  what is going on everybody
• 0:29
  welcome to thursday night
• 0:30
  crossfit talk my name is
• 0:32
  scott switch on the
• 0:32
  collides dale she is jamie
• 0:35
  latimer we got lots to talk
• 0:38
  about tonight a lot
• 0:39
  happened this week a lot of
• 0:41
  personal stuff a lot of
• 0:44
  other stuff so before we
• 0:47
  get into kind of some
• 0:49
  personal stuff I changed
• 0:51
  the thumbnail real quick
• 0:53
  Within the last hour,
• 0:55
  CrossFit has issued a
• 0:56
  statement about the waiver
• 0:59
  exemption denial for Ellie Turner.
• 1:03
  And the statement speaks
• 1:05
  specifically to her case.
• 1:07
  And what I'm going to do is
• 1:08
  I'm just going to go ahead
• 1:09
  and share my screen and go
• 1:11
  ahead and read it out loud.
• 1:15
  And it's been the talk all week.
• 1:18
  So before I do that, let's set this up.
• 1:21
  All right.
• 1:22
  the rule book states that if
• 1:23
  you live in another region
• 1:26
  and you don't wish to
• 1:27
  compete in the region of your citizenship,
• 1:30
  but where you live,
• 1:32
  you can file for an exemption.
• 1:34
  And there are reasons why
• 1:35
  that exemption can be granted and reason.
• 1:38
  And if it's not in those reasons,
• 1:40
  it can be denied.
• 1:43
  So I'm going to go ahead and
• 1:44
  share my screen here.
• 1:46
  It's going to be small
• 1:47
  because it's very wide.
• 1:48
  But again,
• 1:52
  Here is the statement from
• 1:55
  CrossFit came again within the last hour.
• 1:59
  Santa Cruz, California, February 1st.
• 2:01
  CrossFit has issued the
• 2:02
  following statement on the
• 2:04
  recent competition
• 2:05
  exemption decisions ahead
• 2:08
  of the 2024 CrossFit Games.
• 2:11
  If an athlete resides in a
• 2:12
  region outside their
• 2:13
  country of citizenship and
• 2:14
  they believe they may advance to semis,
• 2:17
  they can petition CrossFit
• 2:19
  for an exemption to be
• 2:20
  placed in a different competition region.
• 2:23
  Sorry, my mic is blocking my view.
• 2:26
  So I'm going to have to back
• 2:27
  up a little bit.
• 2:29
  On January 23rd, 2024,
• 2:30
  Ellie Turner submitted her
• 2:33
  request for a regional exemption.
• 2:35
  which was denied due to
• 2:36
  being unable to establish
• 2:38
  proof of residency
• 2:40
  beginning on or before
• 2:41
  February 1st of 2021.
• 2:45
  The timeline Ellie provided
• 2:47
  to the CrossFit Games
• 2:48
  states that she arrived in
• 2:50
  North America in June of
• 2:51
  2021 prior to competing at
• 2:53
  the 2021 CrossFit Games.
• 2:56
  She then returned to
• 2:57
  Australia before arriving
• 2:59
  in Canada in December of 2021.
• 3:00
  Ellie has sustained
• 3:02
  residency in North America
• 3:04
  since December 2021.
• 3:06
  but does not meet the
• 3:07
  required date of residency
• 3:10
  on or before February 1st of 2021.
• 3:13
  For reference,
• 3:14
  and then they point out the
• 3:15
  point in the thing in the
• 3:17
  rule book that says proof
• 3:19
  of sustained residency in a
• 3:20
  single country outside the
• 3:22
  athlete's country of
• 3:22
  citizenship beginning on or
• 3:24
  before February 1st, 2021, three years.
• 3:29
  They go on to say 30
• 3:30
  athletes have submitted
• 3:32
  competition exemption
• 3:33
  applications ahead of the
• 3:35
  February 1st deadline.
• 3:36
  We have reviewed 19 of those
• 3:38
  applications and notified
• 3:40
  those athletes of the
• 3:40
  decision of those 19 applications.
• 3:43
  Five have been denied.
• 3:45
  The final 11 applications
• 3:47
  are currently under review
• 3:49
  and those athletes will be
• 3:49
  notified of approval or
• 3:51
  denial on or before
• 3:53
  February 28th of 2024.
• 3:54
  Exemption requests are filed after,
• 4:00
  requests that are filed
• 4:01
  after today february 1st
• 4:03
  will not be considered in
• 4:05
  early march the crossfit
• 4:06
  games will publish a list
• 4:07
  of all athletes who are
• 4:08
  granted exemption along
• 4:10
  with their new region so
• 4:14
  that is the statement
• 4:19
  thoughts miss latimer I wish in this
• 4:25
  post of we we received 30
• 4:28
  here's the 19 we've set out
• 4:30
  these 19 were approved
• 4:32
  these five were denied um
• 4:36
  and like pretty clear
• 4:38
  reasonings why like I think
• 4:40
  I mean everyone just keeps
• 4:41
  bringing up roman and
• 4:42
  catrina as your comparisons
• 4:43
  and I think everyone is
• 4:44
  pretty much in agreement on
• 4:45
  roman like there's really
• 4:46
  no question there he really
• 4:48
  shouldn't even be brought
• 4:48
  into the conversation um
• 4:51
  But I mean,
• 4:52
  I'd be very curious who the
• 4:53
  other four denials were.
• 4:56
  And so that maybe we can
• 4:57
  have some more talking points there.
• 5:01
  Katrin would be my one
• 5:02
  question of why when it's
• 5:04
  sustained residency and was
• 5:09
  there sustained residency
• 5:10
  when she was back home for
• 5:12
  like all of 2022 training team,
• 5:15
  training with Yami over there and Annie.
• 5:18
  So that'd be my question.
• 5:20
  Like,
• 5:21
  did she truly have sustained
• 5:22
  residency if she was home
• 5:26
  for the better part of a
• 5:28
  year in 2022 then I think
• 5:30
  that that is not being by
• 5:34
  the book and you maybe are
• 5:36
  playing favorites a little
• 5:37
  bit so here's my argument
• 5:40
  to you and we we kind of
• 5:42
  stopped our argument before
• 5:43
  we went on the air so we
• 5:44
  could have it live on the
• 5:45
  air and that is that
• 5:47
  sustained residency does not state living
• 5:51
  there the entire time right
• 5:54
  it and the proof that
• 5:55
  they're asking for in the
• 5:57
  rule book are like utility
• 5:59
  bills phone bills stuff I'm
• 6:03
  sure nobody has a landline
• 6:04
  anymore so that was stupid
• 6:06
  but um if she sustained a
• 6:08
  residence here in the
• 6:10
  united states during that
• 6:11
  whole time the rule that
• 6:14
  she was training with yami
• 6:16
  and an alternate on the
• 6:17
  team she only had to be
• 6:18
  there 50 of the time
• 6:22
  So if she was 50-50 and
• 6:24
  sustaining a residence in
• 6:26
  the United States,
• 6:27
  then I think she meets the requirements.
• 6:30
  I don't disagree there.
• 6:32
  I feel like if they're going
• 6:35
  to take Ellie's stuff and
• 6:37
  say she showed residency
• 6:39
  and so her residency is from December,
• 6:41
  they should probably back
• 6:43
  up their decision on Katrin
• 6:45
  and show that she had
• 6:47
  sustained residency here in the U.S.
• 6:50
  Because if
• 6:51
  brooks is paying the
• 6:53
  mortgage and the utilities
• 6:55
  here when she's there then
• 6:57
  that is playing favorites
• 6:59
  they're just taking her
• 7:00
  word for it if she had if
• 7:03
  she's paying utility bills
• 7:04
  here I totally agree like
• 7:06
  yes you can have two houses
• 7:07
  and sure but are they going
• 7:11
  to back that up probably
• 7:12
  not and they're probably
• 7:12
  never going to know and
• 7:13
  it's going to be assumed
• 7:14
  that they play favorites
• 7:16
  So I think it's apples to
• 7:17
  oranges because Katrin has
• 7:19
  lived in the United States
• 7:21
  off and on from 2015 till now.
• 7:27
  And in addition to that, Ellie,
• 7:31
  like we know, like,
• 7:33
  Like I know I was following
• 7:35
  her story because I
• 7:37
  interviewed her at those 21 games.
• 7:40
  She came from Australia.
• 7:41
  She got stranded here
• 7:42
  because of COVID and the
• 7:45
  Olympics and couldn't get
• 7:47
  back to Australia.
• 7:49
  And so she was not a
• 7:50
  resident of North America at all.
• 7:54
  Now she did come back to
• 7:56
  Canada to train with
• 7:58
  Michelle Laton and Deca camp and
• 8:01
  I don't know why that
• 8:02
  wouldn't count as North America.
• 8:07
  Or does it,
• 8:07
  does it mean because North
• 8:09
  America region and the,
• 8:11
  so Canada and us are in the same region,
• 8:13
  right?
• 8:15
  It doesn't matter.
• 8:16
  She definitely wasn't here
• 8:17
  before February for
• 8:18
  whatever they're kind of next year.
• 8:20
  She should be fine.
• 8:21
  Yeah.
• 8:21
  Sarah,
• 8:26
  I guess, no,
• 8:27
  we don't know if Katrin had to apply,
• 8:30
  but again, that just goes back to,
• 8:31
  if everyone's having to speculate,
• 8:33
  that goes back to playing
• 8:35
  these guessing games that
• 8:37
  we maybe shouldn't have to do.
• 8:38
  Like if they're saying they
• 8:40
  already put out 19 state decisions,
• 8:45
  put them out there.
• 8:50
  Yeah.
• 8:52
  I don't think that,
• 8:53
  and I agree with clock.
• 8:55
  And I'm going to pull that up.
• 8:57
  I don't think that CrossFit
• 8:59
  is making this easier on themselves.
• 9:01
  I think they're using
• 9:06
  semantics that can be used as loopholes.
• 9:11
  And instead of coming up
• 9:13
  with a rule that's just black and white,
• 9:16
  you either meet it or you don't.
• 9:18
  And this would be a whole lot easier.
• 9:21
  But I think that's where the
• 9:22
  distrust comes from, right?
• 9:24
  Is that there are these
• 9:26
  rules that are very
• 9:27
  ambiguous that some people
• 9:29
  can figure out the loophole
• 9:31
  and some can't.
• 9:32
  So everybody's like, well,
• 9:33
  they're playing favorites with X, Y,
• 9:35
  and Z and not with A, B, and C. Yep.
• 9:43
  And I think it's just some
• 9:44
  people have a better
• 9:45
  support system who knows
• 9:46
  how to play the game.
• 9:51
  Yeah.
• 9:52
  Or they're really playing favorites.
• 9:56
  Right.
• 9:56
  And we won't know because
• 9:57
  they're not going to be very clear.
• 9:59
  I mean,
• 9:59
  I almost feel like three years is like,
• 10:02
  I mean, it's too late.
• 10:04
  That was what they put in
• 10:04
  the real rule book, but I,
• 10:09
  I don't know why they're
• 10:10
  choosing three years.
• 10:15
  I think at the end of the day,
• 10:16
  they didn't want,
• 10:18
  they didn't want like what
• 10:19
  was happening in the mid
• 10:20
  teens where people were
• 10:21
  moving to get to the easiest region.
• 10:23
  Um, and it had, and like,
• 10:27
  I was huge CrossFit nut back then.
• 10:31
  Like everybody was moving to
• 10:33
  get the better,
• 10:34
  like Margo Alvarez lover to death.
• 10:37
  She competed in three
• 10:38
  different regions in like
• 10:39
  three straight years.
• 10:40
  Yeah.
• 10:45
  It was insane back then.
• 10:49
  Yeah, I agree.
• 10:53
  So through this all,
• 10:54
  in this whole week of debate, I mean,
• 10:58
  at the end of the day,
• 11:00
  the rule as it's written,
• 11:01
  Ellie does not meet.
• 11:02
  I totally agree with that.
• 11:05
  Right.
• 11:06
  Now all the noise around it,
• 11:09
  like who the hell knows?
• 11:14
  Yeah,
• 11:14
  I just think the frustration is you
• 11:18
  can't be certain on
• 11:20
  probably Catherine's role
• 11:22
  and really anyone else's.
• 11:24
  We don't really know who
• 11:25
  else was chosen or denied and why.
• 11:28
  And so she's just probably
• 11:30
  feeling attacked.
• 11:32
  We know Roman got approved.
• 11:36
  Yeah, right.
• 11:40
  Well,
• 11:40
  and I think we know Katrin got approved.
• 11:42
  I guess we just don't know.
• 11:43
  I mean, she had to have gotten approved.
• 11:52
  But Roman going to South
• 11:53
  Korea this offseason throws
• 11:56
  a big wrinkle in that, too,
• 11:57
  because that's where the semifinals are.
• 12:01
  If you can travel there,
• 12:03
  why do you need a waiver?
• 12:05
  Yeah, that's true.
• 12:09
  and I understand what he
• 12:10
  went through for years and
• 12:12
  there could be other issues
• 12:14
  associated with that that
• 12:15
  we don't know about because
• 12:17
  of everything he's gone
• 12:18
  through and that's probably
• 12:20
  the most complicated
• 12:21
  situation and one I don't
• 12:24
  even want to guess at why
• 12:26
  it's given because we'll
• 12:28
  probably never know that yeah
• 12:35
  Again, I think Katrin would be fine.
• 12:39
  And again, apples and oranges.
• 12:40
  She's been here off and on for so long.
• 12:43
  It's just showing a
• 12:44
  consistent utility bill
• 12:46
  through those years.
• 12:48
  And where I grew up,
• 12:51
  kids did that in high
• 12:52
  school sports all the time.
• 12:54
  I'm living with my aunt Judy.
• 12:55
  Here's my, my phone bill, you know?
• 12:59
  Right.
• 13:03
  So that's the breaking news.
• 13:06
  That's the statement from CrossFit.
• 13:09
  I'm glad they cleared that up.
• 13:13
  Did they go?
• 13:14
  I mean, that's what everyone knew,
• 13:16
  that she wasn't here before.
• 13:17
  They cleared up her case.
• 13:23
  Everything else that we're
• 13:25
  doing is speculating on the
• 13:28
  decisions of other people.
• 13:30
  Her case is she did not meet the rule.
• 13:34
  She was denied.
• 13:35
  Yeah, I don't I mean,
• 13:39
  I don't think people had a
• 13:41
  question about that.
• 13:42
  I think everyone was on the same page.
• 13:44
  She wasn't here before the February.
• 13:46
  I think they're just arguing
• 13:48
  like other people weren't also.
• 13:53
  Right.
• 13:54
  And we start comparing
• 13:56
  ourselves to others.
• 13:57
  That's when we get in
• 13:58
  trouble because everybody's
• 14:00
  situation is different.
• 14:02
  And,
• 14:02
  and we don't know the facts behind it
• 14:04
  all.
• 14:05
  So,
• 14:07
  and I'll be honest with you with the
• 14:09
  Catherine thing.
• 14:11
  I'm betting she wasn't in
• 14:13
  Iceland as much as she said
• 14:14
  she was back then.
• 14:16
  Because the teams do that
• 14:19
  and fake it to be a team
• 14:21
  anyway back then.
• 14:23
  So I'm glad they got rid of
• 14:24
  that hundred mile radius
• 14:25
  rule and all of that crap.
• 14:31
  Yeah.
• 14:33
  So wouldn't it be funny that
• 14:35
  the reason she got accepted
• 14:37
  is because she lied to be
• 14:38
  an alternate on the team that year.
• 14:41
  And now they don't want to admit that.
• 14:43
  Right.
• 14:44
  Because that other team got totally hosed.
• 14:47
  Well, she didn't compete.
• 14:50
  No, she didn't.
• 14:51
  I agree.
• 14:52
  Yeah, she was.
• 14:53
  Yeah.
• 14:55
  She just was an alternate.
• 14:56
  And Lauren Fisher went ahead and competed.
• 14:57
  Right.
• 15:01
  But it would be really funny
• 15:02
  to say for her to come out going, well,
• 15:04
  the reason is I did sustain
• 15:06
  residency because I lied in
• 15:08
  2022 just so I could be an alternate.
• 15:11
  Well, in that year,
• 15:13
  Katrin did compete in that semifinal.
• 15:17
  yeah I think that's where
• 15:22
  people are like I mean she
• 15:24
  was there she competed in
• 15:25
  that why can't she did then
• 15:27
  why can't she now it's the
• 15:32
  it's the being able to go
• 15:33
  back and forth thing that I
• 15:35
  think is I don't know just
• 15:37
  a little fuzzy yeah the
• 15:39
  inconsistencies get frustrating
• 15:45
  Yeah, so that's that.
• 15:47
  I think that horse has been
• 15:49
  beaten to death this week,
• 15:50
  but I did want to bring up
• 15:51
  the breaking news so that
• 15:53
  everybody knew that
• 15:54
  CrossFit had made a
• 15:55
  statement and really just
• 15:58
  clarified Ellie's situation.
• 16:02
  And that we'll get a list at
• 16:04
  the end of the month with
• 16:05
  everybody who's approved and denied.
• 16:07
  That would be great.
• 16:08
  I think that would be a step
• 16:10
  in the right direction as well.
• 16:13
  Yeah.
• 16:15
  So we've been binge watching stuff.
• 16:17
  Have you found anything new?
• 16:19
  No.
• 16:20
  Well, I watched Love on the Spectrum.
• 16:22
  Have you seen that?
• 16:24
  No.
• 16:26
  It's just a little eight,
• 16:29
  I think it's eight episodes in a season,
• 16:32
  two seasons.
• 16:35
  People on the autism
• 16:36
  spectrum trying to find love.
• 16:39
  It was cute.
• 16:40
  It was like a little docuseries.
• 16:42
  It was cute.
• 16:42
  Yeah, my daughter.
• 16:44
  My daughter watches it, I think.
• 16:52
  And we're back to... Curious
• 16:55
  if the others are smaller
• 16:57
  athletes who were denied.
• 16:59
  Maybe I just don't follow them.
• 17:00
  I've only heard Ellie's.
• 17:02
  I think what would be great
• 17:04
  is if Tia was one of those
• 17:06
  and then they announced she was denied.
• 17:08
  And then I think if that's announced,
• 17:11
  then all this is better.
• 17:13
  I agree.
• 17:17
  You think that will happen though?
• 17:18
  I would assume she's one of
• 17:19
  the 11 that were approved or the eight,
• 17:21
  whatever.
• 17:21
  She competed a Torian two years ago,
• 17:23
  right?
• 17:25
  Yeah.
• 17:25
  So did Catherine.
• 17:27
  Like, I don't,
• 17:28
  I think they'll both be
• 17:29
  given their exemption back
• 17:31
  to the U S and it's just
• 17:33
  like a long time.
• 17:35
  Huh?
• 17:36
  She probably can prove
• 17:38
  sustained for three years.
• 17:42
  Yeah.
• 17:43
  so thank you judy she's only
• 17:48
  in year eight I'm on year
• 17:49
  12. where's your badge did
• 17:51

• 17:53

• 17:54

• 17:56
  you better sign up make it official
• 18:07
  Peter Otero says,
• 18:09
  I feel like people miss the
• 18:10
  on or before part of the rule.
• 18:12
  Katrin has been here for years.
• 18:15
  We didn't miss that, Peter.
• 18:17
  February.
• 18:17
  Yeah, we didn't miss that.
• 18:22
  I personally,
• 18:24
  it's the consistent residency
• 18:26
  since the on or before for me.
• 18:32
  I think it just makes a fuzzy...
• 18:35
  I don't like how they worded
• 18:37
  that and then they can
• 18:38
  choose who really was here
• 18:40
  for all three years or wasn't.
• 18:43
  I think she can prove with
• 18:46
  the proof in the rule book
• 18:48
  that she had a residence in the U.S.
• 18:50
  during that time.
• 18:53
  Maybe.
• 18:54
  Again,
• 18:54
  maybe Brooks was paying for stuff
• 18:56
  here and she can't.
• 18:58
  She's just giving a pass.
• 19:00
  She can pay her own bills.
• 19:03
  But did she?
• 19:05
  Prove it.
• 19:06
  As long as the paper says she did.
• 19:07
  Okay.
• 19:11
  You're 12, Andrew.
• 19:12
  Awesome.
• 19:15
  Come on, Judy.
• 19:16
  Yeah, Judy.
• 19:18
  Get them.
• 19:20
  I'll sign up.
• 19:25
  Yeah.
• 19:25
  Don't even get us started on the East,
• 19:27
  West, and the U.S.
• 19:29
  Because that's just wild, wild West again.
• 19:31
  Yes.
• 19:32
  But...
• 19:34
  So the one thing I'm watching is Bookie.
• 19:38
  Okay.
• 19:40
  Sebastian Manuscala.
• 19:42
  Oh, yeah.
• 19:43
  I like him.
• 19:43
  On HBO Max.
• 19:45
  This is before legalized gambling,
• 19:48
  like right before.
• 19:50
  And he's a bookie.
• 19:53
  And it kind of like talks about...
• 19:57
  It's about his life as a
• 19:59
  bookie collecting money from people.
• 20:01
  And some of them are famous.
• 20:02
  Like he had to collect from Charlie Sheen.
• 20:05
  He had to collect from different.
• 20:07
  He was a legit bookie.
• 20:10
  No, no, no, no, no.
• 20:11
  It's fictional.
• 20:13
  Okay.
• 20:15
  But like Charlie Sheen plays
• 20:17
  himself in the show and has to, they have,
• 20:22
  they like break into a
• 20:23
  rehab facility to collect
• 20:24
  money from them.
• 20:25
  wow it's really funny yeah
• 20:31
  he's funny very satirical
• 20:32
  um but very funny and I'm
• 20:35
  about I think I'm six
• 20:36
  episodes in probably a
• 20:37
  couple to go yeah I need
• 20:41
  some I need some more
• 20:43
  recommendations so if
• 20:45
  anyone's got anything good
• 20:46
  I should start let me know
• 20:49
  before we jump any into any rabbit holes,
• 20:51
  Sarah Cooper, um,
• 20:54
  is that my cohost was doing
• 20:58
  some pullovers this week.
• 21:02
  And what had happened was
• 21:04
  nobody even knows what happened.
• 21:06
  I just,
• 21:07
  it's a dumb movement and I
• 21:08
  shouldn't even be messing
• 21:10
  around with them in my opinion.
• 21:12
  I'm totally capable of doing
• 21:13
  them and stringing them and
• 21:15
  doing plenty of them.
• 21:16
  It's just silly, I think.
• 21:19
  So anyway,
• 21:20
  I felt like my shoulder came out
• 21:22
  of socket twice.
• 21:24
  And yes, so funny, Scott.
• 21:31
  Coach is saying, I agree, they're dumb.
• 21:34
  And the reason they're
• 21:36
  saying they're dumb is why?
• 21:38
  Quit beating around the bush.
• 21:40
  Well, I hurt my shoulder.
• 21:41
  I said it like, well,
• 21:43
  this is funny because I had
• 21:44
  my call with Tristan today
• 21:45
  and you got my Snapchat of
• 21:47
  me in the x-ray room.
• 21:50
  You immediately messaged me.
• 21:51
  Tristan still hadn't even
• 21:53
  seen my Snapchat.
• 21:54
  And I was like,
• 21:55
  this is like an hour before I call.
• 21:56
  I was like, hey, check your Snapchat.
• 21:59
  And then he's like, what the heck?
• 22:01
  And I was like,
• 22:01
  I just didn't want you to
• 22:02
  be blindsided when we started talking.
• 22:07
  So, yeah, I don't know.
• 22:10
  have an mri tomorrow we'll
• 22:11
  see I'm I'm hopeful it's
• 22:13
  just a strain but who knows
• 22:17
  either way it'll be fine
• 22:19
  I'm I can I can still do
• 22:20
  things okay your doctor said
• 22:27
  that he believes let's, let's, you know,
• 22:31
  you're in the media.
• 22:32
  Now you gotta be honest.
• 22:35
  Your doctor said that he
• 22:37
  believes that there is a tear.
• 22:39
  Yeah.
• 22:39
  He didn't seem, he did not seem hopeful.
• 22:42
  I, I got the impression that he was like,
• 22:45
  I think something might be torn.
• 22:48
  Either my rotator cuff or my
• 22:49
  X-ray and you're having an
• 22:51
  MRI tomorrow and a follow-up next week.
• 22:54
  Yes.
• 22:57
  this media is honest.
• 22:59
  Kenneth,
• 22:59
  the original Thursday night show
• 23:01
  is all about honesty.
• 23:05
  So I asked you, what does that mean?
• 23:08
  And you told me that it means nothing.
• 23:12
  You're going to compete.
• 23:14
  You've hurt your shoulder
• 23:15
  before and it doesn't
• 23:16
  matter if it's torn.
• 23:18
  You're doing the 24 season regardless.
• 23:21
  Correct.
• 23:23
  Yeah.
• 23:24
  And that you hurt your other
• 23:25
  shoulder like six years ago
• 23:27
  and now it's all evened out
• 23:29
  and you're going to even be better.
• 23:31
  Right.
• 23:31
  I'll be okay.
• 23:36
  I just need to know,
• 23:37
  like I always put things
• 23:38
  off and just try to deal with it.
• 23:40
  And this way I feel like if
• 23:41
  I know right now I can like
• 23:44
  interest in knows we can like kind of,
• 23:46
  you know, game plans, um,
• 23:48
  And, like, if it is, like, a strain,
• 23:50
  I can actually, like, rest it.
• 23:52
  I feel like if it's torn,
• 23:54
  I just need to stay doing
• 23:55
  what I'm doing and, like,
• 23:56
  maybe occasionally cherry
• 23:58
  pick some things and, like,
• 23:59
  work around it.
• 24:00
  But I'd like to rest it if I
• 24:02
  need to just rest it.
• 24:04
  I'd like to keep working and
• 24:05
  work around it if it's torn.
• 24:08
  So...
• 24:09
  Well,
• 24:10
  if they keep taking forever to
• 24:12
  announce when and where
• 24:13
  Legends the games are,
• 24:17
  you could probably have surgery, recover,
• 24:19
  and train, and still make Legends.
• 24:25
  That's just sarcasm.
• 24:27
  Yeah.
• 24:28
  Well,
• 24:28
  you still got to do the whole season.
• 24:31
  So that is what's going on with Jamie.
• 24:34
  Yeah.
• 24:35
  So...
• 24:37
  We need you to cross your fingers,
• 24:39
  say your prayers.
• 24:40
  Yes, guys.
• 24:42
  And healing vibes, whatever it is.
• 24:43
  Not a year for an injury.
• 24:45
  I'm trying to remain optimistic.
• 24:51
  Um, Tristan says we shall, and this,
• 24:55
  for those of you who don't know,
• 24:56
  this is coach Krispy Kreme.
• 24:58
  Uh,
• 24:58
  we shall adapt and overcome also the
• 25:00
  approach to any,
• 25:02
  an injury like that for an
• 25:04
  athlete like Jamie versus
• 25:06
  another athlete is a whole topic.
• 25:09
  That's true.
• 25:13
  I'm not strong anyway.
• 25:14
  So if it affects the lift,
• 25:16
  it is what it is.
• 25:20
  But you were getting stronger.
• 25:21
  Yeah, that's questionable.
• 25:24
  And that gap was shrinking.
• 25:28
  Oh, my God.
• 25:30
  No.
• 25:35
  Tristan lost his Krispy Kreme shirt,
• 25:37
  for those of you not.
• 25:38
  He's kicked out of the club now.
• 25:43
  Can you even get another?
• 25:44
  I guess there's still Krispy Kreme around,
• 25:46
  right?
• 25:50
  Because he forgot the P. Clock wants no.
• 25:53
  I missed that.
• 26:04
  Chrissy Cream, is that a new porn star?
• 26:12
  Oh, gosh.
• 26:13
  You guys kill me.
• 26:14
  Well,
• 26:15
  we'll have to find one on eBay or
• 26:16
  something.
• 26:17
  We got to get you a new one.
• 26:19
  How do you lose that?
• 26:20
  Well, when it was like from his gym,
• 26:23
  right?
• 26:23
  Like, like Einhorn cross.
• 26:26
  Yeah.
• 26:27
  So hopefully they have it.
• 26:29
  Yeah.
• 26:32
  Yeah.
• 26:33
  Well,
• 26:33
  the next thing I wanted to talk about
• 26:37
  is not Chrissy cream.
• 26:38
  Um,
• 26:39
  but I hope wish her well in all her
• 26:40
  endeavors.
• 26:42
  Um, so TFX happened.
• 26:49
  We had Sydney McElishan and William Leahy,
• 26:52
  the fourth win.
• 26:52
  And I'm not going to get
• 26:55
  into a lot of details, but what,
• 26:57
  what does it mean for both of them?
• 27:00
  I have opinions,
• 27:01
  but I want to know if that,
• 27:03
  because like Kelly Baker
• 27:04
  won last year and then
• 27:06
  ended up making the games.
• 27:10
  Yeah.
• 27:11
  So what does that mean for these two?
• 27:15
  Well, I mean,
• 27:18
  Well, William's been on everyone's radar,
• 27:20
  I feel like,
• 27:20
  so I think that's got to give
• 27:25
  him a little more confidence.
• 27:28
  For Sydney, I mean,
• 27:29
  I think she needs more of
• 27:30
  these wins in her competitive atmosphere.
• 27:37
  Where's she at now?
• 27:39
  Proven.
• 27:40
  same coach same coke jared
• 27:43
  smith moved to proven is
• 27:45
  still coaching her but they
• 27:47
  both moved to nashville
• 27:48
  okay yeah I mean same with
• 27:54
  all the wins that we talked
• 27:55
  about like doesn't like
• 27:56
  when gives somebody
• 27:57
  confidence going in and if
• 27:59
  if just in your mind you're
• 28:00
  a winner like that can be
• 28:02
  dangerous well here here
• 28:05
  are my initial thoughts
• 28:07
  william leahy won a live competition
• 28:11
  being judged.
• 28:13
  That is huge.
• 28:17
  He was so young to the sport
• 28:19
  and so oblivious to the
• 28:20
  rules that he was breaking all of them.
• 28:23
  Right.
• 28:24
  And the fact that he got a
• 28:26
  win at a legit mid-major
• 28:29
  competition with judging is
• 28:32
  a huge step forward for him.
• 28:35
  Because the dude is fit.
• 28:37
  It's just,
• 28:39
  can he get through the obstacles
• 28:43
  that keep tripping him up?
• 28:45
  I think this is a good first step.
• 28:48
  For Sydney,
• 28:49
  who is a dear friend of the show,
• 28:51
  we followed her all last year.
• 28:55
  She took fourth on Chop Wood Carry Water,
• 28:59
  which had a two-mile run in it.
• 29:02
  I think that alone...
• 29:04
  a fourth place finish in a
• 29:07
  decent competition is a
• 29:09
  huge sign for her.
• 29:11
  Because everybody knows she can lift.
• 29:16
  Everybody knows she can take
• 29:17
  care of the heavy stuff,
• 29:18
  the power output on machines,
• 29:20
  all of that stuff.
• 29:22
  The fact that she took
• 29:23
  fourth in a row and run
• 29:24
  event was impressive.
• 29:27
  And it's two miles, not just a 400.
• 29:31
  Like, I think that is...
• 29:35
  A legit,
• 29:36
  a legit confidence builder for her
• 29:40
  going into the season.
• 29:42
  How did it,
• 29:43
  was it 2K row into two mile run?
• 29:47
  What was it?
• 29:55
  It was 2K row,
• 29:56
  250 meter dumbbell farmer carry.
• 29:58
  Okay.
• 29:59
  Two mile run.
• 30:00
  40 pound dumbbells.
• 30:03
  So 50 pound dumbbells for women.
• 30:06
  I'd be curious what her run
• 30:09
  split was or like how far
• 30:11
  ahead she was or did she
• 30:13
  just hold people off what it was.
• 30:16
  I didn't get any TFX coverage,
• 30:18
  so I have no idea.
• 30:19
  Yeah.
• 30:23
  If you've never been,
• 30:24
  it's in the middle of nowhere.
• 30:26
  I have been.
• 30:28
  Yes, we ran through a field, Veronica.
• 30:30
  It was interesting.
• 30:31
  Interesting.
• 30:33
  yeah it's I call it the
• 30:35
  three ring circus they have
• 30:37
  three pads um that they run
• 30:42
  events continuously through
• 30:45
  and uh yeah trent tools
• 30:49
  yeah footing's not not good
• 30:50
  there um tristan said it
• 30:54
  was slow they were in the
• 30:55
  mud and there was a good spread
• 31:02
  So, yeah.
• 31:06
  But anyway, those are my thoughts.
• 31:09
  Yeah, that's awesome.
• 31:10
  I mean, yeah,
• 31:12
  they just got to take the win
• 31:13
  and just keep trucking.
• 31:15
  And she beat Abby Domet.
• 31:18
  Yeah.
• 31:18
  That's huge.
• 31:20
  Who 15 points beat her by 15 ish,
• 31:24
  a little bit more.
• 31:26
  So that's,
• 31:28
  that's huge for her because
• 31:30
  that's a games athlete.
• 31:31
  That's where she wants to be.
• 31:32
  I think that was, was awesome for her.
• 31:36
  Yeah.
• 31:38
  I,
• 31:40
  I don't want to make it
• 31:40
  sound like I don't like TFX.
• 31:42
  I think it's a really cool
• 31:43
  competition for what it is.
• 31:45
  And,
• 31:46
  and it is a mid-major and embraces it.
• 31:47
  And it's, it's got fun events, man.
• 31:50
  But to get out there every day,
• 31:53
  we covered it two years ago.
• 31:56
  It just was a lot.
• 31:59
  And that like out by it,
• 32:01
  there was only one hotel at the time.
• 32:04
  So it just made it horrible.
• 32:07
  Yeah.
• 32:07
  We did it in 21 and it was,
• 32:10
  It was rough and cold.
• 32:17
  I did it 22.
• 32:17
  You'd have to come on
• 32:23
  Tristan and give us the, cause we didn't,
• 32:25
  I didn't see any coverage.
• 32:26
  So I honestly don't have a
• 32:26
  whole lot of opinions on it.
• 32:28
  I don't know what happened.
• 32:29
  I got a little,
• 32:30
  some stories here and there, but I've,
• 32:33
  I didn't know the events to tell you.
• 32:35
  I've heard some complaints, but I don't,
• 32:38
  uh,
• 32:42
  I didn't pay that much attention,
• 32:44
  I'll be honest,
• 32:45
  with everything going on this week.
• 32:46
  Yeah.
• 32:48
  So next topic,
• 32:49
  Hiller gets pulled from the open.
• 32:52
  Yeah.
• 32:52
  For PED use.
• 32:54
  Thoughts on that?
• 32:55
  I know you were a strong
• 32:57
  advocate against PED use.
• 33:01
  He admitted it several times on air.
• 33:06
  Yeah.
• 33:07
  I think it's a huge slippery
• 33:09
  slope to just...
• 33:11
  I mean, I guess he openly admitted it.
• 33:13
  So that's different than like people, like,
• 33:15
  I mean, I suppose if you accuse people,
• 33:16
  like they can randomly drug test,
• 33:18
  but I just, I think,
• 33:22
  I think the problem is
• 33:22
  going to be if he's able to
• 33:24
  procure a negative test and
• 33:28
  then it just shows that probably it's,
• 33:30
  it's rampant.
• 33:33
  Well, he said it would take.
• 33:36
  It would,
• 33:36
  it would take like 14 days for
• 33:39
  him to get a negative test.
• 33:41
  So if I'm CrossFit, I test him like now,
• 33:43
  right now, I totally agree.
• 33:46
  Just test.
• 33:48
  They should not just
• 33:49
  arbitrarily remove him.
• 33:51
  They need to follow their
• 33:52
  protocol and test them and
• 33:56
  they should test them.
• 33:57
  Can money for the PR?
• 34:01
  Yeah.
• 34:05
  Because it will get views
• 34:07
  because of Hiller.
• 34:08
  Right.
• 34:10
  If they test me, nobody gives a shit.
• 34:15
  Right?
• 34:16
  Yeah.
• 34:16
  Well, maybe a few people,
• 34:17
  but... But I like that
• 34:21
  Hiller came out and said
• 34:23
  they did what they should have done.
• 34:24
  This is what he was testing
• 34:27
  them on to see if they would pull him.
• 34:30
  And they ended up doing that.
• 34:31
  So...
• 34:34
  Maybe he won't push the appeal.
• 34:38
  He's got what,
• 34:39
  four other profiles in there?
• 34:42
  Who knows?
• 34:48
  That is a very good point.
• 34:51
  They're following the water rules.
• 34:52
  Admissions are sanctionable
• 34:54
  without any positive test results.
• 34:56
  I think it's a good rule.
• 35:02
  So...
• 35:05
  And thank you, Kenneth.
• 35:06
  I'm glad someone gives two shits.
• 35:14
  Tickets were on sale this
• 35:15
  week for the CrossFit Games.
• 35:18
  Super early,
• 35:18
  so you don't even know who's
• 35:19
  going to be there this year.
• 35:23
  And they're sold out.
• 35:25
  Already sold out.
• 35:25
  And a whole group of us have
• 35:29
  no idea when or where we're
• 35:30
  even competing.
• 35:31
  How do we make decisions?
• 35:34
  Right.
• 35:37
  Yes, they should refund his open fee.
• 35:38
  That's ridiculous.
• 35:40
  I mean,
• 35:42
  I don't know why you don't just let
• 35:43
  him compete with like an ass.
• 35:48
  Do they care about the open?
• 35:50
  Really?
• 35:51
  Or they just care about advancing?
• 35:52
  Like, let him compete.
• 35:55
  Make us have a score with an
• 35:57
  asterisk or whatever.
• 35:58
  So you're going to let Anna
• 36:01
  Frackow compete with an asterisk?
• 36:04
  Sure.
• 36:05
  Put your score in.
• 36:06
  People might want to see
• 36:07
  where they stack up against these people.
• 36:12
  I disagree.
• 36:13
  It's a rule.
• 36:15
  You're out.
• 36:17
  They can't compete at the CrossFit Games.
• 36:24
  A CrossFit sanctioned event.
• 36:28
  That's what the drug policy covers.
• 36:32
  All CrossFit sanctioned events.
• 36:34
  All of the season is CrossFit sanctioned.
• 36:40
  Yeah.
• 36:46
  I'm going Sizzler.
• 36:50
  Coach Krispy Kreme with,
• 36:51
  if we can compete with an asterisk,
• 36:52
  I'm going Sizzler.
• 36:59
  So, yeah.
• 37:05
  In all the sports I follow,
• 37:06
  you pot for drugs, you're out.
• 37:09
  No asterisk.
• 37:10
  Yeah.
• 37:10
  I feel like the open is a
• 37:12
  little bit different than other.
• 37:15
  I just do.
• 37:16
  Like, I don't know.
• 37:19
  It's still as, as a schlep athlete,
• 37:24
  I still don't want to
• 37:25
  compete against drug juiced up guys.
• 37:28
  But are you?
• 37:30
  Oh, I'm sure.
• 37:32
  Well, I mean,
• 37:33
  but are you if it's like an
• 37:35
  asterisk of some sort or
• 37:37
  they're not like they're not.
• 37:39
  Listen,
• 37:40
  if he wants to do the workouts and
• 37:42
  post a score on his YouTube,
• 37:43
  it'll get more views than
• 37:45
  if we go look at the leaderboard.
• 37:48
  He can still do that.
• 37:50
  It's all public.
• 37:51
  He can do the workouts.
• 37:53
  He doesn't need to be on the leaderboard.
• 37:54
  It's 20 bucks for CrossFit.
• 38:04
  we'll be okay without 20 bucks.
• 38:08
  I don't know anything about
• 38:10
  the medical use exemptions, Andrew.
• 38:13
  We talked to Tony Tursky
• 38:15
  about it in TRT with the Masters athletes,
• 38:21
  and there are rules in
• 38:22
  place of what your testosterone can be.
• 38:27
  It can't go over a certain level.
• 38:29
  It's a bunch of stuff.
• 38:32
  but I am not an expert in
• 38:33
  that and don't want to say
• 38:35
  anything that would be, uh, wrong.
• 38:41
  Yeah.
• 38:41
  But I am sure there are
• 38:44
  several masters athletes
• 38:46
  taking their tea to the,
• 38:48
  to the line of whatever
• 38:49
  it's supposed to be.
• 38:55
  So we had Boz on this week.
• 38:59
  You did.
• 39:02
  Got some answers from him.
• 39:04
  Yeah.
• 39:06
  I just put a reel out where
• 39:09
  I asked him about the
• 39:10
  balance between moving the
• 39:12
  sport forward and everybody
• 39:14
  wanting to hold on to the past.
• 39:17
  And his answer was so eloquent.
• 39:19
  It was just like,
• 39:21
  I think a lot of us have
• 39:22
  the problem where we
• 39:24
  romanticize the past to a
• 39:26
  point where it's not what
• 39:28
  really happened.
• 39:31
  And those of us who went
• 39:32
  through it remember the,
• 39:36
  the stuff they went through.
• 39:38
  Yeah.
• 39:41
  So I just thought that was cool.
• 39:43
  Yeah.
• 39:43
  I thought he did good on
• 39:45
  speaking on like several fronts of that.
• 39:47
  And like,
• 39:50
  getting stuck in a routine
• 39:51
  or like once you know
• 39:52
  Madison and this is how you
• 39:53
  run things like change is hard,
• 39:56
  but like you, you know,
• 39:57
  the best growth is made out of change.
• 39:59
  So maybe we'll find
• 40:00
  something great out of the move to,
• 40:04
  to Dickies.
• 40:05
  Like, you know, I mean,
• 40:08
  we like to complain, but he's right.
• 40:10
  You get stuck in a rut or
• 40:12
  you just do things.
• 40:13
  Cause that's the way it's been done.
• 40:14
  It might not be the best way to do it.
• 40:16
  Yeah.
• 40:18
  Yeah.
• 40:20
  uh, like no layouts in the open this year.
• 40:24
  I, I mean,
• 40:25
  I think that's the way to do it.
• 40:27
  Like it's hard on the gyms
• 40:28
  to set up floors and stuff like just,
• 40:31
  they just said like safety guidelines,
• 40:33
  like don't put the walk rig under the,
• 40:35
  yeah, perfect.
• 40:36
  Like, yeah.
• 40:37
  Like if there's a rower and a pull up bar,
• 40:41
  maybe six feet just to make
• 40:42
  sure people don't kill
• 40:44
  themselves or let a bar
• 40:46
  roll under them while
• 40:47
  they're on the pull up bar.
• 40:48
  Yeah.
• 40:48
  Things like that.
• 40:50
  but no like big time layouts
• 40:51
  like in the past.
• 40:55
  Which leads me to believe
• 40:57
  there's no lunging or shuttling.
• 41:04
  Well, I think you can have shuttling.
• 41:07
  We did that before layouts.
• 41:10
  We did handstand walks.
• 41:11
  We did bear crawls.
• 41:13
  We did lunges.
• 41:16
  It's just like a tape line
• 41:17
  at the end and beginning
• 41:20
  instead of like a whole box
• 41:22
  measured out six feet from
• 41:24
  the edge line to this.
• 41:27
  You know what I mean?
• 41:27
  Sure.
• 41:28
  Yeah.
• 41:30
  Yeah.
• 41:32
  I asked him about the
• 41:33
  masters and why in the age group,
• 41:36
  why we don't have dates and times.
• 41:41
  And he said, trying to find the right fit.
• 41:44
  So everybody has a great
• 41:45
  experience and they're
• 41:47
  struggling with that.
• 41:48
  And I asked him,
• 41:50
  do you have systems in
• 41:51
  place that this will not
• 41:52
  happen again after what
• 41:54
  you've learned this year?
• 41:56
  And he said, yes.
• 42:00
  Well, I would assume that,
• 42:02
  Like, with Dickies, they got, what,
• 42:04
  a two-year, at least?
• 42:06
  I don't know.
• 42:08
  I mean,
• 42:08
  I assume whatever they finally lock
• 42:10
  in for Masters,
• 42:12
  they're going to lock in for two years.
• 42:15
  Or if they don't get what they want,
• 42:17
  if they have to end up
• 42:18
  settling on something soon,
• 42:21
  they're probably going to
• 42:22
  continue to push whatever
• 42:23
  they want and continue to
• 42:25
  work on it for the next
• 42:26
  several months until they
• 42:27
  can lock it in for the following year.
• 42:29
  I would assume.
• 42:30
  I really wish, though, he would have...
• 42:33
  been more open with that and
• 42:36
  I don't know if it has to
• 42:37
  do with whatever city
• 42:38
  they're working with has
• 42:39
  asked for like no I like I
• 42:44
  just wish he would have
• 42:45
  been like listen like we're
• 42:46
  trying to go over to the
• 42:47
  east coast and we're
• 42:49
  struggling but like these
• 42:50
  are our three options we
• 42:51
  hope to have a date have a
• 42:53
  place for you within the
• 42:55
  next month you know we're
• 42:56
  still working on some
• 42:57
  things I just just some
• 42:59
  like can't they be more
• 43:00
  forthcoming they have to know something
• 43:04
  You'd have to think they, right.
• 43:06
  They have like three they're
• 43:07
  working on trying to figure it out.
• 43:09
  I would hope they're down to
• 43:12
  two or one at this point
• 43:14
  and just negotiating details.
• 43:16
  But my gosh, like we, I mean,
• 43:19
  why can't you put that out
• 43:20
  there in Michigan?
• 43:22
  Exactly.
• 43:23
  We just don't know when.
• 43:25
  Well, I think it's pretty clear.
• 43:26
  There's is going to be the
• 43:27
  exact same weekend.
• 43:28
  It's always been.
• 43:29
  Like,
• 43:30
  that's the thing is I feel like
• 43:32
  everyone knows everything
• 43:33
  except for the wheel wads set.
• 43:36
  Time, place.
• 43:37
  Pit, place for sure.
• 43:40
  Time, I think,
• 43:41
  is pretty certain amongst everybody.
• 43:44
  Zero for Masters.
• 43:46
  Like, give us something.
• 43:47
  Just be like,
• 43:48
  it's down to these two cities.
• 43:49
  We're still working on it.
• 43:50
  I don't know.
• 43:56
  I couldn't agree more.
• 43:57
  You should have asked that.
• 43:59
  I would have.
• 44:02
  I think the interesting
• 44:03
  thing is consistent
• 44:04
  programming this year for the semis.
• 44:07
  Yeah.
• 44:08
  Even though the facilities
• 44:10
  are going to be very
• 44:10
  different and I'm going to
• 44:13
  be anxious to see how that turns out.
• 44:17
  And especially with the
• 44:18
  tennis stadium compared to
• 44:21
  indoor basketball arenas,
• 44:26
  that is a completely different floor.
• 44:31
  Well, if they put down the mats,
• 44:32
  it all works out to be the same floor.
• 44:35
  Different shape, though.
• 44:37
  Yeah.
• 44:39
  I mean,
• 44:40
  do you think they'll take that into
• 44:41
  consideration when they're
• 44:42
  trying to program things to
• 44:43
  make sure it can be as
• 44:45
  uniform as possible?
• 44:45
  Like, sure,
• 44:46
  one might be one might have a
• 44:48
  little bit of extra space,
• 44:51
  which would suck because then you can't
• 44:54
  You can't really compare
• 44:55
  times if they aren't the same,
• 44:57
  but it's not a global leaderboard,
• 45:00
  so it doesn't really matter
• 45:01
  if it's hotter outside in
• 45:04
  California than the indoor.
• 45:05
  It doesn't really matter.
• 45:06
  The people there are a redo
• 45:12
  of the sled drag debacle.
• 45:15
  Different floor material.
• 45:17
  Yeah.
• 45:17
  Someone on a podcast I was
• 45:18
  watching brought up the,
• 45:20
  I think it was with
• 45:21
  something chase was on and
• 45:23
  he'd lost his shit, but like,
• 45:26
  can't we do a global
• 45:27
  leaderboard in the top 40?
• 45:28
  Just go to the games.
• 45:30
  There are too many.
• 45:31
  You look at these venues.
• 45:32
  There's no way you can make
• 45:35
  a consistent flooring to compare.
• 45:39
  It sucks.
• 45:41
  That's what I would like to see.
• 45:42
  Or some outdoor.
• 45:44
  You know,
• 45:44
  Tori and we learned last year
• 45:45
  their floor was way faster than the U.S.
• 45:49
  floor.
• 45:51
  It just... You just have to.
• 45:56
  Yep, it sucks.
• 45:59
  He also announced the
• 46:00
  quarterfinals will be done
• 46:02
  in a way where everybody
• 46:03
  can kind of put their toe
• 46:05
  on the start line and start the event,
• 46:07
  but not everybody's going to finish.
• 46:09
  Yep.
• 46:10
  So we're having all...
• 46:14
  all the like gated workouts
• 46:16
  or ascending weight or interesting.
• 46:25
  And then I asked him about working with,
• 46:28
  Dave and Dawn.
• 46:30
  Um,
• 46:31
  I was really curious about the Dave one
• 46:33
  because it's,
• 46:34
  it's like he got this gig
• 46:37
  and then the guy who had
• 46:38
  the gig before shows back up.
• 46:41
  How does that work?
• 46:42
  And, you know,
• 46:43
  he's like him and Dave been
• 46:45
  through some shit and that
• 46:47
  because of that,
• 46:48
  they're very open and
• 46:50
  honest with each other and
• 46:50
  have a great working
• 46:52
  relationship together.
• 46:54
  Um,
• 46:56
  and he was very complimentary of
• 46:57
  working for Dawn.
• 47:00
  which was really cool.
• 47:02
  My overall impressions,
• 47:04
  I'm always impressed with Boz.
• 47:05
  That man is so level.
• 47:07
  He never gets emotional
• 47:09
  about anything you ask him.
• 47:11
  It's just straight across the board.
• 47:14
  It's just really cool to see
• 47:19
  how well he handles himself.
• 47:21
  Yeah, I agree.
• 47:27
  So then we have,
• 47:30
  This week,
• 47:30
  something happened where my
• 47:33
  worlds collided.
• 47:35
  Cause like I'm a huge sports fan.
• 47:37
  I watch a lot of sports
• 47:38
  stuff and I've been diving
• 47:40
  a lot into football because
• 47:42
  of the playoffs and my love
• 47:44
  for the bears.
• 47:46
  And what are they doing with
• 47:46
  Justin Fields?
• 47:48
  But I'm watching Pat McAfee
• 47:51
  and on comes Tom Brady
• 47:53
  talking about his merger with noble.
• 47:59
  On the Pat McAfee show.
• 48:03
  Noble never got that kind of
• 48:05
  media coverage ever.
• 48:08
  Nope.
• 48:11
  So what are your initial
• 48:14
  thoughts about Tom Brady
• 48:16
  and Noble merging?
• 48:18
  I don't know.
• 48:22
  I mean,
• 48:22
  they seem to be going that route
• 48:24
  with into the football space.
• 48:25
  So like, isn't the biggest shock.
• 48:29
  I not a fan of noble, so it is what it is.
• 48:33
  Like they're out of pretty
• 48:35
  much out of the crosses space and okay.
• 48:38
  Cool.
• 48:40
  What I found interesting and
• 48:42
  pretty fascinating is Tom
• 48:45
  Brady's looking at it as a
• 48:47
  way to market his pliability programs.
• 48:54
  Hmm.
• 48:57
  that it gets him closer to
• 49:02
  average Joe American.
• 49:05
  Interesting.
• 49:08
  So I don't think it's,
• 49:10
  it's about the shoes that
• 49:12
  he's merging with them for.
• 49:14
  It's probably apparel and
• 49:16
  it's probably equipment for
• 49:19
  his pliability program.
• 49:21
  And probably like developing
• 49:23
  an app or something like
• 49:25
  that to make it more
• 49:27
  accessible for everyday people.
• 49:32
  So I think it's going to be
• 49:33
  a shift in focus for Noble.
• 49:36
  Yeah.
• 49:38
  And maybe not the shoes that suck anyway.
• 49:42
  Yeah.
• 49:48
  So I just thought that was interesting.
• 49:51
  Yeah.
• 49:52
  He'll probably turn the company around.
• 49:55
  Um,
• 49:56
  the next thing I had was got an email
• 50:00
  from CrossFit this week.
• 50:03
  Got a lot of them, um,
• 50:06
  that they are going to be
• 50:08
  reducing the media
• 50:10
  footprint at the CrossFit games.
• 50:16
  And so
• 50:19
  They were warning us that
• 50:21
  just because you got media
• 50:24
  credentials last year,
• 50:26
  doesn't mean you're going
• 50:27
  to get them this year.
• 50:28
  Right.
• 50:31
  Because with it being all indoors,
• 50:34
  they don't have this
• 50:34
  massive soccer field to
• 50:39
  have 100 photographers taking pictures.
• 50:44
  Andrew, there is no media pits.
• 50:47
  The press release said that.
• 50:51
  It is,
• 50:52
  we get the front row of the one side
• 50:57
  will all be media.
• 51:01
  but it's not a place where
• 51:03
  you can stand and move.
• 51:07
  You know what I mean?
• 51:08
  When you're in a row of seats,
• 51:11
  you can't move up and down
• 51:12
  the floor to get pictures or whatever.
• 51:18
  So I want to just put it out there.
• 51:22
  One,
• 51:23
  I think I don't need to take pictures
• 51:27
  at the CrossFit Games.
• 51:30
  That's not my, it's not my specialty.
• 51:32
  It's not what I do best.
• 51:34
  I'd rather have someone do it for me.
• 51:37
  Like we did with Jess and Teddy last year.
• 51:42
  I'd rather like,
• 51:43
  why don't they have a press box?
• 51:46
  A brand new facility for
• 51:48
  people like me who are just
• 51:50
  covering the sport.
• 51:52
  And I don't need to be that
• 51:54
  close to the action.
• 51:55
  I just need to be able to
• 51:56
  see what's going on so I
• 51:58
  can cover it as an analyst
• 52:00
  and a media company.
• 52:02
  Yep.
• 52:02
  So yeah,
• 52:09
  I would think with a brand new arena,
• 52:11
  they probably have a press box.
• 52:14
  Like why not use that for the press?
• 52:18
  And then like the
• 52:19
  videographers and
• 52:20
  photographers can have that front row.
• 52:22
  Doesn't that make sense?
• 52:27
  Completely.
• 52:28
  You should have asked Bob this.
• 52:33
  I'm actually thinking about
• 52:34
  putting it in an email and
• 52:36
  sending it back to Chris.
• 52:38
  I think that's great idea.
• 52:41
  Yeah,
• 52:41
  because I think there's quite a few
• 52:45
  people in that camp that
• 52:46
  don't necessarily need the still shots.
• 52:52
  That's gonna be I feel like
• 52:53
  that's a little bit more of
• 52:54
  like your couple photographers, but like,
• 52:57
  that'll be more of your
• 52:59
  camps that want to have a
• 53:01
  media person being able to
• 53:02
  get photos or videos of
• 53:05
  their athletes on the floor.
• 53:06
  That's completely different
• 53:08
  than what you do.
• 53:09
  I feel like the media and
• 53:11
  the photography need to be
• 53:13
  like separate somehow.
• 53:15
  And even like...
• 53:17
  have a press pool of media like that,
• 53:21
  like still shots of every,
• 53:23
  of every athlete that we
• 53:24
  can go grab to do or whatever.
• 53:26
  And,
• 53:32
  I look at it like when I'm, again,
• 53:34
  I've been diving deep in the NFL.
• 53:36
  I'm a big Chicago Bears fan.
• 53:38
  Their sports writers,
• 53:39
  their beat writers are in the press box.
• 53:43
  They're writing the story so
• 53:45
  that they can do like a
• 53:46
  wrap-up show afterwards on their podcast,
• 53:50
  just like we would be doing.
• 53:51
  They're not taking the pictures, right?
• 53:55
  Like the Chicago Tribune has
• 53:57
  photographers that don't write.
• 54:00
  They just shoot pictures.
• 54:04
  So I think that we need to
• 54:08
  advance the way we look at
• 54:10
  coverage at events like that.
• 54:13
  Back in the day,
• 54:14
  everybody was doing
• 54:15
  everything because that's all we could,
• 54:18
  we didn't have anybody else, right?
• 54:21
  Yeah.
• 54:21
  My first year at the games,
• 54:22
  I'm taking the pictures,
• 54:23
  I'm taking the video,
• 54:25
  I'm doing the podcast,
• 54:26
  I'm doing all that myself.
• 54:28
  But you got to develop into
• 54:30
  an area where that's not
• 54:31
  the case anymore.
• 54:33
  Mm-hmm.
• 54:35
  And then throughout the week
• 54:37
  they're on different shows.
• 54:39
  They've talked about alternative media to,
• 54:45
  to be different and not
• 54:46
  just do the same old, same old.
• 54:48
  And I think I said it on here,
• 54:50
  either on the round table or last week,
• 54:53
  watching the behind the scenes,
• 54:55
  you see so many cameras,
• 54:57
  like so many people in the
• 54:59
  underbelly of the,
• 55:01
  the arena doing buttery bros doing theirs,
• 55:04
  Craig Ritchie doing theirs,
• 55:06
  Savan doing his,
• 55:07
  and then you have mayhem down there.
• 55:09
  You have Lauren Khalil down there.
• 55:11
  You have Wikey down there.
• 55:13
  You have coffee pods and wads down there.
• 55:16
  You have all these people
• 55:16
  walking around doing the same damn thing.
• 55:23
  So like, so then my, my brain's rolling.
• 55:27
  Like, what can we do?
• 55:28
  That's different than that.
• 55:32
  And I think the mic'd up is
• 55:34
  a really cool concept.
• 55:39
  I love that coverage, yeah.
• 55:42
  You mic up an athlete,
• 55:45
  you get kind of the behind
• 55:46
  the scenes stuff.
• 55:47
  And I know that that comes with...
• 55:52
  rebuttal from another side
• 55:53
  that thinks that you're not
• 55:55
  getting the real person or
• 55:56
  it's going to be too much
• 55:57
  pressure for the athlete.
• 56:00
  They're going to feel forced
• 56:01
  to do it to stay competitive.
• 56:03
  But I just,
• 56:04
  I think like when I watched my
• 56:06
  football mic'd ups,
• 56:08
  the football player forgets
• 56:09
  they're mic'd up at some point.
• 56:10
  Yeah.
• 56:12
  And it becomes real.
• 56:15
  Dallin Pepper said,
• 56:17
  why not have still cameras
• 56:18
  in the warmup area?
• 56:21
  Like nobody manning them,
• 56:22
  just still cameras of them
• 56:24
  like warming up and chatting.
• 56:27
  And that's great B-roll.
• 56:29
  Yeah.
• 56:30
  You know,
• 56:31
  stuff that we don't get to see normally.
• 56:35
  And then you look at Rogue.
• 56:37
  Like why the hell aren't
• 56:39
  other competitions doing
• 56:41
  that alternate broadcast
• 56:43
  that Rogue did with the
• 56:45
  four camera angles and the
• 56:47
  alternate broadcast?
• 56:50
  Because I would pay for that
• 56:52
  every freaking comp.
• 56:57
  It was so much better than
• 56:58
  the regular one.
• 57:01
  Yeah.
• 57:02
  I mean,
• 57:02
  if you can't get to the camp and
• 57:05
  that's your cheaper ticket,
• 57:08
  That's, I mean, that's reasonable.
• 57:13
  Yeah.
• 57:14
  Kendra.
• 57:15
  Great point.
• 57:16
  Live feed from the warmup
• 57:17
  area comes with the premium
• 57:19
  game game stream.
• 57:23
  Yeah.
• 57:29
  Tristan makes a great point.
• 57:31
  Michael, Mike McDaniel, the dolphins,
• 57:33
  like that guy mic'd up is
• 57:35
  pure gold every week.
• 57:38
  yeah so then it comes to
• 57:41
  like other other events uh
• 57:45
  open announcements that's a
• 57:49
  way to uh hopefully not
• 57:57
  anymore andrew andrew says
• 57:59
  can't do that uh then we'd
• 58:01
  see ricky get past
• 58:02
  something fishy oh I'd love
• 58:07
  to see you mic'd up tristan
• 58:10
  He'd probably blow out the
• 58:11
  mic after a minute.
• 58:17
  Open announcements.
• 58:18
  This was talked about on, I think,
• 58:21
  Coffee Pods and Wads around
• 58:23
  the whiteboard.
• 58:25
  Like, how can we make them more exciting?
• 58:29
  And basically, they all said,
• 58:35
  we need to stop having the
• 58:36
  friendly competition.
• 58:40
  Like,
• 58:40
  it should be Roman versus Adler in
• 58:43
  the first open announcement.
• 58:47
  Let's get it on.
• 58:49
  Love it.
• 58:49
  Let's settle this once and for all.
• 58:53
  And look at the matchups.
• 58:54
  Like,
• 58:54
  how interesting of a matchup can you
• 58:56
  make instead of... And like,
• 59:02
  I think it was O'Keefe said,
• 59:04
  Dallin and Hopper.
• 59:05
  Like, those two talk smack all the time.
• 59:08
  Yeah.
• 59:09
  And they're just good personalities.
• 59:12
  Of course,
• 59:13
  like Laura and Tia would be
• 59:15
  awesome from just a
• 59:17
  competitive standpoint.
• 59:18
  But I thought like Ariel and Alex,
• 59:21
  when they did that
• 59:21
  head-to-head burpee box over event,
• 59:26
  like burpee for burpee,
• 59:30
  it was almost a virtual tie.
• 59:33
  Let's settle this like once and for all.
• 59:39
  I like Justin versus Lazar, Ken.
• 59:41
  That's a good one.
• 59:47
  That's a great one.
• 59:48
  That is a good one.
• 59:51
  That's a great one.
• 59:53
  In a bike race.
• 59:57
  Yeah.
• 59:59
  Emma Carey versus the wall.
• 1:00:07
  I just think like they need
• 1:00:09
  to be more thoughtful of
• 1:00:12
  instead of it being like two friends,
• 1:00:15
  like what makes the best matchup.
• 1:00:21
  Agreed.
• 1:00:23
  And you got to know the workout.
• 1:00:24
  Like let's get our two
• 1:00:27
  gymnastics athletes
• 1:00:28
  together for a gymnastic
• 1:00:30
  open announcement.
• 1:00:34
  Tristan says,
• 1:00:35
  Burtons versus literally anyone.
• 1:00:37
  Well,
• 1:00:37
  since Waterpalooza called them all
• 1:00:39
  bitches, probably.
• 1:00:41
  He was having some serious
• 1:00:44
  trash talking that weekend.
• 1:00:47
  He was.
• 1:00:49
  He's really become kind of
• 1:00:51
  like one of the biggest
• 1:00:51
  trash talkers in the sport.
• 1:00:53
  Yeah.
• 1:00:54
  But I just think like, I think it was...
• 1:01:01
  I can't remember who said,
• 1:01:03
  it might've been Will
• 1:01:04
  Branstetter said that, you know, the NFL,
• 1:01:09
  it was O'Keefe.
• 1:01:10
  And then Branstetter kind of jumped on it.
• 1:01:13
  O'Keefe said that the NFL
• 1:01:14
  for a couple of years has
• 1:01:16
  been trying to push
• 1:01:18
  alternative media like TikTok and,
• 1:01:22
  and allowing that like on
• 1:01:24
  the field access to them to
• 1:01:26
  be able to do like cool
• 1:01:28
  TikToks to promote the league.
• 1:01:29
  Yeah.
• 1:01:31
  And you have a big, um,
• 1:01:34
  and if like the NFL is the
• 1:01:35
  biggest sport in the world
• 1:01:37
  doing that and yet CrossFit
• 1:01:39
  like restricts that.
• 1:01:41
  Yeah.
• 1:01:44
  Right there.
• 1:01:45
  The NFL is still trying to
• 1:01:46
  grow and they're the
• 1:01:47
  biggest in the world.
• 1:01:49
  CrossFit's rejecting those,
• 1:01:51
  those thoughts and those ideas.
• 1:01:53
  Yeah.
• 1:01:56
  Which is crazy.
• 1:01:58
  It is.
• 1:01:58
  I don't know why they want to.
• 1:02:04
  They're,
• 1:02:06
  they're trying to be so in control
• 1:02:09
  of the narrative, yet.
• 1:02:10
  They're so not like they, you know,
• 1:02:13
  it's so strange.
• 1:02:21
  I don't think we'd turn into WWE.
• 1:02:23
  The NFL has not come close to that.
• 1:02:26
  Um, scripting just for drama.
• 1:02:28
  It's an open announcement.
• 1:02:30
  It's not an official piece of the games.
• 1:02:34
  Like let those stories play
• 1:02:36
  out naturally at the games,
• 1:02:39
  but an open announcement,
• 1:02:40
  you only have three of them.
• 1:02:41
  It's at the very start of the season.
• 1:02:43
  You're just trying to get
• 1:02:44
  people excited and people
• 1:02:46
  to sign up and they're just
• 1:02:48
  add a little drama.
• 1:02:49
  Are they going to actually
• 1:02:50
  do open announcements this year?
• 1:02:52
  Did they say they are?
• 1:02:53
  I do believe they are.
• 1:02:57
  And I do believe they've
• 1:02:59
  talked about locations maybe.
• 1:03:01
  Okay.
• 1:03:03
  But nothing's been announced.
• 1:03:07
  I feel, I mean,
• 1:03:07
  I feel like Savan's just
• 1:03:09
  trying to take that over
• 1:03:09
  with Taylor versus the
• 1:03:12
  world or whoever he's pairing up.
• 1:03:19
  You know,
• 1:03:19
  I actually thought that'd be
• 1:03:21
  something cool we could do
• 1:03:23
  with you if you weren't
• 1:03:25
  hurt all the time.
• 1:03:26
  That'd be fun.
• 1:03:32
  Yeah,
• 1:03:32
  I can try to do some open
• 1:03:33
  announcements for you.
• 1:03:36
  So I thought, you know,
• 1:03:37
  because you have a female perspective.
• 1:03:40
  Sure.
• 1:03:44
  But...
• 1:03:47
  And who knows,
• 1:03:47
  maybe we can get some of the
• 1:03:49
  people who have agreed to
• 1:03:51
  kind of hang out with us
• 1:03:52
  for the season to jump on,
• 1:03:54
  do it from their location
• 1:03:56
  and your location at the same time.
• 1:03:58
  A little friendly.
• 1:04:00
  That would be fun.
• 1:04:05
  So.
• 1:04:05
  Bring it on.
• 1:04:06
  Let's go.
• 1:04:10
  One Rip Mac Snatch, you and Hannah Black.
• 1:04:15
  Yeah.
• 1:04:16
  Yeah.
• 1:04:17
  That would not be super fun to watch,
• 1:04:20
  but... Yeah.
• 1:04:24
  Oh, Tristan's going to go against me.
• 1:04:27
  I'd film it.
• 1:04:28
  That'd be fun.
• 1:04:33
  But we could even talk to
• 1:04:34
  Kelly or anybody like that.
• 1:04:37
  Work with Ascend to get some athletes on.
• 1:04:40
  Get them some exposure.
• 1:04:45
  Be a fun time.
• 1:04:46
  Yeah.
• 1:04:49
  I wanted to finish it up
• 1:04:50
  with this question that was on death by.
• 1:04:53
  Okay.
• 1:04:57
  And it is of all the
• 1:04:59
  athletes that didn't make
• 1:05:00
  the games last year.
• 1:05:03
  Who do you think has the
• 1:05:04
  best chance to make the games this year?
• 1:05:08
  Now I'm going to put a
• 1:05:09
  caveat on this because I
• 1:05:13
  want this to be interesting because
• 1:05:15
  I think there are four
• 1:05:16
  obvious choices that I'm
• 1:05:17
  taking out of the,
• 1:05:19
  the picks and that is Tina,
• 1:05:22
  Ricky Saxon and Brooke.
• 1:05:25
  Okay.
• 1:05:28
  Oh, boy.
• 1:05:29
  Tia pregnancy,
• 1:05:31
  the other three because of injury.
• 1:05:32
  I think that they are
• 1:05:35
  obvious choices to make it back.
• 1:05:37
  I want a more deep dive who
• 1:05:40
  you think will make it to
• 1:05:42
  the games this year who did not last.
• 1:05:44
  And do you want me to go
• 1:05:46
  first or do you have
• 1:05:47
  something written down?
• 1:05:51
  I'll let you go first.
• 1:05:54
  Kenneth just took mine.
• 1:05:56
  That's what I was going to say.
• 1:05:58
  on a career.
• 1:05:59
  Yeah.
• 1:06:01
  I think this is the year she
• 1:06:02
  gets over the hump.
• 1:06:05
  Yeah, I do too.
• 1:06:07
  Um, for some reason,
• 1:06:08
  I just have a feeling like
• 1:06:09
  programming wise is gonna
• 1:06:11
  go in her favor.
• 1:06:12
  Um, man.
• 1:06:23
  Yeah, that's, that's a super tough one.
• 1:06:27
  Because I
• 1:06:29
  As much as I would want to
• 1:06:30
  say like Rebecca,
• 1:06:33
  it's so programming
• 1:06:34
  dependent that maybe after
• 1:06:37
  I saw the open workouts and
• 1:06:40
  could maybe have like an
• 1:06:41
  idea of where they're trying to head,
• 1:06:43
  you could say, but that's,
• 1:06:48
  she's too programming dependent,
• 1:06:49
  I feel like to say her.
• 1:06:54
  And then we got a bunch that
• 1:06:55
  are going team.
• 1:06:57
  Yeah.
• 1:07:00
  I just don't know.
• 1:07:01
  Like, I don't know either.
• 1:07:04
  I don't know what Haley
• 1:07:05
  Adams are getting back.
• 1:07:09
  Right.
• 1:07:10
  Like her on the leaderboard.
• 1:07:13
  Like, I don't know.
• 1:07:15
  I would give Rebecca a better shot.
• 1:07:18
  I think Rebecca has a great shot.
• 1:07:20
  What she did at Wadapalooza
• 1:07:21
  with her strength numbers.
• 1:07:23
  She is getting stronger.
• 1:07:27
  she just has to shrink that
• 1:07:28
  gap a little bit.
• 1:07:31
  And then hopefully that
• 1:07:32
  translates to moving
• 1:07:34
  moderate weight faster.
• 1:07:39
  But I think, but I think that that is,
• 1:07:45
  I think she has a great
• 1:07:45
  shot on the men's side.
• 1:07:48
  I think my horse is William Leahy.
• 1:07:58
  Now Hatfield.
• 1:08:02
  I think Hatfield is very much like Colton.
• 1:08:06
  He has home runs and then he has singles.
• 1:08:10
  And until Colton minimized the gap, like,
• 1:08:16
  and even now that he's minimized the gap,
• 1:08:19
  he's a on the cut line.
• 1:08:23
  He's on the cut line athlete
• 1:08:25
  to get to the games.
• 1:08:31
  Man, Tyler Crisfo,
• 1:08:35
  I kind of think he might be done, though.
• 1:08:40
  Or as John Young would put it,
• 1:08:41
  he's on the cliff.
• 1:08:43
  Yeah.
• 1:08:47
  Tetlo?
• 1:08:50
  I'd have to talk to Tetlo.
• 1:08:52
  It's all dependent for me on
• 1:08:56
  how much he can commit.
• 1:09:00
  family is his number one
• 1:09:01
  priority and has always been.
• 1:09:04
  And it all depends on where they're at.
• 1:09:08
  And I know his wife just
• 1:09:09
  opened a tattoo shop.
• 1:09:12
  So how much time does he get
• 1:09:14
  to actually train?
• 1:09:16
  Yeah.
• 1:09:17
  Cause I think that's the
• 1:09:18
  only thing that's ever held Tetlo back.
• 1:09:23
  I'd say it'd be somebody like Hoffer,
• 1:09:25
  Victor Hoffer.
• 1:09:30
  That was one of the picks.
• 1:09:32
  Okay.
• 1:09:36
  The tough thing was they
• 1:09:37
  were all picking their own people.
• 1:09:40
  Oh.
• 1:09:41
  Right.
• 1:09:43
  Yeah.
• 1:09:43
  I think Kotler picked Sarah.
• 1:09:45
  Yeah.
• 1:09:48
  Victor is HWPO.
• 1:09:50
  So O'Keefe picked him.
• 1:09:55
  And Chase Ingram picked Maddie Sturt.
• 1:10:01
  Yeah.
• 1:10:03
  That's a tough region for
• 1:10:05
  her to get out of.
• 1:10:08
  That Australian super team, holy cow.
• 1:10:11
  Is it Emily DeRoy?
• 1:10:12
  Is she the fourth?
• 1:10:14
  Yep, Cara, Emily, and Sean and Newberry.
• 1:10:19
  Yep.
• 1:10:23
  Yeah, that super team.
• 1:10:24
  We were actually,
• 1:10:25
  I was texting the
• 1:10:26
  roundtable crew tonight.
• 1:10:28
  That team is jacked.
• 1:10:31
  And it's going to be interesting.
• 1:10:37
  And then you,
• 1:10:39
  I kind of wish Royce was on the team.
• 1:10:41
  Then you'd have like, like Royce and Cara.
• 1:10:45
  I feel it'd be your two,
• 1:10:47
  like super strong athletes.
• 1:10:49
  Although Emily's super strong,
• 1:10:50
  but I don't know.
• 1:10:54
  I love James.
• 1:10:56
  Like, I just love that dude.
• 1:10:59
  Yeah.
• 1:10:59
  He's a good guy.
• 1:10:59
  I,
• 1:11:01
  I feel like his high-end
• 1:11:03
  CrossFit games appearances
• 1:11:08
  are just kind of over.
• 1:11:10
  I'm sure he'll be... I know.
• 1:11:13
  And with this team behind him,
• 1:11:15
  maybe he will.
• 1:11:17
  I just... I don't know.
• 1:11:19
  I'll be curious what he puts forth.
• 1:11:23
  So, as it stands today,
• 1:11:26
  you have the Australian Super Team.
• 1:11:27
  Mm-hmm.
• 1:11:30
  and you have noah tola
• 1:11:35
  mathilde and uh are they
• 1:11:45
  are they going with that
• 1:11:46
  with kelly baker's teammate
• 1:11:49
  no uh oslo oslo uh shoot
• 1:11:59
  She was on Oslo Blue.
• 1:12:07
  Lena Richter.
• 1:12:08
  Oh, yes.
• 1:12:09
  Yes.
• 1:12:11
  So Lena Richter, Mathilde Garnes,
• 1:12:14
  Noah Olsen, and Tola Maracanão.
• 1:12:18
  And then you have Newberry Khan, Cara,
• 1:12:23
  and Emily DeRoy.
• 1:12:25
  Who do you got right now?
• 1:12:29
  Tola steam.
• 1:12:35
  I think Tola is more well-rounded.
• 1:12:37
  Tola's team.
• 1:12:39
  Like Noah's going to get all
• 1:12:42
  the gymnastic stuff.
• 1:12:44
  I was going to hit all the big weights.
• 1:12:47
  Matilde is very versatile
• 1:12:50
  and really strong for her size.
• 1:12:52
  And Lena has been on a team
• 1:12:54
  that has done so well for so long.
• 1:12:57
  Right.
• 1:12:57
  Like she just knows how to
• 1:12:58
  play the team game.
• 1:13:02
  Yeah.
• 1:13:03
  Ken,
• 1:13:03
  that was where my head went when the
• 1:13:04
  question was announced.
• 1:13:06
  Who made it?
• 1:13:07
  Who isn't going to?
• 1:13:10
  But that just seems mean.
• 1:13:12
  Well, let's do it.
• 1:13:13
  I don't think it's that mean.
• 1:13:17
  But I think they're like, again,
• 1:13:18
  there's so many obvious answers.
• 1:13:23
  Yeah.
• 1:13:24
  I mean, yeah, you get your bottom.
• 1:13:26
  Anne Haines isn't coming back.
• 1:13:28
  Right.
• 1:13:29
  Well, that was a
• 1:13:31
  Fill in anyway.
• 1:13:32
  Right.
• 1:13:35
  But of the bigger names...
• 1:13:43
  If Yella doesn't make it back,
• 1:13:45
  I will be very frustrated
• 1:13:46
  with the system.
• 1:13:47
  I wouldn't say him.
• 1:13:48
  I think he's... I don't know.
• 1:13:54
  On the female side,
• 1:13:57
  I think Shelby Neal is going to struggle.
• 1:14:04
  And I only say that from
• 1:14:06
  like watching from a distance,
• 1:14:08
  she's withdrawn from
• 1:14:09
  competitions to take care of herself.
• 1:14:13
  And I think like she got a
• 1:14:16
  lot in a short amount of
• 1:14:17
  time and a lot of attention.
• 1:14:19
  And I think that it's just
• 1:14:21
  going to be a struggle for
• 1:14:22
  her going back next year on
• 1:14:26
  the men's side.
• 1:14:27
  I'll say hot and hot blinded.
• 1:14:34
  I think Will Morad.
• 1:14:35
  Yeah, that's a good one.
• 1:14:39
  And I love Will.
• 1:14:41
  But dude was at the first
• 1:14:42
  regional I ever worked.
• 1:14:44
  And that's a long time ago.
• 1:14:47
  Yeah, I mean,
• 1:14:48
  I kind of thought he was like
• 1:14:49
  retiring anyway.
• 1:14:54
  Will never retires.
• 1:14:56
  And he'll probably still
• 1:14:57
  make it because he's Will Morad.
• 1:15:00
  Right.
• 1:15:02
  Ellie Turner's a great pick.
• 1:15:04
  Yeah.
• 1:15:06
  I think Australia is getting stronger,
• 1:15:08
  but she may luck out
• 1:15:10
  depending on what's determined with Tia.
• 1:15:14
  Agreed.
• 1:15:15
  And with the girls going
• 1:15:17
  team and the underdogs
• 1:15:23
  athlete who is a mother.
• 1:15:26
  She had got the hernia.
• 1:15:30
  So she's been out for a little bit.
• 1:15:35
  Oh, um, Van Zyl.
• 1:15:38
  Van Zyl.
• 1:15:39
  Yeah.
• 1:15:39
  Yeah.
• 1:15:40
  Van Zyl.
• 1:15:41
  Yeah.
• 1:15:41
  So he's out.
• 1:15:43
  Emily DeRoy is on team.
• 1:15:44
  Tia doesn't compete there.
• 1:15:48
  Then you're like Grace Walton,
• 1:15:49
  Maddie Sturt, Ellie.
• 1:15:52
  Probably.
• 1:15:57
  Sarah, if you're Justin picking.
• 1:16:03
  Justin.
• 1:16:03
  Justin.
• 1:16:04
  toddler picking sarah well
• 1:16:06
  she won't be in australia
• 1:16:07
  oh that won't be the yeah
• 1:16:09
  that'll be the she'll be in
• 1:16:11
  europe yep yeah they're
• 1:16:15
  both I feel like those are
• 1:16:16
  both the tough europe's
• 1:16:17
  getting totally screwed
• 1:16:20
  yeah when I said to boss I
• 1:16:22
  hated that 40 60 or 40 80 I
• 1:16:25
  know that's just dumb
• 1:16:34
  Yeah.
• 1:16:34
  I just, Sarah, I just, I,
• 1:16:39
  as much as I want her to make it back,
• 1:16:42
  I think it's over.
• 1:16:45
  I do too.
• 1:16:47
  I hope she proves me wrong,
• 1:16:49
  but I think it's over.
• 1:16:51
  Yeah.
• 1:16:52
  Yep.
• 1:16:57
  So, well,
• 1:16:59
  I think we covered all the topics
• 1:17:01
  for the night.
• 1:17:03
  Yeah.
• 1:17:05
  Kenneth, that's just mean.
• 1:17:10
  Andrew said she should go team.
• 1:17:12
  Not a good idea.
• 1:17:14
  That's really probably where
• 1:17:16
  she should have been focused.
• 1:17:18
  Just to get healthy.
• 1:17:20
  Yep.
• 1:17:26
  Well, with that,
• 1:17:28
  that's a wrap for tonight.
• 1:17:33
  And we'll be back next week.
• 1:17:35
  And we may have... We
• 1:17:37
  probably will have...
• 1:17:39
  a big announcement about the
• 1:17:41
  show and where we may be
• 1:17:45
  appearing live somewhere.
• 1:17:48
  So super stoked for that.
• 1:17:52
  Just started the details today.
• 1:17:54
  Hopefully we'll have a full
• 1:17:56
  announcement for you guys
• 1:17:57
  next week because I want
• 1:17:59
  some input on this announcement.
• 1:18:02
  So make sure you tune back
• 1:18:03
  in to us next Thursday
• 1:18:05
  night for the big
• 1:18:06
  announcement about the show.
• 1:18:09
  And we will see everybody
• 1:18:11
  next time on Thursday night.
• 1:18:16
  CrossFit talk.
• 1:18:17

• 1:18:19
  to the end piece and now I'm there.
• 1:18:21
  So bye guys.
