Someone's at your door? Someone's on the security camera? Are you in danger? Do you need a gun? Bam, we're live. No, I gotta shut off the... I don't know where this tab is open. I got a million fucking things going on.

We're right back. I gotta figure this out. Okay, yeah, figure it out. End of day one. Three events in the... book. Boy, I have seen some outtakes from Colton Mertens being mic'd up. What a great mini-doc we have coming for you with Colton Mertens.

And I think we're going to have something equally as fantastic presented by CA Peptides regarding Dallin Pepper, Ricky Mack, and Jason Hopper. Exciting day one. Fikowski and Fikowski and Colton were both fun to watch. Roman was fun to watch. Roman did what he needed to do there at the end, huh? Coming in. I mean, not enough probably to make it into the top 10,

but it looked like he was truly going to shit the bed, and I think he made it to the toilet Halbin, John is the best CrossFit analyst The only Triple Crown analyst on BFF Spin He won the bet I don't know what you mean by that But sure, of course, John is the man Everyone knows that

Sam Quant, yes The Quanter Won the Samwell Quant, it looks like the blonde haired Superman won that last event what was that called is that Cordito no Deja Vu Deja Vu

and on the women's side it was Emma Carey doing Emma Carey stuff it reminds me of that Roy Jones I think it's Roy Jones boxing comment when he said, you must've forgot. It is easy to forget,

but she is the kind of athlete who can stick it out and put it to the best in the world. And some of these grinds and put it to an Emma Lawson or a Laura or Tia. She's has, has Emma beat ever beat Tia even is she, does she have an event win at the game? Yeah. Carrie. I've thought in my head. She doesn't. All right. Has Emma ever beat Tia even? Does she have an event win at the games? Emma?

Yeah, Carrie? I've thought in my head she doesn't. All right. Here is the leaderboard currently sitting in second place. Currently sitting in first place. Wow. Look at Gabby. Gabby. I didn't want to say Gabby.

A fourth, a fourth, a fourth. She has three fourths. That's going to be really tough to beat. Emma Carey with the 12th, a second, fourth a fourth she has three fourths that's going to be that's going to be really tough to be uh emma carrie with the 12th a second and a first daniel brandon with an eighth a fifth and a fifth you may be wondering uh wait a second what happened to the lady who was in first place uh at the last break well the score uh androsic score had been put in wrong. Incorrectly. And so when we saw her, they had her placed at first place. Do you remember that?

In the Cordito? Well, she didn't take first in that. She may have to go back to shitting the bed on everything. Yeah, so we saw her looking pretty beat up doing the burpees there. So she got a 14th. They must have put in her time wrong.

They had her at a first and now she's down to a 14th. She's in ninth. Gabby Magawa has been in first basically since the second event. It's Magawa, Emma Carey, Daniel Brandon, Rebecca Vitteson must be happy.

Ariel Lowen has a 21st to 1st and a 2nd now. Wow. What? No, I'm looking at Ariel Lowen. I didn't think she did that great on that last event, but she did a 2nd. She didn't do great

on the 8 for time. She didn't get in the reps one because she came out real hot and then blew up. So if you scroll over, you'll see how she did on the... Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, okay. Oh, God, I hate the way this is scored. I really hate the way this is scored.

Yeah, it's really, really bad. Why do you hate it? Do you hate it for the same reason? Either put them together, either put them together, or make them each 100 points. I mean, I prefer you make them each 100 points. Is there a discrepancy like that anywhere else, like Ariel? I don't know.

Yeah, they're all over the place. Ariel Loewen has a – Okay, so Gabriella McGowan got a seventh on that last piece. And Emma Carey, look, Emma, someone said there was going to be a Jason Kalipa moment, like on the row event. Was that you, John? No, it was Hillary. Oh, well, you're right. Look at Emma Carey did it, a first and a first.

Yep. Pretty remarkable, man. There are a handful of people who did decent on the first and then crapped out on the full version. B. Sagapi did the opposite. How important is the first place finish? Well, I'll tell you.

Look down at 10th place, and you have Juliana Hannaford. She has a 1st, a 13th, a 37th, and a 35th. I mean, that's about as bad as you can get, and she's still in 10th place. And you know what's crazy? It's so cliche, but look, the strong girl has no engine. Yeah, cliche. That's what happens when you're really strong. Are we surprised to see Vittasen and Abigail Domet up here?

Fusile, Sidney Wells? I want to say I had them pegged both in the top 10 But this high I didn't have Viticen and Domet this high I thought Bruce Lee could But Viticen is having The competition of her life Viticen and Abigail Domet

Did not have an event handed to them And I think it's safe to say that Danny Spiegel Had an event handed to her And they are uh right uh they are in uh fourth and six with the veteran danny spiegel who has more important things to do than crossfit and i'm not saying that tongue-in-cheek i mean those are i think her words uh sitting in 13th uh fisa goffi uh 14th interesting two kind of polar uh opposite uh athletes in 13th and 14th with Danny and Fi. Cruising down,

Emily Rolfe looks like she's climbed a little bit. I think she was in 21st. The rest of the pack is settling in nicely. I don't see anyone at the bottom. That's a surprise. The 17-year-old out of Oakland. People thought Walton would be higher. Oh, no.

No one with a brain did. Listen, hold on. She's hot, and that's it. Come on. She's likely to be top three in the swim. And that would propel them both really high. The swim, for instance, Gabby McGowan's in first place. Danielle Brand and Emma Carey, it's going to be them two,

one and two, very close after the swim. And Gabby McGowan won't be close to them. Then in – where were we? The Icelandic 17-year-old who took third at the CrossFit Games last year in the teen division, sitting in 25th place. I would say her name, Burgros, Burger, the Burger, the Doter. The Doter. burger burger the burger the doter the doter uh ella uh ella miller uh alia alia miller she's one that ate a pizza um apparently that was on christmas and not yesterday and then down at the

bottom uh matilda garns has pulled out but we'll be competing team, right? That's the question, right? Let me see what the newest information from Barbell Spin is. I don't see anything new. But I think that was her hope that she's sick now uh uh with a triple case of covid but she's hoping she'll be better so that she can do team i don't know if she really has covid i made that up uh she pulled out no actually now it says she's pulled out because she's injured i don't know we'll see but but but we did i think get that same information

that she was hoping uh that she would still be able to do team pouring rain out there uh i saw um uh i saw a couple coaches trip uh specifically um we saw one coach uh drop and uh take the national anthem knee you mean uh judge not judge what did i say you said coach coach sorry coach Sorry. Coach. Ref. Coach. Judge. Judge. Thank you. John Young.

John doesn't hit the sauce. John doesn't even. What does that mean? Is there a. Straight from the Caleb camp. You're drinking alcohol, dude. Come on. I don't drink alcohol.

What's in that cup? I know that. Oval tea. I know that. Oh, shit. I forgot my coffee. That's what he said. Damn it. It's in that cup? I know that... Oval tea. Oh, shit. I forgot my coffee. That's what he said. It's oval tea.

You're projecting your steroid use when you say stuff. Okay, action. Let's see this. See ya. Oh, poor guy. That's a torn ACL Yeah it is All this safety for the athletes and none for the people That are working for free Exactly what I was thinking what's crazy

He almost took out the athlete Dude if he would have tore his ACL And was like legitimately out And like you know dying That That would have been the worst thing that happened since they lost someone in the ocean i do want to say this that is extremely agile and quick thinking like he didn't think about himself at all he quickly just spun around and started counting one two that's great yeah

hey they don't take this stuff lightly man i. I did see another ref trip, judge trip over that same box. He tried to jump over it and got clipped. It was extremely wet out there. It did not seem to bother the athletes. I'm going to actually take a stab at this and say that probably most athletes enjoyed the rain. It is Miami. It's not Chicago rain. A couple things that we didn't enjoyed the rain. It is Miami. It's not Chicago rain. A couple things that we didn't tell you before,

I don't think we did, or we didn't know for sure, but the dumbbell weights had been lowered, not only for the women, but also for the men. That was pretty bad. I think that made a huge difference. I thought that was pretty bad. And we talked about the score that changed Androsic's score was in wrong

Uh Corona's out With a re-injured pectare Wicked Didn't get that stuff taken care of Or he rushed it Which makes stuff that Ricky's doing even more impressive right Dude Ricky's

Ricky's gonna win win, man. That's what you think. It's a swim tomorrow. Caleb, can we see the boys' leaderboard? James Sprague was talking to his judge quite a bit at the box jump. I've sent James a link. Hopefully, he will

come on and say hi. Who was talking to their judge more? James on the box or Danny at the bullet bar? I don't know, but I heard also Danielle Brandon was having some words with her judge, too. Danny on the wall, boss. Both of them.

We shall see. Go ahead, Caleb. It hasn't populated yet. Oh, the boys. Okay. I thought Cole was supposed to win. What happened? He told thought Gold was supposed to win. What happened? I know. He blew up, man. He told us he was going to. Still good.

Do you feel pretty confident that the fight that Danielle was having with her judge was around the depth? Of her wallows? And when you say Danielle, you mean Brandon, not Spiegel. No, no, sorry. Danny Spiegel. Definitely. 100%. 100%. Yeah. yeah, interesting. There's not many things I'm more certain on. Is it worth talking about the kipping and the pull-ups? I mean, there was just tons of kipping everywhere.

Colton had a fantastic gymnastics skip going. I would say it's not as bad as it could have been. I would say across the board, many more people were taking it upon themselves to make their pull-ups look better than some people were getting away with that said i put up that video of the chick that was one of the worst and it's not her fault it's the competition's fault for enforcing a standard where you can get away with murder i think ricky has to right here too sorry you're talking about that one where her chin's right here?

I mean, one, there's that. But that's kind of standard amongst pull-ups in CrossFit anyway, which is just break the horizontal plane, which I believe she was doing, but barely. But it's the fact that all you had to do was keep the toes in front of the bar. She got a mean shoulder kick. Yeah. That's a straight-up kipping pull-up. Yeah. Straight-up kipping pull-up yeah straight up kipping pull-up i will say though it did feel like it felt like it was fair ironically i didn't feel like anybody was

getting away with anything there wasn't does that make sense no but i'm saying everybody was doing it a little bit. That's right. It was. Well, no, no. But here's the thing. I don't think everyone was doing it, but I think what I'm hearing John say is they were consistent in not calling that.

But what we really need to know is we need to know about the brief. We need to talk to someone who is in that athlete briefing. Yeah. That's a better way to word it. I didn't feel like anybody got screwed where there had been no reps and having to hold this strict standard. Yeah. It ended up being kind of a non-issue. Yeah, that's a better way to word it. I didn't feel like anybody got screwed where there had been no reps and having to hold this strict standard. Yeah. It ended up being kind of a non-issue.

Yeah, exactly. We never even heard about it. Well, easy for you to say, but what about Fikowski? Fikowski could have used a little kip. He could have used 35 kipping chest of ours. He could have used, he would have been screwed on that too, man. All right. So we're cool with it. he could have used. He would have been screwed on that too, man. I think we got to get Chase back in here.

Overall, we're cool with it. I want to bring up that conversation John and I had earlier where he said he was going to go bigger sets than 8.75 the whole time when everyone else is doing sets at 2 and 4. Do you think the road just had this enormous effect? It's 60

pull-ups, dude. I feel like I can do 60 pull-ups in my career. It's enormous effect it's 60 pull-ups dude i feel like i can do 60 it's not 20 it's 60 for time when you do 60 if you can hang on to sets at eight that's great yeah yeah dr seuss over here you hate that's great i mean maybe the other workouts had a had a bearing on it i just i don just – I don't know. That's the bad part about it, Jack Mosley, that Vekowski, the PFA, programmed it or altered it. But didn't someone say, John, wasn't it you that said they changed it? It wasn't PFA, it was Wadapalooza.

It was Caleb. Caleb said it was not the PFA that changed the workouts. It was Wadapalooza. Yes. Yes. Listen, John, you're just supposed to say we have sources. You don't out Caleb. You just say we have sources. It was my source, but I

wouldn't out my source. Right, right, right. We have sources that say that it wasn't the PFAA, but it was actually Wadapalooza making the choice. Good on them. Halpin Fikowski was slowest in the 90 Chester Bar pull-up side timed as well. He's slow moving that big body. He did make up time, though.

He did make up time. 90 Chester Bar. He's talking about the games back in 2022. Where they did sets of 15. The last of it. The one that Daryl's won. Right. I was thinking Triple D Chipper.

That's 100 pull-ups. Just straight. The second you see the men's leaderboard up, will you pull that up? I'm also going to see if I can get Brian's spin in here to tell us how things are going on at the ground level. It was extremely wet, and I'm curious if that's going to affect tomorrow. Have we had any confirmation that workouts are going to be changed tomorrow?

And would they go in the water if it's raining? Or would there be lightning concerns? There would be losing athletes in the splashing water of rain concerns I'm sure You know Splashes when the rain hits I swear to god it's a real thing I was on swim team dude They cancel stuff because of that

And that's a swimming pool Really? Yeah if it's heavy rain they cancel it No matter whether or not there's thunder Because they can't see the bar Brian Spinn from the Barbell spin uh last year he got that amazing uh or maybe it was two years ago the amazing snatch from guillermo harrows this year uh he got an amazing picture of himself this guy right here this is jack rosema you know who he kind of looks like

is the guy um who is in every second counts Dutch. Dutch Lowry. Dutch Lowry. I was going to say Tom Hardy. I could see that too. There's Julia Hannaford also from at the barbell spin. She was in first place for a second. Daniel Brandon.

I ever wondered the apparel some of these people choose to wear hinders or improves their performance. Those soccer jerseys. It seems ridiculous to me to wear a soccer jersey when you're doing stuff. Yeah. It's not cool, Chandler

Smith. It's uncomfortable and heavy. Craig Ritchie. Well, he doesn. Chandler Smith. It's uncomfortable and heavy. Correct. Richie. Well, he doesn't really work out. Okay. Okay. Hey,

um, uh, Daniel Brandon's not really getting a lot of, uh, camera time from the, from the crew, huh? No,

not really. I heard her name get called a ton. And what's funny is I, she's going to be second or third after the swim. I mean, she's third place right now overall. She's second, I'd say. How close is the scoring? Can we look to see how close the totals are? It's Gabby, then Emma, then Danielle.

Thank you. Yep, thank you. 223. Oh, wait wait they're changing stuff 223 oh messed up well that's interesting uh earlier when we started the show we had the uh first half of deja vu the first 50 points mapped out, and now it appears that on the... What's this leaderboard called? Competition Corner. Competition Corner leaderboard. They have removed

the first half of the Deja Vu points. I don't think Daniel... Did Daniel Brennan get second place? I thought it was. Here's what's weird. Those are still all the points from the day though, aren't they? No, one of the scores in Deja Vu is not put in.

90. The one with the max reps. No, it's not. Hey, when we looked at it last time, Emma was in second, right? And Danielle was in third. And now Danielle with Deja Vu taken out the first half of it, Danielle's in second. We know Domet was higher.

Right? Domet was She wasn't in tenth. She was way up there. Alright, let's The ones that I was way off about were Fusile and Elena Cartana Sanjahuah. I thought they'd do better than they did.

I thought Bea would do better, which I mean she wasn't Yeah, I thought they'd do better than they did i thought b would do better which i mean she wasn't yeah i thought b would do better than she did it i was really trying to remember who i thought would do well so that i could call myself out when they inevitably didn't hey but i think fusli is climbing the ranks i still think she's climbing i think she was out of the top 10 yeah it's cool she's doing great oh never mind sorry uh john george says rebecca was seventh i wonder if he means uh before the event or before they started messing with the deja vu score hey the worst thing about the dumbbell by the way with the rain other than the weight change was that they had to do singles yeah i understand that one more than just about anything else with the water but still like

what do you mean they had to do singles on the ground every single time oh because i mean everyone maybe you think they're doing it on purpose but with that lighter dumbbell none of them were doing that on on accident they were forced to put it down every time and they were all like muscle snatching it too um like straight hinge the whole entire time but it does it takes away if your ability just because if somebody could cycle the whole thing unbroken they would make a whole lot of time up on those snatches and nobody got to show that off although i think hatfield is grateful for that because cornway i think would have gotten him had he not done that or had they

not had to do that so you can see the men's scores going in one at a time that's what she said that is what she said wouldn't it be like three at a time though i can just see i went over to the men's leaderboard and it's it's almost full all right uh 300 points down 200 points to go what two workouts do we have left tomorrow the swim and the rope climb toe-to-bar workout that taylor did okay and the uh the swim is with double unders? Swim is with double unders. Beated. Yep.

150 beaded double unders. And then there's a 50-caliber bike in the beginning. Swim. Double unders. Swim. And then 500 meters run. And they're doing it on that ratchet stage in the middle of the ocean. You don't like that? I't know we'll see isn't ratchet like a derogatory term yeah

janky you like janky better than ratchet no i thought it was kind of cool but we'll see we'll see i think it's interesting you know what i think they did it for is to provide more seats over on the bayfront which would be cool that's good i like that because usually you can't find spots out there with the dam uh and then and then tell me about what was the rope climb workout again it was what is it it's three round or you do a lunge uh one front rack one overhead oh right and then three three rounds. Three rope climbs. I think the women have two rope climbs. The first one has to start as seated.

And then 18 toes to bar and 90 foot handstand walk. And then it ends on the lunge on the other side, the overhead front ride. Hey, that's another great one for Colton. It's probably about as good for him as this last one was hey he's great walking on his he's amazing walking on his hands and he's amazing at a handstand walk that started the legless though like people are going to get him on the road climbs um and like he like yeah i agree with hillary i don't think it'll be good for him but i don't think it'll be bad for him either he'll be okay okay hey he's as fast as anyone on on three of the four he just was really is the slowest on the

fourth right on the rope climb but he's as fast as anyone right i think unfortunately for him his height will make a difference yeah so while he's good at it he's got to take extra steps, which is fine. But the handstand walk, he's not going to be going faster than a couple of guys. The rope climb he is not as good at in general. Toes to bar he's great at.

So I'd say overall, he'll do fine. You know, Winston, why are you even planning they're going to change the workout? Oh, they are going to have to change the workout, aren't they, because of the rope climb? Well, we'll see. No, it's sunny and just partly cloudy. Gabriella Magawa, 270 points, six points behind her Emma Carey. Boy, we have a race.

Daniel Brandon, 259. Anyone can win it. The top three are in the mix. Rebecca Vitteson, 237. Ariel Lowen, 220. I top three are in the mix. Rebecca Vitteson, 237. Ariel Lohan, 220. I can't. That's remarkable. Vitteson must be ecstatic.

Abigail Domet in sixth. Fuselier in seventh. Fuselier. Yeah, man. Few. I swear to God. Fuselier. Sidney Wells in 190.

About 100 points out of first Jessica Androzik and then it really just starts Dropping off It looks like Spiegel is toast But it looks like tomorrow we will have A A

Showdown tomorrow Tomorrow is going to be a battle with the girls We will be doing a pre-show Two pre-shows You do not want to miss the pre-show With Will and JR and Taylor They were killing it today Until they had some technical problems

Over on the boys side If Spiegel does as well In the snatches she did in the other three events She's in 33rd or 34th place. What about Guy? I haven't checked that out yet. You can't check. The scores aren't updated yet.

All of Guy's scores are in, though. Men's isn't totally updated. I think they're up to halfway. Same thing there. About. Yeah. Nothing for Roman. Damn, I want them to hurry up and finish these.

540. It's actually exactly the same because they both have 50-51 points through those three events. And then, actually, he's higher because he got 100 on the snatch. He got 94. Which is when Chase and Bill start freaking out on you with the programming about a lifting event in a five-scored workout competition.

It gives them a lot of credit on that stuff. Hey, either way, we know the men's competition is going to be very close because Brent Fikowski is probably going to drop out of first, correct? Not the swim, necessarily. No, I mean after today. I mean after today. Yeah, yeah. So the men's competition is going to be really close.

I didn't see where Jack Rosema did. We know Velner probably did good. Ricky did good. Dude, I think Velner's going to be in first place because Ricky faded on the second one. And, like, I think Ricky might have won the first one, but he faded hard on the second one, and Velner was, like, third or fourth in the first one and third or hard on the second one and belner was like third or fourth in the first

one and third or fourth in the second one sprague beat brent fukowski because he went out hard and he just blew up yeah in the eight minute uh one uh sprague was in. He's walking around, cruising around. Is Sam Quant the weird dude in all of CrossFit? No, he's Canadian. I don't think he's weird. He's not Canadian. He's not Canadian. Yeah, he's Canadian. Oh, I thought you were just...

Sorry, I was confused with Samuel Cornway. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Quant just came into the game young. He's still coming into his own. He's just very quiet. He's very weird. He's blonde-haired Superman. What's weird about him?

He either does incredibly well and dominates or doesn't do anything well. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, there's a lot of people. There's a couple people like that. He's like Guy, but fit. Oh, don't insult him like that. Tyler Watkins.

How's it going, gentlemen? I heard rumors that the Heat 1 app has been overwhelmed and crashed. Is that true? It got close once, but it just got stuttery. Just rumors. Just rumors. Hey, congratulations. I hear it's killing it and stoked for you buddy

how's it been so far from your perspective great great people are pumped on it we had some graphics on the live stream i was happy with that i didn't i have it that was cool it was yeah it looked it was awesome good hey where are you you're bringing in like this like effect like you're at the airport like you're in the air tower control. I'm in that stage in the back. Taylor, you know where I'm at? I do, yeah. This is where they demo.

They've demoed in the past. So, yeah, the media pits a little bit ways from here. So there was some light over here, so I came over here. Vittorio, Seve doesn't know. Well, that's correct. Hey, is that thunder I hear? Did you see any thunder or lightning today? No.

It was basically just rain and drizzle the whole time. I think they would have stopped had there been any thunder. But, yeah, it was... I mean, the rain got heavy. What's the weather report tomorrow? Any chance, any talk about the swim event or the rope event being changed? From what I heard, the weather's supposed to be much better tomorrow. Pretty sunny. I have not heard any talks of change for tomorrow. And is the place cleared out right now? don't see anyone besides you is pretty much everyone

left the venue well i'm sort of back in the back area that's a fun area so up here the warm-up area up here is the warm-up area they yeah there's a bunch of bars and stuff up there um so that's no none of the athletes would be up there right now anyway they're all gone home i just got done seeing Pepper and Popper. Anything about Matilda Garns? Is she out? Oh, sorry. Yeah.

I've been told Matilda's out, that she hopes to compete on the team, but she's out for individual. Okay, and so it's not an injury. It is a sickness. That's what Hiller was hearing. I'm not sure uh as to the reason and and uh Caron Caron did you see him was his serious did you see medics on him peck I heard it's a peck issue I'm not certain about how serious it was but I mean serious enough

to pull out I'm not surprised with the amount of the pushing that was done um I mean like we've not seen dips like that in a long time, right? And the last time we did, there was a bunch of peg pops, so. They were on rings, though, too, right? Sure. Johnny Sins. Who is that Johnny Sins? Is it a porn guy?

He's the most interesting man in the world. He is consistently among the most popular male talent pornography searches. Jesus Christ. That's a litmus test if you know if something's wrong with you, if you can name even one porn actor or actress. Hunter Robbins Gibbons, fresh CEO shirt at the Vindicate booth today. Can't wait to rock it this weekend. I can't wait to see you in it.

Sabir and Kelly, lots of CEO shirts. They've been rocking. That's pretty cool. I saw that. Daniel Jennings, he one-app is great. But. I accidentally leaving a group and then some of that. Anyway, it's great.

Daniel says it's great. Thanks, Daniel. Yeah, English is, Daniel writes in ESL. English is his second language. That's fine. Howp's comments. Funny. Johnny Sins has a few inches on Tyler.

He's really tall. I don't know. That's never been proven. Shit. Seve, don't act like you don't know who Mia Khalifa is. All right, fuck. That's not your bias, you chick. He was a shortstop for the Cubs. And he's with her now, Mia Khalifa is. All right, fuck. Oh, that's Javier Baez's chick. He was a shortstop for the Cubs.

And he's with her now, Mia Khalifa? I think he was trying to get with her because she's a porn star too, and I know. All right. I do not want to hang around and wait for the men's leaderboard to finalize. Yeah, we're going through that currently. Adam's in the back end There's something wrong in the middle

But he can't quite figure out what it is Can you tell us what happened with the women They erased the women's deja vu And then re-entered them do you know what happened there I have no idea Hey the event looks really good And the Lone Ranger and Tonto Are actually doing a fucking fantastic job

Does everything seem to be like it's going smooth on your end? Yeah, so far. They're using a different broadcast company. I don't think they're using Madison Road. I can tell. Yeah. In a good or a bad way? Just in a way.

Madison Road. Neither. Probably better. Yeah. Probably better. Slightly, probably better slightly better their team Oh Yeah, they did have some serious audio issues for a couple of the women's of events They had the music and the commentators too loud. But other than that, it was it was pretty damn good I think I was I think I was in the broadcasting booth at that moment and they were all screaming at each other like somebody turned Their mics off.

What are we doing here? Bro. My shit was plain English. Learn to read for fuck's sake. Fair enough. Fair enough. Daniel. Fair enough.

Uh, life athletics. Thanks dude. I gotta have you back on the show. Gotta have you back on the show Gotta have you back on the show The audio stream was messed up for a while Alright Hey people stopped donating once you became members or what?

Yeah I don't know But it's all good I did talk to Rosa And tried to get a feel on Roman's girlfriend? Roman's lady Handler Handler and tried to get a feel on... Roman's girlfriend? Roman's lady.

Handler. Handler, yeah. Handler. She, I was like, hey, not that Roman's not doing well, it's just he seems uncharacteristically off. And she was like, it's just a weird day. They just said it's just a weird day. So I don't know what that alludes to.

I know he was one of the last ones off the rower and I don't know if that's ever happened in an event. You should probably do cross but he's lonely. It's going to be his worst event that

I ever remember, I think. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Sur. Yeah. Yeah. Surcox. All of these shows, ladies and gentlemen, are brought to you by

capeptides.com. There's two documentaries coming out after, little shorties that you're going to love. It's going to have the most intimate look at Colton Mertens' date and of Jason Hopper, Don Pepper, and Ricky Mack. Those boys are fired up. Those, yeah? Yeah, those boys are fired up.

They're excited to be on a team with Ricky. I like the balance of it. Well, Ricky is currently in first place. I don't see it changing. The dudes are up. Oh, the dudes currently in first place. I don't see it changing. The dudes are up. Oh, the dudes are up. Okay. There's one thing I want to show you really quick before we go to the dudes.

All right. How do I get the volume? Top right. Top right button. Ah, that. All right. All right. Here we go.

I'm crying after that. Soft ass bitches. Soft ass bitches Plus he was rolling around on the ground crying after that Soft ass bitches It's gonna be special people It's gonna be special It's gonna be special Yeah You sponsor him Stefan you should

Colton is what do you mean sponsor no You mean like share my money with him No give him a shirt Oh yeah yeah yeah I got him a shirt I got him a three or four shirts The Rios's are working hard I've seen them several times Yeah Rios is fucking killing it Rios and Bella are killing it

Colton's been crazy cooperative CA P peptides has ponied up all the cash to send the filmmakers out there uh help them out with the cameras the hotel everything it's all just um i have so much exciting stuff for you yeah and uh tomorrow or during the team competition hopper said he is going to uh narrate the um the a lot of it of the team competition so it's going to narrate a lot of it, of the team competition. So it's going to be great in real time. Okay, let's go ahead and pull up the men's leaderboard. Do you guys need me for that? No, you got to go?

Yeah, I want to go. Get out of here. Go away. All right. Love you guys. Have a good one. Andrew Hiller's in charge. Thank you, Tyler.

Thanks for coming on and filling my shoes. Thanks, man. You da man. Tyler, you got to stay, though. You can go if you need to go. I'll give you a couple minutes. Oh, no. Thank you for gracing us with your presence, Tyler.

You're welcome. You know what I want to say, though? Jack Farlow. How the hell is Jack Farlow? It's Jack freaking Farlow. That's what we got to talk about. Why is he there? Other than that snatch.

You can't just say the snatch. I know you can't. Not at this point you can't. No, he killed this workout. Bro, he's consistent on the back-to-back. Yeah. You got ninth and fourth. I'll tell you why.

This is the difference between the Medeiros and Ellie Turner couple. This is the Jack Farlow and Emma Lawson power couple. Because Emma's elevating jack in the same way where we believe that ellie is degrading justin yeah i'm with it i agree i don't go on my show anymore and say that no i mean the proof is in the pudding. Hey, Jack's doing impressive stuff. 14 on yeah.

I mean, he's a heavy dude. I don't think he's going to do good. I don't think he's going to do good tomorrow. I think he still stays in the top 10. Do we have to circle back on the swim or no? Do we know how he swims? No, we don't. He didn't help us at all.

Yeah, no, we don't. We don't. I just assume he's not good. I don't know about that. He might surprise you because he's decently long. Long people are good swimmers. Is Hopper a bad swimmer? He's not a good swimmer.

All right. Well, we know Ricky's good. We know Pat's bad. So Jack might just keep his way up there. We know Fikowski's going to be good. Fikowski could probably swing himself into the top three if he swims. Yeah, yeah, Kwon's fine. Fikowski might actually be second, which is pretty nuts.

Hey, look where Kwon is. Fourth, bro. No, look where Quant is. Fourth, bro. No, he's killing it. He's killing it. Jack Rose will drop quite a bit on that event. Is that just something that we were looking to have happen to him at some point or another? I think he'll continue to drop.

Yeah? Yeah. I don't know. Kiefer's pretty hype on him. Why? What has Kiefer been saying about jack anything keifer keifer told me he was like he's gonna do really well his first two events i think he did he said he's gonna be good but what about the next ones yeah he said he did not know did not know his

attitude at swimming so he's like i'm not gonna speak on that that means he's bad because if he was good he would have heard about it have you ever noticed any sort of a press conference when they're talking about people and the public eye where they know the information's gonna get around if they don't just straight up say they're good at it it means they're bad at it they're bad yeah yeah no no he he was he was like i really don't know um he hadn't he hadn't seen him swim. Look at, what do we think about Sam? I think he's kind of where he's supposed to be. I think he'll be fine in the swim, and I think he'll do good in the last workout,

and that'll make him around sixth place. And that's where most of us have weight. How much weight you hold in the competition that is Wadapalooza, because if you hold a lot of weight, he's just kind just going to be fifth to tenth place finisher for the rest of his life. He's going to be like Panchik, but a little worse.

Are you talking about what this means for the games with Sam? Cornwall always finishes. He's always right where he's at, give or take. Yeah. He's great as hell, but I think some people, maybe even Sevan, were expecting him to be better Dude I've been hyping on him for years

And I've been waiting on it And it's not Like Savon said Brought up a point with like Sprague Where do you think this is what he is Like we all said no I think this is I think one way is at his peak

And then he's just managing his peak. He's just sustaining. All right. My team's leaving. I got to go, guys. I'm sorry. Get out of here. Thanks.

We're just going to roll around the leaderboard. Next with Nick Matthew. Nick Matthew, the further away he moves from a heavy barbell or a heavy anything, the worse he gets, right? The further he moves down the leaderboard. Right. So he's going into the water. He's going upside down.

He's going to keep going down the board. How about Spencer Panchick? I think the opposite is true for him. The further away he gets from a barbell, the higher he goes. He's not bad at a barbell, man. Spencer's, like all the Panchicks, not really that bad at anything, but he's not great at anything.

I kind of think he's just going to end up where he's at. The next one, the final is just CrossFit CrossFit and then the second to last events it's just stuff that I can see him and his brothers being decent at and that's kind of where I always go with any of the panchics but what's decent?

10th? in this field 10th plus which will get him into the top 10 so I just think I think him and Nick knew this that's what I'm saying I think they flipped Field, 10th plus, which will get him into the top 10. So I just think he'll move up. I think him and Nick knew this. That's what I'm saying. I think they flipped.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I just think, like, I don't think he jumps Rosema, even though Rosema's going to go down. I think, like, those guys will still be ahead of him. Far level we think will drop, but not that far. Like, all of Sprague is going to maybe win the event, so he's going to go up. Do you think they're going to go with Bukowski overall for the event tomorrow?

No, I think it will be them two. I pick Bukowski out of those two, but I think they'll be pretty close to each other. All right, and then? Roman should go up. But he's being a giant baby right now. Yeah, he is. He is. There's something wrong.

Completely different of him. He's never done that before. I would have never said that before watching him get off the rower last no i'm with i don't really know what to think about it um do we have to talk about g or is he's a good swimmer i think he'll do good at that event i could see i could see a top 10 i couldn't but not by much outside of it. Maybe 15th as well. He's a good swimmer. The final's not that long. What did Taylor do the final in?

Wasn't it six and a half or so? No, he was 914. Oh, then I'm way off. That means Guy's kind of screwed. Yeah. Very much like Nick Matthew in a heavy barbell. The further away you get from a two-minute time domain, the worse he gets as well.

When he's against actual good people, I agree. When he's like people of the same fitness, just a little bit better, he's very skilled. Do you think that Roman will be injured? Jack Mosley says Roman's going to be injured. Do you think that's true or no? Nothing would surprise me. He's never, like you said, you've never

seen him this way. I haven't either. I don't know what's happening. But you look at where Vellner's at, you can't tell me Roman's not with Vellner and Ricky fitness-wise. He always has been there and they're at the top and he's not. So I don't know what to make of it.

Is it just me or does the games feel like it wasn't that long ago, and he was unable to compete at the games, and it's very possible that he's just not trained? Six months. How bad was that foot injury? Did he ever really disclose that? What have they done that his foot would affect him? Anything?

I don't know, walking. You can't walk with a broken foot. You ever broke your foot before? He just won Dubai. Okay, then. Point disproven. There you go. All right, let's go to the bottom 20.

Is that cool, Caleb? Is there anyone worth noting down here in the bottom 20, or is it just Luke Parker? Wild. Yeah, he's not doing great. Anyone of note to you? Or should we just kind of check in at the events and shut it down? I'm looking at it.

I thought Bigno would be higher, but maybe he's just past his prime. Mayhem is not doing well. No, but I trash man him all the time, so I'm not going to continue to trash them. I think it's my turn to trash mayhem a little bit. Go ahead. As Rich Froning loses his fitness due to bike races, so does the mayhem empire loses their power as a fitness brand.

Empire. Yeah. Hatfield is a mayhem guy. What was that? Hatfield's a mayhem guy. What was that? Hatfield is a mayhem guy. He's not really, but he does their programming. That's the thing that I'm really starting to struggle with with all of these camps is

Colton Mertens is a proven athlete. Dude, they signed him. Are you though? They signed him today. And now he's a mayhem athlete? You're out of your mind. Yeah. When did Hatfield join mayhem he on we interviewed him on spin he just he just said that he's done mayhem programming

no like two weeks ago he's not a mayhem guy no no no he's never he's been there one time for a weekend and like he just does their programming at his gym in West Virginia. Who would you add as an actual mayhem athlete? Cornway?

Yeah, Cornway. I don't know. An actual mayhem guy? I don't know if they would have named him. Luke Parker? Luke Parker, yeah, born and bred. The second he left The Bachelorette, he goes on over to Mayhem. Any women?

Hayley Adams, if she ever works out again. Bayley Rayle. There's team athletes that are there that are at Raza, but not individual off the top of my head. And then before – I do want to look at the workouts, but I'm thinking of camps right now. Is there a camp out there that's really just excelling more than any individual that is on their own with a coach?

Yeah, you got HWPO. I mean, underdogs has done very well. Alex Kazan, Ricky Garrard. Emma Carey, but also she's one of those people that's only been there for a handful of months. Yeah. Kyra Milligan, Alex Kazan. They're all improving.

Right, they are improving as well. I think if Kazan were here, she would have kind of wiped the floor. Dude, I think she'd be pretty good. I can't say wipe the floor because the top of the field is doing pretty well. And Viticent's one of those. But I think she wins that pull-up workout, both of them. Are we doing a pre-show tomorrow? I don't know.

Do you know there's a pre-show? I don't know. We don't even need to talk about the workouts. I think they're just doing the show with shut up and scribble in the morning. Can we pull them up and look at them real quick? Yep. You want to play with us? You want to come in here? Sure. I got to head out in like 10 minutes.

I have a class. We'll be done before that, I think. Okay. Thanks, Rambler. Rambler, is that you in that space helmet? Rambler, are that you in that space helmet? Rambler, are you at Wadapalooza? Everyone wanted to know. So the next event is the bike swim, beat a double under swim assault run. And the thing that's at the top of my mind when it comes to the Echo bike was either you or Taylor saying that they think Roman's going to smash the Echo bike in a minute and 40 seconds.

And I think they would be ridiculously dumb. Do you agree that it would be dumb? I agree. Yeah, 100%. He said he thinks Roman's going to do that. I'm like, do you not think that's going to smoke your legs for the swim, though? I just don't think it's a good – Have you ever done anything tough and then jumped into the water?

And when I mean tough, I mean to the point where you're breathing. Like 30 burpees. Yeah, 30 burpees works, right, Caleb? No, it's horrible. I can imagine. I can imagine. I'm not a great swimmer, but it's not the time right now. I don't need to be a good swimmer.

This is the type of thing that's cool to have Chase around with and chat about because I swam for a good portion of my life. It wasn't anything long, but it was always just swimming, which is entirely different than swimming with something else. I'd be shocked to see anyone beat anyone else, not especially Roman, but even Roman

when then going directly into the swim. Even for Kowski, if anybody was going to pin the bike, you would think it'd be him because he'd handle into the swim. Yeah, I mean, even for Kowski. I mean, if anybody was going to pin the bike, you would think it would be him because he'd handle it the best. Right? Is he finishing in the 215 to 225 range? Sprig, yeah. Beat a double under?

Have you done those? And why didn't they just use a drag rope years past? I don't know. They used – it was a drag rope last year right i know that they've used out rope in the past and i think it was the drag rope last year yeah yeah i'm pretty sure it was a drag rope last year i think i don't think this will play that big of a part i think it's there just to interrupt the swim. If somebody kicks their toe with a beaded rope, they're going to fuck it up.

So it's just there to cause pain? Absolutely. Well, if we're thinking about that compared to a Zeus rope, those things are giant weapons. It's super thick to the point where you hit your toe you're dead yeah do we have word on how long the swim is or no i've heard one when it's upwards of four minutes no so i somebody i think uh chase told me 300 meters ish which is about four minutes yeah that's they never really know and when they that get a significant amount of time though,

300 meters. No, I'm saying like eight minutes total of swimming. I think like you can make a lot of time on that. Would you say this is a swimming event? Yeah, I would. Would you say that the other things are irrelevant? No.

Let's say you've got someone who's good at swimming, someone who's not so great at swimming, but they're equal on the other three components. The best swimmer is going to win. The best swimmer will win. How much better would that person have to be on the bike, the double unders, and the run

to make a difference over the swim? They'd have to be average at the swim if they're bad at the swim it does not matter i think anybody does these double unders unbroken i wouldn't i wouldn't either i think they would have a similar effect to the echo bike right i think if you do them on broken i mean i could see your chase in a break and why why what is what is he calling me for he says he says five minutes per 300 meter five to six so that means five minutes for the fastest guy

i think spring's coming on just be prepared oh spring's coming on okay all right we're waiting for spray guys we're holding down the fort for a little longer. Caleb, you're going to be out though, right? Yeah, I'm going to have to leave. Ladies and gentlemen, we may be expecting James Sprig. Well, we can ask him because he's a good swimmer. Well, I'm trying to think of avatars out there, like a Fikowski versus a Mertens.

We would say they've had different capabilities at the swim. If they just don't swim, then Mertens is done. Let's use Fikowski and Roman. Mertens isn't making up time on the bike or the run or the double. What you're saying all of a sudden, he's got the same capabilities

as Roman. Right. It doesn't make a difference. So why do they even have these things in here? Yeah, just to call it CrossFit. Exactly. It's weird. I've never understood why they've got to bring out a bike and a runner

just for the sake of having it. They always do. I gave you a drop, James. What's up, James? A little rough. You're a little rough? I'm a little rough, but I'm good. I'm happy.

What are you rough for? What do you mean, who am I rough for? No, no, no. Why? Not who. I don't know. I'm wet and lost after that workout. Did the water affect you at all while you were out there or no?

Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah. It broke my rower, so my rower didn't start for 12 seconds on round two and three. And I was like, wow. So I was a little frustrated about that. But I did actually go to the brief. Oh, we lost you. Dang it.

That's my fault. Did you say you didn't go to the brief? We lost you for a second. Yeah, yeah. I didn't go to the brief because I'm a bad boy. Did you miss out on anything important there? Like what they did with the rower? Oh, no. Did I lose on let me turn my wi-fi off boy my wi-fi's on you got everyone in miami using it it's the aliens

in general the ones that are hanging out over at Bayfront Park or whatever. Can you all hear me? Yeah, we got you now. Okay, cool. Sorry, I turned my Wi-Fi off. It should be better. How are you guys doing? Great. What do you think you missed in the briefing?

Well, I didn't miss anything. I didn't go to the briefing. So, yeah, what's the significance there? And you can't appeal a score if you don't go to the briefing. Oh. Yeah, sorry sorry i didn't explain crash hey you know what i think a lot of guys rowers were screwed up from that rain so they didn't put the the plastic on them and i think it was it was doing something because i would be

it would go 137 147 157 different pulls and i'm like i'm not pulling a 157 right now and i'm so it's just it was glitch very glitch i thought the contingency for those rowers was that they were just going to start counting pulls that's not what yeah literally it might have been better like it was really weird because one round i was off before fukowski and the next round was off 25 seconds after him and the next round he was off two minutes after me so it was like he was dead last yeah yeah i'm like we're pretty equal rowers was your back hitting the wall against the at the yes my back was hitting the wall i was and i told him to move it and he moved it a little bit second round it hit a little less but i was still like

doing it i was like it is what it is it made the forearms more so the pull-ups hurt a little more um so i just tried to really keep my arms extended on the row as much i could a little more. So I just tried to really keep my arms extended on the rail as much as I could. Lukowski was doing this weird, like, four really hard stroke thing, and then he would wait for, like, three seconds before he moved again. Yeah. Is that a way to game the assault rower?

I don't know. I'm asking. Dude, I don't know either. I was lost. I think everyone was a little lost besides Sam Quant. He seemed to be the only one that had it together. And he trains alone in his garage, and that's adversity enough. So he knows adversity.

You win 10th and 7th. Do you think that that ends up being bumped up a little bit? I did? Yeah. Oh, I was 10th and 7th? That's better than I thought. Usually, I mean, let's say the rower works. Do you think it goes like 8th and 5th?

Yeah, because the second one, I got 20 seconds less of time to do dumbbell snatches, and I think I could have done a dumbbell snatch every three seconds. So it would have bumped me up in that first part A a good amount. You didn't go to the briefing. I didn't go to the briefing. I'm going to go tomorrow. I'm going to go tomorrow. I'm going to go tomorrow. Maybe you can tell me. Maybe you ask somebody.

What was the word on the strict pull-up? What was the word? Yeah. What did you guys have to do? What were you told? They said you can either, well, as long as you don't show movement with the legs during the rep, you're good.

But if your legs assist you in any way or move, like they have to stay in a locked position until your chin goes over then your legs can move so i just get single and it works and that's just the judge's call judge's call i got no no reps on the strict pull-up but i did get a lot of no reps on the box jump over because the standard wasn't as clear to me what was the standard there that you can use your hands to assist on the way down and i thought that meant you could touch your quads like but i it meant you can only touch the box i was a little confused by that but everything now it's probably just there because of the 30 inch box not the 24 inch box and then yeah yeah i don't know it was it was clear but unclear like i'm not complaining i'm

like hey it happened everyone went through it. Right. Yeah. Yeah. So I think I ended up right where I should end up. I think we just lost Caleb. He was freaking out. Or is that you? Are you going to tell me this? Is Devon even on here, bro?

Oh, it's probably James. It's just us. It's just the three of us now. Yeah, we hear your phone, James. Oh, sorry. Is it blowing up? No, it's okay. It's all good.

That's it. It's fine. Did they tell you you had to put the dumbbell down in between repetitions? Yes. Yeah. I guess I'm just so popular after getting a tenth and an eighth. That's just so big time. It is.

It's not bad at all. Well, you're going to get really blown up after tomorrow. Yeah, right, because we were actually asking each other who we thought would win between you and Fikowski. I think John said Fikowski, and I said you. It's going to be interesting. I mean, Ricky's also in the mix for that kind of workout, and so is Roman. Ricky's washed up. No, they don't swim as fast as you guys.

Oh, man. I don't know. Your last stat of me swimming was two years ago, so hope you're right. That stuff doesn't leave you. It's like riding a bike. Yeah. I did swim eight years in summer league, but that was also my young year. So we'll see what happens.

If you were to ask Savant about your time spent swimming as a youngster, it would mean that you're going to win single-handedly just by saying that. Oh, my gosh. Yeah, he advocates for the young. I like that. What's the general sentiment amongst everyone you've spoken to about all the changes made on the events uh i feel like it's still pretty well rounded uh it made it more of a squatty day than a grippy day like originally it was going to be like a whole grip limiter day like because i've been through i went through all

the workouts and i'm like my grip is just after biceps. And I'm not feeling that at all after day one. I'm feeling mostly legs and some, like, pec, a lot of pec. From the dips. From the dips and the pull-ups, actually. I was getting some. My pecs were the thing lighting up, not my lats or my biceps. I'm going to throw John under the bus one more time. And he goes, there's no way spring like Fikowski

are going to be able to handle those straight pull-ups because you got long arms. You're a taller dude. Don't right, John. You said it, right? Yeah. Yeah. Okay. And they and they did and they did great. Thank you, John. Once you beat me in a brutal Friday, you can start talking some smack.

I'm trying my best. I'm waiting for a bench press workout. That's what I'm waiting on. Oh, so cute. James, I've been following you for a while, and I know you've been impressive on the machines and with your aerobic stuff, but I did not think you'd be able to hit 265 on that snatch hang snatch, and then you were pretty fired up about it. I was pretty fired up.

I mean, I got a no rep on the first one, and then I was like, okay, well, I'm going to have to really hit a three rep back snatch now. So that was like a three rep PR. That's crazy. And workouts like Cordito, when they change it like that, the way they did, in my opinion, it made it kind of a little man workout. Like the shorter you are, the better you were going to be at that workout. Yeah, Colton smoked everyone by 40 seconds.

Right. But like just in general, like the smaller you are, you're more advantaged in that workout. Yeah. And we were talking, and Hiller made a good point. He was like, if you're less than 25th in this, no matter what size you are, then you should not dream of being top 10 at the CrossFit Games because you're just not going to be fit enough.

And then we noticed you beat – who did he beat? Bukowski in that workout? And then you beat Bukowski in Roman? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Do you feel like you're kind of getting to that level, I guess is what I'm saying, like ready to make the jump to like around top 10? Yeah, I want to climb your mountain, John. I want to climb your mountain, John.

I want to climb your mountain. I feel like I have- Confidence wise though, you know? Yeah, like I feel like I have a lot more faith in myself to push the limits, know when to turn on the gas, know when it's full send time, know when to go hypoxic. Like I feel like I learned a lot of this stuff over the last four months, like really what I'm capable of. There'd be a lot of workouts I'd finished in the last few years. I'm like,

huh, I could have got more out of that. And I know how to get all I can out of each workout now. So I feel like that's really what's closed the gap. And my strength is just finally like, I'm becoming a man and it's helping. So yes, I feel like I'm in a place where I'm like, oh, I can beat anyone on that floor now. Becoming a man. Becoming a man. Did you hear Sevan talking about that? He's like, is he over it? Yeah, he insulted you kind of.

No, I don't think it was an insult. He was just like, he's all the way through puberty now, right? He's finally a man. And I go, that 265-pound snatch looks like he's a man now. No, no, no, that's not what he said. That's not what he said. He said, do you think he's done? Like, this is how good he's a man now. No, no, no. That's not what he said. That's not what he said. He said, he said, he said, does that, do you think he's done? Like, he's, this is how good he's going to be.

Oh, right. Like, he's not going any further. That's what he said. And I was, and I was like, I think he's got, like, two more years to be, to reach, like, where his, you know, kind of sustainable peak's going to be. I feel like, like, I don't know. Would you argue Vellner's still getting better? No.

No? I think, I think Vellner has been the same fit for about five years yeah okay okay so so to reach that point you think it's gonna be two more years for me where i'm like just sustainable that's that's my guess i mean honestly you keep going like fraser i think fraser got fitter till 2020 yeah but uh i'm just gonna just gonna keep rolling with the roll with what i got i i did get pretty lucky with the programming uh no high volume ring muscle ups and really no high volume handstand push-ups so i'm like hey like i avoided two things that would have kicked my butt here yeah go ahead john brought up corta dito and how i how i said earlier if you're not

an athlete in this field that can finish higher than said earlier if you're not an athlete in this field that can finish higher than 25th and you're kind of toast in general you're never going to get towards the top of the top 10 of the games but i remember watching you during this reps ahead event on an event where by all means you probably shouldn't have beaten the athlete that you're going up against in that but it was impressive to me to see that you let the guy get out to a lead who's the athlete you were going up against right and you just kind of kept going you kept going and your endurance and your ability to keep rep after rep with them was impressive i can tell you've been working on that along with your strength thank you yeah it's like

crossfit strength i feel like it's more important to have, to be able to move a bar fast and heavy in a workout rather than just move a heavy bar. Like, I feel like that's- And Jacob Heppner. I agree. Yeah. You know what? Jacob Heppner can beat me. He's always good at operating heavy barbells for reps, lots of reps. That's you.

I'm trying. I'm trying, bro. Brute, we do a lot of that. Matt doesn't let me take a break from any of that any day. So I guess I'll credit that to him and his programming. All right. Johnny, you got anything else for James? No, man. Good luck tomorrow. Wait, hold on.

Who do you think will win between you and Picasso tomorrow? I'll take myself. I'll go on on myself. I'll take James too. If I get to the runner before him, I'll beat him. I'll go on on myself. I'll take James too. If I get to the runner before him, I'll beat him. I think so too. I think whoever gets to the runner first, that's a wrap. It doesn't matter. I mean, I've only been running on an air runner the last three months,

so I'm very confident on it too. Like I know my pace. I know what I can do. So I feel good about it. Pekowski got passed by a girl on a run once. He's never going to beat James on a run. I got passed by Taylor self on the last run swim row at Waza. So I can't have that. Don't worry.

He tells us every single day. Oh, I bet you got beaten by a girl too. Then I, yeah, bro. Yeah, I did.

Taylor's a girl. Okay, boys, I got to go eat dinner. Thanks for having me on. Have a good one, James. Thank you. Good luck,

mom. Bye. I'm to go eat dinner. Thanks for having me on. Have a good one, James. Thank you. Good luck, bro. I'm just going to say big. Dude, I love James. He's so cool. He's probably thinking, where's Sevan? I know. I just wanted to come on and talk to Sevan. The second string people. Hey, we should do this.

But then again, I really don't like that format after watching it. It sounded cool. It's painful. I'm just saying. That's what we're expecting. You've done DT. I've done DT.

Let's do DT to the death. It's like, oh, my God. That's the dude. I don't want to do DT to the death. Are you kidding? I'm more in like, I got to train tomorrow, too. I'm not trying to do DT to the death. Are you kidding? I'm more in like I got to train tomorrow too. I'm not trying to pick myself up for that. It could be – we could do it with 405 back squats.

I'm down for that. Like three reps ahead at 405 back squats. That would be wicked. Oh, I was just thinking max reps. No, it would be reps ahead. So what do you – explain it to me. You don't understand. Didn't you you say you watch do it? Yeah Yeah, I know it but just a back squat or as a workout

We would each have a 405 pound barbell and we would be squatting until one of us has three reps more than the other person So I would need to get to ten before you guys seven. Okay, or vice versa All right, so you okay. I'm down for that if you want to do this so we could be still going i could be at like 51 you could be at 53. you know like all right john have fun get 54. yeah oh and just start playing games start playing games yeah oh that would be honestly that sounds worse than dt but i i'm more game for that punishment than I am for DT. That was the issue I had with it. It was these lighter movements and all these repetitions.

It just sounds like a beatdown, but this is a different sort of beatdown. It'd be interesting. I'm down for that. You let me know when. I know you're kind of down for anything. Yeah. Unless I think I'm going to get crushed. I got to know that I'll have a chance.

What's your max at the moment? My max what? Set of muscle-ups. Ring? Oh, yeah, let's do it right now. Cool, get warmed up, fellas. 60 seconds, coffee, pods, and wads. You got a barbell set up back there?

What is that? I got it in my garage gym. I think I could probably hit 405 for 11 at the moment if I had to. Just max set? Yeah. I mean, yeah, around there. You think you got 11? So it's fair.

Yeah, I think so. I don't have a belt or anything, though. Like, that's all at the gym. It'd probably be more fun with 225 snatches i would i would prefer yeah i'd have more fun doing that because it would hurt people would be missing squat whatever just snatches or squat okay okay yeah i'd have more fun with squad matches what's going on three reps three reps all right let's shut this thing down okay what was my post about brian friend about i don't know he's like a professional golfer or something
