  Welcome to the spin. April 2nd we have a special
• 0:37
  guest, Miss Visa Goffy. Live.
• 0:41
  From. What's up you guys?
• 0:43
  Live from Cookeville. Live from Cookeville.
• 0:46
  Did you know she's going to the Mayhem class?
• 0:50
  Tyler just found that out. Wow.
• 0:53
  Yeah, Tyler didn't know that she was going.
• 0:57
  Tyler just thought I was just doing the open and I was going
• 0:58
  to chill after that. One, I thought she was just
• 1:00
  being cool and coming on the show.
• 1:01
  No. She just goes up the head.
• 1:03
  She's just going to watch mayhem.
• 1:05
  I'm just going to watch Cheer. Yeah.
• 1:09
  How's it going? How's it, how's it going so far?
• 1:11
  You've been busy. I've been busy.
• 1:14
  I feel like the last month it's just been like a qualifier
• 1:17
  season, but right, all the things it was AI just got done
• 1:22
  finishing the WFP qualifier and then once we were done, I think
• 1:26
  it was like 2 weeks and now we're here so.
• 1:30
  Yeah, I got done with the qualifier too.
• 1:31
  I didn't do as well as you did, but.
• 1:34
  You make those Challenger rounds.
• 1:36
  No, I didn't do so hot, but it's OK.
• 1:38
  It's. OK, no, but no.
• 1:40
  We're feeling good. I'm excited.
• 1:41
  I feel I was telling a lot of my friends asking Are you ready?
• 1:46
  Do you feel good? I feel the most ready just
• 1:48
  because I think it's just a good feeling knowing that this isn't
• 1:51
  the only stage that you get a chance to compete for a bid and
• 1:55
  to just compete live. And I think that takes a lot of
• 1:59
  pressure off. So I'm just here to rock'n'roll.
• 2:02
  And the workouts so far, I think are voting well for you.
• 2:06
  They've been, they've been. I'm definitely, I said, I said
• 2:12
  there's no swimming, so that's good.
• 2:15
  Yeah, you might be all right for a couple years on that.
• 2:17
  I need to get back to that. No, but I mean, anything Mayhem
• 2:22
  is like all I've known, to be honest, like before joining
• 2:25
  Brute because I trained with Scott for so many years.
• 2:28
  So I mean, anything that's OG CrossFit, that's just like in my
• 2:32
  blood at this point. So I'm excited.
• 2:34
  So you were around during the 2019 season, right?
• 2:38
  Yeah, that was my, that was my rookie year at the games.
• 2:40
  And that was like. That.
• 2:41
  I like trained what Scott was training Scott was I think at
• 2:46
  Scott was programming for us and him at the time and we would
• 2:49
  just like it was truly like just trained all day and like get
• 2:54
  wrecked every day and it. Was you were with Scott?
• 3:00
  Well, you forgot she was even competing this year.
• 3:02
  Pilot I just it feels like know a lot about.
• 3:06
  It's like 10 years ago she was with Scott though.
• 3:08
  Like it feels so long ago, and it wasn't really that long ago.
• 3:11
  What is it, six years now? I know when I talk about it,
• 3:14
  every time I talk about it, I'm like every year I add another
• 3:17
  year and now it's getting close to 10.
• 3:21
  Years, yeah. And the did you, you qualify
• 3:25
  through the open though, right? That year was the five week.
• 3:28
  That was like the last year of the five week open and I
• 3:31
  qualified through that. It was like 24th.
• 3:33
  I got 24th on that. Yeah, but then you also did you,
• 3:36
  How many sanctions did you end up doing?
• 3:39
  So many like actually, well throughout those years I did a
• 3:42
  lot, but that same year you mean?
• 3:44
  Yeah. I ended up doing two.
• 3:47
  It was like a big competing year of making it as a rookie and
• 3:50
  then within a couple months I was competing at Italian
• 3:54
  Showdown. You remember when that there was
• 3:56
  a sanction of there and Scott and I like got to do that
• 4:00
  together. And then that was the first year
• 4:01
  Rogue Invitational came out and I got to do Rogue.
• 4:03
  So I did, or I did the Italian Showdown, Rogue and then the
• 4:07
  games like all within the same year.
• 4:11
  Yeah. So when you heard the sanctional
• 4:13
  in person qualifying event structure, you've kind of gone
• 4:17
  through it. Obviously it's a little bit
• 4:18
  different than it was 5-6 years ago, but would you like the idea
• 4:23
  of different programming going different places, maybe a little
• 4:28
  bit more chaotic season than what we've had in the past?
• 4:32
  Yeah, like when they first came out with the semifinals.
• 4:36
  Where I think it was like you could only choose one to go.
• 4:40
  Like you could only pick one to. Yeah, 21 you had to pick, right?
• 4:44
  21, you had to pick. It was one of those.
• 4:46
  And then everyone was tested differently.
• 4:49
  I didn't like that because certain competitions were
• 4:53
  heavier on endurance and gymnastics capacity.
• 4:57
  Others were more strength based. And then it's like, well, if I
• 4:59
  would have gone here, I would have done better.
• 5:01
  And if I would have been in this field, I would have done better
• 5:04
  considering the, you know, the girls on the roster, like you
• 5:07
  always like, we're fighting that.
• 5:09
  And so then there's another, you know, the following year.
• 5:11
  I think everyone had to have the same events.
• 5:13
  They're like the same similar structure.
• 5:16
  And I like that. It's like everyone that's making
• 5:18
  it to the games is getting tested the same.
• 5:20
  No one's getting a different test.
• 5:22
  And now this year is like, different, like, same, but
• 5:25
  different. Now it's like, OK, there's
• 5:26
  multiple opportunities, but you don't get to go to every single
• 5:29
  one. You got to you have to be in a
• 5:31
  specific region or you have to be like, I can't go to Latin
• 5:36
  America and compete. Right.
• 5:38
  So yeah, but I do like, I think I can't.
• 5:41
  I can't even keep up with all the different at this point.
• 5:43
  I'm just like, what do I do need to do to get there?
• 5:46
  And I'm just going to get there. Yeah, they're different
• 5:48
  workouts, but I think Mayhem's programming at least half of
• 5:51
  them. Yeah, some.
• 5:53
  Capacity. And I'm pretty sure Rich said
• 5:55
  that there would be two workouts that were a staple and all the
• 6:00
  Mayhem ones that they're programming to.
• 6:02
  Yeah. And I'm, I'm guessing it'll be,
• 6:05
  it'll be Isabel and then probably the finale, whatever
• 6:10
  that is. I guess we're not going to know
• 6:12
  anything like more after like Thursday.
• 6:16
  I guess. We get yeah, we get one more.
• 6:18
  Yeah, we'll see. We don't.
• 6:19
  We don't know, but you know. Well, we got we got a little bit
• 6:22
  of a hint if you guys didn't see I.
• 6:25
  Know what? Is that the oh the £100 bill?
• 6:28
  A. £100 dumbbell Rich Frodian said E4 presented by Rogue
• 6:33
  Fitness Oh, so it's. The squat snatch we're just
• 6:38
  snatching again. Yeah, that is.
• 6:43
  Yeah, it was the Mayhem workout with a hundred a couple days
• 6:46
  ago, and I didn't do it because I was like, there's no freaking
• 6:48
  way I can do that. It was with snatches.
• 6:50
  Did you? Circle I can't even see them I I
• 6:53
  did not circle that one. So the 100 LB dumbbell is this
• 6:57
  one here. 100 foot handstand walk 18 dumbbell squat snatch at
• 7:04
  170 another handstand walk 14 at 1:10 or 75 handstand walk
• 7:11
  1/20/80. Is that the only dumbbell with
• 7:14
  100 lbs on there? I.
• 7:17
  I believe so. I think there's one more, but
• 7:19
  it's it's clearly not it because it's where was it?
• 7:24
  But. Also it has 5 squats.
• 7:26
  Snatcher 225, this one. Yeah, Also, though, one of these
• 7:30
  workouts is a little bit different because Dre, they said
• 7:35
  Dre didn't know what the workout was and two workouts got
• 7:38
  combined together. So like it is the workout, but
• 7:41
  it's it's a little different than what it's than what is
• 7:45
  written. OK, what do you guys think the
• 7:48
  finale's going to be? I think we all know Fee.
• 7:51
  What do you mean I don't? We're just going to leave it at
• 7:54
  that. I don't, do you?
• 7:55
  Think it's going to be another 2 events.
• 7:57
  No, the back-to-back. Yeah.
• 7:59
  I think it'll be the Are we allowed to say spin?
• 8:03
  We don't know anything. We don't know.
• 8:05
  I mean, you could look at. OK, right, OK.
• 8:07
  Yeah, we don't know. It's I think it's going to be
• 8:10
  the 30303030 Cal bike, 30 bar muscle up, 30 Cal bike man.
• 8:17
  I don't. We don't know anything.
• 8:19
  No, that's not. That's not showy enough.
• 8:23
  Like the storytelling? On the oh dude, I think that's
• 8:26
  AI. Think that's an amazing finale.
• 8:28
  Are you kidding me? Do you want to go with broken on
• 8:30
  the bar muscle UPS? Is it worth it to go on broken
• 8:32
  on the bar muscle UPS And then like, let me Riddle you this.
• 8:35
  What if Colton, what if Colton and Austin get off on the ring
• 8:38
  muscle UPS for or bar muscle UPS first?
• 8:41
  They get on the bike 10 seconds before James. 10 seconds before
• 8:47
  James. Yeah, Colton.
• 8:49
  Yeah, Who wins that? Who wins that?
• 8:51
  I'm sorry. No, no.
• 8:54
  Do the ring muscle. Listen, I know James Time.
• 8:57
  I know James. No, no, I'm saying they get to
• 9:00
  the second bike. Before Jake, I thought you meant
• 9:02
  the first bike. No, no, must be.
• 9:05
  Come on. I mean, I'm sorry I missed.
• 9:07
  That. Yeah, okay.
• 9:09
  And 10 seconds before James and then you got James getting on
• 9:13
  that bike like a hurricane and just going ham.
• 9:17
  You're telling me that's not going to be an exciting finale
• 9:20
  if that's it? If anything, I mean it is going
• 9:23
  to be an exciting finale. If that is it, I think it's
• 9:25
  going to be more exciting for the guys because the guys could
• 9:27
  hammer a 30 Cal echo and less than 45 seconds.
• 9:31
  So that's going to be exciting for girls.
• 9:33
  You can. It's more of a bar muscle up
• 9:34
  workout for girls 100%. But I think it's I think it will
• 9:39
  make for a good finale. If that's it, Well, we don't
• 9:42
  know anything. Yeah, we're just.
• 9:45
  We're just guessing. We were predicting some of that
• 9:47
  for. It was it was, it was on their
• 9:49
  board twice and it fits the mold of what they haven't tested.
• 9:53
  And that's why, that's why we, I think that.
• 9:56
  What do you? Guys, think about.
• 9:58
  How many people are going to get wrecked on day one after all the
• 10:00
  squatting? Well, it's only, I think it's
• 10:03
  only, is it only going to be two?
• 10:04
  Do we know that the first 3 events are on day?
• 10:06
  I think they're going to have the thrusters and legless as the
• 10:09
  first event of day two, I thought.
• 10:11
  They oh, so they're only going to go.
• 10:13
  To two. I thought it was just running
• 10:14
  and then Isabel the run and then Isabel and then that's day one
• 10:19
  and then three events day 2. I don't think we know.
• 10:22
  OK, but event 3 not is not necessarily also on day one?
• 10:30
  It sounds like events 345 whatever are not in order.
• 10:36
  So we could go in, I guess we will find out on what, what's
• 10:39
  our athlete briefing Saturday or Friday?
• 10:41
  Yeah, I mean, five hours. I've heard they're going to try
• 10:45
  to keep it in a tight time window.
• 10:46
  I can't. See them doing 2 events on
• 10:48
  Saturday and four Friday. Or do you know for sure there's
• 10:52
  6? I assumed it was three and
• 10:56
  three. That was just through word of
• 10:59
  mouth. But did Hopper tell you no?
• 11:04
  Why was he saying we don't? Know we don't.
• 11:08
  Know, yeah, we don't know if it's 5 or 6 like it's not a for
• 11:11
  sure thing. My good feeling says it's got to
• 11:14
  be at least 6. I I would think that too, but J
• 11:17
  Rs been making a strong case that it's 5.
• 11:20
  Interesting. OK.
• 11:21
  I thought, really? Today I should have asked.
• 11:23
  I don't like the five. I feel like if there's five like
• 11:27
  one workout like a heavy. One workout has to have.
• 11:30
  It it throws you off right? Like if you're not top 10 on
• 11:35
  everyone at 5 workouts. I mean, you weren't going to
• 11:38
  make top 2 if you're out doing that anyway man.
• 11:40
  Yeah. I think with.
• 11:41
  Six, you still have an opportunity if you're like 1213
• 11:45
  in that. Have you guys like what do you
• 11:46
  have to to get top 2? What's the least place like you
• 11:51
  have to be within the top three all weekend with only. 2 So
• 11:55
  James is the best case for this. He was 13th in the squat clean
• 11:58
  clean at Waterpalooza, but he was first, first, second,
• 12:03
  second, second on all of the remaining workouts.
• 12:07
  So, and I think that's like the best case, you could have the
• 12:12
  furthest down you could finish and still make it because he was
• 12:15
  literally top two in every single other workout and.
• 12:18
  That's in the bend. Though, and that was with a
• 12:20
  field of 40. Right.
• 12:21
  But I'm just thinking right. In a field of 40, I don't think
• 12:25
  it matters whenever you're, I guess.
• 12:27
  I guess it does matter a lot. Yeah.
• 12:28
  So field of 20 you cut it in half 8th, 7th.
• 12:34
  See. This is where I wish they used
• 12:36
  the Z score or the what do we? Use the score.
• 12:39
  Yeah, he. Scored the competition.
• 12:41
  He scores. He scores.
• 12:43
  Whatever that. He needs hey, he didn't even
• 12:46
  know you were competing, B Look, look how hard Tyler just got.
• 12:49
  Stop doing this to this man. I love B, she needs to be on
• 12:55
  every show does. That make a comment like that
• 12:59
  See I speak with it. Yeah, I I do like the P score
• 13:04
  from that standpoint because it does reward the great
• 13:08
  performance. Or if you're close, because I
• 13:09
  think there's gonna be some really close races.
• 13:12
  In this, absolutely, I think the top girls like just like a lot
• 13:16
  of events. So like I think the top five,
• 13:19
  six girls that we consider top six, like I think those girls
• 13:23
  will also continue to stay top through the entire events.
• 13:27
  Like there's not going to be drastic changes.
• 13:29
  And that's going to be the hardest part of the weekend that
• 13:31
  there's not going to lot. There's not going to be a lot of
• 13:32
  people snagging points Maybe on the maybe on, you know, heavy
• 13:36
  Isabel. I could see, you know, some
• 13:38
  girls like really taking advantage of the heavy Isabel,
• 13:41
  but everything else is going to be, it's going to be a fight for
• 13:44
  every point. I think, I think in the run for
• 13:49
  the second spot though, I'm going to go ahead and say Alexis
• 13:52
  is in a tier of her own in this competition.
• 13:54
  You can just agree with me if you want to fee, but I'm going
• 13:56
  to go ahead and say that she's got one of those spots.
• 13:59
  I'd say I think I told her that actually a couple days ago, so I
• 14:02
  beat you to it. OK.
• 14:04
  You go get that first and I'll take the second.
• 14:06
  And I think the girls who are in the running for 2nd place or
• 14:11
  like so we think like none of them.
• 14:14
  Isabel is a home run, you know what I mean?
• 14:17
  It's not, it's not necessarily a bad event, but none of those
• 14:20
  girls, yourself included, it's not like, oh, I'm about to top
• 14:23
  three this. Yeah, none of them.
• 14:25
  They're. All kind of in the same boat.
• 14:27
  Like Christine Kolenbrander, absolutely.
• 14:28
  I think Hannah Black, absolutely.
• 14:31
  Do you think they're in the running for the top two spot?
• 14:33
  No, but. I'm just saying that's what I'm
• 14:34
  talking about. Of the girls in the running for
• 14:36
  the top two spot, none of y'all like I would say Emily yourself,
• 14:41
  Abby. I mean, Abby should be decent,
• 14:44
  but it's not like top three decent, right?
• 14:46
  And who else? Who else we got Shelby, Haley
• 14:50
  Adams? Shelby Neal.
• 14:51
  I actually think Shelby's going to be really good in that event,
• 14:53
  but I think other events are going to hurt her.
• 14:55
  I think event one's going to hurt her.
• 14:56
  One Isabel. What I'm saying is it's not a
• 14:58
  home run for any of y'all. Yeah, I agree.
• 15:02
  But. I'm excited to see kind of how
• 15:05
  everyone does though for the the stronger girls that maybe could
• 15:10
  absolutely power snatch that weight fresh.
• 15:12
  I wonder what it's going to do to them after having done event
• 15:15
  one. A bunch of running.
• 15:16
  I think event one's going to be devastating.
• 15:18
  Like on people's legs and backs and like everyone's going into
• 15:22
  it being like, oh, this is my exact plan.
• 15:24
  This I'm going to power snatch up until Rep 20 and then also
• 15:27
  and then we're about to just hit event 1 so hard and it's gonna.
• 15:31
  Work, especially if it's a quick turn around where let's say the
• 15:34
  women go. I think it's a 3 minute break.
• 15:38
  We're actually on a running clock.
• 15:40
  You you finish and it's a 3 minute reset and then you go.
• 15:42
  Yeah, Yeah, actually I think it's a 30.
• 15:44
  I think it's a 30 minute cap to finish both of the.
• 15:48
  Workouts. Yeah.
• 15:50
  We don't start until 3:00 PM, so like it's going to be maybe an
• 15:54
  hour turnover. I would.
• 15:55
  Well, that's why we think it's only 2 events on day one, and we
• 15:58
  think it's only 5 events and then three events on day 2.
• 16:01
  I would rather what you say what you're what you think three and
• 16:04
  three, six events. I would rather that, but it
• 16:07
  makes you think that there's only going to be 5 the way it's
• 16:10
  set up. Yeah, yeah, putting the putting
• 16:12
  the run event first with the squatting, that kind of does
• 16:15
  actually make me think it would be 5.
• 16:17
  Just pre fatigue the hell out of your like out of your total
• 16:21
  system and then get your like CNS.
• 16:23
  The fatigue after the snatches you're going to feel like trash.
• 16:26
  Yeah, I'm really happy that they made the dumbbell thruster
• 16:29
  weight the way that they did. I think anything heavier we
• 16:32
  everyone's going to would just be failing at that point.
• 16:34
  That work out. I did a version of it, super
• 16:38
  teeny tiny version of it, and I was already standing at the rope
• 16:41
  like, Oh no, this, I'm feeling it right now.
• 16:44
  But that's good for you if you're standing at the rope.
• 16:47
  I mean, a lot of girls were standing at the rope.
• 16:49
  That's also been with no adrenaline, so I'm excited for
• 16:53
  that one. So Spin Fee has not looked at my
• 16:57
  ranking. She doesn't even know who I
• 16:58
  picked for the top 2 and Tyler didn't even know she was
• 17:03
  competing. I don't know what we're kind of
• 17:06
  organization we're running here, man, This is this is pretty
• 17:10
  ridiculous. But the reason we had you on the
• 17:12
  show, Nick Spence, going to pull it up here, is you are the
• 17:19
  actual person I'm predicting to get top 2.
• 17:22
  I can't. Oh.
• 17:23
  That just gave me chills. And I even I I.
• 17:26
  Believe it. I'm glad you.
• 17:28
  Believe it and, and I and so it was just funny.
• 17:30
  I wanted to tell you a little story.
• 17:32
  So like I was going through the process and I'm like, OK, I
• 17:35
  think like I know people will say like a bunch of people, but
• 17:39
  I think like 3 girls are in the running for the second spot.
• 17:43
  I think it's just between you, Abby and Emily.
• 17:46
  And I went to Dallin. I actually had a little small,
• 17:49
  very small conversation with Dallin.
• 17:51
  And obviously, obviously he's biased and I asked him about
• 17:55
  Isabel because I wasn't quite sure how that was going to be
• 17:58
  for you. I know you're a very good
• 18:00
  barbell side player, but your top end strength is not great.
• 18:03
  And, and I was like, good workout, bad workout, Shoot me
• 18:09
  straight. This is going to this is going
• 18:11
  to affect everything that I do here.
• 18:14
  And, and he and he talked, he said he talked me into it.
• 18:17
  It wasn't going to be a bad workout.
• 18:18
  So I was. Like it was, it was.
• 18:20
  Enough. It was enough.
• 18:22
  It was enough for me to put you 2nd place and I so don't let me
• 18:27
  down. I appreciate.
• 18:28
  I will. Hey, if there's one thing you'll
• 18:31
  see from me all weekend, it's given 1,000,000% of every ounce
• 18:37
  of effort that I have and I'm going to die for every single
• 18:39
  point. I'm actually very excited.
• 18:41
  Like I think the old fee would be very nervous for that event.
• 18:45
  And almost like now I'll give myself credit for at least the
• 18:47
  work that I've been putting in. And that's the event that I'm
• 18:50
  almost the most excited for because I just want to keep
• 18:54
  showing myself, but I want to show people that like I'm
• 18:57
  freaking coming strong like I've been working so hard on.
• 18:59
  My and you looked at. You looked at.
• 19:00
  Thank you, Thank you. I've been eating more.
• 19:03
  I've been gaining some weight. I've been just like trying to
• 19:05
  put the pieces together. It reminds me of.
• 19:08
  Diligently on programming and I'm just ready to get all those
• 19:13
  30 reps and hopefully surprise some people.
• 19:16
  Yeah, you got to use your sources, people.
• 19:18
  Why would you not use them? No, it reminds me of James
• 19:22
  Sprague at at Tijuana Palooza two years ago when he hit the
• 19:26
  hang snatch complex and he hit, like, one of his biggest
• 19:29
  numbers. And then now you look at him and
• 19:33
  he wins the CrossFit Games. Like, different person.
• 19:36
  Yeah. Like, you can tell.
• 19:37
  Like there's that trajectory of if you feel confident, you know,
• 19:40
  you're starting to move the weight, it's getting heavier and
• 19:43
  you're able to handle it. Like there's that shift, right?
• 19:47
  And so to. Hear you say you're confident in
• 19:49
  that. Yes.
• 19:51
  I mean, I think this weekend for me is like I'm very confident in
• 19:56
  my fitness and it's going to be a full weekend of execution.
• 19:59
  And I don't think there's a single event that is going to be
• 20:03
  presented where I don't have the fitness to do very, very well.
• 20:08
  Execution is just something that.
• 20:10
  It is the make or break a lot like it's been the make or break
• 20:13
  a lot in my seasons, whether I make it or not make it.
• 20:16
  And there have been times where I just don't execute and that's
• 20:18
  the reason and there's just not enough points to get back.
• 20:21
  So when it comes to the snatch, I know the strength is there.
• 20:24
  I know my battery work is very good, especially when it comes
• 20:27
  to like those 80% lift that range.
• 20:30
  And I've proven that. So it's going to be all about
• 20:33
  just like blinders on. Just focus on one, you know, one
• 20:36
  Rep at a time. Don't look at anyone else.
• 20:38
  And I think if I keep that focus, I'm going to show my best
• 20:41
  fitness so. On the on the execution side,
• 20:44
  like in the past, like where did you fail an execution and do you
• 20:50
  think that you've gotten over that now?
• 20:52
  Yeah. So in the past, like there have
• 20:54
  been times, for example, you know, there's a couple years ago
• 20:59
  back in Orlando, like I still made it, but it was freaking
• 21:01
  close. It was in Orlando where it was
• 21:05
  the final event and I was poorly executing my toaster bar.
• 21:09
  I was starting to fail way earlier than I planned.
• 21:11
  I wasn't as fast as I had practiced on the sand, but
• 21:13
  there's just like a lot of things.
• 21:14
  And I got a pretty low finish and I remember crossing the
• 21:18
  finish line and I was like, I think the bid just slipped out
• 21:21
  of my hands on that last minute. And I'm like looking at my
• 21:23
  friends, looking at my husband, looking at everyone.
• 21:25
  I'm like crush the numbers now. Like I need to know.
• 21:28
  And I think that's why I had that moment of.
• 21:30
  Just what's the P score? Thanks God for no P score on
• 21:35
  that one because. You're in -256 whatever.
• 21:39
  That's whatever your goes. Right.
• 21:41
  But then like years back, I don't know if you guys were
• 21:44
  following along, but it was the year of I did.
• 21:49
  I was in Knoxville competing for Knoxville Syndicate.
• 21:52
  It was the other one in Knoxville.
• 21:55
  And I actually within that weekend, I got top fives and
• 21:59
  sevens all weekend except the Snatch.
• 22:01
  I like only hit like a 170 or something and it was like a like
• 22:06
  a 30th place and I got 7th that weekend and I had that
• 22:12
  qualifying for the LCQ. So it was like everything was
• 22:14
  great. And then but again, I guess that
• 22:16
  was more strength, you know, base.
• 22:19
  But it's usually when it comes down to at least how we compete.
• 22:23
  Now if you have a poor execution on one, it like you don't have a
• 22:28
  lot of points to make up, especially the roster of girls
• 22:30
  at 2020. You have less events, you have
• 22:33
  less days. Like so and.
• 22:35
  You only have 5 or 5 or 6 events like it's 17%, Yeah.
• 22:40
  And that was I mean. Heavy Isabel is not one where
• 22:42
  it's like if you missed one Rep that sets you back 20 seconds,
• 22:46
  20 seconds immediately. So at least.
• 22:50
  That that workout and I don't think people understand how much
• 22:54
  of A risk reward that particular workout is.
• 22:58
  It's not necessary. It's not a normal strength
• 23:02
  workout because somebody could be better than you and they miss
• 23:06
  once and then they rush and miss twice.
• 23:11
  Are you talking about Austin? And then no, stop it.
• 23:13
  Stop it. Well, that actually was
• 23:15
  happening a lot on. Don't you?
• 23:18
  Don't you put evil on Austin Hatfield feet?
• 23:21
  Don't do it. No, no, I'm not.
• 23:22
  I'm not going to match going to feel like that.
• 23:24
  I got love for him. Last year's semi snatch letter
• 23:28
  super fun to watch because also that was like my highest player
• 23:32
  in the barbell event. That was like 12, but it was the
• 23:35
  girls left and right of me clearly have way higher one RMS
• 23:39
  than I do. I think my my Max is like 10 lbs
• 23:42
  heavier than the last barbell which was like 175.
• 23:45
  But you see girls starting to fail and you're just like, don't
• 23:49
  look at them, don't look at them, don't feed into it.
• 23:51
  Oh dude, I'm not feed on it. That's.
• 23:54
  Right, you failed. You weak people.
• 23:57
  Watch. Me do this.
• 23:58
  I don't want to. Miss, you don't want to catch.
• 24:02
  You don't want to catch the cooties.
• 24:03
  You're like no, no, no, no, no. I.
• 24:06
  It's it's no different like you, if you watch someone miss a
• 24:08
  lift, immediately you go, you're like, I don't, I just watch
• 24:12
  someone miss a lift and now that's in my brain.
• 24:13
  Man, we think so different. I watch somebody miss a lift.
• 24:16
  I'm like, man, you're about to watch, watch.
• 24:19
  But like I get, I get 10 times stronger the second somebody
• 24:23
  missed the lift because I I get so cocky and it's just, it's way
• 24:28
  different. Have you ever had that attitude
• 24:30
  and then you? Never.
• 24:33
  Never. Feet, feet, feet.
• 24:36
  The reason I I am not fit is because I don't miss lips.
• 24:41
  I'm just. Trying OK.
• 24:46
  And I and I paid for it. I paid for it.
• 24:47
  You take me. I'm asking Ron.
• 24:49
  I'll miss a pace. Yeah, don't ask about the time
• 24:51
  you did a High Rock simulation with Dell.
• 24:53
  But you told me about your high rocks.
• 24:56
  I was proud of my time. OK, listen, I don't.
• 24:59
  And her. Her.
• 25:00
  Husband. Was really proud of it.
• 25:02
  In the middle of it, her husband really proud get.
• 25:04
  It with with us. Oh, he.
• 25:05
  Did did he beat? You.
• 25:07
  Yes, everybody. He's on that account.
• 25:11
  With me, he didn't, he didn't beat me by half much.
• 25:13
  OK, he was, he was like 5 minutes ahead of me 5.
• 25:16
  Minutes is a. Ton of time it was.
• 25:19
  It was an hour and a 25 minute workout for me it was it was
• 25:25
  anyway we can get off of that? Anyway, that all to say, John is
• 25:29
  not fit, but you are very strong.
• 25:32
  Keep that. That's what it costs you to feel
• 25:34
  cocky in this, in that moment. It costs you your fitness.
• 25:37
  So. One of these days you got to go
• 25:39
  test event one and see how. I actually plan on doing event
• 25:44
  one. I I love those long hard grinder
• 25:47
  workouts. I'm not, I'm not good at them,
• 25:49
  but I love doing them. Does that make sense?
• 25:52
  Yeah. Taking this time.
• 25:55
  You definitely. Yeah.
• 25:55
  Well, I guess it doesn't hurt immediately.
• 25:57
  It only hurts. Right, Yeah, yeah, See, I get, I
• 26:01
  get to run slow on that because I'm like, OK, I'll just do these
• 26:04
  squats on broken and then I'll and I'll, well, no, I'll choose
• 26:08
  to hurt on the squats and then that way I can run slow, you
• 26:11
  know? It's just shuffling your feet,
• 26:14
  yeah. That's what it, that's what it
• 26:16
  takes in your battles. All I have to say is you have
• 26:20
  the better end of that. You don't want that feeling like
• 26:22
  I'm, I'm glad that you have what you have.
• 26:25
  I'm envious of it. I'm excited for that one too
• 26:28
  because we've been working so much on running.
• 26:30
  Like there's been a couple more things taking priority, which
• 26:34
  obviously strength, I think forever for the rest of my
• 26:37
  career is going to continue to be the priority.
• 26:39
  But we've been doing so much running without it knocking my
• 26:44
  strength, which is awesome. And like I've gained 5 lbs, I'm
• 26:47
  running more but getting stronger.
• 26:49
  And we just tested our 5K and it's like, OK, everything is
• 26:52
  like on the up and up. So I'm excited just to do that
• 26:56
  event to be able to kind of see how the running has been taking
• 26:59
  place too. No, I think to get fitter and
• 27:02
  gain weight at the same time, that's like a crazy grave
• 27:06
  feeling. Yeah, it's been slow, but I used
• 27:10
  to wait my first year I was like a 125 athlete and I it's.
• 27:14
  So small. Yeah, that's teeny.
• 27:16
  Well, that's why we were only good at the CrossFit light
• 27:19
  barbell. Stuff.
• 27:22
  So you're at, you've been at Mayhem for a few days, right?
• 27:25
  Has anybody else shown up yet? Actually, Royce, Royce is here
• 27:30
  from Australia. Royce done.
• 27:31
  He got in I think Sunday or Monday or no Sunday.
• 27:34
  I think one of those days he had a lot more travelling.
• 27:38
  I just drove 9 hours. I think he travelled like 24
• 27:41
  hours. That's crazy.
• 27:43
  And then who else did I see? I saw a lot of the guys from
• 27:48
  Benito. I saw.
• 27:49
  Benito I saw. Who else did I see?
• 27:53
  Sounds like all four years. Yeah.
• 27:55
  Everyone's rolling in. Right now I'm like, who did I
• 27:59
  see? You saw, you saw all the foreign
• 28:01
  people, Yeah. All the foreigners.
• 28:03
  No, everyone. Well, yeah, because they're
• 28:05
  getting in early. I think a lot of people like
• 28:07
  James gets here tomorrow. Some of my friends get here
• 28:11
  tomorrow. So all the in state.
• 28:13
  People Royce is he posts a lot like he does a lot of the
• 28:18
  mayhem, like regular block programming that they post.
• 28:22
  He does like the semi final, you know, games version and like his
• 28:26
  scores for the past little bit. Like I watch them all the time
• 28:29
  because I'll submit my scores on there and I'm like, where's
• 28:31
  Royce? Like he's the name that I know.
• 28:33
  So I'll scan and find them and like sometimes I'm like decently
• 28:36
  close and then the closer we've gotten to this competition, he's
• 28:40
  just like way ahead. So like you've been sandbagging
• 28:43
  for months and now? You're actually into work.
• 28:46
  He knows when to amp up the fitness.
• 28:49
  You can't do it all year long. Right.
• 28:51
  Have they done he? Has four kids.
• 28:54
  Royce he's. He's a father of.
• 28:56
  Four kids, yes. He reminds me, have you seen Ted
• 28:59
  Lasso? Have you seen Ted Lasso?
• 29:01
  No, but I care about it all the time.
• 29:03
  Oh OK, well don't worry about it here.
• 29:05
  He looks just like a character. On the reference I just laughed.
• 29:10
  OK. Have they done anything with
• 29:13
  Have they done anything with CrossFit Mayhem yet?
• 29:15
  Like the setup for the competition?
• 29:18
  Do I know anything about the setup?
• 29:19
  No, they set it like did they started setting up the flooring
• 29:22
  or? Oh, that, that from what I know,
• 29:24
  I think they're they're going to start setting it up tomorrow
• 29:26
  because they're starting to close the gym during certain
• 29:29
  times. And the flooring is actually
• 29:31
  going to be different than Mayhem Classic back in 2020,
• 29:35
  where in 2020 we originally had the rig on the main space,
• 29:39
  right? And like, it was like that main
• 29:41
  floor. It was the only floor that we
• 29:43
  used right in the middle of the facility.
• 29:45
  And now it's actually going to be switched where part of the
• 29:47
  floor is actually going to be on the turf and the lanes are going
• 29:50
  to be down kind of horizontally. And yeah, it's just going to be
• 29:55
  a different setup and I think a much wider more space than their
• 29:59
  first year. Good deal.
• 30:01
  Well, I'll be there in Cookeville on Saturday.
• 30:04
  Tyler, are you going to be making the drive?
• 30:07
  I'll be down there Saturday morning.
• 30:10
  How long is the drive for you? Like 6 hours probably.
• 30:15
  Oh, that's. Not bad, I got.
• 30:16
  Less I got less than two hours so I'm makes it easy for me.
• 30:19
  Oh. Brett, where are you at?
• 30:21
  Just outside of Nashville on the other side.
• 30:23
  Oh. It's so easy.
• 30:25
  I'll be I'll be here. I I won't make.
• 30:28
  Where do you? Live I Houston, TX, OH.
• 30:31
  You're in Texas, OK Oh, that's why you're doing the The Good
• 30:35
  League weekend in Texas. Yes, ma'am.
• 30:38
  Yes, ma'am. That's a whole other topic for
• 30:40
  another day. Yeah.
• 30:42
  We'll let you get back to everybody else.
• 30:44
  I've seen Dom and others walking around.
• 30:47
  Behind you So I'm playing with Dom and Olivia.
• 30:49
  They're they're hosting me before before it starts to get
• 30:53
  crazy. Nice.
• 30:54
  Well, I appreciate you jumping on and good luck this weekend
• 30:57
  and we'll see you there. Thank you girl.
• 30:59
  Thanks, you guys. See, I won't let you down, John.
• 31:01
  I appreciate. Hopefully not see ya bye or.
• 31:09
  Did you hear that? No.
• 31:12
  Jorge said I won't either. I'm 17th.
• 31:15
  I wish that picked up on the mic a little bit.
• 31:20
  Better That's good stuff. Good stuff.
• 31:29
  Just want to move on. By the way, if my if my if I
• 31:35
  just like cut out, it's because a tornado took me away.
• 31:38
  Storms are storms are brewing over here in in Nashville.
• 31:42
  That's why you should be in in Cookeville.
• 31:45
  Yeah, something like that. All right, so viewer comments.
• 31:48
  I don't know if this guy dropped a comment or not.
• 31:50
  I think he has bigger things to deal with, but at Barbed
• 31:55
  Wirecats, Tyler, what are you? Doing Did I screw it up?
• 32:01
  Your audio is. Yeah, like it got weird.
• 32:04
  Feedback. OK, I'll switch back.
• 32:06
  Oh. You're better now.
• 32:06
  You're better now. Is it better now?
• 32:09
  OK, so. Far Yeah, I love John.
• 32:13
  He makes the shows he is on engaging and entertaining.
• 32:18
  Before he does commentary with Philip Syndicate, he must rein
• 32:21
  in the compulsion to interrupt people speaking on podcast.
• 32:24
  I'll stop you there, Spin. I I understand.
• 32:28
  Don't just. I'm just kidding.
• 32:30
  Go ahead. Go.
• 32:32
  Ahead on podcasts, it doesn't really matter.
• 32:34
  For competitions, it does just just.
• 32:38
  I agree completely. Friendly advice.
• 32:40
  It is it is something that I am I'm working on.
• 32:44
  I good, great advice. I I I'm hopefully, hopefully I
• 32:48
  will be better than I was at crash.
• 32:52
  Just work in progress. I'm going to do my best, guys.
• 32:56
  Terry wants to know Tyler, why are you in Frank's bathroom?
• 32:59
  I. Mean I am not.
• 33:01
  I love how we have to go over this every time I travel.
• 33:05
  Sorry, I can't I I can get out the other Mike's, but I don't
• 33:10
  think you guys want that. John Young's McDonald's Order
• 33:16
  Can we address the $200 spectator tickets for the Mayhem
• 33:19
  Classic Insane. Not really.
• 33:24
  I mean, think about it, they don't have a large crowd that
• 33:27
  they can fit into that place. It's like, it's like going to a
• 33:30
  Duke game like those, those tickets are going to be more
• 33:33
  because there is no seating and like if they sell out and they
• 33:36
  will, why would you not make it more?
• 33:40
  You know what I mean? If it's, if they sell out $200,
• 33:43
  why would you make it $50? It's, it's, I mean, it's just,
• 33:47
  it's just, it is what it is. That's how much money those
• 33:50
  tickets are going for. And you know you're going to get
• 33:52
  the show Worth the $200. Yeah.
• 33:55
  I mean, these are honestly this probably will be the best semi
• 33:58
  final there is as far as talent pool that's there.
• 34:01
  Yeah, density of talent for sure.
• 34:05
  Grant yes, it is the road caster acting up.
• 34:09
  So we're just, we're just living with it.
• 34:13
  Let's see, this one is a little bit of a conversation.
• 34:16
  SJD 5 JD wants Nicholas Padune as a Cinderella so bad but hates
• 34:23
  on Tyler Christopher for the exact same reason.
• 34:28
  I responded and said no, that's Tyler and ML Kearns chimed in
• 34:33
  and said who is Tyler Christopher?
• 34:36
  Exactly do. You do you want.
• 34:43
  To tell you all about him. He's a quitter, is what he?
• 34:45
  Is Tyler Tyler Tyler be act like Tyler Christopher is looking at
• 34:52
  you right in the face. OK, I did this.
• 34:54
  Jorge. Got in my ass about this
• 34:56
  because. Oh, pause.
• 34:57
  What? Whatever.
• 35:00
  So when we were in water Palooza like a year or two ago, Jorge
• 35:04
  was like, hey, he's like, I know who you are.
• 35:07
  I know what you've been saying about me.
• 35:09
  So we had to have a good talk, he.
• 35:11
  Knows what John's saying about him too.
• 35:14
  I, I tell every athlete to their I looked, I looked Jason in the
• 35:19
  eyes and said, I don't think you'll ever win the CrossFit
• 35:21
  Games. And and he's never let it go
• 35:23
  ever since, apparently. I like how my clip of calling
• 35:28
  him Flopper came back. I was like, I've called you
• 35:31
  Flopper. The least?
• 35:32
  The least I don't think I've ever called him that.
• 35:37
  I said he was going to win the games when no one said he was
• 35:40
  going to win the games. He did.
• 35:42
  I still sit down at the higher ceiling than than Jason, so
• 35:47
  Jason has to win the games to. You know, what's funny is I
• 35:50
  actually think the two are just, you know, hand in hand.
• 35:53
  That could go either way. I feel good about both of them
• 35:56
  now. There's chances.
• 35:58
  In they've they've had different journeys. 11 has peaks and
• 36:02
  valleys, and once it's been on a consistent, exquisite
• 36:06
  trajectory, but you know, I just feel like they're like lightning
• 36:11
  and Thunder. I just don't know which one is
• 36:13
  which, you know? Jason's definitely more
• 36:16
  entertaining. Those peaks and valleys, they
• 36:18
  they keep you interested. Jason is is.
• 36:20
  You're right, Jason is more entertaining, but you can't
• 36:23
  trust them not as a person. You can trust him as a person,
• 36:29
  but like his his performance, man.
• 36:32
  Like when you don't think he's going to be great, dude, he
• 36:35
  freaking does something crazy and he's awesome.
• 36:37
  And then whenever you expect a ton of them, not awesome and
• 36:41
  it's just it's you just don't know which one is which, you
• 36:44
  know? I think he's grown out of.
• 36:45
  That I know. I think he's getting better.
• 36:47
  I think he's getting better. I agree.
• 36:49
  And I feel like I think he's here to stay, like, you know,
• 36:53
  top five games guy, I think he's here to stay.
• 36:56
  But yeah, they've both had different journeys to get to
• 37:00
  that to where they're at on the mountain.
• 37:03
  They've they've took different routes on the mountain.
• 37:06
  Dallin took the easier side, Jason took the much harder side,
• 37:10
  and they're I would you. Know.
• 37:12
  I'd say they're in the same spot.
• 37:14
  That's fair enough. It's Joe 1986.
• 37:20
  He's 39 years old. Congrats Joe.
• 37:22
  We talked about the competitions people care about in quotes.
• 37:27
  Proceeds to talk about big grid league news.
• 37:30
  It was big grid league news and people and listen, people might
• 37:35
  not care about the grid league, but they're going to because
• 37:39
  we're going to, we're going to, we're going to burn the house
• 37:42
  down. I'm going to.
• 37:42
  It's going to be so fun, guys. And I know none of you guys know
• 37:46
  how any of it works, but we're going to we're we're going to,
• 37:50
  it's going to be, it's going to be such a fun ride.
• 37:52
  I'm going to turn that thing upside down.
• 37:54
  Especially if a few developments might actually take place, it
• 37:58
  could get crazy. All it takes is a couple
• 38:01
  athletes and you guys are going to be on the grid train Mike.
• 38:03
  Scott Pancit going to the rival team.
• 38:06
  Dude, So I kind of, you know what, I'm going to go ahead.
• 38:09
  I don't know if I am supposed to say this, but I'm not.
• 38:13
  Going to stop. Dude, the the commissioner
• 38:19
  wanted to set up our first match to be against the wild, the the
• 38:26
  team that did cancel me and, and, and I was all for it.
• 38:29
  I'm like, get it, Let's do it. You know, they're they just won
• 38:32
  the championship. They're a great team.
• 38:34
  We're probably not going to win. I'm going to be honest with you.
• 38:37
  You know, all of our, all of our team is rookies for the most
• 38:40
  part. So like it's a big ask, but I'm
• 38:43
  like, bring it on. I'm I win one thing, I'm going
• 38:47
  to be obnoxious, OK, Like it's going to be.
• 38:50
  And they refused to play us. They said no.
• 38:54
  And so we had to play a different team.
• 38:56
  I mean, they said no. They they refused to play us.
• 38:59
  They said they weren't going to play us.
• 39:00
  Hell yeah, that's only going. To wait till the championship is
• 39:04
  what it's. Going to dude, dude, dude.
• 39:05
  And I and I just couldn't believe that like I thought it
• 39:08
  would be. I didn't know that you got veto
• 39:09
  power on. Well, I think it's the start of
• 39:12
  the season, you know, it's not. They're making the schedule.
• 39:17
  Who's making the schedule? The while.
• 39:19
  No, no. They're in the front.
• 39:22
  Like they made the schedule. It's out.
• 39:23
  I see. I I know I published.
• 39:24
  It he was going to change the schedule and and and they said
• 39:28
  no, I don't. Even know dude, that one would
• 39:30
  have been good but who cares It's going to be a crazy
• 39:33
  showdown when you finally meet. Anyone.
• 39:34
  Oh dude, it's going to be amazing.
• 39:37
  I saw Sroka may not even compete.
• 39:39
  I'm so hyped. At Jr.
• 39:42
  Gills, it doesn't matter who competes at the Games.
• 39:45
  I will watch it because it's CrossFit.
• 39:47
  CrossFit is my team. I think this is in revelation to
• 39:55
  the Grid League, Nick. I'm going to.
• 39:56
  I'm going to make it interesting, dude.
• 39:58
  One way or another, I'm either going to and it's going to be
• 40:01
  like a train wreck and y'all get to see me be the conductor of
• 40:06
  the train wreck, or it's going to be awesome.
• 40:10
  And then I bring Colton along to to conduct the awesome.
• 40:13
  Music to Nick's point though, I have 80,000 followers on
• 40:18
  Instagram. Grid has like 480,000.
• 40:23
  I had more engagement on my schedule post than they did so.
• 40:32
  And my walkout, my walkout music's going to be Big Papa and
• 40:35
  it's going to be amazing. Can't wait to see John in his
• 40:38
  Houston Bandits jersey. It's going to be good.
• 40:41
  Or stone cold. I'm leaning.
• 40:42
  I'm leaning towards doing the stone cold walk out with the
• 40:45
  broken glass. I like that too.
• 40:47
  Hopefully you have both arms. I dude, they, they put that
• 40:51
  picture up and you guys can't put anything different than
• 40:55
  that. I was like, and they, they cut
• 40:57
  it in a way where it does look like I'm Casey Akery on
• 41:01
  steroids. Like, like they, they, they, I'm
• 41:05
  the most roided up adaptive athlete they've ever seen.
• 41:08
  That's what they made it look like.
• 41:09
  I don't know why they had to do that.
• 41:11
  Shout out Casey Akrie. Yeah, so Jr.
• 41:15
  Gills, that's why he will not watch the WFP because CrossFit
• 41:19
  is his team. I love the athletes, but it's
• 41:21
  not about them. Just as you wouldn't stop being
• 41:23
  a fan of your favorite sports team because they have different
• 41:27
  players. I think we're we're, we're
• 41:29
  talking about two different sports though.
• 41:32
  You're. You're like, oh, I'm only a fan
• 41:34
  of like, I don't know, the Jacksonville And it's like, OK,
• 41:39
  cool, you can still be a fan of Duke like you can.
• 41:42
  Still watch Duke. Yeah, right.
• 41:45
  So yeah, that's Jr. Gills and the last one.
• 41:50
  I just have to read this at AHA 8008 as a listener from the
• 41:57
  beginning, this woke liberal capitalist, feminist, economist,
• 42:01
  etcetera sports fan appreciates that you mostly keep politics
• 42:05
  out of the podcast. You're welcome.
• 42:08
  But still, when you talk about athletes traveling to the
• 42:11
  events, why are you ignoring the massive elephant in the room,
• 42:15
  the UK, Germany, Denmark, Ireland?
• 42:18
  Not true. Finland, Norway, etcetera have
• 42:20
  now all warned against traveling to the US and Canadian airline
• 42:24
  bookings were just published as being 75% down from last year.
• 42:31
  I'm going to. I'm going to.
• 42:32
  All right, time for mayhem predictions.
• 42:36
  All right, here we. Go.
• 42:36
  I wanted to do that one so bad, but all right, I don't.
• 42:39
  I don't. I don't even know what that
• 42:41
  meant. There's so much fallacy built
• 42:44
  into that question. Your question was posed was.
• 42:46
  There a question. No, there wasn't.
• 42:49
  OK, I wasn't sure it's just a statement.
• 42:52
  I was going to whip my massive Dick out here in a minute and
• 42:55
  read that comment again. Where are you going to find?
• 42:59
  Yeah, I'll go find one. Colton's walking around here
• 43:03
  somewhere. I'll go get him.
• 43:05
  I'll go, I'll go get him. Avery.
• 43:08
  Justin Colton if you want to get a teeny weeny a go to go to
• 43:13
  crocheted crochet mustard cheat company on Instagram or get you
• 43:19
  a pig. The pigs are now available.
• 43:22
  Go get it. If my wife's watching.
• 43:24
  Put it whatever you want in the comments dear, for people to go
• 43:27
  get it. Predictions, John, I don't know
• 43:34
  what is going on with this today.
• 43:38
  It's not filling the screen. Oh, that might be my.
• 43:43
  Fault. Oh really?
• 43:45
  That's cool, that's cool. I may have messed around with it
• 43:50
  a little bit this. What happened?
• 43:51
  I'm out. Adam and I were testing out a
• 43:53
  clock and I didn't know how to fix it back once I screwed it
• 43:56
  up. So sorry, look.
• 43:58
  At that in real time, I fixed it.
• 44:00
  I was like, man, when I I did it with fee in there, I was like, I
• 44:02
  don't know what's going on. You called.
• 44:14
  I heard the iron hog was needed. That's.
• 44:17
  What I heard now there's the the HOG signal up in the sky.
• 44:25
  Dude, we should make a hog signal dude and just anytime he
• 44:30
  does something just put the signal out.
• 44:35
  All right, 20 men, 20 or 18 women called DB and Brooke Wells
• 44:42
  dropped out Kind of changes our our whole prediction.
• 44:46
  From Do we know why? Don't talk about it, Tyler.
• 44:50
  We should just ask Danielle. I'm sure she'll tell us.
• 44:53
  Everybody talked, asked Danielle on her live Instagram and she
• 44:57
  said don't ask her. I don't know.
• 45:00
  I feel like it's something so simple and she's just being
• 45:05
  dramatic. Obviously I don't know, but like
• 45:07
  if it's just like your shoulders hurt, you don't want to hurt it
• 45:09
  more. You're just going to try to do
• 45:11
  your best in online and then syndicate like and it's
• 45:14
  something like that. Like down.
• 45:16
  Down did this exact same and said This is why I feel like
• 45:21
  it's probably that like something like that.
• 45:22
  And then she and then for some reason wants to be however she
• 45:27
  is. And then if it's like super
• 45:29
  personal and I'm sorry, I said. The WFP is net the week fought
• 45:34
  the weekend following and so I could see that having something
• 45:39
  to do with it. But this is like like this so
• 45:42
  far has been a really good competition for it for her.
• 45:45
  And then also Rich said on his podcast today that he was like
• 45:49
  she had a freaking softball toss coming.
• 45:52
  That is yet to been announced. Sounds like I'm best not just a
• 45:56
  handstand walk. I mean, I take her to win that.
• 46:02
  Yeah, I mean, I think my opinion is athletes are starting to
• 46:09
  realize that this whole like I could just compete at this 90%
• 46:16
  level 8 * a a year is not going to pan out.
• 46:23
  Well, and I, I think it'll take a little bit to, to, I think
• 46:27
  exactly what you just said is going to come to fruition.
• 46:30
  I do think it's going to take a little bit for that to come
• 46:34
  about. And like, like I'm talking like
• 46:36
  come around syndicate time, you'll see what the WFP is
• 46:42
  causing. You know what I mean?
• 46:43
  When, when online simmies don't go as good as you just assumed,
• 46:47
  they're going to go right for certain athletes.
• 46:50
  I'm not even, not even Danielle exclusively.
• 46:52
  I'm just talking about everybody.
• 46:54
  Yeah, you could be 13th at the online semifinals, which is
• 46:57
  freaking amazing and. Not.
• 46:59
  Anyone with the games? And then that's freaking Miriam
• 47:02
  von Rohr gets in your way. You know, something like that.
• 47:05
  Order of events like if if it were me and I'm Danielle and I'm
• 47:09
  looking at the mayhem classic. I'm definitely prioritizing
• 47:12
  mayhem because like you have you're, you're definitely within
• 47:16
  that top three, right? And then why risk it and go to
• 47:20
  the WFP event and then have to do online semifinals and maybe
• 47:24
  screw up? Like what?
• 47:25
  What happens if you I don't, I don't hope she gets hurt, but
• 47:28
  what if you get hurt at the WFP event?
• 47:30
  You're putting all your eggs in syndicate.
• 47:32
  I don't, no, no, not at the same time though.
• 47:34
  Like if you do have a nagging injury and you are concerned
• 47:41
  that you may not be 100%, maybe you thought maybe you could kind
• 47:46
  of not get to where you, you know, not peak for this
• 47:50
  competition. And then you're coming into it
• 47:52
  and you're going, man, I don't feel great.
• 47:55
  I don't like, I don't want to go there and either potentially
• 47:59
  hurt myself worse or take third place, right?
• 48:03
  It would not be hard to take third place in this field.
• 48:06
  No. And so like, you take third
• 48:11
  place and now you've maybe aggravated your injury, you've
• 48:14
  added more competition wear on you for that.
• 48:18
  You're now, you know, four weeks from now, you're going to be
• 48:20
  doing 2 Week 2 competitions in two weeks.
• 48:26
  Like it's a, it's a gamble on any of these, right?
• 48:31
  Like, how many times do you try to get up for a competition?
• 48:37
  And like Haley's already said that she's like, at least in the
• 48:40
  Open, she doesn't peak until April, usually when it's
• 48:43
  semifinals, right? Or like, gets in shape because
• 48:46
  she's never had to before. Do we know why Brooks dropped
• 48:51
  out? I don't know, I imagine it's
• 48:53
  probably something similar. She.
• 48:54
  Hasn't said anything. So I don't want to put just all
• 49:00
  of the onus on Danielle, but it is like I there's no reason for
• 49:06
  you to just, you know, be a Dick to all your fans, You know what
• 49:10
  I mean? And people.
• 49:11
  Support. Was she a Dick Dick though?
• 49:13
  No, not a not she wasn't a big Dick, but she was like, you
• 49:16
  know, a micro Dick, you know, like she is like.
• 49:20
  Well below average Dick. Like, like a creeper Dick, you
• 49:24
  know? Like Pedro, Pedro put it in his
• 49:26
  fake news. Like she basically was.
• 49:28
  Like if you're any of you asking why I withdrew, just don't.
• 49:32
  Don't ask. Yeah, and, and like, it's not
• 49:36
  major, but it's still like, you know, people care about you, you
• 49:42
  know, it's and it's kind of kind of mean to just be like, you
• 49:45
  don't care about them, You know, I.
• 49:46
  Think everybody appreciated why Dellen said what he said.
• 49:50
  And it was over. Nobody cared, right?
• 49:53
  Like, oh, I get it done. You know what I mean?
• 49:56
  He's like, I'm not competing. This is why I I got a lot of
• 50:00
  stuff. I get it.
• 50:01
  I wanted to, you know, we're done, you know, and we don't
• 50:05
  even, and we don't even give you a hard time that you're doing
• 50:07
  WFP and that's adding to like all the stuff you got because
• 50:10
  you have to go there, right? But and we get it right.
• 50:13
  We told you something happened, but that's it.
• 50:17
  You said why you're done. It's over.
• 50:19
  By her not saying anything it makes you think something.
• 50:22
  Weird right? Clock.
• 50:25
  Maybe DB and Wells plan on rolling into syndicate and
• 50:27
  walking with the two spots. Easy, all their peers will have
• 50:31
  already qualified. I think it's a slippery slope.
• 50:33
  I don't reckon on that. I don't even disagree with the
• 50:35
  statement. I don't.
• 50:36
  But it is a man. He takes one bad event.
• 50:39
  I was talking to somebody about Norcal, right?
• 50:45
  And it was like, well, by the time Norcal rolls around,
• 50:47
  everybody that's like a games veteran is probably already
• 50:49
  qualified. We don't know that like, right.
• 50:57
  I mean, it's not easy. I, I, again, you look at what's
• 51:01
  quarterfinals was last year, when even at that time, you
• 51:04
  know, everybody's trying hard. But at the same time, you don't
• 51:08
  have to be perfect. Like Dowell would not have
• 51:11
  qualified through quarterfinals last year and he was doing kill
• 51:14
  Taylor. He was competing as hard as he
• 51:17
  could trying to beat those guys would not have qualified, right.
• 51:22
  Caitlin Vanzil finished in the top 11 last year.
• 51:25
  She didn't qualify for the games out of Australia, so like.
• 51:30
  No. Types of athletes can go jump in
• 51:33
  there. And so like Dallon has to go to
• 51:35
  Syndicate, who's to say he takes first or second?
• 51:38
  When you have possibly Adler, you have a possibly Hopper or a
• 51:42
  Hatfield or a Roman or a Luke Parker, like all those things
• 51:49
  can come into play and next thing you know you're at Norcal
• 51:54
  and all it thinks is 2 guys that kind of slipped through the
• 51:56
  cracks, had two bad weekends, not even bad.
• 51:59
  Third place isn't bad and now you're at Norcal.
• 52:03
  And so if you think you're just going to slip into one of these
• 52:05
  later competitions, I don't think that's the case.
• 52:10
  Dude could you imagine if it like it goes down and they just
• 52:13
  get dragged drugged through the wringer and they end up at the
• 52:16
  LCQ right? And I swear the LCQ is going to
• 52:21
  be the the Community Cup for anybody that's in the top 1%.
• 52:27
  Don't lie, don't lie, Hopper, You going?
• 52:31
  You going to bail out now? I'm going to call you such a
• 52:36
  punk if you do that, Jason. You know what?
• 52:42
  You just dropped three spots on the mountain.
• 52:45
  You're off the mountain, I. I think that would be a big
• 52:53
  mistake, man. I think it's looking pretty good
• 52:54
  for you. I think it's.
• 52:55
  Good idea. Jason, I think it's going to go
• 52:57
  really well for you this weekend.
• 52:58
  Just do that. It's definitely going to work
• 53:00
  out for you. Yeah, Speaking of predictions, I
• 53:05
  don't know if this is good or bad for Hopper, but John, who
• 53:10
  posted your stone cold rankings, your predictions?
• 53:12
  I did. First of all.
• 53:14
  Otherwise known as what's going to happen?
• 53:17
  I do have to say I, I, I did like the I was, I was proud of
• 53:22
  my. Dude, the Ovaltine edit is
• 53:25
  pretty great. It's pretty great.
• 53:26
  And, and I brought it in there and your head was too big.
• 53:28
  And I was like, I like it. That way we'll fix it, yeah.
• 53:32
  Anytime you're editing a head on to somebody else's body, always
• 53:35
  make it too. Big listen, I'm done more this
• 53:41
  will piss me off. I'm just waiting for my own
• 53:44
  Instagram. My own Instagram posts from you
• 53:47
  lifting moderate weight a bunch of times.
• 53:51
  That's what I'm waiting on. Stay out the comments, John
• 53:57
  Austin Hatfield. No surprise there for for you,
• 54:01
  John. And I honestly though, I, I, it
• 54:04
  wasn't, it's not, I'm not super confident in it.
• 54:09
  I do think, I do think there's nothing stopping him, but Austin
• 54:12
  has shown that he doesn't. He's not Dallin as far as
• 54:17
  execution goes. And with only five events, even
• 54:21
  if there's 65 or 6 events, one bad execution error is the
• 54:28
  difference between really making it or not.
• 54:30
  I think James is going to be right there with that third
• 54:32
  spot. I don't I in in the running for
• 54:35
  the top 2 and it just it would not surprise me honestly, any of
• 54:42
  the top four if they got the two spots, I would not be surprised.
• 54:48
  Roman, I would be a little bit just because we have no idea
• 54:50
  what to expect from Roman. I don't think he's washed, but I
• 54:54
  just, you know, all four of these guys just seem like
• 54:59
  they're on one and he's not. He's off of 1.
• 55:01
  Right. Well, we don't know.
• 55:02
  Like he's been. I know, but I feel, yeah, right.
• 55:05
  So like, it would surprise me if he just came out here and
• 55:08
  wrecked everybody. But like, I think there's a lot
• 55:11
  of good events for Colton. I think event one's going to be
• 55:13
  great for Colton and nobody's talking about it.
• 55:16
  Event 2 is obviously going to be good for Colting.
• 55:21
  You know, I think he'll be better than people expect.
• 55:25
  I don't think he's going to be top three, but I don't think
• 55:27
  it's going to. I, I can't see, I don't know, I
• 55:30
  can see like 6th or 7th. I just don't think a ton of
• 55:34
  things are going to be bad. I think they're all going to be
• 55:36
  in the running. I think for James it's Isabel.
• 55:38
  For Colton, it's the legless, the legless Thruster 1.
• 55:41
  Jason and Hopper or Jason and Austin, they're the two to beat
• 55:45
  in my opinion. One executioner from either of
• 55:48
  those two, a perfect run from Colton or James can get it done
• 55:52
  to get in the top 2. That's what I think and that's
• 55:54
  how close I think they'll be. It sounds like Mayhem's getting
• 55:57
  one of the semifinal rigs, so like a 14 feet rope climb.
• 56:03
  Does that help or hurt Colton on the rope climbs?
• 56:07
  A shorter rope. Climb I almost think it hurts.
• 56:12
  I think Colton would rather more pools.
• 56:15
  You know, I, I think like he said this before, like regular
• 56:18
  rope climbs, everybody's up there in two.
• 56:20
  He it takes him three right It's and it's always going to take
• 56:24
  him three right. He can't change that legless,
• 56:29
  you do get fatigued. So if his pulling muscles are
• 56:33
  that much better than everybody's when they're
• 56:35
  fatigued, he's not. He can go.
• 56:37
  They can't, right? So even if it takes them less
• 56:40
  pulls, it's still that much fatigue that's much more
• 56:44
  fatiguing. Where rope climbs, that's not
• 56:46
  the case, right? Everybody can rope climb
• 56:48
  forever. So a shorter rope means less
• 56:51
  pulls for everybody. I would say that's bad for him.
• 56:55
  Yeah, I'd agree. James Sprague.
• 57:01
  Dude, I think he's going to rock everything except Isabel and how
• 57:05
  he does how his whole entire competition, we said this at
• 57:08
  Waterpalooza, I said the whole competition for him is that
• 57:12
  clean, squat, clean, that squat, clean, hang, clean.
• 57:15
  That's the whole competition for him.
• 57:17
  I think he's going to win two or three events and I think
• 57:20
  depending on what he does with Isabel is if he can make the top
• 57:24
  two or not if he wins. He think he wins #1.
• 57:29
  No, I don't. Really.
• 57:33
  Yeah, yes. Who's going to win #1?
• 57:38
  I want to pick Colton Mertens. I don't.
• 57:42
  Watch and see, Watch and see. I just don't.
• 57:45
  I don't disagree. He's.
• 57:46
  I think Colton's in first place after day one.
• 57:49
  If legless. If legless workouts not in day
• 57:51
  one. I think Colton's in first place
• 57:52
  after day one. I don't hate it.
• 57:58
  There's a. Good runners there though, and I
• 58:00
  know it's not all just. Running.
• 58:02
  Yeah. And the run is short.
• 58:03
  If it's 700 meters and there's three rounds, it's 2100 meters.
• 58:07
  It's a mile and 500 meters. It's not a time to make up
• 58:10
  distance. And then the 20 Burbie box get
• 58:12
  overs. I get it, I get it.
• 58:15
  You got to travel longer than them.
• 58:16
  But it does slow everybody. It slows everybody down, right?
• 58:20
  It's just can your fitness keep up with their easier Burbie box
• 58:24
  jump overs? And I think it's fitness can and
• 58:27
  then it comes down to guess what 40 freaking squats with 100 LB
• 58:31
  feed sack. That is really hard to do.
• 58:34
  People don't understand it's 120 sandbag squats like that is so
• 58:40
  much and then you have to run with fatigue in your legs.
• 58:44
  Who the freak do you think is the best at that out of
• 58:48
  everybody are? You going to say it's Colton?
• 58:50
  I'm going to say it's Colton Martins.
• 58:54
  I think, I think the, I think the advantage here is on the
• 58:57
  squats and everybody's not thinking about it.
• 59:00
  I think, I think the exact situation we had with the ski
• 59:04
  back where everybody's like Roman, Roman, Roman, Roman, and
• 59:07
  it's a squat workout and nobody and nobody's thinking of Colton
• 59:11
  because there's 3:30 or there's 230 Kow skis in it and nobody's
• 59:17
  thinking about it. I, I, I and I could be wrong.
• 59:20
  You know, James could just win. Cool.
• 59:22
  He could. I mean, he'll be right there.
• 59:24
  I'm not going to say he's not, but I'm going to pick Colton for
• 59:28
  this one. And if Colton's good at it, you
• 59:30
  know who else is going to be. Good.
• 59:33
  At it. Austin.
• 59:33
  Austin. Austin is also going to be good
• 59:36
  at it. So honestly, I think I'm most
• 59:40
  excited for event one. It's it's the least one that I
• 59:43
  know exactly what's going to happen.
• 59:45
  I think a whole bunch of things can happen.
• 59:47
  Isabel. I pretty much know exactly
• 59:49
  what's going to happen. Legless thruster one more or
• 59:53
  less. I know where people are going to
• 59:55
  end up being right. The 3030 thirty thing.
• 59:58
  I think it's a big man workout. I don't think there's a big
• 1:00:00
  advantage on the muscle UPS even if you go unbroken.
• 1:00:05
  I think the 60 Cal bike matters more if that is the workout.
• 1:00:08
  We know we don't know it, but no, I'm not.
• 1:00:12
  And, and you know, again, I could be wrong on this.
• 1:00:15
  I just think people are not. I think it's a different workout
• 1:00:18
  than what everybody else is thinking.
• 1:00:23
  Colton Down, 4th. Roman 5th.
• 1:00:25
  Luke Parker, Sestoval, Sam Cordwaier, Jack Rosemont.
• 1:00:30
  Gimel Harris, 10th place. Is that just because of Isville?
• 1:00:36
  I know, I know other things like you know, the handstand walk
• 1:00:38
  he's great at, if it's dumbbell snatch handstand walk, I think
• 1:00:41
  he's going to be great at that event.
• 1:00:43
  He might even be top three at that event.
• 1:00:44
  He could win that one. Right.
• 1:00:45
  Yeah, he could. 100% he could. Depends how long it is, right?
• 1:00:52
  I think again, I think I think he'll probably win Isabel.
• 1:00:57
  I think he'll be top five in that dumbbell snatch.
• 1:01:00
  If it's if it is the dumbbell snatch, handstand walk 1.
• 1:01:04
  I don't think he'll be bad at the legless Thruster 1.
• 1:01:06
  I don't think he's gonna be in the running with the top five,
• 1:01:09
  but I don't think he's gonna be bad at it.
• 1:01:11
  That alone. Should be good at that one he's
• 1:01:13
  good at. No, yeah.
• 1:01:14
  No, I, he should. I think he'll be well, I what
• 1:01:16
  I'm saying is I don't think he's on the tier of these other guys
• 1:01:19
  of these five, the top five guys.
• 1:01:21
  I don't think he's gonna steal points away from them in that
• 1:01:24
  event, but I do think he's going to be better than like Nick
• 1:01:29
  Matthew. You know what I mean?
• 1:01:31
  Like guys like that, right? I think he'll be better than
• 1:01:34
  Jack in the in a workout like that.
• 1:01:38
  Who? Takes who takes last in the 1st
• 1:01:40
  event. Gee, you know, like what we're
• 1:01:43
  saying, but I, I actually don't know if Gee takes last in place
• 1:01:48
  in that, but it'll be, he won't be great.
• 1:01:54
  He won't be great. Who, what athlete on the men's
• 1:01:58
  side do you think could like? You're way off.
• 1:02:01
  You could be way off on. Corn YA, because we have no idea
• 1:02:07
  what to expect of him if he's healthy.
• 1:02:10
  She. Never is.
• 1:02:11
  Right, like you don't, you never know if he's healthy or not.
• 1:02:13
  They're not swimming in any dirty lakes.
• 1:02:15
  So that's good for him. It you know, Sam, Sam is he
• 1:02:21
  might be like he might have done the least with how fit he is.
• 1:02:30
  I almost put him in the Neil Maddox category where like he's
• 1:02:34
  fitter than where he finishes almost almost routinely.
• 1:02:41
  And that sounds like a really bad insult.
• 1:02:45
  But what I'm saying is I just think he's so much he's and like
• 1:02:50
  he's, you know, borderline retired now, but Sam is very,
• 1:02:54
  very fit and he just doesn't finish where his fitness can a
• 1:02:59
  lot. So I don't know.
• 1:03:02
  I could, you know, he could end up being 19th place.
• 1:03:04
  I've no idea. I think Jorge, I think Jorge
• 1:03:08
  could finish higher, a lot higher than I have him.
• 1:03:11
  I think Jorge is capable of top 10.
• 1:03:13
  Jorge, we've seen him in one individual competition and he
• 1:03:17
  was trash. I was all behind Jorge last year
• 1:03:21
  and he wasn't good. And so he's kind of like, I
• 1:03:28
  know, I know Brian had him very high and he's like, this is kind
• 1:03:31
  of the prove it year for him. That's what Brian said, right?
• 1:03:35
  I think the opposite in a prove it year, if I think you have to
• 1:03:40
  prove it for me to rank you higher, you're going to be low.
• 1:03:43
  Until you prove that you don't, you can't be low anymore.
• 1:03:47
  Does that make? Sense don't reference Brian's
• 1:03:49
  picks. I, I ripped up those, I ripped
• 1:03:52
  those up on, on Pedro. Well, I'm just saying no, that,
• 1:03:55
  you know, that was his his reasoning for having him.
• 1:03:57
  However, where he ever had where he had him was that this is the
• 1:04:01
  year that he's going to prove it.
• 1:04:04
  If that's the case, I'm I just rank people opposite if I think
• 1:04:08
  that way of them, and I think that way of them too.
• 1:04:13
  But I think it's possible for him to finish a lot higher.
• 1:04:16
  Other than that, I feel pretty solid.
• 1:04:18
  I wouldn't have, I know Jack is not super fit right now, but he
• 1:04:22
  was really good at Syndicate last year and I know Jack's
• 1:04:27
  going to murder Isabel. I think he's going to be OK on
• 1:04:29
  the first one, but Jack's capable of finishing lower just
• 1:04:33
  because I know he's not like fitness hasn't been his top
• 1:04:36
  priority the last four months, right?
• 1:04:39
  Other than that, man, I mean, who do you think?
• 1:04:42
  I feel like I've I wouldn't even put here put these names here if
• 1:04:46
  I didn't believe in them. I think I think Fabian Benito
• 1:04:49
  probably has the best chance of breaking into the top 10.
• 1:04:54
  That's fair. I'm really low on Europeans in
• 1:04:57
  American fields until they until until they do it.
• 1:05:04
  You know, Europeans typically don't do as well at the games
• 1:05:08
  when everybody's all together like I have like all of the best
• 1:05:11
  of the world are all together. Europeans usually finish lower
• 1:05:15
  than the Americans do relative relatively not like I know
• 1:05:20
  Yonkowski is routinely top ten right?
• 1:05:23
  Like I, it's not like all Europeans are bad, but I just, I
• 1:05:27
  will not rank Europeans highly if they do high, if they do well
• 1:05:32
  in a European competition, it's like annual Akai.
• 1:05:37
  Annual Akai had to do two or three competitions against
• 1:05:40
  Americans where he did finish better than I like High highly
• 1:05:45
  and now I respect Annual Akai. I don't respect Europeans until
• 1:05:50
  they prove that they are are they are.
• 1:05:52
  Worthy. They're too weak.
• 1:05:55
  Until they're worthy of respect, I'm not going to respect them in
• 1:05:58
  a field with a whole bunch of Americans and that might be
• 1:06:02
  unfair to them. If I lived in Europe, I might
• 1:06:04
  think the other way. I would think wrongly the other
• 1:06:06
  way because we go to the games, it's shown through and through
• 1:06:10
  that the field is not as deep. Real quick, I need a break.
• 1:06:15
  Breaking news. Caleb, we missed Kat's new
• 1:06:19
  dating show on Clydesdale so make sure you go check that out
• 1:06:22
  after this show or tomorrow morning.
• 1:06:26
  This is crazy Caleb. She has 150 matches on Tinder
• 1:06:30
  150I. Mean that I want to know where
• 1:06:35
  she lives. Because it's like if you live in
• 1:06:37
  Atlanta and you only have 150 matches, that might be low.
• 1:06:42
  But if you live in like, I don't know, Iowa, that's probably
• 1:06:45
  good. I I have no idea where she
• 1:06:48
  lives. This is a this is a great
• 1:06:50
  comment, a great comment. We're talking about the men, the
• 1:06:54
  women, I think. It's always a.
• 1:06:58
  It's always. Yeah, All right, listen, women.
• 1:07:00
  Complete opposite. Like it's kind of crazy it it
• 1:07:04
  really is women completely opposite.
• 1:07:07
  Every time Danny Spiegel wins West Coast class or gets top two
• 1:07:10
  in West Coast Classic, it means nothing to me until she can do
• 1:07:13
  it at the games. No, Caleb, this is not Sevon's
• 1:07:22
  show on Sevon that that can take priority.
• 1:07:25
  This is not that show. What's that picture?
• 1:07:28
  What's Caleb doing? But do you want to go to the
• 1:07:33
  women's field? I I do feel I do like that is
• 1:07:35
  that is a great comment, Magnus. The women are like the exact
• 1:07:38
  opposite. But I also asked when was the
• 1:07:39
  last time a European woman won the games when Tia was not when
• 1:07:44
  Tia was competing. Lord doesn't.
• 1:07:47
  Count. I'm going to tell you it was
• 1:07:49
  freaking eight years ago, the last time Tia didn't win.
• 1:07:51
  So like it's it's a easy question to ask.
• 1:07:54
  Technically not. So I'm, I'm so stoked that me
• 1:07:59
  and the other Watkins, who we may or may not be related, get
• 1:08:03
  to hang out at. The fit one.
• 1:08:06
  No, no that. You know what I'm?
• 1:08:10
  Talking about Tyler that which is wild.
• 1:08:12
  Yeah. No, this is this is Mayhem
• 1:08:14
  Watkins best friends with he called him Richard Froning.
• 1:08:19
  I remember Rich I. Remember, before I knew you, I
• 1:08:23
  had heard about Tyler Watkins? I searched Tyler Watkins and I'm
• 1:08:26
  like, oh, this guy, he's looks jacked.
• 1:08:29
  And then I'm like, oh. Wrong one wrong one.
• 1:08:32
  Can I trade up for the better Mom?
• 1:08:34
  No, so weird thing was so we're we're definitely going to hang
• 1:08:38
  out at mayhem. Y'all are going to get to see
• 1:08:40
  some footage of that Tyler or this Watkins and I were talking
• 1:08:44
  about what we drink like normally he he drink, he likes
• 1:08:48
  coffee. He he I guess he runs the
• 1:08:50
  Buffalo brew shop that they have there.
• 1:08:52
  And I was like, I'm not a coffee guy.
• 1:08:53
  I said more of a white monster guy.
• 1:08:55
  He goes, he goes. Well, we could.
• 1:08:57
  Probably figure that out for you if we had.
• 1:08:59
  To no shit within two hours both of us got reels recommended to
• 1:09:03
  us where they were putting white monsters into coffee like a cold
• 1:09:06
  brewed coffee. So I will 100% be doing that
• 1:09:10
  from the Buffalo Brew Shop this Saturday there.
• 1:09:14
  You. Go yeah, I'm with Caleb Monster.
• 1:09:24
  I don't know. Back to the women, Alexis
• 1:09:28
  Raptis. Yeah, I mean, I think she's in a
• 1:09:31
  tier of her own. I don't think we can, you know?
• 1:09:34
  Then we talked a little bit when Fee was on Fee, Abigail, Emily
• 1:09:37
  is your next tier. Yep.
• 1:09:40
  Why not teach the men's this? I think the other women are
• 1:09:43
  better than her. Even with heavy Isabel.
• 1:09:47
  Yeah, I mean, I'm not Age was like. 29th in the West Coast
• 1:09:51
  last year. I don't think, I don't think
• 1:09:54
  it's impossible for her to beat these three.
• 1:09:58
  I think she's in the running for the top two.
• 1:10:01
  I just would put the other women ahead of her.
• 1:10:04
  Like Paige is very good at being consistently fit throughout a
• 1:10:09
  competition with no home runs and no holes, right?
• 1:10:14
  She's just kind of the same the whole way.
• 1:10:17
  You don't get top two that way. You just don't if you're 6th and
• 1:10:21
  everything 5th and everything, there will be two women that are
• 1:10:25
  going to be better than you. Top 2 is so hard for Paige
• 1:10:30
  Sementa. I, I, I mean she you know, she
• 1:10:32
  might prove me wrong, but she's really good at being consistent
• 1:10:36
  all the way through and in semi finals. 6 events, 5 events.
• 1:10:42
  That doesn't make you top 215 events.
• 1:10:46
  Maybe right, because then you're just testing everything 15
• 1:10:49
  events. It's way different.
• 1:10:50
  You can just to Medeiros it all up for sure.
• 1:10:54
  But to be top 2 if five event, six event competition, I think
• 1:10:59
  it's extremely hard to do if you don't have top threes in the
• 1:11:04
  competition. And I just don't see her getting
• 1:11:07
  top threes in the competition unless there's an athletic
• 1:11:11
  Sprint and there's not. It's fair.
• 1:11:15
  Hayley Adams and 6. Shelby Neil 7th.
• 1:11:18
  Is that because she's from the train in Vermont?
• 1:11:22
  No, I think Shelby Neal's great. I think Shelby Neal could finish
• 1:11:24
  higher than seventh. I think.
• 1:11:27
  I think whenever I picked her for the games, she finished like
• 1:11:30
  exactly where I thought she was going to finish and everybody
• 1:11:33
  else picked her to be a lot higher.
• 1:11:35
  So I know people are hyping Shelby Neal.
• 1:11:37
  I like Shelby Neal. I want her to finish higher.
• 1:11:41
  I think she's a good person. I don't think all of these women
• 1:11:43
  are good people. Let's talk about that, John.
• 1:11:47
  There are people that I root for.
• 1:11:49
  There are people that I root for.
• 1:11:50
  There are people I don't root for.
• 1:11:51
  Believe it or not, and maybe not even good people is a bad word.
• 1:11:56
  Just I root. I root for certain people and I
• 1:12:00
  don't root for other people. But I don't let that conflict
• 1:12:04
  with where I rank people. Like every part of me wants
• 1:12:08
  Colton to make it through Mayhem.
• 1:12:10
  I think it would be amazing. It would be the first time he
• 1:12:13
  beat people on this caliber in a major competition.
• 1:12:17
  And I want that with all my heart.
• 1:12:19
  I want that. But I I will not put it because
• 1:12:23
  I don't think it's going to happen.
• 1:12:25
  The same thing I feel with Shelby Neil.
• 1:12:28
  I just, I don't put her, I put her in the same category as
• 1:12:33
  these women, but she's in the bottom tier of that category.
• 1:12:36
  Does that make sense? And.
• 1:12:40
  I think I think she'll do great and I think she'll do good at
• 1:12:43
  Isabel. I think she'll get hurt in event
• 1:12:45
  1, the legless rope climb. I actually think she'll be OK.
• 1:12:48
  I don't think she'll be bad, but I don't think she'll be good is
• 1:12:51
  the thing. There are places where I don't
• 1:12:53
  think she'll be good and to be top two, there can't be places
• 1:12:59
  that I think you're not going to be good.
• 1:13:01
  That's. Fair enough.
• 1:13:05
  Claudia glucked on a 9th. Andrea Nisler in 10th.
• 1:13:08
  Christine Colin Brander in 11th. And and Colin Brander, I don't
• 1:13:14
  you asked me what name could be like a lot worse or a lot.
• 1:13:18
  I I think we don't know. Yeah, we don't know.
• 1:13:20
  Looked like she was doing some snatch waves and training that
• 1:13:24
  she posted. She looked strong.
• 1:13:27
  She always looks strong. Yeah, like I.
• 1:13:28
  Think she's going to murder her back was broken or whatever.
• 1:13:31
  She was not. Yeah, but like, her back was
• 1:13:33
  screwed up and she still went to the games.
• 1:13:35
  True, true. Yeah.
• 1:13:37
  I mean, Colin Renner is the biggest variety on here.
• 1:13:40
  I think she could finish higher. I think she could finish lower.
• 1:13:42
  I literally have no idea. I mean, it's not going to be a
• 1:13:45
  good start. She was not the runner.
• 1:13:47
  I can't imagine it's gotten too much better so.
• 1:13:51
  Right. I mean, he has major holes and
• 1:13:54
  that's why she is where she is. Just like, Gee, you know, I
• 1:13:57
  think she'll have home runs and I think she'll be really bad in
• 1:13:59
  places and that equals middle of the pack.
• 1:14:04
  Yeah, Hannah Black. Same thing.
• 1:14:06
  I mean like if Hannah Black I I I get people think highly of
• 1:14:11
  her. She she didn't even beat Caitlin
• 1:14:14
  Sanders at TFX. Like, like, like her fitness.
• 1:14:18
  I don't think highly of her fitness.
• 1:14:20
  I know she I know she's so strong and it's so awesome,
• 1:14:24
  right? Like, I get it.
• 1:14:25
  Wow, she can pick up heavy circles.
• 1:14:28
  I understand that. That's cool.
• 1:14:31
  Of all people, you appreciate that.
• 1:14:35
  It doesn't mean anything about your fitness.
• 1:14:39
  And only one fifth, one 6th of this is lifting heavy circles.
• 1:14:43
  And I get it. It's probably an event win.
• 1:14:45
  Cool, until Hannah Black shows me that she can do something
• 1:14:50
  fitness wise against other fit people.
• 1:14:54
  Like I can't think very highly of her in a fitness competition.
• 1:15:00
  I think I would as I think through it.
• 1:15:04
  I think Lindsay Lane's probably underrated.
• 1:15:07
  I think Lindsay Lane probably could be around 10th place.
• 1:15:10
  I know she's going to be really good at the run.
• 1:15:13
  I know she's going to be really good at the legless rope climb
• 1:15:15
  one. Isabelle's not going to be great
• 1:15:18
  for her. Probably her worst event.
• 1:15:20
  But I know there's events that I know Lindsay's going to crush
• 1:15:25
  And and I say like top five, right, because obviously Abby
• 1:15:28
  Doe, Memphis Agape like these women are different tiers,
• 1:15:31
  right? But top five, I think Lindsay
• 1:15:34
  Lane, I think Lindsay Lane will steal more points from the top
• 1:15:39
  five athletes than Hannah Blackwill because Hannah Black
• 1:15:44
  is stealing points in one event. That's it.
• 1:15:46
  And until Hannah Black shows me that she can be fitter, you
• 1:15:53
  know, I can't, I don't, I can't think very highly of her.
• 1:15:56
  I just can't, you know, And, and, and obviously she can prove
• 1:15:59
  me wrong, but that's how I feel about her.
• 1:16:03
  Then we have Paige powers down there in 18th.
• 1:16:05
  Is there any chance she does not finish last two months
• 1:16:08
  postpartum? Yeah, somebody gets hurt.
• 1:16:13
  I think it's crazy that she's going to be doing.
• 1:16:16
  It is wild. And it's like there's no hate on
• 1:16:18
  it. It's just like we're we're, you
• 1:16:21
  got to call it as you call it. Like I've been like she's been
• 1:16:23
  posting her training videos and it's just like you're not ready.
• 1:16:27
  I mean like, hats off to her for doing it.
• 1:16:30
  That's why there's only 5 events, because she couldn't
• 1:16:31
  handle 6. This changed it.
• 1:16:34
  Hey, Nisler could come in here and screw this whole thing up
• 1:16:38
  for you. I think it's, I think she's
• 1:16:41
  going to be like a like a Taylor Williamson at Rogue.
• 1:16:46
  Where? Oh, we think where Think she's
• 1:16:47
  going to be better than two. 1000 it's like what you posted,
• 1:16:49
  like we don't know, like she's the most unknown.
• 1:16:52
  And people think, I think people get it twisted.
• 1:16:56
  I with team athletes. I know Taylor Williamson and
• 1:17:01
  Andrew Nessler are probably the fittest women.
• 1:17:03
  Team athletes, like routine, like routine team athletes,
• 1:17:06
  like, like career team athletes. Yeah, that, that people think
• 1:17:10
  about. And she's a monster.
• 1:17:12
  Don't get me wrong. She is.
• 1:17:13
  Taylor's a monster. It's not individual.
• 1:17:17
  If they were good and like and like I, I and I, she's good
• 1:17:20
  enough to be an individual athlete.
• 1:17:22
  I don't think she's good enough to be a perennial Games athlete
• 1:17:27
  individually. And it's just different.
• 1:17:31
  It's very, very different as and I, I, I'm always thinking low
• 1:17:36
  about low on, I think lower of team athletes.
• 1:17:43
  I had to find that one. I just do in individual
• 1:17:47
  competitions. I mean, Andrea Nestler probably
• 1:17:49
  is the best one too. Like it's not like she is super
• 1:17:52
  fit now. I will.
• 1:17:54
  Say this we're we're a few years removed, but like he's scoring
• 1:17:58
  the COVID games like out of the the the the remote portion of
• 1:18:04
  the of the COVID games, she should have qualified the only
• 1:18:08
  the and Taylor. Dude, she can make the game.
• 1:18:10
  No, no, no, no. I'd say Andrea's fitter than
• 1:18:12
  Taylor is, but she can make the games.
• 1:18:15
  I'm not saying that. No, she's individual games fit.
• 1:18:19
  That's not what I'm saying. I'm saying not every year, like
• 1:18:22
  it's like some years make it, some years don't.
• 1:18:26
  And you know, how many times has Manning made the games?
• 1:18:31
  You know, I think Shelby's like two years in a row now, right?
• 1:18:34
  Like I think, you know, Hayley Adams, obviously Hayley Adams,
• 1:18:37
  Paige Shimenza makes it every freaking year.
• 1:18:40
  Emily Rolfe was third place last year.
• 1:18:42
  Abigail Dolman makes it every year.
• 1:18:44
  Visa gaffe is she has she has good years and bad years.
• 1:18:47
  I get V but all of these women ahead of her.
• 1:18:51
  Claudia Glock was a rookie, but I think she's going to be there
• 1:18:53
  to stay. All of these people ahead of her
• 1:18:56
  make the games almost every single year.
• 1:18:59
  I I just think less of team athletes because I think you
• 1:19:05
  would have been individual if you were good enough.
• 1:19:09
  Like from like from the jump. From the jump individual I get
• 1:19:12
  like you might like, yeah, I've gotten there eventually.
• 1:19:16
  But you weren't and that's why you went team.
• 1:19:18
  And then you think you're good enough and then you go try and
• 1:19:20
  it's way harder than you think. And Andrea.
• 1:19:23
  That case is the least amount for Andrea, but it still applies
• 1:19:27
  like I just. Then it's a just it's a
• 1:19:29
  different competition. You saw it with Tim Paulson,
• 1:19:33
  like he should have been great on proven when he when he joined
• 1:19:36
  that two years ago and it was way different.
• 1:19:40
  He he couldn't pace pull ups like he was when they did
• 1:19:43
  synchro pull ups. He was getting left behind and
• 1:19:45
  he's like holy crap, you guys are moving fast was because they
• 1:19:48
  don't do a ton of volume. Just a lot of turnover.
• 1:19:53
  Right. Like it's it's fast, it's more
• 1:19:55
  interval style. They're good at everything.
• 1:19:58
  You can't be bad at anything and I get you got to get lucky in
• 1:20:02
  one semi final and like it's nothing that was programmed bad
• 1:20:05
  for you it. Will yeah.
• 1:20:12
  Mayhem Classic Saturday starts at 3:00 PM Central time.
• 1:20:16
  They have the live stream links up on the CrossFit Mayhem web or
• 1:20:21
  YouTube channel, so check those out.
• 1:20:24
  Sean Woodland doing the coverage.
• 1:20:26
  It sounds like Rich and Angela will be doing some like
• 1:20:33
  broadcast some some broadcast. Not sure exactly how much, but
• 1:20:40
  it does sound like they'll be on there a little bit.
• 1:20:43
  I hope they. Actually wear the get up that.
• 1:20:45
  They I hope so too, the shorts included.
• 1:20:47
  Yeah, that'd be good. Again, I will be there.
• 1:20:50
  Tyler do a workout will be there I heard kill Taylor.
• 1:20:56
  It's going to happen sometime Friday.
• 1:20:58
  At some point we're going to find out if they do it on
• 1:21:01
  Friday, I'm going to be so pissed.
• 1:21:03
  It sounds like Saturday, if they do it, it's going to be in the
• 1:21:07
  morning like they're doing like spectator fan workouts early in
• 1:21:10
  the morning. So I mean, it's, it sounds like
• 1:21:12
  there's going to be people stuff going on all day long and then
• 1:21:16
  the competition actually starts at 3, so.
• 1:21:20
  Get it down as fast as I can go. How fast can that that car go?
• 1:21:25
  Blind rankings. You guys ready for some blind
• 1:21:30
  rankings this? Week, I'm so ready.
• 1:21:34
  We'll see if you guys can get it right.
• 1:21:37
  This week the topic is semi final movements.
• 1:21:42
  Lots of talk about not having squats in the semi finals for
• 1:21:47
  age group. Not having squats in world
• 1:21:50
  fitness project online qualifier So what movements ranking these
• 1:21:56
  five movements what what should be in a semi final qualifier for
• 1:22:01
  say. Oh, OK, this isn't what is in.
• 1:22:04
  This is what should be. What should be so mandatory?
• 1:22:08
  What should you be testing for people to qualify for the?
• 1:22:10
  I mean, it's not the top five list, but it's you're going to
• 1:22:13
  rank the five items that I have. So what, John, what's the number
• 1:22:18
  one movement that you're like? You have to test it to go to the
• 1:22:22
  games. I think so, yeah.
• 1:22:26
  It's not going to be on the list.
• 1:22:28
  Oh, no, I think it's, I think it's going to be on the list.
• 1:22:30
  Yeah, I I think so. It's not been on any other list
• 1:22:33
  so far. That's the difference, Tyler.
• 1:22:35
  We know what we're doing, right? Yeah, it's fair.
• 1:22:39
  All right, first one, the rope climb.
• 1:22:47
  I think it's important. How important.
• 1:22:52
  Yeah. I'm thinking through it.
• 1:22:56
  There's dude, there's so much other pulling you could do that
• 1:22:58
  I would rather see. Like.
• 1:23:03
  Any of the bar pulling. I disagree.
• 1:23:05
  I think it's the second most important pulling movement.
• 1:23:09
  How can you say it? What do you mean?
• 1:23:11
  For games athletes to test Games athletes, because that's what
• 1:23:15
  you're doing. You're getting people to the
• 1:23:16
  Games, the biggest people in the world.
• 1:23:19
  Everybody can do pull ups. Everybody can do chest the bar.
• 1:23:22
  Everybody can do 50 toes the bar in a row to do 20 rope climbs
• 1:23:26
  without stopping. Not everybody can do that.
• 1:23:29
  I think ring muscle UPS is the most important.
• 1:23:32
  I think rope climbs are the second most important.
• 1:23:36
  That being said, you rank it at a. 3.
• 1:23:45
  I'll go 3 hell in it. I mean, do you get my match now?
• 1:23:51
  You're testing people to go to the games.
• 1:23:54
  It's important. It feels a little niche to me.
• 1:23:58
  It is it? I understand that.
• 1:24:01
  We tested a lot. Do you have like a blank one
• 1:24:04
  over top of it? But I would think of it like
• 1:24:06
  you're testing, pulling. There we go.
• 1:24:09
  You know what I mean? Yeah.
• 1:24:11
  And it's one of the most fatiguing pulling things you can
• 1:24:15
  do. I like like a hand over hand
• 1:24:18
  sled pull with a rope. I think that that's more like.
• 1:24:21
  Functional. I disagree.
• 1:24:23
  Why? I disagree.
• 1:24:24
  I disagree. What if you got to get up
• 1:24:26
  somewhere? When, When in the world have you
• 1:24:30
  ever had? Oh no, I can't get up this
• 1:24:32
  without a rope? Oh, there's a rope here.
• 1:24:35
  OK, OK, but if it happened, it would save your life.
• 1:24:42
  When when do you got to pull something with a sled?
• 1:24:45
  You just go over there, pick it up and move it that way Have.
• 1:24:48
  You ever had to pull like a a like a four by four out of a
• 1:24:52
  ditch or anything like on a farm?
• 1:24:54
  Yeah, I pick it up. The hand over hand method on a
• 1:24:57
  farm way more than I've. Ever seen?
• 1:24:59
  I think you used the hand over hand method just more than I do,
• 1:25:02
  Period. OK, I I, I.
• 1:25:04
  Damn right I disagree all. Right, you guys got rope climbs
• 1:25:10
  next one, the ring muscle up John's favorite pull.
• 1:25:17
  I would say 2. 2. Two OK.
• 1:25:24
  It would be cool if they had if if it was also like the context
• 1:25:28
  because like Max set versus like your ability to do repeated sets
• 1:25:33
  like sets of 10 or something. I think repeated sets are more
• 1:25:35
  important. I think so too.
• 1:25:36
  All right. John's two favorite pull in
• 1:25:41
  motions, or two in three. That's just.
• 1:25:43
  Going to have pulling. Yes.
• 1:25:47
  You've kind of backed us into. A GHD sit ups.
• 1:25:49
  Yeah, I don't think this is that important.
• 1:25:51
  Yeah. OK, good.
• 1:25:52
  We're good. We're on.
• 1:25:53
  The group 5, it's cool. I like GHD, Yeah, I like GHD sit
• 1:25:57
  ups, but it's not. They don't need to be in there.
• 1:26:00
  You can do it with other stuff. One hundreds.
• 1:26:03
  Like the UPS? Or toasted box.
• 1:26:05
  It's definitely the UPS toes to bar, but I mean like even like
• 1:26:09
  if you do a front squat within like this is a little different,
• 1:26:13
  but a handstand walk, you're still testing your core.
• 1:26:15
  You're not testing the, you know, the broad motion, but it's
• 1:26:19
  still testing the same source. Your hip flexor is being real
• 1:26:22
  tight, yeah. One in four left, next one the
• 1:26:28
  handstand walk. 4/4 I do. We're either going to love it or
• 1:26:33
  hate it. This is another thing that.
• 1:26:38
  Thanks man, this is another. I don't know what's going on
• 1:26:40
  today. I love all kinds of technical
• 1:26:43
  issues. I don't know why we test it so
• 1:26:45
  much. We do test it a lot, right?
• 1:26:47
  And you talk about functional movement.
• 1:26:51
  This is 0. None.
• 1:26:53
  You're never going to need to walk on your.
• 1:26:56
  Hands. Matter of fact, if you whip this
• 1:26:58
  out of the party everybody's going to think you're a douche.
• 1:27:01
  So it's anti functional. Dude, Hey, yeah, that guy that
• 1:27:06
  got stuck in The Cave upside down in The Cave.
• 1:27:10
  Like if that guy could handstand walk, he might could have gotten
• 1:27:13
  out of there. I'm just saying.
• 1:27:15
  Fair enough. Last one, what do we think it
• 1:27:17
  is? I pray to God it's squatter
• 1:27:20
  deadlift or something that we're, let's say bench press.
• 1:27:24
  What's the? Most functional thing that's
• 1:27:27
  ever been programmed. I.
• 1:27:30
  Think a squatter deadlift. Definitely not.
• 1:27:36
  Shuttle run. Hey.
• 1:27:39
  I'm going to take this as running.
• 1:27:41
  Yeah. That's how I'm online.
• 1:27:43
  It's a semi final, John. In a semi final it.
• 1:27:48
  I wouldn't yeah, but most semi finals you just run.
• 1:27:52
  This is this is the online semi final.
• 1:27:55
  Oh, it's the online. Semi finals.
• 1:28:00
  I don't hate it dude you need to test running.
• 1:28:03
  It just sucks because it's so short.
• 1:28:04
  Now the 15 in back is like. I wish they could make it like
• 1:28:08
  50 in back. Me too. 50 foot segments.
• 1:28:11
  I know that'd be really hard for people, but I don't hate it like
• 1:28:16
  like the functionality of it. I get like, you know what I
• 1:28:19
  mean? I, I'm, I'm with you, It's it's
• 1:28:21
  lame, but it's I, you know, it's not.
• 1:28:23
  I don't think it's incorrect. I would argue that like the
• 1:28:28
  World Fitness project where they had the 20 minute AMRAP with the
• 1:28:31
  shuttle runs and the burpees and the rowing, like I really like
• 1:28:38
  to John's point, it's not for every gym goer, A50 foot segment
• 1:28:44
  where you could just have it down the line.
• 1:28:47
  Like if you can't find a 50 foot stretch as a athlete who's
• 1:28:50
  trying to compete at the top 30 athletes in the world, you
• 1:28:54
  probably need to do something like.
• 1:28:55
  Probably need to find. Actually, if it's like burpees
• 1:28:58
  and yeah. Because you put something.
• 1:28:59
  Where you need a barbell on the. Other you put the camera facing
• 1:29:02
  down the 50 foot stretch like. To a track, yeah.
• 1:29:06
  I mean, you can take it anywhere, right?
• 1:29:07
  Like all you need is 50 feet. It's not that far.
• 1:29:11
  At least 50 feet. It feels like you're running a
• 1:29:14
  little bit. Even 25 feet, though, it was
• 1:29:16
  just like. You're just turning the whole
• 1:29:18
  time, yeah. You know, I do much better on
• 1:29:22
  shuttle run events versus running events.
• 1:29:24
  I did appreciate it though, not having to bend over to touch the
• 1:29:28
  line every time. See, I like, I like I like that
• 1:29:32
  part, though, because it puts it puts back fatigue on you.
• 1:29:35
  All of that stuff makes running now thinking it makes me better.
• 1:29:40
  I. Dare you to try to do that
• 1:29:42
  qualifier workout with the three-point touch like your back
• 1:29:46
  would literally just explode. That quarterfinals workout with
• 1:29:50
  the wall balls and I think shuttle runs and.
• 1:29:54
  From two years ago. Or three years ago.
• 1:29:56
  Three years ago. And Jaycee, but everybody
• 1:30:00
  miscounted it, yeah. It was so I couldn't bend over.
• 1:30:05
  I hurt so bad. The 100, the 100 shuttle runs,
• 1:30:07
  is that that the one? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 1:30:09
  Yeah, yeah, it was so bad. Yeah, I mean, I watched Benoit
• 1:30:16
  Boulanger do it and he did like a little Figure 8 run.
• 1:30:19
  I tried to do that but I don't know.
• 1:30:23
  I mean, I would have just, I would have pivoted, you know,
• 1:30:25
  like the like a, you know, a wide receiver would, but I just
• 1:30:29
  wouldn't touch the ground. Yeah, it was different.
• 1:30:31
  I don't know. So there you go.
• 1:30:36
  Last one last topic, a little bit faster this today than last
• 1:30:40
  week. We're making up.
• 1:30:42
  We are. Not a 2 1/2 hour slugfest.
• 1:30:48
  Tickets. CrossFit Games.
• 1:30:50
  All those little blue dots that you see up there in the upper
• 1:30:52
  right are sold. Tickets.
• 1:30:55
  Are not sold tickets. Those are totally available for
• 1:30:58
  you. The ones in the blue, all the
• 1:31:00
  all of those guys. Yes, yes.
• 1:31:04
  Up for grabs, Get them now while they last.
• 1:31:06
  Now I've made this mistake in the past.
• 1:31:09
  We do not need to buy tickets, correct?
• 1:31:12
  John's asking. I mean, you can if you want, but
• 1:31:15
  you do not need. To guys, last year I bought a
• 1:31:17
  ticket because I thought we had to have tickets to go.
• 1:31:21
  And then, you know, as media, you just go and they have a spot
• 1:31:25
  for you. And I, we spent like hundreds of
• 1:31:28
  dollars on this ticket and, and I didn't need it.
• 1:31:31
  It's still like nothing compared to the amount of you bought
• 1:31:34
  spent on shirts, but hey, odd purple shirts, They're on the
• 1:31:40
  Etsy. So go check those, yes Audrey,
• 1:31:42
  if you want a Dre Y Barbell shirt, I could sell you one
• 1:31:45
  tomorrow. She's coming to my gym tomorrow
• 1:31:46
  morning, uh. Oh.
• 1:31:48
  Careful now, those are also a hot commodity.
• 1:31:51
  Just tell me what size you want girl.
• 1:31:52
  What size and color? Everything to choose from What?
• 1:32:01
  Do you? What do you make of what do you
• 1:32:03
  make of tickets not selling? I I think they will.
• 1:32:12
  I think there's a a multitude of issues happening on like at the
• 1:32:15
  same time. I I don't put a whole lot of
• 1:32:18
  stock in it. It felt a little weird to me
• 1:32:20
  Then when last year when they were like sold out immediately I
• 1:32:24
  was like, that sounds like bullshit.
• 1:32:31
  Maybe, but I feel like other previous years it has been the
• 1:32:34
  same. I mean, I, I will say though,
• 1:32:38
  last year or even previous years, like you could, you could
• 1:32:42
  look and see like what tickets were available during the pre
• 1:32:44
  sale. Like when the affiliates have
• 1:32:46
  the option, like the the Reliant club, I think is what they're
• 1:32:49
  still calling it, where you know, you got early access, like
• 1:32:54
  those tickets are get eaten away.
• 1:32:56
  Like affiliates were taking advantage of those sales.
• 1:32:59
  I don't think it's the case this.
• 1:33:00
  Year. Like obviously when you look at
• 1:33:05
  the. At the at the sales, what do you
• 1:33:08
  think the issue is I. Think it's the location like
• 1:33:14
  Albany is not easy to get to. There's 28 airports that go into
• 1:33:19
  Albany. So you're probably doing some
• 1:33:22
  type of connecting flight. Like Nashville is a direct to
• 1:33:27
  Albany, but it only goes there Mondays and Fridays and it's
• 1:33:31
  probably 1 flight, right? So like, if I want to get into
• 1:33:37
  Albany, I'm not going to leave. On it is.
• 1:33:40
  Like, Monday's too early. Friday's too late.
• 1:33:45
  OK, So I got to go fly through some other place, right?
• 1:33:49
  You're forced, right? And it's a small airport.
• 1:33:52
  If you fly somewhere else, you got to drive into it.
• 1:33:58
  I've not heard one thing great about Albany, like things to do,
• 1:34:03
  right? At least like Fort Worth, it was
• 1:34:05
  like, go to the stockyard. It's like there's all kinds of
• 1:34:08
  cool stuff to do while you're there.
• 1:34:11
  You'll melt your face off. It's so hot.
• 1:34:12
  But like. The stockyards work cool.
• 1:34:15
  The kind of a building. In Albany.
• 1:34:18
  Yeah, it's pretty. It's it's cool looking.
• 1:34:21
  Is it? Are we going to run that back?
• 1:34:23
  Do you think we we run the capital of it?
• 1:34:25
  Again, the Albany Capital. Every time we go to a new city,
• 1:34:28
  run it back. A new capital, Yeah, Yeah, we're
• 1:34:31
  just going to go to every capital.
• 1:34:33
  They have steps. CrossFit Games 2075 in Hawaii.
• 1:34:38
  I bet a lot of tickets out of that one.
• 1:34:41
  Yeah, well, and that's the thing, it's been like, so we
• 1:34:44
  don't like, it's Albany, OK. Yeah, like we knew the visual of
• 1:34:49
  what Fort Worth would look like. Like it was, it was pretty cool
• 1:34:53
  to look at as far as the facility goes.
• 1:34:55
  And then like, you know, the the area surrounding it.
• 1:34:59
  That was cool. Fort Worth's also easy as hell
• 1:35:01
  to get to. Madison, same thing.
• 1:35:06
  Like Madison wasn't super easy to get to.
• 1:35:08
  No. And I think there was some
• 1:35:10
  reservation that first year, but I think it right.
• 1:35:13
  I think going from Carson to Madison people gave it the
• 1:35:16
  benefit of the doubt like. Oh.
• 1:35:18
  Yeah, this is going to be, we're going to take this chance and
• 1:35:20
  like we'll see what it's like. And then it turned out to be a
• 1:35:25
  great location. Right with with them, like you
• 1:35:29
  knew you were still going to have the camp vibes too.
• 1:35:33
  With Albany, we don't have the camp anymore.
• 1:35:36
  That was sort of ruined with Fort Worth.
• 1:35:40
  We don't like, we don't know what the facility looks like.
• 1:35:42
  We don't know what it's going to feel like.
• 1:35:43
  You CrossFit needs to build the vision of what you're going to
• 1:35:47
  feel like when you're there. Why should I come there?
• 1:35:50
  Everybody right now just says Albany, that's weird place to
• 1:35:52
  go. You have to rewrite that.
• 1:35:54
  So if you're on their marketing team, like, you have to start
• 1:35:57
  convincing us that this is a good idea.
• 1:36:00
  It's three days. It's always historically been
• 1:36:03
  four or more, right. OK.
• 1:36:09
  Tickets are 340, I think was the cheapest after after fees.
• 1:36:15
  Yeah, 700 per ticket. So it's hard to get to.
• 1:36:21
  You got to be in a hotel that I mean, I'm sure there's some
• 1:36:25
  around there. And the ticket like it's not a
• 1:36:28
  cheap thing to do. And nobody's saying let's go to
• 1:36:32
  Albany. I've I've said that a lot.
• 1:36:37
  I. Think it's.
• 1:36:37
  Cool, it's the capital. We should do a blind ranking
• 1:36:43
  show of places where the game should go, where you where you
• 1:36:47
  would like the games to be. I think that'd be cool.
• 1:36:51
  What do you think? It would sell less in Europe?
• 1:36:55
  Yeah, you do like. Not in, not so, not in the
• 1:36:59
  European base from the American. Base.
• 1:37:02
  I'm just just in totality. No, I think Europe would sell
• 1:37:06
  out. Yeah, probably sell out.
• 1:37:09
  I I'm just, if you know who's buying it, you know, whoever
• 1:37:14
  that is, do you think that would influence moving it?
• 1:37:18
  I think. It's going to be there anyway in
• 1:37:20
  the next couple of years. Regardless, I think, I think if
• 1:37:23
  B Sport buys it, I think they're going to move it.
• 1:37:26
  If it goes to France, like if the games, if the games are in
• 1:37:32
  France, can we bike up one of the mountains at the Tour de
• 1:37:37
  France? Can we can we rent a couple
• 1:37:40
  bikes and just and me and you go do it.
• 1:37:42
  You're just I, I know them all. We can pick the one that's
• 1:37:46
  hardest or closest I would have. It is on my bucket list so
• 1:37:50
  badly. Yes, John, we, we can do
• 1:37:53
  whatever you want. Spin, spin.
• 1:37:55
  Do you want to come with this? Yeah.
• 1:37:57
  Do you bike spin? He's like, sure.
• 1:37:59
  I bought a road bike back before I found a CrossFit and I was out
• 1:38:07
  of shape, overweight and was really really bad at it.
• 1:38:11
  Did you have your, did you have like a cycling kit and all that?
• 1:38:14
  I did and then I sucked. I, I went, I took it to, I met
• 1:38:19
  up with a buddy, a Co worker that had a had a bike.
• 1:38:21
  I was like, yeah, we'll go riding.
• 1:38:23
  And I can't remember how far it was.
• 1:38:25
  It wasn't far. And we got to a hill and like I
• 1:38:28
  was already like struggling to keep up with them.
• 1:38:31
  Like I was doing it, but I was like, bro, this is getting hard.
• 1:38:34
  And then the hill hits. I was like.
• 1:38:36
  I'm out. He was gone.
• 1:38:37
  I was like, I'm out and I made it like 90% of the hill and he
• 1:38:43
  had already gone down, down, back and then back up the hill.
• 1:38:47
  I was like, I'm just gonna turn around and hang out with you
• 1:38:49
  and. Yeah, let's just like we usually
• 1:38:51
  do, accept that it's going to be a journey.
• 1:38:54
  And the day before the games we're going to go up Mountain
• 1:38:56
  Lawn too, and it's going to be, it's going to be awesome.
• 1:38:59
  Or AA Hess, that's a good one too.
• 1:39:02
  Just whichever 1, whichever 1 you know we're closest to.
• 1:39:05
  But like, it would be a lifelong dream of mine that we could
• 1:39:10
  fulfill. We're all about making dreams
• 1:39:12
  come true. Here, Do you guys have any
• 1:39:13
  dreams? Like if the games go somewhere
• 1:39:16
  for us to do something? We could do the Grand Canyon in
• 1:39:19
  a day, you know, that would be like a hard, hard hike.
• 1:39:22
  You know, if they went to Arizona.
• 1:39:28
  Come on, give me something. Come on, how about we all pick
• 1:39:34
  something and then the one that it's closest to we do?
• 1:39:42
  I still wish they'd come to Nashville.
• 1:39:43
  Would be a lot better. You just don't want to go
• 1:39:45
  anywhere, you just want to stay home.
• 1:39:47
  Exactly. I see.
• 1:39:48
  I see. I definitely don't want to go.
• 1:39:51
  I can tell you what, if Nashville was the location of
• 1:39:53
  the 25 games, that little picture up there would not look
• 1:39:57
  like it is because people still want to just go to Nashville.
• 1:40:01
  Yeah, Nashville. Nashville.
• 1:40:02
  In the sea alone would sell it out, yeah.
• 1:40:05
  Yeah, you're right here. I don't disagree.
• 1:40:08
  Nashville would be cool. Yeah, I mean, it would just be
• 1:40:12
  be awesome and I just don't, I said it last, but I don't, I
• 1:40:16
  don't think the arena feel is what we want.
• 1:40:22
  No, it's not. You said this on.
• 1:40:24
  No, we're not big enough. We won a tennis, a tennis
• 1:40:26
  stadium. A tennis stadium's the perfect
• 1:40:28
  feel. I mean, I'm OK with like the
• 1:40:31
  Colosseum, how we had, how it was in Madison where like you go
• 1:40:34
  inside, you do those types of events, but having something
• 1:40:38
  like North Park, how it's outside, you enjoy that.
• 1:40:42
  Like it was a festival, feel like you could fit anything if
• 1:40:46
  you want. You just had to buy a ticket.
• 1:40:48
  It's $100 and you can go see half the events.
• 1:40:52
  There's something about the finding the fittest on Earth,
• 1:40:56
  and CrossFit in general feels like it has to be half outside.
• 1:41:02
  I agree. Functional fitness in real life
• 1:41:06
  occurs outside. If you're not doing that, it
• 1:41:08
  feels wrong and like, yeah, we're doing CrossFit.
• 1:41:11
  Even if you're like lifting weights and stuff, yeah, it's
• 1:41:13
  still yeah. We're doing CrossFit and this,
• 1:41:16
  the CrossFit Games, is about finding the fittest on Earth.
• 1:41:18
  It's not just about CrossFit. You have to get outside.
• 1:41:21
  Yeah, Friday, even if you're just doing a CrossFit workout
• 1:41:24
  like Friday Night Lights when it was out in Carson and it's not.
• 1:41:29
  It's just lifting weights and doing pull ups.
• 1:41:32
  But like Rich doing 21159 the way he did.
• 1:41:36
  Like like there's there's so many good memories, Vance being
• 1:41:40
  outside. I mean, you're thinking of the
• 1:41:42
  long grandiose ones. I'm thinking of just regular
• 1:41:44
  ones. Freaking legless.
• 1:41:45
  The first time that came out was outside that moment when Jordan
• 1:41:48
  Troy and raises his hands and then he gets beat by Rich and
• 1:41:51
  Marcus Hedren. Like all that's outside, too.
• 1:41:54
  Imagine having all of the workouts.
• 1:41:57
  Inside. In No, in the tennis stadium, it
• 1:42:00
  wouldn't have had the same appeal.
• 1:42:02
  No. You had you still had a split of
• 1:42:05
  the soccer field and doing all that stuff or going to the
• 1:42:08
  track. No, you need just different big
• 1:42:10
  use. Period.
• 1:42:11
  Right and. Some people are better in the
• 1:42:14
  gym, some people are better outside, some people are better
• 1:42:18
  on a football field. Like I guess.
• 1:42:20
  Yeah, and I know like splitting the games off, I mean there's
• 1:42:24
  sounds like some people really like that, but they got to like,
• 1:42:27
  you know, the competition was on them etcetera.
• 1:42:32
  I think it makes sense to have it a festival feel with
• 1:42:36
  everybody there, John. She ain't, she ain't trying to
• 1:42:40
  do that. I've already talked to her in
• 1:42:43
  like she's lying through her teeth right now.
• 1:42:46
  She goes and what's Abby going to do?
• 1:42:47
  And I'm like, you know, I got to deal with that.
• 1:42:50
  Get lost. Kick rocks, kid.
• 1:42:56
  But like now that we have Pitt doing the teenagers and legends
• 1:43:00
  doing that, the masters and and Wheel one doing the adaptives,
• 1:43:06
  why not just coordinate where they actually run their event at
• 1:43:09
  that festival, right? Like CrossFit can't run
• 1:43:14
  everything, but if you have the teams in place to run the events
• 1:43:18
  for your group, could you bring it back together right so.
• 1:43:26
  The Yeah. 100%. Right.
• 1:43:29
  So you still have a legends team and you have their team focused
• 1:43:32
  on doing everything for the masters divisions Pit.
• 1:43:35
  Teams those meetings would look like they sit down Dave's like
• 1:43:39
  OK we have this time slot this time slot this time slot teens
• 1:43:43
  you get you can have this slot and this slot or whatever you
• 1:43:46
  guys need to work this out this time is not dedicated to the
• 1:43:50
  elite individuals or elite teams go figure it out do.
• 1:43:53
  What you want? Right.
• 1:43:54
  Yeah. And you still do it like it was
• 1:43:57
  what, in 23 where it was like majority like Tuesday,
• 1:44:00
  Wednesday, half a Thursday was age group adaptive and then
• 1:44:05
  Thursday you kind of had overlap.
• 1:44:07
  And then Friday, Saturday, Sunday was just dedicated to the
• 1:44:12
  individuals and teams like, and you have those different groups
• 1:44:16
  work on it. I just feel like that is what
• 1:44:19
  brings it back together. The only issue there would be
• 1:44:23
  revenue split. What if they did it within a
• 1:44:30
  rent? I don't think they're operating
• 1:44:32
  it from it. I don't think you know what I'm
• 1:44:34
  saying though. Do you really think that the
• 1:44:38
  Masters games are making money? No, but what I'm saying is it's
• 1:44:43
  like, how's that that debates going to be terrible to have to
• 1:44:46
  sit through is like, you know, pitting is going to be like,
• 1:44:49
  well, I mean like what our what's our percentage and.
• 1:44:52
  They get a budget just like the other.
• 1:44:53
  The other always do. Right, right.
• 1:44:55
  I. Mean, I don't think it's.
• 1:44:57
  I mean, you're basically working for CrossFit at that point.
• 1:44:59
  Yeah, you give them, you give them money and they allocate how
• 1:45:02
  they how they feel. I think they should partner up
• 1:45:06
  with like a Renaissance fair and do it there.
• 1:45:09
  Can you imagine 'cause? That's my dream.
• 1:45:11
  Think about it, think about it, think about it.
• 1:45:12
  We just have this thing here and a bunch of people dressed up in,
• 1:45:16
  you know, whatever are just around eating big old legs and
• 1:45:21
  just walking around a bunch of unhealthy people who like to
• 1:45:26
  pretend. Drinking Mead.
• 1:45:28
  Get to watch like the fittest athletes in the world and get
• 1:45:33
  inspired, yeah. There's there's the Renaissance
• 1:45:36
  Fair in Nashville, all of May. There's a castle.
• 1:45:40
  Perfect timing right off the highway.
• 1:45:42
  I don't I don't want to didn't want to say this, but the
• 1:45:45
  Renaissance Fair in Houston is like the second biggest in all
• 1:45:48
  of America and it's it's it's intense.
• 1:45:52
  We went once we didn't dress up and we got like mean mugged
• 1:45:56
  because we were one of the only people not like they take it
• 1:45:59
  serious. There was a there was a winch
• 1:46:03
  that you threw like apples at right to duck dunk her and she
• 1:46:07
  told me that I was on steroids. And then I.
• 1:46:09
  Dunked her John misunderstands the assignment, dresses up as
• 1:46:13
  Shrek. I don't have to.
• 1:46:16
  I don't have to dress up for that.
• 1:46:17
  I just put on that. I just put on that outfit.
• 1:46:19
  I look just like. This is not Albany, but I wanted
• 1:46:23
  to wrap up the show with this story if you guys have been
• 1:46:28
  following along. Michael Miley.
• 1:46:32
  This is my favorite story. This this dude, this is crazy.
• 1:46:39
  If you guys were, I guess back in January, the MBS Turkey
• 1:46:45
  Challenge ended up not paying out the podium.
• 1:46:49
  What? Yeah.
• 1:46:51
  It was also paired with reps ahead where they had the little
• 1:46:56
  tournament thing there in the like classroom setting thing
• 1:47:00
  that looked like Hillary was there.
• 1:47:02
  Brian Friend obviously was there.
• 1:47:07
  Well since then he shut down MBS CrossFit and now he was just
• 1:47:15
  charged with 22 counts of pet insurance fraud.
• 1:47:20
  It sounds like he basically created a fake veterinary clinic
• 1:47:24
  website and then started just filing fake claims to three of
• 1:47:28
  these companies. Got away with $80,000 with
• 1:47:34
  Healthy Paws. There he is, right there.
• 1:47:38
  Hey, don't Natpet's not insured. No, he was using that pet and
• 1:47:43
  filing claims on that. The dude faces up to 50 years if
• 1:47:48
  convicted and gets the maximum sentence, which the news report
• 1:47:52
  basically said that that's not likely.
• 1:47:54
  But dude, he was. He was the CEO owner of Renovo,
• 1:48:02
  which was the main sponsor of reps ahead.
• 1:48:07
  It is wild. Dude, this this, but I can't
• 1:48:12
  remember which. Like it's like it's not a
• 1:48:15
  documentary, but it's like a dramatization of like it.
• 1:48:19
  It overlaps amazing because it's like this gay serial killer and
• 1:48:24
  he like fakes all these people out and.
• 1:48:26
  What? What is this?
• 1:48:28
  I can't remember what the like what the the show is called.
• 1:48:31
  But gay serial killer? He's a gay he, he is gay.
• 1:48:34
  He's a serial killer. Why doesn't him being gay have
• 1:48:37
  to do anything with it? It's just like a feature.
• 1:48:39
  It's a main feature of the show. OK, but anyway.
• 1:48:43
  Is serial killer also a main feature?
• 1:48:45
  Why can you just call him a gay guy?
• 1:48:47
  It describes it better if I just say serial killer.
• 1:48:50
  You're going to be Dumber, but anyway.
• 1:48:52
  Dahmer was gay. Dahmer was a gay serial killer.
• 1:48:56
  That would have described it perfectly.
• 1:48:58
  No, this dude. Anyway, John, you're throwing me
• 1:49:01
  off the. Rails, I'm sorry.
• 1:49:02
  Anyway, he, he embezzles all this money and he does all this
• 1:49:06
  stuff, extorts people and it's like, this is like on that
• 1:49:10
  level. Can you imagine like pet fraud,
• 1:49:12
  who's ever committed pet fraud, pet insurance fraud number one
• 1:49:16
  and then takes, takes credit card, puts credit cards in other
• 1:49:20
  people's names, I heard. That somebody messaged me about
• 1:49:23
  that. Yeah, $500,000 loan that you
• 1:49:27
  just. Bounce on I want to who this
• 1:49:30
  RYTYI don't know who righty RYTY funding is that gave this dude a
• 1:49:34
  loan first. Of all, when I read that I was
• 1:49:37
  like that sounds sketchy. Who just like I want to know how
• 1:49:41
  he got the loan backed because you have to prove some sort of
• 1:49:44
  like you have he personally guaranteed the $500,000 loan
• 1:49:48
  like but what assets were backing a $500,000 loan that's.
• 1:49:52
  Obviously, $80,000 of pet insurance money.
• 1:49:55
  Right. You can't just walk into a bank
• 1:49:57
  and be like, hey, I want $500,000.
• 1:49:59
  They're like, OK, no, like they're so like, if this goes
• 1:50:04
  way deeper, I'm not going to be surprised.
• 1:50:06
  Like this is one of the it's not cool.
• 1:50:09
  It freaking sucks but it's like it's cool in the Netflix serial
• 1:50:14
  killer documentary type of things.
• 1:50:16
  Like gay serial killer. Gay serial killer documentary.
• 1:50:19
  I mean, it's it. I get, you know, a lot of people
• 1:50:23
  like to watch that stuff. It's addicting.
• 1:50:25
  It's hard. Listen the Dahmer, I ate up the
• 1:50:28
  Dahmer series. Not like him eating people but
• 1:50:30
  like I was watching it I could not get.
• 1:50:32
  Off ate up the other dudes. Like like like I watch all 10
• 1:50:37
  episodes like a two days. Like I get it, people like to
• 1:50:40
  watch that stuff. You're saying y'all thought this
• 1:50:43
  dude was sketchy? They couldn't didn't know how
• 1:50:47
  you just had a bad feeling about him.
• 1:50:48
  Turns out he is sketchy and now you're enjoying for me.
• 1:50:53
  What you thought? Can I talk about that SMID?
• 1:50:55
  Can I talk about that? Yeah.
• 1:50:58
  Do you want you want? You want me to talk about it
• 1:51:00
  instead? Just like no.
• 1:51:03
  I was. Months ago.
• 1:51:05
  Yeah, I was suspicious about this.
• 1:51:08
  They were, they didn't like them and I didn't really didn't know
• 1:51:10
  what was happening. I didn't know I was like.
• 1:51:12
  I don't understand why. You're I was like, I don't
• 1:51:14
  really care. They're this guy.
• 1:51:16
  They don't like he's in reps ahead.
• 1:51:18
  They think he's weird, Ben. Texts me and says, hey, do you
• 1:51:22
  know how to look into non non profit orgs?
• 1:51:27
  And I was like, yeah, 'cause like I'm an accountant.
• 1:51:29
  So like I've done my fair share doing that.
• 1:51:32
  So we start looking into like Colorado Secretary of State and
• 1:51:35
  all these different things. And I was, I found like 18
• 1:51:39
  different LLCS and I was like, and then not.
• 1:51:42
  So it's like if you have a bunch of LLCS, it's not really a big
• 1:51:45
  deal, but it's when you switch the names of them, they're all
• 1:51:48
  kind of name like something similar.
• 1:51:50
  And then like the turnover on the, the accounts are all like
• 1:51:54
  super quick. That does feel that something's
• 1:51:56
  going. That's so.
• 1:51:57
  Red herring. Is yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 1:51:59
  Or not red. Herring.
• 1:52:00
  It was like a smoking gun. We need CrossFit, Elon Musk to
• 1:52:03
  investigate what's going on here, because that's because we.
• 1:52:07
  Weren't we talking about like doing a little bit of stuff with
• 1:52:11
  reps ahead at that time and we were kind of flirting with that
• 1:52:14
  idea. We weren't flirting with us
• 1:52:16
  doing it. We were just talk.
• 1:52:18
  We knew of these people. Yeah, we.
• 1:52:20
  Hadn't done like Hitler was doing it.
• 1:52:22
  We're, you know, we're. We were investigating.
• 1:52:24
  Doing it right, Yeah, Yeah. And so it's like, yeah, Spin was
• 1:52:30
  doing his homework and I was like, no, something weird is
• 1:52:32
  going on here. So yeah, this one was like, this
• 1:52:36
  was a big like, yeah, it. Got ladies and gentlemen, we
• 1:52:41
  got, Yeah. Yeah, it was just weird because
• 1:52:44
  like I didn't understand how reps the head because Renovo was
• 1:52:50
  the main sponsor, right? And they're paying out 10,
• 1:52:54
  twenty, $30,000 of prize money at these things, plus flying
• 1:52:59
  people all over the place to compete.
• 1:53:01
  They're covering all their logic, their airfare, they're
• 1:53:04
  flying, you know, Brian and Bella in PC in Chad was flown in
• 1:53:10
  like they were flying tons of people for all this stuff.
• 1:53:13
  And I was like, what the heck is Renovo?
• 1:53:15
  And like, you know, they're not getting money back.
• 1:53:19
  They're live. Streaming with a ton of money,
• 1:53:22
  man, Just giving money to everybody left and right.
• 1:53:24
  I don't know how they got money, but they just have a ton.
• 1:53:26
  Kind of like some other company that's doing some fitness thing.
• 1:53:29
  I don't, I don't same thing. But it was like, what else?
• 1:53:34
  Go ahead. It was just like how is this
• 1:53:37
  like what is the end game? Like how much money do you have?
• 1:53:40
  Like why would this company be doing it?
• 1:53:42
  I didn't understand all the ownership.
• 1:53:43
  Prison. Stuff It sounds like the Renovo
• 1:53:48
  guy wanted to buy into Repsat. I don't think they ever did, but
• 1:53:54
  yeah, it's like basically it was built on a House of Cards and it
• 1:53:56
  all failed like. Fell in the House of Cards.
• 1:54:00
  And like, yeah, to Tyler's point, it's like, it's great
• 1:54:04
  being right. Like you just knew it.
• 1:54:07
  I couldn't. Like I didn't have enough to be
• 1:54:09
  able to say like there's something sketchy going on from
• 1:54:11
  a public, like from a writing, from writing something like an
• 1:54:14
  article at that time. But ever since January, where
• 1:54:18
  they didn't, he should. Have wrote it out Oh, you should
• 1:54:20
  have wrote an article dude, Renovo guy.
• 1:54:23
  I don't know why you sketched it, but he's he's.
• 1:54:27
  Was it Christmas or something? You and I were on the phone.
• 1:54:29
  I was like at a gas station and you like you had just found out.
• 1:54:33
  Like when, when, when this originally all started to fall
• 1:54:36
  apart. You had found out and you were
• 1:54:38
  on the phone. And I like I hadn't been that
• 1:54:40
  excited in so long. He was telling me about it.
• 1:54:44
  It was amazing. I really feel bad for the reps
• 1:54:47
  ahead dude, because from what I understand, like he's tried to
• 1:54:50
  take care of the people that he they were, they were, they were
• 1:54:53
  due out to. And I, you know, I think he just
• 1:54:57
  got it sucks because like even in my experience with heat one,
• 1:55:02
  like people will blow you up and make you think like, Oh, you
• 1:55:05
  know, you definitely got a bad a great thing going.
• 1:55:08
  And then they'll they'll act like they're going to give you
• 1:55:10
  all the stuff and then they'll like just like that, it'll all
• 1:55:13
  your promises will just melt away.
• 1:55:14
  And this guy was in deep with that and it fuck, it just
• 1:55:18
  fucking blows. Like I feel really bad for that
• 1:55:20
  dude. Is this idea like has some good
• 1:55:23
  qualities to it? It can't.
• 1:55:25
  Come come out like he can't get in trouble for it though, right?
• 1:55:29
  Just the Renovo. No like this.
• 1:55:32
  This big $500,000 loan was through this New U Nutrition,
• 1:55:36
  New U Crew Nutrition and Fitness LLC.
• 1:55:39
  It had nothing to do with Reps Ahead.
• 1:55:41
  My understanding is that the Renovo got a smile and, you
• 1:55:45
  know, wanted to buy into reps ahead, but it never ended up
• 1:55:48
  actually happening, which is probably thankful for.
• 1:55:52
  I can't remember what the guy's name is.
• 1:55:56
  Like, he dodged a bullet because he probably would have been
• 1:55:59
  implicated in a lot of this stuff.
• 1:56:00
  Like, yeah, you know, who knows if they would have gone after
• 1:56:05
  anything that that company had or what he had had had.
• 1:56:08
  So as far as I know, everybody's been paid that worked for him at
• 1:56:13
  least, or competed. Yeah, I have.
• 1:56:18
  I have, you know, they they're a huge sponsor for Wadapalooza.
• 1:56:24
  Like I don't know how that if that's done.
• 1:56:27
  Weren't there rumors? Isn't weren't there rumors about
• 1:56:30
  a doc that they paid for? I had heard something, but I
• 1:56:33
  have not gotten any got anything more clarification on it or, or
• 1:56:37
  how that worked? Yeah, Phil.
• 1:56:40
  Phil is the guy he brought kipping a reel out there.
• 1:56:44
  I'm pretty sure Hitler got paid. I'm pretty sure everybody got
• 1:56:46
  paid. It's just.
• 1:56:48
  Out of pocket. Bill had to cover it right
• 1:56:51
  because he had made promises and this Michael dude left him high
• 1:56:55
  and dry. So crazy story.
• 1:56:57
  Check it out if you haven't already.
• 1:56:58
  Dudes, I wish we had a documentary on it.
• 1:57:01
  I mean it's. It would be one that, if you
• 1:57:03
  did, could follow up like it's. It was not so great to tell it,
• 1:57:07
  though. Hiller.
• 1:57:10
  Hiller, go go do that. Yeah.
• 1:57:13
  Sounds like there's a documentary coming out tomorrow.
• 1:57:18
  On Hopper. On Hoppers, is that coming?
• 1:57:20
  Out hoppers out now is. It No, no, no.
• 1:57:23
  I think like day in the life. I think you did a short video.
• 1:57:27
  Yeah, I think there's an hour long.
• 1:57:28
  Video I was watching. Oh, if it's an hour, then yeah,
• 1:57:31
  that's a long time. It's going out sometime.
• 1:57:34
  It might be out, I don't know, maybe, maybe not.
• 1:57:38
  Either way, Mayhem Classic. This Saturday the 1st 4
• 1:57:43
  athletes, two men, two women will get punched their ticket to
• 1:57:45
  the CrossFit Games. John thinks it's going to be
• 1:57:48
  Hatfield, Hopper, Raptis and Sigafi.
• 1:57:52
  We'll see how close he is. I will be there.
• 1:57:54
  If you're there in Mayhem, come say hi.
• 1:57:57
  Tyler may or may not be. If he can drive that far and his
• 1:57:59
  car makes, it doesn't fall apart.
• 1:58:03
  I'll be there. Real quick, who, who do you guys
• 1:58:06
  think for your, your, if you had to pick you too?
• 1:58:09
  I've spent. I know you said, I know you said
• 1:58:11
  Hopper and Hatfield on Peter's show.
• 1:58:14
  Yeah, I'm gonna watch that. Go watch that.
• 1:58:17
  Then Paige Samenza and wrapped this.
• 1:58:19
  Oh wow. Taking a stab at Paige.
• 1:58:22
  OK, you didn't really fight for very hard in this show.
• 1:58:26
  What Paige? Yeah.
• 1:58:28
  I don't think it's guaranteed. Like, again, I think that second
• 1:58:34
  spot for the women, I think all of those women are going to have
• 1:58:40
  a bad event. Right.
• 1:58:44
  Who has? Who has the worst like Emily
• 1:58:47
  Rolf is going to have the worst. Snatch, Heavy, Isabel.
• 1:58:54
  But like if it's 5th place it's not bad enough.
• 1:58:56
  So good I don't think. I mean, she took 29th at the.
• 1:58:59
  Well, I'm I'm saying like like but that for her to make top 2
• 1:59:03
  like if it's 8th place then you know right like.
• 1:59:05
  Yeah, so like again, like if she takes 12th or 13th place and Phi
• 1:59:09
  takes 10th place and Domit takes 8th place, like where they where
• 1:59:17
  they flip and have their own bad events later, how does that
• 1:59:20
  shake out? I don't know.
• 1:59:21
  Like I think Paige has the best chance of being the most
• 1:59:26
  consistent. See, like, you know where I I
• 1:59:30
  think Phi, I think that's Phi. Maybe.
• 1:59:34
  I mean, if she's, if she is as strong, getting as strong as she
• 1:59:37
  says she does and feels confident in Isabel, then I,
• 1:59:42
  yeah, I, I think she is definitely needs to.
• 1:59:47
  Be if not I'm I'm blaming Dowling for that pick.
• 1:59:50
  All right, confirmed with them. All right, go ahead, Tyler, you.
• 1:59:56
  Alexis and Delman. OK.
• 1:59:59
  And then easy crowd fix there. The men's side, it's tough,
• 2:00:04
  dude. It's I, I'm going to go Austin.
• 2:00:08
  The other one it that that second pick is so hard like I
• 2:00:12
  want to say. Colton, I want to say hop.
• 2:00:14
  It could be. It could be any five of them.
• 2:00:15
  I know no other way. It's talking about Roman.
• 2:00:17
  Roman absolutely could get one of these two.
• 2:00:19
  He absolutely can. I no, it could be any of them.
• 2:00:23
  I think the second spot for the women and the both the spots for
• 2:00:27
  the men are in the same boat where it could be any of these
• 2:00:31
  five people. I'll tell you what TuneIn on
• 2:00:34
  Saturday on Spin's Stories and I'll take a look at all the
• 2:00:39
  athletes. I'll walk through the the venue
• 2:00:41
  and I'll be like. There, there, there you go.
• 2:00:45
  That's your news. As he looks up at Jason, he'll
• 2:00:48
  be like, yeah, I forgot. I forgot the angle of my head
• 2:00:53
  when I looked at you. And that's a yeah, you know,
• 2:00:55
  he's the guy. Spin.
• 2:00:57
  Are we doing? Are we doing spin stream?
• 2:01:01
  Spin cast. No, because I'll be there.
• 2:01:03
  It's a little hard to do it while I'm there.
• 2:01:05
  All right. So I guess I'm on with Seven,
• 2:01:06
  then I guess me and Seven are doing that thing.
• 2:01:08
  Yeah. But I, I mean, yes, but I don't
• 2:01:11
  know how you'll do. I don't know what the schedule
• 2:01:12
  will be. I've heard it's to be quick
• 2:01:16
  turnarounds on all of them. That's why I think it's still 6
• 2:01:19
  events. I still think it's 3:00 and 3:00
• 2:01:20
  because I just don't think. I would like.
• 2:01:23
  I would like 5. Hours for the for that the run
• 2:01:25
  is going to take. I think Hepner did it in 20
• 2:01:29
  minutes. So time cap is at most 30 at
• 2:01:33
  most so. I think Time Gap's 25 on that
• 2:01:37
  one. Yeah, I don't.
• 2:01:39
  OK, 25 or 30, that's still an hour.
• 2:01:41
  You could probably run all 20 at once.
• 2:01:43
  Isabel kind of sucks that that Hatfield got to do it already.
• 2:01:50
  What do you mean? Well, because he's there, I know
• 2:01:52
  he's there. It's like that's a little bit of
• 2:01:54
  an advantage. Hepner did it, not Hatfield.
• 2:01:56
  Hepner. Did it.
• 2:01:57
  Hepner did it. So they wouldn't let that that's
• 2:02:01
  too much like they wouldn't, they wouldn't let.
• 2:02:03
  That the Mayhem podcast, they're, they don't even know
• 2:02:05
  where they're running. It's like Roman's, like Roman's
• 2:02:10
  been asking like questions constantly.
• 2:02:11
  And I guess apparently like we're not telling you.
• 2:02:14
  He just goes. People that are there don't know
• 2:02:16
  where they're going to like the course so.
• 2:02:19
  It's a mystery. To everyone, yeah.
• 2:02:22
  So yeah, I again like Isabel, does not take long unless you
• 2:02:28
  unless you do, even if you do 5 or 4.
• 2:02:32
  Heats about a 10 minute cap. Yeah, so like that's at most an
• 2:02:37
  hour and a half and you got even if you did 2 heats and it took
• 2:02:41
  two hours for the first event, you still got time to do another
• 2:02:46
  one. Like I really think it's going
• 2:02:48
  to be like a big one for 20 minutes, 20 minutes or 3030.
• 2:02:53
  And then the women start right back up and do heavy Isabel, you
• 2:02:56
  get a 30 minute break, right? And now we're we're 2 1/2, three
• 2:03:01
  hours in. You got 2 hours to do another
• 2:03:03
  event. Like, it just doesn't make sense
• 2:03:07
  that they'd only do 2 events in five hours if they're trying to
• 2:03:10
  be a fast, quick turn around. Yeah.
• 2:03:12
  Right. Yeah, we'll be there a good
• 2:03:18
  time. Well I'll be on whoever's doing
• 2:03:21
  it something if if y'all decide to go live after the after the
• 2:03:25
  event. So we do like 1 nightly.
• 2:03:26
  Or something. We may do something after the
• 2:03:28
  after the night, at least after Saturday.
• 2:03:32
  I'll try to make myself available.
• 2:03:34
  Sounds good. See what I can fit in my
• 2:03:38
  schedule, you know? Yeah, in between all your other
• 2:03:44
  shows. All right, guys, we'll see you
• 2:03:46
  guys next week. Like subscribe, follow, do all
• 2:03:49
  that stuff, leave comments. We'll answer those next week.
• 2:03:52
