• 0:58
  I was glued to my phone the
• 1:00
  entire time I was doing
• 1:02
  anything from Friday
• 1:03
  afternoon all the way through Sunday.
• 1:07
  So, you know,
• 1:08
  I always say this show is unscripted.
• 1:10
  Can you verify that?
• 1:12
  But yeah, we are 100% unscripted.
• 1:16
  Yes, indeed.
• 1:17
  Yeah, it's nighttime, Nick.
• 1:18
  That's what the problem is.
• 1:20
  It's dark.
• 1:20
  Yeah, the Sunday night show,
• 1:22
  very much scripted, very much notes.
• 1:24
  So we're all on the same page.
• 1:26
  We're all across the country.
• 1:28
  This one, we just take a go.
• 1:31
  100%.
• 1:32
  I don't even have any cuffs to go off of,
• 1:34
  so we're good.
• 1:36
  Yeah.
• 1:37
  So first things first, man,
• 1:39
  did you get Murfinn?
• 1:41
  Yes.
• 1:42
  Well, scale.
• 1:44
  My plantar fasciitis in my right foot is,
• 1:47
  as of this morning,
• 1:48
  probably about 90% or so.
• 1:50
  Didn't feel too bad today.
• 1:51
  Still going to get some
• 1:52
  treatment tomorrow.
• 1:53
  So I did 5K on the Echo bike
• 1:57
  and then another 5K on the
• 1:59
  Echo bike and did 20 rounds.
• 2:00
  Well,
• 2:00
  I should have done 20 rounds of Cindy.
• 2:02
  I did 10 rounds of Cindy.
• 2:04
  10, 20, 30, as far as the pull-ups,
• 2:08
  push-ups and squats were
• 2:09
  concerned in the middle and
• 2:10
  a 5k echo bike to start and finish it.
• 2:13
  So, yeah, I mean, I did Murph.
• 2:15
  I just need to do it the only way I could.
• 2:18
  Yeah.
• 2:18
  The second bike was interesting.
• 2:21
  Yeah.
• 2:22
  Cause I, I did half Murph and I did,
• 2:24
  I did a mile.
• 2:26
  So 1600 front 1600 back at
• 2:27
  1600 back was horrible.
• 2:28
  Oh yeah.
• 2:28
  Horrible.
• 2:34
  Absolutely.
• 2:35
  The second run, anytime I, since in the,
• 2:39
  I think I got it low nine
• 2:40
  times and in the six years
• 2:43
  I've been doing CrossFit,
• 2:45
  the second run is always
• 2:46
  what gets me like first run
• 2:48
  feeling fantastic, getting out there,
• 2:50
  getting after it.
• 2:50
  And the second run is just
• 2:52
  basically a trilogy just to
• 2:53
  try to finish it up.
• 2:55
  Yeah.
• 2:56
  The last time I did it,
• 2:57
  full version um I cramped up
• 3:01
  bad man on that last run
• 3:03
  like I'm the calves almost
• 3:06
  the whole way stop and
• 3:07
  stretch and start running
• 3:09
  again stretch it fun fact
• 3:12
  is that so murph yesterday
• 3:14
  and then uh mr brandon
• 3:16
  luckett uh who you know
• 3:18
  iman company program and
• 3:19
  went ahead and programmed
• 3:20
  heavy back squats today so
• 3:22
  Went in there this morning
• 3:23
  and 300-yard squats
• 3:24
  yesterday and squatted 355
• 3:27
  for six this morning at the
• 3:28
  end of all that.
• 3:31
  I feel great.
• 3:34
  Yeah.
• 3:35
  Get that blood flowing again, man.
• 3:37
  Absolutely.
• 3:38
  Absolutely.
• 3:39
  He literally told me sorry, not sorry.
• 3:42
  So let me ask you this.
• 3:43
  When I first met you,
• 3:44
  you were doing comp train, right?
• 3:46
  Yes.
• 3:47
  And now you're doing EMOM?
• 3:49
  Yep.
• 3:50
  Since right after MFC last year.
• 3:53
  Someone came to do some smack talking.
• 3:56
  Yeah, buddy.
• 3:58
  What's up, Charlie?
• 4:00
  What's up?
• 4:02
  I wasn't going to come on,
• 4:03
  but I saw you on here and I said,
• 4:04
  I can't allow this.
• 4:06
  Can't let, yeah.
• 4:07
  Hey, I don't blame you.
• 4:07
  I wouldn't let me be on here
• 4:08
  either if I was you.
• 4:12
  We got the,
• 4:13
  we got the all dude show today.
• 4:14
  There you go.
• 4:15
  Hey man.
• 4:16
  Absolutely.
• 4:18
  So speaking of programming, are you,
• 4:20
  are you still doing that, Charlie?
• 4:23
  Oh, the e-momster?
• 4:24
  Yeah.
• 4:26
  Well, I mean, it still comes to my phone.
• 4:33
  No, I did it last week.
• 4:34
  I just haven't done it this week.
• 4:36
  That Murph about wrecked me.
• 4:39
  I'm still recovering from that.
• 4:43
  Kenneth DeLapp says,
• 4:43
  the biggest driver in CrossFit.
• 4:47
  It's way worse than Rich and Matt.
• 4:49
  Yeah.
• 4:51
  What side you got, Kenneth?
• 4:54
  We just got to get the
• 4:55
  picture of you two shaking
• 4:56
  hands and like frowning.
• 4:57
  Yeah.
• 4:58
  The awkward.
• 4:58
  Yeah.
• 4:59
  The awkward kind of.
• 5:00
  Yeah.
• 5:00
  We're shaking hands.
• 5:01
  We're totally cool with each other.
• 5:06
  Right.
• 5:08
  Not even in the gym,
• 5:09
  in the lobby of a gym somewhere.
• 5:14
  I'm not working out with him.
• 5:15
  I'll just shake his hand.
• 5:17
  We just both happen to be here.
• 5:18
  Hey, let's take this picture right quick.
• 5:20
  Like, so people would leave us alone.
• 5:23
  it's fantastic.
• 5:24
  So Corey was telling me that
• 5:25
  he did Murph and then EMOM
• 5:27
  programmed heavy back
• 5:28
  squats the next day.
• 5:31
  Yeah, like eight at 65%, eight at 70%,
• 5:35
  and then six at, and then six at,
• 5:40
  and like the last one was
• 5:41
  like 85% or something like that.
• 5:42
  It was fun.
• 5:46
  I heard, Charlie,
• 5:47
  your Murph went pretty good.
• 5:50
  I mean, I didn't beat a record, but
• 5:54
  I can tell right now I'm not
• 5:56
  as spry as I used to be.
• 6:00
  But I'm still in my prime.
• 6:03
  Absolutely.
• 6:05
  Absolutely.
• 6:08
  Kenneth says eight back squats.
• 6:09
  That's cardio, man.
• 6:11
  Yeah, Ken.
• 6:12
  Try them at 295.
• 6:14
  Let me know how that works out.
• 6:17
  I mean, I was definitely breathing hard,
• 6:18
  if that's what you call in cardio,
• 6:19
  for sure.
• 6:21
  Write that part down.
• 6:24
  Well,
• 6:24
  after my half Murph man on Sunday morning,
• 6:26
  I woke up yesterday.
• 6:28
  My back hurts so bad.
• 6:30
  Not hurt was sore.
• 6:32
  Be clear.
• 6:32
  I did not hurt my back, but man,
• 6:34
  I was sore.
• 6:35
  I don't know if it's just
• 6:36
  all the core that Murph takes, but damn.
• 6:42
  Feel better today though.
• 6:47
  So ready to get back at it.
• 6:53
  Anderson says,
• 6:54
  any heavy weight past two reps is cardio.
• 6:59
  I don't disagree with that, Andrew.
• 7:01
  I would rather do one really
• 7:03
  heavy one than seven not
• 7:04
  quite so heavy ones any day of the week.
• 7:07
  What was that workout we did that one time,
• 7:09
  Charlie, where it was a partner workout,
• 7:12
  30 bench press, 30 squats,
• 7:17
  30 deadlifts or something like that?
• 7:19
  Yeah, that sounds about right.
• 7:21
  Was it heavy, though?
• 7:23
  Yeah.
• 7:25
  But we, I mean, you and I were all giddy.
• 7:28
  I mean, that was our, that was,
• 7:30
  that was our wheelhouse
• 7:31
  workout right there.
• 7:35
  I'd be down with that.
• 7:35
  That sounds like fun.
• 7:38
  It was.
• 7:38
  Yeah.
• 7:39
  And we were just trying to go as of course,
• 7:40
  cause we were trying to win
• 7:41
  because we thought it was a
• 7:43
  wheelhouse go as fast as possible.
• 7:46
  But I'll tell you my man, Charlie,
• 7:47
  like his,
• 7:48
  his bench press endurance is freakish.
• 7:53
  I can put up some weight,
• 7:54
  but I can't do it for as
• 7:55
  many reps as he can.
• 7:57
  That's all I got.
• 7:59
  Well, that's the best I don't have.
• 8:03
  Me and Alex Kazan have the
• 8:07
  same one-grab max.
• 8:11
  I mean,
• 8:12
  that's not – he's probably got
• 8:16
  bigger than a lot of people.
• 8:19
  just saying like I saw her
• 8:21
  put up two 65 and I was like, Oh,
• 8:23
  that's fantastic.
• 8:24
  Me too.
• 8:28
  Yeah.
• 8:28
  Well, speaking of Alex Kazan,
• 8:30
  she just did the work,
• 8:31
  the semifinals last weekend.
• 8:34
  Any thoughts about what we
• 8:35
  just saw last weekend?
• 8:38
  Dude, she looked strong and fit.
• 8:43
  Sweet Jesus.
• 8:44
  Like that last event, especially like,
• 8:47
  Like she was shot out of a cannon.
• 8:48
  I mean,
• 8:49
  lunge all the way across the line
• 8:50
  with them two seventies.
• 8:52
  I was telling my wife,
• 8:53
  I was like looking at their times,
• 8:55
  like the women's times with
• 8:56
  the women's dumbbells.
• 8:57
  I said,
• 8:57
  I don't think I'd have finished
• 8:59
  that in twice that cap,
• 9:01
  much less what they were
• 9:02
  doing it in what she was like two 55,
• 9:05
  three, right at three minutes.
• 9:07
  It was insane.
• 9:09
  Her and Kirsten are put on a
• 9:10
  show on Sunday that well,
• 9:12
  just there's no way anybody
• 9:14
  in the East beats.
• 9:15
  No, I don't think so either.
• 9:17
  Not on that one, that's for sure.
• 9:19
  I felt bad for Olivia.
• 9:23
  What, sub four?
• 9:26
  Nobody else went sub five?
• 9:28
  Yeah.
• 9:31
  She's strong, dude.
• 9:32
  She is so strong, and she's technical.
• 9:34
  She didn't just muscle it up there.
• 9:37
  They all look phenomenal.
• 9:40
  The kid's insane.
• 9:43
  Any thoughts, Charlie?
• 9:45
  Did you get to watch any of it?
• 9:47
  I watched some of it.
• 9:48
  Is Cole still in?
• 9:49
  I'm not sure.
• 9:52
  Grace Hibber or Sager?
• 9:54
  Sager.
• 9:56
  They're both in.
• 9:57
  They're both in, actually, yeah.
• 9:59
  That's impressive to me that
• 10:00
  Cole made it again.
• 10:03
  11 years in a row.
• 10:04
  Right.
• 10:06
  He's getting up there.
• 10:07
  Him and BKG, the only two to do it.
• 10:13
  And doing their whatever their program,
• 10:15
  if anybody still follows that.
• 10:17
  business yeah cole sager the
• 10:21
  lone the lone ranger for
• 10:23
  the uh comp train program
• 10:25
  carrying the flag what's
• 10:29
  hilarious about that for me
• 10:30
  is that he was supposed to
• 10:32
  retire you remember that
• 10:33
  like at the games last year
• 10:34
  he's like ah this is my
• 10:35
  last year I'm not doing
• 10:36
  anymore I'll be coaching
• 10:37
  the elites and whatnot now
• 10:38
  he's like well I qualified so yeah
• 10:42
  And we don't have any elites to coach,
• 10:44
  so I might as well just coach myself.
• 10:47
  That's what he meant.
• 10:48
  I'm coaching myself.
• 10:49
  Yeah.
• 10:50
  By elites, I mean I'm coaching me.
• 10:56
  Yeah, I felt most bummed for Tudor.
• 10:59
  I'm a big Tudor fan.
• 11:01
  I think he's right on the cusp.
• 11:06
  the fact he got no rep for
• 11:08
  touching the line when
• 11:09
  other people didn't get
• 11:10
  that on the handstand walk,
• 11:13
  that may have made the
• 11:14
  difference of him qualifying or not.
• 11:16
  Three points out.
• 11:19
  Felt bad for that.
• 11:21
  Who's he with right now?
• 11:23
  He has this guy, Ed, that is his coach.
• 11:26
  It's not a camp.
• 11:29
  Just some guy named Ed?
• 11:31
  Like you run into him at
• 11:32
  Walmart or something?
• 11:33
  I think that's the mystique
• 11:35
  of it all is it's just this guy named Ed.
• 11:38
  He's actually been around
• 11:39
  the space a long time.
• 11:41
  But, you know, if you saw him,
• 11:44
  you would go, oh, gosh,
• 11:45
  I've seen that guy around.
• 11:47
  Roger that.
• 11:48
  Roger that.
• 11:50
  I mean,
• 11:50
  he should just go by some guy named Ed.
• 11:52
  Ed Coaching.
• 11:54
  Good fan.
• 11:56
  I mean, he's a big dude too.
• 11:59
  Ed is a big dude.
• 11:59
  So big Ed.
• 12:01
  Big Ed.
• 12:03
  Big Ed's elite CrossFit coaching.
• 12:07
  Yes, indeed.
• 12:09
  Elite coaching and firework sales.
• 12:13
  You're big Ed's.
• 12:15
  Yes.
• 12:16
  Yeah.
• 12:22
  And then at the top,
• 12:23
  like I said this the other night,
• 12:25
  James Sprague went from
• 12:27
  bubble athlete to elite
• 12:29
  athlete this weekend.
• 12:30
  And talked a lot of stuff.
• 12:33
  I liked it.
• 12:35
  I like how he called his
• 12:36
  shot when they were asking him, you know,
• 12:39
  who would you pick on the
• 12:41
  shot caller for the Heat 1 app?
• 12:42
  And he was like,
• 12:43
  I would pick James Sprague.
• 12:45
  And he won.
• 12:45
  Yeah.
• 12:48
  Um,
• 12:49
  I have been saying this for a while now.
• 12:50
  You either love James
• 12:51
  Sprague or you're wrong.
• 12:52
  Like there's no in between.
• 12:54
  That dude is always on the up and up.
• 12:57
  He's always positive, right?
• 12:58
  Even when stuff's going bad,
• 12:59
  he's still like, okay, okay.
• 13:01
  Just moving right along.
• 13:02
  He's a big puppy dog.
• 13:03
  Uh,
• 13:04
  and then just to see him come out and
• 13:06
  win that first event, like that,
• 13:07
  like he did, dude, that was ridiculous.
• 13:12
  And what about, uh,
• 13:13
  Charlie's favorite athlete,
• 13:14
  Justin Medeiros?
• 13:20
  I just chill up and do things.
• 13:23
  Mr. Consistency.
• 13:25
  No event wins.
• 13:27
  End of the weekend.
• 13:28
  Sitting on top.
• 13:31
  I mean, that's what it takes, right?
• 13:33
  Being consistent.
• 13:34
  You ain't got to win.
• 13:35
  I mean,
• 13:35
  he proved that before anybody else did.
• 13:37
  Well,
• 13:38
  I would say Matt probably did it in
• 13:39
  his first year because he
• 13:40
  only had like one event win.
• 13:43
  But the two years Justin won in a row,
• 13:45
  he won what?
• 13:45
  One event?
• 13:47
  Maybe two?
• 13:48
  Something like that.
• 13:50
  He also proved it's a
• 13:51
  razor's edge playing that one.
• 13:54
  Yeah, absolutely.
• 13:56
  Yeah, it could also go horribly wrong.
• 14:01
  But nobody plays that game
• 14:03
  better than he does.
• 14:06
  So there it is, man.
• 14:08
  The real important thing is Amy made it.
• 14:13
  Kringle, that is.
• 14:15
  Yeah.
• 14:16
  You weren't on last week's show to like
• 14:18
  For Joyce, man.
• 14:19
  Well, I had to bring it back up because.
• 14:21
  Because nobody else did.
• 14:23
  Yeah.
• 14:27
  Amy Kringle was incredible in Europe.
• 14:28
  Like her improvement over the last year,
• 14:32
  late years.
• 14:34
  See, I'm on a streak.
• 14:39
  Okay.
• 14:41
  Charlie's been on the Amy
• 14:42
  Kringle bandwagon for, I think, 73 years.
• 14:46
  It finally came true.
• 14:48
  Before that was from Think Tank.
• 14:54
  Alexis Raptus.
• 14:55
  Yep.
• 14:55
  Oh, Raptus.
• 14:56
  He was so on board,
• 14:57
  he can't remember her name now.
• 14:58
  That's right.
• 14:59
  He loves them and leaves them, man.
• 15:01
  Just when you're all the way
• 15:02
  in it like that, names become irrelevant.
• 15:04
  Listen, I was at Daniel Brandon train,
• 15:07
  and she had black hair.
• 15:12
  not everybody hates her
• 15:12
  allegedly I don't know how
• 15:16
  to say how anybody could
• 15:17
  hate danielle brandon she
• 15:19
  has an attitude she is
• 15:22
  somewhat emotionally
• 15:23
  unstable and she's a freak
• 15:25
  athlete like that to mean
• 15:27
  she's got all three things
• 15:28
  yep that's probably why I
• 15:30
  think the documentary did a
• 15:32
  lot for her yeah absolutely
• 15:35
  absolutely absolutely I
• 15:38
  mean I think it it
• 15:40
  it's always good to
• 15:40
  highlight like where you come from,
• 15:42
  why you are the person that you are.
• 15:45
  Once people kind of figure that out,
• 15:46
  they can kind of make a decision.
• 15:47
  Oh, Hey, okay.
• 15:49
  Maybe I do actually like this person.
• 15:52
  Good stuff.
• 15:53
  Danielle has been nothing
• 15:54
  but kind to me in person.
• 15:56
  Like I, I cannot say a bad word about her.
• 15:59
  She's always very nice to me.
• 16:01
  She's always willing to talk.
• 16:02
  She's always cool to hang out.
• 16:04
  Like, you know,
• 16:07
  I think people get upset or
• 16:11
  emotional in their feelings
• 16:12
  when they see her on the
• 16:12
  floor and she's reacting to
• 16:14
  the things that's happening to her.
• 16:16
  Like whenever she couldn't
• 16:17
  figure out the crossovers a
• 16:19
  couple of years ago or whatnot,
• 16:20
  and she's sitting on the floor going,
• 16:21
  you know, trying to figure it out.
• 16:23
  Well, she's human.
• 16:25
  I'd have been doing the same
• 16:26
  thing if I'd have been her.
• 16:27
  Like she wears the emotions on her sleeve.
• 16:29
  There's nothing wrong with that.
• 16:31
  It's just, oh, she's dropping F-bombs.
• 16:33
  Yeah, on ESPN, she most certainly did.
• 16:37
  Like, she's a real human being.
• 16:39
  She is a person.
• 16:40
  So, yeah,
• 16:41
  she's going to mess up from time to time.
• 16:43
  Or I wouldn't even consider
• 16:44
  it to be messing up.
• 16:44
  She's just acting like she does.
• 16:47
  Right.
• 16:48
  I like that.
• 16:49
  Adults do in the real world.
• 16:51
  Yes.
• 16:51
  100%.
• 16:51
  100%.
• 16:51
  Yes.
• 16:55
  Is this the Corey Leonard?
• 16:57
  It is.
• 16:59
  One and only.
• 17:00
  One and only.
• 17:01
  You talking about that from Pat McAfee?
• 17:05
  What's that?
• 17:06
  Like adults do in the real world.
• 17:08
  Yeah.
• 17:09
  Yeah.
• 17:11
  Yeah.
• 17:14
  So a couple things about
• 17:15
  West Coast to finish up.
• 17:16
  We have Abby Domet, who won,
• 17:20
  kind of the Justin Medeiros way.
• 17:22
  Yep.
• 17:24
  Um, we have Alex and Ariel there.
• 17:26
  Uh, Hattie Cano, our girl, uh, did, did,
• 17:31
  did the show from Bali all off season.
• 17:34
  She, she kills it and makes it in.
• 17:38
  Um,
• 17:39
  and then Danny Spiegel makes it in a
• 17:41
  lot of people.
• 17:43
  Girl is fit.
• 17:44
  Like you can say what you
• 17:45
  want about her and people pile on her.
• 17:47
  She's, she is really fit.
• 17:49
  She just can't run.
• 17:51
  dex dex this morning on
• 17:53
  savant shows that was in
• 17:54
  the chat and he said it
• 17:55
  best he said danny's body
• 17:57
  looks like if you
• 17:58
  photoshopped her legs onto
• 18:00
  her top top like the two
• 18:02
  things just don't match up
• 18:03
  and that's why like she
• 18:05
  just can't run and that's
• 18:06
  fine like not everybody can
• 18:08
  do all of the things all of
• 18:10
  the time pat velner can't swim
• 18:15
  It has the worst CrossFit
• 18:17
  look on the planet.
• 18:19
  Between him dropping a chain
• 18:23
  on the bike ride to him
• 18:24
  having to chase a weight
• 18:25
  across the floor because
• 18:27
  it's rolling away from him.
• 18:29
  Poor Patty V can't catch a
• 18:31
  break half the time.
• 18:33
  But Darius doesn't have top end strength.
• 18:36
  Someone famously said that
• 18:37
  on a podcast one time.
• 18:38
  I don't remember who it was.
• 18:40
  Yeah.
• 18:44
  No one is denying her fitness.
• 18:45
  It's her personality.
• 18:49
  Sure.
• 18:52
  I was laughing because they
• 18:53
  said eight women qualifying
• 18:55
  from the West semifinals,
• 18:58
  like eight women.
• 18:58
  And then Danny Spiegel's
• 18:59
  eyelashes are qualifying from the West.
• 19:04
  Yeah.
• 19:05
  I am not a fake eyelash guy.
• 19:07
  I just don't understand it.
• 19:09
  When Bethany went that route, I was like,
• 19:11
  come on, Bethany.
• 19:11
  Come on.
• 19:12
  Listen, if you look good, you play good.
• 19:21
  HarleyMom223 says,
• 19:23
  does Kyra Milligan run well?
• 19:25
  Those bigger thighs make it hard to run.
• 19:29
  Danny Spiegel is fit.
• 19:31
  Yeah,
• 19:32
  Kyra has improved her running greatly
• 19:35
  over the last few years.
• 19:38
  I said it last year when I
• 19:39
  watched her live in Orlando.
• 19:41
  I felt she was the most
• 19:43
  improved athlete from the year before,
• 19:45
  from 22 to 23.
• 19:47
  But nobody was going to see
• 19:48
  it because she was on Mayhem, the team.
• 19:51
  And this year she qualifies for the games.
• 19:55
  And Sarah Cooper wants to
• 19:56
  remind me Bethany's eyelash
• 19:57
  is also qualified.
• 19:58
  What?
• 20:01
  A hundred percent.
• 20:01
  A hundred percent.
• 20:04
  We're going to talk about
• 20:06
  Colton Merton's doing a 265
• 20:08
  touch and go snatch.
• 20:09
  Can we talk about that for a second?
• 20:13
  It's one thing to do a 265
• 20:15
  touch and go snatch.
• 20:17
  It's another thing to make
• 20:18
  the bar go wonky and then pull it off.
• 20:23
  It caught somewhere on the way down.
• 20:26
  I think it caught his belt.
• 20:27
  Yeah.
• 20:28
  Yeah,
• 20:28
  and then we just went right back up
• 20:30
  with it like a big deal.
• 20:31
  My favorite part of that
• 20:32
  entire sequence is after
• 20:35
  when Brent does his second
• 20:37
  one and then is laughing
• 20:38
  hysterically as he comes
• 20:40
  across the line because he was like,
• 20:41
  holy shit, did that really just happen?
• 20:44
  Like, yeah, dude, that just happened.
• 20:47
  To put this in context, in 2021...
• 20:52
  Tola Maracanio attempted a
• 20:55
  touch-and-go snatch,
• 20:57
  and he had a clean shot at
• 20:58
  it and missed it.
• 21:00
  Yeah.
• 21:01
  One of the strongest guys in the field.
• 21:04
  And Tola's more known as
• 21:06
  being a weightlifter than Colton is.
• 21:11
  That was incredible.
• 21:15
  But what has been highlighted awesomely,
• 21:18
  well, not awesomely,
• 21:19
  but what's been highlighted,
• 21:20
  a complaint I've had from a
• 21:22
  media perspective,
• 21:24
  so many people were in
• 21:25
  front of Colton that nobody
• 21:27
  got a clean shot of the
• 21:28
  touch and go other than the
• 21:30
  broadcast team.
• 21:33
  And that sucks.
• 21:35
  I hate that.
• 21:36
  I hate that we have
• 21:37
  cameramen all over the floor.
• 21:40
  In Europe,
• 21:40
  they were tripping over the
• 21:41
  risers that the girls were
• 21:42
  using on the rig and moving
• 21:44
  them out of the way.
• 21:46
  They were standing right in
• 21:47
  front of people trying
• 21:48
  heavy snatches and getting
• 21:50
  waved out of the way.
• 21:53
  You have a zoom on your camera.
• 21:56
  You don't need to be right
• 21:57
  in front of their face.
• 22:04
  But yeah, that was impressive with Colton.
• 22:06
  Even more impressive to me was his run.
• 22:10
  Finishing top five on the run.
• 22:13
  I didn't see that coming at all.
• 22:16
  I'm going to be completely honest here.
• 22:18
  I did not see that coming.
• 22:20
  His big legs don't seem to be a problem.
• 22:23
  Hey, bro,
• 22:24
  he is two inches shorter than I am.
• 22:27
  And if I wouldn't have bet
• 22:30
  on me whatsoever,
• 22:32
  because I know what my run
• 22:33
  pace looks like,
• 22:34
  but for him to finish where he did,
• 22:36
  that was phenomenal.
• 22:38
  Heidi Krum asks, who is this chap?
• 22:41
  his name's Charlie.
• 22:42
  I've been on a lot, but I'm back again.
• 22:50
  Um,
• 22:53
  you don't have to chug the C4 that they
• 22:55
  left us, man.
• 22:56
  I know I was,
• 22:57
  I was thinking about that
• 22:57
  when I opened it, I said, well,
• 22:59
  we're not sponsored by C4 anymore,
• 23:00
  but I'm just thirsty and
• 23:01
  it's time for my C4.
• 23:02
  So sorry about that.
• 23:04
  Yeah.
• 23:06
  So,
• 23:08
  And then we don't need to
• 23:09
  talk about Australia
• 23:10
  because Amy's not on the show.
• 23:14
  Right.
• 23:15
  We'll save that for next week.
• 23:18
  But I'm going to pull up a picture.
• 23:20
  I'm going to ask you a question,
• 23:22
  both of you.
• 23:26
  Is this girl ready?
• 23:27
  Dude.
• 23:31
  I saw that yesterday and I
• 23:35
  about lost my mind.
• 23:36
  She looks good.
• 23:38
  She looks strong.
• 23:39
  She looks healthy.
• 23:41
  She looks ready.
• 23:44
  I saw this yesterday and I,
• 23:46
  my mind was blown.
• 23:48
  Like she looks so fit.
• 23:54
  It feels like she's mentally fit.
• 23:57
  Yeah,
• 23:57
  like Haley two years ago wouldn't
• 24:00
  have posted a picture like this.
• 24:03
  No, indeed not.
• 24:05
  I mean, she's got a tough,
• 24:08
  like Nick just said,
• 24:09
  she's got a tough field to
• 24:10
  work through this weekend,
• 24:11
  but I'm more excited to
• 24:16
  watch her than I am anybody
• 24:17
  else this weekend,
• 24:18
  just out of sheer curiosity
• 24:20
  more than anything else,
• 24:21
  just to see exactly what
• 24:22
  she's capable of.
• 24:25
  There's so much to watch this weekend.
• 24:28
  So I made my picks for Heat 1.
• 24:32
  It is impossible to narrow
• 24:34
  it down to 11 on both sides.
• 24:38
  Yeah.
• 24:41
  I started running through them,
• 24:42
  and I was like, Dallin Pepper,
• 24:46
  Dallin Pepper.
• 24:47
  And you look at the rest of them,
• 24:48
  you're like, well, wait.
• 24:51
  Because all these other
• 24:52
  people are still in.
• 24:54
  The top 12,
• 24:55
  you have to pick 12 people to
• 24:56
  finish top 12.
• 24:58
  I have people outside the
• 24:59
  top 12 that could qualify.
• 25:00
  I let Brooke Wells off.
• 25:06
  That's fair, though.
• 25:08
  The women's field on that
• 25:08
  side is remarkable.
• 25:11
  It doesn't even make sense.
• 25:14
  So let me ask you guys this.
• 25:15
  Any dark horses you're
• 25:16
  looking at this weekend?
• 25:22
  Would you consider Haley to
• 25:23
  be a dark horse because she
• 25:25
  took a year off?
• 25:27
  After looking at that picture?
• 25:28
  No.
• 25:29
  Okay, but here's the thing.
• 25:33
  We haven't seen her.
• 25:34
  We haven't seen her.
• 25:37
  And this is going to sound horrible,
• 25:39
  but it's a picture.
• 25:42
  True.
• 25:43
  She does look, and she's giving off,
• 25:46
  from what she lets people
• 25:47
  see on Instagram,
• 25:49
  a better vibe than the old Haley, right?
• 25:51
  More confident, more strong, happier,
• 25:54
  which is what everybody's
• 25:54
  been wanting to see.
• 25:56
  But at the end of the day, it's a picture.
• 25:59
  I could post a picture,
• 26:01
  good lighting and whatnot,
• 26:02
  and I could look like an
• 26:03
  absolute animal and go out
• 26:04
  and get my ass handed to me.
• 26:05
  But I'm curious to see
• 26:09
  exactly what Josh and Haley
• 26:11
  have, you know,
• 26:12
  have pulled out of her and
• 26:14
  built into her after a whole,
• 26:16
  an entire year off and getting her,
• 26:19
  getting her head right.
• 26:21
  I mean, you're talking about the Marios.
• 26:23
  Yes.
• 26:24
  Yes.
• 26:24
  Yes.
• 26:27
  Sorry, Sarah.
• 26:31
  Sarah says,
• 26:31
  get out of here with your logic, Corey.
• 26:33
  She's going to do great.
• 26:34
  I hope she does, man.
• 26:36
  I really hope she does.
• 26:38
  Harley mom.
• 26:39
  Haley is ready to put in the work.
• 26:44
  I'm gonna I'm gonna have a
• 26:45
  this is a wild dark horse
• 26:46
  this is my I'm calling this
• 26:48
  my hattie canyo um pick
• 26:51
  right calista lang will
• 26:53
  shock the world okay
• 27:01
  In 2021, she finished sixth.
• 27:03
  In 2022,
• 27:04
  she finished sixth when they only
• 27:06
  took five.
• 27:08
  Last year was an off year for her.
• 27:10
  But these workouts are very much,
• 27:14
  she's very much like a
• 27:15
  Hattie Cano or an Abby Domet.
• 27:18
  She is going to consistently be there.
• 27:20
  And at the end of the weekend,
• 27:22
  I think she's going to be right in that,
• 27:24
  in the mix for a spot.
• 27:27
  In a field that is very stacked.
• 27:31
  Who does, she has just a regular coach.
• 27:34
  She's with a camp.
• 27:35
  Like what is, I have, that's the first,
• 27:37
  when you said her name,
• 27:39
  it's the first time I was
• 27:41
  aware of that she's a person.
• 27:45
  She was with TTT.
• 27:47
  She left them this season
• 27:49
  and now she has a, a one-on-one coach.
• 27:52
  And I think it's just like,
• 27:53
  it's like an Ed.
• 27:57
  It's not Ed, but it's, it's just,
• 28:00
  she lives in, in long Island, New York.
• 28:02
  And it's just like a group
• 28:03
  of people that train together there.
• 28:06
  Gotcha.
• 28:06
  That are all lead athletes.
• 28:09
  Nice.
• 28:12
  and then on the men's side
• 28:14
  I'm going Jack Rosema I
• 28:18
  like that dude now he's a
• 28:20
  mayhem athlete that I know
• 28:21
  for sure he called his shot
• 28:24
  on this show he says he's
• 28:28
  finishing top five dude's
• 28:32
  really strong he is a
• 28:34
  little shorter in stature
• 28:36
  he's got the Corey build fire plug baby
• 28:43
  But, yeah,
• 28:45
  I think he's going to have a shot.
• 28:48
  What about Dre?
• 28:50
  Dre's strong.
• 28:52
  Dre doesn't stay healthy very well, man.
• 28:54
  He's got to do it for three days?
• 28:57
  I don't know.
• 28:59
  Dre, to me, and who knows?
• 29:01
  He's much older now.
• 29:02
  When I watched young Dre,
• 29:04
  it was gas pedal to the floor.
• 29:06
  He was the Charlie.
• 29:08
  As much as Jack Rosema is the Corey,
• 29:12
  Dre is the Charlie.
• 29:14
  Let's get this engine fired up, full bore,
• 29:17
  and we're going pedal to
• 29:18
  the metal until the wheels come off.
• 29:21
  And they come off quick,
• 29:23
  but it's a full flame out.
• 29:26
  Full sand, full flame out.
• 29:28
  Right.
• 29:28
  Let me ask you this,
• 29:32
  representing for the old guys in here,
• 29:33
  how does Ben Smith do this weekend?
• 29:44
  He'll do better than Sam Dancer.
• 29:50
  Look, I think I texted you that Sunday,
• 29:53
  Scott,
• 29:53
  that watching Sam Dancer was... The
• 29:56
  fact that he was not in the
• 29:57
  first heat and was
• 30:01
  competitive with all these
• 30:02
  young guns and young kids
• 30:03
  and whatnot is a testament
• 30:05
  in and of itself.
• 30:06
  That dude is a freak.
• 30:09
  considering he won the
• 30:10
  Masters Division last year and was like,
• 30:12
  you know what,
• 30:12
  let me see if I can qualify for the,
• 30:15
  and wasn't dragging the
• 30:17
  bottom of the barrel the entire weekend.
• 30:22
  I think I responded to you by saying,
• 30:24
  what's sad to see with Sam is,
• 30:26
  the man who could hit home
• 30:27
  runs has warning track double power now.
• 30:32
  Right.
• 30:34
  Like,
• 30:36
  that man would have crushed a snatch
• 30:37
  ladder.
• 30:39
  Five years ago.
• 30:40
  And now it's, he just has like a,
• 30:43
  a safe double.
• 30:45
  Yeah.
• 30:47
  50 years old though.
• 30:48
  You start,
• 30:48
  things start hurting only like 37.
• 30:52
  Yeah.
• 30:52
  30, 36, 37, something like that.
• 30:58
  But a lot of these workouts
• 30:59
  are what Ben Smith would have,
• 31:01
  would have had a home run in.
• 31:04
  That's why I'm curious.
• 31:05
  The man is one of the best
• 31:08
  rope climbers the sport has ever seen.
• 31:11
  Um, he's decent on his hands.
• 31:16
  He, you know,
• 31:17
  he's always been able to grit
• 31:18
  through stuff like that final workout.
• 31:22
  It's just, you know, how,
• 31:24
  how much is it left in the tank, man?
• 31:28
  And for a three day weekend,
• 31:30
  can he stay healthy?
• 31:32
  Because he hasn't been able to do that.
• 31:34
  Like last year at the games,
• 31:37
  popped a knee right in, what, day one?
• 31:41
  Like late day one, second workout.
• 31:46
  Yeah.
• 31:46
  I'd love to see it, though.
• 31:47
  I mean,
• 31:49
  he's also been in the sport since
• 31:50
  he was a literal child.
• 31:52
  So I think, what, since he was 18,
• 31:55
  19 years old,
• 31:57
  trying to qualify and then
• 31:58
  qualified and then qualified, what,
• 31:59
  10 years in a row?
• 32:02
  Well, he didn't qualify the last year,
• 32:04
  but they invited him anyway.
• 32:07
  Yeah.
• 32:08
  What about our guy we always
• 32:09
  pull for there, Scott?
• 32:11
  Oh, Trevor.
• 32:14
  Trevor Myers.
• 32:15
  We haven't seen him in a year.
• 32:17
  It's going to be interesting.
• 32:20
  I'd love to see it.
• 32:21
  I'll tell you who I'm really pulling for,
• 32:22
  Saxon.
• 32:24
  After a year off,
• 32:26
  I think he finishes on the podium.
• 32:35
  Sarah's right with you, Charlie.
• 32:36
  What about Travis, Mayor?
• 32:39
  You know Travis is coaching this year?
• 32:42
  Coaching who?
• 32:43
  He's coaching Kira Napoli on
• 32:46
  the women's side.
• 32:49
  they've already like made an
• 32:50
  agreement that she doesn't
• 32:51
  want to interfere with his
• 32:53
  his athletics so like she
• 32:56
  doesn't need him day to day
• 32:57
  or minute to minute over
• 32:58
  the weekend she's gonna
• 33:01
  have her fiance back there
• 33:02
  to do that stuff and
• 33:04
  they've like made all the
• 33:05
  game plans ahead of time so
• 33:09
  it's cool but I don't but
• 33:10
  does that distract him at
• 33:11
  all so she's got like the
• 33:15
  the the the travis mayor
• 33:17
  cliff notes back there
• 33:20
  she said that she doesn't
• 33:21
  like someone like in her
• 33:22
  grill all the time she
• 33:24
  wanted somebody that was
• 33:25
  kind of like there for
• 33:27
  training coming up with
• 33:29
  strategies but um not
• 33:31
  necessarily like a hands-on
• 33:33
  coach so they have their
• 33:35
  strategies developed way
• 33:37
  ahead of time and she's
• 33:39
  just gonna apply them over
• 33:41
  the weekend and he's his
• 33:44
  thing she's gonna do her
• 33:45
  thing it could help
• 33:46
  depending on if he goes first
• 33:49
  He's like, oh, okay.
• 33:51
  We thought about that.
• 33:53
  Maybe we don't do this.
• 33:55
  We switch it here.
• 33:56
  Then he uses that strategy.
• 34:00
  Yeah.
• 34:02
  Did either of you see the
• 34:03
  Misfits video where they
• 34:05
  filmed the testing of the final workout?
• 34:09
  Yeah.
• 34:14
  And it was Paige and McKenna.
• 34:17
  Basically, it wasn't the final workout.
• 34:18
  It was testing the grip strength.
• 34:20
  So they made them,
• 34:21
  they didn't tell them how
• 34:22
  many rounds they were going to do,
• 34:24
  but they had to go skierg
• 34:26
  until their heart rate was
• 34:27
  way up and then dumbbell
• 34:30
  75s for as long as they could go,
• 34:34
  max effort to train that final workout.
• 34:39
  And what blew me away is the second round,
• 34:41
  Paige went further than the first round.
• 34:47
  but it was all to train like,
• 34:50
  and they made it a
• 34:50
  competition between the two.
• 34:52
  Like they put a cone where
• 34:53
  they each finished.
• 34:54
  Can you pass that person?
• 34:56
  Can you pass your last one?
• 34:59
  And then tell them how many
• 35:00
  rounds they were going to do.
• 35:01
  They ended up doing three.
• 35:04
  It was crazy.
• 35:06
  That's no, thank you.
• 35:14
  I mean,
• 35:14
  I would probably do something
• 35:15
  similar to that if I was
• 35:17
  testing for a specific workout.
• 35:19
  I didn't want to actually
• 35:20
  run through the workout
• 35:20
  itself so I could see that.
• 35:22
  But I'm going to tell you, dude,
• 35:26
  70-pound dumbbells for
• 35:28
  somebody who's not a games
• 35:30
  athlete or heavy to be
• 35:33
  lunging across the floor
• 35:34
  with in any position.
• 35:35
  It doesn't matter.
• 35:37
  Farmers carrying whatever we
• 35:38
  had them for the age group online.
• 35:41
  We had with fifties when
• 35:43
  overhead for the last part
• 35:44
  and bore muscle ups like
• 35:45
  last year or year before last,
• 35:46
  something like that.
• 35:47
  And that was terrible.
• 35:49
  So like,
• 35:49
  just be able to hold onto that
• 35:51
  after you just did 15 ring muscle ups,
• 35:54
  like, no, thank you.
• 35:58
  And then for them to be
• 35:59
  finishing it in between
• 36:00
  three and four minutes, it's wild.
• 36:03
  Or two something.
• 36:04
  If you're Alex Kazan.
• 36:09
  Um, the one thing I did notice too, is,
• 36:12
  you know, in some,
• 36:13
  some instances you see the
• 36:14
  athlete swing the dumbbell
• 36:16
  to kind of give them the
• 36:17
  momentum in the lunge.
• 36:19
  There was none of that during this,
• 36:21
  because that is that
• 36:23
  because it taxes the grip more.
• 36:27
  If you are,
• 36:28
  it's going to tax your grip more,
• 36:30
  but it's going to help you
• 36:30
  with the lunge.
• 36:31
  So,
• 36:32
  cause you're building momentum as you
• 36:33
  go to be able to keep going, keep going,
• 36:35
  keep going.
• 36:36
  So it's kind of a trade off thing.
• 36:38
  You can hold on to them.
• 36:39
  And if you got,
• 36:40
  you got good grip strength
• 36:41
  and you can kind of use
• 36:42
  that momentum to keep
• 36:43
  yourself moving while you're lunging to,
• 36:44
  yeah, go ahead and swing them.
• 36:45
  But if grip strength isn't all that great,
• 36:48
  you're going to want to
• 36:48
  just kind of hold them as
• 36:49
  tight static to your side
• 36:51
  as possible while you lunge
• 36:52
  as fast as you possible.
• 36:53
  So you can stop whenever, you know,
• 36:56
  get across the line and stop.
• 36:58
  It's a,
• 36:58
  it's definitely a feast or famine
• 37:00
  thing or from my perspective anyway.
• 37:04
  Unless you're Alex or
• 37:05
  Heinrich up a line and,
• 37:07
  And you just go big baller
• 37:09
  and hold the dumbbells for
• 37:10
  another 10 seconds and
• 37:11
  stare at the crowd.
• 37:13
  Just getting across.
• 37:15
  Just getting across the line.
• 37:18
  And I forgot,
• 37:19
  I think it was Adrienne that said it.
• 37:21
  She had a look on her face
• 37:23
  like she had no plans on
• 37:24
  putting them things down at
• 37:25
  any given point.
• 37:26
  She was like, no,
• 37:26
  I'm just going to walk across the line.
• 37:28
  It's fine.
• 37:29
  Or lunge across the line, rather.
• 37:32
  Judy Reed says,
• 37:33
  how tall is Kazan and what
• 37:34
  does she weigh?
• 37:35
  70 is so heavy.
• 37:36
  I mean, I'm terrible at weight guessing,
• 37:40
  but she's a taller athlete.
• 37:43
  Not like Emily Rolfe tall,
• 37:45
  but like she's taller than
• 37:47
  like Ariel and I'd say 5'6", 5'7".
• 37:53
  What's that?
• 37:54
  Maybe like Daniel Brandon.
• 38:02
  No, Danielle's way taller than Alex.
• 38:05
  Danielle and like Emily are
• 38:08
  like the taller athletes in the field.
• 38:11
  And then Alex would be like
• 38:12
  an inch or two shorter.
• 38:22
  So according to her mint trading card,
• 38:24
  because Dan is 5'6 and 155.
• 38:26
  Yeah, I'd say that's probably about right.
• 38:36
  Daniel, Emily are like five, eight, five,
• 38:37
  nine.
• 38:37
  I want, yeah.
• 38:45
  I want to say Daniel Bryan is like five,
• 38:47
  nine, something like that.
• 38:48
  She's definitely taller than me,
• 38:49
  which is not a hard thing to do.
• 38:54
  My dog is taller than you, man.
• 38:56
  It probably is.
• 38:57
  So Daniel,
• 39:04
  Putting you on the spot,
• 39:05
  who is going to win on the men's side?
• 39:07
  Who's going to win on the
• 39:08
  women's side this weekend in the East?
• 39:12
  I'll tell you what.
• 39:13
  Let me see who I got picked.
• 39:15
  I got Dallin on the men's side.
• 39:19
  Actually,
• 39:19
  I got Alexis Raptus on the female side.
• 39:26
  Charlie?
• 39:27
  I think
• 39:33
  Probably going to be Roman
• 39:34
  on the men's side because
• 39:38
  he always just destroys his stuff.
• 39:41
  And then, I mean,
• 39:46
  I don't know how you don't say Tia.
• 39:48
  I mean,
• 39:51
  I know she's got whatever issues
• 39:53
  she's got, but she's...
• 39:57
  So I picked Tia.
• 40:01
  I think she has a better
• 40:02
  shot at winning this than
• 40:03
  she does the games.
• 40:05
  I think that with more
• 40:09
  events at the games and Tia
• 40:11
  being off a little bit,
• 40:12
  that's the time to get her,
• 40:13
  not in a short competition
• 40:16
  weekend like this.
• 40:18
  So I go Tia on the women's side.
• 40:21
  And you can't be the champ
• 40:22
  until you beat the champ.
• 40:24
  And Jeff Adler's winning this weekend.
• 40:31
  I mean, Adler is so well-rounded.
• 40:34
  He's going to kill the run.
• 40:36
  He's going to kill the snatch ladder.
• 40:37
  And a lot of these,
• 40:39
  that's a weakness on one of those two,
• 40:42
  and he's not weak on either.
• 40:45
  I mean, that's fair.
• 40:49
  That's fair.
• 40:51
  I think I got him in second.
• 40:53
  Yeah,
• 40:53
  I got Dallin first and Jeff in second.
• 40:58
  That one's a year away.
• 41:06
  I got Emma Lawson in second right now.
• 41:08
  I got Alexis, Emma, Tia.
• 41:12
  One, two, three.
• 41:13
  And here's the thing.
• 41:14
  It's not that I don't think
• 41:15
  Tia can win this, the whole thing out.
• 41:18
  I just don't think she cares
• 41:19
  to win the whole thing out.
• 41:20
  Does that make sense?
• 41:22
  As long as she qualifies, she's good.
• 41:25
  So I don't think she's
• 41:26
  necessarily coming out
• 41:27
  trying to dominate
• 41:28
  everybody in a semifinal
• 41:29
  when she does not have to
• 41:30
  dominate everybody in a semifinal.
• 41:32
  Right.
• 41:32
  Just get in.
• 41:33
  Don't worry about winning.
• 41:34
  Get in.
• 41:35
  Yeah.
• 41:36
  Especially if,
• 41:38
  and I know that her wrist thing, whatever,
• 41:40
  has probably been overblown at this point,
• 41:42
  but staying healthy,
• 41:44
  doing what you got to do, qualifying,
• 41:47
  and then moving right along.
• 41:49
  Yeah.
• 41:51
  I actually have a Tia Raptus Lawson.
• 41:55
  Just because I think people
• 42:01
  at TTT have told me that
• 42:02
  Raptors really attacked her
• 42:04
  holes in the offseason.
• 42:06
  And I don't think there's
• 42:08
  anything in this lineup of
• 42:10
  workouts that is going to slow her down.
• 42:21
  It's just Tia is so good.
• 42:23
  Tia's going to kill the
• 42:25
  snatch letter and the run.
• 42:27
  She's great at all the other aspects.
• 42:33
  Absolutely.
• 42:34
  Does Taylor self-qualify this weekend?
• 42:40
  I actually have him in as
• 42:42
  the last qualifying spot.
• 42:47
  But I don't know.
• 42:47
  I don't know.
• 42:49
  I think
• 42:52
  Not having seen him since Waterpalooza,
• 42:56
  was that two years ago?
• 42:58
  And just seeing it with the
• 42:59
  Kill Taylor stuff and
• 43:01
  seeing some of his videos
• 43:02
  and whatnot training, he is very,
• 43:04
  very feast or famine.
• 43:08
  We're either going to hit a
• 43:09
  home run or we're going
• 43:11
  back to the dugout and sit down.
• 43:13
  So I'm hoping he hits some
• 43:14
  home runs and then has a couple of,
• 43:17
  like we were talking about,
• 43:17
  warning track doubles and
• 43:19
  gets himself in.
• 43:20
  I would really like to see him
• 43:23
  and hear his mouth at the games.
• 43:27
  There are very few people
• 43:29
  outside of probably Matt
• 43:31
  Fraser and Colton Mertens
• 43:34
  that can talk trash better
• 43:36
  than that dude.
• 43:37
  And that's just fun to me.
• 43:38
  It's entertaining.
• 43:40
  He is entertaining to watch.
• 43:41
  He is entertaining to experience,
• 43:44
  I guess you could say.
• 43:47
  uh about my raptus comment
• 43:50
  kenneth the lap says well
• 43:51
  yeah proximity bias they're
• 43:52
  gonna they're not going to
• 43:54
  say raptus isn't even
• 43:55
  improving let me just say
• 43:58
  this I had scott tetlow on
• 44:00
  the show and he told me
• 44:03
  never been healthier in my
• 44:04
  life going into these
• 44:05
  semi-finals watching a
• 44:07
  broadcast scott's coming in
• 44:09
  with an injury and couldn't
• 44:10
  lunge for four weeks
• 44:15
  So, yeah,
• 44:15
  I know that there's proximity
• 44:16
  bias and flat-out lies
• 44:19
  right before a big event.
• 44:22
  Well,
• 44:22
  nobody's going to come on and be like, oh,
• 44:24
  no,
• 44:24
  I'm feeling like trash the entire time.
• 44:26
  Like, yeah, no,
• 44:28
  I'm pretty sure I'm
• 44:28
  probably going to do terrible.
• 44:30
  Who's going to come out and say that?
• 44:34
  You're going to ask me.
• 44:35
  I think Taylor will be top 10 but miss.
• 44:38
  Well,
• 44:39
  you can't be top 10 and miss in this
• 44:41
  group, Andrew.
• 44:42
  They get 11.
• 44:47
  So North America East gets
• 44:49
  the most invites of any region,
• 44:52
  and they're getting 11 this year.
• 44:57
  Just enough for my guy Marquand to get in.
• 44:59
  Marquand.
• 45:02
  I love Marquand, but he ain't getting in.
• 45:05
  He's going to.
• 45:06
  He's a great human being.
• 45:07
  He's incredibly fit.
• 45:08
  He ain't going to the games.
• 45:10
  Yeah.
• 45:11
  I wasn't confident.
• 45:13
  Taylor can go to the dark
• 45:14
  place and stay more,
• 45:16
  stay there more than anyone in the field.
• 45:20
  True.
• 45:21
  But I said this when they
• 45:23
  did quarterfinals,
• 45:26
  when you're looking at like
• 45:27
  Mertens and Hopper and Dallin,
• 45:30
  they all have a little bit
• 45:32
  more natural God gifted
• 45:34
  talent than Taylor does.
• 45:35
  Um,
• 45:36
  And in a one-time workout,
• 45:39
  he can go to that dark
• 45:40
  place and make it hurt and
• 45:42
  compete with them.
• 45:44
  To do that over six events,
• 45:46
  where's on the body?
• 45:48
  What happened on the fourth
• 45:50
  event of that quarterfinal
• 45:51
  weekend where his body just said,
• 45:54
  no more?
• 45:58
  He just fell off the box.
• 46:01
  He more than fell off the box.
• 46:03
  He didn't know where he was.
• 46:05
  No, that's what I'm talking about.
• 46:06
  He didn't bail off the box.
• 46:08
  I've done that a million times.
• 46:10
  He landed and then just slow
• 46:13
  motion tipped off the box
• 46:15
  and fell down and kind of
• 46:17
  came to when he realized he
• 46:19
  was on the ground.
• 46:20
  Oh, yeah,
• 46:20
  I guess I ought to finish this workout.
• 46:24
  How many people can do that
• 46:26
  and will keep going?
• 46:29
  Right.
• 46:30
  It's just,
• 46:31
  there's a point where the body
• 46:32
  just can't go anymore.
• 46:34
  And does he hit that?
• 46:42
  Sarah says,
• 46:43
  are there any dark place workouts though?
• 46:45
  There are that row handstand walk is a,
• 46:48
  is a flat out sprint.
• 46:52
  I think depending on who you are,
• 46:55
  the snatch ladder is a,
• 46:58
  If you're Olivia Kerstetter,
• 46:59
  it's an all-out sprint.
• 47:02
  But I would say the first three are rough.
• 47:05
  Like that run clean and jerk
• 47:07
  workout is going to be rough.
• 47:09
  And in Knoxville,
• 47:10
  there is no flat land around that venue.
• 47:15
  So you're running hills for your 800,
• 47:18
  and you're going to be
• 47:18
  doing clean and jerks.
• 47:20
  That's going to be tough.
• 47:22
  And then that front squat.
• 47:24
  Is it front squat?
• 47:26
  Toe to bar.
• 47:27
  Toe to bar.
• 47:28
  Double under.
• 47:29
  Yeah.
• 47:30
  That one's going to hurt, too.
• 47:34
  That one hurts just thinking about it,
• 47:36
  dude.
• 47:36
  Like, 100 dubs, jump up, 20 toes,
• 47:42
  and let's go ahead and
• 47:43
  front squat 225 for, what is it,
• 47:45
  10 reps at a time?
• 47:49
  will Taylor be in heat one
• 47:51
  or two this weekend?
• 47:53
  I don't think so.
• 47:53
  I think, well,
• 47:55
  he'll be in heat one for the
• 47:56
  first event because he comes in in that,
• 47:59
  but he's going to do well
• 48:00
  in that run clean and jerk.
• 48:01
  That's just something he's really good at.
• 48:05
  And I really think the first
• 48:06
  three workouts play to his favor.
• 48:08
  It's the last three he's
• 48:09
  going to struggle with if he struggles.
• 48:14
  So I think he'll be up there for,
• 48:16
  he'll be in the top heats
• 48:17
  for most of the weekend.
• 48:21
  Nick asks,
• 48:21
  is there any way to split the U.S.
• 48:22
  to make it more even, north, south,
• 48:24
  or something else?
• 48:26
  Bro, don't get me started.
• 48:27
  I live in south Louisiana on
• 48:31
  the east side of the Mississippi River,
• 48:34
  and I'm in the west.
• 48:37
  Makes no sense whatsoever.
• 48:40
  The only thing that even
• 48:44
  makes any kind of sense as
• 48:45
  to how they split like that,
• 48:46
  it's got to be population.
• 48:48
  That's the only thing that
• 48:49
  makes any kind of sense.
• 48:49
  They drew a line and said, okay,
• 48:52
  this side of the country
• 48:54
  has this much population,
• 48:55
  so you're going to go here.
• 48:57
  And then, you know,
• 48:58
  the East Coast is more densely populated,
• 49:00
  so those people can stay
• 49:01
  over there for that.
• 49:03
  But, like,
• 49:03
  the fact that Brandon and Scott
• 49:05
  and Max and Jacob all had
• 49:09
  to go to California whenever Knoxville is,
• 49:14
  I think it's a six- or
• 49:16
  seven-hour drive from here.
• 49:17
  Something like that makes
• 49:18
  absolutely no sense whatsoever.
• 49:22
  I think the only fair way to do it,
• 49:24
  and I think people saying
• 49:26
  that the West was down,
• 49:28
  I think top 15 were good on
• 49:31
  both sides because there
• 49:35
  are people not going to the
• 49:36
  games that most of us
• 49:38
  thought were going to the games.
• 49:41
  So I don't think it says
• 49:43
  shallow at the top.
• 49:44
  It's shallow or at the bottom.
• 49:47
  What I will say is what I'd
• 49:49
  love to go back to is all
• 49:51
  of North America, top 80,
• 49:54
  and then you divide them
• 49:56
  evenly amongst the two.
• 49:58
  Yeah.
• 49:59
  One, two, three, four, five, you know,
• 50:02
  so that you get a fair
• 50:06
  breakdown east-west, if that makes sense.
• 50:11
  Absolutely.
• 50:12
  Absolutely.
• 50:15
  Because when it was four,
• 50:16
  that's how they did it.
• 50:19
  It was 120.
• 50:19
  They split 30 in each.
• 50:25
  Back when it was 30 per semi.
• 50:30
  So the four locations.
• 50:33
  So that's, I think they should go,
• 50:35
  if they're going to keep this model,
• 50:37
  that's what they should go back to.
• 50:41
  We're the only country with two locations.
• 50:45
  Don't worry.
• 50:46
  They'll mess it up again next year.
• 50:47
  It's fine.
• 50:49
  I'm sure it'll be something
• 50:50
  completely different.
• 50:51
  It'll be something
• 50:52
  completely different that
• 50:54
  will make just as little
• 50:55
  sense as it did this year.
• 50:56
  It's fine.
• 50:57
  Florida's in the West.
• 50:58
  Don't worry about it.
• 51:00
  More than likely.
• 51:01
  It wouldn't surprise me at all.
• 51:02
  It would not shock me at all.
• 51:04
  We're going to go north to south next year,
• 51:06
  and everybody that's in
• 51:07
  Miami is going to be
• 51:08
  competing in the north.
• 51:09
  We're going to go with the
• 51:11
  13 original colonies as one region.
• 51:16
  Louisiana Purchase is another.
• 51:17
  Alaska will be its own.
• 51:21
  Alaska is going to be its own thing.
• 51:22
  And then everybody who's in
• 51:28
  Hawaii is going to have to
• 51:29
  compete in Asia.
• 51:30
  So all the jump ship people, sorry Seth,
• 51:33
  all you people have got to
• 51:33
  go compete over there.
• 51:36
  If you went on the Oregon Trail,
• 51:38
  you get to pick which one you go to.
• 51:41
  And you didn't die of dysentery.
• 51:42
  I was going to say,
• 51:43
  unless you got dysentery.
• 51:48
  I love when Corey's on the show,
• 51:50
  brings out the old man jokes.
• 51:52
  Only we understand.
• 51:53
  Yes.
• 51:56
  Judy is correct.
• 51:57
  South America.
• 51:58
  South America.
• 52:00
  Absolutely.
• 52:00
  But only the bottom half.
• 52:02
  If you're in the panhandle,
• 52:03
  you're in the West.
• 52:04
  Panhandle is southern Georgia.
• 52:07
  Yeah.
• 52:08
  Absolutely.
• 52:08
  That's all it is.
• 52:11
  One hundred percent.
• 52:15
  Yeah.
• 52:16
  Well, this has been a fun show.
• 52:19
  Thank you, Corey, for jumping on.
• 52:20
  Charlie, great seeing you again.
• 52:22
  And maybe we'll have to do a
• 52:24
  three dude show going forward.
• 52:26
  There you go.
• 52:28
  I'm with it.
• 52:29
  Well,
• 52:29
  I'm going to go take care of my
• 52:30
  dysentery.
• 52:36
  Wild Zombie will leave on this.
• 52:37
  There's enough Cubans there
• 52:38
  to where South America makes sense.
• 52:41
  He is not wrong.
• 52:42
  I have been to Miami.
• 52:45
  Great food, though.
• 52:46
  Great Cuban food.
• 52:49
  So we will see everybody
• 52:51
  next time on the Clydesdale
• 52:54
  Media Roundtable.
• 52:55
  Thanks, guys.
• 52:56
  See you all soon.
