What's happening? Good evening, everybody.
0:35
It's Wednesday night, the number one show on of CrossFit on a
0:39
Wednesday night at 7:30 Eastern. It's the spin man.
0:46
That's a long week, long weekend, but it happened so
0:49
fast. Did you crash?
0:51
Do it again. I wasn't too bad.
0:54
I was not too bad. I drove in Monday morning, drove
0:58
back on Monday morning and then went to the office and got some
1:02
real work done. And yeah.
1:07
I'm glad to be. On.
1:10
I'm glad to be on paternity leave.
1:13
That is fair. Tyler, you, you and Spin, you're
1:16
both not going to North Cal, correct?
1:18
Correct, that is correct. I'll be watching a live stream
1:22
from home. All right.
1:24
I got sick as soon as I I got back.
1:27
I've surprisingly not gotten sick and I've travelled a lot.
1:32
If you don't, it'll be amazing as much as you're travelling.
1:38
I'm hoping I can hold off two more weeks.
1:39
All right, I get sick the weekend of grid league.
1:42
I'll be upset but. Yeah, that would suck.
1:47
Let's see who's who we got here. Keeping it real.
1:52
I love how love how to this day that's the only picture of John
1:56
or John are using on front covers.
2:00
Had the same problem I think. How about the thumbnail you see
2:06
the thumbnail I had to use like a photo from like 2 years ago,
2:09
John. Take a take a picture of me.
2:11
Get some head shots. Am I gonna pay for head shots,
2:15
man? The Sivan podcast number one.
2:18
Wednesday night show. Summer Vine, she was at
2:23
Syndicate Crown in her boot. In her boot.
2:27
You said she was doing some crazy workout.
2:28
She was doing the class workout, John, she was doing.
2:32
She was doing shuttle run. No, I didn't say she was doing a
2:34
crazy workout. I said she was doing something
2:36
she wasn't supposed to. The class workout shuttle runs.
2:40
Yeah, yeah. So don't do that.
2:46
Just follow what John says. L1 Mel.
2:49
Did anyone else get an e-mail from CrossFit that bought
2:51
tickets in the pre sale telling them that they have an
2:54
additional 2 tickets for free? What?
2:58
I've heard that. Because they paid full price and
3:02
there are still a lot of seats. Man 3000 or something like that
3:08
so. Could very well be a packed
3:10
house at this rate. That's crazy.
3:13
There are. I would.
3:14
Rather a packed house. Let's just give them out for
3:16
free, man. There are actually 20 less
3:20
tickets than there were because people won some tickets from
3:24
heat one from this past weekend. Shout out to I only play to win.
3:31
Who won? There we go, shot.
3:33
Caller. He only played for that reason.
3:34
That's. Right.
3:37
Jay Delotto, 2 Roll Dio. He's on there a lot.
3:42
Roll Dio. That's Tristan.
3:43
Right, Tristan Harrison. Is that Tristan?
3:46
I thought that's what he said in the chat one time.
3:50
And then Sup dorks coming in fourth, missing out on the
3:54
tickets. That sounds like Colton.
3:57
That does sound like Colton. I bet it's.
4:00
I bet it's Dallin. I think so.
4:03
I thought Dallon had his own. A regular user, yeah.
4:05
Dallon just has Dallon. I think he changed it so we
4:08
don't did, did he? Does he still have his name?
4:10
I thought he changed. And he doesn't say he said
4:12
what's up losers on his thing. Yeah, that's true.
4:17
He doesn't. He doesn't say dorks.
4:19
Jay Steranko in top ten number one and also Trunix, 24, tied
4:28
for first. Oh, tie for first gets in OK.
4:31
They both get tickets in. Yeah, they both get tickets. 3
4:34
for shot caller and two for top 10.
4:36
Nice. We will be reaching out shortly.
4:40
Look who was here. Congratulations, thanks to
4:42
everybody you played. Grant Griffin, the accountant,
4:44
is in the building. He told me he was in finance.
4:49
Is accounting not finance? It's very different.
4:53
It is not the same high ground made it the best beef, the best
4:58
beef chips out there. I had some beef chips this
5:01
weekend that got got me some protein.
5:04
Kevin Carrick got one of their fancy red barbell spin shirts
5:08
from Syndicate and got a new PR. There you go.
5:13
Let's see. Load up on some C and
5:16
electrolytes, Tyler. I blasted what?
5:20
What is that emergency? I've been blasting it the whole
5:23
time since I've been back. I'm on a cycle of emergency and
5:28
then some vitamin D It's. Too late.
5:30
If you're doing it, then it'll work.
5:33
Vindicate sold all kinds of stuff out there at the out there
5:38
at Syndicate. Did you get hailed on out there,
5:41
Travis? Which day?
5:44
I think it was Friday. There was a bit of hail.
5:47
Dude, I miss. I miss Tennessee rains.
5:49
No, there wasn't. Down.
5:51
Kale wasn't there. Kale.
5:54
Kale, not kale. Oh my bad.
5:57
My. Fault.
5:58
You know where Kale is, Paige and Kale.
6:00
Nobody knows for that. Nobody.
6:01
Knows for that Jonathan Ortega engineered nutrition
6:04
electrolytes. I met those guys, Good dudes.
6:07
I got a sample pack to try out so enjoying it so far.
6:12
Good stuff, doesn't taste salty, but there's plenty of
6:14
electrolytes. William Fultz.
6:17
I saw that name of the chat listening from Murfreesboro.
6:21
So there you go. I do want you to draw your
6:25
attention. If you are in the in the live
6:27
chat and you look at the, there's a new thing going on up
6:33
there in the top right, says community leaderboard.
6:38
So this if you're, if you're in the YouTube channel and you're
6:42
looking at the chat, there's a little crown up there, says
6:45
Community. The community we got to update.
6:49
Let me see if I can. Let me see if I can pull it up.
6:52
Let's go in in into Infinity mode here.
6:56
Let's see, I pulled up Instagram because I'm an addict.
7:00
So yeah, here it is. So up here it says Little Crown,
7:05
it says Community, and it's community leaderboard.
7:10
And so it tracks everything you do when you're interacting with
7:15
the channel now on a live stream.
7:17
Wow. And so basically every chat that
7:22
you send in, I think super chats and gifts and all those like
7:25
little fun, little, you know, sending us money gets counts
7:28
towards points. And since I'm one of the few
7:32
that has it now to the beta test, I'm going to give away 100
7:37
Australian dollars in gift card to frog grips to the to the
7:42
winner at the end of the show. So you can you can get points by
7:47
just chatting. You get points by sending in
7:49
super chats you get. Does it update in real time?
7:53
I think so. I think that's.
7:55
Awesome. Let's click on it right now.
7:58
I need to update my YouTube app. Jose said like 37 comments.
8:02
Awesome. Let's click on it right now.

8:17
What is going on? I have, man.
8:19
It's like getting crazy. Spin.
8:21
That was inception if I've ever heard it.
8:24
Good brief. I almost refreshed my computer
8:26
and I was like wow and. Then I was going on.
8:30
Tyler and Tyler was laughing. I was like, OK, OK, OK.
8:33
It's just. So you guys in the chat, you'll

8:38
So whoever number one at the end you'll get a.
8:42
Grant already in the lead. In the lead.
8:44
So what if you stay in the chat? I have no idea.
8:49
What do it We love it anyway? Yeah, I have no idea how the
8:52
points actually work, but you're supposed to get all right.
8:55
Can we get off when we do it? Man, I'm getting like a
8:57
headache. Jordan Hayward asked.
9:02
Where did he go? We got a bunch of chats now,
9:04
Jordan. Hayward, you know him.
9:07
I do know he asked if I was going to frame the the Theo
9:12
Kemper jersey. I am definitely going to frame
9:15
that jersey. I'm up.
9:18
But I, I, I started looking at shadow boxes today, so we should
9:20
have that up on the wall, do you think?
9:22
Theo said he was going to. Yeah.
9:24
Theo said he was going to work on his running for next year.
9:27
I hope so. He's.
9:28
Going to show out and yeah, Summer Vine best B team in the
9:35
business 499. Thank you, Summer.
9:37
Thanks, Summer. Appreciate.
9:40
That. That's that's very kind of you.
9:43
Yeah, we'll, we'll get to that here in a second.
9:45
And Josh, a new high ground member.
9:48
There's also somebody new, I'm going to tell you in a little
9:49
bit who is a brand new member of the spin.
9:55
So I'll get to that in viewer comments.
9:57
Cliffhanger. Yeah, First up at house
10:02
Glendale, 1914 Young, it's John Young, looking like a very good
10:09
analyst here, predicted sterner top five and only after second
10:14
guessing said top 7 and literally said Ty is fitter than
10:19
everyone in the field. So.
10:24
There you go. Well, I'm generally He was 8th
10:26
in Isabel so I lost that bet but.
10:30
That was an amazing bet, that's how.
10:33
You very, very good bet you have to you know, if you lose, you
10:36
lose. Wasn't the first thing I lost
10:38
this weekend so. And that's how I'm funding the
10:41
fraud grips. You see, really, it's my money.
10:46
I did. Hey and you need to tell the
10:48
people I paid immediately, did I not?
10:50
You did in. Cash nonetheless.
10:53
If you were paying attention last week there was a little
10:56
debate on Isabel. What is George Sterner Place?
10:59
Now you did say not top 10 and then I like went way over on
11:04
the. Other you said he was, you said
11:05
he was going to be top five and then we kind of settled in the
11:08
middle and you said top 7 and that was the bet.
11:12
Sterner got 8th place. He missed out by 7th by what, 2
11:16
seconds? Less than two seconds.
11:18
It is what it is. It's a bad beat man.
11:20
You know what else is a bad beat?
11:22
I, I went and looked at at my Isabel time 'cause I was very
11:26
like, it's very anticlimactic cause Sam just wrecked shot
11:29
right. I had the 52nd fastest time in
11:33
the world in the entire world and then Sam in the N affiliate
11:39
semi final. Sam was just that good and I
11:45
don't think people understand. If I was in an 11th lane in heat
11:49
one, I win. If I'm in an 11th lane in heat
11:51
2, Mason beats me but I win. It depends on.
11:55
What gender you're racing against because Rebecca Devine
11:58
would smoke you in the 1st. Team, I'm not talking about
12:00
Rebecca Devine, I'm talking about.
12:01
I'm talking. Nearly twice.
12:03
When I am, I'm just saying Sam Demester, we people need to
12:07
understand how fast he went. He would have been fifth in the
12:10
competition and it was the 19th fastest time in the world.
12:13
He's crazy. Really took really took the
12:15
sales out of my challenge. So I appreciate that, Sam.
12:18
Shouldn't have invited. I don't even care that you beat
12:20
me. I just wish it wasn't by like so
12:22
much, you know what I mean? That way it would it would have
12:24
been interesting. But good on that guy.
12:28
William Fulds, a new member. Thank you, William.
12:31
Speaking of Murfreesboro, there is a zebra on the loose in
12:35
Murfreesboro right now. This is big news.
12:39
Yeah, William probably knows about it.
12:41
Where? Where do you even get one in
12:43
Murfreesboro? Had a zebra as a pet and the
12:47
zebra had escaped and it happened over the weekend and
12:53
zebra is still on the loose. Stay tuned folks to The Spin,
12:57
where we'll keep you up to date on the Zebra Escape.
12:59
On everything happening in Murfreesboro, Missus Spin.
13:04
I had so much fun at Syndicate. She was here watching Dan.
13:07
Sam, look at that. Sam is watching.
13:10
He knows. Cool hand Sam.
13:12
Yeah. All right, Sam, just
13:14
complimenting you. So if you know, you want to get
13:16
me on like the Froning podcast, that'd be cool.
13:19
It's just whatever. Also, this is a fitness test.
13:23
It does not mean anything. Can we Max snatch?
13:25
I beat everybody. It's a fitness test.
13:27
OK, But he did. He did his thing.
13:29
I think Sam Self admittedly doesn't have a great like one
13:32
Rep Max Snatch. Like 295 or something like.
13:35
I mean, obviously. It's still pretty good, no?
13:37
It's still pretty good but but amongst like, you know, people
13:41
who are doing his time, it's he might have the lowest snatch of
13:44
people doing his time, you know. I mean, isn't I, I, I didn't
13:49
recognize the name until I, I saw her out there, but I think
13:51
Barrett Kunz is like an Olympic weightlifter, like I think she
13:55
does Olympic weightlifting and she barely finished.
14:00
She barely finished under the time cap in the, in your
14:03
challenge. So.
14:06
I mean, I'm thinking the guys like Ilya Moskalinko, and I know
14:08
people don't know who that is. He, he was an Olympic lifting.
14:11
I mean, he snatches like 3:30 for a Max and he like he does
14:16
CrossFit. It's not like Anton plus Noy,
14:19
right? He's the, he's like he's at,
14:22
he's, he's going to be at Norcal this year, but his time was like
14:25
525. You know what I mean?
14:28
It's not, it's a, it's a fitness people don't understand just
14:31
cause a lot of people can't do it.
14:33
They don't understand how much fitness is involved in it.
14:36
Even Jeff Adler. I don't think I've ever seen
14:38
Jeff Adler snatch 300 and he he just has the best battery out of
14:44
everybody by a lot. Yeah, yeah, Avera 9636 spin in
14:53
what otherwise was a Pooh Pooh broadcast.
14:58
She used the other word or he or whoever this is.
15:01
You are fantastic at Syndicate. OK.
15:04
Just you spin. Just me.
15:06
I know you have not actively pursued commentating gigs in the
15:09
CrossFit arena, but you should just get away from Sivan's
15:14
growing toxicity. Growing.
15:17
Is it like the the growing pit of despair?
15:21
Yes, getting bigger and bigger as.
15:23
Like a sinkhole. Yes, I I will not agree that the
15:29
that. Spin was very good at yes.
15:31
Exactly. That the stream was poo poo I or
15:35
or the commentary was poo poo like I loved how different
15:39
essentially every heat was the A-Team, the mixture of folks on
15:43
the A-Team or B team and then the A-Team was like, I loved the
15:49
back and forth of it. I I don't understand why some of
15:55
the comments. It's a hard contact to get.
15:58
The the feedback is just so all over the place and it's
16:00
contradictory to into itself. We wanted that shift for a
16:04
reason. Yes, I thought.
16:07
I thought like I I would agree wholeheartedly, though I was not
16:11
prepared for how much spin sounded like a baseball play by
16:16
play. It was incredible.
16:18
I was like, where the hell is this coming from?
16:20
It's like, yeah, I really thought, did you moonlight doing
16:23
this in college or something? Done absolutely none of this.
16:27
And when, to be honest, when I said thank.
16:30
You, Kevin, I take that as hate completely.
16:34
No offense, John. With.
16:36
All due respect. No, I've never done that.
16:41
When I sat on that very first, the only meeting that I was in
16:44
that we had like the whole group call and you went through and
16:47
you showed the spreadsheet and I was like and spins is going to
16:49
do the play by play. I was like, got it.
16:53
This is a problem. So you just listen to to
16:56
baseball games until the season start or until we went to
16:59
syndicate? Exactly.
17:00
Exactly. Yep, Yep.
17:04
So yeah, stay away from Stephane's growing toxicity at
17:09
Lucas Urban. One hour and 56 minutes.
17:12
He's referring to last week's show.
17:15
You are crazy, man. These should be like 10 to 15
17:18
minute updates. We're 2 minutes over right now
17:21
so he hasn't what? Planet are you from?
17:26
Lucas. We're just gonna do 15 minute
17:29
shows. That's no, no, no.
17:31
No, not that we've been doing this for what, two years?
17:35
You're a. Little likes in the party.
17:37
Bro what are you talking about man?
17:40
I mean, if you listen, see, if you listen to the hour and 56
17:44
minutes and 15 minute intervals, you'll finish up on Tuesday or
17:49
maybe even Wednesday morning and then guess what?
17:51
Ready to go? Again, ready to go tonight.
17:53
So it's perfect timing for it. We'll start clipping it that
17:57
way. Yeah, yeah, just every 15
17:59
minutes that way. One every day.
18:01
I'll just drop 15 minutes in a replay at Sid R.E.M.
18:07
Tyler listens to Sivan in the shower, if you didn't catch
18:10
that. That's what he does.
18:11
Yeah, I do all every day basically.
18:13
And Sid, she listens to us y'all in the shower.
18:19
So there you go, John. All I've heard about Grid is
18:22
it's a lot of drama. How do you carry your faith with
18:26
you when competing in the league?
18:29
Oh, that. Was kind of a deep question.
18:32
I didn't you well you shifted topics without telling anybody
18:35
spending. That was Sid.
18:36
She's talking about listening to us in the shower and then asked
18:39
how you Oh. OK.
18:41
It's one just a stream of thought.
18:43
It's not hard. I carry my faith everywhere that
18:45
I go. I know.
18:47
I think people I don't know, I know I've gotten cancelled more
18:53
than anybody else in our little crew, including Stephon, which
18:57
is which is wild. But if you if you notice, I
19:02
don't ever cuss ever. Just out of principle.
19:08
When If I cuss? Tyler, Go ahead, tell me you've
19:11
never heard a cuss word you say. Things that are equivalent to
19:15
cussing. Fat for sure, for sure, yeah,
19:19
for sure. But a part of that is
19:21
controlling your having control over your tongue and those
19:24
things that I do say I just don't care to.
19:26
I don't think that's, I don't think that's as bad or I like
19:30
it's, it's a it's a control thing.
19:32
But and I started that right whenever I got saved, I was
19:36
like, I need to change. I need to change some of the
19:38
things that I do. And cussing was one of those
19:41
things. It with that, the things that I
19:45
have said have gotten me cancelled multiple times.
19:50
But carrying my faith with me is not hard.
19:54
If if you live with Jesus in your heart, it's not hard to go
20:00
anywhere without them. Like it's and people's people,
20:04
you will know people and where they stand by their fruits.
20:08
And I'm and I hope that I show my fruits wherever I go.
20:12
And if I don't then I need to work on it.
20:14
Wait, we probably just can't show that comment, but Brandon
20:17
Lecoq coming out of retirement to say thick guy's just way
20:21
worse. I haven't seen Brandon around in
20:23
months. I'm pretty sure that's what you
20:25
said, Tyler and one of the one of the.
20:28
I did say thick legged girl I I went ahead and quoted you John,
20:31
during one of the B stream. Oh, did you?
20:34
Streams I I called Rolf a thick legged thing.
20:38
Haley. She probably, she probably was
20:41
one. That's nothing.
20:43
That's a compliment. They they, they that we got
20:45
feedback that we were misogynistic and.
20:48
I was like, I, I'm not saying that cussing is like, like, not
20:51
like a bad thing. I was just using that as an
20:53
example as I try to control my tongue in that way.
20:57
Of course there are other words that people might not like me to
21:01
say, but it's not, it's not like I got carried away.
21:05
My thing did not go as well as I wanted it to.
21:07
Just go ahead. I was just saying that that.
21:11
Like a thing, Haley Roll. We got called out for being
21:13
misogynistic and for the life of me, I've watched the live stream
21:17
like all every day. I'm probably on my second run
21:20
through of, of watching it just like watching it from different
21:24
angles, taking notes on different things.
21:26
And like for the life of me, I can't find one place where we
21:29
said something misogynistic. I said I pointed out and I'll
21:33
double down here, that Emma Arving was one of the larger
21:38
athletes. And it's like, I'm not saying I
21:40
I said this on 7's behind the scenes like paid show.
21:44
Like I didn't say she was disgusting.
21:48
I think it's cool how like tall she is and how she can like go
21:55
with the. Harvard is an amazing person.
21:57
She's so. I love Emma Harvard.
21:59
She's amazing for sure. It was, but I can't get over how
22:03
people thought we were misogynistic and it's like we're
22:04
literally just talking about a sport that depends on how big or
22:08
small you are. Literally.
22:11
I I think some. Somewhat.
22:17
Some people saw Sivan was broadcasting it and first look
22:26
for it but also misinterpret what is said as hate when it's
22:31
not just because they say it's on Sivan's channel.
22:36
That's. It.
22:36
Yeah, yeah. Yeah, and I think, and I also
22:41
think people, and I mean, I guess we're kind of blended into
22:44
the syndicate recap. I, I think people like, hold on
22:49
to the one, like the five things out of the whole entire weekend
22:55
that might have been off color. You know what I mean, 'cause I
23:00
thought we were rolled back a ton from like what the podcasts
23:05
are, but it's not. I mean, even the even the post
23:08
shows, I mean, the post shows were still a little bit wild, a
23:11
little wild, but like the broadcasts itself, the.
23:14
Post shows were not they were bad spin.
23:16
They were. The post shows were let's stick
23:18
to the broadcast that I. Don't.
23:19
Well, that's what I mean. It's like you compare the two,
23:21
you can tell that that it's way different.
23:25
Let's. See, we'll do the last comment,
23:28
then we'll move on to Syndicate Crown.
23:30
Hold on, hold on. Hold on.
23:31
Hold on, hold on. That's that's my point.
23:33
Grant Andrew did a 92nd compilation.
23:36
That's it. That he took everything.
23:40
Everything that was bad. There were over 21 hours of
23:44
content. It was .126% of time streamed
23:51
whether it was the forest or the actual competition.
23:56
It was less than .13% of the time had that content.
24:05
Because Andrew got them all. That's every single thing that
24:08
was there and there was 21 hours that we were recording and it
24:12
was 90 total seconds It also. Wasn't, I think, bombs.
24:16
People are shit bombs. Right, right.
24:17
It's whatever you think. I don't think I'm in that clip
24:20
once. So I, I don't think you think
24:22
you are that I've said. It was.
24:24
It was probably 60% Savon, 30% Pedro and 10% Caleb.
24:32
And what Andrew is saying is that Dick's lap is OK.
24:35
That's what Andrew is saying. You should you should visit
24:37
Knoxville. One of our newest members, Jeff
24:41
Baoko. That dude was hot and cold this
24:45
weekend. Sorry I missed our missed the
24:48
show. I have insomnia so watching it
24:51
now to help me get to sleep. So new member Jeff, I hope.
24:56
Thanks. Hey, I do that with the Predator
25:01
shows like Hanson versus Predator.
25:04
They those help me go to sleep listening to people who are
25:07
pedophiles go to jail. It helps me.
25:09
Oh, Chris Hanson. Is that your?
25:13
Is that? Your new member?
25:14
I just heard Predator like the movie, no?
25:19
Oh, that's not the surprise. New member, got it.
25:21
Yeah, Jeff Bianco was the surprise new member Kevin
25:24
Carrick. If I send a super chat can Tyler
25:27
call me a thick legged thing? I only speak the truth so we'll
25:30
see, but definitely send me a super chat at.
25:34
Least true Ben Smith is going to get second place.
25:44
Syndicate Crown. We kind of talked about it a
25:47
little bit that Souza. Nobody worried about the vulgar
25:52
halftime show during the Super Bowl, but everyone is so worried
25:54
about the broadcast. We didn't show any boobs in the
25:57
halftime show, so win there. Maybe a loss depending on who
26:03
you're asking. So Nicky Crown, I guess we'll
26:07
start off with the competition. Any major takeaways from you,
26:11
John, on the actual competition itself?
26:17
Ty Jenkins, I think is going to be here to stay.
26:20
I think it's just, this is the first of many CrossFit Games
26:26
that he's going to qualify for. And I'm really, and Tyler's no
26:31
better kid than Ty Jenkins. And like, I'm, I'm really
26:33
excited to see where he goes from here if he gets better or
26:38
if he, you know, this is the best he's gonna be.
26:41
And then like even he's just fringe every time.
26:44
Or if he makes a jump to like, oh, no, like he's one of those
26:47
guys that like potentially can push for the top ten.
26:51
That's my biggest take away. Along with that is is just like
26:57
Reece Littlewood. I know she didn't make it, but
27:00
she was she it was hers to lose and she just didn't really have
27:04
it on the back. I think Reece Littlewood's gonna
27:06
make it next year just because she's gonna take another jump
27:11
and her gymnastics abilities, like for her to in a handstand
27:15
walk workout where Brooke Wells gets 8th place and she's the
27:18
best out of all of the great handstand walkers.
27:22
Like I just think, I think the young, the young talent that's
27:28
coming to CrossFit, The biggest take away was that these like
27:32
we're going to have 3 or 4 new names that we're going to talk
27:36
about and that's not always the case.
27:38
A lot of times when people want to bring up teens, like I don't
27:41
care about them at all until they do it on the big stage
27:44
versus the big girls and big boys.
27:46
And like we've got 3 girls and one guy who punched his ticket.
27:53
You know, I think it's still like a year away from Miley Wade
27:55
and maybe 2 years for Elsie Larson.
27:58
But I agree, Littlewood's going to make it next year.
28:02
She's she was the most impressive to me.
28:06
And I mean, the Spencer Panchick story is fun.
28:09
Like, that's a fun thing, but I don't think I should take away
28:14
from what those guys did in this competition.
28:18
I go ahead. No, that's good.
28:20
Go ahead. I was going to say I apologize
28:23
for not respecting your or not yeah, respecting your take on Ty
28:27
earlier, but I. Don't think anybody.
28:30
I think, well, the problem is John is too close to the sun on
28:33
that one, right? Like you're a good like you've
28:36
done podcasts with Ty. That's fair.
28:38
Yeah, great part does not control my real keeping it.
28:42
Real also is too close to Ty about that so like.
28:47
Oh, you can't trust Grant at all, But I'm saying we'll get
28:50
to. That we'll get to that in Norcal
28:52
Classic, OK. OK, OK, OK, OK.
28:54
But yeah, no, it it's just like when when Tyler's like, oh,
28:58
Tanner blahs is. You know you're never going.
29:02
To believe it just just because Tanner.
29:04
Is. Good friends with Tyler like
29:08
John has a lot. More discern about his opinion,
29:12
even though he's friends with people.
29:14
I will say that, but I you couldn't know like we hadn't
29:18
really seen Ty at that sort of capacity yet and man, was I
29:22
impressed. Like the dude is totally
29:23
changed. He's got that killer instinct,
29:27
like he'll look adversity right in the eye and go and put the
29:30
pedal down. I was I was totally impressed.
29:33
He's got a great like family unit, great support system like
29:36
this dudes. This dude's on a high trajectory
29:40
for sure. Yeah, I, I.
29:41
Was waiting for Ty on that final event to like get to the sandbag
29:46
and just like struggle. He's not George Sterner, man.
29:49
And it was. He made it look made it look
29:52
good. Dude I think George Sterner if
29:54
he just put 10 lbs of muscle on he might be untouchable.
29:58
George Sterner is so fit but man he is small.
30:03
Like if you stand next to him you're like how do you do the
30:06
things you do? Like it makes sense the ones
30:08
that he wins but it it almost doesn't make sense that he can
30:12
compete with the fittest in the world in in strength stuff.
30:16
It just doesn't. Kevin Kerry, time to pay up,
30:21
Tyler, 199. Show me them legs, DM me, DM me
30:24
of them legs. I'll I'll make an.
30:27
An assessment? Hang on, let's see.
30:30
I don't know. Be the What do you call that
30:33
guy? The guy who goes out?
30:34
Property assessor. Yeah, I.
30:37
Don't. I'm the leg assessor.
30:39
I don't. I don't know what, what what,
30:41
what his legs look like. I do want to go.
30:44
I think we had one I missed. I thought you were looking for
30:46
his legs. I no, I'm not looking José José.
30:50
I used one of his photos, the K Layman photo today.
30:55
Testing to be on top. If not, I need my refund so
30:58
we'll find out. I have no idea.
31:01
You should guys check out the community leaderboard and see.
31:03
It's like I'm going to pay whoever's at the top.
31:05
I. Don't know.
31:06
I don't. I don't run it.
31:08
Try everything and we'll see what happens.
31:10
I'm sure the more money you throw at it the better your
31:12
odds. That's all I know.
31:14
Keeping it real $5. My picks were Ty Jenkins and
31:18
Jack Rosema and never wavered because of my expertise and
31:22
nothing else. He already told me Ty Jenkins is
31:24
going to be top ten at the games.
31:26
Ben Smith would have been second had he not had popcorn before
31:30
every single event, so didn't really shouldn't have that
31:35
popcorn. Ben Smith, 2nd place did not
31:39
happen. Tyler.
31:41
No, but it would. It would have been cool.
31:45
Oh man, it would have been awesome.
31:48
I don't remember where I had, I think I had a 9th spin.
31:50
Where do you end up? He was right, right there.
31:53
He's top ten. He's 9th because Matthews was
31:56
10th. How about that?
32:01
Yeah, the the young women. I was really impressed by Miley
32:05
Wade, Right. Like obviously reasonable would
32:09
turn it on the last day, right. And and really took it.
32:12
But like Miley, Wade is little, and she was able to move the
32:18
barbell pretty well. She could handle all of the
32:22
heavy implements. She can run faster than almost
32:26
everybody. Give her 2A year or two years
32:34
and she's dangerous. Also, a standout performance
32:40
that kind of probably would have gone overlooked was Lydia on the
32:44
sandbag. Like she had a top.
32:46
I think it was like a top ten time or something like that.
32:49
I think it was 8. But it was like, yeah, it was
32:53
like on the sandbag workout and I was like, she dude, she's
32:57
right there. And it's like, like I was
33:00
talking to her coach after and it's like she basically quoted
33:05
John and she's like, we got to get 15 lbs of muscle on her.
33:08
And I was like, you got to be kidding me.
33:12
JY Barbell. When I say that, I'm not lying,
33:15
it's the truth. And then if you can do it,
33:17
you'll be awesome. And if you can't, you'll be
33:19
probably around the same thing every year.
33:21
It was crazy, like Brian putting Seth Stovall as a qualifier.
33:26
I mean like I was hype on Seth and I think I still put him in
33:29
like 5th. I think I might have had him
33:34
second. I think most people, I think
33:36
most people had Seth in a. Qualify.
33:38
That's insane. I think, I think I was in the
33:41
very small majority of having Ty Jenkins qualify and I think most
33:45
people had Seth Stovall qualify. Do you think?
33:48
I think what we're what we're seeing and it makes sense and
33:51
you talk about it until you make your picks is there's something
33:54
way different in finishing 10th or 11th to qualify for a spot
34:01
versus top 2. Even when the field is a a
34:04
different like all those guys in the front go away, you expect
34:11
everybody just kind of filter up and move up.
34:13
But when you're sitting in first or second, that's a way
34:16
different feeling than sitting there in 11th place fighting for
34:21
that last spot than you are in second place fighting for that
34:23
last spot. Like like Seth in a in a way
34:27
better field might still finish 7th.
34:30
Right. It's weird, isn't it?
34:32
But but it's because he doesn't really have any holes.
34:35
He's just pretty decent at everything.
34:37
And then, you know, Ty Jenkins, Isabel, I keep bringing him up.
34:41
We could say somebody else's name.
34:43
George Turner sandbag event. Now that's a 40th place because
34:47
you have Jeff Adler, Dallin, you know, Hopper like and all these
34:51
like so many else else, good guys are going to be ahead and
34:54
make any bad event much, much worse.
34:58
Where Seth doesn't really have bad events.
35:00
He's just kind of decent at everything, but he's not really
35:02
great at anything. And so he's just middle of the
35:05
pack, but the he's middle of the pack no matter what field it is
35:11
because everybody's got their home runs.
35:13
And you look at Rebel Renegade games, Sarah Sigmund's daughter
35:16
won four of the 9 events and had several 2nd place finishes and
35:21
did not qualify. She did not win it, right?
35:24
Like she was third or 4th, something like that.
35:27
Like she was not even in the top two and only one went.
35:31
And that, I mean, that's kind of like what happened to guy that
35:33
one year at Copa Sewer where one bad event, like if it would have
35:38
been semifinals of last year, Serra probably is fighting for
35:43
the 10th spotted women in Europe, right?
35:48
But when you're trying to fight for that one spot or top two,
35:52
you you can't you have to be solid every single time.
35:56
And I I think that's it makes it tough when it's only two spots.
36:04
Non syndicate related. Natalie Fleming.
36:07
Why is Gee even competing? No, no cash money, baby.
36:12
Beats me girl, I wish you wouldn't, but I mean like like
36:17
he's his own man. He didn't do what he wants.
36:19
But you know, I he is an influencer.
36:25
Yeah, I mean. The best thing that I can say
36:27
about. It yeah.
36:27
I'm not sure what the reason was, but my guess has had
36:33
something to do with Torian and and Frog Grips bringing him out
36:35
there. He's a Frog Grips athlete.
36:38
Probably brought him out there. I will say Torian Pro looked
36:42
ridiculously awesome. It did.
36:44
It always does man. They kill it every time.
36:48
You know, I, I think about like what if Syndicate, like the, the
36:52
Civic Coliseum had been completely packed, even just
36:55
even the half that was being used for the, the elite field,
36:59
like how crazy that would be. And you think about Torian, that
37:03
was bigger and completely full. Yep.
37:07
Like nuts Josh Josh $2.00 it was $2.00 of nice to see you see it
37:14
all in person. It was a good time.
37:17
I I do think it was it was a fun competition to be at the
37:21
programming. Do you think J Rs programming
37:25
was too difficult? Difficult.
37:30
How 'cause people got capped? Because athlete like I looked at
37:42
like the races, right? Like if if the races are close,
37:46
like if the program is simple and it's just a matter of who
37:48
moves faster, you're gonna see a lot of really tight races.
37:55
But J Rs programming, it requires skill.
37:58
It requires like perfect execution.
38:03
And you saw athletes sometimes in the first heat that did
38:07
really well. You had even the first or second
38:09
heat. We had a lot that did very well
38:11
because that was like their wheelhouse.
38:13
Which I loved. It made commentating fun.
38:15
Yeah, it definitely did. But there weren't like in the
38:22
same heat, the the heat of the the final heat, you'd expect
38:25
everybody kind of come in there close like there weren't a whole
38:27
lot of like super close races. And I'm wondering is that just a
38:31
just because of the field, because of, you know, the
38:35
programming, like is it just an anomaly or is it or am I?
38:39
What do you what do you mean there wasn't close races?
38:42
I mean like Ty barely won in the hundreds.
38:44
Him and George went back and forth in the hundreds.
38:46
George Cerner, smiling as he's Hawking Connor, bolts down in
38:50
the 6th. There were a couple.
38:51
I'm not saying there weren't a. Couple Isabel is you know awash
38:56
the bag event was pure chaos for the men and the women you know
39:01
Lexi Neely and Kyra Milligan were racing until the end even
39:04
the handstand walk there was. Handstand walk was madness.
39:07
There was a yes, chaos, you know, and we I.
39:12
Don't know about chaos? The two 2-3 intervals is the
39:15
only one. There wasn't much racing because
39:17
you know, there were a couple that could do it in three.
39:20
And then like that one is probably the hardest of the
39:23
events and there was a lot of spread out there spread there.
39:27
But I feel like every other event had a ton of races, so I
39:33
don't. I don't buy that it didn't have
39:35
races. I don't think it's too hard
39:37
because most of the field could do every single event and not
39:41
get capped. You know, if you the
39:43
programming's too hard, people can't do it.
39:47
I would say he's he Jr. tests for the games and he's testing
39:54
for the best and at the games like you have to have that
39:57
execution, you have to have this skill and so like.
40:00
I think what a different way of phrasing what you're saying is
40:03
there were like there were home run hitters essentially in every
40:07
single event and they were often not in the the top heat because
40:12
of the way that the the programming was lined up.
40:15
It's all it, it was always complimentary, right?
40:18
He never did like a strength event and then a a metcon.
40:21
That was strength bias, right? It would always be kind of
40:24
polar. Yeah, no, I mean, yeah, I did
40:27
the correlation analysis. First of all, the, I think it
40:35
was metal March was the number one was correlated for both men
40:39
and women. But between events there were
40:41
not any super highly correlated events.
40:44
And that was the case for crash as well.
40:47
Right. Yeah.
40:47
So like they weren't so similar, were the same people were always
40:52
winning in the same, in the kind of the same order.
40:55
And so you saw that like it was jostling up and down and people
40:57
are moving up. Like, you know, day one Sydney's
41:00
in 17th place and she ends up whatever 7th or 5th or whatever.
41:05
Same with Spencer. And I mean, I heard, I heard
41:08
Scott say that after day one, he's like, hey, it's just a
41:10
matter of the order, order of events.
41:12
Sure. I would say like also like to
41:15
add color to your simple. I mean like the yoke workout,
41:20
super simple, yoke repeater, super simple.
41:23
I don't think any of them are particularly complicated other
41:26
than metal marches. A little weird with the 2223,
41:29
but besides that, like I think it's very simple programming.
41:33
It just elicits specific a specific response with skill,
41:39
which I I like. Like, I think you should give
41:42
the people who can hit homers the opportunity to do so.
41:48
Yeah, I mean, I'm not saying I didn't.
41:49
I didn't enjoy it. I first of all, I really liked
41:53
learning about meeting a lot of the new athletes that we hadn't
41:57
seen there before. But I also wish that we would be
42:01
able to see Dallin and Jason and Jeff Roman all throw down and
42:08
take on that programming. Because yes, there were races,
42:14
but I feel like a lot of those guys would have been right there
42:17
on top of each other. Like the margin of the gap
42:20
between those guys is so similar that it would have been like
42:23
some really, really like 3 or 4 people coming down the finish
42:26
line at the same time. One of the things that I want to
42:31
figure out, I'm not sure how to analyze it.
42:34
So I ran Peace Corps for Syndicate yesterday, did a
42:37
little post on my store on my Instagram about it.
42:41
Reese. I mean, the highlight was Reese
42:43
kind of was the one thing that made a difference.
42:46
She should have gotten the tickets to the game store.
42:48
I shouldn't say should have, but you know what I'm saying, She.
42:51
Would have gotten the. She would have under P score,
42:54
but the men's side was actually interesting.
42:57
There were essentially no changes.
42:59
Even though there was a tie for a second.
43:01
And I like really, I've never seen that before where it's like
43:08
basically almost 100% the same for the top 15.
43:12
Like that's, that's wild. And I I'm I can't help but think
43:17
it's got it has to do something with the way Jr. programs. 100
43:22
cause Crash was the same way. Colton won four events and we
43:25
all thought peace score was going to be like when him and
43:28
Hatfield, 'cause I remember the first time we saw Austin,
43:32
everybody wanted to wait for the peace score because they thought
43:36
that Austin, like Colton, would have won because he won the last
43:38
four events. But Austin was second in all of
43:42
those events. That one, that one's an outlier
43:45
because. I'm just, I'm just I'm just
43:47
saying Austin still won in the score.
43:51
And so like the what, what you're saying, I'm saying I
43:54
think that's just you're I agree.
43:56
Yeah, you're agreeing. That JRS the way he programs,
44:02
makes the actual order and P score the same or more similar
44:06
than other competitions. I don't know if that's a good or
44:08
a bad thing, but like it, it tends to correlate.
44:12
Well, I think it's a good thing this Jr. thinks about
44:18
programming. It's such a different level.
44:21
And I'm not saying that like, Dave isn't responsible for his
44:24
programming, but like Jr. oh, like writes these, writes them
44:28
again, test three different versions.
44:31
Why am I testing what I'm testing?
44:32
What am I trying to elicit? Like he goes through 18
44:35
different analysis on one event. And my point with Peace Corps,
44:41
one of the points of Peace Corps is to make the the programmer
44:44
very responsible for the way that they program, what the time
44:48
caps are, how you know what the structure of the events are,
44:52
what implements are used, all those things super matter.
44:55
And J Rs, the only one who have who seems to have gone through
44:58
that sort of process of like, hey, we think about this at this
45:02
level. He's he's.
45:05
Absolutely antithetical to lazy when it comes to programming and
45:08
I think that that's why why it shakes out that way.
45:12
I will. Say it's not, it's not a
45:13
straight line, though it's definitely it correlates more
45:16
with the men than the women because last I remember, like
45:21
you already said, Reese would have changed.
45:23
I also remember, like, Kyra was fourth and she would have been
45:26
second at Crash Crucible. And that's kind of a big swing,
45:31
you know? So the men correlate much, much
45:34
more than the women do. And I don't know what the reason
45:36
is for that, but it's interesting.
45:38
I feel like the women's leaderboard was like, well,
45:40
Crash. It was nuts.
45:42
Like the leaderboard, the women's leaderboard was all over
45:44
the place. The men's wasn't.
45:45
Yeah. And I think maybe even the
45:47
women's was like that more, too. Like, Ty, Jack, George, Luke, it
45:53
kind of helped the top four, most part.
45:56
The women's leaderboard. I mean, Reese was #1 going into
45:58
the final event, yeah. Like it moved a lot.
46:02
Choose. Choose second.
46:03
Miley was second at one point, right?
46:06
Like there there were a lot of people that's out too.
46:08
Yeah. Oh, that's right.
46:09
Yeah, the whole time. Yeah, Reese was in second.
46:11
Yeah. The reason?
46:12
The women tend to juggle like that, John is because the the
46:15
disparity of skill and strength is so much higher where all the
46:19
men are like basically very close in skill and strength,
46:22
whereas the women like some of them are just not as strong as
46:25
the other. And so you'll get this huge
46:26
swing. Same thing with skill like rope
46:29
climbs, rope climbs a murder on on girl events, period.
46:33
And then you put you put P score into the into the mix on that
46:36
and it drastically changes it so.
46:39
I think amongst the games field though you would you would more
46:44
similar to the men because a semi final field you're going to
46:47
get that gap so much for the women way more than you would
46:51
than men. Larry Young, 499 Not too
46:55
difficult, Good, but didn't test top end.
46:59
Strength. I will say they.
47:03
Paid $5 to say that. I mean, JRJR, definitely he
47:08
wants to test strength in a fitness capacity.
47:12
What I was going to say even before this was I'd really like,
47:15
we've always seen Jr. program a, a semifinal level competition,
47:21
right? Six events generally.
47:24
I'd really be curious to see what he would do in a 9 to 12,
47:28
right? Like a games style where it's 9
47:31
to 12 events or more. We've never seen it.
47:34
Right. We've never seen that where he
47:36
has the ability to throw in a a top end strength event, a super,
47:41
super long event, like how all that would work if we had, if he
47:46
had a competition where he could program it like that.
47:49
Double high rocks one event that day.
47:52
I've talked Jr. and I've talked about this to no end of like
47:56
what? What do you program when I don't
47:59
think top end strength should be tested Semifinals you should
48:03
elicit. It's something that that
48:05
responds well to the the guys who are super strong.
48:08
But like a one Rep Max itself should not ever be tested at
48:12
semifinals. You're not there yet.
48:15
You haven't. You haven't earned the right to
48:16
be able to showcase that because you're still trying to weed out
48:20
people who aren't fit. Likewise, a run should not be
48:25
programmed. A straight run should just
48:26
straight. Run.
48:27
Absolutely, yeah. Like the 800 meter 10 cleaning
48:30
direction, 185 is a beautiful endurance event.
48:34
Do you think Yoker Peter was? You think you think Yoker Peter
48:36
was really close to that though? But it's just enough that like,
48:42
if you're a bad runner, you could beat a bad runner who's
48:46
not as strong as you. Yes.
48:51
Like I, I bet. Here here.
48:54
Here's here's what I'm saying. I think if me and Tyler did that
48:57
work out, we'd be really close and I might kick it up if we do
49:01
a straight run. I I'm 2 minutes.
49:03
You think so? Yeah, because I cannot hesitate
49:07
at all and just go as fast as I can and I'm picking up maybe 6
49:11
seconds every single time on the yoke repeater and he never can
49:14
really get the top speed. It's not just an open run.
49:18
I think there was plenty of room for open like there's 8.
49:21
Turns. It was a lot of turn.
49:23
It's way out, but outside, outside you have plenty of room
49:27
like there was, other than the people.
49:29
Really. Weren't Cameron?
49:31
No, they were not. I went out there for the women's
49:33
heats. I think it was the third heat
49:35
for the women. And I stood out there right
49:37
underneath the drone. And yeah, it was, there was,
49:42
there was no sprinting. Like you did not look at it and
49:44
go, wow. I mean, even Sydney, when she
49:46
was beating everybody, you're like, great, she's moving pretty
49:48
good. But she was not.
49:51
I know she can runway faster, right?
49:53
Like nobody was really limited by that in my opinion.
49:58
Right. I would say it was just enough
50:01
to make it not in a straight aerobic test.
50:06
It's like the sand, the sandbag event, the sandbag event, those
50:09
9 sandbags is where it was 1, but you have this gymnastics in
50:14
the middle that makes you out just enough where it's not just
50:17
a strength test. Yeah, I'd love to be able to
50:19
look back at the the wide angle for the yoke repeater and see
50:25
how much time was on each of the yokes.
50:29
Sure. I really think even the best to
50:33
the last maybe 30 seconds difference between the 8 rounds
50:39
maybe. Right.
50:42
It's not just the yolk dose, man.
50:43
It's like what it does to your heart rate.
50:45
Like it? Yeah.
50:46
Dude, what it does to your legs. Yeah, but I don't there's
50:50
there's nobody that you would look at that was really strong
50:53
on the yolk who like couldn't run, but they're just so strong
50:57
on the yoke that you're like, wow, they got 5th place.
50:59
They were. Two butters shout out the yoke.
51:01
It's still a running. It's still a running workout.
51:04
It's still a running workout. That's why I asked was it too
51:06
close to? You're saying you shouldn't be a
51:08
single modality running event like I'm asking?
51:11
Is that too close of 1? I think if that's your endurance
51:16
test, which it was in this case, then no.
51:21
Could you have made it slightly heavier and it divert off that?
51:24
I think I, I do honestly think, 'cause when I did, I finish it
51:28
in 1725 here at the house in which, oh, we just different.
51:32
We. We.
51:33
Yeah, we did. You know, I did this in 1725 and
51:37
I even I. Thought I don't want to save my
51:39
time. It's going to make No, no, not,
51:42
not for the reason you think. Did you beat me?
51:45
Say It 15 No, you didn't do. That was 1723.
51:51
No, you. She was freaking lying.
51:56
That's hilarious, but did you think?
51:58
Of my 400 meters is not like it's not like the greatest 350
52:03
like it's it's there's you have to turn around though, like it's
52:05
not like a. Straight, yeah, we have.
52:07
We have to do like a straight turn down and back.
52:09
That's why I trusted it as far as like a good, like a good
52:13
tester, because I was like, I have to do a hard stop and turn.
52:18
But even I thought I was like, I think it can be slightly heavier
52:23
to weed out anybody who's just like not strong at all.
52:28
And it's like, it's not even that you have.
52:30
To you just don't want Rachel Klausen to win that event.
52:33
Yeah, that's why. Rachel Klausen is going to win
52:35
that event unless you added £50 to it.
52:38
Like there's nobody close. Like I noticed it in round
52:41
seven, like her pace started picking up around the back of
52:44
the arena. It was like, wow, she's actually
52:46
moving fast and nobody else looked like that.
52:49
In heat one time, we're ready for it to go all right.
52:52
We're going to get fast now. Nope.
52:53
That's the fastest we were going to see.
52:55
Is that right there? Yeah, let's see.
52:59
Aaron Harner, new YouTube member.
53:01
Thank you, Aaron. Welcome.
53:03
Aaron the final event, both were super close, which was awesome
53:13
from both the commentary standpoint, a spectator
53:16
standpoint. I mean, I, I assume the athletes
53:20
enjoyed it, other than some who didn't, you know, fell out.
53:25
But having now everything come down to that final event, I
53:30
can't remember who it was. It came in from the back, the
53:33
warm up area and they're like, dude, it is intense back there.
53:37
I bet like nobody's talking super quiet.
53:42
Three points apart. Yeah, Yeah, That was because I
53:48
had, I had my paper out. I was doing John math while you
53:51
were commentating to try to get a sense of who was going to end
53:54
up on the men's side and kind of had all the math and had all the
53:57
times that we're going to play a role on like middling people.
54:00
And it didn't matter because they were way faster than
54:03
everybody else. Not hardly any touch and goat
54:09
was there like Clegg did one right at the end, but he was in
54:12
last. I thought Luke was going to.
54:14
He tried to touch and go the last nine and I thought he was
54:17
going to do it. And then his second one was like
54:20
the end. The end of all sandbags.
54:23
I was staying in the next. Year Touch and code, Spencer
54:26
Touch and Goad. Clegg started out, I think,
54:29
touch and go and then it. Yeah, it devolved quickly.
54:33
Yeah, I was surprised that there weren't more, but I guess I
54:37
mean. None of the women touch and go.
54:40
None. None of them.
54:42
I mean, because Taylor tested those workouts over a weekend,
54:47
so he also had the fatigue of doing that 6th workout in three
54:51
days. Yes.
54:54
I don't. Know how?
54:54
I don't know how he did it like I don't know how he went touch
54:58
and go like that. Nobody else entered.
55:02
I would love to know where Taylor.
55:04
Did it though. What?
55:06
But nobody, like very like almost nobody else did it.
55:08
Spencer did it the exact same way Taylor did it.
55:12
He did 6 and then three. I he touch and go the last up
55:16
until the three and then I think it was 3 singles.
55:19
He might have touched me, I don't remember.
55:20
He was touch and going on the second-half though too, and he
55:23
was like 505 and Taylor was 444. Like it it.
55:27
Makes but nobody else though like.
55:30
Luke Parker did to Jack Rosenman try.
55:33
As opposed to 6. Yeah, Taylor's really thick
55:37
guys. Taylor, all he does, you know,
55:39
he doesn't lift real weights. All he does is that.
55:43
Do you know where Taylor would have been?
55:44
Really good at that. Do you know Taylor where Taylor
55:47
would have been had he done it? Like if he.
55:49
Had competed this weekend, I mean the hundreds slots would
55:51
have took him out alone. I don't think it.
55:53
No, I don't think anybody. Are you saying his times?
55:55
Like no, his overall standings, yeah, if we took his his times
55:58
from testing and put them in the.
56:00
Lead the hundreds. The hundreds would have.
56:02
Rocked hundreds it. Would have rocked him for the
56:04
rest of it. Like what?
56:06
It's not just, you know what I mean?
56:08
Because he does not squat. So like, it would, it would have
56:11
this compounding effect that he did not feel during that because
56:16
he did step ups. And that's like, I mean, yeah,
56:18
it's hurting him. He feels all the stuff, but it
56:21
just doesn't affect him as much. Yeah.
56:24
Grant Griffin Mason did the first half, then exploded.
56:29
His his. I mean, he'd be up there.
56:31
His Isabelle would have hurt him though.
56:34
Yeah, he'd been top 10 for sure. He.
56:37
Was like, oh dude, I think he'd be up there with, I think he'd
56:40
be top five. I just, I don't think he's
56:44
cracking the top 2, but I think he'd be right there trying to.
56:48
I think with the full thing of training with the healthy knee.
56:53
OK, well 4th if I had Matt Fraser's lungs, I would like no
56:57
I. No, I'm saying like a year ago
56:59
right if. He's so I get ridiculous John.
57:04
I'm saying a year ago he probably ends up being 4th.
57:07
Yeah, I think he could be that now I just he would be in the
57:11
mix of it because there was a six like a 50 point drop off to
57:16
Spencer. Spencer was fourth place and
57:19
then Luke and Jack were tied and Ty was first and then there was
57:23
like a 50 point drop off and then it was Spencer because
57:26
sterner got almost last place in the sandbag event, right.
57:29
I I think Taylor can get 4th right now in his current
57:33
situation, but I don't know how. Yeah, I think he he comes top
57:39
five in metal March. He wins the last event.
57:44
He's probably top five in Yoker, Peter Isabel.
57:47
He gets hurt like he gets hurt in Isabel no matter what.
57:52
But and then what's the? What's the other minimum?
57:54
Regional's revenge? Regional's revenge.
57:58
He, I mean, probably like what Spencer Panchik did.
58:01
And then in athletes and then athletes only.
58:04
Where Spencer was but. Right.
58:06
Like I think he'd be around Spencer in different ways of
58:11
getting there, but I think he'd be around around where Spencer
58:14
was. And that's fourth place, so he'd
58:16
be 4th to 5th right now. Yeah, Kevin Carrick thinks he
58:20
would have been fifth top five, hypothetically speaking.
58:24
Me too. Kevin Carrick's super fit,
58:27
though, He's really good at those things.
58:29
I hear he's a thick legged thing.
58:35
Before we move on, anything else you guys want to talk about on
58:37
Sonica? Crown Yeah, The main thing, the
58:41
main. I got the, I got the the benefit
58:44
of being on the B team and doing the first two heats and by the
58:47
second day it was it. It was interesting because there
58:51
was always somebody who is setting a record in the first
58:54
two heats or close to, but generally the athletes who were
59:00
in those heats belonged in those heats.
59:03
And I drove back the night, Sunday night, and talked to
59:09
Hitler for two straight hours. And I had a long time to just
59:13
think about what had happened. Probably the best way to do it
59:16
'cause like you can really go through.
59:18
And I thought about Brian and how Brian's always talking about
59:21
like, John, you're like, only cover the best athletes, right?
59:27
And it's like, well, actually you only cover the best athletes
59:33
stats. And that's the thing that Brian
59:35
gets pissed that we do or we don't do is we don't cover the
59:38
bottom athlete stats. We don't care because guess
59:41
what? You're not producing stats that
59:42
anybody really gives a shit about because you're a lower
59:45
level athlete. But we highlighted probably
59:49
every single athlete who. Was hitting the.
59:51
Bottom 2 heats We did it differently.
59:54
We made a story about you. Theo Kemper, Josh Hayward, any
59:58
of the girls. Emma, Harvey, Rachel.
1:00:00
Blouse. Ryan, Rachel.
1:00:01
Blouse Girl. Yeah.
1:00:03
The the Nadia Somalis that. Yes, I I actually wouldn't talk
1:00:09
to her in the back. What is?
1:00:10
What is? How do you?
1:00:10
Say your name. What is she?
1:00:14
Somalis. Yeah, Iranian.
1:00:16
She's not. Iranian Is she Russian?
1:00:20
I have no idea. Someone who needs to let us know
1:00:22
what Nadia is. I'm sure she's watching.
1:00:27
But. I JRJR told me it was funny.
1:00:30
He goes, I think that might be the top time.
1:00:32
And then from Nadia and or or or he goes, somebody already beat
1:00:37
Taylor's time. And I was like, really?
1:00:38
And he's like, yeah, this that girl.
1:00:40
And I was like, and I go, I could have told you that.
1:00:43
And he goes, you know who she is?
1:00:44
I'm like, no, but look at her. That's generous.
1:00:48
I have no idea. She's always competed in the
1:00:50
United States, so that doesn't help.
1:00:55
She's a little bitty man. She's she's very small.
1:01:00
She's like Lydia Fish like 4 years ago little.
1:01:03
Yeah, dude, yeah, dude. I want Lydia Fish to be good so
1:01:07
bad. Like 4th place with a 29th in
1:01:12
the first event like. Lydia, which just.
1:01:15
Eat it right away, Lydia. Eat everything.
1:01:19
Insight every single meal that you have.
1:01:23
You should hurt yourself. Ten piece chicken nugget.
1:01:26
Every day, No no spin, 20 piece chicken nugget, large fry, large
1:01:32
doctor pepper, sweet and sour sauce.
1:01:35
Five days a week, Lydia and you will make the game.
1:01:38
You might have to like, you know, do some a hard cut a month
1:01:42
before to get your fitness back. But I like girl, please, like
1:01:48
you're so amazing. You just need to hurt your
1:01:52
stomach every single time you eat.
1:01:55
Parents tell her, tell her. Some high ground beef.
1:01:57
Chips and some high ground beef chips.
1:01:59
You need protein, protein. Thanks Josh.
1:02:04
And it's got no carbs in it. You get some high ground beef
1:02:07
chips in you. Lydia, please, I want you to be
1:02:10
good so bad A. 20 piece chicken nugget and a pack.
1:02:14
Of look, Matt used to coach Lexi Neely and she was a tiny little
1:02:18
girl just like you miss Lydia, and then she ate her life away
1:02:22
and now look at her just eating sandbags for breakfast.
1:02:28
Josh is like, I've never worked so hard for a sponsorship my
1:02:31
entire life. If I just get it in my
1:02:36
vernacular jobs, I'll be able to do it real smooth.
1:02:38
I just got to, just got to get in my vernacular.
1:02:42
But the point was, is that like, you know, the the athletes that
1:02:46
that we kind of covered would come up to me and spin
1:02:48
afterwards and be like, thank you guys.
1:02:49
Like my gym's like noticing that you're talking about us, even if
1:02:53
we are like kind of cheating on them just a little bit.
1:02:56
Like we really did want to highlight.
1:02:58
They were fun to watch Josh Hayward taking off his grips.
1:03:00
Like it was it was it was awesome.
1:03:03
And it's like that's the shit that matters, dude.
1:03:05
No one cares about the stats. They care about who the person
1:03:08
is and that there from Murfreesboro.
1:03:12
I just thought about that now, like I've never, at least I've
1:03:16
never seen athletes take clips of what we said and put them in
1:03:22
their stories of other broadcasts.
1:03:26
And there were multiple that did that because we were having fun.
1:03:29
We were telling their story, like putting something behind it
1:03:33
versus, you know, there they go. They're just moving down the
1:03:37
field. Like we tried to have fun with
1:03:38
it. And I mean, I saw Luke Burns
1:03:46
downtown on Sunday night and like he was with Ohio, by the
1:03:50
way, that that shirt on that that he had was Duffy.
1:03:56
What was his name? From.
1:03:59
The the old CrossFit guy. Dumb ugly freaking fat fat
1:04:03
friend. No, no, I want to forget the
1:04:07
name again. He used to be a.
1:04:09
Crossfitter, Luke. Luke Burns.
1:04:12
Jordan. Sorry, Jordan.
1:04:14
He is boys with Nelson from WAD Prep.
1:04:18
I don't know if he's a WAD Prep athlete, he might be, but shout
1:04:20
out to them. Yeah, but we were joking about
1:04:23
his, how he, he like sprinted that first round and like passed
1:04:26
everybody and like those types of things were just fun to talk
1:04:31
to him about and, and highlight and kind of.
1:04:34
Yeah. Connor Dudley, that's what it
1:04:35
was. Yeah.
1:04:36
Connor they were. They were downtown so.
1:04:39
The the thing that I walked away this weekend with, there's
1:04:42
always some like underlying story that I, I tend to pick up
1:04:45
on was, you know, there are athletes.
1:04:48
You OK, John? Yeah, why?
1:04:52
What's going? On is burp or something?
1:04:54
You know, I'm, I'm having some stuff going on.
1:04:57
It's good. We're fine.
1:05:00
I actually haven't eaten very I'm about to cut.
1:05:04
I'm on the opposite train of what I need Lydia to be on.
1:05:07
I haven't eaten any. I ate at 11:00 and I've been
1:05:11
cycling a lot and I'm a little, you know, we're not all there
1:05:14
right now, but we're, we're fine.
1:05:17
The, the, the over or the underlying narrative that came
1:05:20
away with was that they're athletes, like it's like the,
1:05:26
the younger and the newer athletes or the athletes who
1:05:29
like even George Sterner, who's been around for a little while,
1:05:33
but like they, they're dying for CrossFit to succeed.
1:05:37
And that old regionals feel of like we really care about this.
1:05:41
We really want this. That's all there.
1:05:43
And like the Griffin brothers, man, they were playing ball with
1:05:45
us the whole weekend, like winking at us from the, from the
1:05:48
floor while you're doing GHC sit ups.
1:05:50
You did it for your mom, but you also looked at me while you did
1:05:53
it. Yeah, I love Grant.
1:05:56
He he walked up to me. He goes, hey, if I don't beat
1:06:00
Mason in this running workout, I'm just not going to do
1:06:04
CrossFit anymore. He didn't say it like that, but
1:06:08
he said something to that extent.
1:06:09
It was very funny. But they're, they're dying for
1:06:12
CrossFit to succeed despite everything it's been through
1:06:15
over the past couple years. And I almost feel like if you're
1:06:18
like, we're going through all this shit, like we're focusing
1:06:20
on all the wrong narratives, We're focusing on all the wrong
1:06:23
people. And it's like, man, like if we
1:06:27
could just take a step back and realize who, who we do this for
1:06:29
and why we do this. And that's why the saying like
1:06:31
for the for the fans by the fans mattered so much because it's
1:06:35
like the stories that existed behind the scenes were just so
1:06:37
amazing. And so I came away actually
1:06:41
really hopeful for the future because of the, the, the, the
1:06:46
middle, like, even like Reese, like she's the higher level
1:06:51
athlete and she was still itching to like interact with us
1:06:54
and do all this stuff. And it's like that that made
1:06:57
everything feel worth it. Is that that spirit is still
1:07:00
there? Get with the programming $2.00
1:07:04
because there is no dollar 99 option.
1:07:06
Yeah, we're a. Little bit more professional
1:07:10
than the Savon podcast. So we have we're a cent more
1:07:13
than that one. So you have $2.00 to watch us?
1:07:16
Quick look into the community leaderboard lady.
1:07:22
Got three-way tied, Josh. Lady heavy, I assume that's
1:07:25
heavy lifts. I don't.
1:07:27
I can, I have no idea how that works, but that's that's what
1:07:30
YouTube is saying. Top winner at the end of the at
1:07:33
the end of the show gets $100 Australian dollars.
1:07:38
Maybe she hit that, maybe she hit that like and subscribe
1:07:41
button. I might try that.
1:07:43
That might be that might give you some extra points, so it's
1:07:46
worth a shot. I heard if we get over 10,000 it
1:07:50
bumps it to to 200 Australian dollars.
1:07:54
You never know good chances any moving on to the Norcal Classic,
1:08:05
this Norcal Classic two days away.
1:08:11
Oh, we got a question here first before we move on Hoardy and
1:08:14
Eford $5. Thank you.
1:08:16
Do you think the criticism of the broadcast was fair camera
1:08:21
angles, interviews, not put the camera on the event leader,
1:08:24
etcetera, Tyler. Criticism fairs where you show
1:08:32
pigs. Criticism's always good.
1:08:36
I enjoyed listening to the Clydesdale podcast.
1:08:39
But for instance, if we go through this line by line camera
1:08:42
angles, we had both the wide in the in the 1st 2 heats and then
1:08:46
we did more of like the follow the athletes stuff in the last
1:08:49
two heats and it got bitched about both ways.
1:08:52
You guys followed the athletes too much.
1:08:53
You guys should have had the steel Cam.
1:08:55
We had the steel Cam. You didn't notice or the steel
1:08:57
cams, you know, not good enough. We want to see the athletes.
1:09:00
Too far away. Yeah, the.
1:09:01
Cameras should be down on the field and it's like, what do you
1:09:04
want? We can't do both.
1:09:06
Now. What we could have done is put a
1:09:08
camera on each corner and I think that would have gotten us
1:09:10
closer. We didn't know.
1:09:11
We've never done this before so definitely learned lessons on.
1:09:15
That with to do what? Put a camera on each corner and
1:09:21
then we could just cycle between left and right and that way
1:09:23
we're closer to the athletes. We were a little far away.
1:09:27
That was basically the best vantage point we had though, to
1:09:30
get the whole field. Yeah, we we cut off like the
1:09:33
very corners of the finish line because otherwise we'd be so far
1:09:37
back that it was right. Now Norcal will be all outside,
1:09:42
so it's going to be a complete different.
1:09:45
Totally different. Piece What's this lot?
1:09:48
Because I don't I I don't even know what we're doing.
1:09:52
I don't think we have Internet. I don't know.
1:09:57
We definitely the one thing we will have is Internet power is
1:10:00
questionable interviews. I don't think we received any
1:10:04
criticism on the interviews. I know the interviews got a lot
1:10:07
of love like. Yeah.
1:10:10
I mean, yeah, yeah, the people that were on that joined on.
1:10:15
I think we did a good job, at least when the B team was on.
1:10:18
I felt like we did a pretty good job of balancing.
1:10:21
Keeping track of what was happening is also giving them
1:10:25
some love and let them talk and stuff like that, which the Visit
1:10:31
Knoxville guy Savan threw on there at the very last minute.
1:10:35
And Tyler did a great job of asking questions because I was
1:10:38
like, I don't know what to ask this dude.
1:10:40
And I'm still trying to keep track of what the heck's going
1:10:42
on because that was that was the handstand walk event where we
1:10:48
could not see the cards of what round they were on.
1:10:52
And so and, and because the Rep scheme got shorter, they would
1:10:56
go to round four and five like super fast.
1:10:59
So if you weren't keeping track of where they were, next thing
1:11:02
you know they'd finish and you'd like.
1:11:03
So Tyler did a really good job of.
1:11:06
It was, I don't know if you all have ever noticed, like when we
1:11:10
have people on our show to interview them, I'm always
1:11:13
silent. I don't like I don't ever know
1:11:15
how to do what spin does and like interviews these people.
1:11:19
During that one, it was like I came out was like I've been
1:11:22
shooting threes my entire life. It's the greatest performance
1:11:25
for of an interview I'll probably ever have.
1:11:29
I. With the sports commissioner of
1:11:31
Visit Knoxville. We just talked about the venue
1:11:35
the whole time. But I mean, like Taylor killed
1:11:40
it. I mean like he made every on
1:11:42
floor interviewer ever look like they had no idea what they were
1:11:47
doing. Like his questions were next
1:11:49
level. None of them felt forced except
1:11:52
for Spencer, which like Spencer, I got to hand it to you man.
1:11:55
You just should have played ball like you really took what Scott
1:12:00
did in making that real about John and like what he said and
1:12:04
you just threw it in the trash can.
1:12:06
It could have been a lot better. It could have.
1:12:08
Been it could have been so much better and the and the the
1:12:10
Internet you that you gave of like talking about the
1:12:13
community. We've heard that interview 1000
1:12:15
times. It doesn't mean anything
1:12:16
anymore. Like make the sport entertaining
1:12:20
and just like shit back on John. He shit on your family.
1:12:23
Just shit right back on it like that was the only.
1:12:30
Interview Yeah, Spencer. And and John wanted you cheered
1:12:35
for Spencer after he showed you up.
1:12:38
Do it. It was an amazing moment.
1:12:39
It was amazing. Somebody goes, you suck, and in
1:12:43
the very next event you beat everybody and do something Jr.
1:12:47
said. Was impossible for a guy to do.
1:12:49
Taylor couldn't do it. And Taylor was convinced he's
1:12:51
the best person in the world at this workout.
1:12:53
And no, it's an it's an amazing moment.
1:12:57
I was happy. I'm happy for him.
1:13:00
It was I. I think when people when we do
1:13:03
our predictions, I think people in in comment.
1:13:06
First of all, I don't think we remember what we say half the
1:13:08
time, no. Second of all, there's there's
1:13:12
two things that can go really well.
1:13:14
You're you're perfect, right, like your predictions, you nail
1:13:17
it right, like so John picking tie at the top and getting
1:13:20
that's that's awesome. But then when somebody comes out
1:13:23
and proves you wrong and like, shows you up, it's just, it's
1:13:28
just as good, right, like. And now it's much, much more
1:13:31
good for you than me, obviously. But the moment like that, that
1:13:37
moment would not have been there if it wasn't for that
1:13:41
interaction. Well, so this brings up a point
1:13:44
that I thought a lot about on the ride home, the general, the
1:13:47
general scheme. And I'm going to shoot on Chase
1:13:49
just a little bit, but it's only because, like, he's a buddy.
1:13:52
Suck a chase. They just like they just talk
1:13:55
about the splits these guys are holding, what the movement does
1:13:57
to people, all of that stuff. And it's like it's generally
1:14:00
like just kind of the straight, straight same talk.
1:14:03
Like it's broadcast sports talk the entire time, but like the
1:14:07
the element that we insert into this whole thing, not to pat
1:14:10
ourselves on the back, but I'm going to a little bit is that
1:14:13
like we're in it and like we're talking shit about the athletes
1:14:16
regularly. We know the athletes, we're
1:14:19
friends with some of the athletes and we have some
1:14:21
storylines going with one of these prime example being
1:14:23
Spencer. And so like when when somebody
1:14:27
shows up or wins or does something, it means so much more
1:14:29
because there's a storyline associated with it as opposed to
1:14:32
hey, so and so got first in this event that like is another
1:14:36
event. I mean, I joked as the, the, the
1:14:39
competition went on, I was like, you know, what I'd do is I'd
1:14:41
just stop with the kettle bells down, right?
1:14:44
Or go faster on the rope climbs and the, and the, and the double
1:14:47
unders. That would never fly on a
1:14:50
CrossFit Games broadcast, right? Or like that's being simulcast
1:14:55
to the ESPN. Like people be like, what are
1:14:57
you talking about? Like that's, that's ridiculous.
1:15:00
And we had the freedom and the flexibility to do that.
1:15:03
And I thought I enjoyed just making those jokes.
1:15:06
It would those those shows are those like when we get to do the
1:15:10
beanie team stuff, like I haven't had that much fun and I
1:15:13
have never broadcasted before. Not like that.
1:15:17
And like spin held his played his part and he freaking
1:15:20
murdered it and gave me and Pedro and Jenny just all the
1:15:23
room to do whatever we felt. And I felt like for you, John,
1:15:27
that was the same thing. Like you just got to talk about
1:15:29
what you want to talk about. And there was not this, there
1:15:32
was not this control on like you have to stay within this box.
1:15:36
It was like generally like don't say crazy, terrible shit, but
1:15:40
like you have this wide range of area that you can fill and you
1:15:45
got to just be yourself. I never like thought, Oh, I need
1:15:48
to like tighten it up or be like just talked.
1:15:51
And it was so it was so much fun.
1:15:53
And I, I felt like people could feel that who like just don't
1:15:57
avidly hate us, could feel that on the stream itself.
1:16:01
And so I thought it was like, can we do this at the games?
1:16:05
Probably not. But like in the semifinals
1:16:07
context, I think for damn sure. I think, yeah, I mean, I think
1:16:11
if it was for the games, we would be under rules and like we
1:16:15
would, we would need to practice with said rules.
1:16:18
Yeah, Speaking of Chase, Vicki figured it out, $1.99 super
1:16:22
sticker. Thank you, Vicki Barry, MC
1:16:25
Cochner, $5 span. You should broadcast more
1:16:28
events. I don't.
1:16:30
I don't. I can't.
1:16:31
Afford him, he's $150,000, a whole lot that.
1:16:34
Would be cool. What about the games like the
1:16:35
first two heats is kind of like what we do and then the last two
1:16:40
heats are? Are I'll tell you, I'll tell you
1:16:43
what. Chase and Bill, you know what I
1:16:44
mean? Like.
1:16:45
It would be amazing. I like I would.
1:16:47
Watch more Yeah, that's true. It's like the XFL does like two
1:16:51
quarters and then you got the NFL game.
1:16:54
Or let us just do the spin cast. Let's just let us do a dual cast
1:16:57
and see how how we pull. The three of us will do the spin
1:17:01
cast. 2B team members and a team member.
1:17:04
I think we could do pretty well. So anyway, Norcal Classic, we
1:17:12
don't know any of the events except is there a truck pull
1:17:17
coming up? Is there well, is it safe?
1:17:22
I would. I think I would think of
1:17:27
something else. Would you?
1:17:31
Just like the the 100 elites would go through it and it would
1:17:34
be like a less than a minute effort.
1:17:36
Could you OK it will be done just like the the 100 elites
1:17:40
would go. Zooming in.
1:17:45
Truck hole. I think he wrote that just for
1:17:48
you, Spin. It will be done.
1:17:49
You think so? Just like terrible, the 100
1:17:51
elites would go through it and it would be like a less than a
1:17:54
minute effort. Could you?
1:17:56
Oh, OK, I don't. Know what do you think you think
1:18:00
You think it's just literally a troll.
1:18:02
I don't think it's a troll. I just don't think you.
1:18:05
I don't think it's what you think it is.
1:18:09
I with the heats though, that that's the whole thing that sets
1:18:13
it off because you can like what are you going to have two
1:18:15
trucks? What are you going?
1:18:16
To do for three minute. Heats, not that.
1:18:22
Why? Why, John, why can't they have a
1:18:24
truck pull? Because they have one that they
1:18:25
have one. That's wrong, man.
1:18:27
I just think, yeah, that you're right.
1:18:29
I think it won't be that. What do you think it's going to
1:18:33
be, John I? Don't know.
1:18:36
I, I I. It's because John does know.
1:18:42
I have 0 idea. I don't I We'll see.
1:18:47
I just don't give. A fuck.
1:18:51
I just don't think it's a truck pool, OK?
1:18:54
Tyler, you don't. Know I I think a truck of some
1:18:56
sorts will be involved. There you go.
1:19:00
Truck of some sort is involved. OK.
1:19:03
All right. Fair enough.
1:19:05
You try to wiggle out. That was an.
1:19:07
Impressive. I'm warming up the JY.
1:19:09
Look at that. And Tyler is so nice.
1:19:13
Just say what it is. I don't know what it is.
1:19:18
First of all, I don't like being told those types of things.
1:19:22
I'd rather find it and share it. What do you mean?
1:19:28
Like if somebody told me that, like if if somebody had told me
1:19:32
syndicate workouts ahead of time, right?
1:19:37
And then there's something that's kind of sneaky or or not
1:19:41
sneaky, but you have to do some sleuthing to find it.
1:19:46
I'd feel bad for posting it even though I found it publicly.
1:19:50
Oh, you post stuff all the time that you find.
1:19:54
Yeah, what I'm saying, but it's not like if Jr. gave.
1:19:56
It to work for it. I want to work for it and find
1:19:59
it and share it for sure. I don't want to.
1:20:01
I don't want somebody to give me the inside information because
1:20:05
I'm friends with Jr. or whatever, right?
1:20:07
You don't want to kill a rabbit that has 2 broken.
1:20:09
Legs. Yeah.
1:20:10
No, but you like the chase? You like the chase A?
1:20:13
Lot and we'll get to that here at the last segment.
1:20:15
Sure. You're like the best one at it.
1:20:17
So like, but yeah. Yeah, it's obviously a truck
1:20:23
push. Obviously it's not a truck pull,
1:20:28
it's a truck push. Either way, it's going to be a
1:20:32
one minute workout. Yeah, very short, just kind of
1:20:36
funky thing. Are they going to get shit for
1:20:41
it? I don't think so.
1:20:44
It's just OK. 1. Of eight scored workouts.
1:20:48
Yeah, they they have actually like a lot of workouts.
1:20:51
So this is just one of them. It let's play make believe and
1:20:56
just assume that it's a truck pool.
1:20:58
I I like that as an event. I said we're playing make
1:21:05
believe. I I just have a cold man.
1:21:09
I like it, I think it's fun. It'll be it'll make crazy reels
1:21:13
and go viral if it's in a boatload of tests.
1:21:18
That makes a difference because it's like you can't, you kind of
1:21:20
can't do that if you don't have like a lot of tests to weed that
1:21:22
out and. So.
1:21:25
Boatload. Is it a boat?
1:21:30
Pull it drunk with a boat. Maybe so.
1:21:47
Oh, that got me. All right.
1:21:48
Go go, keep going. Go with your make believe thing.
1:21:52
Nothing, just that I think I think it wouldn't be a terrible
1:21:54
event. A boat pull or a truck pull.
1:21:59
Well, you pick. Either one.
1:22:02
Did you see the weather? No, it's gonna be like. 57 at
1:22:06
night in high of 92 in the afternoon.
1:22:10
The equipment will not overheat at all.
1:22:12
I live in that now do. Not everybody does though.
1:22:16
John are. We doing my top 10?
1:22:18
Is that what we're doing might be able to indicate?
1:22:24
We'll do top five. OK, why not ten?
1:22:28
It's already 8:00 and we were told 10 to 15 minutes Max is all
1:22:32
we got. Blind.
1:22:32
Rankings. We still got blind rankings.
1:22:34
And what's you doing? All right, all right, all right,
1:22:36
fine, all. Right.
1:22:37
If you're not top five, it doesn't matter.
1:22:39
Tier was doing. It'll find out the full rankings
1:22:41
tomorrow when I post it early tomorrow morning.
1:22:44
OK, you want to go 5 through 1 or one through 5?
1:22:47
I want. To do 5 through.
1:22:49
I got in trouble when I started the top of the mountain, John.
1:22:54
OK, so. 5-4 and then you go 3 and.
1:22:57
Then my we'll go men first, OK? My 5:00 and 4:00 is Nate
1:23:02
Ackerman and Jorge Fernandez. Nate Ackerman and Jorge
1:23:08
Fernandez. Yeah, I think I'm going to.
1:23:12
I'm think I'm going to flip you off for a loop when you hear
1:23:14
these, All right. And then my 3 and my number 3.
1:23:20
There you go. Is Maximilian Creek.
1:23:24
We created him in a in a semifinal, yet have we?
1:23:27
We have not. He was not.
1:23:28
We haven't seen. I don't have Ibarra because he
1:23:34
he has informed me that he will not be there.
1:23:37
Grandson he was sick dude. Be friendly podcast.
1:23:40
No dude, just you'll be fine. By the way there.
1:23:44
And then my, my #2 who's going to, it's going to be his first
1:23:50
time that he qualifies for the games.
1:23:52
And I don't know if he's watching, but get your whatever
1:23:57
you get out Hitler, because Billiam Leahy the 4th is going
1:24:03
to be my #2. #2 he's qualifying for the games.
1:24:06
He's qualifying for the Games and I know every single
1:24:10
competition he does he messes up the first event and then just
1:24:16
sucks on day one and then after day one he's good.
1:24:19
He's good. He always like climbs back to
1:24:21
like 5th place but he just sucks all the time.
1:24:23
At day 1A. Lot, a lot, yeah.
1:24:27
Something happens, tears his Achilles, whatever.
1:24:29
Same same situation. He messes up somehow, so.
1:24:32
Who's third again? 3rd is Max Krieg and 2 is.
1:24:37
So Bill that he's going to the CrossFit Games and who's number
1:24:39
one? Number one's Colton.
1:24:41
So Colton, I can't go because he already qualified.
1:24:44
So that means Max Krieg. Is going to the.
1:24:47
Game bill he is going to. That's who I've predicted.
1:24:51
Wow. Now if you if I will say, I
1:24:54
think I think Jorge, I think 2 through 7, two through 7,
1:25:03
honestly have a shot at getting those top 2 spots.
1:25:06
So are the two tickets to the game.
1:25:08
So we're just going to act like Colton wins.
1:25:10
I think so all the way down to my 7th I think has a shot to
1:25:13
make it. I'll go ahead and say their
1:25:14
names just real quick because 6 I have Spencer Panczyk and then
1:25:19
seven I have Mathias Porter and we haven't seen Mathias Porter
1:25:25
in a long time. I don't think he did online semi
1:25:29
finals but Mathias Porter is a home run hitter.
1:25:36
And I just he can mess this up. I think he's going to hit some
1:25:39
home runs, that's all I'm saying.
1:25:41
Nice. So keeping it real, I like
1:25:44
appreciate the $2.00 this is wrong.
1:25:46
What's the call in number? Don't got one?
1:25:49
Not today, but thank you for the $2.00.
1:25:52
That's $100 deposit there. That's right.
1:25:55
And that's, that's my thing. So, yeah.
1:25:58
And then for the women. Why?
1:26:00
Why not Spencer Panschek? After what you saw this week?
1:26:02
There's no heavy Isabel. There is heavy Elizabeth.
1:26:06
Oh, there is, that's right, there is heavy visible.
1:26:09
Next gotcha on that one. Sorry.
1:26:12
Sorry, Spencer. I'm sorry.
1:26:18
I wanted it before you pivot to the women.
1:26:21
I do think I understand the truck pool event.
1:26:23
It will be an actual truck pool where you have to bring your
1:26:26
truck and pull like at the fair, in which case Trista Smith is
1:26:31
going to the games. Anyway, the reason why I have
1:26:36
Spencer at six is because 1, he just won three events.
1:26:40
He won three events and still was fourth place, right?
1:26:46
Like I just like he it went about as well as it could have
1:26:49
gone and he still wasn't good enough.
1:26:51
And I understand that he had bad events too.
1:26:54
I just don't think he's going to win three events again.
1:26:58
Do you think the men's field is stronger or weaker than
1:27:03
Syndicate? I would say probably.
1:27:07
Weaker. You hear that, Grant?
1:27:09
OK, next women. For the women, my #5 is Carolyn
1:27:15
Prevo. OK.
1:27:18
My number 4 is Sydney Wells. Damn dude.
1:27:24
Just shy of it again, OK. And then my number 3 is Hattie
1:27:28
Canyon. Now I understand Hattie's been
1:27:31
like dealing with some stuff. And like if that shoulder.
1:27:33
Injury, right And like if her shoulder injury is bad, then
1:27:37
then you know this is a toss up. This is it's a toss up, right?
1:27:40
If she can't do some stuff, then she can't do some stuff, right,
1:27:42
but she's still competing. She is going to be.
1:27:45
There for. Sure, so I don't think she would
1:27:47
compete if she didn't think she had a shot to to be OK.
1:27:52
But if it's, if it's bad, you know, then it's bad and she will
1:27:57
not be in it. But I have her number 3 and
1:28:00
that's just if it's OK now #2 and she will be going to the
1:28:05
CrossFit Games, That's Kristen Halti.
1:28:11
Kristen Halti, you smoking? You smoking some pot over there?
1:28:20
You look like you just hit something you've never hit
1:28:22
before. I wish I had, it wouldn't be as
1:28:28
hard, right? Kristen.
1:28:29
Holt, the the South African. Queen herself Kristen Holtz is
1:28:34
going to go to the crossword. Wow, that's amazing.
1:28:36
And I'm going to say she accepts it. 100%, I think she's a Ben
1:28:40
Smith. She's going to go out there.
1:28:42
And the only difference is there's a challenge for her.
1:28:44
She's going to. She's going to do it.
1:28:47
She was seventh in the Open this year, and she did the workout
1:28:50
immediately after it was announced, like in the middle of
1:28:53
the night. She wants to see if she's still
1:28:55
got it and if I hurt Hattie Kanyo and Sydney Wells is her
1:28:59
toughest competition. I mean, come on now.
1:29:03
So who wins that? Alex Kazan, I think wins it
1:29:07
pretty convincingly. I'll be.
1:29:10
HC Kazan just crushes. It, you know, it's it's, it's
1:29:13
all good. She feels great.
1:29:15
I mean, she's on whatever Tyler's on right now.
1:29:17
Not enough. I think a great prop bet it
1:29:20
would be who wins by more Colton or Alex.
1:29:25
I think it would be a great. Problem I think Alex.
1:29:28
I I don't have Emily Rolfe there because I don't think she will
1:29:33
be participating. She had an Instagram post of her
1:29:38
doing a wicked imam in her words.
1:29:41
I don't think she'd be doing that the day before a
1:29:43
competition or two days before the competition.
1:29:46
She also had an elbow sleeve, so she looks like she's dealing
1:29:48
with something. It might have been new or old.
1:29:50
I'm not sure he's talking about it.
1:29:53
I know, I'm just speculating. I don't, I don't know.
1:29:56
I don't know anything but this is October, October 7th.
1:30:01
Get that going. Ready, spin.
1:30:03
We're halfway there. Whoa, spin.
1:30:05
Thank you, Lee. Looking at good grief, what?
1:30:08
He's just pulling up public information here.
1:30:11
Look at that. It's so fast I can't pause it.
1:30:14
But you see that on her our elbow.
1:30:16
Anyway, I don't want to harp on it.
1:30:18
It just looks like she has an injury of some kind.
1:30:21
I don't know if she does. I'm not saying that I I'm
1:30:25
neither confirming nor deny that she probably definitely suffered
1:30:29
an injury at the World Fitness Project.
1:30:32
I don't know at all. I just, this is just what I
1:30:35
think and then so I don't have her if she were competing, and I
1:30:42
think people should take notes on this, if she were competing,
1:30:48
was competing, she would be 5th place in this competition.
1:30:53
So she's not. Probably good she's not going
1:30:54
then. Now there is a huge, huge like
1:30:58
kind of thing I just said, and if anybody hits on it then
1:31:01
you'll you'll, you know, you'll know some stuff, but that's it.
1:31:06
OK, all right, on to the next 1/5.
1:31:07
Don't understand 5th place OK. That's what I would say.
1:31:11
I would say she would come in 5th.
1:31:12
And I know when you post it tomorrow, I have a little
1:31:14
asterisk that says if Emily Rolf is competing 5th place and I
1:31:18
want you to put. That in Where's Trista?
1:31:21
Not in the top five. Trista's going to the games.
1:31:24
Trista Smith is 8th place. Is Trista Smith a Seth Stovall?
1:31:29
No, she's different. She's different.
1:31:30
No, the same the same thing is like she just missed it, just
1:31:33
like Seth did last year. But it's tough to be top two.
1:31:38
It's easier to be 11th. 100 percent, 100, That's what I
1:31:42
meant by that. Yes, yes, yes, yes, 100%.
1:31:44
That's the case with Trista Smith.
1:31:45
Mark it down good, Frazier. Look at this 4999 man.
1:31:50
Thank you, Lee. Thank you, Lee.
1:31:51
Tyler So Trista Smith, your Ben Smith pick.
1:31:55
No, no, no. You tell us.
1:31:57
Can you tell us who will be the Tyler Christafel?
1:32:03
Dude he was on fire with his bad picks this weekend.
1:32:05
He dude, he has a freaking gift, I'm telling you right now.
1:32:11
If you are competing this weekend and.
1:32:13
Can I say your name? Just go.
1:32:15
Just withdraw. I, I don't know, I'll have to
1:32:19
look at that. I'll I'll post my my Tyler
1:32:23
Christopher pick after probably the next couple days.
1:32:27
Speaking of Tyler Christopher, his wife Bailey Rail is doing
1:32:31
like a vlog series on the CrossFit YouTube channel if you
1:32:34
want to check that out. So there you go, Norcal Classic,
1:32:42
check that out. Is the women's field stronger or
1:32:44
weaker than Syndicate? The women's fields.
1:32:50
Grant says it's like the toughest field of any semi
1:32:53
final. Yeah, he's absolutely insane
1:32:55
too, so there's. That, I mean, like Hattie Carano
1:32:59
is pretty much like Carolyn Stanley equivalent Kristen
1:33:03
Halter. I know she's a master.
1:33:09
Is he talking about like with Bailey Bailey, because because
1:33:14
he he didn't and CrossFit Bailey Bailey's beautiful.
1:33:19
Like see, that's great. But I I think I think Norcal is
1:33:23
a weaker field overall than than Syndicate.
1:33:30
I do want to make this note, I think I went full trash panda by
1:33:35
accident at the syndicate ground.
1:33:37
We we said who's going to win the who's going to do well in
1:33:39
this heat? He literally picks a name and
1:33:41
the guy just like bombs it well. I was I was talking about me
1:33:46
literally podcasting from a trash can.
1:33:50
Yes. You were and I, I didn't put two
1:33:53
and two together until I reposted it yesterday and I was
1:33:55
like Oh my God, I've become a meme of myself.
1:34:00
I guess we should be on the blind rankings.
1:34:03
We're getting getting out of time.
1:34:05
Let's see, here we go. Tyler, I think you should like
1:34:09
make little reels and like go to your trash can and be like and
1:34:13
then like get little pieces of paper and then you pick up the
1:34:15
piece of paper out of the trash can and then reveal a name and
1:34:18
that's who's going to stuck in this event.
1:34:21
And then you just do it for every competition, every event,
1:34:24
dude, I think everybody would love it.
1:34:26
You don't say. I'll do that from home for
1:34:28
every. Event right, right, and then
1:34:29
just want a piece of paper and put it in the trash and then
1:34:32
take a or have a have Jeanette take a picture of you or a video
1:34:36
of you and then you just pull it out and like uncrinkle it and
1:34:40
then reveal whatever name is going to be terrible in the
1:34:43
event. Let's see where's right there it
1:34:46
is get with the programming 500 watching smash and like that
1:34:51
button subscribe the race to 10,000.
1:34:55
That's right, get on the leaderboard.
1:34:56
We'll have to check out after blind rankings how close we're
1:34:58
getting. All right, the blind rankings
1:35:00
this week, what are the Norcal storylines we're going to be
1:35:03
talking about next week? What will we talk about?
1:35:11
Any guesses? I have no Holton.
1:35:13
No clue. Yeah, South African Queen.
1:35:18
First one is not Grant being number, Grant being right.
1:35:22
That's not, don't, don't count on that one.
1:35:25
We're going to talk about who qualifies.
1:35:30
Yeah, 3 the most important one. But if we're talking about that,
1:35:34
is that the most? Is that the number one storyline
1:35:36
next week? Oh, I would say 2, dude, it's
1:35:42
the most important thing. We talked about Reese
1:35:46
Littlewood. That's who qualifies.
1:35:47
We're talking about Ty Jenkins. He qualified.
1:35:49
We talked about George Strunner dying at the end.
1:35:53
That's who, Chris. Didn't.
1:35:54
Qualify no, but like that she didn't like she was going fine
1:35:58
thing and then she didn't. Like who's going to let John
1:36:01
know? I will, I will, I will concede
1:36:07
to three. I just.
1:36:09
Think. Well, hear me out, Hear me out.
1:36:12
You can make your decision. I will concede to three.
1:36:15
I just think if we're honest with ourselves, we will talk
1:36:18
about who qualifies probably more than everything else.
1:36:21
I think you're saying that because you, you're someone who
1:36:24
that like you, you really care about that.
1:36:26
But I think and and likewise, my bias is that I care about all
1:36:31
the other storylines other than like, if this is like if Sydney
1:36:35
qualifies, like that's a big deal.
1:36:37
She's been like she's been in the trenches for this for a
1:36:40
minute. And so that's a big deal.
1:36:45
I'll give you, I'll give it a two.
1:36:47
I will see the two all. Right #2.
1:36:49
His seating was harder than my seating.
1:36:54
Yeah, Tyler spoke too soon. All right, Next up, the odd
1:36:58
events like a truck pull. Maybe they're a boat pull.
1:37:01
She's made the games before. Because she this season in
1:37:05
particular, like, it kind of looks like she's not going to
1:37:08
make it. It would be fun that the well
1:37:10
sisters are in the games together.
1:37:12
That would be cool. A big deal.
1:37:13
That'd be cool. I mean, the Pantex did it.
1:37:15
It wasn't anything crazy, so. Yeah, what about the odd events
1:37:20
like a boat? Three.
1:37:22
OK, 4. Oh wow, I'm not going to talk
1:37:25
about a boat. Boat pull.
1:37:27
We already talked about it all. Right.
1:37:28
Like if it's crazy. Crazy.
1:37:30
What if there's a bucket hold again and pool boy wins and he
1:37:33
goes to the games? I hope there's no bucket hold.
1:37:36
Pool Boy would not go to the games.
1:37:38
He won that event. He won that event.
1:37:42
He's not competing. Yeah, he is, bum, elbow and all.
1:37:45
Really. Yeah, him and Addie, that's.
1:37:49
Right Next up, the live stream 2 point O.
1:37:53
Which is big. This is big.
1:37:55
Probably #1 because every it's, it's the second week that all
1:38:01
the trolls are going to get their moments to troll.
1:38:03
And so it'll be the hottest talked about thing for sure.
1:38:05
It also gives us a chance to improve.
1:38:08
Yes. Or or deep or regress under 1.
1:38:14
Yeah, under, under, under proof. The circumstances are much
1:38:20
harder this this go, I think. Yeah, I agree.
1:38:23
Like and people might not understand that we don't know.
1:38:26
We don't have a plug in. Hey so I've heard there's a lot
1:38:32
of homeless encampments around there.
1:38:34
I have too. If you use the homeless are the
1:38:37
last thing that we're worried about first.
1:38:38
First of all, first, if you're out there and it gets a little
1:38:43
bit dark, just be careful. Like there are homeless
1:38:47
encampments. I saw something that somebody
1:38:48
had collected like a whole bunch of needles from the area.
1:38:50
Like there's a a, it's right next to the river and right down
1:38:55
the way there was like somebody's been collecting
1:38:57
needles in that area and like they have all these jugs of like
1:39:02
ridiculous amounts of needles, so.
1:39:04
So if you cleaned up, if you pop, you could just say it's one
1:39:07
from more homelessness. You could.
1:39:10
It's not my fault. But like, I don't know how you
1:39:12
guys move equipment between the stages.
1:39:15
You can't just leave it plugged in all night because I'm not
1:39:19
sure it's the safest to do that. So good luck.
1:39:25
So sorry Susa, Next up, who doesn't qualify what?
1:39:32
This is stupid. It's been I'm we're putting that
1:39:36
in what? Who qualifies?
1:39:38
It's not. Those are different people.
1:39:40
Three, it's the same thing. I would say it's a 5 actually,
1:39:44
because I think who qualifies is very much more important than
1:39:47
who doesn't qual, unless unless somebody loses the last event
1:39:50
and they had like a sure shot. What?
1:39:53
What if Alex Gazan does not qualify?
1:39:54
You think that we'll talk about that more than we talk about who
1:39:57
qualifies. We can we can play the if game
1:39:59
all we want to. Man, if a frog had wings.
1:40:04
He wouldn't bump his butt when he jumps.
1:40:06
His. Butt.
1:40:07
Got it. Butt jumps at his Butt bumps the
1:40:11
ground every time he jumps. Give it to John.
1:40:15
Give him the three. No, no, no, I'm good.
1:40:16
Let's go 55 it up. I don't want to be cornered into
1:40:21
a hole. I want.
1:40:22
Him Colt powers event 4 Wrestling the Homeless.
1:40:25
That'd be a good event. That would be good.
1:40:28
And the last one, when we talk about the heat, we have some
1:40:33
Burt houses. I told you, John.
1:40:35
Was A5. You said 5 originally.
1:40:38
I seeded to you. I seeded.
1:40:40
To you. First, yeah, but you seeded
1:40:42
harder the first time, so I wanted to match your seeding.
1:40:45
And then now we're our list is dumb.
1:40:50
You the seed, the the most, the most last seed gets the trump.
1:40:54
And you screwed that up, John. You don't even know what you
1:40:57
just said. We talked about the heat last
1:40:59
year. It was in the 90s.
1:41:01
There were dudes like Sanson was going to the hospital because he
1:41:05
was having a heat stroke. Nobody had water.
1:41:08
They're all dying out there. Like it could be a storyline.
1:41:11
The storyline, I will. I will care about that.
1:41:14
Storyline, though. This storyline is is hugely
1:41:18
important is if Brian Friends goes and then understands that
1:41:22
Dave Castro will be there and then leaves, that's the
1:41:25
storyline that I care about. I.
1:41:26
Thought Dave was going, I thought.
1:41:28
I'm pretty sure he is. I No, no, no, I'm serious.
1:41:32
I am serious. OK, I.
1:41:34
He went last year for a day. Yeah, I don't.
1:41:37
I think he's coming just for a day.
1:41:38
I don't think he's coming the whole time.
1:41:40
Somebody put a camera on Brian. What if they do like a Fraser
1:41:45
Froning handshake? Don't be.
1:41:48
Gay. That won't happen, but that's
1:41:52
cool. There you go.
1:41:56
Look at this. Vicky Blind Rankings is probably
1:41:57
my favorite part of any of the podcasts.
1:41:59
Wow, thank. You on on a Wednesday night at
1:42:05
7:30. That's right.
1:42:08
What's it doing? What's it doing?
1:42:11
Dear, what's it doing? Speaking of me finding things
1:42:14
tier. Tier wasn't that's that took me
1:42:17
a minute. That took me a minute.
1:42:18
You're you guys are welcome. The elite divisions at Tier
1:42:22
Water Palooza Miami Beach next March 2026.
1:42:26
We're going to have less athletes.
1:42:29
So previously the top 20 men and women from the online qualifier,
1:42:33
you know, got to go. And then like everybody that
1:42:35
went to the Games and previous Water Palooza podium finishers
1:42:38
and winners and Games winners could just accept their invites.
1:42:43
The rule book said that there would be a smaller field.
1:42:49
Only 5 athletes per the rule book as of yesterday said the
1:42:55
top five of the OC qualifier plus 15 invites for the criteria
1:43:00
will go 20. Athletes will go much smaller
1:43:05
field and the teams of three will be limited to just a
1:43:09
handful. Do you like the smaller field in
1:43:13
Wadapalooza? No, I.
1:43:17
OK. I, I think, I think they have
1:43:21
Waza Socal and that's, that's your showcase and then of just
1:43:25
the pros, right? And I would think that when
1:43:27
actually that went really, really well.
1:43:29
And I think Wadapalooza should stay like big time community and
1:43:32
have all the people go and celebrate and party and work out
1:43:35
and all that stuff. I think you're messing with it
1:43:38
and I don't think it's going to go well.
1:43:40
Well, you're not. You're not cutting out the
1:43:42
community, though. You're keeping the community.
1:43:44
You're just cutting the pros. They're actually adding a bunch
1:43:46
of pairs divisions. So lots of pairs.
1:43:52
OK, never mind. I I thought you said they were
1:43:56
going down the teams a lot. That's what I thought you.
1:43:58
Said the pair the teams of three to limit the 30 elite.
1:44:02
OK, I thought, I thought you were saying that team.
1:44:05
Looks like they're going to add pairs.
1:44:09
General registration, no qualifier leaderboard, just 20
1:44:13
RX, 40 intermediate and 20 open of a male female pair.
1:44:20
A male male pair and it's female female pair.
1:44:22
So a lots of pair competition. That's my fault.
1:44:25
I I I thought you were saying like in total but from but.
1:44:28
From our standpoint where we were following the elite
1:44:32
athletes, do we like having a smaller field or do we like it
1:44:35
when basically anybody that was at the Games can go compete?
1:44:40
Why? Why do you I think this?
1:44:44
This looks like more like a rogue type style field maybe?
1:44:49
I think Waterpalooza is pivoting to this athlete highlight and
1:44:53
making it a showcase of, of, of of the pro athletes.
1:44:56
In which case you'll have an easier time doing that with the
1:44:58
elite male and elite and females.
1:45:02
The the thing that I'm thinking here is that they didn't bump
1:45:04
down the elite teams of three, correct?
1:45:08
They are down a little bit. I think last year they had like
1:45:10
40 teams like like. That so.
1:45:13
It's a little bit it's, it's not too bad because you know the
1:45:17
bottom of the teams, the teams are three.
1:45:19
They were. They weren't not competitive.
1:45:21
Do you think that they'll get more of a, more of the elites
1:45:27
will want to do that the team competition and they're, they're
1:45:30
kind of just go ahead and get it out in front of it and saying,
1:45:33
Hey, we're only going to take the top 20 because like that's
1:45:35
kind of probably who's going to show up.
1:45:37
And then hopefully anybody who doesn't do that competition will
1:45:41
do like more of the elites will do the team competition.
1:45:44
Because I could very well see that being the case.
1:45:46
And which think I, I think it's a smart pivot, especially
1:45:49
considering WFP and all that stuff.
1:45:53
Yeah, I just think the individuals also doing team is
1:45:57
like the best thing that water Palooza has going for it.
1:46:01
Now I get what you're saying completely Tyler, and maybe it's
1:46:03
a good thing and maybe it works out and more, more of the elites
1:46:06
will do the team competition because of that fact, right.
1:46:10
Maybe I just think when you can do individual comp and it's 2
1:46:14
days and then you can do team comp and it's two days.
1:46:17
I like, I like how they, it's different than anything and they
1:46:22
found a way to make that work. And now I don't know if they're
1:46:25
making money off of it, but it's very entertaining.
1:46:28
We enjoy talking about it every single year.
1:46:31
And it's not like we come down from the individual's side.
1:46:34
Like we're just as pumped up for the team side, especially if
1:46:38
we're invested. I think we're more invested like
1:46:40
2 years ago than this last year. But that part of it's very fun
1:46:45
and I just think they have it down.
1:46:48
It works for them. If you mess with it, it's got a
1:46:52
chance of not working, but maybe it works better.
1:46:55
Yeah, I think, I think two years ago, I think the team
1:46:59
competition was really good. This year it was good.
1:47:02
It was good. They had, you know, four or five
1:47:04
teams I think on both sides, but it wasn't as stacked as it had
1:47:07
been. I also.
1:47:08
Think it was coming down from the Lucy Campbell High and the
1:47:12
teams just wasn't as entertaining because that you
1:47:15
know, that was one of the craziest things that happened
1:47:17
all year. And so we were we were coming
1:47:19
down from that high and then the teams were a little
1:47:22
underwhelming for last last the year previous that had not
1:47:27
happened and it was just as. Entertaining because yeah, the
1:47:29
women's individual field two years ago was not very strong.
1:47:32
Three years ago was even weaker, right?
1:47:35
That's when Paige and Danny were on the podium with somebody
1:47:39
else. So like, yeah, it keeps swinging
1:47:43
back and forth and I, I don't know what they'll do with it,
1:47:47
right? Like a smaller field.
1:47:49
Why? Why do you think they're
1:47:50
pivoting? I mean, go ahead, I don't want.
1:47:56
To I think my guess is seeing that there's a whole bunch of
1:47:58
pairs, they're running out like if you have super open and
1:48:04
there's they have 5 heats. I think it was last year and one
1:48:07
of the, I think it was the women or the men, you don't have time.
1:48:13
And so if you can cycle those field of 20 athletes through one
1:48:17
heat, you know, one men's heat and then whatever or two men's
1:48:22
seats. If if there's in the smaller
1:48:24
field, you have more time for the, the community stuff.
1:48:31
I guess that's probably why. I I mean like, I can't help but
1:48:36
think like last year the the field was weak, much weaker at
1:48:41
the bottom and just chopping that off is is just a better
1:48:44
play 'cause they. Don't have to worry about it,
1:48:47
yeah. Yeah, I mean, the first teats
1:48:50
were rough compared to what, the top of the the top of the field,
1:48:55
right? Also, go ahead.
1:48:59
No. Well, I was.
1:49:00
I was just going to say that somebody tall who should be on
1:49:06
this team if it's. What if do you think if I was on
1:49:10
a team of Colton and Austin that we could be top 10?
1:49:13
No. You don't think they're fit in
1:49:19
areas and I can just lift when I need to lift.
1:49:23
I think back to some of the workouts.
1:49:26
That require the run, row swim. That'd be the only bad one.
1:49:32
What was it 2 years ago where they had the the burpees over
1:49:35
the worm and then one person had to go swim and come back like
1:49:41
you had to you you had to hustle on the.
1:49:43
Alton would swim twice. That's what we would do.
1:49:46
I don't think you can do that. Well, we're we're special.
1:49:51
So yeah, you just make those guys do all the work.
1:49:54
No, I'm doing as much work as I can.
1:49:56
They're just obviously doing more.
1:49:58
Because. Because they would do the
1:49:59
because that was also the trail run.
1:50:02
Yeah, I'd run the trail. I mean, I'm hurting us bad on
1:50:05
these events, but. You're going to have fun doing.
1:50:07
But but I think we can be, I think we can beat top ten in
1:50:12
like a CrossFit workout, you know what I mean?
1:50:13
They just do more work and I would do what I can.
1:50:16
And then a lifting workout. We might win.
1:50:18
We probably will win whatever the lifting thing is.
1:50:21
We got me and Austin Colton's. Colton's our worst lifter.
1:50:25
I think we'll be fine, you know what I'm saying?
1:50:27
I just, I'm curious what that experiment would look like.
1:50:30
I would sell my soul, guys, and I know I'm I'm the anchor, the
1:50:34
biggest anchor anybody's ever seen, but I would sell.
1:50:37
My they can do it. They could do that right?
1:50:40
Because generally in the past the teams it was 2 two games
1:50:44
athletes and 1/3. I'm just saying just awesome as
1:50:48
far as. You don't think that would be
1:50:49
amazing to cover? Just watch me die or work out.
1:50:52
It'd be amazing. Come on, John.
1:50:54
Like, like just be upset that we have 100 burpees left and I
1:50:59
can't do any of them Like like. I want to see it.
1:51:05
I, I, it would be fun. I I think if Austin and Colton
1:51:09
did the individual competition and then did the team
1:51:11
competition, they'd be. Like, yeah, yeah.
1:51:12
Yeah, just for fun. I think that would be awesome
1:51:15
actually. Yeah, I think, I think it'd be
1:51:16
pretty sweet too. All right.
1:51:18
I know. I know.
1:51:19
Colton's watching. Christie's probably watching.
1:51:21
Tell Austin to do that and. We will have to stay tuned for
1:51:27
this. Thomas the JY put Tia back on
1:51:29
the mountain. She's somewhere.
1:51:31
We will see. Oh, I think it will surprise you
1:51:37
what's coming. I can't wait to find out.
1:51:40
I think we have to wait till after.
1:51:42
Last. Chance Last chance qualifier.
1:51:44
To know Oh. Yeah, till the games.
1:51:49
So yeah, that's it. I don't, you know, we'll find
1:51:52
out what they actually do with with that, but it's in March, so
1:51:56
a. Little bit later, Chase, you
1:51:59

1:52:02
Yep, before we before we speak. To Ian.

1:52:22
Let's see community. Times are getting tired.
1:52:27
It's been. I have no idea how this works,
1:52:29

1:52:49
Everybody. Oh, this is not what?
1:52:52
Ben, You can't do that. I think you can do it.
1:52:55
They're all tied. What am I supposed to do, John?
1:52:58
What am I supposed? To no, it says crown #1 the XP
1:53:01
doesn't matter. Yeah, I have no idea, I said.
1:53:05
Whoever was #1 based off of. What does the XP not matter
1:53:08
really? I don't think so.
1:53:10
I've been. It's rounding.
1:53:11
I have no idea. Yeah, Tyler might be right if
1:53:14
everybody's got it. It put him him in first for a
1:53:18
reason. Yeah, I have no idea.
