The flow of Trebek's game was so good. 02:51.225 --> 02:56.309 Like... And when they had to replace him, you realized how good he was. 02:57.189 --> 03:00.412 But I'm starting to like Ken Jennings as the host. 03:00.652 --> 03:00.832 Yeah. 03:01.793 --> 03:03.254 He'll never be Alex, right? 03:03.894 --> 03:04.215 But he... 03:06.164 --> 03:15.550 But he's getting really funny and quick-witted about some of, like one of the clues tonight was this high crime was blah, blah, blah. 03:15.870 --> 03:16.930 And the answer was treason. 03:17.591 --> 03:21.273 But one of the persons jumped in and said adultery. 03:21.973 --> 03:26.276 And Ken goes, I don't know what high adultery is, but I'm curious. 03:26.296 --> 03:32.420 I was thinking you were going to go to like marijuana. 03:32.560 --> 03:33.941 Like it was actual high. 03:34.161 --> 03:34.481 I don't know. 03:35.692 --> 03:38.313 It just was a cool, quick-witted thing. 03:38.333 --> 03:39.033 He's getting better. 03:39.053 --> 03:39.374 But yeah. 03:39.894 --> 03:44.616 I'll have to watch that. 03:45.516 --> 03:51.198 So for Jeopardy, I'm in, focused, no phone, no laptop, no nothing. 03:51.598 --> 03:58.841 Wheel of Fortune is usually when make some thumbnails, make some shorts, make some reels, and just kind of play along. 03:58.861 --> 04:02.083 Because you don't have to be there for every second. 04:02.843 --> 04:02.983 Yeah. 04:03.003 --> 04:03.083 Yeah. 04:04.935 --> 04:06.516 So that's how it kind of rolls. 04:07.336 --> 04:07.916 That's awesome. 04:09.537 --> 04:13.978 So with that, we'll get to what tonight's show is all about. 04:14.579 --> 04:16.579 And I know a lot of people are doing year-end shows. 04:16.599 --> 04:18.440 A lot of people are doing wrap-ups. 04:19.461 --> 04:25.943 We're doing ours in our own special way here on the original Thursday Night CrossFit Talk. 04:27.083 --> 04:33.306 And so Kenneth asked, do you still have to have cable to watch Wheel of Fortune? 04:34.581 --> 04:37.103 I don't have cable, but I live in a city. 04:38.024 --> 04:48.252 So I have an antenna, a little tabletop antenna that I have below my TV and I get all the local channels in high def over that antenna. 04:48.933 --> 04:49.473 That's all you need. 04:50.534 --> 04:50.714 Yeah. 04:52.356 --> 04:54.037 Cost me like 30 bucks on Amazon. 04:54.057 --> 04:56.499 I get 27 channels. 04:57.800 --> 04:58.160 Perfect. 04:58.881 --> 05:00.002 YouTube TV for the rest. 05:01.035 --> 05:01.516 There it is. 05:02.557 --> 05:03.618 We do stream some. 05:04.258 --> 05:10.905 My wife is a Netflix person, but, um, so we have a couple of those, but yep, that's what we have. 05:12.827 --> 05:17.052 Um, so anyway, we are doing this, um, in a different way. 05:17.372 --> 05:23.679 So we're going to do our favorite athletes, most improved, but it's, it has no gender. 05:25.205 --> 05:30.048 So we have opened it to anybody in the CrossFit space. 05:31.009 --> 05:33.210 And we kind of do some different things. 05:33.611 --> 05:35.752 And we want it to be very participatory. 05:36.412 --> 05:41.956 So if you have answers to these questions and you want to throw them in the chat, we'd love to hear what your thoughts are. 05:43.297 --> 05:46.499 If you want to criticize us for ours, we'll even take it. 05:47.500 --> 05:50.602 If you want to compliment us, we will love you even more. 05:53.536 --> 05:56.938 With that, we're going to start our 2023. 05:56.978 --> 06:06.324 And we might have a special guest who says they have a special story at about 845 Eastern. 06:06.344 --> 06:06.544 Okay. 06:09.206 --> 06:10.907 Okay. 06:12.348 --> 06:14.610 I don't have any Canadians at the top of my list, do I? 06:15.650 --> 06:16.151 I do not. 06:16.831 --> 06:17.512 You do not. 06:17.912 --> 06:19.513 I can't say the same for myself. 06:20.902 --> 06:21.102 All right. 06:22.343 --> 06:31.067 So to wrap up 2023, we're going to go down through a couple of our favorites and some of it is CrossFit. 06:31.087 --> 06:31.828 Some is personal. 06:32.228 --> 06:34.189 Some of it is us on the road or whatever. 06:35.130 --> 06:39.252 And, uh, and I'm going to start with athlete of the year. 06:41.153 --> 06:42.613 Would you like to go first, Ms. 06:42.673 --> 06:43.934 Latimer, or would you like me to? 06:44.995 --> 06:46.015 I sure I can start. 06:46.055 --> 06:47.176 This one was tough for me. 06:47.896 --> 06:49.297 Um, uh, 06:49.838 --> 06:51.039 I picked Jeff Adler. 06:52.540 --> 06:52.800 Okay. 06:53.441 --> 06:56.063 He was number two on my list. 06:56.283 --> 06:56.483 Yeah. 06:58.905 --> 07:03.969 I mean, it was tough for me because, well, I think his, his winning the games was huge. 07:04.029 --> 07:08.873 It was, the problem is with the Roman thing, like people want to throw shade there, but like 07:10.532 --> 07:12.673 For me, I thought that was huge. 07:13.154 --> 07:17.696 My problem with picking him in was not following that up at Rogue, and then there's questions about that win. 07:18.857 --> 07:21.218 But I think he came out of his shell. 07:21.238 --> 07:26.041 I think with the bantering with Roman, I don't know. 07:26.141 --> 07:27.222 He's the athlete of the year for me. 07:29.483 --> 07:33.746 Our buddy, Kenneth DeLapp, chose one miss. 07:34.766 --> 07:34.966 Sure. 07:35.567 --> 07:36.027 Kelly Baker. 07:37.760 --> 07:43.129 I think it's a bit of a reach, but I can see where she could be your favorite. 07:43.650 --> 07:44.672 She's one of my favorite people. 07:47.937 --> 07:48.899 So mine is Laura. 07:50.287 --> 07:58.892 Laura Horvat, I thought she dominated her side of the field much more than Jeff did on the men's side. 07:59.753 --> 08:04.315 To then beat Tia at Rogue, I don't think you can put together. 08:04.335 --> 08:07.277 And her team won Wadapalooza. 08:08.530 --> 08:09.771 If you want to go back to January. 08:10.452 --> 08:10.672 Yeah. 08:10.952 --> 08:25.945 So, um, with all of that said, I think overall she had the best year and, um, I, and I've been like in her corner for a very long time, um, which is going to surprise you when I go with some stuff later in the show. 08:28.167 --> 08:30.228 Um, I pick her for athlete of the year. 08:32.210 --> 08:33.031 It's a solid pick. 08:33.691 --> 08:36.514 I'm glad you picked her so that I could pick Jeff. 08:37.847 --> 08:38.187 There you go. 08:38.668 --> 08:43.290 And I've been a Jeff Adler like, oh my gosh, beating the drum. 08:44.851 --> 08:45.412 Jeff Adler. 08:46.332 --> 08:48.694 But Laura just had a better year. 08:48.774 --> 08:53.917 Like Jeff lost to Pat at, really the only difference is Rogue. 08:54.517 --> 08:57.199 Because Jeff's team won at Waterpalooza. 08:58.179 --> 09:01.541 And so it was just finishing second to Pat at Rogue. 09:02.582 --> 09:02.662 Yeah. 09:05.031 --> 09:05.732 So pretty close. 09:07.413 --> 09:08.854 Most improved. 09:11.857 --> 09:12.237 Can we go? 09:13.438 --> 09:13.898 Sure. 09:15.980 --> 09:17.021 I said Alex Kazan. 09:18.682 --> 09:19.223 Solid pick. 09:21.024 --> 09:22.706 She won the games version of that. 09:23.546 --> 09:27.570 Anything beyond the games that made you think she was most improved? 09:31.033 --> 09:31.653 I don't know. 09:31.673 --> 09:31.793 I mean... 09:36.036 --> 09:42.021 No, I think it's just, like, hearing, like, Cotler talk about her and just seeing some things. 09:43.763 --> 09:45.124 She won two events in a row. 09:46.065 --> 09:46.905 Yeah, I know. 09:47.005 --> 09:47.806 And that's the thing. 09:47.926 --> 09:53.150 She's got some home run capabilities in her, and I don't think she's even there yet. 09:54.672 --> 09:58.595 But I just – her games performance I thought was huge. 09:58.755 --> 10:02.518 Like, I kept counting her out, thinking she was going to, like, stay down, and she just – 10:03.973 --> 10:06.654 her finish at the end of the weekend was huge to me. 10:09.955 --> 10:10.775 Completely agree. 10:10.815 --> 10:11.616 She's awesome. 10:12.376 --> 10:14.357 I knew you would probably pick her. 10:15.277 --> 10:24.240 And so I went with Kenneth, the lapse pick, and I went with Jay Crouch after years of just kind of like stuck in the mire of, um, 10:25.735 --> 10:30.299 Australia and that competition and not even always making it to the games. 10:30.959 --> 10:42.728 And then if he did, it was like a lower level of appearance, bam, like out of nowhere shot up the charts this year and did it in a very convincing way. 10:43.228 --> 10:50.074 Like looked like he belonged with maybe the deepest men's field we've ever had at the CrossFit games. 10:51.435 --> 10:51.995 Yeah. 10:52.155 --> 10:54.277 I was surprised how good he looked at, 10:55.451 --> 11:17.027 um the the throwdown the australian what's it called uh the down under down under camps yes on the team that he was on dude he just he just looks amazing he looked good at rogue too yeah like rogue backed up everything that happened at the games he looked good at rogue 11:18.846 --> 11:22.889 And so he's now elevated himself into that middle of the top 10. 11:23.850 --> 11:25.991 Can he push higher? 11:27.252 --> 11:28.673 That's the question going forward. 11:30.975 --> 11:33.697 Kenneth, I think Dallin is a solid pick there too. 11:35.618 --> 11:39.581 He just didn't follow that up with great performances for me. 11:41.602 --> 11:44.905 Yeah, let's talk about Dallin for a second because I'm a big Dallin guy. 11:46.050 --> 11:49.012 One of the most dominant teen male athletes we've ever seen. 11:50.033 --> 11:51.153 Expectations are high. 11:52.274 --> 11:53.655 Does really well at the games. 11:54.696 --> 11:59.279 Gets to Rogue, and like the first two days, you and I are like, what is he doing? 12:00.079 --> 12:00.800 Yeah, yeah. 12:02.261 --> 12:05.123 Like, we were shocked at how bad he was. 12:06.924 --> 12:09.606 And then he did make a little mini comeback at the end. 12:10.595 --> 12:16.377 But to be an elite athlete, consistency has got to be better than that. 12:17.318 --> 12:19.459 And it's just not there quite yet for him. 12:21.599 --> 12:26.141 Which I think was evident at Guadalupe for him too, early in the year. 12:27.662 --> 12:33.304 So there's definitely something there with him, some holes or something is going on occasionally that, yeah. 12:36.511 --> 12:40.312 Uh, Lex is just catching up and, uh, she's a family feud girly. 12:41.172 --> 12:42.972 I, uh, I love family feud. 12:43.412 --> 12:46.053 I really, I am a game show junkie. 12:46.533 --> 12:50.313 When I was a kid, my mom and I watched game show after game show after game show. 12:50.913 --> 12:56.074 Like I loved being sick and home from school to like do the prices, right. 12:56.214 --> 12:58.195 The whole game show morning. 12:59.115 --> 13:02.335 Um, that was, that was some of the best times ever. 13:05.516 --> 13:05.576 Uh, 13:07.887 --> 13:15.953 So Kenneth says, uh, seems like such a good dude though, without a doubt, my favorite OG wide zombie card. 13:18.736 --> 13:19.476 And I liked Alan. 13:19.496 --> 13:20.397 That one's a good guy. 13:20.877 --> 13:26.602 Always like is good for an interview at an event is always like amenable to everything. 13:26.622 --> 13:31.666 I, uh, I like him too, but he has had some underwhelming performances for sure. 13:34.727 --> 13:36.869 So now we'll go to rookie of the year. 13:37.970 --> 13:40.932 And, and this one that was, well, I'll wait to see what you say first. 13:42.293 --> 13:44.094 I don't have one for this one. 13:44.535 --> 13:47.197 Cause I, mine's the same as yours and I was struggling with anyone else. 13:47.277 --> 13:50.959 Like, so I have a second. 13:51.320 --> 13:53.061 I tossed to Bailey Martin. 13:54.462 --> 13:56.884 Yeah. 13:57.424 --> 14:01.828 Again, look at his down under performance with Jay and Royce. 14:03.667 --> 14:11.210 He looks like he belongs now, but Yella had the games performance. 14:11.650 --> 14:20.233 And the fact, mini riff, the fact that he did not win rookie of the year at the games was criminal. 14:22.994 --> 14:23.274 Agreed. 14:23.935 --> 14:25.315 Yeah, we talked about that a lot. 14:27.476 --> 14:29.337 Top 10 performance, 18th. 14:34.076 --> 14:34.657 Big difference. 14:35.717 --> 14:44.145 And again, what we're calling maybe the most stacked top of the men's side we've seen maybe ever. 14:46.827 --> 14:47.108 Yes. 14:49.390 --> 14:52.472 And he gets a top 10 performance over there. 14:53.433 --> 14:55.215 So had to go with him. 14:55.575 --> 14:56.476 He finished ahead of Bailey. 14:57.990 --> 15:06.455 So I give him the win and he was doing things at the European semifinal that made you want to see him at the games. 15:07.196 --> 15:07.456 Yeah. 15:07.496 --> 15:13.400 Bailey got to the games, but there was no performance that made you go, Ooh, I can't wait to see him. 15:14.580 --> 15:19.543 Yella was doing stuff in Europe and you're going, I cannot wait to see this dude live. 15:21.304 --> 15:21.505 Yeah. 15:21.525 --> 15:23.586 Cause he clearly had some home run things. 15:23.626 --> 15:26.988 Like you're like, I'm not sure anyone can beat this guy at, 15:27.897 --> 15:27.997 this. 15:31.378 --> 15:43.723 And it's nothing against Olivia, but she's, she's so young and she is so long in this sport and she's going to get better and better. 15:45.224 --> 15:46.424 But this was yellows year. 15:46.744 --> 15:53.147 There was, I was not, I wasn't saying to myself, I can't wait till Olivia gets to the games so I can see her do X and 15:55.507 --> 16:22.343 so i think my issue with that is like i don't even know i understand like and she's kind of a rookie but like she's made it to the games in my mind whether that was her division or what she's made it to the game she's been on that stage she's had a taste of that competition yellow hasn't and so like it's tough for me to even call her a true rookie well there you go ken true rookie capitalized 16:24.494 --> 16:25.935 So let me ask you this. 16:26.495 --> 16:32.778 Now that the teens are not at the games, is it a different view of that? 16:35.459 --> 16:37.100 Cause they're not on the same stage anymore. 16:38.260 --> 16:41.001 I know it will really depend. 16:44.103 --> 16:47.424 I I'm going to have to see a year of competition, like how it's programmed. 16:48.285 --> 16:50.005 What kind of equipment do they get? 16:50.426 --> 16:53.307 Like, that'll be tough to say for sure. 16:55.672 --> 17:05.937 If it doesn't have a similar feel and they don't get some of the same stuff that – that was the beauty of being at the games is, like, if the pig was out, probably the masters got to use it too. 17:06.517 --> 17:15.421 And so, like, if that kind of stuff gets taken away and they aren't getting some of the special equipment and it is a different feel, then I would probably end up saying, yeah, it's different. 17:17.041 --> 17:19.863 Because they're going to go experience things that no one has ever experienced. 17:19.943 --> 17:22.724 Like, unless you've ever been to the games, you haven't experienced it. 17:24.502 --> 17:25.042 Yeah, fair. 17:25.563 --> 17:28.624 I thought it was a great question as we're kind of talking through this. 17:30.785 --> 17:35.748 So next one is best competition of the year. 17:36.808 --> 17:40.210 And I left this very open-ended, so it could be for any reason. 17:41.291 --> 17:41.771 What do you got? 17:42.992 --> 17:44.392 Northern California Classic. 17:46.613 --> 17:46.794 Huh. 17:49.735 --> 17:51.396 And why the reason behind that? 17:54.133 --> 18:05.999 I felt like it was a pretty good test of events, like enough events over multiple days, not like a one day event, not like not even because it was three, right? 18:07.980 --> 18:18.826 So three day broad test, decent payout purse, like higher end athletes. 18:19.546 --> 18:20.907 I just I thought it was a well run. 18:21.545 --> 18:27.088 I've been to Northern California Classic, although in a different format, and it was on the Masters side. 18:27.108 --> 18:38.635 And so this is where it got, like, difficult for me because for me, best comp is going to be, like, good parking, good seating, good, like, the whole experience for fans, weather, like, everything. 18:38.675 --> 18:41.797 There's, like, multiple comps that, like, get knocked out of there. 18:42.358 --> 18:47.681 For me, I feel like MFC has the best shot of being one of the best comps. 18:48.305 --> 18:51.486 They just need to fix just a couple minor things. 18:51.506 --> 18:54.127 Because I would say the venue is the greatest, the parking. 18:54.467 --> 18:58.869 Like if you are on top of it and you've already bought your parking pass, you can get in and out for free. 19:00.130 --> 19:01.770 Plenty of parking, plenty of hotels. 19:01.790 --> 19:03.991 Like I think environment plays a huge role in it. 19:04.591 --> 19:10.634 And I think for me, MFC has like a great shot at being up there. 19:10.674 --> 19:11.934 They just need to fix a couple things. 19:15.456 --> 19:15.856 I hear you. 19:18.112 --> 19:26.095 I value your opinion, but I think it's more than a few things. 19:26.195 --> 19:30.557 I think they did a great job with trying to increase the programming this year. 19:30.717 --> 19:32.398 I think they're in the right direction. 19:32.738 --> 19:40.481 Just a couple volunteer things, prizes, stuff like that. 19:41.837 --> 19:48.978 I think there needs to be a better separation of the two floors so that there's not confusion about three, two, one, go. 19:50.119 --> 19:50.859 That's a problem. 19:57.540 --> 20:03.401 Well, I watched, I watched people leave early when they shouldn't have, right? 20:03.421 --> 20:06.262 Like it was a problem in some of the age groups. 20:08.710 --> 20:12.053 Um, I think you need to pay your winning athletes. 20:13.875 --> 20:15.496 I'm not going to argue with that one. 20:15.516 --> 20:23.122 I think that's why it's holding it down because you're not going to get higher end athletes there if it isn't a little bit more notable prize. 20:24.443 --> 20:24.624 Yeah. 20:25.384 --> 20:33.451 And, um, I, I just think it could be, things could be communicated better, better standards on workouts. 20:34.052 --> 20:36.053 Um, workouts not changed last minute. 20:36.714 --> 20:36.874 Yeah. 20:38.436 --> 20:44.740 And there are acceptable ways to change a workout last minute and unacceptable ways to change a workout last minute. 20:46.060 --> 20:48.482 Definitely not the acceptable version at MFC. 20:50.843 --> 20:51.043 Yeah. 20:51.203 --> 20:51.824 My two cents. 20:53.364 --> 20:58.307 My opinions do not reflect those of Miss Jamie Latimer, a competitor at MFC. 20:59.568 --> 21:02.469 I mean, listen, we get to swim there. 21:02.590 --> 21:03.110 It's a very... 21:03.874 --> 21:05.235 Broad test of events. 21:05.875 --> 21:17.183 Like I said, I feel like the ease of getting in and out of there is the least stress I've ever had at any comp I've ever been to or spectating comp. 21:17.203 --> 21:19.305 I would think most people would agree with me. 21:19.965 --> 21:26.970 The in-out, the hotels and the drive makes it one of the best comps to be at. 21:27.470 --> 21:31.273 I've never had such a good experience, and I've been to it three years in a row. 21:31.293 --> 21:31.893 Yeah. 21:34.975 --> 21:35.295 Okay. 21:37.117 --> 21:37.337 Fine. 21:38.258 --> 21:39.519 We will agree to disagree. 21:42.963 --> 21:44.344 So mine was Crash Crucible. 21:45.505 --> 21:50.410 And I like that you picked Northern California Classic because I think those are... 21:52.546 --> 21:53.947 Those are where the sport's going to grow. 21:54.628 --> 22:10.119 What I'm starting to call the mid-major competitions that aren't Dubai, that aren't Wadapalooza, that aren't all of that, that are the rocks that have the people that we know, that we interview through semifinals. 22:10.799 --> 22:13.681 Like Kenneth says, crash, but it needs more star power. 22:14.322 --> 22:15.943 I think it had all the stars I needed. 22:17.205 --> 22:23.910 I knew so many of the athletes because of what we do that that was great for me. 22:24.591 --> 22:29.334 But what made it special is something that Rogue couldn't do, right? 22:29.954 --> 22:32.276 And probably because of weather, but the time. 22:32.857 --> 22:34.017 Everything was on time. 22:34.518 --> 22:40.362 I could schedule my weekend around the events because they were dead on time the entire weekend. 22:41.223 --> 22:45.366 Two, apparatus that you never see at a competition. 22:47.930 --> 22:50.772 You got to see cool shit the whole weekend. 22:52.374 --> 22:53.995 And it doesn't hurt that my friend was competing. 22:56.277 --> 22:59.099 But it was, I thought, a very well run. 22:59.119 --> 23:04.244 I liked that they allowed someone to gorilla broadcast it. 23:06.846 --> 23:08.187 The JR was open to that. 23:11.451 --> 23:12.332 I disagree, Kenneth. 23:12.832 --> 23:15.194 There were lots of big names on the female side. 23:15.854 --> 23:25.241 If you just know who the semifinal athletes are, many of those people on the women's side, you will see at semis this year and we'll have a shot at the games. 23:27.022 --> 23:27.182 Yep. 23:28.243 --> 23:28.663 Absolutely. 23:30.004 --> 23:34.328 So, um, that was, that was my pick. 23:34.808 --> 23:40.272 I just event organizers need to allow people to gorilla broadcast. 23:42.375 --> 23:43.175 If they're not doing it, 100%. 23:43.335 --> 23:45.676 Coverage needs to be put out there. 23:45.836 --> 23:46.056 Yes. 23:47.677 --> 23:47.837 Yep. 23:48.477 --> 23:49.798 And JR allowed that. 23:50.138 --> 23:52.119 It allowed us to get a peek in at it. 23:52.499 --> 23:57.421 It allowed us to get to see cool handstand stuff that you don't see all the time. 23:57.481 --> 23:59.261 It got trapeze pull-up bars. 23:59.781 --> 24:02.022 It had flip sleds. 24:02.262 --> 24:04.063 It had so many cool things. 24:04.563 --> 24:05.564 And a run outside. 24:08.125 --> 24:09.125 It was just a very... 24:10.558 --> 24:14.100 diverse and cool competition to watch as a spectator. 24:17.402 --> 24:19.123 So, that is that one. 24:20.564 --> 24:21.925 Just not enough for me. 24:21.945 --> 24:26.127 That's why, you know, like six events for me is not enough. 24:27.648 --> 24:27.848 Right. 24:28.488 --> 24:32.511 But the mid-majors are not going to be able to do like these massive things. 24:33.832 --> 24:36.833 But they're going to be the rock that keeps this sport growing. 24:37.814 --> 24:38.014 Mm-hmm. 24:38.852 --> 24:55.756 the Metcon rushes, the Northern California classics, the, all of those, that's, what's going to keep this thing, this ball rolling fit fest, um, fittest on the coast, um, all beach brawls, all of that stuff. 25:02.697 --> 25:03.957 No need to apologize, Kenneth. 25:04.537 --> 25:05.898 We're just kids. 25:06.658 --> 25:08.498 I've talked to most of these girls. 25:11.859 --> 25:14.719 My next category is personality of the year. 25:15.299 --> 25:21.220 And what I meant by this is, who do you tune in to watch whenever they are on a show? 25:22.520 --> 25:27.101 Not a specific show, just they appear somewhere you're going to go watch. 25:30.862 --> 25:31.122 Okay. 25:31.622 --> 25:32.002 I put... 25:32.737 --> 25:51.720 velner because i just love him and i like to hear what he has to say i think he's way up there on that because he's he is gonna say stuff yeah he yeah him and like and emily ralph are both quite candid um and i enjoy that out of them 25:55.046 --> 25:56.106 Yeah, I didn't even think of Emily. 25:56.146 --> 25:56.847 She's a great one. 25:57.507 --> 25:57.727 Yeah. 25:57.787 --> 25:59.988 But I talk to her all the time, so it's not. 26:00.188 --> 26:00.368 Yeah. 26:00.688 --> 26:02.829 So for me, that's just different. 26:03.649 --> 26:05.790 But yeah, Emily's a great one. 26:06.010 --> 26:06.971 She's a great one for that. 26:08.952 --> 26:13.834 Mine is OG will always be Rich Froning. 26:14.734 --> 26:16.235 I will always tune into Rich too. 26:16.275 --> 26:17.435 I just couldn't pick him because you did. 26:19.336 --> 26:22.017 And I will say like even like Darren. 26:23.457 --> 26:24.558 Oh, I love him. 26:25.632 --> 26:47.647 right so like like a one-off from rich i love to listen to darren especially tell old stories about rich and the stuff they used to get into because he he'll say things that rich won't um and i have i've had a soft space in my heart for rich for a long long time yeah 26:48.447 --> 26:56.271 Ever since I was back in Advocare and we spoke on the same stage on the same day and had lunch together, I will always be a Froning fan. 27:08.417 --> 27:10.158 Andrew says, athlete-wise, Vellner or Froning? 27:10.619 --> 27:15.001 Non-athlete-wise, he said Chase, Sousa, Scott, Jamie, or Greg. 27:15.041 --> 27:15.221 Greg. 27:18.567 --> 27:21.168 I think, or did I don't want my glasses on. 27:21.548 --> 27:22.648 I think that's what I meant to write. 27:23.548 --> 27:23.808 Okay. 27:27.169 --> 27:27.409 All right. 27:28.509 --> 27:30.730 So you and I took a lot of trips this year. 27:33.010 --> 27:33.890 What was your favorite one? 27:35.651 --> 27:43.052 Um, not CrossFit wise Hawaii, although it was riddled with kind of disasters. 27:43.372 --> 27:47.073 Um, namely the Maui fires messing up the whole trip from the get go, but 27:47.799 --> 27:49.400 It was really great to be away with family. 27:49.420 --> 27:52.781 And most of my trips were not spent with Aaron. 27:52.801 --> 27:53.802 So they're hard to pick. 27:53.862 --> 28:00.625 But if I'd have to say a CrossFit trip, I probably probably the games. 28:00.685 --> 28:05.287 But Orlando was a close one for me just because it's my first time out of my shell and going with you. 28:08.703 --> 28:11.785 Yeah, I had a lot of fun on all the trips this year. 28:12.265 --> 28:21.332 It was probably the best year for doing coverage, even though behind the scenes there's frustrations and things we get upset over. 28:21.952 --> 28:24.914 I really had a blast the entire year. 28:26.615 --> 28:30.278 But really my favorite was probably Tempe. 28:30.318 --> 28:31.198 Most recent one. 28:34.429 --> 29:00.841 right and because because i was there with a big group of people we were all hanging out all different personalities ronica punching me when you're on the floor um like going to voodoo donut jim never comprehending what he is supposed to do on the floor until maybe five minutes before 29:02.176 --> 29:04.860 Or who knows even if he's while he's out there. 29:04.940 --> 29:05.280 Who knows? 29:06.602 --> 29:15.513 You and Aaron being Marissa Tomei and Joe Pesci and my cousin Vinny every night, every morning and every night in the kitchen at the Airbnb. 29:15.534 --> 29:16.575 Yeah. 29:18.057 --> 29:20.420 And the text from Corey to eat all throughout the day. 29:23.098 --> 29:23.758 That's sweet. 29:23.778 --> 29:26.300 But it was just a fun, fun trip. 29:26.380 --> 29:28.001 And it was really laid back. 29:28.061 --> 29:30.442 I'm a laid back guy for the most part on trips. 29:30.962 --> 29:31.883 I just go with the flow. 29:32.803 --> 29:35.425 I know you guys are athletes and have to be places. 29:36.125 --> 29:37.146 And I'm just there. 29:37.826 --> 29:39.487 If I have to get an Uber, I'll get an Uber. 29:39.527 --> 29:39.947 I'm cool. 29:40.968 --> 29:41.228 I know. 29:41.448 --> 29:41.648 I know. 29:42.588 --> 29:45.330 And it was just a fun, fun trip. 29:46.190 --> 29:48.932 And I really feel like... 29:50.427 --> 30:00.289 I understand the masters athletes plight after that trip to Tempe because I had free access to everything. 30:00.309 --> 30:05.110 Like I could sit in athlete village and I could talk to Jason Grubb. 30:06.190 --> 30:12.512 I could talk to Ryan Radke and I could get their opinions about things that are going on for the masters. 30:12.992 --> 30:18.293 And it just gave me a better insight to cover them and their sport going forward. 30:22.295 --> 30:24.597 From a business perspective, but yeah. 30:27.819 --> 30:29.080 So that was mine. 30:31.101 --> 30:31.962 Why Orlando? 30:32.662 --> 30:33.743 Orlando was wild. 30:35.064 --> 30:40.308 It was, it just was my first, like, I just got thrown into the deep end, like go interview these people. 30:40.388 --> 30:43.410 And it just had to push me out of my comfort zone. 30:45.131 --> 30:49.214 Well, what, what I learned in Orlando was that like, you were the right fit. 30:51.069 --> 30:53.850 Because I didn't ask you to just go get in. 30:53.890 --> 30:55.070 You just started doing it. 30:57.551 --> 31:01.451 I thought that was my task. 31:01.471 --> 31:05.412 Well, we talked briefly, but we get there and you go. 31:05.852 --> 31:07.533 I got to get interviews. 31:07.573 --> 31:07.973 I'm going. 31:08.013 --> 31:08.493 I'm going. 31:09.353 --> 31:18.095 And then we just upgraded you to the GoPro and we kept upgrading you and you just kept getting better and better as we went on. 31:19.896 --> 31:20.656 When I have access. 31:22.284 --> 31:22.665 Correct. 31:25.954 --> 31:28.521 And someone doesn't do a five-minute interview in front of you. 31:28.541 --> 31:30.907 Yeah, that would help. 31:33.567 --> 31:43.670 And so the next one for me, kind of the next thing we're going to pick is favorite post-workout interview you did this year. 31:44.470 --> 31:47.851 And I said, it's okay to do a few because we did a lot. 31:48.591 --> 31:54.273 Like we did over a hundred post-workout interviews as a team this year. 31:56.993 --> 31:58.854 And I'll let you go first. 31:59.906 --> 32:03.047 Because my really favorite one I didn't even list. 32:04.027 --> 32:05.907 So I'm going to go off charts. 32:07.268 --> 32:15.429 Probably my favorite one was catching Valner walking off the floor after the sled pull at semis. 32:16.970 --> 32:17.290 Pissed. 32:18.370 --> 32:18.590 Yeah. 32:22.051 --> 32:26.592 Upset about the sleds and you running after him. 32:27.532 --> 32:27.752 Yes. 32:29.605 --> 32:30.165 Yes, Kenneth. 32:30.766 --> 32:35.548 Doesn't the story go, you asked him for an interview and he said, if you can run with me. 32:35.568 --> 32:37.989 Yeah. 32:38.029 --> 32:41.190 He's like, if you can do it while we're walking, I'm like, absolutely. 32:41.430 --> 32:41.830 Let's go. 32:41.850 --> 32:45.752 He didn't, I don't think he said run, but yeah, I'd have been right there too. 32:48.333 --> 32:48.533 Yeah. 32:49.353 --> 32:50.494 That was, that was a good one. 32:51.594 --> 32:52.675 And it got a lot of legs too. 32:54.008 --> 32:56.850 Like on social media and YouTube and such. 32:58.192 --> 32:59.353 So you had just one? 32:59.653 --> 33:00.974 You were able to get it down to one? 33:01.735 --> 33:03.576 Oh, no, I have more than just one. 33:03.716 --> 33:04.517 Do you want to do one? 33:07.139 --> 33:10.903 So my favorite one is going to come out of left field. 33:11.363 --> 33:12.144 It was Cole Sager. 33:12.164 --> 33:12.204 Oh. 33:16.447 --> 33:20.691 So in Pasadena, he was fighting for his life on Sunday. 33:22.783 --> 33:27.486 And I asked him the question like, you know, here you are trying to make it to the games again. 33:27.946 --> 33:29.907 It's Sunday and it's go time. 33:30.467 --> 33:31.888 You've been in this spot before. 33:33.129 --> 33:33.789 What does it mean? 33:33.829 --> 33:38.992 And he just went on this whole thing about, I love the pressure cooker days. 33:39.752 --> 33:42.794 I love the days when it's all on me and I've got to go. 33:42.814 --> 33:44.515 I love Sundays. 33:45.275 --> 33:50.838 I learn a lot about myself, not just on the floor, but off the floor in these moments. 33:52.145 --> 33:55.447 And it just, I watched it back today and like, I got goosebumps. 33:58.189 --> 34:01.551 And so that's my, that's my number one. 34:01.571 --> 34:05.874 Okay. 34:06.214 --> 34:19.182 One of my other ones was Chelsea Nicholas at the games, which was terrible, unfortunate timing, but I did just, I liked the interview of getting her back there in the, in the ice bath. 34:19.943 --> 34:21.444 And she was doing so well. 34:23.369 --> 34:23.729 Winning. 34:23.749 --> 34:25.090 I know. 34:28.092 --> 34:29.413 You know what's come out of that, though? 34:29.453 --> 34:31.554 It's like I really gained a really good friend. 34:34.996 --> 34:35.937 Chelsea's awesome. 34:36.778 --> 34:42.081 I chat with her probably once a month about her Achilles and check in and see how she's doing. 34:43.002 --> 34:44.503 She is really, really awesome. 34:45.143 --> 34:47.505 And it was a great interview in the ice baths with her. 34:51.454 --> 34:52.475 What are they talking about over here? 34:52.495 --> 34:53.537 What's Andrew saying? 34:53.757 --> 34:55.599 We'll talk about that after we get to this part. 34:55.839 --> 34:56.080 Okay. 34:57.221 --> 34:57.441 All right. 34:57.822 --> 34:58.482 You got a second one? 35:02.515 --> 35:03.656 I had a ton. 35:04.456 --> 35:13.440 I'll say my second favorite one was Kelly Baker right after she tripped over the bag, had to wait to see if she made the games. 35:13.540 --> 35:21.263 And she did after following her for the whole season to have that climactic moment on tape was freaking awesome. 35:25.465 --> 35:31.208 I have two others that I wrote both from Orlando, Jack Farlow and Marquand Jones. 35:31.900 --> 35:56.816 jack was just like the sweetest kid and marquand is that dude is a talker it was i would enjoy getting to speak with him yeah marquand was one of my favorite semi-final interviews we did this season jack we've had on a few times love that kid um uh and i see big things in his future i'll add i'll add a couple more then um tetlow is always a blast 35:58.544 --> 36:02.427 But Marissa Flowers, I've gotten to know her over the last couple years. 36:02.987 --> 36:07.311 She announced her retirement to me, not this year, but the year before. 36:07.451 --> 36:10.833 And she made it back and came back, which was cool. 36:11.414 --> 36:18.379 And then almost won that ring muscle-up burpee over box. 36:18.439 --> 36:20.421 She finished third to Ariel and Alex. 36:20.441 --> 36:20.541 Yeah. 36:21.901 --> 36:33.965 And then Alison Scuds for, for the dramatic way that I got that interview is she was crying because she knew, she knew it wasn't going to happen. 36:35.125 --> 36:38.886 And she's, she's still like bucked up and gave me a great interview. 36:38.906 --> 36:41.687 And I, that was freaking awesome. 36:42.268 --> 36:46.889 And then of course, anytime I talk to Ariel at an event, she's so laid back. 36:49.110 --> 36:50.090 She's gold all the time. 36:50.874 --> 36:51.074 Yeah. 36:54.255 --> 36:54.955 So those are mine. 37:00.256 --> 37:00.457 Okay. 37:00.477 --> 37:10.879 So what they were saying, which I have not seen, is that Hiller made a post saying that no one will take the master seriously now that it's a separate event. 37:13.300 --> 37:16.261 Kenneth is saying he posted a clarification 28 or so minutes ago. 37:18.871 --> 37:19.792 So I have not seen it. 37:19.952 --> 37:24.355 I don't know what he said other than that. 37:25.176 --> 37:26.817 Andrew's saying, I hope we can prove him wrong. 37:26.837 --> 37:29.119 Okay, this says same, same. 37:29.139 --> 37:35.323 I mean, I get what he's saying. 37:35.343 --> 37:37.745 We're going to have to see it. 37:39.426 --> 37:40.547 At least Grubb called him out. 37:40.587 --> 37:40.988 That's good. 37:44.690 --> 37:48.293 It's not even, it's honestly whether CrossFit is, 37:48.686 --> 37:52.329 tries to still like make it serious. 37:52.549 --> 37:53.810 We can only do so much. 37:54.190 --> 38:01.836 And if they don't put a priority on it and there isn't the payout and there isn't the coverage, it won't, it really won't get taken seriously. 38:02.356 --> 38:08.581 So it's even if the community wants it to be taken seriously, it's going to be up to CrossFit. 38:09.201 --> 38:13.604 So we're going to have to see what, again, we still don't, it's not even serious. 38:13.704 --> 38:17.067 We still don't even have a date in a place like, 38:19.395 --> 38:24.299 My response is nobody's taking any of this serious yet. 38:25.980 --> 38:27.581 Nobody's taking the elite serious yet. 38:29.882 --> 38:31.564 We are still a fringe sport. 38:34.806 --> 38:39.109 And until some drastic changes are made, like it'll never be more than that. 38:42.230 --> 38:45.011 But I do think that masters and teens can be successful. 38:46.051 --> 38:48.052 If you look at other sports, they are there. 38:48.992 --> 38:53.294 Like in golf, the Champions League was a huge success. 38:56.735 --> 38:58.156 So, I don't know. 38:58.856 --> 38:59.676 We'll see what happens. 39:00.837 --> 39:02.497 It's all in its infancy stage. 39:03.938 --> 39:09.780 I think we all have to stop being so reactive in the moment and let things play out a little longer than... 39:12.045 --> 39:40.453 than a couple weeks months because the evolution of sport is sometimes decades not months yep yep all right so biggest disappointment of the year me if you want me to go first i'll go first i can go first 39:41.331 --> 39:43.493 The biggest disappointment was me not making the games. 39:47.436 --> 39:48.317 So it's all about you. 39:48.977 --> 39:49.898 I'm just kidding. 39:51.860 --> 40:09.254 I mean, I wouldn't say that if the games hadn't been taken away this year, I would, but like the way the whole season wound up and it being split off, it just super sucks. 40:13.649 --> 40:17.791 Yeah, I can see that. 40:18.231 --> 40:25.494 Because I got the intimate look of you at quarterfinals, I saw how much it meant to you. 40:27.095 --> 40:31.857 The problem is I'm 95% sure I had COVID during semifinals. 40:33.778 --> 40:36.619 I easily think I could have made it. 40:37.319 --> 40:37.840 Not easily. 40:38.860 --> 40:40.761 I could have done better in the 40:41.857 --> 40:43.558 thrust or ring muscle-up workout and made it. 40:44.399 --> 40:46.700 And probably even better in the rope climb workout. 40:46.760 --> 40:48.021 I was conservative. 40:48.061 --> 40:50.523 I felt like my lungs weren't really there. 40:50.803 --> 40:52.664 And I think I would have done great at the game. 40:52.724 --> 40:53.645 So it's just frustrating. 40:53.965 --> 40:59.508 I just think, and everyone, lots of athletes have to do that. 40:59.568 --> 41:01.570 Timing happens and sicknesses happen. 41:01.630 --> 41:02.730 And so it is what it is. 41:03.091 --> 41:09.355 And I think I should be strong enough to outperform a cold or sickness or whatever. 41:09.395 --> 41:11.316 But it is what it is. 41:14.039 --> 41:16.720 Kenneth, this was on my list. 41:16.800 --> 41:19.961 Ricky Mack getting injured was on my list for biggest disappointments. 41:20.941 --> 41:22.862 It did not win, but it was on my list. 41:24.382 --> 41:24.782 That's a good one. 41:25.862 --> 41:29.343 Another one on my list that didn't make it, Justin Medeiros at the games. 41:31.524 --> 41:32.664 Yeah. 41:35.225 --> 41:35.905 I didn't say one. 41:36.626 --> 41:41.547 Just saying it was, if you're a Justin fan, that was a big disappointment. 41:42.725 --> 41:46.186 Like not only did he, he went from winner to outside the top 10. 41:46.226 --> 41:46.426 Yep. 41:46.446 --> 41:47.466 Yep. 41:51.168 --> 42:05.232 Um, and then my biggest disappointment, which is probably a little personal is Anika not making it to the games and it being so damn close. 42:08.700 --> 42:16.464 And it sucks because everybody around her that was close to her point total are friends of the show. 42:18.165 --> 42:21.246 So if she made it, I was going to be disappointed about another thing. 42:22.327 --> 42:25.028 But Annika has fought through so many adversities. 42:27.289 --> 42:33.152 And then to... And I know it shouldn't come down to judging. 42:33.172 --> 42:35.613 Those two judging calls... 42:38.410 --> 42:44.094 Like I have a still shot of her feet behind the line with the sandbag in her arms before she got called back. 42:48.016 --> 42:49.097 That lost her that event. 42:50.378 --> 42:52.539 And the rope climb thing was a total debacle. 42:56.242 --> 42:59.024 But that one, you were there. 43:00.265 --> 43:01.706 You saw how disappointed I was. 43:01.726 --> 43:03.307 I was devastated. 43:04.407 --> 43:08.210 More devastated than a news person should be who covers the sport. 43:12.839 --> 43:14.820 but there it is. 43:17.062 --> 43:22.966 Um, so Kenneth brings up a question. 43:23.966 --> 43:35.534 He said, uh, favorite Clydesdale shows of the year outside of weight loss journey, Thursday night, CrossFit post event, hotel shows tie between Stacy Tover and Hannah and Hannah black episodes. 43:42.068 --> 44:04.604 So we do so many shows in a year, but the first Tana black interview, the second one was fun too, but that first Tana black episode, when you find out that she studied Isabel as her like thesis before she ever did CrossFit was fascinating to me. 44:05.585 --> 44:07.286 Um, and really cool. 44:09.096 --> 44:16.159 I will say my favorite, none of those from the year was my birthday hot wings challenge. 44:19.821 --> 44:25.864 I had so much fun on that and the interaction that came in from that was so awesome. 44:26.785 --> 44:31.187 Um, that was, that was probably my favorite by far. 44:35.789 --> 44:35.909 So 44:37.759 --> 44:39.240 On to more. 44:39.720 --> 44:41.881 Best teen athlete of the year. 44:42.861 --> 44:44.062 And I let you have the pick. 44:46.543 --> 44:48.204 Yeah, so I'm picking Ty Jenkins. 44:50.565 --> 44:52.066 Who flat out dominated. 44:52.986 --> 44:53.927 Yeah. 44:55.467 --> 44:56.828 He's like another Dale and Pepper. 45:00.936 --> 45:04.037 He's going to be a one to watch going into the men's field. 45:04.717 --> 45:08.919 And you can't say that about every teen male champion. 45:10.759 --> 45:11.640 No, you cannot. 45:11.840 --> 45:14.761 Most, most can't make it right into the men's. 45:15.101 --> 45:17.922 And I don't know if he necessarily will, but that dude is strong. 45:19.962 --> 45:20.282 He is. 45:21.843 --> 45:26.024 So I picked, I actually had a tie in my head. 45:26.564 --> 45:27.725 I pick Lucy McGonigal. 45:29.239 --> 45:37.286 who did very well at the European semifinal as an individual athlete and then went on to win the teen division for the females. 45:39.027 --> 45:45.132 I think she has a bright outlook in whatever she does. 45:46.052 --> 45:58.102 Her coach is Jarrett Smith, who I got to know this last year, and he just thinks so highly of her, and not just from an athlete standpoint, but overall. 45:59.716 --> 46:00.236 as a person. 46:00.256 --> 46:06.418 Those females tend to do what pretty well. 46:08.618 --> 46:11.699 But this is really like our first European candidate. 46:12.840 --> 46:13.060 Yeah. 46:17.541 --> 46:18.541 So that's going to be interesting. 46:22.042 --> 46:22.682 All right. 46:23.342 --> 46:25.963 Favorite Masters athlete of the year. 46:28.604 --> 46:29.084 Favorite 46:30.109 --> 46:30.549 Or best. 46:30.810 --> 46:31.450 What did you ask? 46:32.951 --> 46:35.233 I went, I went for the one who had the best. 46:35.253 --> 46:37.735 Okay. 46:38.035 --> 46:39.296 I have a bit of a tie. 46:42.118 --> 46:50.605 I'm probably going to lean towards grub, but Rudy's my other, I just, for one, I think Rudy is like, he came to more than one event. 46:50.645 --> 46:52.507 Like he showed up at MFC. 46:53.347 --> 46:54.989 He's getting sponsors. 46:55.049 --> 46:55.429 Like he's, 46:56.536 --> 47:00.798 bringing in a little bit more credibility into the master space, which Grubb has already done. 47:01.279 --> 47:07.042 But Grubb continues to show his face at many comps and is a huge advocate on the master's side. 47:07.422 --> 47:13.325 So I think, I mean, I lean towards Grubb as the best master's athlete and he just dominates. 47:14.405 --> 47:17.647 He's not even the youngest in his bracket anymore and he still just dominates. 47:18.327 --> 47:21.749 He would have podiumed in the age bracket below him, like at Legends. 47:21.809 --> 47:22.370 It's crazy. 47:23.530 --> 47:24.891 Dude, he's just crazy. 47:26.286 --> 47:33.311 So grub four time champ, Rudy two time champ, you know, he's had double the time. 47:33.331 --> 47:35.053 Right. 47:35.193 --> 47:37.575 And I, and I totally get along with grub. 47:37.655 --> 47:38.435 I love grub. 47:39.236 --> 47:46.401 I'm really close to Rudy, but in there, but they're the two faces of the master's division right now on the men's side. 47:47.762 --> 47:52.386 And it's up to them to like, continue like grub building a training camp. 47:54.525 --> 47:59.647 in the master's division, Rudy getting the podium deal, Rudy getting the tier deal. 48:00.387 --> 48:03.948 Like those are important steps for the master's division. 48:04.728 --> 48:04.948 Yes. 48:06.769 --> 48:07.969 And they have to keep doing that. 48:08.949 --> 48:12.770 Uh, Kenneth lap calls, uh, Jamie, the people's champ Latimer. 48:12.810 --> 48:13.430 No question. 48:14.811 --> 48:16.211 I gotta do more things. 48:16.671 --> 48:21.833 Um, my pick. 48:23.650 --> 48:24.651 is Kelly Friel. 48:29.094 --> 48:30.395 And why do I pick her? 48:33.698 --> 48:42.325 Because there were moments at the games when the men and women were on the floor at the same time, oftentimes. 48:44.126 --> 48:47.749 And in most divisions, the men were way out in front of the women. 48:50.834 --> 48:55.058 Kelly Friel was not going to let that happen. 48:56.939 --> 48:59.041 And she was competing against grubs division. 49:02.404 --> 49:12.472 And she was going out there doing the best she could and competing alongside the men and dominated her division by so much. 49:13.593 --> 49:16.255 And she has now been to the games. 49:17.436 --> 49:19.078 I think six times. 49:21.331 --> 49:23.072 With two seconds and four firsts. 49:29.455 --> 49:36.618 Plus, we stayed in the same hotel a couple years ago, and we grilled out together, and she's just freaking awesome. 49:39.220 --> 49:42.021 I would like to see her at more camps. 49:42.061 --> 49:44.122 Bring that awesomeness to more things. 49:45.202 --> 49:45.483 I know. 49:46.183 --> 49:47.824 It is hard to get to some of these American camps. 49:48.610 --> 49:57.859 If you talk about Michigan to Tempe, England to Tempe would be astronomical. 49:58.019 --> 50:05.006 And if prize money isn't at a rate that makes sense, you just can't do it. 50:05.907 --> 50:10.551 Does she do any of the European stuff? 50:10.571 --> 50:11.452 Does she get on a team? 50:11.472 --> 50:13.094 Does she try to show up at any of those? 50:13.912 --> 50:21.096 I know a couple of years ago she would, she would go elite at like the French throwdown and stuff like that. 50:21.776 --> 50:23.717 Um, I don't know. 50:23.758 --> 50:26.579 They have the master's opportunities in Europe that they do here. 50:26.599 --> 50:31.502 I know she doesn't look around Europe. 50:33.563 --> 50:36.264 Um, so I know she, she just does a bunch of stuff. 50:37.225 --> 50:37.365 Um, 50:39.317 --> 50:42.279 But it's hard, and you and I have talked. 50:42.819 --> 50:48.642 Without a prize purse that meets the needs of the athletes, you're not going to get the top end. 50:49.062 --> 50:51.003 She does Wadapalooza because Wadapalooza pays. 50:54.325 --> 50:54.505 Yep. 50:55.866 --> 50:57.947 And it's probably the shortest flight from England she can get. 50:58.907 --> 51:00.908 Yeah, yeah. 51:03.570 --> 51:05.431 So there you go. 51:08.848 --> 51:11.189 Kenneth says, I don't like how Sam Dancer won his division. 51:11.709 --> 51:13.710 Then his response was, I'm going elite next year. 51:14.330 --> 51:15.351 Irked me for some reason. 51:17.551 --> 51:20.912 Yeah, kind of like, oh, that group was too easy. 51:20.992 --> 51:22.533 I need a bigger challenge. 51:24.774 --> 51:25.274 I get it. 51:25.514 --> 51:26.094 I get it, Ken. 51:27.455 --> 51:27.995 I get it too. 51:29.696 --> 51:30.776 But this year you can do both. 51:31.856 --> 51:32.036 Yep. 51:32.637 --> 51:34.617 I mean, we'll see what he's capable of doing. 51:34.637 --> 51:36.618 So see if you can back it up. 51:37.691 --> 51:42.312 you were allowed in the book to compete elite and masters if you wish. 51:43.112 --> 51:43.292 Yeah. 51:43.572 --> 51:44.033 I love that. 51:44.393 --> 51:47.293 I mean, I, I think that's, I think that's a good change. 51:48.013 --> 51:57.056 I, I understand people's questioning the programming and how it's really going to filter, but I do like that option. 51:59.576 --> 51:59.896 All right. 52:00.076 --> 52:01.657 Favorite moment of the season. 52:05.058 --> 52:06.598 Competing at crash on my birthday. 52:10.948 --> 52:11.288 Okay. 52:15.851 --> 52:17.553 And you did well that day, didn't you? 52:17.573 --> 52:17.613 No. 52:18.493 --> 52:18.713 No? 52:18.733 --> 52:20.675 That was my worst day. 52:21.095 --> 52:21.275 No. 52:25.498 --> 52:26.319 That was my worst day. 52:26.559 --> 52:30.081 That was the handstand walk and the thruster. 52:30.502 --> 52:32.663 It just... But you PR'd... I don't know. 52:33.684 --> 52:36.646 Yeah, like I hit a thruster weight that I've never hit before. 52:37.621 --> 53:01.660 um it was nice of like it was nice to see like i had my shirt i had everyone there sign it it was very nice to get the happy birthdays susan my face with the camera like it just it just felt nice yeah it was cool it was a cool moment so mine um was aerial poduming podiuming 53:03.587 --> 53:22.131 in a tie with getting to do the full documentaries with you and you and Rudy to go be at your gyms, hang out with you and your families and be able to, to do that was a lot, was just a blast for me. 53:22.671 --> 53:25.832 And it, and it pulled something out of me that I didn't know was there. 53:29.295 --> 53:36.341 But aerial podiuming after we had just had a talk with her like a month before that all she needed was some confidence in herself. 53:39.544 --> 53:45.369 And to see that come to fruition was just a really cool, cool thing. 53:47.651 --> 53:48.592 And so happy for her. 53:48.732 --> 53:52.916 And Dylan is just one of the nicest guys out there. 53:52.996 --> 53:54.357 So that was just a blast. 53:58.603 --> 53:59.845 Now we get into some nitty-gritty. 54:02.127 --> 54:05.310 Best CrossFit decision in 2023? 54:08.593 --> 54:13.578 I'm going to say bringing Dave back in to oversee the games. 54:16.040 --> 54:16.340 Okay. 54:16.540 --> 54:16.981 Good call. 54:20.124 --> 54:23.107 Do you think we've even seen the plan yet? 54:26.923 --> 54:28.084 No, I don't know. 54:28.244 --> 54:33.868 I mean, I think he does a good job of making sure the right story is told on the floor. 54:34.229 --> 54:37.711 And I have a feeling, and I think he even stated he had to change something. 54:37.791 --> 54:40.554 So I'm thankful for probably that. 54:40.634 --> 54:46.578 Like we probably would have had more complaints than we did at the games had they not been put in that position to fix some things. 54:49.380 --> 54:50.061 I'll say this. 54:51.782 --> 54:53.744 We had a lot of complaints at semifinals. 54:53.764 --> 54:53.824 Yes. 54:56.573 --> 54:58.756 we didn't see that level of complaint at the games. 54:59.578 --> 54:59.758 Right. 55:01.681 --> 55:09.553 I have not always backed the decision for Dave to be the one back to run it, but I think it was needed this year. 55:11.311 --> 55:13.493 or whatever that means. 55:14.434 --> 55:15.334 And I like Dave. 55:16.355 --> 55:19.138 Every time I've talked to Dave, he's been very cordial, very nice. 55:19.158 --> 55:22.140 I don't have anything personally against him. 55:22.160 --> 55:33.710 I just... This is for another show, but I think we need to get outside of what has always been and move into something that is designed to grow the sport. 55:35.251 --> 55:35.491 Fair enough. 55:35.511 --> 55:35.591 Yeah. 55:39.475 --> 55:39.655 So... 55:41.704 --> 55:54.909 Mine, my best decision of 2023 was to give the semifinals back to event directors who do this stuff all the time. 55:55.929 --> 56:05.212 And especially to Wilson Pak in North America East and Dylan Malitzky and Loudon Live in North America West. 56:06.813 --> 56:09.334 And they gave it to the French Throwdown in Europe. 56:10.834 --> 56:12.795 Those were the three that CrossFit tried to take over. 56:13.736 --> 56:15.017 That did not go well. 56:17.519 --> 56:24.103 And I'm glad that they gave that back to the event directors who know what they're doing and can do a great job at this. 56:29.087 --> 56:30.188 That is my best decision. 56:32.829 --> 56:34.591 The bar is pretty low, according to Andrew. 56:36.986 --> 56:39.648 Andrew says the bar is pretty low to pick a best decision by CrossFit. 56:40.108 --> 56:41.209 We're trying to stay positive. 56:43.290 --> 56:48.813 But we do have the worst decision made by CrossFit in 2023 up next. 56:50.734 --> 56:53.656 So I'll turn that over to Jamie. 56:53.676 --> 56:56.758 So games-wise, this was sort of tough for me. 56:56.778 --> 56:59.860 I did it games-wise and not just HQ-wise. 57:00.820 --> 57:02.261 Games-wise, I'm going to say not... 57:04.921 --> 57:11.747 There's multiple to this and the whole master side, but like not broadcasting the masters properly. 57:12.187 --> 57:14.750 The one camera I think was not a good decision. 57:16.931 --> 57:22.636 HQ wise, I think the way the affiliate fee increase was implemented. 57:23.357 --> 57:28.682 And I've said that my opinion on this, how I feel like it should have been like a tiered or like a overtime. 57:28.762 --> 57:32.525 I just think that that was not the best decision, but we shall see. 57:35.728 --> 57:53.766 So HQ wise, I think the worst decision they made is to not have a person capable of communicating decisions that are made. 57:55.227 --> 57:57.309 I don't even think they have that person on staff. 57:58.106 --> 58:11.016 Like, they need to hire a person to make these announcements that can answer questions and do it in a way that doesn't get mucked up in the process. 58:13.778 --> 58:13.958 Yeah. 58:18.761 --> 58:20.983 So that's the worst HQ decision. 58:21.003 --> 58:26.207 The worst games decision, and I'm probably just going on my riff... 58:29.909 --> 58:31.590 picking Roman to win Spirit of the Games. 58:32.250 --> 58:32.651 Oh, yeah. 58:33.271 --> 58:33.851 That's a good one. 58:34.772 --> 58:37.313 Was the worst decision ever. 58:40.395 --> 58:51.641 We talked to Tony Turski today, who had a torn calf at Legends, had to do his crossovers one-legged, and he didn't win Spirit of the Games. 58:52.542 --> 58:52.882 I know. 58:53.082 --> 58:53.342 I know. 58:55.103 --> 58:56.964 Cuts is a great one, guys. 58:57.384 --> 58:58.205 I totally agree. 59:00.262 --> 59:11.693 So I, and, and we've said this over and over again, we saw no less than five masters athletes have to do one legged double unders on, in their side. 59:12.974 --> 59:19.040 And, um, all your adaptive athletes, like, yeah, he's not doing anything special. 59:21.723 --> 59:23.925 No, that was a PR mistake. 59:25.518 --> 59:51.478 move and not a legit I don't even think the award should exist it's a mockery of what it used to be so cuts I guess I can see that Kelly Baker almost took the whole machine down after being cut that is true 59:53.393 --> 59:56.354 And for my friend Kelly, I'm glad she got to compete another day. 59:56.894 --> 01:00:03.977 Got probably more shine and highlight than she would have gotten had she finished in the top 30. 01:00:05.357 --> 01:00:06.918 I don't like the amount of cuts. 01:00:07.018 --> 01:00:07.958 I will grant you that. 01:00:09.019 --> 01:00:16.542 I'm okay with cutting from 40 to 20 on the last day or 40 to 30, something like that, on the last day. 01:00:17.442 --> 01:00:19.863 But that Friday night cut is dumb to me. 01:00:25.051 --> 01:00:31.853 Yeah, we kind of talked about that, Andrew, earlier on when we picked our Rookie of the Year who was Yella unanimously by us. 01:00:34.314 --> 01:00:34.634 But yeah. 01:00:37.134 --> 01:00:37.995 That Spirit of the Game one. 01:00:38.475 --> 01:00:41.816 That has been a thorn in my side nonstop. 01:00:44.756 --> 01:00:44.996 All right. 01:00:45.296 --> 01:00:54.339 Last one for this year is if you could add three things to the rulebook, what would they be? 01:00:56.960 --> 01:00:58.521 Okay. 01:00:59.782 --> 01:01:03.824 We both have that workout videos. 01:01:05.145 --> 01:01:14.551 Every workout, like for the open or quarterfinals, semifinals, whatever it is that you're doing, should have to be submitted with your score at the time of submission of score. 01:01:15.371 --> 01:01:18.593 And when the leaderboard populates, that should be public. 01:01:19.614 --> 01:01:25.938 So all, if there's five workouts, all five videos should be on the leaderboard, clickable by anyone and viewable. 01:01:27.321 --> 01:01:29.111 That's my number one. 01:01:31.612 --> 01:01:33.533 I want to say my piece. 01:01:34.393 --> 01:01:41.655 Everybody says that CrossFit can't handle the workload of a bunch of video reviews. 01:01:42.555 --> 01:01:48.256 You make those things public, you're not going to have to do a whole bunch of work because people are going to point it all out to you. 01:01:48.816 --> 01:01:50.517 You're going to be able to look over at Hiller's site. 01:01:50.837 --> 01:01:56.278 You're going to be able to look over at anybody with a voice talking about how bad a video is. 01:01:59.304 --> 01:02:02.325 And hopefully knowing that they're out there public. 01:02:03.505 --> 01:02:04.166 No, they won't. 01:02:04.846 --> 01:02:10.328 Not with this administration at HQ because they don't want to be that transparent. 01:02:16.610 --> 01:02:25.073 It's honestly like it just, just making them out there public should hold the athletes to like that level of like, anyone's going to look at this. 01:02:25.373 --> 01:02:28.594 I better review it before I submit it and make sure I move well. 01:02:30.003 --> 01:02:32.144 And if you don't, you're going to get ridiculed and called out. 01:02:32.344 --> 01:02:35.264 And I think that would be good for the sport. 01:02:35.865 --> 01:02:37.805 I think most of that stuff has been good for the sport. 01:02:37.825 --> 01:02:41.686 I agree. 01:02:43.287 --> 01:02:59.391 My number two is that, and I don't know how this would necessarily, just I think a general statement, like any CrossFit sanctioned event should have a award or prize purse associated and backed and announced. 01:03:02.884 --> 01:03:03.584 Okay. 01:03:03.664 --> 01:03:04.404 I can go with that one. 01:03:07.025 --> 01:03:11.786 And I think there should be a basic movement list in the rule book. 01:03:12.846 --> 01:03:16.667 Even if it's like 30 basic movements, they're probably always going to be in the open or something. 01:03:16.967 --> 01:03:24.509 And that should follow through to like every stage of competition so that there's no question on, I don't know, a dumbbell snatch. 01:03:24.769 --> 01:03:28.030 Like is, you know, is it two heads of the dumbbell? 01:03:28.050 --> 01:03:29.650 Like this should just be kind of universal. 01:03:32.441 --> 01:03:38.702 Well, Kenneth asks, any other professional sport release a yearly rule book? 01:03:39.643 --> 01:03:41.863 I will say yes, kind of. 01:03:43.423 --> 01:03:56.066 Most sports have a rule book in place that there is a yearly review done by a rules committee that then makes recommendations to the ownership of that league. 01:03:57.833 --> 01:04:00.674 And then they can vote to make that change or not. 01:04:01.054 --> 01:04:02.554 But it's all done publicly. 01:04:02.574 --> 01:04:07.916 And if it's voted through, then that change is made to the rulebook. 01:04:09.036 --> 01:04:14.618 It's not like a brand new rulebook every year, but you can make... There's yearly reviews to it. 01:04:15.638 --> 01:04:19.679 Happens in the NFL, happens in Major League Baseball, all that kind of stuff. 01:04:21.300 --> 01:04:22.020 Sure. 01:04:23.860 --> 01:04:24.941 So my other two are... 01:04:26.607 --> 01:04:31.669 All finishes should finish away from the chaos if you are a sanctioned CrossFit event. 01:04:33.409 --> 01:04:52.135 We have been to too many events this year where we couldn't tell who won because the finish line was either at the point you were done with your workout in the middle of the floor or you finished where everybody was hanging out and you couldn't tell if they were in the chalk bucket or crossing the finish line. 01:04:56.553 --> 01:05:00.116 I am very passionate about finishes because that's what it's about, Kenneth. 01:05:00.836 --> 01:05:02.638 We want to know who finishes first. 01:05:03.218 --> 01:05:04.759 That's why you watch the sport. 01:05:05.720 --> 01:05:08.602 And if you can't tell, it takes away all that excitement. 01:05:09.323 --> 01:05:12.605 You don't know whether to cheer, whether to yell to go faster. 01:05:13.526 --> 01:05:15.447 You have no idea what you're doing at that moment. 01:05:15.467 --> 01:05:19.010 Yeah, yeah. 01:05:20.503 --> 01:05:20.983 There's that. 01:05:21.384 --> 01:05:28.469 And then my other one is, I think they need to expand North American Europe back to 120 and 60. 01:05:29.710 --> 01:05:31.331 Cutting them down to 40 is bullshit. 01:05:32.171 --> 01:05:33.312 I'm with you on this one. 01:05:35.073 --> 01:05:43.640 The fact that you're expanding Masters way up, you're expanding teams way up, and now we're going to cut the semifinal athletes? 01:05:44.880 --> 01:05:45.761 Are you kidding me? 01:05:46.722 --> 01:05:46.882 Right. 01:05:48.772 --> 01:05:54.333 And it's been shown that games athletes would not have made semifinals under these rules. 01:05:55.233 --> 01:05:55.393 Yep. 01:05:57.654 --> 01:06:04.535 If you can't handle the capacity at one event, then you need to go to three in North America and two in Europe. 01:06:05.496 --> 01:06:05.676 Yep. 01:06:05.816 --> 01:06:07.956 But cutting them down is not the end. 01:06:07.996 --> 01:06:08.936 That is dumb. 01:06:11.497 --> 01:06:17.158 You are taking away the opportunity for athletes to grow and become competitive in the sport. 01:06:21.755 --> 01:06:27.179 And you're giving that opportunity to South America, Africa, Asia. 01:06:32.523 --> 01:06:32.983 Just dumb. 01:06:34.544 --> 01:06:35.085 Totally agree. 01:06:38.147 --> 01:06:40.148 So there we go. 01:06:40.509 --> 01:06:40.989 Sorry, Kenneth. 01:06:41.049 --> 01:06:45.272 I got a little, I didn't mean to yell at you about my finishes, but it's important to me. 01:06:46.853 --> 01:06:50.556 If I'm a spectator and I'm watching event, I want to know who the hell's done. 01:06:55.117 --> 01:06:56.758 Yeah. 01:06:57.238 --> 01:06:58.899 I don't think it needs to go back to its roots. 01:07:00.020 --> 01:07:01.761 I actually believe the exact opposite. 01:07:02.101 --> 01:07:15.088 I think we're stuck in our roots and we're trying to put band-aids and binding twine on a sport to keep it at its roots rather than let it grow and flourish in a way it needs to. 01:07:21.291 --> 01:07:23.472 So now we're going to do a couple of predictions. 01:07:25.114 --> 01:07:26.635 And we're already an hour seven into this. 01:07:26.655 --> 01:07:27.855 I know. 01:07:29.276 --> 01:07:29.536 Okay. 01:07:30.316 --> 01:07:31.317 So we got to move. 01:07:32.938 --> 01:07:35.999 So we're doing 2024 predictions. 01:07:37.620 --> 01:07:39.601 Who will be the athlete of the year in 2024? 01:07:39.681 --> 01:07:40.621 Pat Belner. 01:07:43.182 --> 01:07:50.906 Why will Pat be the athlete of the year? 01:07:51.066 --> 01:07:52.667 I just want him to win so bad. 01:07:52.687 --> 01:07:53.307 I know. 01:07:53.775 --> 01:07:55.896 I want to put everything into this year and win. 01:07:55.916 --> 01:07:55.956 So. 01:07:55.976 --> 01:08:00.138 I don't know. 01:08:03.319 --> 01:08:06.640 My athlete of the year is Emma Lawson. 01:08:06.660 --> 01:08:07.821 I love it. 01:08:09.261 --> 01:08:12.343 And I say it's Emma Lawson and hear me out. 01:08:13.463 --> 01:08:15.904 Cause we've all been talking about the Tia Laura battle. 01:08:18.105 --> 01:08:22.587 And quietly there's this young lady in Canada working her ass off. 01:08:24.912 --> 01:08:27.933 And she's going to shock the world and beat both of them. 01:08:29.214 --> 01:08:29.794 I would love that. 01:08:33.575 --> 01:08:40.678 And Emma Lawson will be your 2024 CrossFit Games champion and Athlete of the Year. 01:08:42.539 --> 01:08:44.179 It's the only reason I didn't pick her. 01:08:44.299 --> 01:08:49.902 I had to pick a different Canadian because you already had picked her. 01:08:50.822 --> 01:08:51.682 Yeah, we could have, yeah. 01:08:52.503 --> 01:08:53.583 I hope you're right because... 01:08:55.315 --> 01:09:09.600 I sadly am thinking it probably will be Tia again, but, and I don't, I mean, good for Tia if she comes back better than ever, but it's just done, it made this year so exciting to have a race. 01:09:10.160 --> 01:09:14.401 And I just don't want that to all come apart again if she just comes and totally dominates again. 01:09:14.421 --> 01:09:16.082 Yeah. 01:09:16.302 --> 01:09:17.122 So I hope you're right. 01:09:19.282 --> 01:09:20.003 Heard it here first. 01:09:21.203 --> 01:09:24.104 I was the first on the Jeff Adler bandwagon last year. 01:09:26.641 --> 01:09:26.841 All right. 01:09:27.401 --> 01:09:28.461 Most improved. 01:09:30.982 --> 01:09:31.582 Emma Carey. 01:09:33.303 --> 01:09:33.723 Wow. 01:09:34.983 --> 01:09:36.003 From eight. 01:09:37.484 --> 01:09:37.744 I know. 01:09:37.764 --> 01:09:40.104 I'm just curious what mayhem brings her. 01:09:40.124 --> 01:09:42.945 I mean, I think she's got the goods. 01:09:43.145 --> 01:09:43.565 We'll see. 01:09:46.266 --> 01:09:47.306 I say Justin Medeiros. 01:09:50.827 --> 01:09:51.307 I can see that. 01:09:51.387 --> 01:09:54.368 And my other pick is probably more of a heart pick. 01:09:56.624 --> 01:09:59.586 I had second Amanda Barnhart. 01:10:00.967 --> 01:10:08.672 Okay. 01:10:08.812 --> 01:10:11.894 Could have went Jason Hopper, but I told you I'm done with him. 01:10:11.914 --> 01:10:17.018 I had the same thought process. 01:10:18.879 --> 01:10:19.579 I need to see it. 01:10:22.722 --> 01:10:23.302 Rookie of the year. 01:10:26.465 --> 01:10:27.225 We have the same one. 01:10:29.366 --> 01:10:32.148 Yeah, Hatfield, Austin Hatfield. 01:10:35.029 --> 01:10:36.370 Austin Hatfield's who I have. 01:10:37.310 --> 01:10:38.791 We met him in Orlando. 01:10:41.032 --> 01:10:42.353 Almost made it last year. 01:10:43.934 --> 01:10:49.416 Then number one qualifier at Wadapalooza goes into Crash Crucible, wins that. 01:10:50.517 --> 01:10:53.018 I think it's going to be exciting to see where this guy goes. 01:10:53.038 --> 01:10:54.059 Mm-hmm. 01:10:57.168 --> 01:10:59.670 I didn't even think about people who didn't make the games. 01:10:59.690 --> 01:11:02.612 Yeah, like Brooke, like Saxon. 01:11:02.632 --> 01:11:05.474 Yeah. 01:11:06.094 --> 01:11:08.096 And they could be that too. 01:11:08.896 --> 01:11:16.262 But they were both injured, and I have a hard time looking at an injured athlete to making them an improved athlete. 01:11:16.762 --> 01:11:19.924 They just got hurt, and they just needed to mend and get better. 01:11:19.944 --> 01:11:25.248 Yeah, I would look at their previous placement as their improvement placement. 01:11:26.169 --> 01:11:26.369 Yeah. 01:11:26.449 --> 01:11:26.589 Yeah. 01:11:29.287 --> 01:11:31.469 He's really that good. 01:11:34.531 --> 01:11:36.752 I have to admit, Jamie's the one that pointed him out to me. 01:11:37.553 --> 01:11:40.555 In Orlando, he was every bit the good you said. 01:11:41.596 --> 01:11:43.437 He moves so well. 01:11:43.997 --> 01:11:48.740 He's like the way you see Colton move through thrusters, right? 01:11:49.621 --> 01:11:51.442 Because he's got shorter limbs. 01:11:52.303 --> 01:11:55.325 Austin's like that slightly tall, just slightly. 01:11:55.785 --> 01:11:58.347 He's got the advantage of having somewhat short limbs too. 01:11:59.175 --> 01:12:07.519 But I think it doesn't hamper him because he is slightly taller in some of the other things that Colton gets hurt in. 01:12:08.640 --> 01:12:11.662 So he's, I would say, slightly more well-rounded. 01:12:12.322 --> 01:12:13.723 But he moves really well. 01:12:13.843 --> 01:12:14.783 He's strong enough. 01:12:15.263 --> 01:12:17.405 I think he's good. 01:12:19.866 --> 01:12:23.268 So Andrew says, I think Dallin's going to be near the top next year. 01:12:23.488 --> 01:12:24.108 I hope so. 01:12:24.128 --> 01:12:26.930 But man, it's a stacked field. 01:12:27.330 --> 01:12:27.530 Like... 01:12:29.062 --> 01:12:37.024 When you look at Adler and Roman and Pat and Brent, like it's going to be tough and Madera's probably coming back. 01:12:38.884 --> 01:12:41.525 Like it's going to be, that's five people right there. 01:12:41.545 --> 01:12:42.445 Yeah. 01:12:43.245 --> 01:12:47.406 I don't know if he can break past fifth, sixth, honestly. 01:12:50.767 --> 01:12:57.849 Every time I think like Brent's done, like when we saw him in Pasadena, he was a different dude. 01:13:02.533 --> 01:13:02.873 I don't know. 01:13:03.333 --> 01:13:04.074 It's going to be interesting. 01:13:12.576 --> 01:13:14.156 Best comeback. 01:13:15.297 --> 01:13:16.557 Biggest comeback in my heart. 01:13:16.897 --> 01:13:17.857 Big time Bex. 01:13:19.698 --> 01:13:20.678 Bex Fusile. 01:13:20.698 --> 01:13:23.199 You guys are on a Bex name term. 01:13:28.540 --> 01:13:29.861 I hope she makes it back to the game. 01:13:30.761 --> 01:13:31.461 That girl works. 01:13:33.703 --> 01:13:40.265 And seeing her at Legends, backing one of her Masters athletes, live and in person, was a cool sight to see. 01:13:43.766 --> 01:13:44.366 Yeah, yeah. 01:13:46.526 --> 01:13:48.627 So then I have best competition of the year next year. 01:13:48.647 --> 01:13:53.108 Okay, this is going to be a surprise for you. 01:13:53.128 --> 01:13:57.129 I think it's going to be the Pitt Games. 01:14:00.626 --> 01:14:03.527 The pit teen CrossFit games. 01:14:04.028 --> 01:14:04.468 Correct. 01:14:06.849 --> 01:14:07.589 Why do you say that? 01:14:08.269 --> 01:14:15.633 I just, I, well, I'm excited to see what they do with their space and given some support with CrossFit. 01:14:16.173 --> 01:14:24.697 It's going to, I mean, I'm just hopeful for them that it, they get more like space and equipment and. 01:14:25.919 --> 01:14:27.860 Cause that's, I mean, all that stuff goes into it, right? 01:14:27.900 --> 01:14:30.962 Like the spectator experience is going to be key in that. 01:14:31.502 --> 01:14:35.085 So I'm willing to be wrong, but I'm hopeful that it. 01:14:36.145 --> 01:14:41.589 The cool thing is they have all that acreage to do cool events that nobody else is going to have that to do. 01:14:45.191 --> 01:14:46.852 So, okay. 01:14:46.872 --> 01:14:47.212 I hear you. 01:14:49.273 --> 01:14:53.336 I just took a wild stab at the dark and I went was a SoCal and 01:14:56.172 --> 01:15:12.082 on the beach in California, if they do something like fresh coast and get like that all to kind of ramp up like that in a big was a style that could be epic. 01:15:14.063 --> 01:15:19.907 That was almost my pick fresh coast, but it needs, it needs a little bit more as well. 01:15:20.768 --> 01:15:23.009 So, so, and yeah, 01:15:24.725 --> 01:15:36.291 With semis being reduced to 40-40, there's going to be more people that don't even make it to semis that can train for Wazza SoCal. 01:15:37.152 --> 01:15:37.332 Yeah. 01:15:37.692 --> 01:15:39.113 And that could be their big event. 01:15:42.174 --> 01:15:44.456 So that's why I went with that. 01:15:46.877 --> 01:15:47.177 All right. 01:15:47.958 --> 01:15:50.899 Best teen athlete of the year next year. 01:15:51.860 --> 01:15:52.360 I don't know. 01:15:52.380 --> 01:15:53.901 I need to do more research. 01:15:53.921 --> 01:15:54.161 It's 01:15:55.171 --> 01:15:56.212 Your pick was good. 01:15:57.212 --> 01:15:57.813 I defaulted. 01:15:58.813 --> 01:16:04.597 I went with Maria Granizo, teen girl, dominated 14, 15-year-old from Guatemala. 01:16:05.097 --> 01:16:09.059 She competes in the North America East. 01:16:09.660 --> 01:16:13.622 She totally crushed the 14, 15-year-old division. 01:16:14.443 --> 01:16:24.549 And I think she's going to be able to make the jump to 16, 17 and is the next in a line to move into that teen girl kind of competition. 01:16:29.207 --> 01:16:31.188 Then we have Best Masters Athlete of the Year. 01:16:35.111 --> 01:16:35.351 Yep. 01:16:37.152 --> 01:16:38.033 Jamie Latimer. 01:16:38.353 --> 01:16:39.034 Did you skip? 01:16:39.054 --> 01:16:40.195 No, I did not pick myself. 01:16:40.395 --> 01:16:41.195 Did you skip some? 01:16:41.215 --> 01:16:42.676 This is not the order I have on my sheet. 01:16:44.117 --> 01:16:47.800 Did you do Personality of the Year already? 01:16:48.660 --> 01:16:49.461 Not for next year. 01:16:49.521 --> 01:16:50.602 I didn't do that for next year. 01:16:51.482 --> 01:16:52.163 Yeah, you did. 01:16:52.203 --> 01:16:53.043 You had that in your list. 01:16:53.063 --> 01:16:53.944 I did not. 01:17:00.427 --> 01:17:00.787 I didn't. 01:17:02.728 --> 01:17:03.468 I swear you did. 01:17:05.089 --> 01:17:06.870 Okay. 01:17:08.130 --> 01:17:11.511 For Masters, I have Jen Ryan. 01:17:14.373 --> 01:17:16.033 Do we know if she's going to compete next year? 01:17:17.214 --> 01:17:18.574 I'm pretty sure she's going to. 01:17:19.355 --> 01:17:20.175 I guess we're going to see. 01:17:20.755 --> 01:17:22.296 She told me at the game she was done. 01:17:23.316 --> 01:17:23.956 You think so? 01:17:25.497 --> 01:17:27.778 I asked her at Masters and Legends. 01:17:29.304 --> 01:17:30.465 She wouldn't stay on camera. 01:17:30.485 --> 01:17:33.888 I don't think she could stay away. 01:17:39.292 --> 01:17:44.416 She gave me the... So Jen... Kenneth's talking about you giving me the look like his wife gives him. 01:17:45.898 --> 01:17:52.383 But Jen Ryan gave me the look that made me think she's going to try to go team again. 01:17:53.584 --> 01:17:57.067 So that would be my only... And she's done a couple team things. 01:17:57.487 --> 01:17:58.468 That is my... 01:18:00.476 --> 01:18:26.384 one concern with that pick um and i'm in in that aspect you know like i'm trying to think of like a 35 39 male that like could step in like i don't know like a pan check or i don't know if sam's gonna be there if he's gonna pull the i need to do the indie route um because like i said i need i want somebody who's gonna show up at not just the games 01:18:26.969 --> 01:18:28.350 somebody who's going to be an advocate. 01:18:28.390 --> 01:18:39.635 They're going to show up at MFC and then either do... I mean, at this point, I don't expect people to do Legends and Legends games. 01:18:39.655 --> 01:18:40.656 I would probably just do one. 01:18:41.476 --> 01:18:47.559 But I think MFC is an important one to try to show up to if they can figure out how to pay athletes to get there. 01:18:48.359 --> 01:18:50.941 And like, Wadapalooza, Master's side. 01:18:51.061 --> 01:18:53.602 I just think more appearances... 01:18:54.269 --> 01:18:56.931 and coverage of these like bigger name athletes is important. 01:18:56.991 --> 01:18:59.232 And that, I mean, that's why grub for me is, is huge. 01:19:04.315 --> 01:19:10.079 So I said on this one, the safe bet would be to take Cheryl Brost. 01:19:13.020 --> 01:19:14.181 The woman is always there. 01:19:15.182 --> 01:19:16.362 She's always on the podium. 01:19:17.463 --> 01:19:21.345 She's won it like four or five times, but she's been there like since 2012. 01:19:21.405 --> 01:19:21.545 Yeah. 01:19:25.356 --> 01:19:30.239 that would be the safe bet under the criteria of going to multiple events. 01:19:31.639 --> 01:19:32.340 I would say Rudy. 01:19:33.400 --> 01:19:35.681 I think this is the year that Rudy goes three in a row. 01:19:36.842 --> 01:19:39.083 He's going to water Palooza in January. 01:19:41.204 --> 01:19:53.671 He's going to, he's going to do one of the other events and he's going to, this is taking him from great athlete to superstar. 01:19:55.373 --> 01:19:55.893 Totally agree. 01:19:57.454 --> 01:20:04.216 My other person that I would pick, but I don't think she goes to other events would be that Susan Clark. 01:20:06.037 --> 01:20:07.177 Cause man, she's got a streak. 01:20:09.498 --> 01:20:10.278 She's awesome too. 01:20:10.558 --> 01:20:22.042 And she was a, she was one of my picks, but it wasn't post workout, but one of my favorite interviews talking with her after the, her metal at the games was I loved. 01:20:26.994 --> 01:20:30.076 Yeah, Kenneth, the tier sponsorship is good. 01:20:31.017 --> 01:20:32.618 The podium sponsorship is great. 01:20:34.900 --> 01:20:35.020 Yeah. 01:20:36.000 --> 01:20:41.885 Just from knowing a little detail, I'm telling you, tier's good, podium, great. 01:20:45.888 --> 01:20:47.489 So, all right. 01:20:47.929 --> 01:20:49.730 So that is our predictions for next year. 01:20:53.093 --> 01:20:54.834 Any resolutions going into the new year? 01:20:57.639 --> 01:20:59.980 Gosh, I haven't even, no. 01:21:00.000 --> 01:21:05.202 I still got to do accounting and books for the gym. 01:21:05.322 --> 01:21:06.062 I'm a mess. 01:21:06.122 --> 01:21:06.503 I'm behind. 01:21:06.523 --> 01:21:11.445 I haven't catch up on things. 01:21:13.005 --> 01:21:23.309 So my resolution is one, I've got to do Murph between semis and the games. 01:21:23.329 --> 01:21:24.610 Mm-hmm. 01:21:25.256 --> 01:21:35.126 But I'm going to make this an announcement, is we no longer have a title sponsor for the Clydesdale Media. 01:21:37.649 --> 01:21:47.759 We got word a couple weeks ago that C4 was making cuts, and they cut 85% of all influencers, and we were one of those 85%. 01:21:49.870 --> 01:21:54.193 So we no longer have a title sponsor and we are on the hunt. 01:21:55.374 --> 01:22:03.299 And my resolution is got to get something in the works so that we can go out and give you the coverage you guys deserve. 01:22:04.420 --> 01:22:08.743 Because without that backing, we will not have the funds to be able to go to events. 01:22:10.393 --> 01:22:11.513 like we did this past year. 01:22:12.634 --> 01:22:16.375 So my big resolution is find some sponsors. 01:22:17.755 --> 01:22:24.337 And if it's not just one, maybe each show we do a smaller sponsor or whatever it is. 01:22:27.717 --> 01:22:37.680 But we actually, what's crazy is we're blessed enough that we've been around long enough that there have been people interested in us, but because of conflict of interest with C4, we could not bring on. 01:22:39.045 --> 01:22:47.149 So we're hoping that we can reach out to them, rekindle those talks, and get something in line fairly quickly. 01:22:47.990 --> 01:22:50.671 It's just tough at the holidays because nobody's around. 01:22:51.352 --> 01:22:55.114 Nobody wants to talk and all that. 01:22:55.194 --> 01:22:57.135 But we'll try to figure something out. 01:22:59.308 --> 01:23:16.135 with between now but just so you guys know when we come back next week there will be no c4 on the promos no c4 on the backgrounds anything like that and that is why because they have made drastic cuts for 2024 so 01:23:24.565 --> 01:23:34.636 The only other thing I really wanted to talk about was a couple weeks ago, I think it was last week, Spin came up with an idea of eliminating online qualifiers. 01:23:37.379 --> 01:23:38.720 And that really piqued my interest. 01:23:39.481 --> 01:23:46.429 And so I wanted to just dive into it with you, Jamie, because I think one of the fallacies is it doesn't cover masters. 01:23:47.566 --> 01:23:47.806 Right. 01:23:48.346 --> 01:23:51.287 Everybody thinks just elites. 01:23:51.828 --> 01:23:54.649 So how can we, how can we kind of do that? 01:23:56.309 --> 01:23:58.250 So his thing is use worldwide rankings. 01:23:59.110 --> 01:23:59.850 I pray to God. 01:23:59.910 --> 01:24:05.232 He means like a new version of worldwide rankings and not the thing that CrossFit is using. 01:24:05.813 --> 01:24:06.233 Yeah. 01:24:07.513 --> 01:24:14.316 And so if there was a worldwide ranking and like this event is taking 30 people and 01:24:16.215 --> 01:24:20.844 All these people sign up and they take the top 30 that are in the worldwide rankings. 01:24:24.211 --> 01:24:24.531 Okay. 01:24:28.351 --> 01:24:29.152 Lower tiers. 01:24:30.133 --> 01:24:53.435 And then, and he's saying that, um, you would earn tiers and up through, through what I've been calling like the mid majors that you would actually earn points going to like Metcon rush crash, crucible fittest on the coast, all that kind of stuff and earn points to kind of get moved up in that leaderboard, um, worldwide ranking. 01:24:57.546 --> 01:25:05.889 So I think it's the genesis of a really good idea that probably needs like a little bit of thought. 01:25:09.491 --> 01:25:09.971 Yeah. 01:25:11.511 --> 01:25:11.651 Yeah. 01:25:11.671 --> 01:25:23.316 It does sound a bit like sanctionals and it sounds like, but once you hit that here, do you need to do like the Dubai qualifier and the blah, blah, blah. 01:25:27.847 --> 01:25:52.130 because a lot of like rogue like people are just coming off like a game season and if you weren't in the top 20 and you want to go to rogue you got to gear up and do these qualifiers i know they weren't easy yeah i know it's tough because i the qualifiers suck and i get it they're 01:25:53.231 --> 01:26:00.335 it would be nice to get away from these, but I also don't want to see the same top 30 people just get to all these events. 01:26:00.615 --> 01:26:04.277 So I, well, the same 30 wouldn't want to go to every event. 01:26:05.678 --> 01:26:05.878 Yes. 01:26:05.898 --> 01:26:07.119 It sounds like the PGA to me. 01:26:07.679 --> 01:26:07.859 Yeah. 01:26:10.320 --> 01:26:18.285 Like you basically earn your card and you, once you're in that elite tier, you just go by the worldwide wide rankings. 01:26:18.785 --> 01:26:18.965 And what, 01:26:22.173 --> 01:26:25.616 but there's gotta be a way for those lower tiers to work their way up and in. 01:26:26.697 --> 01:26:27.097 Yeah. 01:26:28.878 --> 01:26:30.780 And not all comps are created equal. 01:26:30.820 --> 01:26:34.843 Like how, man, I see so many issues with that. 01:26:36.024 --> 01:26:41.868 Again, Genesis of an idea that I think just needs some time to be worked on. 01:26:43.950 --> 01:26:47.913 I would be very curious to hear more thoughts. 01:26:49.874 --> 01:26:50.935 Well, and like how many, 01:26:54.888 --> 01:26:55.449 You'd have to. 01:26:56.029 --> 01:27:10.257 So like if Europe has 37 mid majors and North America East has 27 and North America West has 18, that's not fair either. 01:27:11.057 --> 01:27:18.862 So it's almost like you have to pick a number and say, these are the ones that are point qualifiers and, 01:27:22.107 --> 01:27:22.307 Right. 01:27:22.447 --> 01:27:25.268 But again, I think it's a genesis of a good idea. 01:27:27.969 --> 01:27:29.530 It's just, it needs a lot of work. 01:27:34.231 --> 01:27:35.451 And Andrew makes a point. 01:27:37.212 --> 01:27:43.434 These point qualifiers hopefully would pay money and you could actually have a waste of making some money along the way. 01:27:45.675 --> 01:27:46.575 Yes, that would be ideal. 01:27:49.960 --> 01:27:54.524 But there'd have to be enough in your region to make it viable. 01:27:59.088 --> 01:27:59.348 Yeah. 01:27:59.388 --> 01:28:11.358 Cause you can't make, I mean, you can make whatever, but like it becomes, again, this becomes a, a halves versus the halves. 01:28:11.398 --> 01:28:18.944 Not like if it really isn't, there isn't like five, if becomes five that they choose. 01:28:19.318 --> 01:28:26.600 and there aren't really five accessible in my area, it just becomes cross-prohibitive. 01:28:26.640 --> 01:28:36.624 And then it's someone else who doesn't have to work and has backing and can get to all these events just gets a spot just because I can't make it. 01:28:39.304 --> 01:28:41.085 So let me ask you this. 01:28:43.426 --> 01:28:46.867 Me as a media person, what really dictates... 01:28:48.849 --> 01:29:15.703 my funding is can i drive to it or not is that the way an athlete looks at it so i prefer yeah i prefer to be able to drive to the events um like i think that's why mfc is probably in my mind one of the greatest because i can pack a suitcase and food and whatever i want and drive there and not be 01:29:16.718 --> 01:29:22.562 It's not a 12-hour drive like it was to go to 14 or whatever it was to go to Mayhem last year. 01:29:24.043 --> 01:29:30.108 That I'm hurting when I get out of the car because I sat in a car for 14 straight hours. 01:29:32.950 --> 01:29:39.455 Or I'm hurting because I sat and cramped in a plane for five straight hours to get to California. 01:29:42.017 --> 01:29:45.239 And I have to limit what I can pack to go to somewhere in California. 01:29:45.319 --> 01:29:46.300 And those flights aren't cheap. 01:29:47.658 --> 01:29:56.143 Um, so yeah, driving is quite honestly, like if it's six hours or less, I'd say like that makes it a lot more reasonable. 01:29:58.245 --> 01:29:58.445 Yeah. 01:29:59.205 --> 01:30:01.147 So Madison for us was eight hours. 01:30:01.987 --> 01:30:03.428 Like to me, that's doable. 01:30:04.489 --> 01:30:05.189 That's pushing it. 01:30:06.790 --> 01:30:13.014 Like I could get to Matt, I could get up early at 5am, get to Madison and still be able to do some stuff that day. 01:30:15.856 --> 01:30:18.337 As a media person, I'm not talking as an athlete. 01:30:19.117 --> 01:30:24.178 So I'm just trying to understand the difference between media and athlete. 01:30:27.619 --> 01:30:29.460 Because in a car, I can get out, I can stretch. 01:30:30.880 --> 01:30:34.141 Because I'm going to have to get gas, I'm going to have to stop anyway, right? 01:30:34.161 --> 01:30:39.683 And it just, there's way less stress than a flight. 01:30:39.703 --> 01:30:39.803 Right. 01:30:41.360 --> 01:30:42.361 Sure, for sure. 01:30:42.501 --> 01:30:51.608 But when you start approaching that eight plus hours and then you are stopping to to break and you're tired. 01:30:53.509 --> 01:30:58.312 Still, I mean, even if you got out and stretch stuff, you're just it's that's a long day. 01:30:58.833 --> 01:31:00.414 And if I woke up at 5 a.m. 01:31:00.574 --> 01:31:03.396 to try to make that drive, I'm already tired. 01:31:03.456 --> 01:31:06.398 So it's like it's like a waste of an entire day. 01:31:07.179 --> 01:31:08.740 It truly is a full day just gone. 01:31:11.819 --> 01:31:12.039 Yeah. 01:31:12.059 --> 01:31:12.139 Yeah. 01:31:13.220 --> 01:31:18.042 Well, like Kenneth says, you know, flights can be canceled, delayed, lose your luggage. 01:31:18.902 --> 01:31:23.264 Last year to Wadapalooza, it, I was delayed 12 hours. 01:31:25.706 --> 01:31:32.129 And instead of my direct flight from Columbus to Miami, I had to go to Minnesota and then fly to Miami. 01:31:33.369 --> 01:31:37.031 And there were people because that's when like everything went down across the country. 01:31:38.217 --> 01:31:44.878 there were people that were delayed two days when I was there. 01:31:45.098 --> 01:31:45.278 Yeah. 01:31:45.718 --> 01:31:46.619 That's always my fear. 01:31:46.919 --> 01:31:49.219 Sign up for one of these comps and then not even make it. 01:31:50.939 --> 01:31:56.720 Cause I talked to Tommy Marquez and he had just gotten there and he was due in like two days before. 01:31:56.740 --> 01:31:57.921 Yeah. 01:32:01.841 --> 01:32:01.981 Yeah. 01:32:02.021 --> 01:32:02.642 It was crazy. 01:32:04.782 --> 01:32:04.942 So 01:32:07.216 --> 01:32:08.457 I just wanted to throw that out there. 01:32:08.477 --> 01:32:10.938 I also had on here, Roman goes off. 01:32:11.818 --> 01:32:12.879 I think that story's old. 01:32:14.740 --> 01:32:19.703 The only thing I wanted to say about that is I don't think the translation's wrong. 01:32:21.844 --> 01:32:23.405 The Roman-Russian interview. 01:32:23.425 --> 01:32:25.326 I don't think the AI is wrong. 01:32:25.346 --> 01:32:26.446 Okay. 01:32:27.127 --> 01:32:28.747 But I don't think Rosa's an agent. 01:32:30.348 --> 01:32:31.589 If you've ever met Rosa... 01:32:33.996 --> 01:32:39.622 I think she just cares deeply for Roman as a friend and wants to protect him. 01:32:39.642 --> 01:32:41.264 I could see that. 01:32:41.664 --> 01:32:41.825 Yeah. 01:32:42.185 --> 01:32:46.430 I don't think that she's an agent trying to manipulate what he says. 01:32:46.450 --> 01:32:50.154 I think she's just a friend trying to protect her friend. 01:32:50.854 --> 01:32:51.175 Agreed. 01:32:54.859 --> 01:32:54.979 So... 01:32:57.564 --> 01:32:58.625 Because I've met Rosa. 01:32:58.665 --> 01:33:03.909 We had her on our show before Roman got in the country when she was trying to help him get here. 01:33:03.930 --> 01:33:11.436 I just wanted to say that. 01:33:13.778 --> 01:33:16.400 But that Roman stuff was interesting. 01:33:16.880 --> 01:33:18.481 Most of it I was okay with. 01:33:18.902 --> 01:33:21.524 The Guy stuff I thought was over the line. 01:33:22.165 --> 01:33:24.887 But I think that's pretty much what everybody's been saying. 01:33:25.908 --> 01:33:26.088 So 01:33:28.756 --> 01:33:45.218 especially if he's a teammate in your camp you can't be doing that stuff roman who's the real trash talker roman or jeff roman there you go that said that months ago 01:33:49.767 --> 01:33:51.949 Well, guys, thank you so much for a great 2023. 01:33:52.730 --> 01:33:56.694 Hope you had fun going down memory lane with us a little bit. 01:33:57.695 --> 01:33:58.496 We are looking forward to 2024. 01:33:58.636 --> 01:34:01.058 It's going to be a new year for us. 01:34:01.579 --> 01:34:05.122 We're going to be doing some new things, hopefully with some new sponsors. 01:34:07.304 --> 01:34:12.648 We want to continue to bring you the best possible coverage we can for everything we go do. 01:34:13.508 --> 01:34:15.049 And I think we're getting to there. 01:34:15.530 --> 01:34:17.791 We're getting better and better every year we do this. 01:34:18.712 --> 01:34:24.115 And, you know, I didn't know Jamie personally before 2023. 01:34:24.976 --> 01:34:28.138 And to bring her on this year, it's been a great addition to the team. 01:34:28.158 --> 01:34:28.218 She... 01:34:30.925 --> 01:34:38.829 It has become my confidant, my person I bitch to, and it makes these shows really fun. 01:34:39.289 --> 01:34:42.551 And I am so blessed to have her and so glad you joined the team this year. 01:34:43.391 --> 01:34:43.852 Thank you. 01:34:43.892 --> 01:34:44.692 Thanks for having me. 01:34:44.972 --> 01:34:45.532 I feel the same. 01:34:46.653 --> 01:34:51.896 With that, we wish you the best 2024 possible. 01:34:52.676 --> 01:34:54.437 We will see you guys next week. 01:34:56.000 --> 01:34:57.901 after I turn 54 on Monday. 01:34:58.581 -->

01:35:32.658 --> 01:35:35.279 If you didn't see Tony Turski today, go check that out. 01:35:36.340 --> 01:35:41.763 With that, we'll see everybody tomorrow or next week on Thursday Night CrossFit Talk. 01:35:43.284 --> 01:35:44.104 Goodbye, everybody.
