What do you mean
it doesn't work?
Can you hear me?
Through the fucking
microphone you have on, yeah.
I don't even
know what Pedro said, but fuck, it's
better than anything I was going to say.
Oh, Nelly.
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the only non-real media show that's the most important show in the CrossFit game space.
And I'd like to welcome you, Brandon LeCocq.
What's up, guys?
From last night.
Man, fancy car.
Rooftop, right?
Yeah.
Last night, we...
Oh, thank you.
Sorry.
Okay.
Before we go to Brandon and give away free tickets to the CrossFit Games this year,
I just this in.
Barry McOchner, John Young isn't gay.
All right.
That's good.
But how does he know that?
Have you ever tried it?
It's not Barry McCocken him.
Right.
Brandon, yesterday people were supposed to send you
reasons why they wanted your free tickets to the crossfit
games and uh they were supposed to dm you did anyone actually dm you yeah i've been getting
blown up all day oh good oh good so it was incredibly humbling reading the stories and
uh all the people that are fans of the show and the community
and their reasons for wanting to go to the games overseas, U.S., like all over the place.
It was pretty cool reading through everything.
Did anyone say, hey, I want to go there to give Sevan a handy?
You know, there was a couple that kind of alluded.
No, I'm just kidding. No, no.
All right.
You didn't get my DM then, though.
You didn't get Pedro's DM. though. You didn't get Pedro's DM.
And I definitely didn't get any DP, so that was good.
Oh, that made it easy.
And who is the winner?
So it was really tough.
It was between two people at the end.
Philip Kelly is the one that I'm going to give the tickets to.
Wow.
And then a kid sent a video.
I don't know his age.
His name's Enoch, E-N-O-C-H.
So everybody watching the show, please go and check the kid out.
He wants to go to the games eventually.
And I thought that was super cool and inspiring.
He's going to do big things in life. eventually and I thought that was super cool and inspiring he's he's gonna he's
gonna do big things in life so but Philip Kelly yeah he's got an incredible
story and so on you know I'm I think yeah by the look of it and yeah so he
didn't have tickets already no so apparently he bought airline tickets he
bought hotel and he was gonna try to just get tickets when he got there.
So he was pot committed.
That was part of it.
But his story and the way he's going to potentially inspire people to keep going and hold on to the community is really cool.
Awesome.
Kelly does my program.
He does?
Yeah, he's on SMTP, dude. Dang. He's rocking a hat and my program. He does. Yeah.
He's on SMTP dude.
Yep.
Dang.
He's a fucking G.
No wonder he can't afford tickets.
He's given all of his money to,
uh,
SM,
uh,
programming.
Yeah.
You should be paying him though.
No,
I'm just kidding.
Get,
get gouging that mother.
Hey,
um,
and,
and,
and what about Enoch?
He's the runner up.
He doesn't get tickets.
He just gets an honorable mention.
Um, so it depends. I got to chat with Kelly, uh, Philip and see, uh, And what about Enoch? He's the runner-up. He doesn't get tickets. He just gets an honorable mention.
So it depends.
I got to chat with Kelly and Phillip and see because I could do one apiece,
but I don't know.
I think he's bringing – Phillip's bringing his wife.
Okay.
Or significant other.
I have to dig into that, but yeah.
But if for some reason Phillip can't make it, Enoch is the backup.
Yep. Hey, dude. I really appreciate you doing this it, Enoch is the backup. Yep.
Hey, dude, I really appreciate you doing this.
What great support for the show.
It's fun and good to meet you. And I guess hopefully I'm going to call Dave here.
I'm going to call Dave here in a few minutes
and ask him if I can do the behind the scenes this year.
And so if he says yes, then hopefully I get to see you this year.
That's cool. Yeah, absolutely.
We'd love to meet you guys. Say hi, high five.
Walking by. I really appreciate it.
And you guys rock it tonight. Looking forward

Dude, I had the weirdest dream about Dave Castro
the other night. Oh. It wasn't a
wet one. Okay. What happened? I'll let you guys speculate. This is the other night. Oh. It wasn't a wet one. Okay.
What happened?
I'll let you guys speculate.
This is the dreams podcast.
Do you want to know what happened?
Ariel was talking about her dreams earlier.
So what were your dreams?
Okay, so.
If it wasn't a wet one, it was probably chafing.
I cried in it.
Did you make the games?
Did you wake up crying?
No, listen. No, I was a Did you make the games? Did you wake up crying? No, listen.
No, I was a backfill at the games.
The first event was a biking event, and all the athletes were bringing their own bikes.
So I'm like, shit, I got to bring my bike.
And I have the shittiest $300 off Craigslist fucking road bike.
And during the event, it breaks.
And so I'm all pissed.
I'm upset. i'm gonna get
cut because my bike broke and i go into like the room and i was like you guys couldn't even
fucking afford to give the athletes bikes and like boz goes like um dude john or track or giant
or somebody was doing an athlete assistance program like you didn't hear about it and like
i got even like angry and started crying i was like no i didn't hear about it. And like, I got even like angry and started crying.
I was like, no, I didn't hear about it.
And then Dave like touched my shoulder, consoled me.
I said, don't fucking touch me.
And then I woke up.
Wow.
That's so sad.
So if we backfill to you,
does that work the same way as like if the president dies?
So all of Congress has to die
for you to be able to be president. So everybody all of Congress has to die for you to be able to be president.
So everybody at the games has to die for you to backfill.
Yeah.
I'm like,
I'm like fucking Jack Bauer.
What's that actor's name,
dude,
who does that in that movie?
The second,
it would be deep.
It would be deep.
Fuck you,
bro.
Yeah.
We'd have to have a real pandemic for seven to make the games.
Oppenheimer has to actually happen again.
A real pandemic.

Yeah, this morning was crazy.
Shelby Neal's on another level.
Heat and Ariel's always great.
Heat One app, quick plug.
Tyler, what's he talking about?
Yeah, Heat One app is a fantasy app for the CrossFit Games.
Basically, you can do two games. One, go in, pick your pick your top 10 set it and forget it and check it throughout the weekend we
have a simple scoring system for that one and then the other one is you pick uh players each event
and you get the points that they get and then um there's a catch though you only get to play an
athlete twice and so we'll have a leaderboard for that you can compare your scores with other people
compare your picks with other people we'll have um leaderboard for that. You can compare your scores with other people, compare your picks with other people.
We'll have live notifications
when leaderboards are updated
and all kinds of stuff like that.
So, yep.
And on July 28th,
we will do on this show, same time,
a walkthrough of the app.
We'll pull the app up.

Rachel Laporte, $4.99.
Behind the scenes 2023 is a must.
She's asking for a tour from that South Korean K-pop band, isn't she?
BTS, isn't that the band there?
I don't think she's talking about behind the scenes at all.
No, she is. What are you talking about, Pedro?
Hey, Pedro, what do you think? When you see a girl playing a violin,
what do you think?
Something sad is happening around her.
Oh. What do you think, Tyler?
I think he's happy.
What do you think, John?
But we call them fiddles where I'm from. Oh, true.
I just think of the Titanic.
Oi, oi, Taylor, get your feet i just think of the titanic oi oi taylor self uh i think of
like a i think of like a hipster wow i think of dedicated overachiever oh there was this girl in
my elementary school named emily lou fuck this show would be one of those huh she was a violin player and spot on with that dedicated as fuck awesome okay
cool so yeah this is the first you're hearing that you're gonna do be doing behind the scenes
how do you feel about it i'm fucking pumped dude we skipped over that kind of quickly pumped
i am pumped the thing is is like this fucking guy Dave feels no pressure to like
like I need some like
I need some
I need some closure to it
like this is part a joke but part not a joke
like I need him to be like
yes it is and yes you can film with me
in my car and yes I'll get you access
like I don't have shit
I just have a ticket to Chicago
it's in Madison I know and yes, I'll get you access. I don't have shit. I just have a ticket to Chicago.
It's in Madison.

He's just walking around.
He's got to stop the hillers for a quick pegging before they make their way to the games.
This fucking guy, Jeremy World, $5.
Hi.
Because I'm a bad phone answer.
He sends me a text today saying,
hey, can you grab a beer with me on Thursday in the beer garden?
I don't even know. I have no... I would love
to. If you can't, you can be in
Chicago. But I have no idea what
I'll be... Yeah, right.
Go do a club game. I have no...
I have no
idea. I have no idea. But I want to.
I want to. It would be hilarious
if CrossFit flipped the bill for this
and Chicago... or Saban's just wandering around Chicago on CrossFit's bill.
No. First of all, I will tell you this chance that I think I am doing the behind the scenes
will be footed partially by the money that Taylor and JR make for me
with their amazing scribble show.
Does that mean it will air on YouTube?
Did we make our first dollar on a show
because I didn't say fuck within the first 30 seconds?
Probably.
Your last show is killing.
Harry Balzonia.
Balzonia. Harry Balzonia.
Belzonia. Balzonia. Harry Balzonia.
Sevan is the Jules Jordan of CrossFit.

It's magically delicious.
It's magically delicious.
Question real quick.
We need these as like,
you know, like
buttons we can push.
So, Mom, what was the last year you did the behind the scenes and do you feel like you have unfinished business with it for real um i uh two i think it
was 2018 18 and i um i think i'm well i have two things going on. One, I think,
I think it'll be the best one ever by far.
I think I'll really just absolutely murder it now. And I'm, and,
and I've never done so much legwork. I've never done this much preparation.
So like,
I'm like over the top excited to work with some of the people I, from Artur Seminoff, who I met already on the show,
to Shelby Neal today, to Colton Mertens.
I mean, it's crazy.
The stuff I'm going to dig out is going to be, we're going to party.
And then, of course, the big names, Daniel Brandon, Justin Medeiros.
I'm excited for everyone, all of them, Gazan.
But I also feel like I have something to prove like i have a little bit
of a chip on my shoulder because my departure was so fucked it was so it's so fuck it was so
fucking uncool to kick me out i'm a fucking workhorse i love this shit i love the athletes
as people i love the methodology um it's it's fucked it was it was it wasn't cool it just wasn't cool
like don't like they didn't i didn't have to be i was just like thrown out and it's like
it was bullshit and so i have a chip on my shoulder to make it like
fucking great and just kind of like fuck you look at that i look at my cheesecake over here
look what i made so and i and i hope people appreciate you know i'm like fully charged
and pumped having a chip is huge i feel like in anything you have a chip on your shoulder like
you're ready to fucking get after it yeah it's hard to fail i'm tripping that i'm gonna wake up
on thursday morning at 4 a.m and at 4 50 be downstairs getting in dave's car with him and
nicole christiansen or whoever's
you know or adrian bosman or whoever's riding over to the venue i'm so excited i'm gonna have
both my cameras and fucking my fanny pack and my big old rogue hat and you know what i mean
my leather straps just do you think you'll cry over the weekend uh no i don't i don't think uh i don't know that's
i don't know i don't think so i don't feel very emotional afraid what is there any party that's
afraid you know like when a band a really successful band breaks up and then they get
back together there's obviously that thing of like oh fuck what if no one likes it or what if no you know that kind of way i was afraid maybe um originally when they made dave in charge of the games again i quickly sent him a
one-page proposal and dave said to me i probably am not supposed to say this hey dude you're fucked
and i go why and he goes because if i say yes to this and you don't do it i'm going to tell
the world that i gave you permission to do it you didn't do it i was like oh fuck because i sent the
and he knows me pretty well he knows i sent the one page proposal with only like a five percent
chance interest of doing it and maybe i did that to protect myself but um i don't know yeah i don't
think i'm i'm not scared now for whatever it's worth I'm
I wake up every
morning like I wake up every morning crazy
excited to meet my guest anyway but I'm
pumped I'm really pumped
but I but I but
things could change day one probably a little scary
right I mean there's people I'm gonna have to face there that
I haven't seen in a long fucking time
that's kind of why I've been kind of on a mission to get Katrin on.
I kind of want to just like see, I want to test the waters.
I want to like feel her out specifically because I don't want to fuck with her games at all.
We'll come back to that.
Holy shit.

Oh, my God.
The picture is rough.
Dude, she's plowing that dog.
Oh, my God.

That's definitely real.
I think that's danish uh yeah condes dick fit yeah holy smokes okay uh thank you uh candace dick fit uh

casey what's up dude dude? Sorry, guys.
You're not advanced enough for headphones.
Well, I'm switching my phone.
That's what I get for living in the middle of nowhere.
The Wi-Fi just doesn't work sometimes.
Your cellular is kicking ass, though.
Good.
Hey, dude, let's fucking get to it. Can we see that?
Hey, dude, let's fucking get to it.
What?
Let's, uh, can we see that?
Oh, um, uh, Caleb's asking you to turn your phone the other way, um, from the landscape mode.
Can you turn it sideways?
And, uh, Caleb, can we pull up this clip that everyone's talking about in our, um, thread
today?
This is nuts, dude.
This is, uh, before you do this, uh, set up the scene for us.
Uh, what, what's going on here? Well, tell us what's up
This is this is me training this is a while back
Yeah, dude, I'm just hitting some clean jerks emom style which is how I do a lot of my Olympic weightlifting
Emom every minute on the minute you're lifting?
Yeah.
And you did
15 reps
at 305 on the minute?
No, no.
It was building.
And is this lift number 15?
This is lift number 15, yeah.
Alright.
Ladies and gentlemen.
I'm old. I get gentlemen. I'm old.
I get better as I get warmer.
How old are you?
30.
And you only have one arm.
Correct.
What?
Sorry, Pedro. I should have warned you uh and which part of your arm is missing like do you have a you don't you don't have a hand or you don't have a forearm or what
don't you have i have i have just a little bit of my forearm so i have like action a little bit oh i have a little bit of my forearm
okay very much yeah okay here we go watch this and this is fucking mind-boggling here
or do you think you can do this
um like when like whenever i'm doing this lift yeah at the games like like that lift when you
do that do you think you by the way some asshole some asshole who's in on this podcast right now
i'm not gonna tell you who it is said you didn't get full extension on that that you didn't walk
out that left arm i was glad you did see that. There he is, Irish guy.
In our thread, he's like, I don't know if he got full lockout on that left arm.
I'm like, dude, he's coming on the show.
That's actually valid.
My elbow has to stay a little bit flexed for me to be able to support that weight overhead.
Cheater.
So do you think you can do this when you do this?
As you pull this off the ground, Casey, do you think you can do this when you do this like as you pull this off the ground uh casey do you think you can do this
uh yeah yeah i had just i think the minute before that i hit 300
so like i was just making like small little jumps as i was building up so
yeah like at 300 was easy and felt good like it was just a good day
i think i put on there is like a 25 pound pr that day so
had a strong feeling that that i was going to be able to hit it yeah
it it's it's absolutely crazy hey is there some world record for a clean and jerk for a guy with one arm?
Is that written down anywhere?
Not that I know of. I don't know. It's probably not recorded because it's probably like the same.
Oh, fuck. His connection is horrible. The same limitation that exists right now with a lot of the CrossFit eligibility.
Are you listening to me?
Yeah, it's bad.
I'm stuck between.
I can't hear you, and I'm pissed, and I'm annoyed that Taylor's not paying attention to the show.
I don't know who I'm more upset at.
I was trying to find Pedro's text.
So you could read it directly.
Good, you're doing some research.
That makes me feel better
Casey
Casey our connection is
atrocious let me just ask you this before I let you go
first of all congratulations on that what's your PR
on the clean and jerk
385 oh that was it
305
and are you
you're a games athlete
yes and and uh where did you place last year first and where'd you place the year before
first where'd you place the year before that didn't exist all right uh and you're going to
the game do you guys actually get to compete in madison this year yes oh well good this isn't a waste of my time then all right cool
hey dude uh i hope to see you there what day are you competing
uh tuesday wednesday thursday same as the age groups bitchin oh hey i have a question okay go
ahead i interviewed uh jabby also he's in your in your division two weeks ago or whatever.
He was saying that he wants
snatch, muscle up.
I put it to him. I was like, where do you draw the line?
What would you do if they said
legless rope climbs? He was like, I'd love it.
He was like, give us legless rope climbs and let us figure it out.
I was wondering where you stand on that.
Is there a line for you of
that would be too much
or are you like, just give us whatever?
Yeah, I'm a, I'm of a pretty similar, I'm of a like mind with him.
I think there does have to be a bit of a line because you don't want every single event to just be who's the least disabled.
Like you want there to be an expression of fitness beyond just like who has
the most party tricks.
So like,
that's,
that's kind of the line walk is like how much of it is fitness and how much
of it is just like the least disabled person is the one that ends up winning.
But yeah,
I mean,
I'm definitely usually on board of like more challenge is better and it's
more enjoyable and it's more enjoyable and
it's, it's cooler for the fans to see and yada, yada, yada.
Let's go.
Yeah. Awesome. Great question. Uh, pushing the boundaries. Uh, Casey,
I hope to run into you when you say you live in the middle of nowhere.
Where is that?
Uh, central Illinois.
All right. That's it. That's the middle of nowhere. All right, brother. Illinois. All right. That's it. That's the middle of nowhere.
All right, brother.
Illiopolis, Illinois.
Yep.
All right.
Thank you. You the man.
Keep it up.
And I think I'm going to see you in less than two weeks.
Cheers.
Let's go.
I hope so.
Yep.
Ladies and gentlemen, Casey Acree.
Yep. Ladies and gentlemen, Casey Acree. Thoughts, John Young from J.Y. Barbell. If you want to get strong, John Young can teach you how. What do you think? That's impressive, right?
Yeah, I mean, guys are free. You should see him do rope climbs. He can do rope climbs faster than Taylor.
I'm pretty good at road climbs like just i mean you'd be amazed at what some of the adaptive
athletes do it is it is really crazy um if you look up his profile it says he can run a 1635k
i don't know if he still can do that and he just ran cross country in high school but 1630 is
ridiculous that would beat everybody at the games in the individual yeah that's nuts i even if you if you look at his games it's like you know like he won
whatever he's basically never lost an event it's like everything is just like first first first
first first first the whole way in pretty much every competition he's done is that dude you
interviewed a challenge for him yeah he'd be like he'd be he'll push him but i think casey's just so dominant
that uh jabby that i interviewed his uh he got t-shirts made and stuff and his uh
because he has so his forearm down is missing on one arm and then his hand is fucked on his
other on his other arm is that is that a clinical term that's what the doctor said to his parents. Like, I've got bad news for you.
But his, so he always looks like he's doing that.
So that's his default.
So he got like t-shirts made, but like that's him.
And it's like Han Solo is his nickname.
And I think it's pretty cool.
Hey, I wonder how he does.
I wonder where his limitations are when he does the open.
I wonder how Casey ranks in the open just with all the dudes.
I bet you it's somewhere up in the mix.
Yeah.
I can't clean and jerk 305, so he's not going to be bad.
Dude, your muscle video today was crazy, by the way.
Crazy.
It was very impressive.
It was my mom's panties.
Behind the scenes fun.
Jessica Valenzuela, thank you.
And thank you for your service, Jessica.

classic
racism. Why don't you say something about fucking kangaroos
or whatever?
I just love it how you really are
treating like a monkey. It's not even like

Tell Jamie Simmons I said what's up behind the scenes. Okay, scenes okay i will oh you'll get fucking gold out of her yeah
yeah she i had her the other day and um i don't know what this says about me but in the last like
five minutes i was like man someone's gonna kill it with jamie when she's on i don't know i wasn't
disappointed with mine but i was like she like she's really, really open, like really good.
She's still back.
I can't believe I haven't met her yet.
Mike Sauer, for Pedro to get his lucky charms
back. Very nice of you.
Steve C...
Stacy Ciabot.
Is this a name or is this a real person?
No, I think that's genuine.
Ciabote?
Ciabote? Ciabote chiavote i don't get it well i don't get it just tyler's accent okay uh see he's allowed to throw rocks
he's close enough to home you're a pretty lady thank you with uh money thank you my favorite
kind pretty with money uh anthony tpa uh behind the scenes fun and beard dye oh shit when i uh was getting up to do this
my wife was like just keep an eye on the time like don't stay up past like 4 a.m or whatever
we're 40 minutes in and all we've done is spread out like you haven't been on a podcast yet
yeah uh wad zombie uh how many people would have to die for them to backfill taylor to the demo This one's going to run. Yeah.
Wadzombie,
how many people would have to die for them to backfill Taylor to the demo team?
Oh, okay. We discussed that. Thank you.
I've become obsessed with
who's on the demo team. There's no logic to it,
but I'm fucking obsessed with finding out.
Who is it? I have one
confirmed, and then I have one who
was asked and said no,
and then I have lots of like no no no no
victor hoffer is one of the guys yeah thanks for seeing my thunder there john that's great yeah
victor hoffer is one of the guys um annika greer i asked her she said she was asked and said no
um and then i had i thought brooke but i asked someone who would know and
they said no and then um i taught maddie stewart because she's over with jay and i think she asked
could she and she's she hasn't her back so that she'd be great she'd be great
but i'm just obsessed with it.
They typically keep demo team to people in America, don't they?
I'm trying to think of it.
Con Porter, James Newberg.
Oh, you mean Victor is weird.
2020.
Yeah, yeah.
2021.
We should do a super.
Go ahead.
Victor's like a weird person or Victor's a weird choice for the demo team or he's just a
weird motherfucker he's a gymnastics freak oh i wanted to know do they go to people who have
flights but you know are they like oh they probably have flights but let's just ask them
to keep there there there used to be some sort of like
logic to it based on your placement like it like it would like the
the runner-up at every semi semifinal would be asked or something.
Okay.
We should do a super limited run of cards
for those who make the demo team,
like Super Rare with Wad Zombie.
I like it.
Wad Zombie, get your cards now.
There should be one card with Taylor and the pig.
Just one.
And see if we can make it the most valuable card out there.
And is he underneath it?
It's up to him.
It's up to your mom.
Eric, why is behind the scenes fun?

see some shit i'm gonna i'm gonna try i'll tell you what something i'm gonna do i'm gonna try to
all the at the i'm gonna try to be with the bubble athletes every time.
So whoever gets cut, I'm going to try to be with them
and get that fucking train wreck when they get cut.
I'm going to try to be there and bring that to you.
And then the person who makes it right above the cut,
I'll try to do that every time.
I really hope.
It'll be good.
I really hope Bronislaw is on the cut line from 30 to from the top 20
and he has to go for it in the weightlifting event that would be really fun to see
john did a great job of getting the show back on the rails there it's not it's not outside the
realm of possibility especially with the 5k and the gymnastic test potentially coming prior to
and helen which i for some reason speculate he's
not going to do great on let me it'll be the last event to cut to or it's set up to be that way
the last event for the top 20 cut we talked about that on our show let me let me bring up a topic
to you maybe we can get to one topic today you uh we'll start with pedro here you guys chime in on
this i don't think that all these things
should be weighed equally.
People are like,
hey, if the 5K run is one of the first events,
it needs to be balanced out.
I disagree.
I disagree wholeheartedly.
I think running is its own fucking beast.
I think running is more than a cornerstone.
I think it's a bedrock of fitness.
I basically think that if you're not
one of the 20 fastest guys out there, fuck you. You shouldn't be the fittest person on the planet.
I don't think, I don't think we, we, I think running holds a more significance
in the decision of choosing the fittest person on the planet. You should be able to run and you
should be good at it and you should be fast at it and you should be proficient in it.
I think it carries more weight and I don't think it needs to be balanced out in the way that like other people might think it needs to be balanced out.
You want to take a shot at it, Pedro?
Agree or disagree?
I do.
We're the same.
Obviously.
That's what we'll let someone else who's going to fucking only talk for eight seconds before we unleash you on it.
Okay, go ahead, Pedro.
I don't know.
I kind of always had the thing of i don't know i can always have the
thing of like you know that uh what's the line like outrun the lifters and outlift the runners
and then like this is where i kind of fall on taylor's side of the cuts where it's like um
like you look at the week say that phrase again what did you say that went over my head say that
phrase i run the i run the lifters and outlift the runners so like run better than the lifters do but you're not going to run better than the runners do and
then lift better than the runners do but you're not going to lift better than the lifters do you
know you have those specialists who like oh he's definitely when they lifted an event but he bombed
the run or whatever um you want to be in the middle like the the panchic like this or the medeiros like
you know decent and everything um but then like you look at the games week as a you know like
that kind of bird's eye view of all the programming and it all makes sense when it's put together
but then obviously if you're if you have those cuts then you're not testing all of the people
on all of those things but then there is the argument of like well if
they're not good enough to hang until it gets to the entirety of the beast or whatever maybe
they're not just good enough to be there but i don't know like i just think i think if you could
have a freak at a 5k run who's shit with a barbell and they'll, you know, they'll be keeping someone out.
Who's like decent at running and great with a barbell or decent at running
and decent with a barbell who could be also decent at gymnastics.
And then that puts them in contention to be the fittest,
but they're missing out because there's some like lunatic who takes off
knowing that like,
Oh,
this could be an event win,
but like I'll bomb everything else.
Pedro.
I would argue that we've weeded the freaks out that there aren't any freaks at a 5k run left
in in the group uh go ahead uh mr self i i think you're missing something in the sense that
i would not be upset with the 5k prior to the cuts i don't think it would be ideal to have the 5k
and helen within the first round of cuts like within the first six workouts i also am highly
confident that we'll see running three times at the games this year at least three times
in three different events we already have two and you're not going to see a barbell snatch three times.
You're not going to see a ring muscle-up three times.
You're not going to see a clean and jerk three times with the barbell.
So running is weighted differently.
You run a fuck ton at the game.
Right.
But Helen is different running than 5K, just like clean and jerk is different than snatch.
But, yes, but here's what i'm saying is
they're going to run three times they're not going to do a single same implement same exercise
barbell movement three times they're not going to do you're you're suggesting that barbell movements
different barbell movements have a are more significant in their difference than different time domains of running.
I think a 400-meter run is way different than a 5K, way more different than a 5K than a snatch is to a clean and jerk.
A one rep max squat snatch is way different than a fucking – than grace.
Okay.
Let me bridge the gap here because you're making your own argument, but it depends
on the scale that you look at. So if you look at the games as a whole and they run four times,
you're right. Running is more important. And I don't disagree with you that we test for it,
but it matters in how you implement it when it's around cuts. So to me, if you implement the 5k
before cuts, but don't test strength, you're hurting
yourself. Yes, I agree with you. You're right. We, you should be good at running, but like maybe
Helen's more appropriate than the 5k before the cuts. Or do these, or do these three single
modality events all prior to the cuts rather than on Saturday. But I like the way it's set up at
this point where seemingly the
first six events are going to be mixed modality CrossFit to a degree, or at least that's kind of
the assumption. And on Saturday, you're going to have three events. You're going to have a 5k run
and unannounced gymnastic tests potentially, and the weightlifting total, which I think
before you cut to third to 20, which I think is cool as fuck.
We know the time we know that
sorry i mean uh we know the um days of the events already uh the total well we know two nine which
is presumably saturday night which would make sense and the 5k is event seven which presumably
be saturday morning okay outside the first both those outside the first cut yes and so i'm
assuming that the gymnastic test is going to be sandwiched in between.
And I think that would be probably one of the coolest things to happen at the games.
A single modality day prior to the cut to 20 and balanced in that manner is awesome.
Especially if the first six events are mixed modality, pretty typical cross.
Usually people's complaint is like, or people who get cut, their complaint is,
well, it's annoying because they never is like people who get cut their complaint is well it's
annoying because they didn't they never tested x before i got caught yeah and now nobody if it's
mixed with that modality day one and if it's uh like if it's classic crossfit day one and if you
got the the single modality test on day two nobody can say that now nobody can crib and complain
afterwards they're gonna they're gonna cut the bottom 10 after six CrossFit workouts and say,
look, we gave you six chances to show that you were fit enough to be here,
and you weren't.
Now they're going to take 20 to 30 and say, you're still really fit,
but you've got to be really strong, you've got to be a great runner,
and you've got to have a gymnastic capacity.
And if you don't, sorry, you're not good enough for Sunday.
And I'm cool with that. I'm okay with that.
John Young, your turn.
Go ahead.
A little bit biased towards one way because they're always going to be,
if they're all CrossFit events,
they're not going to 100% be balanced if they're all CrossFit events.
John, hold on, hold on, hold on.
John, how about that mic to your right?
Is that working?
This is the one I'm trying to use.
Put it to your mouth. Teddy told me to set it up this way. Bring it closer to your right is that working this is the one i'm trying to use put it to your
teddy told me to set it up this way bring it closer to your mouth closer closer like this
in the talk okay can you hear me now oh that's way better oh okay john what do you what do you
think about that what are what do you think uh the three of them? I feel like they've set up a pretty good stage,
and everyone seems pretty happy.
Are you happy with that?
Yeah.
I mean, like Taylor said, they cut the first 10,
and you're just not good enough after six CrossFit tests.
That's how it should be.
And then you have three monostructural events.
Single modality.
Single modality, yeah, single modality events. And I
honestly think it's going to allow for a huge shakeup having single modality events too,
because it's hard to be good at all three of those. If they're 100% biased towards, you know,
gymnastics running or weightlifting. I think, I think that a lot of shake-up is going to happen
and that's going to be really cool to see the balanced out and whoever makes the top 20 i think
it'll be the right top 20 and opening up saturday on a 5k is gonna fuck people up you run a 5k pr
you're fucked up um uh judy reed uh my cousin miso easy me so easy
my cousin me so easy and i are so happy to hear this news about behind the scenes
you go have a happy ending on us thank you is it worse than when we when we do the accent, or is it worse when we make others do the accent?
Me so easy.
God, the people on here are great.
Barbell Spin, does Taylor still hate the cuts?
I don't hate the cuts.
I just think that call them what they are.
Your budget's fucked, and so you got to make cuts.
Don't say it's for the betterment of the athletes and for the games.
Cause I just don't buy that.
I think there's a pretty balanced argument on both sides for it being good
and bad for the games.
But if you don't have the fucking budget,
you got to do it.
So just call it what it is.
And then everybody's like,
well,
can't argue with that.
I agree with that.
I hate it when they say it's for the professionalism of the sport.
Yeah, get fucked.
Wrong.
I'm more than happy with the cuts for whatever the fucking reason.
I don't care what the reason is.
I don't want to see the ass heats.
But you want to talk to him for behind the scenes?
Yeah, I want to see them.
Come on, bro.
Yeah, thank you. If you don't care about the early heats, you can't play Heat 1 him for behind the scenes. Yeah, I want to see them. Come on, bro. Yeah, thank you.
If you don't care about the early heats, you can't play Heat 1.
That's the rule.
Right.
Yes.
That's a very good point.

I promise there will be some crossfit nerd out there it's probably one of us in the group that's going to have every single
5k from masters adaptive all individuals all in one sheet yeah it didn't happen did that for the
swim rinse repeat last year didn't he so yeah this is this is facts right here oh i'll wait go
ahead go ahead go ahead bring it up go ahead uh seven likes the cut so he can film them crying
that's true that's true uh for being um all up in colton's biz thank you yeah i'm gonna be all up in
his biz seven how brave are you gonna be whenever people do get cut are you gonna go interview them
after yeah well i'll feel i'll feel everyone out but i mean those were the moments with josh bridges how brave are you going to be whenever people do get cut? Are you going to go interview them after?
Yeah.
Well,
I'll feel,
I'll feel everyone out,
but I mean,
those were the moments with Josh bridges,
those semifinals,
all that stuff.
When rich was going into the final day and his shit was all fucking ass backwards,
hanging out with all those things were the best part.
Matt Fraser,
barfing in the bushes and scum,
Scott Pan chick talking shit to him.
Yeah.
I'll, i'll hopefully
i'll build relationships with them at up to that point to where they're like they realize the value
of me being with them you know and the thing is cool thing about the behind the scenes is
if if um for some reason i walk up to taylor and his athlete and they're in a bad situation and
taylor puts his hand up on the camera and goes, dude, do you not have any fucking self-respect?
I mean,
that's a good shot for the behind the scenes.
No,
I think you get an all up in it is good for everything.
Right.
Probably good for Michelle.
Yeah.
I think it's good for everyone.
Do you know,
like you ever get pictures of yourself that are like when,
when you didn't know you were getting your picture taken?
Yeah. Like those are generally my favorite pictures of myself that sounds and so it's like
well follow me follow me here so it's like nsa we always so like it's generally kind of see all these videos yeah candid candid. So it's like we see all these videos every day.
Everybody's every training camp posts videos all the time.
And it's like they know the cameras on them.
So they're acting a certain way.
And yeah, they know the cameras on them with you, Savan.
But it's like they're more in a moment where they don't really give a shit.
Like they're just being themselves.
And those are the moments.
Yeah, it's authenticity. And those are the moments yeah it's authenticity and those
are the moments that we feel like we really get to know the athletes and without that like i feel
like that's what's been missing from the sport for forever yeah it's like we've seen more of
the athletes in the past three years probably than ever because of youtube but it's like we
don't know them that it just seems fake yeah it's trash the content has been fucking booty so i'm
pumped the thing as well is
you know the way like oh will i you know will you be approaching people or stuff you're probably in
a unique position now because people have seen more of you in the last three years as well as
seeing where the athletes were when you were doing this originally you could have a rookie coming to
the games who might never have seen behind the scenes and who might not know who you are whereas
now you have athletes who are qualifying for the first time who have either been on your show or know someone who has
or have seen you on here or on instagram or whatever and will recognize you when you approach
rather than being like who the fuck is this guy with the camera and why is he coming over to me
or whatever like people will know there's you know there's a prior relationship with a lot of people
and then a prior knowledge from other people.
It's easy.
It'll be easy. It's going to be a blast.
Rambler, Savant, will you
be filming with your Sony? I'll be taking two Sony
cameras.
I'll have two Sonys with me at all times.
I bought a Sony camera for myself.
It's probably less impressive.
This will be like a you versus the guy
she tells you not to worry about
if you lift up yours.
I love Pedro.
Hey, what is that, Pedro?
What kind of camera did you get?
A ZV-1.
There's a new version of it,
but I couldn't afford the new version.
So I got, and look, it does this, look.
Are you coming?
Yeah.
And you have a media pass
through Coffee, Pods, and Wads?
Yeah.
And are you shooting for anyone?
Myself. I'm covering teens for Be Friendly, and are you shooting for anyone uh myself and then i'm covering teens for be friendly um and i'm shooting for myself um i'm going to my the first thing i
film at this will be at hito's house does that have interchangeable lenses i was looking up
lenses earlier on and then i saw the price and i was like i'm probably okay with i'll bring you
something i'll bring you something listen to me does that lens come off how would i check that oh fuck okay let's uh talk tomorrow for sure tomorrow morning
when i wait after i do my podcast let's talk let's facetime okay cool and and we'll figure
some shit out yeah okay good um jenny sock for being all up in colton's biz thank you uh
and thank you by the way thank you the only, Jan, Jan. And thank you, by the way.

Oh, good.
Okay.
Caleb, I'm just going through them.
If you see anyone ripping on John that didn't pay, feel free to pull it up. But i'm just going through them if you see anyone ripping on john
that didn't pay feel free to pull it up but i'm just going to the money ones um fergie show 399
for seven and one for thumb thank you uh tommy rodriguez behind the scenes beer fun thank you
i don't know if there's time to drink beer but i use that to order bacon to my room at 3 30 in the
morning does that have a running total of how many in-jokes?
Like that if someone was watching the show for the first time,
wouldn't know what Tom was,
wouldn't know why everyone was beating the shit out of John
in the comments, wouldn't know.
Like, does that even keep a list of like...
If anybody does, why zombie has it?
I have a question.
Go ahead.
Do you think it's going to be challenging for you
to do your job now more than
before that so many people know who you are and they're going to be you're stressing me out you're
stressing me the fuck out dude i'm so no it's going to be as easy it's going to be fine it's
going to be great i think it's going to be easier just wear a fucking hoodie you put a mask on
double i'm coming michael jackson they try to kick you
out of the venue you'd be like you know who i am a prince no i i i think i will be so busy it won't
even i and i'll be so busy and i'll be in areas where there aren't people i'll just be with
athletes yeah i think it'll be chill uh more dollars for beer fun uh Natalie. Thank you.
Alexandra Berry.
Is that a real name? Alexandra Berry?
No joke there? That sounds like a
porn name, but... If it was like
Alexandra Berry it in my ass or something,
yeah, then it's probably...
Austin Hartman. I'm a
Navy man and I love you boys. Best in the space sorry pedro no that's
it's good because pedro's here okay i know uh i i i i want to talk about the total but i just
want to say i want to say something about tia toomey real quick um if you can you pull up that
can we just look at her account real quick let's just pay homage to what a incredible mover she is um look at this shot
of her running by the way whoever shot that's brilliant but then i also wanted you to show you
her uh burpee burpee box jumps um look at this this is such a cool shot
is there music in this?
Is that why?
Dude, she's already getting at it.
Hey.
Baby, are we breastfeeding?
What a weird opening to a comment from... Baby, are we breastfeeding?
Let's get some more support.
It hurts me to see them milk bags jumping.
What are you talking about?
What the fuck is
that dude talking about what the fuck is that directed to the child is it like baby as in like
hey are we breastfeeding dude leave those milk bags alone they're fine those milk bag anyway
she talks like that period Period. I do.
I read it in your accent, Tyler.
Baby, are we breastfeeding?
See them milk bags jumping.
And speaking of milk bags,
this is why she's the champ.
Look at this.
This is nuts right here.
Yeah, she's uh isn't she the alternate for that team like if something happens to taylor andrea is that true yeah i'm like 99 sure that's true
dude that comment was unreal even taylor self says it is a little too much for you even taylor that was way too much
for me that's crazy uh okay pool boy uh don't act like uh you assholes don't laugh your asses
off at comments like that yeah we're just pretending to be civilized leave us alone
uh okay uh tia to me congrats you uh looking uh amazing okay um the total the total the total the total of john
was trying to explain something in chat today about the total went completely over my head
john talking about the total are we excited about it it's an olympic lifting total is that the um
is that the normal crossfit total and what is what are the what are the movements for the total
olympic weightlifting total it's just the snatch and the clean and jerk.
So just two?
Mm-hmm.
And in a usual Olympic lifting meet, you get three attempts,
and they only get two attempts, which is a little bit upsetting.
But, I mean, I get how you have to do that for time purposes.
But, yeah, just get two attempts at the snatch,
and then after the snatch is concluded,
they'll get two attempts at the clean and jerk.
I assume that's how it'll go.
What I'm curious is if they have to stay with the weight that they have selected as what they want to try.
Or if it'll just be a running to up barbell, like 225s in the bar, and then it goes to 235, and then it goes to 245.
And you just hop up if you want to go.
And you get two attempts.
I want to know how they work that.
Because in a traditional Olympic lifting meet, like say Taylor,
this is what I'm trying to say in the chat.
Say Taylor is snatching.
He says 275.
I can say 280 because I know he's doing 275. And then Taylor could say, okay, I'll go 285.
because I know he's doing 275.
And then Taylor could say, okay, I'll go 285.
And then the first one that says that budges will be the first one that lifts.
So that's a part of the game of Olympic lifting
is you get to see what everybody's doing
and then you get to say, I'll just do more than that.
Or you can say, I'll be conservative and hit all my lifts
because obviously if you're doing more than that,
you're going for a lift that you might not make.
Or say you hit one snatch and then you missed your second snatch.
Now on the clean and jerk, you have to go for it
and try to basically PR to have a good total.
Allegedly, it's also not just two attempts,
but two 20-second windows at each lift.
So you have a 20-second window for a snatch,
and then I'm assuming the way it's going to work out
is it'll probably be similar to like the 2017 1RM snatch,
lane one lifts, lane two lifts, lane three lifts.
I haven't thought too deeply on it,
but I did read that it was a 20-second window. So i'm assuming if you go for your first attempt and you miss it you can try it again within that 20 seconds i hope it's not like that i really hope
it's not like that isn't it like always like that though a part of olympic lifting is execution
what problem do i have with it it's not olympic lifting if it's what i get i get to
try it three times if i miss the first time it's a part of the it's a part of the pressure the
pressure is a part of it you get to walk on there you chalk your hands up everybody's quiet and then
you go and try to you have one chance to make you do you want like one platform in the middle of the
floor one platform and then it just goes up continuously.
If you want to jump, you can.
If you want to do it, you can try.
They did it in Dubai, I think, last year.
All the athletes were just on one side, everybody.
Then they had a weight out there.
If you want to try it, you can.
It counts as one of your attempts.
If you don't, you can't go back.
The weight goes up.
The weight always goes up.
Here's the problem with that.
What happens when half the field
misses both attempts? Are you going to have
20 zeros?
Yes. No.
Fuck out of here.
Let me ask some questions
before you go on.
John, let me ask you some questions.
What event number is this?
Do we know?
Nine.
Okay.
So this is after one round of cuts.
So how many athletes will be – this is 30 men and 30 women?
Mm-hmm.
And what makes you think – do we know anything else about it?
Are you just speculating that it's two 20-second windows?
Like where are you getting this information from? Is this on the site? information from is this on the site yeah it's on the site it's on the main site is it or someone read it to me from morning chalk up your favorite news service
um i saw it on the app across oh the 20 second window no the two attempts to you have two
attempts you have 20 second window to complete your yeah, yeah. Okay, so that's correct.
They have a 20-second window.
That means if they miss, they can go again in the 20 seconds.
Guaranteed.
Yeah, it's going to be that once the bar is off the ground before zero.
You're telling me it's going to take you 20 seconds to hit a one-arm snatch?
You don't need a 20-fucking-second window for that.
The reason they put that in there is because they're going to let you,
if you miss it, you have the rest of the 20-second remainder.
And I think if it's the final event before the cut to 20, that's appropriate
because the worst thing they could have happen is half the field
only gets one lift out of the four.
If you're doing that, then you're trying to – like that's on you.
You're trying too heavy of a weight.
That's a part of Olympic lifting. Right, right. I hear what you're saying. I hear what you're trying to, like, that's on you. You're trying too heavy of a weight. That's a part of Olympic lifting.
Right, right. I hear what you're saying.
I hear what you're saying.
But why Savon gets a boner and jizzes his pants at the cuts,
this is why they're going to allow people to take more attempts in a 20-second window.
How exciting is it to see somebody attempt it and fail
and then go back and fucking hit it?
The crowd goes nuts.
Yeah, that's always the best part at, like, semifinals when they have these,
you know, like, Torian or whatever that when they have that rotating floor you're like
someone missing you're like oh no and then they get it and it's like oh and i think the only thing
like i like john's idea with the single platform and my only problem with it is probably fixed by
last year's sandbag thing is i was like god it's gonna take a while though if you didn't and i was
like well it still won't take as long as the sandbags did and everybody fucking loved that rambler this is
same bags are different people can take multiple attempts in a 20 second window and they've been
doing it for the past 10 years with these two lifts in crossfit can i let me talk about 20 seconds
yeah let me just make sure i understand this correctly so um you'll be out there you'll out there. Everyone be out there on their platform. They they you think that they're going to choose a weight for themselves. And and they'll be like 10 people going at a time and they'll say lift and then you'll have 20 seconds to do to get it. But but whatever happens first, you're done. Either run out of 20 seconds or two attempts.
No, no, no, no.
You have two 20-second window.
The first attempt is the first 20-second window.
You have the 20 seconds to hit that first attempt.
That's not how I'm reading that.
Are you guys agreeing with John?
Yes.
Yeah, there's no way that they make you lift twice in 20 seconds.
Not that they make you lift twice in 20 seconds not that they make
you lift athletes will have two attempts at each lift time cap 20 seconds per yeah no savannah you
mean that like say i go say if the five of us are doing it i have 20 seconds and i miss but then i
get a second opportunity at that same lift in after it rotates to everyone else but it means
i have i have two attempts at my snatch at weight one and then
at weight two if i make weight one or whatever and then after that i'll have two attempts at
my clean and jerk 20 second to 20 second attempts not to 20 second attempts at each
attempt if you know what i mean wow wording is always the wording is always terrible in
their workout descriptions and and so and so you only get one chance to to do a
no you get a 20 second one 20 second window but that's what i mean and then you're done so let's
say you successfully lift that you're done that's your number no you get another 20 second window
at that exercise so look there are four until you fail you can keep going up until you fail no
there are twice 20 second listen guys i'm gonna lift 60
kilos and i hit that and then i'm gonna go right fuck it i'm going for 130 kilos because i'm a
psychopath but i hit the first one i got two i got a 20 second i can lift it fucking 10 times
in that 20 seconds if i need to then once my 20 seconds over if i hit it then later on when it
goes to everyone else i assume i'll have second 20-second window to do my second lift at the snatch.
So everyone's going to go for a safe lift,
and then you have to figure out how much you want to risk.
Or less safe than if it was three.
Because if it's three, it's like, right, I can definitely do this one.
Any day of the week, I can do this one.
Then I'll do my, yeah, that would be like,
I'd be really happy if I got that one.
And then I'll do my like chuck it and see third one. But obviously you don't get that. Yeah, three lifts would be like i'd be really happy if i got that one and then i'll do my like chuck it and see third one but obviously you don't get that yeah three lifts would be better hey can
you go down and wait if you miss your first lift i doubt it i'm sure i'm sure they make their call
on the field so it's like if you miss like if you do a 335 pound clean and you miss it um i'm sure
they'll they'll look at you and be like okay what's your second lift like you have to be ready either you're gonna do 335 again or you're gonna be like fuck it and go up to 350
or whatever shit taylor would you on so like in a regular weightlifting meet you have the three lifts
you have your first one is always a safe one the second one is usually like pretty, like it's like a 90%, something
you're comfortable with, but might be a strain. And then your, your last one's usually like
pushing for a PR or something that that's hard for you. Are you going to open on your first lift
somewhere between what you would normally safely open at and your second lift? Or are you just
definitely going to do that, that safest lift? I safest lift? I think your opening in this format is somewhere between a safe
and your 90% – it's probably your second lift is probably a little more
than 90% in this scenario, I would think,
airing closer towards the weight of that second attempt.
So if you're just too safe, I don't think you can
be too safe. I mean, I don't think, I think you can be too safe. It doesn't help you. No, no. I
think being cautious. Because if you're trying to PR or get something close to your one rep max,
you have to like, your opener needs to be sort of heavy. Two lifts is quite a bit different than
three. So I would expect them to probably carry the trend
i remember somebody was saying in north america east and west they had barbells to snatch by the
floor right before the events so you do your first attempt just before you go on basically
yeah i think i think athletes will have the opportunity to stay warm and then go out there
and hit something that makes you a little nervous like you know you know you've hit it before you know you can hit it but it's not like oh this is a lock right and this is what savon this is what um john was talking
about in our thread earlier with the drama of the of the warm-up area is if you're trying to stay
warm and you're trying to stay close to hit that one rep you're like that warm-up area like changes
based on who hits their lift, the timing of
everything, um, how you feel, how long it's been since you last lifted.
Like there's a ton of talking back and forth with coaches.
And so the warmup area is always full of drama.
If you watch like actual weightlifting meets.
And I'll be bringing that to you with the behind the scenes.
Hey, so this also, if, um, if, if, if we're assuming this is Saturday, it will be the third event Saturday, which we could also then guess that it's going to be in the evening and it's going to be inside the Coliseum.
So this will be the final event.
And then also, if we go back to what Taylor said earlier, this will be in the morning.
They will have had the 5K, and Taylor does believe that that will be – recovery will be a huge part.
Any thoughts on what that middle event will be in between the –
The gymnastics event.
5K, okay.
And what does that mean?
That means muscle-ups, handstand walks, pistols.
Moving your body around an implement rather than moving a loaded implement
around your body or rather than something cyclical.
So like weightlifting is anytime you add an external load to yourself yourself and in this instance it's the snatch and the clean and jerk
in the form of a barbell monostructural is any instance we're performing a repetitive cyclical
movement for a long duration of time like a run or a row or a swim and gymnastics is
moving your body around some other implement have you ever been boning your fiance and you whispered that whole thing
that should be on her ear?
Gymnastics.
Yeah.
Technically it's gymnastics.
I'm moving myself around.
This monostructural event we're doing.
I mean,
that was so sexy.
You,
you know,
some shit.
Uh,
uh,
that will be,
uh, 30 women, 30 men, men uh doing this in uh it looks like most of us are happy
with what we know but john is is is getting anxious and doesn't even actually think that
we should be calling olympic lifting because of the protocols put in place
true i just if you're going to if you're going to say it's like an Olympic lifting total
I think it would be more fun
to operate
as an Olympic lifting meet
so they all have to wear a singlet
yeah make them all wear singlets
nevermind
I'm in now
like the strategy
to Olympic lifting
is
play so much of a role.
As far as you get to see what everybody's going to do.
And then you get to see,
you get to say,
I'm going to try a little bit more than that,
or this is too much.
And it makes people miss like what Taylor said.
It's going to make people miss,
but that's a part of it.
You shouldn't do weights that you think you're going to miss.
And I hate that. It's only two lifts lifts it's harder to do with two lifts i bet that we see way more
conservative snatches and people will go for it on the clean and jerk like you want to hit both of
your snatches and then the clean and jerk you hit your first clean and jerk and then you can go for it i bet i bet we see a lot of that prince like a hopper hit 305 right at the semifinals i almost bet money he's gonna go 275
and then 295 on the snatch even though he hit 305 at semifinals i bet he goes 275 295 and then
the clean and jerk you know that first one will be 345 and then you'll make a call
you think it's gonna be anticlimactic is what you're saying i disagree if he can
305 if he can 305 in three attempts after an 800 meter run i would assume 305 is relatively safe
staying warm on a barbell right before you take the floor for a second attempt and i don't think
for someone who wants to podium,
which in this case, I know Jason does.
He's been working his fucking ass off.
There's really no point in the weekend where you are like,
ooh, I better play it safe here.
He's thinking about maximizing his potential in points in every event,
and I don't think that a 295 snatch is maximizing his potential in points.
You maximize it in the clean and jerk, though.
So say he hits 285, and then he goes for 300 or 305,
and then he misses that.
His snatch ends up being 285.
Well, I don't think you risk that, and then you go for it in the clean and jerk.
What camp is Jason at?
Is that Jason?
Is that me?
The safe.
Have you ever seen matt not put the bar
matt was conservative in 2017 he snatched 291 you're telling me that's not conservative dude
didn't he not go right after 300 did he not go for 300 no go back and. He went for 297, which after Fikowski hit 300.
So some dude right next
to you hits 300, all-time best.
You are the fittest man in the world, known
for Olympic lifting. You snatched 350
and he went 297 and he missed
it. He was concerned.
Your sunburn's getting worse.
Hey, listen. Scott Perkins, you
owe John an apology. He just fucking
bitch-slapped Taylor.
Did he? Let's see what Jason apology. He just fucking bitch slapped Taylor. Did he?
Let's see what Jason does.
Okay, fine.
Fair enough.
If they're going to be able to see the other people's lifts and adjust accordingly, we are going to see some...
Oh, shit.
We're going to be able to see some good stuff
don i want to apologize on behalf of the host of the show you deserve better treatment
you're the host yeah is this so funny though that someone someone can like me to get worked up i i
don't know when it's happening and then i end up no fuck it it's good you're fine you're fine it's
so funny how someone can get worked up and like articulate really well,
like what their point is and make really good points.
And then just be like immediately attacked in comments.
Totally unrelated.
How dare you be passionate about the show?
Get back in there.
Do we see?
Oh,
so I have a good question.
And then I want to,
another question on here.
Do we see heavy
snatches heavier snatches than semi-finals that's a great great question and then the other thing is
this um what will the uh rules be that basically you don't have to lock out but you have to always
be moving forward up if you could come back down you know if you snatch and you don't lock out
i don't think they're as rigid what like there's no if you have no if you snatch and you don't lock out. I don't think they're as rigid. What?
Like there's no.
If you have a buckling.
Right.
And weightlifting, it's a no rep immediately.
If an elbow.
Yeah, but this is CrossFit.
No rep.
I don't think they're going to call that.
If they're not going to call that, then I think give them the 22nd window too.
But if you go the wrong direction, you're not going to get the lift.
If you snatch and come down and then back up, you're not getting it.
Oh, fuck it.
They can bounce it off the head.
I mean. I don't think are strong enough to do that.
What was her name?
Lauren Brooks.
She put a knee on the floor and then stood it back up.
I don't know.
I think we're more rigid than we used to be.
Right.
I don't either, but I think easy stuff like arm bend at the top,
I don't think they're going to call that.
I think you're right, Savan. If you like a regression in the motion you're probably done like too much i don't
know that that's a hard rule to put a rule on i don't think that's been the rules in the past
listen to this fucking blow hard if you go the wrong who's this this must be really if i see
an elbow press out i turn it off yeah because pressing out 365 is so terrible to watch.
I don't think we're going to see, like, remember,
was it Maddie Rogers who had a lift turned down?
You know, like she walked around in a circle on the platform.
I don't think you're going to see something like that.
I mean, that's going to, everyone's going to lose their shit
if something like that happens at the games.
People are going to love it.
So I don't think, like that you know the last like in a
fucking jerk or whatever where someone's like just
it's not it's almost you know it's just
locking out and the crowd is going wild
I don't think when that happens the judge is going to say
no sorry that's a no rep
Get with the programming the strategy in Olympic lifting is
wild the coaches are the real strategy experts
in the back and the athletes just have to trust their coaches is that true yeah remember
2020 games there was a lot of that and it was really exciting to watch because they were right
beside the athletes and you had what basically what you're gonna have with bds you had that like
camera on the coach camera on the athlete because they were so close to each other yeah yeah that
was cool i don't like it'll be really it'll be really interesting to
see like how the floor is in oriented and then like because usually at like the olympics and
stuff they have like a caller calling back to the coach telling the person who to lit how to lift
and it's like you're probably only going to have your coach back there with you
so it's like there might not be enough communication in the team. You know what I'm saying? Taylor, you don't like
the coach
doing the thinking for the athlete?
No, that puts a lot of pressure on me, and I've
never been to the CrossFit Games to coach an athlete
there, dude.
Fuck no, dude. Put it on the athlete.
Honest, Taylor. John is
dead on, Stephen
Plyler.
He's a purist. He's showing his purest ways.
Yolanda Jennings, Australia.
Behind the scenes fun. 5am, Paper Street
Coffee, carpool with Dave.
Yeah, he's usually pretty good
at swinging by and getting coffee.
We'll see how he does.
That's more than she gave for my Irish
impression earlier on. That's kind of insulting.
That's more? More than she gave?
I think it is, yeah.
Bullshit.
Okay.
Jamie Latimer,
this shouldn't be a strategy thing. This is just
silly.
That's another thing.
That's part of Olympic lifting.
I lean
towards what she's saying.
Who gives a fuck? it's the crossfit
games all right um taylor wants no one telling him what to do uh that is absolutely the uh the truth
um the the uh they got g-shock as a sponsor all the athletes get a g-shock
g-shock watch um that's a pretty cool thing. Have we ever had a watch sponsor
for the Grotsby games?
What's it called? Whoop?
Did Whoop sponsor?
Is Whoop a watch?
Okay, not a watch.
A cock ring.
Anyone with a Media Pass gets
a G-Shock as well.
No way.
No, but I'm starting to say it in the hope that...
Oh, fuck you, dude. I was gonna take yours.
I don't even like watches
and I got stoked.
Does Casio own G-Shock?
Is Casio also the people who did the Iron Man
watch? That's a bad boy, dude. I keep
this fucker on. I think so.
Timex. Oh, Timex did the
Iron Man?
Dude, I got the original G-Shock shock You can't even see the letters on mine
It's so faded
I love this watch
I hope I can steal Michelle's
Oh her
Maybe she'll just give it to you
Hopefully it's not pink if it is I don't want it
Um
And do we need to talk about Helen at all?
These are the three workouts we know, right?
We know Helen, we know the total, and we know the run.
Do we know any details about the run by any chance?
We just know it's probably going to be off-road.
I don't think there's anything different about it.
There's not going to be a weight vest.
Yeah, it would have been sponsored by Cole Rook.
They're not going to make him run it twice.
There's no need to. You don't think there's going to be a weight vest. Yeah, it would have been sponsored by GoRuck. They're not going to make him run it twice. There's no need to.
It's the most frequently-
You don't think there's going to be a ruck on?
It would be sponsored by GoRuck, not RP Strength or whoever.
Yeah, no, I do not think there's going to be a GoRuck.
I 100% think it's simply a 5K for time.
It's the most frequently programmed workout on main site.
It would have been programmed by Army or it would have been sponsored by Army or GoRuck
if it was a weighted vest or a ruck, surely?
Do you guys think that means there will be a go-ruck in other events like Helen?
Maybe a set-up from the ring.
I don't think.
Because it has to be there.
They're a sponsor.
I think we will see a go-ruck,
and I don't necessarily think it will be in the event with Helen,
although it's a it's a
definitely a strong possibility i'd i guess i'm hoping and would rather see an event like
battlegrounds where they have to climb a rope with it um obstacle course yeah do some cool
shit with the ruck that'd be dope i i did i i think that there's going to be something in that
5k and here's why i remember back in the day being in meetings where there were games workouts being talked
about. And I was always wondering, Hey,
why don't you ever do the mile run the time trial for the athletes,
the mile time trial. And I can't remember the reason they gave.
So I don't want to like, I, I would fuck it up if I told you why,
but I don't think that they want to do events at the games that are just straight um
like 5k is a common marathon event right like like you go to the marathon and there's like
5k for the kids and then a 10k and then the turkey trot and then the half marathon and
yeah why are they doing the way i think you are right i think you're in the opposite direction i think they've changed the winds change
directions on this i think they're trying to grab more community and more people out there who do
normal events like that when they when they make that post and they're like we're gonna have an
event that everyone at your affiliate can do like helen or like last year's swim and ski where
everyone can do it in
some form or fashion although that was kind of they botched that a little bit um nobody's taking
a fucking skier to a pool but everyone can run a 5k assuming you have legs and if you don't ski a
5k or row a 5k or if you don't have arms you I guess you can run if you don't have arms
we just talked to some guy that's a really good runner sorry hey well then then i agree with you
we're gonna see some crazy shit we're gonna see some people who uh let the wheels fall off the
bus on that one yeah i think and that's exactly what i think it's meant to do and i think that's
fun if you if you can film an entire race especially one like a 5k it's not slow like
you are running fucking hard and i hope you see people getting cut off.
Like I love to cut people off and running workouts.
Of course you do.
It just deflates them.
You fucking cut them off on a corner and they're out of breath and you don't
even, you hold your breath for 10 seconds.
They don't hear you breathing.
They're like, fuck, I'm done.
Can I tell you guys a 5k story?
Please.
It'll be short.
Okay. I went, uh, this is my very first competition tyler was here it was at the fittest experience and it was a five i ran the
same 5k uh well you were in a different division than me so it doesn't matter but anyway um
my game plan was i'm gonna run slow in that mile. And then everybody that takes it out hot, I'll pass you. Right. And I'll just keep my steady, slow pace. Cause I'm not going to just
burn it down. So I ran at my pace for that first mile. And when I looked up to start passing people,
there was nobody there. Same thing. Same thing. And I was 72nd out of 75 people.
And I was 72nd out of 75 people.
And it was – I didn't see a person until two miles.
Like one person.
They were all just gone. The big thing about running is you don't ever want someone else to dictate your pace outside of your capacity.
So you don't ever want to allow a competitor to push you past what you're capable of because then you've fucked your own ability to maximize points on the other hand it's always easy to stay with someone than it is to
catch someone always yeah so so at crash it was funny at crash i was like i'm just gonna run
really really hard for the first mile and i did it completely opposite who the fuck is this guy
shut up taylor who the fuck are you passing? He's really good at running.
And it went way better.
I was like middle of the path just because even though I faded in the last mile,
but just because I was around people, I tried to hang on to them.
Are you on a computer, John?
Yes.
He sounds a lot better now.
Leave him alone.
Do you think this would be a six-peat?
He only sounds better because he got closer to his computer john do you do you see on your computer screen uh something
looks like a gear and it says settings yep can you click on that okay and then there should be
on the left there should be a little button there that says audio uh-huh and then it should say mic and then speaker what's your mic say yeti stereo microphone
stereo yeti stereo microphone it's the will you tap will you tap that mic will you go like that
that is the absolute worst microphone in the history is that what you have too taylor
i have one yeah i have a Yeti.
We have the same one.
Let me see it here.
Is it better now?
No, there is some.
You're getting all room.
Yeah, it's crazy.
We're going to figure it out.
Lucky Camera Straps, are there any gymnastics events that are as standard as Olympic total or five-kilometer run?
What could it be?
Oh, that's it.
I'm stoked about this because I don't think there are.
Like we have Fran, we have the 5K, we have different stuff like that,
but there's not like a gymnastics test besides 30 ring muscle-ups.
Or am I wrong?
You could do a ton of gymnastics stuff.
But there's not a standard no they
right there's not a uh man i'd like to see something with an l set
i would be so boring though and so fast get the fuck out of here an l sit in a workout is one of
the most destructive things it is 100 i'm not arguing that it's just i don't care to watch
it that's something you should give me a highlight of you know what i mean you want to do highlights
just tell me who's the best one this is why i think it's going to be two of two gymnastics events
because if like if you do 30 ring muscle-ups for time it's all pulling but then like you don't
really test like a handstand type of gymnastics right there's no pressing gymnastic they don't well i guess you guys are thinking you
guys are thinking in a box because you're you're assuming that it just has to be one exercise for
the benchmark when for the crossfit weightlifting total they're doing two different exercises they
could do i just said two oh yeah well i thought you said they have to do two different workouts
no no no they're they're going to test two different things for the same in the same workout or three it could be three yeah yeah do you mean like a like a pulling or whatever and
then an isometric kind of thing as well yeah yeah because there's more to like 30 ring muscle-ups
doesn't really give the whole statement of like gymnastics to me i would like a gauntlet or a
combine but just a whole bunch of setup skills i mean the way if you're what's
that look like what's that look like what do you mean what's that look like i like you do ring
muscle ups and then handstand push-ups and pistols it's just a whole bunch of set of gymnastics and
then you do it for time but if it's set up that like things that everybody can do right like the
run in the olympic total i wonder if it's not something just like a weighted pull-up or something
like that,
like a weighted chest to bar or nomage back to the day.
John,
what if you turn your mic around?
What if you,
that's a good idea.
Wads on me.
What if you spin it around?
I have done this.
Different people are telling me different.
Oh my God.
It's way better.
No,
I'm only joking.
It's not the mic seven.
It's the room he's in.
It's the echo.
He's in a giant bathtub.
Let me, let me see now see now john let me see is that is that better can you tell me if that's better is this
better no uh here we go the the the mic probably has pattern setting. Make sure it's set on cardioid, heart-shaped.
Yes, cardioid.
It's on the heart.
I'm doing everything people are texting me to do.
He needs to get one of those little things that goes behind the mic.
It's like a fake pop filter that you have on the wall behind you,
Savan, you know, the kind of foam shit.
You can get a little portable stand that goes behind your mic.
So it just absorbs all the sounds.
It's only like $30.
Dude,
there's gotta be a mic.
We could just send them where it's just better.
How is this the best show in the space?
Do you ever just,
is there somebody ever just pick on you so much in the comments?
You want to find them on Instagram and tell them to eat a dick?
No,
I've done that.
It's not worth it.
I just did it it he's just talking
to everybody uh barbell spin that's the mic i had the yeti sucks but um uh tyler has the yeti and
it's kicking ass thanks yeah you're welcome okay uh anything else anyone want to bring up oh great

All right.
Everyone take care, and we will see you tomorrow morning.
Greg Glassman, 7 a.m.
And then tomorrow night, I think tomorrow night is the night.
Tomorrow night, we will be releasing the CrossFit Games workouts.
That is tomorrow night, right?
On this show.
You're leaking them?
The gymnastics workout. We are. Oh, no, no, no. Sorry. That is tomorrow night, right? On this show. You're leaking them? The gymnastics workout.
We are. Oh, no, no, no.
Sorry, that's Sunday night.
Sunday night. So there's nothing tomorrow night.
Tomorrow night's UFC fights. I guess
Sunday night we will be releasing the
I wonder if JR will find it harder
this year because Boz hasn't done
interviews. He hasn't been
asked anything by anyone.
The only stuff he's put out is his choice to put out as opposed to people
asking him things.
I think Jr has got some sick shit cooked up for Sunday.
We've talked a bit about it.
He's been awful quiet here lately.
Does he have any inside scoops that you know of?
Yes.
I'm telling you Sunday.
He's got some insights.
He's got some insane shit.
I just hope he takes his tooth out for it.
No,
I think he got a new one.
Is it in there?
I'm going to buy him a dollar store grill for Madison.
Smile for me, daddy.
That's what I'm going to say to him.
That'd be very Spartanburg of him.
Good night.
