The following program is a collection of dudes talking
about the happenings in the CrossFit world.
It is meant to be comedic, informative.
The opinions, especially those of JY, do not necessarily
reflect the beliefs of others on the show.
If you take things out of context, please reconsider
watching. Enjoy the show.
Alan, drink your Ovaltine. It has vitamins and minerals.
Do I have to? It's got a new chocolatey taste
I can't get. Over Ovaltine.
It's so delicious. Now it tastes fantastic.
Wow, it's a whole. New Team I.
Can't get over Ovaltine. I can't get Ovaltine.
The whole new taste you won't get over.
Also available in Sugar Free. Welcome to the Spin brand new
sponsor Ovaltine. Are they seriously a sponsor?
No. I'm trying, I'm trying.
Maybe this will push them over the edge on the Internet.
That is wild that you found that commercial I love.
How calm and like nostalgic those old.
Makes me feel good, doesn't it? Yeah.
And I don't know if y'all saw this sugar free.
It was, yeah. Yeah, what is malt?
I don't know, it tastes good. Welcome, November 6th.
We are two days away from, well, less than two days away from the
start of the 2024 Rogue Invitational.
We're going to get all into that, along with some.
Are we allowed to? Say that.
Are we allowed to say that? Yeah, we're going to share it.
OK, Yeah. Before that, though, couple
couple things here. First, some breaking news.
Sponsored by Zen. Laserjukic The medical
examiner's case has been updated.
Manner of death is declared an accident.
Here to hear first. There it is.
Yeah. It was.
Somebody did not hold him down and drown him.
I I don't know what else that says, but it has been updated.
It's been sitting out there and pending for the last what, 2 1/2
months. So yeah, I've heard stuff's
coming out soon, but no, October 7th came and went and you never
know, so. Missed that one.
Yeah, we missed it, but hey, we got we got another time.
Get that? All right, So yeah, we're gonna
go through some viewer comments. If you are not subscribing that,
now is the time to hit the subscribe button.
If you're watching on delay, throw down a comment out there.
We will pick it up next week. That's terrible viewer comments.
PFD. Yeah, the PFT commoner at Kathy
Stan, the issue with having a bunch of competitions to gain
points from is that once Australians are a disadvantage
to the distance and cost to travel all these comps.
So basically if you're from Australia, you're screwed
because you can go to Down Under.
I guess maybe Taurian at some point if there was a long term
season and. That's it and.
That's it. Otherwise, you're traveling
across the globe to compete. That's why I think you have to
like the open has to remain away.
Worldwide. Yeah, that well has to be a part
of it. You want to be part of the
qualification process. It doesn't have to be the whole
thing, but it has to be a part of it.
What if there were multiple leagues that were around the
world? So there's an Oceana.
League an Oceana league. There was a European league, a
North American league. And they find their own.
And they find enough to go to the World Championship at some
point. That'd be cool, yeah.
You can make it work. Something like that.
That's another show. Though it would give brands
abilities to like go overseas and like because most of the
brands just pull wherever they are.
But if if you have several events throughout the year, you
could go to Australia or you could go to Europe and sponsor
those events. Yeah, yeah, as John said that
that's time for another another show.
We have a lot of going on with the rogue predictions at Jar Jar
Loves CrossFit. Here's an unpopular opinion.
Get rid of the Masters Games beyond 35 to 39.
I am old. Jar Jar is.
I guess I am too and still don't want to watch a bunch of my
peers workout. Get rid of the Masters.
I read that comment this week. I was like damn.
That's because you hate yourself doesn't mean everybody hates
yourself, OK? At Nathan Wilson, What's that I.
Mean like it's low hanging fruit.
They want to play, give them something to do.
I agree. Yeah.
Doesn't need to be doesn't need to be sponsored by the CrossFit
team. This is that this is part where
like I can't remember who I was talking or who was talking about
it. But like if CrossFit is the main
sponsor of like different, like you were saying, like the
worldwide leagues, like that's a cool stamp.
And I think like they should have that stamp on the on the on
the masters, But should they pour a bunch of resources into
it? I don't think so.
And I think that's essentially what they did this year anyway.
Yeah, I mean, to some degree, like letting Legends run it and
whatever, they just go to the Legends and Legends is now
running the Masters CrossFit Games and it's running the
Legends Championship. So I can just run one of them
and just say, hey, that's the championship.
CrossFit sponsors, it could do that.
I don't know. Yeah, at Nathan Wilson spin hit
the nail on the head. No one is obligated to compete
and there are plenty of people who need to take other
medications and then can't compete because of it.
If you need TRT then go for it, but then you're just not allowed
to compete in sanctioned CrossFit events.
You read this. This was self-serving that you
read this. 100% self-serving. 100% self-serving.
Tyler, your mic is quiet. You need to fix it.
Again. Or am I just too far away?
I. Feel like it's loud?
Just turn sensitive. Yeah, dude.
I don't know. All right, We got a long one
here from Kyle Dotson. He's very passionate about this.
I don't think I don't think John will like it, but I think you
could use the open as you have to place in this percentage in
order to have your pro card eligibility.
Then for the CrossFit game season you have three to four
majors. These are three day comps worth
a lot of points. Then have 5 to 10 regular comps.
These are one day comps with three to five workouts and worth
non major points. Then have a leaderboard top
whatever goes to the playoffs. Have a one weekend competition
to cut the field down to the games field and all this is
structured week to week. Have one to two bye weeks in the
season and one week between semifinals in the games.
Crossfit's only hand in these are the rules they have to play
by and each event gets to has so much money from CrossFit for
financial support and then they set a prize first for the major
events, weekly competitions. That's a little much.
Also. All this.
Body can't hold up to that like. First furious Iskandarani dollar
dollar 99 in pounds for Tyler's jaundice treatment.
I can't help you guys. It's I'm really just pale.
This camera freaks with my my tent.
You got that? Got that yellow hotel light?
Yeah. No, I, I guess, yeah, weekly is
never going to work. I guess that would be so hard on
the athletes, but what about one day competitions daily?
Through weekly, we're going daily I I played with this idea
because we have this. Hey Tyler, turn off to the
automatic adjustment. I think that might be what's.
Going yeah, you're, you're going like it's a roller.
Coaster. Yeah.
And then like you can hear your background sometimes and like
sometimes you can't. I might just go to the regular
mic. That's on the.
Computer, No, just turn off the
just off, turn off the adjustment.
Yeah, you're good. It's it's it's, it's better, but
like you just kind of like. OK, go ahead, fill.
Fill some time keeping it real. I'll fill it with $1.99 Tyler to
go get to Tyler to go to Face Barber, something like that.
Work on your English. Let me know.
Kippen. I.
Am I better now? Tell me I'm better.
Jesus. For now.
For now, it's a. Horizon, yeah.
I I shaved, I was shaving this stuff off.
And then you know how you kind of work to the middle and then
you're like, let's just see what happens.
I got there and I was like, let's go with it for like a
week. And then I look up and Chase has
got like the full stash and I was like, I don't know, looks
like I ripped Chase off. As much as Jeff complaints, he's
also doing it 20 bucks, so he's on our good side for at least
tonight or for now. Here's a little taste of my
Bitcoin money. Thank you, Trump, to get Tyler
some new audio equipment. Speaking of that, when it comes
to Rogue Invitational, the price person jumped up $35,000 last
night when the Bitcoin price spiked over $75,000 as Trump was
leading the polling last night. So all of the CrossFit strongman
and strong women are going to get a little bit richer because
of Donald Trump last night. So.
Listen, I'm traveling this week. I don't have all my equipment.
Couldn't the mic is not easy to travel with, so I left it at
home. But shout out to Rocky Top
CrossFit. I stopped in there today.
They have a huge facility. I don't know if you guys saw
that. It.
Is massive, really nice space that people were really
welcoming. Every time I come to Knoxville,
I've been to 1 Valley, which is Chase Hills.
Used to be on Mayhem's team. It's his gym.
He's got a super great gym. There's a bunch of great gyms
around here. Yeah, I've, I've seen photos of
that. I think was, I can't remember if
I've seen Eamon, Eamon coined out there, been out there.
Before who's the weightlifter John from what's?
He's from Tennessee. He's he's no Wes kids.
Wes trains at One Valley. OK.
Oh. That's cool, yeah.
I didn't know that. All right, now it's time Rogue
Invitational. We're going to do something a
little bit different this time, John.
We'll get to your picks here at the end after we do all the
overall, but we're going to go event by event and we are going
to do it in a way where we're going to pick the top three,
three dark horses and a bottom three.
They cannot repeat, so you have to pick.
We can all pick. Tia SO.
So like like the top three say spin, you have first pick, you
pick Tia and then I'm going to pick probably 2nd place and then
Tyler picks 3rd place and then we'll rotate, right?
So OK, so you're only picking one person picking.
One person. It's our combined list.
Dark horse or we all have a separate dark horse as well?
Are we just going to agree on one Dark?
You get, you get one pick. So if somebody's, if I call Tia
to win Event 1, you can't pick Tia anywhere else.
Gotcha. Which I would hope you wouldn't.
Dark Horse is not somebody you would expect.
So on the men's side, don't put Brent Bukowski down there if you
pick Adler to win somebody that you just would not expect.
All of this, though, is better. Than.
Yeah, yeah, all of this is to help you in the heat one
competition of Rogue Invitational, which is live
right now. You can go sign up and enter
into the shot caller and the. Top We don't get anything this
time, Tyler. We're working on that.
You'll have to pick a male, a female, and a flex pick.
The flex pick always confuses 7. That's just another athlete you
think will do well. It's the open pick.
It's anybody. Anybody in the field?
Yeah, I I really do wish that we had the last place or like the
bottom three or something, but I don't know.
I go back and forth on. Just I would just say last
place. So, so my my, what I proposed
the Tyler this week was you pick four people, 1 male, one female,
you get their points. So you want them to be first and
then there's one male, one female that are going to get
last place. And you get the inverse of their
and you. Lose points based on how many
they get. So if they get last place, you
lose five points. If they get first place, you
lose 100. Hopefully.
Dear God if you picked that. So but. 9595 points is like the
best you can do. You would imagine that you're
going to pick last place out of the first heat or maybe say heat
1. So it would actually make you be
more interested in that first heat because now you're hoping
for Tyler's trash. I I really think and and we have
a segment called. Tyler's trash.
Dude, I know. Oh man, it fits so perfectly.
I listen. I don't think it's mean if
everybody expects it like if we have a running event, if we have
a running event and they say John 73% picked you to be last
place, I'm like it makes it makes sense.
Maybe I could? Put it in there as an event and
just say Tyler's trash and then you just pick overall who you
think will get last. Idea I think it has to be a part
of the real deal. It take it takes skill to pick
the last place person and Tyler listen, I do think I am the best
CrossFit analyst in the world. You are better than me at that.
You are better than me at this aspect.
You know who's going to suck better than anybody else?
I mean, we tried doing that a little bit during the spin cast
of the games. And you, and you've destroyed
everybody. You picked the worst mile time
on the dot. Tyler.
Show the world your skill bro. That was good.
I was my favorite moment of the games.
It was one of my is my favorite moment of the games.
Keeping it real 499 Keeping it Grant is blocked by Jeff.
This is to tell him I still hate him, but Jesus loves you.
Oh, Jesus. Grant also did 333 today.
It did not go well, so. 333 is hard.
Yeah, he's not very good at double enters.
I think that's yeah, if you if you suck at double enters,
you're screwed going in. I got some information though on
quickstand so here it is. Only the athletes and coaches
know this. 10 rounds. Run sandbag carry on a 400
meter. Run the 400.
Real quick, real quick, Jamie, I hope you're listening because
you can break this on Clydesdale.
He won't know what hit him. Go ahead.
Yeah, Jamie can can shock the world.
It is 10 rounds, right? Sandbag carry and a 400 meter
run. The 400 meter run the 1st 4
rounds, you have a sandbag. A rock right On a sandbag, you
have a rock. Probably 3020. 20 lbs for the
women, I believe it's going to be 30 for the men.
After that, the last six or six of the rounds, I don't, I don't
think they're alternating. I'm pretty sure it's the first
four than the last six. There's no rock, so you just
drop that off. The sandbag carry is basically
every different type of rogue sandbag carrying implement you
can think of. So they vary in weights from
like 50 lbs to 150 for the women.
I don't know what the men is maybe 75 to 200.
But they have the the Jerry bag can things.
They have everything. Sarah Cooper.
We got people, Sarah. Yeah, people tell us things.
Plants. We have people inside the
machine. Always remember October 7th. 5th
of November. So yeah, they're going to
basically carry every every different type.
They have the the strongman sandbags they got.
What else do they have? The Jerry bag.
The Jerry can bags just a. Regular sandbags.
They have that same one where they dragged it last year on the
the first one where they dragged the bag.
I love events like this, like as a competitor, they're so much
fun. And, and I believe you can.
It's not you just take whatever bag you want each round.
And that is going to throw a that's going to it's, that's
going to be really fun. Do you pick the Jerry bags to
get an early lead or do you pick the 200 LB sandbag that's going
to take the longest to go from that on that very first one, you
know what I'm saying? Like, I think that's going to
throw a little bit of a cog into the system.
I think you start like work heavy in the middle and then go
light again. Like I think it depends on where
you are in the rankings. I did too.
Like if you're if you're Jeff and Ricky and you're out in the
lead, I almost think it's better just to go to the Jerry bags and
get so much of A lead. People can't catch you.
But I like coming back to it, letting them catch up to you.
You know, you're still faster than them.
You could still pace off of them if they do get ahead of you.
If you're so far ahead, you have to, you have to then like push
yourself to run. But you make people quit and
then people get people get in their little pockets and they
don't try to catch it. They still will.
Well, maybe. I they don't though, dude, every
single running event there's always like the four best
runners get in a little pocket and then there's like a big gap
and then there's a like a six people pocket and there's a big
gap. Like people get in their little
pockets and they stay there and then everybody pushes the last
five minutes. That's what happens in almost
every single running event. I see.
It I can see it, I also could see where the sandbag doesn't
really matter. I hope it does.
I hope, I hope the elements are heavy enough that it does
matter. I, I, I don't want it to be just
a running event. I also could see the case for
doing the the heaviest thing first.
You know what I mean? Like, and then just go heaviest
to lightest. But it will be fun to see the
different strategies and I just hope the different strategies
fair out different results. I think it would be really cool
just to see who's the smartest, right?
Like, I mean, obviously the best run, who's the smartest of the
best runners, right? But I, you know, I hope it bears
out like that and it's not just obvious.
And the best runners is 1 to 20. That's what happened.
You know what I mean? Right.
All right. We're going to go through this.
I want to mix it up. You can.
When it's your turn, you can pick any of the three.
Are we snake style in it? Yes.
OK, sweet. All right.
I guess I'll go first since it's my show and I can choose event
one. Event one, I'm going to pick top
three. I'm picking Tia clear to me.
Shocking. I know, I know.
Hey. Hey.
I don't think we. I don't.
I think we should keep it. We all do.
Top three, dark horse and bottom three.
Yeah. Because if we just go all the
way around, I like that. It doesn't give us, you know
what I mean? I like you got that way.
You have to think on your feet. You can't just have something in
mind, you know what I mean? So you're saying spin goes all
three and then I go? No, no, no, no.
No, no, you have to say and that says.
Top three, you do your top three and I'll do my top three, but it
changes every time. Like next time you get first
pick Tyler. Gotcha, gotcha, gotcha.
And then we'll go all to go Dark Horse and then we'll all go
bottom 3. OK, Tyler.
I have Gabby. She took second in the run last
year. Yeah, she's got long arms.
That's going to help with the any sort of sandbag.
I like her. So just so you guys know, and
I'll release these the day of, but I have like a top three for
every event and all that stuff too, which I guess I'll say it
all on today and Chevron. So but but for for everybody,
I'll be releasing the day of. This is my one and two who I
think will be the top 2, but my third one bit of a dark horse,
but I have her third place. So I'm.
Not. Yeah, double dark horse.
I got Brooke Wells. I like that pick.
You're third place. I do.
I think if the four, the breaking it up in 400 meters
helps her. She has shown that she is worked
on her running a lot. And yes, somebody like Emily is
a far better runner. It would not shock me if Emily
does get second place. It wouldn't shock me.
But the fact that you have all of the sandbag implements and
you have to run with the ruck, that showed to her Emily.
I mean freaking Laura Horvath being Emily, you know what I
mean? With a heavy enough back.
So I think somebody like Brooke could upset her and and I think
the breaking it up helps. If it was 2 miles, you got to
run. I'm picking Emily all day.
But the fact that you have to break it up and then rerun
again, I think that helps Brooke.
I wouldn't put it on heat one. If you're picking the top three
on heat one, I'd probably still pick Emily.
Emily's just safer. I mean, she is like Emily's not
going to do bad in this workout. She's just not but.
If the sand, if the sandbags are a big issue, like if they truly
are difficult, Brooke I think has.
That's where and I'm. Hanging in there, close enough.
I'm just calling the upset, I'm calling the upside on her and
I'm going to go Brooke. I don't hate this pic I I do
worry she I feel like she has exposure on the sandbag and that
like if something goes wrong I could see it going very wrong
for Brooke. But if she doesn't have that
happen, she'll be a great pick I.
Don't, I don't think anything's going to stop them in their
their tracks. I think it's going to be more of
like, does it take a few extra seconds each time and then slow
you down a little bit on each run cumulatively?
I mean, it's 2 1/2 miles of running if it's exactly 400
meters. So it's a decent run.
But if you watch it, if you watch Emily's runs, Emily is
never out out in the lead in the beginning and like it's always T
and Haley and then even Gabby's ahead.
And then Emily just kind of with their pace always catches up and
ends up getting them in the end or being right there with them.
But Emily always catches up to them.
She's a pace person. Like she doesn't come out hot
ever. Like I really think the 400
meters hurts her, you know what I mean?
If it was a anything longer, like she, she's the probably the
best runner period. But like just running.
But she paces everything and like the 400 meters, like go
watch every running event. She's always coming from behind
and then get and then she's with them.
But they're always in the lead. 1st.
Like and I think this, I don't think that bodes well for the
workout like this. Yeah, Tyler.
Dark horse Dark. Oh, so this is what?
OK, got it. My dark horse for this is going
to be Bethany Flores. She's not in it.
Oh. But great job, great for this
podcast if. She if she finishes.
Time is prepared like nobody else.
Man, that's. My that's why she's going to be
a dark horse. She's going to show up tomorrow
night and be like, guess what? I'm here then Ariel Ariel's my
dark horse for this. Whoops, I need to check to make
sure I didn't put her in for anything else.
It's still better than South America, South Africa.
So, John. My dark horse is Maddie Sturt.
I I thought long and hard about Maddie.
No, don't talk about it, Tyler. I did.
I don't know why I picked Bethany.
She was her third choice, his his third choice after Bethany.
Thank you for leaving my choice, that is Paige Samenza.
Wow, really? OK.
I thought you were going to pick Danielle Brandon.
I don't know if Danielle's a dark horse.
Personally, nobody picked Hayley Adams.
But I think that kind of goes back to my point of like,
they're not dark horse. They're not really a dark horse
like you expect, you expect Danielle, you expect Hayley.
Again, like those are probably top five, top 6.
I think if you look at at the dark horse list, these are ones
that probably would be overlooked in most cases and
have the opportunity have the ability to possibly break into
that top five. Rolf was on my dark horse list,
but that's because she's like a second tier pick more so than an
actual dark horse. Right.
Yeah, I got you. Yeah.
So I, Haley, Emily, Danielle are all expected to beat these
women. But yeah.
It's not a dark horse. Yeah, they could.
They could be one of them. John Bottom 3.
Oh, I'm the first one. Well, I'm taking who I think is
going to be last place, and that is the one and only Danny
Spiegel. That's like, it's like it's
obvious as me getting Tia to pick to win this first one.
So you don't think you don't think the sorry spent the the
implements the the sandbags and all the different things they
have to carry. I think that that plays to her
favor. But you don't think it's going
to be? Enough of an impediment.
I think she's. That much slower than everybody
else. And here's the thing.
Here's the thing. Who is she in battle for for
last place? Like who?
Who, who like are in the bottom right.
Right, you're getting ready to find.
Out. We're going to talk about it.
She's slower than those women. Probably, but it'll be close
because I'm picking Dana Perrin. Sorry, Dana.
And, and, and so and whoever you pick, Tyler, you'll notice all
three of these women, they're all strong too.
It's not like they're slow and not strong, you know what I
mean? Like like the sandbag implements
build well for all of them as far as that type of stuff.
It'll be very exciting near the back for this one.
And I'm going to go with Manon Agoniste.
Also a good pick. She's strong, but I don't.
I Generally if you're strong, it tells me you're strong.
Yeah, I think Bethany will finish worse than all these
women, to be honest. Yeah, I would.
Have put her bottom 3 for sure. There you go, Sydney Wells,
you're fine. Mid.
Mid Mid. All right, men.
Tyler, your turn. Top three, David is just burning
me up about that comment that I made that that Kamala is going
to win the election. When did you say that?
I said it on sale on show one night as like a hedge in case
there was some tomfoolery going on.
That's correct. But anyway, top three event 2,
event one event 100, this is the man Gotcha gotcha.
Gotcha. Sorry, let's go a little faster.
We can we can move a little faster on.
This you're the one digging into the pics.
Let's go, Jason Hopper. OK.
Your Emmy, he's a great runner. And I don't I don't dislike him.
I think that I think if, if you're a big boy and you can
run, which a lot of the big boys in this field can, you're,
you're stoked. Yeah, you're right.
I'm going to pick not one of those big boys.
I'm going to go with Jeff. Adam, it's.
A good pick. And then I I'm I'm willing to
bet Smith picks a smaller boy than that.
I'm going to pick Ricky Gerard. I understand the Ricky pick, but
I just think I, I don't, I think the big boys take this.
Oh, no shot, but I'm going to tell you something.
I do have Jason in 3rd place. All right.
At least we're in 3rd. We're in top three.
Maybe, depends on how James lungs they're doing.
I want James to win this event because the rest of the weekend
is not going to go good at all. And it would just be so great if
it's like, you know, he's finished man in the world, but
nobody wants to give him anything, any credit.
So if he were to win this first event, it's the only, it's his
best shot. He's not going to be good at
anything else. Literally nothing else he's
going to be good at. It would be amazing when the 1st
event, you know, you know what I'm saying?
Like it would just. But all right, I.
Would I would kill? And so this is a prop that we're
going to have in heat one because James is essentially an
unknown right now. So does he get top five, six to
10 or 11 to 15? I don't think he's going to get
bottom 5. With the with the money, you
should put it in there. Right that that's.
Oh, you think Autumn 5 should be an option?
No, no, I'm just. I I don't think so without
pneumonia, but just because of the having pneumonia.
I mean, he hadn't trained for a week prior.
To that I I would put that in the heat one app, I would say
James Sprague had pneumonia. Where's he finished in an event
one? Oh, you put yeah, we could do
that. What I want is for him to have a
Michael Jordan flu game where we expect the worst and he freaking
murders it. I just want it for the story of
how awesome it would be for him to have pneumonia.
It's it's not as likely in CrossFit.
I know that. But just to show how strong he
is like mentally is that he just comes out and kills it anyway.
He's already behind the 8 ball because it's Rogue.
But dude, fingers crossed James kills it this weekend.
All right, you're up for Dark next, Dark horse.
Me. Yeah, I'm going with Jay.
Crouch. All right, Jay.
Crouch. I'm going to great runner and
he's going to be good with the implements.
He he's continually grown. His stock has grown in my
opinion and this I'm going to be interested to see him in this
test. And you can tell me if this
doesn't count as a dark horse, but I'm going to go with Dallin
Pepper. I'll give it to you.
It's. A running event.
Big Boy, I think you'll be all right.
I am actually going to go with Saxon Pantryk.
I like that. I don't.
He took sixth in the lake day. Saxon is more of a dark horse
than you. Carry What'd you carry on Lake
Day? What's that?
What did you carry on Lake Day? Again, I don't think the
sandbags are going to be something that's materially
different. A heavy heart.
Tyler, you're you're sorry, bro. I'm I'm cruising for a bruising.
OK, you're up. Bottom 3, bottom 3.
You've had the two worst Lazar jokes I've ever heard in my
life. Like you, just you, and like I.
Go ahead. Jorge I have gallows humor
really bad. Jorge Fernandez.
You're just setting us up, aren't you?
All right, John. Did I take your pick?
I would hope not. No, I'm going to go Yorgos.
I thought he was a good runner. I think he's just not as fit as
everybody else. That's the problem with the
bottom 3 is like there's a general bottom 3.
Yeah, he could be a He could be a good runner.
I just think Heinrichs fit enough.
I think Sam Coway is fit enough, although Sam Coway has been
trashed at a couple running events.
He just did high rocks. He just did high rocks.
He's good. He's.
You, you know what I'm saying? Like it's just like everybody we
got. I just think they're fitter
except one guy. But I, I I have to see you are.
You guys doing this on purpose? No, I left him for you.
There. We go.
Here's my number two. Here's my number 2.
I don't. I love Gee.
I'm not going to pick against Gee.
Why did you get shots fired on at you, John?
You're getting a little scared now.
Oh no, I think he's the most overrated Crossfitter in all of
all time, really. But double S.
Down. I hate, I hate, I hate on him
too much. Though he has not earned the
hate that I have given him, other people have made me hate
him. He's he's not damaged.
Spiegel event 2 N North Sea Tiger 32 or 26 calories on the
echo bike, 16 ring muscle UPS, 8 squat snatch at 2:25 or 160 and
six shuttle sprints. The time cap on this is 8
minutes so I'm thinking the shuttle sprints are going to be
inconsequential. Very fast, so super short you
would think probably most people finish four or five minutes.
Yeah, I think this is essentially a longer version of
the last semi finals workout that they had.
Instead of the lunge, it's 8 squat snatches, which is very
different at that implement is very different than a lunch.
Right. But very different.
No, no, but like same time spread the same like you take
all the people who did really well in that.
How are they with snatching? That's how I would look at it.
How are they with those eight snatches, all the people that
did really good in that event? Because there's some people who
are good in that event that aren't that great at snatching,
right? Those people who are out, am I
first? You're first this time.
Tia. Easy enough.
Tia. That'll be two event wins.
If that was the case. I am going to go with Laura
Horvath. Just from a bike standpoint.
Squat snatch will not be hard. For her great pick.
I honestly think the. 16 ring muscles be the closest the
hardest thing for her, but she'll be fine.
I really think this is just who can cycle the snatches the best.
Not as much for the women. The win ring muscle UPS are way
more important for the women. But of all the women that are
going to be fine on the ring muscle UPS, it's just who
snatches the best. Like it's it's except for my 3rd
place, which I mean, I'll leave it to Tyler, but go ahead Tyler.
I damn it, I had a good one. And now that I realize it's
Squatch Snatch, I have to change it.
No, you. Don't.
Yeah, I do. I'm changing it to Brooke Wells.
My pick was Alex Kazan. That's you do not have to change
it, Tyler. Alex Kazan's going to get top
three in this workout. You don't think that the squat
snatch changes it for her? I do.
I do for sure. Here's here's 100.
Percent John reason was hour snatch the.
Reason why I say this, she's going to be one of three women
that go unbroken on the ring muscle UPS and that's going like
for the women, the ring muscle UPS matter a lot more.
She's going to have so much more time to do that than everybody
else. She will not have to rush
herself. If she's 3 snatches ahead of
everybody, it's OK. Like she's gonna be fine.
It's 160. It's a cyclable weight.
It's one time. It's not 30 squat snatches.
John what? What was Alex's one Rep Max and
semifinals in 2023? 170 wouldn't it?
180. 15565. Yeah, but dude, she snatched 190
on Instagram. It's not.
It's like like that's just she she hit 165 and then failed her
next two lifts. She probably went one 75180 and
it was just too much and then she failed.
If this is an 8 minute workout, she's going to be going hard on
the bike all ring muscle UPS very quickly.
It's just like running the 800 meters into the one into the one
Rep back. If anything, she's going to be
breathing harder than she was in the.
Yeah, but she'll have a 32nd gap on everybody else.
And then she'll get passed up by half the field.
I will make a bet that she gets top three in this event.
I'll take that all day long. What do you want to do?
What do? You want to.
Bet I don't know. A mile run, John, A mile run.
That's got him. That's too easy.
It's it's one event. It's it's.
Perfect 5 miles in a ruck on an air runner.
Whatever that's. Fine, I want.
To make it I. Want to make it painful for you?
That's fine. I can live with that.
All right, John. Dark Horse.
Alex Kazan. That's in that case, I'll take
it. You just said, you just said.
Y'all just told me how horrible she's going to be I think.
She's a dark horse. Yes, if you look at her one Rep,
Max Snatch, I would say it is. My fastest mile, Carla is 558
and I cried after. It's probably the greatest thing
I've ever done next to the 100 bar facing burpees.
Was it 1600 meters or was it 1 mile?
It was one mile, 4 laps around a track, whatever you want to call
that. Very dark horse.
I'm going with Amanda Barnhart. Not a bad pick I.
If her shoulder is healthy. I think that's going to be what
we say for every event with Amanda Barnhart.
Sure, but I don't think anybody's expecting it.
But she has a potential there, as good shot as any to get in
top five. I thought you were going to pick
Hayley Adams. No.
My dark horse pick is Taylor Williamson.
This is a great like it. It kind of reeks A-Team style.
She's good at all the gym stuff and then she's greatest squat
snatches. I'd love to see her in the top
five on this. John bottom 3.
By bottom 3 Emily, Rolf and listen.
Not a bad thing. You're going to have to see a
common theme here. That's all I'm going to say
next, Next, next, next. I'm going to Sydney Wells.
I know they're regular ring muscle UPS, but we saw what
happened two years ago at semifinals with the rock on.
She's probably one of the worst in the in this field of ring
muscle UPS. So even if she can do the squat
snatch faster, I don't think she has the ability to catch up.
Tyler. I'm going with Taylor Howe
because I don't know anything about her.
She's she's decently strong, man.
That's a wide. Breadth of fitness though, I, I
mean like, like we, like I said before, like there's a general
bottom 3. Yeah, I think the squat snatch,
Dana Peran actually probably can cycle those, maybe probably
faster than anybody. But can't you get through the
ring muscle UPS? I would say no to Laura, but but
other than that, yeah, Dana Peran is very, very strong.
On to the men, back to me, top three.
I am going to go with Jeff Adler.
He's not my top three in this event.
Really. Yeah, You.
You're going big. We'll see.
Tyler. No.
Why is that funny? We'll just wait till Friday to
say why that's funny. Why?
What's going? On we're not picking Tyler's
trash yet, Tyler, Like dude. This reeks of Noah.
He's going to go fast on the bike.
It reeks of them. It reeks of them.
I bet he is top three off of the ring muscle ups and then not top
three after that. It's not a heavy squat snatch
for those guys Top. Three off the ring muscle UPS.
Does anybody go unbroken on the squat snitch?
I think the match no, what are you talking about touch and go?
None of them do touch and go, not even Gee. 225 is a lot more.
You think cold coming off of 16 ring muscle UPS.
There's a lot. More than cold, cold.
It's a lot more than you think. And then especially if he's in
the top three going into the shuttle sprints, he's going to
do well in the shuttle sprints. Guys, I.
We'll see. I, I We'll see.
I think over 15 of them do the ring muscle UPS unbroken over
15. And if that's the case, if
that's the case, Noah's not going to be top three going to
the snatch because he's not not going to be top three coming off
the bike. And then it's going to be who
can cycle the 8 snatches. I think this event for the men
is completely who can cycle the 8 squad snatches the best.
My winner for this event is Gmail Heroes.
And because he's going to snatch, he's going to squat,
snatch those eight snatches faster than anybody else, and
everybody's going to do the ring muscle UPS unbroken.
This is a 4 minute workout. Dima Haros is going to win this
event. You guys.
Need to breathe the squat snatch 225 Tyler.
You need to. Breathe the new. 16 ring muscle
up, some broken. Duty out.
He ring muscle up right with Patrick Veldner in Socal.
He's good at if it's a 4 minute workout, he's fine.
You don't have to breathe for four minutes.
David Blaine held his breath for 9 minutes.
I like your plate better now, John.
I was. I missed.
I made a mistake there. Keeping it real, $2.20 bucks.
Noah takes top five John. Bet. 22 bucks turns out.
All right, Dark horse, I'm going to pick Sam Quant.
I don't dislike it. Tyler.
Yona it's a very, it's a very dark horse.
We want Justin Medeiros. I hope all of my dark horse
Dicks kill. Yeah, we're, we're gonna.
Be pulling this up during the spin cast and.
Revisiting this alright. For.
Sure. Yes, Sir, let's do it.
We'll be pulling this up, we'll be watching it just like this.
How do we follow along for? Strong women like last minute,
right? Right when they go up, we can.
You're just gonna that? 1.
Yeah, yeah, I all goes looking fierce, man.
I'm gonna rock. I get the bottom 30.
Gorgeous. Those squat snatchers are going
to stop him in his tracks for sure.
Jorge, you guys? OK, I think a lot of people are
going to be surprised with this, but when it happens, you heard
it here first. Saxon pantkick.
Really, I don't hate it. Why?
I don't he's going to be trash at this event.
Actually, I think Chandler might have a better chance of being
bottom three with the squat snatch.
Oh, just do. The it'll won't look fine, but
he'll. Be pretty but.
I think Saxon will be the last one to come off the bike and
then. Everybody.
Everybody's. Doing those 16 ring muscle UPS
unbroken. No, dude, like you think people
are going to make up ground on the ring muscle.
Everybody's doing that unbroken. If you're not like you're close,
like it's going to be like 12 and or 10:00 and 6:00 and then
it's going to be who can cycle those squat snatch.
Just Saxon's got one of the worst grips out of everybody.
I think your grip is going to feel it on the squat snatch and
go back and look at what happened at the vinyl at this
last semi final like and then I know it's he's good at squat
snatching, but then look at the semi final workout 5 when they
did all the squat snatches. It's different when you have to
cycle, you're right. And, and I just think he's going
to be behind everybody. Jorge is strong, all right?
He's not fit, but he's strong, right?
Yorgos is one of the best ringed muscle hoppers out there.
I just think I just, it's between him and Yorgos for me.
Ike, Saxon and Yorgos for last place and I picked Gorgos's last
place as how on half of these events, so I didn't want to pick
them out at last place for this. Jorge is top 10 on North Sea
Tiger What is North Sea tiger? What are you talking about?
Look at the comments. Keep keeping it real.
Jorge's top 10 on North Sea Tiger.
That's the name of the event. Like I said, what's North Sea
tire? Track.
You know what? What could benefit some of these
guys? Maybe even Chandler is a pair of
Lujanjun lifters I get. I thought you were going to say
jy more about I get. Questions that would help too.
Everywhere I go, every time I put them on, somebody asks about
them. I have the silver ones right
there. All silver look like moon shoes.
They're the best lifters I have. Tia and Danielle both wear them,
so get yours today. Code Spin Save some money.
Event 3. Braveheart, an 8642 wall walk
complex. My favorite event.
Until now you did not know what it was and then?
About, but we know now. At 375 and 260, we do know.
Hey Tyler, I'm going to do this event tomorrow and on heat one
if you want to, I think we can put a prop bet on how many
people will beat me. I think it'll be a good.
I don't hate. That what are you?
What are you looking dude? I'm.
What's What's the wall walk complex?
The wall walk complex is a wall walk into two wall facing
handstand push ups to a tape line, regular tape line.
So you'll do a wall walk 2 handstand push ups go down wall
walk 2. So in total, you'll do 20 wall
walks and 40 wall facing handstand push ups.
So not deficit, nothing crazy, just to align.
Go from there, Tyler. Top three, Jeff, we're all the
women. Damn.
It can we. This game's hard.
Can we make a compilation spin? Of me just whipping of all
these, of all these misraps. Please make a compilation.
It's. Because I put the men first and
spin's going to the women. Preparation.
This is how. This is the order of the events
on the schedule. It's always women first, men,
men second. Tia.
Decent pick. That would be three in a row.
That'd be three in a row. Mid, yeah.
Decent, John. Kazan.
Damn you. And I have hers winning this
event. That's a good pick.
Here's my number 2. That's a good one.
I am going to go with Brooke Wells, not.
Bad. Dark Horse Tyler.
Manon and Denise. Why jump or why Tyler?
I know she's strong and look at her shoulders.
Yeah, fax. I'm going to go Ariel Lowen.
There you go, man. You aren't struggling.
I am a little bit. I think there's a clear pick.
You think there's clear? Yeah, I left it for you.
Barnhart. No, Barnhart's not a bad pick.
I, I, I, she's, I mean, dark horse.
I mean, honestly. Depends on her shoulder, but.
I'll go with Danny Spiegel. That was not it.
It's been. Who were you getting?
That that was not it. Emma Tall is.
She good on good enough on the handstand push ups.
Yeah. All right.
It's OK. Honestly, I like the Barnhart
pick better than anything right now.
She's Barnhart's, very good at handstand push ups, very good.
Obviously we don't know anything with her shoulder, but.
Corey Leonard, man and Agonese is my favorite element on the
periodic table. Manganese.
Yeah, Magnesium. Yeah.
Is it my turn? Bottom.
Yes, Grant, each wall walk has two handstand push ups.
So wall walk 2 handstand push ups, that's one.
That's one. So I mean, that eight's going to
be pretty gnarly. Yes, yes, Tyler.
Bethany Flores. I'm just.
Danielle Brandon. Oh, OK.
How upset do you think? Like if she if she does get
last. I don't think she will.
I don't think she'll be fine. I think she'll be middle of the
pack all right. But if she got like last, she
would be very upset, yeah. Like but I think it would ruin
the rest of Rogue for her. I think if she does bad in any
event it would ruin the rest of the rogue for her.
I'm going to say Emily Rolf. From the back squats.
From and all man, that's your third fittest woman in the
world. And listen, there's more to
come. I don't know if I don't think
she's going to be, I don't think Laura's going to be bottom 3.
No, I don't think so. I think Laura's going to be
fine. I honestly think Laura will be.
I think Laura will be top 10. I'm going to go with Taylor Howe
because I don't know anything about her.
She could be top five or bottom 5, but she was a qualifier so
she gets that vote. How is Taylor Williams doing
handstand push ups? Not good.
She got exposed in the qualifier.
That was a one bad event. And I I text I.
Might rock with her. I text Nick and I was like hey
what the hell and he goes not good answer push ups.
You know, I, I, I think this is going to be a big, big way more
handstand push ups matter than you think.
I mean. It's only two and.
You have 8 wall walks into 16 handstand push ups the shoulder
fatigue. Like just do 8 wall walks.
It's it's bad. Do you?
Are they going to be strict about the the down portion of
the? Wall walk I.
Mean you got to go three hands out or like back back to your
starting position. Back to the line.
Yeah, I'm sure they'll have two lines.
I don't think they'll. I don't think they will.
You think they'll be able to kick out?
I think so. That makes sense too.
I wouldn't hate it if they did that from a judging perspective.
Yeah, just be faster, John Ben. So you got winning.
I have Jeff Adler winning. That's BS.
I'm thinking, I'm thinking Justin Medeiros.
He's my second place. Tyler Jason Hopper.
What? What's the laughing about?
OK. Pigs are your pigs are bad man.
All right. No, they're not.
We'll find out in 2 days. You hear that, Jason?
He doesn't believe in you. Not on this one, John.
I would die of Jason just and I don't believe in me either.
My my dark horse, Does Gee count as a dark horse?
Your what horse? Does Gee count as a dark horse?
I don't think people are thinking about him in this one.
Then I would pick Gee. Not bad, I let me go with hoping
that the wall walks are much more important.
Saxon. Don't do it.
They're not.
How do you hate Saxon? He's not good.
At what wall walks. At anything.
He's just not bad at anything either.
Who won the free the handstand push up free standing handstand
push up workout at the games those are.
Not that's a lot. That's very different.
Or wall facing or back squats in it at all.
They're wall facing. That's a free hand standing push
up. That's a skill movement as
opposed to this be being like shoulder fatigue management.
Bukowski got second. Bukowski got second.
You going to tell me if Bukowski's going to thrive in
this workout? Go ahead and. 100%.
No shot. No shot.
Tyler. I'm going with Sam.
Kwan, I would not be shocked if your dark horse beat your top
three. Nobody's beat Jason, dude.
And the bottom 3 John. He would have been helped out
with a deficit. If it was a deficit, I would
agree with you. My bottom 3, Heinrich Kapalinen.
I want to go with Georgios Karavis on this one.
I don't think the, I don't think the squats are going to be in
his favor. I think there's an obvious pick
here, Tyler. Brent.
No, that's. Not the obvious.
Pick You think Sprague's going to be better than Brent in this?
It's only two, dude. It's it's 40 you need.
That's not how you need to think about.
It the reason I say Brent is because he's not going to do
great on the back squat, but he's getting, he's too
methodical on the wall walk, he said Push up part and I think
he'll lose time. I think he's not going to get
last. I think he's not going.
To get last. Would help Brent, but.
Like I wanted to pick your ghost but should.
Go like Yep, I don't think the handstand push ups.
What's your Max back? Go up Tyler 3. 380.
OK, do this workout with 3:15 and then you tell me what the
wall walk complex did to you 'cause your hands that push up
guy. It'll do nothing to me.
I'll just do. The workout?
Do the workout complex. Do the workout.
No do the whole workout. No, but no.
But do the first eight. You have to do the wall walks
first, then you have to go and hit. 8 backs here.
I'll do it with 375, you do it with 3:15 and we'll just compare
scores. Like I'll just be like trying to
gamble on if I can hit all 8 unbroken.
Right. I mean, maybe you choose that
path, but like do the do the do that workout with 3:15, I'll do
it 375 and we'll compare scores and you tell me what the wall
walk does to you. All right, all right.
Moving on. Chase the complex.
The complex is one wall walk +2 strict handstand push ups.
That's one Rep. Yeah.
So 20 total wall walks, 40 total, 40 handstand push ups.
I think it should be much worse than people think.
Women first. Hunting haggis. 1000 meter row,
30 thrusters at £95 for the women. 20 log muscle UPS, 30
thrusters, 1000 meter row. I guess it's me isn't it?
Yep, I'm picking Ariel Lowen on this one.
Believe she was really good at the log muscle UPS the last two
years. She was in one year, she was not
in the other year. Wasn't it tied up with back
squats? Yeah, we didn't do.
That, Yeah. Which is funny, because she's
not, you know, pretty decent now, right?
Tyler. I'm going with Gabby also good
at the log ring or log muscle up.
No, she wasn't. She was.
How'd she do in that event? She was like top five for sure.
Spanking effort, that. I remember looking, that's why I
picked her. Great for radio.
John, who's your pick? I don't know.
She was 8th, 8th place. Good, good enough for me.
She's also seen him before. My pick, the other side, my pick
is Laura Horbath. The first time Tia has not been
selected as a winner. Well, I mean, she should be in,
she should be in Gabby's place. But it's fine.
My pick is Lower Horabath. You could have picked her too.
No, I can't. Nothing.
'S stopping you. Next.
Looking at Dark Horse, I don't know, I want to go Emma Tall.
You don't want to pick. Tia.
As a dark horse, yeah. She's.
Not a dark horse. OK, that's cool.
I'm going to go with Haley. Not terrible.
All right, so I think Alice Kazan's going to be great in
this event, but I'm not going to pick her.
I don't think she's a dark horse.
Amanda Barnhart is going to be my dark horse.
Amanda Barnhart has was fourth in one of the log muscle up
workouts and she was fifth in the other log muscle up workout.
She's very good at log muscle UPS.
Is it pulling stuff? That hurts her shoulder.
There's. Pulling.
Gymnastics, there's no talent. I think everything hurts her
shoulder but a rough one for. Your shoulder, Darren.
Holding a child that's hurts her shoulder.
I'm going with Sydney Wells. Anything muscle UPS, I'm going
to put Sydney near the bottom, Tyler.
DB she melted on the log muscle UPS last time.
Yeah, I'm going to go Taylor Howe and and I mostly, mostly
because. You don't know who she is.
No, no, no, no. I think if you haven't had
experience with the log muscle up that you, you see, you know,
there are people who are just naturally good at it and
naturally there are people who are naturally not good at it.
Annika Greer couldn't do one right.
Olivia Cursedeter did like 2. And like, I just think if you
haven't done it before, Taylor Williamson is long enough.
Like she'll figure. Out and big hands, like if you
have smaller hands. And Taylor Howe, is I just a
little bit on the thicker side? I just, I'm going to say, I'm
going to say that she's going to struggle with it.
That's a big factor. This weekend is going to be hand
sized too with the log ring muscle or log muscle UPS in the
seer bell. You say that Ricky doesn't have
big. Hands.
No, I thought and I thought about that and.
He might be the best log muscle upper there is.
He's also farm strong too. You can't.
He's built that over his life. Yeah, I don't think the the Seer
bell did much when it was going last year.
Yeah, I didn't. I didn't think it was that big
of a deal for the men, Tyler. For the men.
James, Break, OK. Don't want to make fun of me,
John. I.
Mean it's it's it's you're, you're bad.
Come on, James. Come on, buddy.
For the men, I'm going to go Ricky.
Ricky not bad I. Do it, do it, do it.
Oh, oh, oh, Nope, not doing it. I thought you were going to do
it. I'm.
Going to go with Jason. Oh, you didn't do it?
That's not a bad. Terrible.
That's a good pick. That's a terrible.
That's a bad. Pick That's a terrible take,
Jason How? How was he in the log muscle UPS
last year, Tyler? Did he beat you at the golf
game? Is that what this is he?
Did not beat me at the golf game.
How was he at the log muscle UPS last year?
I think he got top probably first.
No, he was bottom 2. How was he the year previous?
Probably first. What was that?
Was that event two last year? Yes, and he was 19th and it was
event two of the year previous before that too.
And guess what? He was 19th.
He was and Yoda Koski was hurt on one of those years.
Wait, he was, he was. He was last.
Place I could do what I want? He was last place out of what?
No spit? You better put Hopper back.
You picked. Him.
You picked him. We don't let we don't let Tyler
chase his picks. When they're trashed, you put
Hopper back. There, No, you won't even let me
live them down and. You, you eat.
You eat what's coming to you. All right, Jason.
Jason, you better do better. Do better.
We all know who his coach is. Maybe he's worked it and he's a
lot better now. He had a date of practice that
crash before he left. I I put it past him Jr. just to
have secret stuff laying around. He doesn't tell somebody about,
but I don't put. It like second garage to him.
He might be much improved, he might be much improved, but the
last two times he's touched that log, he was the worst freaking
person there. He.
Ain't going to me no more, dude. Chase, the sear belt does not
have a thick handle. It does.
It's not huge, but it is bigger than a standard.
Dog how you going to say he was top five when he was 19th?
Can't even do them. That was last year.
It's old Tyler. No, no, no, I'm talking.
About Tyler, I said how did he do?
And you were like top five. If you don't know, don't say it.
Just say I don't know. Because I never say anything
just to see what'll happen. John No.
You believe it. You believe it in your heart.
His name is Jason Hopper. You believe it.
Go ahead. Next Dark horse.
Yeah. Sam Corn, right?
OK. He's he's so hard to pick for.
John. Tell me if I will.
I will be OK if this does not count as a dark horse.
Justin. Or Justin.
Does Justin count as a dark horse or no?
Why would he count as a dark horse?
I'm saying, is he too good to count as a dark horse?
I don't think so. That was fine.
I'm. Going to pick Justin.
I'm picking Noah Olson. Noah Olson's a great pick, I bet
you thought. Is Noah Olson here?
Hey, better than my pick for Noah.
I bet I bet your dark horse beats your top three.
How much? You better bet.
No, I'm not. I'm.
Not thinking that my dark horse is going to be a great pick.
Top 3 is going to be hopefully a dark horse pick.
You made so much fun of Tyler. And now you're.
Tyler, He helps me off my game. Tyler Bottom 3.
Jorge 3. I actually you guys.
You guys can't pick Hopper now? Yes.
Jorge for this one is actually might not be good it.
Took my bottom three. You know, it's hilarious.
Would have picked Jorge next. Oh dude, I don't know who I'm
going to pick now give me a. Minute this might be 1 of
Jorge's better events I think if he doesn't struggle on the log
muscle that's. Kind of hold on, you said.
This is one of his better events.
I, I literally, I think, I think bottom might not be fair for
Jorge on this workout. You picked him.
You'll see. I see.
You're right about that. Oh man, I'm at a loss for words.
What? That's all it took, huh?
Now we know the trick here, buddy.
Is James been picked? Oh yeah, he's going to win it.
Oh. Goodness gracious, I'm going to
pick Saxon. I like that you can't pick him
because I picked him for first. I'm going to pick Sax and
Manchu. I'm going to go with gorgeous,
sorry. Gorgeous.
Yeah, sorry, you've never done long muscle ups and the rowing's
not going to be kind to you. No, it's probably not.
Event 5 Devil's Tail rope climbs and single arm seer bell,
Devil's Press 100 and 7570 lbs John Give.
Me. I'm sorry I.
This one should be easy. Pretty easy, yeah, yeah, yeah,
yeah. What do you want to do when
you're? Scrolling your white board here.
Yeah, I am. That's exactly what I'm doing.
I'm going to go for a bath.
Damn. You all right?
I'm thinking to you. Are you keeping track of who
we're picking because they're in different orders?
Yeah. OK.
Tyler is Dang Dang OK. Not bad.
Yeah. No, no, no, I don't hate it.
John. Emma Tall.
Very good at rope climbs. And I I think I'm willing to bet
these are either thick or 20 foot or both.
I think they're 20 foot unless they put a tape line below it
because they're going to the zoos.
So it'll be like the games. I think I am going to go with
Haley. That's a dark horse.
Yeah, that's a dark horse. Yeah, I'm going with.
Maddie Yeah, yeah. It's just nine, though.
Like, you know what I mean? It's not.
It's just. Not and it's and it's burpees.
Just who's going to move it's? Clean and jerks on the on the
seer bell. Yeah, but it's just who's going
to move that the fastest. That's that's the work.
She can move faster on the burpee part.
Can she move on the dumbbell Tyler?
I'm going with Maddie Sturt. Oh, that's a Fast and Furious
quote that was killing me. What?
Corey Leonard. Yeah.
Very first one, John, Emily, Rolf, you didn't like?
Hey hey, I'm going to tell y'all something.
We're not done. With Emily, no feared UPS man.
I'm going to go with Emma McQuaid.
That's who that was I was I was trying to figure out that
picture this entire. Time you know she's from South
Africa too. She's.
Tyler. Dana Perrin.
Why? Why Tyler?
What do you think? So you have a zero idea how good
she is. All right.
Event 60. No.
Event 5, The men. Is it me?
Back to me. Yes, maybe, I don't know.
Yeah, I think it is. Wait, no, no, no.
Tyler just picked. It's me.
Oh, 'cause I picked Laura first, right?
You're, you're upset about that? Yeah.
Oh, no, no, then no.
You picked. You picked first though.
I picked first. Then that would be you.
Yeah, you're right. That's me.
I'm sorry. I'm.
I'm excited to see if you're going to pick my pick Spin.
I know, I know Tyler won't, but I'm excited to see if you will.
Yeah. I don't know.
I don't I don't like any of these.
The event's weird. It's hard to pick for.
I tell you what, you had a strong woman that could climb a
rope. I might pick her.
Too bad we're picking dudes. I'm going to pick Velder.
Oh, you didn't do it. He, he was my second place,
Tyler. Jason Hopper.
It's the best time you pick Jason, man, you know.
What every time is going to be the best time I pick Jason?
Brent Fukowski, you. Think you can move the do the
burpees beer bells breast? Fast.
Yeah, the last, the Sierra Bell event last year, he was fourth
place. So I mean, Roman's out.
The Hopper was like 5th place. Belaner was like third place and
I forget what it was paired with, but no, I'm rolling with
Brent. Methodical might not hurt him on
this either. It might help him.
I'm going to go with Noah Olson as a dark horse, Tyler.
Once again, Sam Conray. Once again, huh?
Has anybody picked Alan for anything yet?
I picked him. As been on my list.
I picked him on the 1st event as a dark horse.
That's right, once again, Justin Medeiros.
I don't think he's a dark horse pick for this, but I'll allow
it. Thank you Tyler for allowing it.
Last place, did I say gorgeous again?
Yes, he's saying gorgeous. Not enough rope climbs?
Gorgeous is my is is my Emily Rolf Tyler Jorge.
We all have our Emily's. John.
Yeah, y'all took my bottom 2, just give me a minute.
And then I had Sam Cornwye next. While you wait for John, make
sure you go download the Heat 1 app.
As all right, this is my surprise.
No, it's my surprise. Y'all though Jay Crouch?
I had AI just think he's fit enough.
Oh I agree but you guys took my bottom 2.
That's fair. You're.
Scrambling. So like, if he's like, if he's
like 16th place, you know what I mean?
Yeah. That's that's.
Good, you know. Go download the E1 app, play
along with us. Thank you span all.
Right. We, we just want to put Max on
this one. That's how I determined it.
I just said Max. Oh, we're actually picking for
this. Yeah, like, like, OK, like here
it's been, if you allow it's been.
I think we wait until we know. Dude, we're not going to know
until the day of though. I I got you.
But like let's, let's have like a little bit of.
Let's throw it to it. You just do it with.
Tyler has a shot so like like Max, it could be weightlifting,
it could be odd object like. It's a 5, they're 5 minute
heats. There's five, there's four heats
of five. They're 5 minute heats.
They're very fast. So take that into consideration.
Tyler, you think first. Yeah, I think it's going to be
something like Atlas stones. Like it's just it's going to be
heavy. Heavy and fast.
Yeah, that was the best possible situation for me to have the
1st. Pick John I, I disagree with
you. Pick my I, I have Laura Horvath.
She's safe. Like there's no safer pick than
Tia. I think Laura we're about to
safer picked into you if it's odd object to.
You if it's a weird odd object. Danny Spiegel's probably the
best one, but. I want I think.
Laura is the best combination of odd object and Oli lifting or
like lifting with odd object. I think Laura is the best
combination of the two. Yeah, Tyler Dark Horse.
See it sucks because it's like I think Manon is like the obvious
safe pick, but it's it's she she's veering into not dark
horse pick in this context. I'll let you pick Manon as a
dark horse. All right.
Would somebody on heat one pick Manon?
No, no, real quick, do do dual three, no.
It would be dual 4. It would not be a dual because
we don't have no time for it. We don't.
Have 3 hours to go fill the stadium.
I'm glad they're not doing it too because that's sucks when
you're covering. It last last year was awful
watching that and then going into the deadlift ladder.
That would have been a lot of space to fill.
I will allow or is it Tyler or Tyler McMahon?
Let me know if you want to veto it.
OK? Alex Kazan.
Kazan yeah, I I mean, I'm not going to veto anything.
Depends on what it. Is.
Right, we don't know anything. I don't think it's guaranteed by
any stretch the odder of the object I'm picking Taylor
Williamson. Taylor Williamson was my.
I like that. My next dark horse pick.
I was actually going between between Danny and Taylor.
It depends on how weird it is. I think Taylor has a chance of
it's something even weirder. Above them all but.
It was. Fine, fair, I don't.
I couldn't choose that Tyler bottom 3 steal it.
Let's do it. Do it.
Thank you. Danielle.
Brandon, just just hand it to him, I guess.
All right. There you go.
John, I think, I think whatever this is, Danielle's going to be
great. Could be.
Good a chance to anybody. Good a chance to anyone, John, I
put I put you down for Emily. I appreciate that.
Thank you. No problem, I am going to go
with Maddie Sturt. Saving some time, Maddie, not
not Haley. That's a good pick.
No, I'm picking Maddie over under Haley.
OK, I I think they both are. Is this the only round that Dana
or Tayla won't show up? No event 9, they won't show up.
Either. Yeah, All right.
Ben, John. I got ghee.
Oh, it's a good pick. Love me some ghee, everybody
knows it. Chandler.
Risky pick Risky they're. Not they're not going to invite
him out to not let him hit a home run.
But they're not dead lifting, and that's the home run that
he's got. It all.
Depends on the Denny Stones or something like that.
In which case? You and if it's that, then I
chandler's a great pick, right? Yeah, he has a very good chance
for that. Al is a great pick if it's
Denny. Stones, if it's the Denny
Stones, yeah. Yeah, it's gonna be weird on
what it. Jason would be a good pick for
the Denny Stones. I'm actually, I was actually,
I'm going to pick Jason on this. One OK, I had Jason as my #3.
Yeah, yeah, he's got the biggest sayings.
Maybe Henrik, but he's the. Longest reach?
Who is the longest reach Henrik? Brent.
Maybe Fukowski. Or I mean maybe Sprague.
Maybe Sprague. Sprague's pretty lengthy.
Yeah, I, I think, I think. He can't even wait the same.
But no, Brent's got the longest reach honestly.
And Brent's really good with odd objects too.
Dark Horse, John. OK, it's we're going to this is
hard because we already got to I think we got to veto certain
people with their dark horse pick.
I'm going to I'm going to say Justin Medeiros.
That's my dark horse. If y'all say Brent or Dallin or
Jeff, I think that's to. I agree I.
I think that they're not dark horses.
Yeah, I, I would say Adler, Brent, Medeiros, Dallin cannot
be picked in this. Oh, you don't think Justin can?
OK, no. Well then, then I'll go.
Pat Dang took Justin from me. I didn't think Justin would be
taking him from me. He won, no.
He's good at weird shit dude. Yeah, he's good.
That's why I picked him. Weird strength stuff doesn't
leave a hole. Sam, Sam.
Corn Ray. Is that who you're picking?
Yeah. All right, you can skip me.
That's fine. Well, I think, no, I'm second.
No, then spins after me. I think Chandler.
After I. He's right.
It's been I.
Think. You just went out of order the
whole time. OK, we'll we'll fix it.
We'll fix it. I'm going to say it's something
super strange and. What are we going to do at
Toast? And Hendrick ends up using some
weird strength that gets him there.
Some weird Is he from Finland? Finland.
Yeah, it's like just north of South Africa.
And bottom three. Yeah, John.
I was going to say Sweden. Where is he?
Fine, the Dominican Congo, the Bravo Congo.
He's. Too pale?
Dude just north north of South Africa for sure.
He looks like a Viking. My my bottom 3 your gross.
Tyler, do you want to just keep going second?
Yeah, BK. Oh, that's who I was going to go
with. Dude shouldn't have let you go.
Dang. It.
I think you need to pick them. You need to pick them spin.
I need to pick. Oh yeah, you know, you know who
to pick. I can't wait for these at now
during the last. 2:00 to pick do it, do it.
All I'm picking Yona. Yona, you want me to pick Sax?
I did. I did what you.
If it's a large object, that's not a bad pick.
No, I don't think it's a bad pick either.
I just don't think Saxon. Will be good either.
Yoda could even qualify the games this year, so.
That's fair. Event 7 The gondola pegboards,
ski erg, GHDS. I'm up first on this one, women.
1st. Women, I'm picking Laura.
I think Laura will be doing just fine on this one.
Should be right? Tyler, you can go second again.
See you and John. I'm a shock Y'all rock with
Hayley Adams. That was not a shock.
Oh, I figured y'all would think I'm going to pick his aunt.
Is she good at the pegboard? I, I I'll pick her as my dark
horse and nobody picks her. OK, I want to pick Paige Samenza
for the Dark Horse. OK, lot object, little girl.
OK, yeah. What happened, Tyler?
I just never know what you're going to say sometimes, Ariel
Lowen. I love that pic.
I love the Ariel Lowen pic. I'm going to go Gazan.
I'm surprised somebody picked Danielle.
Nah. No, I don't think she can move
fast enough through it. I'm going to pick bottom 3.
Taylor, Taylor. Howe, Tyler.
I'm going to go with Danny. Watch make a cross that
pegboard. Yeah, I think the pegboard GHD
combo I think will get her. You think she's fat?
Is that why? No.
Then why you? Said that I did not say.
I did not endorse that message. John lost one that.
What you're saying, man, you think Danny Spiegel's like a
Super Saiyan version of sporty bath?
I had to like, play that out in my head.
You know what? Sporty best.
You know what I'm saying? Like a Super Saiyan version,
right? Like the the peak that it could
ever be. I declined to comment.
I'm going to pick Danny Pran. Wow, no Emily Rolfe was served
up for. You no Emily be alright in this
one, man should be alright. The peg or the gondola, Tyler?
The pegging you. Tyler.
Number one for pegging Jason Hopper.
You saw those pegboards? Right.
Dude this is a bad pick. He's gotten very good at it.
My number one is Justin Medeiros.
That was easy. I'm going to go with Tamer
Smith, Chandler Smith. That's that's not, that's not
great, Smith. Not great?
You don't think so? No.
Peg Pegboard. Yeah, I'm just, I'm just, I'm
letting you know. You have no idea how good he is
going across it. It's weird.
I. I do know.
You do? Did he tell horizontal dude?
I just just, I'm letting you know it's not a good pick all.
Right, we'll see. I agree.
I agree with you. He'll make up everything else on
the other part. EGHG combo.
He's one of the best ones at it, right?
I'm telling you right now, he's not good at the backboard.
How much worse does he can he be to still do well?
I mean, I'm going to. Say 10 seconds, I'm going.
To say no, I'm going to say he's mid pack.
And they'll, they'll pass everybody up.
No, no in the except for Justin. No, no in the event.
Oh no, no, he'll be better than that.
We'll see. Tyler Dark Horse.
I thought you would have picked Belner.
I'm. Going to go BK on this.
His back will break on the GHDS, but BKGI.
Don't think so. Yeah, Balner's too good, right?
I can't pick him. Yeah, I probably wouldn't pick
BKG or pick Belner, no. OK, it's a dark horse, Saxon
panchit. Give him a little love there.
Yeah, he's going to be good this.
One, I'm going to pick Mr. Cornwya on this one.
By the way, you are not allowed to do the pegboards the way Jay
was doing the pegboards. Are you serious?
You don't have to. You have to face it.
Face the whole time. That's bogus.
It is bogus, dude. That was I.
Thought it was. I thought it was great but I'm
surprised y'all didn't pick Jay Crouch to win then.
That would have been faster than everybody.
Well, that's again, I don't you're going to spend, I mean,
the pegboard, he was spent what, 15 seconds on it, I mean.
Like 45 seconds. I think he'll be faster by the
time he gets there. I heard he was.
I heard he was Googling technique.
Bottom 3. Bottom 3 Tyler.
Where's the Google? Jorge.
That was my pick, Tyler. Gosh.
Damn. I'm going to go with your ghost.
I think this would be better for Yorgos.
I do too. I thought about Heinrich.
Yeah, that's who I'm picking. But I'm just going to pick
Yorgos. Yeah, you think the pegboard
gets Heinrich? Yeah.
I mean, he's just Heinrich. Yeah, I just think he goes.
Slower GHDS too. I just think the GHDS crush him
all right. Event 8 Tightrope heavy double
unders. More seer bells with this time
lunging and some handstand walking John.
I skip event 7. I'm going to go Danielle,
Brandon. Danielle, not a bad pick.
I'm picking Tia. Not a bad pick.
Tyler. Brooke.
Not a bad pick, Tyler. I'm better you.
You seem to respect my female picks a little bit better.
You think so that? Was snide, is that what you
think? That was, that was an honest
question. I was.
I meant that sincerely. I don't know.
You didn't have Bethany the very to start off.
She was a good pick for that event.
I don't. Know that was good Tyler dark.
Horse Haley. I think she's too good to be
called Dark Horse. Have you seen her double unders?
I think it's a complete dark horse.
There's zero chance she does well on this.
I was thinking she was. Trapped in the dark.
I thought she was going to be bottom three.
I was going to pick her. Listen.
Just because she's bad one time don't mean she's, you know?
There you go Haley, I saved you from bottom 3.
Your technique is bad on regular double unders putting these 100
heavy ones. You're not wrong.
You're not. Wrong.
I'm way better at heavy. You're not wrong, Ariel Lowen.
OK. Hold up, how is?
Tyler. How is Tyler first?
Because I picked Danielle first. I don't think Spin knows.
Wait, Oh, you picked? Yeah, we're just going any which
order now. That's what I'm saying.
Span like your key. Are you sure you're keeping
track of this because it's? Well, I was.
It was in perfect order until I started getting out of out of
order. And then now I have no idea what
I'm doing. All right, I'm thinking, Laura,
is that is that a dark horse? I'll let you pick, Laura.
Why would she be a dark horse for this?
She's not the fastest at handstand walking.
She's not bad at handstand walking, but she's not.
You can think of all the fastest handstand walkers like Brooke's
there. Honestly, Tia's there now,
Danielle. Is the top three are the best TN
stand walkers plus? Haley's very good at handstand
walking. Ariel's very good at handstand
walking. After that Maddie Sturt's good
at handstand walking. I would assume Sidney is just
cause Brooke is so good. But after that then it's Laura,
you know what I mean? Like that's like.
Thanks, Ben. Yeah.
Top of the news for you there, folks.
All right. The news you don't get
elsewhere? Am am I first?
Yes, good. B Paige, last place.
Yeah. OK, I'm picking Dana Paran
Missy. Yes.
I don't know if she can handstand walk.
I think she. Could.
Handstand fuck did did. Well she was, she was at Dubai
last year, right? And nobody could do the
handstand walk obstacle course at the end.
So no, but that's because the free handstanding push ups got
everybody. No, it was.
It was that snake handstand. No, I know.
But they had to do the free handstand first.
That's that's what's. That's the start it.
They had to go back though. They had to do them at the end
as well. Yeah, Tyler Taylor.
That's not. I was thinking about Taylor too,
I just didn't know how good she was.
But. Well with her being exposed on
hands and walk, I mean this is just shoulder endurance.
Yeah. That's fair.
And the men who's personnel Me. Yes.
Sure, Medeiros, Tyler. OK, John.
Down Pepper. There he is, he finally gets
one. Dark horse heavy double unders
handstand walking. You're up, Spin.
I know, Noah. Do you?
Noah. Noah will do well.
Tyler Sam, he's my dark horse for everything.
I think just because it's like I've always had faith.
Do you? Think he makes it this far in
the competition? Or does he withdraw from the?
That's a great prop bit. Yeah.
All right, my dark horse is Ricky.
On this one, I'll give it to you.
I think Sam Quant is a worthy name as well.
Yep, I would agree with that handstand walking.
I might go with Chandler. That's a good.
That's a good, yeah. Good edge that is not good for
him. I'm saying I was a good pick by
you. I know Tyler.
Jorge. Dang it.
Dang it Tyler, he took my pick. I know I spoiled it when I
picked him for event 6. I I picked him for every single
one. John.
I'm just going to pick your coach.
It's between him and Heinrich and Heinrich's got very good
double unders. I don't think your goes as bad
here, but. Tyler should move this seer belt
better too. Tyler took my Jorge so.
Yeah, event 9 TBD. Barbell cycling.
That'll be cleans, right? I I maybe, but it's.
Down. It's an execution event too.
It's going to have to be, yeah. It's but it's every single year
it's been a barbell cycling a cleaning jerks or cleans of some
kind. Not not saying it should be
cleans, but it will be. It should be barbell cycling of
some sort where it's like just barbell cycling.
Maybe something in the middle, but like not like barbell
cycling is the thing. Burpees.
It doesn't matter. Barbell cycling is the crux of
the workout. Yeah, I can see it.
Tall Box jumps and cleans. Tyler, you're up.
See ya. Both.
Surprise events.
John. Laura.
And I got hosed on this one. If it truly is barbell cycling,
it's. Barna.
Dana Peran, OK, could have saved her for the dark horse, but.
Not Taylor. Not Taylor.
Taylor Williamson. No barbell cycling.
Dana, I think is one of the top. Okey doke.
Now how fit this freaking? Quiet.
Her delts are freaking massive. If it if it's all barbell and
it's like again, like double grace or heavy grace like it was
two years ago, Daniel will be right up there with him.
If there's a whole bunch of fitness in between, I made a bad
pick. Hey Kevin, can you let someone
know where we are please? Thank you.
Tyler. I'll go with Taylor.
OK, I'm going to go with Alex Kazan.
Kazan as a dark horse. I am going to pick Danny
Spiegel. I can't believe we didn't.
Yeah. No, we picked her.
No, she's not it. Again, it depends on what it is.
Yeah, but she's never won these. Ever.
True Tyler. Last place final event.
He can do it. You can do it, Tyler.
You can do it, Emma. McQuaid Who'd you think I was
going to pick? Put her down there.
There you go.
Put her down there. Miss Rolf.
Sorry, Haley, it's not going to end well doing.
Haley's good at barbell cycling. Not if it's heavy.
It's not moderate. You don't know that.
Who would you put below her? Taylor Howe, Sydney Taylor who?
And the men, John? Oh, I got first in this one, Mr.
Jeff Adler. Not bad.
I'm going to pick Mr. Dallon Pepper.
Also not bad spin. That was my second.
He's my he's #2 for me. Justin Medeiros.
And there it went. It's not a bad pick.
If it's not overhead, I think
Pat, I think Pat is probably up there.
He he, he has a way of very. It's not, it's not overhead,
Yeah. It's not always has been.
John Dark Horse. Brent.
God, that should be an award we give out next time.
Least clutch? Dude, I mean clutch.
Or I mean, Ricky was really unclutched last year.
Yeah. Fitnessy last event I want to
pick Yona. Yona.
I thought if it's moderately heavy barbell cycling with some
with some other fitnessy stuff and he has a chance.
He's there for you, Tyler. Your boy key.
No, no, his boy is. His lover, his.
Lover Jay. Jay Crouch.
No, Jason. Jason is not, I don't think
Jason's dark horse. I think he's going to get top
10. Dude, not very.
Good. That's not.
I think it could be Dark Horse if you're like, yeah, yeah.
This trash. Dark Horse, Somebody who could
win or could be top three that people just aren't thinking of.
Tyler space Hopper top three Sam or dark horse Sam for a bottom
300%. You found the algorithm all.
Right John. Bottom 3 Mr. Giorgos Caravan.
Giorgos. Your ghost.
Is it? It's your ghost, right?
Yeah, yeah. OK.
I think it's gorgeous. Gorgeous.
I'm thinking BKG.
I'm going to say BKG is going to ride off into the sunset, not
do. You don't think he even does the
last one? Like his back will be broken and
he'll walk off the field. My back is broken.
It'll leave his shoes on the floor and walk off with Brent.
So Brent, Brent does great BK GS trash.
They walk off together. I'm going to go with Heinrich.
Heinrich's pretty good with the barbell.
Yeah, Heinrich's, Heinrich's all right.
He's he's bottom. Bottom just the I'm I'm I'm
feeling vibes and I'm feeling hi Rick it's.
Kind of cross fat. You have no idea.
I'm I'm a geographic. So.
Renaissance. In the show, do we get like we
should get a point for everyone that we're right?
So like anything you're wrong on your fine, but if you get one
right, you get a point. Yeah, Dark Horse has to be top
five. I think if you get one wrong,
it's minus all right. No, just get a point.
Just. Get a point.
So if you're top three, you get a point.
Dark horse hits top five, you get a point.
Bottom 3, you get a point. And just who has the most points
at the end of it? OK, that's fine.
That's fine. Overall standings, it's my turn,
right? Tia.
I really like this for in the in the Heat one app this that's
really good way to do it. Tyler.
Laura. I'm not going to lie, I feel
like I got the short end of the stick on this this turn should.
Have had a better spot there. Jump.
I'm going to go, I'm going to go, Miss Alex Gazan.
Man we call girl we did not call Gabby more than she started off
strong on the 1st event and then that was.
That's what Gabby is, man. Gabby's a great runner, but
after that she's just sneaky and Sneaky's only good to be so far.
The Crosby Games was all running.
Dark Horse. I'm going to pick brick Wells.
That's the. Earring on non dark.
The earring on non dark, he says.
You think? Yeah.
Well, who are you going to pick? We'll see if I agree, Ariel.
Dude, I spin this, this this this slide is not fair if I you.
Can pick Gabby and be. This is this is my one.
Through five. That's a real dark horse.
Though No, no, no, no, Tyler, we're about to.
We're about to look at my rankings, right?
Spin. If you if we want or you guys
want. I, I think we should just take
as much time as we want. Like they're going to ramble for
30 minutes about the election. That's fine.
This is Tyler. Tyler, this is my one through 5.
So who's your 6th? So you you weren't, I assume you
see, I just assumed you're making fun of me.
No, no, no, this, this right here.
Like OK. In order.
Gabby, I just. Don't think that's a dark horse
pick. It's.
Dark Horse to make top five, Yeah.
Or to pick a. Podium, this is overall
standings, it's a little bit different.
You're just trying to pick your best people.
You guys are are freaking with rules here.
Last last place you picked. Ariel, I have her 4th place,
Tyler Ariel's. 4th. Place off the podium it's.
Rogue. Last place Taylor who?
Who? Taylor?
Who? Tyler.
What? When?
How? How?
Why? Tyler.
Taylor. You can't.
Just copy paste it. Just just put add that to the
real. It's OK, we'll fix it.
We'll fix it in post. I'm going to go with Emma, Emma.
McQuaid Oh, OK, I'm going to go with the one, the only the third
fittest woman in the world, Emily Rolfe.
I hope you're wrong, because that's going to look really bad
on HQ if you're right. It's it's you heard it here.
Wait till. We get to the men overall
standings. Tyler, Jason Hopper.
See. This is ridiculous.
Man, because then you get that he goes Laurel Horvath for me,
but you get that that's dumb. That's dumb.
No, but you get a freaking cop out, dude.
You you know it's you know it's true.
What I'm? Saying I can't wait till I get a
point for this. Dumb.
So dumb. That's unfortunate.
Did you, did you know it was going to rail?
Go back. Like that?
No, I did not. But I should have thought about
it. He.
Didn't know what's. Happening, John.
Do you know what's happening? I wasn't going to do the same.
Notes. Of what's happening.
I wasn't going to do event 6 and 9 and it would have been a
different order. It's my fault, Jeff Adler.
Yeah, there you go. It's your fault.
I like that. Telling my wife.
I'm going to go with Dallin Pepper.
That's cool, dark horse. Tyler.
I'm going to go with Sam Cory. That's different, OK.
Very dark horse. Justin Medeiros If your dark
horse gets top three, can you get 2 points?
No, no, you shouldn't even get a point for Justin.
I'm picking you picked Ariel. I'm picking Sam.
Quan. Rogue True dark horse.
Sam Quan. That's a fair dark horse, you.
Want me to pick Ricky? You want me to pick Ricky
instead of Justin? No, I think they're about the
same. OK, Bottom 3.
Tyler, Jorge. Yeah, here we go.
Spins got one, one hard decision.
The entire thing, he's got one hard decision.
I've had like 15 hard decisions there.
You go to rack up the points on the bottom 3 picks.
You got you got your ghost. Oh man.
You gonna RIP. You gonna RIP.
You gonna RIP off mine spins. Are you gonna make your own
decision? You gonna make your own
decision. You're gonna RIP it off of me?
No, I'm gonna make my own decision.
I'm picking BKG. All right, there we go.
There we go. Sticking his neck on the line
there. I can't wait for the last day
and I've got a shit load of points because of the bottom 3.
Yeah. And I'm I'm tired for first or
something. Right.
I mean we. We all picked Jorge and Yorgos
like. There we go, Emily.
Emily could backstab me, but I mean, that's my fault for
picking her last place every time so.
With that real quick John Young Stone cold predictions, we're
going to skip the blind rankings this week.
We will skip the FTD Wee Wee and John.
Jeff Adler first, Justin Madero second, Dallin Pepper third,
Ricky Gerrard 4th, Brent Fukowski 5th, Jason Hopper 6th
breaking his 7th place streak. Pat Veldner.
You hate Pat Veldner now. I think that's my biggest.
Highlight it. That's I, I would say that's the
biggest call is for Pat Veldner to be that or Alex Kazan.
Alex in 3rd you have James Sprague, the 2024 Fittest Man on
Earth, down in 12th place, Saxon Pantrick down in 16th, Hendrick,
Jorge and Yorgos down in the bottom 3.
Tia Claire, Tumi Ora wins again. Avengers last year over Laura
Horvath, Alex Kazan, Ariel Lowen, Gabby Mcgawa, Brick Wells
in 6th, Emmett All, Danielle Brandon.
Is there anybody here that you guys disagree with or upset with
the most? Not on the female end.
I think Amanda might be high. You think Amanda Barnhart is
high? Obviously a lot of stuff has to
do with her shoulder, but I think if she's somewhat normal
that she there's a lot of events that go well for her.
And I'm surprised you have Emily Rolf in 18th, not 20th.
Well. Just stays off the bottom.
She, she's going to be top five in the first event like it's and
that's, and that's going to be enough points to get her above
those two. You know what I mean?
Cause those two aren't doing aren't if the best they're doing
is 15. I think that.
I think that I think Sam Cornwalle Saxon Pantrex 1617.
You think they're too low? Yeah.
I think they're too low. I I know you're like 3 or 4
spots. Right.
You knew you're very low on BKG, but who else would you have
above them or them above Yonah? Yes, BKG Yonah depends on Jay
Crouch. I assume he's back to healthy
Nathan Sam. I think Olson.
I mean, he trained for a freaking Iron Man, ran an Iron
Man a week ago, or even a. Week.
Ago, no. And he's a little bit of a wild
card. Like if his body's just run down
like that's hard to call, right but they're as far as the events
go that's how I think he'll finish.
I'm not going to like subtract him one or two because of his
body being tired like if that happens it happens, right?
Yeah, but. So the the the duo duel between
Laura and Gabby, this point doesn't look like it's going to
be close. I don't think it's going to be a
talking point. What's bad is I think Gabby's
going to be second place in the first of it and Laura's going to
be like 8th or 9th and then after that.
So after day one, it probably will be a talking point because
they'll be very close to each other.
Gabby might even be second. I don't think she will, but like
maybe right after that it won't be.
It won't be close. And also the handstand push up
event is event 2. That bodes well for Gabby.
So Laura's worst 2 events are the 1st 2 events.
So Laura's going to be like in 7th to 10th place after after
day. One, what happens if Laura's
like 11th place and is in the bottom heat?
The first heat of all day on day 2.
I think, I think she wins three straight.
Events. I don't think it matters like
like like she's, she has like 3 straight events.
I think she can win and like she's going to be one or two and
literally the next six of seven events after the 1st 2:00.
And and like it will end up running away.
It'll end up it'll end up just being Tia.
And then I think Laura and Alex will be very close depending on
how badly Laura does in the wall facing can't stand push up
workout. It's not deficit.
So I don't think she's going to be that bad, but I think she's
going to be like 12th place, right?
I don't think it's going to be in 18th or to 20th place.
I think it'll be like a 12th place.
She's going to squat better than everybody, right?
So it's just getting through them.
She's just paced that as well as she can.
And she's just fitter, right? Like I think she'll be able to
get around 10th place in that and then she's going to be
she'll be fine. But after that, I think it'll be
a runaway. You have online qualifiers.
Yorgos, Jorge Henrik Cornwallier, James.
Was the automatic invite. Who else was there?
Gee. Gee.
So you have Gee as the top in online qualifier and on the
women's side Emma Tall 7th. Yeah, that's it Might be a
little high before we get too far away from the Laura Gabby
dispute. The way I set it up was over
under can. Can Gabby stay within 100
points, Laura? Absolutely.
Yes, 100 points for sure. He didn't last year.
There wasn't handstand push ups last year.
All right. Absolutely.
Laura will take a hit on that event.
It's not going to be near as big as people want.
Like as much as I wanted it to be, it would if it was deficit,
it would be beautiful. But I think I think it's going
to be a race between Laura and Alex and Ariel and Gabby are
going to be like 50 points behind them.
Now you think my think about Gabby.
Can we take 95 points from the first event?
Her best thing is running rogue is the opposite of what the
games was. Yeah.
Like if we look at what the Rogue's programming is this year
versus what the games was this year, it's literally the.
Opposite. So we'll know the fittest
humans. Now you accumulate the two,
we'll know who the best is. So Jeff is going to get 100 and
0. So Dallin Pepper's going to be
the 5th man on earth. I, I, you know, I honestly.
Weird because Peace Corps predicted that, but we'll just
move past that. I I do think you could take the
average of the two if you want to project Dallin or, or project
Jeff and Laura's positions. I think Laura is would have been
like 6th place at the games this year with everybody.
With this programming. Yes, with the Grossman games
programming, but like, and you can, if we just want to place
those people, obviously like you can't just do that, but if we
want to and you average the two, I I 100% think you can do that.
What's funny though, is I think Gabby would still end up on top
and in her normal games she wouldn't be.
But if there's strict handstand push ups, then I think there's a
shot with a deficit deficit handstand push up.
I think there's absolutely a shot.
How would Hatfield fare this weekend?
I think Hatfield would be third place.
I think down would be 4th place. Hatfield would have been third.
Whoa, name an event he'd be bad at.
Not, I mean I'm not saying, but that's how that do this top
three is crazy. Yeah, name an event he'd be bad
at. So you're saying?
I think he'd be top three and literally maybe six of the 9
events. If you take the idea that you
can accumulate the CrossFit Games and Rogue, he's a top five
athlete. I, I think he is a top five
athlete. You know what he's not type 5 at
is execution. Like I cannot and I told him
this, I cannot predict him to be as good as I think he is because
of the way he executes right. So like let's let's go.
You want to go through him real quick and I'll tell you.
I'll tell you what he needs to be.
I got 2 minutes all right. Quicksand.
Event 1, he he'd be about, he'd be about 5th place.
OK. Event two, he might give Guy a
run for his money. I still would pick Guy, he's
cycling the snatches just as fast.
Event three, I think he wins next.
Man event four he won thrusters. I think he wins.
It's 135 thrusters, right? Like the log muscle UPS.
It's so hard to say because it's a weird implement, but he's very
good at gymnastics, like very. And he's probably the best one
at thrusters of Colton is not there.
But you're saying the road doesn't have any implication on
it? Not for this, no.
I mean, they're all fit. It does it.
It does if you're tied at the end and then it's Hopper.
And the last thousand would be fun to watch.
Right. But like, if you have 100m lead,
you're not making up 100 meters. It's just, it's that like it.
But the middle part is the workout.
The road's just there to have pain.
Event five. Event five, Yeah.
Yeah, yeah, he wouldn't. He wouldn't do great in event 5,
but he's not going to have trouble doing the devil's press
and then it's just rope climbs. I don't.
I think he's top 10 still. Event 6, it's a Max of some
sort. If it's odd object that hurts
him, I would say top five no matter what.
Event 7, the pegboard's hard to say.
I actually. Think he does it for him, yeah.
He doesn't do great in this 110th place.
OK event 8 top five. He's one of the better he.
Does that he's he has 2nd place potential if that and then event
9. Is cycling he's better than
Jeff? Depends on the lift.
If it's clean and jerk, I might give it to Jeff, but he is one
of the best barbell cyclers in the world.
Yeah, I would. I would say third place.
I'm not going to take it with Justin as the king of execution.
So I'm not going to take it away from Justin.
Have to show that he can't execute for anything.
And until he shows that it's hard to pick him.
All right. So I would I would say third
place. It's bold all right guys you
guys are heading over to Sivan right now go download heat one
as these guys go switch out their stream yard login and we
will see you Friday morning super early for the spin cast
strong woman edition and yeah stay with us that.
Take your Oval team.
