Have you ever been the coach of an individual athlete in the elite division?
Starting point is 00:03:30 Yeah, the year Taylor and Jason went, I coached Jason because Jake was competing. Mark Coney was competing that same year. Oh, that's cool. Are you nervous at all about doing that with Rook? No, I'm- You feel pressure? Like you could say something wrong or fuck it up or not say the right thing or some shit like that? No, no, no.

I mean, Jake's Jake's there and he's, he's going to be there and he knows what to do with her and everything. I'm just going to kind of be there just in case they need anything. Hey, is, is Will Morad going to be there? He was in, uh, it was her, Will and Jake coached her at the games and they seem like a terrific duo
Starting point is 00:04:06 between the two of them like just really just kind of you know, as they say in the In the birthing community, they're really good at holding the space Yeah, I think they're like all three pretty good friends. I know Brooke and Will are good friends Do you know if he's gonna be there? I don't. I have no idea. Okay. Alright.
Starting point is 00:04:32 My little spine on Will Morad. Will Morad fitness project. John Young, good to have you buddy. Thank you. Good to be here. Tomorrow morning, 6am, we will do our picks for Event 1. We won't be doing that today The last show that we put people in levels was a complete shit show. So I thought we tried again
Starting point is 00:04:51 We're gonna put people in levels today But the pick show will be tomorrow at 6 a.m And then at 650 before we break off Adrian Bosman will be here for 10 minutes I'm always excited to have Adrian on I do want to do the one pick. So if everyone could pull out their phone, open up your phone. I'll get Bryson's like, where's my phone? And you're going to go to the Heat One app. You just, you just one finger down it. You one finger down it like this. And then you, and then you type in heat and then it should pop up the Heat one app and it'll be right here
Starting point is 00:05:27 Just like this I gotta update mine. It's been a while Same I was a little concerned about that So I opened mine a little bit before the show and it took me a second to figure this out But I think you have to put you have to go to leagues And then you go you go to leagues down here at the bottom and then you go to heat one shot caller And then everything kind of pops up here and it starters the name of the first workout. No, that's just where you're that's your picks essentially.
Starting point is 00:05:56 Like it can be replaced with the word picks. Okay, so that's for the overall winners. Yes, correct. Okay, so when I pick that I hit that and then this these are the people who voted so far they think James Sprague will win Teerawattapalooza, then Jeffrey Adler, then Ricky Gourard, then Austin Hattitoe. For event one. Oh. But I just thought you said that that was for the... If you're on Heat 1 shot caller, you're calling the events. Heat 1 top 10 is what you think is going to
Starting point is 00:06:25 happen in the whole competition. OK, so I guess I don't know how to do. Oh, OK, because it says one up there. That means I'm at that one. Yes. OK, OK. So I'm going to go in. I'm going to go in male right now. I'm going to pick male. That's the one. It has step ups in it. Everyone's picking James. I'm going to go ahead and pick Ricky. And then for the females, everyone's picking Emily because she won the step up at the games.
Starting point is 00:06:51 Oh man, she's a great runner and she's a good biker. She's got all three things. Okay, I'm going to pick Tia. I'm going to pick Tia. What is FLX? How come I don't see Tia? Flex. That means you can pick a guy or a girl. Tia's not competing. Oh, okay. I'll pick Alexis Raptus.
Starting point is 00:07:11 And then for Flex, what's that like, a second pick? Yeah, it can be a guy or a girl. Anybody who's competing. Okay, I'm going to flex on James Sprague. Wait, who is your male pick if you picked James Sprague as your flex? He picked Ricky. Ricky. Okay, that's a good one.
Starting point is 00:07:37 Ricky was going to win that event if he didn't get injured, right? Step up event? He was not in the running. No. No, Savon's talking about Chad. Yeah, he wasn not in the running. No, no. Seven's talking about Chad. Yeah, he wasn't in the running. Oh, yes, he was. Oh, yes, he was. No, he wasn't. He was winning it when he got hurt. No, he wasn't. Okay, I believe you. I tried. I tried. All right. We're laughing at Caleb. Caleb, did you see the picture I sent to the group with the saggy titties? Yeah, I saw it Just checking just seeing if I could change your opinion, I don't know you can consider those saggy but
Starting point is 00:08:17 Well, do that tomorrow. Well, yeah Well discuss we'll have a vote table that for later There are it can we bring up the list of athletes? We'll do the boys first. And John, I want to be very clear on this and Bryson and Jay are very clear. I want to put these people in tiers, three tiers and three tiers only. Ooh. Okay. Okay. Not based on who they're competing with at this event, but just overall
Starting point is 00:08:50 in the CrossFit world. You get what I'm saying? Okay. Is if they're in the CrossFit games? As if Tia's here and you know what I mean everybody if there's three tiers there could potentially be no one in the top tier I guess so saying I guess so we should discuss what the tiers are that's the one then that's the that's the what this show is where's the leaderboard for this bullshit oh I sent you a link there is no leaderboard it's just a list of names unless I said I send you the, I sent you a link on email here. I'll post it in the chat. I got it.
Starting point is 00:09:28 Okay. And the top corner would be the only thing. This is, dude, this is one thing. If you're running like an off season CrossFit competition, that's not part of the game season, make it so easy to find a leaderboard and find the list of athletes who are competing. And so many more people will be interested. I can never find the water blues leaderboard every single year and it just makes me not care.
Starting point is 00:09:48 They don't have like it's a comp corner but it's like buried and then it takes forever to update. Dude, God bless Brian spin. Literally. Yeah. Like no joke. It takes me longer than typing in the name of your competition to find your fucking bullshit. You suck. longer than typing in the name of your competition to find your fucking bullshit. You suck. Yeah, it is. Um, it is truly, uh, it's truly incredible.
Starting point is 00:10:11 There's, there's two things. Let me, let me go back a little bit and do a little more editorial. There's two things. Imagine this space without spin. Just imagine like, if he's like, fucking, you know, I'm going to retire. He, you know, he makes a good living. He's got a beautiful family, homeschools his kids. Imagine if he's like, fuck it, I'm gonna retire. He you know, he makes a good living He's got a beautiful family homeschools his kids imagine if he's like fucking I'm done with this And he left we'd be screwed and I just want to point out anything to any of the athletes crossfit games athletes who are listening
Starting point is 00:10:34 right now You should view crossfit as something that you are going to leverage to gain things from So think of crossFit as your wife. How do you treat your wife? You rub her back at night. When you see her get up to take out the trash, you go fucking take the trash out.
Starting point is 00:10:56 You make sure when you wash her clothes, you don't wash it with your dirty underwear that has skid marks on it. Like you go out of your way to treat it well. Cause you're trying to get a lot of years out of her. You're trying to love out of love out of her. You're trying to get the best out of her. Just, you are so lucky. You have this entity called CrossFit Games that you can leverage. So, so, so be nice to it. Love on it. Learn to leverage it. to it love on it learn to leverage it okay is that resonating with you guys yeah just leverage you treat it like you would treat anything you want to leverage
Starting point is 00:11:32 your car you see the check engine light go on you take it in okay um we're gonna put these guys in tears we'll go through through the names. We'll start with the boys. Uh, and we'll just, we'll just start fighting it out. Uh, here we go. Uh, Jeffrey Adler, tier one. Yeah. Is he competing?
Starting point is 00:11:56 We don't know. Okay. Is that why there's an asterisk? No, the asterisk is for games athlete. Oh, great. What has been to the games? Great question, great question Bryson And how I did hear that rumor on spin today. What did you get any more insight off air from spin? No, I mean and he doesn't have any more insight either and I've
Starting point is 00:12:17 There's like three different people have said that he's not competing individual, but he will be competing in teams So that means he's not competing individual, but he will be competing in teams. So that means he's not injured. I could just mean he's like dealing with something not injured, but like there's a movement pattern in an individual that's going to stress something out that he's kind of hurt and dealing with. You know, that's the only thing I can think of. I called this on spin like last week or the week before, didn't I? Pass that through Scott Vanderslut, please? Yeah, sorry. Oh, why did you call it? What did you see in it?
Starting point is 00:12:49 What did you see in this performance that concerned you? I said that him and Pat were gonna drop out because they looked at the registration and Declared it a super spreader event and weren't gonna show. Oh, oh, right. Okay. I heard that that was I just Scared of Austin. Oh, that's a good one too. JR, working with athletes. I'm not buying what John is saying. I'm thinking if he's injured, he pulls out of both. I mean, contractual obligations aside, like if he has to compete at certain competitions and it doesn't matter if it's individual or team, I think as a competitor, especially in this field,
Starting point is 00:13:30 if he doesn't feel healthy enough to win, I wouldn't expect him to try to compete. Can I ask why say you were going to compete in the first place? Is he not competing? then why say you were going to compete in the first place? Is he not competing? We don't, it's a rumor. But I'm saying why say you're going to and then not. Like if you know you're dealing with something then just say I'm not doing it.
Starting point is 00:13:56 I'm doing team, that's it. What kind of rumors are there? He signed up for an individual. Like why even sign up for individuals saying I'm going to do this? If you have you have that if you're gonna make that decision I mean I would think if he's gonna do one he's gonna do both so yeah but not everybody does Dallas doing team he's not doing individual why not just do that if you're kind of not being obligated why would you not just do that but I'm just saying
Starting point is 00:14:20 if he signed up for both I would expect him to do both or none at all if he's in. Oh, okay. Or why not sign up for both? Let me take the other side of that. John, why not sign up for both and then have the option until the last minute? I mean, that's just, I mean, I don't think that's a way to make fans. All right. Like, people want wanna see you compete.
Starting point is 00:14:45 It's like if people buy tickets to go see LeBron James and he doesn't tell anybody he's not playing until last minute, like that destroys that kid's dreams. And I know there's like less kids dreams in CrossFit, but people are coming to see Jeff Adler and then he just last second, oh, I'm not doing it. It's kind of doing them dirty, is it not? And you know, it's funny you say that I was asking someone the other day, why
Starting point is 00:15:07 the NBA following has dropped. Viewership has dropped 50%. And the person suggested to me is that the new players get some sort of vacation days and they don't announce beforehand what days they're going to take. So people will go see a team that they love coming from out of town and the players they want to see won't even be playing. I don't know if that's true or not, but someone was trying to explain that to me the other day.
Starting point is 00:15:29 This might be a hot take, but I think that John saying that Jeff is scared of Austin Hatfield. I don't know if he was saying that like joking wise or not, but I could honestly see it because Jeff is so concerned with things that only fans should be concerned about. Like Tia's not going to the games like, oh, I need to make sure I win this year because then it'll be my seventh title and then I'll just further solidify myself as like the fittest in history. She's just worried about winning in the moment. She's worried about doing what she can do in the moment to win. That's all she cares about. But Jeff is, you know, he's worried about Austin beating him here at Wadapalooza. So he's going to
Starting point is 00:16:08 pull out. He didn't do well in the first event at the games last year. So he pulled out in that documentary of 2020 when there was only five people at the ranch, you know, he's on camera like, guys, I don't care if it's me, but someone has to beat Matt. We can't let him win every event. Like all whining. It's like, dude, only fans has to beat Matt. We can't let him win every event like all whining. It's like, dude, only fans care about that stuff. You should not care about that stuff when you're out there on the floor. So I just think he's, I wouldn't be surprised
Starting point is 00:16:33 if he was pulling out because he saw the workouts. He was like, oh, Austin's gonna beat me. Wow, that's a real hot take, but with a lot of backing. Yeah, that was very eloquently put, Bryson. You're getting better at this. Are you, are you, are you, is the spin, is the spin cast going, doing a side commentary of Brian Friend's stream tomorrow? I believe so. I'm not so sure on the first one because I, again, I can't, I can't be there on the first
Starting point is 00:17:03 event but we are going to try to do a spin cast yeah okay so it's that will know it's 7 a.m. tune in to the spin cast at 7 a.m. they'll be commentating one of Palooza and and I'll remind you tomorrow and and we'll find out okay Adler tier one no one disagrees Tanner Balazs tier. Okay three Nicholas Benden three Okay, Nicholas William Bennett three. Do I know that? Well, do I know him William Bennett? I Don't think so, okay
Starting point is 00:17:38 All these dudes had to how did these dudes get here? They had to go through a qualifier. Mm-hmm Yeah, I trade on Bent, do I know him? He's done well on events before, but events not necessarily overall. He does well at Waterpalooza, or he at least always goes to Waterpalooza, right? He does. He always goes to Waterpalooza. He's very strong. I actually think he'll have a very good weekend for himself, but a very good weekend for him
Starting point is 00:18:03 is 16th place. Oh, this guy was at the West Coast Classic. And who this guy was at the West Coast Classic. Who's his coach? I don't know. I spoke to this dude. Who's this guy's coach? He trained with someone who's really good or his coach had someone who was really good,
Starting point is 00:18:26 I think who qualified. All right. Anyway, okay. Uh, who is it? It says you have scary. It's Abby. Abbey Dome is coach. Oh, okay.
Starting point is 00:18:40 Okay. Yeah. He was strong. Um, uh, Alex Carone. Tier two. Okay, so I just want to bring this up about Carone. There's going to be a bunch of guys I'm going to have the same spiel about. I think Carone, Yonakowski, Jack Farlow. We have no fucking idea who's going to show up. And I'm going to throw Alex Carone in that pile too. He's pretty hit or miss kind of a guy.
Starting point is 00:19:07 Yeah. Kaikei Cervini from South America. The top of tier three. That's exactly what I was going to say. He's been to the games. Yeah, but he's been in the games because he lives in Brazil. Okay. And a very strong guy, good crossfitter, but seems to show no athletic prowess
Starting point is 00:19:26 You talking about the zigzag run video? Yeah We should bring that back It's like watching a to Redwoods run a Luca Luca Jukic to to to a better than Caron I same same Same I same. Same tier athlete. Anola Kai. Tier two. Two. Okay, one more pep talk here, boys. Okay, you ready? We are approaching in 2025, 2025 or 26, the fourth generation of CrossFit Games athletes We had a OPT and Kalipa Speeler
Starting point is 00:20:11 Yeah, Speeler and then we went to I'll use the men and then and maybe I'll use some women here at the end And then we went through a second generation of athletes, you know, rich and Scott Graham Holmberg Matt Chan. I Would say they were still first Scott Pancik okay and the second generation I would say yeah Froning Pancik and then we went through a third generation you know Fraser Velner Ben Smith I throw Ben Smith back down into the second generation and I think that we're I think we're approaching a fourth generation we're gonna have a bunch of new guys, new people. It's gonna happen very quickly.
Starting point is 00:20:50 We're seeing people drop off like flies. And I have an argument that Enola Kai might be tier one fourth generation athlete. No. All right. He moves like shit. He moves like shit. He'll never be in tier one. Tier one for me i'm gonna say is like perennial top 10
Starting point is 00:21:15 God he's big dude. Yeah Gosh his upper body is so big compared to his lower body. He just looks like a guy that never does leg day Oh my did he almost fall? Yeah, he's not twice, three times. This isn't the greatest. But listen, he's ready for everything. Is he though? That's what his thing says, Caleb. I know, I'm just saying. So you're putting a Nolokai in Tier 2. Yeah, and I'm not as bent on him as Bryson is. I think he can improve and potentially be Top 10. I don't think that's out of his potential.
Starting point is 00:21:57 I don't think it's likely, but I don't think it's out of his potential. He would have to improve a lot, but I would say tier two for the time being. Okay. Really quick here, Mr. Howell, how's Hopper doing? Don't give us your bullshit, JR, that you don't coach him. I ad-libbed a little bit there, JR. We all know he cleans the toilets at Crash in lieu of coaching fees. Anthony, I'll feed you whatever I want.
Starting point is 00:22:25 First of all. No, yeah, Jason's doing great. I mean, I really, I'm not like as involved as I was like with Jake with his programming stuff so far since the games. Like I'd say two, three, maybe four days a week, I'll write him a workout or so. But I mean, he's pretty dialed in with just his stuff that he's doing. And I know he's looking forward to reps ahead tomorrow night against Allen.
Starting point is 00:22:54 That'll be cool to see them after the guys get done. But no, he's doing great. I'm asking him every day training, but and, and Hillary will be host. Hillary will be hosting that the no reps. They're going to do both, huh? They're going to compete on day one and do no reps No, they're not reps ahead and then they're doing team both of them are doing team. Okay Saturday Sunday
Starting point is 00:23:11 So I'll have a day in between two JR. Are you saying I'm reading through the lines here or between the lines but are you saying that since Mr. Hopper has moved from training at HWPO to brute that you've been you've put you've taken a little space from him? Yeah I mean I basically just told him hey I'm available to do whatever you need me to do as often as you need and Coachell needs me to do it and so like you know he'll text me and say hey I need a workout today with thrusters and muscle-ups and I'll send him a workout with thrusters
Starting point is 00:23:43 and muscle-ups and he'll do it it's, it's one of those things. It's not as every single day entering something in an app or anything like that. Okay. Uh, Jack Farlow, I was going to call him Sam quant 2.0, but that's too much of a compliment. Love Jack Farlow. Great guy. I don't think he's Sam quant at all. Uh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:24:01 Yeah. That was too much of a compliment. Sam quant I realize is in a different league, but, but Jack Farlow, complete unknown also, right? I wouldn't consider him an unknown, but not unknown as in personality, but his performance is unknown. We don't know which Jack Farlow is going to show up. He shit the bed at the semifinals. I mean, that was not Jack Farlow. Like, like we were expecting, we were two years ago. I think he made it to the games and last year we I think he made it to the games and last year we expect them to make it to the games and show up in even better shape.
Starting point is 00:24:28 I get the Sam Kwan comparison now. So we kind of, we were, we were thinking he would be like on the Cole gray shaver plan, right? Cole's getting better every year. We're one year away from talking about Cole pretty consistently. If he, if he, if he makes the, you know, improvement that he made from year one to year two at the games. But Farlo, we don't know who's going to show up. I didn't throw him in there with Yannick Oski and who is the other one in?
Starting point is 00:24:53 Carone. Yeah, I mean, I don't know what was going on with semifinals. He was not good. He was, but I don't, I have to think that something like he was sick or something because events that he should have done good in that are not fitness based. He said he knew he didn't do good in those either. And Jack's not the most aerobic athlete he's tried to be but he's not the most aerobic athlete and he's very, very strong and he didn't do good in
Starting point is 00:25:19 anything. It's every file semi file was a different person than I've ever seen. Was that the last time we saw him? I think so, yes. I think Jack's going to have a good weekend. I don't know like placement wise it's not going to be top five, but I think he's going to, there's going to be multiple events where he stands out, not just a lifting event. You think he's going to make it to the games this year? No.
Starting point is 00:25:46 Okay. TBD, uh, JR, if you could weigh in here, uh, Jack, uh, had, you know, arguably one of the most mysterious and best coaches around, uh, Emma, uh, Emma Lawson's coach and, uh, now he's not coaching them anymore. Uh, thoughts on how that might affect Jack and do we have any idea where he's gone for his programming? I don't have any idea. I think initially it was probably a big surprise for both of them.
Starting point is 00:26:12 And I guess maybe for Erica too, because I think she was being coached remotely. Folo? Right. But what's really, really interesting is, John can correct me if I'm wrong, and I know the programming really suited him, but it was this weekend last year that everyone looked at Jack and said he's about to make the biggest jump of his career because he went to Guadalupe
Starting point is 00:26:34 Luz and did amazing. He's really, really good at certain things like legless rope climb workouts. Obviously, he's really, really strong. I still think he would be a top three pick for the complex this weekend for the lifting event. But no, I think just looking down the leaderboard, for someone like Jack, I think this is a huge weekend to show everybody, like, hey, I'm still really, really fit and I'm still going to be around when you talk about game spots this season.
Starting point is 00:27:01 Or is he finished a little lower on the leaderboard? Yeah, but I the only reason why I it's not even his placement last year in Wadapalooza It was the run row swim workout. I believe like And maybe he's just a good swimmer and we didn't know about it But he was like seventh or eighth or something in that and that's that all that workout alone was like seventh or eighth or something in that and that's that all that workout alone. Like I thought, Oh, wow, he's gotten a robot capacity now that he can compete with the top guys, we know he's strong. He's going to take the leap because of that and that alone. And then in semi finals, there was no capacity
Starting point is 00:27:40 to be had in any facet. So it's funny that you brought that up because I is 100% true why everybody thought was on the Jack Farlow train. The only reason I don't think he'll make the games this year is just because it's so much tighter than it was last year. You're already down, he's not gonna make it online. He's not one of those people. So you're already down 11 spots or 12 spots,
Starting point is 00:28:02 however many it is. And then top two is really hard, man. It's really hard to do that. Yeah, I think though, I mean, me and Bryson did it, sorry to interrupt you so long. Me and Bryson did it with Taylor and with you, John, when we went through and we kind of made picks for the women. We did the week before with the men,
Starting point is 00:28:21 where we kind of made some predictions. And I still think that like, we'll know the mayhem roster, at least some of it here pretty soon. I think they're making athlete announcements on their Instagram right now. And then we know that a lot of the heavy hitters are still gonna make it online with those 11 spots.
Starting point is 00:28:40 I still think someone like Jack could go to, because he'd be in the East, right? So could go to Syndicate or something like that and take one of those two spots, depending on the program. So I think mayhem is going to be a bloodbath. I think mayhem is going to be like the people that are signing up for mayhem and how they're going to go about it. Like you already have Roman, Dallin and Hopper.
Starting point is 00:29:02 I know if they invite Austin after this that he's gonna go to that like there's just gonna be so many heavy hitters at Mayhem that just take two spots and the two people that don't like those people are going to go to syndicate. We know two of the heavy hitters are gonna take them though it's not just gonna be someone we don't know. Right but say it's Roman and Dallin. Hopper's going to syndicate right and then there qualifying online right but like I just think it it would be an uphill battle like I would be surprised if he did is all I'm saying you're saying he's gonna have to go he's gonna have to go to a semi-final where he gets home runs like
Starting point is 00:29:40 two or three home runs yeah I think he's gonna have to get lucky with the programming and it would still be an uphill battle unless he like finds one that nobody goes to. And like, you know what I'm saying? And if he does that good for him, but like if he goes to Asia and our straw or Australia and nobody's there, then obviously maybe his fitness can prevail then, but I just think it's going to be really, really hard. With syndicate and mayhem. And I mean, honestly, NorCal is gonna be a mosh pit
Starting point is 00:30:06 of talent too. Yeah, it sounds like it. And if it is experience, it's not allowed to. Is it Mayhem, Online, and then Syndicate? It's Mayhem, the Spain one, the one in Spain, Magal. Right, but just ones that someone in the East would realistically go to. Oh, just Mayhem, and then it's online and
Starting point is 00:30:27 Then and then you have said indicate anybody can do norcal anybody can do Australia And I'm pretty sure correct me if I'm wrong anybody could do Asia After that, you know, it's just relegated No, I think you're right this Africa's relegated. UAE and Africa, right? Anybody can do Australia, anybody can do Asia. Syndicate, Mayhem. Anybody can do Asia? After that, that's it.
Starting point is 00:30:54 And then there's NorCal. Yeah, but so someone like Hopper, like you said, he would qualify online before Syndicate. I don't think that's a given. So there'll be no chumps at the Games this year except from Africa? Yeah, man. Oh, Brazil. But I guess like if you say he's not a chump, I would put him in the chumpish category, but-
Starting point is 00:31:15 He has to make it to- Yeah. Seve's drugs are kicking in. I do wanna say this about real quick, just about the mayhem thing. Hopper is better this year and Roman has backslid. So don't forget that when you when you got when you got Dallin and in Roman in there for first place. Could be a whole other show but remember Roman won't be as good as last year and Hopper will be better.
Starting point is 00:31:36 Okay you can throw Hopper and Dallin in there and fine but then then it's Roman at Cinda Kitt. You take Jack Farlow over Roman. Like you can put you can put any name you want in there. There's gonna be a lot more of them. Like I'm not saying Jason like Jason's not gonna do that. But okay, just say okay. Okay. That's good. Good. Yeah, you're just example. Okay, Jack Farlow, where would you take them? Tier two,
Starting point is 00:32:03 here to Jack Farlow into the games you take them? Tier two. Tier two, Jack Farlow. Been to the games. You got a Cervénian three and Jack Farlow in two. Moritz Fiebig. Tier two. Been to the games a bunch of times. Great attitude, strong European competitor. Always surprising people. Did pull out last year with some mental challenges after Lazar Jukic's
Starting point is 00:32:25 death. You got him in tier two huh? I say tier three. No I'm more into tier two. No dude. JT you only think that he's tier two because he's European. I'm not Brian Fran-Bri-Pri-son. Yeah I'm not saying I'm not saying you like Europeans more I'm just saying you're used to seeing him compete against Europeans and not against people. Yeah, but those are tier one athletes. Tier two to me is that you can make the games. Your games fit. I think these games fit. JR, tiebreaker. Tier two. If I was Pedro I would give you points though. Mr. Del Monte. Definitely points. This should be a point show then. That was some good facts and some good dirt slinging. That was pretty good. Dogo Freitas. Tier three. Dogo Freitas. There's no way. I mean how could you not right you can't call him Diogo Diogo Diogo
Starting point is 00:33:28 Dogel Freitas tier three, where's he from? I never heard that name South America do they have the Mexican division this year water pelusa last year They just had one they do just for okay. Yeah, I'm pretty sure I'm pretty sure elite and lad am are all going together on event one. So they're doing a heat of 60 Wow Okay, Ricky Gaye Rard That's your one Would love to see mr. Del Monte argue that one
Starting point is 00:34:00 Ricky Gervais Josh Gervais Tier three do I know who that is? It's Ricky Gervais, Josh Gervais. Tier 3. Do I know who that is? It's Ricky Gervais' brother. Are these anyone's I've seen on KillTaylor or Crash or at semi-finals? No. Josh Gervais, he might have been in semi-finals one year. Let me effort that. The name is familiar.
Starting point is 00:34:23 Lago Giraldez. Tier 3. Are these foreigners? I've heard that the name is familiar. Lago Giralde's tier three. Are these foreigners? Yeah, I wonder if he's competing or not. I know he had a tie with TTT back in the day. I remember him being on one of CTP's videos, but I think he's from somewhere in South America. And I think he's like 6'6, 6'7. Oh my God.
Starting point is 00:34:42 That's that guy. Yeah, I know. So he would be somebody. You know, everybody's the hot, one of the hot topics has been about the jump ropes. It'd be interesting to see if it affects him, if he's there. What's the deal with the jump ropes? I think they are only going to have three different sizes to choose from. And you know, if your height doesn't, isn't ideal for one of those three sizes,
Starting point is 00:35:05 you just gotta make it work. Oh, and you're saying that you could make ropes shorter, but you can't make ropes longer. Oh, he is huge. Correct. But all the ropes are too big anyway, right? Yeah, I wanna say like 108 inches maybe is the longest one. Yeah, that's massive.
Starting point is 00:35:21 Which isn't crazy long. Yeah, which is that isn't isn't crazy long like Jason uses the 100 inch cable for rogue so I mean he's like 6'1 so we're talking about someone five or six inches taller So why not give all the athletes ropes the night before and then they can just do whatever the fuck they want to them I don't think it's I think it's a matter of logistics. I'm pretty sure that every division like in some capacity or using these ropes and there's like 1200 competitors. Like they're going to be using the same ropes throughout a lot of different stages. So it's reasonable that they can't just give one to every single person.
Starting point is 00:35:59 Well, how about just the elite? Yeah. Right. I mean, how many elite athletes are there? 86. Yeah, give each each athlete their two ropes, in case they fuck one up. Take it back to your room. Resize it. Work with it. How important it is to use your own rope? How much could that affect a change of place or a change in someone by not having a, I guess, I guess they know this is a sponsor. So they've had time to go out and buy these ropes.
Starting point is 00:36:29 Yeah. I mean, I think they've been on the sponsor list for, for a while. Okay. So it's on the athletes. If you can't use that as an excuse. Yeah, I think it'll be fine. I mean, it seems like all this, I mean, we don't even know if that guy's going to compete, I feel like there's a lot of people on this list who may not even be
Starting point is 00:36:46 Why do you say that? Because there are always people that can't travel or show up at the last minute. Oh, okay All right, you think because of Trump's new New laws or anything that people aren't gonna be able to get into the United States Now I think a lot goes legit Okay, I don't think any of them run across the border, but great question, Caleb. Hey, sometimes you got to swim there. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:37:09 Austin Hatfield, John's boyfriend. Not ironically, his name means lake in Spanish. It's a boom swimmer. Austin Hatfield and Geraltis means get over. That'd be amazing if that were true. Wow. Well done, John. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:37:30 That was good. Austin Hatfield. He's tier one for me. Yeah, I think one. One's fair. We all just saying that because John's just been sucking him off this whole time. How do you do last year at the games? Where do you place?
Starting point is 00:37:42 10th place. That's good. Joshua Hong. three, three, two or one. Hey, yeah, that is a tier one name. Yeah. The name, the name was, but threw me off. That's why I was Josh hung.
Starting point is 00:37:57 Not, uh, Tom King, dong tier three, tier one, Tom King, dong. These people, these people, Tom King did, uh, Yonakoski,'re one. Tom King Dom. These people. Tom King did. Yonakoski another one. Like man who is gonna show up? Yeah. I think he's still. He's one. I think he's tier one too but who's gonna show up?
Starting point is 00:38:11 He's young still guys. He's not even I don't even think Yonakoski is 30. Yeah he started with God. Yeah but what happened at semi-finals was the only time that it's not like that's like oh the last three times we've seen him. He's not even 30. He's not even 30. He's not even 30.
Starting point is 00:38:24 He's not even 30. He's not even 30. He's not even 30. He's not even 30. Hekowski is 30. Yeah, he started with God. Yeah, but what happened at semi-finals was the only time that it's not like that's like, oh, the last three times we've seen him, he's not doing what he's supposed to do. It's like, it was so out of left field. What happened? I think that's true. I don't think it's true.
Starting point is 00:38:39 It is true. Say again. Where's that argument for Pat then? What do you mean? Well, you're saying we can't base it off of one semi-finals performance. It's true. Say again. Where's that argument for Pat then? What do you mean? You're saying we can't base it off of one semifinals performance. So you're basing Pat's off of a performance at road.
Starting point is 00:38:54 What do you mean? How am I doing that? You're basing his decline off of that. I'm basing it off the games too, brother. Everybody said he was gonna podium last year and I said he was gonna be fourth place. He's never gonna podium ever again. Pat's done. He's on the game. I'm not going to play it. I'm not going to play it. I'm not going to play it. I'm not going to play it. I'm not going to
Starting point is 00:39:08 play it. I'm not going to play it. I'm not going to play it. I'm not going to play it. I'm not going to play it. I'm not going to play it. I'm not going to play it. I'm not going to play it. I'm not going to
Starting point is 00:39:16 play it. I'm not going to play it. I'm not going to play it. I'm not going to play it. I'm not going to play it. I'm not going to play it. I'm not going to play it. I'm not going to play it. I'm not going to
Starting point is 00:39:24 play it. I'm not going to play it. I'm not going to play it. I'm not going to play it. I'm not going to play it and not podium again at water Palooza unless Jeff pulls out Then it'll get third place and still say I'm still got it Like Pat and I don't even know if Pat's in the decline I think people are just getting fitter than him But he I I take that back because he's not as fit as he was in 18. No, that's not Listen, so John a point in your category Yonakowski took sixth place But after all the heavy hitters in 2023 the CrossFit Games But I feel like prior to that there were a few years where he was hit and miss and now we're at miss again
Starting point is 00:39:56 Yonah's always been Would you say hit and miss at the games is that what you're referencing or even making it to the games? Hasn't he missed a year or two here and there? No, that was from injury though. It wasn't his performance. He's never performed bad when he was out there. Okay. Do we know anything about him? Is he healthy? Is he good? He never does good at Rogue. I don't know anything.
Starting point is 00:40:21 One year at Rogue, he had to pull out after the first event, right? Yeah, but he's never done something always. JR had to pull out after the first event, right? Yeah, but I'm saying he's never done right something always JR. Do you know if he's healthy or not? don't Holy shit JR. I know real what's going on JR. I know I know what the fuck is going on JR. I know There's a reason why I've been really really squirmy and maybe a little bit more Tumorous than I normally am a little uncomfortable around can they hear you?
Starting point is 00:40:50 Absolutely, okay Is that some sort of skin treatment or is that a Mental illness I do not know face mask. That's a face mask. That looks like a scary movie What the fuck is Have you seen house of wax JR? Can I pull it up JR gives me those vibes? Yeah, you got to pull that up and we got to figure out what is women in the chat to chime in and find That's got to be some sort of skin treatment. Yeah, do that. I was gonna ask my wife Should I be worried I was gonna text her and say should I be worried? This looks this is scary, dude
Starting point is 00:41:27 How many feet away from you is this, JR? 10? Less? More? 30. 30. It's my line of sight. It's right over my computer. Wow, that's impressive.
Starting point is 00:41:37 Okay. Are any females weighing in? Cause I want to know what's going on here. Guys, we're taking a break here to talk to the chat a little bit. If people could jump in. Uh, here's a Pedro mud. Viola says Yoni is ready and win a couple of events. That's cause Adrian and Yonar are boys.
Starting point is 00:41:54 Like they're, they're good friends. Adrian also said he was prepared to win the games one day and he's, and he's not. Yeah. I told everyone Taylor was going to win the at semi-finals last year, so. But Mudviler is an honest dude, he tells it how it is. Oh, that's a disposable face mask. What kind of face mask? What do you mean it's a mask?
Starting point is 00:42:13 What kind of mask? You mean like for like skincare or for like? Skincare, it's exfoliating, you know? I'm gonna go to the bathroom where y'all are analyzing that, is that okay? Okay, yeah, please. Oh, it's a Korean skin mask for skincare Okay, okay
Starting point is 00:42:28 We should ask Alexis Alexis Hiller remember when airports used to be cool and everybody dressed up real nice and Traveled well now everybody just comes in their pajamas and looks like piece of shit I Actually think I actually thought that that... yeah, alright. Alright, thank you. That was a great little break right there. Okay, back to the list here. So Yonokoski, I think we agree regardless of who's showing up. He's tier one, but we're getting information from Mudviler that he's good to go.
Starting point is 00:43:03 Alexis Koutoulis. Three, Alex. mudveiler that uh he's good to go uh alexis katulis three alex alex thank you uh yeah he's he's borderline two three for me like he's made the games i think he's probably still tier two all right we'll uh circle back and ask john but i'm gonna put him in tier two. All right. We'll circle back and ask John, but I'm going to put them in tier two. Uh, I don't, I didn't like the way John talked about this next guy, uh, on the show, on the spin cast, uh, max Greek max is legit. I was going to put max in the bottom tier two. Hmm. He used to be a mill guy.
Starting point is 00:43:40 So, so I'm going to suck him off because he was a mill guy. Are you okay with him in tier two? Yeah. You were in the military military Caleb. Yeah, if you didn't know Just so you guys know I served people Dude dude, you're sending my love sending my love, bro. You're you're welcome for my service Setting my love, bro. You're welcome for my service Okay, uh alex uh tier two, uh max greg tier two, uh harry lightfoot. I didn't like the way he was being treated either
Starting point is 00:44:14 I think that's a tier one guy Tier one Yeah I say he's tier two. Yeah games athlete. He's british Up there. Okay tier one. Tier two, I mean. Uh, uh, John. Yes. Oh, we got Alex in two, Max Krieg in two. I don't want to hear shit. I didn't like the way he talked about Max Krieg.
Starting point is 00:44:34 You better put some respect on his name. Uh, Harry Lightfoot, uh, two. I think Harry can be in one. I would put all three of those guys in three. No shit. Are you crazy? I wanted to put Alex in three, but I put Max in the bottom of two. I too is games material. Okay. Okay. And you can play it hairy live puts the only one that has an argument just because he's been there. But I would like him to make it more than once to prove it's not a fluke. Um, but if we're talking about just them ranking gets everybody else in the world,
Starting point is 00:45:10 we're not talking about water, Palooza. We're just talking about everyone in the world, how fit they are. Then where you're from plays a huge factor in being if you make it. No, no, correct. Correct. That's why I said I'd put them in three. I'm saying he's the only one who has an argument okay so are you okay with that jr harry lightfoot uh i'm moving alex katulas out
Starting point is 00:45:32 of uh tier two and max krieg out of tier two moving to tier three now we're at harry lightfoot are you cool with that jr yeah i'm cool with that uh and harry lightfoot where would we stick him i would put him in three And Harry Lightfoot, where would we stick him? I would put him in three. If he makes it again this year, you put him in two? I mean, I was the consistency factor with it. Yeah, I would. Well, do we know what he played?
Starting point is 00:45:57 Let me see what place he took in the games this year. I know it doesn't mean much to some of you. Where's my Ed CrossFit Games leaderboard page? What year was last year? 2024? Yeah, that is 2024. Games, CrossFit Games, individual men, James won, Quant took six. What do you think he took? He was 21st. Oh, you're right. Oh, yeah. Okay. Tier three. But like he beat he beat Caron. He beat Cole Sager. He beat Jackst. Oh, you're right. Oh, yeah. Okay tier three, but like he beat he beat Caron He beat Cole Sager. He beat Jack Rosamond. So do you want to move Caron down to change? Like you're saying you think Max Krieg is fitter than him. I think Jack Rose. Yes better than Max Creek me too
Starting point is 00:46:36 Okay, I think Jack Rosamond is here too But I'm what I'm saying is you think Max is fitter than Harry Lightfoot. Harry Lightfoot beat Jack Rosamond. Who said that? This game's the past year? This game's. And I know it's like a rough data point, but it is a data point still. Dude, you don't even think James is the fittest man on earth. I said it's a rough data point.
Starting point is 00:47:00 All right, so Harry Lightfoot should be in three and Max Creek should be in two. I think they all should be in three. I think they all, all of them being in three is the closest thing that we'll get to agreeing. Okay. So what about, let me go back to Alex Carone. Do you want to move Carone down to three? No, Carone's two. He's just on the deep line. Yeah, yeah, I think, I think if I, if I think you're gonna have to put him in three, buddy. I mean, he, he, let me tell you who beat him at the games. Harry Lightfoot, Kaelum, Chris Sibara, Enola Cod. Who beat him two years before that.
Starting point is 00:47:38 Cold Creek. Okay. All right. So Harry Lightfoot, tier three. Sorry, Harry. Okay. Um, Miko, Miko Orgman. Three.
Starting point is 00:47:51 Three, okay. Miko. What did you say his last name was? Orgman or something. Lily. Gui, Gui Marjeros. Tier 2. Any pushback from anyone? A6. A26. A26. here to any pushback from anyone a6 a26 you okay James next year 26 yeah my
Starting point is 00:48:13 flight gate just got changed and I'm have PTSD that it's just gonna get delayed again or canceled let me just check with you all you guys here you're saying the gma heroes that Yonakowski, Austin Hatfield, Ricky Gerard, and Jeff Adler are better than Guy Malharo? Yes. Okay. Federico Marar. Federico.
Starting point is 00:48:33 Three. So anyone whose name I can't say is tier three? Pretty much. Pedro Martins. Three. Where are these guys coming from? The border. Nick Matthew.
Starting point is 00:48:51 Three. I would say two. And I know Bryson's going to argue it, but I would say two. Another guy we don't know who's going to show up. Another one. Correct. We do know who's going to show up. Nick Matthew, and he just sucks now. I don't
Starting point is 00:49:06 think you can. I don't think you can put someone that in the last three years has won an event at the CrossFit Games in three. I agree. I think just because Nick Matthew didn't do anything at crash doesn't mean you can put him at three. What did he win
Starting point is 00:49:21 the speed? That was a game shot that was passing. Yeah. And then he and then he lost to Guy on the sandbag ladder by a game shot. That was passable. And then he lost to Guy on the sandbag ladder by like what a tenth of a second? No, it was a tie, right? And then they went to the hundredth of a second and he lost by that. So he just figured out how to do crossover double unders before anyone else figured it out and he's strong. And he made it. He had to get there. Yeah, and he couldn't do it again.
Starting point is 00:49:48 He doesn't want to stand up all the way. Okay, so neither does Pat Velner. You're gonna put Pat Velner in too because he doesn't stand up all the way? I'd like to. Well, then you'd be wrong. Get over your high horse. He moves like he moves.
Starting point is 00:50:02 He's fitter than Taylor is. He can make the games and Taylor can. Wow. John, it's get off your high horse. What did he say? What did he say? Get over your high horse. Get over that.
Starting point is 00:50:16 Nick Matthew isn't fit anymore. Nick Matthew, I don't think would be anywhere close to qualifying for the games. I, uh, I don't think would be anywhere close to qualifying for the games. I don't disagree with you, but what he has done in the past, I think you should give it like... You just said that Tier 2 was games material. And he is! He was! I will give him Tier 2 based on his accomplishments. Would you put Matt Chan in Tier 2?
Starting point is 00:50:47 No. Right. And Nick Matthews fucking Matt Chan just stronger. Nick Matthews is fucking Matt Chan. He's the he's the inverse of Matt Chan. Oh, I was only half listening. So I think so like give it a another year of him not doing anything and then I'll be on your side. But I will give him the benefit of a doubt for a year. Hey, so you know what show would be cool to do? Do a comps show. And all you do is do the comp like you said, there's been four generations, you have to every you have to comp someone from the first generation to like, generation three or four. Like to me, like, like to me, Blair Morrison has been while Boulanger and like Nick
Starting point is 00:51:29 Matthew is Matt Chan, like just comps, like who is there? Wow. Who's their athlete? It'd be fun. Christopher is Nick for he that's it. I mean, that's a pretty good one. Wow. Who would Nick Urenkar be? Robbie Lando. Phil Tune.
Starting point is 00:51:51 I'll go a generation down from Nick Urenkar. I'll just keep on. Generation down. Okay. So where are we putting Nick Matthew? Hey, all the comments agree with me on Nick Matthew. So we can just Yeah.
Starting point is 00:52:03 I mean, these clients are and ignore them when they're not agreeing with me. Like that dude, he was we can just yeah like that dude he was 14th at the games and then he was 19th at the games and you're saying he is not tier two yes that's what i'm saying i think i disagree i think bryson gets to overrule it why i'm the guest bro i've been on the show the least why would he get to overrule it? Oh, the chair is voting. That's J.R.'s passive way of voting for Q3. I mean, listen, J.R. is a tie rake. It's because I'm not eating waffles right now, John.
Starting point is 00:52:32 I'm not either. I'm done with him, Bryson. So now, just so you know, so now we have an, let me just, let me just pull this out. Bryson just hates all strong people. You know, you've got to move real good and you've got to be not strong and then Bryson will like you. So now we have a we have a at least two we have three athletes who went to the games in tier three. Kaiki Cervani, Harry Lightfoot, Nick Matthew.
Starting point is 00:52:56 Let me just check this too. Are you saying that Jack Farlow, Anola Kai, Luca Jukic, Alex Caron, Moritz Moritz five big and Gima heroes are better than Nick Matthew Yes, I would take all those people above dick Matthew Shit, he just gave you some love for their Bryson Nick Matthew is the bottom of tier two knocking on the door of tier three Okay, you got out voted there. Sorry Travis Mayer It's Matthew tier three tier two for Travis Mayer. Nick Matthew tier 3.
Starting point is 00:53:25 Tier 2 for Travis Mayer? Has he ever been topped into the game, Sevan? Ever? No, but he's... Let me just say this real quick. Let's go back to Nick Matthew. Didn't you just say JR that Nick Matthew won 3... has won 3 individual events at the games?
Starting point is 00:53:39 No, like he's won 1 and almost one two. Travis Mayer really Tier 2, huh? You think at Jack Farlow, he belongs with Jack Farlow and Ola Kai, Luka Jukic, Alex Karom, Moritz Vibig and Gui Malheros? Yeah, I mean, he's on the upper end of Tier 2, but yeah, he's not proven. You think he's games material right now? Yes. I think he could still make the games. Yeah. Who? Mayor Travis Mayor? Yeah. You know, are you Travis Mayor for tier three? I was getting ready to do it. Hey, he was he was he was 13th last year. I was really surprised because
Starting point is 00:54:22 I thought we were about to argue over whether he's two or three and then when seven was surprised you weren't putting him in one I was like oh no I'll take John's back when he's going to. Hey J.R. what's going on when they move gates do they change your time. Only about like 90 minutes. Later. Correct. Holy shit we can go all night ladies and gentlemen gentlemen, Marathon Show with JR Howell.
Starting point is 00:54:47 Okay. Marcus. So Travis is in tier two. Marcus. Two is tier three, right? Marrera. I don't think Travis Mayer's games material that I don't think he'll ever make the games again.
Starting point is 00:54:59 But that is just that one's not really based in anything we've seen, besides just like Instagram videos and shit. Nick Matthew, you know, couldn't even have a good finish at crash, that was like pretty top heavy. I don't, I seriously, I don't even know if Travis is gonna make a run for it this year when they're only taking 30. I mean, there's gotta be at some point
Starting point is 00:55:22 when you're like, fuck, why? Saxon Pancik. Tier two. Yeah. Is he the best guy in tier two? Maybe. No. Samuel Paquin. Tier three. Sammy. Luke Parker. Tier two. That's your Nick Urencar comp right there. Okay I like it. But better right? He's better he's better Nick as a CrossFitter overall CrossFitter. I'm thinking about yeah. He's he's he's around it for sure. Rude on pot.
Starting point is 00:56:08 Guider. Pot guy. I have no three three. Yeah, yeah. Ruan. That's a that's a crazy name. Brandon Schnipper. But John has been to the games, bro.
Starting point is 00:56:20 Ruan. Oh, it's Kai Ike, brother. Hey, I know. I know I'm ranking these people based on fitness. You're the one who's saying rank two is games material. Yeah, but like, like, usually games material like on our any given year now when that has everything to do with where you live. Now I we're agreeing on this. You're trying to fight me like I said tier
Starting point is 00:56:44 three on ruin. Yeah, well, I need to I need to stay awake. So I need to get my adrenaline up and I know I need to stop it I don't know how I got in the habit of doing it. I hate it every time I say it too No, it's fine. It's very Hulk Hogan of you and your Hulk Hogan ask a Brandon shipper Tier three. Hey, this guy is the strength specialist on another grid league team, so I'm gonna be going against him. So three. So three. Okay. Yeah, all great athletes are that's just put here. James Bragg. The number one. The number one. The reigning champ. The fittest man on earth. John's about to say John's about to say he's number 1 of tier 2.
Starting point is 00:57:25 No, he's tier 1. Good. Tier 1. He's tier 1. Do you really have some issues with that, John? No, I don't. I said tier 1. You think he's better than Guy Malheros?
Starting point is 00:57:40 I do, 100%. He had that hot take grin on his face. I thought he was about to say something. No, he's tier 1. He's tier 1. I just had to go through it a little bit. He's better than 100% Okay, uh george sterner three Another games athlete team. Oh, oh really you get an asterisk even if you went team Yeah, okay, that doesn't count. Okay. That doesn't count. We have, that doesn't count. We gotta talk to spin about that. Pat Valner. Uh, we have no idea who's
Starting point is 00:58:11 going to show up. I think we know exactly who's going to show up. Okay. He's nuts. He's a tier one. I think Pat's tier two now. Oh, I'll take it. I'll run with it. He's not like Bryson. He's tier one guys. You think that's ridiculous, JR? Very. That's not ridiculous to say that. That's not ridiculous. Listen, I think he was, I think he was tier one for 10 years and I think something has just left him. Yep. Tier one. I think Velner's even a little like Velner's reads this kind of senior status where he's almost even a little embarrassed to be like, he's hanging out with kids now, little can you, can you read with the house you gone? It reminds me of the year at the games when Josh had no one there.
Starting point is 00:59:04 I think it was Josh. Yeah, but the difference is Josh was 33rd place with no one there. Right, but it was just... The only person talking to him was you. There becomes a point where you're just... It's weird when you go to the arcade. It shouldn't be like that at the CrossFit Games, but it just is a little bit. It's like when you're 52 and you're still making the behind the scenes.
Starting point is 00:59:29 It's just a little weird. Speaking of which, that will be coming out in the next few weeks. Okay, let me ask you this. Okay, what if he doesn't finish top 10 this weekend? He's going to be fourth place, Seba. Okay. What if he doesn't finish top 10 this weekend? He's gonna be fourth place, Seba. Okay, but if he doesn't? Okay, go ahead. Is he tier two?
Starting point is 00:59:54 No, he's still tier one. Oh Jesus, what's it gonna take? What's it gonna take, Jesus, buddy, for you to realize that he's a supernova, dude. He exploded last year. He was a star and now he's it's a respect factor ah okay it's emotional that's what you're saying John no it's emotional for you guys I respect his resume no it's can we just can we just I respect everyone here too but here too Jack Farlow the future Anola Kai Kai, Luca Jukic, Alex Carone, Moritz Fiebig,
Starting point is 01:00:31 Gimel Heros, Luke Parker, Saxon Panczek, and Travis Meier. Yeah, but Pat at the top of tier two. Those guys are not the same. I think if Saxon's in tier two, Pat should be in tier two. What has Saxon done to say anything with that? Saxon is in tier two. Saxon is in tier two. What has Saxon done to say anything with that? Saxon is in tier two. Saxon is in tier two. He's what?
Starting point is 01:00:48 That's what I'm saying. So, Velner should be there with Saxon. No. Hey, I'm not trying to disrespect Patty. He's been fucking epic forever, but he's waned. This whole entire tier system is a farce if you do not put Pat Belner in tier 1.
Starting point is 01:01:07 Wow, that's threatening. You should sign the petition. You're threatening. Hey guys, don't put me in the petition, guys. Okay? Like, I don't know, man. I don't know, man. Stop it.
Starting point is 01:01:18 Hey, you got JR. That's what, John, you're making decisions based off emotions. It's not on, it's not emotion. I'm saying if you don't- On the past, the glory years. If Pat is not in tier one, I don't know why I'm here to even have an opinion. You are, but you're stuck in,
Starting point is 01:01:33 you and JR are stuck in the glory years. I understand. Sport has moved on, fourth generation. Okay, but we'll put him in tier one. He's in tier one, he's up there. Okay, let me just ask you this, one more question. In the tier one guys, Adler Ricky Gerard Austin Hatfield Yonakowski James Sprague Pat Valners Pat the bottom or in the middle
Starting point is 01:01:51 or yeah he's in he's in he's in the base is he better than Yonakowski? He's better than Yonacoski. Okay. After last weekend. Okay, Connor Volts. Connor Volts. That's got to be tier three. Don't know who he is. Great last name. John Wood. Tier three.
Starting point is 01:02:16 He's a trip. That dude's a trip. That dude's a trip. That's Jason Carroll 2.0. Great comp. Thank you. Thank you. Woo from JR. That is good. That is his boss. That is a Carroll 2.0 great call. Thank you. Thank you Jr. Likes this game. This is like it's like Enrico Zanoni is Jeff Patzer
Starting point is 01:02:39 No, I oh shit. Oh Shit, I was like, I don shit. Oh shit I was like, I don't know who that is on his that guy was a midget dude Or maybe car caddy No No, you know who Enrico Sinone is he's What's that? What's Hillers, but buddy? The guy used to bang catrin street Horner street Horner 2.0
Starting point is 01:03:09 Tier 3 Poor Zanoni So now the tier 3 that was supposed to be not games materials filled with games athletes cool John That makes well done. Thanks for letting us understand your thought process John you were really good at that yeah and a fucking old cripples in tier one here one guys tomorrow we'll make our picks Jeff Adler Pat Velner Ricky Gerard Austin Hatfield Yonokovsky James Sprague tier two Jack Farlowlow, Enola Kai, Luka Jukic, Alex Karon, Moritz Fabig, Guy Malheros, Luke Parker,
Starting point is 01:03:50 Saxon Pancik, and Travis Mayer. Hey, before we switch to the women, this is gonna be, it is gonna be fun to see how Luka does and Enola Kai does. I'm more interested to see how these guys do. Jack, Enola Kai, Luka, Luke Parker, and Saxon more so and I guess Austin Hatfield. I'm pretty excited to see how those guys do.
Starting point is 01:04:12 I think Luke is going to show out. Luke Parker? Yeah. God, that would be awesome. But you probably did, you went to Bible camp with him last week or something. So you're probably all up in the show. I think a lot of the events stack up really good for him. You guys probably exchange Psalms every morning. You guys are both new dads. New ish. I know yeah I don't the mayhem
Starting point is 01:04:32 people they don't like barbell spin people. John you're really a new dad. Luke's not like really a new dad. We are going on six days. Yeah John like still has like clothes shit around his house He saw us to open and like like the baby's gonna be four months old and he's like, oh we have a diaper warmer Some just think about oh 18 more years of that. I would say you're a seasoned a seasoned dad now John six days is a while Mm-hmm All right. Let's look at the ladies is the ladies. Jared ladies class better or worse than the men. I Ladies is the ladies, Jared ladies class better or worse than the men?
Starting point is 01:05:06 I would say equal. I think I think it's pretty well rounded from top to bottom on the men and women. I think there's top head or star power at the top. There's names that are like borderline games, people names. And then there's, you know, names nobody knows. For the first time, I can't think of another time in Guadalupe Luzo where the men and women feel equal in talent. Usually the men always outweigh the women by a lot. Haley Adams, this show is boring tonight. She asked if she should also get a breast reduction. I'm just gonna say no right off the bat.
Starting point is 01:05:43 No, that's a different Haley Adams. I'm just gonna say no right off the bat. So no, that's that's a different hair there No, no, she asked right there. Oh She no, no shows are as good as the morning shows well here we go here we go never mind she said oh I would never That's the Australian Haley But that's the real Haley Adams picture Australian Haley. But that's the real Haley Adams picture. Okay, the women, Jared, any thoughts on the women's comp? Is it as competitive as the men's more so? It's competitive. I think it's loaded. Okay, loaded. Okay. Jessica Androsik. Oh, I like her. Tier 3. Tier 3? Yeah. But I know her name.
Starting point is 01:06:27 Yeah, it's because she can do 50 strict handstand pushups in like 40 seconds. Because she's the same size as you except probably got 50 pounds on you. This is the female Colton Mertens, right? It's what she's been called. Okay, uh, Kaitlyn Bernardin. Tier 3. Uh, so can Jessica win an event here? No, Caitlin Bernadine could sleeper sleeper event one winner. Yeah
Starting point is 01:06:54 No shit She won the first event in North America West semifinal The 800 meter five rounds 800 meters 10 clean and jerks 125 she's the one when I was at the one the one I was that and Carson yeah correct she she won that pool boy said that she was going to win it nobody listened to him and then she freaking did and then she said he said that she was gonna win event three and she was like 37 place so but she can run She's very aerobic She can run with the best people. She's a dark horse for a bit one
Starting point is 01:07:29 Lily Birkhead tier three Great name Lucy Campbell This is a hard one I would probably say tier three yeah Especially like you have to just remember we're talking about the world. And Victoria campus. Same situation. I think two event wins at one games. Lucy Campbell. The ski event, the ski swim. Yeah, I think she won another one. I can't think of another one besides ski swim.
Starting point is 01:08:05 Which one are you? She was only at the game. Was she at the games multiple years? Just the one. I thought she won two in one year. Maybe she had a second at first. What year was she there? She wasn't there last year, right? It was 2022. 2020. What happened to her in 2023 and 24? She got hurt like pretty bad on, I want to say her shoulder. I'm looking. It was only 2022. She was at the games 2022. I'm all the way down at the bottom. I didn't see her name.
Starting point is 01:08:42 Holy shit. There was, wait, is this the open? Oh, that's the open. I was like, man, I don't see her. Um, she didn't even do the semi-finals in 23 and 24. So I'm pretty positive she got hurt. Um, multiple things happen. Was she the girl who set the world record in 20.1? She took, uh, she took 16th place at the games that year. She won the last event. Wow. And when the last event Jackie Pro. Lucy. I can't be right.
Starting point is 01:09:14 Really? And she won rinse and repeat. Oh, buddy. That might be tier two. Oh shit. She has another, she has another. It's the same Nick Matthews situation though. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:09:32 It's the same Nick Matthews situation. 13th, 11th, first 19th, 25th, 13th, uh, 26th and first. I say she's. Yeah. No, she's here too for sure. But you want to say some's the same Nick Matthew situation. And they were trying to argue tier three. I would say three. Nick Matthew.
Starting point is 01:09:51 You would put her in tier three. Yeah, we're talking about the world and fitness level of everyone competing. I would say tier three. But you still got outvoted. OK, Luke, Victoria, Campos, Ashley Cope. Tier three. Wait, where do we put Victoria Campos? Tier three. Okay, good. Is she done? Is her career over? Campos? She might make it another year, but it doesn't matter. She's irrelevant. Amy Kringle.
Starting point is 01:10:33 point. Uh, Amy Kringle, three to two. Why do you say two? Cause I think she's a games level athlete. Jr. Even if she doesn't make it like this year, I still think in the games, she is relevant. She's not 35th place. She makes noise and events. She can handle herself. I think she belongs at the games. It, whether she makes the games, uh, 13th or 12th or something like that. Okay. Tier two.
Starting point is 01:10:57 Um, whether, whether I guess, okay, okay. This would be a good, uh, definition for you since we will stop having this fight, right? So we keep having it No, no, no, it's gonna stop it If you're at the games and it seems like you're not out of place Like you belong your your fitness belongs with everybody else then I think that's tier two So basically if you're from Asia, South America or Africa, you're tier three.
Starting point is 01:11:26 I mean, that's a good leading candidates for tier three. Yes. Amy Kringle is, boy, she's a little out of place. What do you mean? I don't know. I mean, do you think of her as a games caliber athlete? Nick, you think she's a shooter? I think of her as a games caliber athlete? You think she's a shooter? I think of her as out of place, but placement wise, numbers wise, I think John's right. She's tier two.
Starting point is 01:11:54 Place did she take? She took 13th at the games. Her highest finish was a fifth. The third. She has a third and a fifth. I think the reason that me and you think of her like that is you think you got beat by Claudia Gluck. Sorry. Go ahead. She just came out of nowhere. I Mean she's been around she's been around she just hasn't been good enough, but she made the breakthrough out of nowhere, right? Right. Yeah, she'd be Gracie Walton and Abigail Dome it. I mean, I know it's the 2024 games, but that's weird. I guess she'd be done a loss in two. Okay, this is crazy. These rankings are crazy. I think two is still fair.
Starting point is 01:12:30 You think she's better than Shelby Neal? I think they're the same category of athlete and then it would depend on the programming. You think she's better than, Amy Kringle's better than, Mr. Harakai? is better than, uh, the hair crack. Kai. Um, no, I, I, same thing with Shelby and Yale.
Starting point is 01:12:51 I would put them in the same category of an athlete. Who's better, Amy Kragler or Hattie? What about as different as it gets too? What about, what about Hattie? Hattie Canio? Again, I think same caliber, but I think Hattie's fitter than all of the other people, but I think they're in the same realm. Hattie's more of an athlete than Amy is the impression I get. Yeah, the bad thing is like Hattie's best stuff is Amy's best stuff and Amy's better at that stuff.
Starting point is 01:13:23 All right, uh, okay, uh, where were we here? Okay, uh, uh, Amy Kringle. So tier two? Yeah. Yeah. And she's on the ascent, right? I mean, there's no question she's on the ascent. So this is where this is where I will kind of be like Bryson is being is I don't I don't think she's on the ascent. I don't think she'll make it this year. I do think she's games caliber. If she's in the games, I think she'll be fine. But I think she kind of got lucky with the programming and I think it's harder than ever to make it. And I just don't see it happening again. Maybe she proved me wrong. By the ascent is she's been getting fitter every single year. Like I remember when she was nowhere near making it and then all of a sudden she popped on the scene she was just a hot girl from the Isle of Man
Starting point is 01:14:09 forever sure I was like I got to get her on the podcast because YouTube pays the most money for watchers on the Isle of Man than anywhere in the world I was like fuck got to get her on I never did but or did I you can't remember um, but she's on the ascent, meaning she's going to be fitter this year than she was last year. She might not make the games, but she's on the ascent. We've had, we haven't seen her backslide. She's getting, we have, we have it. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:14:35 We have a trend. I think she'll be better. Yeah. Uh, Abigail Doman. It's here too. I think she's at the top of two. All right. Yeah. I would agree. Lydia fish. It's your three.
Starting point is 01:14:47 How old is she? 20. Okay. So this could be, she, if she has a great performance, wow. So she's games. You are so hard here, Bryson. You fuck. You are so hard here.
Starting point is 01:15:01 No, I agree with Bryson. I think she's, and that's probably just emotion and bias, but I think she's I think she is too. Hey, that's fine This is an emotional show John Leave again you want to threaten us to leave again John Belner you were saying Patrick Bellner is not tier one. I would say Lydia Fish is the top of tier three. If they want to put her in tier two, that's fine. Here's the thing, I think they're doing a disservice by putting her in tier two and
Starting point is 01:15:40 this is why. It's like you're not ready to get your your your your gray belt you're still a white belt but you they give it to you anyway and then you gotta go to a fucking it gives you nowhere to grow you know what i mean so i think like if you put her in tier three it's like holy shit if she does well here great i don't know because i do think she's at the very bottom of tier two you think she'll win an event here i mean she has some remarkable attributes right i mean the bitch knows? I mean, she has some remarkable attributes, right? I mean, the bitch knows some, sorry, the young lady has some grind. She's.
Starting point is 01:16:09 I don't think that she'll win an event. No, I don't think she'll be close. I think it's gonna be a really bad weekend for her. I think she's good. I think you're good. I think her best workout will be event three. And I think the dumbbell is too heavy for her to show how good she is at the other stuff.
Starting point is 01:16:29 Yeah, I think y'all are hyping her up in a place where she shouldn't be hyped up yet. I agree, John. And I want her to get there. I'm team Lydia, I love Lydia, but she needs to be 20 pounds stronger and everything. Hey, here's the thing, here's why she's misleading because she has a monster heart. She does. Like there's no quitting her and so it can be like
Starting point is 01:16:51 misinterpreted as she's better than she I mean I mean not don't get me wrong she's amazing but like she grinds when you see her crash you're like Jesus. No Ricky Gerard type of like staying in the ground. Yes yes. she's just not there yet I want her to be but she's just not just traveling to Baltimore hold on everyone six seven zero if you look at the flight to five nothing zero that's leaving on a gate is alpha 12 okay once again look at your boarding pass make sure you have the proper flight number alpha numbers. Hey, can you see the guy talking Jr? black guy Just no voices
Starting point is 01:17:36 Into like really cool looking to like with a beard and like he looks like it looks like I'll be talking to him for the Next three or four hours because I will be Terminal his out his outfits nice on him. Like he looks good. He could pimp in that in his work clothes the the guy from the wire the gay mobster dude everyone loved it's not stringer bell who's the gay the best he's the best character on the wire the gay gay gay dude wears a trench coat it's not come on somebody Omar Omar yeah Omar hey just try it out. Yes. Omar, I want to see the answers. No, thank you. Okay. Lydia fish. Uh, she's going into, sorry. Uh, John, you got the boys. Uh, Bethany Flores tier two. We do not have a tier one honey yet. What? I don't have anyone in tier one. What are you guys even doing? I think Bethany Flores should be tier three.
Starting point is 01:18:48 Wow. I agree with that. Go ahead. Stage. You're not going to win this one, but I, but John, you, you putting her in tier two is just an emotional pick dude. And this is an emotional show. So I just think that she's never going to make the games again.
Starting point is 01:19:03 She can't even compete in the events that she does qualify for. So why are we putting her in anything besides the bottom tier? I bet you she destroys Lydia Fish in this, in Wadapalooza. And you just put Lydia Fish in tier two. No, Lydia Fish is beating her. That's good. Hey, he didn't even flinch.
Starting point is 01:19:22 Hey, I do think she's tier one too. I'm gonna go with tier one. Tier one? No, she didn't even flinch. Hey, I do think she's tier one too. I'm going to go with tier one. Tier one? No, she's tier two. Dude. Dude, she stripped the bar at rogue and did her own workout on the floor. Yeah, she did that the year previous and still made the games the next year. But listen, think of her lineage. Think of it. She's been in the game forever. She trained with DBE and the, the, who is the girl with the Terry Pierce, Carrie Pierce. Uh, she, she's been around forever. When you say she stripped the bar, she didn't do it because she's a pussy or she's weak. She's injured. You gave Yona a pass for being injured, but not her dude. She's legit. She's got a crazy
Starting point is 01:20:01 training protocol, but that's just all history. She's not, she hasn't, she doesn't lift heavy in her training ever. Like she just shows up. These guys are not all about her because she doesn't lift heavy because the she moves beautifully Bryson. She's really a wonderful mover. You should be really well. You're one girl for you. She moves really well when she's snatching an empty barbell, but she doesn't try to lift heavy
Starting point is 01:20:27 and she shows up to these competitions in hopes that the programming will be good enough for her to not get exposed or for her to not be able to do an event, but then she goes somewhere like Rogue and just straight up can't do something. If this was Rogue, I would a hundred percent agree with you. It's not Rogue. But John, we're talking about the fittest people
Starting point is 01:20:42 in the world. It's just like how Laura Horvath. And I think she is one of the fittest people in the world. It's just like how Laura Horvath- And I think she is one of the fittest people in the world. No, but when Laura Horvath has a whole strict deficit handstand pushups, it doesn't matter if by the limitations of the test you gave that day, deficit strict handstand pushups didn't show up. Having a hole that big means you cannot be the fittest person on earth. And just because the programming doesn't have a heavy ass back squat in it,
Starting point is 01:21:07 doesn't mean that Bethany Flores is now magically so much fitter and has all this more work capacity across- It's an injury though, it's an injury. We already getting waivers on injuries because of Yonacoski. With her limitation, she's still one of the fittest people on the planet.
Starting point is 01:21:22 JR, do you have any inkling that you would consider her tier one? She's not tier one. No, no. OK, all right. So she's tier two. But I will say, like, if we if we were to talk about the all time, what could have beens and like CrossFit games. The year that she got sick and didn't compete, where she went to West Coast
Starting point is 01:21:44 and was clearly the best. than everybody all those athletes there It would she would that year would be like top three for me Listen a dawn fondle very very astute. I have to tell you something. It's going on behind the scenes here In the locker room. He says is Bryson now the junior analyst John was caught sleeping on the job a few times, came to work fucking drunk, disheveled, and Bryson tried to make a move on him and now John has to fucking slap him around and put him in a spot. You saw last week, I think John just did. Do you think John really had a kid? So just know that you are really, you are on to something when you sniff that shit out.
Starting point is 01:22:21 Damn. There is, there's, there's, if only his hair is dirty laundry. If only his takes were better. Uh, we're there's gonna be a lot of tension here for years to come. This is uh, yeah, this is a pecking order. If there's not strong men around to keep other men in check, they'll start preying on our women and children in the form of trans people. Whoa, whoa, whoa. It's the truth. It's the truth. I'm telling you the truth. When there's not strong men to keep other strong men in check, certain men, just like monkeys do it and fucking cougars and tigers do it. There's certain men that will start praying on other females and children.
Starting point is 01:22:55 So we need strong men to stand up and keep people in check. And that's what fucking, you know, you've sensed between John and Bryson. He's like, Bryson's trying to climb up on the Hill and John's just fucking dick slap. And that's why John started that petition. All right. And Haley, fuck you if you think this show is boring. Okay, Bethany Flores, good conversation around her, tier two. This one I think you guys are really going to shit the bed on. This one, speaking of emotion, this one you guys are really gonna shit the bed on I This one speaking of emotion this one you guys are really gonna fuck up Erica Folo
Starting point is 01:23:30 Tier two I'm on game tier two. Oh you guys are out of your mind She's fucking tier three if I've ever seen tier three, what has she done besides fucking Fish is tier two then erica folow is tier two okay fine you win all right you win you've extended the tier two parameters by putting lydia fish in tier two is folow only has one l yes yeah okay listen listen just listen you can't just put folow in because she was with hiller and she's hot like you you gotta let her, she's gotta grind. Okay, Alissa Fuliano. Tier two. She's done enough times. I think she's tier two. I thought Chloe was deceased or retired or something. Deceased. I don't know what she's talking about. Okay, Chloe, tier two. Yeah. Yeah. Tremendous character and tremendous athlete. I will say Claudia
Starting point is 01:24:26 Gluck. Best name in the business. No, no, there's no tier ones yet. Anika Greer. This one will be a tough one. I think she's I think she's tier two. I think she's done it. I think she's been one spot away enough times to where you still have to consider her in that class. So I would say Annika Greer is tier three, but with Lydia Fish being in tier three, tier two, Annika Greer is clearly tier two. I'll take Annika Greer over Lydia Fish right now every single day of the year. Let me just, before you talk, Bryson, let me just say this.
Starting point is 01:25:01 Let me ask you a question, John. Y'all did Lydia Fish a disservice by doing this because I'm going to have to rake her name under the coals every single time we have a person now. And let me just, let me, let me just ask you this. This has nothing to do with her name under the coals. Over the cold. There's nowhere hotter. Jr.
Starting point is 01:25:18 You know what, Jr. I talk how I talk. You need to accept this. You need to accept this. Okay. Figure out figures of speech. Okay. He reads Shakespeare. You know what JR, I talk how I talk. You need to accept this. You need to accept this. Okay.
Starting point is 01:25:26 Figure out figures of speech. Okay. He reads Shakespeare backwards. Okay, John, listen, listen to this question. Okay. This has nothing to do with this show. Completely separate. Who do you think has more potential as a professional CrossFit Games athlete?
Starting point is 01:25:43 Lydia Fish or Annika Greer? I would say Lydia Fish. Okay. Just checking. Okay. But that doesn't change anything. I see what you're saying. And it is really fucked with JR and Bryson did. They've already ruined the show, but we'll keep going. Okay. Well, I'm taking potential. I'm taking potential into account now in Tier system. I'm putting Annikaagri in tier three. Okay, yeah I think I think we all agree Lydia Fish the the sky's the limit. Oh shit Jared your flight get pushed you're shaking your head or someone else with the mask sat down again. Oh shit.
Starting point is 01:26:18 Jared picture please. Is someone standing too close to you? That's been happening for like the past 20 minutes. Like people just come and stand too close to you. It's like, hey dude, your crotch should not be within eight feet of my face. Yeah, pretty much. Jesus criminy. I hope it's all beaver. Zero. Okay. Where are we? So, Anika Greer, Tier 2. Wow. Okay. No, I thought we... Okay, great. Go ahead.
Starting point is 01:26:56 No, you tell me, what tier would you put her in, Bryson? I said taking potential into account. I'm putting her in Tier 3. That's right. That's right. No, she's Tier 2. He's hit her ceiling. She's Tier 2 because Lydia's Tier 2. That's right. JR for the tiebreaker, Anika Greer? Two. How's your battery JR? I'm good to go. Tier two is games potential or games worthy and Anika Greer has hit her ceiling and John will agree with me on that. Yeah but she can get lucky. All right. That's disgusting, John. That's disgusting.
Starting point is 01:27:25 You just had a kid, dude. This is an incredible name. Nicole here? Yeah, Nicole's here. Tier three. I don't know who she is. She's got to be tier three. Yep.
Starting point is 01:27:41 Right? All right. Our first tier one. Laura Horvat. H is silent. Tier one. Hattie Canio. Tier two.
Starting point is 01:27:56 Okay, who's better, Hattie or Bethany Flores? Hattie. I think Bethany Flores is better. Shut up. Dude, if you have a hole that big and you cannot do something you're crazy You are not I love Hattie, but you are crazy Dude, it's not an injury like oh, you know, she had to get whatever surgery Gabby Magalha just got and she's gonna be back It's like something that she's just never worked. She doesn't like do anything about it
Starting point is 01:28:24 Well, she's trying to do something about it, but you're just saying it's broken. You're saying she's a car in fifth and sixth gear of broken. Yeah. Doing dead bugs every day. Isn't going to make you be able to back squat to 75. Bryson, what had had Econ on taking the games last year? I don't know. She was 18th.
Starting point is 01:28:40 Do you want to know what Bethany Flores was? She was fourth, but you're right. You're right. You're right. The games last year. We can't back squat to get five We can't it doesn't matter. She was fourth place, but but you're you're absolutely right We can't take that into account the year before that 15th. All right 2019-8 2018-16 all of these are better than Hattie Kanyos greatest year She's ever had and you would talk about not be making the games again
Starting point is 01:29:04 Bethany Flores will make the games before Hattie Kanya makes the games again Hattie is amazing, but no Hattie will make the games. I think I think Hattie will make the games too actually We'll see Dude, she just can't do something. That's so I get why you hate it But she's she gets what she gets despite that She's so good at all the other stuff that she can have that hole and still be this fit No, she can't have that hole and be this fit. That's what you're not seeing She can have that no, no, she can have that hole and place
Starting point is 01:29:38 Okay in certain CrossFit competitions, but she cannot have that hole and be that fit. The game is not that fit because of that hole. So you think the games is a bad test of fitness? If someone has a hole like that, Overall, overall, the games is a bad test of fitness. Not last year. That big of a hole it, it brings forth the problems with testing things like that, that are not complete the same way that the only handstand person in the world. Do you think Taylor is one of the best handstands in the world?
Starting point is 01:30:06 One of. One of the, do you think Taylor is one of the greatest guys in the world? One of. One of the, no, I agree with you. I think Taylor, I would put Taylor as one of the fittest guys in the world. But not right now because he, he can be back squat. You think he's one of the fittest guys in the world? You said one of. He's one of the worst squatters in the entire men's field. And he know, he know it's not, it's not cause he can't, he knows why it's not he knows why, it's not anything against him. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:30:25 So I agree, despite that hole, he could still almost make the games and probably would if he gets lucky one year with the programming. Dude- Bryson, Bryson, let me say this real quick- Rich Brody couldn't run in 2014. He couldn't run. He had to walk. We're gonna say he's not the best man in the world. Dude, when they tested- Hold on, hold on real quick, Bryson, hold on.
Starting point is 01:30:46 This is what Bryson's trying to say, John. Patty's back won't fall out of her dumper if she sneezes wrong. He's saying that she has such a... That there's a hole so... I'm not disagreeing with you, John. Dude, what's the... I agree with you, John, but do you see what Bryson's saying? He's saying that she is a broken... No, he's saying, because you brought Laura Horvath into the mix,
Starting point is 01:31:04 he's saying if you have a hole that is crazy, right, you're so bad at one thing, it disqualifies you from being one of the fittest people in the world. That's what he's saying. And I disagree completely. No, you you're dude. No unless it gets tested when what you're saying about rich frowning being so bad at running Running got tested so he deserved to be in the spot that he ended up in Laura Horvath can't do a strict deficit handstand push-up Bethany Flores. They tested heavy claims at the games So what? She still got fourth place at the games and they tested heavy cleans Yeah, but she could do them. Her, her issue is specifically the
Starting point is 01:31:46 back squat. I've had, I have a back injury and I've done the same thing for where there's been times I just straight up couldn't back. All right. Hey, 2018 they did the CrossFit total. That's back squad. She was 16th place. Okay. Better than Hattie. Kanye has ever done ever will do. Caleb schedule a show for tomorrow. Who's better Bethany or Hattie? Thank you. This is great. Great discussion. That's history John. That's history. If we go to rogue, if
Starting point is 01:32:10 we go to rogue, if me and you go to rogue invitation, I'm beating you. And it's not because I'm fitter than you. No you're not dude. You're way fitter than me. And you wouldn't beat me in that. It doesn't, it's not, you can't say a whole disqualified you from fitness. Uh hers is her she she okay let's move on okay really quick uh this is a really good point uh at will brand setter jr doing without headphones is admirable jr everyone can hear john in the airport everyone there's no no there's no chance that anyone in this line There's no, no, there's no chance that anyone in this line going to Baltimore has any idea what John's talking about. Can you tell the skin face people to give me a DM? Okay, we'll get them straight. The ghosts. John, Jer, will you pan to your left? Are you sitting in a corner? No,
Starting point is 01:33:03 the other left. Sorry, your left. How about the other way? How about the other way? Oh, we're doing a full 360. I want to see the other side. The other side. Are you sitting in a corner? Yes. Yeah. Okay. That's brilliant. That's good. So yeah. Okay. That's good. Has anyone tried to stand in the corner? No. Oh, that's good. Okay. Good placement. I approve of that placement. That's solid. Okay. Back. We're doing a show, right?
Starting point is 01:33:29 Oh, yeah. Yeah. We're ranking you. Okay. So how do you, Canyo, we're putting her to Tier 2? Any chance she'd be in Tier 3? No. Okay.
Starting point is 01:33:41 She's better than Jessica Androsik? Yeah. Okay. Saharikai? Tier two. Everyone? Yeah. You don't think Saharikai belongs in tier three? No, she's placed well enough at the games and honestly multiple years. Linda Keesman doesn't get really enough attention. She deserves Freak of Nature. Linda Keesman doesn't get really enough attention. She deserves freak of nature. She's she she's a she's a man. She went to the games last year. She did. Yep.
Starting point is 01:34:16 She was 19th. She's like, oh, here we go. Ready? JR. Amanda Barnhart. That's a good one. I bet finding another man at Barber. How about this one? Liz Wishart, Talena Fortunato. Oh, I got one better than Talena Fortunato. You ready? Lindy Barber? No, no.
Starting point is 01:34:41 We've had a Liz Wishart before. It was this blonde girl from Carson. She used to compete in Carson. Exact same body as Liz Wishart. I took this insane photo of her. I bet you I could find her name. There is a Liz Wishart. When I say her name, you'll be like, holy shit.
Starting point is 01:34:59 What year, what year, uh, 14? Were we in Carson in 14? Um, yes. Yes. Uh, 2014. What year, what year 14? Were we in Carson in 14? Yes. 2014. Let me just see really quick. What does it say? Maddy Sturt was around. Why does this keep going back to 2024? Oh, the games leaderboard doesn't go back to 2014?
Starting point is 01:35:22 No, it doesn't. Oh shit, it won't let me. It's yeah. It is updating. I'm assuming that to me through Savon. Yeah, it directs you back. God, you don't know who I'm talking about. There were there were there were two girls you could pick. I think JR that you would like better her there was the girl from NorCal who dated the guy with the dreads And he flew the drones Lindy barber is more Bethany Flores. I think Lindy barber had some back issues. I Was just talking about like their like their look. Oh God what was that girl's name? Is this is is this 2023? Oh, you got it. Okay.
Starting point is 01:36:06 Not Michelle. 2014. Okay. Keep going. Valerie, Emily, Bridgers, keep going.

I wasn't anything in CrossFit I just was a fan of the CrossFit Games and she followed both of us and Then we followed her back and then three days later she had unfollowed us. Don't ever say that out loud again that you care if people follow you or not. Well no I mean I'm saying at the time I don't now Sevan but at the time it was the coolest thing in the world and she was just following a bunch of people just to get followers. Christy Adkins, not Adkins. You scrolling. You've got Kelly Jackson and.

I mean don't tell me what to do Okay, uh linda keesman, uh, what's your This is this is a hard one because she's only been the games one year and it was last year. Isn't really relevant except then. Lydia Fisher rule. Yeah, yeah, yeah, you got me. She's here too. Oh, wow.
Starting point is 01:38:43 I think I think Linda's tier two regardless. Yeah, tier two. Yeah, that was great. Okay. Pernille Christensen, tier three. Don't know who you are. Reese Littlewood. Sounds familiar.
Starting point is 01:38:59 Teenagers. Imagine being a guy with the last name Littlewood. God, elementary school would just be fucking brutal There her dad had that name. Yeah Reese little wood she did she win the kids got across the games Yes, she won by a lot. Yeah, so tier two for Reese No, no, she beat Lucy McGonagall, which is pretty shocking Where would you put her? I mean I would put her in tier three is Reese better than Lydia Fish. I
Starting point is 01:39:32 Would I would probably pick Lydia over Reese Littlewood. Yeah, probably dude. Shut up you would area It's your one Okay, Ariel low in tier one. Anyone want to argue that? I want to, but I won't. Emily Lundberg. Okay. Three.
Starting point is 01:39:54 Okay, Emily, see you tomorrow, tier three. Lucy McGonigal, is that a kid too? Yeah. Tier three? Yeah. All kids go in tier three, don't take it. Oh this one's gonna be good. Here we go Houston. Annika Greer, I mean Kyra Milligan. Are they the same person? Kyra's fit. No they're different. They're way different. Yeah. I would say tier two. Lydia Fish rule. Tier two. Not because of the Lydia Fish rule though.
Starting point is 01:40:21 She's in tier two anyway. Andra, wow. This is a tough name too. This'd be tough name to Brayson in high school though. JR JR struggling. Dude, dude, it's getting late at night. I turned into, you know, you, I regressed to the teenage years. Dude, I went to a commentary school and this girl with this girl, her name was, her name was Cloris and it was to talk to her. Oh, Clorida is Cloris Clitoris literally literally just one letter out.

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha Andra moist tits. We're burning in hell. Told J.R. to turn off his. Did you get in trouble, J.R.? I'm sorry, Andra. I'm talking to the guy at the desk. Oh, okay.
Starting point is 01:41:39 Game recognition. He wants to shoot who? He just looked at the guy at the desk and said, he said moist tits. Jennifer Muir. I recognize that name. She went to over in London for that fit fest. Okay, tier three? Yeah. Yeah. Lexi Neely, tier two, even I know that. Lydia Fishwell.
Starting point is 01:42:04 No, no, no, no., even I know that. Uh, Lydia Fishwell. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. The games last year. So, dude, do you think Anika Greer is better than Lexi Neely? You're out of your mind. Put them in the same category. John's just going to say the John's just going to use that rule every time he puts somebody in tier two so he can keep spring so he can keep bringing it up. All these people are all kind of on the last three people here to belong there.
Starting point is 01:42:31 Lexi Neely took the first place in a push pool. Yeah, it was a freehand standing pushup workout. It was basically just who's the best at that. And that's it. Freehand standing. Free hand standing push up. You know exactly what I'm saying. I don't know why you're trying to correct. Don't take this. Have you John? Okay. So she so she took a 39, 34, 32nd, 29th, 33rd, 25th, 33rd, 25th, 1st, 26th, 14th, 11th. Boy, she had a good back.
Starting point is 01:43:16 I guess you're right. Sung-Yong Choi beat her at the games. Kyra beat her. Chloe beat her. Did Anika even make it to the games last year? No, she's never made it to the games. demo team. All right. I like Lexi Neely.
Starting point is 01:43:34 She was great on the show. She's a great interview. People were saying it was going to be hard. I thought it was easy. She was dope. Andrea Pinero. Tier one. I think tier one too, to be hard. I thought it was easy. She was dope. Andrea Pinero. Tier one. I think tier one too, to be honest.
Starting point is 01:43:51 Are we are we drug testing the tier system? No. No. I mean, I would I would I would say tier three. Oh, she took 28. Yeah, but that's because 10 girls went through. So what are you saying? She would have taken 40th? Yeah, she would have been 38th to last.
Starting point is 01:44:10 She got a seventh. She got a seventh. That's her best finish. And she's older. Okay, are we putting her in tier three? Yeah. Pinero. I think that's fair.
Starting point is 01:44:23 You okay with that, JR? Georgia Pryor. I would say three. How'd she do at the games last year? I thought she did well at the games. Gracie took 14th. She was one spot behind Andrea Pinero. Oh shit.
Starting point is 01:44:43 Wow. Okay, then yeah, three. That's too bad. She was she doing well at a certain point like early on? No, I people just hype her up a lot. I don't know why. You know, I'll tell you why because she's hot as fuck. She was 30th, 30th, 30th, 12th, 29th, 27th, 29th, 27th, 19th, 28th, 22nd, 24th. Uh, Maria Quintero. Hey, I'm struggling right now because you guys were saying that there better be some big names coming up because you guys were saying it's a good comp and so far it's uh Maria Quintero uh level three. Yeah, it's your three. Alexis Raptus. Uh oh. Tier one. Is Raptus. Oh, one. Tier one. Is Raptus gonna beat Loin here? Yeah. I think it's gonna be really close, but I got, I have her second. That, um, she, she looks absolutely phenomenal.
Starting point is 01:45:36 She looks like she's ready to go. Yeah. It's going to be a really fun race between the two of those girls. Uh, Emily Rolfe. Oh, one. Tier two. What? What? Tier two. Shut the **** up. What? That's what I was going to say. You were going to say shut the **** up? Yeah. For what? Why is she tier one? John, do you know replacements other than last year at the game? Yeah, she was 12th the year previous, 40th the year after that 15th 18th. She's routinely in the team. Third place is anomaly. If you want to say it's not Bethany
Starting point is 01:46:15 Flores was fourth place. Her and Bethany Flores finished very close to each other and you wanted to argue Bethany Flores for tier three. She's a tier two games athlete. She's 10 to 20 place every single year. Last year was an anomaly. It's the cardio games, dude, but we're not talking about history. We're talking about how fit they are right now. History shows you how fit they are. Okay.
Starting point is 01:46:36 12th, 40th, 18th, 40th was because she got a 49ers withdrawal. Well, you're only as good as you show up. Really? She got she got booted from the games for COVID. No, no, no. That was her bone disease, right? Oh, oh, oh, yeah, yeah. From the I remember that that was from that was from she got back before she was 12th,
Starting point is 01:47:02 15th, 18th. I just really, really fit. She's really, really fit, but she's the top of tier two for me Tier one is routinely perennially tier one or top ten games. She's not that she's never been that Yeah, I have her too Holy shit This has been the hardest one for me to put a tier two is She's the third fittest woman on Earth. This has been the hardest one for me to put it tier two. Is Bethany the fourth fittest woman on Earth?
Starting point is 01:47:29 Because you're a hypocrite if you don't say so. I would put both Bethany and Emily up there with Ariel and Raptus. I'd split it. Emily in the first, Bethany in the second. Alright. John sounds like he needs some BPC 157. What is that? The great answer, John. Every athlete should be on it.
Starting point is 01:48:07 Emily, capeptides.com, codeword seven. If you can't spell that, Hiller. Ariel Sanders, who the fuck is that? She is one of Coach L's athletes. I don't know who that is. One of Taylor's athletes? Ariel. Yeah, Ariel.
Starting point is 01:48:21 It's a great name. Tier three though, since I don't know her, right? Yeah, no, she's tier three. Oh, Mary Helen Saunders,'s a great name. Tier 3 though, since I don't know her, right? Yeah, no, she's tier 3. Oh, Mary Helen Saunders. I know that name. Tier 3. Bryson? Yeah, 3.
Starting point is 01:48:32 Mary down here. Damn, tier 3 is getting so full. Danny Spiegel. Tier 2. Is Emily Rolfe better than Danny Spiegel? Yeah. Yes. Do you put Danny at tier two, Bryson?
Starting point is 01:48:52 Yeah. Wow. JR? Absolutely. Would you put her, is she, is Danny better than Bethany? Better crossfitter? No. No. Uh, Emma tall. This one's hard, but I would say it's here too. This, this will Bethany and Danny both have massive holes, but Danny's hole, Danny's hole. Yes, go on foundational. She can't run a 5k without blacking out
Starting point is 01:49:30 Who Emma's or Danny's Danny Spiegel? Oh, so that's her hole and it's more foundational than Bethany's hole Which would be back squatting or it's lower on the pyramid. It's yeah. Yeah, it's more valuable so Danny Spiegel is not as good of a crossfitter as Bethany Flores, but Bethany Flores is also not a well rounded crossfitter. I don't disagree with those statements. So would you put Emma tall on on in level two? I would put her tier two but then yeah, I think she's near
Starting point is 01:50:02 the top of tier two though. She's very good, but obviously we're probably not going. All right, I don't think we're going to see a ton of her anymore. I think J.R. went to the bathroom. What would be weird is if someone stole his computer now. At least you know who'd have it. Yeah. Go big screen if someone picks it up. For sure.
Starting point is 01:50:24 What the hell? Astrid Tind? That's an astrology chick for sure. Tier 3. Yeah. She's a Scorpio. Riding Scorpio. Nicoletti Torigiani. That a journey you're gonna get on me Nina oh, I know this name. This is the mayhem girl, right? Yes, your one and she was at crash and like with the world on fire in the handstand event hands and water Yeah, Nina rag avic. Yeah, she was good. Tier two tier three tier three one for sure three God I'm out of room on tier three. This is a problem. Nicolette, the best.
Starting point is 01:51:08 Zoe Warren. Tier three. Three. Brooke Wells. Tier one. What? I would say tier one. If you're going to put Brooke Wells in tier one,. You're not gonna put Emily Rolfe in tier one
Starting point is 01:51:26 100% that's 100% you are so fucking tardy, dude I think Emily Rolfe should be in tier one, but I do think Brooke Wells is above Emily Rolfe So I don't think John's logic and that is fucked up Brooke Wells is winning the whole thing. She's the fittest person here. She's all right. I disagree with that. I'll take Brooke Wells any day of the week over. That would be awesome if Brooke won. That would shake shit up.
Starting point is 01:51:55 It will be awesome. All right. Brooke Wells level one tier one. God, that'd be awesome. Okay. Here's a tough one. Sitting Wells. Three.
Starting point is 01:52:03 Yeah. I mean, I'm probably going gonna say three on that one. But they're identical twins. Aline Wurz. Tier three. Elizabeth Wishart. Tier three. Not two?
Starting point is 01:52:24 No. You think Kyra Milligan is better than Elizabeth Wishart? Yes. I do, yeah. You think Chloe Gavon is better than her? Yes. Claudia Gluck? Is better than who? You think Claudia Gluck? What about the Lydia Fish award factor? I think Lydia Fish is better than Elizabeth you think Claudia Glock what about the okay sorry what about the Lydia Fish award factor I think Lydia Fish is better than Elizabeth
Starting point is 01:52:48 Wisheart yeah wow okay wish her the Lydia Fish award reminds like the end is that the new award at the end of the games for like most improved or whatever the rings are everyone who's better than Lydia fish? Listen, there's a line and if you're actually fit or if you're not, you're just a pretender. It's the Lydia fish line. Okay. I do have some questions about what a plusa I do have to take a pee, so we just got to take a small little woman pee break and
Starting point is 01:53:29 We'll be back My experience was I told you you build one in Portland and I'll start coming from a bad back not really able to Move doctors said medication probably until you can't take it then we'll do surgery. So that was kind of what motivated me to get into it. So a year into CrossFit, probably one of the best shape of my life, I was diagnosed with cancer.
Starting point is 01:54:03 And we got through it. You push through these things that, I always joked, I was like, okay, here we go through, what was it, 35 rounds of radiation, three rounds of chemo. I said, here we go, three, two, one, go. It's like a workout. Let's get through it, you know.
Starting point is 01:54:30 There's no doubt. I've been in oncology, radiation oncology for over 30 years. With what he was up against, there's no doubt in my mind if it wouldn't have been for CrossFit and the way he was, we built him up and how strong he was, he wouldn't be here today. And we're back, except not JR. Okay, a couple things. What about, what about, we talked about Jeffrey Ailer not being here.
Starting point is 01:55:04 Why aren't some other people here? Why isn't Tia here? I don't know. Probably there, you think she's there, she'll be there, she's just working the crowd? Did she do Water Blues last year? No. No, last year was Paige Powers, right? That one? Or was that the year before that? I thought that was the year before.
Starting point is 01:55:25 So that's the last two years that Tia has in the Waterpluse. She just doesn't do that. She did Waterpluse in 2019. Price can stop playing with your pen. Sorry. No problem. If I'm Tia, Waterpluse doesn't pay in the ass to me.
Starting point is 01:55:40 75 grand, easy 75 grand for her, isn't it? Probably makes the- Yeah, yeah yeah, yeah fold somewhere else. She probably makes that with like a frog grips post quick 75 Someone said Emma Kerry won last year That's right. Yeah, I voted herself to the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ for the rest for life Good for her What about the weather tomorrow? What if it is, someone in the chat said it was pouring in Miami right now. Any plans for that? Is the entire event outside? Yes, there's on the stage and then on the sand. Friday will be the only day that it
Starting point is 01:56:22 rains so every other day it's fine. even though it's pouring right now and it starts in 11 hours 12 hours yeah no it'll be fine Florida's like that Florida will rain for an hour and then then you will have no idea it rained five hours from then scroll up a little bit let's see Thursday just got like four inches of snow and we still know that it's snowed that's north north Florida, south Florida. Caleb, let's look at Thursday. Okay, 20% chance of rain tomorrow. Okay, and what about these winds? Are they competing on sand? Could the wind be a bad problem? No, it's hard sand.
Starting point is 01:57:03 Sarah Sigman's daughter, not doing individual but doing team. And then also just, would you say Sarah's on a comeback tour? Would you say she's in a comeback? I mean, she looks like she's in amazing shape. Spin just reported, the barbell Spin just reported she took, what place did she take? Fifth? the barbell spin just reported she took a place did she take if if that uh the UAE storm games uh some some good names there Jamie Simmons, Sahara Kai, Matilda Garns finished ahead of her
Starting point is 01:57:40 uh any chance we'll see her you think make a run for the games this year? Any chance we'll see her? You think make her run for the games this year? No, no, not even try. I She might try if she won't succeed Yeah, because you think she's too old. I think she's not fit enough Don't you think this is a good sign? Yeah, I mean I'm happy for her but like let's you can't look at the names that beat her. Look at the names that she beat. She beat Verena Reimers, Louisa Marquez, Evie Hollis.
Starting point is 01:58:10 These people are the games athlete down there. Julia Cato. Yeah. But where is she making the games from? Like Sarah's got to make it from Europe. I just, it's just, I just don't see it happening. But John, she's made the games before she's been on the podium before. Yeah. She fell down pretty rough though.
Starting point is 01:58:23 If Andrea Solberg is beating you handedly, you're just not... Hey, I agree in this example. I'm just saying that goes back to all the other examples when we were tiering people that... Yeah, and she's like three years. She's like three years. She's like five years removed from her success. I'm just saying give those people another year.
Starting point is 01:58:43 You're saying from 2024, if they weren't good, they're not good anymore. I'm saying like let's wait just wait. I was saying from 2024 if they were good, then they're still good enough now. I'm thinking like the Nick Matthews that we're talking about. Oh, I'm thinking like the people like the people like that. Yeah, but it was only there for the because of how the games was. So she's not doing individual and Annie's not doing individual and Katrin's not doing individual But they'll all be there on team on the same team. That's kind of cool. That is cool big Baca
Starting point is 01:59:13 I'm here now in Miami. It's not pouring rain nor rained hard and the sand is soft as hell. I viewed the venue Well, that's not what we were told big Baca, but I'll trust you over them. What were you told? That the sand is packed like that? It's hard sand, yeah. Is this the end of Iceland? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:59:36 It already happened. 2025 is the end of Iceland. Because VKG is on his way out too. That's crazy. I feel like Iceland has had such an impact on CrossFit. CrossFit has had such an impact on Iceland. However you want to word it. There's always been an Icelandic presence ever since Annie. Annie kind of like exploded.
Starting point is 01:59:58 I mean she's the only athlete that connected all three generations. For sure. Um. I don't know. I mean he's the only athlete that connected all three generations. Sure. It's kind of sad. Fourth best crossfitter who ever lived. Fourth most impact, sure. One of the most impact. All right, so tomorrow it's going to be fun. A lot of good people, good people, fun people to watch after doing the review show. Oh, by the way, so tier one girls, there's only four Laura Horvat, Ariel Loewen, Raptis and Brooke Wells.
Starting point is 02:00:36 And I think the one there to watch, it's going to be the most interesting. Well, I think Raptis and Brooke Wells are going to be very, it's going to be fun seeing where they, I think they have the biggest unknowns. Ariel and Laura have just been consistently just kicking ass. I think Raptors has shown the most potential in the past one day maybe even be a future game CrossFit Games podium finisher or even champion we've seen glimmers of that and so I think that's going to be that's going to be fun. The ones who didn't make it who are going to still be fun to watch are Danny, Emily Rolfe and Bethany Flores. And then of course, from Hiller's outstanding video that has nearly 200,000 views, Erica
Starting point is 02:01:11 Folow, and of course, of course, the girls we love to love, Domet, Kringle. There's a bunch of them in there. Hattie Canio. The whole second tier is going to be fun. And then on the boy side, the person I'm most interested in just right off the bat that I'd love to get, obviously James Bragg. I'd love to get behind James Bragg and see how he does. Ricky Gerard, Hatfield, bunch of unknowns there in terms of how well they're going to do and it's going to be really competitive for them. But Enola Kai, Jack Farlow, it would be interesting to see Luke Parker, Travis Mayer, this could be a sign of us seeing the
Starting point is 02:01:49 beginning of the end for him, right? Or the end or is it the end of the end? The end of the end. I feel like he's been in the end for a while. This is Luca Jukic's first time competing in the States since the games where he lost his brother. Correct. But he did compete somewhere else already. competing in the states since the games where he lost his brother? Correct. But he did compete somewhere else already? He won Dubai.
Starting point is 02:02:09 He won Dubai, okay. So he's coming off a strong win, pretty confident. He competed somewhere else and won too, right? He competes a lot, man. But Dubai is the big one. All right. And then, of course, the big question mark Jeff Adler, will Jeff Adler take the floor at a, it won't be 7am. I think the women go, do the women go first? I think the women go first.
