inches for snatch.
• 18:15
  I was just a little bit
• 18:17
  ahead of me every time.
• 18:21
  Yeah,
• 18:22
  just a little off in the execution
• 18:25
  all weekend really for me
• 18:26
  was off here and there.
• 18:28
  And in this type of field, it's so good.
• 18:31
  It's so deep.
• 18:32
  You know,
• 18:32
  you miss 10 seconds here and it's
• 18:34
  like five spots here.
• 18:36
  Like it just keeps adding up.
• 18:39
  The field's just too good to
• 18:41
  have a moderate execution.
• 18:46
  We were talking with Brian
• 18:47
  Friend and I don't think
• 18:49
  any of us had seen a
• 18:50
  competition with so many
• 18:52
  close finishes where like
• 18:54
  fractions of a second were
• 18:56
  making the difference in
• 18:58
  three or four spots.
• 18:59
  Absolutely.
• 19:01
  The field was just so deep, right?
• 19:03
  Like this was, in my opinion,
• 19:04
  the deepest of the fields.
• 19:09
  So yeah, like those,
• 19:11
  those points just add up
• 19:12
  over the weekend.
• 19:13
  And like you said,
• 19:14
  there's seconds and it's five people.
• 19:18
  You're like, gosh.
• 19:19
  Yeah.
• 19:20
  Yeah,
• 19:21
  like there were seven one-hundredths
• 19:22
  of a second on the one race.
• 19:24
  Like it's getting down to
• 19:27
  like less than tenths of a second.
• 19:29
  It's so tight with this field.
• 19:34
  Like I told everybody,
• 19:35
  and I actually ran into a
• 19:36
  couple of listeners who
• 19:37
  came to semifinals because
• 19:39
  we talked about it.
• 19:40
  And now they said they're
• 19:41
  never going to the games again.
• 19:42
  They just want to go to semis.
• 19:45
  That's how exciting it was.
• 19:46
  Yeah.
• 19:48
  Yeah, I mean, it was super evident that...
• 19:51
  with the wins, not necessarily wins,
• 19:53
  but times to be being set
• 19:57
  and difficult times to be
• 19:59
  being set early.
• 20:00
  And you don't really get
• 20:04
  that at the games.
• 20:05
  Like you get like a decent
• 20:06
  time and then heat two
• 20:07
  comes and it gets beat.
• 20:09
  And then he three comes and it,
• 20:11
  it gets beat.
• 20:12
  Like, you know,
• 20:12
  each heat is getting better.
• 20:13
  Like it's self-seated and,
• 20:16
  by the end of the day.
• 20:17
  And that w there, there was no way,
• 20:20
  like you weren't going to
• 20:22
  have that no matter how you
• 20:23
  seated this weekend.
• 20:25
  Like there was always going
• 20:26
  to be a top five time out of heat one.
• 20:30
  Yeah.
• 20:31
  Every, every heat was relevant.
• 20:32
  Every, every heat was relevant.
• 20:34
  Um, I still think this seating, oops,
• 20:39
  Can you still see me?
• 20:41
  Sorry, a window popped up.
• 20:43
  I was doing work before here.
• 20:44
  I still think that the
• 20:46
  seating is just messed up
• 20:49
  over the weekend out of all the semis.
• 20:52
  We talked about that,
• 20:53
  like seating after the first workout,
• 20:54
  not seating after the last workout.
• 20:57
  But regardless,
• 20:58
  he's just relevant because
• 20:59
  everyone's good here.
• 21:01
  It also shows you that the
• 21:05
  allotment of spots around
• 21:07
  the world is off.
• 21:11
  Because there's no way that
• 21:15
  this field should have been
• 21:16
  cut at 11 on both sides.
• 21:20
  Including the teams at 8.
• 21:23
  Agreed.
• 21:23
  Completely.
• 21:24
  Because the teams,
• 21:26
  I don't know if you guys talk about teams,
• 21:27
  but the North America East
• 21:29
  teams are taking Invictus
• 21:33
  and maybe one or two teams from Oslo.
• 21:36
  area and a couple teams from
• 21:39
  australia but like north
• 21:41
  america east is always the
• 21:43
  deepest region like those
• 21:45
  other regions might have a
• 21:46
  couple top teams but
• 21:47
  they're not the depth of
• 21:49
  north america east for
• 21:50
  teams so to give them eight
• 21:52
  spots to me is ridiculous
• 21:56
  those teams should have at least 10 to 11
• 22:01
  11, so that Pro 1 gets in there.
• 22:03
  And I was listening.
• 22:04
  I think John and JR were
• 22:06
  talking about of the
• 22:08
  qualifiers from the East,
• 22:10
  how many would have good
• 22:12
  potential to finish in the
• 22:13
  top 10 at the Games?
• 22:15
  And they kind of plotted it
• 22:18
  out and came up with six
• 22:19
  names and really only four
• 22:21
  others in their top 10 from other regions,
• 22:23
  two from the West, two from Europe,
• 22:26
  and six in North America East.
• 22:28
  that's it's a shame that
• 22:30
  north america east isn't
• 22:31
  getting way more people in
• 22:33
  them yeah I agree so so the
• 22:39
  snatch workout comes uh
• 22:42
  it's won by tia tia won
• 22:43
  pretty much everything all
• 22:44
  weekend and then um shelby
• 22:48
  took second on that
• 22:51
  which, like you said, was amazing.
• 22:54
  She really moved well through that ladder.
• 22:57
  Emma Lawson was third.
• 22:59
  Ashley Wozni,
• 23:01
  she was in heat three by then.
• 23:05
  She had moved from heat two
• 23:08
  to heat three at that point
• 23:10
  because she had a great day.
• 23:11
  Probably one of the best
• 23:15
  days out of anyone that competed today.
• 23:17
  And then Lexi Neely was in fifth.
• 23:21
  And Dana had a pretty good
• 23:23
  time out of heat one.
• 23:25
  Yeah.
• 23:25
  I mean,
• 23:25
  she's has that Olympic lifting
• 23:27
  background.
• 23:27
  Um, so there's no surprise there.
• 23:30
  I'm assuming she could have
• 23:31
  gone faster again,
• 23:32
  had she been in a different
• 23:33
  heat and a better heat in
• 23:35
  terms of that workout.
• 23:36
  Um,
• 23:38
  Yeah.
• 23:39
  I mean,
• 23:39
  great finish for Emma Lawson
• 23:41
  showing that as she's, you know,
• 23:43
  getting a little bit older,
• 23:45
  her Olympic lifting is great though.
• 23:47
  Like I'm not sure where her
• 23:48
  raw strength numbers are.
• 23:50
  They are getting, I think stronger,
• 23:52
  but she's a great Olympic lifter.
• 23:55
  Um,
• 23:56
  did well last year also at the games
• 23:57
  during those, those two lifts.
• 24:01
  Yeah.
• 24:02
  She looks,
• 24:03
  she just looks smooth at all
• 24:04
  times on the floor.
• 24:06
  She moves very well.
• 24:08
  Um,
• 24:10
  And there was a point where
• 24:11
  Jamie and I looked at each other.
• 24:12
  We quit picking Tia for Heat
• 24:14
  One App just because it was boring.
• 24:16
  Like, who else is going to?
• 24:21
  Because the game isn't fun
• 24:22
  when it's just Tia, Tia, Tia.
• 24:24
  Yeah,
• 24:25
  they got to switch that up so that
• 24:27
  you can only play her or
• 24:28
  each person eliminated.
• 24:30
  Even each person,
• 24:32
  you can only play like once or twice.
• 24:35
  Agreed.
• 24:38
  um so then we flipped to the
• 24:39
  men's side and another
• 24:41
  person who had a great day
• 24:42
  was jack farlow uh he
• 24:44
  followed up event four and
• 24:48
  his heat win with uh heat
• 24:50
  win in this and his his
• 24:52
  time stood for a long time
• 24:54
  yeah if I remember I think
• 24:57
  till the end you had you
• 25:00
  had jack and then you had
• 25:01
  um he finished fifth in the snatch ladder
• 25:04
  And the only people that
• 25:05
  beat him were the final Heat.
• 25:07
  Those four guys.
• 25:08
  And then you had Joe Piero
• 25:10
  do the touch and go.
• 25:12
  Which that time had to have been up there.
• 25:14
  Top 10, maybe?
• 25:16
  Well, he set the time to beat.
• 25:17
  He was 5.58.
• 25:18
  Oh, 5.58.
• 25:21
  After that.
• 25:21
  And then that was the time to tell Jack.
• 25:23
  And then Jack got it.
• 25:24
  And then nobody in Heat 2
• 25:26
  beat either of them, I believe.
• 25:27
  Correct.
• 25:27
  Or Heat 3.
• 25:28
  And then the final four.
• 25:30
  All right.
• 25:31
  With Hopper, Pepper...
• 25:35
  Was that Cornway?
• 25:36
  Yeah, Cornway.
• 25:37
  Because he got all fired up.
• 25:39
  Yeah.
• 25:40
  And then Kronikoff.
• 25:42
  Yeah,
• 25:42
  Cornway snatches probably his best lift.
• 25:47
  I said to Jamie,
• 25:48
  of all the athletes that had that quiet,
• 25:51
  really solid weekend, it was Sam.
• 25:55
  Yep.
• 25:57
  He just put in the work day
• 26:00
  after day after day,
• 26:01
  and it just paid off at the end.
• 26:03
  I'd say Sam for the boot cycle.
• 26:06
  Keep going.
• 26:08
  Good thing he did because
• 26:09
  event six was his worst
• 26:10
  finish of the weekend.
• 26:13
  And then on the female side,
• 26:14
  I would say Alexis Raptus
• 26:16
  was very quiet all weekend
• 26:17
  but so consistent.
• 26:21
  She was.
• 26:21
  Yeah.
• 26:22
  Yeah.
• 26:25
  So Joey Piero was like my
• 26:28
  favorite athlete to talk to all weekend.
• 26:31
  And he was willing to chat
• 26:32
  me up about every time I passed him.
• 26:36
  And he knows what his
• 26:37
  strengths are and he knows
• 26:37
  what his weaknesses are.
• 26:38
  And he doesn't take any of
• 26:40
  it too seriously at this point.
• 26:42
  And it was just a fun little
• 26:44
  like humorous break from
• 26:47
  everything that was going
• 26:48
  on this weekend.
• 26:50
  You're right, Kenneth.
• 26:51
  Brooke had a really good weekend, too.
• 26:55
  Other than that,
• 26:56
  was it the front squat workout?
• 27:01
  She didn't finish very well,
• 27:02
  but everything else was super solid.
• 27:06
  Daniel Brandon, super solid.
• 27:07
  Yeah.
• 27:08
  Yeah.
• 27:11
  I like the Alexis pick
• 27:12
  because I actually picked
• 27:13
  her to finish second in the
• 27:15
  heat one app and that she did.
• 27:19
  I mean, I was kind of counting Brooke out,
• 27:21
  so she surprised me.
• 27:23
  Yeah.
• 27:26
  So then we go to that.
• 27:30
  We gave the wrong names for
• 27:32
  the snatch ladder.
• 27:35
  I hit the wrong button.
• 27:37
  Jack Rosema won the snatch ladder.
• 27:39
  Right.
• 27:41
  And then it was Sam Cornway in second,
• 27:44
  Pepper in third, Adler in fourth,
• 27:46
  then Farlow in fifth.
• 27:48
  So Farlow actually took two
• 27:50
  fifths back-to-back after
• 27:53
  being in heat one and then heat two.
• 27:59
  And Piero actually finished
• 28:00
  right behind him in sixth.
• 28:03
  So there we go.
• 28:08
  Um...
• 28:11
  So, Lynn,
• 28:12
  I know you're asking about DB and
• 28:13
  the handstand walk.
• 28:14
  We kind of beat that horse
• 28:16
  to death a little bit.
• 28:18
  We beat Scott to death.
• 28:19
  And I'm not bringing it up
• 28:20
  again because I don't need
• 28:21
  to get slammed on.
• 28:24
  It's a rowing workout.
• 28:25
  I'll say it.
• 28:28
  That's why, Lynn.
• 28:30
  Okay.
• 28:31
  So then we go to event six and the women.
• 28:37
  And this, man, tough workout.
• 28:41
  Oh, I've got so many feelings about this.
• 28:45
  So, that's what happens.
• 28:49
  It keeps changing on me.
• 28:51
  Okay.
• 28:52
  So,
• 28:52
  this was the echo bike into the
• 28:54
  muscle-ups into the heavy
• 28:58
  dumbbell lunges.
• 29:01
  I'm going to say this first.
• 29:02
  I'm not an athlete, so I can't say this.
• 29:05
  The judging on this event was atrocious.
• 29:07
  Atrocious.
• 29:09
  Atrocious.
• 29:13
  On the lunges or on the ring muscles?
• 29:15
  On the lunges.
• 29:18
  The inconsistency on how the
• 29:21
  lunges were being called
• 29:22
  across the board was horrific.
• 29:28
  And I'm not an athlete, so I can say that.
• 29:30
  It was horrific.
• 29:33
  Some judges were making you
• 29:35
  come to full extension at
• 29:36
  the top before you swung
• 29:37
  your leg through.
• 29:38
  Others were not.
• 29:42
  Some were letting you rest
• 29:43
  the dumbbells on your thighs,
• 29:44
  which blew me away.
• 29:46
  Others were not.
• 29:47
  As soon as they touched, it was a no rep.
• 29:49
  The line...
• 29:54
  calls were mind-boggling um
• 29:59
  the for this for this great
• 30:02
  weekend to come down to
• 30:04
  whether your judge screwed
• 30:07
  you over or not should not
• 30:08
  be how you get to the games
• 30:10
  and erica folo got mega screwed
• 30:16
  Mega screwed.
• 30:18
  And then once she got the couple no reps,
• 30:20
  she just had no grip left.
• 30:23
  And for her to cap was a shame.
• 30:26
  She came off the muscle ups
• 30:28
  in third place in that heat.
• 30:30
  And they were,
• 30:33
  what they wanted for
• 30:34
  extension was insane.
• 30:37
  She has two 70 pound
• 30:38
  dumbbells in front of her body.
• 30:40
  There's going to be some
• 30:41
  forward lean just naturally
• 30:44
  for any of us.
• 30:47
  And to no rep her for that was appalling.
• 30:51
  Yeah.
• 30:52
  I felt really sad watching her.
• 30:54
  She's like, she had such a good weekend.
• 30:56
  I know this day was a little
• 30:58
  bit tougher with, uh,
• 30:59
  I know her handstand walk was,
• 31:02
  that's like one of her weaknesses,
• 31:03
  maybe like rowing and handstand walk,
• 31:05
  but like she had a great weekend.
• 31:07
  I think really put her name, um,
• 31:10
  like on the board really.
• 31:12
  People are starting to know about her.
• 31:13
  I've known about her for
• 31:14
  many years just because she
• 31:16
  lives close to me.
• 31:17
  So I've kind of seen her
• 31:18
  name pop up and I thought
• 31:21
  she could have gone individual last year.
• 31:22
  So for her to have that
• 31:24
  heartbreak and to come from
• 31:26
  an inside position on the
• 31:27
  last event to an outside
• 31:29
  position is just hard to see that, right?
• 31:34
  But she's very,
• 31:35
  very young and I think the future is very,
• 31:38
  very bright for her.
• 31:41
  I mean,
• 31:43
  the fight kind of goes out in
• 31:44
  somebody when you're no rep like that.
• 31:51
  And you kind of know you
• 31:54
  just lost your shot.
• 31:55
  There's really nothing you
• 31:56
  can do in that moment.
• 31:57
  I know people say just, like, go, finish.
• 32:00
  But, like,
• 32:01
  it was over for her with that call.
• 32:04
  And you can't.
• 32:09
  Like Scott said,
• 32:11
  I do not like that
• 32:13
  someone's fate is in a
• 32:15
  judge's hand when it's not
• 32:17
  consistent across the board.
• 32:18
  Other people did the exact same thing.
• 32:20
  I didn't see her no rep.
• 32:22
  I only saw when she started
• 32:23
  just losing her grip.
• 32:25
  So she got no rep for the
• 32:26
  extension or she just
• 32:28
  didn't make it to the line?
• 32:30
  Extension.
• 32:33
  And there was nothing wrong
• 32:35
  with her extension.
• 32:36
  She just had a forward lean.
• 32:38
  Now,
• 32:38
  what the broadcast probably showed was
• 32:40
  not the initial no reps.
• 32:42
  They probably showed her
• 32:43
  only when she was
• 32:45
  struggling like hell
• 32:46
  because she'd been called
• 32:48
  back three times.
• 32:48
  Yeah.
• 32:51
  It...
• 32:53
  And we were right that we
• 32:54
  were almost parallel with
• 32:55
  her when this was happening.
• 32:59
  I am telling you,
• 32:59
  I've judged in this sport for many years.
• 33:04
  It was a bad call.
• 33:08
  Bruce says watching it live,
• 33:09
  the calls looked right.
• 33:11
  If you say that, Bruce,
• 33:12
  then you didn't see other
• 33:14
  lanes of other heats do the
• 33:18
  exact same thing and get away with it.
• 33:20
  Because people were swinging
• 33:21
  the leg through and not
• 33:22
  coming to full extension on
• 33:23
  steps all the time.
• 33:31
  Bruce, and you're blind.
• 33:32
  I'm telling you.
• 33:32
  He probably didn't see it
• 33:34
  happen to other people.
• 33:35
  He said they showed her the whole time.
• 33:38
  Yes.
• 33:40
  But maybe not the
• 33:41
  Right.
• 33:43
  You may have not seen, like,
• 33:45
  Christopher got no-repped
• 33:47
  the second time his
• 33:48
  dumbbells touched his thighs,
• 33:50
  but they touched his thighs
• 33:53
  a line before that,
• 33:55
  and he didn't get no-repped for it.
• 34:01
  Yeah.
• 34:02
  Oh, Lynn.
• 34:03
  Yeah, they do.
• 34:08
  You can read them.
• 34:08
  And that, so Lynn says, honestly,
• 34:10
  and maybe it's just me,
• 34:12
  I always lean and stand up.
• 34:14
  CrossFit has to release a
• 34:15
  movement standard book or something.
• 34:18
  I could not agree with you more.
• 34:20
  The problem when we argue
• 34:21
  about all these calls there,
• 34:23
  there is no standard movement book.
• 34:26
  There is no, when you say,
• 34:28
  what is the lunge standard?
• 34:31
  We don't know.
• 34:32
  It's dependent on
• 34:36
  It's dependent on whatever
• 34:37
  that competition or this
• 34:39
  stage of the competition
• 34:41
  states is the rule.
• 34:43
  It's a rule, not a standard.
• 34:46
  And that's where I think the
• 34:47
  sport needs to go or we're
• 34:49
  just going to continue to
• 34:50
  complain about this.
• 34:51
  Well,
• 34:51
  and some judges seem to interpret
• 34:54
  those differently.
• 34:56
  Because they change for every competition.
• 35:03
  It's not okay.
• 35:04
  Not in a sprint when there's
• 35:05
  no recovering.
• 35:07
  You no rep one rep on somebody like Colton,
• 35:12
  like Erica.
• 35:17
  You've just changed their fate.
• 35:19
  The hard part about this
• 35:20
  sport is you can't appeal a no rep.
• 35:23
  Yeah.
• 35:25
  That's something that
• 35:26
  we're... I don't know if...
• 35:28
  I know I get...
• 35:29
  it would just be so hard on
• 35:31
  the appeals and scoring
• 35:34
  would take forever,
• 35:35
  but they don't accept any
• 35:37
  videos that you could show them.
• 35:39
  They don't, they don't look at,
• 35:41
  they don't allow you to appeal no reps.
• 35:44
  So like, I wish we had, you know, one,
• 35:48
  one case you can make all weekend.
• 35:50
  You get one pick,
• 35:51
  pick the time that you want to appeal.
• 35:54
  you're no reps, right?
• 35:55
  I don't know.
• 35:56
  Like at a minimum.
• 35:57
  Cause just if,
• 35:58
  when there are calls like that,
• 35:59
  it's just tough.
• 36:02
  And like,
• 36:02
  it's the athlete can't do anything.
• 36:04
  Like we have no, no recourse there.
• 36:08
  No.
• 36:10
  Yeah.
• 36:10
  Train to lift says one
• 36:11
  review should be allowed at this stage.
• 36:12
  A hundred percent.
• 36:18
  Um,
• 36:21
  I'm working with one screen.
• 36:23
  Dang it.
• 36:23
  There we go.
• 36:24
  Would love to see if anyone
• 36:25
  has behind-the-scenes
• 36:26
  videos showing the workout briefings.
• 36:28
  Judges really should be held
• 36:30
  accountable to,
• 36:31
  and CrossFit has to do
• 36:33
  better on that end with the
• 36:35
  appeals process.
• 36:38
  Usually media is not allowed
• 36:39
  in the athlete briefing.
• 36:41
  Well,
• 36:43
  that's the one place the media was
• 36:45
  not allowed was the judges area.
• 36:48
  So we definitely wouldn't be
• 36:49
  there for the judges being
• 36:54
  reviewed the standard and
• 36:56
  discussing that.
• 36:57
  I'm okay with your thought, Kenneth.
• 36:59
  I think three is too many in
• 37:00
  a six event weekend.
• 37:02
  Absolutely.
• 37:04
  One or two tops.
• 37:07
  Yeah.
• 37:07
  And I think people would be
• 37:08
  hesitant to use those early
• 37:10
  on in the weekend, knowing like many,
• 37:12
  many workouts are left and it's like,
• 37:14
  do I use it now?
• 37:15
  You know, but yeah,
• 37:18
  I think max one at least,
• 37:19
  but better than zero.
• 37:24
  Yeah.
• 37:27
  So then to the event on the floor, this,
• 37:31
  this workout was such a killer.
• 37:34
  you watch an ashley wozni go
• 37:37
  unbroken and on her last
• 37:38
  step into the finish line
• 37:42
  goes down on one knee and
• 37:45
  drops the dumbbells and
• 37:46
  then she has to go back the
• 37:48
  12 feet and do that last
• 37:50
  one again that may I know
• 37:52
  she finished near the line
• 37:56
  that may have made a difference
• 38:00
  Anika man every year we get
• 38:06
  to that last event and
• 38:07
  something happens one
• 38:10
  freaking point again
• 38:13
  outside and just like she
• 38:18
  was behind Lexi Neely going
• 38:21
  into that event she beat
• 38:22
  Lexi in the event but at
• 38:25
  the point where they both
• 38:26
  finished it was only a two
• 38:27
  point difference and it was
• 38:29
  a three point lead
• 38:35
  so uh and then on the men's
• 38:41
  side the annika of the
• 38:42
  men's side is tyler christophel
• 38:46
  Honestly, like the whole time,
• 38:48
  Jamie and I are saying,
• 38:49
  all he has to do is finish
• 38:51
  with a decent time.
• 38:53
  Like, just go two blocks,
• 38:57
  drop the dumbbells, shake it out,
• 38:59
  go two more, shake it out,
• 39:01
  get to the end.
• 39:02
  And he just completely blows
• 39:03
  up on that last word.
• 39:05
  And that's all Annika had to do, too.
• 39:07
  She was in a pretty safe position.
• 39:09
  Yeah.
• 39:10
  All she had to do was just play it safe.
• 39:13
  You don't have to go on
• 39:13
  broken on the ring muscle ups.
• 39:15
  You don't have to bike super, super hard.
• 39:18
  And like you said,
• 39:18
  break up your sections and
• 39:20
  just get a decent finish and you're fine.
• 39:24
  So Lex,
• 39:24
  what I saw that Anika did is she
• 39:27
  actually rested the head of
• 39:28
  the dumbbell on her thigh.
• 39:30
  That was the no rep that got called.
• 39:32
  I think that's a legit no rep,
• 39:34
  but Tyler Christoffel did
• 39:36
  it once and didn't get called,
• 39:38
  did it a second time.
• 39:39
  Then they called it.
• 39:41
  That's the inconsistency
• 39:42
  that just is baffling to me.
• 39:46
  And Garty, Sanchez, Christoffel,
• 39:50
  and Annika both, the last couple years,
• 39:52
  just last event curses.
• 39:56
  At this point, that's what it is.
• 39:58
  It's sad to see.
• 40:00
  It is.
• 40:02
  You feel for them so much.
• 40:06
  Like,
• 40:06
  I've been in that position once
• 40:07
  before in 2018 to Chloe.
• 40:09
  Like, it's rough.
• 40:10
  Like, each of us had a bad workout,
• 40:12
  and we're waiting at the end,
• 40:13
  and you're like, did I do enough?
• 40:14
  Did I do enough?
• 40:15
  Like, that's a hard position.
• 40:18
  And to have that happen many, like,
• 40:20
  multiple years in a row, like,
• 40:23
  that's tough.
• 40:26
  I looked at Jamie,
• 40:29
  I think it was yesterday.
• 40:32
  No, it was this morning.
• 40:33
  It was this morning for the
• 40:34
  handstand walk row workout.
• 40:37
  Annika's in a heat with
• 40:39
  Brooke Wells and Emma
• 40:41
  Lawson and Alexis Raptus and Tia Toomey.
• 40:45
  And all the cameras are on Annika.
• 40:48
  No, it was just Annika and Brooke.
• 40:50
  She wasn't in,
• 40:51
  they weren't in the final heat with,
• 40:53
  The row?
• 40:54
  Yeah.
• 40:55
  Okay.
• 40:55
  You're right.
• 40:56
  You're right.
• 40:57
  But there were still like
• 40:57
  big names in that heat.
• 40:59
  Yeah.
• 41:00
  And every camera is on Anika.
• 41:02
  Like why?
• 41:05
  That's, that's just a lot.
• 41:06
  And I don't know.
• 41:08
  It just seemed like a lot.
• 41:15
  Yeah.
• 41:15
  She beat Lexi by one spot.
• 41:17
  So not enough.
• 41:17
  If it was two spots, then she would be,
• 41:19
  have been in that.
• 41:21
  And that comes into play with the follow.
• 41:25
  calls and no reps like could
• 41:27
  she have been that person
• 41:28
  that middled them like not
• 41:31
  only did she get totally
• 41:33
  effed over or maybe she
• 41:36
  didn't maybe you guys all
• 41:37
  agree with it but not only
• 41:38
  did it like I mean and
• 41:41
  that's you don't ever want
• 41:42
  like annika can't rely on
• 41:43
  other people of course she
• 41:44
  needs to just be do what
• 41:46
  she needs to do and be safe but
• 41:49
  The one thing we can say
• 41:50
  this year is Anika.
• 41:52
  It was on her.
• 41:53
  Yeah.
• 41:54
  Like this year, slightly better.
• 41:56
  And it was not an issue, right?
• 41:58
  Right.
• 41:58
  There, there was no bad call this year.
• 42:00
  There was no judgment thing.
• 42:03
  It was,
• 42:03
  she just had to do better on one event.
• 42:06
  Yeah.
• 42:07
  And when, and it could have been the run,
• 42:10
  it could have been the
• 42:10
  snatch ladder one place.
• 42:12
  It was one point at the end
• 42:13
  of the end of the weekend.
• 42:25
  I didn't see her not
• 42:26
  standing up her lunges.
• 42:27
  I didn't either.
• 42:31
  Nathan Wilson says, I'm behind.
• 42:33
  Buffalo was the only one in
• 42:35
  that heat that wasn't
• 42:36
  standing up their lunges.
• 42:39
  And then when she got a no rep,
• 42:40
  she was able to change.
• 42:41
  It was so clearly she could do it.
• 42:44
  Not everybody was calling
• 42:46
  that standing up the lunge
• 42:48
  issue across the board.
• 42:54
  Train to Live says she
• 42:55
  needed to Travis Mare that event.
• 42:57
  Exactly.
• 42:59
  He did great.
• 43:00
  He came in clutch.
• 43:02
  Just had to do enough to get some points.
• 43:08
  So at least this year it
• 43:10
  wasn't in somebody else's hands.
• 43:13
  She had it in her ability to make it.
• 43:18
  But Anika's hair was amazing, though.
• 43:27
  Sucks to see because Anika
• 43:28
  has done so much running this past year.
• 43:31
  But that first workout took no prisoners.
• 43:33
  If you didn't pace well,
• 43:34
  it feels like Farlow got
• 43:36
  caught in that too.
• 43:36
  Absolutely.
• 43:39
  And Carolyn.
• 43:42
  So many people got eaten up by that.
• 43:43
  Went out too hot.
• 43:44
  Went out with the lead pace.
• 43:48
  And round four and five was a disaster.
• 43:54
  I had medical.
• 43:57
  It was bad.
• 43:58
  TK just joined.
• 43:59
  Super stoked for Chloe.
• 44:01
  Had her in my top 10 after
• 44:02
  your podcast that you did with her.
• 44:04
  Scott and I talked about
• 44:08
  Chloe prior to doing that podcast.
• 44:12
  You reached out to me and you're like,
• 44:14
  what are her big holes?
• 44:15
  I was like, no.
• 44:16
  This girl is so good at everything.
• 44:21
  Once the workouts were out,
• 44:23
  Like there was no doubt in
• 44:24
  my mind that she was qualifying.
• 44:26
  No doubt.
• 44:27
  Like this day,
• 44:28
  this day three was made for her.
• 44:31
  It's all of her strengths.
• 44:34
  She's amazing on her hands.
• 44:35
  She's such a good rower.
• 44:37
  She is unreal with snatching
• 44:40
  at high weight.
• 44:41
  Like she has a 200 pound
• 44:42
  snatch and she hits like a
• 44:44
  190 consistently in training.
• 44:46
  She's probably a top three
• 44:47
  in the world in ring muscle-ups.
• 44:49
  I think she can do like 25 unbroken.
• 44:52
  high,
• 44:52
  like high level gymnast and then
• 44:55
  played that right.
• 44:55
  She was one of the slowest
• 44:57
  person off the bike,
• 44:59
  went unbroken on the rings,
• 45:00
  took her time to pick up
• 45:01
  the dumbbells and finished.
• 45:04
  Like she did unbelievable.
• 45:06
  Yeah.
• 45:06
  So let me ask you this.
• 45:07
  Cause you know,
• 45:08
  her as an athlete really well,
• 45:10
  she was coaching a team at
• 45:11
  this event and she was
• 45:13
  taking that very seriously
• 45:15
  on Friday and Saturday when
• 45:16
  they were going.
• 45:21
  How much help was it when
• 45:22
  they were done and she
• 45:24
  could then just focus on herself today?
• 45:26
  Or was it just that's just
• 45:28
  happened to be when the
• 45:29
  workouts were better for her?
• 45:31
  I think the workouts were
• 45:32
  better for her today.
• 45:35
  And on top of it,
• 45:36
  but even with the workouts better for her,
• 45:38
  I still think that the team
• 45:40
  not qualifying like was
• 45:42
  heavy on her heart because
• 45:43
  I had a long talk with her
• 45:44
  this like in the morning.
• 45:45
  And, you know,
• 45:47
  she's invested in in that pro one team.
• 45:50
  Obviously, her boyfriend's on the team.
• 45:53
  Those are her friends on the team.
• 45:54
  So.
• 45:55
  I think it was obviously a
• 45:59
  disappointment for them not to make it.
• 46:02
  So her heart was kind of in both places.
• 46:04
  But I just think she has so
• 46:06
  much natural talent that
• 46:09
  once it's 3-2-1 go,
• 46:10
  she's able to perform.
• 46:15
  So I'm going to ask you one
• 46:16
  more question about her.
• 46:19
  You know, she's supposedly retired,
• 46:22
  as she said on the podcast.
• 46:23
  She just said she was tired, not retired.
• 46:27
  She was just tired.
• 46:29
  Took a little break.
• 46:30
  And then she clarified to
• 46:31
  say she just was going to
• 46:33
  do things in a different
• 46:34
  manner moving forward.
• 46:38
  She wanted a game spot, though, right?
• 46:40
  Like if she's doing this,
• 46:42
  she wanted a game spot.
• 46:46
  I think it's a way for her
• 46:47
  to take the pressure off just to say,
• 46:49
  you know, I'm just kind of participating.
• 46:54
  But, like, she knows she's talented,
• 46:56
  but it's confidence in her.
• 47:00
  And then I think it's just
• 47:01
  not trying to put pressure
• 47:02
  on herself to not choke and
• 47:07
  stuff like that.
• 47:09
  Is she celebrating right now
• 47:10
  that she punched her ticket?
• 47:11
  Yeah.
• 47:16
  Probably, but then again,
• 47:17
  there's probably a part of
• 47:18
  her that's disappointed
• 47:20
  that the team doesn't make it.
• 47:21
  One second.
• 47:22
  I'm going to go grab my
• 47:24
  treat that Lex ordered for me.
• 47:28
  I'm curious what you got.
• 47:31
  If we flip over to the bedside,
• 47:38
  there were a lot of big
• 47:41
  bike boys in that final heat.
• 47:45
  and of all those people who
• 47:47
  would have picked alex
• 47:50
  caron to hammer the bike
• 47:52
  harder than anybody I don't
• 47:53
  know probably you no one me
• 47:56
  that wasn't me I wasn't
• 47:58
  picking him over roman or
• 47:59
  hopper or dallin but he
• 48:03
  holy cow holy cow I bet
• 48:06
  it's ice cream it just
• 48:08
  spilled a little bit everywhere
• 48:13
  Oh, no.
• 48:14
  We'll probably melt it on the trip here.
• 48:16
  Melt it a little bit.
• 48:20
  It's a blizzard.
• 48:24
  I'm drinking it right now.
• 48:27
  Caron came out super, super hot.
• 48:32
  And I was worried then about
• 48:33
  the muscle-ups.
• 48:34
  But they did not seem to
• 48:36
  bother him until the last rep.
• 48:38
  And he somehow pulled it out.
• 48:43
  And then the lunge,
• 48:44
  like he was doing really, really well.
• 48:47
  And tell the no rep.
• 48:49
  Yeah.
• 48:51
  And like everybody seemed to
• 48:52
  drop at the same time.
• 48:56
  A little bit here and there.
• 48:57
  But my dark horse,
• 48:58
  my dark horse that I said
• 49:00
  last week was going to
• 49:01
  qualify for the games was Jack Rosema.
• 49:05
  And Jack Rosema big boyed those dumbbells.
• 49:08
  did the Heinrich Heiplein at
• 49:10
  the finish line,
• 49:12
  stood there with them both in his hand,
• 49:13
  and then threw them to the ground.
• 49:17
  That was awesome.
• 49:19
  Great final.
• 49:19
  So did Dallin, too.
• 49:22
  Yeah.
• 49:23
  Yeah, Dallin's a specimen.
• 49:26
  I don't know when that kid's
• 49:27
  going to take over the sport,
• 49:29
  but he's going to really soon.
• 49:31
  Not under...
• 49:39
  Jeff's washed, though.
• 49:41
  Jeff's good.
• 49:43
  Oh, I picked Jeff to win.
• 49:46
  I think, like,
• 49:48
  you're not the champ until
• 49:49
  you beat the champ.
• 49:50
  But Jeff had a solid weekend, and he won.
• 49:57
  Like,
• 49:57
  everybody was impressed by Roman and
• 49:59
  impressed by Dallin and
• 49:59
  impressed by other people.
• 50:01
  But, dang, Jeff just steady Eddie.
• 50:06
  Well,
• 50:07
  if Dallin would have gotten the win
• 50:08
  that he deserved.
• 50:10
  on the rope time I think but
• 50:14
  it would have been Jeff
• 50:16
  because they both caught no
• 50:17
  reps yeah but okay I guess
• 50:24
  what I should say if Roman
• 50:25
  would have gotten the no
• 50:26
  rep he deserved and Dallin
• 50:27
  would have actually won if
• 50:31
  you didn't step on the line
• 50:32
  though like his was a no
• 50:35
  rep as well right but Roman
• 50:37
  called his did
• 50:39
  Yeah, Roman...
• 50:42
  definitely like was a no rep
• 50:43
  but you couldn't step down
• 50:45
  on the outside you had to
• 50:46
  finish your step down in
• 50:47
  your lane and then you have
• 50:49
  to run across if you step
• 50:51
  down and your foot touches
• 50:52
  the line on any of our box
• 50:54
  jump step downs it was a no
• 50:55
  rep many guys and girls got
• 50:58
  two no reps they would get
• 51:00
  no reps for stepping down
• 51:01
  and having their hands on
• 51:02
  the box ready to move it
• 51:04
  that a lot of people got no
• 51:06
  reps for that without that
• 51:06
  second foot being on the
• 51:08
  ground before the hands touched
• 51:10
  and if your foot touched the
• 51:12
  line at any point so people
• 51:14
  don't jump around a little
• 51:15
  bit or on the corner of a
• 51:17
  box if you step down and
• 51:20
  your foot was outside of
• 51:21
  the line it was a no rep
• 51:23
  you had to finish both
• 51:25
  inside so technically both
• 51:29
  were no reps and they had
• 51:31
  they both sprinted and were exhausted
• 51:35
  jeff would I don't I didn't
• 51:36
  see jeff if he did the same
• 51:37
  thing I'm sure that
• 51:38
  happened on a lot of
• 51:39
  people's last one before
• 51:40
  they sprinted like it had
• 51:42
  because you're just getting
• 51:43
  ready so I was surprised more people
• 51:49
  More people didn't do, I watched,
• 51:51
  I don't even know who it was,
• 51:52
  but I think it was in heat too.
• 51:54
  A guy,
• 51:56
  because you always were running to
• 51:58
  your box, doing your 10 box jump overs,
• 52:00
  finishing and running back to your rope.
• 52:03
  And I watched one guy out of
• 52:04
  one heat run past the box,
• 52:07
  do his box jumps.
• 52:09
  And so he was done and ran in.
• 52:15
  I am very surprised more
• 52:16
  people didn't do that.
• 52:18
  so that you didn't have that
• 52:18
  issue of running around the box.
• 52:21
  You had to go around the box at some point,
• 52:22
  right?
• 52:22
  Why not before?
• 52:26
  Good point.
• 52:28
  Yeah.
• 52:31
  It's been brought up in the
• 52:32
  chat by Helson.
• 52:35
  Says Stovall had a great weekend.
• 52:39
  Yeah, he did.
• 52:40
  Yeah.
• 52:43
  got to interview seth and
• 52:45
  dre photobombed it uh which
• 52:47
  was like a fun fun thing to
• 52:49
  catch on camera um the two
• 52:51
  of them seem to be having
• 52:52
  like a friendly rivalry
• 52:54
  kind of like roman and and
• 52:56
  pepper with with the bike
• 52:58
  stuff uh dre and uh seth
• 53:01
  were trading blows all
• 53:02
  weekend long with each
• 53:04
  other and I think it made
• 53:05
  them both great and both
• 53:07
  relaxed for the weekend
• 53:11
  Yeah,
• 53:12
  there's a bunch of Mayhem boys in
• 53:14
  that top five for that last workout.
• 53:17
  Yeah.
• 53:17
  Yeah.
• 53:18
  They dominated that one.
• 53:19
  I think just Dallin was the
• 53:20
  only one that wasn't Mayhem
• 53:21
  in that top five.
• 53:23
  Yeah.
• 53:24
  And would you have picked
• 53:26
  Seth to go unbroken on that lunge?
• 53:30
  Or Dre?
• 53:34
  Wow.
• 53:34
  They must do a lot of pharma
• 53:35
  carries at Mayhem.
• 53:39
  because that seemed to be good for them.
• 53:42
  Yeah.
• 53:44
  How many athletes are
• 53:45
  working on farmer's carries
• 53:46
  between now and Fort Worth?
• 53:49
  Well,
• 53:49
  you've seen the step-ups at
• 53:50
  quarterfinals.
• 53:52
  You've seen now the lunging
• 53:54
  with the farmer position.
• 53:56
  So maybe you'll see some
• 53:57
  sort of walking with maybe
• 54:00
  axle bars or something.
• 54:01
  I don't know,
• 54:02
  some sort of progression there.
• 54:06
  Nathan Wilson said,
• 54:08
  I don't think anybody would
• 54:10
  have picked Dre to get
• 54:11
  second on event six.
• 54:17
  So that was fun.
• 54:18
  So at the end of the weekend,
• 54:20
  we have 11 people who have
• 54:22
  punched their tickets to
• 54:23
  the CrossFit Games.
• 54:24
  We've alluded to some of it along the way,
• 54:27
  but I will read the names very quickly.
• 54:32
  On the women's side,
• 54:34
  You have Tia Claire Toomey, Alexis Raptus,
• 54:36
  Emma Lawson, Danielle Brandon,
• 54:39
  Shelby Neal, Haley Adams, Brooke Wells,
• 54:42
  Paige Semenza, Chloe Gavin-David,
• 54:46
  Caroline Stanley, and Lexi Neely.
• 54:54
  On the men's side, we have... Oh, wow.
• 55:03
  Sure we do.
• 55:04
  We have Jeff Adler, Dallin Pepper,
• 55:07
  Roman Krennikoff, Jason Hopper,
• 55:09
  Samuel Korniat, Jack Rosema,
• 55:12
  Saxon Pancheck, Austin Hadfield,
• 55:15
  Alexander Caron, Travis Mayer,
• 55:18
  and Luke Parker.
• 55:21
  I truly thought Luke had
• 55:22
  lost it in the last event,
• 55:24
  but there was a big enough
• 55:26
  points difference between
• 55:27
  him and Seth to hold him
• 55:29
  off as he was able to do that.
• 55:32
  I know Lex was in the chat
• 55:33
  earlier saying that Austin
• 55:34
  Hatfield had a great weekend, and he did.
• 55:38
  You know,
• 55:39
  everybody's compared him to... First,
• 55:41
  let me give a shout-out to my co-host,
• 55:44
  Jamie Latimer,
• 55:45
  who picked Austin last year
• 55:47
  as her dark horse pick.
• 55:51
  Before anybody really even
• 55:52
  knew who this guy was,
• 55:53
  before John Young inducted
• 55:55
  him into the Hall of Fame...
• 56:00
  Jamie was calling Austin
• 56:01
  Hatfield last year.
• 56:04
  So she called it early.
• 56:06
  It came to fruition this year.
• 56:08
  It was really cool.
• 56:11
  But he's taller than I –
• 56:13
  when everybody compares him to Colton,
• 56:15
  he definitely is a head above Colton.
• 56:19
  Like there's definitely some
• 56:21
  more height to this guy.
• 56:22
  Yeah.
• 56:26
  Is there two rookies for the men?
• 56:29
  Jack and Austin?
• 56:31
  Yeah.
• 56:33
  And two for the woman?
• 56:36
  No.
• 56:37
  Lex.
• 56:38
  One.
• 56:38
  Neely.
• 56:39
  Just her.
• 56:41
  I think so.
• 56:44
  I think just her.
• 56:46
  Yeah, just one.
• 56:47
  Travis Mayer's not a rookie?
• 56:48
  Oh, wait.
• 56:53
  Women.
• 56:55
  Yeah, just one rookie for the girls.
• 56:57
  Yeah.
• 56:58
  Yeah, that's it because Shelby's been,
• 57:01
  Carolyn Stanley's been.
• 57:04
  Chloe's been.
• 57:05
  Yeah, Chloe's been.
• 57:06
  Yep.
• 57:09
  Heard athletics in the house.
• 57:12
  Chloe got on David.
• 57:13
  Is that three goats?
• 57:15
  I don't have my glasses on.
• 57:19
  Is that three poodles, three goats?
• 57:23
  I have no idea.
• 57:28
  Both male rookies were at crash.
• 57:31
  That's true.
• 57:32
  Sorry if I missed it.
• 57:33
  Any surprises with Barnhart and fee out?
• 57:36
  So whatever Wednesday, I don't know.
• 57:40
  Last week when we were
• 57:40
  talking and made our picks,
• 57:43
  I said it was either going
• 57:45
  one of the girls, Brooke or Amanda,
• 57:48
  we're going to be out.
• 57:49
  The shoulder was going to
• 57:50
  give them troubles this weekend.
• 57:52
  So no,
• 57:52
  it's not a surprise for me that
• 57:53
  Barnhart is out.
• 57:55
  Yeah.
• 57:56
  I think that.
• 57:58
  Amanda has had a lot of life changes,
• 58:00
  plus shoulder surgery.
• 58:02
  She didn't have surgery.
• 58:04
  Shoulder recovery that was
• 58:08
  well documented.
• 58:09
  She didn't even get up into
• 58:10
  rings until a couple months ago.
• 58:13
  So yeah, that's not a shock.
• 58:19
  I think Fi is just so
• 58:20
  program-dependent right now.
• 58:22
  She's trying to change that,
• 58:23
  but that doesn't happen overnight.
• 58:26
  I was impressed she finished
• 58:27
  the snatch ladder.
• 58:27
  I think that is a marked improvement.
• 58:32
  And I love Fi.
• 58:33
  I love that girl to death.
• 58:34
  But right now,
• 58:36
  until she closes up some holes,
• 58:38
  very program-dependent.
• 58:44
  Agree.
• 58:47
  Uh...
• 58:48
  I would say most of the
• 58:49
  field is program dependent, though.
• 58:52
  Yeah, outside of your top five or six.
• 58:55
  Outside of your top five, top six.
• 58:57
  Honestly, it's all program dependent.
• 58:59
  I agree.
• 59:00
  We all have holes,
• 59:01
  and it just depends what
• 59:02
  the workouts are.
• 59:05
  Yeah.
• 59:07
  Some weekends favor certain athletes.
• 59:09
  Some weekends favor others.
• 59:11
  Sometimes you just have bad execution,
• 59:12
  but for a lot of us,
• 59:13
  it's program dependent.
• 59:16
  So, Garty...
• 59:20
  Poking funny from the pod last week,
• 59:21
  Emma is not on Tia's level.
• 59:24
  I did not say that Emma
• 59:25
  would beat her at semifinals.
• 59:28
  My semifinal pick was Tia, Alexis, Emma,
• 59:33
  Danielle, which is what happened.
• 59:36
  I said that Emma was going
• 59:37
  to beat Tia at the games,
• 59:39
  and that is still TBD.
• 59:41
  That is not even TBD.
• 59:43
  There is zero shot.
• 59:46
  It is still TBD.
• 59:47
  I have my reasons.
• 59:49
  Okay.
• 59:50
  Oh,
• 59:51
  you think Tia's going to pop here at
• 59:53
  semis?
• 59:53
  No, I don't think Tia's going to pop.
• 59:58
  I think it's a lot of work
• 59:59
  on the body to be a games athlete,
• 1:00:01
  and you can never know when
• 1:00:03
  something happens.
• 1:00:04
  No, she'll be fine.
• 1:00:06
  All right,
• 1:00:06
  and I guess it was zebras that
• 1:00:10
  were in the chat.
• 1:00:15
  Dex is in the chat.
• 1:00:17
  He was supposed to be here
• 1:00:17
  being my videographer, but, man,
• 1:00:20
  can't find a babysitter in Birmingham,
• 1:00:22
  apparently.
• 1:00:24
  He was surprised Fee is out, to be honest.
• 1:00:35
  big difference there is that
• 1:00:36
  lexi had two really really
• 1:00:39
  good finishes inside the
• 1:00:40
  top five like lexi has a
• 1:00:42
  second and a fifth and that
• 1:00:43
  just gets so many points
• 1:00:46
  like phi was pretty
• 1:00:47
  consistent overall but she
• 1:00:49
  never got anything better
• 1:00:50
  than a tenth and normally
• 1:00:52
  that's good enough to
• 1:00:53
  qualify but when you get
• 1:00:55
  like these top five point
• 1:00:57
  like when an athlete in
• 1:00:58
  this field in north america
• 1:01:00
  east can get a top five
• 1:01:02
  It is huge.
• 1:01:04
  They can get almost like all
• 1:01:06
  30s after that,
• 1:01:06
  but they'll be like 20th
• 1:01:07
  place because they got a
• 1:01:09
  huge amount of points that
• 1:01:11
  rarely anyone gets on those
• 1:01:12
  top five athletes.
• 1:01:14
  And Lexi was able to do two
• 1:01:16
  finishes in the top five.
• 1:01:17
  Like that was the main
• 1:01:18
  difference right there.
• 1:01:20
  Overall,
• 1:01:21
  like Fi was pretty consistent
• 1:01:23
  throughout the weekend.
• 1:01:24
  She had one bad finish with
• 1:01:25
  the row and handstand walk,
• 1:01:27
  which is expected.
• 1:01:27
  She's one of the smaller athletes overall.
• 1:01:30
  on the field.
• 1:01:31
  Um,
• 1:01:32
  but you like in these types of weekends,
• 1:01:35
  consistency can get you pretty far,
• 1:01:38
  but when you can get a top five finish,
• 1:01:40
  like you could just get so
• 1:01:41
  many points there and she
• 1:01:43
  just never had anything in the top 10.
• 1:01:46
  Dex says,
• 1:01:47
  apparently Carolyn has passed the
• 1:01:48
  ball to Dex.
• 1:01:49
  Dex says 100%.
• 1:01:51
  Carolyn,
• 1:01:52
  everybody is a specialist when
• 1:01:55
  shit they love to see show up.
• 1:02:00
  And so now I'm being slam
• 1:02:01
  dunked on by Dex.
• 1:02:06
  Dexter's heavy lift and bike
• 1:02:08
  sprint and circus gymnastics.
• 1:02:11
  That's what he loves to see show up.
• 1:02:19
  some preferences on who
• 1:02:20
  people wanted to see.
• 1:02:22
  Kenneth, Taylor self-thoughts,
• 1:02:24
  haven't mentioned him.
• 1:02:26
  I don't mention him a lot,
• 1:02:27
  and it's not because I have
• 1:02:27
  anything against him.
• 1:02:29
  He is who he is.
• 1:02:30
  But he has covered a lot on
• 1:02:33
  other media platforms.
• 1:02:35
  So I like to cover the other
• 1:02:36
  people as well.
• 1:02:38
  But I thought he had a solid weekend.
• 1:02:40
  The guys didn't plan on coming this far,
• 1:02:43
  and he did,
• 1:02:43
  and he represented himself well.
• 1:02:49
  Yeah, I thought he did great.
• 1:02:51
  Similar to Fi.
• 1:02:52
  He never had, like,
• 1:02:54
  he got two ninth places,
• 1:02:55
  but wasn't able to get, like,
• 1:02:58
  really a top five finish, right?
• 1:03:05
  Yeah.
• 1:03:06
  That front squat workout is
• 1:03:07
  where he lost most of his points.
• 1:03:09
  Yep.
• 1:03:11
  And now Dex throws me the ball.
• 1:03:12
  I think Emma isn't a
• 1:03:14
  semifinal programming
• 1:03:15
  baller like she is at the games.
• 1:03:18
  Very different.
• 1:03:19
  Thank you, Dex, for the assist.
• 1:03:27
  Tia should compete in the men's field.
• 1:03:33
  Lexi hit some home runs for
• 1:03:35
  the cushion for sure.
• 1:03:40
  And this is really where Fi
• 1:03:41
  got hurt was the handstand row workout,
• 1:03:44
  which was actually kind of surprising.
• 1:03:46
  Yeah.
• 1:03:47
  No, it's not.
• 1:03:51
  She's five foot something.
• 1:03:53
  She's not going to pull the rower as much.
• 1:03:56
  Oh, I forgot.
• 1:03:57
  I forgot that I was... I
• 1:03:59
  don't know how her speed is
• 1:04:01
  on the handstand walk,
• 1:04:02
  but I don't think she's a
• 1:04:04
  speedster like Danielle, Annika.
• 1:04:07
  There's a lot of good
• 1:04:08
  gymnasts in our field.
• 1:04:09
  Very good gymnasts on their hands.
• 1:04:12
  Hayley Adams.
• 1:04:15
  So if you don't have...
• 1:04:17
  Like a 150 row on like that 800 one.
• 1:04:21
  Like it's,
• 1:04:22
  I'm not that surprised on that
• 1:04:23
  rowing workout.
• 1:04:26
  I think she could have been
• 1:04:26
  close to the 152 range and
• 1:04:31
  been competitive.
• 1:04:32
  She rode very hard in the
• 1:04:35
  quarterfinals workout.
• 1:04:36
  Yes, she did.
• 1:04:39
  annika surprised on the
• 1:04:40
  machine she is about five
• 1:04:41
  foot one she did she really
• 1:04:44
  surprised me so I they must
• 1:04:47
  they have been working on
• 1:04:48
  that a lot apparently um
• 1:04:51
  yeah she was holding like
• 1:04:53
  155 I think on the 800 I
• 1:04:56
  think I saw on the screen
• 1:04:58
  she was just a tick behind
• 1:04:59
  brooke on that holding very
• 1:05:02
  close to brooke it was crazy
• 1:05:05
  Yeah, but if you look at her face,
• 1:05:07
  I don't even think she saw the monitor.
• 1:05:08
  She had her eyes closed.
• 1:05:10
  It was a pained look because
• 1:05:13
  I think she had to give
• 1:05:14
  everything she had to keep that pace.
• 1:05:21
  Everybody's saying Tia's unbeatable.
• 1:05:23
  We'll see at the games.
• 1:05:25
  You heard it here first.
• 1:05:29
  Lynn says, this is to Dan Church,
• 1:05:33
  Nick Matthews mentioned
• 1:05:34
  before that once you've
• 1:05:35
  locked in as a games athlete,
• 1:05:37
  your system and abilities
• 1:05:38
  are in sync like nothing else.
• 1:05:40
  That's why she's so dominant like Matt.
• 1:05:48
  I don't know if I agree with that.
• 1:05:52
  Houston, Texas, 94.
• 1:05:54
  My wife and I traveled out here for semis,
• 1:05:57
  and the parity between
• 1:05:58
  places 6th through 15th the
• 1:06:00
  entire weekend on both
• 1:06:01
  sides made it worth it.
• 1:06:07
  I'm also not the hugest fan
• 1:06:10
  of three workouts on day,
• 1:06:13
  like half of your event on day three.
• 1:06:16
  There's so much mix up.
• 1:06:23
  To not recede also before the final.
• 1:06:25
  That sucks.
• 1:06:28
  Yeah.
• 1:06:29
  And I know nobody cares,
• 1:06:31
  but from a media perspective,
• 1:06:32
  there's no time.
• 1:06:34
  There's no time between
• 1:06:35
  events to talk to anybody,
• 1:06:37
  to get any content uploaded,
• 1:06:40
  to do anything like that.
• 1:06:42
  It really does kind of put
• 1:06:43
  us behind the eight ball.
• 1:06:47
  Yeah.
• 1:06:50
  Dan Church says, honestly, though,
• 1:06:51
  I had no idea what was
• 1:06:52
  going on in the podium spots.
• 1:06:54
  The cut line was the exciting part.
• 1:06:56
  That's what makes semifinals great.
• 1:07:00
  It's the cut line.
• 1:07:02
  It's great to see the top
• 1:07:04
  dogs out there doing what they're doing.
• 1:07:06
  The tension and the drama
• 1:07:08
  behind the cut line is
• 1:07:10
  worth the price of
• 1:07:11
  admission to semifinals.
• 1:07:15
  And it did not disappoint
• 1:07:16
  one bit this weekend.
• 1:07:20
  speaking of the price of
• 1:07:21
  admission what'd you guys
• 1:07:22
  think about the fans here
• 1:07:25
  so good so not just good
• 1:07:29
  but great the vendor
• 1:07:31
  village was packed the
• 1:07:32
  community event was cool
• 1:07:34
  the um the stands filled
• 1:07:39
  there was a great crowd on friday
• 1:07:44
  An even better crowd on Saturday.
• 1:07:46
  And usually that dips on Sunday,
• 1:07:48
  but it did not dip today.
• 1:07:51
  The house was pretty packed.
• 1:07:52
  Well, half your events were today.
• 1:07:54
  So if you came to watch any
• 1:07:55
  of the individuals,
• 1:07:56
  you kind of needed to be here today.
• 1:07:58
  Do you think having only
• 1:08:00
  individuals go on Sunday,
• 1:08:02
  even though you hate your three events,
• 1:08:05
  made the crowds better?
• 1:08:06
  I don't know, honestly.
• 1:08:09
  The crowds yesterday for teams was hype.
• 1:08:15
  It was, I'll give you that.
• 1:08:16
  Like the cheers,
• 1:08:17
  the groups in their shirts, like,
• 1:08:20
  and you had a little of that today.
• 1:08:22
  Like you had Hatfield's crowd,
• 1:08:24
  you had Haley's crowd for sure.
• 1:08:25
  That was really evident,
• 1:08:27
  but I thought the team contingent maybe,
• 1:08:33
  maybe outweighed the individual fans.
• 1:08:42
  I was here in 22 and 21.
• 1:08:44
  The crowds weren't like that.
• 1:08:47
  Like, we've definitely moved forward here.
• 1:08:49
  And please,
• 1:08:50
  let's never go back to
• 1:08:51
  California again for a semifinal.
• 1:08:54
  Because that did not work.
• 1:08:58
  I agree with Kenneth here.
• 1:09:00
  Where you pick your semifinals,
• 1:09:02
  you have to pick by where
• 1:09:04
  there's a big community of
• 1:09:06
  CrossFitters that are going to travel.
• 1:09:08
  The Mayhem group here in
• 1:09:10
  Tennessee are going to travel.
• 1:09:12
  It's not that far away,
• 1:09:14
  so that affiliate's going to travel.
• 1:09:17
  You have to pick cities that, first of all,
• 1:09:20
  it's easy to get to, it's cheap,
• 1:09:23
  and there's a lot of good
• 1:09:24
  affiliates around.
• 1:09:26
  It was only a five-hour
• 1:09:27
  drive from Columbus.
• 1:09:30
  It's only an hour drive to North Carolina.
• 1:09:33
  It's not that far to Georgia
• 1:09:35
  with the training think tank crew.
• 1:09:39
  You have a lot of hot spots.
• 1:09:40
  Yes, Mayhem's an hour and a half away,
• 1:09:43
  but there's other big
• 1:09:44
  hotbeds for CrossFit in
• 1:09:46
  this surrounding area.
• 1:09:49
  But Mayhem was loud.
• 1:09:51
  But Haley's from North Carolina,
• 1:09:53
  and I think she brought more.
• 1:09:55
  But what I'm saying is like,
• 1:09:57
  what I'm saying is wherever
• 1:09:59
  the location is,
• 1:10:00
  let's put it by one of
• 1:10:01
  those places where you know
• 1:10:04
  that that type of community
• 1:10:05
  is going to come.
• 1:10:10
  Eighth day team had
• 1:10:10
  incredible performances
• 1:10:12
  from the first heat.
• 1:10:13
  Yeah,
• 1:10:13
  we talked about that a lot yesterday.
• 1:10:15
  They went from the first
• 1:10:16
  heat to fourth place overall,
• 1:10:19
  which was pretty freaking astounding.
• 1:10:22
  And Jamie's close to them
• 1:10:23
  because they live near her in Michigan.
• 1:10:27
  So we talked to them a lot
• 1:10:29
  after the event.
• 1:10:33
  Super impressed with Alexis
• 1:10:35
  Raptus making some small
• 1:10:36
  mistakes in workouts and
• 1:10:37
  still sticking with it and
• 1:10:39
  finishing strong silent assassin.
• 1:10:42
  She just keeps getting better.
• 1:10:43
  Yeah.
• 1:10:49
  Garty says, agree.
• 1:10:50
  Love the opportunity to go
• 1:10:52
  back to Carson for historical purposes,
• 1:10:54
  but we've exhausted the
• 1:10:55
  options in California.
• 1:10:56
  Yes.
• 1:10:57
  Agree.
• 1:10:57
  It's too expensive.
• 1:10:59
  Travel that like flights there.
• 1:11:03
  are expensive hotels.
• 1:11:05
  They're expensive.
• 1:11:06
  Literally everything there.
• 1:11:07
  Every time I would text WAD zombie,
• 1:11:09
  he said, California fans don't show up.
• 1:11:11
  Yeah.
• 1:11:12
  So what's going to happen
• 1:11:13
  with Wadapalooza SoCal?
• 1:11:15
  Do people want to travel to
• 1:11:17
  California in the summer?
• 1:11:18
  I have no idea.
• 1:11:20
  It'll be, it'll be interesting, right?
• 1:11:23
  Cause people like to go to
• 1:11:24
  Wadapalooza like in Florida,
• 1:11:27
  like in January,
• 1:11:28
  because for a lot of people
• 1:11:30
  it's winter time, right?
• 1:11:31
  Like, yeah.
• 1:11:33
  but I don't know uh lex says
• 1:11:38
  novel concept what if they
• 1:11:39
  did semis in the cities
• 1:11:41
  with the most sign ups
• 1:11:42
  through the season maybe
• 1:11:46
  through the previous season
• 1:11:47
  so that they can actually
• 1:11:48
  plan ahead because I think
• 1:11:49
  they would need well do
• 1:11:51
  they plan ahead I don't
• 1:11:52
  know but um ideally ideally
• 1:11:56
  you would look at the the
• 1:11:58
  past season if you want
• 1:11:59
  your semi-finals to be close by you know
• 1:12:03
  And then let's book it last minute,
• 1:12:05
  and let's book it the same
• 1:12:06
  weekend as something else.
• 1:12:09
  Memorial Day weekend?
• 1:12:10
  Yeah.
• 1:12:13
  The problem is they don't plan ahead,
• 1:12:15
  and they're stuck with
• 1:12:15
  dates and venues that they
• 1:12:17
  can get last minute.
• 1:12:21
  You know?
• 1:12:23
  that's that's where it sucks
• 1:12:26
  but I think that is a good
• 1:12:27
  idea I was worried because
• 1:12:29
  in knoxville didn't really
• 1:12:31
  show up in 22 well they
• 1:12:34
  tried to do that
• 1:12:35
  back-to-back thing here in
• 1:12:37
  22 and it I think it split
• 1:12:39
  the crowd yeah but this
• 1:12:43
  this year was freaking
• 1:12:44
  awesome I think the vendors
• 1:12:47
  were happy I heard they
• 1:12:48
  were selling out stuff like on friday
• 1:12:57
  And like Northern Spirit,
• 1:12:59
  they hooked up like the judges,
• 1:13:01
  the volunteers, the athletes,
• 1:13:03
  like it's like I mentioned
• 1:13:06
  this last time during I
• 1:13:07
  think the West Coast, but I mean,
• 1:13:09
  it's great to see a sponsor at least,
• 1:13:11
  you know, give that to the athletes.
• 1:13:13
  Are you guys sponsored by Northern Spirit,
• 1:13:16
  Jamie, for the Masters games?
• 1:13:19
  Yes.
• 1:13:19
  Yes.
• 1:13:22
  The logo, like,
• 1:13:23
  that logo is growing on me.
• 1:13:24
  Like, the way that it was saying, you know,
• 1:13:26
  the CrossFit Games semifinals.
• 1:13:27
  Like, it's very easy to see.
• 1:13:31
  Like,
• 1:13:31
  I remember at the beginning of the season,
• 1:13:33
  we weren't sure about the
• 1:13:34
  logo and if a kid drew it and stuff.
• 1:13:37
  But, like, it's growing on me.
• 1:13:41
  I heard the Masters, though,
• 1:13:42
  are getting the French
• 1:13:43
  striped T-shirts for their uniforms.
• 1:13:49
  So they can all be mimes.
• 1:13:52
  Linda Jerry says, also,
• 1:13:54
  I don't know if they did an analysis,
• 1:13:56
  but most of the people I
• 1:13:56
  talked to were less than
• 1:13:58
  five years in the sport.
• 1:14:00
  No nostalgia isn't a good
• 1:14:02
  catch if most of the attendees are newer.
• 1:14:05
  That's a good point.
• 1:14:08
  Very good point.
• 1:14:11
  Lex says,
• 1:14:11
  do you think more people would
• 1:14:12
  come if it was at the ranch
• 1:14:14
  versus Carson?
• 1:14:17
  No.
• 1:14:18
  There's no seating there.
• 1:14:20
  Are there hotels around the ranch?
• 1:14:22
  No.
• 1:14:23
  Well, then no.
• 1:14:25
  Sebastian says,
• 1:14:26
  was looking forward to Laura versus Tia,
• 1:14:28
  but after this, not so much.
• 1:14:30
  No.
• 1:14:35
  uh houston texas 294 tons of
• 1:14:39
  young families there this
• 1:14:40
  weekend tons including the
• 1:14:43
  mayor kids surprising their
• 1:14:45
  dad watching him compete
• 1:14:46
  for the first time that was
• 1:14:47
  adorable that was cute they
• 1:14:49
  got so pumped when his when
• 1:14:51
  his name got called at the
• 1:14:51
  end what if they moved to
• 1:14:56
  bidding for locations I i think
• 1:15:02
  I don't know.
• 1:15:03
  I feel like the whole
• 1:15:03
  season's going to change next year.
• 1:15:06
  Yep.
• 1:15:09
  Who knows?
• 1:15:10
  There might not even be
• 1:15:11
  CrossFit next year.
• 1:15:13
  Lord Wang says,
• 1:15:15
  I'd be more likely to
• 1:15:16
  volunteer if they gave a
• 1:15:17
  different color shirt for each day.
• 1:15:20
  Well,
• 1:15:20
  I think the problem with that is each
• 1:15:23
  group of volunteers get a
• 1:15:25
  different color.
• 1:15:27
  So you know what judge is blue,
• 1:15:29
  medical is red,
• 1:15:30
  athlete control is
• 1:15:31
  generally like a baby blue or yellow.
• 1:15:35
  Like they actually,
• 1:15:35
  so you can identify what
• 1:15:38
  role that volunteer has for the weekend.
• 1:15:44
  But I talked to volunteers.
• 1:15:45
  They said it is the most
• 1:15:46
  hooked up they have ever
• 1:15:48
  been for any event doing volunteering.
• 1:15:59
  Kenneth asks, what about Boise?
• 1:16:02
  They've got a lot of
• 1:16:03
  CrossFit gyms in Idaho and
• 1:16:05
  Salt Lake city in that area
• 1:16:08
  in the Pacific Northwest.
• 1:16:10
  I don't think that'd be a bad option.
• 1:16:11
  Yeah.
• 1:16:13
  That or, or Vegas.
• 1:16:14
  I mean, Vegas is,
• 1:16:16
  I would think a smarter choice.
• 1:16:17
  It's they have cheap flights to Vegas.
• 1:16:22
  Yeah.
• 1:16:22
  Like there's always a lot
• 1:16:23
  going on in Vegas, but it's still,
• 1:16:24
  it's so cheap that I think
• 1:16:26
  that's an easy way for
• 1:16:27
  people to just go there.
• 1:16:29
  Yeah.
• 1:16:30
  I agree.
• 1:16:31
  And when they had the West
• 1:16:32
  Coast Classic there,
• 1:16:34
  the hotel attached to the
• 1:16:36
  venue was not expensive.
• 1:16:39
  It's off the strip,
• 1:16:40
  so you're not paying the
• 1:16:41
  big prices of the strip.
• 1:16:44
  And you could walk down from
• 1:16:45
  your hotel room and into the venue.
• 1:16:46
  That's awesome.
• 1:16:49
  Exactly.
• 1:16:50
  Yeah.
• 1:16:52
  Plus,
• 1:16:52
  the casino had five restaurants in it,
• 1:16:54
  so you didn't even have to
• 1:16:55
  leave the building the
• 1:16:57
  entire time you were there, which was,
• 1:16:58
  thank God, because it was 118 degrees.
• 1:17:04
  Lex says Reno.
• 1:17:05
  The only thing I know about
• 1:17:06
  Reno is from Johnny Cash.
• 1:17:12
  Dallin proved he can fight
• 1:17:14
  with Jeff and Roman.
• 1:17:17
  Yep.
• 1:17:18
  Absolutely.
• 1:17:21
  And HQ should just consult
• 1:17:22
  with this channel.
• 1:17:24
  I talked to Dave this weekend.
• 1:17:29
  He welcomed me to the
• 1:17:29
  semifinal and asked if
• 1:17:30
  there's anything he could do for me.
• 1:17:33
  Did you ask him for a pass for the games?
• 1:17:37
  I did not.
• 1:17:38
  I just said I have a list.
• 1:17:40
  I'll get back with you at
• 1:17:42
  the end of the weekend.
• 1:17:43
  You had your opportunity, Scott.
• 1:17:47
  And just to follow up on yesterday.
• 1:17:51
  and my beef with Little Miss Puffy Pants.
• 1:17:56
  I did not run into that today,
• 1:17:58
  but I want to make it clear.
• 1:17:59
  Yes, I said Lauren Khalil's name.
• 1:18:02
  Yes, I said Patrick Clark's name.
• 1:18:03
  I don't have beef with the two of them.
• 1:18:05
  I have beef that they never
• 1:18:09
  get talked to the way that
• 1:18:11
  we get talked to.
• 1:18:14
  We follow the procedures and get lectured.
• 1:18:17
  They don't follow the procedures,
• 1:18:18
  and nobody says a word to them.
• 1:18:21
  So my beef isn't with them.
• 1:18:23
  My beef is with the way that
• 1:18:25
  everything is administered.
• 1:18:28
  It's like me in no reps on the floor,
• 1:18:32
  right?
• 1:18:34
  Right.
• 1:18:34
  My beef technically is with
• 1:18:36
  the judges not being consistent.
• 1:18:38
  Correct.
• 1:18:39
  Yes.
• 1:18:40
  Well,
• 1:18:40
  my beef with that is that CrossFit
• 1:18:42
  has not made a standard on anything.
• 1:18:45
  So it's hard on the judges.
• 1:18:47
  Okay.
• 1:18:51
  But today,
• 1:18:51
  no security was called on me
• 1:18:54
  today like yesterday.
• 1:18:56
  No,
• 1:18:56
  I didn't have to talk to the head of
• 1:18:58
  media.
• 1:18:59
  None of that stuff happened today.
• 1:19:01
  We were just chill and cool.
• 1:19:03
  And even though Miss Puffy
• 1:19:05
  Pants was back at her stage
• 1:19:07
  holding down the fort,
• 1:19:09
  we were okay today.
• 1:19:14
  Did you see Garty was
• 1:19:15
  commenting on why maybe
• 1:19:16
  like Denver or some of
• 1:19:17
  those places don't get
• 1:19:18
  picked is because of elevation affecting?
• 1:19:21
  I could see that.
• 1:19:25
  True.
• 1:19:26
  But we're going to Texas
• 1:19:27
  with extreme heat.
• 1:19:29
  We went to West Coast
• 1:19:30
  Classic with extreme heat and elevation.
• 1:19:33
  Vegas has elevation.
• 1:19:35
  You're in the bowl on the
• 1:19:37
  top of a mountain range.
• 1:19:41
  So, and those athletes dealt with it okay.
• 1:19:51
  Lex,
• 1:19:52
  I have not riffed about no judging for
• 1:19:54
  masters.
• 1:19:56
  Did you get any video looked at?
• 1:19:58
  I got one video reviewed and approved.
• 1:20:01
  Well, that's what they said, right?
• 1:20:03
  In the rule book that they
• 1:20:06
  were looking at one video
• 1:20:08
  and may ask for others.
• 1:20:11
  Yeah, I mean, I guess.
• 1:20:15
  And if it would have turned
• 1:20:16
  out to be like individual
• 1:20:18
  quarters where there was
• 1:20:21
  33% of video to no rep,
• 1:20:27
  maybe I would agree.
• 1:20:28
  But I don't actually think
• 1:20:31
  they reviewed the videos
• 1:20:34
  because I think there was like 20%
• 1:20:40
  no reps or adjustments or
• 1:20:43
  across all the divisions given out.
• 1:20:45
  Which one?
• 1:20:47
  Grub was trying to do a poll
• 1:20:48
  on that and get some numbers of that.
• 1:20:50
  So I'm very curious to see how many, um,
• 1:20:53
  I think one person got a
• 1:20:56
  penalty and we're not, no,
• 1:20:58
  nobody's even sure in my bracket.
• 1:21:01
  Cause I moved one point.
• 1:21:02
  I moved from like 142.
• 1:21:02
  344 points to 143 points or
• 1:21:07
  something weird like that.
• 1:21:08
  Um,
• 1:21:09
  so something got knocked out and I
• 1:21:14
  don't know.
• 1:21:15
  Which one did they look at?
• 1:21:16
  At all.
• 1:21:17
  It just should be a public,
• 1:21:18
  it should be once the
• 1:21:20
  leaderboard goes live,
• 1:21:21
  everyone's video should be
• 1:21:23
  required to be attached.
• 1:21:24
  Just like I've said for
• 1:21:25
  individuals and it should
• 1:21:26
  be a public leaderboard and
• 1:21:29
  where I guess we just all
• 1:21:30
  shame each other because
• 1:21:32
  there's really going to be
• 1:21:33
  no other way to get people
• 1:21:34
  to hold standard.
• 1:21:36
  Okay.
• 1:21:36
  Ask your question again, Carolyn.
• 1:21:39
  Attempt four.
• 1:21:41
  Which video got reviewed?
• 1:21:44
  I don't know.
• 1:21:45
  Three.
• 1:21:45
  Do you remember which one I sent you?
• 1:21:47
  Three, I think.
• 1:21:49
  I don't remember.
• 1:21:51
  Was it movements that
• 1:21:53
  typically get no reps?
• 1:21:54
  Or what movements were?
• 1:21:56
  Let me go on the game site.
• 1:21:59
  Number three.
• 1:22:00
  The only change in the
• 1:22:01
  leaderboard I saw was decks
• 1:22:02
  going from 41st to 40th,
• 1:22:04
  which I'm stoked about.
• 1:22:05
  But that's the only change
• 1:22:07
  in any leaderboard that I saw.
• 1:22:10
  And your one point.
• 1:22:12
  Um...
• 1:22:13
  And I saw videos posted on
• 1:22:14
  Instagram that should have
• 1:22:16
  been knocked the hell out of.
• 1:22:17
  That's the other thing is
• 1:22:18
  like there's there are
• 1:22:20
  videos out there that have been pulled.
• 1:22:23
  I don't know if the people
• 1:22:24
  have in public or other
• 1:22:25
  people are sharing them or what that are.
• 1:22:28
  Yeah.
• 1:22:30
  Terrible.
• 1:22:34
  We do know this, Lex.
• 1:22:36
  We looked it up today to make sure.
• 1:22:38
  But our 41 year old
• 1:22:39
  Brazilian qualified for the
• 1:22:41
  elite CrossFit Games.
• 1:22:45
  So she will be forced to
• 1:22:46
  take another drug test.
• 1:22:49
  But Jamie's not allowed to
• 1:22:50
  talk about that anymore.
• 1:22:51
  Only me.
• 1:22:52
  I'm the only one that's
• 1:22:53
  allowed to talk about that.
• 1:22:56
  Thank God she gets another test.
• 1:23:01
  Yeah,
• 1:23:05
  but it's just like the theory of numbers.
• 1:23:09
  The more she gets tested,
• 1:23:11
  the better the shot that
• 1:23:12
  one comes back with the actual evidence.
• 1:23:15
  speaking of because she's
• 1:23:17
  our currently our only
• 1:23:18
  person who made it and you
• 1:23:19
  said we we talked to Will
• 1:23:21
  today we said we would on
• 1:23:22
  your live yeah um talk
• 1:23:24
  about that we did talk to
• 1:23:26
  Will more at today uh he's
• 1:23:29
  having an MRI tomorrow to
• 1:23:31
  determine the extent of the
• 1:23:33
  injury he suffered this
• 1:23:34
  weekend um and he'll know
• 1:23:35
  more as to whether he is
• 1:23:37
  even able to uh go to the
• 1:23:39
  Masters CrossFit Games
• 1:23:41
  So this was something that
• 1:23:42
  happened during the second
• 1:23:44
  event and not something
• 1:23:45
  that he was coming in with?
• 1:23:46
  I think it's something he's
• 1:23:48
  been fighting through that
• 1:23:50
  went to a level that now he needs an MRI.
• 1:23:56
  um so but he he was in
• 1:23:59
  really good spirits yeah
• 1:24:00
  like you know he's like
• 1:24:01
  it's just that sport it
• 1:24:03
  happens and that man's been
• 1:24:05
  through a lot like his
• 1:24:07
  wife's cancer diagnosis and
• 1:24:09
  then his his misdiagnosis of
• 1:24:13
  uh the kidney or liver
• 1:24:15
  disease that actually
• 1:24:16
  wasn't true and he was able
• 1:24:18
  to come back from all that
• 1:24:19
  and he's just a good guy
• 1:24:21
  and he was really he was
• 1:24:22
  just he goes now all I can
• 1:24:24
  do is cheer on my friends
• 1:24:27
  and see if they get tickets
• 1:24:28
  to the games and that's
• 1:24:29
  what I'm gonna do but he
• 1:24:31
  did the one sad part was he
• 1:24:33
  goes I know all my testing
• 1:24:35
  times and I'm looking at
• 1:24:37
  the leaderboard I would
• 1:24:38
  have made the games yeah
• 1:24:41
  I mean, anything could have happened,
• 1:24:43
  right?
• 1:24:44
  Grip could have failed him.
• 1:24:45
  Things were happening out there that,
• 1:24:47
  but yeah, I think I liked his shot too.
• 1:24:52
  Yeah.
• 1:24:54
  So, uh,
• 1:24:54
  so that it was just good to talk to
• 1:24:56
  him and he's in, he's in good spirits,
• 1:24:58
  but, uh, so yeah, trained to live.
• 1:25:01
  That's what we've been talking about.
• 1:25:02
  The 41 year old Brazilian
• 1:25:03
  making it to the games.
• 1:25:06
  Uh, yeah, maybe she'll, uh,
• 1:25:09
  can only afford or have the
• 1:25:11
  time to come over for one
• 1:25:12
  of them and chooses
• 1:25:13
  individual and skips the masters.
• 1:25:18
  So she's the only one that
• 1:25:21
  made it through both
• 1:25:22
  because we've never had someone do both.
• 1:25:25
  So she could be, she is the lone ranger.
• 1:25:29
  I said to Jamie today that
• 1:25:31
  maybe her cycle won't let her do both.
• 1:25:33
  She has to pick one or the other.
• 1:25:41
  So, but, and Will's allowed to think that.
• 1:25:44
  I know that, like,
• 1:25:44
  testing times are different.
• 1:25:46
  But after you get injured
• 1:25:47
  and you don't get to complete the event,
• 1:25:49
  it's all you have to hang your hat on,
• 1:25:50
  right?
• 1:25:50
  Yeah.
• 1:25:52
  And you just, you just, you know.
• 1:25:58
  So, anyway.
• 1:26:02
  Anything left here?
• 1:26:03
  I agree with this.
• 1:26:06
  You know,
• 1:26:07
  staying healthy is part of the games, and
• 1:26:11
  Like, yeah, it's true.
• 1:26:15
  That is Ben Scott's big thing with.
• 1:26:18
  Yeah.
• 1:26:19
  Everybody's still giving
• 1:26:20
  Roman credit for winning
• 1:26:21
  the game last year when he didn't win.
• 1:26:25
  So Jeff won after 10 events.
• 1:26:28
  right I agree um I but I
• 1:26:32
  have to pull this up
• 1:26:34
  kenneth says I hear she's a
• 1:26:35
  great cyclist I hear that
• 1:26:40
  as well my friend I hear
• 1:26:41
  that as well lance
• 1:26:45
  armstrong I might have
• 1:26:49
  missed this but have you
• 1:26:50
  all tuned in at all to
• 1:26:52
  south america semi and gee's performance
• 1:26:55
  did not tune into anything.
• 1:26:57
  We have been swamped busy
• 1:26:58
  the entire weekend,
• 1:27:00
  but did see his time in the
• 1:27:01
  snatch ladder.
• 1:27:03
  Uber impressed.
• 1:27:04
  Yeah.
• 1:27:05
  But I think John Young said
• 1:27:07
  this on their podcast.
• 1:27:09
  Uh, okay.
• 1:27:10
  We know geek and lift.
• 1:27:12
  Yeah.
• 1:27:13
  It was expected.
• 1:27:14
  That's what he does.
• 1:27:16
  Yep.
• 1:27:20
  Uh, uh,
• 1:27:24
  i did not know she was a
• 1:27:25
  doctor that is right she is
• 1:27:28
  wow and the access wow
• 1:27:39
  really pulling that needle
• 1:27:40
  right out of the haystack
• 1:27:41
  there oh my gosh goodness
• 1:27:48
  okay else's and she knows
• 1:27:51
  how to play with the hormone cycle
• 1:27:59
  We listened to John Young a
• 1:28:00
  little bit on the way back
• 1:28:01
  from the venue to dinner
• 1:28:03
  and then from dinner to the hotel.
• 1:28:05
  So I did hear him rant a
• 1:28:08
  little bit about that he's
• 1:28:11
  good at the lifts and he
• 1:28:12
  doesn't seem to get better
• 1:28:14
  at the other stuff.
• 1:28:15
  And that's why John doesn't,
• 1:28:17
  it's not that he doesn't like him,
• 1:28:19
  doesn't favor him to do
• 1:28:21
  anything more than he does at the games.
• 1:28:24
  Yeah, I kind of agree on that.
• 1:28:25
  Like he hasn't shown that he's,
• 1:28:28
  willing to work on those other weaknesses.
• 1:28:30
  Like he's just taking his
• 1:28:33
  big wins and staying in that lane.
• 1:28:35
  And is he going to get top
• 1:28:40
  10 at the games?
• 1:28:41
  Like he has, I doubt it.
• 1:28:43
  I think the field has gone
• 1:28:45
  deeper and deeper.
• 1:28:46
  And I don't, I don't know for this year,
• 1:28:48
  like now you've got Allen
• 1:28:50
  and Hopper now in the mix
• 1:28:51
  and Justin's back and it's
• 1:28:53
  going to be pretty good.
• 1:28:55
  Hudson Hatfield, Mount Rushmore,
• 1:28:57
  CrossFitter, according to John.
• 1:29:02
  Seema Cannons, Prevo.
• 1:29:04
  Sean Woodland told us your
• 1:29:06
  athlete history.
• 1:29:06
  I had no idea you're a beast.
• 1:29:09
  Well,
• 1:29:09
  apparently you didn't listen to the
• 1:29:10
  interviews we've done with
• 1:29:11
  Carolyn over the past few years.
• 1:29:14
  Rough weekend this time, but I'll be back.
• 1:29:16
  The workouts were not good
• 1:29:19
  for me this weekend.
• 1:29:20
  I was exposed.
• 1:29:21
  I'm not good at
• 1:29:23
  double-unders or eco-biking.
• 1:29:28
  So the double unders,
• 1:29:29
  I'm watching close because
• 1:29:30
  I know that that's been your thing.
• 1:29:33
  There was a moment where you
• 1:29:34
  strung together a lot,
• 1:29:37
  like for one stretch.
• 1:29:41
  Is there anything you can
• 1:29:42
  take from that that you did
• 1:29:44
  differently or it just
• 1:29:46
  happened to go on that one?
• 1:29:48
  No, some days I can do 75,
• 1:29:49
  maybe 100 unbroken.
• 1:29:51
  Some days it's sets of 10.
• 1:29:57
  like hit or miss.
• 1:29:58
  So it's like, if I'm going,
• 1:29:59
  if I'm doing well, it's like, okay,
• 1:30:01
  ride the wave.
• 1:30:02
  Just keep going.
• 1:30:03
  Cause I don't know when the
• 1:30:03
  next time I'll like,
• 1:30:05
  I just get fatigued over
• 1:30:06
  500 and it gives me a lot of anxiety.
• 1:30:08
  So I need to breathe.
• 1:30:09
  And like,
• 1:30:10
  I can go on broken on the toaster bars.
• 1:30:11
  That's fine.
• 1:30:12
  The front squats, it's fine.
• 1:30:13
  But it's just, for me, it's a complete,
• 1:30:14
  it's just a double under workout.
• 1:30:18
  Yeah.
• 1:30:18
  But yeah.
• 1:30:21
  So Daniel Church says, it's tough though.
• 1:30:23
  For instance,
• 1:30:23
  I'm a strong guy and I work
• 1:30:24
  endurance a ton.
• 1:30:26
  I will suck at it,
• 1:30:27
  but I can still power clean 340.
• 1:30:29
  Despite doing six months of running,
• 1:30:31
  my 5K is only like 28 minutes.
• 1:30:35
  So the one beef I have with John Young,
• 1:30:39
  I probably have more than one,
• 1:30:40
  but I like the guy.
• 1:30:42
  He makes me think and he
• 1:30:45
  makes me debate and he
• 1:30:46
  gives me ideas for my content.
• 1:30:48
  So I'm going to preface it with that.
• 1:30:50
  But John is very much,
• 1:30:51
  if you have to prove it to him,
• 1:30:53
  for him to go down that road.
• 1:30:56
  I think that's why people
• 1:30:57
  are shocked with the Austin Hatfield,
• 1:31:00
  because he went more
• 1:31:02
  forward thinking with that
• 1:31:03
  that he doesn't normally do.
• 1:31:05
  He is very much a show me.
• 1:31:07
  And until he shows him at
• 1:31:09
  the games that he's changed,
• 1:31:12
  he's not going to believe anything.
• 1:31:14
  Yeah.
• 1:31:17
  He's not afraid to say if he
• 1:31:18
  made a mistake on someone, though.
• 1:31:21
  No, no, I'm not, I'm not dogging John,
• 1:31:24
  but that's, that's just his,
• 1:31:26
  if you listen to him a lot, he'll say,
• 1:31:29
  well,
• 1:31:29
  they've never done it before as to
• 1:31:31
  why that's why you're not,
• 1:31:33
  they're not going to be good.
• 1:31:34
  He needs,
• 1:31:35
  he needs to be convinced or he
• 1:31:36
  needs to see something in
• 1:31:37
  the athlete that he's, then he's all in,
• 1:31:39
  right?
• 1:31:40
  Like he, he's an all or none.
• 1:31:42
  There's no between for him.
• 1:31:44
  Like he's either all in on
• 1:31:45
  you or he's doubtful.
• 1:31:50
  No, he admitted it.
• 1:31:51
  He did say he's very much a
• 1:31:52
  what have you done for me lately guy.
• 1:31:54
  It is.
• 1:31:56
  And there's nothing wrong with that.
• 1:31:57
  He just needs to see the
• 1:31:58
  visual evidence before he's
• 1:32:00
  willing to go down that road.
• 1:32:02
  I think when you listen to like a JR,
• 1:32:04
  JR is going to look at it
• 1:32:05
  from a coaching perspective and say, ooh,
• 1:32:07
  I'm seeing improvement here.
• 1:32:09
  They have the potential.
• 1:32:13
  That's why JR and John
• 1:32:15
  talking is a good mix.
• 1:32:19
  And there's times where John will go, okay,
• 1:32:21
  JR, you've convinced me.
• 1:32:24
  But that doesn't happen a ton.
• 1:32:28
  Yep.
• 1:32:34
  Lynn says, Guy is working on it.
• 1:32:37
  I'm in Tennessee,
• 1:32:38
  and Guy is in local comps
• 1:32:40
  and triathlons and 5Ks this offseason.
• 1:32:43
  It's just going to take some time.
• 1:32:46
  Yeah, he's built to be a power athlete.
• 1:32:48
  Like, it's...
• 1:32:49
  It's hard to switch that over.
• 1:32:54
  Yeah.
• 1:32:56
  It really, really was.
• 1:32:58
  Yeah.
• 1:33:00
  I agree.

  Well, I am just about toast,
• 1:33:06
  and we've gone really long.
• 1:33:09
  And we've got to pack
• 1:33:10
  because Jamie has a
• 1:33:11
  middle-of-the-night airline ticket.
• 1:33:14
  And then I'm just going to
• 1:33:15
  drive home from there, so...
• 1:33:19
  With that,
