Ha, ha, ha. Ah, no. No surprise, right? Predictions were pretty close. Yeah, no surprise, right? Predictions were pretty close. Yeah, no surprise. Let's see. We'll pull up the leaderboard here. That one was called Up and Over.

Up and Over, yeah. And we got Tia, Mal O'Brien, Emma Lawson, Haley Adams, and Daniel Brandon. Carl Saunders did good, too. I want to see, and I think, I want to see what. They haven't updated it yet. The only person that I think that I want to ask about right off the bat is, we did have, oh, no, did have Oh, no. Oh, yeah.

What happened to Laura Horvath? All the way down to 12th. Muscle ups just slowed her down. I didn't see her. I was going to say I didn't see her once. She did not go very fast on the event. And that is why. The people that she was beat by

that maybe she shouldn't have been beat by are Matilda Garns, Bailey Rayl, Paige Semenza, Ariel Loewen, Christy Arama O'Connell. But maybe she should have been. I mean, obviously she should have been. I mean, she didn't just take 12th. She's 15 seconds behind 11th. Yeah, you read all those names, and i rethink my prediction about having her up in

second because they're also all very good at muscle-ups and gymnastics in general uh the um axle bar uh didn't play a big as big of a role as i thought no uh j, any thoughts on the axle bar? I think the axle bar is there just to fatigue the midline a little bit more for what's coming tonight. Okay. So do you think it could have been heavier, five pounds heavier for each of the men and the women? 10 pounds heavier? I don't think it needed to be because there weren't that many people that did it unbroken. Tia could have if she would have needed to, but it's not like everyone was doing it unbroken. A lot of people were breaking. Let's go over to the boys.

Up and over. Saxon Panchik, no surprise. Justin Medeiros, second place, no surprise. Ricky Garrard, third place, no surprise. Samuel Quant, no surprise, but a confirmation. He's back, huh? Yeah, he's back. And I will say it was pretty crazy to watch Justin maybe enter that first round

and maybe fourth or fifth or sixth potentially in the heat and then close the gap and finish in second was pretty cool um are we can we i'm gonna say make any conclusions or make any questions do we have any questions for um for uh pat uh velner is it still too early still too early yeah it's early okay hold on one second look at this this is like a no oh shit where is that this is a no rep uh if you grab a picture please so this is a no rep meet up in front of the noble booth wow that's crazy this is shit a politically homeless shirt.

I got one of those. I'm wearing mine, too. That dude has no business wearing a shirt. I'm glad he had it off. He should just carry it around. Wow. Wow. It's a real movement.

They hung a no rep sign on, oh, my goodness. We are live. We are live. Everybody say no rep on three. One, two, three. No rep. Everybody flex. Do we only have one camera?

We don't have four cameras. That's amazing. You guys are live right now. Second time I've wished I'd be there. Wow. That is so cool. One, two, three. Go Colton!

Go Colton on three. Everybody do whatever Hiller tells you to do on three. I want to do this with you guys as I can. Yeah. Yeah. Awesome. Sousa, tell us exactly what's going on here, buddy. Yeah, Noble is needed.

All right, so this is the no rep rally officially. Oh, yeah. Woo, woo, woo. I like what she did with the sleeves. It is nuts. So tell us again what's going on there, Sousa. So this is the no-ref rally here, as I've dubbed it. And Andrew's just hanging out.

A bunch of people are just coming by, saying hi, shaking his hands. And I think he started a movement on accident. I don't know what's happening. So he's just basically taking the piss out of the noble people because they um gave him the cease and desist on the shirt yeah so we're meeting here right in front of the uh noble booth or whatever it is and uh and security is uh hot on our heels. Oh, no shit. Is security really there? Are they trying to break that up? That would be fucking awesome.

What are they afraid you guys are going to run in and... Hey, are the CrossFit games like California? You can steal as much shit as you want as long as it's under $950? Wow, a no rep flag. Yeah, yeah, it's all free as long as it's under $1,000. I never, David Arsenal, I never agreed with Taylor more than the anger over the arm touching event with Hiller in the last segment. It was such a dickhead move. It was like calling somebody buddy. It was like, dickhead move. It was like calling somebody buddy.

It was like, okay, buddy. I was like, all right, you don't have to touch his arm. I'm still emotional about that. I'll back off. Hey, Dave paid five bucks to see you get emotional again. That was good. Okay. Okay.

Good stuff. All right. We will mute that and then come back over here um back to pat velner so so what's going on with uh patrick velner it's tough to say i think it's early one uh two he isn't he is not looking like himself it's early but he's not looking like himself so so we could have said that about tia but it was premature and it was just people who didn't have experience watching the crossfit games and you need a bunch of workouts to go by and i guess so the question is is have enough workouts

gone by um should we write pat off let's wait till tonight but and and writing him off i think is a very strong statement what are we going going to say? Did he get old? Did the other guys get better? Is he sick? Did the kid get to him? Do we have an excuse ready for him? It might be the vaccine. I'm open.

Sorry. I know. I'm open. Trish is back with the sweet comments. This is the lady who took the 15 pound 15 inch deuce earlier I will wipe my Badoosie

On a noble shirt for Hiller I'm not even sure What the Caleb We're going to need the urban dictionary I swear to god i have no idea what that is i'm gonna you don't know what that is no should i i didn't play i didn't play college basketball i didn't hear shit like that you should know what it is yes the bud

pussy how is there a butt pussy what? What's the Budussi? Budussi. I mean, I understand. It looks like it's a combination of some words. Oh, my gosh. Caleb, are you looking that one up for us? Thank you. I appreciate it.

This is nuts. Okay. And the rest of the Big Budussi is the pungent odor of three. Holy shit. Budussi is the pungent odor of three. Holy shit. But this is the pungent odor of three combined sources. The butt, the dick, and the pussy. That's too crass. It is the anus, the penis, and the vagina.

The odor is routinely caused by vigorous sexual activity using all three sources at once. It's also accompanied by a sweaty, humid room oh i'm in big trouble god i hope my mom's not watching trish is more foul than me the um wait let me use it in a sentence here real quick they have a they have a sentence dude you have that oh my god okay uh our final uh use of the word but this is there there are swingers they're swingers their apartment always smells like buddhist all right wow all right fine well thank you i don't know how you squeeze that into a show about the uh crossfit 2022 crossfit games i forget but i'm okay oh he's gonna wipe his shirt with one of those okay i'm awake um so so here in in in the boys department though the big boys are hanging right uh uh patrick did do uh he did get an eighth

uh cole sager got a seventh bjorgvin carl goodmanson got a sixth and noah olsen got a fifth um uh and and how about enrico zanoni uh winning his heat that was a surprise he smacked it uh jeffrey adler uh overall looks like he's in four have they updated the men yet uh helping yeah yeah the men's scores are updates the women's scores that are still behind okay can you can we look at the men's leaderboard and look at the overall ranking? Fikowski's not doing so hot either. Okay. Yeah.

Oh, my goodness. I love Haley so much, so this hurts when I say this, but she is unfortunately going to be the female Dan Bailey. I don't know. I think she's significantly better than Dan already. Her and she's only 21. So, so young. Uh, what do you think about that? What, what, what, what, what, as, as an athlete with a success and accolades at the CrossFit games, isn't Haley Adams more successful CrossFit Games athlete than the –

I was going to say the good dudes guy, but he's not good dudes anymore. What is he known for now? God's Country Coffee? Yeah, God's Country Coffee. I don't know. I think she still has plenty of time. Yeah, but do you think that she's already surpassed him in terms of her success i think well to take a phrase from crossfit's documentaries i think a lot of people are jumping into the sport now as far as spectating and a lot relative but um and uh

and I think a lot of people just focus on Haley especially on the female side and it's maybe not comparable not comparable so you're saying Dan Bailey who had more fucking finishes higher up in the games is what I'm asking

actual number a number I think Haley good me too good answer right answer that was the only right answer and someone said Brent Fikowski struggling he's all the way down at 22nd place even though he took a 14th in that

event just to put in perspective where Fikowski's at he has 303 points and Ricky Garrard has 655. It's not good. It's not looking good for Brent. Yeah, I don't... I've tried to look at that a couple ways over the last few years,

of like, what is the points and sort of the point of no return when it's like this far into it. Well, maybe here's another way to look at it. Ricky Garrard is now in control of his own fucking destiny. He – if he does – if he – I mean it can't be taken from him if he can somehow fight everyone off. If he took seconds the rest of the events and well and and justin medeiros took first that and

there were uh five six seven more seven more events that's only 21 points right because it's only three points it separates first and second yeah i mean ricky can basically basically take a fourth on every event from here on out and still win it. A fifth. He's got to have some pretty colossal stumbles in order for him to lose it at this point. Or just one. He just needs one big one. Like a 35th. He needs a 35th, right? He needs a 35th and a couple mediocre finishes.

If he has one 35th and the rest he does two, three, three he's gonna be okay i think whatever happens uh is good for the sport good for crossfit potentially um mike uh um how been what's the lowest uh ricky ever took at um the crossfit games in 2017 his lowest finish uh oh actually i got that up uh 32 second and i'll have to look at the event but he took a 30 second yeah i i would i would be curious uh to see what that event is uh travis mayor got the most attention i've ever seen him get from all other convent events combined in his last 10 years he got more camera time on that run and people were upset that they were just showing one guy. Well, if they were only going to show one guy,

it couldn't have happened to a better guy. And I, and he deserves it. Good job, Travis. Second thing, it was an open course. It was an open course. And I think we, I talked about that a little bit with Adrian yesterday, which I thought was really cool. I think I talked about that a little bit with Adrian yesterday, which I thought was really cool. I'm surprised that the only two coaches I saw on the course were Adler's and Samuel Quant's and Amanda Barnhart's, the great Ben Bergeron. Say that again?

On the running event. Yeah, it was an open course. I'm just surprised there weren't more people on there uh you know on the course yeah like it's it's it's curious because they could almost have pacers if they want right right and adler and adler's wife and coach was running i don't know if she was pacing him but she was running i think sean woodland did use that term pacing wow is this live right here? Okay. Let's listen. We're going to get your mouth in after this to work out.

Okay. We're going to get one. And it's like. Wow. This is. Start. You're a lady, you don't want to talk about it. Then you're going to hop off. You're going to be in a situation where you're going to be in a situation where you're going

to be in a situation where you're going to be in a situation where you're going to be in a situation where you're going to be in a situation where you're going to be in a situation where you're going to be in a situation where you're't know what I'm talking about. And then you're gonna hop off. We're gonna do the hands, push your shoulder. Don't move. Don't move. We're gonna count how many there are so you can hear me, ready? One, two, three, four, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10. He doesn't have it.

That's fucking hard. Do they have to be wall-facing? Yes. 15 of ladies, 10 of men. 20 of men and a gentleman, 15 of ladies. 5 of them in the grass. And finally 30 of the gentlemen and the gentlemen of the house. Oh, let's keep watching. Let's keep watching a little bit. But this is good.

Thank you, Jordan. Can we keep watching? Their shoulders and triceps are already fucked. Let's keep watching, though. Thank you. Okay, guys. Adrian Bosman just announced what looks like the event that will happen today

at 5 p.m. Central Time. And there it is. Thank you to Jordan Vance. 30 calories, 10 wall-facing handstand push-ups, 20 calories on the assault bike, 10... 10 wall-facing handstand push-ups, 20 calories on the assault bike, again,

10. I thought the wall-facing handstand push-ups were going up. No? Did anyone else think that? Going up uh like it was a larger number to do every time did anyone else see that no like more reps i thought it was 10 20 30 of the bike okay but not for i thought what i heard and i'm sure i heard it wrong i thought i heard that the handstand push-ups were going up and the calories on the bike were going down is this posted on the bike were going down.

Is this posted on the game site yet? All right. Well, fuck it. Then what do I know? Ginga Ninja, the wall-facing handstand pushups again seem to be a blurry line between fitness and party tricks. We'd like to hear Taylor and JR's thoughts. Taylor. I don't think it's a blurred line between fitness and party tricks. I would have preferred to have seen maybe a strict parallette.

Um, I don't know. We'll have to see how the event plays out. Anytime something new comes along, there's going to be a lot of people who call it a gimmick. There's going to be a lot of people are like, I don't know. And then when you see it happening in the workout and you see it performed, it changes minds and, and the workout will tell. I think this progression and making handstand push-ups harder is necessary um i'm just not sure what

the visual is going to look like we'll see uh i don't understand i don't see it as a gimmick at all no no for sure yeah the teams had something similar announced so it looks like you want to show the teams page. When is the last time a non-American male won the CF Games? Ricky might break the decade streak. Halbin? Wow. When's the last time? I was reading the team page.

When's the last time a transgender has won the games at the CrossFit Games? No, sorry. A different question won't be come up for another 10 years when's the last time a non-american male has uh won the crossfit games miko miko salo is that really a male male wow wow it's pretty crazy yeah super crazy and now and it's going to be an Australian. Just basically an American. Or a Russian.

It's just a jailed American. What is going on with Guy? We're just completely out of his wheelhouse? Is that what's going on with Mr. Guillermo? No, I think last year was so completely in his wheelhouse. Okay. He's sitting in 24th place, but that last workout he got 25th on, so he's not doing himself any favors.

Well, I think we've known that his motor and his classic CrossFit is not the best, but where he excels are one rep max lifts, really short, high power outburst events. He's just not getting that this year. This would be a good opportunity for him to showcase it. There's a really hard bike. Um, and he tends to do pretty well on some gymnastics. So we'll see. I don't need, I don't understand this workout. What do you not understand?

It's like so few calories on the assault bike. Yeah. To push them. Okay. And then, I mean, how, how long is that? Is someone just going to blast through that unbroken? Is someone going to do that in sub three, sub two? No.

No? The workout? No way. No? I think the fastest times will be, let's see, three, two, one, go. 30 cal on the assault bike, 10. 20 cal, 10. 10 cal, 10.

And then another 30 calories. So you've got 90 calories on the echo bike and then 30 wall-facing strict handstand push-ups i think the fastest anyone's gonna go is is sub six and will there be a time cap let's see i would imagine an eight or nine minute time cap and then even that might be aggressive and it was the same amount of handstand push-ups for the men and the women but the women had fewer calories i believe so and their deficit might be a little smaller me guessing two or three minutes was like um jason hopper saying he had zero percent body fat

but then hillar confirmed that he did the old pinch test. Oh yes, that's true. That's true. Yeah. I only see one about this so far and it doesn't, it's hard to say comparatively between the two teams when they have to keep the handstand hold on the wall while the other team,

while the other team members row or do the echo uh the cap is 10 for men 12 for women uh it is um okay thank you is uh is let's go over to the teams really quick is are the mayhem crew in first place now i heard they they crushed that last workout they beat everybody by quite the margin i don't know that they're in first. How do I do that? I go to division, team? Yeah, they're in first by about six points. Okay, but it is an incredibly close competition, right?

We got CrossFit Mayhem, Freedom in first, CrossFit Invictus in second, CrossFit Oslo Navy Blue in third. Holy cow. And then we have Angelo's team, right? In fourth place. Yeah. Oh, Susie got an OG hat. Did you see that?

Wow. Oh, and he got a Be Friendly shirt. What's that for? What other swag you got? That's for Brian Friend. Is that really? He's got his own shirt from where yeah i uh someone a sherpa a sherpa place i just heard the word sherpa makes it for him i don't know if that's a clothing brand or what but it's actually a pretty cool shirt has

a picture of him like with his beard on the back and then uh and then it says be friendly he's not very friendly. He's very clever. That's why it's so perfect. CrossFit. Okay. So these guys are kind of in a league of their own with the teams. Oh, and Reykjavik's in fifth. How did they do?

Has Lauren's injury been exposed yet? Did they do a workout with muscle-ups? Yeah, the last workout had muscle-ups, and she did fine, apparently. Okay, and they're in third. Well, they got third in that event. Yeah. But they did have a – they got a 30th. That was – oh, no. That was an Elizabeth.

She couldn't do the dips last night. Oh, she couldn't. Or Wednesday night. Sorry. And that was – Lauren couldn't do them. Yeah. Because of her injury. I don't think it was because of the injury. I don't think she knew how to kip the dip, or at least they were yelling at her to kip the dip, and she wasn't doing it.

Wow. Well, you thought it was lats, right? I mean, if it's shoulder, that could – At first I thought it was shoulder. Then I was told by someone that it was lats, right? I mean, if it's shoulder, that could play. At first I thought it was shoulder. Then I was told by someone that it was lats. And then I think she actually made a video where she said she heard something in here. Snap. Or felt something snap. I think that's verbatim.

I think that's verbatim. Snap. Oh, here we go. OG get with. Okay. So Sherpa works is the name of the shirt company and it's where OG, the OG shirts come from. Also get with the programming.

Oh, they might even be making. Okay. They might even be making those shirts. Get with the programming may have decided to make those for Brian. Taylor, Mike Halpin, Ryan Sandwitz. Now I'm confused why Gabby Magawa did so poorly in that last. The gymnastics gap. We were talking a little bit about Laura and Gabby prior to the event starting last week

when Boz was discussing which modalities or hinting at which modalities the sport was going to be taking steps forward in. And me and JR both kind of touched a little bit on maybe a slight amount of worry for both Laura and Gabby because they have such massive gymnastic deficits in comparison to some of the other top females. Laura specifically with handstand pushups, which may be exposed in this next event. and Gabby specifically with upper body pulling, which makes sense why she was exposed in this last event with the muscle-ups. Oh, what do you mean may be exposed? Laura's toast, right?

Odds are she's toast in this next workout. Like really bad, like bottom 10? There's a chance of that. I don't want to go out and say she's going to be like bottom 10? There's a chance of that. I don't want to go out and say she's going to be bottom 10, but there's a chance. It's a lot. It's a lot to ask of her. She's not going to do well in this workout.

And if she does, I would be very surprised, and I'll eat fucking crow. I don't want her to do poorly, so I don't want people to mistake what I'm saying for that. I just, you know, history says she's not going to do very well and no you cannot kip the wall facing they're strict uh balil ahmad khan thought i made that name up right i did not laura will place bottom five okay let's go back up to the top um who wins that workout in the female let's go

with the um man that's all brain and no heart mike albin who wins that for the females um yeah tia mau emma lawson hayley adams daniel brandon kara saunders bailey rail or or does foos lia's handstand push-ups make up for the struggle she might have on the bike? Or is it time for Alexis Raptus to shine? None of the above. Okay. Go ahead. Hurry up, Mike.

Three, two, one, go. Yeah. He isn't first. He's got her own leader shirt. Danny Spiegel. Mike Halfman goes with Danny Spiegel. Brave choice, buddy. I think you're a little biased. Courageous. You're spending too much time on Instagram. own leader shirt uh danny spiegel mike halfman goes with danny spiegel brave choice buddy i think you're a little uh biased courageous too much time on instagram late night work is gonna even it out

i got mal she won the wall walk thruster workout last year she has a great pressing capacity and i think she's very very good on the echo bike they spend a lot of time on it uh and um how many heats will this be done in probably three four four i think four heats four heats okay uh mike did you do you have a guess i'm just wondering how how much the machine work may even it out for laura but she may just be stuck on the wall for the whole time. It's not going to even it out enough. She's not that much better on the machines than, if at all, than Tia or Mal on the bike specifically. On the rower and the skier, you could give her an edge, but on the eco bike, Tia and Mal are as good as it gets in the female field. I'm giving it to Emma Lawson. We'll see.

I'm giving it to Emma Lawson. We'll see. I'm taking Mal. And if Mal does win this, she will go first place. Oh, here we go. Hold on. Let's check in with these guys. What are these guys doing? What's going on, boys?

Matt Sousa's giving out signatures. Holy shit. You took him to the top, Savon. I just love this. This just brings happiness to my ears, to my heart, to my bodosie. This just brings happiness i just these guys that know these guys at nobles are such fucking clowns it's it's just they stand for nothing and i just love to see someone who stands for something no matter what people buying equipment i want to know

if they actually broke up the meat that's yoked the no rep meat that oh no i don't i doubt it they were just afraid they were gonna go in there and steal a pair of cardboard shoes or something probably um uh okay i looked at it a little bit so using last year's event four which is the one that malby t on brooke did well. Amanda Barnhart did well, although I don't know what may be wrong with Amanda Barnhart. Amanda Barnhart's got good handstand pushups? I'm just saying they did

well on that wall walk workout. Okay. Mal definitely, obviously, won, but then it was Tia, Emma, Carrie, Brooke Wells, Amanda Barnhart, Ariel Lowen. Some of those could fight back, but I think, yeah, it's probably Mal and Tia, Emma, Carrie, Brooke Wells, Amanda Barnhart, Ariel Loewen. So some of those could fight back, but I think, yeah, it's probably Mal and Tia. Oh, I'm going with Fuselier. I'm going with Fuselier.

Oh, right. Sorry, I'm going with Fuselier. Okay, you have who? You have Tia, Mike? Is that what you said? Yeah, I'll just pick the winner. Okay, you'll just pick the winner. But if Mal wins, it's three points,

and then she'll be ahead of Tia by one point if Tia takes second, which would be awesome, right? Yeah. On the men's side, that event, Scott Pantrick won it. But then it was Justin Brent, Saxon, Jay Crouch. How's Ricky upside down? How's Ricky upside down? Ricky's good upside down. He is?

I like it when the commentators say, so-and-so is really good on their hands. I love it when they say that. This must be a dedicated caller because they have my number saved for the show. Tell me how great we are. Hello, caller.

Hello. Hello. Hi. You've used up 17 seconds. Hey, I was wondering, do you think Ricky Gerard is still juicing? Who? Do I think who? Ricky Gerard is still juicing? Who? Do I think who? Is that Ricky guy still juicing? He's juicing the Badoosie. He's juicing the Badoosie. He's drinking Badoosie juice.

He's huffing Badoosie. Come on, you don't think four years suspension he's juicing? He's dabbing the Badoosie. I don't. Tell me how naive i am i mean i think you just uh maybe you had the rose colored glasses on a little bit he's been tested a lot during that four-year ban randomly yeah they kept him on the whole time hey what why do you why do you why do you think he do you think let me ask you this i guess it's obvious why you think he might be because he did it before but do you think he is? Let me ask you this. I guess it's obvious why you think he might be because he did it before.

But do you think everyone is juicing? Are you in that camp? Are you in the Hiller camp? No. No. No. Okay. All right.

No question. No, I don't think he is. I think he's too scared. Well, I mean, but part of me is like, fuck, man. If you've been caught, I could go the other way, too. You've been caught once. Fuck it. Who cares?

He's been caught once. Fuck it. Who cares? You know? He's been caught a lot about it. And you don't think he could be working with someone who knows how to get past pests and knows how to handle all that for him? I think he could be. Sure. I just don't. If I had to bet money, I would say he's not. Like, if you gave me a million bucks and said, hey uh is is uh is is ricky um messing with the

badusi or is he uh juicing i'd say he's messing with the badusi i put my million on that so you think it's like uh i forget who said it about armstrong he was like he's the greatest comeback or the greatest fraud you think that's it greatest comeback yeah but and armstrong never did come back right he tried natural and shit the bed well that was i'm saying uh whoever oh the second time he did come back yeah and he was juiced to the gills you're right oh oh i don't like you caller you're fucking with my head i don't like it i don't like it you got me thinking i don't like it i don't like it at all you guys gotta hang up on you bye oh my god we gotta screen these calls i don't think it. I don't like it at all. I got to hang up on you. I got to screen these calls. I don't think he's juicing. He's been tested so many times in that four-year ban. The one thing that did raise my eyebrow

and cause me to question it was maybe 2019 or 2020 when Benny popped for the same substance at a Sanctional. Hey, guys. Jim Klesis. Hi. How are you? Stevan Matosian. Jim Cleases hi how are you you are one of the few people

in this world to pronounce my name the correct way and I appreciate that thank you I try I try hey so I have a question for you I know we talked about the broadcast I'm not considering you to complain about it but I am going to

oh wait wait sorry hold on that's Freddy Camacho one second let's hear what they're talking about playing about it, but like, but I am going to. Oh, wait, wait, sorry, hold on. That's Freddie Camacho. Hold on, sorry, hold on, Jim. One second, let's hear what they're talking about. I don't know whose wife, whose girl is sitter. I'd say Freddie's. I can't, oh, we can't get on, I can't unmute them. Okay.

Unmute yourself, Sousa. Okay, nevermind. Fuck off, Sousa. Okay, go ahead sorry jim please there you go you got him back you got him back oh there he goes all right so um during a three and a half mile run during constant laps on a bike how often do we have to just see the leaders talk about this is what they're you know metal, metal glycolytic, glycolytic, you know, metabolic conditioning. How about you have a 30 second piece on someone in the back on one of

there's 15 female rookies in this, in this lineup, in this lineup this year. Why not have like a little prepackaged 30 second piece, meet so-and-so rookie from wherever and talk, let them talk about themselves for a little bit for 30 seconds while we're watching people run. Hey, that's a great idea. Cause a lot of people are complaining saying,

why aren't they showing more athletes? And I think that there's limited resources. I think like they only have like fucking, and they have a lot of cameras, but still I think they have limited cameras. They can't have fucking cameras everywhere. But what you're saying is fucking brilliant. If instead of watching travis

run for three minutes hey it doesn't even even have to be about someone else how about a 30 second video about travis and his four kids and his affiliate yeah i see what you're saying we know we know we know we know travis and we love travis and you can't get enough travis so don't hang up on me um but no like let's meet some meet some of these young kids. Meet, you know, let's, Tudor Magda. What do we know about Tudor Magda? He's with James Townsend. He had a little bit of a meltdown on the floor the other night. And, you know, let's talk about him.

Little prepackaged thing. I mean, you see, I don't know. You probably don't watch a lot of sports, but like when you're watching auto racing, when you're watching golf. The fuck does that mean? I don't watch a lot of sports. Fuck you. You don't watch a lot of mainstream sports?

I don't watch any sports. You nailed me. That's what I thought. I changed the oil in my car once. I hated it. Awesome. But no, when they go to commercials, they'll run the commercial with sound on a split screen

while the action is still going on. Why can't we? I mean, we're watching people run for 20 minutes and nobody's. Tell me about Gabby Magala. Tell me about Rebecca Cecilie. Tell me about, you know, some of these other rookies. Tell me. Tell me their story.

I mean, I know it because I follow them on Instagram. I follow a lot of stuff. The prospecting. But for the people, the casual watchers, who wants to watch people run for 20 minutes? I watched Chris Hinshaw's analysis analysis i thought it was great thank you i i will i will as the executive director of crossfit media will pass that on you're a good dude thank you so much appreciate it okay thank you bye uh you know what i was sorry i wasn't i started to stop listening uh fucking caleb pulled out his last three hairs he agrees with you tay, Taylor. I see him in the back, yeah, right here. I was

watching a Hiller. There was some guy talking to him, and they looked like the perfect gay couple to me. I was like, wow, Hiller should date that dude. No, it wasn't Sousa. It was some other guy. Looks like he goes to a tanning salon, too. Scott, how can I help you?

So, awesome cover so far. But the only point I want to make about Ricky, I love that he's doing great, but people like Taylor who put the work in day to day, did he take a shortcut in the beginning, juicing to get there? He took a shortcut, but he also got a four-year ban i just don't see how else you're gonna punish somebody like that i love the way you tried to manipulate taylor on your side though

that was some high level manipulation scott i do that shit to my my wife all that my wife lives in that world of me manipulating her like that's good man you know but you know he maybe he would have been here now at this point by now but would he have been there back then or in 2019, 2020, 2021, without skipping those steps to get there? Here's the thing. I think some drugs do give an enormous performance-enhancing benefit. I think you look at what he was taking, and there are two examples. Recent, you have him in 2017, which he was taking,

and I don't think that that banned substance put him in third at the games. And then you look at someone like Joyal. He's been scratching at the heels for years and years and years, and he barely scrapes in again. But just because Joyal has taken that performance-enhancing drug doesn't mean he's going to play third at the games. They also give him a four-year ban, and I just don't see what more you can do to punish him.

I don't think you can ban him for life. Look at this guy's body language talking to Hiller. I'm not liking it. I'm not liking it at all. Take a step back, buddy. Sorry. Okay, go ahead. I agree with that, too.

Hearing Ricky's story, especially on your podcast, it checks out that he had put in the work up to that point and made a stupid decision in a very very short term and it and it it caught him so i think you would have been third that year regardless i i i do i do think this part of me was thinking that if ricky wins this year would make me go hmm i wonder if he could have beat matt all along but but i but i'm starting to think mate that no because i'm starting to think no i because i want to ask mike alpin this at some point i don't know when's going to be the right time to

ask him but how would have matt fraser done at this games that that's going to be a question because i think he'd be destroying these workouts he would be doing well but you can't you also can't it's hard to say how i'd be doing in this year's games. What I do think is important to note that if Ricky hadn't been banned, he would have just driven Matt to be more successful. He would have driven Matt to be more competitive. When you have somebody nipping at your heels, you just go that much harder. I think maybe 2020 or 2019 you see the gap a little smaller. 2019.

Because of the scoring. Because the only thing you're talking about is the gaps maybe smaller. But Matt's still... Thanks, guys. I'm going to get off here. On that topic, you kind of got to just take it and look at it as a time curve.

If you wanted somebody to get a lifetime ban, go yell at CrossFit that they didn't give somebody a lifetime ban. Will you guys hold on? I need to say need to just say one thing to suza uh suza suza yeah yeah i'm here i'm here uh uh justin madaris's uh father anthony just sent me a text and he said that um they're having a party at the trailer tonight for his 50th birthday party, and he'd like you and Hiller to attend. Oh, excuse me. Okay. Hello, Jeffrey.

Sorry, Suze, I had to mute your ass. Wow, Suze, you're going to get fucked up. Yeah, he is. Hi, Jeffrey, hi. They've been drinking since this morning. Hey, how are y'all? Great. Who gives a damn whether or not Ricky took performance enhancing drugs you're right

actually I kind of fall in your camp thank you four years ago who cares no but they're saying what if he's on him now do you also who cares I'll side with whatever you say he's not on him now but what if he was is it still who cares cares? He got tested at semis, right? Well, no, it wouldn't be then. Well, that's what these people are saying. These people are saying, hey, there's no fucking way he comes back and is this good. Yeah, I don't believe that.

Me neither. Savan, you love these. Do you think if he's on something and he wins, do you think CrossFit, like Dave has always said, we'd love to catch our best. Do you think a winner on the podium and a winner that was banned before, do you think that gets a little – Oh, there's Snorri Barron. No, no, no one gets any favoritism.

They all get – they all take it in the – everyone gets the same treatment. I've never seen anyone get favoritism. The only thing I've – and I've only heard about it possibly happening once. Just the military guy? No, that really wasn't favoritism. That was just they didn't out him. They still kicked him out. But I did hear a story of something that may have happened with the teams this year over on the east coast that made it was a little unsettling for me and it was around some dei shit and uh that's what makes it to me seem

possibly uh believable what uh that there was a team that there was a team that there was someone who worked for crossfit inc who was brought on uh who was brought on because of not their work capacity, but because of their beliefs and what they represented and the perception people have of this person, not their work quality. And then that person used their new position to avoid one of having one of their team members drug tested. That's what I heard. I heard that someone on a team uh but but i have no proof of that except uh you know just a bunch of sources but i've no drug tested meaning there was a guy

there was a on the team four people have to be tested right or no on the team there's four people and two have to be tested yeah they chose the guy who worked at crossfit supposedly said hey make sure you choose these two because he knew that this guy. But I don't know if that's true. Wow. But the aura of this guy and how he was hired showed no integrity also. So that's what makes me think there's a possibility. That's true.

The whole testing program was kind of jacked up this year. Well, what happened in Africa was jacked up for sure. You can't, you can't send someone to wrong. You have to let that girl off the hook no matter what I think. Oh yeah. Oh yeah. Yeah. That's a, that's nonsense.

Um, well, Siobhan, I just wanted to also say y'all are doing a great job, man. Thank you. It's been interesting trying to go in between, some training for school that i'm doing right now and uh keep up with the programming well well thanks you've been nothing but uh good to me since day one i appreciate all your support and i'm going to work out uh right when i'm done with this show too well me too so what's your workout what are you doing hey man okay bye say that again what workout are you doing bye jeffrey i don't know yet oh you think i should do the burpee one no film that and post it yeah yeah my film guy is not here yeah i need to

wow seven making shit up again david wide The teams are doing that workout right now. That's similar. I turned it on and it's just no reps. Yeah. What do you mean? That's a big step. They're just like every rep is a no rep. Are they getting called on it?

Yeah. For the team competition. what's the movement? The handstand push-ups, the wall-facing handstand push-ups. Why are they being no-repped? For their forehead not touching the block in front of them. Oh, so that's the standard. I saw a white tape line, and I wasn't sure what the standard was. Was it their head had to break the tape line?

I couldn't decide. Yeah, I I wasn't sure what the standard was. Was it their head had to break the tape line? I couldn't decide. They just have to touch the top of it. They're doing it. Yeah. Jerry Garcia, if anyone wants to send me some PEDs, I'll test them out and let you know. Just life source yourself. You're a good dude.

I know a guy. They're getting a bit more exhausted. They have to hold a handstand. They have to hold a handstand position on the wall while the other team goes what other notes do i have here so we talked about gee uh rebecca fusli a uh and someone had asked that question um someone said uh what happened i forget who it was they gave five bucks but they're basically saying that what we saw happen at the capital with the crowd getting behind fusli a does that solidify Boz?

I don't see the connection there. I really don't. But my mom and a few other people texted me and said that they felt like crying when that happened, the way the crowd came behind. Did you guys see that? The crowd came behind Rebecca Fusliade? Yeah. So I think it was a safety issue, and they should have told everyone to get the

fuck back uh jim cleases uh for mike halpin uh ten dollars to buy a shirt and put some pictures on the wall yeah that wall yes yes a couple uh saxon was saxon the only one who did the muscle-ups unbroken didn't tia do them unbroken she didn't she didn't uh no okay or am i even making it up did saxon even do she broke the lunge too she was very close to going unbroken she walked like the whole field and dropped it with like four feet to go so we don't know we don't have any unbroken remind me of the the tiakara one she failed right at the end i don't think she failed i think she just looked around and saw no one was closer i'm just like yeah fuck it um the the comments are full of really really really dumb shit yeah they're pissed today they're fucking wiling yeah it's almost

better to turn them off because you get dumber from reading them like that uh comment that some guy just wrote in here uh mr wide said seven making shit up again but here uh i want to i want to this is someone wrote in the comments i thought ricky skipped a lap no he didn't and then and then i thought of some other ones that some people could write that no one wrote these two but i made these up i thought the vaccine worked it doesn't i thought i thought daniel brandon was with underdogs athletics i was like so behind yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah it's just like, come on, man. Like they've been living under a rock and all of a sudden they decided to hop out and start. Did Ricky skip a lap?

Somebody was saying I was voting for Biden earlier. That's a pretty bad insult. That pissed me off. Hey, he blames Biden for his hair loss. The broadcast wasn't on Saxon the entire time to know whether he broke the set or not fair enough fair enough just like the just like yeah and you're right and just like um the camera wasn't on uh ricky the whole time or um who won that yeah who was second yanukovsky the whole time to know that split second that uh ricky gerard passed him. All right.

We only have one workout left today. We have no idea what the rest of the workouts are for the rest of the time, right? We just know to swim tomorrow. Well, we don't know the workout, but we know they're swimming. We don't know. Okay. And that happens at, I guess we can talk about all that tonight but that's that'll be saturday morning and that doesn't start until 11 a.m central time wow we get to sleep in whoa you got to see this

rowing machine that they have on uh what do you mean oh it's like a synchro rower yeah it's like a tandem like what they use in crow and, uh, and like the row hut. What is it all crew? Hey, can you, can you, can you pause it and share the screen, uh, Caleb,

so that we don't get a ding, maybe pause it, share it for a split second and then pull it off. I'll be the timer. I'll count. Here we go. They have them on and like rollers. Oh,

they pull together. I've seen those before. We've've seen them they've been at other events and that thing slides around on there forward and backward yeah like the whole rower itself um so you lose energy to that right hey what's going on if it's moving back and forth hi how are you linda hey I'm doing good. Your transition, your hormone therapy is working great. You almost sound like a complete man. I'm using the California one.

All right, awesome. Let's work. Hey, I have a question for Taylor. I was going to ask, what does he think is more impressive? Ricky Gerard winning the Capitol, stating that he had never done a pig flip before? Or Travis having to run by himself in the first heat and putting up that time that he did? Like having to run by yourself and constantly just put up a time like that?

I don't think one Ricky has flipped implements very close to a pig. I've seen him on video doing it. So him saying I've never flipped a pig before is him just saying I've never lifted a 20 kilogram bar with a 28 millimeter shaft like you've lifted a regular barbell before um damn well you hate hearing stuff like that um he's flipped something that looks just he's basically flipped the pig without the cover damn okay so you're gonna go with travis any different i think travis crushing heat one is

probably it's probably i don't know what ricky did was also very impressive i just don't think it's impressive because he claims he's never flipped the pig before what do you have people run with travis had to mentally just run by himself not knowing anything else travis people to run with his ability to hurt, it's not unparalleled, but it's with the best in the sport. He's really good at that, and I respect that a lot in an athlete. I am a hater. He's a master hater.

It's in my blood. I totally agree, Heather. Fuck, it's one of those words. I'm stuck on it. As soon as I heard him say shaft, I started just like, I got the warm and fuzzies. Same with like wood and snatch and badussy. I'm going to say badussy so much now. I hear the word shaft, and it's just a cool word.

What are you going to do? Taylor did vote for Biden. Dude, I couldn't even vote in the last election. That's how young I am. Oh my goodness. Uh, uh, now that, um, that, um, Mr. Self has, uh, exposed, uh, Ricky's, uh, fib. Um, what do you, do you agree with him that it's Travis? I think what Travis did in totality is probably a little more impressive yeah having to run by yourself and not having

a group of people to kind of push you or kind of draft on is I think it's totally impressive me too alright dude thanks for calling bye hey these games are about to get really good yeah these next three it's Hey, these games are about to get really good.

Yeah. It's about to get really, really intense. Oh, wow, Jack, you're working it. No plan, but do see. The funniest comment was when Trish said this retired English teacher proud. Yes. If she's a retired English teacher. Hey, I'm willing to bet.

I'm willing to bet 500 bucks that that's not Trish. And Trish's real name is Bill. That seems way too specific. Way too specific. Yeah. Something's not right. I apologize for being so specific, but something's not right. A 15 inch log.

Okay, guys. It's time to work out. Everyone go work out. We don't have another individual event for many hours. Work out, have fun, relax relax get out in the sun and then we will be back here uh for a 5 10 p.m pacific standard time show i think that's 7 10 um central time caleb mike halpin i don't know how you got a link for this show but you seem to be like in now uh taylor self caleb i didn't have a shirt on he let me and he hooked you up uh suza hiller thanks for nothing you guys didn't make it through the whole show uh noble thanks for playing the heel
