0:03
If you watch Savant this morning,
0:04
we're going to reduce the IQ level about
0:08
fifty points.
0:09
Just about fifty.
0:11
Let's go.
0:13
And I hit the wrong button.
0:26
It's lunchtime.
0:27
Yay!
0:56
what is going on everybody welcome to
0:59
lunch with the Clydesdale and the cowboy
1:05
coming at you live on a Wednesday
1:07
afternoon so good to be with you all
1:10
what's going on Trent, Meredith,
1:13
Jay Birch, Vicky, Lito,
1:16
Joseph yep everybody
1:25
If you've been paying attention this week,
1:26
we are on Cribs episode two.
1:29
The clean lady just left the house about
1:31
two hours ago.
1:32
The thing's nice and shiny now.
1:33
That's why the fan's not on.
1:36
Beautiful day.
1:38
Can't wait till we get to garage tour
1:40
with the Tesla.
1:42
Tesla's actually at the airport parked
1:43
right now.
1:44
I just turned off sentry mode because
1:45
Jennifer's battery's down to forty
1:46
percent.
1:47
She ain't gonna be home till tomorrow.
1:51
When she went to go park,
1:53
They're at the MSY there in New Orleans
1:57
International Airport.
1:59
And the parking garage has two levels with
2:02
like a whole bunch of chargers,
2:04
like long-term chargers you can just plug
2:06
into and they'll charge your stuff for
2:08
free.
2:10
And every single spot was taken.
2:15
So she was freaking out or whatnot.
2:18
And I just got a notification from the
2:19
Tesla app saying that, excuse me,
2:24
That sentry mode has been on for an
2:26
extended period of time,
2:27
which seriously drains the battery because
2:28
every time somebody walks by it,
2:30
it takes a picture.
2:31
So I just turn that off.
2:32
So yeah, one time.
2:35
Because she was already freaking out about
2:37
not being able to charge it.
2:38
And she said,
2:38
McCoy's going to be dead by the time
2:39
I get home.
2:42
It won't be.
2:44
She may have to charge before she actually
2:46
comes home, though,
2:47
which will be a whole lot of fun
2:48
because then she's got to go find a
2:49
supercharger.
2:50
Anyway.
2:53
Enough about that.
2:56
Yeah.
2:56
I, um, well, first I'll address this, uh,
2:58
Jay Birch cleaning lady.
3:01
Yeah.
3:01
We have, uh,
3:02
two ladies come to the house once every
3:04
other week.
3:05
Uh,
3:05
so because we have ridiculously active
3:08
lives and we are not here enough to
3:10
deep clean this house as often as we'd
3:12
like to.
3:12
So they are extremely reasonable and do a
3:16
ridiculously good job and speak very
3:20
little English.
3:21
Yeah.
3:23
Cleaning Lady, when I hear that,
3:27
I hear like a TV show that had
3:29
a great,
3:31
phenomenal season one and then completely
3:34
shit the bed after that.
3:36
Oh.
3:39
For one season, it was really,
3:41
really good.
3:44
Okay.
3:44
Total crap after that.
3:47
What are we talking about?
3:49
The Cleaning Lady.
3:50
Oh, that was the name of the show.
3:52
Yeah.
3:53
Okay, yeah, you got me on that one.
3:55
So essentially,
3:56
it's a woman who is an immigrant coming
4:00
to the country,
4:01
was a doctor in her old country,
4:04
gets a job as a cleaning lady in
4:06
Vegas, witnesses a murder.
4:09
The people hire her to clean up the
4:11
mess.
4:12
Oh, okay.
4:13
And then that gets her wrapped into this
4:16
whole thing.
4:18
And the first season was phenomenal.
4:21
Phenomenal.
4:23
And then it just went,
4:23
and I was like, nevermind.
4:27
We're tired of having a good show.
4:32
Uh, train all of it was really good.
4:40
Um, that was a great show, Scott.
4:44
It was, it was for a moment.
4:46
It didn't help though,
4:47
that one of the main characters actually
4:49
died in real life.
4:51
Probably didn't help a whole lot.
4:52
They had to write him out of the
4:54
show.
4:58
Anyway.
5:02
My main question for today is,
5:03
have you listened to Pedro's interview
5:04
with Colton when he explained why he
5:06
doesn't like Hopper or basically any of
5:08
the boys interrupted?
5:10
I did.
5:11
You sure did.
5:12
I did.
5:13
I listened to that yesterday.
5:18
Colton is a breath of fresh air.
5:21
And I say that because I absolutely adore
5:25
people who have no bullshit in them
5:29
whatsoever.
5:30
When he said, if I don't like you,
5:33
I'm not going to act like I like
5:34
you just so that you like me.
5:37
I felt that on a cellular level.
5:39
Like,
5:41
It's like, it's nothing to get y'all,
5:42
but like,
5:43
I am not going to just pretend that
5:45
I like you just so that to appease
5:48
some sort of social contract that I do
5:50
not believe in.
5:52
We're going to move right on past that.
5:54
And the world could use a whole lot
5:56
more of that.
5:59
Well,
5:59
and some of it he actually does explain,
6:01
right?
6:01
Like,
6:02
like him and James are just different
6:04
people.
6:05
James prepares for an event by talking.
6:09
That is what gives, that's,
6:10
he even said that charges James's battery
6:13
and it drains mine.
6:14
Yeah.
6:17
And so they just don't,
6:20
nobody said everybody at,
6:22
in a sport has to like each other,
6:24
right?
6:24
Not at all.
6:26
And I have argued for years on this
6:29
show, the more of this we get,
6:33
where there truly isn't a bond between
6:37
people,
6:37
the more it adds to the intrigue of
6:42
the event.
6:43
I talked about how regionals has lost its
6:45
tension.
6:47
Jenny called me out on it on an
6:48
Instagram post yesterday and said,
6:50
we got tension now.
6:52
Not the tension I was looking for.
6:54
I was talking about the tension on the
6:55
floor.
6:56
But this is good tension too.
6:59
Sure.
7:00
Anytime you add tension and drama to a
7:02
sporting event,
7:04
it escalates it in a way that makes
7:06
the viewer want to watch it more.
7:09
It raises the stakes.
7:11
Because now it's personal.
7:13
Now it's not just...
7:15
person A against person B and one of
7:17
them is going to win.
7:18
Now,
7:19
if you are a fan of person A
7:21
or you are a fan of person B,
7:22
now you're extra cheering for them because
7:25
you know that they don't like each other.
7:28
You're on one side or the other.
7:32
No, I'm a fan, dude.
7:33
I am a fan.
7:37
Anna Shoup says Colton said he likes James
7:39
they're just different people exactly
7:41
that's just what I said like James is
7:43
an extrovert that's what he gets his
7:45
energy from talking to people and doing
7:48
all the stuff Colton is an introvert he
7:50
gets his energy from solitude being by
7:52
himself um and but it doesn't mean you
7:58
have to like hang out and be chummy
8:00
at events not at all not at all
8:07
uh
8:08
I'd argue it's less about like dislike in
8:11
the James situation and one of the
8:13
preference annoyance.
8:14
Yeah, exactly.
8:15
Sure.
8:19
I think you can choose to not be
8:20
friends with someone and that doesn't
8:22
automatically mean you dislike.
8:24
Right.
8:25
And when I use the word dislike,
8:27
it's not like I hate you and I
8:30
want bad things for you.
8:34
We talked about it last year when the
8:36
Bears coach and the Packers coach didn't
8:39
shake hands, right?
8:42
And that has added so much to the
8:45
rivalry.
8:47
If you don't know, you don't know.
8:49
But as a Bears fan,
8:51
when Ben Johnson snubbed Matt LaFleur,
8:56
He went up three notches in all Bears
8:58
fans' minds because we hate the Packers.
9:04
It's personal.
9:05
Right.
9:07
It's the only rivalry in the NFL.
9:09
It has been around since nineteen twenty
9:12
and we hate them.
9:15
And the fact that our coach bought into
9:16
all that and did the same thing.
9:20
He could not have made a better move.
9:27
Because of this.
9:28
Yeah.
9:29
If it was a Saints, it was,
9:31
if it was a Saints fan,
9:32
it was Saints coach.
9:33
And at the Falcons game, he just,
9:35
you know, flipped off the Falcons coach.
9:37
Like they would build a statue to him
9:40
overnight.
9:42
Period.
9:43
Especially after a win and he just walked
9:44
off and was like,
9:45
I'm not talking to that dude.
9:46
Get bent and just walk off the field.
9:49
There would be a statue of him in
9:51
the French Quarter of that dude overnight.
9:54
Period.
9:55
That's why college football is big.
9:57
Because when LSU plays Alabama,
10:00
there's pure hatred there.
10:01
Right?
10:05
And it makes sports interesting.
10:08
The last team you want to lose to
10:10
is Alabama.
10:15
The last person Colton Mertens wants to
10:19
lose to is Jason Hopper.
10:22
And that's a good thing.
10:26
And because now that everybody knows it,
10:29
it raises the stakes and it makes it
10:31
more interesting to watch.
10:33
Because now you know that if he does
10:35
lose to him, he's like, oh, smack.
10:37
He is going to come out hot on
10:38
this next event.
10:41
I'm a fan, dude.
10:47
David Reed, no one wants to lose to...
10:51
Michigan?
10:52
See, this is...
10:54
I don't want to lose to Ohio State.
10:56
As a Penn State fan,
10:58
because I live here and I deal with
11:00
this.
11:03
They can't even put an M in a
11:05
word because it's the starting letter of
11:08
Michigan.
11:11
Like, literally,
11:11
you walk through town on Michigan Week,
11:13
there are X's on street signs crossing out
11:16
all the M's.
11:19
That's how insane it is here.
11:21
The only thing I like about Ohio State
11:23
is the diving team.
11:28
That's because it's personal, again.
11:30
A root for the Ohio State diving team,
11:32
everything else.
11:39
I think this is interesting.
11:41
Trish Bucci.
11:43
I really like how proven is projecting the
11:45
team mindset, even in individual sport.
11:48
It gives training camp more of a camp
11:50
feeling.
11:51
So I like what you're saying here.
11:53
I do think they're trying to portray that.
11:57
I do think it is an interesting concept,
12:00
but watch F one watch drive to survive.
12:04
And when the teammates start to both
12:07
battle for the win and
12:10
see how that team thing falls apart well
12:15
because nobody wants to lose right right
12:21
and at some point you have to pick
12:22
a side right jay and ricky are all
12:26
good until they're one two going into the
12:29
final event at the crossfit games yeah and
12:32
then tell me that it's okay if the
12:35
other one wins
12:39
It's okay because it has to be okay.
12:42
Because somebody's got to lose.
12:43
But that's it.
12:45
During that last event,
12:47
you do not want to lose to that
12:48
teammate.
12:50
Because you will hear about it for the
12:52
next year.
12:54
Ask Dallin Pepper how it feels to lose
12:56
to your friends.
13:00
To be the only guy in that group
13:02
without a championship.
13:04
On the elite level.
13:05
I was about to say,
13:06
on the elite level.
13:09
And they let him know that his teen
13:13
ones doesn't count.
13:13
Right.
13:17
It's probably one of my favorite things,
13:18
dude,
13:19
that they are quick to let him know,
13:21
okay, yeah, teen, okay, whatever,
13:23
moving right along.
13:25
What happens in the NFL when a teammate
13:28
cannot be kept on because he's too
13:30
expensive and the salary cap,
13:33
and then he decides, well,
13:34
they didn't want me.
13:36
They wanted him instead.
13:37
So now I'm going to go to the
13:39
arch rival,
13:40
and I'm going to play him twice a
13:41
year, and I'm going to kick their ass.
13:44
That's going to happen at Proven, too.
13:47
There's going to come a point where, hey,
13:49
I'm not the number one guy.
13:52
I need to go where I'm number one.
13:55
And I'm not saying that's Jay and Ricky.
13:56
It could be anything.
13:58
It could be Kyra and Lucy McGonigal.
14:01
It could be,
14:02
now Kyra ain't leaving because she's kind
14:05
of attached there.
14:05
But Lucy McGonigal, you know,
14:07
I don't know.
14:08
It's going to happen.
14:09
It happens in every sport.
14:11
It's just too early right now to see
14:13
it.
14:15
It has been happening in every sport for
14:17
as long as trades and free agency has
14:20
been a thing.
14:22
salary caps and all that kind of stuff.
14:24
People are going to move.
14:26
Right.
14:28
And there's only,
14:29
there's only so much bandwidth.
14:31
I think that a CrossFit team can have
14:34
before they're spread too thin.
14:38
And maybe Nick Johnston would argue with
14:41
me that if you hire enough quality
14:43
coaches, but who knows?
14:47
Yeah.
14:48
Yeah.
14:50
Nick would be probably the first person to
14:52
argue with you.
14:55
Constructively, Nick's a nice guy.
14:57
Oh, Nick's a great guy.
14:59
Nick was one of the first people I
15:00
met when I moved to the media team,
15:03
media side of things.
15:05
And he's an awesome dude.
15:09
There was an interesting conversation
15:11
about that and behind the scenes.
15:13
Ricky said if he doesn't win,
15:14
he wants Jay to win.
15:16
Jason said if he loses anybody but the
15:18
boys interrupted.
15:20
And I would contest.
15:23
Right now,
15:23
Ricky is the number one guy at Proven.
15:26
Jay has not beat him at the games.
15:30
And so it's easy for Ricky to say
15:32
that now.
15:34
Sure.
15:36
Will he say the same thing when him
15:38
and Jay are one and two at the
15:40
games competing for that number one spot?
15:44
I think that's where it gets different.
15:49
Because Ricky hasn't won it yet.
15:50
And if Jay takes that away,
15:54
that's going to be a tough pill to
15:55
swallow.
15:58
There's a saying,
15:59
I'm trying to remember what it is.
16:01
And Wayne,
16:02
I'm not saying that it's going to be
16:03
those two people where we see that happen,
16:07
but it's going to happen at some point
16:09
in the sport.
16:12
Everybody is – what is it?
16:16
On a winning team,
16:17
everybody is loyal until you're not
16:18
winning anymore.
16:19
Does that make sense?
16:20
Yeah.
16:22
Like, yeah, it's fantastic.
16:24
I want everybody to win until I'm not
16:26
winning.
16:27
And then it becomes a problem.
16:31
Jay Burch asks, will Dallin win this year?
16:33
Is that enough to drive him,
16:35
or will there be another two-time champ in
16:37
that group?
16:38
I still got Dallin running.
16:41
That one was my pick at the beginning
16:42
of the season.
16:44
Man, James looks good.
16:45
He does.
16:47
He absolutely does.
16:50
And in all these conversations,
16:53
nobody mentions Hopper.
16:55
Which is hilarious because Hopper keeps
16:58
showing up and doing well.
17:02
It's going to be fun this weekend to
17:04
see Hopper on the floor against a really
17:07
good top end.
17:10
Yeah.
17:11
I'm excited for this weekend.
17:16
One, because it's live competition.
17:19
Mayhem always puts on a good show.
17:21
And two,
17:21
just to see what these guys are ready
17:23
for now, right?
17:25
I mean,
17:27
game tickets being punched are on the
17:29
line, so it counts for something.
17:32
So let's see what they actually got.
17:34
So yeah, it's going to be fun.
17:37
Barry says,
17:38
Dallin and Alistair are recovering from
17:39
rhabdo.
17:40
yeah but i think we're i think we're
17:42
past that for the most part that there's
17:45
always going to be that fear in there
17:46
but um but it didn't seem to hold
17:50
him back much in quarters no no i
17:56
think he said uh i don't remember where
17:58
i saw it at but at some point
18:00
when he figured out that he was going
18:01
to be okay
18:03
you know after the recovery process and
18:05
whatnot like the first time he really went
18:06
forward in training and nothing happened
18:09
for the next twenty four hours and he's
18:10
like all right cool i'm i'm back kind
18:12
of liked it from his memory uh joseph
18:15
ramirez too much pressure from the boys
18:17
for dylan to win the games and i
18:23
don't think maybe i don't believe that i
18:25
think that he puts on himself
18:28
Yeah,
18:28
a hundred percent that a hundred percent
18:31
that, because like, he's got this,
18:32
you know, this plan,
18:34
like what Colton was talking about
18:35
yesterday.
18:36
Colton said from day one, he was like,
18:39
no, I'm here to win.
18:40
No matter, no matter what it is.
18:41
Whereas Dallin was like,
18:42
I want to transition from the teams to
18:45
the, you know,
18:46
and then make this and this many years.
18:48
And that's another mindset thing, right?
18:50
Like Colton full speed ahead.
18:53
I'm here to win.
18:55
Period.
18:55
End of story.
18:56
If I don't win, cool, whatever.
18:58
But that's my goal.
18:59
Whereas Dallin's got a more measured
19:00
approach,
19:01
like this step to this step to this
19:03
step,
19:04
standing on top of the podium type deal.
19:09
Oh, Vicky says,
19:09
I'm so excited for this weekend.
19:11
I won't have a voice come Sunday,
19:13
but it'll be worth it.
19:14
Vicky,
19:14
you promised to be my eyes and ears
19:17
at the venue.
19:19
You have to like tea with honey, lozenges,
19:24
whatever it takes to get you through.
19:31
Hexy lover, I love that we, the viewers,
19:34
are an actual part of the conversation,
19:35
no matter if it's TV shows, pro wrestling,
19:38
football, oh yeah, and CrossFit.
19:40
Thanks to you both.
19:41
Now everyone hit that like button.
19:46
Bingo.
19:48
Easy day.
19:50
Easy day.
19:56
And I agree, Barry.
19:57
You can be past it and still have
19:58
that enter your mind when you have to
20:00
go dark.
20:02
I would think so, dude.
20:03
I mean, obviously I've never had, I say,
20:06
obviously I've never had rhabdo or as far
20:09
as I know, even come close,
20:10
but I would think from any stories that
20:14
I've heard of people who actually did,
20:15
like, it's not fun to deal with.
20:17
Right.
20:18
And you know exactly what caused it.
20:20
So yeah, in the back of your mind,
20:22
like, okay, we've got these echo bikes,
20:25
friends, here we go.
20:26
So we did it last time.
20:28
And you know,
20:29
until you're on the other side and you're
20:31
okay,
20:31
you're probably,
20:32
it's probably still nagging in the back of
20:33
your mind.
20:34
Are you really giving it everything that
20:35
you have?
20:36
Who knows, right?
20:38
The brain's going to shut off before the
20:39
body does.
20:43
Uh, Lito, your picks for the weekend.
20:44
Now that all the events are out,
20:46
I don't think event four is out.
20:49
It should be the only one that's not
20:50
though, right?
20:51
They're all out,
20:52
but four and there is six events.
20:54
I was,
20:55
I was wrong on that the other night.
20:57
Um,
21:00
I have this up.
21:01
So yesterday, I wanted to talk about this.
21:03
Gwen was released.
21:07
What's wild about Gwen is the real Gwen
21:10
is for load.
21:12
Yeah.
21:13
You have to do the three rounds unbroken,
21:16
and there are two.
21:18
You can change the load between sets,
21:21
or you can try to do the same
21:22
load throughout.
21:26
But for this, it's for time.
21:29
But all sets have to be unbroken,
21:31
which is always part of Gwen.
21:33
And it's fifteen, twelve,
21:34
nine clean and jerks.
21:37
And the men are at one eighty five.
21:40
The women are at one twenty five.
21:43
And you can rest as needed between sets.
21:46
Longer you rest,
21:48
the longer it's going to take you.
21:49
That's wicked.
21:54
FYI.
21:59
so there you go so that is out
22:03
uh this is special to me when was
22:05
the first workout i ever won at a
22:07
local comp and that so it i'm super
22:14
stoked for this because it's it is a
22:17
um it is a strategery thing i love
22:23
strategery
22:25
When you're doing it for load,
22:26
it is very strategic.
22:28
What is the maximum level you can move
22:31
without breaking?
22:37
I've never done it.
22:39
Never come up.
22:42
Having said that,
22:43
that I've never actually done actual Gwen
22:46
Brandon did program.
22:48
Five clean jerks,
22:50
five touch and go clean jerks on the
22:51
minute for ten minutes at one hundred
22:53
fifty five pounds earlier this week,
22:55
which I did Monday,
22:57
which is actually pretty fun.
22:59
Anything that's got a barbell or strictly
23:02
a barbell, definitely a big fan of.
23:06
Can we talk about the fact that Magic
23:07
City Games were also doing some version of
23:09
Gwen?
23:11
They are not posted what version they're
23:13
doing.
23:14
No, it just said semi Gwen.
23:18
And I have no idea what that even
23:19
means.
23:20
So in my chat with Carolyn and Jamie,
23:25
they're preparing that it's going to be at
23:26
Del Mar too,
23:28
because they think it's this year's
23:30
Isabel.
23:31
Right.
23:34
And if that's the case,
23:36
it'll be at the French throw down.
23:38
It'll be a Torian.
23:40
latin etc etc etc syndicate like pick a
23:45
thing ncc yeah the only reason i'm i
23:51
don't say pushing back on it but thinking
23:52
that it might not be is that once
23:54
because last year once it was known like
23:57
everybody was just like yep that's what
23:58
we're doing yep that's what we're doing
24:00
yep that's what we're doing and that
24:01
hasn't happened yet right michael made
24:04
that post like the conversation i watched
24:06
yesterday say it again
24:08
Just reporting the conversation.
24:10
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
24:11
No, no, I get it.
24:12
I absolutely get it.
24:13
I'm just – last year – and look,
24:17
maybe everybody's trying to play a little
24:19
close to the vest or whatnot,
24:20
but it seems kind of silly to me
24:21
not to just go ahead and say, hey,
24:23
yeah, that's what everybody's doing.
24:25
Cool.
24:25
Go ahead and knock that down.
24:30
So I'm excited to – here's the thing,
24:35
because all Magic City has said is that,
24:37
yep, we're doing that.
24:39
Bar workouts are getting released one week
24:42
from today, the twenty-second.
24:44
That one week from today, is that right?
24:48
Yeah.
24:49
And all six are out.
24:50
I forgot the midline because it was so
24:52
early.
24:52
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
24:55
The final toll is the event six.
24:58
Thirty dumbbell bench,
24:59
two hundred double-unders,
25:01
hundred-foot dumbbell farmer's lunge.
25:02
That is going to hurt.
25:07
That is going to hurt.
25:09
After you get done with the bench,
25:10
it's a sprint, man.
25:11
Yeah.
25:12
Yeah.
25:15
And the load is a seventy five fifty
25:20
and thirty in a row is a lot.
25:25
That's seventy five.
25:27
Yeah.
25:29
Yeah.
25:30
So it's going to be interesting.
25:32
Someone like Colton is probably going to
25:34
fly through that bench.
25:37
I would think so.
25:38
And then the, uh,
25:39
the farmer's launch literally has his name
25:41
written on it,
25:41
even though he's not the longest legged
25:44
of, uh, of people,
25:45
but he is in fact a former.
25:48
So he's got that going for him.
25:50
Yeah.
25:52
So we have all six.
25:54
What are your, do you have a,
25:55
do you have a podium?
25:57
No, I did not.
25:59
The podium has changed or the roster has
26:02
changed.
26:02
I have to actually go back and look
26:03
and see all the people that are going
26:06
at this point.
26:07
Really,
26:07
the only people that I would even say
26:09
are at the top of the list that
26:11
aren't coming are Ariel and Chris Ibarra.
26:14
Okay.
26:18
Let's see.
26:19
We got some squatting.
26:20
We got some lunging.
26:36
My pick for the men is Jeff Adler.
26:42
And it's been my pick the whole time,
26:43
even before the workouts released.
26:45
I think there is a wide variety of
26:47
stuff that is going to happen.
26:49
Colton is not great at handstand walks.
26:53
If it was handstand pushups, yes.
26:55
Handstand walks, no.
26:57
And you couple that with rope climbs,
27:00
that's not going to be a great event
27:01
for him.
27:04
Jeff Adler is going to be top five
27:06
in all of this stuff.
27:11
So I have Adler to win.
27:14
I'm going to go...
27:21
I'm going to go Hopper second,
27:26
Colton third.
27:27
Oh, man.
27:35
I would probably go Hadfield, Hopper,
27:40
Colton.
27:43
Hadfield?
27:45
Just because, yeah, Austin.
27:48
And I could be way off base for
27:49
this, but he trains there all the time.
27:53
These are all mayhem events.
27:54
These are all programmed by mayhems.
27:55
This is all stuff that I'm giving him
27:57
the mayhem bias at this point.
28:01
And
28:02
Yeah,
28:03
Hopper second just based off his recent
28:04
performances.
28:06
Everything that's been thrown at him so
28:07
far, he's been fantastic at.
28:09
And Colton third because I just can't ever
28:12
count him out.
28:15
And look, there's some hitters in there,
28:17
dude.
28:17
I mean, you're looking at Roman, Adler.
28:18
If you don't have Adler on the podium,
28:20
you're nuts.
28:20
Okay, well,
28:22
you can call him nuts if you need
28:23
to.
28:23
Because there's nothing outside the box,
28:29
and that is the only thing that Jeff
28:30
Adler is bad at.
28:33
He's going to win the run.
28:35
Well,
28:35
we don't know what else is on the
28:36
run.
28:37
He's still going to win it.
28:38
Okay.
28:40
And he may well look,
28:43
I am well aware of the fact that
28:44
I'm probably going to be wrong.
28:47
Everybody just forgets about Jeff.
28:49
Like the last real full games we had,
28:53
he won.
28:57
Twenty-three was the last time we had full
29:00
outdoor, full version of the games.
29:03
He won.
29:06
Twenty-four, things got eliminated.
29:08
Things got cut.
29:10
And then twenty-five, it was all indoors,
29:15
except for that one run.
29:25
Joseph says no wrong.
29:26
He says it's not a straight road run.
29:27
He's not winning.
29:29
He's winning.
29:33
I am curious, dude.
29:34
Like I said.
29:35
It baffles my mind that everybody forgets
29:37
how good this dude is.
29:40
I'm not saying he's not good,
29:42
but with the depth of field that there
29:45
is and the varied events that there are,
29:50
It could be easily like there could be
29:52
some home run hitters in there on some
29:53
of these events that come out of nowhere
29:55
that we don't even know about.
29:58
And I think that Austin and especially
30:01
Hopper and definitely Colton handle that
30:03
kind of stuff a little bit better.
30:06
I'm not saying Adler's one percent top
30:08
five.
30:09
I think your top five is the top
30:11
five people that are on there on that
30:12
at the top of that list right now.
30:14
The only person I would really trade out
30:16
would be Adler.
30:20
Is that Saxon or is that Spencer?
30:22
Saxon.
30:23
I would trade out Saxon for Roman as
30:26
far as the top five.
30:28
And literally the top five list right
30:30
there is probably...
30:31
Saxon's my dark horse.
30:33
Yeah.
30:34
Because I don't think there's anything
30:35
he's bad at here either.
30:37
Negative.
30:39
And I actually was debating between him
30:42
and Colton for third.
30:44
But I think there's a couple of home
30:45
runs here for Colton.
30:46
Yeah.
30:49
Um, Vicky says,
30:53
and it's not coming up for some reason.
30:55
There we go.
30:55
Now people know he's good and just no
30:57
one likes him.
31:01
I have been,
31:01
I've been a Jeff Adler fan since like
31:03
twenty twenty.
31:05
He still has the best line from any
31:08
of the,
31:09
and I'll die on this hill or somebody
31:12
will anyway,
31:12
from any one of the documentaries,
31:15
the games documentaries in twenty twenty
31:17
when he just pointed at frickin Matt
31:19
Fraser said,
31:20
I don't give a shit who is the
31:21
next one.
31:22
As long as it's not him.
31:26
Terry says, I agree.
31:26
Scott Adler wins.
31:30
So there it is.
31:32
Those are our picks for the men.
31:34
On the women's side, again, Lowen is out.
31:38
Yep.
31:38
But we still have this group.
31:44
My picks are Paige to win.
31:48
Paige Powers, that is.
31:49
Yep.
31:49
Paige Rogers.
31:52
And then I'm going Lucy Campbell,
31:55
Emma Lawson.
31:56
No, I'm going Emma Lawson,
31:57
then Lucy Campbell.
31:58
I got it.
32:01
Lucy, Paige, and Olivia.
32:04
In that order.
32:05
Lucy, Campbell, Paige, Rogers.
32:09
And Olivia Kirsten.
32:13
I love Emily Rolfe to death.
32:15
I don't see her punching her ticket this
32:18
round.
32:18
Although Gabby is a wild card at this
32:21
point.
32:22
Lucy has, I mean,
32:24
Lito makes a great point.
32:25
No heavy lift is good for Lucy Campbell.
32:27
And it's good for Emily Rolfe.
32:33
Depending on what's partnered with the
32:35
run,
32:36
Emily's probably going to win the run.
32:38
Right.
32:42
More than likely.
32:42
This women's field is stacked, dude.
32:45
Really?
32:48
Gabby's still, in my opinion,
32:49
Gabby's still a wild card because we have
32:53
no idea what her... I mean, Kyra.
32:55
Good Lord, dude.
32:57
Lexi Neely.
32:59
That final for Kyra is going to be...
33:03
Home run.
33:04
Yeah, one percent.
33:07
She's going to crush that bench.
33:12
Yeah,
33:12
Kyra's probably the wild card for me.
33:15
Yeah, one hundred percent.
33:19
She could mess some things up this
33:21
weekend.
33:22
I mean, dude,
33:24
the women's field is going to be the
33:25
one to watch.
33:27
Kyra.
33:29
Liz Wishart, who is in...
33:31
That's another wild card because she could
33:32
mess some stuff up for some people.
33:34
Lucy McGonigal.
33:36
Hattie.
33:37
Domet.
33:38
I mean, goodness.
33:39
Reese Littlewood.
33:41
There's no heavy lift.
33:43
Reese could come out of nowhere and take
33:45
one of those spots.
33:47
Yeah.
33:47
That's going to be... I mean,
33:49
people forget Reese almost went to the
33:51
games last year at Syndicate.
33:54
Yeah.
33:55
She was in the run.
33:56
This is...
33:59
I mean, Ariel's the only one.
34:01
Who took Ariel's place?
34:05
I know there's Caroline Stanley is in
34:09
there.
34:11
She's another one.
34:12
That's not a joker.
34:14
No, that's not.
34:20
It's going to be crazy, dude.
34:24
Joseph Ramirez says Haley's winning the
34:25
run.
34:26
I ain't picking Haley to win nothing until
34:27
she shows me something.
34:31
Nope.
34:31
Love, Haley, Death.
34:32
I love that train.
34:34
Love, Haley, Death.
34:35
Big fan, but like... I don't know, dude.
34:39
Maddie Faust, Olivia Geisthardt,
34:45
and Caroline Stanley and Rebecca Fuseli.
34:49
Oh, Rebecca Fuseli.
34:50
The no heavyweights helps Rebecca.
34:53
It does.
34:56
It does.
34:56
I don't know if there's enough
34:59
of gymnastic-y stuff in there for the
35:02
background.
35:03
Although that muscle-up workout with the
35:04
squat, she's not tall,
35:06
shorter range of motion.
35:08
Those two muscle-up workouts,
35:10
she could crush that one.
35:12
She's always fun to watch regardless of
35:14
what's going on, dude.
35:14
Yeah,
35:17
so the women's side is definitely going to
35:18
be the one to watch as far as
35:19
that's concerned.
35:23
There's ten women that could make some
35:26
noise this weekend.
35:28
Yep.
35:32
Ortega,
35:33
Haley is back to training like she has
35:34
something to prove if you haven't been
35:36
paying attention.
35:37
Good.
35:38
Where I pay attention, Jonathan,
35:40
is how it shows up on the floor.
35:45
And for the last year and a half,
35:47
Haley hasn't shown up on the floor.
35:52
Would love to see it.
35:54
Would love to see it.
35:55
I'm not dogging her.
35:57
Just before I pick her for anything,
35:59
I need to see it on the floor.
36:01
I want to see her on the floor.
36:03
Let me tell you something.
36:04
Since day one, dude,
36:05
I always thought Hailey was fantastic,
36:08
right?
36:08
Just needed to put some strength on.
36:10
Obviously,
36:10
that was always her Achilles heel.
36:12
I want to see her win.
36:15
If I'm being completely honest,
36:16
I would love to see her at the
36:18
very least standing on the podium.
36:21
But last couple years, man, I mean,
36:25
what are you going to do?
36:26
Her performances have not been
36:29
what we would consider to be Haley.
36:30
Like the stuff that she was normally good
36:32
on.
36:32
She has not been good on.
36:34
So Ortega says she's trained like a mad
36:36
woman.
36:36
Like she has something to prove.
36:38
Good.
36:39
Good.
36:39
Let us see her.
36:40
Let's see her come out and prove it.
36:44
Ortega says, good.
36:45
Don't pick her.
36:46
Pick Reese.
36:46
Ortega is a big fan of Reese.
36:50
I'm a huge fan of Reese.
36:52
I think she's going to be special someday.
36:56
Um, she, cause she's like.
36:58
Right.
37:01
She's a baby.
37:04
She got plenty of time to be special
37:07
and it may be this weekend.
37:12
I hope it is.
37:12
Like I said, dude,
37:14
I I'm all for a good race.
37:15
Like, let's see, you know,
37:16
especially when people come out of nowhere
37:18
and like throw a wrench in the leaderboard
37:20
and all of a sudden somebody who was
37:21
in first is now in fifth because somebody
37:23
who was in fifteenth won an event.
37:26
And like came out of nowhere and just
37:27
smacked the whole thing around.
37:28
I'm a huge fan of that.
37:31
Like,
37:31
I don't like seeing say that I'm not
37:34
as much invested in it when somebody is
37:37
just running away with it.
37:40
Uh, train says Haley looks super fit.
37:42
So we'll see, um,
37:47
not to get back into wrestling talk,
37:48
but real Ripley is taking on.
37:52
this woman,
37:52
I don't even know her name and her
37:55
phrase to her is you look,
37:59
your body was made to look good.
38:01
My body was made to beat your ass.
38:04
Right.
38:07
So looks don't matter to me.
38:08
No, no.
38:14
I mean, no offense to no Olson,
38:15
but like,
38:16
or Chandler Smith,
38:18
but if you just look at those two
38:20
guys without shirts on,
38:22
they look like if you're going off of
38:23
looks alone,
38:24
they should have won the games multiple
38:26
times between the two of them.
38:28
It should have been a dogfight between the
38:29
two of them.
38:30
Yeah.
38:34
If the optics test is all you're going
38:36
off of,
38:37
then that doesn't mean a whole lot.
38:40
Dan Bailey looked like he should win the
38:42
CrossFit Games.
38:43
Dan Bailey's another one.
38:45
Dan Bailey looks like,
38:46
Dan Bailey looks like he could have won
38:48
the CrossFit Games,
38:49
went to a bodybuilding or like a physique
38:52
figure competition, won that,
38:54
and then went back to his boat.
38:57
Like the dude was absolutely ridiculous.
38:59
Got to make sure they are go muscles,
39:01
not show muscles.
39:02
Yeah.
39:03
Bingo.
39:03
And look, those guys are still fit.
39:09
Right?
39:10
It's not like they're not fit, but...
39:13
As the voice of the CrossFit Games said
39:15
a long time ago,
39:15
you don't know how good you have to
39:16
be to suck at the CrossFit Games.
39:20
So you can roll up at Mark Phillips.
39:23
Absolutely.
39:24
Chandler looks like he would win anything.
39:27
Like every test you put in front of
39:28
him, you'd be like, yep, got that.
39:30
Yep, got that.
39:30
Yep, got that.
39:32
And he was okay.
39:34
What was Chandler's best finish?
39:35
Fifth, sixth, something like that,
39:37
which is phenomenal.
39:39
But the dude looks like he was carved
39:41
out of freaking pure stone.
39:48
I got something to show.
39:49
Well, damn it.
39:53
Okay.
39:55
Okay.
39:55
This makes my point exactly.
40:00
When this guy showed up at the NFL
40:02
Combine,
40:02
you said that's going to be the greatest
40:06
quarterback to ever play the game.
40:08
Dude.
40:15
So him and Drew Brees,
40:18
if you saw Drew Brees on the street,
40:20
you'd be like that dude.
40:22
Yeah.
40:23
That dude.
40:24
When Tom Brady showed up at the NFL
40:26
combined, that is what he looked like.
40:30
And no one would have ever,
40:32
ever thought he was going to win,
40:35
be the greatest quarterback to ever play
40:37
the game.
40:39
And it hurts my heart to even say
40:40
that he is, but he is.
40:48
Show muscles versus go muscles.
40:52
Carolyn Prevost,
40:53
I'm an F tier for Andrew's rankings and
40:55
I do okay.
40:59
You do pretty good, Carolyn.
41:00
You do all right.
41:01
Yeah.
41:04
I'd say you do pretty good.
41:05
Pretty good.
41:10
Kipping actually makes a good point here.
41:14
She could make dramatic improvements from
41:16
where she was and still come in tenth.
41:19
It is just a stacked field.
41:21
It's going to be so fun to watch.
41:24
I love the fact that now that nobody,
41:28
no one person aside from Tia,
41:30
who was out this year,
41:32
is just dominating everybody, right?
41:35
And so, like, this year again,
41:37
who's going to win?
41:39
Pick a name out of a hat.
41:40
You really have no idea.
41:43
Men's side, wide-ass open.
41:44
Women's side, no Tia, wide-ass open.
41:48
It's absolutely wild.
41:51
Jay Birch says,
41:51
Caroline has a well-trained phosphagen
41:53
system.
41:55
And if you tried to get through three
41:57
hours and fifteen minutes of John Wood,
42:01
you would understand it entirely.
42:05
I did not.
42:11
How many times will the leader jersey
42:12
change?
42:13
On the women's side,
42:14
I could see it changing four or five
42:16
times.
42:17
Over the course of the games?
42:19
Yeah, absolutely.
42:19
No, no.
42:20
Over the course of Mayhem.
42:22
Oh, yeah.
42:22
No.
42:23
There's six events, dude.
42:25
It wouldn't surprise me if it changed four
42:26
times.
42:28
That wouldn't shock me at all.
42:30
Like, in the least.
42:32
It was like, oh, yeah, this person.
42:33
Oh, wait, no.
42:34
We just had another event.
42:35
They just swapped it up.
42:36
And then the next event, yep,
42:37
we just swapped it up again.
42:38
Like, that wouldn't surprise me.
42:40
at all.
42:41
I think it's going to be a case
42:43
of, especially on the women's side,
42:45
it's either going to switch after every
42:47
event or somebody is going to come out
42:50
and have it the entire weekend.
42:52
I don't think there's going to be any,
42:53
any kind of in between where it's like,
42:55
Oh, they went back and forth just one,
42:57
one time.
42:57
I really don't think that's going to
42:58
happen.
42:59
If you're just looking at it and you
43:00
say,
43:00
Emily Rolfe's winning the first event,
43:03
I don't think she's holding on for the
43:04
entire time.
43:06
So it's at least changing once.
43:09
Train all of them.
43:10
Holding out hope for Staheli.
43:12
And I might be the only one.
43:14
It reminds me of a famous line someone
43:16
said.
43:16
Hope is not a strategy.
43:21
I hope she does well too.
43:24
She is and was an icon of this
43:26
sport.
43:28
At such a young age.
43:30
But I'm going to say this too.
43:32
I'm so glad she's found happiness in life.
43:36
Because
43:37
through it all,
43:38
that is more important than how you finish
43:40
at mayhem.
43:43
All right.
43:43
The games, dude,
43:44
all this shit is fleeting, right?
43:48
All this shit.
43:48
And she's still so young.
43:51
And for her to have figured it out
43:54
and started eating filled out and is happy
43:58
in who she is and is healthy and
44:01
is looking like she's going to live a
44:03
long time.
44:03
God bless her.
44:05
Absolutely.
44:08
Jay Birch trying to like make everybody
44:10
happy today.
44:11
Tristan, are you still Hattie's coach?
44:13
You can find out the answer to that
44:15
by checking out episode four of the
44:19
documentary as soon as it comes out.
44:24
And I did get word from my videographer
44:27
that I should have the videos for the
44:28
workouts today.
44:30
That means I can wrap that one up,
44:32
get it out,
44:33
and then all four episodes will be
44:34
available hopefully by the end of the
44:37
weekend.
44:40
Nice.
44:40
Again, if you're a member of the channel,
44:42
you'll get it about you'll get it about
44:46
forty eight hours before everybody else.
44:53
Mark.
44:53
Everyone I gave memberships to want a
44:55
refund because no episode four yet.
44:58
We make no claims for quality or time
45:01
on this podcast.
45:02
You get what you get and you don't
45:03
throw a fit.
45:06
So, Mark,
45:09
anybody who asked for a refund for
45:11
something free doesn't deserve episode
45:15
four.
45:16
No,
45:17
that's like that saying that if you loan
45:18
somebody twenty dollars and you never see
45:21
them again,
45:22
it was worth every single penny.
45:24
It's the same type deal.
45:26
Somebody's bitching about something that's
45:27
free that you gave them,
45:29
then they don't deserve your time anyway.
45:34
Yeah, but that'll come out soon.
45:36
Again, once the entire thing is done,
45:39
I just have to slide in the workout
45:42
montages and then we'll be good to go.
45:45
And this episode is really, really good.
45:49
Really good.
45:51
I think like,
45:53
i'm critiquing my own work which is stupid
45:55
but episode one before they start the
45:58
games in episode four are the best two
46:02
and then so one really good like i
46:04
really like that kind of stuff where you
46:06
you know the lead up and getting ready
46:09
and and the the conversation between uh
46:12
her and tristan like i enjoyed that a
46:14
whole lot yeah we we even brought in
46:19
hattie's partner
46:21
Talking about how they met and what his
46:24
role is through the whole thing.
46:26
That's an episode one.
46:28
And then, like I said, episode four,
46:31
after the games were over,
46:32
I got a good sit down with both
46:34
Tristan and Hattie.
46:35
And all of that is an episode four.
46:41
I met with Tristan Sunday night and Hattie
46:44
Monday morning.
46:46
And yeah.
46:48
Hattie, she's talked for twenty,
46:50
twenty five minutes.
46:52
So I had a lot of editing to
46:53
do there.
46:56
But it's good stuff.
46:57
It's good stuff.
46:59
Chatty.
47:02
And I was worried about Tristan.
47:04
Tristan is the one that once I get
47:06
him into questions, I get the long form.
47:11
I begged him not to give me long
47:12
form,
47:13
and his was way shorter than Hattie's.
47:17
That's why Tristan and I get along so
47:18
well.
47:22
Yeah,
47:23
so I was proud of Tristan at the
47:24
end.
47:25
Oh, while Tristan's in the chat.
47:27
Tristan, you coming to Birmingham?
47:28
You got any athletes coming over there?
47:32
I was tired, dawg.
47:35
Now I know the secret.
47:37

47:39
