  I have a haircut scheduled

  on Tuesday before I leave for Fort Worth.

  Just in time.

  This is my old do before my

• 1:23
  I see you, Carolyn.
• 1:24
  I see you.
• 1:26
  I like it.
• 1:27
  I think it looks good.
• 1:28
  I don't, I don't know.
• 1:30
  I just hate it's an old corporate look.
• 1:35
  All right.
• 1:37
  I keeping it real once to
• 1:38
  borrow some of my hair permanently.
• 1:41
  They're definitely going to
• 1:41
  cut off enough on Tuesday for sure.
• 1:43
  Um,
• 1:48
  Bruce is asking for an
• 1:49
  update to show a Cheryl missed those.
• 1:52
  We had made an announcement
• 1:54
  that we are taking a break
• 1:55
  till after the games and we
• 1:57
  are reformatting that show
• 1:58
  to make it more of a community show,
• 2:01
  do some workouts of the week,
• 2:03
  things like that.
• 2:04
  So the last one we did go check that out.
• 2:07
  We talk about all the
• 2:08
  changes we're going to make
• 2:09
  and we'll be relaunching
• 2:10
  that show right after the games.
• 2:15
  so um guys watching the
• 2:18
  olympics this week devs
• 2:20
  your week slowed down jamie
• 2:22
  anything updated no no no
• 2:26
  olympics for me I've been
• 2:30
  like non-stop watching the
• 2:31
  olympics I think I'm off
• 2:33
  right now in the summer
• 2:34
  it's like all I'm doing is
• 2:35
  just consuming the olympics
• 2:36
  and different stuff so it's great
• 2:41
  yeah I can't I i watched a
• 2:43
  lot of simone and I watched
• 2:44
  a lot of katie and them
• 2:46
  going back and forth on the
• 2:47
  gold medal count which I
• 2:48
  thought was pretty cool um
• 2:51
  I just kind of watching how
• 2:52
  like simone tied katie went
• 2:54
  ahead simone's got a couple
• 2:56
  more events like who's
• 2:58
  going to end up as the
• 3:00
  biggest uh or the american
• 3:03
  with the most female with
• 3:04
  the most gold medals look
• 3:07
  Katie says that she might
• 3:08
  compete in 2028 in Los Angeles.
• 3:10
  Simone won't probably,
• 3:12
  but Ledecky will also.
• 3:18
  But you never know.
• 3:20
  Yeah.
• 3:21
  Like four years in a gymnast
• 3:23
  is pretty hard at her age.
• 3:26
  She's already one of the older gymnasts.
• 3:29
  I think you can stay within
• 3:30
  the sport longer in
• 3:31
  swimming than you probably
• 3:32
  can in gymnastics.
• 3:35
  I think Simone can catch up.
• 3:37
  i think ledecky can do the
• 3:40
  long distance stuff for
• 3:41
  sure the 800 and the 1500 I
• 3:44
  think she could do that um
• 3:47
  and probably win those I
• 3:49
  posted something on my
• 3:50
  story in the in the 1500
• 3:55
  she holds the 20 fastest
• 3:57
  times in history like that
• 4:00
  is insane it is insane like
• 4:04
  That is completely unheard of.
• 4:07
  I don't think people can
• 4:08
  grasp what domination that
• 4:09
  is in one event.
• 4:13
  I mean, I think her just winning,
• 4:14
  I guess I was like 10
• 4:16
  seconds ahead of the next person.
• 4:18
  Like that's, that's insane.
• 4:20
  You don't,
• 4:20
  you see all these other races
• 4:22
  are so darn close,
• 4:22
  like hundreds of a second.
• 4:24
  And then there's Katie.
• 4:26
  Nobody else.
• 4:27
  Sixth best time.
• 4:29
  Yeah, that's crazy.
• 4:31
  That's the concept.
• 4:32
  It's hard to grasp your head.
• 4:34
  Put your head around.
• 4:36
  Yeah.
• 4:37
  So what happened with the Canadian soccer?
• 4:42
  I haven't caught it,
• 4:43
  but you were telling me
• 4:43
  about them last week.
• 4:45
  Well,
• 4:45
  they ended up going 3-0 in the round
• 4:49
  robin,
• 4:50
  so they made it through to the
• 4:51
  quarterfinals.
• 4:52
  They played against Germany,
• 4:53
  who's a really good team,
• 4:55
  and then they ended up
• 4:56
  losing in a shootout.
• 4:59
  So Germany is off to the
• 5:00
  semis and USA for you guys
• 5:05
  are off to the semis.
• 5:06
  So that's where they'll be playing,
• 5:07
  I think.
• 5:09
  It's not us against you, Carolyn.
• 5:10
  Well, I mean, it kind of is.
• 5:14
  We're Canadian at heart.
• 5:18
  So can I ask you this?
• 5:19
  With the penalty they
• 5:20
  incurred because of the drone thing,
• 5:25
  did it make them a lower
• 5:26
  seed and have to go against
• 5:28
  a better team in the next round?
• 5:30
  Yeah, that's you.
• 5:31
  Like they would have
• 5:33
  probably have had an easier
• 5:36
  opponent for their quarterfinals.
• 5:38
  Um, but they come out, you know,
• 5:40
  with only three points
• 5:41
  instead of nine points.
• 5:43
  So I'm sure that, you know,
• 5:44
  being second in their group
• 5:46
  makes a big difference for
• 5:47
  her second or third or
• 5:48
  third in their group would
• 5:50
  make a difference.
• 5:51
  Yeah.
• 5:51
  Yeah.
• 5:52
  That would be tough.
• 5:55
  Have you guys watched any of Alana Moore?
• 5:58
  No.
• 6:00
  She's the rugby player that
• 6:04
  stiff-armed the girl.
• 6:07
  If you are not following her on Instagram,
• 6:10
  the funniest athlete, I think, out there.
• 6:14
  She's up there with Rebecca
• 6:15
  Fusile and internet content.
• 6:19
  So funny.
• 6:19
  Yeah.
• 6:20
  She started the Olympics
• 6:21
  with around 600-something
• 6:24
  thousand followers,
• 6:25
  and I think she's at 2.7 million now.
• 6:29
  She's blown up.
• 6:30
  Yeah, it's crazy.
• 6:34
  Yeah.
• 6:35
  She's really doing well for herself.
• 6:37
  Her social media is blowing up,
• 6:40
  and I just think that her
• 6:42
  content is great.
• 6:43
  Yeah.
• 6:44
  She's marketing herself very well,
• 6:46
  and her sport, too.
• 6:48
  She's doing a great job.
• 6:49
  People are definitely really invested.
• 6:52
  I would watch Rugby Sevens.
• 6:54
  Now that I know what it is, it is fast.
• 6:57
  It's over quick.
• 6:58
  I could watch that all day.
• 7:01
  So she's made me a fan for sure.
• 7:05
  Vi asks, in your opinion,
• 7:07
  do you think they already
• 7:08
  have or continue to benefit
• 7:10
  from the knowledge their
• 7:11
  coaches gained when cheating?
• 7:15
  Speaking of the Canadian team,
• 7:16
  do you think that they gained...
• 7:20
  After the suspension and everything,
• 7:22
  do you think that they
• 7:22
  actually still have an advantage?
• 7:26
  I think every team does it.
• 7:28
  And Canada got caught.
• 7:30
  That's my opinion on it.
• 7:33
  With drones?
• 7:35
  Spying of some sort.
• 7:38
  Yes.
• 7:38
  There's an American soccer
• 7:40
  player at the Olympics, I'm pretty sure,
• 7:41
  that said he knows for a
• 7:43
  fact that all the top teams do it.
• 7:49
  And I feel like that's most
• 7:50
  likely the case in
• 7:52
  different ways that they
• 7:53
  would be spying on different teams.
• 7:57
  I would not be surprised one bit.
• 7:59
  I do not think it's only Canada.
• 8:03
  The question was,
• 8:06
  because the coach cheated
• 8:07
  and gained knowledge,
• 8:08
  does it help them even if
• 8:09
  the coach is removed?
• 8:11
  And I believe it does.
• 8:13
  they were trained in one way
• 8:14
  or given advice about one
• 8:17
  team that still stands even
• 8:19
  when the coach is removed.
• 8:21
  But I do agree with you that
• 8:22
  everybody tries to cheat.
• 8:26
  Most people try to cheat.
• 8:28
  Yeah.
• 8:28
  I just think like in a sport
• 8:29
  like soccer where it's very, you know,
• 8:33
  reaction and like,
• 8:35
  you can know what formations they play.
• 8:37
  Let's say they play four, four, two, or,
• 8:38
  you know, I don't know, you know, four,
• 8:42
  like,
• 8:43
  whatever, three, four, three or something.
• 8:45
  Like just knowing certain formations, like,
• 8:47
  oh no,
• 8:47
  is it that much of an advantage to
• 8:49
  spy on them?
• 8:50
  I feel like you can study film quite a bit,
• 8:53
  like looking at their practices.
• 8:57
  Where I think it would play
• 8:58
  an advantage is like
• 8:59
  looking at the goalkeeper
• 9:00
  and tendencies or if they
• 9:02
  could watch a shootout that
• 9:03
  they would do at practices
• 9:04
  and see the tendency of a certain player.
• 9:06
  Okay, they like to shoot left.
• 9:07
  So then, you know,
• 9:08
  you write it on your water bottle.
• 9:10
  this player's coming up to shoot,
• 9:12
  number five, okay, dive to my left.
• 9:15
  That kind of stuff would be
• 9:17
  more beneficial in terms of formation.
• 9:20
  I feel like once the game starts,
• 9:21
  you adjust to how it is.
• 9:26
  But I'm sure there's advantages still.
• 9:31
  Kipping it real asks,
• 9:32
  what sport can I easily
• 9:33
  become an Olympian in?
• 9:37
  I think that
• 9:41
  I think that's almost a
• 9:42
  disrespectful question
• 9:44
  because I think to be an
• 9:45
  Olympian is really, really, really,
• 9:48
  really hard.
• 9:51
  I wanted to be an Olympian
• 9:52
  when I was growing up.
• 9:54
  And when I became a,
• 9:55
  like a sophomore in high school,
• 9:57
  I knew it was over.
• 9:59
  I know Carolyn tried to be
• 10:00
  an Olympian in Canada and you,
• 10:02
  and then you find out at
• 10:04
  some point it's over like,
• 10:06
  and that's working your
• 10:07
  whole life toward that one goal.
• 10:11
  Like I, I don't,
• 10:12
  I think even making that statement,
• 10:14
  even if you're like an
• 10:15
  archery or skeet shooting
• 10:18
  or whatever it is, break dancing,
• 10:21
  like you have to put a lot
• 10:22
  of work in to be the best in the world.
• 10:24
  I don't want all that
• 10:26
  Turkish guy shooting.
• 10:28
  He just sounds like he just
• 10:31
  picked up a gun and after
• 10:33
  his divorce and went and
• 10:36
  now he's an Olympian.
• 10:39
  His picture with just the
• 10:41
  hand in the pocket is awesome.
• 10:44
  Yeah.
• 10:46
  There are stories of people
• 10:47
  moving to small countries and doing it.
• 10:49
  Yeah, that's not picking a sport, though.
• 10:51
  That's gaming the system.
• 10:56
  I saw a special one, and of course,
• 10:58
  swimming is my slant,
• 11:00
  but where people have gone
• 11:02
  and done that in countries
• 11:03
  and could barely swim,
• 11:04
  and they've had to almost...
• 11:08
  hold them in a heat by
• 11:09
  themselves so they could be
• 11:11
  saved the most impressive
• 11:16
  olympians though by far to
• 11:18
  me is the decathletes like
• 11:19
  it's they're the best
• 11:21
  athletes in the world um
• 11:23
  could they be the fittest
• 11:24
  in the world I mean the way
• 11:26
  that they're elite and
• 11:27
  they're sprinting and
• 11:28
  distance I mean you look at
• 11:30
  their bodies um obviously
• 11:32
  it would be like there's no
• 11:34
  like they could probably do
• 11:35
  you know a bunch of strict
• 11:36
  pull-ups they wouldn't have
• 11:38
  the same gymnastic skills
• 11:40
  that we have but it's a
• 11:42
  good argument that they're
• 11:43
  the fittest in the world I
• 11:45
  would love to see an
• 11:46
  athlete actually try to
• 11:48
  compete at crossfit like
• 11:50
  but they would have to like
• 11:51
  learn some of the things
• 11:52
  that we're programming for
• 11:54
  our programming is crossfit
• 11:56
  base but like they're
• 11:58
  sprinting would like our
• 12:00
  sprinting is a joke
• 12:00
  compared to their results
• 12:02
  our endurance is a joke
• 12:03
  compared to what they're
• 12:04
  able to do they're able to high jump
• 12:06
  throw a javelin shot put a
• 12:09
  long jumper like it's it's
• 12:11
  impressive what they're
• 12:13
  doing yeah do you remember
• 12:16
  back in the old days of
• 12:17
  crossfit when they had the
• 12:19
  skills competition where
• 12:20
  they did the broad jump and
• 12:22
  they did like and they
• 12:25
  weren't full point events
• 12:26
  they just did a bunch of like
• 12:30
  skills do you think that
• 12:32
  that that would be cool to
• 12:33
  bring back or do you think
• 12:34
  that that's not exciting
• 12:36
  enough for the crowd I
• 12:39
  think it'd be cool to bring
• 12:40
  back I like it I just think
• 12:44
  we're so novice at it like
• 12:46
  it's I i personally would
• 12:49
  like to see it but I don't
• 12:50
  think that many of the
• 12:52
  athletes would be very good
• 12:53
  at it if I'm being honest
• 12:58
  People have specialized so
• 12:59
  much in CrossFit.
• 13:03
  I heard people speculating
• 13:04
  when the Farrington field
• 13:05
  was announced before we got
• 13:06
  more details that it might
• 13:08
  be something like that.
• 13:09
  Like the old broad jump,
• 13:11
  like maybe a vertical,
• 13:12
  maybe like just a bunch of skills,
• 13:15
  things that are 25 point
• 13:19
  events or 50 point events,
• 13:21
  as opposed to like a
• 13:21
  hundred point events.
• 13:23
  And you just combine them all together.
• 13:25
  I would love it.
• 13:26
  I'd love to see it.
• 13:27
  I think it's an important part of fitness,
• 13:30
  and it doesn't get tested enough.
• 13:32
  Yeah,
• 13:33
  we know Dave's not bringing back the
• 13:34
  softball throw,
• 13:34
  but the rest of them could
• 13:38
  be brought back and made
• 13:39
  into something kind of cool.
• 13:43
  All right, well,
• 13:44
  let's dive into the show a little bit.
• 13:49
  Dave has decided instead of
• 13:51
  a week in review,
• 13:51
  he's going to do a day in
• 13:52
  review while he's at the CrossFit Games.
• 13:56
  Just overall general thoughts,
• 13:57
  if you've caught any of those,
• 13:59
  what your thoughts are
• 14:00
  about Dave's day in review.
• 14:05
  I mean, I think I like it.
• 14:06
  It gets you,
• 14:08
  for those of us that aren't
• 14:09
  there yet or going at all,
• 14:11
  it's cool to see some of those set up,
• 14:15
  just see different parts of
• 14:16
  the venue and put you in.
• 14:19
  It gets you excited.
• 14:20
  It's that lead up to draw you in.
• 14:23
  What's going on?
• 14:23
  What are they testing?
• 14:24
  What has he got to say?
• 14:28
  Yeah, night one was kind of meh,
• 14:31
  but you did get to see Dickie's arena.
• 14:33
  Like, you got to see it at night.
• 14:34
  You got to see that there's
• 14:35
  steps leading up to it,
• 14:37
  that it looks a lot bigger
• 14:39
  with Dave kind of in
• 14:40
  perspective of it than it
• 14:42
  does in some of the shots we see online.
• 14:45
  Night two, I thought was outstanding.
• 14:49
  He's in the stadium seats
• 14:51
  with the demo team down on
• 14:52
  the field working through some stuff.
• 14:55
  And then you get your
• 14:57
  magnifying glass out and
• 14:58
  you're trying to figure out
• 14:59
  all the clues.
• 15:00
  Oh, yeah.
• 15:00
  I was zooming into the
• 15:01
  background looking at where
• 15:03
  everything was placed.
• 15:06
  I text Jamie this morning.
• 15:07
  I'm like,
• 15:08
  zoom into the left behind Dave's
• 15:10
  shoulder.
• 15:11
  Are those like the pylons
• 15:12
  that they ran around in the sprint?
• 15:16
  She goes, I don't know.
• 15:16
  It's too blurry.
• 15:18
  It's if anything, it'd be like, if it is,
• 15:21
  I just think there's the
• 15:21
  one and it's for like the end turnaround,
• 15:25
  just down around and back.
• 15:26
  I don't think it's going to be like a,
• 15:28
  a bunch of them out on the field.
• 15:30
  You think it's like a suicide?
• 15:32
  Yeah, it could be.
• 15:33
  I don't know if, I don't know.
• 15:36
  I mean, like, give me some zigzag.
• 15:41
  You're not asking,
• 15:42
  like they've done that a
• 15:43
  couple of times and it's
• 15:44
  been awesome every time they've done it.
• 15:47
  Except for when people got
• 15:48
  cut because they stepped on the line.
• 15:50
  Yeah.
• 15:51
  But that's part of track and field.
• 15:55
  You step on the line at track and field,
• 15:57
  you're out.
• 15:59
  We know the rules.
• 15:59
  There's plenty of room.
• 16:00
  You're just not cutting right.
• 16:05
  If they add the zigzag,
• 16:06
  then my Brooke Wells
• 16:06
  prediction might be right.
• 16:09
  Just saying.
• 16:12
  He said that the event was...
• 16:15
  based or inspired from one
• 16:17
  of the events from Carson.
• 16:18
  Is that what he, what he said on his, um,
• 16:22
  he said that he, they were, weren't,
• 16:25
  they were going to be
• 16:26
  working on his favorite event today.
• 16:29
  And it was inspired by
• 16:30
  something from Madison loosely.
• 16:37
  But then did you pick up any clues,
• 16:39
  Carolyn,
• 16:39
  with your magnifying glass and zoom?
• 16:43
  There's the starting block,
• 16:44
  which is just where the name,
• 16:45
  thing goes over and then
• 16:47
  there was I think there was
• 16:48
  three pylons those are the
• 16:50
  ones that normally you cut
• 16:51
  across around or if it's a
• 16:53
  suicide you could also um
• 16:55
  like run around that way
• 16:57
  the the happy star in his
• 17:00
  story today where you saw
• 17:02
  um what's her name trista
• 17:05
  holding it it didn't look
• 17:06
  like it was that heavy I
• 17:09
  mean she didn't make it
• 17:09
  look like it was super super heavy um the
• 17:13
  looks huge though but not
• 17:14
  sure how I still don't know
• 17:15
  how they're going to use
• 17:16
  that into the sprint so
• 17:19
  excited to see what they're
• 17:20
  what they'll do with it
• 17:21
  whether they throw it in a
• 17:22
  sled they run with it yeah
• 17:27
  there wasn't many clues on
• 17:28
  the floor or on the field
• 17:31
  so I you could see sandbag
• 17:34
  like things over by the
• 17:36
  people to the right
• 17:38
  in front of them.
• 17:40
  And then the other big clue
• 17:41
  for me was you saw Colton Tudor.
• 17:46
  Yeah.
• 17:47
  And,
• 17:48
  and Tetlo running straight running
• 17:51
  around the track.
• 17:52
  Like a mile would be run.
• 17:54
  Right.
• 17:55
  Nothing in their hands.
• 17:58
  And so it looks like straight mile to me.
• 18:02
  Yep.
• 18:04
  You also,
• 18:05
  I think he also had posted Sydney
• 18:06
  running the mile.
• 18:08
  Um,
• 18:09
  on his story yeah like you
• 18:10
  have to almost watch his
• 18:11
  instagram story because
• 18:12
  there's a lot of flus on
• 18:13
  those two that will be
• 18:14
  popping up or pictures that
• 18:16
  will be popping up this
• 18:16
  week so I'm going to run
• 18:19
  through a story since you
• 18:20
  brought that up or just go
• 18:22
  through it so this is uh
• 18:24
  inside the arena um and
• 18:28
  then keeping it real made
• 18:30
  it onto dave's story nice
• 18:36
  Here's Sydney Wells running,
• 18:38
  just like Carolyn said.
• 18:39
  Here's the boys.
• 18:46
  Yep.
• 18:48
  Looks like a drop-in.
• 18:49
  Okay.
• 18:56
  And there is...
• 19:07
  is like just recap of the
• 19:08
  day in review and where are
• 19:12
  we at here oh the lake oh
• 19:14
  there's a big paddleboard
• 19:18
  there's some people running
• 19:25
  are they going to go right
• 19:25
  into the water on it but
• 19:31
  they're all on their knees
• 19:32
  so I don't think that
• 19:33
  they're allowed to do the standout
• 19:38
  I don't think you'd want to really.
• 19:40
  So, I mean,
• 19:42
  these seems like the safest way
• 19:45
  to go on this.
• 19:50
  I think Dave also says that
• 19:51
  they're going the wrong
• 19:52
  direction when they're on them.
• 19:53
  That's awesome.
• 19:58
  So that's Dave's stories from today.
• 20:01
  Um,
• 20:02
  keeping it real says I was surprised he
• 20:03
  had them testing teams.
• 20:04
  I thought they would be
• 20:05
  testing individual.
• 20:06
  They're the only testers they got.
• 20:08
  So if they need someone to test,
• 20:10
  we tested plenty of team
• 20:12
  workouts last year on the demo team.
• 20:14
  They,
• 20:14
  they have to test most of like both
• 20:16
  teams and individuals.
• 20:18
  And we ended up testing more
• 20:19
  of the team workouts than
• 20:20
  individuals because the
• 20:21
  individuals are oftentimes easier, uh,
• 20:25
  to test,
• 20:25
  but like the big bobs and stuff
• 20:27
  are just like the layout.
• 20:29
  There'll be like that demo
• 20:30
  team is going to be,
• 20:31
  put through a bunch,
• 20:31
  like they'll put four athletes.
• 20:33
  Okay.
• 20:34
  You guys will go do this team workout.
• 20:35
  And then the other two athletes,
• 20:37
  the male and female might
• 20:38
  test an individual workout.
• 20:39
  And if they don't like something, okay,
• 20:41
  let's get another two athletes,
• 20:43
  male and female to test
• 20:44
  this individual workout.
• 20:45
  And there'll be like, Oh,
• 20:46
  which four you guys think
• 20:47
  would be the best to test
• 20:48
  this team workout.
• 20:49
  And then they kind of talk about, um,
• 20:52
  what they can do there.
• 20:54
  So no, there'll be those athletes again,
• 20:56
  put through the ringer.
• 20:58
  for people who don't
• 20:59
  remember carolyn was a demo
• 21:01
  team member last year so
• 21:03
  she knows all about what
• 21:05
  they're put through because
• 21:07
  she experienced it
• 21:08
  firsthand herself yeah the
• 21:11
  first few days is a lot of
• 21:12
  testing it slows down for
• 21:13
  the demo team after where
• 21:15
  they're doing engagements
• 21:16
  and um might be showing up
• 21:18
  at level ones or seminar um
• 21:23
  workouts or community stuff
• 21:25
  but the first few days are
• 21:27
  basically got to be ready to
• 21:29
  next next man up or next
• 21:30
  woman up to do a workout
• 21:33
  what is more fatiguing demo
• 21:35
  team or competing at the
• 21:36
  games I mean I think
• 21:41
  competing at the games
• 21:42
  because you have a pressure
• 21:44
  like you're anxious like
• 21:45
  it's just I don't know it's
• 21:46
  very different um
• 21:52
  It's different.
• 21:53
  I was still very sore from
• 21:54
  the demo team stuff.
• 21:55
  Definitely.
• 21:59
  When I was there in 2017 and
• 22:01
  we were working on Strongman's Fear,
• 22:03
  the demo team tested that event, I swear,
• 22:06
  like 20 times within two days.
• 22:12
  And it kept changing.
• 22:14
  Our instructions on how to
• 22:15
  set it up kept changing.
• 22:16
  The weights on everything kept changing.
• 22:20
  It would, they,
• 22:21
  it took that long for them
• 22:22
  to get it right.
• 22:24
  The thing is,
• 22:24
  is like they have testers
• 22:26
  that will test it prior to, um,
• 22:30
  to the actual games.
• 22:31
  Like when I,
• 22:32
  when I was on the demo team last year,
• 22:34
  I didn't know a single
• 22:35
  workout until I got to the
• 22:37
  games and did them there.
• 22:38
  It's look,
• 22:39
  it looks like with Dave back in
• 22:40
  the picture,
• 22:41
  he brought some of those demo
• 22:42
  athletes out to the ranch,
• 22:44
  or he may have went to
• 22:45
  different locations with
• 22:47
  certain athletes to test it out prior,
• 22:49
  like multiple weeks.
• 22:51
  So, I mean,
• 22:53
  that also could leave more time
• 22:55
  for leakage of certain information.
• 22:59
  But I know that they,
• 23:01
  like they had a last year,
• 23:02
  a camp in Columbus that had a certain,
• 23:05
  like certain testers do
• 23:08
  workouts and then the demo
• 23:09
  team did them on site.
• 23:11
  But like, we didn't know anything prior.
• 23:15
  The teams tested here in Columbus again.
• 23:17
  I know Boz came to Columbus
• 23:20
  because they just do it at
• 23:21
  Rogue in the warehouse.
• 23:26
  And so it's just easy to get
• 23:27
  everybody here where the equipment is,
• 23:29
  I'm guessing, for the teams.
• 23:32
  So they did that.
• 23:36
  So the other thing that came
• 23:37
  out this week from Dave's
• 23:40
  Instagram was the event for
• 23:45
  which we'll go ahead and
• 23:46
  just play because we have it here.
• 23:56
  And I've heard no bad
• 23:58
  comments about this workout.
• 24:03
  Like everybody seems to love
• 24:05
  the structure of this workout.
• 24:09
  Yeah.
• 24:11
  Yeah, I personally love this workout.
• 24:13
  I would love to do it.
• 24:18
  So was it on purpose where
• 24:21
  he went 50 TRI and then erased it?
• 24:25
  I'm sure.
• 24:25
  I mean, I mean, it makes no sense.
• 24:31
  It doesn't go with anything
• 24:32
  else that he would have been writing.
• 24:39
  25 rope climbs is no joke though.
• 24:42
  Yeah.
• 24:43
  That's a lot.
• 24:43
  Especially if it happens to
• 24:45
  be like the 20 foot rope climbs too.
• 24:50
  So what do you think about
• 24:50
  the weights on the deadlift?
• 24:54
  I think it's fine.
• 24:57
  Yeah.
• 24:57
  I mean, it's got a hundred deadlifts.
• 24:58
  I don't think you need to go
• 24:59
  heavier than that.
• 25:04
  I don't like to see heavier.
• 25:05
  So I think this is perfect.
• 25:06
  I think this is a great workout.
• 25:11
  Do we think that Dave did
• 25:13
  this or I can't picture
• 25:15
  Dave using emojis at any
• 25:16
  time in his life?
• 25:18
  I can.
• 25:20
  I know, I think Sivan said he doesn't,
• 25:22
  but I totally can see him
• 25:24
  sending an emoji.
• 25:27
  Do we think this is him
• 25:28
  actually doing this?
• 25:29
  I doubt it.
• 25:33
  I don't know.
• 25:35
  So, are triple unders a fake leak?
• 25:45
  Who knows?
• 25:47
  You know, I kind of
• 25:49
  I kind of wish, like,
• 25:52
  hope that he did that, did intentionally,
• 25:54
  like, tell, like,
• 25:56
  one person something that
• 25:59
  is not going to be used to
• 26:01
  see if it would get leaked.
• 26:02
  Like,
• 26:02
  I think that would be the smart way to go,
• 26:06
  assuming they're ever going
• 26:07
  to actually do anything about it.
• 26:08
  But, like,
• 26:09
  you should totally add in a
• 26:11
  movement every year and see who leaks it.
• 26:16
  I was watching a plate stack,
• 26:18
  check chat the other day
• 26:19
  that grant was on kipping,
• 26:23
  kipping it real.
• 26:24
  And, uh, they talked about,
• 26:26
  should you suspend someone
• 26:28
  who leaks information?
• 26:31
  And I think you should,
• 26:32
  I don't know if it's four year ban, but,
• 26:35
  um,
• 26:36
  it's just as damaging to the sport as
• 26:39
  someone popping for PEDs.
• 26:41
  And I do believe like a
• 26:42
  suspension is in order if
• 26:44
  that's what happened.
• 26:47
  i agree but how do you know
• 26:49
  who it was if unless like
• 26:53
  you intentionally did
• 26:54
  something like that like
• 26:55
  gave someone devil's press
• 26:58
  and someone triple unders
• 27:00
  and someone knees to elbows
• 27:02
  and you see who who said
• 27:04
  who comes out with what
• 27:07
  then you know who your leak is
• 27:09
  It's just so hard because
• 27:09
  you have the demo athletes
• 27:11
  that let's say will know
• 27:12
  the workouts this week or possibly prior.
• 27:15
  You have other testers that
• 27:16
  have done the workouts.
• 27:17
  You have people that are
• 27:18
  walking around facilities
• 27:20
  when things are getting tested.
• 27:22
  You have judges that might
• 27:24
  know workouts ahead of time.
• 27:25
  You have seminar staff,
• 27:26
  people that might know parts of like,
• 27:29
  you know,
• 27:29
  the pictures just starts getting
• 27:31
  bigger and it's hard to
• 27:31
  pinpoint probably where it
• 27:34
  comes from unless you have
• 27:35
  direct evidence.
• 27:37
  Um,
• 27:38
  yeah it's just it's the
• 27:42
  unknown of our sport is a
• 27:44
  huge problem because it's
• 27:46
  oftentimes not unknown to
• 27:48
  everyone right well
• 27:50
  apparently ariel got a call
• 27:54
  from hq after that was
• 27:56
  aired on grant's show the
• 27:59
  other day so apparently
• 28:03
  they're invest they were
• 28:03
  investigating to some
• 28:04
  degree as to what happened
• 28:08
  Which they should.
• 28:09
  And if you find out who it is,
• 28:12
  I do think there should be a punishment.
• 28:15
  I agree.
• 28:16
  Because it's not getting better,
• 28:17
  it's getting worse.
• 28:19
  Right.
• 28:21
  And even on that show,
• 28:23
  I was saying in the chat
• 28:24
  that there are times where who cares?
• 28:28
  It's just this to that.
• 28:30
  But those crossover
• 28:33
  double-unders that got
• 28:34
  leaked a couple years ago were huge.
• 28:37
  The fact that half the field
• 28:38
  had a beaded rope before
• 28:40
  that event made it a
• 28:42
  completely unfair advantage
• 28:44
  for half the field.
• 28:49
  Yeah.
• 28:51
  And I know Carolyn was
• 28:52
  competing that year and she
• 28:54
  didn't have a beaded rope.
• 28:57
  Nope.
• 28:58
  I didn't make it to there.
• 29:01
  So.
• 29:06
  Vi says HQ could publicly
• 29:08
  name them as responsible
• 29:10
  for the game's leaks and
• 29:11
  shame can be very powerful.
• 29:13
  And I guess I'm assuming it
• 29:14
  with suspension that it's an athlete,
• 29:16
  but it could be someone
• 29:17
  that's not an athlete.
• 29:20
  And so suspension won't do any good.
• 29:25
  Yeah.
• 29:25
  Like that's,
• 29:26
  you don't know if it's an
• 29:26
  athlete could be a
• 29:27
  bystander that was watching.
• 29:29
  Like, yep.
• 29:30
  I mean, I'm sure that they have normally,
• 29:33
  like I would assume that
• 29:34
  they would only have, let's say Boz,
• 29:37
  Dave and, you know, Chuck let's, you know,
• 29:41
  watching the workouts
• 29:42
  getting tested and then
• 29:43
  they're just writing notes.
• 29:45
  But if there's other people that are there,
• 29:47
  like you just don't know.
• 29:48
  It's it's hard.
• 29:52
  Yeah.
• 29:53
  And you have the graphics guys.
• 29:56
  A graphics guy has to make
• 29:58
  all that stuff for
• 29:59
  production of the TV show.
• 30:00
  This is the workout and this
• 30:02
  is what's in it.
• 30:04
  All that has to be done too.
• 30:05
  ESPN's probably got a list
• 30:09
  of what the workout is.
• 30:14
  So yeah, it is deep.
• 30:18
  Deeper than it used to be, I'm sure.
• 30:21
  So that leak was that the
• 30:23
  box is different.
• 30:25
  Do you think that the box is
• 30:27
  structured different now
• 30:28
  that you've heard that?
• 30:29
  Or do you think like your
• 30:31
  initial reaction when we
• 30:33
  showed that video last week
• 30:35
  that there was like a line
• 30:36
  she had to step over on top
• 30:38
  or a chalk mark she had to
• 30:40
  step into and out of?
• 30:43
  Do you think the box is
• 30:44
  actually structured
• 30:45
  different or do you think
• 30:46
  you were right initially?
• 30:52
  I still think there's an
• 30:53
  area that you have to step
• 30:55
  up into with both feet
• 30:56
  before you can go to the
• 30:58
  other side of the box.
• 30:59
  Like whether that's a
• 31:00
  straight line going across
• 31:02
  the middle of the box and
• 31:05
  you have to stand up two
• 31:06
  feet must make contact here.
• 31:07
  I don't know.
• 31:08
  Like that's,
• 31:09
  it just looked like you had to stand up.
• 31:12
  Let's say three point of contact,
• 31:13
  stand up straight step and
• 31:16
  then come down.
• 31:19
  Larry Young says the leak
• 31:21
  could come from drone watching them test.
• 31:25
  I've heard that's done in other places.
• 31:30
  Bruce says there's footprints on it.
• 31:34
  But it would have to change
• 31:35
  when they come up the other
• 31:36
  side of the box.
• 31:39
  Yeah.
• 31:39
  When I looked at the video,
• 31:41
  it looked like one side was
• 31:44
  lower than the other.
• 31:49
  to me but that would be very
• 31:51
  weird I mean unless it's
• 31:52
  like almost like a step but
• 31:55
  I doubt it yeah but just
• 31:59
  like where her knee was
• 32:01
  going on this side was
• 32:03
  higher than on the left
• 32:04
  side of the frame but I
• 32:09
  don't know how that would
• 32:11
  change how the box is yeah
• 32:17
  Well,
• 32:17
  the other thing that came out this week,
• 32:18
  and thank you to the Barbell Spin,
• 32:21
  they made a nice little
• 32:25
  schedule of events for the week.
• 32:28
  You can also download the games app,
• 32:32
  but this is one little square,
• 32:34
  shows you all the stuff
• 32:36
  pretty generically.
• 32:38
  I think if you want to know
• 32:39
  what's going on this weekend,
• 32:40
  this is the best way to figure it out.
• 32:42
  Yeah,
• 32:43
  this graphic is far superior than the
• 32:46
  website.
• 32:48
  Because I know when we're at the games,
• 32:50
  it is chaos.
• 32:51
  And we're always asking each other,
• 32:53
  when's the next event?
• 32:54
  When's the next event?
• 32:55
  I'm probably going to print this off,
• 32:57
  laminate it,
• 32:59
  and have it with me at all
• 33:00
  times so I know when the next thing is,
• 33:03
  when can I be there?
• 33:07
  But what I do notice too is there are,
• 33:09
  like Dave talked about,
• 33:10
  there are built-in breaks in the day.
• 33:13
  where there's absolutely
• 33:14
  nothing going on in the venue.
• 33:17
  So like Thursday,
• 33:18
  you have the two events out at the lake,
• 33:21
  and then there is a break
• 33:22
  from 9 to 11 a.m.
• 33:26
  Then the next event is 11 to 2,
• 33:28
  and then team event from 2.15 to 4.
• 33:30
  You have opening ceremonies
• 33:32
  for a half an hour, and then 4.30 to 5.30,
• 33:34
  another break,
• 33:35
  before the Indies come back
• 33:36
  in and do two and a half hours.
• 33:38
  Two and a half hours, what could that be?
• 33:42
  for the final event of Thursday.
• 33:45
  I think that's close.
• 33:46
  Like,
• 33:46
  the opening ceremonies being 4 to 4.30,
• 33:49
  and then an hour after,
• 33:50
  you have a group of them
• 33:51
  that are going to be first
• 33:52
  heat in that individual
• 33:54
  event on Thursday.
• 33:56
  I wish there was more time
• 33:57
  for the athletes there because, I mean,
• 33:59
  assuming it's a short workout,
• 34:01
  that they don't need too,
• 34:02
  too much time to warm up.
• 34:03
  Like, that seems very close to,
• 34:06
  because 5.30 would be the
• 34:07
  start time of first heat.
• 34:09
  Yeah.
• 34:09
  Yeah.
• 34:11
  if anything runs a little
• 34:13
  bit off which normally they
• 34:15
  don't I think the games is
• 34:16
  pretty good at staying on
• 34:18
  like exactly unless or on
• 34:20
  time unless there was like
• 34:21
  a a rain delay which that
• 34:24
  won't be an issue this year
• 34:25
  um it's just a very quick
• 34:30
  turnaround there for the
• 34:32
  whoever's in that first heat yeah
• 34:36
  So again, we get to Friday,
• 34:38
  we have team events to start today,
• 34:40
  and then a long indie event, then a break,
• 34:45
  an hour break, back to a team event,
• 34:48
  indie event, and then a break.
• 34:51
  And that 5.40 to 8 p.m.,
• 34:52
  that's a pretty good chunk
• 34:53
  break before heading to
• 34:55
  Farrington Field for the
• 34:57
  final event of the night.
• 35:00
  Does that...
• 35:02
  Thursday night, 5.30, 8 p.m.,
• 35:04
  is that the ESPN block?
• 35:10
  I don't know.
• 35:11
  I would only be guessing if
• 35:13
  I answered that question.
• 35:17
  That would make sense to me.
• 35:18
  Yeah.
• 35:19
  Because I think they were
• 35:22
  touting that it was more prime time.
• 35:24
  So that would be until 9 p.m.
• 35:26
  Eastern time.
• 35:31
  get into the prime time
• 35:32
  block if they did that yeah
• 35:36
  with at least maybe the
• 35:37
  final heats so you could
• 35:39
  like run the final heat of
• 35:41
  men and women at at eight
• 35:43
  o'clock eastern time yeah I
• 35:48
  might try to find that
• 35:50
  then Saturday starts at 8 AM.
• 35:52
  That's Chad.
• 35:54
  Uh, and then you have a, a little break,
• 35:56
  then team event, indie event,
• 35:58
  team event again,
• 35:59
  and then an hour break in the event.
• 36:02
  But these are all, this is a short day.
• 36:05
  Like we're, we're done at six 45.
• 36:06
  Um,
• 36:09
  and not a lot of breaks in there,
• 36:11
  and the workouts look, after Chad,
• 36:14
  not very long.
• 36:16
  And isn't that evening event,
• 36:17
  that's the ladder?
• 36:21
  No.
• 36:21
  No,
• 36:22
  so that Saturday morning one from 8 to
• 36:24
  10.30, that's Chad.
• 36:26
  So I'm assuming, let's say,
• 36:27
  the female go first or male
• 36:29
  from 8 to 9.15, let's call it,
• 36:32
  and then 9.15 to 10.30,
• 36:34
  so two heats probably.
• 36:36
  And then the 1 to 3 p.m.
• 36:37
  is the clean ladder.
• 36:38
  And then eight.
• 36:40
  So from 1030.
• 36:42
  So let's say nine.
• 36:45
  Let's say the females go first.
• 36:46
  So let's say they're done around 915.
• 36:49
  At the latest,
• 36:51
  they got a few hours before
• 36:52
  the clean ladder to recover.
• 36:55
  Should be a good amount of time.
• 36:58
  Then Sunday, it doesn't start till 11 a.m.
• 37:01
  That's the team.
• 37:02
  The Indies start at noon
• 37:05
  with a quick one-hour
• 37:06
  workout and then a three-to-five block.
• 37:10
  Award ceremony only 15
• 37:11
  minutes after the final event.
• 37:14
  If they hold true to that,
• 37:15
  that is a massive improvement.
• 37:18
  Yeah.
• 37:20
  Massive.
• 37:23
  Last year, I think we waited an hour,
• 37:25
  hour and a half after the
• 37:26
  event for the award ceremony.
• 37:29
  Yeah.
• 37:31
  At this point,
• 37:32
  when you look at the schedule,
• 37:33
  there are 11 events.
• 37:36
  Do you think there will be
• 37:37
  double scored events to get to 12?
• 37:42
  Have we been under 12 recently?
• 37:44
  Not that I can remember for many years.
• 37:51
  Yeah.
• 37:52
  11 seems too, too few.
• 37:53
  Yeah.
• 37:58
  So I wonder with Farrington field,
• 37:59
  if the sprint and the mile
• 38:01
  are two separate events.
• 38:02
  Yeah.
• 38:04
  Likely.
• 38:06
  I mean, that's a,
• 38:07
  that would be an easy one.
• 38:08
  And then do they throw
• 38:10
  another one in double scored or.
• 38:14
  I would like to see more
• 38:15
  scores on Sunday than two,
• 38:17
  two scored events to end the day.
• 38:18
  Cause you don't want someone
• 38:20
  already have that wrapped
• 38:21
  up on Sunday with two events.
• 38:23
  Like you'd want to see,
• 38:23
  let's say a finale that has
• 38:25
  a two part event.
• 38:27
  And you know what?
• 38:28
  You can't take an event off
• 38:30
  because there's, you know, 200,
• 38:33
  300 points there that day.
• 38:35
  So I hope the Sunday has a
• 38:37
  double parter for sure.
• 38:41
  Yeah.
• 38:41
  I hope so too.
• 38:42
  I think just the more events, the better.
• 38:48
  Larry Young,
• 38:50
  thank you so much for the $4.99, dude.
• 38:52
  I really appreciate you.
• 38:53
  A happy star was as big as Trista.
• 38:59
  You saw that, Carolyn.
• 39:00
  Did you think it was as big as her?
• 39:03
  it's a pretty big star it
• 39:05
  looks cool um but I think
• 39:06
  it's probably easier to
• 39:08
  carry than the sandbag
• 39:10
  because the sandbag is like
• 39:12
  so much larger and if you
• 39:13
  can't wrap your hands
• 39:14
  around it it's like way
• 39:16
  more difficult um the star
• 39:19
  is almost like the husafel
• 39:20
  but I would say almost
• 39:22
  easier if I were to guess
• 39:25
  based on how like did it
• 39:28
  look full or floppy like we
• 39:29
  talked last week
• 39:31
  No, it looks full,
• 39:32
  but I don't know how heavy it is.
• 39:33
  I don't think it's going to
• 39:34
  be ridiculously heavy.
• 39:36
  They're sprinting with it.
• 39:37
  You don't want them
• 39:38
  necessarily face-planting too.
• 39:42
  As you do, that's the fun.
• 39:46
  You still want a sprint event.
• 39:51
  Clock says you can bite the
• 39:54
  point of the star for additional support.
• 39:57
  I wonder...
• 39:59
  But I wonder how, like, if you can hold it,
• 40:02
  let's say on your shoulder,
• 40:05
  just different ways,
• 40:06
  like have it here and
• 40:08
  you're just holding the top
• 40:09
  like this as you're running.
• 40:10
  And it would be interesting
• 40:13
  whether they have it in the
• 40:14
  warmup area or not.
• 40:15
  And it's just like,
• 40:15
  you guys don't get to touch it.
• 40:17
  You guys get to touch it on
• 40:18
  the field and figure out
• 40:19
  how you want to run with it.
• 40:21
  That would be interesting.
• 40:23
  Wrong one.
• 40:25
  Definitely easier, but cool.
• 40:29
  I'll tell you what.
• 40:30
  Again,
• 40:30
  I volunteered at Outdoor Field in 17,
• 40:33
  so I had to go pick up the cheese curds.
• 40:36
  It's just a sandbag,
• 40:37
  but it painted yellow and
• 40:38
  called a cheese curd.
• 40:39
  Just made it look cooler.
• 40:42
  It just was.
• 40:43
  It was no different than
• 40:45
  your normal everyday sandbag.
• 40:51
  Always got to be creative, right?
• 40:53
  Yeah.
• 40:53
  I like it.
• 40:54
  I think it takes the arm length out of
• 40:59
  I mean that the benefit of
• 41:00
  the people with the longer
• 41:01
  wingspan and it's just your strength.
• 41:07
  Yeah.
• 41:08
  It'll be interesting to see
• 41:09
  how they let them hold it for sure.
• 41:11
  How was Trista holding it?
• 41:12
  Like underneath the, the points or.
• 41:16
  Yeah, just, just underneath like this.
• 41:18
  And then there was another picture.
• 41:20
  I think it was Katie
• 41:21
  Henninger and she just had
• 41:22
  it on her shoulder.
• 41:22
  Oh yeah.
• 41:24
  But she's a boss.
• 41:25
  Like she can do whatever she wants.
• 41:30
  She's just one of the
• 41:31
  coolest ladies I've ever met in my life.
• 41:35
  When I worked, when I did the rogue,
• 41:37
  I had like some Penn state
• 41:38
  stuff on and they were
• 41:39
  playing Ohio state that day.
• 41:41
  She relentlessly came after me like hard.
• 41:51
  So now let's hit the, the teams.
• 41:54
  All right.
• 41:55
  Massive research to come up
• 41:56
  with our top five teams.
• 41:59
  and sure um and so I'm gonna
• 42:03
  pull those up I gotta see
• 42:05
  how this is gonna work uh
• 42:09
  well I think we'll do jamie
• 42:10
  first okay here we go top
• 42:19
  five teams at the crossfit
• 42:21
  games okay I have fifth eighth day
• 42:26
  Fourth, Mayhem, just CrossFit Mayhem.
• 42:29
  They took out Independence.
• 42:30
  Why you got that?
• 42:31
  I don't know.
• 42:32
  Because I was overachieving.
• 42:34
  And then I realized they
• 42:35
  took it off the leaderboard.
• 42:37
  Third, the Prestanda Krieger team.
• 42:41
  Second, Invictus.
• 42:43
  And first, Peak360.
• 42:47
  So my big question on this
• 42:50
  is the Krieger team.
• 42:51
  Why that one as opposed to
• 42:53
  the other seven?
• 42:55
  I know.
• 42:56
  I don't know.
• 42:58
  They just seem like... Isn't
• 42:59
  that the longest standing team?
• 43:03
  Isn't that the... I don't know.
• 43:07
  Well,
• 43:07
  they kind of broke up because... Yeah.
• 43:13
  What's her name is with Peak.
• 43:15
  Right.
• 43:17
  But when I was looking at the teams,
• 43:19
  did you see Kristen Holt is
• 43:20
  listed on one of the teams?
• 43:23
  I think she's...
• 43:25
  She's probably the alternate.
• 43:26
  Yeah.
• 43:27
  But how cool would it be for
• 43:29
  her to roll out the tunnel
• 43:30
  on that first event and
• 43:33
  make the major comeback?
• 43:35
  That would be amazing.
• 43:38
  She is one fit lady.
• 43:39
  Holy cow.
• 43:39
  Yeah, I don't know.
• 43:42
  I just think that I had them
• 43:45
  written down the names of
• 43:47
  the people on that team.
• 43:48
  I don't know where that list
• 43:49
  is right this second.
• 43:51
  But that was the group that I thought
• 43:55
  I like the eighth day.
• 43:58
  Eighth day across it.
• 44:00
  I know.
• 44:01
  Does Danielle Dunlop, is she in that one?
• 44:04
  Yes, she is.
• 44:06
  Mm-hmm.
• 44:08
  So, Clark,
• 44:08
  I think that Prislanda Krieger
• 44:11
  is what was Navy Blue.
• 44:14
  Correct.
• 44:16
  And I did look at the names,
• 44:17
  and they did look familiar to me.
• 44:18
  Mm-hmm.
• 44:19
  but the Norwegian names are
• 44:21
  not easy to read and not to
• 44:23
  like differentiate without
• 44:25
  knowing the language is very hard.
• 44:31
  Yeah.
• 44:33
  So why peak three 60?
• 44:34
  I just think they're going to win.
• 44:38
  I, I think,
• 44:39
  I think Noah's the twosome of
• 44:44
  Noah and Tola,
• 44:46
  I just think is unstoppable.
• 44:47
  Yeah.
• 44:49
  I think there might be
• 44:50
  better girls on other teams,
• 44:53
  but I just think Tola and
• 44:55
  Noah are insane.
• 44:58
  See,
• 44:59
  I think their girls make the difference.
• 45:01
  I think their girls are great.
• 45:04
  They're great.
• 45:05
  But so is like, I think, I mean,
• 45:07
  I think Hannah Black and
• 45:11
  Emily Rethwell duo will be
• 45:13
  an incredible duo.
• 45:16
  I don't think they're any
• 45:17
  better than Mathilde Garnas
• 45:20
  and... I'm blanking on the
• 45:23
  name right now.
• 45:28
  See, you don't even know her name.
• 45:30
  Yes, the one... She's super strong.
• 45:34
  Yes, she was.
• 45:35
  The blonde.
• 45:39
  I think that duo is very, very strong.
• 45:42
  But this Invictus team is
• 45:43
  not Hannah Black and...
• 45:45
  No.
• 45:46
  Okay.
• 45:47
  No, that's the unconquerable.
• 45:49
  I have them in like seventh.
• 45:51
  I wrote a list out to like 10th place,
• 45:52
  but... Because this
• 45:53
  Invictus is Lauren Fisher.
• 45:55
  Lena Richter.
• 45:55
  Good call.
• 45:57
  Yeah.
• 45:58
  This Invictus is Lauren
• 46:00
  Fisher and Jesse Smith.
• 46:04
  Smith.
• 46:07
  Yeah.
• 46:08
  So...
• 46:09
  But I know that I called you
• 46:11
  a homer when you sent me
• 46:13
  the eighth day because
• 46:14
  they're the Michigan team.
• 46:16
  Correct.
• 46:17
  You know them really well.
• 46:18
  And what makes you think
• 46:21
  that they're going to
• 46:21
  compete and make the top five?
• 46:25
  Because I don't think you're wrong.
• 46:26
  I just... I mean, if I was being honest,
• 46:29
  I probably would put them in sixth,
• 46:31
  but I want them on here to
• 46:33
  be talked about.
• 46:35
  I think...
• 46:36
  I mean, their guys are really strong.
• 46:38
  Dylan's incredibly strong.
• 46:40
  And if you watch them at semis,
• 46:44
  their strength,
• 46:45
  their power output in the
• 46:46
  machines is... Because they
• 46:48
  were first or second in
• 46:50
  that machine workout.
• 46:52
  Their running is incredible.
• 46:54
  Rachel is like...
• 46:56
  she's an incredibly aerobic
• 46:58
  enduring athlete, but like I would,
• 47:02
  I would say she's like me,
• 47:03
  but way stronger.
• 47:05
  Um, so I think she's just,
• 47:07
  she's just incredibly enduring,
• 47:09
  good runner, good swimmer,
• 47:11
  incredible gymnastics on her fatigue.
• 47:15
  Well,
• 47:15
  I'm going to go ahead and share
• 47:16
  Carolyn's and it's going to
• 47:17
  be so much different.
• 47:22
  Uh, there we go.
• 47:27
  So in fifth, I have CrossFit Walleye.
• 47:30
  So that's Jamie Simmons and
• 47:34
  Elliot with Mia and Laura
• 47:37
  Horvath's brother.
• 47:39
  That's what he's always
• 47:40
  going to be known to me.
• 47:43
  Team CrossFit Mayhem.
• 47:45
  I think they'll have a great year.
• 47:47
  Mayhem Thunder in third.
• 47:51
  And Invictus and Peak360.
• 47:53
  I think it's going to be
• 47:54
  very close between Peak360 and Invictus.
• 47:58
  I don't think it's going to
• 47:59
  be one until the last event.
• 48:00
  I think both teams have some
• 48:04
  extremely fit individuals.
• 48:07
  Both teams have been working
• 48:08
  together all year long,
• 48:10
  which isn't always the case for teams.
• 48:13
  I think all of these teams
• 48:14
  here are going to be very
• 48:16
  good at the games.
• 48:20
  I think teams have been
• 48:21
  getting a lot of negative
• 48:23
  press over the last year.
• 48:25
  And I think this could be
• 48:26
  one of the best top fives
• 48:28
  we see in a very long time.
• 48:33
  So I'll go ahead and pull mine up.
• 48:43
  So my top five is Walleye in fifth,
• 48:47
  Unconquerable in fourth, Mayhem in third,
• 48:52
  Peak360 second, Invictus in first.
• 48:59
  So I picked Invictus over
• 49:01
  Peak360 because we couldn't
• 49:04
  have three of the exact same.
• 49:07
  Which killed me so hard
• 49:09
  because Mathilde has a
• 49:11
  special place in my heart
• 49:12
  and always will.
• 49:15
  And I love that girl.
• 49:17
  And I want, I really,
• 49:19
  I used to not be a Noah fan.
• 49:21
  And then I got to meet him
• 49:22
  and I got to know him.
• 49:24
  And now I want him to get a win.
• 49:27
  I really do.
• 49:28
  But I'm picking Invictus
• 49:29
  just because I want it to
• 49:30
  be different because I
• 49:32
  think they are very, very similar.
• 49:34
  And I think that Jessie
• 49:35
  Smith doesn't get the do she deserves.
• 49:38
  She is really freaking fit.
• 49:41
  She is.
• 49:43
  And if Lauren Fisher is the
• 49:46
  Lauren Fisher we saw in the
• 49:48
  offseason at Lake Rogue,
• 49:50
  I think they will do really, really well.
• 49:55
  And I think Mayhem,
• 49:57
  after two years together
• 49:58
  and only having to change one person out,
• 50:01
  is two years of working
• 50:02
  together and is going to do them very,
• 50:04
  very well.
• 50:05
  And then Unconquerable,
• 50:08
  I think at this point
• 50:10
  there's so many good teams.
• 50:12
  They looked really good at the West Coast.
• 50:14
  uh, with Hannah black and breath.
• 50:17
  Well,
• 50:17
  and I think they're going to do well
• 50:19
  as the, and the men are,
• 50:22
  are semifinal athletes that
• 50:24
  I got to know through the
• 50:25
  interview process.
• 50:27
  So a little bit of heart
• 50:28
  pick here as well.
• 50:29
  And, uh, while I,
• 50:31
  I went with them over
• 50:33
  mayhem thunder just because of age.
• 50:38
  Um, and it's more the age of the men.
• 50:40
  Um,
• 50:43
  Khan and James Newberry.
• 50:47
  I think they've seen a
• 50:53
  better day as an athlete.
• 50:55
  They're both phenomenal athletes.
• 50:57
  It's just the competition's
• 50:58
  really tough at this point.
• 51:00
  So that's why I went with
• 51:01
  Walleye over them.
• 51:07
  And
• 51:08
  julian's asking why did only
• 51:09
  one person pick mayhem
• 51:10
  thunder and I just gave you
• 51:11
  my reason why because it's
• 51:14
  the men I i would never
• 51:17
  pick against cara if she
• 51:19
  had uh stronger men on her
• 51:21
  team uh but yeah yeah I had
• 51:27
  him higher I moved him down
• 51:28
  so I could put eighth day
• 51:29
  on um I'm really curious to
• 51:31
  see how the torian team
• 51:33
  does too with royce
• 51:36
  yeah I was going back and
• 51:38
  forth between that one and
• 51:40
  cross at walleye I really
• 51:41
  like the walleye team um I
• 51:43
  just feel like there's been
• 51:45
  a lot of injuries in the
• 51:46
  past you know competitions
• 51:48
  with like jamie and even
• 51:50
  elliott staying healthy so
• 51:53
  that's why I was cons like
• 51:54
  conflicting grabbing the um
• 51:57
  The other Torian team.
• 52:00
  Both of them went with Walleye.
• 52:02
  Yeah, Mia is so good.
• 52:04
  Yeah, Mia is so strong.
• 52:07
  Her gymnastics is great too.
• 52:10
  Yeah, that team is really, really good.
• 52:14
  I would have loved to seen
• 52:16
  Royce on Kara's team.
• 52:18
  I think it would have been
• 52:19
  an incredible team.
• 52:21
  Yeah.
• 52:21
  If I asked his Royce's team in the running,
• 52:23
  I would have loved,
• 52:25
  I w I love Royce and I love,
• 52:27
  and if the two of them were together,
• 52:29
  definitely give them a
• 52:30
  better shot in the top five for sure.
• 52:34
  And I love con and James too.
• 52:36
  Like they're some of the
• 52:37
  most fun guys to talk to.
• 52:39
  Super nice, super polite.
• 52:40
  Every time I run into him,
• 52:42
  just great dudes.
• 52:44
  And, um,
• 52:46
  I D I just think that they haven't
• 52:49
  focused on CrossFit as much
• 52:50
  and cons been hurt a ton
• 52:53
  the last few years.
• 52:55
  Like when he was on Annie's team,
• 52:56
  his back was a mess.
• 53:01
  So, yeah.
• 53:04
  Yeah,
• 53:04
  the Aussies could put together a team
• 53:06
  that would be unreal if
• 53:10
  they would just kind of
• 53:11
  band together and do that.
• 53:15
  I guess I don't know how
• 53:16
  close they live to each other.
• 53:18
  True, true.
• 53:20
  You think of it as a small island,
• 53:21
  but it's like six hours
• 53:22
  across or something like that.
• 53:25
  Jonathan says, but they have car as quads.
• 53:31
  I just think their
• 53:31
  experience is going to prevail.
• 53:33
  I think they don't have as
• 53:34
  much pressure on them
• 53:35
  because they're just kind
• 53:36
  of like they're going,
• 53:37
  they're going to have fun.
• 53:39
  You know, they're good friends.
• 53:41
  They have good chemistry.
• 53:42
  I just think they've been at
• 53:44
  the game so many times and
• 53:47
  they're going to step up
• 53:49
  and I think they'll podium.
• 53:52
  Yeah, it's funny.
• 53:53
  That experience thing is
• 53:54
  crazy because I've been
• 53:56
  doing all these Masters
• 53:56
  interviews and a lot of them are rookies.
• 53:59
  A lot of them are going for
• 54:00
  the first time.
• 54:01
  And the people that aren't,
• 54:02
  I've asked them,
• 54:02
  what's the advice you would
• 54:03
  give to a rookie?
• 54:04
  And every one of them is like,
• 54:07
  I was so overwhelmed that first year,
• 54:08
  I didn't enjoy it.
• 54:09
  I didn't take it in.
• 54:10
  I didn't look around.
• 54:12
  I didn't realize I was at
• 54:14
  this really cool thing.
• 54:15
  And some of the younger athletes, I think,
• 54:18
  are going to have that same thing.
• 54:20
  where that one, the peak, the Invictus,
• 54:25
  and the Thunder team will
• 54:26
  not be fazed by that at all.
• 54:30
  Right.
• 54:34
  So, okay.
• 54:41
  Did you like how I used the
• 54:42
  bobbleheads in our graphics this week?
• 54:46
  I didn't even see it.
• 54:48
  You didn't see your
• 54:49
  bobblehead beside the top on your name?
• 54:52
  Uh-uh.
• 54:54
  Oh, I closed him down.
• 54:56
  Aw.
• 54:58
  Well, I'll put him on IG,
• 54:59
  so you'll see him there.
• 55:00
  Okay.
• 55:02
  All right.
• 55:04
  So the next thing on the
• 55:05
  agenda is Mike Halpin put
• 55:08
  together this concept of
• 55:11
  how to give points for the
• 55:14
  training camp award.
• 55:17
  And
• 55:18
  With it, it also kind of allows,
• 55:20
  if you're not with a training camp,
• 55:21
  to kind of be lumped
• 55:22
  together as one as well.
• 55:27
  So let me share this.
• 55:34
  So the way it would work is
• 55:36
  it's like a medal table,
• 55:37
  just like the Olympics.
• 55:40
  And you would count up the gold, silvers,
• 55:43
  and bronze from each event
• 55:46
  throughout the weekend.
• 55:49
  So event one, Mayhem takes gold,
• 55:52
  Brute takes silver,
• 55:54
  and Krypton takes bronze.
• 55:56
  You get a check in each one
• 55:58
  of your columns.
• 55:59
  Then event two comes,
• 56:01
  and Underdogs takes gold,
• 56:02
  Training Think Tank takes silver,
• 56:05
  and HWPO takes bronze.
• 56:06
  You get a check in your column.
• 56:14
  So initial...
• 56:16
  what are your thoughts on
• 56:17
  this as opposed to kind of
• 56:19
  the other concepts we heard
• 56:20
  of where at the end of the weekend,
• 56:23
  you get a point for where
• 56:24
  you finish like a point for
• 56:27
  first two points for second.
• 56:29
  And it's a golf score, low score wins.
• 56:33
  I like this idea.
• 56:34
  I mean,
• 56:36
  I think this is kind of cool to
• 56:38
  track throughout the week.
• 56:40
  And yeah,
• 56:43
  I'd be curious where this,
• 56:46
  how it plays out as to just first, second,
• 56:49
  third or whatever and
• 56:50
  giving places if it really
• 56:52
  matters a whole lot.
• 56:53
  Like is the top training
• 56:54
  camp going to be the top
• 56:55
  training camp no matter what?
• 56:56
  Probably.
• 57:00
  It was Caroline Lombre that
• 57:03
  came up with this,
• 57:04
  probably because Jeff Adler
• 57:05
  doesn't have a training camp.
• 57:07
  I don't even like the word
• 57:08
  training camp because
• 57:09
  there's not many people
• 57:10
  that are at camps versus training program,
• 57:12
  I think was probably what
• 57:13
  Dave was referring to
• 57:15
  versus an actual camp where people train.
• 57:19
  But I like this idea that
• 57:21
  anyone could train.
• 57:23
  you know participate whether
• 57:24
  you're at your garage gym
• 57:26
  like ariel to you know
• 57:28
  mayhem having multiple
• 57:30
  athletes um be competing
• 57:33
  and just you know tally the
• 57:35
  scores per event um whether
• 57:37
  you want to represent your
• 57:39
  gym like your affiliate or
• 57:41
  a training program because
• 57:42
  you could be an affiliate
• 57:42
  but you're following
• 57:44
  another training program so
• 57:46
  whatever you want to represent
• 57:48
  would put there I think it's
• 57:49
  um it's a cool idea I
• 57:52
  thought that that was neat
• 57:54
  would would you put teams
• 57:56
  in this too or is this for
• 57:59
  individual only I think
• 58:02
  individual only so many
• 58:08
  teams I don't have a
• 58:09
  problem either way except
• 58:11
  for that yeah there's so
• 58:13
  many like I think like four
• 58:15
  of the I mean you have two
• 58:16
  of the invictus teams
• 58:19
  one underdogs team and then
• 58:21
  like four four or five
• 58:23
  mayhem teams I just think
• 58:26
  it's hard because some
• 58:27
  sometimes on teams they
• 58:28
  don't even follow the same
• 58:29
  program like they like 13
• 58:31
  it's their team name really
• 58:33
  um I think you would have
• 58:35
  you if you really want to
• 58:36
  do a team you just had a
• 58:37
  separate leaderboard for
• 58:38
  the teams for first second
• 58:39
  and third on events yeah I
• 58:41
  don't think it I don't
• 58:41
  think it would belong in
• 58:42
  this type of leaderboard
• 58:44
  just the individuals
• 58:47
  So then he also flipped it
• 58:48
  over to countries.
• 58:53
  Why not do a medal count
• 58:55
  just like we do for the Olympics?
• 58:57
  So Canada has some really
• 59:02
  good men athletes right now.
• 59:05
  And women.
• 59:06
  Our women are crushing it.
• 59:11
  And as a Canadian, Carolyn,
• 59:13
  wouldn't you want to see how you stack up
• 59:16
  a medal count against the
• 59:17
  world like I think I think
• 59:19
  this actually has probably
• 59:20
  more traction because it
• 59:22
  means more to the athlete
• 59:24
  than even the training camp
• 59:26
  yeah or am I wrong I think
• 59:31
  I think both have good like
• 59:32
  the athletes can have pride
• 59:33
  in their country and then
• 59:35
  also representing
• 59:37
  their affiliate because, or their training,
• 59:40
  their personal training program,
• 59:41
  because I think, you know,
• 59:42
  when you're representing your country,
• 59:43
  it's one thing, but also putting your, um,
• 59:47
  your company or your,
• 59:48
  your brand out there can be beneficial.
• 59:51
  So if people are like, oh, you know,
• 59:53
  Ariel's gym or just a random wonderland,
• 59:56
  right?
• 59:56
  Like cross it, run it with wonderland.
• 59:58
  And then you just start
• 59:58
  seeing all the points for that.
• 59:59
  And it just gives good reputation to, um,
• 1:00:03
  that affiliate.
• 1:00:06
  I like both.
• 1:00:07
  I like both ideas.
• 1:00:09
  If I were a betting man,
• 1:00:10
  I would say that Halpin
• 1:00:11
  probably will run this
• 1:00:12
  through the games in both ways,
• 1:00:14
  and we'll actually see what
• 1:00:15
  it looks like at the end.
• 1:00:17
  And really, that's all we really need.
• 1:00:19
  We don't need to give a prize for it.
• 1:00:22
  I think for spectators,
• 1:00:23
  it'd be really cool to see.
• 1:00:25
  Yeah, I like this.
• 1:00:26
  Easy to follow.
• 1:00:28
  It's a cool idea.
• 1:00:29
  Yeah.
• 1:00:33
  Very cool.
• 1:00:35
  Good job, Mike.
• 1:00:37
  Would it be more interesting
• 1:00:42
  with the countries or with
• 1:00:43
  the regions and be like
• 1:00:45
  North America East is
• 1:00:46
  dominating in these top threes?
• 1:00:49
  Because that's when you
• 1:00:50
  start looking at points
• 1:00:51
  allocations or number of
• 1:00:53
  allocation for spots and
• 1:00:55
  stuff and be like,
• 1:00:56
  look at how many the East
• 1:00:58
  or Europe is running away.
• 1:01:00
  I think that would be interesting.
• 1:01:02
  Even though it's just top three,
• 1:01:03
  I think that could also be
• 1:01:07
  another leaderboard that, um,
• 1:01:09
  helping makes.
• 1:01:12
  Yeah.
• 1:01:12
  Or we could get Holly on this.
• 1:01:14
  There you go.
• 1:01:15
  We'd know it and be able to
• 1:01:16
  talk about it throughout the weekend.
• 1:01:19
  Um,
• 1:01:19
  the different ways and maybe that
• 1:01:22
  you're right.
• 1:01:23
  It's only top three,
• 1:01:23
  but maybe it lends itself a
• 1:01:25
  little bit to the strength of region and,
• 1:01:28
  and how much,
• 1:01:29
  how many places it should get.
• 1:01:32
  Who knows?
• 1:01:34
  At this point,
• 1:01:34
  it's just data that would be cool to see,
• 1:01:36
  I think, regardless of prize or whatever.
• 1:01:44
  We're actually coming to the
• 1:01:44
  end of the show,
• 1:01:45
  which is pretty quick for
• 1:01:46
  us on Games Week,
• 1:01:48
  but not a lot's happened this weekend,
• 1:01:50
  so we're good.
• 1:01:53
  I think it came out this afternoon.
• 1:01:54
  Carolyn sent us a DM about
• 1:01:57
  John Woolley had a
• 1:02:01
  a video that went up on his
• 1:02:03
  constantly varied conversations.
• 1:02:06
  And he talks about the
• 1:02:07
  expectations before you get to the games,
• 1:02:10
  what happens when you get to the games,
• 1:02:12
  and then he had like a rant at the end.
• 1:02:15
  And specifically about the rant,
• 1:02:17
  it was that Dave is using
• 1:02:21
  his personal Instagram
• 1:02:23
  account to make CrossFit
• 1:02:25
  Games announcements.
• 1:02:28
  And
• 1:02:29
  Wooley said, I, for one,
• 1:02:31
  am blocked from those announcements.
• 1:02:34
  And if he initiates it and
• 1:02:36
  collaborates with CrossFit
• 1:02:38
  Games and whoever else,
• 1:02:41
  because he initiates it,
• 1:02:42
  the people that he has
• 1:02:44
  blocked cannot see those posts,
• 1:02:47
  regardless of who it's collaborated with.
• 1:02:51
  Should CrossFit be using his
• 1:02:55
  personal Instagram account
• 1:02:58
  for CrossFit games news?
• 1:03:04
  I mean,
• 1:03:04
  if that's the route they want to take,
• 1:03:05
  he needs to unblock everybody.
• 1:03:07
  It needs to be,
• 1:03:10
  that needs to be completely open.
• 1:03:15
  Why does he have people blocked?
• 1:03:16
  I don't understand.
• 1:03:22
  Carolyn,
• 1:03:22
  do you have thoughts or you want to pass?
• 1:03:25
  I mean, I kind of agree.
• 1:03:26
  Like everyone should have access to the,
• 1:03:28
  to the information, all the hints,
• 1:03:30
  everything.
• 1:03:34
  So whether it's making
• 1:03:35
  another account or not sure
• 1:03:39
  what the solution is there.
• 1:03:40
  Cause I didn't know that
• 1:03:41
  about like if CrossFit
• 1:03:43
  games shared that people
• 1:03:46
  would be able to see, like,
• 1:03:46
  I didn't even cross my mind.
• 1:03:49
  that that was a problem with
• 1:03:50
  um people that were blocked
• 1:03:54
  so I just thought it was
• 1:03:55
  interesting I was like oh I
• 1:03:57
  didn't look at it from that
• 1:03:58
  way so john young says
• 1:04:01
  wooly is a rough listen
• 1:04:02
  that's personal opinion um
• 1:04:05
  I'm blocked from 2019 I
• 1:04:07
  just made a different
• 1:04:08
  account so I can see
• 1:04:08
  important things and that's
• 1:04:10
  great that you were able to
• 1:04:11
  do that but we shouldn't
• 1:04:12
  have to do that right
• 1:04:15
  especially if you're an
• 1:04:16
  athlete and you happen to get blocked,
• 1:04:18
  like as an athlete,
• 1:04:20
  you should get the
• 1:04:20
  information along with
• 1:04:22
  every other athlete or have
• 1:04:24
  access to that information
• 1:04:26
  the same as every other athlete.
• 1:04:33
  John asked if I gave event
• 1:04:34
  four a go and no, I didn't yet.
• 1:04:39
  I did think it was
• 1:04:40
  interesting that the
• 1:04:41
  females had 30 cows to 50,
• 1:04:43
  but I think that that's
• 1:04:44
  smart because there's the
• 1:04:45
  same amount of rope climbs
• 1:04:47
  for the men and 25 rope
• 1:04:49
  climbs for men versus 25
• 1:04:51
  rope climbs for the females
• 1:04:52
  is not the same.
• 1:04:54
  So I think that going a
• 1:04:56
  little bit lower on the cows is smarter,
• 1:05:00
  especially because some of
• 1:05:00
  the men can really pull
• 1:05:01
  that skier much more than the females,
• 1:05:05
  but I will have to give it a go.
• 1:05:08
  Jonathan Ortega,
• 1:05:09
  the same with all socials.
• 1:05:10
  It's his personal account.
• 1:05:11
  He can put out whatever he wants.
• 1:05:13
  It just so happens he puts
• 1:05:14
  out CrossFit info.
• 1:05:17
  I get it that you're allowed
• 1:05:18
  to put whatever you want on
• 1:05:19
  your own social media account,
• 1:05:21
  but if you are giving
• 1:05:22
  official CrossFit Games information,
• 1:05:25
  it's probably that he
• 1:05:26
  doesn't even know when he
• 1:05:27
  collaborates with the games
• 1:05:29
  that his blocks carry over.
• 1:05:32
  I'm betting he doesn't even know.
• 1:05:33
  Yeah.
• 1:05:35
  I didn't know that until today.
• 1:05:41
  So John says in 2019,
• 1:05:45
  he went on a blocking rampage.
• 1:05:47
  I may or may not have
• 1:05:48
  commented on the
• 1:05:49
  programming leading up to the cuts.
• 1:05:51
  This was before I was ever on a podcast.
• 1:05:55
  Yeah.
• 1:05:55
  I mean, that just seems spiteful.
• 1:05:57
  Like for,
• 1:06:01
  I just don't think he needs to
• 1:06:03
  black anybody like you
• 1:06:05
  black people so that you
• 1:06:06
  don't see their stories.
• 1:06:10
  Right.
• 1:06:12
  That's why I would block
• 1:06:12
  somebody if I didn't want
• 1:06:13
  to see their stuff anymore.
• 1:06:15
  You don't want to see their comments.
• 1:06:16
  That's why you block someone.
• 1:06:22
  You don't want to see their
• 1:06:23
  comments on your stuff anymore.
• 1:06:27
  And he can block whoever he wants.
• 1:06:29
  I could give two shits about
• 1:06:30
  who he blocks.
• 1:06:31
  My point is, he runs the CrossFit Games.
• 1:06:34
  The CrossFit Games has an
• 1:06:36
  Instagram account.
• 1:06:37
  If you're going to release stuff that's
• 1:06:40
  information to the athletes,
• 1:06:42
  it should be released on
• 1:06:45
  the game site and then
• 1:06:46
  collaborated with Dave.
• 1:06:49
  Yeah.
• 1:06:50
  If he wants to keep doing it
• 1:06:52
  so that the unblocked,
• 1:06:53
  so the unblocked people
• 1:06:54
  following the CrossFit game
• 1:06:55
  site get that information
• 1:06:58
  and he can still have them
• 1:06:58
  blocked on his personal account.
• 1:07:09
  So,
• 1:07:12
  that just, and maybe they fixed that.
• 1:07:14
  Maybe he didn't even know
• 1:07:15
  this existed in this way.
• 1:07:18
  Like that, that was the,
• 1:07:20
  the way that Instagram works.
• 1:07:22
  Cause I did, I did not know that.
• 1:07:24
  I just think you should unblock everybody.
• 1:07:34
  If it's his personal account,
• 1:07:35
  I think he can do whatever
• 1:07:36
  he wants to do.
• 1:07:38
  But if you're putting out
• 1:07:39
  CrossFit Games information,
• 1:07:40
  it needs to be available to everyone.
• 1:07:42
  So either you choose to
• 1:07:44
  unblock and keep posting it there,
• 1:07:46
  or you move it to the
• 1:07:47
  CrossFit Games IG account
• 1:07:49
  where people can see.
• 1:07:52
  Yes, one or the other.
• 1:07:54
  So...
• 1:07:56
  a couple quick hitters to go
• 1:07:57
  um waterpalooza socal has
• 1:08:01
  announced the swag that the
• 1:08:04
  competitors are getting as
• 1:08:05
  well as uh the volunteers
• 1:08:10
  um competitors if you sign
• 1:08:11
  up for any of the community
• 1:08:13
  events you get a shirt you
• 1:08:15
  get some shoes and you get
• 1:08:17
  some sunglasses
• 1:08:21
  Volunteers get a couple hats,
• 1:08:22
  a couple pairs of sunglasses, some shoes,
• 1:08:25
  and it looks like a lot of shirts.
• 1:08:28
  Did we figure out the options?
• 1:08:35
  From what I'm seeing, it's not options.
• 1:08:37
  It is, this is the package.
• 1:08:47
  I didn't see that.
• 1:08:51
  I mean,
• 1:08:51
  I think it's great that here's
• 1:08:53
  giving these packages of
• 1:08:56
  shoes and shirts and, you know,
• 1:08:57
  10 sunglasses for all the events.
• 1:09:01
  I don't know that I need all
• 1:09:03
  those sunglasses as an athlete,
• 1:09:04
  but pretty cool.
• 1:09:06
  Maybe they're trying to get
• 1:09:07
  rid of some inventory, but it's great.
• 1:09:10
  It's great that the
• 1:09:11
  volunteers are getting all of that.
• 1:09:13
  I mean,
• 1:09:13
  I was going to say you probably
• 1:09:15
  need a change of clothes,
• 1:09:16
  but this is the SoCal one, right?
• 1:09:18
  Yeah.
• 1:09:19
  So it's not the,
• 1:09:20
  the raining Florida that
• 1:09:22
  you might need all that change of clothes,
• 1:09:24
  but I mean, you might be sweating a lot.
• 1:09:26
  So yeah, I like it.
• 1:09:30
  Yeah.
• 1:09:30
  I, when I was a volunteer,
• 1:09:32
  like you're sweating just
• 1:09:34
  as much as an athlete,
• 1:09:35
  a change of shirt would be
• 1:09:37
  really cool throughout and
• 1:09:39
  have a couple for the
• 1:09:40
  weekend and not have to go
• 1:09:41
  do laundry would be great.
• 1:09:44
  Yeah.
• 1:09:48
  maybe you want to color
• 1:09:49
  coordinate your sunglasses
• 1:09:56
  um so then the last couple
• 1:09:58
  things we have on the
• 1:09:59
  agenda are from the masters world
• 1:10:03
  Quick hitters,
• 1:10:05
  Marcia Van Gleinen-Weigel
• 1:10:08
  was disqualified from the
• 1:10:10
  Masters CrossFit Games.
• 1:10:12
  She had failed a drug test
• 1:10:13
  back in 2021 during the
• 1:10:14
  European Masters
• 1:10:15
  Weightlifting Championships.
• 1:10:17
  This news was broken by barbell spin,
• 1:10:20
  and she went on a rampage
• 1:10:21
  blaming barbell spin for
• 1:10:23
  her being disqualified from
• 1:10:24
  the CrossFit Games.
• 1:10:29
  It wasn't the barbell spin
• 1:10:30
  that failed a drug test,
• 1:10:32
  and it didn't hold a
• 1:10:33
  competition in which she
• 1:10:34
  did fail it where she could
• 1:10:36
  appeal to him.
• 1:10:38
  So I don't know how she
• 1:10:39
  makes that correlation,
• 1:10:41
  but she has been removed.
• 1:10:42
  She was in the 55 to 59-year-old division.
• 1:10:51
  And then she made fun of
• 1:10:52
  Spin's squats on his thrusters,
• 1:10:55
  which no call for that.
• 1:11:00
  Yeah.
• 1:11:01
  If she's going down,
• 1:11:02
  she wanted to make sure
• 1:11:03
  everyone was going down.
• 1:11:04
  She's like, you called me out.
• 1:11:07
  I'll find anything on you
• 1:11:09
  and call you out.
• 1:11:10
  Yeah.
• 1:11:13
  She tried to kill her from a
• 1:11:15
  bad perspective.
• 1:11:17
  I mean, to her credit,
• 1:11:19
  I think Brian can go lower
• 1:11:22
  on his thrusters.
• 1:11:24
  So I will agree with that.
• 1:11:27
  But it doesn't justify a failed drug test.
• 1:11:29
  And she wasn't set up for a
• 1:11:32
  failed drug test like she
• 1:11:34
  was insinuating.
• 1:11:36
  Yeah.
• 1:11:37
  And it doesn't... Brian's
• 1:11:39
  squat depth does not stop
• 1:11:40
  the fact that he is the one
• 1:11:41
  breaking news left and
• 1:11:42
  right in this world and is
• 1:11:44
  really good at it.
• 1:11:45
  And...
• 1:11:47
  And he just broke the news
• 1:11:49
  that she had committed.
• 1:11:52
  Um, and she knew she failed that test.
• 1:11:54
  Like when you sign up for the games,
• 1:11:55
  you know, that's on your record.
• 1:11:59
  All right.
• 1:12:00
  So then the other thing that,
• 1:12:02
  that barbell spin broke
• 1:12:03
  this week was the backfill
• 1:12:05
  process that got all janky
• 1:12:07
  in the 35 to 39 year old division.
• 1:12:11
  So the way this plays out is
• 1:12:14
  Jasmine Sheehan qualifies
• 1:12:15
  for the CrossFit Games as a
• 1:12:16
  Masters athlete.
• 1:12:17
  She's also on a team.
• 1:12:19
  She declines her invitation
• 1:12:22
  to the Masters CrossFit
• 1:12:23
  Games because she's going team.
• 1:12:26
  Right after that,
• 1:12:28
  Chantal Bouchard receives an email saying,
• 1:12:32
  be prepared.
• 1:12:33
  You're the next one up if
• 1:12:35
  someone else declines or
• 1:12:37
  something else happens.
• 1:12:41
  Jasmine's teammate pops for PEDs,
• 1:12:45
  and they become ineligible
• 1:12:46
  to go to the CrossFit Games on a team.
• 1:12:49
  She notifies CrossFit that
• 1:12:50
  she wants to rescind her decline.
• 1:12:55
  Jamie Hygieia then hurts her
• 1:12:56
  shoulder and has to
• 1:12:58
  withdraw from the CrossFit Games.
• 1:13:00
  The backfill spot goes to
• 1:13:02
  Jasmine after declining
• 1:13:05
  instead of Chantal.
• 1:13:11
  I think this is criminal.
• 1:13:14
  I just am wondering why the
• 1:13:18
  heck they all of a sudden
• 1:13:19
  this year are trying to
• 1:13:21
  backfill up to 40th place
• 1:13:22
  when last year they had
• 1:13:24
  plenty of time to backfill
• 1:13:26
  China chose spot and did
• 1:13:28
  not choose to do any
• 1:13:30
  legwork to fill that spot.
• 1:13:33
  Because it's not the
• 1:13:33
  CrossFit Games running, it's the Masters,
• 1:13:37
  and they'll take the most
• 1:13:39
  amount of people to fill
• 1:13:40
  for the money-wise.
• 1:13:42
  I know both athletes.
• 1:13:43
  I'm good friends with Jasmine.
• 1:13:47
  It's an unfortunate
• 1:13:49
  circumstance that I think
• 1:13:52
  she should have accepted
• 1:13:53
  both if I was in her position.
• 1:13:55
  I get it costs money,
• 1:13:58
  but once she had qualified for a team,
• 1:14:03
  Her sole focus was the team
• 1:14:05
  CrossFit Games.
• 1:14:07
  Later on, they did pop, like,
• 1:14:09
  Tyler Lee popped.
• 1:14:10
  I think it's still under appeal.
• 1:14:12
  It's not yet official.
• 1:14:16
  It's tough because I feel
• 1:14:17
  the spot should go to Chantel, like,
• 1:14:20
  by the rules that they have in place.
• 1:14:23
  However,
• 1:14:24
  who's going to get a better –
• 1:14:27
  who's going to help bring, like,
• 1:14:28
  the competition level up?
• 1:14:30
  It's Jasmine.
• 1:14:30
  Like, she's a top 10 –
• 1:14:33
  games athlete in that age
• 1:14:35
  group versus a 42nd place.
• 1:14:38
  So she brings up the level higher,
• 1:14:40
  but it's tough because I
• 1:14:43
  think once you decline,
• 1:14:46
  I don't know if you should
• 1:14:47
  have a second opportunity.
• 1:14:49
  It just, it sucks that that happened,
• 1:14:50
  but that was her decision
• 1:14:52
  to decline in the first
• 1:14:53
  place is how I view it.
• 1:14:56
  But I'm happy for her that
• 1:14:57
  she gets that opportunity
• 1:15:01
  to compete at the games.
• 1:15:07
  I think a rule is a rule.
• 1:15:10
  And if you want to be a sport,
• 1:15:13
  you've got to follow the rules.
• 1:15:16
  And if you think that you
• 1:15:18
  messed up and the rule
• 1:15:19
  should be different,
• 1:15:20
  there should be a process
• 1:15:21
  in changing that rule for the next year.
• 1:15:23
  But there was documentation
• 1:15:25
  sent to Chantal and that she was up next.
• 1:15:31
  And then for them to go back on that,
• 1:15:32
  to go to an endeavor,
• 1:15:33
  different direction.
• 1:15:35
  Not only are you changing the rule,
• 1:15:37
  but you sent documentation
• 1:15:38
  and you're going against
• 1:15:39
  the documentation you sent.
• 1:15:41
  Yeah, that's the problem.
• 1:15:43
  They didn't have to send Chantel an email.
• 1:15:46
  The fact that they did and said get ready,
• 1:15:48
  it's the CrossFit Games' fault to
• 1:15:53
  you know, they,
• 1:15:54
  they went back on the word
• 1:15:55
  and they took Jasmine.
• 1:15:55
  Like it's not Jasmine's fault.
• 1:15:57
  Like she asked, she was like, Hey, is it,
• 1:15:59
  you know,
• 1:16:00
  is it too late to get my spot back?
• 1:16:02
  And then something happened
• 1:16:03
  and they had like, it's not like,
• 1:16:05
  if there's no wrong in asking if I'm,
• 1:16:07
  if I'm Jasmine in that
• 1:16:08
  position and I lost my spot on a team.
• 1:16:11
  So I'm going to go see if
• 1:16:12
  it's still available, you know?
• 1:16:14
  Like it's almost like your
• 1:16:16
  ex is still available after,
• 1:16:17
  after something happens,
• 1:16:19
  but invite them both.
• 1:16:22
  I think CrossFit messed up.
• 1:16:23
  Like it's,
• 1:16:24
  you almost have to invite them
• 1:16:25
  both because I don't think
• 1:16:27
  what they did is fair to Chantel.
• 1:16:32
  Yeah.
• 1:16:33
  I, man, you,
• 1:16:34
  you bringing up your ex like that,
• 1:16:36
  that would put it, you decline.
• 1:16:39
  You say, sorry, I'm going in.
• 1:16:40
  I'm, I love her more.
• 1:16:42
  I'm going over here.
• 1:16:43
  And then whoop,
• 1:16:44
  You still available?
• 1:16:46
  Yeah.
• 1:16:48
  Got cheated on, so you come back.
• 1:16:50
  Still available?
• 1:16:50
  Can I?
• 1:16:51
  Yeah.
• 1:16:53
  I don't know.
• 1:16:56
  At the end of the day,
• 1:16:58
  why not just bring them both?
• 1:17:01
  You know, between now and then,
• 1:17:02
  one person's probably not
• 1:17:03
  going to make it there.
• 1:17:10
  So why not just bring them
• 1:17:11
  both at this point?
• 1:17:13
  After this mess up, just do that.
• 1:17:18
  And then change the rule to
• 1:17:19
  whatever to be what you
• 1:17:22
  want it to be next year.
• 1:17:24
  And then adhere to it going forward.
• 1:17:28
  So there is a, so Julian,
• 1:17:33
  I've heard asked this question.
• 1:17:35
  Do you guys think there's a
• 1:17:36
  seven verse since he was
• 1:17:37
  the first CrossFit podcast
• 1:17:38
  and everything else was born from that?
• 1:17:40
  I don't think he was the first there's was,
• 1:17:43
  and that's what I just want.
• 1:17:45
  I, and it's been talked about below.
• 1:17:47
  Barbell shrugged came way before that.
• 1:17:49
  Um, Armin hammer has been around forever.
• 1:17:52
  Um,
• 1:17:54
  And yeah,
• 1:17:54
  the CrossFit podcast was before a lot,
• 1:17:58
  but like coffee pods and wads.
• 1:17:59
  And I started before Savon
• 1:18:01
  started his podcast.
• 1:18:02
  Nobody just knew who we were at that,
• 1:18:05
  that point in time.
• 1:18:07
  So, um, so yeah, there,
• 1:18:11
  there were lots of podcasts out there, um,
• 1:18:14
  before even the CrossFit podcast started.
• 1:18:21
  um okay uh so the after party
• 1:18:31
  It was announced this week
• 1:18:33
  yesterday that there's an
• 1:18:33
  after party at the CrossFit
• 1:18:34
  Games at Billy Bob's,
• 1:18:37
  which I've been to in my past.
• 1:18:40
  It is a massive, massive honky tonk.
• 1:18:44
  It's got like three stages
• 1:18:46
  and bunches of stuff, restaurant inside,
• 1:18:50
  a whole bunch of stuff.
• 1:18:51
  But it is.
• 1:18:52
  Yeah.
• 1:18:55
  Yeah.
• 1:18:56
  It's happening the last night,
• 1:18:58
  Sunday night from 9 p.m.
• 1:19:00
  to 2 a.m.
• 1:19:01
  You can get your tickets at CrossFit,
• 1:19:05
  I believe, dot com.
• 1:19:08
  There it is.
• 1:19:10
  Are you going to go?
• 1:19:11
  I went to one after party
• 1:19:14
  and I realized that I am
• 1:19:15
  way too old for that stuff these days.
• 1:19:21
  it's just, the music was so loud.
• 1:19:23
  I couldn't even talk to anybody.
• 1:19:25
  Um, and at that point,
• 1:19:28
  like that took all the fun
• 1:19:30
  of it out for me.
• 1:19:32
  Um,
• 1:19:33
  so there's like the official after party.
• 1:19:38
  And then a lot of times
• 1:19:39
  there's like another after party,
• 1:19:41
  like that,
• 1:19:42
  the most of the athletes go to like a,
• 1:19:44
  like it was like a more private event.
• 1:19:47
  It'll be interesting whether, you know,
• 1:19:49
  for the first year,
• 1:19:50
  if more athletes go to this one.
• 1:19:53
  It is a massive place.
• 1:19:54
  Like it would fit a lot of
• 1:19:56
  people and you could
• 1:19:58
  probably hide the athletes
• 1:20:00
  in their own area.
• 1:20:01
  It's so big.
• 1:20:03
  But yeah, I am not going,
• 1:20:06
  I will tell you right now,
• 1:20:08
  my flights Monday morning at some point,
• 1:20:10
  I'm just going to go back and
• 1:20:12
  do this show Sunday night.
• 1:20:14
  Cause we'll be back next Sunday night.
• 1:20:15
  Uh, at the same time,
• 1:20:17
  right after the CrossFit games are over,
• 1:20:19
  breaking it all down Sunday night,
• 1:20:21
  CrossFit talk every week.
• 1:20:23
  And we are probably going to
• 1:20:25
  do some mid afternoon shows
• 1:20:28
  throughout the week.
• 1:20:29
  We're going to look at the
• 1:20:30
  schedule and see where it
• 1:20:31
  best fits in to not collide
• 1:20:36
  with everybody and to, uh,
• 1:20:38
  get in where we can.
• 1:20:39
  Um,
• 1:20:42
  I'll probably do a lot of
• 1:20:42
  that live from the media
• 1:20:44
  room right there in Dickies.
• 1:20:48
  So that's our show.
• 1:20:50
  Heading to Fort Worth Wednesday morning.
• 1:20:55
  I'll be there on the ground
• 1:20:56
  sometime Wednesday afternoon.
• 1:20:59
  I've already booked Tristan
• 1:21:00
  Patrick to talk a little
• 1:21:02
  bit about his journey down there.
• 1:21:03
  I'll talk with Hattie,
• 1:21:05
  a short little interview
• 1:21:06
  we're going to do there.
• 1:21:07
  And then whatever else happens, happens.
• 1:21:10
  I have no plans.
• 1:21:13
  Probably go over and give
• 1:21:14
  John some crap at the barbell spin booth.
• 1:21:19
  Tell him his picks suck and
• 1:21:20
  that Saxon's going to win
• 1:21:21
  the whole thing.
• 1:21:25
