We are here,
and I have a special guest.
Look at him.
Dex Hopkins, next.
what is going on everybody welcome to
sunday sunday sunday night crossfit talk i
am here with dex hopkins because my normal
co-hosts were a little busy today just a
little tiny tiny tiny bit uh miss carolyn
punched her ticket to the masters crossfit
games this afternoon after a dominating
performance at the legends my god
Drop kicked her ticket.
Only by, you know,
thirty-something points.
Yeah.
Crushed it.
And then, regretfully, Jamie, four points.
Oh, brother.
I just saw it.
Oh, no.
If you watch the race,
she came in second by a half a
step on the final lunge.
Those four points would have tied her for
third.
She would have won the tiebreaker.
She literally missed out on her game's
ticket by a half a step.
Wow.
Such is CrossFit year to year.
That'll be a good training year for her,
boy.
I could not be prouder of her.
She is a tiny human being.
And to go into that Legends programming
and to almost get her ticket through the
least conceivable way possible and put up
that performance was phenomenal.
Yeah, she's a dog.
She's a dog.
She'll have nothing to hang her head about
about that because she knew that going in
and was taking just swings.
So, yeah, nothing to hang her head about.
I compare her to Colton.
Like, they have the home runs,
and they can overcome a lot.
But when you're in a long weekend,
it just takes the toll on you.
Yeah.
Well, especially there, man.
I love Del Mar.
That is, like,
hollow ground to me because, I mean,
just for loving the game as long as
I have, seeing them do stuff there.
Yeah.
know regardless of what it's been all
weekend or how you had to see it
grainy footage secondhand stream or
instagram follow-up i was excited when
they announced it and so seeing people on
that floor again just takes me back to
fun memories yeah we'll get into all the
action at legends but first don't forget
to like and subscribe to the channel
We appreciate each and every one of you.
A couple quick announcements.
I've been releasing because Masters have
gone this weekend.
They're going to go again next weekend in
person.
I've been releasing a live episode from
the twenty twenty five games every day for
members only.
And then seventy two hours after its
release, it will go live to everybody.
The first one went live today to
everybody.
and it's like that every day moving
forward and uh so check those out and
don't forget to check out hattie behind
the scenes of the five games all of
the episodes are live it's a great story
um it didn't end the way she wanted
to but the capture was really good and
i'm really proud of it so go check
that out people in the in the chat
are asking what are you up to these
days
Dude,
we had our first weightlifting meet
Saturday.
While everybody's transitioning to
endurance and running ultras and bike
rides and high rocks, this and that,
love those things.
Never made me feel too terribly sexy or
dangerous,
so Dexter leaned into the other things.
And after my last games trip, dude,
being able to use both my wrists,
I was very hungry to put things over
my head.
And so did been doing weightlifting,
my buddy Dame program for me up until
that two week period we were talking about
where I started working and moving and
doing media full time this year has been
awesome.
But boy,
I've been at every high rocks since
Phoenix.
And I've seen a lot of running in
circles and sled pushes and pulls and all
the things, which has been great,
but have not touched a barbell in two
weeks.
And then that being my first experience,
I had no clue like what that game
is.
And apparently there's playing cards and
all these things and
I have buddies who do it.
I guess I've just never done the just
breadth and depth of what that game is.
But it's very cool.
It's local.
It's at Wheelhouse Academy.
My buddy Lewin's gym is a good show.
Masters, you know, Masters is still .
I'm a good .
So Dexter will be cutting weight because
while you're strong in CrossFit because
you're large and I can get away with
it on teams, weight classes are different.
But it was fun, man.
So doing that,
getting married in November to a lovely
lady,
Her name's Lindsey.
She's in the other room doing spreadsheets
as she lives in the Matrix.
We just bought a house.
We're still in Birmingham.
Daughters are happy and healthy.
I'm the same.
And so very blessed and lucky and just
living life, man.
Jeremy says, wait,
this isn't Marcus Hendren?
I wish I had the residual country strength
and fitness of Marcus Hendren.
He actually just disappeared, didn't he?
He did.
Yeah, he lives near me.
That's what I know.
He was up there with you guys.
I mean, he was in our region.
And, like, he set it on fire for,
like, two years and then disappeared.
He was the original farm guy, Colton,
except tall.
Yeah, much taller.
But he was a dog because he was
in the thick of Central East when it
was Central East.
So you're also doing some stuff for Brute.
Do you want to share that?
Yeah, yeah,
still remote coaching for Brute, man,
which –
You know,
I think every weekend we could say it's
been a good weekend.
I know Mayhem was a weird start,
but Emma Lawson's a dog.
Hattie's with us now,
who I texted you that weekend, like,
first time I met her, dude, like,
just a pleasure.
Energy is next level.
And she was really good at moving through
difficult things.
Like,
still had her little light shine and
didn't get down too much.
And my best friend coaches her, Jessica,
my best friend since I was eight years
old, so love him.
She's in good hands.
um but yeah still with brute man love
the boys uh brand's doing well baby
weekend to weekend so it's uh it's been
good yeah pumping out those champions you
know it's uh we got a lot of
t-shirts so if they mostly how they feel
on them you know we bring extras
All right,
so let's get into Legends for this
weekend.
I've got a little agenda for us to
go down through.
First,
it started with a bunch of craziness.
I talked about it on my lunch show
last week.
There was a lot of talk about everything
that was going on.
Friday morning,
the stream was not working well.
By Friday evening,
it was like a crystal clear picture for
me.
Yeah.
On Flo Lee.
My only complaint rest of the weekend was
the app is just slow.
It was nothing about the coverage or
whatever.
And the people doing the coverage,
the Savon team,
that was two floors was a lot.
Yeah.
Like,
that's spreading your team pretty thin.
Well, man,
we learned that at the Masters games they
had in Birmingham.
And, like, make no mistake,
them having an in-person Masters semifinal
–
Love that, right?
Like you said on the show the other
day,
we're never going back to regionals for
very obvious monetary reasons.
But I think having an in-person show for
Masters,
and there's several people in the space
that say that's the lifeblood of the sport
and these things, could not agree more,
especially after that trip we did.
But them having an in-person, love that.
I think the rest of the things are
working out.
I know Flow Elite's been in the game
of that forever.
They used to cover Waterpalooza.
And when I got into grappling stuff,
they do a good job covering that.
Having two floors in the same way they
had at Birmingham seemed impossible to
cover.
I don't think they were covering much of
anything that year anyway.
But yeah, two floors is a wild show,
especially with the good memories of being
it was just that one floor,
all the heats.
And I know it's not as doable when
you have that many divisions at that
level, right?
Because everybody's trying to punch a
ticket in every division.
And when you have masters and elites,
it's a million.
But I give everybody the benefit of the
doubt.
At least they were trying.
If we got it looking like an Etch-A-Sketch
for a little while, that's okay.
So I'll skip ahead a little bit because
I want to get back into elites.
But when it comes to masters,
I have argued that we should cut down
the age groups that do the in-person till
we figure it out.
I agree.
Would you say swing the in-person to like
the younger crowds or the older crowds?
The younger.
I say third because fifty percent of the
open is thirty five to forty nine.
right they're the ones that have paid for
all this if we're going to do it
for them they get the rewards of that
and if and if you can see like
more participation up to fifty four i
might go that far but i think you
consolidate it down to where you can
actually put on a show that people can
watch and the length of the show right
like the length of the show yeah
I agree.
And I mean, now, I mean,
I remember when it was like blast for
me to talk about people moving from elite
to masters.
Like, I mean, you know,
cause Rich will never do it,
which is fine,
but like seeing Scott and Samuel do it
forever, I think.
And I think he was just doing class
this year at his gym, which is awesome.
And he'll always be a monster when he
wants to be,
but seeing like Scott and his wife do
it, people like that.
Like, I don't, I don't hate that idea.
Like,
I don't think anybody's put out by that.
And honestly,
the age groups that didn't get invited
were probably much better sleep in their
bed anyway and do semifinals.
Cause I know I valued that the year
I did it.
Well,
and if it gets to a point where
there's enough participation,
then we'll find a way at that point.
But you've got to figure it out first.
And then the other thing is Noah Olsen
announced this weekend he's going for the
Masters gold.
I don't know if Dancheck and Sam Dancer
have something to say about that.
Love that.
Love that.
If Noah's in the shape,
I know him to stay in at an
eighty-five percent year.
It's a different race now, boys.
But, you know, Noah's a dog, man.
I hated, like, when he stepped away.
But, I mean, he kept doing other stuff,
so he stayed in space.
And, like, I know his heart for it.
And so he's always a pleasure to have
around.
So at any capacity, when he's there,
it's a better show.
So I do think that there's going to
be a pretty good spotlight on that .
Yeah.
I think, I mean, also like you're saying,
when they show that there's more
participation in that age group,
if you go down some age groups,
the stuff they've done at like the pit
with the teens,
because like regardless of the games or
not,
even before they brought it into them,
like Brock was putting on an amazing show
for those kids.
And it was,
and I've been a few times at his
gym before they had to outsource it.
I mean,
there's no amount of porta potties to
cover these parents and teenagers that
showed up like, and it was just,
it was so good.
It stressed out the infrastructure they
had laid out, but it's a, yeah,
I mean,
I agree with the swinging it up and
down.
Like,
I think the fatigue on like the show
of it, you know,
it gets a little crazy,
same kind of thing at Waterpalooza when
you have every age group of every
division, just it's a show all day.
And so, yeah.
You know,
people want to see who they want to
see.
I think everybody else should have.
I mean,
they do have the option this year to
stay at home,
but I think a lot of people would
rather go in person outside of like fifty
plus people.
CrossFit says Noah already kind of moves
like a Masters athlete.
Eric, Scott for CEO.
I don't want that gig.
He does.
He secretly does.
Can you imagine Scott Scott's rants on the
lunch show if he was the CEO?
Yeah.
Bring up profile pictures on LinkedIn of
people that work for CrossFit.
We actually just fired her.
Yeah,
rant about myself and the bad job I'm
doing.
No, man.
So that's a real out front get hit
by all the cars.
Patrick Clark already making predictions
for the thirty-five to thirty-nine.
Noah one, Pancheck two, Marquand three.
Hey, we forget Quan.
Quan's in the thirty five to thirty nine.
Right.
I mean, and I love Quan.
Look,
Noah doesn't move like a master's athlete.
Noah's a great mover across the board.
But yeah,
I forget Quan's doing thirty five,
thirty nine.
A dog always just love Quan like good
buddies on bias.
But him and Noah,
it'll be a fun show, man, I think.
Like, the last year I did it,
I think it was me.
Who else was there that was, like,
higher level?
Like, that had been elite individual.
It was just Will.
Yeah.
I think that's it.
That year pretty much, yeah.
Well, him and Bronislav came and did it.
That's right.
Bronislav did it.
Yep.
But like having a deeper field where you
see people because my favorite thing's
always been like the fifty plus guys like
is if there's any better picture of what
the methodology does for you,
it is those people because none of them
probably came in with any kind of range
of motion or stability or blah, blah,
blah.
And that really kills the argument of it
not working to me if the longevity piece
is there for those people.
But having the picture of like Dallin
going from fourteen year old monster and
continuing to do that.
And when he gets to continue that into
Masters,
like we don't have a sample size for
that.
And so especially like at that level.
So I mean,
even like Sam and them doing it,
like Sam's always been pumped about it
when he can do it.
And I mean, you know,
maybe he could switch back and do it
if he wanted to.
But it's got, you know, certainly good.
But like,
I think when you get to the age
where like everybody's got kids and you're
running your gym or whatever job it is
you do away from it, you know,
just like Fikowski,
like seeing people step from elite into
Masters and it not be this frowned upon
thing.
I'm actually not sure if he's still doing
it.
That's a good question.
He just, he just shows up sometimes.
Yeah.
Like I'll be at a comp and hadn't
heard of them in a year.
And then there's easy.
Hey man, lift heavy.
Often seminars are still certainly still
going on.
I'm sure.
Yeah.
So I want to talk about the programming
and the complaints coming in.
First, I want to give the good stuff.
The competition, like,
The schedule they put out at the beginning
of the weekend, that was like clockwork.
If I wanted to watch my people,
every time that clock hit, boom,
they were there.
The machines that everybody thought were
going to break did not break.
They were big and they were heavy and
they were tough to move,
but they did not break.
Wait,
was that a worry that the stepper machines
were going to break?
That was it.
They make stair steppers that people beat
to death.
I would,
the metric thing was what I would have
been complaining about.
Like this is, I mean,
but it's the same thing with like an
assault Rover or a road thing,
but it's a,
that's a funny thing to fuss about.
I thought that was like a,
we're taking the money with stepper,
which is great.
Get money.
Del Mar is expensive.
Yeah.
And then the,
the one thing I do want to say
is the programming did change throughout
the weekend.
And to me, that's,
that that's hard to swallow.
i need the context right like i need
the why because i think and i hate
to keep referencing this but like the year
we did it right is the first year
they had rogue in ireland when they had
in birmingham and they had to send
everything by boat i found out that is
why a lot of things like were supposed
to be there weren't some of our stuff
got changed so like contextually i
understand that rogue just apparently and
just learning what i've learned this year
about them
you know,
when you sign on to be a semifinal,
it is not the kind of help you
get that I thought it was.
They're like, hey,
here's what we have available.
If we don't have it,
we're not sending it.
You're going to have to figure it out.
And which I get, but yeah,
I think last minute people just have to
do the, if that's the case, you pivot.
Now,
eighty pound dumbbells in the last
workout.
Somebody planted a good seed there to
change that,
because that workout was going to be like
what everybody thought at Mayhem last
weekend.
Like, oh,
this time cap tells me y'all trying to
get out here by three p.m.
for sure,
because nobody's getting in under that.
A few people did.
That was a good workout.
That was beautifully written last weekend.
But I need to like the full story
of why we're changing stuff outside of the
eighty pound dumbbell.
Somebody just woke up and had like a
hey, this is a pretty silly thing.
My question to you is they changed the
elite dumbbell weight.
But they did not change any of the
Masters dumbbell weights.
Don't we fuss sometimes about them baby
and Masters a little bit?
Isn't that a conversation we have
sometimes too?
Everything was heavy this weekend.
This was a chipper.
This was for the fitness people to show
what they could do.
Can we bring it up?
Let's take these things apart.
Do you have –
Let me see if they got it.
I can pull it up if you want.
I don't think they have.
They didn't have them on Flow Elite
earlier.
Oh, they do now.
Still didn't put in the calories for the
bike stuff.
Yeah, let's bring these things up.
Because I didn't hate.
They never published the calories or the
distance or whatever.
Well,
seeing Emily Rethwell do a lean back row
on the skier, I was like,
this must be hell.
Because she's a monster on machine.
Dude,
I've never met anybody more built for
running themselves into the ground of high
rocks.
Whatever it is in her brain,
if you could bottle and sell it to
hurt, you'd be a millionaire.
Because she's a doll.
But to see her have to pull some
weird technique stuff, I was like,
this must be brutal.
So this workout was power output machine.
with some double unders.
I didn't hate that they made it be
a beaded thing.
Like Rich made everybody use their ropes,
like the old school RX smart gear rope,
which, you know, is awesome.
But like take everybody's little binky
safety net rope away and see what you
can do is awesome.
I didn't hate this one either.
And I like the aggressive cap on this
one because like that middle part,
thirty chest to bar.
And I'm also, you know,
speaking for a lead to probably thirty
five, thirty nine,
thirty and thirty is kind of negligible
now with that big kind of slow tempo
cycle rate or whatever you want to call
it for the sandbag.
My beef with this is it was a
all the way up to forty four.
It was a hundred fifty one hundred
sandbag.
And for that division,
they reduced the number of chest to bar.
Yeah.
See the sandbag being lighter would have
made more sense to me.
Cause that's like, I mean, but that's,
that's the part they always baby people
with, right?
Like it's a ring muscle,
less ring muscle ups or no ring muscle
ups or after a certain age group.
I loved this workout,
especially after the contrast of last
weekend.
Somebody said on another show, uh,
the contrast of Olivia doing touch and go
and then having to just motor through this
was, was very cool.
Kind of, especially back to back weekends,
sicko.
But, um,
Emily has a track background,
so she's down to her.
Yeah, no doubt.
I have witnessed it,
and she's also kindest, hearted,
sweet lady ever.
And, yeah,
I text Holden after every time I see
her.
I'm like, boy,
you better be nice at home.
CrossFit says I need to buy a little
bit of a hold to lock down.
Look, Holden's a good-looking man, too.
That's a pretty family.
So, yeah, that's a beautiful household.
So then event three,
it's all barbell though.
It's literally all.
Well,
so we talked about this other day talking
about like a, a benchmark full semifinal,
like back to the methodology, this, that,
and other,
I loved a funky twist on a DT
type thing.
And I didn't hate this as a skills
test.
Take,
take any of these workouts individually.
And I don't hate any of them.
Yeah.
You just hate a heavy weekend.
Put them all together,
it doesn't make a well-balanced weekend to
get somebody to the CrossFit Games.
If you're doing an off-season comp,
be you.
Do whatever you want to do.
I'm cool with all that.
So the longest ones we did,
the first event was the longest one
outside of fifteen minutes.
The rest of them were more sprinty,
it looks like.
Well, and then five, you had that chipper.
Yeah, but...
That's I mean,
heavy wall ball because it was thirty
twenty four box jump.
Right.
This one, I mean,
this essentially was like designed to be
able to take some chances because, I mean,
it was really a race to the double
press,
especially if they left it that way.
Because, I mean,
you're not going to kill anything by going
big on toast bar like box jump overs.
They make you step down now.
So you're going to settle yourself.
Arms are flush a little bit.
But thirty double press at eighty and what
they wanted to do.
This was a how many,
Devil Press AMRAP after a buy-in.
And that was my favorite thing about
Mayhem.
And hats off to those fellows that
conglomerate of people that did that
program in like an hour, like Rich said.
Every finish was like,
keep your camera on, smack the buzzer.
And if it wasn't that,
it was Gwen where you saw people like
take themselves into deep water and roll
the dice and just fall apart and stand
there.
which was not the people I thought would
do it, right?
Like,
I hope for Haley to smash that workout
just to see the progression of her.
But, like,
we're not surprised when that happens to
her.
But people,
like some of the guys that did it,
man,
where it's just popping out of their
hands, that's beautiful.
And, like,
when I joked with you the other day,
the only time I've ever seen Rich go
touch and go when he knew what he
was doing is when he was, like,
punishing Matt Hewitt on a snatch ladder
in twenty seventeen.
like Rich is a singles guy till he
dies and he can but like that that
was beautifully written last weekend some
of these I think had the same kind
of concept I think everybody wants that
for the show right and they talked about
like having a good test and a good
show is very often a hard Venn diagram
to merge together that's absolutely right
I think uh you got the benefit of
where you are Delmar stirs up a lot
of good fields for West Coast people and
CrossFit people in general because like I
mean
all the things that have happened there.
So you come in with good juju.
And these guys get hammered for the
program in every year.
You know, whoever these two guys are,
I can't remember their names, but boy,
do they get lit into every year.
Bob and Joe.
Yeah, Bob and Joe.
Bless your hearts.
Let me throw the southern thing in there.
Bless your hearts, Bob and Joe.
But I don't hate any of these.
I'm also a large CrossFit athlete.
I'm biased, too.
Real heavy, real short.
I'll call this the Clydesdale-Delmar
invitation.
All right.
Last weekend was heavy and well spread
out.
And, I mean,
nobody's going to argue you need any more
length after the run.
And when I tell you the videos did
not do that first hill justice –
I felt bad driving the rental car up
that hill.
Transmission shot.
But...
There's no more.
We don't need more distance after that.
They didn't go machine heavy.
I thought it was really well thought out.
This had wrinkles like a new machine
nobody likes.
That is nod to unknown and unknowable
things.
I don't hate that.
It is a little sprinty and a little
a little heavy,
but like I always joke about like twenty
thirteen regionals being like the CNS
destruction here.
But I missed that because everything was
heavy.
The only gaps were pistols and like skill
based things.
And that was before we had sexy stuff
like handstand walk.
So.
right let's get into the individuals um so
on the women's side what a freaking race
oh brother this this being so not like
yeah she got olivia smashed but like the
highlight to me and i'm gonna i'm gonna
give some flowers here emily rothwell dog
we talked about her um sydney smith dude
who has you know lived in birmingham so
she moved san diego one insanely happy she
moved she's in a room full of women
that will get her where she needs to
go because there is no physical capability
she does not have this showing is going
to be gas on a bonfire for this
kid her being fifteen points out of
qualifying is she's about to have a
monster year uh i was i was the
most impressed with that and i just want
to point out the math of this
Sidney Smith out-legged Lydia Fish at the
finish line by a half a step,
and it changed who got the games ticket.
Yep.
And it does be like that.
Surprised everybody.
Abigail Domet and Lydia Fish ended up
tying.
It went down to a tiebreaker,
and Daniel Brandon was only one point
behind the two of them.
Yeah.
Who, I mean, for a heavy weekend,
you know, she may have overachieved,
but it's the story for a lot of
this stuff too, man,
is after last weekend being so rough for
Olivia, Abby, Kyra, Emily Ross,
like I can't imagine turning around and
doing a whole nother semi the next
weekend.
Cause that was not one to shake a
stick at last weekend from like just a
physiological taking on that whole
weekend.
And I mean,
what did you do Monday through Wednesday?
Like,
Yet there was no downtime.
We packed our stuff and got right on
the plane, went early to this.
So shout out to those coaches for managing
that and these guys for holding up.
That's a testament to their body of work.
But yeah,
I would love to see Emily get in.
But Sid, man,
I couldn't believe Kyra didn't smash
these.
And I didn't get to watch that whole
heat for a lot of them.
But I thought it was teed up for
a lot of the power kind of output
people.
And there was no, like you said,
even the long one was machine,
which is great.
I think good contrast from last weekend.
But yeah, dude, Abby Doman's a monster.
Her last weekend on Gwen was one of
the more impressive things I've seen
because like, and Olivia,
we expect that from her.
I think that's the first time I've seen
Abby Doman do it up close.
And Lydia Fish being that close,
not being just a monster with a barbell
is impressive.
The fact that these two went back-to-back
weekends and got their games qualified in
the second of those weekends was just
crazy.
Yeah,
that would not have had that in my
deck of cards for that, for sure.
And on the men's side,
pretty much a runaway.
Come on, baby.
Pretty much a runaway.
Come on.
Two new kids.
Dallin Pepper, James Sprague.
ran away with this.
.
.
.
.
.
. .
Like, very strong.
But his complete game, I mean,
I hope he's – I think my brain's
so messed up for the format this year
because, like,
you don't know if it's their last shot.
Are they going to do whatever?
And so, yeah,
he – I also thought Tudor would have
mashed the weekend,
just set up for success with the program.
But super impressed with Dylan Hammond
coming off the teams and having a good
individual showing.
That's near and dear to my heart.
But, yeah, dude, the boys –
I think they pick ones they want to
go to now where they have the best
races because that's essentially what it's
going to be.
Dallin getting on top.
I think this is the first time he's
put James down in a while,
so hats off to my man.
But James Sprague is no longer fit enough
to play the game but not strong enough.
So it's about to be a hell of
a year for just the men's field and,
like,
who's going to be able to go in
and take haymakers because it's a lot more
guys.
And I'm always excited to see that kid
go.
Grace says, I wouldn't call it a runaway.
Dylan was in contention until the last
event.
I would only call it a runaway in
comparison to the women.
When everybody's fifteen points away.
One point between second and fourth.
Like, that's so tight.
Yeah.
That's a fumble away.
Thirty-five point difference on the men's
side seems huge.
That is.
I mean, and math in this thing,
he would have needed a lot of help
to, like, be in contention for sure.
But Dylan's a hell of an athlete, man.
Like, I mean, one bigger guy,
moves well with the barbell, but, like,
that complete game he had this weekend,
like, I hope he's got another shot.
And I would say at this point in
his career, Ilya,
this was his best chance.
This programming was his best chance.
Yeah, for sure.
And then just a personal shout-out,
Alexander Majors was my coach at CrossFit
Polaris.
The new class every day, coming in eighth.
Huge shout-out.
Yeah, and that field, I mean,
that's a good field, man.
Like, I – yeah.
It was – James and Dallin,
it's going to be a show, baby.
But, yeah, they were – Tudor,
I thought – I wish I could have
seen more of complete heats.
But, dude,
Tudor with Jason Lyon has been –
and incredible to watch.
Just, like, mentality-wise, like,
he's a deep thinker,
and you can tell how he articulates
himself in interviews and stuff after the
fact.
And the kid has always had the tools.
I think the first Brute event I ever
went to was West Coast Classic when they
had it in Vegas.
But from then to now,
the kid's a monster.
And so I don't think there's any weekend
where he's out of it.
So I would, you know,
I wonder how the execution stuff went for
him to be just, you know,
in fourth and not sniffing the ass in
second place.
And then I just have to point out
our very own Carolyn Prevost.
Nobody doubted it.
Nobody doubted it.
Three event wins.
Three out of five event wins.
And a second.
And then I think a fifth.
Yeah.
She was skating, hockey lady.
She was skating.
And there we have Pancheck and Dancer with
Brendan Willis getting the third spot.
Love that.
Love that.
How did they decide to take two from
this one, but three in the Masters fields?
So it's,
I think it's a percentage of the overall
field.
There's only five in-person Masters semis.
So you can give more out at each
one than you can because there's, what,
eleven?
Yeah.
Elites.
So they had to spread it over more
semifinals.
That's fair.
Yeah.
So there we go.
Again, great races.
Congratulations to all the athletes that
made it to the CrossFit Games.
If you want to see the full list,
Just a couple quick shout-outs because
they're listeners of this show.
Denise Moore,
one in the sixty-five to sixty-nine.
Cindy Hinkle,
one in the fifty-five to fifty-nine.
They're both listeners of the show.
And so, huge shout-out to them.
They both won their divisions.
I love that they had them in person,
dude.
I do like for the show.
Yes.
Cut it off.
My favorite thing is to see those people
doing skills,
doing overhead squats to whatever degree
they can hammer them for no reps,
whatever.
But the being that old and still
practicing this thing is so like just the
entire body of work.
For what we do and love,
that's the picture of it.
Like,
not just being able to wipe your own
ass your whole life.
You can still overhead squat at speed,
you know?
Like,
we're not a penguin sliding around
surviving.
You're the hawk swooping down to kill.
So that's – I love – that's my
favorite age groups to watch.
Barry McConkner,
Data Watt is fast with info.
Holly Dugan, Data Watt on Instagram,
is our stats and info person.
She is blazing fast.
She's so good.
And this guy has the best profile picture
of the craziest person to ever do
CrossFit.
That may have been why I stayed in.
It's him doing the clean and jerk ladder
in twenty thirteen and go in a singlet
that nobody else was wearing.
Yeah.
Lucas Parker, what a guy.
Lucas Parker was
He was the show at the game in
the day.
Brother, that's what we had.
That's what it was like wrestling.
We had characters.
Rich was like Tim Tebow,
probably going to beat everybody.
Lucas, psychopath.
Aja Bartow was like Andre the Giant
because he was the only guy over six
foot at the time besides like Chad McKay.
But this is where I get to nerd.
That's where I think finally we're kind of
dipping our toe back into that.
Oh yeah.
Finally.
Well, people talk shit here now.
Like it's a real sport.
Like I said that last weekend,
like the better that like, um,
The better the pig farmer's doing,
the more shit he talks.
And when he knows he's about to go
mash, turns it up.
And like, I love that.
And everybody interacts with each other.
They still see each other.
They'll talk the same hot shit in person.
Like I've wished people would play this
like real sports all the time.
Like we weren't friends on the floor,
on the field.
Like, we'll be friends in the back, but,
like, if you've played ball ever,
you weren't cool with anybody while you
were on the field.
And they, like,
them engaging in it and it still being,
like, good-spirited.
They're not, you know,
hurting each other's feelings too bad,
but it's all good-spirited stuff.
Like, yeah, it's getting back to where,
like,
when it was fun and we had personalities
and things like that and they're not
scared to – once Mike crams a mic
in their face,
they're not trying to give the –
the soft answer, so I love that.
That's why I like Colton, man.
I shook his hand and told him,
I said, dude, I've never met you,
been around,
your coach has been one of my best
friends in space forever,
but you're hilarious.
And he means it.
Joey T is just one of the best.
I met him when he owned CrossFit
Grandview.
Yeah, that's my dog.
Him and Andy, man.
Those years doing teams when it was like
us, Jared at four and seven,
his whole group of just monsters they'd
cycle through.
I don't know where they got an endless
supply of women who snatched two hundred,
but they have them at that gym.
But, like, Joey and Andy,
and then they cycled through.
They had a similar situation.
But, I mean,
they still have a good team, man.
And Joey's, like,
his lady's out of residency,
married to a doctor,
wherever they live now.
I think they're back in Columbus,
actually.
But, yeah, they had a bunch of monsters.
And he's still, like,
very high-level coach.
Man knows what he's doing.
Like, Joey's great.
Lucas had an amazing balance.
Guy could work a tightrope.
Dude,
the games behind the scenes things where
they went to his house and he was
carrying a log around his beachfront
property.
I was like, okay,
all of this makes so much sense.
But he was also a very smart and
articulate dude.
I was like,
you sit at home and smoke out of
a pipe and listen to classical music in
your spare time.
Certainly.
That's it.
That's,
it was the contradiction in everything he
did, man.
It was, he was so, so good.
And like,
I'm glad Colton has brought that back.
Yeah.
Colton is,
if Lucas was like the CrossFit version of
Patrick Bateman,
when they show him the business card,
he's like, is that eggshell white?
I'll kill you.
That, that was Lucas.
And that is Colton now.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That's good.
Yeah.
As for,
we already talked about Flow Elite.
I want to talk about the announcers,
Pool Boy and Bill Grundler.
Yeoman's work, man.
Day one,
they called every heat for the entire day.
Yeah.
And like seeing pool boy do it is
very cool because I think hopping on a
show and doing a good thirty forty five
is cool.
But like, you know,
I've emceed events and been horse in an
hour and a half and I've told Bell
and I was like,
I don't know how you do this all
day.
And they have all kind of like cheat
code sprays and golf cough drops and this,
that and other.
But it's a different ballgame having to do
everything,
even if you're in the booth and Bill's
a pro for years and years.
Right.
But it was cool to see him step
in and do well with it, man.
Like he knows and loves the game,
you know,
despite like
the shit talk crazy stuff which i don't
mind but yeah he has a great voice
yeah pool boy has a great voice and
i was texting with friends and the
comments were he hasn't repeated himself
at all
Yeah.
And he's been on the air for like
ten hours.
Yeah, but I mean,
I think he owns an affiliate.
I think, well,
if you can get up in front of
people and talk them into hurting
themselves with fitness and you do that
for years,
you get all right at spending some stuff
off top of your head.
And also it's cool to see him and
as much as I love Chase and everybody
that's ever been in the booth,
CrossFit has a voice to me and it's
Sean for sure.
But it's like Chase and Roe and those
people, them cycling new people in.
Even when they brought Adrian into the
booth, man,
it's cool to have fresh takes on things
and all that good stuff.
So I thought it was great.
Well,
what I love about this is it's developing
new talent for the booth.
Exactly.
Two, the other thing I learned is...
Not only did Pool Boy know every
Californian CrossFitter,
but he had worked out with them at
one point in time during their career.
Love it.
Love that.
Look, I'm a home team guy.
If he had it like that,
I'm with it even more.
And I think that's the piece that I
love about this sport is there are people
so passionate about it that they'll just
go do a drop in here and there
and work out with whoever.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And they're always cool about it.
Like,
I've never went and dropped into a gym
and, like,
the good person at gym be a dick.
They're like, no, yeah,
please come work out.
Like,
especially if it's an open gym thing.
But, no, dude, dropping into gyms,
lost art,
and I think we're getting – everybody
loves that.
Jeremy says, hats off to Paul, Boy,
and Bill.
Amazing broadcast.
Yeah, they did great.
i wonder if bill had to like write
the ship also because like bill bill's a
guy right like he's a headset guy and
so one i wonder if that's like a
picture of like pool boys either just
natural talent or two like bill being able
to put him on game really fast and
him just be a fast learner but yeah
they did great well what i would say
is it's smart because you have the you
have the savvy veteran with the rookie to
make sure that they the game is elevated
to a point where it makes sense absolutely
Um, so it was just,
it was a smart pairing, uh, Jason Bourne,
who it just scares me.
He's in the chat.
Cause you just,
know uh dylan militsky is the voice of
the games on the mic dylan has a
is great on the floor oh yeah dylan's
dylan's the voice of water palooza in my
brain for the rest of my life and
that's his baby now but yeah he uh
dylan's is also another problem with him
brent rogo is my guy uh always did
age groups and like they'd shuffle them
around but like yeah there's so many
people that do it like everybody knows
kiki on the floor and people like that
but like
You know, Brenton was always the guy.
I mean, one, we're good friends, but,
like, he was one of the voices.
Dylan's always going to be waterpalooza to
me.
Larry and Mike.
Yeah.
And they're first responders,
Larry and Mike.
Yeah.
Dude, Larry at Central East Regionals,
Larry's the voice of my regional forever.
And then, like,
I was so glad we were friends because
it didn't matter if I was dead ass
last, Larry was going to say my name.
And it sounds so good when Larry says
it.
It doesn't matter what he's saying.
He could read Dr. Seuss,
but Larry's voice is just –
Yeah,
I think Larry might be getting close to
getting out.
It might be fishing time for Larry.
It might be because he's like SWAT in
Louisiana.
He's like a SWAT instructor, I believe.
All those guys are, man.
All those guys are.
I think most of the medical team is
Mississippi firefighters.
They all are, dude.
Slav and all of them,
they're all Mississippi firefighter guys.
Some of them are from Texas,
but the main ones are from Mississippi.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Hicks is my man with the medical team.
He gets me in with them.
You always want to be tight with the
medical team at the end.
Do you know Slav, Jeremy?
Ball-headed guy?
He's always with Hicks.
I know him.
I don't know him.
So we drank a beer at the hotel
at Mayhem,
and I don't forget these stories because
they're just the first year I did
CrossFit.
I moved to North Mississippi,
and Slav was in that gym.
And he was like, oh, man,
you were so good.
I was like, brother,
I was absolute garbage.
You were forty already and you tried to
kill me.
And I was just holding on for dear
life so I could go home and take
a nap.
And but he yeah,
that's I've known him that long.
I think it's been twenty thirteen and
seeing him in advance, man.
It's always good.
Hicks and Slav.
Slav's got the shiniest head out there.
Smooth as eggs.
And.
Dada Wad, Holly,
is taking a break just to come in
and listen to the show for a minute.
I'm judging it.
She put in as much work this weekend
as anybody else,
except for maybe Pool Boy and Bill.
Oh, then they weren't lying.
She quick with it.
She must be like,
no sleep on these weekends.
And the presentation, just.
Yeah.
She has a family and everything and does
it all around that.
How dare she?
I know.
How dare she do both?
Patrick Clark,
me and Slab were crushing old fashions at
Mayhem.
If you didn't make him take a Polaroid
picture, Patrick, it doesn't count.
A couple quick questions for you.
After watching the weekend and seeing the
programming,
should CrossFit HQ have more oversight
with the programming?
So I talked to this about some people
from Magic City because they both picked
Gwen, which love it.
I love when they mandate one.
Everybody has to do.
I think it's a sweet mix of,
you know,
you used to want the luck of the
draw of going first or last,
never in the middle, right?
So you had the most information or you
had none, and that was it.
We showed up.
Maybe you get a few workouts early.
I do like,
especially like during sanctionals and
stuff like that,
when they had one workout,
everybody was going to do.
I don't hate that.
Then you can build your weekend around it.
You could do whatever you wanted anyway
based on what they gave you.
but there was some little hand they had
in it.
And I think what I'm learning is they
don't have the hand in it that you
would think they do as a support system
when you sign up to be a semi.
And so,
and you see that with like the equipment's
not being standard, you know,
across the board.
Like I get it, it is a ski,
it is a bike, that's fine.
But I like when they have...
One that everybody has to do,
then do your own thing with it within,
you know, reason.
I don't know if they have to run
that by everybody,
but I think one that everybody has to
do is very cool.
One for like fans,
especially like if you're new or you're
old,
you love to see that data across weekends
and then like the environment or whatever
it was.
And then it's just cool to have metrics
that everybody did.
I see comments in here asking if we're
going to do Copa Sur breakdown or Far
East breakdown.
We're going to do it in Mandarin.
Dense, dense sports weekend.
And I'm not talking about Jenny.
I'm talking about my Chicago Bears NFL
draft.
I'm talking about Penguins in the
playoffs.
And I'm talking about trying to watch all
of Legends, Masters, and Elite.
Yeah.
No sleep weekend.
Eighth on my list was checking out the
Copa Sur workouts.
And we didn't make it there.
But I will look at them and we
will talk about them on the lunch show
this week.
How about that?
Yeah.
We'll get down unless they're covering it
with an Etch-A-Sketch.
I don't have to pay thirty dollars to
watch it.
So I'll look at Far East and I'll
look at Copa Sur.
But, man,
this weekend I had to see if the
Bears were going to get a pass rusher,
which we did not.
No, rough draft for them, Scotty.
But I will say, future's bright.
Your boy quarterback's going to hold them
down.
This is what I'm telling myself is,
when you get good,
you take best available so you have
assets.
It's not about filling your need at this
point.
It's about having assets to move the chess
pieces later.
That's what I'm telling myself.
And either Dex is frozen or he doesn't
believe me at all.
I'm going to go with frozen.
But you know what's not frozen is third
Z.
Thirdsy.
You can get fifteen percent off Thirdsy to
get the best night's sleep,
the best recovery you can using Jazzy at
checkout.
Go to Thirdsy.com backslash Jazzy.
Check that out.
Get fifteen percent off.
They have a limited supply of salted
caramel chocolate or you can get the
strawberry lemonade which I love both of
them.
So anyway, with that, go check that out.
Hopefully,
We get Dex back here in a minute
or two, and now he's just gone.
He gone.
My girl, Jody, give me the props.
King of segues.
I work hard at segues.
Work hard at them.
With that,
I was going to move into the Magic
City games.
so uh vicky thanking data wad for all
of her work yes everybody should thank her
i i just got a text from dex
he has lost his power lost power jeremy's
asking me to send him a link but
i don't i don't socialize with packer fans
and data what given the hearts back cool
so while we're waiting for decks what i'm
going to do is i'm going to show
real quick we're just going to go down
the list of people who have qualified for
the crossfit games holly did this awesome
graphic
And basically what you see is blacked out
are the events that have already happened.
The white are the events that are about
to happen.
And below are all of the people who
qualified in that event.
And he's back.
Power outage victim, Dex Hopkins.
So at this point in the season,
we have Victor Hoffer, Roman Krennikoff,
Jeffrey Adler, Talon Pepper,
and James Sprague on the men's side.
You have Paige Rogers, Emma Lawson,
Lucy Campbell, Olivia Kerstetter,
and Abigail Doman on the women's side.
And she even has every division of Masters
and who has qualified for the games.
Becca Voigt-Miller.
Love to see it.
Kyle Ruth.
Saw him last weekend.
Incredibly jacked and going to break a
swimming record this year in his age
group.
Apparently he is a motorboat.
Oh, dude.
I forgot Grubbs aged up this year.
He's a young man.
Him and Jeremiah Head.
Romwad OG.
Rest in peace.
Real quick,
we have Terry Carey and David Hipton,
Steel, Seventy Plus.
Our very own Denise Moore,
Arthur Osterino, Sixty-Five, Sixty-Nine.
Rose Wall, Paul McCary, Sixty, Sixty-Four.
Cindy Henkel, Eric Smith, and Fifty-Five,
Fifty-Nine.
Carol Muzzin, T. Gebby, Jason Grubb,
Jeremiah Head, Fifty to Fifty-Four.
Forty-five to forty-nine is Rebecca
Voigt-Miller, Jen Mickish, Andy Tim,
Buck Jacobs.
Buck Jacobs is a name for a Masters
athlete, right?
Buck Jacobs is a name for a lot
of things.
Linebacker, highway patrolman.
I don't want to get pulled over by
a Buck.
No.
And then forty to forty-four is Carly
Newlands, Stivalis Mendez, Nikki Berman,
Bradley Alcock.
Alcock?
Alcock?
Sounds like a good name to me.
You just want to keep saying it at
this point.
Nicholas Altgibbers.
And then, thirty-five to thirty-nine,
Carolyn Prevost, Katie Canning,
Katrina Rasmussen, Scott Pancheck,
Sam Dancer, Brendan Willis.
Dogs.
All dogs.
And then,
on both my Instagram and Holly's at
DataWad, she created that awesome graphic.
Again, she needs all the flowers,
and I will continue to give them.
Hey, come here, lady.
So next up.
Oh.
You've not met her yet, Scott,
so you need to meet her.
I met her.
I talked about it.
Did you meet her?
Oh, you met her at the games.
I met her at the games.
That's right.
All right.
I did say I was engaged.
This is her.
Poke your little head in.
She does exist.
Hello.
All right.
Hi again.
Wildly kind-hearted and attractive in all
the things.
Puts up with me.
I'm not dead, so just go ahead.
Um, no more flow elite, please.
I agree, dude.
Look, nobody covers it like their people,
but when beggars can't be choosers, boy,
we gotta choose with the guy.
So we can fuss about no coverage or
we can have coverage and bitch about that.
So that's.
So here's what I would,
I would just say is if I go
see a movie with my wife and get
some popcorn,
I'm spending twenty five bucks to see that
movie.
And on popcorn.
And it lasts two hours.
And I'm coming home.
This was twenty nine ninety five.
I get to watch Legends this week.
Magic City next week.
That's at least.
Forty hours of coverage.
Oh, it covers both.
You want to pay one time?
It's a month.
I'll take it back.
It's a month.
I'll take it back.
And then you can watch all the all
the jujitsu you want to on Flow Elite,
brother.
Dudes choking dudes.
What's better?
So if you look at it from that
perspective,
I'm getting a hell of a lot more
entertainment out of twenty nine ninety
five than I would if I was going
to go see Marty Supreme.
Well, and at the end of the day,
the years we've missed where there's only
iPhones on selfie stick coverage.
Like, come on, guys, like.
All it is is a streaming platform.
Flow Elite has nothing to do with being
broadcast.
They just offer up a percentage of their
sales to the event.
That tells me Patrick Clark has just tried
to hustle this whole thing.
That's why it's bad.
Actually, who used to work for Flow Elite?
Armand?
Armand Hammer used to work for Flow?
God, I miss him, dude.
But he did not like the experience.
He did not.
He did not.
God, do I miss Armin.
He's choking people full-time and coaching
jiu-jitsu now and running Popeyes in
California or something, being a dad.
Yeah.
I miss Pat, too.
I saw Pat.
Pat also is from St.
Louis, where Lindsey's from,
and he gives me shit about taking one
of their best exports outside of Nelly and
Metro Booman, of course.
Some guy named Buck and Alcock and Choking
Dude, Sick Decks.
Yeah, you're welcome.
All right.
We like to bring it all together here.
That's what we do when we get together
on Sunday nights.
That's why we do it after dark.
I would like to point out that Scott
said Alcock.
Alcock, Alcock, Alcock, Alcock, Alcock,
Alcock, Alcock, Alcock, Alcock, Alcock,
Alcock, Alcock, Alcock, Alcock, Alcock,
Alcock, Alcock, Alcock, Alcock, Alcock,
Alcock, Alcock, Alcock, Alcock, Alcock,
Alcock, Alcock, Alcock, Alcock, Alcock,
Alcock, Alcock, Alcock, Alcock, Alcock,
Alcock, Alcock, Alcock, Alcock, Alcock,
Alcock, Alcock, Alcock, Alcock, Alcock,
Alcock, Alcock, Alcock, Alcock, Alcock,
Alcock, Alcock,
All right, so coming your way next week.
Hometown.
It's Birmingham, Alabama.
It's Magic City Games.
Have you looked at their programming yet?
I looked at the ones he's tossing out,
and I don't think that he's throwing out
the whole picture.
So they posted it.
Here they are.
Did he break them all?
okay so i haven't updated my yeah love
that again if they did a semi-final that
was just benchmarks twist them up a little
bit add some low take some low love
that uh then we have semi-nate
Do you remember when they made everybody
do strict ring muscle-ups?
This will be much more fun to watch.
Same, yeah.
He did JT last year,
which I did not hate,
but he did bench press instead of
push-ups.
Cool.
Minimal catastrophe.
I'll tell you what, with their team, dude,
Micah and Lewin,
a guy that just did the weightlifting meet
at his gym,
and their whole team do an amazing job
putting these things together.
And, like, if you saw the first time,
it used to be called a two-oh-five
throwdown,
and we did it at a field in
Sanford, the local university here.
Did it on their track, the whole thing.
We're outdoors all day.
It was the summer.
Everybody's melting.
We had a great time.
And it's only gotten better every year.
And now they're at Bill Harris Arena,
and they're getting to do a semifinal.
It's not – he doesn't think about this
seasonally.
It's all he thinks about all year.
And, like,
so all of these things have been well
tested by, I think,
Heath at Lamin and tested all these,
Sidney Smith's old gym.
But, yeah, dude, I love this.
And, like,
he's not put on a bad program and
show that I've seen since we did the
first one.
CrossFit is the – what was it?
When it was regional, Nate,
it was strict-ish ring muscle.
It was six-sixteen, the no dumbbell year.
Why do I remember that?
Me and Joey T,
about six points from qualifying that
year.
A lot of sad drinking in that semi-hearth
regional.
Then we have the bike workout.
He's never going to let the mountain bikes
go, folks, for any Magic City event.
Also, don't hate this.
Good numbers,
and it's are you a dog is the
test.
A little aerobic, but, yeah,
I don't hate this.
It's going to be mountain bikes.
I want to say Cahaba Cycles locally helps
him out with that.
That's who we worked with last year.
Yeah, that's the sponsor for that one.
So he does a good job of tying
in community events with that, too.
So their mountain bike course is in the
parking lot of Bill Harris,
if it's the same,
what it's been in the past.
But there's a little hop the curb,
little gamesmanship,
and then there's a holy shit go fast
straightaway into a hot turn where you can
kind of do some raise hell, praise Dale,
rubbing his racing scenarios.
So I love this one.
He's going to stick to it, boy.
He loves that mountain bike.
So Larry Young,
who is a frequent listener,
his wife qualified for this.
He had to teach her how to ride
a bike last week.
Okay, my best friend,
one of my best friends, Xander,
learned how to ride a bike at thirty-two.
We joke about it all the time.
So,
she better get her to practice hopping
curbs and throwing elbows.
So,
might have to get out there and ride
next to her and scare her a little
bit.
Then we have tie-down.
Man, one hundred and fifty double-unders,
five rope climbs,
one hundred and fifty foot sandbag on
shoulder walking lunge.
And then we bring down the double-unders
and the sandbag carry,
but the rope climbs stay the same.
I dig that.
Yeah, I dig that.
I want a sandbag on shoulder.
I like how specific that is.
Love that.
And the way he set this up is
you can charge it, right?
Like it's not a hundred and fifty pound,
a hundred pound sandbag.
So people are going to be able to
handle it and be an on shoulder.
Like I know we had some like kind
of ambiguous standards about where you
could and couldn't and hands on last week
with the back squats or those back squats.
But this one is set up for like,
hey,
it's out there for you to hold on
to.
And the reps get smaller.
But, yeah, I love that.
Don't hate it.
Shelly Young pops in.
Hop the curve?
I can't do that.
They put a little ramp,
but it's still a little,
it's a little bump.
So it's a good curveball, man.
It's never,
I think the worst thing that's happened is
a chain broke.
But nobody has just eaten absolute shit
like I thought they would the first year.
Cuz we went and tested, I was like,
brother, somebody's about to just whip.
I mean,
I remember watching the Crittenden thing
or the first time they did that and
seeing, I can't remember who it was.
It might have been Cat.
came around the corner and just boom into
the ground.
I was like,
we'll never see bikes at the games again.
Was it Mundweiler that like flew like he
had been on a bike his whole life?
Yeah.
Well, dude, European guys,
like I feel like they cycles a thing
there.
It's like lacrosse here.
I didn't know that was a thing below
like your state.
Like I didn't know below Ohio we had
lacrosse, but we do now.
Like,
have to learn that i have daughters i
also learned soccer soccer has offsides
scott if you didn't know that i didn't
know soccer rules uh yeah i my daughter's
twenty five now i've been through the the
youth soccer dude girl soccer way
different than guy soccer drama like go
join the drama club a very much a
you breathe on me hard ah but girl
soccer is like ufc fighting so we can
get down with that i think crossfats to
um
disparage your hometown?
Okay, that's what you need to know.
Around Bill Harris,
you don't want to ride through those
neighborhoods.
Now,
if we're in Mountain Brook or Homewood or
I live out by Oak Mountain, yeah,
you could be out here.
But around Bill Harris,
they're going to stop your bike,
steal your bike,
and if you've got money in your pocket,
just go on with it.
So, yeah,
it'll definitely be in the parking lot,
but it will not be in the neighborhood.
Bill Harris is that great arena,
great arena, good pool,
all that good stuff.
The surrounding area,
we're going to say it's developing.
It's developing.
Corey Leonard, the cowboy,
someone is going to eat shit this weekend.
I just pray it's not me.
Dude, if you try to ride super careful,
you will eat shit.
If you go cold trickle rubbing his race
in this thing, you're fine.
it's a super fun like one you could
just send the burpees and try to get
on the bike first but i do know
they'll probably make you park it like
unrack it from the little thing they built
i'm sure they've upgraded since last year
go on your bike ride the hardest thing
people had trouble with last year was
re-racking the bike like putting it back
in the thing and you have to go
back and they did they stopped people and
made them go back it was it's cool
man he does a good job with the
bike last year it was like everybody's
doing bar muscle-ups and toes to bar i
think in a helmet
which was just awesome and hilarious.
So, but yeah,
this one dubs the sandbag launch to be
sexy.
What else we got?
Semi Gwen, which we've already seen.
God love it.
We know what that does to people.
Love it.
Keeping it one eighty five for thirty five
thirty nine.
Also love that this one.
First year I went to regionals near and
dear to my heart.
Love this workout.
Love this workout.
Yeah.
Not the one from that year I would
have picked to repeat.
If I had to pluck one out just
to see the contrast of athletes then
versus athlete now,
because that was the first year you had
to send a video in to go.
And then the chipper that year.
was the fifties chipper, right?
Like it was box jump over row,
box jump over the turnaround was fifty
ring dips and had the strap over your
shoulder.
But it was like fifty wall balls,
fifty ring dips,
fifty wall balls work back.
I think there's only a handful of people
that finished it.
And it was one of those days where
Fikowski put on just a pacing clinic and
what it ran away with one.
This was the last one.
And me and all my buddies had settled
into like fifteen to twentieth.
It was like me, Travis Williams,
Jordan Cook won that year.
Cam Wilson, rest his soul.
He's not dead,
but he doesn't do CrossFit anymore.
But this one was like an ascendant.
I say that about Tim Tebow, too.
He's not dead.
He's just dead to you because he quit
CrossFit.
No, it's CrossFit careers did.
Like Tim Tebow,
I say rest in peace all the time.
Football career did.
But this one now,
where like most people are going to –
like our deal was like you have to
snatch the first one because a lot of
people that year were like popping it
over,
doing the old off-the-back shoulder thing.
This will be a much more fun race
to watch.
Isn't this the infamous froning,
throwing it back to beat Pancheck at the
line?
A hundred percent.
A hundred percent.
This is that workout.
This is why that's a rule.
Yes, you're right.
Yeah, I was there.
Did he whoop Scott every year at that
regional?
Just the hope everybody would come into
that one that this was the year for
Scott.
And every – back in the warm-up area,
he was hacking up a lung.
Froehling was so sick that weekend.
It's underrated the psycho he is.
And the nicest guy.
Like, I love how – dude,
we were in the athlete brief before the
run, and, like,
one of the – and I remember when
everybody thought Rich was like Tim Tebow,
like –
you know, whatever.
And he's just a regular bro.
And like literally one of the,
the things for the running event was like,
Hey, when you do the burpees, yada, yada,
yada, don't be an asshole.
I was like, what a full circle time.
Rich is telling everybody don't be an
asshole.
I was like, that's great.
Yeah.
I love,
I love to see a repeat though,
especially like from way back and when it
makes sense, but this is,
it was snatched that year.
So reloaded his thrusters.
I liked it.
It's heavy thrusters.
I think that's still going to be something
that's rough to hold on to after a
weekend of what they're going to have to
do.
But, sixty-four, sweet number.
Regular pull-ups.
We're going to see people getting
no-repped.
See who's trying to get judge of the
year, as you do.
Hey,
everybody was trying to get judge of the
year on sandbag squats at Mayhem.
And I thought on Gwen, dude,
the discrepancy on what was lapping the
bar versus resting in the hang.
Because from how I understood it,
you could not rest anywhere but overhead
of the front mat.
So it depended on who you got that
was trying to get, like,
the judge of the weekend award because
they were, you know,
it was a real discrepancy.
But I'll be interested to see how Micah
kind of nails that down if he doesn't
let him rest in the hang at all.
But this looks like a good body of
work to me.
There's some longish ones,
some time caps outside of eight minutes.
That's cool.
But he does a good job with the
show and the programming, man.
It's very well thought out and tested and
tested and tested and tested.
A few different athletes will test it.
But, yeah,
I think it's going to be great.
Max O'Malley is correcting us.
It was the overhead squat in XIV.
It was.
That's why I said everybody had to snatch
the first one.
Yeah,
this was me not reading the reloaded part.
Thank you, sir.
But, yeah, thrushes will be cool.
Mark Phillips says the thruster weights
are dialed in really nicely for the age
groups.
Well, Mike is of the mindset too,
that he don't want to baby masters people.
And so, and Magic City is his baby.
And I spoke with him about like the
integrity of the show and keeping it,
you know, what he wants it to be.
And like,
I like seeing it grow every year, man.
Like I said, he does a great job,
but him not taking on a lease was
very intentional and,
This growing into what it is and him
kind of keeping the quality of what he
wants to put out show-wise and being able
to showcase it with the programming and
all that stuff and make it a good
experience for everybody was very cool.
So they wanted him to have elites,
chose not to,
which I don't hate now after this weekend,
like you said,
having to have two floors and go crazy.
What I love about this is it is
very well balanced.
Very well balanced.
There's high school gymnastics.
There is barbell work.
There is monostructural.
Hell,
you're getting on a freaking bicycle.
Yep.
And there's not a machine.
Not a machine in sight.
You are the machine.
Old school CrossFit.
Your workouts are warmup.
We are the machines.
Let's go there.
I just, I love the programming.
I thought it was good.
I like this as well.
I got a basement, Scott.
Come sleep in this basement, baby.
I'm shooting that weekend anyway.
Man, I am – gosh,
I want to go so bad.
You let that old ticker get good.
I'm going to see you.
Man, tomorrow I'm cleared.
Tomorrow I'm cleared to work out again.
Hold on.
So before you got cleared,
we were trying to build a deck or
whatever you were doing?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Well, you don't make no sense.
What'd that woman do to you?
She told you to get your ass out
of the house.
I really was just getting supplies to
build the deck.
I wasn't thinking I was going to build
it.
And you felt good getting the supplies.
You're like, daddy still got it.
I'm gonna get out here and do some
stuff.
Well,
it was actually picking up the bags of
quick creep where I felt hernia developing
quickly.
Oh,
so you tricked her into having a check
before.
I see what we're doing.
Where they went up through my groin to
do the inside.
They went the long way.
That's fine.
That's fine.
Yeah, so right in that area,
I felt like this thing,
and I was like, yeah,
time to put the quick creep down.
I felt I'd moved around a bunch of
stuff in the garage gym today.
I might have felt one.
I am unruly sore from doing five lifts
yesterday.
So we are definitely almost forty.
Ortega says the long way.
That's because me and Ortega had talks
about going a long way to different things
this past weekend.
That's what I was about to say.
You faked a hernia so she'd check you
out.
That's all right.
No matter where you go to get the
heart, it's a quick,
quick stop for Ortega for you and me.
Okay.
Jonathan Ortega is a tall,
he's at least six, four.
All right.
On Tinder.
Colton Mertens hangs out with Ortega just
to feel normal.
Oh, okay.
Another fun Colton story.
So he's sponsored by that Lou,
whatever company, right?
For shoes.
Yeah.
You remember in Friday Night Lights when
they're in the locker room and he's
painting his cleats black with a Sharpie?
He had on white Nike runners,
and he took a Sharpie and scribbled it.
I said,
you should have done the whole thing,
Waterbug.
You could have been, this is great.
He said, they don't make runners.
I can't wear them.
I was like, okay, buddy.
He does six-four personalities.
He's got a six-four personality.
My man's shooting this weekend.
He's out there, sniper.
When did this turn into an Ortega roast?
Whenever we have the chance, Jonathan.
Whenever we've got the opportunity.
Whenever.
Just because he didn't snuggle me last
weekend.
I had to snuggle with Jeff.
Damn it.
So I just have a couple,
as we finish up tonight,
just a couple quick questions for you.
What are your thoughts on the way this
season is playing out?
With eleven semifinals,
if you don't make one,
you can go to another.
That's my only issue.
That's my only issue.
I think, again,
you talked about it the other day.
I understand why we can't go back to
regionals, right?
My heart for competing, five-week open,
regional.
The homies come to regionals.
I can go watch the other homies if
they don't go my same weekend.
I understand from a monetary standpoint,
not doable.
But if we're going to do it this
way, it cannot be sanctionals.
You get one shot.
Now you pick,
is it in person or is it at
home?
And that's it.
Now, am I thankful for, like,
in-house people?
Yeah, I think that's great.
But, like,
I don't like when you can go and,
like, oh, this weekend I got screwed.
I used to love, like you said,
Rich hacking up a long,
show up and make shit happen.
Cool.
Because that's your weekend to do it.
And we have other outlets like WFP and
those things to go compete all year and
run yourself into the ground.
But I very vividly remember as a coach
and athlete that sanctional year when
there were no complete training blocks
because every week you were doing a
qualifier.
And, like, this is not that.
I know we have the opening quarterfinals.
But, like, dude,
you can't – if there are X amount
of spots,
let it be what it's going to be.
Even the year they made you pick, right,
like you had to put down, like,
your top two you wanted to go to,
and that's fine.
But that doesn't mean you got to go
to two.
You either qualified or you sat your ass
out that year and your training year
started early.
Or, you know,
whatever they do after the NFL,
you go to Cabo.
But I think, yeah,
I don't hate an LCQ also.
Like if you got your regular season or
the tournament.
Yeah, I mean, I've never hated the LCQ.
I think that's very cool,
especially like when you do it online,
they stream people doing it online.
I know that's probably not doable,
but you can't have people go and like
back to back to back weekends.
You can, I guess.
In my brain of best practices,
you get one semifinal shot LCQ.
That's it.
Simple.
And the other two should be small.
Yeah.
It's like one or two.
That's it.
Yeah.
Well, I mean, shit,
make that whatever you want it to be
and then let them float to the top,
as we like to say,
especially because you're going to do it
at home, which is fine.
But I think like when you – hey,
I'm going to choose to do in-house or
at-home semifinals.
Beautiful.
There's your shot.
I'm going to choose to go to syndicate.
Cool.
That's your shot.
There is no plan B. There's no fallback.
There's no taking spots from other people
because like –
I love when there's a random name
breakthrough.
Like if Dylan would have qualified this
weekend, not a random name necessarily.
He's been in the games on the team
before.
Great athlete,
home run hitter and strength of it's
ungodly strong.
But.
When you can go weekend to weekend,
we weed out the chances of that next
person breaking through,
because we know how powerful that is when
they do finally break through, right?
Like, like Facilier breaking through,
James breaking through finally, you know,
and people like that.
I mean, I think there's levels to it.
When you break through the semifinals,
all right, cool.
I know I can now.
Opens up your kind of realm of possibility
mentally.
Your training year goes different the next
year.
But when we're letting people shuffle
around and go to a bunch of different
semifinals, I feel like we're,
We're cutting that out a little bit.
Now, not all together.
I'm just bitching for the sake of
bitching.
I like to see people put their best
foot forward on the weekend and choose.
But to have multiple shots,
and some of these people are my friends.
I want Kyra to go.
I think she's earned it.
She won quarterfinals regardless of what
she can say about the programming.
Kyra's in the best shape she's ever been
in.
She looks it.
The confidence is there.
And you know her and Kiefer do a
great job.
But I think you've got to have one
shot.
And I think
Regardless of what happens,
they have got to pick a road to
stay on with this.
And so if this is going to be
it,
I guess it's a lesser evil than
sanctionals,
but it feels very sanctionally to me.
I love the old one shot.
You got the flu, cool.
Flu game this shit like Michael Jordan did
and ball.
I want to speak to that in a
second, but Matthew Sprague says,
this year's games feel we'll be the best
top to bottom because of the rules this
year.
Let's talk about that in a few weeks
after we see some more semis.
Because right now you're getting the best
of the best qualifying because everybody's
at these things.
But once people break down,
what are we going to get at the
next set of these?
It's going to be like the invitational
year where they brought all the national
champions who couldn't snatch one eighty
five or do a legless.
Although I do say bring Hunter McIntyre
back.
That was one of my favorite things they've
ever done and actually done the blowhard.
So,
Walter Payton broke the single-game
rushing record with the flu.
Yep.
Right?
This is his finest export.
Michael Jordan famously had the brown flu,
brown water flu,
and had the game of his life in
Utah, right?
I have those shoes, yeah.
it tells us,
it tells a story and a different story
and drama to something that maybe didn't
have it.
Plus one shot and you go home.
You lay it on the line.
Con Porter, event six, Torian Pro.
It's all or nothing or I go home.
Cole Sager, like,
eighteen years in a row had to do
it on the last event at regionals.
The heartbreak kid every year.
Yeah.
I agree.
I agree.
I think the stories and, you know,
we talk about, like,
the media and all that stuff, like,
for twenty eighteen.
you don't get those stories unless they're
very organic in that way anymore because
they're not sending out teams of people to
hunt them down, right?
Like we're not going to have the roads
of the games for everybody.
We're not going to have X, Y,
Z for those things.
But I think when they – if you
facilitate it through the system,
it's easier to find.
Fikowski was basically Gonzaga missing the
final four forever.
Yeah,
and that was used to be – hey,
that Canada regional was one of my
favorite things to watch every year.
I loved it.
David Wells was drunk or hungover and
threw a perfect game.
David Wells was probably drunk every game.
And he had the biggest beer belly ever
in baseball.
Yeah, yeah.
I was a Clemens guy, but that's okay.
David Wells was dumb.
There was something else.
Oh,
I don't even remember what I was going
to say.
Oh,
what was the most popular road to the
games ever?
When Brooks and Josh Bridges missed out on
the games.
And it was all documented, the meltdown.
Yeah.
And what happened the next year?
Josh Bridges snatches two sixty five.
That's one hundred and five percent twice
at Del Mar.
I'll never forget that.
And it it meant something to them and
it was all on the line, man.
Yeah, dude.
Well, hey,
this is part of it being this part
of it being professional, right?
Like everybody wants to be a pro and
do pro things, right?
You only get one playoff in the NFL.
There's one game you're out,
then you're out.
There's no going to the next one.
And, again, like I said,
some of these people are my friends.
I want them to go.
Like,
I think it's criminal if Kyra doesn't go
this year because she looks great.
But, yeah,
you can't be able to pick a lot,
man.
I think it takes away from the possibility
of the stories.
Like you said,
Dex will not make a comeback.
I'm doing weightlifting right now because
breathing heavy hurts my soul.
I did the open workouts.
It's the first conditioning I've done in
like months thinking like I can do wall
balls all day and I can,
but the taxes I pay on that are
insane.
So Dex is done.
I took my, my individual trip.
I don't care if it was masters,
still individual trip.
I'm good.
My kids got to see me,
got to see Scott.
Now I get to carry a camera around
and be around the homies anyway,
and I can wear cooler shoes.
So yeah,
Ronnie Teasdale and his motorcycle denim.
Not the weirdest thing Ronnie Teasdale
ever did.
Sunning his butthole in the middle of the
street outside of his gym was probably
elite Ronnie Teasdale.
When they say pro,
that means they only want the attention
and the money part,
not what comes with it.
I think if you don't have the sauce,
you don't get the money or the attention.
I think when they have spent a lot
of time building their brand in the space
and their body of work, it's like, hey,
I've committed my life to this thing.
I will never fault these people for trying
to make money.
Now, appropriately, cool.
Like,
go get your sponsors and do all that
stuff.
I think the male versus female side of
that money scale is a lot different than,
like, the athletic kind of thing.
But, dude,
I don't – I'll never be mad at
these people for trying to make money,
like, ever.
And the CrossFit game season is not where
they've traditionally done it.
So – You talk about that,
but Dallin said –
Dallin said that it is better for the
fans and for the sport to have that
winner go home.
Oh, I agree.
Most athletes don't like it because they
want another shot, right?
Yeah.
If I'm Patrick Mahomes and I lose to
the Broncos in the playoffs, well,
next week I get to play the Steelers.
He would like that other shot,
but it doesn't make for good television.
It doesn't make for good ratings.
Well,
that's why I don't get why everybody
throws such a fit about WFP stuff, dude.
Like I've said on other things,
I'll never be upset at a branch that
grows off CrossFit's tree.
And call it what it is, high rocks,
all these things, they are.
I don't hate that.
I think there's a sect of people that
love High Rocks, what it is.
Great.
I think the WFP,
if like the CrossFit game season is not
enough for you to fill the cup or
the bank account,
they've done a pretty good job.
Now I'm assuming that bank account doesn't
run dry soon.
They do a great job facilitating that for
people.
And like,
it's going to end up being its own
thing.
I think we'll have a real PGA live
scenario, like I said before, but I don't,
I'll never hate these cats for trying to
make money.
Like,
If you've given your life to it,
and you and I both know there are
far fewer and in between people to make
a full time pay a mortgage living doing
this.
And you and I know most of them
pretty well from just the sport of it
and like sponsorship stuff.
It's just not as common as people think.
But like when they're trying to do it,
actually,
the window to do it is so small
that I'm not going to be upset with
you for doing that because these aren't
what it used to be.
Twenty thirteen through, I'd say,
seventeen ish.
A lot of these people own gyms.
They were gym owners that that's why you
had the time.
And this is not that era.
These people have their personal brand
like that.
James and Dallin do it and the boys
do it probably better than anybody,
but they also have a media guy that
follows them around and people who edit
their stuff and all this.
Like it's a whole, it's a job, dude.
So like if they are making money doing
it, awesome.
They don't want to go be an accountant
or an engineer yet.
Great.
Do it.
The window is small.
Get your money.
So Barry wants to know the big question.
Well, I was,
I'm taller than Jared and ours is about
the same length.
I stand next to him.
So probably mine.
I did see him this past weekend,
and we both have his hair shorter,
and we don't have beards anymore.
Dude,
we used to hate each other because my
friends would give me shit for looking
like him,
and his friends were doing the same thing.
And Jess Griffith told me that years
later.
I was like,
me and this dude have been just growling
at each other for six years.
Like, y'all been doing this to us?
We're actually very cool.
So he's a good dude.
He was there this weekend.
He's still freakishly strong and jacked.
He's a tactical games now, punch out,
go to work.
Yeah.
And you were both in the Central East,
which was wild.
Like two guys with these long hair,
long beards.
You know,
that's when I was working security.
That's when we met.
All that kind of stuff.
It was just wild.
Yeah, we do.
We had a – our region was –
it was us, OC three, Joey's team,
Grandview, four and seven, Rich,
possibly two Rich teams.
And there were four or five other, like,
teams that were right –
I mean, there was no,
I love that time, dude, up until.
I think, I mean, like, as everybody says,
but that was when it was like,
bring your home team to regionals and
rage.
And like,
I still got pictures of my mom and
the crowd, like raging,
like she was at a WWE event,
but it's a, yeah, dude, those were the,
the uncle Rico times.
I still look on Leon.
Well,
you look at legends this weekend and the,
and the crowds from what I could see
on this stream did not look awesome.
Right.
Like you said, it's not.
They were packed for the teams.
Even on Friday, baby.
Well, dude, Maximus where I was.
And I saw some of those people this
weekend, like Carrie Sue and Dave.
God was good to see him, man.
But we had a full bleacher section, dude.
And it was in St.
We did it in Minneapolis one year.
We did Nashville, Columbus,
like did not matter.
this whole gym would travel and like pack
the stands and you'll never have that
again because we'll never go back to that
format.
Now,
will there be spurts of it or whatever?
Yeah, but like
Yeah,
I don't think it'll be that version of
the sport again.
And I hate to say that because it
was near and dear to my heart and
yours.
And I loved on everybody at these things
because you never knew when you were going
to see them again.
And I was so appreciative of what we
had.
And I think I did a really good
job of walking slow through those years
and kind of realizing it was the good
old days while we were in it.
It's still an office quote.
And I still love the game.
Don't get me wrong.
It is a much different game now.
Um, you can't be,
rarely can you be a part-timer and be
a high level athlete anymore.
And that's just what it is now.
Um, but yeah, dude, those,
the rage at regionals days are,
that'll always be peak for me.
Um,
Clooney's made a comment way back and I
won't be able to find it,
but said that semifinals are not playoffs.
The structure that is set up, um,
It should be.
It should be the playoff.
Get from point A to the championship.
And I see Graces say other sports aren't
like that.
Tennis, golf, whatever.
But they have the same bracket format in
every championship that they put on.
If you want to win Wimbledon,
it's win or go home.
If you want to win the U.S.
Open in golf, it's win or go home.
Look, I love the format.
I love quarterfinals.
I think it's great,
especially from an affiliate standpoint.
Cool to the next stage for most people
in the gym, in-house, semifinals.
You get one.
That's all.
I love the format.
And we hope they stick to this because
then we can know what to expect,
especially from a coaching and programming
standpoint.
But, like, I mean, like, dude,
Kiefer having to take Kyra from Mayhem to
Del Mar this weekend.
What did you do?
Rub her back and recover with her?
And then, like,
let's lift one day this week?
Like,
you didn't keep striking it hot all week.
Surely not.
The wheels fall off.
NASCARs don't race every weekend, baby.
You know?
But they...
You should have to pick one.
I'll die on this hill.
And that might be the old Scrooge in
me that misses CrossFit of old.
But like you said,
the itch to have to put it on
the line and go a place you don't
want to go to go somewhere you do
want to go is not there when you
got a plan B.
And it gives a drama that's been missing
from the sport for years.
We love the drama.
Not the drama of weird standards floating
around.
Don't like that.
The drama of this person's dating this
person.
I love that drama too.
There's nothing more crossfit.
Affiliates are the best dating app.
But it doesn't bring people to the stands
to watch it.
I agree.
I agree.
Dude,
I've heard everything on Diana Rossini and
Mike Vrabel in the last two weeks.
Trust me, I like drama.
Dude, I had no idea he was married.
I clapped for him.
I was like, go ahead, old fella.
But yeah, didn't know he was married.
My B. Dex is all over Diana Rossini.
No, my lady's younger.
Diana Rossini is older.
I don't like older women.
That's right.
Younger lady, you.
Okay.
Anyway, so there it is.
One bar is in Birmingham.
No, no, brother.
You've never been here.
Birmingham is a weird bright spot for food
and drink places.
I promise you.
Now, not around Bill Harris.
You got to go downtown.
But it's the bygones right by my lady's
work.
Great little spot.
There's a man.
Birmingham's a good little bright spot on
the butt cheek of the south.
I'll say that.
Is that a good way to put it?
It's not in the cracks.
It's on the good cheek.
Well, dude, it's been fun having you back.
People don't –
One, when we were a tiny little podcast,
Dex used to come on and we used
to do Clydesdale After Dark.
Love it.
And we used to have a blast.
Hell,
some of those shows would go two hours.
We still could, clearly.
I think we're going an hour and a
half now.
But, dude, I never stopped watching.
And, like, you've only gotten better.
And, like, the things you put out,
the speed of which you put it out,
and the team you've built,
and they're all lovely people in person.
And they all give a shit about the
sport the same way you do from a
bunch of different perspectives.
Like,
it's been a beautiful thing to go from
seed to very good fruit bearing tree.
And you've stayed the same person you are,
loving on people.
And then when you don't love stuff, God,
you mean it.
And I love that, too.
So I love watching, brother.
Are you going to syndicate?
That's been asked a lot.
I'm not going to syndicate unless somebody
needs a videographer.
But I am going to be at Magic
City because it is at my home.
But, yeah, I would love to go.
Knoxville is not a crazy drive,
and I was in a good show last
time I went.
So we'll see.
Still out?
I think I'm going to syndicate.
I think that's going to be my comeback.
Okay.
Stone Cold comeback.
I'll bring you a Stone Cold shirt if
I come.
We'll wear Stone Cold Steve Austin shirts.
Yeah.
dude that's that's where you did it man
that's where you you went uh what was
it steve austin austin oh yeah yeah that
this is actually a picture of me doing
c-fours uh before i drop my kids off
at school that's how i start my day
now two c-fours instead of two steve
weisers jump start the heart a little bit
so but like steve do you only get
about fifty percent of the c-four in
No, no, no.
I'm definitely not missing a drop of C-IV.
Not before nine a.m.
I need it.
Yeah.
And she makes a really good latte every
morning.
I also can't touch the coffee machine,
so I don't make her do that.
She does it out of the goodness of
her heart.
But yeah, dude,
I take in an ungodly amount of caffeine
for a thirty seven year old man.
We could do.
I would do that.
Don't threaten me with a good time.
And if you think I don't have Austin
three sixteen vest,
you're wrong because I do.
I got the trunks, too.
Oh, dude.
So much fun.
Want to do this again sometime.
Congratulations to Carolyn.
She punched her ticket.
But just so you guys know,
she's doing NorCal to try to get her
elite ticket as well.
Sicko.
Sicko.
Because that's just who she is.
I'd also like to redact.
If you qualify on Masters and you go
try to do elite, I think that's okay.
That's fine.
You can double dip that way.
I think that's okay.
And if you do it,
what if she does both, Scott?
She did last year.
Oh, you're right.
Good God.
And then Jamie, congrats,
about to have a hell of an angry
training year and just be a freak next
year, more so than you already are.
So the heartbreak will heal,
but the bad taste in your mouth will
not, and you need that.
All right, guys.
Thanks a lot for being here.
