Hey, I'm Gary and we are in Albany, NY, the capital of the
0:03
state of New York. It's a sunny, beautiful day the
0:06
end of July and I'm interested in the app called.
0:14
It's the Heat One app. Heat 1 and I'm going to sign up
0:18
as soon as I can. You're going to bet on some
0:20
CrossFit. Of course, although I abhorred
0:22
gambling, I'm going to do it, man, because it's a good cause
0:25
and. And you don't you remember who
0:26
that chick's name is back there on the sign?
0:28
I've forgotten her name. The buff woman lifting the
0:31
weights behind us is a CrossFit celebrity.
0:34
I think she's the most Jack woman in CrossFit.
0:36
Her name? Was.
0:37
Amy, Amy. Amy.
0:39
If she's walking around, you'll recognize her.
0:41
OK. Thank you so much.
0:42
You're very. Welcome.
0:43
Have a nice day, America. Heat 1, where fans play.
0:49
Good morning. Yeah, Gary.
0:51
Where's Gary? Is he?
0:53
How's he do on heat 1? He's definitely at least top 36.
0:59
OK, that's that's hey, he's still in the hunt.
1:01
Still in the hunt. Heavy savvy.
1:03
Thank you. Thank you for waking us up.
1:05
Hector. We're always up.
1:07
We were up at 3:00 in the morning to watch strong women at
1:10
rogue. So hey, this is this is like
1:13
went on sleep on fitness. That's right.
1:17
Max Von Everick. I don't think I've ever seen Max
1:20
over here. Welcome.
1:21
Welcome. Yeah.
1:22
Trish, Meredith, Andy Man rolling in.
1:27
That's right. Zach Davis, He said.
1:29
Amy. Yeah, I think he I think he
1:32
likes Miss Kringle. Miss Kringle's doing pretty well
1:34
so far. Yeah, Dave told you.
1:38
Did you to roll back the clips and find out if that's the case?
1:43
Speaking before we get into the the the games news, if you
1:47
watched this past Wednesday on the spin, we did a little bit of
1:51
a draft. Oh yeah, let's just say it's
1:56
been a roller coaster. After event 1, John was leading
2:01
handily. My women were trash.
2:07
After event 2, Tyler jumped up into the lead.
2:12
But now after day after event three, day one, I am winning
2:17
handily. I have 2937 points, Tyler has
2:23
2788, so I'm up by about 150 and John 2651 points.
2:32
He is losing by almost 300 points to 1st place me.
2:38
Yeah, he didn't do so well on the pegboard.
2:41
What's that? It's going back and forth.
2:43
Pretty good. I didn't it.
2:45
Yeah. I was very nervous after the
2:46
first one because my women were struggling.
2:49
And now if if if Syria, Lucy, a few others do well and can
2:56
continue that I feel pretty good.
2:58
And and Brooke has a lot of runway to make up.
3:01
We'll find out. Dude Hurtin I hurt and.
3:05
I'm still trying to figure out like, yeah, you picked Brick on
3:08
one of them, right? I play, so I didn't really talk
3:11
about it, but I was like she was under Jr.
3:14
So she's done WPTH and she's definitely done pegboards.
3:20
But not very often. I mean, how long was she really
3:22
with Jr. I I don't know.
3:24
But she was, she was following Marconi's work.
3:27
I think Jr. was probably adding a little bit of stuff to it.
3:30
I don't think she was with Jr. doing his specific programming
3:36
long enough. Yeah, like they were probably
3:39
focusing on other things, not peg boards or crossovers.
3:42
Yeah, I just, I just saw I was like, man, she because like if
3:47
you do them once or twice and you're with Jr. when you do them
3:49
and he coaches you up, you're going to retain something.
3:52
I was like, dude, she's going to blast through this.
3:53
I mean, it worked for Jason. That's exactly like dude, he did
3:57
good on that event. Well, that's the thing with Jr.
4:00
That's The thing is if Jason, even if Jason is following L's
4:02
program programming and he's there doing pegboards and and
4:08
Jr. sees him doing something and I didn't know you had a studio
4:11
audience with you. Like there's crowd, big old fans
4:15
back there. One big one.
4:17
I like it if if if Jr. sees Jason doing a pegboard and he
4:24
has bad technique, Jr. will tell him and probably help him out.
4:29
Right. Like he's not going to, he's not
4:30
going to go in there and bother him and tell him to do some
4:33
different workout, but he'll probably say, hey, what if you
4:36
try doing this work on this or whatever.
4:39
Right. I don't think Brooke has that,
4:42
not anymore. Like I don't know who she's
4:44
working with now at HWPO maybe or Steve.
4:49
I wonder if it's a. Ghost coach again.
4:51
Remember how she was secret bouncing around for a minute?
4:54
Maybe. But like, she's by herself,
4:56
right? She's training by herself, so
4:57
she doesn't have anybody watching her in person.
5:02
I don't. And I I guess Trivium does have
5:04
pegboards, but again, it's way different when you have a grippy
5:09
concrete wall or drywall versus a a slippery pegboard.
5:16
But her technique was terrible. Like she was so far from the
5:19
wall, I don't know what was going on.
5:22
We offhand mentioned mentioned it during the week last week
5:25
about the pegboard maybe being slippery but like we didn't make
5:28
a big deal out of it and dude, that bit that bit us in the ass
5:31
hard. Yeah, it's, I mean, you saw what
5:36
I posted. It was that, I mean, that that
5:38
message was some from somebody that was related associated with
5:42
an athlete. They were not very happy with
5:46
it. Definitely.
5:49
I mean, lane 2 definitely looks like it was the stickier of the
5:51
two. And I can't, I have a hard time
5:53
believing that lane 2 just didn't get sweaty that yeah,
5:57
like, but it was lane 2 on top and it got a little dusty or
6:01
sticky, like something got on it and it's a little stickier than
6:04
lane 5 or the other lanes. I don't know.
6:10
Men did. The men didn't seem to have as
6:11
much of an issue. But I also think that the men,
6:15
they're better pullers. So they're not using their they
6:18
don't have to use their feet as much.
6:19
And like, there may still been of a difference.
6:22
Like you saw Ricky struggle, which he is probably gonna
6:24
struggle a little bit anyway on this, but did it just exacerbate
6:28
a little bit versus the women? Like you were toast if if you
6:33
got onto a slippery. Dude, Tia going up strict for
6:36
like half the way and then do it.
6:38
I was like Oh my God, we're reaching down deep right now.
6:41
But I still don't. I still don't think that
6:44
explains Lydia doing as well as she'd like to me.
6:48
Yeah, you still got to be good at it.
6:50
But Lydia doing that good was her work.
6:53
Showing off? Do you think Dave is was happy
6:57
with the weight selection for the women?
7:00
Or just overall? Overall, because everybody made
7:03
it through. If you could do the peg boards,
7:05
you could do the cleans in the the complex.
7:07
Yeah, you had long enough. Like your heart rate was going
7:10
to go down. You're going to be OK.
7:11
It it. I don't think it was the test he
7:13
thought it was. Yeah, because I mean, I think
7:17
back to was it 2017, the bar musclups in the cleans and like
7:22
you had to be super strong to get there.
7:25
And no offense to Lydia or Maria Quintero, but like.
7:29
They would if. If they, I mean Lydia ran up to
7:32
that bar, took a breath and lifted it and had no problem.
7:36
2017 like people were struggling to finish and I just don't know
7:42
if that was what was, what was Dave's intent with that?
7:45
Like did he want everybody to finish and go faster or was it
7:48
one of the strengths like a true strength workout?
7:51
This is a place where I think that the testing was not
7:56
adequate because the the the strata of athlete that you need
8:02
to measure that event like the heavyweights really means
8:08
something else when you're at the top of the leaderboard.
8:10
They have a whole different paradigm of what strength is.
8:14
And then pegboard is really to like the top athletes don't
8:18
struggle nearly as much as people who are just like 20
8:21
spots down from them on the leaderboard.
8:23
So you need somebody who's world class at that.
8:26
I would have asked Richard or somebody like that to do that
8:30
workout. Rich probably wouldn't have done
8:31
it because of the front squats, but somebody of that caliber.
8:35
Yeah, I got a sense like watching the how the how the
8:38
workouts were made that using Rafa and using Scuds was kind of
8:44
like here's the time domain I need, right?
8:48
Like this is where I would think people will need to finish.
8:53
It's like when you play video games with the computer.
8:56
Like it works, but it's not really the same.
8:59
Yeah, like he's not. Rafa's never sniffed qualifying
9:03
for the games. Scuds has been close ish years
9:10
ago. And like yeah she's a great
9:12
regional semifinals athlete, but she's not.
9:17
Yeah, that's exact. Oh, sorry Larry, thinking this
9:22
one needs to be heavier. Go figure.
9:24
Yeah, I, yes, I am. I, I, I just, if, if Dave wanted
9:31
it to be a faster workout, he wanted Dave to be a fast.
9:37
If you wanted to be a faster workout, he got it.
9:40
If you wanted it to be a, a true strength test, he did not,
9:45
right. Like if he's testing this and
9:48
he's trying to get some people to really struggle with it, Rafa
9:52
should probably be failing in the workout when he tests it.
9:56
And if he's finishing, there's a way a lot stronger guys out
10:00
there than Rafa, especially when you're at the games and have
10:05
competition going that it was just, you know, so I, I, I was
10:10
concerned about that from the beginning.
10:11
And I just wonder what it how it's going to play out the rest
10:13
of the time. Same day, day 2.
10:20
Day 2 is coming up. Get your picks in.
10:24
Hey, if I get one message about you guys released props and you
10:27
didn't say nothing about it, Number one, we sent out a
10:30
notification as soon as we sent out the props.
10:32
We did do it late, but I'm telling you again and we're
10:35
going to tell you again before the event starts, get your pics
10:39
in. Get your pics in the look I I
10:44
can share my screen. We did some research.
10:47
We are better than we were yesterday.
10:49
Contacted the IT department. That's right.
10:53
So here we go. There's Shot Caller.
10:57
There's a few more new ones on there.
10:58
So right now, if you were watching this 342 people, you
11:01
have an insider advantage. You can go through Shot Caller
11:05
with us. First prop bet you got a little
11:10
over an hour to make this one. Will Jeff Adler be in the top
11:15
three at the end of Day 2 Now? He is.
11:21
He's in tied for fifth or tied for fourth place.
11:26
Jason Hopper, Jay Crouch, 206. Whoa.
11:28
There's a scoring adjustment. That was not what it was like
11:32
yesterday. Who got the scoring adjustment?
11:37
Adler Adler was in 7th yesterday with 236 points and now he has
11:44
240. He got a bump up so he must have
11:50
filed an appeal. He's now in 5th place.
11:53
So Jason Hopper, Jay Crouch have 260, Roman Krenikoff has 256,
12:01
and then Ricky, Jeff, Justin and Harry Lightfoot have 240 points.
12:07
So 20 points separates 1st through 7th.
12:12
So can Jeff Adler move up 16 points?
12:16
That's four spots. He's.
12:20
So let's walk through the events event #4 the run, deadlift,
12:25
handstand, walk. He's going to do good at that.
12:28
Barring he's going to do better than Ricky, he's going to do
12:31
better than Roman. Jay and Jason should be fine.
12:35
Yes. Justin will also do well.
12:38
Yes. Harry, I I don't know.
12:43
He's the top ten. He's the top ten hero.
12:46
Yeah, he he and Amy have been have figured something out.
12:50
They're training partners. It's it's eating those bowls.
12:54
Yeah, Amy's little breakfast bowls, right?
12:56
Yeah, yeah. And then we got squats, so Jason
13:02
will do fine. He's a potential win for the
13:05
squat. He won't win it, but he'll be,
13:08
he'll be, he'll be better than Ricky, he'll be better than
13:10
Roman, I think. I think he'll be around where
13:13
Justin is do better than Harry, maybe a little bit better than
13:17
Jay. So I think it'd be fairly close.
13:20
And then the 6-7 with that nasty, nasty burpees.
13:27
He's a good pick 4 but one missed Rep and he goes 10th
13:32
immediately in those events. The one missed Rep?
13:37
You think so? Yeah, dude, it's fast,
13:43
especially on the burpees. You I mean like you can't really
13:46
screw up the burpees chest a bar.
13:49
I guess you can make it up. OK, so that's right.
13:52
You're right. Now one misrep on the bar Muscle
13:54
UPS. Game over.
13:56
Yeah. If you underestimate and you
13:57
don't come down, do you think you guys will go unbroken on all
14:00
these? Yes, You think so?
14:02
Yeah, I would try to go unbroken.
14:06
Try. Yeah, sure.
14:08
No, I mean like that is in my range of being able to do.
14:11
I don't think people will go unbroken.
14:13
I think they'll take a break. I think it's too risky.
14:16
So if you get the 20, if you get the 25 and you fail 1, you lose
14:20
way more time than it coming down at 20, shaking your arms
14:23
out and then just do 8 more. You can't make up anything.
14:28
So that's where you met like your your bike guard pace, like
14:34
everybody's going to be round about the same time.
14:36
Nobody's going to blast that. No, because not after doing the
14:40
first part. No, the bike is.
14:42
The bike is going to be a throw away just to get your.
14:43
Heart rate back up and then the only way you can make up time is
14:48
on the burpees and on the bar muscle UPS.
14:51
The burpees, mostly, everybody's going to move the same pace or
14:53
the pace they're going to move. No, you don't think so.
14:56
Not at the end, no. You think they'll just put the
14:58
hand? That's the separate the
14:59
separator. I think the first one like
15:04
Colton is going to be way faster than Bronislaw.
15:07
OK. Like I think, I think you'll see
15:12
guys go out way too fast. The first one thinking they can
15:15
just recover. They'll have a more enough time.
15:17
If they get done fast enough, they'll have enough time to
15:19
recover. Yeah, they won't.
15:21
And then they'll start biking, They'll get their heart rate
15:23
back up. Our muscle UPS will spike it
15:25
again. And then they're going to the
15:28
burpees and it's going to be a Oh, no moment of this is going
15:31
to really hurt and they're going to slow down.
15:34
I'm going to say outside the top three, but we know how I feel
15:42
about yeah. I think I'm going to well, I
15:45
heard your answer. I just changed it top three.
15:47
I'm going to pick top three after walking through the
15:50
workouts, I could see him there. He was just he missed his if he
15:54
didn't miss his front squat, he's he's definitely solidly in
15:58
fourth. I don't know.
16:00
I haven't done the math on how many seconds he lost and if he
16:03
could have moved up enough, but he's I think if he had 252
16:09
points, you might have a different thought.
16:11
Yeah. Next one, most points.
16:16
Haley Adams, Abigail Domit, Alexis Raptist.
16:20
Who has the most points at the end of Day 2?
16:24
So right now they are 14th, 15th and 15th.
16:29
Haley has 142 points. Domit and Raptors have 137 each.
16:33
So five points separating the three women who are almost,
16:39
well, dumb. It's never been in the top 10,
16:41
but we always say she should be in the top 10.
16:45
Looking once again at the events, I would say all three of
16:50
them do comparably on the first workout, giving I would say
16:56
Haley the edge and Abigail right behind her.
16:59
I don't think Alexis is going to do as well as people think on
17:02
this workout, especially if the back rumors are true.
17:06
Right. So I don't know if she can fit
17:07
and work on easy O tape on the back.
17:09
Yeah, Domit is going to do the best on the back squat, right?
17:16
It's the safest pick. No, never mind.
17:19
No, she's going to do the best on the back squat, period.
17:21
Flat out five and six or six and seven.
17:27
Probably give those to Alexis. If.
17:30
She's healthy if she's healthy, I still don't think like even if
17:33
your backs hurt, those two aren't going to hurt you that
17:36
bad. Like you can get through those.
17:39
Yeah. We just don't know how she feels
17:41
after three day three events, like if it's more aggravated, if
17:46
it's if there is something there, which I I have to imagine
17:49
there is. I, I'm, I'm, I'm a little
17:53
hesitant to put put Abigail for both of those.
17:58
She has the potential, I think. I don't, Well, yeah, I don't
18:00
think, I don't think she, I think she does best on the
18:02
squat. I think she gets a lot of points
18:05
on the squat from Haley. I don't know if Haley can get
18:10
enough points back on 6:00 and 7:00.
18:14
Right on six and seven. For Abigail, it is an execution
18:18
thing for me. She has the capacity to do it,
18:20
but she has a tendency to mess up execution stuff.
18:23
And it's yeah. And and so many times on this,
18:26
like if you do really well on the first part, you don't do as
18:29
well as in the second part. And so a lot of times these two
18:32
were average out. Like it was a little bit
18:36
different last year with the final event.
18:38
I think it was not enough volume to destroy them.
18:44
I think these types of back to backs, you see somebody go out
18:47
hard and then bonk. They bonk, right?
18:50
Like if Haley plays it smart and she beats Abigail by a couple
18:54
seconds or, you know, a couple places, not does really well,
18:58
Yeah, you could hang on and do it twice, but I think a lot of
19:02
times it it flips. So that's why I'm picking
19:04
Abigail. Yeah, do that.
19:06
We're almost to a 10,100. We're almost 15,000.
19:10
Almost count. The 15,000 is on.
19:13
We're close, We're close. Yeah, I'm going Dome it.
19:18
I'm going Dome it. Oh man, I don't like my pick
19:20
now. Last one for that's new.
19:24
We this one going. For sub 15, how many athletes go
19:29
sub 15 on event for? There was some deep heated
19:34
conversation about this one last night.
19:36
In depth CrossFit talk at the house last night with Jr.
19:41
Bryson. John Caleb threw in some
19:44
opinions. Rios had some stuff to say.
19:48
It got wild. Event for five rounds.
19:53
Run 300 meters, 12 deadlifts, 100 foot handstand walk.
19:59
What is Do we know the time cap on this?
20:01
I don't offhand though. OK. 15 minutes.
20:09
So Jr. knows some testing times for athletes and he was like,
20:15
the thing that you have to consider here is that the setup
20:18
is going to be a little different probably than
20:20
everybody had it set up at at whatever gym they were at. 15
20:25
seems to be around about the time that's like if you're like
20:30
on point hitting all, every, all your, all your marks correctly.
20:34
He was like, that's the time to hit.
20:36
He was like, I don't think many can do it.
20:39
We were talking about should we go just do one for the men, do
20:42
one for the women. And then we said, well, why
20:44
don't we combine them and set it at 10?
20:49
And I thought, I thought that was correct.
20:51
I don't think many women will be in there, but it gets you close
20:55
to that 10 a little bit better. I'm going to go 9 or less.
21:00
I think it's probably going to be a 16 to 17 minute workout.
21:04
I think so too. I think I start to think a lot
21:08
about fatigue. Do you think the athletes are
21:10
fatigued from yesterday, like pretty, pretty fatigued or do
21:14
you think they're? I don't think they're, I don't
21:15
think they'd be as beat up as previous years.
21:21
Run run row. What was the second one?
21:26
The. The the crossovers, crossovers,
21:30
I don't think that was more I think skill like it was a little
21:33
bit shoulder fatigue, but I don't think it's anything they
21:37
can't recover from. And then the pegboard squat
21:40
clean again. They they, they move through the
21:42
squat clean and front squat very, very easily.
21:45
I just don't. Crossfat's trying to hard to
21:49
name this show. I even like if you're 2% off,
21:58
like if you're 2% fatigued, that still might be enough to kick
22:02
you out. I think it's an aggressive time
22:04
cap, yeah. Or digressive it.
22:08
It it also that comes down to as the 300 meters, 300 meters or is
22:11
it like 260? So they're actually or is it
22:14
330? I think they're.
22:16
Are are are we doing? Do we know if they're doing it
22:18
on the runner? It it's a wood way.
22:20
Is it? Yeah, I don't like that.
22:22
That's. I don't either.
22:23
It's gonna take it down visually so much.
22:26
I'm still going 9 or less. I'm going to.
22:29
Agree 77% saying 10 or more. I don't know why I did this, but
22:33
the last, the next one, even though we're not going to talk
22:35
about it because it's been out there.
22:37
Undercarded back squat. Who has the heaviest back squat?
22:39
Daniel Brandon, Haley Adams, Lydia Fish.
22:42
I don't know why I picked Danielle.
22:44
Picking Haley. Did you're wrong?
22:47
Did you see how good Lydia looked?
22:48
I watched all three of them clean and front squat yesterday.
22:52
Lydia looked better than every single one of those.
22:56
I I think everybody's, I'm fading everybody on this one.
23:00
Lydia's going to win this. All right.
23:03
I'm a switch and I'm going to go to 9%.
23:05
You believe me? Wow, what an idiot.
23:08
I don't believe you very often, but it does make sense.
23:11
Like she did look stronger. She looks so much stronger.
23:14
I've seen some of like her metrics from training and like
23:18
one of the crash events it was, oh, it was heavier, it was the
23:25
thruster event. She beat her time.
23:28
She redid it in training here recently, she beat her time by
23:32
over 2 minutes. Like she's gotten so much
23:35
stronger dude, it's wild. Yeah, that's, I mean we can look
23:40
at the leaderboard here. I got to go, got to go give
23:43
Larry a shout out for the 499. Appreciate it, Larry.
23:46
Overall, everything has been better than I expected.
23:48
The venue programming, the programming, the prog ramming
23:54
etcetera. I've I've heard mixed from at
24:00
least the media side of things and how that's working out.
24:03
I've heard it's a little bit different, difficult to
24:06
navigate, especially babysit what's going on.
24:09
Yeah, yeah, I've heard that like the warm up area is it's
24:15
obviously in a different building than the actual
24:18
competition. So you're walking back and forth
24:20
through an alleyway. So it it, if you're trying to do
24:26
everything, you probably don't end up with anything.
24:29
You almost have to like kind of stick to what you are doing.
24:35
So if you got a team, if you got people there that can can
24:40
multitask, if you're trying to do it all yourself, I think it's
24:42
pretty tough. Nico Arredondo, how much do
24:48
y'all think Colton can climb? I think he can push back into
24:54
the top 10 today. Top ten he is. 70 points out
25:03
last I checked, roughly 70. 19th place, I mean down here, 106
25:08
points. 10th place 170. I mean, what what you notice is,
25:13
and I did, I noticed this when we were doing when I was adding
25:16
up the scores for our, our draft, like a few spots makes up
25:23
a big difference with the scoring table and only 30
25:25
athletes. Yeah, like, you know, a 15th
25:28
place back in the back in with a 40 athlete field, like, yeah,
25:33
you got, you took a hit. But this year you really take a
25:36
hit. Like you're down there in the 50
25:38
point range. And it's a lot of, you know, I
25:44
think the, the variability is, is quite high in some of these.
25:47
So I don't think top 10 is out of the out of the possibility.
25:51
I'm a little nervous about this first one for him.
25:55
I think that's damage control. We've seen Hanson walking is
25:58
probably his weakest of these elements today.
26:05
So he'll he'll probably dig out a little bit of a hole.
26:07
He might. I mean maybe 20th on this event
26:09
is fine, but then he'll back squat very good 28 burpees.
26:15
Nobody else can do those faster than him.
26:18
Plus bar muscle ups and chest of our pull ups.
26:21
He's going to be good. The question is does he?
26:23
I don't think the machine hurts him enough.
26:26
Like having the concept 2 bike second is going to be fine.
26:31
Like it's not it's a hopper. I mean, Hopper's going to be can
26:34
easily be the fastest along with Roman, but again, I don't think
26:38
after the first one they're going to sit out there and just
26:40
Sprint it. He's going to move faster on
26:42
everything else than them. Right, right.
26:45
Jessica Dell Aquila. Dell Aquila.
26:48
Yeah, Like maybe. Dave de Aquila.
26:51
I don't know, 10 bucks. Appreciate it, thank you.
26:56
Have you tried Hawaiian punch C4?
26:58
It's fine. I'm not a big C4 guy.
27:01
I don't. Carbonation is not my.
27:02
He's all rock star for some reason.
27:04
Yeah, non carbonated. Yeah, the rest of the
27:08
leaderboard start at the bottom. Bill Leahy.
27:14
What? Not a good, not not not a good
27:16
showing. Toby beating William.
27:20
Yeah, Bill's got some work to do.
27:23
He should do better today. Yep, other than maybe the back
27:28
squat. How you feeling about that prop
27:31
at their spin? There's still time.
27:34
There's still time. You never know.
27:38
Yeah, I did not. He's he's getting beat by Ty
27:41
pretty badly if you're getting. Beat by Peter Ellis.
27:44
Something's wrong. Yonokoski down in 22nd.
27:48
He is moving up, but look. At that.
27:50
Hey, Isaac Newman. Yeah, we'll see if he can hang
27:56
on. I think I don't, I, I think
27:59
there'll be a lot of movement today and he's got 4 scored
28:01
events. I I have a hard time believing
28:03
he is a gymnastic genius. So the last one will not be
28:08
good. I don't think Nick Matthews
28:10
should get a lot of points on the back squat.
28:14
Enrico Zanoni, everybody's giving him a hard time.
28:17
I picked him and you guys were like, what?
28:19
Now look at him. Decent solid showing.
28:24
It's he. He has the curse of being
28:27
Argentinian. What?
28:30
Where is he from? What's that?
28:32
Italy? Italy Argentina's a Blue Flag.
28:37
I don't know who am I thinking of.
28:39
Somebody's from Argentina. I don't know Augustine or
28:45
Shelby. Is that who you're thinking of?
28:46
Yeah, that's it. OK.
28:52
Caleb Klubin's done on 15th. Ty Jenkins, Good.
28:55
Is he? Yeah.
28:56
Colin Bosshard. Is he the tightest rookie?
29:01
I think so. He is Colin Bosshard, 14th place
29:06
top rookie so far. Chris Ibarra, you wouldn't even
29:10
know he was there, but he's sitting in 13th.
29:12
I don't think he got one second of camera time throughout.
29:16
Austin Hatfield. He's got a problem with the
29:20
upper body pulling. Dude just, he just damn it.
29:29
So I had him in in heat 1 and I changed it the last minute to
29:35
Hopper. Good call.
29:39
Why? Because I remember Kill Taylor
29:43
and how he struggled with the the cut rope.
29:47
And I just thought to myself, I don't think it's going to.
29:52
I think that's going to play a bigger role and not the squats.
29:55
I think that's why I had him at first like, Oh yeah, he'll be
29:58
stronger than everybody else and he'll get through the squats
29:59
maybe faster. It turned out to be a pegboard
30:02
workout and I was glad I made that last minute change because
30:05
I would have been done. Where did you rank Austin
30:07
overall? In the the top.
30:13
Top ten, yeah. Let's see.
30:16
I I gave this some long hard. Thought I I gave him third.
30:20
OK I gave him 4th and I. It's I He should be good this
30:30
first one, yes. Not great.
30:32
Good. He should be good to great the
30:38
second one in the back squat. Yeah, dude, pretty.
30:40
Good. And he should do really well on
30:42
the on the the last two. He should be, yeah, top five to.
30:47
Top ten he he needs to get he needs to figure out how to get
30:52
enough points to to move up above all of James Sprague.
30:58
The problem is there's a huge gap between Harry and James and
31:02
as he walked through just just or or Jeff trying to get through
31:05
the top three. I don't see where he can make up
31:11
enough points on enough people to get top three at this point,
31:16
right? Like he could easily get eighth.
31:19
He probably can get 7th fairly easily.
31:22
If you know, I don't, I don't know if Harry can can hang on.
31:27
I just don't see any of those top, other top six guys giving
31:31
out Three of four of those guys of the top 6 giving back that
31:38
many points, Sure, like a 28th place is devastating.
31:43
You're getting 6 points. Hey dude, I mean, I know it was
31:46
a different thing because it was 40 athletes and there were more
31:50
events, but Rich got a 36th in the in the in the run and I
31:55
think he got something like that in the swim.
31:57
So yeah, but I don't see Hatfield going first, first,
32:00
first, second, first, right? Like, I mean three events, three
32:08
different winners. I mean, you see the top 7 right
32:10
now, the worst finish of event, if any event is 14th.
32:13
That was Ricky and the pegboard, but he also had a third and a
32:17
first, so. This, this makes me think right
32:21
here. Is Austin's new love with Haley
32:24
a distraction? That will be talked about.
32:27
It will be talked about. But I think the bigger story
32:30
here that you're not really hearing yet, but it's definitely
32:33
like on on, on the the behind the scenes look is like a lot of
32:38
these athletes seem to be overtrained.
32:41
They're coming into the games cooked in a way that they've
32:43
never come into the games before.
32:45
And so I'm, it's just like I'm wondering if he's another one of
32:49
those athletes that's just cooked.
32:52
Yeah, I I mean, if there's there's a lot of expectations on
32:55
on him. Did he do too?
32:57
Did did he get too much training volume to much competition with
33:04
the thought of well, I'm so close.
33:06
If I just do more, I'll I'll get there.
33:08
And now it's just whatever I, I hate to say it, but I do lend
33:15
some of the possible distraction like Ryan's comment there like
33:19
it, it you have some some piece of you, even if it's just a
33:27
little bit. Isn't focused on.
33:29
That isn't focused on that you're, you're focused on
33:31
holding an umbrella over her in the rain versus on yourself.
33:36
Just worried about yourself. Is that enough to take instead
33:41
of 28th to finish 20th? I don't know, right?
33:49
He's. Going to be pissed off coming
33:50
into the day though. Yeah, I, I just, I, I, I just
33:56
can James win or is it is 8th place too far back at this
34:00
point? He can't win.
34:05
I don't think he can win. No, I think it.
34:08
I think. He, I mean, he would have to be
34:12
top three the remainder of the weekend.
34:14
And like, can he do that? Yeah, but it's unlikely.
34:18
Well, he's not going to do back squat.
34:20
He's not going to. Be the back squat, but like the.
34:21
He's not going to be the best 6 sevens, not going to be great
34:25
for him. Just range of motion wise.
34:27
Right. Like his burpees are going to be
34:29
just a little a little bit slower.
34:33
I think it's going to come down to Jason and Jay.
34:37
Jay, take the. Fall, I would say those 3,
34:40
Jason, Jay and Jeff are who I think have the best shot at
34:43
winning. Not not the podium, though.
34:48
Jay falls to like 5th or 6th today.
34:50
He's really good at Hanson walking.
34:52
Yeah, but he that. He he should be good at, he
34:54
should be good at six and seven. He should be good at 6:00 and
34:57
7:00. It's just how much I don't think
35:00
he's going to do as great as you think in the deadlift workout.
35:03
I isn't. He is as big as I am.
35:05
He's he's good at running. He's really good at remember,
35:09
was it Rogue? The was it the overhead lunge
35:14
and was it a handstand walk with that too?
35:19
And he came out of nowhere and beat everybody.
35:22
He's sneaky good at handstand walking.
35:24
He's good at running. He got fifth in the run.
35:27
Deadlifts, I don't think are going to, I mean, I think
35:29
everybody's going to struggle a little bit on the deadlifts as
35:31
it gets to the under later rounds.
35:35
I think it's fine. I think the deadlift's going to
35:39
scream up, but you could be right.
35:41
I don't he does better a handstand walking than Ricky.
35:46
He'll do better at handstand walking than Roman.
35:49
Barely. I think.
35:50
Jason. Barely.
35:52
Jason and Justin have the best handstand walk of the group and
35:58
Jeff will be right back, right behind that.
36:01
So I don't think he falls that much.
36:02
I think it's really the wild card to me is the back squat for
36:05
Jay and where he finishes. But I think he's still in the
36:11
hunt. I think he can make it up on
36:13
6:00 and 7:00 and then we'll see the final.
36:16
I think Jason right now is poised to be wearing the leaders
36:20
jersey at the end of Day 2. I think so too.
36:24
I he need, he's not a very like Jason.
36:29
When I watch him, he moves so slow, like he just, it's like
36:34
watching an elephant move, man. They just don't move as fast.
36:37
They they're fast, but they're not as fast as everything else.
36:40
And so I worry about him on 6:00 and 7:00, not outside the top
36:45
10, but like he's just not, he's so big.
36:49
And so he could take a hit there, but I still think like
36:52
he's going to do really great in these first two events.
36:54
Like he's a pick for me for event 5 or event four.
36:58
And he's he's definitely in contention in Event 5.
37:02
Yeah, I, I just, the only thing I hope for, for his sake is on
37:07
event 7, the bike, he doesn't go out too hard and it gives him a
37:14
little bit less. Like he doesn't have to do as
37:15
much like that lactic acid doesn't build as quickly because
37:20
he can just kind of pace through that and still go as fast as
37:22
everybody else and give him a little bit of an edge there when
37:26
it gets to the bar muscle UPS and then grind out the burpees.
37:30
I I think he's underestimate on how good he is at burpees.
37:35
What? What is the big momentum guy?
37:38
What what's the the juggernaut? Jason is the juggernaut from.
37:46
X-Men yeah, I yeah, I just, I think he has the best chance to
37:53
be staying on the top at the end of the day.
37:57
And then tomorrow starts to set up pretty well for that.
38:03
Jason could win the games dude, it'd be so wild if.
38:06
Jason Well, it's crazy is when we were going through this, I
38:10
picked Allen right when I picked the the picks, I picked Allen
38:14
because I think you're just thinking of overall ability.
38:17
But the problem I I mentioned then I think Hopper, the
38:19
workouts that you see Hopper favors favors Hopper.
38:24
It's just I, I couldn't go with Hopper.
38:28
I had to, I had to go with who I thought was more fit, but Hopper
38:33
and these workouts, especially now that they're a lot more
38:37
power based, they're all striping up to be power based.
38:41
Hopper is he's got to feel good going into the final and then
38:48
the women will shoot down to the bottom again real quick.
38:55
Prevo damn. Yeah, I mean.
38:58
I, I'm not, I mean like I'm not surprised.
39:01
I just I was open for more I guess.
39:05
Maybe a little bit more. I I didn't expect her to be like
39:09
shooting up the leaderboard. Brick Wells 24th How high can
39:14
she get? I I sent you a prop.
39:17
Bet you didn't take it. You didn't take it.
39:19
What was it? It was the three girls.
39:21
No, it's who does who finishes higher after day 2, Brick Wells
39:25
or Syria Meha? Brooke Wells has 102, Syria Maha
39:31
has 152. So 5050 points separate the 2.
39:36
I would say, I would say Syria. I think Brooke can, I just don't
39:45
know if her head's in it at this point.
39:48
And I think Syria's, Syria's got the high ground right now.
39:51
And I don't think she's going to lose that much.
39:53
I mean, Brooke will do great in event 4.
39:56
She'll do good in event 5-6 and seven, she'll be fine.
39:59
But I think Syria on event 4 won't be that far behind.
40:02
And then six and seven. She'll be fine too, so.
40:05
She should be, but we haven't seen it.
40:08
It's a trap it. Is a trap.
40:12
Maria Quintero 22nd. I'm actually a little surprised
40:16
because she just got absolutely throttled at Wadapalooza.
40:19
Tiruadapalooza. Been training with Roman and the
40:23
and the rest of the mayhem people.
40:25
Yeah, Sidney Michelaisian. Michelaisian.
40:28
She's doing all right. Lucy Mcgonigal.
40:31
Pretty good spot. Yeah, good spot.
40:34
Pegboard didn't didn't do her any favors, neither with Gracie
40:37
Walton so. Dude, Lucy, I just want to note
40:42
this real quick. Lucy is like she's what, 1819
40:47
years old? 18?
40:49
She just graduated high school. Or maybe.
40:51
She might be 19 or no, she Yeah, this is her first year.
40:54
She has like the poise or stance of a, a, a 30 year old woman.
40:57
Like she looks put together. It's so.
41:00
Maybe people just a little bit more mature in Ireland, I guess.
41:05
Well, you know, there's Pedro. Never mind.
41:07
Yeah. Northern Island.
41:10
Different, different, different. Things Hadi Kanyo, 17th The
41:14
three of them we've already talked about.
41:16
Annika Greer 13th. I think the rest of the week is
41:20
shaping up better for her. I mean she.
41:23
Made it through the long run and now some of those power outfits.
41:27
She's great at gymnastics. Could she could she hang on for
41:31
28 burpee box jump overs? Maybe.
41:35
Not sure. Her pressing's better than a
41:37
lot. So, I mean, at least she, at
41:38
least she has that back squat. She's gonna do well. 300m run.
41:45
I don't think it's gonna be enough to really destroy her.
41:48
I think she's probably around here at the end of Day 2.
41:53
Syria, Maha, 12th place. She's not the top rookie,
41:57
though. Olivia Kerstetter about 1.
42:02
I think she'll hang a ride around there today.
42:04
Yeah, Claudia Gluck, you guys are making fun of me.
42:07
I think she's probably going to be able to stay in spot.
42:12
She should be good. I think she's good at handstand
42:14
walking backs. What's going to hurt?
42:17
And then she's good at gymnastics.
42:20
So I think she comes back. Fergie.
42:25
Jeez, man. Fee she's see what 11 place does
42:33
though. First place you move up a lot in
42:36
this range. Oh yeah, so we'll see.
42:40
I heard she had some. She was working one of her legs
42:44
in the warm up area before event 3, but it didn't matter.
42:49
She did fine on the squat cleans which probably just leads me
42:52
believe that the weight was not hot heavy enough.
42:55
Mirham Von Rohr, the top rookie 8th place Mirham Hiller says
43:01
she's going to win the back squat workout.
43:07
OK, I don't I I don't know why he thinks that.
43:13
I mean, she's done an insane amount of unbroken wall balls.
43:17
So she has legs, endurance, stamina.
43:21
She's built a little bit like Colton, who I think Colton has a
43:25
very good chance of winning the back squat workout he could be.
43:30
This could be a misdirection. He could just be screwing with
43:32
everybody. Check, check this.
43:34
Check where he well, check what he's picked.
43:39
I I think I'm not. I don't, I think she has a
43:43
chance. The problem I have is I'd rather
43:45
take Anuka where I know she's probably top three guaranteed.
43:51
I don't. I wouldn't say Mirahama is
43:53
guaranteed top three. Yeah, she might win it, but I
43:56
just don't know if she does she. Could also get 7th.
43:59
She could take 7th, 8th and it'd be like, oh, she's pretty good,
44:01
not great. Yeah, that's where we're at.
44:05
Ariel Lowen, 7th place. Daniel Brandon, Amy Kringle,
44:09
Maddie Sturt. And then there's a big old gap.
44:14
Lucy Campbell, Lydia Fish, Tia clear to me a six point lead
44:18
over Lydia Fish and Lucy Campbell.
44:21
I don't think anybody would have predicted that after day one.
44:29
Tia Claire Toomey has the worst finish of the top 4.
44:34
Dude, it was tough watching her. You'll.
44:38
Have to go through that 'cause you know.
44:40
Willow distract. Willow distracted her.
44:42
That's fair. That's fair.
44:44
We're talking about we're talking about Austin.
44:46
And then then she gets that great heartfelt moment with
44:49
Willow and then just tears her down.
44:50
Softens her up. Yeah, you can tell she she
44:53
smiled a little bit. She didn't just get all angry
44:56
so. That's to me, when it was
45:01
legitimate that something was wrong with the pegboards, when
45:03
Tia was like just not doing it, I was like, uh oh.
45:08
Yeah, that, that is surprising. Top three after today, Tia,
45:14
still a top three? Yeah.
45:17
Is Lydia top three negative? Is Lucy top three?
45:22
Negative solely based on the back squat.
45:25
I think Lydia does pretty good. I bet she gets top 10 to 15.
45:30
So who? Who is in top three?
45:36
40 point lead Kringle Kringle. And what's Kringle's back squat
45:46
like? She's got long levers.
45:48
I don't think that's like, that's probably her weakest of
45:51
everything. Lowen could make a break for it
45:55
today. Good day for Lowen, but she's
45:59
back a ways and then I would say probably.
46:05
DB her back swats, not going to do her any favors.
46:09
Yeah, you're right. I think Beer Homme has the best.
46:12
Chance. Yeah, today's wild.
46:16
Cuz Mirhom. Mirhom can run, she can
46:19
deadlift. I don't know about her handstand
46:21
walking capability. She's really good at back squat.
46:24
We know from the open. Her burpee capacity is like
46:27
Colton's along with her gymnastics I think.
46:32
I think Mirhom is top four, maybe third place dude.
46:39
She's gonna need a win. Oh.
46:42
I could see Ariel 2nd and Mirhong third.
46:47
OK, I don't hate it. I think I think the back squat 4
46:52
you got Lydia, Lucy, Maddie and Danielle back.
46:57
Squad is going to crush them. Workout 4 has some twists.
47:04
What are the twists? What are the twists, Joe?
47:06
What are the trusted games? Went live with it.
47:08
Went live with it. Let's see I'm I'm pull it up.
47:12
Of course you're not going to be able to hear shit that they're
47:16
saying. Also see his boss standing
47:21
there. 150 on round 5O150 hand foot, handsome walk on round 5.
47:37
Is that it? Oh, plus 100 more meter running.
47:44
It said four. It said 400 meter run.
48:01
I think it said 400 meter run. Oh, there it is, 400 meter run
48:07
every round, extra 50 feet of handstand locking on the last.
48:10
You got to finish the last round back.
48:15
So if you want to do a prop bet 9 or fewer, 9 or fewer will
48:23
finish under 15 minutes. Oh.
48:25
Shit dude, that screws it up because that's a whole what, 20
48:32
seconds around? Yeah.
48:45
So that that that puts running what?
48:49
Do you think I do? Do you think I just get rid of
48:51
the prop bit? I mean, maybe they tested it and
48:57
they they think it's faster. Jr.
49:01
I just I say keep it if you wanna if you want three points,
49:03
watch our show and get the inside info. 22 minute time cap.
49:09
Zero people are finishing under 15 minutes.
49:12
Zero, yeah. 25 minute cap for the women.
49:16
Yeah, nobody's finishing. Damn it.
49:23
There you go, event 4. Yeah, dude, that's. 5 rounds,
49:28
400 meter run. It was 312 deadlifts, 100 foot
49:32
handstand walk. The last one, it's gonna be 150
49:36
feet because you're gonna walk down, back and then down again
49:39
to the finish line. Yeah, I'm just gonna keep it.
49:46
So a little bit more running on than what we expected.
49:51
So that changes the story a little bit.
49:54
Let's see Shot Caller Event 4. I had Tudor, Magda, Danielle,
50:04
Brandon, Justin Medeiros. I do not like Tudor anymore.
50:08
Uh, I'm gonna say Jason Hopper. That's my mail.
50:18
I am saying event four. I have uh, Jason is my flex
50:27
pick. OK.
50:29
I've James Sprague as my male pick.
50:32
He's good at both. He's good at both, but he needs
50:35
it right now. That's true.
50:38
And then I have Mirhom von Rohr as my female pick.
50:45
Thoughts. If it's true, and I think it is
50:48
true of what Hiller's saying, but she has a powerlifting
50:54
background. She does everything and she's
50:58
done powerlifting, she's done high rocks, hot weight lift,
51:01
Olympic weightlifting, she's done high rocks, done CrossFit.
51:04
I think there's something else like she is like you look at
51:07
Swiss record books. She's on there in a lot of
51:10
different sports. And then she's she's good at
51:13
hand. Sand walk.
51:15
So I think I I'm going to put Miriam in.
51:19
OK, wow. They started with this
51:26
announcement. Have we got enough people here?
51:29
How many athletes are still not in the know?
51:32
Yeah, it's 40 minutes away from the start for just the women, I
51:35
think, or one of the heats. So like some of like if you're
51:40
not, if you're the second group to go, you're not showing up
51:46
that early, so. Is Miriam really got a Does she
51:51
really do bobsled? She might have like I remember
51:56
her seeing a post where she was like I want to like do
51:59
everything records and like everything.
52:01
So she she has a try background she does everything.
52:08
So Jon is anti Mirham and being a runner.
52:13
So first of all, I I listened to that show and I was like
52:16
screaming like so a lot of times when I watch those shows back, I
52:20
want to get in the comments. I'm like, damn it, why does this
52:22
not have a comment? You guys were saying I don't
52:24
know if Miriam's very good. She was like a a pro elite 15
52:29
runner before it became really popular back like five years
52:32
ago. And then she she wasn't a good
52:34
enough runner where it is today. She she's not, you know what
52:39
lamentside Hunter McIntyre level.
52:42
But back when it was like still new, she was one of the top 15
52:45
athletes. She can run.
52:47
We saw that she finished in the top six or something like that.
52:51
So. She also baked sourdough.
52:53
All right, well, we're 35 minutes away.
52:58
Make sure you go into Heat One. Pick your picks.
53:00
I just thought of a good a good like set of pictures you could
53:05
do is like just grab like every sporting event and put Mir him
53:11
in well. Oh, here we go.
53:15
Bye Tyler Have been an early doctor of Heat one, an original
53:19
lawn chair participant. App has improved so much and
53:22

53:30
