This weekend was weather, weather,
and more weather for us and the people
at Wadapalooza.
What is going on, everybody?
Welcome to Sunday, Sunday,
Sunday Night CrossFit Talk.
Yes, it is.
Thought we'd have a lot more to talk
about,
but it looks like we're going to be
talking about weather.
And we usually do a quick catch up.
We'll do that in a second.
But I first want to dive into some
of the Waterpalooza stuff.
And right now there are people scrambling
to get twenty six point three in and
not just elite athletes,
but like people who had signed up to
do it at Wadapalooza and their slot got
canceled.
And here's a live look in at one
athlete trying to get it done in his
hotel room.
This was their poor Airbnb right now.
I know.
like that lamp is r.i.p now so apparently
it's a no rip if you touch no
rep if you touch the wire yeah so
good they're so clever yeah i love their
videos they're hilarious they make me
laugh
So that's a meme for time.
He's awesome.
Go check him out.
He has the best videos ever.
In addition to that,
there really are athletes scrambling to
get this done.
And it appears that every the team
athletes are all at a local gym trying
to get it done before they leave.
I saw Paige Rogers do it live just
like twenty minutes ago, crushing it.
finishing the workout.
She's crushing it, period.
She is.
And probably somebody we need to start
talking about more often on the show,
leading into semifinals and all of that.
My media guy that's there, Ishmael,
is not allowed in the gym where they
are doing the stuff.
None of the media were allowed in because
it was so packed.
Yeah.
The athletes in there and everything,
which I totally understand,
but he did kill it,
kill it this weekend with pictures.
Um, even in the rain,
he just put out a reel, uh,
of the people working out in the rain.
It was, uh,
he really worked hard this weekend and,
um,
and so thank you to him for doing
all that in less than optimal
circumstances.
So what we're going to do is just
for a couple minutes,
see if we can peek in on some
of the guys doing twenty six point three.
If anybody knows of someone that's going
live now, give me their name.
I'll go shoot to their Instagram.
See if we can see it.
I don't know.
I haven't gotten any.
Yeah, it was nice.
It was nice that they,
that they had heats for like the elite
females that just went by.
Um, like you got to go on.
Brandon's page and you could see live,
I think his hand went live.
Jesse Smith went live,
got to see a different angles of the
final heat anyways, for the elite woman.
So I think that will be their last
workout.
They're going to use that score still,
I believe,
and then finalize the leaderboard.
with four events,
including this fourth event, right,
is my understanding.
Yeah, that's my understanding,
but I have not seen anything official to
that end.
I know that was suggested by Justin
Medeiros.
He had a thing where you pick,
because one heat got to go,
rank them in that heat,
then pick another man to go
do that heat and then score it one
hundred down and then pick a third to
go score that one hundred down.
And at least you'd have more scores for
the overall final.
Oh,
so I don't think that's how they're doing
it.
Yeah, that's great.
Because that'd be so you're basically
saying take twenty six point three and
make it three workouts with different
people each time.
Right.
Yeah.
Yeah, that's interesting.
That's an interesting choice.
Some strategy there with picking which
athlete and which heat.
Larry Young says weather is always crazy,
but it seems rough today.
I've been to Wadapalooza a couple times.
The weather has always been crazy.
And breaking news,
it rains in Florida a lot.
Like, every day.
I lived there for four years.
If you don't get rain in a day,
the heat is so oppressive,
you need it to rain every day.
But raining all day is very rare.
And Guadalupalooza seems to pick that
every single year.
Regardless of January, March,
whenever they do it,
they seem to get sacked by the weather
often.
Yeah, I feel bad for...
Obviously,
the athletes for Dylan must be stressful.
And then the vendors.
Because they've invested so much money,
especially the vendors,
and rely so much on Waterpalooza.
If they're a new company, they're like,
I don't know, paying fifteen,
twenty thousand probably for a booth
there.
And if you're not able to sell much
because everyone's indoors.
You said in our group chat that sometimes
it brings people towards the tents to
to some of the vendors um but i
feel like it was so rainy that you're
just going there for shelter and you're
not shopping at that point right yeah i
think if it was a break in the
day you would pick that time to shop
right i mean i'm getting cover but when
it's all day you've you're sick of
shopping just get me back to my hotel
get me dry dry clothes yeah um
Terry says we have,
we've had a super dry year until this
week.
Yeah.
When I was there two weeks ago for
spring break,
it sprinkled for like two minutes twice.
And then the day I left it rained,
but like towards the end of the day
at like seven PM,
it rained like it was beautiful weather.
Could not have asked for better weather
weather.
Yeah.
Well,
we'll do our quick catch up and then
we'll dive into some other stuff.
Um,
We had crazy weather in the north as
well, but it was high winds.
Yes.
The funniest story for me was my wife
put out Easter decorations and put out
Easter baskets with eggs in them.
It now looks like there's a community-wide
Easter egg hunt because the wind blew them
all over our neighborhood.
Oh, no.
And then I know, Jamie,
you've had a weekend.
Yeah.
Yeah, we had our...
Oh,
community open at the gym on Friday night.
We all go over to Los Tres is
like two doors down from our gym.
So we went over there,
took thirty some people over.
And while we're eating,
we get an alert that our power's out.
All I wanted to do was go home
and shower.
So we had no power at home.
Yeah.
Frustrating night for sure.
It came on like, I don't know,
eleven thirty at night.
So.
Is what it is.
You don't realize, you know,
my mom is about to be eighty one
years old.
She lost power Friday night.
And then she just was looking for some
place to be warm.
Right.
Right.
Like.
You don't realize the impact it can have
on certain people in.
in life.
And so she, um, she may, she hasn't,
she usually has an electric blanket that
doesn't work.
Right.
So she made it through the night with
lots of blankets and then went out to
her car, warmed it up,
sat in her car.
And then she went to town to run
a couple errands and stop by a friend's
house and hung out there for as long
as it took to get the power back.
But man,
I was so worried about her and I
was not in great shape this weekend
myself,
but
trying to figure out all that and thank
goodness my nephew jumped in to do some
of that i think i escaped the winter
storm in toronto because i left uh friday
morning so thursday was my last day of
work for our march break without friday
and then all of next week off coming
california right now and i'm pretty sure
when i looked at the weather back home
it was snowing and more snowstorms i was
like oh thank god i'm in california right
now yeah it was like
It's like, I don't know,
twenty eight or thirty degrees here
Celsius.
I don't know what that is in Fahrenheit,
but beautiful weather, you know.
Eighty ish, no chance of rain ever,
so I'm glad to be here and in
warm weather.
Well,
we can't go on without the weekly Fergie
question.
Okay.
Jamie,
would you rather do twenty six point
three?
I think is what he means on a
rain slick stage or have to share a
hotel room with three male athletes who
don't wash their workout clothes or knee
sleeves.
Well,
you didn't put a caveat on here that
it,
like it was my score and it's one
and done and it counts.
So I would for sure do a twenty
point.
I mean, I don't mind,
like I always have loved running in the
rain.
Um,
and so if it wasn't like my for
sure score and I don't even know if
that it would really matter.
I'm pretty sensitive to smells.
So I would pro I would do twenty
six point three on a rain soak stage
for sure.
Yeah.
Those nice leaves can get rank.
Yeah.
Cows and CrossFit.
Our first heat at Friday Night Lights got
the ten-second call and the power went
out.
That would have been awful.
I mean,
it's better to go out at the beginning
than, you know, you're in...
One minute left.
Fifteen minutes into the workout,
twelve minutes into the workout.
If you're with ten seconds left...
oh my god i guess you just take
your score and but a minute or two
yeah like yeah that would suck yeah that's
okay it's ten seconds left you submit that
score and you say the power went out
this is where it ended would they count
it or would they stay invalid oh i
think i don't know
I'm sure your video would go up to
like fifteen forty or whatever.
Right.
And so, like,
I don't think they penalize you for that.
I think you would just whatever score you
got within the window where your score is
or the time is in the video or
background.
You're good.
Yeah.
Yeah.
The moment the screen goes black because
of the lights or whatever,
you're like you're not adding any reps.
I think that's fine.
I think so, too.
Train all of our Wi-Fi went out Friday
night for an entire heat.
we lost music for a couple sections of
like four minutes at a time and people
are like, somebody sing.
My question to you,
would you rather do Twenty Six Three
without music or in the rain at
Wadapalooza?
Without music, for sure.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I like back out anyway.
I don't even sometimes hear the music.
I love having music,
but I don't hear music,
but I don't want to hear myself breathing.
yeah, quiet sucks,
but it is what it is.
Um,
I mentioned this on Friday.
I went to have my heart shocked back
into rhythm.
It did not take.
So waiting to get in with my cardiologist
because he was actually away.
His partner did the procedure.
His partner thinks that my body's been
through so much that it actually was
protecting itself and wouldn't allow it to
go back into rhythm.
because of all of the procedures I've had
over the last two months.
And so I need to talk to him
and find out what next steps are.
Really put me in quite a funk Friday
and Saturday.
But today I'm in much better spirits about
it with an optimistic outlook and trying
to figure out what to do going forward.
But I think I'll be better once I
talk to my cardiologist.
So, yeah.
When will you be talking to him?
So he gets back this week.
So he's been away for three weeks.
And his partner has been doing all the
stuff.
So all of that information will get to
him this week.
And I'm sure they'll schedule an
appointment for me to come in and talk
about it.
So yeah, just waiting on that.
Is there like anything that you can
control in terms of like,
let's say like diet, exercise,
stuff like that,
that can help with the heart that way?
Or is it?
No,
it's really just like Pat Vellner's thingy
like that.
It's probably going to be what Pat Vellner
had is the next step.
Having the full heart ablation.
so um right now it's just stay on
the blood thinners and i take a medicine
to try to keep my heart rate down
um so those two that's basically all that
we can do right now until my body
rests enough to either allow it or go
in for the full um ablation are you
able to like walk and like i'm able
to do whatever as long as my heart
rate doesn't spike
they tell you a certain uh number or
is that just you looking at your watch
or right now what do you use a
watch i do yeah and then once you're
at a certain number then you just have
to dial back take a rest or and
it what it yeah yeah it
It stinks because it just takes away all
the intensity from the workout because it
doesn't take a lot to get to one-thirty
for me right now.
Um, so there it is.
Uh, but I'm in a better spot.
I, I finished watching drive to survive.
So I think everybody is going to be
okay on the roadways.
I'll be able to,
I'll keep my speed down now,
all that's over.
And, uh,
I'm building what's great is the last
season Lando Norris won the twenty five
drivers championship.
And that's the Lego I won in the
forum.
So I'm building his car right now,
which is really fun and really relaxing.
And it has working parts,
which is really fun.
It's taking me a long time,
but it takes up my whole dining room
table.
It is.
I can't even fit it in.
I can't even fit it into the screen
to show you how big it is.
You got to snapchat me that.
I want to see it.
Yeah, it's really cool.
Our CrossFit MDL-I, heart ablations, fine.
You'll be fixed.
This is a good thing.
Okay.
You'll feel so much better after your
ablation.
Yeah.
What's your hesitation on why have you
waited, I guess, on that?
Is it just you feel like the other
options you could get rid of it?
The other options were simpler.
And if they worked,
then that was a good thing.
And then you don't have to go on.
But the whole,
even from the first time it happened,
they told me that it could be inevitable
that we reach the ladder,
the rung on the ladder that says ablation.
So this was a possibility all along.
It's like,
let's try these other things along the
way.
And if it works,
it works for a percentage of the
population.
But the first one only worked at like,
twenty five percent.
The second one was forty percent.
Now the ablation is a much higher rate
of success.
Yeah.
Fergie wants to know, Carolyn,
have you ever had a heart scan?
A lot of lifelong athletes have an
enlarged heart.
No,
I don't think that I've ever had some
sort of scan.
I do have an enlarged heart probably.
Being a caring, loving person.
No,
I haven't had any testing done for that.
My heart rate normally is regular.
Yeah.
been felt like i had anything that was
irregular so i haven't had the need to
do any any testing um so i have
heard that a lot of athletes have you
know it's a muscle so yeah it's not
like surprising that's one of the dangers
of the early steroids is because i did
a like a an essay on it in
college
That because steroids work or enlarge the
muscles, it also was enlarging the heart.
And like, so the seventies steroids,
the old fashioned stuff that people were
using, that's why it was super dangerous.
Um,
so one more thing before we jump back
into CrossFit is if you guys have not
seen this, um, tournament time,
March madness,
it is our yearly attempt to prevent Jamie
from winning another trophy or ring.
And so I have Jamie and let's not
let her win another one.
Come on.
So I've created both a men's and women's
tournament bracket challenge on ESPN.
It is under Clydesdale Media Jazz Fest.
In this show notes,
there's a link to both of them.
The password, of course,
to get in is Jazzy.
Jazzy, making it simple.
Perfect.
It's our code for everything.
can enter both both will get trophies um
and i try to find really cool trophies
to give out um if you win the
challenge and it's all it's a private
group just for clydesdale media people
last last year was the ring right not
a trophy was a ring that you got
like there's a ring and a trophy yeah
it was a little yeah there was a
little trophy in the box cool
Yeah.
If it was close,
Jamie could show you what it was.
It's in my office.
I have my, I actually do have my.
That's her fantasy football ring.
But the other one's on my bookshelf in
my office.
The bracket challenge was actually an NBA
looking championship trophy,
like super miniature and a championship
ring to go with it.
So we'll try to do something similar.
Last year,
Jamie won the Women's Bracket Challenge.
Yeah.
And Brett Owsley,
CrossFit Games Masters athlete,
won the Men's Tournament Challenge.
So...
It's out there.
All you have to do,
go to the Clydesdale Jazz Fest League,
sign up with the code Jazzy,
fill out your bracket,
and you're good to go.
No cost, just for fun,
bragging rights only.
So there it is.
Joe Valen says,
the true champion wears the ring.
I had it on.
I wore it the one.
Oh, she's worn it a couple times.
Trust us.
So there it is.
So let's go get into the CrossFit news.
Let's start with twenty six point three.
The open announcement was made on
Thursday.
They used Daniel Brandon,
Olivia Kerstetter and Ariel Lowen to do
the workout.
Ariel Lowen took out to a quick lead
that did not last the entire way through
as the young Olivia Kerstetter kind of
mopped the floor with the other two by
the end.
Nobody finished the workout.
Yeah.
Not really the workout that you want to
be the guinea pig on.
And be racing people.
It is a pacing workout.
Until you've watched someone do it or felt
it,
I just can't imagine being the guinea pig
for this one.
And they seemed confused.
Dave did not do anyone any favors.
Bar pacing.
I mean, burpee over.
Two rounds.
He was trying to be cute by holding
off the thruster.
And I think it just...
Because it didn't make sense to do burpee,
clean, burpee, burpee, clean, burpee.
Right.
At first, I thought it was burpee, clean.
And once you finish your clean,
then you go into your thrusters.
You do two rounds of that and not
the burpee in between the clean.
Well, the first time through,
he didn't even mention the thruster
because he wanted to hold it off as
a surprise.
Yeah.
So it got really, really confusing.
Yeah, not his best, but it was hot,
I guess.
And, you know, maybe he was sun, whatever.
I like what he gave the mic to
Danielle.
I was like,
I didn't know what to do.
I love that she talked on it.
Vicky thought the thrusters were a cash
out after every two rounds.
Yeah, it's much worse than he let on.
Let's just say that.
Yeah.
heat stroke yeah uh a for effort d
for execution yeah uh jeremy did ask if
carolyn finished the workout but if you
have watched the show at all carolyn does
not let you know what she did until
the clock strikes eight p.m eastern five
p.m pacific on i've been better i've been
posting like in the afternoons of monday
like several hours before
Mine's already up.
I don't care.
How'd you do?
I got one burpee in round six.
I just, I don't know.
I just don't feel like hurting right now.
There you go.
I backed way off.
I got water a few times.
Chalked a ton of times.
I mean,
it seems like one I should redo,
but there's just no reason to.
So it is what it is.
Same with last week.
There's a lot of areas for me that,
When I look back, I'm like,
Oh my God, stop punching over right now.
Get up, keep moving.
Like just move, right?
Like there's areas.
Did you,
did you guys see Colton do it in
whatever?
I saw parts of it, like on Instagram,
um, didn't watch the whole thing yet.
Incredible.
I mean, not, not surprised.
Yeah.
No surprise.
Thirteen.
Forty something.
Forty five.
I think Miriam is mid-twelves.
I think she'll be right around there.
Thirteens or twelves?
I think she's in the twelves.
I don't... He didn't stop.
He's got...
But he's going singles on the barbell.
Yeah,
that's where she'll gain is those cleans.
Miriam is not doing singles on the
barbell.
It doesn't make sense for the women to
go singles.
The plate's moving.
But...
Yeah, six rounds of cleans.
I don't know.
I don't know.
I'd be surprised if she breaks thirteen.
That seems like crazy, but... Well, here,
Fergie's saying Colton literally bounced
off the floor and his thrusters are
perfection.
Yes.
Miriam's thrusters will be perfection as
well.
They will.
Did you watch her do wall balls?
Like,
And she's going to be fast on the
burpees.
She has proven that she's won burpee
workouts the last couple years.
I think it's going to be tight.
I think it's going to be tight.
But I think she beat Colton just because
of the lighter weight.
Yeah,
this seems like one that's going to lead
towards the women.
I think sub-thirteen seems out of the
question, but I don't know.
Maybe she'll surprise me.
No, I think,
I think she'll be in the twelfth.
I like I'm,
I'm convinced she'll be in the twelfth.
I enjoyed watching.
I,
I enjoyed Dave being on there and he
was like,
there's no way he can go sub-fourteen and
then he gets, you know,
he gets to like round four.
He's like, oh yeah, he will.
He probably will.
Gosh, so many questions.
So Colton didn't go that fast on his
burpees from the videos that I saw.
And I can just picture Miriam.
Just she, she has one speed.
She's a sprinter.
Like you're just going.
Yeah.
But I think she can hold on.
I don't know.
That's a big ask.
I mean, everyone who went out fast tanked.
Okay.
and she's known for doing that so unless
she's doing this one and also i think
the cumulative is she known for doing that
she has not as great ring muscle she
went hard for the ring muscle but she
she still went to singles before she was
she goes out so hot and everything she
does because she doesn't care about
blowing up so if she goes out hot
in this and blows up this is not
i don't see her blowing up very often
she blows up every time she yeah you
can't sprint for
Jamie and Carolyn are fighting this week.
Yes.
Do you know what the prize for winning
the Open is at?
Ten grand this year?
Five?
Last year was around fifteen.
It's like fifteen, nine, sixes.
Okay.
Top three.
It used to be top five for,
I think, a year or two.
And then they went to top three.
What's that about?
Fifteen K. Yeah, that's a big payday.
Do you think it's going to be her
or Lucy?
Her for sure.
No,
I see Lucy has ten point lead right
now.
If you look at the overall,
there's about four or five score or maybe
scores in between her.
If Miriam has the top score,
that's already five ish spots.
I don't know that she'll get ten people
within fourteen thirty and her score.
Right.
I can see like a Lawson and sneaking
in there, maybe two or three other ones.
but not, I don't think,
ten people between fourteen and thirty.
It'll be interesting to see if Lucy redoes
to try to get the money.
I doubt that she'll redo.
Well,
it depends on her travel plans from this
point,
because if she's going all the way back
to the UK,
that's going to be a tough ask.
But here,
I have a couple questions from all this,
now that you guys are done fighting,
is that
Dave said that he didn't believe that
Colton would go sub-fourteen.
That has been a good handful of times
where Dave has misguessed what the top
athlete's going to do.
I have never been one to say Dave
is washed or Dave needs,
we need somebody new or whatever.
But that's a lot of misses lately on
what the top end athletes are capable of
in this sport that he created.
I don't think so.
I think that Colton is like a minute
or he's not like any of the athletes.
No one's even close to his scores ever
on certain workouts.
So when you think what's possible for the
average,
you're looking at literally ninety nine
point nine nine nine nine.
And then there's Colton.
Like Colton is so far ahead of everyone.
It's hard to predict what he's going to
like, what he'll be able to do.
But no one's close to him.
Okay.
I just wanted to get your questions on
that.
To not know what one athlete that's so
far away from everyone,
I think that that's fine.
He's an outlier so much.
Yeah.
So much.
He should know that.
And if it's burpees and thrusters,
he should know that at this point.
And to not bet against him.
If you say that,
you think that he can't,
he'll prove you wrong.
Right.
I know,
but the problem is Dave had seen,
you know,
more people do more people do it and
not finish.
And you're like,
you think you kind of get some
verification in your bias that yeah,
it isn't,
or you're going to be like just breaking.
You don't,
you just don't think it's possible from
all the data you have and everything
you've watched.
And then someone like Colton shows up.
Did you think that all three of them
would get time capped like the sixteen
minute like and like a lot of elite,
elite, elite athletes, games, athletes,
male and female are getting time capped
here.
That brings me to my second question.
Was it so they all got time capped
and then when the women went.
A handful finished.
So what advantage did Lucy and Andra
Moistus and all of them have by watching
that announcement and then performing it
after them?
Oh, huge.
That's what I'm saying.
This is not one you want to be
the guinea pig on.
I think they had a huge benefit by
watching them go.
And it was quite a bit cooler when
they went, correct?
Yeah.
But I think this is one that you
can definitely learn a lot from watching
someone and then going.
Exactly.
Exactly.
Boys are going live, Scott.
Are you able to put it?
Yeah.
I just don't know how to get it
up first.
Okay,
so Dalen and Jason are going together.
I kind of like that.
When I saw... No, they're a heat.
There's going to be a bunch probably.
It's going to be a bunch of the
elite male.
Oh,
so you don't think they'll be going
together?
Yeah.
They loaded up a heat of females at
the end.
Okay.
Yeah, I'm just saying I like this better.
Everyone was in the same heat at the
end.
That's what I prefer because the way it
was going to be,
Justin went alone and then Daylon went
alone.
I like that they get to be next
to each other competing it.
Daylon and Jason together.
We're not exactly sure how we're going to
get them done yet,
but we will have a plan later.
Who wins this between Jason and Dallin?
I think Dallin gets this one.
Yeah.
What do you think?
You think Jason has it over Dallin?
I'm worried about Dallin, honestly,
ever since the rhabdo.
Yeah, I would go with Jason on this.
Just watching them this weekend on the
team,
I thought Jason looked fresher and looked
like a past champion.
He looked...
His rope climbs were awesome.
His box jumps were amazing.
I thought that Jason was way more
consistent over this weekend than Dallin
was.
Yeah,
I think he's looking better than I
expected him to at this point of the
season.
So it must be just Jason.
Mostly all the guys go singles.
would you not well you can't you're not
like the plates matter no i think it
makes sense for the guys it doesn't make
sense i think early on early on i
would say for the girls like i'm the
i think that's you hold on whether you
want to do it in two sets or
or one you you're not doing singles anyway
yeah i think i did eight four for
like most of my cleans
I thought Jason's elbows were slightly
through on that.
That was fine.
I saw them flash a few times.
Yeah, they were flashing.
They don't need to be held there for
like crazy or be way up there.
They just have to see.
Anna Shoup says the room is very humid.
Can you imagine with the number of people
in there and number of people working out
and the sweat?
It's going to be like a sauna.
Sauna.
But these guys need to get it done,
which I think is awesome.
And these elite athletes are going to do
well enough to move on to quarters, right?
But they have to submit a score.
So they have to find a way.
Oh,
two foot or one foot takeoff over the
bar, Fergie.
I mean, for this workout,
you're not bringing both feet in and
jumping over.
That's just so like,
just like Jason's doing here.
Two foot takeover takeoff is gonna spike
the heart rate even more.
It's Miami beach.
It's always humid.
I gotta say, I like,
I love the humidity.
I mean,
I like it in the summer when it's
hot here too.
When I went to Florida and went to
the gym, I just,
my joints just feel better.
I guess I'm getting that old.
Like first sign for sign.
Hobart did two foot it.
He did.
Can I just, um,
shout out the glintons for duo
broadcasting so many people doing, uh,
their open workouts and just putting it
out there.
I thought that was awesome this year.
I missed that.
Like on their IG or on their,
on their YouTube.
Oh,
We lost Carolyn for a minute,
but she's back.
Yeah,
I lost the internet there for a quick
second.
I might lose it here and there.
I don't really think... Teresa,
I don't really think Jason will beat
James.
I think James is going to have the
top score out of the boys.
James didn't finish, though.
He had, what,
nine of the twelve thrusters?
Eleven of the twelve, wasn't it?
Eleven of the twelve?
Jeez, so close.
Yeah, he was one rough shot.
I think James will get the top score
of them.
So did Dallin already go or is he
going next?
No, Dallin's in the back.
I'll try to blow it up where he
is.
Okay, so he is going.
He is right next to him.
Why didn't they set this up better?
He's right back here behind this crowd.
See him?
Oh, I see him, yes.
I guess they can see each other, maybe.
This is rough.
Well, come on.
You've tried to get media before.
In a room like this,
that's nearly impossible.
Yeah.
I just wish they would have put them
next to each other.
Well, Wadapalooza probably set it up,
not them.
You think they've got their hands and that
you think they went over there and set
the floor and.
Well,
I think like this counts as their score,
right?
Yeah.
I guess you got to have some.
So do you think these are still their
judges that they had went over there?
Yeah.
Judges.
Okay.
Ooh.
I mean that who's judging Jason I've
judged with before.
Okay.
Oh, yeah, it's sweaty already.
Yikes.
CrossFit says John Young is live too.
For himself or other people?
I have no idea.
Hopefully he responds.
Let me see if I can.
I'll look for him.
These burpees hurt and I love burpees.
He's live on Instagram.
Yeah.
There's not many workouts that I've
stopped at burpees before.
And this one,
I hunched over a few times showing the
same stuff.
Same.
I was embarrassed with myself.
And I love burpees as well.
Yeah.
I was shocked like on it and I
hate thrusters.
And I was like,
that was probably the easiest part of the
workout.
Man.
He's even got it.
Who was that?
Was that Saxon?
Okay.
That's true.
It's all about the last bar.
See,
I think that second round at the second
weight is a difficult, like,
gut check time.
Like,
what way do you want to take this
workout?
Like,
are you just going to continue to grind
or are you just going to feel bad
for yourself and slow down and keep
slowing down?
And, you know, I think that second weight,
the second round of the second weight is
a huge part of the workout.
Ken Walters says,
anyone who loves burpees over anything,
seek help.
Regular burpees, fine.
Over something, yuck.
Fair.
I mean,
I would prefer regular burpees also,
but I like burpees.
While they're doing this,
can we talk about Brent Fikowski on the
broadcast for the teams?
I don't know if you guys heard it
today, but he was the...
rope climb box over snatch he helped call
that yeah um he made a statement that
if you need a belt for dumbbell snatches
he doesn't trust you yeah he says he
judges people like by what they come out
with the floor like if you see someone
that has a belt for the hundred pound
throw or snatches he's like you're not
even in my competition lane
Come on.
He was being funny.
He was being funny.
And he was really funny.
I liked,
I liked when Dallin said he wanted to
wear a belt for this or whatever.
And he said he would wear a belt
for like.
Ninety-five pound thrusters.
If it didn't make him look like a
we'll see.
I thought that was funny,
but I think James told him, do it,
wear the belt, take the belt.
That event was so good.
Got my heart rate up.
That's, I think,
what was disappointing about not having
today.
Yeah.
That workout, watching those teams,
was the best part of the weekend.
Yep.
That was a fun workout to watch.
So close.
So competitive.
The girls versus the Yeti girls was going
to come down to every event.
i'm surprised on the box jump overs that
more people didn't jump on the corner,
they were allowing it like thing else
jumping on the corner,
they couple of the guys versus jumping
like on the middle part of the box,
it is significantly easier to jump corner
step down do not talk about Jamie.
Go in the corner?
Uh-huh.
Yeah, I can't stand that.
Yeah, I don't think it should be.
I normally think it shouldn't be allowed,
but they were calling it,
so I'm surprised more people didn't try
it.
I'm surprised more people.
Especially in a sprint workout,
if they're going to allow it,
you do it.
That's not the athlete's fault if they're
allowing it.
Yeah, Ken,
this is being done at an affiliate.
I can't stand that, Carolyn.
That's the thing.
I've talked about this in past semifinals,
online stuff.
It's the kind of things that I agree
people are going to do what they...
Like you said,
somebody's just going to do what they can
do in competition.
I appreciate that more of the girls didn't
do it just because they probably could
have gotten away with it.
I think it is up to athletes to
continue to hold the proper standard.
We know the freaking proper standard.
It is...
it is about like,
we're not trying to go around the corner
of the box.
Honestly,
if I think the sport needs to figure
this out and just return to like box
jumps,
but they never put it in the standards.
If you look at the standards,
they can't write everything.
That's something that the athletes do.
They need to start writing it because
they're,
they haven't been putting it on the box
jump over standards.
Nothing about it says that you can't jump
on the corner.
So is it a standard or is it
just that we don't like it?
Cause I feel like you, like, I don't,
love it but if i'm going to be
allowed to do it then i feel like
more outfits like probably are going to do
it yeah i don't know they're going to
have to it's not written do they try
to think if i've seen it at like
the games so i feel like sometimes the
lanes are so narrow that you can't do
it in the step up yes yes
What if... Dallin has the six rep lead.
Ooh, tight.
But Saxon's like killing it.
That's my guy.
That doesn't surprise me.
That is my guy.
Yeah,
I could see this being a Saxon workout.
He has a lot to prove this year.
It's going to be interesting to see.
It...
uh crossfaces you remember open seventeen
one we had a line on both sides
you had to basically be half across it
was the same in twenty two point two
with the deadlift bar facing burpee you
had to lay your body flat in half
so that you aren't doing any crazy angling
stuff i like
We've just gotten to the point where
things,
people are getting so fast that like
they're finding ways to cut corners and
literally the corner of the box.
I just, I hate it.
You know what we're trying to test here.
It's the same thing with the GHD.
I feel like at some point we're just
bastardizing the movement and you know
what they're looking for.
So let's just move right.
Ooh, one rep there keeps closing in.
Judy,
Justin actually went this morning before
the rain hit.
There was one heat from the teams that
went this morning,
and it was broadcast on the Boys
Interrupted channel or Justin's channel
this morning.
Come on, come on.
See,
I don't think I would take the belt
on and off.
I mean,
I guess you're using that as your rest,
but ooh, geez-oh-peats.
He's really hurting.
I think Saxon's on thrusters, right?
Yeah.
That was a long break, though.
Come on.
Oh, come on.
Ooh, locked those elbows, buddy.
I know.
Those first two were really rough.
There we go.
Much better.
Yeah, those first two were...
Do we know the time?
Vicki's been updating us,
but she hasn't for a couple minutes.
I'm guessing around thirteen.
Yeah,
it's got to be close to fourteen at
this point.
Waiting for Vicki to pop something in
here.
Come on.
No updates yet.
Keep losing Carolyn.
She's sending out.
I think she went to redo it.
This got her hyped up.
Yeah.
Now we have two Carolines.
I see that.
I just keep losing the internet.
And it won't let me kick this one
out.
There you go.
I think they got to be getting close.
If it keeps kicking me,
I'll go to my phone.
Come on.
Last push, guys.
Yeah, they're not finishing.
No.
So he's starting.
Those were the burpees of his last round.
This is his last set of cleans.
And Dallin's right on his tail now.
Come on.
Dallin's overtaking him.
They'll get some thrusters.
This gives old school super mega fittest
of Miami throwdown brought to you by Kill
Cliff vibes.
Yeah, this is honestly,
this would be kind of amazing to be
at.
I bet it's electric in there.
Jamie cheering.
Come on.
So soft,
like trying to get a baby to take
their first steps.
Still no official word from Waza on if
this counts for the comp.
I've not seen anything official from
Waterpalooza.
Oh, burpee for burpee.
Let's go.
And Dillon's ahead of them.
So if they stay.
Oh, there's Saxon speeding up.
I'm pretty sure this counts for their last
score.
Yeah.
Oh, my God.
This is going to be tight.
Oh, he's on thrusters.
One ahead.
Who can, uh, I think he got them.
They might've tied.
I don't know if he got three and
Saxon got two,
three for Dale and for sure.
Right.
Oh my God.
What did Jason Justin only got one,
I think.
Yep.
Yes.
Got me by one rep, bro.
Two?
I don't know if that last rep counted.
I don't know about that.
I think I watched.
That's me.
He got three.
Oh, I don't know.
Great job, bro.
He got three.
That is a huge problem.
On top of the podium.
Well, I think someone poured water on him.
All right.
So that hopefully they don't ding us.
I know.
I'm curious what Jason got.
I don't care if they ding us.
If it didn't mess with the algorithm.
Yeah.
So.
Like it's crazy that like guys of that
caliber, right?
The Dallas, the Saxons,
James are not finishing this workout.
Like these are top games athletes.
I know.
Makes me feel better about my score.
But to be fair,
it's not the optimal conditions.
Like doing it in your own gym with
your own bar.
Yeah.
And that's a first workout versus a fourth
workout.
These guys got to use full size bars.
Justin had to use a shorty bar.
Yep.
Does that make a difference?
Yeah.
Yeah, I'd say on the cleans it does.
I don't know because I wouldn't know the
difference between the two.
I think because they're not like,
it's not like a hang clean.
It's not as bad.
It's probably not going to bounce as much
on the small.
Okay.
We got you back for the answer.
Well, cool.
We got to watch a little bit of
the action.
That was exciting.
So.
Gosh, they need a,
they need a like Zamboni in there to.
Clean those floors between these heats.
Gross.
You know what they're really going to
need?
Third Z to help them recover tonight.
Get a good night's sleep.
Hopefully they haven't had it all week.
Get some collagen protein in because
quarterfinals are on their way and they
only have until tomorrow to get twenty
five percent off.
If you use code Jazzy at checkout.
Third Z dot com back slash Jazzy.
Same code as our tournament challenges.
Link is in the description of this video.
And Carolyn is frozen again.
Oh, boy, Carolyn.
It's that morning of Wi-Fi.
Kenneth says,
would think shorty bar is easier.
It's not.
Yeah, they're not.
It is not.
No,
I didn't say the shorty bar was easier.
I just said it's even harder on the
shorter bar.
You're going to notice more of a
difference if you're going for a backslip
or if you're doing like bouncing hang
cleans or something like that.
Like a shorty bar might actually be better
on an overhead squat, for instance.
It depends on the movement, but for...
And your mobility.
Yeah.
I mean,
they basically were all muscle cleaning it
for the most part.
It's not going to affect them that much.
Yeah,
they need to get caramel salt back in
stock.
I agree, Ken.
Makes Colton's score even more impressive.
It really does.
Mark says, let's whip on a shorty.
No clue if one thirty five provides enough
to to matter.
Exactly.
I'm sure any energy that helps you lift
it at whatever stage you're at and
whatever fatigue you're at is going to
help.
Even if it's just a teeny tiny little
bit.
Yeah.
Are they going to stay and clean up?
I don't know.
I don't know.
That seems unlikely.
I think that squeegee, not mop.
The lack of ventilation in there would be
horrific.
Yeah.
They need a whole lot of big ass
fans.
Yup.
What box was that?
Do we know?
I don't.
Shout out to those gyms a lot,
like hosting that.
That's so awesome.
Yeah,
Waterpalooza made an announcement that a
bunch of local gyms were waiving their
drop-in fees to help people get their to
get their twenty six point threes done
because of the cancellation at at
Waterpalooza.
So, yeah,
huge shout out to all the gyms who
allowed this to happen.
And everybody's letting us know that was
CrossFit Miami Beach.
Awesome.
shout out crossfit miami beach that that's
just any of the local boxes who are
allowing this for people to be able to
jump in no drop-in fee get it done
because you couldn't get it done um at
waterpalooza that's what the community is
about agreed all right until carolyn comes
back um
Right on.
Good community spirit by waiving the fees.
Yeah.
They already paid what for the hotel?
I know every time I've gone to
Wadapalooza,
I've spent more to go there than to
go to the games.
Yeah.
I think the registration for Wadapalooza
is more than the games.
And then to go there and only get
four events or less,
I think some of the...
rx you know age group athletes got i
don't even know what they got i uh
wayne short did you see lucy's behind the
scenes where she was charged fifty dollars
for a drop-in later refunded you are
short-sighted if you're a gym that's
charging lucy campbell fifty dollars to
drop in the couple pictures you would get
to promote your box would be enough to
cover the fifty bucks
That's insane.
Fifty dollars for a drop in fee for
any gym is ludicrous.
I I've gotten to the point where like
I won't really drop in at places that
are like thirty bucks or higher.
I mean,
I'd rather much rather do a shirt anyway.
So like if you have a shirt for
thirty bucks, I'd I'd happily buy that.
That's crazy that that fifty dollars is
the standard at proven.
I don't I don't think I could justify
that.
I mean, what?
Am I getting a four hour workout with
Tia?
There you go.
Crazy.
Listen,
I used to travel for work all the
time.
I would do drop-ins.
And most of the gyms,
when you show up and go through the
process, they waived it.
I've had a lot less of that lately.
The gym that I went to in Florida,
CrossFit Havoc, shout out to them.
If you are an affiliate owner, free.
If not, it's twelve bucks.
Awesome.
Yeah, that is awesome.
I have a decent T-shirt collection,
Fergie.
Got some sweatshirts.
Got a few of my last couple games
shirts hanging on the wall.
And then just our typical RF logo.
We've got several of those.
You have a Tyson Bajan jersey too,
don't you?
And I have a Tyson Bajan jersey.
Some gyms I've dropped just ask for a
Google review.
That's all like, that is huge.
Uh, Jamie's twenty,
twenty four shirts cost me seventy five
each.
I did not charge seventy five.
Stop it.
That is not true.
Uh, Jamie, that's my old gym in Florida.
I was just there visiting.
Oh, that's awesome.
Yeah.
I enjoyed it.
I'll go back for sure.
I went twice.
Yeah.
A lot of gyms were like free if
I bought a shirt.
Yeah.
I know Carolyn's asking for a link.
I've sent her a link.
Oh, there she is.
Now she sideways.
Do you want it the other way?
This way?
You're actually sideways.
There we go.
There you go.
There we go.
I don't have headphones right now or
anything.
We got Becca Voigt in the chat.
I'm going to charge you to drop in,
but you can stay longer than an hour.
Yeah.
That's the other thing.
I,
I also don't like dropping in if I'm
not going to be able to stay for
more than an hour.
I mean,
usually if I'm going to plan that I'm
going to plan to go do like,
I'll do like their class wide and then
like another piece of my own program
programming.
I'd like to see other classes,
so I don't mind doing that,
but I also have other stuff that I'm
trying to do.
Uh, Caroline, I know you like,
and she's gone.
uh it's just one it is the weekend
for everything to happen like this most of
the time like when i was dropping in
i did it for the experience and
Like I tried to drop into people like
Becca Voigt's gym or Stacey Tovar's gym or
whatever,
just to like see where they work out,
not weird stalker thing or anything like
that.
Just trying to see where everybody worked
out and what the experience was like.
Judy, Canadian internet.
You would think, but it's not.
She's in California.
I thought I could click to see the
comments,
but the moment I click to see the
comments on my phone,
it kicks me out of the actual thing.
So I'm good now.
I just know I can't read any of
the comments or see any of the comments
even.
Stay out the comments, Carolyn.
Stay out the comments.
No, I thought I could,
but I obviously can't.
I should have fun Wi-Fi here now because
I'm not under the Wi-Fi.
I'm under my
uh eric mackie scott you haven't been
muted today at an hour well you just
jinxed it yeah because here we go probably
probably so let's talk about what did
happen at wadapalooza not what couldn't
happen and that is that both james and
lucy two-time two-time wadapalooza
champion back-to-back um
James was in a different class and Carolyn
kept texting that to us all weekend long.
He just looks like he's ready to take
on anything at any time, any place,
any weather, whatever comes at him,
he's there.
Yeah.
Well, he stays ready.
That's what I like about James.
The fact that he's willing to do WFP,
the fact that he enjoys competing and he
wants to be, it's like Carolyn,
like she just stays in shape.
There's none of this peaking.
The dude's just, he's just incredibly fit.
I love that about him.
He almost had it in the bag going
into the last event.
Like he was almost a hundred points ahead
of people in what four events.
Yeah.
That's crazy.
Like that's crazy.
Like he's just,
just the other guys are not even close
to him right now.
They have too big of holes and James
doesn't have many right now.
Like the strength part,
he's closed the gap.
It is crazy because you would think with
the way that field was,
you would think there'd be like four or
five other guys who were consistently
getting two through four.
Right.
And so it should have just been.
And I know the point spread was a
little bit different,
but like even if he was always getting
first,
you'd think there'd be like two guys
getting second and third a lot and staying
somewhat near.
And yeah,
they're everyone else is just all over the
place.
Fergie asked me what my favorite hotel
workout is.
I have not traveled for business in a
long time.
Since the teens, I haven't traveled.
But I used to because it was my
weakness.
My favorite workout in a hotel was four
hundred meter intervals on a treadmill
because that was my weakness at the time.
And that's what I could do at almost
any hotel gym is hop on a treadmill
and run four hundredths.
So that's what I do a lot of
the time.
And I would usually supplement that with
maybe some double unders, maybe some, uh,
if they had dumbbells,
I would do something there.
Um, and then if I had to,
I would do some burpees.
I do dumbbell Kelsu a lot.
I'll just come up with like an email,
um,
like twenty minute email or thirty minute
email and pick four to five movements,
hit a cardio in there,
hit something with the legs.
upper body press, pull some sort,
and just move for twenty to thirty
minutes.
That's what I normally try to do at
a hotel.
I did want to show you this, Carolyn,
because I know you love these comments.
Nice arms from Teresa.
Yeah.
Sometimes, sometimes.
Um, I need, I need some, uh,
I know I need, I need some sun.
Even in those Canadian winter.
Yeah.
I soaked up all of a sudden that
I could soak up.
Oh, uh,
train all of says dumbbell cow Sue mind
blown.
Yeah.
I, I don't like, I don't like thrusters,
so I try to force myself to do
them sometimes.
So, yeah,
so that happened on the individual side.
I don't think enough happened other than
that one event was so much fun to
watch on the team side.
And then we always cut short.
But I think we were in store for
a pretty awesome match on the women's side
for sure.
And maybe even on the men's side.
I think the go-odd boys were starting to
pull away.
But on the female side,
I think there was multiple teams that
could middle.
You know, you had like Annika, Jessie,
and Sydney could do well on a workout.
Then you had Gabby.
Paige and yeah those ones the Yeti girls
like there was multiple teams that could
play a factor on different events to make
it competitive and interesting on the
women's side I think on the men's side
after the run which can get some
specialists to kind of enter like on a
pure run monostructural like their first
event I think Golod was about to win
the remaining ones yeah
who impressed me was the mayhem team with
Guy Saxon and Jorge.
And I think that,
I think Guy and Jorge would make a
great team.
I think they're better team athletes than
individual athletes.
I mean, we,
we know that of Jorge and Guy would
make a great team athlete, right?
Like he would be the best team athlete,
give that kid some rest and he's going
to do some damage.
he's shown it like when at water palooza
socal when he's on a big team right
yeah that put him out for an event
he's gonna crush um so i i wanted
to see more of that to see kind
of where they were at with all of
that um and i thought they were the
only competition for the gowad group you
didn't think the boys yeah i mean when
when they lost chandler
I actually thought Roldan would be a
better teammate,
but I don't know if he's just not
quite there in this season right now.
That guy's usually quite fit.
I'm not familiar with him.
Here's what I'm going to say.
Noah and Travis were legends and icons of
their time.
But I just don't think they're at that
level to compete with the best of the
best anymore.
With these super teams like Jason, Justin,
and Dallin.
Like Jorge, Saxon, and Guy.
They're just not at that level anymore.
Yeah.
They're going to be solid.
They could have taken a nice third.
Yeah.
And podiumed,
but they were no way going to compete
for the top.
So.
Gee, Jorge,
and who be the ladies for CrossFit Mayhem
two point oh.
Well,
CrossFit Mayhem two point oh has already
been announced.
Yeah.
But if you took those two ladies and
put them with Gee and Jorge, who?
But Jack's not too shabby.
I know.
Yeah, I like Jack.
Yeah, so I don't know.
I don't know.
If you were making a true super team,
you put Paige and Haley on that team?
Yeah.
But Paige may be competing for an
individual glory here.
I would not.
If I was Paige,
you keep doing what you're doing, girl.
I mean, Scott,
we've been saying it now for...
six months, whatever.
We've been expecting big things to come of
her.
I'm excited to see how the season goes.
Yeah, she looks...
She looked like the best woman in the
team competition.
For one event.
Yeah, I know, but head-to-head,
I don't usually see people who look like
they can take down Danielle and stuff like
that.
Danielle's just...
super athletic when it comes to stuff like
that.
And she was moving that dumbbell.
She looked smooth.
We ain't changing your mind, Jeremy Scott.
I agree.
uh judy does mayhem have two teams no
i think what's being referred to as the
new version of the mayhem team two point
oh the old version the new the new
version of the next version after rich
rich's team yeah because they have angelo
i'm sam demeester zoe and molly yeah
But they were still kind of from that
old guard.
Now it's kind of like a new guard
taking over.
They had two teams.
You're not allowed to have two teams.
Per affiliate,
they went out of Henderson or whatever.
Was it Hendersonville they had to go out
of with that second team?
Yeah, I think you're right there.
i think uh scott's uh i think he
lost his uh it's not a coughing fit
it's a mic issue we made it an
hour and ten minutes gal darn it
But no,
I think on the team side this weekend,
I think Go Odd was going to run
with it.
And then, yeah,
I really don't know what would have
happened on the female side.
I guess we're just waiting for the
results.
Have they been updated at all?
Have you looked?
I can look.
See if anything's updated on the woman's
side to see if anything's finalized there
after their fourth event.
I mean, who would you have?
I think there was a lot left on
the table that could have swung things.
Especially like podium spots can get
shifted and stuff like that.
Would you have bet on Yeti girls?
Would that have been your...
I don't know because Paige's team is good
too.
I know.
And that's the Just Girls team.
It wasn't done.
I know, I think it was okay.
So there isn't anything in from,
it was two to two with just the
three events that Yeti girls over just
girls.
I think,
I think it was going to be a
tight match between those two all the way
to the end.
Can you hear me now?
Yeah, I can.
Okay.
That's curse you, Eric Mackey.
No.
I love that Yeti Girls is Canadian.
I mean,
you only have Emily on there that's
Canadian.
Two-thirds of the team is.
It's Yeti, the cooler, right?
Oh, I don't know.
Is Yeti a Canadian company?
I don't think so.
Their stuff says made in the USA.
Okay.
So it's just because probably Emily is the
team captain and she put in her.
I think Yeti sponsored them.
I know,
but if you look on the leaderboard,
they have a Canadian flag.
Oh, okay.
And then Just Girls has Gabby's flag,
so she must have been the captain.
Yeah, that's how it's working.
Yeah, Emily put the team together.
That makes sense.
Captain gets the...
Or signed up the team anyways.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
All right.
So I think we've cheated out a pretty
fun weekend of watching,
but hopefully some stuff will be coming
down the pike where we can watch some
more stuff.
We talked about twenty six point three a
little bit,
but I did have one question at looming,
and that is,
do you think it was a complete test
this year?
I mean,
this argument has been stressing me out
over the weekend.
I keep seeing all the posts and people
commenting on it.
I mean, I've made comments on Instagram.
I've said it in the past.
What's the base of the pyramid?
We need to start there.
Carol and I have talked about this,
and I think part of the problem is,
sure,
when you compare it to the
the open it's different because that was
five weeks and yes,
you can have a more complete test.
That's why I think both Carolyn and I
agree that the open should carry into
quarterfinals.
It should be one big score because then
it does matter and you can continue to
expand on the test and you can think
of it more as the five week,
the way it is now, it sucks.
Cause it,
you just kind of lose this super base
level aerobic fitness.
And you,
then we go test the heavy skill stuff
and it's like,
I mean,
what do you get out of that?
I think I think the scores need to
carry over personally.
This is so did it test much strength?
Not not that much.
Right?
Um, but, uh, the problem is,
is the scores reset over.
Sorry,
the scores reset over for the quarter
finals and, um.
the semi-finals and the thing is i think
we overemphasize high skill there and
strength and engine like the open is not
tested at that at that point and to
get through the open and that top is
pretty easy for the elites so you can
go and have high skill a lot of
strength but moderate engine but you can
hide your moderate engine a little bit
because the emphasis is so big on at
that level
On the high skill,
you're stuck on a movement in the
quarters.
You're not heavy breathing on a lot of
the watts.
You're not stuck by your engine.
And it's unfortunate because people don't
complain at that level.
They're like, oh,
you guys got your stuff in the open.
But the score started back over.
So if you combine both,
then that gives you...
pretty bad you're turning into a robot
still we can hear you is it bad
That's better.
Okay.
But I just think it gives a better,
I just think it gives a better picture
of the athlete when you include the open
style scores, which are,
are more metabolic conditioning base,
lighter weights.
There's an area like that's different than
what we test in the semifinals.
And both are equally important.
They're equally important,
but we put so much emphasis in the
quarters and semis on strength and high
skill because it's lacking.
It is lacking in the open,
but we put all the emphasis there.
less so on the engine.
But the score started over.
And that's a step that's getting you to
the next.
And the semifinals is even more high
skill.
And, you know,
now you add the machine and power output.
And all of the lightweight engine stuff is
not seen at semifinals.
But the score started over again.
So we're just putting the emphasis on
different things at different stage.
Right.
CrossFit asks,
should we stop comparing the three-week
three-week era open to the five-week era
open.
Of course we should.
It's apples to oranges.
Right.
And someone else asked, more importantly,
does the open need to be a complete
test?
I would argue no if the scores continued
and we could get an overall test combined.
But
Yeah.
I mean, I don't know.
I would say no,
the open does not need to be a
complete test.
It's a, it's a stage.
yeah i thought it was a good open
i thought it was i thought it was
exciting um we didn't have leaks this year
which i love because you actually get
surprised and confused by dave when he
tries to explain it um i thought it
was um a great participatory open this
year hopefully we can keep that momentum
going forward into the future and um
And yeah,
and I wanted to say something about the
crowds at Waterpalooza,
but I don't think it's fair to even
judge that because of the weather issues
that were going on.
So we never got a true test of,
there were times the stands were packed
and other times there were three people in
the stands,
but the weather was so up and down.
It was really hard to put any kind
of judgment on that.
But before we end tonight,
and I know we're getting towards the end
of the show,
have a little bit of breaking news one
is that xenon has announced all of their
events except one for their upcoming um
race and i can share that with everybody
so the only event that is not available
is event six
We have event one with the one rep
max snatch, event two,
the ascending ladder of wall walk and rope
climb.
Event three,
the sixty-second max echo bike.
Event four, the barbell cycling.
Event five, three K run,
two K echo ski.
we don't know six but seven is the
total bar dumbbell hang snatch muscle up
workout event eight is burpee echo ski
echo bike okay event nine is the heavy
clean ladder and event ten is handstand
push-ups chest-to-bar dumbbell lunge huh
and just to let you know what that
is six handstand push-ups eight
chest-to-bar twelve dumbbell lunges
sixteen minute am rap
Anyway.
Oh, in place like that.
Weird.
Hmm.
That's a long workout for that workout.
How long is that?
Sixteen minutes.
Holy cow.
Workout of the event.
Sixteen minute AMRAP is a lot for those
three movements.
Oh my gosh.
So the real breaking news.
is that someone won the lottery to get
one of the two hundred fifty spots that
were being given away.
And she happens to be on this show
to your far right.
Yeah, I'll give you one guess.
I didn't pay anyone to give me a
free spot.
Oh, OK.
I got the free spot.
I got an email.
I signed up.
It was free.
I was looking to see if there was
any hidden fees.
It was free.
I don't know if I'm going yet,
but I accepted.
So Callum was given one of the two
hundred fifty spots to go compete at the
first ever Xenon.
And what I'm going to try to do
is mail her my GoPro.
So if she does go,
she can give us a look at what's
going on behind the scenes at Xenom as
an athlete.
And then we'll take that footage and we'll
put it out for everybody to kind of
see.
We both signed up at the same time.
Only one of us got one.
One of them has a connection with Rogue.
Hmm.
I did not talk to Rogue.
That was out of a drawing hat or
a computer randomized.
I got picked.
You didn't.
Would you pay,
would you pay five hundred to go or
would you wait to see how the events
are going to, are going to be?
Because like I wouldn't pay five hundred.
Yeah.
I'd want to see what kind of event.
I just don't know how they're going to
get all those volunteers.
Like.
I think that's going to be interesting.
That's a lot of events in two days.
That's a lot of events in two days.
Yeah, I definitely wouldn't go to Dallas.
And their owner said, or the founder said,
the elite spots are going to be very
small.
So I think they're going to have really
good judges and really good people for
those heats.
And I think when you get to the
community level, it may be less judged.
Yeah.
But we'll see.
And I definitely wouldn't pay five hundred
to be in the community level.
I can tell you that much.
If it's like whatever the hell you want
to do.
CrossFit says they heard what you said
about all those high rock spots,
not being able to get those.
That's me.
And then going to Dallas.
Well, that that's the only U.S.
location at this point, right?
Yeah, my school year ends that week.
Like that's the last week of school.
I think normally like the Fridays,
Friday or Thursday is like a PD day.
And I think the competition is Saturday,
Sunday.
So technically I could go on the Friday.
If I have days left to take off.
Cross that says lottery.
Like when the player who nails a big
hit in the NFL is randomly tested.
Exactly.
Speaking of randomly tested.
Someone on this panel also got a random
drug test.
They saw my arms.
No, I got tested last week.
Is it last week that I got tested?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Last Tuesday when I was in Toronto.
It was funny because I had just sent
the day before where my whereabouts were
going to be because I didn't remember if
I gave the precise dates of my trip
to California this week.
And the night before, I emailed CrossFit,
and I was, like,
letting you know my whereabouts.
I'm going to go in California, like,
these weeks or this week.
And then the next day,
I get an email that I'm going to
drug test that day.
So, cool.
I'm glad they're testing in random spots
in the open and stuff.
Yeah,
randomly testing that random guy ripping
three hundred and eighty pound cleans on
repeat at Wadapalooza.
Andrew on Primo.
I saw that eye movement there, Jamie.
Something's telling me that you're doing
your own little natty or not on that
eye movement.
My face is easy to read.
Well, congratulations to Carolyn.
It's going to be fun to see what
the event's like and get a first hand
account if she goes to see what all
that is.
And then the last thing I had is
WFP put out a press release.
This was just a quick hitter news fact
to end the show on.
They've hired a third party company,
Intrepid, Intrepid, Intrepid, Intrepid,
Intrepid, Intrepid, Intrepid, Intrepid,
Intrepid, Intrepid, Intrepid,
sorely needed,
today announced a new partnership with the
World Fitness Project and Emerging Global
Sports Property,
redefining the structure of professional
fitness competition.
Under the agreement,
Intrepid-XXII will lead and support core
commercial initiatives for WFP,
including sponsorship prospecting,
sales strategy and execution,
partner management,
and the development of integrated social
media and content programming.
The collaboration is designed to
accelerate revenue growth while
strengthening WFP's brand presence and
partner ecosystem.
There you go.
Their competition was free to sign up as
well.
So I qualified for that.
This week got my official invite.
No fees to sign up.
I was shocked.
To go to WFP?
Yes, for free.
Because every CrossFit semifinal is like,
four hundred to four fifty American.
Which is like, crazy Canadian.
That actually is good to hear.
Because that's what I've said in the past.
I feel like you're putting a barrier up
against the challengers.
So that's really good to hear that it's
Yeah, it was free.
So shout out to that.
That is awesome.
I was surprised because when I filled out
the registration,
I was wanting to see how much it
was going to be.
And then I was like, oh,
I'm signed up now.
I love that.
Yeah.
So I was I was happy with that.
I thought that was cool.
And I thought the same thing, too,
of the disadvantage for the challengers
needing to do the qualifier.
pay their registration.
I mean, our flights and hotel would,
would need to get, you know, paid, um,
which is still an expensive thing,
but at least saving agreed, you know,
for me, closest hundred Canadian,
probably just on registration because all
the registration for the comps that I go
to are so expensive.
Yeah.
Um, uh, Anna Shoup said,
I saw Carolyn on the behind the scenes
of CrossFit games and she did look so
jacked.
That's why they tested her.
Are you sure that was me?
It was a clone.
Fergie says third-party sponsorship
sellers never produce unless it's IMG.
The interesting piece of this, Fergie,
that I'm fascinated by is when WP first
came out, they promised...
more exposure for the athletes through
their social media and their content.
And they have fallen so far short on
that.
So far short.
And if they're going to do,
if this company is going to do something
about that, gosh, I hope so.
Like a year and a half into this,
finally getting somebody that may actually
produce what you promised,
I think is important.
Yes, that's what they said, CrossFit.
Exposure through never-before-seen ways.
And still never been seen.
Also, in the same breath,
hire the buttery bros for the same ways
it's always been done.
Yeah.
And Carolyn is going to wear even bigger
shirts to hide the guns.
That pumped it.
I just like wearing t-shirts when I work
out.
Like the odd time I'll wear tank tops
in the summer,
but mostly I'm a t-shirt gal.
I'm not a sports bra type person ever.
Like you'll never see me in a sports
bra.
And if you do,
it's because I've redlined and I'm
delusional.
Eric Mack,
any news views for the Madison yet?
I watched the first episode last night.
What's the Madison?
It's a spinoff of Yellowstone.
Oh, I haven't seen that.
It's a, what's your name?
Michelle Pfeiffer and Kurt Russell.
Uh, yeah.
Is it Marshall's like a spinoff of it
too?
Yep.
Okay.
Have you seen, I can not,
I'm drawing a blank on the name of
it now.
It's, um, Nicole Kidman,
but it's supposed to be like a lioness.
No.
Okay.
It's,
She's like the redheaded.
I don't like,
I feel like it was supposed to have
like ties to Reacher.
I don't know.
I can't think of the name of it.
So they are supposed to be doing a
spinoff of Reacher.
That is the partner, the woman.
Yeah.
Well, that's Neely.
Neely.
Yeah.
No.
Called Neely.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I did see that.
I saw that news like yesterday.
Where's Carolyn that it's still sunny.
She's in Northern California.
not Southern California.
An hour from like San Francisco area.
Train Olive.
There was an update to the elite men's
leaderboard.
Now Koski is in third,
not how fat field.
Let's see if I can get the girls.
Oh, it's Scarpetta.
That's from the elite individuals from
yesterday.
Yeah, that doesn't make sense.
What she said, she's saying.
Hatfield was doing okay,
and then he bombed his lifts.
When he was even,
when they did the recap today for when
they were doing teams,
said Hatfield had taken third.
So that's weird.
Yes, Mark Phillips, Scarpetta is it.
I have not heard of that.
Has anything been updated on the elite
teams?
No, I just checked, just refreshed.
Uh,
SEMA says I can't have anything touching
my scapulas on the ski.
I'm a tank top girl.
When that's programmed is Yellowstone,
the Avengers for old white dads.
Uh, my wife is really into it,
so I don't think it's just dads.
I guarantee you watched War Machine
already.
I have not.
I have not, and I almost did.
I almost watched it last night,
but we watched Rip instead.
I'm a big Ben Affleck.
Rip was tough.
I bailed on it when I shouldn't have.
And then when I came back and watched
the end, I was like, damn it,
I should have hung on for like five
more minutes.
Yeah.
It got much better.
Yeah.
It was exactly what I expected,
but I like Matt Damon and Ben Affleck,
so.
It was good.
Mark says, Eric,
no way are your thumbs-upping War Machine.
I'll probably watch it.
Is it not good?
I had high hopes for it.
I was either going to watch that or
Rip, which I ended up watching,
or People We Meet on Vacation,
and I have completely different ends of
the spectrum there.
I couldn't really decide.
Shelly Young said, we watched War Machine.
It was good.
A throwback corny B movie with an A
cast.
That's rip, I think.
Eric said, I am thumbs upping it.
Like Predator and Battleship got exactly
what I expected.
Yeah, sometimes you just need dumb action.
Yeah.
And that's all you're looking for.
You don't want to think movie.
Yep.
So I'll probably check it out at some
point.
But a whole bunch of new shows came
out.
one i really liked was rooster uh that
came out on hbo max it's steve carell
uh episode one just launched sunday night
or no maybe maybe episode two's tonight
are you caught up on pit yeah i
need to watch the other nights but i'm
pretty caught up well there was a new
show that came out with um oh
He's like an ex-con who's now like a
PI.
Yeah, I haven't watched that.
You haven't watched that one?
J.D., J.R., R.J.
something.
Yeah.
R.J.
Decker.
It's March Madness.
Ain't got no time for TV.
Well, all the shows are going to start.
I never know.
I'm watching sports and that's it.
Speaking of March Madness,
we've got our bracket challenge going on.
The Clydesdale Media Challenge.
It's called Clydesdale Media Jazz Fest.
Versus.
The code to get in is jazzy.
and it's it is our yearly attempt to
not let jamie win the trophy again we
have a men's bracket and a women's bracket
um you can play both both will win
a trophy last year was a trophy in
a ring i'll probably try to do something
similar this year but just use jazzy uh
in the private
Part of that to get in the link
is in the description of this YouTube
video and,
or you just search for Clydesdale media
jazz fest.
Brackets are live.
Get in there.
Yep.
Get in,
fill out your brackets and let's keep
Jamie from winning.
The more of you that sign up,
the better chance Jamie doesn't win every
trophy.
I need a shell company for my prize.
Well, this is free to join.
We're not paying out.
We're just doing trophies.
So it's all for fun and bragging rights
in the chat.
With that,
we're going to call it a night.
It's been fun hanging out with everybody.
What a wild weekend.
Hopefully,
we'll get back to some sense of normalcy
moving forward into quarterfinals.
But with that,
we'll be back tomorrow for lunch with
Clydesdale,
and I'll be back next week with Sunday
Night CrossFit Talk.
With that,
we'll see everybody next time on Sunday,
Sunday, Sunday Night CrossFit Talk.
Forgot to hit the button.
