Did today. How you can't say that stuff?
I'm just wanting to fight, I he. He used to surprise us, man.
Tyler just went on a racist rampage and just tried to go
live to catch him. Can't be.
Doing it earlier, spin was like talking about something and I
immediately went to wanting to fight somebody.
I was like, never mind. Probably don't do that, Yeah.
You have to wait till we go live for you to do that.
Welcome to the spin guys. May 15th, 2 days before, Less
than two days before the start of the 2024 CrossFit Semi
finals, Asia will take place. I guess tomorrow night, our
time, it'll start it off and then we'll wake up early Friday
morning and then we'll be in France.
And tomorrow I get. Tomorrow afternoon it starts at
like one or something. Or that early?
Yeah, like in the afternoon, because Adam was texting me
about it. He was like, dude, I don't want
to wake up in the middle of the night and hit lock for these
events. And I I was like, well, what's
the time zone in Korea? And I was like, dude, at 2:00 in
the afternoon. He goes, oh, never mind, we're
good. Yeah, that's good.
That's good. If you have been taking part of
the Heat 1 Burton, John Young, Rocky, nibble beater or AT
shirt. T-shirt sorry for.
That mixing it up. Beater batters over there.
Melanie Good evening Wad Zombie. Do you guys wear your manta
sleep thing every night or just when you travel?
I am so stoked about the manta sleep like guys.
The heating, the heating pots. The heating and the cooling and
then the headphones inside it. So I I have a bad habit where I
watch, I watch movies and stuff on my phone while I lay in bed.
I can't help it. It's like a habit I've had my
entire life. But the headphones I have to
wear, headphones usually cause Jeanette's like turn that shit
off. Well, these have built in
headphones so it doesn't like irritate my ears.
It's incredible. And then?
You can like, lay on the side, yes.
Still, yeah. Can still hear it.
It's. Definitely not what they
intended for those, but who cares?
Buy some. They're great.
They're. They're pretty neat.
I don't wear them like to sleep
at night, but I do wear them when I take a nap because.
I do it's. Light outside.
Yeah, I wear them every night. I just got back from Orlando for
the last two to three days and being in a hotel, like
everything has the light on and the windows are always, you
know, lights coming in. So I wore that, took it with me
and loved it. So go get one.
I mean we have we got the pro and then we also just got
whatever the yeah, like the the, the best one that has all the
the speakers in it and stuff like the headphones 100% get it.
It is awesome. So you know, use code, spin, get
10% off. So yeah.
I see, but they're worth it. Seriously.
Yeah. Oh yeah, 'cause, like, my wife
had one and it was just like a regular old sleep mask she's had
for a while. And so it was OK And then I got
mine and she's like, I want one. So now she has one.
Like they got so much. Better they sent me.
I don't know if. They sent.
They sent me too. OK, yeah.
Yeah. So Leslie got one, too.
My wife I get. The old version though, like the
new version. I mean, I'm the I'm the reason
these are here. These are mine, right?
She stole the old ones and then as soon as we got the new order
in, she was like sniffing around.
I was like get away from there like.
Have you tried the heating or cooling things?
Yet I tried the heating ones. It's pretty neat.
I think it's like AI would treat it as like a pre bed ritual or
something. I don't know, I haven't figured
that out. They should, they should put
some they maybe they have put some videos out about those or
something or maybe we could do that.
There you go. Make you put you in charge of
that? Yeah.
Before we get into everything, it's been a big day for John
Young. Big week, I guess.
Earlier this week he was featured by the CrossFit Games
on one of his comments, but more importantly, this afternoon,
there it is. I got my TV.
The giant TV has has arrived. I love that it's not just bigger
than my TV, It's bigger than the whole desk that my TV is on as
well. Did you those plants?
Got to find another spot, babe. Did you bring it in?
And you're like, Oh no, we're going to have to rearrange.
No, I was well. So, like, they had to, like a
guy helped me unload it, right? And I'm like, and he kind of
looked at my wall and I'm like, don't.
Worry we'll make it work and. Then he was like, all right, no,
I haven't put much thought into it.
Leslie's working. Whenever she gets home, we'll
we'll figure it out. But it's.
I'm excited. What are you going to watch
first? I don't know.
Tyler dude. Yeah, put on semi finals.
I anytime I get a new TVI pre plan what I'm gonna watch first
it's like a it's like the champagne bottle for my TV.
There's a big. Cycling race going on Right now
it's the Tour of Italy. It's the Giro di Italia.
For any cycling fans out there I'll probably watch some of that
on on there. I'm I'm not a a huge TV watcher
just like daytime TV right? Like, but I I'll, I'll probably
put that on watch, that big cycling fan.
Big cycling fan Yeah. Are you going to hang it up
then, or are you going to find a stand?
Dude, I don't know. I'm going to open.
It up, Leave it right there. Yeah, yeah.
I'm just going to leave it. I'm just going to put it in
front of the desk in the TV and then just leave it on the floor.
It worked. It'll work.
I'll we'll figure it out. We'll figure it out.
Once I put it up, I'll send a picture in the chat and y'all
can y'all can see. There you go.
All right. Well, we have comments from 2
episodes. So John and I jumped on Friday,
talk about the games allocations.
We'll bring Tyler in the mix, kind of have some more time to
think about what's been going on.
But first, we'll go through some viewer comments.
Let's see, first of all, if you are watching and you're not a
subscriber, go subscribe. We're almost at the 6000 mark so
that. Would be cool.
Feels like just a couple months ago we were battling Pedro for
5000 so. Where you at, Peter?
Yeah, come on Pedro. He's waiting till he gets his
new studio up and running, then he's going to take it off again.
What's he at 5 1/2 right? Now and we're.
Almost 60, he's average. He actually went down. 5 1/2's
average. Oh, we took subscribers from
him, yeah. They left him to come to us,
yeah. All right, if you guys throw a
comment in there, we may read it next week.
First one at Al Dubai. Dave may have his week in
review, but Baz has the spin. I hope you get him back on a
semi regular. Great interview, great
interaction, great information. Nice work fellas.
Yeah, I think Baz likes us, and I like Baz.
I think he hates us and he like, wants to see smiling through his
teeth. He's like, this is how I get in
and then stab him. No, that's what it was.
He was like, hey, CrossFit Games make John feel like he's
somebody because we're gonna. Murder.
Yeah, yeah. He thinks he's going to the
games. He's we're gonna Hiller him as
soon as he gets here. I'm gonna he gonna come up here
with Spin's credentials. We're going to throw them in a
corner. You're not allowed to be here.
John, look at this new equipment we're going to debut at the
games. Come back here, John.
Why? Why is there, why is there
stuff? Why is there vinyl all over the
floor? That's.
What'll happen? At Tracy Church John, you can't
just tell people they are trash and say no offense.
Look, look, with all due respect and I say with all due.
Respect. That's fine.
I'll be the Ricky Bobby of CrossFit.
I mean, you got to be, you got to be truthful, yeah.
Just, you know, can't pump them up.
And then they're going to find out they're trash soon enough.
If anything, might as well tell them at first.
I am honest. Right.
I mean, all these people are surrounded by all everybody
that's an enabler and you tell them like it is and then when
they get 32nd in the semi finals, they'll realize John
Young knows what he's talking. About they'll realize that they
are trash and then, you know get better.
Look at look, old Brandon Luckett did rose from the ashes
and now he's, you know how he's going to make the game.
Now he's going to be wearing a John Young shirt.
Yeah, well, I think we should call it a Brandon Luckett shirt.
I don't. I don't think we should take I.
Don't know. I don't know.
I do. Not want to take credit for that
at all. OK, that man did that.
You let him have his flowers. Yeah, let's see.
At the Pomnitz. Americans want to sport with a
world championship, excluding the rest of the world in the
style of the NBA and NFL. No.
It's it's like they're not. Even the NBA doesn't count, or
the NFL doesn't count. There is no other place on earth
that compete with it. Could compete with this anyway.
It'd be like us letting in the team division if we let the rest
of the world into the NBAI. As far as CrossFit goes, it's
like I still kind of thought about that the other day.
Like, we're so far ahead in so many ways from CrossFit.
Yeah, North America, East in particular.
But also W like we're just light years ahead on CrossFit.
It's not that we wanted to have like over Europe.
Yes, Yes. I don't.
I don't know about that, John. I'm.
Talking about total amount of bodies like we have more people
who are higher level than Europe has, period.
OK, I buy. I buy that.
We have more talent now. They might have a couple there
to top as I'll give you that. But you could.
You said that, but you could kill a couple and we're still
right there. I would argue per capita
Oceania's the best. Like how?
Like how many good people they have, how many good people they
have versus how many people there are.
I think Oceania. Oceania is the has the highest.
For doing that, it's definitely not Asia.
No Asia but. Africa's out.
No, no, but I think Oceania I do.
North America might be second, but because they don't have very
many people at all when. You're talking about the very
top but. What an asshole.
Answer it answer. It.
What an asshole. Speaker, speaker, answer it.
Speaker hold. On.
Yeah, you're live on the show. Go ahead.
Oh shit. Really.
Yeah. What's up?
Hey, is that video ready? For I don't.
Watch that video yet? Is it ready for tonight?
It's ready. The commercial's ready.
The the one we were talking about earlier this morning is
not ready, but the commercial I sent you is ready and Souza has
it prepped. Oh, that's awesome.
How long is it? It's like it's not even 20 or 30
seconds. Oh, I'm pumped.
OK. And we can show the five minute
one too, just maybe at the end or something?
Don't show that one. That one's not ready.
OK, cool. You're on the show with Spin
right now. Yeah.
So are you OK? I.
Don't know why. Do you?
Larry Young Dollar 99, when it gets heavy, your Europe starts
dropping. He's not wrong.
I'll be. I'll be very interesting to see
how they do. How many people do you think
beat my time in the snatch ladder because I say less than
7? In Europe.
Yeah. I really want to put these in
the heat. One app while I was doing event
one, I was like we were probably really could do that.
What? Absolutely.
And what was your time again, John?
8. 4840. And that's with like 3 missed
snatches. What's the time cap?
11. 11. How many?
How many Beta Dead 2016 do you know off the top of your head?
No, I didn't. Because I'm asking spin, spin,
spin. With not very many for sure.
I I still think 2021 is the more.
Yeah, but that only happened in one spot.
It did. It did.
Let's see. Semifinals Leaderboard Europe is
going to look terrible in 2016. What do you mean they had the?
Fittest woman in the world. They had the third fittest man
in the world. Why would Europe look terrible?
Tyler's just went on this. You have to prove him wrong.
So it's because you can't. He's.
Screwed.
I'm with you, man. 2016 Event One BKG won it with 739.
What was your score 40? 8:40 four dudes.
Right after Lucas Hopper. Dan, there's a lot of guys
around there though. Rouen Duvenage.
That's probably not how you say that.
Look. Oscarson.
Got it. 1210 minutes.
That was he was skinny that. Guy disappeared and he came
back. He's going to do it and then
he's off the face of the planet, so.
Man, look at these names. All these guys that did not
finish, I I think more than seven beat you, John.
We'll see, man. I don't think I.
Here's the thing, I I think we're fitter.
I think we're way fitter. I don't think we're way
stronger. Like guys were snatching 305300
in this time too. No.
Yes. No, no.
Yes, Sam. Dancing at 3:00. 15 and 2016.
I remember. 1. Or two guys snatched 300.
Easy Muhammad and Sam Dancer both snatched 315.
Matt Fraser could snatch 315. How many guys are snatching 315?
Now there's like 3. Three.
How many hit 300 at? That point I think that it.
Was like a whole heat. Yeah, but that was the first
workout and it was, and it was like 6.
It was six guys who had never done it before.
In North America. In Europe, Chris, I will put
money on it here. How about your reason 18 to 20.
Your region, Chris, is Oceania. They're just as weak as Europe.
They are so bad as strength. You got one dude who can't even
finish the workout too that's super strong.
That's it. Now, now like like Tyler said,
you know you got a couple fit guys, right?
Ricky and Jay are pretty fit and I'll throw Bailey in there too,
but other but strength? You got Jake Douglas and that's
it. Ricky's probably the second
strongest guy. Royce Nunn ain't competing.
Johann Roberts he was the guy that hit that huge clean and
jerk it down under. I think he's in.
I think he made it. There it is. 18 Sailor Telf over
under on heat. One I would.
Probably. Put that line on like 11 or 12
guys might beat you and not in Europe.
Shit in Europe. See, I think it's like 10 in
Europe. Eight.
I'll put the line at 8, double it from 2016.
Yeah, I like that. I like that.
I think spin's probably more accurate with 10.
North America, I would say 20. Yeah.
Why John? They're stronger.
Man, it's nice. Y'all just keep making this case
for me. They are stronger.
I I. Started the case, what are you?
Talking about. So yeah, let's see, last viewer
comment at Shannon Scheffler. Going back to the distribution
of the qualifying spots. The method is the problem, not
the top 100. The field should be the actual
field. It shouldn't include the
athletes who are no longer in the field for the season.
They just need to re evaluate the importance of guaranteed
spots or maybe regions go away. Again, just change it all up.
Yeah, fuck it. Throw it all out.
They're all gone, yeah. Bring Dan back.
Let him make who goes to the games.
Yeah. Actually, Dave's just going to
hand pick them. No, I don't like you.
You're going to go? On you're out.
I'm talking elite fitness. I think a few of them threw out
and discussed combining regions like just throwing Oceania,
Asia, Africa into one. Let's rewind.
Let's go back 10 years when we had 17 regions.
Let's yet again condense, because that's worked out so
well. Yeah, Texas gets their own
region. Texas.
Yeah, California got its own region.
Screw them. Texas needed its own.
They had two at one point. Hell, they've gained like half.
They've doubled their population in the last three years.
I will F some people up in Texas and then get effed up I.
Mean think about. Think about that, though.
When regionals first started, California had two two regions.
It made sense for California. I mean, they were definitely,
yeah, I mean by far better. But to just say, look, it's just
California, like they didn't even bring in like Utah or
Arizona or anybody next to them is like, no, screw it up.
Doesn't really what makes sense. Go ahead.
I think. I think what they're doing right
now is the right thing other than how they're getting there.
It's like the regions and I know we're getting on to that second
topic right now like we're kind of blending into it.
But that that I think what they are doing right now as far as
the regions go is they should keep that if but then the only
the only thing they should change is just real time
performance. Like like you take your open
score quarterfinal score make it 1 third 2/3 however you want to
do that. Or or just.
Quarterfinals, it doesn't matter.
Top 100 and quarterfinals and then distribute that percentage
across the regions like that is the most fairway.
And then Africa, Asia, like every everybody, everybody
automatically gets one and then you distribute the next 95, the
top 95 people accordingly and that is the most fairway.
You cannot tell me it's not the most fairway and if one, if one
region has over half, for instance North America has had
that but like this year you know Europe was close to over half
right then they would then then you can divide that into West
and East Europe and the North America just gets one.
It doesn't really matter that either.
That doesn't really matter either, as long as it's the top
95 and then you go accordingly because if Europe had 50 people
then they get 20 spots at the games.
You know. And they should.
They should. It should be represented more
because they had 50 people in the top 100.
The only thing I would, I'd add one more layer to it and what
I've always wanted to look at is not just everybody in the top
100 gets the same vote in this whole decant method, but first
place gets higher weighted right?
So like because first place in the world versus 100th place in
the world, Huge difference like. I don't mind that, but I feel
like that's complicating things for the 2nd complicating things
like are you are you saying like if they wanted to keep how
they're doing it now, but then gave more weight to the first
person, Right? I agree with Spin.
I think that's always should have been a thing.
It's, you know, it's like the fun things.
Fun, bad news is like the leaks of the workouts.
Like when they leak, it's a good thing that we talk about them.
It creates more suspension, but it's like when they change a
complicated system and make it more complicated in the middle
of the season. This is not good news.
Right. Like what do you talk?
Like to me, the method matters less than the than that that you
keep screwing with it and we. Have to go explain to.
People. And it's just like it.
People tune out. Trust me, I'm Doctor Z Score.
People tune out when you hear numbers.
Yeah, I mean. I'm I'm tuning out now.
I look at it so. No offense when we went.
And did our bonus show on Friday, they obviously they
hadn't published anything, right.
It was just like, here's your allotment.
And so I had worked with Halp and we were trying to kind of go
at it on Thursday. After Vaz said that and figuring
out on our own and I kind of was just, I just went through the
old hundred top 100, top worldwide rankings.
It kind of went down. I was like, Nope, you're out,
you're out, you're out. And I was like in the two
hundreds, right, 'cause like so many people aren't competing
this year. They went team, etcetera.
They didn't qualify. And so like the the the top 100
is like 200 and 30th in the world.
And yet they published a top 100 rankings earlier this week.
So, like, it made me think that this change was kind of on a
whim. Like, because what they publish
as a Top 100 isn't legit like you have.
You'd have to go to the full rankings on your own and start
doing what I was doing and striking on all these people.
And I would be OK with it being on a whim if Europe had gotten
more spots. But it didn't.
It got less. Do you think that they they?
Came up do. You think that they came up with
this idea, ran the numbers, and were like, should we go with it
or should we just go back to the old way?
I don't know. I don't.
I don't want. I don't want to try to know.
I worry because Chad, I think, is on the team of guys who deals
with this and how much vote he gets.
They they have yet to publish the top, yeah.
We we don't. They.
I think Halpin knows right. Because his all his numbers all
matched. But yeah we we don't CrossFit is
not published who's not official right.
We, we. I mean, if it wasn't for help
and we wouldn't know how that was done.
I'll be I'll be honest. I would be fine.
And I I, I I'm hesitant to give him this type of power but I
would be fine just to leave it to happen.
It happened. Tell us how many people go to
the games like you just do it. I don't even care how you do it.
You do it. And if it looks right, like if
I'm like, yeah, that looks right, like I'm good with it.
That would actually be really fun.
I tell you what have have me and Brian.
Have me and Brian. Not spin friend.
No offense. Spin have because we're kind of
like the opposites of each other, right?
Like have us look at it. We're like good with it then,
then we're then we'll just rock with that, OK?
And everybody could be mad at us if they don't like it.
It would kind of be fun from like a marketing standpoint to
be like and, Halpin says. And we look at Halpin and it's
like, and then it just gives us a list and it's like, how's it
done? We don't know.
Halpin just gives us the numbers.
We don't know. It'd be like the it'd be like
the draft pick, like in the in the NBA when they're they're
kind of doing the numbers for the lottery.
Yeah, we don't know how it works.
Who gets the first extra allotment?
And he's like North America East.
You know how it's when they elect a new Pope, they shoot out
white smoke out of this? Dude.
What if they did that? I would even doubt be down for
that so. Like different colors for
different regions. No, no, no, no, no Tyler, not
that. Like if they did like what you
said the NBA lottery like they do the ping pong balls.
What if they had 100 ping pong balls and and they take the top
100 and quarter finals and and you know they have your region
it's just the. Region The Hopper method.
Right, yes. And then they just pull it out,
right? Three people in the top one.
100. They get three ping pong balls,
right? Europe has 50 people in the top
100. They get 50 ping pong balls and
then we just dude, that would be so fun every single year.
Are you kidding me? We would all tune.
Into the show. I love this idea because I can.
Put it through. This right now.
I could put it in heat one, I'd be like, OK, what's the next?
Ball. Yes, 100% one. 100 what?
You could throw that on the. So down for that.
You could throw that on the CrossFit Games Podcast, like
that would be killer. Objectively.
How many people would watch? This is way worse of an idea,
but it's more fun and it's less complicated, you see, like you
can go with the worst idea. You can't be mad.
You cannot be mad. It's all chance.
Well, well, like one. It's performance.
It's real time performance, but then you you're covered on your
DEI. Like you know what I'm saying?
It's by chance that Asia got no P.
Well, they get their, they get their one guarantee.
They get their. One and then 95 ping pong.
Then you have 33 other allocations, so you pick 33 out
of the 100. You have a hopper already.
Right. We don't want decades ago.
Dude, I am so down to do this. We should just we should just
makeshift this and see what happens.
See what it looks like, yeah. How is it?
Never mind. I won't go there.
Can you believe, can you could you could just see like Castro
reaching for the first ping pong pong and the first region going
to the games Asia and everyone's like.
What the freak is? This and then and then and then
and then. You know, we get faster.
We get faster after that. First, the second one, Asia,
yeah. No, no, no.
It wouldn't be like that. But it could.
It could. I don't know the the stats on
that but. I think this is the greatest
idea ever. I I I'm going to you know what
I'm going to e-mail boss. This is what you all should do.
OK. And and and why would you not be
for it? You know, I think it would get
more, it would get more people than the open announcement to
watch 100. Percent.
Would you be upset if that's what they did?
It would leave. It would be so exciting to see
who gets in. Like if it's top 100 at
quarterfinals, quarter finals is very important.
But I mean, I think they did a solid job on the programming as
far as who's where and then you just get ping pong balls by your
ranking in the top 100 of the quarter finals.
I love it. Dude, make Alpen.
It's simple. Though, because he's going to be
mad that we're not doing it statistically, yeah.
Yeah, you know it's funny dude, we we went from helping helping
you do it to like I've just abandoned happen all together
and just went with ping pong balls and just.
Went with ping pong. Balls.
Oh man, I'm sorry Mike, that but that ping pong balls are so much
more fun. The best idea?
I like it. Are you upset about the smaller
regions? Tyler?
Getting a spot. Yeah dude, even though we just
we just spent 5 minutes on the arguing for a worse way to do
this, it's not. Worse.
Immediately like I just I this how did they not go to the
review and be like yeah this is not how this should work, this.
Right. That that's my concern about if
you don't announce it before the season starts, you don't know if
they looked at it and weighed which direction they should go,
right? You have to do it before this
results are in because you don't like if.
If. If everything is done and now
you've maybe run two scenarios, we don't know.
And it would be like, it would be like if we did the the
election right And then and then the government was like, all
right, but this year we're not counting Kentucky.
Like we just we're going to throw that out and everybody's
like, makes sense, makes sense. Dude, but like, listen, you know
who's making that video? Hiller's making that video,
right? So you would have one Hiller
conspiracy video and then everybody else is just excited
about the ping pong balls. And it's a conspiracy.
It's nothing you did right now. Everything is about what
CrossFit did and why they're wrong and why they suck, right.
Everything is about that. They can't win this way.
You got one guy who's just making videos all the time, and
he will. But like, I think you can ride
with that because I can't say it's a conspiracy.
Asia got three people. They had three balls and three
balls got picked. You just wait the balls.
If you wanted to get picked, you just wait the ball like I'm
already cheating. Yeah, but I'm not going to put
CrossFit in that. Situation.
Now Dave's only up and up. He'll.
He'll he'll take care of it. Have Sevon pick the ping pong
balls. Oh, he'll cheat for sure.
He'll look at that one and be like, no, we're not doing that
one. I like it.
I want to do that. I think it's better than the
Dawn method, personally. Dear Healer, replicate this on
your YouTube channel. We just want to see what
happens. What?
What the makeup would be?
Well, it's not exciting. Like if you don't, if it's not
like for real, like you just got a guy picking pong balls out.
I really just want to know the result, right?
I don't want to watch him pick ping pong.
Balls. Well, he can.
He can edit that speed through it, right?
Right. But like, I just want to see the
result. But like if it was legit.
Dude, I'm watching every single people.
Yeah, every athlete. Are you going to have to change
the thumbnail for? This to just ping pong all right
all. Right all.
Right, let's let's if it's the hunt or not, right?
When I said not, I've already said it, I say Mike or ping pong
should be in the category. I mean when the DA hunt, it's
not the hunt because when the DA Hunt came out we we fixed it ten
ways before they even started using it.
So sure not. Yeah.
My concern is, again, we've had one method, We've had a second
method. We don't know what it's going to
look like in the future. This has the potential where the
smaller regions just keep chipping away at Europe and
North America and like unfairly because we don't know how many
points are awarded in semi finals now for the points, but
because they get more spots, they're going to get more
points. Somebody bring in Drew Carey.
In more yes they but they do matter and then as they as they
get more points in semifinals, that's where you gain and move
up the rankings. So next thing you know like
Africa get an extra 1 next year like Asia could get an extra
like this could be a snowball effect if we keep it and they're
just not there yet. But again, it go go the lottery
system with the ping pong balls. I'm I'm totally down for that.
I like it. It's literally my favorite idea
all year. All right.
Give John Europe. He's been itching for it for 10
minutes. Yeah.
All right. Next topic because I mean I
think we could talk about that and just kind of go in circles,
but what we've all come here for European predictions, do you
want to talk about Asia do? You want to get Asia out of the
way? I'm down to get Asia out of the
way. It's.
All right, so we all we all good with say here on #1?
Yes. #2 Are We All good with Sung Young Choi?
Yes, actually no. I want Seung Young to go #1 and
say heirs too. OK, that's that's fine.
OK, cool. They still go and they get 1/3.
#3 I know a lot of people are all high on Anastasia da da da
Nova. However, you say her last name,
but I'm not going to bet against Dejuan Young.
I mean. I it's.
It's it's I kind. Of have to right.
I kind of have to bet on family. I might even watch the Asia Semi
final just to see if she's doing it.
OK, but. Speaking of watching the semi
finals, I watched Asia a little bit last year.
The stream is actually pretty good.
I don't know what they're doing again this year, but all of the
small regions had a good live stream last year, and all of
them streamed all of the events last year, So I wouldn't knock
all of these small regions. Oh, I'm not knocking.
Sorry, I had this show that. I'm not knocking their
marketing. No, yeah, I I think it, yeah,
I'm, I'm, I'm on the young train Dejuan, young train for Asia
Tyler. Sounds.
Nice on the men's side, men's. Side.
Mortez's going to qualify, and there's different there's.
Different people we can pick for.
I got to tell this story. Adam texted me about this in the
Heat One app. So as many people are or were a
couple days ago, as many people are playing Asia as they are
Europe, which is wild. But he said that Ant is getting
all the votes for the the best pick for all the OR all the
events but in the top, whatever we have in there.
He's got second and. What's bad is it's not going to
come true on any of that, except maybe event 3.
No, he's just the only athlete that people know.
People know, yeah. It's pretty good at running
though, I think, so he'll have a good chance at one, yeah.
Dude, but it's just how. How do you?
Pick him for first. Winning everything.
And then you pick him for 2nd. It's mortisa in first.
My number one is Mortisa. I'll have to check.
Yeah, same mortisa. All right, Tyler.
Sounds good. Good chances in.
All right. Number number.
All right. Spin.
Who do you have #2? I have aunt all.
Right, My #2 is Yvonne Kakatsusov.
Yes, because he did so well in quarters.
Yep. Yeah, I've never heard of him
on. Maybe he's just a guy that's
coming out of nowhere, you know what I mean?
He did do really, really good at quarterfinals, and maybe he's
just, you know, a guy that we don't know about.
But maybe he's Asia's guy, You know what I mean?
Maybe. But and then my #3 is Ant you.
Mean more teases. Backfill again.
Yeah, yeah. I'm going to go with Ilyas
Kuliov. That's a cool name.
Tyler, are you good with those? Do you have a reason he took
fifth in the quarterfinals? OK.
Solid. I'm going to listen to the fans
and I'm going to go with Arthur Semenov.
He was number one last year.
He's. He's probably.
Get a really good snatch, too. He'll probably win the snatch
workout. This actually I I should check
these after the event's over to see how far the fans were off,
because I'd imagine the people who are playing in the E1 app
are way more educated, like who are actually playing Asia are
way more educated on Asia than I.
I don't. I think they.
Have you don't think so? No, I think they have three
spots and they're like, wow, like.
I can nail this. Maybe I go perfect, you know
what I mean? Like, yeah, you could not know
people and just pick three random names at the top.
Well, well, see Kiefer, He knows more than you about that.
Dude. We'll see.
Kiefer. I know, I know.
Archer's got like a £300 snatch. I don't know really anything
about Ivan other than he did really good quarterfinals.
But we'll so we'll see. I would have bet against you.
I would say you know more than I do.
I'm pretty sure that's how you pronounce it, Kenneth.
See is it semenoff? It's Semenoff Semenoff.
I'm from the South, the host take that.
Excuse Jake Turner. I played Asia and I just guessed
pretty much, I think a lot. Got to go to his chances.
Anybody. That's right.
I want to answer. Melanie can we pick in he one?
Tyler, I'm having trouble finding it.
Yes, go. To the game.
There's only two games, right? There's you.
Pick the top ten and you. Yeah.
So for Asia it's top five and then for for Europe it's top
twelve, I think, yeah. Then there's a whole bunch of
prop bets. And then there's Shot Caller,
which includes the event picks and some of our prop bets.
You can also create your own games with your friends.
And keep your, keep your. I know he works with you guys,
but that's what I'm saying is you know more about him than I
do because I don't know anything about him other than
quarterfinals and you work with them, right?
Melanie, go to our Instagram, follow the links and update your
app. If you're having trouble on the
app, please update and then reach out to me.
I have a question for Kiefer. What?
What does it say? Hot like a hurricane?
That's. Yeah, I'm thinking about making
a shirt, Travis, if you want to make a shirt, we should talk.
She is a bad girl. I forget that's not real every
time. That's actually really.
Good. That's the shirt you want to
make. That's.
Your That's your Games fundraiser shirt.
I I don't. I don't like that shit.
We should. Have.
Instead of John 316 we should do.
JY 316. 10 commandments and just it's 10 different things.
Yes. I kind of like that.
I kind. Of like that.
John's 10 commandments. Yeah #1.
Europe is trash. Really.
Asia is trash. #3 Ricky Garage is going to win The Crosby #3
you are on crack. 10. It's a good chance is anyone I
like. That that's funny.
That is funny. All right.
So last week, John went through his pick predictions.
We didn't know how many were going to make it in.
This week, we're going to go line by line of quarterfinals.
John, you can make adjustments to your picks and then Tyler and
I will also weigh in. As we walk down the leaderboard
of quarter finals and we'll say who's in, who's out and how
many, so we'll get get to 10 each.
So, first one on the leaderboard, Yonukowski Does he
qualify? Yeah, I think he'll have a.
Hard time. But I think he'll sneak in
there. There you go.
Second place, Victor Hoffer. Rookie appearance.
Yes. I'm into is there any chance
that we're over rating this guy and he comes out and bombs?
I don't think. I don't think so, man.
I've heard from other people like, like coaches, coaches that
like, you know are with elite athletes and all of them say the
same thing. Like Victor's the real deal.
And like, I think if we just see him on Instagram and like one of
us is hyping him up, but like I I have heard from multiple
people that Victor is like legit and that like I think he's, I
think he's going to surprise a lot of people.
Chris Trials, I don't care anybody about anyone other than
the top 15. Oh, is that me?
It's one of the high quotes. It's a JY quote.
I. Think I said 20.
We top half. Yeah.
I. I wanted to answer the you.
Want to answer how often? I think people are over hyping
him. I don't think he'll get as high
as it seems, people seem to think, but he'll qualify.
So OK, I somewhat agree on that. So like it will like when I met
my games, predictions like Victor won't be super high, but
I think he's a shoo in to make the games.
But he's not like I don't think I'll put him top 20.
If he finishes second in. You don't.
Care No. No, I mean no.
It says something like for sure but I just amongst the games
field he he won't like I won't predict him to maybe he doesn't
he's the next you know BKG. But I just I don't see it.
I think he's a shoe in to make the games.
I think he's the real deal, but like at the games, I don't think
he's got top ten potential at least this year.
You know, say he gets like 17th and wins two events that are
like, you know, like Colton Merton's esque performance,
then, then, then I'll hype him up more.
But. Do you do you think he will be
fighting for one of the last spots on Sunday?
No, no, I think where I have him.
Let me let me check real quick. Tyler, what do you think he'll
do? You think Victor will have to be
fighting for it the last day, like there's 50% of the points
are available there. He hasn't done his handstand
walk. I have him 6th.
I think he'll he will not be comfortable, but it's not like I
don't think he'll be like, oh shit, like I cannot screw up at
all. OK.
I think he'll be comfortable going to the last event.
See you still got. To work hard.
I mean sixth, yeah. 6th place you're going to be, you're going
to be there. You had him at 6th?
Yeah. No, that's where, that's where
John did, yeah. That's where I have him.
Were we allowed to say that right now?
You can. Say wherever you Yeah, we're
we're not we're not putting them in rankings That doesn't.
That's right. That's right.
Who's in, Who's out? That's my thing BKG.
Yeah. In Yes, Moritz Phi big, Yes B
big. I struggled with this one, maybe
I shouldn't. I think he will be.
So he's the a guy that I think will struggle to the end, but
he's also a guy that I think will send that bike at the end
and then come through like he might need.
He. I don't think he'll need like a
Cole Sager S performance, but he'll need to be, you know he'll
need to do something and I think he'll be top five because I
think he'll send that bike and then he'll he'll, you know,
lunge it out to the. Yeah.
He he's a quiet guy. I think he got second last year
in semifinals. I want to say third.
In semifinals. Last year.
He got third. 3rd So I mean very
good performance. Yeah.
This is a very different year though.
It is. Very different, yeah.
So yeah, I. I had him, he was like one of
the last ones I had in. So I think I agree with you,
John, like it's going to come down to.
Well, I haven't made. Yeah, I have them coming like
probably 10th, right? So, like, it'll probably come
down to the final. Do they get 10 or 11?
10. OK.
Yep, 1010 for men and 10 for women.
Based on the the, the, the handy dandy line we have here in the
Heat One app. Gotcha, gotcha.
Thank you. That is handy dandy it.
Is. Do you have How are people
voting for a few big is? He.
Up there. He has a ADP of 7.2 and that is
probably within the top eight, OK.
That's what 7.2 means. Yes, not.
No it doesn't. Average drafted position.
Yes. Yeah, like could be behind that,
like 5. Guys have like 7 point
something. Oh, OK.
Aniol Ikai. So I predicted him to.
But seeing as they lost the spot, yeah, I'm going to say no.
Tyler. I think he's the last one out.
Agreed. I don't think he's the last one
out, but he's close. He's not.
He'll be top 20. Yes.
But I don't. I don't have him in there top
11. I was big on him last year and
then he kind of let me down, like he just didn't do a whole
lot, so. Now you hate him.
I know, yeah. No, I feel, yeah, that's how I
am with Valner. Right.
Burn me once, you know burn me twice.
Your Tyler Christian to me. So.
What's Bush say? Fool me once, same on you, Fool
me. Twice.
Can't fool me again. Joe Biden is Joe Biden is fooled
me once and fool the God Bless America.
Nika Mazzarazzi. No shot.
Is he outside the top 20? Yes, I don't know about that,
but but he's that's where he's around.
If y'all want to know more about Nico Mazarazzi, go on the Be
Friendly podcast. I'm sure they talk all about
him, but we will not be talking. About him.
Because I don't think he's got a shot.
He won't he? No, he's out.
He's out. Yeah, that's the most.
Condescending shit I've ever heard in my life.
Why? Why?
It just was. They will talk, but if you want
to know more about him, they will talk about him.
That's true. I don't.
Have enough. That's it.
We won't make a thing out of it. It's fine.
I I didn't know what to do with him.
'Cause we? Just don't have enough data on
him. He's not strong enough.
He'll come dead last in the and not dead last, but he will not.
He will not do good in the snatch workout at all.
You cannot be bottom 30 in an event.
You can't, and he's going to be. This this is where I look at it.
We don't know much about him. He did the second best in Europe
on the burpee wall ball workout. That's cool.
That's. Almost a that that means he's.
Some type of burpee ninja who's really good at that type of
stuff and it's not going to translate into an in person semi
final. 100%, that's that's. How I That's how I kind of look
at it. Guillain.
Brien, I'm going to. Say no.
He's out for me. He is out for me.
There's no swimming. Yeah, 16th Fabian Benito.
I'm going to say yes. What happened to the celis?
Is he no longer Celis? That's that's his competition
corner name. Oh, the game's name.
It's only a beneath alias. Nice.
Yeah. Yeah, Fabian.
It's like Karen Freyova is Karen Freyova on the games, which is
Kara Frey, right? Just to kind of mix it up.
Fabian is not going to quality, he's just on the outs for me.
I got him in. I agree with Tyler.
Yeah. Jon's are going to.
Agree again, somewhere, somewhere down the line.
That's what that means. So Jon has Fabian.
So you Jon, you have five guys in right now.
I do. And then Tyler and I both have
4:00, next one at #9 oldest upennix.
Yes. I got him.
Too, And this is a dark horse. A dark horse.
If you're listening, Will, this is a dark horse to win event
one. Yeah, I don't think he.
I don't. I don't think he will.
I don't think he will either. But he is a dark horse to win
event one. Dude's a great runner.
He's a little bitty. So, like, if he cycles that
barbell well enough, he'll be faster than everybody else.
When Chase is live streaming this thing and you're just
staring at him for three minutes, oldest will be the
first one back into the stadium. Yeah.
And then he'll do the clean jerks and he will not be the
first one out of the stadium. But that's OK.
You might make it one round. You can make up so much time on
that run though. I think Lazar and Yonah are just
going to battle on that workout. I think those two are going to
go head to head. Lazar will be the better runner,
but not by much, and Yonah will be the better cycler, but not by
much. And Yola will be the best
runner. Yes, I'm not.
I'm not talking about Yola, Yonah, Koski and and Lazar.
Yella, dude. Yella.
Should murder that workout, but the problem is Tyler's got a
better cleaning jerk than Yella does, so it's hard for me to say
he's going to kill it. It just is.
All right, we got Fabian, oldest Alex Catullus.
Nope. No, not for me.
I don't think so. Let me check.
Measure Maybe. No, he's not.
Hairy Lightfoot. Lightfoot.
More like heavy foot, no shot. No chance, I don't.
Know why I want to like this kid, but he's not.
I'm sorry Harry, that was real mean.
But it's because you got Ben Stiller as your freaking thing.
BB put your freaking. Face on there.
No, I don't. I don't like the profile.
Put fake pictures on their profiles.
Confuses you, huh? No, I just.
I don't know. I don't.
Know why I don't like it if people ever watch like Colin
Cowherd, Like he hates when quarterbacks wear their hat
backwards. Like, he's like immediately this
quarterback will not be successful.
And for. And for some.
Reason Idiot. Look at him.
For some reason, like 90% of the time he's absolutely right.
It ends up not working out. And that's how I feel about not
having your own picture on the on your profile all.
Right, Kevin Jurors. You're not making it.
There you go. John's been practicing.
These all. He was ready.
Tyler. No.
Is Heat one anybody picking him in heat one or are they well
down the list because nobody knows him?
He's got AADP of 18. It's well down the list.
It's about it's about halfway. And run a Slaw or Linkowitz.
No brownie and it hurts. Me.
No. For John, it hurts.
Me. He's the second person now.
Put your headphone or take your headphones off Kiefer.
I did not pick Braun. And I did not either.
Sorry Kiefer. Now you could all change my mind
on on Friday after the first run if he shows that he's been
improving and gets a top 10. Yeah, Ron gets topped in.
And that work I'll I'll change my mind too.
Now you did this workout, John, I did.
Actually you both did this one. Tyler.
Today. Tyler And he told me he'd be.
Tyler may have thought he was a little too good at running.
Yeah, I've been having two issues this week.
So sorry, John. Louis.
I wouldn't say I got buried. I think I had a respectable
score on that. You said you were going to
murder that thing and finish well under the time cap.
Yeah, and he did not. They would have pulled you off
the. Board, you want to talk about
it, Tyler? Yeah, it's.
I mean, it's a wild workout. I don't know what you want to
say about it, like. It's crazy how heavy your legs
get after they're cleaning jerks, huh?
Yes, it that that it's a very weird.
It's not a weird work. It's very simple.
But it's like what I thought was great about it is that the
snatch workout is the antithesis of that workout.
Like they mirror each other. You have something that's really
long, and it's sort of, it vastly favors the faster person.
Because I think even. But you're the faster one
compared to Jon. Right.
But yeah, I think, well, I think Jon's just fitter than me,
period. No.
Like, I think like we run a 5K. Tyler will probably beat me, but
my overall capacity, like, I'm just better.
So he's a better runner. But I'm just fitter.
So like the more tired we get, the more that gaps.
Yeah, like my my run slowed hardcore and like, whereas if I
was like trying to be competitive, I would have
probably really tried to, like stay diligent and not to let
that slow. But regardless, like, it's still
going to vastly favor somebody who can run, but it's but you
still have to be strong enough to, like, not slow down on that.
Whereas the snatch workout is the exact opposite.
You have to be strong, but the fitness, like you have to have
the fitness a little bit. You see what I'm saying?
You can't just be strong. Right.
They are mirror opposites of each other.
I like that. I get that.
Yeah, Like if you're not strong at all, you're going to suffer
on the first one. But if you were not fit at all,
you'll suffer on the snatch one. No, I like that.
I like that comparison. When you think about because
they're going to reshuffle the the heats and what I'm hearing
is it'll be two heats of 20 to start it off.
Boy, that's stressful. So but then on Saturday day two
they'll start doing the the four heats of 10.
Do we think that the final heat on Saturday is representative of
who qualifies or we gonna have to see some people who start off
really poorly and have to work their way up on Saturday,
Saturday? You're talking about the top 20
on the 1st? I'm saying is it representative?
I'm saying that after the first day, right?
First event. Just one event.
One event, then they'll reseed it, right?
And then they'll put them into their four heats for for
Saturday. Is the top Heat representative?
No. Top he's not representative.
No, you. Think there's going to be some
anomalies like we see like in the open first workout, just
some guys that kind of are freaks at running.
Yeah, one. 100 and then they just fall off the leaderboard
after. Yeah, yo, Nico Mazarovski might
do something in event one. And then?
Then he's gone. Those, Yeah.
I don't think we see him after the front squat workout.
I'm interested to see how I feel tomorrow.
I don't know how you felt, John, but as far as recovery goes,
like he was fine. The The thing I worry about is
the legs on the snatch. Like, are your legs going to be
really smoked by that last day? I would say it just depends how
strong you are. Like I felt my legs, nothing.
Like what was sore on me was my pulling like from the legless
rope climb workout. I did like this rope climb where
God, my pulling muscles were like, I I'm not real sore but I
could feel them and then those ring muscle UPS weren't as good
as they could have been. You know what I mean?
Like, I so. But if you're really good at
pulling like you're not going to feel any soreness.
I didn't feel much soreness really at all, but I had a day
in between on on one of them, so that probably had a big deal,
big, big deal towards that. All right.
So we're down. John.
You're you have 6 already. Tyler and I have 5.
Luis Negatory trailer. Cuellar.
Cuellar.
No chance. What?
Where is he from? Spain, Spain 22 Young guy.
And he doesn't. Have his picture in his avatar
I. Hate this.
He's out. Damn it he.
Doesn't Then he's out. He's out, Luca.
Let's click on Luca Dukic. See, that's a man that's going
to make it, you see there, because he's in his freaking
profile. Luca.
Yes. Yes, Sir.
I have him as well. OK, good.
I'm stoked. I hope some freak accident
doesn't happen. It's about damn time.
Both these jukic. Last year he was sick and then
had to withdraw. There is a lot of, like, weird
things that happen that make them both not in it, yeah.
Drives me nuts. Yeah, last year he was with
Misfit. Of course you're always going to
say he's, you know, ready, primed, feeling good, and then
he came in and was sick. But I like these workouts for
him. I think both him and and Lazaro
will be pretty, pretty similar on some of them.
Colin Beauchard. Want to say no?
Tyler Oh yeah, no. I have him going.
He's going to suffer on the
snatch workout, too. Nope, it's.
And I'm going to tell you something, those 100 LB
dumbbells, they ain't going to feel very good, man.
He can get through it. He'll get through it.
I think he's one of those guys
who will probably see him near the top at the beginning, but
he'll hang on. It'll be he'll be sliding down
the leaderboard and then have he'll be one that's holding off
Moritz at the very end, Fabian Herman.
Not Moritz, Fabian. Fabian Herman's.
No, no, no, you. Oh, no, I think, oh, I think, I
think because we talked about Moritz having to, like, battle
back the last one, that's where Colin will have to hold him off,
right? Like.
He'll have to finish within a certain number of spots to kind
of keep him from getting past. Yeah, OK.
Fabian Herman's. No.
We probably shouldn't speed up a
little bit. Yellow, Yellow.
I'm going to. Say yes, but I think, I think
it's going to be harder than he than people think.
I think Yellow is going to have a tough time this weekend, but I
think he's fit enough to still make it.
I. Don't know.
I'm on the. I think he'll make it easier
than you think and I have no backing information for that
other than IPS. Tyler.
Of a. 1265, I don't know. Yeah, that, that.
Again, I don't think he loses a whole lot of spots in Europe
because of it. Yeah, that's right.
No. Yeah.
No. So I he's a guy that I bet if he
was in a different region, he does not make it right.
But since Europe is so freaking weak, he still gets in.
Luka Vunjek. No.
Michael Wazelowski Does he
return? No.
No Henrik Hepolina. Yes, yes.
Yes, all right. And I have he.
Is my pick to win event 6. OK, really.
Dude, that guy can send it, man. That guy's one of the best
senders. On the but but on like.
On the muscle UPS. Everybody.
Can OK, you're right on the bike and you're right on.
Everybody can do 15 ring muscle UPS and he's long.
That's a long. That's a long as oldest.
That's a longest man. All right.
So John, you and I both have. We have 9.
Tyler, you still have two guys left?
Are you saying Heinrich or no? Yes.
Yep. Enrique.
Enrico Zanoni. No.
No, Tyler Tom Kingdon. The Tom Kingdon?
Oh man. I want to say yes and.
Is that him? This is the first time that.
Is Tom that is Tom. He should have had something
else other than his. Yeah, I don't.
I'm. Looking at that.
I was going. To say he looks.
Going to make it but just. Because that face, I'm not going
to say like he's out. I think he'll do better with
than we I I mean, people don't really know him.
I think he'll do pretty well, but he's not.
I don't think he's going to the game.
What's your backing on that? When I spoke to him, he he was
just. He spoke to him.
Yeah, I spoke with him. He told me he was going to do.
Yeah, he told me he was going to do really good.
I do. He's going to do well, but he's
he's trying to get experience. He wants to hang with the big
guys, but but his goal, he'd never said that.
His goal was to get to the games, he said.
His goal eventually is go to the games, but not this season, so
yeah. Michael Smith, I think he's
neighbors with Pedro. No.
Yes. Yes.
You have Michael Smith making it.
Yes, OK, all right. I want to scroll all the way
down and save some time. There we go.
Laser. I got Lazar making it.
Now is there, Do you have anybody else there, Tyler?
He's got M dog. Go down, go down.
Who's the M dog? Say that name real quick for me.
Gregor's Mariskiewicz. Mariskiewicz.
Yeah. You just got to say it with.
Condo Polish name. Do you have somebody else?
No. Lawrence, Luca.
Michael. Oldest.
We're good. All right, on to the women.
Did we? Did you just miss one that I
said. Oh shit.
You're right there. All right, women.
Gabby, I'm gonna do it live. You didn't make the women.
Well done, Gabby. Yes.
Yes, Tyler. When when spin's not here.
You got to be more prepared, man.
If. You.
I know. If if I can't be, I can't be
pulling the show. I can't even.
Thinking and Travis like you got to be ready.
I can't even say anything because Spin has been as busy as
I have this week and I've just. Been a nightmare this week for
me. He's got a whole family.
You got a just a new wife. I have. 2 cats dude, You have no
cats take care of themselves. You don't.
Even. Have to do anything.
They breathe on your face, Laura Horvath.
Yes, yeah, I think she probably makes it.
Barely. Who wins, Gabby or Laura?
Laura. I must say easily.
Laura easily. Now.
Oh, sorry. Yeah.
Laura, sorry. Mana.
Handstand push ups in this. Man and Inganese.
Yes. Yes.
I struggled with her. She was my last one in.
But I always. Surprises me, though, like she's
kind of somebody you don't think about and then she she's always
up there. She's very quiet, Never really
does, never wins. Anything.
Yes. Yeah.
And that's all. Yes.
Emma McQuaid.
Yes. Yes.
Elisa Fuliano. No.
I'm never betting against her. I I am with Tyler on this one.
I'm sure she returns. That's fine.
I think she's my first person out.
Dude, she's she's one of those. She's like, it's not the same
sort of way, but it's like Sam Quant, Like I never have faith
that he's going to do well and he does well every time.
I would not put her with Sam Quant, but it's.
Like it's. A poor.
A poor Sam Quant. It's it's just it's a totally
different thing. But it's the same thing where
you you underestimate them and then they're they're always.
Like Brent the Kowski or somebody like that.
Yeah. Claudia Gluck.
I yeah, you got it. You got it.
I I really wanted to put her in, but I did not.
Tyler. No.
No, not for me. Jackie Dahlstrom.
There's no no Lane 8 runner. That should be good.
That's the only reason she's only making it 'cause she's
there's no. There's no runner.
Yeah, absolutely. I I I really is she still with
Singleton? Yes.
No, she's she's doing training with HWPO, putting her.
Together, I really hope like that they bought a runner and
like put it in their house and then he just put a big sign that
says Lane 8 on it. And like, she just made her
stare at it running on that runner every single day.
That's what I hope. That's what I hope she did, but
all right. That did.
So you have her in Tyler and I do not.
So you have 7 in there. Talk to John Karen Friova.
Yes. Yes, yes.
Elena Caratala, Sanahua. Sanah Noah.
I was like, that's not how you
say it. No, no, not.
For me, Amy Kringle. I think she'll be up there, but
I said no. Yes, last spot.
Oh, OK. Sylvia Garcera is Guerdo.
You didn't say no or yes, Brian, no.
No. She's out.
No. No.
Holly Tynan. Nope.
Emily Lundberg.
Nope. Nope.
Pedro's other neighbor, Lucy. I'm going.
To go on a limb and I'm and I think Tyler said yes and I'm
going to say no. No, Lucy.
Oh, he said. No, OK.
Not this year. Next year, she doesn't no
mirror. Mirror allowed me to reintroduce
myself. Von Rohr.
I went to the CrossFit Games. MVR.
Hook. It Tyler.
No. And I I feel really bad because
I don't like my picks now because I keep agreeing with
Tyler. Oh, that is rough.
Yeah. Screw you, John.
Listen. I I'm buying into the hype on
Mirror Helm. I and I I feel bad about it.
It usually never goes good. I like when when somebody's like
on the rise and I hate it. I tell you all the time, quarter
finals don't matter, Brian. Open doesn't matter, Brian.
I tell you all the freaking time.
Except for mirror helm. And and I I want her to do it so
bad because I was so mean to her.
So now, now I'm like, I'm all on it.
You go get it. Mirror him.
If there's one person who I don't care if she ruins my
predictions and heat one, it's mirror him.
It's. Mirror him.
And like I just I just have a. Feeling that that she has the
capabilities but she's not been in position enough and she's
going to fall short. It's certainly a possibility.
I think I have her 9th like I have her one of the last spots
that. I mean, I I I do think the first
workout's good enough. Like, I don't think she's a
amazing runner compared to everybody, but she's going to be
good. She'll be fine.
She's great at squatting. We know this.
She'll be really good at event too.
And then from there, like I I I'm worried that she's going to
be OK and then snatch. Like the snatch is where I think
she gets buried and she has to be doing very well heading into
that. See, I'm banking that a lot of
the girls get buried and it just doesn't hurt.
Like the yellow argument. It just.
Doesn't hurt her as much as it should.
Yeah, I. Don't think for the women, I
think it'll be a bit easier for the women.
That's what I'm banking on. You don't think she'll out?
Snatch Andrea Solberg. They'll tie cap plus one.
Andrea Solberg. No.
Not for me. No.
You count how many people are behind her?
Three. No, sorry. 3 Helliga daughter.
Yes, Terry Helliga daughter is my last spot in.
She is going to make the CrossFit Games once again.
I've written these down so I don't know where I am, but I
feel like Terry is going to make it.
That is your 8th pick, so you have two more after this 3.
Jennifer Muir. Nope.
I have Jennifer Muir making it. Yeah, Jennifer Muir making it
you're so, I mean, you ride the momentum of her, you know what I
mean? Like we're just riding different
momentum. She was close last year.
I know, but like you know, she did the, she did the thing that
we weren't allowed to stream. Like, I mean, I feel like we're
just on different teams but like same same but same like content.
I think it's really easy in these regions that have 10 plus
athletes to go to pick with those who have been there
before, right? Like if we know that there's a
lot of turnover like just things happen and and a veteran fails,
they get hurt they get they're out and that new rookie comes in
and I'm saying that Jennifer is probably one of those rookies
who is the next one in and that's why I have her in there.
It's not like she's shown anything specifically that would
say, yeah, she's obviously going to be in there, but I, I I just
have a hard time picking 10 veterans because we know that
there's going to be rookies to go in.
Let's see. You go down a little bit Brian,
you're. Going to keep going down.
Yeah, I mean, we're not even like no.
No Connie Eastby. No, Connie needs to not go to
the games. Sarah is.
Sarah's out. Rebecca Venison.
There we go. Yes, on Rebecca.
Venison. Yes.
So is that all? That's all for you guys, right?
That's your 10. If you say so.
I'm going all the I'm going all the way down for my last pick.
Oh man, Ella Wilkinson. Ella Wilkinson, another rookie.
All right. Larry Young.
Just like last year, John missed Vidison.
I just said that she was going to make it.
So your dad is disagreeing that he thinks she's not going to
make it. Yeah, I guess he hates Rebecca
Vidison. I just said she was going to
make it. I mean like I can see both
arguments. Man, I saw those devil eyes at
Watapalooza and it's hard for me to bet against that.
I I think she's consistent enough.
I think. I think a lot of times when you
do make it to the games you you do build that confidence.
So I'm saying she's in. So that is all 10.
All right, quickly maybe. Jamie.
Jamie, congratulations on making the CrossFit Games as a as a
master. Jamie.
Congratulations, girl. Not officially yet.
Don't, Jinxer.
Don't. Jinxer on unofficially making
the games. If you moved poorly, that is on
you, you're trash. But hopefully that's not.
Hopefully that's not the case. Jamie, listen girl, you need to
get with Jy Barbell. Oh my God.
I can make you strong and that is where you struggle.
And I'm I just. I feel for you.
I want you to be great. All right?
And that's it. That's it.
You won't have to. Worry about honesty with.
Jones Shameless plug, shameless plug.
All right, you guys are on your own for the event picks.
You can also probably go to Sivan, what is it, 8:30 Central.
So 30 minutes after this, you guys might talk through the
events that means. We'll also have a show coming
out just for that. There you go, Blind ranking
time. First of all, mantasleep use
code spin 10% off. If you missed the first part of
the show this week, the topic is live stream once.
I would like to see it. So this is as you think about a
live stream, what is the most important elements of having a
live stream for semifinals, specifically semifinals.
So rank these items as the most important to you.
First one. Athlete stories, interviews,
etcetera on the live stream. It me and John are going to
disagree about this, it should be more important.
I don't care about your story because.
You're a freaking psycho. I I I do like the interviews.
So like, you're kind of twisting my arm here because if
interviews go into that. It does.
Like I like the post game interviews and I'm going to earn
the post workout interviews and I think they're awesome and
especially whenever people want to actually do them and not just
give PC answers. And like, you know, Colton
Mertens is probably the best interviewer in all of CrossFit
after he wins an event. I could care less about whose
mom died or whose grandma Cheers are on every single day.
Or, you know, and I'm like, it's great, It's great.
I'm glad it motivates you. I don't care.
I I just don't. And I I might be the minority on
that and I might be cold hearted, but I don't care.
The pressure of winning. When when that freaking story
about Justin came out, oh man, I'm scared because people think
I should win. Don't freaking win, Justin.
Like what do you? Freaking see this though, John.
You see how much you have right now, like.
No, I. Hate it to your entertainment.
So. Freaking much?
OK, It makes you hated that one as a person.
Yes. They're going to use whatever as
an excuse when they don't win. You know, I I it's not an
excuse. Right now you know that, whereas
you would not have known that. Before you know what's a good
freaking story is. Getting banned, that I know.
Banned from the sport that you love.
Everybody hates you. Everybody, like just gives you
little juice signals on every single Instagram post you make
because because you cheated and you know it and you're the only
one to admit it. You didn't eat any Icelandic
meat. You said no, I took it.
I should be banned for four years and then you do your time
and then you come back and then you win and you're the fittest
man in the world, clean. That's a good story.
But you don't see Rick Ricky's not saying this is my story.
It's just organically what it is.
This right here is exactly how I feel we should make a concerted
effort in the off times. Make small, small little
interviews matter more. Small interviews during the
competition matter more, but yeah, you need to have a short
small interviews. 100% I like those are the what type of
stories that I like and then I'll I'll eat up into I don't
like the no I don't I don't know a name so I'm going to say this
girl's name but don't take any offense to it.
If Lauren Khalil tells me how Justin was depressed because
people were thinking he should win, like I don't need Lauren
Khalil telling me a story about an athlete I don't need like you
know, or or I don't want to be, I keep.
I think I'm talking to only Finnish people.
I don't. Care if Sean?
Woodland tells. Me, Who?
Whoever. I don't care about them reciting
a story that's on a freaking script to tell me about this
athlete. Like, behind the scenes, I want
raw stuff, right? I don't want some back in the
news. News version.
Where you put it, John? Where you putting it?
God, we're taking forever. Where you putting it?
We just. Got to We got to figure out what
we're doing right now. I know, John.
John's talking it out. He's got to get to the Yeah I'm.
Figuring out. I'm figuring stuff out right
now. I'm sorry, I got worked up about
that. I just thought about Justin
versus Colton and then trying to use those as two different
things that are alike and they're so not.
OK, I'll say 3. That actually would be a good
idea. It would be really cool to
watch, yeah. There's plenty of time in
between the events. And then warming up, you see
that stuff on the semi on podcast.
Yeah. I was 4.
Oh, I'm glad. I want athlete stories more than
you. OK, four, four.
That's fine. All right.
I think you agree with a lot of the fans out there.
All right, next one. Most important live stream
topics. The commentators.
Like we want good commentators. Like who?
Who's commentating the quality of it?
Like how much does the commentary add to your live
stream experience? It it.
It only adds when it's bad. That, yeah, it it can only be a
detriment. When they're great, you only
think you don't think about them.
Yeah, you don't think about them.
You're just like, oh, that's neat.
But they don't add. They should not.
But when it's bad, when it's bad, it's like, that's the only
like you're like, I can't. Well, you focus on it how?
Stupid. These people sound.
I was talking to somebody about personalities injecting
themselves into the sport when they're they're not athletes.
And that's a place where commentators don't know how to
tread that line. They'll inject themselves into
the sport instead of just like if you're in a band and you're
the drummer, no one came to watch you.
You are a support role. Play the support role.
Yes, yes. So that this is hard then
because when they don't, it's really important that that you
stop doing what you're doing and then.
But like you're a bad drummer, you're out of the bed.
You know immediately when the drummer's bad.
But they're important. Then I'm going to say they're
important. Whole bands, yeah.
I'm going to say they're important because if they were,
if they were bad, it'd be it'd be everything we're talking
about. Three.
That's why I say 3. Let's do 2 because it gives us
more, it gives us more flexibility.
OK. You see what I'm saying?
No, but OK. All right.
Next one, the camera quality. I've made John.
Man One. I don't know dude.
I love the grainy from the rafters.
Stop it. Stop it right now.
Yeah, that's probably #1. That's probably that's number
one, man. I don't know think about Souza
running around crash. But think about the think about.
Think about the CrossFit Games Masters coverage.
Yeah, it was so. It's counter quality.
It's unwatchable. And that's what I'm saying.
Like it's context dependent because when we when it was
Souza, no one gave a shit, but when it was the masters,
everyone gave a. Shit, I disagree.
I don't care about the, what is it called, the clarity?
The clarity. Yeah, I don't.
I don't care about the clarity. I want to see what's happening.
And that's a part of the camera quality.
And with Sousa, we're seeing everything that's happening.
We're just seeing him run around too.
So when you say quality, do you mean in action or in?
All of it. He means all of it.
Visual. That's for your definition of
what quality is. I'm saying all I'm saying.
It's everything. And I'm going to say one.
I think John's going to steamroll me on this and I'll go
with one I'll. I'll let you have.
Oh yeah, you'll let me have three or five.
Going back to commentators, how many of you guys watch it
without the commentary? Just mute it.
I I I might as well. When the commentator's good, I
like it a little more. But I mean, most of the time I
might as well 'cause I'm not really paying attention to what
they're saying. I I watched the commentary or
that that's the you can't watch the commentary I I have it with
the commentary on yeah. Well.
That that's why I struggled with the Rogue.
I struggled with the Rogue One, right, because like you had the
main feed, then you had this kind of Sidebar 1.
I started out with the sidebar and I quickly ended up going to
this, the main commentary, just so I would know where everybody
was on, like where they were on the field when you don't see
them. Dude, I'm a main, a mainstream
guy for everything. I I can't do the Manning cast
Like I I like the main thing. I like the color commentary.
I like the main guy, like I like it to be normal And I.
Will say that like when sevens, like when that the live stream
is going on and he's live and just talking, I'll have both
open. I'll listen to him and have the
games tab muted. And I like that a lot because
it's like watching it with your friends.
That is fair, but then we're the commentary.
Yeah, that's what I'm saying, yeah.
All right. Next one.
And we're important. That's why we're #2.
Full coverage, so coverage of all of.
All the events what we don't have #3.
See this should have been #1. I disagree, man.
I disagree. How the camera quality doesn't
matter if they're not fucking on.
If we can't see it, it doesn't matter what's on.
I don't understand. We agree, but we're yelling at
each other. I say three.
You say 3. All right, wait, yeah, I'm not
putting it in A5 all. Right.
Let's see how you guys did. We're screwed.
Having a Rep counter. No 05.
Five. OK, so like OK, what?
I I think Rep counter should be 4.
You're wrong. OK.
The Rep counter does a lot, man, because I, I, I don't have to
like. Without the Rep counter, I'm
like, where is everybody? Right, you can follow along if
somebody's in 3rd or 4th if they're moving up and.
I think that's theirs between me and you, just as people, because
you're watching what's happening and I'm trying to be like, see
like, oh, this person's gaining on this person.
I can see their reps go. I have seen very few and this is
the problem is is that I've seen very few Rep counters I like.
I mean the main games one. I don't know the Rep there's Rep
count. Yeah, the Rep counter usually
doesn't work too like there. I think the ones at Water
Palooza I really liked, but I generally, I don't think they're
accurate. I'll see them go up and then
come back down and it's just like if it's not going to work,
I don't want it at all. And so this is for the current
state. If you could get the Rep counter
right it would be really cool but.
I get that. I'm also willing.
I I really think this is just a difference in how our minds work
because my mind goes in my analyzing mode as soon as the
event starts. And the Rep counter is important
because I have no idea where anybody's AT.
And like yes I can like watch and try to see but I'm guessing
and you can't figure out people splits like along with the Rep
counter is the clock. You know what I mean?
And it has minus whatever like you, all that stuff.
You can do quick math the entire time on everybody.
You're thinking about you, who likes to analyze the sport.
That's what I'm saying. And I'm and and that's fair.
I'm thinking about, like when I'm thinking about athlete
stories, people, people get into the sport because of the athlete
stories. They don't get into it because
of the Rep Like if you're if you're someone who's never seen
CrossFit, you're not looking at the Rep counter.
You're like, what the hell? Like there's 365 lbs on the bar.
What's going on? You don't care about the Rep
counter. But you you said this athlete
stories should be behind the scenes and on podcast and we
should do a better job of talking about it.
That's not on a live stream. Yeah, but I remember sitting
with my dad and us watching the CrossFit Games and he's like,
who's this guy? And I'm like, that's Ben Smith.
He's from Virginia. I start telling the athlete
story and so it's like, OK, he buys into it that I.
Think he? Never asked me about the Rep
counter. Yeah, yeah, I could see that.
But maybe it's going to be Counter was always there.
We're arguing over little stuff because we're arguing about the
last two, but yeah. Yeah, I think camera quality,
number one, I'm going to, I'm going to die by that, whether
you like it or not. And then full cover, just
probably #2 #3 should be commentary.
Well Daniel, it seems like you do, so stop commenting.
You're saying most people don't, Most people don't.
He's not most people. I I was thinking about that
today, you know, it was actually when I was watching on the
flight back Sivan's week in review with Pedro yesterday when
they had the inception moment with that.
That got weird. I was listening to that working
out and I was like, 'cause this going to explode my brain.
And it got me thinking, like how many podcasts there are that
cover this sport for the size that it is?
We're all losers. Like, I I don't know if you
listen to any podcasts around on like cycling.
I do there's like. Four of them, right?
Well, no, there's a lot. But.
Some most most aren't like a lot of them are in foreign
languages. Like podcast or things like like
smaller sports, Like how many podcasters are there right that
are covering covering it? Like.
The fantasy I look into this cause like fantasy.
There's a bunch of fantasy podcasts and they are all
terrible and all have low views, but there's a bunch of them.
Yeah, maybe I just don't know enough about the other like,
small, niche sports, but. I wanna do my phone like this
and see if you can see it. Can you see it a little bit.
I recently played you can't, you can't see it.
OK, so OK that didn't work. So out of recently played out of
the last 10123467 out of 20, there was 7 cycling podcasts
that I have listened to. I think you listen to more
cycling podcasts and CrossFit podcasts. 100 I'm a part of all
the CrossFit podcasts. I want to listen to myself talk.
I'm on every. Single one.
I I I will. I do want a YouTube.
I would say the most CrossFit stuff I watch on YouTube and
most cycling stuff I listen when I'm driving.
Yeah, CrossFit. How many podcasts Barstool
makes? I Dude, there's so.
Many anything college sports professional, like the major
sports. Yeah, there's everybody is doing
it. I'm saying like a small niche
sport the size of CrossFit. I feel like we have pickleball,
a higher representation of podcast covering it, Sure.
OK. Well, yeah.
But like some of us are like second rate, so like do you
count those? People as podcasts I would not
count. I mean a lot of people would say
we're second rate. That's fine.
That's fine, man. I'll.
Take all 401 of my second rate fans.
I'm not the leading journalist, no.
He doesn't even he's he's making.
Fun of you. And he's not even doing it
right. I know he's leading analyst.
Come on, Jason. Yeah, he's got a His sense of
humor is a little off, but it's. It's OK.
That's also another thing. How many podcasts are there with
where the elite athletes interact with the shows like
they do here? Like that's that's a good
question. What's?
That guy's name we were talking about him today in Indianapolis
that would buy bought the truck today that bought that suburban.
Oh, it. Was a former coach, right?
Just got bought up. He just got bought up by ESPN,
yeah. I can't remember the name.
Somebody in the comments? Tell me who it is, but I'm sure
like he has Aaron Rodgers on and all that stuff.
Right. But it was Dan, right?
No, Pat McAfee. Oh, it's Pat.
OK, Yeah, he has plenty of viewers.
Well, there you go. Go to band to sleep.
Get a sleep mask. Promise you you will not regret
it bent with the boys real quick.
Then you guys can John. You're going to see you're
you're on Savon Tyler. Are you joining that too?
Yes, Sir. I'm jumping off and getting some
sleep. Good for you, but when I die.
Go follow that Bent with the boys.
He's good gracious. All right, These are a little
bit different than the Heat 1. So, yeah, you guys don't know
these yet. First one, Laura Horvath's worst
finish. This weekend it's a rip off.
Where did she finish? In what event?
Her worst? Finish her worst one.
That is rope. Great question.
Rope climb workout I'm gonna go with.
The Laura on the Rope Climb workout.
She won alpaca. Yeah, but it's way more, isn't
it? But she got second in Alpaca.
What the number of them? Yeah, 13.
Yeah, but they're not seated. They're legless, though.
So was Alpaca. Yeah, I just feel like she's
she's heavier than most girls. Dude, she's an elite puller,
man. Dude, Laura's great at pulling.
Yeah, but like, think about all the other events, like she's
going to smash everything I. Don't take away her, smash.
I understand, but it's relative. Smashy.
Just to answer his own answer, we should start egging him on.
Yeah, Tyler. I'm just.
Saying I want to see how bad, how bad are you on this 112?
Would, would it? I don't know.
Like I think the margins will be slim.
So like, yeah, maybe maybe 12. I don't want to put her outside
the top 15 on anything. I I don't know.
I'm, I'm thinking through the events and it's like she's going
to do really good on probably every single event.
So it's their. Worst event is is the first one.
How does she do in the rogue run?
The rogue run. Yeah.
You're talking about with the sack?
She came out real hot on that one.
Yeah, she tried to keep up with it.
Kind of blew up after. That didn't work, yeah.
I think that I think that was like, I don't want to try to
keep up with Tia and it backfired.
If OK here, here's what I'll say.
If Event 4 is just straight handstand walking, and it's not
obstacles and it's just straight handstand walking, I think event
one will be her worst finish. Does that make sense?
Yes. The at the Games, the four point
5K run. Where did she finish?
She finished 13th for the Four Point 5K.
I'm going to say she finishes 6th and that's.
Her. But that's just.
A run and she and she was behind Gabby, who took fifth.
And she's a runner. She was second out of all
European women in the four point 5K run.
Oh my God, Laura. That's crazy, actually, because
Vitison's in that. Well, gotta keep in mind,
Vitison. Vitison's not like an elite
runner. Vitison was 22nd.
She looks like one. I don't even she's.
Got to be. Decent.
I mean, you're an elite. Runner no.
Vitison and and Frey over are running together so that they
are not elite. Dude, this is so hard.
I'm going to say I'm going to say event one.
I'm going to say event one. She gets 4th place.
I hope I'm right. I'm going to freaking bury you
two whenever it is. What's the third event?
I forget that. One the leg was rope climb 10
that Yeah. With the bike.
And big box tramps. I'm going to say the handstand
walk one. That's my second pick, but I
think the and. I'll say she finishes like 9th
if. It's just due to error.
Walking the rower. The rower.
Matters if it's straight handstand walk.
Right. I don't.
I don't know if we know that it will like.
I I I'm saying pending that pending pending that.
It's. Going to be straight.
I can get. I can guarantee you it's going
to be straight. So, I mean, she there.
It'd be really easy to screw that one up.
Like mistake she could you. Well, like, yeah, like you go
too hard on the row and you have to stand there and you get or
you just. Trip on the handstand, walk and
you're out. No, I think she'll be fine on
that. But I think, I think the risk is
you go too hard on the road thinking that's where you have
to make it up, and then you come off that and you're like, oh, I
underestimated that. I want to change she's.
Literally the fittest woman in the world, excluding Tia.
I don't think she makes that mistake.
She made a mistake in the run with Tia at Rogue.
She's. Not with Tia.
With you. She's convincingly the best one
on in this field, by a lot. But that's the only work, and I
see where she doesn't do great at it.
I I but can you see a can you see her doing good?
Great at that though. Can you see that?
Yeah, but I think there's better handstand walkers out there that
will get there are Juliana will beat her.
I dude, I don't. The row matters, I don't think.
It'll be that big of a difference.
The row matters. It would it be there if it
didn't? I think you're underestimating
the handstand walk. If it's just handstand walking,
I'm confident in Laura like straight.
So I got event 4, Tyler has event 3 and you event one.
But event Event four would be my second pick.
I just, I don't know what place I'm convinced that she's going
to. 9th. Destroy that one I see.
I just think everybody's saying this is going to be a row
workout and I think. No, I'm not saying that.
I'm just saying the row matters, right?
Justin Madera? Of course, of course it's going
to. Matter in the West.
Really won't. He will not win that one.
Who's Who's going to win? Tudor.
No, Tudor will not fit enough. Tudor runs on his hands.
He'll have plenty of time. Yeah, but he he'll he's the one
who makes him on. The rower.
He's the one who makes the mistake.
There's no time made-up on the rower.
I think everybody's going to row.
Pretty similar pacing. Plus or minus?
Five, she's. Just going to pull A-150 and
just smoke everybody. She's going to pull a 140.
One No 04? Yep.
No chance we're going to stay with Laura, but we're going to
add in Sayer Kaya, who has more event wins.
Laura. This is a hard.
Question. Bro, this is hard.
I'm going back. Never mind, say.
I'm going to say Laura. How many?
He said. 4 Alora wins 4. I think oh.
Shit. Because there's only two more
than that. I'm going to say.
I'm going to say Sarah, but I think she's only going to win.
I think she's. Going to last year.
I'll do it. Last year Asia semifinal Sarah
Kaya. Lois finishes 5th.
She won Workout three, Workout 5, Workout 6, workout seven.
She worn 4. Of the seven.
I know, I I'm just going to say Lorac, because Asia's stupid.
That's that's hey right there. I don't know if you're still
listening, Jason. That's from #1 analyst in
Crosby. I'm just gonna say Laura cause
Asia's freaking stupid. OK, get fitter Asia.
Do. You wanna make a bet If he's
listening? Jason comment.
If he's listening. I mean listening.
He got bored. He ran away.
He. Probably did get bored. 2022
Asia Let's see Sun Yon Choi first, first, first, first,
third, second. Let's go.
So I'm going. To say her.
And the last two events that Sun Yon Choi did not win Sayer Kyle
won. I don't know now.
I I'm going to say Laura, I'm not rolling with Laura.
This is a great prop bet though. I'm going with Laura after
reading that because Troy was not there last year.
If she's anything what she was before, Sayer could be in
trouble. I must stick with Sayer so bad.
I'm not sticking with four, but I'm sticking with.
Sayer. And the last one, John, you'll
like this one. Will anybody in Europe or Asia
do the final two snatches unbroken?
In Asia or Europe or Europe, week one, will anybody do 2
unbroken? Snacks, I'm going to say yes.
I'm going to say Bron and Bron. And Bron is going to be ahead by
enough where, like, he can kind of like.
Look around. Watch.
Watch one. Show off.
Watch. What I do?
See his interview with Pedro. He was like, I'm going to be
seated for two minutes before anybody shows up.
Yeah, but that's just because he knows Europe's freaking weakest
all kid. Out there.
I would have made him. Dude seated for two minutes.
Yeah, no, like I I think Braun is going to get like 540 and and
I'm going to say yes. Agreed.
I think he'll do it just to show off.
I hope he does. Who did that back in the day?
Ola tried to do it. Yeah.
Ben Ben Alderman. No, Tola's the only one that
tried to do it. Yeah, in 2016, No, that was in
21. That's 21.
I don't know if anybody did in 16, dude.
I'm Ben. I'm pretty sure Ben Alderman
did, dude. No, I don't think that guy, if
he did, he was way back in the back, yeah.
I. Swear this is a thing.
Was it California Regional Event one?
He at least tried to go, touch and go he did.
He did go touch and go, I remember.
This he he finished fourth with a 813 time.
He was behind Rasmus Anderson and 1st at 6:40 Anonymous.
Anonymous, also known as Garrett Fisher in second, Marcus Philly
and then Ben Alderman. Anonymous.
That's Garrett Fisher.
Yeah, they changed. Why is?
He Anonymous. Anonymous.
I don't. It's.
His his profile got deleted and. He's wanted.
He's wanted a witness protection.
Yeah. So you go look at the burden
run. Crossfat agrees with me.
That's great. Yeah.
There it is. That's great.
Ben Alderman.
So if he did go, touch and go unbroken.
I'm going to look this up Tyler, And if he didn't, you just made
this a figment of your imagination.
I've you need to get looked at. This is event one in 2016.
Yeah, California regional. You can continue spin.
Yeah, you're not going to find it.
Not that. Not quickly enough.
Jacqueline Robertson. Robertson.
I'm going back to the beginning. But watching live from Spokane,
America smells like freedom. Somebody got to talk about
Hiller's most recent Instagram video.
He's talking about the No Rep video.
