croon heidi croon with an m cam uh in her usual spot uh she had to get there three days early to
get this uh spot this is the uh synchro workout synchro snatches and uh synchro muscle-ups ring
and bar 30 20 10 i know many of you are surprised.
I figured it out.
I'm surprised.
I figured it out.
And,
uh,
we,
uh,
have this,
uh,
15 minute time cap is Taylor self was just,
uh,
sharing with me.
There will be,
uh,
three heats in each male and female division.
And this is the,
uh,
ass female division.
I mean the first,
uh,
female division. No no it's the
ass heat you got to pull up that video we just got sent to the group text of bkg doing the row
in 20 seconds oh okay that's fucking insane dude it is so egregious his judge looks like she has
no idea what's going on he gets on the rower 10 seconds later her hand shoots up on a 240 meter
row and then boom he's off the rower and and i just hey i heard you
could game those rowers maybe he cracked the code oh maybe no like froning he cracked the code he
cracked the code i don't understand why he even thought it was okay for him to get up and and go
okay let me see uh what's the time code on that uh it's in the group 153 20 153 20 thank you
just so you guys know we're gonna have to watch this in um segments yep yeah and little uh
special portions uh this is the uh first first uh let me take us over uh before we do that let's go over to the
leaderboard and i'll show you what uh maybe taylor self can explain uh what what we're kind of not
freaking out about that's too strong but what we're watching here oh okay that's what we're
freaking out about they have a first place finish in event one and they should be nowhere near that okay so uh 955.06 and what
we're saying is is that somehow bkg came off the rower too soon they should probably be about 10 15
to 10 20 so they'd have like a six or seven place finish in that event instead of a first
okay let me see if i can find that thread. Okay, here it is.
Okay.
153.20, you're saying?
Yeah, maximize the screen.
That's fine where you're at because we get to see him run on and jump on the road.
And where is BKG in this mess?
He's not on yet.
They're going to show him get on.
Okay.
So if you watch next to Ben Smith in the screen,
see BKG just gets on his rower, black shirt, purple shorts.
He's rowing.
He's rowing.
He got on the rower at the 930 mark.
So look at the clock in the upper left-hand corner.
It now says 935.
He's been on the rower for five seconds.
All right.
Click play again.
All right. He's been on the rower seven seconds eight seconds oh there he is right there i see 10 seconds and his judge's hand goes up he's been on
the rower for 10 seconds it's a 240 meter row hey did you see him get on the rower in this video
that because that's the first time i've seen him right here on the left hand side next to ben smith he gets on he gets on 10 seconds ago and you can see him get on the rower in this video? Because that's the first time I've seen him right here on the left-hand side next to Ben Smith.
He gets on 10 seconds ago, and you can see him get on if you want to rewind it.
Yeah, let me rewind that because I missed it.
I was dilly-dallying.
Okay, right here.
Play from here.
When it splits off into two screens, look at the spot next to Ben Smith.
Okay, there he is.
Okay, there he is right there.
9.30, he starts rowing.
Okay. All right he starts rowing. Okay.
All right.
In the workout.
The camera angle is kind of clutch because we see the whole thing.
Like, if it wasn't on that spot, we would not be able to see.
Let me say some dumb shit.
He's pulling two for one for Ben Smith.
No, that's dumb shit.
You're right.
You said some dumb shit.
Thank you, John, for showing a little restraint i appreciate you uh showing a little restraint john you're not getting you're not getting hands up in 10 seconds on your fucking rower okay where is he
here when we cut back out to this wide shot is the guy standing up keep going up right there right there just underneath
him okay so he this blonde girl and this guy he's somewhere in this mess right beneath that
oh okay right there okay right there okay he's now 16 seconds into his row he got off the rower in
and look he's done he's done he's getting out. Hey, I didn't see that girl ever raise her hand.
She did.
She put her hand up.
Go back to the video.
Go back to the start.
If you go in the workout.
Yeah.
Oh, yes.
It's her hand.
The flip is she thinking, man?
I wonder what happened.
Do you think he was on calories?
Do you think he got on and his rower was already at 150 meters or something?
Okay.
Let me play a little devil's advocate here no no
susan looks like he's at a fucking riot oh no okay there we go um uh we what but he can't see her
isn't he looking at his monitor he must be and the only thing i can think of is that he got
onto his rower and he was already at 100 meters. Or she told him to go.
No.
Let's rewind a little bit and see
if there's any signal from her.
If her mouth says go,
go, go, and then he
you know what I'm saying?
And he just wasn't looking. Pay attention.
Now they're sprinting.
Nope. She didn't do anything.
She didn't give him any indication other than that she took her hand down.
What the fuck is that?
So then it's just a glitch on the rower then.
Wow.
All right.
Well, we shall figure it out.
Oh, there's Ariel. Hold on let's hear what ariel has to say
here there's oh there's ariel she said hi i wish you were here yeah i need someone that people
watch at the beach all right girl good luck we'll send her a link after the event
then we'll send you a link later if you're around.
I love it.
Sousa putting on the report pressure even though the event's just about to start.
Oh, Sousa, look at that.
Slipping into the warm-up area,
pretending like he's someone important.
Well done, Sousa.
We're getting aggressive towards the end here okay so suza this is the women's uh is that frederick and giddy is talking or yame
talking to annie frederick okay and so there that's basically those are all the top dogs right right there this is them yep laura athleys right there laura horvat
there's my girl laura horvat her sigmund's daughter what's the guy in the mic saying
oh there's my girl katrin david's daughter i like her yellow shoes. That's the guy who improves every workout ever at any competition.
Freya Moosebruger.
Alex Gazan.
You know who I think will be really good in this event
on the guy's side?
Who?
The Panthers team.
Jacob Heppner. Mmencer i think they would have been better with scott than tutor but spencer and tutor uh why do you say that well why do you say that scott
no but why do you think they'll be good at it well i just they all move really well on the
rings in the bar like they're both gymnasticsy guys, and then they're both around the same height,
so their synchronicity should be easier than somebody that's a different height.
Synchronicity?
Synchronicity.
Synchronization?
Yeah.
Lubricity?
Lubricity?
What's that?
How well they rub together?
Yeah, how lubricated it is.
What are you listening for, man?
I thought I heard a dog whistle, but it's a dog howling.
I see Andrea Nistler. I see Gabby Magawa.
I feel like this is Romper Room.
I see Jamie Simmons. Is that Jamie Simmons?
What? Romper Room?
Yeah, do you know that show?
No, what's that?
Show from the 70s or 80s.
There was a lady, like, and she had a mirror, and she's like,

Christine Kolenbrander having questions for the judge.
Of course.
Hang on.
I want to get some audio on this.
You think it just sounds like a bunch of birds squawking?
Yeah, let's hear it.
How close are you to them, Susie?
You must be close because I know that's a wide-angle lens.
Hey, can you turn on the audio?
Yeah.
I'm going to take you out of my head, but I'm going to make you laugh.
See if you can see.
Hey, you're uncomfortably close, huh?
Even though it doesn't look like it, you're uncomfortably close, huh? Even though it doesn't look like it, you're uncomfortably close, huh?
Hey, what he's doing right there is hard.
I used to hate that, being down there with the camera.
It was just fucking...
Pointing at these fucking athletes.
You're not sure what the fuck to do with yourself.
Yeah, it sounds like a fucking New York subway station.
Just mute it.
Hey, who's that girl in the gray right there on the right?
I love trying to...
I love imagining what they're all thinking.
Why is Susan so close to me?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's so good
ah i love it everyone's going to line up under their number they're told to line up under their
number how do you pronounce this guy's name will tebow why do you think pro crossfitters are
insufferable i haven't watched any of the comp most uh pro crossfitters are insufferable? Haven't watched any of the comp.
Most pro crossfitters are insufferable,
but I watched this stream to hear from Savon.
What a powerful force.
Why?
Oh, thank you.
Will's a regular on Fox News.
Did you know that?
Is he really?
Yeah.
What do you mean?
What does he do?
He has a senior position at...
And he's got a child, Will.
So that makes no sense.
He's got he is a has a senior.
He's a senior position at.
It's a think tank.
Fuck.
I think it's a think tank.
Remind me to look him up after the show.
That's a hot take for a Fox News anchor guy, man.
They're thinking, is this going to be worth being childless?
It's interesting.
I'm not sure what you mean by that. A of the men have no i think he well i mean wow will's coming in hot
what does that mean coming in like what they do to their bodies maybe he's maybe he's insinuating
they take steroids and it's making it making their the inability for them to ovulate i don't know
sounds like a fox news take oh easy easy easy, easy, buddy. Easy, easy.
I think all big media can suck my meat.
All right.
Fair enough.
All right.
So nobody from the first heat finished.
Okay, I'm going to.
Oh, really?
Wait, talk to me, Young.
Sorry.
Talk to me.
Talk to me.
The closest girls were four snatches away from finishing,
or four snatch cleans from finishing.
Right now, the second heat's going. I think the go wide girls are going to finish.
Jacqueline Dahlstrom's team.
It's 11 minutes in and they're on their last set of muscle up bar muscle ups.
Muscle ups.
Yeah.
Wow.
OK, finally, some good information, not just some shit talking from me and Taylor.
Thank you.
They look good, though. They're ahead of everybody by quite a bit go wide girls training culture wow yeah they're 24 reps ahead they should be in the next heat really man is your uh stream
freezing nope my stream is a-okay at the moment. They're 15 rips ahead because once they finish the cleans and snatches.
Yep.
I didn't see Barnhart in there.
Did you guys?
She's in the next team.
Oh, in the—
Sola moves really well.
In this corral.
There's Amanda Barnhart.
All righty.
Wow.
Hey, do you know how close Sousa is to them right there?
Thank you, Sousa.
That is just...
It's crazy shooting like that.
That's crazy.
It's so good.
You're killing it, dude.
What an experience that is to be part of the fucking posse.
It's like we're one of them.
It's like flying with a flock of birds.
You've done that before?
No, but yeah, kind kind of and they're done beautiful
you're ahead john you're ahead john keep it tight keep a tight lip
hey uh why aren't they finishing uh taylor what do you mean why aren't they finishing is it is
it designed that way no it's because the best teams
are going to finish look team go i just finished with two and a half minutes to spare uh training
culture is likely to finish i think team explode it's gonna finish best buds will finish invictus
chicks they'll all finish most of the second heat will finish yeah first heat didn't finish but
that's you know it's the first heat it's. It's like you say. What do you say?
What do you always say, someone?
Eat a dick?
Yeah, it's like that.
Chad B., I wish I was there again taking pictures and streaming.
I think that guy helped us with photography last year.
He took a picture of me, I believe.
What do I always say?
The best and the best.
The ass heat, man.
The ass heat.
Gotcha.
I always say the best and the best, the best as heat, man, the ass heat. Gotcha.
No, now is not, now is not the, uh, Johnny is saying, um, ask, uh, I appreciate Johnny asked Horvath the question. I don't think now is the time to, uh, talk to the athletes.
Laura, how's your back feeling? How do you feel? Yeah. Occasionally, I guess I used to do that in
the behind the scenes. I would feel them out. if someone looked at me and waved me over or something or i thought i could squeeze in a question yeah
shit i did used to talk to him when they were in this line huh in the corrals yeah always man come
on suza grow some balls ask somebody oh suza don't don't fuck yourself just do what you're
comfortable with don't don't do anything crazy uh
Mason Mitchell self said everything
after top 10 are slap dicks
that's what the world
that's what the world says man
okay training culture
finished
best buds and team explode
are about to finish there they go
30 seconds left.
Why do synchro?
I don't understand any synchro shit.
Why do synchro?
Well, since they're not facing each other, too,
it just creates a communication dynamic.
I bet Mayhem does pretty good at this workout.
It's just to test the team cohesion.
Communication.
Cohesiveness. Communication. I don't get it i don't get it why why
oh look at suze's look at oh look at suze's getting some love here we go
it's teamwork how you like that taylor i like that what you say what you say
no no no it looks great it looks great you ladies are killing it
they're practicing their uh victory handshake here it's top secret guys don't tell nobody though hey those are those are the great those are the great athletes too
the ones that are like able to ham it up while in the corral that's good shit oh dude the lighting
situation here is epic you see how they just turned it down and went pink and purple yeah
remember last year do you remember last year before celebrate 10 i work out when we were in
the corrals for like an hour and a half and no Olsen was doing his speech with Guido on the floor?
And Noah goes, listen, listen, my best friend Jake was a spectator.
He came and watched and I was on the phone with him yesterday.
He was like, dude, remember?
And he was making fun of it.
And the way he made fun of it was so fucking funny.
He was like, yeah, dude, Noah was on the floor and he was like, wow, 10 years ago, I was 22.
And now I'm 32 like some fast times at ridgemont high shit dude it was so fucking funny
uh will to bow to both the bow the toe uh taylor for what it's worth i was giving you mad props
earlier today you and seven are the anchors.
Don't be offended.
At least you're not John Young.
Love you, Will.
I talk shit about everybody.
Did he really say that?
No, I made that part up.
John took the bait.
He said, did he really say that?
Well, if you guys are the anchor, I've been an anchor the whole time.
Yeah, John is the boat.
John's the boat. John's the boat.
John, you're the latrine.
Bye.
Bye.
You're the latrine.
Stop it.
John brings the important element.
John brings the glue for our collegiate cohesion.
Fuckers.
Okay, let's go over to the Heidi cam.
These are the girls we just saw in the corral
Now you're looking at the Heidi Kroom cam
Damn, the lighting is sick
This is the last heat of women
Is it sick? Let's ask Heidi
Heidi
Hi
Are they going to turn the lights on?
Isn't it too dark to judge?
Yeah, I think they're going to
They're just flashing like birds
Angels sounds about right uh taylor reminds me of when i was young virile and sexually frustrated
it's good stuff it's like a, are the stands full, Heidi?
They're starting to let a couple more people in now.
I was thinking it's like the fire crew that's handling it.
I think they're just worried about it being too cold.
Too cold?
I was wondering if maybe they had different occupancy restrictions
based on if it's daytime or nighttime. Yeah i didn't say too cold i said if it's uh too cold like the number of people in
here oh to code not to code but to code not to code i got it right is that wisconsin accent
that's exactly it's It's the accent.
That was doing my hood accent.
All right, guys.
Final heat of the final workout, day one of the team competition at Water Clues in 2023. These are the best female teams ever anywhere put together and seen competing,
and they haven't let us down yet.
There have been some great races.
They are definitely
putting on a better show than this show.
10 seconds.
And here we
go. Oh, looks like
Laura Horvat is going first. Mal O'Brien.
They're
lined up. Oh, Mal and Katrin are having
some last minute communication before they go.
Dude,
that was not 10 seconds.
Right.
That's like when I tend to say 10 seconds.
Okay.
So there's a pretty fat delay.
Yeah.
I think we should mute Heidi and go back to the live stream so we can
commentate it for people.
Okay.
Thank you,
Heidi.
Yeah.
That,
that is a beautiful setup.
Hey,
Susie,
do you have any idea
how many people that venue holds i i have no idea but there's a lot of people here i mean the campus
is relatively small too if you compare it to the games so it's much more focused it's like you know
what i mean it's a lot it looks seems like a lot of people but it might not be compared to the game
attendant just because it's so smushed into one space and that was a 100 sexist i could ask heidi i just i just
have but i don't think she has a girls have a fucking clue of how many people sit in the stadium
what do you think let's check heidi how many people are in there how many i have no fucking How many?
I love you.
Okay.
What's going on?
Taylor, I love you too.
Don't feel bad.
What's going on, boys?
What are we watching?
We're watching the synchro muscle ups.
And as we were saying earlier, see Annie locks out.
Boom.
Then Katrin.
Annie's going to lock out first.
Boom.
Then Katrin.
So the bar muscle up, you're going to have a little more time, same time under tension, but more time under tension in the support position.
The rep doesn't take as long,
so they're going to have to wait at the top for that ring muscle-up.
We're going to see something similar on the barbell.
The barbell is going to take longer to lock out,
and the clean is going to have to stand at the top and wait.
Hey, this is stressful to watch.
A lot going on Yeah
Hey, I'm gonna work
I'm working on something for Brian
Revolving the BKG thing
So give me like three minutes
Or if not, I won't be saying anything
You're good, man
We will do our best to carry the show
I apologize
John Young has prioritized another.
I hope he gets the scoring fixed, dude.
Do your thing, bro.
Hey, I still don't understand the thing of synchro.
Like, it kind of looks cool, but I just don't get it.
In my opinion, it only looks cool if the movements are actually fully synchronized.
Like, everything's happening at the same same time and it looks visually pleasing.
So watching them,
watching one person do a rep,
hold it till the other person finishes.
I don't think looks as good.
Um,
they get to test more movement variations or modalities.
So Invictus team moving onto the barbell first,
following them,
Tori Dyson and Sydney McElishan.
Hey,
that shouldn't surprise you right there, right?
Devin Kim and Weiss getting off first.
They are a real games team.
Yep.
See how long Devin Kim is resting in the front rack?
And she's yelling at Weiss, right?
Down.
Yep.
Okay, they know what they're doing.
Now they're going to rotate.
This is Chandler Smith's wife jesse smith hey wouldn't you have rotated the other way um start with the snatch and then move
to the easier lift to clean i think devin kim is really good on the barbell okay so she don't give
a fuck hey but now the girl in the back i don't see her yelling down is that only devin kim who yells it
i think britney wise was yelling down but or maybe devin's the team lead and she's yelling down not
sure okay yeah they look pretty good there too catcher got it synced up that's pretty nice right
yeah they're not yelling either i wonder how they're communicating are they just waiting for their judge to give them the go
yeah that is true why aren't they what i'm sure they're getting an indicator from their judge
oh wow what are the weights here 115 on the snatch for ladies and 145 on the clean. 115 on the snatch, 145
for the clean. And they can rotate whenever they want. There's no rules. I think they're
rotating every five reps. I'm not sure. I don't know if there are rules. We're assuming they can
rotate as much or as little as they want, but it looks like they're rotating every five reps.
Let's count these reps.
A single scored event.
One.
Ooh, look at Gabby Magawa's overhead.
Something's not balanced.
You see how it's a little soft?
It's like curved.
Yeah, her right arm is pulling at a different speed
than her left arm.
Her right arm bends.
She's got a little internal rotation of the shoulder, which causes her to do that.
It gives it almost like a soft, circular shape rather than a nice, sharp triangle.
SMTP programming.
programming I like this shot for
perspective but then let's quickly move
on to
another shot
Branstetter says we need to shut the fuck up about
the live stream I just
what do you mean
complain about it too much
that's not even fucking close to being true I just, what do you mean? We complain about it too much.
That's not even fucking close to being true.
Dude, no, yesterday.
Yesterday and the day before, I was railing it.
Oh, I was complimenting it today.
Some guy was ripping it in the comments today,
and I was complimenting it.
That's furthest from the truth.
All right, what's going on?
We just realized that Branstetter doesn't listen to this show because he thinks that we rip on the live stream that's not so that internal rotation of the
shoulder on the snatch is not tightness from the muscle ups that's just a habitual or practice
position that is easy to get into if you have good shoulder mobility um it's it's not from
the muscle ups that's just a practice movement she She does it all the time. And so that's what her snatch looks like.
saying bad shit about her when we were saying great shit about her and like hey man we don't have to say anything bad about the feed when it stutters if the feed stutters like everyone sees
it stutter like it stuttered or it goes down we like it when it goes down great work seven when
we say that the feed is bad we're upset that it's up uh great work seven and his co-commentators on
the ground cameras and impromptu guests. Hey, Jeremy Garcia, thank you.
By the way, every cent that you guys have been donating is fucking awesome.
And it truly helps.
Like, more than you guys know it helps.
Like, it really helps.
Julie Duarte.
We don't have to pay for the live stream, so whatever.
Good, yeah.
LOL.
LOL.
Gotcha, I do the same thing with my elbows.
Lots of rumors. lots of rumors lots of rumors i got a live phone show lots of rumors i think the bkg thing will get fixed um they were having trouble getting row splits from everybody so i just tried to find all
the row splits i could for every single heat and then take an average of it
and then apply accordingly. I assume that's how they'll fix it, but I don't know.
That to elaborate a little bit on that shoulder position, you really have to, if you watch me
on the screen, if you have really good shoulder mobility and you catch a snatch with that
internal rotation here, that's what causes that circular position. Like a soft position is when you're
turned in and you really have to practice turning the armpit forward and driving the elbow straight
to get that proper shoulder position. It's not a natural feeling position. You really have to try
to get there. And it is the more mechanically sound and efficient position. You just have to
work to practice that. And it's challenging uh a good cue you can think
about is you have headlights in the armpits and you're trying to shine them right the road
rotate forward john uh does it look like uh these girls are gonna finish yeah no they're gonna
crush it we're at 7 47 with a uh 15 minute time cap are we gonna see a lot of men in the first heat also not finish i would assume
so um i think uh less um yeah i think the first heat might have trouble finishing but then i think
all the second heat and all the third heat will will finish the men should have an easier time
with this workout than the women but i don't know you think the men will have an easier time the weights are harder for the men
doesn't matter that ring muscle-up block out is just so much harder for the women than it is men
yeah but they're breaking every five regardless we'll see yeah yeah yeah you could be right
i'm gonna move this lamp at some point and put it in the corner that way
and see if it fixes my lighting.
Can I do that real quick?
It'll take a second.
Sure.
Yeah.
Who's on team BPN.
That is Laura Horvath,
Gabby Magawa and Jamie Simmons.
And Jamie Simmons is one of the greatest ring muscle uppers there are in the
field.
I'm surprised Laura and Gabby are doing so good though,
with that
being said well they're killing it uh they're they're winning uh five reps who's who are the
all-american girls that is uh amanda barnhart brooke wells and christy aramona o'connell all
right yeah they're absolutely killing it uh and and what is the name of the team
at the doters the doters are not in the top five right now the daughters featuring uh mob mob
you would think that i'm i'm a little surprised
yeah amanda and christy look great they're they're on the clean and the uh snatch
they do bp in is seven muscle ups in they're almost done they're almost done with these
before anybody even starts their muscle ups they're gonna oh i don't know if i don't know
if jamie simmons is locking out that arm That arm is definitely not locking out, that right arm.
Did you see that?
For the ring muscle-ups?
Yeah.
Do you want to replay it?
Yeah, I will.
I will replay it.
Regardless, they're on their weights.
All American girls took a break.
Mr. Unicycle, Ben Lett from Australia.

Oh, Nelly.
That's Gabby.
No.
No, it is Jamie Simmons.
It is Jamie Simmons, and those are not good, buddy.
I'm sorry.
Now, look, she does not have to hold it.
She just has to get to lock out at any point.
Buddy, those aren't straight.
Is that straight?
Cool.
I mean, that looks pretty straight to me.
Okay, okay.
It just has to be there a millisecond.
It doesn't have to be like held forever.
Okay.
All right.
And I guarantee you those muscle ups look just as good, if not better than all the rest
of the girls lengths.
All right.
All right.
I bet we see some sketchier ones from Catherine.
All right.
All right.
I hope so.
Okay.
Do we have, do we have someone who finished?
Yeah. Team BPN finished. They absolutely murdered everybody.
Um, the girls just finished. It's a great finish for them.
Humble killers just finished this fucking guy, Damian Castro.
Yeah. Fucker.
All American girls were second.
It looks like the daughters
are in the running for fifth them and invictus are one rep away from each other
uh mason mitchell uh sebon shut your pie hole you can't tell anything from that angle fair
fair i get it okay all right i'm good i love when you add things to comments thank you that's
my favorite thank you and that's my favorite. Thank you.

Okay, everyone, a moment of silence.
J.R. Howell's in the house.
How kind of you.
His lighting's worse than mine now.
Let's fucking go.
No, it's not.
He purposely wants to look like a ghost.
Dude, from that microphone angle,
I thought his beard grew another six inches in just the last two hours.
Probably did.
He got a weave into his beard.
The Daughters just finished 13-04,
two minutes behind the first place team,
a little shy of two minutes.
Was that...
So it was...
Was BPN first, and then All-American was? By a lot. Was that... Was BPN first?
By a lot.
And then All-American was second?
And then All-American girls.
And then the girls were third.

His name in American.
They both wear glasses when they compete.

Will Tebow, JR, what do you want most for your daughters in
life how does that influence how you raise them now my goodness she's dude
this is a sports show really i want them to just do whatever they're passionate about i don't care
how you know if they are done with school at 18 or if they want to continue to go to school
their whole life. I mean, that doesn't, doesn't bother me, but I really do hope that they
love, love their life or they change it. So I hope they do whatever they're passionate about.
That's it. Yeah. You're a good dude. Have you ever played Mexican train with dominoes?
That's not a sex position. That's it. Right where I went. That's right where my brain,
I've only ever played like regular dominoes.'ve only done a regular dominoes game so much fun uh yes uh christoph is there he was on uh

That's all I care about right now.
I just want them to make it through bath time without pooping.
Mason Mitchell, JR, what are your religious and political views?
That's going to take a lot of tequila, and I don't drink.
The stream has a CrossFit commercial.
I thought that was seven's job
zag jones okay uh let us go over to thank you for all the comments by the way i love you guys
um we are going to uh jump over can we look at the private chat comment real quick everyone
oh yes and then i'm going to jump over to the um oh i think i i it. I jump to conclusions. When you read it, you'll know how I read the private.
OK. What? They changed them.
We so right now, let's go to Heidi real quick and Heidi will give us tell us what's going on while we I pull up the leaderboard.
Heidi, hi.
Hi.
What do we got going on here?
The women are done for the night?
They're just pitching.
I think they're going to do the man-free one,
and then go back to the women.
Go back to the women?
Yeah, they have the women's weight staged here again. they're gonna do that after but wait a second why
aren't the women didn't the women's final heat already go
i guess so so i don't know what they're staging those for
is there another event maybe just setting up for tomorrow morning
point to me where do you see the women's weights
point to me in your camera yeah that must be okay okay gotcha i see what you mean by stage stage
okay no that's okay that's okay that's what it's all about you should see all the fuck-ups taylor
and john do before jr gets here i don't ever fuck up I'm perfect understood okay
John and Taylor did they
was that just like a muscle cramp
or like a spasm in his bicep or forearm
that Sam was dealing with
yeah he just bicep was cramping
cramping and then whining about it
oh maybe we could get
Samuel
Samuel on okay let's go over
to the leaderboard here.
And we will refresh.
Well, that's not good.
Okay.
And we will go over to – I click on women, right?
Elite team female.
Yep.
It's not updated.
And how do you know?
Because it's the sync up and squat workout?
Correct.
Okay.
And I scroll down and we see, oh, okay.
Only the first heat is in.
Okay.
So who won that?
Who won that workout?
Team BPN.
Team BPN.
Team BPN. Okay BPN, okay.
No, the Daughters got fifth.
I think they're going to be tied after this event
because the Daughters will get 80 and BPN will get 100.
So they will be tied.
Humble Killers will be third and All-American Girls.
Actually, the All-American Girls should jump them,
but they will be very close together so three four three and four will be
very very close and bpn and daughters will be tied and they're both kind of tiered off
i am going to uh oh thank you for the link copy
link copy Taylor how much more aggressive do you think the men will be on the muscle-ups compared to the females or do you think they will be any more aggressive like as far as sets and stuff
goes like knowing the 20s might be what hurts the most for either guy
i was thinking about strategies and who's out resting and what movement they come to and the
only really thing i came up with was what we talked about in the programming show that was like
whoever is going to have to do more ring muscle ups or snatching doesn't need to be doing those
movements consecutively so like whoever's out resting,
if they're going to have to come to the bar and do 15 straight squat snatches,
they don't need to be coming off the rings.
If anything,
they need to be coming off the bar muscle ups,
but ideally maybe they come from the rest station.
Yeah.
I think the guys are going to be a lot more aggressive.
It's only 20 reps total per teammate of muscle ups,
you know, of, of each muscle up if they split it up evenly. It's only 20 reps total per teammate of muscle-ups. You know?
Of each muscle-up if they split it up evenly.
No, it's not 30 ring and 30 bar synchro.
It's 30 total muscle-up synchro.
Yeah, but that's 30 ring and bar.
That's 60.
That's like saying that's 60.
60, 40, 20 muscle-ups done per set because each person's
doing oh that's right that's right they're doing them synchro yeah wow so each person's doing 30
reps total correct in the workout uh potentially it's nine uh 40 total
you know what's funny is i just confused it's it's 60 40 20 which is 120 divided by 3 which is 40
yeah it's 40 it's 40 for each if they split it up evenly it would be each person doing 40
however they chose to do it but like just talking to some of the people that are competing
like i think there are people that are planning on doing no cleans or no
snatches or all muscle ups ring or all muscle ups bar.
Like,
I think we're not going to be able to see that,
you know,
because they won't stay on one team for five,
six,
seven minutes to actually see how they're breaking everything up.
But I don't know.
It's just interesting to me.
It looked like going one second faster.
Hey,
Matt Burns, I was busted for stealing your
mom's virginity you fucker dude this never gets old this is fucking taylor
going one second faster between barbell reps looked like it was like
way more valuable than doing bigger sets on the muscle i busted on matt burns face
it's hard to do though which one faster on the muscle ups or
getting no rep hey when you when you look at this when you look at this leaderboard with the guys
it is actually pretty fucking cool to see um i would all of a sudden i'm wanting uh the smith
brothers to win um How cool is this?
These guys know each other well.
I mean, they're freaking brothers, right?
But you would never think that they're close to his fit of any of the guys in the teams above them, right?
Vellner, Fikowski, BKG, Noah Olsen.
I mean, these are all monsters up here.
And yet they're going to hang.
Noah Olsen. These are all monsters up here, and yet they're going to hang.
You've got to think, because they've spent
so much time together, because they're brothers,
this synchro event could have their name written all
over it.
Right?
No, I think there are other
teams that are going to do really well.
I think the Canadian team's going to
win this one.
The swim event
was very capacity-based,
very like you would say pure CrossFit,
but I think this workout
is the most pure CrossFit workout
of any of the workouts.
So I think like the best in the world
are going to excel on this workout.
Yeah, correct.
Seban, you got your TV on
for UFC Fight Night?
No, but it's driving me crazy but i'll watch
it tonight when this is over wait a second so you're putting a premium on capacity jr
you're like but this is like as far as synchro goes this is about as uh hard as it gets right
no i i think like the i think i guess maybe not as hard you guys all carrying the worms got to be
harder right yeah i mean there are probably different moves i mean there are movements I guess maybe not as hard. Carrying the worm's got to be harder, right?
Yeah, I mean, there are probably different movements.
There are movements that are more taxing to do. But just as far as classic CrossFit strategy and just being able to execute with no mistakes,
I think this workout is the one that you say the best CrossFitters in the world are going to be the ones that do the best.
No, I agree.
in the world are going to be the ones that do the best.
No, I agree.
Gymnastics with the push-pull involved in both the whole movement and weightlifting after.
And Dane and his wife, so, you know, the youngest Smith brother,
they've come to Crash a lot just over the years because her family lives
like within an hour of Spartanburg.
And I've gotten to spend a lot of time with Dane and something that's really cool is that he's,
he's super laid back,
super humble,
but Alec and Ben like have said before that as far as natural ability,
natural athleticism in sports,
like Dane is,
was the most gifted by far.
And he's the least well,
well known,
you know?
Yeah. Did you see his pistols as John was mentioning i didn't get to watch him but i've seen him do them at regionals
before yeah he might as well he pistols better than uh many athletes air squat i mean it was
crazy yeah all righty uh we are how far how many minutes into this workout are we? Six minutes. Time cap of 15 minutes.
It's heat one.
They transition pretty quickly.
Are there too many, are there too many heats?
Is this, does this take too long to unfold or is this okay?
I think it's fine.
Yeah.
Okay.
They're pretty quick on the turnaround in between heats i think that's where
people get uh mad at competitions is when there's 10 minutes between heats like they
they're it's a pretty quick turnaround when the heat ends and when the next heat begins
and i think that's um all you can ask for as long as you're watching fitness the whole time
yeah good point good point there there isn't a lot of downtime. Heidi, hi. Are all the seats full now? Are they letting people in?
They are letting more people in and it's filling up. They're just letting them in very slowly, like four people at a time.
And is it across from you, all the way across? Where are the people coming in at?
And is it across from you, all the way across?
Or is it to the, where are the people coming in at?
Well, there's several entrances.
So there's an entrance over here.
There's one in the middle over there.
There's one far across the way.
And then there's, I think, two on that side over there.
Okay, I do see a lot of empty seats. Like just now when you pan to the right, I see empty seats.
Yeah, there's definitely empty seats.
There's plenty of room.
They're just not letting a lot of people in at a time.
So I'm not sure why.
All right.
Thank you.
Mr. Souza.
Yo.
Is this rumor true that May mayhem uh withdrew wow uh i think i'm thinking so yeah
i mean i uh i spoke uh i spoke with one of the guys from them earlier and um yeah i was looking
like that may be the case i'm here at the warm bear right now i have not seen anybody from mayhem
and they tell you not to talk did they tell you not to talk? Did they tell you not to talk? Is that why you're acting weird?
Yep.
All right.
Fair.
Fair enough.
Okay.
We're seeing a lot of comments that say Mayhem with Drew.
Mayhem is out.
Okay.
That's crazy.
Yeah, that sucks.
I hope that everyone is okay.
God, this is going to be a shitty thing to say,
but I hope it was Samuel Cornway's arm cramping
and nothing more serious than that.
We did see his arm cramping when he was doing the D-balls.
Sousa, do you still see a massive line to get into Flagler?
I haven't been down there.
I've just been cruising the warm-up area.
I was going to wait for the call for the final heat of elite men to go down there.
But when I was there last time I was down there, yeah, I was going to wait for the call for the final heat of elite men to go down there, but when I was there
last time I was down there,
yeah, there was a massive line still.
Okay, because we're seeing
empty seats. It must have to do
with safety and the fire marshal and shit like that.
Yeah, I think it'd be hard to regulate it if you just
kind of open the floodgates. I'm surprised they didn't
at least just fill it and then shut it off.
But yeah, I mean, we talked about it last night, right? You were like, dude, is that thing going to collapse? And I was kind of open the floodgates. I'm surprised they didn't at least just fill it and then shut it off. But yeah, I mean, we talked about it last night, right?
You were like, dude, is that thing going to collapse?
And I was kind of looking at it like, shit, it's really full.
So I think they're taking that into consideration
because you can easily claim that thing with way more people
than it's intended to hold.
So they're just regulating it a little bit closer today.
Okay.
Hey, one thing I want to note real quick that you guys wouldn't normally see,
this might be a little out of context,
but the floor in the warm-up area here is kind of interesting
because it's all beat up brown.
So there's a tidbit for you.
Give me one second here, Sousa.
Rich Froning just posted,
not the weekend we're looking for during event one.
Samuel Konwaye strained or partially tore his bicep
but tried to continue on as a team.
We decided it's not worth it to jeopardize the season for this weekend.
Sorry, fans.
We are not going to be able to give you the show you guys wanted and deserve.
Bone photo courtesy of bone media.
Ken Walters in the audience.
Go ahead, Johnny boy.
Say it. Say it say it John say it
no
I mean I respect it
if you tear your bicep
this competition means
nothing in the grand scheme of things
do you think he tore his bicep
they just said partially torn or strained
oh wow
even if you strain your bicep it could just said partially torn or strained. Oh, wow. I mean, even if you strain
your bicep, the amount, like, it could
only get worse from here.
I have no problem with them
dropping out of the competition. I'm sending
a screenshot to you, Savon, to pull up on
screen. It's pretty fucking funny.
Okay. Alright,
that really sucks.
Where was that reported from?
The torn bicep?
Look at the screen, dude. Alright, sorry. I was that reported from, the torn bicep? His Instagram.
Look at the screen, dude.
All right, sorry.
I was sending an important fucking screenshot, bro.
Get off my nuts.
Just to piggyback off of that, the stuff that I was hearing,
that it was just a strain.
He's really looking forward to the individual season this year.
Six weeks out from the Open, they just weren't going to continue to take the risk
because if it is truly just a strain, six weeks out from the open, they just weren't going to continue to take the risk because if it is truly
just a strain, six weeks would give them enough time to recover,
to kind of get back in to hit the open full swing.
And I'm just looking at the longterm of it.
They just didn't want to take the risk.
I'm no doctor, but he's fucking toast.
Victor Brown, Taylor self is touchy touchy touchy i'm really not that sensitive but
let's pull that image up it's hilarious that's how we talk to each other all the time
uh i i can you tell me what instagram account this is on and i'll just go to that instagram
account this is on the waterpalooza oh it looks like a message no it's it's instagram
okay all right yeah because it's too hard to pull that it's Instagram. Come on, man.
All right.
It's too much of a pain in the ass to pull up the photo.
I wonder what the...
Do you remember what the picture was?
What's the topic here?
Elite women kicked off Saturday morning, jaw-dropping fashion.
Yeah, that's it.
That's it.
I just need to know
oh uh while while okay here we go here we go is this gonna get us
you guys have a recovery uh timetable on a torn bicep so it's so i have a guy at my gym um who just did a spartan race not too long
ago and he's a crazy fit dude but it's just got you know nothing but like grip stuff and he was
going to like grab one of the rotating bars or something like that and i guess he wasn't expecting
it to give like it did and tore his biceps tendon right there cur curled up into his deltoid area.
It was at the very beginning of the race.
He finished it and had surgery.
They said three months.
Basically, he's not doing anything.
He probably could do the over though.
His was a complete...
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Okay, this is in regards to...
We're trying to figure out what's going on with the
leaderboard over there it looks like there was just a a mishap on bkg's row or like maybe he
didn't row the uh entire length clearly not his fault we saw the judge putting the hand up we saw
the whole shebang craig hayes 1999 thanks dude like craig response not craig greg greg greg greg
thank you uh while the elite women kicked off Saturday morning in draw dropping fashion, it was time to pass the baton to the fellows and see what they could do.
It goes on to say, but it was Team King, BK and friends who sat quietly in the wings, slowly chipping away at their lead.
And in a foot race to the line, it was King, BK, Bjorgvin, Carl, Gudmundsson and friends who edged out the boys by less than a second to take event one.
In the comments, Con Porter responds.
To all of those in disbelief, I have spoken to training plan and Yami.
Yami is the head coach over there at the training plan.
And Yami is offering a 50% discount on your off-season rowing program.
You too can row a 12-second 250-meter.
Just use the code YALLNEEDTORELAX at the checkout.
And yes, we spoke to the officials after the event to let them know
there's no way that was correct, and our score will no doubt be changed.
Wow, Team BPN in first place.
Daughters Feet, Mal O'Brien in second with 355.
First place got 360.
Anyways, leaderboard's updated.
Is that funny?
That's very funny.
I appreciate you sharing that.
That's good shit.
Khan's a great sport.
Great, great sport.
And if you want to learn more about Khan, listen to his podcast with...
What's that one?
Yeah, well, I did a great one with him too.
But if you want to hear about all his sexual exploits, you can listen to the one with Kate Gordon.
Kate Gordon talks to him for over an hour about fucking.
Wow, he just talks for an hour about...
Yeah, just sex. and feelings and emotions and other
stuff okay but i just hear okay uh like taylor said a team bpn those are the crypt font krypton
girls that is uh laura horvat gabby magawa and jamie simmons uh 360 jr any surprise that they
are in first place after day one
no i don't think so especially with with these workouts and what we know they're really really
good at and uh mr young any surprise no none that's the first time i've said mr young and uh
taylor didn't answer i wasn't sure if uh taylor didn't know his name. And the daughters, why aren't they in first place?
They got Annie Thor's daughter in third place and Mal O'Brien first place.
Is it just Katrin David's daughter just knocking the rust off?
No.
I just think Laura Horvath is every bit as fit.
You got to take the events into consideration.
But Laura Horvath is every bit as fit as You got to take the events into consideration. But Laura Horvath is every bit as fit as Mal O'Brien.
They're just different athletes.
But I would put them right neck and neck with each other.
And then Annie and Katrin versus Gabby and Jamie Simmons.
I'm probably going to – I mean, they're also pretty darn even.
And they're only five points apart. jr who do you got winning the
whole weekend team bpn jr oh he's hey hey hey don't rush him motherfucker i think it's gonna be
i actually think it's gonna end be – I actually think it's going to end up being daughters featuring mom.
I really want Team BPN to win.
I think it's going to be close the whole weekend though.
I think with that – I think basically just the rope climb workout with all the grip fatigue, anything can happen in a workout like that.
Anyone can blow up.
So I really think that like chaos could happen on that workout.
But is Katrin,
I feel like Katrin's the level of legless rope climb that Gabby is.
It's not legless.
It's not legless.
I know.
What I'm saying is that if there's going to be grip fatigue and a rope climb
blow up,
the first thing I think is.
We've all answered the question though. okay good uh then uh all american girls is brooke wells amanda barnhart and christy aramo o'connell do they have any chance is this just
gonna be a daughters and uh bpn show I'm really interested to see how the lift goes.
I'm really interested to see how the lift goes to with,
uh,
with the daughters team,
just to see like how they are comparatively.
Okay.
Uh,

what'd you just say i said i forgot we were friends how did uh how did how did your team do
buddy they got people on the show stream right now so he's got people up there uh yeah but uh
okay do you want to talk to him okay suza whoousa, who do you got? I don't recognize him.
Who's he got there? Who's he got?
Guys look like they just got out of fucking jail.
I'm sitting in a hotel room. He's on the floor.
I can't unmute you, Sousa.
They're saying shit.
Come on, Sousa.
I'm going to let you down this season, Brian.
Savan, this is Team Pledissey right here.
Team Pledissey.
Wow.
How do they smell? how do they smell how do they smell it's awfully satisfying it's disgusting uh they should release a a scent a spray yeah yeah yeah hey that guy on the left
there wait a second that's team big boys or something that's the guy who did the uh doggy
paddle the entire swim ask him if he did the doggy paddle the entire swim.
Ask him if he did the doggy paddle the entire swim, the guy on the left.
Wait, wait, wait.
The guy, get to the left more. Left more.
More? He's a giant. Yeah.
He said, did you do a doggy paddle the whole swim?
Me?
Yeah.
No, I mean, the first, I was part of the first group.
I was pretty gassed, so yeah, I was doing a little bit of that.
But then I kind of got into my stroke after that.
I side-stroked for a minute for sure, yeah.
Side-stroke.
No, no doggy paddling over here.
Hey, that guy did do the breaststroke the entire way.
Seriously, ask him.
Did you do the breaststroke the entire way?
I did a breaststroke.
I know that's the most famous stroke, so just for him.
I love it.
All right.
Oh, they're going to corral up.
Okay.
Oh, shit.
James Newberry is competing.
Yeah, he's on the team with Nick Matthews. God, that's impressive.
Hey, Roman. Hey, Roman.
Don't talk to me.
Don't talk to me.
You're American crumb.
You're fucking American Yankee.
Okay, where were we?
Hiller, hi.
How did your team do, buddy?
They are not doing so hot.
They've got a couple of double judges, which it's understandable.
What does that mean, double judges?
I think people recognize Alexis.
The second she's up there doing stuff in any of the workouts, there's two judges.
And she's a pretty dang good mover, so she hasn't been caught up in anything. but she's just like every single time I'm out there, there's two people watching me.
And I go, but you're moving well, right?
Yeah, she is.
Okay.
So she got like the, her judge and then like the Adrian Bosman of the place coming over to make sure she's not screwing up.
Right.
Yeah.
The, the, whomever the judge is plus the next one.
She's getting the VIP treatment.
And how are the girls getting along?
Everyone getting along okay?
Yeah, they're doing pretty good with one another.
My goal with them is just to do a handful.
As much, whatever avenue the workout can go down,
you're supposed to have a plan for it.
And the workouts, I've spoken to a handful of the team athletes.
There's a lot to them.
And I know you guys have talked about them pretty extensively, but there is a lot to them. There's
a lot of places that they can go wrong, which I guess makes them good team workouts.
Uh, they did the one, the, that synchro one. She's in, is she, is she in the elite division?
RX women team of three. And do they do all that synchro shit?
They do. So the workout that's going on right now,
which is the muscle ups and the squats,
they're going 30,
20,
10 and their division had to go 21,
15,
nine.
They'd changed that at the last minute.
Okay.
Hey,
I'm going back to John Young.
John,
in the first heat of the women,
none of the women finished,
right?
Yeah.
None of them finished.
And in the last heat, they all finished right yeah none of them finished i mean the last
heat they all finished yep okay what did it seem they were doing that led to them finishing is
quicker on the bar or quicker on the rings i'm just not as fatigued in the muscle ups i mean
there were girls doing like twos uh the synchro at the end of that first heat andrew do you think
you bit off uh too much uh going there as a content creator going
there as doing the gauntlet going there as a coach going there to help with the sebon podcast
well you say that last one is if i've done shit no no no not at all you've been uh you're
even just knowing you're there in spirit is uh a tremendous uh the way i always operate it's like
i got like a goal number one,
two and three.
And number one,
I think I told you even was to be there with Alexis and her team to make
sure that they had everything squared away.
And then in the meanwhile,
I've had this GoPro hooked up and I've just been clipping stuff together and
throwing it together at night.
And then I've spoken with Susan a couple of times.
I go,
when,
when are you going live?
He goes,
I don't know.
And I'm like,
well,
I got,
I'll look at the text message and then I'll put the phone away and I'll
look and I go, fuck, i missed the stream again hey i
haven't talked shit the only person i've talked shit behind their back the entire time was i
received a message from caleb saying that he had to sleep because he had been up for 24 hours and
i thought that in his emoji um is a bald guy and i thought it was taylor and i called suza and i'm
like this motherfucker already tapped and then i realized and then i realized it wasn't taylor and i called suza and i'm like this motherfucker already tapped and then i realized
and then i realized it wasn't taylor it was caleb wait a minute as far as i was reading
messages on here about taylor being on hormones and not me what was that all about
what i missed taylor's on estrogen somebody corrected me and i had a little emotional
moment where i told him to go fuck themselves well hey dude we've had we're just sitting up here just trying to stay awake so we got to like get a

There's a wall. Taylor pulls this up. We're,

Dan Bailey is not in the corral
He's under this table
Dick Butter
Thank you Just towers over everybody oh my
goodness quiet on the set quiet on set ariel hey hey look at you you got a balcony yeah it's
actually pretty beautiful out here look at that yeah what a spot you got i know um yeah it's very
nice hotel.
A little too nice.
We went and had dinner here the first night we got here.
And we had a little sticker shock when the check came.
Oh, second mortgage.
Second mortgage.
Yeah, literally.
But, you know, we're in Miami.
How are you doing?
How is the body doing? That machine the, uh, the body doing that,
that machine that you're putting so much pressure on?
Exactly. It feels great.
I feel like we didn't do that much today for it to be that fatigued.
All I did was some pistols and went for a little run.
And what about those pistol? You were the pistol queen. That's what you did.
Oh my gosh. Um, yeah, I actually want to go back and watch it.
Why is Josh Bridges in your room? Why is Josh Bridges in your room?
Why is Josh Bridges in your room?
You want to close those curtains before rumors spread?
What the fuck's going on there?
No, it's probably my husband.
Oh, okay.
Yeah, tell me about the pistols.
I mean, the funny thing was doing the pistols like felt fine.
But as soon as I went to take off, I start running and I can't run.
And I look to my left and the girl next to me just busts like straight up falls on her face.
And then I'm just like hobbling along for like the life to come back to my leg.
I need to go back and like screen record it because I'm sure I looked like a goofer.
Hey, everyone did you guys all when you were done with the pistols you looked like a giraffe that was
just born it was crazy wasn't it yeah spiegel texted me and she's like i'm sorry to laugh at
you but i laughed at you so hard because you looked so ridiculous hey um was that dangerous
at all like uh like too much strain on the knee to go straight from that to shuttle runs?
Or you're good with it?
You're a CrossFit athlete, so you're meant to do.
I think it was kind of silly to like force us to do it all on one leg.
But like nothing hurts, so I feel good.
And the team, your teammates, the environment, are you loving it?
Yeah, it's fun.
I still I think at heart I'll always be loving it? Yeah, it's fun. I still, I still, I think at
heart, I'll always be an individual athlete. Like team is fine, but I like all the pressure to just
go on my shoulders if I do good, if I do bad, but so far we're having fun. Remind me who's on your
team. It's Carrie. We've got Carrie Pierce, and then Alex Gazan. That's right.
Yeah, she was a rookie at the Gators this year.
Super strong, super strong.
And Gazan and Carrie know each other, and you're kind of new to their group, right?
They're the underdogs gals.
Yeah, new to the group.
For me, they train together almost every day.
They're underdogs.
They're being nice to you?
Oh, they're like the nicest people on the planet uh are you are you glad you came out there oh yeah i'm glad but i still have regrets not going
individual but keep that between you and me okay and is that because there was 75 000 up for grab
and you know you could have just fucking taken that and and uh and bought two dinners last night yeah we could have afforded dinner there for the whole crew
but i just think like the workouts looked good i feel like i could have podiumed
in my head i feel like i could have but i mean what's seventy five thousand fifty thousand
dollars yeah yeah i think you're selling yourself short ariel yeah you think
she could have won it huh john yeah yeah me too i know just lost seventy five thousand dollars no
big deal no big deal hey that's that's a house in her neighborhood that's two homes in jr's
neighborhood you live in texas right yeah i mean the housing market is a little ridiculous where
we live so that's like a good down payment.
Okay, good down payment.
Hey, tell me this.
Why didn't you go individual?
They asked me to go team first.
And I feel like it's kind of selfish to say yes to team and then to go individual and obviously not be fresh for my team.
I was thinking of them.
I hope 30 other athletes hear you say that hey uh next time next time uh that happens give me a call do you have an agent i do do you have
jared grayfield oh yes yes okay so uh if i was jared i would call carrie and alex a bit listen
listen ladies uh here's the deal.
Ariel Lowen,
you know, CrossFit Games athlete.
You remember her?
What'd you take, 10th in the games last year?
Too soon. I got 11th.
11th, okay. You know she took 11th in the games.
You remember that? 2022 CrossFit Games? Yeah, okay, ladies.
So listen. Listen, Alex and Carrie.
She's going to go there. She's going to win the 75 grand.
And she's going to peel you guys off each 1, a thousand bucks i just want you to shut the fuck up she's
gonna take 73 you're gonna take one each you guys enjoy yourself and uh it's a done deal i mean when
you look at the team payout though a thousand bucks is still better than like fifth place in
the team division man oh man i'm hoping the team prize goes up seeing as how many of the elite people
in the games did team this year i hope they continue to do it that way and then that way
they can get a higher team prize here's the other problem too that girl page powers one and that's
going to go to her head and now she's going to she's probably going to perform it twice her
ability at the games this year now you got another problem you've created a monster she's good dang that's okay i think she's in the east region so once we get to the
games we'll worry about that later uh this weekend we'll finish you'll go back home and it's just
is it just serious time just go time open quarterfinal semifinals and games i would say
it'll probably get serious after the open well for me
for my husband the open is like this is his first time to sign up for the crossfit open so he's
taking it very seriously so like we're gonna shift the seriousness to him and then after the open
goes i'll probably step it up a little bit for quarterfinals and then full send for semis is
that why i confused him with josh bridges is he looking a little bit tighter, a little bit fitter, a little bit meaner?
Yeah, he actually lost some weight.
Yeah, he looks good.
Look, I can see his shadow back there trying to eavesdrop on you and shit.
Yeah, he told me yesterday.
We were at the venue just walking around, and he said,
he was like, yeah, my mom caught another girl checking out my butt.
What do you think about that?
He doesn't need any more compliments, Yvonne.
Okay, no, don't tell him I thought he looked like Donald Duck, not Josh Bridges.
Yeah, exactly.
It'll get too much to his head.
He won't be able to handle it.
In the years past, you haven't put very much pressure on you, right?
I mean, that was sort of the game plan. Like, hey, I i'm just doing this for fun uh right is that still the game plan this year
it's the game plan but like now i have the expectation of personally i want to go back
to the games so the expectation is to train to get back there because it's fun and i'm loving
my new life of like a crossfit athlete and i don't want that
to end yet so still fun but a different type of fun um what about all this star power that's in
the women's uh team competition are you tripping on that at all or you've been to the games whatever
the announcers are tripping on it oh between me and you they'll announce certain names
and it's like they bow down
to those names and then they'll be like
okay lane 8 humble killers
lane 9 team fleo
but lane 10
these people these people these people
and lane 12 so they definitely
are hyping it up who they want to hype up
yeah gotcha
alright I'm so happy you gave us who they want to hype up. Yeah, gotcha. All right.
I'm so happy you gave us a few minutes of your time.
It was nice seeing your husband.
I'm happy to see you're in a dope hotel room.
Yeah.
And we shall talk soon.
I really appreciate you coming on.
When people like you do this, it's what makes the show.
The people love it.
Oh, thanks for having me.
We'll see you guys tomorrow, hopefully on the podium, right?
Yes.
Yes.
Hearing you on.
Okay.
Bye, guys.
Bye.
Ariel Loewen.
Hey, you think she could have beat Paige Powers for real?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
This is the other thing is the prize pot this year for all divisions is lower.
I think Noble gave them more money last year it was like 100k for first place
last year that's a $25,000 cut
uh
oh
Pat Vellner took home 100 grand
last year
wow that's right
and I think Phil Toon took home
like fucking 20 grand for 6th place dude
he didn't give that money back
Phil baby where are you Phil
okay
we just missed the corral shot
from Sousa and now
the
this is the final heat for the men's division
yeah correct
okay
this is going to be something to watch
i am going to uh will said it's a bigger pot overall they took money from the individual
division and put it into the team division will plumber good to see you buddy thank you
how are you doing amazing so good hey i'm curious
that does nothing that does nothing for me by the way it's a bigger pot overall
are y'all more in favor of the top three getting more money or more money being dispersed down to
like the top 10 top three me personally yeah so i go fuck himself. I think disperse the money.
The top three.
Spoken like a true tier B athlete.
Taylor?
What was the question?
Are you more in favor of the top three having more money
or more money being dispersed down to like the top 10?
On the team side or on the individual side?
Either, both. both individual i don't
really care that the pot's bigger i i think it's better if it's filtered all the way oh
you see i'm saying like if individual is a hundred grand but i don't understand anything
i think i'm in seven's boat where i don't understand why if there is that much money
on the individual side more people didn't go or why they didn't put the money where the athletes work because the athletes are clearly in the team division that's oh my god they announced
the prize pot before they get announced who's before they ask who wants to come oh my god i'm
so sad why does joe rogan get all the money and my podcast doesn't get any i wish it would filter down okay guys watch this this is
samwell corn why a doing the uh squat with the 150 pound med ball d ball and uh he looks over at
daddy rich and says uh mr uh dad uh oh god that arm looks tight. Doesn't it? Dad, something's wrong.
Yeah.
Fuck.
I hope he's okay.
Yeah. That's going to piss him off because I don't think they're fond of
waterpalooza as is scroll back a little.
I want to see that hat or not.
Okay.
I can, I can, I can.
All right.
Uh, the top heats live guys.
Okay.
We'll come back to them.
We'll come back to them.
Thank you for keeping the show on a pace. Uh, Mr. Young, guys. Okay. We'll come back to him. We'll come back to him. Thank you for keeping the show on pace, Mr. Young.
Here we go.
Okay, the eye contact with Mr. Froning.
He's just flashing.
Dude, look at his arm, how tight it is.
Sorry.
Go ahead, John.
Sorry.
I was just making a joke.
Oh, my God.
And look at who is that to the left of him.
He's like pointing.
He's like, that shit ain't good. Tyler Christopher yeah tyler's like fuck dude that is not good no that's not at
all i don't know to me i thought it was a cramp in the moment me too so maybe he just could be both
yeah he might have had a gnarly fucking cramp well they said it either a strain or a minor tear
hepner already went to chicken wing bar muscle-ups.
No, that's how he muscles up.
I just hate it.
I hate it.
That's so old school.
Where are you watching?
Oh, right there.
No, we're on the broadcast.
We have the streams off to the side on a window too.
Roger.
Hey, what is that? Does that reduce your longevity
In the sport by doing chicken wing
I always hear that's harder on your shoulder
Hector was out pretty early
He was 30
He had years left in the tank
I mean he's still doing it
Will Plummercam left in the tank i mean he's still doing it uh will plumber cam
james newberry there
oh canadians and the boys starting their set on the barbell at the same time
hey how can you complain about their stream it is fucking beautiful
well we did a lot of
complaining on day one and two i don't think so well i'm making up for it now it's fucking
beautiful they got a split screen they got here i'm gonna put i'm gonna paste it in our in our
chat no one no one complain no one say shit i'm pasting it right here in the chat wow the canadians
are moving so well but so are uh boys. The boys are moving quick.
Travis Mayer, Chandler Smith on the barbell.
Chandler snatches is questionable, though.
It's cockeyed.
It's a different strategy, though.
The boys are just sitting with one pair.
It's not the prettiest of movement, but we've seen before.
He's a strong motherfucker, and it doesn't really matter how badly he moves. He's just so fucking
strong.
That's why he won't come on the show because
of swear words like that, by the way.
No, it's not. Yeah, it is.
I don't blame him either. We DM
all the time. He won't come on because of swear words.
He said that? Yeah.
I mean, he said something like that. It says
his mom doesn't like, wouldn't want him on a show
with so much swearing. I understand he said that he said that on the show at wadapalooza last year
when we were like interviewing him like his mom or his grandma wouldn't like it and i'm not hating
either i'm not i'm not mad at that i think he was being facetious no he doesn't know how to be
facetious the canadians are cycling a little bit faster than the boys now
if you watch they sub out every three to five and the boys just stay on it they're they have way
bigger sets that they're doing yeah i think they're going out with not quite the winning
strategy cotton hey i i appreciate the canadians all wearing least. I mean, Fikowski's wearing some sort of Reebok shirt, but I appreciate it.
Are they representing what's-his-face?
Just wear the same color.
At least do that for us.
Trudeau?
Are they representing for the governor?
Prime Minister Trudeau?
Prime Minister Trudeau?
You know what I think when I think Canadians?
I think of the South Park Canadians.
Terrence and philip
oh i like this taylor i've never seen south park what you're not missing out
have you seen family guy fuck family i i know what family guy is i don't i don't watch i don't watch a lot
of tv go drink a fifth of sky vodka and binge watch season three of south park and you'll have
a good night i don't drink either where the hell did that come from deep deep in the deep in the
memory bank that's a that's a personal experience that personal experience. Someone told me they got really high one night
and watched my videos for four hours.
That is a beautiful compliment.
I believe it.
It was pretty funny to hear.
Wow, that's cool.
Yeah, Fikowski and Vellner look good, man.
They look great.
I wonder what the strategy is going to be here with Tola.
Just don't lose i thought he was going to lift con up so he could jump up and get to the bar or delugos i'd like to see out a little bit to see if delugos's feet are scraping the ground
i thought delugos says james newberry no it's not that's delugos. That's James Newberry. No, it's not. That's Delugos, buddy.
Or Khan.
No, Khan is in front of James Newberry.
I thought James Newberry was on a different team.
Well, that's BKG and Khan then.
That guy – or Delugos. Oh, BKG.
It's BKG.
Yeah.
Okay.
Newberry got kicked off the Aussie team?
Yeah, man.
No.
Yeah, he did.
No, this is Team Jami.
No, it's BKG and friends. friends yes but i'm just saying it's team
jami like they're all training plan they did the team last year and bkg is one of jami's athletes
jami delugos is on ricky's team oh okay okay so that was gone
all right my badushing away a little there.
Taylor, you would have been so proud.
Savon was trying to no-rep Jamie Simmons on her ring muscle-ups.
And?
How'd it go?
I didn't think they were bad reps.
Yeah, he fucked the pooch.
They were good reps.
But he was trying.
You would have been proud of me.
Did you see Spiegel's muscle ups
and they're terrible i watched them oh yeah along with go ahead take on him i i just needed a minute
to get in front of a computer for a while but i got some stuff that i'm putting together on that
you got some footage uh i mean it's probably the same thing everyone's seen. It's the Instagram post, right? Yeah. You know, I just...
I think his swatch is wonky.
Who?
Tola.
He, like, sidesteps every time.
Throws his head into the ground.
Yeah, he probably should change how he snatches.
You're right.
I know.
It's way too easy.
I'm just...
Hey, why is his head doing that?
Why does he do that thing like a pigeon?
Oh, shit.
That's the first one we've seen.
Oh!
Con missed his snatch, and BK Cheese just stuck there under tension. Wow. Yeah, shit. That's the first one we've seen. Khan missed his snatch and BK Cheese
just stuck there under tension. Wow.
Yeah, Khan's struggling. Yeah, but he's such a good rower.
It doesn't matter. Wow, Khan needs
some facial hair if he's going to land those.
He's catching it easy at the top,
but he's moving
slow. He just rushed it.
Taylor, anytime I post something and if anything looks a little borderline,
somebody freaking DMs me a bat and I'm like, you know what?
He could text me if he really feels like these are bad reps.
I think I messaged you on one or two.
That's why I only post videos of me doing machine work and burpee pull-ups.
I thought there was something fishy about that i can't do shit else right now uh will plumber can you unmute yourself for a second
oh shit wow mute mute never mind never mind will uh get the fuck out of here heidi hi hi uh heidi uh how's the
crowd is it are they loud are they cheering is there what's the vibe like uh they're crazy
oh they are crazy good yeah not making much noise right now oh they're not making much noise
everyone's just chilling and frozen? Yeah.
Okay.
Yeah, because it looks like in the shot I see on the stream that they're like at a Philharmonic.
Like they're not at a CrossFit event.
Yeah, it is like that.
Okay.
You want to see the crowd?
Sure, yeah.
Let's see them.
They're sitting here freezing. Cold. Oh, yeah. Shit, they are cold. Yeah. Let's see him. Oh yeah. Shit. They are cold.
Wow. Okay. Well you're, you have a beautiful camera angle.
Thank you very much.
Heidi Kroom freezing in the stands.
I bet you got there like three hours ago to get that spot. I couldn't get in.
For Hiller to come on tomorrow. Great boys uh five dollars anthony tpa thank you what's tpa stand for what does smtp stand for smtp hey so team goa has three muscle-ups left
and then they're done they're they're in first place right now they're ahead of the canadians and then bk and friends are in third place so willie willie george's and jay crouch
wow they just finished they just finished they're on their lifts they're they're gonna win because
they're ahead what's the best time in the first two heats john not as fast as this i don't know though 11 minutes okay 12 john young john young bringing us back to uh why
we're here i wish they had a rep counter i don't know why they don't have one for the last heat the
most important one so that's willie georges you guys are seen in the gray shirt gray noble shirt
with the uh arm sleeve uh he's from the united kingdom i believe right or france france yep
frank luke parker's
little brother behind him and uh jay crouch from australia otherwise known as luke parker's little
brother and then roman the no flag krennikoff oh for casio the finger did he right up did he
which finger not yeah not the middle finger not the middle finger. Not the middle finger.
He gave him one of these nice, genuine Canadian fingers.
He was like, hold one minute.
That's how objective Hiller is.
He needs to know what finger.
He's important.
And they're done.
Oh my gosh, they crushed it.
Hold on.
10-52.
Cool.
I think 12-13 is the time to beat okay hey that's gonna uh that's gonna change some
things up here and the canadians are finishing up and then bk and friends are after them
oh what's the name of that team the the go wad team yeah roman team team go wad
what happened to the boys hey Hey, they were in fifth.
That's going to change things for them.
Who was in fifth?
Team Gowad?
Yeah.
I know the boys.
Team Gowad was in fifth.
Oh, you're talking about leaderboard.
Yeah.
Boys are in, I believe.
Aaron Scheibel.
Aaron Scheibel. Aaron Scheibel.
For the young self and Hiller team of three next year.
Wow.
I wonder if they let me.
I wonder if they give me a male barbell.
Hey, Hiller, they told you.
They told you that if you went on.
Oh, sorry.
Go ahead, John.
John, go ahead.
I'm going to say stupid shit.
You guys go ahead.
Tell people.
Ricky Garrard.
And then the boys just came in.
They came in.
They are fifth.
Jeez.
Louise.
And then team Panchik is about to be done.
They are the next team.
What about Sprague and all those guys?
They're finished.
They're still working.
Are they still working or they haven't showed them?
Wow, they're getting smacked.
Yeah, they are.
Yeah.
I mean, this wasn't going to be their best event
anyway sam dancer is breathing hard right there james newberry's team is coming in
with nick matthew and hillary do you know the other athlete
which one where nick man it's not nick matthew or james newberry i don't know
that's a great question i'm looking right at him i don't know. That's a great question. I'm looking right at him. I don't recognize him.
Give me a minute. I'll figure it out.
Maybe it's Don Fall.
Looks like he could be a young Don Fall.
That's Team Badussi right there.
That is Will kearney how did you figure that out it's my sources man it's listed i beat alex to it all right i'm glad
i said it before it popped up alex person will kearney or else you i did. I figured that out just in time.
Takes a lot of energy to use Sam Dancer's giant muscles.
Man, I did not pick Roman's team to come first in this event.
Willie George is great at muscle-ups.
So is Jay Crouch.
Oh, look.
They got to figure it out.
Christian, get the fuck out of the way bro that was pretty funny where are the smith the smith bros look at that is that will carter he's fucking jack oh my god
sprague's and and dallin have shit the bed oh what is going on here down looks mad
yeah he's pissed yeah it's because hopper's too lean man
he's got to put some body fat on not enough podcasting in his life right
i want to say they took last place in that heat last oh my goodness does that make you happy
it hurts no it breaks my heart i want down Dallin and James to fucking crush it.
I want them to crush it.
How are there so many people on the floor now?
What the fuck is that?
I feel like Roman looks leaner from Rogue.
They just stormed the floor.
They stormed the floor after every event, man.
Hey, dude, Roman must have lost fucking 10 pounds in the last two days, right?
He looks leaner than he did at Rogue.
I don't know how much leaner, but he looks a little looks leaner than he did at row i don't know what he how much leaner but he looks a little bit leaner i want to ask tola what's up with his head why it does that pecking motion
some people have to stabilize like that as they're coming up on it since they're trapped
some some people so you've seen that before yeah i know it's really delayed
but he is one of the strongest motherfuckers out there,
so maybe it's something we should all be doing.
Right, right, right.
Hey, if you don't peck like a fucking pigeon,
you're not going to lift like Tola.
I'm going to start pecking.
Yeah.
I'm going to start pecking.
Jay Crouch has a peck too, I'm'm noticing but his isn't delayed it's like his
comes through as he snaps tolls is like delayed it's like i don't even know what i do let me
let me look do i pack you got a pecker okay we have nikki uh braziers uh interviewing the uh
winners uh here we go.
And that's it. All the boys stole banter backstage
saying, how are you guys going to do this? It's absolute chaos.
But yeah, we put a good plan
in the works before we started.
We knew what we were doing
and yeah, we executed that.
They executed that?
Yeah. Got the job done.
You did and I was going to ask
sort of outside so uh
this is the team that won uh willie georges uh roman krennikoff and from australia a frequent
flyer on the show jay crouch he was just on a couple days ago uh doing the interview uh mr
will plumber hi how we doing guys good how are we doing guys? Good. How are you?
I'm tired.
You are.
Hey,
are you,
did you take fifth overall?
So I was sitting in fifth and now I'm sitting in seventh.
Okay.
Okay.
Yeah.
Hey,
congratulations.
That's bad-ass.
Yeah.
Will is stacked.
He's a big guy.
What did you, what did you take last year?
Last year, I took 17th.
Okay.
Hey, how many workouts you got tomorrow?
Two.
We have the start fast, finish strong, and then the long chipper.
Do you feel good about them?
I do.
I feel really good about them.
I'm excited for that run.
Hey, when you go out there and you see those boys competing just now,
does that inspire you?
Or is it just like, oh, I don't know if I ever want to go do that?
No, it jacks you up.
It was fun watching the individuals last night.
Like Taylor said, they're very busy events.
A lot of the team competition, it's hard to follow for me
i like simple things yeah when you're out there is it confusing too like you're like oh what's next
yeah i messed up today and i didn't touch my placard first thing so i had to go back and do
that but uh yeah that cost you a few seconds. Yeah. But that wasn't what I was going to determine the event.
It was a short bar.
Overhead squats are not easy.
Gotcha.
Uh, all right.
Uh, anything else you want to report on that you saw in the stadium today?
It seemed kind of quiet and cold.
Quiet and cold.
50 degrees is really cold here in Florida.
Apparently.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That's it.
Okay. Well, thank you very much brother always
good to have you on the show yep see you guys see you later brother see you uh duane what's up
99 99 holy shit thank you that's crazy money you're a good dude uh you are a good dude i am going to send uh guido a link so what happened we had jr for a
second and then uh we lost him to kids appears so okay let's see uh thank you duane i really
appreciate it it's a it's a very generous donation and it's a it's a it's a needle mover for sure. Sousa. Sousa Cam.
Where you at, Sousa?
I'm just standing here while the athletes are
coming back to the warm-up area.
Just getting a last shot of them walking in for you guys.
We have a really fun
group.
Good day?
Great day.
Yeah, team. Great job, guys.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Great day. It's funny uh wilson it's like 50 degrees that's cold i mean it is true like it's the temperature wise it wouldn't seem like it'd
be that cold but when the breeze kicks through it is it gets chilly that's for sure
okay let's um while we wait for Guido to come on,
let's go over and check out.
How's it going, brother?
Yeah, did you have a good time with it?
That's what we communicated, so we had to do it.
Just execute.
It all came together.
Is the language barrier having an issue for you guys at all?
Not yet.
Like, I think if it's going to be a problem,
it probably would have come out then.
They're just staying really planned before we go out
and we're doing what we said.
So that's not a problem really.
But, yeah, Ryan's funny, man.
He's definitely pushing me on that one.
I think it's, like, the last set of 10 month blocks.
We, like, just decided from the start we're going to do fives.
And he's back up in the rings.
Oh, we lost the audio.
Shit, we lost his audio.
We lost it at five.
I could hear him when he was behind me on the cleans.
He's like, Gorgia, Gorgia.
I'm like, dang, I ain't upsetting this guy.
What were you guys doing after this?
What were you at?
Yeah, just back now.
I got to grab some dinner.
And then I guess we'll get to work out tomorrow.
Does Willie Georges speak English?
I'll do it over again. That's awesome.
Come on, they can hear you if you got anything.
Hey, dude, what's up? Congrats, Jay.
That was awesome watching you, dude. You're a beast.
Thanks, man.
What about Willie Georges? Does that dude speak English?
Yeah, yeah. His English is pretty good.
Did you guys think you would win this?
No, we didn't really have any expectations,
but we just come up with a plan before.
We were pretty thorough with our plan going into it
because we knew it was going to be chaos.
And yeah, the communication hasn't been an issue.
Hey, a lot of people want Roman to win the games,
and a lot of people think he can win the games.
When you and Willie Georges are on that team, do you feel that from him?
Do you feel like you're with the champion and you're like,
okay, does he bring his A game and elevate all of you?
Yeah, definitely.
You can tell.
And I really noticed it in that workout then
for sure um yeah you can tell he's uh he's got a lot more to give when he's out there that's for
sure uh what about grip in that workout we haven't talked much about grip but we yesterday we saw
some grips going was was that uh intensive on the grip uh nah not at all that one was all legs and
back uh the hardest part was definitely just on the barbell.
The muscle-ups was nice.
And did it go according to plan?
Did you have a plan, like sets of five, rotate, sets of five, rotate?
Yeah, yeah. On the 30, we did sixes on both the gymnastics and the lifting.
Then we went to fives, and then fives again on the set of 10.
That was our plan, and we really dialed in the rotation
of what we're going to have.
So we went ring goes to bar,
bar goes to rest,
and then rest would go to clean,
to snatch, to rest.
So we had that really dialed in
and it was perfect.
Why do you think you won?
The turnover faster on the bar and the rings
or the transitions
or that the plan that you started with six
and other people started with five? Like, why do you think you guys won yeah i think it was definitely you
know holding back on that 30 just with sets of sixes and then um we really made our move on that
uh the set of 20s with fives awesome dude you the man hey your smile is contagious it's great
seeing you dude you're a savage i can't wait to see you on that podium. Thanks, brother. We're having fun out here.
Okay, dude. Thank you.
See you, guys.
Thanks, brother.
Jay Crouch, one of the best guys in the world to do it.
Also doing it with Roman Krennikoff this weekend at the Wadapalooza 2023 Team Series.
We're so lucky to have this access.
Thank you to Dylan. Thank you to Wadapalooza.
This is kind of some unprecedented shit, especially since this the probably the greatest team competition ever in this sport um and i can't say that enough uh taylor anything uh surprising that you heard from him
no i mean i i was thinking for the guys and really the even the women too i thought it was more of a
barbell workout rather than a gymnastic workout just a heavy weight to be moving for a lot of reps but um no not too surprised yeah he he basically said
that the the muscle-ups were the break right i mean he was he's also very very very good at
muscle-ups like on the on a league of his own not in a league of his own but he's definitely
in the upper tier at top tier at the games field at muscle-ups. And what does that mean?
When you say that, what do you mean?
Like he's the guy who can do 20 unbroken?
He can definitely do 20 unbroken.
I don't know if he's Hiller.
I don't know if he's 30 unbroken yet.
35.
35?
Get it right.
Yeah, Taylor.
That's crazy, dude.
Yeah, I don't know if he can do 35, but he's very good, top of the field.
Hey, the only thing is Hiller does 35 muscle-ups and and needs to take two weeks off i think he can probably do 30 20 is not
too difficult unbroken seven like i could do 20 i could do 20 unbroken and i'm now nowhere near
them so all right if you say so 20 sounds insane to me. Okay, Josh.
Oh, who do we have here?
Who is this, Sousa?
No idea.
We probably don't want to hear what he has to say.
What's up, Malachi?
I said Malachi.
Malachi.
Malachi.
And you and everyone gave him shit about it because you missed his name.
He made me sound like Doc.
What did he say?
Oh, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
That's what he called us.
Yeah.
That's funny.
Tell him I'm offended because he already interviewed me at Regionals.
Who is that?
He said that was what he called
a mullet guy who had a dog name.
And they were saying, you've got to get the pronunciation right.
Josh Holton, thanks for the coverage, boys.
Love Taylor's one-liners all weekend
wow josh i have the most classic one-liners they're like fuck you and you're a bitch
wow josh and i want to tell you something uh taylor has a very strong mind and he's going to
push out the 30 negative comments and he's just going to let that one in it's like he's like a
guy who sifts for gold and that one just got through and uh let me read
it one more time josh holton 499 thanks for the coverage boys love taylor's one-liners all weekend
it must be difficult working with stooges like john and seven we got a different comment to pull
up and i kind of agree uh uh john just say he can do 20 uh unbroken ring muscle ups like you gotta go do it tomorrow
you gotta do it tomorrow we got this stream so i don't know if i can do it tomorrow
i'll post a video uh on the heidi uh cam we have uh some beautiful uh fireworks i'll go do a max
set tomorrow if you do.
That's where it's at, though.
It's not more than that.
Jeremy Eat World.
Not the 4th of July, but not the 4th of July.
John just
say, did John just say...
All the money that Wadah Blues have made this year went
to the fireworks.
That's why there's only one grand prize
and no other
portion, right?
What are you guys doing right now?
It's chaos.
It is chaos.
Guido,
stand by one second.
Oh, look at that.
That almost looks like
Travis Mayer who took too much Crete,
and he looks a little puffy in the face.
Hit in the flesh with the fireworks show.
We got Matt Cluto.
Oh, I'm so sorry.
I had to mute you, Travis Mayer.
God, I hope I don't burn in hell for that.
Oh, that's crazy, Guido.
Look at the fireworks in your back.
Look at that.
Look at that.
Look behind you.
Yeah.
You timed that perfectly.
You framed that perfectly.
That's rad.
Hey, you know, we had Ariel Lowen on just a few minutes ago,
and she was kicking herself for not doing the individual comp
and trying to get that 75K.
Weren't we talking about that yesterday?
You were talking to me about that.
Yeah.
Didn't we,
didn't we talk about that yesterday about basically why weren't some big
name athletes see that 75 K available and just go get it.
I don't recall that conversation,
but yeah,
I would,
I would wonder why.
I mean,
if they got it rolling that deep,
then Hey, that's fine. But otherwise come, come earn some money would, I would wonder why. I mean, if they got it rolling that deep,
then Hey, that's fine. But otherwise come, come earn some money and have some fun.
Yeah, it is a, it is a great prize money. I mean, no doubt. Don't get me wrong. I'm so happy that page powers won it. But part of me is crazy surprised that someone didn't just enter last
minute. Has that always been kind of the thing about Wadapalooza? There's some excitement around the fact that you guys let people enter last minute.
Like Katrin, David's daughter, came in 2018, entered a day before, and then won all the prize money.
Yeah, I mean, there hasn't been too many people that have done that, I think.
But I think it is a cool element, right, being that it's an off-season event.
It doesn't qualify you for anything else.
And it gives these athletes the flexibility to kind of hop in and out depending on how they feel maybe even look at the lineup and be like oh let me go in because i can earn a little extra
cash yeah at the end of the day only the fans benefit you know if like scott has to leave and
at the last minute we get tutor magda it's only the fans who benefit. Yeah, 100%. Yeah, I mean, I don't see no harm there.
I think even just the other competitors, they want that.
Even if it's somebody that they know might be a little higher level than them
or has ranked higher in the games, it forces them to level up as well.
I was really, really tripping on the synchro event yesterday we saw
it play out today beautifully i should have never doubted you uh it looked it looked awesome it was
cool to see roman and jay uh and uh willie george just crushed that were you happy with the way that
looked i was yeah man i thought it was really cool. I think having them face the same direction was something that I was questioning,
but I think that worked out as well, and it was more of a safety concern than anything else.
I think all in all, like I said, they're two squatting movements.
One might take a tad bit longer than the other.
I think it was just cool to see that something that's similar but different can be synchronized as well.
And what's the thinking about having them face the same direction for safety as opposed to facing each other?
Yeah, I mean, if someone were to fail a snatch rep, that typically they would fail moving forward.
And so if you're facing somebody, now you're failing in someone's direction as opposed to in the opposite direction.
Right, and then they panic and drop the bar.
And now we have two bars coming into each other.
Yeah. Yeah.
Okay.
The event will have the grand finale tomorrow.
Have you been happy with the weather so far?
And is tomorrow looking good?
Man, I'm cold as heck.
Yeah. what happened?
What happened?
Just normal Miami weather, up and down, up and down.
Yeah, God plays tricks on us over here.
It constantly varied with the weather.
Yeah, no, it's all good.
I mean, it's beautiful when you get in the sun.
You know, the minute that sun goes down, it gets chilly.
It feels like a little Cali weather out here, but it's all good.
I mean, it just makes the event a little more fun in my opinion because um you know it's something unexpected probably
good for the vendors that are selling sweaters um and yeah it's fun it's a good time uh how is
attendance it looks jam-packed uh susan told me the lines are absolutely insane and all the shots
we've seen in the stadium are just crazy packed.
Yeah, man.
It's so much fun.
It's nuts.
It's really, I mean, every year that I've been here, I have said, wow, it just keeps getting bigger and bigger and bigger.
And most of the time I say that not just based off of the stands being filled up, but the traffic.
You're almost like rubbing shoulders with people everywhere and anywhere you go.
But what I noticed this year was like there were lines in in every stage and even the bat
like the just the bathroom lines were insane so i mean it's it's it's a sign of health i think in
my opinion and also a sign that like hey we gotta continue to find ways to um to create space for
these guys to fit hey what about what would you have any advice or do you have any thoughts on why
like sanctionals last year,
the two they had in Tennessee,
the state,
the,
the stadium was empty both,
both weekends in a row.
There were no fans there.
And yet you guys,
you guys don't have enough seats for everyone.
Why is that?
Yeah.
So my take on that is,
there's a few things.
Hey,
as much as I, I'm, I'm a big believer in location. Right. I mean, it's marketing one on one location, location, location. Right. And those locations are just not sexy and they don't have to be. But if you're wondering why, well, I would guarantee that that's one of the equations number two is you know there really wasn't like a lot of star power in
in one location they're kind of spread out and dispersed and then so if you're not going to have
star power then what's the other thing you get banked on is local heroes right like your fittest
athlete in the gym but then they weren't even locals because it wasn't even a regional right
so you you're kind of like you don't have a great location you don't have like a lot of star
power in one location and then you don't even have all the local heroes and when you say local heroes
that's really that's also falls under like community support oh yeah no that's exactly what
i mean i mean yeah regionals was a thing because if you qualified for regionals even if you weren't
going to go to the games you had your whole gym backing you up because most of those guys were coaches and you had 20 30 people there supporting you and it was
a a drive or a flight that wasn't crazy it's probably a four-hour drive like the furthest
we ever had to go we were in miami was atlanta but it was west palm beach jacksonville you know
and so it's reasonable for somebody to want to travel for that but i think there's a few factors there that that we're missing and that's what i at least attribute the reason why it was
low yeah and i wonder what's going to happen this year with the games because they have one of their
locations is pasadena california and uh that that's a tough spot man that's a that's that's
going to be it's going to be interesting uh it's it's not san San Diego or it's not Miami, that's for sure.
Yeah, again, I really – and look, I mean, I think Birmingham sounds cool year one.
I'm not sure year two, three, and however long they're going to be there for,
especially if you want a repeat customer, right?
Right.
Madison's working, though.
Yeah, but I think Madison's, in my opinion, a little cooler than, I don't know.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I agree.
No offense, guys.
Sorry.
No, no, no.
We're just brainstorming.
Jacqueline Mims, $10.
Thank you very much.
Tomorrow, final day is party.
Are you ever sad when it's over?
Just a little bittersweetness to it.
I mean, yeah, for sure like i know there's a lot of
faces that i'm not going to see again and you're on this you're on a high like you're on an emotional
high spiritual high and and then it comes to an end so it's like anything else right you have a
great birthday celebration and the next day you're like damn it's not my birthday anymore it sucks
uh yeah yeah so yeah it feels like that but then at the end of the day you look back and you're
like man i created some pretty cool memories memories with people and it's something that
I'm going to hold on to. So, yeah, it's bittersweet. Andrew Hiller, have you ever met Guido Trinidad?
I haven't. Not in person. Andrew Hiller, Guido Trinidad. Do you have any questions for Guido?
Well, let me put on the spot right here. You can say no. It's fine. We'll have him again tomorrow.
I don't have any questions.
Okay. Mr. Self, when you're done looking at you porn,
do you have any questions for Mr. Guido Trinidad?
I'm good, man. It's good to hear from you.
John Young.
Likewise.
Where would you put the CrossFit Games?
Oh, great question.
Where would I put the CrossFit Games?
Yeah, because you said Miami's location. That's a great question. Yeah, I put the CrossFit Games? Yeah, because you said Miami's location.
That's a great question.
Yeah, I think there's a lot of places.
If you put it overseas, would that be a good idea or no?
I don't think just yet.
I think that definitely there's an opportunity there eventually.
Where in the States?
I would start off with Europe if that was the case
and some of the bigger cities like Paris or Madrid and Barcelona
and London, UK.
But I think locally here, I mean, you've got tons of places.
I think you've got to go where there's obviously a lot of CrossFit community that is densely populated, so to speak.
I wouldn't do Miami only because of how hot it is down here and unpredictable weather with the rain.
But I would say Texas might be a good place.
You know?
Even New York.
You know?
Even upstate New York.
Something like that.
But anyhow, I have questions for you guys.
You guys ask me all the questions.
What are you thinking?
I'm not able to watch what you guys are doing because I questions what what are you thinking what what is your i'm not able to
watch what you guys are doing because i'm here just you know doing other things but
what's your guys take on the event what do you like what do you not like
i'll say this this is completely self-serving but the the best thing
from just my perspective is the fact of how accommodating they've been to fucking us
uh the fact that that the wadapalooza event is not threatened by us.
They've given us full access.
They're letting us just run wild.
They know that we're only bringing traffic to the event,
that we only are trying to lift up the athletes.
We're keeping it real.
We're just trying to point attention at it.
We're not trying to be a parasite.
We're trying to add value. And, uh, and, and I just appreciate that you and, uh, Dylan and, um, God, why do I keep
forgetting her name? What's her name? Uh, Susie Sheena, Shana, Sasha, Sasha. Sorry. Yeah. Everyone's
just been crazy accommodating. Even Matt O'Keefe last year, it's kind of unprecedented the access.
And I think that, you know, I think in i think in in following suit you know after you guys did it last year i think then
rogue let us do it this year and i'm just i just uh i just appreciate that just the openness and
understanding that if you let in outside media um that uh we can add value and and you guys have
done that and so we get to we get to participate participate, you know, that's cool, man. And I just love that.
Well, thank you for saying that. I think, you know, two things, a,
I really believe that rising tides lift all boats. And,
and I would say that that, you know,
decisions like that really stem from a place of,
of just gratitude and humility, right? Like I, I'm,
I'm personally, and I know Dylan is,
like, we're just honored that you would even want to cover it.
You know, like, if you have that mentality,
like, I have the same mentality when people come and drop into my gym.
It's like, you're traveling to this city,
and you decided to spend time at my gym to let us coach you?
Like, man, yeah, what do you want?
Like, let's hang out, take a picture, whatever you want.
And so I see the same.
Like, you guys could be doing anything with your night and you chose to want to cover this this
event and and uh devote some time to it i'm honored man so thank you yeah yeah our awesome
we just we're glad that we uh could be included were you gonna say something suza yeah i was when
you had asked if anybody had questions i actually have one it seems like some of these events like
missed the mark a little bit we've heard people not have been able to pay out their people who won and stuff like that. Do you have any advice
or just something quick? Like, do they start out too big too soon? Is there a way that some of
those other events could improve and become, you know, profitable or at least pay the athletes
that one? Great question. Advice for people starting events. I'm sorry. When you started
talking about events, I understood like the workouts.
But you're talking about actual events that are not panning out.
They start off –
Dollar competition.
Yeah, look.
I mean I'm not a business guru by any means.
But I think sometimes you just got to use simple math.
It's like you're going to promise to pay somebody out there.
You got to make sure you have that money, you know, set aside.
I think that's, you know, I'm sure those guys are, you know, high character guys.
I don't doubt them.
I don't know them that well.
But like that can't happen.
Go take a loan out or something like that and pay up.
So and then I think, yeah, I think I shared this with, with somebody recently.
I said, you know, a lot of times when I have conversations with other guys that run events,
they'll say, Hey, I run this event.
And they immediately go like, it's not waterpalooza or that big or anything like that.
And they dismiss what they're doing because it's not big.
And it's like, and it's almost like people are aspiring always to be big and it's like
they don't have to and maybe some people like like they just don't need to maybe you need to learn
a lot first like we weren't big right away you know we just tried to really make it inclusive
and create divisions and more people wanted to sign up so you know organically it grew i would
say the same is true for crossfit like g Greg Glassman didn't have the intention of taking over the world.
And maybe some people are, you know, biting off a little more than they can chew.
It's just like, hey, just like, you know, be true to yourself.
Create something that's really unique, that's special.
Kill it.
Like, do an excellent job, then grow.
Do an excellent job, then grow.
Instead of, like, really trying to, trying to like you know win over the world
and be the next you know water palooza or crossfit games or anything like that um so i think that's
that's my that's my thoughts on that is uh yeah just take it easy enjoy enjoy being great at you
know something that could be small and be okay with that. Guido. Thank you very much,
buddy for coming on every night.
You you're the cherry on top of an amazing shake.
Thank you,
brother.
I appreciate you guys.
Thank you.
Have a good night.
We'll talk.
Can't wait to see tomorrow.
Yeah.
But we'll see you tomorrow before your first drink.
That was a great question.
Sousa.
Great question.
It looks like also water Palooza is a smaller payout total this year but i you know
to that question who fucking cares if they're paying the athletes 75k or 100k who fucking
cares a 25k difference if the athletes are getting paid yeah i mean just to echo his words it seems
like everybody tries to buy way too much than they can and it's like there's nothing wrong with
starting small and just creating a really great experience for the crowd that's there for the athletes that do participate and then slowly let that hype build
over time i mean i remember wataplooza way back in the day and it's kind of like what is this thing
and slowly like a tidal wave it's just gotten bigger and bigger and bigger and now i mean this
this event here rivals anything you know it's like you put it up there with rogue and stuff like that
it's one of the better events it's a really great community and they create an awesome atmosphere
here. And it just seems like a lot of the other people
are trying to bite off a little more than they can chew early on.
We are
looking at the scoreboard
and I
believe that the whatever
issue is in event
number
one still has not been fixed. So this
scoreboard is not accurate taylor self is that
correct that is correct can you scroll over hit next workout it's it's all the way updated
but um you should subtract about 20 points away from king bk and friends and then and then the
it's uh updated as okay so bk and Prince will be third place just by a small amount.
And then everything is accurate after that.
Got it.
Okay.
So we have Fikowski and Jeffrey Adler and Patrick Vellner in first place.
We have the boys, which are the favorites
and the champs, the defending champs.
Travis Mayer, Chandler
Smith, and
Noah Olsen.
Oh, look at this. There he is.
Okay. Brian Friend, how are you,
my friend?
Nervous. Oh, good.
Me too. I have to pee so
fucking bad. I'm nervous too.
Who's on here?
Who's on here who's going to harass me tonight?
Taylor, Hiller, John Young, and Matthew Souza.
I think John's on here at least.
To defend you.
He always got your back.
Someone who knows something like you do.
Okay.
We have the, we're looking at the men's leaderboard and we still have a bkg
in front what did you say why and we're looking at um oh shit what did i do here and we're looking at
a bkg and friends and they still uh have a first place i know finished So is that not correct? It's not correct.
John is telling us to subtract 20 seconds.
No, sorry, 20 points from their score.
So they have 332 to take them down to 312.
Are you okay with us doing that?
Yeah, it seems like something about that's going to happen.
And obviously will also cause other teams to have more points.
Oh, okay.
So we can't just drop them into third.
It could push some other people up.
Yeah.
If you sort, you just sort, sort, rank that leaderboard.
Okay.
You'll see their time is like nine 55 or something like that.
Right.
Yes.
Nine 55.
Yes.
Oh no, you're right. You're right you're right they probably they probably would have finished about 30 seconds later
okay which would give them a score of 10 25
okay which would be uh eighth place eighth place and then look at all the teams that are in first through seventh place in that scenario.
Okay.
And add a few points to all of those teams as well, and then go do your math again.
Okay.
So basically, we'll see you tomorrow when the leaderboard's fixed.
I did spend a decent amount of time and john helped with this to gather some information to
help sort this situation out the more the everyone seems to agree that something
incorrect happened and that the most likely reason is a equipment malfunction
that's not an athlete's fault it It's not a judge's fault.
So correcting that situation is not as straightforward as some other situations,
even though a lot of people want to believe that it is.
So I'm going to work on it now.
Hey, what actually happened?
Was it he got on his rower and there were already like 20 calories knocked off of it?
Or what happened?
No one reset his rower? What happened? Do you know 20 calories knocked off off of it or what what happened no one reset his rower what what happened do you know i don't exactly know um could you
speculate i've never used those rowers so i'm not really sure what but it's uh i know there were
some equipment malfunctions with the rowers earlier in the day sorry about that noise in the background which is the reason why oh damn it's okay we like it
that's the reason why there were some uh scaled teams in the rx seat so maybe they were having
some problems with these rowers throughout the day but they always had spare rowers on this floor
as well um but you know in a situation like that if the uh
if the rower malfunctions i don't know i don't know what you're supposed to do in the heat of
the moment but that's why it's nice to have cameras so you can go back and see you know
what it took most people to do the row and then obviously the rowing amount of time you spend on
the rower is not reasonable i know you have some proximity bias with Gabby Magawa,
Laura Horvat, and Jamie Simmons.
They're sort of some of your
favorites, although you try to stay impartial.
Are you pretty excited that they're in
first place, and do you think that they hold it for the rest
of the... until
tomorrow night? You know who
I befriended today? Who?
Mallory O'Brien. No
shit. Put in a good word for me shit put in a good word for me put in a good word for
hillar yeah we bonded uh we bonded by making fun of jake marconi if you want to throw the
relationship away bring up hillar's name and then if that doesn't do it bring up my name
um that's the one not surprised i'm not surprised that la and Gabby and Jamie are doing well.
I mean, we talked about it in the buildup to this competition.
There are, you know, two of the top seven or eight fittest in the world.
Jamie Simmons has been in that group before and is making her way back and seemingly getting
better.
Um, this, this, this competition, you know, allows to conceal weaknesses.
All of them have things that have prevented them from doing a little
bit better at the games, and we saw in the first workout
today that they could just kind of dodge
those, and same thing tonight.
I'm just listening to that girl yell in the background.
It was just hypnotizing to me. Hey,
how was the stream today?
We took about an hour break today and I was able to watch
Chase and Shawnee go
at it and it sounded great and looked great.
It was during one of the swim D-ball event,
run event.
I think
Shawn and Chase are doing a fantastic
job. I've been able to listen to most
of them on the floor.
There's some very very difficult
events to call a lot of things happening multiple scored events in and out of the water
team is getting laughed you know people snatching and cleaning in different parts of the floor it's
a very challenging broadcast very challenging commentary i thought they were amazing i thought
chase took some incredible gambles he was like there's three things you shouldn't do.
A land attack on Asia.
He said like something else and then something else.
I was like, holy shit, he's going for it.
Menopause and Medcons 1999.
Thank you all for the excellent coverage.
Who do you think is a better swimmer, Chase Ingram or Taylor Self?
You know who really impressed me in the water today?
Chandler Smith.
Oh, yeah.
He was the guy who improved his swimming.
Yeah.
Well, he was swimming next to Vellner.
Be fair.
Be fair.
He and Vellner got in at the same time, and I said to Chase and Sean,
I said, Hopper's probably going to pass them both.
Hopper easily passed Vellner but could not reel in Smith.
Hopper's also not the best swimmer.
This is a really generous donation by Menopause and Medcons, and what a crazy name.
Thank you all for the excellent coverage.
I appreciate it.
I double appreciate it because you're a woman, and I imagine there's not too many women who listen to this show.
You must be smart.
Brilliant.
Brian, as Chandler Smith was sitting on the edge of the platform to go in,
Vellner jumped in kind of like ahead of him and got like four, you know,
12-foot head start on him, and Chandler passed him like he was standing still.
Yeah.
I don't mean to undermine what you're saying, but Vellner looked horrible out there.
I think you would have looked like a good swimmer next to Vellner.
I would look like a good
swimmer next to Taylor. Oh, that's true.
Ooh, baby.
You are a good swimmer. You swam, right?
You did swim. I did, but I
always take a video of a 50 meter
to prove it, don't you guys?
Hey, that's my worst
event, and you know that.
Mark Belflore, Vellner had two days of competition that is true and it is really impressive how well they're doing
don't you think uh it was actually maybe my the highlight of my day today was watching he and
velner snatching clean in the first round of that i mean obviously no one can look at each other but
they look like they've done it a million times. It was almost perfect synchronization.
Yeah, so beautiful.
The last workout was sync up and squat.
First place was Team Go WOD.
Oh, my God.
I spoke to Jay Crouch after that event.
I go, how fun is it working out with Roman?
He goes, oh, it's very fun, but it's very challenging.
And when we jumped up
for the last set of muscle-ups he was on the bar I was on the ring and he just goes 10 and I was
like uh five ten yeah uh he Jay was beaming uh we got to interview him as he walked off uh so cool
Suze was able to grab him and he was beaming. Yeah, they were having fun. They were joking in the back.
I've been able to spend a little bit of time with Rosa,
the translator for Roman.
And she said he's having a great time.
I think that that team is actually a pretty dangerous team tomorrow.
They just seem to be.
Well, what Jay told me is, look, when we have a plan beforehand,
we can't change it on the floor.
So we just have to stick to our plan.
And sometimes that can be a good thing.
I think that was tonight.
Awesome.
All right, dude.
Thank you.
I will send you an invite in the morning.
Always good seeing you.
I know you're working three jobs and I appreciate you continuing your support.
And as Taylor said, remembering your roots, your roots, your roots, the roots.
Never forget your roots. Never forget your roots.
Never forget your roots.
All right, brother.
Thank you.
We'll talk to you soon.
You guys.
All right.
The great Brian friend.
Hey, I got to hop off.
What time?
The great John Young.
I will tomorrow morning show 730 a.m.
Pacific Standard Time.
That's an hour before the show we're starting
early tomorrow okay so that's 9 30 your time i think you're central yeah you're a good dude
hey thank you okay i'll see you ah yes up close and personal
uh jacklyn uh mims 999 another 999 because i screwed up my screwed up my comment earlier
thank you for all the coverage and commentary repping my TCEO shirt and no rep jogger.
You have a no rep jogger?
I don't have shit.
People keep thanking me for shirts, and I'm like, dude, these are all Travis's.
A jogger is pants.
Correct.
Yeah.
He's made joggers.
Yeah.
Yeah, but they're no rep.
It's you, right?
You get loot from that?
I don't.
No.
Oh, you're fucked. I'm sorry. You, right? You get loot from that? I don't, no. Oh, you're fucked.
I'm sorry.
You're fucked.
I get loot from mine.
Speaking of loot,
you want to see something?
Hey, that makes perfect sense.
Oh, that is nice.
Oh, wow.
It's pretty tight.
Wow.
This is cool.
Hey, thank you, Jacqueline Mims.
Hey, that makes sense
because Sousa went in
to the Vindicate booth.
And in the booth, it's all no rep shit.
And you got to like dig through a pile of no rep shit to find a CEO shirt.
They're front and center.
They've got silver lettering on it.
They're really cool.
Yeah, except for the one that's really up front and center.
I walked up and I'm like, these are cool.
Don't ruin my story.
Brand new.
I can undo any story.
Andrew, overall thoughts it look i'm gonna tell you it looks really good on video it looks fun the i want i when i did the
games i never once thought oh i wish i was there but a few times when i was watching here i was
like oh you know that kind of looks cool five dollars for the no rep joggers but wait a minute
drink some margaritas everyone's getting money for Hiller shit
except Hiller thank you Jacqueline
I'll make sure that Andrew gets that in a timely fashion
we don't have an ongoing agreement
he's given me a little bit of money at some point in the past
but we don't have an ongoing agreement
so it's not like we sell more clothes
I make money on it
I just want him to
from what I understand
and this makes a lot of sense
he's brought a bunch of stuff here and it's expensive to ship it and the less the more he
sells the less he's got to ship back which goes a long way towards breaking even and then some
with the whole process he's right next to gabe and gabe's got a line out the fucking door
it's super cool the gabe paper street coffee that's awesome that does he was telling me when
he came to charlotte that that was that was the goal when you go to an event like that is just a
break even and i was like fucking sweating balls the whole time like man he's gonna fucking hate
this place he's gonna lose money but he actually made money in in charlotte so hopefully he can
make money in miami uh pretty cool I'm going to take a quick leak.
Can you pull up questions for one minute and we'll stay on for,
are you guys cool for staying on for like 15 more minutes?
Of course I can stand forever.
I'm,
I'm free night.
I'm free tonight.
Now we got,
I wanted,
I so badly tomorrow.
We got to ask,
you know,
we got to ask him,
uh,
ask him what?
Well,
so he,
so he,
he asked if I had a question and i hadn't been
prepared for that but i have one for him and i'm standing in line right i'm at the event
so i'm coaching alexis's team it's the rx women who are an hour an hour and a half removed even
two hours removed from the elites yeah in flagler and i'm standing in the line and the entire
conversation is that they never get in
and they all they want to do is see the elites they're already like trying to stockpile themselves
in there and i listened to guido talk on the crossfit podcast with chase and it was really
cool and at that point they had talked about the seating at bayside and how he understood that
there had to be more seats available because more people would want to see things. And I wonder if that's evolved at all and what limitations they have on the event.
Because also I've read the comments in here and everyone's talking about having purchased VIP tickets, which it's 640, I believe, for a three day pass for VIP seats and passes.
And I'm curious what their framework is is on that how they're looking at it
how to increase seating how to get those people in there yeah because if you're a spectator and
you went this year and you stood in that line all weekend you are not i i walk i'm walking
on my gopro and i want to put together this clip it's just called line of palooza
they're not like it wraps wow through a fucking airport that you're never
going to get into hey what are you what were you guys saying i heard some sauce and comments there
you're saying people bought vip tickets but then couldn't get seats inside correct and even as i've
been like reading the comments here apparently the word on the street is you won't make that
mistake twice as in you won't buy that again or you won't come back well unless
there's other stuff you want i'm getting i would the year i was there i had access to some vip stuff
and there was like a good indoor area with like drinks and food and and you could get your swerve
on i mean people people might go there for different reasons but what does this mean what
is this comment christian this comment here is also correct i heard they got in trouble already
what do you mean people in there that way hold on but we can't just answer questions without What does this mean? What does this comment? This comment here is also correct. I heard they got in trouble already.
What do you mean?
Wait, hold on. We can't just answer questions without reading them. Hold on.
The fact that the aerobic capacity guy, his name is escaping me, was speechless when he heard the Times sold it to me. I don't understand that.
Oh, it's because he's working with hip and steel. Nothing he says makes sense anymore.
Wait, wait, no, wait, hold on so another comment clarify yeah was speechless when he heard the times sold it to me the new york
times sold you a ticket to the uh what a blues event i don't i don't understand uh they're
trying to keep that venue cool uh seems like they've maxed out capacity i don't know who cares
if they've maxed it out, right?
If you buy
a fucking ticket and you stand in line all
weekend, you care.
They warn you ahead of time, I'm sure. You know.
No?
I don't know how you shit ahead of time.
Chris Henshaw wasn't there for the Roe event.
What are you talking about? Okay, here we go.
I'm referring to 5K time.
I think this is probably something that was done on the broadcast he probably talked over oh he was talking about yeah the 5k run times and he
was surprised when okay this is irrelevant to our conversation we're talking about lines
okay the comment is referencing the 14 okay okay right uh there were people doing there was a team
that did a 1431 5k right or something yeah they were just alternating and
beating feet and then they took a massive beating on the other workout right yeah i recommended that
my team is to redo that they did something like that hey here's the thing everyone doesn't have
money here's the thing like i i went to the super bowl once and i would never fucking pay my own
money to go to super bowl and the seat was fucking pay my own money to go to Super Bowl. And the seat was fucking thirty five hundred bucks.
And it was the worst fucking time of my life.
And I stayed for the fucking halftime show in third quarter and left.
It was the dumbest event ever.
And Snoop Dogg was to my left and no one can watch the event.
They just watch the TV seat, the TV screen.
The good thing about a CrossFit event is even if you don't get in every seat in that venue is a great seat.
There's not probably a bad seat in that venue.
You can see
what the fuck is going on same thing i've been to a manny pacquiao fight mayweather fight someone
else paid for horrible yeah i see you're right thank you rich sebon doesn't have sebon money
that's the fucking best thing ever anyone's ever said and uh so i i i don't know you're right i'd
be pissed if i paid 1200 and i couldn't you're right i i i i. I'd be pissed if I paid $1,200 and I couldn't – you're right.
I admit.
I'm trying to defend Wadapalooza.
I'll shut the fuck up.
I'd be pissed if I paid $1,200 for a VIP pass and I couldn't sit front and center and spit a loogie onto the back of Chad Flopper's neck.
Yeah.
And to respond to Lazar, the new air runners all run fast.
Too fast or they're correct fast too fast like they're
faster than what i would run on land for sure they were too slow yeah we have one that's too slow
like way too slow and the ones at jr's gym like i'm warming up at a fucking 550 mile i'm like
there's no way this is right wouldn't it be great to so can you reserve any seats there wouldn't it be great to... Can you reserve any seats there? Wouldn't it be great to get some seats there and just heckle people?
As far as reserving them, they'd heckle.
They wouldn't let you heckle.
Oh, really?
Waterplains would just toss your ass out.
Geed would come over and be like...
I don't think any CrossFit event would let you heckle.
Oh, Ricky Garrard got fucking booed at the games.
Yeah, but that's...
What are they going to do?
Throw out the stadium? Yeah, exactly. They a good... What are they going to do, throw out the stadium?
Yeah, exactly.
What are you saying?
The jackass guy in Happy Gilmore.
If it's okay,
if we all agree to burn the witch,
we can do it.
A bad seat would be better
than standing in mud listening to the crowd
cheer. Yeah. That's right.
There's all... Dude, you should have seen these lines.
I had another another.
I went to the Rolling Stones and I was in the best skybox in San Diego and I left after five minutes.
Just like, fuck this.
He looked like he was this fucking big and you couldn't you couldn't hear a fucking thing he was saying.
Horrible.
I don't know.
Why does anyone go to concerts? I saw you two in Madison Square Garden. Same thing he was saying. Horrible. I don't know. Why does anyone go to concerts?
I saw U2 in Madison Square Garden.
Same thing.
Amazing seats.
Horrible.
Left early.
Yeah, concerts, not a big fan.
Stupid.
I saw Daniel Tosh in Palm Springs.
Eric Meyers.
That's why he didn't even stay.
Amazing.
Daniel Tosh was amazing?
Amazing.
Dude, I bet that was awesome.
I want to go see uh
when i was in austin i was crying taylor i was crying when i was in austin i was trying to get
tickets to a comedy show that um joe rogan was at but didn't shake out my big jre guy
comedy person dude so good i want to see mark norman and theo vaughn theo vaughn
beyond anyone else i i i saw joe rogan on netflix and i was actually quite pleasantly surprised he
went too long on the vegan shit but i was very pleasantly surprised and theo vaughn i and i he
kind of uh he's kind of a one i feel like he's kind of a one-trick pony i got a little exhaust
i got he exhausted me it's just word yeah he just has his plays on words and it's like interchanged like verbiage stuff it's like the buddy used to
smoke weed with and just say he's just said non-stop funny shit like marston's like that
of marston and heber fame the buttery bros mars if you hang out with marston he'll just start
saying the funniest shit uh really i i don't know i think theo von comes up with some new stuff and
he just says things off the cuff that like okay okay, surprise you. It's like, holy shit.
Uh, smart vaginas.
Listen to you, Sevan.
Well, thank you.
That's my favorite kind of vagina.
Smart ones.
I just noticed you don't have any facial hair, homie.

You got that shit waxed.
Dude, how bad would it hurt to get your face waxed

how in the hell are we supposed to guess what he's making me feel retarded i've never seen
seven saying i'm i'm that's i'm doing the facial id i'm an expert at doing the facial id on the
iphone like when it asks for it i do it and i do it in one like you see these just fucking idiots

the phone around and shit i'm like listen motherfucker my phone just unlocks when i
look at it i don't have to move my face no but when you set it up when you set it up yeah probably
because you only set up one phone i set up a phone every six months seven money but you it's this

you can drink it though no you can't drink it either oh yeah it's a scent yeah well when
actually you ever like tasted shit though by smelling too much poop sorry chase
chase we've moved i'm sorry you've come on
too late we've moved on past the crossfit portion of this oh okay what now where are we at we're
talking about abortion or vaccines no neither either by smelling too much poop that's where
we're at the whole time change is on here i'm gonna put it in my uh monocle
The whole time Chase is on here, I'm going to put it in my monocle.
My eye is too small.
Hey, dude, great job today.
Oh, thank you.
Great job.
We took an hour break today, and I went in the gym and played you full blast and worked out to you and Sean Woodland, and you guys did an amazing job.
Thank you.
Well, I appreciate that.
Teams are tough.
Tell me some crazy shit you saw.
I'll start you off.
How about that scene when Chandler was getting his shit together on the edge of the ramp
and just Vellner jumped in past him?
Do you remember that?
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, that was cool.
He even talked about it afterwards.
He's like, Pat jumped over me to get in the water.
Pat didn't even acknowledge him on the ramp.
It wasn't even like a snake, just like, hey, he's going.
This many fucks.
Yes.
Right there.
And we were talking about whether Chandler Smith,
Brian was on here and saying that Chandler was a good swimmer,
and I was like, are you fucking kidding me?
He passed, how can we tell if he's a good swimmer?
He was swimming next to Vellner.
Well, he um he started very
conservative at the beginning and that little wrestling kind of threw him off a little i'm in
hotel lobby by the way oh it's nice um and i'm sitting on the floor but uh and then he said
about midway through he realized he felt fine so he like kicked it up and a notch but i thought
his swimming is improved he looked pretty good today. Okay. Go ahead.
Would you smack all those guys in the water?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Except that Spaniard.
He's good.
Guillaume Briant?
No, not like for team.
I think his name is Pablo.
He's a big dude.
Good swimmer.
Escobar yeah exactly hey
you actually said you actually said on the stream hey it's it's not uh it's not always
advantageous to be tall and skinny unless there's a swim event but but that guy's not what that you
that guy wasn't tall and skinny i was like damn chase just dogged that dude i mean for five six
average 195 pitbull crossfitters, he's tall and skinny.
Yeah, good point.
Good point.
How tall is that guy?
I think he's 6'3".
So basically Godzilla on a crossing competition.
Okay.
How about this guy in the individuals yesterday?
People were saying they had him at six foot, but he made Dallin look short.
Largo?
Oh, yeah.
Lalo or something like that.
He is at least 6'5".
Okay, that's what we were hearing.
At least.
Wow.
How did he get in?
Did he qualify?
He did the online qualifier.
Wow.
Yeah.
I think he's an old South Central or South Regional team guy.
He was huge.
He didn't look like he belonged there.
He looked like he snuck in.
I mean, but he did great.
Yeah, he did.
Like, the guy put up some weight and could move well.
He just didn't look the part.
It's like a bumblebee.
Paige Powers yesterday, do you think that Ariel Lowen could have won that uh if we're doing a little like no
one's listening there's only 680 people on right now uh between me and you do you think uh ariel
could have she just threw away 75 000 it's hard to say i mean low like we'll say i'll underestimate
ariel lowen so then i obviously the answer is like i think she could have done very well but
like page power surprised the shit
out of me so I don't know how
other athletes would have stacked up for the weekend
that are around
that 10 to 15 range
at the games
but who was her biggest competition was Danny
Spiegel and that was what Danny's
bottom 20 of the games
yes but it wasn't this programming
I think Danny was 17th 17th at the games? Yes, but it wasn't this programming. I think Danny was 17th
at the games.
This programming,
I think the way it unfolded over the weekend
played well to their strong suits.
Does Ariel Lowen
fit this programming well?
I think is the better question
to answer.
Probably not as much as a Spiegel
or a Paige Bowers. 6'3 is basically a skyscraper to Sebon. question to to answer probably not as much as a steve allura page powers six three is uh basically
a skyscraper to seven seven trying to flex on chase always uh yeah we have 600 no big deal yeah
um what about um um the fact that maybe ariel ariel lowen we just see is kind of maintaining
her ability and page Powers, we never know
how good she is because she's so young and every time we see her
she's going to be better.
Those younger athletes are just going to make
leaps and bounds every year that they
mature, train.
That's what the young kids are doing.
Emma Carey's performance was incredible. I didn't think
I'd see anything that
remotely close to what she did, even though
a lot of people were predicting it and prove them right. But, uh, you know, and Lowen's, uh, I mean, mom,
older athlete, she's been in the game for a long time. So, but she's still improving too,
but not at the rate you're going to see these younger, you know, teenage girls, young 20, um,
advance in CrossFit. I am, I am shocked that no one came out to get that 75 000 are you i am okay good
hi i'm a little catch and davis daughter last minute sign up win the competition yeah yeah yeah
yeah good yeah yeah exactly that i mean i and i that's what makes wadapalooza so cool that someone
like catch and can just sign up last minute and take the fucking shit hey imagine what she could
have brought if she would have entered that would have fucking that would have really
invigorated the uh i don't think she's beating page powers if she signed up either way it would
have got it would have piqued my interest uh with full notch higher would have piqued my interest
a full notch higher i think raptus could have done it hey that would have piqued me too that would have got me got my juices flowing too that'd be cool
cool to see hey um what about this technique um with the uh ball uh the d-ball low versus the
d-ball on the back do you see one of those techniques is just completely fucking idiotic
i wouldn't say idiotic i'd say just one is using your arms to push off your legs and the other is a real dumbbell
or d-ball squat correct explain that to me i thought the point the ball on was so you could
rest at the bottom and lap it yeah so they're yeah your arms are under and so you're four it's
like when we used to be able to push off our knees for air squats and then cancel that in 2012 after the 2011 games
okay um it helps right so pushing off your like you can't push off your your leg doing dumbbell
snatches anymore because it helps it makes it easier um i would have liked to see it more on
the shoulder but after individual event they just wanted to keep things consistent so that's what
they wanted to do oh okay teams go because the rx teams were enforcing it keeping it
away from their legs oh really that's good at least it wasn't a mix of divisions um that's
right that would be a little that's a lot of palooza for you well you know okay well i'm okay
with that so basically what you're saying is they saw that and they were like fuck next year we can't
do that they knew right away that they didn't like that why don't you like Chase? Why don't you just keep it easy and just say range of motion?
It's a fucking burpee.
All you got to do is touch your titties and your cock and ball to the ground
and get your feet off the ground.
That's it.
You could do that.
There was some range of motion issues when you have your arms down there
because it compresses everything at the bottom,
so it makes it a little or a lot blurry.
Like maybe you don't get below parallel.
Is that what you're saying okay i think it's a lot harder to achieve below parallel with the ball
in that low carry position versus on top of the shoulder uh anthony tpa chase is the cf commentary
goat turquoise white horns that is that like a special greatest of all is that a good one or a bad one i think it's good like a china doll you know okay well thank you i appreciate that is that this is a
great question i didn't i damn i wish i would have i would have thought of this uh david smith
do you think that that was that technique is what caused the uh go ahead go ahead taylor he had it
on his shoulder when it started cramping, and he dropped it,
and then he picked it up into the bear hug and got his bicep extended,
and it was okay.
So he was in this position holding it behind his head,
and his bicep cramped up, and then when he dropped it... Holy shit, dude.
I wonder if that's what happened.
Well, now we're hearing that it might be torn a little bit, Chase.
I wonder if when it cramped and he lowered it, that's what caused maybe the tear.
He didn't lower it.
He dropped it, though.
Well, say it's cramping that bad and he tries to pick it up.
Like a 150-pound wet D-ball is heavy shit.
Yeah.
Right?
And so when you have a poor grip, all of your tension goes to your elbow.
And so when you have a poor grip, all of your tension goes to your elbow.
And that's why people's elbows bend when they start to lose their grip during pharma carries and things like that.
They won't extend their arms. So if you put all that into your elbow, which is where your biceps anchor, then you can put yourself in a compromising position with a default like that, especially if it's cramping.
um there was a uh there was that guy who was doing the breaststroke yeah with no goggles no goggles and a full blown chest hair it's just like a bear out there he wasn't he was huge
yeah um you really went for it there you were like uh you said some line like there's three things you don't do you don't do a land war
in asia what was the second yeah you'd never start a land you never start a land war in asia
you never go in against the sicilian when death is on the line yes you never bet against the
australians in a swim event yes yes yes it's a princess bride quote oh is it really yeah yeah did you know that hillar
no i haven't seen that movie in a bit i know you've seen it yeah hey i was did did uh sean
know it was a princess bride quote he did when it was over i don't usually tell like i don't
usually think of something but earlier that morning i was picking that team to watch and
i was like i'll throw that shit out there and see if anybody notices oh it was a fucking mouthful sorry go ahead go ahead during the knife fight
in the movie or no uh well that's like you know my name is amigo montoya you kill my father
that was when they the sicilian battles when they were drinking the poison
right and he switched the goblets and yeah it's great movie. Do you have time to talk to the athletes
before the event? Do you talk to any of these
guys personally? Are you just stuck
sequestered in a booth and you have to get
all your information secondhand?
Secondhand for the most part. That's where
Brian is super, super helpful
for us in the broadcast.
He goes downstairs and
schmoozes with them and gets
little tidbits. my mom's here
for the first time my dad died last week well most of it he gets before we get out there like
he does so much of that for us um and then we're in constant communication during the broadcast too
most of it's what's happening on the floor because he can see what the camera doesn't see
right so he's he's helpful to give us context if certain things go awry that we didn't
catch.
When do you get to see the athletes?
When do you get to schmooze them?
I probably had like 30 to 40 minutes of total break time to just like leave
the booth today.
So.
Do you actually do that or do you go eat at that point?
I try to eat, use the bathroom. Um, it's cold.
So I went for like a run around the complex just to kind of like warm up and
just clear my brain fog.
Staring at a monitor in a box for hours on end,
especially when it's running and see hillar back to staring
at a screen there we go uh hillar and i have a lasting debate going on about that jacklyn robinson
ten dollars chase that princess by bride quote oh yes and the banana hammock weight belt combo
comment had me dying you're a national treasure on that one hey if i the thing is is when you say
those i really just want to see sean's face like i wish i wish i could see the both of you like i'm
just like oh they need a camera in the booth because when you said the banana hammock and
he must have chosen that combo ahead of time with the weight belt who was that guy i don't know
yeah taylor you ever want a banana hammock and a weight belt
a banana hammock have i ever worn both yeah like a speedo i've never worn a banana hammock
yeah you used to swim bro didn't you used to swim no i never swam competitively oh shit
okay that's hillar i've done that weight banana hammock? I got a picture of myself and Guy wearing a banana
hammock and a Speedo.
And a weight belt, actually.
Very similar to that.
Yeah, clock cutter, the belt hammock
comment was fire. Yeah.
It was crazy.
Anything planned for tomorrow?
Lines?
Any one line?
No.
No, no.
The only one I wrote down today was the Princess Vibe and everything else is off.
Were you pretty proud of the Banana Hammock weight belt one as it came out?
No, I wasn't.
Well, I was like, I'm probably going to get some flack for that one.
Oh, no.
Okay, good.
That makes me happy.
So you're flirting with disaster.
God, that makes me happy.
At all times.
That's why it's fun to listen to.
There's one that comes off and I was like, ooh, I probably should have thought about that one before it came out.
God, it was good.
Thank you.
All right. What time do you start tomorrow?
I think about the same time as we did today. We have a production meeting at 11.
That probably preludes the first event by about two hours.
I thought the first event tomorrow was early, early.
Oh, like.
I thought it was 10.
I have you at 10.30 a.m. going.
No, no.
11.30 a.m. going.
11.30 a.m. going.
Sorry.
11.30 a.m.
No.
Eastern.
Oh, really?
Eastern.
I better figure that out or I will miss the first flight.
Okay.
And then when do you go home?
Do you rush home to your family or do you get to leave tomorrow night or do you stay until the morning?
Yeah, tomorrow night.
It just runs too late to catch any late-minute flights, so I always take the first flight out.
If I could have made it the night just to be home and help out at home more, I would.
But I'm taking the 5 a.m.
So Chase, do you watch the comments on the stream?
No, we don't see him.
God, dude, it's so you know, it's so easy.
If you had so great, right, you could lean on him like we do.
Yeah.
Anytime we run out of shit to say, I'm like, OK, let me think of a new question for chase no fuck that i'll choose from one from over here
it was longer events we feel like it's like maybe we should just turn this into a podcast for the
next three heats of 5k runs on an assault uh chase can you please slip in the word anal into tomorrow's
broadcast oh brian that is not cool what are you you doing? The Nolakai. Just talk about the guy.
I've had some Freudian slips over the years.
Not on purpose.
I love that every time Chase mentioned a no rep athlete's got a no rep.
The Chase curse.
Oh, my God.
I felt so bad. Tell me about that.
Tell me about that.
I would usually say is if they can hang on to the bar,
they'll be fine.
And then they would drop.
Or if they,
you know,
they're moving too fast,
they should probably lock out and get a no rep.
And I felt pretty bad.
That happened oddly multiple times,
especially in that first event today.
How about Jamie Simmons on the,
how about Jamie Simmons on the muscle ups?
The lockout?
Yeah.
Good. No, not good. Well, it could be better. How about Jamie Simmons on the muscle-ups? The lockout? Yeah. Good?
No.
Not good.
Well, it could be better.
And David Durante actually had a great suggestion.
I don't know if you guys heard him talk about it.
He said he would love to see an external force or a forced external rotation to establish a better lockout.
Because if the rings are in, you can't actually lock your elbow
out appropriately. If they're internally rotated, it just doesn't work. So if you, uh, that's the
ghost of a Greg Glassman, that's a gymnast talking. Yeah. And that's the reason why we all had to do
that turnout with the old school muscle ups, because that was just the, the salute to the
judges back in the day. But that became like how we established the bottom position of the ring,
not even the top.
I,
I,
I,
I think I,
uh,
I remember the first time I did nasty girls.
Uh,
I,
I,
it was,
it was even at the bottom.
You had to turn.
No one has some saying like we didn't have as much of a turnout at the
top,
but like,
I think all the way up to maybe 11 or 12,
any video before that,
every person flashes out before.
Yeah. Yeah. Wow. Wow. Yeah. Hey, let me tell you something. Adrian can do anything.
Yeah. But how do you standardize flashing, flashing out?
You could say that'd be hard to make it. It would be hard. Right.
That'd be hard.
It would be hard, right?
But the one I was thinking about watching it is that, you know,
if the lockout of the rings is facing, like if the circle is facing in,
and so the lockout would be tapped to get past that vertical plane of the lockout.
You could stand the judges in a certain spot and put a mark on the ring and say, hey, if you don't see that mark on the ring, it's a no rep.
It'd be that easy.
Put on the inside of the ring. So you can't see it unless it's turned out.
Sevan did nasty girls only in his head.
I actually, I'll tell you guys, I actually went to a gym and, uh, um, I don't know. It's, it was just going to be, it was going to be about, there was a, someone mentioned a guy today. He was a, it was a games athlete, uh, mentioned a gym today. And there was a games athlete who went there and they're both L1 trainers. And I went to their gym and I did nasty girls there. And I can't remember exactly, but I either beat him or the girlfriend.
And that was really my – that was a great workout for me.
That's like just right in my fucking wheelhouse as a young man.
Did you scale the hang power cleans to like 75?
Fuck no.
Fuck no.
I probably did the girls weight though.
I probably did scale it.
Sorry, you're right.
I probably did.
95.
What was it, 95?
The RX weight is 135. Oh, yeah, yeah. I probably did. Yeah, yeah. I did 95. You're right. Shit, you're right. I probably did. 95. Was it 95? The RX weight is 135.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
I probably did.
Yeah, yeah.
I did 95.
You're right.
Shit.
You're right.
I did.
700 Nasty Girls at a donkey show in San Jose.
All right, Chase.
It was nice having you on.
Okay.
I really appreciate it.
You've had a long night.
Thanks.
You the man.
Will you have a sip of something, a whiskey or tonight or something?
No.
I would normally, but like for January, I'm doing no bread, sugar, alcohol for.
Oh, good on you.
