Welcome to Thursday Night CrossFit Talk.
0:48
on Clydesdale media with myself scott switzer the Clydesdale and jamie latimer what's going on that much busy day looks like you've been getting a lot of training in lately eh kinda i don't know i've i've had to message tristan a lot like my schedule has been way off um
1:15
sore from linda on new year's and then i just was off like every day last week and then i trained on sunday which is supposed to be my wet dress day so like this week's been a mess i gotta run a race on sunday so i don't know i just feel like i'm off a day so i've kind of just thrown in some strength pieces
1:35
Well, you put out two full-length feature movies of your training on YouTube earlier this week.
1:43
Yes, I did upload.
1:46
One was two hours long.
1:48
What?
1:49
Did I upload the wrong thing?
1:55
Yeah, one's three plus hours.
1:57
The other one's two plus hours.
2:01
Oh my word.
2:01
I got to go in and edit that then.
2:03
They should be like
2:04
20 minutes and they should both be 20 minutes.
2:09
No, seven minutes.
2:11
They should both be seven minutes.
2:12
Nope.
2:14
Okay.
2:14
Well, I will get on my YouTube channel and see what happened there.
2:17
That's interesting.
2:19
I don't review that stuff.
2:20
I just put it out there.
2:22
Yeah.
2:23
I've always like, wow.
2:25
I don't know what, I don't know who's going to sit through three hours of Jamie training.
2:30
Is it my thruster about burpee box?
2:33
Get over.
2:35
I don't know.
2:38
I don't know.
2:40
So strange.
2:41
I'm trying to pull it up right now.
2:42
If it'll let me.
2:44
I don't even like I don't even have space for that my phone that does not even make sense.
2:57
It's just it's all day.
2:58
Who knows what's going on.
3:02
Um, well now here it says, uh, it's there that threw me off.
3:11
Okay.
3:13
So there's like a clock in the corner.
3:18
Oh yeah.
3:18
I'm sure.
3:19
Yeah.
3:21
So, yeah.
3:23
So if you see.
3:27
Yeah.
3:27
That's my dog.
3:28
Yeah.
3:29
It says three something.
3:32
I was like three hours.
3:34
Nope.
3:35
That's minutes.
3:36
Cause the, after the point is the 10th of a second.
3:40
Okay.
3:40
It's only seven 41.
3:41
I just did that to scare you.
3:43
Okay.
3:43
That makes perfect.
3:44
I was like, they should be two seven minute pieces.
3:46
Like that doesn't even make sense.
3:48
This was terrible by the way.
3:50
Oh my God.
3:51
I don't like it.
3:55
I don't even like thrusters.
3:56
You know that.
3:56
You can go ahead like 20 seconds because it takes a second for it to start.
4:04
Ooh, kettlebell.
4:05
Double kettlebell thruster.
4:07
Yep.
4:07
21, 15, 9 kettlebell thruster.
4:09
15, 9, 6 burpee box getover.
4:11
Although I did 15, 12.
4:21
six i believe on his first round i don't know what i was thinking on his getovers wow i i usually like burpee box getovers i could not believe how wrecked my triceps and shoulders were from these kettlebells i was having a hard time like getting up from the burpee and getting onto the box and it's not it's only 40 inches like really i just was like lazy here um and then you rested so that took me seven minutes i had to rest seven minutes and then do 45 thrusters
4:52
30 box getovers.
4:54
You're taking your good old time off of the box.
4:57
Well, you know what I was trying to do?
4:59
Like keep my feet in the box.
5:01
I was trying to not do the like swing around.
5:04
So that was like sort of intentionally, like I was intentionally doing that and it was slowing me down.
5:08
I probably could have swung around a little faster, but yeah, it was nasty.
5:13
And you had to go slow here.
5:14
You weren't going to move fast on the thrusters.
5:17
Yeah.
5:18
Well,
5:20
It's awesome that you're getting your training in, but we probably should talk about Wadapalooza since that's why we're here.
5:25
Yeah.
5:28
I was looking at the Masters lineup, though.
5:31
I was really surprised.
5:33
They really limit the field at Wadapalooza.
5:36
Yeah, it's only 10, right?
5:38
Until 50, and then it's 5.
5:40
I mean... Yeah.
5:46
Not saying that it's not right.
5:48
I just was surprised.
5:50
Yeah.
5:52
So, all right.
5:54
Well, we are going to talk about Waterpalooza for a little bit.
5:58
We have some other news, too, we're going to get to at the end.
6:02
But just some quick hit news since we've last been on the air.
6:08
You've probably heard most of this stuff.
6:10
Going into Waterpalooza, there was a little hiccup with they skipped over Jacob Hart on the leaderboard to get him to...
6:20
to have a spot at Waterpalooza.
6:22
They then told Arturo Torres that he was no longer eligible for
6:34
Then there was a little bit of a stink about it.
6:36
And then Arturo canceled everything he did set up for Miami.
6:42
And then they let him in and he had to scramble and they helped him get everything back.
6:48
So he is now in, but that's why you see three heats of men and only two heats of women throughout the day today.
6:57
But I think with some other news that came out today, that'll all be fixed tomorrow.
7:01
Yeah.
7:05
danielle brandon was a late addition um to the competition she was just added within the last week um ellie turner is out and then the big story of the day today was the weather it rained for right before the first event and it rained through the third event um pretty heavy yeah those i think those boxes were soaking wet yeah
7:34
So my question to you, they talked about a little bit this morning on the Shut Up and Scribble pregame that the boxes don't get as slick, these types of boxes, when they're wet.
7:49
There's some kind of coating on it that makes it so they're not.
7:53
But they switched the workouts, too, due to the weather.
7:57
We'll kind of get into that in a little bit.
7:59
But my question to you is every time there's this type of weather stuff and we added a rogue, how fair is it?
8:07
If you're the lucky one to get the heat without the downpour, do you have those that, no, I don't even think it played out that way.
8:16
I think,
8:18
The men in the last heat who had the downpour did just as well, if not better, than the men who didn't.
8:25
But it always baffles me.
8:30
That takes away some of the fairness.
8:33
Yeah, I agree.
8:34
I noticed that a little bit at Rogue in the hot cans.
8:39
The rain was definitely different between heats.
8:41
But it doesn't seem to...
8:46
so far i like leaderboard both out of rogue and today doesn't seem to be impacted by it so i don't know if the final heat of because it's usually been the final the final heat gets worse weather it doesn't seem to get better because that would probably be the more unfair situation like they're clearly usually the better ones anyway and then if they get superior weather they're just gonna smash everyone but i mean i guess
9:14
In the grand scheme of things, it probably shouldn't matter if the heats are correct.
9:19
I just don't know like today if the heats are correct because they're in there off of the qualifier leaderboard.
9:27
So the first heat, let's go with the women because it's easier because it's two heats.
9:33
The first heat are all qualifiers.
9:35
Okay, yeah.
9:38
The second heat are all invites.
9:43
So, if you look at the men, like Sam Cornuier is in the qualifier because he didn't have a great games year.
9:56
Mm-hmm.
9:57
Right?
9:59
So, it is a little... Yeah, you're going to see some... Well, and I've known, like... So, both Arturo and especially Jacob Hart are doing quite well.
10:11
They are.
10:11
In the caps.
10:11
So...
10:13
I don't know if you should just discount these guys because they came in the qualifier and they're not your invites.
10:19
You and I have a bias against the qualifiers anyway, because you can redo the movements.
10:25
You can, they're not judged as critically as if you're in an in-person competition.
10:29
And so I don't believe that it's the best representation top to bottom.
10:36
I think that's why everybody wants to see Austin Hatfield because he's well through the qualifier process.
10:41
What's he going to look like in real life?
10:44
Yeah.
10:45
Now you and I saw him at semis.
10:46
He looked awesome.
10:48
And crash and crash.
10:52
Yeah.
10:53
Well, I saw him on the stream.
10:54
Yeah.
10:56
And then, um, he looked great today.
10:59
Yes.
11:00
Like he, he looks like he belongs.
11:05
Um, so that was, that was cool to see.
11:08
Um, so yeah, so we had weather today.
11:10
It kind of, it changed some workouts.
11:13
So as we go through the workouts, we'll explain that.
11:15
And then we had two, two athletes withdraw.
11:19
Um, last I checked and that was Alex Caron and Matilde Garnes, one man, one woman, but the Alex withdrawing actually gets them down to a 40 person field on the men's side.
11:32
So they can go to two heats tomorrow.
11:36
They should.
11:37
Yeah.
11:38
I'm still confused with the Arturo and Jacob situation.
11:45
Where did Jacob miss the invitation?
11:51
So Jacob was 44.
11:55
So he was the first person that should have went in.
11:58
They skipped over him.
12:00
Arturo was 42.
12:03
Okay.
12:03
So back on like New Year's Day, they invited Arturo.
12:08
Correct.
12:09
Okay.
12:10
So what I don't quite understand is Travis Mayer was on the leaderboard until Monday evening.
12:19
So.
12:20
So I don't know.
12:23
What leaderboard?
12:25
In like, I mean.
12:27
Because there was no official Wadapalooza leaderboard until earlier this week.
12:34
Well, I guess if you're going off of your Heat One app, they had all 40 athletes in there.
12:42
Yeah, but that was not officially from Wadapalooza.
12:47
So maybe Jacob was the replacement for Travis.
12:51
It just took a while for everything to round out.
12:54
Okay.
12:57
Yeah, I don't know.
13:00
Yeah, I found that very strange.
13:02
I couldn't quite figure out who missed the invite.
13:05
I thought Travis pulling out would make it work out anyway.
13:08
I mean, it was good on Wadapalooza to add the heat and make it work out and not just rescind the guy's invitation.
13:16
I mean, I thought that was good on them.
13:18
And even better...
13:20
Man, how risky is that?
13:22
Thank goodness.
13:23
Like today was just Latin America cup and individuals because they had the freedom to do that.
13:30
And they had to be banking on someone withdrawing.
13:33
So I was assuming that would happen anyway.
13:36
Like the day of somebody would like.
13:40
fly in late, get off the plane, feeling sick, like something that happens all the time.
13:44
I almost feel like they should always have us.
13:46
Like if somebody is there and willing to compete, they should be able to fill the spot.
13:51
So I would have just told the guy come and we're going to hope to get you in.
13:57
But I guess that wouldn't have worked because it was full until, until this third event.
14:02
So then I don't know what you do.
14:05
They had a little freedom with the schedule today.
14:09
They probably don't have that tomorrow.
14:11
So it was probably a risk.
14:13
Yep.
14:14
For sure.
14:18
Kenneth, actually back on the weather, says the games being indoors is proving to be a good thing.
14:24
It may.
14:27
It may.
14:28
Yeah, it kind of is fun events, but I do think for scheduling for TV, for all that stuff, it's, it's going to make things run much smoother.
14:39
Yeah.
14:40
Yeah.
14:41
Like, I mean, we've seen it all day, people complaining about the change in these workouts and how not exciting some of these changes have been.
14:50
So like,
14:53
usually you write it to be fairly exciting right and then if you have to change it so i i do think like get the programming that you want in there and stick with it and you to do that you need to be in an indoor a controlled environment so let's go to the workouts the first workout was not changed right because it was under the awning like that's that one's in tina hills um
15:22
And I actually thought it was pretty exciting.
15:23
I thought only having two chances, it moved really fast.
15:27
The heats were in and out like super fast.
15:32
For doing like seven heats for women and seven heats of men, like it moved quick.
15:40
But a couple observations for me were one, I picked Braun on the Heat One app.
15:47
Okay.
15:49
And Braun did not understand the rules.
15:54
And cost me big on the Heat One app.
15:58
What didn't he understand?
16:01
So I think he thought as long as he got it off the ground before the 45 seconds, he was good.
16:07
And so he went to lift it and the judge was like, you only have four seconds.
16:13
And so he was just like, well.
16:16
So I was under the impression the lift would count.
16:21
It was just, you couldn't do it over your overhead squats had to be within the 45 seconds.
16:26
No lift.
16:28
The lift had to be completed within the 45 seconds.
16:34
That makes me, I know everyone was like kind of up in arms with Danny Spiegel's no rep, but she would, I feel like she was going to get time capped anyway.
16:42
Like basically right after he said no and she dropped it.
16:45
I don't think she was going to hit it, stand it up and beat and get the go ahead before that beat.
16:49
That looks so light.
16:53
That beeped very quickly of the note.
16:55
Like she basically was like, what?
16:57
No, but it beeped at that time.
16:58
So like, I don't know.
17:00
I don't know if she would have had it.
17:03
Well, I'm not a Spiegel hater like everybody else.
17:05
So that was good.
17:09
First of all, that was a good rep.
17:13
It was.
17:14
And if you look at Guy's kind of almost simultaneous bring down,
17:21
I think that judge was like already in his head.
17:24
I don't like, I don't know if it was truly the, you didn't wait for my down signal or if it was something else in his mind or it was a time thing or, or like, I just feel like that judge was like already at no rep in here.
17:39
One.
17:40
I've been, I was a CrossFit judge for a very long time.
17:43
I never gave a down signal.
17:47
Right.
17:48
At a, at a,
17:50
legit CrossFit competition, especially in a complex, like in a complex, you can't, you can't stop them.
18:00
Right.
18:00
You, you can know rep them like if they don't, but she, she had control at the top.
18:08
Her feet were back together or she had control at the top before she brought it down.
18:12
Yeah.
18:12
I thought it was a good lift too.
18:13
I was like, Oh, she got this.
18:14
Yeah.
18:15
Yeah.
18:17
Now, whether she gets that in or not, we'll never know.
18:20
But she should have been given the opportunity.
18:23
Yeah, it's unfortunate.
18:27
I picked her, so I was pretty bummed about it.
18:32
Second's fine, though.
18:34
Yeah, yeah.
18:38
So she takes second.
18:41
The other thing, Julie Hannaford, out of nowhere...
18:47
I don't know.
18:48
I think that's kind of her thing.
18:52
So I I can't believe I don't know who she is.
18:58
She's from Iceland.
19:01
She Okay, right.
19:03
She's your European in some I don't know some of those, like bottom half as well.
19:11
So but I think I think that's kind of gonna be her one thing this weekend.
19:18
Well, she had two things today.
19:20
So, cause she's still up on the leaderboard.
19:23
Is she?
19:24
Yeah.
19:24
She do okay in the, in the deja vu.
19:28
Cause I don't, I feel like I didn't see her do great in Portadita.
19:35
I had the leaderboard ready, right?
19:37
Yup.
19:40
Slacking.
19:41
I will say I'm like struggling with this, the camera and the coverage and,
19:47
the names at the top, not always being there, not, not really like lane assignment knowing if you aren't like super familiar with everyone on the field and able to like discern what's going on, you're struggling with this coverage.
20:01
So she's an 11.
20:02
Yeah.
20:04
She took, then she took a 13th and then she took a 37th.
20:11
Yeah.
20:12
That's okay.
20:13
So that's when I saw, yeah.
20:17
Yeah.
20:18
You're right.
20:19
Yeah.
20:20
We'll see what tomorrow brings.
20:21
I don't know.
20:22
Maybe she's like, maybe she's a swimmer.
20:24
So maybe tomorrow won't be awful.
20:26
I don't know.
20:28
Yeah.
20:30
So Gi being Gi.
20:33
Yeah.
20:36
The interview after...
20:40
When he said, 295 is close to 300.
20:45
310 is close to 300.
20:48
So I just went to 310.
20:53
And then it didn't even look like it was hard.
20:57
I know.
20:58
He makes snatches look so easy.
21:06
Okay.
21:08
Sorry, I'm reading Holly's thing.
21:11
There was a, uh, an error on the men's leaderboard.
21:14
So she took it down.
21:15
Okay.
21:17
Hi taxidermy.
21:21
Um, so any, did you have any thoughts on the lift at all?
21:26
Snatches?
21:27
Um, I thought Fargo would be higher.
21:29
I mean, he didn't, don't get me wrong.
21:34
He did fine.
21:35
I just, I thought he, I thought he'd be like top three, like kind of no question.
21:41
I thought it'd be Guy, Farlow, Braun is what I thought it would be.
21:45
Well, whatever.
21:48
I'm thoroughly impressed.
21:51
And I almost picked both Rosamund and Gerald for my top 10.
21:57
I'm thoroughly impressed with both of them, especially in the snatches.
22:00
They both looked great.
22:03
Yeah, I did pick Rosamund for my top 10.
22:06
Did you?
22:08
I don't.
22:10
But I don't know where.
22:12
But he always... You know, that's where we get a little bit of an advantage by talking to all the semifinalists.
22:22
Like, I know his schedule has freed up in the last 10 months.
22:29
And he's being able to dedicate more time to his CrossFit and less to being a lawyer in the Army because he's now part of the Army Warrior fitness team.
22:39
Yep.
22:41
So that gives him a lot more time to train.
22:44
And I really thought that he would come out.
22:46
And he's a great athlete anyway.
22:49
He was on the cusp at semis this year.
22:55
Yeah, I know.
22:55
I mean, yes, he's a phenomenal athlete.
22:57
I mean, I think he's similar to Hatfield, right?
23:01
Similar stature, moves well.
23:04
And if I could have picked two...
23:07
15th he would have definitely been in there i just and i'm like totally regretting now ken is asking i didn't understand what the top 10 was for literally it's what you think the top 10 placement is going to be in the final so more than just your one two three you're supposed to pick out to your 10 but you can pick your favorites that's fine people you like that's fine ken
23:26
uh peter um i'm assuming you're talking about farlo as well it looks like he's been working on his metabolic conditioning more so than his list i think that's perfect we've said that about um tutor also like although farlo is fit like did you i mean the rope climb one the re redo alpaca he freaking crushed that workout so like he's fit already but
23:54
Yeah.
23:54
You may be right.
23:55
He may just continue to be working on that cycling stuff.
23:58
Maybe.
23:58
I don't know.
24:00
Like Jack Rosema.
24:02
He just graduated from college.
24:05
So now he, he can focus more on his, his training because he's not going to school anymore.
24:11
Yeah.
24:11
Yeah.
24:12
Like that.
24:13
Those are big deals.
24:15
Yeah.
24:16
Yeah.
24:17
Right.
24:17
Plus he has a pretty incredible training partner.
24:20
He does have a good training partner.
24:21
I picked him to do well.
24:23
So I'm, I'm rooting for him this weekend.
24:25
I did put him in my top 10.
24:28
Okay.
24:28
So, so yeah, on snatches, that was kind of all I, uh, uh, Dean, my Danielle Brandon impressed me with her snatch.
24:37
She was finished higher than I expected.
24:40
Yeah.
24:41
Rebecca Fusile, I know they said it on the broadcast.
24:44
You can tell she's getting stronger.
24:46
And that's all.
24:49
That was awesome.
24:51
Yep.
24:51
So just to go down the leaderboard a little bit.
24:54
So on the snatch, it was Guy first, Brent Fikowski second, Jack Rosema third, Jack Farlow fourth,
25:05
Kaelian Ribeiro de Souza, who had a hard time getting off the floor at the end of the day.
25:13
I saw.
25:15
Whatever happened there.
25:16
And then our guy CJ Gerald in sixth place.
25:21
Yep.
25:22
Yep.
25:23
So, and on the women's side...
25:27
We had Julia Hannaford in first, Danny Spiegel in second, Olivia Kerstetter in third, Gabby Magawa in fourth, and Bergros Bjorndotter in fifth.
25:41
That's the teen.
25:42
I believe she's only 17.
25:44
Right.
25:46
Do you remember when you first heard that name?
25:48
Hmm.
25:54
no should i she trained at jess's uh box before the games that's right yes yes yep so jess had the inside scoop on her she did before the games yeah so that's pretty cool it was cool seeing her up there
26:22
All right, so we go to event number two.
26:24
And this was changed.
26:29
It was going to be parallette dips with a traverse.
26:35
Yes.
26:35
So it was going to be like seven dips, traverse, seven dips, traverse.
26:40
And bar muscle-ups.
26:42
And bar muscle-ups, which got taken out.
26:46
And what was put in its place?
26:48
Nothing?
26:48
Bar-facing burpee.
26:50
Okay.
26:51
Okay.
26:52
so that whole that back half was like quite different yeah longer i mean those those far-facing burpees take longer than a bar muscle up so i'll uh i'll let you go first on your impressions unless you just want me to do um i didn't hate this one um however so with the overall change for the whole day
27:22
I didn't hate this one.
27:24
Had had deja vu remained the same with with chest of our pull ups, I would have been disappointed to lose the most the bar muscle ups here.
27:34
Not that I mean, that's a lot of bar bar facing burpees, which are going to fatigue you in a similar way.
27:38
I just that little bit of pulling and grip and on the bar for those for those bars.
27:45
bar muscle ups i would have liked to seen that impact the uh chest of bars but that didn't really matter anyway so i think the change in this workout was okay it was just a but it was quite honestly the whole thing was basically a bar facing burpee workout it was bar facing burpee speed and this had the deadlifts in it too right oh yes because it went um dips deadlift front squat bar facing burpee so
28:17
Let me start with the positive.
28:20
Ariel and Colton killed it.
28:23
They did.
28:23
As expected.
28:25
If you put parallel bars in a competition, Ariel Lowen is probably going to win it.
28:32
Colton, like he stood there waiting for the next person to finish for like a good 30 seconds.
28:42
Even though Pat's old, he looked really good on that too.
28:45
Before this got changed, I actually had Pat as my pick.
28:51
Maybe Colton probably would have still won it.
28:56
Colton's barbell cycling speed to Pat is just quicker because of range of motion.
29:02
Once it got changed, I had to pick Colton.
29:07
I picked Colton once with the change for sure, but Pat did great.
29:14
I had Colton before the change because his grip strength to hang on to a bar is just amazing.
29:23
And so it ended up being Colton, Pat, and then Austin Hatfield.
29:29
That's where he kind of got to show himself a little bit.
29:32
So that was pretty cool.
29:35
My complaint is...
29:39
And again, it's weather related.
29:41
You have to change things.
29:43
It is, but this always had dips in it and it always had deadlifts in it.
29:49
Yeah.
29:50
And those two are the notoriously horrible for judgment.
29:55
Agreed.
29:55
I, yes, this whole, yes.
29:58
The almost the whole day was call someone out.
30:02
But that girl, I'm trying to find her name, Elizabeth Weishart.
30:10
Wishart.
30:13
Her dips?
30:15
Dips and her deadlifts, and then we'll get to the next event, too.
30:20
Yeah.
30:21
Atrocious.
30:24
Her...
30:25
Her elbows never moved.
30:27
Her upper body just kept swinging.
30:29
She just did the little rock and lean?
30:32
The pecking chicken.
30:36
I missed her dips.
30:39
I was trying to go back and re-watch that event.
30:43
When the camera caught her, you could tell they're like, get off of her.
30:48
We don't want to highlight that.
30:51
That's rare.
30:52
Sometimes they leave it on the worst, and you're like, really?
30:54
That's what you're going to show?
30:57
Oh, it was so bad.
30:59
Then the deadlifts, and this was across the board.
31:03
If the judges are going to let you get away with it, getting the shoulders behind the bar isn't happening.
31:09
It's the Josh Bridges deadlift for the entire freaking line of athletes, and it looks terrible.
31:20
Agreed.
31:23
It looks terrible.
31:25
So one, it takes down the skill from a bar muscle to a burpee.
31:34
You have these two elements in there that are notorious for having people look bad.
31:40
And it just looked bad.
31:41
It was really hard for me to not get upset.
31:49
Yeah, I agree.
31:50
I had, I had frustrations with this one too.
31:52
I think the dips went by quick enough and the deadlifts that I like, it was whatever.
31:57
And I honestly don't think it impacted the workout too much, except for the, there was like three girls who clearly struggled with wrapping out dips.
32:06
So we're so far behind that there was no shot.
32:07
But other than that, everyone did what they were going to do.
32:10
And I think everyone kind of got the same, well, maybe other than Wishart, but yeah,
32:16
For me, it was the bar facing burpees that like were frustrating the heck out of me.
32:22
And probably only because like we like with legends, like they were very vocal about what they were going to call and what not to do.
32:32
And like I was watching it.
32:36
There were most people did a great job with them, but like there were several doing that quick thing.
32:41
still sideways to the bar and going right over like not actually getting bar facing yeah and they were no repping burpees which shocked me today or chess not getting to the ground yeah and there was a couple for the bar not being bar facing oh i didn't see any of that that's what i was waiting for i'm like how are you letting this slide
33:09
I think, I think Fikowski maybe got one.
33:12
Wow.
33:14
Yeah.
33:17
Um, but yeah, so overall it was, it was a hard event to watch because it did get scaled down.
33:26
Um, yeah.
33:29
So it's funny because I had so much FOMO last night.
33:33
I wanted to be in Miami to cover this.
33:37
And then I wake up this morning and it's pouring down rain.
33:41
And I'm like, you know what?
33:43
It's not so bad just to watch this on TV.
33:46
Absolutely not.
33:47
Yeah.
33:48
I watching it all day.
33:49
I was like, I'm glad I'm not there.
33:52
I'm glad I'm not competing.
33:53
I'm glad I'm not dealing with any of this.
33:55
Like,
33:57
Yeah.
33:59
And this one wasn't even as boring as the next one.
34:02
Oh, it was so atrocious.
34:07
So then we go to event three.
34:08
I didn't even put notes in on this one.
34:11
The last thing I watched of the day, Ricky and CJ were awesome.
34:24
um sam made a nice comeback uh but sam quant sam quant one of my favorites all-time people to talk to just killed it looked like the old sam quant he's looked like the old same quant all day i thought he would lift more but other than that he's
34:54
Yeah.
34:55
Yeah.
34:56
I think he's doing well.
34:57
He did.
34:57
He looked really good in this workout.
35:01
Cool, calm, collected.
35:05
So, um, so he won app.
35:10
I had Emily Rolfe mistake on the women's side.
35:14
Okay.
35:15
For the reps or for the time.
35:19
Cause I totally like you had to pick both.
35:23
Yeah, it was two different scores.
35:27
So you left one blank?
35:29
Probably.
35:30
Oh, no.
35:32
Yeah, part one.
35:34
So there were two 50-point workouts.
35:36
Yeah.
35:39
Yeah, and you had to pick.
35:42
You just thought if you picked.
35:44
Maybe you put the same person in twice.
35:48
And that's, I mean, really, that's probably the smart play.
35:55
Can't even find the app right now.
36:01
They changed the color.
36:09
I messed up.
36:14
I wondered why I was beating you by so much.
36:17
Yeah.
36:20
Oh, I'm so bad at the shot color one.
36:23
Cause I'm so like with trying to get everything organized that I just, I make stupid mistakes.
36:30
Yeah.
36:31
I essentially picked everything yesterday just to like not deal with it.
36:35
And that's where I get frustrated with the changes.
36:37
Cause I just kind of want to be done with it.
36:38
And that's like, Ken, that's why I like the top 10.
36:42
Except for the fact, like if somebody withdraws or something like stuff like that sort of sucks, you can't do anything about it.
36:46
But like, I would rather just pick at the beginning of the weekend and not deal with anything.
36:51
And my picks are in there.
36:52
I hate the changes.
36:53
Yeah.
36:55
I picked, I picked all of them this morning.
36:59
Okay.
37:01
And I knew there were three events.
37:03
And so I picked three events.
37:07
That makes sense.
37:08
Yep.
37:08
But there we go.
37:10
Oh, well.
37:11
Um, I, yeah, I picked, I had picked Emma and Ariel, but like, I should have flopped them.
37:18
Like I should have picked, I doesn't matter.
37:20
I just, I, I should have really picked them up for both of course.
37:23
But, um, I, for some reason I was like, Oh, Ariel will hold on and she'll, she'll smash the third part.
37:30
That didn't happen.
37:32
Yeah.
37:32
I, um, I picked Ricky.
37:37
Yep.
37:37
I picked Ricky for the time.
37:38
Mm-hmm.
37:40
I picked cold reps.
37:42
That's the only one I did.
37:45
So there.
37:46
But oh well, we don't have to linger on that anymore.
37:49
The thing that frustrated me with this one is strict pull-ups.
37:57
There were so many bad reps.
38:00
So many.
38:01
And some of the best athletes that did well were doing good reps.
38:08
Yes.
38:08
Because...
38:12
And I saw what Hiller put up about people kipping when they shouldn't have been.
38:18
But man, nobody... I shouldn't say nobody.
38:22
There were a lot of people not dropping to full extension.
38:27
Yeah.
38:27
So I noticed that with some of the men doing multiple reps in their chin-up.
38:32
They'd get to here because it can be hard when you're fully engaged there.
38:38
The chin-ups...
38:41
It was worse on the women's side.
38:41
I must, I, I don't know.
38:47
I didn't do it over grip and just like not bouncing it back up.
38:55
And my girl, Elizabeth Wishart was one of those.
38:59
So I was trying to find her cause I saw your notes.
39:02
I didn't realize, I assumed you were talking about the strict pull-ups.
39:06
And then you said something about the depth, so I was like, oh, good.
39:08
Because I saw her do some strict pull-ups, and they looked perfectly fine to me.
39:15
But maybe there was more.
39:18
Okay.
39:19
I only saw her first round, her, like, first few, and those looked fine.
39:26
And maybe those were fine, and maybe it was, like, round two or three that, like,
39:31
it was not so fine for me.
39:34
For me, I think it was, um, Katie canning was quick kipping quite noticeably.
39:40
Those were like the worst ones that I saw.
39:45
And then see some kipping.
39:49
Um, but I re I really didn't like, I saw Rebecca medicine, her, for me, her, she shouldn't have had a mat.
40:00
so she was able to just like grab the bar and stand there and she was able to like basically push off with her toes into the pull-up and i feel like i essentially feel like they should have removed the mat if you could touch the bar and you had to jump your way up there and show full extension before you could start moving i did see some no reps for that now i don't know if rebecca got no wrapped but i did see some no reps of people pushing off the floor
40:29
Um, Kenneth says I saw someone doing chin-ups instead of pull-ups that was allowed.
40:36
Yep.
40:36
You can use any grip on the bar.
40:39
You could use over, you could use under, or you could even switch grip.
40:45
They're used to not kipping Ken.
40:47
Trust me.
40:48
That's a, that's like a daily warmup thing.
40:51
Like you're going to do some strict pull-ups.
40:56
I did like how Hiller said, tell them they have to keep their toes in front of the, the rig or the bar or the whole thing.
41:06
Yeah.
41:08
Um, although I saw people that are kind of in that position that would then like almost bring their knees up.
41:14
So like, that's where you were getting the kit, but I agree.
41:18
Like for the most part, I'd rather see that than the letting the feet get behind.
41:22
Cause that's yeah.
41:23
Yeah.
41:27
Um, so on that one, I think we skipped the second event.
41:32
No, we, no, we didn't.
41:33
We talked about second event.
41:35
We didn't do the leaderboard though.
41:37
Oh, you said who was one, two, three or whatever in the men.
41:41
Yeah.
41:41
On the women's side, it was on two court court to Dito was Ariel, Emma, Rebecca, Carrie, Rebecca Fusile, Gabby McGowan, Danielle Brandon.
41:53
Yep.
41:55
On Deja Vu Part 1, Emma Carey, Ariel Loewen, Gabby Magawa, Rebecca Vitteson, Danielle Brandon.
42:04
Sounds like Deja Vu.
42:08
And then on Deja Vu B, we had Emma Carey, Danielle Brandon, Abby Domet, Fi Sagafi, and Andra Moistus.
42:21
Yeah, she crushed it out of that early heat.
42:24
Crushed it.
42:26
On the men's side, Gortadito was Colton, Vellner, and Gerrard, as we said.
42:32
Hatfield and Quant.
42:34
Actually, Gerrard beat Hatfield.
42:36
Item is third.
42:38
That was one of my notes on here because I feel like they didn't – or maybe that was for number – for Deja Vu.
42:48
I feel like they didn't show that end.
42:52
Were you not – I can't believe you didn't talk about this –
42:55
There was no finish for freaking Gortadito.
43:01
Yeah.
43:02
So apparently, we'll get into that after this.
43:05
Okay.
43:06
Samquant in fifth on Gortadito.
43:09
Deja Vu won.
43:10
We had Ricky, CJ Gerald second, Samquant third, Fikowski fourth, and Vellner fifth on Deja Vu B.
43:25
no drake lewis yes one yep spencer pancheck two i don't know that they don't have the scores in then they still only have so they don't have the men's final heat in yet they must be going out reviewing that all the scores are in you see you see like colton and ricky and where are they
43:56
So Ricky is in fifth.
44:01
Oh, wow.
44:03
That's crazy.
44:05
Yeah, they have Drake Lewis, Spencer Pancheck, Sam Quant, Jack Farlow, Ricky Garrard.
44:11
I swear to God, Sam Quant killed Spencer Pancheck.
44:17
I only saw a very brief moment of Spencer, and he did not look like he was moving quickly at those strict pull-ups.
44:25
Yeah.
44:25
So that can't be right.
44:27
Maybe when they have four 42.
44:30
Yeah, no.
44:37
And the next time is five 49.
44:41
Which I believe that's correct.
44:44
Five 49.
44:45
Who was that?
44:47
That's Spencer.
44:48
Quant was five 53.
44:49
Hmm.
44:55
Yeah, we'll wait and see on that one because I think Holly hasn't posted it because of this.
45:03
So there we go.
45:06
So yeah, about the finishes.
45:08
You know me and my finishes.
45:10
I always go on and on about my finishes.
45:14
Apparently, at Wadapalooza...
45:18
who is working with the PFAA, they came to a decision because of the close quarters of the floor that it would be safer not to sprint to the end.
45:31
Yeah.
45:35
I hate that.
45:36
I know.
45:38
Quit padding up.
45:41
Yeah.
45:41
Yeah.
45:45
What a big crash mat on that wall.
45:47
And then you sprint and Bush.
45:52
Yep.
45:54
Yeah.
45:55
A little frustrated with that.
45:56
I mean, most of the athletes did it like went to their pad pad anyway, but, and luckily there weren't any like super tight races.
46:16
i saw today like super tight yeah but it just racists should have a finish line they just should and i hate it i agree i know i was frustrated with it so there
46:39
I don't want to go off on another riff on it or rant.
46:44
Um, but there, yeah, I just, when I heard that today, I was like, are you kidding me?
46:51
That's like setting us back because from you need spectators to enjoy the sport.
46:57
Yep.
46:57
And if the spectator doesn't know who wins, then why are they going to watch?
47:04
So, yeah, I can't imagine even live.
47:06
It was,
47:08
all that exciting to watch.
47:09
And it was pretty rough on TV and just, yeah, the movements were not exciting.
47:15
I saw a lot of complaints about strict pull-ups.
47:17
I mean, fans were not, we're not digging it.
47:23
So you've never been correct.
47:27
No.
47:28
So because of the way, like you're elevated above the floor and it's kind of like a deep down in, you can't see the finish anyway.
47:35
Yeah.
47:37
Unless you're on like the backside or the side.
47:40
Like if you're on the front, it's so steep down to there and everybody stands up.
47:46
You can't, because of the angle, you can't see who finishes anyway.
47:50
I see.
47:53
That's why they left him out on the floor.
47:57
I guess.
47:58
I mean, thankfully everybody did kind of finish anyway.
48:01
Yeah.
48:02
Yeah.
48:06
So just to kind of wrap up today, on the women's side, Gabby McGowan sits in first place with 270 points.
48:13
Emma Carey in second with 264, only six points behind.
48:18
Danielle Brandon at 259.5.
48:19
So she is 10.5 points out.
48:21
Rebecca Finneson at 237.
48:22
Ariel Lowen at 220.5.
48:33
And here's a couple surprises.
48:35
Sixth place, Abigail Domet.
48:38
Not that big of a surprise.
48:40
Seventh place, Rebecca Fusile.
48:46
Eighth place, Sydney Wells.
48:48
Interesting.
48:50
Ninth place, Jessica Androzik.
48:56
I can see that.
48:58
She's a lot like Colton.
49:00
And so if events are going to be good for him, they're going to be good for her.
49:08
And then I'm guessing the men's is still screwed up.
49:11
Yeah.
49:15
But what they have is Ricky in first, Vellner in second, Farlow in third, Quant in fourth, Fikowski in fifth, C.J.
49:28
Gerald in sixth, Colton Mertens in seventh, Rosema in eighth, Sam Cornier in ninth, and Austin Hatfield in tenth.
49:41
Yeah, not quite what my top 10 looks like, but good for them.
49:46
So what do you think about Roman in 14th place?
49:57
It doesn't.
49:59
Yeah, I've never really been on the Roman train.
50:04
Yeah.
50:04
I mean, there's just other people I would, you know, I'd much rather like see Pat and even Brent and especially these new guys.
50:13
I'd much rather see Austin Rosemont, like step in.
50:18
And I don't know.
50:19
I just like the, it's just a weird hype around him.
50:25
That I just.
50:26
Any fireworks or fire spinners yet this year.
50:29
Did you see the rain Kenneth?
50:33
It's hard to light something on fire in a torrential downpour.
50:39
That was like Saturday night, right?
50:41
Yeah, we had wall balls.
50:42
That was the chasing waterfall.
50:47
Waterfalls.
50:51
Yeah.
50:51
All right.
50:53
What else do we have in the notes?
50:56
I did have one other thing.
50:57
I talked about, yeah, we talked about judging seeding.
51:02
I did not see any more seating than there was last year.
51:08
I was looking to see if they went up any higher.
51:11
They did not at Flagler.
51:14
Now maybe they're, they're going to a Bayside.
51:18
Yeah.
51:19
And Tina Hill.
51:21
So there is no way to add more to that.
51:26
Cause there were, wasn't there talk that they did add.
51:30
Well, did they sell more tickets?
51:34
I don't know.
51:35
The story was, I had seating, and then they added this two tier ticketing system.
51:45
I will be curious to hear the feedback on that, especially after Saturday and Sunday, because that's when it's going to be full.
51:51
And we're going to know if people got into their seats or not.
51:56
What's the is the weather supposed to shape up for the rest of the weekend?
52:01
Yeah, I, so I did my weight loss show with Cheryl today.
52:03
She's there live and she said it's supposed to be sunny the rest of the weekend.
52:07
That's good.
52:09
But it's Florida.
52:16
So the last thing I have about what a Palooza is the broadcast, since that's what we had, we're stuck with, um, any thoughts on the broadcast?
52:31
I have not been a fan at all reasons oh man I don't personal reasons out of the commenting has been not it for me and just video of the floor like I said I feel like the ticker at the top is either not working or not there so like figure it out what you're going to do
53:01
um yeah i don't know the just the camera work in general same old like i'd rather just see an out angle of the floor so i can i can figure out the race because you're doing a terrible job of commenting it they're not even like talking about the race on the floor they're not giving us anything to try to watch a little bit here and there certain certain events certain heats but like
53:28
So my guess is they're doing the broadcast, not from the stadium.
53:36
That's what I'm getting.
53:37
Cause I think they're seeing what we're seeing and they like go to say something and then they're like, Oh, they went here.
53:42
What the heck?
53:43
Um, and so I'm sure they're just as frustrated.
53:45
Like I, I kind of can feel that.
53:48
Um, but yeah, it's just not, it's not great.
53:52
So here's, here's a couple constructive pieces of criticism.
53:58
One, I will tell you, that floor is so freaking wide, there's no way to get a wide shot where you'll be satisfied.
54:06
But it doesn't mean you can't go like three wide, four wide maybe, get a little bit more of that.
54:17
But here's a constructive reason.
54:20
They're not doing any intros of who's in what lane when they start.
54:25
Right.
54:26
Unless you know exactly what your athlete that you're looking for looks like, good luck finding them.
54:32
Yeah.
54:36
And that would have been so easy on the lift.
54:39
In the front three lanes, we have...
54:42
ed bill and john yep in the back four three lanes we have x y and z right and it was that would have been so simple because they actually did give us a wide shot at tina hills and i did like that but i didn't know who was there because they were tiny but i could see if they made their lift if you just told me who that's it i know tell me who
55:14
In broadcasts in the past, they would give you the heat lane assignments.
55:20
As they're walking out, they try to announce it.
55:25
Or announce it verbally.
55:31
It was so bad.
55:31
I didn't even know who was in the heat.
55:33
I don't know who's in what heat and
55:40
And it would be over and they're like, oh, yeah, Spencer Pancheck finished third.
55:46
I never saw him the entire heat.
55:48
Right.
55:50
Again, it goes back to who they feel like putting on camera for whatever reason.
55:54
And then all of a sudden, like, I swear Ricky was, like, pretty far up there in the end of Deja Vu.
56:03
And then I don't even know what happened.
56:07
Yep.
56:09
Because he was slow off the rower.
56:12
Every time he was slow off the rower.
56:14
So then they would go with all the other people.
56:17
And then he would kill the pull-ups and get out there.
56:22
And then you lose them.
56:24
Yep.
56:27
Yeah, it was like, I don't think I saw Rebecca Fusile.
56:31
And she did great in the last two events.
56:36
And I never saw her once.
56:39
Yeah, I caught her.
56:40
I mean, I caught her in one little bit of out shot.
56:45
Yeah, there was one thing where they said, well, there's Stacey Larum, and they're talking about her.
56:50
And then like, oh, yeah, that's Rebecca Fuseli, very beside her.
56:55
Yeah.
56:58
Yeah.
56:59
Yeah.
57:01
I've never done play by play.
57:05
But I think that it...
57:08
It didn't feel well researched.
57:11
Agreed.
57:16
And I don't know whose responsibility that is in a broadcast.
57:22
I personally really like, I heard some comments about Brian earlier.
57:26
Um, but I feel like Brian does a good job of announcing more play by play on the floor.
57:33
He didn't even get to talk for events two and three, did he?
57:37
He only talked for the snatch.
57:40
Correct.
57:41
No.
57:42
He did the first part of... He might have done the Latin America Cup on two.
57:48
Yes.
57:49
I do think that's correct.
57:50
He did a little bit of the NBA on two.
57:54
I would have liked to seen more of him or heard more of him.
58:00
The shiz says no DB coverage.
58:03
There really wasn't.
58:04
I thought, I don't know, on Deja Vu box jumps, they did kind of go into her.
58:12
She was yelling at her judge or trying to figure out what he was saying.
58:15
I don't know what was going on, but they zoomed in on her.
58:18
I saw her quite a bit.
58:22
Okay.
58:23
I don't remember that, but I'll trust you.
58:27
And I'm not the biggest DB fan in the world.
58:29
I mean, I like her.
58:31
I just...
58:33
Yeah.
58:35
I'm better friends with other people that I was trying to see.
58:38
Right.
58:40
So, so yeah.
58:43
Okay.
58:46
Yeah.
58:47
I will leave that at that at the broadcast.
58:49
Cause I don't want to, I know I don't want, I don't want to burn bridges.
58:53
Agreed.
58:57
What I will,
58:59
move on to is a couple of big things happened this week.
59:02
Yeah.
59:03
And that is a friend of mine poked a bear and now she has a coach for a year.
59:11
Oh, so Athena Perez.
59:17
Oh yeah.
59:17
Yeah.
59:18
She did.
59:19
She poked a bat.
59:21
She poked a bat and
59:26
And she said on the PRS all day podcast that she was really just putting it out there as a joke, half serious, half joking, didn't think anybody would respond.
59:44
And now she's committed to backing up her words for the next year.
59:51
I think it's going to be awesome.
59:55
I do too.
59:56
Either things are going to change for her and improve or Hiller's going to learn something that is much more difficult and overcome than just some of the stuff.
1:00:12
It's not just this easy to just do this.
1:00:14
So I'm super curious to see what comes of this.
1:00:18
I am too.
1:00:20
I messaged her
1:00:23
the day she made the post before there was before there was the interaction between the two of them and she was scared yeah after she hit send but then I think this is good for her I think it's good for him I think it's training someone that's not typical who has been through a lot of shit in their lives and
1:00:54
who's had some serious medical conditions.
1:00:58
And it's going to be good for both of them.
1:01:04
I'm excited.
1:01:05
There should be great content out of it.
1:01:09
It'll be good for the community.
1:01:12
Yeah.
1:01:14
Yeah, I met Athena through...
1:01:21
can't remember his last name, Mike, who filmed my documentary for CrossFit because he had filmed hers and he thought we should connect.
1:01:33
So we did.
1:01:34
And it was a great friendship.
1:01:37
And I've said this before.
1:01:38
The day my dad died, Athena talked me home.
1:01:45
And because of that, she'll always mean the world to me.
1:01:49
And, um, and I want her to succeed.
1:01:52
I want this to work so bad.
1:01:54
And someone who has had the struggle she's had, not as the weight loss struggles that she's had, she's had way worse struggles than that, but that I just, I want the best for her and I want her to succeed more than anything.
1:02:11
And I, I hope this, this is that ticket.
1:02:18
And she said on PRS all day that she, her goal is not a number.
1:02:22
Her goal is to be the first 300 pound weight loss person in CrossFit.
1:02:31
Wow.
1:02:31
And that would be pretty freaking awesome.
1:02:38
That's insane.
1:02:41
Yeah.
1:02:45
So I'm super stoked for that.
1:02:48
Probably more than anything else, like games related.
1:02:53
I'm really excited to see this content.
1:02:55
I am too.
1:02:59
And if you've never read Athena's book, my God, it is amazing.
1:03:05
You have to go check that out.
1:03:06
It's called Lifting the Weight.
1:03:08
It is so good.
1:03:10
Okay.
1:03:11
And I think it's available on audio too.
1:03:13
Okay.
1:03:14
And I think he reads it to you.
1:03:16
Oh, that's awesome.
1:03:18
Yeah.
1:03:21
So go check that out.
1:03:24
Last thing is, this was yours.
1:03:25
I'm going to leave it to you.
1:03:28
The open signup started this week.
1:03:31
Yeah.
1:03:32
You noticed something.
1:03:35
Well, I didn't even... I mean, I didn't know that open sign-up started on Tuesday.
1:03:41
I happily caught Corey Leonard's story, and I was like, oh, open sign-ups.
1:03:46
And then I did get an alert through the app yesterday, but that was the next day after it had already signed up.
1:03:55
I just thought there'd be way more media around that.
1:03:57
I don't know.
1:03:59
Are they...
1:04:00
Are they promoting it like with in conjunction with Wadapalooza at all?
1:04:04
Is there like talk about sign up for the open?
1:04:07
Well, I would think that like, well, I know like Wadapalooza is not a licensed event.
1:04:12
Oh, okay.
1:04:14
I don't know if that makes things tricky, but I, I would think that CrossFit would pay for a commercial during Wadapalooza.
1:04:21
You think?
1:04:23
you know, to run for people to see.
1:04:28
So I, as I was scrolling through Instagram just to see if there's anything new before we came on and I did notice that they did post something.
1:04:40
Now I'm trying to go back and find it.
1:04:43
Yes.
1:04:43
Ken, if you go to your story, there's a, and just type in CrossFit games, there is an app.
1:04:48
And I mean, that's,
1:04:51
It'll alert you with things throughout the year.
1:04:55
The logo is updated with the new logo, correct?
1:04:59
Yep.
1:05:00
So now I have that ugly thing on my page.
1:05:04
So this just came out.
1:05:06
I'm going to share my screen.
1:05:12
From CrossFit Games and CrossFit.
1:05:17
An Instagram post.
1:05:17
Okay.
1:05:19
Something.
1:05:20
It is something.
1:05:23
This came out... Doesn't it usually say how long ago?
1:05:31
Yeah, does it say hours?
1:05:32
It doesn't say anything.
1:05:35
Weird.
1:05:43
Yeah.
1:05:44
Okay, Ken says they are advertising the open shirt at Wadapooza.
1:05:52
So, I mean, that in itself is an advertisement for the open.
1:05:58
So, yeah, that was the new thing that I kind of wanted to.
1:06:02
Oh, it's a Wadapalooza open shirt.
1:06:04
That's different than what is being offered through the signups.
1:06:10
Yeah.
1:06:10
I feel like for years people have said there should be a shirt offered with the open.
1:06:15
There used to be.
1:06:16
Yeah.
1:06:17
Yeah.
1:06:21
When I first opened in 2013, like 13, 14, 15, I think there was a shirt.
1:06:29
Heck, it might even went longer than that because... It might have gone longer than that.
1:06:34
Yeah.
1:06:35
I don't think it went into... I don't think it was... They had one in 17, but I could be wrong.
1:06:43
They did have one in 17 because we had an open announcement here.
1:06:47
At Rogue.
1:06:49
That I went to.
1:06:50
And they had the shirt there for sale.
1:06:56
But I think that was the last year.
1:06:57
Like Reebok.
1:06:59
Was the apparel for CrossFit.
1:07:02
And in 18.
1:07:03
They opened that CrossFit store.
1:07:05
Yes.
1:07:09
And then the Noble fiasco.
1:07:12
Yeah.
1:07:13
Well we got a new shirt this year.
1:07:16
There we go.
1:07:17
I don't hate it.
1:07:19
I don't hate it either, but I don't know.
1:07:24
Travis came out with his own version and I think I love Travis's.
1:07:29
So Vindicate has some options.
1:07:32
I love the idea behind Travis's, but I don't, I'm not a big like octopus guy or squid or whatever.
1:07:40
Yeah.
1:07:43
So that was training think tanks.
1:07:45
Like,
1:07:47
they do an animal of the year and that was it last year.
1:07:50
So I feel like I have a lot of stuff that has it on it.
1:07:52
And I love the idea behind like, it's got the eight arms and it's got a different thing in every arm and it's ready for anything.
1:07:57
Like, I think it's brilliant.
1:08:05
Yeah.
1:08:06
So I think, I think with anything artistic, you're going to have people who love it and you're going to have people that hate it.
1:08:15
Of course.
1:08:19
So, you know, yeah, there's, Hey, there's options for anybody at this point.
1:08:26
So that's great.
1:08:27
Yeah.
1:08:29
I like neither one of them for me personally is something that I would like run out and buy.
1:08:37
Like I would, I'm not super excited about either one, but I don't hate either one either.
1:08:42
Like I think good.
1:08:44
And if you like them, go get yours and yeah.
1:08:52
My wife says I have too many CrossFit shirts anyway.
1:08:55
Yeah, that's kind of all I have.
1:08:59
Yeah.
1:09:03
So there it is.
1:09:05
Well, last thing I had on there, we had an announcement.
1:09:09
I don't even know if it's an announcement for the teens.
1:09:14
i mean this was the most non-announcement announcement that i've seen but at least they put out a post for them and gave them some something and said hey like i don't know why in conjunction with this post the masters didn't get something similar unless they truly don't know if they're going to be like it just was super general shortly following the games will be the team which i feel like the team the teams pretty much knew
1:09:44
that they probably are going to have the exact same thing they've had the last three years at Pitt Fitness.
1:09:51
It's always been Labor Day weekend, a few weekends after the games.
1:09:57
It seemed to work good in the schedule.
1:10:00
I would have thought nothing would have changed with Pitt, and they didn't need a whole lot of an announcement.
1:10:08
But yeah, they get an announcement, and we still have no clue.
1:10:12
I think the Pitt did it on their own.
1:10:15
Oh, that was maybe a good thing.
1:10:20
I mean, people want something out there.
1:10:24
The Instagram post was done by Brock Yost, who is the event director.
1:10:29
Yep.
1:10:30
They did a podcast on our channel Tuesday afternoon where they went through.
1:10:39
And I think they needed to let like the college age kids know that they're going to have something for them.
1:10:45
And that they're going to have something for the JV, but it's just going to be like before the actual games.
1:10:51
Right.
1:10:52
Like the day before.
1:10:54
Yep.
1:10:55
Yeah.
1:10:56
The post made sense to me.
1:10:58
That's what they want.
1:10:59
I think where they were trying to get out is, Hey, you're not going to be forgotten in this whole thing, but the open signups are here and you have to go through the open.
1:11:10
If even if you're college age or JV, our way of getting you here is through the open.
1:11:17
Right.
1:11:19
So I think they were timing it up with the open opening, the open registration opening up and trying to let them know, even though they didn't have, they just said it's going to be held in three rivers, Michigan or three.
1:11:32
Is that what it's called?
1:11:34
Yep.
1:11:35
Three rivers, Michigan.
1:11:36
And that it's shortly after the games because they, they can't tell them anything else, but they needed to tell that other group that you're still going to have something.
1:11:48
as opposed to like legends and said we're still gonna have the community event in december you just don't the rest of you don't know when we're doing when we're anything about yours i feel like the opposite is true of pit like kind of like we pretty sure when pit happens and but they aren't going to have two separate events they're just taking that one event adding a day and then making it the games
1:12:18
legend said next december in tempe there's going to be a legends community event correct already i don't have to say that so now now we're just waiting for the date and time of the actual games yes which seems to be
1:12:40
it does seem counterintuitive to open, open registration and not be able to tell your athletes where the end of the road is for them.
1:12:53
Absolutely.
1:12:55
But to do the end of the road, you got to sign up here, even though we don't know what this is.
1:13:02
Yeah.
1:13:03
Or it could be a completely cross prohibitive place that like, I have no shot of going to.
1:13:13
No information.
1:13:15
Yes, Lana.
1:13:17
Stephanie and Brock do a great job of informing their group about everything coming out for all of their divisions.
1:13:26
They really do.
1:13:29
And I'm proud that they are on our channel as a podcast.
1:13:34
I love working with them.
1:13:41
So still upset that you don't know where you're going.
1:13:45
Yes.
1:13:46
Anything like they're trying to sell the tickets to the games and masters have no clue.
1:13:52
Like how, like, Hey, adaptives are in San Antonio.
1:14:00
God, I hope we're not in San Antonio.
1:14:05
I don't think you're in San Antonio, but I don't think you're going to like where you are.
1:14:19
I am pretty sure it's going to be West coast.
1:14:24
Yeah.
1:14:24
That makes no sense.
1:14:26
You have the teens kind of East-ish you have the game central, you have adaptive central need something out West.
1:14:39
That is not central.
1:14:42
That's southwest.
1:14:45
No.
1:14:45
That is not central.
1:14:47
That is middle of the states.
1:14:49
No, it's still kind of west.
1:14:51
South central.
1:14:53
We'd be better off with Florida.
1:14:57
That's everything on the east.
1:14:59
It's easier for... They should have talked to Madison about keeping masters there.
1:15:11
just want to be able to drive i i just don't want it across the country or or the most expensive place that they could travel to like california is the last place they should go it is the most expensive place to bring people to
1:15:39
Well, just think of the opportunity of the nice hotel we could stay in again.
1:15:43
Yeah.
1:15:49
Rogue HQ would be great.
1:15:51
Well, you mean Ohio Rogue or Texas Rogue?
1:15:56
There is one HQ.
1:15:58
That's Ohio.
1:15:59
They're satellites.
1:16:00
Yeah.
1:16:01
Yeah.
1:16:02
Okay.
1:16:02
Yeah.
1:16:02
I'm down.
1:16:07
I don't know where you do it at Rogue HQ.
1:16:12
They keep expanding, so there's no land left.
1:16:18
But we have some nice facilities in town.
1:16:24
We have a brand new soccer stadium right beside a brand new baseball stadium right beside an NHL hockey arena.
1:16:34
I'd be curious what they could have talked Madison into keeping that stadium.
1:16:43
Madison's got to be bad to lose it.
1:16:48
Tired of Madison.
1:16:51
Yeah, I can see that.
1:16:53
It'll be nice to have a different venue in general.
1:16:59
It's not easy to get something to eat after
1:17:02
It's just not easy.
1:17:04
Oh, I feel like Madison's pretty easy.
1:17:09
Then why did we only eat at one burger joint?
1:17:13
Wow, because we were busy.
1:17:15
I have never had that issue at the games in the past.
1:17:20
I've had something different every night.
1:17:24
Ken, I totally agree.
1:17:26
My least favorite state.
1:17:31
All right.
1:17:31
Well, I think we are diving into... Yeah.
1:17:46
I'm back.
1:17:47
So...
1:17:51
I was super excited.
1:17:52
I'm going to leave on this note.
1:17:55
My wife says to me last weekend, Hey, do you want to watch a show?
1:18:00
Like let's pick up, you know, nothing's new on football's over.
1:18:04
And I said, sure.
1:18:08
So she puts on Reacher on from prime video.
1:18:13
Oh, M G. Are you watching from season one?
1:18:18
correct yeah so we've been we've been season one well we just watched the finale right before the show okay now you're gonna be kicking yourself because like eric we're on season two so now now we gotta wait every friday night to watch the new episode i hate and i hate being like i'm so used to
1:18:40
Waiting until a whole season's out and then watching and just being able to binge it.
1:18:45
That's like my Sunday usually.
1:18:46
We just watch whatever.
1:18:48
But yeah, I hate having to wait for every Friday night to watch a show.
1:18:53
It is so good, isn't it?
1:18:54
There are a couple of them out though, right?
1:18:56
Like so we can... Yeah, there's five episodes out already.
1:19:02
But like tomorrow, the next.
1:19:03
Is it greater than season one?
1:19:05
Eh...
1:19:17
For me, it's getting better.
1:19:20
The first two episodes, I was like, is this one missing season one?
1:19:26
I think there's five out.
1:19:28
I think tomorrow's six, but it could be.
1:19:32
Might be four out and tomorrow's five.
1:19:35
It is so 1980s action.
1:19:37
Yeah.
1:19:41
I am all for it.
1:19:45
It was so good.
1:19:46
Yeah, it's very good.
1:19:48
When that bad FBI agent got slammed in the printing press tonight, I was just like, yes.
1:19:54
You're telling people?
1:19:58
Not everyone's probably seen it.
1:20:00
Spoiler alert.
1:20:01
Season one has been out for what, a year?
1:20:04
Yeah.
1:20:05
You just saw it?
1:20:06
You just saw it?
1:20:10
You just finished it.
1:20:12
True.
1:20:13
But I can't be mad if someone spoils it because I let it sit for a year.
1:20:20
Yeah.
1:20:23
But yeah.
1:20:25
Yeah.
1:20:26
You picked a good one.
1:20:27
It's a very good show.
1:20:28
Did you ever watch Jack Ryan?
1:20:32
I've watched most of it.
1:20:35
We got stuck.
1:20:38
So
1:20:40
season three i think season three we got stuck because yeah that's what it's the russian piece right yeah i think yeah and um it's so dark on my tv that if we try to watch it in the meantime we can't see anything that's frustrating and we have too many windows in my living room
1:21:04
And my wife doesn't believe in blinds, Miss interior decorator.
1:21:08
So we can't watch it.
1:21:09
So it, it just never, we didn't finish it because we just don't remember it when it's nighttime.
1:21:17
Yeah.
1:21:18
Fair enough.
1:21:19
Yeah.
1:21:21
I love the first two seasons.
1:21:22
The third one was a little harder to follow, not harder to follow.
1:21:27
I thought a little slower.
1:21:31
And we never finished it, so we probably will at some point.
1:21:38
But, yeah.
1:21:40
Well, with that, we've stretched it out to an hour and 20.
1:21:42
We're going to be back tomorrow night, 8 o'clock, Waterpalooza wrap-up show again.
1:21:48
That's right, Kenneth.
1:21:51
My wife says it's all about the natural light.
1:21:54
We've had none of that in Ohio for the last week.
1:21:59
So it doesn't matter if we have blinds or not because there is none.
1:22:06
But with that, I will let everybody go for the night, get some sleep, and we'll see you back here tomorrow on the Guadalupalooza Wrap-Up Show, Friday night, 8 o'clock.
1:22:17
Check us out.
1:22:18
Bye, guys.
1:22:18
Bye.
