  What is going on, everybody?
• 0:28
  Welcome to Thursday Night CrossFit Talk.
• 0:31
  Party started.
• 0:33
  I feel like that intro is
• 0:34
  more of a banger.
• 0:35
  Some of your other intros,
• 0:36
  they're sometimes slow.
• 0:38
  Ours is just fire.
• 0:43
  To do this,
• 0:43
  and this is behind the curtain stuff,
• 0:45
  but you have to find
• 0:46
  royalty-free music or you
• 0:48
  have to pay for it every time it goes.
• 0:51
  Sometimes it's hit or miss.
• 0:53
  Sometimes I can dig for a
• 0:55
  half an hour and find nothing.
• 0:58
  Then the next day,
• 0:59
  I get three in a row that
• 1:01
  are just awesome.
• 1:03
  This one, like I've just,
• 1:05
  I've kept it for a long time.
• 1:09
  I just checked out your thumbnail.
• 1:14
  That is hilarious that you
• 1:15
  use that picture.
• 1:16
  Yes, that is me.
• 1:21
  So I'll pull it up just so
• 1:22
  everybody can see it.
• 1:24
  Let me.
• 1:27
  Because there is discussion
• 1:28
  in the chat about it.
• 1:31
  Yeah.
• 1:32
  So this is the thumbnail for
• 1:34
  tonight's show.
• 1:35
  Here we go.
• 1:41
  And so the picture that I
• 1:43
  used to say that quarterfinals are here.
• 1:46
  That was quarterfinals.
• 1:50
  Jamie from last year's quarterfinals.
• 1:55
  That was the thruster workout, right?
• 1:57
  yeah it thrust a row that
• 2:01
  open repeat workout you uh
• 2:04
  she gave everything she had
• 2:05
  on that one and then she
• 2:07
  tried it again and only way
• 2:08
  it went halfway and said
• 2:09
  nope not worth it sometimes
• 2:11
  you gotta make that call if
• 2:13
  you know you're not gonna
• 2:13
  beat it make the call it's
• 2:15
  still worse when you try to
• 2:16
  hold on and then you're
• 2:17
  like you're looking at the
• 2:18
  clock you're like I'm not
• 2:19
  gonna beat it you're just
• 2:20
  holding on for dear life no
• 2:21
  make the call stop it yeah
• 2:26
  so that that was fun I I was
• 2:29
  just going through my
• 2:29
  pictures and I was like no
• 2:31
  that's perfect that just
• 2:32
  it's a great picture for
• 2:33
  for quarterfinals um might
• 2:36
  have to break it out again
• 2:37
  in two weeks yeah or get
• 2:40
  some new ones when I'm up
• 2:42
  there in two weeks let's go
• 2:46
  so uh Kenneth's already on the TV talk
• 2:52
  tv watching has been down I
• 2:53
  actually this week I
• 2:56
  actually watched a lot of
• 2:57
  women's basketball carolyn
• 3:00
  has got me into it and now
• 3:02
  I like it better than men's
• 3:04
  I think the game is more
• 3:05
  exciting and that lsu iowa
• 3:08
  game if you didn't like
• 3:10
  that you're not a sports fan
• 3:13
  They had 12.3 million views on that game.
• 3:16
  It was awesome.
• 3:18
  It's more than any NHL game,
• 3:21
  more than the NBA finals of
• 3:22
  the last few years.
• 3:23
  It did really, really well.
• 3:27
  The only thing that was a
• 3:28
  bummer is that Angel Reese
• 3:29
  went out with the ankle.
• 3:32
  Yeah, she wasn't the same after.
• 3:33
  No.
• 3:35
  Cause she was dominant kind
• 3:37
  of picked her shots when she wanted,
• 3:39
  like no one can stop her.
• 3:41
  The Iowa like center isn't
• 3:43
  as big and tall.
• 3:44
  So like she was having her own there.
• 3:46
  Yeah.
• 3:49
  So, uh,
• 3:51
  Kenneth says that's how he feels
• 3:52
  about CrossFit.
• 3:53
  He looks forward to the
• 3:54
  women's competition more than the men.
• 3:55
  Uh, I don't, I don't doubt that.
• 4:03
  I like them both equally.
• 4:06
  So I watched that,
• 4:10
  and then I watched the
• 4:12
  first Dune again because I
• 4:14
  want to watch the second one.
• 4:15
  I've heard great things about it,
• 4:17
  and I wanted to remember it
• 4:18
  all because my whole family
• 4:21
  fell asleep during the
• 4:22
  first one except for me,
• 4:24
  and so I watched it alone,
• 4:25
  and I think I missed out on some details,
• 4:28
  and I just wanted to watch it again.
• 4:30
  And it was really good the second time.
• 4:33
  I'll have to watch that.
• 4:34
  Uh, we watched three body problem.
• 4:39
  Maybe watched it.
• 4:40
  No, no.
• 4:41
  Oh, it's like, it's pretty,
• 4:44
  I feel like it's kind of big right now.
• 4:46
  Um, I don't know.
• 4:47
  It's like based on books, very sci-fi ish.
• 4:51
  Um, yeah, I don't know.
• 4:53
  I feel like you gotta be
• 4:54
  like super smart to watching.
• 4:56
  I've watched,
• 4:57
  I watched four baseball games.
• 4:59
  I watched the women's tournament games,
• 5:01
  um,
• 5:02
  so I was really sports heavy
• 5:03
  and my pirates started five and Oh,
• 5:06
  which is like for a pirates
• 5:07
  fan that like in 1970s was
• 5:10
  the last time we had a decent team.
• 5:13
  So.
• 5:17
  Yes.
• 5:18
  It's the new Netflix.
• 5:20
  Like,
• 5:20
  I think it came out like maybe two
• 5:21
  weeks ago.
• 5:22
  Um,
• 5:24
  And it's six episodes, I think.
• 5:26
  So it's not like super long.
• 5:28
  Um, but it's,
• 5:29
  I think it's a three book series.
• 5:32
  Um,
• 5:33
  so there's supposed to be more coming
• 5:35
  out.
• 5:36
  Oh, and I did watch Wonka.
• 5:39
  Oh,
• 5:40
  I went home and I watched the new
• 5:43
  Godzilla and Kong movie.
• 5:45
  How was that?
• 5:46
  3d.
• 5:46
  I liked it.
• 5:47
  I liked it a lot.
• 5:50
  Okay.
• 5:52
  Yeah, I went home.
• 5:53
  I got to see my family and
• 5:54
  then watched lots of
• 5:55
  basketball all weekend.
• 5:57
  All the women's game.
• 5:58
  I don't think I watched any
• 5:59
  of the men's game.
• 6:00
  And I'm pumped for the final
• 6:03
  four this weekend.
• 6:05
  Friday.
• 6:07
  Yeah.
• 6:09
  Yeah, the women,
• 6:09
  the women play Friday night, right?
• 6:11
  And then the men play over the weekend.
• 6:16
  Andrew Stem binged the new
• 6:17
  season of Full Swing.
• 6:19
  I've heard that's great.
• 6:20
  I have not watched an episode of it.
• 6:22
  I may have to figure that out.
• 6:25
  Same.
• 6:27
  Heard that's good and heard
• 6:28
  the Formula One version is pretty good.
• 6:36
  Well, that's our TV for the week.
• 6:40
  If you guys weren't with us
• 6:41
  about two hours ago,
• 6:43
  we interviewed Coach Justin Cutler.
• 6:47
  In addition to talking about
• 6:49
  his athletes for this
• 6:50
  season and having a female
• 6:52
  and a male both poised to possibly podium,
• 6:56
  we talked about his
• 6:57
  reactions to the Daniel
• 6:59
  Brandon documentary.
• 7:03
  I think he was very open and
• 7:04
  transparent with us during
• 7:06
  that interview.
• 7:08
  If you have not seen it, it's our show,
• 7:11
  but I highly suggest you pick that up.
• 7:15
  Holly, our stats person,
• 7:18
  has been so awesome to make
• 7:20
  chapters for our shows over
• 7:22
  the last week and a half.
• 7:24
  I had noticed that.
• 7:27
  It's all chaptered up.
• 7:28
  If you only have time to
• 7:29
  jump to the Justin part,
• 7:31
  it's chaptered up and you can do that.
• 7:35
  thank you to holly dugan the
• 7:37
  best stats person in the
• 7:39
  business and such a huge
• 7:41
  help to me in the show so
• 7:49
  yeah ken says I feel like
• 7:52
  there's still so much more
• 7:54
  we don't know about the
• 7:54
  underdog and dbe story and that's okay
• 7:58
  If you listen to the reel I made,
• 8:00
  Justin said he had to be
• 8:02
  delicate about it because
• 8:03
  there are parts of it that
• 8:04
  are just really nobody's business.
• 8:06
  Right.
• 8:08
  Yeah,
• 8:09
  I don't know that the details matter.
• 8:10
  Right.
• 8:14
  I mean, you like,
• 8:15
  you can tell they are both
• 8:16
  very passionate individuals, which is,
• 8:21
  I think that's partly why
• 8:22
  people are drawn to Justin as a coach.
• 8:24
  Cause he's clearly
• 8:24
  passionate and that's a
• 8:26
  draw about Daniela.
• 8:27
  She's so passionate.
• 8:30
  But yeah, they,
• 8:32
  sometimes that can be an
• 8:33
  explosive environment too, right?
• 8:35
  Like who knows?
• 8:35
  It doesn't really matter.
• 8:38
  He clearly still cares about her.
• 8:41
  And you can tell that just
• 8:42
  by like when you still care
• 8:44
  about somebody and you want
• 8:46
  the best for them.
• 8:47
  And that was evident in the
• 8:48
  wanting to grow.
• 8:49
  Like you want to know that
• 8:51
  like she's taken this all
• 8:53
  in and learned from it and she's growing.
• 8:55
  That's ultimately what I get out from him.
• 9:01
  You know,
• 9:01
  I'm biased because Justin is a
• 9:04
  good friend of mine.
• 9:06
  When he came out on this show to say,
• 9:08
  you know,
• 9:09
  these are the parts I played in that.
• 9:11
  This is where I'm to blame.
• 9:13
  That even caught me off
• 9:16
  guard because I was so defensive of him.
• 9:18
  I wasn't even thinking of it
• 9:20
  in the reverse.
• 9:21
  And he said,
• 9:21
  I could have done this better.
• 9:24
  um which um I applaud him
• 9:27
  for I'm sure there is
• 9:29
  growth on both sides of of it you know so
• 9:38
  So that just happened a couple hours ago.
• 9:39
  I got a reel out.
• 9:41
  Go check it out.
• 9:42
  Go check out the documentary.
• 9:44
  Or not the documentary.
• 9:46
  Check that out too.
• 9:46
  Check it all out.
• 9:49
  But the episode is 789, I think.
• 9:53
  And yeah, it's all chaptered up.
• 9:55
  So go check it out.
• 9:57
  Plus,
• 9:57
  it's a good interview about the teams
• 9:59
  because he was in the
• 10:00
  middle of that today.
• 10:01
  And after the DB thing,
• 10:04
  he talked about Ricky and Alex.
• 10:05
  Yeah.
• 10:06
  Um, and all his other athletes.
• 10:09
  Um, and then we actually opened it up to,
• 10:12
  to chat questions for the
• 10:13
  last 10 minutes or so.
• 10:15
  And just, uh, I, I,
• 10:18
  I tried to get it to be rapid fire.
• 10:20
  I don't think you'll ever
• 10:21
  get there with Justin.
• 10:25
  We tried.
• 10:28
  So team quarterfinal
• 10:29
  workouts were released yesterday.
• 10:32
  I'm sure you guys have had
• 10:34
  some time to digest that.
• 10:38
  Kind of the universal
• 10:39
  sentiment seems to be meh or fine.
• 10:47
  What are your impressions?
• 10:49
  Or if you're Taylor, he hates it.
• 10:51
  He thinks they're all
• 10:52
  repetitive and just not creative enough.
• 10:54
  Yeah.
• 10:56
  I kind of went over this on
• 10:57
  the interview with Justin.
• 10:59
  Like,
• 11:00
  I think it's just different for teams.
• 11:02
  Like,
• 11:03
  especially because you aren't
• 11:04
  establishing your team
• 11:07
  I think maybe they could
• 11:08
  revamp how they do things
• 11:09
  and you can only register
• 11:11
  six in the open.
• 11:12
  And then what you test in
• 11:13
  the open is relevant and
• 11:15
  transfers through.
• 11:16
  But as it stands,
• 11:18
  you could have used any one score.
• 11:19
  And I feel like you almost
• 11:20
  have to retest some of
• 11:21
  those things that you just
• 11:22
  tested to make sure the
• 11:24
  four that you're going to
• 11:25
  put on the floor can
• 11:26
  actually put up scores for
• 11:27
  those workouts.
• 11:31
  Yeah.
• 11:32
  My favorite of the workouts
• 11:34
  is the first one, and I'll pull that up.
• 11:38
  And what's disappointing to me,
• 11:39
  and this happens every year,
• 11:43
  is that the workout I want
• 11:48
  to see can't be seen
• 11:53
  because it's a quarterfinal workout.
• 11:54
  Yeah.
• 11:54
  Yeah.
• 11:56
  Like this,
• 11:57
  every time they've done these
• 11:58
  where it's fatigue the body
• 12:00
  and then do max this,
• 12:03
  I think that would be fun to watch.
• 12:05
  Especially for a team that's
• 12:07
  trying to gain popularity,
• 12:10
  it reduces the number of
• 12:11
  people on the competition
• 12:13
  floor for each aspect of the event.
• 12:17
  Because in this, is it one female,
• 12:20
  one male goes?
• 12:21
  Or is it two?
• 12:23
  Yeah,
• 12:23
  it's a male and a female pair together.
• 12:25
  Male-female pair.
• 12:27
  You do the things synchro,
• 12:29
  and then you go to max muscle-ups,
• 12:32
  alternating however you wish.
• 12:35
  I think that the immediacy
• 12:38
  of trying to get as many
• 12:40
  muscle-ups as you can would
• 12:41
  be fun to watch.
• 12:43
  And then they get a little
• 12:44
  bit of rest and then they
• 12:45
  get to do it again.
• 12:46
  So it's this like over and over again,
• 12:48
  how much will they fatigue?
• 12:50
  And we never get to see those.
• 12:51
  They're always in these like
• 12:53
  last chance qualifiers or
• 12:56
  these quarterfinal events
• 12:57
  that unless you go to someone's gym,
• 12:59
  you're not going to see it.
• 13:02
  Yeah, I agree.
• 13:03
  Yeah,
• 13:03
  so this one starts with a nice
• 13:05
  interval two on two off, I guess,
• 13:07
  which they had a similar
• 13:08
  format at the games last
• 13:10
  year when they had that Skierg
• 13:13
  Robe climb, seated legless rope climb.
• 13:15
  And then it was like max
• 13:17
  barbell of something in the
• 13:19
  remaining time.
• 13:19
  And then your partners went
• 13:21
  like one was on the ski.
• 13:22
  One was on the legless.
• 13:24
  They kind of.
• 13:25
  So you've been seeing a lot of that,
• 13:27
  like two minutes on,
• 13:28
  two minutes off in the
• 13:28
  teams the last couple of years.
• 13:29
  So I do like that.
• 13:31
  I think the max muscle ups here,
• 13:33
  you're definitely going to
• 13:34
  get a lot more of the
• 13:36
  normally the male athletes
• 13:37
  are a little bit better at
• 13:38
  hanging on to the rings very long.
• 13:40
  So if you have someone on your team,
• 13:42
  that's just a stud on the rings.
• 13:44
  I mean, let's say you have, I mean,
• 13:47
  10 and 10.
• 13:50
  you're looking at 30 seconds, 45 seconds,
• 13:53
  let's say you have at least
• 13:55
  a minute on the rings,
• 13:57
  if not maybe a minute 10,
• 13:57
  a minute 15 on the rings.
• 14:01
  some people could stay on
• 14:02
  the rings pretty long.
• 14:03
  And then it becomes,
• 14:05
  are they allowed to have
• 14:06
  two sets of rings at two
• 14:07
  different heights?
• 14:08
  Or does it have to be one set?
• 14:09
  Because having to slow those
• 14:11
  down for your partner,
• 14:13
  like that could be a factor
• 14:15
  if you have to have only
• 14:16
  one set of rings.
• 14:16
  If they're allowed two,
• 14:17
  then that timing of like
• 14:19
  jumping on as soon as the
• 14:20
  other one gets off,
• 14:22
  like on a different set of rings could be,
• 14:25
  you know,
• 14:25
  the difference between one or
• 14:26
  two reps each round,
• 14:28
  which is definitely...
• 14:31
  It's going to make a
• 14:32
  difference in the long run.
• 14:34
  I haven't looked at the
• 14:36
  standards if they're
• 14:37
  allowed two sets of rings.
• 14:39
  I think it might be two sets of rings.
• 14:41
  As long as it's easy on the
• 14:43
  camera and they're both in
• 14:44
  the frame nice and easy.
• 14:45
  As soon as that athlete comes down,
• 14:47
  you better be jumping.
• 14:51
  Then you can maybe do
• 14:54
  smaller sets if you need to,
• 14:55
  but I still think you've
• 14:56
  got to have big sets.
• 14:58
  No, no trend.
• 14:59
  You want least amount of transitions here,
• 15:01
  I think, but I don't know.
• 15:03
  What do you think?
• 15:05
  I mean,
• 15:06
  that's going to be one pair of rings.
• 15:11
  Oh, wow.
• 15:12
  Yeah.
• 15:13
  Then you got to stay on longer.
• 15:14
  And then the height becomes an issue,
• 15:17
  right?
• 15:17
  Cause if you have a tall guy
• 15:19
  and those rings are pretty tall,
• 15:20
  that girl that's going to
• 15:22
  have to jump all of a
• 15:23
  sudden needs that male
• 15:24
  athlete to boost her up.
• 15:26
  So
• 15:27
  that first athlete needs to
• 15:29
  stay on for a while so that,
• 15:30
  and then make sure that, you know,
• 15:32
  riser if needed.
• 15:34
  Yeah.
• 15:35
  Yeah.
• 15:35
  But you're putting that in place.
• 15:36
  You're either throwing her
• 15:37
  up there or putting a riser
• 15:38
  in place after he gets out of the way.
• 15:39
  It's there's just transition to this.
• 15:42
  That is going to play a role for sure.
• 15:47
  Yeah.
• 15:48
  Yeah.
• 15:48
  I think as many as you can do.
• 15:50
  Yep.
• 15:50
  Corey says that Chase says
• 15:52
  doing big unbroken sets is the way to go.
• 15:55
  And I think that sounds right.
• 15:57
  Yeah.
• 15:57
  If you only have one set of rings,
• 15:59
  then absolutely.
• 15:59
  Then it has to be big sets
• 16:02
  because you don't want to
• 16:03
  be playing with those rings, jumping up.
• 16:05
  You have no time.
• 16:06
  Yep.
• 16:07
  Big set.
• 16:09
  Man, I think by round three,
• 16:10
  people are going to be
• 16:12
  shocked at how smoked they are.
• 16:17
  You have that front rack
• 16:18
  that gets your shoulders tired.
• 16:21
  Then you're pressing off the floor.
• 16:22
  So your shoulders are tired there.
• 16:25
  So how much can you recover
• 16:26
  in those two minutes after
• 16:27
  doing a large set of muscle ups?
• 16:31
  Like I said,
• 16:31
  those athletes that are good gymnasts,
• 16:33
  it's going to come down to
• 16:34
  the gymnastics here for sure.
• 16:35
  The weight's not heavy
• 16:36
  enough that it's kind of
• 16:39
  everyone's doing those
• 16:40
  front squats relatively at the same time,
• 16:42
  unless they're pausing a lot at the top.
• 16:44
  Burpees are similar pace.
• 16:46
  So this one's a muscle-up workout.
• 16:49
  An interesting note,
• 16:51
  the resting teammates may
• 16:53
  assist the partner in the
• 16:54
  rings or move and set the riser.
• 16:59
  Makes sense.
• 17:00
  Still.
• 17:00
  I think those athletes are
• 17:04
  going to want to rest too.
• 17:06
  And then they need to be
• 17:06
  ready at their bar to start
• 17:08
  their burpees at the minute too.
• 17:10
  I don't think that they can
• 17:11
  focus that much on helping out too,
• 17:13
  too much.
• 17:15
  Yeah.
• 17:16
  Yeah, this one would be cool to watch,
• 17:18
  though.
• 17:18
  You're right, Scott.
• 17:20
  Yeah.
• 17:24
  And then we go to event two, test two.
• 17:29
  50-30-20 reps for time of
• 17:33
  alternating dumbbell snatches,
• 17:36
  all team synchro.
• 17:38
  Wow, what a judging nightmare that is.
• 17:40
  Toes-to-bar pair synchro.
• 17:44
  Yep, grippy.
• 17:47
  Very grippy.
• 17:48
  But four synchro,
• 17:49
  that's just a judging nightmare.
• 17:51
  It is a judging nightmare.
• 17:54
  Two judges, I'm assuming,
• 17:55
  because they're going simultaneously.
• 17:59
  Yeah,
• 18:00
  but the two judges then have to be in
• 18:02
  really good eye contact.
• 18:08
  It's probably just synchro at the top,
• 18:09
  right?
• 18:10
  Yeah, yep.
• 18:13
  Yeah, for the demo snatchers,
• 18:14
  it's just synchro at the top,
• 18:15
  but the toaster bars,
• 18:16
  you have one judge for one
• 18:18
  pair and then one judge for
• 18:19
  the other pair.
• 18:20
  That makes sense.
• 18:20
  That's fine.
• 18:21
  Yeah.
• 18:22
  It's when they're all four going.
• 18:23
  Do you have to accumulate
• 18:26
  the amount of reps together
• 18:29
  or it has to be split
• 18:30
  evenly for the toaster bars?
• 18:34
  I'm going back to the thingy notes.
• 18:39
  I'm getting there.
• 18:41
  I would be prepared for all
• 18:42
  your questions.
• 18:45
  I'm looking at the flow of the workout.
• 18:48
  So 30 pairs,
• 18:51
  so 30 to 50 toaster bars synchronized.
• 18:55
  In two pairs,
• 18:56
  each pair completes 50
• 18:57
  synchro toaster bar.
• 19:00
  So each pair completes 50.
• 19:02
  Yeah.
• 19:02
  So you're basically done on
• 19:05
  your weakest pair.
• 19:05
  Yeah.
• 19:08
  You have to wait before you
• 19:09
  get back to the snatch
• 19:10
  until that last pair has
• 19:13
  done their toaster bar.
• 19:15
  If you have one group that's
• 19:16
  much better at their toaster bars,
• 19:19
  they don't need to go that
• 19:20
  fast because they're going
• 19:21
  to be waiting anyways for
• 19:22
  the limiting factor.
• 19:25
  All four accumulate the
• 19:28
  dumbbells at the same time.
• 19:30
  Then the pairs each.
• 19:33
  Each doing 50.
• 19:35
  Are they up on the bar at the same time?
• 19:37
  Yes.
• 19:39
  So all four on the bar,
• 19:40
  just somebody needs to watch two judges.
• 19:43
  Yeah, you have one judge, another judge.
• 19:45
  Once they're both done there,
• 19:46
  then they kind of meet back
• 19:47
  up and do their snatches,
• 19:48
  which I kind of like that format.
• 19:49
  It's kind of cool.
• 19:49
  You see that in contest.
• 19:50
  You don't see it online very often.
• 19:52
  I like it.
• 19:54
  I do like it.
• 19:55
  I know a lot of people... It
• 19:56
  does suck that you're at your...
• 19:58
  Low lowest man's capability.
• 20:00
  But I honestly, I think,
• 20:02
  feel like that's the case sometimes.
• 20:04
  And we can't always hide
• 20:05
  your weakest link.
• 20:06
  Like we need to see who that is,
• 20:08
  where that is.
• 20:10
  And.
• 20:11
  Yeah.
• 20:12
  You know, this was a note in there.
• 20:16
  You don't need to keep the
• 20:17
  same pairs for every set.
• 20:22
  Okay.
• 20:23
  I think you have to keep
• 20:24
  them the same for 50.
• 20:25
  When you go to 30, you can switch.
• 20:30
  Would you put your two
• 20:34
  weakest ones together that
• 20:35
  they can go on a slower pace?
• 20:38
  Or do you put a strong... Does it matter?
• 20:41
  You're basically just off
• 20:42
  your weakest athlete there.
• 20:44
  They might not be your weakest,
• 20:45
  but in that movement.
• 20:48
  I don't know.
• 20:51
  I'd probably put... I would
• 20:54
  maybe do a strong...
• 20:56
  your strongest with your
• 20:57
  weakest in this one and
• 20:59
  then and then maybe swap
• 21:02
  pairs later it's not yeah
• 21:07
  it's not gonna matter
• 21:08
  that's the lowest person
• 21:08
  matter just on the if that
• 21:10
  person wants to be
• 21:11
  encouraged by someone or
• 21:12
  kind of depends on the
• 21:14
  personality maybe that
• 21:15
  you're with and the timing
• 21:17
  of the toilet I guess who
• 21:19
  you that's better that you
• 21:20
  don't get any no reps
• 21:21
  Right.
• 21:22
  Um,
• 21:22
  and usually you're better if you're
• 21:24
  really good at total bar,
• 21:25
  you can hold or like it,
• 21:27
  like make sure that it's synchro.
• 21:29
  Yeah.
• 21:29
  So you would go,
• 21:30
  so then you would go with
• 21:31
  your top one that they can
• 21:33
  adjust to your timing and
• 21:34
  you're making sure every
• 21:36
  rep that that person's doing,
• 21:37
  you're making it count.
• 21:39
  Yeah.
• 21:43
  I like this one personally, but, uh,
• 21:46
  test three.
• 21:50
  Female pairs.
• 21:53
  For time, pair one, followed by pair two.
• 21:56
  500 meter row, 50 handstand pushups.
• 22:01
  One station switch is needed,
• 22:02
  50 synchro wall ball shots.
• 22:05
  Then pair one, followed by pair two.
• 22:09
  Back through.
• 22:10
  Yep.
• 22:10
  The one comment Justin made
• 22:12
  on our show is that kipping
• 22:15
  handstand pushups are too
• 22:16
  easy at this level.
• 22:18
  That's what I'm surprised
• 22:19
  with this one is we haven't
• 22:21
  seen kipping handstand
• 22:22
  pushups in a very long time.
• 22:23
  I feel like it's been
• 22:25
  basically strict wall facing now.
• 22:28
  If there's deficit, you might,
• 22:30
  then I think you'll see kipping a lot,
• 22:32
  whether it's a parallel or
• 22:33
  like on a plate,
• 22:34
  you'll see the kipping there,
• 22:36
  but to a flat floor, 50,
• 22:39
  a lot of athletes at that level,
• 22:41
  especially the top athletes
• 22:42
  are able to kip 50.
• 22:44
  Some of them can do strict, almost 50.
• 22:46
  I can't do it.
• 22:47
  Like,
• 22:49
  Yep.
• 22:50
  Strict would have been better.
• 22:53
  Yeah, that was price.
• 22:56
  And his big concern about
• 22:57
  this is what's going to happen at semis.
• 23:01
  Like how big of a jumper are
• 23:02
  you going to make?
• 23:02
  Because you can't go from
• 23:03
  kipping to then at semis,
• 23:06
  make it deficit strict or
• 23:10
  something even more difficult.
• 23:13
  They can do what they want, Scott.
• 23:14
  They'll do what they want.
• 23:15
  They can do what they want.
• 23:17
  They can.
• 23:18
  You've seen them do it before.
• 23:22
  They'll just throw whatever.
• 23:23
  And yes,
• 23:26
  there will be people standing
• 23:29
  around unable to do the
• 23:30
  movement at semis.
• 23:31
  It happens every year,
• 23:33
  especially in certain regions.
• 23:35
  But even in East and West,
• 23:37
  there are teams that make
• 23:38
  it to semifinals that
• 23:39
  cannot do semifinals.
• 23:43
  I mean,
• 23:43
  there was teams at semis last year
• 23:44
  that couldn't do the
• 23:46
  wall-facing handstand push-ups.
• 23:47
  They just couldn't do it.
• 23:48
  One of their teammates would get there,
• 23:50
  and everyone had to do it,
• 23:51
  and so they would just be stuck there.
• 23:54
  So Kenneth asks, why can't you?
• 23:56
  Corey kind of asks the same thing,
• 23:58
  and that's the key.
• 24:00
  Then you're putting the
• 24:00
  wrong people through,
• 24:01
  and then when you up the
• 24:03
  game at semis to something
• 24:05
  way more skillful,
• 24:08
  then there's a lot of people
• 24:09
  who can't do it.
• 24:10
  And you have just people standing around.
• 24:13
  And then you wonder why
• 24:13
  nobody goes to semis to
• 24:15
  watch the teams because you get a lot of.
• 24:20
  Well, when you say,
• 24:21
  doesn't it just make it a
• 24:22
  race capacity thing?
• 24:24
  Well, it makes it a race,
• 24:25
  not a capacity thing.
• 24:26
  It would need to be like,
• 24:29
  another two more rounds of
• 24:30
  this to even get approach
• 24:32
  the capacity thing.
• 24:33
  Um,
• 24:34
  it is a race and it's going to be by
• 24:35
  seconds and that's,
• 24:37
  that's just kind of silly.
• 24:39
  There needs to be a little
• 24:39
  bit of separation.
• 24:44
  The synchro wall balls.
• 24:47
  I mean, if there's,
• 24:48
  if there's teams breaking that,
• 24:50
  I guess then maybe there.
• 24:54
  Even, yeah, I don't know.
• 24:55
  That's going to be too sad.
• 24:55
  Even if you go 30, 20 or 35, 15,
• 24:59
  like it's a drop in a go.
• 25:01
  Like, I don't know.
• 25:05
  You'll still see some stuff.
• 25:08
  I just think like, it's not,
• 25:10
  we see it every year where
• 25:12
  people get through to semis
• 25:14
  that have no business being there.
• 25:16
  Yep.
• 25:18
  And that's what we should be
• 25:19
  trying to eliminate.
• 25:21
  And we're really getting a
• 25:22
  conflict of interest now
• 25:25
  because we're being
• 25:25
  inclusive with quarters for the 25%.
• 25:31
  But yet it's not going to help.
• 25:33
  That's not going to help
• 25:35
  make sure we get the right
• 25:37
  people to semis.
• 25:39
  So a couple years ago,
• 25:40
  we had the ball to the
• 25:41
  10-foot target for the females, right?
• 25:44
  And now we're back at the
• 25:45
  9-foot target now.
• 25:47
  So that's also another point there.
• 25:49
  Yeah, that really surprises me.
• 25:52
  Because I thought like open, okay, nine,
• 25:56
  sure.
• 25:57
  And then I thought in my head,
• 25:59
  people that are going to
• 26:00
  the quarterfinals,
• 26:01
  females train to the 10.
• 26:04
  The only time I'll go to the
• 26:05
  nine is the odd time I'll do 20.
• 26:07
  I'll alternate between doing
• 26:08
  20 pounds to nine and doing
• 26:09
  20 pounds to 10 sometimes too.
• 26:13
  But for the most part, I think...
• 26:18
  I mean, we are shorter.
• 26:21
  Yeah.
• 26:24
  It's okay.
• 26:25
  But this one's easier to
• 26:26
  judge the video than the previous one.
• 26:30
  Like the previous one,
• 26:30
  if you're video reviewing
• 26:32
  that on the toaster bars,
• 26:33
  you got to watch a whole
• 26:35
  set of these two pairs.
• 26:38
  Then you got to rewind it
• 26:39
  again and watch the same set.
• 26:40
  But now you got to look at the other two.
• 26:44
  Right?
• 26:45
  Yeah.
• 26:46
  Yeah.
• 26:47
  Like that's gotta be hard on
• 26:48
  the judges are just time consuming.
• 26:51
  That last one or the second
• 26:54
  one that we just went over.
• 26:55
  Yep.
• 26:57
  Then we finish up with again, female,
• 27:00
  female, male, male pairs,
• 27:02
  as many reps as possible in
• 27:03
  15 minutes of 30 deadlifts.
• 27:06
  Then the males coming into 30 deadlifts,
• 27:09
  then 30 shouldered overhead,
• 27:11
  then 30 shouldered overhead.
• 27:13
  And you keep going, um,
• 27:17
  You just keep going for 15 minutes.
• 27:20
  I love it.
• 27:22
  This is their strength one a little bit.
• 27:29
  I mean,
• 27:29
  15 minutes is a long time to do this.
• 27:31
  I think there's going to be
• 27:33
  some separation.
• 27:33
  What's the weight on the
• 27:35
  shoulder to overhead?
• 27:36
  Is it 125?
• 27:36
  Oh, there you go.
• 27:37
  125.
• 27:37
  I was just looking at the first column.
• 27:43
  That number is interesting
• 27:45
  too because to me,
• 27:45
  185 goes with 135,
• 27:49
  especially for lower body
• 27:52
  movements like front squats.
• 27:53
  I think that 135 is good.
• 27:57
  Deadlift,
• 27:58
  I still think 205 is too light
• 28:00
  compared to the 315.
• 28:00
  I think 215 to 225 is
• 28:04
  actually closer to what
• 28:05
  guys feel on the 315.
• 28:07
  And then at shoulder to overhead,
• 28:10
  I think that's where guys
• 28:12
  are a little bit stronger.
• 28:13
  That's where I see often the 125 with 185.
• 28:16
  And maybe they just want to
• 28:17
  keep that consistency.
• 28:19
  But for many years, it was 185, 135.
• 28:21
  For at least like squat cleans,
• 28:27
  front squats, things that were, I guess,
• 28:30
  more lower body.
• 28:32
  Yeah.
• 28:32
  The world's greatest
• 28:33
  deadlifter is going to say
• 28:34
  that the deadlift weight is light.
• 28:36
  Yeah.
• 28:38
  That's the same weight they
• 28:39
  would do cleans, right?
• 28:40
  So like at 19.5,
• 28:45
  two and 16.2 I think the
• 28:51
  toaster bar double under
• 28:53
  clean one 19 yeah 19.2 I
• 28:57
  think um there's such a big
• 28:59
  difference between the guys
• 29:00
  having to do 315 and the
• 29:01
  girls doing 205. i think at
• 29:05
  two fit let's go 215.
• 29:06
  215 315 I think is an ease is better
• 29:12
  The chat seemed to agree.
• 29:13
  The woman's white seems light,
• 29:16
  not for the shouldered overhead,
• 29:17
  but for the deadlift.
• 29:19
  For the deadlift, yeah.
• 29:23
  So those are the workouts.
• 29:26
  Then I have Holly's spreadsheet.
• 29:28
  Let me... You're showing
• 29:30
  everyone our notes now.
• 29:32
  I have her Instagram,
• 29:32
  which is much abbreviated to present.
• 29:37
  So... Scott,
• 29:38
  everyone's reading all our secret notes.
• 29:41
  Yeah.
• 29:44
  I used to just take the
• 29:45
  notes and make them the
• 29:46
  notes for the show on
• 29:49
  YouTube so people can just see.
• 29:50
  Yeah.
• 29:54
  So here's Holly's Instagram.
• 29:56
  Make sure you follow her at DataWad on IG.
• 30:01
  So here's the top 10 games teams.
• 30:09
  So this is from
• 30:12
  This is from last year to this year.
• 30:15
  And look at the difference.
• 30:22
  Like,
• 30:24
  there's a whole bunch that don't even
• 30:26
  have teams.
• 30:30
  Yeah, but like some of those,
• 30:32
  I would say just... I mean, Mayhem...
• 30:37
  mayhem just changed I just
• 30:38
  they just don't have an
• 30:39
  independence anymore right
• 30:40
  like right it's just so I
• 30:43
  almost feel like you could
• 30:44
  have just started that and
• 30:46
  put the other team in there
• 30:48
  as that one but like oba is
• 30:50
  no longer there there's no
• 30:52
  oslo team there are 109
• 30:55
  people qualifying or
• 30:57
  something like that to the quarters
• 30:58
  They just didn't name it like that.
• 31:01
  But sometimes when you get a
• 31:02
  podium win and you don't
• 31:04
  feel like you have a
• 31:05
  competitive team to really have that name,
• 31:08
  sometimes you just switch the team name.
• 31:12
  It's like mayhem freedom.
• 31:15
  I don't think that Rich is
• 31:16
  going to put that name
• 31:17
  unless there's going to be
• 31:18
  a competitive team that
• 31:19
  could actually compete under that name.
• 31:23
  I think that there's pride
• 31:25
  in that particular name and
• 31:27
  there's history there.
• 31:30
  Yeah, I think he said it's retired.
• 31:32
  Yeah,
• 31:33
  that was that was going to be the
• 31:34
  ones that he was on.
• 31:37
  Right.
• 31:40
  So she did a lot of stuff.
• 31:42
  Here's the movements for a year over year.
• 31:46
  Try to blow it up a little.
• 31:52
  Just to see if there's been any.
• 32:00
  So I think the one thing
• 32:03
  that I think has happened
• 32:05
  is in previous years, you look,
• 32:07
  you have Olympic lifts,
• 32:09
  you have GHD sit-ups,
• 32:11
  you have rope climbs,
• 32:15
  you have handstand walks.
• 32:19
  None of those are there now.
• 32:21
  Nope.
• 32:23
  There's no snatch, right?
• 32:25
  There's a dumbbell snatch,
• 32:25
  but there's no barbell snatch.
• 32:27
  There's no Olympic lift.
• 32:28
  And then there's no clean and jerk.
• 32:31
  That means that semis,
• 32:33
  there's got to be just one of them,
• 32:35
  at least.
• 32:35
  Well, there's both, but one of them.
• 32:38
  We've had GHDs.
• 32:41
  I'm glad to not see that, though.
• 32:42
  GHDs and rope climbs.
• 32:47
  I'm bummed.
• 32:48
  I love both of those.
• 32:51
  They're okay.
• 32:51
  They're not bad for me, but I just think
• 32:55
  I think there's an advantage
• 32:56
  in different types of ropes
• 32:57
  at different gyms.
• 32:57
  Like our ropes sometimes are
• 33:00
  so slippery or we have one good one.
• 33:02
  And because we had one good one,
• 33:04
  it got used so much that
• 33:07
  it's literally on a thread.
• 33:10
  Yeah.
• 33:12
  And that means like,
• 33:13
  I'd have to use a very, very slippery.
• 33:15
  And it's just like, that's a factor.
• 33:17
  Yeah.
• 33:18
  It's like most of the other
• 33:20
  pieces of equipment.
• 33:21
  I feel like it's, it's even playing game,
• 33:22
  but the rope climbs.
• 33:23
  Yeah.
• 33:24
  And like, I like reaching, like, it's a,
• 33:27
  it's a 20 foot that I can
• 33:28
  just reach to a tape.
• 33:29
  Like ours is like higher up
• 33:31
  and there's a big knot.
• 33:32
  It's just, there's, I don't know.
• 33:34
  I don't like that.
• 33:36
  I don't want that to be able
• 33:37
  to play a factor.
• 33:39
  So Holly says,
• 33:39
  I haven't gone through yet
• 33:41
  and look at all the
• 33:42
  individual athletes from the teams.
• 33:44
  Holly, you can't.
• 33:47
  Yeah, don't do that.
• 33:48
  Nobody is even declaring
• 33:49
  until probably this weekend.
• 33:53
  And they only have to declare six.
• 33:55
  And it doesn't even have to
• 33:56
  be the same as Sunday.
• 34:01
  I think if you go in right now,
• 34:02
  you can see who's on the team.
• 34:05
  If you go into the
• 34:06
  quarterfinals leaderboard right now,
• 34:08
  even though there are no scores in,
• 34:10
  it's blind,
• 34:11
  I think you can see the six
• 34:13
  names associated with that team.
• 34:15
  And that'll be the same for semis.
• 34:18
  And I mean,
• 34:19
  they're not going to be able to
• 34:19
  change two extra alternates
• 34:22
  out for semis.
• 34:23
  They can't do that.
• 34:23
  Like you have six now and that's it.
• 34:28
  So she could go in now and
• 34:29
  look at the leaderboard of
• 34:30
  the teams that have signed
• 34:31
  up for quarterfinals and narrow it down.
• 34:34
  Yeah.
• 34:35
  But Holly puts out great stuff.
• 34:37
  Um, she collaborates with me on most,
• 34:40
  so you can either check it
• 34:41
  out at data wad on
• 34:42
  Instagram or Clydesdale
• 34:44
  media and check all that stuff out.
• 34:46
  She's been working very hard
• 34:47
  these last couple of weeks.
• 34:51
  So now I gotta go back to my notes,
• 34:55
  my top secret notes.
• 34:58
  So I have a question.
• 34:59
  This was,
• 34:59
  this was brought up by James
• 35:03
  Hobart in death by,
• 35:06
  and it just struck me that
• 35:10
  he hates synchro and he's just,
• 35:12
  he's over it and he wants it.
• 35:15
  He thinks the teams would be
• 35:18
  much more fun to watch without synchro.
• 35:22
  So I'm asking, I want to ask you to,
• 35:25
  what do you think?
• 35:26
  Do you think that it's
• 35:28
  necessary to test synchro
• 35:30
  if you're on a team or do
• 35:33
  we need to get over that
• 35:34
  and make it more visually stimulating?
• 35:39
  I would say I personally
• 35:41
  like to see synchro movements.
• 35:42
  Like I think that is visually stimulating.
• 35:45
  So,
• 35:47
  and like the one thing that like the
• 35:49
  whole team has to
• 35:49
  synchronize all the time is the worm.
• 35:51
  Right.
• 35:52
  And yeah,
• 35:53
  in an online format,
• 35:54
  like you have to have some
• 35:56
  sort of teamwork synchronization,
• 35:59
  because I think that that's
• 36:01
  going to transfer more over to, you know,
• 36:04
  teamwork and preparing for
• 36:05
  a warm than if you're have
• 36:07
  four individual athletes.
• 36:08
  Like I like,
• 36:09
  I don't know if I like three
• 36:10
  workouts with synchro out of the four.
• 36:13
  I think that might be a little much,
• 36:15
  but I mean,
• 36:15
  it's not like every movement
• 36:17
  of every workout is synchro.
• 36:19
  So
• 36:21
  I don't know.
• 36:22
  I'm okay with it.
• 36:26
  Yeah.
• 36:28
  Yeah, I don't know.
• 36:30
  I think you got to have the
• 36:31
  synchro in there.
• 36:31
  I definitely think you have
• 36:33
  to have it in there.
• 36:36
  Here's my argument.
• 36:38
  I'm sitting in the Coliseum.
• 36:40
  Teams come out on the floor.
• 36:42
  We're at one-tenth capacity
• 36:44
  at that point because
• 36:48
  people don't want to watch it.
• 36:53
  And when you get multiple
• 36:54
  people in small areas,
• 36:56
  it gets really hard to
• 36:58
  decipher even who's on what team.
• 37:01
  You know, add in the noble lack of color.
• 37:06
  Like,
• 37:06
  you can't even tell who's on what team,
• 37:08
  and it's just one big
• 37:09
  cluster on the floor.
• 37:12
  Do we need to rethink what
• 37:14
  the team competition is to
• 37:16
  make it more fan-friendly?
• 37:18
  Teams of two.
• 37:21
  Hmm.
• 37:22
  Teams of three.
• 37:24
  Three girls, three guys.
• 37:26
  Or teams of two.
• 37:28
  What do you want to see?
• 37:29
  Do you want to see one
• 37:31
  person go do... Do you want
• 37:32
  a waterfall star,
• 37:34
  someone go to a whole workout,
• 37:37
  and then someone else come
• 37:37
  out on the floor and do a
• 37:38
  whole workout and keep
• 37:39
  doing that until the whole
• 37:39
  team's finished?
• 37:42
  For me, teams is about the affiliates.
• 37:46
  I've never been a great fan
• 37:48
  of the super teams.
• 37:49
  I don't care if you get...
• 37:51
  the four best athletes from
• 37:52
  around the world.
• 37:53
  If they can't,
• 37:54
  that's what I liked about Rich's team.
• 37:56
  They clearly train together
• 37:57
  and they move so well together.
• 37:59
  That was visually pleasing to me.
• 38:02
  I like that they can synchro.
• 38:04
  I don't want super teams.
• 38:05
  I want people that work
• 38:06
  together day in and day out
• 38:07
  and move well together.
• 38:09
  That's cool to me,
• 38:10
  but I might be in the minority.
• 38:12
  No, I like the synchro.
• 38:14
  I mean,
• 38:14
  I think it's easier to see two
• 38:16
  people working at once and
• 38:17
  see the synchronization
• 38:18
  than a cluster F of people
• 38:20
  just running back and forth, tagging this,
• 38:23
  that, and you're like, oh my God,
• 38:25
  which lane am I looking at?
• 38:26
  Everyone's moving everywhere.
• 38:28
  Like I actually think synchro,
• 38:30
  you're working and you can actually,
• 38:31
  there's more people working
• 38:33
  at the same thing.
• 38:34
  So it's actually easier to
• 38:35
  see than a bunch of people
• 38:37
  at different places are waiting.
• 38:39
  but like, it's like,
• 38:40
  I still think a mixture of everything.
• 38:42
  Like you can have one waterfall,
• 38:43
  you can have one sink, girl,
• 38:44
  you can have one that's
• 38:46
  here's a chipper and split
• 38:47
  it up how you want.
• 38:48
  Now there's like some
• 38:49
  strategy that you can work
• 38:50
  on your strengths and weaknesses.
• 38:51
  Like I think a little bit of
• 38:53
  each style of team workouts is,
• 38:56
  is nice interval style or, you know,
• 39:02
  you go, I go type thing.
• 39:04
  So I think maybe the,
• 39:08
  maybe we're keeping it too
• 39:09
  much inside the box.
• 39:12
  What I'm thinking is you're a team, right?
• 39:14
  You need to accomplish a
• 39:15
  goal together as a team.
• 39:18
  It doesn't need to be
• 39:21
  Synchro like you have this
• 39:23
  barbell and you have to get
• 39:24
  it down the floor and you
• 39:25
  have to do so much of this.
• 39:26
  Move it forward.
• 39:28
  Move it forward.
• 39:29
  So much of this as a team figured out,
• 39:32
  like you've got to get this thing done.
• 39:36
  This amount of work done.
• 39:38
  Like we don't see any stuff
• 39:40
  like I hearken back to the Bob, right?
• 39:44
  Remember when they had to
• 39:44
  move the Bob do so many
• 39:46
  pull-ups on the Bob do so
• 39:48
  much of this and
• 39:50
  Then you had to slide the
• 39:51
  bob to the next station,
• 39:53
  get this amount of work done.
• 39:56
  The best event was last year
• 39:57
  with the bob and that rope and pulling,
• 40:00
  and then you go on your run.
• 40:01
  You were carrying the sandbags to the bob.
• 40:05
  But do you remember the big bob?
• 40:09
  That was teamwork.
• 40:10
  That was fun.
• 40:11
  But they had the big bob
• 40:12
  where they had pull-up bars,
• 40:13
  and you could do a lot of stuff on it.
• 40:18
  but you can't do that in the
• 40:20
  quarterfinals.
• 40:21
  Right.
• 40:22
  I'm just, I'm saying like,
• 40:23
  I still think that like,
• 40:26
  eventually I think they're
• 40:27
  going to move to a three or
• 40:29
  a two player team.
• 40:31
  I think maybe eventually.
• 40:32
  Yeah.
• 40:34
  I just,
• 40:35
  I think it's just easier on the eyes.
• 40:39
  The worm is boring as hell to watch.
• 40:42
  I'm done.
• 40:43
  Like I am over the worm.
• 40:45
  Even the earthworm.
• 40:47
  Now that is not that I would watch.
• 40:53
  I would watch that in a heartbeat.
• 40:56
  But the conventional worm,
• 40:58
  I've seen it too many times.
• 41:01
  It's a crutch for the team competition.
• 41:04
  And it takes up so much
• 41:05
  space you can't see from
• 41:07
  lane to lane to lane.
• 41:13
  My opinion.
• 41:16
  There it is.
• 41:19
  Andrew doesn't like mine.
• 41:20
  Andrew thinks that smaller
• 41:21
  teams would be even less exciting.
• 41:23
  I don't know.
• 41:24
  I think you've, you put two,
• 41:26
  two strong guys together, two,
• 41:27
  two good girls together.
• 41:29
  And it's just like a, or like three,
• 41:31
  like teams of three, like water Palooza.
• 41:32
  Like those are exciting.
• 41:35
  I think they're good for.
• 41:37
  Special events.
• 41:38
  Exhibition.
• 41:39
  Yeah.
• 41:40
  Like that's cool.
• 41:41
  Like,
• 41:42
  I just don't think that needs to be a
• 41:43
  games.
• 41:44
  You guys are defending it,
• 41:46
  but nobody's watching it.
• 41:48
  I watch the teams.
• 41:49
  I don't know what you're talking about.
• 41:50
  I like the three other people.
• 41:53
  I also watched the Masters.
• 41:54
  I was in the Masters last
• 41:55
  year because I got to test them.
• 41:56
  So I was like,
• 41:57
  how are they going to do on this workout?
• 41:59
  But normally I was in there watching.
• 42:02
  I watched because of Rich.
• 42:04
  But there's only so many of
• 42:05
  us nerds around.
• 42:10
  We got to find more fellow nerds.
• 42:14
  We ain't finding more nerds.
• 42:16
  We've got to evolve and
• 42:17
  bring in more people.
• 42:20
  So speaking of which I'm
• 42:21
  going to move on to my next subject,
• 42:24
  unless you guys have
• 42:25
  anything else to say about
• 42:26
  teams last week,
• 42:29
  I think it was on Savan fee
• 42:32
  was asked to do a fee
• 42:33
  versus whatever for
• 42:35
  quarterfinals on that show.
• 42:37
  She agreed.
• 42:38
  I've not seen anything
• 42:39
  followed up with that or anything.
• 42:41
  So I don't know if they got
• 42:43
  it in writing or whatever.
• 42:46
  But we said last week we
• 42:48
  needed more female
• 42:49
  representation in these things.
• 42:52
  And that happened the next day.
• 42:54
  Yeah.
• 42:55
  So I was happy for that.
• 42:57
  Yeah.
• 43:01
  It is obvious that there is
• 43:03
  a community starving for
• 43:06
  this kind of content
• 43:08
  earlier in the season and
• 43:11
  that it can be done without
• 43:13
  full on production.
• 43:17
  Right?
• 43:18
  So, is this the future to grow the sport?
• 43:25
  Because this is how people
• 43:26
  are going to know new
• 43:28
  people's names or people
• 43:29
  who haven't gotten exposure
• 43:31
  get to know those athletes.
• 43:35
  Can this be replicated and
• 43:39
  done throughout not only
• 43:40
  the elite division,
• 43:42
  but the age groups as well?
• 43:44
  And even adaptive.
• 43:45
  Adaptive.
• 43:50
  I don't like,
• 43:51
  and I'm not naive enough to
• 43:53
  think they're going to
• 43:53
  bring in the numbers of the elite,
• 43:56
  but I mean, I think,
• 44:00
  I think if the right people
• 44:02
  consistently promoted these
• 44:05
  additional things, maybe, but
• 44:10
  If CrossFit doesn't promote it, I don't,
• 44:12
  I think it's just within
• 44:13
  the community of people that watch, like,
• 44:16
  let's say it's seven people
• 44:18
  that are just watching or
• 44:20
  barbell spin people that are like,
• 44:22
  but you need for it to
• 44:24
  actually be bigger.
• 44:25
  You need CrossFit to come
• 44:27
  behind it and like, be like, watch,
• 44:31
  you know,
• 44:31
  fee versus the best at crash or
• 44:35
  whatever it's going to be.
• 44:37
  and then show some clips and
• 44:38
  then draw some attention to it.
• 44:40
  But if CrossFit doesn't buy fully into it,
• 44:45
  I just think it's just
• 44:47
  within the super fans of
• 44:49
  each media outlet.
• 44:52
  Yeah.
• 44:54
  It's the same people that are watching it.
• 44:56
  It's the people that are already fans.
• 44:58
  It's not growing in new fans,
• 45:01
  I don't think.
• 45:03
  If it's like a road to the
• 45:04
  games type thing and you're
• 45:06
  following that athlete, like if Taylor,
• 45:07
  like when Taylor, if that, if Taylor does,
• 45:10
  you know,
• 45:10
  the quarterfinals and then
• 45:11
  you're kind of following his whole season,
• 45:13
  you're getting a glimpse of him.
• 45:15
  Just like what it changes is
• 45:20
  for those outside the community.
• 45:21
  If you want them to see one
• 45:23
  15 minute con contest and,
• 45:28
  It's going to be a lot
• 45:29
  easier to grab their
• 45:30
  attention for 15 minutes than four days.
• 45:34
  Agreed.
• 45:40
  I mean,
• 45:41
  I think it is a way to introduce
• 45:43
  new athletes.
• 45:47
  Whether it's Savan or...
• 45:50
  barbell spin or whatever one
• 45:52
  you want to say is like the biggest one.
• 45:54
  If they're going to do one,
• 45:55
  they probably should bring
• 45:57
  in other names occasionally
• 45:59
  to try to introduce new people that,
• 46:01
  I mean,
• 46:02
  I think that's how it's going to grow.
• 46:03
  Like whatever becomes the hub of this is,
• 46:09
  I mean,
• 46:09
  like I've tried to like we're
• 46:11
  trying to offer that I'm
• 46:12
  trying to give you the
• 46:12
  versus series every week.
• 46:14
  But we have a much smaller
• 46:16
  following unless Savan
• 46:18
  talks about my versus
• 46:19
  series or shows it or gets
• 46:21
  some like it's not going to
• 46:22
  get the thousands of views that he does.
• 46:25
  We're trying to offer you guys.
• 46:27
  You would need CrossFit to be like, hey,
• 46:29
  this is a cool thing because now,
• 46:32
  you know,
• 46:32
  it gets posted on the CrossFit
• 46:33
  games around the CrossFit.
• 46:35
  pages and that draws even
• 46:38
  like way more even than you
• 46:40
  know someone like Sevan or
• 46:42
  Be Friendly or Get With The
• 46:43
  Program all those there's
• 46:45
  so many yeah it would be
• 46:48
  cool if CrossFit would like
• 46:50
  at the end of the day you
• 46:51
  need like it's CrossFit
• 46:52
  that could really push it
• 46:54
  even more yeah and I think
• 46:56
  that what we're with what
• 46:57
  we're doing with the three
• 46:58
  ages age groups in there is
• 47:01
  more up there alley of showing like
• 47:03
  Absolutely.
• 47:04
  Varying levels.
• 47:05
  It'd be cool if they would
• 47:06
  just share the real or anything.
• 47:08
  Yeah, it's just your workout, everything.
• 47:11
  Yeah.
• 47:14
  So I think, again,
• 47:17
  I think smaller snacks are
• 47:19
  going to be better at
• 47:20
  drawing in new people.
• 47:22
  than a big, long competition.
• 47:24
  But I brought up something
• 47:25
  right after this show started,
• 47:27
  like a year ago,
• 47:29
  when we first started doing this, Jamie,
• 47:31
  about championship belts
• 47:33
  for specific movements.
• 47:36
  Crossfitters would never get it.
• 47:38
  So hold on.
• 47:39
  Crossfitters would never win it.
• 47:42
  Hold on.
• 47:43
  This coming week,
• 47:45
  we're going to have Jake
• 47:46
  Berman versus Colton
• 47:47
  Mertens for the fastest 100 burpees.
• 47:51
  Is that not exactly what I
• 47:52
  pitched a year ago?
• 47:54
  You did.
• 47:55
  You did do the burpees.
• 47:56
  I can't remember if we did
• 47:58
  our facing burpees specifically,
• 48:01
  but you pick a movement or
• 48:03
  you pick a hero workout or
• 48:05
  you pick something that you
• 48:07
  become the champion of.
• 48:08
  You win a belt that says
• 48:11
  you're the greatest and
• 48:13
  And you keep that belt until
• 48:15
  some challenger comes and beats you.
• 48:17
  Yeah.
• 48:20
  And the thing about a burpee
• 48:22
  is it's not exclusive to CrossFit.
• 48:26
  So if you have like the burpee champion,
• 48:29
  a hundred burpees for time,
• 48:32
  and someone wants to take
• 48:33
  them on and they're not from CrossFit,
• 48:34
  that only is an opportunity
• 48:36
  to gain more people.
• 48:38
  That's true.
• 48:43
  Right?
• 48:44
  Yeah.
• 48:46
  And you could do that with pull-ups.
• 48:47
  You could do it with muscle-ups.
• 48:48
  You could do it with... Yeah,
• 48:50
  just most of the movements
• 48:52
  would not be pure CrossFitters.
• 48:53
  They'd be specialists in Olympic lifting.
• 48:55
  They'd be a gymnast.
• 48:56
  They would be a rowing person.
• 49:00
  Most of them were more
• 49:03
  generalists than specialists.
• 49:05
  And even if we do have a
• 49:06
  specialty in CrossFit, I'm sure...
• 49:12
  If there was someone outside of CrossFit,
• 49:14
  that would be better at
• 49:15
  that particular thing if
• 49:17
  they knew about it type thing.
• 49:20
  Yeah, but aren't we trying to grow?
• 49:22
  Yeah, for sure.
• 49:24
  Right?
• 49:25
  And we want to expand outside the walls.
• 49:31
  Yeah.
• 49:33
  I'm excited to see the burpee one.
• 49:34
  And the burpee one's what,
• 49:35
  five minutes tops?
• 49:37
  Oh, they're going to be faster than that.
• 49:39
  Oh, I mean,
• 49:40
  but you have a whole show in
• 49:42
  less than five minutes.
• 49:44
  Like,
• 49:44
  it's going to be like Kentucky Derby
• 49:46
  or like those events in
• 49:48
  sports where people get all
• 49:50
  pumped and ready and
• 49:52
  there's a pregame and then
• 49:53
  the actual thing is only a
• 49:56
  few minutes long.
• 49:58
  Yep.
• 50:02
  I just...
• 50:06
  I'm not trying to get rid of
• 50:07
  the methodology.
• 50:07
  I'm not trying to get rid of
• 50:09
  what CrossFit training is
• 50:10
  around the world,
• 50:11
  but you have to get eyes on people.
• 50:15
  Right.
• 50:15
  And we're not growing right now.
• 50:19
  So you got, you got to grow somehow.
• 50:25
  I agree.
• 50:30
  So they're not gimmicks, Andrew.
• 50:36
  There's going to be
• 50:37
  standards for a hundred.
• 50:38
  There's you name a standard
• 50:39
  for it and you can make it
• 50:41
  the CrossFit standard.
• 50:46
  And Colton, if Colton beats Jake,
• 50:50
  he gets the belt and he gets to,
• 50:52
  he gets to tout that he is
• 50:54
  the fastest per P person in all the land.
• 51:01
  It's not a gimmick.
• 51:03
  It's not, it is not.
• 51:10
  If you were to die on that
• 51:12
  hill with the six people
• 51:14
  that are watching the
• 51:15
  CrossFit Games in six years,
• 51:20
  would you be more behind a
• 51:24
  Fran championship of the world,
• 51:26
  Diane championship of the world?
• 51:28
  Would you be more behind that,
• 51:31
  some of the benchmarks?
• 51:33
  I'm okay with any of it.
• 51:35
  Anything that gets eyes on the sport.
• 51:39
  And it's short enough that
• 51:40
  it doesn't take away from
• 51:42
  someone's training.
• 51:47
  I love that he is bringing Tim Murray in.
• 51:49
  Like,
• 51:50
  I like that it's giving the adaptive
• 51:52
  some exposure platform.
• 51:53
  Yeah.
• 51:54
  I like, I like the fact that like,
• 51:56
  we're good to see an adaptive athlete,
• 51:59
  you know, do the same.
• 52:00
  And it gives us a
• 52:00
  perspective of the fittest, um,
• 52:03
  in that division last year, him and, um,
• 52:06
  are they tied?
• 52:07
  But, um,
• 52:09
  but you get to see what type
• 52:11
  of scores they have,
• 52:12
  if it's compatible in this
• 52:14
  particular movement.
• 52:16
  That's exciting.
• 52:18
  I think that he should have
• 52:20
  went over just a barbell on the ground.
• 52:22
  No weights,
• 52:23
  just the barbell laying on the ground.
• 52:26
  Or somehow measure it.
• 52:29
  What distance is it from, I don't know,
• 52:30
  maybe too complicated, from the knee?
• 52:34
  What is it for
• 52:35
  Colton, whatever,
• 52:35
  and just kind of adjusted
• 52:36
  for him to the same type of distance.
• 52:41
  So Kevin Ogar was brought in to say,
• 52:44
  what is the scale?
• 52:45
  And he said, just a straight burpee.
• 52:48
  But Tim Murray is still
• 52:49
  going to do over a bar.
• 52:51
  I think it should be over a bar,
• 52:52
  but I think it should be
• 52:52
  over an empty barbell.
• 52:55
  So he's still going back and forth.
• 52:58
  He just isn't.
• 53:00
  That hop is going to take it out of him,
• 53:02
  I think.
• 53:03
  Yeah, out of the legs.
• 53:05
  yeah that's that's high for
• 53:06
  him like that's what I'm
• 53:07
  saying like is there a way
• 53:08
  to maybe put five or ten
• 53:12
  pound metal plates where
• 53:14
  it's just a little bit
• 53:15
  lower but not quite to the
• 53:16
  ground type thing like
• 53:18
  maybe halfway like some of
• 53:19
  the people did I think it
• 53:21
  was opex people a few years
• 53:23
  ago in 16.1 when you had
• 53:25
  the overhead lunges and
• 53:26
  burpees and you had a group
• 53:27
  of people that had that did
• 53:30
  the bar facing burpees over
• 53:31
  they had all the change plates
• 53:34
  Oh, nice.
• 53:34
  And then that became a rule of, no,
• 53:36
  this diameter actually
• 53:37
  needs to be for barfishing.
• 53:40
  I might be throwing old pets under the bus,
• 53:42
  but I think it was someone
• 53:44
  from that gym or something.
• 53:47
  Yeah, I remember it happening.
• 53:48
  I don't know who, but yeah,
• 53:50
  I remember the picture sitting IG.
• 53:54
  So something like that could
• 53:55
  be an adjustment.
• 53:57
  Yeah.
• 53:58
  So you both are good burpee people.
• 54:00
  Could you take someone on one-on-one and,
• 54:02
  and when,
• 54:03
  who do you think would be your
• 54:04
  toughest competition in a hundred?
• 54:11
  I mean, there's,
• 54:12
  I feel like there's people
• 54:13
  that trying to think some
• 54:16
  of the fastest girls, Emma,
• 54:19
  Carrie would be hard to beat.
• 54:20
  I think she's just someone that just like,
• 54:23
  she's at that.
• 54:24
  I'm a Carrie.
• 54:25
  I think, uh,
• 54:26
  McQuaid's really good.
• 54:27
  Fee would be really good.
• 54:29
  Holta, Cara.
• 54:34
  Jamie Green or Simmons.
• 54:38
  I mean, these are your open type athletes.
• 54:43
  I'm naming the people that
• 54:44
  are the best in the open right now.
• 54:45
  Like people that are just
• 54:46
  good at burpees and suffering and yeah.
• 54:50
  Yeah.
• 54:53
  There's a lot of people.
• 54:54
  Yeah, I don't think I could beat.
• 54:55
  And probably there's a bunch
• 54:56
  that I'm not even thinking
• 54:57
  of and they'd be beating
• 54:58
  all of them if it was just a burpee.
• 55:00
  Because normally they're
• 55:01
  limited by something else in the workout.
• 55:03
  Yeah.
• 55:04
  Probably that mirror jam would win.
• 55:06
  Yeah.
• 55:10
  I'm excited to see what she does.
• 55:11
  Do you want us to do it and
• 55:12
  see what we get?
• 55:12
  Is that what you're asking, Scott?
• 55:17
  I don't know.
• 55:18
  We could do our own.
• 55:18
  Scott's mad right now
• 55:19
  because Andrew tore down his idea.
• 55:22
  He can tell.
• 55:23
  He did not take down my idea.
• 55:24
  My idea has been out there
• 55:26
  for a year and now people are doing it.
• 55:28
  Yeah.
• 55:28
  So it's only made me stronger.
• 55:30
  We got to get the belt though.
• 55:33
  Yeah.
• 55:34
  Like the, I mean, the Fuselier belt.
• 55:37
  Yep.
• 55:37
  That's cool.
• 55:39
  Yeah.
• 55:41
  If you won like the deadlift,
• 55:43
  like 50 deadlifts for time
• 55:44
  and you won that belt,
• 55:46
  once you hang it up and be
• 55:48
  really proud of it.
• 55:49
  I don't know if I'd hang it up,
• 55:52
  but I'd be proud of it.
• 55:55
  Yeah.
• 55:55
  It would be cool.
• 55:56
  Yeah.
• 55:57
  For sure.
• 55:58
  And the reason I bring this
• 55:59
  up is there are people
• 56:00
  making attempts at this, right?
• 56:01
  The reps ahead, all that kind of stuff.
• 56:04
  Yeah.
• 56:04
  The reps ahead is a really
• 56:05
  good concept too.
• 56:08
  Did you watch reps ahead yet last week,
• 56:10
  Scott?
• 56:11
  I have not.
• 56:13
  Every time I hadn't started.
• 56:14
  And then I got, I got into other things.
• 56:20
  Easter weekend was just busy.
• 56:22
  Yeah.
• 56:22
  With family.
• 56:23
  So.
• 56:25
  I watched, I watched the rough side.
• 56:26
  It was, it was good.
• 56:27
  That one just depended on
• 56:29
  what type of workout you're
• 56:30
  going to program.
• 56:30
  Cause, and yeah,
• 56:31
  you just don't know because
• 56:33
  sometimes you can just hit
• 56:34
  a wall and all of a sudden
• 56:35
  that person just takes a lead.
• 56:36
  Like you just don't know.
• 56:38
  It's hard to predict how the
• 56:39
  programming will turn out and.
• 56:41
  I mean, that's sports really.
• 56:45
  But I like the concept of it
• 56:46
  where it's like,
• 56:47
  you're trying to beat the
• 56:48
  person versus the workout.
• 56:50
  And it's like,
• 56:51
  maybe just start really fast
• 56:53
  and see if the person kind of reacts.
• 56:54
  And then you get put in a
• 56:55
  red zone really fast and all of a sudden,
• 56:58
  Oh no, you know, you got to come back,
• 57:00
  but then maybe it's too late.
• 57:02
  And I like that.
• 57:03
  There's some strategy involved.
• 57:05
  You can pace off someone or
• 57:06
  you can just kind of,
• 57:08
  Wait for your turn.
• 57:09
  I don't know if you guys saw
• 57:10
  Tim Paulson's idea.
• 57:11
  I have not.
• 57:12
  But it was like Echo Bike to
• 57:14
  get reps ahead.
• 57:16
  And then you put it on a
• 57:18
  monitor so you can see
• 57:21
  where each person is.
• 57:22
  And Tim goes,
• 57:23
  it would come down to who was
• 57:25
  willing to die in the sprint.
• 57:27
  Okay.
• 57:28
  Why am I not surprised that
• 57:30
  this was his idea?
• 57:31
  But isn't it a cool concept?
• 57:36
  And it may not be something
• 57:37
  you want to participate in,
• 57:39
  but there are people like
• 57:41
  Hopper and Tim and Roman
• 57:44
  who would jump at that
• 57:46
  chance and to watch it
• 57:48
  where you had to get like 10 cows ahead.
• 57:51
  And like there's gamesmanship.
• 57:53
  You know what that reminds
• 57:54
  me of is the foam rolling
• 57:56
  game where two people on
• 57:57
  the assault bike and then
• 57:59
  you're kind of waiting
• 58:00
  until you go and the other
• 58:01
  person matches and then you're just like,
• 58:04
  okay, you win.
• 58:05
  And then the foam roll.
• 58:06
  Do you know which game I'm talking about?
• 58:08
  Yep, we do that.
• 58:08
  We've done that at the gym.
• 58:10
  That's what that reminds me of.
• 58:11
  It's just like, can you match it?
• 58:14
  You kind of react to that person's effort.
• 58:18
  That one's tough.
• 58:18
  And then all of a sudden you're just like,
• 58:19
  no, I give up.
• 58:20
  Like, go take the lead.
• 58:23
  Yes.
• 58:25
  So that's enough about that.
• 58:27
  We'll keep bringing that up
• 58:28
  because I do think, one,
• 58:31
  I want to do something like that.
• 58:32
  And I told Wad Zombie last week, like,
• 58:35
  if you need somebody to
• 58:36
  jump in and help him with Fit Wars,
• 58:37
  I'm willing to bring that
• 58:39
  back and try to get that going.
• 58:40
  Yeah, I love that one.
• 58:42
  Colton and what's his name?
• 58:44
  Yeah.
• 58:46
  See,
• 58:46
  that was cool because you pick a
• 58:48
  workout that both of them
• 58:50
  are good at and you just.
• 58:54
  Yeah, I like that.
• 58:55
  The neutral party to program it and.
• 58:58
  Away you go.
• 59:00
  Yeah.
• 59:00
  Anything to get athletes exposure.
• 59:02
  Yeah.
• 59:03
  I'm all in for.
• 59:08
  So on the next bit of news,
• 59:11
  Be Friendly Fitness
• 59:14
  published an article today
• 59:15
  about the serious
• 59:18
  contenders in the North
• 59:21
  America East semifinal.
• 59:24
  And my two co-hosts were
• 59:26
  both named in that article.
• 59:29
  And Lex was on the podcast today.
• 59:32
  You watch it.
• 59:33
  She was the analyst on there too.
• 59:35
  She hasn't done a podcast in
• 59:37
  so long and she was on there.
• 59:39
  I made an appearance at the
• 59:40
  end for like the last 20 minutes.
• 59:43
  That's awesome.
• 59:44
  She was the one breaking
• 59:45
  down like a lot of the
• 59:47
  athletes for the females.
• 59:50
  So you'll have to watch it.
• 59:51
  She crushed it.
• 59:55
  Crushed it.
• 59:57
  And she gave two or three
• 59:59
  shout outs to Clydesdale too, by the way.
• 1:00:02
  And to you, Jamie.
• 1:00:04
  Aww.
• 1:00:04
  So you'll have to watch it.
• 1:00:06
  I'll watch it right after we get off.
• 1:00:08
  So first,
• 1:00:10
  where Carolyn appears is other
• 1:00:14
  serious contenders.
• 1:00:16
  He named, I think, like 10 athletes.
• 1:00:18
  And then you jump into the
• 1:00:20
  next group with Annika Greer,
• 1:00:22
  Jordan Sweck.
• 1:00:24
  That's not how you pronounce it.
• 1:00:25
  Jeffs.
• 1:00:27
  Doesn't even look like that at all.
• 1:00:28
  Uh, Brooke Wells and in Carolyn,
• 1:00:30
  Ashley was me, Lydia fish, Bailey rail,
• 1:00:34
  Freya Mooseberger, Brittany Weiss,
• 1:00:36
  and Haley Adams.
• 1:00:38
  All games experience that
• 1:00:40
  have been either team very,
• 1:00:42
  very close or bubble type games.
• 1:00:45
  I would say in that group
• 1:00:47
  that you just company there,
• 1:00:49
  it's good company.
• 1:00:50
  And so, yeah.
• 1:00:51
  Um,
• 1:00:53
  You're in good company.
• 1:00:54
  And then under the category
• 1:00:56
  of Masters Contingency, Jamie is named.
• 1:01:02
  And actually,
• 1:01:03
  I think one of the things he
• 1:01:04
  points out is with the age
• 1:01:06
  group workouts being the
• 1:01:07
  same as individual this year,
• 1:01:09
  there's a real possibility
• 1:01:10
  that a couple of these
• 1:01:11
  incredibly impressive
• 1:01:12
  athletes could be in
• 1:01:13
  contention for a coveted top 40 spot.
• 1:01:16
  If they do claim one,
• 1:01:18
  it will be interesting to
• 1:01:19
  see if they decide to
• 1:01:19
  compete at the live semi or
• 1:01:21
  forego it and focus
• 1:01:23
  exclusively to try to make
• 1:01:25
  the online semifinal for age group.
• 1:01:28
  But he mentions that a
• 1:01:32
  couple people were in
• 1:01:34
  qualifying positions.
• 1:01:36
  You, Amy Morton, and Brittany Bolella.
• 1:01:40
  Bolella?
• 1:01:43
  And Tammy Gaiorcos.
• 1:01:46
  would all be going to the
• 1:01:48
  North America East
• 1:01:49
  semifinal if the Open was the determiner.
• 1:01:52
  Yeah.
• 1:01:53
  You all finished in the top 40.
• 1:01:54
  Yeah.
• 1:01:56
  Jamie, when would your semifinals be?
• 1:01:59
  It's May 8th.
• 1:02:00
  See, the timing works, though,
• 1:02:02
  because the East, we're week three.
• 1:02:06
  Right.
• 1:02:06
  We're the last week.
• 1:02:07
  We're the first weekend of
• 1:02:08
  June or last weekend of May
• 1:02:09
  or something like that.
• 1:02:11
  So that would actually be a good timing.
• 1:02:12
  If you qualify, you're going, right?
• 1:02:15
  Oh yeah.
• 1:02:16
  I would still go.
• 1:02:16
  Yeah.
• 1:02:17
  Yeah, for sure.
• 1:02:18
  You can say it's,
• 1:02:19
  it's been a dream of yours
• 1:02:20
  to be at semis.
• 1:02:22
  Well, yeah.
• 1:02:22
  Yeah.
• 1:02:23
  I mean,
• 1:02:24
  I don't get those in-person
• 1:02:26
  opportunities.
• 1:02:27
  I'd like, I'd have to take it.
• 1:02:28
  A hundred percent.
• 1:02:31
  And it would be a check off the list.
• 1:02:36
  That's going to be, no offense,
• 1:02:37
  probably a better
• 1:02:39
  experience than what you may get.
• 1:02:41
  We don't know, right,
• 1:02:42
  for the Masters games.
• 1:02:44
  I totally agree.
• 1:02:44
  There's so many unknowns.
• 1:02:46
  And, like, that's probably, you know.
• 1:02:49
  Yeah.
• 1:02:50
  Why would you turn that down?
• 1:02:51
  If I'm a Master, which I am next year.
• 1:02:53
  I'm talking about, like,
• 1:02:54
  if I'm a young gun right now.
• 1:02:56
  Me next year,
• 1:02:57
  if I were to qualify for semis, you know,
• 1:02:59
  like, I'm in both.
• 1:03:00
  Like, I would be doing both, right?
• 1:03:02
  Mm-hmm.
• 1:03:06
  I think Amy's got a serious shot.
• 1:03:09
  Amy's great.
• 1:03:10
  She's so good.
• 1:03:11
  She's always done well online too.
• 1:03:13
  And Lex talks about her too
• 1:03:15
  in the podcast.
• 1:03:17
  Like you have to be good at
• 1:03:19
  online to qualify for the
• 1:03:21
  top 40 because some people
• 1:03:24
  are like only good in
• 1:03:25
  person or only a good online.
• 1:03:26
  Like Amy's good at both.
• 1:03:27
  Like I've seen her do some good stuff.
• 1:03:32
  Yeah.
• 1:03:38
  Um,
• 1:03:39
  so then first I'm proud of both of you.
• 1:03:42
  That's awesome.
• 1:03:43
  I can't wait till North America East.
• 1:03:45
  Um, I think I,
• 1:03:46
  whether we get sponsors or not,
• 1:03:48
  my wife wants to go to Knoxville.
• 1:03:51
  So I think we're going to at
• 1:03:52
  least that semi-final for sure.
• 1:03:56
  And I did put in for my credential.
• 1:03:58
  Where is it?
• 1:03:58
  It's in Knoxville, Tennessee.
• 1:04:02
  Is that close to Nashville airport?
• 1:04:08
  Couple hours.
• 1:04:10
  Is there an airport in Knoxville?
• 1:04:11
  Knoxville has an airport.
• 1:04:13
  So that's where I have to, if I qualify.
• 1:04:18
  So,
• 1:04:21
  so then we have the spin 25 poll was
• 1:04:26
  released today.
• 1:04:29
  And I'll share my screen.
• 1:04:31
  None of my picks like made it.
• 1:04:34
  I don't know what happened.
• 1:04:34
  It's not in that order.
• 1:04:36
  Yeah.
• 1:04:38
  And I need,
• 1:04:39
  this just came out this afternoon.
• 1:04:43
  So I did not look at it super close.
• 1:04:46
  But I will try to blow this up.
• 1:04:48
  I have not seen it.
• 1:04:49
  Ricky in first.
• 1:04:51
  What?
• 1:04:51
  So Ricky at one.
• 1:04:53
  Adler at two.
• 1:04:54
  Krennikoff at three.
• 1:04:55
  Felner four.
• 1:04:56
  Pepper five.
• 1:04:59
  Then Fikowski.
• 1:05:03
  Shukowski, Medeiros, Crouch, Jukic,
• 1:05:06
  and Koski.
• 1:05:09
  What comp has Ricky done in
• 1:05:11
  the offseason besides Rogue?
• 1:05:14
  He did Wadapalooza?
• 1:05:16
  Did he win Wadapalooza?
• 1:05:18
  He did.
• 1:05:18
  I mean, he's been in first since, I think,
• 1:05:24
  since Wadapalooza.
• 1:05:24
  He's been in first on the poll.
• 1:05:26
  So he hasn't moved.
• 1:05:28
  So I took a screenshot of my picks.
• 1:05:31
  So I'd have them.
• 1:05:33
  So I actually had Adler first.
• 1:05:37
  Adler first.
• 1:05:38
  I actually had Dallin Pepper second.
• 1:05:41
  Vellner third.
• 1:05:43
  Ricky fourth.
• 1:05:44
  Jay Crouch fifth.
• 1:05:46
  I like that pick.
• 1:05:49
  Saxon sixth.
• 1:05:51
  Roman seventh.
• 1:05:52
  Madero eighth.
• 1:05:57
  Koski ninth.
• 1:05:58
  Hosta tenth.
• 1:06:00
  But I'm a little worried
• 1:06:01
  about Host just getting two semis.
• 1:06:04
  I know.
• 1:06:04
  If he can get there, I think we're okay.
• 1:06:10
  Yeah,
• 1:06:11
  I only took a screenshot of my girls
• 1:06:13
  because I didn't have as
• 1:06:15
  much movement from the guys.
• 1:06:17
  But, yeah,
• 1:06:18
  I think mine lined up a little
• 1:06:20
  bit more with yours.
• 1:06:20
  I know I had Crouch higher.
• 1:06:21
  Yeah, I can't believe Saxon 14th.
• 1:06:27
  He just got hurt last year.
• 1:06:28
  Like, why –
• 1:06:31
  He's been perennial top 10.
• 1:06:34
  He was the top finisher for
• 1:06:35
  North America East in the open, right?
• 1:06:37
  Yeah.
• 1:06:39
  And he only moved up one spot.
• 1:06:46
  Go back up.
• 1:06:47
  I haven't seen this.
• 1:06:48
  I want to see Travis Mayer.
• 1:06:49
  Sam Cornelius.
• 1:06:51
  Bill Leahy.
• 1:07:01
  How did he do in the open?
• 1:07:02
  36?
• 1:07:02
  Is that what that middle number is?
• 1:07:08
  No,
• 1:07:09
  that's his total points of people voting.
• 1:07:12
  They don't show the open placement.
• 1:07:14
  It just shows how they
• 1:07:16
  finished in the games.
• 1:07:18
  Which he has a dash.
• 1:07:21
  And then others receiving votes.
• 1:07:23
  Hatfield, Self, Hoffer.
• 1:07:26
  Here comes the influence of
• 1:07:28
  all of the social, all the media stuff,
• 1:07:31
  like the Hiller effect for Bill Leahy,
• 1:07:34
  the Taylor versus the world with this,
• 1:07:36
  you know, I mean,
• 1:07:39
  there's been a lot of hype, right?
• 1:07:40
  I mean, on all of these athletes,
• 1:07:42
  they've been popping up a
• 1:07:43
  lot on my newsfeed.
• 1:07:46
  Taylor, I'm curious about, he's so fit.
• 1:07:50
  If his knee is healthy,
• 1:07:52
  like for squatting,
• 1:07:56
  I know.
• 1:07:57
  He keeps saying he's not
• 1:07:57
  going to go to semis.
• 1:07:58
  I'm like, he might do good.
• 1:08:02
  I'm really impressed by him.
• 1:08:06
  So then on the women's side,
• 1:08:07
  there was a switch at the top.
• 1:08:10
  Tia drops to second.
• 1:08:11
  Laura goes to first.
• 1:08:13
  Emma Lawson in third.
• 1:08:15
  Alex Kazan, Ariel Loewen, Gabby Magawa,
• 1:08:18
  Raptus, Brandon, David's daughter,
• 1:08:21
  Powers.
• 1:08:23
  Haley Adams to 11th.
• 1:08:25
  Emily Rolfe 12th.
• 1:08:27
  And then you can read the rest.
• 1:08:32
  I can't believe people has
• 1:08:33
  to have Brooke Wells at 16.
• 1:08:38
  I took Brooke out of my top 25.
• 1:08:40
  I took a lot of newer ones
• 1:08:48
  entered this time around for the girls.
• 1:08:51
  Yeah, Spiegel, McQuaid, Greer,
• 1:08:54
  and Anganese.
• 1:08:56
  Mano Anganese has done
• 1:08:59
  nothing but show she's capable.
• 1:09:01
  She's great.
• 1:09:03
  When I competed at Rogue two years ago,
• 1:09:05
  I was extremely impressed by her.
• 1:09:07
  Very impressed.
• 1:09:09
  I actually took Amanda
• 1:09:10
  Barnhart out of my top 25 as well.
• 1:09:14
  I like seeing Paige up there like that.
• 1:09:17
  I feel like she's a
• 1:09:19
  consistent athlete that...
• 1:09:22
  a lot of people always
• 1:09:23
  forget about and she keeps
• 1:09:25
  getting better though.
• 1:09:27
  I like seeing that.
• 1:09:31
  Yeah.
• 1:09:32
  The top is so tight.
• 1:09:34
  If Tia is really compromised,
• 1:09:39
  when you get past Laura and Tia, the Emma,
• 1:09:43
  Alex, Ariel, Gabby, Alex,
• 1:09:46
  I think is super tight.
• 1:09:48
  I don't.
• 1:09:50
  Emma Lawson is not in that group to me.
• 1:09:54
  Emma Lawson is in that group
• 1:09:55
  with Laura and Tia.
• 1:09:57
  I'm being modest because I
• 1:09:58
  have Emma winning.
• 1:09:59
  I do too.
• 1:10:01
  I think that she's in that group.
• 1:10:03
  And I think the next little
• 1:10:04
  tier is what you named, you know,
• 1:10:06
  but I think Lawson has,
• 1:10:11
  she's up there with those two.
• 1:10:13
  So I actually pulled Tia to
• 1:10:14
  fifth on my poll.
• 1:10:17
  uh I only moved her to third
• 1:10:19
  I just pulled her down if
• 1:10:20
  her wrist is hurt I agree
• 1:10:23
  she probably needs to come
• 1:10:24
  like she needs to come way
• 1:10:25
  down if I mean I don't know
• 1:10:27
  she'll either make it and
• 1:10:29
  probably be pretty good by
• 1:10:31
  the games and still finish
• 1:10:33
  here or she won't make it
• 1:10:36
  so I mean that I think
• 1:10:37
  those are your two options
• 1:10:40
  she'll do what she needs to to qualify
• 1:10:44
  so actually I wanted to put
• 1:10:46
  ariel back on the podium so
• 1:10:49
  I went emma lawson laura
• 1:10:51
  horvat ariel lowen alex
• 1:10:53
  kazan tia gabby alex page I
• 1:11:00
  think page is about to make
• 1:11:02
  a jump into that second
• 1:11:03
  tier it's hard that second
• 1:11:07
  tier is good like
• 1:11:10
  Yeah.
• 1:11:12
  I still have her down in like 13th.
• 1:11:15
  Paige is good.
• 1:11:16
  She was impressive last year
• 1:11:17
  at semis and had a great games.
• 1:11:20
  So great semis.
• 1:11:22
  I mean, I wouldn't be surprised.
• 1:11:23
  I'm just saying that second
• 1:11:24
  tier after that, to me,
• 1:11:26
  the top three is consistent.
• 1:11:30
  They're good.
• 1:11:30
  Like if, if Raptors is healthy,
• 1:11:33
  like she was so impressive
• 1:11:35
  last year at the games.
• 1:11:36
  Had the leader's jersey for
• 1:11:38
  multiple events.
• 1:11:39
  She really only struggled
• 1:11:40
  with the sandbag.
• 1:11:41
  Two events,
• 1:11:41
  the log over and then the squat
• 1:11:43
  cleans with it.
• 1:11:44
  Or the squat cleans the
• 1:11:47
  squats with the sandbag.
• 1:11:50
  Other than that, she was really good.
• 1:11:56
  Really,
• 1:11:57
  my thing with Paige is she just
• 1:11:59
  turned 21.
• 1:12:01
  It seems like she's been around forever.
• 1:12:03
  I know.
• 1:12:05
  True.
• 1:12:05
  True.
• 1:12:06
  But it like, like,
• 1:12:09
  and she's young enough that
• 1:12:10
  she can make the bigger leaps.
• 1:12:12
  Like she still has a,
• 1:12:13
  like a pretty good upward trajectory.
• 1:12:16
  Would you put Danielle in
• 1:12:17
  that second tier too?
• 1:12:20
  Uh, I don't know.
• 1:12:23
  She's right there.
• 1:12:23
  Like she's my next person
• 1:12:25
  out of that tier.
• 1:12:28
  I have a right behind, um, page.
• 1:12:33
  catching at the games is so good though.
• 1:12:36
  So good.
• 1:12:37
  She's a, just doesn't matter.
• 1:12:39
  She's,
• 1:12:41
  she even looked incredible at semis
• 1:12:43
  last year.
• 1:12:44
  Oh yeah.
• 1:12:44
  She looked like a different athlete to me.
• 1:12:46
  She finished second at semifinals.
• 1:12:47
  Um, but I'm just saying like,
• 1:12:49
  she was a beast at the games.
• 1:12:51
  Like there's just, she's a great runner.
• 1:12:53
  She's, you know,
• 1:12:55
  great at most things really.
• 1:12:56
  Um,
• 1:12:59
  if she can make it out of
• 1:13:02
  you know she's not in
• 1:13:03
  europe she's in the west uh
• 1:13:05
  but like if she makes it to
• 1:13:06
  the games every year like
• 1:13:07
  she's gonna like she's
• 1:13:09
  always within the top ten
• 1:13:11
  here's my thing with
• 1:13:12
  danielle like we don't even
• 1:13:15
  know what's going on like
• 1:13:18
  like her documentary they
• 1:13:20
  didn't even say the word
• 1:13:21
  brute right she's not in
• 1:13:23
  jacksonville with the brute
• 1:13:24
  team anymore she's in
• 1:13:26
  nashville but she's not with proven
• 1:13:30
  Like, what's going on?
• 1:13:31
  And is she getting coaching?
• 1:13:33
  Is she?
• 1:13:34
  Yeah,
• 1:13:35
  I think Coach L or something like that.
• 1:13:38
  Yeah,
• 1:13:38
  I think she's coaching a few athletes
• 1:13:40
  at that in that area.
• 1:13:44
  Maybe that's good for her.
• 1:13:47
  Maybe.
• 1:13:48
  Just do her thing.
• 1:13:52
  It's weird.
• 1:13:52
  I thought,
• 1:13:53
  I thought her and Dallin played
• 1:13:55
  well together.
• 1:13:56
  So it's a little weird to
• 1:13:58
  move away from that.
• 1:13:59
  I would not give up a
• 1:14:00
  training partner like
• 1:14:01
  Dallin if I had that opportunity.
• 1:14:03
  Well, if the rumor mills are correct,
• 1:14:05
  maybe she left for another reason.
• 1:14:11
  I guess I haven't heard,
• 1:14:12
  heard these rumors.
• 1:14:15
  I don't know them.
• 1:14:17
  So, all right.
• 1:14:20
  So that is the spin top 25.
• 1:14:23
  Looks like we're doing a monthly now,
• 1:14:26
  which is cool.
• 1:14:27
  Cause there's a lot going on.
• 1:14:29
  We'll have quarterfinals
• 1:14:30
  between this one and the next one.
• 1:14:33
  So we can make some changes then.
• 1:14:39
  And John Young brought back the mountain.
• 1:14:44
  But before we talk about that,
• 1:14:47
  If you did not see the spin last night,
• 1:14:51
  I have a recap for you.
• 1:14:53
  So I'm going to go ahead and
• 1:14:54
  play that just so you can
• 1:14:56
  catch up on the spin from
• 1:14:58
  Wednesday night.
• 1:14:59
  Listen,
• 1:14:59
  I think Mertens has potential to
• 1:15:04
  be... I don't think I would predict it.
• 1:15:09
  What did you say?
• 1:15:11
  It's over your internet, bro.
• 1:15:12
  You're cutting out again.
• 1:15:12
  Dude, I'm fine.
• 1:15:15
  I'm fine.
• 1:15:18
  You're probably making great points,
• 1:15:19
  but we can't hear any of them.
• 1:15:21
  Oh, are you serious?
• 1:15:24
  This is what I remember from it.
• 1:15:25
  I had a hard time listening
• 1:15:27
  to it yesterday.
• 1:15:28
  So that was the spin from last night.
• 1:15:34
  If you missed it,
• 1:15:35
  that's a complete wrap up
• 1:15:38
  from last night.
• 1:15:40
  So John Young and his
• 1:15:43
  dial-up internet show.
• 1:15:46
  So I'll show the mountain if
• 1:15:48
  I can find it.
• 1:15:50
  I didn't have this prepared
• 1:15:53
  for some reason.
• 1:15:55
  Here it is.
• 1:15:58
  So here's base camp.
• 1:16:01
  I'll show that first.
• 1:16:09
  Sure I will.
• 1:16:10
  Here we go.
• 1:16:12
  All right,
• 1:16:13
  so this is what he has for base camp now.
• 1:16:16
  Again,
• 1:16:16
  this is from the spin from last night.
• 1:16:19
  At the top tier, he has Sprague, Luckett,
• 1:16:22
  Mayer, Cornwallier, and Farlow.
• 1:16:26
  And then underneath that, Walton, Hatfield,
• 1:16:28
  Powers, and Barnett.
• 1:16:31
  Barnett?
• 1:16:32
  Yes, Paige Powers.
• 1:16:34
  Barnhart?
• 1:16:35
  Did you say Barnett?
• 1:16:36
  Sorry, Barnhart.
• 1:16:39
  How can you have Paige
• 1:16:40
  Powers and those other
• 1:16:42
  three in the same level?
• 1:16:44
  She was top 10 at the games.
• 1:16:49
  Top 10.
• 1:16:51
  Nobody else on this base camp was top 10.
• 1:16:54
  Yeah.
• 1:16:55
  I agree with all of the other guys.
• 1:16:57
  I mean, Barnhart has been top 10.
• 1:16:59
  Yeah, but I agree with her.
• 1:17:01
  She had a bad season last year,
• 1:17:02
  but normally Barnhart is in this low.
• 1:17:05
  She's healthy.
• 1:17:07
  Right.
• 1:17:09
  Like this is low for Barnhart and Paige,
• 1:17:12
  right?
• 1:17:12
  Like it's, I took,
• 1:17:13
  I took Barnhart off of my top 25.
• 1:17:14
  Yeah.
• 1:17:15
  I mean,
• 1:17:15
  I don't think there's information
• 1:17:17
  for her injury,
• 1:17:17
  but I'm just saying like regularly,
• 1:17:19
  right?
• 1:17:19
  Like if this would be low
• 1:17:20
  for both of them.
• 1:17:22
  Yes.
• 1:17:23
  Yeah.
• 1:17:28
  She shouldn't be low like that.
• 1:17:32
  I have far low,
• 1:17:32
  a little bit higher than that in my book,
• 1:17:34
  but I can see, I can see this.
• 1:17:36
  I'm okay with that.
• 1:17:38
  I'm okay with Mayer there.
• 1:17:41
  Yeah.
• 1:17:41
  It's just pages.
• 1:17:42
  That doesn't make sense.
• 1:17:45
  To me,
• 1:17:46
  I would switch and put Luckett at
• 1:17:49
  the bottom one because it's
• 1:17:50
  been a while for him.
• 1:17:52
  Yeah.
• 1:17:54
  Now he's entering base camp.
• 1:17:56
  He's moving on up now.
• 1:17:58
  I'm going to piss Corey off now,
• 1:17:59
  but Luckett did what he always does well.
• 1:18:02
  He's a great open competitor.
• 1:18:03
  Yeah.
• 1:18:05
  But that's why, like,
• 1:18:05
  he wasn't in this before.
• 1:18:06
  No.
• 1:18:06
  So I'm saying he enters at
• 1:18:09
  the bottom level.
• 1:18:11
  Agreed.
• 1:18:12
  He should be on the bottom line.
• 1:18:14
  But he wasn't in it before,
• 1:18:15
  and he hasn't really done anything new,
• 1:18:18
  in my opinion, to garner moving on.
• 1:18:22
  Okay.
• 1:18:25
  So then we have the mountain.
• 1:18:31
  which it's, it's combined male,
• 1:18:33
  female and okay.
• 1:18:35
  That didn't work.
• 1:18:37
  I thought if I changed the
• 1:18:38
  stuff in that window, it would change,
• 1:18:40
  but no.
• 1:18:44
  All right, here we go.
• 1:18:46
  So here's the mountain and okay.
• 1:18:53
  I'll let you guys talk.
• 1:18:54
  Can you even read it?
• 1:18:56
  Yeah.
• 1:18:56
  I'll zoom into full screen here.
• 1:19:00
  So essentially, the bottom rung is Saxon,
• 1:19:04
  Emma Tall, Yellow Hosta, Karen Frejova,
• 1:19:09
  BKG, Colton Mertens, and Jason Hopper.
• 1:19:15
  Wow.
• 1:19:17
  The next rung up is Koski, Jay Crouch,
• 1:19:22
  Haley Adams, Sam Quant, Lazar Jukic,
• 1:19:25
  and Katrin Davidsdottir.
• 1:19:29
  I mean,
• 1:19:29
  I don't see how Haley's on the same
• 1:19:31
  rung as Jay Crouch and even Katrin.
• 1:19:34
  If you go off her history,
• 1:19:35
  she's probably the top
• 1:19:37
  American that's never podiumed.
• 1:19:40
  Like, look at her finishes.
• 1:19:41
  She's like sixth, fifth, fourth.
• 1:19:43
  Like,
• 1:19:43
  she has all these top ten finishes
• 1:19:46
  and close to top fives.
• 1:19:49
  If she'd be at that level,
• 1:19:51
  she would be there.
• 1:19:53
  We just don't know.
• 1:19:53
  There's a lot of unknown for her.
• 1:19:55
  Exactly.
• 1:19:56
  Until we see her.
• 1:19:57
  This is, like he keeps saying,
• 1:19:59
  this is just the 2024 games.
• 1:20:02
  I don't know enough about
• 1:20:03
  Haley yet for her to be up here.
• 1:20:07
  Correct.
• 1:20:08
  That's what I'm saying.
• 1:20:09
  Paige Powers deserves to be
• 1:20:10
  there and Haley down.
• 1:20:15
  I would agree with you there.
• 1:20:17
  I would say, let's see where you're at,
• 1:20:19
  Haley.
• 1:20:20
  Off of what we know, yeah, she's right.
• 1:20:24
  I would even place her
• 1:20:25
  higher for where she normally is.
• 1:20:27
  I think she's in that tier
• 1:20:30
  with that second tier that
• 1:20:31
  we talked about.
• 1:20:33
  If she's back to where she was,
• 1:20:36
  she's in that second tier, 100%.
• 1:20:40
  So then the next tier up is Fikowski,
• 1:20:43
  Medeiros, Pepper, Brandon, Raptors.
• 1:20:47
  Why are we shitting on
• 1:20:48
  Medeiros after one bad year?
• 1:20:50
  I mean... I just sort of
• 1:20:57
  think that's... Where'd you put him?
• 1:20:59
  You put him in like seventh, right?
• 1:21:00
  Yeah.
• 1:21:01
  I'm lumping myself into it.
• 1:21:04
  Oh.
• 1:21:05
  I mean,
• 1:21:05
  I just think the men around him
• 1:21:07
  have gotten...
• 1:21:10
  You know,
• 1:21:11
  you got people like Ricky who got
• 1:21:14
  injured and make it to the games.
• 1:21:16
  Like,
• 1:21:18
  if you really truly believe Ricky's
• 1:21:20
  up there, somebody's got to drop.
• 1:21:23
  Now,
• 1:21:24
  the next row is where I have a big
• 1:21:25
  problem.
• 1:21:25
  Fikowski's pretty low, I think.
• 1:21:27
  Who's that?
• 1:21:28
  Fikowski.
• 1:21:30
  Yeah, I think Pepper's low.
• 1:21:32
  Yeah, Pepper's been doing really well.
• 1:21:34
  I mean, that whole row's really good,
• 1:21:36
  though.
• 1:21:36
  It's hard to know.
• 1:21:36
  I like it.
• 1:21:38
  So then the next level, it's Lawson, Gazan,
• 1:21:40
  Magawa, and Lowen.
• 1:21:43
  We talked about it earlier.
• 1:21:45
  Lawson is on a new level.
• 1:21:47
  I'd put Lawson on the next one.
• 1:21:49
  Yeah, Roman needs to come down,
• 1:21:51
  and Lawson needs to go up.
• 1:21:54
  Roman hasn't done... Roman,
• 1:21:57
  Rogue Invitational,
• 1:21:58
  I don't think... I don't
• 1:21:59
  know if he was fully recovered,
• 1:22:00
  but I was like, okay.
• 1:22:02
  And then Waterpalooza,
• 1:22:03
  he was there as well, right?
• 1:22:04
  Mm-hmm.
• 1:22:07
  Yeah, not great.
• 1:22:09
  He was way back for most of
• 1:22:15
  the competition.
• 1:22:16
  Correct.
• 1:22:18
  So that's where... Adler is too low.
• 1:22:24
  Krennikoff is too high.
• 1:22:27
  I think Pat Vellner is just right.
• 1:22:29
  Yeah.
• 1:22:33
  I would put Adler...
• 1:22:35
  He has to be on the same
• 1:22:35
  level as Gerard or higher.
• 1:22:37
  I agree.
• 1:22:40
  Ricky off a shoulder injury.
• 1:22:41
  We don't know where he's at.
• 1:22:44
  Like jail.
• 1:22:45
  John is putting a lot of
• 1:22:46
  faith in some injured
• 1:22:47
  people or people took a year off.
• 1:22:53
  And then he still has,
• 1:22:54
  he even said he probably
• 1:22:56
  should have moved to me
• 1:22:58
  down to even with Horvath.
• 1:23:00
  Mm-hmm.
• 1:23:02
  And he did move Horvath up like a tick.
• 1:23:06
  I do see that.
• 1:23:07
  Yeah.
• 1:23:08
  But I do have to give John Young credit.
• 1:23:11
  Like, people make fun of the dude,
• 1:23:14
  but everybody knows what
• 1:23:15
  the mountain is now.
• 1:23:19
  And everybody tunes in to see it.
• 1:23:20
  Like, good on you, man.
• 1:23:23
  I think it's great.
• 1:23:25
  I love his intensity.
• 1:23:26
  Love it.
• 1:23:27
  Yeah.
• 1:23:28
  I don't always agree with
• 1:23:29
  them and I want to fight with them.
• 1:23:32
  Like if I, if you could hear me,
• 1:23:34
  but he's got passion and
• 1:23:36
  you're going to listen
• 1:23:37
  because he's just so loud.
• 1:23:43
  But I love how everything he
• 1:23:44
  says is an absolute, like there is no,
• 1:23:49
  there's no doubt.
• 1:23:50
  There's no wiggle room.
• 1:23:51
  There's no gray.
• 1:23:53
  it is.
• 1:23:53
  Yeah.
• 1:23:56
  So, uh,
• 1:23:59
  so I've got all my notes covered up now.
• 1:24:06
  So that's pretty much it for tonight.
• 1:24:08
  I do have a,
• 1:24:09
  so we were going to do a wide
• 1:24:10
  zombie show on Sunday night,
• 1:24:11
  a new show that we're doing,
• 1:24:14
  and it's going to be funny
• 1:24:15
  videos and promoting
• 1:24:17
  podcasts and all that kind of stuff.
• 1:24:21
  I thought you were starting
• 1:24:22
  it last Sunday.
• 1:24:23
  I was waiting for it last Sunday.
• 1:24:25
  I was like, where was it?
• 1:24:29
  The whole zombie family got sick.
• 1:24:33
  So we had to drop off of it.
• 1:24:36
  But what I wanted to do is
• 1:24:38
  just share just kind of
• 1:24:41
  what it's going to be like.
• 1:24:42
  I have some of the videos on
• 1:24:45
  my Google Drive.
• 1:24:46
  So I'm going to play one or two of them.
• 1:24:50
  But
• 1:24:52
  find it here okay so the
• 1:24:55
  first one is um there is a
• 1:24:57
  a leaked video um from the
• 1:25:01
  testing of individual
• 1:25:02
  quarterfinals have you guys
• 1:25:05
  seen it no so it'll give
• 1:25:09
  you a uh hint at what maybe
• 1:25:11
  one of the quarterfinal
• 1:25:12
  workouts is is this a joke
• 1:25:16
  of course it is it's wad zombie
• 1:25:28
  I would actually like this.
• 1:25:29
  Not gonna lie.
• 1:25:33
  Why can I see you doing this?
• 1:25:34
  So that is a leaked video.
• 1:25:36
  I'm ready for it.
• 1:25:38
  I've had lots of practice of that.
• 1:25:40
  Just minus the horse.
• 1:25:54
  Yeah, I feel like you would crush that.
• 1:25:56
  I would like that.
• 1:25:58
  Bring it on, Wad Zombie.
• 1:26:01
  Actually, I'm the one that made that one.
• 1:26:02
  Oh, nice.
• 1:26:03
  I was channeling.
• 1:26:04
  So these are all ones I channeled,
• 1:26:06
  my inner Wad Zombie.
• 1:26:09
  I'm going to ask Annika if
• 1:26:12
  she ever practiced like
• 1:26:13
  that because she is back, I think,
• 1:26:15
  a little bit to riding her horses.
• 1:26:17
  I've seen on her stories.
• 1:26:19
  If she ever practiced that like that,
• 1:26:20
  we should ask her.
• 1:26:23
  next one is um do you ever
• 1:26:24
  go to a track and field
• 1:26:25
  event and the starter
• 1:26:27
  didn't put blanks in his
• 1:26:28
  gun no that sounds awful
• 1:27:06
  That gives you a taste of
• 1:27:09
  what we're trying to put together.
• 1:27:10
  All right.
• 1:27:11
  We got to watch that show then.
• 1:27:13
  Yeah.
• 1:27:14
  So I don't know when we're starting it up.
• 1:27:15
  I got to get with Wad Zombie
• 1:27:16
  and find out when he's
• 1:27:17
  going to be back to health.
• 1:27:19
  those are all from my mind
• 1:27:21
  channeling my inner wad zombie.
• 1:27:23
  And then he was going to put together some,
• 1:27:25
  and we were just going to
• 1:27:25
  go back and forth kind of like, like a,
• 1:27:29
  a weekend update or something like that.
• 1:27:33
  So, and promote other podcasts as well.
• 1:27:36
  That where we saw like interesting things.
• 1:27:39
  Um, so, and in that vein,
• 1:27:43
  like if you haven't seen
• 1:27:45
  the Hiller one about standards, um,
• 1:27:49
  sometimes I forget how
• 1:27:51
  important Stan important
• 1:27:52
  standards are when I first
• 1:27:54
  started CrossFit as just
• 1:27:55
  average Joe 450 pounder um
• 1:27:57
  it it was pounded into me
• 1:28:02
  the standards of getting
• 1:28:03
  depth and all of the stuff
• 1:28:07
  three points of um
• 1:28:10
  i don't know whatever that
• 1:28:12
  my coaching hat has been is
• 1:28:14
  old and rusty but uh you
• 1:28:17
  know having your shoulders
• 1:28:18
  above your arms and your
• 1:28:20
  hips open and knees locked
• 1:28:22
  and all that kind of stuff
• 1:28:24
  um it is important because
• 1:28:26
  at the end of the day it's
• 1:28:27
  about movement it's about
• 1:28:29
  being able to move in our
• 1:28:31
  older age better and that
• 1:28:33
  movement is important and I
• 1:28:35
  thought the video that
• 1:28:36
  andrew did about that that
• 1:28:38
  was that was good andrew
• 1:28:40
  Like that's why it is important.
• 1:28:44
  Have we gone over the edge
• 1:28:45
  of being like the bat
• 1:28:46
  signal in everybody's video?
• 1:28:48
  Maybe a little bit.
• 1:28:52
  Cause I think we have to
• 1:28:53
  remember why it is,
• 1:28:54
  why the movement standard
• 1:28:56
  is important and not just
• 1:29:00
  being mean to people.
• 1:29:03
  Yeah.
• 1:29:04
  Yeah.
• 1:29:05
  The standard is important.
• 1:29:06
  I mean, that's, that's how we have to,
• 1:29:08
  do the sport, right?
• 1:29:10
  That's the difference
• 1:29:10
  between the sport and the methodology.
• 1:29:12
  But the problem is,
• 1:29:13
  is we encourage all of the
• 1:29:15
  members to take part in the open, right?
• 1:29:17
  And they may not be ready to
• 1:29:21
  take on some of those standards, right?
• 1:29:24
  So it's like, yeah,
• 1:29:25
  we're proud that they're
• 1:29:26
  doing the open or they're
• 1:29:28
  proud of their effort and stuff.
• 1:29:30
  And that's the hard line between
• 1:29:33
  you see them day in and day
• 1:29:34
  out in the gym and, you know,
• 1:29:36
  they are getting fitter in terms of,
• 1:29:38
  you know,
• 1:29:38
  their health and moving and there's,
• 1:29:40
  you know,
• 1:29:41
  you still have as a coach to get
• 1:29:43
  them to squat below
• 1:29:44
  parallel and put the weight down and,
• 1:29:47
  you know, teach them.
• 1:29:48
  It comes down to the coach,
• 1:29:49
  but at the end of the day,
• 1:29:50
  I still think that there's
• 1:29:50
  a lot of people always in
• 1:29:52
  the comments and saying no
• 1:29:53
  reps and stuff.
• 1:29:54
  And then,
• 1:29:55
  They're like, oh, my gym,
• 1:29:56
  we do it this and I move this.
• 1:29:57
  And then you look at their
• 1:29:58
  videos and they're just as bad,
• 1:30:00
  if not worse.
• 1:30:01
  You know, it's just a bunch of.
• 1:30:04
  You know,
• 1:30:04
  and people like even like even Hiller,
• 1:30:08
  right, who's the king of.
• 1:30:11
  Movement standards and, you know,
• 1:30:14
  and then you watch some of
• 1:30:15
  his videos and people are on him, too,
• 1:30:17
  because of he's you know,
• 1:30:19
  he puts that bar very high and.
• 1:30:21
  then we start looking at
• 1:30:22
  angles of videos and, and all that,
• 1:30:24
  but you know,
• 1:30:26
  everyone likes to talk to
• 1:30:28
  the no reps and then they
• 1:30:29
  all act like they move perfectly.
• 1:30:31
  And there's no reps for everyone.
• 1:30:36
  You know,
• 1:30:38
  Well, that's this week's show.
• 1:30:41
  Tomorrow,
• 1:30:42
  we're having Chelsea Nicholas on
• 1:30:43
  the show.
• 1:30:43
  I think it is at 2 o'clock Eastern time.
• 1:30:48
  Is that the one that was at
• 1:30:49
  the games in the Masters
• 1:30:50
  and was winning and then box jumps?
• 1:30:54
  Ruptured her Achilles.
• 1:30:54
  Achilles.
• 1:30:55
  Mm-hmm.
• 1:30:57
  So we've become good friends,
• 1:30:58
  and I've been checking in
• 1:30:59
  on her throughout her recovery.
• 1:31:01
  So we're going to update
• 1:31:02
  that recovery and where she is.
• 1:31:04
  I know she's back in the gym going hard.
• 1:31:07
  She is.
• 1:31:08
  So excited to see where she
• 1:31:12
  is with all that.
• 1:31:14
  And then Tuesday,
• 1:31:15
  it's not even out yet and announced,
• 1:31:17
  but Rebecca Fusile, the champion of 24.3,
• 1:31:21
  is going to be on the show 10 a.m.
• 1:31:26
  Tuesday morning.
• 1:31:28
  That just got confirmed today.
• 1:31:30
  So you're back to doing a
• 1:31:31
  lot more interviews lately.
• 1:31:35
  I don't think I'm ever going
• 1:31:36
  to go back to the breakneck
• 1:31:38
  speed that I was at.
• 1:31:40
  Yeah.
• 1:31:41
  But I am going to pick up a
• 1:31:42
  little bit of a few here
• 1:31:43
  and there kind of, you know,
• 1:31:47
  on your terms and yeah.
• 1:31:50
  Semifinals.
• 1:31:51
  I still,
• 1:31:51
  there's less semifinalists this year,
• 1:31:53
  but I do love doing the
• 1:31:55
  semifinal interviews,
• 1:31:56
  getting to know the
• 1:31:57
  athletes that maybe not everybody knows.
• 1:32:00
  And those are usually shorter.
• 1:32:03
  So I'll still probably do those.
• 1:32:07
  But yeah, super excited.
• 1:32:09
  And I have a couple more
• 1:32:11
  fishing lines out there.
• 1:32:14
  But with quarterfinals,
• 1:32:15
  I know that week will
• 1:32:16
  probably be low volume of interviews.
• 1:32:19
  But then I'm going to be in
• 1:32:21
  Michigan with Jamie,
• 1:32:23
  filming her and Haley and
• 1:32:24
  Jim doing their quarterfinal workouts.
• 1:32:28
  And we'll probably do some
• 1:32:30
  live shows from that
• 1:32:31
  weekend and with everybody there.
• 1:32:36
  So that'll be fun.
• 1:32:38
  And we'll check in with Carolyn,
• 1:32:40
  see how she's doing.
• 1:32:42
  Yep.
• 1:32:43
  I know she's a tight to the
• 1:32:44
  vest scorekeeper.
• 1:32:45
  I am.
• 1:32:46
  We'll have to wait till the
• 1:32:47
  windows are closed.
• 1:32:48
  I just get very nervous on like,
• 1:32:49
  I don't know.
• 1:32:52
  I just,
• 1:32:52
  I don't know people's scores a lot
• 1:32:54
  of times.
• 1:32:55
  I'm just like, where's mine?
• 1:32:57
  I don't want to give people
• 1:32:59
  a redo and I don't know.
• 1:33:02
  Yeah, I get it.
• 1:33:03
  I have to find people in different regions,
• 1:33:05
  I guess that I can maybe share and, uh,
• 1:33:09
  and see how they are.
• 1:33:10
  Cause I don't have a
• 1:33:10
  training camp to kind of gauge where,
• 1:33:13
  where I'm at.
• 1:33:14
  And if I need to have a
• 1:33:16
  better kick in the butt and go harder.
• 1:33:20
  Yeah.
• 1:33:21
  We'll probably check in with
• 1:33:22
  you Saturday night after you, you know,
• 1:33:24
  the scores,
• 1:33:24
  the windows are closed and the
• 1:33:26
  leaderboard goes live for
• 1:33:27
  at least the first couple.
• 1:33:29
  Yep.
• 1:33:30
  Um,
• 1:33:31
  And with that,
• 1:33:32
  thank you to everybody in the chat.
• 1:33:33
  You guys are awesome as always.
• 1:33:35
  And we will see you all next
• 1:33:37
  time on Thursday Night CrossFit Talk.
• 1:33:41
  Bye, guys.
• 1:33:42
  And I don't have the ending ready.
