but what is going on?
Everybody, welcome.
live from san jose california it's the
clydesdale it's breakfast with the
clydesdale here hopefully you guys are
having brunch or lunch or whatever is
going on around the world uh just wanted
to come in do a quick show this
morning talk about what i saw yesterday um
spent all my day at
the Masters CrossFit Games.
I'm going to talk about that a little
bit.
I ran into some people while I was
there,
got some intel as to how day one
of the Open Division went for some
athletes.
So we'll talk about that.
And it's good to see everybody,
Jody and Nicole and Seema and Tessa.
I...
I think I want to start by saying
that I know I'm really hard on Bob
and Joe,
but I also know that they're up against
a lot with the way the format, uh,
of the games is now and what they
have to do and what they're required to
do.
And, um,
and what they're not allowed to do.
I will say like I was really critical
of the programming coming in.
I still think some of it could have
been better.
That final event yesterday was really fun
to watch.
Watching these athletes who are on
the older side of things.
These are not the open elite athletes do
DT at a speed that I could only
dream of.
Some of the high end athletes were
finishing that they had intervals to do
it.
I think they were four minute intervals
with one minute rest.
and they had to do an echo bike
buy-in every single round might have been
five minutes but the echo bike took a
good chunk of that first minute minute and
a half and then they would run out
and do dt and and they were getting
into the fourth round of dt which is
five rounds
some finished the fourth round in that
first window i i was aghast they were
so freaking good um it was a fun
way to watch it because you were looking
for them to see how many they they
did great storytelling by you had to
advance the floor the floor every round um
And you were rooting for people to get
through as many rounds as possible in that
first round.
So they wouldn't have to go back and
do the echo bike just to get back
into the thing.
It was really, really fun to watch.
And, you know,
I'm a bit partial to my girl, Carolyn.
She came off the echo bike like last
in the first round.
And...
She made up so much ground on the
barbell cycling.
Her deadlifts are insane.
And I think she was the only female
in her heat that went straight from the
hang cleans to the push jerks.
It was...
It was a sight to behold.
It really was.
Everybody was breaking with one hand clean
to go,
because then you have to hand clean and
go to the shouldered overhead or whatever
you want to call that.
And she, holy shit,
like just right into it.
She caught up to everybody.
I think only one person finished ahead of
her.
And on the first,
she finished it in two rounds and you
were allowed three.
And she came off the echo bike last
and I think both rounds and still ended
up finishing second overall in the event
or second in her heat,
which was good enough for her when she
won going away.
Everybody that was close to her she beat.
And so now the Sunday night CrossFit show
has a champion on its roster.
which is really, really freaking cool.
And the medal looks awesome.
If you didn't see her post yesterday,
it looks awesome.
So the rounds were actually descending.
Thanks, Vicky.
Five, four, three-minute rounds,
decreasing Echo Cows, Max DT, great event.
It really was.
It was a fun way to end the
Masters games.
And it really filled up.
The convention center was really full for
that.
The vibes were awesome.
Some of the athletes from,
or some of the coaches and the athletes
from the elite division,
the adaptives had showed up.
They were all in there.
The stands were pretty full for that DT
workout yesterday,
and it was probably two,
three deep the entire way around the floor
on the gate.
So great crowd yesterday.
Really cool to see all that and great
stuff.
NAI, did Jamie get all stitched up?
I saw she was bleeding.
So, uh, Jamie got hurt on event one.
Uh,
we talked about that yesterday running
with the med ball.
She couldn't see and ran into a lamp
post, um,
as she was making the final turn into,
uh, the finish, um,
the men and women ran together.
The men were there and they,
and there was two men battling.
They kind of pushed Jamie.
I don't want to make it sound malicious.
Three people trying to get through one
spot.
Jamie got pushed to the inside and whacked
her elbow on a lamppost,
which cut her open.
It was a pretty deep cut.
But thankfully, Shanna Bunce,
who is in our chat all the time,
former games champion –
super glued her shut i'll say that how's
that at ai um so super glued her
shut got her some antibiotics um i haven't
checked with her with her today to see
how she's doing um but she made it
through the weekend finished eleventh
overall um
Probably would have been top ten.
She missed her last rep of DT,
had to redo it.
So, yeah.
Vicky says, how's Shanna doing?
Is she feeling better?
According to Shanna,
the injury she sustained is going to take
a few months of rest.
She named what it was in a medical
terminology that I do not comprehend or
probably couldn't even say correctly.
But she's still going to hang out all
weekend.
Sorry again yesterday.
So that was fun.
So master's done now teams and elite and
teens and adaptive.
So the teens and adaptive take over the
convention center where the masters were,
and now the elite start this morning at
the SAP center.
So my goal is to, well,
I'm gonna make that goal,
but I'm gonna be up there for the
opening ceremonies,
and then I'll be at the SAP center
most of the day.
So that's the plan for today.
Uh, Jenny, so sorry.
I don't have my glasses on.
I agree.
Yesterday was really fun to watch fit
people.
Good form too.
Yeah.
I will say this is the one drawback
I will say about the final event.
I am done with hang cleans being a
part of competition.
The,
the judging differences from one lane to
another.
And the lack of extension on some of
that.
I mean, I've done them.
I've done them.
And I'm probably questionable at times
when you're moving so fast with the hang
power clean.
But, man,
I saw some people never extend their knees
and just bounce in that bar as fast
as they could go.
But, yeah.
Yeah.
Jody, how's your back?
So back is better today.
I felt something pop last night and I
think it went back in to where I
want it.
Now it's just a little sore,
but I'm able to move around and full
functioning today.
So yeah, back's good.
Way better than yesterday.
So yeah.
Daniel, of course, the smartest,
most handsome man in the chat,
alive while I'm working out,
how am I supposed to function?
I don't know, Daniel,
you have to figure it out.
What else do I have?
So much fun stuff happened yesterday on
the floor
But what was really cool is Kristen Clever
showed up to support a friend,
Becca Voigt.
She was in the crowd.
Fee Sagafi was there.
Got to chat with them.
It was really,
really fun to see the people come over
and support the Masters.
I'm sure Fee was there to support the
Panchecks and Scott.
and all of that, so she was there.
Trish, morning.
I think I left my thing in your
coffee maker.
Can you check?
That's why you shouldn't rush out, Trish.
You shouldn't rush out.
Anyway.
That's what happened yesterday.
I really hate the two floors.
I'm going to say that again.
I wish there was a way to stagger
it.
I talked with Larry Young yesterday a lot.
He had a proposal that one just starts
three minutes after the other so you can
see the finishes of both.
I was like,
why don't we just stagger the heat?
So the top level,
so you don't have Carolyn Prevost,
Marissa Flowers,
Mackenzie Riley going at the same time as
Noah Olson, Travis Mayer, Scott Pancheck,
and trying to watch both floors at the
same time.
It was a virtual impossibility.
And then you have to pick one or
the other.
And it's just crazy.
Um, Tessa, I,
I really don't even know what time it
is on central time right now.
What is it?
Seven, thirty eight, thirty nine,
thirty nine, thirty.
Um, so nine fifteen is opening ceremonies.
Um,
Vicky told me this morning they're not
airing that or covering that.
Um,
so I think right after opening ceremonies,
they are moving into the elite division.
immediately following the opening
ceremonies so uh the masters coverage was
an even bigger joke than the individuals
um i didn't watch a lot of the
masters coverage but i'm going to tell you
this daniel if you're running two heats at
the same time in on opposite ends of
the floor i i don't think we are
putting
the broadcasters in the right place.
I don't know how they pull that off.
Nicole,
Flo's live stream is frustrating trying to
watch Declan,
but they are interviewing a different
athlete,
so doing waterfall for their event one.
Don't blame Flo.
Flo is not doing the broadcasting.
They're just housing the broadcast on
their channel.
From my understanding,
it is still the same old broadcast that
has always done the games.
Hamilton Roads.
Now,
my guess is their best are at the
elite individuals.
And I am betting that, well,
I watched some of that.
It was atrocious as well.
But don't blame Flo for that.
Flo is just housing it.
They should have run single heats at least
for the last event,
so every athlete gets a chance to be
spotlighted.
I know they were under time.
Especially with the Masters,
there's so many heats with so many
divisions.
It's really hard to get everything in in
the amount of time, really hard.
Have they ever scheduled like that before?
I know that Legends has been doing this
double floor thing for a while,
but I don't know what all that means.
Look who's with me.
Monster Games.
What's up, y'all?
What's going on, man?
I'm trying to get somewhere where I can
hear.
It's loud as shit now.
Give me a thumbs up when you get
there.
I'm going to mute you until you get
there.
Hamilton sent their C team that's never
seen CrossFit, apparently.
Apparently.
Maybe they're frustrated they didn't get
the full broadcast right, so they're...
Unmute Corey here.
Thanks, sir.
Yeah, this is way better.
I went outside.
So, do you have anything done today?
Yeah,
I just did the everybody hates Hefner
sandbag biker monstrosity.
Not good.
Not good.
No, the sandbags were a little floppy.
Which is not a horrible deal, but like
I normally,
I'll get my hands underneath it,
like rock to one side,
rock to the other side.
And by that time on the third one,
like my fingers kind of touch,
but when they're sloppy like that,
it's kind of,
it can be hard to get a good
hold to it before I get it up
and get it over the thing.
So like it fell out of my hand
about three, four times.
And, uh, yeah, I mean, in all honesty,
I was having problems like kind of getting
myself like, okay, let's go, you know,
getting ready or whatnot,
which is not usually the case.
I'm usually like,
Wound up like at eight o'clock before the
first one.
But I'm not.
It's not terrible.
So got that one done.
I was not looking forward to that one,
but it's over with.
I got the high jump.
No, you good.
I got the high jump and the jump
here in a little bit.
I say high jump, the vertical leap.
And the broad jump here in about an
hour or so.
I get right at eleven o'clock.
Then we'll go grab some lunch.
And then come back and do the thruster
sandbag carry one and finish off tonight
with the max bar muscle-ups in two
minutes.
So with the vertical,
did the tool low enough for you to,
like, measure on that?
Or did they have to give you a
step stool?
So from what – I'm going to find
out in a little bit.
From what Jason was saying last night at
athlete briefing,
there's a laser involved.
So I think you like you gotta jump
like it or camera.
Maybe that like videos you from standing
and then videos where your feet end up
for the for the high jump for the
vertical.
I've absolutely no idea about to go watch
somebody do it.
I just wanted to come hop in for
a minute.
How's it going over there?
Oh good, uh,
just getting ready to head over to the
SAP Center.
Caroline of course won the gold.
I'm sure you saw that.
Let's go.
No,
I went to bed fairly early last night.
I watched the I watched the last heat.
Excuse me of the the forty five forty
nine just to watch my people.
And then I had to get to sleep.
I've been up since three thirty in the
morning.
The last I saw when he had flashed
the leaderboard up because I haven't
really been on social media a whole lot
was Jamie was in like ninth or eighth
place was the last thing I saw.
and then they had to say it again
she finished eleventh let's go um and then
like i said i didn't get a chance
to see so carolyn won you did let's
go that's awesome dude yeah if you want
to see someone murder dt watch yeah dude
i was watching uh some of the older
guys age groups go because i was kind
of in and out and that looked brutal
Jeez, and that looked absolutely boo.
Carolyn was last off the Echo bike and
was in the final round of DT when
she had to go back to the second
round.
Oh, my God.
The five-minute interval with the Echo
bike kept by in was in the final
round of DT.
In the first?
In the first interval.
That's amazing.
Her deadlifts are so fast.
Yeah, well, I mean, that's what she does,
right?
Yeah.
That's awesome, dude.
Good for her, man.
Proud of her.
That's awesome.
Now I saw Grub won seven in a
row.
Yeah.
He won going away.
Rudy won.
I saw Rudy won.
Denise Moore took second.
Oh, man.
But she was up against Susan Clark,
who only competes every other year.
Yeah.
Susan Clark, perfect six under points.
No kidding.
No kidding.
I mean, maybe she's on to something.
She just come every other year and just
clean up.
Yeah, she wins every other year.
Like, she comes, wins every other year.
So she's basically splitting it with
Denise.
Well, yeah, now.
Yeah,
they have like a gentlewoman's agreement.
Who else for our chat?
Lito was top five, I think.
Lito's fit, dude.
She was right in the top five area
going into that last event.
She might have been fourth going into the
last event.
Beautiful thing.
I met Autistic Hiller.
Okay.
From the chat.
Met him last night.
Came and introduced himself.
I got a lot of this,
a couple of these before.
Corey?
Why?
Because they were surprised you weren't
black?
They were surprised I wasn't black.
That was the main thing.
Got a couple of that.
I met Jason Bourne.
Nice.
He is some version of Hispanic,
as far as I can tell,
which I was not expecting.
um kept calling me cowboy while i was
on the floor just now which was good
because i needed to laugh because i was
in i was in a lot of pain
between the bike and that uh between the
sandbag and that biker um cool ass dude
uh brian friend like i tell you brian
friend recognized me last night that was
that was a fun interaction he looked over
at me and went cory and i went
hi brian
Yes.
So I hung out with Wayne Short yesterday.
Oh, nice.
And Larry Young.
Love me some Larry Young.
I'll tell you what, Larry Young,
I always give him shit about his open
remarks.
And I gave him more shit yesterday.
Well, yeah.
He's such a good dude, man.
Like he really, really is.
There are a lot of people out here.
Fran called from behind that first workout
that we just did.
Hey, did you just do the sandbag bike?
Yeah, I got the same cough.
Yeah.
Dude, it's so crazy, man.
You got to do a buy-in of sandbag
cleans every single time and then just max
calories on the biker afterwards.
Yes, thank you.
Yeah, so I got a little fran lung.
This lady right here,
I heard her coughing.
That's why I just asked her.
I was like, you got a...
Did you feel like the sandbags were like
real floppy?
Yeah, a hundred percent.
I was having problems getting my hands
underneath it.
Yeah,
and then we got an actual sprint this
afternoon with basically sandbag fran.
So for us, it's fifteen, twelve,
nine thrusters and then a sixty foot
sandbag carry in between.
Nice.
I'm not sure if I would call it
nice, but it's a thing.
Larry Young's asking you, Corey,
does Grubb get eight?
I hope not.
And it's not that I want him to
lose.
I want somebody else to win.
I was cheering for Mike Kern,
like screaming for Mike to just beat him
and just knock it out of his hands,
man.
I'm just...
It's no denying the dude is great at
what he does, a hundred percent,
but I just want somebody to beat him.
I really, really do.
CrossFit wants to tell you quit
complaining.
Tenfold.
I'm going to try.
No promises.
No promises.
You ought to hear all the complaints over
here.
You think y'all got complaints anywhere
else.
Over here,
it's a mixture of this is really cool
and this kind of sucks.
You're never going to please.
It's the Masters community.
You're never going to please a hundred
percent of them.
No, dude.
That's all I'm hanging out with really and
truly is all the Masters.
I mean,
I got some friends of mine that are
doing team and elite and some that are
doing either RX or immediate,
intermediate and visual.
But I mean,
mostly we all kind of hang out together.
And I mean, you know, it's bitching,
bitching, bitching, bitching.
And there's some more bitching.
So I'm not going to keep you too
long because I need to get ready to
head over to opening ceremonies.
But I did want to share one piece
of intel I learned yesterday.
Okay.
And that is, you know the bike race?
Yes.
You know how they seated the athletes?
I have no idea.
It seemed weird.
They seated athletes by who had to share
a bike for heat one and heat two.
Not by position.
So if, like, hypothetically,
say hypothetically,
Tia and Laura Horvath were both in the
games and they both were the same size
needing the same bike,
they would split them up into Heat One
and Heat Two.
Because they're going to have to share
that bike.
Yep.
Now,
I saw some carnage of some bikes that
if that person was sharing with me and
then I inherited that wrecked bike,
I'd be pretty pissed.
I was talking to one of these,
I know, earlier.
We were talking about the bikes at the
semifinals that we had to ride.
He was basically standing on his the
entire time because every time he's trying
to sit on the seat,
it would go all the way down.
And I'm sure that was the same thing
because you just go and grab it.
You don't have time to adjust it before
you leave.
I don't know.
That's wild.
That's an interesting way to do that.
And by interesting, I mean terrible.
I don't like that at all.
Because now you're not actually actively
competing against people who you are
actively competing with,
if that makes sense.
You're not going against people who are
next to you on the leaderboard.
You're going against whoever at that
point.
Yep.
Larry says that's CrossFit.
This sucks.
It's awesome.
Yeah.
He's not wrong.
He's not wrong.
We could write that down.
I actually probably put that on a t-shirt.
CrossFit.
This sucks.
And it's awesome all at the same time.
Yeah.
Yeah,
Grace didn't realize they were sharing
bikes.
That's wild.
Yeah.
It was whoever needed sized the same
shared a bike between he and me, too.
And if by chance,
because of so many sizes,
you got split up into different heats
because of that.
That's not cool.
It's just not.
It's really, really not.
Jody says they couldn't get thirty bikes.
Come on.
Well, they need sixty.
And then Pat Velner needs two spares.
Poor Pat, dude.
I feel like I put the curse on
him because I was talking about it the
other day.
I was like,
whatever the odds are on him breaking a
bike, I'm going to take the over.
And he made it, what,
not even a full lap?
I don't think you put anything on Pat
Vellner.
I think that's been stuck on him for
a while.
Did his pedal fall off?
Did I see that right?
Yep, lost a pedal.
It's hard to bike with no pedal.
Or one pedal.
He probably had to share a bike with
the guy who wrecked it the heat before.
I'm just kidding.
I don't know.
I mean, what if he did?
What if somebody laid it down and got
it just loose enough?
Because I'm telling you,
I don't think he made it a full
lap.
before whatever happened to him happened
to him.
So it was clear that something was wrong
with him before his case.
I mean, he's strong.
Don't get me wrong.
What, a six-hundred-five-pound deadlift?
I don't think he's strong enough to just
snap a pedal off as soon as he
gets on the bike.
I mean, good Lord.
How cool is it, though,
he gets an event win in his final
CrossFit Games?
Good for him, dude.
Good for him.
Not mad at that dude whatsoever.
Not for that.
That's awesome.
Yeah.
Well,
I'm not going to keep everybody too long.
I've got to get over to the SAP
Center.
Since they're not broadcasting the opening
ceremonies,
the only way to see it is live.
So I'm going to get my ass over
there to get my credential finally for the
elite individuals.
Ortega just crashed his bike this morning.
I think he was having sympathy pains for
Pat.
He was just like,
it's solidarity right there.
You know what, Pat?
Crash his bike.
I'm going to go ahead and crash mine.
All right,
I got to go start getting warmed up
for this jump, Indian jump,
which ought to be real interesting after
my quads got fried on that bike ride.
So I got about an hour.
All right, brother man, enjoy yourself.
I'll be in touch.
All right, man.
Later.
Good luck.
Thank you.
All right,
Corey Leonard live from the Monster Games.
Glad he could hop on for a minute.
Yeah.
Debate on whether it's skill or not that
Pat keeps losing stuff.
Have fun.
Go live on Insta from the SAP Center,
Scott.
Yeah, that is highly illegal this year,
Jody.
Highly illegal.
Grace says she's heading over to the SAP
Center for Opening Ceremonies too.
Hopefully we see each other.
Come see me.
Come find me.
I'm pretty much letting Ishmael have the
lanyard to get into the media pits this
weekend because his pictures,
if you have not checked out his pictures
on Instagram, eCaptures,
they are phenomenal.
He did a great job the other day
out at Morgan Hill.
And hopefully we'll get some more up there
in the next little bit.
I'm placing cowshoe bets on who's holding
the flags.
That's a fun bet.
That's a fun bet.
Fraser Farms wants to know,
will you be at the suite?
Yeah.
Yeah, I hear there's an empty suite.
So I'm going to go hang out there.
Tristan,
are they literally not streaming teams?
Well, I'm not part of the broadcast team,
Tristan, so I don't know,
and I've been busy here,
but I've heard a lot of people not
happy with what has happened with the team
streaming so far.
So there.
Jodi has an in at Couchy.
Her son does the graphics.
Um, Tristan, have you tried the paywall?
Um, okay.
All right, cool.
Uh,
some teams events streamed later today.
Glad we have the most precise information
on what that means, what it is,
where it'll be.
Who knows?
They are, but as secondhand.
I did hear Vicki let me know this
morning that Coffee Pods and Wads did a
great recap of the first two events for
teams.
So if you want to check that out,
go to Coffee Pods and Wads YouTube channel
where he did some behind the scenes of
the team events.
Benita said, did the teams go yesterday?
I tried to watch including flow,
but couldn't find it.
So it was,
it was event one was going on while
Claire Bays,
Chase Ingram and Bella Martin were having
a talk show with the teams behind them.
And I think that's what they considered
their team's coverage.
And they would go occasionally over and
watch the bobsled stuff.
but it was definitely not straight
coverage of the team's division.
NAI says, anyone with Amazon Prime Video,
click live TV,
scroll to the very bottom of the guide,
click Flow Sports, you're welcome.
There you go.
NAI with all the intel on the flow
subscription.
Cool.
I do have an update from Vicky.
The, what do we have?
We have the climbing snail at twelve forty
p.m.
That's Pacific Time.
Three throw at two thirty.
Run hang squat clean to three thirty five.
Handstand sprint at five forty five.
And the hopper twenty twenty six at seven
forty p.m.
Team events.
The third event started at seven thirty
this morning about a half an hour ago.
Then we have the opening ceremony at nine
fifteen team event four at eleven a.m.
and the rowing worm at eleven fifty five
a.m.
So the teams are done shortly after noon.
And I am just half as good as
CrossFit CrossFat CrossFat.
Yeah.
Hey,
that's how we survive on this show is
all the stuff you guys give us, man.
You guys are the best.
With that,
I'm going to get ready and head on
over to the SAP Center for the opening
ceremonies.
I want to try to get Carolyn and
Jamie on tonight to just recap the Masters
from their perspective.
I'll see what we can do.
It's just tough with the time change.
We will...
We'll try to do something, though,
this weekend for sure.
With that,
I hope you guys have a great rest
of your day.
Have fun watching the games from wherever
you are.
If you are here in San Jose,
come see me.
I'd love to chat.
With that,
I hope everybody has a great rest of
your day,
and we'll see you tomorrow or tonight or
whenever we can pop on.
Don't forget, thirdsy.com backslash jazzy.
Get
And with that, stay jazzy.
