  welcome to sunday sunday
• 0:34
  sunday night crossfit talk
• 0:37
  are we ready to get jazzed
• 0:39
  I'm getting jazzed let's go
• 0:42
  it's the end of the twenty
• 0:44
  twenty five crossfit games
• 0:48
  and it was wild it was wild
• 0:54
  that men's side holy smokes
• 0:58
  There were so many good
• 0:59
  races this weekend.
• 1:02
  It really does go back to
• 1:06
  what Dave always says about
• 1:08
  the don't over program.
• 1:12
  Right.
• 1:13
  Let the athlete shine.
• 1:15
  Right.
• 1:18
  Yeah, that.
• 1:20
  And they did.
• 1:20
  They really did.
• 1:22
  I totally agree.
• 1:22
  I feel like that is exactly
• 1:25
  what I've been trying to say with this.
• 1:28
  Why do we keep saying go heavier?
• 1:29
  Why do we keep like things like that?
• 1:31
  You don't get you,
• 1:33
  you stop people in their tracks.
• 1:34
  You make people rest before a bar,
• 1:36
  but like that one Oh five,
• 1:38
  one fifty five for and seen
• 1:40
  people go to absolute failure.
• 1:42
  Like if it had been heavier
• 1:43
  and you would have seen a
• 1:44
  bunch of four twos from earlier on,
• 1:47
  it would not have been the same race.
• 1:49
  That was fun.
• 1:53
  Yeah, it was great.
• 1:57
  Just everything was great.
• 2:01
  If I have one criticism,
• 2:03
  the final event was too slow.
• 2:06
  I said the same thing.
• 2:08
  I don't know why that was
• 2:10
  not done in descending.
• 2:16
  Honestly,
• 2:17
  I feel like running Isabel should
• 2:19
  have been the final because
• 2:20
  that was so exciting, but
• 2:22
  it should have been
• 2:22
  descending and then you get
• 2:24
  three faster rope webs and
• 2:25
  maybe it should have went
• 2:26
  rope climb thruster
• 2:28
  descending reps I think it
• 2:31
  should the the final event
• 2:33
  should have been event nine
• 2:35
  yeah and event nine should
• 2:36
  have been event ten yeah
• 2:38
  but seven rope climbs for
• 2:39
  women that's not exciting
• 2:43
  sure you get it wasn't
• 2:44
  exciting for the men
• 2:46
  not really but I mean it's a
• 2:48
  little bit closer they're a
• 2:49
  little bit quicker to jump
• 2:50
  up it's slower for it's a
• 2:52
  lot slower for the women um
• 2:55
  yeah I mean the lunch sure
• 2:58
  was that close and it made
• 2:59
  it made it close in a little bit yeah but
• 3:05
  Larry Young, without the back squat,
• 3:07
  I think Ricky wins.
• 3:09
  Well, see, I talked to Dave,
• 3:10
  and Dave said that there's
• 3:12
  this guy named Larry who
• 3:14
  insists there be a
• 3:15
  representation of one heavy piece,
• 3:24
  and so he couldn't remove it.
• 3:29
  If you take that squat out period, I mean,
• 3:32
  I'm pretty sure that puts
• 3:33
  Danielle Brandon –
• 3:36
  on the podium as well.
• 3:38
  It probably definitely shakes things up.
• 3:45
  Also didn't like the final
• 3:46
  time cap for the men should
• 3:47
  have been so all could
• 3:49
  finish their last event.
• 3:51
  Yeah.
• 3:57
  I'm responding to Hattie
• 3:58
  because I got to get the
• 3:59
  final of her thing done
• 4:01
  tonight or tomorrow.
• 4:02
  Okay.
• 4:07
  Yeah, you're right, NB, SJ Construction.
• 4:10
  You can't play what-ifs
• 4:10
  because there was nine million what-ifs.
• 4:13
  So nobody's going to have a
• 4:15
  perfectly clean weekend.
• 4:17
  If Dalen hadn't jumped off
• 4:20
  the box and had to do that extra rep,
• 4:23
  would he have been up?
• 4:25
  There's a million of them.
• 4:27
  They're all over the place.
• 4:30
  Right.
• 4:31
  Right.
• 4:32
  But I did really enjoy it.
• 4:33
  I enjoyed the whole weekend for the races.
• 4:36
  Um,
• 4:37
  I was in shock when Jason failed those
• 4:39
  final snatches like that.
• 4:43
  I was like,
• 4:44
  he's going to blow the whole
• 4:45
  thing right here.
• 4:46
  I know he had just enough buffer.
• 4:51
  He did great in that final event though.
• 4:54
  He, I mean,
• 4:54
  he did exactly what he needed to do.
• 4:56
  I was very bummed for James.
• 5:00
  the justin out touching him
• 5:04
  with the foot reach like
• 5:06
  man because he would have
• 5:08
  been he would have been
• 5:08
  second you know I I was
• 5:13
  bummed for james I think I
• 5:16
  think him getting second I
• 5:18
  mean it was only one point
• 5:19
  so it is what it is you can
• 5:20
  look at it how you want to
• 5:21
  look at it but and him
• 5:22
  being on the podium at all
• 5:24
  should speak volumes about him
• 5:29
  Right.
• 5:29
  Last year was not a fluke.
• 5:31
  Exactly.
• 5:37
  They were only fifteen
• 5:38
  points behind Hopper.
• 5:41
  Right.
• 5:43
  Yeah, it was anybody's game.
• 5:46
  Unlike the female side.
• 5:49
  The third place spot, that was exciting.
• 5:55
  I mean, that was incredibly exciting.
• 5:57
  I didn't expect...
• 5:58
  that to be Olivia, right,
• 5:59
  but the top two are sealed up.
• 6:02
  Sure way yesterday.
• 6:04
  What's new?
• 6:07
  The top two.
• 6:08
  If it's Laura and Tia
• 6:11
  usually is locked up one
• 6:12
  and two are usually locked
• 6:13
  up and it's been for third.
• 6:16
  But hey, that third was exciting.
• 6:20
  So I see Lex say that she
• 6:21
  wishes that Lydia fish was
• 6:23
  spirit of the games.
• 6:24
  I don't understand spirit of games.
• 6:25
  I'm never happy with who wins it.
• 6:27
  So I'm not even going to
• 6:28
  commentate on it because
• 6:31
  I've never been given a,
• 6:32
  a clear direction as to what that is.
• 6:35
  Yeah.
• 6:37
  But what I will say is being in the back,
• 6:40
  Lydia fish is tiny.
• 6:43
  Like, I think, I think you're tiny.
• 6:46
  Lydia fish is like way tiny.
• 6:49
  Well, she's,
• 6:50
  taller than me she's got
• 6:53
  like that but she does not
• 6:55
  have the the guns you do I
• 6:57
  I will agree with that it
• 7:03
  it compared to every other
• 7:05
  athlete back here she is
• 7:07
  like so small and to be out
• 7:11
  there throwing down with
• 7:13
  those women is super super impressive
• 7:18
  I mean, she's not guys.
• 7:19
  I'm just really short.
• 7:20
  I'm like five, three.
• 7:21
  She's probably five, four or five, five.
• 7:23
  She's just taller than me.
• 7:27
  I would bet she's five, five.
• 7:30
  Yeah.
• 7:30
  I mean, she's not,
• 7:32
  she's not Amy Kringle tall or no.
• 7:35
  which I,
• 7:35
  she was taller than I thought she was.
• 7:37
  Um,
• 7:38
  Miravon roar is definitely thicker than
• 7:43
  I thought she was because
• 7:44
  with the high rock stuff, but she,
• 7:47
  I wouldn't want to meet her
• 7:48
  in a dark alley.
• 7:50
  Um, it was, it, a lot of it surprised me.
• 7:53
  It's been a minute since
• 7:55
  I've been that close to a
• 7:56
  lot of these athletes.
• 7:58
  Lucy Campbell's really tall,
• 8:00
  like really tall.
• 8:01
  Yes.
• 8:01
  Yes.
• 8:07
  meredith says okay she's
• 8:08
  trim it's more than trim
• 8:10
  she's just slight I it's it
• 8:14
  which makes what she's
• 8:15
  doing so much more
• 8:17
  impressive to me yeah for
• 8:22
  how good she is on her
• 8:23
  hands and her like shoulder
• 8:25
  stamina I would expect her
• 8:27
  shoulders to be bigger and
• 8:31
  yeah she is kind of slight
• 8:34
  uh well lynn you are very tall
• 8:38
  You are taller than every
• 8:39
  CrossFit athlete I've ever met.
• 8:42
  So to you,
• 8:44
  Lucy Campbell probably is not tall.
• 8:49
  I mean, Carolyn is small.
• 8:52
  Yeah.
• 8:53
  So... Not Lydia Fish small, but small.
• 8:57
  Well, she's shorter.
• 9:03
  That's the perfect word for it, slight.
• 9:06
  Yeah.
• 9:07
  Yeah.
• 9:08
  I would.
• 9:09
  Yeah.
• 9:09
  And I say that with all respect,
• 9:11
  she is doing such amazing
• 9:13
  things in a teeny tiny package.
• 9:26
  I'm big now.
• 9:27
  Come on.
• 9:28
  I feel when I was standing next to Carolyn,
• 9:32
  I actually felt big and I
• 9:34
  don't feel big very often.
• 9:36
  I when I'm on the floor I
• 9:39
  feel like I'm the smallest
• 9:40
  one out there almost all
• 9:42
  the time except for against
• 9:44
  Carrie mainly she's little
• 9:47
  although she's also jacked
• 9:49
  but for the most part I
• 9:50
  feel like I'm the smallest
• 9:51
  one on the floor and I feel
• 9:53
  like when I'm next to Carolyn I feel big
• 9:59
  Carolyn did get a lot of... I'm not on,
• 10:01
  but I'm listening.
• 10:02
  If you want to come on,
• 10:02
  I'll send you a link.
• 10:04
  I just wanted to give you time to rest up.
• 10:07
  I know it's been a long weekend for you.
• 10:15
  I accidentally bumped into Fish at Crash.
• 10:17
  I thought she was a child.
• 10:18
  I can see that.
• 10:23
  Carolyn got a lot of TV time
• 10:25
  and mentions on the broadcast.
• 10:26
  She did.
• 10:26
  She did.
• 10:26
  It was nice.
• 10:32
  Craig Richards,
• 10:32
  though the top two is sealed,
• 10:34
  the storylines of seeing Miriam,
• 10:35
  Lucy McGonigal,
• 10:37
  and Lydia Fish do well as
• 10:38
  they did for rookies was impressive.
• 10:40
  Listen here, Craig.
• 10:42
  Listen here.
• 10:43
  You all got on me.
• 10:44
  Annika Greer is a rookie,
• 10:46
  and nobody is mentioning her name.
• 10:49
  Everybody gave me crap for
• 10:51
  putting her in my top ten.
• 10:52
  Amy.
• 10:53
  Ninth place.
• 10:54
  Ninth place.
• 10:55
  Which I think is where I listed her,
• 10:57
  right?
• 10:58
  Right there, Annika Greer.
• 11:00
  Annika Greer, represent.
• 11:03
  I picked her next.
• 11:03
  Yes, Miriam finished higher,
• 11:05
  but Annika freaking killed it.
• 11:08
  Exactly.
• 11:10
  We said she would have some
• 11:12
  spectacular finishes.
• 11:14
  I will say there were a
• 11:14
  couple events I expected
• 11:15
  her to finish higher on that she didn't.
• 11:18
  So I feel like there's room
• 11:20
  for that ninth to be even higher.
• 11:25
  But yes, she did.
• 11:28
  as we said she was in the
• 11:30
  top ten um annika did
• 11:35
  amazing ttt honey she did
• 11:40
  great she looked composed
• 11:41
  all weekend in the back um
• 11:44
  I think max is doing an
• 11:45
  amazing job with her all
• 11:48
  right I'm going to try to
• 11:48
  send carolyn a link katie l I'm
• 11:57
  I'm hype on Tudor.
• 11:58
  I do like to shout his praises.
• 12:01
  Oh, let's get into that.
• 12:03
  Tudor was most improved.
• 12:05
  Was he?
• 12:05
  Is that who was picked?
• 12:08
  I love that.
• 12:10
  Aww.
• 12:21
  Thanks, John.
• 12:21
  Thanks for recognizing our Annika pick.
• 12:25
  I think we were all higher
• 12:29
  on Austin than we should have been.
• 12:32
  Although, I will say,
• 12:34
  he started out today.
• 12:35
  I was like,
• 12:36
  this dude might even win the games.
• 12:38
  And I thought the last event
• 12:40
  would go better for him than it did.
• 12:44
  His rope climbs are just mind-boggling.
• 12:47
  Who was that?
• 12:48
  Austin Hatfield.
• 12:49
  Oh, yeah.
• 12:52
  What happened to that?
• 12:53
  I don't know.
• 12:55
  I mean,
• 12:55
  that should have easily been like a
• 12:57
  top six place workout for him.
• 13:02
  I think quite a few people
• 13:03
  may have picked him on heat one even.
• 13:06
  Trash.
• 13:06
  Trash is right.
• 13:07
  It was, yeah.
• 13:09
  I don't know what happened
• 13:10
  because he was riding so high.
• 13:12
  Maybe he just burnt out a
• 13:15
  little too early.
• 13:15
  I don't know.
• 13:16
  And maybe he started too hot.
• 13:20
  since john's here and said
• 13:22
  that he that was a big miss
• 13:24
  I also at least lucy
• 13:25
  campbell fourth you did
• 13:27
  that was the best pick just
• 13:31
  saying I didn't trust it I
• 13:36
  didn't even put her in my
• 13:37
  top ten and I I mean kick
• 13:39
  myself for that one because
• 13:43
  I should have known she was
• 13:45
  just saying she still wasn't sure,
• 13:48
  and she's just trying to
• 13:49
  keep the hype down when
• 13:52
  she's proved it all season.
• 13:57
  There she is.
• 13:59
  Hello.
• 14:01
  CrossFit Games athlete Carolyn Prevost.
• 14:03
  I don't know if I can see
• 14:04
  the chat on my phone.
• 14:06
  I don't know if you can.
• 14:12
  How do you feel?
• 14:14
  I feel good.
• 14:14
  Like, this is probably, honestly,
• 14:16
  the least sore I've been in
• 14:17
  all of my CrossFit games.
• 14:18
  Really?
• 14:20
  Yeah, I remember going into some of the,
• 14:21
  like, the day,
• 14:22
  I guess it would be day fours normally,
• 14:24
  and being super, super sore.
• 14:26
  So...
• 14:27
  yeah like legs don't feel
• 14:29
  too bad um upper body was
• 14:32
  like the one thing that was
• 14:33
  like a little bit more sore
• 14:35
  than the lower body but
• 14:37
  yeah the back the back to
• 14:38
  back last like nine and ten
• 14:40
  went really fast one like
• 14:41
  within an hour we were back
• 14:42
  on the floor yeah um so
• 14:44
  that one like my legs were
• 14:45
  a little bit more sore for
• 14:47
  but yeah feel pretty good
• 14:50
  yeah I was kind of curious
• 14:51
  how you would feel about
• 14:52
  that if you were if you were sore and how
• 14:56
  knowing that masters games is four days,
• 14:58
  does that give you any, are you like, eh,
• 15:03
  I won't be as sore.
• 15:04
  I mean,
• 15:04
  I've done this now the volume should be.
• 15:08
  No, cause it's, you know,
• 15:10
  whatever it'll be eight
• 15:11
  workouts and you're still
• 15:12
  going as hard as you can for all of that.
• 15:14
  And you can get sore really
• 15:16
  in one day of working out.
• 15:19
  The right workout.
• 15:20
  Yeah.
• 15:21
  Like the masters one's not going to be,
• 15:23
  it's not going to be easy.
• 15:23
  Like it's going to be,
• 15:24
  it's going to be difficult.
• 15:29
  Yeah.
• 15:29
  So I want to ask you Carolyn,
• 15:31
  what did you think of the crowds?
• 15:34
  It was the smallest crowd
• 15:36
  that I've seen at the CrossFit Games.
• 15:37
  I've been at the CrossFit
• 15:38
  Games every single year
• 15:40
  since twenty fifteen,
• 15:42
  except for last year was
• 15:44
  the first year I missed.
• 15:45
  So twenty fifteen, sixteen,
• 15:47
  like in California,
• 15:48
  because we had teenagers
• 15:49
  that were competing at the
• 15:50
  games and then the ones in
• 15:52
  Madison at first,
• 15:54
  like I was going to go see
• 15:55
  just like as a spectator
• 15:57
  for one of the years.
• 15:58
  And yeah, the crowd was so small.
• 16:01
  I just think the tickets are
• 16:02
  way too expensive.
• 16:04
  Like,
• 16:05
  especially like a year like this year,
• 16:07
  make them a little bit cheaper,
• 16:09
  get it filled, make it look good,
• 16:13
  get people to see what the
• 16:14
  CrossFit Games are all about.
• 16:16
  Like,
• 16:16
  tickets are four hundred bucks American,
• 16:19
  which is like super expensive for...
• 16:21
  canadians um and even other
• 16:23
  people like it's just yeah
• 16:25
  it was empty in there the
• 16:26
  last you know the last
• 16:28
  workout once the teams were
• 16:29
  all done there was a little
• 16:31
  bit more people but the top
• 16:32
  is still empty and even
• 16:34
  behind the rig like towards
• 16:36
  the start line that area
• 16:38
  was a little bit empty but
• 16:40
  then the rest of it looked
• 16:41
  good so some of the
• 16:42
  pictures like in the background
• 16:44
  Like,
• 16:44
  it just doesn't look as good as other
• 16:46
  years.
• 16:47
  Like,
• 16:47
  when you're posting a picture before
• 16:48
  and you just have every seat is taken,
• 16:51
  like,
• 16:51
  the picture just looks like it's a
• 16:53
  big show.
• 16:54
  And this year,
• 16:54
  some of the pictures I've been, like,
• 16:56
  getting of myself or, like,
• 16:57
  just seeing the competitors,
• 16:58
  you look in the background
• 16:59
  and you're like, ooh.
• 17:01
  And then when the teams would go, oh,
• 17:03
  my gosh, it would empty out.
• 17:04
  Really?
• 17:05
  A lot.
• 17:06
  It did that every – it's
• 17:07
  done that every year, though.
• 17:08
  Like, that's not a new thing.
• 17:11
  Yeah.
• 17:12
  Yeah.
• 17:13
  mean jamie you and I had our
• 17:14
  choice of seats when the
• 17:15
  team's true but it's not
• 17:18
  yeah that's true we did
• 17:19
  have our choice of seats I
• 17:21
  love I like watching the
• 17:22
  team competition I mean I
• 17:24
  always love a good race
• 17:27
  well we'll talk about that
• 17:27
  in a second uh larry young
• 17:29
  ah come on we want to see
• 17:30
  the guns shelly turned to
• 17:31
  me and said if my arms look
• 17:33
  like that I wouldn't have
• 17:34
  anything with sleeves
• 17:36
  talking about our f girl
• 17:38
  carolyn privo arms
• 17:43
  you had your you had your
• 17:44
  guns out one event yeah one
• 17:47
  event because I've been
• 17:48
  wearing the same two shirts
• 17:49
  all weekend long I gave it
• 17:51
  a rest I wore a men's
• 17:52
  medium tank tucked it in so
• 17:54
  it wasn't so long um but
• 17:57
  the arms were getting itchy
• 17:58
  on that one so I was I went
• 17:59
  back to the t-shirt um yeah
• 18:03
  no one one event I showed
• 18:04
  the the small guns I have
• 18:08
  so Meredith did the venue
• 18:09
  feel full no um yesterday
• 18:12
  was the best day the bottom
• 18:14
  lower bowl was pretty full
• 18:15
  yesterday with some seats
• 18:17
  up above today they
• 18:19
  actually let everybody from
• 18:20
  the upper bowl come down to
• 18:21
  the lower bowl to fill that
• 18:23
  in as much as possible and
• 18:26
  some people did not move
• 18:28
  they kept their seats up
• 18:29
  above but it filled in pretty good for
• 18:34
  eighty percent of the lower
• 18:36
  bold but the rig really
• 18:38
  blocks the view of any
• 18:39
  event so if you're a lot
• 18:42
  behind that rig on the one
• 18:44
  end you can't see anything
• 18:48
  so if you had seats there I
• 18:50
  would be extremely upset
• 18:52
  People were moving around, I think,
• 18:54
  for seats wherever they
• 18:55
  wanted at some point.
• 18:57
  Like people from the up top,
• 18:58
  I think we're coming all the way down.
• 19:00
  So they got a good deal
• 19:01
  paying for cheaper tickets
• 19:03
  and then just going all the
• 19:03
  way down because it's not
• 19:04
  like they were checking the
• 19:06
  like the seating at all.
• 19:08
  So you could have just
• 19:09
  bought a cheaper ticket and
• 19:11
  gone where you wanted.
• 19:12
  Yeah.
• 19:15
  Bossman said nobody wanted
• 19:16
  to go to Albany.
• 19:18
  Shelly Young says,
• 19:19
  I think it's because the
• 19:19
  Masters aren't there.
• 19:20
  They bring a lot of people with them.
• 19:22
  Their gyms are super supportive.
• 19:25
  I think that's a factor, too.
• 19:26
  I think like when you have
• 19:27
  the Masters that go earlier
• 19:29
  on in the week and then
• 19:30
  they stay and watch the
• 19:32
  individuals and teams like
• 19:34
  they did bring a lot of people.
• 19:37
  Like I wasn't at the Texas
• 19:40
  one last year to know what it was like,
• 19:43
  what it would have been
• 19:44
  like prior to the incident,
• 19:47
  whether if like if it would
• 19:48
  have been full there
• 19:50
  without because that's the
• 19:50
  first year without the Masters, right,
• 19:52
  was that year.
• 19:53
  But because of everything that happened,
• 19:55
  like we never got to see
• 19:56
  whether the impact was
• 19:58
  there on that year as well.
• 20:00
  Yeah.
• 20:01
  Or if we're just seeing it,
• 20:02
  this is the first impact
• 20:03
  that we're truly seeing because
• 20:09
  Yeah.
• 20:09
  Team equals visit to vendor village.
• 20:12
  I'm going to skip one and
• 20:13
  come back to for a second.
• 20:14
  But Lynn says also coral
• 20:17
  looked awesome on you, Carolyn.
• 20:18
  Thank you.
• 20:22
  Anthony Adams says broadcast
• 20:23
  was phenomenal.
• 20:25
  We are going to have to
• 20:26
  agree to disagree on that.
• 20:27
  Yeah.
• 20:29
  I actually took pictures.
• 20:30
  I meant to put them up.
• 20:32
  I'll do it sometime this
• 20:32
  week on the lunch show.
• 20:36
  The cameraman,
• 20:38
  to get those close-up shots
• 20:39
  that they do all the time,
• 20:42
  blocked the view in the
• 20:44
  arena from so many people.
• 20:46
  You could not see.
• 20:48
  And today,
• 20:48
  the last couple events where
• 20:50
  everything is so exciting,
• 20:51
  the cameraman is blocking
• 20:53
  your view from everything
• 20:54
  because he's trying to get
• 20:55
  up close and in the face.
• 20:57
  It is utterly ridiculous
• 20:59
  that that is still going on
• 21:01
  today after fifteen years.
• 21:05
  Agree.
• 21:07
  Yeah.
• 21:07
  So not only does that make
• 21:08
  for a poor viewing
• 21:09
  experience for you guys live,
• 21:12
  which ultimately I feel
• 21:14
  like if the broadcast isn't great,
• 21:16
  most people would be like, well,
• 21:17
  go live and you can experience it.
• 21:19
  But if they're also blocking
• 21:21
  your view live,
• 21:22
  that makes it even worse
• 21:23
  because we don't need to
• 21:26
  see those zoomed in shots,
• 21:27
  like get those people back
• 21:28
  off of the floor.
• 21:30
  And you make everyone happier.
• 21:32
  You make you guys live happier.
• 21:33
  You make us watching the
• 21:34
  broadcast happier.
• 21:36
  That running Elizabeth or running Isabel,
• 21:40
  you didn't want close-ups.
• 21:42
  It was happening too fast.
• 21:44
  You wanted to see multiple
• 21:46
  lanes at a time.
• 21:47
  Do I need to see all ten?
• 21:48
  No.
• 21:49
  But I want to see like five.
• 21:51
  Yeah.
• 21:53
  I wanted to see.
• 21:55
  At least, yeah, at least five lanes.
• 21:58
  Something panned out enough
• 21:59
  where you could see people snatch,
• 22:01
  drop the bar,
• 22:02
  and turn to run so you could
• 22:03
  see who left when.
• 22:05
  And they would be just on, like,
• 22:08
  Hatfield cycling snatches.
• 22:09
  And I don't know when anyone
• 22:11
  else left on their run.
• 22:12
  Like, no clue what the order is.
• 22:16
  What did you guys actually
• 22:17
  think of Albany?
• 22:20
  So I will say this.
• 22:22
  Yes, the stands were not full.
• 22:24
  Vendor Village was fuller
• 22:25
  than it was last year.
• 22:28
  The vibe was way better this
• 22:30
  year than last year.
• 22:31
  Of course it would be.
• 22:33
  And I would say that the
• 22:34
  vibe was probably better
• 22:36
  this year than the last
• 22:37
  couple years I've gone to the games.
• 22:41
  I felt like it just had more
• 22:43
  of a community feel where
• 22:45
  everybody wanted to talk,
• 22:47
  everybody wanted to hug,
• 22:48
  everybody wanted to see
• 22:50
  what was going on.
• 22:51
  I felt like the vibe was...
• 22:55
  incredible.
• 22:58
  Now,
• 22:58
  I didn't go in the city much because
• 23:00
  I'm there from eight in the
• 23:02
  morning till six thirty at
• 23:03
  night back to the hotel to
• 23:05
  do this show but I thought
• 23:09
  the vibe was cool.
• 23:11
  That's good.
• 23:14
  Was Albany a good host aside
• 23:16
  from maybe not the most ideal location?
• 23:18
  I from what the one big
• 23:21
  complaint I heard is Albany
• 23:22
  did not promote the event.
• 23:24
  When we went to Madison,
• 23:26
  Madison did everything they
• 23:27
  could to promote the event
• 23:28
  when you got there.
• 23:30
  There were CrossFit signs on
• 23:32
  local establishments, local buildings.
• 23:35
  That didn't happen here.
• 23:37
  I was having breakfast at
• 23:39
  the hotel the one day, and on the news,
• 23:42
  Hiller was getting
• 23:43
  interviewed about the event,
• 23:45
  like on the local news.
• 23:47
  That's awesome.
• 23:49
  And I was like, oh, my God.
• 23:50
  Everyone that they could have picked,
• 23:51
  they have Hiller.
• 23:52
  That's hilarious.
• 23:57
  there was in his video that
• 23:59
  he did there was some signs
• 24:01
  on the street like on the
• 24:02
  lamppost there was some
• 24:03
  hanging signs so those are
• 24:06
  right around the arena
• 24:07
  right at the venue yes I
• 24:11
  mike I'm sorry I don't know
• 24:12
  what you're wowing but uh
• 24:22
  here we go again the broadcast
• 24:26
  Listen,
• 24:27
  it hasn't changed in fifteen years.
• 24:31
  Yeah.
• 24:32
  I don't know.
• 24:32
  I'm just yelling at the TV
• 24:34
  and I'm just sick of it.
• 24:36
  It makes me not want to watch.
• 24:37
  And I really want to watch.
• 24:38
  I want to know what's going on.
• 24:40
  And I'm just yelling at the TV, like,
• 24:42
  don't care, don't care.
• 24:43
  I don't care about seeing
• 24:44
  the person stand up from
• 24:45
  their handstand pushups and stand there.
• 24:48
  Like,
• 24:49
  move along and show someone else
• 24:50
  trying handstand pushups.
• 24:51
  I wanted to see people's handstand pushups,
• 24:54
  and I think I saw three
• 24:55
  people do handstand pushups
• 24:57
  out of that event.
• 24:58
  Like,
• 25:00
  I don't even know that we saw Justin
• 25:01
  Medeiros' handstand pushups.
• 25:03
  I would have liked to have seen those.
• 25:04
  I would have liked to have
• 25:06
  seen a few more of Colton's.
• 25:08
  We were on Tia a lot.
• 25:10
  I don't know.
• 25:11
  It's just like, I don't, I don't care.
• 25:14
  And I don't care to see her
• 25:15
  go on the yoke and go get on the bike.
• 25:17
  Like everyone is over here
• 25:18
  doing handstand pushups.
• 25:19
  Can we see anyone else get through these?
• 25:22
  Is everyone doing singles?
• 25:23
  I don't know.
• 25:25
  I think a lot of people are
• 25:25
  doing singles on that,
• 25:27
  especially with the females.
• 25:28
  I mean, that was a,
• 25:29
  that was a handstand pushup
• 25:30
  workout for sure.
• 25:31
  Yeah.
• 25:32
  And like the finale was a,
• 25:33
  was a rope climb workout.
• 25:34
  That was a lot of rope climbs.
• 25:36
  Yes.
• 25:38
  Uh,
• 25:41
  we missed Justin beating James.
• 25:43
  Yeah.
• 25:44
  That was the best part of that event.
• 25:48
  And you knew Justin was
• 25:49
  going to do well at that event.
• 25:53
  You saw it coming down the
• 25:55
  lane that all three of them were tight.
• 25:58
  There was going to be a
• 25:59
  tight finish between two of
• 26:00
  the three of them.
• 26:01
  And Justin's not going to
• 26:02
  put the bar down in an overhead lunge.
• 26:06
  Is that his third win doing
• 26:07
  lunges at the games?
• 26:09
  I think so.
• 26:12
  um yeah it might have been
• 26:15
  he doesn't win much but he
• 26:16
  wins the lunch events
• 26:17
  doesn't he um but the
• 26:21
  entire arena got up on
• 26:22
  their feet because they
• 26:24
  anticipated that ending
• 26:26
  yeah and for the broadcast
• 26:27
  not to do that that's a
• 26:28
  problem yeah that was an
• 26:31
  exciting finish though it was awesome
• 26:35
  Because you haven't seen, like,
• 26:37
  really a leaderboard that close where,
• 26:39
  honestly,
• 26:40
  there was five of them maybe
• 26:41
  that could have,
• 26:42
  depending on where everyone
• 26:44
  finished in that workout,
• 26:45
  could have just kind of
• 26:46
  taken that top spot.
• 26:47
  It was cool.
• 26:50
  Anthony Adams, Chase and Adrian,
• 26:51
  where great camera work did suck ass.
• 26:54
  Fair.
• 27:01
  Uh...
• 27:08
  Yeah, when they showed that Brooke piece,
• 27:11
  were there still women on
• 27:12
  the floor finishing the event?
• 27:15
  No.
• 27:16
  Everyone was done?
• 27:17
  Everyone was done.
• 27:21
  Yeah.
• 27:22
  Yeah, the event was not over.
• 27:25
  Her heat was over.
• 27:26
  They showed the thing in
• 27:28
  between heats two and three.
• 27:30
  Yeah.
• 27:30
  And then heat three came out.
• 27:34
  I was just making sure
• 27:34
  everyone was done because once again,
• 27:35
  I didn't really know.
• 27:38
  An easier access to vendor village,
• 27:40
  et cetera, correct?
• 27:41
  Well, there were two vendor villages.
• 27:44
  So there was a vendor
• 27:44
  village outside on the street.
• 27:47
  And then there was a vendor
• 27:48
  village in an adjacent
• 27:50
  building where the athlete
• 27:52
  village and the press rooms were.
• 27:57
  But the vendor village in
• 27:59
  that adjacent building was really nice,
• 28:02
  really nicely set up,
• 28:04
  very easy to walk around,
• 28:06
  very crowded for most of
• 28:07
  the week that I saw.
• 28:10
  That's good.
• 28:12
  I mean,
• 28:13
  that's what we want for the vendors.
• 28:19
  Oh,
• 28:19
  they were talking about the handstand
• 28:20
  push-up ones.
• 28:22
  where they were doing the
• 28:23
  piece on where Sydney was talking.
• 28:25
  That was really annoying.
• 28:26
  I agreed.
• 28:30
  DFW Vendor Village took forever to get in.
• 28:33
  It was four blocks away.
• 28:35
  You had to go through security.
• 28:36
  They have security at these
• 28:38
  vendor villages as well,
• 28:40
  but they were really quick, really,
• 28:43
  really fast compared to
• 28:45
  Dallas-Fort Worth last year.
• 28:52
  Um, uh, talk on it.
• 28:58
  Madison was better than we
• 28:59
  give it credit for.
• 29:01
  I liked, I liked the,
• 29:02
  the vibe of Madison having
• 29:04
  an outdoor indoor.
• 29:06
  I really do miss as great as
• 29:09
  the programming wasn't as
• 29:11
  much as the athletes were
• 29:12
  able to highlight the programming.
• 29:14
  I do miss the,
• 29:15
  a little bit of outdoor work.
• 29:17
  Yeah.
• 29:19
  I also think that's part of
• 29:20
  what made Madison busier
• 29:24
  was you could buy just the
• 29:26
  festival ticket and you
• 29:27
  could just do the outdoor,
• 29:29
  do the beer garden, do vendor village.
• 29:32
  And you could say if,
• 29:33
  if money was a concern to you,
• 29:35
  you would still get to see
• 29:36
  events and be a part of it, um, for like.
• 29:40
  Two hundred bucks or less.
• 29:41
  I don't know.
• 29:41
  Those, the, those were, I mean,
• 29:44
  either they were less than that.
• 29:44
  I feel like the festival
• 29:46
  tickets were quite reasonable.
• 29:49
  uh there's no odd objects
• 29:51
  really like at the games
• 29:53
  like you just had what the
• 29:54
  axle bar and I guess a
• 29:56
  dumbbell but like no
• 29:58
  sandbag no kettlebells no
• 30:00
  slides no pigs no snail
• 30:04
  like just no I guess yolk
• 30:06
  is a hot object but um
• 30:09
  nothing about the yolk like
• 30:10
  the yolk was not really
• 30:12
  anything in that workout meredith jones
• 30:17
  Meredith Jones says,
• 30:18
  I love that Hiller was a
• 30:19
  spokesman for Albany.
• 30:23
  Yeah.
• 30:23
  One shout out to Hiller is
• 30:26
  he did let me record a video for Tyson.
• 30:30
  Oh, he didn't come, did he?
• 30:32
  He didn't.
• 30:33
  They would not.
• 30:34
  The Bears wouldn't allow him to leave.
• 30:35
  I mean, I can't blame them.
• 30:46
  ninety nine dollars for
• 30:46
  festival tickets see that's
• 30:48
  I mean that's that's a good
• 30:51
  deal yeah we're way behind
• 30:57
  here I know I see dildo I
• 30:58
  gotta scroll past questions
• 31:00
  to carolyn about uh and I
• 31:02
  feel like she was kind of
• 31:03
  answering that right there
• 31:04
  just something odd object
• 31:05
  is what she felt was
• 31:06
  missing yeah what's one
• 31:09
  movement missing from this
• 31:11
  year's programming that you
• 31:12
  felt should have been included
• 31:16
  Was this year a good test in your opinion?
• 31:20
  I think there were a lot of
• 31:20
  short workouts at, uh,
• 31:22
  when you look at it.
• 31:25
  Um, I mean, yeah, just no odd odd.
• 31:29
  It was very, I mean,
• 31:30
  it was very CrossFit in general.
• 31:33
  Like anyone could do any of
• 31:34
  these workouts at their gym.
• 31:35
  Really?
• 31:36
  There was no,
• 31:38
  no surprising element that
• 31:40
  people had to adjust to.
• 31:41
  There was one twist of the
• 31:42
  weekend was just adding more running.
• 31:46
  But not deadlifts.
• 31:47
  Oh, man, when they announced that twist,
• 31:49
  I was like, come on.
• 31:51
  You're going to add
• 31:52
  handstand walk and running,
• 31:55
  and you're just going to
• 31:56
  keep the deadlift the same.
• 31:57
  I was like, please, please.
• 32:01
  Yeah, I was expecting more twists.
• 32:03
  That didn't really come,
• 32:05
  or just more odd object
• 32:07
  things in general.
• 32:10
  Yeah.
• 32:15
  The spectator experience in
• 32:17
  Madison was also great.
• 32:19
  There were tons of clinics, seminars,
• 32:20
  and workouts to do.
• 32:22
  It was more than watching
• 32:23
  athletes in Vendor Village.
• 32:24
  They did have some clinics
• 32:26
  and activations here.
• 32:27
  It was mostly mayhem because
• 32:30
  that's who they got to
• 32:30
  coordinate with them.
• 32:33
  But, yeah, there was some here.
• 32:36
  To add to my answer from before,
• 32:39
  I don't think it was a very heavy Games,
• 32:41
  if I'm being honest.
• 32:44
  like the only heavy thing
• 32:46
  that we saw like yeah we
• 32:48
  did a max back squat a
• 32:51
  heavy deadlift and maybe
• 32:54
  the the dumbbell I feel
• 32:58
  like that squat clean got
• 33:00
  heavy enough for you guys I
• 33:01
  personally you know the
• 33:02
  squat clean no one
• 33:04
  struggled at two oh five
• 33:05
  not a single person
• 33:07
  Who missed the lift?
• 33:08
  No one.
• 33:08
  Nobody missed.
• 33:10
  No one even,
• 33:10
  no one even took their time to go.
• 33:12
  Like they were just kind of
• 33:13
  going through it.
• 33:14
  I do not think that that was a heavy, not,
• 33:16
  no, no way.
• 33:19
  All of the girls said it wasn't heavy.
• 33:20
  No one had to think about it.
• 33:21
  I don't know.
• 33:23
  And if you love this banter,
• 33:24
  come check out the masters
• 33:25
  CrossFit games where these
• 33:27
  two argue over every piece
• 33:29
  of programming throughout the day.
• 33:30
  Well, of course it was a pegboard workout.
• 33:32
  I mean, especially with people slipping.
• 33:35
  Yeah.
• 33:35
  That was unfortunate.
• 33:36
  Yeah.
• 33:36
  Yeah.
• 33:39
  And it's different from lane to lane too,
• 33:41
  right?
• 33:42
  Because the teams were on
• 33:43
  before doing a five-minute for time,
• 33:45
  and you could have certain
• 33:46
  lanes that were just a
• 33:47
  little bit more sweaty than others.
• 33:50
  Yeah, it's crazy.
• 33:51
  Some of the people in the
• 33:52
  final heat that would
• 33:54
  typically do amazing in
• 33:55
  that workout all of a
• 33:57
  sudden were not doing so hot.
• 34:02
  yeah that was unfortunate I
• 34:06
  would agree with the
• 34:07
  shorter workouts though and
• 34:09
  you will find that that
• 34:11
  will be the case at masters
• 34:14
  I mean we added up the time
• 34:15
  we were on the floor last
• 34:16
  year and it was like not
• 34:18
  very much like it's just
• 34:20
  short and it's hard to I
• 34:22
  don't know if you're not a
• 34:24
  short sprinty power output
• 34:25
  athlete good luck
• 34:31
  Before I get back to Lynn,
• 34:32
  I can't believe you guys
• 34:33
  think it wasn't heavy
• 34:34
  enough and Larry was happy
• 34:35
  with the programming.
• 34:36
  I think it was plenty heavy enough.
• 34:38
  I think it made for good races.
• 34:39
  I've said this.
• 34:40
  I think if you made anything
• 34:41
  heavier than it was,
• 34:42
  it would have resulted in
• 34:43
  people standing around and
• 34:44
  that's not exciting.
• 34:47
  Lynn does ask,
• 34:48
  was it way more running this
• 34:49
  year or am I just unfit?
• 34:52
  I think it was running every
• 34:53
  year at the games.
• 34:54
  Yeah,
• 34:55
  I actually feel like it was almost less.
• 34:57
  There's just like, there was less events.
• 35:00
  So maybe three out of the ten is, you know,
• 35:04
  thirty percent head running isn't as bad.
• 35:06
  But like when there's twelve
• 35:07
  or thirteen events,
• 35:09
  I think that you would
• 35:10
  still see some sort of
• 35:11
  running for events.
• 35:16
  Yeah,
• 35:17
  I think it's about what you would
• 35:19
  normally see.
• 35:21
  I don't think it was like
• 35:22
  necessarily more than usual.
• 35:25
  What I did here is the
• 35:26
  plexiglass pegboards were
• 35:28
  the same pegboards used in
• 35:30
  twenty fifteen.
• 35:32
  That rogue just had them in storage,
• 35:34
  brought them out, hooked them up again.
• 35:37
  They use them in twenty
• 35:38
  twenty two as well.
• 35:39
  I did a pegboard at the end.
• 35:41
  It's the same one that
• 35:41
  they've been doing ever since.
• 35:43
  Right.
• 35:47
  Um.
• 35:49
  It's super expensive, too,
• 35:51
  because I asked Katie from
• 35:53
  Rogue at one point why it's
• 35:54
  on their website,
• 35:55
  and she says it's just too expensive.
• 35:59
  So Ben says, move it back to Madison.
• 36:04
  I did talk to Heather Lawrence today.
• 36:07
  And she wanted to ask me if
• 36:09
  I noticed how soon they got
• 36:10
  the open dates out.
• 36:12
  And I said, I did.
• 36:13
  We've said,
• 36:13
  talked about it on this show
• 36:15
  several times,
• 36:16
  how it's the earliest we've
• 36:17
  ever known those dates and
• 36:21
  that you guys have been
• 36:22
  stepping up with all that.
• 36:24
  And she did tell me they are very, very,
• 36:26
  very close to locking in
• 36:28
  the venue for next year.
• 36:30
  So they do have, that was,
• 36:32
  that's what we were saying.
• 36:33
  They must have a spot.
• 36:34
  Like,
• 36:35
  on the docket or you
• 36:36
  wouldn't say we're not
• 36:37
  going back to Albany.
• 36:40
  Yeah.
• 36:42
  So.
• 36:45
  I saw a comment, no ring muscle-ups.
• 36:47
  I agree.
• 36:48
  I feel like maybe that's a
• 36:49
  little bit what was lacking.
• 36:51
  I was surprised not to see
• 36:52
  ring muscle-ups.
• 36:56
  Prescott says, Carolyn,
• 36:58
  you did great at the CrossFit Games.
• 36:59
  I'm proud of you.
• 37:00
  Thank you.
• 37:11
  Do I think the CrossFit
• 37:12
  Games should be in Atlanta?
• 37:15
  I just want it to be in a
• 37:16
  place where if you're going
• 37:18
  to be all in inside,
• 37:20
  it's all in the same
• 37:20
  building and not a walk to
• 37:23
  whatever accessory stuff there is.
• 37:27
  Or go to a place like Madison,
• 37:30
  like a fairground or something like that,
• 37:32
  where you have a building
• 37:33
  for the inside and a venue
• 37:36
  on the outside to do fun stuff.
• 37:41
  either way I don't really
• 37:43
  care where in the country
• 37:44
  that is I just want it to
• 37:47
  be I want it to be the
• 37:49
  right fit for the
• 37:50
  spectators and the athletes
• 37:58
  um I know I don't want to
• 38:01
  go too long tonight because
• 38:02
  I do have to finish up
• 38:03
  patty's documentary but I
• 38:05
  did have some notes I wanted to take
• 38:08
  We had teams tied going into
• 38:10
  the final event.
• 38:13
  What a freaking race.
• 38:14
  And two legendary affiliates
• 38:18
  with CrossFit Oslo and
• 38:21
  CrossFit Mayhem going
• 38:22
  head-to-head in a rope
• 38:24
  climb workout to finish the
• 38:26
  CrossFit Games, and Mayhem lost.
• 38:29
  With a worm as well.
• 38:32
  Yeah.
• 38:33
  Mayhem had not lost a rope
• 38:35
  climb workout at the games
• 38:37
  since twenty seventeen.
• 38:39
  Wow.
• 38:40
  And this is the first European like a win.
• 38:44
  Right.
• 38:45
  For teams.
• 38:46
  It is.
• 38:47
  Yeah, I was super happy for that team.
• 38:49
  Don't say it again, Jamie.
• 38:50
  We don't need the bad comments.
• 38:52
  Tola finally getting a win.
• 38:54
  Kristen Holta getting, you know,
• 38:56
  a gold medal after, you know,
• 38:57
  an impressive career for
• 38:58
  her to come back last
• 39:00
  minute with that team.
• 39:01
  Yeah,
• 39:01
  I was really happy for that team to
• 39:02
  get on top.
• 39:04
  I was rooting for them.
• 39:05
  And third, Camel City.
• 39:08
  Yeah,
• 39:08
  I chatted with some of those girls
• 39:10
  I'm competing against soon
• 39:12
  at the Masters.
• 39:12
  So I was looking at them.
• 39:13
  I was like, okay,
• 39:14
  they're going to be tired too.
• 39:15
  Yeah.
• 39:17
  Yeah, and they're probably your top.
• 39:20
  Competition at the masters in Columbus.
• 39:23
  Certainly.
• 39:23
  Yeah.
• 39:26
  I think there's like six or
• 39:28
  seven from the thirty five
• 39:29
  to thirty nine females.
• 39:30
  Christine Best, Christine Middleton,
• 39:35
  Stevie, Caroline Klotz, me.
• 39:39
  I'm forgetting a couple of people, maybe.
• 39:42
  I think that's it.
• 39:43
  I think Brown is the six.
• 39:44
  There are six people at the
• 39:46
  games competing in Masters.
• 39:47
  OK, Brown is not competing at the Masters.
• 39:50
  Well,
• 39:51
  who's who is the there was one male
• 39:53
  that I swear they said.
• 39:54
  They said it on the broadcast,
• 39:56
  but I talked to Braun.
• 39:57
  He's not competing at the Masters.
• 39:59
  He didn't do the semis.
• 40:01
  He didn't.
• 40:09
  There were loud,
• 40:10
  loud cheers whenever Tia or
• 40:13
  Brooke was up and whenever
• 40:15
  Hopper or Roman came out,
• 40:17
  which was surprising to me.
• 40:20
  I didn't think Hopper would
• 40:21
  be this popular that fast.
• 40:24
  But his social media
• 40:26
  campaign this year has worked.
• 40:28
  He did really well with social media.
• 40:31
  I mean, he did really well all weekend.
• 40:32
  He was super impressive.
• 40:35
  He pushed the ticket sales
• 40:36
  too with his little sign,
• 40:38
  come to my CrossFit competition.
• 40:44
  And Roman looked like a
• 40:44
  little kid every time he
• 40:45
  got to run out of the tunnel.
• 40:48
  It was the most...
• 40:52
  enchanting version of Roman
• 40:53
  I've ever seen.
• 40:54
  That's good.
• 40:57
  And you probably didn't get
• 40:58
  to see that on the broadcast.
• 40:59
  Nope.
• 41:05
  Jules B.,
• 41:06
  Carolina watched you at last
• 41:07
  year's Syndicate Crown and
• 41:08
  was so impressed then to
• 41:09
  watch you at the games this
• 41:10
  year filled me with joy.
• 41:14
  Thank you.
• 41:14
  Didn't have a great
• 41:15
  Syndicate Crown last year.
• 41:18
  And a couple people...
• 41:20
  said boys interrupted really
• 41:21
  launched those guys they
• 41:24
  really yeah and it did I
• 41:25
  yeah for sure you got to
• 41:28
  see their personalities
• 41:29
  their banter um yeah and
• 41:32
  just follow their
• 41:33
  relationship over the year
• 41:34
  it was yeah it was really
• 41:36
  good justin did really
• 41:37
  great too he did he had a
• 41:41
  good yeah and we
• 41:43
  We covered that Colton won
• 41:44
  the Spirit of the Games,
• 41:46
  Tudor won Most Improved,
• 41:48
  and the Rookie of the Year
• 41:49
  was Miriam Von Roar.
• 41:52
  I thought Most Improved was
• 41:53
  going to go to Lucy Campbell,
• 41:55
  but I think because she was on the podium,
• 41:56
  maybe they wanted to give
• 41:57
  it to someone else.
• 41:58
  Because I thought Lucy going
• 42:00
  from not competing for two
• 42:02
  years in sixth to second,
• 42:04
  like that step that she
• 42:05
  made there was significant.
• 42:08
  But Tudor went from getting
• 42:10
  into a fight with his coach
• 42:11
  backstage to getting to top ten.
• 42:14
  Yeah.
• 42:16
  Yeah, he had a great weekend.
• 42:18
  He really did.
• 42:22
  And I thought Spirit was
• 42:23
  going to go to like Fee or
• 42:24
  Lydia or someone.
• 42:26
  It probably should have gone to Lydia.
• 42:27
  Yeah.
• 42:29
  Yeah, Lydia.
• 42:29
  I was thinking someone like
• 42:30
  Lydia or something.
• 42:32
  Dude, she had the fish head.
• 42:34
  She had the crowds going wild.
• 42:35
  She's smiling all the time.
• 42:37
  To me, Spirit is also smiling,
• 42:39
  kind of interacting a little bit.
• 42:41
  She hasn't been around long
• 42:43
  enough to impact the
• 42:45
  community in the right way.
• 42:48
  But when I think of Spirit of the Games,
• 42:50
  I don't think of Colton necessarily.
• 42:51
  I don't know.
• 42:53
  In that, like, I love Colton.
• 42:54
  I'm a fan of his.
• 42:56
  He is the hardest worker out there.
• 42:59
  He's, you know,
• 43:00
  he's really up to social media stuff.
• 43:02
  Like,
• 43:02
  I don't necessarily think of him as
• 43:04
  Spirit of the Games when I
• 43:05
  think about that.
• 43:07
  When I think about the
• 43:07
  athletes that have had it
• 43:08
  in the past and just the
• 43:10
  type of personalities that they have,
• 43:11
  like the smiles,
• 43:12
  the shaking everyone's
• 43:13
  hands and stuff like that, like...
• 43:16
  Colton's like a machine when
• 43:18
  he's on the floor.
• 43:19
  He's serious.
• 43:24
  It's not that type of
• 43:25
  personality that you
• 43:26
  typically see for the
• 43:27
  spirit of the games.
• 43:29
  Here comes my riff because
• 43:31
  you guys keep pushing.
• 43:32
  I said I didn't want to talk
• 43:33
  about this because they don't define it.
• 43:35
  They do not define what this is.
• 43:36
  It's impossible to pick it.
• 43:38
  Roman won it because he hurt
• 43:40
  his ankle and had to jump on one leg,
• 43:42
  which all the Masters
• 43:44
  athletes pulled their
• 43:45
  calves and had to do the
• 43:46
  same thing that weekend.
• 43:48
  And the adaptive athletes do
• 43:49
  that every day.
• 43:50
  So I don't know how that
• 43:51
  wins you Spirit of the Games.
• 43:53
  However,
• 43:55
  what Colton has done to give people hope,
• 44:00
  coming and improving little
• 44:03
  bit by little bit each and every year,
• 44:06
  being smaller in stature,
• 44:08
  being an outlier with
• 44:10
  what's going on in the CrossFit space,
• 44:12
  and overcoming all of that
• 44:14
  is more spirit of the games
• 44:16
  than wearing a fish head.
• 44:20
  And I love Lydia Fish,
• 44:22
  and I think she's cute,
• 44:23
  and I hope she does well in the future,
• 44:25
  but she's young,
• 44:26
  and she has plenty of time
• 44:27
  to win other awards.
• 44:30
  When Roman won it,
• 44:31
  I thought Fi should have
• 44:32
  won it that year.
• 44:35
  So I will always be a
• 44:36
  proponent for Fi to win the award.
• 44:39
  I think she has done a lot
• 44:40
  for the community.
• 44:41
  She's always out there talking to people.
• 44:43
  She's always out there
• 44:45
  conveying what CrossFit can do for you.
• 44:47
  And I think that is more
• 44:48
  Spirit of the Games than anything else.
• 44:51
  But just because you wear a
• 44:52
  fish head should not get
• 44:53
  you Spirit of the Games.
• 44:55
  It's got to be that you're
• 44:56
  an inspiration or you're
• 44:57
  overcoming something or
• 44:59
  that you are spreading the
• 45:01
  gospel of CrossFit.
• 45:06
  That's my riff.
• 45:09
  Yeah,
• 45:09
  I guess I don't know if Spirit is
• 45:11
  just at the games that
• 45:13
  weekend or it's taken into
• 45:14
  consideration things
• 45:16
  outside of the games.
• 45:17
  It's not really clear what that is.
• 45:21
  But I do agree with what
• 45:21
  you're saying in terms of
• 45:24
  Colton and stuff like that.
• 45:25
  Yeah.
• 45:26
  So back in the early days,
• 45:28
  it was like your career, right?
• 45:30
  Most of the people that won
• 45:32
  Spirit of the Games were
• 45:35
  Cole Sager and Becca Voigt.
• 45:38
  And it was towards the end
• 45:39
  of their career.
• 45:40
  And it was like,
• 45:42
  you've done all of this
• 45:43
  along the way to spread the
• 45:46
  good news of CrossFit.
• 45:48
  I think when we got to the twenties,
• 45:50
  we lost its way.
• 45:52
  And now it doesn't have the
• 45:53
  meaning it used to.
• 45:58
  which is sad because part of
• 46:00
  the part of the piece that
• 46:02
  helps the sport grow is
• 46:05
  pushing the methodology and
• 46:06
  helping everyday average
• 46:08
  Joes get into the gym and
• 46:10
  save their lives.
• 46:13
  And I think that's what the
• 46:14
  early representation of that was.
• 46:16
  And now it's just I don't
• 46:19
  even know what I if they
• 46:21
  cannot explain it to me.
• 46:22
  And that's what's hard.
• 46:26
  That trophy was really cool, though,
• 46:28
  that he got.
• 46:29
  Yes.
• 46:30
  I thought so, too.
• 46:32
  Should the fans choose the
• 46:33
  spirit of the games?
• 46:34
  I actually think now that
• 46:36
  would be the way to get the
• 46:38
  true spirit of the games.
• 46:39
  But then it's just a popularity contest.
• 46:46
  Possibly.
• 46:46
  I don't know.
• 46:51
  I guess I don't know how the
• 46:52
  community would vote in that way.
• 47:03
  So anyway, that's my riff on that.
• 47:09
  I did talk to Saxon Pancheck.
• 47:13
  We had a very nice long conversation.
• 47:16
  I said that that was one of
• 47:17
  my goals coming into this
• 47:18
  weekend was to find him and have a talk.
• 47:23
  And I literally said to him, dude,
• 47:24
  it's been a minute.
• 47:25
  We need to have a talk.
• 47:27
  He goes, I know, I know.
• 47:28
  I said, it doesn't have to be on air today,
• 47:30
  but
• 47:31
  And it was a great talk.
• 47:32
  It was a great talk.
• 47:34
  And I'm just glad he's back.
• 47:36
  And he loves CrossFit.
• 47:40
  He's always loved CrossFit.
• 47:42
  And his heart was with CrossFit.
• 47:45
  And that's pretty much the
• 47:47
  summation of what we talked about.
• 47:50
  And maybe the other
• 47:53
  organization didn't
• 47:54
  appreciate his love for CrossFit.
• 47:56
  Well, if they're trying to be something...
• 48:01
  CrossFit adjacent that makes
• 48:03
  sense yeah there's
• 48:06
  definitely more to the
• 48:06
  story and he did say he
• 48:08
  would be willing to come on
• 48:09
  the show um we had a great
• 48:12
  talk and uh hopefully he'll
• 48:14
  come on and explain
• 48:16
  everything but I would just
• 48:18
  say his his main goal
• 48:21
  through this whole thing
• 48:22
  was to get athletes back in the gym
• 48:26
  and we talked about when he
• 48:28
  used to come to my old gym
• 48:29
  how the whole gym would
• 48:30
  light up when the pancheck
• 48:31
  brothers came and got to
• 48:33
  work out with them and what
• 48:34
  that meant to that
• 48:35
  community and that's what
• 48:37
  he's trying to like push
• 48:39
  back into what wherever
• 48:41
  that may be and it looks
• 48:43
  like it's going to be back
• 48:44
  here with crossfit so um
• 48:50
  that was a great talk so we
• 48:53
  can finish up with the winners
• 48:57
  Surprise, surprise,
• 48:58
  Tia won the women's title.
• 49:01
  Lucy Campbell really was a
• 49:03
  surprise to everybody but
• 49:05
  me that she came in second.
• 49:08
  And Olivia Kerstetter, I think,
• 49:11
  was a big surprise to
• 49:12
  everybody that she took third.
• 49:14
  Yes.
• 49:15
  Yeah, for sure.
• 49:16
  That final event,
• 49:18
  she looked incredible on.
• 49:21
  Yeah.
• 49:23
  She won the lunging workout, if I remember,
• 49:26
  in...
• 49:28
  When I was there that had an echo bike,
• 49:32
  I think thrusters again and lunging.
• 49:35
  So yes, she, when she gets one in,
• 49:39
  in her wheelhouse, she crushes it.
• 49:41
  She crushed that one.
• 49:43
  Um, yeah, she,
• 49:45
  she looked really good on
• 49:45
  the rope climbs.
• 49:47
  Very good on rope climbs.
• 49:48
  You would,
• 49:49
  you wouldn't think she'd be that
• 49:50
  great at dense side of the
• 49:52
  rope climbs and she, man,
• 49:54
  she held her own.
• 49:55
  Yeah.
• 49:57
  Yeah,
• 50:00
  she was calm and cool in the warm-up
• 50:01
  area all weekend.
• 50:03
  Lucy, same thing.
• 50:06
  I think that is a testament
• 50:10
  to why they did so well.
• 50:12
  Yeah.
• 50:13
  Lucy was so good all weekend.
• 50:15
  Even in the handstand
• 50:16
  push-up where she struggled a bit,
• 50:18
  how she was so good on the
• 50:22
  bike and on the machines
• 50:23
  just to even recover there.
• 50:25
  She was very consistent all
• 50:26
  weekend and a step above
• 50:29
  the rest of the field, I found.
• 50:33
  Fergie's asking if I'm
• 50:34
  drinking coffee at nine p.m.
• 50:35
  I am.
• 50:38
  I still have to finish a
• 50:39
  documentary before people go home.
• 50:44
  So that's why I need to wrap
• 50:45
  up by at least nine o'clock tonight.
• 50:47
  Okay.
• 50:47
  We got nine minutes.
• 50:49
  Let's go.
• 50:49
  I have an early flight
• 50:50
  tomorrow to pack for.
• 50:55
  On the men's side, we talked about it.
• 50:57
  Jason Hopper wins his first ever title.
• 51:01
  Second place was Ricky
• 51:03
  Garrard by one point over James Sprigg.
• 51:08
  And that one point was because...
• 51:13
  uh justin madaris leapt to
• 51:15
  the finish mat ahead of
• 51:18
  james sprague and that one
• 51:20
  point made the difference
• 51:21
  between second and third
• 51:22
  yep sorry I don't know what
• 51:25
  I clicked there and I got
• 51:27
  out of the screen I I think
• 51:30
  james was just angry with
• 51:32
  himself I mean when you're
• 51:37
  that close you have it he
• 51:38
  just needed to pick up that bar
• 51:41
  one second earlier than he did,
• 51:43
  or he sort of like stumbled
• 51:44
  over that bar to step into
• 51:47
  like anything about that.
• 51:48
  He just was not a cleanest
• 51:50
  execution finish for him.
• 51:52
  And you know,
• 51:53
  that's what he's working on
• 51:54
  is having clean executions.
• 51:56
  That's.
• 52:00
  And like Carolyn said earlier,
• 52:03
  Justin is not going to mess that up.
• 52:06
  That is his jam.
• 52:07
  Yeah.
• 52:08
  And James should have known that going in.
• 52:11
  Yeah,
• 52:11
  I called Justin winning that workout
• 52:13
  prior to it.
• 52:14
  So I was like... I agree
• 52:18
  with Michael Pace.
• 52:21
  Michael Pace break silenced
• 52:22
  a lot of doubters this weekend.
• 52:23
  Agreed.
• 52:24
  He did.
• 52:26
  And he is like... Of all the
• 52:31
  people in the warm-up area,
• 52:32
  he is so friendly to everybody.
• 52:35
  Like everybody.
• 52:37
  He does not pick who he's not, who he is,
• 52:40
  whatever.
• 52:44
  He gives a lot of the women
• 52:45
  advice on what he saw out there.
• 52:49
  And he's just a good, good kid.
• 52:53
  I got to see his dad today.
• 52:55
  His dad was in such a good
• 52:56
  mood and excited to see us
• 52:59
  in three weeks because
• 53:01
  he'll be competing at the
• 53:02
  Masters CrossFit Games.
• 53:03
  Oh, is he?
• 53:05
  I didn't know that he was.
• 53:07
  He is in the sixty to sixty
• 53:09
  four year old division.
• 53:18
  I know there was some
• 53:20
  controversy about his knee sleeves,
• 53:22
  but I thought, honestly,
• 53:24
  this was like a really cool
• 53:25
  games this year.
• 53:26
  I thought it was a fun vibe.
• 53:28
  I thought it's what the community needed.
• 53:31
  I think it helped reset
• 53:33
  everything so that we can move forward.
• 53:36
  Now, hopefully,
• 53:37
  the sale doesn't jack that up.
• 53:43
  Hopefully,
• 53:44
  we can continue this momentum
• 53:45
  into next season.
• 53:51
  You got to read this one.
• 53:52
  I just realized Boys
• 53:53
  Interrupted is going to
• 53:54
  have three champs now.
• 53:55
  plus Dallin.
• 53:56
  Yeah.
• 53:59
  Well,
• 53:59
  Dallin keeps calling himself a champ
• 54:01
  because he won three of them as a team,
• 54:04
  but I don't think they count the same.
• 54:07
  They don't count the same.
• 54:08
  It's his turn next year.
• 54:10
  What place did Dallin finish?
• 54:14
  Fourth.
• 54:15
  Fourth.
• 54:15
  Yeah.
• 54:18
  It's his turn next year.
• 54:19
  This is going to propel him forward.
• 54:23
  Boys Interrupted finished first, third,
• 54:26
  fourth, and seventh.
• 54:31
  No, eighth, I thought, for Justin.
• 54:34
  I'm looking at the leaderboard right now.
• 54:35
  Seventh?
• 54:36
  Right behind Jay?
• 54:39
  Yep.
• 54:39
  Austin, fifth.
• 54:40
  Jay, sixth.
• 54:41
  Justin, seventh.
• 54:42
  Jeffrey Adler, eighth.
• 54:44
  Well, that's what I was thinking,
• 54:45
  like Jeff.
• 54:47
  Yeah, Jeff did not look happy at all.
• 54:49
  You can say other people were upset.
• 54:51
  Jeff did not look happy at
• 54:52
  all this weekend.
• 54:55
  Yeah,
• 54:55
  I don't know what was going on with Jeff.
• 54:58
  The Ricky thing was weird.
• 54:59
  It did seem like he was mad at the end,
• 55:02
  and I don't know what he
• 55:03
  could have been mad about
• 55:04
  because there was zero
• 55:06
  chance he was going to get first.
• 55:08
  Zero chance.
• 55:09
  I mean –
• 55:14
  Jason beat him.
• 55:15
  Like,
• 55:15
  I don't really understand what you
• 55:16
  could have.
• 55:17
  The fact that you held on to second,
• 55:18
  you should have been,
• 55:20
  maybe he was relieved and
• 55:22
  we read his face wrong.
• 55:24
  I don't know.
• 55:24
  I didn't understand his
• 55:25
  stand while it was going on there.
• 55:31
  Yeah.
• 55:31
  I, I didn't really see any of that.
• 55:34
  So I can't comment.
• 55:35
  I was walking back to get my stuff.
• 55:37
  Complaining.
• 55:38
  He was complaining about the pegboard.
• 55:40
  So what, what is he saying?
• 55:41
  Had he been in a different lane,
• 55:42
  he would have won.
• 55:47
  That's, I don't know.
• 55:52
  He had a lot worse events.
• 55:53
  I mean, he had a lot of not great events.
• 55:56
  Well, his squat wasn't great, right?
• 55:58
  I mean, neither was James's.
• 55:59
  So, like, again, like, there's just,
• 56:01
  that's just not the way to
• 56:04
  think about things.
• 56:06
  I have two Carolines in my green room.
• 56:11
  Because I had a phone call, so I think it,
• 56:14
  like, ruined the whole,
• 56:15
  I couldn't hear anything.
• 56:25
  Yeah, I hate when people, I don't know.
• 56:29
  I get it.
• 56:30
  It's fine.
• 56:30
  You can be, I mean, I'm sure I would have,
• 56:32
  like, if I had been him,
• 56:34
  I would probably be
• 56:35
  complaining about it too.
• 56:36
  So, like, I get the frustration.
• 56:41
  You're also taking away from
• 56:42
  other people's
• 56:44
  accomplishments when you do that.
• 56:48
  Yeah.
• 56:49
  Yeah,
• 56:49
  he turned it around and said he'll
• 56:50
  just focus on the positive or whatever.
• 56:52
  Yeah.
• 56:54
  Yeah,
• 56:54
  but to carry the pegboard to the end
• 56:56
  of the event,
• 56:58
  you should have let that go.
• 57:01
  Yep.
• 57:03
  Domet was screwed on the peg.
• 57:04
  Domet had a rough weekend.
• 57:07
  She threw up all over the
• 57:09
  floor right before an event.
• 57:14
  Oh, I didn't know that.
• 57:16
  Yeah, it was rough.
• 57:18
  What event was that?
• 57:22
  The one with the runners?
• 57:25
  The deadlift handstand?
• 57:28
  Yeah.
• 57:29
  Before the event even started.
• 57:32
  She didn't even get out on
• 57:34
  the... She was standing in
• 57:34
  her lane and just... There it went.
• 57:36
  That's not good.
• 57:40
  And that's the same one
• 57:40
  Hattie was medically
• 57:41
  removed at the end because
• 57:43
  of her stomach.
• 57:45
  So there was a bug going around?
• 57:47
  Apparently.
• 57:48
  That's not good.
• 57:51
  Not the same as mine on my body.
• 57:59
  Lynn, emotions were just high.
• 58:00
  I can understand him just
• 58:01
  thinking if only and sadly
• 58:03
  saying it out loud.
• 58:04
  Yeah, I get it.
• 58:08
  Are we talking about Ricky's interview?
• 58:13
  I heard it briefly,
• 58:14
  but I didn't really hear
• 58:16
  his full interview.
• 58:19
  Yeah, he seemed upset about that.
• 58:27
  Alexis Raptus did great with
• 58:29
  what she had going on as well.
• 58:30
  Yeah, I heard it was a full ruptured back.
• 58:34
  Yeah.
• 58:36
  Ruptured disc.
• 58:41
  Yeah, disc.
• 58:43
  Yeah.
• 58:43
  I had a little bit of a bug
• 58:44
  this weekend too.
• 58:46
  Travel's just rough on bodies, man.
• 58:51
  Yeah, you always,
• 58:52
  you always get a few people
• 58:53
  whenever there's
• 58:54
  competition that there's
• 58:55
  always like sickness from traveling.
• 58:59
  There's always at least one
• 59:00
  or two competitors that are feeling down.
• 59:08
  Um, Hey,
• 59:10
  a man actually shows his emotion
• 59:12
  for once and y'all still ain't happy.
• 59:14
  I said, I get it.
• 59:16
  It is what it is.
• 59:18
  I totally understand what he was feeling.
• 59:22
  It's Hotel Ice Machines.
• 59:26
  I didn't go to the Hotel Ice Machine.
• 59:28
  All right, guys.
• 59:32
  We're not being booted.
• 59:35
  Well, we're not being booted,
• 59:36
  but I need to go get my
• 59:38
  ending to this documentary.
• 59:40
  And so I'm meeting with
• 59:41
  Tristan here in a couple minutes,
• 59:43
  and then hopefully Hattie,
• 59:45
  and then I can just leave
• 59:46
  tomorrow morning.
• 59:47
  Um, but I hope you guys like that.
• 59:49
  It's going to be coming out
• 59:51
  in the next few weeks.
• 59:52
  Hopefully I can get it out
• 59:53
  before master so that I can
• 59:54
  clear the deck and start a
• 59:57
  new with the masters
• 59:58
  CrossFit games with that guys.
• 1:00:01
  Thank you everybody for the support.
• 1:00:04
  So many people came up and
• 1:00:05
  said hi to me this weekend.
• 1:00:07
  Um,
• 1:00:08
  Loved meeting each and every one of you.
• 1:00:10
  That was awesome.
• 1:00:11
  And a huge shout-out to two
• 1:00:13
  people in the media room
• 1:00:14
  who every year always are
• 1:00:16
  fun to hang out with and
• 1:00:17
  make the long days okay,
• 1:00:19
  and that's Amanda Hari and CTP.
• 1:00:22
  Those two are the best,
• 1:00:24
  and they make everything really fun.
• 1:00:27
  So with that, guys,
• 1:00:29
  we will check out of the hotel,
• 1:00:31
  and we will see you maybe
• 1:00:33
  for lunch with the Clydesdale tomorrow.
• 1:00:34
  I don't know where I'll be on the road,
• 1:00:36
  so maybe tomorrow,
• 1:00:37
  but definitely back on Tuesday.
• 1:00:39
  With that, guys, see you then later.
