• 1:01
  2024 women of the crossfit

  down to one and I think I'm
• 1:08
  the only one that's seen
• 1:09
  all the lists yes
• 1:11
  And it is,
• 1:12
  remember last year we were
• 1:14
  really similar.
• 1:14
  Yeah.
• 1:16
  None of us are similar this year.
• 1:17
  Interesting.
• 1:19
  Yeah.
• 1:20
  So it's going to be
• 1:21
  interesting to see like
• 1:23
  what people think of the lists,
• 1:24
  what you guys,
• 1:25
  we think of each other's lists,
• 1:27
  all of that kind of stuff.
• 1:28
  So.
• 1:30
  While you're here, don't forget, like,
• 1:33
  subscribe to the channel,
• 1:35
  hit that bell so you're the
• 1:36
  first one to know when new
• 1:38
  episodes come out all week.
• 1:40
  As we shift from elite
• 1:42
  athlete interviews this
• 1:44
  week to we're going to move
• 1:44
  more into the Masters athletes this week.
• 1:48
  So make sure to check that out.
• 1:50
  And if you did not see the
• 1:51
  interview we did with the
• 1:54
  Fialas on Thursday,
• 1:56
  so good and so important.
• 2:02
  for what has happened a
• 2:03
  mother and daughter,
• 2:05
  both qualifying for the
• 2:05
  CrossFit games for the
• 2:07
  first time as rookies.
• 2:09
  And it's on the same weekend.
• 2:12
  So mom was going to forego
• 2:13
  her rookie year to go with her daughter.
• 2:17
  And her daughter said, if you do that,
• 2:19
  I'm not going.
• 2:19
  Oh man.
• 2:23
  Good for the daughter.
• 2:24
  So the daughter is going
• 2:26
  with dad to Michigan and,
• 2:29
  mother and son are going to
• 2:31
  birmingham alabama for the
• 2:32
  masters and she and so I'm
• 2:36
  hoping with behind the
• 2:37
  scenes we can catch some
• 2:38
  footage of her catching the
• 2:39
  daughter on the live stream
• 2:42
  and rooting for her some
• 2:43
  stuff like that we're going
• 2:45
  to try to take those back
• 2:46
  stories um use those to get
• 2:49
  really good behind the
• 2:50
  scenes at the masters uh
• 2:53
  crossfit games in birmingham
• 2:56
  still bummed because we were
• 2:59
  the the this company was
• 3:01
  going to forego the elite
• 3:03
  crossfit games to cover
• 3:05
  both the teens and the
• 3:07
  masters right and when they
• 3:10
  decided to schedule them
• 3:11
  both on the same weekend we
• 3:13
  had to make a choice and
• 3:16
  jamie's become one of my
• 3:17
  best friends so we're going
• 3:19
  to the masters
• 3:21
  I would almost rather stay
• 3:22
  here in Michigan and less stress,
• 3:27
  less travel, less money.
• 3:29
  It is what it is.
• 3:32
  Yeah.
• 3:32
  But it's your rookie year at
• 3:34
  the CrossFit games.
• 3:34
  And with that, how's it going training?
• 3:39
  Well, I had, I mean,
• 3:41
  I did the fresh coast last weekend,
• 3:43
  so there was like little D load to that.
• 3:47
  And I took a couple of days after.
• 3:50
  So I just feel like I'm back
• 3:52
  in that little lull slump.
• 3:54
  I don't know.
• 3:57
  It's just going to be good weeks,
• 3:58
  bad weeks.
• 3:59
  Sometimes you feel like
• 4:00
  you're dying and overtrained,
• 4:01
  and I feel pretty good right now.
• 4:04
  So I don't know.
• 4:05
  Hopefully we get another good, tough week.
• 4:08
  Our good friend Sarah Cooper,
• 4:09
  we've got a 70-plus going
• 4:11
  from my gym to the Masters.
• 4:12
  That's awesome.
• 4:15
  Not many of them signed up.
• 4:16
  Yeah,
• 4:17
  I talked to Lana Marcin at Fresh Coast,
• 4:21
  and she was not happy with
• 4:23
  the signups that they got
• 4:24
  for the 70 plus.
• 4:28
  But they have it for this year.
• 4:31
  Hopefully,
• 4:32
  it's a good enough showing that
• 4:33
  they will continue that on.
• 4:36
  So big hello, shout outs to Valberto,
• 4:40
  Kenneth, Bruce, Sarah, of course,
• 4:43
  and Holly,
• 4:44
  who are all here with us tonight.
• 4:47
  Sorry.
• 4:47
  What's up, guys?
• 4:49
  So this isn't in our notes or anything.
• 4:54
  I was listening to an
• 4:55
  interview with Michael
• 4:56
  Phelps that he was on Pat McAfee.
• 4:59
  And he talked in that interview,
• 5:02
  something you said,
• 5:03
  like clicked this thing he said,
• 5:06
  that he was so psychotic
• 5:09
  about his training that he
• 5:11
  never missed a day in six years.
• 5:13
  Wow.
• 5:14
  Never took a rest day.
• 5:17
  In six years.
• 5:19
  Cause in his mind, if you take one day off,
• 5:22
  it takes two days to get
• 5:23
  you back to where you were.
• 5:24
  Yeah.
• 5:26
  And if you, and if he did it every day,
• 5:29
  that's 50.
• 5:29
  If everybody else took a one rest day,
• 5:33
  that gives him 52 days of
• 5:34
  training that nobody else had.
• 5:37
  I won my one race by one,
• 5:39
  one hundredth of a second.
• 5:42
  And I believe that those 52
• 5:43
  days got me that one,
• 5:45
  one hundredth of a second.
• 5:49
  Yeah,
• 5:50
  I feel like CrossFit especially is a
• 5:52
  tough sport to get into that mindset.
• 5:56
  I was guilty of that for years.
• 5:58
  I would go 30 days without
• 6:00
  taking a rest day at all.
• 6:03
  And I mean...
• 6:06
  There's, there's so many little,
• 6:08
  so many different variables,
• 6:09
  so many little pieces.
• 6:10
  Like, I feel like you, you know,
• 6:12
  if you're like, Oh, I feel beat up.
• 6:14
  I should move this piece.
• 6:16
  And then you get to that day
• 6:17
  and it coincides with something else.
• 6:19
  It's just like, it's hard.
• 6:21
  It is.
• 6:23
  It's hard to want to like
• 6:26
  trust your body and skip a piece.
• 6:29
  Because you do,
• 6:30
  you feel like you're
• 6:31
  falling behind people
• 6:31
  because there's so many
• 6:33
  things you constantly need
• 6:34
  to be training.
• 6:35
  My only thing about this is
• 6:37
  I hope young kids are not
• 6:38
  listening to this going,
• 6:40
  that's what I have to do to be great.
• 6:42
  Because, you know,
• 6:44
  Rich Froning said that when
• 6:45
  he was competing early on, right?
• 6:47
  That his body just didn't
• 6:49
  like sitting around resting.
• 6:51
  Yeah.
• 6:52
  So he needed to go move.
• 6:54
  And I just, yeah, you needed to move.
• 6:57
  And everybody's body reacts different.
• 7:00
  When I was swimming five hours a day,
• 7:04
  And that was through high
• 7:05
  school and then into college.
• 7:07
  Like, my body needed a rest.
• 7:09
  Like,
• 7:10
  it was whooped up by the time Sunday
• 7:13
  came.
• 7:13
  And I think if I tried to go
• 7:15
  seven days a week,
• 7:17
  my body would have failed at some point.
• 7:21
  I mean,
• 7:21
  it's just a recipe for overtraining,
• 7:24
  injury.
• 7:24
  I mean,
• 7:25
  your muscles can't grow without the
• 7:26
  rest day, so...
• 7:28
  Michael Phelps is a cyborg
• 7:30
  that just comes around once
• 7:32
  in a lifetime.
• 7:34
  And to try to emulate that greatness is,
• 7:36
  is just a recipe for, for disappointment.
• 7:40
  I think if everybody tried
• 7:42
  to do it the way he did it, you know,
• 7:44
  you look at Jason Hopper
• 7:45
  trying to emulate Matt Fraser and,
• 7:48
  and he has his worst finish
• 7:49
  ever at the games.
• 7:50
  Right.
• 7:51
  You have to do what works best for you.
• 7:54
  Absolutely.
• 7:56
  Anyway,
• 7:57
  just a little side note as
• 7:59
  something I listened to as
• 8:01
  I was relaxing this weekend.
• 8:03
  So we'll go into our,
• 8:06
  what are you watching?
• 8:08
  How far are you into the bear?
• 8:11
  I watched one more episode.
• 8:15
  Okay.
• 8:16
  I do not have time.
• 8:17
  I am stressed.
• 8:19
  It's tough.
• 8:20
  Yeah.
• 8:21
  we finished it we finished
• 8:22
  season three oh nice um
• 8:25
  right before we went on
• 8:26
  vacation um but we couldn't
• 8:28
  get it took us like a week
• 8:29
  to get the last episode um
• 8:33
  I just I hate watching the
• 8:35
  last episode because I know
• 8:37
  that I just want to watch
• 8:38
  more right and I have to
• 8:39
  wait a year right
• 8:43
  And that's where I'm at.
• 8:43
  And this one, the story just, so not to,
• 8:48
  I'm not, no spoiler alert here,
• 8:50
  but when you,
• 8:54
  season two was so phenomenal,
• 8:57
  moving the story forward.
• 9:00
  To me,
• 9:01
  season three does not move the story
• 9:03
  forward very much.
• 9:05
  It's almost like,
• 9:08
  those,
• 9:09
  those middle sequels that are
• 9:10
  setting up the end and it's
• 9:12
  setting up like the next season.
• 9:14
  So it doesn't really get anywhere.
• 9:17
  And you feel like let down from the season,
• 9:20
  even though everybody's
• 9:21
  great in it and the story's great.
• 9:23
  It just didn't go very far.
• 9:26
  It makes sense.
• 9:28
  So there's that.
• 9:31
  The other thing I'm totally
• 9:32
  into is receiver now.
• 9:33
  I've seen clips.
• 9:37
  which was quarterback last year.
• 9:39
  Right.
• 9:39
  Receiver this year.
• 9:40
  Um, yeah,
• 9:43
  I'm like four episodes into that
• 9:45
  and I think it's seven.
• 9:47
  So that's pretty good.
• 9:48
  Yeah.
• 9:49
  I enjoyed quarterback.
• 9:50
  I'm sure.
• 9:50
  I'm sure I would like the receiver.
• 9:53
  Yeah.
• 9:53
  It's really,
• 9:53
  this one is way more people
• 9:55
  instead of three quarterbacks, five,
• 9:57
  five receivers.
• 10:00
  Um,
• 10:02
  And it's funny.
• 10:02
  They all kind of got hurt at
• 10:03
  the same time.
• 10:05
  So it kind of shows you how rough it is.
• 10:08
  Yeah.
• 10:10
  And some want to blame the
• 10:12
  quarterback for why they're getting hurt.
• 10:14
  Some don't.
• 10:17
  But your Amon Ross St.
• 10:19
  Brown is in it.
• 10:20
  Yeah.
• 10:23
  And in the first episode,
• 10:25
  he tears his oblique from the bone.
• 10:29
  Yeah.
• 10:30
  And continues to play.
• 10:33
  Yeah.
• 10:33
  That just, that doesn't even seem.
• 10:38
  They're tough.
• 10:43
  Kenneth, you are correct.
• 10:46
  I thought I heard the Hard
• 10:47
  Knocks is doing the Chicago
• 10:48
  Bears this year.
• 10:49
  Is that true?
• 10:49
  It is completely true.
• 10:54
  And I cannot wait.
• 10:55
  The first episode is like August 7th,
• 10:56
  I think, 6th or 7th.
• 10:59
  Uh, but they're there now.
• 11:01
  Uh,
• 11:01
  the bear started training camp this
• 11:02
  last week.
• 11:04
  Um,
• 11:04
  HBO has already been there doing their
• 11:06
  thing.
• 11:07
  Um,
• 11:07
  so it'll be interesting to see what
• 11:09
  comes out from it.
• 11:11
  Very exciting.
• 11:13
  Um, heard Tyson Bajans having a great, uh,
• 11:17
  he had a great spring and coming into, uh,
• 11:19
  the season and like
• 11:21
  solidified himself as the
• 11:22
  backup quarterback, uh,
• 11:24
  with like no debate.
• 11:26
  That's awesome.
• 11:29
  So, um, and he's been getting some,
• 11:32
  some run in the Chicago media.
• 11:34
  Cause like,
• 11:34
  I'm always looking for bear
• 11:35
  stuff on YouTube and like
• 11:37
  he pops up quite a bit this year.
• 11:40
  Uh, just his dad,
• 11:42
  the whole arm wrestling story.
• 11:43
  Um,
• 11:44
  and he always talks about CrossFit as
• 11:47
  his way to do stuff.
• 11:48
  So that's, it's cool.
• 11:50
  Yeah.
• 11:51
  I like following him.
• 11:53
  It's still disappointing
• 11:54
  that CrossFit has not used him more.
• 11:57
  Agree.
• 11:58
  uh to do do some things so
• 12:00
  uh try your dagger says
• 12:03
  let's rank some folks we're
• 12:05
  gonna get there we're gonna
• 12:06
  get there we have a third
• 12:07
  person coming in carolyn's
• 12:09
  on her way she just is uh
• 12:12
  uh out to dinner with lex
• 12:14
  and as soon as she gets in
• 12:15
  we'll we'll get to the fun
• 12:17
  stuff but one thing I did
• 12:19
  want to I wanted to pull up
• 12:22
  is last week we talked about
• 12:25
  why CrossFit isn't
• 12:28
  promoting the Tia Laura rivalry more.
• 12:33
  And they took one step, one baby step,
• 12:43
  with this post.
• 12:46
  And we talked about it,
• 12:47
  that she made this quote
• 12:49
  However it goes, it ends with me winning.
• 12:52
  And that they should use that.
• 12:54
  And then they should have
• 12:55
  some clips of Tia, like,
• 12:57
  dominating and back and forth.
• 12:59
  So they took this tiny step, like,
• 13:01
  that we wanted them to take so bad.
• 13:05
  And then nothing.
• 13:06
  Followed this up.
• 13:08
  Yeah.
• 13:09
  We are less than two weeks
• 13:11
  away from the CrossFit Games.
• 13:15
  This mega rivalry on the horizon.
• 13:18
  And this, it's a step.
• 13:20
  We asked for a step.
• 13:23
  Yeah, they shared it at least.
• 13:24
  I mean, it got lots of interaction.
• 13:29
  Sarah,
• 13:30
  neither one of them need to participate.
• 13:31
  They've already said things.
• 13:33
  They've already done things.
• 13:35
  Oh, I think Laura wants to participate.
• 13:38
  I mean,
• 13:39
  she's the one putting it out there.
• 13:42
  When NBC promotes the Sunday
• 13:44
  night football game,
• 13:46
  they don't go ask the
• 13:47
  players for footage of what
• 13:48
  they're doing.
• 13:49
  They go back and get clips
• 13:51
  and put it together to
• 13:52
  promote their show.
• 13:55
  CrossFit has a show coming up.
• 13:57
  They have a show that
• 13:59
  they're trying to get eyes on,
• 14:00
  that they're trying to get
• 14:01
  butts in seats.
• 14:03
  They should be taking clips
• 14:05
  and making a montage of
• 14:06
  these two women going at it.
• 14:09
  Mm-hmm.
• 14:11
  Clips from Rogue.
• 14:12
  Clips from when they've
• 14:13
  competed in the past.
• 14:16
  They're the last two champions.
• 14:17
  It's everything there is.
• 14:21
  I agree.
• 14:21
  Tia probably would not participate.
• 14:24
  I cannot even follow her social media.
• 14:26
  It is all ads.
• 14:28
  But she is interviewed after events.
• 14:31
  Sure.
• 14:32
  Yes, they could pull clips.
• 14:33
  Would she be active and be making posts?
• 14:35
  No.
• 14:35
  Could they create their own storyline?
• 14:38
  Sure.
• 14:39
  You could do it with footage
• 14:40
  of them competing against each other.
• 14:42
  Yeah.
• 14:42
  It doesn't even have to be
• 14:43
  anything she says.
• 14:46
  Like it just, it's so damn frustrating.
• 14:51
  Yeah.
• 14:51
  Small team.
• 14:52
  They can't do that stuff.
• 14:53
  Scott.
• 14:55
  Well,
• 14:55
  then they have people like Jason and
• 14:57
  Dallin actually saying
• 14:58
  things and they could grab those clips.
• 15:00
  Yes.
• 15:01
  We could put those together.
• 15:03
  Like you listen to these interviews,
• 15:05
  Lazar Jukic with Sivan the
• 15:07
  other day is talking about
• 15:09
  throw eight names in the hat, nine,
• 15:11
  ten names in the hat.
• 15:12
  Anyone could win the games.
• 15:15
  Very true.
• 15:16
  We haven't had that in forever.
• 15:22
  Throw all their stuff in.
• 15:24
  Who you got this year?
• 15:25
  Do a whole who you got campaign.
• 15:28
  Have Roman's interview after
• 15:30
  the box overs at semifinals,
• 15:35
  right into Dallin's interview,
• 15:37
  right into Hopper's, like all that stuff.
• 15:40
  It's all out there.
• 15:41
  All they have to do is
• 15:41
  curate it and throw it together.
• 15:42
  Oh, gosh, it's frustrating.
• 15:48
  Going to have to do the work for them.
• 15:51
  But it's funny.
• 15:51
  We actually said this last week,
• 15:53
  and we got this,
• 15:55
  and then I was watching for more,
• 15:56
  and it never came.
• 16:00
  Never came.
• 16:03
  So.
• 16:05
  Anyway.
• 16:05
  Metcon Rush.
• 16:09
  Did you see anything from there?
• 16:11
  I didn't.
• 16:12
  They did some Instagram lives.
• 16:14
  I was really jealous because
• 16:15
  I was supposed to go to Metcon Rush.
• 16:17
  Right.
• 16:19
  But had to pull out of that
• 16:21
  because of vacation planned
• 16:23
  by my wife and had to
• 16:26
  choose happy wife life over
• 16:29
  going to Metcon Rush.
• 16:30
  But one of my favorite
• 16:33
  people in the world won the women's side.
• 16:37
  And that is Freya Mooseburger.
• 16:40
  So huge shout out to her.
• 16:42
  She was followed in second
• 16:43
  by Samantha Pugh and third Chloe Serrano.
• 16:48
  And the winners got three grand.
• 16:53
  That's almost as much as
• 16:55
  like winning a semifinal.
• 16:57
  Yeah.
• 16:58
  Not a bad day.
• 17:00
  Not a bad weekend.
• 17:11
  Vi actually says,
• 17:12
  Dave admitting that
• 17:13
  dismantling the media
• 17:14
  department was a huge mistake.
• 17:16
  It's kind of a win though.
• 17:17
  And maybe it means changes are coming.
• 17:20
  And Vi is speaking to, in an interview,
• 17:22
  he was asked,
• 17:23
  what's the one thing he
• 17:24
  would change if he could
• 17:26
  change anything in the past?
• 17:27
  And it was the dismantling
• 17:29
  of the media department.
• 17:30
  Yeah.
• 17:30
  I mean, he brought that up.
• 17:32
  Well,
• 17:33
  I feel like Pat brought that up as well,
• 17:35
  the media.
• 17:36
  And then a different interview,
• 17:37
  he brought that up.
• 17:37
  So, I mean, it was brought up twice.
• 17:39
  Yeah.
• 17:40
  because of the way the
• 17:40
  question was asked though, it was,
• 17:42
  it had more punch.
• 17:44
  Yeah.
• 17:44
  What is the one mistake you
• 17:45
  would want to do differently?
• 17:49
  Um, and so, yeah,
• 17:51
  and we can get into some of that,
• 17:52
  but Sarah is,
• 17:53
  and we're jumping all over
• 17:54
  the place till Carolyn gets here,
• 17:55
  but Sarah is asking who my Funkos are.
• 17:57
  I have a bunch by the way.
• 18:00
  Like if you saw on the other side there,
• 18:02
  there's a bunch, but I have the flash.
• 18:08
  I have,
• 18:10
  my namesake thor then I have
• 18:17
  some fun ones uh this is
• 18:19
  mike didka nice the bears
• 18:25
  this is uh the tick I don't
• 18:28
  know if you're it's like it
• 18:29
  was a sitcom comedy uh
• 18:32
  super super funny and then
• 18:34
  this is uh slash from guns and roses
• 18:40
  And then back here who fell down is, uh,
• 18:44
  Walter Payton.
• 18:48
  So, yeah,
• 18:52
  I used to collect all kinds of things,
• 18:55
  but now I just collect, uh,
• 18:56
  mint trading cards.
• 18:59
  These wax packs are so freaking fun.
• 19:02
  This takes me back to like
• 19:04
  1984 saving my allowance,
• 19:07
  going down to the store and
• 19:07
  open up at football cards
• 19:09
  and being excited about who was inside.
• 19:12
  If you have not got yourself
• 19:14
  a mint trading card, wax pack,
• 19:16
  got to go on mint trading cards.
• 19:18
  Wad zombie is the freaking
• 19:20
  coolest dude in the space.
• 19:22
  These are the coolest
• 19:23
  trading thing in the space.
• 19:25
  Go grab you some, um,
• 19:28
  Some of his new ones are Enola Kai,
• 19:30
  which I've learned in the
• 19:31
  Dave Castro interviews.
• 19:33
  He's like the coolest guy in CrossFit.
• 19:36
  Right?
• 19:37
  Yeah.
• 19:39
  Hattie Cano.
• 19:40
  He's got Savan, Adrian Conway, Chase.
• 19:46
  I don't know who else.
• 19:49
  I got a bunch of them.
• 19:50
  But anyway, go check those out.
• 19:54
  They're awesome.
• 19:57
  Um...
• 20:02
  Trying to catch up on everything.
• 20:04
  SoCal Whizza.
• 20:06
  SoCal Whizza?
• 20:08
  Yeah.
• 20:10
  SoCal.
• 20:11
  That's what's next.
• 20:12
  This comment.
• 20:15
  The people in CrossFit media
• 20:16
  do not love CrossFit.
• 20:18
  It is a job, not a passion.
• 20:20
  Their work quality proves it.
• 20:21
  That is evident.
• 20:23
  I would agree.
• 20:24
  And Sarah Cooper has the
• 20:26
  Harry Potter Funkos.
• 20:27
  I have Harry as well, somewhere up there.
• 20:32
  And then the other Metcon Rush winner,
• 20:35
  we forgot, we didn't finish that out.
• 20:37
  Luis Oscar Mora won.
• 20:41
  Nick Matthew took second.
• 20:42
  And Benoit Boulanger took third.
• 20:47
  So all big-time semifinal athletes.
• 20:52
  Metcon Rush is killing it over there.
• 20:55
  um, in Maryland,
• 20:57
  I've got to get there next year.
• 20:58
  Like it is those,
• 21:01
  one of those mid majors
• 21:02
  that is going to grow the sport.
• 21:04
  And I've been saying that
• 21:05
  for months now it crash.
• 21:08
  So Cal or NorCal classic,
• 21:11
  those beach brawl,
• 21:13
  all those kinds of things.
• 21:15
  They're the ones that are
• 21:16
  going to grow the sport
• 21:16
  because they're getting
• 21:17
  really good names.
• 21:21
  uh someday we'll see him we
• 21:22
  we were we fulfilled your
• 21:24
  request from last week
• 21:25
  seeing our og pictures I'm
• 21:27
  just waiting for carolyn to
• 21:28
  jump in for those as well
• 21:31
  so uh so okay so socal
• 21:35
  wadapalooza um do I have to
• 21:38
  say tear in there too I
• 21:39
  don't know I have no idea
• 21:41
  yeah it's a long name
• 21:44
  is as named a bunch of
• 21:46
  people since we last met.
• 21:48
  It started with Lazar Jukic
• 21:50
  for the world team,
• 21:52
  Ariel Lowen for the North American team,
• 21:55
  Justin Medeiros for the
• 21:56
  North American team,
• 21:58
  Sahir Kaya for the world team,
• 22:01
  and they've been added to
• 22:04
  the rosters of Tia Toomey, Jeff Adler,
• 22:06
  and Danielle Brandon.
• 22:10
  So that's shaping up to be a
• 22:14
  star-studded event.
• 22:16
  Yes.
• 22:16
  It'll be exciting.
• 22:20
  Yeah, super exciting.
• 22:23
  And I think this question
• 22:25
  was thrown in here by our co-host,
• 22:27
  Carolyn.
• 22:29
  But we'll go ahead and we'll
• 22:31
  attack it now.
• 22:34
  We got into it last week
• 22:36
  about the Hall of Fame.
• 22:38
  Right.
• 22:39
  And Carolyn forgot Matt.
• 22:42
  And then she stuck to her
• 22:43
  guns on Instagram and said
• 22:45
  she's keeping Matt out of
• 22:46
  the inaugural class,
• 22:48
  which makes no sense to me.
• 22:50
  And I'd love to hear the
• 22:51
  explanation on this.
• 22:53
  And she was going with Kalipa, Miko Salo,
• 22:57
  and Rich.
• 23:01
  So with this, she asked,
• 23:06
  who would your MVP out of
• 23:08
  Matt and Rich be?
• 23:10
  I'll let you go first.
• 23:12
  I think I know your answer.
• 23:15
  Do you?
• 23:16
  I don't know.
• 23:17
  So if I had to... Well,
• 23:19
  this depends on MVP how.
• 23:22
  Like who I would put on a
• 23:24
  team to try to win an event,
• 23:26
  I would have to go with that.
• 23:32
  If...
• 23:34
  If it was, like,
• 23:35
  who was the biggest
• 23:36
  contribution to the sport of CrossFit,
• 23:39
  for sure I would go with Rich.
• 23:44
  So I think it's Rich on both fronts.
• 23:49
  Matt is, I mean, just like Tia, like,
• 23:54
  unrivaled.
• 23:54
  Yeah.
• 23:56
  I would have loved to seen
• 23:57
  them actually go head to head.
• 23:59
  I just did.
• 24:01
  Well, 2014.
• 24:02
  Yeah.
• 24:03
  That doesn't count.
• 24:04
  No, that does not count.
• 24:06
  Like, like a 2018, 19 head to head.
• 24:10
  I would have liked to seen them go.
• 24:12
  That's not fair to rich.
• 24:14
  Cause rich is older.
• 24:17
  Yeah.
• 24:17
  And rich was great against the field when,
• 24:21
  when things weren't as
• 24:23
  heavy and skills weren't as ran as deep.
• 24:26
  Matt could still demolish fields in very,
• 24:32
  very deep fields.
• 24:33
  I don't know.
• 24:35
  I would have to see Rich
• 24:38
  have competed in that time frame.
• 24:39
  I just think Matt's
• 24:41
  domination is unparalleled.
• 24:47
  They both retired on top,
• 24:51
  meaning they both probably
• 24:53
  left stuff on the table.
• 24:56
  So when you're going four to five,
• 24:59
  that doesn't mean much to
• 25:00
  me because I'm convinced
• 25:02
  Rich could have beat Ben Smith in 15.
• 25:05
  Yeah.
• 25:08
  Right.
• 25:09
  And to be honest,
• 25:12
  Matt probably wins a couple
• 25:13
  more if he wants to.
• 25:18
  but rich only, he never tried to dominate.
• 25:22
  Rich did enough.
• 25:24
  I agree with that.
• 25:25
  So like,
• 25:26
  you're not going to get the spread
• 25:27
  you would get with Matt.
• 25:28
  They had different mindsets,
• 25:31
  which was about saving his
• 25:32
  body for the end.
• 25:33
  And he never lost on Sunday.
• 25:35
  Yep.
• 25:36
  And his plan worked beautifully.
• 25:38
  I agree.
• 25:41
  So I don't, I don't know.
• 25:42
  I think it's, it's a toss up.
• 25:45
  If you really look at it, um,
• 25:49
  Because Rich had that, they both had that,
• 25:52
  I'm not going to lose mentality.
• 25:56
  And they were willing to die
• 25:57
  on that hill to do it.
• 26:00
  I wish we had some insight
• 26:03
  to Matt's time at Mayhem.
• 26:08
  And like,
• 26:08
  I think there was someone alluded to,
• 26:11
  you know, like they're,
• 26:12
  they both have that won't back down.
• 26:13
  So like if they had to work,
• 26:15
  if they worked out together
• 26:16
  in the gym together,
• 26:16
  they were both going to try
• 26:18
  to win that workout.
• 26:19
  And,
• 26:19
  and it's hard to do just workout
• 26:22
  training sessions every day,
• 26:23
  trying to win.
• 26:25
  Um,
• 26:25
  but I wish we would've gotten more
• 26:27
  insight into that.
• 26:28
  Like was rich beating Matt
• 26:31
  60% of the time.
• 26:32
  I like, and we'll never know.
• 26:35
  I'm sure.
• 26:36
  I wish somebody would come out with that.
• 26:38
  It's like how many licks it
• 26:39
  takes to get to the center
• 26:40
  of a Tootsie Pop.
• 26:42
  The world will never know.
• 26:43
  It's too bad.
• 26:44
  Someone in there has got to
• 26:46
  have some insight.
• 26:49
  Your coach,
• 26:51
  didn't Rich overhead squat
• 26:52
  nearly 400 pounds in 2014?
• 26:55
  Yes, he did.
• 26:58
  What's Matt's overhead squat?
• 27:00
  Not as heavy.
• 27:01
  Wink.
• 27:06
  Yeah.
• 27:08
  Rich was strong back in the day.
• 27:09
  Oh, yeah.
• 27:10
  Yes.
• 27:13
  Like at Invitationals,
• 27:14
  he was trying ridiculous
• 27:16
  numbers that nobody else
• 27:18
  even had a shot at.
• 27:22
  Vi says,
• 27:23
  Matt was a more impressive athlete
• 27:24
  than Rich.
• 27:25
  Obviously, it's all conjecture,
• 27:27
  but I think peak Matt would be peak Rich.
• 27:29
  Rich has clearly done more for the sport,
• 27:31
  so it's probably about what matters.
• 27:35
  yeah I agree I like if I
• 27:37
  would pick rich to
• 27:39
  represent crossfit any day
• 27:41
  of the week um it's it's
• 27:42
  pretty overwhelming that
• 27:45
  it's rich yeah um
• 27:52
  throughout here uh sarah
• 27:55
  matt influences sport after
• 27:57
  rich I might add rich is crossfit
• 28:01
  Rich is the goat of CrossFit,
• 28:02
  but Matt was the most
• 28:03
  dominant individual.
• 28:04
  Rich has done more for CrossFit than Matt.
• 28:07
  Yeah,
• 28:07
  I don't think anybody can dispute any
• 28:09
  of those.
• 28:11
  But I do think everybody
• 28:13
  just automatically says
• 28:14
  that Matt was more dominant.
• 28:16
  And Rich,
• 28:18
  after his first year taking second,
• 28:20
  never lost.
• 28:23
  Right?
• 28:23
  So he did everything he
• 28:25
  needed to do to win.
• 28:28
  Matt had a different mindset
• 28:29
  he wanted to crush the
• 28:31
  competition he wanted to
• 28:32
  set records I'm not sure
• 28:34
  that's what mattered to
• 28:35
  Rich I think Rich just
• 28:36
  wanted to win at the end of
• 28:39
  the day I mean it would
• 28:41
  have been nice to see them
• 28:42
  continue on because I don't
• 28:45
  like could Rich have
• 28:48
  trained to that capacity I
• 28:49
  don't know I don't know but
• 28:53
  you're right he's older
• 28:54
  that's that's a tougher ask yeah
• 28:59
  And D Reed says,
• 29:00
  Andy beat Matt head to head.
• 29:05
  And he'll always have that in his pocket.
• 29:07
  That's true.
• 29:09
  So.
• 29:15
  The fields that Matt beat were tougher.
• 29:21
  Possibly.
• 29:28
  So.
• 29:34
  Clock says,
• 29:35
  could Rich have learned to run like Matt?
• 29:37
  Doubtful.
• 29:39
  Rich got better at running.
• 29:40
  Yeah.
• 29:42
  He hired Henshaw.
• 29:43
  Henshaw worked with him.
• 29:44
  He got marketably better.
• 29:48
  And it caused a rift between
• 29:49
  him and Kalipa because
• 29:50
  Kalipa was pissed because
• 29:52
  he thought he had the key
• 29:54
  to success over Rich.
• 29:57
  Did Kalipa have Henshaw first?
• 29:59
  Yes.
• 30:00
  Yeah.
• 30:01
  I've heard Henshaw tell the story.
• 30:02
  Yeah.
• 30:05
  So Tristan Patrick says,
• 30:08
  I go back to the 21-59 complex.
• 30:11
  Everyone says that's the
• 30:11
  only time they have ever seen Rich go,
• 30:14
  and he destroyed the field.
• 30:18
  Which complex?
• 30:19
  I'm not sure.
• 30:21
  I don't know.
• 30:23
  Rich had that clutch gene,
• 30:25
  could bring it whenever he needed it.
• 30:28
  Matt did too.
• 30:29
  Yeah.
• 30:33
  So, but yeah.
• 30:36
  But for some reason,
• 30:37
  you throw those two names
• 30:38
  out there and it always
• 30:39
  sparks debate and everybody goes forever.
• 30:43
  Sure.
• 30:45
  But anyway,
• 30:47
  let's move on to the Dave interviews.
• 30:51
  He's done 79 of them.
• 30:54
  Wow.
• 30:57
  There's one left, I believe.
• 31:00
  He only has one left.
• 31:02
  Who is it?
• 31:02
  And it is Danielle Brandon.
• 31:05
  Oh, what the heck?
• 31:08
  There was a poll, I think,
• 31:09
  put out by Barbell Spin
• 31:13
  that asks who's going to be the last.
• 31:15
  Most of the votes were Danielle,
• 31:17
  saying that it's because
• 31:18
  that's his favorite, they're friends,
• 31:21
  blah, blah, blah.
• 31:24
  I have tried to schedule Danielle.
• 31:27
  It is one of the toughest
• 31:29
  things I've ever done in my life.
• 31:31
  We have had her on the show twice,
• 31:33
  but it took multiple
• 31:35
  attempts to get her on.
• 31:39
  But I cannot imagine going
• 31:42
  to the games and
• 31:45
  consciously dissing Dave.
• 31:51
  Halpin did correct me.
• 31:52
  I should have.
• 31:53
  That's right.
• 31:54
  78 because he didn't do Ilya
• 31:56
  Markov because he didn't get his visa.
• 31:59
  He's not coming anyway.
• 32:00
  Yep.
• 32:04
  But again, and yes, Yvonne said this too.
• 32:06
  I heard it as well.
• 32:08
  She is nearly impossible to schedule.
• 32:12
  But I don't have Dave's clout.
• 32:13
  So hopefully Dave can get
• 32:20
  Get that scheduled because
• 32:22
  she hasn't done any media.
• 32:24
  When we were doing these rankings,
• 32:26
  that was going through my head.
• 32:28
  This is the first year we
• 32:30
  haven't seen Danielle do media.
• 32:32
  She did the documentary.
• 32:33
  We haven't heard from her since.
• 32:35
  Yeah.
• 32:36
  It's just posts of more her
• 32:39
  brands and stuff, her sponsors.
• 32:42
  That's all I've seen.
• 32:43
  Yeah.
• 32:45
  So it actually...
• 32:48
  I didn't know whether to
• 32:49
  influence my ranking or not
• 32:51
  because it just seems like
• 32:52
  a different approach this year.
• 32:55
  Yeah.
• 32:55
  Um,
• 32:57
  and we'll see where that ended up later
• 33:00
  tonight.
• 33:03
  Uh,
• 33:03
  Dave announced during the Elisa Fuliano
• 33:05
  interview, um,
• 33:07
  that we now know all the outdoor events.
• 33:11
  So it appears that we're
• 33:12
  only doing the run,
• 33:13
  swim outside and Farrington field.
• 33:17
  Um,
• 33:18
  which was then announced
• 33:20
  later to be the field sprint rest,
• 33:25
  1600 meters.
• 33:31
  Then on Dave's Instagram,
• 33:35
  we got a clue and I'm going
• 33:38
  to share my screen that
• 33:42
  this implement would be
• 33:43
  used at Farrington field.
• 33:47
  And that is this little guy,
• 33:49
  the happy star.
• 33:54
  Then barbell spin took it a
• 33:56
  step further and blew this up.
• 34:01
  And you can see it says 190 pounds,
• 34:04
  70 pounds, 70, 70.
• 34:04
  Uh, so that's a heavy star.
• 34:18
  Yeah.
• 34:19
  How much was the Husafal bag?
• 34:24
  I don't think it was that much.
• 34:26
  $150?
• 34:30
  Carolyn will be on in 10 minutes.
• 34:32
  Sweet.
• 34:36
  They had a heavy cheese curd one year,
• 34:39
  didn't they?
• 34:39
  Didn't that go like black, black,
• 34:44
  yellow cheese curd and that
• 34:44
  was the heavy one, like $200? $200.
• 34:49
  So Sarah says the Husafell
• 34:50
  she thought was $150, $200.
• 34:51
  I'm sure Halpin knows if
• 34:54
  he's still with us.
• 34:55
  That sounds about right.
• 34:58
  The cheese curds the first
• 34:59
  year were only $175 because
• 35:02
  I had to move them.
• 35:04
  I volunteered for that event.
• 35:07
  But I think in years after that,
• 35:09
  they went heavier with the cheese curd.
• 35:11
  Yeah.
• 35:14
  Sarah is correct, according to Halpin.
• 35:17
  150 and 200 for the who's a fell.
• 35:22
  So if it's one 70 for women
• 35:24
  and then two quarter,
• 35:26
  maybe that's the question.
• 35:28
  Is this the women's or the men's bag?
• 35:31
  We will probably find out in
• 35:33
  a week or two.
• 35:37
  Ski bag was 200, one 25.
• 35:39
  I would like,
• 35:41
  like to think being a sprint
• 35:43
  that that's the men's.
• 35:45
  Do we know it's a sprint?
• 35:47
  Yeah, that's true.
• 35:50
  They just say,
• 35:51
  he just said it's going to
• 35:51
  be used in an individual event six.
• 35:57
  There is a 1600 meters that
• 35:59
  they don't tell you how
• 36:01
  that is going to be done.
• 36:03
  They do say field sprint and
• 36:05
  then 1600 meters.
• 36:09
  They had to carry that who's
• 36:10
  a fell a long way upstairs.
• 36:14
  Yeah.
• 36:19
  Yeah, I don't know.
• 36:21
  Yeah.
• 36:22
  Judy Reed, of course she's correct.
• 36:26
  Sarah Cooper is lead female analyst.
• 36:29
  Well,
• 36:29
  I like to think Jamie and Carolyn are,
• 36:30
  but we'll let Sarah in that club.
• 36:35
  I mean, I like the idea,
• 36:36
  even if it is just start at
• 36:38
  the end of the turf,
• 36:40
  pick up the bag and sprint down.
• 36:41
  I like that idea.
• 36:42
  Like you always get like Kelly Baker.
• 36:47
  somebody tripping over their feet,
• 36:48
  trying to run with those
• 36:49
  bags in their hands.
• 36:51
  My dream is that the sprint
• 36:55
  is strong man's fear.
• 36:59
  That is one of my favorite events.
• 37:01
  Ever.
• 37:01
  Yeah, I love that.
• 37:02
  At the games.
• 37:03
  You've got a football field.
• 37:06
  You can break it up with
• 37:08
  handstand walks or other
• 37:09
  things on the field like
• 37:11
  they did back in 2017 and
• 37:14
  put other apparatus out
• 37:15
  there with the happy star.
• 37:17
  And maybe the happy star is
• 37:18
  just the last implement you have to use.
• 37:23
  But I loved that event.
• 37:26
  I was in the pits for that.
• 37:27
  I moved the yolks and I loved,
• 37:31
  I loved seeing that live.
• 37:34
  And there were a lot of races.
• 37:36
  If you remember,
• 37:36
  that's when Fikowski and
• 37:38
  Fraser went off the edge of the,
• 37:42
  the field racing to the end of that.
• 37:49
  Yeah.
• 37:51
  draw your dagger I've
• 37:52
  personally seen with my own
• 37:53
  eyes this weekend women
• 37:54
  moving 200 pound bag pretty
• 37:57
  well I know where draw your
• 38:00
  dagger was and that means
• 38:01
  that fee Alexis and Paige
• 38:04
  Semenza were moving some
• 38:06
  200 pound bags understand I
• 38:13
  want to see them carry the
• 38:14
  bag around the track for
• 38:15
  the 1600 meters and they
• 38:17
  race NASCAR style Robin and racing
• 38:25
  Strongman Sphere is the best
• 38:27
  games event ever.
• 38:28
  I agree.
• 38:29
  It was so many people failed
• 38:32
  right at the edge of the
• 38:33
  line for the handstand
• 38:34
  walks and had to go back.
• 38:37
  People were crushed by those
• 38:39
  big Viking implements that
• 38:41
  they had to carry.
• 38:41
  It was crazy.
• 38:45
  I do think that that's like the best.
• 38:49
  I mean,
• 38:50
  this is your time to showcase our
• 38:53
  sport to everyone.
• 38:56
  you've invited people off
• 38:57
  the street to come in and watch this.
• 38:59
  Like, don't just give them a track meet,
• 39:02
  give them something that
• 39:03
  like showcases our athletes.
• 39:06
  Slater logs.
• 39:07
  Yeah.
• 39:11
  Lex says,
• 39:12
  I want Danielle to play hard to get.
• 39:15
  I think she is.
• 39:16
  Yeah.
• 39:17
  I think she always plays that game.
• 39:19
  I do too.
• 39:26
  so so we have that implement
• 39:28
  I'm hoping for strongman
• 39:29
  sphere are what are you
• 39:30
  hoping for yeah I agree I
• 39:32
  think something like that
• 39:33
  is is the right idea it if
• 39:36
  it's just a sprint or even
• 39:38
  just a sprint with that bag
• 39:39
  running down like if that's
• 39:41
  it it's not enough time on
• 39:43
  the field it's not enough
• 39:44
  like that's just two short
• 39:47
  little things five six max
• 39:49
  seven minutes of a mile run like
• 39:53
  If you're going to bring
• 39:54
  people out and tell people
• 39:55
  to show up at Farrington Field,
• 39:58
  it's got to be worth their time.
• 40:01
  It's got to be a long enough event.
• 40:03
  It's got to showcase our athletes.
• 40:07
  I think Strongman's Fear or
• 40:09
  something like that would
• 40:10
  be a great choice.
• 40:17
  Halpin says there has to be
• 40:18
  more on paper even with that sandbag.
• 40:20
  The heats are eight to 10
• 40:22
  minutes of total work.
• 40:25
  That doesn't seem like very long.
• 40:26
  Yeah, I think he, correct me if I'm wrong,
• 40:31
  Mike,
• 40:31
  but you are actually computing out
• 40:33
  in your head how long with
• 40:35
  the sandbag and the runs
• 40:37
  and all that kind of stuff
• 40:37
  would take heats to go through.
• 40:41
  Well, he must have,
• 40:43
  maybe there's already like,
• 40:46
  So that's what, is that Friday night?
• 40:50
  Is that ESPN's broadcast hour, two hour?
• 40:54
  So there's two hours.
• 40:56
  Correct.
• 40:58
  Scheduled for this.
• 41:03
  Sarah.
• 41:03
  Oh no.
• 41:05
  Beck.
• 41:06
  Do you guys remember the
• 41:07
  2020 games event called happy star?
• 41:11
  Was that the run shoulder to overhead one?
• 41:14
  they had to go out to
• 41:15
  different locations at the
• 41:17
  ranch and come back and then do,
• 41:21
  I think it was shouldered overhead,
• 41:22
  right?
• 41:23
  Yeah.
• 41:26
  Uh, she is saying, uh, redo redux.
• 41:30
  Yeah.
• 41:35
  No,
• 41:35
  I think the burpees over the log were a
• 41:37
  different event.
• 41:41
  Uh,
• 41:41
  that was actually might've been the
• 41:43
  same event.
• 41:43
  They might've come in from running out,
• 41:46
  got done the thing over the,
• 41:48
  I don't know.
• 41:48
  I can't remember if that was
• 41:49
  the same event or different event.
• 41:56
  So Alvin's calculations are 120 yards.
• 41:58
  Sandbag run rest six to seven minute mile.
• 42:05
  Yeah.
• 42:05
  Do says two 2020 hill run burpee thruster.
• 42:09
  So that was different than the happy star.
• 42:11
  Okay.
• 42:13
  So that, okay.
• 42:14
  So that was the one with bar
• 42:16
  muscle up shoulder to overhead.
• 42:19
  And the women were getting
• 42:22
  crushed on the shoulder to overhead.
• 42:24
  You could tell the fatigue
• 42:26
  on her last rep.
• 42:27
  We didn't think we'd ever see that.
• 42:30
  You could see the difference
• 42:31
  there between the men and
• 42:32
  women in the shoulder fatigue.
• 42:35
  That's one of the ones I go
• 42:37
  back to when everyone is
• 42:40
  asking for heavier for the women.
• 42:42
  It has to be the right movements.
• 42:46
  I think people forget about
• 42:49
  the cumulative shoulder
• 42:51
  fatigue on women when you
• 42:52
  pair it with bar muscle-ups,
• 42:53
  ring muscle-ups, shoulder-to-overhead.
• 42:57
  The other news that's come
• 42:58
  out this week is event one, the run swim,
• 43:00
  is tentatively scheduled for 7 a.m.
• 43:03
  Dave did say they're going
• 43:05
  to make the demo team do it at 7 a.m.
• 43:08
  And then if it's too hot,
• 43:10
  they're going to go at 6 a.m.
• 43:13
  Okay.
• 43:14
  I don't know what
• 43:15
  temperature difference
• 43:16
  you're going to get between 6 and 7.
• 43:17
  And I think they're overthinking the heat,
• 43:23
  but that's me.
• 43:28
  And then we finished with
• 43:30
  teams are using a
• 43:31
  paddleboard for event one.
• 43:35
  Do we think they're doing that big one?
• 43:38
  I don't know.
• 43:39
  I don't.
• 43:40
  There's a big one in the picture,
• 43:42
  and it's a picture with Sam
• 43:44
  Dancer and Jen Dancer and
• 43:46
  Christine Kohlenbrander and
• 43:48
  Jared Stevens.
• 43:51
  Yes.
• 43:53
  Those two men would need the
• 43:54
  big paddleboard.
• 43:57
  Just saying.
• 43:58
  But it makes you wonder, well,
• 44:01
  they don't say anything
• 44:02
  about a paddleboard in Run Swim.
• 44:04
  Yeah.
• 44:07
  I don't think the
• 44:07
  individuals are going to
• 44:08
  have a paddleboard, personally.
• 44:10
  I think it's Run Swim.
• 44:12
  That's straightforward.
• 44:17
  Sam Briggs posted an event
• 44:18
  she did with the big
• 44:19
  paddleboard on her Instagram.
• 44:25
  That thing is so big.
• 44:28
  I mean,
• 44:29
  I could see all four of them like
• 44:31
  laying on it and I don't know, or,
• 44:37
  or standing, but I don't know.
• 44:38
  I feel like that'd be a disaster.
• 44:40
  I don't think you could
• 44:40
  coordinate for people standing.
• 44:49
  There's Sam Briggs.
• 44:51
  That's old school.
• 44:51
  Look at the progenics logos.
• 44:58
  That's a six-person team.
• 45:04
  Is this a throwback picture
• 45:06
  or something she recently did?
• 45:09
  She just posted it,
• 45:10
  but if you see that Progenix logo,
• 45:14
  that's old.
• 45:15
  It's got to be old.
• 45:16
  Yeah,
• 45:16
  it seems like something she repurposed.
• 45:20
  I think Carolyn is with us.
• 45:28
  Hello.
• 45:32
  What's up?
• 45:34
  How was dinner?
• 45:37
  It was so good.
• 45:38
  It was a hibachi.
• 45:40
  That's what I had today too.
• 45:41
  I forgot that we had booked
• 45:46
  it like last week and I
• 45:49
  didn't even think about the
• 45:50
  time difference.
• 45:51
  It's like, oh yeah, 4 p.m.
• 45:53
  is perfect.
• 45:54
  But I forgot that we are at
• 45:55
  5 Pacific here.
• 45:59
  We have one more thing and
• 46:00
  then we're going to get
• 46:01
  into our rankings and goofy pictures.
• 46:04
  So first is,
• 46:05
  and the last thing is Pat's
• 46:06
  interview with Dave.
• 46:09
  We talked about this one
• 46:10
  that a lot of people felt
• 46:11
  it was the best ones yet.
• 46:15
  And it definitely was the longest.
• 46:17
  It went 30 minutes of back
• 46:20
  and forth with Pat and Dave.
• 46:23
  And what were your thoughts, ladies?
• 46:26
  I'll let Carolyn go.
• 46:30
  I mean,
• 46:31
  you're not going to keep Pat to a
• 46:32
  short interview.
• 46:33
  That's for sure.
• 46:34
  He always has so much to say.
• 46:36
  He was, yeah,
• 46:37
  that probably my favorite
• 46:38
  interview was Pat.
• 46:40
  I liked that he pushed back
• 46:41
  on some of the events.
• 46:43
  He had some, you know, good humor with,
• 46:46
  you know, is that,
• 46:47
  Are you just out of ideas
• 46:49
  and stuff like that?
• 46:50
  I thought he brought up good
• 46:51
  points on the step-ups and
• 46:53
  his concerns with the
• 46:56
  standards and it being
• 46:58
  across all lanes being fair.
• 47:00
  It looked like Dave was like, yep,
• 47:03
  those are great points and
• 47:04
  stuff like that.
• 47:06
  I wouldn't be surprised to
• 47:07
  see the step over if that
• 47:10
  was the case or something like that.
• 47:12
  It seemed like Dave
• 47:13
  acknowledged his concern and
• 47:15
  is thinking of ways that that will happen.
• 47:19
  Yeah.
• 47:19
  I thought it was a great discussion.
• 47:20
  I feel like they could keep
• 47:21
  going on for a long time,
• 47:23
  but they kept it to 30 minutes.
• 47:28
  Yeah.
• 47:29
  You know, me, you know,
• 47:30
  Pat is like one of my
• 47:31
  favorite CrossFitters.
• 47:35
  I loved it.
• 47:36
  Yeah.
• 47:36
  It was my favorite interview.
• 47:39
  But yeah, I, I couldn't tell.
• 47:40
  I could like, I totally agree.
• 47:43
  dave agreed with with scott
• 47:46
  with pat but I don't know
• 47:47
  that he I don't know that
• 47:51
  that means that it won't
• 47:52
  still be step ups and it is
• 47:53
  what it is and like I don't
• 47:57
  know but if you look at how
• 48:00
  the athletes are moving
• 48:01
  online like I still don't
• 48:02
  think it's that great I
• 48:04
  agree I agree leaving it up
• 48:07
  to the judges and letting
• 48:10
  Letting a workout be
• 48:11
  determined by a judge is not right.
• 48:14
  And I don't know if Dave is, like,
• 48:17
  trying to see if he can get
• 48:21
  these judges in line and make an event,
• 48:23
  like, be judged properly.
• 48:24
  Or, like Scott has said,
• 48:27
  want to double down on this.
• 48:28
  I'm going to show you how to do it right.
• 48:29
  I think he acknowledged Pat very well.
• 48:34
  And he was like, yep, you're right.
• 48:36
  But I don't know what that means.
• 48:40
  we're going to change it.
• 48:41
  Ken Walter says Pat has
• 48:43
  concerns with almost every event.
• 48:46
  He's definitely one of the more vocal ones,
• 48:48
  him and Brent at every briefing,
• 48:51
  they always have questions
• 48:54
  or concerns on some of the things,
• 48:56
  but it's because they want a fair,
• 48:57
  a fair competition.
• 48:59
  So like every time we have briefings,
• 49:01
  like Pat's always bringing
• 49:02
  up possible cheating ways just to be like,
• 49:06
  make sure everyone knows
• 49:07
  that that's wrong type thing,
• 49:08
  which I mean,
• 49:10
  It's nice to have someone
• 49:11
  speak up at briefings that
• 49:12
  just has so much experience.
• 49:13
  And I think that's what I
• 49:14
  took away from the interview as well,
• 49:15
  is it was two people that
• 49:17
  have a lot of experience in
• 49:18
  our sports just chatting away.
• 49:20
  Yeah.
• 49:22
  You have this comment in
• 49:23
  there about Haley's interview,
• 49:25
  and I didn't do it justice
• 49:26
  when we talked about it,
• 49:27
  but she said it perfectly.
• 49:31
  And, like, I didn't mind the workout,
• 49:34
  but this is what I said
• 49:35
  when we talked about it last week.
• 49:36
  I don't think you can
• 49:37
  bastardize the workout.
• 49:38
  Like, it's a workout that means something,
• 49:40
  and I don't want to see it changed.
• 49:42
  That's my biggest issue.
• 49:43
  Like, I get Pat's concern, but it's Chad.
• 49:48
  It's for something.
• 49:50
  It's step-ups.
• 49:51
  Do them right.
• 49:54
  I think Pat has embraced the
• 49:56
  get off your lawn character
• 49:59
  and loves living that life.
• 50:03
  I'm the grumpy old man on
• 50:04
  the porch and I want
• 50:06
  everybody off my lawn.
• 50:08
  But Haley brought up a
• 50:09
  really good point that this,
• 50:10
  this workout means
• 50:12
  something to a lot of people.
• 50:13
  And after struggling with
• 50:14
  mental health over the last year,
• 50:17
  she thinks it's
• 50:18
  disrespectful to challenge
• 50:20
  what it is and what it means.
• 50:23
  And while I don't think,
• 50:26
  I think Pat was just being
• 50:27
  Pat and not like trying to
• 50:29
  take away its meaning.
• 50:31
  He just is thinking about
• 50:32
  the sport and the competition.
• 50:34
  Absolutely.
• 50:35
  Yeah.
• 50:36
  But this is also my concern
• 50:38
  when we talked about this,
• 50:39
  like doing hero workouts
• 50:41
  for speed at the games
• 50:42
  versus doing hero workouts
• 50:44
  at your gym and, you know,
• 50:46
  suffering with other people
• 50:47
  from the community and stuff like that.
• 50:48
  Like that's the difference
• 50:49
  between do you put those
• 50:50
  hero workouts on the line
• 50:54
  and skirt the line?
• 50:56
  Right.
• 50:57
  And like, I think if the twist is,
• 50:59
  you know,
• 51:00
  getting them away from the box too often,
• 51:02
  like you're also getting
• 51:03
  rid of that stimulus of
• 51:05
  that stamina of just steps, like step up,
• 51:08
  step up.
• 51:08
  Cause that changes the whole
• 51:10
  workout as well.
• 51:10
  If you start having, I don't know.
• 51:13
  pull-ups or something in between,
• 51:15
  something that you can do with a ruck.
• 51:17
  I mean, they could do a barbell,
• 51:19
  like one's a 45 men's barbell,
• 51:21
  one's a 35 barbell,
• 51:22
  and you're just holding it this way.
• 51:23
  Like, I don't know if it's an actual ruck,
• 51:25
  but the ruck would make
• 51:27
  sense just because of the sponsorship.
• 51:30
  But yeah,
• 51:31
  I do like the idea of keeping it
• 51:32
  as much as possible to the
• 51:35
  workout and what it was written as.
• 51:39
  What I thought was
• 51:39
  interesting is Haley put
• 51:40
  herself in the shoes of
• 51:42
  Chad's wife and his kids.
• 51:44
  There's this big honor that
• 51:47
  my husband or father's name,
• 51:49
  his workout is being used
• 51:50
  at the CrossFit Games and
• 51:52
  what that would mean to them.
• 51:54
  And hearing people
• 51:55
  disrespect the workout
• 51:58
  isn't good for them.
• 52:01
  And so I thought...
• 52:04
  it was an interesting,
• 52:04
  it was a take that I did
• 52:06
  not think about when I've
• 52:08
  been talking about it.
• 52:09
  And I,
• 52:10
  I'm glad she mentioned something
• 52:11
  about it because there are
• 52:13
  people associated with Chad
• 52:15
  and what it means and
• 52:17
  they're affected by
• 52:18
  everything we say about it.
• 52:20
  And what a cool feeling they
• 52:22
  would have that knowing this,
• 52:24
  their dad's workout is at
• 52:26
  the CrossFit games.
• 52:29
  Yeah.
• 52:33
  Vi says, Pat speaks his mind,
• 52:34
  and I love him for that.
• 52:35
  You won't catch him biting his tongue,
• 52:36
  and CrossFit has enough sycophants,
• 52:42
  so he brings good balance.
• 52:49
  I love his takes.
• 52:56
  Again, I love the character he's become.
• 52:59
  He is getting to be one of
• 53:01
  the elder statesmen,
• 53:02
  and people want to hear
• 53:04
  what he has to say.
• 53:06
  And I don't think he meant any disrespect.
• 53:10
  I don't think anybody did,
• 53:11
  but it is something to think about.
• 53:15
  Yeah.
• 53:17
  So, so anyway, with that last week,
• 53:20
  we talked about how at one
• 53:22
  point in my life,
• 53:24
  I was such a fan of Rich
• 53:25
  Froning that I tried to
• 53:27
  dress like him when I would
• 53:28
  do workouts and people said,
• 53:30
  we need to see the pics.
• 53:33
  So I have a few pics and I
• 53:34
  asked Jamie and Carolyn to share theirs.
• 53:40
  And so Jamie has one that's classic,
• 53:42
  but I'll let her,
• 53:44
  hers will come up later.
• 53:46
  So I'll start with mine and
• 53:47
  we'll go through.
• 53:49
  So this one is I did a 5K or
• 53:56
  5 miler and got long socks,
• 54:00
  the Nike free runs, the pink headband.
• 54:06
  Yeah.
• 54:08
  Excellent.
• 54:09
  I have a lot of pictures like that.
• 54:12
  and if I can figure out how
• 54:13
  to shrink the screen here
• 54:14
  we go uh this one is me
• 54:18
  carrying my buddy at a comp
• 54:20
  this one is me as rich
• 54:21
  really uh with the black
• 54:24
  headband the facial hair
• 54:26
  the rich running t-shirt I
• 54:27
  have the necklace right
• 54:29
  there uh so supporting that
• 54:32
  pretty good um here's carolyn
• 54:37
  I couldn't find anything.
• 54:38
  I don't have anything from back then.
• 54:40
  I just used to always wear
• 54:41
  high stance socks all the time.
• 54:44
  But you got the wrist wraps.
• 54:46
  Yeah.
• 54:47
  You got the nanos going.
• 54:49
  Chalk everywhere.
• 54:50
  Yeah, I had nanos, all of them,
• 54:52
  every single pair.
• 54:53
  This was Carolyn's first competition.
• 54:57
  Wow.
• 54:57
  That would be one.
• 54:59
  I think that's the last time
• 55:01
  that you'll see me in a sports bra.
• 55:02
  I think I just was following
• 55:03
  what everyone does in CrossFit.
• 55:05
  So that's why I sent it.
• 55:06
  I'm like,
• 55:06
  I will never be in a sports bra
• 55:08
  at a competition ever.
• 55:09
  You won't find me.
• 55:10
  I'm in a t-shirt or tank top.
• 55:13
  Are those Nike lifters in the sand?
• 55:16
  I don't even know.
• 55:16
  I think they're running
• 55:17
  shoes at that point.
• 55:18
  And then I switched to
• 55:19
  Reeboks for the rest, basically.
• 55:25
  I know I have some more here.
• 55:27
  Uh, Oh, this one is pretty good one.
• 55:30
  Oh, that's a good one.
• 55:32
  Yeah.
• 55:32
  The red headband, the red shirt.
• 55:36
  I still wear a headband
• 55:37
  every single time I work out.
• 55:38
  So like, Oh,
• 55:39
  find pictures of the headbands
• 55:40
  or something.
• 55:41
  That's me every day.
• 55:43
  I wear my junk headband all the time.
• 55:46
  And then we have, we have Jamie.
• 55:49
  taped up the rock tape, like crazy.
• 55:52
  Um, the headband, the bright green shoes,
• 55:56
  the tall socks.
• 56:00
  Yeah, I have so many,
• 56:01
  I still have all my tall
• 56:03
  socks of every color to
• 56:04
  match every outfit.
• 56:05
  And I actually,
• 56:06
  I like wearing tall socks
• 56:08
  so that I don't always have
• 56:09
  to pull my knee sleeves down.
• 56:10
  And cause I dragged the
• 56:12
  barbell right along my shins.
• 56:14
  Um, so I, I still have my tall socks.
• 56:16
  I like them.
• 56:16
  I'm used to them from running.
• 56:18
  Um,
• 56:19
  I just always had like either tall
• 56:21
  socks or compression.
• 56:23
  I wanted to feel this one
• 56:24
  because I wanted to say my
• 56:26
  front rack has gotten so
• 56:27
  much better since this pick.
• 56:29
  So much better.
• 56:31
  But the board shorts,
• 56:31
  the Rogue Fitness board shorts,
• 56:33
  the rock tape on the knees, the grips.
• 56:36
  There we go.
• 56:37
  The necklace right there.
• 56:38
  Yeah.
• 56:40
  But my front rack is so much better.
• 56:41
  Trust me.
• 56:42
  So I actually stretch before
• 56:44
  I work out now.
• 56:45
  That's good.
• 56:48
  So anyway, that was fun.
• 56:50
  And if you guys have any of that stuff.
• 56:53
  like shoot it to us and tag
• 56:55
  us on Instagram.
• 56:56
  We'd love to share it.
• 56:58
  Cause we all like went down
• 56:59
  that road a while back.
• 57:01
  Right.
• 57:03
  Judy gets it.
• 57:05
  Send us your tall socks, Judy.
• 57:11
  I did cross it when the tall socks were in,
• 57:12
  but I wish they were still a thing.
• 57:14
  You can still wear them, Judy.
• 57:16
  I still do.
• 57:18
  Judy.
• 57:18
  I did not get the Galatians tattoo.
• 57:25
  um so then what we have next
• 57:30
  is our rankings I'm the
• 57:35
  only person that's seen all
• 57:36
  three lists I've changed
• 57:38
  mine five times since I got
• 57:40
  back from vacation I wrote
• 57:43
  mine in five minutes I'm
• 57:46
  not honestly I didn't try
• 57:47
  to think about it too much
• 57:48
  because I know a lot of
• 57:49
  these competitors obviously and it
• 57:52
  I don't know.
• 57:53
  I didn't want to think about it too much.
• 57:54
  That was my first quick glance at it.
• 57:58
  And same Carolyn.
• 58:00
  I,
• 58:00
  I think I could probably make an
• 58:02
  argument with looking at
• 58:03
  the order of events that we
• 58:04
  know so far and maybe
• 58:06
  making some adjustments,
• 58:07
  but I just like threw mine
• 58:08
  down and I'm like, we're going with this.
• 58:09
  This is basically my list
• 58:10
  that I submitted to help
• 58:11
  him for any events.
• 58:12
  So, um, yeah, I think.
• 58:15
  I feel like,
• 58:18
  unsure from 22 to 13 12-ish
• 58:25
  and then I i don't feel
• 58:26
  sure from like eight to
• 58:28
  three yeah I mean it all
• 58:32
  depends on the workouts so
• 58:33
  freaking hard it does john
• 58:35
  young just jumped in he
• 58:36
  knows how hard this stuff
• 58:37
  is before any events so hard
• 58:42
  The thing that's tough is
• 58:42
  you don't know injuries
• 58:43
  going into the competitions.
• 58:44
  You don't know people's mindsets.
• 58:46
  There's so many factors,
• 58:47
  like what the workouts are,
• 58:48
  that makes it hard to pick the order.
• 58:55
  Last year,
• 58:55
  as soon as I was doing the demo
• 58:57
  and I knew what the workouts were,
• 58:58
  I could, in my head,
• 58:59
  pick certain athletes.
• 59:00
  But if I don't know all the workouts,
• 59:02
  it's just harder because
• 59:03
  you know what their
• 59:04
  strengths and weaknesses are.
• 59:07
  I still feel fine with my list.
• 59:09
  I just feel confident.
• 59:12
  um so back yeah huge
• 59:14
  congrats to john young his
• 59:17
  wife they found out that
• 59:18
  they're having a little
• 59:19
  girl um so super congrats
• 59:22
  to john young on that and
• 59:24
  will we appreciate it hit a
• 59:26
  like for that youtube
• 59:27

• 59:35
  I was a girl dad.
• 59:36
  I still am.
• 59:37
  My little girl is 22 years old,
• 59:39
  turning 23 this week.
• 59:41
  So, yeah.
• 59:44
  You will love it.
• 59:45
  It's been the best 23 years of my life.
• 59:48
  My dad was a five-time girl dad.
• 59:51
  All girls?
• 59:53
  Five girls.
• 1:00:00
  So, all right.
• 1:00:01
  Here we go.
• 1:00:03
  We'll share the list.
• 1:00:10
  And I am going to try to blow.
• 1:00:15
  It's not going to blow up.
• 1:00:16
  Shoot.
• 1:00:18
  Go full screen.
• 1:00:21
  I'm in Canva to do this so I can go from.
• 1:00:25
  John says, goodness, Carolyn,
• 1:00:27
  the stuff of nightmares.
• 1:00:29
  That's a lot of estrogen in one house.
• 1:00:32
  This is 31 to 40 and I'll
• 1:00:34
  blow it up so you can just see our lists.
• 1:00:36
  You don't need the header, right?
• 1:00:38
  No.
• 1:00:39
  So
• 1:00:41
  We will go with Jamie's first.
• 1:00:43
  She has Gemma Rader in 40th, DeJuan Young,
• 1:00:46
  39th, Georgia Pryor, 38th,
• 1:00:48
  Andrea Pinheiro, 37th, Daisy McDonald,
• 1:00:51
  36th, Shung Young Choi, 35th,
• 1:00:53
  Kyra Milligan, 34th, Chloe Govan David,
• 1:00:57
  33, 32, Claudia Gluck, and 31,
• 1:00:59
  Victoria Campos.
• 1:01:03
  Carolyn, you want to read yours?
• 1:01:04
  Because that's a lot.
• 1:01:07
  my eyes.
• 1:01:10
  40 is Raider, then Dwan Jung,
• 1:01:14
  then the Brazilians, both of them,
• 1:01:20
  Daisy McDonald, Georgia Pryor,
• 1:01:22
  Victoria Campos, Caroline Stanley,
• 1:01:25
  Lexi Neely, and Linda Kiesman.
• 1:01:29
  And I rounded out with Pinheiro last,
• 1:01:32
  Gemma Raider 39th,
• 1:01:34
  Georgia Pryor, then DeJuan Young,
• 1:01:36
  Daisy McDonald, Kyra Milligan, Julia Cato,
• 1:01:39
  Lexi Neely, Jacqueline Dahlstrom,
• 1:01:42
  and Victoria Campos.
• 1:01:47
  I cannot put Pinero any higher than 40th.
• 1:01:51
  The fact that you know
• 1:01:52
  she... It's pretty clear
• 1:01:55
  she's been on something,
• 1:01:58
  and you don't think she's going to...
• 1:02:01
  use that to finish higher than she,
• 1:02:04
  than you have her.
• 1:02:06
  I think, I don't care.
• 1:02:08
  I don't care.
• 1:02:08
  I won the, first of all,
• 1:02:10
  the first event is going to
• 1:02:11
  be terrible for her.
• 1:02:12
  And I thank goodness.
• 1:02:13
  Very true.
• 1:02:14
  And she's going to get off to a bad start.
• 1:02:16
  And I just hope it continues that way.
• 1:02:17
  Cause I do think she is
• 1:02:19
  using stuff and I don't
• 1:02:21
  want to give her any credit
• 1:02:22
  for any more than that.
• 1:02:26
  I have a question for
• 1:02:26
  Carolyn about Caroline Stanley.
• 1:02:28
  I can't believe she has her down this low.
• 1:02:35
  I don't know.
• 1:02:37
  Every year there's one or two people that,
• 1:02:40
  like last year, where did she finish?
• 1:02:42
  In the 30s?
• 1:02:47
  The 20s?
• 1:02:48
  High 20s?
• 1:02:50
  I'm not sure.
• 1:02:51
  I think there's some times
• 1:02:52
  where you can't predict some weekends.
• 1:02:56
  I was stuck with that at the end.
• 1:02:59
  So that's my Jacqueline Dahlstrom pick.
• 1:03:02
  Someone always ends up down
• 1:03:03
  there and that's my pick.
• 1:03:05
  I had Jacqueline around the 29 at first.
• 1:03:08
  And then I,
• 1:03:09
  I just know that she's often
• 1:03:10
  been in the late teens.
• 1:03:12
  So then I last decision just
• 1:03:15
  switch some people around, but yeah.
• 1:03:17
  Do I think Stanley can finish much higher?
• 1:03:19
  Yeah.
• 1:03:19
  I think Stanley can get close to 20.
• 1:03:21
  Yeah.
• 1:03:24
  I don't know.
• 1:03:24
  Like I,
• 1:03:25
  I think she's probably between 24 and 30,
• 1:03:29
  but when I did my rankings quickly,
• 1:03:31
  didn't think about it twice.
• 1:03:32
  Just,
• 1:03:34
  kept going.
• 1:03:36
  Yeah.
• 1:03:38
  Trend don't float, Jamie.
• 1:03:40
  That's true.
• 1:03:41
  Event one will not be good for her.
• 1:03:43
  And the mile run won't be good for her.
• 1:03:45
  So she's got a couple there that.
• 1:03:50
  And Lynn, this is, this is overall,
• 1:03:51
  this is how we think
• 1:03:52
  they're going to finish
• 1:03:53
  with very limited
• 1:03:54
  information at this year's
• 1:03:57
  CrossFit games.
• 1:03:57
  Yeah.
• 1:04:04
  Jamie,
• 1:04:04
  you and I both have Kyra Milligan
• 1:04:05
  down low.
• 1:04:08
  I saw some comments in there.
• 1:04:11
  I don't think these first
• 1:04:12
  events stack up for her very well at all.
• 1:04:15
  That doesn't mean that the others won't.
• 1:04:20
  Plus,
• 1:04:21
  because of the situation with underdogs,
• 1:04:23
  they have put her in a
• 1:04:24
  place where massive change
• 1:04:26
  one month out of the games.
• 1:04:29
  I don't think that's good for competition.
• 1:04:34
  so yeah I don't know I just
• 1:04:36
  feel like there's other
• 1:04:37
  people fitter than her I i
• 1:04:40
  think I mean it doesn't
• 1:04:41
  matter they're not there
• 1:04:42
  but I just think like if
• 1:04:43
  she would have been in the
• 1:04:43
  east I don't she wouldn't
• 1:04:44
  be going yeah so let's move
• 1:04:49
  on to the next 10 um jamie
• 1:04:53
  you want to go through your
• 1:04:54
  list can you see them
• 1:04:57
  Yeah, Linda Caseman, 30, Lexi Neely,
• 1:05:01
  Caroline Stanley, Julia Cato, Sahar Kaya,
• 1:05:05
  Alisa Fuliano, Hattie Cagno, Amy Kringle,
• 1:05:10
  Danny Spiegel, Jacqueline Dahlstrom.
• 1:05:14
  Caroline?
• 1:05:16
  Choi, Hattie, 29, Kyra, Claudia Gluck,
• 1:05:23
  Sahar Kaya,
• 1:05:25
  in 26.
• 1:05:26
  Juliano in 25.
• 1:05:29
  Chloe in 24.
• 1:05:32
  Bethany, I just don't know with her back.
• 1:05:34
  She can be anywhere from
• 1:05:35
  close to top 10 and I have no idea.
• 1:05:38
  We never know with her.
• 1:05:40
  Danny Spiegel and then Amy Kringle.
• 1:05:45
  And I go 30.
• 1:05:47
  Now here's going to be the shocker.
• 1:05:49
  Claudia Gluck in 30th.
• 1:05:50
  Maddie Sturt, 29th.
• 1:05:52
  Chung Young Choi, 28th.
• 1:05:54
  Linda Kiesman, 27th.
• 1:05:56
  Brooke Wells, 26th.
• 1:05:56
  Emma McQuaid, 25th.
• 1:05:58
  Sahir Kaya, 24th.
• 1:05:59
  Grace Walton, 23rd.
• 1:05:59
  Shelby Neal, 22nd.
• 1:06:00
  Elisa Fuliano, 21st.
• 1:06:00
  Wow.
• 1:06:12
  Yeah, I have Brooke in 26th.
• 1:06:13
  I know that's probably going
• 1:06:14
  to create some fuss and muss,
• 1:06:17
  but there's always bigger
• 1:06:19
  names down the list,
• 1:06:20
  and you have to pick somebody.
• 1:06:21
  She had an injury at the
• 1:06:24
  beginning of the year.
• 1:06:24
  I don't know what toll
• 1:06:26
  that's taken on her training.
• 1:06:27
  She looked good at semis,
• 1:06:28
  but the games is a different story.
• 1:06:35
  So, yeah.
• 1:06:36
  Yeah.
• 1:06:38
  And Emma McQuaid has not
• 1:06:40
  been able to train much this year.
• 1:06:42
  So as much as I like her and
• 1:06:44
  I think she's typically a teens athlete,
• 1:06:47
  like in that teen area,
• 1:06:49
  I just think she may fall
• 1:06:50
  off a little bit.
• 1:06:53
  And when I looked at the Australians,
• 1:06:54
  they're all here and below.
• 1:06:56
  I just don't think the field
• 1:06:58
  was that tough in Australia this year.
• 1:07:00
  So I just don't know enough about them.
• 1:07:04
  Yeah, I can see that.
• 1:07:06
  Someone commented about me
• 1:07:07
  having Claudia Gluck too low.
• 1:07:10
  You guys, I mean,
• 1:07:11
  you guys only ever a couple
• 1:07:12
  of places higher than me.
• 1:07:15
  I mean, Scott,
• 1:07:16
  you had her 30th and Carolyn
• 1:07:18
  has her 27th.
• 1:07:19
  I had her 32nd.
• 1:07:21
  Like you're almost,
• 1:07:21
  that's almost like the same spot.
• 1:07:25
  Yeah.
• 1:07:26
  Cause you really have to
• 1:07:26
  look at everything in tears.
• 1:07:29
  Yeah.
• 1:07:31
  like I had the hardest time
• 1:07:33
  23rd up and that's why I
• 1:07:35
  went grace walton first
• 1:07:36
  because I don't know how
• 1:07:38
  tough that field was in
• 1:07:39
  australia so yeah danny is
• 1:07:46
  is a tough one for me with
• 1:07:48
  the running to start the
• 1:07:50
  weekend this is where I
• 1:07:51
  like I almost want to redo
• 1:07:52
  this when we know the know
• 1:07:54
  the event like know all the events
• 1:07:57
  In my head when I was doing this,
• 1:07:58
  I was like,
• 1:07:59
  this could be a tough start for her,
• 1:08:01
  but I got to think there's
• 1:08:02
  going to be something heavy
• 1:08:03
  in there or something that
• 1:08:04
  she's going to excel at to
• 1:08:06
  kind of make the start of
• 1:08:07
  the weekend somewhat balanced.
• 1:08:10
  But yeah,
• 1:08:12
  she was one of the tougher ones for me.
• 1:08:14
  And depending on the sprint event,
• 1:08:16
  like she's more of a sprinter.
• 1:08:18
  Um,
• 1:08:18
  and if you add a heavy implement there
• 1:08:22
  while you're sprinting or a sled and,
• 1:08:24
  and something,
• 1:08:25
  she could do well there and
• 1:08:27
  take a hit maybe on the mile,
• 1:08:28
  but she's an explosive
• 1:08:30
  athlete and she's an
• 1:08:30
  athlete at the end of the day.
• 1:08:31
  Um,
• 1:08:32
  probably one of the better pure
• 1:08:33
  athletes in the field.
• 1:08:35
  So, um, she is very hard cause you know,
• 1:08:37
  in certain events she'll, she'll struggle,
• 1:08:40
  but she also always has
• 1:08:41
  wheelhouse events.
• 1:08:42
  So somewhere in the middle, um,
• 1:08:45
  Is normally a safe bet.
• 1:08:50
  A hundred points is a lot.
• 1:08:52
  She has the capability of
• 1:08:53
  getting a hundred points a
• 1:08:55
  couple of times.
• 1:08:56
  Agreed.
• 1:08:57
  Right.
• 1:08:57
  And that's when I get into
• 1:08:59
  this tier and you're going to see, like,
• 1:09:01
  I don't have her that much
• 1:09:02
  higher than you guys,
• 1:09:04
  but when you can get a hundred points,
• 1:09:06
  like that makes a huge deal
• 1:09:07
  on this leaderboard.
• 1:09:10
  And I looked at it as,
• 1:09:11
  I don't think Shelby Neal
• 1:09:12
  and Elisa Fuliano have the home run.
• 1:09:15
  Fuliano was a sprinter.
• 1:09:19
  What did you say, Fuliano?
• 1:09:21
  She was a 100-meter sprinter.
• 1:09:23
  Yeah.
• 1:09:27
  She's a hundred meters sprinter.
• 1:09:29
  She got second.
• 1:09:30
  Fuliano got second on a
• 1:09:31
  handstand walk event last, last year.
• 1:09:33
  And she's a 100 meter
• 1:09:35
  sprinter as a background.
• 1:09:36
  So I wouldn't put it past
• 1:09:37
  her that she can get a top
• 1:09:38
  three on an event.
• 1:09:40
  If it was a pure gymnastics thing,
• 1:09:42
  she's gray on her hands.
• 1:09:45
  I know she takes like,
• 1:09:47
  she took second in the handstand event.
• 1:09:49
  Like she's good on her hands.
• 1:09:51
  I just, yeah,
• 1:09:53
  that was my thought process anyway,
• 1:09:54
  through this whole thing.
• 1:09:56
  I'm shocked you have Brooke Solo.
• 1:10:01
  I just... Her body got held
• 1:10:05
  up year after year.
• 1:10:07
  JR changed my mind a little
• 1:10:08
  bit on her because she has
• 1:10:10
  been training with Hopper
• 1:10:12
  and I saw a few things and I don't know.
• 1:10:16
  Just how highly he spoke.
• 1:10:19
  I think she's been getting
• 1:10:20
  better and better since the open.
• 1:10:23
  I think she looked
• 1:10:24
  surprisingly good at semis,
• 1:10:26
  and I think she's only
• 1:10:27
  going to improve whatever
• 1:10:30
  her labrum that she was
• 1:10:31
  protecting up through the open.
• 1:10:33
  I think she's just improving.
• 1:10:36
  But any time you can get
• 1:10:37
  close to 100 points at the games,
• 1:10:39
  it's so huge because you're
• 1:10:41
  not middling any of those
• 1:10:42
  top girls very often.
• 1:10:44
  So any time you can get 80-plus points –
• 1:10:49
  you're almost getting close
• 1:10:50
  to the top 20 if you can
• 1:10:52
  get one or two of those.
• 1:10:53
  And some of these athletes like Spiegel,
• 1:10:58
  probably only Spiegel
• 1:10:58
  really in this list that
• 1:11:00
  has many home runs like that.
• 1:11:01
  I mean, Brooke could get a top five,
• 1:11:03
  but I don't know what Scott
• 1:11:05
  was thinking there.
• 1:11:05
  It is what it is.
• 1:11:11
  And there's things like,
• 1:11:17
  Every time I say this,
• 1:11:18
  it gets me in trouble in some ways.
• 1:11:20
  When you're scheduling these
• 1:11:21
  people and the stories they
• 1:11:23
  tell you back as to why
• 1:11:25
  they may not be able to come on,
• 1:11:27
  it affects the way I think
• 1:11:29
  about how they're going to
• 1:11:29
  perform in the upcoming event, right?
• 1:11:36
  And so with some of these athletes,
• 1:11:38
  that's happened.
• 1:11:43
  Now, Brooke Wells, everybody's saying,
• 1:11:44
  have you seen the Hopper video?
• 1:11:46
  I don't trust those videos anymore.
• 1:11:50
  Those videos are there to
• 1:11:51
  make sure that everybody looks good.
• 1:11:53
  Of course.
• 1:11:55
  Now,
• 1:11:55
  if Carolyn has inside information and
• 1:11:57
  knows times and this kind of stuff,
• 1:11:59
  that's more information than I have.
• 1:12:03
  I don't have that information,
• 1:12:04
  but I just know that
• 1:12:05
  they're finishing very
• 1:12:06
  similar basically every workout.
• 1:12:08
  Yeah.
• 1:12:08
  And, I mean,
• 1:12:09
  that could be a good thing or a bad thing,
• 1:12:10
  depending on where Hopper's at.
• 1:12:11
  Because, I mean,
• 1:12:12
  we put a lot of faith into
• 1:12:14
  him last year and saw what happened.
• 1:12:16
  But I think he is bound to
• 1:12:17
  have a better season,
• 1:12:18
  much better season this year,
• 1:12:21
  training with, you know, JR.
• 1:12:25
  Tune in next week to hear
• 1:12:26
  where Carolyn puts Hopper.
• 1:12:29
  Yeah.
• 1:12:31
  And John Young trying to rub
• 1:12:33
  salt in the wound and restart a rivalry.
• 1:12:35
  With next thing you know,
• 1:12:36
  he's going to say Saxon can
• 1:12:37
  win the games.
• 1:12:39
  You'll have to tune in next week, John,
• 1:12:40
  to find out where I have
• 1:12:42
  snacks and pan check.
• 1:12:47
  So, yeah.
• 1:12:48
  So let's move on to the top 20.
• 1:12:52
  And there,
• 1:12:53
  I'm going to go first this time.
• 1:12:55
  We'll go back the other way.
• 1:12:56
  I have Caroline Stanley in 20th,
• 1:12:58
  Danny Spiegel in 19th.
• 1:12:59
  Only a couple places higher
• 1:13:00
  than you guys ever.
• 1:13:01
  Bethany Flores,
• 1:13:02
  because every time I count her out,
• 1:13:03
  she somehow finishes.
• 1:13:05
  She never gets cut,
• 1:13:06
  and she always makes it to
• 1:13:07
  the next round.
• 1:13:08
  I agree.
• 1:13:08
  She just does.
• 1:13:10
  Amy Kringle, 17th.
• 1:13:11
  Chloe, Govind, David, 16th.
• 1:13:13
  Hattie Canio, 15th.
• 1:13:15
  Karen Freyova, 14th.
• 1:13:16
  Paige Samenza, 13th.
• 1:13:17
  Emily Rolfe, 12th.
• 1:13:18
  Haley Adams, 11th.
• 1:13:22
  Nice.
• 1:13:25
  I'll go, I guess.
• 1:13:26
  I have Paige Samenza in 20th,
• 1:13:29
  Jacqueline Dahlstrom in 19th.
• 1:13:32
  Grace Walton as my highest
• 1:13:34
  finishing rookie, I believe, in 18th.
• 1:13:38
  Maddie Sturt in 17th.
• 1:13:40
  Shelby Neal,
• 1:13:41
  very impressed with her at the
• 1:13:42
  semifinals.
• 1:13:43
  I think she's on an upward trajectory.
• 1:13:45
  Emma McQuaid,
• 1:13:47
  I think that's a lot of times
• 1:13:48
  where she falls.
• 1:13:49
  Same with Emily Rolfe.
• 1:13:50
  I think Abigail is going to
• 1:13:51
  have a big bounce back year
• 1:13:54
  as her sophomore year in 13th.
• 1:13:56
  Freyova in 12th and Emma Tall in 11th.
• 1:14:02
  Nice.
• 1:14:02
  I feel like we're close on these ones,
• 1:14:03
  Scott.
• 1:14:06
  I have 20th, Shelby Neal, Bethany Flores,
• 1:14:09
  Madeline Sturt, Emma McQuaid,
• 1:14:11
  Grace Walton, Abigail Domet,
• 1:14:14
  Paige Semenza, Karen Freyova, Emily Rolfe,
• 1:14:17
  Brooke Wells.
• 1:14:21
  So you have Brooke a little
• 1:14:22
  higher than me.
• 1:14:23
  A little bit higher.
• 1:14:24
  Yeah.
• 1:14:27
  We haven't,
• 1:14:28
  we haven't seen Brooke on
• 1:14:29
  Carolyn's have we?
• 1:14:31
  Scott has athlete decline
• 1:14:32
  interview invitation bias when ranking.
• 1:14:34
  Yes, I do.
• 1:14:36
  And it's really their reason,
• 1:14:37
  not that they decline.
• 1:14:38
  It's the reason that they
• 1:14:39
  give me and Andrew Hiller
• 1:14:42
  would like me to drop their names,
• 1:14:44
  but if I ever want to get them on again,
• 1:14:45
  I'm not your names.
• 1:14:48
  You know, Andrew,
• 1:14:49
  my heart wanted to put
• 1:14:51
  Chloe higher and I had her
• 1:14:52
  as high as I think like
• 1:14:54
  17th or something.
• 1:14:55
  And the last minute switch
• 1:14:56
  of her industrial and a few others.
• 1:15:01
  But I do like that one.
• 1:15:03
  And someone said,
• 1:15:04
  I'm a tall at 11 is crazy.
• 1:15:08
  I had her inside the top 10
• 1:15:09
  and also switched her last minute.
• 1:15:12
  You have her 11th.
• 1:15:14
  Like, yeah, you're, you're right there.
• 1:15:17
  Yeah.
• 1:15:18
  I mean,
• 1:15:19
  I think she benefited a lot last
• 1:15:20
  year from how much upper
• 1:15:21
  body pulling there was at the games.
• 1:15:23
  And there was a whole like a shit ton.
• 1:15:25
  And like Pat had the best
• 1:15:26
  games that he could have had.
• 1:15:28
  He had some events that were
• 1:15:29
  given to him with the upper body pulls.
• 1:15:30
  And that's his strength.
• 1:15:31
  And he just ripped his hands,
• 1:15:33
  which sucked because that's
• 1:15:34
  one of his best things.
• 1:15:35
  Like he should have done
• 1:15:36
  better on the rope climb.
• 1:15:37
  And Emma Tall, I would say,
• 1:15:39
  is number one or number two,
• 1:15:40
  maybe behind Gazan right
• 1:15:42
  now in some of the upper body pulling.
• 1:15:44
  So I don't know if she
• 1:15:45
  finished 11th last year
• 1:15:46
  because of how much pulling there was.
• 1:15:49
  I still think she is
• 1:15:51
  extremely solid coming out
• 1:15:52
  of Europe and will be right
• 1:15:54
  where close to where she was last year.
• 1:15:58
  So whether she gets into the
• 1:16:00
  top 10 or right outside,
• 1:16:02
  I don't see her being too far away.
• 1:16:04
  She's very impressive.
• 1:16:06
  I think it's a great spot for her.
• 1:16:09
  Ken Walter says,
• 1:16:10
  because of Hiller's video dome,
• 1:16:11
  it will be higher than 12th
• 1:16:13
  if we're going by media stuff.
• 1:16:16
  Then Sarah Cooper,
• 1:16:16
  I think you're all high in
• 1:16:18
  Ralph based on the events released.
• 1:16:21
  This is my, this is not,
• 1:16:23
  mine is not based on the events released.
• 1:16:25
  She has improved every year.
• 1:16:26
  She's made it to the games last year.
• 1:16:29
  She took 13th.
• 1:16:31
  So this year she takes 12th.
• 1:16:34
  Yeah.
• 1:16:37
  That's all.
• 1:16:39
  And she's always been around like 15th,
• 1:16:41
  14th, 13th.
• 1:16:41
  She just keeps improving one
• 1:16:44
  spot every year.
• 1:16:48
  Lynn, Scott,
• 1:16:48
  the fact you have Amy Kringle
• 1:16:49
  above Spiegel, Shelby, Brooke,
• 1:16:51
  we need revision six of the list.
• 1:16:54
  I think what Amy did in
• 1:16:56
  Europe against that stack field, uh,
• 1:16:59
  deserve some notice.
• 1:17:00
  And so again, 23 through like 12 for me,
• 1:17:06
  11 maybe is all like one group of stuff.
• 1:17:11
  And just trying to figure out who you put,
• 1:17:12
  where I, I, and I said,
• 1:17:15
  I do not feel confident in
• 1:17:16
  any of these in here.
• 1:17:21
  Uh,
• 1:17:27
  John Young says, I have Emmett's all 11th.
• 1:17:29
  Yeah.
• 1:17:31
  Puts the men's in the top 10 just for me.
• 1:17:34
  I couldn't do it.
• 1:17:35
  As much as I love Paige.
• 1:17:37
  Yeah.
• 1:17:38
  I had to have her making the cut, though.
• 1:17:40
  I love Paige.
• 1:17:40
  Yeah, I have her 13th.
• 1:17:42
  I think she's going to do really good.
• 1:17:45
  I think she has a different
• 1:17:46
  mindset this year than she
• 1:17:47
  has in years past.
• 1:17:48
  And she's healthy, which is huge.
• 1:17:51
  So I have her making a big jump.
• 1:17:55
  Yeah, I have her 14.
• 1:17:56
  Thank you, Jonathan Ortega.
• 1:17:57
  Amy is more well-rounded
• 1:17:58
  than Danny in my mind.
• 1:18:02
  And you couldn't say that a year ago.
• 1:18:04
  Well-rounded, yes.
• 1:18:05
  I think our issue with Danny
• 1:18:07
  is she has the capability
• 1:18:08
  of getting two 100-point workouts.
• 1:18:11
  Amy's well-rounded,
• 1:18:12
  so if you don't have that
• 1:18:13
  ability to get 100 points.
• 1:18:15
  I think Amy is going to be
• 1:18:17
  competition in the run-swim.
• 1:18:20
  yeah the mile run like those
• 1:18:23
  things and she has a
• 1:18:24
  potential to hit some out
• 1:18:26
  of the park there yeah so
• 1:18:31
  uh anything else here no
• 1:18:36
  I'm surprised how similar
• 1:18:37
  this group of groupings is
• 1:18:39
  for us you had me thinking
• 1:18:41
  we were way off
• 1:18:43
  I do have Hattie higher than you guys, too,
• 1:18:45
  by like a lot.
• 1:18:47
  I think she's more
• 1:18:48
  well-rounded than people
• 1:18:49
  give her credit for.
• 1:18:51
  And she was winning the West
• 1:18:53
  with one event to go.
• 1:18:56
  I can see her up there.
• 1:18:57
  I have Abby.
• 1:18:58
  I have Doma at 15th.
• 1:19:00
  And I could see her
• 1:19:00
  somewhere around there.
• 1:19:02
  I had her like 24 hours ago.
• 1:19:05
  Yeah, I can see her up there.
• 1:19:07
  She's well-rounded.
• 1:19:08
  I just think a
• 1:19:09
  well-roundedness at the
• 1:19:10
  games is not where she was at the semis.
• 1:19:13
  Like over there at semis, if she's getting,
• 1:19:15
  let's say, a top five there,
• 1:19:16
  it might just be like a top 20 to 25.
• 1:19:18
  And to be honest,
• 1:19:19
  it just doesn't get that many points.
• 1:19:22
  And I just think being a rookie,
• 1:19:23
  it's hard to get inside that top 20.
• 1:19:26
  Very few do it in their first year.
• 1:19:28
  So I had her outside of the cut.
• 1:19:31
  Can she make the cut?
• 1:19:32
  Absolutely.
• 1:19:32
  I just think there's
• 1:19:33
  something to be said about
• 1:19:35
  a rookie year and just
• 1:19:36
  experiencing a whole field
• 1:19:38
  of 40 athletes where
• 1:19:40
  everyone's good and the
• 1:19:42
  volume's higher and stuff like that.
• 1:19:44
  A lot of these rookies have
• 1:19:45
  never had competitions like that.
• 1:19:46
  So I just think that's why I
• 1:19:49
  put her further up.
• 1:19:53
  Vi asks,
• 1:19:54
  is Amy a better runner than Emily?
• 1:19:55
  I don't know because I don't
• 1:19:56
  know if I've ever seen them
• 1:19:57
  compete against each other
• 1:19:58
  in a run of it.
• 1:20:01
  But that is their strong
• 1:20:02
  suit for both of them.
• 1:20:04
  They both did the, it's not running,
• 1:20:07
  but they both did the Dubai Tower, right?
• 1:20:09
  Emily was there?
• 1:20:11
  Yes.
• 1:20:12
  And Amy won that.
• 1:20:14
  So take that for what it's worth.
• 1:20:18
  And, you know,
• 1:20:19
  John has to say unequivocally no.
• 1:20:23
  That would be my first
• 1:20:24
  instinct is that Emily's
• 1:20:26
  the better runner.
• 1:20:30
  Yeah.
• 1:20:31
  But Amy's really, a really,
• 1:20:33
  really good runner.
• 1:20:33
  That is her strength.
• 1:20:35
  Um, so,
• 1:20:36
  but then you throw T is a really
• 1:20:38
  good runner too.
• 1:20:38
  So I don't know where they
• 1:20:40
  fall like Haley.
• 1:20:41
  Right.
• 1:20:41
  Exactly.
• 1:20:43
  Yeah.
• 1:20:43
  It's all going to be crazy there.
• 1:20:50
  Uh, John says,
• 1:20:51
  I know like I want it to Jamie.
• 1:20:53
  He ain't faster than Lazar.
• 1:20:54
  Right.
• 1:20:54
  I don't.
• 1:20:55
  Yeah.
• 1:20:55
  I'm not saying that's a running event.
• 1:20:57
  Um,
• 1:20:58
  It is interesting to look at
• 1:21:00
  it in comparison to Chad, though.
• 1:21:05
  All right.
• 1:21:05
  So here we go.
• 1:21:06
  Top 10.
• 1:21:06
  You want me to go?
• 1:21:11
  Yeah, you can go.
• 1:21:11
  Okay.
• 1:21:12
  I have Emma Tall, Danielle Brandon,
• 1:21:15
  Haley Adams, Ariel Lowen, Alexis Raptus,
• 1:21:18
  Emma Lawson, Alex Kazan, Gabby McGowan,
• 1:21:21
  Laura Horvath, Tia Toomey.
• 1:21:26
  Carolyn.
• 1:21:29
  Brooke Wells, Alex Gazan, Ariel Lowen,
• 1:21:32
  Haley Adams, Danielle Brandon,
• 1:21:34
  Alexis Raptus, Emma Lawson, Gabby Magala,
• 1:21:38
  Laura Horvath, and Tia Claire Toomey.
• 1:21:44
  I have Danielle Brandon, 10th, Abby Domet,
• 1:21:46
  9th, Emma Tall, 8th, Gabby Magala, 7th,
• 1:21:49
  Emma Lawson, Ariel Lowen, Alex Gazan,
• 1:21:53
  Alexis Raptus, Tia Claire Toomey,
• 1:21:56
  and Laura Horvath.
• 1:22:00
  I am shocked you moved
• 1:22:02
  Lawson down to sixth.
• 1:22:06
  If you would have saw the
• 1:22:07
  first draft of this,
• 1:22:08
  I would have been slaughtered on here.
• 1:22:13
  I had Haley higher at first as well,
• 1:22:17
  like closer towards the podium.
• 1:22:19
  So here's why Emma dropped for me, right?
• 1:22:23
  I have had Emma number one all year.
• 1:22:26
  Same.
• 1:22:26
  Until the last spin poll,
• 1:22:29
  I dropped her because of
• 1:22:30
  the mental health issues,
• 1:22:32
  and she dropped down.
• 1:22:35
  After listening to Alexis
• 1:22:36
  Raptus with Siobhan and with Dave,
• 1:22:40
  I feel like her mindset
• 1:22:42
  this year is different,
• 1:22:44
  and I've wanted to move her up.
• 1:22:48
  So then when that happened...
• 1:22:51
  I moved Raptors up a lot,
• 1:22:54
  and then I actually dropped
• 1:22:55
  her a little bit.
• 1:22:56
  So we settled here,
• 1:23:01
  and I have said all along
• 1:23:03
  that I don't think Tia's
• 1:23:04
  going to win the games,
• 1:23:05
  and I'm sticking to my guns,
• 1:23:07
  and I may die on this hill,
• 1:23:09
  but I have been consistent
• 1:23:10
  all year round.
• 1:23:13
  And Laura Horvath is coming
• 1:23:15
  in with an attitude, and I love it.
• 1:23:19
  I just hope she comes in
• 1:23:20
  with a couple of handstand pushups.
• 1:23:24
  Yeah.
• 1:23:26
  And Daniel Brandon,
• 1:23:26
  like I told you earlier
• 1:23:29
  with her media silence,
• 1:23:30
  I really thought about moving her way up,
• 1:23:32
  but there are so many good
• 1:23:33
  people after the top two,
• 1:23:35
  like where the hell do you put her?
• 1:23:37
  I, yeah, I don't know.
• 1:23:41
  So Karen has her pretty high.
• 1:23:43
  I think there's some good
• 1:23:45
  events for her so far right now.
• 1:23:47
  She's a great runner.
• 1:23:47
  She's a good swimmer.
• 1:23:49
  Um,
• 1:23:50
  some of these events that have been
• 1:23:52
  called out, like as long as she's healthy,
• 1:23:53
  like lower back wise,
• 1:23:54
  I know she's had issues in the past.
• 1:23:56
  If there's a heavy deadlift
• 1:23:57
  or something like that,
• 1:23:58
  she could struggle there,
• 1:23:59
  but I think she's a gamer.
• 1:24:02
  Um,
• 1:24:02
  I think she'll be in the best shape at
• 1:24:04
  the comp.
• 1:24:05
  Um,
• 1:24:05
  I've been very impressed with Alexis
• 1:24:07
  wrap this all year long.
• 1:24:09
  If she's healthy with her colitis, um,
• 1:24:12
  she's going to be vying for
• 1:24:13
  a podium spot.
• 1:24:14
  I think Gabby training with
• 1:24:16
  Laura this year has been, you know,
• 1:24:18
  nothing but positive and
• 1:24:19
  she's just getting better and better.
• 1:24:20
  Um, Haley being back in the field is,
• 1:24:24
  you know,
• 1:24:24
  like she's always within the top seven,
• 1:24:27
  closer even to top three.
• 1:24:30
  So I had Haley above Danielle at first,
• 1:24:34
  um,
• 1:24:35
  kept going back and forth,
• 1:24:37
  ultimately landed her there.
• 1:24:38
  But yeah,
• 1:24:39
  Haley's biggest weakness
• 1:24:40
  obviously is strength,
• 1:24:41
  but she's really good on the machines.
• 1:24:43
  She's a great runner, great, you know,
• 1:24:46
  gymnast, handstand walker, everything.
• 1:24:47
  So she'll, she'll be in the mix this year.
• 1:24:49
  I was sad to put Ariel and
• 1:24:53
  Gazan lower than probably a
• 1:24:56
  lot of people.
• 1:24:56
  But again, I just,
• 1:24:59
  with the amount of running
• 1:25:00
  I've seen so far,
• 1:25:01
  I don't think Gazan is as
• 1:25:02
  strong of a runner as some
• 1:25:03
  of the girls above her.
• 1:25:05
  I know Dave likes to program
• 1:25:07
  a lot of running events.
• 1:25:08
  There's always like four,
• 1:25:10
  five events out of the 12 to 15,
• 1:25:12
  let's call it 14 of the
• 1:25:14
  events that have substantial running.
• 1:25:19
  Although she's, you know,
• 1:25:20
  obviously getting better there.
• 1:25:22
  Ariel is so well-rounded,
• 1:25:23
  but I just think there's
• 1:25:24
  some other girls in the
• 1:25:26
  field that could be a
• 1:25:28
  little bit stronger in certain areas,
• 1:25:30
  but Ariel could finish higher again.
• 1:25:33
  She's always a sleeper pick.
• 1:25:34
  Like,
• 1:25:35
  Always great.
• 1:25:35
  And then Brooke has been
• 1:25:37
  looking good on social media.
• 1:25:39
  What does that mean?
• 1:25:40
  I have no idea.
• 1:25:41
  I flipped her and Emma tall last minute.
• 1:25:46
  Yeah.
• 1:25:47
  I mean, yeah,
• 1:25:47
  I think you and I have Brooke
• 1:25:48
  and Emma tall swapped.
• 1:25:50
  Like we're both right there.
• 1:25:54
  A dryer dagger says that I
• 1:25:56
  must be on some good stuff.
• 1:25:57
  Apparently I get accused of that a lot.
• 1:26:00
  Jamie gives me beyond crack too.
• 1:26:01
  So
• 1:26:03
  And then Vice says, good for you, Scott.
• 1:26:07
  Lynn, Scott, oh, man.
• 1:26:09
  Gabby, seventh.
• 1:26:10
  You sound like Tyler right now.
• 1:26:13
  I actually had Gabby higher
• 1:26:14
  at one point in this list.
• 1:26:17
  It just, gosh, it's hard.
• 1:26:21
  Lawson sounded tired,
• 1:26:22
  talked about her mental struggles.
• 1:26:23
  I thought so, too.
• 1:26:24
  Lawson's going to smash it.
• 1:26:27
  The only reason I have her
• 1:26:28
  off the podium is because Tia's back,
• 1:26:33
  laura's there and I think
• 1:26:34
  gabby just training
• 1:26:35
  alongside laura leading up
• 1:26:37
  to the games like that's it
• 1:26:39
  like lawson could could
• 1:26:41
  podium easily uh I think
• 1:26:43
  she's mentally strong I
• 1:26:45
  think it could be just
• 1:26:46
  taking a little bit of
• 1:26:46
  pressure off of her talking
• 1:26:47
  about the mental stuff but
• 1:26:50
  she's so well grounded
• 1:26:51
  she's she's a great athlete
• 1:26:52
  she's going to be right
• 1:26:53
  there for the podium and
• 1:26:55
  could honestly win as well
• 1:26:56
  too if anything happens with
• 1:26:59
  Something.
• 1:27:00
  Yeah.
• 1:27:02
  Ken Walter says Tia's never
• 1:27:03
  coming back on the show, Scott.
• 1:27:05
  Tia's never been on the show
• 1:27:06
  and she never gives me an interview.
• 1:27:08
  So I don't,
• 1:27:10
  I feel no allegiance to pick her first.
• 1:27:14
  John Young picks it.
• 1:27:15
  Carolyn, Jamie, Scott.
• 1:27:19
  Not Sean.
• 1:27:20
  Sean hates me.
• 1:27:25
  Tia can't be beat.
• 1:27:28
  Ha said with love,
• 1:27:29
  Tyler will take it as a compliment.
• 1:27:34
  Kenneth says,
• 1:27:34
  I don't know who needs to hear this,
• 1:27:35
  but Ariel is winning the games.
• 1:27:37
  She's bringing the fiddle
• 1:27:38
  back to United States.
• 1:27:39
  Oh, glory.
• 1:27:39
  We waving in the top spot on the,
• 1:27:42
  of the podium this year.
• 1:27:44
  Now that guy's on some stuff.
• 1:27:47
  That's a big ask, but you know, the thing,
• 1:27:50
  the order of, of these girls,
• 1:27:52
  like these athletes, this top 10 is,
• 1:27:54
  is so strong.
• 1:27:56
  And, and,
• 1:27:56
  it's really gonna depend
• 1:27:58
  what the events are and
• 1:28:01
  what the order will be because
• 1:28:03
  besides maybe the top couple,
• 1:28:07
  it can go either way.
• 1:28:09
  They all have wheelhouse workouts.
• 1:28:10
  They can all win workouts.
• 1:28:12
  It's gonna be really
• 1:28:13
  exciting to watch these athletes.
• 1:28:15
  I'd be surprised to see
• 1:28:16
  someone outside of this list podium,
• 1:28:21
  but yeah, they're all great.
• 1:28:23
  And I expect a big battle
• 1:28:25
  between this group in a couple of weeks.
• 1:28:29
  John Young says,
• 1:28:29
  y'all trying to temper
• 1:28:30
  expectations on Emma Lawson
• 1:28:31
  for her mental health.
• 1:28:33
  Correct.
• 1:28:33
  Yes, that's it.
• 1:28:36
  Lynn agrees with Carolyn about Kazan.
• 1:28:38
  With Dave programming,
• 1:28:39
  I'm seeing a lot of long,
• 1:28:40
  grindy workouts.
• 1:28:41
  I haven't seen her excel in those.
• 1:28:45
  And again,
• 1:28:47
  last year had a lot of upper
• 1:28:48
  body pulling.
• 1:28:50
  Yep.
• 1:28:51
  And that was a fifth place
• 1:28:53
  for her last year or fourth?
• 1:28:55
  I don't remember, fifth or fourth.
• 1:28:59
  I don't know.
• 1:29:03
  Like I don't see them having
• 1:29:04
  a max snatch after having
• 1:29:06
  it at semifinals,
• 1:29:07
  but her raw strength is as
• 1:29:09
  strong as anyone as we've seen, you know,
• 1:29:11
  her deadlift strength and
• 1:29:12
  her pressing strength.
• 1:29:15
  Yeah, she can finish higher too.
• 1:29:18
  I have no idea.
• 1:29:19
  John Young says, Tia Laura Lawson,
• 1:29:21
  Gazan Gabby wrapped his bucket.
• 1:29:25
  that's more in order with
• 1:29:26
  mine john but whatever you
• 1:29:28
  can say carolyn's is better
• 1:29:33
  um wow so many comments I
• 1:29:37
  know I can't even keep up
• 1:29:39
  at this point I you know
• 1:29:45
  what we'll put it all in
• 1:29:46
  heat one app and once we
• 1:29:48
  know the events and we'll see who's the
• 1:29:51
  Yeah, and hopefully I can get, yeah,
• 1:29:54
  this one I can at least do
• 1:29:54
  at the beginning of the

  weekend and not have to worry about it.
• 1:29:58
  It's the shot caller that I
• 1:30:00
  always have trouble getting my picks in.
• 1:30:02
  Right.
• 1:30:07
  Man.
• 1:30:08
  I beat John Young last year
• 1:30:09
  at the games at the shot caller.
• 1:30:14
  Just throwing it out there.
• 1:30:15
  I think so.
• 1:30:16
  Or maybe I was too.
• 1:30:17
  I thought I did.
• 1:30:18
  Random question.
• 1:30:19
  Have we seen Magala and
• 1:30:20
  Laura swim at the games ever,
• 1:30:22
  not paddling which years?
• 1:30:27
  Just a swim?
• 1:30:28
  That's a good question.
• 1:30:30
  Was there... Well,
• 1:30:33
  they did the flipper swim into the kayak.
• 1:30:37
  Yeah.
• 1:30:40
  I want to say,
• 1:30:41
  wasn't Laura at... What was
• 1:30:43
  Laura's first year?
• 1:30:46
  2018.
• 1:30:46
  2018.
• 1:30:47
  Wasn't there regular swim that year?
• 1:30:53
  Or was that the paddle?
• 1:30:55
  Was that the... Yeah, I don't know.
• 1:30:58
  I'd have to go look.
• 1:31:03
  That sounds like a shirt.
• 1:31:04
  Better double check if
• 1:31:05
  you're going to throw
• 1:31:06
  accusations like that, girl.
• 1:31:10
  I was close to you.
• 1:31:10
  That's all I know.
• 1:31:11
  Yeah.
• 1:31:20
  2018 Madison triples.
• 1:31:26
  Which was the run.
• 1:31:28
  Yeah.
• 1:31:29
  Try plus.
• 1:31:33
  Yeah.
• 1:31:34
  I don't know.
• 1:31:36
  I was there.
• 1:31:37
  I like can picture going out there.
• 1:31:39
  I don't know.
• 1:31:42
  So what I'll do is I'll post
• 1:31:44
  all these graphics out onto
• 1:31:46
  Instagram so you can check
• 1:31:47
  them out slowly and then bash us.
• 1:31:51
  Yes.
• 1:31:52
  That's just all you want in
• 1:31:53
  the comments or on
• 1:31:56
  Instagram as we put those out there.
• 1:32:01
  What I love is every time I
• 1:32:02
  put them out there,
• 1:32:03
  it's the coaches that come hard.
• 1:32:07
  Coaches come so hard.
• 1:32:10
  So they're.
• 1:32:13
  All right.
• 1:32:13
  What do I do to finish this thing up?
• 1:32:16
  I just feel like I'm friends
• 1:32:17
  with some of them,
• 1:32:18
  so it's hard to place them.
• 1:32:23
  It's hard.
• 1:32:24
  I want Hattie to finish top 10.
• 1:32:29
  Yeah, she's in your camp.
• 1:32:31
  I know.
• 1:32:31
  Yeah.
• 1:32:36
  All right, well, I'll pull this down.
• 1:32:38
  I had one question left,
• 1:32:39
  but we're past the 90 minutes.
• 1:32:41
  We'll bring it up next week.
• 1:32:43
  It's a great question that
• 1:32:44
  was brought up on another
• 1:32:45
  show or by someone.
• 1:32:47
  I think Hiller said it.
• 1:32:50
  Andrew Hiller talked about it.
• 1:32:53
  And when he was doing his
• 1:32:54
  social media top 20 or 30,
• 1:32:58
  whatever it was.
• 1:33:02
  Mark Moss is in the chat.
• 1:33:03
  When you end in that,
• 1:33:05

• 1:33:11
  We did the real of you doing it.
• 1:33:14
  I sent him my score.
• 1:33:18
  It was supposed to be,
• 1:33:19
  it was supposed to end on the 19th,
• 1:33:21
  but he said they were extending it.
• 1:33:26
  Let's go end it.
• 1:33:28
  I'm bringing Catan.
• 1:33:29
  If anyone's interested,
• 1:33:32
  I don't want to beat you too bad, John.
• 1:33:35
  I love board games.
• 1:33:37
  I love board games too.
• 1:33:39
  I won't be there this year.
• 1:33:41
  I will be training.
• 1:33:43

• 1:33:44
  a good idea for me to go.
