What's going on, everybody?
Welcome to Sunday, Sunday,
Sunday Night CrossFit Talk.
Here we are.
Here we are.
Another Sunday, another Bears loss.
I'm sorry.
You're counting them up.
We go at eight twenty, so Lana,
you better be watching
those lines for me.
was gonna I was trying to
pull it up in like a small
screen just to kind of keep
an eye on it that would be
great it's a great game
tonight I know ah so yeah
and uh I have almond raw
saint brown in my fantasy
league and I need him
desperately yeah I need
another hand headstand uh
touchdown celebration that
was wonderful can you do a headstand
I mean like that with no
arms yeah I don't know oh I
mean yes for I'm sure for a
second or two right like I
don't know that's funny
that you ask that because
we're doing a um handstand
skill progression right now
and last last sunday we did
like the stag drill,
like your legs like split like that.
Right.
And then, um, frog, like frog scan,
like you would have as a kid,
put your knees on your
elbows and then like go up
into a headstand.
And then to this week,
I did a couple of the day of like crow.
So same, like the kind of like the,
on the knees into a handstand,
not to your head,
like kicking up kind of
like a beginner press to handstand.
Um,
So, yeah, I don't know.
I'll have to maybe throw the
mat out and try a freestanding headstand.
What was funny is Monday night,
I got bored with the game,
and I flipped over to the Manning cast,
and Eli tried the headstand
in his basement.
So, like,
he said if – he told Peyton if
they scored,
he was going to go over and
try the headstand celebration.
Yeah.
So he got up into it with
his hands touching the ground.
Right.
The minute he took his hands off,
he toppled.
Yeah.
But he said, like, think about it.
Amun-Ra had a helmet.
Yeah.
Which would make it a little bit easier to,
like, not crush your skull.
Right.
While you're doing that.
But, yeah, what a cool celebration.
Yeah.
And it started in a high school.
Did it?
Yeah.
And he's not the first one.
Someone else had done it
like the week or whatever
before and then.
Yeah,
apparently a kid in high school did
it as a shout out to something.
And then it just has spread
since then as people trying it.
But the Atlanta Falcon that tried it,
it was weak.
It was weak sauce.
It did not.
I had some pretty good hang time.
Yeah.
I think it was Drake London
of the Falcons.
Okay.
He,
he piked before he really got it where
Amin Ra went full, like perpendicular,
strict core engaged
headstand before he came down.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Well,
hopefully he does about three of
those tonight.
That's all.
so um don't forget to like
and subscribe to the
channel um hit that
notifier so you're the
first to know when our new
episodes come out um I've
really been brainstorming
about what we're gonna do
moving into the next season
and uh maybe make some
changes with uh not this
show because this show is
jamie's pushing buttons
look out where's the chat
is nobody on I seem like
people are viewing so and
usually I have comments by now
Yeah,
I don't see anything in the chat either.
So maybe they're just not chatty tonight.
Maybe they woke up at five a.m.
like I did and are just hanging on.
so uh yeah but we're
thinking about making some
changes not to this show
this is one of our uh core
shows that will not move um
it'll be here every week
and our round table but I'm
thinking about putting some
other stuff out uh we'll
see about that in the
coming weeks and months um
tomorrow is veterans day sure is
So make sure you thank a veteran,
thank them for their service.
If you're listening and you are a veteran,
thank you for your service.
Thank you.
The CrossFit world
commemorates this and
celebrates this by
generally doing Chad one thousand now.
You actually did this game style.
Well, did you watch the whole reel?
I did not watch all real.
So did it not go well?
So we started that and then
we did like two hundred game style.
And then we're like,
I don't know if this is
such a great idea.
So we pulled the boxes off
and we started doing
we went to so my class wad
for saturday was forty five
minutes of I do ten steps
you do ten steps on one box
and once we had done the
two hundred solo that
version is harder and I I
tweaked my calf last sunday
um and coming down was not
great so I was like let's
just swap to going to the
you go I go and we thought
about going over still but
we're like let's just pull
the box out and so we
finished up by going you go I go
Okay.
So if you don't know what that means,
at the games this year,
it was step up on a box,
then up to another box,
and then down the other side.
So you had a pyramid of boxes.
Right.
So you actually did one, two, three, four.
It's just two.
Oh, just two.
Yeah.
So it's one, two, down, down, three, four,
down, down.
It's slower for sure.
I think it was like, I was like five.
I don't know, five,
thirty six or something for
my first round of twenty steps.
And I was like four.
I'm like four something when
I do regular Chad step ups, but, you know,
for twenty steps.
Yeah.
Slower.
kind of scary I don't know
that it would have been so
scary at the games with a
load of them and they
probably had it scared I
didn't even like I didn't
band my boxes down and some
of our boxes are getting
like real dinged up on the
side a little bit wobbly so
yeah you get to the very
top your way up there and
it's a little unstable and
you're like I don't really
like it up here yeah uh
lana did hers uh on a
twenty inch box with no
vest awesome job yeah
she did comment on my post
she said her there they
were doing it as a gym
today so that's awesome
yeah I'll probably do some
version tomorrow uh using
something around my house I
don't have a box but um
yeah I'll probably do
something up and down all
day yep I saw um I think it
was hillar and I think he's down with uh
William Leahy.
Oh, yeah.
They were doing a stair stepper.
And that one, you'd have to keep the pace,
right?
Because it's moving.
Right.
Yeah.
So, yeah.
Gnarly.
Ew.
But, yeah.
So, thank you so much to the veterans.
And thank you for giving us
the day off tomorrow
because the last couple
days getting up at five a.m.
I used to do that all the
time and now I cannot.
it is just miserable for me
to get up in the morning.
My circadian rhythm has
always been a night owl and
I kind of forced myself out of it.
And now that I'm back to that, uh, I,
I want,
I don't want any part of anything else.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Aaron has tomorrow off too.
So that'd be nice.
Yeah.
Catch up on some stuff.
So, um, everything else going well,
how's the tennis lessons?
Interesting.
Yeah.
I suck.
I mean, like I just, I,
I can get by playing tennis
matches by just like
running around and being quick,
but like lessons and he's
like trying to fix my stroke.
Like I, I don't know.
I just can't get, I can't figure it out.
Like I can't come to from the side.
You'd think I'd be able to
like more like golf side
and swinging through, but I can't like,
I like to run up to the
ball and like poke at the ball.
And he's trying to fix that.
But hi, Tristan.
Yeah.
When I was in college and I
retired from swimming,
I kind of dove into tennis.
And not for any reason,
but other than just to try
to stay moving and find something fun.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And I was okay.
I was doing pretty well,
just playing with friends.
And then one of my friend's
girlfriends was a
world-ranked tennis player.
Yeah.
And she wanted to play a little bit,
and so I agreed to play with her,
and she would kill me.
But then she would give me lessons after.
And I started getting better.
Um, and I,
and I developed like even a
pretty good first serve,
but I wasn't very accurate with it.
So if it hit, it was awesome.
If it didn't,
then my second serve was blah.
And then I just had to run
and do whatever.
And then when we moved to Florida,
I met a guy there and we
played every Sunday.
That's awesome.
In the Florida heat, we would play five,
like five sets.
And, um,
It was really good for me.
I wish I could find someone
to do that again.
I don't know if my body
could handle the pounding of tennis.
That's why pickleball is all
the rage because you don't
have to move as much.
It doesn't seem as fun to me.
I like the running around.
I'll purposely go back and forth.
I like that.
I just want to get decent
enough to be able to play
with Lucas and not get demolished.
Yeah.
Yeah.
The girl that I would play with,
she would demolish me all the time.
Like literally she would
have me running from side to side.
Yeah.
And I'm just returning it
right to her every time, you know,
and then she's just
standing there like tink, tink, tink,
like doing,
making me look like a puppet on a string.
But it's cool that you're
trying to take lessons
because it's a fun sport.
Yeah.
And as long as you have a friend,
you can play anywhere.
Mm hmm.
You know, which is pretty cool.
Yeah,
I think that's nothing real exciting
in our neck of the woods.
It's been rogue and hanging out.
Someone just came into our document.
It's an anonymous kangaroo.
Is it me?
Maybe yours is usually red
and says redemption.
But I don't know.
Who knows?
I'm in.
I was going to say something
and just totally my Julie
made me watch the movie
Woman of the Hour.
The new Anna Kendrick on Netflix.
Okay.
Okay.
Um, it was her like directorial debut and,
um, and she,
it's about a serial killer
who in the seventies,
it's a real true story.
Um,
but she went on the dating game and he
was one of the contestants.
Oh yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I, uh, I didn't like the movie.
No.
Yeah.
I, I would not recommend.
Hmm.
And I don't think it spoils it too much,
but like the Anna Kendrick
part is half the movie and
her part and her character
is irrelevant to how the story ends.
So to me, like, like I,
the story at the end,
when they updated you about
all this stuff,
this person had done and blah, blah,
blah.
Like I was like, well,
that's really interesting.
Why wouldn't,
why don't you tell me that story?
And why did you choose to pick this?
um I think the dating game
thing should have been like
a small five minute piece
of what he kind of did
instead of it being a major
aspect of the movie that's
my opinion um I know my
daughter loved it I but I I
did not I did not care for
it I'll keep that in mind
we watched um we watched
hillbilly elegy last night
a few years ago did you
watch it when it came out
yeah but it was good yeah
it takes place like right
around us I was gonna say
that it's middletown ohio
like is it pretty accurate
of that area yeah like
that's down in appalachia
so that's like yeah that's
where like cory went to
college uh that area down there um
And Tristan says movies.
Watch the new Joker.
Not good.
Really?
That's what I've heard.
Oh, that's a bummer.
But yeah,
they actually come to Columbus
for some stuff in the movie
Hillbilly Elegy.
And and so like some of that
stuff is very familiar.
But yeah,
it's definitely that where Corey
went to college.
If you leave her to college town,
it's very much that.
but I could not believe that
that was um the grandmother
was uh the famous actress I
don't know who played her
but boy did they do a
phenomenal job it's a
famous it's she's won like
ten academy awards like uh
oh I know who it is yeah um
now that you say that and I
like picture her not as
I could name her all the
time and now I can't.
She was in Madison County.
She was in Mamma Mia.
She was in Meryl Streep.
Yes.
No.
No.
Yep.
It is not.
It is.
Oh, that's not what I thought it was.
But the.
Which makes it even more
amazing that it was her.
Yeah.
Yeah.
did a good job on her
wardrobe wardrobe and
makeup like holy cow and
now he's our vice president
it's a cool story like dude
came from literally phil
yeah yeah for him yeah um
so yeah joker I liked the
first joker but it was a
one watch movie like yeah I
could never go back and put
myself through that again
And the second one is
supposedly like a musical.
Oh.
Oh, thanks.
And I like a musical in the right place,
but Joker just doesn't seem
to be that kind of place for me.
Yeah, no, that does not sound interesting.
All right.
Well,
we're we're sixty minutes and we
should probably hit rogue a little bit.
All right.
What do we got?
So day three from Rogue today.
Got up at five a.m.
and they pushed the start
time an hour ahead.
So got it for nothing.
And then they pushed it to six.
But we started with Gondola.
Gondola.
Which was our horizontal pegboard.
SkiErg and GHD.
If you knew what you were
doing on a horizontal pegboard,
you crushed it.
If you didn't,
it took some time to figure it out.
Or if you had limited grip capacity,
you hit a dead spot.
Yeah.
And it was all about the pegboard.
Yeah.
Speed on the pegboard.
It was interesting to watch.
More fun on the men's side.
Did you get the pick right
on Laura versus the field?
She won, right?
No, Brent got her by four seconds.
I didn't get it then.
I didn't even check my standards.
He looked great.
He did.
If he would have done a
double three-sixty coming
off the last one,
maybe then she would have won.
Right.
He was fun to watch.
He was so smooth on it.
It was interesting to watch
people's technique.
Some swing, some just boom, boom, boom,
boom, boom.
Like you're like, get a little.
Well, Laura was one at a time, but fast.
Yeah.
I was actually surprised she didn't take,
cause she would have been
faster than Brent.
Had she like probably used a
little bit of like the last
one he was doing like five at a time,
which was pretty amazing.
It also was reported that
Emma Tall suffered a tear
in her shoulder a week
before practicing the
horizontal pegboard.
And that's why she hit the wall she hit.
I see.
And that was reported by David Schrunke,
her partner.
Okay.
On Instagram today.
So...
You know, and I almost,
when we were picking for
third place yesterday, I almost said,
like,
the tape on her shoulder has me a
little concerned.
But she looked okay in the
other events that I wasn't,
like... I can't remember who I picked.
You picked Ariel.
Come on.
I mean, it's a good pick.
It's a good pick.
Okay.
Just saying.
Emma or married?
Craig's saying husband.
Uh...
last I knew they were they
were together I don't know
what the official status of
yeah I didn't know that I
thought they were just
boyfriend girlfriend yeah
um I know like lynette
burger is really tight with
her yes I could find out
because she coached her at
the games two years ago
craig says yes good for
them um I mean I don't know that was
I didn't like that they had
to stay in the same line.
I don't know what,
I don't know why they opted
for that rule.
Cause it was already
difficult enough for the women.
Like,
why are you putting limitations on
what they're doing?
Like they just need to get across.
Well,
most of them did the bottom line anyway.
Like where were they?
I don't know.
I don't, you know,
who knows if they would
have done when you're not going up.
It may have,
it may have gotten some of
them to bend their elbow.
Did you see Hiller test it?
No.
Like he showed it and he's like in the,
like you would pick
pegboard bent and like reaching,
reaching across, reaching through.
And so like ones above ones below, like,
I think it could have been quicker.
Well, Hiller was a wrestler.
So, you know, they did that.
They do that stuff all the time.
Um,
what,
what I did notice Saxon pulled
himself up every time.
Yup.
So you can place it in and drop it,
the peg in each time Chandler did that.
Um, but yeah,
they would have probably been
more comfortable.
Could they have gone like
they're alternating rows?
Yeah.
It, whatever it was,
it wreaked havoc on the leaderboard, uh,
this morning.
Yeah.
Um,
But the true fact is that
the other stuff was just interference.
There was no game-changing
move on the GHD or the SkiErg.
Yeah, I agree.
And my thought after
watching it was I would
have much rather seen a
pegboard elimination.
Just do a pegboard.
Because that's an accurate
thing and quickness.
And four rounds of that,
you did four pegboards anyway, right?
Yeah.
Yeah.
I mean, Laura would have still won.
Sure.
And Brent would have still won.
Well, he ended up second, but very close,
right?
Well, yeah.
He won the event.
Brent won the event.
But he didn't win the duel.
He got second to me.
So the other way would have
benefited Brent.
Okay.
So then we went to the handstand walk,
lunge, heavy double under.
I thought that was a really good event.
I liked the pirouette that
they added to the end of
the handstand walk.
You had to make a call.
Do I come down,
shake out before I do that with the turn?
And then some had to stop right after it.
Some were able to go the rest of the way.
I'm broken.
It really did make a huge
bit of difference.
The lunge.
they kept commenting on the
tailgate show how beautiful
that seer bell was and it
was it looked really good
like overhead in that lunge
it did everyone I thought
everyone had really good
body positioning um bring
up buddha but uh emily
rolf's technique on the ght
people said wasn't correct
I can't stand that I was
shocked that rogue didn't
it's specified it's allowed
though she's allowed to do
I know I I I agree that's
something I was shocked
that rogue said whatever
goes I can't stand seeing
that right it is not
optimal like if you get
your l-one they do not
teach that as the technique
right right but
They allowed it in the standards at Rogue,
and they've allowed it at
other events as well.
And if you can get away with it,
it just works different muscles.
And so it's more of you're
pulling with your legs
instead of your abs.
Apparently Tristan doesn't like it either,
the old cheater GHD.
Yes, that one.
You can call it that,
but if it's allowed in the rules,
you're allowed to do it.
yeah but okay this is why
things in our sport keep
happening and keeping
problems because people see
this and they're like oh I
should do it that way and
then an online comp comes
out and has them and it
says don't do it but like
and who's freaking watching
all those videos and and
checking that like that's
like get a standard down
pat and keep it that way so
people train the proper freaking way
I know when I had to judge
it at regionals back in the day,
your butt had to be behind
the top of the pad.
Yes.
In eighty,
ninety percent of comps or even
online qualifiers,
it'll say that on the rules.
So like.
But it's in here, apparently.
Yeah, I know it's.
I don't know.
It goes back to me.
It goes back to like.
how you, you know, how you practice,
how you play.
So she must practice them that way.
And I don't like that.
Another show,
but it really goes to having
a rule book that has
standard of movement for your,
your basic core movements
that you use a lot.
Sure.
Or if all the top level
athletes actually moved
correctly and moved well
and did things the proper way,
then all the fans that
watch would also do it the proper way.
Right, but this is a sport,
and people are going to
look at it for any
advantage they can unless
you put it in the rule book.
Quit trying to cheat things.
That's what I'm saying.
As a professional athlete,
be professional.
Quit trying to cheat things.
But that's being naive.
Yeah, I don't know.
Look, people in football try to do stuff,
grab, tug, pull.
whenever they can in baseball,
they're given signs by
beating on trash cans in the dugout.
Like it's people cheat.
That's what sports it's part of sports.
You've got, if you want to fix it,
you need to a rule book of standards.
I agree with that.
I know.
But if you had a good
standard of movement book
that you put out there,
maybe people would adopt
that because it would take
a huge chunk off of your
plate writing up the
workout descriptions.
Yeah.
And it would make judging better over.
I mean, it might take a year or two,
but like, man,
once they figured out these
movements and what they're
supposed to be looking for
and it's consistent at every single comp,
you notice when people
start doing things a little funky.
I mean, you all noticed it.
Everyone's like, man,
everyone went on live.
It's like, that doesn't seem right.
There was a man who did it too.
Yeah.
I can't remember which one now, but.
Yeah, I don't know.
So just don't pick on my Emily, okay?
I like Emily.
I mean,
almost like maybe she went too fast
there doing that.
And was it even necessary?
Probably not.
Um,
and it didn't matter cause she got
stuck on the pegboard.
I know that's what I'm saying.
Like, don't need to like race those.
You didn't need to race those implements.
You needed to be smooth on the pegboard.
I think it looks terrible.
And I,
and it's not the way you're taught
in an L one,
but most of these athletes
haven't even taken their L one.
So, you know, it's true.
Who knows?
Yeah.
So we talked handstand, walk, lunge,
heavy double under.
Heavy double under didn't
seem to be a problem for a
lot of the top tier athletes.
It looks like Haley has not
got that fixed.
That's what I figured.
She had that problem at regionals,
if you remember,
where she's a little
cockeyed when she's swinging.
And it was still there and evident.
And the heavy rope will make
you pay for that.
Right.
Um, it was funny though,
when you looked at the men,
Adler was jumping so much
higher than the other men,
like less efficient.
I said the exact same thing
watching it live.
Um, I was like, dude, Adler looks like I,
I thought it to me,
he looked like Jim peeper jumping.
Jim jumps really high and like,
and I'm like, it is not smooth.
Like he is spending so much energy.
Yeah.
He's, he still did.
Okay.
This weekend.
But, um,
Laura looked amazing.
So smooth on every aspect of it.
Um, didn't make a, uh, an error.
Um, and then did Brent won that one,
that one, right?
Uh, no, no, that one.
I was so annoyed with
Madaris one in there.
The live stream did not have him on it.
Right.
Which in second was Jay Crouch.
Yep.
Um, yeah, the live stream didn't even,
you couldn't even see,
I like rewound it to try to
see if I could even see him
in the far end of the camera,
like lunging or starting to
handstand walk.
You never saw him.
Yeah.
Justin was kind of invisible all weekend.
Yeah.
That's who did I call for that workout?
Yeah.
I called it in the heat went up to,
I actually went with your advice.
Okay.
Um,
But yeah,
the Justin one that we don't know
if he looked good or not on
it because we didn't see one.
But other guys did.
Brent looked good.
But Brent, his handstand walks kind of,
he had to break them up
much more on the last round
where Jay Crouch did not.
And that's where Jay kind of
got ahead of him.
And apparently Medeiros blew
by both of them.
uh so yeah um that was that
was a fun event to watch um
then we go oh I did a
judging thing on this um
I'm watching it live and
danny spiegel is get on the
handstand walk is being
told to go no no come back
no go no come back and then
a head judge has to come
over and tell her where she
needs to start the next yeah
If you are a judge and you
don't know where to tell an
athlete to start after they
come down on a handstand walk,
you shouldn't be judging.
Right.
They made her do a whole extra section.
And then she said afterwards
on the tailgate show,
so you had to have the
premium package to see this.
she did not do enough reps
for the workout.
And she reported it to the
head judge afterwards.
And she said she was
probably going to get a
penalty and she was fine with that,
but she didn't want to
cheat the system because
her judge let her go before she had to.
So she did not go into
details to what part rumor
was that it was double under.
She didn't do the full hundred.
Um,
but I don't know that for a fact.
And when you saw the judge
messing up just the handstand walk,
I was like,
that judge shouldn't even be
on the floor.
Like she should have been pulled,
especially on a Sunday.
Yeah.
Maybe it wasn't Danny.
It was maybe it was someone
else that I saw get told to,
to like restart their handstand walk,
but they got,
they had already passed the
one white line.
So I,
they were way way almost in
the next one but they
pulled them all the way
back to the very beginning
which made no sense to me
but I would say overall
like there were not a lot
of judging issues no this
weekend I think it was one
of the cleaner events you
had um I wish they would
announce penalties
So you,
you understood why you're the
person you're rooting for
that you put in the heat
one app is winning, uh,
is no longer in the event.
Yeah.
Like that would be nice to know,
but they don't really care about me.
So,
and then we went to the big secret finale,
which was Sam bag race.
And I thought it was boring.
I don't disagree.
It just, it,
it was hard to tell what rep
they were on.
It was clunky.
If you were there live,
maybe it was better because again,
only being able to see a
limited amount of the floor,
you didn't know who was where and what,
and the rep counters were way off on the,
on the stream.
Um,
And I just didn't, and I,
I love grace as a workout.
Uh, I did not like, I did not like this.
I, yeah,
I don't know what I would have
rather seen.
Like,
I don't know if it needed to be
spread out on the floor
more with clear numbers.
Um,
I don't know if I would have rather
seen it go over the shoulder.
Um, I, yeah, it,
It was just meh for me.
When you, when you take away the,
now it's probably what helped the judging,
but when you take away the
touch and go and you make
them do the arm out,
it just slowed it down to
make it really clunky to me.
Yeah, but it would have been so sloppy.
It would have been,
I admitted it probably helped the judging,
but that's where you just
go over the shoulder.
I mean, yeah,
it takes away the touch and go,
but people,
cause I think even there's
still like the arm is off,
but they're still questionable.
Are you stable there?
That seems like it's right about like,
you're,
you're kind of already dropping it,
even though your hand came off.
Right.
So like,
and those people got to move
quicker and got a little
slightly less fatigue.
Like if you're going to like
be questionable on some of those,
then just go over the shoulder.
If you, if you're trying to not,
if you're trying to
eliminate the touch and go
pop it over the shoulder.
Then people skirt the body,
especially with a sandbag that big.
I don't know.
I don't know.
That's a tough one for me.
And once again,
everyone just wants things
to be heavier and, oh,
put the heavier bag for the women.
And they're still a minute
slower than the men.
Like, why?
Why can't we just move it faster?
Again, you and I disagree on that.
I don't really care that the
women are slower because
you're only competing against women.
There's a lot not finishing too, though.
many people didn't finish
that I don't know enough I
have it up I can look uh
four five three four they
but they're all slow like
slower it's not as it's not
as exciting at the end I
thought the men's white
race was actually pretty exciting
didn't think any of it was
exciting so Lynn Lynn has
my back and says that only
four didn't finish and they
weren't going to they
weren't going to this is
too heavy it slowed
everyone down I mean when
Tia is a minute slower than the men it's
It's fine.
Tia won.
So this weekend,
it was either Tia or Laura
that won every event.
Tia won five.
Laura won four.
Tia wins the event.
Are you surprised Tia won that event?
I did not pick her.
I will say that.
I didn't either.
But I'm never surprised when she wins.
No.
But I didn't pick her.
So, yeah, I mean...
wasn't my first thought like
and the way laura was
talking all weekend and
last the last day try like
basically calling her shot
on the heavy sandbag or
danny you this one's a
little more fitness
endurance I called danny
she took second um laura
took fourth I think that I
had both of them in my heat
one I did too um I did not
have ariel third yeah on that event
but she is getting stronger.
And we've talked about that this weekend.
I would have thought Alex
Kazan would have done
better on that than Ariel,
but Haley super impressed me.
Yeah.
Well, that first heat with, with Haley,
Emily.
Yeah.
Emily, holy cow.
Finishing it fairly quickly.
Yeah.
Surprised me.
They looked good.
Yeah.
Super happy for them.
So, yeah,
so then we go to the overall leaderboard,
and I guess we can pull it
up real quick since I have it here.
So do you know,
was Brooke one of the ones
penalized in the duel?
I do not know.
Again,
I said I wish they would tell us
because you're only speculating.
What did you say the penalty on that was?
Ten seconds?
Yeah,
then I think she for sure was penalized.
I think Brooke would have podiumed.
Well,
I think Danny would have come really
close if she would have if
she wouldn't have been
penalized on that either
because she took like a dead last.
Was Danny?
Because Brooke I think got nineteenth.
I think Danny was twentieth.
I can't get there.
But Brooke would have beat her.
Uh, Danny took eighteenth.
Okay.
So,
so Brooke took nineteenth and Brooke
was forty points ahead of Danny.
Like Brooke's only thirty
points behind Ariel and
took nineteenth in that work in the,
in the dual workout.
So if she gets tenth or eleventh,
even just makes it,
makes it through that round,
she's podiuming.
Yeah.
I don't think I don't think
anyone's mentioned that.
Like,
there's I think it was pretty good
weekend for Brooke.
But I mean, I think she basically.
I just feel like dogs on
Danny for the most part.
And I had a great weekend.
I do, too.
And you know what?
I was quite impressed with
her movement this weekend.
She did a good job on her ring muscle ups.
um,
act like really like took her time on
those and pressed out.
I was impressed with her this weekend too.
And very, um, and I know Danny's like,
I know she's friends with
Jen and I know she's like a
super bubbly person and
probably hard to dislike if
you know her in person.
Right.
She,
you could just see that on the floor
with fans interaction.
She,
she looked like she was having a great
time out there being
extremely friendly and
signing autographs.
Um,
Good to see good for the camp.
I mean, that's going to bring more eyes.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I thought it was great.
I thought she was a great invite to bring.
Um, she did well, she deserved it.
Um, and she showed she belonged.
Um, but let's go overall top five.
Tia took first Laura second,
no surprise there.
Um,
Ariel took third, uh,
Alex Kazan took fourth and
Brooke Wells took fifth.
I think the biggest shocker
is that Gabby McGowan
finished an eighth and
didn't even do the final day.
I know.
Right.
And I think she would have done,
I'm curious how she would
have done on the pegboard,
but I think she would have
done pretty good at the handstand walk.
Yeah.
And I think she would have
done well on grace.
Yeah.
so um I know we're kind of
skipping around at this
point uh but I did I
watched her interview with patrick clark
And she did confirm that it
is suspected that it is an Achilles.
There was a rumor floating
around that it wasn't that,
that it was actually an ACL.
I don't know where people
were getting all of their information.
Out of her own mouth,
ninety nine percent sure
that it was an Achilles tear.
And she goes to see her
doctor this week and she
wants to get surgery as
quickly as possible.
Yeah.
And if you didn't see that,
It's worth a watch to hear
what Gabby says.
She talks about that she
found a new person.
I know.
I loved that.
And that this person is a
badass and that she doesn't
even really know who that is yet.
Right.
Yeah.
She's still trying to explore her more.
Get to know this new person.
Yeah.
Right.
And it's a shame that she
found her and then this happens.
Mm-hmm.
but she's going to need that
bad-ass to get through this rehab.
Cause we all know, you know,
and I said it this weekend,
my friend Chelsea Nicholas
did the same injury at the
games and it is a long haul.
And there are lots of ups
and downs throughout this, but, uh,
CrossFit says,
really hope we get evolved
Gabby and not a punctuation
mark like Fouché.
Well,
Fouché was retiring after that season
regardless.
So whether she injured her Achilles or not,
she was going to go into
the medical field at that point.
So that was going to be a
punctuation mark regardless.
Any surprises for you this weekend?
I thought Haley might finish
a little higher than she did.
I like the things that tripped her up.
I like,
I'm surprised that she couldn't get
through the pegboard quite honestly.
She was too.
So she was on the tailgate
party and she said that
everything she thought she
was going to do well in,
she did bad in and
everything she thought she
was going to do bad in, she did well in.
And so she goes,
I really need to go back
and kind of look at things.
I mean, yeah,
she's clearly put some effort
into the strength.
But we've always known that
about Gabby or about Haley, that her
One rep strength just isn't what's there.
She's always moved eighty,
ninety percent well.
She moved the squat snatch as well.
That didn't necessarily surprise me.
Moved this sandbag well,
maybe a little better than.
But I mean, you know,
she's been working on strength.
She's going to be even stronger.
I don't know.
I don't know that remaking her.
And I think this is partly
why she never wanted to stray from.
continuing to train her strengths.
Tristan and I had lots of
talks about that.
Like I,
I'm never going to get super strong.
It's just not going to happen.
And I'd rather just continue
to win the things that I'm going to win.
Yeah.
I think there's a way to
balance that where you don't,
but it's gotta be a careful balance.
Yeah.
So let's go to the men.
Um, I didn't really,
I guess my surprise would
be that I didn't,
I wouldn't have guessed Ariel to podium.
I even probably wouldn't
have had her in my top five.
Interesting.
And, and it, and it really just comes from,
and I,
I'm friends with her, but like,
I'm not like friends, friends.
Right.
So I just got a sense after
the games that she was a
little bit broken.
Yeah.
And I was worried about her
going into rogue.
And so I was pleasantly
surprised to see that she's not.
Yeah.
I think she's definitely
still got the hung.
Like she's a competitor, right?
She's going to hit that
floor and she's in a compete.
If she's in her,
she's in an environment
she's comfortable in and
she's there with several
other girls that she really enjoys.
Like being there with Danny,
I'm sure helped a lot.
Right.
Right.
I think so.
I think she just had to get
back in that environment and know that,
you know,
rogue takes care of their
athletes and you've heard
her speak on barbell spin that like,
she felt like a monkey in a
circus at the games.
And that is not how rogue
treats the athletes.
So I think it was a great
environment to like, get,
get your mojo back.
Yeah.
So let's go to the men's side.
Jeff Adler wins convincingly,
never really gave up the
lead for most of the for the weekend.
Brent Fikowski goes out with
a bang and a second place
finish at Rogue and Jason
Hopper podiums in a major
competition for the first time.
I think that there's some
great storylines there.
Ricky Gerrard in fourth,
Dallin Pepper in fifth.
Jay Crouch, he's like Mr. Sixth now,
isn't he?
Yes.
Gee in seventh, Justin Madaris in eighth,
Patrick Vellner in ninth,
Yonikoski in tenth.
I did see that Adler talked
after his win and talked about
that what happened at the
games broke his focus and
that's why he walked away
yeah and so coming into
rogue his focus was to win
and he was able to get that
focus back again um so
which I thought that was cool to hear
Again,
cool to see Brent go out with a bang.
I thought that was awesome.
We've talked about it with
his retirement this week a little bit,
about just the respect we have for him,
and glad to see him go out
kind of on top.
And Hopper,
this has got to be huge for his
confidence.
Yeah.
Even though Rogue fits his style better,
he's getting better and better.
But I did see JR say that he did –
By a log muscle-up bar.
I thought I saw that somewhere.
And was hoping that Jason
would use it more.
If he doesn't shit the bed on that event,
what did he finish?
Like, the nineteenth?
Yep.
Event four, nineteenth.
Yep.
Yep.
Jair's like,
it's probably just going to sit there,
but there it is.
Yeah, he'll work on it.
But yeah.
I mean, to be fair,
Brent had an eighteenth.
So the nineteenth versus the eighteenth,
was he going to finish any
higher than he did?
But if it's three years in a row,
it's a hole?
Well, yeah.
I mean, there's no excuse for it, really.
Right.
So what's your surprise on the men's side?
Um, well, I, I'm hearing Pat was sick,
but he didn't, I mean,
he didn't look like himself.
So where he finished was a surprise,
but not if he's sick.
Um, you're always Matt centric.
I love Pat.
Um,
I sorta thought Chandler would be in
the top.
It rogue is usually a good event for him.
I think.
think unfortunately for him
the field is just getting
so good and moving so well
that he can no longer just
get away with that like
brute strength and moving
like you got to start to
move really well and what
wear and tear has that put
on his body I know the
years of catching those
cleans in odd positions and
like it's it's gonna it's
gonna do its damage at some
point right but other than that
There's my surprise right there.
What one?
Guillemijeros.
I mean,
he's going to be in top ten at Rogue.
That's not really a... But I
don't think he was last year.
I'm going to say this
because he gets dogs so much.
He is fun to watch.
When it's his thing, he is so good at it.
It is like watching perfection.
Agreed.
I remember when I was a kid
watching Ken Griffey Jr.
swing the bat.
And it was so beautiful
because he did it so well.
And that's how I look at Guy.
He's just naturally made to
be good at things.
And it is amazing to watch him do that.
And he has so much fun out there.
He does.
He,
he has fun to watch when he's last night.
He's majestic.
Like when he is on,
it is majestic to watch.
He's like the only person I
like to watch snatch.
Cause it actually looks good.
It, it looks perfect.
I know.
Like, when he wants to sprint, like,
his sprint looks amazing.
And if I were to take my
head and put it on anybody,
it would be his.
It used to be Neal Maddox,
but Neal's getting a little old.
Hmm.
CrossFit says,
Guy is that Neomatics thing
where it doesn't make sense
for him not to do all the things well,
but he's happier.
I mean... Guy's probably
making money from sponsors,
making his following... When he captures,
did a shoot of him at the Tier Cup,
and let me...
collaborate with him,
the amount of followers
that Guy has that commented and liked,
it is freaking amazing.
When you're little peons
like us in the social media
world and you connect
yourself to Guy for a day, like,
your social media blows up.
Yeah.
I think the thing about Guy,
whether you're watching him
or listening to him or...
he, he makes you smile.
I don't know that I've ever
like watched Guy and not
had a smile on my face.
Like he just,
I don't know if he's just
happy and it just permeates in into me,
but like,
I don't get that from very many
other athletes.
I can see it in,
I can see it in like Ariel.
Yeah.
But there's other athletes who you just,
you,
you don't even want to hear them talk.
You,
you want them to go interview anyone
else.
Like,
That's how I feel about Danny Spiegel.
I love to hear her talk.
I think she's bubbly.
I think she's personable and,
but she gets dog too.
So, you know,
maybe that's just what
attracts me to people that
I want to hang out with.
Um, yeah.
Craig says he's a superstar in Brazil.
Lynn says Guy is laughing
all the way to the bank as
others dog him.
Vi says I think Guy is
really fun to watch and is
really just one group that
gives him constant shit.
Maybe.
Noah used to annoy me and now I love Noah.
I go back and forth on them.
See, I used to really like Noah.
There's things now that like
start to annoy me.
What's funny to me is I
interviewed him and I
admitted to him that he used to annoy me.
And then he just, he goes, I know I,
I do that to some people,
but I am who I am.
And in person, I, I, I do enjoy Noah.
yeah um sometimes I just get
that cringe when I'm
watching him but in I've
never had an issue talking
to him in person yeah in
person he is very fan
friendly he will not leave
until he signs every
autograph takes every
picture like the dude is a
rock star um and he is
really as nice as he is
like he is sugar saccharine sweet
nice um but yeah did did you
uh watch tia's award speech
or win speech or however
maybe right after the last
event which one he is I
didn't did you catch the
earlier one where she was
like said she was the underdog I did yeah
She doubled down on that in
the second one.
I can't even remember
explicitly what she said.
Great athletes sometimes
have to make up stories to
motivate themselves.
If you watch The Last Dance,
Michael Jordan did it all the time.
I don't know.
He would say that
like people tried to poison
his pizza in utah and
that's why he went out and
did what he did the next
like everything is a reason
for michael jordan yeah I
don't know it just I can't
I can't remember the word
she's in the second one but
it was more of a she's
saying basically nobody's
rooting for her, but like,
that's the words she needs to use.
Like, you know,
the crowd may not be behind me, you know,
like, yeah, nobody is rooting for you.
Nobody's cheering you on.
Definitely not true.
Well, there are a lot, but like, that's,
I think what she hears is the, like,
we're over her winning and
we want someone else to win.
And it's,
but it's not that we don't think
you're going to win.
We,
we definitely think you're going to win.
We're sick of it.
Well, I think analysts do that,
and then she probably hears that.
But whenever you're in a
live event with her and she
comes out on the floor, the place erupts.
Well,
I'd say probably even more so in the
European environment.
I'm guessing there's even more.
The syndicate crown, it was loud.
Now,
there are homers in different areas too,
right?
Like Haley,
her people live like an hour
away from the syndicate crown,
so that distorts kind of
the overall thing.
But yeah, T is never the underdog.
She is the greatest to ever do it.
She's the greatest that will
ever do it because nobody's
going to string together
this many championships ever again.
It'll just never happen.
Yeah, I don't know.
Her speeches and Laura's
both rubbed me the wrong way.
Vi says everyone knew she
was going to win.
We just also don't care about it.
I think Jamie is right.
People are a little tired of
winning and are ready to
root for someone else.
I'm not disagreeing with you
guys at all because when
she wasn't at the games,
it was more fun to watch
because you didn't know who
was going to win.
Right.
Sports are better when you
don't know the outcome.
Right.
Like sports are not fun for
me because my bears are
going to lose every week
and I already know it
before the game happens.
Tia enters an event,
you know she's going to win.
Unless she's five months
postpartum and she takes second.
Bruce says she makes comps so boring.
Craig says,
where do you think Emma Lawson
and Alexis would have
placed if they participated at Rogue?
I have no idea.
And I don't think Rogue is
really ideal for either one of them.
No,
but I actually think Alexis would have
done pretty well.
She's not far off from Ariel
and Alex Kazan.
You're going to find her in that tier.
So she's going to probably
be right there in the top five.
I think that they're both
stronger than she is.
Raw strength.
and uh alexis is not great
with a sandbag she's great
at a sandbag now she spent
an entire year doing all
sandbag everything where
did we see the proof well
it's too bad she wasn't
here because I actually
think she would have done
great if you listen test
this workout and upload it
so that we can prove scott
wrong because I believe in you girl
uh lynn says I also think
media has a place to play
in that like with everyone
saying they're sick of her
winning in other sports
she'd be getting a runway
walk and that is just sad
for crossfit I don't think
that's true true completely
lynn other sports hate the
winners too like I couldn't
stand tom brady I didn't
want to see him win another
super bowl I wanted someone
else to win a super bowl
I didn't like the Golden
State Warriors when they
were winning a bunch.
I like when you don't know the outcome.
But I do believe that you're right,
that that does contribute
then to her thinking she's
an underdog because
everybody's rooting for other people.
Yeah, those two are not synonymous.
She needs to rethink how she states that.
She's not the underdog.
It's zero to ten end of the first quarter.
Not good.
What's going on?
Lana, are you watching?
Lions are losing.
They are.
Again,
CrossFit kind of echoes my sentiments.
Okay.
Back to the notes.
We'll stop sharing.
All right.
Um, uh,
our very own Carolyn Prevo got to
be on the desk show on the
tailgate party.
How was it?
I think she was there at
least three times.
It was awesome seeing her.
I thought she did great.
The first day I could tell
she was a little nervous
right off the bat,
but those nerves went away
and she got into a, uh,
into a groove.
So, uh, that was pretty cool.
I also think the premium
package is well worth the money.
Um, I really enjoyed it.
This morning, the, the desk had the,
on the tailgate party had
me laughing so hard when
events aren't always super
exciting and you get, um,
and you get storytelling
from like any Thor's daughter,
Josh bridges, China Cho.
It was really, really good.
And, um, this morning was awesome.
The, the play between Josh and Annie,
like Josh said, Annie, how tall are you?
And Annie goes, I don't know.
How short are you?
Like that's the stuff that happens.
And then, um,
they brought out Scottish
foods for them to try and
they all ended up loving haggis.
Wow.
And, and Pat Sherwood's like,
I have become a huge haggis fan.
And, um,
this is the best thing I've had in
Scotland.
Like the best part of my
experience has been haggis.
Interesting.
Like Pat,
you'll never look at a sheep the
same way again.
That's funny.
So they were, they were really,
really funny.
Um, and it was, uh, it was,
it was really fun to watch.
Um,
half Thor was on this morning and Josh
said about him that man,
that guy's so big.
I sit there and think to myself,
this man is just letting me live.
But they were actually
drinking whiskey this morning too,
because that was one of the
sponsors of the tailgate party.
Oh my gosh.
So it was, it was pretty crazy.
lots of lions talk.
And then we have Bruce keep
springing up this rumor
that none of us know about.
And I, and I do not,
I will not believe it.
I would be shocked as well.
Like, so Bruce is saying,
or bringing up the rumor
that leaving for proven.
Yeah.
I mean,
the only thing I can think is like
people saying people are
hanging out with other people.
I can see him hanging out
with Jay Crouch and,
just cause he's, you know, like, I don't,
but that,
I don't think that necessarily
means he wants to go train with him.
Tristan agrees.
Ricky leaving seems thin.
I, I would be surprised.
And I, to man,
to do that to someone like
Kotler took him under his
wing when nobody wanted to
take him on man.
I, yeah, I was just going to say that, um,
I know the place that the
risk that Justin took taking him on,
coming back from suspension,
was a huge one.
And the fact that he did
that and supported Ricky
through that time, if Ricky walks away,
I lose a ton of respect.
I agree with that.
But I'm a loyalty guy.
Uh, I'm like loyalty to a fault.
Guess we'll find out.
I don't where they said,
pretty much firmly said it.
Um, CrossFit says, CrossFit says,
I think he saw the pro
athlete aspects of proven
the small precision
percentage changes he can make.
Or go get hurt because, I mean,
they ruined.
Who's proving the changes are good?
Yeah.
I mean, they ruined.
Other than Tia,
Jay Crouch made his jump
before he joined Proven.
So, like, I don't know.
Because, I mean, Brooke moved on.
Was it Spencer Saxon that
was there and moved on?
Both got her under under them.
I, again,
I will lose a lot of respect for
Ricky if he leaves.
Totally.
Uh, yeah, that's true.
Uh,
such a loyalty guy hasn't fired
Eberfluss yet.
That is correct.
See, should have fired him last year,
but I'm too loyal.
Dang it.
You guys are commenting too fast.
Uh, you say Maddie's dirt.
She's,
but she's going to work out with Jay
regardless.
Yeah.
Right.
And that alone is going to help her Excel.
Merton's joined proven and
then didn't make the games.
And I love Joey tutor.
So I don't, I don't think that, um,
Yeah.
Colton makes the games, joins Proven,
doesn't make the games.
There's more evidence to the contrary.
And the way people join Proven,
like a month before the
semifinals or a month before the games,
makes it hard to know what
effect was made where, when, and how.
But I don't disagree that
that was a semifinals programming issue.
I got all kinds of programming issues.
Yeah.
That's the problem with Colton, though.
Things are either going to
be... He's just... He is at
a disadvantage.
Yeah.
He just... He's at an extreme... He is.
He cannot change that.
Right.
He's either at an extreme advantage,
and you can't just program
everything that's going to suit him.
Right.
So...
Anyway.
Yes,
I agree when he's an anthropomorphic
outlier.
Yeah, the ascension at underdogs,
I'd say Alex Kazan.
Ricky when healthy has
finished second at the games.
Up underdogs has a bunch of
Australian athletes.
I mean, what's that?
He still has Brian, right?
Yeah.
But I know Benny Gerard
works with Justin too and
helps him coach in Australia.
So it just,
there's a lot of things that
just don't make sense.
Yeah.
I don't know.
Anyway.
We'll move on.
I don't want that to be true.
Don't put it in the ether.
We had the injuries.
We talked about Gabby already.
Heinrich confirmed his on
Instagram that it looked
like his was a rupture again.
Of course, they have not had their scans.
Gabby even said when they felt down there,
there wasn't an Achilles.
They're pretty sure it's ruptured.
Right.
So, um, Heinrich said the same thing.
Looks like an Achilles rupture.
He was heading,
heading back to Finland to get, um,
all that stuff started for him as well.
Uh, and we talked about Emma tall, right?
When?
Yeah.
Yep.
Um,
so then I thought the venue looked
awesome.
I agree.
I think the turf inside was great.
and really allowed for like
the sled pushes and
different things like that to happen.
I thought it was pretty, pretty cool.
And then my last question to
you about Rogue is after seeing it,
who do you think is poised
to make like a good jump
back into a good season next year?
I mean,
I feel like it's tough to say Jason
because he lets you down at
the game sometimes.
But I mean,
this has got to give Jason a
little bit more confidence
moving into the season.
He's making the right
changes moving back home.
I expect him to only continue to improve.
Dillon, I'm excited for Dillon.
He had a couple letdowns here.
And then, I don't know.
Jay,
I think Jay is in a... So I'm going to
go out of the box.
I was impressed with Amanda Barnhart.
After having the shoulder injury,
going through all that rehab,
doing what I thought she's
actually starting to look
like herself again.
Agreed.
And actually,
I think while the shoulder
injury was happening,
she did more monostructural stuff.
And I thought she actually
looked better on the runs
and those types of things.
She's never going to win those events,
right?
No.
But I thought she did better
than she had in the past.
And I think that it would be
cool to see her make a
comeback next year.
Maybe I'm just rooting for my Ohio girl.
I mean, I think Emma get her healthy.
I'm a tall.
Oh yeah.
Yeah.
Like, and in Brooke, Brooke looks,
I Brooke looks great to me.
Like she's clearly healed
from her shoulder.
Craig, she was never talked about.
That's why you come to us.
Those things that other people don't,
but she,
she never was like at the very
bottom of anything.
She,
she kind of middled a lot and I don't
think her strength is back.
I think because of that shoulder,
her strength is not where it was,
which was elite.
Right.
And if her other stuff has
gotten better because of it,
It'd be cool to see where
she's going to be next year.
It's weird that her and
Haley finished right next to each other.
Alex, Brooke, Emma,
if she can get healthy.
I saw Lynn say Emma Tall.
Emma McQuaid, yeah, I don't know.
She obviously wasn't talked
about really at all.
You didn't get to see much of her.
Oh, she finished dead last, too.
Yeah, I know.
Yeah, like...
She's been dealing with a lot of injuries.
Okay.
When I talked to her before the games,
she had like bad vertigo
and was dealing with a neck issue.
And she was only starting to
be able to do movements
right before the games.
I, at some point,
like you look at risk
reward with injuries, right?
Like,
do I keep pushing through all this
stuff or is it just time to stop?
And, but I don't,
I think she wanted to do rogue in her,
in kind of her home area.
Yeah.
And I'm glad she got the
chance to do that because she,
she's a really cool lady.
Maddie Sturt did great.
She did.
I see a lot of those in here, too.
And then Bruce, the naysayer.
Should Pat retire?
No, he was sick.
He was sick.
I mean,
day three would not have been that
bad for him in any other situation.
Yeah.
Yeah,
the Sarah Stig story is one of my
least favorite things in the world.
I love that woman.
She's always been awesome to us.
But I think that Emma is
kind of heading down that
path where maybe the
injuries are just mounting up too much.
Yeah.
So, well,
we want to get Jamie to the Lions
game as quickly as possible.
Did they score?
They scored,
but Houston just got a field goal.
So it's seven to thirteen.
Okay.
And I swear, Vellner was made for burpees.
His speed when the change was made.
Jesus.
What about he's going to be?
Yeah.
And we're here for it.
Yeah.
I love the guy we have.
He doesn't need to be anybody else.
So just so you know,
another event was going on
this weekend in Arizona
called the Desert City Classic.
And it featured a lot of the
athletes that are our
traditional semifinal
athletes that this show
likes to follow and talk about.
And so we just wanted to go
down through the leaderboard.
It was held at the same
place where Legends was
held last year at Arizona
State University,
which is a beautiful
facility with a connected
outdoor Olympic swimming
pool as well as two floors.
But they did not stream.
Yes, WOD Gods was on this weekend too.
So I'm going to pull up.
I did screenshots of their
leaderboard because it was
not running fast today um
so here is what we have for
the women's side uh zoe
warren took the victory at
desert city classic howdy kenyo
An Ascend athlete took second.
Hannah Black took third,
also a friend of the show.
Haley Kentak took fourth.
Aaliyah Miller took fifth.
Madison McElhinney took sixth,
another friend of the show
and Ascend athlete.
Zaya Flores took seventh.
Elisa Shower took eighth.
Rochelle Hudson, ninth.
And Kyla Romero took tenth.
And they were very active on social media.
So if you follow them on IG,
you'll get to see a lot of
content from the weekend.
And Lynn reminds us of
Beetlejuice Extravaganza in
Latin America with Tola, Lena,
and Oscar M from Proven.
Haley was impressive.
Is that Haley Canthag?
She's young.
That's the name I did not recognize.
Like just coming out of the teen bracket.
See if Tristan knows.
On the men's side,
another friend of the show, Max Krieg.
John Wood took second.
John and Zoe are a couple.
Yep.
And CJ Gerald, another friend of the show,
took third.
Brandon Smith, fourth.
Matt Brady, friend of the show,
took fifth.
Jace Brooks, sixth.
Anthony Yim, seventh.
Tristan Harrison, friend of the show,
took eighth.
And Kale Taylor, participant.
Brandon Freebury took ninth.
And Adam McAdams took tenth.
Uh,
and so Haley was impressive according
to Tristan and she is young
and raw and so sneaky.
Good.
I'm pretty sure Mark thick boy, uh,
sort of works with her.
Has max rested since CrossFit masters, uh,
max who Lynn max Krieg is not a master.
Max is young.
I'm not sure who.
He is a naval dive captain or something.
Yeah.
I don't think anyone in that
list is over thirty.
Yeah.
Two.
I don't know.
Yeah, I don't think so either.
I'd say I think John might
be the oldest one.
I don't know.
Sometimes,
so Max is being coached by Lynn
Berger as well.
And so maybe that's the
confusion because she
typically coaches her
husband and other Masters athletes.
He did do Crash.
But before that, I mean, I don't know.
So congrats to all those athletes.
I wish that, you know,
we talked about it last week,
like something that CrossFit
needs to do to grow, and that is stream,
stream, stream.
We are a grassroots sport,
and it doesn't matter if
it's down and dirty
streaming or elaborate streaming.
Everything just needs to be streamed.
We just need to see what's
going on at these
competitions so we can talk
about them and report on them.
But, yeah, I wish they would do that.
Is something exciting
happening in the game?
They almost just called an interception.
I can't, I just hearing screaming.
We lost the ball.
Not good.
Okay.
But I love supporting those
athletes that work really hard.
And I know that there's been
high praise for that Desert
City Classic where the
programming was done by Scott Pancheck.
So I'm interested to take a
look at the workouts to see
what his programming looks like.
How was it, Tristan?
Did you like the workouts?
He's talking about being a Detroit fan,
so I'm not going to.
Buddy.
He is a good coach.
Overall.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I want to look at them.
Do we know how wide guards ended up?
Anything over there?
Did Bryson win?
I don't know.
A little run heavy.
Dang, I should have went.
know what I want I want to
go back and go to that
airbnb we were in and be
able to use the pool yeah
agree that's what I want to
do um so so yeah we'll look
at those we'll talk about
some stuff um if you if
there's anything you want to talk about
throw it in the chat,
throw it in the comments,
as we're kind of hitting
kind of a doldrum area of the season.
Who knows?
Maybe some CrossFit news will come out by,
like,
people changing training camps or
whatever.
But every time I think it's
going to be slow,
we have two pages full of
notes to talk about.
Great.
I didn't know Jacob Marlow was at Wodgods.
For some reason, I was thinking.
So he says Casey Strong was first,
Jacob second, Lydia Fish was first,
and Cody Vittetto was second.
I love Cody Vittetto.
She is the one that owns a
coffee shop in Houston that
they make the cereal milk lattes.
These are the weird facts I
know about people because I
interview them before semifinals.
Jacob went one, one, one, six,
four at WOD gods.
And when we say Jacob,
we mean Jacob Marlowe.
Yes.
Nice.
Lydia has been competing like crazy.
Yeah.
She just needs experience.
Yeah,
it's not necessarily a bad thing as
long as you can stay healthy through it.
Yeah, Vi asks, she says,
this may be a silly question,
but is there a central
location that houses all
CrossFit competitions?
Like,
can you search a database for fitness
competitions near me?
I don't know of anything like that.
I know that Morning Chalk Up
used to put everything they
know at the very end of their email,
the daily email.
And I think Lynn has a great point.
If they're a competition corner,
You go in there and see the list,
but it is the worst.
Yeah.
It's database searching.
And not everything's on
Captive Street Corner.
Some go to the strongest
compete or whatever.
Desert City was with Stream Fit.
Yeah.
Crash was local comps.
That's the other one I couldn't think of.
So yeah, that's all I really know.
Yeah.
But with that, it's been a fun night.
We'll try to pop on with
Carolyn and just get some,
do like a short show with
what her experience was like in Scotland.
I know she's going to have
to catch up with her job
when she gets back as well.
But maybe she tried some
haggis and we can find out
what that was like.
I don't think I could ever do it.
Could you try it?
I'd try, try it.
Um, yeah, I don't know.
I probably could once, once.
Yeah.
All right.
With that guys, it's been a blast.
Don't forget to like, and subscribe,
hit that notifier.
Um,
We love doing this.
We love being here every week.
We love hanging out with you guys.
Can't wait to do it again next week.
We'll see everybody then.
Until then, see you.
