  I don't. Know I feel like they are right
• 1:07
  now. WTF is this XP thing?

• 1:33
  John's Gridley teammate Avery Jessmer.
• 1:35
  Hey friends. Hello, Miss Avery.
• 1:38
  Lots of comments before we get into it.
• 1:42
  Just a note, if you've been in the, if you're in the United
• 1:45
  States and you need some frog grips and you've been
• 1:47
  disappointed that you cannot get those because of tariffs and
• 1:51
  things of that nature. They have all that sorted out
• 1:56
  and now the website is back open.
• 1:58
  And you are only allowed to get them by using the code spin 10.
• 2:03
  That's the only way, Americans. Code spin John code.
• 2:07
  Spin. Just spin.
• 2:09
  And you get 15% off other than that, so.
• 2:13
  But you can't get them in America unless you use that
• 2:16
  code. That's what we've been told,
• 2:17
  yeah. I mean hey, save money, deal
• 2:21
  with that. So no got that going back up.
• 2:24
  So make sure you use that and get the best grips in the
• 2:28
  market. All right, big show, we got some
• 2:30
  viewer comments. This is your reminder to
• 2:33
  subscribe. Throw your comments in there.
• 2:35
  I had a lot to choose from today.
• 2:38
  Did you? Yeah, we had like.
• 2:39
  There's a lot. Going on.
• 2:41
  Yeah, there's a lot going on. I mean, there was a lot from
• 2:43
  last week's show and then Alex, Suzanne just got high.
• 2:47
  So that was another one. And then we we had to do the
• 2:52
  spin cast for some grid match. So there was all kinds of
• 2:54
  comments to throw out. So this is going to be a lots of
• 2:58
  different topics. First one at Serra TP5 OV You
• 3:03
  can really tell how much certain people are worried about the
• 3:07
  World Fitness project taking over just from how much spin is
• 3:11
  frothing at the mouth for the slightest bit of controversy.
• 3:20
  It's. Just I don't, I don't disagree
• 3:22
  with her man, but I, I don't think that's bad.
• 3:26
  I don't think it's bad, but I think there's a little truth to
• 3:30
  it. It's OK.
• 3:31
  It's OK. I think there's little truth to
• 3:34
  all of it. I think they're shady as all get
• 3:36
  out, but I do think there's a little truth.
• 3:38
  Reporting. The reporting would be exactly
• 3:41
  the same if. But you.
• 3:43
  Like if Alex Kazan. You.
• 3:48
  You would be. I agree with you.
• 3:50
  I agree with you. The reporting would be exactly
• 3:52
  the same. It'd be exactly the same.
• 3:54
  You put it out there no matter what.
• 3:56
  I would 100% agree. You're not.
• 3:59
  You aren't like, like helping only puts negative stuff out
• 4:02
  there. He'll never put a positive thing
• 4:04
  out there 'cause he can't do it, 'cause yeah, it hurts him to be
• 4:08
  happy. I don't.
• 4:09
  I, I'm not saying that's you at all.
• 4:11
  I'm just saying you would report everything no matter what.
• 4:15
  But you do like it, that's all I'm saying.
• 4:17
  I think after seeing this, it's my opinion that they're starting
• 4:24
  to realize it's not so easy to run something like this.
• 4:29
  You know, you know what you are right now, Spin.
• 4:31
  I think you'll appreciate. This this would be good.
• 4:34
  OK. You know when the Big Short when
• 4:36
  that do with the glass eye, I think Exxon, I think that was
• 4:39
  the company. Am I wrong on that or is it you
• 4:42
  know what I'm talking about? Yeah.
• 4:44
  Christian Bale. He had a glass eye.
• 4:45
  And the Big Short. The movie.
• 4:46
  The Big Short. And he called the bank.
• 4:49
  He called. Well, I'm asking you what it
• 4:50
  was, Tyler. I didn't know Michael.
• 4:52
  Bury. Yeah, well, whatever Michael
• 4:55
  Bury, correct, Whatever company that was.
• 4:57
  Like he saw the bank collapsing, the 2008 crisis, he saw that
• 5:01
  happen two years before it happened.
• 5:04
  And he was just so fast to it that everybody hated him.
• 5:09
  And they're like, you're this isn't happening, right?
• 5:12
  And everybody was like, like the house Enron, thank you.
• 5:16
  The housing market is just going up every It's all successful.
• 5:20
  And then boom. And I'm saying you are that guy
• 5:24
  right now. Is that fair?
• 5:26
  And you are trying. You're like just guys.
• 5:28
  I'm telling you, I'm telling you, this is not gonna happen.
• 5:31
  What you think it's gonna happen because you said it way, way,
• 5:35
  way beforehand and it's gonna go boom.
• 5:38
  You think that? You're happy to report.
• 5:41
  It boom goes the dynamite. I think there's some parallels.
• 5:45
  I think what people confuse is that I'm trying to 'cause it or
• 5:52
  that I'm like, actually the one creating the division or playing
• 6:00
  a role in its potential demise, right?
• 6:04
  Like I'm literally just showing what's happening.
• 6:06
  I'm putting a spotlight. I am reporting what Alex said.
• 6:09
  If Alex had said that about CrossFit and what Dave Castro
• 6:12
  said, I would have done the exact same thing.
• 6:15
  I hate the lights. Do you?
• 6:16
  Nope. Nope.
• 6:17
  If the lights, if the lights, the lights on the live stream
• 6:22
  were so dark that I could not see, I would report it, Hanu
• 6:27
  said. He they've changed it.
• 6:28
  It was not the way it was supposed to be.
• 6:31
  Like I think even Wilmore had agreed, like it wasn't or
• 6:34
  somebody said like it was not the, the, the view, any of the
• 6:39
  criticism on what the the lights were was just from a, on a live
• 6:46
  stream perspective. Well, I think, yes, I, I, I
• 6:49
  think where people get us twisted, we would say the exact
• 6:52
  same thing about CrossFit. You don't say you don't, you
• 6:55
  don't hear every single thing CrossFit does.
• 6:57
  We're not like it's the greatest thing in the world.
• 7:00
  The problem is they know we don't like WFP.
• 7:04
  So then everything we report is like, just because we're haters,
• 7:07
  we would do the same thing to everybody.
• 7:09
  I'm just saying you enjoy it, you know?
• 7:14
  You go, you know? I'll let you go.
• 7:16
  I'll let you go. Yeah, I want to, I want to know
• 7:20
  what John's to John's question, was there a little motivation in
• 7:24
  there, but would Halpen say anything different?
• 7:27
  I'm just showing the ticket sales.
• 7:29
  Oh, Halpen. Halpen wouldn't say it, though.
• 7:31
  If it didn't fit his narrative, he wouldn't say it.
• 7:34
  Oh OK, so he wouldn't highlight it good or bad.
• 7:37
  He only would highlight it. He would only highlight it if
• 7:40
  he's not getting paid by whatever The thing is or
• 7:43
  whatever, you know, like he would only highlight the things
• 7:45
  that he hates. That's all he does.
• 7:48
  I I very. Early on reported that ticket
• 7:52
  sales were well, well behind what they were in previous year
• 7:56
  a whole. Yeah, we've not, we've not
• 7:57
  hidden that at all. We've not shield away from that
• 8:00
  at. All I mean, it was like maybe a
• 8:03
  month ago it was it was a few weeks after maybe yeah, probably
• 8:07
  like a few weeks ago I wrote an article that said that, you
• 8:10
  know, there's some concern with the ticket sales in Albany.
• 8:14
  And I think when you look at some of the comments that were
• 8:16
  said about our just quick discussion about the 40% off
• 8:19
  sale, they, they many people interpreted as saying it was not
• 8:25
  a bad thing, it's not good. We we focused more on why it was
• 8:31
  ticket sales were down, what's. Happening.
• 8:33
  How do we fix it? Right.
• 8:35
  Not trying to say that ticket sales were like the 40% off was
• 8:40
  a great thing. No, no, we've, we, we, we
• 8:43
  mentioned that we focus on a different piece of that.
• 8:46
  What people have to understand, we have likes and dislikes just
• 8:49
  like everybody but one. We're not getting paid by
• 8:53
  anybody. All of our opinions are
• 8:56
  unbiased. This is how we feel.
• 8:58
  This is why we like these guys. This is why we don't like these
• 9:01
  guys. But it's unbiased, right?
• 9:04
  And we're in every other every, I bet we could just go across
• 9:09
  the board everybody who's we'll just go ahead and say it.
• 9:12
  And and I and I think I'm the least negative WF peer like in
• 9:16
  the group. Would you say that yes or no?
• 9:18
  I would. I would say I'm right there.
• 9:20
  With oh, I, I agree Tyler. I agree, Tyler.
• 9:22
  I agree, I'm right there with you guys too.
• 9:23
  No you're not but but every person, every person who is
• 9:28
  reporting that's pro WFP is extremely hypocritical and
• 9:34
  whoever pays them the most is who they're gonna say is.
• 9:37
  I don't even think it's who pays them the most.
• 9:40
  I think, I think they're whoever pays them.
• 9:42
  There's a. There's an.
• 9:44
  Ryan, the French throwdown, how much did the other dude, how
• 9:48
  much did the unfriendly dude report on the French throwdown?
• 9:52
  Those are his people, the Europeans that nobody gets to
• 9:56
  see that we've that he's, he's thrown his whole career away to
• 10:00
  show these Europeans, right And the people that nobody gets to
• 10:03
  see. How much did he report on those
• 10:06
  people or that competition? I think he did a recap show.
• 10:10
  Oh good, that was very helpful. Deering.
• 10:13
  All 12 people who watched that. Recap And what did he do for the
• 10:16
  top athletes in the CrossFit space?
• 10:19
  Did he cover those people, The people he's already thrown his
• 10:22
  back to like at the game? Like I'm never reporting
• 10:24
  CrossFit Games ever again. Those are the people that you're
• 10:27
  talking about. But who paid him and who didn't?
• 10:31
  That's all I'm saying. Like what?
• 10:34
  We are not hypocrites, is what I'm saying.
• 10:38
  Until we get paid and then we like us or.
• 10:40
  Dislike us? Yeah, but here's the thing,
• 10:42
  Tyler. I'll say I'm getting paid, so
• 10:44
  I'm going to talk good about it. I'll say that live.
• 10:47
  It only takes $50,000 and John will be all aboard.
• 10:51
  But I'm still going to critique it.
• 10:54
  I'm still going to think it would have been better if we did
• 10:55
  this. You're What are we doing over
• 10:58
  here? Get your hat straight.
• 11:01
  Sorry, it's. Blocking my no hey Lu Zhao
• 11:03
  should've paid us and I said I can't wear them.
• 11:07
  Yeah, you did you. Know what I mean?
• 11:09
  I you can't pay me enough for me not to give my honest opinion.
• 11:13
  I will try to slide it the way you want it, but if it's I don't
• 11:17
  like it, If I don't, I think it's shady.
• 11:19
  If I think it's bad, if I think the scoring system is dumb,
• 11:23
  whatever, I'm going to say it. And I think the Lou Jajun are
• 11:28
  the best, absolute best weightlifting shoe.
• 11:30
  If you wear them, they are better than tier.
• 11:33
  They're better than Reebok, they're better than any of them.
• 11:35
  They're the most solid weightlifting shoe.
• 11:37
  I've had Nikes, I've had the Reeboks.
• 11:39
  I have two pair of tier. I don't wear them.
• 11:43
  I wear the Lou Jejun. That's an unpaid opinion at this
• 11:46
  point. 100% hundred. Percent they were a sponsor.
• 11:50
  Yeah, Frog. Grip I think you can still use
• 11:51
  code spin and save money, but I don't get a dollar of that.
• 11:54
  So right now, a frog grips. That's something I will endorse
• 11:57
  because they're freaking filthy. They have the easiest product to
• 12:00
  endorse. It's like it feels like cheap.
• 12:03
  Well, because they're cheap. Because.
• 12:04
  Because they're great. Yeah, they, they are very
• 12:07
  sticky. They're like, it's not, you
• 12:10
  know, whatever. Yeah, better than the Roma Leos
• 12:12
  to 100% you if you if you have only worn Roma Leos and you try
• 12:19
  the Lujo June like and you and you'll be like and you need a
• 12:23
  way of looking shoes like they are the most solid shoe you will
• 12:27
  ever wear. Like everything else feels
• 12:31
  flimsy. I have the tier whatever the
• 12:35
  carbon ones, they feel super light like it does not feel like
• 12:40
  you're wearing a a solid weight lifting shoe.
• 12:42
  Luz Raju and you know you are and I don't even get paid by
• 12:46
  them. Next comment from our favorite
• 12:50
  CrossFit athletes, Mom Jules Brandon Jules Brandon 7.
• 12:57
  I was thinking Christy. Yeah, that's what I was
• 13:00
  thinking. Christian Hey, is Christy a
• 13:03
  member of the The Spin? I don't.
• 13:05
  I know. Come on Christy, don't be.
• 13:07
  Don't be cheaping out on us here all.
• 13:09
  Right. I can imagine the poo storm if
• 13:13
  this was my kid. Did it really say poo?
• 13:17
  It had the poo emoji. OK.
• 13:19
  All right. I used to take those gummies
• 13:22
  just talking about the THC gummies and quit because I am an
• 13:25
  addict and they gave me the bungies.
• 13:27
  I had to call my sponsor so just imagine if like.
• 13:33
  I don't, I don't, I don't know what you just.
• 13:35
  Said John's like I. Don't know where to go with
• 13:37
  that. I I no.
• 13:38
  It's your sponsor in NA, it's the the addiction group.
• 13:43
  No, just imagine what would be different if Daniel Brandon told
• 13:49
  Dave, oopsie, I took THC in the cross at the CrossFit Games,
• 13:54
  It's CrossFit Games or at semifinals or whatever.
• 13:58
  And Dave was like, oh, don't worry, I told you it's fine.
• 14:02
  I meant to take it out in March. I just didn't do the paperwork.
• 14:05
  Can you imagine how much hate Danielle will be getting right
• 14:08
  now? Way more.
• 14:10
  Everybody, Everybody gave Alex the benefit of the doubt.
• 14:13
  I think, I think it would be the exact same.
• 14:15
  I think if it was Brooke Wells, you wouldn't have even heard.
• 14:17
  Of it? No, absolutely not.
• 14:19
  No, I, I think if it Brooke Wells, Dave would just find a
• 14:22
  way for us not to hear about it. So you're saying crossword would
• 14:25
  cover it up? Whoops, sorry I slipped.
• 14:28
  My bad. Sorry.
• 14:29
  I I will fight you, pool boy. Those are not the same.
• 14:33
  They may look like regular tennis shoes would have a little
• 14:35
  heel on them. They are not the same.
• 14:38
  I I challenge you to find one Olympic weightlifter that wears
• 14:41
  strike movement. Just one.
• 14:44
  So what if I took it before the broadcast?
• 14:47
  I've never taken anything. And we just.
• 14:50
  I would not and. We could just see if it actually
• 14:52
  has an effect or not on performance, you know?
• 14:55
  Knowing, knowing you and your body, it might not.
• 14:58
  You're like a gorilla. There's no.
• 15:00
  I'll take it right before Heavy Isabel.
• 15:02
  We'll take like 30 minutes before that's.
• 15:04
  A good idea. This is a great plan.
• 15:06
  You just walk out that all these lights are bright.
• 15:09
  Oh. Man, John, just be smiling out
• 15:13
  on the field. I think it's a bad idea, John,
• 15:19
  but hey, if you want to try it, go for it.
• 15:22
  At Vittorio 75. These CrossFit athletes want to
• 15:25
  be treated as professionals but get butt hurt when someone
• 15:28
  covers the stories as a professional.
• 15:29
  Spin is covering the news he is reporting as a professional on
• 15:33
  CrossFit and its athletes. I don't know if I'm a
• 15:35
  professional, but I just write. And it's athletes who continue
• 15:40
  to say they want to be treated as professional athletes.
• 15:42
  Get used to it. Great work Spin.
• 15:44
  That's and that's the thing that I think everybody's missing the
• 15:48
  forest for the trees on this one.
• 15:49
  It's like they only say that because we have been critical of
• 15:54
  the WFP, but it's you would care, like you said about the
• 15:56
  CrossFit example, if Dave had done the exact same thing,
• 15:59
  people would be freaking out. And so take all of your bias
• 16:03
  against our bias out of it. It's still relevant news.
• 16:07
  It honestly, it's gotten more wind because you guys are like,
• 16:11
  this isn't news. Would you say the same about
• 16:15
  WFP? It's gotten more wind because
• 16:18
  we're like, this is. Is of us maybe a.
• 16:22
  Half. Million years, so really we're
• 16:23
  the biggest supporters. We are, we are the biggest
• 16:28
  supporters. No, I mean when CrossFit
• 16:32
  produces a or puts out a press release on an athlete failing
• 16:36
  drug test, I'm the first one to put it out there.
• 16:39
  Morning chocolate does not like they may bury it in their bottom
• 16:42
  of their e-mail like a few days later.
• 16:46
  Talking to Elite fitness only does it after I post it.
• 16:48
  Maybe they're not talking about, you know, some South African
• 16:52
  woman or South American woman getting popped.
• 16:59
  Yeah, I'm talking about Holti. No, no, it's like I, I don't
• 17:06
  think anybody reported that, right?
• 17:07
  Like I will call them out that people are getting popped on
• 17:09
  that. It's news Summer Vine for
• 17:13
  tonight. Thank you to see John take a
• 17:16
  THCCBD gummy. Oh, Speaking of Summer Tyler, do
• 17:21
  you have a partner for the Community Cup?
• 17:25
  So Summer decided to almost tear her Achilles when I was gone at
• 17:30
  GRID and she did a workout that I did not program.
• 17:33
  She just decided to do something.
• 17:35
  I don't, I don't know why I just decided to do something by
• 17:37
  herself. And she has like Bursitis and
• 17:41
  like tore something in her foot. It's not her Achilles.
• 17:43
  But but now she's got a little boot for four to six weeks.
• 17:47
  So I don't have a partner anymore, so do you.
• 17:51
  We'll figure that out when you get here.
• 17:52
  Do you just want to just be me and you partners and then they
• 17:56
  can just accept it? I'm.
• 18:00
  Sure, we can make that call. I'll be, I'll be Joanna.
• 18:03
  Joanna. It's.
• 18:05
  Not really a female Tyler name. Taylor.
• 18:08
  Taylor. Yeah, I think it's good.
• 18:11
  Jim Lafave Even if World Fitness project was August through
• 18:14
  February, I'll never be on board with it because it will always
• 18:17
  represent the league of athletes who believe they are worth more
• 18:20
  than their actual market value entitlement like the WNBA.
• 18:27
  Hey, Caitlin Clarke's rising that value I She's also out four
• 18:32
  to six weeks summer. Yeah, RIP.
• 18:35
  So I, I just wanted to call that out because it's not just me
• 18:38
  that. Cole feels this.
• 18:40
  Oh Eric Mackie, are we missing running in too many tests this
• 18:44
  year? At least online TFX Annika
• 18:48
  Sydney Michalician Olivia Syria Miha hoping event 1 is only
• 18:55
  running based event at the games.
• 18:58
  So Annika, Sydney, Olivia, Syria are only hoping that there's one
• 19:01
  IS. Syria a bad runner.
• 19:02
  We know this. I would say by looking at her,
• 19:06
  no. Like she don't look right.
• 19:08
  She ain't, she ain't. She's not a very big girl.
• 19:12
  Well, it's it's Annika and Olivia.
• 19:15
  Annika is not a very big girl, she's just slow.
• 19:20
  Olivia is sitting here on the bigger side.
• 19:21
  Not here at the Syndicate Crown. There's plenty of running being
• 19:25
  tested here, so get out of here with that crap.
• 19:29
  Fair enough. We'll find out.
• 19:32
  We'll find out. I mean I did you guys watch
• 19:35
  Train of think tanks video with Annika or about Annika?
• 19:39
  I tried, you tried fill me in. I there was some of it.
• 19:45
  Baby time is sneaking up on me and I was listening to it in the
• 19:49
  shower trying to absorb some of it.
• 19:52
  So not listening at all. Oh yeah, it's like I listen to
• 19:57
  Sevon in the shower sometimes and it really is just background
• 20:00
  noise. Whatever, whatever you, whatever
• 20:04
  you have to tell yourself. I wouldn't admit that, but you
• 20:07
  told Jeanette. Hey, I need some alone time.
• 20:09
  I'm going to go shower with seven on like.
• 20:13
  She just hears and you guys know, it was actually like from
• 20:18
  what I absorbed from it, I probably got like maybe 40% of I
• 20:22
  watched the whole thing, but only listen to probably 40% of
• 20:25
  it. It was.
• 20:25
  It was OK. I have a clip for you.
• 20:29
  It kind of goes back to Jim Lafave's message about the
• 20:34
  August through February. So yeah, well, this is this is
• 20:40
  about the season, right? Like getting all of it done and
• 20:47
  and where you prioritize your time.
• 20:49
  To have y'all talked about what's is there a priority?
• 20:51
  She's doing both. Is there a priority?
• 20:54
  There's no mental priority. I think her, I mean, I think the
• 20:58
  priority is going to be what's happening now.
• 21:00
  So when we get to WFP, to qualifier, like that's the
• 21:03
  priority and games training will take a back seat.
• 21:05
  Is that annoying to you though? Like saying that like, I know it
• 21:07
  is what it is. You know, we got this.
• 21:09
  She's doing two things. So you're not going to change
• 21:11
  that. But is it kind of like, Dang, I
• 21:13
  wish I could just focus on the games or well, the annoyingness
• 21:15
  is what we've all, or maybe not we've all but many people in our
• 21:18
  community are frustrated with is that we just don't know because
• 21:20
  like that's not even the most complicated.
• 21:23
  You don't know what know like what the next season is going to
• 21:25
  look like. We don't know if she's going to
• 21:27
  make the events. If she's not going to make the
• 21:28
  events. If she does well at the games,
• 21:30
  that might mean she gets an automatic bid to Rogue.
• 21:32
  So then that puts a new competition in between WFP to
• 21:35
  and the WFP finals. And so it becomes very hard as a
• 21:40
  coach and like you have people in the outside being like, well,
• 21:42
  what is she doing for running or why isn't she getting better at
• 21:44
  running? Or I don't know if they're
• 21:45
  saying that, but if people were saying that it's very hard.
• 21:48
  It's like, where do you put base building run training?
• 21:50
  How do you prioritize running when you have an online
• 21:52
  qualifier? One month than two big in person
• 21:54
  qualifier competitions that are probably going to require a
• 21:57
  taper workout practice and AD load around both of them.
• 22:00
  So that's like six weeks of training right there taken.
• 22:02
  So it becomes frustrating only in so much as I can't really
• 22:05
  guide training that much and. Yeah, but listen, she's so bad
• 22:12
  at running. I I would just have her run
• 22:17
  everywhere. All the time.
• 22:20
  I mean, she is strong enough to be you were.
• 22:22
  Not allowed to have a car you and like find out how to refer
• 22:26
  to live within a 2 mile radius of the gym.
• 22:29
  And then she just if she wants to go somewhere, she has to run
• 22:36
  like like like listen, I I know that's not how you get fast, but
• 22:40
  she's so bad at running. It'll help.
• 22:43
  It would it would be better than what she does now.
• 22:45
  Wasn't it like 2 years ago John, you were running every day.
• 22:48
  Coach L had you running every day.
• 22:50
  Did it help? Yeah, to an extent.
• 22:54
  It's just you're just not going to like I'm not going to run a
• 22:56
  530 anytime soon. I ran my 559 though when I did
• 23:00
  that, like a 559 mile. I can't do that now.
• 23:05
  I also remember TFX 2 years ago was rough the row into the run.
• 23:10
  Yeah, that was bad, yeah. But I, I hadn't started that
• 23:13
  though. But I ran, I ran 6 miles at an
• 23:17
  850 pace, which was like a really, that's really good for
• 23:22
  like long, long distance for me, like that long of distance.
• 23:25
  And my 5K was 2312. So you know, we're looking,
• 23:31
  we're looking at a sub sub 8 minute pace for a 5K.
• 23:34
  It's like a 750. Now, obviously that's not that's
• 23:40
  not good at all. But like we're I'm not a games
• 23:44
  athlete, right? This is literally the worst I'm
• 23:47
  ever going. This is the worst thing that I'm
• 23:49
  ever going to be at anything. And I was holding 750 for A5 Ki.
• 23:53
  Don't think Anika's that much better.
• 23:55
  Do you think? Like she's an actual games
• 23:57
  athlete. You think she's much better than
• 23:58
  that? No.
• 24:01
  That's sad. Danny Spiegel ran a 7 minute
• 24:06
  mile. I think it was 65640.
• 24:10
  That's Tyler knows he called it on the dot.
• 24:12
  OK, but like. 6. 40 I'm saying that's terrible.
• 24:17
  If you're one of the fittest women in the world and I run
• 24:21
  faster than you, that's that's atrocious.
• 24:26
  That's, that's insane. You, you know.
• 24:29
  What I'm saying, but how do you do it though when you try to
• 24:31
  compete in two? Seasons run everywhere you go.
• 24:34
  Dude, this is Groundhog Day again.
• 24:37
  We talked about this what before with the 2/20/19 season or 2018
• 24:42
  season, whichever one that one was, we were just like, how can
• 24:45
  you get better? You don't have any time to just
• 24:47
  train, train. You're going to have to
• 24:48
  selectively do the season as you see fit, which we're already
• 24:52
  seeing. Alex Kazan's already doing it.
• 24:53
  She's the first one to like pick that that way of doing it.
• 24:57
  She included the WFP more so than the CrossFit side.
• 25:00
  I wouldn't say more. So she just, you know, kind of
• 25:02
  leaning. She she put the target on of
• 25:04
  saying I'm going to focus on Norcal and that, yeah, all that
• 25:08
  like that was probably the view that's actually said it, that
• 25:12
  that's what she's doing. Now, but she can afford to do
• 25:17
  that because she can afford to adjust her training.
• 25:20
  Annika, who needs to work on stuff, can't, like John said,
• 25:25
  like you just have to start making a run everywhere, at
• 25:27
  which point she can't do CrossFit stuff all the time.
• 25:29
  She can't do weight lifting stuff all the time because she's
• 25:31
  going to have to run more and then she's just going to get
• 25:33
  worse at that. So it's like your your
• 25:35
  progression of the Challenger division is actually worse.
• 25:39
  You could. You could do your stuff and
• 25:41
  still just run everywhere. I don't know, dude.
• 25:43
  Dude, Mall O'Brien would wake up and run 3 miles just to wake up
• 25:47
  and start the day just. Where is she now, John?
• 25:50
  Where is she now? She's in Iowa or Hawaii doing
• 25:53
  yoga. You're absolutely right.
• 25:56
  Bert. But Annika needs to do that
• 26:01
  right like I I do. You can't be that bad at some.
• 26:07
  She's as bad at running as Laura Horbath is a deficit handstand
• 26:11
  push ups. But you know, and Travis
• 26:13
  Williams, Travis Williams did this and he's, you know, he's
• 26:16
  not the greatest example because he weighs 280 lbs now, but he
• 26:20
  would. But he and he's still probably
• 26:22
  better than me, Wayne. He's still so yeah, he's still
• 26:25
  very, very good. But but he was like, you know
• 26:29
  what? I'm always going to be bad at
• 26:31
  this stuff. I'm just going to worry at the
• 26:32
  stuff I'm good at. And like she might be like, I'm
• 26:34
  going to get last place anyway, even if I do improve, like I
• 26:38
  even if I do improve. So like that, like you brought
• 26:41
  up TFXI went from last place to like 5 spots away from last
• 26:45
  place. But that's how, that's how bad I
• 26:48
  was at running. Like improving a whole lot was
• 26:50
  not enough to be middle of the pack.
• 26:53
  It was enough to not be last place, right?
• 26:56
  So for her, if she's still going to be last place no matter what,
• 26:59
  maybe she's just thinking I'm just going to focus on other
• 27:02
  things because I'm already going to be last, I mean.
• 27:04
  That's what they talked about a little bit.
• 27:06
  It's so much time to get a little bit better.
• 27:09
  It's just annoying. Look at that Pedro's in in the
• 27:14
  States. The legendary Willy be making.
• 27:16
  Is that Will? I thought he was.
• 27:18
  I thought he quit CrossFit. He's about to run out of here as
• 27:21
  soon as we put the camera on him.
• 27:24
  Maybe that's the idea, and if that's the idea, that's fine.
• 27:27
  I wish you would just say it though.
• 27:28
  Don't say there's not time to run, just say hey, I'm so bad
• 27:33
  that I'm just not going to work on it.
• 27:36
  So Mal is from Iowa. Her parents live there, and then
• 27:38
  she hangs out in Hawaii. So she she's a, what do they
• 27:43
  call it, the people that fly back and forth from New York to
• 27:47
  Yeah, yeah, something like that. Barry Mccockner.
• 27:50
  Iowa and Hawaii, they're basically the same.
• 27:52
  Place they are about the same. Barry Mccockner would get mad if
• 27:55
  I do not pull up this comment since he is a member. 496 views
• 27:57
  on the World Fitness Project day one live stream.
• 28:00
  Whoo. Half a million.
• 28:02
  There you go. Let's see.
• 28:05
  What are they referencing like? Nothing.
• 28:08
  They're referencing nothing. So no SO.
• 28:12
  Every time somebody click on their website.
• 28:14
  Maybe every time. I mean, I can let me let me pull
• 28:17
  up the video in case somebody has not seen it.
• 28:20
  Every once in a while I get somebody that.
• 28:23
  And we're, we're speculating This is why they didn't want to
• 28:25
  go on YouTube, so they could just say whatever they wanted to
• 28:27
  say and make it sound better. I'll I'll get to that.
• 28:31
  Let me let me show the the video and probably make people mad
• 28:37
  again, which is fine. Let's see.
• 28:48
  How many numbers? So I know people were talking
• 28:52
  like about all the numbers that were being thrown around, how
• 28:54
  many viewers there were, and by weekend's end.
• 28:56
  Yeah, like half a million and. There was like 260,000 views.
• 29:02
  Yeah, like half a million and. There was like 260,000 views on
• 29:08
  the stream in totality. That answer your question.
• 29:11
  I mean, they have. It's clear as mud, Jackie.
• 29:17
  So I think. And guys, guys, that's why they
• 29:21
  did not go on YouTube because they you can't, you can't lie
• 29:25
  then. So there I think there's a
• 29:28
  couple things at play. I think Seth had a had a number
• 29:32
  that was at the end of Sunday. I think Will has a number that
• 29:36
  may high ground. So you think, you think, go
• 29:40
  ahead, span, go ahead. You're span.
• 29:41
  The whole thing go. Ahead Will did this interview a
• 29:43
  week later. 2 weeks later I'm sure they had some playback.
• 29:49
  Generally speaking those types of playbacks after the event
• 29:54
  ends is like in the 10 to 20% range on YouTube.
• 29:59
  So if Will is right, they had 190,000 views post competition
• 30:05
  playback versus the 260 live on a website on a website.
• 30:12
  The the problem is, and I see it on my website, you have to
• 30:15
  filter it out is bots. Bots can get on your website and
• 30:20
  do it. Also the clever cast is every
• 30:24
  time play is hit it counts as a view.
• 30:26
  YouTube takes 30 seconds to get a view.
• 30:29
  So if you start my video, if you watch this and click off after
• 30:32
  25 seconds, it doesn't count as a view on YouTube.
• 30:38
  But on the Internet is every time somebody clicks it.
• 30:40
  But Clevercast of what they use to stream it and what their what
• 30:43
  their platform is using, when you go actually look at their
• 30:45
  FAQs, it's every time somebody clicks play, it counts.
• 30:48
  So there's a difference in how it's counted.
• 30:51
  I think there's some bots at play because bots are always on
• 30:53
  websites and if they're going through and just screwing up
• 30:57
  your numbers, that can be an issue.
• 30:59
  If will is being a little generous in the 500,000, that's
• 31:02
  another issue. I think the two 60s should be
• 31:05
  dude like, but like if, if that's the case, if that's the
• 31:07
  case and I know it's in totality every single time somebody
• 31:11
  could, I still think it's generous.
• 31:12
  But if that is the case, imagine if they were on YouTube and they
• 31:17
  had a, a, a video on YouTube that had 200,000 views.
• 31:23
  That's what the CrossFit Games is doing.
• 31:26
  You literally could use that and be like, see, we're the biggest
• 31:29
  thing coming. This is our first thing.
• 31:31
  That's how you know it's a lie, because that could be their
• 31:35
  biggest piece of like, this is the this is the future.
• 31:38
  Look at how many people came and watched our thing, right?
• 31:41
  And they would, and they we could not fight it.
• 31:44
  We couldn't fight it if we wanted to because that many
• 31:47
  people watched it and and right. But so if they didn't use
• 31:54
  YouTube and it was the actual truth, which no way it's the
• 31:57
  truth because like that's how you know it's not the truth.
• 32:03
  Jeffrey Lewis I added 50 views because I kept opening and
• 32:07
  closing waiting for the last heats.
• 32:09
  Oh, I so many times I like you'd watch and then you'd see, oh,
• 32:15
  it's not on yet. I'll close out and I don't feel
• 32:17
  like watching Dead Air or it's the update show or whatever.
• 32:21
  The thing that I really struggle with is when you do look at
• 32:23
  their YouTube channel and they did the recap shows for the men
• 32:27
  and the women the last couple days, they get like 500 views.
• 32:32
  450,000 people or a half million people do not watch the show and
• 32:36
  then 500 people watch your recap show.
• 32:40
  I was gonna add up. That's like having 200 and 1000
• 32:43
  subscribers but only 1000 live, but only 1000 views on your
• 32:46
  video. Yeah, well, that's the fun.
• 32:49
  That's The funny thing, like the whole impressions math that
• 32:54
  happens. It is the number one aggravating
• 32:57
  thing for me. So like when we're trying to
• 32:59
  give ad space to companies and they're like, how many
• 33:01
  impressions do you get? It's like, well, every time
• 33:04
  somebody accesses the app or an ad rolls across your screen, you
• 33:09
  could have seen that the ad 1800 times.
• 33:12
  Is that an impression? And it's the same thing here,
• 33:14
  like Spin, you're actually in a unique situation where people go
• 33:17
  and access your site individually for different
• 33:20
  articles probably each time. So yours are a little bit more
• 33:23
  true to what an impression actually means.
• 33:25
  But on this YouTube thing or on their whatever that site was, I
• 33:29
  mean, like, who knows what the math is?
• 33:31
  And like we can't even really do it because we under we
• 33:34
  understand and speak in YouTube. This is a totally different
• 33:37
  language. And so it it's just all crap.
• 33:39
  I understand that. I understand the witch crap
• 33:41
  they're pulling. They might actually be using a
• 33:43
  real figure, but it's not if 20,000 people all access it 100
• 33:49
  times. Like what is that?
• 33:52
  The only the only thing that you can believe is YouTube views.
• 33:57
  That is the only thing that's truthful.
• 34:01
  YouTube views, not subscribers, not like like not comments.
• 34:07
  Because like you said, bots can just kind of start doing stuff
• 34:10
  is YouTube views. Yeah, they scrub it.
• 34:14
  All right. Next up, Siberian Kelly.
• 34:17
  Why didn't I get the notification?
• 34:18
  I don't know. YouTube block again.
• 34:23
  All right, two comments real quick.
• 34:25
  We'll move on to the grid recap. It ties into it.
• 34:28
  Christy Mean. I love how the whole stream was
• 34:29
  about lack of standards. That was on the spin cast and
• 34:33
  Jon still managed to be the only one to get no repped.
• 34:35
  Love him though. And Paul Behar.
• 34:39
  Crazy to be commentating on the sport and they don't even know
• 34:42
  the rules. Grid.
• 34:44
  Got it. We, we don't.
• 34:46
  They don't. Y'all don't.
• 34:48
  We're trying. To you don't claim to.
• 34:51
  I was there to give as much context and appreciate it.
• 34:56
  Watch it with everybody else. This was not a official
• 34:59
  broadcast. It was not tied to the UGL.
• 35:01
  This was to show. Support not partnered in any
• 35:04
  way. Spam the comment section with
• 35:06
  tacos which was amazing. Worth it and to cheer on John.
• 35:12
  It was not to be the official commentary with all the rules
• 35:15
  because I'll be the first to admit, and I think we said it,
• 35:17
  we have 0 idea what the hell is going on.
• 35:20
  Yeah. I'm pretty sure, I'm pretty sure
• 35:21
  Grant was like, guys, I don't even know what I was coming on
• 35:24
  for. And then like they're just
• 35:26
  learning and it's probably going to how it's going to be for the
• 35:28
  next couple once. Look at this.
• 35:31
  Oh man, the whole. Crew.
• 35:33
  Wow, it's good stuff. So John Grid recap, what was
• 35:40
  your thought of the very first time on a competition floor
• 35:45
  competing in grid? So the competition is very well
• 35:49
  ran like it's it's like for such a chaotic sport, we'll go ahead
• 35:54
  and let Saman go. What's up, Sivan?
• 35:56
  This hey, this is this is this is my first time here.
• 35:59
  This is crazy. The fans are on top of the
• 36:01
  athletes. This is this is the best venue
• 36:03
  ever. You guys been here?
• 36:05
  No, yeah, I'm not. I'll be there tomorrow.
• 36:08
  I can't wait. Oh, are you?
• 36:10
  You're coming to spin. We saw where you're asleep and
• 36:12
  we checked out the top of the parking lot.
• 36:14
  Hell yeah, the the RV will be rolling in around noon to 1:00
• 36:17
  tomorrow. Crazy.
• 36:19
  All right, Good to speak. With Caleb.
• 36:21
  Caleb will be out there too. Can't wait to see you guys
• 36:23
  tomorrow. Yeah, that's be good.
• 36:24
  I'm pretty sure I'm the first one taking the floor, Savon.
• 36:28
  On Friday, yeah, you're going to.
• 36:31
  It's going to be intense. Either people are going to be
• 36:32
  supporting you or laughing at you and you're going to hear it
• 36:35
  all. Either way, it's support John.
• 36:37
  Yeah, that's why he's going to take some THC.
• 36:39
  Hey, remember guys, when this show's over, look for the Sevan
• 36:42
  Podcast. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
• 36:49
  Good segue. No professional, John.
• 36:52
  Yeah, it was it's for such a chaotic sport and like to not I
• 36:56
  know it's a lot and like you don't really know what's going
• 36:58
  on. You kind of really have to like
• 36:59
  re study it to know what's going on.
• 37:03
  It's really well ran like they the turn around for events is so
• 37:07
  fast. They have basically a pit crew
• 37:10
  that changes the event like that.
• 37:12
  It's just, it's just a way different thing from CrossFit
• 37:16
  because you do, you know, 8-8 or nine different little races in
• 37:21
  one thing. It's just, but it's, it's, it's,
• 37:24
  you know, we did the national anthem for every before every
• 37:26
  match. So like, like, like it's, it's
• 37:28
  just, it's just very like it's just they take it real serious.
• 37:33
  I like, but it's refreshing. I, I loved it.
• 37:36
  I loved it. And there was a, it's during
• 37:38
  like a fitness Expo. And I don't know if they're all
• 37:40
  like this, I think. They tried to.
• 37:42
  But like the Miami Fitness Expo, like there was a bodybuilding
• 37:44
  contest, there was a powerlifting thing, there was
• 37:47
  jujitsu going on. There's A and so like they kind
• 37:51
  of have everybody, all, everybody who's like doing
• 37:54
  something like in this little area.
• 37:56
  And so every time I went to the bathroom, I just saw 10 naked
• 38:00
  sick women like, you know, about to do the bikini contest that
• 38:03
  you just think you could brush in half and they're all just
• 38:06
  lined up next to the men's bathroom.
• 38:08
  It's, it's wild. But no, I had a blast.
• 38:12
  I, I wish, I wish our team would have done a little bit better.
• 38:15
  We got we did get smacked and that's that's, you know, it is
• 38:17
  what it is, just a lot of rookie mistakes.
• 38:24
  So but hopefully that stuff's cleaned up.
• 38:26
  I do think we'll be better than this next one.
• 38:28
  The team that we were against was very, very good.
• 38:30
  So shout out to those guys. But it was, it was a really,
• 38:34
  really fun time. John, your team was so close on
• 38:39
  for the first time, like I think you guys did really well.
• 38:42
  We have a lot of really good people.
• 38:44
  It's just we just got to get it together, right?
• 38:47
  Like, I feel like we were ahead in a lot of races.
• 38:50
  And then you make thing is when every race is 2 minutes, you
• 38:53
  make one mistake, other team wins, right?
• 38:57
  Really let down. I didn't get to show people that
• 39:00
  I'm the strongest person the grid's ever seen.
• 39:03
  Yeah, I'll get in trouble saying that, but but that's OK.
• 39:07
  Like since we were losing so badly, my thought process was I,
• 39:12
  I was going to do my 3 cleans and everybody seemed to be
• 39:15
  struggling with it, especially like trying to power them all.
• 39:18
  And at the third one, then I was going to jerk it and then I was
• 39:21
  going to walk across the finish line with it above me and then
• 39:24
  and then let it go back. So we're already losing by a
• 39:26
  lot, right? And Matt was already struggling,
• 39:28
  so we were going to lose that one too.
• 39:30
  Like it was just, you know, so I was just going to just do
• 39:33
  something stupid. But, but everybody was really
• 39:37
  nice. Nobody like it was mean to me.
• 39:40
  I was expecting a couple people to be mean to me, but a couple
• 39:44
  other teams like introduced themselves and everybody was
• 39:47
  fine. I was I was into Tom.
• 39:49
  I did. I was 10 feet from Tom.
• 39:51
  I I can I almost positive you saw me.
• 39:54
  I just stood there for a little bit.
• 39:56
  I was watching the other next the next the match after us go
• 40:00
  and. We're about to leave, like me
• 40:03
  and my teammates. And then so his team kind of
• 40:06
  just got there and I saw him. I don't know if you saw me, but
• 40:10
  I saw him and I was just going to stand there for a little bit.
• 40:12
  So if he wanted to do something, I was ready to do it, you know,
• 40:15
  Like we're going to, you know, it's up to you, man, you know?
• 40:18
  He didn't. He didn't go get on you all Ed
• 40:20
  Mao style. He.
• 40:21
  Didn't come talk to me at all. And I, I was ready for it.
• 40:24
  I, you know, I don't know what I was ready for, but I was ready
• 40:26
  for it, you know what I mean? So like, and he didn't do
• 40:29
  anything. I was really surprised.
• 40:32
  I assume that the fitness Expo was pretty busy though, right?
• 40:35
  Did people come watch what was going on?
• 40:38
  Or is it kind of like, oh, this is some weird freak show over
• 40:41
  there? I would say a little bit of
• 40:43
  both, like like it's they definitely have their fans, like
• 40:46
  people are just there to watch grid.
• 40:48
  But the family members it's a not really not I wouldn't say
• 40:53
  family members just because it's you know, it's far away.
• 40:57
  I mean, I guess all of them are not, you know, for the Florida
• 40:59
  people, I guess not far away. But I was a mix of people who
• 41:04
  are there to watch this and then there to watch and then, you
• 41:07
  know, people who are there for other things like just watching
• 41:10
  what's happening, right. It's not the crowd's not huge,
• 41:14
  but it's it it is like a lot of passerby's checking it, checking
• 41:17
  out what's going on. But as far as the competition,
• 41:21
  the competition is great. The announcers are great.
• 41:23
  They they like dude, they, they, they do it up a lot more than I
• 41:27
  thought it was because I I was thought it was just like a
• 41:32
  sideshow thing, but like they, they do it up big and it was the
• 41:37
  judges were great. There is one like judge who who
• 41:42
  is like the only guy who would be a CrossFit judge, like as far
• 41:46
  as standards go. And they like rotate judges.
• 41:49
  So like like he's on one team side and then the next race he's
• 41:54
  on the other team side and like it's so hilarious.
• 41:57
  People who like are only grid people because they get aft
• 42:02
  every time by this guy. Like this guy like like it's
• 42:04
  crazy. Like like when he's like when
• 42:07
  he's on our side. I was like, hey, hold the
• 42:09
  lockout a little longer than you would or like extend your hips a
• 42:12
  little more than you would, right?
• 42:13
  It's like you can't race at this point.
• 42:15
  We just have to have, you know, if they take it, look at it as
• 42:17
  like CrossFit, if you're in a CrossFit competition, and then
• 42:22
  when he's not on our side now we're in a grid competition, we
• 42:25
  can start shorting some stuff up like like it's 100%.
• 42:28
  That's what it was. Like I got, I got in trouble for
• 42:30
  that. I was like, it's just, you know,
• 42:31
  the standards are a little bit loose on the grid side.
• 42:34
  Speed is valued over standards. It's not like people cannot look
• 42:38
  at this. This is why Taylor would never
• 42:40
  watch it, Bryson would never watch it, and that's that's
• 42:43
  completely fine. The kettlebell to overhead was
• 42:47
  insane. The ground overhead kettlebells
• 42:50
  like this is the first, the first race they were just like
• 42:54
  slinging it up like. Oh the the lighter ones I was
• 42:56
  like, my lockouts were beautiful.
• 42:58
  No, the very first. The first one was like 53.
• 43:00
  Pounds spell light that people just kind of like, toss them
• 43:03
  around. What happened, John on the
• 43:06
  bobble on the snatch you like had to reset or something?
• 43:10
  That bar fell out of my hands. It was actually like if y'all,
• 43:14
  nobody saw it, but if you could see what happened, it's actually
• 43:18
  incredibly impressive. I was impressed because I like,
• 43:22
  I like got, I like got the bar and then I went to go and the
• 43:25
  bar just fell out of my hands. And then I was like and then and
• 43:29
  then like went to like and like I had to like re grip it and it
• 43:32
  was like, OK, now we're good. Like my like hook grip slipped
• 43:34
  out everything like just slipped.
• 43:37
  The guy before me, his hands were real sweaty and that made
• 43:39
  that. And I'd like re grip the bar in
• 43:41
  a different spot and then kind of like just get crooked with it
• 43:44
  a little bit. But again, speed is valued ahead
• 43:48
  of like movement standards. You cannot treat this like
• 43:52
  CrossFit reps These are just freaks being freaks moving as
• 43:55
  fast as they can. But it was very, very fun.
• 43:59
  I'm sorry that we weren't better.
• 44:02
  We will be better. Vindicate wants to know are they
• 44:05
  going to come out with adult sized shorts for the next event?
• 44:08
  Those are perfectly sized. I was eating those shorts dude,
• 44:13
  trust me, I can feel it. Jeanette Jeanette was looking at
• 44:16
  the pictures. She goes, Why are his shorts so
• 44:18
  small? I was like, hey, good thing,
• 44:20
  good thing I don't have to squat these cleans because I think
• 44:23
  they would RIP. Like if we're not powering,
• 44:25
  we're in trouble. I I love it.
• 44:29
  All the wall balls I just feel like the tightness around my
• 44:32
  Dick every time I squat it like it was just like and I knew I
• 44:35
  hit depth right when it hit a little skirt smart like I could
• 44:38
  I could just feel it but no they are very tight.
• 44:43
  They do that on. Purpose, I tell you and the the
• 44:45
  the shirt, they they make everything super tight.
• 44:48
  It I did not like myself. I didn't like how I looked and I
• 44:53
  was like as soon as Isabel's over, because I need to be
• 44:57
  strong for Isabel, as soon as that's over, I'm getting ripped
• 45:01
  up again. I'm I'm not I don't like this at
• 45:04
  all. Like I'm going down to 195.
• 45:06
  That's that's the yeah, so, but I had a good time.
• 45:11
  I feel like I'm, I feel like I did my part well.
• 45:14
  I don't feel like I messed up very much.
• 45:16
  So the you just got to get it together as a team.
• 45:21
  It's one of your competitors. Looks like he's on the Sharks.
• 45:23
  One of the best team. He's the, he's the coach slash
• 45:26
  owner of the Sharks. He's got all the money.
• 45:30
  Look, look at the Sharks like the Yankees.
• 45:32
  They're they're the Sharks are like the Yankees of the Gridley.
• 45:35
  Really. As I as I listen.
• 45:37
  More and more, that's how they got Kelsey Keel.
• 45:39
  Right. Are the bandits Oakland?
• 45:41
  No, the bandits aren't Oakland we're I would.
• 45:44
  Say White Sox. No, no, no.
• 45:47
  I would say the bandits are the are the Cardinals OK?
• 45:54
  What does that mean? Which takes us a little bit to
• 45:57
  get warmed up, but once we get going, once we get going.
• 46:00
  Post season, we're we're going to be on it.
• 46:02
  Yeah, yeah, yeah. 100%. Does every team make the
• 46:05
  playoffs or is it only? Top four and they go by points.
• 46:10
  So like we it was the score was like not the record.
• 46:14
  No, no, no, no, it's not the record.
• 46:15
  They go by points. So it's like 20, like our score
• 46:20
  was like 20 to 11 or something like that.
• 46:22
  So our current score for the playoffs is -9 and then it's
• 46:27
  like, so if we win really big, then we're plus, you know what I
• 46:30
  mean? It matters how much don't.
• 46:32
  Win. So don't let up, just crush the.
• 46:33
  Other team right so the the the CrossFit ones that we won the
• 46:36
  triads one I thought it was hilarious my my parents are
• 46:39
  Cardinals fans. I guess he does not a fan of our
• 46:41
  team, but that's fine. The is I thought it was funny
• 46:46
  that we won the Crossfitting ones I'm.
• 46:48
  Going to have to migrate. Oh, computer's dying.
• 46:53
  Yeah. So good times.
• 46:55
  When's your next match? June.
• 46:57
  The week after Norcal, so I have Syndicate and then Norcal and
• 47:01
  then Tampa and that's the next match.
• 47:03
  Was Matt OK? Yeah, Matt, listen, listen, Matt
• 47:07
  had four of those things. He had four, like, like that's
• 47:12
  how much he has. And he got no Rep on one.
• 47:15
  And then he went for five and he did not have 5.
• 47:18
  And it's like a legless rope climb or a strict handstand push
• 47:22
  up. When it's gone, it's gone.
• 47:25
  And that's what that's what happened to Matt.
• 47:29
  I I have a theory that he just wanted his handstand walk to
• 47:32
  have more views than Mike Clean. So he was like, F me, I'm going
• 47:35
  to take this into my own hands and not give me a shot to show
• 47:38
  out. So that's fine.
• 47:40
  But. The the handstand walk over the
• 47:42
  ladder or over the stairs and the ramp was highlight of our
• 47:45
  match. Highlight of our match.
• 47:47
  It might have been one of the most impressive things of the
• 47:49
  entire weekend. No, I didn't watch anything
• 47:51
  other than your match, but I would say it's probably one of
• 47:54
  the toughest. I don't know what else could
• 47:56
  beat it, honestly. I mean, there probably could be
• 47:58
  some pretty gymnastic guy up on the rings that looks real
• 48:00
  pretty, but I mean, it's pretty. Relative to everybody else that
• 48:05
  does it, I have to imagine if you if you piece score that.
• 48:09
  If you piece score at first, sure, yeah, it's highlight of
• 48:11
  the weekend. Honestly, it was pretty
• 48:13
  impressive of the Lions because they were not that far behind.
• 48:17
  We beat them by like they were. They had four reps left when we
• 48:20
  were done and their guys ain't doing that like so it was pretty
• 48:26
  impressive that they were not that far behind, I feel.
• 48:31
  Yeah, I was glad we won at least one.
• 48:32
  Some we didn't get. We didn't get skunked.
• 48:36
  It was looking that way early on.
• 48:38
  All right, Next up, Syndicate preview.
• 48:43
  John, I think for for lack of time, we've spent a lot of time
• 48:47
  talking about everything else. Let's go through your top ten
• 48:52
  and then we will tell you where I I do not have a list of it.
• 48:58
  So you're just going to walk 10 through 1 and we will go through
• 49:02
  and say what we like and don't like about this.
• 49:05
  First of all, the field in general, the women, I think is
• 49:11
  tighter than the men. I I would agree.
• 49:16
  I think there are. I think there are potentially 7
• 49:24
  women who can get the top 2 spots.
• 49:26
  I would agree with that. And then for the men, I think
• 49:30
  there are five men who can get the top 2 spots.
• 49:35
  But what's crazy is I feel like it is very wide open on both
• 49:41
  sides. You know, I agree with most.
• 49:44
  I think they see Brooke Wells and they're like, oh, Brooke
• 49:47
  Wells is way better than everybody.
• 49:49
  Brooke's been sucking, man. Brooke has not been very good as
• 49:52
  of late. And I do I think Brooke's better
• 49:55
  than everybody else too. I'm, I'm with the field on that,
• 49:57
  but she's not been great. It's kind of like Alexis Raptors
• 50:02
  would be what most people would think.
• 50:05
  Who would win the games now if T if Tia is not playing but Alexis
• 50:11
  been sucking man, you can't you can't depend on like you know,
• 50:14
  it's it's Brooks kind of got that going on.
• 50:17
  Before we get into your picks, Tyler Heat 1.
• 50:22
  Heat one yeah, so same games shot caller top ten, but I've
• 50:30
  been waiting to release the prize and now I I need to make a
• 50:32
  graphic now to release what the prizes are.
• 50:34
  I know you guys have been all waiting for this big moment,
• 50:37
  haven't you, John? I've been waiting for it.
• 50:39
  This is this is cool. This just came finalized today.
• 50:43
  We are going to we are going to give away 20 tickets to the
• 50:48
  CrossFit Games. 20. 55 sets of 4I.
• 50:53
  Thought he was going to say $20,000. 3 Three sets for shot
• 50:57
  caller. I got my eyes opened up and then
• 50:59
  they closed real quick. Dude, John, this is a big prize.
• 51:04
  This is like, this is like over. It's probably like $1500 worth
• 51:08
  of. Oh no, it's, it's a big prize.
• 51:09
  It just doesn't apply to me. Because.
• 51:12
  I play these to, I play these to win, Tyler, I play these to win.
• 51:16
  Trying to have this big magnetic moment and John's like, yeah,
• 51:18
  whatever. Listen, I'm I'm a, I'm a
• 51:21
  participant, you know what I mean?
• 51:23
  I'm playing. I'm playing to win.
• 51:26
  Yeah, if you win the tickets, you got to give them away.
• 51:27
  That's only the right thing to do.
• 51:28
  I will sell them. 3 Three sets of four for shot Caller and two
• 51:34
  sets of four for top 10. So you better make your friggin
• 51:37
  picks. That's awesome though.
• 51:39
  It is huge. CrossFit.
• 51:41
  CrossFit helped us out on that. So they're showing us a little
• 51:44
  love. Guys, go play.
• 51:47
  This is the probably the biggest prize package we've had in a
• 51:50
  while. For sure.
• 51:51
  For sure the biggest prize package.
• 51:54
  Judy lives in New York, doesn't she?
• 51:56
  Yeah, Judy. Judy.
• 51:59
  No, Judy. Judy lives in Ohio of.
• 52:01
  Course I know. I have no idea the Clintons.
• 52:06
  Maybe. Maybe.
• 52:07
  Maybe. All right, so Tyler, we're going
• 52:10
  to go just, we're going to, John's going to go 10 through 1
• 52:14
  men and women. We're going to tell him why he's
• 52:15
  wrong. And if you need to download the
• 52:19
  Heat One app, download it right now.
• 52:20
  Thank you, Alan Pugh. It's go to the PA.
• 52:25
  So go to the App Store, Android or Apple and type in Heat 1 and
• 52:30
  you're ready to go. I'm just kidding, I'm sorry.
• 52:32
  I'll impute. Right John.
• 52:37
  Top ten men. OK, we're going to go.
• 52:39
  We're going to go 10 through one.
• 52:40
  Yeah. All right.
• 52:41
  My, I'm going to do 2 guys at once here.
• 52:45
  OK? My 10:00 and 9:00.
• 52:46
  OK. Zach Levy is my 10th and Ben
• 52:50
  Smith is my 9th. Are we going to do?
• 52:54
  We're just going to tell him why he's wrong.
• 52:55
  OK. Why is Zach Levy?
• 53:00
  Why is Zach Levy? Because Zach Levy is a he's he.
• 53:03
  I know he's a very powerful guy and I know there's 2 events that
• 53:07
  Zach Levy should do well in. I know he's going to do well in
• 53:09
  Heavy Isabel. I know he's going to do, he
• 53:11
  theoretically should do well at bag 9.
• 53:14
  And I think bag 9 is going to devastate people.
• 53:17
  I know the hundreds. If you have any kind of engine
• 53:19
  about you at all, it comes down to the front squats.
• 53:22
  I'm assuming Zach Levy's got good front squats.
• 53:25
  I did a lot of this is an assumption, but I know he's
• 53:27
  going to be good in those two events and so that's what I'm
• 53:30
  chalking it up to. If he's a trash handstand
• 53:32
  Walker, just pick screwed. But I didn't know anybody else,
• 53:34
  so that's who I'm rocking with. I will say when you look at the
• 53:37
  rosters of both because of how the season is.
• 53:41
  Following, Taylor has an announcement.
• 53:44
  Me and Bryson got the bunk beds, John, but your room doesn't have
• 53:46
  AC unfortunately. OK, sounds good.
• 53:55
  It's good. Stuff.
• 53:55
  Sorry about that. There's a lot of men and women
• 53:58
  who. Does my room really not have AC?
• 54:00
  No. OK, cool.
• 54:05
  There's a lot of I'm going to sleep naked.
• 54:07
  If it is, we're just going to deal with it.
• 54:10
  That's why I'm staying in my RV. There's a lot of men and women
• 54:14
  who this is our first, I'll say it call it semifinals
• 54:18
  appearance. Yes.
• 54:20
  If there are athletes who are up and coming who've made big
• 54:24
  strides over the last 12 months. Now's the time.
• 54:26
  We may not know about them and they could definitely surprise
• 54:29
  us. Correct.
• 54:31
  That's the thing, like I was talking with Barclay about this
• 54:34
  last night. The story of this one is of the
• 54:36
  syndicates. Actually, this is playing out
• 54:38
  better than I thought it would 'cause I think everybody's like,
• 54:40
  oh, I'm tuned out because all the big athletes made it.
• 54:44
  But now we're in that part of the season where it's like, it's
• 54:47
  like the little teams. So I don't know if you guys know
• 54:49
  how UK basketball works, but like 2-8 ball teams and five 8
• 54:53
  ball teams all go into the same bracket and so they're like
• 54:56
  literally just trying to make it.
• 54:58
  And so this is like a really important moment and it's
• 55:02
  nobody's show. I don't think anybody's a lock
• 55:05
  to win. So it's like we could see some
• 55:06
  people who've net we've we've never seen before really show
• 55:09
  out. Well, that's what we said.
• 55:10
  Like John thinks there's probably 7 women, five men who
• 55:14
  probably have a real like are in the running to.
• 55:16
  We would expect to have a shot at the top 2 to qualify.
• 55:20
  But it could be in any order. But it could be in any order.
• 55:23
  And don't be surprised if we see something that we've not really
• 55:26
  heard about or we've seen once before that has a really good
• 55:31
  weekend, that this programming suits them.
• 55:33
  And we're like, wow, who is this person?
• 55:35
  And by Sunday, we're rooting for him.
• 55:37
  Well, I'm thinking how fun was the women's field at Crash
• 55:42
  Crucible? Like Colton Connor ran with it
• 55:44
  and Taylor and Chris had their little thing right.
• 55:46
  And that was fun. But the women's feel that crash
• 55:49
  Crucible, none of us knew what was going to happen.
• 55:52
  They just kept like it was just roller coaster city.
• 55:57
  And then nobody believed in Brittany Weiss at all.
• 55:59
  I, I, I think we'll give credit to Angelo, to Chico.
• 56:02
  I think he said a lot of these events are good for Brittany
• 56:04
  because Brittany was first after day one.
• 56:06
  None of us thought that would hold.
• 56:08
  And I'm pretty sure I he he, I don't, I don't think he
• 56:10
  predicted her to win, but he did say Britney's really good at all
• 56:14
  a lot of these like I wouldn't shock me if she remained there.
• 56:17
  So we'll give him credit for that.
• 56:19
  But nobody knew how the women's field was going to shake up.
• 56:22
  And then it was just a bunch of bunch of roller coasters.
• 56:24
  We didn't know who Caitlin Sanders was and found out.
• 56:29
  And she's she's also here. She's got some crazy strengths
• 56:33
  along with some weaknesses, but like, I think we're like, Smith
• 56:38
  said. But we're gonna find out about
• 56:39
  new people, and that's always really, really exciting.
• 56:42
  I think that's I think it'll play out more in the shot caller
• 56:47
  is we could probably what do you think about the top those top
• 56:50
  athletes? We have a pretty good idea of
• 56:52
  who will do well in it, but we don't know who like, like
• 57:00
  Caitlin Bernardin last year at the West Coast.
• 57:03
  I mean I I called Caitlin Bernardin last year though.
• 57:06
  On the 1st event, yeah. Because you just listened to
• 57:09
  Pool Boy, Yeah. 100%. You had no, you had no idea.
• 57:13
  I just. Decided to trust him.
• 57:14
  On that, but are there? Yeah, but he also was saying
• 57:17
  Sanson was going to be great. I didn't trust him on that one
• 57:19
  though. So you just got to know when and
• 57:21
  which. Which one to trust them?
• 57:22
  Yeah. Yeah, you got to read.
• 57:23
  Old boys vibe you? Got to no, you got to research
• 57:27
  along with his his suggestions and be like, ah, maybe.
• 57:30
  And then you got to just, you know.
• 57:32
  So there's a chance where the the those with the with the shot
• 57:36
  caller, somebody is just really good at legless rope climbs or
• 57:39
  they're really good at right. And we just don't know because
• 57:44
  we've not seen them in a competition where they're
• 57:46
  running 400m intervals. Well, and to that point, from
• 57:51
  the two posts that I posted over the past couple days, and I'll
• 57:54
  say this because it like it, it doesn't matter where I end up
• 57:57
  placing in shot caller. Like if I win tickets, I'm going
• 57:59
  to like whoever's next. Gets.
• 58:00
  You're not going to be in the top three.
• 58:03
  You don't know that, that I've been getting some Intel of
• 58:06
  athletes, yes. When Crash.
• 58:10
  You didn't beat me in Crash. Yes, I did, John.
• 58:13
  I did. I play.
• 58:14
  In Crash, yes, you did because you said, Oh well, you only beat
• 58:18
  me because you know what? You did all your research on the
• 58:20
  athletes that I don't care about.
• 58:22
  Oh well, maybe that's the case. But anyway, good for you, Tyler.
• 58:25
  I I've been getting, I'm sorry, I've been giving me some Intel
• 58:28
  about the athletes who like don't have any data on them and
• 58:32
  like some of the heavy Isabel times, like some of these
• 58:35
  athletes that we don't really know about are going to have
• 58:37
  like could potentially win and win by a lot.
• 58:41
  All right. We're going to talk about them,
• 58:42
  right? We're going to talk about shot
• 58:43
  Cloud on here too. Yeah.
• 58:44
  Oh yeah. Yeah, OK.
• 58:45
  Tune into the spin every morning.
• 58:48
  Oh, I'm in today. No, we're gonna do that every
• 58:52
  every morning. So the very first thing every
• 58:54
  morning, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, we will be doing the
• 58:58
  spin to kick things off and we'll be walking through the
• 59:01
  shot caller, all the prop bets and that stuff.
• 59:04
  So all. Right.
• 59:05
  Anyway, back to the top ten. That was Zach Levy.
• 59:07
  My reason for Zach Levy, my number.
• 59:09
  Not my reason for Ben Smith, dude.
• 59:12
  I just think I know his Isabel is a competitive time.
• 59:17
  I don't think he's going to have a problem with the last workout.
• 59:20
  The last workout I think is going to obliterate a couple
• 59:23
  people like and and like like where they're doing great and
• 59:27
  then all of a sudden they just can't do it.
• 59:29
  Like a Lydia fish on the shoulder overhead and crash
• 59:33
  right? Or it just it just it just
• 59:34
  destroys her. And I think the last workout
• 59:37
  that's going to happen to a lot of people.
• 59:38
  I don't think that's going to happen to Ben.
• 59:40
  And then the other other, like he's just not.
• 59:42
  He's seen everything. I just think he's not gonna be
• 59:46
  bad at anything. I don't think he's gonna really
• 59:49
  be great at anything. I think Isabel might be his best
• 59:51
  score, but I don't think he's gonna be bad at anything.
• 59:54
  That's the thing I think with this programming that's.
• 59:57
  A solid 9th place. With this programming, I think
• 59:59
  what you're gonna see is of the 40 athlete field, I think you're
• 1:00:03
  gonna have 10 that can do it. Well, you're gonna have another
• 1:00:06
  10 who can do it, but they're struggling and they're like
• 1:00:09
  there's another 20 who are gonna be exposed every event.
• 1:00:11
  It's not the same 20. But I think you're going to see
• 1:00:14
  like you're going to see a big separation in it.
• 1:00:18
  And I think Ben is one of those who's never outside the top 20.
• 1:00:21
  Like he can do all of these things like nothing that is
• 1:00:23
  going to scare him. Now, he may not be have high
• 1:00:26
  enough finishes to do better than 9th.
• 1:00:28
  I have him 8th. But like, I think he's just one
• 1:00:32
  of those guys that, you know, 6th, 7th, 15th, 20th ends out
• 1:00:37
  where he doesn't have anything terrible and he ends up
• 1:00:40
  squeaking into the top 10. So we're all agreeing to my
• 1:00:45
  10:00 and 9:00. I mean, I'm OK with Levy.
• 1:00:47
  I have Quinn Robinson. He's a team athlete.
• 1:00:50
  This will be the first time we'll see him, I think on the
• 1:00:52
  individual side, all. Right.
• 1:00:55
  Do you are we going to do our our bottom 2?
• 1:00:58
  Are we going to do? Is he going to do his two and?
• 1:01:01
  Then you just comment on where you think like Ben is or.
• 1:01:04
  Who you have? I have Zach Levy at 10th.
• 1:01:06
  Oh. Look at there, Tyler.
• 1:01:09
  Ben and I have a very different place.
• 1:01:12
  All right, my 876, this is the next tier, if you will.
• 1:01:17
  OK. We got Connor Voltz, Tanner
• 1:01:20
  Velaz and Spencer Panchick. OK?
• 1:01:24
  I know both of you probably have Spencer Panchick higher and I
• 1:01:27
  don't know how many times I got to tell you, you cannot believe
• 1:01:30
  in a panchick whatsoever. Scott, where are you?
• 1:01:34
  Connor Voltz is very strong. I I think, I think Connor Voltz
• 1:01:38
  is, he's essentially he's my Zach Levy, but he's a little
• 1:01:43
  fitter. That's that's where I have him
• 1:01:45
  and those that's my, that's my reasoning.
• 1:01:47
  I think Tanner is a very beautiful.
• 1:01:49
  You remember he's very good at handstand walking.
• 1:01:51
  I think he's going to be good at that event and I think it's
• 1:01:53
  going to separate a lot of people.
• 1:01:58
  He's I also think he's going to be good at the 2223 intervals.
• 1:02:01
  Tanner's very fit. He's just not.
• 1:02:06
  He's doesn't have home run ability.
• 1:02:08
  In the strength department, he's not.
• 1:02:09
  Bad but. He's not, but he's not.
• 1:02:11
  He's not good. Either my my only concern about
• 1:02:14
  somebody if you're is I don't know much about Connor, but if
• 1:02:16
  he is truly one of the stronger athletes, Jr. does not program
• 1:02:24
  strength without fitness right? So that's my only concern with
• 1:02:28
  him. I I I almost put him in the top
• 1:02:31
  10 but I couldn't. I have Spencer 5th.
• 1:02:36
  I have Spencer at 8th. John has finally worked in on
• 1:02:40
  me. Oh.
• 1:02:41
  Wow, good job, Tyler. Good job, Tyler.
• 1:02:45
  It's a little too much, but good job.
• 1:02:46
  Tyler I do. I do have Tanner 9th though.
• 1:02:49
  I have Tanner at 4th. And Tyler's back, so we're just
• 1:02:57
  going to average the Tanner and Spencer placements and we'll put
• 1:03:00
  them together. He's got them.
• 1:03:02
  Both at 6th. And that's, that's where I'm,
• 1:03:04
  I'm cool with that. I think Tanner's really good at
• 1:03:09
  weird stuff. Not that this weekend is weird,
• 1:03:11
  but it's a lot more athletic than.
• 1:03:13
  Tanner's good at Jr. programming.
• 1:03:15
  I think Tanner is good at Jr. programming.
• 1:03:17
  Yeah, 100%. And so and Tanner, I mean like,
• 1:03:20
  dude, he's been training with Alexis and he likes to downplay
• 1:03:23
  like he's like, you know, I the job and like I have all these
• 1:03:26
  things, but like the dude trains like an animal and I think he's
• 1:03:29
  he's fitter now than he's ever been.
• 1:03:30
  He's, I think Tanner also gets in his head a little and I think
• 1:03:34
  he's more confident now than he's ever been.
• 1:03:36
  I do know Tanner personally and so I think this is the best
• 1:03:39
  version of. Tanner we've ever seen.
• 1:03:41
  We didn't. We didn't know.
• 1:03:42
  That sorry I I wanted to get that.
• 1:03:43
  By the passion, the passion was not showing through on your on
• 1:03:46
  your. Sorry, who was the other
• 1:03:54
  athlete? Sorry, John.
• 1:03:55
  It was, it was Connor, Connor Volta 8.
• 1:03:58
  I got Tanner Belazz at 7 and Spencer Panchik at six.
• 1:04:01
  Where you have those guys is we average them is about the same.
• 1:04:06
  Spin hasn't learned quite yet with the Panchik stuff.
• 1:04:10
  And then I think we're on to the next year.
• 1:04:12
  Yeah. I want, I want Spencer to do
• 1:04:14
  better because we have never like I, I like the Panchik and
• 1:04:17
  we need, we need to save your brother right now.
• 1:04:22
  Dude, when you want them to do something, they will never do
• 1:04:26
  it. I just hope I'm not wanting.
• 1:04:29
  I'm just hoping, OK. All right, 5th and 4th, John.
• 1:04:34
  OK, I'm going to go by 5. OK, we can.
• 1:04:37
  No, I'm going to go 543. I'm going to go 54.
• 1:04:40
  Three. Oh damn, no, go 54. 5454 OK.
• 1:04:45
  OK, my 5 is Jack Rosema and my 4 is Seth Stovall and I know
• 1:04:52
  Tyler's got Seth Stovall winning probably I know I know Tyler, I
• 1:04:56
  know Spin's probably got Jack Rosema up there in the top 2.
• 1:04:59
  And whenever you guys think I'm wrong, watch him wait and see
• 1:05:03
  what happens and then we'll we'll come back to this.
• 1:05:06
  OK, this is AI. I'm I'm not going to promise
• 1:05:08
  because I can always be wrong. And, and any of these five
• 1:05:12
  people, right? I said the top five.
• 1:05:13
  Any of these five I think could get the top 2 spots.
• 1:05:17
  This is one of these ones where I think I'm going to have a
• 1:05:19
  different top 2 than everybody. And just like FISA Gaffi and
• 1:05:23
  Abby Dolman, it's going to come to fruition.
• 1:05:28
  Those are my two guys that are going to take it and go to the
• 1:05:30
  games. Yep.
• 1:05:32
  No. And I, I, I, I, I figured it
• 1:05:34
  might be. Go ahead, Tyler.
• 1:05:37
  John, I'm offended. Seth Sovall is not my number one
• 1:05:40
  spot. Jack Rosama is my number one
• 1:05:43
  spot. And Seth's number 2.
• 1:05:45
  Seth is #3. Oh, OK, good.
• 1:05:49
  Tyler, you're better than normal.
• 1:05:51
  So who Who is The Who gets the Tyler Christafell Award for 3rd
• 1:05:55
  place? Well, hold.
• 1:05:57
  Hold on, hold on. Seth.
• 1:06:00
  OK, I love this prediction. I, I, I love that prediction.
• 1:06:06
  Tyler, Seth. Is an athlete that I've wanted
• 1:06:10
  to make it for so long. He's so good.
• 1:06:13
  He's a freak. He's built like no other human
• 1:06:15
  I've ever seen. He needs to go to the games.
• 1:06:19
  I want him to prove me wrong. This is a part where I'm playing
• 1:06:22
  with Jon the the part Jon usually plays, which is I need
• 1:06:26
  to see it. And from Seth, we haven't seen
• 1:06:28
  it. And so I'm not going to be he's.
• 1:06:29
  Done multiple times of just not good enough, right?
• 1:06:33
  Multiple times. That's crazy that he said that
• 1:06:38
  about Seth. I think we should put more
• 1:06:40
  respect on Seth's name and saying that.
• 1:06:41
  I totally huge respect on Seth. Sean third.
• 1:06:47
  So I don't want to say I want to say something.
• 1:06:51
  Shoot, Tyler, you made me lose my train of thought.
• 1:06:53
  OK? Oh, wait, wait, wait, wait.
• 1:06:54
  So when I said Fee was going to win Mayhem, did anybody believe
• 1:06:57
  in that ever? Anybody.
• 1:06:59
  No. You.
• 1:07:01
  All you all looked at me like I was crazy and what happened All
• 1:07:05
  right, that's all I want to say. OK, whenever it's.
• 1:07:07
  You got lucky once. Whenever what?
• 1:07:09
  I get lucky every freaking time we do something, OK?
• 1:07:12
  Like when, when, when I go out on a limb.
• 1:07:16
  Y'all need to learn how y'all need to learn.
• 1:07:17
  Maybe he's on to something. OK, my third my just short.
• 1:07:23
  I actually love the Tyler theory.
• 1:07:26
  And when Tyler's not wrong, when he says somebody's just not good
• 1:07:29
  enough. I didn't say he wasn't good
• 1:07:31
  enough. That's what but but but you said
• 1:07:34
  he's the Tyler Christopher L role and that's all I.
• 1:07:37
  Said no. This is the Tyler Christopher
• 1:07:38
  Ward. Yeah, yeah, but I'm not going to
• 1:07:41
  bet against Tyler ever when he says it's.
• 1:07:43
  Seth quits on a workout. I will.
• 1:07:45
  Lose my My third place is George Sterner.
• 1:07:51
  OK, I think George, I think George stroner's going to be
• 1:07:53
  really, really good in a lot of these workouts.
• 1:07:56
  And I George Stroner is my Tyler Kristenfeld award because I
• 1:07:59
  think the sandbag at the end is going to crush him.
• 1:08:03
  He's a smaller guy. He he's very technical, like his
• 1:08:07
  Isabel is very good, but he he squat snatches every single one.
• 1:08:13
  But the pacing of it, the fitness of it and like he never
• 1:08:16
  faced one bit almost Colton Merton's desk is just not as fit
• 1:08:21
  as Colton right do. You think he's going to be top 2
• 1:08:24
  going into the final event? I do, I do.
• 1:08:27
  I think he's going to be top 2 going into the last event and I
• 1:08:29
  think 8 guys are going to pass him up on the last sandbag.
• 1:08:32
  I think, I think the last sandbag is going to crush him
• 1:08:35
  and he's going to get, he might get there second or first and
• 1:08:37
  then eight guys are going to pass him up and that's going to
• 1:08:39
  be your Tyler Christopher. He's going to.
• 1:08:43
  Fail 9th sandbag. Yeah, no, I mean he's going to
• 1:08:46
  fail before that, but but he's he's not the 9th one.
• 1:08:50
  He's going to fail like the 7th one just going.
• 1:08:52
  To walk around, it's going to be like the full low moment.
• 1:08:55
  And that's, and George Sterner is my third, is my third play
• 1:08:58
  and I think he's going to be in a position to win it.
• 1:09:00
  I have I have George Sterner, 6th.
• 1:09:03
  I have George Sterner at 7th I don't know much about.
• 1:09:05
  Him, man. All right, so this this is this
• 1:09:08
  is the pick then for you guys that I'm like, hey, this guy's a
• 1:09:11
  lot better than you think. What was that snowboarder's
• 1:09:14
  name? Jason.
• 1:09:16
  Was it Jason? Shaun White.
• 1:09:19
  No, he was a cross fitter. Jason.
• 1:09:23
  Bourne, he's he was like circa 20.
• 1:09:25
  He was at the California Regional.
• 1:09:29
  He went to the game little guy. But anyway, George Sterner
• 1:09:32
  reminds me of him. No.
• 1:09:34
  I don't know, but he only went to games like a year.
• 1:09:39
  But anyway, when I see George, he looks like like a normal
• 1:09:43
  Crossfitter that just somehow made it out onto the field.
• 1:09:46
  Yeah, and I, I love it. It's like it's one of us.
• 1:09:49
  Like can you do it? I like George.
• 1:09:51
  I think it kind of goes to it's the opposite, but the same as my
• 1:09:55
  Connor Volt's concern of Jr. programs strength with fitness.
• 1:10:00
  The fitness is also with the strength and so like.
• 1:10:04
  Jason Carroll. That was good, Jason.
• 1:10:06
  Carroll, that was it. Can.
• 1:10:07
  Can he? He's going to probably dig
• 1:10:11
  himself a hole the first the first event.
• 1:10:14
  George Turner. Isabel.
• 1:10:15
  Yeah, you want to bet money? He's not top five.
• 1:10:20
  You want to bet money? Yeah, whatever said he's not top
• 1:10:23
  five. Zero chance.
• 1:10:25
  Hold on, hold on, let me do math.
• 1:10:28
  Zero Chance Jonas 0. Chance.
• 1:10:30
  I will bet money he's top 7. Go for it, I take it.
• 1:10:35
  I will bet you $100 is top 7. Whatever, that's fine, yeah.
• 1:10:40
  He's. Not top five, He's not Top 7,
• 1:10:43
  not. A chance Are we betting?
• 1:10:44
  No chance, John all. Right bet.
• 1:10:50
  Put it in and spins making notes.
• 1:10:53
  John owes me $100. Hey, when have I lost one of
• 1:10:56
  these? Always you just don't pay out so
• 1:11:00
  you don't lose If I if I. Lose.
• 1:11:02
  I pay immediately. Ask Taylor.
• 1:11:05
  You. Ever get your money?
• 1:11:08
  All right, all right. That means one and two are Luke
• 1:11:13
  and Ty. Yeah, my number 2 is Ty Jenkins.
• 1:11:17
  Little bit of a heart pick, I understand.
• 1:11:20
  This so hold on so Tyler gets in trouble for picking Tanner up
• 1:11:23
  there but you're OK picking? Yeah, because it ties in the
• 1:11:26
  running to actually do it, I think, I think you guys would
• 1:11:28
  agree with that. It's a little bit of a, it's a
• 1:11:32
  little bit of a heart pick. I understand the first event is
• 1:11:35
  going to be his worst event. OK, I want this to happen and I
• 1:11:42
  think he'll be in the running for it.
• 1:11:43
  I have. Listen, if it's not Ty, it's
• 1:11:46
  George and y'all both don't believe in that dude.
• 1:11:51
  Again, it would not surprise me if Jack made it or if Seth
• 1:11:55
  Stovall made it. It would not surprise me at all.
• 1:11:57
  I think they're all in the running, right?
• 1:11:59
  But I I think Ty is actually fitter than pretty much
• 1:12:04
  everybody that it's in this field.
• 1:12:08
  He's just not. Is he strong enough?
• 1:12:10
  Hey Barkley, what are the odds of top seven?
• 1:12:12
  Top 10 is different. Top 7 is what the matters.
• 1:12:17
  Where's Ty here? What Ty for me.
• 1:12:22
  Yeah, Where do you have him? I have a fourth, I have Luke
• 1:12:25
  third. Luke Parker and I have Luke
• 1:12:28
  Parker as my winner. I don't see a thing that he's
• 1:12:32
  going to be batting. He is a the hometown boy here.
• 1:12:36
  I have Ty at we. We already made the batsman.
• 1:12:41
  90%. And listen, listen.
• 1:12:43
  And then I just had feelings when the computer backs me up.
• 1:12:46
  When the computer backs me up, it's a wrap.
• 1:12:48
  OK, it's negated I've. Negated.
• 1:12:51
  I've beaten the computer more than the computer has beaten me,
• 1:12:54
  but when we agree, it's a wrap. We'll see.
• 1:12:58
  Hey, this is a site. Hold on.
• 1:12:59
  One minute, 1 pause one second. Look at this site over here.
• 1:13:03
  This is something I went too far. 8:40. 7 Which where do I go
• 1:13:07
  that way this way. This is a site you rarely get to
• 1:13:12
  see the squad squadding up. Even Brad ass Raff right here.
• 1:13:20
  They're they're prepping, dude. We're we prep.
• 1:13:22
  Are we count? Are we counting him in the
• 1:13:24
  squad? He's not like.
• 1:13:25
  He's he's got a bed, John. Yeah, but he's not like in in
• 1:13:29
  it. Anyway, Luke.
• 1:13:31
  Luke. Parker, Luke Parker is my winner
• 1:13:34
  and like and like my only reasoning, my only reasoning.
• 1:13:37
  I don't, I don't have good, good faith in this.
• 1:13:39
  I'm not going to say he's going to go off and run it.
• 1:13:41
  I'm that's not like my Hatfield's going to win the
• 1:13:43
  World Finish Party. It's not like that at all.
• 1:13:45
  I just think there's nothing that Luke is bad at in this
• 1:13:49
  competition and for this in this programming, and I know he's
• 1:13:54
  going to be very good at Isabel. I know Jack's going to run away
• 1:13:56
  and win Isabel easily, but I know Luke is going to be good at
• 1:13:59
  Isabel. I think Luke is the type of guy
• 1:14:02
  who's going to go for it in the last event and then do 9
• 1:14:05
  unbroken sandbag cleans in the very last bit and end up winning
• 1:14:09
  that event. Like Luke is the type of guy
• 1:14:12
  who's 3rd place or fourth place, 3rd, 4th place and then wins the
• 1:14:18
  last event to make him be first. Place in fifth Brakes.
• 1:14:22
  What about brakes? George's heart. 3rd, 4th, 5th
• 1:14:25
  place here's and yeah, Luke is that guy.
• 1:14:28
  Wait, like Callum Clements won and took it away from?
• 1:14:30
  Who did he take it away from? He took away from somebody that
• 1:14:33
  we thought was going to make it. You remember Boss Heart Colin
• 1:14:37
  Boshart, he was like 8th place and then he melted to the
• 1:14:40
  lunges. Calum Clements had like the
• 1:14:41
  second fastest time in the world, right?
• 1:14:44
  And then he just took his GameSpot away.
• 1:14:46
  That's what's going to happen to George Sterner and Luke Parker
• 1:14:49
  in the very last event and Ty Jenkins just going to be like
• 1:14:53
  pace King, like a James Sprague almost, but like your eyes are
• 1:14:56
  extreme and just have an even keeled time.
• 1:14:59
  Nothing crazy, nothing bad, and just be second place Tyler.
• 1:15:05
  Luke Parker, I, I hope you make it to the games.
• 1:15:10
  I have him at 6th place. I think he's just cooked, man.
• 1:15:15
  It's, it's too much time on the road, it's too much travel, it's
• 1:15:18
  not enough training. If he pulls it off, it's a very
• 1:15:22
  Travis Mayer asked performance. I think he's going to pull it
• 1:15:25
  off at the last second. Total faith in dude.
• 1:15:29
  Love watching him go to the game.
• 1:15:30
  He's an entertaining cat. I don't think he's going to make
• 1:15:33
  it. All right.
• 1:15:34
  Do you have one too? My number 2 is big drum roll Ben
• 1:15:43
  Smith. OK, in my defense, listen.
• 1:15:48
  Listen. Did you honestly ask if I
• 1:15:50
  actually win the top ten? I'm going to give the tickets
• 1:15:52
  away. You got Ben Smith is number 2.
• 1:15:55
  You're shitting all over it right now.
• 1:15:57
  Tell me this is bad programming for Ben Smith.
• 1:16:00
  Tell me this is the most I'll tell you, Ben.
• 1:16:03
  Smith is not fit. Sam, who's going?
• 1:16:07
  To be doing everything. He's been competing as much as
• 1:16:10
  the individuals he'll be out there for Isabel and Kill Taylor
• 1:16:16
  and I think athletes. Yo, Sam, if you win all three
• 1:16:20
  and like you beat Austin and athletes only, you beat Taylor
• 1:16:24
  in a workout that Jr. Thinks Taylor can beat everybody
• 1:16:26
  in the world. And then you beat me and Isabel.
• 1:16:29
  I will go on live TV and say that you might be the fittest
• 1:16:32
  man in the world if you could just go.
• 1:16:35
  Fittest unknown man. And beat and beat everybody.
• 1:16:38
  Yeah, Sam. Would be fitter than than Ben
• 1:16:41
  Smith. You will be on like Sam.
• 1:16:43
  I will put you on top of the mountain if you go 3 for three.
• 1:16:49
  That would be like a Harlem Globetrotters kind of thing.
• 1:16:51
  Like you win all the sideshows but not the show?
• 1:16:55
  Itself, you can't. You can't make it to the games
• 1:16:56
  as an individual. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 1:16:58
  But look, I'm sorry. That's the fastest way.
• 1:17:00
  That's the fastest trip to top. You know how pissed Alan and
• 1:17:03
  Jason are going to be if Sam de Meester is on top of the
• 1:17:06
  mountain before them. He's not even going to the games
• 1:17:09
  and he's on the top of the mountain.
• 1:17:10
  Because he goes 3 for three in this.
• 1:17:13
  But listen, my Ben Smith pick, it's one of those picks where
• 1:17:16
  it's the it's that horse, it's the the 35 to one odds.
• 1:17:20
  I understand it's a it's an outlier pick, but when I get it,
• 1:17:24
  man, I'm going to rub it in. And when I don't get it, I'll be
• 1:17:26
  like, Yep. Nobody expected.
• 1:17:28
  I, I have an honest question, Tyler, and I'm not, I'm not
• 1:17:31
  trying to be mean to you at all. I promise you do not take this
• 1:17:34
  like I'm trying to be mean to you.
• 1:17:36
  When you're picking somebody for it to like be a good thing, not
• 1:17:39
  a bad thing. And it's like this.
• 1:17:42
  Has it ever happened? Yeah.
• 1:17:44
  When? I couldn't tell you.
• 1:17:46
  What rich frody in 2014? Yep.
• 1:17:49
  That's not that's, that's not, that's not it, that's not it.
• 1:17:52
  That's not what I'm looking for. Who you have winning tie?
• 1:17:58
  Jake, I have Luke. Parker.
• 1:18:00
  I have Luke Parker winning. I have tie tie Jenkins, 2nd
• 1:18:04
  place. George Sterner is going to play
• 1:18:06
  the Christopher role. Poor Tyler.
• 1:18:08
  Christopher, I hate talking about about him like this.
• 1:18:11
  Tyler, you've kind of, you've kind of taken that over like
• 1:18:13
  it's, it's, it's, I accept it. I accept it.
• 1:18:16
  It's real. I got Seth Stovall 4th and I got
• 1:18:19
  Jack 5th, and I think any one of those five guys can actually get
• 1:18:22
  those two spots. So I have one, I have one guy in
• 1:18:25
  the top ten that you haven't mentioned.
• 1:18:27
  That's and this is a little bit more of a Homer pick.
• 1:18:29
  I have my one RJ Mestry, he's a teen teen guy who just graduated
• 1:18:35
  from the teen division. Yeah, I have him in 7th.
• 1:18:42
  Little bit of a flyer R. JRJ Master.
• 1:18:45
  Mestre yeah, I have Brandon Smith in 9th.
• 1:18:49
  That's my Homer pick. That is 4 barrels.
• 1:18:52
  Pick 4 barrels. Glass at 4th.
• 1:18:54
  That's what. No, I think that's legitimate.
• 1:18:56
  John Tanner could pull that off. I know you do.
• 1:19:02
  I I hope he does, just to see you grin from here to here
• 1:19:05
  before I will give you all of your flowers.
• 1:19:07
  Before we move on to the women, one thing I will say about, I
• 1:19:10
  think some people have been saying, well, Ty just beat Jack
• 1:19:12
  in the Challenger division at World Fitness Project.
• 1:19:15
  They were using kid weights. I think when it gets heavier,
• 1:19:19
  Jack holds the benefit, gets the advantage on that when it when
• 1:19:24
  the weights actually get heavy compared to the Challenger
• 1:19:27
  division. The Challenger division, they
• 1:19:28
  were doing 50 LB dumbbells. They were doing 150 LB sandbags.
• 1:19:33
  Yep. I don't think they go there.
• 1:19:34
  I think that's where Jack beats out Ty.
• 1:19:37
  All right, women, John. Top ten women.
• 1:19:40
  All right, top ten women. I know I'm going to disappoint
• 1:19:42
  y'all in the first. The first.
• 1:19:44
  This first little bit. My 10th pick is Lydia Fish now.
• 1:19:52
  Yeah, 9th. I have Nina Brockovich, but I
• 1:19:56
  will talk about Lydia because I know everybody loves Lydia,
• 1:19:58
  myself included. I tried to look up Lydia's
• 1:20:00
  Isabel time spin and it's not there because she didn't do in
• 1:20:04
  affiliate semifinals and I just think it's going to go really
• 1:20:11
  bad. I think heavy, Isabel.
• 1:20:15
  Sweet bad one. For I I I I wouldn't be shocked
• 1:20:19
  if she got caps and I just think I think heavy Isabel is like
• 1:20:23
  enough to just knock her out right?
• 1:20:27
  Like as far as like being like a legitimate contender.
• 1:20:29
  That's unfortunate, but like, it just it is what it is.
• 1:20:33
  And I have I have her 8th and I have Nina 7th.
• 1:20:36
  OK. And yeah, Nina Brockovich is
• 1:20:38
  going to be great at the great at Isabel.
• 1:20:41
  Not relatively. I don't think she's going to, I
• 1:20:43
  don't think she's going to be top five in Isabel, but I do
• 1:20:48
  think she'll be, you know, get points.
• 1:20:51
  I I mean I don't even know if top 10 is she'll do.
• 1:20:55
  Well, in Isabel. She will.
• 1:20:57
  She's. Going to do good in.
• 1:20:57
  Isabel yeah, and she's going to do very good at the handstand
• 1:21:00
  walking event. I don't know if she's just good
• 1:21:03
  on the ramps as she is on flat ground because her speed is what
• 1:21:06
  stuck out on the flat ground. Lydia could not handstand walk
• 1:21:10
  with her hand for hand. It's just Lydia paced that
• 1:21:12
  better and you know, did the GHDS faster, but like actual
• 1:21:16
  speed she couldn't keep up with her.
• 1:21:18
  So, but I don't know if she's just good at the ramp, if she
• 1:21:21
  has straight speed. Those are two different things.
• 1:21:23
  Everybody can't beat Matt Rote and then my 8 and my 7.
• 1:21:29
  I just bragged on him, but he's going to hate this.
• 1:21:31
  My #8 is Caitlin Sanders. One of Caitlin's worst events
• 1:21:37
  was the handstand walk event at Crash Crucible.
• 1:21:40
  I can't imagine the ramps going to make that any better.
• 1:21:44
  She should be good at Isabel, but I just think I think
• 1:21:46
  Caitlin's going to have, you know, what Jr. is really good is
• 1:21:49
  at exposing people her want. Her second worst event was the
• 1:21:54
  legless rope climb event. And so these are two events that
• 1:21:58
  are going to go not great for her and the field and the field
• 1:22:01
  is better than it was at Crash Crucible.
• 1:22:04
  The top 10 is I think, I think we'll see a lot of women on the
• 1:22:10
  legless rope, climb the the cut rope be really struggle in this
• 1:22:15
  field. Again, it goes back to 10 will
• 1:22:17
  be fine, 20 will be OK. And then those, those bottom 20,
• 1:22:21
  if you're not good at it, it could get really, really ugly.
• 1:22:24
  Now, I would, I would say, but like it is a minimum work
• 1:22:27
  requirement. So if you don't make it, you're
• 1:22:28
  not going to sit there and struggle.
• 1:22:30
  You're just done, your workout's over.
• 1:22:32
  And that means we're going to have a lot of ties too.
• 1:22:34
  So it kind of like depends where you are in that.
• 1:22:37
  And then my 7th place is Lexie Neely.
• 1:22:41
  Now Lexie Neely is a home run queen.
• 1:22:45
  Lexie Neely is amazing at handstand walking and very
• 1:22:49
  strong. But the problem, the problem
• 1:22:55
  with Lexie Neely is she's just not super fit.
• 1:23:00
  So when it comes to fitness, the yoke run that comes to mind, the
• 1:23:06
  hundreds come to mind. Now she's an excellent squatter.
• 1:23:08
  So it's, you know, I think she's fit enough that she'll actually
• 1:23:11
  do pretty good in the hundreds workout.
• 1:23:13
  But the yoke run I think is going to go real, real bad.
• 1:23:15
  The two 2-3 I don't think is going to be great.
• 1:23:19
  And then the sandbag muscle up. I don't I don't, I just don't
• 1:23:23
  know. Maybe she's awesome.
• 1:23:24
  Maybe she's not a brute strength is much different, much more
• 1:23:28
  different than technical strength.
• 1:23:30
  And she's very technically strong.
• 1:23:33
  She's a good Olympic lifter, but that doesn't equal brute
• 1:23:36
  strength. It's it's, it's different.
• 1:23:38
  There's a reason he doesn't win all the sandbag workouts.
• 1:23:42
  I know he's still up there, but there's a reason he doesn't blow
• 1:23:44
  everybody out of the water. And Hopper can still get him in
• 1:23:46
  summer. Frakowski can get him in
• 1:23:47
  something like that, right? Or like you think about the
• 1:23:52
  sandbag Isabel, he wasn't there. He was like 7th or something in
• 1:23:55
  that, right? Like brute strength is wildly
• 1:23:57
  different. So I don't know how she's going
• 1:23:59
  to be on that one. I'm just kind of chalking it up.
• 1:24:02
  And so I have her 7th. I think she's going to be top
• 1:24:05
  five in maybe two or three events, and then I think she's
• 1:24:07
  going to be outside the top 15 in two or three events.
• 1:24:12
  I have her 4th. Oh so.
• 1:24:14
  You think she's going to be great?
• 1:24:15
  Tell me about it. I mean, I think I think the.
• 1:24:19
  Lexi Neely. Yes, Fourth, she made it to the
• 1:24:23
  Games last year. Like she's not some slouch.
• 1:24:26
  Yeah. I.
• 1:24:28
  I think she's sneaky fit. We won't talk about her too much
• 1:24:32
  except for the handstand walk event.
• 1:24:35
  But I think outside of the the run yoke, I think she's going to
• 1:24:39
  be in there top ten, top five a couple times.
• 1:24:45
  Like I I think that's her only bad events could be the run.
• 1:24:49
  Wait here, but I will, I will tell you this, the field is for
• 1:24:53
  the women. The drop off in talent is so big
• 1:24:56
  that like an Erica Fola or somebody that might have a hole
• 1:25:00
  in an event like not be very good in an event.
• 1:25:03
  It's still going to be like 8th in the event she's not very good
• 1:25:06
  at because she's still better than fringe semi finals girls,
• 1:25:10
  you know what I mean? She's just not better than
• 1:25:12
  games. It depends on where Lexi is in
• 1:25:14
  that situation, right? Like her running maybe?
• 1:25:18
  No, no, no. Lexi's bad.
• 1:25:20
  Bad. OK.
• 1:25:21
  I mean, I, I hear you, but if the women's leaderboard is what
• 1:25:25
  you say it is, where it's going to be kind of going up and down
• 1:25:27
  like. I got you, Lexi.
• 1:25:29
  'S weaknesses are. Worse than Folo's weaknesses?
• 1:25:32
  If it's like crash and it goes up and down, then it's just
• 1:25:35
  leaderboard is just shuffling every single time it plays to
• 1:25:38
  Lexi not having a very good workout.
• 1:25:41
  No. And I and and I would.
• 1:25:44
  OK, and like I said, and, and what, how many women did I say
• 1:25:47
  have a chance for top 2? 5.
• 1:25:51
  I said 7. There's five men. 07 Gosh close.
• 1:25:56
  So I said seven. I said seven women for a reason.
• 1:25:59
  I think Lexi Neely can be higher than 7th, right?
• 1:26:02
  I think she can be. I can.
• 1:26:04
  Yeah, I think she can be 4th. I just her fit.
• 1:26:09
  She's the least fit one out of a 7 when it comes to like actual
• 1:26:13
  fitness engine lungs and so that's why I have her.
• 1:26:17
  That's why I have her 7th. She's already.
• 1:26:19
  She she bought, she got rid of her car and she runs everywhere
• 1:26:22
  in Indianapolis now. But hey.
• 1:26:24
  But then I predict first then I predict her 4th but like but she
• 1:26:27
  can be top two. She might could have a miracle
• 1:26:30
  run and make it. I don't put it out of the realm
• 1:26:32
  of impossibility for her to make the games, but I just have her
• 1:26:36
  said she's the 7th one out of this tier.
• 1:26:38
  Have you guys ever held these mics?
• 1:26:41
  No, it's not supposed to be. There's no heavy the big old
• 1:26:44
  boys. Well, he's holding on right now.
• 1:26:47
  This one by ours, they're so heavy.
• 1:26:50
  Anyway, all right, we're going. My my 6:00 and 5:00 is Shelby
• 1:26:54
  Neal and and Erica Folo. I have Shelby Neal at 9th.
• 1:27:01
  She's trash. Folo I have.
• 1:27:07
  Shelby's been to the Games won, Alex and Neely has.
• 1:27:09
  Did you see her at Mayhem? Yeah, different programming,
• 1:27:13
  man. And you know, it was hot.
• 1:27:15
  What kind of? Programming hot.
• 1:27:18
  I think Shelby, I think Shelby Neal is is better than her
• 1:27:23
  performance at Mayhem. Needs to be.
• 1:27:26
  I, I don't like, I think people hyped her up really, really hard
• 1:27:31
  and then she wasn't as good as people think.
• 1:27:34
  But now, now it's the opposite. Just like Justin Medeiros, like
• 1:27:37
  people wanted to leave Justin Medeiros so hard.
• 1:27:39
  And I'm like, guys, he's still probably, you know, one of the
• 1:27:42
  seven fittest guys in the world. Shelby Neal is still top seven
• 1:27:46
  in this field. I everybody wants to leave her a
• 1:27:49
  hard right now. Like she's still very, very fit.
• 1:27:53
  She's just not perennial games fit.
• 1:27:55
  And it depends on the programming if she makes it.
• 1:27:57
  I've heard fifth. Who was the other?
• 1:28:02
  What was your four or five, John?
• 1:28:04
  My 5 was Erica Folo. Wrong again.
• 1:28:08
  Tyler's got her top 2 all right. Next up 4th and 3rd.
• 1:28:12
  Tyler just thinks she's the most marketable athlete that's ever
• 1:28:15
  been. Is she not tell me I'm wrong?
• 1:28:18
  I think you have to be fitter to be the most marketable athlete.
• 1:28:21
  Look at Danny. Stop it right now, Tyler their.
• 1:28:26
  Instagram accounts are a little different.
• 1:28:28
  They're. Slightly different.
• 1:28:30
  Look. Look, Erica.
• 1:28:32
  Erica is the pink. Erica is the pink powerhouse,
• 1:28:35
  OK? Danny is pink power lips.
• 1:28:37
  And I'm not talking about the ones on her mouth, OK?
• 1:28:40
  Oh. Man, that's getting they're.
• 1:28:43
  Different. I'm going to take my leave.
• 1:28:45
  It's different. It's different is all I'm
• 1:28:47
  saying. Somebody clip it and show it to.
• 1:28:51
  Her don't clip it, don't clip it.
• 1:28:54
  Yeah, don't do that. All right, John 4th.
• 1:28:57
  I think men are sick and I hate that she preys on them. 4th
• 1:29:01
  place. My 4th place, Are we going to go
• 1:29:05
  4th? Just 4th.
• 1:29:08
  This breaks my heart is Sydney Wells.
• 1:29:13
  I thought you were going to say. I know a lot of people want
• 1:29:15
  Sydney to do great, but I have her 4th place.
• 1:29:20
  OK, I have Sydney in 7th. That wouldn't get me cancelled,
• 1:29:31
  would it? That right there.
• 1:29:33
  He's yes, it would, John. He's.
• 1:29:35
  Getting I can't say I can't say that.
• 1:29:37
  No, you should have. Said it on this.
• 1:29:40
  Shit, what is the difference? You tell me the difference
• 1:29:43
  between pink power low and and. Booster the equator.
• 1:29:49
  Booster seat Lydia and pink power lips.
• 1:29:51
  If we have to explain it, John, we've already lost.
• 1:29:53
  Yeah, it it actually, if it's below the clavicle, we're not
• 1:29:57
  talking about it, men or women. I'm going to say thick legged
• 1:30:02
  thing on one of these things. That's OK.
• 1:30:03
  That, that'll pass. That's pass.
• 1:30:05
  I'll just Carolyn will be OK with that.
• 1:30:09
  All right, I. Don't.
• 1:30:10
  I don't like how Danny Spiegel makes money.
• 1:30:12
  I don't know how to make that noise here.
• 1:30:14
  What we had no idea. All right, who gets the Tyler
• 1:30:19
  Christopher Award? Tyler Christopher award goes
• 1:30:22
  This also breaks my heart. He's not going to like it if
• 1:30:27
  he's watching it. But Kyra, It's Kyra Milliken.
• 1:30:31
  I have, I have Kyra. 3rd now, but now listen, listen, this is
• 1:30:34
  it's not Tyler Christopher because I think she's going to
• 1:30:37
  do amazing in the last event, possibly win the last event and
• 1:30:41
  that's why she's third. Like I think she's going to be
• 1:30:44
  like 6th place going into the last event.
• 1:30:46
  And then she home runs the last event and and now it's a a A2
• 1:30:51
  screen on if my second or my third place goes in and and it's
• 1:30:56
  just enough. Kyra didn't do it right, but
• 1:30:58
  she's the one who's going to make noise to even make it
• 1:31:00
  happen. Samuel.
• 1:31:03
  I hate the game too. I think men are dogs.
• 1:31:07
  I hate it. I hate it so much.
• 1:31:10
  OK, I hate, but I hate the players that play in the game.
• 1:31:13
  I hate the whole thing. Now we're going to get off of
• 1:31:15
  it, OK? It's making me mad.
• 1:31:17
  All right, Top 2. I think I have the same as you
• 1:31:22
  then, John. My top 2 is Carolyn Stanley and
• 1:31:25
  Brooke Wells. I think Brooke Wells is.
• 1:31:28
  Didn't you just say that Brooke? People playing Brooke first is
• 1:31:31
  just crazy. I didn't say that.
• 1:31:34
  I said a lot of people are are putting Brooke Wells and I'm
• 1:31:40
  going to too, but it's not it's not because it's Brooke Wells
• 1:31:44
  and she's like made the games a whole bunch.
• 1:31:46
  That's not why. You think it's an uneducated
• 1:31:49
  decision That's. No, I, I think Brooke Wells is
• 1:31:51
  going to be top three and Isabel Sydney's not.
• 1:31:54
  Like if you want to bring up like the twins and why they're
• 1:31:56
  different, I think there are three events where there's a
• 1:31:59
  huge gap between those two. And I think the snap the
• 1:32:04
  Isabel's one of them. If you look up Brooks Isabel and
• 1:32:06
  you look up Cindy's Isabel, it's like a whole freaking minute of
• 1:32:08
  a difference. And I don't know how it's that
• 1:32:10
  much, but it is that much. And that if that means
• 1:32:12
  something, that means one's a lot stronger than the other.
• 1:32:15
  I think she's going to do the same thing in the sandbags.
• 1:32:17
  They're both bad at ring muscle UPS.
• 1:32:18
  It's not like Sydney's better. We already know that, right?
• 1:32:22
  So I think the if the last event there's going to be a gap and
• 1:32:25
  Brooke Wells is still one of the best handstand walkers in the
• 1:32:28
  game. People for like to forget that.
• 1:32:31
  I understand guys, she doesn't know how to do a burpee, but one
• 1:32:35
  of those judges know reps her. She'll get her chest to the
• 1:32:38
  freaking ground. OK.
• 1:32:40
  I just think I think a handstand walk, the last event and Isabel
• 1:32:44
  are all going to be very, very good finishes for her.
• 1:32:47
  I don't think general fit. I think the yoke run is a
• 1:32:50
  possible win for her. She's a 400m runner in her past
• 1:32:54
  life. Sydney might beat her in the 400
• 1:32:55
  in the yoke run, but it doesn't matter because they're getting
• 1:32:57
  gapped in those other 3, right? I don't see a place where Brooke
• 1:33:03
  is bad. Her worst event might be the
• 1:33:05
  2223, and I think a lot of women are going to struggle with that.
• 1:33:10
  And it definitely ain't fine over Sidney, you know what I
• 1:33:12
  mean? Like, I just think I think
• 1:33:15
  Brooke's going to be very good throughout this whole
• 1:33:17
  competition and it's going to be good for her.
• 1:33:19
  It's going to be good for everybody.
• 1:33:21
  Hitler's going to love it. Oliver reps are going to be so
• 1:33:24
  pretty. Maybe the last snatch might not
• 1:33:26
  be the prettiest, but you know, it's going to be fine.
• 1:33:28
  It's going to be great. OK.
• 1:33:30
  And then Carolyn Stanley, I think she's, I think she's
• 1:33:34
  underrated. There's a lot of events that
• 1:33:36
  Carolyn Stanley's going to be really, really, really good at.
• 1:33:39
  Another person who could win the yoke run.
• 1:33:42
  Carolyn Stanley's worst event again is probably going to be
• 1:33:45
  the two, probably the handstand walk event, but I think she'll
• 1:33:50
  have enough gap that it's not going to matter at that much.
• 1:33:55
  And I don't see her failing in a sandbag clean event.
• 1:33:59
  She's a thick legged girl, she knows how to do it.
• 1:34:01
  Thing. Tyler, I have the same.
• 1:34:04
  What are your top 2 folo? I have Carolyn Stanley at 2nd, I
• 1:34:11
  have Folo at 3rd, I have Brooke Wells at 4th.
• 1:34:17
  And mostly. So I'll either be 100% right
• 1:34:20
  about this or I'll be way wrong. It could be.
• 1:34:24
  You tell me you're Ben Smith at second.
• 1:34:27
  Doesn't make it. Well, John, I'll give you,
• 1:34:31
  you're really good. I was, I was talking to Bill
• 1:34:33
  about this and he was like, John's really good at stats.
• 1:34:35
  He remembers everything just from his head about how the
• 1:34:40
  athletes perform when when the the heat is on.
• 1:34:43
  The one thing that I'm good about judging is the athletes
• 1:34:46
  emotional stability more than you.
• 1:34:50
  I won't, I won't, I won't deny it.
• 1:34:52
  I and you're you're really good at knowing who's trash.
• 1:34:55
  So with with Brooke, one or two things is going to happen.
• 1:34:59
  One, either she is going to like she's going to come shot out of
• 1:35:03
  a cannon to prove Hitler and everybody else wrong that she
• 1:35:05
  deserves to go to the games. And she's it's going to be a
• 1:35:07
  spite thing like watch me go. Or just the the heaviness of it
• 1:35:14
  all is going to weigh heavy here and she's just going to come out
• 1:35:17
  flat. Which is why I give her 4th.
• 1:35:19
  So that means you have Kyra first.
• 1:35:22
  Kyra Milligan at first place. So you don't think Kyra's going
• 1:35:25
  to get hurt on the Yoke Run event at?
• 1:35:27
  All. I think she'll be fine.
• 1:35:28
  I think she'll be fine. I think the.
• 1:35:30
  What? What in history has told you
• 1:35:33
  that she would be fine? Think she's going to win three
• 1:35:36
  other events and she's going to what?
• 1:35:38
  Events Is she going to win? I'm not going to tell you that I
• 1:35:40
  can't. This is insider information,
• 1:35:42
  John. Is it from Kiefer?
• 1:35:44
  Because then it's biased. No, it is not from Kiefer.
• 1:35:49
  Is it from? Is it from Taylor?
• 1:35:50
  Because then it's wrong, no? No, I having done the run event
• 1:35:58
  it is. Oh, you know the run event has
• 1:36:00
  made you think. Yeah, dude, I'm not a good
• 1:36:04
  runner and it the run is so short and I think her under the
• 1:36:10
  yoke will make up a lot of difference there.
• 1:36:12
  I know it's short and I know it's not a place that you can
• 1:36:14
  make up a lot of time, but where you can make up the time is in
• 1:36:17
  the transitions and your aggression into getting the yoke
• 1:36:19
  off the ground. I think mostly that's where the
• 1:36:23
  whole workout is made. Yeah, like your pace matters,
• 1:36:26
  but I don't think she's going to fall back that far.
• 1:36:29
  So I think she mitigates on that.
• 1:36:30
  And then she wins three other events and I think.
• 1:36:32
  She's what is your what is your over under on the on the yoke
• 1:36:34
  repeater. For her.
• 1:36:38
  That's a great prop bet. What do you should put it in the
• 1:36:40
  props? That's a mean prop.
• 1:36:43
  We try to stay away from mean props.
• 1:36:45
  Why you might say she's top 10. Yeah, I think you're the most
• 1:36:48
  positive out of all of us on this event for her. 18th It's
• 1:36:55
  too low or too high. I think it's beautiful.
• 1:36:58
  I'll take the worse is whatever, whichever way you want to call
• 1:37:02
  that. The under or yeah.
• 1:37:05
  Yeah, I don't know if it is the under, just kind of depends.
• 1:37:08
  It's the down I'm. Going to take the worst.
• 1:37:10
  I would have to like really evaluate the field. 18th is a
• 1:37:13
  really good prop. What up Bryson?
• 1:37:16
  What up Taylor? All right.
• 1:37:20
  The only one in the top ten I don't you guys don't have or
• 1:37:23
  John you don't have is Reese with Littlewood again another.
• 1:37:26
  She's an up and coming teen athlete and I this is.
• 1:37:28
  A professional show. I've said this about every teen
• 1:37:33
  that is coming up in the ranks and doing the big girl
• 1:37:36
  competitions or the big guy big boy competitions.
• 1:37:40
  I will not put you somewhere until I until I see it and I
• 1:37:45
  don't care about online at all. So until I actually see it in a
• 1:37:50
  competition, I'm not going to put you that high, right, Ty
• 1:37:55
  just beat the brakes off of a whole bunch of people that are
• 1:37:57
  in this competition in the world fitness project.
• 1:38:00
  I know, I know, I know, I know the weights are light and I and
• 1:38:03
  you're absolutely right, heavier weights Jack does better 100%.
• 1:38:07
  You're right. He just won Wadapalooza RX,
• 1:38:10
  which is always the RX division, which it but RX division
• 1:38:14
  Wadapalooza has always been like a stepping stone.
• 1:38:16
  So you're going to make the games if it like either that
• 1:38:19
  year or the next year. It's happened three different
• 1:38:21
  times. Fair.
• 1:38:24
  I mean it shows. Potential.
• 1:38:25
  I just think when the weight gets heavier, at least for Ty,
• 1:38:28
  he's going to get. You're not wrong.
• 1:38:30
  We used to say the same about James.
• 1:38:33
  Fair enough, Lee 999 super sticker really appreciate the
• 1:38:37
  support that brings us. So you want to hear the heat one
• 1:38:43
  shot caller pics TuneIn on Friday morning to the Sivan

• 1:38:58
  the blind rankings. Move this thing along sitting
• 1:39:01
  there. And no one should be asking.
• 1:39:04
  You, man. Tell them to move, Tyler.
• 1:39:06
  Yeah, tell them to get out of here.
• 1:39:07
  Tell them there it's really bad. Who is who is it?
• 1:39:10
  Who is talking? It's Wilson, so he gets a pass.
• 1:39:13
  Tell Wilson that I said the move I.
• 1:39:16
  Said the move Wilson. John, John politely asked you to
• 1:39:20
  move and shut up. John.
• 1:39:25
  He, he said you're talking too loud.
• 1:39:26
  Don't give him any. He told you to go to hell.
• 1:39:30
  He, he actually said that. Go to hell.
• 1:39:34
  It's aggressive, Wilson. I didn't know Wilson could get
• 1:39:36
  that. Exactly.
• 1:39:37
  Wilson didn't say that I'm translating.
• 1:39:39
  He just went. Tyler put you on the spot.
• 1:39:43
  Do you know what time we kick off on Friday?
• 1:39:48
  Hey, but also tell Wilson I appreciate everything that he
• 1:39:50
  does. One minute, Sarah, I'll tell you
• 1:39:54
  all. Right, blind rankings.

  Gonna be good. It'll be good.

  rankings. Here we go.
• 1:40:40
  John, you should. You should nail this because you
• 1:40:42
  were there. OK, we have to be at the venue
• 1:40:44
  at 9 John. Gotcha, gotcha.
• 1:40:47
  Here we go, first one John and the thruster ladder.
• 1:40:56
  I don't know man, it was so easy.
• 1:40:59
  Spin, I think you have to play for me.
• 1:41:01
  Yeah, why Tyler didn't watch. Because I only watched.
• 1:41:05
  Some of it. You're fine.
• 1:41:07
  I know where they come out so I can't really rank them.
• 1:41:10
  It's not. Fair.
• 1:41:10
  I don't. It just depends.
• 1:41:12
  Like are you putting negative things out there like me not
• 1:41:14
  getting to do the heavy cleans at the end?
• 1:41:18
  John, It's John's grid. OK, well I mean this is like, I
• 1:41:22
  mean I did it fast, but like it's they weren't like super
• 1:41:27
  heavy. I'd say 3. 3 Tyler, did you
• 1:41:32
  watch John do his thrusters? I didn't see that so So what
• 1:41:35
  happened on the thruster spin? I just did them all real.
• 1:41:38
  He literally just went through them very easily.
• 1:41:40
  Not a struggle. Few people on the team did
• 1:41:43
  struggle. It wasn't like this big moment,
• 1:41:46
  though. I don't really think I had a big
• 1:41:48
  moment. I think Matt's handstand walk is
• 1:41:50
  the biggest moment, even though it's my stuff.
• 1:41:53
  This is John's grid though, so. Me watching Matt do the
• 1:41:57
  handstand walk. That's not it, all right.
• 1:42:00
  Next up, John's interview. That might be 1.
• 1:42:05
  I mean, everybody liked it. I was real out of breath.
• 1:42:08
  They wanted me to go right after I just did.
• 1:42:10
  I just spritzed real hard. I I like.
• 1:42:14
  Tacos alone it's. Number one, we got a lot of.
• 1:42:16
  Tacos taking over the chat taking over when we take over
• 1:42:19
  the chat, it's always fun. I actually ask yeah and and
• 1:42:23
  thank you to you guys. You guys make this fun, but I
• 1:42:26
  want to talk to the team and I was like, guys, we should come
• 1:42:30
  up with a word to say all right, like like we should come over
• 1:42:33
  with a phrase that we like have the chat say right where they.
• 1:42:37
  Just lost. Well, I don't think people
• 1:42:39
  really knew what I was talking about at first, but like like
• 1:42:42
  then, then they then they started going, they started
• 1:42:45
  coming up with some stuff, a lot of stuff I didn't understand the
• 1:42:48
  meaning of, but but then there was a couple, there's a couple
• 1:42:51
  like like bend overs, you know what I mean?
• 1:42:53
  Stuff like that. But we're going to come up with
• 1:42:56
  some stuff. OK, OK.
• 1:42:58
  Probably not as good as tacos. Like like tacos was pretty good
• 1:43:01
  tacos Taco emoji was everywhere. Maybe like a dildo or something
• 1:43:06
  like that, Like you mix our name up with something.
• 1:43:08
  Weird. That's that's John I I do want
• 1:43:12
  to pause on the tacos. We're going to have to eat some
• 1:43:15
  Taco Bell this weekend. I'm going to have to show you
• 1:43:17
  how to do this properly. And you want to race.
• 1:43:20
  It's like 1. It's two bites, Max John.
• 1:43:24
  It's hard to chew when you do that, man.
• 1:43:25
  The fastest way is just little by little.
• 1:43:28
  We can race, man. We'll see you wins.
• 1:43:30
  Listen, I'm on my grid. Speed everything.
• 1:43:32
  You're going to lose, John. OK, we'll film it.
• 1:43:35
  All right. You want to do 4 tacos?
• 1:43:37
  First one done. John, I don't think you
• 1:43:39
  understand. I am 365 lbs at heart.
• 1:43:44
  That's fine, man. There we go.
• 1:43:46
  We're going to raise some tacos. All right, Next up.
• 1:43:49
  I'm actually so hyped to race you in eating tacos.
• 1:43:56
  Spins like I would like to do the show.
• 1:43:58
  Please stop talking about tacos. I do want to move on but I do
• 1:44:02
  have a story I have to tell. There was a Co worker of mine
• 1:44:05
  back in the day and he quickly realized that he was really good
• 1:44:10
  at competitive eating and he was a he was a small guy.
• 1:44:15
  He ended up going to a strip club and eating.
• 1:44:17
  It was hard shell tacos, as many as hard shell tacos as you could
• 1:44:21
  eat at a strip club. And he ended up winning and he
• 1:44:24
  started just going to the local circuit eating any type of
• 1:44:30
  eating competition. It was winning like gift cards
• 1:44:33
  to everything $500. Like he was kind of a, you know,
• 1:44:38
  kind of the talk of the town when it came to the eating
• 1:44:40
  contest. And then he stopped doing it
• 1:44:43
  because he was, he was actually massively overweight when he was
• 1:44:47
  little and young and like young adult.
• 1:44:49
  And then he lost a lot of weight after college.
• 1:44:51
  He's like, I can't keep doing this.
• 1:44:52
  I'm just going to get it all back.
• 1:44:54
  But yeah, there's my Side Story. All right, Next up, the pistol.
• 1:45:01
  No Rep for John. I did get a no Rep and it was
• 1:45:04
  correctly called. I would say good on her.
• 1:45:08
  I kind of tripped going out there and then it affected the
• 1:45:11
  pistol step. I also am dealing with the
• 1:45:13
  little knee thing, so like that's.
• 1:45:15
  We saw that it was only you took it off after that.
• 1:45:17
  Neither here nor there. That's the only thing that hurt.
• 1:45:20
  I would say this is a 5. I think everything was a pretty
• 1:45:23
  perfect run other than that. I would agree.
• 1:45:26
  For me, I saw that and it was like I it was funny how diligent
• 1:45:30
  you were being about your pistols, but I also knew about
• 1:45:31
  your knee injury, so I was like, well.
• 1:45:33
  It's not like I, I, I was doing it with like a reckless
• 1:45:35
  abandoned and I and I was doing it on both legs and it's just,
• 1:45:39
  it's unfortunate that it can be like, but it's fine.
• 1:45:42
  I thought I adjusted quickly, lasted like half a second.
• 1:45:45
  I don't think that's why we lost.
• 1:45:49
  I was making up ground the kettle bells overhead, so I was
• 1:45:51
  making up for it a little bit, but OK next.
• 1:45:54
  Next up, sitting on the box between every race.
• 1:46:00
  Did I sit on the box between every race?
• 1:46:02
  I saw you do that. Over and over again.
• 1:46:06
  We're not. I'm not doing.
• 1:46:08
  Nothing. It was just very on I'm.
• 1:46:09
  Not allowed to sit down. I'm not doing nothing.
• 1:46:12
  I'm tired guys. I would give it a four.
• 1:46:16
  It was you go out there and Sprint and then that's not do
• 1:46:19
  nothing. It just, it just is fitting
• 1:46:21
  after watching your semi final performances.
• 1:46:25
  You know, we talked about it like is John going to sit in
• 1:46:28
  between the races? And you sure did.
• 1:46:30
  I'm going to do 10 snatches as fast as I can and sit down in
• 1:46:33
  the weights in the middle of the floor.
• 1:46:34
  I thought there weren't supposed to be boxes out there too.
• 1:46:37
  And then I'll be damned if John wasn't sitting on a box.
• 1:46:40
  I actually requested that they bring some boxes.
• 1:46:44
  Out. It was your.
• 1:46:44
  It was your weird request for. I'm just.
• 1:46:46
  Kidding, I'm just. Kidding.
• 1:46:47
  For talent, Yeah. All right #2 the last one, the
• 1:46:53
  final race. No go.
• 1:46:54
  Oh man, we messed this up big. What happened?
• 1:46:59
  Have you not seen this Tyler? No, the the last one, remember
• 1:47:02
  that's where everybody goes and then Matt rotate could not do
• 1:47:07
  the 5th ring, whatever it was. And so basically the team just
• 1:47:12
  got stuck midway through the race and in the interview John
• 1:47:16
  was like just wait till you see my 3 cleans, then you'll know.
• 1:47:20
  Well, they were like, they were like, it's kind of a rude
• 1:47:22
  question, honestly, because they were like, hey, why does every
• 1:47:25
  why is everybody hype on you? Why didn't Tyler didn't care?
• 1:47:27
  He's done. Yeah.
• 1:47:31
  Dang, that's what it felt like. Yeah, just don't really care.
• 1:47:34
  Just. Something like that.
• 1:47:35
  And then and I was like, This is why, This is why people are
• 1:47:38
  hyped. And and then, Yep.
• 1:47:41
  There it went, Grant. And I definitely felt very just,
• 1:47:46
  it was just rough. I don't people, I'm super.
• 1:47:48
  Excited for it, even if you guys lost just to watch you finish
• 1:47:52
  the three cleans and be like, all right, that was fun to
• 1:47:54
  watch. Dude and everybody else was
• 1:47:56
  struggling. I was surprised the other
• 1:47:57
  strength guys like weren't doing it easily and and they weren't,
• 1:48:03
  but I know a lot of people wanted me to be mad at Matt.
• 1:48:07
  And I mean, if he can't do it, he can't do it.
• 1:48:10
  It's not like. AI was mad at Matt.
• 1:48:11
  I was mad that nobody else could go out there and do it once a.
• 1:48:14
  Muscle failure. Did you see the type of stuff
• 1:48:16
  he's doing? It's a hard thing to do.
• 1:48:19
  I definitely just need one more person.
• 1:48:20
  You need to find one more gymnastic person.
• 1:48:23
  Why don't you get that, Shawn Johnson that was going to buy
• 1:48:26
  CrossFit to go do it? Hey, this is the hard judge I
• 1:48:28
  was talking to you about. We, we, we had that guy.
• 1:48:32
  Dude, the dude with crazy hair? Yeah, dude.
• 1:48:35
  He's, he's dumb. He's brick shit house dude.
• 1:48:38
  Dude, I love him though, but he's he's intense.
• 1:48:41
  I actually like that he's out there.
• 1:48:42
  What if you get that LSU gymnast come out and do some of that
• 1:48:45
  ringed stuff? Yeah, LSU.
• 1:48:48
  What's her name? The Asian one.
• 1:48:52
  Oh, whatever that blonde is that stayed in the baseball player
• 1:48:55
  Shawn Johnson. No, the LSU gym does.
• 1:48:58
  I don't even know. Somebody in the comments can.
• 1:49:00
  Tell why don't you reach out to her and tell her that we would
• 1:49:02
  like to have her on the team. Yeah, yeah.
• 1:49:04
  Something like that. Livy.
• 1:49:05
  I don't know. Livy.
• 1:49:08
  Yeah, get her out there. Think she'd do it?
• 1:49:12
  I don't know, somebody reach out to her do.
• 1:49:16
  You think grids? Do you think grids below that?
• 1:49:17
  I, I, I think she would probably, you know, you have to
• 1:49:21
  like spend some money to go out there and do it and stuff.
• 1:49:23
  I don't know if. She, I bet she gets sponsors.
• 1:49:25
  It'd be fine. All right, last up and then
• 1:49:29
  we're going to go get ready to go to Knoxville.
• 1:49:32
  How do we do? I was curious to know after 21
• 1:49:35
  people have qualified for 21 men, 21 women have qualified for
• 1:49:38
  the Games. How well have we done from our
• 1:49:40
  predictions? Any guesses Tyler, on the men?
• 1:49:44
  How many do we get right out of the 21 so far, 7 Out of the 21
• 1:49:53
  men, John, that have qualified, how many have we predicted?
• 1:50:03
  21. 21 out of 21? Yeah, that's not even close
• 1:50:08
  either. Jesus out of 21, correct.
• 1:50:12
  Only two rookies have qualified so far, Henrique Moreira and
• 1:50:19
  Colin Bosar. Are the two man?
• 1:50:24
  Brawny really screwed us. Braun, Caitlin.
• 1:50:27
  Clemens, I don't think Braun screwed us.
• 1:50:29
  I think the programming screwed us of whatever event he went to.
• 1:50:34
  We also obviously with your syndicate, you have the list on
• 1:50:37
  the right. Those are guys that we had
• 1:50:39
  picked to go to the games. Is there anybody outside of
• 1:50:43
  Rosamore Ty that you would say has a good chance of making it
• 1:50:48
  I. Think Bailey.
• 1:50:49
  Bailey, Peter. Bruno is competing.
• 1:50:53
  Is he from hoodie and renegade? Bruno, I don't think so.
• 1:50:58
  I think he's hurt bad. I thought he lived in UAE.
• 1:51:00
  OK, San Juan is surprising. Jack.
• 1:51:07
  BKG is a big name, but I mean, he's been.
• 1:51:10
  I don't think he's going to do it.
• 1:51:11
  Toby Bucklin should come out of Rebel Renegade Games.
• 1:51:15
  Yeah, Fiona or Audio or anybody have a shot at the last chance.
• 1:51:20
  Do they do the last chance? No chance.
• 1:51:23
  Last chance is there's only one guy, right?
• 1:51:28
  Yes. I don't, I don't know.
• 1:51:30
  Last chance is so it's so like, I don't know.
• 1:51:33
  It's just I don't know what to think about.
• 1:51:35
  Last chance I'm not going to think about until it happens.
• 1:51:37
  That's fair. We won't be able to, we won't be
• 1:51:39
  able to predict who comes out of last chance.
• 1:51:40
  I think it's going to be too hard, OK.
• 1:51:44
  I'll probably say Yonah Koski. I'd pick Ben Smith.
• 1:51:48
  Yes. I'd pick Ben Smith.
• 1:51:50
  All right, the women's side, we've gotten 13 out of 21
• 1:51:55
  correct. You didn't let me guess.
• 1:51:57
  Because you were so bad the first.
• 1:51:58
  Oh, hey. Miriam made it.
• 1:52:01
  So did Amy Kringle. We didn't pick predict them to
• 1:52:04
  make them. Oh, oh, oh, I thought I
• 1:52:08
  predicted Miriam to make. Them that was not our combined
• 1:52:10
  list. They did not qualify.
• 1:52:14
  I want to we could ask JRI. John coming out of your own.
• 1:52:18
  Jr. It's our show that we.
• 1:52:20
  Did I told Jr. that Mir him is going to make the games an
• 1:52:23
  online game? You might have you.
• 1:52:25
  Changed your mind? But we did not agree on it.
• 1:52:29
  We missed everybody in South America.
• 1:52:30
  We did not get Maria or Louisa. Monica Greer made it.
• 1:52:34
  Nobody. You're telling me I didn't
• 1:52:36
  predict Syria? I'm almost positive I said
• 1:52:39
  Syria. Mayhaw was going to make the
• 1:52:41
  games beginning of the year. John No, Amy Kringle, Jennifer
• 1:52:47
  Muir. So we've got all the ones that
• 1:52:49
  we thought 6 rookies on the women's side, only two on the
• 1:52:52
  men, so quite a bit different story on the women's side.
• 1:52:56
  Sarah Sigmund's daughter is out there at Africa for the Rebel
• 1:52:59
  Renegade Games doing all nine competitions.
• 1:53:03
  You got Alex and Emily out there at Norcal, Tia Toomey still out
• 1:53:08
  there. Emily Deroy possibly both in the
• 1:53:11
  running for that out there. Let's see Brooke.
• 1:53:16
  Sidney Trista Hattie has the shoulder injury, so we don't
• 1:53:20
  know about her at Norcal TBD. Paige Simmons, I don't even know
• 1:53:23
  what she's doing so. Chilling.
• 1:53:28
  Guys, the 1st through 4th place in the games last year have not
• 1:53:34
  qualified for the games. On the inside.
• 1:53:37
  How crazy is that? That is nuts.
• 1:53:40
  I don't think 4th place will. I can't believe we agreed to
• 1:53:44
  Sarah. No, we didn't.
• 1:53:48
  We predicted the Oh no, Sarah's competing in Africa.
• 1:53:52
  Yeah, that's the only way. We thought she was going to.
• 1:53:54
  She was supposed to compete at Wadland.
• 1:53:57
  She could have qualified at Wadland.
• 1:53:58
  That's why we that makes more sense.
• 1:54:00
  Yeah. And I think she would have had a
• 1:54:02
  good shot at it. We had Michelle in Africa.
• 1:54:06
  Now I think it's more Sarah's to win so.
• 1:54:10
  The names. The names it's crazy.
• 1:54:13
  It's crazy, yo, the women's field is wild right now.
• 1:54:17
  That's that's Campbell might win the CrossFit Games, nobody else.
• 1:54:20
  It's. Going to start out well with her
• 1:54:24
  for the first event. So yeah, there you go.
• 1:54:28
  We're we're keeping track of how well we did.
• 1:54:30
  I think we're we're doing OK, not bad.
• 1:54:33
  That's really not bad. 13 out of 21 and 15 out of 21.
• 1:54:37
  Yeah, for a season that you don't know how it's all going to
• 1:54:40
  shake out, who's going to compete where things.
• 1:54:42
  Are and you have some interference from WFP?
• 1:54:44
  Yeah. I mean, our predictions were
• 1:54:45
  that Danielle was going to be at Mayhem.
• 1:54:49
  Yeah, that didn't happen. We thought that Emily was going
• 1:54:51
  to be at TFX. That didn't happen.
• 1:54:54
  Like all those things have like. I don't think Emily would have
• 1:54:57
  gone from TFX even if she did win go, not with those events.
• 1:55:04
  She's way fitter than Sydney though.
• 1:55:06
  Dude, I don't think she's making the last clean.
• 1:55:08
  I think she fails the last clean a million times.
• 1:55:10
  Like Hannah? Yeah, maybe a lot of people.
• 1:55:14
  Failed the last clean. She's not freaking strong.
• 1:55:17
  And then they had Isabelle on top of it, which is already a
• 1:55:19
  bottom of the pack finish. We know it's a bottom of the
• 1:55:21
  pack finish. No, she is much fitter.
• 1:55:24
  The programming dude. It doesn't matter if the
• 1:55:26
  programming is what it was. Clock Where did Mirham qualify?
• 1:55:31
  Last I saw she crashed out at the French Throwdown hard.
• 1:55:34
  She. Didn't crash.
• 1:55:36
  She cramped. Cramped.
• 1:55:38
  It was a cramp and then she came back and qualified in the in
• 1:55:41
  affiliate semifinal. Hope we don't see another cramp
• 1:55:45
  this weekend. Pedro will be.
• 1:55:48
  Pedro will be on it. If there is.
• 1:55:50
  All right, guys, that is it. I am making my way to Syndicate
• 1:55:55
  Crown in Knoxville tomorrow, John.
• 1:55:58
  We'll see you there. If you are in Knoxville, come
• 1:56:01
  say hi. We'll be on the street on the
• 1:56:03
  broadcast all weekend long. And so check out the Savant
• 1:56:09
  podcast. They're going to be doing a show
• 1:56:10
  right after this. And then we'll catch you there
• 1:56:13
  Friday, Saturday, Sunday. And Tyler?
• 1:56:17
  Download the Heat One app, win games tickets 4.
• 1:56:21
  If you win you get 4 games tickets.
• 1:56:23
  Not even if you just win, other people will also win.
• 1:56:26
  Go, go, go. That's right, and this is
• 1:56:28
  probably the biggest news of all.
• 1:56:31
  I will be bringing some JY barbell shirts.
• 1:56:34
  I apologize to absolutely nobody.
