Any surprises? Oh, where's my notebook? Any surprises, Brian? away in the women that's right any surprises oh where's my notebook any surprises brian um on the top end not not so much in the middle and towards the bottom yes i would say that two biggest surprises for me were um probably jason hopper i don't think i mean i thought that based on conversations i've had with with people who know him and him i think that this was a phenomenal 350 was an incredible lift for him i thought he'd be closer to 335 340 at best and 350 puts a little distance you know separates him quite a bit as

compared to those lower numbers wait what are you talking about i thought jason was strong i thought that was like the not i know i know i'm no i'm talking about just I thought Jason was strong. I thought that was like the, not that strong. I know, I know. No, I'm talking about just some stuff that I knew about him testing out this workout. So is he injured? Like, what do you know? No, no, no, not at all. He's got really long arms. I think it just was a great,

great workout for him. Yeah, he looks like a pinner when he's dressed. A what? A pinner. He looks, he looks, he looks, he looks svelte. He looks too skinny. John, do you know what a pinner when he's dressed. A what? A pinner. He looks svelte. He looks too skinny. John, do you know what a pinner is? A pinner.

Yeah, just a skinny dude. It's a skinny dude. It's like, Brian, don't act like you don't know. That's what people used to call you in high school behind your back. Pinner. You were a pinner. No, I didn't go to high school with anyone who was born in the 1920s. Okay.

Are you surprised, John? Do you have the same inside information that Brian does? Because I'm not surprised. The guy's an ox. I mean, that's his bread and butter, just to move heavy shit, right? He's a meathead. I don't have inside information, but I was surprised with 350. Yeah. He's just a taller guy, and I didn't expect

350, but I didn't expect 352 from Medeiros either. And I thought he expect 350, but I didn't expect 352 from Medeiros either. And I thought he would do really well. He surprised me by how well he did. And I still thought he would do well. Dude, there were a couple of really good saves at 352, both Medeiros and Travis Mayer. Yeah.

One of their elbows was going, and they saved it. I was really impressed. Is Jason Hopper surprised at 350? He looked it when he finished it. definitely looked happy surprised i don't know if he'd say surprised or not but he was i think that was towards the upper end of what he was thought was possible tonight um madaris do you think he was surprised at 352 i'm not as sure about that but i think that he was probably felt pretty good about a top five finish on this one heading into it. He looked pretty confident.

He opened with one of the heaviest openers. Um, I think he was expecting to do well. The other two guys that stood out to me here, uh, was Velner. I think that, um,

he exceeded his expectations on this in terms of lift. I don't know where to necessarily place him, but, but I believe he thought this would be his lowest placing workout this weekend, and I think he exceeded his number. And then on the not-so-good side was Alex Vigneault, and I'm starting to wonder if maybe something's wrong with him. Maybe he tweaked something in the middle of that first workout because it looked like the jerk was bothering him. Obviously, he started to have a really hard time on the rope climb, so I don't know that, but it just

seems like something might be off. Also, i thought bkg would be heavier than he was yeah yeah i mean he's usually very consistent with like valner as far as strength goes and maybe melner had a good day and he had a bad day but they're usually pretty similar what he missed that last one at 330 though and i know it's, what even, yeah, that was found their second lift. So it just, who knows?

I know that BKG, you know, Q is preparing for this competition, but I'm pretty, pretty focused actually. But you know, lifting is one of those things like some days you got it. Some days you don't,

I don't think that he's going to be happy with that, but I don't think it'll like bother him going into tomorrow. Lindsay in the comments said, oh my God, Savan, and then she did the emoji with the hand on the head. What did I say? I haven't said anything controversial yet. Pinner. Depending what a pinner is,

that might be controversial. Pinner's just a skinny guy. Let me look at a pinner in the urban dictionary. While I look this up, Guy, i'm not doing the um the third lift is this a new era of crossfit that he didn't do the third lift i mean i'm well i mean he i wanted to say the third lift was a bit of a risk because he didn't know what what adler was going to do adler choosing to do the third lift with nothing to gain from it was a

question mark for me are you sure he didn't know what adler was going to do becauseler choosing to do the third lift with nothing to gain from it was a question mark for me are you sure he didn't know what adler was going to do because 360 was on adler's thing before gee was going yeah but if you know if gee just if but maybe that's before gee lifts then if passes adler could still change it i think well yeah uh the definition of pinner the definition of pinner in the urban dictionary is uh marijuana that is poor quality that is not a guy that sells pinner weed that's not that's not how i meant it a pinner is just like a tiny like it's like a little dude that's what that's what jason opera looks like to you yeah i'm gonna go a peddler of marijuana it was a it was a bad move

on adler's part to even do 360. Like if he was going to do a third lift, he should have went 368 or 370. Even 367. 367, he probably takes five more points. Let's say you guys are right. Why are there errors happening? So here's the thing. I think that in years past like someone like rich he would have

done the lift regardless just for the crowd i'm not saying it's right i'm just saying that's the way it would have happened a rich froning a tommy hackenbrook someone someone would have done but but that was that was a different era right and now we have gee who's not doing it totally fine with that too okay let's say everything's running running the corner plan how could adler make such a mistake why is he i mean doesn't it's why risk 360 like like you guys are saying and not 368 or why not just not do the lift i mean it makes no something doesn't make sense it's not a big mistake but it's it's why it serves no purpose look i know well it expands energy and there's a million dollars or whatever on the line. Right.

Or whatever. A lot of money. I know Jeff and Caroline and they're, you know, I don't think that they really do things like that on accident. So I would guess that they have a coach, his coach, his coach and fiance. Okay. Okay. She's. Both. They have a pretty interesting relationship, but also strategy in the CrossFit space. It's different than a lot of others.

So I think that for them, there might have been some purpose behind it. I could be wrong, but I have just suspicion. They want to let you know he's right there with them? I don't think it was the right thing to do it's not like you're not going to gain anything from it there's always the outside risk of of something going wrong and why why force it if you don't need to get what five more events to do six more events to do so i'm not in favor of it but they might have a reason that's all i'm saying oh shit the women are going. Should we go watch?

Yeah, let's go watch. Guys, we'll be back in 30 minutes. Thank you for watching.
