  Oh my gosh.

  Like, subscribe, join, do all that stuff.
• 2:12
  It is crazy.
• 2:14
  As we catch up, I have to know,
• 2:17
  I got a picture from Jamie
• 2:18
  today that her son hit a
• 2:20
  cone in his driver's test.
• 2:22
  Did he pass?
• 2:23
  He did pass.
• 2:26
  I thought if you knocked a cone over,
• 2:29
  you were like,
• 2:31
  automatically fail I don't
• 2:33
  know if that rule has
• 2:34
  changed um but yeah so you
• 2:36
  had to start in the parking
• 2:37
  lot and do you know get up
• 2:39
  to the line back into a
• 2:41
  spot and then parallel park
• 2:42
  he did great in the first
• 2:43
  two actually I thought he
• 2:45
  was gonna hit a cone
• 2:45
  backing in but he and the
• 2:47
  dude was like that was the
• 2:48
  best recovery I've ever
• 2:49
  seen like he skirted it
• 2:50
  like perfectly and then he
• 2:52
  parallel parked and I was
• 2:53
  like oh no we are we're done I was like
• 2:58
  He like went back and over
• 3:00
  and then corrected way too soon.
• 3:02
  Like he was not in the spot at all.
• 3:04
  And I was like, he's not going to make it.
• 3:05
  I was like,
• 3:05
  he needs to pull forward and
• 3:06
  just like restart this whole thing.
• 3:08
  But he backed up, hit a cone,
• 3:10
  knocked it over.
• 3:11
  And the guy was like, you got six points.
• 3:13
  You can't get more than six
• 3:15
  points to continue on with the road part.
• 3:17
  He was like, so let's go on the road.
• 3:19
  And I guess he did great on the road.
• 3:22
  CJ says Florida just passed
• 3:24
  a law that there's a fifty
• 3:25
  hour class for new drivers
• 3:27
  getting a license now mandatory.
• 3:29
  We have we have like you
• 3:31
  have to take a road course
• 3:33
  for like thirty hours, I think, in Ohio.
• 3:36
  We had so he had to log
• 3:38
  fifty hours and twenty of
• 3:40
  those have to be night hours.
• 3:41
  So, yeah, he did all that.
• 3:44
  I guess I don't fifty hour.
• 3:46
  I don't know what the class was.
• 3:47
  He was in it for.
• 3:49
  two weeks I think I mean it
• 3:51
  was it was kind of a long
• 3:52
  process that was like he's
• 3:54
  eighteen now so he did his
• 3:55
  he like took our training
• 3:56
  at fifteen years old and
• 3:59
  we've been at this a while
• 4:00
  he just uh barry mcconner
• 4:04
  asks what's the driver's
• 4:05
  test like in canada
• 4:08
  I don't remember any cones
• 4:09
  in our driver's test.
• 4:10
  We were just put on the road.
• 4:14
  I did the driving school and stuff first,
• 4:16
  and then we're on the road,
• 4:17
  and we go on the highway at some point.
• 4:20
  We do three-point turns, parallel park,
• 4:22
  all of that,
• 4:23
  which is why I think it's crazy.
• 4:25
  I don't remember cones anyways.
• 4:27
  To me, it's like if someone hits a cone,
• 4:28
  I feel like that.
• 4:30
  I'm old,
• 4:30
  so we didn't have cones either
• 4:32
  back in my day.
• 4:33
  You either parallel parked
• 4:35
  in a real parking spot, or you failed.
• 4:38
  yeah I would almost rather
• 4:39
  that but so I can see I'm
• 4:43
  not wanting to like bump a
• 4:45
  car either I mean you kind
• 4:47
  of need stuff there right
• 4:48
  like you would need to
• 4:49
  parallel park between cars
• 4:50
  and they probably don't
• 4:50
  want that liability of
• 4:51
  somebody bumping a car so
• 4:53
  yeah um carolyn did you
• 4:59
  guys get to finish happy gilmore too
• 5:01
  We did.
• 5:02
  We watched that today.
• 5:03
  It was funny.
• 5:05
  I know what to expect when
• 5:08
  you watch an Adam Sandler movie.
• 5:09
  It's just little jokes and stuff.
• 5:12
  Yeah, it was good.
• 5:16
  Julie and I watched it last night.
• 5:17
  We really enjoyed it.
• 5:18
  It was a lot of fun.
• 5:20
  But
• 5:22
  the premise of the, and I'm not,
• 5:23
  no spoilers here.
• 5:24
  The premise of the,
• 5:25
  of the movie is that
• 5:27
  they're taking on a competitor,
• 5:29
  a competitor golf league.
• 5:31
  And Lex texted me tonight and says,
• 5:34
  isn't that just like the WFP?
• 5:36
  And I could not stop laughing.
• 5:39
  I could not stop laughing.
• 5:40
  If you've seen the movie and
• 5:42
  you now put the WFP on this,
• 5:45
  on the other golf league,
• 5:47
  it makes me want to howl.
• 5:50
  especially now no spoilers
• 5:51
  like when they had the
• 5:52
  introductions of the
• 5:53
  players at the end you know
• 5:56
  we were talking about it
• 5:58
  and yeah so that's that's
• 5:59
  what came up in our minds
• 6:00
  when that happened if you
• 6:03
  have not seen it and you
• 6:04
  watch it have that in your
• 6:06
  mind as you're watching the
• 6:07
  other leg I'm sure they
• 6:10
  were thinking live the live
• 6:13
  tour but same same thing
• 6:19
  All right.
• 6:20
  Yes, Judy Reed.
• 6:22
  You heard about Landman here a while back.
• 6:27
  I'm waiting for season two.
• 6:30
  We've got a lot to get into.
• 6:33
  I want to start with just asking Carolyn.
• 6:35
  It is games week.
• 6:37
  You've got to start packing.
• 6:40
  What all is going through
• 6:41
  your head as you are
• 6:42
  preparing to go to the
• 6:44
  games for your fourth time now?
• 6:50
  I just packed this afternoon.
• 6:51
  I leave tomorrow morning.
• 6:55
  Yeah, I mean, it went by super,
• 6:57
  super fast.
• 6:58
  Obviously,
• 7:00
  an unexpected call to the games
• 7:02
  about four, four weeks ago,
• 7:04
  four and a half weeks ago.
• 7:07
  But yeah,
• 7:07
  it's just kind of like it just
• 7:09
  gone like the summer just
• 7:10
  gone by so fast.
• 7:12
  One,
• 7:12
  because I don't work in the summer as
• 7:14
  a teacher.
• 7:15
  So, yeah, it's just it's already here.
• 7:18
  So I was packing and I was
• 7:19
  trying to think of things to bring.
• 7:21
  like knowing the events that are coming up,
• 7:24
  things I can maybe leave at home.
• 7:26
  Yeah.
• 7:27
  So it's just,
• 7:28
  just last minute stuff and
• 7:29
  then making sure that I
• 7:30
  have everything for when I arrive there.
• 7:32
  And then yeah,
• 7:33
  groceries when I get in tomorrow,
• 7:35
  or actually I get in too
• 7:36
  late tomorrow for groceries, but I have,
• 7:38
  Lex already packed me a
• 7:39
  bunch of snacks for the,
• 7:41
  for the flight and at least
• 7:42
  for my day tomorrow.
• 7:43
  So yeah, it'll be a check-in on Tuesday.
• 7:48
  Tuesday morning for me is check-in.
• 7:50
  Lana says, good luck at the games,
• 7:51
  Carolyn.
• 7:54
  Amanda Hari, good luck, Carolyn.
• 7:57
  Amanda's one of the people
• 7:58
  I'm excited to see.
• 7:59
  We got to hang out last year
• 8:01
  with all the bad stuff that
• 8:02
  happened at the games.
• 8:03
  I'm hoping we get a good
• 8:04
  experience this year to hang out.
• 8:09
  Looks like you got some goodies.
• 8:12
  You got the Yeti set.
• 8:13
  You got your belt.
• 8:17
  Yeah.
• 8:17
  Yeah.
• 8:17
  So that all arrived all this weekend.
• 8:19
  So the amount of boxes that
• 8:20
  came to Lex's place is
• 8:22
  crazy because each item was
• 8:25
  in like a specific box for
• 8:27
  the for the Yeti.
• 8:28
  So that was yeah,
• 8:30
  that was that was super exciting.
• 8:33
  Probably a dream collaboration like this.
• 8:36
  to have yeti like for the
• 8:38
  last few years I've been
• 8:39
  trying to get um just a
• 8:42
  soft cooler from yeti so to
• 8:44
  have all of that arrive I
• 8:46
  was you know super super
• 8:48
  happy um and then I got a
• 8:49
  belt made from herd I don't
• 8:51
  know if you guys saw the
• 8:52
  little um coat I put on it
• 8:56
  legs feed the wolf
• 8:57
  so that's a um homage to my
• 9:01
  wisconsin days um and the
• 9:04
  miracle on ice with her
• 9:06
  brooks saying um legs feed
• 9:08
  the wolf and in our
• 9:09
  training in wisconsin
• 9:10
  that's what we always said
• 9:12
  um so the w is in red and
• 9:14
  it which is kind of like a little
• 9:17
  not to my UW days.
• 9:20
  And yeah, it's a,
• 9:22
  it's a saying that I've
• 9:23
  always said whenever I
• 9:25
  train and it's like a quote
• 9:27
  that I've always liked.
• 9:29
  So, and that was,
• 9:30
  that was by herd and you have a,
• 9:33
  you're doing a partnership
• 9:34
  for the games with them and
• 9:34
  that belt and all that, or.
• 9:37
  Yep.
• 9:37
  So they send a bunch of
• 9:38
  clothes to got that in.
• 9:44
  I think it was Friday night.
• 9:45
  I was at the,
• 9:46
  I went to go watch my first
• 9:48
  WNBA game this weekend, the Valkyries.
• 9:50
  So that was super fun.
• 9:52
  So when I got,
• 9:52
  it was while I was at the venue.
• 9:55
  So when I came back,
• 9:56
  I had the box of herds.
• 9:57
  So that was super exciting.
• 9:58
  Yeah.
• 9:58
  So belt, tape, sweat bands,
• 10:03
  and a bunch of shirts to wear.
• 10:05
  So excited for that hookup.
• 10:08
  Yeah.
• 10:10
  Ken Walters is happy because
• 10:11
  a Canadian gave a nod to a
• 10:13
  U S Olympic team.
• 10:14
  I mean, I mean,
• 10:19
  Mark Johnson was my coach
• 10:20
  who was on that miracle on ice team.
• 10:22
  So I think that's pretty cool.
• 10:24
  And yeah, I like,
• 10:26
  I like the meaning of the saying as well.
• 10:28
  And just how like, you know,
• 10:30
  your preparation is what's
• 10:33
  going to drive you forward on,
• 10:35
  you know,
• 10:36
  the game day and everything is
• 10:39
  built from the legs.
• 10:40
  That's your foundation.
• 10:42
  Uh, Jeanette Prevost.
• 10:43
  Good luck.
• 10:45
  Bonne chance, Carolyn.
• 10:48
  Bonne chance.
• 10:49
  Bonne chance.
• 10:51
  I am not,
• 10:52
  French is not one of my languages.
• 10:57
  Um, I tried to pull up your cool stuff,
• 10:58
  but you put it in your story.
• 11:00
  So they're all gone.
• 11:06
  Bad move, bad move for a podcaster.
• 11:11
  Okay.
• 11:12
  So we also want to talk
• 11:15
  about some events that have
• 11:16
  been posted this week.
• 11:18
  Two of them that since we
• 11:19
  weren't went live Monday night,
• 11:22
  and that is event five,
• 11:29
  which is our one rep max
• 11:32
  back squat event.
• 11:35
  Any thoughts on that?
• 11:39
  When it came up,
• 11:40
  I was excited for not a
• 11:42
  clean and jerk or snatch masks.
• 11:45
  I typically like back
• 11:46
  squatting or squatting in general.
• 11:49
  I don't know that my numbers
• 11:50
  are where they used to be,
• 11:51
  but it's better for me than
• 11:54
  the alternative of the Olympic lifts.
• 11:57
  So I like the deadlifts, the back squats,
• 12:00
  the more traditional powerlifting stuff.
• 12:04
  Jamie sent me a pukey emoji
• 12:06
  when she saw it, meaning she hates it,
• 12:09
  which means I love it.
• 12:14
  I just... I don't... I never
• 12:17
  like the lifting events.
• 12:19
  I don't like three attempts.
• 12:22
  Again, if you want to go watch lifting,
• 12:25
  go watch a powerlifting
• 12:26
  meet or an Olympic lifting meet.
• 12:29
  And if you really want to see...
• 12:31
  what these people can lift I
• 12:32
  just say throw ten minutes
• 12:34
  on the clock and see what
• 12:35
  they can hit like I don't
• 12:36
  like the limitations to it
• 12:39
  um where did you see three
• 12:42
  rep three attempts I don't
• 12:44
  know I swear I saw that
• 12:45
  somewhere I've not been able to find it
• 12:48
  for me it's just it's this I
• 12:52
  I for any max lift it's the
• 12:54
  thing about crossfit that I
• 12:55
  hate in terms of safety and
• 12:57
  it's the corral time of
• 12:59
  waiting so long and then
• 13:01
  going to max out with few
• 13:02
  lifts to me that's reckless
• 13:05
  I hate that about our sport
• 13:06
  like we don't see that in
• 13:07
  other sports where you know
• 13:08
  olympic lifting they're in
• 13:09
  the back working out and
• 13:10
  then they can get at least
• 13:12
  to their weight when they
• 13:13
  go onto the floor and
• 13:14
  they're already ready but to
• 13:16
  you know to put a load on
• 13:18
  your back or a max snatch
• 13:20
  or clean and jerk whatever
• 13:21
  it is and you've waited
• 13:23
  even ten minutes like
• 13:24
  that's it's a lot um so
• 13:29
  I've always hated that
• 13:30
  about our sport so I hope
• 13:33
  that like and I know that
• 13:34
  they won't allow us to like
• 13:36
  put a load on the bar and
• 13:37
  just do a couple squats
• 13:38
  before you start but I just
• 13:39
  think it's reckless
• 13:40
  that's just my opinion and
• 13:42
  not just like all the all
• 13:44
  the lifting every event is
• 13:45
  like that um my hope is
• 13:47
  it's just it's just like
• 13:49
  the sandbag clean where
• 13:51
  they have four lines they
• 13:53
  have like four racks four
• 13:55
  people go in each time
• 13:57
  frame and it's a line and
• 13:58
  you're just going until
• 13:59
  people are out and then as
• 14:01
  the people reduce you
• 14:02
  shrink it down to two lines
• 14:04
  shrink it down to one line
• 14:06
  and then you're going
• 14:06
  through and so you're going
• 14:08
  up the ladder which is safer
• 14:11
  draws it out a little bit more,
• 14:13
  makes it a little bit more exciting.
• 14:15
  And then it gives us the
• 14:16
  opportunity to have tiebreakers,
• 14:17
  which I have been a
• 14:18
  proponent that need to be
• 14:19
  added because they can be
• 14:20
  just as exciting as the main event.
• 14:25
  yeah so as long as yeah as
• 14:28
  long as it's not like um I
• 14:30
  mean I think the rogue one
• 14:31
  was super long with the
• 14:32
  deadlift and had a lot a
• 14:33
  lot of attempts but if
• 14:35
  there was some sort of just
• 14:36
  you know build up to a
• 14:38
  certain amount and then it
• 14:39
  gets to smaller increases
• 14:40
  and you can decide to go in
• 14:41
  or out kind of like a in a
• 14:44
  weightlifting meet you know
• 14:47
  they have that no one wants
• 14:48
  to go okay we go up we go
• 14:49
  up um would be pretty cool
• 14:52
  um because you don't you
• 14:53
  also don't want to be doing like
• 14:55
  a ridiculous amount at each weight,
• 14:57
  but yeah,
• 14:58
  I'm excited to see the format of it.
• 15:00
  Um, I do like that event.
• 15:03
  Yeah.
• 15:05
  We also had event eight, which is a forty,
• 15:11
  forty calorie echo bike,
• 15:13
  one hundred foot yoke carry,
• 15:14
  thirty deficit handstand pushups,
• 15:16
  yoke carry, forty, fifty,
• 15:19
  forty echo bike at the end.
• 15:22
  Up and down little mini chipper.
• 15:30
  I think this one is going to
• 15:32
  separate itself on the
• 15:33
  deficit handstand push-up
• 15:35
  and the rest that you may need for that,
• 15:38
  like in between your sets.
• 15:39
  Like to me,
• 15:40
  it's a parallel handstand
• 15:41
  push-up workout.
• 15:42
  And then the yoke seems irrelevant.
• 15:44
  I would have preferred the
• 15:45
  yoke on each end because I
• 15:47
  think that would have been
• 15:48
  cool to see coming off that last bike.
• 15:51
  And then seeing who's going
• 15:52
  to take the yoke on broken.
• 15:54
  Like,
• 15:54
  is there going to be a change of lead
• 15:56
  there?
• 15:56
  If it was heavy enough where
• 15:57
  people like are tired,
• 15:58
  maybe biked a little bit
• 15:59
  too fast and then don't
• 16:01
  pick up the yoke right away.
• 16:02
  You just see that finish a
• 16:03
  little bit better.
• 16:04
  I think it would have looked
• 16:05
  better with the yoke on each end,
• 16:07
  but I still think it comes
• 16:08
  down to those deficit handstand pushups.
• 16:11
  Cause if you could save a
• 16:12
  lot of time there, even if you echo bike,
• 16:15
  you know, at a couple RPMs different,
• 16:17
  I think it's,
• 16:19
  going to come down to the
• 16:20
  proficiency of the handstand push-ups.
• 16:22
  And if you're proficient at everything,
• 16:23
  then it's going to be a
• 16:24
  great workout for you.
• 16:26
  Yeah, I totally agree.
• 16:27
  It's a parallette handstand push-up.
• 16:30
  Well, yeah.
• 16:31
  Does it say parallette for
• 16:33
  the deficit or is it?
• 16:35
  Well, that was just on their video.
• 16:36
  Oh, okay.
• 16:36
  It was parallette kipping.
• 16:40
  And I mean, there could be twists.
• 16:42
  We have no idea.
• 16:43
  Right.
• 16:44
  It was a pretty significant deficit.
• 16:47
  Yeah,
• 16:47
  it's probably the full parallette for
• 16:48
  men in like
• 16:49
  an ab mat for women.
• 16:52
  Yeah.
• 16:52
  I definitely think this is
• 16:53
  going to be a handstand
• 16:54
  pushup capacity workout.
• 16:56
  Thirty is a dense set.
• 16:58
  And if you went too hard to start,
• 17:02
  you're in trouble.
• 17:02
  You're down to singles.
• 17:03
  You're failing reps.
• 17:04
  And so much time can be lost there.
• 17:07
  I totally agree, though.
• 17:08
  You know when people bike a
• 17:10
  little too hard and get off
• 17:11
  the bike and can barely walk?
• 17:14
  I would have loved to seen that.
• 17:15
  Try to pick up that yoke and
• 17:16
  get that across.
• 17:18
  But yeah, it's a good event.
• 17:20
  I'm with Carolyn.
• 17:21
  I said it on Friday show
• 17:23
  that if they would have
• 17:24
  ended with the yoke,
• 17:25
  I think it would have been
• 17:25
  pretty dramatic because you
• 17:27
  would see races visually to the,
• 17:30
  to the end.
• 17:30
  Right.
• 17:32
  And that I think would have
• 17:33
  been more visually
• 17:33
  appealing than ending on a bike.
• 17:36
  The only time you get
• 17:36
  excited about ending on a
• 17:37
  bike is if Tim Paulson goes ham on a bike,
• 17:41
  right?
• 17:41
  Like, um,
• 17:43
  that's the only bike finish I can
• 17:45
  even remember from the games,
• 17:47
  but a yoke finish,
• 17:48
  I think we would remember.
• 17:50
  because it's like fifty and
• 17:52
  forty cows it's still
• 17:52
  significant time on and I
• 17:54
  think that's a not as
• 17:56
  visually appealing to end
• 17:57
  on that then you know they
• 18:00
  they push hard and then
• 18:01
  they go and pick up the
• 18:02
  yoke and then they could
• 18:04
  drop it if their legs are
• 18:05
  tired and I just think that
• 18:07
  would have been a better
• 18:08
  finish but the workout
• 18:09
  seems good um yeah I like
• 18:15
  the workout I just if they
• 18:17
  would have flipped the bike
• 18:18
  in the yoke I think I would
• 18:19
  have loved the workout
• 18:22
  agree cj says I hear jamie
• 18:23
  dabbles well did you see
• 18:25
  the question I didn't no is
• 18:28
  jamie proficient in
• 18:29
  crossfit a little bit for
• 18:36
  people who don't know jamie
• 18:38
  finished fourth last year
• 18:40
  at the crossfit games in
• 18:41
  the forty to forty four
• 18:42
  year old division she won
• 18:44
  the open in the forty to
• 18:45
  forty four year old
• 18:46
  division this year and
• 18:47
  she's going back to podium
• 18:50
  this year at the crossfit games
• 18:54
  We'll see.
• 18:56
  All right.
• 18:58
  So those are the two
• 18:59
  workouts that were named this week.
• 19:05
  I hate that this doesn't
• 19:06
  default back to our, our setting.
• 19:10
  Anyway,
• 19:11
  I know other people complain about
• 19:12
  that too.
• 19:14
  So road to the games was out this week.
• 19:17
  We had Tia versus the world.
• 19:20
  Did you guys get an
• 19:20
  opportunity to watch that?
• 19:22
  I have not finished it, started it.
• 19:25
  Yeah, I watched it.
• 19:27
  It was the longest one.
• 19:30
  Yeah, it was well done.
• 19:31
  I thought it was really well done.
• 19:35
  I didn't expect to have Dave
• 19:36
  talk about Tia and say all
• 19:38
  those things too.
• 19:39
  I mean, everything he said was right,
• 19:41
  but yeah, it was cool.
• 19:43
  It was really well done.
• 19:45
  I thought the best part of
• 19:47
  it is it took you into her
• 19:49
  mindset as to why she can't quit.
• 19:52
  And it takes you into Shane's mindset of,
• 19:55
  I thought she was going to
• 19:55
  quit four other times.
• 19:58
  Like, retire.
• 19:59
  I'm talking retire.
• 20:02
  But it also shows you,
• 20:04
  she knows she's the best.
• 20:06
  And whether she's at full bore or not,
• 20:13
  she's not going to let anybody beat her.
• 20:18
  Like, her mindset is just so strong.
• 20:21
  And I think...
• 20:23
  I've watched so many TIA videos,
• 20:24
  which I find mind-numbing.
• 20:27
  They are so bad.
• 20:29
  This was not that.
• 20:31
  This was like...
• 20:33
  Finally,
• 20:34
  they dug something out of her that
• 20:35
  was new and felt like I was
• 20:38
  learning more about her.
• 20:40
  And what's cool is there's a
• 20:42
  video out now called The
• 20:45
  Legend of Torian Pro that
• 20:47
  kind of follows into that again.
• 20:49
  And it talks a little bit
• 20:51
  more about Tia as well as
• 20:53
  the Torian Pro and why it's
• 20:54
  so popular in Australia.
• 20:56
  If you haven't seen it,
• 20:57
  it's a really good
• 20:58
  representation of why that
• 21:00
  is such a big thing in Australia.
• 21:03
  why it means so much to them,
• 21:05
  why they bring in the dancers,
• 21:07
  what that means to them.
• 21:10
  It's a really, really good video.
• 21:12
  It was put out by Frogrips.
• 21:14
  So if you want, check that out.
• 21:16
  It's really, really good.
• 21:17
  I think your trained Olive
• 21:24
  has nailed it there.
• 21:27
  I think it confirmed that as
• 21:28
  long as she's competing,
• 21:29
  she will not accept
• 21:30
  anything less than first place.
• 21:33
  And in the Torian video,
• 21:37
  Maddie Sturt talks about
• 21:39
  they had to run in single
• 21:40
  file until they got outside the arena.
• 21:42
  And when they did,
• 21:44
  Tia hit a gear that none of
• 21:46
  them could keep up with.
• 21:48
  Like, it was immediate.
• 21:51
  And Maddie goes,
• 21:51
  I was trying everything I
• 21:53
  could to keep up.
• 21:54
  Not possible.
• 21:55
  Yeah,
• 21:55
  sometimes you just got to let them go.
• 22:03
  The audience was epic,
• 22:04
  the Aboriginal dancers.
• 22:07
  Yeah.
• 22:07
  And they talk about why
• 22:08
  they're brought in.
• 22:10
  And then there's another
• 22:12
  dance group and athletes
• 22:13
  dance with them this year.
• 22:14
  I'm sure you saw some of
• 22:15
  that on social media.
• 22:17
  Tia and Guy and Khan learned
• 22:20
  the dance moves and went
• 22:21
  out and danced with them.
• 22:23
  And how much that got the
• 22:24
  crowd into it and what a
• 22:27
  cool experience it was for
• 22:28
  the athletes to be able to do that.
• 22:37
  More people touting Jamie's praises.
• 22:42
  A question for Carolyn.
• 22:44
  What's your goal for the
• 22:44
  games as far as being
• 22:45
  satisfied finish-wise?
• 22:51
  Um, I mean,
• 22:52
  I would just want to do the best I can.
• 22:54
  Um,
• 22:55
  I would like to finish again in the
• 22:56
  teens.
• 22:57
  I haven't done that in the
• 22:58
  last couple of times.
• 22:59
  So to me,
• 23:00
  cracking the top twenties would
• 23:02
  be a good goal realistically.
• 23:03
  If I'm just like, like, I'm not, um,
• 23:08
  know shooting for a win
• 23:09
  against tia here but like
• 23:10
  if I can you know get close
• 23:12
  on certain events would be
• 23:12
  nice um but yeah I think
• 23:14
  that would be I'd be um
• 23:17
  happy with that but again
• 23:18
  you can't control where you
• 23:19
  finish um it's
• 23:22
  Depends on the workouts.
• 23:23
  It depends on the execution, how you feel,
• 23:25
  how you're recovering.
• 23:26
  There's so many factors when you,
• 23:27
  how your mindset is.
• 23:28
  Sometimes momentum plays a
• 23:30
  big factor when you start
• 23:31
  the weekend off and, you know,
• 23:34
  you have a couple of things go right.
• 23:35
  And all of a sudden you're,
• 23:36
  you're in a better head space.
• 23:37
  And that's just such a big thing.
• 23:39
  Like that's,
• 23:40
  that's how I felt going like
• 23:41
  at NorCal was in such a
• 23:42
  good head space there in
• 23:44
  twenty twenty four at the semifinals.
• 23:46
  Like I normally have a
• 23:47
  really good head space when I compete.
• 23:48
  But in twenty twenty four, I was.
• 23:50
  you know, out of it mentally.
• 23:52
  Once I started being away
• 23:54
  from where I was hoping and
• 23:56
  where expectation versus where I was.
• 23:58
  So, um, yeah,
• 24:00
  it's just being realistic and
• 24:03
  just doing the best I can
• 24:04
  and hoping that I can
• 24:05
  execute well on game day to, you know,
• 24:09
  balance out my strengths and weaknesses.
• 24:10
  Cause there's, you know,
• 24:11
  there's some good movements
• 24:12
  in some of these walls and
• 24:13
  then there's also going to
• 24:13
  be bad stuff coming up.
• 24:16
  Uh, George, our banks,
• 24:17
  how are those crossover
• 24:18
  double unders for you?
• 24:20
  I think they're fine.
• 24:21
  I think as long as my hands
• 24:22
  are crisscrossing and not
• 24:23
  staying in the same spot as normal,
• 24:25
  I do better.
• 24:27
  I don't think the workout is
• 24:28
  particularly one on that movement.
• 24:31
  So I think for the most part,
• 24:33
  people will be able to do
• 24:34
  like the sets of twenty.
• 24:36
  So I think it's more about
• 24:40
  think the wall walk speed
• 24:41
  just plays a factor and
• 24:42
  then I think just like your
• 24:44
  transition times um how you
• 24:46
  handle the dumbbell will
• 24:47
  play a big factor there too
• 24:48
  so pressing pressing
• 24:51
  workout shoulders a lot of
• 24:53
  shoulders uh t money says I
• 24:58
  really hope the crowd is
• 24:58
  hype the crowds of twenty
• 25:00
  thirteen and fourteen they
• 25:02
  made the games fun for the
• 25:03
  athletes I would I would I hope so too
• 25:09
  think all the madison years
• 25:10
  were a pretty hype crowd
• 25:12
  yeah um it's the it's with
• 25:17
  everything that happened
• 25:17
  last year and and just the
• 25:20
  the ticket sales slump this
• 25:23
  year but hopefully a lot of
• 25:25
  tickets got sold and
• 25:26
  there'll be a lot of people
• 25:27
  there we'll find out this
• 25:29
  week for sure also no cuts
• 25:34
  this year so all athletes
• 25:35
  will battle for ranking
• 25:36
  until the last event that's great
• 25:39
  which I love because to me,
• 25:41
  when you make cuts,
• 25:42
  like you're saying that
• 25:43
  these last events are worth
• 25:45
  way more than the previous ones that the,
• 25:48
  Table of points changes.
• 25:53
  I find the leaderboard is
• 25:54
  not accurate after.
• 25:56
  Because you finish,
• 25:58
  let's say you finish seventeenth,
• 25:59
  eighteenth,
• 26:00
  but then you miss out on three
• 26:02
  to four events,
• 26:03
  which could have brought
• 26:04
  you back or forward.
• 26:06
  So I want to take the same test.
• 26:09
  And then here are one
• 26:11
  through one through thirty
• 26:12
  where athletes finish.
• 26:14
  One of your competitors is
• 26:15
  trying to get some inside information.
• 26:18
  Lucy Campbell,
• 26:19
  are you looking forward to
• 26:20
  the shoulders on that,
• 26:21
  the handstand walk and the
• 26:22
  handstand pushups?
• 26:24
  Yeah, there's a lot of inversion,
• 26:27
  and I think a lot of the workouts,
• 26:28
  honestly,
• 26:29
  I think the handstand walk speed on the
• 26:33
  The deadlift workout is a big factor.
• 26:36
  The Hanson pushup is a factor there.
• 26:38
  And I do think that the wall
• 26:39
  walk speed gets you like
• 26:40
  can buy you quite a bit of
• 26:41
  time on that workout.
• 26:44
  Yeah.
• 26:44
  If you're proficient upside
• 26:45
  down and you have great pressing strength,
• 26:47
  there's a lot of pressing right now.
• 26:52
  My following,
• 26:52
  I'm looking forward to that
• 26:54
  for the shoulders.
• 26:55
  I wouldn't say that pressing
• 26:56
  is my strength normally.
• 26:59
  My follow-up question to Lucy would be,
• 27:02
  how is all of that
• 27:03
  inversion on your wrist?
• 27:08
  Yeah, that's an issue, too,
• 27:11
  is the wrist and the extension,
• 27:12
  and especially going forward.
• 27:15
  And, like, I've had a similar issue, too,
• 27:16
  in the last week.
• 27:17
  I caught, like,
• 27:17
  a power clean a little bit low,
• 27:18
  so I've been kind of a
• 27:20
  little bit staying away
• 27:22
  from very high-volume handstand walking.
• 27:24
  But that's the one thing that's – yeah,
• 27:26
  it's a lot of – I mean,
• 27:27
  the sport's a lot of wrist –
• 27:29
  But yeah, it's a lot of upside down,
• 27:33
  but I mean,
• 27:33
  we're used to like at least
• 27:35
  two events normally, but to me,
• 27:37
  I think the wall walk and
• 27:38
  the handstand walk,
• 27:39
  like you could have gotten
• 27:40
  rid of like the wall walk
• 27:43
  and put something else there.
• 27:46
  Or you put them in the same workout where,
• 27:48
  you know, certain rounds are wall walks,
• 27:49
  certain rounds are
• 27:50
  handstand walks versus
• 27:52
  having three different inversion.
• 27:53
  But maybe he wanted that for each day.
• 27:55
  Who knows?
• 27:57
  Lucy says, ironically,
• 27:58
  I'll be worst on the handstand pushups.
• 28:00
  Is that because given the wrist?
• 28:03
  Yeah.
• 28:04
  Like if it would have been
• 28:04
  regular handstand pushups,
• 28:05
  would it be better?
• 28:06
  Is it because you're holding
• 28:08
  onto that parallette and it
• 28:09
  forces you into that?
• 28:11
  I mean, you can't move it really.
• 28:12
  It's like when you have a
• 28:14
  barbell and it hurts to have like,
• 28:16
  you know,
• 28:16
  the weight there on your wrist
• 28:17
  and all of a sudden you use
• 28:18
  dumbbells or something
• 28:19
  that's more vertical.
• 28:20
  Right.
• 28:20
  And there's nothing here.
• 28:23
  Like it just feels better in general.
• 28:29
  Yeah.
• 28:30
  I like,
• 28:31
  I will like play with my
• 28:32
  parallettes sometimes.
• 28:33
  So they aren't like
• 28:34
  perfectly against the wall, but like,
• 28:36
  I don't,
• 28:36
  I don't know if you guys even
• 28:37
  have that kind of play there.
• 28:40
  At Rogue,
• 28:41
  they don't let you move the
• 28:42
  parallettes at all,
• 28:43
  which is crazy for some of
• 28:44
  the guys that are, you know,
• 28:45
  six foot three, six foot four.
• 28:48
  That's so narrow.
• 28:50
  I'm not sure what they're
• 28:51
  going to do here if they if
• 28:52
  they're going to allow any
• 28:54
  anything within a box or something.
• 28:56
  But yeah, that's always interesting.
• 28:57
  The standards.
• 28:58
  Yep.
• 29:02
  Honestly,
• 29:03
  we were very tentative on the
• 29:04
  large deficits because of the angle.
• 29:06
  Yeah, it makes a lot of sense.
• 29:11
  All right.
• 29:13
  Top ten lists.
• 29:15
  Let's do it.
• 29:15
  We're ready to do our top ten.
• 29:17
  So the first up on the top
• 29:18
  ten list are the females.
• 29:20
  Okay.
• 29:21
  Carolyn did not participate
• 29:22
  as she is competing.
• 29:27
  I will say, I'm going to say this up front,
• 29:30
  Carolyn is just outside the
• 29:32
  top ten for me.
• 29:34
  I have her in like eleventh, twelfth.
• 29:37
  That's where I have her for this year.
• 29:40
  And it could swing either way depending on,
• 29:42
  like she said,
• 29:43
  how the beginning of the week goes.
• 29:45
  Right.
• 29:46
  But I really,
• 29:47
  really think that she's
• 29:48
  coming into this year strong.
• 29:50
  And so she's just outside of my top ten.
• 29:55
  But here is Jamie and I's
• 29:57
  top ten picks for the women.
• 30:00
  So I'll let Jamie read hers first,
• 30:01
  and then I'll read mine.
• 30:02
  All right.
• 30:03
  You want me to go from the bottom?
• 30:07
  Sure.
• 30:07
  All right.
• 30:08
  B, Segoffi in tenth, then Annika Greer,
• 30:12
  Olivia Kerstetter, Maddie Sturt, sixth,
• 30:15
  Abby Domet, fifth, Alexis Raptus, four,
• 30:18
  Brooke Wells, three, Danielle Brandon,
• 30:20
  two, Ariel Loewen, and one,
• 30:22
  Tia Claire Toomey.
• 30:23
  Can't be beat.
• 30:27
  I have Annika Greer in tenth.
• 30:29
  Danielle Brandon in ninth.
• 30:31
  Fisa Goffey in eighth.
• 30:33
  Haley Adams in seventh.
• 30:35
  Alexis Raptus in sixth.
• 30:37
  Olivia Kerstetter in fifth.
• 30:38
  Lucy Campbell in fourth.
• 30:40
  Abby Domet in third.
• 30:43
  Ariel Low in second.
• 30:44
  Tia Claire Toomey in first.
• 30:47
  So we agree on the top two.
• 30:48
  Yep.
• 30:50
  And we got some mixed up.
• 30:53
  Then it starts getting really mixed up.
• 30:56
  so just some of my thoughts
• 30:59
  and I'll let you jump in
• 31:00
  jamie is I think lucy
• 31:02
  campbell's coming into this
• 31:03
  with a lot of momentum um I
• 31:06
  didn't really think about
• 31:07
  the all the inversion on
• 31:08
  her wrist but I'm confident
• 31:10
  that she it's only going to
• 31:11
  be one bad event and I
• 31:12
  think a lot of people will
• 31:13
  have a bad event um olivia
• 31:18
  kerstetter is really
• 31:20
  improving in the areas that
• 31:22
  she needed to and she's
• 31:23
  going to win some of the strength events
• 31:26
  Uh, Raptors.
• 31:28
  I just,
• 31:28
  I don't have confidence one way or
• 31:30
  another,
• 31:30
  but I think she'll be right in this,
• 31:32
  this area.
• 31:34
  Haley is, we don't know.
• 31:36
  Um, fee is coming in so strong.
• 31:39
  I wanted to move her up,
• 31:40
  but I just didn't know where to, um,
• 31:43
  Danielle Brandon,
• 31:43
  I think in her sleep can
• 31:45
  finish in the top ten in
• 31:46
  this field with her talent.
• 31:48
  I just don't know with
• 31:49
  everything going on where that will be,
• 31:51
  but I think she can do it in her sleep.
• 31:53
  And Annika Greer is going to
• 31:55
  win an event or two.
• 31:58
  Yes.
• 31:58
  And I think with that alone,
• 31:59
  that gets her enough points
• 32:01
  to propel her up in or
• 32:02
  around the top ten.
• 32:04
  Yeah.
• 32:05
  Annika is incredible at
• 32:10
  several gymnastic things, but like
• 32:13
  handstand walk great at she
• 32:15
  people forget for one so
• 32:17
  both of my list men and
• 32:18
  women have obviously are
• 32:21
  picked off of the events we
• 32:22
  know right now more than
• 32:24
  just like picking what I
• 32:25
  would have picked had I not
• 32:26
  known so it's a little bit
• 32:27
  weighed heavily to all the
• 32:30
  inversion shoulder
• 32:32
  handstand walk handstand
• 32:33
  walk speed um but annika's
• 32:35
  great at classic crossfit
• 32:37
  there's a ton of
• 32:39
  I mean, it's going to come down to,
• 32:41
  I feel like,
• 32:41
  movement speed when you get
• 32:43
  into classic CrossFit.
• 32:46
  So your proportions matter.
• 32:48
  So Colton and Annika have a heads up,
• 32:51
  I feel like.
• 32:52
  Same with Fi.
• 32:53
  Originally, Fi was a tough one for me.
• 32:55
  Do I put her in the top ten?
• 32:58
  She is doing incredible, but
• 33:01
  I I think she's also
• 33:03
  excellent at classic
• 33:04
  crossfit um so I just
• 33:08
  there's gonna be workouts
• 33:09
  again like scott said
• 33:11
  annika is probably gonna
• 33:12
  have a couple home runs and
• 33:14
  sure is she gonna have a
• 33:16
  bad event like number one
• 33:18
  yes but so will I like
• 33:21
  everyone is gonna have one
• 33:22
  bad event danielle's fat
• 33:24
  squat probably isn't great
• 33:26
  but we still have her pretty high um
• 33:29
  I don't know that Olivia's
• 33:30
  run will be that great,
• 33:31
  but we both still have her quite high.
• 33:33
  Everyone's going to have
• 33:34
  something not great.
• 33:37
  Here's my answer to
• 33:38
  everybody saying we're
• 33:39
  crazy for having Annika up here.
• 33:41
  Look at Gee.
• 33:44
  Gee won three events at one
• 33:45
  games and finished way low
• 33:47
  in everything else and
• 33:48
  finished like sixth or seventh.
• 33:52
  It doesn't take a lot if you
• 33:53
  get some wins.
• 33:54
  Hundreds of points add up fast.
• 33:58
  And Annika has that same ability.
• 34:01
  When you can get a hundred
• 34:03
  points or even a top five at the games,
• 34:06
  those points go a long way
• 34:09
  because a lot of times like
• 34:10
  it's the same type of like
• 34:12
  same athletes that are
• 34:12
  getting those points.
• 34:14
  And if you're always like
• 34:14
  middle of the pack, you know,
• 34:16
  you're just kind of staying
• 34:17
  within your bubble.
• 34:19
  But if you can go and get those big points,
• 34:22
  like it just makes such a big difference.
• 34:24
  um overall for the weekend
• 34:26
  but yeah annika has a lot
• 34:28
  of very good events that
• 34:29
  she'll have over the
• 34:30
  weekend I agree with that I
• 34:34
  heard athletics thank you
• 34:36
  for the twenty dollars
• 34:37
  carolyn is number one thank
• 34:42
  you so annika is not key really
• 34:51
  better at crossfit than like
• 34:54
  in the box crossfit like
• 34:56
  regional style like there's
• 34:57
  so many things annika is so
• 34:59
  elite at um can do well it
• 35:01
  just depends how her like
• 35:03
  that mental part is going
• 35:04
  to be a big factor it's you
• 35:05
  know it's her rookie year
• 35:07
  um I don't think she's
• 35:08
  going to put a whole bunch
• 35:09
  of pressure on herself but
• 35:12
  where she's going to be
• 35:12
  mentally because now you
• 35:13
  know what you consider your
• 35:15
  strengths and your
• 35:16
  weaknesses all of a sudden
• 35:17
  when you're with the best
• 35:18
  of the best and you don't
• 35:19
  do as well in certain
• 35:20
  things or you do better
• 35:20
  like you're like we talked
• 35:22
  about just it's a momentum
• 35:23
  game too at the games and
• 35:25
  um how you are yeah then
• 35:30
  how is brooke fourth she is
• 35:33
  notorious for handstand
• 35:34
  push-up lockout never
• 35:36
  forget because yeah I i
• 35:40
  Well,
• 35:41
  because he's saying like the capacity
• 35:43
  year.
• 35:44
  The problem is because what
• 35:47
  you and I see and we would
• 35:48
  call it out does not mean
• 35:50
  it is going to get called out the games.
• 35:51
  It never does.
• 35:52
  And that's why these people
• 35:53
  continue to move that way.
• 35:54
  She will move the way she
• 35:55
  always moves and it'll
• 35:56
  slide right through at the games.
• 35:58
  She will get through just fine.
• 36:00
  None of those will be called
• 36:01
  no reps for her.
• 36:04
  She will be fine.
• 36:06
  So I also put out a poll on
• 36:08
  YouTube where I asked,
• 36:11
  who wins the CrossFit Games
• 36:12
  on the female side, Tia or anybody else?
• 36:18
  And I was shocked that there
• 36:20
  were people that said anybody else.
• 36:24
  There was actually,
• 36:24
  fourteen percent said
• 36:26
  anybody else and eighty six
• 36:28
  percent said Tia.
• 36:32
  I wish.
• 36:33
  They could have read it, too,
• 36:34
  as who they want to win.
• 36:36
  Maybe they read it that way.
• 36:39
  One person actually put a
• 36:40
  name to it and said Haley.
• 36:43
  Yeah, you guys don't have... Oh, yeah,
• 36:46
  I guess Scott has Haley.
• 36:47
  Scott does.
• 36:47
  So I had Haley in tenth,
• 36:49
  and that's where I
• 36:50
  struggled between Haley and Fee, but...
• 36:54
  I have yet to see... I think
• 36:56
  actually Hillard talked about this.
• 36:58
  One of them talked about this,
• 36:59
  that we haven't seen
• 37:01
  Hailey's fitness come back
• 37:03
  quite to where... I mean,
• 37:06
  there were things I thought
• 37:07
  she would do better at at Mayhem Classic,
• 37:08
  and I understand there's
• 37:10
  been some time since Mayhem Classic.
• 37:12
  So she may completely surprise me,
• 37:15
  but I've been waiting to
• 37:17
  see her fitness shine again,
• 37:19
  and I haven't seen it yet.
• 37:20
  So...
• 37:21
  don't I don't know if the
• 37:22
  field has sort of surpassed
• 37:24
  her fee looks freaking good
• 37:30
  scott not putting brooke in
• 37:31
  the top ten is diabolical
• 37:34
  here's my thinking she
• 37:36
  started off on fire at
• 37:38
  syndicate crown and after
• 37:41
  the first day she started to fall off
• 37:46
  She came in to prove a point.
• 37:48
  And by the end of the weekend,
• 37:50
  she was getting lower
• 37:51
  finishes and lower finishes.
• 37:54
  And I just don't think she
• 37:55
  has the capacity to sustain
• 37:58
  her fitness throughout the
• 38:00
  weekend of a nine or ten
• 38:02
  event competition.
• 38:07
  That's why I took her out of the top ten.
• 38:17
  I mean,
• 38:17
  just like everyone in here is
• 38:18
  commenting Haley is a top
• 38:20
  five athlete all the time,
• 38:22
  so we should have her up there.
• 38:23
  So is Danielle Brandon.
• 38:24
  Like, barring a cut, stepping on a line,
• 38:28
  which isn't happening this year, Danielle,
• 38:31
  she's just good at crossing.
• 38:33
  I wouldn't compare Haley's
• 38:35
  games matches to Danielle.
• 38:37
  I think Haley has been
• 38:38
  better and more consistent
• 38:41
  over so many years.
• 38:41
  Like, she's always, like,
• 38:43
  fifth, fourth, sixth,
• 38:45
  except for one year in twenty twenty two,
• 38:47
  which I don't where I think
• 38:49
  she finished like maybe
• 38:51
  ninth or something.
• 38:52
  But I just feel that Haley
• 38:56
  is going to do what she
• 38:57
  needs to do to get ready for the games.
• 38:58
  I don't know what she looks like right now,
• 38:59
  but I know she's fit and
• 39:02
  she's always she's always
• 39:04
  good at the games.
• 39:04
  You can never count her out.
• 39:09
  um it's not about benefit
• 39:12
  now ever in seventh I I
• 39:15
  just I just don't know like we don't know
• 39:18
  And then you have this new
• 39:20
  budding romance that's going on.
• 39:22
  And what, what effect does that have?
• 39:24
  And I know that we're not
• 39:25
  supposed to think about
• 39:27
  that personal lives and whatever,
• 39:28
  but it does have an effect.
• 39:30
  It may have a very good
• 39:31
  effect that she's training
• 39:33
  more because she's training with Austin.
• 39:36
  It could mean she's not
• 39:38
  focused as much because she's training.
• 39:40
  Who knows?
• 39:41
  We're not going to know
• 39:42
  until she gets out there
• 39:43
  and takes the floor.
• 39:47
  Yeah.
• 39:47
  I mean, that, that almost made me put,
• 39:49
  put her higher.
• 39:52
  You know, there was things like,
• 39:54
  the thing is like Olivia is
• 39:56
  excellent on her hands too.
• 39:59
  So like, cause Olivia was the one I,
• 40:01
  like I said,
• 40:01
  I had Haley and feed switch there.
• 40:04
  And then I put Olivia up
• 40:05
  there because I think
• 40:06
  Olivia is going to crush the strength.
• 40:08
  I think she's better than
• 40:09
  people think with her shoulder endurance.
• 40:12
  So I don't know, like,
• 40:15
  think there's a lot of good
• 40:16
  gymnasts in this field like
• 40:18
  a lot of good gymnasts
• 40:19
  cardio people in this field
• 40:20
  and less strength
• 40:22
  specialists like when I
• 40:23
  look at the female side of
• 40:25
  things I think a lot of the
• 40:26
  workouts that we think
• 40:27
  people are going to be good
• 40:28
  inverted like there's going
• 40:29
  to be some surprises
• 40:31
  because there are some
• 40:32
  elite like gymnastics
• 40:35
  people in the field absolutely
• 40:43
  I was really torn to not put
• 40:45
  Saria Meha on the list.
• 40:47
  I mean, if you come out and you win,
• 40:50
  if you win the online semifinal,
• 40:54
  which that's partly why I
• 40:56
  have Anika so high.
• 40:57
  She got fourth behind Ariel and Alexis.
• 41:01
  I think that's a pretty good
• 41:03
  subset of in-the-box
• 41:05
  CrossFit right there.
• 41:08
  So I struggle to not put her on.
• 41:09
  I just do not know enough about her.
• 41:15
  Yeah, I just, um,
• 41:17
  I want to hear Larry say this in person.
• 41:21
  She's going to show out for her boo.
• 41:22
  I believe it.
• 41:23
  I love it.
• 41:28
  Um, we ready to move on to the men.
• 41:32
  Now we have three charts for the men.
• 41:35
  Let's go.
• 41:39
  Here we go.
• 41:39
  Carolyn, go ahead.
• 41:40
  Read yours first.
• 41:43
  This is as long as everyone's healthy.
• 41:47
  Jeff Adler, Dallin Pepper, Jason Hopper.
• 41:50
  In fourth, Austin Hatfield.
• 41:52
  Fifth, Justin Medeiros.
• 41:54
  Sixth, James Sprague.
• 41:56
  Seventh, Roman Krennikov.
• 41:59
  Eighth, Ricky Garrard.
• 42:00
  Ninth, Jay Crouch.
• 42:01
  And tenth, Colton Mertens.
• 42:02
  That's what I have.
• 42:04
  Jamie?
• 42:06
  All right.
• 42:07
  I have Jeff Adler in first,
• 42:09
  Austin Hatfield in second,
• 42:11
  Jason Hopper in third.
• 42:12
  Then Dallin, Colton, James, Justin, Jay,
• 42:17
  Roman, Ricky.
• 42:21
  I'll do mine.
• 42:22
  Countdown style, Colton Mertens, tenth.
• 42:24
  Roman Kronikoff, ninth.
• 42:26
  Justin Medeiros, eighth.
• 42:27
  Ricky Gerrard, seventh.
• 42:28
  Jay Crouch, sixth.
• 42:30
  Austin Hatfield, five.
• 42:32
  Jason Hopper, four.
• 42:33
  James Sprague, three.
• 42:34
  Dallin Pepper, two.
• 42:35
  Jeff Adler, one.
• 42:39
  this was the hardest ranking
• 42:41
  I think I've ever done in
• 42:42
  all my time of doing a
• 42:43
  podcast it was very hard do
• 42:48
  we have the exact ten
• 42:51
  athletes just in different
• 42:52
  orders like I'm trying to
• 42:53
  see if there's any
• 42:54
  different names in there
• 42:58
  I do think we have the exact same ten.
• 43:01
  Just different order, yeah.
• 43:03
  Which is crazy.
• 43:06
  Yeah, this men's field is stacked.
• 43:08
  And again,
• 43:09
  depending on execution and just
• 43:11
  different things going your
• 43:12
  way on the weekend,
• 43:13
  that order can change so much.
• 43:15
  just health like we don't
• 43:16
  know everyone's health
• 43:18
  going into the games there
• 43:18
  could be some nagging
• 43:19
  injuries I know jeff in his
• 43:21
  road to the games talked
• 43:22
  about that he hasn't been
• 43:24
  doing certain lifts or
• 43:25
  maybe it hasn't been as
• 43:26
  strong right now so again
• 43:28
  we don't know everyone that
• 43:30
  everyone is going in a
• 43:31
  hundred percent on every
• 43:33
  single thing um to me on paper
• 43:38
  Jeff is the fittest if he is
• 43:40
  healthy and performs the
• 43:43
  way that I feel he should or can, um,
• 43:47
  over ten events or eleven events,
• 43:48
  whatever it'll be.
• 43:51
  Yeah, Colton was my questionable ranking.
• 43:57
  If he's healthy, once again, like an Anika,
• 44:00
  like classic cross,
• 44:02
  his range of motion just
• 44:04
  makes him win things.
• 44:06
  Um,
• 44:08
  And he's when you don't have
• 44:11
  a lot along with his
• 44:11
  fitness makes him win things.
• 44:13
  Well, yeah,
• 44:14
  the dude is incredibly fit and
• 44:15
  he's improved so much on
• 44:17
  his running that he's like
• 44:18
  not even going to take that
• 44:19
  same hit that Anika is going to.
• 44:24
  So I just I feel like if he
• 44:26
  comes in healthy,
• 44:26
  if he can squat what we
• 44:27
  think he can squat.
• 44:29
  he's gonna do very well.
• 44:30
  Yeah,
• 44:31
  that's the thing is we don't know
• 44:32
  where he is at after NorCal
• 44:34
  and his back issue that he
• 44:35
  had felt like a small pulp
• 44:38
  or whatever it was.
• 44:39
  So if he's healthy,
• 44:41
  we know he's gonna have
• 44:42
  some home runs on some of these events.
• 44:44
  And he could certainly be
• 44:47
  higher than this if he's
• 44:50
  able to get a few in his wheelhouse,
• 44:51
  that's for sure.
• 44:52
  So Kenneth the Lab, Colton Wins,
• 44:57
  you all are crazy.
• 44:59
  CJ, not a chance, KDL.
• 45:01
  And I'm with CJ.
• 45:03
  The highest finish Colton
• 45:05
  has ever had is nineteenth.
• 45:08
  What is going to happen all
• 45:09
  of a sudden that jumps him
• 45:11
  eighteen spots to number one?
• 45:14
  Oh,
• 45:15
  I think he's the fittest he's ever been.
• 45:17
  He may be the fittest he's ever been,
• 45:19
  but his problem has always
• 45:21
  been sustaining over the weekend,
• 45:25
  and that is all the events,
• 45:27
  because he does have to
• 45:28
  exert more effort to
• 45:30
  overcome his stature in some events,
• 45:33
  and he has to pay that
• 45:35
  penalty throughout a longer weekend.
• 45:38
  He is better on a short
• 45:40
  weekend than a long weekend,
• 45:42
  and that is the problem with the winning.
• 45:45
  If you would have said he podiums,
• 45:47
  I'd say he has a shot.
• 45:49
  But winning, my God,
• 45:51
  it would take something
• 45:52
  miraculous to happen.
• 45:54
  And I love Colton.
• 45:55
  Colton is my friend.
• 45:57
  I love him to death.
• 45:58
  But my God,
• 46:00
  that's a massive jump from ninth to that.
• 46:06
  I love that you have Dillon in second.
• 46:10
  Me?
• 46:12
  Scott does.
• 46:12
  Oh, yeah, you both do.
• 46:13
  You both have Dallin.
• 46:15
  Look at you two.
• 46:15
  That's cute.
• 46:18
  Yeah, I think Dallin's looking good.
• 46:21
  He's fit.
• 46:22
  I think some of these events
• 46:24
  are great for Jason right now, though.
• 46:25
  Yeah, I see him executing well.
• 46:29
  I think he's not going to
• 46:32
  have a bad event in anything.
• 46:33
  He's just very well-rounded.
• 46:36
  He's a great crossfitter in terms of
• 46:39
  different things that can
• 46:41
  get thrown at him.
• 46:47
  Yeah,
• 46:47
  I think Dallin's going to have a
• 46:49
  great weekend.
• 46:49
  Here's my thing with why I
• 46:51
  have Dallin and James ahead of Jason.
• 46:56
  Dallin and James have been there before,
• 46:58
  whether it be the team games,
• 47:00
  whether it be the games.
• 47:02
  They both have been in that
• 47:03
  crucial moment where they
• 47:05
  have to perform at the very end to win.
• 47:09
  And we haven't seen that from Jason yet.
• 47:10
  I mean, he got on the podium at Rogue.
• 47:15
  He got at the podium at WFP, Hopper,
• 47:19
  that is.
• 47:20
  So I just think that he is
• 47:22
  building some momentum and
• 47:23
  some confidence.
• 47:24
  He's seen Dallin train,
• 47:27
  and he's going toe-to-toe
• 47:28
  with him sometimes.
• 47:31
  I think he can do it.
• 47:32
  I think he can get onto the
• 47:33
  podium this year.
• 47:34
  I think he was just shy last year.
• 47:35
  What did he finish last year, fourth?
• 47:38
  And he's been on the podium
• 47:39
  on some of the major events
• 47:41
  that he's done ever since.
• 47:42
  So I think it's looking good.
• 47:44
  Like that echo bike workout
• 47:46
  with the handstand pushups,
• 47:47
  I'd be surprised if anyone
• 47:48
  beats him on that one.
• 47:52
  He should be good at
• 47:53
  basically everything that's been.
• 47:55
  I like the workouts released
• 47:56
  so far for him, for sure.
• 47:59
  Craig asks,
• 48:00
  does James have a chance at
• 48:01
  repeating this games?
• 48:02
  Yes, absolutely.
• 48:03
  Absolutely.
• 48:07
  Everybody in my top seven
• 48:08
  has a chance to repeat.
• 48:11
  Or not to repeat, but to win the games.
• 48:14
  Maybe even top eight.
• 48:15
  Maybe nine.
• 48:17
  Nine.
• 48:18
  My top nine have a chance to
• 48:19
  win the games.
• 48:20
  I'd say top eight.
• 48:30
  I think if Roman's healthy, he could win.
• 48:32
  We just haven't seen a healthy Roman.
• 48:36
  healthy roman healthy ricky
• 48:40
  some of these events look
• 48:41
  really good for justin
• 48:42
  though right now like
• 48:43
  really good and I think
• 48:45
  this is the fittest we've
• 48:45
  seen justin in three years
• 48:48
  absolutely and like if you
• 48:50
  talk about three inverted
• 48:51
  events do you see some of
• 48:54
  the stuff he did against I
• 48:55
  know all those handstand
• 48:57
  stuff that he did against
• 48:57
  james like that was so impressive yeah
• 49:00
  Um, like he's so good on his hands.
• 49:02
  His overhead mobility is great.
• 49:04
  He's able to run again after
• 49:06
  so many years of just having pain, um,
• 49:09
  with his running.
• 49:09
  I think he's slowly starting
• 49:11
  to figure that out.
• 49:12
  If someone knows how to back squat,
• 49:14
  the power lifting way, you know,
• 49:16
  James or Justin has been
• 49:18
  working so much with Jesse
• 49:20
  and his crew on power lifting.
• 49:23
  Um, he's a great squatter.
• 49:24
  Like these,
• 49:24
  these are really good events
• 49:26
  for Justin right now.
• 49:27
  Yeah.
• 49:30
  So I would not be shocked if
• 49:32
  any of the top nine win.
• 49:35
  And I wouldn't be shocked if
• 49:36
  we see somebody outside the
• 49:38
  top ten jump in there.
• 49:39
  Into the top ten?
• 49:41
  I saw Bill Leahy mentioned earlier.
• 49:43
  Sure.
• 49:44
  He could have a good weekend.
• 49:44
  Tudor Magda.
• 49:45
  Tudor.
• 49:47
  If he could get his mind
• 49:48
  right for one weekend,
• 49:50
  he could be up there.
• 49:51
  I have Tudor as my honorable
• 49:52
  mentions because these
• 49:53
  workouts were released so far.
• 49:56
  Tudor's quick on his hands.
• 49:57
  That one's going to be good.
• 49:58
  Yeah.
• 49:59
  I guess I don't know what
• 50:00
  his like capacity on a like
• 50:02
  deep deficit handstand pushup.
• 50:05
  But yeah, I think, I mean,
• 50:08
  I think his squat's going
• 50:09
  to be pretty darn good.
• 50:13
  Do you think that proven
• 50:14
  group has a headstart as
• 50:15
  they've been training with Tia?
• 50:17
  That has never been a
• 50:18
  favorable thing in the past.
• 50:21
  Does it mean it's not going
• 50:22
  to be this year?
• 50:23
  I don't know.
• 50:25
  I would hate personally to
• 50:27
  have a training camp the
• 50:28
  way that like they've had
• 50:29
  for like a few weeks where
• 50:31
  everyone is there.
• 50:32
  Like, I feel like that would just as,
• 50:34
  as good as that is to compete,
• 50:36
  like the way that they're
• 50:37
  having to compete against
• 50:38
  each other all the time.
• 50:39
  And he's like,
• 50:39
  I personally wouldn't like that.
• 50:40
  I don't think going into.
• 50:42
  the main event like I would
• 50:43
  go to one weekend one
• 50:45
  training camp and I did
• 50:45
  okay I got what I needed I
• 50:47
  don't need to go against
• 50:48
  everyone every single time
• 50:50
  um I don't know like I
• 50:53
  don't know how how how it
• 50:54
  is for like all those other
• 50:56
  athletes mentally to do
• 50:57
  workouts against tia every
• 50:59
  single day like multiple
• 51:01
  pieces and like yeah it's
• 51:05
  great to compare but um
• 51:08
  I like that I'm not part of
• 51:09
  the training camp prior to
• 51:11
  the games for that kind of stuff.
• 51:13
  Wouldn't be for me.
• 51:15
  But I think it's cool that
• 51:17
  they're getting all that
• 51:18
  coaching and stuff.
• 51:22
  And they have so many
• 51:22
  athletes going to the games.
• 51:25
  Very successful year for that group.
• 51:34
  I honestly think Tia just
• 51:35
  beats everybody down and
• 51:36
  Proven shows up busted.
• 51:38
  Yeah, that would be my worry a little bit.
• 51:40
  That's been kind of the
• 51:41
  thing that's happened in the past.
• 51:43
  Doesn't mean it'll happen this year.
• 51:45
  Maybe they've learned from that.
• 51:46
  Maybe, I don't know.
• 51:50
  But they, yeah,
• 51:52
  Carolyn makes excellent points.
• 51:57
  Yeah, well, Raph says it.
• 51:59
  If you're at a training camp,
• 52:01
  you need to know the
• 52:01
  difference between training
• 52:02
  and competing.
• 52:03
  I mean, you literally probably can't.
• 52:07
  be competing against tia
• 52:09
  daily that's that's a
• 52:10
  recipe for disaster but
• 52:12
  they're like doing matchups
• 52:13
  and heats and all that and
• 52:15
  I don't know I wouldn't
• 52:16
  like that not not for that
• 52:18
  long anyways for like a
• 52:19
  quick weekend to get a
• 52:20
  little tune up maybe a
• 52:21
  month a bit a month before
• 52:23
  the games I'd like that but
• 52:25
  like for a few weeks prior
• 52:27
  to the games I think that'd
• 52:29
  get hard to do yeah yeah
• 52:36
  But the people at Proven are smart.
• 52:38
  So they've probably learned.
• 52:42
  They're not going to show us
• 52:42
  everything that's going on there.
• 52:44
  We only get the highlight reel.
• 52:47
  And they might have information too.
• 52:48
  Yeah.
• 52:48
  Sorry.
• 52:53
  what are you saying carolyn
• 52:55
  no I'm just saying like
• 52:56
  it's there's an advantage
• 52:57
  of being part of a training
• 52:58
  camp let's be honest yep
• 52:59
  like every year there's an
• 53:02
  advantage being part of a
• 53:03
  training camp so who knows
• 53:05
  they can not be showing us
• 53:06
  certain stuff people were
• 53:09
  doing the right versions of
• 53:10
  chad last year at other
• 53:11
  training camps and um who
• 53:15
  knows but there's some
• 53:18
  advantages to being with
• 53:19
  training camps and I think
• 53:20
  there's also some disadvantages so if
• 53:24
  is that so I'm going to pull
• 53:25
  down our picks and I'm
• 53:26
  going to pull up the men's
• 53:27
  poll as I was able to put a
• 53:29
  few more names into that
• 53:31
  one um if it'll let me
• 53:33
  remove it there we go and
• 53:35
  if I share my screen
• 53:40
  carolyn do you think there
• 53:41
  will be double unders in
• 53:42
  another workout just
• 53:43
  regular double unders or do you think
• 53:45
  I don't think so with the
• 53:47
  amount of running that we have so far.
• 53:50
  And then there's machine,
• 53:51
  there's two machines that
• 53:52
  we've seen so far, right?
• 53:53
  The row echo bike,
• 53:56
  like we could maybe see another ski.
• 54:01
  Um, I don't know.
• 54:03
  I don't think they should
• 54:04
  have double unders in there.
• 54:05
  Yeah.
• 54:06
  I think,
• 54:06
  I think because you're at the games,
• 54:08
  there's so many other
• 54:09
  things that you can do for
• 54:10
  monostructural work that you don't need,
• 54:13
  um, two skipping ropes there.
• 54:19
  Um,
• 54:19
  so I put out a poll who wins a CrossFit
• 54:22
  games for men.
• 54:24
  And this is what came back.
• 54:26
  I put the three former champs.
• 54:32
  Yeah.
• 54:33
  Jeff, James, Justin and other.
• 54:37
  And I don't know what that says.
• 54:48
  Oh, add name to comments.
• 54:49
  I see.
• 54:50
  And so we did get sixteen comments.
• 54:55
  Colton Mertens, Roman, Colton Mertens,
• 54:58
  Dallin Pepper, Dallin Pepper.
• 55:00
  Jeff is a safe bet with
• 55:02
  until more events are released.
• 55:04
  Roman, Austin, Dallin, Adler,
• 55:10
  but don't sleep on Colton.
• 55:12
  Hopper and Hatfield are
• 55:13
  fighting for the top spot.
• 55:15
  And then someone asked,
• 55:16
  why is Adler the favorite?
• 55:18
  He only won after Roman got hurt.
• 55:20
  Hate that story.
• 55:21
  Wow.
• 55:23
  Dallin Pepper, Dallin.
• 55:25
  So lots of votes for Dallin.
• 55:27
  A couple for Colton.
• 55:29
  More for Roman than I would have expected.
• 55:30
  Honestly.
• 55:34
  Yeah.
• 55:36
  So those are the votes from our audience.
• 55:43
  Any thoughts about that?
• 55:44
  You're surprised about Roman.
• 55:46
  Yeah,
• 55:46
  I am kind of surprised there was that
• 55:47
  many votes for Roman.
• 55:50
  To win it?
• 55:52
  I don't know.
• 55:56
  Yeah, like nobody commented Ricky?
• 56:00
  Nope, no Rickys.
• 56:01
  That many Romans and zero Rickys.
• 56:03
  That does sort of surprise me.
• 56:08
  CJ says,
• 56:09
  I enjoy and respect proven to be clear,
• 56:11
  but bringing on athletes
• 56:12
  already at games level is
• 56:13
  much different than
• 56:14
  bringing someone up from nothing.
• 56:16
  Everybody has their own business model.
• 56:18
  I will say that.
• 56:22
  Do they have the most athletes that have,
• 56:24
  they have to have the most
• 56:25
  individual athletes that have qualified?
• 56:28
  Yeah.
• 56:30
  Mayhem is Haley, Roman, Jorge, Austin,
• 56:37
  Austin.
• 56:37
  Trying to think.
• 56:44
  Well,
• 56:45
  What does that say about them?
• 56:47
  Like see,
• 56:50
  so every day is an opportunity says CJ,
• 56:53
  they tried to bring those
• 56:54
  type of athletes and they didn't last.
• 56:56
  I mean,
• 56:58
  does that mean they're riding them
• 57:00
  too hard?
• 57:01
  Like pushing them way too hard,
• 57:02
  way too soon.
• 57:07
  Why can't they last?
• 57:08
  Why can't they,
• 57:08
  why can't they bring somebody up?
• 57:13
  Proven you mean?
• 57:14
  Yeah.
• 57:16
  I think they're going to try with, I mean,
• 57:17
  Lucy's already been, Lucy McGonigal,
• 57:20
  I'm talking about Lucy Campbell,
• 57:21
  but she was already like a games athlete,
• 57:24
  like teen.
• 57:26
  But I think they're going to
• 57:27
  try to like mold her into the,
• 57:28
  maybe the next.
• 57:32
  Every day is an opportunity,
• 57:33
  says Ricky is washed.
• 57:35
  I'm sorry.
• 57:36
  He won Torian.
• 57:38
  That was a pretty good field
• 57:40
  to win against.
• 57:42
  Yeah.
• 57:42
  Yeah.
• 57:43
  And we all have Jay, like,
• 57:45
  so he beat Jay head to head, right?
• 57:48
  Yep.
• 57:49
  But we,
• 57:50
  I think we all have Jay ahead of
• 57:51
  him here.
• 57:53
  I don't know where they were
• 57:54
  finishes-wise.
• 57:54
  Actually,
• 57:55
  I think I remember Ricky being very,
• 57:57
  very consistent there.
• 57:58
  Because I was going to say,
• 57:59
  because sometimes when it's
• 58:00
  very top-heavy, if you have one bad event,
• 58:03
  there's no recovering.
• 58:05
  It's harder almost sometimes
• 58:06
  with a top-heavy field and
• 58:08
  no depth where you're just
• 58:09
  kind of interchanging top threes.
• 58:11
  But I think Ricky was very
• 58:13
  consistent there and looked good.
• 58:15
  Yeah.
• 58:16
  Votes for potential rookies of the year,
• 58:19
  male and female side.
• 58:23
  Well, I've got Anika in my top ten.
• 58:25
  That would be the highest placed.
• 58:27
  And they only do one,
• 58:29
  so I would say Anika for
• 58:31
  Rookie of the Year.
• 58:33
  They've done two on a couple occasions.
• 58:36
  Never when Dave has done the programming.
• 58:38
  I don't remember.
• 58:45
  And last year,
• 58:46
  we didn't have an awards ceremony,
• 58:47
  so nobody... If they won those,
• 58:49
  it was in private,
• 58:50
  and we don't know who won.
• 58:52
  Um...
• 58:54
  But it was only in the Bosch
• 58:56
  year where they gave away
• 58:57
  two rookies of the year.
• 59:01
  Yeah, I totally agree with Annika.
• 59:04
  But on the men's side,
• 59:05
  I would probably give it to Bill Leahy.
• 59:06
  I think he'll be up there.
• 59:09
  Yep.
• 59:14
  I think he has the potential
• 59:15
  to be the most consistent through this.
• 59:17
  Ty will be good too.
• 59:20
  Ty is a good pick.
• 59:24
  Yeah,
• 59:24
  I will be curious between the two of
• 59:26
  them who finishes higher.
• 59:32
  Ty could finish top ten, too,
• 59:34
  and I probably wouldn't
• 59:35
  even blink an eye.
• 59:37
  Yeah, I totally agree.
• 59:43
  It's hard to pick these
• 59:44
  things when I don't have
• 59:45
  the roster in front of me.
• 59:46
  Yeah.
• 59:47
  Well, we need to know all the events, too.
• 59:50
  True.
• 59:51
  There's a lot more stuff
• 59:52
  that could come out.
• 59:54
  change some of our back on
• 59:56
  ricky is a wash uh ricky
• 59:58
  won four of six events at
• 59:59
  taurian yeah that's very
• 1:00:02
  impressive that was good
• 1:00:03
  programming too like yeah
• 1:00:05
  that was that's my favorite
• 1:00:07
  of the semi-finals
• 1:00:08
  programming was that one thank you cj
• 1:00:18
  Uh, we should do a poll.
• 1:00:20
  If you were a semifinals athlete,
• 1:00:21
  never been to the games,
• 1:00:22
  what camp would you choose?
• 1:00:24
  Assuming you want to camp.
• 1:00:26
  I wish I knew how to do a poll.
• 1:00:27
  I need to figure that out.
• 1:00:28
  I really do.
• 1:00:30
  Um,
• 1:00:32
  your channel again this week and we can
• 1:00:33
  bring it up on next week's show.
• 1:00:34
  Like you.
• 1:00:35
  Oh yeah.
• 1:00:36
  I'll put, okay.
• 1:00:36
  I'll put it on the poll for this week.
• 1:00:37
  Yeah.
• 1:00:39
  I don't, I, I'm kind of,
• 1:00:42
  I want to go the Carolyn way.
• 1:00:44
  I don't think camps are the
• 1:00:45
  right answer anymore.
• 1:00:48
  I think they're good to kind
• 1:00:49
  of – you go there for like
• 1:00:51
  a quick weekend or get some eyes on you,
• 1:00:55
  battle it out for a little bit,
• 1:00:57
  and then you go back and
• 1:00:58
  you train with your community.
• 1:01:00
  I'm going to figure out this pole thing.
• 1:01:02
  That's going to be my task.
• 1:01:06
  I know you can do them live.
• 1:01:07
  I know.
• 1:01:08
  I just don't know how.
• 1:01:10
  I'm going to see Caleb this weekend.
• 1:01:11
  Maybe I'll ask him.
• 1:01:12
  Yeah.
• 1:01:13
  And then –
• 1:01:15
  And in the meantime,
• 1:01:16
  I'll put it out on YouTube tonight.
• 1:01:18
  We'll have it for one of our
• 1:01:20
  games discussions.
• 1:01:20
  Jamie and I are going to try to go live.
• 1:01:22
  She doesn't know this.
• 1:01:24
  Most of the nights of the games.
• 1:01:25
  Okay.
• 1:01:26
  If she's available,
• 1:01:28
  Carolyn will hop on if
• 1:01:29
  she's not in bed already.
• 1:01:32
  And we're going to try to do
• 1:01:33
  that throughout the games weekend.
• 1:01:38
  But I do want to talk about that topic.
• 1:01:42
  I still really want to try to get there.
• 1:01:43
  I just,
• 1:01:44
  I don't know that I can come before
• 1:01:45
  Saturday.
• 1:01:45
  I think I have a closing on Friday.
• 1:01:48
  I should know tomorrow if
• 1:01:50
  it's going to be Friday,
• 1:01:52
  because that would be what
• 1:01:53
  would limit me.
• 1:01:54
  So I wouldn't even be able
• 1:01:54
  to leave till probably butt
• 1:01:58
  crack of dawn on Saturday
• 1:02:00
  morning or late Friday night.
• 1:02:03
  I have a pull out couch.
• 1:02:04
  All right.
• 1:02:10
  What else do we got going on?
• 1:02:11
  All right.
• 1:02:14
  I've been talking about it all week.
• 1:02:15
  I really love the
• 1:02:16
  partnerships that the games
• 1:02:17
  are doing this year at the games.
• 1:02:19
  I think the heat one app is
• 1:02:20
  probably the most
• 1:02:21
  significant partnership
• 1:02:23
  because it does give people
• 1:02:24
  the ability to participate.
• 1:02:27
  place a wager.
• 1:02:28
  I know it's not really money,
• 1:02:30
  but on who's going to win.
• 1:02:32
  And whenever you have a vested interest,
• 1:02:34
  you're going to watch the
• 1:02:35
  event and that brings viewership.
• 1:02:38
  So that's a great partner.
• 1:02:41
  I think the zone is a great partner.
• 1:02:43
  And that is, um,
• 1:02:47
  that it's small and they
• 1:02:50
  need to grow just as much
• 1:02:51
  as CrossFit needs to grow.
• 1:02:52
  So it's a partnership where
• 1:02:53
  you promote each other.
• 1:02:55
  And I think that's way
• 1:02:56
  better than having some
• 1:02:57
  behemoth that doesn't
• 1:02:59
  really care if you're there or not.
• 1:03:02
  Ruck Race League is Saturday morning.
• 1:03:05
  They're going to do a big
• 1:03:05
  community ruck race.
• 1:03:07
  Arm Wrestling with Travis Bajent.
• 1:03:10
  I think that's awesome,
• 1:03:11
  and they're going to give
• 1:03:12
  away prizes when you arm wrestle.
• 1:03:16
  Mayhem Spectator Workouts on Saturday.
• 1:03:21
  Look at this.
• 1:03:22
  We have a volunteer.
• 1:03:24
  We'd love to hop on in the lives with you,
• 1:03:26
  Scott.
• 1:03:26
  If you need some backup,
• 1:03:28
  I'll be out there all weekend.
• 1:03:29
  Oh, that'd be awesome.
• 1:03:30
  Allison.
• 1:03:31
  I will reach out to you.
• 1:03:32
  I still have your phone number.
• 1:03:33
  I think so.
• 1:03:34
  Um, yeah, we'll talk for sure.
• 1:03:40
  Yeah.
• 1:03:41
  She can have a team coverage.
• 1:03:43
  I'm sure she'll be watching Raf's team.
• 1:03:47
  Did you put lunchtime shows
• 1:03:48
  on hold until after the games?
• 1:03:49
  I did not.
• 1:03:51
  We're going to be back tomorrow.
• 1:03:54
  Now they may go on hold during the games,
• 1:03:57
  but I'm going to still do
• 1:03:58
  them up into the games.
• 1:04:01
  You leave Thursday.
• 1:04:03
  I leave.
• 1:04:03
  I think I'm leaving Tuesday night.
• 1:04:05
  Oh, geez.
• 1:04:08
  You're trying to... Is there
• 1:04:09
  something... I'm trying to
• 1:04:09
  start capturing Hattie Wednesday.
• 1:04:13
  Is her check-in on Wednesday?
• 1:04:15
  It's on Tuesday.
• 1:04:16
  Yeah, check-ins are on Tuesday.
• 1:04:17
  She's capturing her check-in for me.
• 1:04:20
  Okay.
• 1:04:20
  I'm going to try to get to gyms with her,
• 1:04:22
  do some stuff, some dinners,
• 1:04:24
  different things like that.
• 1:04:28
  Uh...
• 1:04:32
  There is a chance Tyson
• 1:04:33
  Bajent will be here.
• 1:04:34
  We actually have a question
• 1:04:35
  coming up on that.
• 1:04:38
  He was awesome this morning
• 1:04:40
  on the Savant podcast.
• 1:04:42
  I was giddy listening to him
• 1:04:44
  talk about the Bears and
• 1:04:46
  where they're at this year.
• 1:04:47
  Barry said something here.
• 1:04:49
  My IG post got a ton of comments.
• 1:04:51
  It did.
• 1:04:53
  Because people just don't understand.
• 1:04:54
  People don't listen.
• 1:04:56
  And they think they hear what I say.
• 1:04:58
  What was your post?
• 1:04:59
  What did I miss?
• 1:05:01
  I said that the world
• 1:05:02
  fitness project is not done
• 1:05:03
  very much promotion.
• 1:05:06
  Yeah.
• 1:05:06
  Yeah.
• 1:05:07
  About any other aspect about
• 1:05:08
  the WFP other than their promotion.
• 1:05:11
  I know people hear what they
• 1:05:12
  want to hear and they want to argue.
• 1:05:15
  And it is just about their promotion.
• 1:05:18
  I know it was clear to me.
• 1:05:21
  And I showed numbers.
• 1:05:22
  Why one is different than the other.
• 1:05:25
  That's it.
• 1:05:26
  That's okay.
• 1:05:30
  okay let's go to factor
• 1:05:32
  fiction and we we've upped
• 1:05:34
  our game this week where I
• 1:05:36
  can actually show the
• 1:05:37
  questions on the screen so
• 1:05:40
  this goes out to my two
• 1:05:42
  co-hosts and I pipe in at
• 1:05:43
  the end factor fiction a
• 1:05:47
  pure crossfit program games
• 1:05:48
  is what both crossfit and
• 1:05:50
  the community need to get a
• 1:05:51
  full reset and move forward
• 1:05:59
  I'm really torn on this.
• 1:06:01
  I'm going to say fiction.
• 1:06:04
  I just think there's
• 1:06:06
  something special about the
• 1:06:07
  games when there's these new,
• 1:06:11
  innovative events, movements,
• 1:06:15
  things that get brought
• 1:06:16
  back to the community and
• 1:06:17
  progress year to year.
• 1:06:23
  To me, it's almost like, for one,
• 1:06:25
  and this kind of goes back
• 1:06:26
  to my comment with Brooke, like
• 1:06:28
  brooke will get away with
• 1:06:30
  what she always gets away
• 1:06:31
  with and I don't think
• 1:06:33
  that's good for the sport
• 1:06:34
  there will be questionable
• 1:06:36
  movement I feel like in on
• 1:06:38
  the floor and for classic
• 1:06:41
  crossfit like if wall balls
• 1:06:43
  look like like when in the
• 1:06:45
  past when we've seen like
• 1:06:46
  someone like danny
• 1:06:47
  spiegel's wall balls and
• 1:06:48
  getting videoed like you
• 1:06:49
  don't want to see that and promote that
• 1:06:52
  Cause that's what gets back
• 1:06:53
  to the community.
• 1:06:54
  And that's how people start to move.
• 1:06:55
  And that's,
• 1:06:56
  I feel like why things have
• 1:06:57
  gone down this path where people like,
• 1:06:59
  I see,
• 1:07:00
  I see other people moving sometimes
• 1:07:01
  and I'm like,
• 1:07:02
  where did you get the idea
• 1:07:03
  that that was okay?
• 1:07:04
  And then the more I look at things,
• 1:07:05
  I'm like, well, that's,
• 1:07:06
  that's where it happens at
• 1:07:07
  the fricking cross the games.
• 1:07:08
  Carolyn.
• 1:07:09
  Uh, I'll say fiction.
• 1:07:14
  Cause I do like the,
• 1:07:15
  like the implements that
• 1:07:16
  you just can't do at home.
• 1:07:18
  Um,
• 1:07:20
  I,
• 1:07:20
  the only good part about it being like
• 1:07:22
  classic CrossFit,
• 1:07:23
  like more in the box style
• 1:07:25
  is that a lot of people
• 1:07:26
  will be able to test these workouts,
• 1:07:28
  like in their own little version, um,
• 1:07:32
  in their home affiliate to compare to the,
• 1:07:34
  to the elite athletes.
• 1:07:35
  I think that part is good.
• 1:07:37
  That part is like, um,
• 1:07:39
  important that people can
• 1:07:40
  also do some of it.
• 1:07:42
  Do I think that they should
• 1:07:44
  be able to do all the workouts?
• 1:07:46
  No,
• 1:07:46
  I think that there's something unique
• 1:07:48
  and special about the
• 1:07:48
  CrossFit Games that you
• 1:07:49
  just want to have
• 1:07:50
  implements that you can
• 1:07:52
  never do at your home
• 1:07:53
  affiliate and only at the
• 1:07:54
  CrossFit Games you get to see that.
• 1:07:56
  And that's the cool part.
• 1:07:57
  It's the visually appealing.
• 1:08:02
  That's the show that you see
• 1:08:04
  on the documentaries and all that,
• 1:08:06
  which they are making a documentary,
• 1:08:07
  they said, this year.
• 1:08:08
  Oh, they're not going to, huh?
• 1:08:11
  No, they said they are.
• 1:08:12
  Oh, okay.
• 1:08:12
  Sorry.
• 1:08:13
  CJ,
• 1:08:14
  we need a CrossFit Games that every
• 1:08:16
  workout is entertaining, motivating,
• 1:08:18
  and iconic.
• 1:08:20
  That is what we need this year.
• 1:08:21
  We need to draw the eyes.
• 1:08:25
  Yeah.
• 1:08:26
  Fiction, but better than last year.
• 1:08:30
  Someone agrees with,
• 1:08:31
  T-Money agrees with Jamie.
• 1:08:36
  Wouldn't one new thing still
• 1:08:38
  be classic CrossFit?
• 1:08:42
  The games will suffer from
• 1:08:43
  not having outdoor events,
• 1:08:44
  except the first.
• 1:08:48
  I agree with that
• 1:08:49
  wholeheartedly being outside, man.
• 1:08:52
  That's always been a thing for me.
• 1:08:53
  Like even when I go to like,
• 1:08:55
  when we went with you, Scott to Orlando,
• 1:08:59
  it's,
• 1:09:00
  It's hard for me to go
• 1:09:03
  somewhere nice and be stuck inside.
• 1:09:06
  I don't like that.
• 1:09:07
  And if I'm going somewhere for three,
• 1:09:08
  four days,
• 1:09:09
  it's only three days for you guys,
• 1:09:11
  I want to be outside for
• 1:09:12
  some of my vacation.
• 1:09:13
  I don't want to be in a cold
• 1:09:16
  convention center.
• 1:09:19
  I think they do need to be more outside.
• 1:09:23
  I know this is not significant to anything,
• 1:09:26
  but yes, please name the workouts.
• 1:09:29
  I can't remember the numbers.
• 1:09:32
  I can remember names.
• 1:09:35
  Yeah.
• 1:09:35
  You can do that for one year
• 1:09:37
  and one year only where
• 1:09:38
  that event is going to be
• 1:09:39
  known as IE one or two.
• 1:09:41
  And we'll still not even
• 1:09:43
  remember what those are.
• 1:09:44
  But name the damn workouts
• 1:09:45
  so that they're memorable.
• 1:09:47
  All I can remember hearing
• 1:09:48
  is people who won trophies.
• 1:09:50
  I think Emily Rolfe told me this.
• 1:09:53
  that the year was twenty
• 1:09:55
  nineteen when they did all
• 1:09:56
  the cuts and all of the
• 1:09:59
  events were named first cut, second cut,
• 1:10:01
  third cut.
• 1:10:02
  She said nothing is worse
• 1:10:04
  than getting a trophy for
• 1:10:05
  winning an event.
• 1:10:06
  And it's saying third cut.
• 1:10:09
  It sounds like you lost or
• 1:10:11
  that you were booted and
• 1:10:12
  that's what's on your
• 1:10:13
  trophy for the rest of your life.
• 1:10:15
  I mean,
• 1:10:16
  it's not the worst problem to have
• 1:10:18
  to have a trophy of winning
• 1:10:19
  an event at the CrossFit Games.
• 1:10:21
  True, true.
• 1:10:23
  third cut but yes they
• 1:10:25
  should they should be named
• 1:10:28
  uh as a fellow new yorker
• 1:10:29
  trust me you don't want to
• 1:10:30
  be outside in albany well
• 1:10:37
  we should have stayed in madison
• 1:10:39
  first cut was iconic I think
• 1:10:41
  if if that's the one name
• 1:10:43
  was first cut and that
• 1:10:44
  makes sense but and
• 1:10:45
  everyone everyone knows
• 1:10:47
  that workout too like you
• 1:10:48
  say first cut and everyone
• 1:10:50
  knows that workout in the
• 1:10:51
  crossfit space um because
• 1:10:54
  that one was memorable once
• 1:10:56
  you start saying second
• 1:10:57
  third fourth you're like I
• 1:10:58
  don't know which one this one is
• 1:11:01
  All right, let's go to the next one.
• 1:11:04
  Factor Fiction.
• 1:11:05
  Holly, our facts and information person,
• 1:11:09
  exposed a running event for
• 1:11:11
  the age group CrossFit
• 1:11:12
  Games by finding the
• 1:11:13
  application here in
• 1:11:15
  Columbus for the Olentangy Trail.
• 1:11:18
  And any efforts that the
• 1:11:20
  legends have subsequently
• 1:11:22
  made making a denial are
• 1:11:25
  just covering their tracks.
• 1:11:26
  I say fact.
• 1:11:31
  They have the Teams Legends
• 1:11:34
  events that they've released.
• 1:11:36
  I think they were programmed by Mayhem,
• 1:11:38
  if I'm not mistaken.
• 1:11:40
  And like the one event is a
• 1:11:42
  three and a half K run.
• 1:11:43
  Are these programmed by Mayhem?
• 1:11:45
  Yeah, what's not programmed by Mayhem?
• 1:11:47
  Three and a half K run, four K rolling,
• 1:11:50
  three and a half K run.
• 1:11:52
  And it's like a double scored event,
• 1:11:54
  which was seven K,
• 1:11:55
  which is one of the things
• 1:11:55
  that they were applying for.
• 1:11:58
  Um, seven K of running, um, and like,
• 1:12:00
  it's a two scored event and
• 1:12:02
  one event score is the
• 1:12:03
  three and a half K plus the
• 1:12:04
  four K on the row.
• 1:12:07
  And then the second score is
• 1:12:09
  like your total time,
• 1:12:10
  which I think you're just
• 1:12:11
  getting two hundred points
• 1:12:12
  to the same people.
• 1:12:13
  Yeah.
• 1:12:14
  Like.
• 1:12:16
  just it doesn't need to be a
• 1:12:18
  double scored event like
• 1:12:19
  that if that's the team event um
• 1:12:28
  If people don't know, Holly sent me,
• 1:12:31
  she posted and then she
• 1:12:32
  sent me the application
• 1:12:35
  that names them and pit
• 1:12:37
  prodigies as the
• 1:12:40
  application to use the trail in a five K,
• 1:12:44
  six K and seven K denominations.
• 1:12:48
  We posted that legends then said, well,
• 1:12:51
  here are the real events.
• 1:12:52
  And they showed someone wrestling a bear,
• 1:12:54
  showed someone doing a
• 1:12:55
  squat with a million things on them, um,
• 1:12:59
  trying to deflect.
• 1:13:00
  And they said fake news on our post.
• 1:13:04
  So is it a,
• 1:13:08
  like a seven K is it like a
• 1:13:11
  three and a half K out and back?
• 1:13:13
  Is that what's been applied for?
• 1:13:15
  You know,
• 1:13:16
  It doesn't show how far the trail.
• 1:13:19
  But it's a long trail.
• 1:13:21
  It goes from downtown
• 1:13:22
  Columbus to up by my house,
• 1:13:24
  which is like twenty miles away.
• 1:13:27
  So I think they're asking
• 1:13:29
  for increments along that trail.
• 1:13:32
  I just feel like
• 1:13:34
  because my original thought
• 1:13:35
  was they were going to try
• 1:13:36
  to do something similar to
• 1:13:38
  the individual individual
• 1:13:40
  event one of the games and
• 1:13:41
  also row in there but if
• 1:13:44
  they've applied for seven k
• 1:13:46
  of distance on that trail I
• 1:13:48
  don't honestly don't see I
• 1:13:51
  don't see how they would do
• 1:13:53
  that I mean because you
• 1:13:54
  wouldn't run you wouldn't
• 1:13:57
  run seven k then you would
• 1:13:59
  only run a four k
• 1:14:01
  like a two K out, two K back row,
• 1:14:03
  and then go run another.
• 1:14:04
  So like if seven K is blocked off, I mean,
• 1:14:08
  I feel like we're just straight running,
• 1:14:09
  which.
• 1:14:10
  That's what I thought too.
• 1:14:14
  I love running.
• 1:14:16
  Yeah.
• 1:14:17
  But I, I,
• 1:14:19
  it just as much as I think the
• 1:14:21
  back squat is not a great workout.
• 1:14:22
  I, if it's just a straight run,
• 1:14:24
  I don't think that's a great workout.
• 1:14:25
  Like I,
• 1:14:27
  And it pains me to say that
• 1:14:28
  because... And most likely
• 1:14:29
  the same person would win the five K,
• 1:14:31
  the six K and the seven K.
• 1:14:31
  It'd be the same thing.
• 1:14:32
  Well,
• 1:14:33
  that will be... I think that's for
• 1:14:34
  age group difference.
• 1:14:36
  So like the sixty,
• 1:14:37
  like I would assume it'd
• 1:14:38
  probably be sixteen all the
• 1:14:39
  way to like forty nine is
• 1:14:41
  going to run seven K. Fifty,
• 1:14:43
  the fourteen and fifteen
• 1:14:44
  year old... I'm saying,
• 1:14:45
  do you even need those
• 1:14:46
  extra two kilometers?
• 1:14:47
  Like I still think the same,
• 1:14:48
  the same athletes...
• 1:14:50
  five six seven are pretty
• 1:14:53
  pretty set yeah I don't
• 1:14:55
  think that they would need
• 1:14:56
  three different distances
• 1:14:57
  is what I'm saying you
• 1:14:58
  could just do a five k
• 1:15:00
  right but we already did
• 1:15:01
  that so isn't legends being
• 1:15:04
  programmed by boulder
• 1:15:05
  athlete jason grubb the
• 1:15:06
  legends is being programmed
• 1:15:08
  by them the games is being
• 1:15:11
  programmed by legends bob and joe
• 1:15:15
  The famous Bob and the team
• 1:15:16
  workouts that I'm talking about,
• 1:15:18
  and are not that have been
• 1:15:20
  released that I'm talking
• 1:15:20
  about were programmed by mayhem.
• 1:15:23
  And they separate little
• 1:15:24
  division at the age group crossing games.
• 1:15:29
  Yeah.
• 1:15:30
  Well, yeah,
• 1:15:30
  it's just a community thing
• 1:15:32
  that you could just sign up for it.
• 1:15:33
  You didn't there was no
• 1:15:34
  qualification for it.
• 1:15:35
  It is not part of the games.
• 1:15:37
  Yes,
• 1:15:37
  being done at the same place as the
• 1:15:39
  games.
• 1:15:41
  Another new member, AZZaki.
• 1:15:43
  Thank you so much.
• 1:15:44
  Glad you could be a member.
• 1:15:46
  We love having you guys.
• 1:15:49
  Holly clears up.
• 1:15:50
  The five K, six K,
• 1:15:51
  seven K was just a
• 1:15:52
  description on the application.
• 1:15:53
  There wasn't a specific
• 1:15:54
  distance of the trail marked off.
• 1:15:56
  Okay.
• 1:16:00
  Interesting.
• 1:16:02
  I don't know.
• 1:16:03
  Yeah.
• 1:16:03
  I will be very curious to
• 1:16:04
  see what comes out of this.
• 1:16:07
  But yeah,
• 1:16:08
  we're definitely out there running them,
• 1:16:09
  them trying to post anything otherwise is,
• 1:16:12
  I mean, they've already said,
• 1:16:14
  like in that master share, they said,
• 1:16:15
  bring some, like,
• 1:16:15
  you're going to be outside for something,
• 1:16:17
  bring sunscreen,
• 1:16:19
  or I don't know what they
• 1:16:19
  said on the master share,
• 1:16:20
  something to the effect
• 1:16:21
  that we're going outside
• 1:16:22
  for a little bit.
• 1:16:24
  All right, let's move on to the next one.
• 1:16:26
  Factor fiction.
• 1:16:28
  Tia will never retire and
• 1:16:30
  win at least ten times.
• 1:16:33
  Fiction.
• 1:16:38
  I don't know.
• 1:16:38
  I almost say fact.
• 1:16:42
  I think she's going for another,
• 1:16:43
  do you think this year and
• 1:16:44
  then two more years after?
• 1:16:47
  I do think.
• 1:16:47
  I think that's, well, unless there's any.
• 1:16:50
  I think this is her last one.
• 1:16:52
  If there's any truth to the
• 1:16:53
  pregnancy or they're going to be trying,
• 1:16:57
  she may be done.
• 1:17:00
  But I think she could come
• 1:17:04
  back and win another one.
• 1:17:05
  And I think she'll say, why not?
• 1:17:08
  I didn't,
• 1:17:09
  I didn't say she couldn't come
• 1:17:10
  back and win.
• 1:17:10
  I just think, I think that she'll,
• 1:17:13
  I think that this will be her last year.
• 1:17:16
  I think she's going to still
• 1:17:17
  have it and she's going to
• 1:17:18
  want to still compete and
• 1:17:19
  she's still going to have it.
• 1:17:20
  Yeah.
• 1:17:21
  So why not?
• 1:17:27
  I, I, I,
• 1:17:28
  after watching those two documentaries,
• 1:17:32
  the road to the games with
• 1:17:33
  her and the Torian pro thing,
• 1:17:36
  I don't think she'll ever retire.
• 1:17:38
  She said after Torian, they asked her,
• 1:17:39
  are you going to go to the games?
• 1:17:41
  And her plan was not to,
• 1:17:42
  if you hear Shane and she's like, well,
• 1:17:45
  I had the fire and I
• 1:17:46
  thought if I still have the fire,
• 1:17:49
  why not go?
• 1:17:51
  Exactly.
• 1:17:52
  And then she's going to
• 1:17:53
  finish the games and
• 1:17:54
  realize I still have the fire.
• 1:17:55
  Exactly.
• 1:17:57
  And I can mess around and do
• 1:17:58
  other things and.
• 1:17:59
  And still come with.
• 1:18:00
  Season and still come and win.
• 1:18:02
  Exactly.
• 1:18:02
  Exactly.
• 1:18:06
  don't think she'll retire
• 1:18:07
  high rocks I think she's
• 1:18:07
  going to put some more
• 1:18:08
  effort into that too but
• 1:18:10
  she will give up the
• 1:18:10
  greatest marketing ploy
• 1:18:12
  ever brought up by carolyn
• 1:18:14
  privo and and graphed out
• 1:18:16
  by raftaran it's still the
• 1:18:19
  infinity she's just going
• 1:18:20
  to keep winning it works it
• 1:18:24
  is it is a great marketing
• 1:18:26
  to do though to do that
• 1:18:27
  eight there infinity
• 1:18:32
  I don't know.
• 1:18:32
  I just think with her daughter, you know,
• 1:18:35
  starting to get a little
• 1:18:36
  bit older where it's going to be,
• 1:18:39
  you want to be there for certain parts of,
• 1:18:43
  you know, her development in her life.
• 1:18:45
  I just see her maybe taking
• 1:18:47
  a little bit of a step back.
• 1:18:52
  CJ says she has an addiction
• 1:18:53
  problem for sure.
• 1:18:58
  Part of me when I wrote this
• 1:18:59
  was I'm being facetious.
• 1:19:02
  Because I didn't really think this.
• 1:19:04
  But then I'm like, she could finish and go,
• 1:19:07
  well,
• 1:19:07
  I am only two away from like ten in
• 1:19:09
  a row.
• 1:19:10
  Or not ten in a row, but ten.
• 1:19:12
  Yeah.
• 1:19:13
  Ten minus the one year.
• 1:19:15
  And then it's only two more years.
• 1:19:23
  Yep.
• 1:19:26
  Good point as well.
• 1:19:27
  Also depends on what the new owners do.
• 1:19:28
  That's true.
• 1:19:30
  Yep, we'll see what the prize purse is.
• 1:19:41
  Owners could make the money less,
• 1:19:43
  keep it the same,
• 1:19:43
  or make a million for the first.
• 1:19:46
  You never know.
• 1:19:49
  Ain't never going to be a
• 1:19:50
  million right now.
• 1:19:51
  No.
• 1:19:51
  Okay.
• 1:19:54
  Okay.
• 1:19:57
  Here we go.
• 1:19:58
  Last one, and the most important one.
• 1:20:02
  Fact or fiction?
• 1:20:04
  Scott,
• 1:20:04
  the lifelong Bears fan will turn
• 1:20:06
  into a twelve-year-old boy
• 1:20:07
  if he gets to meet Tyson Bajent.
• 1:20:12
  Fact.
• 1:20:15
  You're just a little too
• 1:20:17
  composed for me to say fact to this.
• 1:20:19
  I think you will be ecstatic,
• 1:20:22
  but you will not be
• 1:20:23
  I am really composed around CrossFitters.
• 1:20:26
  I've done it, and I do pretty well there.
• 1:20:33
  I don't know.
• 1:20:33
  I think I will turn into a
• 1:20:35
  mush ball if I get to meet Tyson Bajent.
• 1:20:38
  If people don't realize,
• 1:20:40
  I listen to two types of podcasts,
• 1:20:43
  CrossFit, Chicago Bears, all day long.
• 1:20:47
  That's all I listen to.
• 1:20:48
  What if you interview him?
• 1:20:52
  oh lord I don't know I don't
• 1:20:57
  know someone check on scott
• 1:21:02
  yeah see I need to make it
• 1:21:04
  there saturday if that's
• 1:21:06
  what day is coming just to
• 1:21:07
  see this and just throw
• 1:21:09
  down on him okay I think I
• 1:21:11
  think we need to make that
• 1:21:12
  interview happen
• 1:21:15
  Grey Worm, I follow everything Bears,
• 1:21:19
  from number one on the
• 1:21:20
  depth chart to the
• 1:21:22
  fifty-third man on the roster.
• 1:21:24
  Every bit of it.
• 1:21:26
  Oh, my gosh.
• 1:21:26
  I would... I'm getting
• 1:21:31
  goosebumps right now
• 1:21:32
  thinking about the possibility.
• 1:21:33
  Right.
• 1:21:36
  Someone clip that and send it to Tyson.
• 1:21:43
  Well, I just wanted to...
• 1:21:47
  Clock,
• 1:21:48
  would you also gush if you met Carm?
• 1:21:49
  No.
• 1:21:51
  And Carm is the host of one
• 1:21:52
  of the podcasts that both
• 1:21:53
  Clock and I watch.
• 1:21:54
  Even though Clock denied it
• 1:21:55
  the first time I asked him,
• 1:21:57
  I keep seeing him in the chat.
• 1:22:00
  But yeah, I would not gush over Carm.
• 1:22:03
  Adam Hogue, maybe.
• 1:22:04
  Carm, never.
• 1:22:05
  All right,
• 1:22:09
  so that's Factor Fiction for this week.
• 1:22:11
  We also got a big announcement today.
• 1:22:16
  Carolyn shared that.
• 1:22:16
  I need to get to banners.
• 1:22:18
  There we go.
• 1:22:20
  And that is,
• 1:22:20
  we got a big announcement
• 1:22:21
  today that an old
• 1:22:23
  CrossFitter is dusting off
• 1:22:26
  the Metcons and heading
• 1:22:28
  back out onto the floor one last time.
• 1:22:33
  And I'm going to try to look
• 1:22:35
  it up real quick.
• 1:22:43
  So if you did not see this today,
• 1:22:47
  a team member of one of the
• 1:22:49
  teams out there lost a
• 1:22:51
  member due to injury and
• 1:22:55
  Miss Kristen Holta is going
• 1:22:57
  to fill in due to an
• 1:22:59
  unfortunate injury to Ingrid Hodenmeier.
• 1:23:05
  She is out and I have been
• 1:23:06
  asked to step in for team
• 1:23:08
  CrossFit Oslo Krieger.
• 1:23:10
  When your team needs you, you show up.
• 1:23:15
  So there is Kristen Holta as
• 1:23:18
  the new team member for team Oslo-Krager.
• 1:23:24
  What do we think about that?
• 1:23:25
  It's not a bad replacement, huh?
• 1:23:25
  It's not a bad replacement.
• 1:23:28
  Man.
• 1:23:32
  Grant, or CJ, talk to her at NorCal.
• 1:23:35
  Stoked to see her back on the floor.
• 1:23:38
  One of the best CrossFitters of all time.
• 1:23:42
  That's a huge advantage.
• 1:23:45
  Yeah,
• 1:23:47
  just a sub that maybe a former podium
• 1:23:50
  finisher.
• 1:23:53
  Always like top, definitely always top ten,
• 1:23:55
  but like around the seventh
• 1:23:56
  place and yeah.
• 1:24:00
  CJ asks, did they get better?
• 1:24:04
  She's a different type of athlete.
• 1:24:06
  Like Ingrid's super, super strong.
• 1:24:09
  I think Ingrid had a baby last year.
• 1:24:11
  Am I wrong thinking that?
• 1:24:14
  Ingrid's very, very strong,
• 1:24:15
  but Holt is just so well-rounded.
• 1:24:19
  They're better.
• 1:24:21
  There's no way that you
• 1:24:21
  can't be better at having
• 1:24:24
  Chris and Holt on your team.
• 1:24:25
  Yeah, I don't know that at the downgrade.
• 1:24:29
  Hopefully it brings some
• 1:24:30
  eyes to the team competition.
• 1:24:32
  There's some teams that are
• 1:24:34
  going to be really good this year.
• 1:24:37
  Grey Worms saying Mayhem wins?
• 1:24:39
  I don't know.
• 1:24:40
  Invictus is strong.
• 1:24:43
  Literally.
• 1:24:44
  Well, they have Danny.
• 1:24:45
  That's Danny's team, right?
• 1:24:47
  Yeah.
• 1:24:47
  Yeah.
• 1:24:49
  Isn't that like Danny Chandler?
• 1:24:53
  Is Jesse doing it again?
• 1:24:54
  I thought so.
• 1:24:55
  So it's Danny, Jesse.
• 1:24:56
  I don't know.
• 1:24:58
  I don't think it's Jesse.
• 1:25:00
  I think it's Emily Reth.
• 1:25:03
  Oh, it is Emily?
• 1:25:05
  Over Jesse?
• 1:25:06
  I think it's Emily Rethwill.
• 1:25:08
  We're so good at the team stuff.
• 1:25:11
  I have not been...
• 1:25:13
  nope that's not where I've
• 1:25:14
  been it's a great team
• 1:25:15
  nonetheless though but I
• 1:25:16
  don't think chandler and
• 1:25:18
  jesse are doing it it's uh
• 1:25:21
  emily and danny I think are
• 1:25:22
  the females and the males
• 1:25:24
  is it still el chama no no
• 1:25:25
  bill and it's danny okay
• 1:25:32
  allison's got it do all
• 1:25:34
  since phil sean danny emily
• 1:25:38
  okay which danny and emily
• 1:25:40
  are completely different
• 1:25:41
  athletes right if you talk
• 1:25:42
  about one of the best
• 1:25:42
  runners in the field like
• 1:25:44
  emily is a great great
• 1:25:46
  runner comes from a track
• 1:25:47
  background and then danny
• 1:25:49
  not as as good of a runner
• 1:25:50
  but so strong and emily I
• 1:25:52
  think would say that she's
• 1:25:54
  probably not the strongest
• 1:25:56
  um but then the gymnastics
• 1:25:57
  wise I think both are good
• 1:25:58
  so I think that's a pretty
• 1:25:59
  good compliment for like
• 1:26:00
  both females yeah I'm not
• 1:26:03
  familiar with them phil
• 1:26:05
  mozzarella which is actually muscatella
• 1:26:07
  Muscarella.
• 1:26:08
  Muscarella.
• 1:26:09
  I read that and I saw
• 1:26:10
  nothing wrong with that name.
• 1:26:15
  Phil Muscarella.
• 1:26:16
  Yeah.
• 1:26:20
  Phil Toon.
• 1:26:20
  Oh boy.
• 1:26:21
  Yeah.
• 1:26:23
  We don't need to talk Phil Toon anymore.
• 1:26:27
  So yeah, that was big news.
• 1:26:29
  Kristen coming back.
• 1:26:30
  I think that's awesome.
• 1:26:31
  Yeah.
• 1:26:31
  We also heard this week that
• 1:26:32
  Brookwell says goodbye.
• 1:26:34
  Yeah.
• 1:26:35
  It was her dream to do ten.
• 1:26:36
  She's doing ten.
• 1:26:38
  She's launching at the end of the month.
• 1:26:41
  I've already given my
• 1:26:41
  opinion on where she's going to finish,
• 1:26:43
  which was not high.
• 1:26:45
  Jamie thought she would finish high,
• 1:26:49
  but she has had a pretty amazing career.
• 1:26:52
  She has.
• 1:26:55
  I think she dominated the syndicate crown,
• 1:26:56
  though,
• 1:26:57
  and there were some great athletes there.
• 1:27:00
  I just think she had a
• 1:27:01
  better front end than a back end of that,
• 1:27:03
  and I worry about sustained
• 1:27:07
  volume over a long weekend.
• 1:27:11
  She finished lower teens at the WFP.
• 1:27:26
  Do you think if there was a Hall of Fame,
• 1:27:28
  Brooke would be in it?
• 1:27:34
  sure yeah that's a long
• 1:27:35
  career like there's not a
• 1:27:38
  lot of athletes that have
• 1:27:39
  done ten individual right
• 1:27:42
  on the female side is like
• 1:27:48
  did rebecca would do ten
• 1:27:49
  with the individuals or is
• 1:27:51
  that with the masters I
• 1:27:53
  know she's past that now
• 1:27:54
  but yeah like I don't know
• 1:27:56
  that many that have ten on
• 1:27:58
  the female side
• 1:28:02
  But, yeah, absolutely.
• 1:28:03
  Like,
• 1:28:03
  I think that she was – she played a
• 1:28:05
  critical part in, you know,
• 1:28:09
  the growth of the sport
• 1:28:11
  marketing herself.
• 1:28:12
  Like, look at how many followers she has.
• 1:28:14
  I think she has, like,
• 1:28:15
  close to a couple millions.
• 1:28:18
  Yeah,
• 1:28:19
  I think she would be a no-brainer for
• 1:28:22
  a Hall of Fame.
• 1:28:28
  Kenneth Leps's first ballot vote.
• 1:28:31
  Meredith,
• 1:28:31
  anyone with that long of a career
• 1:28:33
  should be in the Hall of Fame.
• 1:28:36
  I don't want to make that
• 1:28:37
  statement because you'd
• 1:28:41
  have to see what the career was.
• 1:28:42
  I think it's so hard to do
• 1:28:44
  ten years individual.
• 1:28:48
  Agreed.
• 1:28:49
  I think that what she's done
• 1:28:53
  is pretty hard to do.
• 1:28:58
  Did she ever podium?
• 1:28:59
  I don't think she did.
• 1:29:00
  I think she finished fourth one year.
• 1:29:04
  Did she finish fifth at the
• 1:29:06
  Ranch Games in twenty twenty?
• 1:29:09
  She did.
• 1:29:13
  Like Tia with this year.
• 1:29:18
  Has ten as well, right?
• 1:29:21
  With her to second place and then.
• 1:29:24
  Yes, possibly eight.
• 1:29:27
  yeah that's crazy too when
• 1:29:29
  they were doing the road to
• 1:29:31
  the games and she was like
• 1:29:31
  again and then I won again
• 1:29:34
  and then I won again I was
• 1:29:36
  like my god that's it oh
• 1:29:39
  just just kept saying and
• 1:29:41
  then I came back and won
• 1:29:43
  again no crossfit does not
• 1:29:45
  have a hall of fame I just
• 1:29:47
  said if they did
• 1:29:53
  I think the longevity is fine,
• 1:29:54
  but she also had a ton of
• 1:29:57
  top ten finishes.
• 1:29:59
  Yeah.
• 1:29:59
  Right.
• 1:30:00
  She's been a very good athlete.
• 1:30:03
  Yeah.
• 1:30:04
  All right.
• 1:30:05
  Last thing on the list is
• 1:30:06
  demo team was announced this week.
• 1:30:12
  And it ended up being.
• 1:30:15
  Sure.
• 1:30:15
  I did not write it down, of course.
• 1:30:18
  But one thing I've been
• 1:30:18
  talking about this week,
• 1:30:19
  and Carolyn can speak to this,
• 1:30:22
  is it's a really cool thing
• 1:30:23
  to be invited to the demo team,
• 1:30:26
  but it can be a great advantage.
• 1:30:29
  From the last three years,
• 1:30:31
  forty-one percent of the
• 1:30:33
  people on the demo team are
• 1:30:35
  in this year's games.
• 1:30:38
  So that's telling you that
• 1:30:39
  they've learned something
• 1:30:41
  in that time with Dave and testing,
• 1:30:45
  and then now can translate
• 1:30:48
  that into what you can do
• 1:30:52
  with your career.
• 1:30:53
  And so we have Caroline Stanley,
• 1:30:55
  we have Kyra Milligan,
• 1:30:57
  we have Christine Kohlenbrander,
• 1:31:00
  we have Royce Dunn, Nate Ackerman,
• 1:31:03
  and... Rafa Sanson.
• 1:31:07
  Rafa Sanson.
• 1:31:15
  Yeah, it's pretty good.
• 1:31:17
  Carolyn, your experience?
• 1:31:19
  I had a great experience.
• 1:31:21
  I would never turn that down.
• 1:31:22
  I think it was really cool
• 1:31:24
  to look at the behind the
• 1:31:25
  scenes and how much they
• 1:31:26
  really care about getting
• 1:31:29
  the right stimulus, the right program,
• 1:31:31
  everything done well.
• 1:31:33
  Yeah,
• 1:31:34
  it was a unique way to test the games
• 1:31:36
  without being there because
• 1:31:38
  when you're inviting
• 1:31:39
  someone to be on the demo team,
• 1:31:40
  you're inviting some of the
• 1:31:42
  people that are just on the bubble,
• 1:31:44
  which is why you are
• 1:31:45
  grabbing good people that
• 1:31:46
  can qualify the next year
• 1:31:48
  or within a couple of years normally.
• 1:31:51
  I thought it was a great
• 1:31:52
  experience when I did it.
• 1:31:54
  I got to meet
• 1:31:56
  you know, really cool people on the staff,
• 1:31:58
  um,
• 1:31:58
  and just kind of experience the games
• 1:32:01
  in a different, unique way.
• 1:32:03
  Um, yeah, I love my experience.
• 1:32:05
  There's just, and we've talked about it,
• 1:32:07
  you know, you talked about it on your,
• 1:32:09
  on your lunch.
• 1:32:09
  So like,
• 1:32:10
  there's some perception sometimes
• 1:32:13
  when certain athletes are
• 1:32:14
  chosen on the demo team
• 1:32:16
  that are affiliated with training camps.
• 1:32:19
  Um,
• 1:32:20
  like I'm not a part of a training camp.
• 1:32:22
  So like,
• 1:32:23
  I didn't really talk to any of the
• 1:32:24
  athletes.
• 1:32:25
  Like, like it was like a high, but like,
• 1:32:26
  I'm not going in their hotel rooms,
• 1:32:27
  you know, during that weekend,
• 1:32:28
  I'm not talking, you know,
• 1:32:30
  with their coaches,
• 1:32:30
  they're like my friends and
• 1:32:32
  just sitting down because like,
• 1:32:34
  you're not putting yourself
• 1:32:35
  in any position where it looks bad.
• 1:32:37
  Um, and like,
• 1:32:39
  you don't want to give any information.
• 1:32:40
  So I just hope that there's, um,
• 1:32:45
  know no leaks like there's
• 1:32:47
  been leaks almost every
• 1:32:48
  single year whether it's
• 1:32:50
  the demo athletes or
• 1:32:51
  whether it's the testing
• 1:32:52
  athletes or people that are
• 1:32:54
  present during testing
• 1:32:55
  because it doesn't
• 1:32:56
  necessarily needs to be the
• 1:32:57
  athletes it could be other
• 1:32:58
  people that are present but
• 1:33:01
  you know the perception of
• 1:33:03
  having you know a couple
• 1:33:04
  mayhem athletes on the demo
• 1:33:05
  team proven even brute I
• 1:33:08
  think I think rafa's brute
• 1:33:09
  if I'm not mistaken I don't
• 1:33:11
  know what's christine is
• 1:33:12
  she anything or no
• 1:33:14
  but it's also hard to find
• 1:33:17
  good athletes that are
• 1:33:18
  going to be testing and
• 1:33:20
  like not affiliated with
• 1:33:23
  some sort of um people so
• 1:33:27
  you hope that they take
• 1:33:28
  their ndas seriously um
• 1:33:32
  Like I know I do and I want
• 1:33:33
  nothing more than a fair competition.
• 1:33:36
  Like I don't want to give
• 1:33:37
  any advantage to anyone
• 1:33:38
  when I test workouts for a
• 1:33:40
  rogue the last couple of years.
• 1:33:42
  And no one even knew that until, you know,
• 1:33:44
  my picture was posted and I was like,
• 1:33:46
  you just don't talk about it.
• 1:33:47
  But yeah,
• 1:33:48
  you just want to make sure that
• 1:33:49
  it's a fair competition in
• 1:33:51
  terms of no information and everyone,
• 1:33:54
  you know,
• 1:33:54
  is getting the same information
• 1:33:55
  at the same time.
• 1:33:56
  Because I think that's really important.
• 1:33:59
  Um, cause it's just, yeah, you, you want,
• 1:34:02
  you want a fair chance.
• 1:34:04
  Uh,
• 1:34:05
  I heard athletics asks Caroline out of
• 1:34:06
  curiosity,
• 1:34:07
  is there anything in place to
• 1:34:08
  make the demo team not
• 1:34:09
  share any information with the outside?
• 1:34:11
  You mentioned NDAs.
• 1:34:13
  Yeah, there's,
• 1:34:14
  there's an NDA that you sign.
• 1:34:16
  Um, absolutely.
• 1:34:17
  Um,
• 1:34:18
  but you still have athletes that will
• 1:34:20
  go and hang out sometimes
• 1:34:22
  like outside of once through,
• 1:34:24
  once you're done with your
• 1:34:25
  job for the day, you're testing.
• 1:34:27
  can still kind of walk
• 1:34:28
  around and normally you
• 1:34:30
  kind of stay together as a
• 1:34:31
  demo team but you still in
• 1:34:32
  the evening there's nothing
• 1:34:33
  that's like stopping you
• 1:34:35
  from going into someone's
• 1:34:36
  hotel room and saying
• 1:34:39
  whatever like if I'm being
• 1:34:40
  honest like you could and
• 1:34:43
  no one would know that like
• 1:34:44
  some people take the nda
• 1:34:47
  seriously like I like
• 1:34:49
  that's what I'm saying is I
• 1:34:50
  I take my nda extremely
• 1:34:52
  seriously and it's like
• 1:34:54
  Yeah.
• 1:34:55
  Like I've had some people
• 1:34:56
  try to DM me on Instagram
• 1:34:58
  and had wanted to ask
• 1:35:00
  questions and it's like, no.
• 1:35:04
  Even just stimulus,
• 1:35:05
  like how did that feel?
• 1:35:06
  What was your time?
• 1:35:07
  It's like you shouldn't talk
• 1:35:08
  about anything.
• 1:35:10
  Like you shouldn't even say
• 1:35:11
  what your time was.
• 1:35:13
  I think that's an advantage
• 1:35:14
  in saying this was my time.
• 1:35:15
  Like you shouldn't talk
• 1:35:16
  about anything that you tested,
• 1:35:19
  whether like if they can go
• 1:35:22
  and test it or they can
• 1:35:23
  have their partners test it
• 1:35:25
  if they want at their
• 1:35:26
  affiliate somewhere else.
• 1:35:27
  But you shouldn't give any
• 1:35:29
  information of the test that you did.
• 1:35:32
  That's how I've always looked at the NBA,
• 1:35:34
  and that's how I've always
• 1:35:36
  felt that you should treat
• 1:35:37
  being like a tester or demo team.
• 1:35:40
  Judy Reed asks,
• 1:35:41
  does demo team literally go
• 1:35:42
  out and demo the workout on
• 1:35:44
  the floor prior to the game's athletes?
• 1:35:46
  And then you can chime in here too,
• 1:35:48
  but Allison jumps in.
• 1:35:50
  Who was captain of the demo team twice?
• 1:35:53
  Demo the briefings, sometimes on the floor,
• 1:35:55
  but it's rare, testing some events.
• 1:35:58
  yeah so like testing the
• 1:36:01
  good thing is a lot of the
• 1:36:02
  individual events have
• 1:36:03
  already been like I would
• 1:36:05
  say what half have been
• 1:36:06
  released so far so I mean
• 1:36:10
  with the possibility of
• 1:36:11
  twists that could still
• 1:36:12
  happen but they'll test a
• 1:36:15
  lot of times also the team
• 1:36:16
  workouts not just the
• 1:36:17
  individual or we even
• 1:36:20
  tested some of the adapted
• 1:36:22
  stuff too which was cool
• 1:36:26
  Um, but yeah, you can, you,
• 1:36:28
  you do the briefings and everything else.
• 1:36:31
  When was the last time
• 1:36:31
  CrossFit took action on it
• 1:36:32
  for a breached NDA?
• 1:36:34
  Not sure they have in a while.
• 1:36:37
  They used to really harshly
• 1:36:39
  back in the day.
• 1:36:41
  I have not heard of that lately.
• 1:36:42
  And heard says,
• 1:36:43
  does it come with a
• 1:36:44
  four-year ban if they catch
• 1:36:45
  you sharing info?
• 1:36:46
  That was actually a question
• 1:36:47
  we posed on this show.
• 1:36:50
  Should CrossFit,
• 1:36:51
  A breached NDA result in the
• 1:36:54
  same type of ban as a
• 1:36:55
  performance enhancing drug suspension.
• 1:37:00
  But no, it does not.
• 1:37:07
  Bothers a lot.
• 1:37:09
  But I do think like a lot of
• 1:37:11
  people do take their NDAs
• 1:37:13
  very seriously and, you know,
• 1:37:16
  Like I'm not saying that
• 1:37:17
  like everyone's leaking everything,
• 1:37:19
  but I'm just saying it's
• 1:37:20
  the perception that it
• 1:37:21
  doesn't look good when you see
• 1:37:24
  you know your twin sister on
• 1:37:25
  the demo team or you see um
• 1:37:28
  people that are best
• 1:37:29
  friends with athletes or
• 1:37:31
  training buddies or
• 1:37:32
  whatever it just doesn't
• 1:37:33
  look good especially when
• 1:37:35
  you're not part of a
• 1:37:36
  training camp and you have
• 1:37:38
  no information ever on
• 1:37:40
  anything and you see that
• 1:37:42
  sometimes training camps do
• 1:37:44
  have some some additional
• 1:37:46
  information like the
• 1:37:47
  perception of always picking
• 1:37:50
  athletes that are part of
• 1:37:50
  training camp is feels like
• 1:37:52
  you're on the outside of
• 1:37:54
  knowing some stuff when you compete.
• 1:37:57
  uh allison scuds yeah for
• 1:38:00
  what it's worth there is
• 1:38:01
  likely very difficult to
• 1:38:02
  prove breach of nda but yes
• 1:38:04
  like carolyn said it comes
• 1:38:06
  down to athletes integrity
• 1:38:07
  unfortunately which is why
• 1:38:09
  the selection process is
• 1:38:10
  super important um that's
• 1:38:15
  my point raf likes the
• 1:38:17
  suspension maybe two years
• 1:38:19
  for a breach of nda yep I'd
• 1:38:20
  like that I think that's fair so
• 1:38:28
  Yeah.
• 1:38:29
  Good conversations tonight, y'all.
• 1:38:30
  I like it.
• 1:38:32
  Yeah.
• 1:38:33
  That's what we're here for.
• 1:38:35
  We don't always agree,
• 1:38:36
  but we at least talk about it.
• 1:38:42
  Does knowing the workout a
• 1:38:43
  few days ahead really make
• 1:38:44
  that much of a difference?
• 1:38:46
  Absolutely.
• 1:38:47
  If, if you know the workouts,
• 1:38:49
  you get someone else to
• 1:38:50
  test that workout for you, film it,
• 1:38:52
  send you a video.
• 1:38:53
  You can watch one of the top
• 1:38:54
  athlete that didn't make it
• 1:38:55
  to the games or someone else test it,
• 1:38:57
  get the stimulus.
• 1:38:58
  This is how you want to break it up.
• 1:38:59
  Anything at this level,
• 1:39:01
  any information earlier can help.
• 1:39:07
  And if you don't,
• 1:39:08
  could you change the way
• 1:39:10
  that you approach the workout?
• 1:39:11
  Yes.
• 1:39:12
  When these events are being released,
• 1:39:15
  if you don't think that
• 1:39:16
  camps and athletes are doing just that,
• 1:39:19
  having their friends do the workouts,
• 1:39:21
  have their friends doing
• 1:39:22
  part of the workouts,
• 1:39:23
  testing different ways of
• 1:39:26
  doing the workouts, you're crazy.
• 1:39:29
  The athlete doesn't even
• 1:39:29
  have to do it themselves.
• 1:39:33
  And those are for the ones
• 1:39:33
  that even just... Like,
• 1:39:35
  there's been five workouts released.
• 1:39:41
  So...
• 1:39:42
  Yeah, happens all the time.
