3:01
uh as kenneth de lapp says
3:02
we are the original sunday
3:03
night crossfit talk um
3:07
But a lot has happened this weekend.
3:09
Before we get into some of that,
3:11
tomorrow at one p.m.
3:13
Eastern time, ten p. Ten a.m.
3:16
Pacific time,
3:18
we will be releasing episode
3:19
three of behind the scenes
3:21
of the twenty twenty four
3:22
Masters CrossFit Games.
3:24
And it is the rope climb
3:29
clean or sandbag clean
3:31
handstand walk event.
3:34
this one is going to be a
3:35
lot more Ellie Hiller forward.
3:38
Um,
3:38
she did a lot of the interviews for
3:39
this one.
3:41
Um,
3:41
so it's going to have a lot more of her
3:43
interviews coming off the
3:44
floor and less of mine in the,
3:47
in the warmup area.
3:49
Um, so, but this one's about minutes long.
3:53
So nice and easy,
3:54
easy to digest a quick run through.
3:57
It's just one event.
3:59
Um, and, uh,
4:01
Ortega killed the mashup of the event.
4:05
Again, it's really good.
4:06
It's a good one to do.
4:07
Rope climbs are fun to watch, uh,
4:09
sandbag cleans and then handstands, uh,
4:12
just made for a really cool, um, uh, uh,
4:18
I looked,
4:19
I looked and Lex was in the top five and,
4:22
uh, um,
4:25
But in first place was, oh, my guy.
4:31
CJ.
4:31
Yes, CJ Gerald.
4:33
CJ Gerald was in first going
4:35
into those last couple events.
4:38
Is there a prize for top
4:40
three or just top one?
4:41
I think they give a prize for one,
4:44
but I don't know about top three.
4:47
Lex has to be one of the
4:48
most consistent players, though,
4:52
like at the top.
4:54
She was as well.
4:55
I didn't even play this time.
4:56
I'm kind of bummed.
4:58
Yeah, there's a few that didn't fall.
4:59
I just kind of put it early
5:02
and then sometimes I forget.
5:04
Sometimes I would think about it.
5:06
I'm terrible at setting my lineup in time.
5:10
So I went in literally and
5:12
just put North America for everything.
5:15
And then if I had time to
5:16
get in and change it, I did.
5:17
But I wanted to at least
5:20
participate in the whole weekend.
5:22
So that's what I did.
5:23
And it cost me... I don't know.
5:26
I mean,
5:26
I might have changed one or two things.
5:28
But the prop bets were tough this time,
5:31
I thought.
5:33
I was not good at the seconds apart.
5:39
But yeah, he won at...
5:43
If you would have,
5:44
I think it would have helped had,
5:47
and these are things we can talk about.
5:48
We'll get into it.
5:49
Tier Waterpalooza,
5:50
SoCal with the Tier Cup this weekend.
5:53
They tried something new.
5:56
Let's talk from a Heat One
5:59
perspective as fantasy.
6:01
It would have been nice to
6:01
know the lineups ahead of time,
6:04
knowing they could change.
6:06
They could sub out.
6:08
But it would have been great.
6:10
And I think to grow any kind of sport,
6:13
the more you can attach it
6:14
to fantasy or sports betting of any kind,
6:19
the better it does.
6:22
And I think this is a way to
6:23
get people more involved.
6:25
And they should work
6:28
together to get at least
6:30
hypothetical lineups for the week.
6:35
I don't know that he knew
6:36
the lineups to post them.
6:38
Probably not.
6:42
I agree.
6:42
It would have helped a lot.
6:45
The more people you get playing the game,
6:46
the more people will watch
6:47
to see how they're doing in the game.
6:50
And so it's just, it's just,
6:53
it's a way to build it.
6:55
Because when,
6:56
and knowing that they could
6:57
like the last minute changes tonight,
6:59
knowing North America had a
7:00
chance to win.
7:01
So they changed their lineup
7:03
for the next to last event to,
7:05
to go all in.
7:07
I'm sorry.
7:07
It could be that way, but so anyway,
7:11
that's about the,
7:12
the fantasy aspect of it.
7:14
Did you guys get a chance to
7:15
watch much of the weekend?
7:19
I only watched.
7:21
So basically today was the
7:22
first day I got to watch
7:24
much of anything.
7:25
I caught a little bit of the
7:26
adaptive games on Friday, um, daytime.
7:31
And then today I just tried
7:32
to like catch up on the tier stream.
7:35
So I watched, uh,
7:37
Brian's recap of the run one.
7:40
Um,
7:42
like the monostructural one.
7:45
Yeah, I guess it was.
7:47
And then watched a little
7:50
bit of the adaptive today.
7:52
But yeah,
7:53
today was basically all the time I had.
7:57
Yeah, I walked like the Friday night.
7:59
I didn't watch it.
8:01
I watched actually as I woke
8:02
up around like three to four a.m.
8:04
And I just checked my phone
8:05
and then I had a notification.
8:06
I was like, oh, let me see who won.
8:07
Then I ended up like
8:08
starting to watch it in the
8:09
middle of the night.
8:11
Saturday, I stayed up to watch it.
8:13
It was just so late, though,
8:14
like it threw off my
8:17
morning routine a little
8:18
bit on the weekend because
8:19
I woke up a little bit
8:21
later than I would have
8:22
liked to to begin my training.
8:24
And then today, today I watched it.
8:27
It's just late.
8:28
Even for Lex, who is in California,
8:30
she's complaining and it
8:33
was late for her.
8:35
So I was the idiot that
8:37
stayed up every night to watch it.
8:42
It was tough, though.
8:43
I will tell you,
8:45
it was everything in my power.
8:46
Because I think Friday night
8:47
didn't end until after one, Eastern time.
8:52
And that's late for me these days.
8:55
And so I watched it.
8:58
I will say I was really
9:00
excited to watch some CrossFit.
9:03
Friday night left me a little bit
9:06
less than excited.
9:08
Um,
9:09
I thought the first couple of events
9:11
didn't bring a lot of heat.
9:12
They didn't bring a lot of excitement.
9:14
There was a couple of blowouts.
9:16
Um,
9:16
it was hard to kind of understand the
9:19
concept of it at the,
9:20
at first until they got to the lift,
9:23
which we all knew who was
9:24
going to win anyway,
9:25
but it was fun to see like aerial PR.
9:29
And it was fun to see Jeff
9:30
at least put up decent numbers.
9:33
Um, just gee blew them out of the water.
9:35
Cause we knew that was going
9:35
to happen anyway.
9:38
And I think like what's cool
9:42
about it live and the
9:43
lights and being at night
9:45
and under and you get that
9:47
like the techno feel of it all.
9:51
I don't think that comes across on TV.
9:55
I think on TV,
9:56
it just looked like you
9:58
could see people's breath.
9:59
It was cold.
10:01
You saw the wet floors.
10:02
You saw them chalking every
10:05
piece of equipment to hell
10:08
and back because it was really crazy.
10:12
And Friday night just left me like, blah.
10:17
But then I watched the event five or four,
10:21
whatever it was, on Saturday and
10:23
at like one o'clock, I think then I got,
10:26
I started getting pumped
10:28
like that picked up a lot.
10:30
Then Saturday night got even better.
10:34
And they were more excited.
10:35
There was more of like the
10:36
highlight events where it was one-on-one.
10:40
I think those were pretty exciting.
10:42
And then today was, was even better.
10:44
So yesterday when they chose
10:46
to do the three person team
10:50
and it ended with the run on the beach.
10:52
Yeah.
10:52
That was freaking gorgeous.
10:54
The one I watched.
10:55
Yeah.
10:56
Like that was to run up the
10:59
Pacific ocean and,
11:01
And I wish they would have
11:03
had a drone to kind of
11:05
follow it the whole way and
11:09
bring it back.
11:10
But other than that, like,
11:11
I have no complaints.
11:12
I thought that was really fun to watch.
11:15
And then they get into the
11:17
evening and it was really fun.
11:20
It was easier to stay up
11:21
Saturday night than it was Friday night.
11:24
And then today I thought
11:25
that the events were bang, bang,
11:27
bang until the last event
11:29
when everybody knew who was going to win.
11:30
Right.
11:33
But it was, it was, it was pretty fun.
11:36
Corey Leonard says to listen
11:38
to Brian Friend hyperventilating.
11:39
If people didn't watch it live,
11:41
Brian tried to run with the
11:43
last athlete out as far as he could.
11:46
Then he publicly said,
11:49
I better stop here so I can
11:51
keep up with the athletes
11:52
as they come back.
11:54
But he was breathing pretty
11:55
hard at that point.
11:57
He made it way further than I would.
11:59
I'll say that.
12:00
I was impressed with how...
12:04
I actually thought it would
12:05
be louder breathing.
12:07
I was like, oh,
12:07
this is going to get awkward.
12:08
And I thought he did great.
12:10
And he didn't sound like
12:12
heavy breathing to me.
12:15
I was impressed.
12:17
Yeah, same.
12:18
I was getting treatment at that point.
12:20
And I'm listening to it with
12:24
my athletic trainer.
12:25
And she's like,
12:26
is someone running and filming?
12:28
What is happening?
12:28
Because she can't see the video.
12:30
And I'm like, yes,
12:31
but he's actually doing an
12:32
actually pretty good job.
12:33
yeah yeah he he did great
12:37
actually I thought the
12:38
broadcast he lost he
12:40
started by giving a tour of
12:42
the of the venue which was
12:44
cool to see for us who
12:46
weren't there um and then
12:49
uh and then to cover the
12:50
event was great just he
12:51
lost some internet at times
12:53
I wish that wouldn't happen
12:55
and like I said if they had
12:56
a drone it would have been perfect
12:58
Yeah, the volume, was it Saturday night?
13:00
The volume had issues as well.
13:02
Yeah, the audio went out Saturday night.
13:05
But then the first event
13:06
today where they had to
13:09
move all of the equipment
13:10
from one end of the floor
13:11
to the other and then back,
13:14
like that had so much excitement to it.
13:15
When Adler took the worm by
13:18
himself and was the first guy to do it,
13:21
like my jaw hit the floor and then,
13:24
and then you could hear the
13:25
crowd go nuts.
13:26
And then you saw all of
13:27
North America do that.
13:28
They all brought worms back by themselves.
13:31
That was, I mean,
13:31
I got hyped for that and I
13:34
thought it was really a cool,
13:36
like old OG CrossFitty, you know,
13:40
just move objects.
13:42
Yeah.
13:43
Um, I thought that was a lot of fun.
13:44
I liked that one too.
13:48
Some of the events were too long.
13:51
The volume was very high for them.
13:54
If they thought they were
13:55
signing up for just a
13:56
little exhibition weekend,
13:58
I thought the volume was
13:59
pretty high for that type of a weekend,
14:01
of a fun tier cup weekend.
14:03
I would have done a couple
14:06
shorter workouts,
14:07
and it would have been nice
14:08
to have more teams.
14:09
The head-to-head, to me, you can just...
14:12
take a lead and then coast.
14:14
So I don't like that aspect
14:15
of the competition.
14:16
I'd want to see like four teams,
14:18
basically like the invitational.
14:20
If they could replicate like
14:21
the invitational style with
14:25
that sort of format and
14:26
just have a couple just shorter events,
14:30
just easier to follow.
14:33
I think that would be successful.
14:36
Yeah,
14:36
I'm okay with one long event to
14:39
just... I mean,
14:41
we hear Jamie complain
14:42
every competition that
14:43
there's no long event, right?
14:45
You have to test that at some point.
14:47
I'm okay with watching it once,
14:50
but there was like three
14:52
that went on for a while.
14:55
And I could have used those
14:56
to come back a little bit, but...
15:00
But I agree with you, Carolyn.
15:01
I think they proved the concept now.
15:04
Now you can modify and play.
15:07
I think if you went to four teams,
15:08
like Canada, Australia, Europe,
15:11
and North America,
15:12
just like the last Invitational,
15:14
it would be epic.
15:15
And you're still not filling
15:16
the floor with a bunch of people.
15:19
Right.
15:20
And I would have teams of six,
15:22
not eight for those,
15:24
like three and three.
15:26
And then you could have all
15:27
three or all...
15:30
individual matchups or
15:31
whatever but yeah I would
15:33
have more teams and teams
15:34
of six jeff said there at
15:37
the end that he felt like
15:38
it was not a lot of volume
15:40
so he maybe didn't do as
15:41
much as some of them he
15:43
wasn't tia he wasn't tia I
15:47
mean tia did all but two
15:48
events yeah they need they
15:51
definitely need rules
15:52
around that I feel like for the future
15:56
She tried her damn best to pull that team.
15:59
Of course she did.
16:00
I mean, I get it, but.
16:04
As a watcher, though,
16:05
I do think they should cap.
16:07
Yeah, a hundred percent.
16:08
Cap the number for each person.
16:10
That just brings more strategy into it.
16:16
And because it's a team competition,
16:17
it's not an individual competition.
16:19
Right.
16:23
But I think there's all like,
16:25
this would be amazing if
16:26
they just added a few tweaks.
16:30
And then the timing of it,
16:32
it didn't look like there
16:32
was as many fans.
16:33
I thought there would be no.
16:35
So was it,
16:37
do you think that they lost a
16:38
lot of money this weekend?
16:40
I have no idea.
16:42
I know it's a bad time of
16:44
the year with like the fall
16:45
is just very hard with all
16:47
the sports going on.
16:48
I just don't know if that
16:49
played a factor or if just
16:50
lack of promotion or new location,
16:53
California.
16:54
Yeah.
16:54
Can we all agree?
16:55
We can stop going to California.
16:57
Yeah.
16:58
Nobody wants to go there.
16:59
Sorry, Lex.
17:00
I think there were more
17:01
people at NorCal than there were at this.
17:04
And that's the other thing.
17:05
I feel like fans just went
17:07
to California for something
17:09
or people that live there
17:10
drove for an event just recently.
17:14
I don't know that putting
17:15
another event in California
17:17
two weeks after a pretty
17:19
major one is a good idea.
17:22
Dense updates said the fans
17:24
were the other divisions competing.
17:26
That's probably it.
17:27
That's not great.
17:28
You need, you need to draw more than just.
17:31
And how, like,
17:32
what was the price to enter?
17:34
Cause like,
17:34
like if they're going too high on,
17:37
on the first year,
17:38
like that can prevent a lot
17:39
of people from traveling
17:42
and going to watch.
17:44
Cause it is normally super expensive to,
17:46
to go to Waterpalooza and they upcharge.
17:50
Well,
17:50
I know when Jamie and I went to
17:52
Pasadena for semis last year,
17:55
like it was not a cheap trip.
17:57
No.
17:58
Like the flight alone was rough.
17:59
And then like we didn't stay
18:01
in the best hotel in the world.
18:04
In fact,
18:04
it was probably way down on the
18:06
list of hotels.
18:09
And we still paid a lot to go to Pasadena.
18:13
So Lynn says it was sixty
18:15
dollar single day tickets.
18:18
That's not terrible.
18:20
Erin and I were actually
18:21
talking about that while it
18:21
was on about the price for it.
18:23
And we both said it would be
18:25
good if it was like forty
18:26
forty dollars a day,
18:29
like forty dollars a day or
18:31
one hundred for the weekend to try to.
18:33
I mean,
18:33
it's it's weird for those outdoor
18:35
festival types like you
18:36
don't feel like you have.
18:39
It's not like going into the
18:40
Coliseum and having a seat
18:42
and you get like you just
18:43
it's just different.
18:44
It needs to be a little bit
18:45
more reasonable.
18:46
I agree with that.
18:48
But.
18:50
A college football game is a
18:51
hundred bucks.
18:54
We're not at that point.
18:57
Especially not for our first year.
18:59
It's a lot more lengthy time
19:01
for the competition that
19:03
you get to watch than a two,
19:06
three hour football game.
19:07
That's also part of the problem though.
19:09
Then you're buying lodging
19:10
for that whole weekend.
19:11
You have so many added
19:12
expenses to go to this
19:14
event that the price of
19:16
entry can't be tacked onto that.
19:20
And I think like we talked
19:22
about how like the Masters
19:24
had a lot of people,
19:25
but the location was good
19:26
because it was in that like
19:28
Southeastern United States
19:30
where there's a lot of fans,
19:31
a lot of training camps.
19:32
Yeah.
19:33
They could get there easy.
19:35
I think Southern California
19:36
has proven that they're not
19:38
great sports fans.
19:38
Correct.
19:40
And that's not just CrossFit.
19:41
Like their fans are
19:43
outnumbered at the Rams games.
19:45
Their fans are outnumbered
19:46
at the Charger games.
19:48
It's like the weather's just
19:49
so nice there that people
19:51
just are out doing other things.
19:52
Like just there's so many
19:53
options of things to do.
19:56
Right.
19:57
I agree.
19:59
And Corey, no,
20:00
not as bad as the hotel in Fort Wayne.
20:02
There is nothing worse.
20:05
Andrew says doing this Labor
20:06
Day weekend would be better.
20:07
Like Miami is President's Day.
20:09
Many people have money off.
20:11
But then you get the holiday
20:12
pricing on every hotel and every flight.
20:15
And it would have been in
20:17
conflict with the teenagers this year.
20:20
And the masters.
20:20
Yeah.
20:25
So the competition
20:26
registration was individual
20:27
three fifty nine and team
20:29
was nine sixty nine.
20:31
I didn't even see any of the
20:33
individuals or anything like that.
20:35
They didn't stream any of it.
20:36
Oh, okay.
20:38
Was anyone competing that was high level?
20:42
I didn't even look at who
20:44
was... I don't know.
20:47
I didn't see a roster.
20:48
I didn't even look at the
20:49
leaderboard at that.
20:49
Me either.
20:53
I saw like Jen Dieter had a
20:57
master's team there.
20:58
Yeah.
20:59
Just on Instagram.
21:03
So I know they had like the
21:04
community events just like
21:06
regular Guadalupe,
21:07
but I think it was mostly teams.
21:09
They didn't do like individuals.
21:10
I think they did individual.
21:18
I didn't see anybody post
21:20
anything about individual comp.
21:24
Oh, I did see the Grubb, Sam,
21:26
and Eric Hinman master team.
21:32
So...
21:34
One of the other,
21:35
just a couple of highlights
21:36
I had and some feelings.
21:39
I was shocked by the world team.
21:42
Their clean ladder
21:44
performance blew me away.
21:47
I think that's what made
21:48
Saturday night even better
21:50
is you got some shocking
21:51
results that you weren't expecting.
21:53
The underdog pulled some stuff off.
21:56
Yeah.
21:57
We are talking about Tia doing it all.
21:59
So here, Kaya,
22:00
did you see the video that
22:01
got published and then
22:02
taken down and then Hiller
22:04
put it back up?
22:07
I think that I think we need more of that.
22:10
So if people didn't see it,
22:12
to hear Kaya was watching a
22:15
video where Danielle
22:17
Brandon is talking about,
22:18
she doesn't know any of the
22:19
world athletes other than
22:21
Tia and isn't even sure any
22:23
of them made the games ever.
22:25
And then the video pops up
22:28
of Danielle dropping the
22:30
worm and the world team
22:32
just like a piston engine going to town.
22:35
And they crushed the women on that event.
22:39
And I think that that is awesome.
22:42
That's the cool stuff in
22:43
sports where you say
22:45
something and the other
22:47
team makes you pay for what you said.
22:49
And that is awesome.
22:51
And the rumor was that...
22:54
Sahir Kaya's sponsor made it come down.
22:59
Yeah.
23:00
And I think it made her look awesome.
23:01
I agree.
23:02
She didn't say anything.
23:03
She just was watching the
23:05
video of what Danielle said.
23:07
And then just the,
23:08
the real life action that
23:10
happened was her team
23:11
kicked Danielle team's ass.
23:14
The problem is,
23:14
is we treat women differently.
23:16
This is, this is what it is,
23:18
is if the boys do this type of things,
23:20
it's all fun and games.
23:21
And then the sponsor would
23:22
never say anything to Hopper doing that.
23:26
But,
23:26
there's an image that goes
23:27
behind like the girl,
23:30
like a girl doing her
23:31
sports and basically being quiet.
23:32
Like this stuff was awesome.
23:34
Like you should be able to
23:35
see like to post that stuff and, um,
23:38
you know, get put in your place.
23:39
If you, if you chirp and stuff like that,
23:41
like if the boys did it,
23:42
it would be funny.
23:43
The moment a girl does it like that,
23:44
like Danielle's getting, you know,
23:47
some comments on being too
23:48
cocky and stuff.
23:49
And like, it's just,
23:51
so it's always different.
23:53
It's like Danielle is
23:54
embraced by making those statements.
23:56
Right.
23:58
So I think that it's up for.
24:04
chirping back when it
24:05
doesn't come to fruition
24:07
right and we talked about
24:09
this when I was talking
24:10
about the hope solo a
24:12
documentary like she paid
24:13
for things that men would
24:14
never have paid anything
24:16
for for saying a hundred
24:18
percent there's a
24:19
difference between as soon
24:20
as as soon as a girl does
24:21
it as I won't say girl like
24:22
woman do it like it's just
24:24
like you're viewed
24:25
differently like it's not
24:27
it's like for a sponsor to
24:29
tell kaya to basically turn
24:30
it down like that's
24:32
You're treating her
24:33
differently because she's a woman.
24:35
You would never do that to Sprague,
24:38
to Hopper,
24:39
to Dallin after their videos of
24:41
them chirping.
24:42
Never.
24:44
That is a viral video that
24:45
would make Sahir more popular.
24:49
It would give her a
24:50
spotlight that she doesn't get normally.
24:57
Corey says,
24:58
Jamie talks shit to me all the
24:59
time and I'm here for it.
25:01
I do not.
25:02
Well, if you've watched the show,
25:04
Lex talks shit to me almost
25:06
on and every other day.
25:07
That's true.
25:11
And I get it every day as well from her.
25:15
I'm just curious who the sponsor is.
25:17
Is it
25:18
like a European company that has a,
25:21
like has a different sense of banter.
25:24
I, you know,
25:24
like just doesn't see the
25:26
value in that maybe, um, wants a clean,
25:29
wholesome, I don't know.
25:31
You like, we don't know who it was,
25:32
who the sponsor is.
25:33
So it's tough to say.
25:34
Yeah.
25:37
Uh, dense updates, by the way,
25:40
who's going to be on the show tomorrow.
25:41
Um,
25:42
who's kind of taken the world by storm
25:43
on Instagram.
25:44
Uh,
25:45
we're having her on to talk about why
25:47
she's doing what she's
25:47
doing and how she got there.
25:49
So, uh, her name is Jenny, by the way, uh,
25:52
if you didn't know that, uh,
25:54
we talk so much trash in our gym, uh,
25:56
but none of us are sponsored.
26:02
Some other things,
26:02
the clean ladder shocker I talked about,
26:05
which actually started with
26:06
Sihir Kaya killing it again.
26:10
And then I want to talk
26:12
about Nightfall and the dew
26:13
and how much effect that had on things.
26:16
How much is it worth having
26:18
the lights and the flashing
26:20
if everything's wet and
26:22
covered in dew every night?
26:24
And you see them going to
26:25
the rig like they're almost skating.
26:28
Yeah.
26:28
Yeah.
26:31
I think that's something
26:32
that just needs to be
26:33
reviewed for future events.
26:37
I'm actually surprised, like,
26:38
Brent and Pat didn't call that out.
26:40
Like, that kind of stuff is unsafe.
26:43
Wall walking on that kind of stuff.
26:46
The handstand freestanding, like, Alexis,
26:49
like, slipped a couple times.
26:51
I think Guy as well, maybe.
26:54
On the obstacles on Friday night, like,
26:57
Danielle was chalking
26:59
between every person.
27:01
I wasn't sure whether it was
27:02
too dark and they couldn't see,
27:03
which I think was both.
27:05
Like it was so dark that
27:06
they couldn't see where
27:06
they were going and it was slippery,
27:09
which makes two things kind of, you know,
27:12
not the ideal situation.
27:15
Yeah, agreed.
27:17
And then I really liked the strategy,
27:20
especially in that event eight,
27:21
moving all the objects.
27:23
You could tell where
27:23
strategy actually played a
27:25
big role in North America
27:26
winning that one.
27:29
Uniforms and numbers,
27:30
I thought were awesome.
27:32
It made it so easy to tell
27:33
what team was what and who was who.
27:37
Because if you couldn't see the name,
27:38
at least you could see the number.
27:40
And they all picked numbers
27:41
that were special to them,
27:42
which was kind of cool.
27:43
I liked how they did that.
27:45
Yeah, I wanted a jersey.
27:47
I was like, damn, those look nice.
27:49
I want one.
27:49
They are sweet.
27:51
like you've been a team
27:53
sport athlete most of your
27:54
life right and I played
27:56
football and I played
27:56
baseball like I have
27:58
numbers that mean a lot to
27:59
me that I would love that
28:00
opportunity if I ever had a
28:02
chance to have a jersey
28:03
with my number on it and if
28:07
you've played team sports
28:08
it's you're on a team on
28:10
this event and it's cool
28:11
they got to have their
28:12
numbers and their names on
28:13
a jersey yeah I thought
28:14
that was a great addition
28:17
did we get did everyone
28:18
talk about their number
28:21
The only person I saw was
28:22
Ariel actually did an
28:23
Instagram post that she
28:24
picked her daughter's soccer number.
28:26
Okay.
28:26
That's cute.
28:28
Which was awesome.
28:31
I'm sure Pat picked his
28:32
lacrosse number and Brent
28:34
picked his volleyball
28:35
number or something like that.
28:37
Yeah.
28:38
I mean, that's what I would have done.
28:39
I mean,
28:40
I have a baseball number and a
28:41
football number.
28:41
It would have been one of those two.
28:43
Yeah.
28:49
Lynn said,
28:49
I wanted them to sell jerseys online.
28:51
They had the coolest jerseys
28:52
last year at the games,
28:54
but we couldn't get them online.
28:57
I like these better.
28:58
They just had some color, finally.
29:01
Like finally some color in a jersey.
29:04
And they had different colored pants.
29:06
It made it, and shorts.
29:07
It made it so easy to tell
29:09
what team was what.
29:10
Right.
29:15
I mean, I'd buy one of the,
29:17
the tier SoCal jerseys with
29:20
the number and the name on it.
29:21
I thought the jerseys looked sharp.
29:24
They look really nice.
29:26
It took me back to like,
29:27
nineteen eighties Houston
29:28
Astros with kind of the
29:31
striping on the front.
29:34
But that's just me.
29:35
I'm old.
29:37
And then Dallin Pepper and
29:39
Brent Fikowski doing fifty
29:40
cows on the echo bike in
29:41
thirty eight seconds.
29:42
Gross.
29:43
Are you kidding me?
29:45
That whole event was so gross.
29:47
But I loved watching every
29:48
second of it because I was
29:50
just seeing them die.
29:51
I was like, oh my gosh, this is so nasty.
29:53
But I'm there for it.
29:56
Those were the events that were awesome.
29:58
Oh, yeah.
29:58
The spotlight events.
30:00
The specialist type stuff.
30:02
Yeah.
30:02
The lifts, the gymnastics, that one.
30:07
Emily's last five burpees
30:08
where it looked like her
30:09
whole body had cramped.
30:12
Like, oh my gosh,
30:13
is she even going to be able to finish?
30:14
I know.
30:16
And then they all get on the
30:17
assault runner and look
30:19
like they're fine.
30:20
Yeah.
30:21
I figured Emily would be.
30:22
Like, I actually,
30:24
that's kind of how I
30:25
anticipated it going down
30:26
was Emily holding her own
30:28
on the burpees because
30:29
Grace went so hard on the bike.
30:32
Because Emily's an endurance athlete.
30:34
Like,
30:34
she's able to come around and recover.
30:37
And yeah, that one was super exciting.
30:40
Yeah.
30:40
Yeah,
30:41
because she had lost like six seconds,
30:43
I think,
30:43
on the echo bike and then
30:45
regained maybe three
30:47
seconds on the burpees,
30:48
three or four seconds.
30:49
And then they tied basically the run.
30:51
So that was really close.
30:53
I was impressed with Emily's bike,
30:55
to be honest.
30:56
It was closer than I expected.
30:58
Emily's a great... She's
31:00
great on the machines.
31:01
She's always been great.
31:02
She's not just a good runner.
31:03
She's got really good machine work.
31:06
Power output, though.
31:07
If you've seen her paces on
31:10
her rower and stuff when
31:11
she trains in her garage,
31:13
I've seen some of her paces.
31:14
I'm like, damn, that's so good.
31:17
There was no surprise there from my part.
31:19
She's really good on the machines.
31:23
People just view her as a runner.
31:26
Corey said Nick was the only
31:28
fan there not competing.
31:31
And then WadZombie actually
31:32
says it was packed.
31:34
The vendor area was popping
31:35
while the non-elite
31:35
competitors were going.
31:37
That's good to hear.
31:38
The one thing Wadapalooza
31:42
knocks out of the park,
31:44
and you could tell this in
31:45
Brian's tour of the facility,
31:48
as soon as you walk through the gate,
31:49
you had to walk through the vendors.
31:53
That's how it always should be.
31:54
Right.
31:55
And the games never does that.
31:57
The games has the vendors
31:58
off to a side or off the hell this year,
32:02
a block away.
32:04
It needs to be like the exit
32:05
lines at the grocery stores or whatever.
32:06
Like you have to go through it.
32:08
Right.
32:10
That's the only way that you
32:11
help support those vendors
32:12
that are literally funding
32:14
your competition for a lot of it.
32:17
Make people go through that.
32:19
The more that they can make,
32:20
the more other companies
32:21
are going to want to go there as well.
32:23
And it just keeps growing.
32:25
So I don't know why that's
32:26
not a thing at every competition.
32:28
It's really important that
32:28
the vendors are successful
32:30
for the competition to continue on.
32:33
when you're at Waterpalooza Miami,
32:35
you came in the gate at
32:36
Bayfront and you had to go
32:38
through a tunnel of vendors.
32:41
Then if you wanted to go to
32:42
the Bayfront stage,
32:43
you had to go through the
32:44
big vendor village to get
32:46
from there to Bayfront.
32:48
And you had to walk through
32:49
all those vendors.
32:51
And it looked like the same
32:53
kind of setup for this one
32:56
with Brian's tour.
32:57
And I think that
32:59
loud live do an amazing job
33:01
at that making sure that
33:03
the vendors have prime
33:06
locations to make money uh
33:10
wad zombie also said all
33:11
the agents I talked to said
33:12
this is the most fun the
33:13
athletes have had in a
33:14
while awesome and that's
33:16
probably important after
33:18
everything that's happened
33:18
this year having an event
33:20
for them to go have fun is
33:23
um is had to be number one priority
33:29
He also said the vendors
33:30
were open to the public, which was cool.
33:32
So you didn't even need a
33:33
ticket to get in there.
33:34
Wow.
33:37
Yes, the athlete signings and everything.
33:38
This is the best thing ever.
33:40
I don't know when they can
33:41
do it because semi athletes,
33:44
semis athletes are too
33:45
focused and at the games,
33:47
but I'd buy everything if I
33:48
get to meet Brent.
33:54
So I think.
34:00
And I loved how they came
34:01
together as a team.
34:03
I loved how like on that gross workout,
34:06
you have Justin icing down and down.
34:09
You have people shaking out
34:11
competitors legs,
34:12
taking their shoes off for them.
34:15
Like it was a, and you know,
34:17
if you've ever been a team athlete,
34:18
that's the coolest part of
34:20
being on a team is when you
34:22
come together like that.
34:23
And I thought that was epic.
34:25
And I was all in on all of that.
34:28
And you saw that on multiple events,
34:30
especially from Team World.
34:31
Like Tia was literally – if
34:33
she wasn't competing,
34:34
she was coaching every
34:36
single one of them and giving them chalk.
34:38
Like when Guy was doing the gymnastics one,
34:41
she was literally like
34:42
feeding him a water bottle every second,
34:44
the chalk.
34:46
Pat had no one there.
34:48
Like it just like – I just
34:50
felt like the Team World
34:50
had a little bit more –
34:53
it looked from the outside
34:54
that they had a little bit
34:55
more support of their athletes and,
34:58
and I guess like playfulness to them.
35:03
But yeah,
35:04
I like the fact that they were
35:05
helping each other out and stuff.
35:06
I don't know if they need to
35:07
be on the floor, but.
35:09
Yeah.
35:11
Kenneth says it looks silly to me.
35:13
When I was a swimmer,
35:15
and swimming is a team sport,
35:17
you have a lineup and you pick,
35:20
this guy does these three events,
35:21
this guy does these two events,
35:23
and so on and so forth.
35:25
But you give everything you
35:26
have for that team, and when you're done,
35:28
you're spent.
35:29
And when your teammates lift you up,
35:31
that is the best feeling in the world.
35:34
I thought it looked like it
35:35
just made it look like even
35:37
more so how hard that,
35:38
that event was the fact
35:39
that they needed that much
35:41
support and the ice there and the snacks.
35:44
And like,
35:45
it just shows how difficult that
35:47
event was on their bodies.
35:49
Um,
35:49
and those athletes that weren't doing
35:51
it knew how hard those athletes were.
35:53
And yes,
35:55
they were like making sure that
35:56
they could contribute anyway,
35:57
knowing that that athlete
35:58
is just selling their soul
36:00
for their team.
36:01
Right.
36:01
Um,
36:04
And probably secretly so
36:05
happy that it wasn't them because it is.
36:07
Yeah, that one was so gross to watch.
36:11
Nick comes back with it came.
36:12
It gave me goosebumps to see
36:13
these people are usually
36:15
all about themselves being
36:16
in a team environment.
36:20
Yeah.
36:22
So that's pretty much all I
36:24
had about the weekend.
36:25
Any,
36:26
any overall thoughts or you excited
36:27
for more things like this?
36:29
I know Carolyn said, you know,
36:31
expand it to like maybe a little bit,
36:33
a couple more teams do that
36:35
kind of thing.
36:38
Yeah.
36:39
I mean, I think it's a great start.
36:40
I would like to see it me,
36:41
but a little more invitational style,
36:43
a little more rules around it,
36:45
capping the amount of events you can do,
36:46
but yeah, it was awesome.
36:50
Uh, Bruce says,
36:51
why did Brent play for the world?
36:53
One, the world was decimated by injuries.
36:56
Um,
36:57
and Lazar was supposed to compete in this,
36:59
right?
37:00
So that's another person they lost Brent.
37:02
And according as I, it is understood,
37:05
I think he has dual citizenship.
37:09
I believe he's an Australian
37:10
citizen as well as a Canadian.
37:14
I think I've heard that too.
37:15
Yeah.
37:16
I don't know if he has citizenship,
37:17
but I know that he started
37:19
CrossFit in Australia, I believe.
37:20
So I think it came, I heard,
37:23
I believe this weekend he
37:24
has dual citizenship and he chose,
37:27
but the real reason is the
37:29
world was decimated.
37:30
Roman is injured.
37:31
Ricky is injured.
37:33
Lazar, you know,
37:35
we all know what happened there.
37:37
And that was three people
37:37
they had to replace.
37:39
And last minute Brent
37:42
stepped in to do that.
37:46
and uh lex just messaged me
37:48
that uh pat got mvp oh he
37:51
did oh wow that's not who I
37:55
would have picked but I'm
37:57
okay with it who picks it
37:59
like the athletes I think
38:00
it was a fan vote through
38:05
instagram or what do you
38:06
know where how I I don't I
38:10
didn't pay that much attention to it um
38:17
It's just one for the whole, like,
38:18
not like one from North America,
38:21
one from world.
38:22
It was just one.
38:23
It's just one.
38:24
Interesting.
38:26
Um, I, I, yeah, I, even though she lost,
38:29
I would have to give it to Tia.
38:30
Hmm.
38:37
She was valuable.
38:38
Of course she is, but you have to,
38:40
I feel like you need to see
38:41
somebody do something, uh,
38:45
incredible I thought he did
38:47
well this weekend I thought
38:49
he he was in a lot of the
38:50
events especially early on
38:52
um and performed better
38:55
than I think a lot of
38:55
people expected I think
38:59
yeah let me ask you this
39:01
after two days I was like I
39:03
was seriously sitting there
39:04
thinking why doesn't he do better
39:09
He didn't just win events.
39:11
He dominated.
39:13
That gymnastics event, he so impressed me.
39:18
He tied Pat on that one.
39:20
Yeah,
39:21
but if you're tying Pat Vellner in a
39:22
gymnastics event... He's
39:24
known for his gymnastics.
39:25
He's a specialist.
39:26
He's a gymnast specialist.
39:27
He's a weightlifting specialist.
39:28
It's the combination of
39:29
everything together with
39:30
the aerobic capacity.
39:32
That's where he'll struggle.
39:34
He looked terrible.
39:35
Today, he looked awful.
39:37
Yes.
39:38
The first day he did all the
39:40
workouts and he didn't get any,
39:41
any breaks.
39:42
I think over the weekend,
39:43
his recovery is
39:44
conditioning and stuff just
39:46
got the best of him.
39:50
But he started off really well.
39:54
John has spoken like he's,
39:55
he's a specialist for like, he's yeah.
39:58
Like he's gymnastics.
39:59
It's just,
39:59
he doesn't have it when it's
40:00
combined with a high heart rate.
40:04
I didn't say he was fit, John.
40:07
What I said was, after two days,
40:09
I was like, why isn't this guy better?
40:15
And, like, it's all there.
40:21
It feels like that student
40:22
that has all the potential
40:24
and doesn't put any of it forward, like,
40:28
doesn't put the work in around it,
40:34
Like, that's how I feel.
40:35
Like... I don't know.
40:38
Like, Dallin has gotten so much better at,
40:40
like, running and stuff like that.
40:42
Like,
40:42
why isn't Guy putting in that kind of
40:44
time?
40:47
Well, he may be,
40:48
but because he's so
40:50
specialized in strength and stuff, like,
40:53
there is... There's give somewhere else.
40:56
Like, he's just not aerobically there.
41:01
Like, Dallin isn't as specialized...
41:03
Like he's more well-rounded.
41:04
Okay.
41:08
I'm just, it just was a feeling I had.
41:10
I'm just sharing my feelings.
41:12
I agree with you.
41:13
Share away, share away.
41:14
I'm just sharing my feelings.
41:16
Like you can tell Dillon has
41:17
put in significant work on
41:19
running in aerobic capacity in general.
41:21
And yeah, you,
41:22
you feel like he maybe needs to just.
41:26
I'm just saying after those first few days,
41:27
you see that talent.
41:28
You're just like, why, why, why, why?
41:32
I mean,
41:32
genetically he's just more
41:34
explosive and yes.
41:37
Like,
41:38
like genetically you can't change that,
41:40
but yeah, that's what John is saying.
41:43
He's a more fast Twitch, which is,
41:45
I totally agree.
41:46
I think he is like pure fast
41:48
Twitch and I don't know how
41:50
long that take would take to,
41:51
cause I'm the complete opposite.
41:53
Like I can't, I don't know what I don't,
41:56
I can't get strong,
41:57
but I could go forever.
42:00
Um,
42:02
Yeah, I don't know.
42:08
Yeah.
42:10
Okay.
42:12
So one of the other things
42:13
that happened this weekend
42:14
that I thought was as good
42:17
as anything else was reps ahead.
42:20
If you didn't watch the reps ahead,
42:22
it was the best version they've put out.
42:28
Um, the hopper Sprague match,
42:31
if you did not watch it
42:32
ended in a flat out tie.
42:37
Neither one could get more
42:39
than a couple of reps ahead.
42:40
After three rounds, it was dead.
42:43
Even they said that like he
42:46
got off the box first or whatever.
42:49
Well,
42:50
Sprague said today that they
42:52
announced him the winner of
42:54
to the crowd because they had to,
42:57
but everybody knows it was a tie.
43:01
They ended with the same number of reps.
43:03
Um,
43:04
and I think that that's what makes that
43:06
event now better.
43:06
Cause now don't you want to
43:08
see the rematch?
43:09
It's just like, um,
43:12
MMA or boxing or whatever.
43:16
I'd like to see a different format though.
43:18
I don't think that the
43:19
interval needs to be done
43:20
every time with the rest.
43:27
Yeah, I don't know.
43:28
I'd have to contemplate that a little bit.
43:34
But you had, like,
43:35
Annika completely dominated.
43:36
Her cycle time of the toast
43:38
of ours was super impressive,
43:39
and then she pushed the pace.
43:42
But she saw where she had to
43:43
push the pace.
43:44
Yeah.
43:45
And then Kyle just couldn't
43:47
quite match it.
43:50
Lauren Stallwood did well, too.
43:52
Better than...
43:54
Then I expected, like,
43:54
she took the win fairly early.
43:56
Yeah,
43:57
she knocked Devin Kim out pretty quick.
43:59
Yeah, yeah.
44:00
Yeah, she did well.
44:02
Again,
44:03
I thought the women's one was good
44:05
for a different reason.
44:06
Like,
44:06
I thought you could see the strategy
44:09
and them where they had to
44:11
pick up the pace to win.
44:13
And it was both knockouts
44:15
and then the tie.
44:17
But I don't see how Bruce
44:18
says it's not a tie.
44:19
They ended with the same number of reps.
44:28
Not sure.
44:30
There was no rule of who won
44:31
the last round or anything.
44:33
They were trying to make
44:34
something up on the floor.
44:35
That's what James said today
44:37
in his interview with Peter.
44:40
Him and Hopper both know it was a tie.
44:43
it's never happened before.
44:44
Right.
44:45
They weren't prepared for it.
44:46
And it was really cool to
44:47
look at their different strategies.
44:48
Like Hopper was
44:49
significantly better on the toaster bar.
44:51
The, and then, um,
44:54
James was better on the box
44:55
jump overs and the touch and go on the,
44:58
on the snatches.
44:59
So two, two movements for James, one for,
45:03
um, Hopper.
45:03
And like every time one would get a lead,
45:05
it would get, you know,
45:07
right back to square like zero basically.
45:09
Um,
45:11
so yeah I I still just would
45:12
want to see a different
45:14
format I think I've seen
45:16
this one kind of play out a
45:18
few more times than I need
45:19
to not sure what the exact
45:22
format but I don't know I
45:27
like it as an alternative
45:28
for a quick a quick watch
45:32
and if you if you're gonna
45:32
have big names doing it I'm
45:33
gonna watch it oh absolutely
45:38
And they may,
45:39
they may tweak it and have
45:40
better formats or different formats where,
45:44
you know, this, yeah, I think it,
45:47
I think it'd be cool.
45:49
The matchups are what makes
45:51
it super interesting to me.
45:53
Like I want to see something
45:55
like Hopper versus James,
45:56
where the strategies are
45:57
different and how that plays out.
46:03
Bruce,
46:03
why does one have to be better than
46:04
the other?
46:05
Can't we enjoy both?
46:11
Just saying.
46:13
All right.
46:16
Next thing we have is the
46:18
Rogue Invitational has announced who,
46:21
from the queue,
46:22
got their invite to the
46:25
Rogue Invitational.
46:27
And a little bit of a surprise on this.
46:30
So I am going to share my
46:32
notes page real quick because I have it.
46:35
Here, from the women,
46:37
they are bringing six
46:39
people from the queue,
46:41
and that is Mano Anganese, Sydney Wells,
46:44
Taylor Williamson, Emma Tall, Taylor Howe,
46:48
and Dana Peran.
46:50
Um, Dana Pran, this is right up her alley,
46:54
uh, former weightlifter.
46:57
We interviewed her for
46:58
semifinals and we
46:59
interviewed her at semifinals this year.
47:02
Uh, which is awesome.
47:05
Got to know her too.
47:08
Yeah.
47:09
If you've not heard her story,
47:11
she went through a horrific
47:12
ankle injury and is still
47:15
doing amazing things.
47:18
I'm super stoked for her
47:19
that she gets this opportunity.
47:22
On the male side, we have Georgios Kervis,
47:25
Sam Kornwaye, Guy Mejeros,
47:30
Heinrich Kappelainen,
47:31
and Jorge Fernandez.
47:33
There was, as always,
47:35
a lot of shakeup after
47:37
video review with Rogue.
47:40
Saw some of the appeals on
47:43
Instagram that were denied.
47:46
Rogue plays no jokes with
47:49
their video review.
47:51
Yeah.
47:51
What was Tudor's penalty?
47:57
I don't even know what his penalty was,
47:58
but it dropped him all the
48:00
way to like twenty-eighth.
48:01
Yeah.
48:04
Tudor and Cole.
48:05
And Cole didn't drop as much.
48:07
It wasn't as – a five-minute
48:13
penalty for Tudor.
48:17
Yeah,
48:17
I was bummed to see that he got – Did
48:18
he have a sand guard maybe
48:20
on the echo bike?
48:23
Lynn says it was in the snatches.
48:25
It was in the snatches.
48:25
Hmm.
48:28
That's too bad.
48:29
I was bummed about that.
48:30
You'd think that this is
48:32
year what now of these qualifiers.
48:36
You've got to be weighing your weights.
48:37
You've got to be showing your screens.
48:39
You've got to move well.
48:41
Cause if you get no reps somewhere,
48:43
sometimes they'll just end
48:44
the workouts there.
48:44
You got to read the rules.
48:45
Yeah.
48:47
And just make sure that
48:48
you're accountable as an
48:49
athlete for the video that
48:51
you're going to be submitting.
48:52
Like this happens every year
48:54
for someone to go from like.
48:55
Fifteenth all the way into
48:57
the top five is crazy.
48:58
How many people above that just.
49:01
Think that because they have
49:03
experience or whatever,
49:05
they're just going to be like,
49:06
everything's going to be fine.
49:08
People should, people should know better.
49:10
Yeah.
49:10
Halpin has a good post on
49:11
penalties somewhere on his Instagram.
49:13
I agree.
49:14
I saw it.
49:14
He actually has like what,
49:16
where the position was before the review,
49:19
what it was after the view,
49:21
all that kind of stuff.
49:23
So go check that out on Instagram.
49:25
It's done really well.
49:27
But you're right, Carolyn.
49:29
Like if Travis Mayer,
49:30
one of the most experienced
49:31
people in CrossFit gets dinged by rogue,
49:34
like nobody is,
49:36
nobody is above the penalties.
49:38
Yeah.
49:41
And you have to read the rules.
49:44
So looks like Sam isn't retiring.
49:47
Didn't he say after the
49:48
games he was pretty much done?
49:52
Sam Cornwall?
49:53
Yeah.
49:54
Well,
49:54
he's training for a high rocks right now.
49:55
I know that.
50:00
But that's interesting.
50:03
I mean,
50:03
there's some good athletes there
50:04
that are good for Rogue.
50:07
Those women are super strong.
50:10
And there's some specialists there.
50:12
Like, Gi, obviously,
50:13
is going to be exciting to
50:14
watch for whatever lift
50:15
they're going to do.
50:19
You know,
50:19
it's just interesting every time
50:20
the qualifiers and how they
50:22
do when they get there.
50:24
Last year,
50:25
who was the top qualifier that
50:27
did well out of the queue?
50:30
I think there was...
50:31
One or two.
50:32
Normally they're towards the end,
50:33
but I think last year there
50:34
was a couple that actually did well.
50:39
A rogue doesn't care who you are.
50:41
They will penalize.
50:42
That is true.
50:43
And that's how it should be.
50:44
And that's how it should be.
50:52
Yep.
50:52
MN Rogue is going to be epic.
50:57
Like Taylor Williamson at
50:58
Rogue is going to be great.
51:01
Like she's got some home run capabilities.
51:11
I think they mine Mano and
51:13
Ghanese for car batteries.
51:14
I think that's, oh gosh,
51:18
now I can't even say the real word.
51:22
My periodic table knowledge
51:23
has fallen apart.
51:28
Wad Zombie says, those who can CrossFit,
51:31
those who can't, High Rocks.
51:35
Why can't you do both?
51:39
I'm doing the High Rocks in
51:40
two weeks just for fun with my friend.
51:43
It's in Toronto, so I'm hopping in on it.
51:47
I'm not training for it.
51:50
Are you going to hydrate before this one?
51:52
Oh, my gosh.
51:52
I will try.
51:54
Okay.
51:57
I think I need to just run
51:58
with like one of those
51:59
belts with just hydration or something.
52:02
Is that the week before crash?
52:05
Yeah.
52:07
Yeah.
52:07
It's like October fifth.
52:10
So let me ask you this.
52:13
I've seen like you doing
52:15
handstand over obstacles
52:18
and all this stuff in your training.
52:19
Are you doing that because of crash?
52:21
Yeah.
52:22
Okay.
52:24
Yeah,
52:24
I just wanted to touch up on some
52:26
things that I felt could
52:28
maybe show up at crash
52:29
because they've had those
52:30
handstand stuff before.
52:31
So I tried to do some hurdle
52:35
yesterday for the first time.
52:37
And then I haven't touched
52:37
the stairs and ramp since I
52:41
was on the demo team last
52:42
year and I had to test it.
52:45
So took that out.
52:47
Yeah, just playing around.
52:51
Yeah, I just,
52:53
because the only place I've
52:54
even seen that, like,
52:55
in the last couple years
52:57
has been at Crash.
52:58
So I was just curious if
53:01
that's what was going through your head.
53:04
Yeah, that's going to be fun.
53:07
Can't wait to watch you do that.
53:12
And then the last thing we
53:13
have for tonight is Brian
53:17
Spin actually talked about
53:18
this Wednesday night on The Spin.
53:21
But he found a permit in
53:24
Miami for where the new
53:26
location of Guadalupalooza,
53:28
Miami was going to be.
53:30
And I pulled up the Google
53:31
Maps of that area.
53:37
so uh try to blow this up
53:40
ben is so good at finding
53:42
these things like he is so
53:43
on top of it you just go
53:46
there to find out
53:47
everything that's going on
53:49
So basically,
53:50
it's along the beach from Sixth Street,
53:55
which is right... This is
53:57
the start of Sixth Street,
53:58
if you can see my mouse.
54:01
And it goes all the way to
54:03
either Tenth or Eleventh.
54:05
So that goes all the way up
54:07
to... There's Tenth right there.
54:10
Or Eleventh is this next street here.
54:14
So that's quite a bit of...
54:19
uh, area that that's covering, uh,
54:22
and would be, uh, pretty crazy.
54:26
Um, Bayfront park was about a city block.
54:30
Okay.
54:33
So if now you're talking
54:35
maybe two city blocks with a warm-up area,
54:38
let's go two city blocks.
54:40
And if now you're expanding
54:40
to four or five,
54:42
that's a much bigger area
54:46
that you get to put your competition.
54:50
And I think that's pretty amazing.
54:54
How big do you feel like it
54:55
was at Huntington Beach?
54:57
It seemed big, the amount of –
55:03
wad zombie would be our our
55:04
guy he was there in in real
55:07
life uh so he would be able
55:10
to know um alex says
55:13
barbell spin is really the
55:14
barbell sleuth uh spin is a
55:19
sleeper agent for the cia
55:21
who fell in love with crossfit
55:27
So, um, but yeah,
55:29
this is all credit to spin.
55:31
He's the one that announced
55:32
it on his show.
55:33
Uh,
55:33
but I just wanted to show you guys that's,
55:35
that's a pretty,
55:37
and there's all this park, um,
55:40
but before the beach, um,
55:42
all the way down.
55:44
Can you change that to
55:44
satellite view that bottom left thing?
55:49
This.
55:50
Yeah.
55:51
Two.
55:52
Yeah.
55:53
Then we can, that's good.
55:54
So we can just sort of see it better.
55:56
OK.
55:59
So that's six to like the
56:01
very let me pull it down
56:02
just a little bit.
56:04
OK, so here's sixth all the way to tenth.
56:10
And all of this is park.
56:12
In this area before you get
56:13
out to the beach.
56:19
Better start booking your stuff now.
56:20
Yeah, goodness.
56:25
Coeur d'Alene touristy,
56:26
so souvenir shops and Red Lobster.
56:31
That I don't know.
56:31
I saw there was a mattress
56:33
shop somewhere around there.
56:42
There's a Wet Willie's if
56:44
you want your frozen drinks.
56:50
Muscle Beach.
56:52
nice how how close is this
56:55
to like peak that I have no
57:01
idea I'm I'm not spin I'm
57:06
not barbell sleuth um but
57:13
yeah not close according to bruce
57:18
But Bruce told us last week, I think,
57:21
that it's about twenty
57:22
minutes from where it used to be.
57:26
But that's dependent on traffic.
57:30
Which Miami traffic is not very good.
57:40
But that's what we have going on in Miami.
57:43
Well, hopefully it'll feel less crowded.
57:47
So one thing we forgot to
57:48
talk about was adaptive.
57:49
Yeah.
57:51
Dang it.
57:52
So much happened in this weekend.
57:54
So I watched a lot of
57:56
adaptive Thursday and
57:58
Friday and just a little
57:59
bit over the weekend.
58:01
And my,
58:02
my general thoughts on it were they
58:05
did a really great job.
58:06
We did an amazing job setting it up.
58:10
It was held in what appeared
58:11
to be a sports complex and,
58:14
And I loved the first event
58:16
on Thursday was a row, a ski, a bike,
58:24
and a run.
58:26
And the run,
58:27
they made a track out of
58:29
multiple tennis courts
58:31
where you kind of went out and around.
58:34
And in the morning,
58:34
they weren't showing the run much.
58:36
And I was like, in the chat, like,
58:38
all I want to do is see
58:39
where the run goes.
58:40
And then they showed a lot
58:42
of the run in the afternoon.
58:44
And it was really cool.
58:45
It was a really cool setup
58:47
out and around this tennis court.
58:49
And it was hot that day.
58:53
But it was really cool.
58:54
And then... Yeah, it was a lot of fun.
58:59
I really enjoyed it.
59:00
A lot of impressive athletes.
59:03
When the one-point upper
59:06
were cleaning more than I
59:08
can with two points, I was really...
59:17
really frustrated with that.
59:18
But other than that, super impressive.
59:25
Yeah, I agree.
59:26
I was I was impressed with coverage,
59:29
just the setup the I mean,
59:33
it looks like the athletes
59:34
were extremely well taken care of there.
59:37
It,
59:39
it looked like it felt a little more
59:42
professional than what we
59:44
experienced personally.
59:47
What I thought was a really
59:48
cool move was day one was
59:50
outside on that run,
59:52
and they made wearing the
59:54
uniforms optional so they
59:55
could wear lighter clothing because...
59:58
some of the adaptives are,
1:00:00
they are sun sensitive.
1:00:02
Um, and so they,
1:00:03
because they were doing it for some,
1:00:05
they did it for the entire
1:00:06
community and allowed them
1:00:08
to wear whatever they wanted.
1:00:09
And then as they went indoors,
1:00:11
they then made the,
1:00:12
the uniforms mandatory.
1:00:15
So I thought that was,
1:00:15
that was a cool move by wheel wad in,
1:00:18
in all that.
1:00:21
Um, but yeah, it, and it,
1:00:24
and it brought to light even more, uh,
1:00:27
More categories of adaptive, maybe, like,
1:00:30
you got to see people that
1:00:32
it appears they have both legs,
1:00:34
but one doesn't work like it should.
1:00:36
Or, you know, they have an arm,
1:00:39
but it doesn't work at all.
1:00:41
And that they have slings
1:00:42
that they use to keep it.
1:00:44
If it has limited,
1:00:45
they sling it away so you can't use it.
1:00:48
Mm-hmm.
1:00:49
to make it fair.
1:00:49
Like there was a lot of
1:00:51
things I learned about it.
1:00:53
But what was amazing is
1:00:55
going through all the different divisions,
1:00:56
how they modified the rower
1:00:58
so that everybody could use it,
1:01:00
how they modified the bike, how they like,
1:01:03
it just was really a cool
1:01:06
way to kind of see all the
1:01:07
different ways.
1:01:08
If you're a coach,
1:01:09
how you could scale for
1:01:11
anybody coming into your
1:01:12
gym by flipping the
1:01:19
Um,
1:01:19
I don't know if you saw that they
1:01:20
flipped the rower up or
1:01:23
they just put it down and
1:01:24
they brought the chain up over the box,
1:01:26
but they put it under a
1:01:28
dumbbell to keep it like in a track.
1:01:30
Okay.
1:01:31
They could, they could pull on it.
1:01:33
Um,
1:01:34
the bike had handles where you went to
1:01:37
the outside of the bike and
1:01:38
you could just crank on it if you,
1:01:40
if you were on a wheelchair.
1:01:41
Uh huh.
1:01:42
Um,
1:01:44
it just a lot of cool things
1:01:46
where you could see how
1:01:48
anybody could use the
1:01:49
equipment in your gym in a
1:01:50
different way and still get
1:01:52
a really good workout.
1:01:53
Is Kevin the only one programming?
1:01:57
Like it's like his mind,
1:01:58
the only one that's
1:01:59
programming for all those divisions.
1:02:02
Cause that's very impressive that he has,
1:02:03
I mean,
1:02:04
I'm sure he's going to other
1:02:05
professionals that are like,
1:02:06
or like other athletes that.
1:02:08
I know he's the head programmer or,
1:02:10
or responsible for it
1:02:11
doesn't mean he didn't get help.
1:02:13
Yeah.
1:02:13
But,
1:02:15
yeah, I don't know.
1:02:17
That'd be a great question to ask him.
1:02:20
Cause that's a lot to think
1:02:22
about like the amount of
1:02:24
different divisions and
1:02:25
adaptations that you have to do.
1:02:26
Um,
1:02:28
but it's great to see the addition of
1:02:30
all those new divisions
1:02:31
that couldn't be there at
1:02:33
the regular old CrossFit games.
1:02:37
Um,
1:02:38
and I think that if they can continue
1:02:40
to showcase it,
1:02:41
it's only going to just keep growing.
1:02:43
Um,
1:02:44
and give a, you know,
1:02:45
an opportunity to a lot of
1:02:46
athletes out there that
1:02:47
don't know that this exists, you know,
1:02:50
a dream to, to perform on that big stage.
1:02:52
So, um,
1:02:54
really cool to see and I'm happy
1:02:56
that it looked like it was
1:02:57
successful and hopefully
1:03:00
they find a good weekend
1:03:01
next year for it.
1:03:02
That allows more people to
1:03:04
get some eyes on it.
1:03:08
They, I looked at the,
1:03:09
at the stats as I was
1:03:11
watching on Thursday and
1:03:12
Friday closely and,
1:03:14
They were staying around
1:03:15
eight hundred on Thursday.
1:03:17
It was around six hundred on Friday.
1:03:20
I was hoping those numbers
1:03:21
would be a little bit higher.
1:03:24
But if you have a chance,
1:03:26
go go watch a little bit of it.
1:03:28
Just give them a view.
1:03:30
Give them a like.
1:03:32
So at least it pushes it out
1:03:33
a little bit more.
1:03:34
So people who don't know
1:03:36
what goes on with adaptive
1:03:37
athletes in the sport can see it.
1:03:41
But it doesn't cost you
1:03:42
anything to start up a video.
1:03:44
And hit the like button.
1:03:46
These athletes need
1:03:47
highlighted any way we can do that.
1:03:50
And I highly encourage you
1:03:51
to go out and do that.
1:03:56
You should do that for all the cross.
1:03:57
If you are into CrossFit and
1:03:59
you love watching it,
1:04:00
you should start every
1:04:01
CrossFit video of these
1:04:04
athletes competing and hit
1:04:05
the like button at the very least.
1:04:09
Get the numbers up as high
1:04:10
as you can because that's
1:04:11
what sells to companies who
1:04:13
want to sponsor.
1:04:14
That sells to companies who
1:04:16
want to be able to stream.
1:04:19
And we need more competition
1:04:20
of production companies who
1:04:23
are willing to stream.
1:04:26
Because one thing I will say,
1:04:29
I think we use the same
1:04:30
basic production company
1:04:32
for just about everything.
1:04:33
And when you hit...
1:04:36
When you hit spots where the
1:04:37
audio goes out, it's frustrating.
1:04:42
It would be nice to have
1:04:43
some competition in the
1:04:44
space so that everybody got
1:04:46
better and maybe the price
1:04:50
gets lowered and more
1:04:51
people can see things that we do.
1:04:59
That's all I got to say
1:05:00
about that's my little mini
1:05:01
riff of the week.
1:05:04
and hit the like button on this podcast,
1:05:07
sure.
1:05:08
We appreciate it, too.
1:05:10
We appreciate it very much.
1:05:13
So that's all I got for tonight.
1:05:14
We have tomorrow.
1:05:16
We have Jenny Hall coming on tomorrow,
1:05:19
who is Dense Updates,
1:05:21
talking about what she's
1:05:22
doing in the space.
1:05:23
We have episode three of the
1:05:26
behind-the-scenes of the
1:05:26
Masters CrossFit Games
1:05:28
coming tomorrow at one
1:05:30
o'clock Eastern time, ten a.m.
1:05:32
Pacific time.
1:05:35
And other than that,
1:05:37
that's about it for this weekend.
1:05:38
We are thinking about moving
1:05:40
the roundtable to Thursday
1:05:41
afternoons at twelve
1:05:43
fifteen instead of Tuesdays
1:05:45
because Amy runs a
1:05:48
preschool and that
1:05:49
preschool needs her on Tuesdays now.
1:05:51
So we're thinking about
1:05:52
moving it to Thursdays.
1:05:53
Plus it splits our two shows
1:05:56
apart like about half a
1:05:58
week apart from each other.
1:06:00
um and gives us a little
1:06:01
more fresh ideas going into
1:06:03
each show so uh if you
1:06:06
don't see us tuesday look
1:06:08
for us on thursday um I
1:06:10
will get with them first
1:06:11
thing tomorrow morning and
1:06:12
we will have a definitive
1:06:14
and I'll get it out into
1:06:15
onto youtube with what we're doing
1:06:18
With that, like, subscribe.
1:06:19
You know the drill.
1:06:20
If you're listening to us,
1:06:21
five-star review,
1:06:23
all that stuff on iTunes.
1:06:26
We'd love that as well.
1:06:28
And with that,
1:06:29
we'll see everybody next
1:06:30
week on Sunday Night CrossFit Talk.
1:06:33
You know, the original, right, Kenneth?
1:06:36
The original.
1:06:37
Bye.
