- 0:31welcome to the friday

- 0:37crossfit talk it is really
- 0:40cool getting to watch a
- 0:42competitive crossfit event
- 0:44and it being done at three
- 0:46o'clock in the afternoon
- 0:48and you like that a wrap-up
- 0:50show at a decent hour other
- 0:51than stuff with my wife tonight
- 0:55I guess other than the wrap up,
- 0:57being able to do the wrap
- 0:58up and like have dinner and be free.
- 1:00I like, I feel rushed to try to watch it.
- 1:04Like I would rather get home
- 1:06and then rewatch the events.
- 1:08I mean,
- 1:10I'm at the gym when this is going on,
- 1:12so it's just tough.
- 1:15yeah I I didn't get to watch
- 1:17it with the intent
- 1:18intention that I usually do
- 1:20right because actually what
- 1:21I was doing work at work
- 1:23today um and so I had it on
- 1:26like off to my left of my
- 1:29screen so I kind of I was
- 1:31following along but I was
- 1:32working on some testing and
- 1:33stuff stuff like that so I
- 1:35didn't get to um really pay
- 1:38super close attention um
- 1:41kat texted me in the middle of event
- 1:45handstand push-up one okay
- 1:47the third one and
- 1:48questioned adler's rep
- 1:50count and I was like I have
- 1:52no idea I I'm not counting
- 1:54reps I don't even if I'm
- 1:56watching intently I don't
- 1:57know if I'm counting reps
- 1:59yeah I mean how often does
- 2:03the camera stay on one
- 2:04person long enough for you
- 2:04to even be able to do that
- 2:07so with the new vr in the
- 2:09tailgate you actually get
- 2:12to move the camera to
- 2:13whoever you want that's awesome
- 2:15you could watch the same
- 2:16person um but again like
- 2:20maybe back when I was
- 2:20judging all the time like I
- 2:22might have counted reps to
- 2:23like just because that
- 2:26would be in my frame of
- 2:27mind but now that I've
- 2:28retired judging like that
- 2:30doesn't even cross my mind
- 2:31anymore I'm I'm looking for
- 2:33the stories I'm looking for
- 2:36what to talk about on these
- 2:37shows yeah um but
- 2:40I rarely count reps,
- 2:42but I am watching reps, like,
- 2:44for good reps.
- 2:45Like,
- 2:45I'm watching people's ring muscle-ups.
- 2:47I heard some comments on, like,
- 2:49squat depth, even the squat snatch.
- 2:51I actually thought everyone
- 2:52looked really great today.
- 2:55I did, too.
- 2:56When people were getting no-repped,
- 2:58it actually surprised me.
- 2:59Agreed.
- 3:01For the first time.
- 3:02Usually, it's the inverse of that.
- 3:04Right.
- 3:05Where this was a surprise
- 3:07that they actually threw a no-rep.
- 3:08Right.
- 3:11But the angle was mostly like head on.
- 3:13Yeah.
- 3:14So it's not the best angle
- 3:15to judge a squat.
- 3:17But even that, like a lot of the,
- 3:20like butt looked below.
- 3:21Yeah.
- 3:25Yeah, I agree.
- 3:29I was doing so good in shot
- 3:30collar until the last event.
- 3:32Really?
- 3:33I haven't even looked.
- 3:34So Jeff, pull that up.
- 3:36I haven't looked since the last event.
- 3:39Apparently Birch and I are tied.
- 3:40Yeah.
- 3:42I don't know.
- 3:42That could be good or bad.
- 3:44It could be.
- 3:44Yeah.
- 3:45How are we doing, Jeff?
- 3:46Are we doing okay?
- 3:46You just, you both are in that,
- 3:50in that direction, which whichever it is.
- 3:56Yeah.
- 3:56So in the, and I know we,
- 3:58you and I talked about this
- 3:59a little bit since you
- 4:02haven't been able to
- 4:02necessarily watch it live
- 4:04and you bought the tailgate stream,
- 4:07you noticed you can't,
- 4:08rewind while it's live you
- 4:11gotta now you could go back
- 4:13and watch it right so so
- 4:18yeah it's it's kind of
- 4:20misleading I don't want to
- 4:21downplay down dog this
- 4:23because it is a great great
- 4:26supplement to watching the
- 4:28event but the going back
- 4:30and watching it is not as
- 4:32easy as they make it out to be okay
- 4:35And the replays that are
- 4:37available in that hub are
- 4:39the main telecast.
- 4:43So you're just getting what
- 4:44you can get on YouTube.
- 4:47Okay.
- 4:47For the replays.
- 4:49You cannot pause the tailgate party.
- 4:53You cannot do that.
- 4:56But the commentary on the
- 4:57tailgate party was awesome.
- 5:01Did you buy it this year?
- 5:03No, I haven't.
- 5:03And I might get it tomorrow.
- 5:06I just,
- 5:07I knew today was going to be sort
- 5:08of tough for me watching live.
- 5:12Although this morning I was
- 5:13able to kind of watch live
- 5:15a couple of events.
- 5:17yeah I actually I actually
- 5:19woke up at like five this
- 5:21morning to pee and so I
- 5:24just I turned it on yeah
- 5:26and I watched strongman I
- 5:28watched it up to watch thor
- 5:31lift a thousand ten pounds
- 5:33which and it didn't even
- 5:34look hard which was just
- 5:37astounding insane um
- 5:43And then I came downstairs
- 5:45so I could give full
- 5:45attention to the first heat
- 5:48of men doing the run sandbag carry thing,
- 5:55which turned out to be an amazing event.
- 5:57I liked it.
- 6:00For a long run event,
- 6:02it was really exciting to watch.
- 6:04Mm-hmm.
- 6:05And I do think like the,
- 6:08the tailgate party offers a
- 6:09lot to that commentary
- 6:11because they'll not only
- 6:14because it was Annie, Annie and Josh.
- 6:18with pat sherwood and they
- 6:20they were talking they were
- 6:22telling stories as well as
- 6:25giving commentary but when
- 6:26they're out on a four meter
- 6:27run it's okay that they're
- 6:29telling a story in round
- 6:31four right you know I mean
- 6:33um one of the stories that
- 6:34was awesome was uh
- 6:38that Jason Hopper came up to
- 6:43Josh Bridges after saying
- 6:44that he had finished
- 6:46seventh every year at Rogue,
- 6:48that he's been there,
- 6:49and top five is winning.
- 6:52And Josh goes, so Annie,
- 6:53what do you think about the
- 6:54phrase top five is winning?
- 6:56And Annie's like, no.
- 7:00No, winning is winning.
- 7:04We're not about participation trophies.
- 7:07Fair enough.
- 7:10She said it's fine to have a
- 7:11realistic goal.
- 7:12Yes.
- 7:13But winning is winning.
- 7:15Right.
- 7:18And it was awesome.
- 7:21Yeah.
- 7:23uh that's just one of the
- 7:23highlights of this morning
- 7:25um but that event was
- 7:27awesome so let's go through
- 7:29the events we're just kind
- 7:30of rambling around at this
- 7:31point um and then we'll
- 7:33talk about the alternate
- 7:34broadcast real quick and
- 7:36then we'll preview tomorrow
- 7:37a little bit okay so event
- 7:39one was the run sandbag
- 7:41that started with the men
- 7:44um it came down to a two
- 7:47tenths of a second race
- 7:50in a nineteen minute event,
- 7:54which is unreal.
- 7:57So Adler and Ricky came down
- 8:00and Ricky came from behind
- 8:02and got to two tenths of a
- 8:04second win at the very end.
- 8:06And it was unreal watching
- 8:07them sprint the last.
- 8:10Twenty five yards was amazing.
- 8:13I mean, it sucks for Adler.
- 8:14It's so hard to know your lead.
- 8:18I mean, you know, he's sprinting, but like,
- 8:19it's just different when you're,
- 8:23when you're Ricky and
- 8:23you're that feet behind you, just,
- 8:26it's just different.
- 8:29Props to Ricky.
- 8:30That was a great finish.
- 8:31Well,
- 8:31and he kind of had the psychological
- 8:34advantage because he had the closer lane.
- 8:36Yep.
- 8:37right so even though they
- 8:39went out the other way so
- 8:40it was longer for him to
- 8:42get out that coming back in
- 8:44just gave him that
- 8:45psychological edge like if
- 8:46I'm going to take him it
- 8:47has to be here and it was
- 8:51it was pretty awesome yeah
- 8:53um lynn's talking about sam
- 8:55cornway who killed the
- 8:57first heat he did and it
- 8:59would have been interesting
- 9:00to see what he would have
- 9:01done had he been in heat too
- 9:04Because there was, well,
- 9:06he kind of came out of nowhere, too.
- 9:08Yeah.
- 9:09Because that was mostly Chandler.
- 9:12So, yeah, exactly.
- 9:16I almost feel like it's
- 9:18possible he could have done
- 9:19worse if he would have been
- 9:20in the better heat.
- 9:22Like, he was in this comfortable place.
- 9:26probably just tail and heels
- 9:28and then was able to surge
- 9:31there on that last one.
- 9:33If he would have tried to go
- 9:34faster earlier with some of
- 9:35that lead crowd, I mean,
- 9:38he looked great at the end,
- 9:39so maybe he could have gone even faster,
- 9:41but I feel like if he could
- 9:43have gone even faster,
- 9:43he would have gone under
- 9:45the lead in the sixth,
- 9:46seventh round and won by a larger margin,
- 9:51kind of like Haley.
- 9:51So I don't know.
- 9:53Yeah,
- 9:53it would have been very interesting
- 9:54to see him in the other heat.
- 9:56So let me ask you this.
- 9:57Do you think the sandbags
- 9:59made a difference?
- 10:02Did it matter the strategy
- 10:03you used in moving the sandbags?
- 10:07Yeah, I do think it mattered a little bit.
- 10:11The order, I don't know.
- 10:13I was trying to figure that out.
- 10:15Most people seem to go kind
- 10:16of similar order.
- 10:18But, I mean, Jay cost himself with that,
- 10:24with dropping it.
- 10:26Yeah.
- 10:27Um, so you couldn't,
- 10:29you definitely couldn't
- 10:29have a mistake on the sandbag.
- 10:31And then there was an actually, I mean,
- 10:32feel like Jay messed up
- 10:33twice in that workout.
- 10:34Well, three times getting his ruck off,
- 10:37dropping the sandbag or
- 10:39when he was trying to lift
- 10:39it and then dropping it and
- 10:41getting called back to like
- 10:42fix it in his lane.
- 10:44So he had some, uh, definite hangups.
- 10:48I saw this, but,
- 10:50but Ricky saved the two hundred,
- 10:52the big pill.
- 10:54For Last and Adler did not.
- 10:56Adler saved Little Bag.
- 10:58Okay.
- 10:59And I thought that that was
- 11:00going to be enough to get
- 11:01out further ahead.
- 11:02Yeah.
- 11:03But it didn't seem to...
- 11:08Huh?
- 11:09Yeah.
- 11:09That is super interesting.
- 11:10I didn't notice that.
- 11:11I noticed is they did say
- 11:12there's a monitor back in
- 11:13the warmup area.
- 11:15The second heat was much smoother with the,
- 11:18the rucks coming off and,
- 11:21and the bag movement.
- 11:22And I think they also were
- 11:23more elite athletes like
- 11:24Adler made all of those
- 11:26sandbags look light.
- 11:27Yes.
- 11:28And so,
- 11:28and so did Ricky for the most part.
- 11:30So I think for them,
- 11:34it really didn't matter.
- 11:36I know none of the women dragged the bag.
- 11:39There was only one or two
- 11:40men that dragged it, right?
- 11:43Yeah.
- 11:44Only one of the men did any dragging.
- 11:45Right.
- 11:46And then everyone was like, yeah,
- 11:46that's not worth it.
- 11:49Yeah.
- 11:50You don't know that the
- 11:51order played a role.
- 11:53Maybe some of the forward to back.
- 11:56I think it may have played
- 11:56more of a role in the women's race.
- 12:00Because you could tell some
- 12:04of those bags were pretty
- 12:05heavy for Haley.
- 12:06yes definitely messed with
- 12:09their stride they had to
- 12:10pick it up right yes I
- 12:13agree and I noticed like
- 12:16she picked up the heaviest
- 12:17bag right after she dropped
- 12:18the rock which I think was
- 12:23a pretty smart move like
- 12:25don't do it while you have
- 12:26the extra twenty pounds on
- 12:28right I knew it um so
- 12:33Well, Jay Birch moved in front of me,
- 12:35apparently.
- 12:37I must have tanked the last one.
- 12:39Yeah, I was humming right along.
- 12:42I think it's messed up
- 12:43because there's people that
- 12:44have more than the possible.
- 12:47There's someone with six
- 12:47hundred and five points.
- 12:48You can only have six
- 12:49hundred points right now.
- 12:51Weird.
- 12:55But I was good until I
- 12:57picked Alex Kazan in the last event.
- 13:01She hurt me.
- 13:02Bad.
- 13:04Yeah, that was yeah.
- 13:08Interesting performance there.
- 13:10We'll get to that.
- 13:11Yep.
- 13:12So in the, the women's race, uh,
- 13:14Haley had a great first heat,
- 13:16nobody around her.
- 13:18Yeah.
- 13:19Now she's one for, I gotta say,
- 13:23I fully expected Sydney to
- 13:28work with hate.
- 13:28Like I expected them to be
- 13:30way out front and working together.
- 13:34I'm shocked that Sydney
- 13:35wasn't second in that heat.
- 13:37So that sucks for Haley,
- 13:38that she truly was on her
- 13:40own in that heat.
- 13:41I think she for sure could
- 13:42have gotten fourth.
- 13:46Yeah, I do agree.
- 13:48I think if she would have
- 13:49been in that lead heat,
- 13:50she would have done better.
- 13:53But nobody was beating Tia.
- 13:55Absolutely not.
- 13:57Nope.
- 14:00And Gabby Magawa took second.
- 14:02She did great.
- 14:02She looked awesome.
- 14:04Emily Rolfe took third and
- 14:06Laura Horvath took fourth.
- 14:11Yeah.
- 14:13Two time caps for the women in that event,
- 14:16about two minute,
- 14:17two minute off from men to
- 14:20women in that kind of the
- 14:24general theme I'm seeing today.
- 14:27yeah I yeah but I thought
- 14:28that was a great event um I
- 14:30thought it was well done I
- 14:32thought the sandbag thing
- 14:33was fun whether it played a
- 14:34part or not um the fact
- 14:37that they had to make a
- 14:37choice and that they could
- 14:39not drop it like you could
- 14:41not drop the bag no um that
- 14:45was that was pretty awesome
- 14:48So before we move on to point two,
- 14:50none of my prop bets have
- 14:52finished yet unless I do
- 14:53not have them all loaded.
- 14:55Lynn says you can get more
- 14:56than six hundred with prop bets.
- 14:57But all the prop bets that I saw were like,
- 15:00well,
- 15:01Taylor Williamson finished overall
- 15:02this weekend at blah, blah, blah.
- 15:04And we'll.
- 15:07Yeah,
- 15:07I'm trying to differentiate between
- 15:10Gab or Gabby and Laura.
- 15:12I'm thinking it's the I
- 15:14think there was one for Tia.
- 15:18Wasn't there one for Tia in
- 15:19that first event?
- 15:20Maybe not.
- 15:22There was.
- 15:22I did not see it.
- 15:29Yeah, the prop bets I see are Taylor,
- 15:30Gabby versus Laura, James Sprague,
- 15:32and Laura versus the field.
- 15:33That's all I see.
- 15:35So yeah, none should be in there.
- 15:36You're right.
- 15:37And none of those are finished.
- 15:40Yeah, you're right.
- 15:44And right now...
- 15:47Now we have people with nine
- 15:49hundred points.
- 15:53How do you have nine hundred points?
- 15:55Well, I guess.
- 15:59OK, that's right.
- 16:00That seems right.
- 16:01But nine hundred five.
- 16:02Yeah.
- 16:03Yeah.
- 16:03So I have eight hundred five points.
- 16:07Because you have a hundred for three.
- 16:08It should still only be six
- 16:09hundred points.
- 16:11No, you get the extra points.
- 16:14Nine hundred points is the most,
- 16:15but you still can't even
- 16:16get that because your flex can't win two.
- 16:20Like one of the three can't
- 16:22get a hundred points.
- 16:27You have the two winners and
- 16:28you have your flex.
- 16:28It can only get ninety five.
- 16:36Yeah, I can't drill down.
- 16:37Oh, wait.
- 16:38Let's see.
- 16:38I'm trying to see this
- 16:41wrangle who's in first,
- 16:43what he has for point-wise.
- 16:46So it looks like he has hundred, hundred,
- 16:48ninety-five.
- 16:51North Sea has hundred, ninety, hundred.
- 16:55And then ninety-five, one-twenty-five,
- 16:59one-hundred.
- 17:00So somehow he got a hundred
- 17:01and twenty-five points for
- 17:02picking Emmental in Braveheart.
- 17:08How is that possible?
- 17:08I don't know.
- 17:11That does seem – because Tia
- 17:12Toomey got him a hundred points.
- 17:16A hundred and twenty-five
- 17:17points for him at all makes no sense.
- 17:19There seems to be an error
- 17:21in there somewhere.
- 17:22Yeah.
- 17:22There's been some all day,
- 17:24so we'll just let that go.
- 17:25Okay.
- 17:27So then event two was your
- 17:30favorite echo bike, muscle up,
- 17:33squat snatch, shuttle run.
- 17:35Mm-hmm.
- 17:39On the men's side, they went first.
- 17:41He won, killed it, but then what the hell?
- 17:45He ran so slow.
- 17:49I don't know that he did.
- 17:51Quite honestly,
- 17:51everyone looked slow to me.
- 17:53Fikowski was shuffling.
- 17:57I didn't think he looked that slow.
- 17:58Would I have liked to have
- 18:00seen him pick it up for the last two?
- 18:01Yeah.
- 18:03Also tough when you're out on your own.
- 18:07to know that you need to, I mean, yes,
- 18:08you should know there's a
- 18:09whole nother heat and
- 18:09people are going to move fast,
- 18:11but it was only by like,
- 18:12ended up being by like five seconds.
- 18:13So yeah, that sucks.
- 18:15It sucks for him that he wasn't in a,
- 18:17in the other heat and had
- 18:19some more urgency.
- 18:20Um, but yeah.
- 18:23And then we had Dallin pepper,
- 18:25just crush it and heat too.
- 18:27Uh,
- 18:28and I think that workout all came down
- 18:31to the squat snatches.
- 18:34hundred unless you were
- 18:35terrible at one of the
- 18:36other unless you were
- 18:37terrible at muscle ups
- 18:38right it came down to who
- 18:41could get through those
- 18:43eight squat snatches
- 18:44fastest yep and gee killed
- 18:47it and he won and dylan
- 18:48killed it in heat too and
- 18:52there you had it we then
- 18:56moved to the women
- 18:58Now the women,
- 18:59so most of the men took like
- 19:01one break on the muscle-ups.
- 19:02Yep.
- 19:03The women, it was more than one break.
- 19:06And the announcers on the
- 19:08tailgate were very adamant about like,
- 19:10if you're not going to just
- 19:11go pick up the bar,
- 19:12it's better to take a rest
- 19:14on the muscle-up so that
- 19:16you're ready for the bar
- 19:18when you get there.
- 19:19It's pointless to spend it
- 19:22all out on the...
- 19:24on the muscle up like Emma tall did,
- 19:26and then get to the bar and
- 19:29sit there for two minutes
- 19:32and then miss your first attempt.
- 19:36Right.
- 19:37So, um,
- 19:39Emma tall came out super hot in
- 19:40that event.
- 19:42Um, in, in that one, it was, who was it?
- 19:47And he won.
- 19:48He won was, um, Taylor Williamson.
- 19:53Oh yeah.
- 19:53Not shocked.
- 19:54Yeah.
- 19:54Yeah.
- 19:56I mean,
- 19:56she can get through those snatches
- 19:59fatigued for sure.
- 20:02And then he too, it was T the Tia show, uh,
- 20:06with Gabby McGowan right there.
- 20:09Well,
- 20:09as right there as you can be against
- 20:11Tia to me.
- 20:13Um, but yeah, very respectful,
- 20:17respectable.
- 20:17What?
- 20:20I had to take one of my
- 20:20earphones out and it's now
- 20:22dangling and making,
- 20:25making life hell for me.
- 20:27Um, so in event two, I'm going to re we,
- 20:32then we had Laura in third, um,
- 20:35Taylor from heat one came
- 20:36in fourth and then Mano
- 20:38Anganese from heat one came in fifth.
- 20:40Yeah.
- 20:41How exciting was that race between, uh,
- 20:44Gabby and Laura?
- 20:47It's pretty exciting,
- 20:48except for Gabby really
- 20:49pulled apart in the shuttle runs,
- 20:51which shocked me.
- 20:52Yeah, I was like, you know,
- 20:57yelling at the TV, pick it up, come on.
- 21:00That was exciting.
- 21:03No communication between them, no.
- 21:06I think I was going to say,
- 21:07this is probably a good
- 21:08time to bring this up, right?
- 21:09There's been no interaction
- 21:10between the two of them at all.
- 21:12No.
- 21:13This show isn't always about the tea.
- 21:16But this tea, everybody knew coming in,
- 21:20there's been this mystery.
- 21:21Is it going to be weird?
- 21:23Is it going to be?
- 21:24And it was definitely weird.
- 21:25Agreed.
- 21:27And I think it has affected Laura.
- 21:33She seems a little bit off.
- 21:36And it seems to have driven Gabby.
- 21:40It does seem to have driven Gabby.
- 21:41I think Laura's done exactly
- 21:45what she would have done
- 21:47had nothing changed for her, honestly.
- 21:50I mean, she got fourth in the run event.
- 21:55She did fine.
- 21:57And third in this event.
- 21:59Yeah.
- 22:00Very, very close.
- 22:02But she is such a monster on the eco bike.
- 22:06And her lifting is so good.
- 22:10Like I would have thought
- 22:11she would have beat Gabby in that event.
- 22:14I am.
- 22:15Look like she,
- 22:16she shifted down on the shuttle run.
- 22:19It did.
- 22:20She did look tight.
- 22:22Maybe the first event taking
- 22:24forth took more out of her
- 22:25than we anticipated.
- 22:28Everyone looked slow in the shuttles.
- 22:30Everyone.
- 22:32You got to think they just
- 22:33ran and picked up sandbags
- 22:34for a pretty long distance.
- 22:37don't disagree I just think
- 22:38that that there was there
- 22:41had to be some stress on
- 22:42laura she's the defending
- 22:44games champ did not
- 22:45complete the games because
- 22:47of the tragedy she is the
- 22:49rogue champion coming back
- 22:51that's a lot of pressure
- 22:53and then you throw on top
- 22:54of this this gabby kristoff
- 22:57thing of whatever it is and
- 23:01it just seems because when
- 23:03she finishes she just goes
- 23:04and sits on a cooler
- 23:05I know she's that's the I
- 23:07think that's even bigger
- 23:08than maybe not talking to Gabby.
- 23:12She's not talking to anybody.
- 23:13She's the lone wolf out there.
- 23:14Yeah, exactly.
- 23:16And Gabby's over there
- 23:17taking selfies with the
- 23:18fans and doing all that.
- 23:20Like people love her.
- 23:21People are here for it.
- 23:23They are.
- 23:24It's crazy.
- 23:30So then we go to.
- 23:34Did you like that event?
- 23:37I thought it was fun to
- 23:38watch as a spectator.
- 23:43Do you like when there's a
- 23:46pretty big discrepancy
- 23:47between the men and women?
- 23:50Do you not care because it's
- 23:52two different... I don't care.
- 23:53The women are going against the women,
- 23:55the men are going against the men,
- 23:56so it doesn't matter?
- 23:58It's two different events to me.
- 24:00And I like the races on both sides.
- 24:05You and Carolyn...
- 24:06drafted a novel the other night on text.
- 24:10And I know that your
- 24:11feelings on it and I get
- 24:12where you're coming from as
- 24:13a competitor and as a female competitor,
- 24:17wanting to kind of have the
- 24:20same experience as the men.
- 24:21Yeah.
- 24:23Right.
- 24:23So I get all of that, but me as a fan,
- 24:26as a spectator, I just enjoyed the races.
- 24:30So I enjoyed watching like, like,
- 24:35I enjoyed watching people be
- 24:37dominant who are dominant at,
- 24:39at those things.
- 24:40Like Tia is so good at
- 24:41muscle ups and so good at lifting.
- 24:43Like there was no question
- 24:45she was going to win that.
- 24:47Sure.
- 24:48But even she was a minute behind the men.
- 24:53Right.
- 24:53That's not, you know,
- 24:55that doesn't matter to me
- 24:57because I'm not paying.
- 24:58I'm not looking at what the
- 24:59men got when I'm watching the women go.
- 25:03I know you and Carolyn are because I,
- 25:05so I totally understand
- 25:07where you're coming from.
- 25:09I just, I, I, I mean,
- 25:12I expect Tia to dominate
- 25:14all every event really.
- 25:15Um, it's,
- 25:17it's awesome to see Tia push the
- 25:20level of fitness and
- 25:21strength and combine that.
- 25:23And you like Tia is normally
- 25:24somebody that you would
- 25:25maybe even consider in this
- 25:26event would have, um,
- 25:28Biked moderately hard,
- 25:30probably gone unbroken in
- 25:32the ring muscle-ups,
- 25:33and then cycled the snatch fairly fast.
- 25:37And you just even, you know, well, I mean,
- 25:40even the men didn't really
- 25:41go unbroken in muscle-ups,
- 25:43which people thought they might.
- 25:48To see five time caps...
- 25:50out of twenty people,
- 25:53I think it's over-programmed.
- 25:54I think you get people
- 25:56watching the stream
- 25:58thinking people are going
- 25:59to darn near touch and go
- 26:00these snatches and sprint
- 26:02these shuttles when they're
- 26:05fatigued on heavy legs from
- 26:06just biking and hitting the snatches.
- 26:09It's frustrating for me to watch.
- 26:14It reminds me a little bit
- 26:15of the of the commentary
- 26:17after and even like the wrap up of J.R.
- 26:20talking about dumb standard.
- 26:22You like he said,
- 26:28the only two people at that
- 26:29competition that were able
- 26:30to make that event about
- 26:31fitness were Colton and Taylor.
- 26:34Two men.
- 26:35There was no women that
- 26:36really able to make it much
- 26:37about fitness like that.
- 26:39And I think that I just, for me,
- 26:41that's what we're missing in this sport.
- 26:42And people keep pushing the
- 26:43strength and we aren't just like, I mean,
- 26:47if they're talking about on the,
- 26:48on the broadcast, keep taking breaks,
- 26:50like you need to be ready
- 26:51to hit the spot.
- 26:51And even then they have to
- 26:52stand around before they hit the snatch.
- 26:54Like,
- 26:54why are we upping the weight on the
- 26:56snatch for the women?
- 26:57Why?
- 26:58But let's be fair.
- 27:00Let's be fair.
- 27:01Sydney Wells did not cap
- 27:03because of the weight on the bar.
- 27:08Okay,
- 27:09but it's even like you could have
- 27:12done... Taylor Hale did not
- 27:15cap because of the weight on the bar.
- 27:17Sure.
- 27:19It's, you know, yeah,
- 27:20there's definitely a ring
- 27:21muscle-up component to this for sure.
- 27:24But the fact that that is
- 27:26even more to my point,
- 27:27ring muscle-ups are just
- 27:29harder and more taxing on women.
- 27:31So to give men and women the
- 27:32exact same ring muscle-ups
- 27:34and then up the weight on
- 27:35the women for the snatch is just...
- 27:38Crazy to me.
- 27:41Maybe if you wanted to up,
- 27:42maybe you go twelve ring
- 27:43muscle ups and then do the
- 27:44one sixty and see and mix
- 27:47that weightlifting gymnastics component.
- 27:49But I just I'm I'm sick of
- 27:52seeing things slow down to
- 27:54hit these heavier weights
- 27:56when I'd rather see the fitness.
- 28:01And it's surprising.
- 28:03I know that that's kind of
- 28:04what Rogue's deal is, right?
- 28:06But the programmers are
- 28:08these two little guys that
- 28:10struggled with the heavy
- 28:11stuff their whole career.
- 28:15And then you have Katie,
- 28:16who loves a good back squat,
- 28:18which I love her for.
- 28:22But, you know... So, do you think it's...
- 28:30I can't even think it's the
- 28:31bias of the programmers
- 28:32because I can't imagine
- 28:33Josh and Chris wanting to go heavier,
- 28:37but they are men.
- 28:40Right.
- 28:41So are they looking at it
- 28:42for a female perspective?
- 28:43I don't know because the, I will say,
- 28:45I feel like the programming
- 28:46has been spot on for the men.
- 28:48There's been no time caps.
- 28:49There's been exciting races.
- 28:50It's been a little bit more
- 28:52pushing the fitness in the movements.
- 28:54Um,
- 28:55I've re I've actually really enjoyed
- 28:56all the races and the
- 28:58programming for the men.
- 29:00I can't say the same for the women.
- 29:03Yeah.
- 29:06Okay.
- 29:09I just enjoyed the race.
- 29:11So let's go to event three.
- 29:12You want everyone to finish
- 29:13to see the race, right?
- 29:15Right.
- 29:15And this early in the weekend,
- 29:16everybody should be doing all the work.
- 29:18Yes.
- 29:19That part I do get.
- 29:20Yeah.
- 29:21It's unfair just because you
- 29:23stink that you'd get out of
- 29:25doing all of the reps early
- 29:28in the week because that
- 29:29can actually help you out tomorrow.
- 29:32Mm-hmm.
- 29:36when you when you're really
- 29:37really bad no programming
- 29:38is going to help that
- 29:39that's true like sydney
- 29:42we've known this for years
- 29:43struggles on high volume
- 29:45muscle ups of any kind and
- 29:48it doesn't matter how you
- 29:49program it she's probably
- 29:50going to get capped yep
- 29:51taylor howe is not going to
- 29:54struggle with a barbell and
- 29:57it no matter how you
- 29:58programmed it she was going to struggle
- 30:03And you don't want to, you know,
- 30:05you program for the best,
- 30:07scale for the rest.
- 30:09And when you only have
- 30:10twenty people in this competition,
- 30:13there's no room for scaling.
- 30:14You have to,
- 30:15these are the best of the best.
- 30:19But I do get your point.
- 30:24I do think that the
- 30:27muscle-ups probably should
- 30:28have been a few less than the men.
- 30:32Yeah, I mean,
- 30:33I would have been okay with that option.
- 30:34Like,
- 30:35if you wanted to push the weight for
- 30:36the women, then we need to.
- 30:38Because, I mean, the women were twenty,
- 30:40thirty seconds slower off the bike,
- 30:42even with scaled calories,
- 30:45and it taxes them even more.
- 30:47Like,
- 30:47you're already putting them at a
- 30:49disadvantage.
- 30:52And it was a short bar on turf.
- 30:58So it was even heavier than it was listed.
- 31:01You would never expect that, right?
- 31:05Like, yeah.
- 31:09So Jay Birch comes in with,
- 31:10I've talked to Josh about
- 31:11this at previous Rogue events,
- 31:13and when it comes to weights for women,
- 31:15they are sometimes
- 31:16overruled on what they program.
- 31:18If you listen to the
- 31:19tailgate parties on these broadcasts,
- 31:21Josh talks about getting overruled a lot.
- 31:23Last year, he talked about it a ton.
- 31:25Not so far this year, but last year,
- 31:28Katie... I mean,
- 31:30it is Katie's... It is her event.
- 31:33Yeah.
- 31:36So...
- 31:38So we go to event three.
- 31:40Event three was the wall
- 31:42walk complex and the back squat.
- 31:49I,
- 31:49I'm a guy who loves a good back squat
- 31:53and I love that it's heavy
- 31:55and I love that it's
- 31:57programmed into this event
- 31:58and the counter punch of
- 32:01the gymnastics workout of
- 32:03the wall walk in the two
- 32:04strict handstand pushups I
- 32:06thought was beautiful.
- 32:08But if you stink at either one of these,
- 32:11you are going to pay.
- 32:13Yep.
- 32:15If you are Danielle Brandon
- 32:16and you can't back squat,
- 32:18you're going to pay.
- 32:20If you are Laura Horvat and
- 32:21you cannot handstand pushup strict,
- 32:25you're going to pay.
- 32:26She finished at least.
- 32:29She did.
- 32:31She did.
- 32:34But yeah, I mean, once again,
- 32:36a couple of caps on the
- 32:37women's side worked out fine for the men.
- 32:39Pretty good races.
- 32:42Yeah.
- 32:47Jeff Adler ends up winning this one.
- 32:50Only got to go under six.
- 32:54And Justin Medeiros needed a
- 32:56second place finish in this one.
- 32:59Very bad.
- 32:59Yes.
- 33:00Guy Medeiros takes third.
- 33:03Once again, out of that first heat,
- 33:06I J crouch fourth and Jorge
- 33:07Fernandez pops up with a
- 33:09fifth place finish.
- 33:11Yeah, I'm actually,
- 33:14that's one of my surprises
- 33:16of the day is where Jorge
- 33:18is sitting overall.
- 33:20Yeah, I've, I've got this sorted on that,
- 33:22but, um, we'll do rank.
- 33:25And then overall for the men,
- 33:26it's Adler first, Ricky second,
- 33:28Dallin third, Hopper fourth,
- 33:31Chandler Smith fifth,
- 33:34Patrick Vellner sixth, Guy seventh,
- 33:37Brent eighth, Jorge ninth,
- 33:39and Sam Conway tenth.
- 33:40Yeah.
- 33:41Yeah.
- 33:45Kenneth says,
- 33:45I'm not impressed by the programming.
- 33:47I am.
- 33:49I do see where Jamie's
- 33:50coming from on the second event.
- 33:52I will give her that,
- 33:54but the first event was freaking awesome.
- 33:56Yeah.
- 33:57First event was good.
- 33:59I mean, I thought it was great.
- 34:01It is different than the games.
- 34:02It is not something you see
- 34:04programmed very much anywhere,
- 34:06but squatting is a fundamental movement.
- 34:11And I,
- 34:11and I actually liked the wall walk
- 34:13into the handstand pushup.
- 34:15I liked it.
- 34:16I just, I think it was a little heavy.
- 34:20Lynn said, I love the programming.
- 34:26Yeah, we're fifty-fifty.
- 34:32So I thought that was a good race.
- 34:37That was a wall walk into
- 34:40handstand push-up event.
- 34:43The back squat only played a
- 34:44part if you were not real good.
- 34:48In my opinion.
- 34:48In my opinion.
- 34:51Yeah.
- 34:51Now some, some could cycle it pretty fast.
- 34:55Like, uh, like a Spiegel or, um, an Adler.
- 34:59Um, they did really well on this.
- 35:01Um,
- 35:02but pretty much everybody else was
- 35:04pretty consistent.
- 35:05Um,
- 35:05it was the handstand walk to handstand
- 35:09pushup that I really separated there.
- 35:13Yep.
- 35:13Those are gnarly.
- 35:14I've done those.
- 35:16And then on the women's side, uh,
- 35:19for this event,
- 35:19we had Tia in first Brooke
- 35:21Wells with a nice comeback into second.
- 35:23Wow.
- 35:24Um, Danny Spiegel in third,
- 35:26Gabby Magawa fourth Sydney Wells fifth.
- 35:30She needed that bad.
- 35:31Yeah.
- 35:32Uh,
- 35:33Taylor house sixth and Ariel low in
- 35:35seventh.
- 35:37And what's what I think,
- 35:39why I think it's good programming.
- 35:40Just think about it.
- 35:41Like,
- 35:43like Danny Spiegel had an eighteenth
- 35:45and a third.
- 35:49Sydney Wells had a twentieth and a fifth.
- 35:51Taylor Howe had a seventeenth and a sixth.
- 35:55Like you're getting a
- 35:56variety of stuff that's
- 35:59unless you are great, like Tia,
- 36:02who has all firsts or Gabby,
- 36:04who has all top five finishes like.
- 36:08You're seeing that up and
- 36:09down on the leaderboard.
- 36:11Yeah, I'm bummed for Haley.
- 36:14I wish,
- 36:15I wish she could have handled the
- 36:16squat just a little bit
- 36:17better and kept her in the race.
- 36:19I mean, she, that's my other big,
- 36:23other than Jorge being top
- 36:24ten at the end of the day,
- 36:26my biggest prize is her in event two.
- 36:28She looked incredible.
- 36:33She handled really well.
- 36:34I think she moved them faster than Danny.
- 36:38Now she was really meticulous about her.
- 36:40I think she took four breaks
- 36:42on ring muscle ups.
- 36:43Um,
- 36:45And like,
- 36:45I think she went like two to one
- 36:47at the end just to, you know,
- 36:49be ready for him.
- 36:49And yeah, it was smart move.
- 36:53You can see the people who
- 36:54tried to move a little faster earlier.
- 36:56It definitely cost them.
- 36:58They just couldn't recover.
- 37:00Couldn't get there.
- 37:01Couldn't lock out snatch or I don't know.
- 37:05Yeah.
- 37:05She did.
- 37:05That's my big thing.
- 37:06She looked incredible,
- 37:08which knowing that her
- 37:09strength has gone up.
- 37:10I actually,
- 37:12I thought that she would be
- 37:13okay through this one.
- 37:15I mean, I,
- 37:16I expect her to be great at the
- 37:18well walk.
- 37:18So I just like,
- 37:19even if you go slow and
- 37:20break up those back squats,
- 37:22I thought she'd finish.
- 37:24Um, I'm bummed for this,
- 37:26that this finish sucks.
- 37:29She's still in a,
- 37:30she's still not in a bad spot.
- 37:32Yeah.
- 37:33And I,
- 37:33and I think she'll do okay at the rest.
- 37:35Um, but yeah.
- 37:38So if we look at the overall
- 37:39rankings on the women,
- 37:40the top ten is Tia is first,
- 37:42Gabby McGowan second, Laura Horvat third,
- 37:45Brooke Wells fourth, Ariel Lowen fifth,
- 37:48Mano Angony sixth, Haley Adams seventh,
- 37:51Emily Rolfe eighth, Danny Spiegel ninth,
- 37:54and Maddie Sturt tenth.
- 38:00And what's crazy is like from...
- 38:05mean fourth place gosh laura
- 38:09fourteenth has a fourteenth
- 38:11brookwell's a fourteenth
- 38:12arielona twelfth mano a
- 38:15fifteenth haley adams a
- 38:16nineteenth emily rolfe an
- 38:18eighteenth like in the top
- 38:20ten everybody's had a
- 38:21really bad finish right but
- 38:26I think it's been an
- 38:26overall a really good first day
- 38:29So I'm going to... Kenneth's
- 38:32throwing all this stuff in.
- 38:34What about the rumors about
- 38:36training camp departures?
- 38:38I think there are training
- 38:39camp departures every year.
- 38:41And the rumor is coming from
- 38:43Peter White reporting that
- 38:45he saw people hanging out
- 38:46with people at Rogue that
- 38:48you don't normally see hang out together.
- 38:50But it was just...
- 38:52what he saw.
- 38:53There's nothing official about that.
- 38:55But because of the tragedy at the games,
- 38:57the offseason didn't start
- 38:59off as quickly as it normally does.
- 39:01And so that training camp
- 39:02movement hasn't really
- 39:04played out like it did in past years.
- 39:07And so the speculation is
- 39:09that it's probably going to
- 39:09happen right after Rogue.
- 39:11Because if you don't have
- 39:12coaches and athletes
- 39:14together in one spot to recruit,
- 39:16you're not going to get the
- 39:19training camp movement.
- 39:22But there's nothing official
- 39:23on this at all.
- 39:23This is just one report of
- 39:26people hanging out with each other.
- 39:28Who's hanging out with who?
- 39:29He did not say.
- 39:32So to report on this is just,
- 39:34it's sensitive at this point.
- 39:36Name names.
- 39:37Right.
- 39:38Well, I wasn't there to name names.
- 39:40No, I know.
- 39:40But like if Peter's even
- 39:41going to bring it up,
- 39:42name names or don't.
- 39:46Uh, what's event six.
- 39:48I have no clue.
- 39:49I,
- 39:50I do not have the inside sources that
- 39:52other people do.
- 39:54Um, so, and even if I knew it,
- 39:55I would never release it
- 39:56because I believe that, uh,
- 39:59the integrity of the sport
- 40:00is needed for it to grow.
- 40:02And I would not release that information.
- 40:06I mean, they might not release it until.
- 40:09Like right before it.
- 40:10Maybe in the morning.
- 40:11But there's another podcast,
- 40:14a very famous one, the Seven On Podcast,
- 40:17where people know what the event is.
- 40:19Oh, they do?
- 40:20Yeah, they're not saying what it is.
- 40:22So athletes must already know.
- 40:23They're just saying they know.
- 40:25Athletes must already know.
- 40:26Katie said that they do not know.
- 40:28Oh, geez.
- 40:29Well, how the frick do they know?
- 40:32If you know someone who
- 40:33tested it or someone who
- 40:36designed it or...
- 40:39Who, who the hell knows how they know you,
- 40:45there has to be a group of
- 40:46people that know, right.
- 40:48Any one of them spills the
- 40:50beans and it's leaked.
- 40:51Hmm.
- 40:56Yeah.
- 40:56Well, hopefully, I mean, I don't know.
- 40:58Hopefully get it early enough.
- 41:01We get it early enough as a
- 41:02public to be able to vote in a,
- 41:04in a heat one.
- 41:05Yeah.
- 41:05Yeah.
- 41:10I'm not usually sitting by
- 41:11my phone ready to put those
- 41:13score picks in.
- 41:17Yeah, I don't, I don't know either.
- 41:19I might have to do a blind.
- 41:23Yeah.
- 41:23Yeah.
- 41:24Cause everything's done by noon tomorrow.
- 41:27Oh gosh.
- 41:27I probably won't be able to watch any.
- 41:29I mean, we start our, we start class at.
- 41:30And finish around.
- 41:33I mean,
- 41:34I don't think we'll be done until
- 41:35like noon.
- 41:37I'll probably play it at the gym.
- 41:41So a couple other things.
- 41:42I, uh, Carolyn is there.
- 41:45If you didn't see, she was, uh,
- 41:47a guest on the tailgate party, uh,
- 41:49with Margo Alvarez and Josh Bridges.
- 41:53I think, no.
- 41:56Who was it?
- 41:56I don't even know.
- 41:58In your picture.
- 41:58I was trying to look at that.
- 41:59Who was on Margo beside her.
- 42:02And it's a spieler.
- 42:03It was spieler.
- 42:03Oh, okay.
- 42:04Sure.
- 42:05Would her and, uh, um,
- 42:11Yeah.
- 42:11And Margo.
- 42:12So they were really they were awesome.
- 42:16Carolyn was great on there.
- 42:17They talked about like
- 42:20getting fit using other sports.
- 42:22And of course,
- 42:22Carolyn is like the poster
- 42:23child for that because
- 42:25she's done every sport under the sun.
- 42:28And she played professional
- 42:29hockey until a year ago
- 42:31while she was competing in CrossFit.
- 42:33And counter to that was Margo saying,
- 42:35I would never have done
- 42:36that spiel or two.
- 42:38I was so like zoned in to
- 42:41being the best at CrossFit
- 42:43and getting stronger that I
- 42:44did not go skiing or I
- 42:45didn't go snowboarding at
- 42:48all during those times
- 42:48because I didn't want to risk injury.
- 42:51And Margo said the same thing.
- 42:52Mm hmm.
- 42:55And so they're definitely two.
- 42:58They both actually kind of
- 42:59lamented that they wish
- 43:00they would have taken a
- 43:01different approach because
- 43:04there can be balance and
- 43:05you still be really good at your sport.
- 43:10um so that was pretty fun um
- 43:13a couple other highlights
- 43:14from the tailgate party
- 43:16were they're they're doing
- 43:18this awesome job of like
- 43:20providing content in
- 43:21between events um it
- 43:23started this morning where
- 43:24they had a um they had
- 43:26velner horvat and mitchell
- 43:28hooper the three champions from last year
- 43:31interviewing each other I
- 43:33don't know if they were
- 43:34given questions or they
- 43:35came up with them on their
- 43:36own but it was great
- 43:37hearing the banter back and
- 43:39forth about different
- 43:39things and them truly
- 43:42wanting to know about each
- 43:44other um that was really
- 43:46good they played that in
- 43:47between some events they've
- 43:48been doing some of the
- 43:49rogue challenges with
- 43:52spectators so like tommy
- 43:55hackenbrook went up against
- 43:57two women in the sandbag hold
- 44:01The women beat Tommy.
- 44:03That's awesome.
- 44:04They did.
- 44:05Tonya Wagner went up against
- 44:07a man on the most devil's
- 44:12presses in two minutes.
- 44:16But I think it's cool that
- 44:17the legends are competing
- 44:19against just regular Joe's
- 44:22out of the fans.
- 44:23Those fans are probably
- 44:26highlight of their year.
- 44:28And they're doing it right
- 44:29in front of the desk of the
- 44:30tailgate party.
- 44:31That's awesome.
- 44:32Um, and so like you,
- 44:35you're hearing comments like, uh,
- 44:37spieler ripping on
- 44:38Hackenbrook the whole time
- 44:39he's holding the bag and,
- 44:41and stuff like that.
- 44:41It's, it's really, really fun.
- 44:43And it's cool that they're
- 44:44using that to kind of fill in the gaps.
- 44:48And it gives you something
- 44:49to watch and something to enjoy.
- 44:50They're playing videos.
- 44:52They're playing affiliate videos.
- 44:54They're playing a bunch of
- 44:56different things.
- 44:56It's really, really cool.
- 44:59And I'm really enjoying that.
- 45:00They've added this VR camera,
- 45:02which was not there last year,
- 45:04where during an event,
- 45:05you can actually click on a camera
- 45:08And I think Katie was describing,
- 45:09it's actually three cameras,
- 45:11but you can actually turn it.
- 45:13Okay.
- 45:14You can turn it.
- 45:15You can zoom in.
- 45:15You can zoom out.
- 45:17You can go to a specific
- 45:18lane during the event.
- 45:20And so if you want to watch one person,
- 45:22you can.
- 45:23If you want to zoom out and
- 45:25see the whole field, you can.
- 45:27You're pretty much the
- 45:28director with this VR camera.
- 45:31And there are two positions.
- 45:34There's one on the side and
- 45:36one on the rig.
- 45:38Okay.
- 45:39And so you can pick between
- 45:40the two and then you can zoom in,
- 45:42zoom out, turn, uh,
- 45:44and kind of catch
- 45:45everything you want to catch.
- 45:46That's amazing.
- 45:47I would totally do that for the games.
- 45:49Cause I can't stand who that,
- 45:51how the team on the floor,
- 45:54I cannot stand what they choose to show.
- 45:57Right.
- 45:58So like in that run event,
- 46:00if you wanted to see how
- 46:00many sandbags are left in the lane,
- 46:03you could zoom in and like,
- 46:04look at the sandbags if you wanted to.
- 46:07That's cool.
- 46:08was pretty cool so uh
- 46:13there's that and I I'd
- 46:16listen to event two with
- 46:17the traditional broadcast
- 46:18events one and three with
- 46:20the tailgate broadcast I
- 46:22really like the tailgate
- 46:23broadcast it sounds awesome
- 46:26Um,
- 46:26I'm really a fan of that and the
- 46:28athletes they have in again,
- 46:29they had Carolyn DeMarco.
- 46:31They've had, uh,
- 46:32Annie Thorstein or Nanny Sakamoto.
- 46:35They've had, um, in the strong man,
- 46:38they have those people come in, um,
- 46:40that I don't really know them very well,
- 46:42but, uh,
- 46:43I'm actually enjoying some of that.
- 46:46The stone to the pillar or
- 46:48stone to the whiskey barrel,
- 46:49whatever they they're doing there.
- 46:51I thought that was fun to watch.
- 46:53Um,
- 46:53but I'm having a good time with that as
- 46:54well.
- 46:56one the one thing at the
- 46:57tailgate though I do have
- 46:58to say I don't think the
- 46:59legends keep up with uh
- 47:03what's going on in the
- 47:04sport very well interesting because
- 47:09China Cho is with Pat
- 47:11Sherwood on one side of the
- 47:12desk and Miko Salo and
- 47:14Tommy Hackenbrook are on the other.
- 47:16And Hackenbrook goes, oh, Gabby,
- 47:18isn't she like really good
- 47:19friends with Laura?
- 47:21Don't they train together?
- 47:22And China is subtly trying to go, well,
- 47:25Gabby's training at Krypton
- 47:27and the Hackenbrook's like, well,
- 47:28doesn't Laura train there too?
- 47:30Not right now.
- 47:31She's not training there now.
- 47:33And China's trying to like
- 47:35get through the interview
- 47:36and Hackenbrook is just oblivious.
- 47:39to the drama that's going on in the sport.
- 47:42Yeah.
- 47:43Which is fine.
- 47:44It just,
- 47:45you could tell China was very
- 47:46uncomfortable.
- 47:47She should have just said, I think,
- 47:49I think there's a little
- 47:52bit of a tiff there.
- 47:54So I was watching one of the
- 47:56recaps from Savan and
- 47:59someone brought up that
- 48:00Peter brought up that
- 48:02situation when Josh was on
- 48:03the desk and Josh like
- 48:06slammed Peter down for bringing it up.
- 48:11so I don't yeah and I would
- 48:13I did not witness that
- 48:14piece so I do not know if
- 48:15that is true that was just
- 48:17reported um on a wrap-up
- 48:20from savan so I don't even
- 48:21know if that really
- 48:22happened or or what but
- 48:26yeah overall that's been
- 48:28really fun to watch miko
- 48:30salo is not the best color
- 48:31commentator he does not speak much
- 48:35He's probably watching and
- 48:37like curious and then
- 48:39forgets to speak up.
- 48:41Yeah.
- 48:41I just don't think it's his thing.
- 48:42Right.
- 48:44Right.
- 48:44English is not his, his first language.
- 48:50And I love Nico.
- 48:51Like he is a great dude.
- 48:52I've met,
- 48:53I met him at rogue in twenty one
- 48:56and he actually chatted with me.
- 48:58He's a great person.
- 48:58I just think like he shined
- 49:00from the camera and yeah.
- 49:05I wish Pat would have asked
- 49:07him more direct questions.
- 49:10Cause there is this like
- 49:11legend of Miko kind of thing.
- 49:14If you're an OG CrossFitter
- 49:15that people like to hear.
- 49:19After doing Miko's triangle.
- 49:20I'm not a fan of that guy.
- 49:24They did ask the question of the machines.
- 49:26China brought this up.
- 49:28Love, like, or hate.
- 49:31And it was the SkiErg rower echo bike.
- 49:38And Miko said the SkiErg.
- 49:41He loves the other two.
- 49:42Okay.
- 49:45Hackenbrook said get rid of the rower.
- 49:46Oh, my gosh.
- 49:49He said, I used to love it,
- 49:51but the older I get, the less I like it.
- 49:56I could see that.
- 49:57And China said the marathon
- 49:58row ruined her forever on the road.
- 49:59I could see that.
- 50:04So,
- 50:04but those are kind of the conversations
- 50:06they have.
- 50:07And Margo did, or not Margo,
- 50:09but China did talk about
- 50:10the marathon row and people
- 50:12were like Hackenbrook and
- 50:14Mika who were before that time were like,
- 50:16how bad was it?
- 50:17Like the half marathon was bad.
- 50:20Right.
- 50:21Like, and they're,
- 50:22they're like really
- 50:23interested in what pace did you hold?
- 50:26And she's like two fourteen.
- 50:27They're like, no way.
- 50:28Oh, that's awesome.
- 50:35So it was really, it was really fun.
- 50:37Um, watching that.
- 50:38Um, and I really highly recommend it.
- 50:40It's twenty five bucks.
- 50:41I mean,
- 50:43it's a movie with you and your wife
- 50:45or you and your husband or whatever.
- 50:48Um,
- 50:50and it's great and it's
- 50:52entertaining so um tomorrow
- 50:58we have do we know what the
- 51:00events are tomorrow we
- 51:01don't know six right I
- 51:06don't have these pulled up
- 51:11um I know corey sent me
- 51:12them the other day well I
- 51:14have it in heat one duh
- 51:16Four is the hunting haggis,
- 51:18thousand meter row, thirty thrusters,
- 51:21thirty or twenty log muscle ups.
- 51:24I'm very happy that they adjusted that.
- 51:28Thirty thrusters, thousand meter row,
- 51:30so back up.
- 51:31And then... We have devil's tail,
- 51:35three rope climbs, twenty-one single arms,
- 51:37sear bell, devil's press,
- 51:40three rope climbs, twenty-one single arms,
- 51:42sear bell, devil's press,
- 51:43three rope climbs.
- 51:46And that is a one hundred
- 51:47seventy pound one hundred for the men,
- 51:50seventy for the women.
- 51:51Yeah.
- 51:52That's going to be like a clean and jerk.
- 51:56And it's it's that thick.
- 51:59Yeah.
- 51:59Rounded bell.
- 52:00Yeah.
- 52:01A candle.
- 52:02Yep.
- 52:04So.
- 52:07So, yeah,
- 52:07that's event two and or event
- 52:10five and then six, we do not know.
- 52:14so any thoughts on those two
- 52:16workouts tomorrow I love
- 52:19the hunting haggis I mean I
- 52:20like them both but I I
- 52:22think I think this one's
- 52:27going to actually be a
- 52:28better race for the women
- 52:30um seems appropriate I'm
- 52:33glad they put that to
- 52:34twenty um because that one
- 52:36year I feel like no no
- 52:37women finished you know it
- 52:39was just silly um
- 52:44I think it'll still be
- 52:45another good race between
- 52:46Gabby and Laura.
- 52:51Yeah.
- 52:51I don't know.
- 52:51I like that one.
- 52:52So hunting, I guess, other than Tia,
- 52:55who wins?
- 53:05Second place girl?
- 53:07Yep.
- 53:13I don't know.
- 53:14I think I think I normally
- 53:19would pick like some of me like Ariel.
- 53:21She doesn't seem like she
- 53:22has quite the fire.
- 53:25She's in fifth place.
- 53:27Yeah, I know.
- 53:27I just feel like I don't know.
- 53:30I think she's I think she
- 53:31looks better here than she
- 53:32did at the games.
- 53:34before like yeah it all
- 53:35crumbled apart but yeah um
- 53:39I think this is a laura
- 53:40event she's a killer on the
- 53:41rower yeah that's two
- 53:43thousand meters of rowing I
- 53:47think it's gonna be I think
- 53:48it's gonna be close again
- 53:49there between gabby and
- 53:50laura but yeah laura will
- 53:52probably be second to tia
- 53:55I'm just hope I guess I'm
- 53:56hoping gabby can hang in there
- 54:00Um,
- 54:00and then the three rope climbs and the
- 54:02devil's press over and over again.
- 54:05I mean,
- 54:05I think Laura's going to crush that one.
- 54:11Unfortunately, like, yeah,
- 54:13it's regular rope climbs.
- 54:15Yeah.
- 54:15Which everyone's pretty
- 54:17great at regular rope climbs.
- 54:20Who else can,
- 54:21who else is going to move
- 54:22that dumbbell fast?
- 54:24Taylor Williamson.
- 54:25Yes, she will.
- 54:27And she's tall.
- 54:29Yeah.
- 54:29That should be a good workout for her.
- 54:32I didn't realize she was as
- 54:35slow as she is.
- 54:36I did not expect her to be
- 54:37that far back into that one.
- 54:40Yeah.
- 54:40I, she's, her running is not good.
- 54:43I did.
- 54:43I guess I didn't realize it was that bad.
- 54:47So then for the men,
- 54:48any thoughts on the row thruster?
- 54:52Um, I mean, I think,
- 54:53I think Pat is going to do
- 54:55great at that one.
- 54:59He's my pick.
- 55:01Second?
- 55:08I don't know.
- 55:09Maybe Ricky.
- 55:09Yeah, my dark horse is Hoppa Linen.
- 55:15Okay.
- 55:18It just seems to be one of
- 55:19those sneaky workouts he's
- 55:21really good at.
- 55:25I guess I don't know how his...
- 55:27log muscle ups will be.
- 55:31Well, he's just, he's taller.
- 55:32He's probably got bigger hands.
- 55:33Yup.
- 55:34Yup.
- 55:34Um, that's, that was my only thought.
- 55:39Yup.
- 55:41And then on the other one,
- 55:45that just seems like a Jeff
- 55:46Adler type workout to me.
- 55:48Yeah.
- 55:48I mean,
- 55:49we know he's so good at like
- 55:50cleaning jerks,
- 55:51which is probably how
- 55:52you're going to handle that dumbbell.
- 55:54And he's good at rope climbs.
- 55:57Yeah.
- 55:58Brent will do great at it.
- 56:02That's a heavy dumbbell for Brent.
- 56:05Yeah.
- 56:06Last events where he drops the, the,
- 56:09the launch or he drops the
- 56:10overhead position on something.
- 56:13Um, but that it's not the last event yet.
- 56:15So, yeah.
- 56:17You think,
- 56:18you think Hopper will do well at
- 56:19that one or do you think it's too heavy?
- 56:23I think Hopper will do fine.
- 56:25Hopper looks really good.
- 56:26He does.
- 56:27But he has never been good
- 56:30at the log muscle-up.
- 56:31Yeah.
- 56:32So I think he's going to
- 56:34have a bad event four.
- 56:37So either he's going to come
- 56:38out and need this one,
- 56:39or hopefully it doesn't get to his head.
- 56:44He has always been very bad
- 56:46at the log muscle-up.
- 56:49Well, maybe he got one to practice on.
- 56:52Yeah,
- 56:53JR probably has three of them in his
- 56:54turnover.
- 56:55Probably did.
- 56:56He might be a whole new man.
- 56:58Maybe.
- 57:01All right, well, that should be fun.
- 57:02I don't even have my picks
- 57:03in yet for Heat One on that,
- 57:04so I'll have to get those in tonight.
- 57:06Because I am not in seventh.
- 57:10I'm in like three hundred.
- 57:12I'm in like two hundred, so.
- 57:15I only missed on one bad pick, too.
- 57:17Like everybody else I had was top four.
- 57:20I know I don't feel like I did terrible,
- 57:22but I don't know.
- 57:23Whatever.
- 57:27I picked Maddie Sturt in the back squat.
- 57:29I thought she,
- 57:30with her lower range of motion,
- 57:31and I know she's pretty strong for size,
- 57:33I thought she'd move faster at that.
- 57:35So that one hurt me a little bit.
- 57:38And I picked Valner in the
- 57:40ring muscle-up one.
- 57:43Not where I thought he'd be.
- 57:45So those two hurt me.
- 57:49Yeah, I picked Pat in the squat handstand.
- 57:56He came in fourth or fifth.
- 57:58Did he?
- 58:00I think.
- 58:02It wasn't bad, but it wasn't like seventh.
- 58:06Sorry.
- 58:07Came in seventh.
- 58:09It was his best finish of the day.
- 58:14But that's not saying a whole lot.
- 58:15Yeah.
- 58:15Yeah.
- 58:19So, uh,
- 58:23Kenneth asks if we saw the trailer
- 58:24for the game stock.
- 58:26I did.
- 58:27And it actually does look good.
- 58:28Yeah.
- 58:30And it looks like more
- 58:31people than they've been
- 58:32doing lately in one.
- 58:34So I don't know.
- 58:40I'll probably end up buying
- 58:41the damn thing.
- 58:42Um, I do every year,
- 58:44but I feel like I'm principal.
- 58:46I can't, I,
- 58:48I'm just gonna wait until it
- 58:49comes out I I usually I
- 58:56used to wait until they did
- 58:57like the like holiday
- 58:59special we'll sell it for
- 59:02four bucks or something
- 59:03like that um I don't know
- 59:09I'm not even sure it's
- 59:10really going to come out on
- 59:11the date they said this time so um
- 59:19Uh, but yeah, I like,
- 59:22the only thing is if I
- 59:23bought it on Amazon,
- 59:24then it's in like my little,
- 59:25like little queue that when
- 59:26I fly somewhere,
- 59:28I can download it into my
- 59:29phone and I can watch them
- 59:31on the plane as I'm going
- 59:33to a CrossFit event.
- 59:33And it kind of helps me get
- 59:36my mind right going in.
- 59:38But, yeah, I don't know.
- 59:41We'll see.
- 59:42That makes me think of
- 59:44Rolo's Mean for Time little
- 59:47Instagram post that he put up.
- 59:49Did you see it?
- 59:49No.
- 59:51Oh, because he was in the...
- 59:54I guess I don't know if all
- 59:56the seats are like that,
- 59:57but he was in the big seat,
- 59:58like the lay down seat.
- 59:59And he was doing like mini
- 1:00:01shuttle runs in the lane,
- 1:00:03doing pushups on the bed.
- 1:00:05And then in one of the scenes,
- 1:00:07he's like scrolling through the TV.
- 1:00:08He's like,
- 1:00:09you gotta get the fittest on here.
- 1:00:13It was a really good meme.
- 1:00:15I liked it.
- 1:00:17He's really good at those.
- 1:00:18Yeah.
- 1:00:20He had one out today with Jason CF,
- 1:00:25like commentating his bad reps.
- 1:00:30It's pretty good.
- 1:00:32Cause I like Jason a lot too.
- 1:00:34So it was cool seeing that, but.
