J.R. Hallihi
Hello
See any monkeys today?
Monkeys?
Monkeys.
Just my kids.
Today, you're in one of the Carolinas, right? I already forgot.
South, yep.
Nope, that's Trump legal problems, live call-in, shit, what is this? A Democrats weekend.
Shit.
Where, where is my, oh, great.
What?
Oh, rogue overview.
Well, shit.
Where's my notes?
Damn, I thought I was going to be so clever.
I saw a story just now this morning.
Um, oh, rogue games.
There it is.
Come on, baby.
Uh, that 40 monkeys got loose in your state. You didn't see that?
No.
I wonder why this isn't popping up.
Where?
I'll pull it up on my phone.
South Carolina.
40 monkeys. And it's not the first time that they've gotten out.
They won't even work on here.
I wonder what's going on.
All right, we'll pass on the monkey story.
One last shot, one last shot, baby, one last shot.
Rogue games, there it is.
South Carolina.
Oh, I need to apologize or at least make a correction. This morning I referred to
Ben Massey as a chubby gay guy and later on afterwards I looked him up. He's the CEO of Rad.
Yeah, he's not pudgy at all. I mean he wasn't in the pictures I saw. He's all yoked and buff and shit.
Yeah, he's super duper fit. He looks super fit. So I want to at least correct that. the for medical research in South Carolina, but the nearby police chief said there's almost no danger to the public. It marks the fourth time since 2014 the primates have escaped
the facility, dozens escaped recently in 2018. They are not infected and diseased whatsoever.
They are harmless and a little skittish. Yamasa police chief Gregory, you know that place?
Yamas? Yamasi?
Yamasi.
Y-E-M-A-S-S-E-E. Yamasee. Does that close your house?
Sounds Native American.
Do you know the county?
No.
Never heard of it.
Anyway, that would be cool if a monkey made a guest appearance on the show today.
The 2018 federal officials find Alpha Genesis $12,600 after a dozen of the primates escaped, as well for an incident
that left a few others without water and other problems regarding how the monkeys were housed.
I wonder who gets that $12,000 when you find someone for failure to take care of your monkeys
good.
Who gets that money?
That's a good question.
It looks like it's just going to be me and JR today. to take care of your monkeys good. Who gets that money?
That's a good question.
It looks like it's just gonna be me and JR today. Well, that's easy.
Yeah, buckle up, everybody. It's gonna be a show full of
opinions and emotion and, you know,
and in labia slapping.
John's not here. So we can't do that.
Crazy.
Oh, oh. Wow.
God, today's been crazy on social media, hasn't it?
I've tried to stay away from it.
I'm sure it has though.
Oh dude, there's some fucking hilarious shit.
Oh my goodness.
Oh my goodness.
Oh my goodness.
There's women out there who, if they didn't like the way their husband voted,
they say they're not gonna give up the puss
for four years until the next election.
Are you in any precarious situation like that?
So like only four more times
than they probably already don't.
Right. So like only four more times than they probably already don't.
Right.
Yes. JR with a joke.
It's going to be a crazy week. Um, we're getting the schedule refined. I went over the barbell spin. Thank you to, uh, Brian spin with the barbell spin.
He does have a different last name.
It's crazy.
Every once in a while, I try to ask someone what it is,
but it's crazy.
The article is called the 2024 rogue
Invitational CrossFit Event Schedule.
All the shows, I do believe, correct me if I'm wrong,
Jar, if I say anything wrong here,
but what I do believe that what's happening,
you'll go down here to the schedule and these are the Eastern Standard Times. And I do believe
Spin and Tyler and John will be live during the show. So 730 AM Eastern time, they will
be live to 938. So on one screen you could have the Rogue Invitational on the other screen,
you could have these guys commentating. I also encourage you to buy the premium cast
from Rogue. And then they'll buy the premium cast from Rogue and then
and then they'll do the same for event two and event three but soon as they go
off the air at 938 Eastern Standard Time this show will come on. Hopefully gonna
have a whole hodgepodge of guys. Maybe we'll even get Bill Leahy on the show.
Sounds like Hiller's gonna be spending some time with Leahy,
so I always send Hiller a link,
so maybe we'll get both of them.
Sounds like Chase, Bill Grundler.
Of course, I'll invite Spin, John, Tyler on,
so it'll be fun.
They are gonna be crazy early morning.
So basically, if you're on the West Coast
and you wanna watch this thing,
you gotta start watching at 4.30 a.m.,
which is what I'm gonna do tomorrow and then the schedule goes on and we'll keep
refining the schedule there are some rumblings that this schedule Sunday
schedule is off by an hour but I'm sure Brian will excuse me fix it as it gets
updated before we start let's head over to the Rogue Invitational Instagram.
Anything on, have you been paying close attention
to that at all, JR today?
No, I haven't seen anything from it today.
I saw a few of the athletes stories,
the venue looks insane, like what's incredible.
Yeah, brand new venue over there in Scotland
We got Velner Mitchell pooper and Laura Horvath, let's see what let's see what they have to say here
Who are your Canadian sports idols and who did you grow up watching in sports that inspired you?
Canadian sports titles fight was a gymnast for a long time and earlier in my own. Okay, if you wanna watch that, you can see that.
They got the Strongman competition.
Oh, I think John and Spinn and Tyler
are also gonna cover Strong Woman.
They are, yep, that's what John said.
And they know nothing about Strong Woman, right?
Correct. So that should be absolutely a blast. That's what John said. And they know nothing about strong woman, right? Correct.
So that should be absolutely a blast. That's going to be pretty funny.
That should be a good, you know, a comedy show.
Also make sure you download the heat one app.
That's Tyler's.
Oh, look, there's John right there.
Hey, how long have you been there?
Wait, eight minutes, man.
Sorry.
Jesus.
No, it was like 30 seconds.
Make sure you download the heat one app.
Jesus. It was like 30 seconds.
Make sure you download the Heat One app.
We're going to give you choices today of our picks of the top three boys.
And then also, John, is the Strong Woman before?
Is the Strong Woman before or after?
Yes, sir.
No, it's before.
We will be up at 3.55 AM sharp.
Central time.
That's your time.
Yep. 3.55 Central. I got my alarm for 353. And we're gonna, we're gonna rock it.
Wow, crazy.
I'm gonna watch. Do you eat? Do you eat upon awakening? Like, will you, will you go to turn on
your computer and just be like, dude, I need like a need like a Bavita breakfast cookie. I see you
eating those or like maybe an oatmeal cream pie, some goldfish.
I'm actually, I'm actually a bit of an intermittent faster. I don't eat anything. I see you eating those or like maybe an oatmeal cream pie, some goldfish.
I'm actually, I'm actually a bit of an intermittent faster. I don't eat anything until 11, 1130.
Inch a lot of 11.
Yeah, honestly, it's probably what it is. But I do I drink my pre workout every
morning to wake up like wake up no matter what. Like I drink my pre-workout every morning to wake up, like wake up no matter what.
Like I drink my pre-workout on the way to church.
Um, like I've never drunk coffee in my life.
Um, so every, every morning it's just my pre-workout.
I know you and Hitler were like the same.
Does he do that as well?
Which is what?
And no explode two scoops, I think every morning since he was like 13 years old.
Is that what you do? And I'll explode John. Oh, I'm on the jocco fuel right now. Okay
353 a.m. Central time that is correct
Yeah, it's gonna be a blast
I'm gonna watch some big women lift some big things and it's gonna be it's gonna be fun and make some big sounds
Okay, so this is your this is your team. You'll be watching tomorrow. Yep.
Man, the first event is a deadlift ladder.
The only event that they can actually lift more than me. So that'll should be fun.
That's the first one we started off with.
What's crazy is you're going to know all these ladies names and kind of have some
like intimate, like insight into them. You're doing a three
day, what's it intensive? I actually have a comment saved from each one of these
women. Oh about you? Yep. Oh wow fantastic. Wow and when you'll be pulling those up
throughout the three days? I doubt it but just you know. What's the most
memorable one off the top of your head
um the most memorable one was from uh oberst she she's not in here but she was there last year
it was just very detailed and very long and you know played on my looks a little bit but
Dude, you got to read those. Let me test you on some basic questions about strong.
What is the age range from youngest to oldest?
Not who, which one, but what's the age range of these ladies?
24 to 39.
Wow. That guarantees you a C just knowing that. Okay. I'm gonna
give you three questions. Number two is that correct? Oh, fuck. I don't know.
You made it sound like you did some research. Yeah. Okay. Sorry. You're back down to an F. Um,
hold on. What if I'm right though? Like, like, I mean, I
would give you a two year, I would give you two year plus or
minus on either end too. I bet it's around that I would let
you go 2020 anywhere between, you know, 22 and 41. Okay. Um,
uh, is last year's champ in the mix?
Yes.
Wow. And for bonus points to make up for that last question, do you know who it is?
I know Angelica Yardin is up there. Um, it's, it's either, it might be Rebecca
Roberts, Lucy or Angelina Angelica Yardin, one of those three.
Hey John, that's probably, I mean it could be like Angelica or it could be just Angelica.
How are you saying her first name? Angelica? Angelica, yeah.
It's probably not that. It's probably not that listen listen listen, this is
This is top-shelf material that we're gonna get on the spin cast
Hopefully someone will correct you right away. So you just don't put your names. No, I'm gonna I'm gonna keep saying it like that
Okay now here we go
For the question you can you can answer tell me who the lightest woman is and how much she weighs or who the heaviest?
Women woman is or if you can be both that you'll get a bonus point. All right, I got okay
I'm gonna go Sam
Bellevaux is the lightest
at a
Little bitty girl.
To 10.
Wow, to 10, that's the smallest strong woman.
Yeah, she might be lighter than that.
One eighty five.
OK, twenty five to two ten.
And how about the heaviest?
Who are the heaviest?
I'm a rock with Angelika.
And you think they had a 400 pounder?
Nah, 330.
330.
Well, these will be all.
We'll find out as you periodically pop into the
7-on-pre and post shows.
You can tell us some of the stats you fit. You've learned.
We will. I'm going to I I'm gonna put the hard look on it
It's gonna be good
Go ahead. Jer. I'm gonna be the leading analyst and strong women by the end of this my end of this
I've no doubts
We're gonna say something Jer. No, I'm good. All right. Um, so if you're awake at 353 a.m
You're gonna you know, what's cool about that is you're gonna get a lot of foreign listeners because Spins not usually on at that hour so it's
gonna populate in a lot of people.
So here's Chris Spieler, him and Josh Bridges programmed the event.
Spieler was in the 2007, 2008, 2009.
He's in the original, I don't know, first 10 games or whatever.
Here we go.
One, in one word, it would be the grind. Event number two, the only word I can think of for
this one is pressure. Event number three, one of my favorites, gut check. Event number
four, got to have one have one classic event number five.
I know it's gonna happen.
Should happen.
Only thing I can think of describe it unbroken.
Event number six.
It's gotta be this way.
Speed event number seven.
You guys know it's gonna be here.
Grip event number eight.
Is that the unknown event, event six or seven?
No, event six is, what did you say, speed?
Yeah, they haven't denounced it yet, huh?
No, so I mean, it's probably what we think it is.
A ladder, speed ladder?
Yeah, some kind of that, yeah.
An increasing weight.
Maybe they bring the log back, maybe it's stones,
maybe it's, yeah.
Can't be one word, but phrase boulders for shoulders.
Event number nine, winner.
Because I have a feeling it's going to be tight
and whoever's winning this is likely to win the event.
So that's not really a clue for nine.
Hmm, what did he say again?
Can we-
Weiner.
He just said winner.
That's it.
Yeah.
He basically said,
whoever wins this event
is probably gonna win the competition.
That makes me think it's not-
No, no, no.
That's not what he said.
He said it's gonna be close going into it.
So he thinks it's gonna decide the winner.
Oh, is that what he, okay.
Gotcha.
Oh, okay.
Okay.
Yeah, I thought he said what JR just said.
I thought he was saying that like, it would be the best parallel to who does well in the
competition. Yeah. Winner of that.
Yesterday you were right when we had that problem.
Event number one. In one word, it would be the grind. Event number two, the only word
I can think of for this one is pressure. Event number three, one of my favorites,
gut check. Event number four, gotta have one, classic. Event number five, I know
it's gonna happen, should happen, only thing I can think of describe it, unbroken.
Event number six, it's gotta be this way, speed.
Event number seven, you guys know it's gonna be here, grip.
Event number eight, can't be one word,
but phrase boulders for shoulders.
Event number nine, winner.
Because I have a feeling it's gonna be tight
and whoever's winning this is likely to win the event.
It's gonna be tight.
Whoever wins this is to win the event. It's gonna be tight. Whoever wins this is gonna win the event.
I think that means more towards Saban.
So you're right.
Okay.
One in one.
Good job, Saban.
Thank you.
That's very uncommon, I feel like on the show.
Let's see what this is.
All right.
All right. A little hype for the venue.
Okay.
You guys ready?
Let's do it.
First off, you know what we got to do?
We're doing tears again.
We'll do tears again.
Very popular segment. Whew. Lots of energy in that one
Okay, uh
Mitchell oh no, uh leg. Oh look they got led the legends men up here too
Dan bailey tommy hackenberg ben smith chris bieler mico salo matt chan josh ever. Oh the legends have thinned out a little bit
I thought they're missing a couple names. No
Oh, the legends have thinned out a little bit.
I thought they're missing a couple of names. No.
A Froning's on a bike ride or something or a hunt or something.
Okay.
How many tiers do we need for the boys?
Okay.
Um, you just want to go like tier one and then we'll figure out how many tiers.
Okay.
Yeah, we can move them.
We can move them around a little bit.
Uh, uh,
Any tiers? Okay.
Yeah, we can move them around a little bit.
Tier one.
I'm going to say tier one is going to be Jeff, Ricky, Dallen, Justin, Pat, Brent, Jason.
Going off of your same can podium.
Can podium, correct.
Adler, Ricky, Dallin, Justin, Pat, Jason.
I know it's a lot bigger than the women, but I think any one of these men can podium.
At any competition.
No Brent Fikowski?
He did say Brent.
I said Brent.
Oh, okay.
You really think no James Sprague?
No James Sprague.
You really think Jason belongs up there?
I think he's the last man there.
Okay.
Any issues, JR?
No, I'm going to defer to John on this segment. I want to I want to put it like this Harris
No, Justin Maderas, I said Justin. He said Justin. Okay, okay. I
Put it like I put it like this like Jason was fourth place had just as good a shot as anybody to podium at the games
tied with Pat Bellner and
The games was you know quote the cardio, the most cardio we've ever seen
at the games, very heavily biased, rogue,
a bit in the opposite direction.
And Jason in my eyes could still podium at this competition.
So if strength bias competition, he could podium
in a cardio bias competition, he could podium.
Then I think any competition deserves to be on the list.
Now, Wadapalooza, no shot.
JR knows why, but that is why he's the bottom person
in that tier, but I still think he belongs in the tier.
Why not Wadapalooza?
He's just going off of his spotting abilities in the water.
Sure.
In the open water. Yeah, yeah, you're good. Yeah. Okay. Tier two.
Tier two. This these would be people that I think can be top 10. And I would say Noah, Sam Kwant, Yonakowski, Jay Crouch.
I would put Chandler as the last person in that list.
You don't got BKG.
No.
I would put James there.
Yeah, and yeah, James.
Yeah, I put James there.
Thank you, Jay.
I missed him.
I'd put James there as well.
You don't have the Pancik.
Nope.
You don't think Pancik,
you don't think Saxon's a top 10 there?
No.
I don't think Saxon's a top 15.
You think Saxon's gonna be,
you think Yona's gonna be Saxon I
Think they're gonna be really close to each other. But yeah, I think Yona's gonna be in Texas. I
Was watching a mayhem video today and Saxon was saying he just found out like from whenever the video was filmed
He just found out like a week and a half ago
That he got the invite to rogue and that that was only like three weeks out
from travel. So he had just been like working out his affiliate doing whatever he wanted working
out with the class and then he did then he found out that he got an invite. So I mean he's been
just trying to get as ready as he can be. Uh didn't AppleLionan win the first two events at
the semi-final first and first? Um he won the last events at the semi-final first and first
He won the last of it. No, it's gonna be final. Who am I thinking who won the first two event oldest won the first two Oh oldest my oldest in my good pool chair. Okay
All right tier three
Tier three. Tier three.
These would be,
deserves to be there,
or has earned their right to be there.
But you know, I don't expect much of them.
And I would say that's Guy, Cornway, Saxon, and Heinrich.
Guy is probably at the top of that list because it just really depends on the events for him
I think I predicted Gee to be tenth place at this competition
but it's because I think he has a shot to be top three and three events and
That that's the only reason why crossfit games
I don't I think he's lower than everybody that I said in this tier
Do you think as a CrossFitter,
Guy is better than Saxon?
No. No.
Mr. Howell?
No, I just think to John's point,
when you have the ability to win events,
it matters more on a leaderboard
Okay, so gee Cornwalli Saxon Henrik and then in the fourth tier
Jorge Norgos
Is that everyone I?
Think so
All right, BKG would be in tier three.
We didn't say him.
And BKG, I have no problem if you want to put him in tier two.
I just think he's on his way out.
I think he's, I just think he's on the decline.
You think he's going to the games next year to get number 11?
I think if he wants to, he can.
A lot of these guys, when you reach a certain certain if you're top 10 in the world, like legitimately top 10 fittest
guy, you I think you can make the games as long as you want.
If freaking Cole Sager can make the games as long as he has, I
think however long you want to do it, you can do it. And
some of those. Sorry, john, go ahead. I thought you go you made
me lose. I lost. I thought you're good. Go ahead
From what we've heard about
their
Qualifying people directly from the open at least to a semi-final and then from unlike maybe from an online semi-final to the games
What's crazy is that if you go back to that list?
Like there's a handful of people that if they're taking 20 people to the games from online semifinals like they're making it Yana
Like people like that are do their magda
I mean, they're just people online that are so good Noah Noah could Noah is amazing at online competition
Like they're there are guys like that that can just in their own gym with their own music around their own people
They can just they can beat everybody. So that'll be that'll be really interesting if there are in person ways to make it to
the CrossFit Games and then online ways how many of those top tier guys can even get in
an online competition against some of those other ones.
Is that you guys saw that clip where Froning's like hey if the rumblings I'm hearing about
the games are true it's bye bye to the games. Is he referencing the fact that if you can only get there online that the integrity of the
Competition has been compromised
Is that what he's referencing I
Have to imagine he is referencing the fact that we are going to send people to the cross-strait games without competing in person at all
We are going to send people to the cross-strait games without competing in person at all
Maybe not that that is the only way to get there
But that if that's like 50% of the way to get there that that's just not the best decision And if I were to tell you that's not a big deal who cares yours is like no actually it does matter
And you would point to people like Noah. I
Know no Noah Noah's fine, but I would point to people like tutor
Like there there are people who are there and are somebody like left errors theophonitis
You remember him step on you loved him. You love that that little Greek rotted up guy. You know that guy no
I remember 2019
He made it cuz from Greece and you just would not stop talking about his Instagram because he looked crazy on Instagram and
Every online thing he ever did he was first or second. He beat BKG. He'd beat Lazard Dukic
he'd beat all these guys that are like actually good and then you get him in real competition and
He's nothing and like you get people like that and I think like you you know, the nose of the world, they're fine. The
only coasties of the world, they're fine. They've shown at the games that they are the fittest people in the
world. The left terraces is who I have a problem with. Because they're trash. And when you can send people like
that to the games, and then they're going to get gonna get 38th place for whatever reason either they're on drugs
and they can't do them anymore or
They can't compete or they've cheated in their wall balls 14 instead of 20 pounds because you have no way of you have no way
of knowing how if that's true or not, you know what I mean and
Those people will make it
What there's gonna be like just four or five of them and it's gonna be really obvious when you're in person.
You think they're having a problem with those people.
You think there's that kind of cheating going on?
100%.
Yeah.
I think it's very obvious when it gets in person.
No.
No cheating.
No.
Americans don't cheat.
Individual event won 10 rounds, sandbag carry, 400 meter run.
Oh, we have a picture.
We got a picture of the sandbags, right?
Oh yeah.
Are they shaped like Scotland?
I heard it's like every bag you could think of.
I'm so excited to show you guys this I
I had a
Unnamed source send this
Theresa said I put you down did I put you down? I didn't think I put you down I
Didn't hear it if you did, but people would tell me that Brian put me down all the time. I didn't hear that either
So there's a drag bag at the front
That's a that's one of the drag bags that they use last year at the very end of that ruck this yeah
So are you suggesting when you call it a drag bag?
Are you suggesting that that thing is so heavy that it's gonna have to be drug now. They make you that's a handle
Yeah, I think it's and I think that's probably gonna be
one of the lighter ones, not the heavier ones.
I don't know, we'll see.
So JR, you said you had to carry bags.
If you look there, there are 10 there, I believe.
Or four rounds, or six rounds.
You have to carry a bag every round.
You only have to wear your ruck for four of the rounds.
Okay, okay, so one, two, three, four five six seven eight
Is this a bag you think yeah that is?
That looks like a duffel bag. That looks like someone's gear bag
Yeah, I think there's a I think there's a handle on each like in guys through though. Yeah. Yeah, okay
Hey, what if there is a bag that's so heavy you can't carry it. That would be an interesting
Yeah Hey, what if there is a bag that's so heavy you can't carry it that would be an interesting Yeah
Or you can you can move any of them however you want so you can
You can drag any of them if you want like the Jerry bags. I think have to be carried individually
So if you look at the the Jerry bags, there's a who's to fell in between them
Okay, people are gonna have to single side single arm farmer
carry that or they're gonna have to do like a duck walk, like,
like they do in strongman or they're gonna have to, I guess
you could put it on your shoulder. Yeah, maybe put it up
on your shoulder and carry it. Yeah, I wish I wish they had
the maybe not Randy, but like you can name like William, like just a dummy
like Randy, you know what I'm saying?
J.R. like that would be a good one because you know, people struggle with that and like
the, you know, Cole Sager, I think like move faster than everybody like you would get an
advantage on that element that implement and I like that. I wish they had I wish they had something like that
Yeah, do you guys know what athlete that is right there?
No clue that is Taylor how?
All right, I
Don't know. I would love to I would love to see the someone will tell us in the chat
I would love to see the briefing. I would love to see the someone will tell us in the chat. I would love to see the briefing I would love to hear the briefing for this
I guess the commentators will let us know that it'd be very interesting to see what rules there are
Can you throw it drag it put it on your shoulder?
Like I mean for all we know what those Jerry bags Jerry can bags. They're gonna make you carry it by the side. Who knows?
And how far it is like I want to know how far each carry is
Yeah, is it from one side of that huge field all the way to the other is it just I hope it's not in that section
Yeah
All right, the workout guys. It's right here
Individual event one pull out your heat one app now the quicksand ten rounds sandbag carry
We don't know the distance and then a 400 meter run ten rounds
Top three
Jeff Ricky Jason
JR is your big same
Broken clock, I guess I am. Did you see my last place picks too? Who do you got, John?
I couldn't even read your screen. Oh, okay. I have Jeff, Ricky, and Jason as well.
In that order? Yeah. No, he hit it on there.
Let me take a look here. I would love it.
I would love it if James won though, because you know.
I mean, I would pick him for top five easily on this.
I think he'll be good.
I just think he's gonna be hard.
It's hard to beat those guys,
but it would make my day if James won that event because the rest of the competition is not going to go very well for him. But
the, as the fittest man in the world, as the fittest man in the world, like if you won
that first event, man, it would just, it would be so sweet just to tell the naysayers to
F off just for, you know, that event.
Just to tell John Young to F off.
No stop. I love James.
You don't think a 10 rounds is going to be a little much for Mr. Hopper?
Dude, Hopper's going to go great in this. I think the harder, the better for him. One of weighted runs and mindless grunt work like this.
It doesn't get a whole lot better for him.
Dude, I did that high rocks with Hopper
and he was very impressive.
Does Jay Crouch beat Dallin?
No.
Does Justin beat Dallin?
I think they'll be together.
I'd probably pick Dallin, I'd probably pick Dallin.
I'd probably pick Dallin,
but I only just gonna be far off that.
And they're doing two heats for this, right John?
They're doing two heats for this.
Oh, I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't know.
I imagine they are and they're laid out here by rank.
So like we can count 10 names
and that's who will be in the second heat.
So it looks like they'll be the same heat. Can Y heat. Can Yona run? Yeah but with Wade it's a bit different. Anytime you throw on
rucks and stuff he just hasn't been in the mix. He can but I think the weight hurts him more than
others. And who takes last out of Chandler and gee
Challenges gonna be fine. Dude Joe's gonna do fine on this workout. Yeah, Chandler should do well
You're giving him that you're giving him that special
Bonus because he's in the military you think he wakes up when he sleeps with a ruck on
No, I does have a lot of experience rocking but I think every single time there's been a
weighted run or sandbags in the thing, Chandler's been a top five person. Who do you think takes last?
I think I had Caravis taking last. Behind Guy and Jorge? Yeah. All right. Event number two,
Alright, event number two. That's gonna be a fun one to watch. That's exciting. It will be. I'm really excited to watch number two. I was talking about number
one, but yeah number two will be great too. Where is number two? Individual event
two, the North Sea Tiger, Heat 1 app, make your picks now. Echo bike, ring muscle ups, eight squat snatch, six shuttle sprints.
All right, I'm going to go first this time because JR went first last time.
By the way, Sevan, you did not say your top three.
Oh, sorry, Ricky, Jason, Adler.
Same as you guys, different order.
Okay.
I don't hate it.
My event two is Guy and first, Brent Fikowski,
and then Dallin Pepper.
Mm.
Mm.
Mm.
And I have Guy, Dal, and Justin. I like Justin too.
You could argue that in this field, Jason's pretty good, but you could argue that in this field,
those are also the three best shoulder positioning athletes
in the field.
The movements were the snatch, the muscle up,
and the shuttle sprint, and the skier?
Echo.
Echo?
I look at the workout for the guys,
and I just think about the snatching under fatigue just being really really
He's probably got better shoulders. Yeah, his early. He's really good, too. Okay, I got Noah
Jason all right down
Noah Jason down. Yep. I
Think I could see Noah failing a snatch here.
I'm most concerned about him on the shuttle sprints.
I'm least concerned on about the shuttle sprints.
Okay, individual event three, the last event for tomorrow.
Hold on, do you think the shuttle sprints are irrelevant?
I just think it's going to be really hard to pass somebody if they're ahead of you.
By half a shuttle sprint.
Yeah, I'm not sure that the squat snatch with that load is really going to juice the legs.
Like if it was 16 at 135 or if like it was just heavier overhead squat
like I don't I don't know that many people are going to be able to close like if you
start behind someone on the shuttle I don't see you passing.
I don't I don't either.
I don't but I don't know I mean maybe maybe they are 200 feet you know down and 200 feet
back like who knows.
Even then you just kind of get stuck in your
Wherever you are, you know with that. I hope some people get like I hope I hope someone like Jason who's just really fast
Like in a sprint or Ricky. I hope they just I hope they hawk down a couple guys
I think the answer for you John is is
There's there's not a lot of guys who can take advantage of it And so jr just pointed out the two guys who could
For the for most guys, it's probably is irrelevant but not for ricky and jason
We'll see
Maybe maybe even uh adler how fat is saxon fast
Saxon is fast like his brother
Yeah, saxon's fast nose a pretty good sprinter. No, it's fast. Hey in Saxon can snatch
You can
John's just thinking he's gonna get off the echo bike five cows behind everybody. I
Know that he'll get off the echo bike five cows behind everybody
Individual event three eight six four two wall walks compa wall walk complex and then back squat at 375
It ends up being 16
Handstand push-ups then 12 then 8 then 4 I
think
This one is gonna be a complete shit show for some people. I
Think this one's harder to pick than you think. This might be my favorite event.
And not because it would be my best event.
Honestly, the wall walks make it not great, like a great event for me.
But I just think it's so...
I agree with Saban.
I just think a lot of people are gonna get effed up
in a way that they might not have saw.
What happened to the complex R?
What happened?
This is kind of like a specialist workout really.
I mean, it is.
Like especially the complex for that many reps,
like there are some people you just know,
it doesn't matter how much they pace it doesn't matter how well they squat
They just are not gonna be able to go through the complexes as fast
And I think I think the wall walk complex is much more important than the back squat and the back squat like screams at
You right and people see that but I think it's the wall walk complex is far more important. I
agree Shall I go first? Yeah, sure Noah I think the wall-wall complex is far more important. I agree.
Shall I go first? Yeah, sure.
Noah,
wow, Jay,
and Jeff Adler.
Before you guys go, what happens if you drop the bar?
You have to de-fucking weight it, clean it, get it
back up on the rack. I think that's what they've done the last two
years is that you have to take weight off and then clean it and put it back up.
Goodnight Heidi. Okay I'll go next. In my third place, I'm taking a little bit of a risk. I don't believe in it at all, but that's who I'm rocking with.
I think who I picked for last place is more likely to come through than who I picked for
third, but this is what I'm rocking with.
So number one, I picked Jeff.
Number two, I picked Justin.
Number three, I went with Guy.
I just don't know if it's too much fitness.
For Guy? Yeah.
JR.
So I have a mixture of you guys.
I have Noah, Sam and Guy.
So I think this could be an event
that Sam could crush for sure.
He's-
Quan?
Yeah, no, no, no, Quan Wei.
He's a good squatter and he's really good at pressing.
I mean, I think he'll do really well on this.
And I have Guy Third also.
And I think this is a kind of workout that Noah will come out really, really hot on and
like he normally does, but I think no one will be able to catch him.
Like I could definitely see him doing that.
Why not Jay Crouch crazy strong?
Strength to weight ratio small guys shouldn't have any problems crushing the handstand the wall walk. Yeah, I could see him doing well, too
He's not a bad day. That's the hard thing about this field in these events
Especially the ones like this that are probably gonna be pretty tight
You can pick a couple handfuls of guys and not have a bad pick.
Saxon? Yonakowski?
I don't believe in those two people. So every time you ask those two people, I straight
up just don't believe in them.
Right. Right. You're not going to be shocked if you want to finish his top three, but you
just can't you just can't put your there's so many inconsistencies
You just can't put your money there. I'm never gonna predict him to do well
The games is different
Let me ask you what about Justin is Justin falling into the into that? No, I've got I picked Justin be second place in the competition
And and he won his semi-final last year
Justin did?
Yeah, right, didn't he?
Correct.
Okay.
So he's shown that he's capable of being still a winner.
Yeah, and I mean, Justin's calling card is his execution.
And I know it's wavered,
it's not as perfect record as it used to be, but I still think he executes workouts
to his fullest ability better than just about everybody else.
Dallin's also very, very good.
And I think a lot of these workouts
are how good do you execute?
And I just think he's better at that than everybody else.
And a lot of these workouts are stuff that he is good at
And if it's stuff he's good at
with the execution I
Just think that he's gonna do really really really well bro
And he's always done really good at rogue the only times he did rogue he won both times 2022 2023
And it's because he of what I said what I just said
23 and it's because he of what I said what I just said
And out of Brent Ricky and Pat and anyone else you want to throw in there
Is this a damage control workout and by that? I mean they have to make sure that they don't do a squat that they fail
That they don't over commit on the handstand push-ups that they know they can't win it
But they could lose the competition because of it
Is that
Yeah, yeah, I mean I don't think those those three guys I don't know if they can push this workout
well, like they they need to be smart about it and
And what more about the handstand the wall walk handstand push-up than anything?
I think they're all gonna be fine in the squats No, they're not Jeff and anything. I think they're all going to be fine on the squats.
No, they're not Jeff Adler, but I think they're all going to be fine on the squats.
But all three of those guys have failed in a miraculous way.
And you just, you just, you know, you can't do that.
So they are going to be smart about it.
If you do these first eight back squats unbroken, do you know
then that you can do the rest of them unbroken because it's a descending ladder? For the
most part. JR? Yeah, for sure. I was just going to say the thing that people need to take into consideration is the break
that they're gonna get between the first 16 wall facing handstand pushups and eight wall
walks and then the next six and 12 is not gonna be a long time because they're gonna
go to the bar and they're gonna rack and they're gonna squat eight times regardless if they
take a big breath at the top or not,
they're gonna be right back on the wall before you know it.
So that,
in 14 of the 20 wall walks,
and what,
28 of the 40 handstand pushups are right there
in the beginning of the workout.
So the opportunity to blow up
is right there waiting for you.
So what you're saying is,
is if you have to take a break on those back squats,
you shouldn't feel bad because that's just,
well, especially after your first set of wall walks,
you shouldn't feel bad because that's just time
to give your shoulders time to recover.
It's more just like, what are you hurrying up for
to go back over the wall
and lay there after the first two complexes?
Like that's one of those things. This is a, go ahead. J.R. Sorry.
No, no, you're good. I, I, I, I, I, I know people look at event two as,
as high stakes pressure execution.
Event three is two event three is two. You, you have to be very,
very aware of how quick is too quick as far as going up into your next wall walk.
Cause you don't want to do a wall walk and not get the two reps. You don't never want to do a wall walk and get one and then fail.
Because then you've wasted a handstand push up, you've wasted a wall walk,
and you failed a rep. So now you're pretty much done.
I'll put it like this, Sevan. I'm pretty good at handstand push ups.
And I did eight wall walks with two handstand push ups and I did eight wall walks with two handstand push ups
I did eight of these complexes at the gym and then and had three side like I was going to do the
event because I thought it'd be good at the event and straight up said I don't want to do the rest
of the event and then I just stopped and did something else. Wow, wow. Because it was a lot
more taxing than I thought it was going to be. I didn't think it was gonna be very, very bad at all.
Like, you know, it would be fatiguing,
but it's stuff I'm good at.
I thought I could just go nice and slow and not fail.
You know what I mean?
And be somewhat quick.
Did you do those for 16 on Rogan?
No, I did like four and then sat up
and shook around a little bit.
And then I did four.
And then I was like, I'm done done I'm gonna go do something else. Wow okay all right good
to know good good little perspective. Okay workout number four this is day two
open up that heat one app thousand meter, 30 thrusters at 135, 30 log muscle ups, 30 thrusters at 135, thousand
meter row.
Oh boy.
I think JR is first in this one.
What does possible sound like for your business?
It's the ability to reach further with access to over 1400 lounges worldwide.
Redefine possible with Business Platinum.
That's the powerful backing of American Express.
Terms and conditions apply. Visit amex.ca slash business platinum.
So I like, um, take your time, JR, no rush.
I like Pat, Ricky, Justin. I like Pat on this one. I think he kind of lays, I think day
one isn't going to be amazing for him, but he's gonna, he's gonna do well on a few on
day two and three.
It's interesting. I have your same people, but a different order. I have Ricky and then
Pat and then Justin
And I think they're all kind of gonna be together and I think Ricky's gonna finish three log muscle ups ahead of them and then
Just have you know enough of a lead
It just doesn't matter and it'll be a race on the road between Pat and Justin and Pat will outrode
And it'll be a race on the road between Pat and Justin and Pat will out row
You got seven
Dallin
Jason
Solid James that's sarcasm. All Alright. Is that sarcasm?
Though they might be the three worst people at this workout.
Hahahaha
They're gonna do fantastic on the
They're gonna do fantastic on the
Row. All three of them.
All three of them. Yeah, they're all three kill that row.
They are going to do
Fantastic on the thrusters.
I know you think it's a
Large range of motion for them. But you also pick Pat and Pat's got gorilla arms. You're right. You're right so far
you're right and
You think that Pat's gonna do good on this on the bar muscle ups because you're stuck in 2012 where Pat's a good gymnast
Well, really he's just got a couple good gymnastics tricks up his sleeve
Okay, you're talking about Pat, tell
me about Jason and Dallin and James. They they're gonna want it more than than these
other guys Ricky's Ricky's Ricky's gonna want it Justin's gonna you think Justin's execution
is gonna be good but I think it's gonna fuck up his pacing he's gonna go too slow. Okay.
Do you want to know where Jason finished in the log muscle-up workout last year and things have changed?
Oh, you're right. You know, I heard he's working. He's you know
Getting tips from a couple people. So
You think I should switch Jason and James you think I should put James? Oh, no, I haven't gotten started on James
And
Listen Jason might be a lot better the log muscle-ups than he was I do not put that past him at all
But if you're that bad at it
Unless you're Matt Fraser
I just don't see him being at the level that Ricky and Pat are at it
But go ahead and guess what he got last year at the log muscle workout. Oh
I don't know. He was 19th out of 20 and I'm pretty sure last place was hurt. So the last place person
What what was the what was it in conjunction with what movement?
Back squats or no. No, it was law skiing and GHD go let's okay
But let's go the year previous right because there was a lot of fear previous
First year first year was log ski, GHD ski log.
Doesn't matter. He finished the same spot. So back squat, something he's pretty good at. He's
back squatted 500. Like he's pretty strong. 19th place out of 20. Let's go the year previous. It's
skiing and GHD is not the bestDs, is the best at skiing.
What did he finish in the long muscle up workout?
19th out of 20 place.
Hopper has routinely been the worst one.
At the log muscle ups.
Period.
Now.
It kind of reminds me of Fraser taking last one year
in an event and coming back and winning it.
What did Fraser get last then? And he's HWPO wasn't in the sprint event or something? Yeah
but there's stuff that went into that. What did he get in the sprint event
after the year that he did good in the sprint event? Like 20th place. Now I
don't put it past Hopper to be better. I really don't. I honestly expect him to be
better. I just don't expect him to be with the best people.
I do.
JR, is that fair of me to say or no?
It sounded very fair. You made a tremendous argument.
It's reasonable. I don't know about the F word, but it's reasonable.
All right. Dallin Pepper, he's only seen it once. Again, I think he might be much improved, but it's hard to pick him with the best people. Last year he was 14th or 15th or something in the bottom tier of the log muscle-up workout.
Whose other guy you said?
James Sprague?
Yes.
You know, I have no idea what James Sprague, but if Hopper and Down were both bad at it,
they're bigger guys, I just don't think James is going to be great at it.
So I'm just going to go out on a limb. Do you think James's feet will hit the ground?
I don't know if it's standardized or not. I don't know.
It was one height in the past, but I think it's tall enough for everyone to get up there.
JR, do you have a log at crash? Yeah. I rest my case. But it was installed like a day
before Jason left. So it's not like he's not doing it all year. No, I like Pat. I like that.
That's good, dude. That's good, dude. I saw I saw Pat crying in a video after Trump won. He's a good dude.
In joy or in a not joy?
Did you uh Trudeau called and congratulated Trump. I thought that was pretty funny.
All right individual event five look at it just lined up right there for us.
All right, individual event five. Look at it, just lined up right there for us.
Three rope climbs,
burpee with a hundred pound dumbbell, 21 of those.
Three more rope climbs and then 21 burpees
with a hundred pound seer bell.
It's a dumbbell with like a monster grip on it.
And then three more rope climbs.
Some people call it the devil's press.
I call it the Jesus swing.
Why?
I just like it better.
If you uh, not blasphemy, if you're um, lock box was 666, but you can make it 777, would
you?
Yes.
There you go.
Let's go to the workout.
Five is for man, six is for Satan, seven is for Sevan.
Okay, here we go.
Bunch of snatches with a burpee in it and some rope climbs.
You get to use your legs.
As far as we know, yeah.
I think it's to a 20 foot though.
It's to the top of Zeus.
I'm interested to see, JR, we might think differently on this one.
So I'm going first.
I can going first. I can go first.
You want to go ahead and name some people?
Yeah, I have two of my guys lined up already.
I got Chandler and Jason.
God, I'm going to go with Gee too. I'm going to go with Jason. God, I'm going to go with Guy too.
I'm going to go with Jason.
Where's my name?
Over here.
I'm going to go with Jason, Guy, and then Chandler.
Okay.
All right.
You want me to go next?
Yes. I got Brent and then Pat and then Justin.
I really don't want you to feel bad after this one, John.
They're not bad choices.
Thank you, Seva.
You're welcome.
And I got Pat, Brent, Jason. You're welcome. And I got Pat Brent Jason.
Okay, cool.
Who's the best rope climber in the group?
Probably Pat, but Brent's right there.
The 20 foot, I think helps Brent.
If he can get up there in one less pool,
it would benefit him, but I don't know if that balance is out. No, Guy and Jason are the best rope climbers. I think paddle I think paddle burpee faster than Brent
That's kind of where I'm that's kind of where I'm giving them the edge
I really don't think you can bet against Pat on a workout with burpees, especially not one with burpees and rope climbs
But I don't I don't disagree. Why aren't you guys picking Guy? He's the best rope climber
You think he's just gonna burn out and he's just and he's strong moving weight off the ground to his
head over his head
Why is he the best rope climber? He just is I don't fucking know he just is he's the most athletic one
He's the bad most athletic one and you know, it's only three if he can use his legs
Oh, you guys like all those little tricks Brent does with the rope. They like give him those one-second advantages
No, I just think nine nine of them in a workout with 42 burpees, if grip becomes an issue,
I think the most efficient rope climbers are going to do the best.
And I think...
And they're not in 20 foot ropes too.
I know it's not a lot extra, but it's a little bit extra.
Height will probably matter.
Who do you think takes last?
Caravus.
Or besides him?
Jorge.
Uh, besides him?
Heinrich.
Uh, besides him?
I think Heinrich would do pretty good on this.
Yeah, well, I mean, just look around though.
Like he's gotta be fitter than these guys.
Yeah.
I don't disagree with you,
but I don't think he's gonna be quant.
You know what I mean?
Like that's who I'm going against right now.
Hey, you think Noah comes out too hot on this one too?
I think this one's gonna be kind of hard
to come out too hot on.
Like you could come out too hot,
but like it's short enough
that I don't think it would burn you that badly.
You think anyone doesn't dilly-dally in the transitions?
You think anyone moves the transitions fast?
I think they'll all move the transitions fast.
I wonder if they're gonna like,
if they're gonna do seven advanced,
do seven advanced, do seven,
and then go back to the rope and then do seven, or if they're gonna do 21 advanced, do seven advanced, do seven, and then go back to the rope and then do seven,
or if they're gonna do 21 in the same spot.
So.
I would like the seven advanced,
make them like carry it and then go into it again.
Yeah.
All right.
I feel like a lone wolf out here.
And very insecure all alone
number six final event for day two
Yeah, you know number six. I got ghee and then Jeff and then Jason
ghee
Jeff
Jason
Jeff, Jason, Jar. And I've got Guy and then Jeff and then Heinrich.
I'm going to give him some love on this one.
Oh, okay.
So I think if it's something where you have to like throw something or load something,
I think his height is going to play a role and he is good at odd object strength.
So if it is an odd object lift, I like his skills there.
I also think he could do good in like a Denny Stone hold
or something weird like that you know.
But the problem is you got a lot of guys who could be good at that.
But he's one of them.
Okay, you ready?
I'm ready, let's hear it.
Justin.
Chandler,
Dallin. Event number seven. I would really like to pick a Saxon for something. Did my window close already?
Did my window close already?
You can pick them for this one. I think you can pick them for eight.
Individual event seven.
Pegboard, skier, GHD, pegboard, skier, GHD, pegboard, skier, GHD, pegboard.
60, 40, 20 on the GHD.
Is this just going to be how you lose it on the pegboard? Is this,
is this all going to be just about who shits the bed on the pegboard?
Who has the most fuck ups on the pegboard?
No, I kind of think it's kind of like the pegboard might be a wash outside of a
few people that are able to either do it with bent arms or able to skip some
holes on the way down.
But I think GHD cadence and ski pace are going
to really come into play. So I'm, I'm picking it based on the idea that, Hey, most of these
guys are going to be pretty similar on the pegboard. So who is the best at that GHD ski
combination? They love this combo. Don't they? They love it. The, the programmers? Yeah, yeah. I guess, Speeler and Josh, because they-
Yeah, they did.
They've done-
Every year.
They did Medball GHD Skierg with the Hill Run one year, and then one year they did Skierg
into GHD back into Skierg.
Well no, into the log muscle-up.
How do you guys remember that?
That's what I was talking about.
Log, ski, GHD, ski log.
None of that shit sticks for me
Well, there was one guy that was better than everybody at that every single time
Yes, I'm gonna go. I'm gonna go first. I'm gonna go Justin Chandler Jay. I
Would have picked Jay to win it if he wasn't retarded and put his stuff up online
retarded and put his stuff up online.
I like his comfort level on it. I think if the, if there are people that can separate just because of how
efficient they are at that, I'm just going to go and say that it's him.
But I, I feel really confident about Justin Chandler.
You're picking him based on you think he's going to be better on the pegs.
I think he's one of the, I think he's going to be better on the pegs.
I think he's one of the,
I think he's one of the few people that can make a difference on the peg.
How about that? You know, our Adler Noah just out cause they're so goofy learning new shit.
They, but I mean,
Adler hasn't been the best that ski GHT combo period. Um, but I mean,
that comes into play, I think a little bit too. Yeah, I'm gonna help you out a little bit
Okay. Thank you, John
You should not pick Chandler
Okay, why is it is like a finger issue and hanging from the pegboard or something what I it's gonna be bad
Okay, is he goofy? You'll see.
No, no. Okay. I was really just more...
So basically what John's saying is as good as he is at the ski GHD,
he's gonna make up for that on his lack of prowess on the pegboard, right? Yeah.
Gotcha.
Okay, cool. Well, I'll just stick with them. And then if that happens, I'm
surprised you didn't pick Pat because Velner has been second
on. Well, I guess I guess in the heat. Yeah, I'm trying to
spread the love a little bit. I got you throw some names out that
I haven't been thrown out. No, you're better at that than I am.
I just want to be right. Justin, Pat and Dallin is who I'm rocking with.
Justin, Pat, Dallin.
So Justin spent a lot of time on the pegboard wrestler.
Not even that.
He's just the best at like, like what JR said, I agree with.
I think the pegboard is going to be for the most part negligible. And
so I Justin is the best one period at the GHG ski combo and mainly just because the
GHG is he's the best GHG in the world. His speed is better than everybody. So for against Velner. Better than Colton's? And Velner, yeah, better than Colton's.
Velner who was second in most of those events.
Yeah, Taylor could not be in the same category as Justin in GHTs.
He's gonna love that I said that too.
Velner who was second place in this combo, most like in both the times that they went
against each other and in the heat.
I know Chandler beat him, but he was the heat previous so it's hard
playing times wise, but Justin makes up a GHG for every six to seven GHGs that Pat does.
So if they did 60 GHGs, Justin would do 10 faster than Pat make up 10 reps. That's very
significant.
You know who, you know, I wonder how Sam does on the pegboard.
Cornway?
Yeah.
He should be good.
Probably pretty good.
I mean, I think he's a good pick for this.
I'm going with Saxon, Justin, Sam.
Could you go back to the workout real quick?
I just want to point something out to the listeners and as we're talking about maybe
the pegboard not playing as major of a role unless you're really, really, really good
at it or really poor at it.
The order of this really does matter of these movements.
If they would have done pegboard,HD ski pegboard GHD ski pegboard
So you had to go from the pole into the pole. It would probably be more
Of a factor the fact that the upper body like the arms get reprieve
During the 60 and the 40 GHD I think is a big deal and it's it's it's a it's a bigger deal for people that may
Have been slowed down a lot more on the on the pegboard
How about your core just being crushed on that last pegboard?
Like you might not realize how much core it takes to do a pegboard until you fucking get because these people these guys are used
To putting their foot on the wall. They're not used to that shit dangling. Yeah, but what they are saying is that
you're
They're on the pegboard for a long time. Is it two or three?
I think it's three. So if it's three pegboards across it's not a fast thing. It's very slow
Like you're on there
30 to 40 seconds
At least and like that's a long time just to be hanging and
And doing the pegboard. So what he's saying is if you skied before the pegboard
and now you have the pegboard,
just juices up your forearm, it juices up your grip
and now you gotta hang 30 to 40 seconds.
And that would make people wait at the pecs.
I get that, but I think also is people
are gonna feel it here.
With the people. I think so too. For sure. They're…
Between the pubis and the collarbone or the nipples, they're going to…
Yeah.
I was actually surprised how much midline doing a lateral pegboard was.
It was…
It's crazy, right?
Especially if you're not used to doing…
A lot more than you think because you're trying to keep yourself from swinging too
much and trying to keep yourself from swinging is just tightening your midline
So you just flexed up the whole time? Yeah, would you just let the swing go then?
uh, I think if you could time it with your
Moving the pegs it could it could help but
It's a lot more grip too because you're you're swinging back and forth. So yeah, we don't have details on that yet either
I don't think the athletes do either.
I'm pretty sure they haven't been briefed on anything other than one, two,
and three.
So it'll be interesting to see if it is unbroken or, or fail.
Like if you do have to get all the way across,
I can't imagine it's not unbroken and if it's not, it should have been,
Oh shit. Event nine is some taking something off the ground again.
I wouldn't be surprised. I mean, look at, there's nothing coming off the ground again. Nope. I wouldn't be surprised.
I mean, look at, there's nothing coming off the ground in, um, in event, uh,
it's really just snatch, devil press and probably six.
Yeah.
So event nine, event nine is going to be something crazy off the ground.
Well, I mean, we speculated it it's gonna be a barbell cycling workout
Probably in cleaning clean and jerking. You do you think any chance to introduce something new? Okay, we'll get there in a second
I'm getting ahead of myself mandate three rounds the heavy
Jump rope double unders and what do they mean by heavy? How heavy is that? I think the handles are a pound each
Okay, and in a thicker rope
uh it is a little it is a it is a thicker cable yeah i think it's a weighted i think it's a
weighted cable and a weighted handle and do do the boys do this unbroken all three rounds
i'd be impressed if someone did three rounds of I bet somebody does the double owners and broken
But I'm sure they will it will be hard. Not everybody will yeah, like it will be I the rope is the main part of this workout
Obviously hand sandwalk speed but it's made on the rope
Agree, and then you got to get a hundred pound crazy strong man looking dumbbell, right? It looks like it's out of the cartoons.
That's Seer Bell.
Looks like something Popeye would have.
Yeah, the handle is like a regular handle,
but the heads of it are huge.
100 pounds, they got a walk 50 feet,
lunge 50 feet with it over their head,
and then 100 feet of handstand walk.
You know, I think it would be a better finish
if the lunges, when the lunges come at the end,
but we'll discuss that in a second.
Okay, three rounds of that.
I always like, I always like a lunge race at the end.
Can't think of a bad event.
Yeah.
You got lunges, you got carry,
you got some kind of a sled push, and then I think you got handstand
walk. I think all those, anything where you're moving your body or you're moving something down
a field is probably the best way to do it. I feel like the guys have gotten so good at handstand
walk that the suspense is like slowly leaving it. I got you. So like if it was a hundred foot
unbroken requirement, there might be a little bit of suspense. Sure. A lot, dude.
No, no, I'm not saying it is.
I'm just saying to seven's point, if there was something where there was some risk involved,
it might create more of a race at the end.
You want me to go first in this one?
Yes.
I got Dallin.
Ricky Brent.
Hold your applause.
You know what's interesting about putting Ricky, they're going to win for different, they're going to, they're going to do well in this for different reasons.
The, the, the thing with Ricky is he, I mean, he's, he's willing to hold on
probably till his arm falls off.
Yeah. The thing with Ricky is he's willing to hold on probably till his arm falls off. Yeah, I know Ricky's a very fast handstand walker.
And I like the fact that I think Brent and Allen are going to get a little bit ahead of people on the lunge.
Because it's 50 feet.
You know, it's not...
I just think they're gonna...
You know, Brent always catches people on the lunge.
Always.
He might wait till the last round before you see it, but he lunges better, especially under
fatigue than most people.
And it's hard to realize unless you're just watching the last bit of a lunge to the finish.
But he always ends up chipping like three people during the lunge.
And I think Dallin is is extremely good jump roper. I think Sam Kwant is a good dark horse for this
Because he's also an extremely good jump roper with the heavy rope
But yeah, I'm rocking with Dallin Ricky and Brent
Chandler's gonna get time kept on this, huh? It's not going to be one of his better events.
I'm going to answer Sarah's comment while the silence is deafening.
Sarah, we're going to go live on the spin cast at 355 a.m. 355 a.m. Central time so I don't know what that is for you, but Central time 355 a.m
We're gonna go live. We're gonna cover the strong women and then we're gonna take a break and then we'll cover crossfit at around
And then Sarah that we're I'm gonna go live tomorrow at 6 45 a.m. here for the
post shows. Then at 7 a.m. we're going to take a little break. Bear Handlin's coming
on to make an announcement from Born Primitive. And then we have an 8 40 show and a 12 20 show
tomorrow. 6 45 8 40 12 20.
Okay. Event number eight. It's got some lunging. It's got some handstand walking. It's got some
jump roping.
I like Brenda Allen, Jason. I put John's in your account in your column. Sorry. Who do you who do you like? Jer? Brent,
Dallin and Jason.
A lot of that's because I know how much how much Zeus double under Jason's done like in the last year? It's been crazy
Just how much he's how much work he's done with that rope
And he's got he's got good overhead good overhead stability
So I think it ultimately this is gonna come down to shoulder stamina like Chris said
This event because it's the second last event is where some heart is going to have to start showing
And so
Oh, we're gonna pick james because he has the biggest heart for first ricky
Because he's got the most grit and jay because he has the best attitude one two three
Cause he's got the most grit in Jay because he has the best attitude. One, two, three.
All right.
James, James, Ricky, Jay.
I wish this was event nine.
I would be more confident with my, uh, uh, picks.
Okay.
Number nine.
What do we think it is?
I just think it's barbell cycling of some sort.
You think it's just one movement over and over and over?
I mean, it might be mixed with something, but barbell cycling will be,. You think it's just one movement over and over and over? I mean, it might be mixed with something,
but barbell cycling will be the crux.
It's just, that's how it's been every single year.
And Rogue has not,
they've shown a pattern of they're gonna repeat things
over and over.
Like it's not, they don't, they don't.
Tell me what they've been doing.
They ever do a DT, they did a grace.
They did heavy grace,
and then they did kind of a mix of grace with different
variations of cleans and with double unders in it
So so you you think that they could do a couplet
die
They could do a whole bunch of things but barbell cycling will be the what makes the workout
They don't have a hill right they don't have a Hill, right?
They don't have a Hill this time.
I don't think so.
It's called Crookshanks mound.
It's called what?
Modern Hill.
Crook Crookshanks mound.
I don't get it. Edward Crookshanks Mound. I don't get it.
Edward Crookshanks, he was the king during...
Braveheart.
Braveheart.
Oh.
Alright, let's pick number nine.
Alright, I got Jeff.
Feel very safe with that pick.
And then I got Dallin. And then I got Jeff, feel very safe with that pick.
And then I got Dallen and then I got Brent.
You see a common theme here.
Jeff, Dallen, Brent.
Big mistake.
And I'm gonna go Jeff, Justin, Dallen.
Jeff, Justin, Dallen.
I think you have Dallin and Justin backwards.
And I could see Justin doing really, really well in a lot of these.
I think a lot of these workouts, I think Brent will do well.
But even if I don't think he'll podium, so I'm our top three in the event, but then I
just put him there because I want him to do well.
It's his last competition.
Yeah, and you know, last year they did Heavy Grace,
I'm sorry, two years ago they did Heavy Grace.
Last year they did clean variations
where they had some squat cleans.
I could absolutely just see them doing
30 squat clean thrusters at 225, just 30 clusters
per time.
And when I think about that, I think about Justin because I think just about how good
of a squatter he is.
Yeah.
I mean, Brent would not be the guy.
Because you look at the programming.
But they got 60 thrusters.
Yeah.
I don't think they're going to do that.
But what I'm saying is, I don't put it past
them to squat again. They're doing 60 thrusters, they're only doing eight squats snatch. Is
there any other squatting that I'm just forgetting about? Is that it? I think that's it. So for
nine events only to have two squats doesn't feel like enough for me.
It's a squat clean ladder in event six.
Sure. I mean, it could be a squat in event six.
And then I would love it if event nine was an on object.
I think that would be really cool
if it was something like strong man.
I mean, I just, I still think-
Amazing to end it on.
Yeah, I just, I still think that
that there still could be some squatting to come.
And it makes me think of Justin.
I really like my picks if it's atlas stones
Okay, you you have to know who's gonna win this event. You have to understand how synchronicity works and
Since down is gonna win the 2025 CrossFit Games. He has to win this event because it makes that statement
It's like we can look back and be like, oh shit
He won the last event at rogue and he just kept the momentum going so you got down in first
Then you got Ricky the problem with Ricky is can Ricky's body hold up for an entire competition
So probably deserve a second pick in there
And then Jason and third. I will say if
Dallin needs to win to hold his spot on the mountain if that means anything to him
The thing the thing with Jason is
Jason can show up for game day
and
If he sees down if he in how he how Jason works is if he
sees Dallin doing well, he thinks he can do well, because he
looks at Dallin and James and that's how he calibrates
himself. Like so so Jason and Dallin think they can win the
games because they saw James win the games and they think they're
better than Jason. Sorry, they think they're better than James.
I don't know if they think they can win the games because they think they're better than James. I don't know if they think they can win the games because they think they're better than
James.
I think they just think they can win the games.
Well, they think that they're better than James.
Yeah.
They train with them.
They're like, what the fuck this knucklehead one?
Not on that day.
Yeah, exactly.
For all the game day player you're saying Hopper is.
And they're mistaken too. But but I but I understand the sentiment
Except downs not mistaken
Down down that's that's the future of the sport. All right, uh, great great show
When we know more when we know the last two workouts
Probably not until the day of like they did this last year. They didn't announce the event
until after event four.
I think, oh, for six?
Yeah.
Okay.
Like they might, they might announce events six and nine at the same time, but I remember
it was like, it wasn't until all the events were over, we didn't know what the event was
and then they announced it. Just a similar to the CrossFit games,
like how Dave does it sometimes.
You got a winner for this event, for Rogue,
taking home the big bucks?
I do.
Who is that?
It's Jeff Adler.
Adler.
JR?
I wouldn't disagree with that
With this with with the workouts that we know so unless six and not six or nine is something funky
I think is a pretty safe bet
You got you got Ricky on the podium I don't
Ricky's fourth place for me. I
I don't.
Ricky is fourth place for me.
I got I got Jeff and then I have Justin
getting second and then I have down and getting third.
And then Ricky and then Brent
and then Hopper.
And then down there.
You think film is going to retire.
I think he's going to get seventh place.
J.R. who do you got Adler?
Yeah, that's all I've really thought about who I who I think is gonna win. I haven't thought about anything else. All right
I'm going with Ricky. I
Would love to go with Ricky but I went really hard on Ricky this whole like the whole of last year
like Ricky garage gonna win the CrossFit Games, I think Ricky guards the fittest man in the world and
He's just he's
gotten a habit of just
Not doing not performing to his potential whether he gets hurt whether he rides a mountain bike
I'm just kind of tired of
like it's always something.
And I'm almost at the point where until he shows me he can,
I'm not going to predict him to win competitions like that.
I don't want to say he's in the same category as Yona and Sam Quant.
Like, he's not quite that unpredictable, but he's showing signs of.
There's like that might be some duct tape under the hood, holding
some shit together. I mean, Romans the same way I was high on Roman the year previous and they both,
they both just, they just don't perform to the high, like what you think their potential could be.
Hey, you think we could see the new rogue bike at the event?
what you think their potential could be. Hey, you think we could see the new rogue bike at the event?
They have a new bike? Event six? Yeah, they made, they just created a bike.
Surprised JR hasn't proposed that or maybe you have. They already have an echo bike so I would be surprised. Yeah, I just wouldn't be, I would be surprised if they, I thought they could use it on
like an event one type situation but when they announced what that was I didn't think they were gonna use it
No, I don't think is ands in the same bucket is falling apart. I think is and just has some just you know
She's a ten and so many things and then she got some eights and nines mixed in there
Well, no, I think she's a six and one and a certain thing and that's all the games tested
But what I'm saying is she doesn't she she's not, she's not, she's not falling apart.
No, no. I think her games placement was solely the base in the programming.
How old is Alex?
24.
Yeah. Ricky's what 30, 31,
28. 28. No, no, no. He might be 30. Me and Ricky.
Yeah. I thought he was 30 but maybe maybe
he's not he's got some surgeries under his belt all right cool guys what a day
tomorrow is gonna be crazy we'll be going live at 6 45 a.m. we'll start the
coverage Bear Hanlon will come on at seven for an announcement. Hopefully I won't be alone, but maybe I will be.
That's 6.45 a.m. Pacific Standard Time.
Make sure you fill out the Heat One app ahead of time.
We're still unsure of how Kil Taylor's gonna go down
this week.
I think the prize money this week is 1,500.
If you'd like to be a sponsor for Kil Taylor,
reach out to me.
My DMs are hitSooza.
Probably better to hitSooza. never DM the sebon podcast Instagram and if you'd like to see the
best coverage in the history of strongwoman competition flip flip on rogue
and then turn on the barbell spin YouTube channel, you'll hear John Young.
Infamous for the Mitchell Hooper running.
Tyler Watkins and Brian spin drool over these.
It might just be me and spin in the morning.
These full figured women. What time is that for me?
1 55. me. 155. I really I would really want to do it with you guys I think it's gonna be so
funny. Well if there's a later one we'll come get you know. Or if you want to stay awake
you can. Just stay up all night I'll be a fucking wreck tomorrow. Well, all right. Also coming in July of
2025 right out of Houston, Texas
Yes, sir John Young get ready
Grid League watch out and John it sounds like your shoes and some apparel are on their way
Sweet. All right. Thank you
Yeah, thank you. All right. Thanks guys. Hey, when is crucible?
Next over when's crescendo. Yeah. Thank you. When's crescendo? I don't know yet
I need the powers of e to give me some dates and you know, you need you need the
Crossfit to come out with what they got going on
No, sir. Please. I what you're waiting for. Yeah because for teams
like if crescendo is gonna be a tune-up for semi-finals then
it needs to be far enough away from semi-finals to where teams will still want to come. So like a month out and if they teams are not competing in person for semi-finals and they're
like going online to the crossfit games and I can move it back a little bit and put it
a little like in May. So yeah. in person for semi-finals and they're like going online to the CrossFit Games
and I can move it back a little bit and put it a little like in May.
And would it be a tune up to the CrossFit Games then?
Pretty much. So yeah.
I love the trailer for the new doc. So they'll give a date and then you'll give a date.
Yeah. I kind of have to do it that way.
Did you guys see the trailer for the new documentary?
No.
Oh, did you see it?
John?
I know.
Oh, it's really good.
The one from 2023.
Yeah.
All these people are making fun of it because it's coming out.
It's like, what do I fucking care?
I don't even remember who won.
I'm excited to see it.
Do you remember who won?
Yeah.
Oh.
All right.
Oh, is that the one where Roman hurt himself?
Yeah.
One foot of double unders
are probably gonna make a big appearance.
You're not interested in that,
either of you guys, in watching that?
I mean, all that, I'll probably I'll probably watch it but that stuff
plays in a movie in my head in any way it's just kind of like watching the same movie.
Sevan can't remember who won in the bedroom.
Bye bye.
