hard for carolyn it's okay i still got
france we're still good still good let's
go uh lex wants to know if jamie
got her hair done yeah
I mean, it's just not in a ponytail,
or I didn't go to the gym today,
so.
Fergie actually sent me a reel,
and now he's asking me a question about
it.
Would you rather do the
So at the Savannah Bananas game,
they had two hundred fifty year old men
shirtless run.
It was about a hundred, I'm guessing,
a hundred meter sprint.
I responded back to him.
It had to break the record for most
pulled hamstrings and torn Achilles.
Oh, no.
Were men going down?
I don't know.
I was just making a joke.
There were definitely a couple that.
worked out and there were definitely a
bunch that did not in that race um
i don't know what the seventy seventeen
seventy six watt is if it's like the
one we did at the gym you had
to do like one thousand seven hundred and
seventy six reps and it was like ten
movements or whatever so just like cycle
through it however you wanted to do it
yeah i it depends on what those reps
are
So that I, I don't know.
I feel like, I mean,
it was like box jumps, kettlebell swing.
I don't know.
So a ton of double unders.
Tutor.
That in two minutes.
What was that?
You could do double unders.
I think was one of the moments I
said,
tutor could finish that in like two
minutes.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Unbroken.
Yeah.
Um,
Yeah, I, uh,
my internet's going like in and out here.
So I'm like,
I'm catching pieces of things.
Okay.
Just jump in when you can.
We gotcha.
Um,
I watched more soccer last week than I've
ever watched in my entire life.
Other than the show.
Welcome to Rexham.
And I actually found it exciting.
I still was like confused about some
things,
but
didn't grow up on soccer,
didn't play soccer.
So I, you know, it's really tough.
Yeah.
Welcome to Rexham is like the most soccer
I've taken in as well.
Well, that in compare and with Ted Lasso,
those two shows, um, Rob Mack looks weird.
Now he lost me.
I,
I didn't notice a difference other than
the name change.
I haven't watched the most recent season,
so I don't know.
I've watched every episode, I think.
Okay.
I did notice some people watch, well,
Jason Bourne watched Project Hail Mary.
I've seen it twice.
I saw Averro hate on it.
It does take a minute to get into
it.
Um, it's just like the book when I,
I actually listened to the book on a
long trip and the first hour of the
book, I'm just going, what is going on?
But that's, that's kind of the book,
like it's the premise and the plot line.
It's a man who wakes up,
doesn't know who he is, where he is,
what he's doing.
And,
and he's uncovering this as the book movie
unfold.
And as it unfolds,
you become aware of it when he becomes
aware of it.
Okay.
I started watching,
I think it's Maximum Pleasure something.
Yeah,
Lex texted me yesterday that you guys were
into Maximum Pleasure Guaranteed.
We're all caught up on it.
It's good.
It's good.
It is not at all what I expected.
Not at all what I expected.
No, certainly not.
But but it's like there's a couple
episodes my jaw was on the floor at
the very end.
It because it is that shocking.
I really like it.
I'm like waiting for the next one to
come out.
Yeah,
I think there's only one more episode this
season.
Oh, really?
Yeah.
There's still a few pictures that I'm
trying to connect and I'm like, oh,
we still haven't,
we don't know who this person is or,
so lots of questions left to be answered.
Terry,
nineteen ninety nine for the ladies.
Again,
we are taking donations for Carolyn and
Jamie to get them to San Jose.
Any super chat that comes in,
we'll go directly to them.
And I am offsetting any charge that
YouTube gives that super chat.
So,
one hundred percent of your donation goes
to Jamie and Carolyn.
So, thank you so much, Terry.
And I think we're going to extend it
for one more week.
One more week.
Oh.
Yeah, I'm going to do one more week.
We still have two and a half weeks
before the games.
So, if we go one more week, that'll...
I think tomorrow they begin releasing work
notes for the masses.
I think we get some, yeah.
Yeah,
I figured like next weekend we would
preview the Masters games.
The weekend after that,
we'll preview the Elite games.
Because we'll probably know a little bit
more at that point.
If you guys are still here.
Yeah.
Wendy, when are you going?
Well, she can drive.
Oh, you're staying out there till then?
Registration day.
Oh, okay.
I'm like an hour away now.
A little bit over an hour.
i will i've already done the flight to
california okay yeah i will be i will
fly at like five or six in the
morning on monday so i'll be in grand
rapids at my sister's sunday night and
like i don't know i don't know if
i'll be available that night before what
we can make things work we'll figure it
out um i've missed a whole lot of
stuff here uh
both good books yes martian the martian
and um project hail married both good
books across fed says pure michigan i
don't what what is going on with that
um okay so
that is i was working projects all weekend
trying to get this patio done the heat
on friday was almost unbearable it was
almost just as bad yesterday finally today
we got a break finally yep um to
get some stuff done but man my back
is smoked it is just smoke bending over
to lay down bricks and tile and being
bent over the whole time
It's just a lot for this fifty six
year old back.
It's had twelve procedures.
But we're getting there.
We're getting there.
Shelly Young,
nine ninety nine for the girls.
Thanks, Shelly.
Oh, my God.
Oh, good.
Independence Day here.
Dang.
Thank you.
Great Independence Day here in the States,
minus the fireworks for the dogs.
It's always a night like Lex slept on
the floor with one of our dogs, Callie,
because she just gets very anxious and
their hearts are going crazy.
We don't like the fireworks here.
Do I have help with the backyard?
My wife, to some degree.
But pretty much it's just me.
Some directions on where to put things?
She actually is even backed off on that.
She's letting me kind of design it.
And then she's coming in with flowers and
stuff for the areas that aren't going to
be like seating areas.
So... But yeah.
Lots of wheelbarrow pushing...
lots of i i made a cement pad
this weekend um coming off my steps lots
of heavy bags of quick crete that i
didn't have enough had to run to the
hardware store get more come back if
you're doing a project and you don't have
to run back to the hardware store you're
not doing it right you're right you're
right um okay
No harm in getting help, Scott.
Sometimes getting extra hands is good.
Here's the deal.
I don't even really know what I want
the end product to be.
I'm kind of making it up as I
go.
And I didn't put any expectations on me
other than I have all summer to make
this.
Have you been having good weather?
It's just been hot this week.
Like I was doing really good.
We were getting a lot of headway.
And then this week it just was brutally
hot.
Yeah.
It went from like seventy five to ninety
six.
It was a little insane.
We hit ninety eight one day,
but it's all been like and a hundred
percent humidity.
Yeah, I know.
The real feel was like one oh six.
It was insane.
Yeah.
And this the heart medicine I'm on,
it makes me sensitive to heat.
so like i'm doing things in like small
chunks like i'll go work for twenty
minutes to a half hour take a break
go work for twenty minutes to half an
hour and just keep doing that over and
over again and then if it rains i
work on the garage those are my two
projects um yeah vicky my garage was a
sauna yeah it was brutal um
I have feedback from somebody now it's
gone.
Okay.
Uh, cows and CrossFit.
Tell me about Scott.
I was bailing hay all week.
That is a brutal job.
Yeah.
That sounds awful.
Uh,
has anyone ever got enough bag of wood
chips their first time to finish?
So you're saying mulch mulch?
No,
we never have enough or you buy too
much and you have six bags left.
Yes,
that's usually what happens around here.
It's like pasta sauce and pasta.
You can never get it to match.
Good analogy.
So anyway,
we're going to talk about some stuff
tonight.
I was trying to think,
any other big sports stuff happen this
week?
Nothing really, right?
Oh, F-one.
Here's my fascinating fact for F-one
today.
So the course at,
in the UK at Silverstone is five point
eight K.
If you were to run a five K,
how fast, how fast would it take you?
Right now?
I don't know.
Twenty one minutes, twenty minutes.
A five K?
Yeah.
Do you know?
Carolyn,
do you have a guess what you would
run it in?
On how long I would run a five
K?
Yeah.
These cars were doing five point eight K
in eighty eight seconds.
What?
Eighty eight seconds.
That's insane.
The perspective of that is mind-boggling.
Yeah.
It was a terrible race end.
It ended under a yellow.
There was no excitement.
And that's with turns and stuff too.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
But it ended under yellow.
My guy Lando came in fourth.
So just off the podium.
I think he could have got third if
they would have gone green again.
But they just never did.
And it was just kind of a bleh.
So crazy NBA and NHL trades, yeah.
My Seventy Sixers got, oh my gosh,
I'm blanking.
The guy from the Celtics.
Jalen Brown.
Jalen Brown, yeah.
Kawhi Leonard's coming back to Toronto.
Yeah.
Yeah.
There's trades all over the NHL.
It's like insane.
Paul George is going to the Celtics.
Yep.
Yep.
And LeBron is doing decision six,
apparently.
Taking his talents to somewhere.
Do you know how long the Nuremberg ring
is?
I don't.
I don't.
Yeah.
So, all right, let's talk about some,
some CrossFit stuff.
Wait, I have a question.
Did you have your progressive dinner?
So my progressive dinner for the fourth
turned into a cookout.
Oh, good.
I'm happy for you.
It was burgers and dogs, macaroni salad,
pickles.
I am so addicted to pickles right now.
I love pickles.
I don't think a day goes by that
I don't eat a pickle.
Did you get my snack that I sent
you?
Aaron had made that Grillo's pickle dip.
I saw it, yeah,
but I didn't know what it was.
I've never.
Oh, you haven't seen that, like,
going around TikTok?
No.
Oh, okay.
Yeah, but you, like,
take the pickles out and, like,
save some of the juice.
You, like, chop the pickles, add bacon,
cheese, cream cheese, obviously.
You put it back in the jar.
Was it good?
Yeah, it was good.
He did two of them.
Grillo's has a hot pickle as well.
And so he did one that was, like,
a spicy dip and one that was regular.
Okay.
You can just buy pickle de gallo from
Gorillaz.
Really?
I didn't know I had that.
So here's an unpopular.
I am not a fan of Gorillaz.
When they're good, they're really,
really good.
But it is really inconsistent.
I agree with that.
I agree.
I like just like cloths and pickles.
Like that's what I usually get out of
the refrigerator section.
Which brand?
I'm sorry.
Clawson.
Yeah.
I have Clawson's in my fridge all the
time.
Yeah, that's what I prefer.
Yeah.
They're a little, like, too dilly for me.
They're not, like, I don't know, garlicky,
I guess, enough.
I don't know.
I get that,
because we had Grillo's at the picnic
yesterday,
and it had a good garlic bite to
it, and they were a good Grillo pickle,
but you just don't get the same one
every time.
Yeah, I can see the batches.
Where Clausen's are pretty right down the
fairway every time.
Yep.
I bought some from New Jersey,
like the New Jersey Pickle Company one
time by mail.
And they have these things called whole
sours.
That was amazing.
Really?
And when they say whole sour,
it's how much dill and garlic they put
in.
And it's the whole bit.
They were amazing.
Mm-hmm.
Kenneth Tilap is a bread and butter
pickles guy.
I'm not really partial.
I just don't like sweet pickles.
I do not either.
But I prefer a dill,
but I'll eat a bread and butter if
it's there.
Ed, you're wrong.
You are wrong, Ed.
That's all it is.
It's your wrong.
um all right so uh we have the
leaderboard finalized this week not that
it was any big surprise because it didn't
change much in the last four or five
days um we know who's going to the
games now we've announced enough times on
this show we don't need to go through
it again but one thing i found fascinating
as i was listening to the interview with
dave and ariel today she is the oldest
female athlete at thirty two
That's new.
I thought she was older than thirty-two.
I literally just listened to it before the
show.
She's thirty-two?
Yep.
Now the men may have an older guy.
And on the women's side,
it's the youngest, oldest athlete ever.
Miley's the youngest?
No, no, no.
Ariel is the youngest,
oldest athlete ever.
Oh, yeah.
That makes sense.
Yes.
Makes sense.
I mean, Carolyn was there last year,
right?
She's older than thirty-two.
Well, I found interesting... Go ahead.
Yeah.
We have a delay,
so I'm going to stop, Carolyn.
You go.
What I found... Sorry.
Yeah, the internet's not great here.
That...
a third of the field came out of
the teens division.
I thought that was interesting to hear.
Ten out of the thirty females competed in
the teenage division.
And I think he said seven out of
the thirty men also came through the teen
division.
I thought that was interesting stats.
That's a big, big change.
Because there was a period where the men
weren't bringing anybody out of the teen
division.
Is Miley seventeen or eighteen?
When she did the interview with Dave,
I believe she was seventeen.
I don't know if she still is or
not.
Um.
Tessa said,
Dave always forgets about shit.
And it was so awkward that he asked
Ariel if she talked to Tia about babies.
It was kind of weird.
Because it was like Ariel didn't even know
how to answer the question.
I haven't listened to the Ariel interview
yet.
I'll have to catch up on that one.
Is she not...
friendly with you do they not talk i
don't think it's that i it just seemed
ariel's answer was when i talked to tia
we don't talk about kids i could see
that yeah and dave they're just moms and
that's the only thing they have to talk
about yeah kind of it was weird it
was awkward
But I did think that,
I think all these interviews have brought
something to the forefront of what could
be coming at the games.
And that's the big thing I wanted to
talk about kind of this week is all
of these little announcements that
CrossFit is leaking out over and over
again.
We know we're getting the original hopper
workout as the first workout of the games.
We know we're getting no dives and no
flip turns, which I am completely against.
And I want to go off on that
in a minute.
Well, no, on his story the other day,
someone dove into the water.
And he said, no rep.
Right.
Oh, I didn't have the volume on.
Yeah.
Yeah, he screams no rep on that.
We know it's twenty five meter swims,
which is not that big of a deal
in the swimming world.
The bike is back.
We know the snail and the pig are
back.
We it's we also know one we only
know one full event,
but we know all these little like things
that have popped off.
Right.
like Snail Pig and the hoppers being used
and so on and so forth.
And then on the couple interviews I heard
today that there's going to be a couple
long events and a couple BAM events that
are pretty much instantaneous.
Yeah.
So I think that's really interesting.
I mean, that was to be expected, though.
Jumping, throwing, all of those are BAM.
Yeah,
and I wanted to get Carolyn's opinion on
that because she's been begging for BAM
events.
I begged for BAM events for ten years.
I'm old now.
it means nothing to us could have used
those bam events before yeah uh he i
haven't got to the alexis interview yet he
told alexis there would be five more than
five events on wednesday wow so they're
just they're just cramming them in
probably a bunch of the short ones that's
kind of what we expected though
I was listening to the,
I think it was Quinn Robinson one when
he was talking about all the handstand
stuff and on the rings things.
And Dave was saying to continue to work
what their peers are doing.
Like I'm looking at everyone practicing.
I'm like,
is there a leak that has gone?
Cause like,
like why is everyone doing all of these
moments all of a sudden?
Like more so than any other year.
I'm like, there's,
there's some leaks for sure.
Probably.
Great.
Well, there probably are leaks,
but it's also because it's Tony events and
all of this stuff,
you can't just do your classic CrossFit
training anymore.
You have to try all these weird things.
The pan chicks going to a fire station
and running through the,
the rescue Randy fireman's test.
I would like,
I thought that was really cool to see
them do that.
But that's less leaky of testing stuff
than like other things that you see.
I think like when everyone's doing the
same movement, you're like, Hmm.
What movements are those like all the like
front roll back roll stuff that everyone's
just keeps doing,
but they're doing way more than other
years.
Like we would see the press to handstand
people practice that.
But like all of the roles,
I don't know.
I,
I think that's seems a little bit leaky
to me.
I'm seeing a lot of double under cross,
but I mean, it wouldn't be,
it wouldn't be surprising.
Like how many people have tested these
workouts?
Everyone's friends with people are dating
people that are about,
or let's invite someone's brother to be on
the demo team this year.
Right?
Like it's literally anything.
That's why there's going to be leaks.
CrossFat says, has not been a leak,
but Dave's been sprinkling dumb crumbs
that we all nerd about.
I think it's both.
I think it's both, CrossFat.
I don't think you can say there hasn't
been a leak.
Daniel Arnson, final attempt,
but also want to support.
Jamie say, go blue, or when you win,
you can say,
I just want to thank the University of
Michigan for your four ninety nine.
I'll say go blue for the
Thank you, Daniel.
Oh, that hurts.
CrossFit says he didn't leak it.
I don't think it's HQ anymore.
I think it's all the testers.
Yeah.
I agree.
There's just too many camps,
too many relationships.
Yeah.
It's hard to find people that are good
at testing things that would give you good
data and aren't best friends or training
partners,
significant others of people that are at
the game.
That's really hard to find that.
That's the tough part about the unknown.
To find that person that's fit enough to
test it and isn't attached to a person
or a camp.
You are right, CrossFit.
Savannah Taylor did spend an entire show
figuring out which gymnastics video Dave
is watching.
Maybe pay that tester crazy monies if it
never gets out.
We gonna take that from the prize purse?
Where do we find the money?
We're crying poor.
John won't tell me anything about anything
and I gave birth to him.
John shouldn't know anything.
True.
If he does, that is a problem.
I agree.
Kenneth, if I was HQ,
I'd leak the wrong stuff.
Yeah.
Seth Jumpship,
lots of monkeys see monkey do this time
of year.
If they see a peer with a skill
they don't have,
they start doing that skill to make sure
they don't get left behind.
It can get silly.
I can see that too, for sure.
So with all the breadcrumbs that have been
leaked...
Does this make the games more exciting for
you this year?
And I'm just talking about the elites.
We're going to get into Masters next week,
but... I mean, honestly, I'm not...
I'm not even going to be watching the
elites.
I'm not even excited for the games.
But that's because of your circumstances.
I'm excited for the Tony event.
if you didn't have a teen competing on
the weekend and you weren't competing,
would you be excited for the games?
Yeah.
Yeah.
I'd be excited to see what.
We're going to come up with and how
it all plays out.
I think it's a good field.
I think thirties, the right number.
I think they have good athletes there.
Yes.
I would be, I would be more excited.
I'm super excited.
I think I am more excited for this
year than I've been in the last handful
of years going into the games.
I love, like for me,
they're bringing back some of the most,
the,
my most favorite items are coming back.
Pig, snail, a bike, swim.
I want to see all those things.
Um,
I love everything that's been announced so
far.
I'm more excited this year than other
years for all the little breadcrumbs and
stuff like that.
I just hope it's all just functional.
As much functional as possible.
I don't want it to be any very
gimmicky type
Where it's like,
is this really relevant in a test of
fitness type test?
That's why I'm not a huge fan of
the front row stuff.
I could care less if someone can do
that.
I don't think that that determines fitness
at all.
I really don't.
So I could care less about that.
But if we're going to be swimming,
throwing, biking on a real bike,
jumping over things...
know moving across the field like i love
that i think that's a great test of
fitness go long go short medium um but
i just could do away with some of
the things that like i don't think are
that important in the test of fitness but
with twenty events you can do those type
of things but i just hope it's not
well uh at ai but be real with
me scott is it too many flashy wads
is too many flashy wads bad i'm not
saying i want them all to be flashy
wads
The original hopper workout,
there's nothing flashy about that workout.
Nothing flashy.
It is row, shoulder to overhead,
and pull-ups.
That is it.
But I'm excited to see how much faster
today's athlete can do it from twenty
years ago.
Like, they didn't even do butterfly,
I think, at that point, right?
Like,
most of the athletes were just skipping.
Yeah,
I think that's when Butterfly first
appeared.
Sorry if my internet's horrible.
No,
it's just a little bit of a delay.
I think we're good.
I mean, essentially,
the Butterfly pull-up was invented at the
first ever games.
And Dave talks about it with Janie
Cheveri.
because she trained at OPT,
and there were two Canadians that had come
to the games.
Everybody thought OPT was going to win,
and it was APT that won the games.
I didn't know that that's what James
Fitzgerald was called.
But anyway, yeah,
like that story only gets told when we
get to come back and do this.
I need a spectacle of fitness.
We know the PGA golfers are the best,
but if the course is boring, it sucks.
I have been saying that for a week,
CrossFat,
and people have been hammering me.
I want it to be a spectacle at
the games.
Yeah.
I don't want it to be you get
six tries to be there.
I want it to mean something and to
be a spectacle once you get there.
I do think Dave does a good job
of that.
He thinks about the story on the floor.
He thinks about it being exciting.
He usually thinks about finish lines.
But he doesn't think about the how to
get there story.
Or is not allowed to think about the
how to get there story.
The season is the story.
Yeah.
The games are the culmination of that
story.
And without getting to the climax of the
story,
it's all on the games to pull it
off.
Right.
And that's where everything is missing.
It's like Avera couldn't get through the
beginning of Project Hail Mary because it
was all discombobulated and confusing and
slow.
He never even gave the climax a chance.
And we're doing the same thing with the
CrossFit game season.
It makes no damn sense.
It's discombobulated.
It's all over the map,
and people are giving up on it.
Yeah, that's fair.
March Madness is phenomenal because of the
heartbreaks like Duke-UConn last year.
Yes.
It tells a story.
Sam Briggs, not making the CrossFit Games,
told a story.
Then the next year,
will she make it back?
Becomes a whole new story.
Katrin falling off the rope to then come
back and not only make it to the
Games, but win the Games twice.
That's a story.
Being lovey-dovey and making sure
everybody's happy to get to the games
doesn't set up those storylines.
Sports are cruel.
Getting a red card within half an hour
to go in the match and have to
play one man down to win the game,
that creates a story because sports are
cruel.
We probably wouldn't care about some tall,
nerdy Canadian if it didn't take three
misses for Brent.
Everybody knew who he was when he got
to the games because of the near misses
he had the three years prior.
Yes, Nate Ackerman is a great story.
It's a great story.
But it needs to play out in a
way with the drama.
Are we still talking about CrossFitters?
This turned into the Dr. Ruth show.
We have not talked about love or the
bedroom or anything like that for you.
This is nowhere near Dr. Ruth.
All right.
So I do want to talk briefly about
the swim event.
If we...
And I had a long talk with Jackie
Robinson last night because she was a
former swimmer.
I was a former swimmer.
This whole bit about banning the flip turn
makes absolutely no sense.
Zero sense.
There are probably only two people in the
games field that can do a flip turn
with efficiency enough to even make a bit
of difference.
Most people are going to try a flip
turn and pop straight up out of the
water because they've had to hold their
breath while flipping upside down.
Tessa,
twenty-five meters is not a short
distance.
I swim in twenty-five yard pools,
which are shorter than meters.
all the time.
You own the big meats are the only
place you got to an Olympic sized pool.
I did not streamline kick off the wall
more than a third of the pool.
And I was a good swimmer.
Lucy Campbell and Ty Jenkins might be able
to do that.
Nobody else.
So Justin beat high
But Justin doesn't have technique at the
flip thing.
But at WFP, didn't Justin beat Ty?
But it was a straight, like,
five hundred meter swim.
That'd be different?
Yes.
I think there's a few swimmers that could
do the flip turn, though.
I've watched a lot of CrossFit swimmers,
at most, therefore,
that could do a flipped.
Listen,
I told this story to Jackie last night.
I went to states.
I was favored to win the Pennsylvania
State Championships,
and I missed a flip turn.
And it didn't touch the wall.
I had to backpedal to the wall.
And I was favored to win.
Flip turns are a risk.
Right, I agree with that.
If you're really, really good at them.
You're on mute, Carolyn.
Can you hear me now?
Yep.
Were you saying something?
It looked like you were talking.
I said,
so are rebounding box jump overs and we
don't allow certain athletic people to do
it.
I think that's dumb too.
I think the athlete should choose if they
want to do them or not.
If an athlete can flip turn,
they are going to win no matter what,
simply by more if they can flip turn.
Maybe.
You're right,
because if they can do an efficient flip
turn, they are a damn good swimmer.
And so they're going to win in the
water regardless.
And even if they stop and grab the
wall and push off,
I would contend they would be able to
be more efficient by going under the water
with a streamline kick longer than if they
did a flip turn.
And you may actually be playing into their
hands.
Yeah.
Yes, Eric,
you shouldn't restrict efficiency.
i'm sure it's just a safety thing i'm
sure it was a fight just to even
get a pool involved they're going to keep
it as.
they're going to keep it as clear cut
to be able to see people.
as they can.
The last thing you need is somebody
getting dizzy and turning three quarters
of the way and pushing into the ground
and hitting their head.
That's the last thing we need as a
sport.
I get the diving thing.
I'll give you the diving for safety.
The flip turn doesn't
Anyway, Shelly says,
we rewatched the event with Jordan Trojan,
and he is so much better at the
flip turn than anyone else because he was
a swimmer.
Matt Frazier was training to be an Olympic
weightlifter.
Should he be restricted on how he does
a snatch or a clean and jerk because
he was trained that as a kid?
It's one event.
It's why restrict for one event of twenty?
I mean,
unless they have specific rules for
implementing the pool again,
like maybe these were the restrictions
that they were given.
their first event back in the water it
was like no diving no flip turns just
touch and that's how you can introduce
show us that you can run an event
safely and then maybe the following year
you can kind of increase from there um
what people can do that's that's what what
came to mind for me so the diving
thing for safety makes all the sense in
the world to me
because I don't know how shallow or deep
the water is.
And if they're getting out on both sides
or one side,
we don't know any of those details.
So diving I get.
When I first started swimming,
the starting blocks were in the shallow
end of the pool.
And then the mandate came down for safety
to move them all to the deep ends
of the pools.
So every pool had to move the starting
blocks.
around to the deep end.
So I get,
because I think when I was at Legends,
when you were there, Jamie,
that was a shallow end of the pool
that everybody was diving in on.
You would get out,
do the kettlebell or the dumbbell,
whatever it was.
It was deep there.
Like, I'm not even sure I could touch.
Yeah, but you're only four foot two.
Fair.
Anyway, by the way,
Dave still has time to self-correct the
course of this swimming event.
He just has to listen.
I think we just need to be thankful
that we are getting swimming at all.
At the end of the day,
Lucy Campbell's going to win.
And Ty Jenkins is going to be up
towards the front.
And there's going to be one or two
other swimmers that are in the mix.
And everybody else is going to be fighting
for those other medium spots.
It's one event.
And if the safety team said not to
do it, I don't want to.
I get it.
If it changes how much they had to
pay in insurance, I get it.
But just to say it gives a competitive
advantage is not a good reason to give.
I would rather them say, hey,
it's for safety reasons.
I agree.
Or hey, it's for insurance reasons.
Right.
I'm surprised that he's pushing that
angle.
Because if that is the only reason,
that is weird.
I mean,
I feel like we're trying to give him
the benefit of the doubt that it's a
safety thing.
And I think he should just play into
that.
Like, hey, we have swimming back.
This is where we're starting.
This is how we're starting it.
And we're going to pray that everything
goes smooth so we can amp it up
next year.
At least someone from Australia is
probably good,
and some unknown will have secretly been a
D-I swimmer.
Probably.
But I did learn that just because you're
from Australia doesn't mean you're a good
swimmer.
It's only people from a certain area of
Australia.
Hey, we just brought it back,
so we want a good test safely.
Agreed.
If they would have said that,
I'd be okay with it.
But if you had something on ice and
said, well,
Carolyn can't use her own skates because
that's an advantage, it's dumb.
Yeah.
I mean, I still think like,
if you did that,
like you can't use your own skates,
everyone has used the same skates.
The best skaters will still win
regardless.
It just takes away the advantage that you
have.
Um,
I mean,
the one year they gave us fins to
swim, that only helped the good swimmers.
It did not help me.
I was still, I think,
last out of the water.
One of the last ones out of the
water because I didn't know how to
properly use them.
Fergie, this is a misnomer.
The Aussies don't all do the ocean rescue
program.
I learned this through the Dave Castro
interviews.
It's only people from a certain area of
Australia.
Ellie Turner is not a good swimmer and
never did the rescue thing.
And I think there was another person that
talked about, Bailey Martin maybe,
talked about not being from that area as
well.
It was also weird because Bailey seems
like he's not real tight with Jay Crouch
and Ricky.
I think they're just from different areas
of Australia.
Yeah.
It'd be like being from California and
Ohio.
You never see each other.
You never run into each other.
Ellie looks like she sinks like a rock.
Well,
muscle sinks like that is a known thing.
So a lot of these CrossFit athletes are
going to have an issue with sinking.
I would take Carolyn over Bailey in a
swim event.
You sure about that?
I don't know about that.
They may want to fit.
Rethink that of air.
I don't think you've seen me swim before.
Fergie says Canadian should get a two
second headstart swimming.
Not enough.
Pat and Carolyn need at least ten seconds.
So what are what is the Chrome?
Yeah, I don't.
Yeah, I think she's decent.
She was good at WFP, right?
I don't remember where she finished in
that.
I think so.
What is your favorite tidbit that's been
dropped?
Maybe the snail or the pig.
I like seeing those.
Carolyn,
do you have a favorite crumb that's been
dropped?
Not really,
but I just like in the interviews when
he said to like,
plenty of people will have opportunities
to shine in terms of like maybe some
I don't know,
explosive things or athletic things.
So I'm very curious on what those are.
Um,
that's what gets me a little bit more
excited about the stuff.
Um, but then just seeing, I don't know,
a regular bike, uh,
that I've always liked the pig.
I grew up in hockey doing a lot
of like, tire flips and stuff like that,
which is like the same leg drive
technique.
So I like that I've never had the
opportunity to try the snail.
It looks horrible.
But yeah, excited for that.
Those kind of cool implements to be added.
What I love about the snail is it's
like slow motion excitement.
Like everybody's trying to get to that
finish line.
And it's just going like so slow.
And there was like,
there was a team event where it came
down like the last five meters and people
got overtaken in those last five meters.
It was brilliant.
Favorite tidbit,
Dave saying several events on one day will
be instantaneous,
meaning quick like a softball throw.
I don't think we're getting a softball
throw.
I don't know.
That doesn't really excite me.
The throw I want is the med ball.
Who do you want to see throw?
I just said,
I want to see people throw in general.
Cause a lot of the people that I've
watched online don't look like they can
throw ball or have thrown many balls
before.
I'd mentioned earlier in the week that I
wanted to see the med ball GHD throw.
And then someone sent me the reel of
that event.
It was really a cool event.
I'd like to do the,
that sandbag toss over like the,
like the strong man stuff.
Like Rogue has that sandbag.
I'd like to see something like that for
some explosive power.
I don't know how hype plays it.
I think hype would play a little bit
of an advantage though on that.
But it is what it is.
I think that would be cool.
Tyson Bajan is going to be there.
Maybe they're throwing a football.
I did double check.
Camp starts on Sunday.
Yeah, I was going to text you that.
I had looked at that too.
So he is available Wednesday through
Saturday.
And actually first practice isn't even
until Monday.
So he just has to get there Sunday
night.
Yeah.
It was like first year,
like all the rookies are start on like
Wednesday or something, but that was it.
I was like, oh yeah,
he won't be needed until,
and he's not allowed to go to those.
He tries,
like I've heard him say in interviews,
he tried,
he wants to be at all the practices
to just soak in everything.
Yeah.
But he is like,
like not allowed by the NFL to be
at those practices.
No better place to take your mind off
it than the CrossFit Games.
Indiana Bear Star.
Probably never happen.
And if it does, I don't even care.
I don't live there.
And hey,
I talked to Eric Mackey this week.
I have my Packer tickets all lined up.
Packers Bears, week five.
Front row end zone because of my guy,
Eric Mackey, the man.
I am so excited for that.
I hope it's football.
If you think people are bad at throwing
a softball,
football is way more complicated than
way more complicated would it be for
distance or for accuracy would there be
like a little circle it would have to
be for distance distance just get it out
there well you couldn't have it for
accuracy because jason hopper would have
an advantage and we can't allow the former
college football player to have an
advantage would the roll count or would
they mark it right where it hits
would have to be where it hits i
in my opinion that's what track and field
does right wherever your discus or shot
put lands you don't get the roll or
the or whatever uh travels less far so
it won't look as bad but when they
throw larry when they throw the duck
that it's like spinning sideways or
instead of a spiral it's gonna look so
bad so bad it would look horrible ricky
could surprise you with some aussie roll
skill he could
And really football is an American sport.
So it would be kind of a disadvantage
to the world to throw a football because
even though Australia has Australian
rules, football and rugby,
the balls are different shapes and sizes.
So.
And you throw it differently too.
Right.
Wobbling.
Yeah.
I mean,
they don't want the athletes to look bad,
right?
Are you sure about that?
There are things that they do that I
really question that.
At the games,
you think there are things that have made
the athletes look bad?
I think they are not showcasing.
You cannot put the masters.
We all have our thoughts about the masters
programming.
You think the crossover Dumbledore's made
us look awesome?
I'm not saying – oh,
you're saying at the elites.
Yeah, even at the elites, yes.
Yeah,
but look how good people are at crossover
double-unders now.
And that's another point of why would you
restrict athletes.
Nick Matthew and Daniel Brandon could kill
them.
Why should they be penalized because they
were good at crossover double-unders?
What made the athletes look silly were the
single-unders.
That too,
when they first did the freestanding
handstand pushup, it didn't look awesome.
Yep,
ring handstand pushups didn't look
awesome.
Yeah,
that is my least favorite workout ever
from the CrossFit Games.
By far, least favorite.
I think Dave said at one point,
maybe years ago,
that he didn't like the standard that they
came up with on that ring handstand
pushups,
and he wasn't sure that they would ever
see that again.
Good.
I don't ever want to see it again.
I thought that would...
And it was so high and like...
You know,
Kipping It Real had a meme this week
where all the different events that Dave
comes up with, they're like,
what about the athlete safety?
F them.
We're going to bury them.
Like, boom, boom.
And then they're like, hey,
we're going in the swim.
Hey,
we need to make sure that they don't
dive.
We need to make sure that they don't
do flips.
And then the next event, hey,
we're going upside down,
fifty meters in the air.
Oh, F them.
Let's bury them.
It was a great meme.
It was a great meme.
The best metaphor I heard was not letting
gymnasts glide.
Kip is the same as flip turn.
Gymnasts are still good.
I don't know how I feel about that.
um the good swimmers are going to win
regardless if it's a and dave did say
swimming will matter this time unlike the
ski erg swim yeah so
As long as swimming matters,
the good swimmers are going to win
regardless.
I just think it's a stupid rule with
the flip turn because it'll sort out the
good people and the bad people.
And if you're not good at it,
you shouldn't be trying it anyway.
I agree.
And you should be penalized for a dumb
decision if you try it.
I just like that the first event of
the games is not a long distance run,
roll, whatever,
because you always give the advantage to
the same athletes to start the weekend
with some confidence with a leader's
jersey or just like doing well on the
leaderboard.
Like this is a straight up CrossFit event
to do the first workout.
And I think it's going to allow different
people to start their weekend off with
good momentum.
And that's like the games is a long
test, but it's a head game.
Like there's so much mental component to
staying in it and being confident.
And when you start off being like dead
last or like close to the back end,
it can really affect the rest of your
day or weekend.
So I'm excited that it's something
CrossFit to start.
Like I know swimming is going to be
most likely I think on the Wednesday,
but maybe later on.
So you're saying Pat, it's Pat's here.
Is that what you're saying?
Pat's here.
Come on, Pat.
Uncle Pat.
Pat's that last team in the field of
sixty-eight who thinks they have a shot
against UConn in the finals.
Pat's always going to bet on himself.
I would love to see it, honestly.
But my question to you is,
we have sixty athletes going to do the
original hopper.
They now can butterfly.
It's one hundred twenty five pull ups
overall.
It's what, six per round,
thirty shouldered overhead.
How many of the sixty athletes go
unbroken?
I don't I think especially for the females
with it being eighty five pounds,
it's just like if I were to do
one hundred and twenty five for time,
I'm not doing them in sets of twenty
five.
It's like I just don't know that that
many are going to go,
especially for the females,
unbroken because that bar is even lighter
for the females,
which means they're going back even
quicker to the bar and just doing sets
of twenty fives.
And I don't know that it's going to
be worth it to do unbroken the whole
time, at least for the females.
I don't.
I think for the men,
a lot of them can and a lot
of them maybe will.
I think on the female side, less,
less so.
Yeah.
Do you have a number just over under
how many total athletes out of the city?
I don't even think half the women will
go unbroken.
Yeah, I agree.
Not half the women.
I think the first three rounds you're
going to see a lot of unbroken.
I think that's the whole field.
Twenty will not be in the whole field.
But the thing is, is like,
you can walk slowly.
You can chalk up to go and do
an unbroken set.
It doesn't mean that that was any faster
than someone that can jog,
do a set of fifteen, come down,
do a set of ten.
Like if you're transitioning faster and
hopping up on the bar,
like it really doesn't mean much if you're
going to wait around so that you can
go unbroken.
So like, can you go unbroken?
Yes.
Is it better?
I don't know,
because if you're able to push that
transition,
Well,
Dave is Dave had tie on when that
was announced and ties like everybody's
going on broken.
So that's why I wanted to ask you
as athletes, I'm not saying,
are they capable?
I'm saying how many will go unbroken for
that workout?
Because I'm sure that some people have the
strategy.
It's with one quick break is better than
going unbroken.
A hundred percent.
I think that's,
what's going to end up happening.
I think fewer will go unbroken than people
think.
I do think, yeah, I think they're capable.
I don't.
Daniel says, twenty-five plus men,
fifteen-ish women.
Ten to fifteen total, says Eric.
Make an easy, quick break in later rounds.
That's probably what it'll be.
Ten to fifteen total people will go
unbroken.
That's what I think.
Yeah.
I just think that they're going to push
the transition, hop on the bar quickly,
come down, and then just continue.
versus resting a little bit more so that
they can go unbroken.
Like, it's not a matter of,
like you said, if they can do it,
it's if that's the right strategy.
So Ty said that in response to Dave,
as it was announced,
Tessa saying Quinn said the same thing.
So that's why I'm putting it out there.
Cause I, I just was like, I,
and when they were saying that, I'm like,
is that the smart way to go?
Quinn said the same thing,
like that people would just people can do
it unbroken.
People would go unbroken.
Do you think that they're just like
baiting there?
Could could be baiting,
but then if the transitions are long,
then that actually helps to go unbroken.
if the transition of where you moved your
bar is closer to the rig,
your ability to recover now gets like,
you have to go back on the bar
faster.
But if,
if you actually make that bar move up
the floor more,
that actually helps for the unbroken.
So it really depends on the layout.
If they go on the same type of
flooring that they did before for the
hopper, if they're going to,
or like where they did the reloaded
version,
if it's going to be at the same
pretty small moving forward,
But, yeah,
the further they increase the barbell,
the more I think you would see unbroken.
Shelly says it's the first workout,
though.
They're going to have a ton of adrenaline.
That's where you have to be the smartest.
Agreed.
I'm sure they're all testing this one and
figuring it out.
So, I mean,
this seems like one that Colton would have
figured that out.
Is it better to break once or even
twice really quickly?
Yeah.
Especially if you're trying to run the
transitions.
It's also your time to make a statement
to get in that last game.
I mean,
those bars are not the same as the
ones that they normally go on Rogic if
they're using the old bars that were
there.
How high are they?
Those also impact the breaks that you'll
want to make.
I think you're going to get some people
try to go unbroken because they want to
get in that last heat as quickly as
possible.
And I don't know how they're seeding
because the way people got there this year
was all over the map.
Are they going to draw them out of
a hat to put them in heats?
Or are they going to do it alphabetically
like I heard some people do?
Do we know if they're using the original
rig?
I don't even know.
We don't even know where.
True.
We don't know if it's at the ranch,
if it's at Morgan Hill,
if it's at the Red Barn.
Yeah, because like I said,
if the height of it's different,
like as a female athlete,
if you have to jump very high every
time,
then you're looking to hold on to the
bar longer because that extra jump or
transition plays a role.
So it depends on the layout a lot.
I think will also matter for strategies.
A good point by CrossFit.
Dave didn't say we couldn't flip turn in
that event.
Last year's seeding was by open finish.
That is correct because Tia had to go
in the back of the run because of
her open finish.
I think that's a reasonable standard to
use.
Make the open matter again.
Agree.
There's other ways to make it matter even
more, but we're not doing that.
So we really only know one event,
which is the original hopper.
The rest are all just tidbits.
We do know that the hopper,
they're going to try to be transparent
about it,
and they're going to show what balls go
into the hopper before they are.
Nice.
That's exciting.
Dave said to Ariel that he doesn't want
it to look rigged.
So they want to show all the balls
that go into the hopper to show that
they are truly going to pull a workout
out.
Oh, my gosh.
I see Bernie corrected it,
but this is incredible.
How about using open order proceeding?
That's freaking genius.
Yeah, I'm up in the three hundred level.
know that's not what you meant but i
like it and shoot that would make the
open matter for well then you probably get
more cheating yeah true because i want a
close seat at the yeah at the games
uh why would you want them to rig
it kenneth then why even have it if
you're gonna let them rig it then they
just should write the workout
Agreed.
It should not be rigged.
I'm excited to see how this plays out.
I do not want them to rig it.
They should use the accounting office of
Ernst & Young like the draft that
definitely wasn't fixed.
Carolyn's hopping more than the Easter
Bunny tonight.
The internet here is always very bad.
All right,
so let's talk about he did say there
was gonna be a handful of repeats.
So a handful is at least five in
one of the interviews that he did.
He did.
Do you like that many repeats?
Okay, some but not too too many.
Or maybe it was a handful of scores
that were fifty points.
I can't remember which one it was.
He said a handful of repeats.
Okay, yeah, that as well.
We have one so far.
To me,
because he said there's going to be a
handful of repeats and a lot of stuff
that will look similar to what we've done
but modified.
My thing with the repeats is it all
depends on what you're repeating.
If you repeat strongman's fear,
I'm all for it.
But you repeat the ring muscle up,
ring push up,
Fiasco, not for it.
So yeah.
I just, I'm excited.
But the fact that there's twenty events
and we know one.
We truly only know one even though all
this little bit has been leaked out.
I like that.
I don't want them to know it.
I don't want, like someone else said,
I don't want them practicing this hopper
repeat and figuring out the best strategy.
I want to see...
gets tied up into trying to you know
like now they know what to do they
know exactly how to get the best time
i don't love that i don't mind like
one or two of those where you everybody
is at their best and they all come
at and you see who's the best but
i do like the surprise and you have
to figure it out on the fly i
think it should be a combination of
everything
I'm okay if they repeat the wheelbarrow.
I don't know where you would do it
because we don't have the tennis stadium
anymore.
But as long as they don't buy it
at Home Depot before the games.
That everyone is talking about these
mysteries is a win of itself.
Yes.
Yes.
I want to see some struggling and figuring
it out.
I want to see some too,
but it doesn't have to be all twenty
events.
Like if you're going to bring back the
softball throw,
let people practice a little bit.
Because even with two weeks of practice,
they're not going to get to where the
best throwers are.
Wheelbarrow down Barack Obama.
Haven't had a lot of mentions about Barack
Obama this week on the interviews.
But he did say some of the stuff
at the venue were going to be outside.
So that too.
So before we head out for the night,
there's also the WFP Tour Stop II
qualifiers going on as we speak.
Our very own Carolyn,
is she still planning on doing them?
Yeah,
I did all three of them yesterday just
to finish them up.
Just because I want to get to just
regular training.
I like that there was only three of
them.
Like versus having sometimes four or five
or sometimes people even put six qualifier
work.
And it's like just three, great.
So I did all three of them yesterday.
I might redo this one.
I did terrible on this one.
So total minute AMRAP, thirty thrusters,
thirty pull-ups.
I know I like this combo quite a
bit.
Twenty-five thrusters, thirty pull-ups.
That was also a third one I did
yesterday.
Twenty thrusters, thirty pull-ups.
And then AMRAP thrusters for the remaining
time.
Do you like AMRAPs for qualifiers?
Yeah, they're fine.
In a version like this,
this would be a good open or quarterfinal
workout, even.
You know,
increasing weight and then the strong
people.
You also have to be fit to make
it far.
I thought this was a good workout.
Two is thirty deadlifts,
sixty forty-eight calorie row,
thirty deadlifts.
Really?
Carolyn, do you like this workout?
That was the first one I did.
This one was pretty good for me.
And then ten rounds for time,
fifteen GHDs,
nine strict handstand pushups,
three and two rope climb.
I love this workout.
I'm just not fast on like GHDs and
even strict handstand pushups.
Like my cycle is just not fast,
but it was fun to do.
Yeah.
So I did, I did number two,
then number three.
And then I finished with the thruster pull
up one.
My legs are really sore today.
And that's day two.
Cause yesterday they were a little bit
sore and they're more sore today.
I think it was all just from the
thrusters.
And so your goal was to get them
out of the way as soon as possible
so you could get back to games training?
Yeah.
Which is so different this year,
training for the games,
because in the past,
when I'm training for the games,
I'm training kind of like these other
games athletes where you're doing a lot of
field work stuff.
You're doing a lot of odd object,
yokes and sandbags and this and that and
pirouettes and everything that you can
think of.
But I'm like, masters is not like that.
Like,
I don't think we'll see much of that
at all.
So it's not as fun, I guess,
training for the masters as it was as
an individual.
Like,
there's just so many more things that
they'll test the individuals that they
just won't do the masters because you have
to do a workout and kind of trickle
down to all the divisions.
So there's only so many cool things you
can do.
So let me ask you this.
Dave asked Ariel if she was going to
go into the Masters division when she got
the .
And they talked about how in the early
days, like Rich skipped it,
Matt skipped it.
A lot of those early athletes skipped it.
And now all of a sudden,
we're getting a resurgence.
Like last year, Graham Holmberg did it.
Scott Pancheck did it.
He's doing it again this year.
You have Noah Olsen and Travis Mayer
joining.
And that's just on the men's side.
You got Mackenzie Riley and Carolyn and
Kelly Clark and a lot of athletes doing
it on the women's side as well.
Do you think that there's a lack of
participation because the...
the Masters events are not the cool events
that you got to do when you were
an elite.
Like,
it's no different than going and doing
Wadapalooza or Crash Crucible or any other
– or MFC during the year.
The games don't have those special –
toys to play with or the special things
to make it that step up in that
spectacle for the masters athletes.
I mean,
I think that's a new phenomenon is the
problem.
I think they're,
they're shooting themselves in the foot
with the way they split us off.
Cause that wasn't the case.
Like at three, they got to do that.
Jerry can carry like they,
they used to take, it used to.
Yeah.
Like in Madison.
Yes.
On the North park.
It was different.
It was different.
And there was a little bit more
cohesiveness within the programming.
because it was all from the CrossFit Games
team.
Now they've kind of outsourced that
programming and it's in a different venue.
They can have completely different tests.
I mean,
we think that there's going to be a
completely different test between the
teenagers and the masters.
So like this teenager test is testing for
the fittest on earth.
This master's different,
completely different test is going to be
our test of the fittest on earth.
And then you have the individuals which
have their tests.
Like it's kind of,
weird that it's not as cohesive.
But I think the games when I was
in Madison was a little bit more like
they did have a little bit more cooler
things like being outdoors for the masters
and stuff.
I'm just not sure we'll see that in
San Jose.
I hate the fact that it's being programmed
by a separate entity.
And there's no tie.
And there's no tie to a story from
the open forward.
It's like you go along with the CrossFit
storyline.
As bad as it was this year,
it was the CrossFit storyline.
And then all of a sudden you veer
off into a different book.
You read the first ten chapters of The
Martian and then you go finish Project
Hail Mary.
bringing us full circle back to the
beginning of the show.
Yeah.
I mean, it's, yeah,
it's like going and doing any legends or
MFC or any camp.
It's what's different here.
I think it,
I think it does take some of the
appeal away.
Andrew senses.
I don't,
I think Madison was the only time it
was like that.
I don't think the events were so on
Carson.
I disagree to us.
They weren't identical,
but you still had the age group athletes
on the soccer stadium floor with the big
transitions using some of the same
apparatus is they did at,
in the elite level,
the stuff was already there.
It's not a,
it's not a new cost of money.
because the items are already there.
This year you had that opportunity because
all of that equipment is already there.
You're not shipping in anything new.
It was similar in Carson Andrew tracking
and the football field,
but like toned down.
Yeah.
And I'm like,
you ran the berm as a masters athlete
or a teen athlete,
just like the elite athletes.
Yep.
There it is.
CrossFit.
I think masters even ran the berm.
They did.
But there's the last couple of years it's
been like inside a convention center and
essentially not as creative or for the,
for the event.
So like when I'm training for the games
right now, I'm,
have that in mind i guess maybe we'll
have some cool things i hope we have
cool things but i just don't my
expectations aren't to have those things
that were like in madison for the masters
or in carson but i could be wrong
i hope i'm wrong so joey says i
doubt bob and joe even know what might
have access to because they're not looped
in on the indie programming implements
that's a problem huge huge problem
And then Andrew says, Joey,
they won't have access to the same
equipment since they're in different
venues.
It is close enough that you don't have
to ship it.
If you truly wanted them to do a
different version of the test,
it's just down the street.
My guess is they're not.
Same ticket, everything.
I know it's how age group would be
like the teenagers have a completely
different test than the masters.
Like that to me is, is weird.
Why is there a test of like,
I get that the masters are not going
to do events like the individuals.
Do I think we should have some events
that are similar or, you know,
scaled down for masters?
Sure.
But like for the teenagers to have,
let's say a completely different test of
fitness than us, it's just weird.
I'm assuming right now that they're
completely different because they have
been,
or at least they were when they were
in two different venues before.
But like if the teenagers are getting
their events sent out right now,
you would assume that if masters were
doing the same,
we would also get tagged in on that.
But so now I'm just like looking at
what the events are and I'm just trying
to see, okay, there's a skier.
Okay.
There's a, there's a row, you know,
you're just kind of looking at,
or the implements that are getting
released for the teenagers,
assuming because we're in the same venue,
what we'll have access to.
But it's just weird that we have a
completely different test.
I truly hate that.
To me,
if you're not going to run a coordinated
games...
then just let the Masters go do its
own thing.
Agreed.
Through its own avenue.
There's no connection anymore.
Correct.
And if that's the decision they make,
then fine.
Let it go all in and let everybody
that is competing in that know the facts
up front.
Yeah, because you sold us on, oh,
it's the twenty-eighth anniversary,
we're going to all be back together.
And then, no, just kidding.
Because the seven hundred and fifty
dollars that in the Masters athlete has to
pay to compete for the whole season.
It'd be nice to know ahead of time
whether that is something they even wanted
to participate in before that happens.
I think what's missed by not doing it
is do you remember how much fun when
they did the swim ski and everybody did
the same workout and you could look and
see how
if a forty-five-year-old beat an elite
athlete.
And that was really, really cool.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That was awesome.
And we've lost that completely.
I didn't like that.
I was like, darn,
all these people are beating me.
They weren't always different, Tristan.
A lot of times it was a scaled
version of something that the elites had
done.
And early, like, seventeen, eighteen,
they were much more similar.
Yeah.
And the teenagers and the age group at
least had the same test.
Right.
Like,
I just think it's weird to not have
the same test as the teenagers in a
different scaled version, you know,
the weights or whatnot.
But like, it should be the same test.
we're in the same venue.
Like, why is that test or test?
Like at the end of the weekend,
you're going to look at it and be
like, Oh,
I wish we had that test of the,
for the, our test of the fit,
the fittest or vice versa.
Right.
Well, in every,
they didn't do the same number of tests,
which makes sense.
Yeah.
And they didn't do the,
the workout may have been scaled for the
masters divisions, which makes sense,
but it still had the same look and
feel when they did do the same.
Um,
So think they might have the Rhino
machine?
No.
I am betting that Xenon probably made it
an exclusive tool for their event with
Rogue, a deal.
I doubt that.
I think if CrossFit wanted to use the
Rhino machine, they could.
I don't think that Xenon would have an
exclusive.
I bet you they do for a couple
years.
Why not?
Rogue doesn't do that many CrossFit
competitions.
And they're a partner.
They're an actual partner with Xenon.
They're not a partner with the CrossFit
Games.
They're just a sponsor.
But wouldn't that help them sell the Rhino
even more?
Like, to get even more eyes?
I think making it...
more scarce and and not everybody has them
makes people if you want to do the
rhino you got to come to a xenon
i'm sure it'll be at their booth and
maybe but i don't think that they'll use
it yeah so
But CrossFit,
Rogue's saying that they're the, well,
that's not what I wanted.
Rogue is the official equipment provider,
but Xenon, they are a financial partner.
That's a whole different level.
So, and I don't,
from what I saw of it,
I'm not sure it's a great test right
now.
think it needs they need to like make
a a standard for it that's a little
more clear um and so if if i'm
the crossfit games i don't want the rhino
right now work out the bugs and then
we'll see about it in a year or
two well
That's all we got tonight, folks.
Don't forget,
any Super Chat goes to these lovely ladies
and their trip to San Jose.
And we're going to do that for one
more week.

I'll have shirts in.
And we can worry about that.
I've had some inquiries about the shirts
already.
I will have some at the games with
me,
and we will have a way to order
them before that,
as long as they get here in time.
and um and yeah so for one more
week we are going to do super chats
for the ladies and i'm thinking about
putting together a prize pack and drawing
everybody who donated to jamie and carolyn
and drawing out a name and you'll get
a prize pack of some stuff i have
that is clydesdale media merchandise and
maybe and including a one or two of
the new shirts
