  What is going on everybody?
• 0:30
  Welcome to Sunday, Sunday,
• 0:32
  Sunday night CrossFit Talk.
• 0:35
  I got new earbuds today
• 0:37
  because I'm at my mom's and
• 0:38
  I wanted to make sure at
• 0:39
  least I sounded somewhat
• 0:41
  decent because I knew I
• 0:41
  would look awful in the lighting here.
• 0:45
  This thing has some banging
• 0:47
  bass and our theme song
• 0:49
  rocks with like good bass.
• 0:53
  Oh my gosh, it is so good.
• 0:55
  I almost want to play it again,
• 0:56
  but I won't.
• 0:56
  I won't.
• 0:59
  So what's going on, everybody?

  That's it.
• 1:09
  But yeah, we're here on Sunday night.
• 1:13
  It's been a crazy,
• 1:14
  crazy weekend of activity,
• 1:16
  trying to keep up with everything.
• 1:19
  Everybody's asking where I'm at.
• 1:21
  Where I'm at is at my mom's house.
• 1:24
  We had a death in the family
• 1:27
  late last week.
• 1:28
  And we're here for a funeral
• 1:30
  tomorrow morning.
• 1:32
  It's my wife's cousin.
• 1:34
  But my wife's parents and my
• 1:36
  parents live about thirty
• 1:38
  minutes apart and the
• 1:39
  funeral is in the middle of the two.
• 1:41
  So I took the opportunity to
• 1:42
  hang out with my mom for
• 1:43
  the day because really
• 1:45
  nothing's going on today
• 1:47
  with the funeral.
• 1:47
  We're just going to that
• 1:49
  tomorrow morning at ten thirty a.m.
• 1:52
  So there will not be a lunch
• 1:53
  with the Clydesdale
• 1:54
  tomorrow as I will be at a
• 1:56
  funeral for that.
• 1:59
  But other than that,
• 2:02
  how is your guys' week?
• 2:03
  I know, Jamie,
• 2:03
  you had a major event this weekend.
• 2:05
  It was a crazy weekend.
• 2:09
  My niece graduated on Wednesday night.
• 2:12
  I couldn't make it because I had to coach.
• 2:14
  Her open house was Friday night.
• 2:17
  So that was over in Grand Rapids.
• 2:19
  We stayed the night, Friday night.
• 2:20
  Got home Saturday afternoon.
• 2:23
  And then Lucas, his graduation was today.
• 2:27
  his open house isn't for a
• 2:28
  couple more weekends.
• 2:29
  So we've got a little reprieve there,
• 2:31
  but yeah, I had the graduation today.
• 2:32
  I, so it was really hard for me to watch.
• 2:36
  I was like,
• 2:37
  we got home at like seven and I
• 2:38
  was trying to watch the
• 2:39
  last two heats of bag nine,
• 2:42
  basically just watching the
• 2:44
  fourth heat of the men and
• 2:45
  women to try to see what
• 2:45
  the heck happened.
• 2:46
  So I'm like a little behind
• 2:48
  on what happened today.
• 2:49
  This morning I was able to
• 2:50
  catch up on like rebel and whatnot,
• 2:52
  but yeah,
• 2:53
  today was kind of a lost cause for me.
• 2:58
  Kenneth Lapp asks,
• 3:00
  wasn't Haley Rolfe at
• 3:01
  Syndicate your battle of the ages partner,
• 3:03
  Jamie?
• 3:03
  Nope.
• 3:04
  I was very, she,
• 3:06
  her coach couldn't make it.
• 3:07
  And I feel like she kind of
• 3:09
  wanted me there and I
• 3:10
  really wanted to be there,
• 3:11
  but it was Lucas's graduation weekend.
• 3:14
  So it sucked.
• 3:18
  Yeah,
• 3:18
  this is the season for Clydesdale not
• 3:20
  making it to events.
• 3:23
  There's just life events
• 3:24
  going on for everybody this year,
• 3:27
  but we're going to make up
• 3:28
  for it in the coming months
• 3:31
  and years and make sure we
• 3:32
  get to some stuff.
• 3:33
  Carolyn, I know you have a visitor in.
• 3:35
  Yeah, Lex is in town.
• 3:39
  We went to Cirque du Soleil yesterday.
• 3:43
  We went to the movies today,
• 3:45
  lots of shopping, lots of training.
• 3:47
  Yeah,
• 3:48
  and then we're heading back to
• 3:51
  California.
• 3:53
  She leaves Tuesday,
• 3:54
  I leave Wednesday for NorCal.
• 4:00
  Jeez.
• 4:01
  NorCal is going to be crazy.
• 4:02
  It is.
• 4:04
  I'm just curious how many
• 4:05
  people right now are just
• 4:06
  messaging NorCal like, hello.
• 4:12
  Well,
• 4:12
  if you would have been on air with us
• 4:14
  before we were on air,
• 4:16
  Jamie did a beautiful
• 4:17
  rendition of Lionel Richie's Hello.
• 4:21
  And that's what these people
• 4:22
  are probably doing to Blair.
• 4:24
  And I don't know.
• 4:25
  I can't remember what the
• 4:26
  other guy's name is.
• 4:29
  Ben.
• 4:29
  Ben and Blair.
• 4:32
  So, yeah.
• 4:34
  Let's go ahead and jump in.
• 4:35
  I don't know how long this
• 4:36
  is all going to take.
• 4:37
  I did want to, before we do that,
• 4:38
  real quick,
• 4:39
  because he is a loyal listener
• 4:41
  and he's here a lot.
• 4:42
  Larry Young had a birthday yesterday.
• 4:45
  So I wanted to wish him a happy birthday.
• 4:48
  And he just moved into a new house.
• 4:50
  And if you want to be jealous,
• 4:52
  look at the videos of his
• 4:54
  new garage gym at his new house.
• 4:57
  It is off the chain amazing.
• 5:01
  Okay.
• 5:03
  So but he's probably busy
• 5:06
  this weekend with all of that.
• 5:08
  But I did want to publicly
• 5:10
  wish him a happy birthday
• 5:11
  because he's generally here
• 5:12
  every Sunday night.
• 5:14
  So I wanted to do that.
• 5:17
  So let's dive into,
• 5:18
  we'll start with Syndicate Crown.
• 5:19
  We'll go around the world to
• 5:23
  all of the different events
• 5:24
  that happened this weekend.
• 5:26
  But we're going to start off
• 5:27
  with the Syndicate Crown.
• 5:30
  Off the top,
• 5:30
  the people that earned their
• 5:32
  tickets to the CrossFit
• 5:33
  Games were Ty Jenkins and
• 5:35
  Jack Rosema on the men's side.
• 5:37
  And on the women's side,
• 5:38
  Brooke Wells and Lexi Neely.
• 5:41
  Any opening comments about
• 5:43
  who won the events?
• 5:45
  Well, first and second place.
• 5:49
  I mean, Brooke wasn't a surprise.
• 5:51
  I had to, I had picked Ty.
• 5:53
  I don't remember if I picked
• 5:53
  Ty to win or take second,
• 5:55
  but I picked Ty to get his ticket.
• 5:59
  So not really a surprise on
• 6:01
  either of those two.
• 6:02
  I mean,
• 6:03
  all four of them were in the running.
• 6:06
  It just depended on the
• 6:07
  weekend and execution and
• 6:08
  stuff like that.
• 6:10
  I thought maybe Caroline
• 6:11
  Stanley was going to be one
• 6:12
  of those two spots on the female side,
• 6:14
  along with Brooke.
• 6:16
  But it ended up being Lexi Neely.
• 6:17
  But that's not a surprise, really.
• 6:18
  She's, you know, great at a lot of things.
• 6:24
  I do think a lot of people
• 6:25
  were counting her out.
• 6:26
  I was.
• 6:27
  I don't even think I had her
• 6:28
  in my top ten.
• 6:30
  I did.
• 6:31
  And I was really appalled
• 6:32
  that people were counting
• 6:33
  her out as I was watching
• 6:35
  other shows around the space.
• 6:37
  She was awesome this weekend.
• 6:39
  She did great.
• 6:40
  And the future is bright for
• 6:42
  CrossFit in the female division.
• 6:47
  I do want to say Brooke is a
• 6:50
  different athlete with a
• 6:51
  chip on her shoulder.
• 6:52
  I mean,
• 6:55
  she stayed in a qualifying spot the
• 6:57
  entire weekend.
• 6:58
  Never came out of that
• 7:00
  Second place,
• 7:01
  like went from second and
• 7:01
  then was first the entire weekend.
• 7:04
  She came into today with a
• 7:05
  forty eight point lead.
• 7:08
  And that was about as big as it ever got.
• 7:10
  And she really didn't have
• 7:12
  to do a lot today.
• 7:15
  She just had to, like, stay in her lane,
• 7:17
  stay controlled.
• 7:18
  And she was getting a ticket
• 7:20
  because all the other
• 7:21
  athletes were beating each
• 7:22
  other up on the leaderboard
• 7:24
  that they could never get
• 7:26
  enough points to catch her.
• 7:28
  Um, but she was,
• 7:31
  it is the best I've seen
• 7:33
  Brooke look at an event in
• 7:35
  a couple of years.
• 7:37
  Yeah.
• 7:38
  It's almost like people
• 7:39
  calling you out kind of
• 7:40
  changes you kind of like a Spencer there.
• 7:44
  Yeah.
• 7:45
  Yeah.
• 7:46
  Yeah.
• 7:48
  Well,
• 7:49
  you know I am close with the Panchecks,
• 7:50
  right?
• 7:51
  And I have battled with John
• 7:54
  Young about the Panchecks a
• 7:55
  lot over my years.
• 7:58
  And to watch Spencer win three in a row.
• 8:02
  Three in a row.
• 8:03
  Yeah.
• 8:04
  And do it in a way that...
• 8:07
  And to finish and get
• 8:09
  interviewed and not talk smack back.
• 8:14
  Yeah.
• 8:14
  The class.
• 8:15
  Yeah.
• 8:16
  The class.
• 8:18
  Um, that's why I love those guys.
• 8:21
  They are,
• 8:21
  they're the most giving people
• 8:23
  I've ever been around.
• 8:24
  Um,
• 8:25
  they would come to our gym in Columbus
• 8:27
  to do charity events all the time.
• 8:30
  Um, they're just amazing human beings.
• 8:33
  And even though he never
• 8:35
  really got back into
• 8:36
  contention for a game spot
• 8:38
  to win three in a row was a
• 8:40
  nice way to finish the weekend.
• 8:41
  It's incredible.
• 8:42
  He looked so good on all
• 8:44
  those three events.
• 8:45
  So smooth.
• 8:47
  Yeah.
• 8:54
  I guess also that this was
• 9:00
  Luke's last competition.
• 9:02
  I really wanted him to get his ticket.
• 9:04
  Is it?
• 9:05
  He's retiring?
• 9:06
  That's what he said.
• 9:08
  Well, he has a family, right?
• 9:12
  Does he have a kid or is he on the way?
• 9:15
  He has one and one.
• 9:16
  I think they're trying for more.
• 9:19
  Well,
• 9:19
  didn't they do the gender reveal in
• 9:20
  the French Throwdown?
• 9:22
  Or whatever, of the... Yeah.
• 9:26
  So that's of the second child?
• 9:28
  Yeah.
• 9:29
  She had the first baby last
• 9:30
  year while he was at the game.
• 9:31
  Like, around the games.
• 9:33
  Right.
• 9:34
  And maybe they are pregnant
• 9:35
  with a second child already.
• 9:37
  Yeah.
• 9:37
  I know they were trying.
• 9:38
  One on the way.
• 9:39
  Claire Cooper confirms it.
• 9:41
  Right.
• 9:41
  Yeah.
• 9:41
  Because they did that gender
• 9:42
  reveal when he was over
• 9:43
  there for that other event.
• 9:46
  But that's another guy that I have...
• 9:48
  Every time I've sat down and
• 9:50
  talked to has been just an
• 9:51
  amazing gentleman and just a good guy.
• 9:58
  Late for everything, but good guy.
• 10:02
  So, but yeah,
• 10:05
  it was a fun competition to watch.
• 10:07
  I think for me,
• 10:08
  not being an athlete and
• 10:09
  not really understanding
• 10:11
  programming like you two do,
• 10:13
  it was fun to watch for me,
• 10:15
  for the most part.
• 10:16
  I thought stories were told on the floor.
• 10:19
  I could follow the action.
• 10:22
  I thought...
• 10:23
  Some stuff like the cut rope
• 10:26
  really destroyed some people.
• 10:28
  Yep.
• 10:28
  And it's something we
• 10:29
  haven't seen in a handful of years.
• 10:32
  I think the tall box jumps,
• 10:35
  only one man really knew how to do them,
• 10:38
  and everybody else struggled.
• 10:43
  And Kenneth DeLapp,
• 10:44
  you asked about the finishes.
• 10:45
  Touching the chest piece
• 10:47
  made all the difference.
• 10:48
  That, if...
• 10:50
  Well,
• 10:51
  we'll get to the broadcast in a second.
• 10:52
  Yeah.
• 10:52
  I was going to say, live,
• 10:53
  it was probably excellent.
• 10:56
  Touching the chess piece
• 10:57
  meant you knew who finished first, second,
• 11:00
  third, fourth.
• 11:02
  Or if it was too close to call, you knew.
• 11:04
  Right.
• 11:04
  Because there was an action
• 11:05
  they had to take at the end of the race.
• 11:08
  And I really did enjoy that.
• 11:11
  Yep.
• 11:13
  Any comments from you, Carolyn,
• 11:14
  about the programming or
• 11:16
  anything like that?
• 11:17
  Well,
• 11:18
  I like the programming going into the
• 11:19
  weekend.
• 11:21
  didn't really watch much uh
• 11:23
  this weekend if I'm being
• 11:26
  honest on it I watched
• 11:27
  about five minutes of the
• 11:31
  echo bike one and then I
• 11:33
  didn't particularly like
• 11:34
  the broadcast when they
• 11:35
  were like talking badly
• 11:36
  about the athletes that I
• 11:37
  just turned it off and
• 11:38
  continued my training
• 11:38
  session but I was watching
• 11:42
  like the competition corner
• 11:43
  I know like I I could see
• 11:45
  all the highlight videos
• 11:46
  throughout the weekend so I
• 11:46
  was like in the know of
• 11:47
  like what was going on I
• 11:48
  didn't really get to watch
• 11:50
  much of many of the
• 11:51
  competitions this weekend.
• 11:52
  I just was busy too.
• 11:53
  Yeah.
• 11:54
  It's hard.
• 11:54
  There was a lot to try to
• 11:56
  watch for being a busy weekend.
• 11:58
  It just.
• 11:59
  Yeah.
• 11:59
  And Lex is in town too.
• 12:00
  And yeah, like I said, like I just,
• 12:02
  I watched five minutes of
• 12:03
  it and didn't particularly
• 12:05
  like some of the comments I was hearing.
• 12:08
  So yeah.
• 12:15
  If we were going to talk
• 12:16
  about the broadcasting,
• 12:19
  On the good side,
• 12:20
  I will say I think they got
• 12:21
  better as the weekend went on.
• 12:27
  Yeah, I don't know.
• 12:28
  I feel like there's a
• 12:29
  difference between
• 12:29
  podcasting and broadcasting,
• 12:31
  and I was just hoping that
• 12:32
  I could watch the event.
• 12:35
  The five minutes I did watch,
• 12:37
  I could hear Bill trying to
• 12:40
  reel it back in and get
• 12:41
  back to him wanting to do his job.
• 12:44
  Yeah.
• 12:46
  It just kept going back.
• 12:48
  Like the part that I watched
• 12:49
  was just bad-mouthing
• 12:51
  Brooke for like five minutes.
• 12:53
  And I just felt uncomfortable watching.
• 12:55
  And it just kept coming back
• 12:56
  to her chest from the semifinals.
• 12:58
  I'm like,
• 12:58
  this is not what I want to be watching.
• 13:00
  I want to just watch the
• 13:01
  event and have proper broadcast of,
• 13:06
  you know, what's going on.
• 13:07
  I don't know if it got better,
• 13:08
  like you said, like throughout.
• 13:09
  But I wanted to see it there.
• 13:12
  And it just didn't quite hit
• 13:15
  the spot for me.
• 13:15
  It wasn't for me.
• 13:18
  I felt like Spin tried to
• 13:20
  keep it on track too when he could.
• 13:22
  I don't think I had him on
• 13:24
  for the five minutes I watched.
• 13:26
  I'm not sure.
• 13:27
  He would try to talk about
• 13:28
  what was happening on the floor.
• 13:31
  He would try to bring up people's names,
• 13:33
  say the time,
• 13:34
  say what round they were on
• 13:37
  or who was leading on the floor.
• 13:41
  I saw some potential there.
• 13:45
  So
• 13:47
  And I see the comments
• 13:48
  already saying it was free.
• 13:51
  It was a little bit like when I watched it,
• 13:54
  like the, I don't know, maybe,
• 13:55
  maybe the internet
• 13:56
  connection was got better too, but it was,
• 13:58
  it was freezing a little bit for,
• 14:00
  is that beginning of the weekend?
• 14:01
  Just the one day?
• 14:03
  No, it really was primarily the first day.
• 14:07
  And then the very end of the day today,
• 14:10
  it got fuzzy again.
• 14:13
  So I think it's just
• 14:15
  bandwidth in the arena.
• 14:20
  I'm trying to say that
• 14:21
  because I do appreciate
• 14:22
  someone going in and doing
• 14:23
  that work for free and for
• 14:25
  us to get to watch it.
• 14:26
  Right.
• 14:27
  So I do want to say that.
• 14:29
  And, and like the,
• 14:31
  the look of it looked great.
• 14:32
  Having people in a space go
• 14:35
  and do that and to input
• 14:36
  their time and travel and
• 14:38
  like interviewing, like, I mean, there's,
• 14:40
  it just wasn't for me particularly, but,
• 14:43
  um,
• 14:44
  it's important to have
• 14:45
  people that are willing to
• 14:46
  step up in the space and do
• 14:48
  these things so that it's, you know,
• 14:50
  out there.
• 14:51
  So I thought there were
• 14:52
  times where they were very
• 14:54
  professional and doing a good job.
• 14:56
  I think there were other
• 14:57
  times where they let it go.
• 15:00
  Like there was no need to
• 15:03
  have Taylor talk about his
• 15:06
  interaction with Brooke so
• 15:09
  much at the end of day one.
• 15:12
  Was that in the post show?
• 15:13
  I feel like that was separate.
• 15:14
  It was trying to keep that separate.
• 15:16
  I get what you're saying.
• 15:18
  I thought Taylor was great on the floor.
• 15:21
  I thought he was good with
• 15:22
  the post interviews.
• 15:23
  I thought he really was.
• 15:26
  So I'll say,
• 15:27
  I think ninety percent of the
• 15:28
  time it was fair and it was really good.
• 15:31
  And there was ten percent of
• 15:32
  the time where I think that
• 15:34
  they at times crossed a
• 15:36
  line and made it like I'm
• 15:38
  at my mom's house.
• 15:39
  Right.
• 15:40
  There are things I feel very
• 15:41
  uncomfortable watching with
• 15:42
  my mom with me.
• 15:45
  And some of those were just too much.
• 15:48
  About ten percent of the time.
• 15:52
  But this is the other thing
• 15:53
  I'm going to say,
• 15:54
  and this is constructive criticism.
• 15:58
  I thought that Bill and John
• 16:00
  did a very good job.
• 16:01
  I thought Taylor's
• 16:02
  interviews were very good.
• 16:04
  I think that at times they
• 16:06
  focused on a certain group
• 16:08
  of athletes and other
• 16:12
  people were making moves
• 16:13
  that we could not see or hear.
• 16:17
  And that's the thing that frustrated me.
• 16:22
  And I'm just going to use
• 16:23
  Spencer as an example.
• 16:26
  They went into event four
• 16:28
  not thinking he had a shot.
• 16:31
  And he won that event.
• 16:32
  And you didn't even get a
• 16:34
  shot of him until the last
• 16:38
  minute of that event.
• 16:44
  there were other times where
• 16:45
  Ben Smith was passing
• 16:46
  people and we never saw it
• 16:48
  because they were stuck on Mason Griffith,
• 16:50
  which I don't even know why
• 16:54
  he wasn't even in the race.
• 16:56
  Um,
• 16:58
  But I want to give them a fair shake, too.
• 16:59
  They didn't have radios in
• 17:00
  their ears to be able to
• 17:02
  tell each other to move to
• 17:04
  the spot they needed to
• 17:05
  move to talk about those people.
• 17:09
  And I don't know what
• 17:09
  expense that is to that broadcast.
• 17:12
  I know as a viewer,
• 17:14
  I was frustrated because I
• 17:16
  couldn't see the race that
• 17:17
  I wanted to see or the
• 17:20
  people winning that were winning.
• 17:23
  I mean, I'm yelling,
• 17:24
  like... And to be fair, like,
• 17:26
  John's going,
• 17:27
  Spencer's over here killing it, blah,
• 17:30
  blah, blah, but he's not on the screen.
• 17:33
  And so I'm like, well, show me Spencer.
• 17:35
  Show me Spencer.
• 17:36
  I'm literally yelling at the screen.
• 17:38
  Yeah.
• 17:40
  Yep.
• 17:41
  I mean,
• 17:41
  Sarah says that's the same for
• 17:44
  every broadcast, though.
• 17:45
  That comment, like,
• 17:47
  and saying that about this upsets me.
• 17:49
  Like...
• 17:52
  This is all we've been doing
• 17:53
  is critiquing broadcast.
• 17:56
  If the Stevonverse is going
• 17:59
  to shit on Brian Friend for
• 18:01
  how he tries to do it and
• 18:03
  act like it's so easy,
• 18:05
  then do it better and shut us up.
• 18:11
  But I don't think they did.
• 18:12
  And that's frustrating.
• 18:13
  Like, we have been very clear.
• 18:15
  Stop doing these solo shots.
• 18:18
  Stop showing somebody crossing the finish.
• 18:21
  Let's see the race.
• 18:21
  Let's see the finish.
• 18:22
  And I feel like we missed
• 18:24
  quite a few finishes.
• 18:25
  We got too much one-on-one.
• 18:26
  And I don't know if it's, yeah,
• 18:28
  Caleb or Sousa just –
• 18:32
  Thinking, oh,
• 18:32
  there's our guy with the good body.
• 18:34
  Let's show them.
• 18:34
  Let's give the people what they want.
• 18:36
  Because in their podcast space,
• 18:40
  the people say that stuff.
• 18:42
  Let's see the good bodies.
• 18:43
  But we want to see...
• 18:46
  We want to see the floor.
• 18:47
  I want to see a side shot.
• 18:49
  Give me Caleb on one side,
• 18:51
  Susan on one side,
• 18:52
  so I can see lane one
• 18:53
  through five from one
• 18:54
  camera and lane six through
• 18:55
  ten from another camera.
• 18:57
  It was a small, intimate floor.
• 18:59
  It could have been done so well.
• 19:03
  I don't know that they did do it better.
• 19:07
  Just watching Rebel Renegade,
• 19:11
  The production there was incredible.
• 19:15
  The lane assignments, the clock,
• 19:18
  there was always an issue
• 19:20
  on this broadcast.
• 19:26
  And I know they acknowledge
• 19:27
  the clock issue, but like,
• 19:29
  don't shit on someone else
• 19:31
  until you do it better.
• 19:32
  Like be like, okay,
• 19:33
  ladies are a lot of things
• 19:34
  that we want to focus on
• 19:35
  and we want to do it better.
• 19:36
  And then maybe be like, okay,
• 19:38
  it was hard or yup.
• 19:41
  I get it.
• 19:41
  I get what is taking Brian a
• 19:43
  while to learn this space
• 19:45
  and figure it out.
• 19:50
  So CrossFat says,
• 19:52
  everything was about doing
• 19:53
  something differently and
• 19:54
  the bar being the same kind of stinks.
• 19:57
  I think it was a step above
• 19:58
  Brian because more cameras,
• 20:00
  but if you're looking
• 20:01
  through a viewfinder, you lose.
• 20:04
  I think that's a great point.
• 20:06
  I actually thought because
• 20:07
  they had behind the scenes access,
• 20:09
  we were going to get like
• 20:12
  UFC coverage where they go
• 20:15
  backstage and they talk to
• 20:16
  some of the athletes that
• 20:17
  are about to take the floor.
• 20:20
  And stuff like that.
• 20:22
  I just was left with it's
• 20:24
  the same formula that we've been getting.
• 20:30
  And to their detriment, Jamie's right,
• 20:34
  Rebel Renegades was the
• 20:36
  biggest surprise of the weekend.
• 20:38
  I don't know where they got
• 20:39
  that production crew.
• 20:41
  I don't know where they got those people.
• 20:43
  They knocked it out of the park.
• 20:45
  And I was not looking for that at all.
• 20:48
  Right.
• 20:51
  Was it that one or the Far
• 20:52
  East one that had the
• 20:56
  pacing on the row as well?
• 21:00
  That was Rebel Renegade.
• 21:03
  That was Rebel, yeah.
• 21:04
  That was cool.
• 21:05
  Like I said,
• 21:05
  I didn't watch many of any of them.
• 21:08
  I was busy.
• 21:10
  But yeah,
• 21:13
  the Rebel one looked like it had
• 21:15
  some really good stuff.
• 21:18
  Yeah.
• 21:18
  I was surprised at,
• 21:20
  and the thing with rebel is
• 21:21
  you don't know those athletes, right?
• 21:23
  Like a ton of us don't know
• 21:24
  those athletes.
• 21:25
  That's what I enjoyed about their, um,
• 21:28
  they would show the lane
• 21:29
  assignments for a while and talk.
• 21:31
  Then they would, as they were running out,
• 21:32
  show each picture of each person.
• 21:35
  So then with their name and then,
• 21:38
  and then they'd reshow the
• 21:39
  lane assignments.
• 21:40
  So you could like,
• 21:41
  get a feel and it was small
• 21:43
  right there was like third
• 21:43
  thirty men twenty women um
• 21:45
  so it's easier to start to
• 21:47
  learn people someone up
• 21:48
  here said um rebels
• 21:51
  production was good but
• 21:52
  their commentary wasn't as
• 21:53
  good like they're they
• 21:54
  didn't talk about the
• 21:54
  programming the athletes I
• 21:56
  I maybe agree with you
• 21:57
  there uh but but they did
• 22:00
  they brought facundo into
• 22:01
  the the was on there yeah
• 22:03
  set and they talked about
• 22:04
  the the programming I
• 22:06
  thought they did a great
• 22:07
  job I mean I'm I'm
• 22:11
  I'm not shitting on anybody
• 22:12
  because I really appreciate
• 22:14
  all the work that people put into this.
• 22:15
  Absolutely.
• 22:18
  This is just constructive.
• 22:20
  My biggest frustration since
• 22:21
  I've gotten into loving
• 22:23
  CrossFit is the cameras
• 22:25
  that they use and the
• 22:27
  camera angles that they use.
• 22:29
  And nothing was different this weekend.
• 22:31
  It was a lot of close-up shots, one shots,
• 22:35
  instead of backing up a
• 22:36
  little bit and getting two
• 22:38
  or three lanes at a time.
• 22:42
  When John and Bill are
• 22:43
  telling us what's going on,
• 22:45
  but we can't see it,
• 22:47
  I don't want a radio broadcast.
• 22:49
  I want a television broadcast.
• 22:53
  And today you could hear Bill yelling,
• 22:55
  Caleb, move to lane six.
• 22:58
  Caleb, move to lane six audibly out over.
• 23:02
  There's got to be a way to
• 23:03
  communicate that to them
• 23:04
  just to not – like you
• 23:07
  could see Bill trying to
• 23:09
  change the camera angles.
• 23:11
  Yeah.
• 23:13
  And he would even say,
• 23:14
  leave both of them in the shot,
• 23:16
  leave both of them in the shot.
• 23:18
  And he's yelling that from
• 23:19
  the broadcast booth to the floor.
• 23:23
  Um, well, it's not, it's not an easy job,
• 23:26
  right?
• 23:26
  And no, no, no.
• 23:28
  Like, like we're talking like it's an easy,
• 23:29
  like it's, you know,
• 23:30
  we have suggestions or whatnot,
• 23:32
  but it's a lot that needs to happen.
• 23:35
  You need the right connections,
• 23:36
  the right people that know the races,
• 23:38
  where to put the cameras.
• 23:39
  Like there's a lot that has to happen.
• 23:42
  Um,
• 23:43
  for it to, you know, go smoothly.
• 23:45
  Um, yeah, no, for, for me,
• 23:46
  I just wanted to get a professional, uh,
• 23:52
  or just like an unbiased, unbiased, maybe,
• 23:55
  uh,
• 23:55
  commentary on what the action is and
• 23:58
  then keep the other stuff
• 23:59
  for poster or post and pre show,
• 24:02
  which is just like separate from,
• 24:05
  you know, the main event.
• 24:07
  Yeah.
• 24:08
  I, so for me, like for me,
• 24:10
  I get people talking about
• 24:11
  the commentary and stuff and,
• 24:12
  and someone else earlier said,
• 24:14
  you can just mute it.
• 24:15
  And I, I do agree with that.
• 24:16
  And like,
• 24:17
  and I don't mind having to mute it.
• 24:18
  Like I basically had to mute sorry,
• 24:20
  slow down.
• 24:20
  It was like elevator music the whole time.
• 24:22
  It was struggle bus.
• 24:24
  And I would have been happy
• 24:26
  muting rebel renegade.
• 24:28
  I just want to see the floor.
• 24:30
  Like that is the only thing.
• 24:32
  And that's,
• 24:32
  I think Scott and I have every
• 24:34
  time we come on here after an event,
• 24:37
  pretty much our only
• 24:38
  critique is seeing the race on the floor.
• 24:42
  I don't care about the commentary.
• 24:46
  Honestly, I don't.
• 24:47
  I didn't mind it.
• 24:50
  I can see why people would mind it,
• 24:51
  but I just want to see the
• 24:53
  freaking floor.
• 24:54
  I want to see what's
• 24:54
  happening on the floor when
• 24:55
  I'm not there.
• 24:58
  That's my only complaint.
• 24:59
  Yeah.
• 24:59
  Yeah.
• 25:05
  And this is the ten percent
• 25:06
  I'm talking about.
• 25:07
  I was turned off by that.
• 25:09
  They said for five hundred
• 25:10
  dollars to put a camera on
• 25:11
  Brooke and then someone paid that money.
• 25:13
  So they did felt like a
• 25:15
  bunch of little boys going
• 25:16
  out to pull a girl's pigtail.
• 25:18
  That that's the ten percent
• 25:20
  I did not care for.
• 25:25
  So.
• 25:28
  It's it's a broadcast, not a podcast.
• 25:32
  And I think there's just a
• 25:33
  difference there.
• 25:35
  Yeah,
• 25:36
  it sounds like Scott and it sounds
• 25:39
  like the Panjaks gave him some feedback.
• 25:40
  I mean, that's the thing.
• 25:41
  I hope they're willing to
• 25:42
  listen and make some changes.
• 25:45
  That's all we can ask.
• 25:46
  Because you do have some
• 25:49
  very knowledgeable people
• 25:51
  that know a lot of athletes
• 25:53
  in the space and they could
• 25:55
  use their knowledge in a
• 25:57
  different way to make it just better.
• 26:00
  Yeah.
• 26:07
  And Matt's in the chat.
• 26:10
  I mean,
• 26:11
  I would talk to him about this privately.
• 26:13
  And again,
• 26:14
  I thought ninety percent of it was great.
• 26:17
  but my biggest beef with all
• 26:18
  of these is just getting a camera,
• 26:21
  getting it so I can see the finish,
• 26:24
  getting it so I can see the race.
• 26:26
  And,
• 26:26
  and I know that like Bill was trying
• 26:29
  by yelling,
• 26:29
  like where the cameras need to
• 26:31
  be and all that kind of stuff.
• 26:33
  It just,
• 26:33
  there were some frustrating
• 26:35
  moments this weekend as is
• 26:40
  that the rest of the stuff
• 26:42
  is just window dressing to me.
• 26:46
  If I can see the race,
• 26:48
  then that's the basic bare bones I want.
• 26:51
  All the rest of the stuff is
• 26:52
  window dressing I can take
• 26:53
  or leave or turn off the
• 26:55
  volume if I want to or not,
• 26:57
  if I don't want to or whatever.
• 26:59
  I did enjoy Taylor's interviews a lot.
• 27:01
  I thought some of the
• 27:02
  questions were very
• 27:02
  different than you normally
• 27:04
  get after a race.
• 27:06
  I thought he did awesome with that.
• 27:08
  Um, well,
• 27:09
  especially if he tested all the workouts,
• 27:11
  he would have like a,
• 27:11
  a unique perspective on the
• 27:16
  questions to ask maybe on how they get,
• 27:19
  like,
• 27:19
  I don't know what questions he asked,
• 27:20
  but like as an athlete,
• 27:21
  like probably knowing how it felt,
• 27:23
  like you would,
• 27:23
  you would know probably
• 27:24
  better questions to ask and
• 27:26
  different questions than regular, um,
• 27:29
  people that are interviewing.
• 27:30
  Right.
• 27:31
  And that's a great point you brought up,
• 27:33
  Carolyn,
• 27:33
  because there was a point where
• 27:36
  someone did something that
• 27:37
  he didn't think was possible.
• 27:39
  And he was like, I can't believe you did X,
• 27:41
  Y, Z. Because when testing this,
• 27:43
  I was like,
• 27:43
  I didn't think that was possible.
• 27:47
  And those moments were really,
• 27:49
  really good.
• 27:49
  The rope,
• 27:50
  the cut rope climb on finish or yeah.
• 27:53
  Finishing the overhead
• 27:54
  walking lunge in three.
• 27:55
  Yeah.
• 27:58
  Yep.
• 28:02
  I understand that you are
• 28:04
  not trying to fit in,
• 28:05
  like you want to do something different.
• 28:09
  To me,
• 28:10
  what is continually being done the
• 28:11
  same is these shots of a
• 28:15
  single person or a single finisher,
• 28:17
  and that's what I want you
• 28:18
  to do different.
• 28:19
  That's all I'm trying to say.
• 28:20
  Amen.
• 28:24
  Yes.
• 28:25
  We just want to see who wins
• 28:27
  and who comes in second.
• 28:29
  And so we can talk about it more.
• 28:35
  Everything else.
• 28:36
  And, and totally, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I,
• 28:37
  I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I,
• 28:40
  I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I,
• 28:41
  I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I,
• 28:43
  I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I,
• 28:44
  I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I,
• 28:45
  I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I,
• 28:48
  I, I, I, I,
• 28:52
  It's just one small tweak
• 28:53
  that I want to see.
• 28:54
  I want to see the race.
• 28:58
  So that's it.
• 29:01
  But again,
• 29:03
  ninety percent of the time I
• 29:04
  enjoyed the broadcast.
• 29:07
  And that's that's a pretty
• 29:08
  high rating for me.
• 29:10
  Usually I am very picky
• 29:13
  about different things.
• 29:14
  Ninety percent is pretty good for me.
• 29:18
  Ten percent.
• 29:19
  I didn't, I didn't care for, but that's,
• 29:22
  I think that's anybody.
• 29:26
  Yeah.
• 29:26
  I mean, it was,
• 29:27
  it's great that you have
• 29:28
  four events going on on the
• 29:29
  weekend and four of them,
• 29:31
  technically you could watch, you know,
• 29:33
  that there was actually a
• 29:34
  broadcast that was viewable
• 29:36
  because we've had years
• 29:38
  where you couldn't watch anything from,
• 29:40
  from different events.
• 29:41
  So that's a,
• 29:42
  that's a positive that we were
• 29:44
  able to see.
• 29:47
  Even though you had to wake
• 29:47
  up early for the Australia one.
• 29:50
  Ken says you guys make it sound so easy.
• 29:52
  Go ahead and give it a shot.
• 29:53
  We are not saying it's easy.
• 29:55
  We understand it's a hard thing.
• 29:57
  We understand they didn't
• 29:58
  have earpieces or ways to
• 30:00
  talk to the cameraman.
• 30:02
  We understand all that.
• 30:04
  That's just the one thing
• 30:06
  that I felt was missing
• 30:07
  this weekend is...
• 30:09
  A couple times the winner
• 30:10
  was not on camera.
• 30:12
  Or John and Bill were
• 30:13
  talking about this heated
• 30:15
  race that was happening and
• 30:17
  none of it was on screen.
• 30:20
  That's where all the other,
• 30:23
  like the people complaining
• 30:24
  about the sound and the audio,
• 30:25
  I didn't think there was a
• 30:26
  problem with that at all this weekend.
• 30:28
  I could take or leave any of that stuff.
• 30:31
  I know that they're busting
• 30:32
  their asses behind the
• 30:33
  scenes to get it the best they can.
• 30:36
  I thought that was
• 30:38
  minimal stuff most of the
• 30:40
  complaints I saw in there I
• 30:41
  was like come on guys like
• 30:43
  give me a break yeah um but
• 30:46
  yeah it was it's just I
• 30:49
  want to see the race that's
• 30:50
  all so just to kind of
• 30:53
  finish this up um carolyn
• 30:58
  You didn't watch much,
• 30:59
  but they put white tape on
• 31:01
  the GHD machine.
• 31:02
  I did see the pictures of it on Instagram.
• 31:04
  I was like, yes, thank you.
• 31:07
  They finally looked like a
• 31:09
  real GHD across the board.
• 31:14
  Was it easier to tell with
• 31:16
  that tape going across and
• 31:17
  not just like a lot?
• 31:18
  Because we've had it at
• 31:19
  regionals before where the
• 31:20
  line was just on the outside of the pad,
• 31:22
  but like having it actually go across.
• 31:26
  So this was the standard.
• 31:28
  Once you sat on the tape,
• 31:31
  the judge was not to see
• 31:32
  any tape when you came up and back.
• 31:35
  Okay.
• 31:37
  So if they saw the tape, that's a no rep.
• 31:42
  And I thought that was a
• 31:43
  really easy way to judge it.
• 31:46
  Was there a lot of people
• 31:47
  that had to adjust or once
• 31:48
  they actually sat?
• 31:50
  Parker got a couple when he sat down.
• 31:53
  I don't think there was very many.
• 31:54
  But what I will say that the
• 31:57
  form of the GHD was awesome
• 31:59
  across the board.
• 31:59
  Yes.
• 32:00
  It didn't look like my Instagram one.
• 32:03
  It did not.
• 32:05
  It did not.
• 32:06
  So whoever came up with that,
• 32:07
  JR or Rogue or whoever.
• 32:11
  Yeah, good call.
• 32:13
  us kudos.
• 32:14
  That made the GHD a GHD.
• 32:17
  And it's visual too, right?
• 32:18
  You see the white tape as
• 32:20
  soon as they move up or whatnot.
• 32:21
  It's good.
• 32:31
  And if Matt's just here,
• 32:32
  what I started with is you
• 32:34
  guys did improve a ton from
• 32:36
  start of day one to the end of day three.
• 32:39
  Like,
• 32:41
  You could tell you guys were busting ass,
• 32:43
  and I had that in my notes,
• 32:44
  and I just wanted to make
• 32:45
  sure that you saw that.
• 32:46
  So, again, just to finish up,
• 32:49
  the four people going to
• 32:50
  the games are Ty Jenkins, Jack Rosema,
• 32:52
  Brooke Wells, and Lexi Neely.
• 32:55
  That means that there's
• 32:56
  still some pretty big names
• 32:57
  out there that do not have
• 32:59
  a qualifying spot to the CrossFit Games.
• 33:02
  past games winners, or not winners,
• 33:04
  past games athletes.
• 33:07
  So we're going to see what
• 33:09
  happens with NorCal this
• 33:10
  weekend and if they're
• 33:13
  going to be allowed to be there or not.
• 33:16
  Our very own Carolyn Prevost
• 33:18
  is going to be there trying
• 33:19
  to get her spot.
• 33:21
  So I can't wait to see her
• 33:23
  out there doing her thing.
• 33:26
  For Ty Jenkins,
• 33:29
  is he the youngest male to qualify?
• 33:32
  Like,
• 33:32
  did he do it faster than Dallin and
• 33:35
  James and that group from
• 33:36
  the teenage division?
• 33:37
  Because when did he stop
• 33:38
  doing the teenage?
• 33:39
  Was it two years ago?
• 33:40
  So he missed one year,
• 33:41
  and then it's this one,
• 33:42
  or am I off a little bit?
• 33:44
  So I think George Sterner
• 33:46
  may be the youngest.
• 33:50
  Because George Sterner did
• 33:51
  it in twenty nineteen.
• 33:53
  And I think that was one year after.
• 33:56
  Oh.
• 33:57
  Oh, he made it not as a teen.
• 33:59
  I thought he only did it as
• 34:00
  a teen for Cerner.
• 34:02
  I think I heard that.
• 34:04
  I'm pretty sure I heard that.
• 34:07
  I could be wrong.
• 34:09
  I don't know about that.
• 34:10
  I think he's only made it as a teen.
• 34:14
  Yeah,
• 34:15
  I almost feel like he's only made it
• 34:16
  as a teen, but I don't know.
• 34:17
  I could be wrong.
• 34:19
  If I had two screens, I would look.
• 34:20
  I'm looking at my phone right now.
• 34:22
  I'm going to look.
• 34:24
  All right,
• 34:24
  so let's go to the Rebel Renegades games.
• 34:26
  We talked about that.
• 34:31
  Jenny said two years of teen
• 34:33
  and then twenty nineteen.
• 34:34
  So.
• 34:36
  still pretty impressive because that's,
• 34:39
  you've seen it done on the
• 34:39
  woman's side a lot, you know, younger,
• 34:43
  but it's been hard for the
• 34:44
  males to kind of do that.
• 34:45
  It takes them usually a few
• 34:46
  years to continue to develop,
• 34:49
  especially on the strength side.
• 34:50
  So to see Ty, um, you know,
• 34:53
  get that spot and, you know,
• 34:54
  a lot of people are like, Oh,
• 34:55
  who's going to do the most
• 34:57
  Isabelle's this year.
• 34:58
  And people kept throwing
• 34:59
  Ty's name in the hat.
• 35:01
  So, um,
• 35:02
  Pretty cool for him to qualify and do it.
• 35:07
  Don't forget Ben Smith was
• 35:08
  nineteen when he qualified.
• 35:13
  And he was top ten this weekend.
• 35:16
  Did he finish top ten?
• 35:17
  That's pretty awesome.
• 35:18
  He did.
• 35:19
  I think he finished eighth or ninth.
• 35:22
  When you have traditional
• 35:23
  CrossFit-style programming,
• 35:26
  he's so good at that stuff.
• 35:28
  The amount of volume that
• 35:29
  he's done in his whole career,
• 35:30
  he's just always going to be competitive,
• 35:32
  I feel like, in those type of workouts.
• 35:36
  He moves well.
• 35:38
  As long as he's healthy,
• 35:39
  I feel like he's great at
• 35:41
  classic CrossFit.
• 35:43
  There's nothing that can
• 35:44
  come up in a competition
• 35:45
  that he wouldn't be good at.
• 35:50
  I thought that was a
• 35:50
  highlight of the interviews too,
• 35:52
  getting to hear people's
• 35:54
  stories with Ben Smith.
• 35:57
  And there was one story
• 35:58
  where one of the athletes
• 35:59
  as a kid went to regionals, met Ben Smith,
• 36:02
  got his picture with him,
• 36:04
  and now he's on the
• 36:04
  competition floor with him.
• 36:08
  I just thought it was pretty cool.
• 36:10
  And when Taylor talked to
• 36:11
  Ben about being an
• 36:13
  inspiration and maybe being
• 36:15
  the person that all these
• 36:17
  people there at the event
• 36:19
  were looking to when they
• 36:21
  started this whole thing.
• 36:23
  And Ben's reaction to that was awesome.
• 36:27
  So I thought that was pretty cool, too.
• 36:31
  All right.
• 36:32
  Rebel Renegade Games,
• 36:35
  there was only one ticket for each side.
• 36:39
  And on the women's side,
• 36:41
  it was Christina Leviticus
• 36:48
  and Toby Buckland.
• 36:51
  I can't believe he pulled it off.
• 36:57
  I know.
• 36:57
  I saw Lynn...
• 36:59
  I saw Lynn in the comments
• 37:01
  during that broadcast and
• 37:02
  she was going nuts that he
• 37:04
  had pulled it off.
• 37:06
  She was on there like all
• 37:07
  weekend when I was watching.
• 37:08
  Was it like a last event snag of a slot?
• 37:11
  Yep.
• 37:11
  Yep.
• 37:14
  They had done kind of like
• 37:16
  that Copa Sur workout,
• 37:18
  that handstand walk elimination event.
• 37:20
  They did one of those there
• 37:22
  and he messed up his
• 37:23
  handstand walk in the first
• 37:24
  round and didn't move on.
• 37:25
  So he did not do well.
• 37:28
  And I thought that was enough to – because,
• 37:30
  like,
• 37:30
  you can't have those bad – you can't
• 37:32
  have bad finishes there at
• 37:33
  an event like that when there's one spot.
• 37:34
  And the guy – so I felt bad.
• 37:38
  And actually,
• 37:39
  I don't know if you caught
• 37:39
  Hiller's story about Evie Hollis's.
• 37:42
  I have it ready.
• 37:42
  I saw it.
• 37:45
  I have it ready to show.
• 37:46
  It's essentially – so the
• 37:47
  guy who was in first
• 37:49
  basically had – his were worse than Evie.
• 37:52
  Like, Evie's were fine.
• 37:54
  Like,
• 37:54
  I feel like Hiller's post is correct
• 37:56
  in Evie's –
• 37:59
  point position,
• 38:00
  but like the El Goduni or whatever,
• 38:02
  the other guy,
• 38:04
  his hips did keep like
• 38:05
  falling onto the wall.
• 38:06
  So he had,
• 38:07
  he had to keep bringing them off,
• 38:08
  but yeah.
• 38:13
  Yeah, this is.
• 38:14
  So you'll see here in a second.
• 38:19
  Apparently there it is.
• 38:22
  So apparently she was
• 38:23
  getting no reps because her
• 38:25
  hips were not stacked and
• 38:28
  They brought over two head judges.
• 38:30
  All three judges were standing there.
• 38:32
  You can see them there.
• 38:33
  And they were all no-repping her.
• 38:36
  I believe that Hiller is
• 38:37
  saying that he disagreed
• 38:38
  with that assessment.
• 38:43
  Like, she's holding that.
• 38:45
  Yeah.
• 38:46
  You can't be competitive
• 38:47
  when you have to start doing that.
• 38:49
  That sucks.
• 38:51
  And it sucks.
• 38:52
  This is the stuff that I don't like.
• 38:53
  And this is why I wish there was a,
• 38:56
  I wish all judges could be
• 38:57
  the same and they're not,
• 38:58
  there's going to be human error,
• 38:59
  but it sucks when someone
• 39:01
  moves well and has a judge
• 39:06
  who's going to be harsh.
• 39:07
  And then someone moves like
• 39:08
  shit and doesn't have a
• 39:10
  judge that is even holding
• 39:12
  standard and they just can
• 39:13
  fly through and have no
• 39:15
  accumulation of fatigue.
• 39:21
  My only problem with this is
• 39:23
  the black pants.
• 39:26
  On the black wall?
• 39:27
  The black pants on the black
• 39:28
  wall make it really hard to
• 39:30
  see anything for me.
• 39:31
  For the broadcast,
• 39:32
  but I mean the judges there.
• 39:33
  So that's what really matters, I guess,
• 39:35
  in the end.
• 39:37
  Well, yeah.
• 39:39
  Well, they know Raptor.
• 39:40
  She was in first for almost
• 39:43
  the entire weekend after the first event.
• 39:46
  After the second event, I should say.
• 39:49
  And then lost it on the final event.
• 39:52
  But it was a tight race
• 39:53
  between four people all weekend long.
• 39:57
  And one of those being Sarah
• 39:58
  Sigmundsdottir,
• 40:01
  who ended the competition
• 40:03
  with four event wins, two second places,
• 40:07
  a third place, a fifth place,
• 40:10
  and that one fifteenth
• 40:12
  place cost her a ticket to the Games.
• 40:15
  Yep.
• 40:18
  we talked about that prior
• 40:19
  to the competition that
• 40:20
  when you have one spot or
• 40:22
  when the depth of the field
• 40:23
  isn't quite there those are
• 40:25
  almost like more stressful
• 40:27
  competitions because you
• 40:28
  cannot have one bad one if
• 40:30
  the other two or three that
• 40:31
  are in the hunt are just
• 40:32
  consistently like mixing
• 40:35
  positions of like one to
• 40:37
  three or one to four like
• 40:38
  as soon as you get
• 40:39
  something out of that range
• 40:42
  Like, you're done, basically.
• 40:44
  And for her to come back
• 40:45
  from that and get a spot on
• 40:47
  the podium was pretty cool.
• 40:49
  Because I don't know when
• 40:50
  was the last time that she
• 40:51
  was on the podium for, like,
• 40:53
  a major event.
• 40:54
  It's been a while.
• 40:56
  So Craig says Sarah did great,
• 40:58
  but she can't run.
• 41:00
  Well,
• 41:00
  she has a terrible knee that doesn't
• 41:02
  even have, like, an ACL in it, I believe.
• 41:05
  And her most proud moment
• 41:08
  was that event that she finished fifth.
• 41:10
  Because in all competitions prior,
• 41:13
  she would do that run,
• 41:14
  and then she'd be out for
• 41:15
  the rest of the competition.
• 41:16
  Great.
• 41:18
  She was able to finish the
• 41:20
  weekend as that run being
• 41:22
  the second event.
• 41:24
  And these guys did nine events.
• 41:26
  I know.
• 41:27
  So my question is,
• 41:28
  every other qualifying
• 41:30
  event has been six.
• 41:32
  Well, Mayhem is five.
• 41:35
  No, some of them.
• 41:35
  I think there was one or two
• 41:36
  that was Sunday.
• 41:36
  There was a couple seven.
• 41:38
  Okay.
• 41:39
  Fuck.
• 41:43
  And I think NorCal on their
• 41:44
  schedule has seven.
• 41:48
  So it's not necessarily consistent.
• 41:51
  And like that plays a factor though.
• 41:55
  Yeah.
• 41:55
  I don't know if because they have one spot,
• 41:58
  I think you sort of feel
• 41:58
  like they touched on this
• 41:59
  on the broadcast.
• 42:00
  Like,
• 42:01
  They wanted to have enough
• 42:03
  events and make sure the
• 42:04
  person who got through was full,
• 42:06
  like fully tested enough events.
• 42:09
  Like, I mean, you want,
• 42:10
  when you have one person going,
• 42:11
  you want to make sure it's not a, well,
• 42:13
  it was strength biased and
• 42:15
  that person got through or whatever.
• 42:17
  Like they tested the whole gamut.
• 42:18
  They had two strength events.
• 42:20
  They had the long running event.
• 42:21
  They had, I don't know.
• 42:23
  I thought they had pretty good,
• 42:24
  pretty good programming there.
• 42:28
  Yeah, I thought so.
• 42:31
  Got a super chat from Julian Iford.
• 42:33
  Do you guys know if DB and
• 42:34
  Justin M are still competing at NCC,
• 42:37
  even though they're already
• 42:38
  qualified for the games?
• 42:40
  I do not know.
• 42:41
  Dingell's name is not on the
• 42:44
  roster spot in the NorCal,
• 42:45
  but Justin's name is still there.
• 42:49
  Now,
• 42:49
  Justin has done NorCal Classic in the
• 42:52
  past.
• 42:53
  He started there just
• 42:56
  because he's from the West.
• 42:57
  I wouldn't be surprised for
• 42:58
  him to show up there and throw down,
• 43:00
  especially with the prize pool.
• 43:03
  But I don't think that I've
• 43:04
  seen Dingell anywhere for NorCal.
• 43:11
  Yeah, that's a crazy thing.
• 43:12
  NorCal not only is the last
• 43:13
  chance for a lot of people,
• 43:16
  other than the last chance qualifier,
• 43:19
  is the prize purses is
• 43:21
  bigger than any other competition.
• 43:23
  Right.
• 43:24
  And so even like Colton's
• 43:28
  going to compete because he
• 43:30
  wants the money.
• 43:31
  Yeah.
• 43:33
  And that's what's going to make it insane.
• 43:34
  And it's going to make it
• 43:35
  insane to try to understand
• 43:37
  who is in the spot and who is not.
• 43:40
  Now,
• 43:40
  what I did love about Competition
• 43:41
  Corner this weekend,
• 43:43
  they put tickets beside
• 43:44
  people who had already qualified.
• 43:47
  And that really helped out at Torian.
• 43:50
  Because then you knew who
• 43:51
  was eliminated from the equation.
• 43:53
  Agree.
• 43:57
  So I thought that was cool.
• 43:58
  But yeah,
• 44:00
  there's going to be people going
• 44:01
  to get the money.
• 44:06
  Lynn says,
• 44:07
  Justin said he wasn't competing in it.
• 44:09
  If he qualified in the first
• 44:11
  boys interrupted.
• 44:13
  I do think I remember
• 44:14
  hearing him say that.
• 44:16
  If he doesn't, then he might,
• 44:17
  he might also just come and watch.
• 44:19
  It was like his mom was
• 44:20
  there last year or the past
• 44:21
  couple of years.
• 44:22
  Like they often go and support the event.
• 44:24
  So I wouldn't be surprised
• 44:25
  if he's hanging around and
• 44:28
  just going to watch his,
• 44:29
  his friends compete.
• 44:31
  Speaking of going and hanging around,
• 44:33
  that's the one thing we
• 44:33
  missed on the Syndicate Crown.
• 44:36
  I loved the athletes only
• 44:38
  heats where they would do
• 44:42
  one of the programmed
• 44:43
  events as athletes that
• 44:45
  were not competing,
• 44:47
  allowed them to take the
• 44:48
  floor and compete in that event.
• 44:50
  And if they won the event,
• 44:51
  they won five hundred bucks.
• 44:52
  How did that go?
• 44:52
  Like, did anyone win?
• 44:56
  Yeah,
• 44:57
  so the first thing was there was the
• 45:00
  Isabel with John, the JY Challenge.
• 45:03
  John came in third.
• 45:06
  Sam Demeester won.
• 45:08
  So Sam Demeester gets five hundred bucks.
• 45:12
  Then they did the Kill Taylor.
• 45:14
  Kill Taylor was beat by the
• 45:19
  actual competing athletes.
• 45:22
  So,
• 45:23
  I believe it was Lexi Neely got five
• 45:25
  hundred dollars.
• 45:26
  Lydia Fish on the floor.
• 45:30
  He gave Lydia Fish on the floor money.
• 45:33
  And then Reese Littlewood
• 45:34
  came in the next heat and beat that.
• 45:37
  And then Spencer beat that.
• 45:39
  And yeah, there was all kinds of... So,
• 45:42
  anyone that was beating his
• 45:43
  time got five hundred, right?
• 45:46
  It was just who won it overall.
• 45:48
  And then today they did none
• 45:50
  of those like...
• 45:53
  like kill taylor or john or
• 45:55
  anything it was just an
• 45:56
  athlete it was called the
• 45:57
  athlete only heat and it
• 45:58
  was hayley adams and angela
• 46:01
  chico and sam demeester and
• 46:03
  taylor and uh lindsey lane
• 46:08
  right but that's what
• 46:12
  they're calling that heat
• 46:13
  too they were doing
• 46:15
  athletes only that was that
• 46:17
  event I know probably
• 46:20
  I know,
• 46:20
  but that's what they were calling
• 46:21
  that heat as well.
• 46:23
  And,
• 46:25
  and then Austin Hatfield ended up
• 46:27
  winning that.
• 46:28
  Now Austin Hatfield competed
• 46:30
  against kill Taylor and
• 46:32
  could not do the cut rope
• 46:34
  and actually got eliminated
• 46:35
  before all of the intervals.
• 46:37
  Cause he could not complete
• 46:39
  the rope climb in the intervals.
• 46:42
  And that was the minimum work requirement.
• 46:44
  Wait, he didn't,
• 46:44
  he couldn't do the cut rope.
• 46:47
  No, he was terrible at it.
• 46:48
  He basically was doing legless,
• 46:50
  and then he failed because
• 46:51
  he couldn't get them done
• 46:51
  in the time frame of it.
• 46:52
  Because if you didn't do the buy-in,
• 46:55
  you couldn't keep going on intervals.
• 46:57
  Yeah.
• 46:58
  He could have just squeezed up his thighs.
• 47:03
  I know.
• 47:03
  Like the Brent Fikowski technique, Katrin?
• 47:05
  Like you just jump, squeeze up your thighs,
• 47:07
  reach, and then you get your footing.
• 47:09
  That's what Brooke did.
• 47:10
  He couldn't do any of that.
• 47:11
  Oh, interesting.
• 47:14
  Um, but he had great legless at mayhem.
• 47:16
  I know you would think he
• 47:17
  would have gotten through
• 47:18
  just on legless.
• 47:19
  I just think the,
• 47:21
  I think probably if he
• 47:21
  would have just done legless,
• 47:23
  he might've been okay.
• 47:23
  But you know,
• 47:24
  when you're trying to get
• 47:25
  your foot and then you're
• 47:25
  holding and it's taking long,
• 47:27
  like the fatigue just sets in.
• 47:29
  He may have pushed too hard too.
• 47:30
  Cause he's trying to win it.
• 47:31
  Yeah.
• 47:31
  Yeah.
• 47:35
  the, the,
• 47:35
  so then Austin came back today to
• 47:36
  win and he actually said,
• 47:38
  I embarrassed myself yesterday.
• 47:40
  So I needed to come back
• 47:41
  today and win and redeem myself.
• 47:43
  But Haley looked really good too,
• 47:45
  but she always looks good
• 47:46
  on rope climb GHD workouts.
• 47:48
  Oh yeah.
• 47:49
  So that's her jam.
• 47:52
  Yeah.
• 47:54
  Um, so yeah,
• 47:57
  but I thought that was a cool
• 47:58
  addition to the event that,
• 48:00
  And it gives you the
• 48:01
  opportunity for the fans to
• 48:03
  mingle with these people
• 48:04
  who aren't there to compete.
• 48:05
  Right.
• 48:06
  How was the turnout for like the fans?
• 48:10
  I don't think it's what they wanted,
• 48:11
  but I think it was okay.
• 48:14
  Now vendors were saying they killed it.
• 48:19
  That's good.
• 48:20
  Every time I looked into the stands,
• 48:21
  it didn't all look as full as last year.
• 48:26
  Yeah,
• 48:26
  I kind of wonder if they had it more
• 48:27
  open.
• 48:29
  Because, like,
• 48:29
  they would block off last
• 48:30
  year where they wanted
• 48:31
  people to make it look.
• 48:33
  And maybe they didn't do that this year.
• 48:34
  I don't know.
• 48:37
  Well, they did two floors, too.
• 48:38
  Right.
• 48:39
  So it sort of pushed
• 48:40
  everybody to one end or the other.
• 48:42
  And it still didn't look as
• 48:45
  full as last year.
• 48:45
  Yeah.
• 48:50
  So.
• 48:51
  all right um what's annoying
• 48:54
  this year is like the teams
• 48:55
  it doesn't matter right
• 48:56
  like you have a bunch of
• 48:58
  great teams that are there
• 48:59
  competing but like that
• 49:00
  competition means nothing
• 49:01
  in the grand scheme of
• 49:02
  things like they're not
• 49:03
  it's not a qualifying
• 49:04
  qualifying um competition
• 49:07
  for for the games and
• 49:08
  that's too bad right
• 49:10
  because like those are
• 49:11
  legit workouts team
• 49:12
  workouts and it would have
• 49:15
  been nice that like some of
• 49:16
  these in-person events um
• 49:19
  that the teams get some sort
• 49:20
  of recognition.
• 49:23
  Well,
• 49:23
  I think we talked about that last
• 49:24
  week and it's something
• 49:25
  that Jenny brought up on
• 49:26
  dense updates that when it
• 49:28
  counts for the teams,
• 49:30
  their communities come in
• 49:32
  bigger chunks than individual athletes.
• 49:35
  And that's where you get more attendance.
• 49:38
  So by cutting them out of this part,
• 49:40
  you're,
• 49:42
  And, you know, Syndicate had teams,
• 49:44
  but it doesn't mean it's
• 49:46
  not for a games ticket.
• 49:47
  So the community is not
• 49:48
  going to band together and
• 49:49
  come support just for a cash prize.
• 49:53
  Yeah.
• 49:54
  Right?
• 49:55
  Mm-hmm.
• 49:57
  So, yeah.
• 50:00
  All right, let's move on to Torium Pro.
• 50:04
  The games tickets went to,
• 50:06
  on the men's side,
• 50:07
  Peter Ellis and Isaac Newman.
• 50:09
  Oh, yeah.
• 50:11
  And on the women's side,
• 50:13
  Tia Claire Toomey and Emily DeRoy.
• 50:18
  I think the event was what it always is,
• 50:22
  one massive party.
• 50:24
  And I wish we could bottle
• 50:26
  that and drop it into...
• 50:29
  all the different arenas
• 50:31
  that these events go on
• 50:33
  because the crowd goes nuts.
• 50:37
  And I see that – I saw
• 50:39
  someone say something.
• 50:41
  Trying to live the dance
• 50:42
  break from Torian was epic.
• 50:45
  Watching the athletes go out
• 50:46
  and dance with the dancers was awesome.
• 50:53
  What makes it so successful every year?
• 50:56
  Are they recruiting gyms
• 50:59
  months in advance?
• 51:02
  That event is always top.
• 51:06
  What's the difference
• 51:09
  between that one and other ones?
• 51:10
  Is it because ours has just
• 51:12
  diluted with the amount of
• 51:13
  competitions we have in North America?
• 51:15
  Yeah.
• 51:15
  And I think it is,
• 51:18
  I think it's their water Palooza,
• 51:20
  their CrossFit games all
• 51:22
  melded into one thing.
• 51:25
  Yeah.
• 51:25
  Cause it is a community event,
• 51:26
  like outside that arena,
• 51:28
  there are community events
• 51:29
  going on all weekend long.
• 51:31
  And then, and then you add like the,
• 51:35
  the lights and the fire and
• 51:36
  the flames and the,
• 51:37
  all the stuff in the dancing,
• 51:39
  it gives it that water
• 51:40
  Palooza kind of party atmosphere.
• 51:43
  Um,
• 51:45
  So I think that's the big deal.
• 51:47
  Now,
• 51:47
  the one drawback is being mentioned a
• 51:48
  ton in here was the stream.
• 51:52
  But the reason the stream
• 51:53
  was bad is they got picked
• 51:55
  up by Australian ESPN
• 51:57
  because of the party,
• 51:58
  because of what they do there.
• 52:01
  ESPN paid them to broadcast
• 52:04
  that on their Australian ESPN channel.
• 52:07
  So with that came a lot of
• 52:09
  restrictions on the stream.
• 52:11
  But you can't blame the
• 52:13
  event organizers for
• 52:14
  getting so good that a
• 52:16
  major network wants to broadcast you.
• 52:20
  Yeah.
• 52:21
  And I think now it's
• 52:22
  starting to trickle down to
• 52:23
  YouTube for people to watch.
• 52:25
  I know day one was there.
• 52:26
  I haven't seen if day two and day three.
• 52:28
  All three days are there now.
• 52:30
  Okay.
• 52:33
  Yeah.
• 52:33
  So, yeah, I just think that is...
• 52:38
  I see people say it's one of
• 52:39
  the biggest cities.
• 52:41
  It's also like their biggest
• 52:42
  competition of the year.
• 52:43
  You know, I think that's what Europe was.
• 52:46
  Regionals or semifinals in Europe,
• 52:49
  that was their CrossFit Games.
• 52:51
  That was their European championship.
• 52:54
  And that's why those got
• 52:56
  sold out all the time, too.
• 52:58
  Here, people just take advantage of it.
• 53:00
  There'll be another competition next week.
• 53:03
  Yep.
• 53:06
  So...
• 53:08
  The stories out of Torian
• 53:11
  were that Tia won
• 53:13
  everything but one event,
• 53:15
  and she took second in that.
• 53:17
  So that High Rocks training
• 53:18
  took a lot out of her,
• 53:20
  or she would have won all six.
• 53:23
  Was there any doubt?
• 53:25
  I mean, we talked about it privately.
• 53:30
  I was like,
• 53:32
  Gracie should win the skier burpee one,
• 53:35
  but other than that, I was like,
• 53:37
  I don't think anyone touches her.
• 53:40
  It's crazy.
• 53:40
  It's crazy.
• 53:43
  No one is just in the same planet as her.
• 53:49
  Yeah, she's so good.
• 53:52
  Vi says,
• 53:52
  my issue with the website stream
• 53:54
  is using the rewind.
• 53:55
  Either my finger is too big
• 53:57
  or the interface just
• 53:57
  wasn't phone friendly.
• 53:59
  Hey, Vi, I've got the same problem.
• 54:01
  My finger is way too big to
• 54:04
  do the back and forth with the
• 54:06
  thing on my phone.
• 54:08
  That's why I have to do it
• 54:09
  on a laptop or with,
• 54:10
  so I can use my mouse.
• 54:12
  You could rewind.
• 54:15
  I couldn't even, I never even watched.
• 54:16
  I even watched one minute.
• 54:19
  If it was up, you could rewind it.
• 54:21
  Okay.
• 54:22
  Once the day was over,
• 54:24
  once the day's over though,
• 54:25
  you could bring it up.
• 54:26
  That's awful.
• 54:27
  That's... The only event I watched was the,
• 54:32
  um...
• 54:33
  strict handstand pushup and clean one.
• 54:38
  And I was curious to see how
• 54:39
  Tia was going to do on that one.
• 54:40
  Cause like all of the other
• 54:42
  ones have very heavy
• 54:43
  gymnastics in it that I
• 54:46
  felt Tia would separate
• 54:47
  herself regardless because her gymnastics,
• 54:50
  um, like ring muscle ups, et cetera,
• 54:52
  so good.
• 54:53
  And I was just curious on
• 54:54
  the squat clean or clean in general.
• 54:56
  Like if,
• 54:57
  if she would lose a little bit of
• 55:00
  strength from the high rocks, um,
• 55:03
  And she was just jogging
• 55:05
  from one side of the, like,
• 55:07
  like everyone's walking
• 55:08
  towards their transition.
• 55:09
  She was jogging, power cleaning,
• 55:11
  everything.
• 55:12
  Like no strength had ever
• 55:14
  been lost in this high rocks training.
• 55:17
  And I was like, damn, she's so good.
• 55:20
  Yeah.
• 55:23
  And then from that on, I was like, yep.
• 55:24
  Okay.
• 55:25
  So game over for everyone.
• 55:29
  And she's clearly going to
• 55:29
  accept her spot.
• 55:32
  Yeah,
• 55:32
  rumors are circling that she is
• 55:34
  accepting the spot.
• 55:36
  Proven made the announcement
• 55:37
  on their socials that she
• 55:43
  punched her ticket to the games.
• 55:45
  So I think it's a done deal.
• 55:47
  Cool for Emily DeRoy to get
• 55:50
  back on the individual side.
• 55:51
  She took a break from the
• 55:52
  individual last year to go team and won,
• 55:55
  I think, with Kara and that group, right?
• 55:59
  They won the games in twenty twenty four.
• 56:01
  And then now back on the individual side,
• 56:04
  hoping that she'll learn
• 56:06
  some experience from the
• 56:07
  team side and bring that over.
• 56:09
  And then on the men's side,
• 56:11
  whatever happened to Bailey Martin,
• 56:13
  do we know his injury,
• 56:14
  why he withdrew after the first event?
• 56:17
  Was it ever posted anywhere?
• 56:19
  I didn't see anything.
• 56:22
  I didn't see anything.
• 56:22
  Just curious what happened
• 56:26
  there with that one.
• 56:27
  Yeah.
• 56:30
  Yeah.
• 56:31
  Just to answer Jamie's question,
• 56:33
  CrossFit says ESPN had an
• 56:34
  embargo on the replay
• 56:35
  availability just to clear
• 56:37
  that time window.
• 56:38
  So whenever you broadcast on
• 56:40
  like a national network,
• 56:42
  they get exclusive rights
• 56:43
  for a time period.
• 56:46
  Then once that's done,
• 56:47
  they can move it to YouTube for replay.
• 56:50
  And that is because in Australia,
• 56:52
  they want you to go to the
• 56:53
  ESPN app to then watch that.
• 56:58
  So just to...
• 57:00
  Can we not get Australian ESPN over here?
• 57:06
  Probably with ESPN+.
• 57:07
  Do you have that?
• 57:08
  Yeah.
• 57:09
  Nobody said that was an option,
• 57:11
  so I didn't try that route.
• 57:14
  Uh, Ricky had a very,
• 57:15
  very impressive weekend as well.
• 57:17
  Like if you look at his total points,
• 57:19
  I think he won everything,
• 57:20
  but like in two second places.
• 57:22
  Right.
• 57:23
  And Maddie was great too.
• 57:24
  Just that it got
• 57:25
  overshadowed by how good Tia was.
• 57:28
  Um, but Ricky, Ricky was as dominant,
• 57:31
  I think on the men's side.
• 57:35
  Uh,
• 57:35
  Alyssa Stuckey says I'm proven YouTube
• 57:38
  video.
• 57:39
  Shane said he went to the
• 57:40
  hospital with a heart related issue.
• 57:43
  Someone else said that Shane
• 57:45
  was said it was heat related.
• 57:49
  So putting it together,
• 57:50
  I'm wondering if he
• 57:51
  suffered from heat
• 57:52
  exhaustion or something
• 57:53
  like their heat stroke.
• 57:55
  And maybe they just out of
• 57:56
  precaution took him to the hospital.
• 58:03
  And Terry says the broadcast
• 58:04
  was a pay-per-view format.
• 58:06
  Yeah.
• 58:08
  that's even crazier that
• 58:10
  they're able to do that.
• 58:11
  Yeah.
• 58:12
  That is so cool.
• 58:16
  Well,
• 58:16
  hopefully they were able to profit
• 58:19
  from the, from the event.
• 58:30
  All right.
• 58:30
  So, all right.
• 58:30
  What is Kipping saying?
• 58:31
  Ty got, Oh,
• 58:34
  Ty got knocked out for box
• 58:35
  steps last year.
• 58:36
  I see.
• 58:40
  We're past all that.
• 58:41
  Grant, come on.
• 58:47
  I thought something happened
• 58:48
  in the last hour.
• 58:52
  They reviewed something and
• 58:53
  he knocked out.
• 58:58
  Fari's throwdown.
• 59:01
  This is the one I watched the least.
• 59:04
  I had to budget my time with
• 59:05
  travel and everything else going on.
• 59:08
  And when Jamie said they
• 59:09
  were playing elevator music
• 59:12
  in the background,
• 59:13
  I was driving and could not fall asleep,
• 59:16
  did not want to fall asleep.
• 59:18
  So I did not flip over to that.
• 59:21
  But we have one person, one man,
• 59:24
  one woman that got their ticket.
• 59:26
  And that is Morteza Sagat on
• 59:29
  the men's side and on the women's side,
• 59:31
  Mariana Mesa,
• 59:33
  which is kind of a big upset.
• 59:34
  A lot of people had Dwan Young.
• 59:37
  A lot of people had Sahir Kaya.
• 59:41
  But Mariana Mesa got it and
• 59:44
  she kind of got it late.
• 59:49
  Sung Young Choi actually won the event.
• 59:52
  Yeah.
• 59:53
  But she already had her ticket,
• 59:55
  so it went to the next person down.
• 59:59
  Oh, Mariana was winning after day one.
• 1:00:02
  Like, she won the first or second.
• 1:00:06
  She was in the mix the whole time.
• 1:00:09
  Yeah, I mean,
• 1:00:10
  I'm pretty sure she was ahead
• 1:00:11
  of Choi day one.
• 1:00:13
  Yeah.
• 1:00:14
  And then I think whatever
• 1:00:15
  there happened in Saturday, that's,
• 1:00:17
  I missed a little bit on Saturday.
• 1:00:19
  And I caught up again this morning.
• 1:00:22
  She, yeah, she looked pretty good in the,
• 1:00:25
  pretty good in Amanda Forty-Five.
• 1:00:27
  The other girl,
• 1:00:28
  the other girl I was
• 1:00:29
  watching won it at the end.
• 1:00:30
  That was their final.
• 1:00:31
  That looked, God, that looked awful.
• 1:00:36
  Any other comments about that?
• 1:00:37
  Because I did not watch this one.
• 1:00:40
  That's a tough final.
• 1:00:42
  Yeah.
• 1:00:42
  That's a very tough final.
• 1:00:44
  Yeah.
• 1:00:46
  And I was surprised how many people, like,
• 1:00:52
  I was like, oh God,
• 1:00:53
  why are they doing this here?
• 1:00:54
  You're going to have half
• 1:00:55
  the people not even like
• 1:00:57
  get through one round and the first, the,
• 1:00:59
  the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the,
• 1:00:59
  the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the,
• 1:01:00
  the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the,
• 1:01:01
  the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the,
• 1:01:03
  the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the,
• 1:01:03
  the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the,
• 1:01:04
  the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the,
• 1:01:06
  the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the,
• 1:01:07
  the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the,
• 1:01:08
  the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the,
• 1:01:10
  the,
• 1:01:13
  A lot of people are talking about visas,
• 1:01:15
  trying to get in.
• 1:01:16
  I'm sure we're going to have
• 1:01:17
  that issue this year.
• 1:01:21
  Politically,
• 1:01:22
  it's just tough to get a visa
• 1:01:23
  into this country now.
• 1:01:24
  And some of those countries,
• 1:01:28
  it's going to be even harder.
• 1:01:29
  So I saw Lynn say that
• 1:01:32
  Maritza is working with the
• 1:01:34
  same people who worked with Roman.
• 1:01:36
  So hopefully they can help
• 1:01:38
  with that visa to get them
• 1:01:40
  into the country.
• 1:01:43
  I'm going to change the topic.
• 1:01:44
  Do you think that Guy's
• 1:01:44
  kicking himself in the butt for the open?
• 1:01:49
  Like Fuliano?
• 1:01:49
  Well, technically he didn't.
• 1:01:55
  He would have qualified.
• 1:01:57
  Yeah,
• 1:01:57
  only because the other two did already.
• 1:02:01
  Yeah, I see what you're saying.
• 1:02:02
  Yeah.
• 1:02:05
  I don't know.
• 1:02:08
  When I heard Luke Parker talk about it,
• 1:02:11
  He was saying that Guy has
• 1:02:13
  been processing the grief
• 1:02:15
  of last year way differently than he was.
• 1:02:18
  So I really don't think that
• 1:02:21
  that's even in his mind about the games.
• 1:02:24
  I agree.
• 1:02:28
  So I don't think it was
• 1:02:30
  because he didn't think he
• 1:02:31
  could make it or anything like that.
• 1:02:33
  I think that emotionally
• 1:02:34
  that's what he had to do to
• 1:02:35
  get through this season.
• 1:02:38
  Yeah.
• 1:02:45
  Any other big issues with
• 1:02:47
  all four qualifying events?
• 1:02:51
  It was a busy weekend.
• 1:02:53
  It was a busy weekend.
• 1:02:57
  No.
• 1:02:59
  I mean, you know, it's those foreign ones.
• 1:03:04
  The announcer on the floor
• 1:03:05
  for Far East was she would
• 1:03:07
  do her I don't know.
• 1:03:10
  What are
• 1:03:11
  what are they speaking over there?
• 1:03:12
  I think they're in Korea.
• 1:03:13
  It's Korean, Korean.
• 1:03:15
  Um, so she would speak in there.
• 1:03:16
  Actually,
• 1:03:17
  she may have spoke multiple languages,
• 1:03:18
  but she would speak, speak,
• 1:03:20
  and then speak in English.
• 1:03:21
  And I mean,
• 1:03:25
  so it's good as you're going to get,
• 1:03:28
  unless they do the multiple
• 1:03:29
  like language streams.
• 1:03:30
  Um, I thought it was good.
• 1:03:35
  Um,
• 1:03:37
  I think Lynn brings up a great point.
• 1:03:39
  The teams were impressive this weekend.
• 1:03:42
  Caden at Rebel Games was amazing, top ten.
• 1:03:46
  And then the teen girls at
• 1:03:48
  Syndicate were off the chain.
• 1:03:51
  And then Ty qualifying for
• 1:03:52
  the games at nineteen.
• 1:03:55
  Pretty impressive.
• 1:03:58
  Is Reese Littlewood or
• 1:04:00
  whatever her name is,
• 1:04:00
  is she still a teenager?
• 1:04:02
  Yes.
• 1:04:03
  Eighteen.
• 1:04:04
  Oh, wow.
• 1:04:06
  Miley, seventeen.
• 1:04:08
  She was the youngest one.
• 1:04:09
  She's currently still at
• 1:04:11
  like she's going to the teenage games.
• 1:04:13
  No.
• 1:04:14
  Graduated.
• 1:04:15
  Yep.
• 1:04:17
  Reese is graduated out of
• 1:04:18
  the teen division.
• 1:04:19
  Correct.
• 1:04:20
  But she's still a teenager.
• 1:04:23
  Well, Reese is eighteen.
• 1:04:24
  Miley is seventeen.
• 1:04:27
  Yeah, I agree.
• 1:04:29
  I'm not.
• 1:04:32
  They did great this weekend.
• 1:04:33
  Really,
• 1:04:34
  really good weekend for the
• 1:04:34
  teenagers and like very
• 1:04:36
  impressive again for Ty to,
• 1:04:38
  to break through on the men's side.
• 1:04:39
  Cause that is harder to do.
• 1:04:44
  Yeah.
• 1:04:45
  I think that was really, you know,
• 1:04:47
  there were high hopes for
• 1:04:48
  him and that can either
• 1:04:49
  crush you or you can step up to it.
• 1:04:52
  And I think him stepping up
• 1:04:53
  to it is pretty doggone impressive.
• 1:04:56
  Well,
• 1:04:56
  he won Wadapalooza in the RX division,
• 1:04:59
  right?
• 1:04:59
  He goes and gets second in
• 1:05:01
  the Challenger division recently.
• 1:05:03
  Now he's got this one.
• 1:05:05
  You know,
• 1:05:05
  he's building some good momentum
• 1:05:07
  right now.
• 1:05:08
  And, like,
• 1:05:09
  that Brute team again this year has Fee,
• 1:05:14
  Dallin, now Hopper, James, Ty.
• 1:05:19
  They have, what, five?
• 1:05:21
  All five of their bigger name athletes,
• 1:05:23
  they all qualified.
• 1:05:25
  like another impressive year
• 1:05:28
  for the brute team.
• 1:05:31
  Yeah.
• 1:05:32
  Do you know what's really
• 1:05:33
  impressive about Reese and Caroline?
• 1:05:35
  Because you didn't watch the broadcast.
• 1:05:36
  You probably miss this.
• 1:05:38
  She's,
• 1:05:38
  she is with the coach of her
• 1:05:40
  affiliate that she just
• 1:05:43
  signed up for four years
• 1:05:44
  ago and has been working
• 1:05:46
  with just him the entire time.
• 1:05:50
  And that I think is just,
• 1:05:51
  I love when that stuff happens.
• 1:05:53
  That's great.
• 1:05:58
  And so, yeah, I think that,
• 1:06:01
  plus I think there's some
• 1:06:02
  grounding with that when
• 1:06:04
  you're just kind of still
• 1:06:05
  at your affiliate, still with your family,
• 1:06:08
  doing all that stuff.
• 1:06:09
  But she turned straight
• 1:06:11
  savage on the floor.
• 1:06:14
  Like when she knows it's hers to take,
• 1:06:17
  she takes it.
• 1:06:18
  Two event wins or is that,
• 1:06:20
  or am I thinking someone else?
• 1:06:21
  Yeah, she had two event wins.
• 1:06:22
  Two back-to-backs, yeah.
• 1:06:25
  She called them both.
• 1:06:26
  Like she?
• 1:06:28
  Yeah.
• 1:06:28
  Did she have a background in gymnastics?
• 1:06:30
  Because those were the two
• 1:06:31
  gymnastics events.
• 1:06:32
  Like the more biased gymnastics.
• 1:06:34
  She said that.
• 1:06:35
  She said from baby classes
• 1:06:37
  until she was fourteen she
• 1:06:38
  did gymnastics.
• 1:06:39
  And then she started doing
• 1:06:39
  CrossFit at fourteen.
• 1:06:40
  So she's been doing it for four years.
• 1:06:42
  That's awesome.
• 1:06:46
  Yeah.
• 1:06:46
  And Miley Wade is really good, too.
• 1:06:49
  And Lydia Fish is going to be great.
• 1:06:50
  I mean,
• 1:06:51
  she was just... Lydia was good all
• 1:06:54
  weekend, just the snatch event,
• 1:06:59
  which is a tough one.
• 1:07:00
  And the sandbag at the end
• 1:07:01
  was a little heavy for her.
• 1:07:02
  Well, that's what kept Reese out.
• 1:07:04
  Yeah.
• 1:07:05
  I mean,
• 1:07:05
  she would be going if she finished three,
• 1:07:08
  four spots higher.
• 1:07:14
  Um...
• 1:07:15
  All right.
• 1:07:16
  Well, it was a fun weekend.
• 1:07:17
  So glad that all of these
• 1:07:19
  events were streamed and we
• 1:07:20
  could watch all of them.
• 1:07:21
  And I really do appreciate
• 1:07:23
  the efforts by everybody to do that.
• 1:07:27
  Just show me the finish of the races.
• 1:07:30
  That's all.
• 1:07:36
  So here's my mini riff for
• 1:07:39
  the week is you have four
• 1:07:42
  qualifying events going on this weekend.
• 1:07:44
  You have all of the creators
• 1:07:46
  in the space creating
• 1:07:47
  content around all of these four events.
• 1:07:53
  And when you want to get a
• 1:07:54
  message out in this space,
• 1:07:57
  do you throw it in the
• 1:07:59
  hopper with all of this shit and
• 1:08:02
  Or do you do it during the
• 1:08:04
  week and a half we had
• 1:08:05
  nothing to talk about when
• 1:08:08
  we could have been talking about that?
• 1:08:10
  No,
• 1:08:11
  you put it Friday afternoon in the
• 1:08:13
  middle of this mess.
• 1:08:15
  You announce that you have a
• 1:08:17
  new Road to the Games
• 1:08:18
  episode out and that the
• 1:08:19
  Community Cup workouts are
• 1:08:21
  being announced.
• 1:08:22
  And here they are.
• 1:08:24
  Sign up.
• 1:08:24
  Let's go.
• 1:08:29
  You've got to be kidding me.
• 1:08:30
  Nobody's even seeing them.
• 1:08:33
  I haven't seen them and I'm like,
• 1:08:34
  and I need to program,
• 1:08:35
  like get them scheduled for the gym.
• 1:08:37
  Cause we're doing a competition.
• 1:08:38
  I just scheduled them for our gym.
• 1:08:40
  Did you on the Monday,
• 1:08:41
  Wednesday and Friday?
• 1:08:42
  Yeah.
• 1:08:42
  Have you seen them?
• 1:08:43
  You haven't seen the workouts?
• 1:08:44
  No,
• 1:08:44
  I haven't even looked because I've been
• 1:08:46
  trying to consume.
• 1:08:47
  Do you get an email?
• 1:08:49
  Yeah, I have.
• 1:08:50
  I just haven't scrolled to
• 1:08:51
  that far down the sheet.
• 1:08:56
  It has got whoever's running
• 1:08:58
  the marketing department at CrossFit is
• 1:09:01
  needs to be fired.
• 1:09:03
  Like, that is the dumbest thing ever.
• 1:09:05
  If you would have released
• 1:09:06
  Road to the Games on Wednesday last week,
• 1:09:08
  it would have five times as
• 1:09:10
  many views as it does today.
• 1:09:15
  It's ridiculous.
• 1:09:17
  I had to squeeze in Road to
• 1:09:18
  the Games today because I
• 1:09:20
  knew we were going to talk
• 1:09:20
  about it tonight,
• 1:09:21
  and I still hadn't got
• 1:09:22
  around to seeing it yet.
• 1:09:25
  And I watched it right
• 1:09:26
  before we went on the air.
• 1:09:30
  It's so dumb.
• 1:09:33
  So, I'm really pissed about it.
• 1:09:35
  It's just laziness.
• 1:09:37
  They need to make another
• 1:09:39
  run of announcements on Monday.
• 1:09:41
  Like, a full rerun of everything.
• 1:09:44
  Because people have been... Like,
• 1:09:47
  I see someone saying, like,
• 1:09:48
  maybe this flurry of events
• 1:09:50
  will get people hyped up.
• 1:09:52
  Okay, well, like,
• 1:09:54
  it got lost in the shuffle.
• 1:09:55
  Like, I missed it.
• 1:09:56
  I mean, I didn't miss it, but I did.
• 1:09:58
  So, like, you need to re...
• 1:10:01
  announce it on monday we had
• 1:10:06
  no qualifying events last
• 1:10:07
  weekend that gave us like a
• 1:10:09
  ten day window where
• 1:10:11
  nothing was happening you
• 1:10:12
  had everybody's eyes and
• 1:10:14
  ears all the content
• 1:10:15
  creators were starving for
• 1:10:16
  something to talk about and
• 1:10:20
  you gave us nothing you gave us nothing
• 1:10:24
  Yeah,
• 1:10:24
  if you watched my show on lunch on Friday,
• 1:10:26
  you got the same riff.
• 1:10:28
  But I didn't have that many
• 1:10:29
  viewers on Friday because
• 1:10:30
  all the stuff was going on.
• 1:10:31
  And I knew it.
• 1:10:32
  I knew I was getting no views.
• 1:10:34
  So why did you waste your
• 1:10:35
  riff on the Friday?
• 1:10:37
  You should have wasted it on another day.
• 1:10:41
  You're doing exactly what they're doing.
• 1:10:45
  This is exactly what they're doing.
• 1:10:49
  I said to the three people
• 1:10:50
  that were listening on
• 1:10:51
  Friday that the only reason
• 1:10:53
  I did it last weekend was
• 1:10:54
  to keep the habit.
• 1:10:59
  And I knew I was going out
• 1:11:00
  of town and I probably
• 1:11:01
  wouldn't do a Monday show.
• 1:11:02
  So I needed to at least get
• 1:11:04
  it in and get my reps in.
• 1:11:06
  But damn it, people.
• 1:11:10
  A taste of your own medicine now.
• 1:11:13
  Yeah.
• 1:11:14
  They need to announce it
• 1:11:15
  Monday or Tuesday.
• 1:11:16
  I understand Monday was Memorial Day.
• 1:11:19
  It may have gotten lost in that.
• 1:11:20
  So maybe you do it Tuesday
• 1:11:21
  before all this stuff starts up.
• 1:11:23
  I am telling you,
• 1:11:24
  as a guy who does a show every day now,
• 1:11:27
  Wednesday is the prime time
• 1:11:28
  during a dead week.
• 1:11:30
  By the time you get to Wednesday,
• 1:11:31
  there's nothing to review
• 1:11:33
  from the weekend before.
• 1:11:34
  There's nothing to preview
• 1:11:36
  for the week coming up.
• 1:11:38
  You're just kind of in no man's land.
• 1:11:40
  And you want the content
• 1:11:41
  creators to share your stuff.
• 1:11:44
  That's how it gets out there.
• 1:11:48
  Anyway.
• 1:11:49
  So they released Road to the Games.
• 1:11:51
  It's with Abigail Domet and Fisa Goffey.
• 1:11:56
  Now I'm going to be the
• 1:11:57
  bearer of bad news.
• 1:11:59
  It was not good.
• 1:12:02
  It was the worst Road to the
• 1:12:04
  Games that they have put out so far.
• 1:12:08
  It brought nothing new to the table.
• 1:12:13
  Nothing new.
• 1:12:13
  The only,
• 1:12:15
  only good part of this thing was
• 1:12:18
  the brute camp and they're all in it,
• 1:12:21
  go out for a run and
• 1:12:23
  they're laughing and
• 1:12:24
  giggling and Matt Torres
• 1:12:26
  loses his mind and he goes
• 1:12:28
  into tough coach mode.
• 1:12:33
  That is the one thing that
• 1:12:36
  was relevant in this whole
• 1:12:37
  thing that I learned that
• 1:12:39
  Torres has a switch.
• 1:12:41
  And when he switches it, it's bad.
• 1:12:44
  He was not happy.
• 1:12:46
  He was not.
• 1:12:51
  Do you think that the road
• 1:12:53
  to the games is more boring
• 1:12:55
  now because the athletes
• 1:12:56
  have less in their lives to
• 1:12:58
  do than the past games athletes?
• 1:13:00
  I'm just saying that because
• 1:13:01
  none of them really work as much.
• 1:13:04
  They're just training all day.
• 1:13:05
  Is that just less content to follow?
• 1:13:09
  Am I wrong saying that?
• 1:13:10
  Yeah.
• 1:13:11
  No, I get what you're saying.
• 1:13:14
  So it's just workout montages.
• 1:13:18
  There's not much different
• 1:13:20
  than we see from the regular channels.
• 1:13:22
  And I think because they all
• 1:13:23
  have their own channels a lot of times,
• 1:13:25
  you already know a lot about them.
• 1:13:30
  Here's my thing.
• 1:13:31
  I've interviewed both Abby
• 1:13:33
  and Fi probably more times
• 1:13:35
  than a lot of the athletes.
• 1:13:37
  They have so many
• 1:13:38
  interesting things in their
• 1:13:39
  background and in their stories.
• 1:13:41
  Concert violinist Fee was.
• 1:13:46
  And then she never played
• 1:13:47
  sports and she just found
• 1:13:48
  CrossFit accidentally.
• 1:13:50
  Like,
• 1:13:51
  I know that some people know that story,
• 1:13:54
  but not everybody does.
• 1:13:55
  And they've never seen it with pictures.
• 1:13:57
  She may have only told it on a podcast.
• 1:14:02
  She's of Middle Eastern and
• 1:14:03
  Mexican descent.
• 1:14:05
  And because of that,
• 1:14:06
  she embraces both cultures
• 1:14:08
  very much and loves to talk about that.
• 1:14:11
  And I think that's super interesting.
• 1:14:14
  Her family is super supportive.
• 1:14:16
  They're at everything she ever does.
• 1:14:17
  There's not even a mention
• 1:14:18
  of her family in this Road to the Games.
• 1:14:22
  We all know Abigail Domet
• 1:14:25
  was a fitness model before
• 1:14:26
  she was a CrossFitter.
• 1:14:28
  No mention of that.
• 1:14:29
  That she moved all over the
• 1:14:30
  country because of things
• 1:14:33
  her dad did as a professional.
• 1:14:35
  None of that mentioned.
• 1:14:37
  The only thing they talked
• 1:14:38
  about with her is how to
• 1:14:38
  smuggle a burrito into a movie.
• 1:14:47
  it looked good.
• 1:14:49
  Like filming was great, but, but it's,
• 1:14:51
  it's again, it's all workout montage.
• 1:14:55
  Craig, I know fees talked about all that,
• 1:14:57
  but we haven't seen it.
• 1:14:59
  Have we seen her play the violin?
• 1:15:01
  Have we seen her practice a violin?
• 1:15:03
  Have we seen her like
• 1:15:05
  pictures and footage of
• 1:15:07
  when she used to be do that?
• 1:15:10
  Um,
• 1:15:12
  it's one thing to hear her
• 1:15:13
  tell the story on a podcast.
• 1:15:15
  It's another thing to tell
• 1:15:16
  that story with pictures
• 1:15:18
  and video to give you the
• 1:15:20
  full flavor of like how
• 1:15:22
  good of a violinist she was.
• 1:15:26
  You can't tell me,
• 1:15:28
  you can't tell me that her
• 1:15:30
  family as supportive as
• 1:15:31
  they are at every single
• 1:15:32
  event have not taken a
• 1:15:34
  video of her playing violin.
• 1:15:35
  Right.
• 1:15:36
  Right.
• 1:15:44
  And the only reason I've
• 1:15:45
  heard all these stories is
• 1:15:46
  because I ask these things on the podcast,
• 1:15:48
  but I don't get to show it.
• 1:15:50
  Right.
• 1:15:51
  Well,
• 1:15:51
  maybe they need to not go interview
• 1:15:54
  the athletes or go get
• 1:15:55
  workout footage of the athletes.
• 1:15:56
  Maybe they need to go get
• 1:15:59
  some home stories of the athletes.
• 1:16:02
  Go speak to their coach, their parents,
• 1:16:06
  their grandparents,
• 1:16:07
  and get some background story.
• 1:16:09
  Like, parents would love to...
• 1:16:12
  like brag about their kids.
• 1:16:15
  Isn't that what the old road
• 1:16:16
  to the games was more of?
• 1:16:20
  We learn more about the home.
• 1:16:21
  Yeah.
• 1:16:23
  We learned more about their home life.
• 1:16:28
  Yeah.
• 1:16:28
  It seemed like it was more
• 1:16:29
  like a day in the life of,
• 1:16:30
  and it was just like a day
• 1:16:31
  in the life of their
• 1:16:32
  training and then what they did that day.
• 1:16:35
  That's what it was more like
• 1:16:37
  a day in the life of Abbey
• 1:16:39
  Domet or piece of coffee.
• 1:16:42
  Yes, Ken, like Hiller's been doing.
• 1:16:44
  Yes.
• 1:16:45
  Like we said last week with the last one,
• 1:16:48
  Hiller's Hopper video and
• 1:16:52
  Laura Horvath's WFP video
• 1:16:55
  to me are the A pluses of the year.
• 1:16:59
  Everything else is graded
• 1:17:00
  off of that right now.
• 1:17:05
  That's what the old road to the games was.
• 1:17:09
  And this is not it.
• 1:17:10
  Right.
• 1:17:16
  And Train to Live,
• 1:17:18
  hometown visit like The Bachelor.
• 1:17:19
  Well, I've never watched The Bachelor,
• 1:17:21
  but I have watched American Idol.
• 1:17:22
  They used to do the hometown
• 1:17:23
  visits with the contestants there.
• 1:17:26
  And that was one of their biggest episodes,
• 1:17:28
  getting to go home and
• 1:17:30
  perform in front of their
• 1:17:31
  home crowd and do all that kind of stuff.
• 1:17:33
  And you got to see kind of
• 1:17:34
  where they were from.
• 1:17:35
  That's the stuff that's really cool.
• 1:17:38
  Going to Jacksonville with
• 1:17:40
  Fee is less appealing to me
• 1:17:44
  than going to Cleveland with
• 1:17:46
  Fee and seeing where she grew up.
• 1:17:50
  That's what they did with Laura Horvat.
• 1:17:52
  They went to where she grew up,
• 1:17:53
  and they're like her old grade school,
• 1:17:54
  her old middle school,
• 1:17:56
  and the gym that her parents owned.
• 1:17:58
  That's what was cool.
• 1:17:59
  I don't know.
• 1:18:06
  Kenneth the Lap says,
• 1:18:07
  have you seen Hiller's hip
• 1:18:08
  and steel video?
• 1:18:09
  Yes.
• 1:18:15
  That was a really good one, too.
• 1:18:18
  To find out that a man puts
• 1:18:19
  muscle-up rings in his
• 1:18:20
  living room and into the
• 1:18:22
  hallway to his upstairs.
• 1:18:25
  Yeah.
• 1:18:29
  That's the stuff that's gold.
• 1:18:32
  Not the working out in the garage.
• 1:18:33
  It's the finding out that he
• 1:18:36
  needs to stretch out his
• 1:18:37
  arms so much that he has a
• 1:18:38
  pair of rings in his living
• 1:18:39
  room to stretch while he's watching TV.
• 1:18:45
  And the only place he can
• 1:18:46
  muscle up to be warm in the
• 1:18:47
  winter is in the staircase
• 1:18:49
  to his second floor.
• 1:18:54
  Yeah, that's the stuff that's missing,
• 1:18:55
  in my opinion.
• 1:18:58
  Yeah,
• 1:18:59
  because then it's just a training and
• 1:19:01
  you're not getting anything else,
• 1:19:03
  especially if that's like
• 1:19:03
  all they're doing during
• 1:19:04
  the day because they don't have like,
• 1:19:06
  they're just training.
• 1:19:07
  They're being full-time
• 1:19:07
  athletes training for the games.
• 1:19:08
  Like you're not,
• 1:19:09
  you can see that on their
• 1:19:10
  Instagram any other day.
• 1:19:12
  of what their regular day looks like.
• 1:19:14
  So that's why I didn't bring as much,
• 1:19:16
  but it just has good quality of footage,
• 1:19:18
  like you said.
• 1:19:22
  Yeah.
• 1:19:24
  Yeah, I thought it was cool.
• 1:19:28
  Did they say who the next athletes are?
• 1:19:30
  Yeah, it's Hopper and Dallin.
• 1:19:33
  Oh, boy.
• 1:19:36
  They should just do theirs together.
• 1:19:37
  It should just be one video.
• 1:19:42
  They have a... This is going
• 1:19:45
  to get me in trouble.
• 1:19:45
  Last time I said it's going
• 1:19:46
  to get me in trouble.
• 1:19:47
  Like, okay, we've been down that road.
• 1:19:52
  How about you give me a road
• 1:19:53
  to the games Reese Littlewood?
• 1:19:56
  I don't know enough about her.
• 1:19:58
  That's someone I'm starving
• 1:19:59
  to know about now.
• 1:20:01
  But it's almost too late in the season.
• 1:20:03
  Yeah.
• 1:20:05
  Because that should have
• 1:20:06
  started way earlier.
• 1:20:07
  Yeah,
• 1:20:08
  but then we got to see them at their
• 1:20:11
  qualification.
• 1:20:12
  We only have one qualification left.
• 1:20:15
  You do the Reese Littlewood
• 1:20:16
  three months ago, or two months ago,
• 1:20:18
  and then you see her compete now.
• 1:20:21
  And you're waiting for her to see,
• 1:20:23
  is she going to qualify?
• 1:20:24
  Is she going to qualify?
• 1:20:25
  We now know the name and
• 1:20:26
  we're waiting for her when she starts.
• 1:20:28
  You know, you throw that one, I don't know,
• 1:20:31
  the week before she competes.
• 1:20:33
  And everyone's got eyes on
• 1:20:35
  Reese Littlewood that weekend.
• 1:20:37
  But at this point, it's too late.
• 1:20:40
  I think if you're going to
• 1:20:41
  do someone that's like,
• 1:20:44
  you would have to throw
• 1:20:45
  something right now for
• 1:20:46
  someone that's competing at NorCal.
• 1:20:47
  Yeah.
• 1:20:50
  and hope that they're in the
• 1:20:52
  mix and follow them the
• 1:20:54
  whole weekend at NorCal.
• 1:20:57
  I think, I think you gotta do it before.
• 1:20:59
  Yeah.
• 1:20:59
  Before you got to know the
• 1:21:00
  name and then follow them there and see,
• 1:21:02
  and then you can see how
• 1:21:04
  they did and whatnot.
• 1:21:05
  I agree a little bit with Carolyn.
• 1:21:06
  Cause like you want to, I think what's,
• 1:21:08
  what's missing for some people is, I mean,
• 1:21:12
  the heat one app is good.
• 1:21:14
  If you know anything about
• 1:21:17
  some of these athletes.
• 1:21:18
  And so like,
• 1:21:20
  to your point, if two months ago,
• 1:21:22
  we would have had some
• 1:21:23
  footage or even literally three weeks ago,
• 1:21:25
  like a road to the games of
• 1:21:27
  Reese little would have come out and
• 1:21:29
  it would have said,
• 1:21:30
  and it would have showed
• 1:21:31
  like that she was a gymnast.
• 1:21:33
  Like people would have known
• 1:21:34
  to look for her in those events.
• 1:21:36
  They would have been like, she like,
• 1:21:38
  you know,
• 1:21:39
  that you would know more about
• 1:21:41
  their strengths and weaknesses,
• 1:21:42
  what to expect out of them.
• 1:21:43
  You would know who's going
• 1:21:44
  to kill heavy Isabel other
• 1:21:46
  than just looking at, I mean,
• 1:21:47
  we've done enough heavy
• 1:21:48
  Isabel's that you could
• 1:21:49
  look at the in affiliate
• 1:21:51
  semifinals and see people's
• 1:21:52
  times and have an idea.
• 1:21:54
  But like,
• 1:21:55
  like I was the only one who
• 1:21:57
  picked Rachel Klausen for running.
• 1:22:00
  So, like,
• 1:22:01
  if you could get stories for
• 1:22:02
  Reese or someone like
• 1:22:03
  Rachel and people would be like,
• 1:22:05
  that's the runner.
• 1:22:06
  That's who we need to watch
• 1:22:07
  for in this event.
• 1:22:08
  Like,
• 1:22:10
  nobody even knew to watch for her in
• 1:22:11
  that event.
• 1:22:13
  Yeah, you called that one.
• 1:22:15
  I called it on show.
• 1:22:16
  Picked it.
• 1:22:19
  I knew she'd find a way for
• 1:22:20
  the humble brag.
• 1:22:24
  But you want, if people,
• 1:22:26
  if people have those stories,
• 1:22:27
  they can root for those athletes.
• 1:22:28
  They're like that.
• 1:22:30
  I mean, in a way that's,
• 1:22:30
  what's cool about heat one,
• 1:22:32
  but you've got to know
• 1:22:32
  something about people for it to work.
• 1:22:34
  You're just,
• 1:22:35
  you're going off John saying
• 1:22:37
  this is who he picked and
• 1:22:39
  you're trying to like follow along,
• 1:22:41
  but it'd be nice to know
• 1:22:44
  some more tidbits about people.
• 1:22:46
  Yeah.
• 1:22:47
  I know what you're talking about.
• 1:22:48
  Like I'm the only one that
• 1:22:49
  picked Spencer to win that event for.
• 1:22:51
  Yeah.
• 1:22:56
  Um,
• 1:22:57
  just had to get my humble brag in there.
• 1:23:00
  Um, all right.
• 1:23:01
  So the community,
• 1:23:02
  the community cup events are announced.
• 1:23:06
  Okay.
• 1:23:06
  When I share screen,
• 1:23:06
  I'll go blind from you guys.
• 1:23:08
  So I'm going to try to do this.
• 1:23:12
  How does that look?
• 1:23:13
  Can you see it?
• 1:23:14
  Yep.
• 1:23:15
  Okay.
• 1:23:18
  So workout one,
• 1:23:20
  this is for the pro division.
• 1:23:23
  The games have another post
• 1:23:26
  with all of the different
• 1:23:27
  divisions versions.
• 1:23:28
  Okay.
• 1:23:30
  So this is just the pro division.
• 1:23:33
  Pro is as many rounds and
• 1:23:34
  reps as possible in twenty
• 1:23:36
  minutes of fifteen box jump overs,
• 1:23:39
  ten dumbbell snatches,
• 1:23:40
  five strict handstand pushups,
• 1:23:43
  Uh, thirty five fifty on the dumbbell.
• 1:23:46
  Twenty four thirty on the box.
• 1:23:49
  Hmm.
• 1:23:51
  Interesting.
• 1:23:52
  This was submitted by CrossFit Train.
• 1:23:55
  Remember,
• 1:23:55
  these were all submitted by
• 1:23:57
  different coaches from around the world.
• 1:24:00
  They just said their affiliate.
• 1:24:03
  I think because they wanted
• 1:24:05
  to show that they're not from mayhem.
• 1:24:09
  No,
• 1:24:09
  those are the last chance qualifier ones.
• 1:24:11
  Okay.
• 1:24:13
  Because it's a mayhem muscle-up.
• 1:24:19
  Or hustle-up, I should say.
• 1:24:21
  Event two is complete as
• 1:24:24
  many reps as possible
• 1:24:25
  following the interval of two on, one off,
• 1:24:29
  three times,
• 1:24:30
  and then a final three minutes of work,
• 1:24:31
  very much like what
• 1:24:32
  happened at Syndicate.
• 1:24:34
  Rounds one and two, fifteen toes to bar,
• 1:24:36
  fifteen overhead squats, max calorie row.
• 1:24:40
  And then rounds three and four,
• 1:24:42
  fifteen calorie row,
• 1:24:44
  fifteen overhead squats,
• 1:24:46
  max bar muscle-ups.
• 1:24:48
  Seventy-five and one-fifteen
• 1:24:50
  are the weights.
• 1:24:53
  As you go, like, down into, like,
• 1:24:55
  the novice or whatever, it's, like,
• 1:24:57
  max chest-to-bar.
• 1:24:58
  Then it goes max pull-ups, max ring row.
• 1:25:01
  And then even the numbers of cals will go,
• 1:25:03
  like, ten and ten.
• 1:25:05
  Instead of the fifteen fifteen,
• 1:25:07
  just so that they can allow
• 1:25:08
  themselves time to get to.
• 1:25:10
  Yeah.
• 1:25:11
  On the first one,
• 1:25:12
  the box decrease in height.
• 1:25:14
  And at certain point,
• 1:25:15
  the it was hand release pushups,
• 1:25:19
  dumbbell snatches,
• 1:25:20
  and then the box step overs.
• 1:25:22
  And even the numbers went
• 1:25:23
  down to like a twelve nine three,
• 1:25:27
  maybe for the knee pushups
• 1:25:29
  or the hand release pushups on that one.
• 1:25:33
  And the dumbbell weight, too.
• 1:25:37
  And then finally,
• 1:25:38
  workout three is for everyone,
• 1:25:40
  and it does not change.
• 1:25:43
  It is in twenty minutes,
• 1:25:45
  establish a one rep max
• 1:25:47
  front squat and a one rep
• 1:25:49
  max hang power clean.
• 1:25:56
  This is what they picked, huh?
• 1:26:00
  Sorry, I forgot to give kudos.
• 1:26:03
  That one is from CrossFit OGC.
• 1:26:07
  The one in the middle was CrossFit Angola.
• 1:26:16
  There you have it.
• 1:26:17
  Your community cup workouts
• 1:26:19
  that nobody saw that were
• 1:26:19
  released on Friday.
• 1:26:21
  Thank you.
• 1:26:25
  Once you're done with the community cup,
• 1:26:27
  you'll get a ranking within your level.
• 1:26:32
  Do we think that a max lift
• 1:26:35
  just kind of changes that
• 1:26:36
  that's I feel like that's a
• 1:26:39
  little bit silly like it I
• 1:26:43
  get that we didn't do a max
• 1:26:44
  lift with the three from
• 1:26:45
  the from the open but the
• 1:26:47
  open just places you in a
• 1:26:48
  level and then you have
• 1:26:52
  what a twenty percent ish
• 1:26:55
  between each level um
• 1:27:00
  it's not straight twenty per level.
• 1:27:03
  Because, like, the pro's only, like,
• 1:27:04
  three percent.
• 1:27:05
  I like the second one.
• 1:27:07
  And then advanced is, like, seven, so on,
• 1:27:10
  but...
• 1:27:11
  The second one's fun.
• 1:27:13
  I think like, I like that.
• 1:27:14
  Like you have it one way
• 1:27:16
  until max cows and then it switches.
• 1:27:18
  And then some people can
• 1:27:21
  like kind of distinguish
• 1:27:22
  themselves within like the
• 1:27:24
  max bar muscle ups,
• 1:27:25
  chest to bar and whatnot.
• 1:27:27
  And then you have like the overhead squash,
• 1:27:29
  which is always difficult,
• 1:27:32
  especially mobility wise for, you know,
• 1:27:34
  people.
• 1:27:34
  So there's a separator there.
• 1:27:37
  Third one.
• 1:27:38
  I'm like, eh, the strength one.
• 1:27:40
  I think there was another
• 1:27:42
  way that they could have
• 1:27:43
  included like a strength workout.
• 1:27:45
  And then the first one is
• 1:27:46
  that typical long one.
• 1:27:49
  It's going to come down
• 1:27:49
  really just to who has the
• 1:27:51
  strict handstand pushups.
• 1:27:53
  Yes.
• 1:27:53
  Or like handstand pushups in general.
• 1:27:55
  Yes.
• 1:27:55
  Because I don't foresee the
• 1:27:57
  box jump overs with a step
• 1:27:59
  down mandated and the
• 1:28:01
  dumbbell snatch playing any
• 1:28:03
  major role in that workout.
• 1:28:04
  It's just a handstand pushup
• 1:28:05
  workout for twenty minutes.
• 1:28:08
  So, Lana, they are not...
• 1:28:11
  factoring in age this year for this at all,
• 1:28:14
  you will just be given on the app.
• 1:28:16
  You'll be given a level, not for your age,
• 1:28:19
  but just overall.
• 1:28:21
  Like I got an email with my level, um,
• 1:28:25
  different from what I had
• 1:28:26
  for the age group piece.
• 1:28:29
  And that's what you go by
• 1:28:30
  for these workouts.
• 1:28:32
  Dave did Santa's week in
• 1:28:33
  review that they would, um,
• 1:28:36
  they were going to add age in future years,
• 1:28:40
  but right now age groups
• 1:28:41
  are not a part of this.
• 1:28:44
  If you did the open,
• 1:28:45
  you got an email with your,
• 1:28:48
  your level and this announcement.
• 1:28:55
  So.
• 1:28:58
  Yeah.
• 1:28:58
  So you have from June nine to June,
• 1:29:01
  I think, to do them.
• 1:29:04
  Um,
• 1:29:05
  In the CAP programming,
• 1:29:06
  they put them like Monday, Tuesday,
• 1:29:07
  Wednesday, and then like a regular week.
• 1:29:12
  Our gym is going to do it the Monday,
• 1:29:13
  Wednesday, Friday,
• 1:29:14
  because we typically do
• 1:29:16
  partner workouts on
• 1:29:16
  Saturdays and stuff like that.
• 1:29:20
  be interesting to see um how
• 1:29:23
  many people sign up if it's
• 1:29:24
  popular if they continue to
• 1:29:26
  do this if they tweak it up
• 1:29:28
  for the following years um
• 1:29:31
  because they haven't talked
• 1:29:32
  like a ridiculous amount
• 1:29:33
  about it or maybe I you
• 1:29:35
  know they've thrown it in
• 1:29:36
  there a few times but it
• 1:29:37
  hasn't really been pushed
• 1:29:38
  that much um my my
• 1:29:42
  affiliate that I train at
• 1:29:43
  across the coliseum I don't
• 1:29:44
  think that we've really
• 1:29:44
  pushed very much on it but
• 1:29:47
  I know that we're
• 1:29:48
  programming them and maybe
• 1:29:51
  we'll put a push on it this
• 1:29:52
  upcoming week for people to sign up.
• 1:29:54
  What's the price of it?
• 1:29:56
  Because I know there's like
• 1:29:56
  a Yeti package for certain gyms.
• 1:29:59
  What's the incentive?
• 1:30:03
  There's a t-shirt package,
• 1:30:04
  so there's a couple different prices.
• 1:30:07
  I haven't looked exactly,
• 1:30:09
  but I think there are different options.
• 1:30:12
  I think the base package is twenty bucks.
• 1:30:14
  Okay.
• 1:30:15
  Just like the open.
• 1:30:17
  It should be.
• 1:30:18
  I mean,
• 1:30:19
  I think it's a great concept for
• 1:30:20
  people to do the open and
• 1:30:22
  then a few months later have another,
• 1:30:23
  you know,
• 1:30:24
  competition to train for and
• 1:30:28
  just see where they stack
• 1:30:29
  up again against more of their field.
• 1:30:33
  But I find like a maximum.
• 1:30:34
  It would be for the shirt.
• 1:30:37
  So, twenty bucks without?
• 1:30:40
  I think so.
• 1:30:41
  Okay.
• 1:30:41
  So, somewhere to.
• 1:30:42
  Yeah.
• 1:30:42
  Jay Burch is saying twenty and forty.
• 1:30:46
  Oh, and you get the nutrition course too.
• 1:30:47
  I heard that, yeah.
• 1:30:48
  For the forty bucks.
• 1:30:50
  So you get forty with a
• 1:30:51
  shirt and the one day nutrition course.
• 1:30:55
  Is that the one day,
• 1:30:57
  like the one that's already on the,
• 1:31:01
  for the CEUs?
• 1:31:03
  I believe so.
• 1:31:04
  Okay.
• 1:31:11
  And then that same weekend
• 1:31:13
  is the last chance qualifier.
• 1:31:14
  Am I wrong thinking that?
• 1:31:17
  I don't remember.
• 1:31:18
  Good point by CrossFat.
• 1:31:20
  The forty comes with the
• 1:31:21
  online nutrition course,
• 1:31:22
  which is cheaper than the course.
• 1:31:24
  And if you need your CEUs,
• 1:31:26
  so if you're a level three
• 1:31:27
  or a level four who needs CEUs,
• 1:31:29
  it's a cheap way to get you your CEUs.
• 1:31:35
  Yeah,
• 1:31:35
  the last chance qualifier is so the
• 1:31:38
  Community Cup is the ninth
• 1:31:39
  to the fifteenth.
• 1:31:40
  The last chance qualifier
• 1:31:40
  starts the twelfth.
• 1:31:42
  And then you have the first
• 1:31:43
  three events due on the fourteenth.
• 1:31:45
  And then the last two events
• 1:31:47
  due on the Sunday.
• 1:31:49
  So for the last chance qualifier,
• 1:31:50
  they're putting windows for
• 1:31:53
  the athletes to submit the score.
• 1:31:54
  And they didn't do that for the semifinal.
• 1:31:56
  So that's very interesting to me.
• 1:31:58
  And you also need the two
• 1:31:59
  judges the same as and an affiliate.
• 1:32:03
  The same that we did for the
• 1:32:04
  online semis is for the
• 1:32:07
  same rules apply for the
• 1:32:08
  last chance qualifier.
• 1:32:10
  Because we received an email on that.
• 1:32:14
  this week this past week I
• 1:32:19
  wonder if any of these
• 1:32:20
  workouts overlap with the
• 1:32:22
  like if any of these ones
• 1:32:23
  will be in the last chance
• 1:32:27
  I don't know let's wait
• 1:32:28
  till NorCal is hot and
• 1:32:29
  heavy going then they'll
• 1:32:30
  release that information
• 1:32:31
  yeah Friday afternoon dog
• 1:32:36
  with a bone dog with a bone
• 1:32:38
  right here alright guys
• 1:32:43
  We are past our time,
• 1:32:44
  but it was a busy weekend.
• 1:32:50
  Taylor Self says they will not.
• 1:32:54
  The workouts will not overlap.
• 1:32:58
  He must have some inside intel.
• 1:33:00
  Maybe he's a tester.
• 1:33:06
  Aren't the last chance
• 1:33:07
  qualifiers programmed by
• 1:33:08
  the community too,
• 1:33:09
  or are they programmed by CrossFit?
• 1:33:10
  That's what was announced.
• 1:33:12
  Yeah,
• 1:33:12
  I thought the last chance qualifiers
• 1:33:13
  were programmed by the community as well.
• 1:33:16
  They said submit.
• 1:33:18
  I mean, I'm sure they're different.
• 1:33:20
  I would assume they're different too.
• 1:33:21
  I hope they're different.
• 1:33:23
  Taylor says he's guessing.
• 1:33:24
  Yeah.
• 1:33:25
  Yeah,
• 1:33:25
  we don't want to get anybody in trouble.
• 1:33:27
  Okay.
• 1:33:27
  All right.
• 1:33:33
  Well, guys.
• 1:33:33
  Congrats to all the
• 1:33:35
  qualifying athletes this weekend.
• 1:33:36
  Yeah.
• 1:33:39
  Yeah.
• 1:33:40
  Six people going to the games.
• 1:33:42
  Awesome.
• 1:33:45
  Since Taylor's there,
• 1:33:46
  great interview with Ben
• 1:33:47
  Smith to start off the weekend.
• 1:33:49
  Really, really love that.
• 1:33:52
  I thought you did awesome
• 1:33:53
  with the post-event interviews.
• 1:33:56
  We did really well.
• 1:33:59
  With that, guys,
• 1:34:02
  I will not be here tomorrow
• 1:34:03
  for lunch with the Clydesdale.
• 1:34:05
  Okay, one little mini riff before we go.
• 1:34:10
  Little mini riff.
• 1:34:12
  I've had the same template
• 1:34:13
  for thumbnail for Lunch
• 1:34:14
  with the Clydesdale for a while.
• 1:34:18
  Why does Talking Elite
• 1:34:19
  Fitness need to steal my
• 1:34:20
  template to use for their stuff now?
• 1:34:27
  You did too good of a job.
• 1:34:29
  Really?
• 1:34:31
  I'm just a little peon over
• 1:34:32
  here in the corner.
• 1:34:33
  You guys are big corporate.
• 1:34:35
  I have tons of people working for you.
• 1:34:37
  You can't make your own damn template?
• 1:34:40
  Come on.
• 1:34:41
  Now I'm going to have to
• 1:34:44
  change mine again.
• 1:34:46
  But anyway,
• 1:34:46
  no lunch with Clydesdale
• 1:34:47
  tomorrow because I have a
• 1:34:50
  funeral to go to.
• 1:34:51
  But then I'll get back to
• 1:34:52
  Columbus tomorrow night.
• 1:34:54
  And then we'll be back at it on Tuesday.
