It's been a wild twenty-four hours, man.
My mom actually flew out to Montana to
be with my daughter.
My daughter came here.
They flew back together.
Last night, my mom was coming in.
Had to go pick her up at the
airport last night, late.
Got in, got to bed after midnight.
Had to be up for work today.
You know what?
Thank goodness I have Thirdsy to get a
deep sleep when I don't have the full
night to sleep.
I took my Thirdsy, got a deep sleep,
about six and a half, seven hours,
but it was nice, restful, deep sleep.
And you can do that too by using
the code Jazzy at checkout.
That's Jazzy at checkout.
Or you can go to thirdsy.com backslash
Jazzy and get yours today.
So a lot happened this weekend.
I was listening to Savan this morning.
He called me out for my analysis of
the UFC or not UFC,
the MMA fights over the weekend.
And he was on point.
I have totally become a casual fan of
MMA.
And so when I am looking at an
MMA fight,
I don't get to see it week in
and week out.
And the reason is I cannot stay up
for the West Coast fight times.
They don't even get...
The main event doesn't even get to the
ring generally until one o'clock in the
morning.
Who can do that?
Who...
i can't when i was younger sure i
could do it but these days man one
o'clock in the morning is so hard for
me to get to so i don't i
don't watch every week netflix offered me
the opportunity to watch a fight a little
bit earlier i took it i thought the
fights were action-packed they made the
point that they were very overmatched
which makes sense because
Most of the fights ended in the first
round.
And so... I get their point completely.
I used to be the biggest boxing fan.
I would get all the pay-per-views back in
the day.
The Holyfields, the Tysons,
the Lennox Lewises.
I loved all that stuff.
And...
And then it just got to be where
boxing became a joke.
I started watching UFC.
I enjoyed it,
but it just kept getting later and later
and later.
And I just, I couldn't do it anymore.
Just Vermeer as UFC fights aren't worth it
on the East coast.
They're just, they're not.
And a lot of times, like,
so like this weekend,
I stayed up for that Rousey Corona fight
and it was over in
So I stayed up till midnight,
watched the fight.
It's done in seventeen seconds.
I could have watched the whole fight on
a reel the next day.
The whole fight.
But I did enjoy the other fights and
I enjoyed.
I really did.
I really enjoyed the whole card.
But I do see what they're saying that
they were overmatched.
So, yeah, I get it.
Yeah,
that fight could have been an email for
sure.
For sure.
So...
Last night we talked a lot about the
French throwdown.
We'll go over it briefly today.
Jason Hopper dominated the French
throwdown this weekend.
If you didn't watch,
my big question to Jamie and Carolyn
was...
Is Jason Hopper that good?
Or is the European men's field depleting
that much?
And I asked that question because because
Moritz Fiebig took second place.
he is a twentieth,
twenty-fifth place athlete at the games in
his best years.
So,
is the European men's field just declining
that much?
Like, it's kind of sad.
Like, we don't have the BKGs anymore.
We don't have the Yonakoskis anymore.
at least they were good at like aspects
that they could compete with the elite of
the elite.
And I don't see like Moritz Fiebig even
being a guy who's going to compete with
the elite on any one event.
So, um,
Harry freaking Lightfoot got sick too.
But even Harry,
I don't think Harry has developed into
that elite level yet.
He may get there,
and it could have been a different story
had he been able to compete this weekend.
But it's just crazy to me that they
have fallen so far.
Andrew Sten,
not sure it should have gotten three game
spots.
That's a bold statement, Andrew Sten.
But I kind of don't disagree with you.
So... Mark Phillips, both.
For the same reason you give, Moritz.
Uh...
Others could have traveled.
They just didn't.
But if you're traveling in, Mark,
then you're not Europe, right?
If the best you can put on the
floor is Moritz Fiebig,
then you are not a strong field going
forward.
And again, Harry Lightfoot got sick.
Victor Hoffer already punched his ticket
at Mayhem.
So they do have those two guys.
But again, Harry's developing.
Victor hasn't stayed healthy for a season
yet.
We don't even know where he is.
So I think the field is weak and
getting weaker.
The only hope is that Victor Hoffer turns
himself into an athlete that can compete
with the best of the best.
The men don't have the high-level
competitions anymore, sadly.
I would have expected more from a margin
of victory from Hopper with that field.
I think, Joseph,
that Hopper pulled the old Rich Froning,
looked around,
only did what he knew he had to
do to get his ticket.
I did get a sense,
even on that front squat,
that he was still nursing that groin
injury,
and he was only doing what he needed
to do to get to the games.
Mark says he agrees that the field is
weak.
I feel bad saying that those guys are
really fit.
And then, like,
to put the black mark on not only
a weak field,
but one of the guys that you gave
a ticket to the CrossFit Games was
publicly outed six months ago on a podcast
with Peter and Adrian Munweiler saying
that he left human growth hormone in a
refrigerator in Majorca.
That is an embarrassment.
If one of your top two athletes was
outed for using performance-enhancing
drugs,
that's a huge black eye to Europe as
a whole.
Huge black eye.
Now, I know innocent until proven guilty
But there's a lot of circumstantial
evidence around this and even more than
other people that we have doubted.
And even if he didn't do it,
the doubt is there because of the
evidence.
I got a comment last night in the.
on the YouTube for last night's show
saying,
I hope CrossFit does a random drug test
just to tell the guy,
we know what you did.
We're checking randomly.
Do I think CrossFit will do it?
No.
Do I think it's a good idea?
Sure.
But you'd have to catch him like the
day of he was cycling yesterday.
get the european men to level up they
need some athletes to perform at elite
level and keep doing that for some time
i don't disagree frida so i do think
that random drug testing is the only way
to like go after
the HGHs of the world,
these things that have a half-life that is
so short.
It has to be off-season.
It has to be when they would strategically
do a cycle to get ready for the
games.
And CrossFit would have to take a
strategic approach to that.
I don't know if they have that in
them right now with everything else going
on.
And the person we're talking about is Nika
Mazzarazzi,
who finished third at the French Throwdown
and is going to the CrossFit Games.
Didn't they randomly test Nicolas Jaillot?
Remember him, or was that after regionals?
I believe, Barry, that he was tested...
because he qualified for the games at if
i'm remembering this correctly at the
atlas games he finished in the top five
at atlas and he got tested while he
was there yeah mark is backing me up
on that so it was an in competition
test
So that guy was just not even paying
attention.
So, yeah, I don't know.
I don't know what happened there.
I know he tested positive.
I just don't know why he thought he
could get through all of that.
And his ban is up June twelfth,
twenty twenty six.
Yeah,
we're getting a lot of people off bans
now.
A lot of people.
But not all of them are going back
into competition.
He had Ostrand and Carter in,
and Frida said that is a cocktail.
Sure is.
Got him way up the leaderboard.
Now,
on the women's side of the French
Throwdown, we have the exact opposite.
That field was stacked.
That field was unbelievable.
So competitive.
I mean, the top nine athletes,
any one of them on a good day
could have competed for that spot.
But it ends up being Miriam Von Roer,
Amy Kringle,
and Elisa Fuliano in that order.
Lisa Fuliano wins by four points over Leah
Storn for the last spot.
And Claudia Gluck was twelve points back.
No, sorry.
My math is off.
Sixteen points back.
Kringle will win the games.
I think that's a big leap, Barry.
I think it's a big leap.
I love Amy.
I think she's really good at certain
things,
and she's going to hit some home runs.
But I think she has a few holes
in her game that, like,
in this competition,
she had a ninth-place finish,
an eleventh place, another ninth.
she can't fall that far down the
leaderboard on the thing.
She's not awesome at.
So she, she is not strong.
So on the front squad,
she finished eleventh outside the top ten.
She had two ninth place finishes at the
French throwdown.
Granted, it was stacked.
Games is going to be more stacked.
Got to,
got to clean up those last couple holes.
What's crazy is just a few years ago,
she only had a couple home runs and
nothing else.
And now she has a lot of things
with just a couple holes.
So she's going to have to reduce the
effect of those couple events to win the
games.
And I'm not sure she has that over
a Lucy Campbell
I mean, she lost to Miriam here.
Even Emma Lawson, Alex Gazan.
Yeah.
Who do we think will win for the
women?
I think I picked already,
and we'll do it closer to the games,
but I think I picked Gazan to win,
Emma Lawson to take second,
and Lucy Campbell to take third,
if I remember my picks right.
But I think Kringle could fight for a
podium spot for sure.
Without Tia there,
It's pretty wide open.
Pretty wide open.
Jeremy agrees just in reverse order.
Tia just had her baby.
She's competing now.
Yeah, we talked about that last night.
Does CrossFit give her a special invite
now that she's given birth?
She has six weeks to train.
Carolyn made the statement last night that
if she did show up,
she would not finish last in any event,
six weeks postpartum.
And I can't disagree with that.
And that is crazy.
That is crazy to even like utter those
words, but she is such,
such a cyborg when it comes to competing.
She has it up here,
and she has it physically.
And I don't think anybody has the mental
makeup that Tia does.
I'm really interested to see how Miriam
does on the game stage.
She finished top ten last year.
Can she repeat it?
Can she improve?
Can she fight for a game spot?
Corey says, holy smokes,
it's six weeks to the games.
I may have been off on that a
little bit.
It's probably ten weeks to the games.
Phil Toon just got banned again?
He's not even competing.
How does he get banned?
Or did he get banned in another sport?
If you look at Phil Toon,
there is no question he didn't stop.
Paige Rogers is a force lately.
Dude, she would be my dark horse.
she would be my dark horse in this
race.
I think when I made the picks that
I made, it was prior to mayhem.
Now that I've seen her at mayhem,
she's definitely a factor for sure.
Uh, Barry said, joking.
I'm just, uh, just saying,
cause he's so big.
Yeah.
That man never stopped pumping the
cocktail.
That's for sure.
She can't train yet postpartum,
but we will see her at Rogue.
Andrea Nistler, I think, defied the odds.
The year, uh,
twenty twenty four CrossFit game.
She won the thirty five to thirty nine
Masters.
And it was not super long after she
gave birth.
But I know that's Masters.
That is not elite.
But it blew my mind.
Seeing her in person,
you would not even know she had given
birth months prior.
Or take a pics page to win it.
I'm going to wait until...
I'm going to wait until we get closer
to make new pics.
Amanda,
she did the final open workout on the
same weekend as her delivery.
Yeah, that's what.
And she did quarters.
There were quarters that year.
She had to do open, give birth,
do quarters, online semis.
And it was,
it can't even conceptualize what Andrea
Nessler did that year.
Can't even conceptualize.
But it is a true testament of the
fitness, wellness, sickness continuum.
Or sickness, wellness, fitness continuum.
She was so fit going into that delivery
that her body bounced back so quickly.
And T has got to be in that
same vein, right?
So...
Or she is an outlier.
Dude, I'm a,
I'm a strong believer in the sickness
wellness fitness continuum.
The higher you peg that meter to fitness,
the quicker your body bounces back.
The more you can overcome injury or trauma
to the body.
It's I think it's just facts.
Tia was five months post for Rogue after
Willow.
Wonder if she does the same thing this
year.
I think we just have to see if
Tia's going to compete again.
That's always up in the air.
So, yeah.
So that's that.
That's...
If you guys have not seen the new
Dutton Ranch show,
I cannot say enough how much I love
it.
It is the best spinoff from Yellowstone
yet.
If you like Yellowstone,
if you like Taylor Sheridan,
Dutton Ranch is awesome.
Jeremy is working on figuring out how to
get pregnant and give birth.
Seems to increase fitness levels.
I think the key, Jeremy,
is they were fit going into the pregnancy.
So you got to work on the fitness
now to even be more fit after.
You're leaving out the step.
Dutton Ranch, so far, so good.
Gosh, it...
Jay Birch, you seem skeptical,
but doggone it,
like I cannot wait for episode three.
Cannot wait for episode three.
Dying for episode three.
There are very few shows that make me
want the next episode that bad.
So I wanted to highlight...
Someone that hangs out in the chat with
us a little bit.
And Denise, wrong thing.
Denise Moore,
who is the reigning sixty five to sixty
nine year old champion.
And Cindy Hinkle,
who is the reigning fifty five to fifty
nine year old champion,
did a fun event that I wanted to
share with you.
And I just wanted to say,
if there is a better way of showing
what CrossFit can do again,
sixty five to sixty nine year old champ,
fifty five to fifty nine year old champ.
Have you seen this?
To be able to hang for as long
as Denise does with one hand is
remarkable.
What a,
an advertisement for what CrossFit can do
for longevity of fitness
I was truly astounded by what these ladies
pulled off.
I know it's kind of been done and
all over the internet,
but how fun seeing what these two women
can do from our older age groups in
the master's division.
Boom.
The next thing I wanted to say is
when I drive and I'm heading to Syndicate
here in a week and a half,
I crank up the radio,
I sing my heart out,
and nothing demonstrates what it's like to
ride in a car with me like this
video.
so that is me uh when i'll be
driving to tennessee to go to syndicate
this year uh nothing gets me there better
than some good music cranking the radio
and drinking my coffee.
That is so much what I do.
Probably, fifteen years ago,
I got three speeding tickets because of me
singing in the car.
No joke.
No joke.
You have to switch to the Michael McDonald
seamlessly or it doesn't count.
Of course.
Michael McDonald is the king of that song.
Such a long way to go.
Got to do it, man.
What music are we doing during that,
Scott?
If you looked at my Spotify lists,
it is all over the map.
All over the map.
It's whatever mood strikes me.
It could be anywhere from Pitbull to
Lincoln Park to Metallica to Christopher
Cross.
Like, and everywhere in between.
That's what cruise is for.
I know.
I am much better at using the cruise
control today than I was back then.
Ed says,
I hope you have your seatbelt on.
I do.
I wear my seatbelt.
Ortega, yes, I'm coming to Syndicate.
Got my media credentials ready to rock and
roll.
It'll be really like my first time back
since my heart's in rhythm and all of
that stuff, so...
I'm glad you said Metallica.
I imagined a wolf and man for you.
Yeah.
I, uh, I like, like,
I'll tell you like my three favorite bands
ever.
This is how diverse my world is.
Are you to Van Halen, Billy Joel.
Those are my three all time favorite
bands.
Bands, performers, people, whatever.
It's all over the map.
So there you go.
Holly Dugan,
our amazing stats and information person,
who's been blowing it up weekend after
weekend after weekend.
So she likes Metallica.
Or take it.
What are you going to be doing there?
I'm just there for me.
I'll be covering.
Carolyn will be competing at NorCal,
albeit syndicate.
Hopefully we can link up with Jamie to
do some live stuff from there.
from both locations.
And just going to talk to athletes,
talk to coaches,
do what I can to get information.
And I need a new set of pictures
for my thumbnails.
So I'll be taking tons of photos while
I'm there.
Yeah.
And then if I figure out something to
pivot to on the fly, all the better.
Jason Bourne,
can I get a picture with you at
Syndicate?
Of course.
Just ask.
Although, just don't sneak up on me,
Jason Bourne.
Just don't sneak up on me.
Holly, the louder the music,
the better the spreadsheets.
That needs to be a t-shirt.
That needs to be a t-shirt.
um nice dude nice yeah uh Jay Burch
Elton John Creed ACDC Metallica yeah those
are all on my playlist Jay Burch all
four of those seen Elton John twice in
concert saw Creed before they broke when I
lived in Tallahassee and they were there
never seen ACDC I've seen Metallica way
back in the day
our Ortega will be there.
We're helping with the live stream.
I figured I knew,
I knew they were bringing in a couple
of my favorite, uh,
photographer videographers in for that.
So, uh, hope you guys kill it, man.
That's that would be so huge, uh,
for the sport, for the community.
If you guys can knock this out of
the park.
Data One says, pivot tables and Pantera.
Wow.
Holly, that might be too hard for me.
Might be too hard for me.
Sabaton Queen Van Halen for me.
Sabaton, Queen, Van Halen for me.
Love Queen too.
I'm not familiar with Sabaton.
I'll have to look that up.
Syndicate is not paywall.
Neither is NorCal.
So... Yeah, both will be free of charge.
Flow will be carrying NorCal,
but they didn't get the exclusive rights.
So... So you can watch NorCal...
both on youtube or flow with syndicate
it's just on youtube is my understanding
uh i guess this is in response to
pantera's too hard for me that's what she
said michael scott savaton is power metal
i'll check him out i'll pull him up
on spotify this afternoon
No paywall but donate to Spint because it
helps me.
Anytime an entity is out there live
streaming for free for us to view,
you should donate.
That is happening.
You would pay to go to a movie.
You would pay for a streaming service.
Why not pay a couple bucks to the
people that are out there busting their
ass to bring you coverage of an event?
for sure.
And syndicate is only on YouTube,
the spin channel.
Yeah, I figured as much.
So yeah,
we got a lot of stuff going down.
This weekend will be Torian and rebel.
And then next week,
the following week will be syndicate
NorCal and Madrid.
Um, so, and then we,
that's pretty much it other than some
online stuff.
Semi-final season will be over and we'll
be heading into games, games time.
And I, and I,
I want to know if Ortega takes dollars
or pesos or EBT.
I think YouTube converts all that after
they take their share for sure.
Jay Birch,
five dollars from every viewer goes a long
way.
That's less than a single serving of
Thirdsy,
which you can get for fifteen percent off
by using code Jazzy at checkout.
That's Thirdsy.com backslash Jazzy.
Oh, yeah.
Everybody takes DojaCoin at AI.
Everybody.
That stuff is so valuable.
So valuable.
So valuable.
Well, I'm going to head out of here.
I've got to run some testing this
afternoon.
But I have a special treat for you.
I've come up with a new outro for
the show.
I'm going to debut it right now.
