1
00:00:01,520 --> 00:00:03,760
All right guys, welcome to the 
spin. 

2
00:00:03,760 --> 00:00:09,600
June 12th. 
J Hopp is like he's still in a 

3
00:00:09,600 --> 00:00:12,840
salt mine somewhere and he'll be
here in a minute, but didn't 

4
00:00:13,760 --> 00:00:18,400
want to leave you guys hanging. 
So we are going to start off the

5
00:00:18,400 --> 00:00:21,480
show. 
Tyler Watkins from Heat 1 

6
00:00:22,360 --> 00:00:26,080
welcome and John Young JY 
Barbell. 

7
00:00:26,440 --> 00:00:27,880
Yes, Sir. 
In the house. 

8
00:00:28,720 --> 00:00:33,040
Good show for you guys tonight. 
Hopefully Hopper does join us. 

9
00:00:34,760 --> 00:00:41,000
John Young has updated the Games
Mountain so it will be the final

10
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:44,640
Games Mountain for the 2024 
CrossFit Games. 

11
00:00:46,360 --> 00:00:49,000
Some changes there. 
He had me working on the 

12
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:53,440
graphics all day long. 
Was it really that hard to make 

13
00:00:53,440 --> 00:00:56,280
it I'm? 
Excited to see it because I 

14
00:00:56,600 --> 00:00:58,240
like. 
It's not that different in my 

15
00:00:58,240 --> 00:01:00,480
opinion. 
Yeah, you got a little funky 

16
00:01:00,480 --> 00:01:03,640
there, so, you know, I got it. 
I got you'll. 

17
00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:06,840
You'll when I explain it, you 
will understand why I could not 

18
00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:09,680
have it. 
Like how it was does that. 

19
00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:11,560
You'll when I explain it, you'll
get it. 

20
00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:13,160
I mean, you probably already get
it, but yeah. 

21
00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:18,640
And then after that mid season 
awards. 

22
00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:24,400
So the best of performance, 
biggest surprise, a few things 

23
00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:27,280
like that. 
So and then we'll end it and 

24
00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:31,680
wrap it up with a blind rankings
presented by Amantha Sleep. 

25
00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:38,040
All right, while we wait for Mr.
Hopper, we are going to jump 

26
00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:41,120
down one and go to viewer 
comments. 

27
00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:47,520
So this one is a little long. 
So, Hank, so so bear with. 

28
00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:49,160
Us, don't waste your time with 
this. 

29
00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:51,960
Are we really reading this one? 
Oh yeah, we're reading this one 

30
00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:55,800
Oh yeah, at the AT vanilla 
ghetto. 

31
00:01:57,120 --> 00:02:01,280
I'm giving you boys alike. 
So we're off off to a good start

32
00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:04,360
because you're the only ones 
that called out the complete 

33
00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:09,440
PCBS of the amorphous smoke and 
mirrors feel strength of field 

34
00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:13,560
excuse of adding to the already 
overslanted games spots 

35
00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:17,840
allocation to the four regions 
that will be very over 

36
00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:22,000
represented at the games, Asia, 
South America, Oceana and 

37
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:26,760
Africa. 
Then I almost took back my like 

38
00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:30,840
because of your trifecta of of 
obtuseness regarding Rogue's 

39
00:02:30,920 --> 00:02:35,600
stars of the past big name 
algorithm dudes. 

40
00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:37,920
Hello. 
They want the crowd favorites, 

41
00:02:37,920 --> 00:02:41,200
not the UN and barely known 
upstarts at their elite all paid

42
00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:44,200
sponsorship event. 
It was a hilarious wasting my 

43
00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:46,920
time listening to the three 
males use the correct word. 

44
00:02:46,920 --> 00:02:51,480
Women, not females twist their 
little heads all confused. 

45
00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:55,360
Seriously debating the merit of 
the CrossFit rating system to 

46
00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:59,360
the Rogue Equipment Sales event 
sponsorship qualifier, I mean 

47
00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:04,880
the Rogue Invitational. 
So with that, I'm going to 

48
00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:07,800
switch over, Thank God to Mr. 
Hopper. 

49
00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:11,640
So how do you feel? 
How do you feel about that 

50
00:03:11,640 --> 00:03:13,240
comment? 
What's up, boys? 

51
00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:15,200
What he doesn't know what 
happened. 

52
00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:20,280
Honestly didn't. 
I didn't hear a word you said. 

53
00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:22,240
It's it's good. 
You're better off for it. 

54
00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:25,800
Yeah, I I wasn't, I wasn't 
listening either. 

55
00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:28,840
I was just. 
Yeah, the the viewer comments, 

56
00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:30,080
they get a little wild out 
there. 

57
00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:33,240
So have you. 
Did you survive the salt mines? 

58
00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:35,840
I did. 
It was a good time. 

59
00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:37,200
I was. 
Looking everything. 

60
00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:38,440
I was looking everything down 
there. 

61
00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:43,040
How deep was it down there? 
700 feet, 700 feet, That's what 

62
00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:44,520
I thought. 
So if you guys don't know, you 

63
00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:47,120
went out to was it Redmond salt 
and? 

64
00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:49,040
Yeah, and and you talk Salt 
Lake? 

65
00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:54,200
He's altitude training. 
The under it's double if you go 

66
00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:56,840
underground. 
I jumped on, I jumped on a 

67
00:03:56,840 --> 00:04:02,000
trampoline out there and my 
heart rate got like 190, like 5 

68
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:03,600
minutes of jumping. 
I'm like, oh, they're just 

69
00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:05,560
checking out my pulse. 
I'm like, what's happening? 

70
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:09,080
So yeah, what were you doing? 
Just checking out working with 

71
00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:11,360
one of the sponsors or? 
Yeah, they brought us out there 

72
00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:15,640
and just, you know, they showed 
us the mind shows HQ and just 

73
00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:18,560
blessed us. 
We went to a Luke Combs concert 

74
00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:24,040
and put us up in a in a nice 
Airbnb in the mountains. 

75
00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:28,480
So super fun time. 
We went, we got we got dinner 

76
00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:30,440
with Downs family when we got 
there. 

77
00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:32,640
So they just showed us around 
and it was a good time. 

78
00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:36,520
Awesome, awesome. 
Well, thanks for joining this 

79
00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:37,960
evening. 
Yeah. 

80
00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:39,440
What we, what we, what we 
talking about? 

81
00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:46,760
You know your your resurgence 
back to elite level competition.

82
00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:48,640
Mountain update, bro. 
Oh my goodness. 

83
00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:50,200
I'm I'm gonna stay. 
I'm gonna stay here for that. 

84
00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:53,000
This is a. 
This is a This is the final 

85
00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:55,200
mountain. 
This is the final the final 

86
00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:59,240
mountain for 2024. 
Me and John had like a hour. 

87
00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:02,840
It was over text. 
Long long text thread about 

88
00:05:02,840 --> 00:05:05,720
that. 
Oh, I can't imagine that. 

89
00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:08,000
It's a heart. 
It's a heart to heart. 

90
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:13,200
Tears were shut on both sides. 
We'll see where we'll see where 

91
00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:16,760
this one goes. 
I think you moved up a little 

92
00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:19,360
bit, is that right, John? 
I know I'm not sure. 

93
00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:20,360
We'll get there when we get 
there. 

94
00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:25,160
No, I wanted to have you on. 
I mean, you've been, you know, 

95
00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:29,360
lots been talked about last year
and now it seems like this year 

96
00:05:29,840 --> 00:05:34,040
doing, you know, Taylor versus 
the world, we've seen a lot more

97
00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:37,480
of you. 
It seems like you're enjoying 

98
00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:40,480
competing again. 
Is that a fair assessment? 

99
00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:47,000
Yeah, I mean, it's just a lot 
less stressful, a lot less 

100
00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:49,640
pressure and just a lot less 
volume. 

101
00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:55,600
Feel like last year it was the 
goal was obviously to to, you 

102
00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:59,520
know, podium at the Games. 
And that's all I focused on with

103
00:05:59,840 --> 00:06:02,320
everything in my life. 
You know, I packed up my bags, 

104
00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:06,920
moved to Vermont, basically sold
my soul to the sport and, you 

105
00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:10,160
know, and it gave me the return 
that I wanted. 

106
00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:14,160
And I think it was because I 
gave probably, you know, too 

107
00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:18,800
much time and attention and 
stress and effort to this one 

108
00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:24,400
thing and I got burnt out. 
And that was all good until 

109
00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:26,800
after semi finals. 
I feel like I peaked out semi 

110
00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:30,920
finals last year and IA few a 
few weeks after that hit a wall 

111
00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:36,160
and started having all these 
injuries and, you know, couldn't

112
00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:39,320
train how to, you know, scale 
all these things. 

113
00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:43,040
And the reason was because I was
just lost. 

114
00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:46,080
I was burnt out. 
And I feel like this year I took

115
00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:51,240
a different approach and I 
wanted to enjoy it a little bit 

116
00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:53,800
more. 
And so I was, I'm not willing to

117
00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:59,560
sacrifice everything in my life 
for my, this one goal in, in 

118
00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:02,440
CrossFit. 
And if that doesn't get me to 

119
00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:05,800
where, you know, I want to go, 
then I'm OK with that because I 

120
00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:10,840
have a life and I'm OK with not 
standing on top of the podium 

121
00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:14,320
because I have other desires in 
my life. 

122
00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:15,840
That doesn't mean I'm, I don't 
want to do that. 

123
00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:18,560
And that doesn't mean I don't 
want to strive after that goal. 

124
00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:21,360
And you know, I'm that does also
mean I'm going to be pissed if 

125
00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:24,480
it doesn't happen because I'm 
super passionate, I'm super 

126
00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:28,680
competitive and you know, I want
that literally more than anybody

127
00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:30,640
else in the sport. 
I can, I can promise you that. 

128
00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:35,520
But also I have different, I 
have other priorities and I have

129
00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:39,000
to, I've learned my lesson that 
I have to give attention to 

130
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:42,920
those other priorities in order 
to function well as a human 

131
00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:44,640
being. 
There's balance. 

132
00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:49,480
And I've realized that the more 
balance I have, the more fun I 

133
00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:54,160
have, the more relaxed I am, the
the less serious I take myself, 

134
00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:58,160
the better I'm going to be on 
the competition floor and so. 

135
00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:03,680
In your defense, when we saw 
Brent go all in, he did his 

136
00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:07,080
first all in documentary. 
He did terrible right after that

137
00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:09,240
and then. 
Ariel, he did a documentary. 

138
00:08:09,640 --> 00:08:12,560
Oh yeah bro, he went. 
He he like. 

139
00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:15,920
It was all in was. 
We walked walked with him the 

140
00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:18,440
whole year. 
He'd like released like an hour 

141
00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:25,120
of an hour of a documentary 
every like month and 2000. 17 or

142
00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:28,400
18? 
The year after he got second, I 

143
00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:30,960
want to say like he got second 
and then he was like, this is 

144
00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:34,240
maybe two years after maybe 
2019, 'cause it was his worst, 

145
00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:36,919
it was his worst year he ever 
did like in the games, like the 

146
00:08:36,919 --> 00:08:39,280
last three years, yeah, though 
they're really fun. 

147
00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:43,120
You just type in Brent Bukowski 
all in, like it'll pop up on 

148
00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:48,040
YouTube and and yeah, he did the
worst he ever did. 

149
00:08:48,520 --> 00:08:52,640
And he says, I think it's just 
I'm do it taking it super 

150
00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:54,880
serious every single day. 
Like your life breathes. 

151
00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:57,200
This is all you think about. 
You go to sleep thinking about 

152
00:08:57,200 --> 00:09:01,360
you wake up thinking about it. 
I think there's not healthy. 

153
00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:04,520
I think there's a cap because 
like look at Ariel, like she 

154
00:09:04,520 --> 00:09:07,480
says she's like still, she's 
still mom and full time. 

155
00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:10,040
She can only train like a 
certain amount of hours a day 

156
00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:13,800
and she's killing it. 
Like I think there's a like 

157
00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:17,240
there's a Max capacity to how 
much you can be an athlete, 

158
00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:22,040
especially in our sport well. 
They got an offseason. 

159
00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:24,880
Yeah, I know we do. 
We kind of do too. 

160
00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:27,920
But you could train during that 
offseason. 

161
00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:29,120
Is there really an offseason, 
though? 

162
00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:30,560
Like that's where you make your 
gains? 

163
00:09:30,560 --> 00:09:33,240
Like that's where you're really 
trying to advance, I feel like 

164
00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:36,040
so. 
Yeah, it's just, it's just super

165
00:09:36,040 --> 00:09:39,680
demanding and you could get into
that pitfall. 

166
00:09:39,840 --> 00:09:42,200
You can't sustain it over time, 
but you have to have rest. 

167
00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:47,320
Yeah, I mean, like, I don't know
if you saw Josh Wooley, Emma's 

168
00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:51,200
Emma Lawson's coach, they just 
put out a video on Mammoth and. 

169
00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:54,320
Dude it is insane. 
Is there one healthy young 

170
00:09:54,320 --> 00:10:00,840
female mentally? 
Just think. 

171
00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:02,320
About around the world, think 
about. 

172
00:10:02,360 --> 00:10:03,200
This. 
No. 

173
00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:08,440
Isn't it insane dude? 
I didn't get. 

174
00:10:08,680 --> 00:10:12,000
All the she was the she was the 
one that had it all together. 

175
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:15,680
Freaking I I feel like something
had to happen with her and Jack 

176
00:10:15,680 --> 00:10:19,200
because they're both just having
a hard time right now. 

177
00:10:19,800 --> 00:10:21,560
Will someone give me an update 
of what it was? 

178
00:10:21,760 --> 00:10:23,320
Yeah, give me an update too, 
Junks. 

179
00:10:23,320 --> 00:10:24,400
I didn't get all the way through
it. 

180
00:10:24,400 --> 00:10:27,480
OK, I I didn't watch the whole 
the whole video. 

181
00:10:27,480 --> 00:10:29,120
So none of us know what we're 
talking about. 

182
00:10:29,560 --> 00:10:31,040
Go ahead. 
I will, yeah. 

183
00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:35,680
So basically Josh kind of did a 
18 minute recap video, Emma. 

184
00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:39,240
'S coach. 
Yeah, Emma, Jack and then Yolo 

185
00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:42,720
Fullos coach recap of all 
semifinals. 

186
00:10:42,840 --> 00:10:49,560
And in that he brings up Emma 
Lawson and essentially he kind 

187
00:10:49,560 --> 00:10:53,600
of kind of dances around it, but
says that she had a pretty tough

188
00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:59,680
year coming into the season and 
for for less words than not. 

189
00:10:59,680 --> 00:11:00,960
Like like mentally, mentally 
burned. 

190
00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:02,840
Out. 
Yeah, like he wasn't sure. 

191
00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:05,360
Yeah, he wasn't sure if she was 
actually going to compete this 

192
00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:08,440
year. 
And really, and then they, they,

193
00:11:09,560 --> 00:11:12,440
I don't know, got the help or 
did whatever they needed to kind

194
00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:15,920
of the support her through that 
and got her at least to a point 

195
00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:22,160
where she's competing. 
But I feel like of all of the 

196
00:11:22,160 --> 00:11:25,400
young women competing, Emma was 
kind of our thought of like, oh,

197
00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:28,160
she's got this all together. 
Like she's going to prom. 

198
00:11:28,160 --> 00:11:29,720
She's gotten all this stuff 
going, I think. 

199
00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:34,840
We're five for five and under 20
years old women having mental 

200
00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:39,120
problems. 
Think about it, Who is there? 

201
00:11:39,400 --> 00:11:44,000
I think Olivia's Olivia. 
Olivia, but she she's not at the

202
00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:45,440
games. 
Yeah, yeah. 

203
00:11:46,800 --> 00:11:52,080
I mean, I think, I think Jason, 
no, I think Jason called it 

204
00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:56,560
though like if you are all in on
this like it can eat at you for 

205
00:11:57,080 --> 00:12:00,440
sure and. 
I know what it was, dude. 

206
00:12:00,800 --> 00:12:03,440
He was missing those sweet 
potato pies in South Carolina. 

207
00:12:03,520 --> 00:12:08,000
He couldn't get none in Vermont.
It's it's sweet potato cake, 

208
00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:09,000
man. 
Whatever. 

209
00:12:09,160 --> 00:12:10,640
It's a freaking pie, dude. 
Dude. 

210
00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:20,880
Then things are banging bro. 
So yeah, go and you know. 

211
00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:22,880
Yeah, Did Graceann move to 
Vermont with you? 

212
00:12:24,280 --> 00:12:26,320
Yeah. 
Yeah, did she like I? 

213
00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:28,160
She had to think. 
About it that that would have 

214
00:12:28,160 --> 00:12:34,640
been so bad. 
Dude, no, she had a tough time. 

215
00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:39,960
Was it harder on her than it was
for you, 'cause I know my, my 

216
00:12:39,960 --> 00:12:44,000
best friend lived the like 
fourth string NFL live where you

217
00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:45,920
had to move. 
Like, you know, he was on five 

218
00:12:45,920 --> 00:12:49,000
different practice squads. 
Yeah, You know, you know what 

219
00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:50,720
I'm talking about. 
Where like, you don't know where

220
00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:53,440
you're going to be and then you 
got to move and you just live in

221
00:12:53,440 --> 00:12:54,960
different places. 
Yeah. 

222
00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:56,800
And I know his wife had a he 
was. 

223
00:12:57,160 --> 00:13:01,880
He was just dragging her around.
Oh yeah, Oh yeah, and I know, I 

224
00:13:01,880 --> 00:13:05,080
know his wife had you know, you 
don't can't make friends, right 

225
00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:07,040
Like 'cause you're going to 
leave again. 

226
00:13:07,560 --> 00:13:11,440
And it's it's hard on a lot of 
people don't see the other like 

227
00:13:11,440 --> 00:13:15,040
the spouse side. 
Yeah, no, she, she had a tough 

228
00:13:15,040 --> 00:13:18,880
time. 
And I think she probably had a 

229
00:13:18,880 --> 00:13:22,680
tougher time because we were in 
Vermont for me. 

230
00:13:22,680 --> 00:13:25,760
We weren't in Vermont for her. 
And so she was just there, 

231
00:13:25,960 --> 00:13:30,120
really just supporting me. 
And I guess she had no friends 

232
00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:32,840
here or there. 
And so it was terrified in a 

233
00:13:32,840 --> 00:13:35,400
sense. 
I drug her away from her, all 

234
00:13:35,400 --> 00:13:41,640
her friends, you know, her home.
And it was all a huge sacrifice 

235
00:13:41,640 --> 00:13:48,600
for my, my, my goal. 
And so it was super, it was 

236
00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:53,080
super selfless for her to do 
that and and she put the team on

237
00:13:53,080 --> 00:13:56,920
her back. 
But it definitely it with all, 

238
00:13:56,920 --> 00:13:59,880
with all that sacrifice and 
demand and all the things that 

239
00:13:59,880 --> 00:14:02,240
we did sacrifice, it was 
definitely tough on her. 

240
00:14:03,720 --> 00:14:09,720
If if you had said, let's let's 
say had you had podiumed last 

241
00:14:09,720 --> 00:14:12,960
year, would you still be in 
Vermont, dude? 

242
00:14:12,960 --> 00:14:15,880
That's, that's or that's. 
A big if man like. 

243
00:14:16,520 --> 00:14:18,080
Well, it sounds like your mind 
was made-up. 

244
00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:21,280
I'm saying I'm saying like, as 
you know, obviously they were 

245
00:14:21,280 --> 00:14:22,280
what? 
Does that mean John? 

246
00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:26,040
That's such a hey, if I made the
games this year, that's that's 

247
00:14:26,120 --> 00:14:30,440
basically the same jump. 
No, I mean like you, you hit 

248
00:14:30,440 --> 00:14:33,640
your goal, right, But you're 
everything outside of that is 

249
00:14:33,640 --> 00:14:36,880
just falling apart, I mean. 
No, I I don't think I would have

250
00:14:36,880 --> 00:14:41,120
stayed. 
The reason being was if it 

251
00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:44,920
worked in Vermont, I knew I 
could replicate it here. 

252
00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:50,440
Everything that went on in 
Vermont, you know, you know, the

253
00:14:50,440 --> 00:14:55,680
training, the volume, the 
intensity, the all in mentality,

254
00:14:56,160 --> 00:14:57,480
I could easily replicate that 
here. 

255
00:14:57,480 --> 00:14:59,040
I just wanted to see it. 
I wanted to there's. 

256
00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:00,840
A learning. 
Experience, yeah. 

257
00:15:00,840 --> 00:15:02,360
I just wanted to be in that 
environment. 

258
00:15:02,360 --> 00:15:05,040
And so it's definitely, I could 
definitely have brought it home.

259
00:15:07,520 --> 00:15:10,040
Do you? 
So what does your training look 

260
00:15:10,040 --> 00:15:12,640
like now? 
And are you, I mean, how much 

261
00:15:12,640 --> 00:15:16,800
are you working with HWPO? 
I'll actually work with Jr. 

262
00:15:18,040 --> 00:15:19,760
How much trampoline jumping are 
you throwing in? 

263
00:15:19,760 --> 00:15:22,840
There, now you have a 55 minutes
a day jumping. 

264
00:15:26,560 --> 00:15:30,760
I was super. 
I would, I would say I've been 

265
00:15:30,760 --> 00:15:34,720
pretty hesitant with volume 
since last year. 

266
00:15:34,920 --> 00:15:36,760
Like I've been like, I think 
that's the thing I've been 

267
00:15:36,760 --> 00:15:39,680
probably the most cautious about
is overtraining. 

268
00:15:39,800 --> 00:15:47,400
And so all from rogue all the 
way up until a few weeks ago at 

269
00:15:47,400 --> 00:15:53,680
games, training or semi finals, 
there has been like a, a 

270
00:15:53,760 --> 00:15:59,360
specific dose of volume that I 
would allow. 

271
00:15:59,560 --> 00:16:05,240
And if we went over that or if I
started feeling bad or anything,

272
00:16:05,480 --> 00:16:08,160
I would just be like, no, I'm, 
I'm, I don't want to do more. 

273
00:16:09,760 --> 00:16:13,320
You know, a couple years ago and
every year up until now, if it 

274
00:16:13,320 --> 00:16:17,160
was written, I would do it like 
no, no doubt about no how, no 

275
00:16:17,160 --> 00:16:21,000
matter how I felt, no matter 
what it was, I would not skip 

276
00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:25,080
anything. 
And then since last year, I've 

277
00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:29,440
been a little bit more free to 
be like, OK, I'm good, you know.

278
00:16:30,360 --> 00:16:37,840
And so since Rogue, the plan has
been to ramp up the intensity as

279
00:16:37,840 --> 00:16:41,720
much as possible and lower the 
volume because last year it was 

280
00:16:41,720 --> 00:16:45,240
all volume, but I couldn't, I 
couldn't sustain the intensity. 

281
00:16:45,240 --> 00:16:47,680
So I got to the games and, you 
know, I was, you know, burnt 

282
00:16:47,680 --> 00:16:48,240
out. 
I'm dead. 

283
00:16:48,240 --> 00:16:52,520
I can't keep up because I'm 
just, I haven't trained 

284
00:16:52,520 --> 00:16:54,520
intensity. 
I just, you know, I have all 

285
00:16:54,520 --> 00:16:57,400
this. 
We lost you. 

286
00:16:58,640 --> 00:16:59,360
You're out. 
Nope. 

287
00:17:00,320 --> 00:17:02,520
Your Earpods. 
You're back. 

288
00:17:03,200 --> 00:17:04,359
They probably died. 
Can you hear me now? 

289
00:17:04,839 --> 00:17:11,760
Yeah, we can hear you now. 
And so I got to so the whole 

290
00:17:11,760 --> 00:17:15,720
thing was ramp up the intensity 
and manage the, the, the volume.

291
00:17:15,720 --> 00:17:19,119
And so that was the plan all the
way up until semi finals, 

292
00:17:19,119 --> 00:17:20,640
honestly. 
And that's what I wanted. 

293
00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:24,960
I wanted to kind of increase and
peak at the right time. 

294
00:17:24,960 --> 00:17:27,400
That's kind of been the whole 
goal going into into games 

295
00:17:27,400 --> 00:17:32,560
training and so not much running
because I had a base, I knew I 

296
00:17:32,560 --> 00:17:38,320
could become a top 10 runner 
within two months. 

297
00:17:38,320 --> 00:17:41,920
And so I'm I was confident 
enough to not do be running. 

298
00:17:42,520 --> 00:17:47,560
I knew I could be a top ten 
strength in the top ten in any 

299
00:17:47,640 --> 00:17:50,400
any sort of strength at the 
games. 

300
00:17:50,400 --> 00:17:53,560
And so that's also a base I 
have. 

301
00:17:53,560 --> 00:17:55,600
So I'm willing to put that aside
for a little bit. 

302
00:17:56,200 --> 00:17:59,280
The only thing that I'm wasn't 
super confident about is like 

303
00:17:59,400 --> 00:18:03,800
pulling and skills. 
And so that's literally the only

304
00:18:03,800 --> 00:18:07,040
thing that I've been doing. 
And I, you know, run once a week

305
00:18:07,520 --> 00:18:11,680
and touch a barbell maybe two, 
maybe three times a week. 

306
00:18:11,960 --> 00:18:15,680
And I feel like I've done that. 
I've done did that all the way 

307
00:18:15,680 --> 00:18:20,840
up until until semi finals. 
And now I am ready to, you know,

308
00:18:20,840 --> 00:18:23,840
start implementing that run 
volume, start touching that 

309
00:18:23,840 --> 00:18:29,360
barbell a lot more like I was 
last year at the same time, you 

310
00:18:29,360 --> 00:18:34,080
know, continuing to touch those 
those skills and, you know, the 

311
00:18:34,080 --> 00:18:37,000
pulling and all the things that,
you know, trip me up naturally. 

312
00:18:38,280 --> 00:18:41,480
And so, yeah, I feel like now is
the time to to really, you know,

313
00:18:42,480 --> 00:18:44,880
take a step in. 
And that's going to also come 

314
00:18:44,880 --> 00:18:47,200
as, you know, we get closer to 
the games. 

315
00:18:47,200 --> 00:18:49,320
It's like I'm not going all in 
next week. 

316
00:18:49,640 --> 00:18:54,360
It's going to obviously increase
as as we get in into this deeper

317
00:18:54,360 --> 00:18:57,360
and deeper. 
And so, yeah, I'm excited, but I

318
00:18:57,360 --> 00:19:01,320
have a lot more say in how 
things are going. 

319
00:19:01,320 --> 00:19:05,640
I'm, I'm, I'm sort of like the 
just, I don't know, I kind of 

320
00:19:05,840 --> 00:19:08,520
have a lot more say. 
So like I, if I, if I feel like 

321
00:19:08,520 --> 00:19:11,240
my body can't handle something, 
I'm, I'm not afraid to say it. 

322
00:19:12,960 --> 00:19:16,280
And yeah, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm a 
lot quicker to say no to things 

323
00:19:16,760 --> 00:19:21,040
as well. 
And so yeah, hopefully it all 

324
00:19:21,040 --> 00:19:24,000
works. 
How how many pullovers have you 

325
00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:31,560
done in the last 10 months? 
Can I can I ask why that was 

326
00:19:31,560 --> 00:19:36,960
hard? 
I'm on athletic man. 

327
00:19:37,400 --> 00:19:39,960
Yeah, you played for Clemson, 
but you're on Athletic I. 

328
00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:45,120
Truly, I truly don't understand 
that because I, I feel like, I 

329
00:19:45,120 --> 00:19:47,080
feel like if you're athletic, 
you could just kind of figure it

330
00:19:47,080 --> 00:19:49,440
out. 
Like you're, you are one of the 

331
00:19:49,440 --> 00:19:53,320
fittest guys in the world. 
And I had never done a pullover 

332
00:19:53,320 --> 00:19:56,760
and I just jumped and did it the
first try and I saw you not be 

333
00:19:56,760 --> 00:19:59,560
able to do it. 
I'm like, there's something, why

334
00:19:59,560 --> 00:20:01,680
can he not do this? 
Like I don't, I don't get it. 

335
00:20:02,400 --> 00:20:04,680
Hold on, basically, hold on, 
hold on. 

336
00:20:05,080 --> 00:20:06,800
John's basically saying he's as 
fit as you. 

337
00:20:06,800 --> 00:20:08,760
That's not. 
What I'm saying, that's not what

338
00:20:08,760 --> 00:20:10,240
I'm saying. 
Quit putting words in my mouth. 

339
00:20:10,320 --> 00:20:11,600
That's how the lucky things 
started. 

340
00:20:11,600 --> 00:20:15,320
People put words in my mouth. 
Honestly, yeah, but but you have

341
00:20:15,320 --> 00:20:17,560
a point. 
Like honestly, I was like super 

342
00:20:17,560 --> 00:20:19,600
confused as as to why that was 
happening. 

343
00:20:19,600 --> 00:20:21,840
It's not only that, it's like 
other things like why does it 

344
00:20:21,840 --> 00:20:27,280
take me longer to learn these 
skills that for the athlete it 

345
00:20:27,280 --> 00:20:32,720
should come, come naturally. 
And the only, the only like 

346
00:20:32,720 --> 00:20:36,720
conclusion I can tell you is 
that I'm an athlete, a super 

347
00:20:36,720 --> 00:20:41,360
athlete in the sport because 
only in running, jumping and 

348
00:20:41,360 --> 00:20:43,120
throwing, because that's all 
I've done. 

349
00:20:43,560 --> 00:20:46,640
And so you that's all I've done 
for my entire life. 

350
00:20:46,640 --> 00:20:49,520
That doesn't mean I could just 
jump on a pull up a rig and you 

351
00:20:49,520 --> 00:20:52,400
just do whatever you want me to 
do or do a backflip, you know, 

352
00:20:52,400 --> 00:20:54,520
and so. 
I mean, like you're saying, 

353
00:20:54,520 --> 00:20:56,880
like, yeah, you are a field 
sport athlete. 

354
00:20:57,120 --> 00:20:59,160
You never pull. 
Ever. 

355
00:20:59,840 --> 00:21:02,280
I suppose if you look at Justin 
Maderas, because I wouldn't 

356
00:21:02,280 --> 00:21:06,160
consider Justin Maderas like 
super athletic, but I think I 

357
00:21:06,160 --> 00:21:09,000
think he could figure out any, 
any gymnastic really quick. 

358
00:21:09,400 --> 00:21:11,440
Yeah, but wrestling is 
gymnastics. 

359
00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:16,160
Like it's partially gymnastics. 
Yeah, moving your body. 

360
00:21:17,560 --> 00:21:20,000
I'm dude, I was, I was 
dumbfounded just as much as you 

361
00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:24,680
also, and also very, very, you 
know, that's not the only, 

362
00:21:24,680 --> 00:21:26,600
that's not the only movement. 
You know, there's a lot of 

363
00:21:26,600 --> 00:21:29,720
things I'm like, why is it? 
Why is it taking me so, so much 

364
00:21:29,720 --> 00:21:32,440
time to, to learn or to master 
something? 

365
00:21:32,440 --> 00:21:36,360
And so when people just, you 
know, learn it in an instant and

366
00:21:36,360 --> 00:21:41,960
I'm like. 
I think I think though, you 

367
00:21:41,960 --> 00:21:44,080
know, running and lifting come 
real easy to you. 

368
00:21:44,080 --> 00:21:46,840
I think you got a good luck of 
the draw and genetics as far as 

369
00:21:46,840 --> 00:21:49,200
that stuff. 
You can improve very quickly 

370
00:21:49,800 --> 00:21:52,960
where a lot of people can't 
improve one of those very 

371
00:21:52,960 --> 00:21:55,760
quickly. 
That's a very that's a potent 

372
00:21:55,760 --> 00:21:57,920
that's a potent combo like Jeff 
Adler. 

373
00:21:58,560 --> 00:22:05,200
I would argue is is similar. 
Yeah, it takes, it takes a tough

374
00:22:05,240 --> 00:22:08,720
time for for him as well to 
learn a new skill. 

375
00:22:08,760 --> 00:22:13,840
And so I don't know, man, just 
kind of where the cards fell, 

376
00:22:13,840 --> 00:22:20,120
but I'm trying. 
From Kenneth's lap, how did how 

377
00:22:20,120 --> 00:22:23,360
did you and Dallin become such 
close friends? 

378
00:22:24,880 --> 00:22:30,240
He came up to Vermont to train 
in 2021, before the the Games. 

379
00:22:31,160 --> 00:22:33,680
We hated each other before then.
Why? 

380
00:22:35,200 --> 00:22:38,960
I don't know, after when I made 
the games my, my first year, I 

381
00:22:38,960 --> 00:22:42,160
wanted to be the only like young
guy there. 

382
00:22:42,280 --> 00:22:46,520
And so I had known about Dallin 
and his like upcoming. 

383
00:22:46,520 --> 00:22:49,520
And so I wanted to be like the 
rookie there that was going to 

384
00:22:49,520 --> 00:22:51,640
like put on the show. 
And so when I went to West Coast

385
00:22:51,640 --> 00:22:54,480
Classic to watch him, he he 
didn't make it. 

386
00:22:54,480 --> 00:22:56,640
And for some reason I was just 
ecstatic about it. 

387
00:22:57,400 --> 00:23:00,440
And for some reason I've been 
praying on his downfall ever 

388
00:23:00,440 --> 00:23:05,360
since. 
You didn't, you didn't walk over

389
00:23:05,360 --> 00:23:07,720
and said you'll get it next 
year, man, that's. 

390
00:23:10,160 --> 00:23:17,760
No, but we, we ever since then 
we've been in like group chats 

391
00:23:18,240 --> 00:23:21,440
and then we saw each other for a
brief moment and chatted a 

392
00:23:21,440 --> 00:23:23,320
little bit at Watapalooza that 
year. 

393
00:23:23,920 --> 00:23:28,320
And that's when he came up to 
Vermont for a week and we just, 

394
00:23:28,440 --> 00:23:32,000
you know, hit it off. 
Then I was like, oh, well, maybe

395
00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:35,480
I'll, maybe I'll do. 
When you said 360, just behind, 

396
00:23:35,480 --> 00:23:37,120
just behind me. 
Right. 

397
00:23:39,960 --> 00:23:43,040
With with the games going to to 
Fort Worth. 

398
00:23:45,320 --> 00:23:48,240
Could you imagine if the games 
went to Vermont and then that 

399
00:23:48,240 --> 00:23:50,000
was Hopper's like, greatest 
Games? 

400
00:23:50,680 --> 00:23:54,360
And then it's such a redemption 
arc about that. 

401
00:23:55,080 --> 00:23:56,800
That would be why. 
Go ahead, Go ahead, Fort. 

402
00:23:56,800 --> 00:24:00,400
Worth. 
I mean, is there anything 

403
00:24:00,400 --> 00:24:05,440
different that you're expecting 
or like the rumors of what might

404
00:24:05,440 --> 00:24:07,760
be different in there? 
I mean, it's obviously going to 

405
00:24:07,760 --> 00:24:10,040
be mostly indoors. 
Like does that change your 

406
00:24:10,040 --> 00:24:17,240
training at all? 
I don't know what rumors you're 

407
00:24:17,240 --> 00:24:20,200
hearing. 
I I don't know, do you have any 

408
00:24:20,200 --> 00:24:22,920
rumors? 
I mean, I know there's a group 

409
00:24:22,920 --> 00:24:25,280
that in here probably in it with
one of the zoos that have been 

410
00:24:25,280 --> 00:24:27,400
programming for me. 
So that's all I don't I. 

411
00:24:27,400 --> 00:24:29,080
Don't know anything about. 
We don't know anything about 

412
00:24:29,080 --> 00:24:32,160
that yet. 
I know I know more about the 

413
00:24:32,160 --> 00:24:38,280
masters than an individual. 
Yeah, nothing leaks like a sieve

414
00:24:38,440 --> 00:24:41,840
though. 
Jr. 

415
00:24:41,840 --> 00:24:44,360
All I got was a text from Jr. 
saying he was going to do a 

416
00:24:44,480 --> 00:24:48,440
study on everything and program 
accordingly. 

417
00:24:48,880 --> 00:24:51,440
So yeah, he's. 
Probably reverse engineered the 

418
00:24:51,440 --> 00:24:55,160
programming by now. 
Dude, he's, he's probably, he's 

419
00:24:55,160 --> 00:25:01,120
probably doing like a Google 
Street View of Coliseum, going 

420
00:25:01,120 --> 00:25:04,400
around the Coliseum, knowing how
where we're going to be running 

421
00:25:04,400 --> 00:25:06,280
and whatnot. 
Well, I've, I've already 

422
00:25:06,280 --> 00:25:09,040
searched out the pools and I 
think I found the pool that you 

423
00:25:09,040 --> 00:25:10,880
guys will be at. 
Yeah. 

424
00:25:11,360 --> 00:25:14,400
So yeah. 
You think we're actually being 

425
00:25:14,520 --> 00:25:16,680
woman? 
I yeah, I think so, yeah. 

426
00:25:18,080 --> 00:25:21,480
At, at at this at this place. 
No, at the pool that Brian's 

427
00:25:21,480 --> 00:25:25,080
talking about like it's, it's 
like a mile away from the the 

428
00:25:25,120 --> 00:25:27,040
venue. 
Yeah, you can technically 

429
00:25:27,040 --> 00:25:31,200
actually run there from Dickies.
I just, I feel I asked Castro 

430
00:25:31,200 --> 00:25:35,400
that and the way his face kind 
of smiled, it just makes me 

431
00:25:35,400 --> 00:25:39,240
think for like, yeah, I, I mean,
I'm completely reading. 

432
00:25:39,240 --> 00:25:41,680
I'm completely trying to read 
Dave Castro, which could be a 

433
00:25:41,680 --> 00:25:45,120
huge mistake, but it made it 
feel like there was going to be.

434
00:25:45,200 --> 00:25:49,800
A well last year was the only 
year of no swimming since 2011. 

435
00:25:51,080 --> 00:25:53,160
So really I didn't think about 
that. 

436
00:25:53,160 --> 00:25:56,560
So it's going to be another 
situation where you got to be 

437
00:25:56,560 --> 00:26:00,440
super important to go to the 
that like it, like it. 

438
00:26:00,520 --> 00:26:03,320
Was we won't get to watch. 
It no, there's no chance. 

439
00:26:04,800 --> 00:26:06,240
How was that conversation with 
Dave John? 

440
00:26:07,200 --> 00:26:08,640
It was fine. 
He didn't know who I was. 

441
00:26:10,760 --> 00:26:12,120
So Sevon. 
Sevon goes. 

442
00:26:12,120 --> 00:26:14,240
And I, I hate it when Sevon does
this. 

443
00:26:15,280 --> 00:26:20,240
He goes, he goes, he Dave goes, 
who is this guy on the screen 

444
00:26:20,240 --> 00:26:22,840
here? 
And and seven goes, you don't 

445
00:26:22,840 --> 00:26:25,880
know who John Young is like, 
like I'm like I'm somebody. 

446
00:26:26,480 --> 00:26:31,080
And then Dave goes no, like 
ever. 

447
00:26:31,080 --> 00:26:33,680
And he did that. 
He did that in our my very first

448
00:26:34,240 --> 00:26:37,240
interview show with Haley, with 
Haley Adams. 

449
00:26:37,400 --> 00:26:41,360
I had never talking spoke to any
of y'all. 

450
00:26:41,680 --> 00:26:44,720
OK, I'm nervous. 
I don't know anything right? 

451
00:26:45,160 --> 00:26:47,520
And then Haley and then 5 
minutes before I go on. 

452
00:26:47,520 --> 00:26:49,320
So everyone's like, Oh yeah, by 
the way, we're going to 

453
00:26:49,320 --> 00:26:52,200
interview Haley Adams and I'm 
like cool, right? 

454
00:26:52,200 --> 00:26:54,520
And then great. 
And then he goes, Haley, this is

455
00:26:54,520 --> 00:26:55,880
John. 
Do you know John Young? 

456
00:26:56,000 --> 00:26:59,360
Like, like and. 
This is like I actually I 

457
00:26:59,360 --> 00:27:02,040
actually watched it. 
Oh, the Haley Adams one. 

458
00:27:02,440 --> 00:27:05,520
No, you and Dave, Dave. 
No, he's fine though. 

459
00:27:05,840 --> 00:27:09,520
You look pretty giddy. 
Everything that I'm about he's 

460
00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:13,880
he does not care for so. 
Like dude, he told you to quit 

461
00:27:13,880 --> 00:27:15,240
talking. 
I I know. 

462
00:27:17,200 --> 00:27:19,040
What'd you think about Jr. 
during that? 

463
00:27:19,040 --> 00:27:21,280
I know, I know, I know. 
I'm like, all right, well. 

464
00:27:22,040 --> 00:27:26,800
Not surprised about Jr. 
Like he was quiet. 

465
00:27:26,880 --> 00:27:29,320
I I was like, is Jr. ever going 
to talk ever again? 

466
00:27:29,320 --> 00:27:31,640
He talked like in the beginning 
and never said anything ever 

467
00:27:31,640 --> 00:27:34,960
after. 
Dude yesterday we were in the 

468
00:27:34,960 --> 00:27:39,760
gym and he he gave me a work, he
gave me a workout, did the 

469
00:27:39,760 --> 00:27:46,520
workout in the in the morning 
and I texted him how it went. 

470
00:27:47,880 --> 00:27:50,840
Fast forward like 5 hours, it's 
in the afternoon. 

471
00:27:50,840 --> 00:27:52,600
We're in the small room of the 
gym. 

472
00:27:53,160 --> 00:27:56,640
One point O right I'm sitting on
a bench, he's sitting, he's 

473
00:27:56,640 --> 00:28:00,560
working out during his rest. 
He texted me back. 

474
00:28:01,000 --> 00:28:02,360
We're five feet away from each 
other. 

475
00:28:03,680 --> 00:28:07,320
We haven't said a word to each 
other all day long. 

476
00:28:09,880 --> 00:28:12,880
I'm like this right here is a 
problem dude. 

477
00:28:16,160 --> 00:28:17,800
That's a problem he wants to 
have, man. 

478
00:28:18,480 --> 00:28:22,400
I guess, man, I guess he's I. 
I know he's listening to this 

479
00:28:22,400 --> 00:28:25,000
too. 
Oh yeah, he'll be he'll be in 

480
00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:27,840
the chat at some point. 
Yeah, after you leave, he'll 

481
00:28:27,840 --> 00:28:29,400
come in the chat. 
Yeah. 

482
00:28:32,040 --> 00:28:33,920
Well, I do. 
I do think it's good that Dave 

483
00:28:33,920 --> 00:28:37,160
is like that though, where he 
like he doesn't care who's going

484
00:28:37,160 --> 00:28:39,640
to place where he doesn't care 
who's good, he doesn't care 

485
00:28:39,640 --> 00:28:42,880
who's bad. 
I think the guy who's 

486
00:28:42,880 --> 00:28:46,560
programming the games like 
should be like that and 

487
00:28:46,560 --> 00:28:48,920
shouldn't know the athletes 
because he doesn't know. 

488
00:28:49,080 --> 00:28:52,480
He doesn't know y'all very well 
at all except the except the, 

489
00:28:52,600 --> 00:28:54,120
you know, the best ones in 
Brook. 

490
00:28:56,480 --> 00:28:59,480
No offense to Brook, that 
sounded bad, but y'all know what

491
00:28:59,480 --> 00:29:08,520
I'm saying. 
Somebody, somebody's got to clip

492
00:29:08,560 --> 00:29:12,880
that, Take it away. 
Brooke Wells now hate me. 

493
00:29:14,600 --> 00:29:16,360
Now that's all right. 
She don't know who you are 

494
00:29:16,360 --> 00:29:19,320
either. 
Me and Brooke Wells went to the 

495
00:29:19,320 --> 00:29:21,560
same college, you know that like
at the same time. 

496
00:29:23,920 --> 00:29:25,240
Did you guys talk? 
You have class. 

497
00:29:25,240 --> 00:29:27,160
I didn't, I didn't do, I didn't 
do CrossFit back then. 

498
00:29:27,160 --> 00:29:27,880
I didn't. 
I didn't. 

499
00:29:28,040 --> 00:29:35,640
I didn't know what CrossFit was.
Well, well man, Congrats making 

500
00:29:35,640 --> 00:29:39,800
it back to the games and good 
luck in Fort Worth. 

501
00:29:40,440 --> 00:29:43,040
I think we'll all see you there,
so let's. 

502
00:29:43,880 --> 00:29:45,360
Talk about these mountain. 
These mountain now. 

503
00:29:45,640 --> 00:29:47,440
Oh, he's going to stay on. 
For the mountain. 

504
00:29:47,600 --> 00:29:51,040
I mean, if, if, if Ryan's down. 
Oh shit, here we go. 

505
00:29:51,160 --> 00:29:53,320
I don't mind. 
All right, here we go. 

506
00:29:54,360 --> 00:29:56,640
We're going to skip ahead. 
We're going to go all over the. 

507
00:29:56,640 --> 00:29:58,320
Layer by layer, right layer by 
layer. 

508
00:29:58,680 --> 00:30:05,200
The Mountain is here. 
And how familiar are you with 

509
00:30:05,200 --> 00:30:07,680
this mountain there, Jason? 
Barry. 

510
00:30:09,400 --> 00:30:11,880
Well, before we get to the 
mountain, we always start at 

511
00:30:11,880 --> 00:30:17,520
base camp. 
So John, give a refresher of 

512
00:30:17,520 --> 00:30:21,360
what is base camp? 
All right, so base camp, you're 

513
00:30:21,360 --> 00:30:23,920
not on the mountain. 
You are not one of the best 

514
00:30:23,920 --> 00:30:27,280
people at the games, but you can
make some noise. 

515
00:30:27,360 --> 00:30:31,720
So base camp is top 20 material,
or you are a home run hitter 

516
00:30:31,920 --> 00:30:35,200
known to hit home runs and 
you're somebody that will tell 

517
00:30:35,200 --> 00:30:37,440
the story of the 2024 CrossFit 
Games. 

518
00:30:38,240 --> 00:30:42,760
All right, here is the first 
four athletes at base camp, 

519
00:30:43,120 --> 00:30:47,640
Rosima, Delmet, Brookwells and 
BKG. 

520
00:30:49,200 --> 00:30:51,680
Yeah, I mean, you gotta you know
what's funny is this is kind of 

521
00:30:51,680 --> 00:30:55,840
a breakfast club of people right
here because BKG you got the 

522
00:30:55,840 --> 00:30:57,840
veteran that you can't not talk 
about. 

523
00:30:57,840 --> 00:31:00,320
He could be top 15 any single 
year. 

524
00:31:01,200 --> 00:31:04,520
Brooke Wells is on the comeback 
trail showing resilience like 

525
00:31:04,520 --> 00:31:08,040
she does and her ice barrel of 
the following. 

526
00:31:08,480 --> 00:31:12,440
Abigail Domain is a up and Comer
and I think she's going to be 

527
00:31:12,440 --> 00:31:17,160
somebody, though I don't think 
she will be unknown after this 

528
00:31:17,160 --> 00:31:19,440
games. 
I think Abigail Dohman is going 

529
00:31:19,440 --> 00:31:23,120
to be top 15 this year. 
And Jack Rosenba, I mean when we

530
00:31:23,120 --> 00:31:27,600
get to the superlatives he was, 
he's my most improved. 

531
00:31:27,600 --> 00:31:30,680
He's he's a semi finals guy that
never broke through that made 

532
00:31:30,680 --> 00:31:34,560
the games easy. 
So I don't really know what to 

533
00:31:34,560 --> 00:31:36,680
expect of him, but he looked 
really really good at semi 

534
00:31:36,680 --> 00:31:39,320
finals. 
So is this it just that you 

535
00:31:39,320 --> 00:31:41,600
don't think like you don't know 
on Dalmet? 

536
00:31:41,760 --> 00:31:43,360
Because I think you're low on 
her right now, No. 

537
00:31:43,440 --> 00:31:46,520
No, I know. 
I think she'll be top 15 in the 

538
00:31:46,520 --> 00:31:50,480
games, but the women that I have
on the mountain, I don't think 

539
00:31:50,480 --> 00:31:52,640
she's better than those women. 
OK, OK. 

540
00:31:52,800 --> 00:31:55,240
Can I pause? 
Yeah. 

541
00:31:55,760 --> 00:31:58,240
I realize that I'm not going to 
be doing much talking here and I

542
00:31:58,240 --> 00:31:59,680
don't have AI, don't really 
don't have a reason here. 

543
00:32:06,280 --> 00:32:09,480
He just wanted John to say he 
wants to know where he is. 

544
00:32:11,480 --> 00:32:13,840
We can come back to base camp. 
Let's climb that mountain. 

545
00:32:16,080 --> 00:32:18,680
Hike down the mountain. 
Wait, show the next four and 

546
00:32:18,720 --> 00:32:20,080
then and then we'll throw the 
first tier. 

547
00:32:20,080 --> 00:32:23,760
There's the next four. 
OK, Victor and Gee, I both think

548
00:32:23,760 --> 00:32:26,320
and win events. 
Sam's top 15. 

549
00:32:26,320 --> 00:32:28,640
Luck has been proving me wrong 
all freaking year. 

550
00:32:28,640 --> 00:32:32,080
So I'm gonna ride that train 
until he until he stops. 

551
00:32:32,760 --> 00:32:34,920
And then Maddie Sturt. 
Maddie Sturt's been a a 

552
00:32:34,920 --> 00:32:37,760
reckoning in Oceana, but on to 
the mountain. 

553
00:32:37,800 --> 00:32:40,840
These are your best. 
People, here we go, the bottom 

554
00:32:40,840 --> 00:32:43,080
of the mountain. 
All right. 

555
00:32:43,080 --> 00:32:47,520
And now this this year is top 
15, top 15 material. 

556
00:32:48,320 --> 00:32:51,000
James Sprague was not on this 
list. 

557
00:32:51,200 --> 00:32:54,880
And by the way, when I mean top 
15, I mean top 10 to 15 in that 

558
00:32:54,880 --> 00:32:59,760
range, OK, not top ten, but 
should be underneath top 15. 

559
00:33:00,960 --> 00:33:03,480
Any surprises we have, we have 
to talk about these people. 

560
00:33:03,480 --> 00:33:05,480
I'm sorry Hopper, your your 
cheers the next one. 

561
00:33:05,560 --> 00:33:09,360
Grace domit Domit not being 
ahead of grace. 

562
00:33:09,360 --> 00:33:12,000
It seems wrong to me. 
Gracie's better. 

563
00:33:12,400 --> 00:33:13,960
I like spring there. 
I like spray there. 

564
00:33:15,960 --> 00:33:17,800
And I think. 
Because you know you're over 

565
00:33:17,800 --> 00:33:22,040
Sprague. 
Dude, me and me and me and 

566
00:33:22,040 --> 00:33:23,880
Hatfield have AI like I like 
Hatfield. 

567
00:33:23,880 --> 00:33:25,840
I didn't know he could. 
I didn't. 

568
00:33:25,840 --> 00:33:29,000
I didn't know he could run. 
Dude, I didn't know he could run

569
00:33:29,000 --> 00:33:30,960
that good dude. 
He's dude. 

570
00:33:30,960 --> 00:33:33,200
He, he's the grassberry bro. 
He grew up playing soccer. 

571
00:33:33,200 --> 00:33:35,920
I get that, but when you're 
freshly 70? 

572
00:33:37,400 --> 00:33:39,800
Dude, if I would have known if. 
I would have known that he 

573
00:33:39,800 --> 00:33:41,280
played soccer. 
I would have just assumed that 

574
00:33:41,280 --> 00:33:43,360
he could run. 
He could definitely run. 

575
00:33:43,680 --> 00:33:46,880
He came out with a Adler. 
I mean, I think he was the 

576
00:33:46,880 --> 00:33:50,200
second guy in from Adler on that
first run. 

577
00:33:50,200 --> 00:33:52,560
And I just melted. 
I thought this is the biggest 

578
00:33:52,560 --> 00:33:55,120
mistake ever. 
I was like, stop it, Austin. 

579
00:33:55,400 --> 00:33:58,920
Stop it right now. 
I mean, I thought, I, I thought 

580
00:33:58,920 --> 00:34:02,920
the same thing, but then I 
realized that he played soccer 

581
00:34:02,920 --> 00:34:04,920
after and I was like, oh, that. 
That's not surprising. 

582
00:34:04,920 --> 00:34:06,520
No, I know he kept it. 
He kept it. 

583
00:34:07,000 --> 00:34:09,080
I know a lot of, I know a lot of
soccer players that aren't going

584
00:34:09,120 --> 00:34:12,199
to keep up with Jeff. 
I went up to him after and I 

585
00:34:12,199 --> 00:34:13,600
said I didn't know you could 
run. 

586
00:34:14,239 --> 00:34:20,600
And then the next event happened
and I went up to him and I said 

587
00:34:20,600 --> 00:34:21,760
I didn't know you could front 
squad. 

588
00:34:24,159 --> 00:34:28,760
And then he came up to me after 
the the echo bike and boxing 

589
00:34:28,920 --> 00:34:30,040
said I didn't know you could 
ride. 

590
00:34:33,320 --> 00:34:37,320
And then after every single 
event, we I the person who who 

591
00:34:37,320 --> 00:34:40,199
obviously did the best, would 
the the person who did the worst

592
00:34:40,199 --> 00:34:42,400
would come up to the person who 
did the best and be like, I 

593
00:34:42,400 --> 00:34:44,239
didn't know you could fill the 
blank. 

594
00:34:44,239 --> 00:34:47,080
So it was just a a running joke.
It was funny. 

595
00:34:47,120 --> 00:34:48,320
I like him. 
That's funny. 

596
00:34:48,639 --> 00:34:51,480
Yeah, he's a good dude. 
Karen Freova. 

597
00:34:51,880 --> 00:34:55,800
No improvement from last year. 
It's not no improvement, it's 

598
00:34:55,920 --> 00:34:58,720
she's where she needs to be. 
She'll be around 10th place. 

599
00:34:59,040 --> 00:35:01,160
Was she in the same spot on the 
mountain last year? 

600
00:35:01,320 --> 00:35:04,680
Yeah. 
Yes, yeah, OK. 

601
00:35:05,240 --> 00:35:07,000
She's where she needs to be. 
This is where she will finish. 

602
00:35:07,520 --> 00:35:09,080
She don't finish about 10th to 
11th place. 

603
00:35:10,600 --> 00:35:14,880
All right, the next row there, 
there's Mr. Hopper all. 

604
00:35:14,920 --> 00:35:16,800
Right. 
And this is, this is top ten 

605
00:35:16,800 --> 00:35:18,960
material. 
This is people that I expect to 

606
00:35:18,960 --> 00:35:26,280
be in a fight for the top 10. 
John just says you're in top ten

607
00:35:26,280 --> 00:35:31,760
'cause you got 7 one time. 
No no no hey this is who I 

608
00:35:31,760 --> 00:35:34,640
expect to fight for the top ten 
with what they have showed us 

609
00:35:34,640 --> 00:35:39,360
this year and the only reason 
Hopper went up a level it for 

610
00:35:39,360 --> 00:35:41,400
Dang sure wasn't a semi finals 
performance. 

611
00:35:41,400 --> 00:35:45,160
Can't even win an event. 
It was Taylor. 

612
00:35:45,480 --> 00:35:46,880
Taylor. 
One of the world. 

613
00:35:47,520 --> 00:35:49,760
An event you're supposed to win,
not event four. 

614
00:35:49,880 --> 00:35:51,920
I don't care about event four. 
That's a rowing event. 

615
00:35:52,280 --> 00:35:54,680
Come on now. 
You got to. 

616
00:35:54,960 --> 00:35:57,080
You can't touch a shackle and 
think that row. 

617
00:35:57,120 --> 00:36:03,080
I think that Rep counts anyway. 
But no, it's Taylor versus the 

618
00:36:03,080 --> 00:36:04,960
world. 
I think he's shocked. 

619
00:36:04,960 --> 00:36:08,760
At based on based on me touching
missing the rope and touching 

620
00:36:08,760 --> 00:36:11,360
the the shackle, does it not 
tell you that I had the capacity

621
00:36:11,360 --> 00:36:12,680
to win and is that not enough 
to? 

622
00:36:12,680 --> 00:36:14,320
Put up, that's enough. 
That's enough. 

623
00:36:14,320 --> 00:36:16,760
You got to, you got to come 
clutch man down, be higher if he

624
00:36:16,760 --> 00:36:18,600
would have beaten Roman in that 
box jump workout. 

625
00:36:18,600 --> 00:36:21,880
But he didn't. 
But you're looking, you're 

626
00:36:21,880 --> 00:36:24,520
looking at what is when you need
to be looking at what could have

627
00:36:24,520 --> 00:36:26,880
been. 
That's what a true, that's what 

628
00:36:26,880 --> 00:36:28,320
a true analyst would be analyst 
that's. 

629
00:36:28,400 --> 00:36:31,200
What I'm telling him. 
That's what, yeah, here, that's 

630
00:36:31,200 --> 00:36:32,680
what Tyler does. 
Yeah. 

631
00:36:32,960 --> 00:36:35,480
You should go ahead and see how 
Tyler usually does in these 

632
00:36:35,480 --> 00:36:36,360
things. 
You're. 

633
00:36:36,360 --> 00:36:38,840
Referred to our our most recent 
reel. 

634
00:36:43,280 --> 00:36:44,800
You need to. 
You need to be looking at the 

635
00:36:44,800 --> 00:36:48,440
potential. 
OK, why would you say you should

636
00:36:48,440 --> 00:36:52,040
be then? 
I think I should be right there.

637
00:36:52,040 --> 00:36:55,280
What? 
The freak are you talking about 

638
00:36:58,200 --> 00:37:00,040
bro? 
Somebody very impressive though 

639
00:37:00,040 --> 00:37:02,880
that wasn't here that is here 
now is yellow hosta. 

640
00:37:03,320 --> 00:37:05,520
I think yellow host is a 
mainstay. 

641
00:37:06,640 --> 00:37:09,400
He's just he's just been a 
monster man. 

642
00:37:09,400 --> 00:37:11,400
I thought he would struggle in 
this semi final. 

643
00:37:11,400 --> 00:37:14,760
I did not know the rope climb 
workout was going to be all big 

644
00:37:14,760 --> 00:37:19,200
man box jump bike workout, but 
dude, he freaking murdered it 

645
00:37:19,200 --> 00:37:21,360
and I think he's going to I 
think he's going to be top ten 

646
00:37:21,360 --> 00:37:24,840
material it. 
He needs to get stronger, but 

647
00:37:25,560 --> 00:37:27,040
he's somebody in the next few 
years. 

648
00:37:27,040 --> 00:37:30,040
I wouldn't I I think he's going 
to be there for the long haul. 

649
00:37:30,040 --> 00:37:33,200
All right. 
Hey John, I got I got AI got a 

650
00:37:33,200 --> 00:37:36,360
question for what's the best to 
the best analyst in the space? 

651
00:37:36,800 --> 00:37:41,480
How much do you think all this 
comes down to luck and 

652
00:37:42,360 --> 00:37:48,320
programming? 
I think after the next row all 

653
00:37:48,320 --> 00:37:51,720
all of it wait. 
A minute. 

654
00:37:52,280 --> 00:37:54,400
So here's here's what I'm 
talking about. 

655
00:37:54,400 --> 00:37:56,240
Here's what I'm talking about. 
Go ahead and do the next row. 

656
00:37:57,840 --> 00:38:01,720
So, OK, scratch that. 
All right, these two rows, all 

657
00:38:01,720 --> 00:38:04,960
right, so look, look, look, I 
forgot, I forgot which rows was,

658
00:38:05,120 --> 00:38:06,560
you know, you can leave that row
up there, leave that row up 

659
00:38:06,560 --> 00:38:09,080
there. 
All right, So these bottom two 

660
00:38:09,080 --> 00:38:12,520
rows, I think a lot of it's 
programming. 

661
00:38:12,680 --> 00:38:15,800
For instance, I think Lazar is 
capable of beating you. 

662
00:38:15,800 --> 00:38:17,360
I think you're capable of 
beating Lazar. 

663
00:38:17,600 --> 00:38:19,160
I think Jay's capable of beating
both of y'all. 

664
00:38:19,160 --> 00:38:21,840
I think yellow Hosta, Probably 
not, probably not. 

665
00:38:21,840 --> 00:38:25,040
He's probably on the bottom of 
that row, but but 20 lbs 

666
00:38:25,040 --> 00:38:27,400
stronger. 
Yellow is capable of doing that 

667
00:38:27,400 --> 00:38:29,720
too. 
Same for Haley Adams and him at 

668
00:38:29,720 --> 00:38:31,120
all. 
I think they could beat each 

669
00:38:31,120 --> 00:38:32,600
other then. 
All of that depends on 

670
00:38:32,600 --> 00:38:34,720
programming. 
I think James Spray can finish 

671
00:38:34,720 --> 00:38:37,440
ahead of some of y'all with the 
right programming. 

672
00:38:37,600 --> 00:38:40,240
But and all that is a lot and 
all that's a lot of luck, right?

673
00:38:40,280 --> 00:38:44,160
So you don't think the same with
the 3rd row? 

674
00:38:44,400 --> 00:38:48,320
No, I think the 3rd row has 
shown that they are going to be 

675
00:38:48,320 --> 00:38:51,960
in the running for top five no 
matter what the programming is. 

676
00:38:53,080 --> 00:38:55,520
Now that doesn't mean that you 
can't be in the running. 

677
00:38:55,600 --> 00:38:58,080
It's just every single year 
they're going to be in the 

678
00:38:58,080 --> 00:39:01,760
running as of right now. 
Does that make sense? 

679
00:39:03,000 --> 00:39:04,920
Yeah, but I would just have some
push back. 

680
00:39:06,040 --> 00:39:07,960
Well, obviously you're on the 
road for me. 

681
00:39:08,600 --> 00:39:11,120
I I, I don't. 
It wouldn't make sense if you 

682
00:39:11,120 --> 00:39:15,120
didn't have push back. 
Yeah, let's just let's just say,

683
00:39:17,080 --> 00:39:19,280
I mean, who's on the 3rd row? 
And here, here here's. 

684
00:39:19,400 --> 00:39:22,840
Here's what I'm saying for the. 
The 3rd row this is this is 

685
00:39:22,840 --> 00:39:26,640
their this was my like thinking 
process for that row with a 

686
00:39:26,720 --> 00:39:33,320
perfect games, a perfect run. 
I think they can podium OK, any 

687
00:39:33,320 --> 00:39:36,360
any one of these people. 
I do not think you can podium 

688
00:39:36,360 --> 00:39:40,120
with a perfect run as of right, 
as of as of right now, that's. 

689
00:39:40,640 --> 00:39:42,720
Crazy John. 
Well, prove me wrong. 

690
00:39:46,000 --> 00:39:50,160
Let's just say. 
That's a long pause, man. 

691
00:39:51,160 --> 00:39:53,120
No, I'm I'm just trying, I'm 
just trying to think of a games 

692
00:39:53,120 --> 00:39:55,600
that would. 
That's right, you can't think of

693
00:39:55,600 --> 00:39:57,000
1, so let's move on to the next 
row. 

694
00:39:58,320 --> 00:40:02,160
We already talked about one. 
If you like changed up the 

695
00:40:02,160 --> 00:40:05,360
events. 
Now I see. 

696
00:40:05,360 --> 00:40:07,160
All right, all right. 
But here, here, here, you'll 

697
00:40:07,160 --> 00:40:10,280
you'll understand here. 
So Ariel Lowen, Patrick Velma, 

698
00:40:10,280 --> 00:40:14,760
this is the next row. 
These two should make the 

699
00:40:14,760 --> 00:40:18,000
podium. 
There's going to be a row and a 

700
00:40:18,000 --> 00:40:20,760
half also. 
Might not make the podium, I 

701
00:40:20,760 --> 00:40:23,960
kind of expect neither of them 
to make the podium, but they 

702
00:40:23,960 --> 00:40:26,560
absolutely can and they're 
absolutely capable. 

703
00:40:27,120 --> 00:40:31,040
But I would not bet them. 
I don't really care who's on the

704
00:40:31,040 --> 00:40:35,440
top of the mountain. 
Saw that coming. 

705
00:40:35,680 --> 00:40:39,480
By the time he was done. 
Dude, thank you for stopping by.

706
00:40:39,480 --> 00:40:43,080
Let me screenshot. 
This and put it on my bulletin 

707
00:40:43,080 --> 00:40:44,480
board. 
Well, here I'll post it on 

708
00:40:44,480 --> 00:40:46,520
Instagram and. 
She really did screenshot. 

709
00:40:49,520 --> 00:40:50,360
It hey, thank you. 
Thank. 

710
00:40:50,360 --> 00:40:51,760
You for thank you for coming, 
Jason. 

711
00:40:52,320 --> 00:40:53,800
I can't wait until y'all are all
wrong. 

712
00:40:54,440 --> 00:40:57,360
I can't wait for it either and. 
Then we're going to circle back 

713
00:40:57,360 --> 00:40:59,160
here. 
We will circle back right? 

714
00:40:59,440 --> 00:41:01,400
And then you're going to admit 
that I'm the best analyst? 

715
00:41:02,240 --> 00:41:04,800
I'll tell you what, if you, if 
you podium, Jason, if you 

716
00:41:04,800 --> 00:41:07,480
podium, I'll admit that you're 
the best analyst in the whole 

717
00:41:07,480 --> 00:41:09,920
entire sport. 
All right, clip that spin. 

718
00:41:10,480 --> 00:41:14,320
Yep, got it man. 
All right, see y'all appreciate 

719
00:41:14,320 --> 00:41:15,400
you having me. 
I'm doing Jason. 

720
00:41:15,720 --> 00:41:20,840
Later. 
Yeah, so this is where your 

721
00:41:20,840 --> 00:41:24,000
mountain started making me have 
to like work on the graphics 

722
00:41:24,000 --> 00:41:25,440
here, John. 
I was like what? 

723
00:41:25,440 --> 00:41:27,720
What is going on here? 
OK, do you guys understand what 

724
00:41:27,720 --> 00:41:30,360
I'm with this row so far here 
though with Valner and Lowen? 

725
00:41:30,520 --> 00:41:32,840
No what's recap Valner and 
Lowen. 

726
00:41:34,000 --> 00:41:39,240
So by the way, felt like this 
was a mature Jason. 

727
00:41:39,280 --> 00:41:40,720
Didn't it feel a little bit 
different? 

728
00:41:41,000 --> 00:41:43,480
He's mellowed way the hell out. 
I know I. 

729
00:41:43,520 --> 00:41:46,120
Think I wanted to say this while
he was on. 

730
00:41:46,120 --> 00:41:51,640
It's like 2. 
A lot of people cannot go and 

731
00:41:51,640 --> 00:41:54,920
touch the dragon like he touched
it, get full burnout and then 

732
00:41:54,920 --> 00:41:59,840
come back and, and and and do 
well and be able to control 

733
00:41:59,840 --> 00:42:02,160
themselves. 
That that's really cool. 

734
00:42:02,160 --> 00:42:05,360
That either shows that he like 
is really mentally strong as an 

735
00:42:05,360 --> 00:42:07,960
athlete or he has a great 
support system or a combination 

736
00:42:07,960 --> 00:42:09,280
of, of all of that. 
So. 

737
00:42:10,760 --> 00:42:13,320
Yeah, I'm rooting for him. 
I think if he got 4th place it 

738
00:42:13,320 --> 00:42:19,840
would be amazing. 
He's talking shit though, what 

739
00:42:19,840 --> 00:42:25,040
Jason's been watching. 
The I'll be in trouble if he 

740
00:42:25,040 --> 00:42:27,320
doesn't. 
I'm because I I will live up to 

741
00:42:27,320 --> 00:42:28,960
it. 
I will say that for sure and he 

742
00:42:28,960 --> 00:42:30,520
deserves it. 
All right. 

743
00:42:30,640 --> 00:42:36,160
So Lowen and Velner, these two 
on any given games, they can 

744
00:42:36,320 --> 00:42:40,240
they can podium. 
I am going to say that they're 

745
00:42:40,240 --> 00:42:43,600
not going to. 
Are you saying they're more? 

746
00:42:45,200 --> 00:42:46,760
They're definitely they're 
they're higher. 

747
00:42:46,760 --> 00:42:50,200
They're gonna be more high highs
than the row below it, but also 

748
00:42:50,200 --> 00:42:51,920
potentially. 
Low, low. 

749
00:42:51,920 --> 00:42:52,960
I don't. 
I almost don't. 

750
00:42:53,360 --> 00:42:56,560
Maybe Velder's hitting more high
highs, but no, I would say 

751
00:42:56,560 --> 00:43:01,440
they're they're just more 
consistent than the row below it

752
00:43:01,720 --> 00:43:04,720
and like the row below it. 
All of those guys, they're very 

753
00:43:04,720 --> 00:43:06,720
consistent. 
Gabby McGowan is the definition 

754
00:43:06,720 --> 00:43:09,640
of 5th place. 
What Jon is trying to say is 

755
00:43:09,680 --> 00:43:14,000
they're definitely taking 4th. 
I yeah, yeah, basically I'm 

756
00:43:14,000 --> 00:43:16,640
penciling these people in to be 
4th place. 

757
00:43:16,640 --> 00:43:22,000
I think their consistency is a 
is like same consistency, but 

758
00:43:22,000 --> 00:43:25,760
where these guys are 5th through
7th consistency, Velner and 

759
00:43:25,760 --> 00:43:27,960
Lowen are third and 4th 
consistency. 

760
00:43:28,440 --> 00:43:32,120
Now Velner and Fukowski, they 
have home runs and they have 

761
00:43:32,120 --> 00:43:34,600
events they do bad and it 
doesn't apply for them as much, 

762
00:43:35,320 --> 00:43:37,760
but the others that that does 
apply to. 

763
00:43:38,960 --> 00:43:41,080
But yeah, basically I'm just 
penciling these guys to be 

764
00:43:41,080 --> 00:43:44,840
fourth place. 
Do you do you read into their 

765
00:43:45,120 --> 00:43:49,440
Lowens and Vilner's semifinals 
performances at all? 

766
00:43:49,560 --> 00:43:55,320
I don't no, not no, no, I 
thought this before semi finals 

767
00:43:56,560 --> 00:44:00,400
like Justin, I think higher up 
Justin, but like Justin is more 

768
00:44:00,400 --> 00:44:02,920
of a confirmation. 
We thought Justin would be back.

769
00:44:02,920 --> 00:44:05,080
We thought Justin would be in 
the running to win the games. 

770
00:44:05,720 --> 00:44:07,600
You know, and like the top five,
right? 

771
00:44:08,760 --> 00:44:13,080
And Justin would be the highest 
guy on this row. 

772
00:44:13,320 --> 00:44:15,680
I just, I just put Velner above 
him. 

773
00:44:15,680 --> 00:44:19,560
I think Velner's better. 
Yeah, my question was basically 

774
00:44:19,560 --> 00:44:23,480
we saw Madero struggle last year
at semi finals and it carried 

775
00:44:23,480 --> 00:44:26,520
over to the games. 
Yeah, I don't put a lot of stock

776
00:44:26,520 --> 00:44:29,320
into it for Pat unless there's a
Max Snatch, but we've snatched 

777
00:44:29,320 --> 00:44:31,840
the whole entire time and 
unusually he's good at snatch. 

778
00:44:31,840 --> 00:44:33,920
I don't know what happened with 
that was but. 

779
00:44:35,000 --> 00:44:38,360
How about this one from Clock? 
Loan has won good games and now 

780
00:44:38,360 --> 00:44:41,520
she's a Pat Velner. 
No clock. 

781
00:44:41,840 --> 00:44:48,040
Ariel Lowen is 4th place. 
I'm saying Ariel Lowen is her 

782
00:44:48,040 --> 00:44:51,840
normal and Patrick Veltner is 
going to be slightly worse than 

783
00:44:51,840 --> 00:44:53,280
what he's usually does. 
That's. 

784
00:44:53,280 --> 00:44:54,960
What? 
I'm not slightly worse, just not

785
00:44:54,960 --> 00:44:57,720
as as high on the leaderboard, 
which I don't think. 

786
00:44:57,720 --> 00:44:59,160
He's worse. 
No, no, no, no. 

787
00:44:59,160 --> 00:45:01,120
OK. 
I think the guys, I think there 

788
00:45:01,120 --> 00:45:04,280
are three guys who have who are 
fitter than Patrick. 

789
00:45:04,280 --> 00:45:06,280
They've they've eclipsed. 
Him, they passed him. 

790
00:45:06,320 --> 00:45:08,800
Yes, that is a very well way to 
put that. 

791
00:45:09,640 --> 00:45:12,000
You guys think. 
You have to think if, if Roman 

792
00:45:12,000 --> 00:45:14,760
probably should have won last 
year, Jeff, Jeff won. 

793
00:45:14,760 --> 00:45:15,960
Jeff's the fittest guy in the 
world. 

794
00:45:16,160 --> 00:45:19,680
But Roman would have been right 
there if not winning, right, if 

795
00:45:19,680 --> 00:45:22,760
he didn't break his foot. 
So Velner would have been what, 

796
00:45:22,760 --> 00:45:25,800
third place, right. 
Velner would have been third 

797
00:45:25,800 --> 00:45:29,520
place without Ricky in a 
CrossFit Games. 

798
00:45:29,560 --> 00:45:32,120
That would have suited Ricky 
really, really well. 

799
00:45:32,400 --> 00:45:36,120
Ricky would have had like three 
to four ways, 3:00 to 3:00. 

800
00:45:38,680 --> 00:45:41,680
I knew that was coming. 
Three or four like Otto wins 

801
00:45:41,680 --> 00:45:45,000
that we know Ricky would win 
from just from the past, right? 

802
00:45:45,320 --> 00:45:46,840
That would put Villainer 4th, I 
think. 

803
00:45:46,840 --> 00:45:51,320
I think this will show itself. 
4th. 

804
00:45:51,960 --> 00:45:59,760
Got it, the next row. 
All right, what are you laughing

805
00:45:59,800 --> 00:46:01,920
for? 
Just thinking about spin 

806
00:46:02,480 --> 00:46:04,960
screwing around in camp by 
trying to get this right. 

807
00:46:07,040 --> 00:46:10,160
Yeah, just throwing lines 
everywhere. 

808
00:46:10,160 --> 00:46:13,280
It was a nice, nice pyramid 
formation on a mountain. 

809
00:46:13,280 --> 00:46:15,520
And now it's like here here's a 
row 2 for. 

810
00:46:15,520 --> 00:46:19,000
You, This is why, This is why, 
OK, This is why I had to do it 

811
00:46:19,000 --> 00:46:21,480
like this. 
So these three women I think are

812
00:46:21,480 --> 00:46:25,360
all fighting for 3rd place that 
are ahead of Velner and Lowen 

813
00:46:25,360 --> 00:46:28,680
because I, Velner and Lowen, you
let's just call this that the 

814
00:46:28,680 --> 00:46:32,560
4th place row, Lawson, Gazan and
Raptus. 

815
00:46:32,560 --> 00:46:36,040
I think all three of these women
are fighting for that third 

816
00:46:36,040 --> 00:46:40,440
place, that third place spot, 
putting this line above the 

817
00:46:40,440 --> 00:46:43,080
Belner low in line. 
Who is this confusing? 

818
00:46:44,560 --> 00:46:47,240
I think all three of these women
are fighting for 3rd place. 

819
00:46:47,240 --> 00:46:49,960
How is that confusing? 
Because there's another female 

820
00:46:49,960 --> 00:46:53,360
that's going to get first, 
making Ariel not get 4th. 

821
00:46:54,400 --> 00:46:58,880
Or 5th or or. 5th OK, OK, no, 
no, OK, listen, no. 

822
00:46:58,960 --> 00:47:04,320
Like 4th place is her highest is
the highest she can do OK. 

823
00:47:04,480 --> 00:47:07,040
There is no world where she gets
3rd place again. 

824
00:47:07,040 --> 00:47:10,440
That's what I'm saying. 
Definitely not top. 

825
00:47:10,440 --> 00:47:13,520
Got it. 
We're Lawson, Gazan Raptors. 

826
00:47:13,520 --> 00:47:18,280
Any of these girls can finish 
third, OK? 

827
00:47:19,080 --> 00:47:21,160
Got it. 
Got it next. 

828
00:47:22,560 --> 00:47:28,360
Before, before we move on, does 
do you have any concerns about 

829
00:47:28,440 --> 00:47:31,760
Emma Lawson? 
I don't know man. 

830
00:47:32,480 --> 00:47:35,320
Get the knowledge that you had 
right. 

831
00:47:35,320 --> 00:47:38,760
Yeah, yeah, but like she was 
third place at semi finals. 

832
00:47:38,960 --> 00:47:42,280
Like she did fine. 
I mean, Raptors beater she did 

833
00:47:42,280 --> 00:47:44,280
great call Tyler. 
Tyler's the only one who called 

834
00:47:44,280 --> 00:47:47,000
that little bias, but great, 
great call. 

835
00:47:48,800 --> 00:47:50,360
But she didn't beat her by that 
much. 

836
00:47:50,440 --> 00:47:52,840
Like Lawson was very close to 
2nd place. 

837
00:47:53,440 --> 00:47:56,520
You know what she did? 
I think Lawson like breezed 

838
00:47:56,600 --> 00:48:01,400
through semi finals and I still 
think I think Emma Lawson is the

839
00:48:01,400 --> 00:48:04,840
third fittest woman in the world
like right now. 

840
00:48:05,320 --> 00:48:10,400
But you know, maybe she stops, 
maybe she doesn't go to the 

841
00:48:10,400 --> 00:48:11,960
games. 
I don't think she will. 

842
00:48:11,960 --> 00:48:15,520
I think she'll be fine. 
But as far as her fitness goes, 

843
00:48:15,600 --> 00:48:17,200
this is where she belongs, on 
the mountain. 

844
00:48:19,480 --> 00:48:20,880
I agree with where these three 
are. 

845
00:48:24,000 --> 00:48:27,760
Next row. 
These these, these three men, 

846
00:48:28,560 --> 00:48:29,080
it's. 
Barely. 

847
00:48:29,120 --> 00:48:31,080
They barely freaking fit on the 
mountain. 

848
00:48:31,200 --> 00:48:34,440
These three men, these three 
men, this is your podium. 

849
00:48:35,520 --> 00:48:39,120
I don't know what order. 
I think any three of these, I 

850
00:48:39,120 --> 00:48:41,880
think any combination of these 
three will be the podium. 

851
00:48:42,480 --> 00:48:46,960
I been screaming that I think 
Ricky's going to win the Games, 

852
00:48:48,200 --> 00:48:51,000
but if every event is inside, 
that's not good for Ricky. 

853
00:48:51,400 --> 00:48:54,720
If we're running in half of them
like we most of the time do, 

854
00:48:54,720 --> 00:48:58,920
that's good for Ricky. 
But you know, if it's inside, I 

855
00:48:58,920 --> 00:49:01,360
think that helps Roman. 
If there's more machines that 

856
00:49:01,360 --> 00:49:06,240
helps Roman. 
Jeff is the strongest out of 

857
00:49:06,240 --> 00:49:08,640
those two. 
So if it if it goes to more 

858
00:49:08,640 --> 00:49:11,240
strength and more lifting, then 
I think it favors Jeff. 

859
00:49:12,200 --> 00:49:14,520
If it's odd object, I think that
probably favors Roman. 

860
00:49:14,520 --> 00:49:16,480
Ricky's also really good at 
object, odd object. 

861
00:49:16,480 --> 00:49:19,800
So like I don't have a defining 
I think this guy's going to 

862
00:49:19,800 --> 00:49:23,960
place here in the top three, but
I think those these guys in any 

863
00:49:23,960 --> 00:49:27,240
order will be your top three. 
And before the games we will 

864
00:49:27,240 --> 00:49:29,720
have lot, we will have for sure 
predictions on. 

865
00:49:29,720 --> 00:49:31,520
I think this guy will win. 
This guy will get second. 

866
00:49:32,000 --> 00:49:34,880
But hopefully we find out some 
events so I can base something 

867
00:49:34,880 --> 00:49:38,280
off of that. 
But I think any games that any 

868
00:49:38,280 --> 00:49:39,720
through any one of these three 
guys can win. 

869
00:49:43,760 --> 00:49:47,040
Who of the list? 
I was thinking this exact same 

870
00:49:47,040 --> 00:49:51,200
thing. 
Please please please change. 

871
00:49:51,240 --> 00:49:56,840
The base camp to Whoville. 
I changed base camp to Whoville.

872
00:50:01,000 --> 00:50:04,720
Mederos, Can he break into the 
podium or is he kind of locked 

873
00:50:04,720 --> 00:50:10,240
in at 4th? 
No, I mean, I, I don't think 

874
00:50:10,240 --> 00:50:12,880
Medeiros is close to these three
guys. 

875
00:50:13,280 --> 00:50:18,920
I think Justin and Bellner are 
kind of hand in hand in their 

876
00:50:18,920 --> 00:50:21,400
fitness and I think Fukowski is 
a shade underneath. 

877
00:50:21,400 --> 00:50:26,360
But with lucky programming, 
Fukowski could be above just for

878
00:50:26,360 --> 00:50:29,680
events that, you know, hit his 
home run ability. 

879
00:50:30,320 --> 00:50:33,080
But I if you had me do, I would 
say these guys in our tier, 

880
00:50:33,080 --> 00:50:36,080
Valner Maderos is next tier and 
then I would say Fukowski and 

881
00:50:36,080 --> 00:50:37,920
Dallin or that tier underneath 
that. 

882
00:50:39,600 --> 00:50:44,800
Wad Zombie Where's Emily Rolf? 
These are these are your 15. 

883
00:50:44,800 --> 00:50:47,120
She she was not at base camp. 
She probably could have been at 

884
00:50:47,120 --> 00:50:49,720
base camp. 
But again, base camp is your top

885
00:50:49,720 --> 00:50:54,480
20 material or home run hitters.
I don't think she's going to 

886
00:50:54,480 --> 00:50:56,680
beat Tia. 
So I can't say that she's going 

887
00:50:56,680 --> 00:50:59,000
to hit a home run. 
She'll be second place in one 

888
00:50:59,000 --> 00:51:02,120
event. 
That's not worthy of base camp. 

889
00:51:04,520 --> 00:51:06,800
Yeah, next row. 
Where's Pinero? 

890
00:51:07,560 --> 00:51:10,840
She's in Brazil getting roided 
up for her run at the Games. 

891
00:51:12,440 --> 00:51:16,280
Good for her. 
Also, going back to the Grinch 

892
00:51:16,280 --> 00:51:19,280
thing, there's a dump on the 
backside of the mountain, so 

893
00:51:19,280 --> 00:51:20,880
that's where we could do Tyler's
trash. 

894
00:51:23,000 --> 00:51:27,640
That's so terrible. 
You have little homes that like 

895
00:51:27,640 --> 00:51:30,720
Christophel Greer and then like.
Like. 

896
00:51:33,360 --> 00:51:35,800
Mertens has a rented apartment, 
unfortunately. 

897
00:51:38,080 --> 00:51:39,280
Next row. 
Next row. 

898
00:51:40,440 --> 00:51:42,240
Alright, and this is this is 
Laura Horvath. 

899
00:51:42,360 --> 00:51:45,120
I think Laura Horvath is all by 
herself as the second fittest 

900
00:51:45,120 --> 00:51:46,960
woman in the world. 
I think if Tia Toomey didn't 

901
00:51:46,960 --> 00:51:49,240
exist, Laura Horvath would run 
away with the games. 

902
00:51:49,320 --> 00:51:52,880
I think Laura Horvath could have
the worst strict deficit 

903
00:51:52,880 --> 00:51:57,160
handstand push up event in the 
games and still be Emma Lawson 

904
00:51:57,160 --> 00:51:58,880
and Alex Gazan and Alexis 
Raptors. 

905
00:51:59,280 --> 00:52:02,680
I think she could take a zero 
and still beat those girls. 

906
00:52:03,440 --> 00:52:08,000
Laura is that good. 
Unfortunately the fittest woman 

907
00:52:08,720 --> 00:52:16,080
in ever lives now and she is at 
the top of the mountain. 

908
00:52:16,720 --> 00:52:18,720
Yeah, there's nothing I can say 
about that. 

909
00:52:18,720 --> 00:52:20,360
It's unfortunate. 
Tia's Tia. 

910
00:52:20,600 --> 00:52:23,160
Tia's still competing. 
Therefore, Tia's at the top of 

911
00:52:23,160 --> 00:52:25,040
the mountain. 
Nobody cares. 

912
00:52:25,400 --> 00:52:27,520
Retire. 
Go take care of Willow I. 

913
00:52:31,600 --> 00:52:33,760
Think we've kind of talked like.
Natural Games Mountain. 

914
00:52:34,040 --> 00:52:40,280
Tia the the spread between Tia 
and Laura, 100 plus points. 

915
00:52:41,720 --> 00:52:47,040
I think so. 
I gotta, yeah, we gotta, I gotta

916
00:52:47,040 --> 00:52:50,240
keep a sheet. 
I'm going to say absolutely. 

917
00:52:50,680 --> 00:52:57,520
But how much difference is there
between Laura and that 4th that 

918
00:52:57,520 --> 00:52:59,080
4th throw there? 
It depends. 

919
00:52:59,080 --> 00:53:01,360
It depends if there's a a 
handstand push up event. 

920
00:53:01,720 --> 00:53:05,240
Last year was the luckiest Laura
Horvath could have ever gotten. 

921
00:53:05,240 --> 00:53:08,920
There were eight handstand push 
ups and they were free standing 

922
00:53:09,120 --> 00:53:12,080
and they were irrelevant to the 
actual event. 

923
00:53:12,720 --> 00:53:15,560
I think if there is an actual 
strict handstand push up 

924
00:53:15,560 --> 00:53:19,440
workout, it doesn't even have to
be strict deficit, just a strict

925
00:53:19,440 --> 00:53:22,560
handstand push up workout. 
That's it where that's the crux 

926
00:53:22,560 --> 00:53:25,760
of the workout. 
Then I think they will be within

927
00:53:25,760 --> 00:53:30,680
100 points of her of Laura. 
If there is not one like last 

928
00:53:30,680 --> 00:53:33,600
year, I think they will be 100 
points away from Laura. 

929
00:53:33,680 --> 00:53:36,600
I think Tia will have 200 points
on the neck on 3rd place. 

930
00:53:38,400 --> 00:53:40,880
Does that make sense? 
Yes. 

931
00:53:45,120 --> 00:53:48,160
Do you what's the biggest margin
that Tia? 

932
00:53:49,120 --> 00:53:50,640
Is it 200? 
Is almost 200. 

933
00:53:51,760 --> 00:53:56,120
No, it's over 200. 
So Fraser has a 2220, he's got a

934
00:53:56,120 --> 00:53:58,480
220. 
If you don't count 2020, he's 

935
00:53:58,480 --> 00:54:00,680
got a He's got a 220 point 
separation. 

936
00:54:01,240 --> 00:54:04,000
Tia in 2021. 
Holy. 

937
00:54:04,000 --> 00:54:13,080
Cow would have had the highest 
one. 431-1435 minus 17 or eleven

938
00:54:13,080 --> 00:54:17,360
79256 points. 
Yeah, that that's, that's 20/21 

939
00:54:17,360 --> 00:54:20,400
correct. 
So now you have to ask yourself,

940
00:54:21,400 --> 00:54:24,560
everything else being equal. 
And by the way, Tyler, just so, 

941
00:54:24,600 --> 00:54:26,760
so just so we know who was 
second place. 

942
00:54:27,240 --> 00:54:33,320
Laura, that's what I'm saying. 
So all else being equal, is 

943
00:54:33,320 --> 00:54:37,520
Laura fitter or is TLS fit? 
And so does that separation 

944
00:54:37,560 --> 00:54:39,240
squish. 
Yeah, I would say both. 

945
00:54:40,640 --> 00:54:42,040
I would say both. 
I think Laura fitter. 

946
00:54:42,040 --> 00:54:44,320
I think Tia is less fit than she
was in 2021. 

947
00:54:44,320 --> 00:54:47,560
I think 2021 was the most 
dominating year we have ever 

948
00:54:47,560 --> 00:54:50,320
seen, if you don't count the 
COVID games. 

949
00:54:51,240 --> 00:54:52,000
Yeah. 
That doesn't count. 

950
00:54:52,360 --> 00:54:56,200
But no 20/21 was a regular year.
I don't think people understand 

951
00:54:56,200 --> 00:55:00,720
that it was a regular year and 
she won like 9 events. 20/21 she

952
00:55:00,720 --> 00:55:04,040
was so much fitter than 
everybody it was ridiculous. 

953
00:55:04,400 --> 00:55:08,480
20/22 she had some hiccups. 
It was the first time Baz did 

954
00:55:08,480 --> 00:55:12,480
the games and like she tripped 
on her our single unders and 

955
00:55:12,480 --> 00:55:14,160
didn't make it out of skill 
medley round. 

956
00:55:14,160 --> 00:55:16,600
There were a couple things where
she messed up and then she won 

957
00:55:16,640 --> 00:55:21,360
by a measly whatever she won 100
points, whatever she won by but 

958
00:55:22,320 --> 00:55:25,800
Tyler 3rd place, third place in 
that running. 

959
00:55:26,240 --> 00:55:28,440
But how much? 
How far away was she away from 

960
00:55:28,440 --> 00:55:33,720
Laura? 
About a 80 points. 80 points and

961
00:55:33,720 --> 00:55:38,000
that was 20/21. 
Was there a handstand push up 

962
00:55:38,000 --> 00:55:41,080
event that year? 
I couldn't tell you. 

963
00:55:41,200 --> 00:55:46,560
I can look. 
There was the wall walk one that

964
00:55:46,560 --> 00:55:49,480
wasn't great. 
Wall Walk Thruster. 

965
00:55:49,680 --> 00:55:55,360
Wall walk thruster now run. 
Free standing handstand push 

966
00:55:55,360 --> 00:55:56,760
ups. 
Deadlift free standing handstand

967
00:55:56,760 --> 00:55:57,840
push ups. 
Right? 

968
00:55:57,920 --> 00:56:02,440
Yeah, stupid one. 
I liked that one, but it was 

969
00:56:02,440 --> 00:56:03,280
weird. 
Yeah. 

970
00:56:03,280 --> 00:56:05,200
And so like in that one, she was
10th place. 

971
00:56:05,200 --> 00:56:08,680
She hit the cap for 13 reps, but
nobody else could do it either. 

972
00:56:08,680 --> 00:56:10,600
That one was like, you either 
had it or you didn't. 

973
00:56:10,600 --> 00:56:14,320
And she got, she got a little 
bit lucky on that one too, but 

974
00:56:14,320 --> 00:56:16,160
she was 80 points from Amy 
Thor's daughter. 

975
00:56:16,480 --> 00:56:20,880
I see something similar to this 
year, but the gap between Tia 

976
00:56:20,880 --> 00:56:25,120
and Laura will be much smaller. 
I would say over 100 points, but

977
00:56:25,120 --> 00:56:28,400
like not 200 points. 
And then Horvath to the next 

978
00:56:28,400 --> 00:56:30,520
person. 
If she gets lucky with that 

979
00:56:30,520 --> 00:56:33,280
handstand push up event, then 
she'll be over 100 points on 

980
00:56:33,280 --> 00:56:36,360
those girls. 
If it's a regular one, it'll be 

981
00:56:36,360 --> 00:56:40,320
like 50 points. 
I get I. 

982
00:56:40,320 --> 00:56:42,120
Probably would side with you on 
this. 

983
00:56:42,400 --> 00:56:44,680
I want it, I just want it to 
happen. 

984
00:56:44,800 --> 00:56:46,240
I want someone to beat. 
Tia. 

985
00:56:46,680 --> 00:56:53,160
It won't, I'm sorry, bet on 
something else better than 

986
00:56:53,160 --> 00:56:59,080
Mavericks tonight. 
Yeah, it's, I mean, I I think 

987
00:56:59,240 --> 00:57:03,840
didn't Laura though have two 
better scores on semi finals 

988
00:57:03,840 --> 00:57:07,440
than Tia? 
Event four, she had a world 

989
00:57:07,440 --> 00:57:14,280
record and then I I want to say 
event two that Tia was behind 

990
00:57:14,280 --> 00:57:16,800
her by 5 seconds. 
So yeah, you're right. 

991
00:57:16,800 --> 00:57:19,240
Laura beat Tia. 
Laura can beat Tia. 

992
00:57:19,240 --> 00:57:21,320
You're absolutely right. 
Great job, Laura. 

993
00:57:21,320 --> 00:57:26,120
You beat Tia by 5 by 5 seconds. 
But her low is going to be way 

994
00:57:26,200 --> 00:57:29,040
worse than what Tia's is. 
Let's look at how much Tia beat 

995
00:57:29,040 --> 00:57:34,600
Laura in event. 15 minutes. 
OK, it wasn't 5 minutes, it 

996
00:57:34,600 --> 00:57:37,760
wasn't 5 minutes, but you get 
what I'm saying. 20 spots. 

997
00:57:38,000 --> 00:57:40,600
Well, we can't compare event 
one. 

998
00:57:41,560 --> 00:57:43,400
You can with that type of 
domination. 

999
00:57:43,400 --> 00:57:44,520
All right. 
Well, you're telling me Tia's 

1000
00:57:44,520 --> 00:57:45,640
not a better runner than Laura 
I? 

1001
00:57:47,000 --> 00:57:51,920
Mean no but. 
Well, Europe was a shorter 

1002
00:57:51,920 --> 00:57:57,280
course than anywhere else, which
Tia still beat her right? 

1003
00:57:57,280 --> 00:58:01,880
And like he is going to be, he 
is going to be top three in any 

1004
00:58:01,880 --> 00:58:06,280
long running event. 
Laura's 10 to 15. 

1005
00:58:07,400 --> 00:58:09,520
Yeah, like, like here's the 
thing, like the events that 

1006
00:58:09,520 --> 00:58:12,320
Laura can beat Tia at. 
Laura can beat Tia, but they're 

1007
00:58:12,320 --> 00:58:15,520
by it's, it's going to be by 
like two or three places at the 

1008
00:58:15,520 --> 00:58:19,920
most. 
Tia, when she wins, Laura's 

1009
00:58:19,920 --> 00:58:22,440
going to be 10th place and 
there's going to be a couple 

1010
00:58:22,440 --> 00:58:24,160
events where Laura's right there
with Tia. 

1011
00:58:24,440 --> 00:58:26,960
But Laura isn't like that in 
every single event. 

1012
00:58:27,080 --> 00:58:29,720
You go look at the intervals 
where Emma Lawson made her move 

1013
00:58:29,720 --> 00:58:32,200
on the rowing. 
Like that was an event that I 

1014
00:58:32,200 --> 00:58:35,040
thought Laura would have killed 
the intervals last year in 23. 

1015
00:58:35,440 --> 00:58:38,400
The rowing is what made the 
difference. 

1016
00:58:38,560 --> 00:58:43,480
Laura is the best rower in the 
field and Emma Lawson took off 

1017
00:58:43,480 --> 00:58:45,960
from everybody and smoked 
everybody in the intervals. 

1018
00:58:45,960 --> 00:58:48,280
Where was Laura? 
She was like 20th place. 

1019
00:58:48,280 --> 00:58:52,120
It was one of her worst events. 
Like Tia doesn't have those. 

1020
00:58:53,760 --> 00:58:59,280
Is there any chance I I think 
that if there's a strict 

1021
00:58:59,280 --> 00:59:04,520
handstand push up workout 
regular like Maura, Maura could 

1022
00:59:04,520 --> 00:59:07,360
beat Tia in every other event 
and Tia would still win. 

1023
00:59:09,000 --> 00:59:11,040
If that if in a weird universe, 
yes. 

1024
00:59:11,720 --> 00:59:14,960
Right. 
Like because the point spread on

1025
00:59:14,960 --> 00:59:19,000
that would be so massive. 
Sure, and that's the issue is 

1026
00:59:19,000 --> 00:59:23,840
that anything that Tia is good 
at and or that Laura is great 

1027
00:59:23,840 --> 00:59:27,400
at, Tia's right behind her. 
Whereas anything that Laura, 

1028
00:59:27,760 --> 00:59:30,520
Laura doesn't suck at anything 
besides handstand push ups, she 

1029
00:59:30,520 --> 00:59:33,840
doesn't suck at anything. 
But there's people between her 

1030
00:59:33,840 --> 00:59:36,840
and Tia on those things. 
I think the better question is 

1031
00:59:36,960 --> 00:59:40,400
if there's a strict deficit 
handstand push up, because when 

1032
00:59:40,400 --> 00:59:43,440
I say that that means Laura 
Horvath's last place and I know 

1033
00:59:43,440 --> 00:59:47,400
she has improved but she still 
cannot do those. 

1034
00:59:47,480 --> 00:59:50,880
She could do, she did two, she 
could do 2 at row a couple years

1035
00:59:50,880 --> 00:59:53,480
ago. 
If there's that, can one of 

1036
00:59:53,480 --> 00:59:55,920
those girls in the 3rd row beat 
her? 

1037
00:59:56,200 --> 00:59:59,600
I think that's a better question
that Emma Lawson or Alexis and 

1038
00:59:59,600 --> 01:00:01,960
or Alexis Raptors with the 
perfect run of events. 

1039
01:00:02,240 --> 01:00:06,520
They can beat Laura if there is 
a devastating handstand push up 

1040
01:00:06,520 --> 01:00:08,160
event. 
Because just barely. 

1041
01:00:08,320 --> 01:00:12,280
That's zero points. 
If it happens, just still, just 

1042
01:00:12,280 --> 01:00:14,800
barely. 
No, I would still pick Laura, 

1043
01:00:15,000 --> 01:00:18,280
but I think I think the better 
question is could one of those 

1044
01:00:18,280 --> 01:00:22,280
girls end up eclipsing Laura 
versus talking about Laura in 

1045
01:00:22,280 --> 01:00:25,200
any circumstance with Tia? 
Laura doesn't deserve to be in 

1046
01:00:25,200 --> 01:00:27,320
the conversation with Tia. 
That's the gap. 

1047
01:00:27,360 --> 01:00:30,600
That I don't agree. 
No, no, it's the truth. 

1048
01:00:30,680 --> 01:00:32,200
You could not agree, but it's 
the truth. 

1049
01:00:32,480 --> 01:00:35,120
She should not. 
He's all you better get used to 

1050
01:00:35,120 --> 01:00:37,000
it because it's all anybody's 
going to be talking about from 

1051
01:00:37,000 --> 01:00:41,880
next. 
Then they're wrong, and if 

1052
01:00:41,880 --> 01:00:44,440
people think they're not wrong, 
they are. 

1053
01:00:45,080 --> 01:00:49,400
You don't understand. 
Tia is so much better than 

1054
01:00:49,400 --> 01:00:53,440
everybody else and I hate it. 
I don't care about Tia at all. 

1055
01:00:53,840 --> 01:00:57,080
I don't. 
I want her to retire because it 

1056
01:00:57,080 --> 01:00:59,440
makes the games boring. 
I don't know why I didn't want 

1057
01:00:59,440 --> 01:01:01,200
Matt to retire because that's 
the same thing. 

1058
01:01:01,200 --> 01:01:04,760
And I loved Matt when he was 
competing, but I don't feel that

1059
01:01:04,760 --> 01:01:06,800
way with Tia. 
And there's some people that are

1060
01:01:06,800 --> 01:01:09,760
going to be like Tia like is is 
awesome and she is freaking 

1061
01:01:09,760 --> 01:01:11,160
awesome. 
I won't argue that's just not 

1062
01:01:11,160 --> 01:01:14,560
because she is. 
But there's like the 

1063
01:01:14,560 --> 01:01:18,680
conversation is stupid to have. 
I hope there's a strict deposit.

1064
01:01:18,680 --> 01:01:21,160
Somebody who always wins, you're
just like, OK, it's not fun to 

1065
01:01:21,160 --> 01:01:23,400
play anymore. 
No, it's not like, and I hope 

1066
01:01:23,400 --> 01:01:25,480
like it's like Tyler, it's like 
if every single day we went and 

1067
01:01:25,480 --> 01:01:29,280
had a bench press contest. 
Is that fun to watch? 

1068
01:01:29,280 --> 01:01:31,160
Are people going to watch and be
interested in it? 

1069
01:01:31,440 --> 01:01:34,840
No. 
No, but like now say, but if 

1070
01:01:34,840 --> 01:01:39,080
there was a strict deficit 
handstand push up workout and 

1071
01:01:39,200 --> 01:01:42,640
Alexis Raptors won and then 
Alexis wrapped and there was 

1072
01:01:42,640 --> 01:01:44,320
like a very light squatting 
here. 

1073
01:01:44,320 --> 01:01:47,040
There wasn't a big squatting 
workout that she, you know, 

1074
01:01:47,240 --> 01:01:50,840
wouldn't do great at. 
And Alexis Raptors was five 

1075
01:01:50,840 --> 01:01:53,640
points away from Laura going 
into the last event. 

1076
01:01:53,960 --> 01:01:55,920
You're telling me that's not 
going to be exciting? 

1077
01:01:57,040 --> 01:01:59,600
For the first time ever, I'm 
going to be rooting for training

1078
01:01:59,600 --> 01:02:02,360
think tank and we're going to be
on the same team. 

1079
01:02:02,360 --> 01:02:03,600
We're going to be on the same 
team. 

1080
01:02:03,600 --> 01:02:05,440
Isn't that crazy? 
Isn't that crazy? 

1081
01:02:05,760 --> 01:02:09,440
You wouldn't root for that. 
No, and that well, what you're 

1082
01:02:09,440 --> 01:02:11,960
making me think about is what 
are the real stories And all of 

1083
01:02:11,960 --> 01:02:15,200
a sudden, if you do take Tia out
of the field, so we should, you 

1084
01:02:15,200 --> 01:02:18,080
know, it's like just banish her 
from the no one, pay attention 

1085
01:02:18,080 --> 01:02:19,320
to her. 
It's great if she wins, that's 

1086
01:02:19,320 --> 01:02:21,880
cool. 
Just pretend 2nd place is first 

1087
01:02:21,880 --> 01:02:25,800
place. 
Yeah, dude, just put Tia in our 

1088
01:02:25,800 --> 01:02:28,200
own heat. 
Dude, it's like that. 

1089
01:02:28,240 --> 01:02:32,040
I it's like the 2017 Warriors, 
like there's no point in even 

1090
01:02:32,040 --> 01:02:36,120
doing the season they've. 
Written with the boys like 

1091
01:02:36,120 --> 01:02:37,800
you've now graduated to the boys
I. 

1092
01:02:39,680 --> 01:02:41,080
Don't think that would work very
well. 

1093
01:02:41,320 --> 01:02:43,000
I don't. 
I don't think she gets last 

1094
01:02:43,000 --> 01:02:44,800
place. 
No, she doesn't get last. 

1095
01:02:46,520 --> 01:02:48,760
Does she make all the cuts? 
Do you think she can make top 

1096
01:02:48,760 --> 01:02:50,080
20? 
I mean, I think that would be a 

1097
01:02:50,080 --> 01:02:53,120
a really great. 
Here's the thing, you say no, 

1098
01:02:53,360 --> 01:02:56,760
you say no spin. 
She still wins the run, she 

1099
01:02:56,760 --> 01:03:00,360
still wins the swim. 
She still wins all of those 

1100
01:03:00,640 --> 01:03:03,520
events. 
Anything waits last place, 

1101
01:03:03,960 --> 01:03:08,320
right? 
But gymnastics, like she's 

1102
01:03:08,320 --> 01:03:12,360
better than 95% of the men and 
anything endurance and anything 

1103
01:03:12,360 --> 01:03:17,960
gymnastics. 
Yeah, I, I just, and I think 

1104
01:03:17,960 --> 01:03:21,040
we're going to get into it next 
week on looking at some events, 

1105
01:03:21,320 --> 01:03:24,120
but. 
You think they'll release next 

1106
01:03:24,120 --> 01:03:25,760
week? 
No, I'm saying like we'll talk 

1107
01:03:25,760 --> 01:03:28,640
about it next week on some of 
our thoughts on events, but you 

1108
01:03:29,800 --> 01:03:33,080
look at you look at semifinals, 
you look at semifinals like it 

1109
01:03:33,080 --> 01:03:36,400
was not gymnastics heavy. 
No, I think. 

1110
01:03:36,640 --> 01:03:38,240
The games might be. 
Right. 

1111
01:03:38,240 --> 01:03:41,280
So like what does the games look
like? 

1112
01:03:41,280 --> 01:03:43,920
But I don't, I also don't think 
it's going to be like they did 

1113
01:03:43,920 --> 01:03:48,080
last year where there's a super 
gymnastics heavy event, right? 

1114
01:03:48,080 --> 01:03:49,680
Like they threw a lot of the 
gymnastics. 

1115
01:03:50,640 --> 01:03:52,280
Oh, I think it'll be more like 
volume. 

1116
01:03:52,920 --> 01:03:55,280
I rather. 
Than and and it'll be paired 

1117
01:03:55,280 --> 01:03:58,160
with more stuff versus hey 
here's this one big event where 

1118
01:03:58,160 --> 01:04:01,280
you're going to do handstand 
walking and pullovers like. 

1119
01:04:02,320 --> 01:04:04,120
It's not just gymnastics. 
Right. 

1120
01:04:04,280 --> 01:04:07,120
Yeah, like it's going to be 
paired with a barbell or paired 

1121
01:04:07,120 --> 01:04:11,960
with something else, right. 
More often than not, which would

1122
01:04:11,960 --> 01:04:18,560
not lend to Tia's favor. 
Yeah, but you just got to do 

1123
01:04:18,560 --> 01:04:20,680
good in three events. 
Ghee does it every year. 

1124
01:04:26,040 --> 01:04:29,080
Yeah, before we move on. 
Hold on, hold on, Brian. 

1125
01:04:29,120 --> 01:04:33,160
Brian. 
So 279 points. 

1126
01:04:34,360 --> 01:04:37,280
Do you think Tia's capable of 
doing that 'cause I think she 

1127
01:04:37,280 --> 01:04:41,000
still wins two events beating. 
Matt's Matt's distance. 

1128
01:04:41,400 --> 01:04:43,240
No, just 270. 
Nine points. 

1129
01:04:43,240 --> 01:04:47,880
So in the 2024 games, In the 
2024 games, do you think if he 

1130
01:04:47,880 --> 01:04:50,720
was against the men? 
I think she still wins two 

1131
01:04:50,720 --> 01:04:53,240
events, whatever endurance 
events they are. 

1132
01:04:53,240 --> 01:04:54,520
I definitely think she wins the 
swim. 

1133
01:04:54,520 --> 01:04:56,080
Against the guys you think she 
wins. 

1134
01:04:56,160 --> 01:04:59,080
She was the best swimmer and she
was the best runner against all 

1135
01:04:59,080 --> 01:05:03,680
of the guys except for Kowski. 
So that many points would put 

1136
01:05:03,680 --> 01:05:09,000
her how many points? 
279 that would put her 29th 

1137
01:05:09,000 --> 01:05:12,240
place, yeah. 
Ahead of Jason Hopper. 

1138
01:05:12,840 --> 01:05:16,440
Ahead of Jason. 
I think she can do that. 

1139
01:05:16,440 --> 01:05:22,840
You don't think she can do that?
It depends on what the OK. 

1140
01:05:22,880 --> 01:05:26,320
Cross country 5K, she's got 100 
points right there. 

1141
01:05:26,560 --> 01:05:29,640
I think, well, no, I don't 
think, I don't think she beats 

1142
01:05:29,760 --> 01:05:32,480
Adler or Roman. 
I think she does 5K in a 

1143
01:05:32,480 --> 01:05:34,560
straight I I. 100% think she 
does. 

1144
01:05:34,640 --> 01:05:39,520
But not sure. 
I don't know if there's going to

1145
01:05:39,520 --> 01:05:40,840
be two. 
I don't think there's going to 

1146
01:05:40,840 --> 01:05:43,280
be two events like that. 
I don't think there's going to 

1147
01:05:43,280 --> 01:05:45,240
be a separate run and a separate
swim. 

1148
01:05:45,440 --> 01:05:49,320
But like now that we're inverted
medley, inverted medley, I think

1149
01:05:49,320 --> 01:05:51,760
she does fine there. 
I think she does better than a 

1150
01:05:51,760 --> 01:05:54,160
lot of the guys. 
Not not like crazy, but that's 

1151
01:05:54,160 --> 01:05:56,480
just gymnastics. 
And she probably would have been

1152
01:05:56,480 --> 01:06:00,760
close to winning it on the 
women's side, right, Right. 

1153
01:06:01,040 --> 01:06:02,960
So let's just let's just call 
her like, let's just call her 

1154
01:06:02,960 --> 01:06:06,240
like 15th place in that workout.
And then all the rest of these 

1155
01:06:06,240 --> 01:06:09,440
workouts, I think she gets last 
place because there is lifting 

1156
01:06:10,080 --> 01:06:12,800
Helena. 
Helena, she has to do a £50 

1157
01:06:12,800 --> 01:06:14,640
dumbbell snatch. 
I think she still does that 

1158
01:06:14,640 --> 01:06:16,280
unbroken. 
I think she runs faster than 

1159
01:06:16,280 --> 01:06:18,320
most of them in a range of 
motion is shorter than most. 

1160
01:06:18,320 --> 01:06:20,280
Of them she beats Jake Douglas 
and Bronislaw for. 

1161
01:06:20,280 --> 01:06:22,080
Sure I know. 
I dude I think she gets top ten 

1162
01:06:22,080 --> 01:06:25,040
in Helena with a £50 dumbbell. 
I think she can get top ten in 

1163
01:06:25,040 --> 01:06:26,760
Helena. 
It's £50. 

1164
01:06:26,760 --> 01:06:29,680
It's not like it's £70 like 
that's what she does anyway. 

1165
01:06:32,440 --> 01:06:36,440
Cross country, 5K, top five 
intervals, no shot. 

1166
01:06:36,480 --> 01:06:40,080
Let me total no shot. 
Muscle up logs, probably no 

1167
01:06:40,080 --> 01:06:42,520
shot. 
Yeah, that's it. 

1168
01:06:42,600 --> 01:06:44,080
So she got three events, I 
think. 

1169
01:06:44,320 --> 01:06:46,400
I think she can get 279 with for
sure. 

1170
01:06:48,400 --> 01:06:50,720
Boy, there was a lot of like 
lifting and a lot of events. 

1171
01:06:50,760 --> 01:06:54,320
I thought there was more. 
All the gymnastics was just 

1172
01:06:54,320 --> 01:06:57,240
getting pressed and they're 
basically 2 for the most part. 

1173
01:06:59,320 --> 01:07:02,440
All right, we got to move on. 
I'm sorry. 

1174
01:07:02,640 --> 01:07:03,880
Yeah, we went on a tangent 
there. 

1175
01:07:03,880 --> 01:07:06,160
I I apologize. 
You're good, you're good. 

1176
01:07:07,600 --> 01:07:12,000
So there is the final Games 
mountain of the 2024 CrossFit 

1177
01:07:12,000 --> 01:07:15,480
game season. 
We're just going to keep moving 

1178
01:07:15,480 --> 01:07:19,080
on to sorry viewers. 
I'm sorry viewers. 

1179
01:07:19,320 --> 01:07:21,560
Next time we'll do some extra 
comments. 

1180
01:07:21,920 --> 01:07:24,040
Vanilla ghetto. 
You had your shot. 

1181
01:07:25,560 --> 01:07:29,360
Give us a better comment, OK? 
Be more succinct, maybe a little

1182
01:07:29,360 --> 01:07:31,480
bit more brief. 
You read that long comment, 

1183
01:07:31,480 --> 01:07:34,040
nobody listened, and then we 
never came back to it. 

1184
01:07:34,680 --> 01:07:36,880
Exactly, exactly. 
It was. 

1185
01:07:36,880 --> 01:07:39,800
It was unique. 
Go back to last weeks and go 

1186
01:07:39,800 --> 01:07:43,800
read it if you care. 
How many y'all's y'all's answers

1187
01:07:43,800 --> 01:07:49,720
on these? 
All right, two so mid season 

1188
01:07:49,720 --> 01:07:52,520
awards. 
And Tyler should go first on all

1189
01:07:52,520 --> 01:07:55,560
of these. 
I should definitely not we're. 

1190
01:07:58,400 --> 01:08:00,800
Going to see how unprepared 
Tyler is. 

1191
01:08:01,120 --> 01:08:03,160
Why do you? 
Not do it. 

1192
01:08:03,640 --> 01:08:09,440
No I, I know 'cause I have a 
friggin job but also I watched 

1193
01:08:09,440 --> 01:08:11,320
all the semi finals so I I think
I'll be fine. 

1194
01:08:11,600 --> 01:08:15,120
This isn't just semi finals, 
this is this is the throughout 

1195
01:08:15,120 --> 01:08:17,800
the entire This is January 
through. 

1196
01:08:18,200 --> 01:08:20,520
Yeah, semi finals matter to me 
and that's it. 

1197
01:08:20,800 --> 01:08:23,439
Oh I was definitely going off of
semi finals. 

1198
01:08:24,760 --> 01:08:27,000
So it's semi finals I. 
Thought this was about 

1199
01:08:27,120 --> 01:08:30,120
superlatives for this. 
It was mid season. 

1200
01:08:30,240 --> 01:08:32,399
OK, I'll if I can come up with 
some off the top of my head, 

1201
01:08:32,399 --> 01:08:37,000
I'll change my hands, Yeah. 
I think most are, but in case, 

1202
01:08:38,200 --> 01:08:45,439
all right, the best performance 
in a single event, Tyler. 

1203
01:08:47,359 --> 01:08:51,920
This is Olivia Easy. 
Olivia Snatch. 

1204
01:08:52,000 --> 01:08:53,439
Yeah. 
Yeah, I think Olivia snatch 

1205
01:08:53,439 --> 01:08:55,760
workout is the best of 
performance you can say. 

1206
01:08:56,000 --> 01:08:58,640
You can say Colton's burpees, 
you could say Taylor versus 

1207
01:08:58,640 --> 01:09:03,040
Dallin, It does. 
It's nowhere close in relevance 

1208
01:09:03,040 --> 01:09:06,319
to what Olivia did in that 
snatch workout. 

1209
01:09:06,359 --> 01:09:08,399
The only. 
Thing I think it is actually 

1210
01:09:08,399 --> 01:09:10,720
better than Frazier's friendly 
friend. 

1211
01:09:10,720 --> 01:09:13,120
That's the only thing that it's 
in it that it can be talked 

1212
01:09:13,120 --> 01:09:17,000
about with the like how dominant
that performance was. 

1213
01:09:17,359 --> 01:09:20,160
Friendly friend's the only thing
comparable, nothing else. 

1214
01:09:20,200 --> 01:09:23,120
There is no event in CrossFit 
history where somebody dominated

1215
01:09:23,120 --> 01:09:27,880
the rest of the field as that 
event right there, that Olivia 

1216
01:09:27,880 --> 01:09:31,080
Snatch event. 
Yeah, that was that was my pick.

1217
01:09:32,319 --> 01:09:35,080
Yeah, I I still can't remember 
my reminder out of my sub four. 

1218
01:09:35,399 --> 01:09:38,439
You can't make it. 
It's it's. 

1219
01:09:38,720 --> 01:09:40,880
It will never I I still stand 
by. 

1220
01:09:40,880 --> 01:09:46,720
It will never be replicated. 
It's crazy the. 

1221
01:09:46,760 --> 01:09:48,479
Best one, somebody can do it 
again. 

1222
01:09:49,200 --> 01:09:51,720
They said that about the four. 
They said that. 

1223
01:09:51,720 --> 01:09:53,200
They said that about so many 
things. 

1224
01:09:53,240 --> 01:09:57,800
Tyler, like Usain Bolt broke 97 
and then like 18 guys did it 

1225
01:09:57,800 --> 01:10:00,280
immediately after. 
Not 18 but like Five guys did it

1226
01:10:00,280 --> 01:10:02,960
after. 
No one was in her stratosphere 

1227
01:10:03,280 --> 01:10:04,520
on that event. 
You're right. 

1228
01:10:05,680 --> 01:10:11,880
Yeah, the best overall 
competition performance. 

1229
01:10:15,080 --> 01:10:17,760
I sold on this. 
I said to you, to me during the 

1230
01:10:17,760 --> 01:10:21,320
semi finals, just because that 
is the best performance. 

1231
01:10:22,320 --> 01:10:27,520
She won five of the six events. 
The one she didn't win, she was 

1232
01:10:27,520 --> 01:10:31,640
third, right third or second. 
Like if you want to take like 

1233
01:10:31,640 --> 01:10:34,480
how many points somebody won in 
the whole competition percentage

1234
01:10:34,480 --> 01:10:37,280
wise, it probably is the record 
for that. 

1235
01:10:39,080 --> 01:10:42,120
And so I'd, I, you could say 
other people, I wouldn't be mad 

1236
01:10:42,120 --> 01:10:47,960
at it, but I put to you. 
I'll go with Yona for the open 

1237
01:10:47,960 --> 01:10:49,440
and quarterfinals, dude. 
No. 

1238
01:10:50,880 --> 01:10:53,080
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, 
no. 

1239
01:10:53,080 --> 01:10:53,800
Hold on. 
Tyler. 

1240
01:10:53,800 --> 01:10:56,280
Tyler. 
It's it's take everything. 

1241
01:10:57,040 --> 01:11:00,440
Uh huh. 
He the he was sick or something 

1242
01:11:00,440 --> 01:11:02,640
at semifinals. 
I think we would have saw 

1243
01:11:02,640 --> 01:11:05,840
something not equally as 
impressive, but like you add 

1244
01:11:05,840 --> 01:11:08,120
that together with those two, I 
still think it's super 

1245
01:11:08,120 --> 01:11:08,800
impressive. 
It is. 

1246
01:11:08,840 --> 01:11:10,640
Impressive he's the only one to 
do it right. 

1247
01:11:11,000 --> 01:11:13,400
Yeah. 
And nothing, nothing is as 

1248
01:11:13,400 --> 01:11:15,840
impressive when I look at 
semifinals. 

1249
01:11:15,840 --> 01:11:19,880
Nothing about those were as 
impressive as as those two 

1250
01:11:19,880 --> 01:11:21,880
performances to me. 
And it's back-to-back. 

1251
01:11:22,440 --> 01:11:28,520
So I'm, I'm standing by that. 
So this one I also went outside 

1252
01:11:28,520 --> 01:11:30,600
of semifinals. 
I actually was most impressed by

1253
01:11:30,600 --> 01:11:34,720
Jason Hopper at quarterfinals. 
On Taylor versus the World. 

1254
01:11:34,960 --> 01:11:37,840
Taylor versus the world. 
I, I, I like that answer too. 

1255
01:11:37,840 --> 01:11:39,840
Nobody picked him to win. 
I'm pretty sure we all picked 

1256
01:11:39,840 --> 01:11:42,320
him to be last we saw these 
events and we're like, they're 

1257
01:11:42,320 --> 01:11:45,560
not good for him. 
Especially after he was the last

1258
01:11:45,560 --> 01:11:46,880
place in the clean and jerk 
workout. 

1259
01:11:48,600 --> 01:11:49,840
No, it was very, very 
impressive. 

1260
01:11:50,640 --> 01:11:53,320
Yeah. 
That was just, I think it showed

1261
01:11:53,320 --> 01:11:56,080
that he's a different athlete 
this year versus what was last 

1262
01:11:56,080 --> 01:12:00,200
year. 
And and gave him gave, gave me 

1263
01:12:00,200 --> 01:12:04,160
the the thought that we can put 
Jason back up there on the 

1264
01:12:04,160 --> 01:12:07,480
mountain or in our rankings 
versus what we saw previously. 

1265
01:12:07,600 --> 01:12:10,720
Like for him to do as well as he
did on the muscle up workout 

1266
01:12:11,920 --> 01:12:15,080
like, yeah. 
So that's where I went with that

1267
01:12:15,080 --> 01:12:19,880
one. 
The biggest surprise of the 

1268
01:12:19,880 --> 01:12:25,520
season so far? 
You could go negative with this 

1269
01:12:25,520 --> 01:12:34,160
too, yeah. 
So I'll go. 

1270
01:12:34,160 --> 01:12:36,440
I'll go first. 
It has nothing to do with the 

1271
01:12:36,440 --> 01:12:39,840
actual competition. 
It was actually what we talked 

1272
01:12:39,840 --> 01:12:43,360
about earlier about Emma Lawson 
that she almost withdrew that. 

1273
01:12:44,680 --> 01:12:46,560
Was your biggest surprise. 
Biggest surprise? 

1274
01:12:46,560 --> 01:12:51,520
Yeah. 
Mine was Leahy. 

1275
01:12:51,840 --> 01:12:56,000
He wasn't going to the games, 
period, even if he had not hurt 

1276
01:12:56,000 --> 01:12:57,040
himself. 
I disagree. 

1277
01:12:57,040 --> 01:12:59,800
I disagree so hard. 
He was, he was, he was in 12th 

1278
01:12:59,800 --> 01:13:02,360
place. 
He was in 12th place with that. 

1279
01:13:02,480 --> 01:13:06,200
He looked so shitty. 
And he was about to win an event

1280
01:13:06,200 --> 01:13:08,280
looking. 
He was not going to last. 

1281
01:13:08,560 --> 01:13:11,800
He was not going to hold on. 
He looked shitty the first day 

1282
01:13:12,000 --> 01:13:15,000
and even shittier the 2nd. 
Day he did bad in the first 

1283
01:13:15,000 --> 01:13:18,680
event, the second day he got to 
12th place he looked shitty 

1284
01:13:18,720 --> 01:13:21,200
dude. 
You should have seen him on the 

1285
01:13:21,200 --> 01:13:23,720
fucking field man. 
He looked bad. 

1286
01:13:23,920 --> 01:13:25,960
He did not look like he was 
going to hold up. 

1287
01:13:27,480 --> 01:13:29,480
He looked shitty. 
He's dude. 

1288
01:13:29,520 --> 01:13:32,560
I am Tudor Magda on this. 
He's not going to the games 

1289
01:13:33,880 --> 01:13:35,320
ever. 
Ever. 

1290
01:13:36,480 --> 01:13:40,320
I was so pissed off. 
I didn't talk to Hiller about 

1291
01:13:40,320 --> 01:13:44,440
it, but I was pissed because I 
believed it was all hype from 

1292
01:13:44,440 --> 01:13:47,360
Hiller and I was like, I bought 
into this dude because of you. 

1293
01:13:48,320 --> 01:13:51,160
He's never going to the games. 
Respectfully, like and look, 

1294
01:13:51,160 --> 01:13:52,560
he's not what Hiller thinks he 
is. 

1295
01:13:52,560 --> 01:13:57,000
But respectfully, I think we 
want I, I think, I think Leahy. 

1296
01:13:57,120 --> 01:14:01,240
I think. 
And listen, he's like, we can 

1297
01:14:01,240 --> 01:14:02,960
all agree he's not as good as 
Hatfield. 

1298
01:14:02,960 --> 01:14:05,400
We know this. 
But I do think he's a Games 

1299
01:14:05,400 --> 01:14:07,080
athlete. 
I think he's a top 20 Games 

1300
01:14:07,080 --> 01:14:09,160
athlete. 
The guy can do things that other

1301
01:14:09,160 --> 01:14:12,560
people can't and like like 
athletically. 

1302
01:14:13,720 --> 01:14:15,160
And I think he would have made 
the Games. 

1303
01:14:15,240 --> 01:14:16,400
I do. 
He might have looked really, 

1304
01:14:16,400 --> 01:14:18,160
really bad, but he was on his 
way back. 

1305
01:14:18,680 --> 01:14:23,880
He had events that weren't very 
conditioning and I think he 

1306
01:14:23,880 --> 01:14:25,320
would have, I think he would 
have made the Games. 

1307
01:14:26,080 --> 01:14:28,600
I'm batting 1000 on my picks to 
not go to the games. 

1308
01:14:28,600 --> 01:14:32,040
I'm just saying. 
He's not, he's not, he's not 

1309
01:14:32,040 --> 01:14:37,160
wrong. 
The Tony tone. 

1310
01:14:37,640 --> 01:14:42,160
Why did Emma almost withdraw? 
Go look at my latest post. 

1311
01:14:42,560 --> 01:14:46,000
I did a clip of her coach Josh 
Wooley talking about it and then

1312
01:14:46,000 --> 01:14:50,840
there's a full recap of semi 
finals on the Mammoth Training 

1313
01:14:50,840 --> 01:14:53,880
Methods YouTube page, so go 
check that out. 

1314
01:14:55,920 --> 01:14:57,680
I didn't say mine. 
Yeah, John. 

1315
01:14:57,960 --> 01:15:03,480
My biggest surprise is I I have 
like an event surprise and a 

1316
01:15:03,480 --> 01:15:08,040
person surprise was Fuliano's 
five O 1 on. 

1317
01:15:08,960 --> 01:15:11,440
The snatch. 
On the snatch ladder, yeah, I 

1318
01:15:11,440 --> 01:15:16,000
think as far as something we did
not expect from anybody other 

1319
01:15:16,000 --> 01:15:19,000
than Danielle Brandon sucking it
up on the handstand walk event. 

1320
01:15:19,640 --> 01:15:23,720
Like I don't think anybody, 
anybody thought Fuliano could do

1321
01:15:23,720 --> 01:15:28,840
that on the snatch ladder to be 
five O 1 to beat Laura in that 

1322
01:15:29,080 --> 01:15:31,800
what I think the third fastest 
time in the world. 

1323
01:15:33,960 --> 01:15:36,280
I'm going to have to explain 
what I mean by this. 

1324
01:15:36,600 --> 01:15:41,320
People still don't get it. 
I I think I'm in people camp 

1325
01:15:41,480 --> 01:15:43,000
there because I don't. 
Get it either. 

1326
01:15:43,440 --> 01:15:49,000
But I think Fulliano's five O 
one was the most surprising 

1327
01:15:49,320 --> 01:15:53,560
event that we did not expect. 
And then as a person, I'm going 

1328
01:15:53,560 --> 01:15:57,760
to say Chris Ibarra, like we 
after the first event, we're 

1329
01:15:57,760 --> 01:15:59,480
like, OK, that's good for that 
guy. 

1330
01:15:59,480 --> 01:16:01,120
Like, yeah, he did good in the 
event. 

1331
01:16:01,160 --> 01:16:04,600
And then after day two, OK, 
sticking around, he's gonna, you

1332
01:16:04,600 --> 01:16:06,040
know, I wonder when he's gonna 
fall off. 

1333
01:16:06,360 --> 01:16:08,520
And then he, the guy just never 
did. 

1334
01:16:08,880 --> 01:16:11,000
And it wasn't like he hit home 
runs. 

1335
01:16:11,320 --> 01:16:13,920
It wasn't like, oh, he's just 
really good at running or he's 

1336
01:16:13,920 --> 01:16:15,480
just really good at he's really 
strong. 

1337
01:16:16,080 --> 01:16:22,520
He was just 7th place the whole 
time with everything, even in 

1338
01:16:22,520 --> 01:16:25,600
the snatch ladder, which is 
supposed to be what he was bad 

1339
01:16:25,600 --> 01:16:29,240
at like and his Max, you know, 
his maxes are weaker than like 

1340
01:16:29,480 --> 01:16:33,120
of the strong guys. 
But I was just very impressed 

1341
01:16:33,120 --> 01:16:34,840
with that and that was my 
biggest surprise. 

1342
01:16:35,000 --> 01:16:40,080
Yeah, when I saw Barack and saw 
in, because I was listening to 

1343
01:16:40,080 --> 01:16:43,640
it as I was driving to 
Yellowstone and I was like, oh, 

1344
01:16:43,640 --> 01:16:45,680
there's a guy. 
Well, he'll be the one on the 

1345
01:16:45,680 --> 01:16:48,120
men's side. 
Who falls out? 

1346
01:16:48,200 --> 01:16:50,400
You look, you talk about him on 
Friday and then on Sunday it's 

1347
01:16:50,400 --> 01:16:52,640
going to be like, look, he's in 
16th. 

1348
01:16:52,640 --> 01:16:53,480
Cool. 
That's cute. 

1349
01:16:53,640 --> 01:16:55,680
Yeah, he's killing it. 
It was crazy. 

1350
01:16:55,680 --> 01:16:57,200
I was like, this guy can't hold 
out. 

1351
01:16:57,200 --> 01:16:58,960
And then it just kept going. 
I was like, oh. 

1352
01:16:59,360 --> 01:17:01,960
Oh, and it was very Justin 
Medaris like. 

1353
01:17:02,120 --> 01:17:07,600
Like he just was always 7th. 
Like I just never did worse than

1354
01:17:07,600 --> 01:17:09,360
that. 
He had all top 10s except for 

1355
01:17:09,800 --> 01:17:13,200
one event. 
I think that was event 4 so. 

1356
01:17:13,440 --> 01:17:20,120
Not the best rower. 
No biggest disappointment I 

1357
01:17:20,120 --> 01:17:24,400
picked Kowski I. 
I mean, I know you can go 

1358
01:17:24,400 --> 01:17:29,080
sentimental and pick Colton or 
Taylor, but I think Kowski is a 

1359
01:17:29,080 --> 01:17:31,200
bigger disappointment than 
either one of those guys. 

1360
01:17:31,200 --> 01:17:33,840
I think Kowski not making the 
games is the craziest. 

1361
01:17:34,200 --> 01:17:36,760
Didn't make the games out of 
everybody else. 

1362
01:17:37,160 --> 01:17:39,360
And you you could roll with this
any sentimental one. 

1363
01:17:39,360 --> 01:17:42,280
You can roll with Olivia if you 
want to, but Kowski is a 

1364
01:17:42,280 --> 01:17:45,440
literally top ten, fittest guy 
in the world, top ten games 

1365
01:17:45,440 --> 01:17:51,400
athlete and he didn't make it 
for whatever reason, whether 

1366
01:17:51,400 --> 01:17:54,000
he's sick or hurt or whatever, I
don't care, but he didn't make 

1367
01:17:54,000 --> 01:17:55,160
it. 
So that's the biggest 

1368
01:17:55,160 --> 01:17:56,640
appointment, this appointment, 
Tyler. 

1369
01:17:57,160 --> 01:18:01,040
Colton yeah, I I went with a 
sentimental pick. 

1370
01:18:01,120 --> 01:18:04,280
Colton, Like I looked at it more
of what am I most disappointed 

1371
01:18:04,280 --> 01:18:07,600
and not seen And that was him 
not making the games. 

1372
01:18:07,800 --> 01:18:11,800
Yeah, it it sucked. 
And like, he just, it's like 

1373
01:18:11,800 --> 01:18:14,720
sometimes you just grab onto the
rings and you get a bad kilter 

1374
01:18:14,720 --> 01:18:16,320
going and you start swinging 
back. 

1375
01:18:16,320 --> 01:18:18,800
He had all that, like everything
that could go wrong in that 

1376
01:18:18,800 --> 01:18:20,760
event did. 
And yeah, you can say like, 

1377
01:18:20,760 --> 01:18:22,760
well, you know, he's the guy at 
the helm. 

1378
01:18:22,760 --> 01:18:25,520
He should be able to control it.
But it was just like sometimes 

1379
01:18:25,520 --> 01:18:27,840
you just get hit and. 
Taylor said the same thing 

1380
01:18:27,840 --> 01:18:29,520
happened to him, too. 
Yeah. 

1381
01:18:30,640 --> 01:18:33,840
All right, here we go. 
Before I read this, that's the 

1382
01:18:33,920 --> 01:18:40,240
Thunderbolt, baby, let's go. 
That's right, the unknown cacao.

1383
01:18:41,000 --> 01:18:44,160
I can't comprehend the contempt 
for Tia's dominance. 

1384
01:18:44,760 --> 01:18:47,320
It honestly blows my mind that 
so many people fail to 

1385
01:18:47,320 --> 01:18:50,000
appreciate the beauty of true 
dominance. 

1386
01:18:50,200 --> 01:18:53,760
I'll take undisputed greatness 
over a competitive field of also

1387
01:18:53,760 --> 01:18:57,280
Rans any day. 
I don't get the also rans, can 

1388
01:18:57,360 --> 01:18:59,720
you explain that? 
Also ran in the race. 

1389
01:19:00,440 --> 01:19:03,680
Yeah, just like everybody else. 
Oh, I got, I got like. 

1390
01:19:03,960 --> 01:19:08,200
Would you rather have parity 
across but not a great? 

1391
01:19:08,400 --> 01:19:10,320
I have AI have a response for 
the unknown. 

1392
01:19:10,480 --> 01:19:11,800
Unless Tyler, you want to go 
first. 

1393
01:19:12,200 --> 01:19:15,680
Well, the only thing I wanted to
say is the reason we love 

1394
01:19:16,080 --> 01:19:18,480
Michael Jordan is because he had
to battle so much. 

1395
01:19:18,640 --> 01:19:20,840
Like it was almost always out 
for them. 

1396
01:19:22,480 --> 01:19:24,480
Like they I. 
Disagree, they were always the 

1397
01:19:24,480 --> 01:19:26,720
favorite. 
They were always the favorite, 

1398
01:19:26,720 --> 01:19:29,560
but they always, there was 
always moments where it's like 

1399
01:19:29,720 --> 01:19:33,560
they might lose it right here. 
Dude, they were supposed to win 

1400
01:19:33,560 --> 01:19:36,600
every single year. 
They there was some. 

1401
01:19:36,760 --> 01:19:39,320
OK, fine. 
I know that was a bad analogy. 

1402
01:19:39,320 --> 01:19:40,480
It's awesome. 
No, it wasn't. 

1403
01:19:40,480 --> 01:19:41,760
You just don't get it. 
Go ahead. 

1404
01:19:44,080 --> 01:19:45,760
I'm sorry that I ruined that for
you then. 

1405
01:19:45,760 --> 01:19:51,280
I don't think that was a good. 
But the I, the unknown, whoever 

1406
01:19:51,280 --> 01:19:55,320
you are, I did appreciate it 
with Matt Fraser. 

1407
01:19:56,560 --> 01:19:59,120
I thought it was beautiful. 
I wanted to see Matt's 

1408
01:19:59,120 --> 01:20:02,080
dominance. 
I don't know why I don't feel 

1409
01:20:02,080 --> 01:20:04,240
the same way with Tia, but I 
don't. 

1410
01:20:04,560 --> 01:20:10,960
It maybe I'm sexist. 
Isn't there like a like you want

1411
01:20:10,960 --> 01:20:16,160
to see the greatness, but then 
as they get so great, you want 

1412
01:20:16,160 --> 01:20:22,120
to see like, I think the tide 
starts to turn and it's like, I 

1413
01:20:22,120 --> 01:20:25,720
just want to see somebody 
overthrow that person, right? 

1414
01:20:25,720 --> 01:20:29,320
Like it's like that one person 
versus a field. 

1415
01:20:29,320 --> 01:20:37,680
It's Tiger versus. 
I liked it with with Tiger, but 

1416
01:20:37,680 --> 01:20:39,000
there's a lot of people that 
don't, right? 

1417
01:20:39,000 --> 01:20:42,880
Like there's a lot of people 
that want to after Tiger became 

1418
01:20:42,880 --> 01:20:45,280
so dominant, it's like, OK, it's
cool. 

1419
01:20:45,760 --> 01:20:47,880
I didn't. 
I want to see somebody over take

1420
01:20:47,880 --> 01:20:49,880
him down on the 72nd hole, 
right? 

1421
01:20:50,080 --> 01:20:56,640
Yeah, yeah. 
Is it it's her greatness is 

1422
01:20:56,640 --> 01:20:59,480
still appreciated. 
It's not that that's not 

1423
01:20:59,480 --> 01:21:01,960
appreciated. 
It's just like we need some that

1424
01:21:01,960 --> 01:21:05,040
it's just, it's not fun watching
somebody went over and over 

1425
01:21:05,040 --> 01:21:07,040
again like it's, it's just 
boring. 

1426
01:21:08,080 --> 01:21:10,400
And I, I like, and maybe this is
what, maybe this is what you're 

1427
01:21:10,400 --> 01:21:15,560
getting at, Tyler. 
I, I, I think like what y'all 

1428
01:21:15,560 --> 01:21:17,640
are saying, like you just 
happened to fall on one of the 

1429
01:21:17,640 --> 01:21:20,000
sides. 
You either love it or you don't 

1430
01:21:20,000 --> 01:21:23,600
love it because I'm thinking of 
every dynasty or every like 

1431
01:21:23,600 --> 01:21:26,440
dominating force. 
And there are some I was all 

1432
01:21:26,440 --> 01:21:29,000
about and then there were some 
that I could not. 

1433
01:21:29,120 --> 01:21:31,880
I wanted them to lose. 
I didn't want the Patriots to 

1434
01:21:31,880 --> 01:21:34,040
win. 
I hated the Patriots dynasty. 

1435
01:21:34,840 --> 01:21:38,000
I hated the Warriors dynasty, 
mostly because I was a LeBron 

1436
01:21:38,040 --> 01:21:42,200
fan. 
But I love Tiger and I love Matt

1437
01:21:42,200 --> 01:21:46,880
Fraser and I don't care for Tia,
like you know what I mean? 

1438
01:21:46,880 --> 01:21:49,400
I just like, I think you're just
going to fall on one sided or 

1439
01:21:49,400 --> 01:21:51,040
not. 
And I don't know which what 

1440
01:21:51,040 --> 01:21:53,760
determines what side you fall 
on, but. 

1441
01:21:54,840 --> 01:22:00,800
And I also think like we can 
appreciate Tia's ability, but I 

1442
01:22:00,800 --> 01:22:07,360
like going down to the wire on 
Sunday, like the men's field was

1443
01:22:07,440 --> 01:22:11,000
last year, even the women's 
field to some extent, getting to

1444
01:22:11,080 --> 01:22:13,400
that final event where it's all 
on the line. 

1445
01:22:13,400 --> 01:22:16,320
Like that's about as exciting as
it gets. 

1446
01:22:16,320 --> 01:22:19,680
Like Rogue Invitational two 
years ago, right with with 

1447
01:22:19,680 --> 01:22:23,640
Velner and how he gave it up on 
the last 27th clean and jerk 

1448
01:22:23,680 --> 01:22:31,080
like that was exciting. 
If Velner was up 300 points and 

1449
01:22:31,080 --> 01:22:33,280
he does that and he wins, like, 
OK, right. 

1450
01:22:33,280 --> 01:22:38,200
Like there's something about the
excitement of watching that and 

1451
01:22:38,200 --> 01:22:41,800
we can appreciate Tia the first 
three days, but we want to see a

1452
01:22:41,800 --> 01:22:43,600
battle at least that's. 
What I want to see, I think 

1453
01:22:43,600 --> 01:22:47,280
that's why people love Rich so 
much, because Rich had a little 

1454
01:22:47,280 --> 01:22:50,640
bit of both. 
Like he was dominant one every 

1455
01:22:50,640 --> 01:22:57,680
year, but not not so dominant 
that you just knew he was going 

1456
01:22:57,680 --> 01:22:59,560
to win. 
Like there was always hope. 

1457
01:22:59,560 --> 01:23:02,440
Khalipa was in first place for a
couple days like. 

1458
01:23:02,480 --> 01:23:08,920
That's what Tia needs to do to 
to keep interest is just let him

1459
01:23:08,920 --> 01:23:11,040
win for a couple and like keep 
him in the hunt. 

1460
01:23:11,040 --> 01:23:14,200
And then just last day, OK, I'm 
a hit homers now. 

1461
01:23:14,400 --> 01:23:18,840
This grinds my gears Jeff. 
OK I am like the one of the most

1462
01:23:18,840 --> 01:23:23,400
#1 proponent for Australians and
all of analysts land. 

1463
01:23:23,400 --> 01:23:26,200
I've been screaming Ricky 
Garrard when everybody hates 

1464
01:23:26,200 --> 01:23:28,000
him. 
Get out of here Jeff. 

1465
01:23:29,480 --> 01:23:32,000
I'm not a big TF fan. 
T is American now anyway, she's 

1466
01:23:32,040 --> 01:23:35,920
North America East. 
So the unknown. 

1467
01:23:36,720 --> 01:23:39,600
Thank you. 
That's right. 

1468
01:23:41,840 --> 01:23:49,360
There you go, the next category.
Best training camp so far I. 

1469
01:23:50,960 --> 01:23:54,800
Think it's got to be mayhem? 
No, no, definitely not. 

1470
01:23:55,120 --> 01:23:58,600
You don't think so? 
No, I mean it's like underdogs. 

1471
01:23:58,920 --> 01:24:02,640
If you just throw all the like, 
if you have all the bodies, it 

1472
01:24:02,640 --> 01:24:05,440
just seems weird like they 
they're winning the volume game.

1473
01:24:06,200 --> 01:24:09,520
They. 
Always won the volume game, but 

1474
01:24:09,520 --> 01:24:13,400
like, I don't like when Brute 
had five, five or five go to the

1475
01:24:13,400 --> 01:24:14,920
games. 
I thought they were man. 

1476
01:24:14,960 --> 01:24:16,440
A lot of their five were top 
ten. 

1477
01:24:18,320 --> 01:24:19,400
Who? 
Who is it then? 

1478
01:24:19,440 --> 01:24:22,200
Who is it then, Brian? 
It's underdogs. 

1479
01:24:23,520 --> 01:24:24,920
Underdog. 
I mean, Gracie won. 

1480
01:24:24,920 --> 01:24:27,240
They basically they basically 
send Australia through the 

1481
01:24:27,280 --> 01:24:29,560
games. 
Yeah, yeah. 

1482
01:24:30,360 --> 01:24:34,320
They have they have 7 athletes 
going to the games. 

1483
01:24:35,080 --> 01:24:39,400
And their camp's not huge. 
You got you got Ricky Gracie. 

1484
01:24:41,480 --> 01:24:43,640
Kyra. 
He is a bad girl. 

1485
01:24:43,640 --> 01:24:48,280
That's right. 
You got Alex Bailey, Luka Jukic 

1486
01:24:48,280 --> 01:24:55,400
is with her, Kyra and Ivan 
Kukartsev. 7 underdog athletes 

1487
01:24:55,400 --> 01:24:59,240
are going. 
Yeah, yeah, no, you're probably 

1488
01:24:59,240 --> 01:25:01,440
right. 
But like, I think like 9 at the 

1489
01:25:01,480 --> 01:25:05,400
top 15 guys were from Mayhem in 
North America East alone. 

1490
01:25:05,400 --> 01:25:07,200
That's 'cause they sent like 80 
people there. 

1491
01:25:07,480 --> 01:25:10,320
Again, absolutely right the. 
Chinese method. 

1492
01:25:10,480 --> 01:25:13,600
Here's the Austin. 
Austin Hatfield is with Mayhem, 

1493
01:25:14,040 --> 01:25:16,640
OK? 
So you're now the Mayhem train. 

1494
01:25:16,640 --> 01:25:18,600
I don't count him as the Mayhem 
athlete. 

1495
01:25:18,640 --> 01:25:20,320
He's not been there long enough 
yet. 

1496
01:25:20,360 --> 01:25:21,680
I. 
You know, that's like saying 

1497
01:25:21,680 --> 01:25:25,280
that Luca, you can't count Luca 
on underdogs. 

1498
01:25:25,680 --> 01:25:27,680
You just did. 
That's what that I mean. 

1499
01:25:27,680 --> 01:25:29,720
That's what Tyler's saying. 
I'm counting. 

1500
01:25:29,720 --> 01:25:31,760
Just. 
No, I'm with you, Tyler. 

1501
01:25:31,760 --> 01:25:33,600
Austin Hatfield's team, West 
Virginia. 

1502
01:25:33,640 --> 01:25:37,080
That's it. 
I mean HWPO got Velner so. 

1503
01:25:37,240 --> 01:25:39,960
I will never call Velner an HWPO
athlete. 

1504
01:25:40,840 --> 01:25:42,760
Velner is Canadian. 
That's a weird one. 

1505
01:25:43,240 --> 01:25:46,920
Velner's Team Canada. 
I will never call him an HWPO 

1506
01:25:46,920 --> 01:25:48,640
athlete. 
I would. 

1507
01:25:48,800 --> 01:25:50,880
Why did they have they bought 
Velder? 

1508
01:25:50,880 --> 01:25:53,440
Because everybody else left. 
It's like the Yankees, they just

1509
01:25:53,440 --> 01:25:55,840
buy them out. 
And they keep recycling people. 

1510
01:25:55,840 --> 01:25:57,720
How many people can we burn out 
a year? 

1511
01:25:58,800 --> 01:26:02,040
Something like that. 
Best Newcomer Award. 

1512
01:26:03,560 --> 01:26:04,840
Underdogs had a pretty great 
camp. 

1513
01:26:04,840 --> 01:26:08,280
You're not wrong, Ryan, but I'm 
I'm usually always I'm I'm 

1514
01:26:08,280 --> 01:26:11,240
usually always like the like, 
you know, I'm always big on 

1515
01:26:11,240 --> 01:26:12,640
underdogs. 
So I just thought that was 

1516
01:26:12,640 --> 01:26:15,320
without saying but. 
Go ahead. 

1517
01:26:15,360 --> 01:26:19,840
Do they have to be a rookie? 
No, it's a newcomer, your 

1518
01:26:19,840 --> 01:26:22,000
choice. 
We'll see how bad of your choice

1519
01:26:22,000 --> 01:26:25,360
is, but best newcomer? 
It was not called best Rookie of

1520
01:26:25,360 --> 01:26:27,240
the Year. 
Travis Mayer. 

1521
01:26:29,880 --> 01:26:34,360
The oldest guy in the field. 
Now I wanted to go with Lydia. 

1522
01:26:35,080 --> 01:26:38,640
Like I know she's technically 
not new. 

1523
01:26:38,640 --> 01:26:40,840
She's been in semifinals before.
I I love that pic. 

1524
01:26:42,080 --> 01:26:44,720
But she just, she grew so much 
this year. 

1525
01:26:45,480 --> 01:26:48,280
And so yeah, Lydia Fish is my 
pick and and like, she just 

1526
01:26:48,280 --> 01:26:51,560
outdid herself. 
And I think she proved that her 

1527
01:26:51,560 --> 01:26:54,400
her career coming forward is 
going to be great as long as she

1528
01:26:54,400 --> 01:26:58,800
can stay away from whatever 
monsters is getting Emma and 

1529
01:26:58,800 --> 01:27:00,800
everybody else. 
How? 

1530
01:27:00,800 --> 01:27:03,240
How old is she? 
19 or 20? 

1531
01:27:03,240 --> 01:27:05,800
Oh, by the time she makes the 
game, she's over the She could 

1532
01:27:05,800 --> 01:27:07,320
drink, she's fine. 
That's the age cut off. 

1533
01:27:07,840 --> 01:27:11,280
That's when the that's when, 
yeah, you know, for mental, for 

1534
01:27:11,280 --> 01:27:14,160
mental battles, not a problem. 
That's 21. 

1535
01:27:14,360 --> 01:27:17,160
She's with Adam anyway, so I 
think she'll be fine. 

1536
01:27:18,440 --> 01:27:21,280
Well we thought Emma boss and 
well picture of mental. 

1537
01:27:22,320 --> 01:27:25,280
No, she's with parent. 
But either way, it's it the saw 

1538
01:27:25,280 --> 01:27:26,960
it safe pick. 
John. 

1539
01:27:27,360 --> 01:27:29,720
I I wouldn't. 
Can I speak on Lydia for a 

1540
01:27:29,720 --> 01:27:32,960
minute? 
Yeah, I I 100% agree with Lydia.

1541
01:27:32,960 --> 01:27:37,400
I think it's an awesome pick. 
I think if Lydia gets 30 lbs 

1542
01:27:37,400 --> 01:27:42,520
stronger on everything like her 
the big the big like static 

1543
01:27:42,520 --> 01:27:46,720
lifts, 15 lbs stronger on the 
Olympic lifts, I think she could

1544
01:27:46,720 --> 01:27:50,240
be top ten in the games. 
I think because if you look at 

1545
01:27:50,240 --> 01:27:55,480
her placements, her just being a
little bit stronger puts her 

1546
01:27:55,480 --> 01:27:59,760
like 10 spots. 
More like she struggled with the

1547
01:27:59,760 --> 01:28:01,640
front squat, she struggled with 
the lunges. 

1548
01:28:01,960 --> 01:28:05,560
She rowing stronger is going to 
help her legs like it's just 

1549
01:28:05,560 --> 01:28:08,520
strength for her. 
She has all the skills. 

1550
01:28:08,520 --> 01:28:11,040
She's aerobic and she's a 
gymnastics freak. 

1551
01:28:11,400 --> 01:28:15,040
I think Lydia Fish is going to 
be one of the next upper like 

1552
01:28:15,120 --> 01:28:18,240
like games perennial athletes 
that we see their name every 

1553
01:28:18,240 --> 01:28:21,120
single year. 
I think she's the next one. 

1554
01:28:22,360 --> 01:28:23,560
Like she's. 
The next Haley Adams. 

1555
01:28:24,520 --> 01:28:27,640
No, 'cause she's not as a she's,
I don't think I'm not going to 

1556
01:28:27,640 --> 01:28:30,400
say that you well. 
You I OK, well, what I'm saying?

1557
01:28:30,400 --> 01:28:32,160
Is. 
It fittest woman, let me let me 

1558
01:28:32,160 --> 01:28:34,480
qualify what I'm saying. 
Maybe not better. 

1559
01:28:34,760 --> 01:28:38,040
I don't think she'll be top for 
a while, but like across the 

1560
01:28:38,040 --> 01:28:41,120
board, she won't have huge holes
like Haley Will did. 

1561
01:28:41,280 --> 01:28:42,840
Well, Haley's huge holes are 
lifting. 

1562
01:28:43,560 --> 01:28:46,280
Right, it's the same as Lydia. 
Well, I know, but I think, I 

1563
01:28:46,280 --> 01:28:49,360
think Lydia makes up for that. 
I don't think that it hangs on 

1564
01:28:49,360 --> 01:28:52,360
for her like it did with Haley. 
Do you think Lydia's ability to 

1565
01:28:52,400 --> 01:28:55,280
improve her lifting will be 
better than Haley? 

1566
01:28:55,360 --> 01:28:59,480
Because I think that's something
that we could very much see. 

1567
01:28:59,480 --> 01:29:01,800
Like Haley. 
Haley's body does not want to 

1568
01:29:01,800 --> 01:29:03,280
get strong. 
It doesn't. 

1569
01:29:03,400 --> 01:29:05,160
It's like it's so hard for 
Haley. 

1570
01:29:05,160 --> 01:29:10,640
To get Lydia moves so much 
better than Haley, her potential

1571
01:29:10,640 --> 01:29:13,400
to get stronger is there. 
I don't know if she'll ever be 

1572
01:29:13,400 --> 01:29:15,280
as fit as Haley, but I do think 
she's the next. 

1573
01:29:15,440 --> 01:29:18,520
She's the next big name that we 
see every single year. 

1574
01:29:19,720 --> 01:29:23,920
Exactly how I feel about 
Hatfield, not as strongly 

1575
01:29:23,920 --> 01:29:28,920
because I think Hatfield could 
his potential higher yes, I I 

1576
01:29:28,960 --> 01:29:32,280
believe that, but Lydia's going 
to be she's potential top ten. 

1577
01:29:32,360 --> 01:29:36,080
I really like it and when you 
can see that from this far out, 

1578
01:29:36,400 --> 01:29:39,680
like didn't even make the games 
right and you think that it's 

1579
01:29:39,680 --> 01:29:42,840
pretty exciting, especially if 
it happens like you're seeing it

1580
01:29:42,840 --> 01:29:45,360
with Hatfield, it happening step
by step. 

1581
01:29:46,440 --> 01:29:48,680
Same thing's going to happen 
with Lydia, at least I believe. 

1582
01:29:48,680 --> 01:29:51,080
Maybe I'm wrong, but I believe 
that about Lydia Fish too. 

1583
01:29:51,280 --> 01:29:53,560
So top ten perennial top ten 
athlete. 

1584
01:29:53,840 --> 01:29:55,320
She's Haley Adams. 
Got it. 

1585
01:29:55,760 --> 01:29:58,320
Haley Adams. 
Is top five. 

1586
01:29:59,600 --> 01:30:02,480
Best newcomer, John. 
I, I mean, I'm, I'm going to 

1587
01:30:02,520 --> 01:30:06,160
roll with my roll with my guy 
Austin Hatfield. 

1588
01:30:06,280 --> 01:30:07,760
Austin, yeah. 
That was, that was. 

1589
01:30:07,960 --> 01:30:10,960
It's it's easy to say Jack 
Rosemo, I think because I think 

1590
01:30:10,960 --> 01:30:15,080
he had the best showing him and 
Hattie Cano, but I think Hattie 

1591
01:30:15,080 --> 01:30:16,440
Cano's a bit of a one hit 
wonder. 

1592
01:30:16,440 --> 01:30:17,640
I don't think we're going to see
your name again. 

1593
01:30:17,640 --> 01:30:20,800
No offense, Hattie. 
How dare you. 

1594
01:30:21,160 --> 01:30:24,440
She's coming on sevens. 
I, I know and she's awesome. 

1595
01:30:24,520 --> 01:30:27,320
And I, I called her to make it. 
Nobody else called her to make 

1596
01:30:27,320 --> 01:30:28,120
it. 
Patrick Clark. 

1597
01:30:29,520 --> 01:30:31,240
Not Patrick Clark. 
Clydesdale did. 

1598
01:30:31,280 --> 01:30:34,160
Clydesdale did. 
But he he says everybody. 

1599
01:30:34,160 --> 01:30:35,320
That's 'cause she was on her 
show for. 

1600
01:30:35,320 --> 01:30:38,000
He says Sax is going to win the 
game, so it's hard to take that 

1601
01:30:38,000 --> 01:30:41,120
seriously. 
But I, Austin Hadfield's my best

1602
01:30:41,120 --> 01:30:44,080
newcomer and I say best newcomer
because I think he will do the 

1603
01:30:44,080 --> 01:30:48,240
best in the games of the new of 
the rookies. 

1604
01:30:48,280 --> 01:30:50,680
That's what I was going off of. 
That's fair. 

1605
01:30:50,920 --> 01:30:52,720
I love Tyler's answer. 
I think Tyler had the best 

1606
01:30:52,720 --> 01:30:57,640
answer to this, but I. 
My my best newcomer is Ibarra. 

1607
01:30:58,520 --> 01:31:00,560
Yeah. 
I think he has a very good. 

1608
01:31:00,800 --> 01:31:04,640
I think he's in the running for 
rookie of the Year this year. 

1609
01:31:05,040 --> 01:31:07,880
Is he? 
Where's he from? 

1610
01:31:08,800 --> 01:31:12,120
He's Missouri, I think. 
He's training with Heppner. 

1611
01:31:12,560 --> 01:31:15,840
Stephen Tackett, Kansas here. 
Stephen Tackett's his coach. 

1612
01:31:17,080 --> 01:31:19,760
He's training with HEP. 
I thought he had something to do

1613
01:31:19,760 --> 01:31:22,280
with no, that was a different 
guy. 

1614
01:31:22,280 --> 01:31:29,560
Never mind, never mind. 
Best Veteran award Tyler. 

1615
01:31:29,800 --> 01:31:31,000
I'm interested to see how y'all 
do. 

1616
01:31:31,000 --> 01:31:33,280
You cannot take Travis Mayor. 
I won't. 

1617
01:31:33,360 --> 01:31:36,280
He barely made the games. 
I won't. 

1618
01:31:37,240 --> 01:31:42,440
He had to be on Tyler Cristobal,
called by Tyler Destruction to 

1619
01:31:42,480 --> 01:31:44,120
make the games. 
You wanted it. 

1620
01:31:44,480 --> 01:31:46,880
You wanted it. 
Back you were rooted for that I 

1621
01:31:46,880 --> 01:31:51,000
I it's the joke. 
It's the joke I wanted, but I 

1622
01:31:51,000 --> 01:31:54,360
won't do that Come come back to 
me because I'm I'm second 

1623
01:31:54,400 --> 01:31:56,560
guessing myself now I like my 
pick. 

1624
01:31:56,720 --> 01:31:58,720
I like my pick, but I want to 
think. 

1625
01:31:58,720 --> 01:32:01,000
About it for a second, believe. 
It No, no, no, no, go ahead all.

1626
01:32:01,400 --> 01:32:02,880
Right. 
Don't believe in it. 

1627
01:32:04,720 --> 01:32:08,120
I have, I have, I have, I have 
Lazar Dukich. 

1628
01:32:09,360 --> 01:32:11,480
You know, we were really, really
let down by Koski. 

1629
01:32:12,000 --> 01:32:14,400
I feel like Lazar goes under the
radar sometimes. 

1630
01:32:16,240 --> 01:32:19,840
And I think the dude just did 
what he was supposed to do and 

1631
01:32:19,840 --> 01:32:24,680
he kind of won pretty easily 
without ever having a doubt that

1632
01:32:24,680 --> 01:32:31,000
he was going to win. 
And as far as like best veteran,

1633
01:32:31,000 --> 01:32:33,600
that's who I think that's what I
think of veteran doing what you 

1634
01:32:33,600 --> 01:32:37,520
have to do or what you normally 
do to make the games. 

1635
01:32:37,520 --> 01:32:42,880
And I think Lazar did what he 
should have done, but executed 

1636
01:32:43,240 --> 01:32:45,200
to AT. 
I'm gonna say Lazar. 

1637
01:32:47,400 --> 01:32:54,040
I'm gonna go with someone who's 
very resilient and it's come 

1638
01:32:54,040 --> 01:32:56,080
back several times. 
I'm gonna go with Brooke Wells. 

1639
01:32:56,960 --> 01:33:02,200
I know we like to joke around 
that she's, you know, resilient,

1640
01:33:02,200 --> 01:33:08,680
whatever, but three months ago? 
He's cold as ice. 

1641
01:33:08,720 --> 01:33:11,360
Man, we. 
There are quite a few people 

1642
01:33:11,360 --> 01:33:12,520
saying she wasn't going to make 
it. 

1643
01:33:12,520 --> 01:33:15,600
We we talked about it on this 
show several times, like can she

1644
01:33:15,600 --> 01:33:23,480
even qualify with her whatever 
shoulder injury torn labrum like

1645
01:33:24,320 --> 01:33:29,240
she's gone back and forth with 
injuries and she came out and it

1646
01:33:29,240 --> 01:33:32,240
I mean she was able to heal that
thing and get back onto it and 

1647
01:33:32,560 --> 01:33:37,280
she's going back to the games. 
So I mean, that's, you know, 

1648
01:33:37,440 --> 01:33:40,200
well, you want to joke about it 
like that She is a veteran that 

1649
01:33:40,880 --> 01:33:44,280
was able to get back and do what
she needed to do to be in a 

1650
01:33:44,280 --> 01:33:47,240
position to qualify. 
So. 

1651
01:33:48,760 --> 01:33:54,520
To me, when you say veteran like
that, that that speaks a lot to 

1652
01:33:54,520 --> 01:33:58,560
an attitude, I think. 
I I I feel that way too. 

1653
01:33:59,800 --> 01:34:03,040
And so I I am going with my 
original pick. 

1654
01:34:03,760 --> 01:34:07,560
Travis Mayor. 
No, Luke Parker, even though 

1655
01:34:07,560 --> 01:34:13,840
he's only been to the games one 
more time, it was to me. 

1656
01:34:14,400 --> 01:34:17,480
I think he did Boys games three 
years minimum to be able to I, I

1657
01:34:17,560 --> 01:34:19,320
don't. 
He's 30, dude. 

1658
01:34:19,320 --> 01:34:22,000
He's not young. 
He's a veteran in age, but 

1659
01:34:22,000 --> 01:34:25,920
that's and he. 
Looks like he just, he never 

1660
01:34:25,920 --> 01:34:29,480
looked like he wasn't going on 
that last event like even like 

1661
01:34:29,600 --> 01:34:33,280
before they went like he was 
like he looked right. 

1662
01:34:33,640 --> 01:34:37,600
And it was a veteran move from 
like to just go up to the 

1663
01:34:37,600 --> 01:34:40,000
batter's box in the last one and
be like, I know I've got it. 

1664
01:34:40,440 --> 01:34:43,160
And he he did what he had to do.
And I think that was a veteran 

1665
01:34:43,160 --> 01:34:44,600
move. 
I think he blew up and got 

1666
01:34:44,600 --> 01:34:45,360
lucky. 
He didn't. 

1667
01:34:45,360 --> 01:34:50,320
He was so that he could could 
get the cross before he had a 

1668
01:34:51,000 --> 01:34:54,280
wasted too much time. 
Maybe it's a bit of a heart 

1669
01:34:54,280 --> 01:34:56,800
pick, but I don't know. 
I like Luke, so I'm going with 

1670
01:34:56,800 --> 01:34:58,000
Luke better. 
Remove. 

1671
01:34:58,440 --> 01:35:00,320
I like Luke. 
I mean, I don't like him for 

1672
01:35:00,320 --> 01:35:03,760
this category. 
It's just hard, like, do I go 

1673
01:35:03,760 --> 01:35:06,400
with friggin, you know, Adler 
P1? 

1674
01:35:07,640 --> 01:35:09,640
It's I don't want to go with the
top guys. 

1675
01:35:09,720 --> 01:35:11,160
Travis Mayer would have been a 
better pick. 

1676
01:35:11,840 --> 01:35:13,760
I know, but I didn't want to do 
the joke. 

1677
01:35:16,440 --> 01:35:23,000
Most shocking moment? 
You want to go first, or you 

1678
01:35:23,120 --> 01:35:24,080
want to? 
Go first. 

1679
01:35:24,080 --> 01:35:27,760
Oh I I can we not pick a person?
Yeah. 

1680
01:35:28,400 --> 01:35:30,000
I said moment. 
Yeah, Do you? 

1681
01:35:30,320 --> 01:35:32,720
I'm, I'm going to say Tutor's 
Event 6. 

1682
01:35:33,320 --> 01:35:37,040
And the reason why I'm saying 
that is because it's it's 

1683
01:35:37,040 --> 01:35:41,360
shocking moment, right, Phoebe? 
You could say Colton's touch and

1684
01:35:41,360 --> 01:35:45,520
go, but I knew that Colton could
do that. 

1685
01:35:45,520 --> 01:35:47,080
I didn't know. 
I didn't know he would do that 

1686
01:35:47,080 --> 01:35:49,560
in the in the thing. 
Yeah, I didn't know he would do 

1687
01:35:49,560 --> 01:35:51,800
it, but I knew he could. 
He had it in him. 

1688
01:35:51,800 --> 01:35:55,800
It was still freaking awesome. 
Probably the best moment, but 

1689
01:35:55,800 --> 01:36:00,520
shocking moment. 
Dude Tudor did that event in a 

1690
01:36:00,720 --> 01:36:06,440
heat 3 and world record blew 
everybody out of the water and 

1691
01:36:06,440 --> 01:36:08,360
nobody saw it coming. 
And it was. 

1692
01:36:08,440 --> 01:36:12,760
So like not stop talking about. 
That it was so unexpected and 

1693
01:36:12,760 --> 01:36:16,040
like he did that and I just like
didn't know what to say. 

1694
01:36:16,520 --> 01:36:19,760
I was like, oh, what the Frick 
was it like what just happened? 

1695
01:36:20,120 --> 01:36:22,960
What just happened? 
Like and then and what's funny 

1696
01:36:22,960 --> 01:36:25,520
is he had to do that. 
He had to be clutched and 

1697
01:36:25,520 --> 01:36:27,640
everybody thought he was out of 
it, myself included. 

1698
01:36:28,080 --> 01:36:32,760
And I mean, he was a couple guys
melting down from making it, you

1699
01:36:32,760 --> 01:36:37,240
know, And that was the most 
shocking, like event. 

1700
01:36:37,320 --> 01:36:40,800
I just did not. 
I didn't know what happened when

1701
01:36:40,800 --> 01:36:42,520
he did that. 
Olivia. 

1702
01:36:42,520 --> 01:36:45,000
Olivia had her event but I 
already picked Olivia so I 

1703
01:36:45,000 --> 01:36:46,560
couldn't pick her. 
We knew Olivia was going to win,

1704
01:36:46,560 --> 01:36:49,240
it was just more about the time 
that she finished. 

1705
01:36:49,440 --> 01:36:51,880
I didn't know she had that. 
I was rocking with Kelsey 

1706
01:36:51,960 --> 01:36:55,160
killed, but you know, it's OK. 
Olivia, that was a Homer pick, 

1707
01:36:55,520 --> 01:36:57,680
Tyler. 
Second fastest time in the whole

1708
01:36:57,680 --> 01:36:59,480
world. 
OK, I'm sorry that it was a 

1709
01:36:59,480 --> 01:37:02,480
Homer pick. 
I didn't know that we have 

1710
01:37:02,480 --> 01:37:05,760
freaking Goliath in the snatch 
ladder against her. 

1711
01:37:05,880 --> 01:37:08,280
I'm that. 
That's not a poor pick by me. 

1712
01:37:08,720 --> 01:37:13,280
No, it is mine. 
Should have been. 

1713
01:37:13,280 --> 01:37:16,200
It also should have been the 
most disappointing because I was

1714
01:37:16,200 --> 01:37:19,720
truly bummed out about this. 
Most shocking was that the 

1715
01:37:19,720 --> 01:37:23,280
athletes got the run around the 
berm cancelled. 

1716
01:37:25,040 --> 01:37:29,080
That was I, I walked around for 
like an hour being like, are 

1717
01:37:29,080 --> 01:37:33,880
you, are you serious? 
And I, I was like, I was just 

1718
01:37:33,880 --> 01:37:36,800
super freaking bummed. 
Like, and for the people that I 

1719
01:37:36,800 --> 01:37:41,800
knew wanted to do that and we'll
never get to go do that again. 

1720
01:37:43,120 --> 01:37:44,640
Steven. 
Snatch letter. 

1721
01:37:44,960 --> 01:37:49,840
If you if you make another 
comment like that, Steven, I 

1722
01:37:49,840 --> 01:37:53,720
will block you, OK? 
And I don't even know how to do 

1723
01:37:53,720 --> 01:37:55,360
it. 
I'm going to have to text Brian 

1724
01:37:55,360 --> 01:37:58,200
to tell me how to do it. 
I'm not even sure how to do it. 

1725
01:37:58,360 --> 01:38:01,320
But then and then I'm going to 
have to YouTube how to do it and

1726
01:38:01,320 --> 01:38:03,880
I'm going to block you as soon 
as I find out. 

1727
01:38:04,360 --> 01:38:07,680
Don't don't this don't put us 
with these retarded comments 

1728
01:38:07,680 --> 01:38:09,360
like this Steven, come on, 
you're better than that. 

1729
01:38:10,160 --> 01:38:11,320
All right, go ahead, go ahead. 
Tyler. 

1730
01:38:11,320 --> 01:38:12,440
The berm run was canceled. 
We're. 

1731
01:38:12,440 --> 01:38:14,080
All just the berm run being 
canceled. 

1732
01:38:14,080 --> 01:38:17,760
I, I was shocked that that it 
happened, that that the athletes

1733
01:38:17,760 --> 01:38:22,200
made it happen and then that 
people actually made it come 

1734
01:38:22,200 --> 01:38:25,200
into fruition. 
It was just like, it was huge. 

1735
01:38:25,200 --> 01:38:27,280
Bummer, I just wish they could 
have figured out a better route 

1736
01:38:27,440 --> 01:38:30,320
that would not have been 3/4 of 
a mile each time. 

1737
01:38:31,000 --> 01:38:33,360
That would be a. 
That'll be a big difference in 

1738
01:38:33,360 --> 01:38:36,480
the the actual workout. 
I understand that, but they were

1739
01:38:36,480 --> 01:38:39,160
all competing against each other
and it's so historic. 

1740
01:38:39,760 --> 01:38:42,360
I It's just friggin. 
Danny and Annika would be 

1741
01:38:42,440 --> 01:38:44,040
awkward. 
Still be out there running right

1742
01:38:44,040 --> 01:38:48,520
now. 
That's fine, they weren't going 

1743
01:38:48,520 --> 01:38:51,160
to the games anyway. 
Danny. 

1744
01:38:51,240 --> 01:38:54,880
Danny did go to the game. 
Oh yeah, Danny did. 

1745
01:38:55,040 --> 01:38:57,840
Monica confused me, 'cause she 
was in the East and I was like, 

1746
01:38:57,840 --> 01:39:02,880
Annika didn't even run that. 
My most shocking moment kept 

1747
01:39:02,920 --> 01:39:06,280
Danny out. 
Yeah, the most shocking moment 

1748
01:39:06,600 --> 01:39:09,680
probably could put this as 
biggest disappointment, but Yolo

1749
01:39:09,680 --> 01:39:14,520
follows Event 6 meltdown. 
Wait time out though. 

1750
01:39:14,720 --> 01:39:16,640
Time out. 
Would you have been disappointed

1751
01:39:16,640 --> 01:39:20,880
if it didn't look like she was 
going like if it if if the hype 

1752
01:39:20,880 --> 01:39:23,640
hadn't been real? 
She was the only girl that 

1753
01:39:23,640 --> 01:39:27,640
didn't finish the event. 
That was the biggest. 

1754
01:39:27,840 --> 01:39:32,240
That was the biggest explosion 
we have ever seen from a woman 

1755
01:39:32,320 --> 01:39:36,280
from from a person from a person
that is in position to win to 

1756
01:39:36,280 --> 01:39:38,640
make the games. 
That's the biggest explosion 

1757
01:39:38,640 --> 01:39:41,680
we've ever seen. 
Tyler Cristo fell only dreams of

1758
01:39:41,680 --> 01:39:46,840
exploding as bad as Yolo Polo 
exploded and I I and if she if 

1759
01:39:46,840 --> 01:39:52,960
she big fan of the show Erica 
Polo is I'm sorry but that is 

1760
01:39:52,960 --> 01:39:57,040
what happened. 
Yeah, that was it looked like 

1761
01:39:57,040 --> 01:39:58,640
she hadn't pulled it off 
perfectly. 

1762
01:39:59,000 --> 01:40:01,600
Like paste it right. 
She knew what she was doing. 

1763
01:40:01,600 --> 01:40:03,880
And then? 
You and you and Emma need to 

1764
01:40:03,880 --> 01:40:06,080
just do lunges and talk about 
your feelings. 

1765
01:40:07,080 --> 01:40:10,760
Like like do a 10 minute lunge 
feeling talk every single day. 

1766
01:40:11,240 --> 01:40:13,000
You know what's surprising about
that to me? 

1767
01:40:13,000 --> 01:40:16,120
Get some fat grips. 
When we get some fat grips, 

1768
01:40:16,280 --> 01:40:17,360
yeah. 
When we. 

1769
01:40:17,640 --> 01:40:20,840
Got a lot of them go. 
Ahead, who interviewed boss? 

1770
01:40:21,160 --> 01:40:24,120
I think it was Pedro interviewed
Boss and they talked about that 

1771
01:40:24,120 --> 01:40:29,440
event and he he talked about 
this with me that he was like, 

1772
01:40:29,440 --> 01:40:32,040
isn't it wild how everybody's 
like, it's the last length and 

1773
01:40:32,040 --> 01:40:35,080
everybody's failing And I'm 
like, you didn't plan that. 

1774
01:40:36,080 --> 01:40:39,880
Like you just got lucky and this
wild shit happened. 

1775
01:40:40,200 --> 01:40:42,080
Man, this is working out really 
well, I thought. 

1776
01:40:42,320 --> 01:40:44,440
I thought everybody was just 
going to launch into the way. 

1777
01:40:45,520 --> 01:40:48,680
Yeah, you think about it like we
everybody was asking like, what 

1778
01:40:48,680 --> 01:40:50,880
kind of grip is it going to be? 
I think if they put it on their 

1779
01:40:50,880 --> 01:40:52,240
shoulders they would have 
actually done. 

1780
01:40:52,640 --> 01:40:55,600
Better, better, they wouldn't 
fail the lines for sure. 

1781
01:40:55,640 --> 01:40:58,360
They might have just sat there, 
but like the grip is what was 

1782
01:40:58,360 --> 01:41:02,200
leaving, right? 
Yeah, no, I think it worked out 

1783
01:41:02,200 --> 01:41:07,720
perfectly for Boss. 
And the last one, the most 

1784
01:41:07,720 --> 01:41:11,360
improved award. 
I'll start. 

1785
01:41:12,280 --> 01:41:14,640
I'm going with the Abigail 
Doughnut. 

1786
01:41:16,560 --> 01:41:17,920
Yeah, dude. 
I mean, she looks really, 

1787
01:41:17,920 --> 01:41:20,400
really, really good. 
She finished 26th at the Games 

1788
01:41:20,400 --> 01:41:24,240
last year, wins North America 
West semi final, beats Alex, 

1789
01:41:24,920 --> 01:41:29,040
beats Ariel. 
I think she is poised to to win 

1790
01:41:29,040 --> 01:41:32,720
the most, most improved at this 
year's games. 

1791
01:41:33,960 --> 01:41:36,720
Oh, that's interesting to 
consider. 

1792
01:41:38,200 --> 01:41:40,600
I think it's early to call it, 
but I think she is the one that 

1793
01:41:40,600 --> 01:41:42,760
has the best possibility of 
doing that. 

1794
01:41:45,120 --> 01:41:50,640
Of most improved. 
I know who I'm going with. 

1795
01:41:51,400 --> 01:41:52,480
Who got drunk? 
Tyler. 

1796
01:41:53,120 --> 01:41:57,240
Amy Kringle, the I don't think 
anybody picked her to actually 

1797
01:41:57,240 --> 01:41:58,560
qualify this year. 
Yeah, not a. 

1798
01:41:58,840 --> 01:42:02,120
That's a great pick, Tyler. 
Yeah, not a lot, not not in the 

1799
01:42:02,120 --> 01:42:04,480
analysts. 
I picked her and it was really 

1800
01:42:04,480 --> 01:42:07,920
like me just being hopeful. 
She she probably a good pick for

1801
01:42:07,920 --> 01:42:11,120
best veteran honestly. 
She's she's been to semifinals 

1802
01:42:11,120 --> 01:42:12,280
before. 
Right. 

1803
01:42:13,080 --> 01:42:16,240
So. 
I consider her veteran as like 

1804
01:42:16,560 --> 01:42:17,600
games. 
Games. 

1805
01:42:18,160 --> 01:42:21,040
As as as we've specified with 
Luke Parker. 

1806
01:42:21,160 --> 01:42:25,440
Like. 
Dude, I Amy Kringle's a great 

1807
01:42:25,440 --> 01:42:28,120
pick. 
I I have, I have Jack Rosenma, 

1808
01:42:28,160 --> 01:42:32,040
basically what Amy Kringle did, 
but North America East. 

1809
01:42:32,200 --> 01:42:35,560
Yeah, yeah. 
And I, I mean, I honestly think 

1810
01:42:35,560 --> 01:42:39,400
Amy Kringle's a better pick than
Jack Rosenma, but Jack Rosenma 

1811
01:42:39,400 --> 01:42:43,600
was a routine semi finals 
athlete that has, you know, got 

1812
01:42:43,880 --> 01:42:46,960
got his priorities different. 
I mean, similar to what Hopper 

1813
01:42:46,960 --> 01:42:51,960
sounds like he's doing now. 
And dude freaking balled out. 

1814
01:42:52,040 --> 01:42:56,320
I, I don't, I didn't see that 
from Jack Rosima. 

1815
01:42:56,320 --> 01:42:59,400
Like I could see him making it 
as one of the last guys in, but 

1816
01:42:59,400 --> 01:43:02,520
he's Tyler Cristobal territory. 
He's Jake Berman territory. 

1817
01:43:02,960 --> 01:43:07,000
That's yeah, but you know what I
mean? 

1818
01:43:07,000 --> 01:43:12,620
Like like fringe fringe games, 
semi finals athlete, more semi 

1819
01:43:12,620 --> 01:43:14,080
finals than games. 
Right? 

1820
01:43:14,080 --> 01:43:17,240
Like that's what Jack Rosema is.
And Tyler, you're not the only 

1821
01:43:17,240 --> 01:43:21,000
one that picked Miss Kringle. 
I don't think you felt. 

1822
01:43:21,080 --> 01:43:24,840
Better, though. 
There's no way you felt good 

1823
01:43:24,840 --> 01:43:26,840
about the pick going in with 
what we knew. 

1824
01:43:27,600 --> 01:43:29,400
There's no way you felt good 
about that pick. 

1825
01:43:31,800 --> 01:43:33,280
And so, yeah, my picks for Jack 
Rosema. 

1826
01:43:33,280 --> 01:43:35,360
I thought I had her amazing. 
Sorry. 

1827
01:43:35,640 --> 01:43:36,120
You're good. 
You're good. 

1828
01:43:36,120 --> 01:43:38,480
Go ahead. 
I had her barely qualifying. 

1829
01:43:39,120 --> 01:43:42,600
Like that's how I was like. 
That's what I had with Haddie 

1830
01:43:42,600 --> 01:43:45,960
Canyon, though I had Caddie 
Canyon was the last spot. 

1831
01:43:46,400 --> 01:43:48,200
And then? 
She ended up being like first 

1832
01:43:48,200 --> 01:43:50,960
place to the last event. 
I I'm sitting here being like I 

1833
01:43:51,000 --> 01:43:54,560
told y'all, I told y'all, I had 
her. 

1834
01:43:54,920 --> 01:43:57,920
I had her barely making. 
It and I'm screaming. 

1835
01:43:58,160 --> 01:44:01,520
In heavens, I knew, and nobody 
else did. 

1836
01:44:01,520 --> 01:44:04,360
And it was funny because like, 
yeah, I was just as surprised. 

1837
01:44:04,360 --> 01:44:07,880
Everybody else I knew, I knew 
nothing other than other than 

1838
01:44:07,880 --> 01:44:10,080
she was beating Kelly Baker down
a month ago. 

1839
01:44:10,080 --> 01:44:13,640
Like that's all that I knew. 
And and and this was so 

1840
01:44:13,720 --> 01:44:18,280
punishment. 
All right, those are the mid 

1841
01:44:18,280 --> 01:44:22,840
season awards. 
Time out, I freaking told you. 

1842
01:44:26,000 --> 01:44:28,720
Yeah, any higher than that, you 
know, it was a a Homer pick. 

1843
01:44:29,080 --> 01:44:33,560
All right, it is time to wrap 
the show up quickly with some 

1844
01:44:33,560 --> 01:44:37,200
blind rankings. 
All right, here we go. 

1845
01:44:37,520 --> 01:44:41,280
We didn't talk about teams. 
About what? 

1846
01:44:42,160 --> 01:44:44,440
Teams. 
Teams who? 

1847
01:44:45,480 --> 01:44:46,800
Who? 
I don't have it on my list, 

1848
01:44:46,800 --> 01:44:48,800
sorry. 
I think the Chico, the Chico 

1849
01:44:48,800 --> 01:44:49,600
made it. 
That's all I. 

1850
01:44:49,640 --> 01:44:54,160
Think Rich made it? 
Yeah, I'm sure may have been 

1851
01:44:54,160 --> 01:44:56,200
Invictus for sending half the 
teams. 

1852
01:44:57,840 --> 01:45:00,240
This week's blind rankings.

Get 10% off the best sleep mask 

1854
01:45:05,920 --> 01:45:09,840
out there today. 
Tonight we are going to go with 

1855
01:45:11,240 --> 01:45:17,440
going long, the best long events
at the CrossFit Games. 

1856
01:45:18,360 --> 01:45:22,280
All right, I think I I have an. 
Long event. 

1857
01:45:22,440 --> 01:45:26,920
I have an obvious number one, 
but we'll see if we agree. 

1858
01:45:27,440 --> 01:45:31,280
Hold on real quick. 
Do you think spin next week? 

1859
01:45:31,920 --> 01:45:33,240
I forgot what we were doing next
week. 

1860
01:45:33,760 --> 01:45:38,680
Can we make a Tyler's trash 
section and like that's? 

1861
01:45:39,280 --> 01:45:42,800
Up to Tyler's work schedule. 
Tyler, would you be down like 

1862
01:45:42,800 --> 01:45:44,960
pick like the top 10? 
I'm always down. 

1863
01:45:45,000 --> 01:45:48,200
I I got my, I got the my trash. 
I, I know Christa Fell's 

1864
01:45:48,200 --> 01:45:52,280
probably #1 but like, I would 
love just to see the list, you 

1865
01:45:52,280 --> 01:45:53,960
know what I mean? 
It would be fun to talk you'd. 

1866
01:45:53,960 --> 01:45:56,360
Have to get the context 'cause 
it's like to me. 

1867
01:45:56,440 --> 01:45:57,880
That's on you. 
That's on you. 

1868
01:45:58,000 --> 01:45:59,280
It's. 
Just your game's mountain. 

1869
01:45:59,480 --> 01:46:01,760
You're the one who tells us the 
context, and then we. 

1870
01:46:01,760 --> 01:46:06,720
Saw you, saw John's you got. 
To back it up, you got to back 

1871
01:46:06,720 --> 01:46:09,360
up what what happens and then 
will will me and Spin will 

1872
01:46:09,360 --> 01:46:12,120
question you on it. 
I'm so down for Tyler's trash 

1873
01:46:12,120 --> 01:46:15,560
man. 
So Tyler's trash is usually who 

1874
01:46:15,560 --> 01:46:19,560
everybody thinks is going to do 
well, and I'm like, no, yeah, so

1875
01:46:19,560 --> 01:46:21,480
I can do that. 
Dude, I'm so down. 

1876
01:46:21,480 --> 01:46:22,800
You're going to piss off so many
people. 

1877
01:46:24,360 --> 01:46:29,760
So much fun. 
Here we go, the best long events

1878
01:46:30,120 --> 01:46:34,800
at the CrossFit Games First 
event, the Capital. 

1879
01:46:35,520 --> 01:46:38,360
This is my number one. 
Oh. 

1880
01:46:39,960 --> 01:46:43,200
I just I like it the best. 
I think about the running 

1881
01:46:43,200 --> 01:46:47,240
workout where with Brent and 
Christy Ermo. 

1882
01:46:47,640 --> 01:46:50,200
That was the run, swim, run in 
2017. 

1883
01:46:50,280 --> 01:46:51,880
I wasn't. 
That's not very exciting. 

1884
01:46:51,880 --> 01:46:54,840
Except they're at, you know what
I mean. 

1885
01:46:54,840 --> 01:46:58,760
I I would rather go the 7K run 
in 20. 16 I was going to say 

1886
01:46:58,760 --> 01:47:02,680
probably the seven K OK, I I 
just don't want to bias it 

1887
01:47:02,680 --> 01:47:05,040
because it it's recent. 
Can I tell you what I mean? 

1888
01:47:05,120 --> 01:47:06,240
Yeah. 
Can I tell you why, though? 

1889
01:47:06,240 --> 01:47:07,480
Like, I feel like it's number 
one. 

1890
01:47:07,520 --> 01:47:09,680
And then if you accept it, we'll
put it there. 

1891
01:47:09,680 --> 01:47:10,960
If you don't accept it, we'll 
put it at two. 

1892
01:47:11,760 --> 01:47:12,960
OK. 
Is that fair? 

1893
01:47:13,320 --> 01:47:16,120
Yeah. 
So there's going to be a lot of 

1894
01:47:16,120 --> 01:47:18,560
long events, right? 
There's exciting ones. 

1895
01:47:18,800 --> 01:47:22,560
This one was innovative, like 
the burden run, bird runs up 

1896
01:47:22,560 --> 01:47:25,640
there, high up there. 
Any bird run should be 

1897
01:47:25,640 --> 01:47:28,360
considered for #1 consideration.
But here's the thing. 

1898
01:47:28,360 --> 01:47:31,360
Like Khalipa ran away with the 
burden run this. 

1899
01:47:31,360 --> 01:47:34,640
What the race? 
Yeah, he did. 

1900
01:47:34,640 --> 01:47:37,240
Rich got stuck on the sled like 
he he was in the lead. 

1901
01:47:37,280 --> 01:47:41,000
From that because the the 
unknown user or anonymous 

1902
01:47:41,880 --> 01:47:45,200
Garrett Fisher was winning till 
till the pig. 

1903
01:47:45,200 --> 01:47:48,320
Oh, he was. 
They, they, they ran 2 miles and

1904
01:47:48,360 --> 01:47:51,080
he got to the pig and he lost 
immediately. 

1905
01:47:51,080 --> 01:47:54,440
When he got to the pig, they had
the pig he lost. 

1906
01:47:54,480 --> 01:47:57,800
It 4 minutes earlier sled. 
Push and Khalipa was in the lead

1907
01:47:57,800 --> 01:47:59,920
the whole freaking time. 
Garrett Fisher. 

1908
01:47:59,920 --> 01:48:02,000
Basically. 
Jacob Anderson did. 

1909
01:48:02,000 --> 01:48:03,760
Do you remember Jacob Anderson 
in the first mark? 

1910
01:48:04,000 --> 01:48:07,320
Like he went close to winning. 
He got to that pig and it was 

1911
01:48:07,320 --> 01:48:09,880
the end of his world. 
Get out of here. 

1912
01:48:10,000 --> 01:48:12,480
Anyway, the capital. 
Murph counts as a long one. 

1913
01:48:12,920 --> 01:48:15,760
Yeah, Murph counts as a long 
one, dude, There's a lot of good

1914
01:48:15,760 --> 01:48:16,920
ones. 
There's a lot of good ones. 

1915
01:48:17,040 --> 01:48:19,120
But my point for this. 
Reason. 

1916
01:48:19,320 --> 01:48:23,280
The reason that was boring that 
this is the reason why I like 

1917
01:48:23,280 --> 01:48:27,160
this one. 
The race between Roman and Ricky

1918
01:48:27,320 --> 01:48:31,680
was amazing for first place and 
everybody thought Roman was 

1919
01:48:31,680 --> 01:48:33,760
going to run away with it. 
Roman's freaking odd object 

1920
01:48:33,760 --> 01:48:35,800
king. 
He looks like Shrek for goodness

1921
01:48:35,800 --> 01:48:38,600
sake. 
And Ricky like had that dog in 

1922
01:48:38,600 --> 01:48:40,760
him to win and climb up those 
steps. 

1923
01:48:40,960 --> 01:48:46,400
And then you had Haley and Lazar
dying on the steps. 

1924
01:48:46,560 --> 01:48:49,000
They couldn't get that bag up to
save their life. 

1925
01:48:49,000 --> 01:48:53,000
They had three steps to get that
bag up and 15 people passed them

1926
01:48:53,360 --> 01:48:56,440
like, and just the destruction 
that it brought upon people. 

1927
01:48:57,440 --> 01:49:00,480
I just I and then in like, I 
could care less with for Foo 

1928
01:49:00,480 --> 01:49:02,000
Soleil. 
But if you want to bring the 

1929
01:49:02,000 --> 01:49:04,560
community in it with Foo Soleil,
you got that moment too. 

1930
01:49:04,920 --> 01:49:08,840
I, I, I I don't care at all. 
But I do like that there was not

1931
01:49:08,840 --> 01:49:11,640
a time cap for it, right? 
You had to finish it. 

1932
01:49:12,360 --> 01:49:16,120
And then Travis Mayer from heat 
one looking amazing. 

1933
01:49:16,160 --> 01:49:19,440
Yeah, look at Travis Mayer. 
You just convinced them, right? 

1934
01:49:21,640 --> 01:49:25,800
There I had a lot of feelings 
with the capital and you don't 

1935
01:49:25,800 --> 01:49:29,640
get that with long events that 
are very cool long events. 

1936
01:49:29,640 --> 01:49:32,920
But Khalifa was wouldn't that 
the whole time? 

1937
01:49:33,000 --> 01:49:35,200
And the burden run was like I 
was one of my favourites too. 

1938
01:49:35,800 --> 01:49:38,760
The capital reminds me of being 
downtown down there and I just 

1939
01:49:38,760 --> 01:49:41,200
realized I'll probably never 
have that pizza at that place in

1940
01:49:41,200 --> 01:49:44,080
the middle of town ever again. 
Oh dude, that pizza was so good.

1941
01:49:44,080 --> 01:49:45,080
I know what you're talking 
about. 

1942
01:49:45,080 --> 01:49:48,320
It's like it's like some random 
name to like like Perry's or 

1943
01:49:48,320 --> 01:49:51,520
something like that. 
Like dude, that pizza was so 

1944
01:49:51,520 --> 01:49:52,520
good. 
You're so. 

1945
01:49:52,520 --> 01:49:54,320
Ravioli. 
They had ravioli's on their 

1946
01:49:54,320 --> 01:49:56,360
pizza man. 
I'll figure it out. 

1947
01:49:56,360 --> 01:49:57,200
I'll. 
Figure it out. 

1948
01:49:57,720 --> 01:49:59,800
I think I'll go one, I'll go 
one. 

1949
01:50:00,040 --> 01:50:01,880
Thank you. 
All right, here we go. 

1950
01:50:04,520 --> 01:50:06,880
Next one, the burden. 
Run the burden. 

1951
01:50:06,880 --> 01:50:09,440
Run. 
It's probably my #2 but I know 

1952
01:50:09,440 --> 01:50:11,080
we're kind of backing our way 
into a corner. 

1953
01:50:11,160 --> 01:50:16,240
I want to put it at 3 just in 
case, but is there anything 

1954
01:50:16,240 --> 01:50:19,440
better than the burden run? 
Like dude I I was glued to the 

1955
01:50:19,440 --> 01:50:21,160
TV that year. 
Glue this is. 

1956
01:50:21,160 --> 01:50:26,160
Just so creative. 
Yeah, I like, I would love to do

1957
01:50:26,160 --> 01:50:29,400
that event like personally. 
Me too, Me too. 

1958
01:50:29,760 --> 01:50:31,880
And the capital? 
I would love to do the capital 

1959
01:50:34,160 --> 01:50:38,480
dude OK at Atlanta. 
No, I don't give a shit about 

1960
01:50:38,480 --> 01:50:40,640
that. 
Work Ian's Pizza. 

1961
01:50:40,640 --> 01:50:43,240
Greg Ghost has it. 
Guys, if you're ever in Madison,

1962
01:50:43,240 --> 01:50:47,480
WI, go eat it. 
Ian's pizza is, is some of the 

1963
01:50:47,480 --> 01:50:49,280
best pizza in the world. 
It is crazy. 

1964
01:50:49,280 --> 01:50:50,960
All right, thank you, Greg 
Ghost. 

1965
01:50:50,960 --> 01:50:54,560
You're obviously from Wisconsin.
Thanks. 

1966
01:50:54,560 --> 01:50:57,240
Will Will Branstetter is 
cleaning it, doing some 

1967
01:50:57,240 --> 01:51:00,120
vacuuming and heard Johnny and 
Young yelling. 

1968
01:51:00,280 --> 01:51:03,920
So back to the show. 
I'll be, I'll be honest with you

1969
01:51:03,920 --> 01:51:09,040
guys, I was really sleepy. 
I didn't get my nap this 

1970
01:51:09,040 --> 01:51:11,000
afternoon. 
So I took a caffeine pill like 

1971
01:51:11,000 --> 01:51:13,720
right before the show. 
And then that's why I like an 

1972
01:51:13,720 --> 01:51:16,240
hour into it started kicking and
I started talking a lot. 

1973
01:51:16,480 --> 01:51:19,120
It's I took, I took a caffeine 
pill and that's, that's that's 

1974
01:51:19,120 --> 01:51:22,080
why, that's why. 
Where you where you guys, where 

1975
01:51:22,080 --> 01:51:22,920
you guys put in the burden? 
Run. 

1976
01:51:22,920 --> 01:51:25,080
I can't think of anything other 
other than two. 

1977
01:51:25,080 --> 01:51:27,720
Yeah, I like it as two as well. 
I know we got to move so. 

1978
01:51:27,920 --> 01:51:33,320
Dude, no, you're good. 
Next one, the marathon row. 5. 

1979
01:51:34,040 --> 01:51:36,280
I would say. 
Dude, I could I. 

1980
01:51:36,760 --> 01:51:40,080
Miss OK, fair enough. 
I think the full the the half 

1981
01:51:40,080 --> 01:51:42,720
marathon was more iconic because
it was the first time we ever 

1982
01:51:42,720 --> 01:51:44,880
saw anything like that. 
So I think 5. 

1983
01:51:44,880 --> 01:51:48,120
I would agree with John 5. 
I think the 2K. 

1984
01:51:48,480 --> 01:51:52,280
Is there anything boring? 
Is it all about? 

1985
01:51:52,400 --> 01:51:56,000
In ocean swim, I'm like, I think
Pendleton's more exciting than 

1986
01:51:56,000 --> 01:51:57,920
the marathon row and Pendleton 
took forever. 

1987
01:51:58,960 --> 01:52:00,280
Yeah, I like. 
I like. 

1988
01:52:00,440 --> 01:52:04,040
The 40 minute bike ride, that's 
pretty boring, but you're still 

1989
01:52:04,040 --> 01:52:06,720
seeing people pass people this 
they're you're literally 

1990
01:52:06,720 --> 01:52:07,920
watching. 
They're sitting in A room. 

1991
01:52:09,200 --> 01:52:13,760
And then, like, the big payoff 
is just some big dude that's not

1992
01:52:13,760 --> 01:52:17,720
going to do anything else wins 
and it's some other big dude. 

1993
01:52:17,720 --> 01:52:20,760
And then Lucas Hogberg. 
I know, I know y'all's names. 

1994
01:52:20,760 --> 01:52:22,400
OK, You can hell big. 
You're fine. 

1995
01:52:22,400 --> 01:52:24,680
You're screaming at the. 
Lucas Eslinger won the half. 

1996
01:52:24,720 --> 01:52:28,000
Lucas Eslinger No. 
Lucas Eslinger 1 And then how 

1997
01:52:28,000 --> 01:52:30,040
big was second? 
Lucas Hogberg was third. 

1998
01:52:30,520 --> 01:52:33,520
Matt Fraser was like 11th and he
was real pissed off. 

1999
01:52:33,520 --> 01:52:35,760
He's like, what the freak are we
doing here, Dave? 

2000
01:52:37,560 --> 01:52:40,400
Can you imagine how bad your hip
flexors have to hurt on a full? 

2001
01:52:40,400 --> 01:52:42,040
I've done the half. 
I would think your. 

2002
01:52:42,040 --> 01:52:44,040
Your butt like your butt and 
your back. 

2003
01:52:44,480 --> 01:52:45,920
Yeah. 
Yeah. 

2004
01:52:48,400 --> 01:52:55,600
All right, here we go, 333. 
Oh. 3333 for the three. 

2005
01:52:55,720 --> 01:52:56,880
That's fine. 
I'm, I'm with you. 

2006
01:52:57,520 --> 01:52:58,880
It's pretty. 
Rich Walk. 

2007
01:52:58,880 --> 01:53:01,560
I remember being at the gym. 
I was lifting. 

2008
01:53:01,560 --> 01:53:05,600
I was squatting with metal 
plates because I was like. 

2009
01:53:05,640 --> 01:53:07,840
This is a million times as one 
as one does. 

2010
01:53:08,440 --> 01:53:11,520
Yeah, and because they were 
clanging and my buddy Ben goes, 

2011
01:53:11,520 --> 01:53:17,360
Tyler, can you shut the fuck up?
And I and so I turned around and

2012
01:53:17,480 --> 01:53:20,040
Rich starts walking and I went, 
Oh my God. 

2013
01:53:20,280 --> 01:53:23,520
And then everybody else in the 
gym turned to the TV and 

2014
01:53:23,520 --> 01:53:26,720
everybody just stopped. 
They're like, Rich is walking in

2015
01:53:26,720 --> 01:53:29,320
the middle of this workout. 
I'll never forget that my entire

2016
01:53:29,320 --> 01:53:31,480
life. 
Yeah, yeah, probably one of the 

2017
01:53:31,480 --> 01:53:34,680
most iconic moments in all of 
CrossFit, the fittest man in 

2018
01:53:34,680 --> 01:53:37,320
history. 
And he was back then the fittest

2019
01:53:37,320 --> 01:53:39,480
person, the fittest person we we
had ever seen. 

2020
01:53:39,880 --> 01:53:43,200
And that, and that's what made 
that you're great, was watching 

2021
01:53:43,200 --> 01:53:45,280
Rich. 
I mean, part of it is what makes

2022
01:53:45,280 --> 01:53:47,360
Rich great. 
That's why he has so much appeal

2023
01:53:47,360 --> 01:53:49,160
for everybody. 
You know who said? 

2024
01:53:49,480 --> 01:53:51,440
That that set up the what was 
it? 

2025
01:53:51,440 --> 01:53:56,560
The pyramid. 
No, no, no 21/15, 9:20. 15-9 

2026
01:53:56,960 --> 01:54:01,480
yeah, yeah, I him going 
backstage and then behind the 

2027
01:54:01,480 --> 01:54:04,680
scenes and. 
Darren Darren's Like do. 

2028
01:54:05,400 --> 01:54:08,000
You want to eat something and 
rich is like no, I suck. 

2029
01:54:08,000 --> 01:54:09,040
I don't deserve. 
To eat. 

2030
01:54:10,920 --> 01:54:14,440
And then there was another one 
like he had like 22 events are 

2031
01:54:14,440 --> 01:54:18,120
like just mid, like, you know, 
15th and Darren goes what's 

2032
01:54:18,120 --> 01:54:19,640
going on? 
He goes, I just suck. 

2033
01:54:20,000 --> 01:54:21,920
Like I don't, I don't know 
what's going. 

2034
01:54:24,480 --> 01:54:28,040
And the last one, I think you'll
be happy with your picks. 

2035
01:54:29,080 --> 01:54:31,120
Pendles in one and two. 
I'm happy with that. 

2036
01:54:31,120 --> 01:54:35,320
I think we murdered that. 
I could see, I could see a 

2037
01:54:35,320 --> 01:54:39,520
burden run for being #1. 
I'm cool. 

2038
01:54:40,120 --> 01:54:41,440
I'm cool with those being one 
and two. 

2039
01:54:41,480 --> 01:54:44,280
They're so close. 
And I enjoyed the capital more 

2040
01:54:44,280 --> 01:54:45,840
than the Burden Run. 
The Burden Run's very fun to 

2041
01:54:45,840 --> 01:54:50,280
watch, but I was in it with the 
people on like who's, you know, 

2042
01:54:50,280 --> 01:54:52,960
the fight. 
It felt more like a fight. 

2043
01:54:53,520 --> 01:54:57,640
The the weight of that bag at 
the end of the Capitol is so 

2044
01:54:57,640 --> 01:55:00,960
much more impressive than the 
log carry on the burden run. 

2045
01:55:01,320 --> 01:55:06,680
And like it just like if, if you
could feel the suffering, yeah, 

2046
01:55:06,720 --> 01:55:08,920
more on the Capitol than you 
could the burden run. 

2047
01:55:09,360 --> 01:55:12,000
Yeah, I didn't, and it did not 
include Dave's 4. 100 and. 

2048
01:55:12,080 --> 01:55:15,640
Six pack on deadlift but. 
You could have it qualifies in 

2049
01:55:15,680 --> 01:55:17,800
time. 
That's probably #1 honestly. 

2050
01:55:20,760 --> 01:55:23,000
There it is. 
Blind rankings brought to you by

2051
01:55:23,160 --> 01:55:26,920
Amanda. 
Sleep before we head out. 

2052
01:55:26,920 --> 01:55:33,560
I don't know about that, but. 
Y'all didn't like that one? 

2053
01:55:33,600 --> 01:55:34,920
I love. 
That one I don't. 

2054
01:55:35,480 --> 01:55:38,360
Have. 
So much I want to pull something

2055
01:55:38,360 --> 01:55:45,400
up here real quick. 
I think it does qualify as that,

2056
01:55:46,280 --> 01:55:48,520
that and where were you? 
And Greg tweeted what he 

2057
01:55:48,520 --> 01:55:52,360
tweeted. 
That's the equivalent. 

2058
01:55:53,200 --> 01:55:56,520
Let's see. 
This is great for television. 

2059
01:55:56,800 --> 01:55:58,320
It is, it is good. 
It's very good. 

2060
01:55:58,320 --> 01:56:01,680
Hold on one second. 
Our back end support is. 

2061
01:56:02,320 --> 01:56:04,480
Come on, Caleb. 
Really, really good. 

2062
01:56:05,120 --> 01:56:08,040
And Vicki Crazy if Caleb just 
jumped from show to show working

2063
01:56:08,040 --> 01:56:10,360
back this is. 
This is a good a good question. 

2064
01:56:12,160 --> 01:56:22,920
No, yeah, he probably does. 
And I want to share something 

2065
01:56:22,920 --> 01:56:26,280
with you if you are going, Oh 
yeah, this is awesome. 

2066
01:56:27,120 --> 01:56:30,640
If you're going to the CrossFit 
Games and we're thinking about 

2067
01:56:30,640 --> 01:56:33,840
going to the RV park, there are 
still tickets available. 

2068
01:56:34,920 --> 01:56:40,680
All of these blue dots are still
up for grabs to go to the RV 

2069
01:56:41,240 --> 01:56:44,280
park, but there's something 
really special. 

2070
01:56:45,040 --> 01:56:46,400
What about this one right there 
in the middle? 

2071
01:56:46,600 --> 01:56:49,520
Right in the middle, right in 
the middle, fans, if you want 

2072
01:56:49,520 --> 01:56:51,680
crime. 
Real estate crime Real estate 

2073
01:56:52,440 --> 01:56:58,680
Breaking news, The Spin Family 
RV Tour is heading to Fort 

2074
01:56:58,680 --> 01:57:04,320
Worth. 
So there it is if you want me. 

2075
01:57:04,360 --> 01:57:08,320
To Tyler and Spin are all going 
to bunk in this RV and we're 

2076
01:57:08,320 --> 01:57:13,280
going to throw a barbell Spin 
party every night and 

2077
01:57:13,280 --> 01:57:16,600
everybody's invited. 
So there it is. 

2078
01:57:16,600 --> 01:57:18,640
OG party on? 
On what? 

2079
01:57:18,640 --> 01:57:20,920
What's it usually on Friday or 
Saturday? 

2080
01:57:21,320 --> 01:57:23,560
Ours will be on whatever day 
that's not on. 

2081
01:57:23,600 --> 01:57:25,160
We'll just have a party once a 
once. 

2082
01:57:25,160 --> 01:57:26,160
A party? 
Yeah. 

2083
01:57:26,480 --> 01:57:27,200
So there you. 
Go. 

2084
01:57:27,200 --> 01:57:28,920
My wife doesn't know about it, 
but she will. 

2085
01:57:28,920 --> 01:57:31,960
It's. 
Gonna be weird anyway. 

2086
01:57:33,240 --> 01:57:38,040
Come visit the Spin RV bus so. 
Hopefully we'll be camping 

2087
01:57:38,040 --> 01:57:41,800
really is the best way to go or 
well the RV is sorry is the best

2088
01:57:41,800 --> 01:57:48,120
way to go. 
So there you go with that, I 

2089
01:57:48,120 --> 01:57:49,120
think. 
I think we're done for the 

2090
01:57:49,120 --> 01:57:50,400
night. 
Good show. 

2091
01:57:51,480 --> 01:57:57,680
So anyway, yeah, Surpriser 
spots, PC, they would be sold 

2092
01:57:57,680 --> 01:57:58,880
out in Madison. 
I was shocked that there are 

2093
01:57:58,880 --> 01:58:01,800
actually some left. 
So there's a whole bunch left 

2094
01:58:03,080 --> 01:58:05,760
with that. 
We will see you next week, guys.

2095
01:58:06,960 --> 01:58:07,320
See you.
