- 2:34Yes,
- 2:34it has been one of those weeks from
- 2:36hell that didn't kill me yet and hopefully
- 2:41will make me stronger.
- 2:44So, yeah, I am.
- 2:47God, I'm so glad this week is over.
- 2:50Been running a UAT testing that has not
- 2:53gone smoothly and just ready for the last
- 2:57four hours of my day to be done
- 2:59after I get to have fun with you
- 3:01all.
- 3:07So what do we want to talk about
- 3:09first?
- 3:11It's going to be a crazy weekend for
- 3:13me.
- 3:13Crazy weekend.
- 3:14We got Torium Pro going on.
- 3:16We got Rebel Renegade games going on.
- 3:21I'm a big F one fan.
- 3:22Now I,
- 3:23you guys have probably heard me on the
- 3:24show.
- 3:24Talk about watching drive to survive.
- 3:28I binge watched that whole thing.
- 3:29Now I I'm into F one and they
- 3:33are in Montreal this weekend.
- 3:35Um, so I'm stoked to see that.
- 3:39Um, in fact, I just,
- 3:43I just completed a Lego set of every,
- 3:48every F one car.
- 3:50on the grid.
- 3:52And I'll probably post some stuff on my
- 3:55personal Instagram this weekend about it.
- 3:57But yeah,
- 3:59it's been a labor of love for the
- 4:00last couple months, but yeah, pretty cool.
- 4:06Sean asks, what's worse,
- 4:08testing IT networks or Turkish get-ups?
- 4:11I would rather do a Turkish get-up with...
- 4:15an assault bike like Braun did than keep
- 4:19testing IT networks.
- 4:21However,
- 4:22the testing the IT networks pays me,
- 4:27but it's still close, still close.
- 4:32I mean,
- 4:33do you remember doing your first Turkish
- 4:34get up in CrossFit?
- 4:36Like it was the most unorthodox,
- 4:41unorthodox movements ever.
- 4:44Trying to get up while holding a weight
- 4:46above you was so counterintuitive to me.
- 4:52Now again, when I started CrossFit,
- 4:54I was a very large human being.
- 4:57I was over five hundred pounds.
- 5:00Getting up off the floor was a chore.
- 5:02Now you're asking me to do it with
- 5:04a kettlebell in my hand?
- 5:10Yeah,
- 5:12it took a while to kind of get
- 5:14that enough mobility in my hips,
- 5:18in my knees,
- 5:19in my torso to even complete a Turkish
- 5:25getup.
- 5:27It is... And now,
- 5:30once you kind of get it, like, okay,
- 5:33you get kind of the swing of it.
- 5:36And if you're like Jody and you do
- 5:37one every single week...
- 5:39It never leaves you.
- 5:44But to swing that leg like through and
- 5:47under, if you don't have the mobility,
- 5:50man, it is a no-go.
- 5:56Sean says Turkish get-ups are probably my
- 5:57least favorite CrossFit movement.
- 6:00I wouldn't put it there.
- 6:02I wouldn't put it there.
- 6:05And mine has varied over time for sure.
- 6:12I mean, the bigger I was,
- 6:14burpees really were terrible.
- 6:16Runs were terrible.
- 6:18Then I got to a point where I
- 6:20realized if I could just master those
- 6:26movements...
- 6:28then my workouts went so much better
- 6:30mentally for me.
- 6:32I still wasn't maybe the fastest burpier
- 6:34or the fastest runner,
- 6:36but like I understood the concept of like
- 6:40just letting it be.
- 6:42Just because you're, especially a run,
- 6:46like going out on a run in the
- 6:47middle of a workout can be like a
- 6:50Zen moment that just kind of,
- 6:55clears everything um so i i'm probably i'm
- 7:04probably with leto wall walks may be the
- 7:09worst movement in crossfit um
- 7:19Seema's having major problems.
- 7:21They had penetration testing this week.
- 7:23They found a hole.
- 7:25We tried to block it.
- 7:26Now we're in an infinite loop and have
- 7:28to reinstall.
- 7:31That just sounds horrific.
- 7:36She'd rather do a hundred Turkish getups
- 7:38with a thirty-five than testing.
- 7:44Shanna loves wall walks.
- 7:46Yeah, I'm trying to think like
- 7:53I might, I don't, yeah.
- 7:56Box jumps are probably,
- 7:59I have damaged my legs so many times
- 8:01on box jumps.
- 8:04It seems simple,
- 8:05but like I just screw them up too
- 8:08often.
- 8:18Thrusters are worse for Frida.
- 8:20Yeah.
- 8:23Um,
- 8:25burpee box jump overs are the worst as
- 8:27trained.
- 8:28Yeah.
- 8:28I don't even the BR yeah.
- 8:30Yeah.
- 8:32No one loves it until something breaks.
- 8:36True.
- 8:37But I'm the guy that finds the break.
- 8:39I'm the guy who breaks it, Joseph.
- 8:43So Judy's a wall walk fan, man.
- 8:48There's something wrong with you people.
- 8:54Shannon also likes pistols and GHDs.
- 8:59I used to love GHDs.
- 9:02I probably don't today because I have not
- 9:04done one in a while.
- 9:07But I used to I used to love
- 9:08them.
- 9:09I felt so accomplished when I did one.
- 9:17so anyway off off to the side on
- 9:22that uh but the big thing the big
- 9:25finish of my weekend is this is my
- 9:27wedding anniversary weekend so sunday uh i
- 9:32will be celebrating twenty nine years
- 9:36married to the same woman pretty pretty
- 9:40damn impressive in this day and age
- 9:44And we dated for like four and a
- 9:46half years before that.
- 9:47So yeah,
- 9:49thirty three and a half years with the
- 9:51same woman.
- 9:58So, yeah,
- 9:59we are going out to a Creole restaurant
- 10:03on Sunday for our anniversary and we're
- 10:08I guess that's in honor of Corey hitting
- 10:11up the Cajun food on Sunday.
- 10:14We're going there for brunch for our
- 10:16anniversary and whatever else kind of hits
- 10:18us.
- 10:19But yeah,
- 10:21thank you everybody for the
- 10:22congratulations.
- 10:27Uh, twenty nine years.
- 10:28What's the secret?
- 10:33Open communication.
- 10:36Sometimes it's loud, sometimes it's soft,
- 10:39but it's always frequent.
- 10:43And because of that,
- 10:45we both know where each other stand on
- 10:47just about everything.
- 10:50And as we get older, it's less loud,
- 10:53more quiet, and really just, gosh,
- 11:00she's the person I want to be with
- 11:01all the time.
- 11:07So our friends used to make fun of
- 11:11us for fighting all the time when we
- 11:13were younger,
- 11:14but at least I knew how she felt
- 11:17about everything.
- 11:18There's nothing wrong with fighting.
- 11:21It's just how it's communication, man.
- 11:25And how you look at it,
- 11:26how you take it, how you listen,
- 11:29all those things just kind of
- 11:33And now we fight way less and we
- 11:35just kind of hang out and there's nobody
- 11:37I want to hang out with more than
- 11:38her.
- 11:43Did you set a reminder?
- 11:44Did she tell you it was this weekend?
- 11:45I knew it was this weekend.
- 11:47I already have a gift and everything cows
- 11:49and CrossFit.
- 11:52So yeah.
- 11:53And I made the dinner reservation or the
- 11:54brunch reservations.
- 11:56So yep.
- 11:58All that is in the bag.
- 11:59Didn't even need a reminder.
- 12:03Jay Birch going for thirty-two.
- 12:06Nice.
- 12:09Yep, next one's a big one.
- 12:10We gotta figure out something for that
- 12:11thirtieth, but yeah.
- 12:17So, alright.
- 12:19What do we got going on?
- 12:22So, I have a couple leaderboards up.
- 12:25If you guys missed the overnight action at
- 12:28Torian, here is the leaderboard.
- 12:35They did the ruck run was event one.
- 12:38They did the regional redo,
- 12:42which was fifteen muscle-ups into a snatch
- 12:46ladder for event two.
- 12:48And big surprises on the female
- 12:50leaderboard.
- 12:52Ellie Turner is in first place.
- 12:56She won the ruck run.
- 12:59She took fifth in the muscle-up snatch
- 13:01ladder.
- 13:02And she is your overall leader.
- 13:05by thirty two points already stephanie
- 13:10collins is in second isabella viejo is in
- 13:14third and maddie sturt is down in fifth
- 13:19kyra milligan is in sixth and um gracie
- 13:29walton had a there she is she's in
- 13:32fourteenth place
- 13:35She had a very bad thirty fourth place
- 13:38finish on event one.
- 13:39And she is going to have to hustle
- 13:41to make up ground to get into that
- 13:43top three.
- 13:48Yeah, Ellie is crushing Torian.
- 13:52I think that's a huge surprise.
- 13:56We haven't seen her for a long time
- 13:57because of the back injury.
- 13:59She didn't perform at a level at
- 14:02Wadapalooza that would make you put her up
- 14:05into the top echelon.
- 14:07But dang, she is crushing it right now.
- 14:10And to crush a ruck run that is
- 14:13not typically in her wheelhouse is pretty
- 14:17amazing.
- 14:24Can someone remind me,
- 14:26didn't Ellie have a bad quarterfinals and
- 14:28was like six hundred something?
- 14:30How did she get to semifinals?
- 14:35She did finish six hundred something.
- 14:37I believe she got a special invite.
- 14:39It may be why Justin is in Australia
- 14:44by getting him there.
- 14:45They let her in.
- 14:46There's a lot of conversation about that.
- 14:50But who knows?
- 14:54So, yeah.
- 14:56So that is on the women's side.
- 14:58The men's side is much more predictable as
- 15:02we have Ricky Garrard in first,
- 15:05Jay Crouch in second,
- 15:07Justin Medeiros in third,
- 15:09and Bailey Martin in fourth.
- 15:12All are starting off pretty well.
- 15:15Ricky with a first and a third.
- 15:17Jay Crouch with a third and a first.
- 15:20No, third and eleventh.
- 15:22And Justin Medeiros with a tenth and a
- 15:24fourth.
- 15:26Bailey Martin, a fifteenth and a second.
- 15:30So they are doing,
- 15:32it's the four we suspected to be at
- 15:35the top.
- 15:40I think this is going to be a
- 15:40tight race all weekend long.
- 15:49Special invite for Toriania, I believe so,
- 15:51Lito.
- 15:57So Jay Burch says,
- 15:58so would six hundred qualify for semis?
- 16:00So if you're in the top two thousand,
- 16:02you qualified for semis.
- 16:03Now,
- 16:04whether you got the invite to the semi,
- 16:07that was up to.
- 16:09That was up to the actual event.
- 16:15But I really enjoyed event two in Torian,
- 16:20the muscle up snatch ladder.
- 16:22It's a super quick under six minute event.
- 16:27It's been around.
- 16:28It's been used in regionals a couple times
- 16:31before it went to semis.
- 16:33It was used there a couple times,
- 16:35and it's just a fun race.
- 16:38It's easy to watch the story.
- 16:40It's easy to follow,
- 16:42and you get those exciting misses or makes
- 16:44at the end of the snatch ladder.
- 16:46It was really fun to watch today.
- 16:49I watched that this morning when I woke
- 16:50up and really, really enjoyed it.
- 17:04Those kettlebell deadlifts in the final
- 17:05workout could catch Ellie.
- 17:09I thought that this event today,
- 17:12the muscle-up snatch ladder with the kip
- 17:15she needed for the muscle-up and the
- 17:18snatch being heavy at the end would have
- 17:20been a big test for her back,
- 17:22but she seemed to pass that with flying
- 17:23colors.
- 17:24She went longer on the muscle-ups without
- 17:27a break than most of the field other
- 17:29than Kyra, I believe.
- 17:31So she looked really good, really good.
- 17:44if Torian for Torian,
- 17:46you had to put in your quarterfinal scores
- 17:47on competition corner to qualify.
- 17:49So she clearly wouldn't have made it in
- 17:51that way.
- 17:52And then she got a special invite.
- 17:58I don't love that.
- 17:59I,
- 18:01I don't like the inconsistency across all
- 18:03the events, the way it is structured.
- 18:06Now events can do what they want to
- 18:09do.
- 18:10And
- 18:12Um, that just is ridiculous to me.
- 18:17So then, um, overnight we also had, uh,
- 18:26the rebel renegade games.
- 18:29Um, that is here.
- 18:32so this is a much harder to read
- 18:34i'm going to try to blow it up
- 18:36this is the women's leaderboard you have
- 18:39var thurman ramo in first place you have
- 18:43hannah black in second they are about six
- 18:47points apart
- 18:50And that is after three events.
- 18:52Now this event has nine events.
- 18:54So this is going to be a much
- 18:56longer race.
- 18:58The biggest surprise in this one is
- 19:01Matilde Garnes is all the way down in
- 19:04ninth.
- 19:05She took a twenty seventh place on the
- 19:08second workout.
- 19:11I see Lito says Matilde looks like she's
- 19:14out.
- 19:16the only reason I give her a chance
- 19:19is because it's nine events.
- 19:22If this was a six event semifinal,
- 19:25I don't think she makes it.
- 19:29The other thing is,
- 19:30I don't know if there's enough talent to
- 19:32middle for her to make up enough ground,
- 19:36even with the nine events,
- 19:38it's going to be,
- 19:39it's going to be a hard,
- 19:40hard battle to get back up there.
- 19:50Frida says,
- 19:51I think she aggravated her neck during
- 19:53event two.
- 19:54It's a shame.
- 20:02Cows and CrossFit.
- 20:02Serious question, Lito.
- 20:03Why don't you like it?
- 20:04Is it because one through five ninety nine
- 20:07should be able to do in person or
- 20:09because she isn't good enough to be there?
- 20:13Well,
- 20:13I can tell you why I don't like
- 20:14it.
- 20:14Cows and CrossFit.
- 20:15And that is because if you're judging a
- 20:18person on this season,
- 20:21their performance this season should be
- 20:24what advances you to the next round.
- 20:28Finishing six hundredth during this season
- 20:31in the quarterfinals should not be good
- 20:34enough to take you to a semifinal in
- 20:36person.
- 20:38It should not.
- 20:41I think that these special invites and
- 20:45inviting people based on last year is
- 20:49contradictory to everything I have learned
- 20:51about sport.
- 20:58She is in first, though.
- 21:00Sure, she's in first,
- 21:02but it doesn't mean that the season
- 21:03structure makes sense.
- 21:07It's like when...
- 21:11It would be like inviting all the
- 21:14basketball teams to the NCAA tournament,
- 21:17and because a couple of the lower seeds
- 21:21make some upsets in the first couple
- 21:23rounds, that justifies the call.
- 21:27Anybody can win on any given day,
- 21:30but to win the season,
- 21:31to win the fittest on earth,
- 21:33you need to be good throughout the season.
- 21:39to finish six hundred is is not good
- 21:42enough to go to an in-person semi,
- 21:44in my opinion.
- 21:49However,
- 21:50it's the way it's set up this year.
- 21:52She's not doing anything wrong or illegal.
- 21:55And if she wins,
- 21:57she gets to move on.
- 21:58Just because I don't like it doesn't mean
- 22:00that I think that she is wrong for
- 22:02doing it.
- 22:04She's entitled because that's what the
- 22:06season allows.
- 22:09Um,
- 22:11but it doesn't mean I have to like
- 22:12it.
- 22:22So people need to give better effort on
- 22:24every stage.
- 22:24I agree with that.
- 22:26Yes.
- 22:28I think part of the definition of being
- 22:30the fittest on earth is to be healthy
- 22:32enough to make it through the season at
- 22:34all levels and do what is needed.
- 22:51So anyway, that is that.
- 22:54We also have the men.
- 22:56It looks like a two-horse race on the
- 22:58men's side.
- 23:00I didn't mean to close that down before
- 23:02we shared it.
- 23:06Got to find, there we go.
- 23:12On the men's side,
- 23:12we have Ben Fowler in first with two
- 23:16firsts and a second.
- 23:18Ruan Potgeiter is in second with a third,
- 23:21a fifth, and a first.
- 23:23It is a fifteen-point differential at this
- 23:26point.
- 23:28Again,
- 23:28this is going to be another one of
- 23:29those things in this field.
- 23:33Are there going to be enough middlers for
- 23:35Ruan to get past Ben Fowler?
- 23:37That's going to be a tough question.
- 23:41tough road for him.
- 23:46But I hope it comes down to something
- 23:47exciting.
- 23:53So that's what we've had going on
- 23:55overnight.
- 23:56Again, touring picks up tonight again.
- 24:00And we'll go overnight again.
- 24:03If you want to follow that they are
- 24:04on the tier YouTube channel.
- 24:10And you can follow that there.
- 24:14So one of the things that's happening this
- 24:16weekend, if you have not been watching,
- 24:18is the Grid League is back.
- 24:20Grid League will be on YouTube this
- 24:22weekend live.
- 24:24If you haven't gotten enough CrossFit or
- 24:27you don't want to do the nighttime
- 24:28CrossFit during the day tomorrow,
- 24:31you'll have Grid League options available
- 24:33to you.
- 24:36And I bring that up because...
- 24:39We're sponsoring an athlete this year.
- 24:41Clydesdale Media is sponsoring Lauren
- 24:43Olson.
- 24:44She's on the Houston Bandits.
- 24:47She's been a listener for a very,
- 24:49very long time and so stoked to see
- 24:56her go, do her thing,
- 24:59and can't wait to see Houston take the
- 25:03floor, see our logo on her jersey.
- 25:06It's going to be so much fun.
- 25:10and um the the coolest thing about grid
- 25:16is it starts and ends in a little
- 25:18over an hour it's all done all done
- 25:23and so if you want a quick jump
- 25:26into something cross-fitty go check it out
- 25:31so um
- 25:36There's some big names competing in it
- 25:38this year, former games athletes.
- 25:42It's worth a watch.
- 25:43The broadcast is usually really well done.
- 25:46The broadcasters are funny.
- 25:48They're good.
- 25:49They're energetic.
- 25:51It's definitely some fun watching for
- 25:53sure.
- 25:57Speaking of leaderboards,
- 25:58they're absolutely hammering people in the
- 25:59age group online semis.
- 26:01Lito, quit looking at my notes.
- 26:04Quit looking at my notes.
- 26:09Jay Burch says,
- 26:09do not try and understand the standards.
- 26:11They are different.
- 26:12Yes.
- 26:13Yes, yes, yes.
- 26:15The standards are completely different for
- 26:17grid than they are for CrossFit.
- 26:20So, yes, do not even try to understand.
- 26:28And they have a challenge flag.
- 26:29That's the only thing that gets a little
- 26:31bit...
- 26:32is there's a lot of challenges in grid
- 26:35league and i wish they could speed up
- 26:37that process i think it would make it
- 26:39more watchable for sure uh clock yes grid
- 26:47has standards are just different than ours
- 26:52it's kind of like opinions everybody has
- 26:54them it's okay that they're different
- 27:02So anyway, that's going on this weekend.
- 27:07So yeah, let's talk about the age group,
- 27:10semifinal leaderboards getting dinged.
- 27:17I didn't even know that they had made
- 27:19changes to the leaderboard until I was
- 27:21watching CJ and Claire this morning on WOD
- 27:24prep.
- 27:25And they were talking about how some of
- 27:28CJ's athletes got dinged and their season
- 27:31is over.
- 27:33And then Lito is in the comments saying
- 27:36it is a bloodbath on the leaderboard.
- 27:41Regretfully,
- 27:41I can't memorize what the leaderboard was
- 27:43for all those divisions,
- 27:45but I did go and I looked and
- 27:47there is definitely,
- 27:49definitely a lot of people moving up and
- 27:54down the leaderboard throughout the
- 27:56divisions.
- 27:58It's not just the younger Masters athletes
- 28:02or the teens.
- 28:03It is all over.
- 28:07all over the leaderboard and um from plus
- 28:15down to to uh mark phillips says four
- 28:21of the top ten forty five to forty
- 28:23nine males are out of it wow amanda
- 28:30it's me i'm some
- 28:33I was wondering if you were the person
- 28:34that CJ was referring to because the
- 28:39person's name was Amanda.
- 28:41But I honestly don't know who you're
- 28:43coached by.
- 28:45So I didn't want to speculate too far.
- 28:48And I knew you were right on that.
- 28:50Fifteenth place line.
- 28:56Yeah, he was referring to me.
- 29:01Um, Oh, the teens are getting it too.
- 29:04Yes.
- 29:05Um,
- 29:05one of Jamie's athletes at her gym has
- 29:09moved for like four times,
- 29:13like four times.
- 29:15Um, and he's,
- 29:17he's actually moved up from the twenties
- 29:19to fourteenth, uh, in the teen division.
- 29:24So yeah, it's, it is all the divisions.
- 29:32Abby, good to see you here.
- 29:34It was terrifying.
- 29:35Relieved to have survived.
- 29:39Yeah.
- 29:41I know a lot of my friends...
- 29:44survived thank god um jamie got all five
- 29:48of hers accepted um kate curry who's in
- 29:51the chat a lot here got hers accepted
- 29:54um and for that to happen that's that
- 29:57is really good what i think is even
- 30:00better is that crossfit is doing this last
- 30:03year there was speculation that there was
- 30:05very little video review
- 30:08very little and cj mentioned that one of
- 30:13the events and it might have been you
- 30:14amanda had finished down towards the in
- 30:20your event and that one was reviewed so
- 30:29um shanna accepted all five awesome
- 30:33awesome
- 30:39Kate says, congratulations, Kate.
- 30:42One of the gals in my divisions mentioned
- 30:44she's still waiting for two video reviews
- 30:46while I've received all of mine.
- 30:53Andrew said, is this the public review?
- 30:55No,
- 30:56they are actually physically changing the
- 30:58leaderboard and emails are out with the
- 31:03video review being done saying whether
- 31:09Like Jamie has two different emails.
- 31:12One says it's because public review got so
- 31:17many positive votes,
- 31:18this has been accepted.
- 31:20Or, hey,
- 31:21we've taken another look at this and now
- 31:24we've accepted it.
- 31:25And I think there's a third one that
- 31:26says we've taken another look at this and
- 31:30you have been dinged and this is why
- 31:34you were dinged.
- 31:35These are the timestamps of where we
- 31:37dinged you.
- 31:44Um, some are weird though.
- 31:46Forty five to forty nine.
- 31:47Michael McCaslin got dinged for not
- 31:50clearly touching the tape line on rope
- 31:53climbs on video.
- 31:54Yet his two judges gave him the go.
- 31:56He touched the far side away from the
- 31:58camera.
- 32:01Yeah.
- 32:02Who knows?
- 32:07Lito got all five of them accepted to
- 32:09with actual video on the handstand push up
- 32:11one today.
- 32:16he got knocked out but is now back
- 32:17in thankfully it was crazy stressful says
- 32:22kate but i'm also glad they did a
- 32:25thorough review this year yeah it seems it
- 32:32seems like we're heading in a right
- 32:35direction with this and to be honest with
- 32:39the low turnout on some of the in-person
- 32:43semis
- 32:45If we're going back to an online semi,
- 32:49I'm glad they're moving back in this
- 32:50direction as well.
- 33:02Understand, okay,
- 33:03I've pretty much stopped doing video
- 33:05review.
- 33:06Hate doing it.
- 33:08Yeah,
- 33:08the public review closed from my
- 33:11understanding.
- 33:14I don't want to say because I'll probably
- 33:16say it wrong.
- 33:17But I thought it closed a little bit
- 33:19ago.
- 33:20And now they've actually been doing the
- 33:22video stuff.
- 33:25Abby says they're not playing this year.
- 33:27They counted ninety nine double unders on
- 33:28mine.
- 33:29I got a penalty.
- 33:30It's the right thing to do with only
- 33:32ten going to the games.
- 33:38Shana says, last Thursday, I think.
- 33:40Yeah, I thought it was last Friday,
- 33:41but I'll defer to you.
- 33:47But I'm so not sure that I'm not
- 33:50willing to fight on anything with that.
- 33:57You know what I am willing to fight
- 33:59for, though?
- 34:00My thirdsy.
- 34:01There's no better product to get me to
- 34:06sleep at night,

- 34:09fast as Thirdsy.

- 34:13off using code Jazzy at checkout.
- 34:16That is Thirdsy.com backslash Jazzy.
- 34:20Get you fifteen percent off your order.
- 34:22Thank you so much for supporting this and
- 34:25them.
- 34:25They are the best in the business,
- 34:27the best recovery tool out there.
- 34:36Alito is saying that not everybody got the
- 34:38same strict judging and Lito.
- 34:41The thing is,
- 34:41is you're going to get multiple people
- 34:43judging these and it's,
- 34:45so you're going to get different
- 34:46perspectives on all of it.
- 34:48Just like you do at an in-person
- 34:49competition,
- 34:51just like you do at a tennis match
- 34:54or an NFL game or whatever.
- 34:57The different judges are going to make
- 34:59different calls based on their perspective
- 35:01and what they believe the rule to be.
- 35:06As much as you try to make it
- 35:07hard,
- 35:08it is very open for interpretation in
- 35:12many, many cases.
- 35:15But she says, that's what I mean.
- 35:16Not everybody's getting the same strict
- 35:17judging.
- 35:18At least two people sitting at the top
- 35:20of my leaderboard did ninety six to ninety
- 35:22eight double unders with no penalties yet.
- 35:30So.
- 35:41Using an obstacle like the rig arm to
- 35:43block the view should be DQ'd.
- 35:46I know that was penalized at Proven last
- 35:48year when the rig obstructed the view of
- 35:51the athletes.
- 35:54So I know that that has been used
- 35:55in the past, Mark.
- 35:57Now,
- 35:57whether it was a DQ or a penalty,
- 35:59I don't remember.
- 36:00I think it was just a penalty,
- 36:02but that did happen last year in the
- 36:04elite division.
- 36:09shanna because she is so much a great
- 36:13athlete always does extra double under so
- 36:16she doesn't get busted andrew says no
- 36:31penalties invalidation need to be harsh to
- 36:34show you're serious
- 36:39Mark says Shanna has too much fitness.
- 36:41Yeah.
- 36:43If we could all be as fit as
- 36:46Shanna, the world would be a better place.
- 36:49For sure.
- 36:53But I find this like a really good
- 36:55step in the right direction,
- 36:57especially in the age groups.
- 37:00Hopefully they're going to do the same for
- 37:01the teams.
- 37:03If you remember last year,
- 37:04they did no video judging of the team
- 37:08competition.
- 37:09But we'll see what happens this year when
- 37:11that approaches.
- 37:15So with that,
- 37:20I don't have a whole lot more.
- 37:21I was going to share a couple of
- 37:22funnies that I had saved up on the
- 37:27Instagram.
- 37:29I don't know if you've seen this meme
- 37:30before, but this always cracks me up.
- 37:34Being a former javelin thrower myself,
- 37:37if you've not seen this,
- 37:55Can you imagine a javelin coming that
- 37:59close to you being chucked at ninety
- 38:02meters, ninety five meters?
- 38:04My goodness.
- 38:06When I was in high school,
- 38:07we had a kid literally get speared in
- 38:11the ass with a javelin.
- 38:14The women were throwing.
- 38:15He was walking away down the sideline of
- 38:20the javelin course and the javelin hit him
- 38:23right in the right cheek.
- 38:30Thank goodness it didn't penetrate too
- 38:31far,
- 38:32but stitches were involved the whole bit.
- 38:40Andrew Sten asked,
- 38:41do they do javelin in high school?
- 38:44You got to remember, Andrew,
- 38:45I went to school back when the cars
- 38:48were self-powered,
- 38:49the wheels were made of rocks, and yeah.
- 38:56We threw javelin as a sport and then
- 38:58went out and hunted buffalo with them.
- 39:11Did he get a new nickname?
- 39:12He did not.
- 39:14He did not.
- 39:15But he didn't sit down in class.
- 39:18He was probably the first person to ever
- 39:20use a standing desk.
- 39:26Back then it was called the bison throw.
- 39:32There you go.
- 39:41Yes,
- 39:41how many throw javelin and still pole
- 39:43vault?
- 39:44Yeah,
- 39:45we had people miss the pit in pole
- 39:47vault back then too.
- 39:50But we were a stronger generation, Judy.
- 39:52We were a stronger generation.
- 39:54We could handle that stuff and get back
- 39:56up and go again.
- 40:03Joseph says he would have hit the
- 40:04cameraman if he would have threw from the
- 40:06actual line.
- 40:07No shit.
- 40:10That's a hell of a throw.
- 40:16Hell of a throw.
- 40:19Rub some dirt on it and do it
- 40:20again.
- 40:21There you go.
- 40:22One of my best friends totally missed the
- 40:24pit on a pole vault.
- 40:27Got side wickered and kind of went at
- 40:30a forty five degree angle and right over
- 40:33the edge and off the side.
- 40:35And I think he got back up and
- 40:38pole vaulted again that day.
- 40:44Wayne says that he saw Adler and his
- 40:46wife broke one hour as a couple in
- 40:48High Rocks race.
- 40:49Caroline is sneaky fit.
- 40:51When I first met them,
- 40:53Caroline did waterpalooza on a team.
- 40:57She is really, really, really fit.
- 41:03Shannon says,
- 41:03would hate to run with Adler too fast
- 41:05for me.
- 41:09Cousin wants to know, side wickered.
- 41:12Oh my gosh,
- 41:12please tell me that I'm not.
- 41:15I mean, I am old.
- 41:16I'm old.
- 41:17That's what we say when you get off.
- 41:20Instead of straight, you go side wickered.
- 41:23It's side wickered.
- 41:29Frida says pole vault has to be the
- 41:31craziest sport.
- 41:32Who was the first guy to say,
- 41:35I need to get over this wall.
- 41:38If I take a bendy stick...
- 41:42And I run and I plant it.
- 41:45Maybe I can vault myself over the wall.
- 41:50And I believe Shanna tried pole vaulting.
- 41:54When I interviewed her at the twenty
- 41:56twenty four CrossFit Games,
- 41:59she told me she was going to go
- 42:00for the record in pole vaulting.
- 42:03I don't know how far she got with
- 42:05that.
- 42:08But I did see video of her attempting
- 42:12and learning.
- 42:14So pole vaulting is so fun, says Shanna.
- 42:21I imagine all these sports start with two
- 42:23idiot men saying, I bet you can't do.
- 42:27Mark, I think it probably started with,
- 42:29hey, hold my beer.
- 42:37First ever pole vault was either an
- 42:39accident or on a dare.
- 42:41It's like ski jumping.
- 42:43Like who said let's launch off this ramp
- 42:46down a mountainside and I'm sure the skis
- 42:49will keep us afloat.
- 42:54Shanna still does pole vaulting.
- 42:56She's working on it.
- 43:01A girl from our gym pole vaults at
- 43:02Mississippi State.
- 43:03She used to do some crazy stuff on
- 43:05the rings.
- 43:11Yeah.
- 43:13So,
- 43:14and then this is a sport I will
- 43:16never, ever, ever, ever do.
- 43:19And if I ever suggest doing it,
- 43:21someone hit me with a baseball bat.
- 43:27Have you seen running up?
- 43:29Now this is like a ski jump hill
- 43:32that these people jump and then slide
- 43:36down.
- 43:37Look how steep this thing gets, right?
- 43:42Look how slow these runs get.
- 43:48They have to put rope down so that
- 43:51they don't slide down.
- 43:53Look at that.
- 44:05I bet your heart rate hits a million
- 44:06running up that hill.
- 44:09Well, one, I'll never find out, Sean.
- 44:12Never find out because no way in hell
- 44:14am I running up that hill.
- 44:22Oh, yeah, this is fairly common.
- 44:24Fairly common for who?
- 44:37Insanity.
- 44:39Insanity.
- 44:44I walked up the Berman Talladega and I
- 44:46was pretty scary.
- 44:47I have heard that the incline is so
- 44:50steep on that.
- 44:51It is frightening.
- 44:54Frightening.
- 44:58Can you imagine the butt muscles you would
- 45:04form going up that hill?
- 45:10Frida has a few friends that have done
- 45:13this type of run.
- 45:15And you're still friends?
- 45:19Now,
- 45:19it would take sick fitness to be able
- 45:21to do this, but holy cow.
- 45:28Shanna says pole vaulting has helped her
- 45:30CrossFit.
- 45:33Usually you hear like CrossFit has helped
- 45:36my pole vault.
- 45:38And Shannon's like,
- 45:38no pole vaulting has actually helped her
- 45:41CrossFit.
- 45:48How do they get back down?
- 45:49That's a, that's a great question.
- 45:51There's no video on that.
- 46:03Uh, Jay Burch heard,
- 46:04hears that Joseph has great glutes.
- 46:09The incline at Bristol Motor Speedway is
- 46:11ridiculous.
- 46:13That's even a shorter track than
- 46:14Talladega.
- 46:15So I'm wondering.
- 46:24Everybody wants to pick on me about the
- 46:26Bears.
- 46:27How do you feel about the Bears moving
- 46:28to Indiana?
- 46:29I don't care.
- 46:32I don't.
- 46:34Where they're moving in Indiana,
- 46:35you can see the skyline of Chicago.
- 46:38If they move there or up or Arlington
- 46:42Heights, either one of those locations,
- 46:44I am fine with.
- 46:46Whatever gives them the best deal to make
- 46:48the most money to be able to invest
- 46:52back in the team is where I want
- 46:53them to go.
- 46:58Frida answers our question.
- 47:00There are stairs and elevators on the
- 47:01backside.
- 47:03There you go.
- 47:09Seems like people are making a bigger deal
- 47:12than what it is.
- 47:13I am with you.
- 47:17Yeah,
- 47:18politicians are making a way bigger deal
- 47:21of it than what it needs to be.
- 47:25It just needs to get done.
- 47:27They've been at this since twenty twenty
- 47:29three.
- 47:30Just make a damn decision and let's move
- 47:33on.
- 47:35And again, Meg,
- 47:36for the second time this week,
- 47:38has put an obstacle in the way of
- 47:41our friendship.
- 47:48So there she is.
- 47:54The San Francisco Forty-Niners are in
- 47:56Santa Clara.
- 47:57Correct.
- 47:58The New York Jets and the New York
- 47:59Giants are in New Jersey.
- 48:02The Kansas City Chiefs are moving to
- 48:04Kansas out of Missouri.
- 48:08It's just the way of the world.
- 48:17Cows in CrossFit said they better take the
- 48:19stairs.
- 48:20To run up seems hypocritical to take the
- 48:22elevator down.
- 48:24Oh my gosh.
- 48:28and he's here just someone say bears they
- 48:32suck no i think if i look at
- 48:38last year's standings the first place team
- 48:40in the division jeremy was the bears the
- 48:49washington redskins are in maryland have
- 48:52you seen the artist's rendering of the new
- 48:54redskins redskins
- 48:56Now you got me saying Redskins,
- 48:58the Washington commanders,
- 48:59new team or new stadium.
- 49:03It has like, it has the columns,
- 49:08the colonnades,
- 49:09like going around it to fit in with
- 49:11the skyline of DC though.
- 49:17It is the coolest looking stadium.
- 49:19I've seen an artist rendering for of the
- 49:21upcoming stadiums.
- 49:30Jeremy's afraid of the Bears.
- 49:32I know, Clark.
- 49:35See, most Packer fans do this.
- 49:37Let's look at the Super Bowl wins.
- 49:39Well, let's look at the NFL championships.
- 49:41The NFL has been around a lot longer
- 49:44than the Super Bowl has been around.
- 49:46If you want to count championships,
- 49:48we can do that.
- 49:50We would love to do that.
- 49:52Don't narrow it down to just the Super
- 49:54Bowl era.
- 50:06Here we go.
- 50:07Yep.
- 50:08Those are facts.
- 50:10Facts, Jeremy.
- 50:14Bajan predicted Super Bowl in twenty
- 50:16seven.
- 50:17Yes.
- 50:27Sean says should only count Super Bowls
- 50:29from twenty seventeen until now.
- 50:30Well, OK.
- 50:33OK.
- 50:37Go birds.
- 50:37Okay.
- 50:38Now I get it.
- 50:39Now I get it.
- 50:43Yeah, Meg, I thought we were friends too.
- 50:45And then like twice this week,
- 50:47you've said things that like,
- 50:49I don't know how we can be friends.
- 50:55There it is.
- 50:56All right, guys, it's been a fun show.
- 50:59Um,
- 51:03Kate,
- 51:04I'm very up to speed on the new
- 51:05Commander Stadium design.
- 51:06Not my firm,
- 51:07but we're hoping to get engaged in some
- 51:10of the additional development around it.
- 51:13Yeah, you're in that area too.
